Ryan Fieldhouse: Spending big on the future of NU football Northwestern joins college football ‘arms race’ with construction of new $260 million practice facility By BOBBY PILLOTE
daily senior staffer @bobbypillote
In a couple of years, Northwestern football players will be running drills against the scenic backdrop of Lake Michigan in one of the nation’s most expensive practice facilities.
The $260 million Ryan Fieldhouse and adjoining Walter Athletics Center, due to be completed in summer 2018, will abut the north wall of Henry Crown Sports Pavilion and feature training facilities, office space and an indoor practice field offering sweeping views of the lake. For the football team, the
future fieldhouse is a means to lure better recruits to a program that has historically struggled. For the University, the lakefront facility is one of the most visible construction projects funded by the $3.75 billion “We Will” campaign. As the most expensive practice facility in the Big Ten, few, if any, projects compare
to the size and scope of NU’s new lakefront complex, and the new buildings will allow athletes to practice on campus rather than 1.5 miles to the west near Ryan Field. The next-most expensive practice facilities project in the conference is unfolding at the University of Minnesota, which announced a $190 million
plan in 2013. Beyond just football or varsity athletics, NU administrators have suggested the university’s facility will be a multi-use venue that benefits all students on campus. “The idea was we’d try to do Dance Marathon there, and we’d do a number of things,” University President
Morton Schapiro told The Daily in October. “We will use all these facilities for the greater good of the University. That’s why the University is investing in it.” But not everyone shares Schapiro’s enthusiasm. The student protest at the Ryan » See FIELDHOUSE, page 6
NU hosts Asian Patten, Blomquist to be renovated American summit By KRISTINE LIAO
Conference at university for first time since 1997 By MADELEINE FERNANDO
the daily northwestern @madeleinemelody
For the first time since 1997, Northwestern hosted the Midwest Asian American Students Union Leadership Summit, with hundreds gathering at Norris University Center on Saturday. The summit’s final speaker, history Prof. Ji-Yeon Yuh, spoke about fighting for Asian-American equality and brought up NU’s own struggle of adding an Asian-American studies major. In 1995, a group of students put together a proposal for an Asian-American Studies Program, but it wasn’t accepted by the University. In April of that same year, the group held a hunger strike to raise awareness for their cause. The Asian-American studies major was added earlier this year.
Yuh encouraged attendees to fight for equality and freedom, saying it is particularly important now that Donald Trump is poised to become president. “Now more than ever, we need to know our history,” Yuh said. “We need to support each other, and we need to resist. We need to resist the resurgence of racism, misogyny and discrimination. It’s the only way that we can America great again.” She also told attendees to band together and become advocates for people of color and their rights. “We’re the only ones who can fight for our own rights,” said Chelsie Dang, a sophomore at Colorado College, who attended the summit. “This conference has really inspired me to become an activist and take a stand.” During the annual conference, attendees also participated in workshops and breakout sessions that offered students the chance to network and discuss issues related to Asian-American » See SUMMIT, page 10

Patten Gymnasium and Blomquist Recreation Center will close Nov. 21 for renovation and are scheduled to reopen by early January. Athletic director Jim Phillips told The Daily that the decision to renovate the two facilities was prompted in part by the need for practice space while Welsh-Ryan Arena — home to varsity men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball and wrestling — undergoes renovation. Phillips said

Gov. Bruce Rauner and his wife have reported more than $170 million in income for 2015. The Rauners had a taxable federal income of $176.7 million and paid more than $50
he hopes that the timing of the renovations to Patten and Blomquist will minimally inconvenience to students. “I know how much they use those facilities and how important those facilities are,” Phillips said. Phillips said that once the Welsh-Ryan Arena renovation is complete, Patten and Blomquist will be “strictly” student facilities. Construction on Welsh-Ryan Arena will begin after the basketball season ends in March, and it will be completed just in time for the 2018-19 season. We i n b e r g freshman Chibuzo Ikonte, who plays
basketball at Patten five to six days a week, said he does not think a renovation is necessary. “The gym will be nicer, but I won’t have anywhere to play for a while,” he said. “I feel like the only impact it will have is that it will look nicer. The visual appeal will improve, but physically it will kind of be the same.” Weinberg freshman Samm Jones, who plays basketball in Patten with Ikonte a few times a week and uses Blomquist every day, said he thinks the renovation is a good idea. However, he said it’s inconvenient that both gyms will
undergo construction at the same time. “People who live far away from SPAC deserve to have as good facilities as people who live near SPAC,” Jones said. “Patten definitely needs new hoops and floors, but Blom not so much. But as a basketball player, I’m not going to be upset if they update the basketball facilities.” Athletic department spokesman Paul Kennedy said the new facilities will be made more usable by the renovations. “If you want to play

In a news release, Rauner announced his family’s philanthropic foundation made contributions of more than $11.6 million. Rauner personally donated more than $30 million to state
elections this year, including a $1 million donation to a group supporting Republican candidate for Comptroller Leslie Munger in late October. He also donated $9 million to a campaign group for Illinois Rep. James Durkin (R-Western Springs). Durkin is the House Republican leader. In 2015, Rauner reported a $58 million dollar income for 2014. Since becoming governor,
he has not had control over his business’ investments, which are set up in a blind trust. Rauner ran an investment fund before running for governor. At an event on Friday, Rauner said maybe not having control over his investments had been a good thing. “They seem to be doing better,” he said.

