Equity office sees uptick in reports Sexual misconduct reports up postFord testimony

By CAMERON COOK

the daily northwestern @cam_e_cook

More than 20 million people watched Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, after Ford accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her in high school. For many people watching the hearings, Ford’s testimony brought up difficult memories. Some were even moved to report past experiences of sexual violence. Sarah Wake, a University associate general counsel, said since the hearings there has been a notable increase in

Northwestern students coming forward and reporting past sexual misconduct incidents to the Office of Equity. “My general impression is that people are coming forward to the Office of Equity and other campus partners to discuss incidents that happened in their past because the testimony inspired them (or) evoked difficult memories,” Wake said, declining to provide specifics. The day Ford’s testimony captured national attention, the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network also reported an increase in calls — a 201 percent increase. Local hotlines reported similar upticks in engagement. Despite the increase in reporting, Wake noted that Ford’s actions are a reminder of how hard it can be to report sexual assault or misconduct. “I am here today not because I want to be. I am terrified. I am » See FORD, page 6

Sheil grapples with national scandal Council to consider Students work to address reports of sex abuse in the Catholic Church By SNEHA DEY

the daily northwestern @snehadey_

In August, Monica Juarez received an email from the leader of the Catholic Student Association, what usually would’ve been an outline of the group’s plans for the upcoming year. Instead, the email addressed reports of sex abuse scandals in the Catholic Church. “As the leaders of the Catholic community on campus, we may (read: will) be the recipients of anger, disdain, and vitriol from those who lump us in with the news reports of scandal within the Church,” Medill junior Christian Surtz wrote to the board. “We represent the Church to many, in ways both fair and unfair. But, that said, this situation provides a tremendous opportunity - and a tremendous responsibility.” In late July, former Washington, D.C. Cardinal Theodore McCarrick resigned after being accused of sexually

A proposed business registration fee will be brought before City Council next week, prompting concern from business owners. E v a n s t on’s E c on om i c Development Committee recommended approval of a plan at their Sept. 26 meeting that would expand the scope of businesses required to pay a registration fee. Paul Zalmezak, Evanston’s economic development manager, said at the meeting that Evanston is not capturing all of the businesses in the city due to its licensing regulations. Current city code exempts businesses that require state licenses, as well as those that are home-based from the

existing licensing program. Because of this, only about 500 storefront businesses and 400 food-service businesses fall under the city’s licensing program. Current licensing fees range from $40 to $250 per year, depending on the type of establishment. Because of the new licensing regulations, Zalmezak said, Evanston would be able to communicate with and be informed about many more businesses in the city. This is also intended to make it easier for city staff to let their owners know about regulations and connect them with resources. During the meeting, commission member and architect Mary Beth Berns said the city is essentially asking business owners to “pay for the right to be in your database.” “I don’t understand why I should have to pay to give (Evanston) the right to email me,” she said. » See TAX, page 6

AROUND TOWN Climate action plan set for approval By ALEX WONG

the daily northwestern @alexalwwong

Following a review of public concerns at a Tuesday meeting, the Mayor’s Climate Action and Resilience Plan Working Group is set to approve its sustainability plan on Oct. 9. The Climate Action and Resilience Plan, which has been under development since September 2017, will be approved pending revisions by group members. The group accepted

comment submissions from Sept. 4 through Sept. 28 in an online form and at engagement events. The plan is centered on two main components: climate action and resiliency. It outlines city-wide greenhouse gas reduction targets, which set out to achieve carbon neutrality in Evanston by 2050, with a 50 percent reduction goal for 2025 and an 80 percent goal for 2035. These benchmarks are designed to make the city more resilient to the effects of climate change. “We got very thoughtful comments from

the public on all topics, including some important changes in language and explaining our terminology because there’s a lot of jargon surrounding climate action,” said group member Vickie Jacobsen. In their comments, many residents praised the plan for taking significant steps to combat climate change, which include achieving a 100 percent renewable electricity supply for all of Evanston and increasing the community-wide waste diversion rate by 75 percent by 2035, among others. In response to residents’ concerns, the group will also add a list of tangible actions people can take to reduce their environmental impact and a glossary of relevant terms to the plan. The city is currently facing a $7.5 million budget deficit — due to a combination of a general fund shortfall and increased expenditures — and is set to release a draft budget proposal on Oct. 5. Group members raised concerns that council members would not pass their plan due to the deficit. But co-chair Lauren Marquez-Viso said “inaction may be more expensive” than the plan due to the eventual cost of climate change. “Money is a little tricky to get our hands on,” said co-chair Joel Freeman. “But I’m confident City Council will get a compelling argument from the community to pass this plan.” Because CARP only operates in an advisory capacity, some concerns can only be addressed by city staff and relevant boards following the plan’s passage, said Kumar Jensen, Evanston’s sustainability coordinator. Other comments had already been addressed by the draft plan. The finalized plan will be sent to the Human Services Committee for approval at its Nov. 5 meeting. The plan would then reach City Council for a vote on Nov. 12, Jensen said. alexwong2022@u.northwestern.edu

