Lunice to play at Dillo

Beyond the numbersBy ALLY MUTNICK!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+)@allymutnick

Even before she came to campus for an admitted student day last April, Weinberg freshman Karley Woods heard about the tense state of race rela-tions at Northwestern, an issue that made her hesitant to enroll.

“It was just around that time when all the bias incidents were occurring,” she said. “Obviously, it’s not the most positive thing to read about a school that you are looking into.”

Woods’ visit was organized by Ambassadors, a program that recruits prospective black students. A. er visit-ing the multicultural community, she decided she wanted to help make cam-pus more inclusive.

Last fall, Woods joined NU’s increas-ingly diverse student body, the result of concerted e/ orts by the O0 ce of Under-graduate Admission to draw greater numbers of black, Hispanic, interna-tional and low-income students. Nearly 12 percent of the class of 3245 will be “non-majority students,” as described by University o0 cials.

With a more than 42,222-application increase and an acceptance rate that has been cut almost in half since 3225, NU is reaping the bene6 ts of a 6 ve-year recruitment strategy that has seen unprecedented success. Part of that plan involved sending admissions o0 cers to more high schools across the nation and the world, with the goals of increasing the applicant pool and attracting top students from a range of backgrounds.

Increased diversity aside, numeric gains have not necessarily translated into a more inclusive campus. Some students and faculty members say a heavy focus on numbers is not enough, given recent incidents and discussion surrounding diversity over the last year.

“It doesn’t matter if you bring

— instead of 322 Latinos — 722 Latinos, if they are not going to feel safe,” said Sobeida Peralta, co-president of Latino student group Alianza.A recruiting revamp

When Christopher Watson, dean of undergraduate admissions, came to NU in 3225, he was ready to improve the recruiting process.

He helped divide the admissions o0 ce into nine recruitment regions — eight for the United States and one for other countries. NU admissions o0 cers also doubled their on-the-road travel time to 6 ve weeks. 8 e Univer-sity increased its recruiting e/ orts from about 722 high schools in 3225 to about 4,722 this year.

“We didn’t want to make the assump-tion that everyone was going to come to us or that they could come to us, so we

needed to go to them,” Watson said.8 e new strategy’s success has been

re9 ected in the numbers.In the last 6 ve years, applications

have risen more than :; percent to about 77,222. 8 e admit rate dropped from 3<.= percent to 47.; percent. And the percentage of admitted students committing to NU in the spring grew from 77.5 percent to an estimated ::.1

percent.Early Decision applications reached

an all-time high for the class of 3245, with 3,<14 applicants, said Michael Mills, associate provost for university enrollment. A record :7 percent of the class of 3245 was admitted early deci-sion because more applicants were quali6 ed, Watson said.

Although NU has worked to send recruiters to potential students, more students than ever are coming to Evan-ston. Visits to campus have doubled since 3225 to 12,222 visitors a year. 8 e current admissions o0 ce at 4=24 Hin-man Ave. is getting crowded, increas-ing the need for the new lakeside visi-tor center that is slated to open in 324:, Watson said.

Lunice, half of electronic duo TNGHT, will be the next-to-last act of Dillo Day, Mayfest announced 8 ursday night.

Mayfest representatives said they chose the artist following a campus-wide survey that found trap music — southern-in9 u-enced electronic music — was popular among Northwestern students. Lunice, known for his work with artists like rap-per Kanye West, will take the stage 5 p.m. June 4.

“It makes you want to have a good time, dance around and enjoy yourself,” said Weinberg junior Xander Shepherd, Mayfest concerts chair. “Lunice was a great route to take. Whether people know it or not, it is constantly played at parties across campus.”

Mayfest representatives said Dillo Day attendees will recognize the artist from popular party music, like TNGHT’s song “Higher Ground.” 8 ey also said some students would be familiar with him from his appearance in the music video “343.”

Shepard added the artist was “festival-tested.” TNGHT has appeared at Mad Decent Block Party and Coachella.

Mayfest co-chair Jeremy Shpizner said this year, they decided to choose a second-to-last act that would lead into the 6 nal act, unlike last year when they had a double-headliner format. Last year, the 6 nal performers of the night were rapper Big Boi and electronic artist Steve Aoki.

“We’re always playing around with structure,” Shpizner said.

Mayfest co-chair Wil Heintz said Lunice will amp up the crowd for the 6 nal act. Mayfest has not yet announced the last performer or the a. ernoon rock act.

“We want to make sure everyone is amped up for the end of the night,” said Heintz, a Weinberg senior. “It’s the perfect lead-in to get people pumped.”

Team Joseph, a Detroit-based organization that aims to 6 nd a treat-ment or cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, will be the primary ben-e6 ciary for next year’s Northwestern Dance Marathon, the philanthropy announced 8 ursday evening.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the most common degenerative genetic muscle disease. More than ;; percent of cases of Duchenne occur in boys, and the disease a/ ects 4 in every 7,122 boys.

Team Joseph is named after 42-year-old Joseph Penrod, who is currently 6 ghting Duchenne. 8 e dis-ease is 422 percent fatal and its vic-tims have a life expectancy of their early 32s.

DM spokeswoman Summer Dela-ney said the urgency of 6 nding a cure expressed by Marissa Penrod, Joseph’s mother and the organization’s founder

and CEO, is what pushed Team Joseph’s application over the top.

“8 is generation of boys that have Duchenne will either be the last to

die of it or the 6 rst to survive with it,” said Delaney, quoting Team Joseph’s application. “Despite Duchenne being 422 percent fatal and a somber topic,

there is hope for the future.”8 e :2th edition of Dance Mar-

athon will take place March 5-;, 324:.

DM spokesman David Harris said the sense of urgency of Team Joseph’s mission made it a cause that connected with the philanthropy’s goals. He said the organization, which was chosen from more than 51 appli-cants, will 6 t well with the energy and momentum DM brings to both the NU community and its bene6 ciary.

