Alice Millar vandalism case to continue in Cook County Court By MADELINE FOX
daily senior staffer @maddycfox
The two Northwestern students charged with felony vandalism in connection with the Alice Millar Chapel graffiti are set to appear in Cook County court next month, after a court hearing on March 15 at which only one appeared. At the hearing, Weinberg freshman Matthew Kafker requested and was granted permission to return to his family’s home in Swampscott, Massachusetts provided he returns to Skokie for his court dates. The students’ next court date is set for April 28. Kafker and Weinberg freshman Anthony Morales, who did not appear for the March 15 hearing, were released earlier this month on bond, a spokeswoman for the Cook County Sheriff ’s Office said. Morales’ lawyer could not be reached for comment. The bonds for Morales and Kafker were set at $50,000 each, with 10 percent posted for their release from custody, Cook County Sheriff ’s Office spokeswoman Sophia Ansari told The Daily in an email on March 13. The students were charged with institutional vandalism, hate crime to a place of worship and criminal damage to property in connection with graffiti found in Alice Millar Chapel. The graffiti included a swastika, male genitalia and the word “Trump.” It was painted in various parts of the chapel and religious center, including

Northwestern gets historic number of applications By DAN WALDMAN
the daily northwestern @dan_waldman
Northwestern’s acceptance rate dropped once again this year, with the University only admitting 10.7 percent of applicants. NU accepted 2,690 students to the class of 2020 from the Regular Decision pool earlier this month, adding to the 1,061 students the University admitted through Early Decision. The University’s admissions rate declined 2.3 percentage points from last year, marking the seventh consecutive year the acceptance rate has dropped. Along with its historically low admissions rate, NU also set a new record for total number of applications received with 35,099 — an increase of roughly 9.5 percent over last year’s total. Christopher Watson, dean of undergraduate admissions, said the University
accepted about half as many students through Regular Decision as it did five or six years ago. He said this class was one of the most qualified application pools ever, and the smaller freshman class — which will shrink from 2,025 students to 1,925 students for the Class of 2020 — forced the University to make challenging decisions. “The academic quality is just phenomenal,” Watson said. “We had some very difficult choices to make because of that. We could have admitted several other classes just based on the quality of the students we couldn’t admit, but it was for just lack of room.” University spokesman Al Cubbage said having a smaller freshman class size allows the University to allocate more resources to each student, providing a better first-year experience. Cubbage said during the past few years, the University has overshot its 2,025-student benchmark, resulting in a larger-thanexpected freshman class.
“This is an effort to make sure we’re at the size that we feel is ideal,” he said. Following Early Decision admissions, the University had already filled more than half of its incoming class. NU also admitted a record number of international and Chicago Public Schools students during Early Decision. Watson said after the Regular Decision process, the University either broke or nearly broke the record for the most international students accepted in a class, and NU did set a new mark for Chicago Public Schools students accepted. But Watson said the main focus during the application process was making NU more inclusive. “We certainly were focused heavily on — with all of the initiatives — recruiting … students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds,” Watson said. “We did, despite one of the lowest Regular Decision admit » See ADMISSIONS, page 8

Council approves Ryan Field renovations By NORA SHELLY
the daily northwestern @noracshelly
City Council supported plans for Northwestern to renovate the Ryan Field west parking lot Monday night despite initial objections from the community. The final plan, which was worked on by Ald. Eleanor Revelle (7th), NU officials and Evanston residents who live in the neighborhood adjacent to the lot, increases the number of parking spots, replaces the lot’s lighting and adds additional sidewalks around the lot, among other improvements. Residents, who said they have long dealt with the negative effects of living next to the stadium, had expressed concern at first with the increase in parking lot lighting, the

members, though, put together an organized effort to revise the plans in conjunction with NU officials and the council, and many felt pleased with the final product. “The plan as it is now is perfectly fine,” Rosinski told The Daily. “It is collaborative, everyone gave something … everyone feels like we can be really good neighbors now.” The revised plans hope to address some of the issues neighbors had by reducing the height and illumination of light poles throughout the lot, as well as increasing the amount of vegetation that will be planted between the alleyway and the parking lot. Additionally, a fence will be installed that will block off the parking lot from the neighborhood. Some residents raised concerns at Monday’s meeting that the revised

Evanston police officers responded to a call around 5:35 p.m. reporting a deceased subject in the basement of the building in the 1200 block of Harvard Terrace, Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said. The man, who has since been identified as 19-year-old Star I. Paramore, was shot in the head, Dugan said. Police are investigating the death as a homicide and are working in conjunction with the North Regional Major Crimes Task Force.

Tisdahl discusses gun violence at annual address By MADELINE FOX
daily senior staffer @maddycfox
Evanston faces challenges with gun violence and the absence of a state budget, but the city is taking steps to address them, Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl said March 18 at her annual State of the City address. The mayor discussed violence in the city, highlighting the death of Curt’s Cafe graduate Benjamin “Bo” Bradford-Mandujano, in her speech at the Hilton Orrington, 1710 Orrington Ave. Bradford-Mandujano was fatally shot Jan. 15 in the 1300 block of Darrow Avenue. The same day as the 20-year-old’s funeral, Tisdahl said, shots were fired near Family Focus and the Fleetwood-Jourdain Community Center. “Shots did not used to be fired near community centers. Shots were not fired at three in the afternoon — shooters did not want to hit their little sister, nephew, cousin or friend’s child by mistake. Now they don’t care,” Tisdahl said. “We need to acknowledge a serious problem in Evanston and we need to work together to solve it.” Tisdahl highlighted Evanston’s outreach programs and her Summer Youth Employment Program as efforts to combat violence, but stressed that Evanston needs to be “smarter” in its violence-reduction methods. To that end, she said, director of the city’s health and human services department Evonda Thomas-Smith requested three Centers for Disease Control and Prevention interns to study violence as a public health problem in Evanston. Though the request was denied, Tisdahl said the city’s health and human services department has assigned its current intern to look into the issue while the city continues to push for CDC input. In addition, the Mayor’s Summer Youth Employment Program, which offers summer

