Nonprofit plans new bid for Harley Clarke The group’s prepping a new proposal for the lakefront mansion By SAMANTHA HANDLER

daily senior staffer @sn_handler

Following City Council’s sudden denial of the group’s proposal to take over the Harley Clarke Mansion last year, the nonprofit formerly known as Evanston Lakehouse and Gardens is coming back with a new plan. The group — now called Evanston Community Lakehouse and Gardens — has been preparing a new proposal to determine the use of the Harley Clarke mansion, 2603 Sheridan Rd., in response to the city’s third request for proposals period, which ends in February. The nonprofit previously submitted a response to the city in 2018, which was denied and set the city on a course to demolish the historic lakefront mansion. Members of the group also rallied to get a referendum on the ballot last November, which resulted in 80 percent of voters favoring preserving the mansion for public use, a result that is not legally binding. In the spring, the nonprofit held a series of community engagement meetings where residents could express what activities or

uses they wanted to see at the property. “Our approach this time is going to be a little bit different because it’s going to be much more oriented around what we heard from the community,” said Emily Guthrie, the president of Evanston Community Lakehouse and Gardens. “We submitted a response to a proposal in the spring of 2018. So this is going to be different — not a lot different, but enough different.” The new plan includes input from Evanston residents on what they want to incorporate in the 37,700-square-foot estate, including a bird sanctuary, art classes, theater, exercise classes and performances, Guthrie said. She added that the community engagement sessions generated about 250 ideas, resulting in the nonprofit adding the word “community” to its name. The city’s new request for proposal calls for nonprofits, individuals, and for-profit organizations to submit plans for the mansion, coach house, or both, according to city documents. The city also requires the proposals to include a public component as well as a “substantial renovation” of the property that still maintains both its historic character and the Jens Jensen Gardens.

that were also low-income, firstgeneration students at an elite institution, but his experiences drove him to a different question: “What does it mean to be a poor student on a rich-student campus?” Jack, who is now an assistant professor of education at Harvard University, explores that very question in his latest book “The Privileged Poor: How Elite

Colleges Are Failing Disadvantaged Students.” In recognition of his work, the School of Education and Social Policy invited Jack to speak at Alice Millar Chapel on Wednesday to about 150 people. Jack is the seventh speaker of the Nancy and Ray Loeschner Leadership Series, which invites “visionary leaders” in education, SESP Dean David Figlio said.

ASG puts forth resolution on pronouns City to take new Resolution aimed at standardizing name and pronoun usage at NU By YUNKYO KIM

the daily northwestern @yunkyomoonk

Associated Student Government introduced a resolution Wednesday that supports a Spring 2019 Faculty Senate legislation to standardize name and pronoun usage across University platforms. The resolution calls for the administration to take immediate steps to establish a database system of preferred pronouns and names, with the choice to optout for privacy. The information, in turn, will transfer to the University’s class rosters, CAESAR, Canvas, online directory, email servers and Wildcard systems. If put to action, Adam Davies, co-author of the resolution and ASG executive vice president, said the resolution will improve the experience of the nonbinary and gender-nonconforming population at Northwestern. “I’m excited about this legislation,” the SESP senior said. “This legislation will just be another additional word of weight to hopefully have some

The last municipal election cycle in Evanston was fraught with confusion about filing dates, primaries and an old referendum that got lost in the shuffle. Now, as the 2021 election creeps closer, Evanston officials must find a way to avoid the chaos and sort out the city’s primary policies. “Unequivocally, we need to make sure our rules are as clear as possible,” said Mayor Steve Hagerty, who ran back in 2017. “We need to be clear for all future candidates that are running for office here, so that no one is removed from the ballot on a technicality.” Candidates for the 2017 election were slated to file their paperwork in December 2016, in anticipation of a general election in April. However, one candidate — former 9th Ward alderman Brian

Miller, who was then launching a bid for mayor — submitted his filing paperwork in November, a full month earlier than city officials had specified. He cited a referendum passed in Evanston in 1992 which requires a primary to be held in mayoral races with two or more candidates. In 2017, there were five mayoral candidates on the ballot. Once Miller submitted his paperwork, three other candidates also rushed to file: Hagerty, former Evanston Township supervisor Gary Gaspard and former 6th Ward alderman Mark Tendam. Hagerty said he immediately turned to an election lawyer to better understand what was going on with the filing process, and other candidates did the same. A supporter of Miller’s, William Arnt, sought to kick a number of candidates off the ballot for not filing for the February primary, but his objections were overruled by the board of elections. “It was frustrating,” Hagerty told The Daily earlier this month. “It was frustrating as a candidate.

