The Daily Northwestern - Feb. 21, 2014

By Rohan nadkaRnidaily senior staffer @Rohan_NU

Witness testimony continued Thursday in the College Athlete Players Association case against Northwestern in front of the National Labor Relations Board.

NU called three witnesses to the stand: Steven Green, deputy direc-tor of athletics for internal affairs; Carolyn Lindley, university director of financial aid and Janna Blais, dep-uty director of athletics for student-athlete welfare.

Green’s testimony finished quickly but started slowly for NU.

CAPA objected to its relevance, and after a long back and forth with the hearing officer, he was finally allowed to testify.

The testimony mainly dealt with finances for the first part of the hearing.

In stark contrast with the large football revenues reported Wednes-day, Green testified that the NU athletic department actually loses money.

He said money generated from football is diverted to cover other expenses.

Ultimately, athletics are subsi-dized by other University funds.

But CAPA made sure to assert

that only revenues from football are important and relevant to the case for unions.

During one objection in Green’s testimony, hearing officer Joyce Hofstra called the CAPA case weak for not having put enough on the record.

Lindley’s testimony also ended after only a short questioning period. Lindley revealed that $15 million of the $139 million NU provides in aid goes to athletes, and those grants cover the full $63,000 cost of attend-ing school this year.

After lunch, the excitement picked up considerably.

Blais had the longest testimonial period of the day, taking the stand for more than four hours.

Blais testified to specifically refute claims made by Kain Colter on Tuesday.

Blais said players were allowed to take classes before 11 a.m. and brought up Colter’s 3.2 GPA as a sign of his academic success.

Blais also revealed more policies for athletes.

She testified that athletes are not allowed to travel to road games 48 hours before final exams, per NU rules.

Blais testified that professors are not required to change their syllabi

The Medill junior who filed a Title IX lawsuit against the University last week said Thursday she has “lost faith as an individual and as a student” because of the way Northwestern handled her reported sexual assault at the hands of a professor.

“I can honestly tell you that the last two years have been stolen away from me,” the student said. “It was almost like making friends, having a normal North-western undergraduate life, was not any-where on my radar.”

The student, who says philosophy Prof. Peter Ludlow sexually assaulted her in February 2012 after the two attended an art show together in downtown Chi-cago, said in the lawsuit that NU handled the incident with “deliberate indifference and retaliation.”

She told The Daily on Thursday mul-tiple offices and administrators within the University had failed her, spurring her Title IX lawsuit.

After reporting the incident in Febru-ary 2012 to Joan Slavin, director of the Sexual Harassment Prevention Office, the student said she was given very little information about Slavin’s investigation into the student’s claims.

In an email update during the inves-tigation, Slavin told the student she asked Ludlow to delete photos from his

Facebook profile. The photos depicted the student and were taken without her permission, she said.

In spring 2012, Slavin sent the stu-dent a letter telling her she concluded that Ludlow had made unwanted sex-ual advances but she could not give her further information about disciplinary actions because it was of a “confidential personnel nature.”

When the student found out Ludlow would be returning to campus for Fall Quarter 2012, she became disillusioned with the University’s ability to respond to her claims. She said fear of running into Ludlow on campus gave her panic attacks and night terrors.

“I was shocked,” the student said. ”At least I had hope that they were going to do something. Something that’s visible, something that I can feel like I’m safe.”

Though the student said the school granted her academic accommoda-tions, she felt the Center for Awareness, Response and Education, which was founded in 2011 to serve students who are survivors of sexual violence, had not been helpful “at all.”

“I think they can do good things for people when the sexual assaulter is not a University employee,” she said. “When it’s a University employee, things change so dramatically. And I can tell you that CARE is no longer offering me services. Period.”

Evanston warns of flooding due to rain and warmer temperatures

City officials warned residents Wednesday of potential flooding, citing forecasts of increased rain and rising temperatures.

As of Thursday morning, the city recorded 0.42 inches of rain in addi-tion to about 30 requests regarding street flooding problems, city officials said in an email.

The melting snow will contribute to the possible flooding, the city said. Frozen turf will be unable to absorb the excess water, which might cause flooding in the city and residents’ basements and garages, the city said.

Evanston’s Water Division offered

tips to residents to combat the flooding.

The department advised residents to clear snow and ice surrounding their homes and to unplug electron-ics and remove valuables that could be damaged. The city also said driv-ers should avoid parking over street drains, an act that could increase the likelihood of street flooding.

Alum caps Money Matters weekNU witnesses testify in NLRB hearings

By tyleR PageRthe daily northwestern @tylerpager

The gap between an individual’s low economic background and middle class aspirations “doesn’t have to be debilitating,” journalist Alfred Lubrano (Medill ‘80) said Thursday night.

Lubrano delivered the keynote address to about 50 people in Har-ris Hall as a part of Money Matters, a week organized by Northwestern’s chapter of Quest Scholars to pro-mote discussion about socioeco-nomic diversity. Lubrano works as a reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer and authored the book “Limbo: Blue-Collar Roots, White-Collar Dreams.” The book details the challenges of balancing a blue-collar upbringing with white-collar aspirations.

Emily Rivest, the co-social chair of NU’s chapter of Quest Schol-ars, said she had wanted to bring Lubrano to speak since the group began planning Money Matters.

