Ceremony honors veterans’ serviceBy PAIGE LESKIN!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+) @paigeleskin
Veterans and residents braved the rain Monday morning to mark Vet-erans Day in downtown Evanston.
“We want to dedicate this day and honor our brave veterans who
served their country,” said Charles Spivey, who was a U.S. Air Force commander in the Viet-nam War.
Despite the forecast of snow, more than ./0 people gathered in Foun-tain Square wearing heavy coats and carry-ing umbrel-las. Elected officials and
veterans spoke about the impor-tance of the holiday and showing appreciation to veterans.
“The best way to give thanks to
those who served our country is to make sure we provide them and their families with the help they
deserve,” U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Evanston).

New campus parking to open in 2014By TYLER PAGER!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+) @tylerpager
Facilities Management is finish-ing up construction on two park-ing structures as part of an effort to make campus more pedestrian-friendly by removing some parking lots.
Bonnie Humphrey, Facilities Management’s director of design and construction, said parking structures are part of the Board of Trustees’ 2003 campus framework plan.
“The plan includes building struc-tured parking to allow the removal of surface parking lots from the middle of the campus in order to capture the cars at the edges of cam-pus and allow a more pedestrian-friendly circulation through the core of campus,” she said. “The first piece of that was actually the Mid-Campus Green that we did last year.”
The Mid-Campus Green, which is located south of Silverman Hall and east of Annenberg Hall, replaced two parking lots with a large lawn area.
The North Campus parking struc-ture, which will be attached to the Henry Crown Sports Pavilion and
Aquatics Center, will include .,.2/ parking spots and increase program space for SPAC’s recreational activi-ties. The parking component of the structure is slated to open for cars by the end of February.
Daniel Bulfin, director of recre-ational sports, said the additional
space will include a new 4,000-square foot weight room, three fitness studios, administra-tive offices and class-rooms for Red Cross
and CPR training.“The best thing we will have is
more square footage for weight lift-ing and strength training,” he said. “Right now we are using two for-mer squash courts for the weight room.”
Bulfin added that the new fit-ness studios will give students more choices for workout classes.
“Instead of only having one class per hour, we will be able to offer
three classes per hour,” he said. “(The new space) addresses all of our shortcomings in regard to not hav-ing properly designed facilities. We will have more appropriate spaces for people, and it will make the rec-reation experience a lot better.”
The programmatic component of the addition to SPAC will also house
academic space for the School of Communication and the McCor-mick School of Engineering. Paul Weller, Facilities Management’s director of facilities planning, said this part of the building will open in about .0 months.

COMING SOON Scaffolding currently blankets the in-progress South Campus parking garage, but University officials said cars are expected to be able to park in the garage by April. The garage will be part of the new visitor center, scheduled to open in fall 2014.
2 wounded over violent city weekendBy TANNER MAXWELL and PATRICK SVITEK$%&'( -#)&*+ -!%55#+- @_tannermaxwell and @PatrickSvitek
A man was shot and another man was stabbed during an unusually vio-lent weekend in Evanston.
6e three-day period starting Friday also saw two men rob a CTA employee at gunpoint near the Chicago-Evanston border.
6e string of incidents came a day a7er the Evanston Police Department announced major crime in the city was down more than 8 percentage points through the 9rst .0 months of this year compared with the same range in 20.2.
6e shooting happened Saturday night across the street from Evanston Township High School, according to police.
Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Par-rott said a 20-year-old man was shot four times with a small-caliber gun at about ::10 p.m. near the intersection of Church Street and Hovland Court. 6e man, who is from Evanston, was hit twice in the hand, once in the leg and once in the buttocks.
Parrott said the man was taken to Evanston Hospital and has been released.
6e man told police two men were responsible for the shooting, Parrott said. Police described the two men as / feet 4 inches tall and .;/ pounds.
A day earlier, a ;1-year-old man was stabbed during a 9ght among street art-ists near the Chicago-Evanston border, according to police.
Shortly before midnight Friday, Chi-cago and Evanston police responded to several people 9ghting in the middle of the street near an art gallery in the 400 block of Howard Street, Parrott said. O<cers broke up the 9ght, but a short time later, a Chicago Fire Department ambulance was sent to the same area for the man.
Parrott said the man was stabbed in the chest during the 9ght but did not realize he was hurt until the brawl ended.
6e man, who is from Chicago, was taken to St. Francis Hospital, where he underwent surgery, Parrott said. 6e man is in stable condition.
Parrott said police have reviewed surveillance footage of the 9ght and identi9ed a suspect. However, no one was in custody or charged Monday a7ernoon.