jobs to Evanston students, will add 600 additional jobs at Six Flags Great America thanks to an agreement with Metra to offer reduced fares for participants, Tisdahl said. Tisdahl said the city had 685 students applying for the 650 placements already offered prior to the Metra agreement. “Best practices tell us that providing a
thousand summer jobs will reduce violence,” Tisdahl said. Having more jobs than applicants this year is “historic,” she added. Tisdahl also discussed the state budget impasse and its effect on Evanston. With Illinois in its ninth month without a budget, Evanston is addressing the possible budget cuts by including $1.5 million in the
2016 city budget to cover possible reductions in state revenue, she said. Tisdahl acknowledged the uncertainty created by the budget stalemate, but emphasized the cautious measures Evanston is taking to account for it. “Local government is still functioning regardless of what happens at the state and federal level,” she said. “Democracy needs an activist and sometimes an enraged citizenry, and we have that.” Ald. Delores Holmes (5th), who attended the luncheon, said she felt the city was handling the situation as best as possible. “I think Evanston is OK, but things would be much better if we had a (state) budget,” Holmes said. Tisdahl announced the recording studio in the Gibbs-Morrison Cultural Center, 1823 Church Street, will be named for Holmes, thanks to a $25,000 donation from Northwestern. Naming the space after Holmes, who will not seek re-election to the 5th Ward aldermanic seat at the end of her term next year, was NU’s only requirement, Tisdahl said, praising University President Morton Schapiro for picking “the very best name” to put on the studio. Tisdahl also discussed Evanston’s environmental efforts, its debt levels and its business climate — the city welcomed 67 new businesses in 2015, up from 43 new businesses in 2014, she said. City manager Wally Bobkiewicz said the state of the city is “strong,” but praised Tisdahl’s address as a reminder to community members of areas in which it can improve. “The mayor really sets out a vision for the community, and when you have all the community’s leaders here, it’s sort of a shot in the arm for all of us to go out and continue to make Evanston the spectacular place it is,” he said. foxm@u.northwestern.edu

Szot receives four years probation By MADELINE FOX
daily senior staffer @maddycfox
WHEATON, Illinois — Former Northwestern student Michael Szot was sentenced March 10 to four years of probation including one year of periodic imprisonment for aggravated driving under the influence in the car accident that killed an NU student and another passenger. During his periodic imprisonment, Szot can leave prison for work, school or community service. He must report to jail April 4. He must complete 200 hours of community service in the form of speaking engagements about his accident, and he will be monitored to ensure he is not using alcohol or drugs. Szot, who has not attended NU since before the July 19, 2014 accident, was a rising McCormick senior when the accident occurred. He pled guilty to one count of aggravated DUI causing death in August 2015 after initially pleading not guilty. Szot drove his car into a water-filled quarry after drinking with the car’s two passengers at a bar in Naperville, Illinois. Szot escaped the car and survived, but Mihirtej Boddupalli, who was also a rising McCormick senior, and Sajaad Safiullah Syed, a 21-year-old Naperville resident and

friend of Boddupalli’s, both died in the crash. Under his guilty plea, Szot could have served from six to 28 years in prison, but was eligible for probation if the judge found extraordinary circumstances in his case. Judge Brian Telander cited letters written on Szot’s behalf by former teachers, bosses, friends and community leaders testifying to Szot’s character in his decision to sentence Szot These were the to probation. Telander also noted wishes of Mihir Szot’s lack of violations and Sajaad, since the incident, and I’m glad we his cooperation with police, his history of could be here volunteering and his to support what academic record — he is now enrolled at the they wanted. University of Illinois at Dhruv Boddupalli, Chicago — as factors in brother of Mihirtej his decision. Members of the Boddupalli victims’ families were present at the March 10 hearing, where Szot’s therapist, the police officers who responded to the scene and one of the detectives who took Szot’s confession testified. Both victims’ families met with Szot on March 9 at his lawyer’s office in a meeting requested by
Boddupalli’s mother, said his lawyer, Jeff Fawell. Both families advocated for leniency in Szot’s sentencing during the hearing, and embraced Szot after the judge ruled to give him probation. “His remorse and his apologies are tremendous,” said Dilshad Ikramullah, Syed’s mother, during the hearing. “I could not imagine separating a mother and her son.” Fawell said he’d never seen anything like the lengths both families went to on Szot’s behalf. “They wanted to be there for Michael and to be in court with him,” Fawell told The Daily. At the time of the accident, Szot’s blood alcohol content was 0.14. The legal limit is 0.08. Szot also admitted he smoked marijuana prior to the accident, and one of the witnesses at the March 10 hearing testified to finding marijuana paraphernalia in Szot’s possession. Dhruv Boddupalli, who read a statement at the hearing by members of his family that recalled memories of his brother and urged leniency in Szot’s sentencing, said he was pleased with the judge’s decision. “These were the wishes of Mihir and Sajaad, and I’m glad we could be here to support what they wanted,” he told The Daily. “We know Mike will honor their lives by continuing his.”

