The long and winding road to legalizing food trucks in Evanston. BY ANDIE LINKER
Gabriel Wiesen and James Nuccio tried to bring their gourmet donut truck, Beavers Donuts, to Evanston in 2011, they ran up against a six-year-long ban on food trucks. But after a four-year lawsuit, Wiesen and Nuccio triumphantly rolled out Beavers Donuts on the streets of Evanston on June 13, and more food trucks have followed. Before, food trucks without a brick-andmortar restaurant in Evanston were banned from city limits. The Evanston City Council set the food truck regulations in 2010, according to Evanston’s Assistant City Attorney Henry Ford. The city worried that Evanston restaurants would lose business due to the the competition from food trucks. But in 2012, Beavers Donuts sued the City of Evanston, arguing the limit was unfair. “This restriction serves no health or safety concern; rather, it exists only to protect established restaurants from competition,” they claimed in their initial complaint filed on Aug. 7, 2012. “We decided to bring a lawsuit to Evanston on the basis that their provision that anyone who wanted to operate in Evanston needed to have a brick-and-mortar location was just blatant protectionism and served absolutely no purpose to protect the welfare or the common good of anyone else,” Wiesen says.
ILLUSTRATION BY MISSY CHEN
Then, on Sept. 11, 2012, the City of Evanston filed a motion to dismiss the Beavers Donuts complaint. Evanston made the case that, to put it simply, Beavers Donuts didn’t have a case and that their lawsuit was riddled with mistakes. Beavers Donuts had never even tried to apply for a permit to operate in the City of Evanston, the dismissal stated, and therefore they couldn’t know whether or not they would be allowed to operate. Wiesen, however, says Beavers was indeed applying for a permit. He wanted to work alongside an Evanston brickand-mortar location, which Beavers Donuts thought would be A-OK. The City of Evanston also argued the restriction was fair, based on home rule, which basically means the city must show its loyalty to brick-andmortar restaurants that are owned and operated within city limits. But Wiesen wasn’t having
this dismissal. Thus began Wicked Wiches parks on a four-year back-and-forth Chicago Avenue near Allison case of Beavers Donuts filing Hall every weekday during a complaint, and the City of lunch time. “It’s going to be a good Evanston fighting right back. “Food trucks don’t option for students to eat compete for the same between classes,” says Medill sophomore customers.

Evanston finally gave in business has been picking this summer, making it much up steadily since Beavers easier for food trucks without was officially licensed this a brick-and-mortar location to summer. They’re working get a permit to sell treats on on assigning one food truck permanently to Evanston, so the streets of Evanston. Since school came back Northwestern students can into session, students continue to eat their feelings have spotted the Beavers in the form of fresh, hot Donuts truck frequenting donuts every morning. ♦ Northwestern hotspots like Clark Street outside Burger Isabella Jiao contributed King.

“Every time I struggle as a student, I go to this automatic place of thinking maybe I’m not good enough. Maybe the reason I’m here is because of affirmative action,” he says. For Vinson, an industrial engineering major and ASG executive vice president, negative thoughts automatically spring to mind when reflecting on his time at Northwestern. He ticks off the difficulties he has had to overcome in McCormick, from a lack of representation in the classroom to few resources for students of color. Vinson doesn’t mince words when summarizing his experience as a Black STEM student. “Unhappiness,” he says. “Desolation.”
