CARE plans to start shelter in Skokie Group drew concern in 2014 for high euthanasia rate

By NORA SHELLY

daily senior staffer @noracshelly

Community Animal Rescue Effort, an animal rescue organization that used to operate Evanston Animal Shelter, is planning to start a shelter in Skokie.

CARE operated Evanston Animal Shelter starting in 1987, the city asked them to vacate the space in April 2014 amid controversy over canine euthanasia rates.

Karey Uhler, a volunteer with the group and member of the board, said they were excited about the move, as they currently have been operating under a foster home system, in which animals are hosted at homes of volunteers before they are adopted.

“We always wanted a permanent space to be able to help more animals,” Uhler told The Daily. “This space will be able to help us rescue more animals.”

Uhler said the group was “in love” with the building, and Skokie’s centralized location in the North Shore suburbs was ideal. The group also hopes to be able to provide dog training out of their new shelter.

“Our goal is to always help the community they are in,” Uhler said.

In 2014, communit y

members and the City Council became concerned with the group’s euthanasia rate among the dogs they took in. At the time, an animal shelter volunteer who had been keeping records reported the rate was between 45 to 50 percent, a number which was disputed

by CARE officials.

When staff from the city and CARE could not compromise on a plan to move forward, City Council voted to remove the group from the municipally-owned shelter. A new group, Saving Animals for Evanston, has been running the animal shelter since 2015.

Uhler said the group doesn’t want to dwell on the past.

She said CARE’s current live release rate is over 97 percent.

“It’s really hard being a volunteer organization, we all love animals,” Uhler said.

“The numbers don’t always tell the full story.”

CARE will operate in Skokie as a private facility, Uhler said.

In an email, Uhler wrote “while working within the Evanston system there were standard operating procedures, rules and regulations that needed to be followed.

CARE will be operating under an entirely different model in Skokie.”

CARE is a no-kill organization, meaning that they do not euthanize animals due to limited time or space, Uhler said.

When Chuyuan “Chu” Qiu was accepted to Northwestern University, her friends knew she had found her next adventure.

“There will be so many things to discover in Northwestern,” she told Yi Gao, first-year Cornell University

graduate student and a childhood friend, in January. The two were chatting about the future excursions to Chicago and the foreign dishes of the Midwestern United States that Qiu would experience.

Late-night dining options relocate New food truck Elder late-night goes to Sargent; Fran’s moves into Hinman

W ith ne w loc ations for late-night food and improvements to dining hall options, Northwestern Dining is implementing changes beyond the altered closing times at Norris University Center this year.

Elder and Willard dining halls used to offer late-night dining, but the services have been relocated to Sargent and Hinman dining halls, respectively. Fran’s Cafe moved to Hinman after Willard closed at the end of last year.

“While we can’t fully recreate the atmosphere that was Fran’s, we are definitely trying to make sure that the menu is reflective of Willard,” said Ken Field, director of dining.

rolls into Evanston First to open since city council passed new food truck law

By JONAH DYLAN

the daily northwestern @TheJonahDylan

Shortly after turning 50, Nathaniel Davis decided to quit his job at Dyson, a vacuumcleaner manufacturing company, and start a food truck.

Davis had no professional experience cooking, but invested in a food truck, called Wicked Good Wiches, nonetheless.

“I’ve always really wanted to own a restaurant, but the idea of a food truck really grabbed me,” Davis said. “I decided, rather than continuing my career, I would do this.”

When Davis started the process of obtaining a license for a food truck in Evanston around

six months ago, only businesses with a brick-and-mortar location in the city could operate a food truck. But in June, city council passed an ordinance that opened the food truck market in Evanston to businesses without a brick-and-mortar location.

Wicked Good Wiches is the first food truck in Evanston to be licensed under the new rules. And just four and a half weeks ago, he started operating in downtown Evanston. Davis typically is open for lunch on weekdays at the intersection of Chicago Avenue and Sheridan Road, near Allison Hall.

Evanston’s old food truck law also didn’t allow trucks to operate within 100 feet of any establishment that sold food, including schools and hotels.

This rule and the brickand-mortar requirement led another food truck to sue the » See FOOD TRUCK, page 11

AROUND TOWN City surveys residents about parks

Parks Scorecard lets Evanstonians assign letter grades to city’s parks

By KRISTINA KARISCH

the daily northwestern @kristinakarisch

Evanston officials are asking residents for input on the cleanliness, safety and functionality of the city’s parks and recreational facilities.

This month the city introduced Parks Scorecard, a new program that takes online surveys in which residents assign letter grades to each of the city’s parks and identify what needs to be improved. The survey results will be presented to city council in May along with findings from independent consultants hired to evaluate the parks.

“This is step one to create a tool that will be used for future investment purposes,” said Lawrence Hemingway, director of Evanston’s Parks, Recreation and Community Services.

“There’s no time frame yet scheduled for when we’ll present it to council, but again, it just helps start the conversation.”

After the survey results come in, consultants will evaluate the parks and facilities, giving each a letter grade. Then, the city can deliberate and make a plan of how to invest in the parks, Hemingway said.

He added there are no exact plans for

ON CAMPUS FAFSA changes may squeeze MAP grant applicants

By ALLYSON CHIU

daily senior staffer @_allysonchiu

Applications for federally-funded financial aid will open earlier this year, which may inconvenience in-state students eligible for Monetary Award Program grants.

This year, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid will become available Oct. 1 rather than Jan. 1, giving students more time to file their applications, said Brian Drabik, senior associate director of financial aid at the Office of Undergraduate Financial Aid. The earlier date is a permanent change mandated by the Department of Education.

The new system will give students more time to file their applications, as the FAFSA used to become available in January.

“That’s a very small window of time for students who are already juggling a lot of school work,” Drabik said. “You have your high school senior projects you’re working on, you have your application materials you have to turn in for admission and then adding this on top is an additional burden on the (application) process.”

