Pot dispensaries seek city location By PAIGE LESKIN

daily senior staffer @paigeleskin

More than 20 entities have submitted applications to open a marijuana dispensary in Evanston, the city manager said Monday. City manager Wally Bobkiewicz said Evanston itself does not accept the applications or select the dispensary. However, the city has provided letters of lease approval to anyone who asked to include the proposed Evanston location, 1800 Maple Ave., on its application to the state, a move aldermen approved at City Council on Aug. 11. “We basically took all comers, and we’ll see what happens,” he said. As of Monday, the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, the body in charge of reviewing and selecting applicants for marijuana dispensaries and cultivation centers, had stopped accepting applications. The department started taking applications Sept. 8. Under Gov. Pat Quinn’s “Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot There’s going Program Act,” which became to be one effective Jan. 1 , me d i c a l somewhere marijuana disin the area, pensaries and so why not cultivation centers can Evanston? be established Wally in Illinois for Bobkiewicz, the purpose City manager of giving out medical marijuana to qualifying patients. The law includes limitations on the specific locations of the centers. Only 60 centers are allowed throughout the entire state and a certain amount are designated per geographical area.

“

Through this breakdown, only one dispensary is allowed within the boundaries of Evanston and Niles. However, Bobkiewicz said he thinks the Evanston site is more attractive than the Niles site because of its central location near parking and transit. “There’s going to be one somewhere in the area, so why not Evanston?” he said. “I think we’re feeling pretty confident that the location that is selected in (Evanston) will likely be that location, but we will not know until the state of Illinois makes that decision.” The state law also requires that dispensaries be located more than 1,000 feet from certain properties, including schools and child care facilities. With these statutes, along with Evanston’s zoning restrictions, the empty commercial space located at the Maple Avenue parking garage was one of the three spaces available where Evanston could place a dispensary. If the dispensary were to come to Evanston, the city plans to impose its own tax, Bobkiewicz said. He cited the city’s status as a “Home Rule community,” which allows goods sold at the location to be subject to a tax determined by Evanston officials. Staff estimated in a memo to City Council on Aug. 5 that a 4 percent tax, which is around what cities nationwide have used, could bring in between $28,800 and $216,000 per year. Evanston does not plan to impose further regulations on the dispensary if it were to come to the city, as the current state statutes are restrictive enough, Bobkiewicz said. If anything, limitations in Illinois have been stricter than other states with medical marijuana centers, he added. pl@u.northwestern.edu

By marissa mizroch City Council moved to go forward Monday with the negotiations for the lease and sale of the Harley Clarke Mansion to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. The mansion, located at 2603 Sheridan Road, was previously occupied by the Evanston Art Center. IDNR said it would use the lakefront location to educate residents and visitors about the Illinois coast, Lake Michigan and the Great Lakes. Many residents and aldermen expressed concern over who would have ownership if IDNR were to no longer occupy the mansion. Ald. » See council, page 10

The YWCA Evanston/North Shore is participating in the Allstate Foundation’s Purple Purse Challenge to raise awareness about domestic violence and raise funds for the services they provide to more than 800 women each year. The North Shore branch of the YWCA was chosen along with 140 other charities to participate in the challenge, which runs from Sept. 2 to Oct. 3. Each charity competes to win $100,000, with Allstate providing matching incentives for each monetary goal reached. “The Purple Purse Challenge is just one part of our program,” said Patricia

Garza, director of strategic philanthropy for Allstate. “We’ve been involved in funding domestic violence services for nearly a decade. We do that through three approaches: funding direct services to help support women, second one is to raise awareness of the issue and the third is to expand knowledge in the field through leadership initiatives.” The YWCA has been taking pictures of people posing with a purple purse to raise awareness about the challenge, as well as participating with local Evanston businesses to raise money. “It has two purposes, this campaign, to raise awareness and raise money,” communications director Julie McBratney said. » See Domestic, page 10

ETHS student launches Kickstarter By paige leskin

daily senior staffer @paigeleskin

An Evanston high schooler has launched a $5,000 online fundraising campaign to create cheap, high-quality soccer balls for children. Evanston Township High School senior Olivia Post is asking for donations to support her oNe Soccer Ball foundation, which aims to provide both local and foreign youth with affordable soccer balls. The organization, which she started two years ago, runs under the slogan, “Buy oNe, Give oNe.” For each ball that is bought by a funder, one is donated to someone in need. Post said with the money made, she hopes to produce 300 soccer balls, which are made inexpensively through a company in Pakistan at NCAA-level quality. As of Monday night, Post’s Kickstarter campaign was about $500 short of its fundraising goal, which must be reached by Friday morning. Post came up with the idea for the fundraiser after visiting Guatemala for five weeks during the summer and encountering children who played soccer with shabby equipment and balls. “The kids would play on dirt, and it was not a

really nice field at all,” she said. “I wanted to do something for them, so I spent my whole junior year of high school collecting over 600 pieces of soccer equipment and raising over $1,000.” Upon her return, Post realized that although she had already helped out a single community, she could reach even more people and expand her work. The primary need amongst the children she encountered were soccer balls, so she decided to focus her efforts on those, she said. While on her summer trip, Post befriended Sharon Smart, one of the founders of nonprofit organization Mayan Families that aims to develop impoverished parts of Guatemala through education and community programming. Smart now acts as Post’s mentor, as well as the person who she’ll use to help ship out soccer balls to youth in Guatemala. Post is also working to share soccer balls with children in Haiti, as well as with local teams and clubs in the Midwest, including the local group Team Evanston. Soccer has been an integral part of Post’s life since she started at age 5, she said. She plans to continue her efforts when she attends Nova Southeastern University in Florida, where she has recently committed to play soccer after high school. paigeleskin2017@u.northwestern.edu