“A friend of mine loaned me (Lubrano’s) book, and I read it in one night during the middle of all my midterms because I was so engrossed in it,” the SESP senior

said. “What he wrote about is something that I thought would resonate with a lot of Northwest-ern students.”

Lubrano grew up in Brooklyn in a low-income family and said the transition to Columbia University, where he completed his undergrad-uate degree, was very challenging.

“Middle-class students are doing something their parents did, some-thing which their parents and

family have prepared them for,” he said. “College is not such a leap. Kids are moving from one mid-dle-class space, home, to another, campus. They are not making the journey that working class kids are making.”

Lubrano also talked about the need for working-class students to change who they are in order to fit

Starbucks may open in Dempster-Dodge areaBy Bailey Williamsthe daily northwestern @news_BaileyW

Evanston’s Planning and Zoning Division approved an application for a new Starbucks on Dempster Street which could open as soon as fall 2014, the city announced Thursday.

“While there is more work to be done, the addi-tion of Starbucks will provide momentum to our continued efforts to bring high quality retail and services to the area,” Ald. Peter Braithwaite (2nd) said in a newsletter.

The store is looking to move into the space previously occupied by Kentucky Fried Chicken, 1901 W. Dempster St. However, this move is still in its beginning stages, said Paul Zalmazek, Evanston senior economic development coordinator. Zal-mazek told The Daily that the developer Revision Group, LLC, has applied for a special use permit that is awaiting approval.

Thursday’s Starbucks announcement is the latest Evanston business event in recent months.

Last year, Dominick’s owner Safeway, Inc. closed all Dominick’s grocery stores in the Chi-cago area, including the former Evanston store at 1910 Dempster St. The space is still vacant, along with a number of other spaces in Evanston Plaza.

Zalmazek said Dominick’s pulling out has

influenced other surrounding businesses, who looked to the grocery store for drawing in business.

“Once that Dominick’s issue is resolved, the rest of the space will start to fill in,” Zalmazek said.

Panel talks divesting from fossil fuelsBy Jonathan Lithe daily northwestern

The Northwestern University Responsible Endowment Coalition sponsored a panel Thurs-day on whether universities have an obligation to divest from fossil fuels.

About 50 students attended the event in Harris Hall, titled “Cutting out Coal,” where members of the panel argued for and against changing the University’s investment portfolio.

The panel featured Rob Whittier, director of the 0ffice of sustainability; Will McLean, NU’s chief investment officer and Kelly Mitchell, a coal cam-paigner at Greenpeace.

The discussion was planned as a result of a peti-tion that urged members of the community to show their support for investment in green and sustainable technologies, which was sent out last year by the the Coalition and Associated Student Government.

Mitchell said besides the negative environmen-tal impact, NU should not invest in the coal indus-try due to financial reasons, highlighting that coal companies have lost 70 percent of their value.

“(Coal companies) have a business model incompatible with our future,” she said.

She said the industry is already constrained by tougher national and international policies on carbon output, and fossil fuels are increasingly difficult to extract.

McLean said NU currently has about $31 mil-lion in private investments tied up in coal, and the University’s energy portfolio has been the best per-forming over the past few years, even during the financial downturn. He also questioned the impact of divestment for publicly traded companies.

“Even if it’s down 70 percent, somebody is going to buy coal until it becomes uneconomi-cal,” McLean said. “Just by selling them, some-body is going to buy it, and Harvard’s president made the same point. If Northwestern sells, maybe we feel good about it. But what are we really accomplishing?”

Economics Prof. Mark Witte, the moderator

of the panel, said he agreed with McLean in that anything NU divests from will be bought by other investors immediately.

“The only result is that we will have a less diverse portfolio,” he said.

Witte said expanding the initiative onto the national scale by bringing the Association of American Universities into the divestment strategy would be more effective.

McCormick junior Andrew Carlson, a member of the Coalition, said he was shocked by the state-ment from Harvard’s president, which McLean read at the event.

“I was surprised that Harvard’s president said that their endowment shouldn’t be used for social or political purposes,” Carlson said. “He said that the investments were there solely for the benefactors.”

A Q-and-A session followed the panel, where students asked about how universities can make a difference and how the Coalition can learn from Brown University’s failure, referencing how Brown’s Divest Coal Campaign failed to influence

its president from divesting from fossil fuels.Whittier argued the University has to be more

transparent on what they invest in and establish clear standards on what qualifies as clean invest-ments before any major changes can happen.

“You can start by acknowledging how much you have invested in this space and then collectively agree on the first few steps,” he said. “It’s hard to say that we shouldn’t invest in Exxon since they also have renewables in their portfolios.”

Mitchell said universities have an obligation to divest from fossil fuels and reinvest in sustainable energy because of their large influence.

“Universities are trendsetters,” she said. “They help define the values and visions for the future.”

Wesley Lien said he hoped the event would rekindle interest in the campaign and garner more support from students for the campaign.

“It is a great way to restart the dialogue and get the underclassmen interested,” the Weinberg senior said.

Ole Miss frats condemn noosing of James Meredith statue

Fraternity presidents at Ole Miss declared Thursday that they would not hesitate to expel a member if it turns out that one of their own had a role in placing a noose around the campus statue of a black civil rights figure.

