City reflects on gay marriage anniversary

By JULIA JACOBS

the daily northwestern @juliarebeccaj

Evanston issued the most same-sex marriage licenses of Cook County suburbs in 2014, which is credited to the city’s diversity, progressive culture and close proximity to Chicago, said Mark Muenzer, the city’s director of community development and LGBT liaison.

Evanston issued 142 marriage licenses to same-sex couples in Cook County’s first year of legal same-sex marriage, according to a report released Feb. 18 by the county clerk.

“I’ve spoken with same-sex couples in Evanston, and they like being in Evanston because they know that there are other same-sex couples,” Muenster said. “They often have children and want to be in an environment where having parents of the same sex is supported.”

Ald. Mark Tendam (6th), the city’s first openly gay alderman, said the progressive nature of the community as well as the high quality of schools and other public amenities have made the city a magnet for LGBT couples moving north from Chicago.

“I don’t know any gay couple or lesbian couple in the city that isn’t part of a neighborhood and isn’t warmly received by neighbors,” Tendam said.

The election of two openly gay city officials, including Tendam and Evanston/Skokie School District 65 board member Richard Rykhus, also sends the message that Evanston is an accepting city, Tendam said.

In 2014 Evanston was one of only two Illinois cities analyzed, the other being Chicago, to score a 100 out of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign’s Municipal Equality Index system. Some of the qualities reviewed included nondiscrimination laws, relationship recognition, employee equality and fair law enforcement. In November, Evanston appointed Muenzer as its LGBT liaiThis son after city is a part of staff realized the process the lack of the position towards full was holding equality, it back from a p erfect towards lived score from equality. the HRC.

Top Suburbs for Same-Sex Couples by marriage licenses issued couples have married in Cook County, the clerk’s report said. The state has issued at least one license to a couple living in every Chicago zip code except two, and 113 out of 127 of the suburban Cook County municipalities.

“It shows that the LGBT community is everywhere,” said Michael Ziri, the director of public policy for Equality Illinois, the state’s largest advocacy group for the LGBT population. “They’re our neighbors, they’re our friends, they’re our brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers. … This is a part of the process towards full equality, towards lived equality.”

There was an instance in LGBT history when Evanston proved even more progressive than Chicago, Tendam said.

In 1988, Chicago City Council passed a human rights ordinance protecting lesbian, gay and bisexual people from discrimination in housing, employment and public accommodation, but Evanston was the first city in the state to extend those protections to transgender individuals in 1997.

Panel clarifies NU’s drug policy

By EMILY CHIN

the daily northwestern

Students for Sensible Drug Policy held a panel Thursday to clarify misconceptions around Northwestern drug policies.

Tara Sullivan, director of student conduct and conflict resolution, joined University and Evanston police officers at the event.

Weinberg junior Caroline Naughton, co-president of SSDP, led the discussion.

She explained that one of SSDP’s main objectives is a “know your rights” component. She asked panelists Sullivan, UP Sgt. Steve Stoeckl and EPD Officer Scott Sengenberger questions based on experiences students in SSDP have had with law enforcement.

“We think it’s powerful for students to be able to spread this education to their peers,” she told The Daily. “If we

clarify some of the misconceptions, this will foster a healthier relationship and make law enforcement jobs easier. It’s a two-way street.”

More than 20 students attended the panel, Naughton said.

Panelists discussed the NU’s Responsible Action Protocol, which calls on students who are present in dangerous, drug-related situations to call 911, stay with the person needing emergency care and cooperate with University officials.

“That you’re doing what you’re able to do to help the situation then you’re not held responsible for violations of our alcohol or other drug policies,” Sullivan said at the panel.

Sullivan said the biggest misconception is the idea that University officials don’t use the protocol regularly, when in reality they use it all the time, she said.

She also clarified that Evanston police aren’t required to follow the protocol.

“That wouldn’t help you in a

determination of guilt or innocence,” Sengenberger said at the panel. “What that helps you with is a determination of responsibility, whether it’s a sentencing or a fine or something along those lines.”

Another issue brought up during the panel was the amount of privacy students have in residence halls and off-campus housing. According to the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the government cannot search an individual without a search warrant.

This includes the police but not the University, which is a private entity, Sengenberger said.

The University housing contract gives resident assistants and Residential Life staff jurisdiction to enter and search a room, Sullivan said.

“There’s a lot of rumors, there’s a lot of things that are done in practice,” she » See RIGHTS, page 9

Biss: Debt could hurt child care centers

By KEVIN MATHEW

daily senior staffer @kevinwmathew

State Sen. Daniel Biss (D-Evanston) and representatives from the Childcare Network of Evanston and Illinois Action for Children said Thursday that the recent stoppage of state funds for child care centers will likely prevent local centers from taking on new families.

The five speakers at Thursday’s panel discussion at the Wilmette Community Recreation Center agreed the demonstrated long-term impact of child care investment should be enough to convince lawmakers to reinstate funding. However, they said grassroots political pressure would be needed to keep services funded into the next fiscal year starting July 1.

The audience of about 10 expressed skepticism that high profile politicians like Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan would value their opinion, but Biss was adamant that smaller voices mattered. “(State Sen.) Laura Fine (D-Glenview) votes for (Madigan),” he said. “And he’ll know from your address that Laura Fine cares about you.”

The state has fully spent the available Child Care Assistance Program funds and will need to fill the $300 million gap to continue funding centers. State funding has stopped entirely, limiting local child care centers to federal funding that covers less than half the original CCAP revenue.

Sessy Nyman, the policy and strategic partnerships vice president of Illinois Action for Children, said about 400 people attended an IAFC rally in Springfield on Feb. 19. She emphasized that grassroots movements can become strong if

people refuse to be intimidated by their opponent.

“There’s energy in a crowd,” she told The Daily. “We wanted to get folks together to get that energy, to know they are in this fight together.”

Childcare Network of Evanston executive director Andrea Densham said child care services are long-term investments in the community and the economy. Child care allows parents to maintain employment, healthy children and strong family relationships, she said. About 97 percent of the people CCAP supports are single parents, Nyman said.

Biss traced the “incompetence” in Illinois history before and during the financial crisis of the late 2000s. Slow or minor solutions to Illinois’ woes hit the breaking point when the CCAP began the 2015 fiscal year with a $200 million deficit, which grew to $300 million by January 2015.

State officials warned centers funding checks may come heavily delayed or potentially not at all. Centers plan to remain open, but without financial stability they will soon be forced to stop offering service to new applicants, Nyman said.

Gov. Bruce Rauner has proposed deep cuts in the 2016 budget. However, Rauner promised boosts to education funding in 2016 and a quick solution to the current crisis that has stalled investment in children. His budget address on Feb. 18 instead focused on pension reform, public universities and local income tax funding, a move predicted by Evanston officials in January.

“It appears that we are very close, literally days away, from a resolution. And every day counts,” he said in the address about the 2015 CCAP crisis. “Increasing » See CCAP, page 9

Around Town Art Center breaks ground at new home

By MARISSA PAGE

the daily northwestern @marissahpage

After three years of fundraising and searching for a location, the Evanston Art Center board broke ground Thursday at its new location at 1717 Central St. Builders from The Dobbins Group, the architecture and construction firm responsible for renovations of the space, began preliminary construction earlier in the week, putting up steel framing for walls on the second floor of the future art center.

Around 30 art center staffers, city officials and donors attended the informal event, perusing and discussing building plans with The Dobbins Group president Tom Dobbins and some of his architects and builders. Norah Diedrich, the art center’s executive director, and Tess Lickerman, the center’s board president, gave brief opening remarks, followed by comments from Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl and Ald. Jane Grover (7th). “Central Street is a wonderful place, but it’s

Police Blotter Metal stolen from Hartrey Avenue business

More than $1,500 worth of metal was stolen from the 200 block of Hartrey Avenue on Wednesday, police said.

