Flu cases up in Cook CountyBy Julian Gerezthe daily northwestern @jgerez_news
With an increase in hospitaliza-tions from influenza-like illnesses and six flu-related deaths, health directors from Cook County and Evanston are encouraging residents to get their flu vaccinations.
The Illinois Department of Pub-lic Health is reporting widespread influenza activity in Illinois, with 122 flu-related intensive care unit hospitalizations. In Cook County alone there were 44 confirmed influ-enza ICU admissions, according to a county news release.
Individuals who are 65 years of age or older and those with weak-ened immune systems are at higher risk for flu complications. However, this year, the ages of those admitted into the ICU range from toddlers to people in their late 90s.
“That demonstrates that anyone can get the flu and since the activity hasn’t even peaked yet, we expect more ICU admissions and poten-tially deaths in the coming weeks,” said Dr. Terry Mason, chief oper-ating officer at the Cook County Department of Public Health, in a news release.
Those who have been severely
ill with complications also include younger individuals with no under-lying health problems.
Northwestern students are no exception. Lisa Currie, director of Health Promotion and Wellness, said the residential situations at uni-versities makes contagious diseases like influenza more susceptible to spreading.
“Living in community means being exposed to a lot of germs,” Currie said.
Fortunately, according to Dr. John Alexander, executive director
Quinn rallies city’s DemsBy edward Coxdaily senior staffer @EdwardCox16
Gov. Pat Quinn fired up Evanston Democrats on Sunday afternoon.
Alds. Mark Tendam (6th) and Jane Grover (7th) attended the Democratic Party of Evanston gathering at the Fire-house Grill, 750 Chicago Ave., where residents endorsed candidates. The public offices open for endorsement
include governor, lieutenant governor, Cook County sheriff and commissioner of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District.
The event gave residents an oppor-tunity to learn more about public offi-cials whose positions may otherwise be unclear, attendees Emily Thomas and Danny Orrock said. At the event, can-didates for circuit court judge talked with constituents. More than 20 can-didates signed in to the event.
“We have to work to learn about the
judicial candidates,” Orrock said. “They are not able to generate paid media themselves. The best way to learn about the judges is to talk to them.”
The endorsements for the Metro-politan Water Reclamation District positions are the most significant, event organizer Eamon Kelly said. Of the 10 candidates running for the posi-tion, three will be selected to make sure water in Lake Michigan is safe.

NU remains open Monday, nearby schools close
Despite subzero temperatures, North-western will remain open Monday, Uni-versity officials told The Daily.
High temperatures in Cook County on Monday are expected to range between 2 and minus 6 degrees, but with gusts of up to 30 miles per hour, wind chill could make temperatures feel as low as minus 35, according to the National Weather Ser-vice. Low temperatures and severe wind chills are also expected Tuesday.
“Northwestern will be open and
operate on a normal schedule tomorrow,” University spokesman Al Cubbage wrote in an email.
Dean of Students Todd Adams sent an email just before 6:30 p.m. advising students to take precaution and dress appropriately when outside Monday. He suggested leaving extra time to get to cam-pus and travel around NU. Adams added Frostbite Shuttles will run from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Earlier in the day, NU spokesman Bob Rowley said senior staff of University President Morton Schapiro and University Police are monitoring weather conditions, but expected the school to remain open.
Chicago Public Schools, Evanston Township High School and Evanston/
Skokie School District 65 announced Sunday afternoon they would close due to severe weather. All three districts also closed earlier this month when subzero temperatures from the polar vortex hit the region.
NU has already seen three weekdays without school during Winter Quarter. Weather forced closures Jan. 5 and Jan. 6, delaying the start of the quarter. Classes were not scheduled Jan. 20 in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Monday night lows are predicted to fall between minus 18 and minus 22, but with wind chill, temperatures may feel as low as minus 40, according to the NWS.

