Police: NU cameras net few concerns If evicted,
art center may not survive
By Edward Cox
daily senior staffer @EdwardCox16
As the city encounters resistance from residents worried about plans to line the streets leading to Evanston Township High School with cameras, University Police say surveillance has become an integral enforcement tool that doesn’t raise too many privacy concerns. The 800 cameras around NU’s campuses have helped deter crime, identify suspects and strengthen the department’s enforcement tools, police said. The University will add more cameras upon completion of construction projects including the Music and Communication building and the North Campus Parking Structure. The cameras will be especially prevalent in the parking structures, with placement in elevator lobbies and throughout the parking levels. UP’s surveillance policy published in 2006 limits where cameras can be placed in on-campus housing facilities. In residence halls, cameras are located at entrance areas,UP deputy chief Dan McAleer said. In academic buildings, cameras are usually placed at the entrance of the buildings and sometimes in auditoriums, said Merrill Silverman, director of parking and university security systems. Cameras positioned at Ryan Field have high

as the legal, social and political paradigm and specifically talking about the history of human rights in the U.S. and what happened in the 1940s and 50s and why we dismissed human rights for civil rights,” she said. “In the talk, I am going to argue that we should go back to human rights, and as an illustration, I’m going to use the Ashanti principle of Sankofa, which just means to go back and get it.” Jackson said she applied to speak because of her admiration for Northwestern and TED. “I’m a really proud alumna and I’ve always had this dream of participating in TED in some capacity,” she said. “I am an aspiring academic of human rights law, and the opportunity to share a central part of my research agenda with people from my undergraduate community was an opportunity I just couldn’t pass up.” She added that her talk will be dedicated to her favorite professor, the late Richard Iton. An African American studies professor, Iton died in April after battling leukemia for more than a decade. “He completely inspired me and helped me apply to law school,” she said. “He is one of my intellectual heroes.” Weinberg freshman Jackson Walker will also be speaking at the conference. His talk is titled, “Finding Your Long Lost Twin.”
Evanston City Council’s upcoming vote on terminating the lease of the Evanston Art Center’s current tenant of the Harley Clarke mansion, could put the organization completely out of business, a director said. The Human Services Committee approved a motion Monday night to terminate the art center’s lease on the mansion, which would require vacating the building within the next 240 days. City Council will vote on the motion at its next meeting Monday, and the decision will conclude months of heated and controversial debate surrounding the fate of the Harley Clarke mansion, 2603 Sheridan Road, and its tenant. “A vote for 240 days is basically a vote to close us down. That’s really what it comes down to,” said Keith Brown, Evanston Art Center’s director of education. At the meeting, the committee rejected the art center’s request for another two years in the building, which Brown said would be the minimum amount of time necessary to find a new location, raise money and move. He said the organization has spent the last two years talking to architects, calculating the square footage their new location would need and searching the commercial real estate market for possible spaces. Still, they have yet to find a viable option for a new location. “One of the things that’s frustrating is people don’t realize how much time it takes and how big of an art center we actually are,” Brown said. “If they vote 240 days, they’re doing major harm to the visual arts community in Evanston and our center. It’s questionable whether we’ll be able to bounce back from that.” He claimed the Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago took 10 years to acquire, renovate and move into their current property. City manager Wally Bobkiewicz said the city has been helping the nonprofit find alternative sites for the last two years and is willing to continue offering assistance if needed. Citing the building’s continued deterioration, he said the city wants to find “long-term liability” for the building now that the art center has indicated it does not wish to remain in the building permanently. “We’ve been talking for the last two and a half years about next steps and making sure that the building is improved,” Bobkiewicz said. “In the meantime, the building is continuing to face the elements, and we want to make sure that as soon as possible we have a solution for the building to move forward.” Bobkiewicz has been working with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, which last month expressed interest in using the mansion as office space for the federally-funded Coastal