Classes, departments relocate amid construction By olivia exstrum

the daily northwestern @olivesocean

More than 20 Northwestern departments and programs formerly housed in Kresge Hall are adjusting to class and office relocations as the building undergoes a two-year renovation project that began in August. Most classes previously held in Kresge have been relocated to buildings on the University’s main campus, said Paul Weller, director of Facilities Planning. Weller said the move went smoothly. Classes will be held in rooms in Locy Hall, University Library, Technological Institute and GarrettEvangelical Theological Seminary, he said. Some classes have also been moved to miscellaneous rooms at 2122 Sheridan Rd., 555 Clark St. and buildings on Hinman Avenue. Faculty offices were primarily moved to 1800 Sherman Ave., but Evanston zoning laws prevented classroom use of the building, Weller said. Matt Martin, program assistant in the art theory and practice department, said the department is “thrilled” about NU art classes’ move to 640 Lincoln St., the building formerly used by Evanston’s Roycemore School. “We have a much larger space than we had previously,” Martin said. “Now that we moved out to this

Northwestern student leaders will participate this year in a White House public awareness campaign that calls on college students to help prevent sexual assault on their campuses. Associated Student Government will partner with other student groups to roll out the “It’s On Us” campaign at Northwestern in the coming week, ASG president Julia Watson said. The campaign, launched Friday by the White House’s task force on college sexual assault and the

old school building, we have lots of odd things you wouldn’t see in architecture anymore. Now we have a gym, a stage and all sorts of things we’re going to take advantage of.”

Martin said the department petitioned the University to make a permanent move to the school building, but the administration denied the request, explaining that any repairs made to the building would not be

nonprofit Generation Progress, focuses on public awareness and education. It aims to encourage students, particularly men, to prevent sexual assault through bystander intervention and culture change, according to a White House news release. “The campaign reflects the belief that sexual assault isn’t just an issue involving a crime committed by a perpetrator against a victim, but one in which the rest of us also have a role to play,” the White House said in the release. The White House has engaged student leaders at about 200 universities to participate in the campaign and lists organizations such as the Big Ten, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, Viacom and Electronic Arts as partners.

“I think it’s a great idea from a ‘getting people involved’ standpoint,” Watson, a Weinberg senior, said. “You can change a culture if you get a lot of students involved.” Shifting the culture around sexual assault would include defining consensual, “yes means yes” sex and “being able to recognize when something is not right,” Watson said, adding that ASG is looking to partner with groups and resources such as the NU Greek community and the University’s Step UP! bystander intervention program. “It would be better if we program with other organizations and not just ASG,” she said. Joan Slavin, Title IX coordinator and director of NU’s Sexual Harassment Prevention Office, said

suitable for a permanent move. However, Martin said some art faculty have expressed concerns that the move will negatively impact the department’s enrollment. “Now that the building is north, it’s more difficult to get students besides the ones who know about the department already,” he said. “(The move) will be better for students, but it will be a strain for us because it will be separate from everything else we’ll be doing.” Weller said it is too soon to tell how the change will affect the academic year. Spanish and Portuguese classes have not seen a difference in enrollment, as most classes are still centrally located on South Campus, department assistant Jane Corey Holt said. “Of course, there is some confusion for people trying to find (the department) now,” she said. “But in terms of classrooms, the registrar has done a phenomenal job of not making it as disruptive as it could be for our students. I don’t think it’s as major as I guessed it would be.” Most departments will return to Kresge after renovations are complete, Weller said. “It’s not the most desirable arrangement, but everyone realizes that the end will be such a tremendous improvement for the departments located in Kresge,” he said. “It’s a necessary thing for us to go through.” oliviaexstrum2017@u.northwestern.edu administrators are also “very attuned” to the “It’s On Us” campaign. “University leaders, including the Title IX Coordinating Committee, will also be discussing ways that we can help support the momentum of this campaign,” Slavin said in an email to The Daily. The White House task force, which was established by President Barack Obama in January, released a set of guidelines in April for universities to prevent and respond to sexual assault on their campuses. Slavin told The Daily at the time that NU administrators would “closely examine” the task force’s recommendations. — Jeanne Kuang

Sexual assault is not just Getting a job is all about learning to lie well a women’s issue AMY WHYTE

OPINION EDITOR

Sexual assault is a serious problem, at Northwestern, at other college campuses, in the world at large. But too often it’s treated specifically as a women’s problem — like unplanned pregnancies or menstrual cramps, it’s a problem that happens to us, so it’s our job to prevent it. Growing up, girls are taught to protect themselves against possible attacks. We’re supposed to travel in groups, avoid walking home at night, take self-defense classes. We’re instructed to clutch keys in one hand and our cell phones in the other, with the speed dial set to 911. We’re told to be careful about how much and where we drink and to be mindful of how we dress lest we give the impression we’re “asking for it.” Last month, a group of well-meaning college students even developed a nail polish designed to detect date rape drugs slipped into beverages — once again fighting sexual assault by focusing on ways women can protect themselves. But just like how pregnancy is best prevented when both partners are actively using protective measures — birth control AND condoms — sexual assault is best combated when it is treated as not solely a women’s issue. On Friday, the U.S. Department of Justice gifted Northwestern a nearly $300,000 grant to expand its sexual assault prevention efforts. The University will use these funds specifically for men’s programming: Among other prevention efforts, the Center for Awareness, Response and Education is adding a new staff member whose primary responsibility will be working with male students. The new coordinator of men’s engagement will work with male student groups such as fraternities and athletic teams, as well as male survivors — because, let’s not forget, sexual assault can happen to men, too.

