CHICAGO — President Barack Obama returned to his South Side roots Friday, calling economic oppor-tunity and community development crucial in keeping children safe from gun violence.
A.er much cheering, squealing and cell-phone picture-taking from the Hyde Park Academy students in attendance, Obama turned to a more somber topic: the epidemic of gun violence in his hometown.
He welcomed the parents of Hadiya Pendleton, the /0-year-old Chicago girl who was shot to death in January, a few days a.er singing at Obama’s inauguration.
1e president acknowledged the Newtown, Conn., school shooting, comparing the tragedy to the dramatic spike in Chicago homicides.
“Last year, there were 223 murders with a 4rearm on the streets of this city, and 50 of those victims were /6 and under,” he said. “So that’s the equivalent of a Newtown every four months.”
Evanston resident and gun-con-trol activist Carolyn Murray lost her /7-year-old son Justin to gun violence in November. Murray attended the president’s State of the Union address Tuesday and was invited to hear him speak in Chicago.
“I was elated that he brought it back to Chicago, up close and personal,” Murray said. “We need some help. It’s not working.”
After the speech, Murray met with Obama. She said he hugged her and extended his condolences for the loss of her son and pledged
assistance to any e8orts Murray starts in Evanston.
Murray met 4rst lady Michelle Obama on Tuesday and said she also extended a promise to help Murray.
1ough the president insisted that “common sense” gun control measures were needed, he argued legislation is not enough to stop violence: commu-nities and families have a role, too.
In far too many neighbor-hoods, Obama said, youth have the impression their destiny is already predetermined.
“For a lot of young boys and young men, in particular, they don’t see an
example of fathers or grandfathers, uncles, who are in a position to sup-port families and be held up and respected,” he said.
Before his scheduled remarks to students and invited guests, the presi-dent spoke to students in the youth mentoring group Becoming a Man.
Corey Stevens, one of the teens who met Obama on Friday, said he could not stop smiling when the president walked in and called shaking Obama’s hand “just inspirational.”
With so many ways to assert anger, Stevens said one of his takeaways from his visit was positive anger
expression.“It doesn’t have to resort to gun
violence or knocking someone up the head,” the /9-year-old Hyde Park senior said.
Still wearing his Becoming A Man T-shirt, Stevens said the president talked about his upbringing with a single mom and how he overcame obstacles to achieve his goals.
Though he initially joked that he “turned out OK” as the son of a single mom, Obama emphasized in his speech the importance of stable

CHICAGO CONVERSATION President Barack Obama addressed high school students and community leaders at Hyde Park Academy on Friday. His speech, adapated from the State of the Union, addressed gun violence.
Groups host racial dialogueBy JOSEPH DIEBOLD$%&'( -#)&*+ -!%::#+
A.er a slew of dialogues aimed at improving the racial climate on Northwestern’s campus last school year, such events slowed to a crawl this year.
But For Members Only and Alianza took the 4rst step toward changing that on Sunday, hosting NU mainte-nance worker Michael Collins for a combined general meeting to relate Collins’ experiences with race to those of the student body.
Collins is the NU maintenance worker who says he arrived at his Technological Institute office the morning of Dec. 3 to 4nd a black teddy bear, a gi. from his niece, hanging from a rope as if it had been lynched. Sunday’s meeting included a question-and-answer session between Collins and Jay Jordan, FMO’s vice coordinator of programming, updat-ing the two student groups on Collins’ case and its a.ermath.
Collins said he was happy to see NU students rallying behind his story.
“I’m glad to see students take a stand, especially against racism,” he said a.er the meeting. “Unfortunately, it’s something that’s very important in today’s society because it still exists. Because we have students like this taking a step forward, I think it will help prevent this in the future and, hopefully, eventually (there will be) one day where racism doesn’t exist.”
Moses remembered fondly
By JILLIAN SANDLER$%&'( -#)&*+ -!%::#+
Northwestern women’s studies program co-founder Rae Moses’ col-leagues remember her as a 4ghter with a heart of gold.
“She was a staunch feminist, but funny, generous, made everyone feel comfortable, made everyone feel wel-come and challenged us as well, but always in a fun-loving generous way, never in an accusing way,” said reli-gious studies Prof. Cristina Traina, who got to know Moses when she was a faculty fellow at the Women’s Resi-dential College.
Moses passed away Feb. 9, about nine years a.er she retired from NU in ;<<2. Survivors include her hus-band, Leon Moses, a former eco-nomics professor at NU, as well as her daughter Megan McBride, three stepsons, multiple grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and her brother, Patrick Stallcup.
Born in /730, Moses was a cham-pion of women’s rights at NU, 4ghting
for the interests of female faculty mem-bers. She co-founded the women’s studies program, now known as the gender studies program, in /765 with late sociology Prof. Arlene Daniels. She
also played an important part in estab-lishing the Women’s Residential Col-lege, also known as Hobart House.
Former biology Prof. Neena Schwartz said Moses was also instru-mental in the creation in /76/ of the Organization of Women Faculty, which seeks to improve working life on cam-pus for female faculty and graduate students, according to its website.
“Northwestern was no di8erent than any other university,” Schwartz said. “You had to keep pushing and pushing and pushing that there were women around, that you had to recruit more women for faculty … She always had the energy to do it.”
As a linguistics professor, Moses looked at gender roles from the angle of communication, researching how language was used to describe women, Schwartz said.
Moses also brought “an energizing broader perspective” to the classroom, said linguistics Prof. Robert Gundlach, director of the Weinberg College Writ-ing Program. Gundlach, who was a student in one of Moses’ linguistics classes, recalled Moses bringing in her then-young daughter and a friend to demonstrate the workings of children’s language development.
“I learned from her a lot to give a

