NU develops plans on sexual violence Administrators grapple with continued concerns By ALAN PEREZ

daily senior staffer @_perezalan

As powerful man after powerful man was brought down in late 2017 by rocking accusations of sexual misconduct, Northwestern students stood mostly idle amid the outrage. Though sexual misconduct on college campuses had been an ongoing concern, it lacked the same national attention as other parts of the #MeToo movement. While many students were committed to ending sexual violence — which they surely demonstrated after reports of misconduct at fraternities made earlier that year sparked fervor among the community — the movement to end sexual assault and harassment against women in the workplace had not yet fully reached Northwestern. Then came a remarkable letter. In one of the closest episodes to the NU community, former Medill students and employees

— apparently motivated by what was by then a broad national movement — detailed accusations of inappropriate behavior by one of the University’s most renowned professors. “This is Medill’s #MeToo moment,” declared the letter, which claimed former director of the Medill Justice Project Alec Klein engaged in harassment and predatory behavior. Much of the student body had already been rattled by the University’s decision to not discipline the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, which an anonymous report claimed was the site of drugging and sexual assault. With the inevitable return of SAE, the confirmation of a Supreme Court nominee who faced sexual assault allegations and perhaps a delayed reaction to the University’s July announcement that it could not publicly confirm the accusations against Klein, students are becoming increasingly active in combating sexual violence. “Given the increased media attention towards the issues of sexual assault, concerns that have » See MISCONDUCT, page 7

Council allows Harley Clarke visit D202 reports show Evanston’s Preservation Commission allowed to visit mansion

Black student suspensions have fallen, report says

By KRISTINA KARISCH

daily senior staffer @kristinakarisch

Aldermen decided Monday that members of Evanston’s Preservation Commission will be allowed to visit the Harley Clarke Mansion in advance of an Oct. 23 meeting, though architects, engineers and assessors from statewide nonprofit Landmarks Illinois will not be admitted. The historic mansion sits along the lakefront in north Evanston and has been vacant since 2015, when the Evanston Art Center moved out of the facility. Since then, residents and city officials have been deliberating future options for the property. Ald. Eleanor Revelle (7th) brought forward the motions to admit Preservation Commission members as well as Landmarks Illinois members at Monday’s City Council meeting, though the latter was denied. She has long been a supporter of the mansion, advocating for its restoration and use as an environmental education center. Though Ald. Judy Fiske (1st) ultimately supported the commission’s request, she was hesitant. She argued that an interior inspection of the mansion falls

E v a n s t o n To w n s h i p High School administrators and staff presented figures on summer school attendance, student activities and discipline and suspension to the board on Monday, finding racial disparities were still present in each report. Bill Farmer, the director of ETHS summer school since 2015, reported that summer school enrollment was slightly lower than in previous years. He attributed this “blip” to a decrease in students failing courses during the academic year. However, District 202 board member Jonathan Baum expressed concern over the racial gap in a summer school class designed for incoming freshmen: “Access ETHS.” The class is meant to prepare students for high school, and Baum said there were three times as many white

students as black students enrolled. Farmer said he is mindful of the imbalance. Administrators and board members also found that the cost associated with summer school could be a potential impediment, even though there is a lower fee for students on free or reduced lunch. “It can be a limiting barrier just to have to pay anything,” Farmer said. Fo l l o w i n g Fa r m e r ’s report, director of activities & the Student Success Center Nichole Boyd told the board that 59.2 percent of students were involved in extracurriculars — which includes clubs, athletics and fine arts programs — in the 2017-2018 academic year. The board has previously set a goal of 100 percent participation activities and extracurriculars. When broken down by race, 53 percent of Asian students par ticipate in clubs.

Proposed developments met with mixed reactions By CLARE PROCTOR

the daily northwestern @ceproctor23

Proposals to develop residential units along Main Street have been met with mixed reactions from local business owners. Some argue additional housing would attract more business to the area, but other merchants are concerned about losing parking. Developers William Rotolo and Martin Murray have made proposals to build housing at two different properties — 912 Custer Ave., formerly Dard Products, Inc., and 727 Main St., a city parking lot. The developments would provide 80 new housing units, a combination of townhouses and apartments, including 16 affordable housing units, said Paul Zalmezak, the city’s economic development manager. Adding residential housing would increase business along Main Street, he said. “West of the (train) tracks becomes a little sleepier,” Zalmezak said. “There isn’t as much density. Adding residential density to the west side kind of enlivens the street a little bit more with more people living there.” The developments would fall within the MainDempster Mile business district. Businesses in the area have had mixed reactions to the proposals, said Katherine Gotsick, the business district’s

