Cats sneak past Badgers in upset

By MAX SCHUMAN

daily senior staffer @maxschuman28

MADISON, Wis. — On the road against one of the country’s top teams and mired in a disheartening two-game losing streak with leading scorer Scottie Lindsey on the bench, Northwestern clearly was the underdog in its trip to Madison.

If the Wildcats (19-6, 8-4 Big Ten) knew that, they didn’t play like it. Instead, they led for all but 36 seconds of the second half to hold off No. 7 Wisconsin (214, 10-2) 66-59, notching a huge road win in the team’s biggest victory of the season to date.

“A lot of teams could feel sorry for themselves when they have their leading scorer out with illness, and things look like they’re kind of falling apart,” junior guard Bryant McIntosh said. “It showed a lot of character from us.”

The Badgers figured to have an edge in the paint coming into the game, featuring forwards like Wooden Award finalist Ethan Happ and Big Ten preseason player of the year Nigel Hayes.

Happ scored 7 early points as Wisconsin sprinted out to a 14-6 lead less than seven minutes into the game.

The Cats clawed back, though, coming alive offensively with a 16-0 run from 7:56 to 4:09 in the first that featured a pair of 3-pointers apiece from

sophomore forward Vic Law and senior forward Nathan Taphorn.

A banked-in 3 from McIntosh late in the half capped off a solid shooting period for the visitors — a welcome sign after struggling in two straight defeats — and gave NU a 31-22 edge at halftime.

Everything was going according to plan for the Cats after the first half, but Wisconsin had other ideas on the opposite side of the break.

“We knew they were going to go on a run,” coach Chris Collins said. “They’re too good.”

With energy on defense and crisp ball movement on offense, the Badgers sprinted out on a 10-0 stretch from the start of the second half to grab the lead, a strong statement from the Big Ten’s top-ranked team that brought the home crowd back into the game.

NU gamely absorbed the blow and fought back. The Cats went on an 8-0 run punctuated with a putback dunk from sophomore center Dererk Pardon, turning the tide for good in NU’s favor.

As Wisconsin challenged for the lead, its advantage in the paint had largely evaporated. The Cats won the battle inside by doubling heavily in the post with Pardon and senior forward Sanjay Lumpkin, holding Happ and Hayes to a combined 22 points on 8-of-19 shooting from the floor.

Students march for SAE removal Hundreds protest on Sheridan after assault, drugging allegations

By CATHERINE KIM

the daily northwestern @ck_525

More than 300 students marched on Sheridan Road on Friday afternoon, starting from the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house and ending at its national headquarters, in

response to the University notifying students earlier this week about a recent report of multiple alleged sexual assaults and possible druggings at the fraternity house.

During the demonstration, called “Stand with Survivors: March Down Sheridan,” protesters presented a list of demands of the administration and SAE

national headquarters, including the removal of the SAE chapter at Northwestern. Protesters read aloud SAE’s official creed, titled “The True Gentleman,” as well as Northwestern’s definition of consent and an excerpt of Title IX. Several survivors also delivered speeches, recounting their own experiences coping with the trauma of sexual assault.

The event, planned over social media after a post by Weinberg junior Asha Sawhney called for a protest against SAE, follows a University announcement on Monday night informing students that it had received a report last week alleging four female students were given possible date » See PROTEST, page 7

U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) and local activists called on community members to stay united and keep “standing up for justice” during an event Sunday in Evanston.

More than 300 people packed the cafeteria at the Pope John XXIII School, 1120 Washington St., for a meeting to touch base with Chicago-area residents three weeks after President Donald Trump took office. Hosted by Open Communities –– a nonprofit organization that aims to promote inclusive housing in suburban Chicago –– the meeting addressed issues ranging from the president’s executive order on immigration to general concerns about the Trump administration.

“We are here because the new administration is doing things that seem to endorse and encourage attitudes of hate, bias and bigotry expressed through racism, xenophobia, sexism heterosexism and other sorts of oppression,” said the event’s emcee David Luna, executive director of Open Communities.

Illinois lawmakers introduced a bill on Wednesday that would expand the state’s protections for its immigrant population.

Bills introduced to the Illinois House would no longer require schools, medical facilities and places of worship to give access to federal immigration authorities or local law enforcement working on their behalf.

Another bill would lessen the obligation of local authorities to report activity to immigration officers.

The move comes after President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders on immigration, ranging from a proposed border wall with Mexico to a temporary halt on travel from citizens of seven Muslimmajority nations, which has been stayed by a federal court.

“After the November election, the Trump victory and his hateful, divisive rhetoric set off an immediate surge of fear across the country,” Rep. Lisa Hernandez (D-Cicero) said at a news conference Wednesday.