AROUND TOWN City debuts new emergency alert app By ERICA SNOW
daily senior staffer @ericasnoww
City staff are encouraging Evanston residents to register for Evanston’s new emergency notification system. EvanstonAlerts alerts residents by text, phone or email of any health or safety risks in the area. Residents must input their information into the system to receive emergency notifications, city manager Wally Bobkiewicz said. Off-campus students especially could benefit from subscribing to the system, Bobkiewicz said. “Everybody lives their lives in different ways,” Bobkiewicz said. “Everybody gets their information in different ways. So for those people perhaps who are not on social media avenues, but want to hear from us directly, this is the application for that.” Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan of Evanston Police Department said although the system might not always be applicable to Northwestern’s campus, students might find the alert useful if they’re heading into the city. Dugan said he hoped the system wouldn’t have to be used that often because it would only be used for serious emergencies. “It has to be an active threat event, something that threatens potential loss of life or very big

Police are investigating two instances of criminal defacement to property that occurred Thursday.

Joseph Dugan said.
property damage,” Dugan said. “The more information you have, the better.” Dugan added the system might be expanded later. Even if residents don’t sign up for the new emergency notification system, the city will still post all emergency notifications on Facebook and Twitter, Bobkiewicz said. The city also calls landline phone numbers, according to a news release. The system will notify residents of health and safety risks, such as crime, gas leaks and flooding. Residents can sign up at cityofevanston.org/alerts
or by calling or texting 847-448-4311. After registering for the alert system, residents can download the ContactBridge app to receive push notifications. “Between the alert system and use of social media, whether we put stuff out on Twitter or Facebook, the more people you can alert to an emergency, the better off you’ll be,” Dugan said.
that he locked his bike in the garage in the 800 block of Davis Street in the morning and returned in the afternoon to find the lock broken and the bike missing. A security offi cer reviewed footage and found an unknown man wearing a greenstriped coat leaving the garage with the bike at about 1:30 p.m., Dugan said. The bike is worth about $1,350. Security footage has been given to detectives who will follow up on the crime, Dugan said.
Metra approved a 5.8 percent increase in fare revenue as part of their budget for 2017. Customers who purchase a one-way ticket will have to pay 25 cents more per trip for all distances, according to a news release. Monthly passes will cost $11.75 more per month while 10-Ride tickets will cost $2.75 more per ticket per trip. Fare changes will go into effect Feb. 1. The $1.06 billion budget, passed by the Metra Board of Directors on Friday, provides $781.2 million for operating costs and $279.5 million for capital improvements. The revenue from passenger fares currently account for about half of the operating costs. All of the additional fare revenue will pay for capital improvement projects. Other parts of the budget will be financed by sales tax from the Regional Transit Authority, which controls Metra, CTA and PACE and state and federal financing. Operating costs include day-to-day expenses and will increase by $21.4 million. The spending expansions increases in health care costs for employees and a 3 percent jump in employee wages in addition to higher training costs and funding for safety and system fire and police. Increased operating costs will be covered by an expected $21.8 million increase in RTA sales tax revenue. Metra’s Capital Budget totals $279.5 million, the lowest possible amount to keep the system functioning. Capital investments financed by the budget include replacing rolling stock, renovating bridges on the Union Pacific North line — which runs from Chicago to Kenosha through Evanston — and rebuilding the Ravenswood station. Metra projects it will have $900 million less than needed for capital projects for the next four years. It expects no increases in state financing for capital projects.

ON CAMPUS Veteran student enrollment increases By YVONNE KIM
the daily northwestern @yvonneekimm
With an increased enrollment of veterans at Northwestern, the University is aiming to provide more resources for student veterans, dean of students Todd Adams said in a news release. Earlier this year, administrators approved a committee aiming to improve support for student veterans. On Friday, NU honored veterans during the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps’ annual Veterans Day celebration and an event held by the Kellogg School of Management. Julia Jenkins, associate director of financial
aid, said 239 veterans are attending NU this fall. The number includes those on active duty as well as dependents receiving benefits, and there may be other students who have not identified themselves as veterans to the University, she said. There were 222 student veterans enrolled at NU last year. “We’ve definitely been seeing an increase in the number of veterans enrolling during the past four to five years,” Jenkins said in the news release. The University is also attempting to improve its relationship with the U.S. Army. According to the news release, NU is increasing its financial support for the Yellow Ribbon Program, a Department of Defense effort that helps provide
resources for service members and families. The University plans to provide $100,000 in funding for the Yellow Ribbon Program to help more veterans enroll at NU. Adams said administrators from the Office of the Provost, the School of Professional Studies, Student Affairs and other offices will work to provide more resources for student veterans. “This year we plan to inventory the current services offered to veterans across the University, take a look at best practices, both internally and at other institutions, and determine what unmet needs might exist,” Adams said in the news release. yvonnekim2019@u.northwestern.edu

We can continue to fight for change while listening BERNIE PELLISSIER
OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR
This past week since election night has been a whirlwind of emotion. As University President Schapiro stated in his email to students on Wednesday, this election has “shaken some,” while being “a pleasant surprise to others.” Many in the NU community were left feeling hopeless and fearful for their future in a way that I cannot understand, as Trump did not threaten any part of my identity during his campaign. The only thing I can do at this point is observe, and what I have seen has been nothing short of sickening. On social media, I have seen a video of former University of Tennessee linebacker Chris Weatherd walking outside to see that his car was painted with racist epithet and “Trump!” on the window. I have heard stories from my friends at Illinois State University of black students being egged while they walk through campus. I have seen a video of a Trump supporter being dragged out of his car in Chicago and beaten while people watch and laugh. I have seen anti-Trump protests become violent, most notably in Portland where police publicly declared the scene a riot after local businesses were vandalized and police officers were attacked. Our nation is at a crossroads. We face a greater divide both ideologically and socially than many of us can ever remember. Is it possible that we can ever become less divided? While the optimist in me says yes, the realist in me says that the challenges of bringing people together will require more energy and effort than I can currently conceive. However, at NU we are lucky to be surrounded by peers with the acumen and the drive to face a problem so large. Northwestern students are an opinionated