Stradivarius violin 12 selected to speak at found in Milwaukee TEDxNorthwesternU By Ally Mutnick
By Tyler pager
A nearly 300-year-old Stradivarius violin stolen from Henry and Leigh Bienen School of Music lecturer Frank Almond has been found in good condition, Milwaukee Police announced Thursday. The violin’s discovery comes just a day after police announced the arrest of three people in connection with the theft. The instrument was found Wednesday in a suitcase in the attic of a residence on the east side of Milwaukee, Police Chief Ed Flynn said at a news conference. The violin, known as the Lipinski Stradivarius, was taken from Almond on Jan. 27 as he was leaving a concert he played at Wisconsin Lutheran College. While walking to his car, Almond was shocked with a taser and fell to the ground. An anonymous owner lent the violin to Almond, who is the concertmaster of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. At the news conference, investigators said the violin, which was made in 1715, was recovered safely. Police do not yet know the motive but they believe the three people arrested were acting alone. “We have not as yet, working with our federal partners, developed any information that indicates there was some scheme involving nefarious third parties of shadowy art crime organizations,” Flynn said.
The lineup for TEDxNorthwesternU 2014 has been finalized. Though the event organizers initially planned to have nine speakers, the quantity and quality of the applications led them to select 12. Co-director Nikita Ramanujam, a SESP junior, said the selection committee received 99 applications. “When we looked at the grand total, I was really astonished by how large that number was,” she said. “It was very difficult to narrow [it] down to nine, which is why we ended up picking 12 instead. We wouldn’t be doing justice to the Northwestern community by limiting only nine ideas.” TEDx events are independently organized and dedicated to “Ideas Worth Spreading,” the mission of nonprofit TED. TEDxNorthwesternU, will take place on April 12 in the McCormick Tribune Center Forum and have three sessions with four talks. The event will feature four students, four alumni and four faculty under the theme “Crossing Paths.” Marissa Jackson (Weinberg ‘06) is one of four alumni selected to speak. Jackson, a law clerk for the U.S. Court of Appeals, titled her presentation “Human Rights, Sankofa and the Power of Paradigms.” “I’m talking about human rights

ORDEAL OVER A nearly 300year-old Stradivarius violin stolen from Bienen lecturer Frank Almond was found. Three people have been arrested in connection with the theft.
Police worked with the FBI Art Crime Team and Taser International to help located the individual who purchased the stun gun used to attack Almond. This, along with an anonymous tip, helped police identify the suspects. One of the suspects has a previous history of art theft. Salah Jones, who is currently in police custody, was convicted of stealing a $25,000 statue from a Milwaukee hotel in 1995. Almond has taught at NU since 2010. He will leave later this year to join the faculty of Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University, according to his website.

Task force talks future of art center Group moves forward with search for possible downtown locations By Paige Leskin
the daily northwestern @paigeleskin
The Downtown Performing Arts Task Force started its search and evaluation Thursday night of possible locations for an arts center. The group, which will explore the feasibility of a downtown arts center, met for the first time Thursday night since it was created in January. It consists of nine Evanston residents who share “a passion for the arts,” Evanston cultural arts coordinator Jennifer Lasik said. They include representatives from the Evanston Arts Council, local performing arts groups and downtown businesses. City manager Wally Bobkiewicz met with the committee to relay to them what Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl and the city wanted from the task
force. “A downtown arts venue makes sense,” Bobkiewicz said. “The question is ‘what?’ There’s no predetermined outcome. It’s just clear we have to do something.” In July 2013, Ald. Mark Tendam (6th) suggested looking for a downtown space when the Piven Theatre Workshop expressed the desire to double its space in the Noyes Cultural Arts Center, its current location. Other tenants, who consist of visual and performing arts groups, were concerned about being pushed out of the center. Tendam said a downtown location would resolve the issue. The task force reviewed the two most recent studies of the Evanston arts scene — one done by the National Endowment for the Arts and the other by EvanstARTs. Both studies concluded there was a need for a downtown venue to accommodate the art groups already in Evanston. The NEA study presented 24 sites in downtown Evanston as viable properties for the committee to look at. Paul Zalmezak, the city’s economic development coordinator, said the task force’s issue didn’t lie in finding space downtown
Police Blotter Men attempt to rob teen near Chicago
Police arrest man in connection with unlawful gun possession
Two young men attempted to rob a 19-yearold at gunpoint near the Chicago border Monday morning. The Evanston resident was walking home in the 200 block of Chicago Avenue from the Howard Street Chicago Transit Authority station when two men pushed him, Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said. One of the men displayed a handgun while the other searched the 19-year-old for possessions. However, nothing was taken. Police said the Evanston resident was struck with the handgun several times and sustained cuts to his face.
A routine traffic stop in west Evanston on Wednesday night ended with police finding two men with outstanding arrest warrants and an unlicensed shotgun in their car. At about 6 p.m. on the 1200 block of Hartrey Avenue, an EPD unit pulled over a vehicle for a traffic violation, Parrott said. While placing the subjects into custody for outstanding arrest warrants, the police found a shotgun in the car’s passenger compartment. — Julian Gerez
for an arts building. Instead, he said, the committee had to focus on the practicality of the site from an economical standpoint. Bobkiewicz advised the committee that Northwestern “isn’t looking to be a major player” in a downtown arts site. With the construction of the new Music and Communication Building and the existing oncampus performing arts buildings, Bobkiewicz said NU didn’t need additional space and didn’t want to invest in any major developments. Bobkiewicz told the task force members not to limit their search for a venue and to review a wide breadth of sites. “I encourage you to think as broadly as you’d like,” he said. “If we have something that’s real, we’ll find people who want to talk with us.” Lasik said the task force aimed to present a plan to City Council in less than six months. In moving forward, the committee will continue to research the various sites as well as explore what cities similar to Evanston have done with the performing and visual arts. paigeleskin2017@u.northwestern.edu

