GOODBYE, GREAT ROOM Due to construction, the Great Room will be closed as a dining option and reopened as a catering location. Other nuCuisine changes include adjusted hours at Allison and 1835 Hinman.

New hours for nuCuisine Hinman closes Friday, Allison open all week By amy whyte

daily senior staffer @amykwhyte

As of this academic year, students will no longer be able to indulge in Sunday night hot cookie bar at 1835 Hinman. The dining hall, which in previous years has stayed open on weekends, will now close after dinner Friday to reopen on Monday, nuCuisine marketing manager Jason Sophian announced last week. Instead, Allison Hall’s dining area, formerly open only on weekdays, will now be an option seven days a week. In addition, the Great Room will no longer be a dining option due to construction at Seabury-Western Theological Seminary. The space

formerly occupied by the dining hall will now be used as a catering location, Sophian said. “I’m really upset. I really liked the Great Room,” Weinberg sophomore Helen Foster said. “They had really good food, and it was cheap, and it was a good place to study. There’s no other place like it on North Campus.” Whether or not the Great Room will be restored as a dining option after construction is completed remains to be decided, Sophian said. “We’re not completely against bringing it back,” Sophian said. “At the same time, we’re really excited to have it as a catering space. If you’ve seen the Great Room, you know what a great space it is.” Although the Great Room closing was prompted by construction,

Sophian said the decision to switch weekend dining on South Campus from Hinman to Allison was based primarily on student feedback. “That was something we really heard a lot from students last year,” Sophian said. “They really wanted Allison open seven days a week.” Medill sophomore Ben Sanders, who is living in Allison for a second year, said the weekend hours are a big improvement. “Now I can stay in my pajamas and walk downstairs to breakfast instead of going all the way to Hinman,” Sanders said. In addition to the changed hours, Sophian said the food selection at every dining hall will be different from previous years, with more » See nucuisine, page 14

Man convicted in 2011 attack By PATRICK SVITEK

daily senior staffer @PatrickSvitek

A Hazel Crest, Ill., man was convicted Thursday of killing an Evanston man two years ago near the Chicago border. A Cook County jury found Brandon Hinton, 28, guilty of first-degree murder for attacking and robbing John Costulas, 61, as he walked to work in the early morning hours of Sept. 2, 2011, in the 500 block of Howard Street. Hinton struck Costulas in the head before taking $10 from the hearing-impaired man and leaving him bleeding and unconscious, according to police. The incident left Costulas in a coma, and he died eight days later, police said. An anonymous tip led detectives to Hinton on Sept. 12, 2011. The Cook County medical

Ann Rainey urging her constituents to attend Hinton’s trial over the past two years. On Thursday afternoon, Rainey called the verdict “closure for

Michele Hays, chair of Brummel Park Neighbors, said the south Evanston neighborhood turned out for every court date in Costulas’ memory. “I hope this is the last case that neighbors need to watch, and the very last violent crime committed in Brummel Park and Southeast Evanston/Northeast Rogers Park,” she wrote in an email to The Daily on Thursday evening. Hinton faces 20 to 60 years in prison. His sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 22. Hinton’s attorney could not be reached for comment Thursday afternoon. patricksvitek2014@u.northwestern.edu

Northwestern has suspended its Egypt study abroad programs in Cairo and Alexandria due to the increase in political unrest this summer. NU’s study abroad office made the call in mid-July after the death of an American student in Alexandria and violence surrounding the July 3 ousting of President Mohamed Morsi, said Julie Friend, NU associate director for international safety and security. The decision affects two NU students who had plans to study in Egypt during Fall Quarter. One would have attended The American University in Cairo, and the other was enrolled in a Middlebury College program at Alexandria University. Both students are now spending the quarter in Amman, Jordan. Friend said the office observed the situation in Egypt for 10 days before suspending the programs. In the past, disturbances in the country have been resolved quickly, Friend said, but the outbursts of random violence and breakdown of Egyptian civil society indicated this conflict would not end soon. “The idea of being in a study abroad program is being able to go out and interact with the community and engage with the society,” Friend said. “If the security circumstances don’t allow students to do that safely, then it doesn’t seem reasonable to keep them there.” The Middle East is not a popular location for NU students compared to programs in Europe, Friend said. Nine students are currently studying in the region — five in Jordan, three in Israel and one in Turkey, Friend said. The Study Abroad Office is not currently accepting applications for future

City teen charged in Preister slaying

An Evanston teen has been charged with killing 21-year-old Cardereon Preister, police said Thursday. Matthew Dubose, 18, is accused of fatally shooting Preister shortly after 11 p.m. Sept. 10 outside Preister’s home in the 1700 block of Leland Avenue. The incident happened about two blocks west of Evanston Township High School, 1600 Dodge Ave. The North Regional Major Crime Task Force responded. Police said Preister was shot once in the upper torso from behind. He was pronounced dead a half hour later, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. Dubose, of the 1800 block of Hovland Court, tried to trade drugs and money for Preister’s gun earlier this summer, police said. “The exchange went awry between the two, which in turn lead to the murder of Preister several weeks later,” Cmdr. Jay Parrott said in a news release. Preister was scheduled to be released from parole for burglary and drug charges in November. Preister, a one time ETHS student, was involved in the city’s Youth &

Egypt programs. The country will likely be suspended until the State Department Travel Warning has been lifted. The Study Abroad Office will then conduct its own review and make a recommendation to the provost. Friend said if the warning were to be lifted by next summer, the earliest the program could resume would be the following Winter Quarter, as it would be too late to submit applications for Fall Quarter 2014. “My prediction is that it’s going to be a long time,” Friend said. “Egypt is an important If the security place to be circumstances a student.