“It caused tragic and devastating actions in classrooms, businesses and public space against individuals already reeling from feelings of hopelessness and dread for their families.”

Rep. Chris Welch (D-Westchester) introduced a bill which would “establish protections for immigrants from immigration and customs enforcement, or agencies working with ICE,” Welch said at the news conference Wednesday.

This weekend, increased Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency raids were reported in major cities across the country, including sanctuary cities such as Chicago.

City develops loan program to replace lead pipes

By NORA SHELLY

daily senior staffer @noracshelly

City staff are working on a proposal to set up a loan program for homeowners to replace lead water pipes.

The program — which would have to be approved by City Council — would allow homeowners to borrow up to $4,800 at no interest from the city to replace lead pipes, Public Works director Dave Stoneback said. Homeowners would be eligible for the program if the city is replacing water mains on their street, Stoneback said. He also said the city currently puts a chemical in the water to protect it from the lead pipes. However, as lead water mains are replaced, tests have shown lead levels can rise if the pipes connecting homes to the main are not replaced as well.

“The lead levels can significantly rise,” Stoneback said. “This will give the homeowners an option of not having the situation occur.”

Stoneback said the average cost of replacing lead water pipes with copper is about $8,000 for the homeowner, depending on how far back the house sits from the street and where the water meter is located within. The loan would likely provide homeowners with up to $4,800 of the funding, which would be paid back over a four-year

Illinois senators secure federal funding for sexual assault prevention

U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) and Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) announced Thursday that over $1 million dollars in federal funding has been allocated to the Illinois Department of Public Health to support sexual assault prevention efforts.

The money will go toward rape prevention

period.

The charges for the program would be $200 every two months, and appear on the resident’s water bill, Stoneback said.

City manager Wally Bobkiewicz said that while final details were still being worked out, funding for the program would likely come from the city’s water fund. The pipe replacement would likely be paid for with payments from past loans, he said.

This comes as the city pursues a lawsuit against ComEd and Nicor — descendants of a company that owned the plant — over contaminants found in and around water mains in southwest Evanston that can be traced back to a manufacturing plant owned by the companies’ predecessors.

Stoneback discussed the program at a city meeting last week concerning water quality concerns in southwest Evanston near James Park, but said the program was largely unrelated to that meeting. Stoneback said the proposed program is unrelated to that issue.

Ald. Judy Fiske (1st) said she supports the proposed program. The city has a “responsibility” to ensure residents feel safe drinking their water, Fiske said.

“I just feel that it is really critically important for us to be able to ensure that whatever water is coming into anybody’s house that they (know) it’s absolutely safe that it is healthy for them,” she said.

Fiske said she replaced lead water pipes in both her homes in Evanston for copper pipes as a “proactive” step to ensure her family’s water was safe.

“If people want to replace them we should be able to support them,” she said. “It’s not

and education programs, counseling services, 24-hour crisis hotlines and criminal justice assistance, according to a news release.

“Funding education and building awareness in our schools and communities will help prevent sexual assault in Illinois,” Durbin said in the statement. “We must do everything within our power to protect women and men from sexual violence and these federal investments will help do just that.”

Th e funding comes from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Rape Prevention and Education Program. According to

information on the CDC website, the program was created with the passage of the Violence Against Women Act in 1994. Th e program “seeks to develop and strengthen sexual violence prevention efforts at the local, state, and national level.”

Duckworth said working to prevent sexual assault is a “daunting” challenge.

“I am pleased Illinois will be receiving critical CDC support to strengthen prevention and education initiatives,” she said.

ON CAMPUS ASA show celebrates dance, fashion

By JAKE HOLLAND

the daily northwestern @jakeholland97

Models and dancers celebrated African culture through music, dance and vibrant fashion pieces at the African Student Association’s annual culture show Sunday.

Two Swahili choirs opened the annual Jabulani Culture Show at Norris University Center. Other performers included Northwestern dance team Afro Thunder and Chicago-based dance companies Khalida’s North African Dance Experience and Ayodele Drum and Dance.

ASA’s community engagement chair Diane Arthur, who organized the event, said the group organized the Jabulani Culture Show to give NU students of all backgrounds an opportunity to engage with African culture.

“We’re one of the only voices for Africa as a student group on campus, so it’s important that people are able to see different ways that African cultures celebrate,” the SESP senior said. “This is really the only time when students can see what African celebrations look like.”

Arthur added that the event gave people who are not usually exposed to African traditions and cultures an opportunity to learn more, while also giving African students an opportunity to put their countries’ cultures at center stage.