executive director. These housing developments would add consumers in the area, which would benefit restaurants and coffee shops who primarily receive local customers, Gotsick said. But many businesses are concerned losing the lot would leave insufficient parking for patrons. Construction for developments would also disrupt business, she said. Merchants on the Main-Dempster Mile have voiced their concerns to the developers and

aldermen in both public and private meetings this month. “We’re trying to make sure that the developers are educated on what will be good and what will be bad for the local business,” Gotsick said. Gotsick said she anticipates “many more opportunities for people to speak up” as the development proposals advance. The city is “sensitive” to how losing the parking lot would affect businesses in the area, Zalmezak

requested entry. The resident refused, but then opened the door and attempted to physically remove the homeless man from the property. The homeless man then struck the resident in the chin before leaving the premises, Glew said. The resident went back inside to discover a large cut on his chin, Glew said. He waited until later that day to get the cut sutured and report the battery. The resident suggested the cut might have been from a box cutter, but he wasn’t sure, Glew said.

said. “We’re not moving quickly on that,” he said. “We need to really step back and think about how we address parking.” The developers have submitted zoning analyses for the two properties, which were completed in July and September, said Scott Mangum, the city’s planning and zoning administrator. The next step will be for the developers to review the analyses and adjust their proposals, he said. “(We) tell them where they meet code requirements and where there are deficiencies or where site development allowances would be required in order to develop it,” Mangum said. “Typically, the developer will review those comments and come back with a revised project.” Zalmezak said he expects developers to proceed with the Custer Avenue proposal first because it is a “straightforward private land sale” with Dard Products, Inc. Townhouses — the units proposed to be built at this property — are a rare housing option in Evanston, Zalmezak said, so adding townhouse units would meet a demand present in the city. “Any residential density that we could kind of commit to, kind of between Sherman and Custer, along that block, only helps drive business on Main Street,” he said.

Scooters stolen from Evanston yard EPD responded to a report of a theft in west Evanston on Sunday at 10:47 p.m. The 46-year-old female resident said she “heard rummaging” where she kept four electric Razor scooters to charge, Glew said. She banged on the window, and saw a young adult wearing dark colors leave the premises. She discovered two of the four scooters missing, Glew said. The young adult did not take the charger. ­— Cameron Cook

City taco shop finds new home in Tech By NARMEEN NOORULLAH

the daily northwestern

The Daily Northwestern www.dailynorthwestern.com Editor in Chief Nora Shelly

eic@dailynorthwestern.com

General Manager Stacia Campbell

Amanecer Breakfast Tacos recently launched an outlet in Tech Express, hoping to provide Northwestern students with a healthy and unique breakfast option. Three years ago, Amanecer Breakfast Tacos started in the “tiniest Smart Car in the United States,” expanding to a permanent storefront in central Evanston last year. Co-founder Ana Vela said she is excited about her new location in the Technological Institute. The shop opened on the first day of fall quarter, serving tacos every Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. After living in northern Mexico and San Antonio, Texas, Ana Vela and her husband Mario Vela noticed an obvious lack of breakfast tacos when they first moved to Evanston, she said, so they decided to introduce the concept to the city themselves. Ana Vela said she would sell tacos from her smart car everyday at Northwestern, but during the construction on Sheridan Road, she struggled to keep business up and find a place to park. “Once they stopped, I received a lot of emails and phone calls from students and staff at Northwestern who were used to buying our tacos everyday,” Vela said. “They were just really sad and disappointed.” Since then, Vela has wanted to bring her menu back to Northwestern, she said. When NU’s new food provider, Compass Group, proposed serving her tacos on campus, she “jumped at the opportunity.” Since Tech did not previously have a hot dining option, Vela said she noticed the store often went overlooked by students. However, now that people are aware of their pop-up, the response has been great, she said, particularly from students who first knew of Amanecer Tacos as a food truck. “I’m so excited to be able to have fresh tacos so close to my morning classes!” said Ali Aamir Qureshi, a Weinberg senior. “Evanston and the