Homeless numbers down in annual countBy SAMMY CAIOLA!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+)
1e Alliance to End Homelessness in Suburban Cook County recently released the results of its 4rst Registry Week, which counted /;0 unsheltered persons and nearly /,<<< sheltered persons in the areas north, west and southwest of Chicago, a decrease from last year’s count.
Founded in ;<<2, the alliance is a nonpro4t organization that coordinates a range of services and housing options for homeless people in Cook County. Since ;<<0, the organization has con-ducted a biannual “Point in Time” survey, in which teams visit suburban regions of Cook County to calculate the number of unsheltered persons sleep-ing in public spaces.
1is year, the survey team amped up its e8orts for the 4rst Registry Week, which involved canvassing areas for three consecutive days between 2 and 9 a.m., rather than just one night. 1ey also conducted vulnerability surveys to gauge risk factors for homeless people, such as substance abuse and medical conditions.
1e Registry Week additions are a
requirement for the alliance’s participa-tion in the /<<,<<< Homes Campaign — a national movement to 4nd perma-nent homes for the nation’s homeless.
Loren Seeger, program coordina-tor for the alliance, said homelessness can be particularly problematic in suburban areas like Evanston because communities are usually uneducated about it.
“A lot of people think that because you’re in a suburb, there are no home-less people in that area, when that clearly isn’t true,” she said. “A lot of people also think that more a=uent communities don’t have this issue, and that’s a misconception ... 1e fact that it’s sometimes more hidden in the sub-urbs makes it more of a problem.”
Of the /;0 unsheltered persons found in this year’s count, 33 were in the North subregion, which contains Evanston, while 27 were in the west and 23 were in the south. In addi-tion to street interviews, the alliance conducted surveys at several subur-ban shelters, including Hilda’s Place, a homeless shelter in Evanston. In total, volunteers conducted 325 interviews.
Within this group, they found that

&e Woman’s Club of Evanston launched a donation drive Sunday to help get Evanston
Township High School senior girls ready for prom.
&rough March 7, five Evanston loca-tions will accept dresses, shoes and jewelry for the club’s Dreams Delivered Prom Boutique.
“Our goal is that every girl in Evanston should be able to attend her senior prom, and we try to make that dream come true,” pro-gram co-chair Beverly Heimann said.
&e prom boutique will run at the Wom-an’s Club of Evanston clubhouse April 7 to
#%, serving "% to ") girls each day, in advance of the school’s May #7 senior prom.
&e number of students who bene8t from Dreams Delivered has doubled in the last two years, Heimann said. &e club helped more than 7% girls in !%#!.
“It gives a lot of girls the opportunity to go,” said Pam MacPherson, student activities direc-tor at ETHS. &ough Dreams Delivered is not a needs-based program, the program helps lower expensive prom costs for all families, MacPher-son said.
&e prom boutique has $%% dresses from past years, and the committee hopes to collect #%% more gowns as well as shoes and jewelry, Hei-mann said. MacPherson said one of last year’s participants wore a dress from the president’s !%%9 Inaugural Ball.
At the prom boutique in April, each ETHS girl will be greeted by a personal shopper and enjoy refreshments on the clubhouse sun porch. As girls select dresses, seamstresses will be on hand to make minor alterations. &e girl will also try on shoes and pick out accessories.
“We like to think we have something for every taste and style,” Heimann said. “Every-thing is free. &e dresses, shoes and jewelry are theirs to keep. For the most part, every girl walks away with a dress, and it’s just a great experience.”
Eight ETHS girls, who make up the Dreams Delivered student advisory board, work with the Woman’s Club of Evanston to market the program to students, MacPherson said. Next month, the board will host a fashion show where student advisory board members will model #) dresses and begin scheduling girls for shop-ping appointments at the Dreams Delivered boutique, MacPherson said.
Board member Jessica Cooper said Dreams
Delivered gives many girls who could otherwise not a:ord prom the opportunity to go.
“It was an experience to show their class-mates that prom is a time where it is about buy-ing dresses, but at the same time to save money, out of your parents’ pocket and your pocket, this is another advantage that you can have,” the ETHS senior said. “It shows that people in our community really do love our school and they do care about students at Evanston.”