Organizers opted for a conversation with
Bernanke, rather than a typical lecture, to create a more dynamic experience for audience members, Eichenbaum added. Although the event is still being planned, it will also include an opportunity for audience members to ask their own questions, he said. “(Students) may not agree with Ben, but it’s the essence of what a great university is about — to give students access to people whose ideas and actions really mattered and are shaping their lives,” Eichenbaum said.

Importance of maintaining optimism in sports, life DANNY COOPER
DAILY COLUMNIST
For once in my life, my beloved New York Mets enter the impending season as one of the favorites to win the World Series. This has not happened too often in my fandom, and the general mood of the fanbase is unnervingly, unusually positive. And though I know everything may and probably will go wrong, I will try to enjoy the ride. It’s not as if the other teams I supported then and still root for now are much better: the butt-fumbling Jets, the Applying melodramatic Knicks this principle to and the never-quitegood-enough Rangers. the rest of life is Even the team I most perhaps more recently adopted, the Northwestern Wildchallenging, cats, has historically but also equally been somewhat of a rewarding in laughingstock, with the men’s basketball team some cases. never having appeared in the NCAA Tournament. However, out of all of my favorite teams, the Mets have forever been the most ridiculed. Since their inaugural season in 1962, when the Mets finished with a historically terrible 120 losses, the on-field product has been consistently mortifying — until last year, when the Mets overcame offensive futility and the occasional sobbing player to win the National League pennant. For me, a situation like this actually working out was incomprehensible. So accustomed to the disappointment of the past, I never expected the Mets to actually succeed. Instead, I had adjusted my expectations to include the possibility of soul-crushing defeat around every corner. Though I am not completely rid of that attitude by any means, the 2015 Mets season reintroduced me to the belief

My Judaism and Zionism are inextricably linked to each other
I did not hesitate to vote yes for Unshackle NU’s divestment resolution, especially after Jessica Schwalb’s call to Jewish students to “reenter campus activism” in spite of antiIsrael rhetoric. However, it is important to note that growing up and listening to my family tell stories about Israel made nothing seem more beautiful than the one Jewish
The Drawing Board
that my team could overcome the odds and actually compete. It’s an attitude I hope to embody in my NU fandom and my NU life. Yes, as I mentioned before, the men’s basketball team has never made the NCAA Tournament. And the football team’s surprising season came to a disappointing end in the Outback Bowl loss. But looking at NU athletics through an optimistic lens enables one to enjoy individual accomplishments and games without stressing too much over the frequently underwhelming end-of-the-season standings. Take the women’s basketball team. The season as a whole might be viewed as a disappointment, as the Cats were ranked as high as No. 12 for a time before struggling their way through conference play into a first round exit at the WNIT. However, such a pessimistic viewpoint negates the impact of the impressive run the team made through the Big Ten Tournament. Though they could not overcome Maryland, the Cats’ run through fierce competition was unlikely and inspiring, and one which could be enjoyed despite the end result. Allowing yourself to believe in the possibility of something spectacular occurring can make the sting of disappointment a little less sharp. After a 10-win season, NU football will face higher expectations than perhaps ever before, but with a daunting schedule, it seems unlikely the Cats will match that mark. Some have already crossed out away dates at Michigan State, Ohio State and Iowa as losses, and they may very well be blowouts at that. But believing NU has the ability to beat the powerhouse teams of the Big Ten will make those games that much more enjoyable, even if the Cats cannot pull off the upsets. Applying this principle to the rest of life is perhaps more challenging, but also equally rewarding in some cases. Something being unlikely is
not a reason to avoid supporting it; in fact, it means your support is that much more valuable. Believing in a cause and fighting for it helps it become more real. Opening Day in the MLB is filled with hope, some of it misguided and most of it temporary. However, there is a chance my hope will be realized this year. Even if it’s not, though, I know this will be a season I enjoy because I’m going into it with optimism. After surviving through Winter Quarter, Northwestern students should try to approach the spring with the same mentality.
State in the world. And for me, to be Jewish is to be a Zionist. When Unshackle NU and Northwestern Divest published a letter that “condemned” the linking of these two identities, I came to question, maybe even regret, my decision. My regret for voting yes does not stem from the debate over the amendment I supported, but as a result of the grossly overgeneralized letter published by Unshackle NU and NU Divest. To claim that Judaism is only a “religious identity” overlooks those who identify as culturally Jewish. Israel is by no means perfect, but failing to provide context for uninformed readers is appalling. How can I support a movement that
“condemns” my inextricably linked Jewish and Zionist identities? How can I support a movement that alienates and polarizes a group of students? Why would I vote to support a movement that doesn’t know the difference between religious Judaism and cultural Judaism? The fact that I did support a movement that is now shamelessly disparaging Zionists saddens me. Coming into college, I hoped to enter an environment where I could further develop my personal relationship with Israel through dialogue and debate with students of different identities and perspectives different than my own. I did not imagine this dialogue to
take form in an over abundance of Op-Eds and Letters to the Editor. How far am I, and other Zionist students, going to allow this vehemently anti-Israel and anti-Zionist rhetoric be tolerated? Where is the line going to be drawn? For me, it is drawn at the publishing of a letter that actively dismisses and derogates my beliefs and those of numerous Jewish students on this campus, is misleading and atrociously culturally insensitive. Amidst everything, one thing is made clear to me: Zionist solidarity is not welcomed. So I ask you Jessica Schwalb, what is your advice now?

