2 GRADUATION ISSUE | THE DAILY NORTHWESTERN

MONDAY, JUNE 18, 2018

Letter from the Editor: Peter Kotecki I decided to attend Northwestern because of the Integrated Science Program, expecting my undergraduate experience to revolve around experiments in laboratories. I joined a lab conducting climate change research, sat in the basement of Tech for physics lectures and worked on organic chemistry assignments in the meantime.

But finding a community on campus took more effort than just going with the flow, and I began to look for it elsewhere. I never expected to find that community at The Daily Northwestern, as I had made it through four years of high school without ever picking up a copy of my school’s newspaper.

Walking into the newsroom during Fall Quarter of my freshman year, I had no understanding of journalism and no confidence that I could keep up with the more experienced reporters around me. I’ve made it through 12 quarters at The Daily thanks to the support of the editors around me, and I owe everything I know about journalism to the people who patiently showed me the ropes.

Over time, this publication — especially the consistency of leaving Norris at 3 a.m. — became a vital aspect of my life on campus. As the university’s paper of record, we worked to chronicle your experiences as you made headlines over the past four years. We reported on some of your biggest achievements, from the launches of award-winning startups to firstplace finishes in national dance competitions.

As you read the following pages, I hope they reflect some of the moments that were meaningful to you.

At the same time, we interviewed you during some of your most challenging moments.

created the petition, which had about 650 signatures as of 12 a.m. Friday.

Szot’s lawyers did not respond to multiple requests for comment. Friends of Szot said Thursday that he was waiting to hear a final decision from the University on whether he can return to NU. McCormick senior Brad Winters said Szot told him that University administrators said Tuesday Szot may not be allowed to return. Administrators told Szot his presence may interfere with the community’s grieving process, Winters said.

“We want to show Northwestern that we want Mike to have an education,” said Winters, who signed the petition and shared it on Facebook. “The student body is standing up.”

Friends of Szot and Boddupalli posted comments on Change.org, giving reasons why they support Szot returning to NU. But other members of the NU community posted online that Szot’s return would make them uncomfortable.

The Center for Awareness, Response and Education is putting its services for sexual assault survivors on hold while the University hires replacements for its two vacant positions.

“This is sort of an unfortunate gap in services that we’re going to have for the first two weeks of the quarter,” said Lisa Currie, director of Health Promotion and Wellness.

Currie’s department oversees CARE, which provides confidential counseling services to sexual assault survivors and hosts sexual violence prevention programs on campus.

Both of CARE’s full-time staff members left Northwestern this year. Laura Anne Haave (formerly Stuart), sexual health education and assault prevention coordinator, left in August to take a position at Carleton College, and survivor advocate Eva Ball’s position has been vacant since July after she resigned for family reasons.

Currie said the University hopes to hire Haave’s replacement by October, and may also hire a temporary

survivor advocate while searching for Ball’s replacement.

“In the meantime we have wonderful partnerships with the Women’s Center and CAPS,” Currie said. “They have helped students prior to CARE’s existence.”

CARE’s website also lists off-campus resources for sexual assault survivors.

In an annual report released July, CARE reported that it provided services to 78 students during the 2013-14 academic year, a 44 percent increase from the year before.

Weinberg senior Kayleen McMonigal called the lack of services at the beginning of this academic year “disappointing.”

“I think it’s really important, especially with incoming freshmen coming in and people who haven’t been on a college campus before,” McMonigal said. “It’s important to have those resources there in case something goes wrong.”

McMonigal led a discussion about sexual assault with new students Thursday night and said students should know where to go for sexual assault-related services.

“You’re pretty much supposed to highlight CARE, but you can’t really highlight CARE,” she said. “It’s difficult when they’re starting the year without

resources.”

Hiring staff members for CARE can be difficult because of the positions’ unique requirements, Currie said. CARE members work with sexual assault survivors, advise student groups and participate in the Campus Coalition on Sexual Violence to prevent sexual assault and discuss University sexual assault policies.

“We seek staff members who have the ability not just to work with individual students or groups, but also have the ability to work with our campus partners,” Currie said. “The ability to work with other departments, this broader work around sexual violence prevention, is part and parcel of this work.”

Currie said the gap in services is only a “pause,” and CARE will continue its other campus work in the meantime.

“This is not a full stop,” she said.

“We’re really committed to making sure CARE continues to exist for students.”

Currie said the sexual health education and violence prevention coordinator will be promoted to assistant director of CARE, and the office will develop a survey about sexual assault on campus to be released Winter Quarter to all

Szot not enrolled for Fall Quarter The University said Thursday that Michael Szot, a McCormick senior who faces drunk driving charges from a July car crash that killed two, is not currently enrolled at Northwestern.

Citing privacy laws, University spokesman Bob Rowley declined to comment on Szot’s case. Rowley could not specify whether the decision was made by the University or Szot, or whether Szot’s enrollment status could be changed in the future.

The DUI charges stem from a July 19 car accident in Naperville, Illinois that killed McCormick senior Mihirtej Boddupalli and Indiana University student Sajaad Syed. Authorities said Szot drove the car into a water-filled quarry.

He swam to shore but both passengers were pronounced dead at a hospital.

The confirmation of Szot’s enrollment status comes a day after his friends rallied around a Change.org petition, urging the University to allow Szot to return to campus this academic year.

Supermarket chain buys Evanston Plaza

By Paige leSkin

daily senior staffer @paigeleskin

Local grocery chain Valli Produce finalized its $16 million purchase of the Evanston Plaza shopping center Thursday, where it plans to open a grocery store and improve current storefronts.

Valli Produce bought the shopping center, located at Dempster Street and Dodge Avenue, after finishing negotiations with former owner Bonnie Management Corporation. The corporation originally acquired the shopping center for $8 million in December 2012.

Owners of the supermarket hope to be able to open as early as mid-May, city manager Wally Bobkiewicz said.

The city will assist Valli in connecting with local employment partners to find staff, who will be hired closer to the store’s opening, he said.

Valli’s owners intend to renovate the shopping center according to a presentation given to the Administration and

Public Works Committee on Sept. 8.

SENIOR REFLECTIONS

MARIANA ALFARO // Figuring ‘it’ out at Northwestern For the first three years of my time at Northwestern, my friends wouldn’t even question where I was between the hours of 5 p.m. and 2 a.m. on weekdays. Third floor of Norris, all night long. Do I regret it? Never. Do I wish I had gotten more sleep during college?

Maybe. It would have been nice.