“It’s not a matter of if we’ll ever cure Duchenne, it’s when and how many children and families will be so dramatically a? icted before we 6 nd a treatment or cure,” said Harris, a SESP junior.

8 e proceeds from DM will go toward research initiatives for 6 nding a treatment or cure, as well as estab-lishing a program to 6 nancially sup-port families a/ ected by Duchenne.

Penrod said she attended DM in 3243 and was impressed with the

ECF hands out record number of grantsBy JOSEPH DIEBOLD!"#$% &'(#)* &+",,'* @JosephDiebold

The Evanston Community Foundation celebrated its biggest year ever Thursday night with a presentation of its new slate of -. grants.

The organization will award /-01,231 for its spring grants cycle, the most in its history and more than 41 percent higher than last year, when /-45,111 was awarded. The foun-dation also hopes to give more than /211,111 by the end of the year.

More than 53 groups applied for grants, and ECF president Sara Schastok said the organi-zation would have liked to give even more.

“This year it was really challenging,” Schas-tok said. “We had more money than ever, but we didn’t have enough, and the proposals were very strong this year so it was just a case of how far down the money would go.”

The foundation awarded grants to -. orga-nizations that ranged from /6,111 to /46,111. The Midwest Child-Parent Centers Expan-sion, which offers educational support for low-income families with young children, received a /43,111 grant as part of a special foundation initiative.

The foundation has a close relationship

with Northwestern’s Dance Marathon. It has been DM’s secondary beneficiary for 47 years, and this year’s marathon marked the passage of /4,111,111 in total donations from DM to the foundation, with /2-,655 donated in -146 alone.

Three of the -. grants announced Thursday were funded with contributions from DM: /6,111 to the Evanston School Children’s Clothing Association, /5,111 to Literacy Works and /7,111 to the Children’s Advo-cacy Center of North and Northwest Cook County.

DM’s co-chairs for -146 and -140 attended Thursday’s ceremony to announce the part-nership will continue for DM and share the news that -140’s primary beneficiary will be Detroit-based Team Joseph, which seeks a cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

“We’re really proud to support what the Evanston Community Foundation does and also what all of you do,” DM co-chair Anna Radoff, a Weinberg junior, said at the ceremony.

The DM co-chairs also serve on the founda-tion’s 44-member grants committee. Commit-tee co-chair Diana Cohen said DM brings a unique perspective to the grant process.

“It’s immeasurable,” Cohen said of DM’s contributions to the foundation. “And it’s not only the financial contribution, which is a

very significant element of what we’re able to do. The co-chairs bring a lot to the table. They really help focus some of the discussions and really do bring an important dimension to the rating.”

Friends, family memorialize marketing pioneerBy AMY WHYTE!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+) @amywhyteNU

Friends, family and former colleagues of Medill Prof. Ted Spiegel remembered his contri-butions to marketing and education at a memo-rial service .ursday.

Spiegel helped establish the Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Com-munications’ direct marketing program. He died May // at the age of 01.

Spiegel joined Northwestern in /203 a4er a 56-year career in marketing and never le4. Even a4er taking on emeritus status, he developed and launched the Spiegel Digital & Database Research Initiative, a program which he only grudgingly allowed to be named a4er him, for-mer colleague Tom Collinger told a crowd of about 166 at Alice Millar Chapel.

“I’m very proud of one of the only debates I won with him, putting his name on that initia-tive,” Collinger said. “I so hope he died proud of

what he birthed, not just in this initiative but in his inspiration to others.”

Collinger, who described Spiegel as always looking forward, also remembered Spiegel’s pas-sion for education.

“Ted knew what was next was a revolution in education, and that we had to be at the front of it,” he said.

Maureen O’Hara, who had been a friend of Spiegel’s daughter, said he encouraged her own love of education. She described Spiegel as a mentor and father 7gure who urged her to fol-low her dreams, helping her apply to school to become a teacher.

“As I experienced adversity in my personal life ... Ted was always there to provide support, guidance and understanding,” O’Hara said.

Spiegel’s nephews Ted Linhart and Peter Hirshberg each spoke at the service, recalling the mentorship and encouragement they had received from their uncle while growing up. Lin-hart credited Spiegel for teaching him everything he knew, from running a business to being a good husband.

“Ted is someone who really disproportionately in8uenced so many of our lives,” Hirshberg said. “He had such standards and expectations that he always wanted you to do your best and you never wanted to let him down — and, in fact, it wasn’t an option.”

Hirshberg described how his uncle modern-ized the family mail-order business, revamping the Spiegel brand with new marketing tactics. When Spiegel took his marketing skills to Medill, where he helped create what is now the Inte-grated Marketing Communications program, Hirshberg said it was “the right program at the right time.” He said the Medill program prepared students to run companies in the Internet age.

Spiegel’s sister, Barbara Linhart, described her brother as a passionate educator, business leader and patriarch.

“Ted was a good in8uence on every commu-nity that he touched,” Linhart said. “You don’t realize how good judgment can be until you see it up close ... We will all miss Ted very much.”

ASG Senate, College Feminists spar over A-status fundingBy CAT ZAKRZEWSKI$%&'( -#)&*+ -!%99#+ @Cat_Zakrzewski

After some contentious moments during a funding session for A-status groups Wednes-day night, Northwestern College Feminists were awarded additional money only to have much of it cut minutes later after allegations of financial misconduct.

The Senate initially awarded College Fem-inists :1,;<5 more than what the Student Appropriations Finance Committee recom-mended to fund a performance of the “The

Vagina Monologues.” However, after much debate over College Feminists’ past use of ASG funds, the Senate moved to slash :1,=66 from the group’s allocations, leaving it with only :/<5 to fund the show.

In the past, ASG funded “The Vagina Mono-logues,” but College Feminists were unable to secure the money for a performance this academic year.

Lauren Cichock, co-director of College Feminists, implored Senate for the additional funding for next year’s performance, explain-ing the production this year only occurred because students paid out of pocket for it.