University of Mississippi police and the FBI are investigating Sunday morning’s incident, and it’s unclear if suspects have been identified. The FBI deferred comment Thursday to campus police, who could not be reached.

A witness saw two young men leaving the scene. A coiled rope had been slung around the neck of the life-size James Meredith statue. A former Georgia state flag with a Confederate battle emblem also sat on the statue’s neck.

“We see this behavior as a disgusting rep-resentation of a racist few who have no place within our collective organizations, or on our campus,” 15 fraternity presidents said in a let-ter dated Wednesday and released Thursday. “We are currently writing this without knowl-edge of any student involvement, but should we find that any of our members were involved our plan is to expel them from our organization immediately.”

Across Campuses

When colleges were first instituted, stu-dents attended solely because they wished to learn more about a particular subject and broaden their knowledge base. These days, however, the overwhelming reason for earn-ing a college degree is to secure a job.

I changed my major last summer, and when trying to decide what subject to pick, people kept telling me it didn’t matter what I studied as long as I stuck with some sort of engineering degree.

But when I was trying to pick this new major, I wasn’t choosing based on what job I could get. I was trying to decide what I wanted to spend my last two years of undergraduate education studying because I wanted to learn about something I cared about.

Last week, my sorority had a fireside with University President Morton Schapiro. At one point, he started talking about how Northwestern was different from another college and how NU is a pre-professional school. People graduating from NU, he said, almost always graduate with an idea of what job they’re going to get after college.

I thought this was an interesting point. NU is a highly ranked university, and we do have programs for students looking for specific jobs.

But it makes me sad that people think learning for the sake of learning isn’t a larger part of our culture here at NU.

A few years after you land a job, your GPA won’t matter so much. Given that, it’s easy to start thinking it won’t mat-ter whether you memorized a bunch of information from one of your distribution requirement classes that you’re never going to use on the job. What does it matter if we aren’t trying to retain the information we’ve learned in classes we don’t care about? If we’re here to get jobs after graduation and not to learn, it doesn’t matter what classes we end up taking, as long as we get a degree and can figure out what to do once we are in the workforce.

Learning will help you in the long run. Even the classes that you think are com-pletely irrelevant to your aspirations will teach you something. You learn skills that

you can use when you’re talking to a new person and trying to understand his or her point of view. Every subject has its own worth. Learn each subject for its intrinsic value, not for the job that you may land after having studied it.

As for whether NU is a pre-professional school, I’m not too sure I agree. Personally, I think it’s great that we have distribution requirements at NU. It ensures that students take classes in areas other than their direct fields of study, encouraging them to branch out and learn other subjects. Isn’t that learn-

ing for the sake of learning?

I don’t think the only attitude at NU is a pre-professional outlook. There are many majors here that aren’t specific to a job coming right out of college.

We have a variety of programs, and whether you want to come here to study a less lucrative-seeming subject or come in as part of our Honors Program in Medi-cal Education, you’re still welcome here.

People have picked majors because they like the subjects; all students have not chosen their major based on what they want to do professionally.

If you’re trying to decide what to do with your major or worrying about what job you’ll get upon graduation, keep in mind that the initial purpose of attending univer-sities was to learn.

What lands you a job in the end isn’t nec-essarily your degree; it is how you’ll apply what you’ve learned to whatever job you get. If you learn to the best of your ability, you will secure a job one way or another.

In college, you have the priceless oppor-tunity to study whatever you want to learn about. Our goal as students is to learn as much as possible while we’re here. Keep that goal in mind.

Get a good night’s sleep. Don’t cram the night before. These seem to be the time-tested pearls of wisdom for any test taker, spanning all academic fields. However, these tips are geared toward tests taken in the morning or during the day.

What if your test is at night? The eight hours you got last night seem almost inconse-quential after a day packed with classes, labs, work-study jobs and meetings. The late-night cramming you avoided means nothing in the face of nervously flipping through flashcards during a quick dinner an hour before the exam.

Night tests are a common practice at North-western and many other colleges. From a practical standpoint, it is easy to see the rea-soning behind scheduling exams this way. For a professor who teaches two or more sections of a class, giving a common exam at night allows all students to take the same test at one time. This levels the playing field and ideally minimizes cheating between an earlier and later section. It also ensures that professors can lecture during the class period that would have otherwise been for a test, which is useful in an already tight, 10-week quarter.

However, night testing has far more draw-backs than advantages. It does not seem to be conducive to students doing their best on test day and beyond.

Some classes that give exams at night let students know before registration so that they can schedule other classes and commitments accordingly. Students in the organic chemis-try/biology sequence take bio quizzes Wednes-day nights and orgo midterms on three Thurs-day nights of the quarter.

Though three nights of a quarter may seem insignificant, there are only nine Thursdays of class during the entire quarter. This schedule restricts students from taking 6-9 p.m. classes two out of the four days of the week they are offered and essentially takes the possibility of participating in an extracurricular activity on Wednesdays and Thursdays off the table. It also makes students reluctant to schedule labs and other classes that would end just prior to the quizzes or midterms to allow for a quick study break and a little downtime before a rigorous exam. In turn, it is more difficult to

map out a schedule for the quarter and ends up severely limiting course options. The quar-ter system was designed for students to be able to maximize their breadth of coursework, but a heavy load of night tests accomplishes just the opposite.