Northwestern community have always been very receptive to all cuisines, and I’m certain that Amanecer Taco is going to be a big hit because we really love food.” Vela said she appreciates Compass Group’s accommodation, flexibility and support for local and minority-led businesses. She hopes being more involved with Northwestern will attract investors to support her dream of expanding into Chicago. Interim director of dining Stacey Lynn Brown told The Daily in an email that Tech Express aims to highlight local businesses and expand their brand. “Commitment to variety and the inclusion of local businesses is a top priority for Northwestern Dining,” Brown said. “In keeping with the innovation that the Technology building brings

to Northwestern University, Tech Express will be a great representation of this shared vision and commitment.” Looking ahead to future developments, Brown added that guests will soon be able to enjoy Viet Nom Nom, Asiana Foodville and La Cocinita. Vela said Amanecer Breakfast Tacos is the only company “uniquely positioned” to complement the goals of Tech Express. However, for her, Tech Express is only the beginning of her work with Northwestern. “I am very confident with the popularity that we have had so far that we are going to be doing really well,” Velas said. “My hope is that we do well enough to soon be able to deliver our tacos to other parts of the campus as well!” narmeennoorullah2022@u.northwestern.edu

After Kavanaugh, men must take allyship seriously ALEX SCHWARTZ

OPINION EDITOR

I got the notification on my phone in the middle of a meeting on Saturday afternoon — the one telling me they’d confirmed him. Normally, my guttural reaction to bad news is some kind of righteous anger. I project myself outward, positively or negatively searching for a face or name to stab blame into like a tack on a corkboard. I think of next steps, I draft a post, then I almost always — and for the better — delete it. But that fury and passion didn’t overtake me this time. What I felt was much more insidious: fear. Bone-chilling, face-flushing fear. Fear that clogs your brain with thick, dirty crude, muddling your thoughts and making you wonder whether the room just got darker and colder and tinier, or if it’s just you. Fear is worse than anger because it swallows up your energy. You don’t want to fight anymore; you just want to hide. Obviously, much of this fear was secondhand: for my family, friends and acquaintances who are women, who are LGBTQ, who are survivors of sexual assault and who regularly face harassment and discrimination because

they were unlucky enough not to be born looking like me. I’m scared for them, truly. To my fellow men who are decent human beings (not “heroes” — decent human beings), I’m sure you may be scared for your peers, too. But more than being scared, men can and must be helpful. We must do everything in our power to support women and survivors. There are the obvious things: march, vote, empower others to march and vote, donate to charities and the campaigns of progressive people who will run the cowards out of office. We to turn our fear into fury, and our fury into action. Aren’t you sick of this? Sick of the ugliness you feel as you go through life knowing that, amid all this chaos, you have relatively little to worry about? Wake up, men, and realize that this moment is not an anomaly but a grotesque display of some truly evil forces woven into the very fabric of this country. These forces work to keep us in power; therefore, we must work against them. I don’t worry about getting followed as I walk alone at night. I don’t worry that someone will slip something into my drink. I don’t worry that someone will pull me into a room and cover my mouth. I don’t worry that I’ll have to live with something so horrific for the rest of my life. I don’t worry that no one will believe me. I don’t have to worry, and that disgusts me to my core. So I will not

merely dismantle the systems that keep me comfortable while others suffer; I will obliterate them. Righteous anger is a powerful thing, but it is not all we should put our energy towards; we should turn some of our fear into compassion. When things go wrong in politics at a national level, we shift focus to mitigating their effects locally. Now, we need to work at an even smaller scale by taking care of each other. Ask your friends who are women and/ or survivors if they’re doing O.K. Tell them you’re here for them. Tell them you believe them. Be there for them. Sit with them. Give them space. Bake them cookies. Play music. Make face masks. Go hiking. And listen to them. Listen to them vent, cry, crack jokes, rant, sing — no matter how articulate or incoherent. Validate them. Hear them. See them. Show up for them. Don’t speak over them. See them as humans whose jobs are neither to detail their suffering to you nor to spare your feelings as they cope with injustice. And as life gets harder for women and their necessary healthcare becomes restricted, you need to be prepared to drive them to abortion clinics, help them acquire birth control and assist them financially and emotionally. Check yourself and check each other. Examine your biases, and think about how

you behave around genders that aren’t your own. Stop yourself from taking control of a situation that isn’t yours to control. Work on your relationship with healthy masculinity. Verbalize your opposition to rape culture and misogyny wherever (and I mean wherever) you see it. Now is not the time to be polite; now is the time to be ruthless. Do not give your friends, coworkers or family members the luxury of shrugging off their bigotry, whether casual or overt. Call them out, educate them if you are able (or direct them to resources) and move on — with or without them. Be advocates; take as much of the burden of discourse off of women and survivors as you can — they should not have to defend their right to exist equally. It’s time for men to become more selfaware, to stop suppressing discussions of our privilege and to start actively fighting the system that brought us to this moment in history. It’s time to do something productive with our fear. Alex Schwartz is a Medill junior. He can be contacted at alexschwartz@u.northwestern.edu.