Tori Zuzelo, a board member for the Student

Appropriations Finance Committee, said the SAFC did not fund the group’s request ini-tially due to concerns of financial misconduct. Zuzelo, a Weinberg junior, claimed the group ignored ASG regulations that prohibit groups from holding the performances during Read-ing Period and failed to properly communicate with its account executive.

Zuzelo also challenged the group’s request to hold the performance in a new venue, Pick-Staiger Concert Hall.

She said the group had previously per-formed successfully in other venues that were free, such as Fisk Hall and McCormick Tribune Center.

“It will give the SAFC time to evaluate what we would like to do with this event, whether it deserves a financial misconduct or not, and it will let the group decide whether or not they even want to apply for it as a loan. So there’s no need for them to get the funding,” she said during the Senate meeting.

Zuzelo’s recommendation stood during the cut round. Senate spent almost half an hour debating the group’s funding between both the add and the cut round.

While studying abroad, don’t remain silent

Study abroad. It’s been on your mind forever. Everyone tells you to do it. ! ey all say it’s the cornerstone of your college experience. So you decide to go for it, to venture o" to China, India, Spain, the United Kingdom or another one of Earth’s exotic places.

You think your life will consist of loung-ing on the beach, or jaunting around to every tourist destination, every hole-in-the-wall restaurant. You see yourself posing for dozens of photos in front of the landmarks you’ve only seen in books, balancing yourself on top of a camel, clubbing with your friends until sunrise. You won’t have a care in the world.

But the truth is, study abroad isn’t just a three-month party. You won’t always be happy and careless. And you have to be prepared for that.

I was in London in the fall, the same quarter as Alyssa Weaver. Our programs shared an orientation, and though I never met her, we were probably sitting in the same room dur-ing our # rst few hours abroad. We likely heard the same in-country sta" member talk about a slew of logistical details: navigating the Tube, obtaining medical services, planning weekend trips. We heard about culture shock and the feelings you may experience: homesickness, frustration, anxiety, depression.

At the time, I had dismissed all of that. “! is is England,” I thought. “It’s not THAT di" erent from the U.S.” I didn’t take in the information on strategies for making the cultural adjust-ment. I didn’t heavily consider that anybody’s pre-existing anxiety or depression could be eas-ily exacerbated. I didn’t really know the avail-able resources to help out those falling through the cracks.

I wonder if Weaver did. Really, I wonder if anyone did.

! e stress of being so far away is never easy. Regardless of whether you’re in a ! ird World country with no running water or somewhere as industrialized as London, there will be days when you will feel homesick. You’ll miss your friends and family, that sense of # tting e" ort-lessly into place. You may # nd yourself feeling especially crappy on the holidays you usually spend at home, something I knew all too well on ! anksgiving as I sat in class staring out at the late a$ ernoon darkness.

In many cases, though, you can pick your-self up. Go for a walk in a nearby park. Grab a pastry and go window-shopping. A couple of treats from Ben’s Cookies — a must if you’ll be in London — and browsing the % oors of Har-rods perked me up on that ! anksgiving night. Peruse a museum or visit a landmark, and don’t be afraid to do it alone. ! e sights you see and people you encounter are o$ en enough to bring you out of a funk and remind you why you went abroad in the # rst place.

And in those scenarios where the sadness is just too much to bear yourself, talk to someone.

Con# de in a friend. Reach out to your family. Tell your program’s in-country sta" members. ! ough it may seem that there aren’t enough mental health resources to go around or an adequate way to identify at-risk students— issues the Study Abroad O& ce is addressing — the individuals on site want you to be happy, and they will try their best to get you there.

But most importantly, no matter how di& -cult it is, don’t be silent.

If someone asks you how you’re doing, be honest. Let your support system rally around you. Let them help pick you up if you can’t do it yourself.

And don’t forget to do the same for those you see who are struggling, to tell them you are ready and willing to listen. ! is part is so nec-essary to create a culture free of stigmatization of mental health issues. It’s the key to making sure that those in need will talk to someone.

! e people who told you to study abroad were right: It’s an unforgettable learning experi-ence, one that cannot be simulated in the U.S. But it’d be a lie to sugarcoat it as something that was perfect in every way. It’s inevitable that there will be days where you feel down, so knowledge of how to cope — whether it’s on your own or with the help of someone else — is imperative.

JILLIAN SANDLEROPINION EDITOR

Last summer, I had an internship with the Chicago branch of the Federal Defender Pro-gram. I worked as a legal intern, helping one of the lawyers in the o& ce with his cases. While there, I found out one of the other lawyers was a somewhat well-known jazz musician. He plays a couple instruments, has CDs and performs regularly at a bar in Andersonville.

I asked him why he gave up on music and decided to become a lawyer. His answer? It was time to grow up.

Of course, when he did decide to grow up, he was '(. And, of course, he still plays music. He told me not to settle down with a career or fam-ily right a$ er college. Live in a crummy apart-ment, work any job you want and have fun for a few years. A year later, I remember his advice but not his name.

! e school year is coming to a close, and for the seniors, that means they are just weeks away from entering the real world. It’s time for them to live on their own, pay their own bills and work. Some seniors have jobs lined up. Others have internships. Some are still waiting to hear back from jobs. And some don’t have any idea what they are going to do for the next year, let alone the next )* years.

Northwestern is a high-stress environment full of overachievers. ! ey start building their resumes beginning their freshman year, in the hopes of great success when they graduate. But this begs the question: What constitutes success?

My boyfriend, a senior, once told me NU students have a distorted sense of what “success” means. Sure, getting into a top law, medical or graduate school is great. So is working at a large banking or consulting # rm. So is winning a pres-tigious fellowship. But is there anything wrong with being a barista in a co" ee shop for a year or working in a store? My boyfriend said he would be perfectly happy selling eyeglasses or cheese for a year or two and being a volunteer coach in his free time. ! en he’ll decide on something more long-term. A$ er all, he is only ').