Burgwell Howard said Sunday that Northwestern is a school that likes to always be “cutting-edge” and keep up with the “latest trends.”
Even if that trend is on YouTube.On Sunday a.ernoon, about /00 Wildcats le.
the library and hit the 1oors of Henry Crown Sports Pavilion to record Northwestern’s own version of the latest Internet video trend, in which dancers shake their torsos and shoulders to Baauer’s “Harlem Shake.” Students from across campus came out in wild cos-tumes and joined Howard and Willie the Wildcat for the video.
“It’s all about community and fun,” Howard, assistant vice president for student engagement, said between takes at Sunday’s 2lming.
Although some campus groups, including the foot-ball team and swim teams, have already made their own “Harlem Shake” videos, Sunday’s video marked the 2rst campus-wide NU attempt. 3e video went live on YouTube on Sunday evening.
Weinberg senior Henri Pierre-Jacques planned the shooting with his roommate Alex Pezeshiki and said he hoped it would get at least a few thousand hits.
Pierre-Jacques said he made a Facebook event to get other students involved in the shooting and reached out to Associated Student Government presi-dent Victor Shao on Feb. //. He said he was really
happy with the turnout they received and that making the video was all about making “senior memories.”
“I’m graduating in 45 days,” he said. “I’ve got to use that time wisely.”
3e video begins with a group of students playing basketball in SPAC as Willie the Wildcat and How-ard dance at center court. It then cuts to a shot of all the students in crazy costumes and purple NU gear, everything from purple T-shirts to horse costumes. 3ey are dancing wildly, waving purple foam 2ngers donated by Northwestern Wildside, riding exercise bikes and throwing stability balls like beach balls through the crowd. 3e video ends with a shot of the students and Howard on the ground as Willie the Wildcat looks around.
Weinberg sophomore Meg McPherson came to the event wearing a penguin suit. She said she felt it was important to be there and show her school pride as co-chair of the Happiness Club.
“It was kind of a mix of a waddle with a little bit of booty popping,” McPherson said of her dance moves in the video. “3ere was a little bit of beak pecking too.”
Howard said he knew the “old school” version of the dance, which began in Harlem in /56/, and he looked up the new version on YouTube a.er Shao and the students planning the event approached him about being in the video.
“I’m rocking the old school,” Howard joked while dancing with Willie the Wildcat. “Willie’s rocking the new school shake.”
Shao said he was glad people came out to be in the video and said ASG’s involvement would help as they plan their own campus music video. ASG collected proposals for music video ideas until Saturday night, and Shao said they are still planning to produce their own video in early Spring Quarter.
Shao said he thought the Harlem Shake video
would allow students to have some fun despite the school’s competitive environment.
“I’m a terrible dancer, but I don’t care,” Shao said. “Northwestern’s got some talent, whether that’s in dancing or having funny costumes.”

Profs present !ndings at annual science meeting
Several Northwestern professors presented their research 2ndings at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Boston during the weekend.
Anthropology Prof. William Leonard’s research 2ndings were presented Friday as part of a sym-posium titled “3e Scars of Human Evolution.” His study found that humans’ transition from
prehistoric ways of life to their sedentary lifestyle has incurred quickly-climbing energy imbalances on an evolutionary timescale, according to an article published Saturday on redorbit.com.
3e article said the high metabolic activity required for humans’ brains has caused them to develop unique consumption tendencies.
Chemistry Prof. Chad Mirkin also spoke Friday, discussing his development of spherical nucleic acids in a talked titled “Nanostructures in Biology and Medicine.” Spherical nucleic acids could be used to carry therapies to the brain to treat glioblastoma,
a form of brain cancer, as well as neurological dis-eases such as Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, according to an article published Saturday on azonano.com.
“People don’t typically think about DNA in spherical form, but this novel arrangement of nucleic acids imparts interesting chemical and physical properties that are very di7erent from conventional nucleic acids,” Mirkin said in the article.
McCormick Prof. Dirk Brockmann presented Saturday his computational model using transpor-tation data that may be able to help trace patterns of
disease outbreak, according to an article published Saturday on medicalxpress.com.
Brockmann showcased the model in a presenta-tion titled “Are Pandemics Predictable?” 3e model can generate this information about sources of an outbreak and arrival times for di7erent locations using just the disease’s geographical location and number of occurrences.
The meeting started Thursday and ends Monday.