bunch. In my time here, I have seen many students unwilling to even talk to Trump supporters, including some publicly cursing out these students online. Yet after the shock many of us experienced after Tuesday night’s results, it’s evident that the way we see the world, tucked away in our Evanston campus, is quite different from the way much of America does. The first step to solving a problem must be about understanding people –– this is exactly what is hammered into my head every week in my Design Thinking and Communication class. We must take a step back from what many thought was an obvious choice and ask, “Why do so many people think differently than we do?” This requires a concerted effort at
dialogue, one founded on the idea that while the person sitting across the table may have very different ideas and opinions, their presence at the table indicates a willingness to listen and engage. We must raise the level of our discourse, rather than hurling defamation at those who disagree with us. Future change will take cooperation and patience from all sides, and a commitment to dialogue without judgment. It will take an effort to stay calm and reflect on what has happened in this election and what actions need to be taken in the future. I am confident that we can overcome the divisiveness in our country. America is great because we can engage in
healthy debate and cultivate a multitude of opinions. Today, we are in danger of losing this because the aftermath of this election has been playing out in assault and hate speech, not healthy discourse. We, as students, represent the future. We must continue to stand up for what we believe in, but we must never forget to listen. Bernie Pellissier is a McCormick freshman. He can be contacted at bernardpellissier2020@u.northwestern.edu.

Facing America under Donald Trump after study abroad ALANI VARGAS
DAILY COLUMNIST
Tuesday was one of the worst night sleeps I have ever had in my life. Because I am studying abroad in Italy this quarter, I’m six to seven hours ahead of the United States and went to bed awaiting results in the morning. I woke up to my roommate sobbing “No.” I woke up to apologies, to friends urging self-care and to a completely different America than what I had gone to sleep to. I woke up to the heart-wrenching realization that Trump had clinched all but a handful of blue states. And not only that, the Republicans had taken over the Senate and the House. What really broke my spirit was a tweet in all capital letters urging women to go out and get an IUD while they still can. I thought of all the women who have fought for access to healthcare and dignity for their bodies and how many steps back Trump’s presidency will take that fight. If it wasn’t for my little sister who, at
9-years-old, has no idea what this could mean for her rights as a woman, I wouldn’t come back to the United States after study abroad ends. If it wasn’t for my 16-year-old sister who has dreams of being a doctor, I wouldn’t come back. If it wasn’t for my brother who, as a man of color, may face more police brutality than the average 13-year-old, I wouldn’t come back. But if I don’t come back to the country I was taught to respect no matter what, it would only be a selfish act. I cannot turn into those who have forsaken me by electing Donald Trump, a man who threatens the values I hold dear. I cannot afford to hate like they do. Being abroad has given me an opportunity to view American politics from afar. I’ve experienced the confusion native Italians have when hearing the election results. At dinner a couple nights after the election, my host mom asked for some explanation, and I couldn’t even look up from my plate. I had no explanation as to how Trump won. How could I find the words to explain to her that America voted in a racist, sexist bigot in Italian when I can barely do so in English? Despite the shame I have for my country, I know I cannot let these feelings turn into
desolation, abandonment or hopelessness. Fear must not inhibit me from helping my fellow people of color, my fellow women and my brother and sisters. Fear will not stop me from comforting those who are hurting as their civil rights are threatened yet again, this time by the incoming commander-in-chief. Americans might not consider what this election means for other countries, but Italians are baffled and highly fascinated by the outcome. As part of a grammar exercise, my Italian professor asked what scared me. I was on the verge of tears as I replied that I was afraid America hated me. I was afraid that my gender and the color of my skin was undesirable to my fellow Americans. My teacher’s responded, in hushed tones and a motherly nod, almost as if someone had died. I shouldn’t be getting emails from Northwestern on how to cope with the election. I shouldn’t be having trouble sleeping and not eating properly. I shouldn’t be having flashbacks to high school when, at the height of my depression, I didn’t want to get out of bed. An election should not make me feel scared or disgusted with my country. I’ve caught myself thinking “those Americans” far too often in the past few days, trying to distance myself
from the successful campaign of hatred that runs deep throughout my home country. There are already hate crimes taking place to people I know. Trump said in a “60 Minutes” interview airing Sunday night that he plans to deport 2 to 3 million undocumented immigrants, and Pence has built his political career on the hatred of the LGBTQ community and complete disregard for women’s rights. Returning to the United States is definitely going to be tough. Never would I have thought to fear for the deterioration of my rights or harassment outside of intense catcalling. But I have seen amazing love and support from through protests and petitions since the election. I know that conscious effort and grassroots organizing can shape the future of our country beyond just the next four years. You can bet I will be at the very next rally after I step back on U.S. soil. Alani Vargas is a Medill junior. She can be contacted at alanivargas2018@u.northwestern.edu.