Weinberg freshman Danielle Chamberlain, who attended the event, said having a space for cultural celebration allows people to “feel comfortable and express themselves.” She said just watching the performances made her feel more confident in her own skin.

The models at the event wore handmade pieces designed by Chicago-based stylist Jennifer Akese Burney, who said partnering with ASA was a way for her give “agency” to African students and their stories.

“My clothing is about an African

commentary and actually telling people our story,” Burney said. “Our story is lined up with our fabrics, our clothing, our way and style of living.”

Burney, who also partnered with ASA two years ago, said the fashion show in particular helped dismantle the notion of African homogeneity.

“It’s a great teaching tool to help educate people,” she said. “There’s this knowledge or mentality that Africans are one sort of way, so this is a great window to show people who actual Africans are and what they represent.”

Model and Afro Th under dancer Ekene Nwosisi said participating allowed her to express her love of fashion and connect with her Nigerian roots. The Weinberg freshman added that the event had a largely “unifying” atmosphere.

“It’s so important that people feel free and they don’t feel not judged, and it’s not like people of other cultures can’t come,” Nwosisi said. “It’s beautiful to see different people appreciating African cultures.” jacobholland2020@u.northwestern.edu

Deepen discussion of black history beyond this month TROY CLOSSON

DAILY COLUMNIST

For my fifth grade American history class, I wrote a report on Rosa Parks.

In honor of Black History Month, my teacher had us research a prominent figure of the U.S. Civil Rights Movement and compose a short essay about their significance. It didn’t take long to determine who I’d write on. “People are already familiar with Martin Luther King Jr.,” I thought.

“Everyone’s going to be writing about him.” So instead, I naively selected Rosa Parks, thinking her a relatively unknown figure. My 10-year-old self wasn’t aware that countless black history leaders existed beyond my limited knowledge. I couldn’t grasp that despite our discussion ending after we submitted our assignments, there was so much more to discover. I didn’t recognize that despite successes, many glass ceilings still remained unshattered.

But now, I do.

As the midpoint of Black History Month approaches, it’s essential to examine how we approach discussing black history within the bounds of Northwestern’s campus and throughout this country. My elementary school mindset

remains all too characteristic of the blanket approach taken by many educational institutions when it comes to black history awareness.

Black history didn’t instantly begin once the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, nor did it end with the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. As “13th,” the critically acclaimed documentary by Ava DuVernay explains, history matters, as current problems of mass incarceration and imprisonment are rooted in past developments. Under a presidential administration that has been characterized by negativity and animosity toward different racial and ethnic groups, it’s imperative that students expand our understanding of black history beyond a few prominent names and observe how racial discrimination in the past influences the present.

As February began, President Trump issued remarks at a White House-sponsored Black History Month “Listening Session.” In his speech, Trump acknowledged the contributions of Martin Luther King Jr., Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman and Rosa Parks within the black community. News organizations promptly drew attention to Trump’s description of Frederick Douglass as “an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more,” demonstrating uncertainty as to whether he realized Douglass’ death was over 100

years ago. More troubling than Trump’s potential misunderstanding, however, was the brevity of his statements on black history as a whole. In between a transient remembrance of some of the most well-known civil rights activists, Trump used his speech to advance his crusade against the media, claiming that “so much of the media is opposition party and knowingly saying incorrect things,” and attacking an erroneous tweet that claimed he removed a sculpture of Martin Luther King Jr. from the Oval Office. By the end of his address, Trump had shifted the session’s focal point from a celebration of black history to himself and his personal grievances.

This behavior isn’t distinct to Trump. In the American education system, black history consistently seems to be a subject of widespread indifference. While teachers regularly highlight the American Revolution and New Deal for 11 months of the year, black history often feels like an afterthought or something obligatorily tacked onto the end of a lesson. When we do discuss black history, it often seems to be in a manner similar to Vice President Mike Pence’s Black History Month recognition tweet, which praised the 13th amendment as if the end of slavery represented a sweeping solution to problems facing the black community.

If I went back in time to fifth grade, I wouldn’t

only write about the fervent bravery of Rosa Parks. I’d also discuss Carter G. Woodson’s commitment to promoting and founding “Negro History Month” which led to Black History Month itself. I’d explore the scientific achievements of Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson, the three mathematicians depicted in the Academy Award-nominated film, Hidden Figures, whose work was vital to the success NASA’s space program. I’d study the contributions of one of the many unsung pioneers of black history whose ongoing influence continues to strengthen this country. Black history isn’t disconnected from the present; it’s a fundamental aspect of American history. From slavery to Jim Crow, from the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter, black history continues to be shaped today. Regardless of the time of year, and long after February ends, U.S. history will forever be incomplete without understanding black history.