Perhaps more important than the schedul-ing conflict is that night exams do not seem to set students up for optimal performance. Having a test at night allows anxiety to build all day long. Although there is pressure to perform during a test at any time of day, an exam scheduled for 7 p.m. forces students go through the entire day with pre-test jitters. Studies have shown that mounting levels of cortisone, the stress hormone, has negative effects on cognitive function. It can induce problems in memorization and concentration and has been known to lead to indecisiveness. None of these outcomes are welcome during a test.

Tiffany Her-lands, a psy-chologist and assistant psychi-atry professor at Columbia Uni-versity, believes the combina-tion of building anxiety and fatigue from a long day may lead students to rely more on stimulants like coffee, energy drinks and performance-enhancing drugs like Adderall. She feels this dependence on stimulants is more likely in the case of a night exam rather than one given during the day. Of course, coffee can be helpful as a pick-me-up, but heavily relying on boosts from energy drinks and prescription drugs is not healthy and also potentially dangerous.

The quarter system is fast-paced, class time is at a premium and students should be set up to succeed as much as possible. Surely the extra two or three days of class freed up by a night exam could be beneficial but not at the expense of academic performance and well-being.

Focus on learning in college, not just careers

Night exams inconvenient for schedules, performance

On Tuesday, Daily columnist Tom Cui compared Northwestern’s Associated Student Government to the Chinese Community Party: “Regardless of the CCP’s record,” he wrote, “It seems blind to public complaints for simple guarantees.”

What are among Cui’s grievances? ASG is too meritocratic, top-down, illegitimate and soft. Ultimately, Cui argued that unless ASG chains itself “with the passions of students” it will never achieve influence or impact. Cui assumes that because ASG doesn’t amass visible, campus-

wide support for major problems like improved housing, we lack credibility and are ineffective in addressing such issues.

As ASG senators and committee members, we admire Cui’s idealism for enacting change. However, our experience working on the ground for the student body helps us understand the flaws in his argument.

Cui does not fully recognize the scope of ASG’s endeavors. In addition to representing the undergraduate student body, ASG facilitates and directly supports more than 150 student

groups. Through funding, advocacy, and public-ity channels, ASG empowers these groups and their highly-motivated members to broadcast their views to campus and apply pressure on the administration.

That’s not to say that we’re strangers to gath-ering student support and calling out adminis-trators. Just last month, we publicly criticized the University for the inadequacy of the Frost-bite shuttles, leading to an increase in shuttle frequency. Although these public appeals help us gain legitimacy with students, we simultane-ously risk losing sway with administrators. We also recently surveyed the entire undergraduate population and received 2,500 responses on a range of issues, and will use that data to lobby on the students’ behalf.

We know the campus wide issues that affect our peers — after all, we face them too. But if we organize many protests of residential services for poor conditions or NUIT for bad Wi-Fi, then we risk losing our seat at the table. Without that open door we wouldn’t be able to discuss nar-rower (but still meaningful) issues like having functioning microwaves in Bobb or Dunkin’ Donuts in Norris. It’s this spirit of cooperation that encourages administrators to be receptive to our input.

It’s not that we lack passion for the issues; in fact, our passion is why we joined ASG. Rather, we recognize that we shouldn’t march in the streets for every issue -- because not all issues are clear-cut, and because we have to carefully

choose what is the most effective way of convey-ing student needs and wants to administration.

To some extent, however, Cui is right. As a resource-constrained organization, it’s easy to lose sight of the big picture and focus on the more tangible impact at the margin. Too often we settle for small wins that don’t push our cam-pus far enough in the right direction. We should be more willing to risk administrator backlash on the issues that affect us most. We also must do a better job of communicating when and where we’ve pushed for results. Initiatives such as the ASG Weekly email, CampusVoice, and our transparent online “Playbook” are the first steps in the right direction.

The DailyNorthwestern

By Eli PankEnthe daily northwestern

Israeli economic expert Daniel Blumenthal spoke on campus Thursday about entrepre-neurial opportunities in Israel and their con-nection with U.S. businesses.

About 20 students attended the event orga-nized by the Israel Business Club and assisted by entrepreneurial organization EPIC.

Blumenthal (Weinberg ‘10), deputy director of the Government of Israel Economic Mis-sion to the Midwest, used his time to express “the exciting features of Israel’s economy.” He spoke about the quick transition Israel under-went from an agricultural to a technological haven.

Through the speech, Blumenthal mentioned many well-known companies, such as IBM, Google, Intel and Microsoft, that all have a presence in Israel, as well as some of the areas that the state “shines” entrepreneurially.

One of these areas includes Israel’s ability to survey large groups of people in order to understand better what people are interested in based on a crowd’s responses, Blumenthal said.

“The knowledge of any crowd is just as valu-able as the knowledge of the greatest experts in the world,” he said.

Blumenthal also discussed Israel’s agricul-tural advances, particularly in the fields of water recycling and drip irrigation, which he said have the potential to transform agricul-tural systems.

“While this is great, Israeli companies have one huge challenge,” Blumenthal said. “There is no market in Israel for all of the technology they’re making. We have to work to help make Israeli businesses successful.”