Composer visits Bienen ensemble
Alum creates Snapchat-like app
By olivia exstrumthe daily northwestern @oliviaexstrum
Award-winning composer David Lang attended a performance Sun-day afternoon of his Pulitzer Prize-winning work, “The Little Match Girl Passion” by the Bienen Contempo-rary/Early Chamber Ensemble.
“The Little Match Girl Passion,” based on a short story by Hans Chris-tian Andersen, combines the biblical story about reactions to the suffering of Jesus with the classic Danish tale, all set to classical music. Although the piece is centered around the Andersen story, Lang said it was actually the last thing to be incor-porated into the piece.
“I had the idea of taking the gos-pel story, the story of people react-ing to the suffering of Jesus, and I took Jesus’ story out and looked for someone else’s story to tell,” he said. “I wanted to get the power that the community of believers feel from noticing Jesus’ suffering.”
Lang said his wife suggested using Andersen’s story, “The Little Match Girl.” Like the story of Jesus, he said, “The Little Match Girl” is about a person going through immense suf-fering and still having hope. How-ever, Lang, who does not identify as Christian, said it can be difficult to reconcile the Christian roots of
much Western classic music with secularism.
“When you love classical music as much as I do, you spend a huge amount of time studying how Jesus is worshipped through music,” he said. “Which is really fantastic and inter-esting and compelling and powerful, but there’s a problem there because some of us are not Christian.”
The piece, which was the last of three performed Sunday at the Alice Millar Chapel, was divided into 15 parts and alternated between clas-sical pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach and the story, which was sung by both the full choir and soloists. In addition to “The Little Match Girl Passion” and “Privilege,” the choir performed “Missa Et ecce ter-rae motus,” a 16th-century work by French composer Antoine Brumel.
Ted Hearne, who composed “Privilege,” also attended Sunday’s performance. He said he wrote the piece as a way to address problems concerning social inequality. The piece includes a translation of a South African anti-apartheid song, along with excerpts of a 2009 inter-view with producer David Simon about social inequality.
“I often find myself writing music for choirs of educated, privileged people, of which I am one,” Hearne said. “I wanted to use the possibility

A new social media app called Secret Square, released Friday in the Apple App Store, embodies a Northwestern alumnus’ crusade for online privacy.
Founded by Steve Tarzia, who received his doctorate from NU in 2011, the Snapchat-like app allows users to send content through the app that will disappear after two minutes. The application encrypts messages to prevent service pro-viders from accessing them. The application revolves around grow-ing public consciousness of the data-mining activities of entities such as the National Security Agency, Tarzia
said.“What people like about Secret
Square is it lets themselves be … taken out of the spotlight,” he said.
Tarzia said his marketing coor-dinator, Brennan Anderson (Wein-berg ‘13), set up a booth last week in Norris University Center to gather student feedback on the new app.
The very secretiveness that is the hallmark of the application can be a drawback, he acknowledged. Peo-ple are not as worried about service providers checking data as they are about friends reposting material.
Security features on Secret Square only permit users to communicate with others once they have scanned the codes on the application. The code encrypts content but prohibits

Some stories are told not through words but rather generations of wizened instruments, animal fur throws and dusty pottery sets.
The stories of the Mitchell Museum of the American Indian’s new exhibit, “Storytelling: Inspiring Traditions for Generations,” which opened Saturday, bridge gaps between generation and culture with different categories of animals, prophecies, trickster tales and more.
A stroll past the exhibit, 3001 Central St., dis-plays just how distinct each culture is. Many tribes engaged in the “Winter Count,” a practice in which an elder would think of a symbol at the end of each year that most encompassed that year.
“I never heard about the Winter Count — that people would want to reflect on the year that passed and would want to memorialize it,” said Katherine Foster, who was visiting from Des Plaines. “And that sounded very interesting. It makes sense because people don’t want their lives to just slide away.”
However, some sections also give visitors a sense of how similar the culture is to their own. The “Creation” section’s artifacts relate to a story of a “Magician” who made beings similar to himself out of clay.
“As you can see here, Native Americans also had questions about where we all come from,” exhibit project manager Melissa Halverson said.
Visitor Julia Rath, a Skokie resident, said she enjoyed visiting the museum, which she has been to before.
“All cultures have certain ethnic and cultural traditions,” Rath said. “They might all be a little different from each other but they all share the same theme, because it’s all really about people and families and ancestries and traditions and where we come from and storytelling — all of it.”
In the spirit of passing down culture between
generations, this storytelling exhibit also allows visitors to interact and be a part of the practice. Inside a replica of an Iroquois longhouse, com-plete with an animal fur rug, is a recording station where people can record their own stories for future visitors to hear.
In addition, the “Winter Count” has a table where guests draw their own symbol of what was memorable for them that year.
“So I would say this is the year of the really bad winter. That would be my ‘Winter Count,’” Halverson jokes.
Although some artifacts were dated more than a century ago, many also connect visitors to the contemporary culture of the Native American people. Native American youth, who took sto-rytelling workshops, created an informational video that plays in the exhibit. “Trickster stories,” a type of fable, can be read through a graphic novel
published in 2010.“My favorite piece is an Ojibwa water drum,
and it’s over 100 years old. And it’s sitting right next to a very contemporary drum that has paint-ings on it. It’s really interesting to see them side by side,” Halverson said. “I love that they are all next to each other and you can see that this tradition of storytelling is a very old tradition.”
In total, the exhibit contains more than 60 artifacts, all part of the Mitchell Museum’s own collection from tribes all over the North American continent. Halverson, as project manager, combed through all 10,000 of the museum’s objects, and culled the best ones to represent the stories she wanted to tell.
“I’m honored to be a part of it and I’m honored to be a part of storytelling,” she said.