I’m sure people will tell me I’m only a sopho-more. What do I know? Well, I do know one thing. I’m not sure what I want to do with the

rest of my life. I also don’t think I will know any better in two years. At '', our brains aren’t even fully developed. My mom’s friend decided to become a therapist a$ er practicing law — for )+ years.

It’s never too late to change your mind. And if at the end of the day you decide your dream is to open a co" ee shop or bakery,

there’s nothing wrong with that.

I think that law-yer I met was right. We’re too young to grow up just yet. Do what you have to do for a few years, even if that might mean liv-ing in a tiny one-room apartment and waiting tables. If your dream isn’t to be a trust o& cer or consultant, that’s OK. If you think you might change your mind, that’s OK, too. At the end of the day, success is really how you de# ne it, and “not knowing” is a perfectly acceptable answer.

My email and Facebook news feed have lately been % ooded with news and congratulations for

the Northwestern class of '*),. An article titled “Let’s Hear It For the Class of '*),”

was published on the NU website, and an article in ! e Daily described the class as “the most selective, diverse

class to date.”Not to sound like a curmud-

geon, but I remember when the class of '*)+ was the most tal-ented, sought-a$ er class in NU’s history. With each year, every

class becomes more selective, more talented and more diverse. And it makes me wonder if these classes

are more likely to succeed during their time at NU.

I had to ask myself a very broad, admit-

tedly cheesy question:

What does success mean?

To answer it, I thought of great students I have met within my past two years at NU who exemplify success.

I think the most successful students here have perspective. ! ey see beyond their classes and beyond the encapsulated world at NU. It’s easy to become stuck in a bubble, but successful students # nd ways to escape it.

! ese students see that there is more to life than an “A” in orgo or gaining access or leader-ship to an exclusive student group. ! ey push beyond the boundaries of campus and # ght for causes that inspire them. ! ey spend their week-ends doing community service in Evanston and Chicago. But most importantly, they help other students.

! e people I appreciate most at NU are those that are willing to stop whatever they are studying for to stop and talk or listen to me. ! ey may be cramming for a chemistry midterm or beginning

to pull an all-nighter for a history paper, but they realize that being there for another student is as important as their grade in a class. ! ey have a sense of sel% essness that inspires me to remember that it’s all going to be OK.

! ese kinds of exchanges are hallmarks of suc-cess and diversity. Both are dependent on inter-acting with students of di" erent races, ethnicities and socioeconomic statuses. ! e most measur-able aspect of diversity and success on campus is the scope of our friendships and opinions.

Freshmen, you will probably arrive on campus and instantly click with a student group or your dorm % oor. I hope you and these people form an instant group of friends and have a blast all quarter. Maybe you will even join a fraternity or sorority and have a whole new group of friends.

But sometimes in college, we # nd ourselves sticking to the same group of friends, not willing to put in the time or e" ort to meet new people. Campus diversity, to me, signi# es meeting new people constantly, seeking out the parts of cam-pus that you have not touched before. Although you will likely not be able to meet all ',*** mem-bers of your class, you can always put forth the e" ort to meet new people and have new experi-ences on campus.

Campus diversity to me also includes learn-ing and forming new opinions on campus. A few days ago in class, I had a lively debate during class about the relationship between the )-.( and )-,' Olympics during my Jews and Sports class. My Republican-leaning boyfriend and I some-times debate about politics — yes, cross-political relationships can and do work out! I encourage future freshman to engage in similar debates with classmates, though it should be friendly and knowledgeable.

Now, let me be clear — I might be a bit of a hypocrite in writing this column. At many points during my time at NU, I have failed to reach out to new people, adopt new opinions and gain perspective of the world around me. But though I have made mistakes, I still take inspiration from the people who are doing it right at NU. I only hope that you wonderful freshmen take some time to embody the qualities of the amazing NU students who have come before you.

NU Red Cross raises money for Sandy aidBy AMANDA GILBERT!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+) @amandadance.

NU Red Cross continued to raise money and awareness for Superstorm Sandy relief e/orts 0urs-day through a bene1t concert and silent auction.

Proceeds from the event will be donated to the American Red Cross disaster relief fund. During the event, students bid on donated items from Mayfest, Norris Bookstore, the American Red Cross and other organizations. 0e items included a 2eece blanket, photo prints, pottery pieces, Dillo Day shirts and Red Cross sweatshirts.

During the auction, students watched per-formances by groups such as Freshman Fi3een, ReFresH, TONIK Tap, Boomshaka and Mee-Ow.

Ben Kahn, co-president of NU Red Cross, said Superstorm Sandy did not receive the attention it deserves. It was the second-most costly hurricane in U.S. history and severely damaged more than 4.5,555 homes.

“Funds coming in to the Red Cross campaign have drastically fallen,” Kahn said. “Catastrophes like this deserve a lot of attention.”

He said some money raised from 0ursday night’s event will also help fund relief e/orts for destruction from this week’s devastating tornado in Oklahoma, which killed 67 people. More than 8.,555 are still without power because of the severe weather in that region.

“Tonight is a reminder to the students that relief e/orts are ongoing,” Kahn said. “Relief e/orts are ongoing and you can make a di/erence.”

0e organization also partnered with F&F Mar-keting for the Flooded House Campaign, which asked students to like the NU Red Cross Facebook page and post a photo of the belongings they would take in case of a disaster.

Kahn announced Weinberg sophomore Mohamad Akef as the campaign’s winner at the end of the bene1t concert. Akef was given a 96. American Express gi3 card. Some items in his photo included sandals, a lanyard and a shirt with the word “Egypt” written on it.

F&F Project director Marcus Lee said the group decided to partner with NU Red Cross for the cam-paign because it wanted to raise awareness of a cam-pus group’s worthwhile cause.

“We get wrapped up in midterms and other exams. We forget to be conscious about other things going on in the world around us,” said Lee, a Medill junior. “0is event shows us that Northwestern students are really trying to be active about philan-thropic things.”

He said the event was also important because it allowed various performance groups to come together for an important cause.

