Evanston residents speak about affordable housing at a special City Council meeting Monday. Aldermen discussed two proposed developments with affordable housing units.

Council talks affordable housing

Aldermen consider senior, mixed-income housing developments

By SNEHA DEY

the daily northwestern @snehadey_

Aldermen considered new affordable housing development plans which would serve seniors and mixed-income households. In a unanimous vote at Monday’s special City Council

meeting, aldermen approved a letter to the Illinois Housing Development Authority, expressing support for an affordable senior housing development. The developers, Evergreen Real Estate Group and the Council for Jewish Elderly, proposed a 60-unit building with elevator access at 1015 Howard St. Aldermen also tabled a redevelopment

request of a city-owned property at 506 South Blvd. The site on South Boulevard is currently a parking lot known as “Lot 1.” Ald. Melissa Wynne (3rd) said she had received phone calls from residents and asked for further discussion about the development before moving forward. “Lot 1 has historically been underused,” Wynne said. “I

think there’s a lot of misinformation. … What we need to do is slow this down.” Families will pay 30 percent of their income, and the remainder is subsidized in units reserved for low-income households, according to city documents. Additionally, median-income households » See HOUSING, page 6

With the incoming Northwestern class of 2023, every undergraduate student that qualifies for financial assistance from the University will fall under NU’s no-loan policy, which was introduced in fall 2016. As it stands, three classes of students — 2020, 2021 and 2022 — receive financial aid under this policy, which removes loans from a student’s financial aid package. Typically, universities meet financial need through a combination of work-study, loans and grant funding, but at NU, financial aid packages now only include work-study and federal and institutional grant funding. However, students can still take out federal and private loans to cover additional expenses and the Expected Family Contribution calculated by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Once the policy is fully implemented next year, Phil Asbury, the University’s director of financial aid, said NU will have a better prediction of what financial aid

expenditures will be in the University’s larger budget. “Until we’ve been fully implemented, we’ve had disproportionate increases in the amount that we spend on financial aid each year,” Asbury said. “That can be a little shocking to a university budget. You implement one year, and then you kind of step back from it, and it’s easy for people to forget the reason that your aid expenditures go up each year.” Fewer students at NU take out loans than at other institutions, which is a result of the no-loan policy, Asbury added. But even under the policy, some are concerned about the financial options available.

Benefits of the policy

As a student with a low-income background, Weinberg sophomore Diana Velazquez said the University has been financially generous to her family. “My dad earns minimum wage and my mom doesn’t work,” she said. “Northwestern has really supported me and given me scholarships, which takes off the burden so I don’t have to look for a job or find a work-study job.” When the no-loan policy was announced, NU also placed a $20,000 cap on the amount » See LOANS, page 6

Exploring the Holy Land Black ‘History Makers’ reflect Jewish students have mixed feelings about Israel By GABBY BIRENBAUM

daily senior staffer @birenbomb

This article is the second in a series on religious involvement on Northwestern’s campus. In the midst of studies showing declining levels of religiosity among college students, the series will spotlight different religious groups’ methods and thoughts on maintaining their faith. Michael Simon, the executive director of Northwestern Hillel, knows that Jewish students’ relationships to Israel can be complicated and are not easily defined. To that end, Hillel offers a variety of ways for students to travel to and connect with a country surrounded by an often polarizing discourse. College is a time when students begin exploring their identities, Simon said, and many

begin to consider what it means to be both “Jewish and a human” in the 21st century. “Having a connection to Israel could, and even should, be a component of that,” Simon said. “One of the best ways to create those relationships (with Israel) is to actually go and have an in-person experience and get to know, beyond the headlines, what Israel (is) really all about.” Among other travel opportunities, Hillel began offering NU Perspectives last year, a “leadership journey to Israel and the Palestinian Territories” to engage students with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Yet Israel’s polarizing nature presents a common dilemma for Jewish college students trying to define their relationship to the country. Weinberg sophomore Carol Silber, who spent a gap year in Israel before coming to Northwestern, said travel to Israel is a critical component for Jewish people to form their own opinions about the state. “It’s important for people to find (connections) themselves, especially because there’s this inherent Jewish expectation that people have a relationship with Israel,” Silber said. “But, since

Serving the University and Evanston since 1881

Israel is a very complicated and multifaceted place, it’s really important that people take it upon themselves to establish what that relationship should be.” Silber said her gap year allowed her to experience dayto-day life in Israel in a way that prior family vacations had not and deepened her relationship to the country. For Tamar Jacobsohn, a Weinberg sophomore, traveling with classmates to Israel through the NU Perspectives trip complicated her bond with a country she had previously lived in for three months in high school. Jacobsohn lived on a kibbutz — a communal farm — during her junior year of high school, and she said the experience made her fall in love with Israel. However, in hindsight, she said she was living in a bubble that presented a somewhat propagandized view of the country. Once she arrived at NU, she said she began realizing people had valid criticisms of Israel, including people in the Jewish community. During the trip, Jacobsohn » See RELIGION, page 6