Evanston police officers were dispatched around 10:15 a.m. Wednesday to Autobarn, 222 Hartrey Ave., where the manager told them that unknown people had cut the lock and chain off the fence on the west side of the business, Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said. They then took about $1,500 of various metal parts from a red dumpster. The manager, 58, said this happened sometime between Feb. 17 at 10 a.m. and Feb. 25 at 7:30

going to be incredibly much more wonderful once (the art center is) open,� Tisdahl said. “The art center has always nourished the arts in Evanston, and we are so appreciative of all the work that you’ve done because, at the end of the day, art makes us better people.�

Paula Danoff, the director of development and communications for the center, said she was especially enthralled by the proposed gallery space, which will feature large windows and sliding doors to provide a cohesive flow between exhibits. “There’s nothing else like this in Evanston, a contemporary art gallery space, outside of Northwestern,� Danoff said. “It’ll just be clean, and the artists can just come in and make the space whatever they want it to be.�

The center is currently housed in the Harley Clarke Mansion, a nearly 90-year-old house on the lakefront where the art center has resided since the late 1960s. This space poses limitations for artists looking to display their work, with minimal wall and gallery space available, Danoff said.

Diedrich said she feels nostalgic about her history at Harley Clarke but looks forward to a.m., Dugan said.

Dugan said he believed it could be scrappers who broke in to take and sell scrap metal.

The metal has not been recovered and no suspects have been identified, he said.

License plate stolen Wednesday

A woman reported on Wednesday that she had discovered her front license plate was gone, Dugan said.

The 27-year old noticed her license plate was missing on Tuesday at about 6 p.m. She told police she usually parks her 2003 Dodge Ram on the street in the 100 block of Custer Avenue, Dugan said.

Suspects are unknown at this time, he said. — Stephanie Kelly

the opportunities the new space presents. “I’m most excited about all the new people that will be able to take part,� Diedrich said. “Everybody is talking about and concentrating on the building, but it’s not the building.

It’s the people who are going to animate the space.�

The new arts center is slated to be finished by the beginning of May with the center’s spring benefit scheduled for May 16, a deadline both Dobbins and Diedrich said could be ambitious. “We’re currently working on four projects in the Evanston area,� Dobbins said. “We’ll be racing to the finish line for May 1.�

Diedrich expressed particular concern for the possibility of poor weather conditions slowing construction. “Everything that goes up has an order,�

Diedrich said. “You put this up, then you can’t put the next thing up until the previous thing is done. If the weather doesn’t improve next week, that’s gonna delay us, so that’s a worry.� marissapage2018@u.northwestern.edu

Setting the record straight In Thursday’s print edition, the story “Voucher program to fund event tickets� misquoted SESP sophomore Matt Herndon. Herndon said, “Originally, it was developed as a possible program for QuestBridge scholars and also Pell Grant recipients. However, 14 percent of campus is eligible for Pell Grants, and that’s very broad.�

On Campus Lawyer discusses human rights violations in Mexico

By MARIANA ALFARO

the daily northwestern @marianaa_alfaro

More than 26,000 people have been forcibly disappeared in Mexico since 2005, said Alejandra Ancheita, a Mexican lawyer and human rights defender, Thursday night at the McCormick Foundation Center Forum.

Ancheita, founder and executive director of ProDESC, a non-governmental group that aims to defend and promote human rights, visited Northwestern to speak about human rights violations in Mexico following the disappearance of 43 students from a teachers college in Ayotzinapa.

The night of Sept. 26, 2014, 43 students went missing in the town of Iguala, Guerrero, Mexico. After a series of investigations, protests and arrests, authorities believe the students were killed and their bodies were burned by members of the local crime syndicate Guerreros Unidos under apparent orders of thenIguala Mayor Jose Luis Abarca.

The alleged kidnapping shook international media

and has become the biggest political and public security scandal that Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto has faced in his term because at least 22 suspects arrested were police officers. Many, including Ancheita, have called on the government to demand justice and respect for human rights. “One cannot speak about the general state of human rights in Mexico today without mentioning emblematic cases like Tlatlaya and Ayotzinapa,� Ancheita said at the event hosted by the Buffett Institute.

Tlatlaya, a 2014 incident in which Mexican soldiers killed 22 alleged members of a criminal group, was the bloodiest massacre in Pena Nieto’s presidential tenure before Ayotzinapa happened later that year. “The involvement of law enforcement agents in the forced disappearance of 43 students from Ayotzinapa last September is further evidence of the institutionalized use of violence,� Ancheita said.

Ancheita also said the crime is further proof of the faults the Mexican government refuses to address. “The failure to discover the whereabouts of all but one of the students has (raised) serious doubts over the investigatory capacity of the state as well as the incapacity to identify and bring those responsible to

justice,� she said.

She also spoke about the dangers and attacks many human rights defenders face in Mexico. “The increasing number of attacks against human rights defenders and the failure to hold those responsible accountable is further evidence of the climate of corruption and impunity in which law enforcement institutions in Mexico operate,� Ancheita said.

Ancheita, who has faced threats and dangers because of her job, said her office supports victims of human rights violations, litigates in national and international cases, cooperates with international committees like the United Nations and advises other local human rights associations.

Ancheita also spoke about the importance of Mexican students who have gone out to the streets, spoken against these injustices and protested against the government, and she encouraged NU students to support the fight against the violations, even from afar. “Being in communication with the organizations that are supporting these families and sending letters and videos directly to their families is important to them and I think that is a good way to support them,� she told The Daily. “Asking the U.S. government about

the support that is given to the Mexican government to address these issues is also an important thing.�

Sofia Rada, event organizer and Buffett Institute student fellow, said the crime proved how badly the Mexican government is doing. “Finally, here is the proof that the (Mexican) government is not doing things right and that it’s not just the drug cartels,� the Medill sophomore told The Daily. “Maybe now people will pay attention.�

Gwen Stern (Weinberg ’70,’76), who helps raise funds for Semillas, a women’s group in Mexico, said she attended the event because one of the groups Semillas gives grants to is ProDESC. Stern said she was glad she finally got to meet someone who works in the organization. “(Ancheita) was very effective, especially making the point that this is not an isolated incident in Mexico, this has happened all over,� she said. “What I would’ve liked to hear more about is the impunity of the judicial system there that no one ever gets prosecuted for anything. If they prosecute anybody for this, that will be a step forward.� marianaalfaro2018@u.northwestern.edu

High school welcomes Northwestern student groups

By ALICE YIN

daily senior staffer @Alice__Yin

Northwestern student groups met with their Evanston Township High School counterparts Thursday afternoon to discuss collaboration.

The symposium, hosted at the high school, 1600 Dodge Ave., brought nine NU student groups to talk to ETHS students and faculty involved in similar activities. Areas of interest included student government, theater, community service, the LGBT community and more.

About 35 people attended the symposium, which was planned by Associated Student Government’s community relations committee, ETHS faculty and

ETHS senior MD Shelton, of ETHS Student Senate.

Each club sat with its NU counterpart and had a guide of suggested icebreakers and discussion questions. Student leaders also exchanged contact information for future collaboration.