For 2020 success, Democrats must have broader ideology JOSE TREJOS

DAILY COLUMNIST

Donald Trump’s unexpected victory in the 2016 presidential election seems to have galvanized the American left. Many observers saw the rise of politicians such as Trump as proof that the Democratic Party has lost touch with ordinary voters and the white working class, a theory seemingly confirmed by the Republicans taking not only the White House, but also retaining control of Congress and securing a record number of state legislative seats this fall. Such a shattering defeat should inspire the Democratic Party to do some introspection into its message, moderate its more alienating edges and try to regain the discouraged voters that abandoned the party since Obama’s campaigns.

Instead, the Democratic Party is increasingly giving ground to its most extreme elements.

Democrats have decided to blindly fight almost everything Trump does regardless of its merit.

Radical figures like Elizabeth Warren and Keith Ellison are becoming the new face of the party.

Even months after the election, prominent Democrats continue to blame Trump’s election on largely unsubstantiated claims of Russian hacking and question his legitimacy. Ultimately, this indulgent approach is likely going to be what loses the 2020 presidential election for the Democrats.

Many Democrats suggest that radicalization may be the way to win the White House, either by continuing to insist that someone like Bernie Sanders could have won the election or believing that Trump will become toxic enough to make all resistance to him popular. Sanders lost the primary to the historically-unpopular Hillary Clinton precisely because even left-leaning Democratic primary voters were hesitant about his socialist ideas. Despite his general unpopularity, over 50 percent of Americans approve of Trump’s recent executive orders regarding the Muslim ban and reducing government regulation, according to a POLITICO and Morning Consult poll. If this continues to be true, waiting for Trump to implode may prove an unsuccessful strategy for the Democrats.

The Democratic Party today is very similar to

the left-wing Labour Party in England when it fell under the control of Jeremy Corbyn in 2015, its most radical leader in modern history. His takeover was cheered by socialists throughout the country for the opportunity to pursue their ideals unapologetically, yet almost immediately after he took office, British politics took a massive swerve to the right. Corbyn today has a staggeringly low approval rating and his unpopularity is likely to blame for the passage of Brexit. In fact, some observers worry that the UK has all but become a one-party state due to how irrelevant the left wing has become. The interesting result, of which American liberals should take note, is that Labour choosing a historically far-left leadership and message pushed the country massively to the right.

Britain’s story demonstrates the simple truth that democracies need more than one functional party to govern successfully. Prime Minister Theresa May, the leader of the right-wing Tories, has pursued radical policies like a hard Brexit because she fears her party’s extremists a lot more than she fears the now-irrelevant left-wing. Should the Democratic Party make the same mistakes as Labour, they may also become a trivial force in American politics. As Trump continues to

corrupt conservatism into populism, I hope that Democrats do not become weak enough to let Trump pursue his most irresponsible ideas. The most effective policies are usually centrist policies, which makes me concerned about a future where a ruling party must worry only about pleasing their partisan base.

Democrats need to change their current path or they may lose even more moderate voters over the next four years. This is a hard pill for Democrats to swallow because it means that they cannot pursue policies exactly how they want. It is a lot easier to continue to say that Trump’s victory is somehow illegitimate and convince themselves the country is as outraged about him as they are. If Democratic activists want to truly stop Donald Trump from governing until 2024, they must learn how to appeal to a broader class of voter.

Commissioners respond to Trump’s Chicago tweet

By SAM KREVLIN

daily senior staffer @samkrevlin

The Cook County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution Wednesday requesting funds from the federal government to combat violence and social issues in Chicago.

The resolution comes in response to statements from President Donald Trump suggesting he will “send in the feds” to Chicago to end gun violence. In January both Mayor Rahm Emanuel and police superintendent Eddie Johnson responded to Trump’s tweets. Johnson said he is willing to work with the federal government to “boost federal prosecution rates for gun crimes in Chicago.”

Emanuel echoed his sentiments but said National Guard assistance would not be welcomed.

However, commissioners clashed on the wording of the resolution, resulting in Trump’s name being removed from original legislation and being replaced by “the federal government.”

The original resolution, co-sponsored by commissioners Richard R. Boykin, Timothy Schneider and others at the Jan. 18 board meeting, served “as a formal request to President-elect Donald Trump to provide additional resources to fight the violence plaguing Chicago.”

Cook County Commissioner Larry Suffredin said he felt the original resolution was calling for “martial law” in Chicago in a continuation of

U.S. President Donald Trump welcomes Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at the White House on Feb. 10, 2017 in Washington, D.C. The Cook County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution this week asking the federal government for help in violence reduction efforts in Chicago.

