Reports of rape at NU increase in 2015 Data shows eight reports, compared with three in 2014 By ALLYSON CHIU
daily senior staffer @_allysonchiu
The number of reported rapes on campus increased from three to eight between 2014 and 2015, according to the University’s yearly security report. The eight reported rapes in 2015 were the biggest increase in the report, said Gloria Graham, deputy chief of police. In six of the eight reported cases, both the survivor and the accused were students, Graham said. The document, released Saturday, includes statistics on reported crimes, fires and information related to Northwestern’s safety and security efforts. Every year, universities participating in federal student financial assistance programs are required to publish a security report by Oct. 1. Statistics in the report cover the most recent three-year period of reported crimes. Only two of the reported rape cases have criminal charges filed because they were instances of survivors reporting directly to University Police, Graham said. The other cases were reported to campus security authorities or institutions such as the Center for Awareness, Response and Education and the Sexual Harassment Prevention Office. “It’s pretty common that people feel more comfortable
reporting it to places where they feel they can get the emotional support they need,” Graham said. “They don’t always feel comfortable engaging in the criminal justice system. We fully respect survivor choices on that.” However, the increase in reported cases may not mean there has been an increase in sexual assaults on campus, Title IX Coordinator Joan Slavin told The Daily in an email. More people coming forward could be a result of increased awareness about sexual violence as well as survivors and friends of survivors feeling more comfortable reporting incidents to authorities, Slavin said. According to the report, instances of fondling decreased from four in 2014 to two last year. Fondling is considered a forcible sexual offense, a category that also includes rape. Some cases noted in the report occurred at least a year prior to 2015 but were reported recently, Graham said. “I feel really good about what I feel like is a culture change,” she said. “People are becoming more supportive of people who experience sexual violence.” Despite the increase in reports, student organizations such as Men Against Rape and Sexual Assault and Sexual Health and Assault Peer Educators continue encouraging survivors and bystanders to report incidents because there are still many unreported cases, said MARS president Dan Loizzo. » See REPORT, page 7

Four members of the Undergraduate Residential Experience Committee field questions from students about the committee’s plans. The committee held its first town hall meeting Monday and discussed plans to implement residential neighborhoods on campus.
Students question housing model Admins look for feedback on proposed residential ‘neighborhoods’ By ALLY MAUCH

Students raised concerns about how residential colleges would play into the University’s “neighborhood model” at the Undergraduate Residential
Currently, the committee has tentative plans to bring the concept of neighborhoods to residential living, said Tim DeBold, coordinator of Residential Academic Initiatives. This would involve creating communities among different residence halls and colleges where each building would offer
specific amenities, he said. The prototype for this concept is the neighborhood comprising Allison Hall, 1838 Chicago and Shepard Hall. Allison offers a dining hall, 1838 Chicago offers a fitness center and Shepard offers an engagement » See RESIDENTIAL, page 7
Howard Street development progresses By NORA SHELLY