POLICE BLOTTER Two iPhones stolen from hospital

The Evanston Police Department responded to a report of two iPhones stolen from a desk drawer at Evanston Hospital on Sunday night or early Monday morning. EPD officers came into contact with a 26-yearold-male Chicago resident and located one of the missing iPhones, which belonged to the Northshore Medical Group. Evanston police Cmdr. Ryan Glew said the man was a former employee of Evanston Hospital. The case status is pending review of the hospital’s video footage, Glew said, because it is unclear whether the man found with the recovered phone was the one who committed the burglary. “(The man) could be charged with possession of stolen property but we’re probably going to hold off on that,” he said.

Students spend big for dorm rooms By ALAN PEREZ

Earlier this month, more than 2,000 students moving into dorms raided the Target in downtown Evanston, leaving empty shelves and other stores to compensate for the picked over stock. Downtown Evanston embraced the influx with displays of Northwestern spirit and signs announcing student discounts. The city’s business community openly welcomes new consumers every September, many of them incoming students finishing up some last-minute back-to-school shopping. The joyful greeting is not surprising — businesses have a lot to gain in back-to-college shopping. A survey conducted earlier this year by Deloitte, a Big Four accounting firm, estimated families would spend $25.5 billion nationally in back-to-college shopping, much of that in brick and mortar stores. The average household, the survey found, planned to spend more than $1,300. Communication first-year Maddy Daum, who moved into Elder Hall this fall, said that figure “sounds about right” for her basic dorm items. “We spent a little less than we were expecting just because I didn’t need anything too fancy, I just got the necessities,” she said. “I didn’t decorate my dorm excessively or anything like that.” But that was before other purchases like textbooks and winter clothes for the Los Angeles native. Daum isn’t alone — students are increasingly looking for upscale dorm accomodations, like high thread count sheets. “I bought a lot of my bedding stuff through Dormify, which is notoriously kind of expensive,” said Medill first-year Lia Assimakopoulos. “That was definitely a little bit more than I anticipated but I think they have pretty good quality stuff so I liked it.”

Lia Assimakopoulos’s room in Willard Hall. A survey conducted earlier this year by Deloitte estimated families would spend $25.5 billion in back to college shopping.

Daum spent $150 on bedding, more than $50 she originally anticipated. The list of suggested items by Northwestern residential services is noticeably small, including only “basic necessities” such as shower sandals, toiletries and an alarm clock. The University bans microwaves, large refrigerators and air conditioning units from student rooms. But students often want more than the bare minimum. Retailers recognize this, some of them offering services aimed at improving convenience. Assimakopoulos said she visited the Bed, Bath & Beyond near her home, where she scanned items to purchase and pick up at a Chicago location. “It was really convenient to just come here and buy stuff because shipping is not easy and

putting your stuff in suitcases is really difficult and having to stay under the weight limit is a big pain,” she said. The costs of shipping is one factor pushing students toward physical stores. Online shoppers strongly prefer free shipping, above options to pick up in-store and complete returns in-store, the Deloitte survey found. “It really helps to have it delivered because bringing everything is a pain,” Daum said. “I have a few friends who brought all of their bedding, all of their accessories and everything in their luggages with them. And that’s just really difficult.” Gabby Birenbaum contributed reporting. aperez@u.northwestern.edu

Pressing ‘delete’ on social media isn’t always a loss CASSIDY JACKSON

ASSISTANT OPINION EDITOR

This June, I caved under the weight of my extreme FOMO and downloaded Instagram and essentially… I came, I saw and I left. Just two months after signing up, I pressed the “permanently delete” button. Before Instagram entered the picture, my social media repertoire was basically zero to say the least. I only used two platforms: Twitter and Facebook. And I surfed them maybe five minutes a day — and that’s being generous. Facebook entered my life after getting my Northwestern acceptance email. I eagerly signed up solely to post and read posts on the “NU - Class of 2021 Female Roomies” page. But after I decided to wing it and get a random roommate, Facebook became just a site to scroll through events happening in Chicago and Evanston. Twitter, on the other hand, came into the picture against my will. I got it for a journalism class. And after that class ended, I stopped posting on Twitter. And finally, Instagram came into the