“A lot of really great artists came out today,” Lee said. “It’s been great, and it’s spreading aware-ness about issues college students aren’t thinking about.”

Drug czar highlights link between marijuana, crime

WASHINGTON — Marijuana is the drug most often linked to crime in the United States, the U.S. drug czar said Thursday, dismissing calls for legalization as a “bumper-sticker approach” that should be avoided.

Gil Kerlikowske, the White House director of national drug-control policy, said a study by his office showed a strong link between drug use and crime. Eighty percent of the adult males arrested for crimes in Sacramento, Calif., last year tested positive for at least one ille-gal drug. Marijuana was the most commonly

detected drug, found in .7 percent of those arrested.

The study found similar results in four other cities: New York, Denver, Atlanta and Chicago. Among the cities, it included examinations of :,;84 urine samples and :,<8= interviews with men who were arrested.

Researchers found that marijuana was the most popular drug used by men who’d been arrested in all the cities, ranging from a low of 8; percent in Atlanta to a high of .= per-cent in Chicago. Chicago also had the highest overall positive test results, with =4 percent of the men found to have at least one drug in

their bloodstreams.Cocaine ranked as the second most com-

monly found drug in all the cities, with the exception of Sacramento, where methamphet-amine was No. 6, detected among 75 percent of those arrested.

Saying that drugs are fueling much of the crime in the United States, Kerlikowske used the study to make a pitch for more treatment.

He said that while more than 45 percent of those arrested in the study had tested positive for at least one drug, ;5 percent of the arrestees had never received any drug or alcohol treat-ment. As a result, he said, U.S. drug policy

should be approached from a public health standpoint, not merely as a criminal justice issue.

“That means addressing those factors that contribute to drug offenses, factors that all too often include the disease of addiction,” Kerlikowske said in a speech at the Urban Institute, a public policy research center in Washington. “It means abandoning simplistic bumper-sticker approaches, such as boiling the issue down to a ‘war on drugs’ or outright legalization.”

Dropping bars for Dillo ETHS students visit NU for Kits n’ Cats programBy JEANNE KUANG!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+) @JeanneKuang

Evanston Township High School students spent Thursday exploring Northwestern life as part of the Kits n’ Cats program.

About .// ETHS sophomores and juniors attended the biannual event designed to intro-duce NU and other higher education oppor-tunities to potential first-generation college students and those unsure about what they want to do after high school. Kits n’ Cats, which was held for the fourth time Thursday, began in October 0/.. as part of University Presi-dent Morton Schapiro’s Good Neighbor, Great University initiative to strengthen ties between NU and ETHS and offer scholarships to local students.

ETHS is sending .. students to NU in the fall as part of the class of 0/.1.

“My goal is to raise that over 0/,” Schapiro told the Kits n’ Cats attendees before the day’s events in Norris University Center’s Wildcat Room.

Schapiro gave the students a brief intro-duction to the college admissions process and talked about financial aid at NU. Both he and District 0/0 superintendent Eric Witherspoon emphasized the benefits of a college education, citing not only NU but also other univerisites in Illinois.

“Whether we’re lucky to have you here, whether you go to Urbana or you go to UIC or you go to Loyola or whatever it is, go to col-lege,” Schapiro said. “It’s going to be a chance of a lifetime, not just financially but personally and socially.”

The ETHS students toured the campus, hear-ing NU students speak about their experiences and participating in programs in fields such as engineering, history or radio.

Recent years have seen an increase in Uni-versity efforts to reach out to ETHS students. In September 0/.0, the Northwestern/ETHS Partnership Office was established at the high

school. Kits n’ Cats itself has grown from origi-nally hosting about 2/ students.

“I think it’s bringing a huge benefit to high schools when we can have access to so many of the resources and the intellectual capital and the research that’s going on on this cam-pus,” Witherspoon told The Daily. “It defi-nitely enhances what we do at the high school level.”

He said he foresees the positive relation-ship between the two schools strengthening even more in the future and believes Kits n’ Cats serves to “enrich the experience on this campus” by highlight-ing the importance of a diverse student body.

Lucile Krasnow, NU special assistant for community relations, said Kits n’ Cats has generated excitement about NU among ETHS staff and students.

“It’s to introduce kids to college life, take it wherever they are, just be excited about what their future could be,” she said, adding she hopes to see the program become a longstand-ing tradition.

Schapiro echoed that sentiment in his speech to the students, saying he wants to see them realize their potential.

“I think everybody in this room cares about making society a better place,” he said. “And there’s no better way to do that than get a degree from as prestigious an institution as you can, to learn as much as you can and then to give back to a world that needs a lot of our help.”

BAT MITZVANERA Alianza and Northwestern Hillel teamed up Thursday to hold the inaugural Bat Mitzvanera, a combination of the coming-of-age celebrations from both Latino and Jewish traditions. The event attracted more than 60 guests to J.J. Java Cafe to dance and eat kosher Latin American foods. Barbara Leary (above), an Alianza member, was the designated Bat Mitzvanera girl. The Weinberg sophomore stood out with her flowing teal dress. The celebration began with Leary being serenaded by Mariachi Northwestern before members of both the Alianza and Hillel executive boards spoke about the significance of the bat mitzvah and quinceanera. The festivities honored major traditions from both cultures, starting with the quinceanera’s changing of the shoes to signify the transition from a girl to a young woman.

Alianza, Hillel team up for ‘Bat Mitzvanera’ Artisan bread bakery to open in city this summerBy JIA YOU!"#$% &'(#)* &+",,'* @jiayoumedill

An artisan bread bakery that started with the help of Northwestern students is coming to Evanston this summer.

-e bakery, called “Hewn,” will open June . at /01 Dempster St., co-owners Julie Matthei and Ellen King said.

-e bakery will serve handmade artisan breads that are naturally fermented using wild yeasts, in addi-tion to fresh salads, sandwiches and co2ee.

“-e reason we are calling it ‘Hewn’ is because the de3nition of that is kind of to shape something by hand,” Matthei said. “-at’s really what Ellen is doing every day with the bread.”