AROUND TOWN Sustain Evanston recognizes 17 local businesses By EMMA EDMUND

daily senior staffer @emmaeedmund

Sustain Evanston, a program that seeks to promote sustainability in Evanston companies, recognized 17 businesses in 2019 for environmentally friendly practices. The program, which launched after City Council passed the Climate Action and Resilience Plan, seeks to recognize Evanston businesses that have taken steps to become more sustainable and help achieve the city’s goals of carbon neutrality, zero waste and renewable electricity, according to its website. Restaurants and office or retail businesses are open to join the program, which rewards recognized businesses with $250. Alyson Wright, Evanston’s sustainable business fellow, said the program acts as an alternative for smaller businesses, in comparison to more expensive national and state programs that are designed for larger businesses. Interested companies are given a checklist of 20 items, and must complete 10, including the required steps of providing clear sorting for recycling and achieving a 50 percent recycling diversion rate for both restaurants and offices/retailers, as well as implementing a composting program for restaurants. “A great way to get businesses involved and be sustainable is through kind of an incentive, versus doing anything like an ordinance,” Wright said. “This can be more fun, more exciting. It’s a better way to reach people.”

POLICE BLOTTER Attempted theft at Jewel-Osco

A 21-year-old manager at the Jewel-Osco located at 1128 Chicago Ave. reported a theft of $31.98 in alcohol around 5:15 p.m. on Tuesday. The manager told the officer who responded that she observed a man wearing a backpack taking two bottles of liquor from the shelf and go to the restroom. She said that when he left the

Backlot Coffee, 2006 Central St. Backlot Coffee received Sustain Evanston recognition, and it will continue its sustainable practices at its third location.

Businesses also receive a decal to place on their storefront indicating they are a Sustain Evanston business. Sustain Evanston follows in the footsteps of sustainable actions already taken by some Evanston businesses. Backlot Coffee, for example, got rid of plastic straws back in April 2018 and had begun composting as well. “The Sustain Evanston was everything we were already doing,” said John Kim, co-founder of Backlot.

“We just needed to show that we were already doing it.” Backlot Coffee was one of only two restaurants recognized in 2019, with Kombucha Brava snagging the other recognition. Kim said he wants to continue to reduce the waste associated with a typical coffee shop and encourage customers not to throw things away. Wright said in the future, the city hopes to target more sit-down restaurants for the program, but that

While en route to the Jewel, an officer stopped a subject at the south end of the Jewel parking lot who matched the description and found the two

bottles of liquor in his backpack, Glew said. He was issued a citation for retail theft.

the city understands there can be barriers to completing the program, such as time and space limitations. “We realized that a large barrier that some businesses actually face in being sustainable is that they rent their space,” Wright said. “They don’t have the option to make changes like installing LED lighting.” To address these changes, the city slightly tweaked the program’s checklist after its pilot run to make it more accessible. For Laura Demke-Calixte, the CEO and president of Electronic Processing of North America, LLC, the process of getting Sustain Evanston recognition was a “fun journey.” She said her company started small and stopped bagging the terminals and supplies it sells to merchants, and started serving coffee in ceramic cups at meetings. She recommends that companies looking to begin the sustainability process start with small, easy actions. “(Make) sure you do the easy stuff right away to make it not so daunting,” she said. “Just doing the things that maybe come easy to you, and start pricing things out as well. When you think about the environment and the sustainability of it all, things could be more expensive. Not all the time, but they could be.” The city is hoping to incorporate more types of businesses into Sustain Evanston in the future, Wright said. She said she’s received interest from a landscaping company, a construction company and a home office. Wright said the city hopes to restart the program in January 2020.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Dexter Filkins of the New Yorker on Wednesday reflected on his experience as an international reporter covering the Middle East. Filkins spoke at the opening ceremony for the new Weinberg College Center for International and Area Studies to a crowd of several hundred attendees. Political science Prof. Ian Hurd said this center has combined all the international-related research, classes and events going on in Weinberg on a college level. The center will focus on two tracks: undergraduate programs for regional studies will now be bundled under it and there will be further support for interdisciplinary research conducted by Northwestern faculty. Hurd said he sees “the potential for us to expand to other fields in the future.” Medill Prof. Peter Slevin introduced Filkins and moderated Wednesday’s conversation. “Filkins was in Afghanistan the last time the Taliban were in charge, was in Iraq when the war was at its worst and was a close friend of murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi,” Slevin said. Because of his experience as a journalist in the Middle East, parts of Filkin’s talk focused particularly on the recent developments in northern Syria. He showed concern that the ceasefire in Northern Syria was of no substance, simply allowing the Turkish forces to “reload.” “Wherever the Turks and the Kurds are together, it is a disaster,” said Filkins. “First of all, the Turks are a NATO-trained army, the second-largest army in Europe, and they are really really good at killing people. And they are going to kill the Kurds.” Not just the Turkish, but also the Syrian Army, which is under the command of dictator Bashar al-Assad, is moving into the area from which U.S. forces retreated, Filkins said. He also got the rare opportunity to conduct an interview with Assad, which turned out to be less