picture because of good ol’ FOMO. Every so often, friends would ask for my Instagram handle, or attempt to tag me in a post to no avail, or just ask to send me an Instagram meme. Eventually, I took the plunge and created an account. I naively assumed it would be another quick sign-up-then-delete ordeal. Instead, it became a dependency ordeal. Instagram quickly became my go-to boredom release and metaphorical pressure tank: feeding me unnecessary pressure to attain “enough” likes and make my life seem as stellar as possible. So I went from not giving a hoot about social media to being dangerously up-todate on it. Going into it, I was naive and failed to realize that, for me, Instagram was a pressure cooker for obsession with live videos, stories, posts, explore pages and more. There’s so many different avenues for you to obsess over other people’s lives and for you to attempt to make other people obsess over yours. I avoided watching Insta stories, never watched a live video, but I still fell in the trap of comparing my life adventures to other people’s. In the end, two things led me to press “delete”: realizing my impact and realizing it all didn’t matter. I’ve felt the negative emotions associated with comparison firsthand,

and I came to the conclusion that with each click of “post,” I was simply adding to the comparison phenomenon. I wasn’t posting motivational quotes or inspirational content. Instead, I was posting pictures of myself looking cool and doing cool things with witty captions. The more I thought about it, the more I had to ask myself, “What effect am I having?” And as everyone always says, Instagram is a highlight reel. A highlight reel where you show yourself on bae-cation, posing with your “besties” and cheesing ear to ear. All the while, behind a cracked iPhone screen, Susan is probably wishing she had a boo like you, and Tracy is wishing she had the funds to go to Lollapalooza. Whether we admit it or not, our social media posts have impact, and as summer came to a close, I realized I’d rather have zero impact than a potentially negative one. Because let’s be honest, media already offers enough images of perfection, and it doesn’t need me to add to it. The final straw that pushed me to press “delete” was I had nothing holding me back. Even after my roommate search came to an end, I stayed on Facebook because keeping up with campus and Chicago events is important to me. Even after my journalism

class was in the past, I stayed on Twitter, because I live for the political commentary and hilarious memes Twitter has to offer. But when I questioned, “why Instagram?” and “why do I post?” there was no valid reason — just FOMO and likes. Yet, with Instagram detracting from my happiness, my time and my energy, the excuses of missing out and likes weren’t enough. After realizing that, I had no choice but to delete the app. So, after searching the intricate maneuvers you have to make just to delete an Instagram account, it was gone. But who knows? Maybe I’ll reopen an account after gaining a healthier mindset with social media. Instagram and social media aren’t the looming devils of the Internet, but the truth is, social media can easily bring out our inner demons. Instagram definitely succeeded at showcasing mine.

Young Adult novels can still resonate, even years later MARISSA MARTINEZ

OPINION EDITOR

Young Adult novels have been a big part of my life since entering middle school. I remember eagerly checking out titles like “My Faire Lady” (Rowena works at a renaissance fair for a summer, eventually finding love) or “Amy and Roger’s Epic Detour” (Amy can’t drive herself across the country and enlists the help of a family friend, eventually finding love). I devoured these books: They offered a look at the mysterious life of high school students, an era of schooling I was terrified to enter. While it may seem (literally) childish to still follow YA literature, it’s a genre I’m not ready to let go of yet. Reading YA allows me to escape the confines of logic in my life, to focus on the bright side of life. The girl gets the guy at the end, the crown is restored to the rightful heir, the main character achieves closure with their deceased relative. No matter how turbulent their lives are, the leads always find a way to balance everything.

There is resolution. Even though it’s a bit unrealistic to apply these scenarios exactly to my life, it’s still comforting. No matter how much goes wrong, the character goes through an introspective journey and ends up a better, more well-rounded person for it. The book starts out defined by their struggles, obstacles that seem impossible to overcome. But this conflict only strengthens them. They rarely experience disappointing endings: Readers make it to the end and see the lead, the anti-hero, triumph. While my problems at Northwestern may seem more large-scale than the troubles of middle school, it can still feel like I’m plagued by my issues with no possible escape. Reading YA novels reminds me that with a little bit of courage, self-reflection and some cringeworthy banter, I too can face my demons head-on. Many YA books are unrealistic, yes, but the topics they cover are as serious as any “real” novel. Over several years, I’ve read about racism, homophobia, death, body image, school shootings and income inequality as much as I have unrequited love and fights between best friends. Putting these serious topics in the context of a fictional “regular life” can help

readers of all ages process some very difficult concepts without being condescending or pretending like the problems aren’t important. This is a skill that many YA novels have picked up. For example, one of my favorite series, “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before,” dealt with issues of mixed-race KoreanAmerican identity, becoming the adult of the household, and family structure just as much as it talked about the now-omnipresent Peter Kavinsky. Sure, the subsequent Netflix film lost much of that nuance in favor of the romance angle, but the books will always have a special place in my heart for putting my teenage racial identity crisis into words. The genre is nowhere near perfect: While the books contain a lot more diverse characters than they did when I was younger, they still represent overwhelmingly white and heterosexual characters who seem to live in a world void of socioeconomic or political struggles. Publishing companies need to prioritize contracting more young authors of a variety of backgrounds. I was able to see myself in many characters, but it often took a bit of effort. Many people write YA novels off for being too simplistic. But a good plotline is a good plotline, no matter who writes it or reads it.