This is a positive step for NU and one that other college campuses should mimic. We should be educating all students, male and female, about sexual assault prevention. It shouldn’t just be up to female students to remember to put on their date rape drug-detecting nail polish before heading out to a frat party. It should be up to all students — regardless of gender — to ensure date rape drugs aren’t in drinks in the first place. Education about what constitutes consent, as well as how bystanders can step up and prevent assault before it happens, will do far more to prevent rape than a self-defense class ever will. U. N. Women Goodwill Ambassador Emma Watson gave a great speech this weekend at the United Nations Headquarters while launching a new women’s rights campaign, HeForShe. She explained that gender equality can never be achieved unless we reject cultural stereotypes for both genders. “If men don’t have to be aggressive in order to be accepted, women won’t feel compelled to be submissive,” she argued, and the same logic can be applied to sexual assault. If men don’t feel pressured by society to rack up high numbers of sexual conquests, fewer will feel the need to resort to tactics like preying on those who are too intoxicated to make informed decisions. If women can make decisions about their sexual activity without fear of being labeled “slut,” “tease” or “prude,” more will feel confident enough to state up front what they do and do not want out of a sexual encounter, making hookups less of a guessing game. The only way to truly prevent sexual assault is to change the culture of sex. And the only way to do that is to treat sexual assault not as a women’s issue, or even a men’s issue, but a human issue. Women have already had a head start in working against sexual assault. Men, it’s time to catch up. Amy Whyte is a Medill senior. She can be reached at amywhyte2015@u.northwestern.edu.

This past summer, my friend who attends Marquette University had an internship with PricewaterhouseCoopers. Of course, the hope of every summer accounting intern is the promise of a job opportunity. While the interns are busy working, what are the accounting firms doing? They are schmoozing their interns through boat rides along the river, brewery tours and baseball games. Not surprisingly, most of these trips include the promise of alcohol. So what do you do if the partners and your fellow interns are drinking, but the idea of drinking four glasses of beer in an hour doesn’t appeal to you? You drink anyway. When it’s time to schmooze, it’s time to schmooze. At the end of the summer, PwC took all the interns they recently offered jobs on a trip to Walt Disney World. In a way, it was a test. Can you drink but still stay classy? One of the interns became so drunk that she threw up on one of the partners. Job offer revoked. Fortunately, my friend—who certainly doesn’t spend his Saturday nights partying and Sunday mornings recovering from hangovers with big pancakes from The Broken Yolk & Sandwich Shoppe—made it through the schmoozing process and will be working with PwC come next fall. But the question I have to ask is, is it all worth it? It seems that increasingly, in order to get jobs, we have to become good liars. None of the lies we tell are earth-shattering. We are not on our way to becoming con artists. We slowly accumulate a series of white lies. It all starts with the resume. We tailor it to specific companies, inflating that summer volunteering experience at the neighborhood community center or that secretarial work we did at some city office. We add a couple adjectives here or there. We make our verbs more active to highlight our genius: generate,

innovate, develop. Then it comes time for the cover letter, which once again must be tailored to each specific company, somehow proving that we possess the necessary skills for the position. We pull out pieces from our resume and draw connections that may or may not exist. They always tell you to be honest in interviews, but in reality, some questions have correct answers. It’s time for a peppy makeover so you can walk in exuding pop and positive energy. If you’re actually fortunate enough to receive an internship, as my friend was, the entire summer must be spent putting on a face the company would approve of, even if that means pretending you care about sports or beer. You may not know what consulting actually entails. Most companies train you on site. How do you tell someone you want to be a consultant when you don’t fully understand what that term means? You lie. The big fall career fair is coming to Northwestern on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1. All this week you can go to University Career Services for express advising hours to help fine-tune your skills of subtle persuasion and find the hidden skills you didn’t even know you had. Hopefully, by the time the career fair comes around, you are fully prepared to schmooze in your best blazer or pencil skirt. As a current senior trying to figure our her future, my biggest fear is the interview. I know there will be that inevitable question: Why do you want to work for us? How do I answer? I can’t say I really need a job. I can’t say, “Well your company has a good benefits package and excellent medical care.” I can’t say what I’m really feeling: “Your company sounds interesting. I’m trying to figure out my life, and I think if you gave me a chance, I’d do a good job.” I guess it’s time to start practicing my schmoozing skills. Blair Dunbar is a Weinberg senior.

