CHICAGO — Republican Bruce Rauner was named the winner Tuesday night in a highly contested race, defeating Gov. Pat Quinn to become the next Illinois governor. Multiple news outlets called
the election in Rauner’s favor at about 10:30 p.m. With more than 99 percent of precincts reporting, Rauner beat the incumbent governor, securing more than 50 percent of the gubernatorial votes. Rauner took the stage at the Hilton Chicago’s ballroom a little after 11 p.m. as the crowd chanted his name. Standing in front of an American flag backdrop and a group of supporters
waving Rauner campaign signs, the governor-elect thanked the audience for voting for him and believing in him. Rauner is the first Republican Illinois governor in 12 years. “This is a victory for every family in Illinois. Are you ready for a new direction?” Rauner said. “This election is about bringing » See rauner, page 7
Democratic incumbents sweep local elections, referenda pass By Stephanie kelly and Ally mutnick The daily northwestern @StephanieKellyM, @allymutnick
Democrats representing Evanston won a slew of races in the midterms, claiming victory in Congressional and state re-elections. U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Evanston) won by a large margin against her opponent Susanne Atanus, a Republican challenger who lives in Niles, Illinois. Incumbent State Rep. Laura Fine (D-Glenview) beat Republican opponent Kathy
Myalls in the race for Illinois’ 17th district, which includes Evanston. All five referenda on the Illinois ballot passed Tuesday, one of which will implement a nonbinding advisory that recommends Illinois raise the minimum wage from $8.25 to $10 by 2015. State Sen. Daniel Biss (D-Evanston) and State Rep. Robyn Gabel (D-Evanston) both ran unopposed and made appearances at a Democrat victory party in Evanston on Tuesday to celebrate their re-elections. Members of the Democratic Party of Evanston organized the event, held at Temperance Beer Company, 2000 Dempster St.,
said Alex Armour, the political director for Schakowsky. The party supported all Democrats on the ballot, he said. The event drew campaign leaders, politicians and residents from Evanston and Cook County. Schakowsky will continue to implement and improve on Obamacare, Armour said. She will keep working to combat income inequality and hopes the minimum wage raise will pass in Illinois, he said. “She’s one of the leading lights in the system,” Biss said. “I wake up every morning saying to myself, ‘Thank God I’m represented by someone like Jan Schakowsky in Congress.’”
Gabel said in a speech at the event she was impressed by the Evanston voter turnout rate, including Northwestern students. Gabel also commended NU students for how they organized themselves to vote. “(The high turnout rate) showed that there’s a lot of interest in being able to vote on Election Day,” she said. “It was really exciting and heartening to see … I think we can wake up tomorrow and say we have done everything that we could do and feel really good about ourselves.” Viewers filled the brewery at the event. » See MIDTERMS, page 7
Art center finalizes purchase of new city location By BEN SCHAEFER
the daily northwestern @BSchaefer27
Following three years of searching and planning, the Evanston Art Center closed a deal Monday on the purchase of a new location. The art center bought the building on 1717 Central St. for $2 million, said Johanna Nyden, Evanston economic development division manager, in an email to The Daily.
“It’s good news for Central Street and good news for the Evanston Art Center,” Ald. Jane Grover (7th) said. “It’s a new era for the Evanston Art Center, and it’s great that they can move into a commercial space.” The funds for the purchase came from a $1.5 million bank loan and a $500,000 private donation. In total, more than $1.5 million has been raised for the project, executive director Norah Diedrich said. The art center began vetting new potential locations after the city
Serving the University and Evanston since 1881
voted in February 2014 to terminate the center’s lease at its current location in the Harley Clarke Mansion. The new center will continue to host visual arts programming including classes, exhibitions, public programs and public outreach. The new location will allow for the addition of programs in music, film and design, as well as culinary and language arts. The increased space will also provide room for a digital fabrication lab, an artist-in-residence studio and
a coffee shop. The fundraising campaign, called See the Bigger Picture, is seeking to raise $2.5 million to renovate the new property. A portion of the effort took place on crowdfunding site Indiegogo where fundraising organizers sought to raise $150,000. By the Sunday deadline, the site had raised $6,385. “The Indiegogo campaign is one very small initiative,” Diedrich said. “Whatever we made there is sort of
a moot point.” The art center will leave the Harley Clarke Mansion at the end of January 2015. Directors for the art center hope to move in to their new location in April, Diedrich said. Diedrich and director of development and communications Paula Danoff will give updates about the project’s progress later this month. benjaminschaefer2017@u.northwestern.edu

Around Town B&B opens at city lakefront mansion By TORI LATHAM
the daily northwestern @latham_tori
A new bed-and-breakfast held its grand opening ceremony Thursday with Evanston residents in attendance.