I joke that The Daily Northwestern is the love of my life. It is, at the very least, the longest, most committed relationship of my college career. Being a staffer and editor at this paper has been a rollercoaster ride of an experience. My first clips, my first errors, my first breaking news, they all happened here. I picked up all of the skills that make me the journalist I am today in this newsroom.

It’s a weird time to be a journalist. It’s an even weirder time to be learning how to be one, particularly as a foreign Latina. But The Daily got me through a lot. I will never forget

spending the night of Nov. 8, 2016, in our newsroom. As news broke, The Daily served as a reminder of what I came to do in America.

Moving to the United States marked the first time I really had to think about what it means to be Latina. I never had to test my racial and ethnic identities in El Salvador, where I grew up surrounded by people with backgrounds and stories similar to my own. I also never had to put these identities in the context of my role as a journalist. All that came into play when I started my career in this newsroom.

The Daily isn’t the most representative space on campus, and being one of the few Latinx people in the room got exhausting at times.

Working here wasn’t always easy — there were many moments when I wanted to quit.

However, over the years, this newsroom became a place where I could explore my identities while also working with my peers to find ways

ALLYSON CHIU // ‘I love my job.’

I was 10 years old when I first watched “The Devil Wears Prada,” arguably one of the most quotable films of all time. Although the movie has produced an array of iconic moments ranging from Meryl Streep’s scathing monologue on the history of cerulean to Emily Blunt’s catty one-liners (think “hideous skirt convention”), one moment in particular has stuck with me all these years.

“I love my job, I love my job, I love my job.”

While I didn’t know it in 2006, Blunt whisper-chanting these four words to herself at her desk as she powered through a debilitating cold would become so much more to me than just a funny movie line I quoted once in awhile. In fact, some would even argue that it became my mantra.

The shift in the significance of these words happened Spring Quarter of my junior year.

I can’t remember exactly what led to me

pulling an Emily and repeatedly saying “I love my job,” but I have a pretty good idea of the situation I was in.

It was most likely some ungodly hour, like 3 or 4 a.m., and I was where I always was on week nights: in The Daily’s newsroom. At the time I was campus editor, a position that my predecessor and former editor-in-chief Peter Kotecki recently called “the job that breaks us all.”

Something broke me that spring night.

Maybe a story was way past deadline and still hadn’t been filed. Maybe (God forbid) a story had fallen through. Maybe I was just running on fumes from having not slept or eaten a proper meal. Whatever it was, I needed to remind myself why I voluntarily subjected myself to a job that often required me to sacrifice sleep, healthy habits and social engagements.

to better serve and represent our community and staff. It wasn’t always perfect but this was, after all, my main learning space.

All of us had these spaces at Northwestern: spaces where we cried, spaces where we laughed, spaces where we met people who shaped our lives one way or another. As we prepare to graduate, I feel like there’s a pressure to feel like we have “it” figured out, but I encourage you to forget about the “it” and instead think about the people, places and organizations that, in four years, made you who you are today.

We didn’t come to Northwestern to find what “it” is all about. We came here to make mistakes, to make questionable style choices, to drink too much at Nevin’s, to snooze our alarms for that 9 a.m. class, to change our majors and minors one or two or three times, to take Lakefill naps on warm fall evenings, to curse

under our frozen breath while walking down Sheridan in the winter, to consensually make out with people whose names we might not really remember and to make lifelong friends and memories that, in the end, are the things about Northwestern we will remember the most.

While leaving Northwestern and The Daily is a little scary, I’m excited to use the lessons I learned here — and the platform that this university got me — out there in the real world.

I might never figure out what “it” is all about, but at least I know I’ll try my best to make our world a better place.

With that said, I’d like to end my time at NU by saying that children are being ripped away from their parents at the border right now.

If you’re a U.S. citizen, call your representative.

Make this stop.

Thank you, and go ‘Cats.

The reason I arrived at was simple. I loved my job.

I loved spending 40-plus hours a week with my closest friends. I loved being able to report and edit every day. I loved getting the newsroom experience that I knew I would need for the career in journalism I hoped to have. I loved vending machine Cheez-Its. I loved 11 p.m. Starbucks runs. I even loved the walks home at dawn, pretending not to see the judgmental looks from passing joggers or motorists.

From that moment in Spring Quarter until my last night in the newsroom, “I love my job” became my unofficial catchphrase. It was said jokingly. It was said seriously. It was said just to say it. I even got it printed on the back of a shirt.

Before I knew it, other staffers started doing it too and “I love my job” became “We

love our jobs.” Sometimes, on particularly tough nights, we would briefly look up from our laptops, make eye contact and say, “I love my job” in unison, before again being consumed by whatever we were working on.

My parents always told me it’s important to appreciate the things you love, so thank you Daily.

Thank you for the 4 a.m. vending machine meals. Thank you for preparing me for anything I may face in my journalism career.

Thank you for training me to function and be capable of working in the middle of the night while most normal people are fast asleep.

Thank you for the lasting friendships that are only formed when you experience shared trauma. Thank you for some of the best (and worst) times of my Northwestern experience.

Most of all, thank you for teaching me to love my job. » Senior reflections continued on page 4

MATTHEW CHOI

MATTHEW CHOI // A labor of love When I was a young child, my piano teacher was the pastor’s wife. She was very loving in that ol’-timey way, meaning she took no bulls---, believing only in Jesus and discipline.

She made me learn hymns in addition to my usual lessons, and one day, she asked if I wanted to play my hymn for the evening service.

“Uhm, no.”

“Fine,” she replied in her Baptist drawl. “If you don’t want to serve the Lord, that’s your choice.”

I played Nearer My God to Thee.

Thus began my long relationship with guiltinduced labor. Often in highly competitive environments like Northwestern, we are motivated by a fear of inadequacy to perform beyond our means. We dread unemployment, disappointing our family and failing ourselves.

We measure ourselves against our peers, no

matter how often we outwardly say we don’t.

But during my time at The Daily Northwestern, nothing drove me more than guilt.

The news happens, whether we want it to or not, and we need to cover it. A paper will be printed every day, regardless of our prior commitments or level of sleep deprivation.

Work needs to get done.

My friends at The Daily and I would start neglecting our health, classwork and relationships to do the job at hand. As the quarter progressed, we started coming into the newsroom increasingly more disheveled, with bags under our eyes, greasy hair and sallow skin. Our tempers got shorter. Tears were shed.

Gossip got nasty. But we still punched through the work.

There were many times I wanted to call it quits and go to sleep. The constant hate mail,

SHANE MCKEON

unending anxiety, newsroom cabin-fever — everything takes a toll. But my friends at The Daily cared, and I knew they would have to do my work if I didn’t. So I powered on.