In the most outrageous news since MTV ! lmed Ke"ha drinking her own urine, the International Olympic Committee announced last week that it would discontinue all wrestling competitions a# er the $%&' games in Rio de Janeiro.
As a sports fan, a wrestler and a patriotic American, I am outraged, saddened and ashamed. Wrestling is one of the oldest sports known to humanity, dating back all the way to the Olympic Games of (%) B.C. . To remove it from the Olympics — the ultimate celebration of sport, human achievement and international goodwill — is akin to taking meat from Bolog-nese sauce or garlic out of garlic bread.
First of all, the sport is simply entertain-ing. Wrestling has produced some of the most memorable moments in recent Olympic his-tory, from Kurt Angle winning a gold medal in &**' despite a broken neck, to Rulon Gardner’s shocking upset of the previously undefeated
Russian Alexander Karelin, to Jordan “All I See Is Gold” Burroughs’ con! dent romp to the gold medal last summer in London. Indeed, Burroughs’ warm post-match embrace of his defeated Iranian rival, Saeed Goudazri, was one of the most inspiring images of the past Olympiad .
Wrestling captures the essence of sport. Matches in men’s freestyle, which is probably what you visualize when you hear the word “wrestling,” are just seven minutes long and pri-oritize quickness, agility and physical strength, the essential traits that every athlete needs. To win, one wrestler must accumulate more points than the other, typically by “takedowns,” in which one competitor maneuvers his opponent to the ground by picking him up and slamming him down to the mat (fun!). A big part of the sport’s appeal also lies in its simplicity. + ere are no gadgets, helmets, bells or whistles other than those employed by the referees.
+ e IOC is doing fans everywhere a huge injustice by axing such a popular sport. Here in the United States, it has never been less than the ! # h most practiced sport amongst high school athletes , while worldwide, about $%% nations have wrestling programs . Last year’s games featured wrestlers from (& di, erent
countries and medal-winners from $* di, erent nations . Modern pentathlon, which for inex-plicable reasons is apparently going to outlast
wrestling, could claim competitors from just $' di, erent states and medalists from just six .
Plus, the way in which the IOC made this decision stinks to high heaven. + e &--member Olympic committee voted by secret ballot and gave no detailed rationale for its decision . No world sporting institu-tion should be that opaque.
As an American who is always eager to see his country suc-ceed, I am majorly
disappointed by this. We are the sport’s most successful active nation, with -% gold medals and &$- overall . And as a former wrestler (I turned down the chance to train at the Olym-pic complex in Colorado to get a ! rst-rate
education here at Northwestern), it’s uncon-scionable that millions of people will never have the chance to witness wrestlers force their hearts, nerves and sinews in pursuit of our greatest athletic prizes.
+ is shock decision could have negative con-sequences for college athletes here at home, as NU wrestling coach Drew Pariano outlined in a column Friday. Without the potential lure of Olympic glory and prestige, athletic directors could have a perfect excuse to slash wrestling programs (which are typically non-revenue) nationwide. Sadly, it’s happened before. In fact, half of the Division I programs that were around in &*)$, including former powerhouses like Syracuse and Fresno State, have been cut in the last .% years .
+ is is one decision that those mysterious bureaucrats in Switzerland shouldn’t have to wrestle much with because to get rid of wres-tling is to strip the Olympics of its essence. Here’s hoping that they see the error of their ways and make a reversal.