Shelton, who also is part of the ETHS Model United Nations, said the event helped his club gain valuable connections. For the first time, ETHS students in the club will be able to attend NU’s Model U.N. conference, he said. He also said potential visits to NU classes are in the works. “They can get real life experiences at a high school age,� Shelton said, “which is very, very beneficial.�

Communication junior Talia Weingarten and Communication senior Sam Garrott visited as representatives for Arts Alliance, an NU student arts and theater group, and talked to a representative from

foolish,� Garrott said. “We’re interested in telling people that we heard people tell us that and we ignored it and pursued it.�

ASG’s community relations committee has been working on expanding its definition of community for some time, vice president of community relations Kevin Harris said. The Weinberg junior said the idea was formed late Fall Quarter and has been in the works for a few months.

He said the symposium event would simply spark the initial connection. ASG hopes to add more ETHS-NU symposia in the future. “We’ll see how it goes from today and get feedback,�

Harris said. “The point is to make relationships sustainable from outside (ASG) organization.�

Have the courage to support NU student activism NOAH KANE

DAILY COLUMNIST

Beginning in the 1960s, Northwestern students mobilized in favor of a variety of causes, ranging from boycotting grapes to ending the Vietnam War. In the most famous protest of the decade, more than 100 black students occupied the bursar’s office in 1968 and presented University administration with a list of demands they believed would make campus more inclusive.

After 38 tense hours, negotiations between the students and the administration concluded.

NU leadership released a joint statement with the Afro-American Student Union and For Members Only that recognized that, historically, “the University in its overwhelming character has been a white institution.� Administrators agreed to a number of tangible and actionable steps. They pledged to admit more black students and established salaried positions in the admissions office for black students in pursuit of this goal. In addition, they granted black students the right to a private space to meet, organize and hold events, which eventually became the Black House at 1914 Sheridan

Letter to the Editor

On erasure of experience Last Wednesday, I stood in front of my peers and spoke in support of NUDivest. I implied that the opposition was engaging in racist rhetoric. Today, I am no longer implying.

I am explicitly stating that I and countless others were victims of violent language.

After the divestment resolution passed, I heard and read accounts of students claiming that Jewish identity was under attack and that I, an NUDivest organizer, have somehow erased a history of Jewish oppression.

These claims linger, waiting for substantiation but absorbed as truths nonetheless. I find these claims deeply disturbing, problematic and offensive. How do I erase other experiences when I speak of my own? How does speaking of my own marginalization and oppression as an Arab-American woman attack the Jewish identity? These claims are unwarranted and serve as a tool to derail dialogue about the oppression of Palestinian people.

For decades, the tactic of tying pro-Palestinian perspectives with anti-Jewish sentiment has been used to silence and marginalize pro-Palestinian voices. There was not a single speech on Wednesday that attacked the Jewish identity or stated that Jews have not had a history of oppression. On the contrary, every person who spoke on Wednesday was afforded the time to speak on his or her own identity and experience.

We, NUDivest supporters, shared narratives of our oppression both on and off campus because that is how we have personally related to the struggle of Palestinians and why we choose to stand in solidarity with them. It can be uncomfortable to learn about oppression, and I reiterate that comfort is not a right, but a privilege.

In looking for examples of erasure of

Road. The Black House is now the headquarters of African-American Student Affairs.

Despite the students’ victory, reactions to the protest were in many cases negative. Four hundred NU students signed a petition that “(deplored) the meansâ€? the activists used but remained silent on whether the ends the sit-in accomplished were laudable. The document called for disciplinary action against the students who participated, citing the fact that they had “turned their back upon the democratic process.â€? A Chicago Tribune editorial, entitled “A Sad Day for Northwestern,â€? echoed this sentiment, claiming the protesters had staged “an invasion, pure and simple ‌ in no way different from the occupation of the home of a private citizen.â€? The same article claimed the black students’ legitimate demands â€?showed their hatred of whitesâ€? and “(represented) discrimination in its ultimate form.â€?

The sit-in came at a time of insidious racism in Chicago and long-overdue demographic change at NU. In a truth that lays bare my own privilege, black students began enrolling at the University in 1966, not long after the birth of my college-educated parents. The first class of black freshmen numbered only 54.

Meanwhile, 14 miles to the south, the Federal Housing Administration of the United States government redlined majority-black neighborhoods in an effort to deny black homeowners experience, look no further than the racist comments that were made last Wednesday.

Many who spoke in opposition to the resolution spoke in colonial language on behalf of Middle Eastern women, Middle Eastern queers, black South Africans and Palestinians, to name a few. The struggles of aforementioned groups were used as a talking point empty of any real empathy or solidarity, to, ironically, derail actual empathy and solidarity.

As an Arab woman who proudly wears a hijab, I felt like I was going to throw up when I heard a man drop this claim: “Israel is the only country in the Middle East where women can what they want.�

I can’t imagine wear Not only is this factuhow it must ally incorrect, but it is an appropriation have felt to of my struggle for his be one of the agenda. If I felt this way, I can’t imagine Palestinian it must have students in that how felt to be one of the space sitting Palestinian students by while their in that space sitting by while their agency was agency was repeatedly stripped away. repeatedly To students who stripped away. complain about being called racist: Speaking on behalf of Palestinians, Arabs and Middle Easterners at large, insisting that you know what’s best for them is racist. There’s anti-colonial language for that: the white savior complex. Repeatedly stating that all speech must be kept civil, painting NUDivest as extremists incapable of dialogue and implying that people of color are angry or uncivilized are forms of racism, and it is our moral imperative to reject racism in all of its forms.

mortgage insurance. This racist system gutted property values in these communities, redirecting prospective investment in them to white neighborhoods. At NU and in Chicago, black people often found themselves fighting a losing battle for space, respect and safety. In this context, the demands of the protesters and the urgency of their tactics make sense.

Palestine is far from Evanston. But many students who suffer as a result of the oppression of its people — which, no matter your view on Palestinian resistance, is happening — are with us here and now. I say this not to discredit the experiences of students with ties to Israel, but to highlight the struggles — of which I was largely unaware — that Northwestern Divest supporters have helped bring to light.

NUDivest’s resolution may merely recommend against certain investments. The University may not even invest in any of the companies the resolution lists — it said last week it does not do so directly. Despite this, it has received dramatically mixed reactions. Was the campaign successful? I say, “yes,� not because the resolution passed, but because we’re all still talking about it.

I’ve spoken to many students about NUDivest, and a popular opinion is that the campaign, while well-intentioned, led to an unproductive, divisive and even racist debate.

Multiple editorials in The Daily have engaged that criticism, which I ironically find counterproductive. I consider it less pressing to pass judgment on the movement — which might have no tangible policy implications for the University — than to suggest ways we can learn from it. As a direct result of NUDivest, I’ve felt compelled to educate myself about the Gaza occupation. As a direct result of many of its proponents’ personal stories of oppression and marginalization at home and abroad, I’ve gained a profound respect for their strength in the face of unfathomable adversity.

I fear that history has repeated itself in negative reactions to NUDivest, and that nearly half a century after the sit-in at the bursar’s office, we have learned precious little. Activism is not meant to be pleasant, but to be noticed. It is not meant to be comfortable, but to reveal the discomfort of the silenced. And although the resolution passed as part of a democratic process, some still claim that its success was undemocratic, echoing criticism of past social movements at NU. Perhaps we are not as far from 1968 as we sometimes allow ourselves to feel.

Why we should confront sexual harassment RHYTHA ZAHID HEJAZE DAILY COLUMNIST

I was walking briskly back to our car from a mall basement in Pakistan. My parents followed at their own pace. Two men walked by, and one made a lewd comment.

I pretended I didn’t hear and kept walking, expressionless.

That bothered me. Ignoring the comment bothered me more than the comment itself. “Why did I not confront him?� I asked myself, as I walked up the stairs.