Discussion features playwright, ETHS student By JAMES POLLARD

the daily northwestern @pamesjollard

At the second annual Black Evanstonian History Makers Up Close event, Chloe Smith, a junior at Evanston Township High School and Gloria Bond Clunie, an award-winning playwright and the founder of the Fleetwood-Jourdain Art Guild Gallery, explored the challenges they face as women of color in predominantly white environments. “In a classroom setting like that every day, I don’t feel like I belong there,” Smith said, tearing up. “It just gets discouraging at times.” More than 30 people attended the roundtable discussion hosted Monday evening in the Fleetwood-Jourdain Art Guild Gallery in the Lorraine H. Morton Civic Center. This is the first of a series of events the city of Evanston will host to honor Black History Month. Dino Robinson, the production coordinator at Northwestern University Press, moderated the event. He described the two guests as “history makers” and “legacy keepers,” and asked them

to share their activities, accomplishments, role models and hopes for the future and their legacies. Tim Rhoze, the artistic director of the Fleetwood-Jourdain Theatre, said the event was meant to highlight people of color who are changing Evanston for the better. Smith directs a children’s choir and helps out at a daycare, while also talking at events like Women Speak in Evanston — a national movement fostering

discussions of gender, identity and social justice. Clunie has published plays like “North Star” about African-American experiences and won the 2011 Medallion Award from the Children’s Theatre Foundation of America.

Aldermen talk policy for language accessibility By MADDY DAUM

the daily northwestern

Aldermen discussed the Limited English Language Access Policy at a Human Services Committee meeting on Monday, aiming to help limited English proficient (LEP) individuals access more city programs. Expected to roll out in a year, the plan will provide LEP residents with translated documents and professionally-trained interpreters. Paulina Martinez, assistant to the city manager, said she will lead the effort to draft a language access plan and convene a group of staff members from all departments to determine necessary action. The proposed plan calls for these staff members to participate in an analysis recommended by Title VI in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Martinez said. According to city documents, the participants will consider four factors in their assessment: the number of LEP individuals, how often they need city services, how important the programs are to this population and what resources are available to them. Ald. Cicely Fleming (9th) said 12 months seems like “a very long time” until this policy is implemented, considering how many residents are currently unable to communicate with their government. Until then, the city will continue to use Language

to speak to us in Spanish, so we can understand the difficulty of not understanding the language.” Martinez said other communities have taken nine to 18 months to create a written policy, which is an extra step she wants to take. In order to create a comprehensive plan, Martinez said city staff need to determine which vital documents need to be translated. She added that this process can

Liberals and other prominent leaders from Northam’s own party have called on him to resign, including Hillary Clinton, former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). The editorial from the Times-Dispatch said Northam is a “decent and considerate man” but added that the photo showed “a lack of judgment” in the context of Virginia’s history of slavery and Jim Crow. “It gives us no pleasure to see (Northam’s) rapid fall from grace,” the Times-Dispatch wrote. “And yet, his poor judgment has

undermined his standing with Virginians in ways that we believe will permanently impair his ability to act as an effective governor.” When the photo emerged on Friday, Northam admitted he appeared in the photo. However, he backtracked on Saturday, saying he wasn’t either of the people in the photo, though he acknowledged it was taken over 30 years ago and admitted to dressing as Michael Jackson in blackface at a different time. So far, Northam has resisted calls for his resignation.

While they are formulating the policy, Fleming wants the city to “keep pushing forward,” because there are residents who need services now. Although there are members of staff who currently assist LEP individuals, services are inconsistent throughout the day, deputy city manager Kimberly Richardson said. “It is very much on an as-needed basis,” Richardson said. “We are trying to change that to be more of a consistent process … and understand that we get to have a multifaceted outward-facing staff that can assist with these kind of situations.” Richardson said that residents can also call 311, which provides translation services and a language line that offers languages other than Spanish. As the population of multilingual individuals increases, Richardson said the city wants to ensure that everyone receives the same level of service. “The community we are in is one of diversity, and language is part of that diversity,” Richardson said. “Sometimes we take for granted that English isn’t everyone’s proficient language, and we want to make sure that everyone who comes and interacts with our city services feels that they are welcomed.”