revealing than he expected. “It was a boring press event of rows of Syrian ministers telling us, ‘Why does the world hate us?’” Filkins said. “Then someone asked me, ‘Do you want to meet the president?’” He said that while you prepare for a monster, what you get is just your regular ophthalmologist, Assad’s trained profession. “My first question was ‘What does it feel like to be a war criminal?’ and there was just no reaction,” he said. “Assad is boring.” Closer to home, Filkins spoke about the inner workings of the Trump administration. Though Filkins wasn’t able to provide many names — due to confidentiality — he said that former Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis “simply ignored” President Donald Trump’s proposal to pull U.S. troops out of South Korea. The tensions between the Pentagon and the White House are nothing new, he said, and though

it may have prevented harm to the U.S. strategy in the region and U.S. allies this time, the Pentagon’s ignoring of orders from the commander in chief is fundamentally worrying. The Korean case was not unlike the proposal to pull out of Syria, Filkins said, when Trump requested “several options” from the Pentagon to respond to Assad’s chemical weapons attack on his own people in 2017. The Pentagon ended up reporting back with just one option: a ballistic missile strike. Though Filkins holds a critical opinion on the U.S. involvement in the Middle East, he said he sees no good way out of it either. “We can’t leave, and we can’t stay,” he said. “We became part of the organism of Iraq, and this organism doesn’t function without us anymore. At some point we will have to leave, and it ain’t going to be pretty.” hoeller@u.northwestern.edu

The cast of “Machinal.” The play, which opens at Wirtz Oct. 25, is one of the cornerstones of the expressionist theater movement.

Alumna directs Wirtz’s main stage show ‘Machinal’ By AHLAAM MOLEDINA

the daily northwestern @_ahlaamm

As Northwestern University celebrates 150 years of women on campus, the Virginia Wadsworth Wirtz Center for the Performing Arts looks forward to exploring femininity and gender roles in an electrifying new production of “Machinal.” Directed by Jaclyn Biskup (Communication MFA ’10), “Machinal” will open Wirtz’s 20192020 programming season, titled “Love and Power.” It will premiere on Oct. 25 at the Josephine Louis Theater and run through Nov. 10. Written by journalist and playwright Sophie Treadwell in 1928, the show is inspired by a true story of Ruth Snyder, the first woman to be executed in the U.S. for murdering her husband. Wirtz’s production of “Machinal” will follow Helen Jones, a young stenographer who feels confined by the expectations of her patriarchal

society and attempts to find freedom. Communication junior and cast member Autumn Thelander said “Machinal” depicts the societal and conformist forces which trap women and the consequences of escaping. She said she hopes the audience can critically reflect on the social norms around women. “I’m hopeful that this show will not only get women to think about how they fit into societal and gender roles, but also make other members of the audience think about how they layer these tropes and expectations onto the women they know,” Thelander said. According to Wirtz, “Machinal” is an emblematic piece in the Expressionist theater movement. The play utilizes focuses on using physical movements to convey the emotions of the characters. Thelander is one of the “primary movers” of the show, along with another performer. Biskup’s adaptation of “Machinal” is “considerably futuristic compared to the original piece,”

Thelander added, referring to Biskup’s reimagining of the play through new staging, using physical boxes to represent the boxes people are placed into. As an Emmy and Peabody award nominee, Biskup is most well known for her work on the web series “The Secret Life of Muslims.” Thelander said she sees “Machinal” as an opportunity to learn from the alumna. “It’s super exciting to work with someone who has so many different ideas and experimental processes,” Thelander said. “Her experience brings a calmness to the room if problems arise, but she continues to innovate in many different ways.” Communication freshman Clay Lawhead said he’s excited to see an accomplished alumna return to campus and make large strides. “Even though she’s so accomplished, I imagine it’s difficult to put yourself back into the atmosphere of college kids again,” Lawhead said. “I think it’s really cool how she immersed herself in the talent here.”