I didn’t want to bother. It would’ve been a big fuss, and cultured people, as I’ve been taught, don’t create a fuss. They ignore impropriety.

As I walked down the road, a man called out at me in a drunken voice.

I stopped, turned and looked at him.

He was slightly shaking his head, looking straight at me. I glanced over to Dad who’d also stopped in his steps, staring at the man.

Dad had the “what-the-eff � expression on his face.

The man looked at Dad, terrified. And then the 10-minute berating by Dad started.

A lot of people gathered. I moved away. That man was getting way more than he bargained for.

I had to hide my smile. A tiny part of me felt Dad said way too much, but a big part of me was pleased. “To clean dirt sometimes, you have to get dirty,� I thought to myself.

That’s when I decided to confront people who felt it was acceptable to say whatever they wanted and do whatever they thought was okay.

I shared this thought with my sister-inlaw when I came home that day. The public makes fun of the victim in these cases, she said, if you take a stand. She described an incident where a man inappropriately touched a woman, and that woman turned and landed a slap right across his face. “But then the guy wouldn’t dare to do that to anyone else,� I said. She agreed.

My oldest sister always said men in Pakistan stared so much because they were sexually frustrated. Men in other countries had more sexual freedom, which helped. She used Canada, where she’s been living for the past eight years, as an example.

I believed in her theory until I had the chance to go to Cuba last summer for a political science course. I noticed men in Cuba had all the sexual freedom in the world, but that didn’t stop them from

winking, blowing kisses and passing sexually aggressive comments at me.

I interviewed a waitress at La California Restaurant for my final paper. A line of chefs stared at me the whole time. “Why do they stare so much?� I asked the waitress. “It’s their way of saying, ‘You’re so beautiful. I cannot take my eyes off you,’� she said.

I shared this with my class over dinner that night, as way of coming to terms with it.

Sean Burns, our political science professor, said it was “bulls—.� “The stares were because the men weren’t pressured by a women’s rights movement to be more discreet in public,� he said later.

Even here in Qatar, sexual harassment is prevalent.

Last summer, I took an exchange student from Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar to the ritzy Villaggio Mall to help her shop.

We were getting groceries when someone or something touched my behind. I didn’t even turn. Whatever touched me, I wanted to give that thing the benefit of the doubt.

Maybe it was an accident, I thought to myself.

As I looked at the men in thobes, the traditional Qatari dress, walk ahead of me, they turned and smirked.

I was angry, and even when I knew it wasn’t an accident, I didn’t do anything about it. I chose to be “civil� rather than stand up for myself. Growing up, I wasn’t taught the art of confrontation. I always saw everyone, including my sisters, just ignore sexual harassment.

But I’m not doing that anymore. Two weeks ago, when I was in public, a man was staring at me and twice he passed comments I couldn’t understand. I only understood the word “nice� being used. “What? Are you saying something to me?�

I asked, clearly ready to smash his face. “No, I’m not saying anything,� he replied.

And that felt good. He could harass me until I confronted him about it, but not after.

I have witnessed sexual harassment in Pakistan, India, Qatar and Cuba, and I’ve only ever been to six countries. For two of them, I probably didn’t stay long enough to witness or experience it. It’s one of the reasons I haven’t yet found a country that I can call home, where I can feel completely safe.

And I don’t see how pretending I can’t hear any vulgar comments changes that.

BEST MILKSHAKE

#&45

BEST BURGER With its decadent flavor, perfectly fluffy whipped cream and heart-attack-inducing size, the Edzo’s Burger Shop milkshake had this category on lock before voting even began.

Edzo’s, 1571 Sherman Ave., not only packs a serious punch with its truffle fries and burgers, but its milkshakes are the best thing to happen to ice cream since astronauts figured out how to eat sundaes in space. With fab-o flavors like Nutella, coffee and maple, each milkshake maven who walks through Edzo’s’ doors is sure to find a choice to make his or her taste buds sing. And the sheer size of an Edzo’s shake also sets it apart from the competition.

If that wasn’t enough to ensure Edzo’s won the gold in the milkshake category, the restaurant calls its milkshakes “The Five Dollar Milkshake,� which seems to be a nod to “Pulp Fiction.� The drink itself is actually $4.75, but like the delicious shakes Edzo’s serves up, everyone loves a good pop culture reference.

Since placing third in this very category in 2013, Edzo’s Burger Shop, 1571 Sherman Ave., has fought off the competition to earn the title of best burger this year. When I mull over my own experiences with the juicy masterpieces served by the local establishment, the reasons for the burger joint’s triumph are clear. Fresh and flavorful, the burgers seem to capture the friendly vibes and welcoming atmosphere of the restaurant. I can never stop myself from going all the way and ordering a triple griddled burger (even if I have a few regrets later). Edzo’s also offers a char burger, a turkey burger, a veggie burger and the possibility to upgrade your beef, aiming to please its wide variety of customers. No matter which type I get, I always find myself daydreaming about the sumptuous creations for the rest of the day. The texture of the meat enables the patties to retain their shape in the bun while melting away into waves of taste bud ecstasy with each bite. Beyond burgers, Edzo’s is also famed for its extensive menu of fries and milkshakes. I can say only one thing to anyone going to Edzo’s for “just a burger:� good luck.

Still a relative new kid on the Evanston dining scene, Naf Naf Grill, 1629 Orrington Ave., has become a staple for Northwestern students since its opening just over a year ago. Although students of all dietary persuasions can enjoy the build-your-own deliciousness at Naf Naf, vegetarian students in particular find good variety and taste at the restaurant.

Assembling a Naf Naf entree is a delicious expedition. You start with the base, four vegetarian options — rice, hummus, pita or salad. Then comes the substance. Of course, you can’t mention Mediterranean vegetarian cuisine without the obvious — falafel.

Naf Naf packs your creation with a healthy serving of flavorful, fresh falafel, and then allows you to layer this base with several different unique vegetarian options, from Mediterranean pickles to spicy S’khug sauce. Meals run cheap (around $8-10), making this a satisfying dining experience for both your belly and your budget.

Not only is Naf Naf vegetarian friendly, but its falafel and vegetarian side dishes are also vegan. Its no-fuss menu clearly denotes which of its items are vegetarian/vegan, essentially everything Naf Naf offers other than steak and chicken shawarma. The fresh, simple variety and flavors at Naf Naf make it a great destination for vegheads and carnivores alike.

This frozen custard locale is the go-to place for any occasion in need of a sweet and frozen pick-me-up. The menu’s variety will satisfy everyone in a group, with simple and extravagant options including cones, sundaes, concretes, shakes and root beer floats. A treat from Andy’s Frozen Custard, 719 Church St., is the perfect ending to a meal from another Evanston eatery or it can make up for an unsatisfying dining hall dinner.

It’s also the place to go for PA group reunions or celebrations of any kind. There is nothing better than going to Andy’s to eat away all your worries about a midterm or to rejoice after handing in a paper. The concretes are so rich — the perfect dessert to share with a friend — making it more affordable and less sinful to indulge in something as great as the James Brownie Funky Jackhammer, which is vanilla custard with peanut butter, brownie and a hot fudge filling in the center.

One can never get bored with the options at Andy’s because of the seasonal and special flavors, as well as the freedom to customize concretes, sundaes and shakes. The Pumpkin Pie Concrete and the Candy Cane Concrete are seasonal favorites that provide festive options beyond peppermint mochas and pumpkin spice lattes at Starbucks. Disclaimer: Frozen custard is not thought to be ideal in the winter, but Andy’s is warm enough inside that it is perfectly enjoyable if you wait to leave until you have finished eating. For the adventurous customer, each visit to Andy’s is also an opportunity to experiment with a new combination of toppings in a shake or concrete.