‘Suits’ cast to visit NU as part of US college tourBy ReBecca SavRanSkythe daily northwestern @beccasavransky
USA Network series “Suits,” starring North-western alumna Meghan Markle (Communication ‘03), will visit NU as part of its seven-university tour in February.
The event, which will take place Feb. 18, is part of a larger initiative to promote the show’s mid-season three premiere. Daniel Hoffman, films committee co-chair for A&O Productions, said he has been planning the event for the past few months after the network asked the student group for assistance.
“These people have never put on an event, so they wanted to take advantage of our experience,” Hoffman said.
The event, which will be held in Ryan Audi-torium, will include a viewing of the show’s win-ter premiere followed by an exclusive question-and-answer session, said Hoffman, a Weinberg junior.
Hoffman said he is unsure why NU was chosen to participate in the tour, though he hopes the lure of an NU alumna and the show’s legal premise will encourage students to attend the discussion.
“It’s certainly exciting for us because we get to have a more personal connection with the show, having an NU alum as a prominent member of
the cast,” Hoffman said. “‘Suits’ is a very smart show and that sort of material has a big draw at a school like Northwestern. It seems like a show that
Northwestern students would really love.”NU was part of a similar session in 2010, when
USA Network organized for the cast of “Psych” to
come to campus as a part of a college tour. That event received positive feedback, Hoffman said, and he is hoping the ‘Suits’ event will be equally as successful.
This event is also part of A&O’s new initiative and motto this year, “See it live,” Hoffman said. Through the group’s programming for the year, Hoffman said they are aiming to bring the NU community together for various events.
Students around campus have shown their excitement by sharing the event online and spreading the news of the tour with their friends. Weinberg freshman Tara Raizada said she is a “Suits” fan and is looking forward to attending.
“I was really excited to learn the cast was actu-ally going to come,” Raizada said. “I think it’ll be really interesting to get the actors’ take on what they’re doing in the rest of the season.”
Raizada said “Suits” is already a popular show across campus, so the event will help to get stu-dents excited about the premiere.
A&O will flyer the campus with USA Network-provided material, but registration is already open on the tour’s website, Hoffman said.
“Get out of your dorm room and go with your friends to see this amazing show with question-and-answer time with some of the cast,” Hoffman said. “I think it’s a really rare and exciting oppor-tunity to have to get to know the characters.”

FIXED UP TO THE NINES the cast of “suits” will visit campus Feb. 18 as part of its college tour. the event will feature a question-and-answer period and a premiere of its latest episode.
University kicks off Black History Month celebration
Northwestern began its six-week observance of Black History Month on Friday with Haram-bee, a celebration of African, Caribbean and African-American culture. The event, which was hosted by African American Student Affairs and For Members Only, featured free food, song
and dance.Myrlie Evers-Williams, the former chair-
woman of the NAACP, will give the keynote address Monday in Pick-Staiger Concert Hall during NU’s official observance of Mar-tin Luther King Jr. Day. The event will also include performances by jazz and choral stu-dent groups.
The Alice Millar Birthday Concert: 50th Anniversary Celebration will feature Joseph Schwantner’s “New Morning for the World,” based on texts by Martin Luther King Jr. The
Alice Millar Chapel Choir and University Sing-ers will also be featured in the concert Feb. 9.
The celebration will also include movie screenings of “The Trials of Muhammad Ali” and “Good Hair,” both of which will be fol-lowed by discussions. In addition, “Bittersweet Harvest: The Bracero Program, 1942-1964” is currently open in the Dittmar Gallery in Norris University Center. The art exhibition explores the Bracero Program, the largest guest worker program in U.S. history.
There will also be a special preview of “New
Americans: Our Mutual Elevation and Social Improvement,” an upcoming exhibit by Jason Patterson. The exhibit officially opens on April 4, but the preview will run from Feb. 24-28 on the ground floor of Norris.
The University’s celebration will conclude with the annual Leon Forrest Lecture. Lydia Diamond (Communication ‘92), an acclaimed novelist and scholar, will deliver the lecture on March 5 in Harris Hall.