The Keg of Evanston, which closed earlier this year after a long legal battle with the city, will be replaced with what a developer calls a “dignified� restaurant. The new establishment is expected to be at least partially open by spring, said Evan Oliff, president of Preferred Development, a Chicagobased real estate consulting group leading the development of The Keg’s former home, 810 Grove St. However, the potential tenant insists on remaining anonymous until plans are finalized. “All I can tell you is it’s going to be awesome,� Oliff said. “The building is just about demoed, cleaned up (and) hand-blasted. It’s going to be gorgeous space. It will be a very dignified place, a very unique place and not a national chain.� Oliff said he met with Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl to discuss the project earlier this week, but Dick Peach, president of the Evanston Chamber of Commerce, said Wednesday that no official paperwork or licenses for the property have been processed yet. “At this point, I talked to everybody I could have at the city economic development department, and nobody knows anything that’s going

Chabad looks to attract freshmen after disaffiliation By CAT ZAKRZEWSKI

daily senior staffer @Cat_Zakrzewski

As they do every Wildcat Welcome, students gathered Wednesday night at the Tannenbaum Chabad House for the Jewish organization’s annual Chinese dinner and student performances. But this year, freshmen were notably missing. Northwestern officially disaffiliated from Chabad House on Sept. 11, 2012, following allegations that leader Rabbi Dov Hillel Klein served alcohol to students at weekly Shabbat dinners. Lubavitch Chabad of Illinois responded by suing the University on grounds of religious discrimination. Initially, community support for the rabbi resulted in increased attendance at campus events. But a year later, just 20 students came to the dinner that Klein said, in past years, was standing room only. Only one freshman attended the event, which was intended to introduce new students to the organization. “There are more of you here than us,” Klein joked as he offered leftover food to the student performance groups who came to the house. Some students said Wildcat Welcome programming may have interfered with freshman attendance at the Chabad House event. “I texted a couple freshmen, and they all said they had a mandatory PA dinner,” Weinberg junior Ethan Ritz said. Although students at Chabad House said

they do not think the disaffiliation affected their recruitment efforts and didn’t even know if freshmen were aware of it, it has limited some of the tactics Klein formerly used. For example, Klein said in past years he stood at The Arch on move-in day, greeting new students and their parents as they arrived. Per the terms of the disaffiliation, Klein is no longer allowed on campus. He also attended the Associated Student Government student activities fair, but the group has no plans for a booth this year. Klein said that two years ago, he even received a list from the University of incoming students who self-identified as Jewish on the Common Application. However, Klein said Chabad House has added about 250 names of new students to its email list. Rabbis from other Chabad Houses across the country continue to send him the names of Jewish students they know are coming to NU, and he still fields about the same number of phone calls from parents of incoming students. He said none of them have mentioned the disaffiliation. “I’m not sure they even knew,” he said. As the January court date for the case nears, Klein said he continues to be open to reaching an agreement with the University that could bring Chabad House back to campus. He was deposed for the second time at the end of August. Despite the ongoing litigation, Klein said he still prioritizes programming for students. Thursday evening, he offered an alcohol-free late night event where students could get hot cookie dough and ice cream from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. He said Northwestern Board of Trustees, along with five others, the University announced today. Northwestern Memorial HealthCare president and CEO Dean Harrison, General Dynamics chairman and CEO Phebe Novakovic, CF Industries Holdings CEO Stephen Wilson (Weinberg ‘70, Kellogg ‘74) and private investors Kip Kirkpatrick (Weinberg ‘94, Kellogg ‘97) and Muneer Satter (Weinberg ‘83) were also named trustees.

numbers for the Birthright trip he leads remain steady. Although he cannot physically be on campus, even the T-shirts he distributed to students are purple and say “Northwestern” in Hebrew. Chabad House executive board president Joel Rabinowitz said the group is flyering for events around campus and using Facebook and texts to

reach out to freshmen. “A lot of what we’re doing is to try to maintain what we’ve been doing,” the Weinberg senior said. “We want to keep Chabad being that home away from home that it’s been for so many students.”