Don’t let your food exploration end with Big Bite Night NORA SHELLY

EDITOR IN CHIEF

Although it may have gone unnoticed by some, Sunday was the best day of the year. A day when Northwestern came together to celebrate something so wholesome that cars didn’t even seem to mind the hordes of college students blindly jaywalking all around Evanston. I’m not talking about Dillo Day — you could describe that day in a lot of words, but wholesome probably wouldn’t be one of them. I’m talking about Big Bite Night, the most “neutral good” day of the year. If you missed it, Big Bite Night really occurs in the afternoon, for two glorious hours one Sunday a year. Dozens of local businesses — 33 this year — set up tables and … give away free food. That’s it. No strings attached. And restaurants don’t just give out their leftovers or worst-selling items, either. I was pumped as ever for Big Bite Night this year, and even started to get a “BIG BITE NIGHT” chant going while waiting in the check-in line outside Whole Foods. No one else joined in — I guess I wasn’t saying it loud enough? While my fellow transplant Evanstonians may not have matched my enthusiasm for the event, I still had a good time. At Todoroki, I indulged on fried rice, a dumpling, a spring roll and two different pieces of sushi. I followed that up with a sampling

of a pretzel with beer cheese from World of Beer, a cookie from Potbelly and fries from Edzo’s. I may have also snagged a Banh Mi sandwich from Viet Nom Nom and I recall a certain chicken rice bowl from Naf Naf Grill making its way into my hand. My memories are hazy because I spent most of my hour at Big Bite Night talking — and sometimes

shouting — about how much I loved it. I’ve been four years in a row, although I am fully aware the point of Big Bite Night is for new students to try out different Evanston restaurants. I just love it so much. Big Bite Night is great — possibly the best — but don’t let one day of the year be the end of your exploration of Evanston. The

city is filled with businesses who want to serve their community, Northwestern students included. Also on Sunday afternoon, D&D Finer Food’s, the anchor of Noyes Street, celebrated 45 years in business with an Oktober Feast, featuring an ambiguously large pumpkin, food and t-shirt giveaways and alcohol tasting. The store’s owners even donated $500 to the YWCA to mark the occasion. There are a lot of great businesses within walking distance of campus, D&D’s being just one of them. But there are dozens of others just out of the radius most Northwestern undergrads stick to. South and west of campus and downtown, there are dozens of businesses that don’t often see someone with a Northwestern sweatshirt walk through the door. So, especially if you’re a first-year student, don’t hesitate to bike, walk or even take the El (the Purple Line doesn’t exist solely to transport you to Howard!) to other places in Evanston. Norbucks is great, but another coffee shop in a different part of town may give you the space and distance from other NU students (we’re a lot) to really get some studying done. There are WildCard deals all over, so seek some out and savor all Evanston has to offer — there are many more bites to be had. Nora Shelly is a Medill senior.

Medill, BGA to partner on environmental reporting By ERIC RYNSTON-LOBEL

the daily northwestern @EricR_L

The Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications announced a collaboration Sept. 26 with the Better Government Association to provide graduate students with experience in investigative journalism, particularly relating to environmental issues. Three graduate students will be selected by Medill and BGA, a nonpartisan, nonprofit news organization based in Chicago. Students will work alongside BGA journalists to conduct in-depth investigative reporting, using data analytics and public records requests. “It’s about providing information that’s in the public’s interest,” said Charles Whitaker, interim dean of Medill. “We see with issues like water crisis in Flint, Michigan, and lots of other environmental crises, manmade and otherwise, that it’s in the public’s interest to be well-informed about ways the government may or may not have contributed to those events.” Whitaker said BGA initially reached out to Medill about the collaboration. Given BGA’s investigative work and journalism objectives, Whitaker said it felt like a “natural alliance.” “They look more journalistic than a simple watchdog group,” Whitaker said. “If objectives of both journalism and the BGA is to shine light on problems … it makes sense for us to team up.” John Chase, BGA’s director of investigations, said it is the first time the organization has had such a partnership with a university. “We’re excited about it,” he said. “But it’s also going to be a learning experience, so there’s a little bit of learning as we go along on what the students are going to do, how we’re going to be working with the students.” Students will work in the BGA office once a week and go out on assignment with reporters. The goal, Chase said, is to prepare them for work