SOLR starts service worker petition By AMY LI

daily senior staffer @amyhitsthebooks

Students are calling on Northwestern to treat its service workers better, saying the University’s new food service provider, Compass Group North America, has inflicted “emotional distress, financial anxiety and physical pain” on them since it assumed operations last fall. Students Organizing for Labor Rights, a coalition that works to build student-labor solidarity, is circulating a petition demanding an end to the mistreatment of workers, which has received over 2,000 signatures since it was posted at the end of January. The petition includes calls for managers to not pressure employees to work excessive overtime and to treat employees with respect. It also calls on Compass to take employee complaints seriously and hold managers accountable for “verbal abuse and racist harassment.” The petition said the conditions of workers are in conflict with the University’s “rhetorics of treating workers as family.” SOLR previously worked with UNITE HERE Local 1, a union representing NU service workers, to establish a contract that would ensure workers’ pay, positions and job stability were not compromised during the transition to Compass. Despite these assurances last year, the group said, Compass has continued to act without proper regard for employee well-being. “Many months later, we can now firmly assert that the presence of Compass on Northwestern’s campus has led to labor abuses, intense anxiety and a complete disregard for the humanity of Northwestern’s service workers,” the group wrote in the petition. SOLR member and Weinberg junior Sharmain Siddiqui said the group has kept in regular contact with workers since the summer, when Compass officially transitioned into its role as NU’s primary food service provider. However, many employees did not wish to

speak out against Compass, potentially for fear of retaliation, SOLR member Allyson Bondy said. One of the petition’s demands calls for media transparency, as Compass has taken issue with employees participating in interviews in the past, the Weinberg junior added. Since last quarter, SOLR has been meeting with University administrators and Compass representatives about the issues workers raised. The group chose to release the petition and garner student support when meetings led to no resolutions, Bondy said. Georgene Sardis, the Compass marketing director, declined to comment. “We’ve had closed-door meetings with Compass and (vice president of Student Affairs) Patricia Telles-Irvin, but no material of change has come out of that,” Bondy said. “We need it to escalate further so that the company and school feel more pressure to address the issue.” Siddiqui said NU tends to exclude service workers when propagating the narrative of

community on campus, and students — as members of NU — have a responsibility to be invested. “We pay a lot of money to go here and that means we as students have a lot of power that we can leverage against the University,” the Weinberg junior said. “That puts us in a very unique position of privilege and gives us a platform, and by virtue of that, it means we have a responsibility to help and do better.” SOLR member Seri Lee said working with University employees through SOLR has been one of their favorite parts of being at Northwestern. “Some of the best, warmest, most amazing, inspiring, thoughtful friends I’ve made on this campus are workers,” the Weinberg junior said. “I think too many students here exist in a bubble, and it’s important that we expand our notions of community to include workers as an essential part of our community.” amyli2021@u.northwestern.edu

The large-scale impact of getting an American name JACQUELINE OH

OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR

Over the past couple weeks, I read Dani Zhang’s column on why she changed her name since she came to Northwestern because of the differential treatment she faced having a non-white name. This was compelling to me, as I recently learned that, throughout Japanese colonization, a significant number of Koreans had to change their surnames to sound more Japanese. Ordinances 19 and 20 of the Sōshi-kaimei policy required Koreans to adopt Japanese names, a law also known as 창씨 개명 in Korean. The ordinances changed many surnames: someone named Park (朴) had to change their name to Kinoshita (木下), for example. In 1939, more than 80 percent of Koreans complied with the name-change ordinance, according to Columbia University’s Asia for Educators. However, Koreans could not completely change their names to sound natively Japanese. According to the Korea Times, national distinctions were maintained and remained in public records, sending a message to Koreans that “they couldn’t be completely Japanese.” The Japanese were essentially trying to get rid of the Korean language, and this sparked nationalist activism to maintain it — otherwise, Korean culture was in danger of becoming extinct. The intent of the Japanese at the time was to destroy the Koreans’ national identity

— thus decreasing the potential threat of an uprising — but also to make it known to Koreans that they would never fully be Japanese citizens. This second-rate classification created an unacknowledged difference that left many Koreans conflicted about their own identities in the post-colonial era. Although the liberation of Korea encouraged many citizens to restore their original names, a significant amount of Koreans retained their Japanese name to circumvent discrimination or to meet the naturalization requirements to become Japanese citizens. What is the significance of all of this? Currently, changing names in the United States is voluntary. However, the reason someone — particularly a person of color — makes this decision is why this is such a problem on a larger scale. According to the Korean Times, “Although (initially) voluntary, low-level Japanese officials forced Koreans to switch their family names if they wanted to go to school, register their names anywhere (marriage, for example), buy or sell land or apply for work.” This caused many parents to change their children’s names, all while asking for forgiveness from their ancestors. The freedom to name your own child was forsaken, not only because of the government’s dictation, but because parents wanted to make sure that their children could live their best lives possible. While it’s difficult to imagine that government-mandated name changes would ever happen today, the truth is that it still does — unconsciously through college applications, job interviews and even in social settings like dates. I formally go by Jacqueline on all of my