Trump’s divisive rhetoric. Suffredin altered the language in the resolution from naming Trump to the federal government, and added information about Cook County’s dependence on the federal government for health care services and

job training programs.

“Many folks wanted Trump to be the focus (of the resolution) and my position was this is not a monarchy,” Suffredin said. “We don’t talk to the president that way. We talk to the federal

government that we already have programs with and we need them to be continued.”

Suffredin’s revisions also included requests that the government preserve and expand the Affordable Care Act and provide additional funds for Cook County hospital.

Boykin called Suffredin’s revision “insulting” and said he is playing political games with a “21st century genocide” occurring in Chicago. Boykin said he has been encouraged by the president’s willingness to help violence in the city and said politicians have shown throughout the past two years their inability to fix the problem.

Boykin said that while Suffredin’s bill did mention gun violence in Chicago, it wasn’t the sole purpose of the resolution like the one Boykin cosponsored. Boykin said his bill was narrow as it related to the crime and violence that is taking place in certain communities.

Boykin’s original resolution was direct, he said, because it was specifically addressed to Trump and focused solely on violence in Cook County.

He said the problem with the revised resolution is that there is no destination for the resolution within the federal government.

“I asked them, where did you guys send that resolution to?” Boykin said. “The federal government is a big monstrosity. It is a big entity. I guarantee you where they sent it to. They sent it to the garbage can.” samkrevlin2019@u.northwestern.edu

Students greet immigrants with singing

By YVONNE KIM

daily senior staffer @yvonneekimm

CCHS

When theater Prof. Cindy Gold suggested the idea of sending a message of welcome to a new immigrant family in the North Shore, her students were more than willing, she said.

Gold said an acquaintance of hers from Am Shalom Synagogue in Glencoe first reached out to her to do something for a family upon their arrival to the United States. Her junior-level Shakespeare acting class chose to send the family a video of them singing a song of welcome, Gold said.

Communication junior Phoebe Fox, one of Gold’s students, said the project was focused on welcoming them “to their new home.” The class decided that the best way to convey their message was by performing a rendition of “Home” by Phillip Phillips.

“A lot of us are attuned to having conversations about the way our work as artists is impacting our world and is influenced by … the world,” Fox said.

“So that was a way for that to actually be executed and move outside of the classroom.”

The students in the class are part of an acting sequence for theater majors that lasts two years.

Especially since they are constantly interacting with the same people for such long periods of time, she said it is particularly important to stay aware of “the world outside.”

For Mary Kate Goss, another of Gold’s students, it was a way for her and her peers as actors to send a message that mattered to them.

“How can we best as artists further a narrative of empathy and one that we’d be proud to see?” the Communication junior said. “I think it fit pretty seamlessly into the work that we’ve been doing and the discussions that we’ve had.”

The class needed to do something that would allow the family to maintain its anonymity, Gold said. She added that the video of students singing was an idea that would be appealing to both children and adults.

Because Northwestern’s undergraduate theater program is not a conservatory, they “use theater as a humanity,” Gold said. She said it is important to look beyond a technical education and build students who are good people.

“It’s exciting to have kids that are interested and passionate about more than what’s on Broadway,” Gold said. “Good actors are made from good people. … You want to work with people who are more than just theater-trained.”

Gold said though it can often be difficult for artists to be assertive, she sees this generation of students as one that knows how to voice opinions without fear of asserting themselves. She described her class as a group of “extraordinary” students who are constantly energized by the nation’s political climate.

“The ones that want to be artists have to learn how to use their art to make things better in the world. And that’s essentially what we did that day, ” she said. “We helped people using the tool that we had. … It’s a tiny little drop in the bucket, but it got the class interested.” yvonnekim2019@u.northwestern.edu

PROTEST From page 1

rape drugs at Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity on Jan. 21. The report alleges that two of the students believe they were also sexually assaulted, according to an email to students from the University’s Chief of Police Bruce Lewis.

Lewis said that on Feb. 3, the University also received an anonymous report alleging that another female student was sexually assaulted, potentially with the use of a date rape drug, after attending an event at a second, unnamed fraternity house the previous night.

The Sexual Harassment Prevention Office is investigating the reports, according to the email.

Interfraternity Council executive board and chapter presidents decided Tuesday to suspend social events indefinitely, excluding those that already had contracts signed. Associated Student Government also released a statement calling for the suspension of SAE. Protesters demanded on Friday that the University increase funding for the Center of Awareness, Response and Education, reinstate counseling services at the Women’s Center and reexamine policies so they ensure safety and accountability for students.