But Drabik said Illinois students eligible for a MAP grant may have trouble under the new system, as the grant is distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis. The earlier FAFSA availability may make it more difficult for some students to secure a MAP grant, he said.

“We’re encouraging them to file as quickly as they can to ensure they’ve been reviewed for eligibility,” Drabik said. “We don’t want the date they completed the application to prohibit them from getting their funds.”

Drabik said he anticipates the cutoff for this year’s grants to be in November or December rather than March. The Office of Undergraduate Financial Aid is planning to send out reminders about the new deadlines, he added.

Missing the deadline for MAP grants could hurt many Northwestern students, said McCormick senior Steffany Bahamon, president of NU Quest

Jeffrey Wang/Daily Senior Staffer

The Office of Financial Aid, 1801 Hinman Ave., shares a building with the Office of Undergraduate Admission. This year, federal grant applications are available earlier, which may pose a challenge for Illinois residents eligible for the Monetary Award Program grant.

Scholars Network.

“If you miss that cutoff date, you just can’t apply for it,” Bahamon said. “If you miss that deadline, all of a sudden you’re $1,000 short, and that makes a huge difference in your day-to-day life.”

Despite the impact on MAP grant applicants, the extra time will give families a better chance to provide updated financial information, which can yield a more accurate estimation of their aid award, said Christopher Watson, dean of undergraduate admissions.

Students will be able to use the “prior-prior year” method to fill out their FAFSAs, Drabik

said. Under this process, when a student applies for the 2017-18 academic year, they will use income information from taxes filed in 2015.

This system eliminates the need to verify information, Drabik said. In previous years, if students were eligible for grants, they would have to prove the information on their applications matched their current tax records.

“You’re simplifying it for the student and making it less complicated,” Drabik said. “One of the hopes that’s coming out of this is that more students will now apply because all of these pieces are in place, so it’s not as much of a hurdle as it had been in

the past.”

Although the goal of these changes was to give students more time, some colleges and universities are already making financial aid deadlines earlier.

NU is not one of them, Drabik said.

“The initial response is to leave things how they are,” he said. “Once you make a change to one piece of the process that’s been in place for decades, it’s important to see what the initial impact is before determining what you’re going to do for the future to change things.”

Non-black students: Please don’t use N-word at Blowout LOUISA WYATT

OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR

Do you know how many times Rae Sremmurd uses the N-word in their songs? I don’t know either, but it’s a lot –– like Django Unchained a lot.

At A&O Ball this past April, I listened to many of the white and non-black people of color next to me shout out every single N-word sang by Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi — the brothers who comprise Rae Sremmurd. If there was one word they memorized of the duo’s discography, it was “nigga.”

Non-black students sang the word more enthusiastically than any other line in the 90 or so minutes of music Rae Sremmurd performed.

It’s like non-black students were waiting for the word to come up each time, like they were holding their breath, saving up energy to scream it out as loudly as possible, thinking the other 2,500 people in the crowd would drown out their one opportunity to get away with belting out a racial slur.

But white students didn’t get away with saying “nigga.” They said it in unison, amplifying each other. We –– black students –– looked around, trying to spot another black person in the crowd like, “Was that you?”

There was no way there were enough of us to make the screeches of “nigga” that deafening.

No way.

This Friday there will possibly be even fewer black students attending A&O Blowout due to this sort of complete disregard for the wellbeing of black students.

Do students realize their power to blindly and aggressively steal away opportunities for joy and inclusivity? Do students realize how their dismissal of our experiences, presence and safety is an act of violence? Do students realize their capacity to ruin our entire night, week, quarter or undergraduate career through exclusion?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Classrooms should help students learn, not merely serve as ‘safe space’

Amid all the words, some inflammatory and others helpful, about safe spaces and trigger warnings, how am I, a teacher, supposed to think about my pedagogy? Our own President has opined on the matter as has The Daily. Not to mention the dean at the University of Chicago. Without agreeing or attacking these administrators, may I offer my working thoughts?

Let me begin simply: I teach classes about horrific events such as genocide, famine, civil wars and failed states. In other words, murder, starvation, rape, pillage and plunder are frequent subjects of my classes. I was an undergraduate when the Black House began, and it was a badly needed addition to other physical spaces which were dedicated to minority cultures, such as Jews and Catholics, who were just starting to lose their status as marginalized groups at Northwestern. Later came the Women’s Center. All for the good in my opinion.

There is a sharp distinction between the idea of safe spaces and classroom culture. To the degree it can be provided, all students should feel physically

(Source: Young Thug on Facebook)

Young Thug performs. The artist will headline A&O Blowout on Friday at Welsh-Ryan Arena.

A number of non-black students ruined my first Ball as an official member of the A&O concerts committee. A number of non-black students ruined, possibly forever, many black students’ relationships with A&O concerts.

This issue especially concerns me as the sole black female on the A&O concerts committee and one of only a handful in the organization overall.

I know of many black students who are considering passing on A&O Blowout due to the exclusivity, aggression and discomfort they have experienced at previous A&O concerts.

We shouldn’t be flinching every 15 seconds from the screams of non-black people surrounding us on all sides.

This is not why I joined A&O.

I joined A&O to bring high-profile talent at historic Chicago venues to NU students for the price of a Chipotle burrito. I joined A&O to bring my perspective –– a black female perspective –– to an organization dominated by white and Greek-affiliated students.

This Friday, Young Thug, a black male rapper, and Kehlani, a mixed-race female R&B/ pop artist, will perform at A&O Blowout. This show is intended to be an entertaining, representative and inclusive event for all Northwestern students.

So please, intelligent and seemingly woke white and non-black students: Please, please, please push your considerably less woke white and non-black friends to think critically about how they will conduct themselves this Friday.

safe on this and any other campus. We ban guns for that reason. We ban harassment. And to provide a place where someone need not have to defend his or her identity seems so obvious that universities have been doing it for years.

our inhumanity to our fellow humans? Obviously not.

