Ariel Malloy went down to the Norris University Center food court just before - p.m. at the beginning of Fall Quarter, only to .nd most stations closing.

“I walked up at /:01 to get something,” the Weinberg and Communication junior said. “Everything was shut down and I was like, ‘What are you doing?’”

Varsity Grill and the alternating Wild-cat Wok and Pasta Bowl station in Wil-lie’s Food Court are no longer open for dinner, closing at - p.m. instead of 2 p.m. most days.

Malloy is a vegan, so her eating choices are already limited. 3e loss of dinner hours in some food court stations, and the closing of three restaurants replaced by Frontera Fresco in November /45/, has restricted her eating at Norris.

“3is quarter is by far the greatest fre-quency that I have eaten o6 campus,” she said. “I don’t have options.”

But students are not alone in dislik-ing nuCuisine’s recent overhaul of hours and o6erings, which University o7cials say is meant to improve campus dining while minimizing labor costs. Workers at multiple campus dining locations com-plain of hour cuts and little warning about schedule changes. Some have been le8 scrambling for extra shi8s to get enough

hours each week.“3ey really don’t consult with us when

it comes down to the business,” said Andre Banks, a union representative for Unite Here Local 5, the union for NU’s employ-ees from Sodexo, the company that runs nuCuisine. “Within our contract, we don’t

Woman jumps o! downtown parking garage

A //-year-old woman jumped o6 a parking garage in downtown Evan-ston on Friday morning, according to authorities.

Shortly before 54:90 a.m., the woman jumped o6 the parking garage at 5144 Maple Ave., said Dwight Hohl, division chief of the Evanston .re department.

She is being treated at Evanston Hospital, Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said. He did not respond to a request for further information.

Ten days ago, a former Northwest-ern student jumped to his death from another downtown parking garage. University spokesman Al Cubbage said the woman has “no connection” to NU.

Tree lighting kicks off holiday seasonBy BAILEY WILLIAMS+:' !"#$% ()*+:;'&+'*( @news_BaileyW

Hundreds of people gathered Fri-day night at Fountain Square with Evanston Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl and Santa Claus to light the city’s Christmas tree.

“3is is a very special occasion because it’s Evanston’s 504th birth-day as well as the holidays,” Tisdahl said before the tree lighting. “We have something incredibly special planned for you.”

The tree lighting was part of Holiday Bash, a .ve-hour event that o6ered activities ranging from listen-ing to choir performances to visiting with Santa. Held near the intersection of Davis Street, Sherman Avenue and Orrington Avenue, the tree lighting commenced a8er Tisdahl, Santa and Mrs. Claus arrived on a .retruck, drawing crowds of people.

Carolyn Dellutri, executive direc-tor of Downtown Evanston, said more people attended this year than last year.

“It was bigger and better than planned,” Dellutri said. “I could not say enough thank yous, though, without the help of the city of Evan-ston because they helped us in so many ways from the stage to the

lighting to the tree, just everything. It’s phenomenal.”

Holiday Bash was also made pos-sible by Northwestern and Evanston student groups. Dance Marathon made a guest appearance, performing a routine to “Turn Up the Music” by Chris Brown. NU a cappella groups such as Brown Sugar and Purple Haze also sang for attendees throughout downtown. Dellutri said Associated Student Government also played a part in putting the event together.

3e Evanston Teen Choir and the Second Baptist Church Choir per-formed for attendees before the tree lighting. Tisdahl led the countdown to the lighting as attendees cheered.

Glowing with colorful lights, the tree stood about as tall as the <ag pole bearing Evanston and American <ags adjacent to it. Dellutri said the mayor

Alarm System for “superior planning and pre-paredness by a local law enforcement agency,” according to a Northwestern new release.

ILEAS, a statewide consortium of nearly !,""" local agencies and police depart-ments created in the wake of the Sept. !!, #""!, terrorist attacks, presented a plaque to UP on Wednesday at the department’s new

headquarters.The award was accepted by Eugene Sun-

shine, senior vice president for business and finance; Bruce Lewis, associate vice presi-dent of public safety and chief of UP; Ingrid Stafford, associate vice president of finance operations and treasure; and Shaun Johnson, emergency services police commander.