Clinton, Trump secure wins in Illinois primaries By MARISSA PAGE
daily senior staffer @marissahpage
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and Republican candidate Donald Trump won their parties’ respective primaries in Illinois on March 15. Trump finished with just under 39 percent of the vote, followed by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) with about 30 percent. Clinton held out with a slight lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) with just more than 50 percent of the vote. Trump and Clinton also won the North Carolina, Missouri and Florida primaries March 15. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) suspended his presidential campaign after Trump won in Florida. Gov. John Kasich and Clinton took Ohio. As of Monday, Trump held 738 of the necessary 1,237 delegates needed to secure the Republican nomination, with Cruz trailing in second with 463. Clinton leads the
Democratic race with 1,243 delegates of the 2,383 needed; Sanders has 975. Clinton and Sanders both held campaign events in Evanston the week before the primaries. On March 8, former President Bill Clinton stumped for his wife at Beth Emet Synagogue, 1224 Dempster St. Three days later, members from indie rock band Vampire Weekend, along with Sanders campaign staffers, led a march from the Northwestern Phi Gamma Delta house to the Evanston Civic Center to encourage NU students to cast primary votes. Weinberg senior Kevin Cheng, president of NU Students for Hillary, introduced Bill Clinton on March 8. He challenged the perception that young Democratic voters gravitated toward Sanders over Clinton. “When it comes down to it, Hillary goes much more to the heart of the (issues),” Cheng told The Daily after the event. “I would encourage people to cut through the media dialogue and stereotypes about Hillary.” Both candidates repeatedly thanked their
supporters in speeches March 15. Hillary Clinton faced a particularly close contest in Illinois where she was leading by 42 points earlier this month, according to a Chicago Tribune poll. The gap narrowed significantly in later polls, with a March 11 CBS poll putting Sanders ahead by 3 points. In light of her victories, Clinton turned the focus of her speech toward the presidency. She said if elected, she would prioritize Americans’ safety and promote individual welfare. “You know, running for president is hard,” she said. “But being president is harder. It is the hardest, most important job in the world.” Four days before the primary, Trump canceled his appearance at a rally at the University of IllinoisChicago following protests at the event. He did not acknowledge the incident in his speech from Florida, and spoke instead about the media attention his campaign has received. In his speech, Trump called journalists “disgusting,” but also said coverage has resulted in increased voter turnout.
“We have to bring our party together,” he said. “We have something happening that actually makes the Republican party probably the biggest political story anywhere in the world… millions of people are coming in to vote.” In local races, Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) won the Democratic nomination for the 2016 Illinois senate race, beating challengers Andrea Zopp and Napoleon Harris (Communication ‘02). Duckworth will go up against incumbent Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) for his seat in November. Additionally, Kim Foxx beat out incumbent Anita Alvarez for the Democratic nomination for Cook County state’s attorney. Brad Schneider (McCormick ’83, Kellogg ’88), who served in the House of Representatives from 2013 to 2015 before losing his seat to Rep. Bob Dold (R-Ill.) (Kellogg ’00), won the Democratic primary in Illinois’ 10th District, which encompasses a significant portion of the North Shore.

providing for more than 349,000 meals, Miller and Harris said. “By being here in this tent, you are showing families in need that Northwestern will not be complacent,” Harris said. “We will stand up for them.” Blessings in a Backpack CEO Brooke Wiseman addressed the dancers following the presentation of the checks. Wiseman thanked those involved for their support of her organization and emphasized the impact of the funds raised. “This is going to make a magnificent difference in the lives of children across this country and we will never forget it,” she said. “You’re hooked to us for life.” The team of Delta Gamma, Zeta Beta Tau and Alpha Iota Omicron won the large group category with a record-breaking $179,374.10 raised. Kappa Delta and Sigma Nu won the medium group category with $42,504.08 raised and Freshman Urban Program won the small group category with $12,893.42 raised. Delta Gamma president Sophie Bartolotta, a Medill junior, said it was an incredible experience benefitting an organization that would help children in Evanston. “I’m so excited — this was a yearlong effort that took a lot of teamwork and reaching out to family and friends,” said Bartolotta, who participated in DM for the first time. “It wasn’t a surprise that we won, but it was a surprise by how much we beat our old record. … Last year we raised around $141,000.” As the 30-hour marathon came to a close, Whicker reminded the more than 1,000 dancers and committee members why they took up the cause in the first place. “Blessings in a Backpack isn’t just about food,” she said. “It’s about hope.” rishikadugyala2019@u.northwestern.edu ericasnow2019@u.northwestern.edu

The organization provides weekend meals to students who would otherwise not necessarily have food for 65 hours. “You’re giving kids like me a chance,” Whicker said. “You’re giving hunger-free weekends and a chance for a better life.” As DM came to a close, the finance committee revealed this year’s grand fundraising total: $1,201,216. The total surpassed last year’s fundraising mark of $1,130,979, but fell short of 2014’s record of $1,385,273.