In November 2015, Northwestern appointed students to the Black Student Experience Task Force, assembled to better understand and improve Black undergraduates’ experiences at the university. The report, published in September 2016, illustrates the feelings of discontent, struggle and isolation that Black students experience throughout their time at Northwestern. The report makes plain that Black students’ experiences of campus life diverges from other groups on campus, despite the narrative of inclusion often put forth by the university. The report came on the heels of student activists storming a donor event in the Henry Crown Sports Pavilion last November to protest the university’s plans to move administrative offices into the Black House, a historically important building for Northwestern’s Black community. In front of a stunned, silent crowd, the activists
Fall 2016 | 41
demanded that the administration listen to the needs of students of color. Black Lives Matter NU, a group involved in organizing the protests, released an initial list of 19 demands shortly after the protest, which grew over the next few months. Three of these demands specifically addressed the experiences of STEM students of color. One called for upgrading the computers in spaces like the Black House with the software Vinson and other students need to complete their work. Another urged an upgrade to the shared meeting space for the National Society of Black Engineers, Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers and Society of Women in Engineering – professional societies that work toward creating a community of support for minority engineering students. A third demanded a minority STEM Office in McCormick to support and assist STEM students of color. The requests are simple, but the report shows why they matter. Satisfaction rates for Black seniors have dropped 29 percentage points from 41 percent in 2010 to 12 percent in 2016, while satisfaction increased for white, Latino and Asian students. When task force focus groups asked students to list three adjectives that they believe best describe Northwestern, some of the most frequently used words included “competitive,” “stressful,” “segregated,” “hostile” and “exclusive.” In general, STEM students of color (Black and non-Black) say they feel disproportionately less prepared, lack the resources for the help they need and ultimately feel unrepresented in McCormick classrooms. To be fair, McCormick isn’t easy for anyone. Vinson points to a “weedout culture” thanks to the difficult

engineering curriculum that affects the well-being of students. With the average freshman taking a load of “essentially” five classes – chemistry and chemistry lab, Engineering Analysis, math, and Design Thinking and Communication – it’s easy to feel that if you can’t handle the load, you’re not fit for the program. When talking about her freshman year, NSBE’s NU chapter president Bobbie Burges says the intensity of the program and the initial sequence doesn’t leave room for first-year students to develop a passion for engineering. “I wouldn’t say they’re trying to leave you high and dry,” the McCormick junior says. “You just have to learn how not to be left high and dry.” For students of color, however, other pressures pile on top of this already heavy load. Magan Omar (McCormick ‘16), who studied computer engineering, remembers how demanding his classes were and how difficult it was to focus on his studies as news headlines about police shootings proliferated, making it hard for him to focus on anything. But like Vinson, he worried that if he didn’t perform at a high level in his classes, he would play into the stereotype of being a token for diversity. “When I asked a question in front of my EA 1 [Engineering Analysis] class or if I answered the question wrong, I didn’t want to be the dumb Black kid,” Omar says. “That perception and that mindset made me [not want to] ask questions at all, to always appear that I’m smart and I deserve to be here.” McCormick also tends to assume that the majority of its students have had access to lab activities in high school, says Raul de la Rosa, president of NU’s SHPE chapter. This assumption can leave behind students who don’t have much lab experience, or who are entering a lab for the first time. “You go through very difficult classes and when you’re coming in from high school, especially if you’re coming in from a high school where they didn’t really offer a whole lot of AP [Advanced Placement] programs and IB [International Baccalaureate] stuff, it can be a really quick change,” de la Rosa says. This discrepancy in experiential knowledge also has the potential to intimidate or deter students from pursuing a particular field of STEM. “It’s designed where unless you had higher education or a background in what you’re studying, it’s extremely hard to kind of pick it up from scratch,” Vinson says. “So like for students who’ve never done coding before, imagine the burden it is to be a computer science major.”
Whether it’s feeling unprepared, underrepresented or overlooked, there is no one universal experience for students of color in McCormick; but, across the board, the same sentiments are echoed. “I don’t think anyone’s outright said anything demeaning to me about being a female or being a Latina, but it’s something unspoken you feel,” says Jennifer Delgado, a McCormick junior studying mechanical engineering. “You notice it because you feel your experience doesn’t really match anyone else’s.” Bigger and Better Resources One item on BLMNU’s list of demands, the relocation of NSBE, SHPE and SWE’s shared office space, seemed oddly minor and specific when compared to calls for preserving the Black House or upping the Black student population. But the cramped office in the basement of the Ford Design Center was due for an upgrade, organization members say. At times, the room meant for three large student organizations was mostly used for storage, only able to fit about a six-person study session among leftover meeting snacks and boxes of extra T-shirts. “We’ve all voiced our concerns that the space in the basement of Ford just wasn’t really working for us,” says Michelle Wang, president of NU’S SWE chapter. “It wasn’t doing what it needed to do. It wasn’t a community space.” The administration listened. The space was moved during Winter Quarter 2016 to a much larger office on the fifth floor of Tech. Now, it has both a meeting area and a separate study room. Doodles and complex equations cover the whiteboards lining the classroom. There’s a bookshelf full of textbooks and a clear view of the Bahá’í House of Worship. The snacks and T-shirts have been relegated to a small curtained storage space outside of the office. This relocation came about after conversations among NSBE members, McCormick seniors involved with BLMNU and several administrators within McCormick. These included Dean Julio Ottino and Ellen Worsdall, the assistant dean for student affairs and adviser to SHPE, NSBE and SWE. Worsdall says she was impressed with her fellow administrators and how quickly they moved to establish this new space. “Really positive things can come out of protest and I think it’s unfortunate that it had to get to that level,” she says. “But as it got to that level, it allowed people to have more honest and frank conversations, and I think that’s awesome.”