Businesses compete for $250K Chase grantsBy SABRINA RODRIGUEZ"#$ %&'() *+,"#-$."$,* @sabrinarod/
Sixteen Evanston businesses are in the run-ning for one of /0 grants from Chase worth 1023,333 each.
Mission Main Street, the grant program, gives the money to /0 small businesses nationwide to help expand their operations.
“This grant can help businesses reach out to a lot more customers and o4er much more working capital,” said Michael Kormanik, spokes-man for Green-wise, a sustainable landscape company participating in the competition.
In Evanston, the /5 businesses partici-pating are: Beholden Photography; Edzo’s Burger Shop, /26/ Sherman Ave.; Feast
& Imbibe, /736 Chicago Ave.; Greenwise, /578 Payne St.; Happy Husky Bakery, 053/ Prairie Ave.; Hazelbaker & Lellenber.; Hip Circle Stu-dio, 636-639 Washington St.; Lea Filipek, Inc.; MightyNest; MyChild; Now We’re Cookin’, /53/ Payne St.; Perennials, 0300 Central St.; Rex’s Place, 0/03 Ashland Ave.; Star Wireless, 573 Davis St.; Studio 9 Inc; and A Walk in the Park of the North Shore.
:e competition began with the businesses submitting an application explaining why they deserve a grant.
:e businesses now need 023 votes by Nov.
/2 to advance to the last round, in which they are judged by a panel.
Votes can be cast by going to www.mission-mainstreetgrants.com/search and selecting a business.
:e national winners will be awarded in January.
Aside from the Chase grants, each winner will receive a Google Chromebook Pixel laptop and a trip to Google’s California headquarters for a small business workshop.
“:is grant can open so many doors for us,” Kormanik said.
Greenwise is an organic lawn care company that o4ers various pro bono services to the com-munity. :e company provides Evanston parks with organic fertilizers.
“:e green movement isn’t just a fad any-more,” Kormanik said. “:e grant could give us more room to spread the word that a high quality landscape is sustainable.”
For Happy Husky Bakery, the grant could help grow the business outside of Evanston. :e bakery hopes to start packaging treats to sell at independent retailers.
“A small store can only have so many cus-tomers,” said Todd Ruppenthal, co-owner of the bakery. “Our draw up until now has been geographic and we would like to expand our brand.”
Kathy Lichtenstein, owner of Rex’s Place, a dog day care, training and boarding facility, said she could use the money to buy her own building to expand and make renovations. :ose plans would include a senior center for dogs, o4ering therapy and socializing for older canines.
“I’ve really tried to build a community at large with my business,” Lichtenstein said. “Expand-ing my business means o4ering more services for the people of Evanston.”
“This grant can help businesses reach out to a lot more customers and o!er much more working capital.Michael Kormanik,Greenwise spokesman
Pritzker-backed project plans ‘modern learning center’ near ETHS
Evanston billionaire Jennifer Pritzker is turning to west Evanston for her latest philanthropic venture.
O;cials a;liated with Tawani Enterprises, the Chicago-based investment group led by Pritzker, announced last week the !rm has bought the vacant buildings at /9//-6 Church St. and plans to build a “modern learning center that will encourage local stu-dents to explore di4erent creative outlets and activi-ties.” Project Beacon, a new company in the Pritzker orbit, will operate the community center, which will be across the street from Evanston Township High School, /533 Dodge Ave.
:e o;cials said construction is expected to start in the middle of next year a<er several months of design and program planning.
“We hope to provide an exciting structure that will enhance and stimulate development in the local community,” project manager Mark Lavender said in a news release.
Ald. Delores Holmes (2th), whose ward includes the buildings, said Monday she is waiting to hear more information about the project, though it “sounds exciting.”
“It’s going to be an educational and cultural center,” she said. “:at can only be good for our community.”
Pritzker has a history of property development in Chicago and Evanston. City Council has given her permission to create two bed-and-breakfasts near the Evanston lakefront. But Pritzker’s proposal to turn the Harley Clarke Mansion into a boutique hotel met vocal opposition from the lakefront prop-erty’s neighbors, leading the council to turn it down this summer.

Students are one step closer to receiving ./0,000 in grant funding for their sustainabil-ity projects.
Applications for the second round of grant funding for the Northwestern Sustainability Fund were submitted Monday. 1e fund will allocate money to student projects that involve energy and sustainability.
1e fund was established in spring 2034 as a cooperative e5ort between the Associated Student Government sustainability committee and the Undergraduate Budget Priorities Com-mittee. In the 6rst set of ventures supported by the NSF, six student-run projects each received nearly .30,000 in funding.
Grant committee member and Weinberg senior Mark Silberg said NSF “is a pretty sub-stantial opportunity for us to really catalyze student engagement in energy and sustain-ability on campus.”
Six projects were given grants in the 6rst set of applications, including Engineers for a Sustainable World’s Solar Tree, a tree-shaped, solar-powered charging station for laptops and cell phones. Another project is the Lonely Switch, an automated lighting technology designed to reduce energy usage. Pura Playa, the plastic waste reduction team, similarly
received a contribution.Other groups are using the grant money
to fund their events. 1e Living Green Event hosted by o5-campus eco-reps scheduled to be held 1ursday was funded, and the North-western Energy Technology Group will likewise bene6t from a grant to bring several speakers, including a Fortune /00 speaker to discuss sus-tainability on a corporate scale.
The NSF is also allocating funds to support increased programming for the Green Cup compe-tition currently in progress. 1is is the 6rst year Green Cup has been held dur-ing Fall Quarter and included students liv-ing o5 campus.
Even though the NSF was officially founded in the spring, Silberg said it took about a year for the organization to build a “very cohesive case
to the University (that) this was a sort of de6-ciency within our incentives structure of the institution.”
1e fund was instituted so students, as the primary recipients of the benefits of
sustainability projects, could contribute to campus-wide e5orts involving sustainability.
“I see the NSF as 6lling an important gap in funding for projects that deal with the many environmental awareness and sustainability initiatives that various student groups and individuals want to pursue but are unsure of where to 6nd sponsorship,” said John Secaras, a Weinberg senior on the grant committee.
Although Silberg could not disclose infor-mation about the projects that have currently applied for the second round of funding, he said it would be about two weeks until the decision is made for the next set of ventures to receive funds.
“We’re excited to continue to support stu-dent projects in energy and sustainability in all facets of the University,” Silberg said.
1e fund empowers students “by provid-ing a source of funding, guidance, hands-on experience and networking,” according to its bylaws.
Any student groups with ideas that may have missed the current deadline or the one before need not worry, Silberg said, because there will be another round of applications due at the end of Winter Quarter.
“I’m looking forward to reviewing more applications a7er today’s deadline and seeing more of the proposed initiatives come to frui-tion as the year progresses,” Secaras said.
Sustainability grants move forward Law school to o!er master’s program for STEM professionals
1e Northwestern School of Law announced Monday that it is o5ering a new Master of Sci-ence in Law (MSL) program aimed speci6cally at professionals in science, technology, engineering and math 6elds.
1e program, which can take two to eight semesters to complete, will o5er students the opportunity to concentrate in three areas: pat-ent and intellectual property, business law and entrepreneurship, or regulatory analysis and strategy.
Graduates of the program will not be licensed to practice law; instead, the program will aim to “contextualize the complex web of intellectual property, regulatory, business contracting and licensing issues that scientists, engineers, medi-cal practitioners and other STEM professionals around the world face.”
“Technical people increasingly have seats at the business table, and more and more of them are being called upon to lead — to sit at the head of the table,” Emerson Tiller, the law school’s senior associate dean of academic initiatives, said in a news release.
1e announcement comes on the heels of reports that law schools, including NU’s, are cutting their incoming class sizes to divert more resources toward a smaller number of students. Many law 6rms have reported wanting their new hires to boast improved “real-world” skills. In response, law schools such as NU’s have begun to o5er more programs such as MSL to teach their students the necessary professional skills.
“In an increasingly interconnected world, where law and regulation is profoundly impor-tant, top law schools cannot think of legal train-ing as solely for lawyers,” School of Law Dean Daniel Rodriguez said in a news release. “1is program illustrates the law school’s ambitious e5ort to address a growing industry need to build meaningful, practical bridges across the 6elds of law, business and technology.”