For the majority of my life, I hated vegetarians. No, let me rephrase that. I hate feeling excluded from the group that’s in the right. That’s not to say that people who aren’t vegetarians are wrong — there’s nothing wrong with omnivores. It just so happens that there are plenty of benefits to getting protein from beans instead of bratwurst.
But I also love meat, whether it’s a savory steak, greasy fried chicken or a burger from Edzo’s Burger Shop (now for dinner!).
My best friend is a vegetarian. Every time I would eat with her, I was positive I could feel her wrath as she silently, judgmentally sliced my self-esteem with her eyes, just as easily as I sliced into the filet mignon on my plate. While I’m sure she’s never actually considered my omnivorism an affront to anything, I felt so guilty about eating meat that I saw my own frustration reflected in her eyes.
Not only does vegetarianism lower certain health risks, it also has environmental effects. Good environmental effects. According to a United Nations report conducted in September, 14.5 percent of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions result from the livestock industry. Beef cattle contribute 41 percent of that, while dairy cattle contribute 19 percent. Poultry meat and chicken eggs each add an additional 9 percent and 8 percent respectively.
I was my own hero in a Sophoclean tragedy:
“Omnivorous Rex.” I knew the benefits of veg-etarianism, yet I craved meat. My hamartia: vegetarianism or omnivorism. Should I choose to deprive myself of my favorite food group, or should I stand by while my health and the health of the environment deteriorate?
While the U.N. study goes on to cite ways of reducing emissions on the production side of the livestock industry, I soon discovered there were ways I could help, too.
In my hour of desperate need, I heard a fam-ily member describing a school district that decided to serve only vegetarian options one
day per week. After further investigation, I dis-covered that the “Meatless Monday” campaign has become a global phenomenon, from Tur-key to Taiwan. Even the Norwegian Army has implemented a Meatless Monday meal plan. A movement that originally began as a system of rationing in World War I under then-head of the Food Administration, Herbert Hoover, Meatless Monday (along with “Wheatless Wednesday”) returned in World War II to serve in a similar capacity.
In 2003, Sid Lerner revived the concept in a partnership with Johns Hopkins Bloomberg
School of Public Health’s Center for a Livable Future in response not to the starving populations of Europe, but rather to the increased “prevalence of preventable illnesses associated with excessive meat consumption.”
And they are indeed prevalent. Higher con-sumption of red and processed meats increases the risk of Type 2 diabetes; heart disease can be reduced by 19 percent by replacing foods rich in saturated fat (meat and full fat dairy) with poly-unsaturated fatty foods (vegetable oils, nuts and seeds). In one study, conducted with 44,561 par-ticipants, vegetarians proved 32 percent less likely to develop heart disease. In addition, by eliminat-ing red meat, you can eliminate a substantial risk factor for colon cancer.
There’s a new public white board space near the entrance of the University Library as a part of the “2 Degrees and You” exhibit, and recently the prompt concerned how we can slow and reduce the effects of climate change. My suggestion is to choose a day of the week not to put chicken in your stir fry, or to choose sofritas instead of beef for your burrito at Chipotle.
I’ve done it, and I am glad to know that my decision not only keeps me healthy, but also eliminates risks to our planet.
Plus, I found a way to turn my tragedy into a comedy of sorts: I can have my cake and eat it too. Happily.

This Monday, get on the ‘meatless’ bandwagon
It is obvious that culture has become extremely dependent on technology. However, it may not be so apparent that advertisements, particularly for fashion, have come to rely on technology such as Photoshop to engineer society’s definition of a perfect model — especially when the models are already stunning to begin with. Though this is not strictly a women’s issue, it is an issue that is more prominent in the lives of women than in the lives of men. As a result, women, generally young ones, who see the images of altered models tend to develop negative feelings about their own bodies.
It is refreshing to see a new, more positive trend arising: rejection of unattainable standards of beauty. Companies such as Dove and Aerie have started campaigns to focus on women’s “real beauty.” Dove features models of differing body types and skin colors, inspiring confidence in all of them. Aerie has taken a stance against airbrushing models, asserting that the way women really look is beautiful. All companies should embrace these realistic expectations of women’s bodies because this trend is beneficial to women around the world and to the companies themselves.
Unfortunately, many women still develop eating disorders, and the media’s interpretation of beauty causes this problem. Up to 24 mil-lion people suffer from an eating disorder in the United States, and approximately 95 percent of them are between the ages of 12 and 25. It is especially beneficial for ads to promote a healthy image of beauty, and by doing so, these devastat-ingly high numbers will surely decrease.
If women are shown that even seemingly flawless celebrities that they admire need to be retouched in order to look good enough for a magazine cover or advertisement, then viewers will think that there is no way that they could look beautiful. However, if women see an advertise-ment of a model who looks like them in terms of weight and body type, then she will believe that she is just as beautiful. This shift in the thought process of female consumers will inevitably raise their self-esteem and alleviate some of the stress to look a certain way. This will lead to happier and healthier female consumers.
Though campaigns for real beauty can be beneficial for female consumers, companies fail to see that these efforts will be just as advantageous for them as the unreasonable efforts they cur-rently promote. The average American woman is 5-foot-4 and weighs 140 pounds. By comparison, the average American model is 5-foot-11 and weighs 117 pounds. The fashion and advertising
industries feed off of women’s unrealistic expec-tations of their bodies to make a profit. In turn, these expectations are perpetuated. If these industries focused on campaigns that promoted the beauty of all body types, they would be able to break the unreasonable hopes that women have for their bodies, and these industries would be able to profit as well. Promoting healthy body images for women will not stop a company from making money.
Not only can real beauty campaigns positively
affect American women’s perceptions of their own bodies and lead them to be healthier and happier, but they can also be valuable to companies in terms of effective marketing. With no outstanding drawbacks to this new movement, American soci-ety appears senseless to have not fully embraced it.