Systems of Support Burges almost switched out of McCormick during her first year. She was struggling in her math class, and with an already heavy course load, she felt she didn’t have the necessary time to devote to it. When students have difficulty understanding or keeping up with the work in a class, it can be enough to discourage students from pursuing engineering, she says.
But then Burges found NSBE. With a smile on her face, she says that it was because of her involvement in NSBE and how much she valued it that she decided to stick it out in McCormick and continue on her path to becoming an engineer. “I think for me it was super encouraging to see others get through the curriculum and succeed because it was motivation for me to do the same,” Burges says. As a first-year McCormick student, being overwhelmed is far from uncommon. For de la Rosa, having an organization like SHPE to turn to for help was crucial for him to get through his first year. “If you’re struggling in a class, that could be all it takes for you to think, ‘Okay I’m not cut out for engineering,’ or ‘I’m not cut out for STEM, let me switch, let me drop out,” de la Rosa says. Organizations like NSBE, SHPE and SWE look to build community within their respective student populations in McCormick. Students have voiced a need
for these spaces where they are surrounded by others like them, especially since there are few students who look like them or share the same experiences as them. This desire to see themselves represented extends beyond the student body, however. After the protest, conversations about diversifying the faculty of McCormick were reignited, as one demand called for an overall increase in faculty members of color at Northwestern. Worsdall explains that while there may be a lack of diversity among faculty, the true problem lies in that few students of color go through graduate school with the intention of becoming professors. She says that throughout her 15 years of experience, she’s only known of two former NSBE students who have gone on to become faculty members. “You can’t force people to pursue it, but I think we can encourage students to think about it,” she says. This is where these pre-professional organizations can come in. NSBE, SHPE and SWE work to close the gap for students of color in higher education by connecting undergraduates with job opportunities. SWE’s undergraduate career fair, which is the largest technical career fair on campus, was created to extend professional opportunities to women in engineering. NSBE and SHPE have junior chapters at high schools like Evanston Township High School, and these three organizations intend to reach high school students of color and motivate them to take an interest in STEM fields. Worsdall says this outreach can help to diversify McCormick and STEM fields as a whole, especially when high school students see people who look like them pursuing STEM fields. “We can change the statistic, because you could look at the statistics and just feel like ‘why bother?’” says Worsdall. “We want students to believe in themselves
because you can make effective change, and we all have a responsibility to help foster a community that allows students to achieve whatever their goal is.” Bio&ChemEXCEL, a program specifically targeted at incoming STEM students of color, is a five-week program the summer before freshman year aimed at “promoting diversity and inclusion” within McCormick. Omar, who participated in EXCEL before entering Northwestern, attributes his success during the program to working in a comfortable space and being surrounded by people with similar backgrounds. In order for students of color to succeed, Vinson says McCormick needs to make sure first year students know about what resources are available to them to ensure they persist and graduate with the major they entered with. Beyond communicating resources, the creation of a minority STEM office within McCormick, as demanded by BLMNU, would provide spaces of support at the administrative level for students of color. Burges says that when she’s attended NSBE conferences, she would hear other students talking about their schools’ minority STEM offices and wondered why McCormick didn’t have an office specifically serving the needs of students of color. Despite the progress McCormick has made, de la Rosa says the school still has a long way to go. And in order to truly ensure its student experience is a successful, engaging and inclusive one, Vinson says McCormick must follow through on its commitments to not just achieve equality, but ensuring that every student in STEM fields has equal access to resources and equal opportunity. “Equality doesn’t necessarily mean that everyone has an equal chance to succeed in the situation,” he says. “Rectifying that by listening to students and understanding what their needs are is the best way to solve it.” ♦