Alibaba’s rise blurs Internet’s international borders LUCAS MATNEY

DAILY COLUMNIST

Alibaba, a massive Chinese Internet conglomerate, debuted on the New York Stock Exchange this week, raising more than $25 million in its debut — the largest initial public offering in the world. The company, which has been referred to as “China’s Amazon,” had $240 billion in sales in 2013, more than both Amazon and eBay combined. Founder Jack Ma intends to continue the expansion of Alibaba to the American market, while possibly overtaking Walmart as the world’s largest retailer in the process. Alibaba’s rise signifies an important change in the tense online relationship between the United States and China. It raises questions as to why the Internet, a technology seemingly synonymous with connectivity, exists in such separate entities across international borders. In the case of China and the United States, the answers point to a shaky association often marred by China’s state censorship and curbed in the name of economic protectionism and national security on both sides. This globalized exchange has tended to be a disadvantage for China’s 642 million Internet users. Over the past decade, American firms have made the move to China and have regrettably both complied with and assisted the Chinese government in building its censorship engine. More than 2,700 websites are currently blocked by China’s “Great Firewall.” This list of censored sites is composed of American tech titans like Google, Twitter and Facebook; highly critical news sources like The New York Times website and Japanese iterations of popular sites, including what would be an Alibaba competitor, Amazon Japan. China’s motives are growing increasingly more strategic and seem to often be much murkier than merely suppressing free expression. Protecting national security seems to have a broad interpretation to the Chinese government,

yet they have always maintained that the censorship helps to maintain a bustling economy. In the past decade, this strategy has led to innumerable cyber attacks against U.S. companies, likely carried out by the Chinese government with the goal of stealing intellectual property and benefitting national corporations. Blocking U.S. sites such as Facebook and Twitter has also allowed large Chinese tech companies such as Weibo and Alibaba to overtake the following the U.S. sites originally possessed. The Obama administration, like previous administrations, has relied mostly on arguments related to national security for keeping Chinese tech companies out of the mainstream. Largely through financial incentives, the American government has spent considerable effort dissuading corporate America from using products from Chinese telecommunication firms as a unified effort against products with “backdoor access” that would allow the Chinese government to track users’ online movements. It’s too soon to tell how the U.S. government would react to a popular Chinese-owned Internet service like Alibaba taking hold in the United States, one that would undoubtedly capture a great deal of information on American consumers to be stored in servers possibly on foreign soil. If Alibaba is successful in making the move to Western consumer markets, it may tempt more of the dozen or so Chinese tech companies looking to go public this year on Wall Street into expanding their own operations stateside. Despite the issues that will undoubtedly arise, if American and Chinese governments can manage to decrease tensions and recognize the mutual benefits that would arise from enhancing the online connections of the two countries, consumers on both ends will likely benefit greatly. That will only happen, however, if China can tear down its “Great Firewall” and allow its citizens to reap the benefits of an open Internet rather than just its corporations.

An exercise studio that will offer programming for both fitness and self-defense training received approval from City Council on Monday to open its doors on Davis Street. Aldermen voted on Monday night to suspend the rules and approve a proposal from the owners of Tier One Training to move into the space at 1017 Davis St. that has been vacant since May. The facility aims to offer a diversity of martial arts and classes that will attract both those serious about fitness and those who want to simply get in shape, said Arpun Nagaraja, one of the three owners. Classes will be available for adults and children. “The programs that we offer have never been offered here before in this combination,” he said. “We think that all the programs really complement each other.” The space is located close to CTA and Metra stations, which will allow the studio to attract customers from not only suburbs around Evanston, but those who live in Chicago too, Nagaraja said. The appeal of Tier One Training comes from its offering of classes in Krav Maga and TACFIT, two programs that have been used for professional military and law enforcement use, Nagaraja said. He said his studio will be one of few studios in both suburban and metro Chicago that will supply Tacfit classes taught by a certified instructor. The fitness program relies on real-world applications and technique and has never before been offered to those in the Evanston community. The owners hope to lure Northwestern students with its easy accessibility, Nagaraja said. “Students typically don’t have cars and don’t

have time to go for an hour and a half on public transportation to go train for an hour,” he said. Tier One Training will also offer NU students full membership to attend any training program for the price of a single class, Nagaraja said. The studio plans to offer training in boxing, which will be focused more on skill development, as well as kid programming in taekwondo. Nagaraja anticipates it will take about three weeks to renovate the space and hopes to open in October. Owners received unanimous approval from the Zoning Board of Appeals on Sept. 9 for a special use permit in order to hold classes with a big number of attendees. “Tier One Training Center, Inc will utilize a vacant storefront and will diversify the services and opportunities offered in Evanston while enhancing the surrounding neighborhood,” the proposal from the board said. The space once housed pet supply store Fit and Frisky, which has since relocated to 824 Noyes St. The surrounding area includes an animal hospital, a nonprofit and commercial retail stores. paigeleskin2017@u.northwestern.edu