Amanda Odasz, outreach chair of Sexual Health and Assault Peer Educators, said the march was about supporting survivors, holding perpetrators accountable and recognizing that the alleged assaults are not “isolated incidents.”

“They’re happening within a broader culture of sexual violence, and we are calling for greater accountability of IFC fraternities as well greater accountability on our campus as a whole,” said the

Communication senior, who helped organize the demonstration.

On Friday, SHAPE and Men Against Rape and Sexual Assault released a joint statement condemning the alleged assault and druggings, urging IFC chapters “to engage in critical self-reflection to examine the ways in which they promote or hinder the safety of guests.” The statement also urged the University to “revisit” the removal of counseling services from the Women’s Center, which was effective Winter Quarter.

In a statement released Tuesday, an SAE national organization spokesman said staff at the headquarters were working with the University and chapter leaders on the investigation, and had launched their own investigation into the incident. Manos Proussaloglou, Northwestern’s SAE president, said in the

statement that the chapter was “appalled and deeply concerned” about the reports.

Communication sophomore Lindsey Weiss, who said they are a survivor of sexual assault, spoke to the crowd at the demonstration about the trauma that every survivor has to live with. Weiss thanked the community for showing support for survivors and expressed hope for creating social change following these reports.

“I feel in spite of everything that has happened and that continues to happen, that I’ve won,” Weiss said. “That in continuing my life and in continuing to strive and to do good work and be present in all of my communities, I have overcome what is happening to me. I have won.” catherinekim2020@u.northwestern.edu

BASKETBALL From page 1

the Badgers shot just 38 percent from the field and turned the ball over 12 times on the night.

“We knew they had good bigs,” Pardon said.

“The scheme we had, we ran at them a lot, and we executed the scheme.”

Meanwhile, NU outscored the hosts 26-12 in the paint and took care of the ball, ending the game with only six turnovers. With role players stepping up inside and outside, the stage was set for McIntosh to take over, and he delivered 25 points to keep the Cats on track.

NU held a 56-49 lead coming out of the final media timeout of the second half, an uncomfortable position for a team that’s had issues closing out big games this season. But there were no signs of trouble late, as the Cats hit free throws and never let Wisconsin within 4 points of the lead.

Instead, when Lumpkin slammed home a runout dunk with four seconds on the clock for NU’s final points, the Cats wrapped up a deserved win and sent a message that could reverberate until March.

“We’ve been in this moment before … we’re a lot more confident,” Law said. “Coming down the stretch, we knew what plays we had to make.” maxschuman2018@u.northwestern.edu

COMMUNITY Colin Boyle/Daily Senior Staffer

More than 300 gathered for a demonstration Friday calling for Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s removal from campus.

The protest started at the fraternity house on North Campus and ended outside SAE national headquarters.

COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is an introduction to writing a one-act play. At the heart of it is an exploration of elements of drama, including scene, voice, language, and dramatic structure. An underlying idea is that drama is in some ways a "game" in that what happens on stage exists in a realm of persuasive imagining and enactment. And what are the "games" of interpretation that are enacted within drama--between and among characters, and between the performed play and its audience? Isn't theatre in part a game of interpretations involving the intimate (that is, the playwright's own investment of ideas, experience and feeling), the interpersonal (the relations between and among characters on stage) and the public (the audience's experience and its engagement with persons, feelings, and ideas)? Readings will include Withdrawal by Mohamed El Attar (Syria), Egyptian Products by Laila Soliman (Egypt), Clandestinopolis by Mustapha Benfodil (Algeria), and several works from Europe and/or the Americas.

Relations, Chicago Area Peace Action, Jewish Voice for Peace, the YWCA Evanston/North Shore and the Evanston/North Shore NAACP. Speakers addressed topics ranging from their personal beliefs about the treatment of marginalized groups to what policies or national issues they opposed and how people can take action against what they don’t believe in.

Bringing community organizations and people together through dialogue was one of the event’s main objectives, said Laura Kochevar, manager of communications and development for Open Communities.

“There’s a lot of strength within the community itself,” Kochevar said. “One of the positives of this time in our country is that neighbors are talking to one another and we want to really encourage that.”

The meeting was designed to be an interactive experience as opposed to just a series of speeches, Kochevar said. During the two-hour event, audience members split into small groups multiple times to discuss their views.

Chicago resident Hilary Marsh, who attended the event, said she enjoyed participating in the small group discussions and felt inspired to continue fighting.

“I’m already doing as much as I have time and energy to do,” said the 58-year-old, who gave away homemade knit pink pussyhats, a feminist symbol which arose with the Women’s March, to meeting attendees. “My takeaway is don’t give up (and) don’t stop. It’s not necessarily to do something new, but it’s to not feel that my efforts are in vain.” allysonchi2018@u.northwestern.edu

DEMOCRATS From page 1

“comprehensive immigration reform.”