Two new course offerings fuel ‘Hamilton’ mania By JACOB HOLLAND
the daily northwestern @jakeholland97
Two new courses on “Hamilton” offered Winter Quarter will allow Northwestern students to discuss history and law in relation to the Broadway hit musical. History Profs. Caitlin Fitz and Geraldo Cadava will co-teach “Hamilton’s America,” a course crosslisted in both of the departments. The class will focus on understanding the relationship between history and memory in terms of how people today think about the early United States, Fitz said. Both Fitz and Cadava said they appreciated the show but emphasized the importance of distinguishing art from history. “The main thing to realize is that the musical is a work of art,” Fitz said. “It’s not a work of history. … The show oversimplifies important things about Hamilton and his era.” In particular, she said, the musical downplays Hamilton’s elitism and anti-immigrant policies as a statesman while overplaying his anti-slavery stance. “But, by the same token, those artistic liberties that the show takes are part of what’s enabled LinManuel Miranda and the cast to translate the ideas, urgency and passion of the past into a language that resonates with us today,” Fitz said. Whereas Fitz will draw on her work in early U.S.
history, she said Cadava will use his background teaching Latina and Latino studies to dissect the show’s contemporary cultural relevance. All of the main actors in the musical are people of color. “I’m less interested in interrogating (the musical) for its historical accuracy and more interested in trying to figure out how the musical itself has opened up lots of possible historical conversations,” he said.
“
The main thing to realize is that the musical is a work of art. It’s not a work of history. Caitlin Fitz, history professor
Such conversations, Cadava said, will explore themes such as empire, immigration, ambition, gender relations, race and slavery. Legal studies Profs. Joanna Grisinger and Laura Beth Nielsen will co-teach a different Hamilton course next quarter called “Alexander Hamilton: Bullets, Banks and Broadway.” Grisinger said the course — which is limited to 67 students and includes a free trip to the show in Chicago — will incorporate elements from both the
show and Hamilton as a historical figure. The course will pay special interest to intellectual property questions raised by the show, particularly how Miranda draws on existing rap and Broadway songs. She said students will focus on other key elements of legal history, such as the copyright of “Hamilton” fanfiction, fan art, videos and parodies. Grisinger said she and Nielsen will incorporate analysis of the Constitution and immigration policy. Several professors, including faculty in the School of Education and Social Policy, the School of Communication and the theater, African American studies, English and political science departments, will guest lecture for much of the quarter, she said. “This course is a really nice opportunity for students to get to hear how people from all of these different (disciplines) can have very different takes on the same questions,” she said. There is “tremendous” value in such interdisciplinary thought, with each professor and department bringing something new and unique to the table, Grisinger said. Fitz said the show is important because it generates critical dialogue. “Why do we keep coming back to this revolutionary and founding moment?” she said. “I think it’s great that the show has gotten people to ponder these questions and reflect more deeply on our early national past.” jacobholland2020@u.northwestern.edu

Dyche Stadium is dedicated as Northwestern triumphs over University of Chicago. The stadium costs $1.425 million to construct — over $19 million in today’s dollars.
FIELDHOUSE From page 1
Fieldhouse groundbreaking one year ago is indicative of the frustrations some students have with how the University allocates its resources. About 300 students disrupted the Nov. 13 groundbreaking to protest in solidarity with black students at the University of Missouri and Yale University and to make demands of the assembled administrators and donors. Although the demonstration centered on institutional racism — not the construction project itself — Weinberg senior Marcel Hanna, who participated in the protest, told The Daily the choice to demonstrate at the athletic facility was deliberate. “They know this kind of facility is going to put them on the map, or make them look nice, and that’s all they care about,” Hanna told The Daily. “They don’t really care about the wellbeing of their students.” The investment has already been made, but it remains uncertain whether Ryan Fieldhouse can deliver on expectations to improve the fortunes of the football team and act as the communitybuilder administrators envision.

major-college football history. In the midst of that futility, some University officials even flirted with moving NU out of the Big Ten, a conference it took part in founding, and into the lower-tier Ivy League. It was a far cry from the team’s heyday in 1949 when NU won the Rose Bowl. But NU stayed in the Big Ten and ultimately rebounded, returning to the Rose Bowl after the 1995 season and maintaining respectability throughout the current tenure of coach Pat Fitzgerald. NU has also reaped the rewards of ever-more-lucrative broadcast rights deals that have left the entire sport flush with cash and given NU broader national exposure. “(The Big Ten Network) is phenomenal for Northwestern football,” Fitzgerald said in February, referring to the conference-owned network that broadcasts games into over 60 million homes. “The exposure level of our program is at an all-time high.” And as the stakes for football money and players have grown, so too has investment in the sport. In a race to attract recruits, many schools have begun to compete over who can build the best facilities. Stewart Mandel (Medill ‘98), a senior columnist for FoxSports.com and former Daily staffer, has witnessed this ongoing competition first-hand. “It’s become a never-ending arms race; everybody has to have the latest facilities,” Mandel told The Daily. “There’s schools I go to where every single time they’re building something new.”
The glamorous facility has not yet improved Oregon’s ability to draw top recruits. According to 247sports.com, the Ducks’ recruiting classes in the three years prior to the facility opening ranked, on average, higher than their recruiting classes in the three years since. But Northwestern has more room for improvement than Oregon. “I do think it will make a difference in recruiting. You always want to put on your best face recruiting,” Mandel told The Daily. “At the end of the day, if you get two recruits you wouldn’t otherwise, it makes a difference.” Working against the Cats is their position as a program where academic fit — and not facilities — matters most to many prospective recruits. “(Facilities) never really crossed my mind,” redshirt freshman running back John Moten told The Daily about his recruiting experience. “I was more focused on where I wanted to be and where I saw myself in the future. I think this is a good place because of the academics and what the football program stands for.”
The college athletics arms race
Josh Kaplan/The Daily Northwestern
The Chicago skyline rises beyond Hutcheson Field, a new outdoor practice field constructed this year. Northwestern has invested significantly in lakeside athletic facilities since the start of the $3.75 billion “We Will” campaign.
College football today is a big-money endeavor, especially for the elite in the sport. According to a USA Today analysis, the athletic departments of Michigan and Ohio State — two flagship programs in the Big Ten — each brought in more than $150 million in revenue in fiscal year 2014-15. More than half came from football. NU’s athletic department works on a much smaller scale. According to Department of Education filings, the Cats’ football program brought in $31.7 million in fiscal year 2014-15, leaving over $10 million in profit. The money brought in by college football programs is often siphoned away to subsidize other athletic programs, so schools usually turn to donors to pay the tab for new facilities. Perhaps the best example of big sports spending is the University of Oregon, which opened a $138 million football performance center in 2013. The sprawling facility features its own cafeteria and barbershop, boasts “Ferrari leather” seating in the team theater and is advertised by its official website as “entirely unmatched by any facility in college sports.”
Moten’s response aligned with those of four other players interviewed by The Daily, who, while excited about the prospect of practicing on Lake Michigan, did not cite the Ryan Fieldhouse project or other athletic facilities as factors affecting their recruiting decisions. The closest historical proxy for the Ryan Fieldhouse project likewise offers discouraging evidence. In 1996 and 1997 NU renovated Dyche Stadium — renaming it Ryan Field — and constructed Trienens Hall, an indoor practice facility. “This major reconstruction project is extremely important to our football program,”