Kellogg reclaims No. 1 MBA program ranking
1e Kellogg School of Management returned to its place at No. 3 in the biennial Bloomberg BusinessWeek rankings of the best executive MBA programs, published last week.
Kellogg was the only school to ever claim the top spot until 2033, when it was displaced by the
University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business. 1e ranking is compiled using surveys of both students and program directors.
“Now Kellogg returns to the top, thanks to a strong showing in student satisfaction and top marks from students for its teaching and cur-riculum,” Bloomberg wrote.
Kellogg received A+ grades for its teaching quality in 6nance, international business, market-ing and strategy, as well as an A for sustainability.
It achieved just a C in entrepreneurship. Kellogg was third in the 2033 rankings behind
Booth and Columbia University, which dropped to sixth in the 2034 edition. MBA programs at Southern Methodist University, the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Califor-nia, Los Angeles rounded out the top 6ve of this year’s list.

More !nancial planning education needed at NU
Recently, I was surveying the news when I found two stories sitting side-by-side on CNN’s homepage. !e columns, about Harvard’s opera-tional de"cit and the di#culty college gradu-ates have in "nding employment, raise a lot of interesting questions. Is college still worth it? Are millennials really a “me” generation? Is Harvard overrated?
To these I say: yup, some of them, and hell yes, respectively. But I think these stories raise a bigger concern, and that is for all of our focus on STEM "elds, "nding internships and prepping for the workforce, college students have completely lost sight of some of the most basic skills that are central not to their ability to land a sexy job with a dental plan but to make the most of whatever you have.
Most speci"cally, I’m referring to general "nancial skills. It’s incredible how few young adults have any basic idea of budgeting, saving for retirement and emergencies, and living within one’s means. For some people, payday is some-thing that happens every time you ask mommy to put money in your account.
Now, that’s not to say being "nancially depen-dent on your parents is bad. I most certainly am, and I’m very grateful for their support, which allows me to go to an out-of-state university. For most students here, and at schools in general, I suspect that this is the typical experience, and it’s a good one; your parents support you, you
support your children, and so on and so forth.However, I have held multiple work-study jobs
and have worked since I was $% years old. I knew when I could a&ord to go out on a fancy date or spend a night with friends at a casino, and when to cut back. I even know what it’s like to kiss part of your paycheck goodbye to taxes (thanks, Obama!). !at my income is being supplemented heavily by my parents doesn’t change that.
I never thought I had any special grasp on "nancial responsibility. Many of my friends held jobs, made investments and took out thousands in college loans in their own names. I still don’t think I do (that would require a level of self-worth I’m not sure to have any time soon). But some data I recently found certainly made me question my peers’ abilities – and my own – all the same.
Inside Higher Ed conducted a survey of recent college graduates looking for work and hiring managers who interviewed them. Of the students, only %' percent felt completely or very prepared to create a budget or a "nancial goal. If that num-ber doesn’t seem dismal to you, consider that only () percent of hiring mangers felt that the students they interviewed were ready to use these skills.
!is begs the question: Why are universities not doing anything about this? I don’t expect college to be a place that teaches you everything you need to know about surviving the real world. !ere should be no classes explaining how to do laundry when you don’t have a full load of whites or how long certain foods last in the fridge. !ose are things people should know, or learn the hard way and move on.
Unfortunately, learning not to eat cooked rice more than a week old results in a stomach ache; learning to balance your checkbook the hard way
results in bankruptcy. !ere aren’t exactly any viable do-overs for the second scenario.
It’s easy to say that college is no place for such basic skill learning. Unfortunately, what is basic isn’t always common. Harvard is running a *(+ million de"cit while raising salaries at a time when frill expenditures on extracurriculars are at an all-time high. Sure, students like to complain about how their favorite things are chronically underfunded, but that’s exactly the problem. Immediate grati"cation and perceived advan-tages are taking precedence over sound "nancial planning, and this is happening at the most prestigious universities in the world. !is doesn’t even mention the fact that Harvard Management Company, the group that manages the school’s endowment, realized an $$.( percent return at the time the market gained roughly $, percent. If the
leading "nancial experts are struggling at their jobs, why do we expect students without that expertise to fare any better?
I don’t expect everyone to be a saving and investing wizard, and I don’t expect schools to allocate resources to make them so. But I do think that students should learn how to save for taxes, what paying a mortgage is like and what forms of "nancing are really just banks screwing you over. Schools have no responsibility to make us War-ren Bu&ett, but maybe, just maybe, they should take care that we don’t all become MC Hammer instead.