On Feb. &$, a man named Christopher Dorner died in a cabin in the San Bernardino Mountains during a stando, with police. If police had instead successfully restrained and imprisoned him, I would hope he would have been introduced to the National Ri/ e Associa-tion’s executive vice president, Wayne LaPierre.
Voicing the o0 cial stance of the NRA, LaPi-erre has opposed legislation banning assault ri/ es or limiting clip sizes, he expressed a refusal to closely regulate gun shows, and he has even rejected the idea of creating a national gun registry. + at’s because LaPierre seems to truly believe in his heart that “the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.” However, nobody is truly a “bad guy” or a good one; as people, we behave in complex ways. Sometimes our actions are good, and sometimes they’re bad. But, as Dorner’s story shows us, even the most respected among us are not infal-lible, and forming a security policy that amounts to “guns for everyone, and the good guys will win” is downright foolish.
Before he published his manifesto earlier this month, Dorner’s biography read as that of an upstanding citizen and a national hero. He graduated from Southern Utah University before enlisting in the Naval Reserves in $%%& . Dur-ing his time as a reserv-ist he served in Bah-rain, returned almost "),%%% of found money, and was promoted to lieutenant .
Dorner joined the Los Angeles Police Department in $%%- . Issues began when, in $%%(, Dorner ! led a claim that his training o0 cer used excessive force, and even though testimony was largely in his favor, an investigation concluded he falsi! ed the claim. He was ! red.
At this point, Dorner’s story truly reads of a hero: lieutenant, o0 cer of the law, victim of a corrupt system and social injustice. If the NRA needed an embodiment of just and responsible gun owners, none would have been better than Dorner.
+ at all changed on Feb. ., when Dorner
killed a former police captain’s daughter and her ! ance. In the next nine days, Dorner wounded three people and killed two LAPD o0 cers. Just like that, he went from being a shining example of a “good guy” to one of the most vili! ed (and rightfully so) kinds of people in society — a murderer, a cop-killer, a “monster.”
Dorner’s story is a familiar one. As they say, the bigger they are, the harder they fall, and even the mightiest can topple overnight. Dorner was a pillar of justice, honesty and heroism, and distress over his ! ring caused him to throw it all away, tragically ending four other lives along the way. His is a story we must all keep at the fore-front of our thoughts as the national debate over gun control rages on.
LaPierre is not a bad man. He may come o, as paranoid to some, and he may be stub-born and self-serving, but he’s telling the truth when he says he wants to protect our children. Unfortunately, his black-and-white view of the world, where there are good people and “people so evil, so deranged… that no sane person can possibly comprehend them” is not only naive, but dangerous.
LaPierre, as a result, has remained vehe-mently opposed to any sort of gun reform. Instead, he believes the solution to the problem caused by guns, ba1 ingly, is more guns and only more guns. + e NRA wants armed guards
at every school; the problem is, had this been proposed in $%%', Dorner could have been one of those guards. Only now do we see what a disaster that could have been, but it’s not too late to understand how others just like him can be out there.
Of course, most o0 cers aren’t like Dorner. Most are honest, virtuous citizens that deserve our utmost respect, but they are not infallible. I am absolutely open to the idea of putting guards in schools (my public school in Florida had one), but it’s certainly not the answer to all of our problems. A# er all, one o0 cer acting like a “bad guy” a# er being entrusted with the security of a school is more dangerous than no guards at all. But all the guards in the world won’t guar-antee safety because o0 cers, just like us, are people, not gods. Violence cannot be subdued without seriously addressing gun control. + at includes creating a national registry, enforcing background checks and mental evaluations, and setting a limit on clip sizes. Placing guards at school is an idea that should not be ignored, but without the real reform that LaPierre so strongly opposes, progress will be impossible.

families in creating a safe community. !e presi-dent recommended "nancial incentives for mar-riage and child support law reforms to strengthen families.
“!ose parents supporting kids — that’s the single most important thing,” he said, adding that “unconditional love” is what makes the di#erence in children’s lives.
As a single mother, Murray said she worked to provide her children with strong male role models, but the absence of fathers still a#ects families and communities.
“We’re just not seeing the stable role models in the family,” she said.
Dovetailing off his State of the Union address earlier in the week, Obama stressed the impor-tance of early education.
Through higher graduation rates and lower teen pregnancy rates, among other indicators, the president said $% in early childhood educa-tion saves $& in the future.
Obama also stressed the relationship between a strong local economy and a decrease in violence.
He called for an increase in the minimum wage to $' an hour and reiterated the plan he announced Tuesday to partner with () of the “hardest-hit” communities in America, including Chicago. !rough these partnerships, the president said, he wants to reform schools, o#er tax breaks for business to hire in struggling neighborhoods and address violent crime.
Recalling his days as a South Side community organizer, Obama said he learned that progress takes time, initially starting at a micro level.
!at same mindset still applies today.“We may not be able to save every child from
gun violence, but if we save a few, that starts changing the atmosphere in our communities,” the president said.
When Pendleton was in the nation’s capi-tal for the inauguration, he said, she visited the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial with her classmates.
Obama described the memorial as a tribute to both King’s accomplishments and his perseverance during incremental change.
“So in some ways, that memorial is a testament not to work that’s completed, but it’s a testament to the work that remains un"nished,” he said.

In the Spring Quarter the Slavic Department and the Music School are offering an unusual course concerning Russian Music in the context of Russian Culture. It is cross listed under Slavic 350 and General Music 335. Professor Irwin Weil will be lecturing on Wednesdays and Fridays at 1 PM about the fascinating background of music by three Composers: Glinka and Prokofiev, both of them well known in the West; and Sviridov, a creator of truly beautiful music, a favorite protege of Shostakovich, and—sadly—little known in the West. We will be learning about Russian Culture and History and performing some of the most interesting music which came out of that fascinating country. Glinka's Opera, “A Life for the Tsar” deals with the famous Muscovite problems in the early 17th cen-tury, followed by a successful Polish Invasion, and a Russian Man who laid down his life to protect the newly appointed Tsar. Prokofiev's Cantata, “Aleksandr Nevsky” is part of a classic film, and depicts one of the most horrendus battles on Russian Soil. Sviridov brings to life one of 20th Century Russia's most popular Poets, Esenin, in the context of the super frigid bone chilling Russian Winter.
Dr. Natalie Lyashenko, formerly Choral Conductor of the Novosibirsk State Opera will be conducting rehearsals on Tuesday nights, starting at 7 PM, for a concert which will occur late in the Quarter. No previous training in the beautiful Russian Language or Singing is required. Students are often pleasantly surprised by the wonderful sounds she evokes from them. The course offers a unique opportunity for students to under-stand, through feeling the rhythms and tones of the music, the magnificent power of Russian Literature and Poetry. There are very few similar courses in the entire USA. Don't miss out on this opportunity. If you haven't sung much before, this is your chance to experience the joy of language and history, together with music. If you are no stranger to producing lovely vocal sounds this is the chance to expand your repertory into the wonderful territory of Russian Music. Students will receive grades on the basis of two sets; knowledge demonstrated on a midterm and a final examination; imagina-tion, insight, and creativity demonstrated on a short midterm paper and somewhat longer final opus.