I would like to pose my solution, and I quote from my most recent syllabus: “The classroom will be run according to two principles: the first is respect for each other and differing opinions; the second is that controversies, frankness and some strong images (this is a class about famine) will be part of this class. I believe that these two principles can go together very nicely within the classroom …”

In other words, the way the classroom is managed, and how teaching is delivered, determines how and whether students are in a supportive environment while learning highly uncomfortable material. As a teacher I believe that we have an obligation to disrupt your comfort zone, make you consider points of view with which you are unfamiliar, consider opinions other than your own and all the other clichés. If we fail to do that, we fail to educate you properly. Classrooms should not be “safe” environments where your existing knowledge and beliefs are not questioned. Whether we consider the origins of famines or nationalisms in the Middle East, students deserve, indeed should be forced, to put interpretations against one another in an effort to develop better and more accurate analyses. This is how knowledge production does and should work.

So should we warn our students before an image

“

As a teacher I believe that we have an obligation to disrupt your comfort zone.

Jeff Rice Weinberg professor

But what about the classroom? Todd Gitlin wrote an article in Tablet Magazine entitled “Why You Should Be Disturbed in College” and that sums up my attitude towards classroom culture. I teach African Studies and Political Science and, as I said earlier, classes about real world ugliness. To not be disturbed by murder and famine scares me far more than being disturbed. I challenge you to disagree with that claim. So should I worry about framing this material by providing “trigger warnings” or some other means of softening or padding the material? Or perhaps not teach classes about

It’s not my job, nor is it any black person’s job, to tell you how to have these conversations.

It’s really not my job to tell you why you need to have these conversations (even though I have already spent too much time providing you with supportive personal testimony). My experience and the experience of so many black students at these shows are valid and deserve consideration and respect. I’m hoping this op-ed will encourage you to educate yourselves and your friends.

If you’re reading this and you’re feeling singled out, frustrated and/or annoyed, confront these feelings. Imagine these thoughts racing through your mind for two and half hours at a show you were hoping to enjoy –– this is the experience of many black students at A&O concerts. If you’re reading this and considering the nuances attached to saying “nigga” and the commercialization of rap and hip-hop culture, I encourage you to explore this discussion further. I am aware there are many differing opinions on this subject, but it comes down to the fact that many black students feel alienated, and we should all be working to combat this.

A&O events are intended for everyone –– not just you and your white/non-black friends.

Hip-hop is essentially available for everyone.

But the N-word is not for everyone, and omitting the term will not make Blowout any less enjoyable for you.

My current semester abroad renders me unavailable to call out abusers in person. No single person or community will ever have the energy to call out every non-black student at NU who decides to say “nigga.” These are your friends — you chose them; you’re stuck with them.

Make your friends better. Help me make A&O events better; this is why I joined A&O. Louisa Wyatt is a Medill junior. She can be contacted at louisawyatt2018@u.northwestern.edu.

The views expressed in this piece do not necessarily reflect the views of all staff members of The Daily Northwestern. comes up on the screen or a description appears in a book which they might find traumatic? In a way I would want to defer to psychologists who know better as to how to prevent PTSD flare-ups, which is a clinical issue. But excluding PTSD and moving to a more common situation in which students might encounter pictures and accounts of starving children or the story of a mother killing her baby as in Toni Morrison’s “Beloved,” the power of these images is part of the class and a good teacher will frame these in ways that put space between the student and the text. And it is that space where teaching and learning occurs. If you as a student are uncomfortable, then think about why and speak with your professor about it (that has happened in my classes) or someone who is professionally equipped. But don’t preempt your encounter with tough material — or your fellow students’. Education is not easy and is not supposed to happen without challenges.

So let’s make one thing clear, safe space is one issue; classroom engagement with rough material is another. And as I tell my own classes, in the end the classroom must remain civil and that civility must be based on respect for one another. That way knowledge will grow and education will take place.

After all, that’s the primary goal of education, right?

Anthony Walker ready for ‘personal challenge’

By BEN POPE

daily senior staffer @benpope111

Anthony Walker knew what was coming.

On 3rd-and-7, his outside receivers covered, Nebraska quarterback Tommy Armstrong would be throwing to his safety valve, tight end Cethan Carter. When the throw came, Walker was already three steps into cutting in front of the pass.

The ball wobbled right into Walker’s breadbasket, with 57 yards of grass between him and a touchdown that would have pulled Northwestern within one score with 11 minutes left to play.

Then it slipped through his fingers.

“I didn’t think I was as close as I was to the ball, and I just tried to stick my hand out to bat it down,” Walker said. “I actually got a good handle on it but wasn’t able to haul it in. That’s a gamechanging play that I have to make for our team.”

The missed chance in the eventual 24-13 loss culminated a starkly disappointing first month of Walker’s much-anticipated 2016 season.

After finding his way onto numerous national award watch lists and earning a series of pumpup videos over the summer from the University, expectations were high for the junior All-American. Then came football season. After Walker was hampered by an undisclosed injury during the final weeks of fall camp, he fell oddly silent during devastating home losses against Western Michigan and Illinois State and then struggled against Nebraska’s spread offense.

Now, he’s turned his focus to Iowa — a team that has given him more trouble than any other opponent over his three-year career as a Wildcat — the perfect opponent to transform his mediocre autumn into the exceptional season most expected from the player dubbed “The Franchise.”

New challenges

Walker has gone from the breakout star of NU’s surprisingly dominant defense in 2015 to the focus of opponents’ game plans against NU’s surprisingly underwhelming defense in 2016.

In the week leading up to Nebraska’s visit, Armstrong specifically described the Cats’ linebacking group as “smart,” and the Omaha World-Herald ran a full feature story on Walker. Following the game, Nebraska coach Mike Riley said Armstrong’s read-option keepers — which played off of NU’s linebackers biting on the handoff early — and “edge runs” opened up his run game to rumble for 310 yards.