-e two moms, whose kids both go to Chiaravalle Montessori School, started talking about opening a bread store in the city when Matthei tasted the bread King made. A professional chef who attended the Seattle Culinary Academy, King worked in a number of Seattle restaurants before moving to Evanston.

“-e minute I tasted (King’s bread), I said, ‘-is is really really good. Have you considered bringing it to the community?’” Matthei said.

Planning for the bakery began last summer. King received some guidance from NU student group Lending for Evanston and Northwestern Develop-ment, which helped her understand the 3nancial demands of creating a business.

“-ey really forced me to sit down and think about all the di2erent aspects of starting a bakery and the

costs associated,” she said.Unlike the average baker, King makes her coun-

try loaves by fermenting the dough with wild yeasts, mixing and turning it with her hands for several hours before baking it in a special oven imported from Europe, she said. She also injects steam in the dough during the baking process, resulting in a crispy, crunchy crust.

“-is is the way breads were made basically before World War II,” King said.

Due to the lengthy fermenting process, which typi-cally takes 0/ to 41 hours, the bakery will o2er only 3ve to six kinds of regular loaves a day, in addition to baguette, 5atbread and pastries. King said she plans to source all ingredients from local farms.

“All of our ingredients are exactly how I would want to eat,” she said.

-e store is built in an unconventional way, con-structed entirely from recycled and repurposed mate-rials. -e shelving, for example, came from a fallen tree in Wilmette, Matthei said.

“Nothing here is new, but it’s very warm and invit-ing,” she said.

With fresh, organic ingredients, Matthei said she wants to attract health-conscious customers to the bakery. Although it is her 3rst time opening a retail business, Matthei said she is optimistic.

“It’s going to be a little bit of a learning experience, but I feel con3dent that with the two of us working hard together on this and getting help and advice when we need them, we should be in good shape,” she said.

LIKE A BOSS

A more diverse NUHispanic, black, Asian-American and international

students will make up almost !" percent of the class of #"$%, an unprecedented proportion.

“Twenty percent of freshmen who have deposited for next fall are African-American or Hispanic,” Mills said. “It just shatters the all-time record, which was set last year at $&.% percent.”

'e percentages have been slowly rising since #""%. Next year (.! percent of the incoming class will be black, an increase from !.& percent )ve years earlier. Hispanics will represent $$.! percent, compared with %.* percent in #""%.

Onis Cheathams, director of multicultural recruit-ment for almost a decade, said NU’s heightened out-reach e+orts and exposure have made the di+erence when it comes to diversity.

“We put in a lot of hours, a lot of time recruiting students,” Cheathams said.

'e new regional recruitment strategy made admis-sions o,cers responsible for increasing underrepre-sented students in their areas. As NU representatives forge stable connections with individual high schools, they are better able to recruit students.

'e o,ce is working to speci)cally target high schools with diverse populations. 'e University sub-scribes to databases that provide details on individual high schools, including the racial and ethnic break-down of the student bodies, Watson said.

“Five or six years ago is when we started to focus on this really intently,” Mills said. “'ings have just snowballed in a positive way since then.”

NU also draws from a database of more than -"" national and community-based organizations that work with universities to reach underrepresented students.

To put the gains in context, Mills noted only six of the -" other elite member colleges in the Consortium on Financing Higher Education had combined His-panic and black populations that were #" percent or more of their student body last year.

“We would be more diverse than Harvard, Princeton, Yale,” Mills said. “That’s quite an accomplishment.”

'e University hosts special programming for underrepresented students during Wildcat Days to persuade them to enroll at NU once they are admit-ted. Students stay with members of the multicultural community on campus.

“During my time here, they really exposed us to what you can call the minority community here,” Woods said. “Some of my best friends today I met at Wildcat Days.”

NU also increased its low-income population. Fourteen percent of the class of #"$% will be students with a federal Pell Grant, compared with ..$ percent in #""%.

'e incoming freshman class will include the )rst $" students from NU’s partnership with the Los Angeles site of the Posse Foundation, which pairs students from diverse backgrounds with elite schools. It will also boast the highest number of students from QuestBridge, a nonpro)t that matches low-income students with scholarships at top-tier colleges and universities.‘What happens inside of Northwestern?’

During the second of two annual forums with Uni-versity President Morton Schapiro last month, Medill Prof. Doug Foster asked about NU’s plans for foster-

ing a more diverse campus “a/er students get here.”

In his response, Scha-piro acknowledged numerical gains are not enough.

“We haven’t created yet the inclusive community that our faculty, sta+ and students deserve, and frankly the one that we advertise,” he said.

Some students agreed making the NU commu-nity more diverse does not necessarily make it more welcoming.

“It’s good for the Uni-versity’s image to say, ‘Well, now instead of . percent, we have $$ percent that are Latino,’” said Peralta, a

Weinberg sophomore. “But then what happens inside of Northwestern? Because the $$ percent don’t feel they are a part of Northwestern.”

Racially charged incidents, such as the alleged hanging of a black stu+ed bear from NU maintenance worker Michael Collins’ desk, perpetuate the idea students of color are not wanted, Peralta said.

SESP freshman Qiddist Hammerly visited NU dur-ing Wildcat Days last spring to meet with the multi-cultural community. Hammerly said at )rst she was nervous about coming to NU because she had heard stories about a tense racial climate.

“I was coming from a high school that was fairly similar to Northwestern,” she said. “I was just kind of tired of that and was not looking to repeat that in my college experience.”

Mills said he attends as many protests and student gatherings on diversity as he can. Aware that some students do not feel NU is a welcoming place, he said his job is to produce a “critical mass” of every kind of student.

Like Schapiro, Mills noted NU’s increasingly diverse classes are the best way to measure the Uni-versity’s progress, at least from an admissions-based standpoint.

“I do not think that when we talk about numbers it’s meant to veer attention away from the problem that exists on campus,” Mills said. “We’re just excited that there are more diverse students coming to Northwestern.”