official papers, but at Northwestern, many people refer to me by my Korean name, YoonJae. I never really gave it much thought. When I asked my parents why I was named Jacqueline, they said that they didn’t know of any “white” names at the time and asked my obstetrician to name me instead. I haven’t asked much past that, but I presume they wanted me to have an American name to make my life easier as a first generation child in the United States. It’s sad that traces of our Asian identities have to be sacrificed for our future, whether it’s for pre-professional reasons like Dani’s or in order to be treated more humanely, like Koreans during the Japanese colonization. Seeing how much history foreshadows the

future is alarming because it repeats itself, and we often don’t even notice. The discrimination and prejudice we face when someone reads our applications and reviews whether we get hired for a job is not addressed in today’s society, or even on this campus, as seriously as it should be. It may be because right now, it’s hard to see where we — and our names — fit into Northwestern. Jacqueline Oh is a Weinberg first-year. She can be contacted at jacquelineoh2022@u.northwestern.edu.

Life should be an experiment, not a predestined package ALEXANDRA HUANG

DAILY COLUMNIST

Since the middle of last quarter, I started seeing my life as an experiment. I always thought of myself as a responsible and serious person, but realized I am more than that. I started to realize how incomplete my understanding of myself was, and I set out to spend the next few quarters just following my heart and seeing where it takes me. It started with trying out dance. I went to weekly dance workshops in Evanston and discovered how much I love the free form of expression. People look at me in shock when they hear that I want to pick up dance without ever having danced in my life. “I would never be able to do it from scratch,” one of my friends said. Though I am highly uncoordinated and have no background in dance, my heart told me to do it anyway. I let go of all my instinctive worries and just set myself free. I tried my best to ignore judgments and constantly remind myself that while others have been doing this professionally for years, I am new in the realm of dance. I tried, and that’s all I cared about. The liberating feeling of my body flowing through the music

sets my soul free, and the experience is like no other. Experimentation also takes place in the classroom. Instead of taking a typical math or economics class, I decided to take some less traditional classes, such as Philosophy of Religion, Language and Gender, and even a classics class on the Poetry of War and Peace.

These classes can appear non-practical at first sight, but they have opened my mind in ways I would have never imagined. Questions from “Why do humans go to war despite knowing its faulty consequences?” to “What are human virtues and should we pursue them?” are perfect for college students like myself to consider. I believe that we have to become full people before we choose a profession. Considering and tackling these questions will help us not only understand society and our world more, but ourselves as well. If we don’t even know who we are, then how will we know what we are truly searching for?

I’ve also made breakthroughs in my social life through experimentation. I am the last person that would come to mind when I mention the word “sorority,” but I still decided to go through recruitment anyway. I’ve watched movies like “Sydney White” and have heard of the unfavorable reputation about sororities, but how would I know what it is really like to be a sorority girl without having a taste of it myself ? While I did have many doubts about recruitment and it was hard to make up my mind, I did it anyway. Even though I have now determined that sorority life is not for me, I am so glad I that stepped outside of my comfort zone to meet new people and see what recruitment is really like. Throughout the process, I met so many interesting and different girls, getting to ask them questions about why they chose their majors and what motivated them personally to join sororities. Getting inspired — or sometimes uninspired — by others is incredibly rewarding. This part of my experimentation involved learning from my fellow peers at Northwestern and understanding the unique choices people make. My process of experimentation sometimes feels long, treacherous and never-ending. But that is what makes it an experiment. It’s easy to want to quit along the way and just go back to being comfortable, but I’ve learned

that the bigger changes I adopt, the sooner I can learn more about myself and the world and the faster I can grow. If I had continued to remain in the same routines and carry out the same actions day after day, week after week, then chances are I would have continued to take the same classes and have the same opinions about what I wanted. I am a firm believer in the doctrine that we are not who we were, but who we want to become. To reference Michelle Obama’s phrase, we are all becoming. The process of becoming is supposed to be full of trials and errors, as well as unexpected challenges and rewards. That sounds difficult, but that is also the fun part. By stepping outside of my comfort zone, my life became so much more vibrant and exciting. I crossed paths with amazing people I would never have met if I had remained in my comfortable space, and I realized all these things about myself that I perhaps might have never discovered.

The senior housing development would be age-restricted with primarily one-bedroom units, Evergreen director of development David Block said. Rent will either be fixed at an affordable rate or require tenants to pay no more than 30 percent of their household income, he said. Evergreen currently manages over 8,000 units in 13 states. CJE has provided senior services,

LOANS

From page 1 of loans students in the class of 2019 and above could take out in their four years. If a student’s loans exceeded $20,000, the remainder was covered by a “Debt Cap Scholarship.” Weinberg senior Grant Everly said the debt cap was a “blanket security” that he wasn’t going to graduate with more than $20,000 in loan debt. “I’ve heard a lot of horror stories about the amount of debt people take to go to college, and one of the benefits of Northwestern is I’ll walk out without debilitating amounts of debt,” Everly said.