‘Next to Normal’ furthers mental health discussion Jewish Theatre Ensemble musical to feature discussion groups before Friday show By Rebecca Savransky
the daily northwestern @beccasavransky
The Jewish Theatre Ensemble’s current production of “Next to Normal” is partnering with Sustained Dialogue to promote campus conversation on mental health and illnesses. The show, which opened Thursday, documents a family’s struggle after the death of their first son and brings up issues including drug addiction, mental disorders and suicide. Coproducer Lucy Ahlborn said the show would give the cast and audience an opportunity to address important, relevant issues. “The show has themes that talk about mental illness but it’s really a show about a family that loves each other and a community that cares about each other,” the Communication junior said. “I think that’s more of the theme we’re interested in seeing on campus.” Ahlborn said the partnership between the Jewish Theatre Ensemble and Sustained Dialogue was created after members of the production team reached out in an effort to further mental health discussions. The producers said they want to use the show’s plot as a platform to talk about these issues in an open forum. The discussion, which will take place before the 6:30 p.m. show Friday, will draw on a set of real-life scenarios and ask students how they would respond to them in order to help prepare them if these situations occurred. Ahlborn said the group tried to make these scenarios as broad as possible in order to ensure they could apply to every student. Moderators involved in Sustained Dialogue will lead the talks, and attendees will

split into smaller discussion groups in order to create a more comfortable environment. “We were interested in trying to create a conversation on mental health,” Ahlborn said. “We’re less interested in diagnosing what happens in the play or bringing in someone from the psych department to lecture on what it means to be bipolar or depressed and we were more interested in figuring what are ways that we as students can start supporting each other and start having these conversations.” Co-producer Jacob Trauberman said once the play was chosen, they immediately thought this would be a great opportunity to facilitate this discussion at NU and were proactive in its planning. The dialogues will also address recent tragedies that have occurred on campus and attempt to foster a sense of community that is less prejudiced toward mental health and

When deciding what show to produce, director Brendan Flynn said he suggested “Next to Normal” because he wanted a musical “actors could sink their teeth into,” and this show was widely known within the community.

The cast will perform four more times this weekend, with two shows on both Friday and Saturday.

DAILY COLUMNIST @SOSHALONI
Daily Columnist
As students prepare their resumes and search for internships, I cannot help but reflect on the number of my friends that already seem to have their lives figured out. Everywhere I go I find students that are “pre-something”: Pre-meds struggle through chemistry, pre-law students already know the U.S. News and World Report law school rankings from memory and economics majors plan out how to make their future employers pay for their MBAs. And, of course, everyone wants a job after graduation. The pressure to have a plan for the future, even in the beginning of college, is very real and very intense, especially at Northwestern. But do we Northwestern students, uncertain about our futures, put ourselves at a disadvantage? Getting an early start on our science classes will keep us from taking multiple hard classes at once if we decide we want to pursue medicine as juniors. Knowing we want to be journalists will help us get those dreaded Medill intro classes out of the way quickly. Though it is important to focus on the future, the Northwestern community should make a cultural shift to avoid making students feel pressured to pick a path very early in their college career. Students that are expected to make choices about their majors and career plans early rather than taking time to explore their options can undermine themselves in the long run. By taking a few different types of courses as a freshman, a student can determine what he or she wants out of college early enough. The Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences distribution requirements aim to do just this: expose students to a variety of fields and hope they find their passion along the way. Too many students see distros as a way to boost their GPA to help impress an employer or grad-school rather than a chance for exploration. Finally, although it is important to prepare for life after college, students should not necessarily feel pressure to have their grad-school resume ready by the end of college. For example, pre-health students are advised to consider taking a year off prior to attending medical school. This gives them more time during their undergraduate years to complete their premedical coursework and a year after college to gain research or clinical experience. The saying that “life is a marathon, not a sprint” holds true in preparation for grad school and, to an extent, for a career. It makes sense to want the time and money investment of college to pay off, but this is sometimes best accomplished by not rushing. Taking time to explore one’s options ensures a student that be happy with the choice he or she ultimately makes. Preparing for grad school is an extensive process, but not one that necessarily needs to be completed entirely in four short years. Matt Gates is a Weinberg freshman.