The B&B is open to the to 500 people public. showed up, “Stone Porch by the Lake is sure to and we’ve become a beloved received such destination for visioverwhelming tors of Northwestern University as well support. as those looking to Carrie King, explore the worldco-owner cl ass e nte r t ai n ment and shopping options to be found in abundance both in Evanston and nearby downtown Chicago,” the owners said in a news release.

Police Blottter 9 arrested in connection with criminal trespassing Police arrested two 18-year-olds and seven juveniles Thursday night in connection with the criminal trespassing of a residence, officials said. Officers responded to a call that several people were inside a vacant residence in the 1800 block of Church Street that they did not have permission to enter, Evanston police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said. Police located multiple people on the premise,
the inn and invited Evanston residents Jim and Carrie King to become co-owners. All three were present at the ceremony, along with Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl and Evanston locals. “It was a huge success,” Carrie King said. “Around 400 to 500 people showed up, and we’ve received such overwhelming support.” Pritzker was previously seeking to open a boutique hotel at the Harley Clarke Mansion, 2603 Sheridan Road, but her proposal was denied by the city in 2013. “I believe she was looking into Stone Porch concurrently or prior to the Harley Clarke deal,” said Mark Muenzer, the city’s director of community development. “It’s my understanding that she was going to pursue the bedand-breakfast regardless of Harley Clarke.” King said Stone Porch is aiming to add to the city’s architectural integrity through its renovation of the property. “I am honored and privileged to be part of this magnificent restoration,” she said. “There are such incredible older homes in the area, and we are making it so that everyone can experience them.” Stone Porch is the first legal B&B in Evanston, according to King. She said she found it unbelievable that one had never existed in
the city before. “The location is just perfect,” King said. “We’ve gotten great feedback, not just from residents but also from parents and alumni. For them, it’s an alternate lodging choice to the big hotels, and it’s a magnificent property.” King said she was also excited for Stone Porch to add to the city’s revenue by sending its guests to local restaurants and shops. Muenzer reinforced King’s support of Evanston and said the inn would bring additional visitors into the city. “It is a great mix of historical preservation and economic development,” Muenzer said. “It’s such a unique place to stay and will create a ripple effect into Evanston.” The owners of Stone Porch are planning to open a sister bed-and-breakfast called Stone Terrace two doors down, King said. The property is currently under full restoration, and King said she hopes it will lead even more guests to appreciate the city’s buildings. “As Jennifer said, ‘It’s not about freezing something in time,’” King said. “‘It’s about finding things from the past that are still relevant and being able to adapt them to the present so you can move them into the future.’”
Parrott said. They were arrested at about 8:30 p.m., he said. There was indication that forced entry was made, but officers were unsure if the damage was from Thursday’s incident or a previous break-in, police said.

intoxication, police said. Police were called to the Evanston Ecology Center, 2024 North McCormick Blvd., and found the 50-year-old man very intoxicated, Parrott said. The man was being uncooperative with police as they tried to set up for a later event, Parrott said. The city’s Zombie Scramble event took place at the Ecology Center on Saturday night. Officers arrested the Skokie resident at about 5:45 p.m. and charged him with public intoxication, police said. The offense will not result in any jail time, Parrott said.

President’s adviser discusses Ebola misconceptions By AMULYA YALAMANCHILI
the daily northwestern @amulyayala
A special adviser to the president who assists in Nigerian AIDS relief spoke Tuesday about the Ebola epidemic and common misconceptions about the disease. Dr. Robert Murphy, special adviser to the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief program in Nigeria, addressed about 25 students during the talk. The event was hosted by the Northwestern chapters of the American Red Cross, MEDLIFE and Rotaract Club. Weinberg sophomore Kathryn Kim, philanthropy chair of NU Red Cross, said students are often unaware of the realities of important issues like the Ebola epidemic. “Even though we are in college getting an education, we are still in a bubble,” Kim said. “We need more awareness of current events like this, especially during a time when the media and Internet cause so many misconceptions.” Murphy, director of the Center for Global Health at NU, began the talk focusing on the microbiological and historical background of the Ebola virus, describing the structure of the virus and where the current epidemic originated. As of March 24, 2014, the outbreak in Guinea killed 59 people and spread to neighboring countries in West Africa. Murphy said the disease is spread among humans via bodily fluids and initially produces symptoms similar to malaria, such as headache and fever. People who contract the disease later experience gastrointestinal distress, resulting in symptoms including vomiting and bleeding. In previous outbreaks, the mortality rate was 90 percent, but Murphy said the survival rate is now much higher. In contrast to most