Experience Committee’s first town hall meeting Monday night. Roughly 13 students and five administrators attended the discussion held in Rogers House. The meeting began with an update from the committee about its goals and plans regarding on-campus housing.
Two city-owned properties may soon be functioning businesses again, as Evanston officials work toward filling currently vacant spaces on Howard Street. The city is working with one potential occupant for 727729 Howard St., said Johanna Leonard, economic development manager. For 633 Howard St., a former police outpost,
the city does not have a potential occupant. Ald. Ann Rainey (8th), whose ward’s southern border is Howard Street, said in an email she was “extremely hopeful but very realistic” about the property at 727-729 Howard St. “No deal is done until it’s done,” Rainey said in the email. “Anything can happen in this economy.” Although Rainey declined to give any more details about the potential use for the space, she said she expects to hear “good news” soon. Economic
development of Howard Street has been a focus of some city officials — Rainey in particular. The city has previously helped two restaurants — Peckish Pig and Ward Eight — open up on the street. The concept for 727 Howard St. is a fine-dining restaurant, Leonard said. Although city officials are close to a deal, the business has to get aldermanic approval. “We own those properties. So if they seek to lease those properties, they have to go through the City Council
process and get that approved,” she said. The city had previously made an agreement with Strawdog Theatre Co., ensuring they would be the tenants of the theater if its construction was approved by the City Council. In the spring, the space at 633 Howard St. was the subject of a disagreement between Strawdog Theatre, city officials and a Chicago business, Good to Go Jamaican Cuisine and Catering. The city had put out » See HOWARD, page 7
District 65 teachers, board to negotiate using federal mediator By NORA SHELLY
daily senior staffer @noracshelly
Evanston/Skokie District 65 teachers have gone for more than a month without a contract. The District 65 Board of Education and the District 65 Educators’ Council have been in negotiations over the contract since February, said council president Paula Zelinski. The teachers ended a four-year contract just before the
start of the school year and have been paid under the previous contract thus far in the school year. A significant part of the negotiations have been over working conditions for the teachers, Zelinksi said. Earlier this month, both sides agreed to use a federal mediator to help with the negotiations, which were planned to be finalized by the beginning of the 2016-2017 school year. “My sincere hope is that involvement of a mediator will
Serving the University and Evanston since 1881
help both sides make progress towards a fair contract for all,” said board member Candace Chow at a school board meeting last week. Chow said this was a “pivotal” time for the school district, in that the work of educators and students is progressing while financial challenges mount up. Working with a mediator will help both the teachers and the board member address those issues. “The time is upon all of us to share responsibility in addressing these challenges so that we
can both maintain the quality of education here in Evanston and Skokie and provide job stability for our valued professionals,” she said. Although teachers are still being paid, working without a contract can be troublesome, Zelinski said. “They want to be there for the kids. They want to be there for their classes. They’re doing their work every day,” Zelinski said. “It just creates a more unsettled environment.” Zelinski said the two sides have met about 18 times since
the negotiations began in February. However, Superintendent Paul Goren has not been at every meeting, even though his attendance is typical of negotiations in the district in years past, Zelinski said. This has complicated things for the council, she said. “We’ve never bargained a contract before without having the superintendent and at least two school board members actively involved in the process,” she said. “It just made things take a lot longer.”
Teachers in kindergarten through fifth grade currently have designated time to plan lessons and do other administrative tasks on four days of the week, Zelinski said. On the fifth day, they have “virtually no” planning time during the day, which they hope to add during these negotiations. Planning time is important for a teacher’s work, Zelinski said. “Teachers need an adequate amount of time during the school » See DISTRICT 65, page 7

AROUND TOWN Illinois sues over opioid addiction drug By SAM KREVLIN
the daily northwestern @samkrevlin
Illinois joined 34 other states and the District of Columbia in a lawsuit against drugmaker Indivior over its prescription drug that treats patients addicted to heroin and other opioid drugs. Indivior has been able to maintain its monopoly on the market by changing the medication from a tablet form to a dissolving film before the patent expired, blocking a generic alternative from entering the marketplace, the lawsuit alleges. Suboxone has made over a billion dollars in annual sales since 2009, when the original patent was due to expire. “These companies rigged a system to ensure they profited at the expense of the people who depended on this drug to treat and recover from addiction,” Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan said in a statement. Madigan said changing the product was illegal “product hopping.” Indivior, she said, made minor changes to extend patent protections and block cheaper alternatives. Standing by its actions, Indivior said it altered Suboxone from a tablet to a dissolvable oral strip because of risks to children in the previous form. Indivior released a statement saying they intend to “vigorously defend its position.” “We believe that the allegations in the complaint are wholly without merit and the suit is both factually and legally deficient,” MonoSol Rx CEO Keith Kendall, whose company worked with Indivior to alter Suboxone, said in the statement. “I think it is important to add that Suboxone sublingual film is a product which has saved countless lives since its approval by the FDA in 2010.” Kathleen Kane-Willis, director of the Illinois Consortium on Drug Policy, referenced other instances of price fixing by companies and called the actions “horrific.” She cited issues with prices of EpiPen and Oxycontin, saying consumers have been unfairly treated.
“To change something not fundamentally and reapply for a new patent is unconscionable and destructive,” Kane-Willis said. “We are paying a lot for little results on the improvement end, but we are paying a lot of cost for that little tiny tweak.” She called into question the legitimacy of changing from a tablet to a dissolvable, saying the tablets risk to children was “absolutely false.” Robert Carty, clinical director at Hazelden Betty Ford in Chicago, an addiction treatment center, works with numerous patients fighting addiction. Although only a small percentage of patients use Suboxone because they try to get patients off as fast as possible, the treatment can last up to six months. He noted that this lawsuit comes at a time where there has been an increase in both heroin and other opioid users. “Usually I don’t use words like opioid epidemic too much because they are scare tactics, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls it an epidemic,” Carty said.
From 2013 until mid-September of this year, 819 people in Illinois had died of heroin overdoses, according to data from the state’s Department of Public Health. With the current election cycle, Carty said he has seen an increase in focus on opioid addiction from politicians. This current suit from 35 states and the District of Columbia is increasing awareness, he said. However, because of slowed legislation in Congress, there continues to be a lack of funding, Carty said. He added that there still is probably a stigma around opioid addiction. Carty said even though the government has declared heroin use an epidemic, neither the federal nor state government have done much to address the problem because of budget crises. “I don’t know if the federal government does enough, and certainly the State of Illinois Government has been in extended crisis for an extended period of time.”
Two men were shot at while driving in south Evanston on Sunday. There were no reported injuries, police said. At about 10:10 p.m., EPD responded to reports of gunshots in the area of the 2300 block of Greenwood Street, said Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan. The two men, 17 and 21, were shot at by an unknown suspect. The car was hit by four bullets, Dugan said. Two houses on Greenwood Street, one in the 2200 block and one in the 2300 block, were also struck. Officers recovered .40 caliber shell casings from the front of a house in the 2300 block of Greenwood Street. EPD is investigating the case and is deploying extra patrol units in the area, Dugan said. — Erica Snow