then-coach Gary Barnett told the Northwestern Observer in 1997. “The new facilities will help the program immeasurably.” The Cats won just 11 games over the next three seasons.
department spokesman Paul Kennedy told The Daily in an email, though specific plans have not yet been finalized.
Connecting communities
Rather than any one amenity of the building itself, the most important feature of Ryan Fieldhouse is likely its location. “It’s never ideal to have a program one and a half miles away,” Mandel told The Daily. “NU’s case is less about the impact of recruiting and more about bringing the program back on campus.” Nestled into the northeast corner of NU, Ryan Fieldhouse is significantly closer to the classes and residences of most athletes than the Ryan Field complex. For sophomore lineman Tommy Doles, who represents student athletes in Associated Student Government Senate, this proximity is key to enhancing the athlete experience at NU. “In the past, we’re ostracized, literally, by being a mile and a half away from campus,” Doles said. “It’s going to be pretty cool being on campus with the rest of our peers, and I really hope that it’s something that benefits everyone.” That benefit to athletes isn’t just for football players. All 19 of NU’s varsity teams will utilize Ryan Fieldhouse and Walter Athletics Center, and the indoor field can also serve as a competition venue for soccer and lacrosse, athletic
In addition to bringing athletes closer to the rest of the Evanston campus community, Schapiro has stressed the multipurpose nature of the facility. Ryan Fieldhouse, he said, is a large and enclosed venue that can be utilized for major campus events.
“You could see with Nate Silver, we packed (Pick-Staiger Concert Hall) with a thousand (people),” Schapiro told The Daily. “What do you do if you need a bigger venue for a party or a speaker or whatever?” The biggest potential use of the fieldhouse is Northwestern Dance Marathon, which Schapiro and athletic director Jim Phillips expect to move from its current location on the Norris East Lawn once the fieldhouse is complete. Dance Marathon has not finalized plans to move its annual Winter Quarter fundraiser, executive co-chairs Jenny Halpern and Ian Pappas told The Daily in an email. Last year, former executive co-chair Arielle Miller (Medill ‘16) told The Daily that hosting Dance Marathon in Ryan Fieldhouse would lower costs of the 30-hour event and would decrease the registration fee for dancers. Weinberg senior Isaac Rappoport, ASG’s chief of staff, told The Daily he expects ASG to advocate for the facility to be used by more groups than just Dance Marathon. “As the primary representatives for undergraduate students on campus, we’re always going to push for more access to the average undergrad,” Rappoport said. Rappoport added that moving student-athletes closer to campus is a problem worth solving, but questioned whether the $260 million cost of Ryan Fieldhouse was the best way to address that concern. Students who make frequent use of campus recreational facilities are hopeful that the benefits of Ryan Fieldhouse will extend to them as well. Weinberg senior Demo Drakoulis, who told The Daily he plays pickup soccer two to three times per week, expressed frustration over the lack of a dedicated field for recreation at NU. “When I go to other schools … they have a turf field for the teams, and they have a turf field for the students they can use at any time,” Drakoulis said. “I know we have Long Field, but Long Field is a piece of crap.” Drakoulis added it can be difficult for pickup soccer players to navigate the scheduling of NU’s existing varsity athletic fields, though he said his experience using them was positive overall despite occasionally being kicked off to accommodate a varsity team. Phillips did not address specific plans for how Ryan Fieldhouse might be used recreationally by students, but pointed out that other facilities, such as the recently-constructed Hutcheson Field, are frequently used by students and club sports teams. He also expressed a desire to renovate Long Field for student use in the near future.
Balancing priorities
But for students like Hanna, who participated in the November 2015 protest, the benefit to recreation Ryan Fieldhouse may provide to students doesn’t mean much in the face of
more pressing issues. He noted that most of the demands from the protest last year have still not been met. Those demands include bettering mental health resources on campus and remodeling the Black House and Multicultural Center, which became the focus of student activism after administrators attempted to consolidate office space there. “When you have students suffering from a lot of mental health issues,” Hanna told The Daily, “when you have students suffering from a lot of racist remarks from professors and students alike on this campus every day, it’s worth asking: what is an athletic facility really going to do?”
Last spring, the University drew praise for eliminating the 12-session limit at Counseling and Psychological Services. But earlier this fall, students criticized administrators’ decision to remove long-term counseling at the Women’s Center and redirect its mental health services to CAPS. For Phillips, the cost of the project is simply a function of the funds available to him. He told The Daily all the money for the fieldhouse project came from outside donations to athletics and not university resources. Phillips added that he feels he has an obligation to student-athletes to use that money to build the best facilities. “If you’re going to have a great university, a top-10 university … (you) want to build a university that has excellence in all of its parts,” Phillips told The Daily. “Athletics happens to be one of those parts. So I want it to be that way and I want it to be reflective of this worldclass university that we have.” bpillote@u.northwestern.edu