That level of attention specifically on Walker didn’t existed outside Evanston last year.

“He plays middle linebacker and people are going to block you; that’s the way it goes,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “A year ago, I think people ran a little bit more, especially early (in the season), to the perimeter, and he was unblocked and made a lot of plays unblocked.”

Those changes have made defending tougher for the junior from Miami. And he’s noticed.

“The ball is staying outside a little bit, and if they do run the ball, there’s a lot of traffic for me,” Walker said, chuckling. “But whatever the scheme is, I still have to play within the system. The plays will come. I’m not worried about tackles or anything right now.”

Through four games, Walker has just 23 tackles and 2.5 for loss — a far cry from his stat line of 122 tackles and 20.5 for

loss in all 13 games last season.

Certainly a factor in the production decline has been his early-season health issues, which linebackers coach Randy Bates said hurt Walker’s comfort level and aggressiveness in the season’s first two games.

“When you can’t play full speed because you can’t practice full speed, it just takes time to get used to it,” Bates said. “Even one of the better players in the country needs practice … and unfortunately he was not able to get as much, so he’s slowly catching back up but it’s something that takes time.”

Walker seemed to be returning to form on Sept. 17 against Duke, making two tackles for loss in addition to forcing and recovering a critical fumble that flipped the game’s momentum.

Then, against a dynamic Nebraska offense that has averaged 38.5 points per game this season, he took a step back.

“He missed one tackle I think early in the first quarter, he had a chance on one of the reverse plays in the alley (and he) had the ball in his hands that could’ve been a big interception,” Fitzgerald said. “He was around the ball a handful of other times and just didn’t make the plays that I think he’d really want to make.”

Opportunity for redemption

If Nebraska’s spread attack was particularly well-designed to avoid Walker, Iowa’s smashmouth running style is the exact opposite. The Hawkeyes (3-1, 1-0) ran the ball 38 times last Saturday, many directly towards Rutgers middle linebacker Deonte Roberts.

In Iowa City this weekend, Walker could be the deciding factor in whether powerful Iowa running backs Akrum Wadley and LeShun Daniels run wild on the Cats.

“There’s no question he will get more opportunities than last week,” Bates said.

In the past two meetings, however, he and the rest of the defense have done poorly with their opportunities.

In Iowa’s 48-7 win in 2014 and 40-10 win in 2015 combined, the Hawkeyes outgained NU on the ground by a whopping 515-156 margin.

Walker did not record a single tackle for loss in either game.

“I haven’t played well against them at all,” Walker said. “Went there my redshirt freshman year and that was probably one of my worst performances ever, and then last year against them, I didn’t play well either.”

So he and safety Godwin Igwebuike, both scheduled to make their third career appearances against the Hawkeyes, have privately discussed the importance of this year’s matchup, not only in the team’s quest to turn around its 1-3 start but also in their efforts to jumpstart their own play.

“We’ve kind of taken this game as a personal challenge,” Walker said. “Me and Godwin have to make some plays this game.”

Yet again, Anthony Walker knows what is coming: Iowa. This time, he’s hoping his opportunity to change the game won’t again slip through his fingers.

Confidence propels Flynn Nagel to new heights

By BOBBY PILLOTE

daily senior staffer @bobbypillote

Most people would be terrified by 10 football players hurtling toward them with the sole goal of hitting as hard as they can. But Flynn Nagel sees punt returns differently.

“Right after you catch the ball, looking down and seeing the guys in front of you on the other team and your guys blocking them,” the sophomore receiver said, “I think that’s the best part.”

Nagel has been a key cog in Northwestern’s resurgent passing attack this season, standing second on the team in both receptions and yards, with 10 and 125 respectively. More importantly, Nagel has awakened the Wildcats’ dormant punt return game.

For Nagel, playing a hand in NU’s receiver revolution started with a personal change. The most improved part of his game from a year ago, he says, isn’t his hands or route running — it’s his confidence.

“I may have lost (confidence) a little bit just because transitioning from high school to college was a little bit of a transition,” Nagel said. “Going into this year I have more confidence in myself and just the relationship I’ve built with my teammates, (sophomore quarterback) Clayton (Thorson), guys on the offense.”

Not that Nagel ever really seemed to be short of selfassurance. He was the final member of the Cats’ class of 2015, flipping his commitment from Duke just days before the signing deadline because “when I woke up in the morning it felt right,” he told The Daily at the time. Nagel also likened himself to Julian Edelman, the 5-foot-10 New England Patriots receiver known for his punt return acumen and fearlessness in the middle of the field.

Nagel himself took a big hit over the middle last season against the Blue Devils and was ultimately knocked out for the year two games later Lim

against Minnesota, an experience he says humbled him.

“Now I realize that football may not last forever,” Nagel said. “Getting hurt was a big piece of adversity for me that I’ve really never faced. Throughout high school I’ve really never gotten hurt. This was definitely something I thought I could grow from, and I think I did.”

Back on the field and looking as healthy as ever, Nagel is now listed as a starter at wide receiver but makes his biggest impact when he drops back deep to field a punt. He ran back five punts this season against Duke, a high-water mark in a single game for the program over at least the last nine years, and is on pace to more than double NU’s punt return total from last season.

And whether it ’s Nagel rubbing off on his teammates or some other external factor, the same confident attitude is cropping up all over the wide receiving corps. Senior Andrew Scanlan described an “attitude of improvement” as a motivating factor for everybody in the receiver’s room, Nagel included.

“Guys are really stepping up and guys are really trying hard to provide for the team in every way, shape or form,” Scanlan said. “That includes special teams.”

Senior Austin Carr, leading the team with 26 receptions for 392 yards, has the same positive outlook and said last week after the Nebraska game that this group of receivers is among the most confident he’s ever seen.

“It rivals my freshman year with Demetrius Fields, Rashad Lawrence, Tony Jones, those guys,” he said. “We have a confidence that’s very similar to that.”