Sales prove this. Demand for Young Adult and New Adult novels is increasing. According to a survey by the Association for American Publishers, publishing company revenue for children’s and Young Adult novels has grown by 11.3 percent to $3.67 billion. In the first half of 2017, the genre had generated $852.4 million in sales, with the biggest increase in readership in comparison to Adult and Religious books. As we grow older, our problems will resemble the petty situations we associate with YA novels less and less. But at the end of the day, we’re still kind of stuck in teenager-mode, trying to navigate social, academic, mental and romantic situations, not unlike the Rowenas, Amys or Lara Jeans of the YA universe. No matter how old we are, we all have a little coming-of-age to do. For now, I’ll do so with a Young Adult novel in my hand. Marissa Martinez is a Medill sophomore.

NU snags two highly-ranked recruits Wildcats fall

to Iowa, lose in five sets to Nebraska

By PETER WARREN

daily senior staffer @thepeterwarren

Over the last few days, Northwestern has secured the commitment of two highly-ranked recruits. First, Jared Jones announced his commitment on Sunday and then Robbie Beran committed on Monday. A 6’9” center out of McEachern High School in Powder Spring, Georgia, Jones is rated as the No. 181 recruit and No. 34 center in the country, according to 247 Sports. The Georgia native had over 15 offers, with nine of them coming from teams that made the NCAA tournament in 2018. Jones visited only two schools during his process and both came in the last three weeks. He first visited NU on Sept. 14 before traveling north to Winston-Salem to visit Wake Forest on Sept. 21. Beran is a 6’9” power forward out of Richmond, Virginia and is a four-star recruit, according to multiple recruiting services. Beran is ranked No. 78 by 247Sports, No. 97 by Rivals and No. 100 by ESPN. On Sept. 25, Beran had cut his list of schools down to three — NU, Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech. According to 247 Sports,

he had visited Atlanta in August and was set to visit Blacksburg, Virginia this upcoming Friday after spending time in Evanston this weekend. Over his recruiting process, Beran received over 30 offers, including five from Big Ten foes. According to 247 Sports, the Virginia native is the best player to ever commit to the Cats. His 0.9700 rating is slightly higher than the 0.9654 grade given to freshman forward Pete Nance.

With the commitment of Beran and Jones, NU now has the No. 18 ranked recruiting class in the country and second-best in the Big Ten, according to 247 Sports. The class includes Beran, Jones and unranked point guard Daniel Buie. If the Cats finish No. 18 nationally and No. 2 in conference, it would be the best finish in the recruiting rankings for the program. peterwarren2021@u.northwestern.edu