ow do you feel right now? Angry, mad, enraged? Sad, abandoned, ignored? Maybe fearful, anxious and overwhelmed? Whatever it is, Bria Royal’s Pocket Healing Zines ask you to pause, breathe and say out loud: “Right now, I feel _________.” Royal (Comm ‘16) calls her wallet-sized pamphlet “My Unapologetic Emotional Awareness Guide” and offers it for free on her website. It’s meant to give marginalized communities the chance to work through “moments of overwhelming emotion,” a tool to let readers confront adversity head-on. Royal has been diagnosed as bipolar, a disorder she says limits her ability to give to social justice movements in physical ways, such as marching in the streets. Instead, her art is her mode of resistance. Royal hopes her zines can help others find better methods of self-care, or the practices people use to ensure their well-being. Toward the end of the zine, she offers some examples: taking a nap, cooking from scratch, coloring, making some noise, even sexual fantasies. The guide concludes with four blank boxes for readers to fill in with their own ideas. “I know what seeing what my self-care practice looks like might help someone else figure out what their self-care practice wants to look like,” she says. The concept for her self-care zine series came to her while she was taking psychology classes and seeing a therapist at Northwestern University. Though she was thankful to be exposed to so many mental health resources, she felt that they were too individual-focused. In contrast, the Afroindigenous spiritual practices she learned growing up on Chicago’s West Side taught her to see her well-being as connected to the health of her community. “I wanted to make those contents [of the zines] a little more community-focused, putting into practice the restorative justice and transformative justice things I was talking about outside of class,” Royal says. “I wanted to integrate those components a little bit better, but in a way that’s accessible to anyone.” She hopes her art will empower others to seek support from their communities, an aim that directly challenges the isolating tendency to treat mental health struggles as a personal problem on Northwestern’s campus. Now graduated, Royal, who is AfroLatina, works with For the People Artists Collective, a radical Chicago-based group of artists of color ”actively envisioning a world without prisons or police.” Her involvement in activist communities pushed her to reconsider how mental health is traditionally understood, and the friendships she’s cultivated through protests and organizing have helped constitute a support system.

Angel Ayon Fall 2016 | 49
At Northwestern, Royal learned how much she needed her friends in order to survive the pressure of school, especially during the quarter she dropped most of her classes and went home with two weeks remaining. This support system is crucial to Royal’s version of self-care; her zine asks readers to write down friends they may turn to in these kinds of difficult situations. Two people Royal would have contacted are Weinberg fourth year Angel Ayon and Weinberg junior Marvin Sanchez. Over the past few years, their friendships grew from the organizing, protesting and educational work they have done together with different campus social justice groups. Ayon, who uses they/them/their pronouns, identifies as a queer Chicanx, a political identity for a person of Mexican descent invested in indigenous politics. On campus, they have organized with MEChA and Students for Justice in Palestine, two of the key groups involved with the NU Divest campaign. In Winter Quarter 2015, the campaign successfully pressured ASG to pass a resolution urging the university to divest from any holdings tied to corporations that profit from business operations in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. But after, Ayon took a medical leave of absence near the end of the next quarter to escape a campus they described as “toxic.” They returned for Fall Quarter 2015. Back at Northwestern, Ayon keeps Royal’s zines on their bookshelf and uses them while journaling. “Bria just went and put everything that no one’s been able to articulate in those,” they say. “How did this mini zine just fuck us all up?” Sanchez, who identifies as Latino, has been involved in a number of social justice organizations. During the Unshackle NU campaign, he led a presentation on immigrant detention centers, and worked on its marketing and design team with Royal. He is also involved with MEChA, a Chicanx student group, and is the special projects coordinator for Alianza, the Latinx student alliance, a role he stepped back from last Spring Quarter and then returned to in the fall. In separate interviews, NBN talked to these three activists about their individual mental health experiences and their approaches to taking care of themselves. While their experiences and opinions are solely their own, they challenge the norm that a “successful” Northwestern student must feel overwhelmed and isolated and, most of all, constantly productive. Certain themes emerged: the importance of support systems, the willingness to step back, a focus on healing. Their work as activists engages a community, and so do their approaches to self-care.