Catherine Whicker’s childhood home was a trailer near a set of Indiana railroad tracks. Whicker, her two siblings and her single mother relied on governmental aid to put food in their stomachs and sometimes didn’t even have water to drink because of rust. “We had to go to school with dirty hair and dirty clothes,” Whicker said. “A lot of times we struggled with having enough food. There are a lot of families that struggle like this.” Whicker, who now works with Blessings in a Backpack, spoke to dancers about her experiences with food insecurity and the kind of

An 18-year-old Evanston man was shot and killed on March 23 just south of Howard Street, the border between Evanston and Chicago, police said. Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said the shooting occurred in the 7400 block of Ridge Avenue. Chicago police officers responded to the call. The man has been identified as Antonio Robert Johnson by city officials and multiple news outlets. Dugan said the Evanston Police Department is unsure whether he resided in the city at the time of the shooting. — Marissa Page

on the organ in the Jeanne Vail Chapel. University Chaplain Timothy Stevens, who discovered the graffiti, said it was “disturbing” to see the words and images painted around the chapel. “It was just kind of like ‘oh my goodness, this is really hideous,’” he said. “My first thought was I need to report this and we need to get it removed.” Stevens said Facilities Management worked quickly to clean away the graffiti, with most of it gone before the middle of the day on March 11 — fortunate, he said, because the chapel hosted an event at 12:45 that afternoon. Associated Student Government released a statement following the incident, saying the graffiti was a “targeted act of violence.” “This act of vandalism was flagrant and visible, but the hate it symbolizes occurs in subtler, but just as insidious ways on our campus too,” the statement said. “Our fight as a representative institution for equality, racial justice, for safe spaces, must not only be reactionary.” NU Hillel also issued a statement echoing University President Morton Schapiro’s email condemning the graffiti as an “an abhorrent act of vandalism” on March 11. “Northwestern Hillel joins President Morton Schapiro and the entire Northwestern community in expressing shock and dismay at the abhorrent act of Islamophobic, racist, homophobic, and anti-Semitic vandalism committed last week in Alice Millar Chapel,” the statement said. “Hillel is committed to building an inclusive, empathetic, and compassionate Northwestern community.” Morales and Kafker have been placed on interim suspension, which prevents them from being on campus, University spokesman Bob Rowley told The Daily in an email March 12. foxm@u.northwestern.edu

plans might still provide for a permanent walkway from Livingston Street to Ashland Avenue and said it would encourage fans to park in the neighborhood as opposed to the designated parking lots near Ryan Field or elsewhere in Evanston. Other residents said the walkway would place an unfair burden on residents of Livingston Street and would increase the amount of light and noise that enters the neighborhood from the lot. “We’re not a shortcut, we are a neighborhood just like every one of your neighborhoods,” Rosinksi said at the council meeting.

fence along the alley and the exclusion of a pedestrian walkway, which was approved by the council. A few residents said the walkway would have been a positive addition to their neighborhood because it would allow them to take a shorter path to games. “From a design perspective, I think the walkway made good sense,” Revelle told The Daily. “But from the impact on the immediate neighborhood … that was the primary decider for me.” Former 7th Ward Ald. Jane Grover spoke at the meeting in opposition to the continuous fence and said although she understands residents’ concerns, the pedestrian walkway would not lead to problems.
“We’re talking about pedestrians here, we’re not talking about motorcycle gangs, we’re not talking about anything other than people wanting to get to the athletic facility,” she said. “A permanent fence that will block access to the lot … is going in the wrong direction.” Revelle said the final plan for how long or tall the fence would be will be determined at a later date, likely when many of the landscaping plans are finalized. She added that she was happy with how the revised plan worked out. “Northwestern was wonderfully responsive to neighbor’s concerns,” Revelle told The Daily. “It’ll be the lowest illuminated parking lot in the country, practically.” norashelly2019@u.northwestern.edu

In Case You Missed It
Northwestern to create new investment committee By MADELINE FOX
daily senior staffer @maddycfox
Northwestern will create a committee on socially responsible investment to advise NU’s president and chief investment officer on issues related to the University’s investment activities. The committee will include alumni, students, faculty and staff, University President Morton Schapiro and Chief Investment Officer Will McLean announced March 8 in an email to students involved in divestment issues and members of Associated Student Government. Schapiro, who will co-chair the committee with McLean, noted many of NU’s peer institutions have created socially responsible investment committees — including Williams College, where he served as president before coming to NU. “I’ve always supported (the creation of a committee),” Schapiro told The Daily on March 8. “It’s a great learning experience for us and it’s a great way for the student voice to be heard.” Three student groups at NU are currently pushing for divestment. Northwestern Divest is pushing for divestment from companies it says are responsible for human rights violations in Palestine and Unshackle NU, which formed in January, is asking for divestment from private prisons and companies it says contribute to the prison industrial complex. Fossil Free NU’s campaign centers on divestment from coal and other fossil fuels. All three have advocated for the formation of a socially responsible investment committee. The administration’s announcement, though, was met with negative reactions from divestment group members. Christina Cilento, a member of Fossil Free NU who received the email, said she was “blindsided” by the announcement, about which she said she has reservations. “What we’re concerned about most, in terms of involvement, is our three divestment campaigns being involved in the process moving forward,” the
SESP junior said. “Our main concern is that they’re going to implement the socially responsible investment committee without really involving any of us.” Cilento said she was also disappointed by the wording of the email, which discussed in multiple paragraphs the purpose of the university’s endowment and the importance of maintaining a “diversified portfolio of investments” before announcing the plan to create a socially responsible investment committee. Weinberg junior Marcel Hanna, a member of NU Divest and Unshackle NU, said no members of either group received an email from administrators regarding the planned creation of the committee, though another student later forwarded it to him. University spokesman Al Cubbage said McLean sent the email to students the investment office had been dealing with directly on issues of divestment, while Patricia Telles-Irvin, vice president for student affairs, sent it to ASG leaders, he said. Cubbage said administrators had hoped students would “share the good news.” Though Hanna said Unshackle NU has not had the opportunity to meet with members of the investment office, he added NU Divest had its first meeting with McLean last spring. He and Cilento were disappointed more students involved in divestment campaigns did not receive the email from administrators. McLean was not available to comment at the time of the announcement. Hanna said NU Divest led the push for a socially responsible investment committee in order to prevent future socially irresponsible investments and to provide an easier path for future student divestment movements. Hanna said he was unhappy with the committee as proposed, calling it a quick-fix solution. “The university threw us a bone to have us stop asking for this, but we can see this is not going to amount to any tangible change,” he said. “The only thing this committee is doing is giving the university the ability to say they are working toward diversity and social responsibility, but they’re not.” foxm@u.northwestern.edu