Center on Wrongful Convictions director to retire By joseph diebold

daily senior staffer @josephdiebold

Rob Warden will retire as director of the Center on Wrongful Convictions in August 2014, Northwestern School of Law Dean Daniel Rodriguez announced earlier this month. Warden co-founded the clinic, which has gained state and national recognition for its work in pursuing justice for wrongfully convicted inmates, in 1999 with former law Prof. Lawrence Marshall. Warden will become executive director emeritus of the center. “No single person has done more than Rob Warden to advance the cause of the wrongfully convicted,” Rodriguez wrote in a message to the law school’s faculty and staff. “We are excited that we will celebrate his accomplishments during the 15th year anniversary of the CWC’s founding. And we look forward to continuing to benefit from his wisdom this year and in the future as he assumes emeritus status.” Law Prof. Steven Drizin (Law ‘86) will leave his position as the center’s legal director to become assistant dean of the Bluhm Legal Clinic. Law Profs. Karen Daniel and Jane Raley, both of whom were hired by the CWC in 2000 as the

first two staff attorneys, will become the center’s legal directors. “Karen and Jane were the obvious choices to take over as Legal Directors,” Drizin wrote in Rodriguez’ message. “They are two of the finest post-conviction and appellate attorneys in the country, often finding creative ways to win for their innocent clients where others before them have failed.” Daniel told The Daily it is too early to know the plans for the center in Warden and Drizin’s absence, but she said she is excited to work with Raley to move the center forward. “Jane Raley and I have worked together since we both started at the same time at the center,” Daniel said. “We were hired together. We actually used to share an office. We’ve always taught together. We’ve worked together on many cases, although we’ve also worked separately, and we get along great. I just think we’re a great team, and I love working with Jane, so I couldn’t be more thrilled.” Warden has a long career as an investigative journalist, including founding Chicago Lawyer magazine in 1978. He was elected into the Chicago Journalism Hall of Fame in 2003. Daniel offered effusive praise for Warden’s work bringing the issue of wrongful convictions into the public eye. “Even before the center, he started the focus on wrongful convictions, the possibility that innocent people were being convicted in Illinois,” she

said. “He started that back when he was writing stories, when few other journalists were writing stories on that subject. He’s written more, studied more, probably than anybody in the country on this subject.”

As for when next summer rolls around, and the center has two heads in charge instead of one? “It’ll be twice as good,” Daniel said, laughing. josephadiebold@gmail.com

Board to choose new Evanston Township assessor By Kimberly Railey

daily senior staffer @kimberlyrailey

Following the death of the incoming Evanston Township assessor last week, town board members may select a replacement as early as next month, according to a city official. Under the state’s property tax code, the town board — made up of the city’s aldermen — can contract with or appoint someone to assume the position in January, when assessor-elect Sharon Eckersall was slated to take office. Eckersall, 69, was found dead in her home Sept. 11, five months after she won the

assessor election. Police have opened a death investigation but do not suspect foul play. The current township assessor, Bonnie Wilson, will serve her term out until the end of this year. No timeline has been set on finding her successor, but board members will likely act in late October or November, city clerk Rodney Greene said. In a memo last week, city attorney Grant Farrar said the state’s property tax code requires the successor complete the required coursework for the job and present a certificate indicating his or her qualifications. Evanston residents can offer recommendations to the board, but all candidates must meet those requirements, Greene said.

“You cannot even be considered until you can show you have the qualifications,” he said. The search for a new assessor comes as the future of the Evanston Township is unclear. In August, Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn signed a bill that allows aldermen to put a binding referendum question on the election ballot asking voters to dissolve the township. In March, voters favored eliminating the township by a 2-to-1 margin in an advisory referendum. The Evanston Township Assessor’s Office helps city taxpayers with property tax-related matters, including applying for exemptions and filing tax appeals. If the township were abolished, officials say the city

would absorb all of its services. That possibility is not affecting the process to choose a new township assessor, citizen engagement manager Erika Storlie said. “As of today, we have a township, and we will continue to operate as a town board and make sure that township responsibilities are occurring as they are supposed to,” she said. Eckersall, a veteran real estate agent and lifelong North Shore resident, ran unopposed in the assessor election in April. She previously served in the position for three terms, losing to Wilson in 2009. Wilson declined to run for re-election in the spring, clearing the path for Eckersall to recover her former job. kimberlyrailey2014@u.northwestern.edu

Some issues generated more discussion than others, including construction on Northwestern’s campus and the potential sale of the city-owned Harley Clarke Mansion, a historic lakefront property that now houses the Evanston Art Center. At the event hosted by city manager Wally Bobkiewicz, residents were invited to submit budget-related questions and ideas on the city’s Facebook page. Bobkiewicz addressed the issues brought up or promised to pass them along to other city officials. Although less than a dozen residents participated, the concerns brought up varied from complaints about the lack of resident say in city decisions to interest about the use of city funds. Residents asked about issues regarding the vacant lot at Main Street and Chicago Avenue, street repairs and the status of planned tree-replanting and bike-sharing programs. A common concern was the lack of interaction between residents and the city government. One resident, Ben Marcus, said communication is poor, which has resulted in city actions that upset residents. As an example, Marcus cited

zoned out in the back row. This course was a pilot for Semester Online, a virtual learning platform that could upend traditional curriculum. And though hardly any buzz was made about the courses, more students ought to know about and enroll in them. If I learned anything from Philosophy of Cyberspace with Prof. Peter Ludlow, it’s that we can’t stop the march of technology — we can only embrace it. Northwestern is a founding member of a team of eight schools offering classes through Semester Online. The platform divides the year into three terms that roughly correspond to Fall Quarter, Winter Quarter and two Summer Sessions for NU students. Courses are normally capped at about 20 students. The upside is somewhat obvious: Students may work toward their graduation requirements while working, studying or living elsewhere. And schools may play to their strengths: Colleges offer classes in their field of expertise, such as Notre Dame’s introductory class on Christianity. It sounds like a sim-