Hayley Stevens, outgoing associate vice president for diversity and inclusion of Associated Student Gov-ernment, said the University is doing its best to build

“a truly diverse class.”Although NU has hired diversity-related admin-

istrators, recent incidents of racial bias have not been handled well, Stevens said.

“!ese things are happening here and, sure, they might be a PR nightmare, but they happened here on your university and you need to be accountable for it,” Stevens said.Going global, local

NU has stepped up recruiting in the Chicago area, with admitted students from Chicago Public Schools increasing "# percent since $%%&. Eleven students from Evanston Township High School have com-mitted to come to NU this fall, the highest number since $%%'.

Because CPS has many students from underrepre-sented groups and potentially (rst-generation college students, they add more diversity to the freshman

Watson and Mills credit Schapiro’s exhaustive travel schedule with promoting NU overseas. Schapiro appears on television and does interviews with news-papers when he travels to Singapore and China.

“He devotes most of the summer to travel every-where to meet with Northwestern alums and incom-ing freshmen,” Mills said. “$at has to be playing some role.”Choosing NU

$e University relies on teams of students to per-suade underrepresented groups to enroll once they are accepted. In addition to the e+orts of Ambas-sadors, the Council of Latino Admission Volunteers for Education helps recruit and enroll prospective Hispanic students.

Alexandria Bobbitt, a student coordinator for

Ambassadors, said she has encountered students who worry about NU being a predominantly white insti-tution and want to know if there are other minority students on campus.

“It’s important to know that you are represented here in some way before you come,” said Bobbitt, a SESP freshman.

Both CLAVE and Ambassadors host visiting stu-dents, send letters and make phone calls. Students from the multicultural community volunteer with these organizations and meet with students when they come to NU.

Weinberg freshman Joel Guajardo said NU paid for his visit for Wildcat Days last April a,er he was admitted Regular Decision. He stayed with Latino students while on campus.

Guajardo is from Brownsville, Texas, an over-whelmingly Latino city near the U.S.-Mexico border.

He said the size of NU’s Latino population was not a deciding factor in his enrollment decision, but his visit reassured him it was “not nonexistent.”

“It showed me there is a Latino community here on campus,” he said.

Woods and Hammerly said upon getting to cam-pus and seeing students’ commitment to improve inclusion, they were inspired to join the e+orts. Ham-merly is on the executive board of For Members Only. Woods is also a member of FMO and on the ASG diversity and inclusion committee.

“Seeing that all those incidents were happening,” Woods said, “I just realized that I don’t want other prospective students to have to go through that same prospective experience, with that negative light shed on Northwestern from day one.”

philanthropy. DM met with members of Team Joseph prior to the public announcement to tell them they were the "&'% bene!ciary.

“My initial reaction was shock because I understand the signi!cance of what Dance Marathon can do for an organization,” Penrod said. “We were thrilled and incredibly honored and humbled.”

Harris said although Team Joseph is based in Detroit, there is a large community in the Chicago area that will work with DM on spe-cial events throughout the year. Penrod said DM’s Heroes program will help introduce children a*liated with Team Joseph to the NU community.

DM is also working with Feinberg Prof. Nancy Kuntz, director of the muscular dys-trophy clinic at the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, to integrate the local Duchenne community into the yearlong event. Penrod said she is looking forward to starting to work with DM this summer to plan “Hero” events as well as other special events

— possibly including Joseph’s ''th birthday in September.

“I think (Joseph) is excited to be a part of it and attend whatever he’s able to,” his mother said. “Anything that involves a celebration, whether it be something surrounding his birth-day or otherwise, will be a thrill for him.”

With the philanthropy’s own %&th birthday, Harris said this year’s marathon will also encom-pass e+orts to commemorate past bene!ciaries and how they have a+ected the organizations momentum.

Penrod said she wanted people most to know that the partnership has the chance to make an impact on the current generation of Duchenne patients, which includes her son, but also to leave a legacy for future generations.

“I think Joseph has come to understand that although he has some struggles, he also has a really wonderful purpose and that is to help us leave a legacy and to make choices about how we handle situations like this,” she said. “We can’t choose that we were handed Duchenne, but we can chose how we handle it.

Cats ready to capture title in Philly

Cats reach their time to shine

Death, taxes and Northwestern lacrosse over Memorial Day weekend — the three guarantees in life.

Coach Kelly Amonte Hiller will say all the right things and be thankful for every Final Four the Wildcats appear in, but there is no chance in the fore-seeable future NU won’t be making an appearance at the premier weekend in women’s lacrosse. Amonte Hiller has continued to reload in Evanston, and no program is coming close to prevent-ing the Cats from being one of the last four standing.

! ere is greater pressure because the expectation has been set, but that seems to be more motivating than stressful for the team. Unlike every other program in Evanston, the lacrosse team is judged based on whether it wins a national title. Last season, NU didn’t win the ALC regular season or tournament, but it won the national title. Is that season a failure? In "#$#, the Cats took home both the ALC regular season titles but lost in the national championship game to Mary-land. Is that year a success?

If you injected Amonte Hiller with truth serum — which I suggest you do not attempt to do — she will tell you all that matters is hoisting that trophy the Sunday before Memorial Day. So "#$# was a failure and "#$" was a success. Of course, Amonte Hiller will tell you she’d much rather have a year like "##% when the Cats took home all three trophies, but at the heart of it is suc-cess or failure determined by who wins the game the Sunday before Memorial Day.

So now that we are entering what I have uno& cially dubbed “Kelly Amonte Hiller Weekend,” what can we expect out of the Cats? Can NU actu-ally win eight national titles in nine years? Will the hope for four national titles in my time in Evanston last for another year?

A' er shaking my magic (-ball, it told me “all signs point to yes.”

Statistically speaking, the big-gest factor in NU’s favor is its stel-lar defense. ! e Cats have given up double-digit goals only ) ve times this season, and if you take out the ""-goal aberration in Gainesville, Fla., NU gave up just more than * goals per game. On six occasions, the Cats have held oppo-nents to + goals or fewer in a game.