They just die in isolation.” In the United States, patients have access to supportive care. The U.S. patients with Ebola have received extensive care, including blood transfusions from Ebola survivors and experimental therapies. “There are no proven treatments or vaccines

He said currently there are several experimental drugs and the Department of Defense and National Institutes of Health in conjunction with pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline are currently working on clinical testing for possible treatments. Although all patients who contracted the disease in the U.S. have successfully recovered, Murphy emphasized the need for a better health emergency response strategy. “The hysteria was extremely high compared to the risk,” Murphy said. “It couldn’t have been

daily senior staffer @tylerpager
CHICAGO — Despite multiple outlets calling the Illinois gubernatorial election in favor of Republican challenger Bruce Rauner, Gov. Pat Quinn refused to concede the election Tuesday night. Quinn, who has served as Illinois’ governor since 2009, said he wanted to make sure every vote was counted before relinquishing his seat. “I don’t believe in throwing in the towel if that many votes are being counted,” he said. “Until that happens, I don’t think we should make any judgment on this election.” With 99 percent of the state’s precincts reporting, Rauner captured 51 percent of
the vote to Quinn’s 46 percent. Quinn’s loss marked the first time that the governor of a president’s home state lost a re-election bid since 1892. Quinn’s supporters gathered at Hotel Allegro in downtown Chicago and began the night in high spirits as Quinn led the polls. The race remained close all night before multiple news outlets declared Rauner the winner at about 10:30 p.m. William Maggos, who works in Quinn’s office, said Quinn’s speech epitomized his character. “Quinn is always about the principle, and I think every vote counting is clearly one of the important principles of democracy,” he said. “What troubles me about the election is that Quinn has had to make a lot of hard choices and has tried to explain to people that you can’t have everything you want.”
Tyler Pager/Daily Senior Staffer
GOVERNOR NO MORE Gov. Pat Quinn tells supporters he will not concede the election until every vote is counted. Quinn, a Democrat, is the first governor to lose re-election in a president’s home state since 1892.
Throughout the election, critics said Rauner was out of touch with voters because of his wealth, noting he spent more than $26 million on his campaign. Quinn supporters harped on Rauner’s large campaign spending, saying it gave him an edge in the election. Janet Maher, a resident of Villa Park, Illinois, said it was a “sad day” for Illinois and Rauner’s victory is evidence of the power of money. “I do know that Gov. Quinn will continue doing everything he has always done for the people of Illinois,” she said. “He was a very good governor, and I don’t believe for one minute that Mr. Rauner will ever, ever be able to succeed in this state. He does not believe in anything besides corporate America.” State Sen. Daniel Biss (D-Evanston) also declined to acknowledge Rauner’s victory. “I think it’s very hard to contemplate what
that will look like because we have no sense of what (Rauner) would really intend to do,” he said. “But if that winds up being the outcome, we’ll learn quickly what his agenda is and have to figure out how to work with him.” Quinn’s loss mirrors how Democrats fared across the nation — the party lost control of the U.S. Senate on Tuesday night — something Rev. Jesse Jackson, who attended Quinn’s event, said he feared. Prior to the gubernatorial results, Jackson said he hoped Democrats would be able to upset their Republican challengers. “The Republicans are radical zealots, and their anti-Obama mania — they will try to legally tie him up and threaten to impeach him,” he told The Daily. “Their zealotry to the right is very frightening.” tylerpager2017@u.northwestern.edu