This academic year, just say ‘yes’ to new experiences Julian caracotsios Daily columnist

I’ve never actually been to a Northwestern football game. And I’m a senior. There, I admit it. But before an angry white and purple mob appears outside my apartment with torches and pitchforks, listen to my story. One Friday night last year, I found myself sulking alone in my room. It wasn’t the first time. This is college, I should’ve been having fun, but everything everybody else was doing sounded stupid. As I scoured the bowels of the Internet for entertainment, I suddenly remembered a movie somebody recommended to me a while ago. “Yes Man” is a run-of-the-mill romantic comedy about a man named Carl — played by Jim Carrey — who, after suffering a divorce, sits around in his apartment alone at night and fakes being busy whenever his friends want him to come out because nothing sounds fun. Sounds like someone I know! The movie takes off when Carl is forced to swear a covenant to say “yes” to all opportunities he encounters. Hilarity ensues as he gets into trouble for saying “yes” to literally everything, but by the end, he’s an altogether happier person, and he has a new girlfriend, gets promoted at work and speaks fluent Korean — because he couldn’t say “no” to signing up for lessons. Here’s what I learned from Carl. We all have things we know we like and will say yes to, and we all have those we’d never touch with 100-foot pole. That’s easy. But here’s the thing: We have no idea what the vast majority of things out there are like. Zero. Zip. Nada. Null set. When trying to imagine future situations, our brains have the notorious habit of concocting ideas based on our preconceived notions while at the same time convincing us we’re being totally logical. For Carl and me, the problems are obvious, but even the most social people can fool themselves into stagnation. Psychologically speaking, we’re pretty good at believing our own lies.

But there’s a simple rule to follow that can help us avoid it. No, don’t take Carl’s example and say “yes” to everything. Some of you who did probably ended up puking in a trash can by the end of Wildcat Welcome. Instead, say “yes” to the things you just don’t know much about — which is most of them — and don’t waste time trying to figure out whether you’ll like them beforehand. If you use that big, NU-caliber brain of yours and exercise judgment, the worst that happens is you waste a few hours of your time trying something you know you won’t do again. The best? Well, I started writing for The Daily because I responded to a random email I got from a listserv that I wasn’t even supposed to be on. Actually, I didn’t foresee joining any of my extracurriculars, exactly zero of which I participated in a year ago. There’s no way I could have because they all appeared spontaneously. You don’t know about most of the good things out there; the only way to find them is to maximize your exposure to as many different opportunities as possible. What your opportunities are depends on you, but what everyone should remember is this: You don’t want to accumulate a list of things you regret not doing earlier. For me, that very long list includes going to see the Wildcats on the football field. If I don’t go to at least one game this fall, I’ll have publicly branded myself a hypocrite, but I don’t think that will be a problem. This summer — after years of telling myself I hated sports — I ended up having a blast screaming bloody murder at the television when my friends invited me to watch the Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup. Nobody ever thought I’d like sports, least of all me. It’s a great thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourself — that’s another bit of movie wisdom. But you have to say “yes,” else the surprises will never find you. Cheers to a new year, everybody. Let’s make the most of it. Julian Caracotsios is a Weinberg senior.

longer grapple with the dilemma of sacrificing an internship or volunteer opportunity to take a required course. Chicago Field Studies, a program that allows Weinberg students to earn academic credit while interning, is version 1.0 of this idea. But clearly, NU students — with our unforgiving and unsynchronized calendars — are at a disadvantage compared to students at other institutions. And online courses — even for students still on campus — are an incredible idea. There has been a great deal of press about Massive Open Online Courses, or MOOCs. But though they promote learning for its own sake by not offering credit, their size is unrealistic for the lively discussion of a seminar course. However, for introductory courses, both Semester Online and MOOCs make a great deal of sense because the material is relatively standardized and students must demonstrate a certain level of mastery to pass. We should not have tenured faculty or even graduate students teaching calculus one lecture or class at a time. It’s better to have a virtual class with recorded lectures, explanations of problem sets and office hours when necessary. This approach would free up capital and labor for NU to spend elsewhere. There is one clear drawback to Semester Online: It’s unclear if or when students are paying attention when logged in. I could potentially open a tab and browse Reddit instead of following along. But in that case, it would perhaps perfectly mirror real life. Guest columnist William McLaughlin is a Weinberg senior. He can be reached at williammclaughlin2013@u. northwestern.edu.