Loans to cover Expected Family Contribution

While loans are no longer included in financial aid packages, students can still take out federal loans to meet the Expected Family Contribution, the amount NU decides a family can pay given its information on FAFSA and the Northwestern University Aid Application — used for returning students — or CollegeBoard CSS Profile, which is used for incoming students only. SESP junior Kelsey Morton, who is part of the first class to fall under this policy, said she had to take out federal loans and private Discover Student Loans to pay for her large Expected Family Contribution, as it was over twice the amount her father could pay. “I already owe close to $30,000 in just private loans, and then every year I have to take out the max amount of federal loans,” Morton said.

She also heard from a Palestinian businessman about the difficulties of living in Ramallah; he said he waited inordinate amounts of time to get into Jerusalem for meetings and had only recently acquired 3G cell service at home.

with a large clientele based in Evanston, and it currently runs adult day services at the development site. Block said the developers were interesting in helping Evanston residents. Ald. Judy Fiske (1st) expressed support of this priority. “I want to make sure (residents) who have invested and given so much to the community have an opportunity to get something back,” Fiske said. “To build affordable units to say we’re building affordable units makes us look good but is not serving the people I would like to serve.” The letter from the City will supplement the developers’ application to the IHDA, due on Feb.

15. The developers will ask IHDA for over $14 million in low-income housing tax credit equity, $450,000 in donation tax credits and $2 million in soft funds, according to city documents. Ald. Ann Rainey (8th) said IDHA has already expressed “overwhelming support” in the preapplication process. The letter commits $2 million from the city to fill the gap in financing, according to city documents. However, Ald. Peter Braithwaite (2nd) expressed concern over making such a commitment “in one swoop” without knowing where the money will come from. City staff determined home funds and

affordable housing funds were likely sources but agreed to look at other sources to acquire the money. Rainey said the offer of 60 affordable units “would never be offered again” and has “never been offered before.” She asked why they were “twiddling our thumbs” over the details. “To pass on this opportunity would be really folly,” Rainey said. “We have spent so much more on single units to rehab them. There is no more greater need than senior housing with elevators.”

If a student’s financial situation changes outside what is reported on FAFSA or the University Aid Application, the student can submit an appeal to the Office of Financial Aid for their extenuating circumstances to be taken into consideration. For Morton, the appeal process lowered her Expected Family Contribution drastically. However, she said the process was difficult because the only specific options listed were “extreme circumstances.” Her situation — her family was spending a lot of its net income on health insurance — fell under the catch-all “other” option, she said, which left her wondering if it was a valid reason for an appeal. “I was so stressed out about that, so I went to CAPS,” Morton said. “My therapist wrote a letter to the financial aid office, saying ‘please help her.’ That letter was also part of the appeal form package, and I feel like that helped my case a lot. But people shouldn’t have to go to therapy to get the financial aid that they need.”

students with financial need, some students say it’s not enough. Weinberg sophomore Shanida Younvanich said that although SES has often come in handy, she thinks the Office of Financial Aid can do better to provide more financial security to low-income students. Younvanich added that she hopes the University works to support low-income students beyond financial support by helping change the stigma surrounding them. “People are indignant because we are paying a lot less than what they are, but they don’t realize that’s because we literally cannot pay any more,” she said. “You feel a little less inclined to ask for more financial aid because you don’t want to seem like you’re freeloading.”

or “ambiguous” personal expenses. However, she said it is more important to remember that low-income and first-generation students all have different backgrounds and financial needs, and the University should create programs and initiatives with that in mind. “At the end of the day, what lower-income, first-gen students need is for the entire campus to really think of all their students for their developing programs, initiatives, requirements and really centering the experience of all our marginalized groups,” Cockrell said. “That’s what they really need — for faculty, staff and administrators to lead with an inclusive lens.” Because NU covers 100 percent of need-based aid, Morton, the SESP junior, said the University isn’t necessarily the issue, but the system that calculates a student’s Expected Family Contribution is “definitely a problem.” Still, she said she wished NU communicated options better to students who might need to take out loans to cover their Expected Family Contribution. “You go to this company and say, ‘Hey, can I have this money?’ And then they pay it to the school, so the school knows you’re taking out these loans,” Morton said. “Northwestern needs to reach out and say, ‘I see that you took out $16,000 this year from Discover. Let’s talk about that to see what we can do so you don’t have to do that in the future.’”