Nagel isn’t responsible for all of the increased production from the passing or punt return games, but he’s a good exemplar of it. Just like he does on punt returns, Nagel confidently charges ahead.

Residents give input on Gibbs-Morrison renovations

After site improvements, community center to feature new wooden facades, bike racks, greenery

By BEN WINCK

daily senior staffer @benwinck

Evanston residents offered input on the future of the Gibbs-Morrison Cultural Center at a meeting Thursday.

The City of Evanston met with the community to discuss planned site improvements for the Gibbs-Morrison Cultural Center, located on the southwest corner of Church Street and Dodge Avenue. The city is partnering with urban planning firm Teska Associates, Inc. The primary goal is to keep the cultural center as popular and versatile as it is today while creating a more inviting outdoor space, Teska consultant Jodi Mariano said.

“We want to make sure that it continues to be well-used,” Mariano said. “We want to make sure we continue to promote this as the cornerstone of the community, a place where

people will always feel comfortable gathering.”

The renovated exterior will bring new greenery, wooden facades, benches and bike racks. A sidewalk cutout will allow for garbage trucks and delivery vehicles to access the building’s side yard while also opening up the patio area for visitors.

There used to be significant flooding in the building due to the gradient of the surrounding landscape, so improvements will be made to fix that issue, Mariano said.

“We want to improve the drainage system, so an underground rain structure is proposed with some downspouts and connections to the sewer,” Mariano said. “It would be improved in a way so that there wouldn’t be any rain water entering the building.”

Not all the attendees were immediately won over by the conceptual images and plans. Some complained about the lack of a bus stop sign while others were worried about additional bike racks conflicting with the newly built Divvy

bike-sharing station across the street. The cost of the project was surprising, and money used could be put to better use on a different development, longtime Evanston resident Madelyn Ducre said.

“I asked the city, ‘Why can’t we have lowincome housing built?’ . . . and I was told it was too expensive to build anything,” Ducre said. “Is this going to happen with this building here?”

Director of Parks and Recreation Lawrence Hemingway said more than half the funds used on the improvements are restricted to capital improvements and cannot be used for affordable housing or other city ordinances.

Teska predicted construction to begin in spring of 2017 and end in summer of the same year. Ald. Delores Holmes (5th) said she is excited for the future of the property and the possibility of the community owning the building down the line.

“I’d love to see community people get

together and purchase it, as an investment and as a part of our community,” Holmes said. “We have some different visions in terms of where to go here.”

As the meeting came to a close, many residents requested a follow-up meeting to voice additional concerns and make suggestions.

Mariano said she would contact the designers to address some of the residents’ complaints before holding a second community meeting.

The large and vocal group of attendees helped the Evanston government learn what areas of the project to devote more attention to, said Lara Biggs, the Public Works capital planning bureau chief.

“We are trying to provide a project that meets the needs of this community,” Biggs said.

“We have a couple more months of design work, so there’s still opportunity to give us your opinion.” benjaminwinck2019@u.northwestern.edu

University now offering coding classes to working adults

By DARIA LENDERMAN

the daily northwestern @lend_er_man

Northwestern’s School of Professional Studies began a coding certificate program this fall to teach current members of the workforce new technology skills.

The program’s faculty instructors are working members in the technology industry and have “significant experience in the field of coding,” said Erica Bova, the assistant dean of international and professional education programs at SPS. “Computer coding is a skill that is now required in almost every professional field,”

DINING

From page 1 students have dined at Sargent each night, which is roughly equal to the turnout at the end of last year, he said.

NU Dining wants to improve the general dining experience in residential areas, Field said.

It hopes to be more attentive to student voices and launch what he called “an expanded dining

Bova said. “The School of Professional Studies really wanted to meet this need and help people succeed in the new digital economy.”

The program lasts 24 weeks — from September until April — and meets on two weeknights in addition to Saturdays. The content includes exposure to different computer programs related to web development, including HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript.

Students will also spend 10 to 15 hours each week on web development projects outside the classroom.

Bova and Mary Morley Cohen, associate dean of academic programs at SPS, saw a demand for employees with coding experience, and created the coding bootcamp to fulfill that need, Cohen said.

After gaining approval for the program, the pair worked with experts in the computer science field to develop their curriculum, Bova said.

“Most other programs that are out there are stand-alone programs and are full-time, immersive programs, so it doesn’t really address the need for working adults to participate,” Bova said.

The boot camp offers participants the opportunity to connect with employers in the field of web development, in the hopes of eventually leading to jobs for students, Cohen said. The boot camp considers employers’ input when developing the camp’s curriculum, Bova said.

“I think what is unique about the program is

that we have a dedicated career director that is working with industry contacts in the Chicago area,” Cohen said. “If students would like to break into this career, this program can help do that.”

Matthew Tutak, a full-time project analyst at Health Care Service Corporation and parttime employee of Emergent Activewear Inc., said he decided to enroll in the boot camp after realizing the important role of technology in business today. The skills taught in the class are valuable assets in the workplace, Tutak said.

“Even in these first few classes I’m seeing so many opportunities, both on a personal and entrepreneurial level,” he said.

advisory board” that will receive localized feedback.

Considering Allison dining hall’s success with restaurant Oceanique during last year’s restaurant week, Field said, other changes this year include greater attention to sustainable foods and cooperation with local food providers. “(We’re) partnering with local restaurants from Evanston, so we’re gonna have pop-up restaurants within the dining halls each month,” he said. “We’re reaching out to other restaurants to

allow them to come … feature some of their food, techniques, talk to students and hopefully encourage students to go out and try their restaurants as well.”

Other considerations include a campus-wide increase in vegan and gluten-free options, similar to those available in Allison last year, as well as efforts to improve C-stores throughout campus, Field said. After reducing items at Lisa’s Cafe in Slivka residential college due to high amounts of

theft, NU Dining plans to restock and adjust the store following students’ requests for expanded offerings, Field said.