Win over ranked Michigan highlights mixed stretch By MELISSA HANIFF

Softball
Daily file photo by Lauren Duquette
A-MAIZE-ING Kristen Wood winds up and delivers. The senior pitcher struck out six batters in her last start against Georgia Tech.
The Wildcats defeated No. 2 Michigan in a wild 13-12 victory Friday, earning a signature win against one of their toughest competitors in conference play and highlighting their last two weeks of Spring Break play. Northwestern (10-18) began the break in Florida at the USF Clearwater Spring Break Tournament, where the Cats faced five teams over three days of play. After the tournament, the Cats stayed to take on South Florida before heading to Michigan for a weekend series. Despite the Cats’ win-loss record, the team’s toughness was on display throughout all nine games played during the break, with the Michigan win a possible sign of things to come. On March 18, NU started out with a huge win over Quinnipiac, which the Cats run-ruled 10-0 after five innings. Their second game of the day featured a tough LIU Brooklyn defense that thwarted the Cats’ attempts at offense. Heading into the fourth inning with a 5-1 lead, the Blackbirds were able to come away with a 7-3 win. The next four games were close: After beating Lehigh 2-0 on Saturday morning, the Cats dropped three straight to Kent State, Georgia Tech and South Florida, all by scores of 3-2. NU then headed to Ann Arbor, Michigan, commencing Big Ten play against perennial powerhouse Michigan in a weekend series. After falling behind by 6 runs before the fourth inning of Friday’s match, the Cats went on to score 13 runs over
the next three innings to complete their surprising comeback 13-12. Freshman pitcher Kenzie Ellis led NU on the mound, throwing 142 pitches over 5.2 innings and allowing no runs in the fifth and sixth innings. The Cats’ bats also came alive against the Wolverines, with freshman third baseman Morgan Nelson bringing in 4 RBIs and sophomore centerfielder Sabrina Rabin going 3-for-5 with 2 runs and an RBI. With strong momentum after the huge win, the Cats then faced Michigan twice more before the weekend was up. Saturday’s game started out with a bang, with senior shortstop Andrea Filler hitting a homer to left field and bringing home sophomore left fielder Krista Williams. NU’s lead soon evaporated, with the Wolverines scoring 5 runs to end the first inning. A dinger to center field by junior first baseman Alcy Bush brought the game within 2 runs, but Michigan scored 6 more, run-ruling the Cats 11-3 after five innings. The Cats faced the same fate Sunday, dropping the last game of the series to the Wolverines by a score of 11-3 after six innings. Michigan started off hot with a 5-0 lead after two frames, but NU fought back, scoring 2 on a Wolverine error. Another Bush homer brought the score to 6-3 in the fourth, but Michigan followed suit, scoring 5 more runs to end the game in six frames. With the Michigan series a reminder of the Cats’ ability to win big, NU will look to challenge No. 22 Minnesota, another Big Ten powerhouse, in this weekend’s series in Evanston. melissahaniff2016@u.northwestern.edu

Nia Coffey garners AP All-America Honorable Mention award
Junior forward Nia Coffey received an honorable mention All-America nod by the Associated Press, the AP announced Monday. Coffey became the third player in program
history to be given the honor. She averaged a team-leading 20.3 points per game in her junior campaign and was previously named to the All-Big Ten First Team by both coaches and media. She also averaged 9.8 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game, both also team highs. During the season, Coffey led the Big Ten in double-doubles with 18, scoring in double figures in every game this season and playing
a focal role for NU on both sides of the court. She also set the Cats’ single-season rebounding record, logging 344 boards on the season. The junior recently led an NU squad seeded No. 12 in the Big Ten Tournament to the semifinals, scoring 18, 25, 26 and 31 points in the team’s four contests, and taking on an even heavier burden than usual after junior guard Maggie Lyon missed the tournament with a lower body injury.
She also notched 20 points, 11 rebounds and five blocks in the Wildcats’ season-ending first-round WNIT loss to San Diego. Coffey is the first Wildcat to be named an All-American since 2010, when Amy Jaeschke — who became the first person in program history to be selected in the WNBA draft — was given an honorable mention nod. — Garrett Jochnau