Olympic buzz should be about athletes leanna smith
Daily columnist
The Olympics have been hijacked. It is clear that the same hype that precedes the Summer Olympics does not accompany the Winter Olympics – high-level curling just does not seem to draw the same crowds as Michael Phelps’ eight gold medals. This is not to make light of curling, nor the terrorist threats or the heavyhanded anti-gay sentiments that seem to be synonymous with holding the competition in Sochi, but the focus leading up to the 2014 Winter Olympics has not been on the athletes, and wrongly so. It is a shame that a forum meant for showcasing the most elite athletic talent is being taken over by other issues of varying severity. Russian president Vladimir Putin’s anti-gay remarks and measures are horrifying. Even if he retracted them, the issue is already a focal point of the Olympics. It would be impossible to ignore the homophobia that Putin has propagated. His bigotry has put a damper on the upcoming Games — and understandably so. On the other hand, on the eve of the Olympic opening ceremonies, the hashtag “#SochiProblems” is trending on Twitter. This hashtag, though funny, calls attention to the subpar accommodations, the legions of stray dogs and Sochi’s seeming unpreparedness to host the Olympics. This event is meant to pay tribute to people who have dedicated their lives to the elevation of winter sports and pushing the bounds of athleticism, but instead we seem more preoccupied with the absence of toilet partitions.
There is a shortage of support for American athletes who are going to represent our nation in the most prestigious competition in the world. The U.S. Olympic Committee regularly sends out blurbs with spotlights on particular athletes that highlight their sports achievements, but these are not receiving nearly as much attention as the Sochi housing drama or the color of local tap water. Journalists on assignment in Sochi are reporting about their hotel conditions as the first few events kick off. To be fair, amidst allegations of “the most expensive Olympics ever” it is editorially valid that media spotlight how world-class athletes are being bunked in rustic quarters. But does this really stoke excitement of the events to come? A Facebook user posted a link to an article listing problems that Sochi is facing leading up to the Olympics with the comment, “I am glad I am not an Olympian at this moment.” More than two years ago, social media was used as a platform to glorify the Olympics at the Summer Games in London. Even Ryan Lochte’s famous #Jeah and the viral “McKayla Maroney is not impressed” meme popularized and celebrated the athletes and their accomplishments. Let’s worry about snowboarder Shaun White’s performance on the halfpipe and be less concerned about whether his toilet flushes. Leanna Smith is a Weinberg sophomore.

Valentine’s Day is next week, and for many it’s a great day to spend with your significant other. It’s also a great day to lament your lack of a Valentine if you aren’t in a relationship. With our hookup culture and the fear of labels from both genders, it’s practically a miracle when you meet someone in college with whom you cultivate a successful relationship. All but two of the couples our age I know met before college. In my mother’s generation, if you married someone, you tended to stay married for the rest of your life, for better or for worse. Relationships these days are extremely fluid, even after marriage. But relationships between family members will always remain. If you get divorced, or go through a breakup — which, let’s face it, is bound to happen at some point along your dating career — it’s important for you to realize that you have other, more important relationships in your life. Your romantic partner will never share all the experiences you did with the people you grew up with. For instance, there is always a strong bond between siblings who grow up together. I can truthfully say that I value my relationship with my sister more than I will value any other relationship I’m going to have. It is frustrating that so much of our society focuses on romantic love, breakups and ditching your friends or family to spend time with the person you’re supposed to treasure above anyone else, because eventually the point of dating is to find someone you want to spend the rest of your life with. Well, what if I don’t want to spend the rest of my life with someone? I’m young, but I know that I will not want to sacrifice my personal success for someone else’s. Last quarter, I attended a Dining with Dynamos event hosted by the Women’s Center and met a female high-level executive of Walgreens. We talked about what it means to be in a higher position in a company, and how most “successful” males have a wife and kids yet very few high-level women are married. I respect this lady a great deal. She has been resourceful and determined and achieved a lot throughout her career. But she isn’t married. She said she did not regret her choice of work over creating a family; it’s a choice that most, if not all, highachieving women have to make at some point in their career. Most guys don’t think about how they want to raise a family when picking a job. Most guys don’t mold their career aspirations to fit time in for paternity leave, or move according to where their girlfriend or wife’s job takes them. On the other hand, women are bombarded from a young age with images of finding a Prince Charming to sweep them off their feet and doing whatever it takes to make sure we achieve the dream of making a new family, even at the expense of other aspirations. I’m not trying to antagonize men. The issue remains, though, that no one prepares young girls for the realization that they have it much harder than most guys do: they can have a successful career only if they are willing to sacrifice their family life, or if they are willing to work twice as hard as men to maintain both a career and a family. There is nothing that prepares a girl for this realization. We need to stop focusing so much on who we’re dating or who we’re interested in and instead focus on what we have and what we can make of ourselves. Meera Patel is a McCormick junior.