Happiness class: I laughed it off at first. But when my little sister told me the definition of happiness her teacher told her to memorize, I realized it was no joke.
So isn’t this great? One of the biggest causes of teenage suicide in South Korea is academic stress — just too much work. However, the government thinks the best way to solve teenage unhappiness is through more work. Because happiness needs to be learned, and to learn means to create a formal class — the logic goes — as opposed to freeing up the already shackled children, as I thought.
Switzerland, Norway, Ireland, Sweden and Denmark ranked in the top five in the life sat-isfaction section of the Better Life Index from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Hungary, Portugal, Greece,
Turkey and Estonia are at the bottom. The OECD measured life satisfaction by asking people to rate on a scale of zero to 10 “their life as a whole rather than their current feelings.” The happiest countries gave an average of 7.5 — Switzerland gave 7.8 — and the unhappiest averaged less than 5.5, with Hungary as low as 4.7. The OECD average was 6.6.
I spent two years in the United States for elementary school, three years in Belgium for middle school and the rest in South Korea. According to the happiness stats, the U.S. is at 7.0, Belgium 6.9 and Korea 6.0. But has my happiness decreased or increased because of where I am and who surrounds me?
Although I can’t speak for everybody, my personal experience tells me that this is not necessarily so.
Yes, it is generally discouraged to go see a psychologist in Korea, compared to Belgium or the U.S. My best friend back in Belgium was forced to go see one by her parents who thought she had an attitude problem. I never heard anyone publicly admit that in Korea, at
least not among the people I knew.It might just mean that rather than psychol-
ogists, people prefer friends to talk to. One of the most popular talk shows in Korea is called “Healing Camp.” In each ”therapy session,” the hosts invite celebrities or other influential indi-viduals such as politicians, athletes, announcers and even religious leaders to heal not only the guests, but the entire nation.
At home, I know my family has at least five or six different versions of Dale Carnegie’s “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living,” which in Korean is translated as “Happiness Theory.” My dad probably knows everything that is in it by now, and yet he buys another copy every other year as if to reiterate his efforts.
There is no designated formula or easy shortcut to happiness. It seems to come innately: When we are children, we seem to grasp it easier. But maybe that’s because we can grasp onto lollipops and feel the simple joys more easily.
I looked up some of Korea’s “Happiness
Class” curriculum throughout different middle schools and I realized it wasn’t like what my prejudice led me to believe at first. The “text-book” was a comic book, which surprised me. One school even started a “Thanking Diary” where students learn that “happiness is not a given but something made.” Students make efforts to realize how happy they are by writing down what they are thankful for.
And maybe happiness is like that too. You can’t be close-minded about it. The mechanical efforts — like making students write “Thanking Diaries,” having a formal class on happiness to start discussion and reflection on how it can be achieved or buying self-help books — may sound inorganic. But in an age of ever more complicated problems we need to embrace dif-ferent approaches and views toward a universal goal of being happy.

of a choir as a communal instrument and I wanted to use that possibility to examine the very community they’re a part of.”
The choir is comprised of 24 singers, all Henry and Leigh Bienen School of Music students, and is conducted by Bienen Prof. Donald Nally. Choir member Kate Lee said the composers arrived Saturday to sit in on a rehearsal and provided valuable insights and critiques.
“Their comments were really inspirational and transformative to our performances,” the Bienen sophomore said. “It made it a really special and unique concert experience.”
The concert was preceded by a discus-sion with the composers and followed by a reception.

of Northwestern University Health Service, the flu season at NU has been very mild. Despite the high instances of flu in Cook County, there has been only about one diagnosed case per week at NU’s health services in the new year, Alexander said.
“Obviously some people might have it that don’t contact us,” Alexander said. “But it may be the mildest season in the 12 years I’ve been here.”
Flu activity usually peaks in January but can carry on as late as April, Currie said. The dis-ease, which affects the respiratory system, is easily spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
This ease of transmission, Currie said, makes frequent hand washing and care with disposal
of used tissues essential to preventing more infections.
She also noted the importance of taking a day off if you are sick so as to not infect oth-ers, despite how the culture of work and of students in the United States can discourage staying at home.
“If you do get sick, just let yourself be sick,” Currie said.
The Centers for Disease Control and Pre-vention recommends a yearly flu vaccine for everyone six months of age and older. Vaccines are still available at NUHS, Currie said.
“Flu shots are the first line of defense,” she added.