Medill alum James Rosen, professionally known as a Washington Correspondent for Fox News, refers to himself personally as a “Beatles freak.”
Rosen (MSJ ‘./) was on campus Friday for the first time since graduating from Medill’s graduate program to look into the possibility of storing research materials that he accumu-lated while working on his 0112 biography of John Mitchell within the University’s archive collection. One of the highlights of his visit, he said, was getting to see the eight Beatles manu-scripts that are part of the library’s holdings.
“I held in my hand the hand-scribbled lyrics that Paul McCartney wrote for ‘Eleanor Rigby,’” Rosen said. “It’s an amazing institution. I hope that we can arrange it so my stuff can go there because it will be in very good company.”
Rosen’s work, “The Strong Man: John Mitch-ell and the Secrets of Watergate,” details the life of John Mitchell, the attorney general under Richard Nixon and the highest ranking U.S. official ever to serve time in jail.
“I grew up in New York in the ‘31s, and the consuming subject of discussion amongst the adults always inevitably was Nixon, even after he had resigned the presidency,” Rosen said. “I burned with this peculiar ambition to be able to talk with the adults on their level about the thing they all seemed to want to talk about, so I developed this fascination with Watergate.”
Rosen said he decided to write a book about
the Watergate scandal while working in the National Archives branch then known as the Nixon Presidential Materials during his time as an undergraduate studying political science at Johns Hopkins University.
“I got hooked on working with primary sources, the actual documents themselves, and once that happened, I determined I was going to contribute to the bookcase of books
about Watergate,” he said. “I settled on John Mitchell because he was so central to Nixon’s rise and fall ... and yet he had never written a book of his own.”
Rosen’s work on the biography, which took him 43 years to complete, led to the accumu-lation of a large amount of research materi-als that currently reside at Rosen’s home in Washington, D.C. He said he needs to find a
“permanent home” for his acquisitions.“(Mitchell) had two criminal trials,” he said.
“Each criminal trial had a transcript of 41,111 pages. The Nixon tapes alone are a life’s work. ... I did 051 interviews and in the course of this I accumulated all these tapes and papers and artifacts — what my wife might gingerly refer to as ‘crap.’”
Sarah Pritchard, NU’s dean of libraries, wrote in an email that the University hopes to be able to coordinate an arrangement with Rosen regarding the storage of his materials here.
“We would very much like to have James Rosen deposit his career and research archives with Northwestern University Library,” Prit-chard said. “He has been interested and has had several conversations about this with us, although he has not given a definitive indica-tion of his plans.”
Kevin Leonard, the University archivist and assistant director of special collections, gave Rosen a tour of the archives, where Rosen’s research materials would potentially be stored, to “give him a sense of our capabilities and the range of our collections.”
Rosen also toured on Friday the library’s Patricia Neal exhibit, which showcases arti-facts that once belonged to the NU alumna and actress.
“He’s a very quick-witted guy, and the biog-raphy’s a remarkable book,” Leonard said. “It was fun to have him here, and we’re just hoping for the best.”

Cats end nonconference dual season with win over South Dakota State
6e bouts only get more di7cult from this point forward.
Northwestern (2-2) 8nished Sunday its last dual outside of the Big Ten with a dominant 9.-: win over South Dakota State. 6e Wildcats will end the season with a 3-0 record outside of their conference, where wins have been hard to come by.
All but one wrestler found a way to win Sunday. Redshirt sophomore Dylan Marriott fell via major decision at 4:. pounds.
A bright spot for the Cats came at the end of the lineup, when NU swept the 8nal three bouts at 42: pounds, 4.3 pounds and heavyweight. 6e Cats have struggled throughout the season at the back
ends of duals, with losses at 42: and 4.3 as well as the injury to redshirt sophomore Mike McMullan derailing many opportunities for wins.
On Sunday, the big guys stepped up, starting with true freshman Jacob Berkowitz at 42:. Berkowitz, who was forced into action earlier in the season due to McMullan’s injury, cruised to a 41-/ win.
Redshirt sophomore Alex Polizzi followed up with a major decision victory at 4.3. McMullan continued to work his way back into the form that carried him deep into the NCAA Championships last year, ending the dual with a win by technical fall.
Redshirt senior and All-American Jason Welch also notched a technical fall win of his own.
6e Cats’ three true freshman — Berkowitz, Dominick Malone and Garrison White — all le; South Dakota victorious. White won by default because the Jackrabbits forfeited at 499 pounds.