Young Adult author discusses Evanston-based books By Mia hariz
the daily northwestern @miahariz
Young adult author Tamara Ireland Stone discussed and read excerpts from her Evanston-based novels Thursday night. Stone spoke to a group of teens in The Loft, a center for students in sixth to 12th grade, in the Evanston Public Library, 1703 Orrington Ave. Her two debut novels, “Time Between Us� and “Time After Time,� are companion stories about the relationship between Anna, who lives in Chicago in 1995, and Bennett, a man who lives in San Francisco in 2012 but has the ability to travel through space and time. The former novel is told from Anna’s perspective and the latter is told from Bennett’s. “It’s really a story about two people who were never supposed to meet, but do and fall in love, even though they know that’s a really, really bad idea,� Stone said. “And they try to stay together even though time is constantly trying to knock him back where he belongs. It’s kind of like your ultimate long-distance relationship book.� Stone, who was born in California’s Bay Area but lived in Evanston in her early adulthood, says the different places she’s lived throughout her life have influenced her storytelling. Stone said “Time Between Us� takes place in Evanston in 1995 because she lived there from 1995-1997. “‘We writers go into that, ‘write what you know,’
but I didn’t know anything but California,� she said. “But then I said to myself, actually, that’s not true. I know Evanston ... so I thought that would be kind of a fun time travel experience of my own to go back to that place in my head and remember all those things about living in that town.� Though she was initially on track to become a journalist, Stone ended up working in a Silicon Valley PR firm. Several years later, Stone decided to start a marketing communications firm of her own. “I just felt like there was this thing I wasn’t doing that I was supposed to be doing, and that was writing fiction,� Stone said. “But I had two small kids and a full-time job, and I kept telling myself that I didn’t have time to write a book. And then I decided to stop telling myself that ... but I didn’t know what to write about. I didn’t have a story quite yet.� Then, one day, after an unexpected conversation with her husband, Stone said she finally found her story. “One night my husband and I were hanging out in the kitchen, and he said, out of nowhere, ‘If you could have any super power, which one would you pick?’ And I was like, ‘Time travel, what else?’ I went to bed that night, and I just couldn’t get this idea out of my head.