Letter to the Editor

Cats should not play at Wrigley Field NU president Morty Schapiro champions diversity on campus, supports a race-based admissions policy & urged NU to submit a friend of the court brief backing this policy at the University of Texas during the Supreme Court’s hearing of the Fisher v. Texas case. Why did he reverse course by approving a Wildcat football game at Wrigley Field this fall? Mother Jones magazine reported that Chicago Cubs (& Wrigley Field) owner Joe Ricketts spent $5 million last year to defeat the presidential candidate he called: “a metrosexual black Abe Lincoln” (a.k.a. Barack Obama). His quote ran under the headline: “Major League Assholes” in the magazine’s July-August issue, page 17. If this quote is accurate, then playing a Wildcat game at Wrigley Field is like hosting an NU alumni dinner at Paula Deen’s restaurant. In fact, it’s worse because Ricketts put his money where his racist mouth is. His quote offends many, if not all, NU students, alums & faculty. Why is this particular game scheduled for Wrigley Field instead of Ryan Field, where all NU home games are usually played? To boost market share. NU’s athletic department hopes to

spark interest among Chicago alums to increase their turnout at Ryan Field games. There are better ways of doing this without sacrificing NU’s integrity. If this If game is played at 1060 W. Addison this game is instead of Ryan played at 1060 Field, it means NU puts marketW. Addison ing above moralinstead of ity and its moral Ryan Field, compass points directly to the botit means NU tom line. puts marketing One more question: How did above morality Mother Jones learn and its moral about Ricketts’ compass points quote, but not NU’s president or directly to the athletic director? bottom line. Maybe if frequent flyer Morty stopped globe trotting at NU’s expense and spent more time on campus, he’d know what’s happening on his home turf. Northwestern doesn’t need an absentee president, or a hypocritical one.

Northwestern is a top contributor to educational nonprofit Teach for America for the seventh consecutive year, the organization announced earlier this month. TFA, an organization that seeks to “expand education opportunity� in low-income communities, recruits upperclassmen annually to join its teaching corps following their graduation. Recent graduates receive summer training before teaching for two years in a school in a low-income area. This year, 33 NU alumni are teaching across the country, making NU the eighth-most prolific university in its size category in the ranking, released Sept. 3. Last year, NU was the top contributor among medium-size universities, sending 63 graduates to TFA. NU has dominated the list since its introduction in 2008. Eliza McNabb, TFA’s recruitment manager at NU, said the program appeals to students because of its potential for social change. “The Northwestern education is targeted at not only building your own skill set and thinking about how you can further yourself, but also focusing on the impact you can have on the world around you and how you can use both your skills and the education you’re receiving to change and shape the world that you’re a part of,� she said. Students undergo a three-stage application process before being accepted to TFA, McNabb said. According to the University, 7 percent of the class of 2013 applied to be corps members. Communication senior Milana Duggan, who applied to TFA as a junior, will join the teaching corps

in Jacksonville, Fla., after she graduates next year. She said she was drawn to the organization’s core values. “I really admire Teach for America,� Duggan said. “I have the opportunity to make a difference in the most struggling schools across the nation.� Duggan said NU students are “attuned to how people interact, what people really need, what it means to serve others.� Cresence Birder (Communication ’11) taught as a corps member in Miami for two years after she graduated and now continues to teach full-time at her school, as well as work part-time as a TFA staff member. She said though NU is not the only kind of university that produces successful TFA corps members, it helps students gain work ethic and characterbuilding that are important for teachers. Birder described her school as “under-resourced� and “chaotic� when she first arrived with many other corps members.

“It’s been pretty fascinating to see the transformation of the school over the past two years,â€? she said. “The kids are more in line, they’re ready to learn. ‌ Everyone’s been working to give these kids real learnGet yourinstead own Group ing opportunities of having them go to this chaotic holding cell. together andâ€?charter a van.

and 16, according to police. They targeted 42 locations using minors who asked to buy alcohol under police supervision. Police said they conduct the compliance checks every year in cooperation with the Evanston Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition, but this year’s rounds were scheduled to coincide with the beginning of Northwestern’s academic year. Incoming freshmen moved in Monday, and Fall Quarter classes start Tuesday.

Farmhouse Evanston, 703 Church St., and World of Beer, 1601 Sherman Ave., are among the city’s newest restaurants serving alcohol. World of Beer opened in January and Farmhouse Evanston on July 10. A hearing has been scheduled Sept. 24 for Bluestone, 1932 Central St. It remains unclear when the two other restaurants have hearings, but police said they have been slated.

Evanston looks for way forward on Harley Clarke By patrick svitek

daily senior staffer @PatrickSvitek

City Council rejects sale of masion but refuses to spend money on renovations Evanston aldermen rejected a controversial plan to turn the Harley Clarke Mansion into a boutique hotel over the summer, responding to vocal opposition against selling the city-owned landmark to billionaire Jennifer Pritzker. That was the easy part. More than two months later, City Council faces a more daunting task than a simple yesor-no vote: plotting the lakefront property’s future while taking into account varying information about its longtime state of disrepair and a community organization that has vowed to see the process through. “All we know so far is we have declined one particular proposal,” said Ald. Jane Grover (7th), whose ward includes the historic mansion. “In the much larger world … it’s pretty clear the opinions diverge and there is no consensus.” The council’s Human Services Committee was nearly unanimous Monday night in its opposition to pouring more money into the mansion, turning down the opportunity to spend $170,000 on what city manager Wally Bobkiewicz pitched as a “minimum of improvements” ranging from the fire alarm system to plumbing. “It just seems like throwing money away to put money into a building that we know is not going to be exactly as it is now,” said Ald. Coleen Burrus (9th), who described the mansion as “severely deteriorating” while supporting the Pritzker bid in July. Calling Bobkiewicz’s recommendation a shortterm fix for a long-term problem, some aldermen suggested the funds could be put to better use by helping the Evanston Art Center find a new location. The art center has rented the mansion from the city for $1 a month since 1996, a symbolic arrangement meant to boost Evanston’s art scene. But even the art center’s fate is up in the air.