Loyalty is rewarded with Andy’s Yum Squad rewards program. Once registered with a Yum Squad card, each dollar spent earns a point. Once you reach 50 points, you earn a free treat worth up to $5, so repeated visits are definitely beneficial in the long run.

Giordano’s Pizzeria is known for its deep dish Chicago-style stuffed pizza and has been called “Chicago’s Best Pizza� by numerous media outlets. Giordano’s also claims the Best WildCARD Discount in this year’s Best of Evanston.

Two Italian immigrants opened the first Giordano’s in 1974 on Chicago’s South Side. Today, it exists in three different states and it’s hard not to find one in the Chicago area, as more than 40 locations exist in and around Chicago, including the Evanston location with its prime spot close to Northwestern’s campus, at the corner of Davis Street and Chicago Avenue. Here, Northwestern students, faculty, contractors and part-time/temporary employees receive a 20 percent discount with the use of their WildCARDs. Both students and Giordano’s have benefited from the discount, which started in the early 2000s, said Dan Bruss, general manager of Giordano’s. “It’s a relationship we build,� Bruss said.

Giordano’s offers pizza — the go-to food for most college students — but also serves appetizers, salads, pastas and sandwiches, which means it’s hard to go wrong when dining here. Pizza from Giordano’s is a frequent choice made by students, and the addition of the WildCARD discount certainly doesn’t hurt.

Once the drunchies hit, Northwestern students transform from studious scholars to loyal customers at one of Evanston’s best late-night dining options: Cheesie’s Pub & Grub, 622 Davis St. We don’t know what it is about the grilled cheese sandwiches, but options like The Mac, with creamy mac ‘n’ cheese nestled between two slices of buttery Texas toast, give a slice of heaven every time we visit.

The late-night hours, convenient location and mouthwatering menu won Cheesie’s the spot as Evanston’s best for the Drunchies.

The restaurant serves alcoholic beverages and affordable grilled cheese sandwiches and sides ranging from $4 to $9 — every college student’s dream. The food redefines “gooey goodness� and is available at your beck and call until 3 a.m.

Even better, Cheesie’s offers a 10 percent discount for students with their WildCARDs and a double discount on Wednesdays.

So, whether you have an affinity for all things grilled cheese, just need to see the Stephen Colbert painting because #GoCats or have the drunchies, kill the craving at Cheesie’s, located at 622 Davis St.

Chipotle Mexican Grill is as good as fast food gets in Evanston. For less than $10 you can get a meal big enough to keep you full for the rest of the day. Drinks are also in a reasonable price range, and (if you’re over 21), margaritas are also available. If you want to treat yo ‘self, you can always add guacamole (swoon) for $1.95.

As a Mexican, I recognize Chipotle is far from authentic Mexican food. However, I’ll take a chicken burrito with brown rice and black beans any day, because Chipotle is so much more than your regular Mexican-American food joint (I’m looking at you, Taco Bell.) Calories are listed for every meal, and if you want to cut carbs you can easily make your burrito a salad. That’s beautiful. Evanston’s Chipotle is always buzzing with students and community members diving into burrito bowls, salads and the occasional quesadilla. Its new sofritas menu is actually pretty tasty and it opens up fast-food dining options for vegetarian and vegan customers. Also, carnitas, the crowd-favorite that went missing early January this year, are back! Chipotle is also known for its “Food With Integrity� commitment, and it promises its ingredients are raised sustainably and that the franchise supports the farmers who grow the food.

So whether you’re on a budget, in a rush, on a break from your diet, environmentally friendly or just simply hungry, Chipotle is definitely the best option in Evanston for you.

This year’s best new restaurant winner, DMK Burger & Fish, 815 Noyes Street, took the burger game up a notch when it opened in February 2014. Co-owners David Morton and Michael Kornick may be new to Evanston, but they’re not new to the restaurant scene, opening the DMK Restaurants franchise together in 2009.

DMK’s menu includes six different grass-fed burger options, as well as fish sandwiches and a shake of the day to curb every lunchtime or late night craving. Want fries with that? No problem. Their “Great Chicago Fries� section sports six different deep-fried treats.

Although the menu is reminiscent of a typical burger joint, the decor screams ‘swanky.’ With red lighting, sleek metal stools and transparent walls lined with floor to ceiling windows, DMK creates a cooler, more date-ready atmosphere than similar restaurants in Evanston. From its food to its feel, DMK took Evanston by storm this year and will wear its much-deserved Best of Evanston crown well.

Le Peep, 827 Church St., offers flavorful breakfast dishes, perfect after a long night out or studying. It is particularly known for its omelets and panhandled skillets, each offered in a wide range of options. Aside from the usual breakfast fare, it also offers a selection of Mexican breakfast dishes including the Desperado: chorizo sausage, green chilies and onions all covered in homemade salsa and capped with combo cheese and basted eggs. Otherwise, plenty of variety and vegetarian options abound, so it really is the prime spot to grab some friends and satisfy everyone.

A feature that attracts students is also the friendly environment and quick service, which is vital in the hectic life of a college student. Even though the restaurant can attract a crowd, the staff is always warm and accommodating so the atmosphere is never too frantic.

At Le Peep, the food is hearty and filling, the service is fast and welcoming and students can take advantage of the WildCARD discount, so they don’t have to bust their wallets to enjoy a quality, homey meal.

BEST PLACE for DINNER with the FAMILY

— Alex Putterman

Bat 17 fits perfectly in the take-your-family niche: good food, relaxed atmosphere, good location, efficient service. As a many-time winner in the “Best Restaurant� and “Best Burger� categories, Bat 17, 1709 Benson Ave., will leave mom/dad/brother/sister/grandpa/ grandma/aunt/uncle/etc. more than satisfied with their meals. Your family will have numerous sandwiches to choose from, no matter their tastes, with vegetarian and gluten-free options as well. The burgers are the main draw, but the rest of the menu is impressive without being too intimidating or upscale.

Meanwhile, Bat 17 provides the best aspects of a sports bar setup (televisions, energy) without the worst ones (noise, unruliness). Typically full of students, it feels proudly collegiate, the type of place that would be a campus hangout in a movie about college kids. It’s the sort of vibe that launches your parents into monologues about their own youth and makes your little siblings think your school is cool. With a convenient location on Benson Avenue, Bat 17 offers easy access to the rest of downtown Evanston, and if you hope to take your family to a movie, the theater is right around the corner.

If your family has traveled far to see you, they probably haven’t eaten much. And because Bat 17’s delicious food is delivered in large portions, they won’t leave hungry.

Two’s a coincidence, but three’s a trend.

Bat 17, 1709 Benson Ave., has claimed the Best Evanston Restaurant title for the third year in a row and not without good reason. The sandwich shop/bar/breakfast place has a lot to offer — literally. Bat 17 isn’t cheap, but it doesn’t skimp on its portions. Order a regular size sandwich for a hearty serving or a full size one if you’re in the mood for a feast. There’s variety, too, from the classic turkey or corned beef to tilapia or pastrami, and a selection of sliders and juicy 10-ounce burgers. If you’re not a meat lover, Bat 17 has a sizable salad and vegetarian sandwich menu. But the star of the show is really the unexpected kick you get from the restaurant’s spicy potato salad.

Bat 17 also doubles as a well-stocked bar with tons of drink specials and offers a breakfast menu that would do Ron Swanson proud. It’s no wonder it’s an Evanston mainstay.