According to the news release, ILEAS’ mutual aid system aims to provide immediate law enforcement resources, manpower and equipment at the scene of a local emergency, such as a weather disaster, a terrorist attack or an explosion.

Fitness event brings kids to campus for workoutsBy TYLER PAGER$%& '()*+ ,-.$%/&0$&., @tylerpager

Following the success of last year’s event, North-western’s chapter of Supplies for Dreams held its second annual Wildcat Workout on Saturday.

Almost 1" eighth graders from Jahn World Language School in Chicago spent the a2ernoon visiting NU’s campus and participating in 3tness workshops hosted by di4erent student groups.

“5is is a great way to tie in 3tness with expo-sure to a college campus for many of these kids who have never seen a college campus before,” said 5erese Kaltenecker, president of NU’s chapter of SFD and a McCormick junior.

During the event, students rotated through four di4erent #"-minute stations held at the Henry Crown Sports Pavilion and Norris Aquat-ics Center and Norris University Center. Students participated in activities ranging from boxing with the Boxing Club to dancing with Bhangra. Additionally, students were given a 6"-minute campus tour.

Erica Rodriguez, captain of the Boxing Club, ran the students through a “miniature workout” of what the team actually does, which included a warm-up and technique work.

“It’s been a really interactive activity for the kids, and I think it’s de3nitely sparked some inter-est in some of them,” the SESP senior said. “I think it gets at what they’re trying to do here: get kids excited about 3tness and health.”

Last year, SFD received a grant from the Big Ten Network to put on the event and nearly 7"

kids attended. However, as the group recently established a partnership with the Jahn school, the turnout was not as strong this year. Despite fewer participants, Alex Pero4, a black belt in the Tae Kwon Do Club and a chemistry graduate student, said the event was a success.

“I think the students are enjoying it,” he said. “5ey seem to be liking it. 5ey are learning a little bit. In my opinion, if the kids are doing well and they’re happy, that’s just a plus in my book.”

Dancers think big for DM fundraising

By SCOTT BROWN!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+) @ScottBrown./.

The Dance Marathon fundraising season has begun at Northwestern, and dancers have already been doing their best to 0ll cans with spare change.

Some students and groups, however,decided to stray from that well-worn path and have come up with unique ideas to raise funds for this year’s charity, Team Joseph, which supports research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Here are a few ways DM teams are thinking outside the can to raise the necessary money by the start of DM, scheduled for March 1-2.

Bringing munchies to you

Weinberg freshman Jacob Rosenblum has been taking advantage of NU students’ late-night cravings with his delivery service, Hungry, Lazy & Craving Fran’s. Taking orders through text, Rosenblum will bring orders anywhere on South campus, with a 34 surcharge to bene0t the Willard Residential College DM team. He said since he began about a week ago, he has made about 356

over four nights.“I walk there, so when I get there I’m wind-

bitten and sweaty,” Rosenblum said. “Usually people feel bad and donate more or tell me to keep the change.”

Rosenblum credits Weinberg sophomore Sam Madvig with the idea, but he has had extensive fundraising experience himself. In high school, he started his own dance marathon, which drew 566 dancers to bene0t the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

“I love when hundreds of people come together to achieve one cause,” he said.

Rosenblum is also on the DM dancer relations committee and is the DM liaison to Willard.

Hungry, Lazy & Craving Fran’s delivers Sunday through 7ursday from 2 p.m. to midnight.

Skills for sale

People are tapping into their talents to fundraise for Northwestern University Marching Band’s DM team. Each year, the NUMB team sets up an auc-tion for its dancers to sell things like hand-knit scarves and blankets, home-cooked meals and even music lessons.

“It’s been successful in the past because people may make pillows or whatever and want to sell them, but they have no one to sell them to,” said Cameron Ulmer, a NUMB team captain. “7is makes it really easy for them.”

7e auction, which will be held during Winter Quarter, is open to everyone but mostly broadcast to members of NUMB, the Weinberg junior said.

Funds from items sold go directly to the individual DM accounts of the seller.

Party cab

NU students have long frequented the Mark II in Chicago’s Rogers Park neighborhood, fondly termed “the Deuce.” SESP sophomore Rachel Adler and Weinberg sophomore Ste8 Brock-Wilson noticed the local landmark’s popularity when they started giving rides to friends and began requesting small donations to take them there. Deuce Taxi was born.