Further outreach needed

In addition to the Office of Financial Aid, students with financial need can seek out additional resources from several offices and programs on campus, including Student Enrichment Services, Northwestern Career Advancement and Books for Cats. Velazquez said she received winter gear through the SES programs, as well as free books through Books for Cats for the courses she was taking. “If Northwestern didn’t support programs like that, I don’t know how I would have done it,”Velazquez said. While the University has numerous programs for

This year, the University met its “20 by 2020” goal of having 20 percent of the entering class be Pell Grant-eligible. Asbury said the University does not have any new goals or initiatives similar to “20 by 2020” — instead, he said the conversation on campus has turned to helping students better navigate the resources available to them. “We want students to know everything that’s available, and that’s the hard part about being a generous university with a lot of programs, is that there are a lot of programs,” Asbury said. “We need to do a little better job of coordinating all of those.” SES director Kourtney Cockrell said it would be helpful if the University was more transparent on what loans cannot cover, whether that be health insurance

“Doing the NU Perspectives trip and really seeing firsthand why there are those criticisms (of Israel), and having other people see firsthand why I support Israel and love Israel so much as a Jew –– it made me even more confused,” Jacobsohn said. Simon said he knows Israel and conflict often go hand-in-hand, and students cannot separate the two when forming a connection with Israel. Though Hillel has only sent one group so far, he said the NU Perspectives trip was successful in getting both Jewish and non-Jewish students to meaningfully engage with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Regardless of how they get there, Simon said

he hopes Jewish students return to campus with a deepened understanding of the Israeli people and the realities of life in Israel –– both positive and negative. “I would hope that if they’ve gone to Israel on whatever kind of a program, that they would have begun to develop a relationship that’s meaningful for them and that they would want to continue that through and beyond their time at Northwestern,” he said. However, continuing the conversation on campus and beyond can be difficult, especially in liberal spaces, Jacobsohn said. Although she works to bring awareness to Israel’s positive work while still engaging in

FENCING

Northwestern hosts and fences the country’s best By STEPHEN COUNCIL

the daily northwestern @stephencouncil

This weekend, Ryan Fieldhouse echoed with screams. The fencers were in town. The No. 2 Wildcats hosted the Northwestern Duals this weekend, a two-day meet where the top talent in the country competed with clashing swords and yells of jubilation. NU faltered with two losses on Saturday, but rebounded to finish the meet 9-2, taking four wins over top-10 teams. The Cats (36-3) started the meet with a decisive 18-9 win over No. 9 Penn but then fell in tight matches against No. 1 Notre Dame and No. 10 Temple. They wrapped up Saturday with easy wins over Wayne State and Lawrence. Coach Zach Moss said it was important to keep things in perspective. “Yesterday was a good day in any season in the program’s history,” Moss said on Sunday. “Everyone felt a little disappointed, which just says how high this group of fencers has set the bar.” Back at Ryan Fieldhouse on Sunday morning, the Cats leapt out of the gate with victories against No. 8 Duke, Caltech and No. 6 Princeton. Next up was conference rival No. 5 Ohio State with its star foil Camilla Rivano. Rivano, a sophomore from Italy, is an Olympic hopeful with two World Cup titles to her name. NU kept it tight early, as sabre fell 5-4. More and more fencers and spectators surrounded strips one and two, where the Cats

Just seeing people who look like you is enough.” Clunie, who studied theater at Northwestern, said she did not think that Smith’s generation

would have the same experiences as she did. Clunie integrated her elementary school, and she said she was one of five black students in the theater program during her time at NU. Her experience in college left her with her mixed feelings, she said. “I went, but is it my school?” Clunie said. Smith also shared that working with children as a choir director fills her with joy and brings her closer to God. Clunie said people like Smith

“I was clenching my fist — I wanted so bad for (Chen) to win, but I also wanted her to be happy with her own performance,” sophomore foil Sofia Simontov said. “I wanted her to come off the strip being satisfied with the way she fenced.” Chen played Rivano to a 4-4 tie, before a well aimed touch won the bout and the match for NU. Her teammates mobbed her, chanting “Go U! NU!” “I could see my score, but I didn’t know how close the overall score was. I had a feeling, but I just tried to set that aside and just focus on getting that one touch,” Chen said. The Cats swept through Fairleigh Dickinson and Cleveland State to finish the day and the meet. The strictly collegiate meet was the first of its kind at Ryan Fieldhouse. University President Morton Schapiro dropped in to watch on Saturday, when the team’s seniors were honored before the match with Temple. The friends and family in attendance brought a different kind of pressure, senior foil Yvonne Chart said, but she was glad her friends had the chance to finally see her fence. Despite the extra fans, the team itself always cheered loudest. Chart said the vocal support of Chen during the last bout against the Buckeyes shows how well they’ve come together. “The whole year has been about building that teamwork, building that framework so that we can become the best team that we can, and get those results,” Chart said. “And it shows.” stephencouncil2022@u.northwestern.edu give her hope for the future. Still, Clunie reminded the audience that previous gains by black politicians had been taken away, and that they must be vigilant in order to stay “in the room where it happens.” She said students should claim the spaces they exist in today. “I belong,” Clunie said. “I am good enough. I don’t have to be them.” jamespollard2022@u.northwestern.edu