Republican victories in midterms surprise students

CASTING BALLOTS Residents talk at the Civic Center, where same-day voter registration took place. The midterm election drew about 46.2 percent of registered voters.
By hal jin
the daily northwestern @apricityhal
Northwestern students followed results of the midterm elections closely Tuesday night, with many surprised by Republican businessman Bruce Rauner’s victory over Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn in Illinois’ gubernatorial race.
Students watched as Republican candidates took congressional seats across the nation, extending their majority in the House of Representatives and taking control of the Senate. Student groups NU Political Union and Politics & Policy co-hosted a nonpartisan watch party off campus on Tuesday, while other students followed the election from their homes. SESP sophomore Julia Cohen said it was interesting to see a Republican governor
elected in a state that normally votes along Democratic lines. “The election results speaks a lot to how the nation felt about Obama’s second term,” she said. “This is Obama’s home state.” Races outside of Illinois also drew students’ attention. McCormick freshman Jack Chen said he was surprised by the Republican wins in his home state of Kansas. “Everywhere I looked on social media, everyone is saying how bad (Kansas Gov. Sam
Brownback) is,” Chen said. Brownback, along with Kansas’ Republican senator and representatives, won re-election. College Democrats president Quentin Heilbroner said the Democrats’ losses in the midterm elections reflect poor strategizing. Among other missteps, the Democrats focused too much on scare tactics, ground game and small interest groups, he said. “We can’t write out those demographics where we’re underperforming, like we’ve been doing in the past,” Heilbroner said. “We can’t run with the assumption that we’re going to lose rural voters, we’re going to lose white. We need to stop fixating on the idea that we should only turn out our base.” Although Heilbroner said that he believes that Democratic performance in the generals will worsen, others, such as Cohen, put little emphasis on the Republican victory. “(The Republican victories) probably won’t have an impact because the Republicans only have a simple majority so Obama will veto everything on the table,” Cohen said. “I almost feel like the midterm elections, because they went red, are setting up 2016 to go blue. Democrats will say, ‘Look, Republicans had their chance and they didn’t do anything.’” Heilbroner also said he hopes fellow Democrats will be motivated for future campaigns. “While awful, we can look at these results and say, ‘Where have we underperformed?’” Heilbroner said. “This election, while it was worse than 2010, should teach us to fire ourselves up more and expand our base, and how important that is.” hjin@u.northwestern.edu