“We felt like those costs were higher, and the layout wasn’t conducive to having all the C-store items,” Field said. “We’re gonna set it up with some adjustments … so we can bring those items back for students.”

Alderman, spouse honored for environmental work

Ald. Eleanor Revelle (7th) and husband William to be recognized by Bulletin of Atomic Scientists

By NORA SHELLY

daily senior staffer @noracshelly

Alderman Eleanor Revelle (7th) and her husband William are being honored for their environmental work by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists.

The two are to be recognized at The Bulletin’s annual dinner in November. The Bulletin is a group originally started by scientists involved in the Manhattan Project. The group, located in Hyde Park, now runs a public access website that intends to inform residents about the planet’s future, said the Bulletin’s executive director and publisher Rachel Bronson.

The group usually recognizes civic leaders with connections to the organization, Bronson said. She said the Bulletin decided to honor both Revelles together because it was hard to separate their work from one another. Eleanor Revelle was a two-term president of Citizens’ Greener Evanston and also chairs the League of Women Voters Climate Action Task Force.

“We try to honor those who respect and engage the science but who themselves are civic leaders,” she said. “We get to experience Bill’s contributions on a daily basis...but Eleanor and Bill are really a unit, and so it would make sense to honor them together.”

The Revelles have always been supportive of the Bulletin, Bronson said. William Revelle, who is a Northwestern professor, serves on the board. He helped the group evaluate their Doomsday Clock. Each year, the board evaluates the “existential” threat to mankind, primarily

focusing on the proliferation of nuclear weapons, Eleanor Revelle said. Her husband first urged the group to include climate change as a factor in the clock.

In a news release sent out by The Bulletin, the group said they are recognizing the Revelles for their “early recognition that climate change poses a threat to humanity.”

Revelle was the president of Citizens’ Greener Evanston, until she stepped down after being appointed as the 7th ward alderman earlier this year. She was crucial in helping to pass the Livability Plan, said CGE’s current president Jonathan Nieuwsma.

The plan helped reduce the city’s carbon footprint by 13 percent by 2012 and by more than 18.6 percent by the end of 2015, Nieuwsma said.

The Revelles have done a lot of good for not only Evanston, but the nation as well, Nieuwsma said, and Eleanor Revelle has helped the city correct more than just environmental issues.

“One of Eleanor’s last things she did as CGE president before she had to step down was to remind us all that CGE’s mandate is not only to make Evanston more environmentally sustainable, but also economically and socially sustainable,” he said. “Most of our focus had been on the environmental stability part...but now we are starting to concentrate on the social sustainability and environmental justice.”

Nieuwsma said Eleanor Revelle helped “get the ball rolling” on some of CGE’s efforts to make the city livable in aspects apart from environmental justice.

The Revelles have a family history of environmental work. William Revelle’s father was a

Authorities with the Federal Bureau of Investigation were dispatched after employees at the Tollway Offices received a letter addressed to “Illinois Tollway bitches” on Sept. 15 containing a granular substance within the envelope. According to the news release from the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office, the FBI, the Illinois State Police, the Downers Grove Fire Department and the

Naperville Fire Department Specialized Hazmat Unit determined the substance did not pose an immediate threat nor was it hazardous.

The 28-year-old woman was taken into custody early Thursday without incident, and she was charged with one count of disorderly conduct – false bomb or deathly substance threat, a Class 3 felony.

Northwestern takes aim at first conference victory

By AIDAN MARKEY

the daily northwestern @aidanmarkey

Northwestern is looking to turn things around.

The Wildcats (7-8, 0-3 Big Ten) will host Iowa (11-4, 1-2) on Saturday as they search for their first Big Ten victory of the season. The Hawkeyes are coming off their first conference win, a 3-0 sweep of Maryland.

Coach Shane Davis said NU must put together a steady overall game to earn its first conference victory.

“We have to be able to do our jobs in balancing it out,” Davis said of the team’s offensive and defensive play. “Otherwise, it’s too easy for teams to load up on us. That’s what (Ohio State) was able to do.”

The Cats are fresh off a 3-0 loss to the Buckeyes, the third team to sweep them in four matches. A stretch of defeats is not how NU wanted to open conference play, and the team must now face the rest of its grueling Big Ten schedule.

Senior middle blocker Maddie Slater said it is clear how the Cats must approach the upcoming

the Hawkeyes on Sunday, and Prince returned to Columbus this fall capturing a bronze medal with the Canadian national team in the 2016 Summer Olympics. Cats coach Michael Moynihan said NU will have to focus in order to keep these players in check.

“Ohio State has some very dynamic attacking players, very powerful,” Moynihan said.

“We really can’t afford to have any lapses or errors in judgement.”

On the other side, the Cats have allowed just four goals through 11 games this season, with half of those goals coming in the loss to the Scarlet Knights. If NU’s defense can hold it down again, one goal might be all it needs — the Cats have already won four games 1-0.

Despite some offensive struggles, NU showed its prowess Sunday by scoring a season-high four goals against Maryland. Freshman forward Maddy Lucas said the team is

match against Iowa.

“We’re gonna use what we learned from this match to prepare for Iowa and to really just work on the things in practice the next couple days,” Slater said. “We’re excited to play at home.”

Slater ranks fourth on the team in kills. One of Slater’s front line teammates, senior right side hitter Kayla Morin, ranks third for NU. Morin said for the Cats to perform well throughout the remainder of conference play, they must take every match one at a time.

“In the Big Ten, every night you play a top team in the nation” Morin said. “If you start thinking too far in advance and toward games in the weeks ahead, you’re going to get lost and you’re not going to be able to perform your best.”

In addition to this approach, NU aims to make some small changes to its game plans.

Davis said the team will look to use sophomore libero Katie Kniep in more situations for the upcoming matches. going to keep that offensive mentality going into Ohio State.