“People are excited that if they’re gonna spend money on a cab, they can now donate to DM too,” Adler said. “Plus, it’s also about the experience.”

“7e experience” includes a guest book for rid-ers to sign in, music and trivia during the ride. 7e suggested donation amount is 39 to 3/, all of which goes toward the Project Wildcat DM team. Adler and Brock-Wilson both were counselors for PWild before the 964:-4/ academic year and want to continue their involvement through DM.

“7is is PWild’s 0rst year having a team,” Brock-Wilson said. “A lot of the motivation behind it is that we think PWild has a lot of potential to raise money.”

Deuce Taxi has raised almost 3966 in two weeks, Adler said, with an ultimate goal of 3566.

Deuce Taxi takes appointments by phone and runs 7ursday nights and Friday mornings from 46::6 p.m. to 9::6 a.m.

Evanston-based PAC reaches halfway point in term limits push

An Evanston group in favor of term limits for Illinois lawmakers announced Thursday it has gathered more than half the signatures it needs to put the issue on the ballot next year.

Headed by Republican gubernatorial can-didate Bruce Rauner, the Committee for Leg-islative Reform and Term Limits said it has recruited more than 4.6,666 supporters of a state constitutional amendment that would cap Illinois legislators’ tenures at eight years. The committee has until May . to submit :66,666 signatures, guaranteeing a ballot question six months later.

“Illinoisans are hun-gry for term limits, and our effort is gaining serious momentum,” Rauner said in a news release. “This amend-ment will help put the people back in charge of state government, and folks are enthusiastically signing on.”

The political action committee has also pro-posed increasing the number of state House members from 445 to 49:, reducing the num-ber of state senators from .2 to /4 and making it more difficult for the General Assembly to override a gubernatorial veto.

Voters generally favor term limits. In Janu-ary, a Gallup poll found 1. percent approval for them in Congress. Seventy-six percent of Illinois voters supported term limits for state lawmakers and other elected officials in a 9662 poll by the Chicago Tribune and WGN.

Rauner, a wealthy businessman, has made legislative reform a centerpiece of his cam-paign, touting it in TV ads and forming the PAC, which could boost his coffers as he runs for governor. Evanston resident Harlan Teller, a longtime public relations expert, serves as the committee’s treasurer, according to Illinois State Board of Elections records.

4th San Jose State student suspended in hate crime case

LOS ANGELES — A fourth San Jose State University student has been suspended in con-nection with an incident in which three oth-ers have been charged with a hate crime for allegedly bullying a black roommate, locking a bicycle chain around his neck and using racial slurs to demean him.

7e 45-year-old male student from Los Angeles has not been identi0ed because at the

time of the alleged incidents he was a minor, according to university spokesman Pat Harris. 7e student is also expected to be charged in the case.

7e other students — identi0ed as Logan Beaschler, 45, of Bakers0eld, Calif., Joseph Bom-gardner, 42, of Clovis, Calif., and Colin Warren, 45, of Woodacre, Calif. — are also accused of locking their roommate in his room, writing a derogatory slur on the living room board and hanging a Confederate ;ag and pictures

of Adolf Hitler in their shared dormitory suite between August and mid-October, the San Jose Mercury News reported.

7e black student has only been identi0ed as 45 years old at the behest of his parents, who said in a statement this week that they were “deeply disturbed by the horri0c behaviors that have taken place against our son. Our immedi-ate focus is his protection.”

During my ! rst week at Northwestern, my peer adviser tried to explain to a group of con-fused new Wildcats how the meal plans work at Northwestern: when and where to spend our board meals, our equivalency meals, our points and so on. During my ! rst quarter, I have mas-tered NU’s meal plans. Everyone knows any college student’s ! rst concern is free (or already paid for) food. However, I’ve noticed many stu-dents pass up some of the food o" ered by their meal plans. By planning and spending at the right times, NU students can get the most out of their meal plans.