Up against the defending national champions Nebraska, Northwestern was struggling to gain any momentum. But the Wildcats were staying close, and when freshman outside hitter Abryanna Cannon delivered an ace in the second set to bring the score to 15-12, the Cornhuskers’ coach John Cook called a timeout. After the quick reset, Cannon — playing in her first game back from an injury — committed a service error to give the ball back to the Cornhuskers. The Wildcats never served again in the set. Nebraska’s outside hitter Mikaela Foecke served nine straight times for nine points. Foecke — a two-time NCAA Championship Most Outstanding Player — served three aces and rammed two kills as Nebraska (13-1, 4-0) took the second set, 25-12, and the match, 3-0. “I was very disappointed in the way we opened up this match and especially in set two,” coach Shane Davis said. “We got four kills in set two. We were very disappointed.” NU’s woes continued into Sunday. Despite taking a 1-0 lead over Iowa, the Cats (106, 0-4) were unable to take advantages of opportunities through the set as they fell to the Hawkeyes (10-5, 2-2) in five sets. In the first set Friday, NU twice cut Nebraska’s lead to within one point. First a kill by junior middle blocker Olivia Viscuso cut the advantage to 7-6 and then an attack error by the Cornhuskers’ Jazz Sweet made the score 14-13. Both times, Nebraska went on runs of three points or more to re-extend their lead as they went on to win 25-19. After struggling in the first two sets, the Cats came out with better energy in the third. They took an early lead and managed to be up 23-20 late in the set. However, Nebraska went on a five-point run to end the set and secure the match. Middle blocker Lauren Stivrins finished a perfect 10-for-10 on attacks for Nebraska. NU’s start Sunday was completely different than its beginning Friday. Against Iowa, the Cats jumped out to an early lead and never looked back as they took the first set, 25-22. Sophomore outside hitter Nia Robinson returned from injury in the first set and immediately made her impact felt. The Indiana native smashed nine kills in 15 attempts. “It felt really good to be back on the court with my team and my sisters,” Robinson said. “It was great to feel the energy on the court because its different from the bench.” NU had a chance to double its advantage in the second set, but failed to capitalize. The Cats had three set-point opportunities but failed to deliver the fatal blow. When the Hawkeyes earned their set point chance up 27-26, they managed to cash in and win the set. During the up-and-down match, the third set was the low point of the day for NU. After averaging over 20 digs and five blocks in the first two sets, the Cats accumulated only seven digs and zero blocks in the frame. The Hawkeyes finished the set on a 14-4 run that seemed to take the energy out of NU. “I thought we were a lot tougher today than we were on Friday,” Davis said. “Came to play a little bit more than we did on Friday. We were just a little bit up-and-down throughout the entire match.” But the Cats were not done yet. After coming off the bench in the third set, sophomore opposite hitter Danyelle Williams sparked NU as it secured a 25-23 victory to send the match to a winner-take-all fifth set. Iowa took an early lead in the fifth set, but Williams delivered a kill to bring the deficit to one. However, the Hawkeyes challenged the call and it was ruled that the ball never tipped the Iowa blocker’s fingertips. The decision proved fatal as the Cats were never able to take the lead and fell 15-12. “I was happy with the intensity. I thought we were all there, we all wanted it badly. We fought hard,” Viscuso said. “It’s hard to be super bummed when you fought that hard.” peterwarren2021@u.northwestern.edu

SHEIL

From page 1 in the state covered up the abuse prompted renewed anger from the public. Juarez said seeing the number of sex abuse victims elicited feelings of shock, sadness and disappointment. “It affected me so much, I was crying,” the Weinberg junior said. But at a time when many Catholics are questioning their faith and calling for reform, Juarez — the secretary of the Catholic students association — and others on campus are hoping to help students cope with the crisis and reinstill their faith in the Church. Surtz, a former Daily staffer and president of the Catholic Students Association, said the group plans to address the crisis at an event for freshmen this Thursday. He said the association is currently discussing what a more formal response to the larger community will look like. Juarez said open dialogue is important. She added the association wants to hold a prayer service outside Sheil Catholic Center, and that resources will be made available at Sheil for all students, regardless of religious identity. “Ignoring it would be idiotic,” she said. “With the sex abuse scandal in the Church, part of the problem is that people weren’t talking, people were ignoring things that should have been reported. We want to be part of the solution.” At least ten states have opened investigations into the Church, while Chile, Ireland and other countries are dealing with similar allegations. The Sheil Catholic Center will participate in the investigation of the Archdiocese of Chicago called for by the Illinois attorney general, but will not be directly involved, Sheil campus minister Tim Higgins said. In his first public words to the Catholic community since the Pennsylvania grand jury report, Pope Francis largely failed to satisfy reformers, sticking only to a familiar expression of disgust at the sins of priests while ignoring calls to announce new measures. “I cannot fail to acknowledge the grave

Northwestern reaches out to parents to address student mental health

Northwestern is partnering with parents, families and students to promote emotional well-being and suicide prevention after a number of student deaths last academic year. “Raising awareness about the resources and support available to community members is a key part of a public health approach to mental health and wellness,” University President Morton Schapiro said in a new release announcing the initiative.

scandal caused in Ireland by the abuse of young people by members of the church charged with responsibility for their protection and education,” Francis said during an August visit to Ireland. “The failure of ecclesiastical authorities — bishops, religious superiors, priests and others — adequately to address these repugnant crimes has rightly given rise to outrage, and remains a source of pain and shame for the Catholic community.” Francis has since met with American bishops about the abuse, though a new Pew Research Center poll released Tuesday found that confidence in the pope’s handling of the issue has declined. Chicago Archbishop Blase Cupich addressed the scandal in a letter to the public in midAugust. In the letter, he said the archdiocese will work to improve the complaint process as well as begin an investigation. Higgins said Kevin Feeney, chaplain and director at Sheil, has brought up the crisis in conversations with his congregation. “A lot of that hit over the summer,” Higgins said. “One evening, (Feeney) invited everyone and anyone to have an open discussion about this.” A prayer for the victims and the Church as an institution has been held every mass since the news broke. As the school year begins, Higgins said Sheil is now planning to involve students in the dialogue and “to look into what people want to say about this issue.” Juarez said she has watched family members consider leaving the Church entirely. Though Surtz said he has also witnessed peers have new doubts and new questions, he added his own faith in the Church has not wavered because he trusts the archdiocese is taking steps to prevent similar issues from recurring. “People have talked about not being sure the Church is right for them,” Surtz said.“I can’t blame people for feeling that way… but I always say if you can’t see the Church, be the Church.” snehadey2022@u.northwestern.edu other NU departments to ensure that students are aware of both internal and external resources available to them.