NU to offer study abroad program in Doha, Qatar By Olivia Exstrum
the daily northwestern @oliviaexstrum
Beginning in the fall, Northwestern will offer a semester-long study abroad program for journalism and communication students at its satellite campus in Doha, Qatar. Everette Dennis, dean of Northwestern University in Qatar, spoke at an information session Wednesday to discuss the Doha Seminar program open to students in the Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications and the School of Communication. “The program is beneficial because it’s in a country that’s growing and evolving in many ways and really recreating itself,” said Dennis, who has been the dean of NU-Q since 2011. “If you want to see a country evolve and develop, (Qatar) is the place to do it.”
The Doha Seminar is open to NU sophomores and juniors in Medill and the School of Communication. In addition to courses in communication, journalism and the liberal arts, selected students will participate in an honors-style seminar on culture and developments in the region, as well as go on a funded, week-long visit to another country in the region at the end of the term. NU-Q, which opened in 2008, is NU’s first international campus. It boasts students from Qatar and more than 30 other countries. Dennis said Qatar also has one of the fastest-growing economies in the world and has a rapidly growing media sector as well, with multiple Al Jazeera networks and daily newspapers. “We are able to practice quality journalism there,” he said. However, Dennis acknowledged a lack of transparency sometimes can make it difficult for students to report. He said students have to work hard to uncover information and get
behind the scenes. “You have to learn about the culture, how to approach people and how you interview people,” Dennis said. Prof. Craig LaMay, Medill interim associate dean, said the The way you he taught at realize what you classes NU-Q were often used believe in is by as a vehicle to discuss exploring what issues regarding race and gender. other people Medill Prof. MeiLing Hopgood said believe in. traveling and learnMorgan Kinney, ing abroad can be a Medill freshman great opportunity for students to open their minds to the way their own countries work. “I think studying abroad can be absolutely life-changing and career-changing,” Hopgood said. “You can come back and reflect on how
“
you want to be and what your society wants to be.” One of the students in attendance at the info session, Medill freshman Morgan Kinney, applied for the upcoming Spring Break trip to NU-Q and is also interested in other opportunities in Qatar. “I think there’s a lot to be learned from studying journalism in such a foreign environment,” he said. “The way you realize what you believe in is by exploring what other people believe in.” Five spaces are available for the fall program. All classes will be taught in English, and fluency in Arabic is not needed in order to apply. “It’s a chance to see something that will be radically different five or 10 years from now,” Dennis said. “We could be present for extraordinary change.” oliviaexstrum2017@u.northwestern.edu
Medill Justice Project casts doubt on ‘05 conviction By rosalie chan
the daily northwestern @rosaliech1
Evidence uncovered by students in the Medill Justice Project regarding an imprisoned daycare worker charged with murder influenced a judge’s recent ruling that “no reasonable jury” should have found her guilty. The case involved daycare worker Jennifer Del Prete, who was charged in 2005 with violently shaking and killing an infant, resulting in a 20-year prison sentence. The infant’s death was originally attributed to shaken baby syndrome. “In these kinds of crimes, there are usually no adult witnesses,” said Medill Prof. Alec Klein, the director of the Medill Justice Project. “There may be no direct evidence that points to the accused.” While looking through police records, students came across a letter written by detective Kenneth Kroll of the Romeoville, Ill., police department to a
medical expert indicating concerns that the forensic pathologist who conducted the autopsy was unsure if the infant’s cause of death was shaken baby syndrome. The letter was never introduced during Del Prete’s trial. In 2010, Del Prete’s attorneys filed a federal habeas corpus petition, claiming her imprisonment violated her constitutional rights because ineffective counsel and insufficient evidence violated her right to a fair trial. Judge Matthew Kennelly cited evidence Medill Justice Project students uncovered in his Jan. 27 ruling. An additional hearing was held in federal court Wednesday. At the hearing, the defense said it will file a Brady violation, claiming evidence favorable to the defendant was withheld, on Feb. 18 and requested Del Prete’s release from prison. “It’s an amazing thing our students have done, the fact that they uncovered revelatory evidence that could potentially impact a person’s life,” Klein said. The Medill Justice Project began investigating the Del Prete murder case in 2012 and involved
two different classes of students. “One of the challenges we had when starting a case like that is that you don’t know what you’re looking for,” Nick Castele (Medill ‘12) said. “You’re just gathering as much information as you can and connecting the dots from there.” One of Del Prete’s lawyers read the story the students published on the Medill Justice Project’s website about the case, and a motion was filed in the federal court in Chicago requesting that the new evidence be considered by the court. In 2013 the federal judge agreed to reopen a federal innocence hearing. “I was floored,” said Dan Tham (Medill ‘13), a former Daily staffer. “I had no idea that that would happen. I feel like for a lot of us who took that class, we didn’t make up our mind whether she did it or not … It also makes me terrified of the legal system. You could be in the wrong place at the wrong time and be charged for it.” The students investigated the medical and legal side of the case. Students submitted a Freedom of Information Act request for police records,
“
I was floored. I had no idea that that would happen. Dan Tham, Medill ‘13
examined documents and interviewed people involved in the case, including Del Prete, witnesses and doctors. The second class of students continued to investigate the case through interviews and research, writing a story about it in March 2013 where
they cited Kroll’s letter. “I’m anxious to see what the final decision will be,” said Medill senior Stephanie Fuerte, a former Daily staffer. “It’s exciting for me as an aspiring journalist to see that my team’s work has made an impact.” The next hearing will take place Feb. 20 in Chicago. rosaliechan2017@u.northwestern.edu

monitor more minor violations. The University’s dispatch center has the ability to access footage of crimes from the security cameras. UP, however, are not paid to view surveillance cameras, Silverman said. “There are so many cameras no one person can go in and adequately monitor cameras,� he said. Cameras are prevalent on NU’s Evanston campus during Dillo Day, Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl told The Daily in January. During the annual music event, police bring in additional cameras, McAleer said. In general, UP pair security cameras with card swipe entrances and emergency phones to increase security on campus. Although there is no specific budget for surveillance, funding is allotted for planned cameras at the new construction projects. The upcoming additions are part of an increasing University reliance on security cameras. In 2011, the University announced it was adding 65 cameras to the Chicago campus and 30 in and around the Technological Institute. The Undergraduate Budget Priorities Committee requested additional cameras at Tech, which were placed at the entrances and hallways connecting buildings, Tech Plaza and the exterior of the building.