For recent Northwestern graduate David Gernon (Medill ’18), there was little time to reflect on his years as a Northwestern student before jumping into his new role as a news associate for CNBC. Since September, the 22-year-old has been in the thick of the Brooklyn-based network’s

once they graduate. Medill Prof. Abigail Foerstner — who helped create the Medill graduate environmental reporting focus — said it was a “gift” for her to help foster a new generation of environmental reporters through this collaboration. “We want to make sure that we can tell the stories that people have confronted and that they want to share, and that we want to inform people who may not be aware of these situations, and

watchdog reporting can do both,” Foerstner said. “Our partnership with with the Better Government Association will give students an opportunity to pursue stories like that.” Foerstner witnessed the harsh environmental issues facing residents on the San Blas Islands of Panama, when she visited with undergraduate students. She said within the next 20 years, San Blas residents will be forced to leave their homes due to rapidly rising water levels.

“It’s critical to have this new generation of environmental reporters who understand the science, who understand policy and politics, and can kind of bridge that gap between some of the technical issues and some of the science,” Foerstner said. “It’s critical for us to tell these stories and to let people know that climate change is now and that the urgency is now.”

fast-paced environment and is currently working in the television department, focusing primarily on reporting finance news. Gernon said he gets a “fun rush of adrenaline” working at CNBC. At CNBC, Gernon works on segments such as “Power Lunch,” which provides viewers with a brief overview on the financial market, real estate, media and technology. The segment gives Gernon a “chance to be creative,” he said. Gernon said he followed in the footsteps of other Medill graduates who worked at CNBC. “I interned there after my junior year as a (National Association of Hispanic Journalists)

fellow, which was the same thing the NAHJ president AJ Vielma at the time had done his junior summer,” Gernon said, “And then they offered me the news associate position at the end of the summer for the following year.” Gernon is currently on the network’s rotational program, which allows each associate to experience all departments, such as breaking news and online coverage. Medill classes, Gernon’s role as editor-inchief at Northwestern’s “Politics & Policy” online publication and involvement with WNUR and Inside NU impacted his decision

to stay in journalism after graduation. He also minored in economics, which he said helped him stay interested in the finance aspect of his position at CNBC. Gernon’s quick landing at CNBC just months after graduating offers hope for students who are on currently on the job search, and the young alum said he encourages students to “listen to their gut instinct.” “I really like where I am,” Gernon remarked. “I could see myself here for a while.”

of carbon dioxide companies can release on a yearly basis. She also expressed her support for a carbon tax. “A well-designed carbon tax would pay for energy prices by returning the revenue that is generated to consumers,” Schakowsky said, “and it could lead to the creation of brand new technologies in energy, clean energy technologies, good paying jobs and jobs that would stimulate economic growth.” The town hall comes a day after the United Nations released a report stating that keeping global warming from rising above 1.5 degrees Celsius would require a 40 percent to 50 percent reduction in emissions in the next 12 years — a

26 percent of black students participate. However, those statistics do not capture participation in athletics or fine arts. Finally, Keith Robinson, the associate principal for education services, told the board that the number of suspensions decreased 29 percent in 2016-2017 to 20172018. He added that disciplinary actions decreased 35 percent over the same time period. Over the last nine years, the number of students who have received a suspension has gone down by 46 percent. Robinson said there has been a

goal the report says will be difficult to achieve. Rev. Eileen Wiviott, an assistant minister at the Unitarian Church of Evanston, introduced Schakowsky. She told attendees that while the report details an ambitious target, she hopes it can be achieved. “That report also made clear that it is not too late,” Wiviott said, “and that there are ways to move policy even on the local level that can have an impact.” Loyola University political science Prof. John Frendreis, who also spoke at the town hall, commended the United States’ decision to ratify the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change treaty of 1992, but criticized the Kyoto Protocol of 1997 for not giving developing nations enough responsibility in addressing climate change.

He added that while significant environmental regulations have passed under both Republican and Democratic U.S. presidents, there was a Democratic majority in Congress each time. He said electing a Democratic majority to Congress again could end “the war on climate change research” and promote renewable energy via tax policy. Schakowsky praised Evanston for being an active community, saying political activism is the “lifeblood” of democracy. She encouraged the crowd to vote in the midterm elections, which are less than a month away. “Change can happen,” Schakowsky said, “and it can happen really soon, like in 29 days.”

school-wide effort to focus on the disproportionality of black male students who receive disciplinary actions, and he said the school has seen “a dramatic decrease” over the past few years: Disciplinary actions and suspensions involving black male students have fallen from 952 in 2015-2016 to 656 in 2017-2018. Thirty-two percent of disciplinary actions involving black males are categorized as “disruptive acts,” and a further 23 percent fall under “defiance of authority,” making those two categories the two largest. Moving forward, Robinson said, a subcommittee will review what kind of incidents fall under those two categories.