The bill would prevent employees in schools and universities from asking about a student’s immigration status or that of their family members.

The bill would also require the Department of Human Services to help provide training in the affected places on how to deal with immigration issues and how to notify families of those issues in multiple languages.

“The goal of this legislation is simple: it is to protect people’s rights from invasive actions by government,” Welch told The Daily. “All of us must stand with those who feel like government is not fighting for them.”

Welch and two of his bill’s co-sponsors, Hernandez, and Rep. Theresa Mah (D-Chicago), as well as Mony Ruiz-Velasco, the executive director of PASO, a suburban Chicago immigrant organizing group, spoke at the news conference in support of the bill.

“It is our obligation here in Illinois to do what we can to stabilize the economy, provide safe spaces for immigrants so that we can continue to be a strong state and … fight against the possibility of families being ripped apart,” Mah said at the conference.

Welch told The Daily that the Immigration Safe Zones Act would not fall under so-called “sanctuary status.” It still allows law enforcement and immigration officials to, when carrying a verified warrant, ask for the immigration status of people in the proposed “safe zones.” Thus, Welch said, the bill complies with all federal laws.

“We want our children to feel safe at school, people to access lifesaving and necessary medical service, and we want people to feel safe when they’re attending religious services with their families,” Ruiz-Velasco said at the news conference. kristinakarisch2020@u.northwestern.edu

NO. 7 WISCONSIN

STATEMENT WIN

Resume-building win gets NU closer to first Big Dance

By BEN POPE

daily senior staffer @benpope111

MADISON, Wis. — For the first time in two years, Northwestern is finally unpredictable.

And on Sunday, the program earned its biggest surprise win in that time period.

Last season, the Wildcats boasted an almost impeccable 18-3 record against teams ranked below them in Kenpom’s Division I rankings, but a woeful 2-8 mark against teams ranked ahead of them.

This year had followed a similar pattern until recently. Entering this week, NU had beaten only one of ESPN’s projected at-large tournament teams— Dayton — after blowing opportunities to upset Butler and Notre Dame and watching Texas, a top-25 team entering its loss to the Cats, devolve into one of the Big 12’s worst squads.

The trend finally ended in an embarrassing way with Tuesday’s

loss to Illinois. But Sunday’s victory over No. 7 Wisconsin (21-4, 10-2 Big Ten) more than counteracts the negative consequences of Tuesday’s letdown.

The Cats (19-6, 8-4) at last have a signature win to headline their tournament resume, ending an unsightly 16-game losing streak to top-10 teams and simultaneously snapping Wisconsin’s 19-game home winning streak.

“We’re trying to build a program to emulate what Wisconsin has done … with the right guys who want to believe in something bigger than themselves,” coach Chris Collins said. “When you get a chance to play against those teams firsthand, you learn from it, and then you have success. I want these guys to feel good about it. It was a great win for us.”

Few other programs nationwide can claim a victory as impressive as the one NU earned in Madison.

The current top 10 teams in the AP poll have a combined 224-32 record this season and just 12 total losses against currently unranked teams — a small club the Cats just

joined.

In terms of bracketology, NU had fallen to a No. 8 seed in ESPN’s Friday projection and looked likely to continue that downward momentum with upcoming matchups against the Badgers and No. 21 Maryland.

Sunday’s unexpected result re-solidifies the Cats’ position in the middle area of the bracket, however, and completely flips the outlook entering Wednesday’s meeting with the Terrapins. The meeting now represents another prime opportunity to secure a noteworthy win and prove the Wisconsin upset wasn’t a fluke.

But make no mistake — even with a loss to Maryland, NU is in fine shape. It boasts an excellent win-loss record, a No. 30 mark in the Kenpom rankings and, suddenly, a premier victory to flaunt to the selection committee.

After Sunday’s win, the Cats are scarily close to securing their first NCAA tournament berth ever. benjaminpope2019@u.northwestern.edu

McIntosh stars in stunning win Cats wilt offensively

By GARRETT JOCHNAU

daily senior staffer @garrettjochnau

MADISON, Wis. — On a twogame losing skid, with junior guard Scottie Lindsey still sidelined with an illness, Northwestern needed a hero against No. 7 Wisconsin.

Cue Bryant McIntosh.

The junior guard shrugged off a slow start to tally 25 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, pulling the Wildcats out of an early slog and steadying NU (19-6, 8-4 Big Ten) in crunch time to guarantee what might be the biggest win in program history — a 66-59 road victory over the Badgers (21-4, 10-2).