Communication freshman Julia Poetzinge, who works at Wirtz’s light and sound shop, had the chance to learn how the lighting operates for the production. She said she particularly noticed how the light is manipulated to contribute to create a hollow, empty feeling for the audience. Poetzinger added that the timing of this production, which comes just as NU celebrates 150 years since women first began being admitted to the university, is an “interesting” coincidence. The freshman said it’s important to reflect on how the notions of gender roles and femininity have changed over time. “I think it’s impactful considering it’s now 150 years of women at Northwestern, and parallels can be drawn because women can still recognize themselves in the show, and still recognize the perceptions of femininity that impact them in their lives today,” Poetzinger said. ahlaammoledina2023@u.northwestern.edu

NPR-inspired a capella concert comes to Evanston By JENNIFER ZHAN

the daily northwestern @jenniferzhann

As a music director for Chicago a capella, Patrick Sinozich (Bienen ’88) always hopes an audience leaves a show thinking that the group sounds great. But for his vocal ensemble’s latest concert series, he wants performances to deliver beyond sound quality alone — he also wants them to be “thought-provoking.” The 10-person ensemble will give its third performance of “American Anthem: Songs that Challenge, Unite and Celebrate,” at Nichols Concert Hall at 3 p.m. on Oct. 26. The show is inspired by and named after an ongoing NPR series that explores music underscoring key moments in the nation’s history. Sinozich describes an anthem as a song that “excites, inspires and educates.” According to Sinozich, “American Anthem” features a wide range of music throughout history, from traditional patriotic tunes to rallying songs from movements for civil, LGBTQ and women’s rights. “The rehearsal process was kind of contained, and we weren’t really sure how people would react,” ensemble member Emily Price (Bienen ’02) said. “Once we put the music in front of an audience, different songs connected with different people. Feeling that energy from the audience has been really, really awesome.” The concert includes short monologues by singers that provide historical context. Sinozich said these introductions can either support or challenge the next piece, giving the audience

room for their own interpretation. Ensemble member Chelsea Lyons (Bienen ’17) said that group’s program coordinator Kathryn Kamp came up with the concert concept and shared materials, including episodes from the NPR series, to help singers understand and prepare for the show. Price said many songs featured were not specifically written to be anthems. For example, the spiritual “Lift Every Voice And Sing,” an anthem of the African American community, was originally written as a poem. “That’s what I find so fascinating about going through all of these songs in one program covering such a vast amount of time – how a song someone might have written just from their heart can make people feel seen or inspire them to stand up for their rights,” Price said. Lyons said for her, one of the most moving moments of the show is an all-female rendition of “Quiet,” a MILCK song that served as an anthem during the 2017 Women’s March on Washington. Lyons added that after performing “Quiet” in Oak Park, five or six women in the audience rose from their seats, applauding. A woman in the front row, she said, was in tears. “I could tell that our performance had meant so much to that audience,” Lyons said. “Everybody in that room (was) at some point probably affected by sexual assault, whether it was themselves or a loved one. The piece really resonated with them that day, and since then that’s kind of been the highlight of the program for me.” Lyons said it’s disappointing that many of the “politically and socially motivated” songs in the show are still relevant today.

She said she hopes audiences take away the idea that the country has come a long way but needs to go even further. “These anthems are part of our history, but they’re also a huge part of our future,” Lyons said. “They need to continue to be a part of us

moving forward so that we can continue to make changes for the better in our society, culture, economy, politics, and ultimately who we are as Americans.” jenniferzhan2022@u.northwestern.edu

Alums feature in ‘New Faces Sing Broadway 1956’ By JANEA WILSON

daily senior staffer @janeaawilson

63 years ago, “My Fair Lady” made its Broadway debut. This month, Grace Bobber (Communication ’19), along with another Northwestern alum, is making her Chicago debut singing a song from “My Fair Lady” in “New Faces Sing Broadway 1956,” a series meant to introduce the next generation of musical theater artists. “New Faces Sing Broadway 1956” started in 1994 and consists of three concerts per year produced by Porchlight Music Theatre. For each show, the director selects arrangements from musicals that debuted during a certain year to take the audience through the entire Broadway season. This upcoming show, featuring music from the 1956 Broadway season, will open at Evanston SPACE on Oct. 29. Director Brianna Borger started as an actress at Porchlight and recently received the opportunity to direct the show. Alongside picking the songs, she also wrote a script for the host, which explains the premise and perception of each musical featured, as well as the songs being featured. While one of the goals of the show is to capture the essence of 1956, Borger said she also wanted to adapt the music to suit her cast. As a music coach,

she worked closely with the show’s music director Charles Larkin to make this happen. “I had all of these ideas (like) I think it’d be nice if we made this song into an all female doo-wop version of what was recently just a Broadway ballad,” Borger said. “We have some very cool unique arrangements of some of the songs in the concert that I’m really excited about.” Performer Ben Barker (Communication ’14) said he is excited to sing musical pieces he was unfamiliar with. One of the songs Barker is performing, “The Country’s in The Very Best of Hands” from the musical “L’il Abner,” deals with bipartisanship. Barker said he’s passionate about politics, and is happy to have two of his interests collide onstage. This is the second show Barker has been in with Porchlight, he said, after playing in “Sweeney Todd” right after he graduated. Having worked with Borger before, Barker said he’s enjoyed getting to know her as a director rather than an actress. “It’s been an ongoing kind of relationship and so it was fun to get to work with Briana in a different capacity as opposed to being a scene partner with her,” Barker said. “Our first rehearsal was really just for music and she’d throw in thoughts and let me know certain things about why she chose a song.” Grace Bobber (Communications ‘19) said “Machinal” gives her an opportunity to explore music she wasn’t familiar with before. Bobber said she’s enjoyed