A lot of students struggle with leaving behind the lives they have always known. The effects of maladjustment I have most noticed in college are kids dropping out and depression, which can lead to thoughts of suicide. It is important to analyze the causes of maladjustment so students can be provided with helpful options and resources, and so that Northwestern’s cam-pus, as well as other campuses across the country, can be happier and healthier.
Whether a student’s school is in another state or just in the next town over, there is a lot that they leave behind, including fami-lies and childhood friends.
Despite promises to remain friends for-ever, students often get so busy with classes and clubs that they lose contact.
This is something I experienced first-hand this summer when I watched both of my best friends move away to schools that are not too far from NU.
Still, I know that their days are as hectic as mine, and it has been hard to keep in constant contact. Fortunately, I am able to see my family almost every week. I can only imagine how difficult that must be for students who move to a new state or even to a new country for school.
On top of losing old friends, it can be difficult to make new friends. Coming to a new school where everyone is a stranger can be stressful. Although it might feel awkward at first, the best way to make new friends is to put yourself out there. Join-ing clubs and sports teams is a great way to meet new people.
I joined American Sign Language Club and met a lot of really cool people, who all shared my interest in learning ASL.
Residential colleges often hold events, such as firesides, where students can get involved with the people in their buildings while becoming informed on new topics. Greek life is also a great way to meet new people and form lasting friendships.
Besides social stressors, academic chal-lenges can hinder students’ abilities to adjust to their new lives in college. Here, almost all of the students were at the top
of their respective classes in high school and were accustomed to academic success. However, college classes are a lot more challenging than many students expect; when the students don’t do as well as they had expected or wanted, they feel like they have failed or they want to give up. In high school, psychology was my favorite subject, and I was great at it, and although I still love the subject, I could definitely be doing better in my current developmental psy-chology class. I studied for about six hours over the course of a week and when I saw my midterm grade, I was upset and I knew I had to change something in order to do better.
One of the main things that students have to change once they enter college classes is the way they study. A lot of stu-dents at NU probably never had to study for tests in high school because the tests were just easier.
In college, some students continue to not study for tests, and others don’t know how to study effectively. It is really helpful to go to review sessions if your teachers holds them.
Also, teachers and teaching assistants are always willing to help, so go to their office hours with questions or concerns.
Finally, students may not have anyone to talk to about the challenges they are facing, especially if they have only known their new friends for a month.
This can cause them to feel alone and depressed. It is always a viable option to make use of Counseling and Psychological Services. It also helps to find a few minutes in your hectic day to call home and talk to your parents or friends.
As students with so many resources available on this campus, there is always a way to change a difficult situation.
NU and its students do a great job of providing helpful services and resources. With more than ',))) students enrolling at NU each year, and many more students across the country making this drastic life change, it is important make sure all these students are as happy and healthy as possible.

In the haste that envelops most of our daily routines, it is o-en di#cult to take time to establish connections or attend events like career or study abroad fairs. Many of us have a vague desire to do all the things we were urged to consider, like studying abroad and interning, but these are o-en sidelined by more pressing matters like homework and midterms.
Despite this, we should make a conscious e&ort to work toward the aforementioned goals, even if they will not be fruitful in the immediate future. What’s more, this being Northwestern, opportuni-ties are especially prone to presenting themselves at unlikely moments. Not just any opportunities either — very speci"c opportunities that some of us had been searching for previously, and would be next to impossible to stumble upon anywhere else.
A case in point was last week. On Friday, I trun-dled into my German class, ready for our discus-sion of the movie “!e Lives of Others “(a fantastic "lm that I recommend to everyone reading this).
Instead, before our lecture, two seniors showed up and told us about a program which involves an entire year of study abroad in Munich at Ludwig Maximilians Universitat.
!is was simply surreal; I was born in Munich, have traveled there on a few occasions in the past and have always known I wanted to study there during my college career and take classes at LMU
in particular. It was one of those very rare times when people provided me with information that was exceedingly relevant to my interests and plans. Usually that isn’t the case, but somehow things lined up on that particular day.
!ere was a great information session and presentation Saturday, when I had a chance to learn even more about the program and get to know these great students; it turns out one of them is also a writer at !e Daily. Surprisingly, there were very few people who showed up, despite the sign-up list being quite substantial.
!e reasons for people signing up and then not coming are myriad. Some of them undoubtedly had midterms or other serious engagements to attend, and others considered waking up at noon on a Saturday unspeakable.
Whatever the case may be, it would be an enor-mous mistake not to take advantage of the interest-ing and diverse chances that present themselves to you during your time here.
Obviously, I am not advocating joining %,))) organizations and suddenly realizing you are only human, but if there is something relevant to some of your plans, whether they be immediate or in the distant future, you would do well to take an interest
So the next time you get an email for a study abroad or career fair, don’t be so quick to cast it aside. In the long run, it might even have a more signi"cant impact on your future than that midterm.