two floors above the council chambers, offered a revealing glimpse at the wide range of residents’ prescriptions for the mansion’s future. Although the meeting was called to brainstorm future purposes of the mansion, a half-hour discussion after Alakiotou’s address veered back to persistent questions about how much it would cost to repair the building and who should pay for it. Elliott Dudnik, an architect who has worked on several projects at the mansion, warned This issue attendees about reading too much into estihas not gone mated costs to repair away, and it it. Bobkiewicz’s price remains one tag comes after a 2012 report pinned a similar that we need to revamp at more than address. $400,000. Bobkiewicz told the committee that Wally Bobkiewicz, Pritzker’s bid took into city manager account an even more expensive endeavor. “Be aware you’re not always reading apples and apples,” Dudnik said. Evanston resident Tom O’Brien suggested tearing the mansion down if the city and art center cannot come to an agreement about its future. “Neither one has shown a financial commitment to maintaining the building,” he said. Skokie resident Arlene Rakoncay almost immediately took issue with O’Brien’s recommendation. “The art center is known throughout the country, and the city should absolutely take care of all the expenses,” she said. On Monday night, Bobkiewicz cautioned the committee about pointing fingers as it considers the mansion’s future. “This issue has not gone away, and it remains one that we need to address,” Bobkiewicz said. “My hope is that we won’t spend a lot of time documenting very precisely who did what to whom or who didn’t do what to whom … but instead focus on moving forward and making sure everyone’s safe.” No Park Sale has scheduled a second meeting Oct. 23 in Room 2404 of the Lorraine H. Morton Civic Center, 2100 Ridge Ave.

clarke conversation Co-founder Barbara Janes speaks at No Park Sale’s first meeting Wednesday night. No Park Sale formed in opposition to the sale of city-owned Harley Clarke.

Its board was expected to meet Thursday night to discuss several issues, including a two-year-old question: Should it ditch the mansion or stay put, potentially facing hundreds of thousands of dollars in repair costs without city assistance? In unscheduled remarks Monday night at No Park Sale’s first meeting, art center executive director Norah Diedrich admitted her 1,700member organization has struggled to secure new digs, despite a $75,000 review of possible locations, a test fit, two appraisals and an unsuccessful bid for a Central Street building. “We worked very, very hard to find another facility, but we may have failed, and our time may be up,” she told the group, which originally formed in opposition to the Pritzker proposal. “We may have to put a lot of money into that building to make it code compliant, and if we do do that, I think it would be foolish of us to

leave.” No Park Sale co-founder Barbara Janes made it clear Wednesday night that her group, the driving force behind the council’s decision to turn down Pritzker’s proposal, will not accept any plan that cuts off public access to the park and beach near the mansion. “We have one lakefront,” she told more than 80 people at the meeting. “It’s for everyone.” The group received a pep talk Wednesday night by Roula Alakiotou, restoration architect for the Berger Mansion in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood. “The persistence will have to be there until you succeed,” she said. “Bring Jan Schakowsky into a meeting and say, ‘Deliver,’” Alakiotou added, referring to the Evanston Democrat in the House of Representatives.

University names IMC alumna to new marketing post

Northwestern announced Thursday that a prominent alumna will fill a newly-created position to lead the University’s international marketing efforts. Mary Baglivo (Medill ‘81) will be NU’s first vice president for global marketing and chief marketing officer. Baglivo previously served as CEO of communications agencies, including Saatchi & Saatchi. She also serves on the board of directors of Phillips Van Heusen, Baby Jogger and Host Hotels and Resorts. “Mary will bring tremendous insights and extensive experience to Northwestern’s global marketing and branding efforts,� University President Morton Schapiro said in a news release. “I’m very pleased to have her join the leadership of the University, and I look forward

ESPN radio host Mike Greenberg to lead 2013 Homecoming Parade

Weeks after pumping up Northwestern’s football team as honorary captain, ESPN commentator Mike Greenberg (Medill ’89) will return to campus to lead the 2013 Homecoming Parade. Greenberg, of ESPN’s “Mike & Mike in the Morning,� announced his grand marshal gig during the radio show early Tuesday morning. After ribbing co-host Mike Golic for his celebrity status at Notre Dame — where he was captain of the Fighting Irish — Greenberg revealed his role. “I feel like my alma mater, with the way we’re playing football, deserves the same kind of treatment,� Greenberg said on air. “I get to ride in the lead car, I get to be like Golic, I get to wave at large groups of people.� Homecoming Week kicks off Sept. 29 and ends Oct. 5, when NU faces Ohio State. Greenberg’s duties as grand marshal include leading the parade — themed “NU Cats on the Block� — and crowning the king and queen at the pep rally with football coach Pat Fizgerald on Oct. 4. “If you’re never going to be the Homecoming king, why not at least put a crown on one,� Greenberg joked on the show.