Walk-off loss wraps up rough road schedule for NU By MAX GELMAN
daily senior staffer @maxgelman
RJ Watters had just saved the Wildcats — for a moment. The junior left fielder left his feet at the warning track, preventing what would have been a leadoff extra-base hit in the bottom of the 9th as Ohio State threatened to steal a series win from Northwestern (6-18, 1-2 Big Ten). Ohio State (14-7-1, 2-1) had split the first two games with the Cats and trailed 4-3 when Watters made his leaping catch. “It’s funny, that kid plunked one down the line earlier in the game in foul territory where I dove and I just missed it,” Watters said. “So coach shifted me over a little bit … and (the batter) was able to put his hands out and get one up, and immediately in my mind I was thinking, ‘I don’t care if I’m running into this wall, I’ve got to get this ball.” Unfortunately, it was all for naught. Three batters later, after junior reliever Pete Hofman recorded the second out and walked center fielder Troy Montgomery, right fielder Jacob Bosiokovic yanked a fastball over the left field fence to give the Buckeyes a 5-4 win in Sunday’s rubber game. Bosiokovic’s walk-off heroics embody NU’s struggles over the past two weeks. Since starting the season 4-4, the Cats have lost 14 of their last 16 games, and their six overall wins are second fewest in the Big Ten. Coach Spencer Allen attributed his team’s

Allen specifically pointed to last week’s sweep at the hands of Cincinnati as a “snapshot” of NU’s woes. “When you’re inconsistent it’s going to be Ashley Deary, there was not much for the Cats to hang their hat on stats-wise. A 3-of-14 shooting night from junior guard Christen Inman, tagged with a 6-of17 performance from Coffey set the tone for a 25-of-64 outing for the team. With NU eliminated from postseason play, the team will have to look forward to next season, when Coffey, Deary and Inman are seniors. khadricerollins2017@u.northwestern.edu
hard to string games together,” Allen said. “We lost four 1-run games (since the beginning of the Cincinnati series) and good teams find a way to go 2-2 in those 1-run games, at least, and we just haven’t done that.” Despite Sunday’s heartbreak, the Cats played

Weisse is averaging 7.63 saves in her first eight games and after the game against Colorado, she is fourth among all freshmen nationwide in saves per game.

some of their best baseball against the Buckeyes to open up the Big Ten portion of the schedule. All three games were decided by three runs or less — Friday and Sunday were both 1-run contests — and some semblance of a pitching rotation took shape, something that wasn’t entirely possible before the weekend. For example, sophomore pitcher and former football player Dan Kubiuk started against the Buckeyes on Sunday and threw the ball well. Kubiuk lasted 5.2 innings, surrendering only four hits, although two were solo home runs. Now lined up to be NU’s Sunday starter, Kubiuk said he was pleased with his outing, and the team’s performance, even though the Cats ultimately lost. “Our pitching coach, coach (Josh) Reynolds just told me ‘Be aggressive and just do your thing,’” Kubiuk said. “We just had an unfortunate outcome at the end, we all thought the game was ours … but we tip our cap to them.” After what seemed like an eternity, NU will finally head home to christen its newly-renovated stadium, Rocky and Berenice Miller Park. The Cats’ face Chicago State in their home opener Wednesday afternoon. And while Sunday’s loss will continue to hurt, NU will continue to look forward. “The Big Ten season is what’s important for us,” Watters said. “To come out and play this well this weekend and not get that win, yeah it’s going to sting, but at the end of the day we’ve got to look at the positives and know that we competed hard.” maxgelman2018@u.northwestern.edu Although NU only conceded four draws to the Buffaloes, Colorado still finished with more shots than the Cats, outshooting the team 23-21. NU’s defense allowed its opponent to claw its way back into the game, making it a 7-6 game with 8:20 left in the contest. But the Cats were able to hold on. NU continues play on Thursday against topranked and undefeated Maryland.

We just couldn’t get to the rim. We played a lot of east-west instead of north-south. — Joe McKeown, women’s basketball coach

HOPES DASHED Northwestern’s season ends in
WNIT as comeback bid falls short By KHADRICE ROLLINS
daily senior staffer @khadricerollins
If you’re going to lose in March, might as well do it at home. Northwestern (18-17, 4-14 Big Ten) limped to the finish line of a disappointing season as it was eliminated in the opening round of the WNIT by San Diego (24-7, 13-5 West Coast), 69-65, at Welsh-Ryan Arena. In the team’s fifth-consecutive game without senior guard Maggie Lyon, the Wildcats were unable to find any offensive production in a contest San Diego controlled from start to finish. It was a sloppy opening frame for the Cats as they had six turnovers in the game’s first 10 minutes. The visitors capitalized off these mistakes to the tune of 8 points off turnovers in the first quarter. To make matters worse, NU failed to control San Diego’s penetration and allowed 12 points in the paint. “The biggest thing was we couldn’t make shots, we couldn’t get out in transition,
because they were scoring,” coach Joe McKeown said. “And we just couldn’t get to the rim. We played a lot of east-west instead of northsouth. (It) forced us out of our offense.” The Cats shot just 4-of15 in the first quarter, and although they had 8 points inside, that was all of their scoring for the period. Down 18-8, NU’s defense amped up the pressure in the second, but to little avail. With less than 3 and a half minutes remaining before halftime, the Cats trailed by just 9. After the team corralled a rebound, junior forward Nia Coffey sprinted past the pack upcourt and found herself at the rim with a chance to supply NU with a rare fastbreak bucket. But Coffey’s shot never found the bottom of the net, rolling on top of the rim before spilling over the right side of the hoop where San Diego collected the board, helping to create its 24-17 edge in the first half on the glass. Despite forcing seven Torero turnovers in the quarter and holding their opponent
to 4-of-14 shooting, the Cats could not make a dent in the lead. Thanks to a myriad of their own errors, the hosts trimmed their deficit by just 1, and trailed San Diego by 9 heading into the break. Whether it was missed layups, inadequate rebounding or errant passes, NU found plenty of ways to dig its grave even deeper. In the second half, the Toreros continued to do just enough to keep the Cats off guard, and were able to immediately extend their lead. After going 5-of-9 on 3-pointers in the first half while NU made just one, San Diego found more success from behind the arc to start the third quarter. A pair of 3-pointers from guard Cori Woodward had the Toreros holding a 17-point lead less than 2 minutes into the half, 40-23. San Diego’s lead grew to as large as 21 early in the fourth quarter as the Cats failed to put the ball in the bucket while showing little ability to control the opposition’s Keshia Johnson/The Daily Northwestern