AN OPEN LETTER TO NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY This isn’t just in Chicago. It’s not just in Illinois. It’s not just in the US. It’s everywhere. A violent crime problem has been “overlooked” for the last 45 years by city, state and Federal government, not just in the US, but around the world. Repeated efforts to bring it out into the open have been continually sidetracked in the General Assembly and in the Chicago City Council. Every so often, someone is taken hostage, driven to an ATM, forced to make a withdrawal, executed and the body hidden so the killer can clean out the bank account with the card. Every once in a while, a murder provokes political action, a committee is formed and the police recommend tracking forced withdrawals. Every time, that recommendation fails. That makes it easier for the criminal to get away with his next murder. The families of the victims almost always withdraw so that they can grieve in private, so they don’t make a fuss. After a few days, everyone forgets the problem. So the problem never gets exposed. Having integrated the murders and the wrongful death lawsuits into the business model, the banks continue with business as usual and just deduct the litigation cost from overhead. In Illinois, the police have been recommending tracking this crime pattern for decades, but the General Assembly has blocked every attempt to fix the problem. Normally, crime patterns are tracked by the numbers used in the crime statutes. Forced ATM withdrawals get lumped in with robbery because there is no crime code section for “forced-ATM-withdrawal.” House Bill 3914 (2011), would have solved this problem. It passed the General Assembly unanimously but was killed in a Senate subcommittee on the spurious grounds that it was not CLEAR compliant and the punishment was too harsh, (a class 1 felony vs a class 2 felony). So police still can’t connect Crime A in City A to Crime B in City B, compare evidence, solve the case and make an arrest before Crime C in City C. In short, the General Assembly has been looking the other way while people are murdered. The lack of a crime code section also keeps the public blind about the extent of the problem. This blind spot isn’t just in Illinois, not just in the US, but in every country around the world as well. If you’re the head of marketing at Chase Bank, how many of these murders each year is good news? A backdoor method of researching the body count is possible though. A Freedom of Information Act Request to the Rockford PD showed that over 5 years, there were 3 murders out of 102 that involved the suspect using the victim’s ATM card. Statewide, that’s roughly 21 murders in 2013. The Chicago PD and the Illinois State Police refused to comply with similar requests. There’ve been efforts in the past to solve this problem by mandating a reverse emergency PIN system for ATM users. In January 2004, the system was made mandatory. In August, without notifying the original witnesses, a follow on bill, HB4652, was passed that gutted the original bill. The official justification for the follow on bill was that it would give tort immunity to banks for using the system. In fact, what the law did was grant tort immunity to banks that don’t use the system. That’s not a typo. The law discourages even the voluntary use of the system. In other words, the State of Illinois gave Doyle Parker, Robert Armfield, Lyn Weis, Mark Evans, James Keniski, Carol Andrews, Wilber Harden, Natasha Cleary and her two young children a chance to call for help, then snatched it out of their hands. God only knows how many others could have been saved. If it had been available, serial killers like Gary Michael Hilton; John “The Grim Sleeper Ewell; and Illinois’ favorite son, Bruce Mendenhall would probably have been caught sooner.

IT IS A MAXIM OF THE LAW AND THE BIBLE THAT “SILENCE GIVES CONSENT.” PAT QUINN, LISA MADIGAN AND RAHM EMMANUEL HAVE BEEN REMAINING SILENT ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS. WITHIN 72 HOURS OF GIVING THE ORDER, THEY COULD FULLY INFORM THE PUBLIC. NO ONE HAS ENOUGH MONEY TO OUTBID THE BANKING INDUSTRY ON THIS, BUT IF ENOUGH PEOPLE START TALKING ABOUT HOW AND WHY THIS PROBLEM WAS COVERED UP FOR SO LONG, MAYBE THAT WILL FIX IT.

Study finds correlation between exercise, alcohol By Rebecca savransky daily senior staffer @beccasavransky

People tend to consume greater amounts of alcohol on days when they exercise more, a new Northwestern Medicine study found. The study, published online in Health Psychology, determined that between Thursday and Sunday, people drink alcohol and exercise more than on other days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Insufficient physical activity and alcohol use are both linked to many health problems, and excessive alcohol use has many indirect costs as well,â&#x20AC;? Feinberg Prof. David Conroy, lead author of the study, said in a news release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to figure out how to use physical activity effectively and safely without having the adverse effects of drinking more alcohol.â&#x20AC;? The study involved 150 participants between the ages of 18 and 89. Participants recorded their physical activity and alcohol use in smartphones for 21 days at a time, during three different times throughout one year.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this study, people only have to remember one day of activity or consumption at time, so they are less vulnerable to memory problems or other biases that come in to play when asked to report the past 30 days of behavior,â&#x20AC;? Conroy said in a news release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think this is a really good method for getting around some of those self-report measurement problems.â&#x20AC;? Other studies examining similar topics found that people who exercise more tend to drink more alcohol, but the study did not yield the same results. In the future, Conroy hopes to look further into what prompts people to drink more on days they exercise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Perhaps people reward themselves for working out by having more to drink or maybe being physically active leads them to encountering more social situations where alcohol is consumed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know,â&#x20AC;? Conroy said in a new release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once we understand the connection between the two variables we can design novel interventions that promote physical activity while curbing alcohol use.â&#x20AC;? rebeccasavransky2015@u.northwestern.edu

Across Campuses Wesleyan will force fraternities to admit women HARTFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Wesleyan President Michael Roth has announced that the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residential fraternities must admit women and become â&#x20AC;&#x153;fully coeducationalâ&#x20AC;? over the next three years. Roth and the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board of Trustees president, Joshua Boger, made the announcement in an email Monday after a weekend retreat with the Board of Trustees. The decision comes after two high-profile lawsuits alleging rape in fraternity houses and after the Wesleyan

University student government called on the administration last spring to force fraternities to go coed or give up their houses. Kate Carlisle, spokeswoman for Wesleyan, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a change that Wesleyan has been thinking about for years,â&#x20AC;? and is not directly linked to any particular incidents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The move to coeducation is really all about inclusion,â&#x20AC;? Carlisle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about equity and very much in keeping with Wesleyanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tradition of equity and progressive leadership on gender equity and issues like this.â&#x20AC;? In their email, Roth and Boger said they â&#x20AC;&#x153;recognize that residential fraternities have

contributed greatly to Wesleyan over a long period of time, but we also believe they must change to continue to benefit their members and the larger campus community.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the organizations are to continue to be recognized as offering housing and social spaces for Wesleyan students,â&#x20AC;? the email continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;women as well as men must be full members and well-represented in the body and leadership of the organization.â&#x20AC;? Carlisle said the university, which is in Middletown, Conn., will work closely with the residential fraternities to ensure that the transition is as smooth as possible.