His office is currently working with those in the Midwest, particularly in the Chicago area, to help foster relationships with Israeli businesses and entrepreneurs in hopes of sup-porting Israel’s technological industries, Blu-menthal said.

Israel Business Club co-founder Jonathan Gordon said the group planned the event to attract those who want to have a connection with Israel but are not necessarily looking to do so on a political or religious basis.

“We’re looking for students interested in business and entrepreneurship and have a pas-sion for Israel,” the Weinberg junior said.

The club plans to hold an information

session within the next couple of weeks, in addition to other events about the basics of international business and entrepreneurship in the near future, Gordon said.

“There are a multitude of business oppor-tunities in Israel, and we want to increase the awareness about Israeli projects,” Gordon said. “We know there’s a good constituency of students interested in Israel, and we want to give them a new lens in which to consider the country.”

Weinberg junior Julie Lee said she had an interest in working in Israel and attended the club’s event to gain more information about business in that area.

“I had been more drawn to the event because of the club’s focus on Israel,” Lee said. “But now that I know about the many startup opportu-nities, I’m more interested in the economic side of Israel.”

Let’s face it. We’ve all done it.Whether in socks on a hardwood � oor, as a

kid on wheelies or even on the ice rink at Nor-ris University Center, we’ve all pretended to be a pro � gure skater at some point in our lives.

With the 2014 Sochi Olympics unfolding like a train wreck right before our eyes, � gure skating events are the one redeeming factor. It’s possibly the only reason for anyone who isn’t a winter sports enthusiast to actually watch the Games, both for the graceful athleticism that the skaters possess and the great music to which they perform.

Most � gure skating songs seem to fall into the following categories: classical Western music, Disney soundtracks and pop/rock hits that everybody recognizes. � ough some viewers may call for change in this formulaic approach, I personally have no problem with it. In fact, I appreciate the performances even more when I can predict the musical pattern and see how their gestures align with each musical � ourish. Will I ever be able to do a “triple salchow” an “axel jump,” a “lutz” or even a “twizzle”? Will I ever get farther than � ve feet on the ice without falling? Probably not. But with this music, at least I can pretend I can. And now, so can you.

So even if you’re not training to represent your country at the next Winter Olympics, do keep this playlist in mind. � at way, you’ll still feel like a star even when you slip six times on your way to Tech.

Evanston adds 210 jobs, 72 businesses in 2013

Evanston released its 2013 year-in-review economic report Wednesday, detailing the addition of new businesses and construction projects and a drop in the city’s overall unem-ployment rate.

The city added 72 businesses and 210 new full time jobs last year, lowering the unemploy-ment rate more than a full percentage point from 7.4 percent to 6.3 percent in December, according to the report.

Evanston’s unemployment rate last Decem-ber falls about two percentage points below that of Illinois as whole.

The report also showed 96 new jobs were announced in the last quarter of 2013, nearly half of the overall job additions during the

year. The Mayor’s Summer Youth Employment

Program’s employment rate also went up giving jobs to more than 300 individuals, a 46 percent increase from last year.

Evanston underwent a series of construc-tion projects including the opening of Trader Joe’s and the nation’s first net-zero Walgreens store. These projects combined totaled more than $30 million. In addition to filling vacant areas with office and retail space, Erie Family Health Center, Evanston Hospital and DaVita Dialysis were other top construction projects in the city.

Northwestern also underwent about $188 million of building activity through construc-tion of the visitors center, the Music and Com-munication Building and other projects.

Climate change brings more crime, study says

A new study broadens a notion held by the earli-est criminologists: Periods of higher temperatures — on an hour-by-hour or week-to-week basis — are likely to produce more crime.

� e study by Matthew Ranson of Abt Associ-ates, a research and consulting � rm in Cambridge, Mass., suggests global warming will trigger more U.S. crimes including murders and rapes over the next century, with social costs estimated to run as high as $115 billion.

Between 2010 and 2099, climate change can be expected to cause an additional 22,000 mur-ders, 180,000 cases of rape, 1.2 million aggravated assaults, 2.3 million simple assaults, 260,000 rob-beries, 1.3 million burglaries, 2.2 million cases of larceny and 580,000 cases of vehicle the� , the study published this week in the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management says.

Compared with the number of crimes expected to occur during this period in the absence of cli-mate change, these � gures represent a 2.2 percent increase in murders, a 3.1 percent increase in cases of rape, a 2.3 percent increase in aggravated assaults, a 1.2 percent increase in simple assaults, a 1 percent increase in robberies, a 0.9 percent increase in bur-glaries, a 0.5 percent increase in cases of larceny and a 0.8 percent increase in cases of vehicle the� , the study says.

� e social costs of these increases would be roughly $38 billion to $115 billion, based on dollar values of per-o� ense losses established by earlier research.

“A 1 percent to 3 percent increase in a particular crime may seem modest,” Ranson said in an inter-view. “But for victims, survivors and law enforce-ment, the burden of those numbers can be very substantial.

“� e broader context here is that climate change will in� uence our lives in a variety of ways beyond how much water we can spare for such things as farming,” he added. “Now, there is reason to believe it will also impact social connections in our neigh-borhoods, the amount of time we allow our children to spend outside and how much we are willing to spend on law enforcement.”