HAPLESS

NU’s offense stumbles again in loss to lowly Nittany Lions Penn State

By ANDREW GOLDEN

daily senior staffer @andrewcgolden

With 4:52 remaining in the second half, A.J. Turner stole the ball off of a pass from Penn State guard Josh Reaves. As Turner ran to score the fast-break bucket, the 6-foot-7 junior forward tried to hold off the defender from stealing the ball, but never fully controlled the ball and eventually fumbled it, allowing the Nittany Lions to get a steal and eventually score. That play was a microcosm for the whole game — plenty of promising opportunities, but Northwestern continually let its chances slip through its fingers. “We had a number of opportunities in transition, whether it was 2-on-1s, 3-on-2s (or) 4-on-3s, where we came up empty,” coach Chris Collins said. “We had some costly turnovers when we needed to get buckets.” The Wildcats (12-10, 3-8 Big Ten) frequently cut into Penn State’s lead in the second half, but didn’t have enough momentum as the Nittany Lions (8-14, 1-10) defeated NU 59-52. Headed into Monday’s game, the Cats had been struggling to score. In its previous two games against Wisconsin and Maryland, NU averaged 49 points per game and shot 30.3 percent from the field.

Looking to spark the offense, Collins inserted junior forward Aaron Falzon into the starting lineup instead of Turner. Falzon didn’t have any effect on the game, failing to score a single point. Despite this, the Cats came out firing on all cylinders, making four of their first seven shots. Sophomore guard Anthony Gaines came out as the aggressor offensively, scoring five early points. Once NU took a 10-2 lead, the Cats’ shooting woes that have plagued them the last two games continued. Penn State took a 19-18 lead with 7:52 remaining in the first half as NU went 4-for-13 from the field during the Nittany Lions’ 17-8 run. The Cats trailed 32-30 at halftime, looking for answers in the second half — and they didn’t find any. NU was even worse in the second half, shooting a mediocre 28.1 percent, including 3-for-13 from the behind the arc. Gaines, who was the Cats’ most assertive scorer in the first half, picked up four fouls, including a technical, in the first 3:03 of the second half and fouled out late in the game. The only spark offensively was senior

MEN’S BASKETBALL

center Dererk Pardon, who scored 18 points in the game. After scoring just 5 points in the first half, Pardon kept NU afloat and went 6-of-8 in the second half. “It’s up to me and the rest of the staff to continue to find ways to help these guys offensively,” Collins said. “We know we have our limitations. … With what you have, you have to use your strengths.” The Cats brought the game within two points in the second half on multiple occasions, but ultimately couldn’t take the lead due to costly turnovers and inefficient offensive possessions. After a Miller Kopp 3-pointer made the score 47-45, NU finished the game 3-for-12 from the field and Penn State iced the game from the charity stripe, finishing 8-of-10. For the fifth straight game, the Cats have held their opponents to 70 or fewer points. Despite their stellar defense, once again, it was the offense that lagged behind. With nine games remaining, NU needs to figure out its offensive strategy, but, for now, it is costing the Cats victories. “With us, it’s just tough sledding offensively,” coach Chris Collins said. “Our defense is trying to give us a chance, we hold another opponent under 60 points in the league… our inability to put the ball in the basket is really hurting us right now.” andrewgolden2021@u.northwestern.

Wildcats dealt major blow NU falls short vs. Ohio State to tournament aspirations 27 By GREG SVIRNOVSKIY

By PETER WARREN

daily senior staffer @thepeterwarren

Before Monday, the last time Northwestern and Penn State played basketball marked the end of an era. On March 1, 2018, the Nittany Lions defeated the Wildcats in the Big Ten Tournament, 65-57, as Bryant McIntosh, Scottie Lindsey and Gavin Skelly played their final games in purple and white. Monday’s game may not have had the same historic significance, but it was an important game for the 2018-19 team. NU (12-10, 3-8 Big Ten) lost again to Penn State (8-14, 1-10) in a brutal 59-52 game at Welsh-Ryan Arena. For a team still hoping to make the NCAA Tournament, losing to a team that had not won a Big Ten contest all season was like a devastating jab to the Cats’ liver. It may not have knocked NU down, but it is a blow that is tough to come back from. The game may have felt like deja vu. For the third straight game, the defense played well while the offense looked the opposite. The Cats shot 31.7 percent from the field, their third straight game missing more than two-thirds of their shots. “You know what’s funny, they play much better at home than they do on the road, and I noticed they had been on the road a little bit,” Nittany Lions coach Pat Chambers said. “I was concerned at the three-point shooting at home. Truthfully. So we were just trying to switch, and stay high and take away threes.” Once again, senior forward Vic Law struggled from the field. After starting the season looking like a potential All-Big Ten player, the South Holland, Illinois native has been anything but since the calendar turned to 2019. In eight games in 2019, Law has failed to shoot better than 33 percent from the field in a contest. He has failed to score more than 13 points after scoring at least 13 in the first 11 games of the season, and his scoring average has dropped about four points. Plus, he has been dealing with a knee injury that kept him out of