“I put in a lot of work, so when things aren’t going well at the beginning … I still have confidence in my

game,” McIntosh said. “Things just happen in a game, that’s part of it.

Some shots don’t fall, sometimes you get lucky and you hit a glass 3 at the end of the first half.”

That final shot — a bank from the perimeter that lifted the Cats ahead by 9 before the intermission — seemingly erased McIntosh’s inefficient 2-of-6 start, during which NU managed just 6 points and no assists in 10 minutes.

By the time McIntosh’s attempt kissed off the backboard, the captain was in full form, with 11 first-half points and a pair of assists as he piloted the Cats’ crucial surge.

“Bryant had it really going on today,” sophomore forward Vic Law said. “I struggled a little bit with my shot today, and Bryant really picked it up for all of us. Not only his offense, but his defense was fantastic.”

Bryant McIntosh dribbles the ball up the court. The junior guard led the Wildcats with 25 points in their upset of No. 7 Wisconsin.

mark, freshman guard Isiah Brown’s return to the bench and Lindsey’s continued absence left McIntosh as the only trustworthy shot-creator against Wisconsin’s three-headed offensive monster of Nigel Hayes, Ethan Happ and Bronson Koenig.

But McIntosh singlehandedly outscored the lot — the trio managed just 24 combined points — leaning on volume shooting and confidence to steal the upset win on the road.

“They were putting a lot of attention on Bryant,” coach Chris Collins said. “He’s my hero for shooting the ball 23 times.”

In many ways, McIntosh’s performance mirrored his output in Tuesday’s loss to Illinois.

In the defeat, the guard’s 0-for-8 clip out of the gate set the tone for NU’s uninspired night on the offensive end, though his second-half rhythm breathed new life into the team. Still, McIntosh committed four turnovers down the stretch as the Cats watched the unimpressive Fighting Illini briefly throw a wrench in their tournament hopes.

The opening two acts of Sunday’s contest followed the same narrative, but with NU on top in the homestretch, McIntosh delivered the daggers — scoring or assisting on all but one of the Cats’ scores in the final 10 minutes and sealing the win with two pairs of free throws.

Collins said it was his junior captain who kept NU focused following two debilitating losses. And against Wisconsin, it was McIntosh who carried the team on his shoulders to secure a signature win amid a historic campaign.

“We just didn’t feel sorry for ourselves,” McIntosh said. “We talked a lot through our group message and in the locker room, it’s time to shut the water off. It’s time to stop the bleeding.”

Following his lead, the Cats did just that. jochnau@u.northwestern.edu

in second straight loss Northwestern

By MAX GELMAN

daily senior staffer @maxgelman

With an opportunity to earn a resume-boosting win and separate itself from the middle of the Big Ten on Saturday, Northwestern fell flat.

The Wildcats (17-7, 6-5 Big Ten) came up short against Indiana (17-8, 7-5) 66-38 in part due to a stellar performance from Hoosiers guard Tyra Buss.

The loss dropped NU from fourth place in the conference, which would ensure a double-bye in the Big Ten Tournament following the regular season, into a smorgasbord of teams hovering around .500 fighting for a top spot.

Entering Saturday, one game separated fourth through ninth place in the Big Ten, with the Cats ahead of the pack.

Offense came at a premium Saturday, as neither team shot particularly well.

Buss was the only one from either team consistently making plays, as she led all scorers with 19 points.

Things started off slowly for both teams, as the Hoosiers led just 26-17 at halftime despite shooting just 30 percent from the field. NU’s 17 first-half points and 38 points overall both represented season-lows.

Indiana got off to a hot start in the second half, scoring another 24 points in the third quarter alone. NU continued to struggle, netting 11 points in the frame.

The Cats’ woes could be traced to the injury suffered by senior guard Christen Inman in NU’s last game against Indiana on Jan. 14. Inman appeared to injure her knee in the game’s final minutes after an opponent fell on her leg, and hasn’t started in any of the following six games, playing just a combined 65 minutes.

Senior forward Nia Coffey’s monthlong cold streak persisted, as she led the Cats with just 9 points while going 3-for-13 from the field. Normally NU’s most consistent player, Coffey has averaged 13.6 points per game over the last

six matchups — still solid but well below her season average of 19.0.

Additionally, senior guard Ashley Deary couldn’t get much going either.

The Texas native tallied just 4 points in Saturday’s loss.

The Cats now will head to Minnesota on Monday for their second game of their three-game road trip. Monday’s game is a make-up after their matchup was postponed in early January. maxgelman2018@u.northwestern.edu