Overall, crime rates for most o� enses by 2090 will be 1.5 percent to 5.5 percent higher because of climate change, according to the study of crime statistics and weather data for each of the nation’s nearly 3,000 counties.

“To put these numbers in perspective,” the study says, “recent research suggests that a 1 percent increase in the size of a city’s police force results in an approximate 0.3 percent decrease in violent crimes, and a 0.2 percent decrease in property crimes, with some variation across types of o� enses.”

Yarn bombing kicks off art seriesBy cassie wassinkthe daily northwestern @clwassink

A few trees outside the Evanston Public Library are wrapped in fabric after the first event in HeARTh, a series of artistic events aimed at engaging the community.

Evanston’s Public Art Committee hosted a yarn bombing on Feb. 8 outside the library, 1703 Orrington Ave.

“There was a pleasant relief at finding a home for those abandoned projects because it could become something,” Ald. Jane Grover (7th) said. “They didn’t have to feel guilty about hanging onto something.”

Committee co-chairs, Jason Brown and David Geary, organized the yarn bombing with help from Grover, who assembled the knitting crew.

Grover met with a group of knitters before the event to compile materials, collecting leftover yarn and unfinished projects. At the event, knitters met to combine what had been donated with new mate-rial and created swathes of fabric wide enough to wrap around trees. Children participated, helping with tasks like making God’s Eye crafts or shred-ding felted pieces for other use. After producing all of the tree sweaters, Brown and Geary helped to assemble them on the trees.

Grover said the event was especially meaning-ful for the knitters who contributed unfinished work and got to see their projects displayed. The women were happy to see their work go to use and that they had an ample supply of material, Grover said.

“It was like pulling rabbits out of magic hats, pulling abandoned projects out of bags,” she said.

Brown, who thought of the HeARTh series,

said he wanted to do something environmentally friendly. Working with used or unfinished projects instead of consuming new material was reward-ing, he said. Brown said there has been a positive response, saying community members thanked him repeatedly as he finished placing the sweaters on trees and cleaning up.

“We love to see things that are creative and innovative but not overly demanding of the envi-ronment,” he said.

Jennifer Lasik, the city’s cultural arts coordinator

discussed how the event draws people outdoors during the winter time.

“This winter can be long and hard and seem-ingly never-ending,” she said. “We wanted to have some fun activities.”

There are two more events in the series, Brown said. The next HeARTh event will be in early March when they will work with ice sculptures, adding color to the ice formations on the lake shore.

Ebony Calloway/the daily Northwestern

ABANDONED TO ART a piece of art installation outside the Evanston Public library, 1703 orrington ave., is part of a public art series called hearth. the first event involved yarn bombing, an activity aimed at engaging the community and making use of art that might have otherwise been abandoned.

Stevens accompanied the student to a Chicago police station to report her assault about a year after the alleged incident. She said last week the University offered the student several thousand dollars to help cover her mental health care costs while she was still enrolled at NU, but only if she signed a waiver, releasing the University of liability for any mental health damages after she graduated.

The University’s failure to disclose disciplinary proceedings or adequately alert the police put the NU community at risk, Stevens said.

“It’s basically the policy of the Vatican and it allows people who are sexual predators to move from one campus to another without there being any kind of alert to the incoming community,” Stevens

said. “Northwestern students and faculty deserve better.”

A University employee referred the student to her first attorney, she said. She later switched to her current one, Kevin O’Connor.

In a statement released last week, Ludlow denied all allegations of sexual assault or harassment. Lud-low’s attorney Kristin Case said she and her client had evidence of “friendly communications” initiated by the student from the days immediately following the alleged assault.

The student said Thursday those communica-tions were submitted for Slavin’s investigation.

Slavin concluded in April 2012 that Ludlow made “unwelcome and inappropriate sexual advances” toward the student.

“I stand behind my story,” the student said. “I will not back down.”

The student spoke to University Police about the incident without filing a report. In the months after the alleged assault, no one recommended that the student go to the Chicago Police Department, she said. It was only after Stevens’ encouragement about a year later that she decided to file a report.

After reporting the incident to CPD, the student said a detective told her there was not enough evi-dence to press criminal charges.

Filing the lawsuit was an alienating experience, but a necessary one, the student said.

“So many people have told me, ‘Well, you should just transfer out of Northwestern,’” the student said. “I worked so hard to get into this school. If anyone leaves, it should be him.”

in, saying this can create tension with middle-class students.

“People from the working class attending a college like this must change themselves or at least important parts of themselves to fit in,” he said. “The problem arises because at the same time they feel like impostors. People can also become resentful that they feel like they have to change.”

Stephen Autar said he attended Lubrano’s speech because of his experience as a low-income student at NU.

“I’m someone who identifies as low-income, and the whole idea of a blue-collar background with white-collar aspirations is something I very much identify with,” the Medill junior said. “It was really comforting to hear it from someone who has been in the situation I see myself in now. The knowledge that he was in a situation like myself and he is somewhere now where he has a stable career, stable life is the biggest takeaway I had from the event.”

Lubrano encouraged students who are deal-ing with these issues to try and find a balance between both identities.

“I think if you’re a person like me and you consider yourself fortunate, if you could be upward mobility but still rooted in an empow-ered role, some kind of reconciliation will come to you if you finally meld the two people you really are,” he said.

for players and can reject players from taking traveling exams or early tests.