NU professors research intersection of race, class By ALLY MAUCH
the daily northwestern @allymauch
Political science Prof. Alvin Tillery participated in a national task force on racial and class inequalities, co-editing a report released in September on the intersection of race and class in the Americas. The task force found that for people of color, racial identity and socioeconomic status simultaneously impede civic participation and economic gains. “Our initial motivation was to understand how much of the inequality that people of color experience is driven by their identity as people of color and how much of it is driven by their economic status,” said Tillery, associate chair of the political science department. “It is a very important part of our politics that we don’t talk about enough.” Tillery said Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election may make these issues “much worse.” However, some of Trump’s policies, such as his infrastructure plan, could be helpful, he said. “If he takes proactive measures to ensure that people of color are included in hiring, it could ameliorate some of those inequalities,” Tillery said. The report was sponsored by the American Political Science Association, and work on it began in 2014. Rodney Hero, who served as president of the APSA at the time, said he came up with the idea after speaking with several scholars and close friends in the political science field, including Tillery. Hero, who now works as a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, said they concluded that race and class should be researched and analyzed in terms of their intersection. He, along with Tillery and the other report co-editor, Juliet Hooker, a professor at the University of Texas, Austin, chose scholars who have done research on other American countries, such as Canada and Mexico, to serve
on the task force. Tillery said he asked African American studies Prof. Debra Thompson, who participated on the task force, to co-write a chapter on racial inequalities as they relate to Canada. Thompson, who is Canadian, has devoted much of her research to studying the role of race in Canadian society. This, she said, is partly because Canada is often viewed as a “multicultural haven” and is not a country people think of in terms of racial inequalities. “One of the goals (of the report) was disrupting national narratives about Canadian racial inequality,” Thompson said. “Racial inequality is quite real in Canada, and it is not given the attention that it is given in the United States.” In her chapter, Thompson concluded that Canadian policy was not designed to adequately deal with racial inequalities and that the largely diverse attitude in Canada has often deflected attention from the realities of racial inequalities in the country. Both Tillery and Thompson said they will try to incorporate themes from the report into their teaching at Northwestern. Tillery currently teaches an introductory U.S. politics class and graduate seminars on race and political theory. Thompson teaches several classes on the intersection of race and politics, including a first-year seminar on Black Lives Matter. “I’m interested in the ways that policies work to either exacerbate or alleviate racial inequalities,” Thompson said. Tillery said he appreciates that the issues discussed in the report are taken seriously at NU, and he added that the recent election could motivate anti-racist activism. “We’re no longer living in a bubble where we think all these racial problems were in the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s,” Tillery said. “Trump is going to spurn an entire generation of people, particularly in the millennial age group, who are going to be committed to addressing all of these issues.”

NU scientists find brain area that creates placebos By EMRE TURKOLMEZ
the daily northwestern
Northwestern scientists discovered the area of the brain responsible for the placebo effect, the University announced. Feinberg Prof. Apkar Vania Apkarian, who co-led a study on placebos, said the discovery will significantly help people dealing with chronic pain. The study found a region of the mid-frontal gyrus, part of the frontal lobe, to be responsible for the placebo effect. In the study, published last month, scientists found that 50 percent of participants benefited from placebos. Knowing the region of the brain responsible for the placebo effect can help doctors predict whether placebos can replace drugs for certain patients, postdoctoral fellow Etienne VachonPresseau said. Using placebos can result in substantial reduction of pain, according to the study. They can help people stop using drugs for treatment, at least for a few months. Placebos are better than administered drugs because they do not lead to side effects, according to the study. However, because the pills do not have any medicinal products, their effects are only psychological. The ability to predict the brain’s reaction to different types of medication will lead to a large improvement in treating chronic patients. “This discovery will help us apply the best suited treatment for the person, rather than using trial and error with multiple drugs,” Vachon-Presseau said. The finding will also lead to more precise and accurate clinical trials for pain medications by eliminating individuals with high placebo responses before trials, he said. “Most studies about placebo were done on healthy people in highly controlled environments,” Vachon-Presseau said. “What we want to achieve here is a long-term clinical treatment with just sugar pills.” These studies translate poorly to clinics,
where most patients’ pain is chronic, Feinberg Prof. Marwan Baliki said in a news release. In the study, scientists scanned every participant’s brain before the participant ingested the placebo pill. By rescanning the brains of patients who felt relief of pain symptoms after ingestion, scientists were able to identify the portion of the brain that was activated.
Etienne Vachon-Presseau, postdoctoral fellow
After the first set of findings, scientists moved on to a second group of subjects, this time focusing only on the specified area of the brain. Apkarian said the validation of the theory turned out a 85 to 90 percent rate of correct prediction. Apkarian added that for some participants who were taking administered drugs, they did not experience the full effect of placebo pills. This project, funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, began when a preliminary project’s data suggested there should be a place in the brain responsible for the placebo effect, Apkarian said. The project’s initiation “was a surprising outcome of another project,” he said. Northwestern scientists have already begun a new project building off their most recent findings, Vachon-Presseau said. “The design of this new study will allow us to answer some fundamental questions about the placebo effect, such as its reproducibility, stability,” postdoctoral fellow Pascal Tetreault said. emreturkolmez2020@u.northwestern.edu