ON CAMPUS New Safe Ride app frustrates students By CATHERINE KIM
the daily northwestern @ck_525
Northwestern students have been experiencing difficulties with Safe Ride’s new mobile dispatch application, which replaced TapRide this academic year. TransLoc Rider is a mobile app that gives students on-demand access to free rides on campus from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. Some students said they have experienced issues receiving notifications and GPS tracking with the new app. Weinberg freshman Serena Salgado was one of many students who could not tell whether or not her car was on its way using TransLoc Rider. “At one point, it didn’t show me the status that I had even ordered a car, so it kind of freaked me out,” Salgado said. “I eventually figured it out, but it took a little bit of navigating the app to keep track of when my car was coming.” Safe Ride coordinator Bernard Foster declined to comment on changes to the service. Another concern among students is that the app does not include an estimated time of when a ride is next available — a feature that was previously available in Tapride, said Allan Heo, Bienen and SESP senior. “It just says, ‘We’ll send you a text when
”
you’re the next ride,’ which from experience I know it could be five minutes to an hour, so that’s very inconvenient for the users,” Heo said. Medill freshman Kira Fahmy also said she experienced errors with the location detector. When she requested a ride from Elder Hall, the automatic location detector provided the wrong address. Weinberg junior Jayleen James said the app’s failure to inform students of canceled rides was also an issue. “It doesn’t tell you when (a driver) cancels on you,” James said. “One time I requested it at 2:40 a.m., and it said that (a driver) was on the way, but it never actually came, so we just ended up walking.” Another problem occurs when requesting a
car through the app because unlike TapRide, TransLoc Rider takes users to an external website to book a car, James said. This change adds confusion to the process because the web page is difficult to navigate, they said. Despite several problems with the app, James said they value the app’s ability for drivers to directly contact students. “On TapRide, it was weird because you would know about the person coming or arriving, but they couldn’t actually contact you,” James said. “So if they were outside waiting, they couldn’t tell you that, and you didn’t know who your driver was or anything.” catherinekim2020@u.northwestern.edu

Northwestern students should explore Fifth Ward DAVID GUIRGIS
DAILY COLUMNIST
Somewhere along the way, on a walk to a Jamaican restaurant that was only supposed to be seven minutes long, I recognized the signs of home: dilapidated storefronts, cars that weren’t shiny and new, wire fences surrounding deserted public parks. In contrast to the polish and shine of downtown Evanston, the Fifth Ward almost seems like a different city, one untouched by the development pulsing outward from the center of campus. There, I’m starkly reminded that the Evanston advertised in Northwestern’s catalog isn’t representative of the entire city. Within the confines of a border broken only by nighttime misadventures at off-campus frat parties, Evanston life has all the trademarks of a suburban hipster neighborhood: coffee shops, vintage consignment stores, an Urban Outfitters and restaurants advertising healthy lifestyles and variants of ethnic and fast food cuisines. To a certain extent, this way of life is completely fine. I’ve developed a taste for what I call the Brunch and Birkenstocks lifestyle, and Evanston The Chic College Town fulfills its promise. But I also miss home, Jersey City. And when I reached the Fifth Ward, I was almost assaulted by homesickness. Here, I had Jamaican food in a worn-down restaurant owned by a woman stirring pots and yelling at her grandchildren over the phone; here, I heard accents that didn’t hint at years of international schooling; here, I saw corner churches and