users from syncing the application to other devices without having to scan codes multiple times.
“Some people maybe don’t care about pri-vacy, but for people who do, I don’t think there’s a perfect app,” said Yun Ye, an intern for Secret Square and Communication gradu-ate student.
Tarzia began programming the application in November for a company located in down-town Chicago. As the vice president and general manager of consumer products at Vaporstream, Tarzia oversees secure messaging technology marketed to businesses.
Anderson and Tarzia said NU students gen-erally regarded the application positively, but some were skeptical about the need to shield content from the public. Others said apps already exist that satisfy their social media
privacy needs.Tarzia admitted it is difficult to explain to
others the need for privacy from entities that manage the back ends of applications.
Feeds on the app do not show the names of the message sender. The anonymity of the application, however, can seem unnecessary among groups of friends, said John Kim, one of four interns publicizing the application.
“The only problem is close friends don’t have anything to hide,” the Communication junior said. “I think (what) we try to do is use it for more intimacy.”
Tarzia said using the technology has opened up his relationship with his wife.
“Knowing that what you’re sending is not going to be there sometimes lowers inhibi-tions,” Tarzia said. “You say sillier things.”
Since its launch on iOS devices, 115 people have downloaded the free application.
The company is still in its early stages, with Anderson and Tarzia working as full-time
employees.Before widening his marketing net, Tarzia
said he would like to gather more input from college students.
Part of the challenge he faces in getting feed-back is attracting groups of people to test out the technology. He is working on a mainte-nance update for Secret Square that is being processed through Apple.
Tarzia said he envisions Secret Square coex-isting with social media platforms such as Face-book. Future activities to promote the brand on NU’s campus may include scavenger hunts or speed dating, Anderson said.
“By using Secret Square you’re protecting your future self,” Anderson said. “(Today) people are more reluctant to share everything they want to share. ... One of our goals is to give them confidence that they can say what they want.”

Following the candidates’ presentations, voters cast their ballots for endorsement and awaited the governor’s arrival. A small escort of gray cars with flashing lights dropped Quinn off at the restaurant.
Quinn painted a rosy picture of the Illinois economy, noting that the state led the Midwest in job creation since May. He stressed, however, that many social problems exist in issues such as health insurance and minimum wage. The state has been working to address health care cover-age by enrolling people through the Affordable Care Act.
Quinn said he traveled across the state with Quentin Young, the former physician of Martin Luther King Jr., in support of increased health care coverage.
“We walked all across our state to Chicago on Lake Michigan on behalf of this fundamental prin-ciple of everybody in and nobody left out when it comes to healthcare coverage,” Quinn said.
During his presentation, he took a shot at Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner, calling him a billionaire who favored wage cuts. Quinn announced that he was seeking a $10 minimum wage amid applause from the local Democrats.
Investing in early childhood education and increasing the number of scholarships state-wide are also essential to the state’s well-being, he said.
“We understand that organizing is not just something you do once in a while. If we’re going to change America, if we’re going to change Illinois, we’ve got to do it one day at a time.”

Seniors go out with whimper in loss to IowaBy Kendra Mayerthe daily northwestern @kendra_mayer
Northwestern’s senior meet Saturday was bitter-sweet, as the Wildcats lost by 10 points to the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Coach Jimmy Tierney said his team swam well, but it was unfortunate the seniors didn’t get a victory on their special day.
Sophomore Julianne Kurke, senior Becca Soder-holm and freshman Ellen Stello still put up great times, Tierney said. Kurke won both her breaststroke events, with Solderholm and Stello speeding through their butterfly events.
This is not NU’s last chance to beat Iowa, Tierney added.
“The (Shamrock) Invitational will be scored as a dual meet, so we have a chance to get back in the pool and win,” Tierney said.
Junior Madeleine Klichowski said Saturday’s meet showed areas where the team could improve. More than anything the meet was about the seniors, she emphasized.
“Today was a big culmination of senior week,” she
said. “Every race, every action was for the seniors.”The backstroker said winning every meet isn’t
important, and she hopes NU will come back strong at the Shamrock.
Diver Caroline Grant said though it was difficult to watch the women’s swim team fall just short, the diving team excelled.
Senior diver Mary Kate Campbell scored a remark-able lifetime best for her 3-meter dive, and Grant got a season-high score in her 1-meter event.
Grant said the swimmers and divers fed off one another’s positive energy and helped the team keep their excitement level up throughout the meet.
The diver also said the Shamrock Invitational will offer an opportunity to get pumped up and focused without the extreme pressure of the Big Tens.
Sophomore Emily Launer expressed a similar feel-ing and added the invitational is also a chance for the Cats to measure their improvement. The event will give the team opportunities to avenge close loses against Notre Dame and Iowa, she said.
The freestyler said NU’s morale was higher than ever, even after the day’s loss.
“We’re going to fight,” Launer said.

first of two five-minute basket-less stretches in the first half. Crawford kept the team close throughout the period, scoring 13 of NU’s 24 points, but the tide turned after halftime.
“We have to score. We weren’t going to hold them to the 40s,” Collins said. “Our margin for error is slim. When we play a team this good, we’re going to have to shoot well. We’re going to have to not turn it over. We’re going to have to hope they miss some shots they normally hit.”
The difference wasn’t scheme or execution.“Both teams played really hard,” the coach said.
“They’re just better than us.”

guard as usual, and Inman hit her big shots when NU needed them most. Deary ended the game with 10 points and Inman racked up 12 of her own.
Coffey and Deary said playing better team bas-ketball should help in blowout losses but it is better rebounding, the freshmen said, which will help the Cats be more assertive in close games. The Cornhuskers snagged 47 rebounds compared to the Cats’ 39.
“We just needed a win like this,” McKeown said. “This is our third or fourth win over a top-20 team this year, so it shows us how good we can be.”