“We want to tell the story of what exactly is a disruptive act, what exactly is a defiance of authority, so we can really target reductions,” he said. Many board members said though the statistics weren’t perfect, they were excited by the school’s progress in reducing inequity. Board member Mark Metz said these low suspension levels seemed nearly impossible when he joined the board in 2009. “I would’ve been afraid to hope that we could’ve achieved the kind of productions and results that we’ve achieved so far,” Mentz said. “This is such good news.”

self-funded demolition of the Harley Clarke mansion in favor of green space during a May City Council meeting. The group plans to fund the demolition of the building entirely, leaving no cost to the city, and provide an additional $100,000 for landscaping costs once a design of the space is approved. City staff will now move forward with a memorandum of understanding with Evanston Lighthouse Dunes to cover the demolition of the mansion, according to city documents. On Aug. 31, the city filed a certificate of appropriateness with the Preservation Commission to move forward with the demolition. The issue will once again be brought before residents in the form of a non-binding citizen advisory referendum on the November ballot. According to city documents, the referendum asks if the city should “protect from demolition and preserve the landmark Harley Clarke building and gardens next to Lighthouse Beach,” and keep it as public property at “minimal or no cost to taxpayers.” karisch@u.northwestern.edu

been prevalent for years are now coming to the forefront,” said Serene Singh, executive director of Sexual Health and Assault Peer Educators. As the #MeToo movement approaches its one-year anniversary, the student body has galvanized to combat sexual violence and misconduct. At a community dialogue with administrators last week, students in attendance discussed at length their concerns and pleaded for University action. In response to questions about the University’s approach to addressing the issue, Sarah Wake, the interim associate vice president for equity, announced several new measures aimed at prevention. “We are trying to do more proactive outreach, and not just reactive to things, but really get out in front of the community and talk about places where we can go,” she said. But many in the room expressed discontent, ending in a tense back-and-forth between Kelly Schaefer, the assistant vice president for student engagement, and a student who was unsatisfied with Schaefer’s response to her concerns. The community dialogue was the first test for administrators, who many feel are out of touch with students. Only time will tell whether its new initiatives, including a sexual assault prevention task force and annual student sexual misconduct training, will leave students content. “This issue will be adequately addressed when victims of sexual assault feel comfortable reporting and then after that is achieved, we should get to a point where there are zero sexual assaults at Northwestern,” Sky Patterson, the Associated Student Government president, said on behalf of herself and ASG executive vice president Emily Ash. “We should at least try to get to zero reported sexual assaults but keep in mind that this does not mean the issue is completely resolved because not everyone reports,” she added. “Northwestern needs to be a place where survivors feel listened to, supported, believed, and safe enough to report.” Administrators seem to understand that concern, with repeated reminders that a Title IX report does not warrant a disciplinary process and promotions of confidential resources, including counselors at Counseling and Psychological Services. But even those efforts have come under criticism. Many students disapprove of the University’s Title IX process, including its recent revision to allow for a possibly extended timeline, and have long called for additional funds to the Center for Awareness, Response and Education, which currently sits without a director. Patricia Telles-Irvin, the vice president for student affairs, said last week that NU would seek out candidates for the position. Student affairs staff has always bore the brunt of student support — many report understaffing and a high level of work. With the top-level University leadership increasingly weighing in on issues affecting students, the question is what role they take in that support. As for holding perpetrators accountable, administrators say there’s only so much the University could legally do. “Protecting people’s rights is obviously really important, but making people feel safe and be safe is at least as important, isn’t it?” asked University President Morton Schapiro. “So it’s really tough to weigh at. And we try to do it.” Ultimately, however, student leaders have taken much of the responsibility, and don’t see much of a role for direct support from Northwestern administrators. “Student leaders such as myself in survivor-centric advocacy groups have and will continue to urge the university to increase their support for CARE, and I believe that this is the only way for higher-level administrators to take part in these efforts to address students’ concerns,” Singh said. aperez@u.northwestern.edu