“After (watching) videos, it was kind of just another wake-up call, seeing how many errors we’ve made,� senior Veronica Corning said. “We saw that we needed to make a presence on the court which was lacking against Vanderbilt. (That game) was a reminder we need that.� Despite faltering at doubles, Pollard felt confident in the team’s ability to bounce back. Throughout the week, they mostly worked on singles and watched more video on doubles, Corning said. “It’s more strategic,� Corning said. “Kind of seeing where you should be on the court. We’ve been doing a lot of ‘quality balls on court.’ (The most important strategy is) ball selection and placement. A couple of us have made some bad decisions during the match that is easy to fix.� Leaving the Vanderbilt loss behind them and coming into this weekend, the Cats have regained their confidence and are more than ready to take on top-16 competition. “We can definitely win, but we have to be on our A-game,� Corning said. michaelmarut2016@u.northwestern.edu

Ryan Field student section switches sides

From page 1 Management Program and a potential public coastal education center. Ald. Mark Tendam (6th) was the only committee member to oppose issuing the lease termination, saying it would take longer than 240 days for the department to formalize plans with the city and move in. “I think any reasonable organization that takes over is going to need to work with the art center to work on some compromise,� Tendam said. “There might be ways of someone starting to fix up the building while the art center is still vacating. I think we need to keep an open mind and try to realize we’re all kind of working on the same goals here.� Tendam said he plans to continue opposing the art center’s lease termination, though he expects it will likely be approved at City Council. The department will make an official proposal to the city in April or May and move into the mansion in 2015 if City Council agrees to terminate the art center’s lease, Bobkiewicz said.
Northwestern students will have a new view of Wildcat football next season. The Wildside student section, as well as the Northwestern University Marching Band, will move to the southeast corner of Ryan Field opposite its previous location, the athletic department announced Tuesday. Until now, television cameras had faced away from the students, capturing a disproportionate number of opposing fans, whose designated section will move from the east to west side of the stadium. The changes came after talks with Associated Student Government and focus groups with students, athletic department spokesman Paul Kennedy told The Daily. Kennedy said students called their seats “some of the worst in the building� and complained they were unable to see the video board from their seats and were not visible on television. Moving Wildside was the logical solution, he said. “We can’t move the video board and we
kellygonsalves@u.northwestern.edu
can’t move the TV, unfortunately, so we moved the student section and the band,� Kennedy said. The restructured seating chart could improve the television presentation of Ryan Field, which often appears overrun by visiting fans during big games due in part to the direction of cameras. In another notable change, the Cats will now choose which sideline to use each game. In the past, NU has stuck to one side for an entire season — west, in recent years — but beginning in 2014, the team will make that decision week-to-week, depending on the weather and other factors, Kennedy said. Kennedy said the athletic department is constantly discussing ways to improve what he called the “Ryan Field experience.� “We’re thoroughly evaluating everything at all times,� he said. “If we can fix something immediately, we’re going to fix something immediately.� The Cats’ football season opens at home against California Aug. 30.

said. “I felt like we were getting more rebounds and moving the ball more offensively‌ just trying to get transition points.â€? But NU’s defense picked up too late, and even in the second half allowed Michigan’s Thompson, who sits first in the Big Ten for 3-point field goal percentage, to rack up five 3-pointers and end the game with a team-leading 25 points. With freshman guard and team leader in points per game Nia Coffey clocking only 16 minutes after sitting out for the last two games with an injury, classmates Inman and Deary pulled their weight with 14 and 10 points respectively. But for the second game in a row it was bright spots from veteran leaders that kept the Cats alive at times. Senior guard Meghan McKeown sparked life into NU during the first half with two critical 3-pointers. Juniors Alex Cohen and Karly Roser also provided much-needed defensive muscle during the first half.

Cats topped in home heartbreaker By AVA WALLACE
daily senior staffer @AvaRWallace
Freshman forward Nia Coffey dropped to the court and pounded her fist. Five seconds just wasn’t enough time. Northwestern (14-9, 4-6 Big Ten) was tied with Michigan (15-8, 6-4) with nine seconds left in the game Thursday night when sophomore guard Maggie Lyon was called for a foul. Michigan’s Siera Thompson hit her free throws and had the Wolverines up 2 with five seconds left for the Wildcats to come back. Freshman guard Ashley Deary couldn’t drive through Michigan’s defenders to make her layup, and NU lost its second home game in a row, 70-68. Thursday night was the fourth time the Cats ended a close game. NU split its three previous contests with wins against Nebraska, by 4 points, and Indiana, by 6 points, and most recently a 4-point loss against Penn State. Coach Joe McKeown said games’ last minutes are important for his team, which could be poised to make it into the NCAA tournament. “The biggest thing we talked about was finishing games,â€? McKeown said. “Every game in the league is so competitive, so you have to be able to execute at the end‌ that’s going to be our focal point over the next two weeks as we, I think, make