Cats stun Hawkeyes with final relay comebackBy John Paschalldaily senior staffer @John_Paschall
Breaking a habit can sometimes take a herculean team effort.
But nothing was too tall of a task for Northwestern on Saturday as it snapped a five-meet losing streak to No. 21 Iowa on the final race, shocking the Hawkeyes on Senior Day, 151-149.
The best part about the Wildcats’ vic-tory was that they didn’t even realize they won after the team’s two relay squads fin-ished first and second in the last event, the 400-yard freestyle.
The Cats thought they had tied.After the 1-meter diving event, senior
Nick Pinkerton’s score put him in sixth place, which wouldn’t have scored NU any points. However, in his final meet at the Sports Pavilion and Aquatics Center, the veteran diver noticed something wrong.
“When I looked at my score, it was way too low,” Pinkerton said. “So I brought it to the attention of the meet officials.”
It turned out the officials were 30 points off. Instead of finishing in sixth place, Pinkerton launched to third, a change that was critical in the meet’s final outcome.
But nobody told coach Jarod Schroeder or his team that Pinkerton’s score had changed before the final relay. When the score flashed NU 151, Iowa 149, the roof blew off SPAC.
The scene was eerily similar to the end of the Senior Day meet in the 2011-2012 season, when NU beat Missouri on a winner-take-all final relay by .01 seconds. Senior Chase Stephens said it was incred-ibly relieving to finally get the Hawkeyes’ monkey off the Cats’ back.
“I might go home and recount the
points to make sure,” Stephens said. “But it feels really good to say we beat Iowa and have the alumni there supporting us. It was a 24-man effort today, but there was a lot more riding on it for the seniors.”
Depth had always been a factor hold-ing NU back from taking the next step. On Saturday, it was the swimmers who came in third, fourth and fifth that ended up being the difference in the 2-point victory.
“We are really starting to make steps forward with our depth, which is very impressive,” Stephens said. “In this last meet, we saw the steps forward we are taking with a team that is very deep and will continue to be deep. That’s the only way we can win in the future.”
After losing the 200-yard medley relay to start the meet, NU captured the lead with back-to-back wins in the 1,000-yard freestyle from the reliable sophomore Jordan Wilimovsky and the 200-yard freestyle with freshman Charlie Cole, who continued his impressive first-year campaign. The Cats would then go on to lose the next three events and fall behind until Stephens posted consecutive wins in the 50 and 100-yard freestyle.
Trouble was brewing when Iowa cap-tured first and second in the 200-yard breaststroke. Though NU was able to perform well in the 500-yard freestyle, claiming first and second place, the Cats needed to build a cushion heading into the final two events because the 200-yard IM was their major point of weakness.
Junior Mark Ferguson stepped up for the team, when he glided to a first place fin-ish in the 100-yard butterfly, which fired up his team.
Staring at an 11-point deficit heading into the final 400-yard freestyle relay, the Cats needed a first and second place finish to win the meet.
The race was tight, as expected, after the first two swimmers for each relay unit had gone. But Schroeder felt confident NU was in good position.
“I knew that if we were even going in to the final two swimmers, we had a good chance to win,” he said. “So I was jumping up and down like crazy.”
Schroeder saved his best two freestyle sprinters, Stephens and freshman Andrew Jovanovic for the anchor position on both of NU’s relays. That decision turned out to be the difference in winning and los-ing that race and the meet as Stephens, who was on the ‘B’ relay, finished ahead of the Iowa ‘A’ relay by .4 seconds to seal
the victory.“It was a great ending,” senior captain
Tim Smith said. “I don’t know if it could’ve gone any better. I know the guys put so much into that last relay.”
NU will now have to regroup and pre-pare for one last final meet against Mil-waukee next Friday.
“Maybe we just have to have Senior Day every week,” Schroeder said.