the daily northwestern | NEWS 13 to having the benefit of her expertise.� The new position is part of the University’s efforts to brand the school both in the United States and abroad. Baglivo will work with academic and administrative offices “to coordinate and provide direction for marketing efforts throughout the University,� Provost Daniel Linzer said in the release. Baglivo holds a master’s degree in integrated marketing communications from Medill. She has previously served as a University trustee and and has been named New York Advertising Woman of the Year. “I’m very excited to join the Northwestern leadership team and to reapply my experience to help accelerate the success of this great mission-driven University,� Baglivo said. Baglivo attended Rutgers University as an undergraduate. Her son John Meguerian (Weinberg ‘12) graduated from NU last year with a degree in psychology. — Amy Whyte

Homecoming co-chair Kate Geraghty said Greenberg appeals to both students and alumni who tune in to ESPN. “It’s been a pretty long process, with who the students are going to want, who are great alumni,â€? the Weinberg senior told The Daily. “We just think Mike Greenberg is such a great pick for that. He’s so enthusiastic about the students ‌ he’s constantly mentioning Northwestern on his show.â€? NU will get more than a mention Oct. 4, when Greenberg and Golic plan to broadcast “Mike & Mikeâ€? from Deering Meadow starting at 5 a.m. “We will be seeing a lot of purple,â€? Golic said on air. Geraghty said the Homecoming board was impressed with Greenberg’s enthusiasm Sept. 7, when he served as NU’s honorary captain in its win over Syracuse. He spoke to the team at Ryan Field the day before, recalling his time as a student. “Twenty five years ago, I sat there,â€? Greenberg told the players, gesturing toward the stands. “And if you had told that kid, who was sitting there 25 years ago, that someday he would have the opportunity to be down here, addressing you guys like this, that kid would have said, ‘I am going to have the best life of anybody in the entire world.’ And that is exactly the way I feel right now.â€? — Michele Corriston

City’s Pritzker sets Forbes 400 milestone

Evanston resident Jennifer Pritzker on Monday was named the first transgender billionaire on Forbes’ list of the 400 richest Americans. Pritzker, a retired Army lieutenant colonel and heiress to her family’s Hyatt Hotel fortune, is worth an estimated $1.7 billion, according to the magazine. Pritzker, 62, came in at 327th on the Forbes 400. In August, Crain’s Chicago Business reported that a memo to employees at the Pritzker Military Library and Tawani Enterprises advised them Pritzker “now identifies herself as a woman for all business and personal undertakings.� Pritzker was formerly known as James. A spokesperson for Tawani, Pritzker’s Chicago-based investment firm, confirmed the name change to The Daily on Tuesday.

NU has yet to concede any goals since the first game and has produced nine during the winning streak. The back line of the defense and junior goalkeeper Tyler Miller have worked together to prevent any offensive advances from the opposition.

program’s hope of sustained success in the Big Ten. In high school, Henry dominated on both sides of the ball. In 2011, he was the Miami Herald Athlete of the Year. That year, he played running back, receiver and safety. Henry also earned firstteam, all-state honors in football and basketball in 2010 and 2011. But for Henry, leaving South Florida for the Midwest brings more challenges than just knowing the defensive assignment. “I had a few coats, but when my parents visited, I told them I needed more. We had to do a lot more shopping,” Henry said. “My first winter was a struggle. I wasn’t used to not seeing the sun for months on end.” While Henry, currently undecided on his major, continues to adapt off the field, it’s clear that he’s always been comfortable in between the sidelines. Last year, Henry was one of only four true freshmen to actually play for the Cats. Playing on special teams and a reserve role on defense, Henry contributed to many notable games. Against Indiana, he stepped in for an injured Ibraheim Campbell and notched 5 tackles and a pass breakup.

full playing two games in the Lakeside Classic in Evanston. Lenahan said the first game Friday against Saint Mary’s will pose a special challenge. “They’re going to be a very tough opponent in all senses,” he said. “They have culture, team spirit and good players. You’re going to have to earn everything. We’re still going to try to play the way we play, and if that doesn’t work I have some options.” Momentum has swung in favor of the Wildcats, but they are still in search of a home win. “We’ve been playing really well, but we’ve got to keep it going right now,” Calistri said. “We’ve got two really hard games coming up against Saint Mary’s and Fairleigh Dickinson, so we know that nothing’s going to come easy this weekend. We have to battle for a couple of results at home.” enriqueperez2015@u.northwestern.edu After a road game in Michigan, coaches named Henry the Special Teams Player of the Week. This season, Henry has already contributed one of the defense’s top highlights. In the home opener against Syracuse, Henry corralled an interception that masterfully combined instinct and awareness. After reading the quarterback’s eyes, Henry darted from the middle of the field to the sideline, picking off the ball while tapping his feet in bounds, describing the play after the game as “a squirrel going after a nut.” “(Our safeties) have to be really fundamentally sound,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “I think (Henry) avoided the sophomore jinx. He’s progressing at a really solid level.” Henry credits his progression to learning from older statesmen on the team. Henry said junior safety Campbell helps keep him accountable for all of his plays. He still prepares for games by watching film with graduated safety Jared Carpenter, the MVP of NU’s Gator Bowl win. However, Henry believes it’s his family that ultimately drives him to succeed in every game. “My family has been there for me throughout everything,” Henry said. “They’ve really supported me no matter what decisions I’ve made. I try to represent the name on the back.” rohannadkarni2015@u.northwestern.edu