From page 1 here because I believe it is my civic duty to tell you what happened to me while Brett Kavanaugh and I were in high school,” Ford said at the Thursday morning hearing. Ford explained during her testimony that she didn’t originally report the assault because she was “afraid and ashamed” to reveal details. She didn’t want to tell her parents she had been drinking and didn’t know if it was important enough to report. “I convinced myself that because Brett did not rape me, I should just move on and just pretend that it didn’t happen,” Ford said. According to RAINN, only 310 out of every 1000 sexual assaults are reported to police. The top two reasons people don’t report are fear of retaliation and the expectation that police won’t take the accusation seriously. Only 32 percent of non-college age women report sexual assault to law enforcement and 20 percent of women aged 18-24 report, according to RAINN. But in light of Ford’s testimony, that could change. “I absolutely believe Dr. Ford’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee impacted is always to be proactive in reaching our student community with prevention efforts,” Telles-Irvin said in the release. The announcement comes amid growing student frustration over mental health resources. Students have made repeated calls over the years for additional funding for CAPS, which Schapiro said at convocation is being allocated an unspecified amount of increased money. The University describes its student wellness framework as a “collaborative support network consisting of multiple interventions and trained staff,” Telles-Irvin wrote. She said the framework is endorsed by the leading national agency in student-suicide prevention, The JED Foundation, whose JED Campus

Fees for the new licensing proposal range from $25 for home-based businesses to $250 for establishments occupying more than 10,000 square feet of space. Hecky Powell, owner of Hecky’s Barbecue and a member of the committee, opposed the proposal during the meeting, saying that business owners pay high taxes already. “We pay a lot of other fees,” Powell told The Daily. “A lot of those nickel and dime things they’re doing are adding up.

Local artists brighten up downtown underpass By MADELEINE FERNANDO

daily senior staffer @madeleinemelody

Residents passing through Evanston will be greeted with bright splashes of color to brighten their commutes, thanks to the addition of two new murals to a downtown underpass. The murals, located on Church Street and Maple Street, were inspired and funded largely by surrounding local businesses. One side of the mural — painted by Chicagobased artist Jeff Zimmerman — features several realistic-looking faces on a largely white abstract background. The other side — created by Anthony Lewellen — is a colorful mix of illustrations of a burger, a taco, a dumbbell and a microphone. Lea Pinsky, the director of outreach and community programs at Art Encounter, a non-profit art education organization, said her group facilitated the painting of the mural. Art Encounter runs a public art initiative called

the Evanston Mural Arts Program. The 2-year-old project aims to help community partners and residents uplift their neighborhoods through mural art. Pinsky said Downtown Evanston approached the program about painting a mural to liven up Church Street after new murals popped up around Evanston last year. The program suggested several potential artists, and eventually chose the twi Chicago-based painters. Pinsky said the artists were given the theme “food and fitness,” a subject chosen by Downtown Evanston and some of the mural’s other local sponsors — which includes Evanston Rocks, Church Street Plaza and real estate company FD Stonewater. “They wanted it to represent the fun business district of Evanston,” Pinsky said. “They didn’t want something abstract. They wanted characters and things that represented dining downtown.” Lewellen, who painted one side of the mural, said he “playfully” interpreted the theme in his own aesthetic, drawing on bold colors and imagery. His

end goal was to make something visually engaging and dynamic, he said. Lewellen said working on his mural took about a month — two weeks of planning and design followed by two weeks painting onsite. As he worked on the mural, Lewellen said he noticed people’s expressions light up as they walked by. “It was really positive feedback and people just telling me how much brighter and more pleasant it was walking through the space,” Lewellen said. “Those things are really nice and sort of the unexpected and unplanned benefit of being able to work in the public like that.” Jennifer Lasik, Evanston’s cultural arts coordinator, said there’s been an “explosion” of public art in Evanston over the last two years, with more than a dozen new murals and half dozen sculptures springing up across town. Lasik said there are many ways to propose a mural in Evanston. Sometimes community groups or aldermen suggest one, while other times an artist may have an idea for a certain area, she said. Typically, the group or individual would approach