Vote on deadline extension for apartment delayed
City Council decided Monday night to delay a vote on extending the permit process for an apartment complex in downtown Evanston.
Of the !" residents who signed up to speak about the issue at the Planning and Development
Committee meeting, all but one chose to hold their comments for the panel’s next meeting, Nov. #".
A proposal calls for a three-year extension for the complex developers to obtain a per-mit for a $"-story building at %&' Church St., which would push the deadline to the end of #&!(. Aldermen initially approved the project in #&&).
Only one resident, Arthur Altman, spoke about the issue, saying the proposed
development would drive other businesses in the area to shut down and make the character of the neighborhood less appealing to students.
“When a student comes to go to Northwest-ern, they’re not interested in living in a Manhat-tan type of town,” Altman said. “*ey want a nice college town.”
*e applicant for the permit also decided to wait until Nov. #" to speak.

Mother criticizes city police for investigation into deaths
*e mother of two Evanston brothers shot to death this summer spoke out at Monday night’s City Council meeting, criticizing police’s inves-tigation into the deaths.
Mahjabeen Hakeem, whose sons were killed in July in the tobacco shop they owned, said police have not kept her informed on the case.
“And now I don’t know to whom we trust,” she said. “How can we get help from the police when they don’t serve the community?”
*e Evanston Police Department has defended the lack of public information surrounding the
investigation, saying it could jeopardize any potential charges. A+er Hakeem’s remarks Mon-day night, Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said detectives met with her family as recently as last week.
*e two brothers were found dead in the base-ment of Evanston Pipe & Tobacco, )#$ Davis St., with multiple gunshot wounds the evening of July $&. In October, the Cook County medi-cal examiner’s o,ce ruled the brothers’ deaths homicides.
*e shop has since been put up for sale.Two other residents, Carolyn Murray and the
grandmother of slain Evanston #&-year-old Blake Ross, also criticized EPD’s handling of two other homicide cases.

Harley Clarke Mansion proposal to receive closer look
Evanston aldermen Monday night approved further review of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources’ plan for the Harley Clarke Mansion.
Under the agreement, city manager Wally Bobkiewicz will look more closely at the department’s proposal to bring its Coastal Management program to the lakefront building, #(&$ Sheridan Road. The Evanston Art Center, which rents the mansion from the city for -! a year, has said it wants to stay at the property.
However, Ald. Jane Grover (%th) sug-gested otherwise during a meeting with her constituents Thursday night. She said the art center is reconsidering whether it would like to remain in the mansion due to the “extraordinary cost for renovation.” The property requires at least hundreds of thousands of dollars in repairs, accord-ing to city officials.
On Nov. ., the city’s Human Services Committee gave its permission to Bob-kiewicz to talk more with department officials, who he described as “anxious and excited” after their first visit to the building.
City Council unanimously approved the plan Monday night with no discussion.
The issue is expected to come up again at the committee’s next meeting, Dec. #.

City Council RoundupPresident, VA secretary tout veterans’ sacrifices and pledge support
ARLINGTON, Va. — President Barack Obama told America’s veterans Monday that the country is indebted to them and he pledged to support them “now, tomorrow and forever.”
Speaking at a Veterans Day event at Arlington National Cemetery’s amphitheater, Obama and his secretary of veterans a/airs asserted the need to continue providing for America’s veterans.
*ousands of people lined up at the cemetery on a sunny autumn morning to attend a wreath-laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and speeches at the amphitheater by Obama and Sec-retary of Veterans A/airs Eric Shinseki.
“*ey put on the uniform and they put their lives on the line,” Obama said. “*ey do this so that the rest of us might live in a country and a world that is safer, freer and more just.”
Americans gathered to attend ceremonies across the country. Originally named Armistice Day by President Woodrow Wilson in !)!) _ because of the World War I cease-0re between the Allied nations and Germany at the !!th hour of the !!th day of the !!th month _ Veterans Day is set aside to thank those who’ve put their lives on the line.
Parades took place from coast to coast, includ-ing in New York and San Diego. Colorado State University held a "-kilometer run, and the Cal Veterans Group assembled volunteers to build a home for a veteran in California.
A+er a White House breakfast in honor of vet-erans, Obama placed the wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and addressed an audience of some .,&&& about the responsibility the country has to those who sacri0ced their lives for it.
*e president pledged to pay attention to the debts owed to veterans. “Even as we make di,cult 0scal choices as a nation,” he said, “we’re going to keep making vital investments in our veterans.”
By this winter, only about $.,&&& U.S. troops will remain in Afghanistan, Obama said. Next year, the transition to Afghan-led security should be complete, he added.
Shinseki noted that the budget for the Depart-ment of Veterans A/airs has increased by more than "& percent, # million veterans have been added to the VA’s health care system, and there have been reductions in veteran homelessness.