Most students spend their equivalency meals, but not all of these meals are created equal. Because equivalency meals are worth the most at dinner time, it is best to try and use your meals between #:$% and &:$% p.m. Because most stu-dents have access to a fridge in their dorms, there is no reason not to spend your equivalency meals at dinner and, if need be, refrigerate any items you buy. Additionally, because a meal must be used all at once, it is best to get as close to the '( as possible. Personally, I add a (( cent cheese stick or two to my purchases to help reach the '( mark. Done correctly, a student with a plan that comes with three equivalency meals per week can get ')& worth of C-store food a week.

But, as you rush to make the most of your two or three equivalency meals, don’t forget your dining hall meals. I space my two meals a day out across the week. But if you know you are eating

out Saturday night, you should be sure to use up that meal if desired. Even if you don’t want a full meal, most dining halls let you take out one fruit with each meal. For someone on the Weekly *# meal plan who eats a piece of fruit with every meal and takes one to go, that’s )+ bananas a week. Who doesn’t want a banana to eat on their walk to Tech each morning?

, en there are the guest passes that come with the Weekly *# plan. If you have guests that come to visit, that is any easy way to use these meals. But, if you ! nish your *# board meals in a week, you can actually use these guest passes on yourself. , is is any easy ! x if you run out of meals one week or just want a couple extra pieces of fruit.

Finally, as the quarter comes to an end, there’s the issue of points. , e Weekly *# plan comes with $# each quarter, while the Unlimited plan comes with -%. Be sure to space your points out throughout the quarter in order to avoid having them all le. at the end of the quarter.

Now, if you do have to use up your meals as the quarter comes to an end, my best advice is to spend them on nonperishables. Buying '$# worth of packaged snack foods may seem extreme, but the three-week break provides plenty of time to ! nish it all.

So remember to spend those equivalency meals, use those guest passes and spend those points. You or your parents have already paid for a quarter’s worth of food, so why not eat it? Food might not make the college experience, but it’s certainly a nice perk.

An article in , e Guardian last year described the observations made by a palliative nurse — a nurse who consoles the dying — named Bronnie Ware. , e article included Ware’s list of the most common regrets people had during their ! nal days, a time during which people gain an excep-tional sense of clarity. One of the top ! ve was wishing to have stayed in touch with friends.

, e article was very insightful and provided an interesting perspective on life. People o. en don’t keep in touch with friends as much as they should. It’s not that the friendships aren’t valued, but that people become too occupied with other things to give friendships the time and e" ort they deserve.

It’s a pattern I notice at times in my own life, especially when it comes to keeping in contact with my friends from high school. Although we are able to see each other o. en during breaks, communication during the school year can

easily become sparse, as we become occupied with school and activities. However, when I do receive a text from a close high school friend, it can make my day.

It’s a pattern I also notice, perhaps more embarrassingly, with my friends on campus, who all live less than *% minutes walking dis-tance from my apartment. Even with my best friends on campus, I sometimes ! nd myself going weeks without seeing them or having a conversation with them. , ese weeks without interaction are usually the weeks when I have the most amounts of work and stress and are when I need my friends the most.

However, we live in a culture where this pat-tern of behavior is extremely common. I am not the only one that does this. I see it all around me at Northwestern — students are too busy to hang out with friends or make time for a lunch date. , e words “sorry, I’m busy” are used all too frequently and are the go-to excuse when break-ing o" plans with friends.

At NU, we say that we’re busy so o. en that we convince ourselves we’re busier than we really are. We say we’re busy so o. en that we convince ourselves we have time for nothing but school and extracurriculars, and we plan and live out

our days accordingly.Recently the NU community has been

shaken by two more suicides. , ese tragedies have sparked a lot of thought and discus-sion throughout the school, causing many of us to take a second look at our values and the way we live our lives on a day-to-day basis. , ey have also reminded me of something a friend said to me the sum-mer a. er my senior year of high school. My community back home was struck hard a. er a few students had com-mitted suicide within a few months of each other. My friend and I were discussing

these events when she mentioned how one of the suicides involved a classmate of hers who

was very well-liked. “It’s interesting how people can feel so alone,” she said, “but be surrounded by people that love them so much.”

A. er the suicides both on campus and back home, each community came together to express its grief and love for those who had passed and its support for their families. Although it’s wonderful that people can come together in the event of someone’s death, it’s also unfortunate that we o. en hold o" expressing ourselves until it’s too late.