Consistent civic engagement is more than just voting KEVIN MATHEW
DAILY COLUMNIST
If you did not realize Tuesday was Election Day, you must not have checked your Facebook newsfeed. I felt my patriotism swell when I saw posts celebrating the democratic process. But for every celebration post, I saw just as many posts declaring that if you did not vote, you should be shamed. Although I understand the sentiment, the dogma surrounding our social requirement to vote needs to be carefully evaluated. Voting has a double benefit. There is the benefit you give the candidate you support and there is the benefit you feel for participating in the political process. However, the first is a nominal effect at best, as the odds that my vote will be the deciding vote are astronomical. The majoritarian system of the
United States, where a winner takes all, necessarily gives rise to two primary candidates trying to split votes near the median. What this means for citizens is that your vote has an extremely minor chance to have an impact on which of two similar candidates takes office. This is the point where folks usually stop listening to me, but bear with me. I am not critiquing voting, just our understanding of it. Political scientists are still puzzled by just how many citizens turn out consistently at every election. But remember, there are two benefits to voting. I see every election day as a celebration of the incredible progress we have made in the past 300 years. Democracy has spread widely, and it suddenly is common sense that a government should represent the will of the people. But do not assume that those who do not celebrate loudly today are anti-democracy. There is much to be done, and political progress
Take care of yourself, seek counseling when needed RHYTHA ZAHID HEJAZE DAILY COLUMNIST
“You should go see a counselor,” I told her. “If you’re Qatari, it’s frowned upon,” she replied. No, it’s not frowned upon only if you’re Qatari. It’s frowned upon where I come from too: Pakistan. And maybe it’s frowned upon because it’s human, and as humans, we have little compassion for ourselves or anyone else. It takes a lot of But what is strength to tell counseling, really? Do you really need the world you’ve to be mentally ill been hurt and to see a counselor? If that’s true, then you haven’t looking down upon always been the idea of seeing a counselor essenhappy every tially means looking minute of every down on the mentally ill. day. Counseling, to me, is taking care of myself. It’s being kind to myself. It’s taking a step back from everyday hassles and listening to myself — listening to that endless berating in my head and catching myself on it. I’m trying to recall the first time I went to see Patti Collins, the health and wellness counselor at Northwestern University in Qatar, but I can’t put my finger on exactly why I went. Maybe I was running late for my morning classes or maybe I missed a morning class. Maybe I even missed an early morning exam. I know I was agitated and wanted that agitation to go away. It wasn’t going to take a day or two to “fix” myself or tape all of my pieces together or break them all apart if necessary. I knew that. I started seeing Collins weekly. It’s been more than a year now. I’ve learned so much. I’ve grown so much. I can trace the roots of a feeling back into my past, and I’m still constantly growing and moving forward. I know I sometimes use my laughter to protect myself, and I did that unintentionally until Collins pointed it out. “You laugh like that when you’re embarrassed,” she said. That laugh says “Hahaha. I’m embarrassed, but I don’t want you to know that.” A year ago when anyone asked me how I was, I would reply with a spontaneous “I’m perfect!” And I would mean it, too. But that wasn’t real. Nobody and nothing is ever perfect, and to say that, I was instigating a need for me to be perfect all the time. I don’t say “I’m perfect!” anymore. I say, “In this moment, I’m happy,” instead. Sometimes, I just say “I’m OK” when I’m lazy, but I
“
pay attention to myself now when the question’s asked. The answer’s not impulsive. I’ve definitely eased up on the obsession with perfection. It’s an achievement for me to be able to write just now, sitting on my bed with two of my skirts lying on it waiting to be hung and tucked away in the closet and the unfolded sheets waiting to be put away in the drawer. I even spilled some salad dressing on the floor but chose to allow myself to clean it later because right now it’s more important that I write and get this column in on time and then finish my statistics assignment too. It used to bother me that Collins linked every issue I had back to my family, every emotion I felt in my today to my yesterday. Not everything in my life was because of my family, I told her. There were other parts of my life too — happy parts — that equally affected me. There were friends, good ones and bad ones. There was teenage love with one or two teenage heartbreaks. All of these molded me. I would sometimes get frustrated enough to punch or kick a wall, though not hard enough to cause any serious damage. This one time, however, my doctor said I gave my foot a “traumatic thump” that needed crepe bandage. When I met Collins around a month ago, I told her this kind of frustration could be traced back to my relationship with my family. “This time, it was you who said (family), not me,” Collins said. There’s a box. There’s a wooden box inside me that holds all the past hurt. It sometimes morphs into a bubble, but whatever its shape, today’s hurt pokes holes into it. Sometimes that wooden box leaks and sometimes that bubble bursts. Collins said it still hurts because it hasn’t been talked about enough, and maybe one day I can talk about it and it wouldn’t hurt. Maybe. Some of my friends don’t go to a counselor because they think it renders them weak. But do they not know how much strength it takes to raise one’s hand and say “I got a problem”? Or just to admit to hurt? Or just to stop for a while and breathe? It takes a lot of strength to make yourself vulnerable. It takes a lot of strength to tell the world you’ve been hurt and you haven’t always been happy every minute of every day. And you don’t even have to be hurt or damaged or broken. You need to give yourself some space in time where you dump all your feelings and talk your heart out. After all, aren’t we all insane? Haven’t we all lost our minds?

grows only with constant attention. Election Day is a celebration of the democratic process, but we must pay attention more than once every two years. I could spend the rest of my column complaining about how voting works precisely in the United States, as it is easy to be discouraged when a carefully thought out decision counts the same as a random choice. But a careful, informed opinion is nowhere close to worthless. The political process is continuous, and with active voices we can continue to guide the United States toward a better representative democracy. So celebrate today, but remember the somber reality. Your individual vote will almost never decide an election. While elections are a celebration of our recent understanding that the government must represent the people, after we understand our individual vote is not enough to change the world, we are freed to understand the task before us. In the 23 months without elections, we have the power to influence the candidates we will be
presented with, the process of our elections and the general will of the people. Although it is easy for pride to take over, to assume that non-voters have no right to complain, remember that our process is nowhere close to perfect. We have made incredible strides toward a truly representative government, but we need to positively encourage involvement year-round. The joy of the celebration can blind us into thinking a vote has fully expressed our voices. But when we recognize the limitations of our voting process, we become empowered to be daily activists, consistently holding our representatives accountable every day, every month, every year. We all have a right to complain. Whether it is Election Day or not, every voice of every citizen must shout. Kevin Mathew is a Weinberg senior.