“It’s key to make a really positive aggressive impact early on,” Lucas said. “Take shots, work the ball around the top and hopefully get a goal.”

Even with the loss to Rutgers last weekend, the Cats are still fourth in the conference standings. A win over the Buckeyes would be another step toward a top-four finish in the Big Ten and a home game to open the Big Ten Tournament.

Although the Cats are no longer unbeaten, senior midfielder Maria Grygleski said the Rutgers loss helped the team learn to overcome adversity.

“The way we responded in the second half of the game showed a lot of character and unity,” Grygleski said. “Continuing to face challenges with a positive outlook is really important.”

“She’s been really focusing on her serve receive and has really improved that,” Davis said. “The next thing is that we need to challenge her on the defensive end.”

The Hawkeyes have a strong record and talented players at some positions, including junior Annika Olsen, who ranks third in the Big Ten with 4.29 digs per set, and senior Loxley Keala, who is third in the conference in assists per set at 11.38.

The Cats are aware that they will encounter some superior teams throughout the demanding Big Ten season. They are confident, though, in their ability to earn some conference wins.

Morin said NU will focus on game-to-game preparation while striving to notch its first Big Ten victory.

“They might have bigger players and more physical players than us, and that’s just maybe the reality of it,” Morin said. “I think if we can scout them and know their tendencies, we can really use that as an advantage as we get into the meat of the Big Ten season.” aidanmarkey2019@u.northwestern.edu

sophomore forward Eva van Agt said only adds to the team’s belief in itself.

that, NU feels that it still has significant work left to do despite last weekend’s wins.

Another top-10 home clash against No. 9 Michigan lurks in late October, and November’s Big Ten Tournament is another pivotal point in the season.

In the meantime, the Cats have turned their full attention to the Scarlet Knights.

“Rutgers has had the ability to stay in games, and they really are scrappy in front,” Fuchs said.

“We just need to make sure that we take care of the ball and do what we’ve been doing for the last two weeks, which is really just play simple.”

Especially after last week’s wins, NU has high expectations for the rest of its season. Despite that, von der Luft brushed aside the notion that the Cats struggled to refocus.

“We still have our eyes on the prize,” von der Luft said. “We definitely want to come out and beat Rutgers this weekend and continue on and win out Big Ten play.” colepaxton2019@u.northwestern.edu

CHU

From page 1 also participated in Model UN, business team competitions and student activity planning committees. Earlier this year, she and six other girls from the top-ranked high school were christened as the “Seven Fairies” for their acceptances into elite American universities — a riff off a Chinese folktale of seven young girls who lived in heaven.

But to her friends, Qiu wasn’t quite the ambitious overachiever her resume made her out to be.

In fact, she was quite the prankster.

Classmates could always count on Qiu to suddenly swoop down and pinch them — in the face, the arms, wherever was most vulnerable. The girls would laugh at her playfulness and tell her to stop, while the boys would suddenly feel shy.

“She’s like the kind of person that cheers you up and she’s got this kind of energy in her,” Gao said. “You think she is special. She is different.”

University of California, Berkeley freshman Yunqi Li remembers Qiu campaigned for student council chair of student life and ran with another girl who also was named “Chu.” They dubbed their campaign team “Chu Chu Dong Ren” — “very gorgeous” in Chinese. It was a riff on how their actual campaign video had a very masculine style, Li said.

Another friend and old classmate, Washington University in St. Louis freshman Sylvia Sheng, said the most moving feature of Qiu was her devotion to being a “team player.” During gettogethers, if someone seemed bored, Qiu would be the one to cheer that person up.

Gao remembers sitting in a restaurant with

Qiu and complaining about ordering too much food. Qiu just giggled at her frustration and said, “Don’t worry. Just go back home and work it out.

You just look good the way you are.”

Food was a common ground for all of Qiu’s friends’ memories with her. She was not afraid to travel long distances or test out different recipes just to try out a new dish, her friends said. For Qiu, cooking was yet another medium to discover the world around her.

Qiu’s friends remember she had her fair share of secret admirers, citing her sweet smile, affable nature and academic excellence. But Sheng also saw Qiu as a tomboy at times. Though Qiu loved fashion, she would much rather wait for the next “Game of Thrones” episode or be absorbed in an online video game than watch a romance movie, Sheng said.

In America, Qiu spent her final weeks exploring a culture Sheng knew would have fit her.

“The life in the U.S. is more free,” Sheng said.

“Most Chinese students are very conservative. She wasn’t. She did not care about what other people think about her.”

The past several days, Gao finds herself replaying an old memory of Qiu. She remembers Qiu’s timid days as a toddler, when her family friends would tease her for not wanting to talk to people.

Qiu would then turn toward her mother and bury her face in her bosom, Gao said.

Remarkably, that shy child would grow up to fly halfway across the world as an incoming freshman at NU this month. Gao said her family at first wanted her to stay close to home, but knew there was more out there in the world for Qiu, both in terms of the cuisine and the people she would encounter.

In the midst of Wildcat Welcome, typing from her new home tucked on the shore of Lake Michigan, Qiu messaged all her friends, wishing them a great school year ahead.

“She just, she had such bright horizons,” Gao said. “She really got this kind of vision that she wanted to see a bigger world.”

CARE

From page 1 of Trustees voted to approve the group’s move into a building earlier this month. The group still has to go through the permitting process, said Peter Peyer, Skokie’s director of community development The group’s past issues in Evanston were not a concern to the village, Peyer said.

At a Skokie Village Board Meeting, CARE president Linda Gelb said the group planned to keep 20 dogs and 30 cats in the shelter at a time.

Skokie does not currently have an animal shelter, said planning supervisor Steve Marciani.

Ald. Judy Fiske (1st), who helped bring the past issues with CARE to light, said she was supportive of CARE’s move and happy with how the Evanston Animal Shelter is now operating.

“I wish them every good luck,” she said.