NU falls to Terrapins for second-straight defeat By CHARLIE GOLDSMITH

daily senior staffer @2021_Charlie

After Sunday’s 2-1 loss at Maryland, coach Michael Moynihan and senior midfielder Marisa Viggiano could not even believe they were having this conversation. How — for the second year in a row — had Northwestern lost to one of the worst teams in the Big Ten, and put its nearly-secured qualification for the postseason in jeopardy? Moynihan and Viggiano spent a good deal of time after the game Sunday just trying to make sense of how the No. 14 Wildcats (8-4-2, 2-4-1 Big Ten) lost Thursday to Rutgers and again Sunday at Maryland. “We’re in a similar place, but (this year) I just don’t get it,” Moynihan said. “We’re playing so good, dominating these games and losing.” After losing 1-0 at Illinois at the same point in the year last season and dropping to seventh place, goalkeeper Lauren Clem brought the team together and privately criticized its lack of intensity and poor execution. She scheduled extra conditioning, video sessions and scouting, desperate to find a way out of this slump and back into the postseason. The Cats responded by winning six straight games and advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. This season, Moynihan thinks that extra anxiety is not necessary even after losing to the Terrapins (4-7-4,

2-4-1), the team with the third-worst record in the Big Ten. Moynihan said unlike during their losing streak last season, the Cats have outplayed their opponents in every aspect. Sixteen minutes into the game, Maryland shocked NU when forward Jarena Harmon received a pass at the top of the goal box and without hesitating, turned and fired a shot over the arms of freshman goalkeeper Mackenzie Wood. Eighteen minutes later, midfielder Loren Sefcik dribbled down the right wing and, with an extremely narrow angle at the goal, nailed the far left side of the net for the second goal of the game. Moynihan said he had “no idea” how the Terrapins were able to execute as well as they did on their two chances. “Those were their only shots,” Moynihan said. “We knew what was coming, but those two shots were unbelievable. I’d give either of them 50 chances and I don’t think they’d ever hit it again.” At halftime, down 2-0, Moynihan said he wasn’t concerned about how the last 45 minutes played out and made just one minor adjustment, switching to a 3-5-2 scheme to better control possession in the midfield. “They left huge gaps on their lines, they didn’t track well, there was all

sorts of space on the ball, and we figured we’d be able to exploit that,” Moynihan said. “We felt like we were going to be in the game, that we were stronger by a good margin.” Senior forward Brenna Lovera scored in the 53rd minute, heading Viggiano’s uncontested cross from the left corner past Maryland goalkeeper Rachel Egyed, and NU outshot the Terrapins 21-8 in the game. But the Cats could not level the score, even though Maryland did not have a single meaningful chance to extend their lead in the second half. It was a similar story as Thursday’s loss, where NU outshot Rutgers 20-8 and controlled possession for the majority of the game but lost 1-0 in overtime. Currently sitting in 10th place, the Cats have four games remaining before the conference tournament to improve their standing. Only the top eight qualify teams in the conference, but NU’s four remaining games are against opponents projected at the beginning of the season to finish in the bottom half of the conference. After Sunday ’s loss, Lovera responded like a player who’s been in more difficult and nerve-racking situations than NU finds itself in currently. “We really outplayed our last opponents, and we know that we’re capable of winning our last four games,” Lovera said. “We really like (our situation). This is what can define us as a team and show what we’re made of.” charliegoldsmith2021@u.northwestern.edu

Wildcats drop game to Buckeyes NU, DePaul set for By GREG SVIRNOVSKIY

the daily northwestern @GSvirnovskiy

It was a game with massive implications. At risk, a home seed in the Big Ten tournament. There was no question the stakes were high for No. 12 Northwestern’s battle with No. 25 Ohio State. And there was reason for optimism. Hosting a team with a sub .500 conference record, the pieces looked in place for the Wildcats. But they didn’t come together. “We just didn’t take it to them today,” coach Tracey Fuchs said. “Hats off to them, but disappointed in our performance for sure.” NU (8-6, 3-2 Big Ten) lost 2-1 to Ohio State (7-6, 3-3) on Friday afternoon, despite a goal from senior midfielder Puck Pentenga and assists from sophomore midfielder Christen Conley and junior defender Kristen Mansfield. “We definitely had some chances,” Fuchs said. “We definitely should have had one that was a gimme that we didn’t. Sometimes they just don’t fall. I know we’ll be ready to come back Monday and get ready for next week’s weekend series.”