That guilt motivated me to stay until sunrise and neglect my schoolwork to get that one last quote or edit that one last graph.

I’ve learned a lot at The Daily, from how to write a balanced story to how to respond to angry sources. But most of all, I’ve learned to follow through with commitments because I told my friends I would.

It’s easy — and even encouraged — to decide at the 11th hour that you no longer feel like doing something and resign to defeat. Many times, it’s legitimate and necessary to admit that for the sake of your health, you have to step back and take a breath. But it’s also important to keep your eye on how your actions impact the peers

SHANE MCKEON // Northwestern needs a new fight song Fellow Wildcats: Does it strike any of you as odd that despite everything Northwestern has accomplished in the past century — its expansion out onto the Lakefill, its evolution into an extremely selective university, BrewBike — we still keep around that same old fight song?

Isn’t it bizarre that our “fight song,” a tune that ostensibly sets the mood for battle, sounds more like a cheesy B-side from “The Music Man”? Do we really want to keep spending our Saturdays mindlessly clapping to this dusty ditty that’s as ancient as the Taft administration?

We need a new fight song. To be clear, I don’t want to eliminate “Go U Northwestern” from our tradition. Marching music is an endangered species, college sports its final habitat. We ought to preserve our Sousa-esque romp, lest our grandchildren never experience the joy of shouting “Hit ‘em high, hit em low!” and being corrected by some asshole in their PA group.

But we can add a second fight song.

Something a little more contemporary, a song with a little more oomph, and/or a verse from Lil Yachty. Anticipating your agreement with

this premise, I scoured Spotify for a song that actually epitomizes Northwestern-specific “fight” and might bring our student body closer.

As you might expect, I began with “cat” songs. Not fruitful. “Cat’s In The Cradle”? Too depressing. “Cat Scratch Fever”? Not really the crowd. Rej3ctz’s 2011 classic “Cat Daddy”? An indisputable bop, but it doesn’t quite “get the people going” as we need.

I thought outside the box, but to no avail.

I’m still workshopping my DIY remake of the Kaiser Chief ’s “Ruby” where, instead of “Ruby,” the chorus goes “Morty Morty Morty Morty.”

I began to feel like my whole project was a failure. These were dark days. I started having recurring visions of a nightmarish realm where Chet Haze’s “White and Purple” plays on repeat for all eternity, and I’d wake up in a cold sweat, whispering to myself, “White kicks ... Purple kush … This is college, hittin’ blunts after hittin’ books.”

But then, I had an epiphany: Purple. A song about purple! There are plenty of those.

I returned down the Spotify-hole. Two purple classics came to mind immediately, one involving rain, another haze. But they were too

emotional and stonerish, respectively.

But then it happened. I heard a choir of angels, and a thin stream of golden light descended upon my Spotify search, illuminating with its majesty one particular song I had not heard in years. I felt as though I had finally found the Holy Grail: a fight song that actually slaps.

And so, in the hallowed pages of the graduation issue, I humbly present to you a song called “Start Wearing Purple.” YouTube it. It will make you want to down a box of Franzia and get Fitz’s name tattooed on your neck.

Go watch the music video. Do you see this pandemonium? This mindless euphoria brought on by donning the color purple? This is what Northwestern students need! “Go U Northwestern” sounds like everything that’s a bummer about NU: too stiff, too predictable, unexciting, staid. Just twiddling away our four years until we get that entry-level gig at Deloitte.

But this song, with its eminently shoutable demands: “Start wearing purple for me now!

All your sanity and wits, they will all vanish, I promise! It’s just a matter of time!” Who among

COREY MUELLER // Students, be more considerate in bars This year, I started working at the World of Beer in downtown Evanston to help pay rent.

I have seen my share of customers during my time at the bar, and I will say that very few cause a comparable frustration to Northwestern students.

I understand the appeal of bars. They have good music, or karaoke, or trivia, and it’s a fun experience to have with your friends. It’s also a place that isn’t one of your dirty apartments where you can drink and feel more like an ”adult.”

Unfortunately, most Northwestern students don’t act like adults when they come into these establishments. Even graduate students, some of whom bring their spouses and children, do not understand how to act in a bar.

Students need to practice patience when dealing with their wait staff, especially when the bar is busy. Kellogg students are particularly bad offenders, often coming in with hordes of people

without calling ahead to alert the restaurant. We are then caught off guard and scramble because we are not prepared for your group, especially in addition to our other customers.

Undergraduates are also often impatient, but being upset with the waiters and bartenders never helps you get your drink or food more quickly. Going up to the bar will also just confuse the staff and make things more complicated for us.

Trust me, I get it. You want your pretzel or your IPA, and it’s been a minute since you’ve seen your server. But they are not hiding from you. I promise that they are working their darndest to get your order over to you. Be aware of your surroundings; there are a lot of moving parts in a bar, and we have to serve everyone else, too.

The service industry is a particularly difficult one in which to work. Have you ever played those internet restaurant games, the ones where

you have to build pizzas or make sure that the cappuccinos and Americanos get to the right table? Imagine that, but turn the difficulty up all the way. Then make it twice as hard and, instead of digital customers that don’t talk to you or have questions about the menu, put real humans at your tables, humans who have attitudes or feel they’re entitled to your entire attention. You don’t have the luxury of feeling overwhelmed either because you have to take orders for your other 50 guests, some of whom have allergies or dietary restrictions or simply don’t like mushrooms.

Then imagine, you do this for roughly $3 per hour. You are on your feet for, at minimum, eight hours. And after serving everyone correctly, or making a good beer suggestion to a guest, imagine that they leave a 10 or 15 percent tip. You ran — quite possibly literally ran — around making sure their experience was as pleasant as possible, but they still underpaid you

COREY MUELLER

who will have to cover for you.

Most of my class finished our time and stopped working for The Daily after junior year.

Many former Daily staffers, including me, now ask, what was it all for? Why did we invest so much time into something that often made us feel like s---? The Daily often deprived us of our health, social lives and self confidence. Many people won’t talk to me anymore because of the strain The Daily put on our relationship. And what did we get out of it?

We were investing into the paper, and we learned immeasurably from the experience. I never would know the things I know about news if it weren’t for my time there. But what we were really investing into and what we really gained were the bonds that can only come from sacrificing for those we care about. By telling our friends, “Get some sleep. I’ve got this.”

us has not felt this sentiment at a football game?

The desire to unplug your wits, forget all that’s demanded of us and just watch three hours of head-on collisions?

It’s not a healthy relationship we have with this sport, but it’s the locus of whatever smidgen of school spirit we have. We may hate to admit it, but, alongside the latent guilt lots of us feel about patronizing such violence, these games offer something exhilarating for students who have spent the week prior straining our brains.

We get to power down our minds and flood our brain cells with Skol and André, then spend an afternoon cheering on brain-jostling “fun.” It’s not at all healthy, no. We should probably cut back a bit. But all things in moderation.

More than anything, though, “Start Wearing Purple” emphasizes what we have in common: that we wear purple. I do it. You do it. Freshmen do it a lot. Wearing purple is the one thing — more than breaking through that line, or hitting someone hard or low — that we have in common. Let’s celebrate that. Or, we can keep politely mumbling along to our current fight song, a tune from the days when people rode those bikes that had one really big front wheel.

for your service.

Customers who tip poorly do not just short you, though. What many customers do not understand is that a portion of that tip also goes to all of the bartenders that poured their drinks or made their cocktails and to bussers, if the restaurant employs them. I could write a whole column on the exploitative nature of the service industry, but, to put it simply, your servers work much too hard to be paid as little as they are, and you can help alleviate that.

You are going out to be served, not just to pay for drinks or food, so please let that be reflected in your bill. If I may suggest, consider 20 percent as your baseline tip and increase that if you receive exceptional service.

Please, Northwestern students, be more understanding and patient with your waiters and bartenders. Some of us are also students, and many of us do these jobs not because we want to, but because we have to pay the bills.

Barack Obama delivers speech at Northwestern

Touting his administration’s health care, educational and economic policies, former President Barack Obama called Kellogg School of Management students the leaders of the nation’s economic future in a speech peppered with jokes and Northwestern references during an October 2014 visit to campus.

“Kellogg Business School, you guys are all smart. You do all this analysis. You run the numbers,” he said, drawing laughter from the crowd of over 500 Kellogg students, along with a handful of NU undergraduates, administrators and local and state officials. “Has anybody here seen a credible argument that (cutting taxes for the wealthy) is what our economy needs right now?”

Obama called on the Kellogg community to support policies such as minimum wage raises, equal pay for women, paid maternity leave, immigration reform and other Democratic Party agenda items in the upcoming midterm election.

Associated Student Government Senate passed a Northwestern Divest-sponsored resolution early Thursday morning asking

the University to divest from six corporations the resolution’s sponsors say violate Palestinians’ human rights.

The resolution passed with 24 votes in favor and 22 votes against, with three abstentions. The vote, cast through a secret ballot, came after more than five hours of debate, during which senators, students

and alumni alternated speaking for and against the resolution.

MAJOR APPROVED

Asian-American studies major created after faculty passes proposal

Daily file photos by Vincent Laforet, Chris Lee and Chris Ward

MORE THAN 20 YEARS IN THE MAKING Protesters (left) demonstrate in front of Rebecca Crown Center in 1995 demanding an Asian-American studies major. Charles Chun (center) fasted for 12 days in 1995 during a hunger strike protesting the lack of a major. Students (right) rally at The Rock in 1998 in favor of the major’s creation.

The proposal for an Asian-American studies major was approved at the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences faculty meeting Wednesday afternoon, officially making the major an option for all students at the start of the 2016-17 academic year.

Presented by three core faculty members from the

Asian American Studies Program, Professors Ji-Yeon Yuh, Nitasha Sharma and Shalini Shankar, the proposal came in light of recent student demand for the major as well as 20 years of campus activism pushing for its addition.

The proposal for the Asian-American studies major was voted on and passed with an overwhelming majority in the span of five minutes, Sharma said.

“After we voted it in, I started to clap and the room followed,” Sharma said. “But then when the legal studies major was passed right after, people clapped again.

Top University officials have confirmed Northwestern’s “We Will” campaign is ahead of schedule.

“Either we’ll finish the campaign early or we’ll raise more than what we have set a goal for,” said Bob McQuinn, vice president of alumni relations and development, in an interview with The Daily last week.

The confirmation comes after alumna Roberta Buffett Elliott’s record $100 million donation late last month. Elliott’s donation, announced Jan. 28, put the total raised for the $3.75 billion campaign above a landmark $2 billion both pledged and donated. Meanwhile, the University is netting donations at a rate of more than $8.8 million a week, McQuinn said.

Chicago Transit Authority crime drops in 2014

Serious crimes at Chicago Transit Authority stations and on CTA vehicles fell 26 percent and theft and robberies fell 28 percent in 2014, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the CTA announced Tuesday.

Emanuel, the CTA and the Chicago Police Department have increased security cameras to more than 23,000 cameras and expanded police patrols, rail saturation missions and increased undercover operations to decrease crime in CTA buses, trains and stations, according to the CTA. “Over the past three and a half years we have developed and implemented an aggressive plan to fight crime and increase safety on the

» See SENATE, page 4 CTA by adding thousands of security cameras and strengthening policing strategies,” Emanuel said in the CTA news release. “We are committed to the safety of every Chicagoan who takes public transportation, we are sending the message that we will not tolerate criminal activity, and we are seeing the results.”

Robberies have decreased 34 percent, while thefts have decreased 26 percent. In 2014, CTA buses had their lowest rate of serious crimes in the past four years.

“By working closely with the Chicago Police Department and continuing our investment in security technology, we have been able to increase arrests with the aid of state-of-theart video and provide a more secure environment for everyone,” said CTA President Forrest Claypool.

People didn’t understand that I was thinking of the hunger strike, I was thinking of student activism — I was thinking that this is momentous.”

Weinberg’s major proposal guidelines include a two-part process to officially add a major to the school. The first part requires a reading of the proposal at a faculty meeting, which took place Jan. 13.

Sharma told The Daily last month that there was no negative sentiment toward the proposal at the January meeting and surmised it was likely to be passed at the next meeting.

The second part of the major proposal requires a vote at the next faculty meeting, which took place Wednesday afternoon, at which time the major was officially added to the list of Weinberg majors. The proposal included the official contents of the major, providing the general overview of the major’s necessity, as well as the specific courses that students will take and the list of requirements they will have to meet.

County announces same-sex marriage license numbers

Evanston has issued more marriage licenses to same-sex couples than any other suburb in Cook County, according to a report released Wednesday by the county’s clerk.

Evanston issued 142 marriage licenses in Cook County’s first year after legalizing same-sex marriage, according to the report.

More than three months before Illinois legalized gay marriage, Cook County Clerk David Orr was authorized to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples who planned to marry in Cook

County on Feb. 21, 2014. Since then, more than 6,500 same-sex couples have married in the county.

“As we mark the one-year anniversary of marriage equality in Cook County, we celebrate more than the historic day I began issuing licenses to same-sex couples,” Orr said in the report. “We also celebrate every day that loving couples have been able to share in this most basic right, a right that was denied to so many for too long.”

Chicago residents made up about 66 percent of the same-sex couples who were issued licenses. Marriage licenses were issued to 1,191 suburban Cook County residents or about 18.5 percent of the total licenses issued. Evanston issued the most of Cook County suburbs, followed

by Oak Park, Berwyn, Des Plaines and

Schaumburg.

More than 350 same-sex couples from other counties were issued Cook County licenses, and more than 1,800 couples came from 41 other states, including Michigan, Indiana and Ohio. Fourteen couples from countries including China, Russia, Spain and England traveled to get married in Cook County.

“While marriage equality has spread like a tidal wave across the country, it needs to be recognized in every state,” Orr said in the report. “Couples from 41 other states – big and small, urban and rural – have applied for licenses in Cook County. And as we’ve seen recently in Alabama, Arkansas and Kansas, the fight for equality is not yet over.”

College of Arts and Sciences faculty meeting in February 2016, officially making the major an option for all students at the start of the 2016-17 academic year.

On April 12, 1995, students camped at The Rock for 23 days as part of a hunger strike to push for the establishment of an AsianAmerican studies program. Four year later, the University established a program, which only included a minor.

Divvy bike-sharing stations will officially come to Evanston this summer after City Council approved their

installation in a 5-4 vote Monday.

The vote allows for the city to engage in an intergovernmental agreement with Chicago to expand the bike-sharing program to Evanston. Eight stations with ten bikes each will be purchased in part using a grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation and will be installed by

July 1 of this year, along with two additional stations to be placed on Northwestern’s campus.

Cockrell said students request laptop loans at least two to three times a month.

The laptop is given to them for a quarter, then returned to NUIT over break to wipe them and check for viruses. Students can then “re-check out” the laptop the following quarter if needed, she said.

Laptops are the most in-demand item for low-income and first-generation students, followed closely by general academic supplies and textbooks, Cockrell said. The office also offers new winter gear to these students.

“If we’re not able to provide basic needs to all students from the beginning, how can we expect to create a truly inclusive environment?” she said.

SES is the product of organizing by students from Quest Scholars Network in response to student need. The office was created in October 2014 after Quest Scholars shared their experiences and struggles as low-income or first-generation students with administrators. SES regularly meets with Quest Scholars to discuss student needs and how students can become more involved with the administration, Cockrell said.

Amanda Walsh, president of NU’s chapter of the Quest Scholars Network, stressed the continued close relationship between the Quest Scholars and SES, noting that any gift to SES directly benefits students who need it.

Unshackle NU introduced legislation Wednesday at Associated Student Government Senate to pressure the University to divest from companies the group says promote the prison-industrial complex and to create a socially responsible investment committee.

The proposal comes one year after a Northwestern Divest resolution narrowly passed Senate, calling for the university to cease investment in companies the group said violate Palestinian human rights.

Unshackle NU members presented the resolution after a protest at The Rock on Tuesday.

A donation of 13 laptops from the Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications is the latest in a series of efforts by Student Enrichment Services to provide resources to students on campus.

Dorina Rasmussen, director of student life at Medill, said she serves on a faculty advisory board for SES and learned that students often come to the office when their equipment has failed and they can’t immediately afford to replace it.

The donated computers will be loaned out to low-income and first-generation students.

“Especially knowing that a lot of our students utilize their laptops and software, we know what it’s like to have that need,” she said. “We want to make sure that students don’t lack the access to technology needed to be successful here.”

The laptop loan program started last year in response to student need, SES director Kourtney Cockrell said. SES and NU Information Technology began with five laptops. About 10 more were donated by the School of Education and Social Policy and a subsequent handful were given by Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, she said.

“As I was interacting with students … laptop access was a big issue,” she said.

ASG confirms student life co-VP SESP sophomore tapped after prior VP stepped down

By FATHMA RAHMAN

daily senior staffer @fathmarahman

Associated Student Government confirmed SESP sophomore Ben Powell as a new co-vice president for student life at Senate, two weeks after the previous one resigned.

Powell was unanimously nominated by the selection committee and confirmed at Senate on Wednesday night.

In the past, he has served as a residential senator and a senator for a coalition of social justice groups.

“I’ve gotten to work with people on a lot of projects I’ve been really passionate about in ASG,” Powell said when addressing Senate before his confirmation. “I’ve gotten to see the hard work students are doing to improve campus, and I’ve also gotten to see some of the real institutional challenges ASG has in helping these students and addressing their concerns.”

Powell said he applied for the position because many projects he has worked on involve student life, including talks with Real Food at

NU about putting groceries and produce in C-stores and discussions with the Center for Awareness, Response and Education about putting up posters with resources for survivors of sexual assault.

Powell said he has experience with grassroots community advocacy and can use the skills he learned about community organizing in his new position. “(It’s) not just how we’re going to manage this committee and produce these projects, but really how are we going to build student power (and) how are we going to bring people together around the goals we want to accomplish?” he said.

In response to a question about the open student group initiative, Powell said clubs are an important part of the student experience and, as such, need to be provided with better resources, such as more funding and greater access to performance spaces.

Powell also addressed exclusivity, saying some student groups may need to be small to maintain cohesivity.

But he said it can be “incredibly demoralizing” for new students entering “intense” acceptance processes, creating issues of equity and fairness in terms of access. » See ASG, page 7

Faculty Senate discussed shortening each quarter by one week at its meeting Wednesday as an alternative to the so-called “10-5-5-10” calendar, which a Senate report released last month found many departments oppose.

Under the “10-5-5-10” calendar, Northwestern would begin classes in late August and end in late May. Winter Quarter would become two five-week sessions, split by a Winter Break without assignments.

“The data shows that our schedule has significant disadvantages,” said religious studies Prof. Laurie Zoloth, president of Faculty Senate. “Not only for internships but actual jobs for people that need to work, for fellowship deadlines in the fall. The faculty were complaining about the very late ending in June.”

During the meeting Wednesday, Zoloth presented potential changes to the academic calendar. Every quarter would be one

week shorter with three weeks shaved off the entire academic year. If classes started a week earlier in the fall, the quarter could end by Thanksgiving, allowing for a longer winter break. The shortened Winter and Spring Quarters would allow for a longer Spring Break or an earlier finals week during Spring Quarter.

“We wanted to address the fact that we can make life better,” Zoloth said. “That’s the

intent of a senate — making life better for the academic community and for the faculty and of course for the students as well.”

Wednesday’s proposal suggests maintaining the same number of class minutes per quarter, but spread out over 8.33 weeks, Zoloth said. Classes offered three times per week would become 60-minute sessions rather than the current 50-minute sessions. The remaining two days in the ninth week

of the quarter would serve as a University-wide reading period, followed by finals during week 10. Quarters with nine weeks of instruction would be shortened to 7.33 weeks under the proposal.

The proposed schedule would allow for more time with family and more time to travel, Zoloth said. Beginning and ending the academic year earlier would bring the University’s schedule closer to peer institutions and would allow for students to start jobs and internships earlier, she said.

Philosophy Prof. Baron Reed, chair of Faculty Senate’s Educational Affairs committee, said the proposed idea has drawbacks as well. He said shortening quarters would lead to fasterpaced quarters with fewer, but longer, classes. The schedule also raises concerns for work study, extracurriculars and athletics, Reed said.

“The real concern is whether this is going to be something that will increase student stress rather than lower it,” he said.

n a shocking upset, Donald Trump won the presidential election held Tuesday, riding widespread discontent

with political elites to become a president-elect unlike any other in American history.

The victory will make the billionaire entrepreneur the first commander-in-chief never to have held a government office or served in the military, halting Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s bid to become the nation’s first

woman president.

Trump’s victory shocked political observers who had predicted a victory for Clinton, a former secretary of state and first lady. But Clinton fell short in crucial states, including some projected to go blue such as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan.

Trump said Clinton called

him and conceded the race, adding in his victory speech that the United States owed her a “major debt of gratitude” for her service to the country.

Duckworth wins lone Senate flip for Dems

Representative beats Sen. Mark Kirk, while other Dem candidates for Senate fall

By NORA SHELLY

daily senior staffer @noracshelly

Rep. Tammy Duckworth’s (D-Ill.) victory over Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) was the only seat flip in the Senate Tuesday night for the Democrats.

D uckworth beat Kirk by more than 14 percent, Politico reported, with the race called shortly after polls closed at 7 p.m. Then, it seemed Kirk’s seat might be the first domino to fall in a series of Republican losses.

As the night progressed, however, it quickly became clear that would not be the case.

D uckworth ended up being the only Democrat to flip a seat from a Republican incumbent, with losses for Democrats in battleground states such as Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The Republicans maintain a majority in

the Senate by a margin of 51 to 45.

In her acceptance speech, made as Republican nominee Donald Trump began gaining ground, Duckworth said a Clinton victory might be a win for “inclusiveness, and for the American values we hold dear.”

“Our hope is that tonight’s result serves as a new birth of freedom — and also a reminder that the price of freedom is eternal vigilance,” she said.

Duckworth said she would work to bring unity to the Senate after her inauguration.

College affordability, clean energy and veteran care were at the top of Duckworth’s platform. She said on Tuesday she would be a “watchdog for taxpayer dollars.”

“I have made procurement reform — particularly when it comes to waste in defense spending — a priority,” she said. “We can make the investments in our people

Serving the University and Evanston since 1881

that will make our nation more prosperous — and more secure.”

The race between Kirk and Duckworth was nothing

short of contentious, with candidates — both veterans — clashing over military intervention, refugee policy and immigration reform

throughout the campaign.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) looks on as Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) accepts victory in her race for the Senate against Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.). Duckworth won by a margin of 14 percent, Politico reported.

Tuesday did not go as planned.

All day, many students snapped voting selfies and stood in virtual solidarity as Hillary Clinton was poised to become the first woman president of the United States.

Donald Trump yard signs — which sprouted on lawns and roadsides throughout the country — seemed just about nonexistent on Northwestern’s campus. As the polling results began to stream in, many residents in Evanston were confident that Clinton would win.

It wasn’t until about 9 p.m. that reality began to sink in.

It was a reality almost nobody saw coming: Trump was going to become the next president.

By 2 a.m., it was clear. He is the president-elect.

“We were watching the percentage likelihood of Donald Trump winning climb, and it came off as a joke. I still think it’s a joke,” said Tristan Litre, a Weinberg junior who helped plan a gathering at the Lakefill after it became apparent that Trump was going to win the election.

NU students gathered at events across campus Tuesday night, both to watch the election results pour in and celebrate a historic moment in U.S. history.

It just didn’t end up being the moment many thought they were about to witness.

“Frankly, I’ve been very surprised all night,” said Weinberg junior Jack Stucky, president of College Republicans. “I was going into this expecting Clinton to have a very clear win. I was definitely not expecting the race to be close, and I expected that if it were close, it wouldn’t go in his favor.”

Stucky, who voted for Trump, said he wanted Trump to win but added that he is worried because he does not know what he will be like as president.

“I’m anxious to see what he will do, but I’m glad that we won’t have to find out what Hillary would do,” Stucky said.

Most students did not seem to share Stucky’s sentiment.

Several said they were worried, disappointed and even “terrified” by the prospect of a Trump presidency. They » See REACTION, page 4

Feb. 10, 2017 - Hundreds gather on campus to protest against President Trump’s travel ban

More than 200 Northwestern community members and Evanston residents, including Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl, protested on campus in February 2017 as part of a nationwide movement against recent immigration actions by President Donald Trump, which temporarily barred citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States.

The event, organized by Academics United and co-sponsored by 21 student organizations, was held in response to an executive order that barred citizens of Yemen, Sudan, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Libya and Somalia from entering the country for 90 days.

Nov. 2, 2016 - NU, Evanston rejoice after Chicago Cubs win World Series

A curse was lifted, the North Side of Chicago exalted and the Evanston city alarm rang into the night in November 2016 after the Chicago Cubs captured their first world championship in a century.

The Cubs defeated the Cleveland Indians in a heart-pounding, 10-inning Game 7 of the World Series, capturing Major League Baseball’s highest prize for the first time in 108 years.

The victory came after a historic comeback from a 3-1 series deficit, something no team had done in a World Series since 1985. The Cubs were also the first team to win Games 6 and 7 on the road since the Pittsburgh Pirates managed the feat against the Baltimore Orioles in 1979.

City staff introduced an ordinance last week to regulate the placement of small cell towers on utility poles in Evanston.

The proposed ordinance comes after Illinois municipalities saw a recent uptick in applications for the installation of small cell towers, when Evanston decided they needed more regulations in place. Mark Muenzer, director of community development for the city, said the ordinance would allow the city to effectively handle the increase.

“A telecommunications company will come in and say, ‘We’re looking at Evanston from this street to eight blocks away, and it covers 20, 30 (or) 40 utility poles.’

So this gives us the ability to kind of look at that in an aggregate and review it,” he said.

The memorandum outlining the cell tower ordinance, crafted by Grant Farrar, corporation counsel, described small cell towers as “a relatively new

Holmes praised Simmons’ preparedness.

“She is always professional,” the statement reads. “She has educated herself on the issues.

She knows and understands the Ward and its residents.

She is easy to engage with, open to partnering with others and is inclusive, effective, informed and willing to work with everyone.”

Holmes told The Daily that she was impressed with Simmons’ regular attendance at ward and council meetings, as well as her work with Sunshine

State Sen. Daniel Biss (D-Evanston) announced legislation Thursday that would create a public matching system for campaign donations.

The bill would create a publicly-funded matching program for small campaign donations in the state, but would not limit candidates from forgoing the program and sticking with the traditional system. Candidates who choose to participate in the small-donor matching program would be required to limit the size of individual contributions.

Biss said at a news conference that the bill would encourage candidates to refocus their political efforts on “ordinary people.”

“Our political system is one where power is concentrated in the hands of a very small number of people,” he said. “We want to elevate the voices of ordinary people whose role in politics has been nearly silenced for too long.”

The program would match donations from $25 to $150 at a 6:1 ratio, Biss said, and would limit individual contributions to $500. Candidates for governor would be able to receive a maximum amount of $5 million. The limit is $1 million for attorney general candidates.

Candidates for the state senate would have a limit of $300,000, and those running for state representative would be limited to half that.

The legislation is based off a similar system in New York City.

Biss said candidates, while not forced into accepting the publicly-matched funds, would be encouraged to do so. The smalldonor matching system was “the people’s way” to campaign, Biss said.

“Candidates are scared not to opt into the matching system,” he said. “This creates pressure on people without taking away anybody’s constitutional right to do things the old way.”

City officials, students protest against travel ban

By JONAH DYLAN and CATHERINE KIM the daily northwestern @thejonahdylan, @ck_525

More than 200 Northwestern community members and Evanston residents, including Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl, protested Thursday on campus as part of a nationwide movement against recent immigration actions by President Donald Trump, which temporarily barred citizens of

seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States.

The event, organized by Academics United and co-sponsored by 21 student organizations, was held in response to the executive order, which barred citizens of Yemen, Sudan, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Libya and Somalia from entering country for 90 days, prevented refugees from entering for 120 days, and Syrian refugees indefinitely. On Thursday, a federal appeals court ruled Trump’s travel

ban will remain blocked.

In addition to marching and protesting on campus, organizers presented a list of demands to the Northwestern administration urging more support for students affected by the executive order.

Amir Maghsoodi, a thirdyear applied physics graduate student who holds both Iranian and American citizenship, helped organize the protest. He told The Daily the goal of the event was to show that the community is

united in support of affected students.

“We don’t stand for injustice,” he said. “We don’t stand for racism, discrimination. We know what our ideals are. We know what our values are as Americans, as Northwestern students.”

The protest started at The Rock, where protesters repeated chats such as, “No hate. No fear.

Immigrants are welcome here.”

After several students and faculty addressed the crowd, decrying

the executive order, organizers led a march up Sheridan Road to the front of Technological Institute.

At Tech, a series of speakers, including Tisdahl, four of the five current Evanston mayoral candidates and Ed Yohnka, American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois director of communications and public policy, addressed the crowd.

Cilento, Vinson look back Holmes endorses

By JONAH DYLAN

the daily northwestern @thejonahdylan

Associated Student Government President Christina Cilento and executive vice president Macs Vinson always wanted to connect with a wide range of students on campus.

But the beginning of their term proved divisive, Vinson said.

“Christina and Macs as a concept is scandalous,” said Vinson, a McCormick senior. “We started this campaign by literally saying, ‘We are centering this campaign on marginalized students.’ We decided that this is what our focus is going to be.”

Shortly after Cilento and

Vinson were sworn in, ASG’s election commission ruled they had obtained information on the voting margin before polls had closed and failed to disclose the information to the election commission and their opponents. Senate voted to punish the two soon afterward, adding extra challenges for the beginning of their term, Cilento said.

Economics Prof. Mark Witte, ASG’s adviser, said before Cilento and Vinson could move forward, they had to win over students supporting Joji Syed and Archit Baskaran, who ran against Cilento and Vinson. Witte said many students who had supported the losing ticket felt betrayed by the election process.

“They worked for something for

small cell towers

technological advance installed in public right-of-ways.” The cells act as a small stand-ins for regular cell towers.

According to the memorandum, the towers are installed on utility poles, street lights or traffic signals located within utility easements or the public right-of-way.

At an Administration and Public Works Committee meeting in October, Farrar said the city had been receiving a lot of questions about the poles, both from city residents and other municipalities who had been noticing the poles as well.

The ordinance will aim to reconcile the “two competing interests” the city has concerning the poles, mainly the needs for functioning technology and safe infrastructure, Farrar said.

“Hopefully (it will) give a good roadmap for staff and for city council and proposed and prospective applicants as to what needs to be done, what some of the aesthetic safety issues that are in play,” he said. “We can bring

years, and then on the decisive day something crappy comes along and messes it up,” Witte said.

But Cilento said the duo was up to the challenge and made sure they didn’t let the extra hurdles interfere with their agenda of raising marginalized voices. She said she felt they have accomplished a “decent amount” and had accepted the idea that they had to work harder to gain back some students’ trust.

The city released a video in winter 2017 showing the 2015 arrest of Northwestern graduate student Lawrence Crosby, showing Evanston police kneeing him and punching his legs.

Crosby, a Ph.D. candidate in McCormick, was arrested on Oct. 10, 2015, after someone mistook him for stealing a car that he owned. He was charged with disobedience to police. Following the dismissal of his charges at trial, Crosby filed a lawsuit against the city, which is ongoing.

The Evanston Police Department released the video, which compiled footage from Crosby’s personal dashboard camera, police dashboard cameras and audio recordings of the 911 call that prompted the arrest, as well as conversations between police officers.

Hagerty, a first-time politician who pledged to build on “generations” of work, gained about 50.5 percent of the vote and was narrowly trailed by Ald. Mark Tendam (6th).

During his campaign, Hagerty focused on three major issues: expanding economic development to all neighborhoods, strengthening youth development to reduce violence and maintaining diversity through affordable housing. » Continued on page 10

The suspension runs until September 2018, Rowley said.

March 14, 2018 - Reports of man with gun on campus determined to be a swatting incident On March 14, Northwestern’s campus went into lockdown for over an hour. Many students, faculty and staff were stuck in various buildings on campus following a report of a person with a gun on campus.

The lockdown was a response to a man who called the police claiming he had shot his girlfriend at a graduate student residence, a report that was later determined to be a hoax.

Northwestern students flooded Tommy Nevin’s Pub in November 2017, hoping to soak in one last night at the popular bar before it closed soon after.

The line outside the bar, located at 1454 Sherman Ave., stretched down the sidewalk for much of the evening as students eagerly awaited what they referred to as “the last Nevin’s.”

But a night of revelry ended on a sour note, with the bar closing earlier than many expected as students attempted — some successfully — to take a part of the watering hole home with them.

In a Letter to the Editor published in The Daily, bar manager Brian Davenport said Nevin’s walls were rendered bare at the end of the night, with dart boards, photographs and mementos stolen.

It was a ceremony to remember for sure — rooted in British traditions like myrtle in the bride’s bouquet and guests wearing fascinators, but also featuring nods to Markle’s AfricanAmerican heritage like a gospel choir singing a rendition of the 1960s classic “Stand By Me.”

REWIND THE TAPE There’s no doubt about it: the Class of 2018 paid witness to the golden age of Northwestern athletics. The first NCAA Tournament appearance for men’s basketball. Two 10-win football seasons. Swimming star Jordan Wilimovsky competing in Rio. These Wildcats

11.09.2014 Field hockey wins firstever Big 10 Tournament championship

Northwestern toppled top-seed Maryland 3-1 in the Big Ten Tournament championship to claim its first-ever Big Ten Tournament title.

“It feels incredible, not so much the MVP, but the win,” goalkeeper Maddy Carpenter said. “It was an incredible game, everyone played well on every line. I’m incredibly proud to be taking this team to the NCAAs. It was a hard-fought battle, every single person had a part in the win today.”

Women’s golf makes national championship

Northwestern fell to Arizona State 3-1 in the final match, failing to make the same late comeback that sent the Cats to the championship contest earlier in the day.

Despite the loss, NU had a remarkable and historic week at Rich Harvest Farms Golf Club, less than 60 miles from Evanston in Sugar Grove, Illinois.

Women’s basketball upsets Ohio State Three days after falling out of the AP Top 25, the Wildcats snapped a two-game losing streak in stunning fashion, beating No. 5 Ohio State 86-82.

Making just her second career start, Pallas Kunaiyi-Akpanah recorded a double-double with 14 points and 14 rebounds in the upset win.

“Winning on our home court after a two-game losing streak in the Big Ten, that was huge for us,” captain Maggie Lyon said.

10.14.2017 Justin Jackson breaks school’s rushing record

Senior running back Justin Jackson passed Damien Anderson’s mark of 4,485 yards with a four-yard rush in the first quarter of Northwestern’s game against Maryland. That play gave Jackson 21 yards on the day and 4,489 yards for his career, the most in Wildcats history.

Volleyball shocks Penn State On a day when most Northwestern fans were reeling after the football team’s blowout loss to Michigan, volleyball coach Keylor Chan led his team to perhaps the biggest upset in program history.

In front of a packed Welsh-Ryan Arena, the Wildcats took down back-to-back defending national champion No. 3 Penn State in five sets. The victory was NU’s first over the Nittany Lions in almost 13 years.

“It’s an incredible feeling,” setter Taylor Tashima said. “Penn State (knows) they have a target on their backs and teams are going to show up to play them.”

Lacrosse topples Penn State in 2016 Big Ten Tournament

Northwestern was on a mission for revenge, and the Wildcats showed no mercy.

No. 3 seed NU advanced to the championship game of the Big Ten Tournament after defeating No. 2 seed Penn State.

The Wildcats avenged their 13-10 loss to the Nittany Lions in the 2015 Big Ten semifinals. “(There was) definitely revenge for last year and the last time we played them,” attacker Kaleigh Craig said. “Obviously being home was a huge motivator. … We really want to take advantage of it — we want to win it.”

Nia Coffey gets drafted 5th overall by then-San Antonio Stars

Jordan Wilimovsky competes in 2016 Olympic Games

03.16.2015

Northwestern legend Nia Coffey was selected by the San Antonio Stars as the No. 5 overall pick in the 2017 WNBA Draft, making her the highest Wildcat player ever selected.

With her pick, she became just the second NU selection in the WNBA Draft.

Amy Jaeschke was a third round selection in 2011.

“This became my dream after my freshman year,” Coffey said. “I’m just so happy that it happened. I put in the hard work to get here.”

11.05.2014

In the mosh pit that was the finish of a neartwo hour race, Jordan Wilimovsky just couldn’t get his hand to the touchpad.

The rising senior clawed his way among the leaders in the late stages of the Olympic 10-kilometer open water swim in Rio de Janeiro, but finished fifth with a time of 1 hour, 53:03.2 minutes. He missed a bronze medal by just 1.2 seconds and trailed gold medalist Ferry Weertman of the Netherlands by 3.4 seconds.

Women’s basketball makes the NCAA Tournament

Football stuns Notre Dame

03.16.2015

After a historic 23-win season, Northwestern finally made it back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 18 years.

The Wildcats were named a No. 7 seed on Selection Monday, marking their first appearance in the Big Dance since 1997. The Wildcats faced No. 10 Arkansas in the Oklahoma City region.

11.05.2014 Once the kick left his foot, Jack Mitchell had no doubt.

“I looked up and I knew it was in right away,” the sophomore kicker said after the game, “so I started running away.”

Mitchell’s 41-yard field goal in overtime gave Northwestern a shocking, seasonredeeming 43-40 victory over No. 18 Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana.

Men’s basketball tops Michigan

10.28.2017

Football upsets Michigan State in triple overtime

The ball hung in the air in the final moment of Northwestern’s battle with No. 16 Michigan State, as the outcome dangled in the balance. Spartans quarterback Brian Lewerke had just been stripped before recovering and heaving a high-arcing pass toward the end zone.

“Everyone was just holding their breath,” said running back Justin Jackson, who watched from the sideline.

On the other end of the throw waited junior linebacker Nate Hall. Hall said he “just played the ball,” fighting for position and then making a game-ending interception that sealed a 39-31 triple-overtime upset victory for the Wildcats and launched a gleeful student section onto the field in celebration.

As students rushed the Welsh-Ryan Arena court with an energy 78 years in the making and Northwestern players piled onto Dererk Pardon in celebration, coach Chris Collins didn’t know what to do.

“I kind of felt like I was Jimmy V back in ‘83,” Collins said, referencing North Carolina State coach Jim Valvano, who couldn’t find someone to hug after his team won the 1983 national title.