AA: At the beginning of each year Alianza and For Members Only have their own first-year welcoming and give advice to the first years. There’s always some upperclassmen that’s like, “Take care of yourself, cause things are going to get hard.” It’s both a warning, but it’s also a “I’m not going to tell you how hard it’s actually going to be, but I’m letting you know that it’s going to be hard.” BR: The school is very active in perpetuating a system in which students are expected to stretch themselves until they break, and once the students the break, this university is not accountable. MS: There’s this inherent shame [at Northwestern] in saying “I’m not OK.” While student activist organizations are as demanding as any club, they recognize a need for mental wellness. MS: I would definitely say that people do think about mental health when people are organizing, and people in these spaces think about and talk about actively, at times, the mental exhaustion that can occur when you are actively organizing. BR: I think in particular with students of color or people who come from groups that are marginalized by their identity, there’s a big emphasis on interdependency that runs counter to the independence that’s promoted by the university, by society, by capitalism, that “look out for yourself only” kind of attitude. MS: Doing organizing work is very mentally exhausting, so sometimes you’re removing something that’s causing you toxicity. I think sometimes people read activist spaces as pure spaces, and that’s not necessarily true. Sometimes an activist space can become toxic, and your removing yourself from it for your own safety is a form of self-care. BR: There can be times where it feels like I missed an action, all of a sudden I feel like I’m not contributing to the movement anymore. We need to make more diverse ways to make people feel like they’re a part of the movement and feel like they’re moving the movement forward, because not everybody can be out in the streets for hours and hours every time something happens.
MS: I think stepping away is a form of self-care, because it’s saying that I’m not OK. Instead of pushing myself through a very agonizing thing and compromising my own health, I’m gonna remove myself from the situation so I can fully take care of myself better, so that I can listen to what my body needs, what my mind needs. BR: I’d get involved in groups where if somebody didn’t respond to a Doodle, then everyone’s, all of a sudden, angry. Now we’re starting to realize our first response shouldn’t be, “Why isn’t this person contributing? We have all this work to do.” I think now our first response is “OK, is this person OK? This isn’t really like them. What’s happening that might make this overwhelming for this person?” AA: Someone was like, “Hey, you talk a whole lot about self-care, but I don’t see you practicing it anymore.” And I was just like, “You’re right, I haven’t.” In my year to take care of myself and center me, I haven’t been practicing it. How do I be out here preaching to others if I’m not doing it? BR: We’ve realized we will not win if we’re all dead, if we’re not taking care of each other. It’s important for people to realize that it’s difficult work and to not pretend it’s not. If we’re not alive, we can’t achieve anything. This sense of community emerged from and as a reaction to their upbringing. MS: At the end of the day, it’s a hard thing to help and say I need help. I will attribute that a lot to my upbringing, and how a lot of Latinx families stress this kind of pride that you don’t need anybody, that you can do this yourself. BR: Living on the West Side of Chicago ... there was definitely these norms in our community around being hard, around hiding your emotions and basically not giving your emotions time to marinate or even communicating them to other people. If you’re going through something, you’re kind of expected to figure it out. It sounds very harsh, but looking back it was definitely evident that those were survival mechanisms. That defensiveness was a survival strategy for where we grew up.