She said it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear how soon the fraternities would be asked to begin admitting women as part of the three-year transition. Carlisle said the administration also has several new policies that will be implemented immediately to make the fraternities safer. These include increased university oversight of the fraternities, more education about safety-related issues, and the elimination of rush or pledging for freshmen.

Council

DM Inclusion

Judy Fiske (1st) asked city manager Wally Bobkiewicz to address the issue in his negotiations with the department. Bobkiewicz told The Daily that citizens want to keep the mansion in the public domain mainly because of its lakefront location. If the city approves, IDNR would have to buy the mansion — instead of leasing it — because they must own the building in order to receive their external funding. Bobkiewicz proposed a 99-year lease to IDNR. Fiske said that he could negotiate a trial period lease of 30 years. Ald. Donald Wilson (4th) said the city should wait to hear an offer from IDNR before changing the parameters of the agreement because the offer could end up being different than aldermen initially expected. The council could end up negotiating against itself, he said. “If we try to write the whole deal now, you’re writing it in a vacuum,” Wilson said. “See what the offer is and go from there.” Council approved to continue negotiations 7 to 1, with Ald. Ann Rainey (8th) dissenting. Evanston Art Center executive director Norah Diedrich asked Council for a $500,000 loan for the center.

Fiske and other council members said they did not think there was enough information given to them to make a decision on the fund Monday night. It was approved 7 to 1, with Ald. Coleen Burrus (9th) dissenting, to direct Bobkiewicz to negotiate the terms of an 18-month loan with the center.

The group first announced its intention to be more inclusive during the summer, after many NU student leaders published a letter to the editor in The Daily in April. In the letter, student groups described DM as being difficult for many students to access. Gordon said the letter encouraged the DM executive board members to make inclusion a priority. The letter said the organization “privileges students with racial and socioeconomic advantages” as well as Greek affiliation. SESP senior Gram Bowsher, who signed the April letter as president of Wildside, said students’ complaints about DM 2014 highlighted that “there’s a gap on campus that needs to be filled.” “Many multicultural student organizations and other groups on campus are underrepresented in Dance Marathon,” Bowsher said. “Dance Marathon is just so Greek-dominated and a lot of students involved in multicultural groups on campus don’t necessarily feel like they could participate and raise the money.” The student leaders also created a Tumblr in the spring called “Bigger Than a Tent” that featured testimonials regarding DM’s diversity and inclusiveness. To make the $400 fundraising requirement more attainable for students of all socioeconomic backgrounds this year, DM will increase the number of canning days so students can have more chances to raise the money, Gordon said. The group will also add fundraising opportunities by adding “Munchy Mondays,” which will give individual students or teams a chance to reserve a spot in the Technological Institute lobby on certain Mondays to fundraise. Gordon said the board plans to secure several days for Munchy Mondays during Fall and Winter

Quarters. Gordon said the DM executive board hopes to expand funding for the group’s registration scholarship, which waives the $50 registration fee for students who are unable to pay. The scholarship was created last fall using Associated Student Government money. “I think it’s a very needed Many thing,” said Austin Romero, ASG multicultural vice president of student diversity and organizations inclusion. “We talk about (DM) and other groups being tradition, on campus are but in terms of access, a lot of underrepresented it has to do with in Dance Marathon. socioeconomic Gram Bowsher, status.” Wildside president The board has also been meeting with student leaders across campus to discuss inclusivity issues, which Gordon said he hopes will continue in the fall. “It’s important to get the change going and the conversation started,” Gordon said. “The entire executive board found them valuable. There were a lot of viewpoints I hadn’t considered before that made us more aware of these issues.” Sean McQuade, Wildside vice president of finance, who has met with DM executive board members before to discuss inclusion, said the new additions to fundraising are positive changes but may not be viable for everyone. “Fundraising with methods like canning is just hard for everybody to get the $400,” the Weinberg senior said. “When so many people are asked to raise $400 on campus, that can be tough because everyone is doing the same thing.”

The YWCA is the only place in the northeastern Chicago area that provides a wide range of residential domestic violence programs. They assist victims of domestic violence with legal advocacy programs, emergency shelter and other programs, director of domestic violence services Wendy Dickson said. “We have an emergency shelter where women and their children can stay with us up to 90 days, and they come from all over the country,” said Dickson. “We also have violence prevention programs from every grade from kindergarten all the way through college.” The community education programs the YWCA runs work alongside Northwestern to educate students about domestic violence. “Northwestern has paired with us for the past four years to provide dating violence training and service on campus,” Dickson said. If awarded the $100,000 prize money, the YWCA has plans to grow their services to help more women in more ways. “If we were to get the additional $100,000, we would be able expand our services specifically around advocacy,” McBratney said. “Legal advocacy and advocacy in hospitals are areas of growth for us right now.” According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, one in four women will be a victim of domestic violence in the United States. Ending the silence around the topic is vital, Garza said. “I think that there’s a lot of interest in having people address the issue,” she said. “I think the first step is to break the silence, and I’m hopeful that doing that, we can end domestic violence. But the first step is to raise awareness.”