working with people who are in a similar stage in their career as her and hearing about their journeys. Bobber added that she thinks the show is a great performance opportunity and educational experience. Before this, she’s performed with the Chicago Children’s Theater, and was drawn to the Chicago’s theater scene because of the strong sense of community.

“I know Chicago is going to be the right place for me instead of a New York or LA” Bobber said. “The quality is so high and everyone pretty much knows everyone else. I love the sense of collaboration.” janeawilson2022@u.northwestern.edu

Q&A: Jay Shefsky brings his WTTW show to Studio5 The Daily: Do you have an all-time favorite segment from your show?

By WILSON CHAPMAN

daily senior staffer @wilsonchapman6

For almost 10 years, Evanston resident Jay Shefsky has profiled ordinary Chicago residents with extraordinary passions. As host of WTTW’s “Jay’s Chicago,” Shefsky created hundreds of short-form documentary pieces about people living in the Chicago area. This weekend, Shefsky will host a special event at Studio5 in Evanston, where he’ll discuss his favorite segments from “Jay’s Chicago”. Ahead of the opening, The Daily Northwestern chatted with Shefsky about the stories and the people he’s encountered. The interview has been edited for clarity and brevity. The Daily: You’ve worked at WTTW since 1986. How did you get your start? Shefsky: When I started in 1986, I started totally entry-level. I was very interested in documentaries and kind of attached myself to the guy who was doing a lot of documentaries. I was his associate producer. Then what I did for a long time was make documentaries myself, for Channel 11. My whole career has been at WTTW. I can’t imagine a better place that I could have landed. I grew up in Chicago, and to be able to spend my career telling stories about Chicago has been just a real pleasure for me.

Jay Shefsky. Shefsky, who has hosted his own WTTW show since 2010, will be presenting segments from the show at Studio5 in Evanston this weekend.

in the stories you cover? Shefsky: I like stories that are surprising. I’m definitely drawn to stories about people who are just trying to make the world better, trying to have an impact on the world in small ways or in big ways. I did a story about a guy who spent time in prison for a murder. While he was in prison, he got into yoga. And when he got out of prison, he started teaching yoga on the west side of Chicago. He said, “Gosh, I used to always think that yoga was just a thing for rich white ladies.” So that was both surprising because you don’t expect an ex-con to be teaching yoga. He was just trying to have this impact on his community.

The Daily: What can we expect from your upcoming live show at Studio5? Shefsky: I’ve selected a bunch of my favorite stories to show on a big screen.

Q&A: John Stoops talks switching careers By VY DUONG

daily senior staffer @vyhduong

From an advertising guru to a theater geek, John Stoops made quite a turn. Fresh out of college, Stoops had since worked at the Chicago’s renowned agency Leo Burnett before stumbling upon his newfound passion — improvisational theater. After earning his MBA at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, Stoops founded The Revival, a theater and education company dedicated to showcasing the powerful impacts of improv on and off stage. The Daily Northwestern chatted with Stoops about his performing career and the upcoming workshop with Kellogg students. The interview has been edited for clarity and brevity. The Daily: You moved to Chicago right after college, landed a job at Leo Burnett and stayed in the advertising industry for almost two decades. How did you transition into performing improvisational theater? Stoops: So I moved to the city (when I was) 22 years old, young, broke, new to the area. It was in the HR benefits meeting at Leo Burnett where they said, “Oh, by the way, we pay for improv classes for anyone who’s interested in taking them.”They felt that improv classes could help their employees unleash their creativity. I was not a theater geek. I’d never stepped foot on a stage at that point. But it sounded like a way to meet people and have some fun. So I jumped into these classes, and it really ignited a passion that continues to this day.

The Daily: Improv is often described as unplanned and unscripted. What’s something about improvisational theater that you’re trying to shine a spotlight on with The Revival?

Stoops: One of the things that’s unusual that the life of a PhD is they research, research, research, and then when they’re ready to take the next step, they have to go out into the world and share their work. So we’re working with them hands on to help them refine their message and deliver it using their bodies and voices as instruments to capture the attention of an audience. Next week, we’re working with a group of master students who are new to the program. When folks are coming to campus for the first time, what we’re going to work with in that instance, is building camaraderie within this group of fellows.