6OJWFSJUZ -JCSBSZ University Library, one of the largest libraries in a private university, is a prime study spot. With three five-story towers that offer multiple study spaces, quiet zones and a delicious cafe, the library is the place to go if you have to read four chapters of your history book or if you need to do some last-minute studying for your chemistry final.

Its central location makes it easily accessible to all students, though many North Campus students prefer Mudd Science and Engineering Library due to its location within Technological Institute.

The library, right across from Norris University Center, offers students a chance to take a break from the buzz of student life, and it is also a haven from the cold. The study rooms in the towers are the perfect space for when you need to study with a group or finish a team project. The library commons are also a great place to share and cooperate with your classmates, and it is usually the loudest section of the library, while periodicals is a quiet space where you can relax and read a fresh edition of “The New Yorker.�

Up in the towers, there are a lot of places you can sit down with your textbooks and lose track of time. If you sit by a window in one of the North towers, you get a great view of the Lakefill, which is a particularly relaxing view when it’s snowing and you see the snowflakes trickle down, reminding you you’re nice and cozy while the tundra continues outside. – Mariana Alfaro

As a college student, Wi-Fi is your best friend.

Fighting over outlets — though not ideal — is something you’re more than willing to do. And having a TV to watch that big game, or just to watch something to procrastinate, is an absolute must.

Lo and behold, the Starbucks in Norris University Center has it all: strong Wi-Fi, lots of working outlets and huge TVs. And the added benefit that you’re sure to run into a friend, or two or three, who can help you procrastinate, or maybe help you figure out that chemistry problem you’ve been holed up in the library trying to solve for the whole afternoon.

At Northwestern, technology is incorporated into everything you do academically and socially.

One of the few popular brand stores in Evanston, it is a go-to place for the many women of Northwestern in search of a new outfit or a gift for a friend.

It never fails to keep up with trends. Crop tops, jumpsuits, maxi skirts, wild graphic tees — they have ‘em all. Although Urban’s hippie vibes can be overwhelming at times, spend some time exploring, and you can score some classy sweaters or shorts that can be worn on a daily basis.

However, that is not the end of this hipster haven. They also have edgy accessories that will spice up your casual or party outfits.

It’s time to trade in that Starbucks gold card for CVS Pharmacy’s red ExtraCare card.

Conveniently located near campus, CVS, 1711 Sherman Ave., is the one-stop shop for college students and downtown Evanston residents alike. Whether it’s getting a flu shot or getting something for those pesky spring allergies, CVS has got its customers covered, making membership in the ExtraCare Rewards Program all the more worthwhile.

Being an ExtraCare member has two main benefits: ExtraSavings and ExtraBucks Rewards.

Members have access to ExtraSavings, personalized coupons and in-store offers, which they can find online and on their receipts. However, perhaps more exciting, coupons can be printed at CVS kiosks after scanning an ExtraCare card. Too lazy to search online or travel to the store for coupons? ExtraCare members can also get savings and rewards sent directly to their emails.

Customers can also earn ExtraBucks, or “free CVS money,� according to the CVS website. ExtraBucks are earned through making purchases or filling prescriptions at CVS. In addition, featured ExtraCare offers may net customers more ExtraBucks than usual.

Not willing to get rid of that gold card just yet? Try a keychain card or link the ExtraCare card to the CVS Pharmacy mobile app. As usual, CVS has everyone covered.

With all of its perks (not to mention it’s free), there’s no doubt CVS’ ExtraCare program is here to stay. – Benjamin Din

Naughton said the most interesting point brought up in the panel was the amount of cooperation students often have with law enforcement officials. Students often don’t want to answer to the police, Sengenberger said. However, that will have worse ramifications for them in the long run.

“There is a misconception that consent is the same as physical permission,” he said. “So if a police officer says, ‘Let me in’ and you don’t let him in, then you actually could be violating the law at that time, you

Naughton said that although the panelists answered the questions, she was sometimes frustrated. There were limits to what the panelists could say because they represented the view of their employers, rather than their own opinions, she said.

However, she said the event went well overall and she was pleased with the dynamic between the speakers and what they had to say.

NU faces tough No. 2 North Carolina as issues at draw persist

As No. 6 Northwestern enters its fourth week of the season and looks ahead to No. 2 North Carolina on Saturday, there are a few patterns coach Kelly Amonte Hiller’s squad is settling into.

The Wildcats (3-1) depend on freshman Selena Lasota for the bulk of their tallies against teams both formidable and less imposing. The midfielder scored 5 of NU’s 9 goals in a 15-9 loss to Duke that dropped NU one slot in the rankings and followed that performance with a 6-goal game at unranked Marquette on Saturday.

Lasota also caused six turnovers at Marquette and

From page 1 funding for our youngest is the smart and the compassionate thing to do.”

Biss’ statement after the address claimed the budget asked too much from social services.

“The Governor’s proposal singles out working families and the most vulnerable among us for the deepest cuts,” he said in his statement.

Nyman spoke Thursday of three solutions being discussed. She said officials have recommended either providing child care services until age 6 instead of age 12, increasing user co-pays or removing funding from centers with unconventional swept the Big Ten Lacrosse weekly accolades, earning her second Big Ten Freshman of the Week and first Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week honor.

The freshman – who, as a reminder, has been playing field lacrosse for less than a year – leads NU with 17 goals in four games, tied for third-most goals in the NCAA. She sits just behind Ohio State’s Katie Chase, who has 18 goals in four games, and Syracuse’s Kayla Treanor, who has 21 goals in five games. The other two players with 17 goals so far have played five games each.

Despite Lasota pacing the team, NU is still struggling to find consistency in the circle.

Amonte Hiller shouldered her share of the responsibility after Duke won 17 draws to the Cats’ nine.

“We’ve been on the winning edge of that over many years, and we’ve got to figure it out,” Amonte Hiller said after losing to Duke. “It’s on me to continue to help mentor these kids, and it’s on them to continue to step up and challenge themselves.”

hours.

Densham emphasized the importance of keeping child care centers open because if centers close and lose their staff and permits, reopening them would be difficult. She said CNE will try to keep the child care services funded, but besides their monthly federal checks, they are on their own.

“What we want to do is to continue to ensure the highest quality and the greatest access, and we’ll do everything in our power to do that,” she said.

“Where we are right now is trying to work each day with each family … (but) it’s very much a day by day, week by week sort of situation.” kevinmathew2015@u.northwestern.edu NU then beat Marquette 12-9 on the draw.

The Cats now travel to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, before settling at home for the month of March.

North Carolina (3-1) is NU’s third ACC opponent in the last two weeks and perhaps has the most dangerous squad of the group.

NU pulled out a tough 7-5 win against North Carolina in Evanston last year, but the most memorable matchup in recent history was the team’s 2013 contest, when the Tar Heels ended the Cats’ championship run in the semifinal round en route to a national title.

North Carolina has an offense like a Swiss Army knife, with 13 goal scorers so far this season and a run-and-gun attack that led to easy wins over No. 4 Florida, No. 19 James Madison and High Point.

The Tar Heels’ lone blemish on the schedule was a 13-11 loss to Maryland on Saturday.

Pariano

From page 12 guy who went down kind of the path I went down coming out of college, and had the passion for the sport and the detail for it. Things just clicked, and the rest is history.”

One of a kind Pariano isn’t like other coaches.

“Most coaches can’t believe the stuff that comes out of my mouth,” he said. “I like to keep them guessing. I like them to not really know what I’m thinking all the time.”

For starters, you won’t find any other coach who’s more straightforward than Pariano. He isn’t looking to make a ra-ra speech; he knows his wrestlers are too smart for that. Instead, he’s always extremely candid and realistic.