ISEN rebrands with new director, expanded researchBy AMY WHYTE!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+) @amykwhyte
The Initiative for Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern has now become an institute, complete with a new executive director and plans for expanded research and facilities.
ISEN, now the Institute for Sustainability and Energy, was launched in .//0 by former University President Henry Bienen as a five-year initiative.
Now that those five years have passed, the program has been revamped to include a larger focus on energy research.
“We wanted to really up our game a lot,” said chemistry Prof. Mark Ratner, a co-director of ISEN.
Ratner said ISEN initially consisted of three components: education, outreach and research. But for the last five years, the research com-ponent has been limited to beginning studies and pilot projects.
Now, ISEN will support much larger proj-ects, with new research facilities currently under construction at the Technological Insti-tute that will host NU and visiting scholars.
“ISEN has grown into a much larger and, I think, much more effective operation that will really address some of the crucial research
topics out there in the whole energy and sus-tainability landscape,” Ratner said.
ISEN also adopted c h e m i s t r y P r o f . Michael Wasielewski as its new executive director this year.
Wasielewski, who also serves as the director of Argonne-Northwestern Solar Energy Research Cen-ter and the Solar Fuels Institute, will bring his expertise in solar energy to the program, Ratner said.
“Given that Michael was one of the leading
researchers at Northwestern in the area of energy research, it was a natural fit,” said earth and planetary sciences Prof. Brad Sageman, a fellow co-director.
Ratner said the new research facilities are expected to open in ./12. Once completed, the space will function as a laboratory for NU researchers of all academic disciplines and visiting scholars to collaboratively work on energy and sustainability research initiatives.
“Research is sort of the beating heart of the institution, so it makes sense to strengthen the research core of ISEN,” Sageman said. “But that doesn’t mean that it won’t continue to do the other things that it does, which are education and outreach.”
The education sector of ISEN includes both graduate and undergraduate classes ranging from introductory courses to collaborative courses with Kellogg.
Sageman said it is important to promote education and research about sustainability issues because of the potential impact energy use can have on climate change.
“I got to believe that the future has possibil-ity,” he said. “If my children and grandchildren are going to enjoy the same kind of wonder-ful world that I’ve grown up in with all of its opportunities and all of its beauty, we’re going to have to solve this problem.”

Foreign students continue to flock to U.S. colleges
3e number of international students studying at U.S. colleges and universities rose to a record high last year, according to a new study.
3e private University of Southern California was their most popular destination, with 4,02/ interna-tional students, according to the survey conducted by the New York nonpro5t Institute of Interna-tional Education, in partnership with the U.S. State Department.
USC has had the largest number of foreign stu-dents for a dozen years in a row.
Overall, the number of international students in U.S. institutions increased by about 6 percent last year, to nearly 0./,///. 3e largest group came from China, which sent about .78,/// students, nearly double the number of students from India, the second-largest group.
Several countries — including Iran, Brazil and Kuwait — increased their number of students in the U.S. by at least ./ percent, but “most of the growth was fueled by the undergraduate Chinese students,” said Rajika Bhandari, deputy vice president for research and evaluation at the Institute of Interna-tional Education.
A9er two USC Chinese graduate students were
shot to death in April ./1., it was unclear whether the violence would lead to a drop in Chinese enrollment. But that group grew by about 0// students, according to USC statistics. 3e survey found there were nearly 7,0// Chinese students at USC last fall.
3e other countries with the largest groups of students at USC are South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Canada.
California attracted the largest number of foreign students nationwide, with about 111,///, followed by New York and Texas, which had 00,/// and 87,/// international students, respectively.
3e University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign had the second-most international students with 4,0//. Purdue University’s main campus had 4,:// foreign students, placing it third, while New York and Colum-bia universities ranked fourth and 59h in the survey, respectively.

Universities, NSA partnering on cybersecurity programs
WASHINGTON — Universities across the country are racing to prepare the next generation of cybersecurity experts before a major cyberat-tack leaves the country’s networks struggling to
reboot.Nearly .// schools have partnered with the
National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security to meet the growing need.
3e NSA, headquartered in Fort Meade, Md., and the homeland security department have part-nered with 101 schools to come up with new pro-grams in hopes of drawing more students to the booming 5eld while securing the nation’s informa-tion infrastructure.
For a school to be considered a National Cen-ter of Academic Excellence in Information Assur-ance or Cyber Defense it must adhere to the cri-teria outlined by the NSA and DHS. Certi5cation ensures students leaving school with a background in cybersecurity have the necessary skills to help secure major networks for the government or pri-vate sector.
3e requirements are broken down into 1/ sec-tions to evaluate the school’s cybersecurity program in areas including academic content, the number of faculty who actively teach courses in cybersecurity, and student involvement in cyber-research.
Schools must o;er classes in C programming language, networking, discrete math and cyberde-fense, among other topics, in order to meet the NSA’s academic content requirements.
In addition to government agencies, private companies have also partnered with computer sci-ence programs across the country in an attempt to educate students on how to e;ectively fortify and locate security breaches in computer networks.
With the help of <1.1 million from Falls Church, Va., based Northrop Grumman, a defense and information technology company, the University of Maryland created a new cybersecurity program emphasizing multidisciplinary solutions called Advanced Cybersecurity Experience for Stu-dents. 3e program contrasts with more technical approaches to cybersecurity problems preferred by other programs.
To combat the problem, Cukier said the new ACES program aims to focus on multidisciplinary approaches to cybersecurity. 3e program brought together :6 freshmen — from the computer science, engineering, and business majors — to analyze problems and discuss solutions in cybersecurity.
“3ings will change, it’s a 5eld where you need to learn all the time,” Cukier said. “We want to teach students that they need to keep their eyes open to get the most global picture to solve the problem.”