bodegas and men lounging on the stoops playing cards. I was lucky enough to experience all this once before, when I first set foot in the Fifth Ward for a community service project sponsored by my summer program. It was an enlightening experience, interacting with
people I’d always interacted with but from the “other side” — with the awareness the Northwestern label had given me a privilege I wasn’t accustomed to. I was happy to volunteer for the community festival we helped sponsor, carrying tables and helping local community members set up food stands and put on a show of
camaraderie for the entire Evanston community. It was a declaration that the Fifth Ward, with all its rough-and-tumble charm, was more than the stigma of a poor community of color perpetuates. Evanston stretches far beyond the rows of shops and restaurants near Clark and Sheridan. Beyond the border we’ve placed for ourselves, there is an entire community of people reminiscent of the city I grew up in — one where diversity becomes more than an advertisement on a college catalog. Here is a window into the life I’ve come from, which many of my fellow students at NU also call theirs. And if you want to know what it’s really like, take a walk in my beaten Puma sneakers into a part of Evanston you didn’t know existed. Step into a Jamaican restaurant on a part of Emerson Street well beyond campus, and engage the owner in some conversation about her grandchildren, while savoring the spices of a slow-cooked oxtail. Do some community work alongside the residents of the Fifth Ward. Listen to them, absorb their backgrounds, and understand that our stories run far beyond the stereotypes we’ve grown comfortable associating with “the part of town on the wrong side of the tracks.” For real diversity, try heading to the Fifth Ward.

Panhellenic chapters should offer space to process racism JUSTINE KIM
OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR
Following a pair of racist incidents on American University’s campus, one involving a report of rotten bananas found outside black student’s dorm room and another involving a banana thrown at another black student, Greek organizations at AU have become involved in campus dialogues about race. I often get caught up in Northwestern’s fast-paced atmosphere and forget that similar events have also occurred at NU. Just last year, two students were expelled after they vandalized Alice Millar Chapel with anti-Semitic and racist graffiti. Yes, this was months ago. But did our community truly learn from it? The events at AU should be a reminder to NU students that incidents of racial tension are neither isolated nor detached from our community. Our different communities on campus are often stratified bubbles, sometimes overlapping, but generally self-segregated. As a woman of color involved in Panhellenic Greek life, I consider myself a part of an overlapping bubble. PHA and IFC communities are not often the first places I think of as spaces to discuss pressing racial
issues. It is important to acknowledge those who are working toward dismantling the remnant of the Greek system’s institutional marginalization, but in thinking about what would happen if an incident like the ones at AU occurred on our campus, I have begun to wonder: Would my chapter serve as a space to discuss these issues or would it ignore them? NU and AU are similar in size and political atmosphere. Following the incidents on AU’s campus, student protests broke out, and Panhellenic chapters publicly posted on social media platforms that they “stand in solidarity with the students of American University in their battle against discrimination, racism and violence against Black bodies, specifically Black femmes, on their campus and throughout this country.” Although I was excited to see that the Greek system could stand as allies with a group that has historically been marginalized by the Greek system, it was disheartening to hear that one chapter did not explicitly stand in solidarity. AU’s most recent Panhellenic addition, Sigma Kappa, chose to release a public statement that in no way explicitly stated their solidarity with people of color affected by these incidents. As if they were tiptoeing around their Greek members’ white fragility, the organization posted a “statement of support” status that made no mention of racism, discrimination or injustice. The statement
they released was like checking a box without following through on their intention. Of course, an organization does not speak for every single one of its members. Many women in the Lambda Eta chapter of Sigma Kappa have expressed discontent with their chapter leadership’s decision not to express
“
In thinking about what would happen if an incident like the ones at AU occurred on our campus, I have begun to wonder: Would my chapter serve as a space to discuss these issues or would it ignore them? solidarity, and several have begun the process of disaffiliation, which a member told me then led to their chapter president stepping down. There is also a significant amount of irony the chapter did not want to make a “controversial political statement,” according to one sister’s post, which ended up leading to multiple members claiming to disaffiliate. By not even directly expressing their stance as an ally of students on their campus, the statement made by the Lambda Eta chapter
perpetuated an attitude of self-preservation that is dangerous to those members of their chapter who are affected by racism and shows a lack of willingness to stand against their oppressors. Let’s take a step back. When we as an NU or Greek community hear about racial conflicts at other universities, it’s easy to think “Well, that doesn’t happen to us.” Incorrect. Just a few years ago, a “Jail ‘N Bail” philanthropy event was hosted by Kappa Kappa Gamma and Zeta Beta Tau in which members of the organization wore orange jumpsuits and posed as inmates. The occurrence led to the formation of PHA’s Diversity and Inclusion Chairs and was a stain on our Greek system, reminding us NU is not immune to racial politics. AU and NU are both universities with diversity of race and thought. We can look at AU and think “that won’t happen to us” –– but what if it does? PHA and IFC chapters can and should serve as spaces for their members to discuss the injustices that occur both inside and outside of the chapter. Justine Kim is a Weinberg sophomore.