National News Mississippi complaints could signal trouble for Obama’s global warming plans

WASHINGTON _ If the response from top Mississippi politicians to President Barack Obama’s central plan to combat global warming is emblematic, Republican-run states could wage a fierce fight against the administration’s proposed rule to slash carbon emissions from existing power plants by 2030. The state’s Republican senators have lambasted the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s proposal, which would require states to plan and enforce a 30 percent reduction in emissions from 2005 levels, most of which come from coal-fired power plants. Sens. Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker

contend that the rule would saddle Mississippi, one of the nation’s poorest states, with a crippling economic hit and that the EPA overstepped its authority under the Clean Air Act. Both senators are among the 31 Republican co-sponsors of a Senate resolution calling on the EPA to withdraw the proposal. Cochran supports “sound policies that would both reduce the risk of human-induced climate change and prepare our country for potential changes in climate, whether human-induced or not,” but not those that would hurt families or businesses, said his spokesman, Chris Gallegos. Wicker not only has contended that the proposed rule “could be disastrous for our economy, particularly in Mississippi,” but also accuses Obama of launching a “war on coal.” He is more

skeptical of claims about global warming, saying that “there has been no rise in global average temperatures over the past 17 years.” EPA cites a scientific consensus that carbon emissions are a major contributor to rising planetary temperatures since 1901, with seven of the 10 warmest years on record occurring since 1998. Power plants account for one-third of the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions, the agency says. The sheer scale of its proposal has led to widespread hand wringing. Last week, days after Cochran, Wicker and 51 other senators sent a letter appealing for more time for stakeholders to comment on the proposal, EPA extended the deadline by 45 days, to Dec. 1. — Greg Gordon (McClatchy Washington Bureau)

Cats bounce back Monday, finish 8th in Skokie By ALEX LEDERMAN

the daily northwestern

SKOKIE — Northwestern bounced back Monday after a rocky start Sunday to finish eighth out of 15 teams at the Windon Memorial Classic at the Evanston Golf Club. The Wildcats battled tough conditions and 18 mph winds on day one and came out on the losing end after 24 hours, placing 13th at their sole home event with a 20-over 580. Still, their 7-over 287 afternoon was significantly better than their last place 13-over 293 morning. “Obviously yesterday was disappointing,” newly named head coach David Inglis said Monday. “Coming into our home event, where we’ve practiced a lot recently and knew where the pins were going to be, we felt like we were really well prepared. But we got off to a sluggish start with that poor run yesterday morning, and it was hard to make up the ground yesterday because the course was playing difficult with the wind. We kind of shot ourselves in the foot.” NU rebounded on day two, though, surging to eighth overall (tied with Tulsa) with a final score of 22-over 862. “Our players really came out today and responded the way we asked them to,” Inglis said Monday.

“

We moved up five spots today, and it became a respectable tournament. David Inglis, coach

“We moved up five spots today, and it became a respectable tournament. Hopefully we can build off today. We’ve got a tough fall schedule, so our players are going to have plenty of opportunities to test themselves against some really good teams. They’ve got to remember what we did today and forget what we did yesterday.” Freshman Dylan Wu impressed in the final round with a 1-under 69, six shots better than Sunday. “He’s got a bit of a swagger,” Inglis said. “Especially for a freshman.” Wu credited his improvement to the team dynamic. “I definitely had a little jitters yesterday on the first tee,” he said. “But this is an atmosphere that I like a lot. It’s pretty unique in golf, realizing that it’s not an individual sport anymore. You’re playing for your university and you’re playing for your team. That’s what college golf is really about.” Wu said one of the main factors in his commitment to NU was its pair

of coaches: Inglis and Patt Goss. This is Inglis’ first season as head coach at NU after four years as assistant. He succeeds Goss, who is now director of golf and player development for the Cats after 22 years coaching. “The adjustment has been very smooth,” senior Scott Smith said. “Inglis has always been an incredibly influential part of the team, and I don’t think the rules have changed at all. It’s just a job title. Both of them have always been my head coach.” The challenge for Inglis this year will be managing his new talent. Wu isn’t the only new face in town. Two more freshmen join him: Charles Wang and Sam Triplett. “All three of them are going to contribute a lot to the team this year,” Inglis said. “The seniors have really got some work to do to keep these guys out of the lineup, which is good. We need that competition within the squad.” But these freshmen have big shoes to fill. “We lose Jack (Perry), who was an All-American, and we lost Matt Fitzpatrick, turning pro,” Inglis said. “They were our two best players last year, so it’s a great opportunity for the guys that maybe haven’t gotten as much playing time, and certainly for the freshmen to get in the lineup and get that competitive experience. They’ve got to see this

an opportunity.” And the freshmen certainly know the history of the program they’re stepping into and are ready for the challenge. “There are a lot of players that have gone through Northwestern that have done well and have become successful at golf,” Wu said. “I just use them as a stepping stone and as

role models. I know that after four years, players can become that good at golf and play at a professional level, so I’m pretty confident that if I keep on listening to my coaches and dedicating myself to the game, my dream in the future can be had.” alexanderlederman2017@u.northwestern. edu