NU struggled out of the gate, taking two shots compared to the Buckeyes’ three in the opening 35-minute frame. Both teams had chances, but neither could find the back of the net. For the Cats, the biggest opportunity came when Pentenga’s shot off of a penalty corner was deflected in front of the goal in the middle of the period. The Buckeyes’ biggest first half chance came in the closing minutes, when freshman Sina Schwinn’s ranging run from midfield resulted in a scramble in front of goal. After the half, offense came flowing in full force. Ohio State, which is yet to lose a game this season by more than one goal, struck first in the game’s 44th minute. Senior Kelsey Nolan’s movement deep in NU territory created space on the left for Genevieve Penzone to slap home her first of the year. Fuchs said the Buckeyes’ scrappy play helped them take down the Cats despite

their lack of star talent. “They played a great game,” Fuchs said. “They may not have many superstars but they played as a team today and were fortunate enough to get the win.” NU roared back just under two minutes later, as Pentenga’s shot from just inside the shooting circle reached the back of the net to tie the game at one. After Conley collected Mansfield’s pass from the penalty corner, she slipped the ball to Pentegna who ripped home her ninth goal of the season. While Pentenga has been a fixture for the Cats on penalty corners, Fuchs said the team needs to find ways to score that don’t involve the penalty spot. “We’ve been scoring most of our corners through her even if she doesn’t get the ball,” Fuchs said. “We didn’t come out with the right energy or work ethic today. Corners are great, we needed to generate more and we’ll work on that next week.” Esther Clotet’s late second half strike put the Buckeyes ahead for good just as it seemed the Cats were growing into the game. Clotet, who scored her sixth goal of the year, slapped the ball into the Northwestern net off of a penalty corner, one of three such opportunities the Buckeyes had all game. Pentenga said the Cats came out with renewed energy in the second half. But it began to wear off. “I think we started off well but we just had to get going,”Pentegna said.“I think the energy went down in the second part of the first half and that’s when they scored on us.” Despite NU’s recent struggles against ranked teams, Pentenga added she’s confident in their ability to succeed against top competition. “We’ve struggled against top-20 teams before,” Pentegna said. “We really need to just get down, prepare, get ready, and show that we’re better than them. Next weekend is a really good opportunity to do that.” gregorysvirnovskiy2022@u.northwestern. edu

match Tuesday night By ANDREW GOLDEN

the daily northwestern @andrewcgolden

Northwestern will take a break from conference play as it faces DePaul in a matchup of Chicago rivals. The Wildcats (4-5-3, 0-3-2 Big Ten) have not won a game since Sept. 9 against University of Missouri-Kansas City. Meanwhile, the Blue Demons (4-6-1, 1-2-1 Big East) come into the game on a four-game winless streak. One of their losses included crosstown rival Loyola who Northwestern beat earlier in the season. Sophomore goalie Miha Miskovic said it would be great to get a victory against both of NU’s Chicago rivals. “Well, there’s always the Chicago Cup in the spring, but this is a cup that actually matters,” Miskovic said. “We already have a win against Loyola and now against DePaul coming up, hopefully we can win the Chicago Cup.” DePaul relies on its midfielders to supply the bulk of its offense. Junior Zach El-Shafei, senior Bryan Simons and sophomore Istvan Wilhelms are the Blue Demons’ top three scorers. Of DePaul’s 11 goals this season, the trio has combined to score seven of them. The Cats will look to counter the Blue Demons’ attack with their own rejuvenated offense. Despite not pulling off a victory in almost a month, NU played one of its best games of the season on Saturday against Penn State. For just the third time this season, the Cats outshot their opponent. NU took 17 shots and created plenty of opportunities to score. In overtime, Northwestern took three shots and Ty Seager almost converted a header into a game-winner goal, but it missed high. In their previous four games, the

DePaul vs. Northwestern Evanston, Illinois 7 p.m. Tuesday

Cats had a combined 19 shot compared to 58 for their opponents. “I think for the first time we generated some chances,” coach Tim Lenahan said on Saturday. “You can’t work on finishing when you’re not generating chances.” Even with a bevy of chances, NU could not break through to score a goal, extending its goalless drought to over 335 minutes. The last time the Cats scored was almost two weeks ago against No. 2 Indiana when junior midfielder Matt Moderwell scored on a cross from six yards out. Lenahan said NU will work on finishing chances in practice leading up to their game on Tuesday. The Cats will also have the luxury of being able to use the full extent of their roster on Tuesday in order to keep their legs fresh. “(The) good thing is, knock on wood, we have all 24 of our players healthy for the first time since the first twenty minutes of Cleveland State,” Lenahan said. “We gotta use some different bodies and guys have been waiting for their chances here a little bit, it’s go time.” Regardless of who sees playing time for NU, Miskovic said he knows both teams are hungry for a win to end their current abysmal stretches. “That’s the derby. That’s a Chicago team, so it’s going to be a big game,” Miskovic said. “We have to get a win in these next couple games, so we’re going to give our 100 and try to and hopefully win.” andrewgolden2021@u.northwestern.edu