From her testimony, it was also revealed that NU sets up 25 internships that are specific and held for athletes only at the school.

Title IX also became a sticking point during the Blais testimony.

She said a potential union could cause issue’s with Title IX compliance and would require a whole system change at NU.

When pressed on the topic by a CAPA attor-ney, Blais declined to detail any specific Title IX concerns that could come with a union, citing the complexity of the law.

Proceedings are expected to ramp up to a new level as they continue: According to mul-tiple reports, coach Pat Fitzgerald is expected to testify Friday.

NU’s attorney Joe Tilson declined to com-ment on who will take the stand for the Uni-versity on Friday and said, “these situations are fluid.”

you’ve also got a chance to have stretches where you don’t finish.”

NU has now lost five in a row. Once NCAA tournament hopefuls, the postseason has been slowly slipping out of the team’s grasp over the past three weeks.

McKeown wants more from his once promis-ing squad.

“We’re a good team,” he said. “Hanging in there is not our goal.”

The Cats have just three games remaining, and only one at home to right the ship and make their case before the Big Ten tournament begins.

Drew Crawford honored as Capital One Academic All-American First Team member

Drew Crawford became the fourth member of Northwestern men’s basketball program his-tory Thursday to be named to the Capital One Academic All-American First Team.

Recipients of the award, who are selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America, must hold a 3.30 cumulative grade point average and have started at least 50 per-cent of their team’s games at their listed posi-tion. As a graduate student in the School of Continuing Studies, Crawford has a 3.9 grade point average.

Thursday’s honor is Crawford’s second Aca-demic All-American award. As a junior, he was named to the Second Team.

Crawford came back to NU for his fifth year of eligibility to play for coach Chris Collins, under whom the forward has played an up-and-down season. Crawford notched a season-high 30 points in NU’s upset against then-No. 13 Wisconsin on Jan. 29, the second of the Wild-cats’ three-game stretch of road wins.

After the Wisconsin win came a 17-point game in a victory against Minnesota on Feb. 1 and a Big Ten Co-Player of the week recognition.

That same week, the U.S. Basketball Writers Association honored Crawford as the Oscar Robertson National Player of the Week.

The graduate student has also had his share of flubs in the final year of his college career. He scored only 6 points on 1-8 shooting in a loss to then-No. 4 Michigan State and fared even worse against Minnesota at Welsh-Ryan. Crawford ended Sunday’s game with 2 points on 1-15 shooting.

Tumultuous season aside, Crawford is con-sistently recognized as a vital part of the Cats’ attack. Not only does Crawford provide critical leadership to a relatively young team trying to find its identity under a new coach, but the team also often depends on Crawford to salvage a struggling offense.

The forward leads the team in scoring, aver-aging 15.9 points per game.

motivating to be around it, and she sets a great example for our younger players.”

Two of Niu’s classmates followed suit in their singles matches. Hamilton finished her singles match just minutes after Niu’s and with just as strong of an effort, putting away her opponent 6-3, 6-0.

No. 30 Corning followed up Niu and Hamilton’s contests with the first win in three sets of the day against No. 65 Katie Klyczek. Corning played what Pollard called a “flawless” first set but dropped her second 4-6.

“(My opponent) wasn’t making as many balls as she usually would, so the first set was kind of a cruiser,” Corning said. “In the second set she stepped it up a bit – she making more balls, making me play that one more ball, and I wasn’t executing as well. … It kind of caught me off guard.”

Corning was able to refocus to pull her third set out 6-3 and seal the match for the Cats.

Now, after traveling for two straight weekends, Pollard said her team will take a hard-earned four-day break. Corning is looking forward to the pause in the Cats’ busy schedule before the team takes on its second conference opponent in Purdue, at home March 1.

“We’ve had a long stretch of matches. And I know we all have a lot of work to catch up on, so a lot of rest of needed,” Corning said. “It’ll be really beneficial.”

Penn State’s depth, experience outlasts NU

� e College Athletes Players Associa-tion has stated reasonable, valid objec-tives for improving the basic rights of student-athletes, none of which will help it be certified as a union.

CAPA’s hopes of unionization took a hit � ursday a� ernoon not because its principles are incorrect, but because it has fallen on the wrong side of legalese.

All the National Labor Relations Board seeks to determine at this week’s hearings is whether football players are — by legal de� nition — employees of Northwestern. As has been made clear during the proceedings, CAPA’s moral merit does not a� ect that judgment.

An important precedent here is a 2004 NLRB ruling that Brown Uni-versity teaching assistants could not unionize. because essentially, they were students and not employees.

Given this prior ruling, CAPA needs to demonstrate that NU football players are more athletes than they are students.

Thursday afternoon’s testimony from Janna Blais, deputy director of athletics for student-athlete welfare, whittled away at some of the core assertions former Wildcats quarter-back Kain Colter made on Tuesday.

Colter testified scholarship play-ers are not allowed to miss practice for class and players are prevented from pursuing certain majors (engineering) and career paths (pre-med) because of football. But two days later, Blais provided record of certain scholarship players who indeed majored in engi-neering or went on to medical school.