“For our school, there will be space for speech and language and audiology clinics,” said Rick Morris, Communication associate dean of finance and administration. “Our clinics are now about !" years old and so this will provide state-of-the-art clinic space and when our clinics move out of their current space in the Frances Searle building, it will free up space for research.

“(All the veterans) here think they were just doing their jobs,” Lisinski said. “All service is valuable to the defense of the nation.”
Children from an Evanston Girl Scouts troop and the Fleetwood-Jourdain Community Cen-ter also attended the event. Rickover Naval Academy High School students presented the American flag and a gun salute.
In an old tradition, everybody faced east during the moment of silence. Veterans saluted, many donning baseball hats and garrison caps that displayed their awards and wars in which they fought. Four wreaths were placed by the
base of the American flag at the conclusion of the ceremony.
One of the oldest veterans present was /(-year-old Lloyd Idelman. Drafted out of high school, he served as a member of the Vienna military police during World War II. He has attended the Evanston ceremony with his two daughters since they were children. One of them, Marilyn, includes her twin children in the tradition and has been bringing them since they were % years old.
“I want them to be aware of the sacrifice that veterans made for their country, especially their grandfather,” Marilyn Idelman Soglin said.
Northwestern held its own Veterans Day cer-emony Nov. (, hosted by NU’s Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps program. NROTC members laid a wreath on a memorial rock near University Library, where it will stay for a week.

NU researchers take step toward nontoxic lupus therapy
Northwestern researchers may have taken a step toward ,nding a vaccine-like therapy for lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease a0ecting ,ve million people around the world.
'irty lupus patients were given a nontoxic therapy which uses special small bits of protein, called peptides.
Researchers found that the levels of lupus in those studied fell to near normal levels. 'e study was published in the journal Clinical Immunology.
“We found that the peptides could not only
generate regulatory T cells, but also that they block and reduce autoantibody production to almost baseline levels in the blood cultures from people with active Lupus,” said Dr. Syamal Datta, a Feinberg professor and senior author of the study, in a news release.
“'is approach shows that the peptides have the potential to work like a vaccine in the human body, to boost the regulatory immune system of those with Lupus, ,ght autoimmune antibodies and keep the disease in remission.”
Like chemotherapy, current lupus treatments are toxic, a0ecting fertility and the immune sys-tem. NU holds the intellectual rights to the pep-tides but is publishing the sequences in hopes that a vaccine for lupus is on the horizon.

ON DECK ON THE RECORDMen’s SoccerNU vs. Wisconsin, 6 p.m. Wednesday
Mission accomplished. — Football coach Pat Fitzgerald, on NU’s bye week
NOv. 13
By JOHN PASCHALL and ALEX PUTTERMAN!"#$% &'(#)* &+",,'*& @John_Paschall @AlexPutt-.
Senior running back Venric Mark’s injury saga finally concluded Monday.
Coach Pat Fitzgerald announced at his weekly news conference that the star tailback would not “be returning to participation this season,” due to an ankle fracture he suffered early during the Oct. /. Wisconsin game.
“We’re disappointed for him, first and foremost,” Fitzgerald said. “It’s not that the injury has gotten worse. It just hasn’t gotten any better.”
Earlier in the season, Fitzgerald said Mark would be eligible to apply at the end of the year for a medi-cal hardship waiver. If the NCAA approves Mark’s request, he could choose to play another season in Evanston.
Mark led the Cats in rushing last year with /,011 yards and was named an All-American as a punt returner by the Football Writers Association of America.
The senior entered this season bothered by a lower-body injury that limited him in the season opener against California and kept him off the field in NU’s next three games. Mark returned against Ohio State on Oct. 2 and totaled more than /-- yards of total offense but left the fol-lowing week’s game in Madison dur-ing the first quarter. He has hasn’t
returned to the field since.NCAA rules state that to qualify
for a hardship waiver, a player must suffer an “incapacitating injury or illness” before the second half of the season, having participated in no more than three of his team’s con-tests. Mark qualifies under all crite-ria and is therefore likely to have his waiver granted.
Fitzgerald said the running back has maintained an impressive atti-tude throughout the ordeal.
“He worked diligently to have a great year, and things have hap-pened to him that have been out of his control,” Fitzgerald said. “What’s been in his control has b e e n h i s attitude, and he’s been amazing.
He’s been terrific on game day. He’s been terrific every day at practice that he’s out there encouraging guys an d coaching them up.”
More injury notes from Monday’s news conference:
Mark was far from the only NU player with injury issues. Last week, Fitzgerald named more than a dozen players who would be limited or
unable to play if the Cats had a game scheduled last Saturday. After the bye week, the coach provided updates on his battered personnel.
NU’s situation at tailback con-tinues to be a circus, as Fitzgerald reported running back Stephen Buckley is also out for the season. The redshirt freshman was carted off the field in the first half against Nebraska on Nov. . with an apparent left knee injury. Fitzgerald said Buck-ley had successful surgery Thursday and will be out “approximately nine months.”
Defensive end Dean Lowry was not listed on the team’s official depth chart, and Fitzgerald categorized the sophomore as “day-to-day.”
Otherwise, the injury news was strictly positive. Junior wide receiver Tony Jones and senior defensive end Tyler Scott will likely practice Wednesday, Fitzgerald said.
Everyone else who had been previ-ously banged up — including defen-sive starters sophomore cornerback Nick VanHoose and junior linebacker Collin Ellis — were what Fitzgerald called “full-gos” at Monday morn-ing’s walk-through.
Mark and Buckley’s serious inju-ries aside, the week off immensely helped NU’s depth chart. In terms of using the bye week to get the play-ers healthy, Fitzgerald said “mission accomplished.”