Illinois suspends investments with Wells Fargo By ERICA SNOW
daily senior staffer @ericasnoww
Illinois will cease investments and business relations with Wells Fargo for at least a year, the state treasurer announced Monday. According to a news release, Wells Fargo “improperly opened” 2 million bank accounts nationwide without consumers’ knowledge between 2011 and 2015. The bank also charged improper fees, ruining credit scores and forcing consumers to pay higher interest rates, the treasurer said. Illinois state treasurer Michael Frerichs suspended $30 billion in investment activity. The treasurer oversees nearly $1 trillion total in investment activity for the state.
“Their illegal actions to meet sales targets and compensation incentives is downright shameful,” Frerichs said at a news conference on Monday. Frerichs authorized an audit to investigate whether the opening of 2 million illegal accounts complied with an Illinois law to return unclaimed property to consumers and to figure out where money is due to beneficiaries. The bank also improperly repossessed more than 400 vehicles from active duty military personnel and charged more than the 6 percent interest rate, Frerichs said. “We have a choice where we invest taxpayer money,” Frerichs said in the release. “We will not reward companies that irresponsibly open new bank accounts and improperly repossess vehicles of members of our armed forces.” A Wells Fargo spokesperson pointed to the
relationship the state and the bank have had since 1970. “We are very sorry and take full responsibility for the incidents in our retail bank,” Gabriel Boehmer, a Wells Fargo spokesperson, said in a statement. “We have already taken important steps, and will continue to do so, to address these issues and rebuild the state’s trust.” After one year of state inactivity with Wells Fargo, an “evaluation of Wells Fargo corporate governance practices” will determine if the state will resume banking relations. This is not the first time Wells Fargo has been under scrutiny from the state. In 2012, the state attorney found more than 3,000 black and Latinx Illinois residents were subject to discrimination and received risky loans from the bank. A joint settlement of $175 million for consumers was reached.
“Wells Fargo is a big financial player in Illinois and I hope to send a message that their unscrupulous practices are not welcomed and will not be tolerated,” Frerichs said at the news conference. Illinois state Sen. Jacqueline Collins (D-Chicago) said this “corporate greed” was frustrating and detrimental to consumers. “What is even more outrageous than the conduct recently brought to light is the fact that we’ve heard this story before: financial institutions claiming they’re too big to be held accountable, while low-level employees take the blame,” Collins said at the news conference. “High level executives evade the consequences, and working families suffer from the misdeeds of others.” ericasnow2019@u.northwestern.edu
Bagel Art Cafe dishes out more than 1,000 free bagels By KRISTINE LIAO
the daily northwestern @kristine_liao
The only thing better than a free bagel is six free bagels. When Bagel Art Cafe restored its Sunday hours this week after cutting them in 2015, they gave them out by the half dozen. Owner Vince Doyle said the independent cafe, 615 Dempster St., cut its Sunday hours because the staff was small and inexperienced, making it hard to maintain a business open seven days a week. Additionally, having Sunday off was important after a busy week, Doyle said. During a period in the spring of 2015, Doyle said at one point he had to work 80 consecutive days. Doyle said customers were “very disappointed” after they cut their hours. “Sunday’s the bagel day,” Doyle said. “When we closed on Sundays a year ago, possibly hundreds of people told us to reopen … It was almost scandalous.” Although they felt bad customers were upset, Doyle said the reaction was “flattering.” Now a year later, Bagel Art has more experienced workers in addition to a larger staff, making a seven-day week both feasible and desirable, Doyle said. Medill freshman Lauren Bell was one of more than 150 Northwestern students to claim her six free bagels Sunday at the reopening of Bagel Art Cafe, where Bell said she found good bagels at a reasonable price. “It’s a really unique place,” Bell said. “It has a
vibe to it, and it feels like a place where college students would go. This is definitely a place where I could bring my homework along and just sit and eat my bagels.” Customers could receive six free bagels as long as they pre-ordered by phone or email, but later in the day the shop began giving out free bagels to all customers, Doyle said. The cafe on Dempster Avenue received more than 250 orders, and about 150 to 200 were from NU students, Doyle said. Bienen junior Sarah Bowen heard about the reopening from a Facebook post and said the cafe could easily market to college students. “It’s smart to open on Sundays because a lot of students try to get off campus on the weekends,” Bowen said. “I know a lot of students who come down to Dempster to get food and study, so it’s good for it to get in on that crowd.” Sunday was Bowen’s first visit to Bagel Art Cafe. She said it allowed her to take a break from campus life. “It doesn’t seem quite as student-filled, which I really like, because I can get outside the Northwestern bubble,” Bowen said. Bagel Art Cafe has catered for Medill and McCormick events, and Doyle said the University is an “integral” part of what they do, noting the number of graduate students living in the neighborhood. “It’s fun to see what people are doing and what they’re working on,” Doyle said. “We’re just making our small contribution with bagels and coffee.” kristineliao2020@u.northwestern.edu