Poor shooting dooms Wildcats in loss to San Diego By BENJY APELBAUM
the daily northwestern @benjyapelbaum
Nearly two weeks after Northwestern’s dramatic Big Ten tournament run ended at the hands of Maryland, the Wildcats’ offense started too slowly for a fourth quarter run to win them the game. NU (18-17, 4-14 Big Ten) was unable to find the bottom of the basket for much of the game and 15
turnovers did not make it any easier for the Cats. They shot just 11-of-45 from the field in the first three quarters and a 14-of-19 fourth quarter left them 4 points short against the Toreros (24-7, 13-5 WCC). “We just had so many great shots, some layups at the rim just didn’t go in,” coach Joe McKeown said. “I would trust those players taking the same shots.” The team has struggled to find consistent scoring from anyone outside of their big four of juniors
Christen Inman, Ashley Deary and Nia Coffey and senior Maggie Lyon and Lyon’s continued absence with a foot injury put more pressure on the other three. Deary, Coffey and Inman combined for 49 of NU’s 65 points. However, Inman had an off-game offensively shooting just 3-of-14 for 6 points after she scored the same number in the game against Maryland. As a result, Coffey and Deary were forced to shoulder the load with 20 and 23 points, respectively. The difference for much of the
game was the 3-point shooting as NU shot just 1-of-7 from deep through three quarters while the Toreros made 7-of-12. Because NU was unable to force San Diego to guard them on the 3-point line — the Toreros were in a 2-3 zone — San Diego kept their players close to the net and prevented the Cats from making easy baskets. Through the first three quarters, the Cats only scored 30 points which put them down by 18. Ultimately, fourth quarter 3s
from sophomore Lydia Rohde and freshman Jordan Hankins were able to open up the Toreros’ zone at the beginning of NU’s fourth quarter run, but it was too late for the Cats to extend their season. The Cats finished the fourth quarter with 35 points. “(Not making three pointers) gave San Diego a chance to really make it congested when we tried to attack,” McKeown said. benjaminapelbaum2019@u.northwestern.edu
Fredericks, Weisse dominate in pair of Spring Break games By DAN WALDMAN

SOPHOMORE STAR Shelby Fredericks fights with an opposing player for the ball. The sophomore scored four goals over Northwestern’s last two games.
Despite going 1-1 over Spring Break, Northwestern showed a renewed sense of urgency, taking its toughest opponent yet into overtime and rolling over another formidable opponent. The No. 7 Wildcats (4-4) split a pair of games against then-No. 4 North Carolina (8-2, 2-0 ACC) and Colorado (7-2, 2-0 MPSF) over the break. Prior to the team’s matchup against North Carolina, NU handled then-No.10 Stony Brook in a pivotal 7-6 victory to give the Cats their second top-10 win of the season. But the team’s momentum proved insufficient to handle the scorching hot Tar Heels. The Cats fell at home in dramatic fashion to North Carolina on March 20, tying the game with only five seconds remaining in regulation and losing in overtime on a devastating quick start goal. NU started strong, but the Tar Heels scored 4 consecutive unanswered goals
to finish the first half, giving the squad a 6-3 lead. The second half was an entirely different story. The Cats came out of halftime firing on all cylinders, scoring 4 straight goals to give NU a 1-goal lead. However, North Carolina’s fast-paced offense flustered the Cats defense, allowing the Tar Heels to score 2 goals in just 11 seconds to regain the lead. With the team trailing by 1 goal with only 21 seconds remaining in the game, freshman goalie Mallory Weisse launched a perfect pass right to the stick of sophomore midfielder Shelby Fredericks, who sprinted down the field. The sophomore then dished the ball to junior midfielder Catie Ingrilli, who fed cutting sophomore attacker Selena Lasota to even the score at 8. Although Fredericks dominated draw controls for most of the game, the sophomore couldn’t continue her success in overtime. North Carolina attacker Kelly Devlin beat Fredericks on the opening draw control of overtime and ran a flawless fast break, before being fouled. Following
the foul, the Tar Heels capitalized on the restart, setting up attacker Aly Messinger for the game-winning goal. Although the Cats did not come away with the upset win, the team saw great success in its draw controls, beating North Carolina 13-6 in the category. Along with the team’s improved performance from the draw position, Weisse had yet another stellar game, racking up nine saves en route to the freshman establishing her role as the anchor of NU’s defense. Less than a week after the team’s heartbreaking loss, NU hosted Colorado, a team averaging more than 16 goals per game in its last three contests. But the Cats had no intention of letting the Buffaloes’ offense continue its scoring trends. Fredericks continued her mastery at the draw position, breaking her own school record in draw controls with 10. Meanwhile, Weisse curbed Colorado’s shooters, recording nine of her 10 saves in the second half. » See LACROSSE, page 11