back our great state … I am honored, I am humbled to go to work for you.” The election of a Republican governor with a legislative body that is majority Democrat is a first for Illinois in many years, yet Rauner assured the crowd that it would not cause the state to come to a standstill. “This is an opportunity for us to work together,” Rauner said. “This is an opportunity for us to come together on a bipartisan basis to solve the problems, the challenges facing the families of Illinois.” The audience took the chance to boo State House Speaker Michael Madigan and State Senate President John Cullerton, both Democrats, when Rauner said he had called them after winning the election. He stressed to the crowd that he would make certain the divided government would not lead to fighting, he said. Rauner said he would focus foremost on creating a “thriving economy” and making taxpayer dollars count. Illinois has to work to make itself appealing and attractive to businesses that can create jobs, he said.

Evanston sisters Judy and Sarah Cochran, who volunteered for Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn’s campaign, said the victory party was the easiest way for them to keep up with the race. “We wanted to be here because we can probably get some insight as the polls come in to see if things are coming in as we expected them to,” Judy Cochran said. “We don’t have that insight at home.” Because Biss and Gabel both ran unopposed in the election, Fine was the only state lawmaker representing Evanston to face a challenger. Celebrating her victory with supporters in Glenview, Illinois, Fine reflected on the negativity of the campaign against Myalls, a Wilmette resident who works as an assistant general
district administration to contact the city, said Carl Caneva, Evanston’s assistant director of the health department, in a letter to parents and guardians of the district. The origin and cause of the illness is still unknown, he said. The school’s Halloween parade and in-class Halloween parties were canceled by school administration after the health department recommended doing so, Caneva said. The health department is interviewing anyone with the illness to identify what it could be, and parents and guardians with a child experiencing the symptoms have been asked to call in to the city and complete a questionnaire,
Caneva said. Washington Elementary has since been cleaned and disinfected per the school district and health department’s procedures. Caneva said there has been no report that other district schools have had widespread illnesses similar to this. In a letter from Caneva, he reminded students to practice good personal hygiene with frequent handwashing.
“We need Illinois to be competitive and we need Illinois to stay compassionate. We can’t do one without the other, they are both critically important,” he said. “We can judge our nation by how well we care for our most vulnerable citizens.” U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), who was re-elected Tuesday to serve the state’s 16th District, said Rauner and his new policies would help Illinois out of its economic downturn. Illinois’ unemployment rate is among the worst in the country, a statistic that many supporters took the opportunity to mention. Rauner would help bring more jobs to the state and improve its economy, Kinzinger said. “Regardless of whether you’re Republican, Democrat or other, it’s time for something different. Illinois has to turn this around,” Kinzinger told The Daily. “We’re not just losing jobs to India, we’re losing them to Indiana, and that’s something that we can change.” Evelyn Sanguinetti, Rauner’s running mate and lieutenant governor-elect, took the stage ahead of Rauner and spoke about the state’s promising future that voters could look forward to. Sanguinetti is the first Latina lieutenant
governor in Illinois’ history, a monumental feat that points toward more to come, she said. “It’s the victory of all Illinois women. It is the victory of all Latino communities in Illinois,” she said. “Change is on its way.” Rauner thanked his supporters for putting up with the “mudslinging” that characterized the gubernatorial races, he said. Both Rauner and Quinn spent much of their campaigns attacking each other. Rauner labeled the governor a failure who had driven the state into the ground, while Quinn called the Republican a millionaire who was out-of-touch with lower income constituents. Throughout the night, election predictions from media outlets were shown on a projector on one side of the ballroom. Displays of Republican-won races and those with GOP candidates in the lead were met with loud cheers from the ballroom supporters, who were allowed into the party at 7:30 p.m. U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), as well as many Republican state and national Congressmen up for re-election, made appearances to celebrate Rauner’s victory.
counsel in Chicago. “We really tried to do what we could to keep this campaign positive,” Fine said. “It was really challenging because I felt like every time I turned around, someone was taking a bat and knocking it over my head.” Fine, who supports all of the referenda on the Illinois ballot, clashed with Myalls over the birth control advisory, which says insurance plans with prescription drug coverage should include prescription birth control. Myalls opposes the mandate, arguing market competition should determine coverage. In her second term, Fine has pledged to tackle pension reform and rising public higher education costs. She said she looks forward to maintaining her good working relationship with Evanston, noting city officials don’t hesitate to reach out to her if they think she can help with
an issue. “Evanston is an amazing community,” she said. “It’s a great team relationship. They can pick up the phone, and we can work on issues together.” Voters also passed another advisory referendum, dubbed the Millionaire’s Tax, which creates a 3 percent income tax surcharge on residents who make more than $1 million. The funds would go toward education. Two of the referenda became amendments, one of which provides more protection for crime victims during court proceedings and criminal trials. The other amendment prohibits denying anyone their right to vote based on attributes including race, sex, religion and ethnicity.