center. Following DeBold’s presentation, facilitators opened up the floor to students. Several students in attendance, who are involved in residential colleges or serve on the residential college board, said they are worried a larger neighborhood could diminish the unique, tight-knit community of a residential college, some of which only have a few dozen students. “We pointed out some serious holes in the plans,” said Joey Salvo, a Weinberg junior and president of Slivka Residential College. Questions regarding Greek life involvement, themes and financial commitments were also raised at the town hall. The questions were often met with the reiteration that the committee has no set plans and is focusing on student feedback. “We don’t have detailed blueprints and programmatic schedules and (organizational) charts,”

a request for businesses to show interest in the space, and Good to Go was the only respondent. In the meantime, Evanston officials proposed the property be leased temporarily to Strawdog Theatre, which was in need of storage space. The building Strawdog was in at the time was set to be demolished, and the theater had found performance space on the Chicago side of Howard Street, a few blocks away from the outpost. The deal sparked backlash from some aldermen, who felt the move would signal the city was going to move ahead with plans to construct the Howard Street Theater. Soon after, Strawdog decided to discontinue its partnership with the city in the potential Howard Street Theater project. The city is currently working with a potential new company to fill the proposed Theater, Leonard said, but the deal is not yet finalized. “We’re working through what that would look like in terms of a final agreement,” she said. Leonard said they will return to the Economic Development Committee meeting Oct. 26 to provide updates on all three properties. Anne Carlson, who owns the bar Ward Eight, 629 Howard St., said she thought the Howard Street Theater was a “great” idea.
said Brad Zakarin, director of the Office of Residential Academic Initiatives and one of the four committee members hosting the event. The associate vice president and chief of staff of student affairs, Julie Payne-Kirchmeier, joined Ron Braeutigam, committee co-chair and associ-

ate provost for undergraduate education and Paul Hubinsky, interim director of residential life, in hosting the event. The bar has been open for almost four years in a building that was formerly city property. Carlson said they chose to locate their restaurant there, in part, because of the opportunity to own their own building and because they heard from residents of south Evanston the area could use its own restaurant scene.
“We’re not moving forward without hearing from the greater student body because they are going to help us create this process,” PayneKirchmeier said. “We don’t do this in the absence of student voices. We do it with them.” Monday’s meeting was the first of seven town halls scheduled for October. Various committee members will host six more meetings similar to Monday’s at different locations across campus. Zakarin said there will be a student moderator helping at each event and calling on students for questions at future town halls. Although it was only the first of seven, many students said Monday’s town hall was a good starting point for the conversation about on-campus housing. “It was a good discussion on both sides,” Salvo said.“It shows that people are interested in shaping their communities for the future, which makes me proud to be a part of Northwestern.” allysonmauch2020@u.northwestern.edu Howard Street typically has more car traffic, but the theater would help to increase foot traffic on the street, Carlson said. “The city is looking in the right direction,” she said. norashelly2019@u.northwestern.edu