As for No. $ Maryland, it wins by outscoring opponents. It has allowed double-digit goals seven times this year and has held a team to + goals or fewer four times. ! e only time the Terra-pins beat the Cats this century, it was a $,-$$ shootout. ! e two meetings since that loss have been low scor-ing, which plays into the hands of the possession-minded Cats.

However, there is a reason I unof-) cially named Memorial Day weekend a' er Amonte Hiller. NU always seems to peak at just the right time for a run at the national title, and this year is no di- erent.

! e Cats are clearly playing their best lacrosse of the season in the NCAA Tournament, rolling over Stanford and Penn State on their way to the Final Four. ! e defense has been outstanding, and NU has showcased its killer instinct more than ever before.

So watch out, Philadelphia. Amonte Hiller and the Cats are coming to prove this is their weekend.

It is only fitting that Northwest-ern drew North Carolina for its semifinal matchup, the first game of the Wildcats’ ninth consecutive trip to the Final Four.

Friday afternoon’s contest in Phil-adelphia is No. " NU’s ($%-") shot at redemption against No. , North Carolina ($:-,). The Tar Heels beat the Cats $$-( in February, and NU does not take redemption lightly.

The most recent example came this season when, following its most embarrassing loss in coach Kelly Amonte Hiller’s tenure — a ""-; defeat by Florida toward end of the regular season — the Cats went on to beat the Gators (-, two weeks later in the ALC Champion-ship game.

Win or lose, Amonte Hiller said Friday is NU’s chance to demon-strate its vast improvements from the beginning of the season, when

the team was st i l l learning how to mesh together on the f ield. And despite their higher ranking, the Cats head in to Friday’s match as underdogs, thanks to their loss to the Tar Heels.

Senior midfielder Taylor Thornton

said she does not mind being under the radar.

“I think what’s so special about this program is we try to keep every-thing in a bubble,” Thornton said. “I don’t read media, hype is hype, you can say whatever you want to say, but I have a great love and tremen-dous passion for this team. I mean, who doesn’t like to be the underdog? If that’s what they want to call us, I’ll take that title with great pride.”

In a conference call Tuesday with the three other coaches of the programs in this year’s Final Four, Amonte Hiller said it is hard to compare the current team with the February squad that lost to North Carolina.

She said most of her team’s improvement came in the past few

weeks.“I think that after our late-season

loss to Florida our team just real-izes that we just need to go out there and play and put it all out there and be satisfied with the effort they put forth,” Amonte Hiller said.

The Cats have not been defeated since their April loss to Florida and have been particularly dominant in their two NCAA Tournament games so far. NU defeated Stanford by * goals and Penn State by (. The team gave particularly dominating per-formances in the circle and offensive efficiency, outpacing both teams in draw controls.

Against Stanford, seven play-ers scored goals, and nine scored against Penn State.

Junior draw specialist Alyssa Leonard and Thornton have emerged as the Cats’ main offensive threats: The two players have combined to score more than one-third of NU’s goals in the NCAA Tournament.

Junior defender Kerri Har-rington, known for shutting down the nation’s biggest scorers, also heads a typically fierce Cats defense that has allowed only $+ shots in the tournament so far.

Amonte Hiller reiterated the importance of playing as a cohesive defensive unit, which she said is the only way to beat a North Carolina offense that has four players with ,# or more goals on the season after playing two fewer games than NU has.

“I think it’s got to be systematic,” Amonte Hiller said. “They have way too many weapons to be able to focus in on one or two people. We have to make sure that they play great team defense, work together, back each other up, and that’s some-thing we’ve really been focusing in on these last few weeks.”

Both Amonte Hiller and Thorn-ton mentioned the Cats’ experience — both during the season since the loss to North Carolina and in play-ing eight previous Final Fours for seven national titles — when nam-ing NU’s biggest assets heading into championship weekend.

“This is a team that has a tremen-dous amount of experience,” Thorn-ton said. “And I think we know what to do.”

A full three rounds are in the books at the NCAA Champion-ships, and Northwestern is not doing too shabby.

The Wildcats finished their first +; holes of the *"-hole event Thurs-day, posting a third-round team total of ,##, the squad’s worst score of the week.

Nonetheless, NU barely moved down the leader board. The team was tied for $"th after the first day, slipped to $;th over the next $( holes and now stands in a tie for $+th with just one round to go.

The placement may not sound great, especially in a tournament with only "; teams, but this is the most prestigious event of the sea-son. Fourteen of the top $+ teams in the nation are in Athens, Ga., this week, and every single team com-peting is ranked in the top +#.

With that in mind, the No. "; Cats are actually slightly outper-forming their ranking. The team is ahead of four squads in the top "# and behind only three teams ranked "+th or worse.

The relatively normal position did not mean NU played the tour-nament conventionally, though. After her surprising team-leading performance at Regionals, Suchaya Tangkamolprasert has stepped up

her game again. The freshman started her tournament in Georgia with beautiful rounds of *$ and *", and although the *: on her score-card Thursday did not look as good, Tangkamolprasert still sits in a tie for ";th. That is easily good enough to be in first on the team, as the next closest to her is sophomore Hana Lee in a tie for ++th.

Daily continuity has been sorely lacking from the squad. During the first round, three team members shot *+ or below, while the other two ballooned to scores of *% and (". Elizabeth Szokol, who registered that opening (" and followed it up with a marginally better *(, inex-plicably posted a scintillating round of *# on a day when her other four

teammates averaged a score of **. The freshman bogeyed holes $,, $; and $+ to ruin a good start, but then promptly got all three of those bird-ies back on $:, $* and $( to give her that red number. It was enough to boost her into a tie for %%th.

The Cats will complete the fourth and final round of the event Friday. Although the team will likely not win the tournament — they are ;: shots behind leader USC — the final $( holes could be very important to the team. If the Cats can get four solid scores from Friday’s round, they may be able to sneak into the top half of the field or move into the top $#.