Local student decorates utility boxes By ZOE MILLER
the daily northwestern
An Evanston high school student is trying to bring a little more beauty to Evanston by decorating utility boxes across the city with photographs. Emily Lubin, an Evanston resident and high school senior at North Shore Country Day School, decorated the utility box on the corner of Sherman Avenue and Church Street with a photo of Lake Michigan this fall. The box serves as the pilot for the public art project called “Outside the Box,” which aims to beautify utility boxes across the city. Lubin came up with the idea after visiting Sun Valley, Idaho, over the summer and seeing a similar beautification project there. “I guess you don’t really notice how drab and ugly the boxes can be until you see how they look when they’re beautified,” Lubin said. “I started noticing the boxes all around Evanston and how out of place and kind of ugly they
looked, so I thought that this would be a great project for Evanston to do.” Lubin approached Downtown Evanston, Barnes and Noble and First Bank and Trust to get the box sponsored. They agreed that decorating the boxes was a good idea and helped pay for the project. Lubin began the program with the box outside of Barnes and Noble, 1630 Sherman Ave. “She chose this box because it was in a good position downtown, and it also was, in her opinion, the ugliest,” said Annie Coakley, executive director of Downtown Evanston. Coakley said she directed Lubin to the Evanston Arts Council, which would be able to help her get the project moving. The photograph of the lakefront decorating the pilot box is the work of local artist Ted Glasoe, who is known for his lakefront scenery work. “We thought it would make more sense if it was an Evanston photographer and an Evanston scene,” said Jennifer Lasik, cultural arts coordinator for Evanston.
Glasoe initially offered to donate his work for the project, but the Evanston Arts Council voted to give him a small fee for the work anyway. “We think that artists should be paid for their work,” Lasik said. There are plans to continue “Outside the Box” beyond the pilot and fill Evanston with more decorated boxes, Lasik said. The hope is business districts will sponsor their own boxes to reflect the “cooperation and uniqueness of the neighborhoods,” she said. Lasik said they are hoping to see similar projects take place in areas such as on Chicago Avenue between Main and Dempster streets and Central Street. “We’d like businesses that feel passionate about beautifying their neighborhoods and their commercial districts to take on that and work with an artist, and work with us to get it done,” Lasik said. “(Lubin) got it done, and it has been one of the most popular art projects we’ve done in a long time.” zoemiller2020@u.northwestern.edu

identity. The theme of the summit was “Journey to the Center.” SESP senior Phan Le, chair of the planning committee for the event, said workshops encompassed topics like career awareness, mental health, gender identity and activism, among others. Summit attendees represented more than 18 universities across the Midwest, Le said. A group of about 11 students from the participating schools comprised the committee.

“Things weren’t sugar-coated, and I really liked that,” said Cheng Ying Moua, a freshman at Kalamazoo College. The event concluded with a banquet featuring performances from NU’s East-Asian interest a cappella group Treblemakers, NU’s Taekwondo club, the Deeva Dance Troupe and Manny Garcia, a Chicago singer songwriter. Le said the summit theme was ambiguous because organizers wanted attendees to form their own interpretations and opinions. “When I came up with this theme, I realized that not everyone has a very developed political identity,” Le said. “We’re all on our own journeys (but) there is a central core to our identity.” madeleinefernando2020@u.northwestern.edu

In addition to those changes, Kennedy said some branding updates will help make the gyms feel “a little more Northwestern.” Phillips said the renovations will have long-term benefits in addition to providing temporary varsity practice space. “There’s going to be a great benefit to the student body,” Phillips said. “We’re going to spend some real money on (it), because we want it to last for the next 20 or 30 years.” kristineliao2020@u.northwestern.edu

Wildcats crush Boilermakers, move one win away from bowl eligibility By TIM BALK
daily senior staffer @timbalk
Thorson and the Cats had most things go right Saturday and now sit only one win away from bowl eligibility. If NU can continue to capture turnovers and maintain its strong line play, it should be in good shape when it heads to Minnesota next week. But Fitzgerald noted that the team will need to avoid a slow start. In each of the Cats’ last three road wins, they’ve trailed at the end of the first quarter. “It’s something we continually talk about — about starting fast,” Fitzgerald said. “We can’t (start slow) in Minneapolis. We do that, we’re going to get blown out.”

passing yards. The Cats reversed a recent trend on the other side of the ball as well, as their defense entered the day without a turnover in the past two games. “You get tired of Coach Fitz yelling at you in practice about getting turnovers,” said junior linebacker Anthony Walker, who grabbed one of the interceptions. Sophomore cornerback Montre Hartage lead the way with a pair of picks. “We had a little fun today,” Hartage said. “Played with more energy than last week.” NU overcame an early 10-0 first quarter deficit en route to the win, but took the lead by halftime and used the big third quarter to take control. Unlike against Wisconsin, when Thorson was forced to attempt to mount an unsuccessful fourth quarter comeback, the signal caller spent much of the final frame against Purdue watching from the sideline as the team ran out the clock. “It was completely different,” Thorson said. “It’s nice to see some guys get in there and play.”