cOlE WORld Freshman Charlie Cole’s victory in the 200-yard freestyle helped Northwestern emerge with a dramatic Senior Day victory on Saturday over archrival Iowa. The Wildcats rallied on the final relay to triumph.
By alex Puttermandaily senior staffer @AlexPutt02
It was a different style but an identi-cal result for Northwestern, which fell to Iowa by 26 for the second time this month.
The Wildcats (10-11, 3-5 Big Ten) hung around with the No. 10 Hawkeyes (16-4, 5-2) on Saturday at Welsh-Ryan Arena but eventually succumbed to Iowa’s superior talent, falling 76-50.
The blowout loss was, for NU, dis-appointingly similar to its previous matchup, which the Hawkeyes won 93-67 in Iowa City, Iowa, on Jan. 9. After that game, NU committed to slowing the game down and focusing on defense. With that approach, the Cats won three of their previous four games heading into Saturday.
But the change in style ultimately didn’t affect the final margin, even though the game was closer for most of the after-noon than it was the last time. But, as coach Chris Collins pointed out, the game was effectively over by halftime.
“I thought we played better,” Collins said. “I look more about how the game was played. … It was about them playing well, not about us playing that poorly.”
NU trailed by only 6 at halftime and by 4 early in the second half, but Iowa pulled away with 7-0 and 11-0 runs. The Hawkeyes outscored the Cats 32-10 over the game’s final 17 minutes.
Iowa won the battle inside, grabbing 13 offensive rebounds to NU’s five and scoring 32 points in the paint to the Cats’ 22. Sophomore center Alex Olah converted just two of his nine field goal attempts and pulled down only four rebounds.
“They might be the best offensive
rebounding team in our league,” Collins said, listing off the Hawkeyes’ collection of lengthy big men. “Sometimes it’s tough to block those guys out. Our guys are trying. They were battling. But especially in the second half, as we got a little tired, their offensive rebounds were even big-ger. The fatigue was starting to get to us, and their length and size was wearing us down.”
Iowa’s scoring was impressively bal-anced, with six players tallying 8 or more points and no one finishing with more than 14. After a scoreless first half, Hawkeyes leading scorer Roy Devyn Marble notched 14 after halftime. For-ward Gabriel Olaseni added 14 of his own — as well as 10 rebounds — includ-ing the game’s flashiest highlight, a fero-cious one-handed put-back dunk.
That same balance was noticeably lacking for the Cats. Senior forward Drew Crawford was by far NU’s most produc-tive offensive player, scoring 20 points on 8-for-17 shooting, and sophomore guard Tre Demps was the team’s only other player in double figures, finishing with 11 points. In total, only four players scored more than 2 points, compared to 8 for Iowa.
“Guys are going to be hot one night. Who’s scoring on our team doesn’t really matter,” Crawford said. “It’s got to be a team effort. Everyone has to do their job. It has got to come from all over.”

At a passing glance, Northwestern was outplayed by No. 21 Nebraska on Sunday afternoon.
Especially during the game’s first half, the Cornhuskers’ hands were a little more careful than the Wildcats’ were. Their plays ran a little sharper and their defense moved a little more quickly. But shooting, intangibles and the last two minutes of the game made all the difference, pav-ing the way for NU’s (13-7, 3-4 Big Ten) 63-59 win against Nebraska (13-5, 3-3).
Sunday’s contest at Welsh-Ryan Arena was the second close game of the season between the conference rivals — the Cornhuskers edged the Cats 66-65 earlier this season in Lincoln, Neb.
The second time around was equally neck-and-neck, with the lead bouncing back and forth all afternoon.
Coach Joe McKeown joked his team should take the week off more often — NU played Purdue on Thursday but had not played before that since Saturday, Jan. 18.
“Nebraska’s a legitimate top-20 team and I think we had a little extra in our tank,” McKeown said. “I think our team felt like after the game in Lincoln. ... We felt like we could go toe to toe with them.”
The Cats led the Cornhuskers in shooting percentage for almost the entire contest and ended the game with 39 percent field goal average, compared to Nebraska’s 32.3 percent.
NU also notably outshot the Corn-huskers from beyond the arc, ending with a 41.2 percent average against Nebraska’s 29.4 percent.
But it was the last two minutes of game — the most exciting of the entire scrappy contest — that was NU’s saving grace.
The Cats went on a 9-4 run with two minutes left before the final buzzer. Freshman guard Ashley Deary kicked
off NU’s streak with a 3-pointer, her sec-ond of the night. From there, sophomore guard Maggie Lyon made a layup, fresh-man guard Christen Inman stole the ball from Nebraska and then sunk a 3 and junior forward Alex Cohen came up with a huge block.
“I was wide open, and I guess I had to shoot it. My teammates had confidence in me to knock it down,” Deary said. “It
was definitely a team effort, the last two minutes.”
Freshman forward Nia Coffey and Deary were once again critical elements to the Cats’ success. Coffey was all over the court and drove NU’s scrappy transi-tion play. Coffey ended the night with 22 points, 10 rebounds and four steals, the team leader in all three categories.
The forward was also largely respon-sible for holding Nebraska’s Jordan Hooper, who ranks third in the Big Ten in scoring and second in rebounding, to 11 points and eight rebounds.