Cats wrap up Wildcat Challenge Green Bay

With an underwhelming 1-2 on the season and the team’s offense sputtering, senior quarterback Trevor Siemian’s play has come under scrutiny. Siemian has completed a respectable 59.1 percent of his passes on the season but thanks to a diet of short passes, averages only 5.58 yards per average. Saturday’s win over Western Illinois was the epitome of the senior’s dink and dunk tendencies. Siemian completed 15 of 25 passes for only 117 yards, with a long of 21 yards and few other attempts downfield. At his weekly news conference Monday, coach Pat Fitzgerald addressed his quarterback’s struggles, attributing some of the issues to Siemian’s ankle injury, suffered Sept. 6 against Northern Illinois. “He’s coming off an ankle injury. He didn’t drive off his back foot,” Fitzgerald said. “He didn’t drive the ball. I’m proud of him for being out there. The reason why he played is he needed to be out there. We don’t have rhythm and timing right now as a skill group.” Siemian said his ankle didn’t bother him much Saturday, and he didn’t think the injury was preventing him from driving off his ankle. Senior receiver Tony Jones missed the last two games with an undisclosed injury but could return in coming weeks. Injuries to Jones, senior Christian Jones and junior Cameron Dickerson have somewhat stunted the rapport between Siemian and the receiving corps. Still, Siemian said he expects the issues in the passing game to be worked out eventually. “It’s coming along,” the quarterback said. “The last two weeks we kind of did a better job of finding that rhythm. We’re coming along, and we’re getting there. By no means are we a finished product now.”

Chris Gradone’s big week

Praise for Ifeadi Odenigbo

On Sept. 12, during NU’s bye week, junior punter Chris Gradone received some big news: He would be awarded an athletic scholarship for the 2014-15 year. “I was ecstatic,” Gradone said. “It was right before our bye, and I was planning on going home to surprise my mom. I came home, she was really surprised and then I told my parents I got the scholarship. It was a great moment.” Eight days later, Gradone — who earned the starting job late last season — had the best game of his college career, pinning the Leathernecks deep in Cats territory. For the performance, the junior was named Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week. Gradone said the scholarship helped his confidence entering the game against Western Illinois. “I don’t know whether it directly carried over,” he said. “But it was definitely a boost.”

Sophomore defensive end Ifeadi Odenigbo had a breakout game Saturday, with two sacks and three forced fumbles. “He’s improved a lot since he’s gotten here,” senior left tackle Paul Jorgensen said Monday. “From a technique standpoint, he used to be a guy that could run around anybody in high school and make plays, and now he’s become a technician and is running around guys.” Fitzgerald said Odenigbo, who didn’t start playing football until his sophomore year of high school, still has room to improve but is “working his fanny off.” “Ifeadi’s got a ton of desire. He’s got a ton of passion,” the coach said. “He’s just got to continue to get stronger and get more technically sound. … He’s realized this isn’t just about talent. It’s about talent plus technique.” NU plays at Penn State on Saturday. asputt@u.northwestern.edu

Northwestern (10-1) defeated Green Bay (2-9) on Sunday with an easy three-set victory (25-12, 25-14, 25-18). With the win, the Wildcats improved to 2-0 alltime against Green Bay. The Cats pounced on the Phoenix quickly. After opening an early 8-point lead, NU cruised through the first set, stifling the Green Bay counterattack and limiting them to only 12 points in the opening set. Freshman Symone Abbott led a well-balanced Cats attack with a team-high 11 kills. NU had a total of five players with 5 or more kills. The Cats did not make it easy for Green Bay to score in the match. NU matched their 41 kills with 41 digs, led by senior Monica McGreal with 10 digs. The Cats had the whole court covered, as 10 players registered at least one dig. The first set was a warm-up compared to the play for the Cats in the second set. NU increased its hitting percentage to a whopping .455, while holding Green Bay to a dismal -.154 in the second. The Cats had success with sophomore Candice Yager on serve throughout the match including 2 aces during a 9-point run midway in the set. Green Bay kept it close for most of the third set before NU pulled away. Senior Katie Dutchman ended the match with one of her three blocks. The Cats controlled the net most of the match. The stingy NU defense held Green Bay to only 44 points over three sets, the lowest total for a Cats opponent this season. It is this type of team defensive effort that the Cats will need going forward into a brutal Big Ten conference schedule. There are currently six Big Ten teams ranked in the American Volleyball Coaches Association

poll top 20. NU has only been able to reach double-digit conference wins twice under coach Keylor Chan (10 wins in 2002 and 2005). However, the Cats’ last trip to the NCAA tournament was in 2010 after starting the season 10-1. NU can expect to take its share of bumps along the way, but it is up to the senior-led Cats to weather the storm. “All of our seniors have come in in a different way (this year),” Dutchman said last week. “Monica is the vocal leader. She keeps everyone focused and pumped up, and (redshirt junior Caroline Niedospial) is the silent leader.” As the Cats prepare to open the Big Ten slate against Rutgers on Friday, they can be proud of All of our what they seniors have accomplished in come in in a nonconferdifferent way ence play thus far. this year.