the Public Art Committee, which would then recommend the proposal to the larger Arts Council. Lasik called Evanston a “great arts community” and said the murals are not only appreciated by residents, they also make an area safer and more cheerful. “It’s not a secret that Evanston’s underpasses tend to look blighted,” she said. “Any time we can take artwork and we can brighten up an area (or) connect people emotionally to their community through art, all that is very positive.” Pinsky said she loved the final result and thinks the murals are fun and dynamic. The artwork, she said, really captures the energy of downtown. “I just think it gives people a pep in their step when they’re walking through their daily life,” she said. “To have a chance to see this huge scale art… It takes you out of your phone or out of your head and makes you think of aesthetics and color and shape — all the good things art can do in a community.” madeleinefernando2020@u.northwestern.edu

CHAMPIONS

Cats win invitational; Lumsden claims individual crown By PETER WARREN

daily senior staffer @thepeterwarren

Opening the third day of the Marquette Intercollegiate in Wisconsin, senior Ryan Lumsden stepped up to the tee of the first hole one stroke behind the leader, world amatuer champion and Arizona State’s Alex del Rey. Three shots later, Lumsden’s golf ball was in the cup for an eagle and Northwestern was off to the races. Behind a standout performance from Lumsden, the Wildcats combined for a tournament-best thirdround score of 12-under-par Tuesday as they finished the invitational in first place with Lumsden also claiming the individual title. “We just had the right mindset going in,” Lumsden said. “We have on the inside of our yardage book ‘play to play great’ and we came out to play a really good round of golf.” Lumsden found himself in position to win the tournament after a 4-under second round, the best round of golf played during a day permeated with poor weather. Lumsden was the only golfer to shoot in the 60s on day two.

Following his eagle on No. 1, Lumsden bogeyed two of his next three holes, but immediately responded. He scored five birdies on his next 10 holes. At the end of the stretch, Lumsden found himself one stroke ahead of del Rey. The Arizona State product would find himself still one back when he ended his day. The individual title is the second of Lumsden’s career. His previous title also came at the Marquette Intercollegiate when he finished tied for first in 2016. “Marquette has been good to me I’ll be honest,” Lumsden said. “Obviously delighted to get the individual win. Game feels like its in good shape and hopefully I’ll be able to leap frog from this.” While Lumsden finished the tournament at the top, he did not have the lowest score of any NU golfer after the first round. That honor was held by freshman Lucas Becht. Becht bounced back from a disappointing opening tournament with a 4-under performance in round one. The score put Becht one stroke behind day one leader Gonzalo Leal of Iowa. “The first day I had coach helping me and my course navigation was brilliant, phenomenal actually,”

Becht said. “Barely made any strategic mistakes, laying up in the right places, making clutch pars, just doing everything right.” After the second day, neither Becht nor Leal were in the top five. A 4-over round for Becht would put him tied for sixth at even-par, while Leal was disqualified for a rules violation. Becht finished the tournament tied for 10th with a 1-over score, the same score and placement as sophomore Eric McIntosh. Junior Everton Hawkins finished tied for 16th at 3-over and freshman David Nyfjäll concluded the tournament at 5-over, tied for 25th. NU’s performance, especially on the third day, was a stark contrast to their execution last week at the Windon Memorial Classic. Coach David Inglis said he saw a big difference in how his team played. “We came into the final round with an opportunity to win and we showed up on the last day,’ Inglis said. “Anytime you can do that, that’s really impressive and really encouraging to see your team show up on the final day like that. That bodes well for our chances at the end of the season.” peterwarren2021@u.northwestern.edu

Wildcats bested by Notre Dame NU to play another By ANDREW GOLDEN

daily senior staffer @andrewcgolden

After last weekend’s loss to nowNo. 14 Michigan, coach Tim Lenahan said his team needed to perform with more tenacity. Northwestern took that message to heart, coming out firing on all cylinders against No. 15 Notre Dame. But in the second half, the wheels fell off the bus and the Fighting Irish (6-3-1, 2-1-0 ACC) wore the Wildcats’ (4-52, 0-3-1 Big Ten) defense down, scoring three goals in the final 20 minutes of the game to win 3-0. NU’s tenacity was evident from the first whistle. Just two minutes into the match, sophomore midfielder Tommy Katsiyiannis sent a cross into the box toward sophomore forward Spencer Howard, whose shot was saved. Unlike in its last few games, NU was constantly the aggressor in the

first half, moving the ball onto their attacking third and maintaining possession. “It was great,” sophomore goalie Miha Miskovic said of the Cats’ first half play. “We came out ready to win this game and we gave our everything. I don’t think their team passed our half (of the field).” In his first career start, Howard was a vital part of NU’s attack. Playing atop the formation, the California native took all three of the Cats’ shots. He said starting was something he has been looking forward to for a while, especially after redshirting with an injury last season. “We were trying to hold the ball a little bit more rather than play