a game against Michigan. Monday might have been Law’s worst shooting performance of the season — 3-for-17 from the field, 2-for-8 from three and 10 points scored in over 38 minutes of action. Law did manage to grab a game-high 10 rebounds and dish out a game-high six assists, but his night was still one to forget. “I thought he was more aggressive tonight,” coach Chris Collins said. “He has to handle the ball for us a lot… and it affects your ability to be in an aggressive mindset when you are in that role. I have no worries...nothing about me feels like Vic is not going to bounce back.” Law was not the only one to have a rough day from the field. Freshman forward Miller Kopp was 2-for-9, junior forward A.J. Turner was 2-for-7 and graduate guard Ryan Taylor was 2-for-5. Sophomore guard Anthony Gaines had a solid shooting performance in the first half, but he acquired his fourth personal foul three minutes into the second half and had to sit for 11 minutes before returning and then fouling out. Down in the post, senior center Dererk Pardon proved to be an efficient option. He finished 8-for-14 with 18 points and nine rebounds. In the second half, Pardon demanded the ball almost every possession and battled every single time down the floor to gain position in the post. On defense, the Cats were sound. Lamar Stevens may have scored 18 points on 5-for-11 shooting for Penn State, but he was not a factor for good stretches of the game. In total, NU allowed only five made jumpers in the game. Collins said the team did a good job of closing out on shooters but struggled to contain drives. In the Penn State locker room after the game, DMX blasted from the speakers as the team enjoyed its first Big Ten victory of the season. The NU locker room, after suffering arguably its worst loss of the year, was much different. “It’s always tough after a loss,” Pardon said. “When you go through those fights with your teammates and don’t come out the way you expect it to, you are going to be down.” peterwarren2021@u.northwestern.edu

Sophomores Ryan Deakin and Sebastian Rivera continued their dominant starts to the season on Sunday, but Northwestern fell 27-15 against No. 6 Ohio State (9-1, 5-1 Big Ten) — its fifth loss in the past six duals, all against Big Ten opponents. NU (3-8, 1-5) saw four wrestlers take home victories, three of whom won via major decision. Rivera, the top-ranked 125-pound wrestler in the nation, got NU started by earning four points against the Buckeyes’ Hunter Lucas, and junior Alec McKenna won his first dual of the season to give NU a 7-3 lead after three bouts. It didn’t last. The Cats won just two of the next seven bouts and lost four by either fall or major decision, dropping costly points along the way. Coach Matt Storniolo said the final score was not indicative of the way NU’s wrestlers attacked in the dual. The Cats’ problems, he said, lie in finishing. “It’s just finishing that last 2 percent,” Storniolo said. “We were close to scoring in those matches, just didn’t put the nail in the coffin.” After six bouts, NU found itself down by just one point, 12-11. From there, the Cats began to unravel. A major decision against Johnny Sebastian and Brendan Devine’s loss by fall gave Ohio State a commanding 22-11 lead, before the two sides traded blows to end the dual. Senior Conan Jennings took home the dual’s last match by shutting out Gary Traub at 285, an 11-0 win. Jennings and Deakin

both won their bouts by playing excellent defense, something which had Storniolo excited. “Ryan didn’t give him any room to breathe there,” Storniolo said. “Really solid performance. Conan kept points off the board but still could’ve done a little bit better defensively. But the effort was great with Conan. It’s always a great thing when guys are coming away with bonus points.” Deakin beat his fifth top-10 wrestler of the season, improving to 7-2 on the year against ranked opponents and outscoring them 68-38. He said he didn’t think his shutout was a big deal. Instead, he said it was more important to rack up points and practice for the postseason tournament.

“It’s just more trying to get to my stuff and continuing to put points up on the board,” Deakin said. “Just trying to improve and keep fine tuning things for March.” Deakin, who won first place at the 157-pound weight class at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Collegiate Invitational in Las Vegas in early December, has yet to lose a match since falling to top-ranked Jason Nolf against Penn State on Jan. 11. The Cats wrestle again on Friday at Michigan State and Sunday at Michigan. Deakin said the truncated practice week that comes with a dual on Friday means the team will have to rest and get back to the drawing board with haste. “(We’re) hitting some recovery early in the week hard, making sure we get good workouts in during the middle of the week and getting prepared for next week,” Deakin said. “Just kind of staying on track and getting all our homework done.” gregorysvirnovskiy2022@u.northwestern.edu