DOMINANT Freshman Dominick Malone looks for advice during a home dual earlier in the season. Malone as well as two other true freshman won their bouts against South Dakota State on Sunday. The Wildcats finished the year with a 7-2 nonconference record.
Following his discussion with Collins, Jor-dan, a McCormick junior, and Alianza co-pres-ident Lucia Leon, a Communication junior, announced four initiatives their groups will be undertaking together in the coming weeks: a walk of solidarity for Collins, a video docu-menting recent racial controversies at NU, a campaign for students to write letters detailing their personal experiences with race and a series of small-group community talks, which Leon called “black and brown therapy sessions.”
Jordan said a!er the meeting the joint ini-tiatives were developed by “trying to think of di"erent ways to build solidarity and raise awareness so that we can deal with (continuing racial inequality).”
Leon said the idea of an FMO-Alianza combined meeting was planned even before Collins’ case came to light in late January because “we thought our communities should collaborate more,” but the focus shifted when Weinberg senior Sandra Garnica reached out to Collins.
“It was even more pertinent because he was talking about how he felt, especially as a per-son of color and how it has to do with race,” she said. “People in both of our communities have really felt it and seen it, especially within the last #ve to $% years. We thought it would be really good to get both of our communities together and to stress the importance of build-ing an alliance between them.”
She emphasized Sunday’s meeting was meant
to be “more internal” and would merely be a prelude for further dialogues, including the small-group talks.
Jordan spoke to the challenge of involving the community at large in discussions of racism and ensuring they are attending events along with the group of students most interested in combating the issue.
“You have to create a spectacle,” he said. “You have to make people who aren’t thinking about these things think about it by throwing it in their face, which is what we’re trying to do with (these initiatives).”
&' percent had a high mortality risk and &( percent were su"ering from a serious health condition.
)e organization also identi#ed a number of homelessness “hot spots” in Evanston, including Burger King at $*+% Orrington Ave., Uncle Dan’s Great Outdoors Store at ,%$ Church St. and Cin-emark Century )eaters at $*$( Maple Ave.
)e sidewalk in front of CVS Pharmacy at $*$$ Sherman Ave. is o!en occupied by persons asking for money.
Andre Green, assistant manager of that store, said these people are most likely homeless, but their presence has not disturbed business so far as he can tell.
“I haven’t had any problems, and I don’t think we have a policy on it,” he said. “)ey do come in because when they collect enough money, they buy things. It’s one of the most popular fronts on the street, so they probably get a lot of tra-c here. But there haven’t been any incidents that I know of.”
Alex )urston, a fourth year religious studies graduate student, said as an undergraduate he lived on Clark Street and frequently interacted with people on the streets — which he still does today. On Sunday, he stopped and talked to a man outside of CVS, whom he referred to as a friend.
“I see di"erent guys every day,” he said. “)ey usually tell me stories. Usually they’re funny. It’s important for people to treat each other with dignity, regardless of if money changes hands or not.”

Moses was also active in other facets of the NU community. A!er joining the NU faculty in $,.., she served as an assistant dean in Wein-berg from $,./ to $,*.. She also helped guide students studying learning disabilities in the communication sciences and disorders depart-ment, Gundlach said.
“She was involved in all phases of campus life and was one of the most important citizens of the university I knew when I started,” Gun-dlach said.
Moses was also a loyal friend, former NU linguistics Prof. Judith Levi said.
“She was always warm and welcoming and sensible and helpful and generous with her time and her interest, so whether I had a di-culty that I wanted to talk to a wise woman about or something positive that I wanted to share with a good friend, Rae would be the perfect person to go to,” Levi said.
Even near the end of her life, Schwartz said, Moses was as big of a presence as she always had been.
“As I think about her, everything that she believed in was important enough to really #ght for,” Schwartz said. “Even with some heart problems … there was always that tremendous energy. )at’s why she managed to do so much at Northwestern.”