Questions remain about whether exceptions were made only for less important members of the team, but the idea of some players leav-ing practice and completing intensive majors undermines CAPA’s argument.

� e hearing record doesn’t show miss-ing practice to be universally unacceptable and doesn’t show pursuing the pre-med track to be universally impossible. � at those things were allegedly true for Colter proves nothing about the entire team and therefore about players’ employee status.

In fact, Blais’ testimony on players leaving practice and studying whatever they wanted was arguably broader and certainly more documented than Col-ter’s testimony to the contrary. Neither side’s argument was perfect, and the answer as to how players are treated is obviously not absolute. But Blais’ tes-timony seems stronger than Colter’s.

It’s not fair Colter was prevented from missing class and unable to keep up with the pre-med track. CAPA has convincing arguments on that and just about every point regarding col-lege athletes’ rights, and its platform is full of just and reasonable objectives.

But certi� cation depends on its mem-bers being declared employees. Based on � ursday’s testimony, don’t bet on it.

CAPA case weakening against NU

Column

By BOBBY PILLOTEthe daily northwestern@BobbyPillote

It was Battle of the Maggies, round two.

Northwestern sophomore guard Maggie Lyon put up 17 points and six rebounds, but Penn State guard Maggie Lucas and her 26 points, three assists and four steals were too much to overcome as the Wildcats fell to the Nittany Lions, 82-73.

“(It was) a hard fought game,” coach Joe McKeown said. “We bat-tled back. We had chances … but the times when we had to make a bucket, we couldn’t, and they did.”

It was the second time this season NU su� ered a close loss to Penn State. In their � rst contest on Feb. 2, the Cats made a furious comeback in the second half but came up short in a 79-75 defeat.

Both Maggies starred in that game as well.

During that matchup, Lyon led NU with 26 points, six assists and four rebounds, but Lucas’ more modest 19 points, three assists and six rebounds were enough to secure a Penn State victory.

In this game, despite Lucas pad-ding the stat sheet more, the Nit-tany Lions’ better overall team e� ort prevailed.

“We knew it was going to be a battle,” Lyon said. “� e end of the second half, it just kind of slipped away from us.”

Nittany Lions’ forward Tori Waldner contributed 14 points, nine rebounds and � ve blocks, and for-ward Ariel Edwards posted 15 points and six rebounds of her own.

“Would’ve been better if she came to Northwestern,” McKeown said, on Edwards. “I think she’s one of the most underrated players in the Big Ten. ... � ey probably appreci-ate her because she does all the little things.”

As a team, Penn State also took much better care of the ball, commit-ting 13 turnovers to NU’s 18.

“First half tonight, we got sloppy,” McKeown said. “We’re a very young team. And sometimes we get excited, and we don’t take care of the basket-ball. Tonight it came at the wrong time.”

Lyon lacked the support Lucas had.

Freshman forward Nia Co� ey, the Cats’ overall leading scorer, put up 14 points but fouled out of the game with 12 minutes remaining in the second half.

“(Co� ey’s) a great player,” McK-eown said. “When we get into the Big Ten tournament, we need to be on a little bit of a run and get her going.”

Sophomore forward Lauren Doug-las had 16 points and eight rebounds o� the bench, and junior forward Alex Cohen chipped in 14 points and six rebounds.

But it just wasn’t enough against a deeper, more experienced Nittany Lions squad.

“We’re a streaky shooting team,” McKeown said. “We’re capable of hit-ting 10 or 12 3’s in a game. But that’s the problem when you’re streaky,

Cats collect ‘W’ to open conference playBy AVA WALLACEdaily senior staffer@AvaRWallace

What a way to kick o� conference play.

No. 8 Northwestern handed Indi-ana its � rst home loss of the season � ursday, 7-0. � e Wildcats cruised through the doubles point and kept trucking through singles’ play, in which three players needed three sets to get the job done.

Senior Veronica Corning and soph-omore Alicia Barnett took their match at the No. 1 doubles spot decisively, besting two of Indiana’s individually ranked players, Carolyn Chupa and Katie Klyczek, 8-3.

“Overall the atmosphere was really nice for doubles. We wanted to come out and start with a bang, which we did,” Corning said. “We just showed good energy and played right through it. “

Freshman Maddie Lipp and senior Nida Hamilton improved their team-leading 13-5 record in taking care of Indiana’s Kayla Fujimoto and Sophie Garre, 8-4.

Coach Claire Pollard was pleased the Cats were able to execute their serves against the Hoosiers — the team had been focusing on serving

better since its loss against Vanderbilt on Feb. 2.

On � ursday, serves were key to getting NU o� on the right foot.

“We served well at (No. 1 singles) and returned well at 1,” Pollard said. “We played a lot of � rst set points, got o� to a quick start and really just never let them in the match.”

In singles, No. 58 senior Belinda Niu played one of the strongest singles contests of the match to beat No. 93 Chupa 6-1, 6-4 and notch NU’s second point. Niu improved her singles record to 15-3 on the season, a high bar to set for some of the Cats’ less experienced players.

Pollard said in addition to her stel-lar play on the court, attitude makes up a large part of Niu’s leadership abilities.

“You know she’s just competing incredibly ferociously. She’s showing a lot of passion and intensity out there, setting the tone for the team,” Pollard said. “It’s motivating to watch it, it’s