Junior safety Campbell steps up to lead Cats’ defense By john paschall

the daily northwestern @john_paschall

Having a successful defense requires an immense amount of communication and chatter among the group. But that doesn’t bother junior safety Ibraheim Campbell, who coach Pat Fitzgerald dubbed a man of few words after Northwestern’s victory over Western Michigan. “Having everyone on the same page is crucial,” Campbell said. “It’s something I realized early on

in my career.” The Philadelphia native was an extraordinary athlete coming out of high school. He played running back and defensive back for Chestnut Hill Academy and was named to the Philadelphia Daily News’ All-Decade team. Campbell has continued his ball-hawking ways in Evanston. He now has an interception in five straight games dating back to last season. Fitzgerald said Campbell’s experience on offense has helped him make plays on the ball in coverage. “He’s got terrific ball skills,” Fitzgerald said. “That’s somewhat of a lost art in secondary play. … He’s got a great knack of tracking the ball but also

in safe hands Safety Ibraheim Campbell finds himself as one of Northwestern’s new playmakers and leaders in his junior year.

then arriving at the ball and making big plays.” Sophomore defensive end Dean Lowry said the relationship between the defensive line and the secondary is mutually beneficial. When Lowry and the other pass rushers are putting pressure on the opposing signal caller, the secondary can take advantage of errant throws. And when guys like Campbell are covering receivers for a long time during a play, the defensive line has more time to rush the quarterback. “Having a playmaker like (Campbell) gives us an opportunity to get more sacks,” Lowry said. “It’s definitely nice having a guy like that behind us.” Campbell credits Brian Peters, a former NU player and first-team All-Big Ten safety, for playing a critical role in his development as the quarterback of the defense. “He was an extremely hard worker,” Campbell said. “He prepared very well for games, and he left that with me. I’ve tried to carry it on with the defensive backs that are still here.” Campbell’s promotion to vocal leader of the defense became evident to him last year, when he noticed that he was one of the senior members of the secondary. “Guys would come to me with questions,” Campbell said. “I realized that I had to step up and answer these questions and prepare guys for situations that I was faced with coming in as a first year guy.” Throughout their three games this season, the Cats have posted eight interceptions, only one less than they had all last year during the regular season. But the pass defense has also been susceptible to big play. NU has already given up 2 passing touchdowns of 50 yards or longer. Even though the Cats are undefeated so far, Campbell said there’s not a single perfect game he can remember and that improving the secondary will be a year-long process. “We’re always trying to fix things,” Campbell said. “No matter how good of a game we play, we realize that there are always things we can fix. We are never complacent or satisfied.” johnpaschall2014@u.northwestern.edu

NU hopes to reverse FCS trend against Maine Saturday’s game brings Black Bears to Evanston By John Paschall

the daily northwestern @john_paschall

Coach Pat Fitzgerald didn’t hold back his praises at Monday’s press conference when asked about the Maine Black Bears, Northwestern’s opponent Saturday. “It doesn’t take long to watch them on tape to see how well they are coached, how hard they play and how they execute,” Fitzgerald said. “This is a team and a staff that has been together now for a long time. … Maine knows how to win. They’ve won a lot of football games. ... It won’t take our guys long to see that.” Football Championship Subdivision teams beating Football Bowl Subdivision teams became a trend early on in the season across the nation. Throughout the first three weeks of the season, 13 FBS teams lost to FCS teams. The Bears were part of that trend two weeks ago, when they took down the University of Massachusetts Amherst, an FBS team. Fitzgerald said NU can’t take Maine lightly Saturday. “There’s great parity in all levels of

football,” Fitzgerald said. “You just always remind the guys about the game of football. But it’s about us. We (have) to play better.” After dealing with an early schedule that saw evening practices and three consecutive night games, the Wildcats went back to their normal routine of mornIt doesn’t take early ing practices long to watch this week.

are coming in.” One of NU’s most peculiar stats so far this season has been the zero punt returns by the Cats’ special teams unit. Fitzgerald said the reason for that isn’t necessarily his return men, but rather the inconsistent punters NU has faced so far. “I’d love them to throw the ball to us,” Fitzgerald joked. “We’ve seen three opponents not really kick us the ball. … I guess that’s a sign of respect. ... Fundamentally, we were better in week three than we were week one in front of (junior wide receiver) Tony (Jones). That gives him a lot of confidence that we are going to be able to go out and execute.” In three games, junior running back Treyvon Green — who is coming off a career match against Western Michigan — has led the Cats in rushing with 353 yards and 5 touchdowns.

Brandon Medina and forward Mike Roberge have already shown up on the score sheet, with one goal apiece.
