Two men arrested for shooting Northern Star staff
DeKalb | Two arrests have been
made in connection to an offcampus shooting reported to have occurred 3:24 a.m. Saturday in the 1000 block of Ridge Drive in DeKalb, according to a DeKalb Police news release. Cordero Jackson, 20, was charged with unlawful use of a weapon, obstruction of justice and possession of a firearm without a FOID card. Jackson was arrested Saturday, according to the news release.
Maurice Williams, 20, was charged with aggravated battery with a firearm, unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon and two counts of aggravated discharge of a firearm. Williams turned himself into DeKalb Police on Sunday, according to the news release. Both individuals were unable to post bond and are being held at the DeKalb County Jail. An investigation discovered a fight broke out at a party in the 1000 block of Ridge Drive and a
male pulled out a handgun and fired at several people, according to the news release. A female victim, who had been shot, was taken to Kishwaukee Hospital as police arrived on the scene. The victim’s injuries were not life threatening. The suspect then entered a vehicle which was later found unoccupied. Shell casings and other evidence were found on the scene. A handgun, believed to be used in the shooting, was recovered by police, according to the news release.
Egyptian Theatre in need of grants Egyptian | From Page 1 As a result of the semester changing, a separate group of students will be working on the actual proposal of the grant, Schatteman said. The first step for NIU students this semester will be to write a letter of inquiry to the grant-funding agency, Schatteman said. “[The letter of inquiry] goes from the organization to the funding agency to determine if they do meet the funding requirements and ask any outstanding questions,” Schatteman said. “If we get positive feedback from the funder, then they will proceed with the full application.” Once the letter of inquiry is submitted, the review process for the grant can take anywhere from three to nine months, Schatteman said. “The review process for the grant will likely extend beyond the length of this particular course,” Schatteman said. “We won’t find out until the course is over if the grant has been reviewed and funding approved.” Another necessity for the
Egyptian Theatre to operate is volunteers, Schatteman said.

“We get [former students] who come in and say, ‘Oh I went to school for four years at NIU, and I never knew the Egyptian was here’. It breaks my heart that people don’t take advantage of the [Egyptian Theatre]... Because if you don’t [use] it, you’re going to end up losing it.” Nora Reeves, Egyptian Theatre box office director
“They are almost an entirely volunteer-run organization,” Schatteman said. “They rely on volunteers to clean the theater, to run the concession stands, to greet patrons at the door, so they are always in need of more volunteers to help out in that aspect.” For NIU students, volunteering is extremely easy and can be completed by going to the Egyptian Theatre’s website, and adding yourself

to their email club. Being a volunteer also comes with added perks such as attending the theater’s show for free, said Nora Reeves, box office director of the Egyptian Theatre. “If the general public wants to get involved, [then] attend shows,” Schatteman said. “But also consider writing donations to the theater to allow them to do free or very low cost programming to other community members like school groups and other folks who really need to have access to the theater but maybe can’t afford the full ticket price.” To raise awareness, NIU students and members of the community may go in to take a tour of the theater, for free, every Tuesday 2-6 p.m. and every Thursday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Reeves said. “We get [former students] who come in and say, ‘Oh I went to school for four years at NIU, and I never knew the Egyptian was here,’” Reeves said. “It breaks my heart that people don’t take advantage of the [Egyptian Theatre]... Because if you don’t [use] it, you’re going to end up losing it.”