Three city projects for two potential restuarants and a proposed theater on Howard Street are ongoing. The street has been a focus of economic development efforts in recent years, spearheaded by Ald. Ann Rainey (8th).
REPORT From page 1
“If someone shot one of your friends, you would go and report that just the same,” the Weinberg senior said. “It’s still a crime and something that shouldn’t be tolerated.” In addition to reported rape cases, the report noted an increase in the number of alcohol law violations and a decrease in drug law violations. In 2015, there were 426 alcohol referrals on campus, compared to 415 the previous year. For drug referrals, the number decreased from 81 to 77. Three weapons law violations also occurred in 2015, compared to none in the previous year. The number of on-campus burglaries also increased from 19 to 23. However, nine of the burglaries reported last year were committed by the same offender, Graham said. The fluctuations are expected and the “changes in both categories are nominal,” said Tara Sullivan, director of the Office of Student Conduct, in an email. allysonchiu2018@u.northwestern.edu

day to provide a level of planning that will be very helpful for their students and their classrooms,” she said. Bill Farmer (Weinberg ‘03), who is the Teacher’s Council president at Evanston Township High School, said he was keeping in touch with Zelinski about the ongoing negotiations. ETHS is covered by District 202 and has a one-year extension on contracts that will be up at the end of this school year. Farmer said negotiations for their contracts would begin in November. The ongoing negotiations over the District 65 contracts may complicate the upcoming negotiations for District 202, Farmer said. “We face similar challenges like state budget uncertainty and school funding reform at the state level too,” he said. Farmer said although he understands the district’s financial struggles, teachers need to be paid fairly. “If the district wants to stay competitive and be able to attract the kind of teachers they need, they need to try to make sure that their salaries are attractive within the suburban area,” he said. norashelly2019@u.northwestern.edu

OHIO STATE
SCORELESS Wildcats shut out high-powered Buckeyes in goalless draw
By ROBBIE MARKUS
the daily northwestern
Despite multiple chances to finish throughout the game, No. 24 Northwestern left Columbus, Ohio, with a double-overtime draw in its road matchup against Ohio State on Saturday. In the 0-0 draw, the Wildcats’ (10-1-1, 3-1-1 Big Ten) defense and junior goalkeeper Lauren Clem again proved their dominance, leading the team to its ninth clean sheet of the season. NU played defensively the entire match. The Buckeyes (7-4-2, 1-2-2 Big Ten) notched 28 shots to the Cats’ nine and also put nine shots on goal. Ohio State also managed to earn 17 corners by the end of the match. The Buckeyes’ offense was led
by senior forwards Lindsay Agnew and Nichelle Prince, who together put pressure on NU with six combined shots on goal. Clem was a dominant presence in the net for all of the 110-minute match. She notched a career-high nine saves, and said she was optimistic about the Cats’ performance Saturday. “There was nothing we were disappointed about,” Clem said. “We left it all on the field. We played together.” Although the defense was strong, NU’s attack again struggled to challenge the opposition. After Coach Michael Moynihan expressed some concern about the offense following the team’s 2-0 loss to No. 19 Rutgers, the Cats continued to have trouble Saturday, managing just two shots on goal the entire match. Despite the worries, sophomore defender Hannah Davison remained confident that the offense would soon find its stride. “The whole team having a very aggressive mindset is important,” Davison said. “The goals are going to come.” Although junior midfielder Kassidy Gorman led the team with three
shots, the closest chance came in the final minutes, when freshman forward Maddy Lucas ripped a ball off the left post. Lucas currently sits at third on the team in goals this season with two, behind Gorman and sophomore forward Brenna Lovera. NU hopes to finish in the top-three in conference standings, but currently sits in fourth, behind Penn State, Wisconsin and Rutgers. The Cats don’t face Penn State or Wisconsin this season, but consistent wins through the rest of conference play would likely propel them to where they want to be. Next week, the Cats will return home to face Michigan State on Thursday and Michigan on Sunday. The Michigan match will have major conference implications, as the Wolverines currently sit a spot back from NU in conference standings. robinsonmarkus2019@u.northwestern.edu