Drew Crawford had just played his worst game of the season, scoring only 6 points on 1-8 shooting in a Jan. 15 loss to then-No. 4 Michigan State. It was the latest in a series of sub-standard outings, but everyone was raving anyway. Spartans coach Tom Izzo heaped praise on the senior forward, who returned to Evanston for a fifth season instead of transferring to a program on sturdier footing. Izzo complimented Crawford’s effort and hustle and also his role in the program’s overall development. “He could have left,� Izzo said, “but he stayed and he will help this team and this program turn.� Minutes later, Crawford’s own coach was similarly effusive. “He’s our leader,� Chris Collins said then. “He’s our guy, and even in a game like this I’ll go with him anytime.� Three weeks later, Collins’ faith has been rewarded. Over the five games since the poor performance against the Spartans, Crawford has averaged 20.6 points per game and drastically upped his

flawless 19-9 run. Nearly everything turned around for NU coming out of the locker room, when the team trailed by 7. Freshman guard Christen Inman sparked the Cats’ run with a free throw followed by a jumper, and NU was on a roll. The Cats pulled off five steals compared to just one in the first half and got their ball handling under control — NU started the game looking frazzled and played with what McKeown called hesitance
shooting percentage. The Cats won four of those games, with the senior the team’s leading scorer, or tied for leading scorer, in each. The highlight was NU’s upset of No. 13 Wisconsin last Wednesday in Madison. Crawford poured in a season-high 30 points on an impressive 10-15 shooting, playing all 40 minutes of the Cats’ 65-56 victory. For that production, as well as his efficient 17 points in a win over Minnesota, Crawford was named Big Ten Co-Player of the Week for the third time in his career Monday. The next day he was awarded a more prestigious distinction: Oscar Robertson National Player of the Week. “It’s a great honor,� Crawford said. “I’m definitely happy to win such a distinguished award like that. But at the same time, it’s something I’m thankful for, but it’s more about what we’re doing as a team.� The Cats enter Saturday’s home game against Nebraska on a bit of an offensive upswing, after months of scoring struggles. The Wisconsin and Minnesota victories were the

first games of the conference season in which NU shot more than 40 percent and the first Big Ten contests they made more than a third of their 3-pointers. Crawford easily leads the Cats with 16.3 points per game (seventh in the Big Ten) and is a close second to team leader sophomore center Alex Olah with a 48.4 percent effective field goal percentage, Everydespite taking a much body is kind higher of learning volume of how to play shots.

Demps says he and his teammates are increasingly adapting to its star forward. “Everybody is kind of learning how to play off of Drew,� Demps said Tuesday. “Knowing the spots where he likes to get the ball, knowing opportunities how you can find your shot off of his dribble drive.� NU has struggled with the ball all season, and despite the recent minisurge is ranked 314th in the country in offensive efficiency according to KenPom and 322nd according to teamrankings.com. Crawford’s poor shooting, which climaxed with the Michigan State loss, had essentially neutered the Cats’ attack. Against the Spartans, the team shot 28.3 percent and totaled only 40 points, with no individual player scoring more than 12. The senior attempts to play down his own importance, suggesting this week he’s just another guy, who has happened to get hot the last couple of games. It’s not true. The Cats will have a tough time winning — even against a lesser team like Nebraska — without Crawford scoring like a star and drawing more raves.
Northwestern (2-1) will head to the University of Virginia this weekend to take on the highest ranked teams in the country at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association National Women’s Team Indoor Championships. First up for the Wildcats is the Texas A&M Aggies (3-0). Last time the two faced off, NU toppled Texas A&M 5-2 in 2005. At the time, the Cats were ranked No. 5 in the nation and the Aggies were No. 16. This time around, the tables have turned — Texas A&M is No. 7 and NU is No. 16 in the ITA rankings. Coming into this week, NU had its work cut out for them. Falling to No. 15 Vanderbilt 5-2 forced the Cats to come out of their comfort zone of beating teams handily. “I feel like we had a lot of opportunities against Vanderbilt but we just didn’t execute,� freshman Maddie Lipp said. “This week we’re going to have a good week of practice and execute better. We’ve really been practicing ball tolerance and making sure we make our opponent play.� The first step to upsetting the Aggies is winning the doubles point, which the Cats live and die by. Failing to win the doubles matches has historically resulted in a loss, including last weekend against Vanderbilt. “We’ve watched video, watched all the matches,� coach Claire Pollard said. “We had game points in the individual games, so I think just better execution, more clarity on the game-plan, having a clearer idea of what we need to do, and we need to serve better.� The Cats’ doubles tandems are all ranked. Doubles senior Veronica Corning and sophomore Alicia Barnett claim the No. 35 spot, senior Belinda Niu and Lipp, No. 45 and senior Nida Hamilton and freshman Brooke Rischbieth, No. 54. Because of the tandems’ dominating force, Pollard does not plan on changing them up too much going into this weekend. Vanderbilt was the highest ranked team NU has faced all year until this weekend. The Cats cruised past all of their opponents besides the Commodores.