The Daily: What does your series reveal about Chicago? Shefsky: I came to this because of an assumption that there are a lot of great stories in Chicago and a lot of people doing amazing work that we never hear about. I’ve devoted my career to that assumption, that somebody doesn’t need to be featured at the Art Institute, or The Auditorium Theater to be talented or to have something that the rest of us can learn from. That’s what I’ve always wanted this show to be. I certainly will never run out of story possibilities in Chicago. wilsonchapman2021@u.northwestern.edu

A&E arts & entertainment

Stoops: You could spend your life preparing for an improvised performance because what we work on day in and day out is listening, collaborating, putting into action. So the big thing that The Revival does, is we recognize that you can listen to your ensemble members, collaborate together and apply this philosophy to build a performance. But you could just as easily use those same underlying skills to be a more effective doctor, nurse, corporate executive, social worker teacher. That was the initial spark of inspiration that led to The Revival. The Daily: The Revival has guided many organizations such as University of Chicago to apply improv theater to enhance personal and workplace skill sets. Looking forward to the workshop with Kellogg students next week, what can we expect?

Shefsky: I have a couple of favorites. I did a story not too long ago about a woman who’s 102 years old, and for 70 years, she was a working pianist in Chicago. And she, at 102, is still playing the piano, still delightful and still a wonderful storyteller. There’s also a story that I love about two of the elder statesmen of Irish music in Chicago. One was in his 80s. One was in his early 90s. I get a lot of stories about older people. When someone has devoted their whole life to something, whether it’s being a pianist, an Irish musician or a painter. There’s something that I just love, honoring their life’s work by featuring them on television when people haven’t heard of them.

The Daily: How did your time at Kellogg influence your leadership at The Revival? Stoops: In every way. That was where this loosely formed vision really came together and really found some structure and form. It was the place that helped me address my blind spots in places that I didn’t previously experience, like finance. The network has been tremendously valuable, and I called upon it many times to help us at each stage of our growth thus far. vyduong2021@u.northwestern.edu

the updated proposal is addressing safety issues on the property — such as removing asbestos and adding sprinklers — and making the mansion ADA accessible. Still, Guthrie said there are aspects of the original structure that the group wants to preserve. “The conservatory on the south side of the building to me is just an exception space,” Guthrie said. “There’s nothing else like that in Evanston, and I would like to see it available to the general public.” Evanston Community Lakehouse and Gardens has also begun private fundraising, Guthrie said, and is planning to start a crowdfunding campaign. She said the group has around $300,000 in pledges and they are in the process of confirming those donations. Guthrie said she has not heard of another group planning to submit a proposal, and interim city manager Erika Storlie told The Daily that the city cannot comment on any submissions. The city’s request for proposals also prohibits groups planning to submit responses from communicating with city officials. The city will hold a meeting Nov. 5 at the Lorraine H. Morton Civic Center where groups planning to submit proposals can present their ideas to residents.

elite universities for their failure in accommodating poor, first-generation students. They might try to recruit low-income students, he said, but the effort generally stops there. Although the transition to college is much harder for poor students because of the difference in cultural capital, schools rarely acknowledge such struggles, he said. “Citizenship is so much more than just being in a place,” he said. “It’s about access to all the widespread privileges.” If universities are to properly integrate these students on campus, however, they need to understand that there’s a diversity in experiences among the low-income, first-generation population, he said.

MAYOR

From page 1 and you want the rules to be understandable, and you want somebody to explain them to you.” The last candidate, lawyer Jeff Smith, ended up filing in December after then-City Clerk Rodney Greene announced the city would keep two filing dates and hold a primary for the election based on Illinois law, which requires a primary for races with four or more candidates. Smith himself also challenged the filings of the other four candidates; his objections were thrown out by the board in late December. With the primary sorted and scheduled, city officials could turn to the larger problem at hand: the 1992 referendum Miller referenced. While officials found plenty of documentation of the referendum having happened — and passing 15,116 to 12,506, as per The Daily’s reporting that year — in the form of news clippings, neither the actual documents nor the confirmation that is typically sent on to the County Clerk’s Office have surfaced. There was also no indication that the referendum had ever been enforced after its passing. Former mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl notably won a four-candidate election during her first mayoral bid in 2009. It was held without a primary. Back in 2018, Hagerty called for the city’s law