No. 1 Maryland blows out NU NU falls to Iowa, still No. 1 Maryland
By MARTY JOHNSON
the daily northwestern @rick_and_Marty
Soggy field conditions didn’t slow down No. 1 Maryland’s high octane offense, as the Terrapins cruised to a 4-0 victory over Northwestern on Friday night at Martin Stadium. The Wildcats (2-7-1, 1-3-1 Big Ten) topped Maryland (7-0-2, 4-01) in overtime each of the last two seasons and had hoped to get a similar result Friday. But the Terrapins had other plans. “(Maryland has) had this game circled for a long time,” coach Tim Lenahan said. The Terrapins set the tone for the game by striking first in the 11th minute, when Maryland forward Sebastian Elney received a wellplaced through ball from fellow forward Gordon Wild. Elney back heeled the ball to midfielder Jake Rozhansky, who buried it from 10 yards out to grab a 1-0 lead. NU was able to hang in the game and keep Maryland from scoring another goal before half, despite playing without the ball for most of the period. When the Cats did get possession, they struggled to sustain pressure, while junior forward Elo Ozumba struggled to break through the Terrapins’ back line. “We knew we weren’t going to have the ball a lot,” senior midfielder Brandon Medina said. “But we failed to make connecting passes when we did get the ball.” Maryland, which averages 2.67 goals per game, found its offensive stride once again in the 51st minute. Rozhansky unloaded a shot to the left side of the goal, and while junior goalkeeper Francisco Tomasino made a diving save, the ball ricocheted off the left post right to Maryland midfielder Amar Sedjic, who put the ball away to give the Terrapins a 2-0 lead.

Although NU’s defense had some success bottling up the Terrapins earlier in the match, it showed some holes after the second score. Wild, Maryland’s top scorer, added another goal in the 61st minute and midfielder George Campbell tacked on another tally in the 80th minute to finish off the scoring. Lenahan said he was more disappointed in his team’s effort than the
final score. “Against the No. 1 team in the country, when you give a C+ effort, you get a 4-0 game,” he said. The large margin of defeat is a hit to the Cats’ momentum — they are looking to turn around a season that hasn’t gone according to plan so far. Tomasino said NU has to move forward and prepare for its game in Orlando against UCF on Wednesday. “We’ve got to put this behind us, have a short memory,” Tomasino said. martinjohnson2019@u.northwestern. edu

winless in Big Ten By AIDAN MARKEY
the daily northwestern @AidanMarkey
Almost nothing is going right for Northwestern lately. The Wildcats (7-9, 0-4 Big Ten) dropped a straight-set match Saturday in a home conference battle with Iowa (12-4, 2-2). The team, still searching for its first Big Ten win, has now lost five consecutive matches, four of which have been sweeps. “We weren’t in sync,” coach Shane Davis said. “We were a half-step off and not ready to go tonight.” NU kept the beginning of the first set close, holding the score within two points until a set-closing rally by Iowa allowed the Hawkeyes to turn a 15-13 lead into a 25-18 set win. The Hawkeyes picked up in the second set where they left off in the first, jumping out to a 5-0 lead and never relenting. The Cats’ numerous communication errors allowed Iowa to capitalize on one-on-one opportunities, and the visitors took the set 25-16. Junior middle blocker Gabrielle Hazen, who had eight kills in the match, said NU struggled to force the Hawkeyes out of their system. “They were in system in a lot, which makes its hard for me as a middle to make decisions,” Hazen said. “When they’re getting a perfect pass, it opens up the net for them. So they’re going to be in a lot of one-on-one situations.” The third set was very similar to the first: NU kept it close to start, but an Iowa run midway through the set helped the visitors take the Cats down and earn a sweep at Welsh-Ryan. The Cats gave up a .413 hitting percentage on the match to the Hawkeyes, whose team average going into the night was .288. Iowa notched nine blocks and had three players reach 10 or more kills.

Iowa’s game plan was clear: The team wanted to go after Cats junior outside hitter Symone Abbott. The Hawkeyes made a point to serve at Abbott and put two blockers on the Big Ten kills-per-set leader at all times during the night. Hazen said the team is aware of Abbott’s catalyzing effect on its level of play. “Symone’s one of our big players,” Hazen said. “If they can slow her down, they slow down a big part of our offense.” Abbott managed to tally 10 kills, two digs and a block while adjusting to Iowa’s aggressive game plan, but also had eight errors. Though Abbott had a notable night in some ways — she earned her 1000th career kill and lengthened her streak of consecutive matches with double-digit kills to 26 — she said the Cats have to forget about the match and be ready for what lies ahead of them. “We just have to focus on the next one,” Abbott said. “We can’t think about (tonight) or else we will get down.” NU now turns back to the daunting Big Ten schedule as it prepares for a home match against in-state foe Illinois. Hazen said for the Cats to earn a win, they must put together a much cleaner, more consistent performance. “Some nights our passing is on; some nights our hitting is on; some nights our blocking is on,” Hazen said. “We’re really focusing on getting everything clicking at once.” aidanmarkey2019@u.northwestern.edu