Underdog Cats to take on top-seed Nittany Lions After surprising tournament bid, NU faces tough challenge in first-place Penn State Northwestern vs. Penn State West Lafayette, Ind. 7 p.m. Wednesday

In an exciting turn of events, Northwestern earned the eighth spot in the Big Ten tournament when it won its last conference game against Minnesota on Saturday. The Wildcats (8-7-4, 4-6-3 Big Ten) will face top seed Penn State (17-2-0, 12-1-0) on Wednesday. The tournament will be hosted at Purdue in West Lafayette, Indiana. “I think mentally we have been preparing for this game since our season started,” junior captain and midfielder Nandi Mehta said. “We managed to pull it out from a lot of perseverance.” The Cats and Nittany Lions have faced off once already this season resulting in a score of 4-1 favoring Penn State. “I was very impressed with Penn State the first time we played them,” coach Michael Moynihan said. “There
was a lot of things we could have done better.” Penn State and NU are both coming off winning streaks of five games and two games, respectively. Penn State leads the conference with goals scored per game at 2.42, while the Cats are 11th in the conference with an average of 1.16. Both teams have strong defensive showings; the Nittany Lions are ranked third in the conference for goals allowed per game and NU is ranked fifth. NU’s freshman goalkeeper Lauren Clem ranks third in the conference in shutouts with a total of eight this season. Clem’s record is a testament to her abilities as a goalie and her defensive line’s ability to defend the goal to allow fewer shots. Clem and the NU defensive line will have to continue their impressive play in the game Wednesday to defeat the offensively strong Nittany Lions. “We can be a lot stingier in our defense,” Moynihan said. “I like our chances.” The Cats have been creating a lot of offensive chances but are having trouble converting these chances into goals. In their last game against Minnesota, they had 20 total shot attempts but failed to

of changing systems in the middle of the year.” The new lineup has benefited Tashima and the team as a whole, but some of the older players such as senior Yewande Akanbi have seen their playing time greatly reduced over the past four games. Akanbi has not registered a single kill and has only played a total of two sets during that span, both of which came against Michigan State last Saturday. “Yewande is still very important to our team and our development,” elaborated Chan. “I just think that right now, at this moment, this is kind of the system that’s best for us, but everyone knows they have an opportunity to compete for a spot.” Chan and the Cats will look to carry on the success of the six-two this week when they play a home-and-home series against No. 9 Illinois, starting Wednesday at Welsh-Ryan Arena. The series carries a bit of a rivalry feel, as the Illini are the only other in-state
program in the Big Ten. “It’s a big match,” Chan said. “Obviously (Illinois) is a rival of ours, and they’re a team that’s playing great volleyball right now, so I think there’s a lot for us to be playing for with a lot on the line.” Senior Savannah Paffen agreed with Chan, adding, “We play them twice in one week, so depending on the outcome of the first game, either if we win or lose, is going to provide more fire for the second.” When asked if there was any extra pressure on the team playing against its third top-10 opponent this season, Paffen dismissed the notion. “I think we try to not focus on their ranking because lots of teams in the Big Ten are ranked,” she said. “If we focus too much on the rankings we kind of get intimidated or nervous or anxious, so it’s better if we just don’t think about that.” maxgelman2018@u.northwestern.edu