When a wrestler isn’t performing, he tells him what needs to change.

When he talks with the media, he holds nothing back.

But there’s another side to that coin.

“I’m all over (my wrestlers),” he said. “I got emails that two guys should probably be doing better in classes, and I brought them in and said ‘I expect A’s and B’s in these classes.’”

He’s aware that most of his athletes won’t make a career out of wrestling, and he’s OK with that.

But at the same time, he wants them to leave knowing they can reach any height after the grind that is NU wrestling.

In turn, he demands a lot out of his wrestlers, both on the mat and in the classroom. With his wrestlers only having four or five years at the university, Pariano expects absolutely everything out of them.

“In wrestling, there’s a saying ‘Once you wrestle, everything in life is easy,’” 2011 graduate Andrew Nadhir said. “I would say once I wrestled at Northwestern, at this point, I don’t feel like there’s any challenge I can’t accomplish.”

Nadhir said Pariano was instrumental in shaping his success both in and after college.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2015 He recently started his own mobile gaming company, Purple Gator, and said there’s no way he would have had the guts to do that had Pariano not pushed him to always strive for the best.

At NU, Nadhir joined the team as a walk-on, and Pariano said he was probably 1,000th in his recruiting class. Four years later, he left as an All-American and defeated the nation’s No. 1 recruit along the way.

“I came in not a very good student and not a very good wrestler,” he said. “And I left school with over a 3.0 GPA, and as an All-American and an Academic All-American. Drew played a huge role in that in terms of preparing me and letting me know that you can’t struggle in the classroom and then come to the mat and think you’re going to perform.”

Equally important is the personal time Pariano spends with each of his wrestlers. Nadhir said Pariano prepared him both physically and mentally, spending time with him every day, oneon-one, both practicing on the mat and talking in his office.

Pariano said his philosophy is that each wrestler is unique and needs something different. But no matter the circumstances, Pariano is there for them.

Similar to Nadhir, former All-American Jason Welch harped on Pariano’s passion.

“He gives a s—, you know,” Welch said. “Like he cares so much. He cares to the point where, to see me in pain or not achieve a goal, or to lose a match that I really wanted, is probably more painful for him than it ever was for me.”

In his freshman year, Welch had one goal: become an All-American. When he fell short, he was distraught. But Pariano sat Welch down in his office and promised him he would never feel that way again.

He kept that promise. Welch was an AllAmerican each succeeding year.

Still, Pariano’s intensity has its drawbacks. He said he’s not very pleasant when the team loses and that he sometimes can care too much.

“I don’t eat for like three days straight at NCAAs,” he said. “My stomach is in such big

knots. I want to do the worrying for the guys, and I want them not to worry. We put down so much coffee at the NCAAs it’s ridiculous. We keep Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts in business in NCAAville.”

All the agony and heartbreak is worth it, though, for the reward of coaching is incomprehensible.

“Watching the guy walk off the mat as an NCAA champ,” Pariano said, “I can’t even describe it. It’s the best feeling in the world.”

A master recruiter Pariano’s biggest strength as a coach comes from his duality. He exudes strength not only in development, but also in recruiting.

“There might be some other coaches out there that on a resume might have won a few more tournaments than Drew has,” Cysewski said, “but one thing Drew has, he knows how to recruit. He knows how to get things done that way, and he will not be out-worked, that’s for sure.”

Under Cysewski, Pariano took up a lot of the recruiting reins. Today, it still remains his top priority.

Pariano said he thinks Northwestern helps sell itself in a lot of ways — after all, it’s the strongest academic school in the Big Ten, it’s just outside of Chicago, has access to internships — but at the same time, it has its drawbacks. There’s a much more rigorous academic experience, an inferior wrestling room and a significantly higher tuition (which is still more than $30,000 if Pariano offers a 50 percent scholarship).

His strategy for recruiting, consequently, is the same as his coaching strategy — honesty. He tells prospective students school won’t be a cakewalk, but that they’ll come out much stronger on the other end for job opportunities.

Then, of course, his track record speaks for itself. He develops multiple All-Americans every year — including one who started as a walk on — and has produced three NCAA Champions.

“You’re at the beck and call of a 16- or 17-yearold that’s reaching out to you,” he said. “I could

be out to dinner, but if a 16- or 17-year-old calls me, you better bet that my wife knows that I’m out of there.”

Even so, Pariano cares that his wrestlers are making the best decisions for themselves. He’s not looking to exploit an overly eager recruit.

“I was here for an unofficial visit and I was ready to commit verbally,” Welch said. “Drew told me not to. He said he wanted me to take more time, really think about it and talk to my parents. That was something I really respect looking back, to gain my trust. Some other coaches would maybe jump on that, whereas he told me to sit on it for a while, take my time and get back to him.”

Looking back and looking forward Pariano remembers being a 10-year-old in a hotel lobby in Denver where he saw businessmen standing around talking.

He turned to his parents and said, “I never want to do that.”

They were confused.

He clarified, “Be fake.”

“I can’t tell you exactly what I wanted to do,” he said, “but I can tell you I never wanted to be in a cubicle. I never wanted to be that guy that was like ‘Hi Roger, how was the evening? That was amazing at Applebee’s.’ That’s boring to me.”

Pariano’s favorite part of his job is how unpredictable it is. Even when he thinks his day is scripted, something unexpected will happen.

Yet he knows it won’t last forever. Just like Cysewski, Pariano figures he’ll move on after 15 or 20 years. By that point, he’ll want somebody younger who’s more in tune with the athletes and more physically able to keep up with them.

“I think there’s a shelf life to everything,” he said. “I don’t like coaches that overstay their welcome.”

But in the remaining time he has, he plans to turn NU into the best program possible.

“You don’t get to go up on the stage and claim your ninth place trophy,” he said. “There isn’t one.

We want to be the best.” alexlederman2017@u.northwestern.edu

Despite ranking drop, Cats have seen growth

By MIKE MARUT

daily senior staffer @mikeonthemic93

After an unexpected break in the action, the Wildcats didn’t skip a beat.

For the second time this season, No. 33 Northwestern will take on a top-10 opponent.

The Cats host No. 6 Baylor on Friday, followed by another home match against No. 35 Texas on Sunday.

After coming off essentially a free week of practice because last weekend’s match against Vanderbilt was postponed, the Wildcats (3-2, 1-0) are again champing at the bit to play an opponent like Baylor’s Bears (10-2).

The home squad has found its groove, but the Cats will take on a Baylor team that started the season on a 10-game winning streak.

Two losses have come since, with the Bears most recently falling to the Vanderbilt Commodores.

As for NU missing out on Vanderbilt on Saturday, the team sees it as a moot point. “To be honest, I don’t think (not playing Vanderbilt) helped or hurt us,� freshman Alex Chatt said. “We went to that match hungry, and we weren’t able to play it. We have to take it one day at a time. We’re ready to play a match because we feel like we haven’t been playing any matches lately.�

Indeed, NU went two weeks without a match leading up to the Big Ten opener and once again experienced an off week with the postponement at Vanderbilt. Because of the missed competition, the Cats dropped from 21st to 33rd in the rankings.

The 12-spot drop has proved to be a motivational tool for NU, especially after starting the conference season 1-0 and then beating Purdue 4-3 in a nonconference match. The drop in rankings can be explained by the newly implemented computerized ranking system

rather than voting. “The switch from ballot voting to a computerized ranking always causes some shake-up,� said Tom Loughrey, the rankings manager for the Intercollegiate Tennis Association. “The computer tends to favor teams with highly ranked wins and few or no losses early in the season. Northwestern only has three wins, so that’s costly and although both of its losses are to quality competition, it’s just points added to the denominator of their equation.�

The Cats have faced great adversity this season, and the ranking only adds another challenge. NU began the season ranked in the top 20.