From page 1 floor, Davies said. They said they hoped the passing of the resolution would further encourage the University to act on measures that would be inclusive to nonbinary and nonconforming students and faculty. Elynnor Sandefer, co-writer of the resolution and vice president for campus life, said the standardization of preferred names and pronouns across platforms was necessary. “There is definitely a very urgent need at Northwestern for a system where a person can change their name and pronouns in one location and have it be department to review the 2017 election and primary rules, saying at the time that it “would be a complete embarrassment to all of us up here if we didn’t address it now.” Since then, no concrete action has been taken. The issue resurfaced at a Rules Committee meeting on Oct. 7, when members realized that another longstanding practice in Evanston — holding nonpartisan elections — had not been formally codified. During that meeting, aldermen revisited the 2017 election, and must now find a way to move forward with the 1992 referendum still lost in the shuffle. City Clerk Devon Reid said Council must pass a resolution by the end of the year to put a referendum on the ballot for the March 17, 2020 election, during which residents would decide on whether to restructure their mayoral election practices. Reid and Hagerty have both said it is imperative for the issue to be sorted out by the next election cycle. Reid is advocating for an election model similar to the one in Chicago — a consolidated election with a runoff, where unless a candidate gets over 50 percent of the vote during the February primary, the top two move on to the general election in April. Hagerty said he is still unsure about what system he would prefer going forward, but that the issue needs to be “squared away” come December. karisch@u.northwestern.edu

Following his research, Jack identified two different groups in elite campuses: the Doubly Disadvantaged and the Privileged Poor. The former group came from impoverished neighborhoods, while the latter attended elite prep schools. Both struggle in different ways, he said, and the University needs to be more proactive if they want to give both groups equal opportunities. For Weinberg sophomore Vanessa Obi, Tony’s words were just what she needed to hear, she said. She never had the words to describe her experiences as a low-income, first-generation student on campus until she read his book, Obi said. “It was really empowering to hear another person of color tell me as a student on this campus that the problems that I face on a daily basis are not my own, and that I’m not crazy,” she said.

If the University wants to improve low-income, first-generation students’ experiences on campus, they should acknowledge that not everyone comes in with the same set of knowledge, Obi said. Not everyone knows what office hours mean or how many credits are required, she said, which is why the school should be mindful about defining such language before normalizing it. Jack, too, encouraged students to demand better from the University. Schools should not be allowed to tout diversity while failing to serve low-income students, he said. “Demand as much from Northwestern as it demands from you,” he said. “Be unapologetic. Be bold. Be you.”

reflected in another location,” the Weinberg junior said. “That’s a very unnecessarily complicated process that leaves a lot lacking.” Afnan Elsheikh, a Weinberg junior who is on the executive board of the Panhellenic Association at NU, said she was worried about the possible consequences for nonbinary and transgender students who partake in Greek life. While sororities on campus want to let students indicate their gender identities, Elsheikh said national chapter bylaws may prohibit the admission of nonbinary students, thus creating concerns of privacy and exclusion. “Chapters at Northwestern want to accept anyone,”

Elsheikh said. “That way, they can accept any member that they want into the PHA community.” ASG will vote on the resolution in their next upcoming session. If the bill passes, it will continue to put more pressure on the University to come up with standardized software for names and pronouns. Davies said having more data about the presence of transgender and nonbinary students at Northwestern will also lead to enhanced Campus Climate Survey results. “It’s going to help figure out how many students we have so we can tailor our services and then make their experiences here easier,” Davies said.

Northwestern falls in 5-set battle versus Maryland By CARLOS STINSON-MAAS

the daily northwestern @thepresidito

Northwestern was 15 points away from winning their first conference game of the 2019 season. The Wildcats performed well at times, winning two sets against visiting Maryland — before Wednesday, NU (9-12, 0-9 Big Ten) had won two sets combined in its other eight conference matches. But the Cats couldn’t convert when it counted, however, eventually falling to the Terrapins in the final set at WelshRyan Arena. With Wednesday night’s loss to Maryland (12-9, 4-5), the Cats are now 0-9 in conference play, their worst start since 1999. The first set was neck-and-neck throughout, until a 4-0 run gave the Cats a 16-12 lead, and NU stayed in control. In a key moment, Sophomore setter Kiara McNulty met Maryland redshirt sophomore middle blocker Katie Meyers at the net to record her only kill of the set, pushing the team’s lead to 19-13. “At that point it ’s me versus the middle, and who’s gonna push harder,” McNulty said. “I know I’m not the biggest but I make damn sure that I’m going to push harder than

the other kid.” Maryland crawled back, breaking off a 7-1 run to bring them within two. But, unlike their past several matches, the Cats closed out the set 25-22 to grab their first set win in five games. “It was nice not being stuck on 18 or 21 or 22 and then not being able to finish,” coach Shane Davis said. “We worked a lot on that in practice this week, which I’m glad transitioned into the match.” The Terrapins “flipped the script” in the next two sets according to Davis, edging out a 25-22 win in set two and dominating in set three en route to a 25-16 victory. Errors were rampant for NU in those sets, with the Cats committing 14 attack errors compared to just six for the Terrapins. “Set two was a disappointment,” Davis said. “We were just really giving Maryland way too many errors to recover from.” NU rebounded in set four, jumping out to a 10-3 lead thanks to a

five-point run. The Terrapins kept it close, but the Cats pulled out the win 25-20 behind a pair of late kills from junior middle hitter Alana Walker. But, when it mattered most in the final set, NU once again couldn’t finish, failing to keep the momentum going in the decisive fifth set. Maryland never trailed in the final frame, finishing on a 5-0 run to clinch a 15-7 set win and 3-2 match victory. Throughout the match, the Cats faltered in key areas, with the Terrapins recording 23 total blocks to just seven for NU. Overall, the Cats struggled to convert offensively, committing 28 attack errors and 16 service errors. NU was led by freshman outside hitter Temi Thomas-Ailara, who had 17 kills — Walker and sophomore outside hitter Ella Grbac each added 14. McNulty finished with a seasonhigh 47 assists as well as five kills and two service aces. Grbac said the Cats have some of the best players in the country, but lack the passion needed to win games. “Mental stability and mental toughness, that’s the key that we’re missing,” Grbac said. “ We really need to grow up and learn how to win.”

Cats look to keep postseason hopes alive Cats rank By SOPHIA SCANLAN

daily senior staffer @sophia_scanlan

If the season were to end today, Northwestern would have earned its ticket to the Big Ten Tournament after missing it last year. However, with two games left against Minnesota and Wisconsin, the Wildcats — currently holding onto eighth place in the conference standings — still have to seal the deal. Coming off two losses and a tie in its past three games, NU (5-8-3, 3-4-2 Big Ten) will welcome the Golden Gophers (2-11-4, 1-6-2) to Martin Stadium on Thursday for its penultimate matchup of the regular season. Minnesota, who’s in 13th in the standings, must beat both the Cats and Illinois on Sunday to sneak into the postseason. Conversely, NU could head to the postseason following several different results this weekend, but a win Thursday would bolster its odds to secure its spot. At a glance, the Golden Gophers don’t seem threatening, with just nine goals off 198 shots this season, a .235 overall win percentage and no victories since Sept. 29. However, coach Michael Moynihan said the Cats shouldn’t take Minnesota lightly.

“They’re a team some people on the outside might underestimate, but we’re not going to,” Moynihan said. “Minnesota’s on their last life coming into this game… so we know we’re going to be facing an energized team that’s willing to do whatever they need to to win these last few games.” The Golden Gophers beat NU 2-0 last year in what Moynihan called “a really weird day” for the Cats. It was the first loss NU had after being unbeaten in eight straight games, and midfielder T.J. McKendrick — who netted one of the goals — is still on the roster but has played only one game. Moynihan said Minnesota showed up with more energy than NU, and the squad left disappointed with the result. “They’ve been a difficult opponent for us the past couple years,” Moynihan said. “We want to have a better showing where we match their energy.” Junior midfielder Regan Steigleder agreed, saying the game could go either way no matter the talent of either team. The Iowa native added the Cats have to play the way they did against Michigan on Oct. 13 and Ohio State on Oct. 17, which she called some of the “best soccer” the team has played this season. “We’re getting a lot of corners, a lot of crosses, a lot of shots,” Steigleder said.

“We just need to get them in the back of the net.” Sophomore goalkeeper Mackenzie Wood said forgetting about their opponent’s strategy and focusing on their own would also help. If NU keeps that focus for the “full 90 minutes” — and doesn’t just save it for the end — they’ll also come out on top,

Wood said. “Sometimes we’ve had rough starts, and we just can’t have that for these next two games,” Wood said. “We need to combine well and just play how we know how to play.” sophiascanlan2022@u.northwestern. edu

On Wednesday, Northwestern’s women’s swimming and diving team was ranked 15th in CSCAA TYR Dual Meet Poll. After not being ranked last week, the Wildcats jumped into the poll and joined No. 11 Michigan, No. 18 Indiana and No. 22 Minnesota as one of four Big Ten teams in the rankings. NU has participated in three meets in October, with all three taking place on Oct. 11 and 12. Some Cats’ swimmers went to Dallas, Texas, where they participated in the SMU Invite and came in third place. At the meet, junior Calypso Sheridan and freshman Hannah Brunzell stood out for NU, as they both swam on the 400 medley relay team that came in second place. Individually, Sheridan took home meet MVP after breaking the meet record for the 400 IM and winning the 100 meter backstroke as well. Brunzell won the 200 meter breaststroke, which was her second collegiate victory in that event. At home, more NU swimmers participated in home meets against local schools. On Oct. 12, the Cats won both of their meets against their UIC and Illinois, winning by a score of 207-92 and 192-107 respectively. Next week, NU will return to action with a meet against Oakland before facing Michigan State the next day.