Wisconsin vs. No. 22 Northwestern
By MAX GELMAN
Freshman Taylor Tashima appears to have cemented herself as the centerpiece of Northwestern’s game plan. Beginning with NU’s Oct. 24 loss to Purdue, coach Keylor Chan and the Wildcats have implemented a lineup change consisting of two setters. The adjustment has opened up the opportunity for Tashima to hit as well as set. “It definitely gives me more room to attack the ball with (sophomore) Caleigh (Ryan) setting,” explained Tashima, who has 41 kills and 93 assists since Chan made the change. “You know, it gives the other team more hitters to look at too, which kind of balances our offense more.” Although Twashima was mainly a setter in high school, she has managed to adapt well to the new lineup. “For my freshman, sophomore, and junior years on (my club team) I set and hit,” Tashima continued. “It’s nothing really different for me. I’m used to it, I’ve been practicing setting and hitting, so it’s made the Right transition a lot easier.” now (the Even though NU has lost alignment) of the seems to be three four matches in something which the team has utilized the we’ve had new six-two solid success lineup, they have played with. some of their Keylor Chan, best volleyball Coach of the season, taking both No. 13 Purdue and Indiana to five sets. This begs the question: Is the lineup here to stay for the remainder of the season? “We’re hopeful it does,” Chan said. “You keep on evaluating, but right now it seems to be something that we’ve had some solid success with. We’re working out some of the technical issues
right now as the underdogs. It’s always a good thing.” Despite NU’s challenge in facing Penn State, Moynihan said he is confident the team can at least compete with
Depending on other results, No. 22 Northwestern (8-3-5, 3-1-3 Big Ten) has the chance to win the Big Ten regular season championship Wednesday night when the Wildcats play conference bottom-dweller Wisconsin (3-10-3, 0-6-1) at home in the last game of the regular season. “We have to approach the game in a professional manner,” senior goalkeeper Tyler Miller said. “We have to make sure we are ready to play as soon as we start warming up, preparing mentally.” The Badgers have not won a single away game this season, while the Wildcats are undefeated at Lakeside Field. In its most recent match, Wisconsin battled to pick up an impressive 2-2 draw against No. 2 Indiana. The match was the first point the Badgers have picked up in the Big Ten this season, with the team losing its other six matches. “We just have to play well,” coach Tim Lenahan said. “Both teams expended a lot of energy for (their last two games). We have to make sure that we prepare ourselves mentally.” Currently, Penn State (11-4-1, 5-3) stands at the top of the conference table with 15 points, but the Nittany Lions played their last Big Ten match of the season against NU on Sunday, where the Cats came out with a 2-1 win in double overtime. NU is behind them with 12 points in the standings. Should the Cats win against Wisconsin on Wednesday, they would be tied at the top of the table. Maryland (10-5-2, 4-2-1) is the only team that controls its own destiny going into its final match of conference play against Rutgers (5-10-1, 1-5-1). A win would automatically grant the Terrapins the title, while a tie or a loss would put the Terrapins out of contention for the regular season championship. This match is occurring at the same time as NU’s match.
If Maryland loses or ties and NU wins, NU would be tied with Penn State at 15 points. The first tie breaker is head-tohead record, where the Cats would have an advantage over the Nittany Lions. But Miller isn’t getting carried away with all the permutations, and is just focusing on the upcoming match against the Badgers. “We’re just trying to focus on our game, that’s all we can really control,” Miller said. “If we get the result then that’s great but if not we’re just going to take the result and go into the Big Ten tournament ready to win that.” Wisconsin has scored a total of 18 goals this season but has no truly standout players offensively, with no player on the team scoring more than 4 goals. However, forward Mark Segbers has made a great contribution on offense as a freshman, notching 4 goals and five assists. The NU defense will do well to shut down Segbers. Although the Cats have done a great job on defense this season, conceding only 10 goals, they have also been lacking in offensive firepower. Junior forward Joey Calistri, whose 12 goals last season led the Big Ten, has been able to put the ball into the back of the net only four times this year. Calistri has not scored since the match against Maryland on Oct. 5. “Sometimes the goals just aren’t going in,” Lenahan said. “But I thought he was very effective on Sunday, and that’s all we ask of him, to keep working, come out here and train on some finishing, and hopefully we’ll have a stretch like he had last year. The big thing is to never stop working.” Other players have stepped up in that department. Junior midfielder Cole Missimo, who prior to this season had only scored one goal in his NU career, is now the Cats’ top scorer with 5 goals. Finally, sophomore forward Mike Roberge has scored 3 goals in his last three conference matches. Roberge said the team expects to advance deep in the Big Ten Tournament and beyond. “All of us believe we have the talent, we have the team to do it,” Roberge said. “So we’re just hoping we can go as far as we can.” juliangerez2017@u.northwestern.edu