“This move will be a good thing for CARE.” norashelly2019@u.northwestern.edu

FOOD TRUCK From page 1

City. According to the lawsuit filed by Beavers Donuts, the two requirements were included in the ordinance for the “sole purpose of protecting Evanston’s brick-and-mortar food establishments from competition.”

Although the lawsuit was officially settled Tuesday, assistant city attorney Henry Ford Jr. said the process had begun months before. Beavers Donuts now has a license to operate a food truck in the city.

“The city council made its revisions to the food truck regulations and took care of some of the provisions that were an issue in the lawsuit,” Ford said. “The settlement was contingent on them obtaining a license.”

It is still unclear how the food trucks will affect restaurant business in Evanston. Students returning to campus bolster food truck business, said economic development coordinator Paul Zalmezak.

Ellyn Golden, environmental health license coordinator for the city, said the only licenses issued so far have been to Wicked Good Wiches and Beaver Donuts.

“The market will determine how its going to work,” Zalmezak said. “There’s a certain food truck craze going on right now, and people are into them, and we as a city really are obliged to let the competitive marketplace work itself out.” jonahdylan2020@u.northwestern.edu

UPSET ALERT After notching first victory in September, Wildcats take on top-ranked Maryland Daily file photo by Noah Frick-Alofs

By MARIANA ALFARO

Sunday was a great day for Northwestern. After beating Michigan 2-1, coach Tim Lenahan left the field with a smile on his face, the rest of the team celebrating behind him.

“I’ll worry about Maryland tomorrow,” Lenahan said on Sunday as he prepared to leave the stadium after the team’s first win in a month.

The time to worry has now come, as the Wildcats (2-6-1, 1-2-1 Big Ten) will face the No. 1 Terrapins (6-0-2, 3-0-1), at home on Friday.

No. 1 Maryland vs. Northwestern Evanston, Illinois 7 p.m. Friday

So far this season, Maryland has faced four Big Ten opponents, including No. 6 Indiana, who they tied 1-1. Two weeks ago, NU tied then-No. 3 Indiana 0-0 in Bloomington.

After beating the Wolverines, the Cats hope to pull off a major upset against the Terrapins, whom they beat 2-1 in overtime last year during a home game at Toyota Park. Beating Maryland again this year would improve the Cats’ outlook after starting the season with six defeats in nine games.

Senior forward Mike Roberge, who scored the winning goal against Michigan on Sunday, said he is ready for the challenge.

“We’ve had two great results in the last three games, (and) last year we beat Maryland in overtime which was a great win,” he said. “I’m looking forward for the opportunity to play again; it’s always fun to play a Top 10 team.”

While NU needed two overtime periods to top the Wolverines, Maryland had no problem defeating then-No. 22 Michigan State 2-0 on Friday. During the game, the Terrapins took 11 shots to the Spartan’s five, though they benefited from a Michigan State own goal.

The Cats’ defense, the team’s strength,

seems ready for Maryland after a solid game against Michigan. NU’s junior goalkeeper Francisco Tomasino registered six saves, while senior defender Nathan Dearth chipped in on the other end, assisting on both goals.

Meanwhile, junior forward Elo Ozumba was an offensive spark and scored the opening goal against the Wolverines. Ozumba’s speed made him dangerous against Michigan, and he has high hopes heading into the matchup with the Terrapins.

“We’ve always, historically, had a good game against Maryland so I think (the win against Michigan) helps us get our confidence up for that one,” Ozumba said.

It will be the third time the Cats have

played the Terrapins since the team joined the Big Ten. In both previous meetings, NU has taken overtime wins. The last time Maryland was in Evanston, the Cats beat the newcomers 3-2.

This time around, the Terrapins are ranked No. 1 for the first time since 2012.

Maryland forward Gordon Wild was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week twice in the last three weeks and has eight goals on the season.

Nevertheless, Ozumba said he feels ready to face the team.

“It’s going to be a big game,” Ozumba said. “We’re at home and we’re very excited to play them.”

The key matchup is Ohio State’s high-powered offense against NU’s stingy defense. Lindsay Agnew and Nichelle Prince bolster Ohio State’s strong attack.

Cats take on Rutgers, Drexel over weekend

By COLE PAXTON

daily senior staffer @ckpaxton

The opponents don’t have lofty numbers in front of their names, but Northwestern remains just as focused.

A week after making a national statement by defeating two top-10 Big Ten teams at home, the No. 6 Wildcats (8-2, 3-0 Big Ten) are keeping their intensity level high ahead of road matches at lessheralded Rutgers (6-3, 1-1) on Friday and Drexel (5-5) on Sunday.

“We’re ready. This team doesn’t get too high or too low, and they’ve shown that throughout the season,” coach Tracey Fuchs said. “It’s going to take everything we have on Friday to come out with a victory.”

On paper, neither the Scarlet Knights nor the Dragons are as accomplished as NU. Rutgers lost to unranked Indiana last week. Though, to their credit, they beat No. 18 Iowa on Sunday and took then-No. 5 Virginia to overtime early in the season.

Drexel, meanwhile, allowed seven goals to then-No. 3 Connecticut in early September and has lost two of its last three games, all against unranked opponents. The Dragons have just one home win this year.

The Cats, however, aren’t taking their opposition lightly.

“We try and focus on each game individually,” senior goaltender Lindsay von der Luft said. “We know any game can go our way or the other team’s way. We’re just trying to play our best each game.”

Nonetheless, NU has been ruthless against lesser competition so far this season. The Cats defeated unranked Ohio State 5-1 in the Big Ten opener and scored at least five goals on three occasions in non-conference play. NU’s most lopsided game was an 8-0 win against Colgate, in which the Cats held a whopping 46-1 edge in total shots.

NU is also on a roll, winning its last six games. After losing their season opener, the Cats have gone 8-1 and defeated three top-10 teams, which » See FIELD HOCKEY, page 10