behind,” Lenahan said. “Spence(r) gives us more of a body in there and I thought he did, in the first half, well. The second half we didn’t hold the ball as well as we should’ve.” In the second half, Notre Dame was a completely different team. After outshooting NU, 5-2, in the first half, they consistently attacked the Cats’ defense and took 11 shots in the second half. After over 25 minutes of chippy second-half play — in which three yellow cards were distributed — the Fighting Irish finally broke through for their first goal. Notre Dame delivered a free kick toward the penalty area, the ball ricocheted and ended up by the left post, where Miskovic blocked a shot from senior midfielder Thomas Ueland. Ueland recovered and crossed the ball over Miskovic’s head to the back post where sophomore midfielder Paul Rothrock was found unguarded and tapped in Notre Dame’s first score of the game. “They wore us down with their possession and ultimately we cracked,” Lenahan said. “It’s the first set piece we’ve given up this year and that was disappointing.” The Cats tried to play from behind, which led to more mistakes defensively. Their inability to match up with Notre Dame’s attackers led to two more goals — one from Ian Aschieris and one from Sean MacLeod — in the span of ten minutes. Despite the score, Howard said the defense has worked hard all season and the outcome isn’t reflective of how they played overall. He added NU will take this stretch against tough opponents and carry the lessons they learned into the rest of their season. “Our team learned that when we’re firing on all cylinders, we can play with the best teams in the country,” Howard said. “But if we make mistakes, those teams are going to make us pay for it.” andrewgolden2021@u.northwestern.edu

highly-ranked team By PETER WARREN

daily senior staffer @thepeterwarren

Four games into its Big Ten slate, Northwestern has already played two top-15 teams — including the defending national champions — and has yet to come away with a win. And with the bulk of conference play still to be played, the inexperienced Wildcats are only at the beginning of the gauntlet that is the best volleyball conference in the country. “It doesn’t get any easier,” coach Shane Davis said after the team’s loss Sunday against Iowa. With its first midweek matchup of the season, NU (10-6, 0-4) will faceoff with No. 5 Minnesota at Beardsley Gym. The Gophers (10-2, 4-0) come into Evanston riding a five-game win streak and two consecutive midweek, three-set sweeps over top-10 teams — No. 9 Penn State and No. 6 Wisconsin. Like many teams in the Big Ten this year, Minnesota is a young team. Twelve of the team’s 18 players are underclassmen and only two of the seven players who have competed in 35 sets or more are upperclassmen. However, much like Nebraska last weekend, the Gophers have a senior star as the face of the team. Senior setter Samantha SeligerSwenson is a three-time All-American with almost 5,000 career assists and over 1,000 career digs to her name. A starter on Minnesota’s 2015 and 2016 teams that made the Final Four, SeligerSwenson has won the Big Ten’s Setter of the Week award for the last two weeks. While the Cats have not been able to win any matches against ranked opponents so far this year, they have not gone down without a fight. Playing No. 14 Purdue in West Lafayette, Indiana, NU was able to win the first set. Against No. 3 Nebraska, the Cats had a 23-20 lead in the third set. “We tend to make teams look better than they are at times,” junior middle

blocker Olivia Viscuso said. “We just need to play our level and not change how we do things based on who we are playing.” A recurring theme for the Cats this past weekend was consistency, with Sunday’s loss being a prime example. Sets one and four, both wins for NU, featured the Cats’ highest attack percentages, while set three — a 25-11 defeat — saw NU hit only .033 and Iowa go 14-for-24 on attempts. Another aspect of the varying play has been injuries. Throughout the season, the Cats have had various players miss games with them. Only this past weekend did the team return two of its opening day starters — freshman outside hitter Abryanna Cannon and sophomore outside hitter Nia Robinson. “Right now we are a young team with a lot of people rotating in and out,” Robinson said. “With people switching in and out, it’s going to be a little up and down. If we can nail it in practice, than the next time on the court, we will be able to nail it.” Even with the peaks and valleys of the season, there has been a lot for NU to rally around. Despite missing time, Robinson is second in the conference in kills per set at 4.23, only 0.02 behind the Big Ten-leader, Purdue’s Sherridan Atkinson. Davis said the team’s freshman have been doing a good job fightning. Viscuso said the Cats have had “moments of greatness” but need to find consistency to reach their potential. “I’m excited to see what this team can do,” Viscuso said. “We have so much potential. And we need to find it. I think that we have a lot left to accomplish. We just really need to go after it these next couple of weeks.” peterwarren2021@u.northwestern.edu