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – When a third quarter interception by junior linebacker Anthony Walker gave way to a 42-yard Northwestern touchdown pass, junior running back Justin Jackson had to do a double take. “It was weird because we were sitting on the bench and then got the interception, next play Garrett (Dickerson) scored, and we were right back on the bench,” Jackson said. “I was like, I feel like we were just here. Pretty cool to go out there and be effective offensively.” It was that kind of day for the Wildcats (5-5, 4-3 Big Ten), who rolled up more than 600 yards of offense and managed four interceptions on the road in a 45-17 blowout win over struggling Purdue (3-7, 1-6). The touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Clayton Thorson to his junior superback gave NU a 28-10 lead and put the Cats squarely in the driver’s seat, sending streams of
Purdue fans at Ross-Ade Stadium to the exits with more than 26 minutes of football still left to play. It was also part of a dominating third quarter in which NU scored 21 points. The performance ended a twogame losing streak for the Cats, who entered the day off a 21-7 loss to No. 7 Wisconsin. “Losing’s not fun,” Jackson said. “We definitely needed this game.” The win was made possible in part by an improved performance from the offensive line. Against Wisconsin, NU ran the ball for just 39 yards and struggled to protect Thorson. “We go as our offensive line goes,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “We got pretty well-handled against Wisconsin, and I thought that group really responded well today.” The line carved out enough holes for Jackson to roll up 127 rushing yards while his backup, redshirt freshman John Moten, picked up 119. The two are the first pair of rushers to each run for 100 yards in the same game for NU since 2013. Thorson, meanwhile, had enough time in the pocket to manage a career-high 352

Carr, Thorson approach records Northwestern has no By BOBBY PILLOTE
daily senior staffer @bobbypillote
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Another week, another laundry list of offensive milestones for Northwestern. The Wildcats (5-5, 4-3 Big Ten) easily dispatched the Purdue Boilermakers (3-7, 1-6) by a margin of 45-17, racking up 605 yards of total offense in the process. Along the way, sophomore quarterback Clayton Thorson and senior receiver Austin Carr set a new round of team and personal bests. Carr will continue his chokehold as the Big Ten’s leading receiver in catches, yards and touchdowns, having hauled in five passes for 92
yards and two scores. With 12 touchdown receptions this year, Carr is now tied with D’Wayne Bates for the most touchdown catches by an NU receiver in a season. “It’s pretty rare air,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “(Bates is) arguably one of the best that’s ever put on the purple and white.” On the year, Carr now has 75 catches for 1,102 yards, leaving him 19 receptions shy of the Cats’ single-season catch record and 143 yards short of NU’s single-season receiving yardage record. Thorson had a career day as well, setting a new personal best with 352 yards passing while accounting for three scores through the air and another one on the ground. With 19 passing touchdowns this year,
Thorson is now tied for third for the Cats’ single-season record, trailing Brett Basanez’s high-water mark of 21 set in 2005. It’s the second time this season Thorson has set a new passing yardage mark for himself, surpassing the 320 yards he amassed against Duke. “Our receivers were getting open, but (the offensive line) was playing real well,” Thorson said. “I had a lot of time back there. I think there were only one or two times where I was rushed to even make a throw.” Next week NU faces Minnesota, which ranks 13th in the Big Ten in passing yards allowed per game. Look for Carr and Thorson to continue their march on the record books. bpillote@u.northwestern.edu

trouble in home opener By JOSEPH WILKINSON
daily senior staffer @joe_f_wilkinson
Northwestern dominated from beginning to end on its way to a 94-63 seasonopening victory over Mississippi Valley State on Friday. The Wildcats (1-0) were led by sophomore Vic Law, who had a career-high 18 points while shooting 7-for-10 from the field in 26 minutes. Along with finishing a crowd-pleasing alley-oop, Law was hot from behind the arc and canned 3-of-4 threes. “I thought he played with a smile on his face,” coach Chris Collins said. “Just to see him relax and having fun playing basketball, I knew he was going to play well after the first couple minutes.” Law started the game with a mid-range jumper to get the scoring started for the Cats, and continued to lead the team throughout. The forward missed last year due to injury. “I worked on (my mid-range game) quite a lot,” Law said. “Being out you kind of have a year — and a year is a long time to work on things, so I kind of worked on everything.” Law also notched six rebounds. Senior forward Sanjay Lumpkin was also a force on the boards for the team, grabbing eight rebounds to lead the team. Lumpkin added 11 points on 3-of-4 shooting from the field and 5-of-6 at the free throw line. On the defensive end, NU held the Delta Devils (0-1) to 28 points in the first half and held a 46-28 lead at the break, allowing Collins to use much of his bench. Freshman guard Isiah Brown came in and played 18 minutes, scoring 11 points to secure the NU victory. Junior guard Scottie Lindsey started and provided the offensive spark for the team in the first half, scoring 13 points in the period and finishing with 17. “I was just ready to shoot,” Lindsey said. “We knew that we’d be able to drive, but we

knew that when we drove, they were going to be collapsing a lot, so we knew drive-and kicks would be open.” Backcourt mate and fellow junior Bryant McIntosh was mostly quiet, scoring 11 points and dishing out four assists. McIntosh struggled in the first half from the field, making only one of his five field goal attempts. The Cats showed a different look on the defensive end, playing a man-to-man defense in a departure from the hybrid matchup zone-like scheme they ran throughout much of conference play last year. Offensively, NU’s 94 points were more than it put up in all but two games last season. The Cats shot 50 percent from the field as a team and 42 percent from behind the arc. The home team also dominated on the glass, out-rebounding the Delta Devils 50-32 and grabbing 14 offensive boards. Largely absent from the rotation was sophomore wing Aaron Falzon, who played only 10 minutes and did not score. Falzon started 29 games as a freshman and logged almost 25 minutes per game. Collins said Falzon is dealing with knee injuries. “He’s gutting it out,” Collins said. “He’s not moving like he normally does, but it hasn’t effected his heart and his energy.” The first man off the bench was junior forward Gavin Skelly, who finished with seven points. Skelly chipped in on the defensive end as well, blocking four shots and grabbing five rebounds. The competition gets somewhat stiffer for NU in its next matchup on Monday against Eastern Washington, which won 18 games last season — 10 more than the Delta Devils. josephwilkinson2019@u.northwestern.edu