NU tops Notre Dame for ! fth straight time in top-20 showdown
In a battle of top-!" teams, No. #" Northwestern ($-%) defeated No. #& Notre Dame ($-%) $-! in Evanston on Sunday — the Wildcats’ third strong victory in eight days.
NU’s top doubles pair, No. #$ Linda Abu Mushrefova and Nida Hamilton, beat Notre Dame’s No. %" Julie Sabacinski and Britney Sand-ers '-( in the ) rst match to ) nish. But Notre Dame’s number-two pair topped the Cats’ Veronica Corning and Alicia Barnett, establishing the third slot as the decisive doubles match.
* at match paired NU’s Belinda Niu and Kate Turvy against Notre Dame’s Quinn Gleason and Julie Vrabel. With the ever-important doubles point up for grabs, Niu and Turvy fell behind +-, but rallied to win ) ve of the ) nal six games, including the ) nal tiebreaker, for a &-' victory that put the Cats ahead #-".
Last weekend, a- er the Cats won two of three at the ITA Indoor Team Championships, coach Claire Pol-lard expressed her happiness with the team’s doubles play, which again boosted NU on Sunday.
“In all three matches our doubles play looked really good,” she said last weekend. “I’m pleased with that. We’ve made a lot of progress in that area, which initially was somewhat of a concern for us, but I feel really good about that, very happy with our progress there.”
NU pulled in front %-" when Mushrefova won her singles match (-%, (-# and Corning ) nished hers (-,, (-#. Still, with all four remain-ing matches close, the Cats looked to be in for a long night. In fact, with Notre Dame up a set in three of
those matches, NU freshman Alicia Barnett’s second set appeared to be a crucial one.
Barnett had won the ) rst set +-$ and was tied ,-, in the second before she won two straight games, breaking opponent Sabacinski’s serve, to capture the match and clinch overall victory for the Cats.
Barnett’s triumph proved clutch, as Turvy fell +-$, (-, and senior Brittany Wowchuk dropped her match (-%, +-( in matches irrel-evant to the a- ernoon’s outcome. Red-hot junior Belinda Niu, who entered the national rankings this week at No. '% a- er a strong show-ing last weekend, won her second set (-, and, as the last match on the court, captured the super-tiebreaker #"-! to close NU’s $-! win.
The win was the Cats’ fifth straight against the Fighting Irish dating back to !"## and their eighth win in their last nine tries against Notre Dame. NU defeated Notre Dame in the second round of NCAA Championships in both !"## and !"#!.
* e Cats are now !&-## all-time against the Fighting Irish, those !& victories by far the most ever for NU against a non-Big Ten oppo-nent. * e Cats have beaten Harvard and Brigham Young ## times each and Kentucky, Northern Illinois and Western Michigan #" times each.

Northwestern started off on the wrong foot and never got it right Sunday night against in-state foe Illinois.
The Wildcats gave up the first + points of the contest, and the Fight-ing Illini matched every single run the Cats threw at them in a domi-nating (!-,# victory at Welsh-Ryan Arena.
“If we’re not scoring, it really makes it tough on the defense,” coach Bill Carmody said. “We (have) got to make shots. We were unable to do that tonight, and their defense gets the credit.”
NU cut the deficit to #&-#$ with just less than three minutes to play in the first half, but Illinois ended the half on a #"-" run to take a #,-point lead into the break. It only got worse after halftime when Illinois scored the first #( points to extend the lead out to %" points. From there the Cats were able to whittle away at the defi-cit but could not get the game any closer than !# points.
The big issue for NU was offense, which at times looked disjointed and dysfunctional. The Cats shot a pedestrian !#.+ percent from the field in the first half, including hit-ting on only two of #% attempts from behind the arc. The second stanza was not much better, as NU hit !' percent of its shots on the floor.

night,” Carmody said. “It’s more than shooting. The whole flow wasn’t great either. We weren’t sure whether to shoot or not to shoot or how the offense was running.”
When the Cats did miss shots, they were missing quite a number of them short, which is usually a sign
of fatigue. NU had four play-ers play more than %" min-utes in Thurs-day’s loss to Ohio State, but senior guard Reggie Hearn said that can-not be an excuse for the poor offensive performance.
“The vets that are here are used to playing a lot of minutes,”
Hearn said. “We’re definitely not going to use fatigue as an excuse … I don’t think fatigue played a huge role.”
The Cats had some more luck on defense, holding the fourth-best scoring offense in the Big Ten to (! points, but the Fighting Illini still shot ,%.( percent from the field. NU forced & turnovers and converted them into #+ points, a major chunk of the Cats offense Sunday night.
However, the players said they were not happy with their defense,
particularly in the second half, when Illinois shot better than $" percent from the field. The Fighting Illini had particular success when NU was in a man-to-man defense, driving to the lane and either finishing at the basket or kicking it out for an open jumper. The Cats switched to a #-%-# defense that helped slow the bleeding, but Illinois was able to stay patient and pick the zone apart.
NU also turned the ball over an unusually large amount, leading to a lot of points in transition. The Fighting Illini had #' points off the Cats’ #, turnovers but also scored #" fastbreak points in the victory. Senior guard Alex Marcotullio said NU was trying to key in on limiting Illinois in transition and that it was one of many parts of the game plan the Cats failed to execute.
“We just really control the game with the way we played,” he said. “They had in double digit transi-tion baskets, and one of our keys was to limit them in transition. They definitely get going and get more confidence when they’re making shots and getting out in transition and getting easy looks.”