MS: I come from a working class family from southern California, and mental health isn’t necessarily talked about. I had never seen a therapist, never really understood what anxiety or depression were. So for me, when things started to happen to me, and I started to understand I wasn’t OK, I didn’t really know where to turn to. I feel like a big chunk of my trauma and things that I have to work through is wrapped up in my identity, so for me when I was talking with that [Northwestern] therapist it was difficult to divulge very intimate things that happened based off my ethnicity, my race, my socioeconomic status. AA: I was definitely raised with this motherly, nurturing role that we see of moms taking care of everyone else and never taking care of themselves. I’ve always prided myself in being that mothering friend that always has my friend’s backs. I put everyone’s self-care above my own, so these past three years, I’d go from one friend to one friend to one friend every day. I wasn’t doing my homework because my friends were struggling and they needed someone to talk to. This morning, I woke up and was like, “Fuck, I don’t want to go. I don’t want to go to class, and I have this interview, I have to get up.” And I’m in the shower, and I broke down. I broke down ‘cause all the negative self-thoughts came, and then I was like, I’m crying in the shower, literally stereotypically-ass crying, and then I was just like, “I need to make a change. You are worth it, and you need to change your life. You are worth it.”... It gets me out of that negative space. MS: You’re kind of in this weird place where you’re struggling. I always characterize it as where I’m drowning and I don’t know what to do, and then on top of drowning you feel too ashamed to call out for help, you know? BR: We treat issues that people face with mental health, or the harm that they’ve experienced and the healing they need after that harm as their special case, like it was a cut instead of a disease, and an entire body is meant to run that way. MS: A lot of things in my life are always double-edged swords, Northwestern definitely being one of them. It definitely has opened things up that I had shut closed, and it has also provided me some added trauma that I’ve had to navigate, but it’s also forced me to really take a step back, look at myself and say, “OK, how do I get better, and how do I start this?” So in my experience, that’s been one of the hardest parts, just letting folks know, “Hey, I’m not OK, I need to step out, I can’t do this right now.” AA: So my favorite form of self-care is
breathing, just breathing. Stopping and realizing, “hey, you’re here, you’re alive, slow down. slow down, what’s going on? Today’s been hard. Okay. What are you going to do about it? You can’t do nothing about it right now? Fine. Close your eyes, take three big breaths, and just sit. Just feel, and sit.” I have a little bottle of essential oils. Grapefruit, citruses are really good for depression. Grapefruit is my favorite. Once I smell some grapefruit, I just perk up. So my favorite blend is a rosemary-grapefruitorange blend. Part of divestment, and my depression, is I started forgetting things. Like, I don’t remember yesterday. I don’t remember a few hours ago. I just don’t form memories anymore. So the grapefruit will get me out of it and calm me down, but the rosemary will help me remember things. It switches me from being on autopilot to intentional things, and that’s what my self-care is all about – love, and being intentional, and being an active participant in life. BR: With self-care, for me it’s mainly about love being turned inward, and just expressing unconditional love for yourself. It’s not just mental even, it’s physical, it’s all aspects of my health. I write a comic series about being bipolar, and that brings comedy into it almost. I’m OK laughing at myself sometimes. I need to laugh at myself sometimes. Like I need that tension relief, you know? I make animations and things like that, which kind of get at my more personal things and connecting it right back to the community. MS: A lot of my self-care is doing things that are not necessarily productive in any form, just giving myself space to kind of step back in, recenter myself, refocus myself, enjoy things that I want to enjoy. When I’m stressed out, I take a shower, because for me warm running water makes me feel better, or I’ll take a shower and I’ll wrap up in blankets and watch a movie. I think self-care is doing something I enjoy, with no strings attached. A big part of my self-care comes in the form of anti-productivity, because I feel like at Northwestern, and in bigger societies when we think of universities, there’s always this need to be productive. Everything needs to yield some type of productivity. BR: Sometimes, you know, it’s a fine line between self-care and indulgence, and I question my self-care practices all the time. Like, yeah, I smoke weed. We do all these things to self-medicate ourselves, whether that’s binge watching Netflix or whatever your indulgence is. MS: In all those situations that I’ve been
in activist communities, I never felt like if I left like I was going to get in trouble, or there was going to be a consequence if I was trying to take care of myself. I’ve never seen a situation in which somebody stepped out and somebody else was like, “you’re not committed” or shamed them for not participating in the ways they expect them to. I think a lot of work in healing is allowing yourself humanity and allowing yourself to feel like a human being. You’re a human being and just because you have mental health issues, just because you’re not performing at your peak, doesn’t mean that you’re any less valuable or any less intelligent. AA: My success as a self-care advocate is truly building community and loving on the people around you. I feel like a lot of people feel like they don’t have friends, or they have people around them but they’re not their friends. But you can love on strangers. My life is based in love, and taking care of others. BR: I have been harmed, and I’ve also caused harm, but all harm is deserving of healing, it’s kind of an affirmation I’ve been promoting. ♦
