Psychological Services if needed. But when Alye Miller did so earlier this quarter after the death of a close friend, she found herself referred to outside treatment within two sessions. Miller, a Communication senior, found herself “out of control” of her own feelings when her friend, incoming Weinberg senior Scott
Boorstein, took his own life in September. She reached out to CAPS this fall after already using eight sessions as a freshman, believing that the recent elimination of the center’s 12-session limit would guarantee her the grief counseling she needed. But Miller said she was disappointed to hear that the center was not able to fill
her needs due to a scarcity of long-term care resources. “I thought they got rid of the session limit,” she said. “I thought CAPS had redeemed itself in my book. But they hadn’t.” Miller is not the only student who reported being referred out by CAPS earlier
arrested on Nov. 3 at the Fort Hood military post in Killeen, Texas, according to a news release. Kyle was previously named in April as a suspect in BradfordMandujano’s murder. Bradford-Mandujano, 20, was murdered in the 1300 block of Darrow Avenue on Jan. 19 just after 9 p.m. The Evanston Police Department issued a warrant for first degree murder for Kyle.
Kyle was stopped by military police as he was attempting to enter Fort Hood. In his car, police allegedly found 300 grams of marijuana and four firearms — three of which had been reported stolen in Texas. Kyle threw a puppy in the face of a military police officer and tried to flee on foot, but was taken into custody, the news release said.
Officials later discovered Kyle was being sought by the U.S. Marshals Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force in connection with the murder of Bradford-Mandujano. Kyle has yet to be formally charged. EPD is working with the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office and Texas authorities to continue the investigation.
Northwestern alumnus Newton Minow (Speech ‘49, Law ‘50) received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the White House announced Wednesday. The prize, considered the highest civilian honor in the United States, was awarded to 21 individuals. Recipients were chosen for their contributions to the security or national interests of the country, cultural pursuits or world peace. After being appointed by President John F. Kennedy to serve on the Federal Communications Commission, Minow drafted legislation to advocate for the implementation of communication satellite technology and served as chair of the commission. He is also the originator of the televised U.S. presidential debates, and he co-chaired the debates in 1976 and 1980, according to a news release In 1975, Minow joined the Board of Trustees and became a Life Trustee 12 years later. Since then, the University used part of a $4 million gift to establish a professorship at the Pritzker School of Law in honor of Minow. The gift also helped fund a School of Law debate series named after Minow and his wife. “The Presidential Medal of Freedom is not just our nation’s highest civilian honor – it’s a tribute to the idea that all of us, no matter where we come from, have the opportunity to change this country for the better,” President Barack Obama said in a news release. “From scientists, philanthropists and public servants to activists, athletes and artists, these 21 individuals have helped push America forward, inspiring millions of people around the world along the way.” Other recipients of the award include Bill and Melinda Gates, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Ellen DeGeneres, Michael Jordan, Tom Hanks and Bruce Springsteen. The awards will be presented Nov. 22 at the White House.

Brandeis study says NU is antiSemitic ‘hotspot’ By ERICA SNOW
daily senior staffer @ericasnoww
Jewish leaders and students disputed the credibility of a Brandeis University study released in October that names Northwestern an anti-Semitic and anti-Israel “hotspot.” The study found that of 68 NU respondents, 70 percent said they at least somewhat perceived a hostile environment on campus toward Israel, and 28 percent said they at least somewhat agreed they perceived hostility toward Jews on campus. Additionally, 9 percent of respondents said they experienced an in-person antiSemitic insult or harassment on campus, and 17 percent reported feeling unwelcome at some point. But Michael Simon, Hillel’s executive director, said he believes the study is misleading. Simon said it is important to differentiate between students feeling uncomfortable and feeling threatened for their lives. “I don’t want to say there’s not anti-Israel sentiment because there is,” Simon said. “To characterize the atmosphere as being one that is pervasively anti-Semitic or even pervasively anti-Israel is just not born out in the lived experience of our students.” However, Simon also said there have been times Jewish students felt uncomfortable on campus, such as when Associated Student Government Senate passed a controversial resolution sponsored by NU Divest. The study, which also examined 49 other universities, estimated that NU’s undergraduate student body is roughly 15 percent Jewish, or about 1,400 students. Rabbi Dov Hillel Klein, the leader of Tannenbaum Chabad House and the advisor of Alpha Epsilon Pi, said while he wouldn’t call NU an anti-Semitic and anti-Israel “hotspot,” there is no empirical way to measure if NU is an anti-Semitic campus. However, it is clear that some students perceive it that way, he said. “Whether it’s reality or not, » See REPORT, page 9

Illinois politicians discuss budget priorities By NORA SHELLY
daily senior staffer @noracshelly
With the clock ticking on the state’s stopgap spending bill, legislative leaders met with Gov. Bruce Rauner this week to discuss budget priorities. After a year-long budget impasse, the General Assembly passed a six-month stopgap spending bill in late June that is set to run out on Dec. 31. A veto session started this week, in which Rauner and

the Republicans are expected to negotiate a budget for the rest of the fiscal year with House Speaker Michael Madigan (D-Chicago) and other Democrats. Rauner met with Madigan, Senate President Sen. John Cullerton (D-Chicago) and Republican legislative leaders Tuesday. Both Rauner and Madigan described the meeting with amicable terms. After the meeting, however, Madigan announced he was appointing a negotiating team for the House Democrats led by Rep. Greg Harris (D-Chicago).
Harris and other team members would be responsible for “balancing the budget and adopting a budget for the remainder of the fiscal year,” Madigan said. Senate Republican leader Rep. Christine Radogno (R-Lemont) said she was confused by Madigan’s announcement. “ This discussion now about balancing the budget … needs to be at the leaders level,” she said. “There was no agreement that there be another round of negotiating » See BUDGET, page 9