The Cats haven’t been out of the top 25 since the 2007-2008 season (the Intercollegiate Tennis Association website only provides weekly rankings that far back) and have not finished a season outside the top 25 since the 19981999 campaign, the final one before coach Claire Pollard.

The last time the Cats took on a top-10 team, NU fell to pieces under the strength of Duke.

At the time, the Cats ranked 22nd and the Blue Devils were fourth. Since that time, however, NU has found its identity and improved dramatically.

The Cats are hoping that bodes well as they try to climb back up the ranks. “We have grown tremendously, competitively,� Pollard said. “(Coach Rob Gurden) made a suggestion the Tuesday after the Duke match, and we implemented it in practice.

From that moment, we’ve kept with the same theme of teaching the girls to get to the edge of competing so hard — silly little things like calling the score out loud, calling the ball out when it’s out ‌ counting out loud to reiterate the fact that there is something on the line all the time.� michaelmarut2016@u.northwestern.edu

No matter what, Drew Pariano tells it like it is

By ALEX LEDERMAN

daily senior staffer

Welcome to The Sideline, a series of profiles of Northwestern’s coaches where The Daily’s sports staff provides detailed looks into the lives and personalities of all 19 varsity coaches.

This installment covers wrestling coach Drew Pariano.

Drew Pariano is blunt.

Really blunt. “I’d be extremely dangerous at pretty much any other Big Ten school,� he said. “I’m good at recruiting.�

After all, Pariano is working with a smaller roster, fewer resources and higher academic standards than any other team in the conference.

But that hasn’t stopped him from building one of the nation’s top programs. In his 10 years at Northwestern — five as head coach — Pariano has taken three wrestlers to NCAA Championships and 11 to All-American bids. He has led the Wildcats to perennial national contender status.

And how has he found such success so early in his career?

By eating, sleeping and breathing wrestling.

When Pariano’s not coaching wrestling, he’s thinking about wrestling. When he’s not winning, he’s thinking about winning. “My wife could be sitting there and she’ll be watching one of those stupid vampire shows and I’ll be staring at the screen,� he said, “but my mind is on the team. I see Mike (McMullan) winning a national

title or Pierce (Harger) winning a national title.�

Yes, the only thing worse for Pariano than “stupid vampire shows� is losing. He says he likes winning more than life itself.

In turn, the success he has had is not enough. It will never be enough.

Sure, the Cats have cracked the top 15 fairly regularly over his tenure and the top 10 a couple of times, but Pariano’s goal is to turn NU into a permanent top four team.

Because at the end of the day, the only thing that defines Pariano more than being a wrestling coach is being a Cat. A career Cat Pariano, 38, hasn’t only been a successful coach at NU. As an undergraduate, he was also one of the team’s top wrestlers.

Over his career, Pariano was a three-time NCAA qualifier, fouryear starter and Academic AllAmerican.

Even so, Pariano said that as an undergrad, he always felt he’d be a better coach than he was a wrestler.

He thought he could see technical aspects his teammates could not and could impart his knowledge on other wrestlers.

After graduating with a degree in learning and organizational change in 2000, Pariano went to graduate school at John Carroll University, where he became the wrestling team’s assistant coach. But because the head coach also led the football team, Pariano more or less ran the wrestling program himself at just 23 years old.

“I was so young that I could pretty much beat anybody in that practice room,� he said. “So there was a level of respect there.�

Pariano next moved on to the head coaching job at Cornell College, skipping his graduation to interview for the job.

He coached the team only two years, but his impact was monumental. “When I got there, I really feel like it was the worst wrestling program in the country,� Pariano said. “I had to rebuild that program from scratch, and now they’ve had like 30-something All-Americans since I left.�

In that rebuilding process, Pariano used one of the best resources at his disposal: Tim Cysewski, the 20-year head coach at NU. He called his former coach regularly, using him as a sounding board for how to build a program.

When the assistant job opened up in 2005, Pariano suggested potential candidates for the spot to Cysewski.

He did not initially display interest in the position himself, but eventually, they both realized he might actually be the right fit.

And just like that, Pariano returned home. “I was gone five years,� he said, “and I felt like in some ways nothing changed. But in other ways, everything changed.�

Cysewski’s coaching style and personality remained exactly the same, but the resources and wrestling room significantly improved.

Pariano’s mentor, though, was close to retirement after 20 years of coaching. Luckily, Cysewski

found the perfect fit to take over the team. “Ninety-nine point nine percent of the guys who come to Northwestern

for any sport don’t get into coaching,â€? Cysewski said. “But here was a Âť See PARIANO, page 10

Cats demolish Rutgers at home in statement game

OPTIONS ON OFFENSE Lauren Douglas skies for the jumper. The junior forward needed just 19 minutes to produce 13 points, part of a diverse scoring effort from the Wildcats in an 80-60 win.

80.&/ 4 5&//*4

If there was any doubt about the Wildcats being one of the top 25 teams in the country, it dissipated Thursday night.

No. 25 Northwestern (22-6, 12-5 Big Ten) made a statement at Welsh-Ryan Arena, pushing its winning streak to eight in an 80-60 victory over No. 20 Rutgers (20-8, 11-6). “It just felt like we found another gear and just kept making plays,� coach Joe McKeown said.

In the opening 20 minutes, the Cats played with the same poise and control they exhibited throughout the month. NU never trailed during the first half, and its lead was as large as 10 points thanks to a 10-2 run that took place late in the half.

One of the catalysts for the great start was junior guard Maggie Lyon. The Cats’ sharp shooter played to her strengths and went 3-of-6 from beyond the arc in the opening half.

She was the game’s leading scorer at the break with 13 points. “We did a good job getting her the ball in good spots, and she was ready to shoot,�

McKeown said.

Lyon was also the top assister in the half as she and junior forward Lauren Douglas

each had three.

In the second half, NU came out on fire. The defense continued to cause fits for Rutgers and the offense could do no wrong. The Cats used a 14-3 run at the start of the half to widen the gap and take a 46-27 lead. “Our key focus was to not let them come back,� sophomore guard Ashley Deary said. “And when we had them down, to keep them down.�

The Scarlet Knights started to get their offense going after NU’s initial outburst at the start of the half, but it was too late. The Cats were on a roll on offense and with just under 12 minutes left Lyon knocked down a pair of free throws to give them a 21-point lead.

The Cats ended up in the double bonus with 10 and a half minutes left in the game, and despite being just 10th in the conference in free throw percentage, they made Rutgers pay. After neither team attempted a foul shot in the first half, both squads were given a chance to earn some easy points in the second. While the Scarlet Knights shot just 6-of-13 from the line, the

Cats connected on 12-of-16 free throws.

Easy points would be the key to NU’s dominance in the final half as they outscored Rutgers in the paint, 36-20. The lead would grow as large as 23 thanks to Douglas and Deary, who combined for 26 of the team’s 48 second-half points. “Lanes just kind of opened up for me and everyone else,� Deary said. “And that’s how we executed and scored.�

Five Cats finished in double figures, with Deary being the leading scorer at 19. Lyon, Douglas and senior center Alex Cohen had 17, 13 and 10 respectively.

Sophomore forward Nia Coffey picked up her seventh double-double in eight games as she poured in 15 points to go along with 10 rebounds. “I think that’s what’s hard about us to guard as a team is that on any given night anybody can have 15 points,� Douglas said. “So you can’t really just stop one person, you have to stop all of us.�
