House passes bill to release revenue to local governments

The Illinois House of Representatives voted Tuesday to release funds including motor fuel tax revenue and lottery winnings to local governments such as Evanston that have been missing the contributions since the state started a new fiscal year in July without a budget.

The same day the House passed the bill, Gov. Bruce Rauner announced his newfound approval of the legislation Tuesday in a memo to lawmakers. The governor’s memo, which voiced an ideological reversal on the issue, included a further suggestion that the state add money to local governments for purchases such as road salt considering the coming winter season.

The Senate would still need to approve the bill before it heads to the governor.

Evanston aldermen voted Monday to pass a resolution urging state leaders to take action to release funds similar to those included in the bill that passed the House, including revenue from video gambling and funding for emergency service centers.

The state has been withholding motor

community they do not have reason to feel unsafe in the area.

At the Thursday meeting of the city’s 2nd Ward, residents expressed worry for students walking home from school after gunshot fire was heard at about 4:15 p.m. one block from ETHS. Two individuals were arrested in connection with the incident after police saw them run into a residence in the 1800 block of Lake Street fuel tax revenue payments from communities such as Evanston since July 1. The missing funds — which would be restored to local government if this legislation is enacted — have led Evanston officials to question where some funding for city staff would come from if a state budget was not passed by January.

Rauner also reached an agreement with business groups and labor organizations Monday to a new framework on unemployment insurance. Rauner also announced changes state-funded child care, increasing eligibility from an emergency rule instituted at the beginning of July.

Although Rauner applauded legislators for the compromises made in Tuesday’s session, he noted that larger issues still need attention. The governor highlighted reforms such as term limits, property tax relief and a balanced budget that require consideration.

“We still need major structural and economic reforms,” Rauner said in a news release. “I know that not all of these are easy, but I’m confident we can accomplish a tremendous amount if everyone is willing to work together.”

Following news reports of alleged cheating last week, the Kellogg School of Management reaffirmed the importance of its honor code in a statement.

Poets and Quants, a blog focused on business schools, garnered attention when it published a post detailing anonymous allegations of cheating at Kellogg in September, as well as claims by anonymous sources that the school did not properly address or punish the alleged cheaters. The story was cited by several other news outlets after its publication, including CNBC, the Chicago Reader and Business Insider.

The Daily has not been able to verify any of the claims made in the story regarding the alleged incident.

In response to the story, Kellogg officials told The Daily in a statement that all honor code issues reported to the school are thoroughly investigated, including sanctions and hearings when necessary and appropriate, and that investigations and their results are confidential.

In addition to the provisions for confidentiality in its honor code, Kellogg cited the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, which protects the privacy of student education records, in preventing it from commenting on specific matters related to the application of its honor code.

In its statement, Kellogg said its honor code is designed to achieve fair, thoughtful and unbiased outcomes that reinforce the school’s commitment to both academic integrity and professional behavior.

Reports of cheating

In the post, three anonymous students alleged that six male students in the Master of Science in Management Studies program openly cheated during exams in statistics and accounting this September. The three students also claimed Kellogg assigned a biased student to conduct an investigation into the alleged cheating and ultimately failed to punish students accused of cheating. The students interviewed in the post who claimed to have witnessed the cheating incident additionally claimed that they have received threatening phone calls after the school released their names to the accused students.

Ethan Baron, the author of the Poets and Quants post, told The Daily he could not reveal any information about his sources to protect their identities, but said he was certain of the story’s accuracy.

“What I did to verify the information was speak with a whole number of different sources … from different people, to make sure the stories matched up, which they did,” Baron said.

Research funding hits record

By MARGARET CORN

the daily northwestern

This year, Northwestern’s sponsored research funding reached an all-time total of $620 million, representing a 4 percent increase from last year and a 63 percent increase in the past nine years alone.

Approximately 3,400 research proposals were written during the past fiscal year and totaled $2.5 billion, NU’s vice president for research Jay Walsh said.

“The faculty submitting these proposals … they’re submitting them into a competitive pool,” Walsh said. “Particularly for the government funding, these funds are peer reviewed. (Peer review panels) review 100 different proposals of which typically only something of the order of 10 get funded.”

Eric Neilson, vice president for medical affairs at the Feinberg School of Medicine, said the $620 million figure represents a culmination of what is predominantly grant awards that NU faculty have been awarded for projects they are

“It is given to Northwestern on behalf of the faculty,” Neilson said. “Northwestern is required to manage the grant. We have to follow many technical rules of how the money is used or not used — we have very elaborate research services.”

Strawdog Theatre Company will begin negotiations with city officials to occupy and help develop the potential Howard Street Theater, as the city searches for ways to revitalize the Howard Street area of south Evanston.

Aldermen unanimously voted Monday to allow the city to start negotiations with Strawdog to sift through the logistics of leasing the building at 717723 Howard Street. The city has been looking for theater groups to set up at the potential Howard Street Theater since May and approved spending $40,000 on the building’s design in September.

By starting negotiations, aldermen have not decided to devote any money from the 2016 proposed budget, said Ald. Ann Rainey (8th), whose ward includes the potential theater space.

“If you’re going to vote against this, can you at least wait until we have something substantial for you to vote against?” Rainey said at Monday’s City Council meeting.

The city and the chosen theater company will now discuss how to parcel out initial funding. The theater will be developed in financial partnership with Strawdog, which will be responsible for raising part of the money to fund renovations and further construction.

However, Ald. Brian Miller (9th) said he was concerned about whether Strawdog could come up with

City teenager charged in connection with shots fired near ETHS

A 16-year-old boy was charged with five felonies Thursday in connection with shots fired the previous day one block from Evanston Township High School, police said.

the money for this project.

“I’d like to see how Strawdog is going to come up with capital,” Miller said at the council meeting.

Strawdog, a non-profit organization, currently operates on an annual budget of roughly $200,000.

Rainey said although Strawdog has never raised the money it will need for the Howard Street Theater project, that is simply because it has never needed to.

Strawdog has occupied its current Chicago site, at 3829 N. Broadway St., for 28 years. However, the block the theater is located on is slated to be torn down and redeveloped in 2016.

Seth Rickard, Strawdog’s board president, said the group is putting more emphasis on special event fundraising, donations and grants. But the move is more than just a solution — it’s an improvement, Rickard said.

The Howard Street building and expanded space would allow the company to raise more funds considering the lack of space available at its current location is a major obstruction in fundraising, he said.

“While (our current location) has been great for its support of the arts, it’s been hard to increase revenue because of increased rent and maintenance costs that have put a strain on the company’s cash flow,” Rickard told The Daily.

Rainey said she hopes Strawdog’s presence on Howard Street would help improve the neighborhood’s safety and community by bringing in more people during the day and providing cultural resources.

“Talk about boots on the ground,” she said.

The individuals were arrested after exiting the home at about 5:40 p.m. Police are unaware of any victims of the shooting but recovered a loaded handgun from inside the home.

A 64-year-old man was arrested Wednesday afternoon in connection with driving under the influence when he crashed into another car.

The man struck another car that was turning in the intersection of Oakton Street and Dodge Avenue at about 3:30 p.m., said Evanston police Joseph Dugan. Police said the man’s eyes were bloodshot and his breath smelled of alcohol, Dugan said.

Police arrested the man after conducting a field sobriety test. The Chicago resident was charged with a misdemeanor for driving under the influence of alcohol and received two citations for disregarding a traffic control device and failing to reduce speed to avoid an accident, Dugan said.

The man is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 30.

A 19-year-old man was charged Wednesday with marijuana possession.

Police said they discovered the man at about 8 p.m. with three other people in an alley in the 1100 block of Florence Avenue sitting in a car that smelled of marijuana, Dugan said. Police found a small plastic bag containing marijuana in the man’s jean pocket and two glass pipes in the driver’s side door pocket, he said.

The Evanston man was charged with two city ordinances for possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. He is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 7. ­— Joanne Lee

Gwynne Shotwell (McCormick ’86, ’88) cites Queen Elizabeth as her hero and Margaret George, writer of historical fiction, as her favorite author. As the president of a company that looks to the future, sometimes it can be fun to go back in time.

Shotwell received the 2015 Alumnae Award on Thursday from the Alumnae of Northwestern University, a volunteer group that has given an annual award to an alumna who has made significant contributions to her field since 1976.

“What I love about Gwynne Shotwell is that she doesn’t wait,” University President Morton Schapiro said at the ceremony. “She was always ready for it, and she always noticed when an opportunity presented itself. And she didn’t sit around.”

Shotwell, featured on Forbes’ 100 Most Powerful Women list, is the president and COO of SpaceX, a company dedicated to rocket science technology.

“Wouldn’t it be a shame if our knowledge and what we have as a species to offer was just here, on Earth?” Shotwell said on stage.

Shotwell said in recent years, particularly with the influence of McCormick Dean Julio Ottino, NU found its way back into her life.

She spoke at the McCormick School of Engineering’s convocation in 2011 and serves on the school’s advisory council.

Shotwell worked at the Aerospace Corporation for 10 years before signing on at SpaceX in 2002, moving up to her current role in 2008. Shotwell cites NU’s environment as one of the things that has allowed her to find success at SpaceX. “One of the reasons why I came to Northwestern was because it has a great journalism school, a great theatre program and that the College of Arts and Sciences was

well-renowned,” Shotwell said. “I didn’t just want an engineering school. The most successful people, regardless of the field that they’re in, have a broad perspective on things.”

Ottino spoke about how he remembered Shotwell for taking classes in the arts.

“She’s exactly the type of engineer that we like to say came from Northwestern,” Ottino said at the ceremony. “She was the whole brain engineer, whole brain thinker, before we coined the term.”

Although she said the difficulties women

engineers can face are real, Shotwell credits her mindset of not seeing herself as different in propelling her career forward.

“It’s powerful if you think of yourself as a part of a team that’s doing great things instead of saying, ‘Oh, I’m the only girl on my team,’” Shotwell told The Daily. “As I mature in my career, you continue to see how important it is to make sure you foster relationships that help young women moving into the career field.” darbyhopper@u.northwestern.edu

Campus activism is more effective than perceived SANJANA LAKSHMI

DAILY COLUMNIST

I am watching from abroad as higher education institutions in the United States are featured in the news more and more prominently due to protests and racial tensions. At Yale University, a faculty member sent an email questioning the merits of an email from an administrator reminding students not to wear offensive costumes. On the same day, there were claims that many women were turned away from a Halloween party at one of Yale’s frats because the party was for “white girls only.” At the University of Missouri, black football players joined other students on strike to demand the president, Tim Wolfe, step down saying he was not doing enough following a series of racist incidents on their campus.

These instances are not isolated or unique, and

claims of disrespecting free speech are unfounded.

Both campuses have seen numerous continued incidences of racism, such as swastikas drawn in dorms and students calling other students racial slurs. And it is not just these two campuses that deal with racism — racism occurs all over the United States. But not every racist instance makes it to the news, and this makes it seem like the protests held by Yale and Mizzou students are only about Halloween costumes and the actions of one president. This is not the case. These protests were attempts to change the racial climates of these campuses.

Students of color on campuses across the country constantly deal with racism at both minor and major levels. Universities tend to pride themselves on being inclusive and diverse, but this is not always the reality for students. Historically, many higher education institutions and their alumni, donors and faculty in the United States are predominantly white. Because of this, it’s understandable that students of color may not feel comfortable

on campus, especially when administrators do not adequately respond to their marginalized voices and issues. Administrators do not try to tackle structural racism — they sometimes punish the racist, but they do not address the racism that continues to occur on their campuses.

This is why it is important for students to do all they can to ensure their administration hears their voices and pays attention to their needs. The protests at the University of Missouri may have worked only because the football players boycotted a game, which would have cost the university $1 million. This is leverage many athletes do not realize they have. However, it is not just athletes who can make a change — at my university in London, just two weeks ago, solidarity protests resulted in the reinstatement of an unfairly suspended trade union worker. Many divestment campaigns in universities across the United States have passed — whether or not they are merely symbolic. University students in South Africa saw their #FeesMustFall protests come to fruition — there will be

no tuition increase in 2016.

Student activism may sometimes seem like it is being done in vain, but that is far from true. Activism is a very effective way to motivate change, and it needs to be taken seriously. I hope universities will begin to learn from the issues we are seeing all over the news, and I hope more and more students actively take part in demonstrations for a safer environment. Write more articles. Have important discussions about hard topics with more people.

Go to the actions and demonstrations being put on by your peers on your campuses and in your cities — and while I can only look on from my position in London, I will stand with all of you in solidarity.

Immigration comes with hardship in longing for home NAIB MIAN

Spectrum

This essay is part of The Spectrum, a weekly forum in our Opinion section for marginalized voices to share their perspectives. To submit a piece for The Spectrum or discuss story ideas, please email spectrum@dailynorthwestern.com.

One memory has persistently occupied my thoughts for the past two months: Sitting outside a cafe in Paris, my dad quickly asked to be seated in the non-smoking area and later laughed with a hint of concern as my brother decided to try raw beef.

These small actions signaled an uneasiness that I took note of.

“You’re so afraid of going outside of your comfort zones and exploring a different culture,” I said to my dad. He laughed it off as if admitting he’d been caught.

But that one statement rushed back to me after recently reading Jhumpa Lahiri’s “Interpreter of Maladies,” a collection of short stories on the South Asian immigrant experience. As I closed the book, the final story, that of a man’s lonely first few years in America living in an elderly woman’s home, was still on my mind. Lahiri shows us his initial fears and anxieties. Fast forward several years, and he’s driving

past that old house, showing his son where he first lived upon moving to America. I thought of my dad’s own stories of moving and the time he showed me his first apartment in California. I couldn’t help but recall my presumptuous remark in stark contrast to the image of my parents leaving Pakistan for America with no family, no support system and little to no means of communication — further out of one’s comfort zone than I could ever imagine.

I’m not sure why I’ve been so preoccupied with migration and displacement lately — possibly from reading the book while abroad. Or perhaps the refugee crisis, which, combined with a rise of the extreme right-wing Front National party here in France, has brought immigration to the forefront of national discussion in a society that fears the mere discussion of race.

As much as I decry the myth of nationalism and the hateful, militarized walls it builds, it’s hard to deny a people’s connection to the land where they grew up, the land of their mothers and fathers. That bond between a people and their land is often what lends tragedy to stories of forced migration.

The added complexity of this emotional weight is essential to humanizing our discussions. There may not be an easy answer, but we must ask ourselves why one leaves his or her homeland.

Those who choose to do so, especially when they are people of color arriving in America or Europe, are often painted as opportunistic hordes, taking jobs and bringing instability. In the midst of this narrative, we forget the history of European immigration and the “Age of Discovery,” in which Europeans, curious about the world and in search of power, actually did plunder the places they went,

taking everything from jobs to culture to land, not to mention lives.

Immigrants of color aren’t afforded this privilege of curiosity. As is more often the case, immigrants today seek better lives in an effort to financially support loved ones or help their families find opportunity.

But we must also recognize the refugees risking their lives to escape horrific circumstances. They are escaping or trying to protect their families from life-threatening oppression and a tragic war. It’s dishonest to erase their stories by failing to differentiate between those who willfully move, despite circumstances, and those who are forced to move by their circumstances. Although media outlets have been irresponsible in their improperly distinguished usage of the terms “migrant” and “refugee,” using language as a tool to dehumanize, the fact that they are successful in doing so reveals how we only feel the need to sympathize with a specific subgroup of displaced peoples. It is our responsibility to use accurate vocabulary, but we also should not lose our humanity preoccupying over whether one is a refugee or a migrant to decide whether they deserve to be helped or even heard.

I could never begin to imagine the discomfort of leaving the world you know to try to make it in a world you’ve never encountered, and one in which you so often are not welcomed.

Instead, I, along with many of America’s first generation youth, face a different struggle: the psychological rift that comes with my homeland not being the land of my mother and father.

The land to which I am native is that land in which those before me were foreign. This is the

Extensions invaluable for mental health SARA HALLORAN

DAILY COLUMNIST

Lately the movement toward mental health awareness has taken hold in universities, which has led to some very encouraging changes. Every professor I’ve had here at Northwestern has included a section on their syllabus informing students that they are glad to cooperate with and assist any student with an officially-diagnosed disability.

Yet some of these same professors turn around and refuse to accept late homework or only grant extensions in extraordinary circumstances. They fail to recognize that mental illness, which can be as debilitating as any physical disability, does not always come in low-maintenance, institutionallyapproved packages. Making extensions more easily accessible and allowing late homework are the most cursory of gestures toward students with mental illnesses. Yet some professors believe these practices somehow coddle college students.

Even if they don’t carry an official psychiatrist’s note, students with mental illnesses are valid and deserve to be treated as such by their professors.

People with mental illnesses may not pursue an official diagnosis for a variety of reasons. Despite recent progress, there is still enormous stigma surrounding mental illness. Diagnosis is an official acceptance of that stigma, one that is forever on the record. This is understandably intimidating.

Others may come from socio-economic backgrounds that make seeking psychiatric help a prohibitive cost, or hail from environments where mental illness is perceived as weakness rather than a legitimate issue. Many people with mental illnesses distrust or fear therapists. Finally, some may not even realize they have a mental illness, or think their issues are too minor to be valid. They may see themselves as too “normal” to be mentally ill. This last reason is especially problematic at places like NU, where virtually everyone is an overachiever. Yet the unfortunate truth is that even students who continually achieve at a high level can suffer from mental illness, even if their high-functioning nature may hide it. In fact, the immense pressure these people put themselves under can leave them especially susceptible to conditions like depression and anxiety. A simple explanation of a mental illness or set of symptoms to a professor should, ideally, suffice as a disclosure of a condition.

To some degree, I understand professors’ reluctance to grant extensions or allow late homework.

Meeting deadlines is an important skill to develop while in school, and it can become difficult to differentiate between students with legitimate issues and those who simply seek to take advantage.

However, I can guarantee you that any student who did well enough in high school to get into NU is already well-practiced at making deadlines.

In fact, many students are so steeped in this highstress academic culture that they might perceive asking for an extension as an admission of failure.

An “extension culture” would thus help alleviate

pressure even on students without mental illnesses.

As someone with an anxiety disorder, I can tell you that my condition has a knack for striking at the most inopportune, high-stress times — in the middle of a midterm, or at 1 a.m. when I’m halfway through an essay. As hard as I may try, it can be impossible to collect myself in time to meet the deadline, or finish the test in time.

The best case involves a student, someone who may not feel comfortable telling his professor he had a panic attack last night, getting enough time to produce an essay of which he can be proud. Professors certainly aren’t obligated to give extensions regularly, or even at all.

However, accepting “I had a breakdown” or even “I’d rather not say” as an excuse for an extension or a late assignment would go a long way in making students with mental illnesses feel welcome. This isn’t “babying” students, as some old-fashioned critics will undoubtedly insist. It’s simply realizing that some students have different needs. This is not to mention that extensions and late homework acceptance can help de-stress students without mental illnesses too.

If NU is serious about helping mentally ill students, its faculty can start by being more flexible.

duality of the immigrant experience: the immigrant generation with their fears, hopes and uncertainties, worlds away from an integral part of their identity; and the following generation, whose identity is split, whose concept of homeland leads in two directions or none at all, whose sense of belonging is questioned in all corners of the world.

Modern immigration, a series of large-scale responses to the economic, political, environmental and physical violence wrought by imperialism, is the sequel to our postcolonial, and very much still colonial, history. The colonizer has come to feel colonized, and the following generation grows up facing both its historical tradition and its contemporary circumstance, beginning to question national bonds altogether.

The futures of immigrants and their families will surely be complex and riddled with questions of identity and belonging. In societies discussing the arrival of these immigrants and refugees, however, it’s our collective responsibility to combat xenophobic fear mongering by listening and attempting to understand the physical and psychological violence refugees have faced and the unimaginable uncertainty immigrants face as they enter a world unknown with nothing but memories of a land that was once home. I wouldn’t hesitate in saying they are the bravest among us.

Prof discusses realities of hypochondria at EPL

By NORA SHELLY

the daily northwestern @noracshelly

Hypochondria is an extension of anxiety that not only creates personal stress but also tension between patients and their doctors, said a Feinberg professor Thursday evening at Evanston Public Library.

Catherine Belling, a professor of medical humanities and bioethics, presented the history of hypochondria — from Hippocrates to Woody Allen — and its social implications to a group of 20 community members and students. Hypochondria is a medical disorder where people constantly fear they have a disease.

“The problem of hypochondria is that because it’s an interpretive condition, the symptom is a sign of something else — something ominous and scary that is about to happen or that is getting worse and worse,” Belling said. “If you make the symptoms of a hypochondriac go away, they get more worried because you’ve removed the fictitious clue of what is going on.”

The presentation, which was based largely on Belling’s book, “A Condition of Doubt: The Meanings of Hypochondria,” was part of a three-part series on public health presented by the library in conjunction with the Alice Kaplan Institute for the Humanities.

Belling said hypochondriacs can present difficult cases for doctors to treat, straining the relationship between doctor and patient.

“There is a tension of who knows best,” she said.

“Hypochondriasis threatens medicine’s security about what it knows.”

Belling also discussed the presence of hypochondriacs in popular culture to show how the public attitude has changed over time — from being treated as a humorous, fictitious topic to a real medical issue associated with anxiety disorders. She showed a clip from the 1964 movie “Send Me No Flowers,” in which Rock Hudson plays a hypochondriac whose doctor is brushing off his complaints of chest pain.

“The audience is supposed to laugh at him and know that he isn’t terminally ill,” Belling said.

She contrasted this with a scene from the 1986 Woody Allen movie “Hannah and her Sisters,” in which Allen’s character is convinced he has a brain tumor. In the clip, the audience sees the character

DISCUSSING FEAR Feinberg Prof. Catherine Belling speaks to about 20 people at the Evanston Public Library on Wednesday night about hypochondria.

imagining a doctor telling him he is dying of a brain tumor, before the doctor actually comes in and tells him he is clear.

“The clip where he imagines the bad news is equally real as when he hears the good news,” she said. “It is completely believable that he could have a tumor.”

Mo Ulicny, an Evanston resident, said she wanted to learn more about hypochondria because she has a relative suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and hypochondria.

“It’s interesting how it’s taken seriously and actually studied,” she said. “We tend to think of it as something that is funny, but knowing somebody that really suffers from this … it’s not funny.”

Jill Schacter, EPL’s marketing communications coordinator, said she attended the talk because she has a close family member who suffers from hypochondria. Schacter said Belling addressed aspects about the disease she has thought about for years.

“The idea of what makes a hypochondriac so upset is you can never be sure if you are in good health,” she said. “Until you can come to terms with your mortality, there will always be doubt.” norashelly2019@u.northwestern.edu

NU in Chicago will focus on indigenous people

By FATHMA RAHMAN

the daily northwestern @fathma_rahman

NU in Chicago will bring students downtown on Sunday to learn about indigenous people in Chicago through a collaboration with One Book One Northwestern and the Native American and Indigenous Students Alliance.

NU in Chicago is a committee in the Center for Civic Engagement focused on exposing students to the city in an accessible way. This free trip will allow students the opportunity to hear from the director of the American Indian Center in Chicago, eat and learn about native food, and participate in a walking ecology tour of the surrounding area led by a Northwestern postdoctoral student working with AIC, said NU in Chicago coordinator Steffi Brock-Wilson. This will be followed by a lecture from Chi-Nations Youth Council and a discussion about the use of indigenous symbols as mascots for sports team facilitated by Chi-Nations Youth Council, the Weinberg senior said.

“It should be a great glimpse into indigenous

communities of Chicago and what it means to be a Native American in a city, particularly in the city of Chicago,” Brock-Wilson said.

The AIC was started because of the relocation program the government created in the 1950s, said Cyndee Fox-Starr, AIC special events coordinator. The plan was to move natives off reservations and into urban areas and to assist them with jobs, housing and how to grow up in urban settings, Fox-Starr said.

“Natives were promised housing, employment and training for up to six months so that they could get established here in the city and then eventually move their families here — all of which ended up being totally false information,” Fox-Starr said. “The support only lasted for 30 days. People coming from reservation areas had no idea how to survive in the city. Today, the center has become like our reservation in the city, and we are the place to come to continue practicing our culture.”

The AIC represents more than 160 of the 500 tribes recognized by the U.S. government.

A large part of the AIC’s outreach mission is to enlighten others about Native American culture and history, Fox-Starr said.

“People think that we still live in teepees,” Fox-Starr said. “They look at us from what’s in their history books, which is not accurate, so we hope to bring them up to speed about what they should know about Native American culture.”

People don’t In line with this even realize that year’s One Book selection, “The Inconvethere’s still very nient Indian,” the program will convibrant tribes tinue the on-campus with a vibrant conversation about language and Native Amer ican culture through a culture more engaged form Nancy Cunniff, of learning, said One One Book project Book project coorcoordinator dinator Nancy Cunniff. November is also Native American heritage month, adding to the timeliness of the event, Cunniff said.

Cunniff also pointed out the day trip’s relevance to the theme of the “dead Indian” versus

“

the “live Indian” in Thomas King’s book.

“People don’t even realize that there’s still very vibrant tribes with a vibrant language and culture,” Cunniff said. “They live in urban settings but they still have this identity, so by going there, you’ll learn what it means to be an urban Indian.”

The Native American Outreach and Inclusion Task Force suggested last fall that a future One Book selection should relate to issues of genocide or colonialism. The task force studied ways for NU to improve its relationship with the Native American community. The University commissioned a study committee to investigate the role University founder John Evans played in the Sand Creek Massacre, in which about 150 Cheyenne and Arapaho people were killed in the Colorado territory where Evans was governor.

“This (trip) is just an entry point,” BrockWilson said. “In the past few years we have been thinking about Northwestern’s history in relation to Native Americans and I think it’s really important for us to continue that conversation and act upon it.” fathmarahman2019@u.northwestern.edu

Hewlett Packard VP talks e-commerce at Northwestern

By EMILY CHIN

daily senior staffer @emchin24

Senior Vice President at Hewlett Packard Alex Kazim thinks all businesses should ask the question, “What inefficiency are you actually trying to solve?”

Kazim presented this question to more than 20 people at The Garage on Thursday afternoon during a visit to Northwestern. Drawing on his role in e-commerce, which is the trend toward online shopping, he spoke about factors that are driving the industry. He also pointed to the necessity of a physical store.

“As much as (e-commerce) is happening, you’re still seeing online retailers opening up physical stores,” he said. “There are still people who still want to go in and try on and get that real experience.”

Kazim’s visit was part of an e@nu Speaker Series, which is put on by the Farley Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. The e@nu program had initially been a one-day conference, until the Farley Center turned it into a speaker series last year. Kazim is the second speaker e@nu has hosted this quarter.

The Farley Center chose Kazim to give his presentation because his perspective on e-commerce is relevant to the NUvention: Web + Media class that will be offered next quarter and Spring Quarter, said Caitlin Smith, associate director for the Farley Center.

Kazim’s visit was also timely given Hewlett Packard’s recent development in business. Hewlett Packard Enterprise, launched earlier this month by Hewlett Packard, aims to help business partners grow sales and reduce costs.

“Alex has an impressive career in e-commerce given everywhere he’s worked,” Smith said. “His

perspective on e-commerce is really relevant.”

Before working at Hewlett Packard, Kazim held prominent roles at eBay, PayPal and Skype. He first got into e-commerce when he managed eBay’s software engineering team.

“I’ve been fortunate enough to work with amazing brands,” he told The Daily. “With every one, you learn so much because it’s a new industry, a new model, a new culture. It keeps us interested in what’s going to happen next.”

Despite the rapid growth of e-commerce, Kazim argues that it is still in the early stages. He pointed out that only 10 percent of retail sales happen online, leaving room for startups to step in.

Kazim also noted that consumer’s desire to get goods immediately also feeds into the e-commerce business. With Amazon Prime and Amazon Prime Now, there is instant gratification at the click of a button. This is part of the reason for Amazon’s huge

increase in sales in the past 10 years, he said.

Parikshit Lad (McCormick ‘15) attended Kazim’s talk to learn about the shared economy model and the on-demand economy.

“It’s the next big thing,” he said. “There are companies who give you on-demand services. There’s a lot of action happening in this field, and there’s so much potential.”

Kazim said he hopes people walked away from the discussion with an understanding of the potential of the e-commerce.

“It’s so amazing that it’s still less than 10 percent of retail sales, and it’s going to keep growing,” he told The Daily. “You’ll always see people coming up with different models to receive (goods). It’s going to be more and more important as it becomes more and more of a larger part of retail sales.” emilychin2018@u.northwestern.edu

Austin Carr continues to grow on and off field

By STEPHANIE KELLY

daily senior staffer @StephanieKellyM

Daily file photo by Zack Laurence

RACE CARR Austin Carr sprints past a defender in Northwestern’s game against Eastern Illinois. The junior receiver and former walk-on has grown into a bigger role after receiving a scholarship before the season.

Northwestern had dug itself into a 1-point deficit. Running out of time, the Wildcats faced thirdand-15 and needed a big play to stay alive against Penn State on Saturday.

Enter junior wide receiver Austin Carr.

With two minutes to play in the fourth quarter, Carr made his first catch of the game, a 23-yarder that proved vital in the Wildcats’ 23-21 win Saturday.

“The ball was in the air for a while,” he said. “I probably could have written a midterm paper while it was up there, or gone to office hours.”

Having already beaten the defender who was on him and with a well-placed throw from senior quarterback Zack Oliver, Carr wasn’t feeling the pressure so much as the excitement, he said. While playing against Nebraska last year, Carr was set to catch a similar late-in-the-game throw and dropped it.

“For a split second while the ball was in the air, I kind of remembered that moment against Nebraska and was like, ‘I can’t let this happen again,’” he said.

Carr ended up catching the throw, falling to the ground with the ball in hand. NU won after junior kicker Jack Mitchell made a game-winning field goal on the same drive.

Off of the field, Carr uses his faith to center him during such plays. “(My faith) helps me to know that whether I make that catch or not, I’m still loved,” he said. “I still know where I’m going.”

Carr focused more on his faith after arriving at NU. With about 2,000 miles separating Carr from his hometown of Benicia, California, he wanted to prioritize it more, he said.

Since his freshman year, he has been involved in Athletes in Action, an interdenominational Christian ministry for NU athletes. Carr first joined to both grow his faith and have a support group and has continued to be involved, even traveling abroad to East Asia in the spring of 2014 with the group.

“I’m not the same person on the field as I was last year,” he said. “I’m also not the same guy off the field as a result of the community that’s there and growing in my faith.”

Having won a student-athlete talent show in 2013, Carr is known for his vocals and piano skills.

Although it’s harder to do in the fall because of

time constraints, Carr writes songs when he has the chance.

“It’s a passion that I’m definitely not going to drop,” he said. “I’m definitely going to have a keyboard wherever I live, whatever I do.”

For the 6-foot-1-inch, 195-pound Carr, this football season has already been memorable. With two touchdown catches this season, Carr continues to contribute in games. In September, the former walk-on was offered a scholarship.

“It was a blessing,” Carr said of the offer. “I’m not going to let it get to my head.”

Although not something he thought of dayto-day, being granted a scholarship was “a hope,” Carr said. When speaking with wide receiver coach Dennis Springer the day before the offer, Carr said Springer had told him to hang in there, that he was contributing well.

“The next day, the surprise came,” he said.

September also saw Carr’s first career touchdown catch for 44 yards against Eastern Illinois. He counts that as one of his favorite moments on the field.

Already, Carr has locked up more receiving yards in his 2015 season than all of last year. In 2014, he racked up 100 yards with seven receptions compared to this year’s 177 yards with eight catches.

He said that although far from perfect, he has been on the field more because of his improvement and work in the offseason.

“It’s been a journey filled with relentlessness,” he said, adding that buying into the program and listening to his coaches has helped his development.

Springer listed Carr as a player who has battled for the Cats to get wins.

“He’s worked his tail off,” he said. “When his number’s called, he’s been ready to go.”

That ethic helped Carr earn the scholarship, he said.

More generally, Springer said he has a group of fighters in his wide receivers who want to do anything they can to help the team have success.

Without Carr winning his one-on-one on Saturday, the Cats could have very well lost. Senior wide receiver Christian Jones stressed the importance of an active receiving corps such as this.

“If we’re not playing well and we’re not winning our battles … then the defense can do what they want to do,” he said.

Following two decisive, mid-season losses to Michigan and Iowa, the Northwestern football players called a team meeting. The meeting — conducted before practice without the coaches’ knowledge — was led by the team’s Leadership Council.

“We were saying, ‘let’s not push the panic button, let’s relax, let’s get back to the habits created during winter workouts and spring ball and summer,’” senior superback Dan Vitale said.

The Wildcats haven’t lost a game since.

The 2015 Leadership Council has proven to be an instrumental force for the Wildcats this season as they moved beyond those two crushing losses to win close games against Nebraska and Penn State, gaining bowl eligibility along the way.

The council — composed of a redshirt freshman, four sophomores, three juniors and six seniors — meets weekly with coach Pat Fitzgerald to voice concerns and act as a liaison between the athletes and the coaching staff.

Vitale said the council talks to Fitzgerald about everything from broken locker room showers to the week’s game plan.

“If we don’t like something in the game plan, he’ll listen to us, and we’ll totally throw it out if we feel that it’s not right for the group,” Vitale said. “It’s nice to have that relationship with your coach where he’s listening to what the leaders want on the team, so it’s been a big help.”

During the offseason, each member of the council leads a team of eight or nine players, which competes with other teams in the weight room as well as in community involvement and service.

Selection to the council is a two-part process, with each member of the team wishing to be on the council completing a written application, which is evaluated by the coaches. Then applicants are voted onto the council by members of their class.

Sophomore quarterback Matt Alviti, a two-year member of the Leadership Council, said it’s this voting

system that gives the council legitimacy and impact.

“Guys know who is on the Leadership Council because they elected us, so we have a huge voice on the team,” Alviti said. “They kind of look up to us and look to us for guidance, and we all know that if we stick together and take it to where we want to go, that everyone else is going to follow us.”

Besides leading the team in the offseason and meeting with Fitzgerald during the season, members of the Leadership Council are expected to make sure all members of the team are performing to the Cats’

standards, both on and off the field.

To do this, senior defensive lineman Deonte Gibson said members of the council must also hold themselves to high standards at all times. “(Members) have to be a model of what you would want to be as a player. I can’t say something and not do it,” Gibson said. “(Members make) sure guys are held accountable. There’s a lot that goes into preparing for a game and preparing for a practice that a lot of people don’t understand, and some guys struggle with a consistent effort to be great everyday. You have

Play of Cats’ receivers isn’t lining up Success of NU is about more than luck

By HUZAIFA PATEL

daily senior staffer @HuzaifaPatel95

Northwestern is a decent football team.

They’re bowl eligible, have beaten some good teams and boast a legitimate defense.

But they aren’t a great team.

They’ve got a very good defense. With sophomore running back Justin Jackson, redshirt freshman quarterback Clayton Thorson and a plethora of other talented running backs on the roster, they also have a solid running game. What is the biggest difference, then, between NU and conference heavyweights like Ohio State, Michigan State and Michigan?

The issue with NU is its lack of balance offensively. The Cats simply don’t have the playmakers at wide receiver to pose a consistent threat to opposing defenses.

“We’re another piece of the offense, and if every piece of the offense is working well, then the offense is going to play well,” senior wide receiver Christian Jones said. “If we’re not playing well and we’re not winning our battles … then the defense can do what they want to do. It’s like if somebody on the defense isn’t doing their job, then the offense is going to pick on him.”

The Wildcat receivers have faced one-on-ones all year and haven’t made defenses pay with regularity, plagued especially by dropped passes.

Until the Cats recruit and develop big play receiving threats, teams will continue to play the NU offense exactly like they do now, stacking the box against Jackson and blitzing Thorson to death. When the Cats run into big front sevens, they’ll see repeats of the performances against Michigan and Iowa.

The Cats entered the season with what seemed like a promising trio of senior receivers in Jones, Miles Shuler and Cameron Dickerson. But only Jones remains as a consistent producer, and even he has had his fair share of struggles coming off of an ACL injury in 2014. Jones doesn’t give himself a pass, however. “(It hasn’t gone) as good as I would like it to, honestly,” Jones said. “There was a span of games where I wasn’t playing as well as I should have. Any time you go out there, I try not to let the injuries weigh on any kind of opinion I have on my play. So, if I’m being honest with myself, not as good.”

Jones, who has struggled with drops, said with the rehab and other things he had to deal with, he took his fundamentals for granted, and they slipped as a result. Jones has worked extra with Thorson after practice in recent weeks, and Tuesday was no different.

“I try to keep the rhythm up. I wish I wasn’t doing it so late, that I was doing it every week like I should’ve been,” Jones said. “You just have to do as much as you can.”

DAILY SPORTS @BOBBYPILLOTE

Anthrop: My top three schools that I wanted to go to were Purdue, Northwestern and Notre Dame. I had a visit lined up to Northwestern and I was going to take it. But I got offered by Purdue and I committed on the spot. So I didn’t end up taking that visit. But I have a lot of respect for that staff, and it’s no surprise to me the success they’ve had and are going to have.

Three weeks ago, after Northwestern slid from 5-0 to 5-2 with a pair of very ugly losses, I wrote that the team was simply never as good as we thought. Now at 7-2 and ranked No. 18 in the College Football Playoff rankings, the Wildcats are trying in earnest to prove me wrong.

Though some have claimed this 2015 iteration of NU football is among the best ever, I can’t help but feel the team is lucky to have succeeded these past two weeks, just as it’s been seemingly lucky all season long. To see if luck really had an outsized impact, let’s look back on the Nebraska and Penn State games, decided by a grand total of 4 points.

Against the Cornhuskers, it seems like the Cats got away with one. The game came down to a failed 2-point conversion and Nebraska completely dominated time of possession, 39 minutes to 21. The deciding score for NU proved to be a pick-six.

Though the defensive touchdown has the residue of luck, keep in mind the Cats still boast the best pass defense in the country, as measured by yards per attempt allowed. And the objective of football is to score points, not just hold on to Has NU the ball. Nebraska ground its way down benefitted from some favorable the field at an inefficient 4.3 yards per bounces of the play, eating up clock ball? Almost but not putting up points. NU, on the certainly, but other hand, managed most successa handful of explosive ful teams do plays from redshirt freshman quarterback at one point or Clayton Thorson. another.

Those proved to be the difference.

A last-second escape over Penn State also screams to be explained by luck, especially considering the Cats did it with backup quarterback senior Zack Oliver playing most of the game. NU’s big breaks this time came in the form of a kickoff return touchdown by sophomore Solomon Vault and a late interception by senior cornerback Nick VanHoose.

But it’s no accident that NU’s strong defense bewildered a notoriously inconsistent quarterback in Penn State’s Christian Hackenberg for most of the game and finally came up with a turnover. And Chicago natives should know more than anyone else that there is such a thing as a skilled return man, exhibit A being longtime Bear Devin Hester.

It certainly can’t be called luck that Mr. Clutch himself, junior kicker Jack Mitchell, nailed a field goal to give the Cats the win.

So maybe NU does actually have something sustainable going on, though advanced stats continue to point in the opposite direction. Football Outsiders’ Second-Order Wins, a way to estimate win-loss total based on other metrics, pegs the Cats at a lowly 4.8 wins, while NU’s Pythagorean expectation isn’t much better at 5.3 wins. The Cats rank 47th in Football Outsiders’ S&P+ rankings, well below their No. 18 standing in the Playoff ranking.

Put together, all that information says NU isn’t very good when considered on a play-by-play or drive-by-drive basis, but we shouldn’t totally discount that the Cats still manage to win games. And looking at the season-long picture, the team hasn’t been exceptionally lucky. NU is 3-0 in games decided by a touchdown or less, which isn’t an absurd outlier in a realm where teams are typically .500. The Cats’ season turnover margin is just +3, and they haven’t plowed through a cupcake schedule like 9-0 conference rival Iowa.

Has NU benefitted from some favorable bounces of the ball? Almost certainly, but most successful teams do at one point or another. The Cats’ true standing in the college football world probably lies somewhere in between their Playoff ranking and S&P+ valuation, which is to say the team is still pretty good regardless of luck.

FUZZY RECEPTION Freshman Jelani Roberts runs behind a block thrown by senior Christian Jones. Despite contributions from players with many different skillsets, the Northwestern receiving corps as a whole has struggled this year.

Cats fans can hope that Jones, who caught his second touchdown of the season against Penn State, is back to his old self for the final four games of the season. NU will rely on him to play like a No. 1 threat outside. But where else do they go to for production, outside of senior superback Dan Vitale, who leads the team in receiving yards?

Shuler, while having a good year on special teams, has been a disappointment at wide receiver, catching only 10 passes on the season and losing snaps to freshmen Flynn Nagel and Jelani Roberts, whose route tree thus far has been limited to fly sweeps and screen passes. Dickerson is barely coming back from an injury himself and has only caught three balls on the season.

Both haven’t shown a consistent ability to get open, and as a result the offense has suffered.

Meanwhile, junior wide receiver Austin Carr has come up big on multiple occasions. While he has just eight catches on the season, Carr has made them count, converting several huge third downs for the Cats against one-on-one coverage.

With the number of big plays Carr has made outside and in the slot, he should continue to see his role

increase in the final four games of the season and going into his senior season. The X-factor down the stretch will be the play of Dickerson and Shuler. As disappointing as both have been, they are both healthy and capable. With just four games left in their NU careers, they still have a chance to turn it around and end the season on a high note.

Looking ahead to 2016, NU fans can’t help but be a little worried at the lack of veteran experience. Especially with Vitale and Jones departing, the Cats have no guarantees for production next season. The core for 2016 is looking like juniors Carr and Mike McHugh, in addition to Nagel, Roberts and any freshmen who can be added to the mix.

“We’re excited about their futures,” wide receivers coach Dennis Springer said regarding Nagel and Roberts. “Those two kids showed throughout Camp Kenosha that they can compete and help us. First part of the season with Flynn, you started to see him make some plays. … He does some things naturally at the receiving position that I really like. Jelani is a young man that’s extremely intelligent on and off the field. He’s got great quickness, great speed, and he’s getting better as well.”

As for current redshirts, wide receiver coach Dennis Springer said to look out for Cameron Green and Charlie Fessler. Jones agreed.

“They’re all hard working. Extremely hard working,” Jones said. “Even the guys that aren’t playing right now who nobody really talks about — Cam Green, Charlie Fessler, Chris Cliff — all of those guys.”

A lot rides on the development of those youngsters and Cats fans should start to get some idea of how they’re doing during spring practices.

As for now, it’s hard to argue against the Cats having the worst receiving corps in the Big Ten, yet they find themselves in contention for a New Year’s Six bowl. With how the young talent on defense and in the run game has played this season, the Cats might be one or two pieces away from truly competing with the big boys. Until then, they’ll be decent at best. huzaifapatel2017@u.northwestern.edu

Q&A: Purdue receiver Danny Anthrop

By ALEX PUTTERMAN

daily senior staffer @AlexPutterman

At Big Ten Media Days in late July, before the season began, The Daily asked various players around the conference their thoughts on their own teams and the Northwestern program.

With the Wildcats set to host Purdue on Saturday, here’s what Boilermakers receiver Danny Anthrop, who currently ranks eighth in the Big Ten in catches, had to say.

The Daily: As an offense, what do you think are your guys’ strengths?

Anthrop: Our passing game is as strong as it’s been since I’ve been at Purdue. That credit goes to the quarterback, to the offensive line

— they’re impressive, they’ve grown a lot, they’ve experienced a lot. And those guys are guys who play every game, play every snap; they don’t get rotated in at all.

The Daily: You didn’t play last year against Northwestern (due to a knee injury), but what were your perceptions of that game and of Northwestern, from the sideline?

Anthrop: I felt really bad about the quarterback (Trevor Siemian) when he got hurt.

That was devastating. I saw on draft day when he got drafted to the Broncos, and I thought that was crazy because he didn’t even get a pro day, combine or anything. It’s awesome to see Siemian out there getting that opportunity.

Northwestern, they’re under really good leadership with coach (Pat) Fitzgerald. I remember when he recruited me and coach (Dennis) Springer, the wide receivers coach

— I really liked that staff. They’re heading in the right direction, and they show that every Saturday. I know they had some adversity with injuries, but they can hang with the best of them.

The Daily: You mentioned Northwestern recruited you. What was that process like, and what did your ultimate decision come down to?

From page 1 information to suggest the other students he spoke with were directly involved in the honor code proceedings for the alleged incident.

Arnav Dey, a second-year MBA student, said in his experience Poets and Quants is generally followed more by prospective business school students, saying that although he doesn’t read the site often now, he followed it closely when researching business schools.

“It’s a great source of actually finding out about business schools,” Dey said. “Poets and Quants does a good job of aggregating and presenting (school ratings) in one place.”

Dey said one part of the discussion among Kellogg students revolved around the fact the alleged cheating occurred in Kellogg’s Master of Science in Management Studies program, which is designed for recent college graduates, rather than in Kellogg’s MBA programs.

“I have never heard of (violations) before, and especially in a written exam, it is very rare to see,” he said. “(If it happened) it would have been discussed whether it was Poets and Quants or somebody else because of the nature of the content.”

incident.

A gun-related homicide in September — the most recent in Evanston this year — also occurred about one block from ETHS. Eddington told meeting attendees that crime analysts have not identified any potential patterns in the area that should be a cause for alarm.

“This is not an isolated incident, but it is focused,” Eddington said. “The event is a continuation of a conflict between two gangs that frequent the West Side of Evanston. We received statements from two gentlemen in custody that alluded to it being an ongoing issue.”

The issue should be characterized as gang violence rather than a turf war because the conflicts are mainly rooted in interpersonal slights, Eddington said. He said he characterizes the conflicts as being a part of personal insults within groups that escalate to violence when other forms of conflict resolution are ignored.

Ald. Peter Braithwaite (2nd) said although the community is trying to decrease gun violence, resources must be allocated to programs that address issues such as poverty or joblessness that could drive somebody to violence.

“I’m a firm believer that even one murder is too many,” Braithwaite said. “We have a 24-hour gun buyback program and we have devoted a tremendous amount of resources to the West Side of Evanston to

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2015 body and the Kellogg administration. As part of his role, Stewart said he surveys and speaks with students frequently.

Stewart said he feels the general student sentiment is that having an honor code is important and something students take seriously. Students who join the Kellogg community are looking to profit from the school’s brand, he said, and they believe acting ethically is not only important to preserve that brand but also part of good business practices.

Compared to the undergraduate experience, the MBA experience focuses heavily on collaboration, especially at Kellogg, Stewart said. In this sense, he said the honor code lays out how to treat classwork and other individuals in the program. Having an honor code enables students to learn from one another and practice the group work that is vital to understanding how to function in a business in the real world, he said.

“It’s something we’ve sort of built a culture around,” Stewart said. “You hear anecdotally that cheating is rampant at top schools, and I just don’t see that at Kellogg.”

However, the existence of an honor code may not correlate with the amount of cheating at a school, said Teddi Fishman, the director of the International Center for Academic Integrity, an organization headquartered at Clemson University in South Carolina that seeks to cultivate cultures of integrity in academic institutions.

She said the International Center for Academic Integrity’s founder, Donald McCabe, initially hypothesized that schools with honor codes would experience lower rates of cheating. Instead, she said McCabe found that rates of cheating varied at schools despite keep us safe.”

One long-term initiative for reducing community violence is the Youth and Youth Adult Division, which aims to give Evanston youth marketable skills they can utilize to be active members of the community. City manager Wally Bobkiewicz said because this division’s progress is critical to anti-violence efforts, it was granted immunity in discussions surrounding the 2016 budget, which is vulnerable to major state cuts.

“We’ve added mostly nothing to this budget, but we added resources to this program,” Bobkiewicz said.

Ald. Donald Wilson (4th) said a potential obstacle to community safety measures is the legal web involved with protecting landlords and their tenants. Regarding the arrests at the Lake Street home on Wednesday, Wilson said landlords should take more responsibility in removing problematic tenants. However, it is often difficult to prove tenant misconduct, he said.

Braithwaite agreed with Wilson that aldermen should discuss ways to hold landlords more responsible for their tenants’ actions.

“The reality is that people causing most of this violence don’t live in North Evanston, they don’t live on the lakefront — they live where many of us live,” Braithwaite said. “We are talking about less than 50 kids that have the mentality that they are willing to take a life, and we know where they live and we know where the landlords are that allow this.” elenasucharetza2018@u.northwestern.edu

the presence of an honor code, with some honor code schools experiencing rates of cheating greater than those without codes.

Kellogg also has an honor code committee chaired by students, which works with the administration in adjudicating honor code violations. Fishman said one of the key factors determining whether students respect an honor code is whether they have a hand in the process. However, with both peer-led components and components led by the administration, FERPA requires that these proceedings stay confidential, Stewart said.

For Fishman, confidentiality doesn’t have to mean secrecy. Although protecting the privacy of students is important, it is also important to communicate to the academic community that ethical violations are being noticed and addressed, she said. By publishing anonymized statistics on honor code violations and penalties in a paper or quarterly report, a school can communicate that the honor code matters, she said.

Kellogg tasks its Student Affairs advisers with compiling and releasing an annual report on honor code violations in the fall.

“Nothing says something matters like action,” Fishman said. “You can say something is important all you want, but if nobody does anything about it, then it doesn’t really matter.”

Most importantly, Fishman said, honor codes should encourage students to learn from their mistakes rather than sanction students excessively. When the measures in response to an honor code violation are too harsh, students — and even faculty — won’t report

set up laboratories,” Civetta said. “Then, there is a responsibility to get external funding.”

Although funding for the University collectively totals $620 million, about $400 million is concentrated at Feinberg because most of the research that takes place at NU engages what Neilson calls “broad areas of interest” in the medical school. None of this funding goes to undergraduate research grants.

“We have some very big grants in the area of cardiovascular disease, neuroscience, cancer, preventive medicine, epidemiology,” Neilson said. “There are a large number of grants to understand healthcare, so we try to have a large variety (of research projects).”

The funding comes from federal agencies and other foundations, including the National Institutes of Health, whose contributions, Walsh said, made up approximately 50 percent of the total funding pool.

Since the funding is predominantly in the form of grants, which require faculty members to compete against other research projects from similar disciplines, Neilson said NU, as a research university, has been “paying more attention to recruiting exceptional faculty in research.”

Neilson said creating an educational environment in which the importance of research is stressed promotes a positive and different learning space for students.

Drew Gerber/The Daily Northwestern

HONOR CODE The Kellogg School of Management maintains an honor code system to ensure the ethical behavior of its students.

Allegations of cheating at Kellogg made news last week after business school blog Poets and Quants posted a story citing anonymous students who claimed to have witnessed the incident.

on violations for fear of ruining a student’s academic career for a mistake, she said.

“We want a system that recognizes those things are going to happen and that it isn’t the end of the world,” Fishman said. drewgerber2018@u.northwestern.edu “Research makes the university more interesting to its students,” he said. “It creates an environment of curiosity, commitment to large ideas.”

Walsh agreed, noting the two-fold mission with which the University approaches its faculty hires.

“We hire faculty who are very interested in doing two things: teach in classrooms and discover new knowledge,” Walsh said. “We bring in excellent talent and that is the key in seeing the increase in funding we have.”

As a result, NU is seeking to expand, both in terms of funding and physical space.

“We think (Feinberg’s) research enterprise should be up to $620 million a year and the whole university should be $1 billion,” said Neilson. “By making sure we have good resources in place, we can recruit new faculty who are accomplished … and (we) have been fortunate in recent years to attract faculty who are quite attractive.”

With this in mind, NU has begun construction on the Louis A. Simpson and Kimberly K. Querrey Biomedical Research Center on the school’s Chicago campus, among other projects, to create more space for more faculty members.

“We’ve run out of space to expand our faculty,” Neilson said. “We need to think about the other kinds of activities … that will allow us to make additional contributions to this important activity.” margaretcorn2019@u.northwestern.edu

Wildcats Welcome Wisconsin

Men’s Swimming

Schroeder looking for leader to emerge on young Northwestern team

By KARA STEVICK

the daily northwestern @kara_stevick

As it prepares for its last dual meet of the quarter against Wisconsin on Saturday, Northwestern could be lacking the overall leadership needed to remain successful as the year progresses.

While the Wildcats feature strong leadership on the pool deck and at practice, coach Jarod Schroeder said the team needs an individual willing to step beyond his comfort zone and try to inspire others.

As his younger teammates continue to adjust to their environment, junior captain Stephen Shull agrees with that sentiment, especially with the absence of senior Jordan Wilimovsky. Wilimovsky is gearing up for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games.

Wisconsin vs. Northwestern Evanston, Illinois 10:30 a.m. Saturday

“(It) creates opportunities for other people to step up and take on that role,” Shull said.

It’s a role that the Cats desperately need to fill after a weekend of tough results. NU fell 231.5-112.5 to Kentucky, 233-105 to Missouri and 178-167 to Southern Illinois last weekend.

Though none of his athletes had disappointing swims, Schroeder said most of the members of the team are complacent with their level of performance and have yet to deliver anything “unexpected.”

“If we’re going to get out of the funk we’re in right now that’s got to happen,” Schroeder said. “If

it doesn’t happen, then we’re going to be a really mediocre team in a very fast conference and it’s going to be an ugly season.”

As this four-week training cycle comes to its conclusion, the team has been successful in working on developing aggressive front end speed within a practice setting, a skill that Schroeder believes must become second nature for the squad as they hope to move past this “funk.”

Some progression was made this past weekend, as several freshmen achieved personal-best times, but Schroeder said the Cats still need to deliver more as they approach the end of the year. This need for the emergence of a real team leader is crucial as NU prepares to take on Wisconsin on Saturday. Sophomore Jonathan Blansfield said the team is ready to meet their coach’s challenge against a strong Badgers team.

“Jarod always says the goal of each week is to get

better,” Blansfield said. “So we’re trying each week to get better, and we want to be better at Wisconsin than we were last weekend.”

After sweeping the Wildcats last season and already beating Minnesota this year, Schroeder said Wisconsin has proven to be a fast team with few weaknesses. As such, he said the Cats need to see how they stack up against their competition during their first home meet of their season and to relish in the opportunity to race against such challenging opponents.

“There’s still a learning curve,” Schroeder said.

“I’ve got … 20 guys in the pool with 20 different swimming backgrounds, and so they’ve got to come together and train in a different way: my way or coach Sheaff’s way.” karastevick2019@u.northwestern.edu

Wildcats face talented Badgers with one eye turned toward Big Tens

By TUCKER JOHNSON

the daily northwestern @kentuckyjohnson

Northwestern will have its first home meet of the season when it goes against Wisconsin on Saturday at Norris Aquatics Center.

The undefeated Wildcats opened their Big Ten season two weeks ago with a convincing victory on the road against Illinois, 173-127. They are hoping to maintain their momentum against the Badgers, who are ranked ninth nationally in the most recent coaches poll.

Saturday will be Wisconsin’s second meet in two days. Before taking on NU, Wisconsin is traveling to Bloomington, Indiana to face off with the Hoosiers. The competition with Indiana will be the Badgers’ first since they stole a win from Minnesota, last year’s Big Ten champions, with a final score of

No. 9 Wisconsin vs. Northwestern Evanston, Illinois 10:30 a.m. Saturday

152-148 on Oct. 16.

Despite the intimidating opposition, the meet between NU and Wisconsin still promises to be very competitive. Co-captains Julianne Kurke and Ellen Stello said the Badgers are a quality opponent and it will not be easy for the Cats to get the win. In last year’s meeting, then-No. 19 Wisconsin defeated NU 166.5-122.5, winning 10 of 16 events.

“They’re a really tough team, so it will be a challenge, but an exciting challenge,” Kurke said.

Although NU has to compete on Saturday, it is training for the long term, so the day before the meet will still be an intense practice. Coach Abby Steketee said the team will train through this

week’s meet and still has its normal double practices planned for Friday, lifting weights in the morning and swimming later in the day.

When asked about her thoughts on the meet in the near future, Steketee emphasized the need for individual swimmers to improve against themselves.

“Success is about being the best we can be, no matter what the odds are,” she said.

Unlike other sports that require regular-season success to qualify for a playoff, swimming relies solely on performance at the Big Ten Championships to determine who competes at the NCAA Championships. Every workout, Steketee said, is designed to help the athletes peak for the February conference championships.

In the meantime, Steketee said she is hoping to see swimmers drop times and make small improvements from the meet against Illinois two weeks ago.

“Maybe it’s just a 10th (of a second) here, a 10th

(of a second) there, but if we make the technical changes, we should be a little faster,” she said.

Last year, NU’s Annika Winsnes showed how this preparation strategy could be effective.

When the Cats took on Wisconsin last year, two All-American Badgers swam under 1:50 in the 200-yard freestyle, with Winsnes close behind in a then-career best 1:50.55. Since that meet, Winsnes has dropped her time even further, swimming an NCAA B qualifying time of 1:46.53 late last season.

Other key swimmers have seen similar improvements since last year’s meet with Wisconsin. Stello said the team was looking forward to using the meet with their rivals as a measuring stick for the season ahead.

“They’re definitely going to give us a good challenge,” Stello added, “but there are places where we’ll be surprisingly strong.”

said not only does the team want to win these games, but also they want to win big.

Four Cats scored in double figures in an 80-64 exhibition win over Quincy last Thursday, but Collins said he wasn’t pleased with his team’s effort on the defensive end.

“We had some real breakdowns,” Collins said. “(Quincy) punished us for it, which was good. We were exposed a little bit, so we’ve been working a lot this week to clean that up and get our defense back on track.”

Collins said nonconference games are big

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2015 because after so much practicing and scrimmaging, the team needs to get out and execute in game situations. He added that the nonconference schedule will serve as a test for the team to figure out its rotation and learn how to manage the group.

That rotation will look a little different than expected this season with the loss of sophomore forward Vic Law. It was announced on Wednesday that Law will undergo surgery on a torn labrum in his left shoulder and miss the entire season.

Law will still have three years of eligibility remaining when he returns and was focused on the positives of this situation.

“This is a year that I can get better, get fully healthy and be the biggest cheerleader on the sideline for the rest of my teammates,” Law said.

Many forecasted Law to be an important player for the Cats this year, but Demps said he believes the loss won’t derail a potentially promising season.

“It definitely hurts, but I think at the same time we can rally around each other and still make something special out of this year,” Demps said.

Though her team fell to Iowa at Big Tens, Haynes said she would like her runners to be closer to or better than Iowa at Regionals, which would indicate a solid performance and improvement in racing as a team. Of 35 teams on the women’s side, Haynes said her program has competed against about 15 to 18 of those teams and would like to stay competitive on this course, which the Cats have never competed on but know is tough and hilly toward the end. ellenfriedmann2.2016@u.northwestern.edu

Careful to avoid injury among her athletes during those two weeks, Haynes said her runners have been carefully training, mentally and physically, to achieve their goal of finishing in the top half at Regionals.

an eight-game losing streak. But the Bison added new coach Ty Grace during the offseason, who coached New Haven to a record of 44-16, over the past two seasons.

NU coach Joe McKeown said Grace brings a new dimension to Howard, but the team will be ready to play on Sunday.

“They (Howard) got a new coach that just came in this summer, so we are starting to look I want to at some of the things she did at her previous make sure that position at her previous we are taking school,” McKeown said.

“They’re going to be talcare of the ented. It’s a tough way to basketball — that start the season, but it is we are sharp exciting to get going.”

The Cats finished with our passes. their offseason with a Joe McKeown , Nov. 8 exhibition against coach Seton Hill, whom NU routed 103-44. Coffey led all scorers with 29 points, but Deary’s defense stole the show — recording 10 steals in only 16 minutes.

Deary said playing stingy defense is an emphasis for the team, as well as winning the rebounding battles. The Cats outrebounded Seton Hill, 59-41, but Deary still wants to see the team improve on its rebounding numbers.

“We want to dominate the boards,” Deary said.

“That’s a focus for us, and having good defense and keeping a lower scoring margin.”

McKeown said the team has battled obstacles over the offseason, and the team isn’t where it was at this point last year. He said the Cats have had to deal with injuries, as well as incorporating four new players into the system.

The losses of center Alex Cohen and guard Karly Roser to graduation means McKeown is still trying to figure out a rotation. But the coach said he is looking forward to Sunday and seeing how his team rebounds from a tough tournament loss.

“I want to make sure that we are taking care of the basketball — that we are sharp with our passes,” McKeown said. “You know just making defensive stops when we have to. We’re not where we were last year at this point, but I feel like we are catching up.”

Regionals up next for Northwestern The Wildcats are traveling to the University of Kansas-Lawrence for the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships on Friday, but several key runners on the squad will not be competing.

Coach ‘A Havahla Haynes said she is resting her freshman athletes and several top runners, including junior Jena Pianin and senior Camille Blackman, who cannot compete because of injuries.

Haynes has chosen to rest freshmen Hannah Anderson and Mary Orders, who both placed in the top seven on NU’s roster at the Big Ten Championships, and will race seniors Renee Wellman and Megan O’Brien, who didn’t make the cut for Big Tens but are accustomed to the length of the college season.

“On the back side of our program, we’ve been fairly interchangeable,” Haynes said. “Right now, the season gets really long for what we consider our freshman athletes. We’re thinking long term for them, so we want to hold them out and keep them from getting fatigued or injured.”

Senior Rachel Weathered, who finished last for the Cats at Big Tens because of difficulties with her asthma during the race, will be competing again Friday. Haynes said she is fully recovered and ready to race well.

The Cats have had two weeks off from racing

Storniolo, Cats prepare for Michigan State Open

By ALEX LEDERMAN

daily senior staffer

Matt Storniolo sat at a desk that didn’t belong to him three weeks ago.

“Obviously with the changes came additional responsibility and additional work,” he said. “One of the biggest problems for me has just been finding time to eat and sleep.”

Storniolo, interim coach of Northwestern’s wrestling team, succeeded his former boss Drew Pariano after his abrupt departure from NU on Oct. 26.

Now he leads the Wildcats in his first tournament as head coach this weekend in the Michigan State Open.

“This weekend is a litmus test for us,” Storniolo said. “It’s our measuring stick to see where we are as a program and how we measure up against other programs around the country.”

Coming less than three weeks after Pariano’s exit, the Michigan State Open marks the Cats’ first test under new leadership. But Storniolo doesn’t expect the sudden coaching change to factor into NU’s season. The team and individual goals remain the same, and the expectations remain high — with or without Pariano.

“Really this has given us an opportunity to show that we’re a close-knit group here,” Storniolo said. “It’s given us the chance to come together a little bit more.”

The ambition starts with two-time All-American and former NCAA Champion Jason Tsirtsis.

Storniolo said anything short of a national title for 149-pound Tsirtsis is a disappointment.

But last year’s remaining key wrestlers — Mike McMullan at heavyweight, Pierce Harger at 165 and Alex Polizzi at 197 — are notably absent from the roster. After illustrious careers at NU, the trio walked at graduation last year with degrees in hand.

In the absence of last season’s stalwarts, Storniolo said he expects returning seniors Jameson Oster, Dominick Malone and Garrison White — at 141, 133 and 125, respectively — to reach

new heights.

And, most notably, the redshirt freshman class finally enters the starting lineup.

Two years ago, Pariano signed the top recruiting class in the nation, according to WIN Magazine, including three-time state champions Bryce Brill and Johnny Sebastian.

Brill and Sebastian slide in as starters at 157 and 165 pounds, along with fellow redshirt freshmen Regis Durbin at 184 and Conan Jennings at heavyweight.

The talent speaks for itself, but Storniolo said he isn’t worried about the lack of experience.

“These guys might be new to college wrestling,” Storniolo said, “but all of these guys have wrestled in some big-time competitions and big matches in the past. They expect a lot out of themselves, and their goals aren’t any different from any of the seniors’.”

Yet the freshmen begin their careers without the coach they initially committed to join. Still, Storniolo said the program will persevere.

“Obviously losing any member of our coaching staff or team is a bump in the road and is something that nobody would like to see happen,” he said. “But Northwestern wrestling is bigger than one person, and Northwestern University is bigger than one individual.”

Storniolo plans to mirror Pariano’s work ethic and remain a hands-on coach in practice versus just being an administrator, but there are ways he differs from his predecessor.

“I’d say I’m probably a little bit more of what would be described as a player’s coach,” he said.

“I think a lot of that comes from that I’m closer to age with the guys on the team than Drew was.”

Storniolo’s ultimate goal as coach is to improve his team’s cohesiveness.

“Wrestling is an individualized sport,” he said, “but that doesn’t mean that we can’t operate in a family-like atmosphere. That’s something that we’ve been trying to build here in the past and we’re trying to continue to try to build here moving forward.” alexanderlederman2017@u.northwestern.edu

Cats set for opening round of NCAA Tournament

By CHARLOTTE VAZIRI

the daily northwestern

Northwestern will open up its run in the NCAA Tournament on Saturday with a first round game on the road against Washington State.

“Everyone starts with a clean slate in the tournament. I feel good mentally and physically. They’re hungry and are very strong in their belief,” coach Michael Moynihan said. “We just have to focus getting the job done in Washington. I look forward to it, we will do well.”

The game marks the first time these teams have ever competed against each other. Although the teams are not familiar with each other, Washington State (14-5-0, 7-4-0 Pac-12) is very familiar with the tournament.

This is the Cougars’ seventh NCAA Championship in the last eight years, and their fifth consecutive bid. Meanwhile, the Wildcats (13-5-2, 7-3-1 Big Ten) will try to take advantage of beginner’s luck — they haven’t been in the tournament since 1998.

Even though NU has only had three NCAA appearances, it should not be taken lightly. This season has been historic.

This year’s team earned the program’s most Big Ten wins since 1998 (7), and cracked the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) poll after a 17-year drought.

“I have the ’98 team always in the

back of my mind,” senior midfielder Niki Sebo said. “That team inspires us and what we believe we can do. We all have a belief we can take it further than the first round.”

Heading the defensive corps that is responsible for a program record of 11 shutouts is sophomore goalkeeper Lauren Clem, who ranks 10th in the nation in goals-against average.

Pacing the offense is the dynamic duo of Sebo and junior forward Addie Steiner. In four of the last six games, either Steiner or Sebo tallied points.

Steiner is sixth in points in the conference, leading her team in goals and assists, and was named All-Big Ten Second Team. Alongside the potent threat of Steiner, the Cougars will have to shut down Sebo who is right on Steiner’s heels with five goals and two assists.

But Washington State has been having a historic season as well. It finished third in the Pac-12 in a season where it tied the program record of 14 wins.

It also has a 34-game winning streak when leading at halftime, which is also a program record.

Looking to derail Clem will be forward Kaitlyn Johnson whose seven goals lead her team and are the second most in the Pac-12. NU’s defense that was plagued by injury

Evanston, Illinois 6 p.m. Sunday

Fresh off of the team’s first NCAA women’s basketball tournament appearance since 1997, the Wildcats will look to pick up where they left off when their season begins Sunday.

Coming off of a 23-win season — the first 20-win season since 1995-1996 — Northwestern opens its campaign against Howard. NU returns three of its starters from last year’s tournament game: senior guard Maggie Lyon, junior forward and preseason All Big-Ten team honoree Nia Coffey and junior guard Ashley Deary.

The Cats seek redemption after their narrow 57-55 loss to Arkansas in the tournament, and Lyon said the team is out to prove itself.

“We just have a bitter taste from that Arkansas game,” Lyon said. “We just want to come out and prove that we can do so much more than we did last year.”

Last season, Howard (4-27, 3-13 MEAC) went 0-16 when playing on the road and opened the season on

This season, when the Cats go head-to-head against better ranked teams, their outcomes varied. They beat No. 4 Rutgers, but lost to No. 24 Santa Clara and No. 2 Penn State. The only common opponent NU and the Cougars share is Colorado. Washington beat Colorado 3-0, and the Cats won 1-0.

The furthest NU has reached in

Northwestern’s 2015-2016 season will officially begin Friday night when the Wildcats take on Massachusetts Lowell at Welsh-Ryan Arena.

Chris Collins, entering his third season as NU’s coach, has won the opener in each of his first two campaigns but said he always gets some jitters before the first game.

“You come into a first game, everybody’s a little bit nervous,” Collins said. “Coaches, players — because you want to get off to a great start, you want to play well.”

In last year’s season opener, NU (15-17, 6-12 Big Ten) allowed Houston Baptist University to take a 12-2 lead before calming its nerves and pulling out a 7-point victory. Collins said he hopes that’s not the case this year.

Collins explained that a fast start could come from forcing some early turnovers and getting quick fast break points, and some easy buckets could relax the team and “let the air out of the balloon.”

This season’s first opponent, the River Hawks of UMass Lowell (12-17,

UMass Lowell vs. Northwestern Evanston, Illinois 7 p.m. Friday

6-10 America East), are a program in the third year of a transition from NCAA Division II to Division I. The River Hawks are an extremely young team with sophomore forward Jahad Thomas leading a roster in which eight of 13 players are freshmen.

UMass Lowell is the first of many low-pedigree opponents NU will face in its nonconference slate. Sophomore guard Scottie Lindsey said he thinks the Cats can do a much better job in that portion of the schedule than last year, when they finished 9-4 heading into Big Ten competition.

“We want to come out with double-digit wins this time around,” Lindsey said. “We’ve got big games, playing North Carolina (in the CBE Hall of Fame Classic), but we definitely want to take care of the other teams that we have before that.”

Senior guard Tre Demps agreed that merely winning games against weaker opponents is not enough. He » See MEN’S BBALL, page 14