Northwestern topped the score-boards against Wyoming and Illinois-Chicago, sweeping its dual meet Sat-urday. 5e team defeated Wyoming /26-/7/ and UIC ./--81.
However, computer glitches with the scoreboard meant the results had to be tallied by hand.
In fact, NU swimmers didn’t know the 9nal score until they were riding home on the bus, freshman Annika Winsnes said.
“At 9rst they told me we had lost,” the freestyler said.
Freshman Ellen Stello said it was a complete relief to hear otherwise. She remarked that the team members
really came together in the last cou-ple of events, g iv ing i t everything they had.
“It was a pride thing,” Stello added. “We wanted to win.”
Coach Jimmy Tier-ney said he was proud the Wildcats turned the meet around
to beat the Cowgirls, even with the technological di:culties.
“We really ended up having some good times a;er we realized we were in a pretty good 9ght with Wyoming,” he said.
In the last event, senior Becca Soderholm and Stello put the 9nish-ing touches on the successful meet, placing 9rst and second in the 7-- IM, respectively.
Yet, NU did not take down its com-petitive conference opponents Purdue
and Ohio State on Friday.Tierney still said the team put up
a good 9ght against the high-ranking Big Ten teams.
“5is was one of those meets where the score wasn’t an indicator of how we swam,” he said.
5e most important thing for the Cats is to learn from the experience of swimming against opponents like the Boilermakers and the Buckeyes, Tierney said.
Stello expressed the same senti-ment. She said especially when it faces tough conference teams, “the team can see where its weaknesses are.”
Freshmen Lacey Locke and Lauren Abruzzo proved a team loss does not always indicate individual swimmers performed poorly.
In fact, the two swimmers both posted season-best times in the .---
yard backstroke and /,----yard free-style, respectively.
Winsnes, who swims sprint free-style, said Purdue and Ohio State “were simply on a higher level than other teams NU has swam against so far.”
She said the win over the Cowgirls and the Flames was a sign the Cats know how to put their heads down and keep going.
Stello said the feeling on the bus ride home was optimistic a;er Sat-urday’s meet, and that is what was important.
“It got us really pumped for Wis-consin,” she added.
5e Cats will face the Badgers Friday at the Henry Crown Sports Pavilion.

It was a tale of two meets for North-western this weekend.
Friday saw a disappointing Wildcats squad put up a dud of a performance against Purdue and Ohio State, losing to both teams .0/-16. Saturday displayed the resilient attitude the Cats hope to carry with them the entire year, as they took down Wyoming /1/-/0< and Illinois-Chicago ..6-1<.
5ough some Cats cut seconds o= their season best times, coach Jarod Schroeder said his team did not respond to the competition like he had hoped.
“Our guys folded like a deck of cards,” he said. “I’ve talked to them about step-ping up in pressure situations, and they didn’t do it.”
Sophomore Jordan Wilimovsky 9n-ished second in the /,----yard freestyle and third in the 2---yard freestyle on Friday. Wilimovsky said it’s noticeable when a few guys don’t perform well.
Senior Chase Stephens said there was de9nitely some shock a;er the 9rst couple of races, but he has a lot of con9-dence that as the Wildcats improve, they can keep up with talented teams like the Boilermakers and Buckeyes.
“We shouldn’t be able to swim fast against only nonconference people,” he said. “We have to learn how to swim against those guys coming into the Big Ten Championships.”
NU had less than .7 hours to move on from the crushing loss and face an underrated Wyoming team and UIC in Chicago on Saturday.
A;er winning the 9rst two events, Stephens and the Cats failed to 9nish in the top three in the .---freestyle, an event that Stephens normally excels in.
But NU was able to show the men-tal toughness that appeared earlier in the season. 5e next race, the /---yard
backstroke, saw junior Mark Ferguson, freshman Andrew Jovanovic and senior Dominik Cubelic take the top three spots to right the ship for the Cats.
5e race of the meet came later in the 2---yard freestyle. Wyoming’s Ethan Gri=el started o= the long distance event with a blistering pace. Wilimovsky and freshman Charlie Cole were able to keep pace but couldn’t snatch the lead. When Gri=el began to fade in the last /-- yards of the event, Cole rallied to take the lead and never gave it back, earning his 9rst college win. Wilimovsky turned on the jets in the last 2- and surpassed Gri=el for second place, sending the Cats’ side-lines into a loud roar.
Wilimovsky said a;er the meet it’s been great having Cole training and rac-ing alongside him this year.
“At any other dual meet, if they don’t have a guy faster than 7:0- then there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be 9rst and second every meet in that race (2---yard freestyle),” he said.
Schroeder said he believes he’s found “a diamond in the rough” with Cole and has been extremely impressed with the freshman’s performance so far.
“Every time he’s swum this year, he’s gone a season-best time,” he said. “It doesn’t matter what event it is. 5at’s really exciting. I’ve seen this kid do some things in practice. He’s going to be really, really good. I don’t think he knows how good he can be yet.”
With the Cats staring down another Big Ten opponent next week in Wiscon-sin, Schroeder said the team must focus on Saturday’s win.
“Our guys have to believe they can win,” he said. “It all depends on which team shows up. Is the team from Friday going to show up, or will it be the team from Saturday? My hope is the team from Saturday, the one with 9re and heart and the one that wants to prove something.”