Here at NU, a stressful and competitive environment, we need to remind each other we are not alone. Being “busy” is never a reason to hold o" keeping in touch with the people we care about the most. You are never too busy to ! nd time during the day to make a ! ve-minute phone call. You are never too busy to text “how’s it going?” to a friend you haven’t heard from in a while. , ese are the simple interactions that will brighten your day and will make our community a better place to live.

Reach out, keep in touch with old friends often

Following last week’s naming of the word “sel! e” as the Oxford Dictionaries )%*$ “Word of the Year,” columnists have taken to media outlets to discuss this worrisome trend, this symbol of our ever-more sel! sh and narcissistic society.

To set the record straight for those who fear the downfall of the English language: Sel! e was not actually added to the Oxford English Dictionary (yet), but it was recog-nized as a word that “attracted a great deal of interest during the year to date.”

And it has. We can ! nd sel! es of young children with their pets, teens with their friends, technologically struggling grand-parents, celebrities and politicians. Even the popular Snapchat, one of the top *% free apps on Apple’s App Store, is used heavily for sel! es.

We’ve arrived at a point where anything that involves “me” can be equated to narcis-sism. , is may be true in some cases, and narcissism can be found in sel! es. It can also be found in people who like to be in every picture, people who tweet every moment of their lives and Instagram every bite they take.

But these individual circumstances don’t de! ne the trend; they are an inevitable sub-category. Sel! es have become an aspect of contemporary culture that can mean so much more.

Last year, a high school friend of mine embarked on a sel! e mission. Her photos captured joy, friendship and her dream of one day meeting Ellen DeGeneres. To this day, she’s accrued more than #%% sel! es in an album titled “sel! e time?” on Facebook, and on Instagram, she posts sel! es with a caption

that includes “/dailysel! e until I get my /sel! etimewithEllen.”

Knowing her, the last words I could ever think of to describe her would be narcissistic or sel! sh. Her sel! es are but a re0 ection of her vibrant and friendly personality. Self-ies, for me, don’t mean being obsessed with oneself. , ey mean taking a moment to hit the pause button on life and appreciate an experience.

Moments with friends, meeting a celebrity, enjoying my favorite drink from Starbucks, or even making a weird face at a frozen puddle are appreciated through taking the time to stop and capture them. , ese become moments that we can share with friends and loved ones, allowing them to get a glimpse of how we’re doing, as well as cherish them ourselves as memories.

Instead of overanalyzing the dystopian consequences of people taking pictures of themselves making a funny face or with a celebrity, we need to appreciate a cultural phenomenon that brings a little bit of our everyday humanity to our pictures and allows us to appreciate everything we experience.

With that sentiment in mind over the coming holiday, taking a family (or whom-ever you’ll be celebrating with) sel! e might be one way to stop and appreciate the moment.

Friday’s Puzzle Solved

Wednesday’s Puzzle Solved


really have a say so on hours or how they run their business.”

Changes in cuisine

Since the start of Fall Quarter, campus dining has undergone major shi!s.

"e Great Room is closed. Subway replaced the Norris sandwich and salad stations. Fran’s Cafe, Fron-tera Fresco and half of the Norris food court slashed their hours. Allison dining hall added weekend hours, while #$%& Hinman dining hall is now shuttered Sat-urdays and Sundays. Foster-Walker Complex debuted a late-night take-out program.

Opening at ## a.m., the grill and the stir fry and pasta stations now close at % p.m. instead of ' p.m. Subway, which debuted in early October, opens at ## a.m. and closes at ( p.m. An Indian food station joined the food court for lunch.

Citing budgetary concerns, University o)cials also altered Frontera’s hours. "e Mexican grill cut its breakfast options and now opens at ## a.m. instead of $ a.m. Frontera rescinded its late-night options during the week. "e restaurant shuts down completely at ' p.m. instead of o*ering a limited menu until #+ p.m.

"e Great Room, a former late-night location on Haven Street, is now open by reservation only a!er it was repurposed as a space for student events.

"e Norris schedule changes were made over the summer in a joint decision by nuCuisine, Norris sta* and Student A*airs following an analysis of Norris data. University o)cials say they stemmed from low tra)c and low sales.

“We want to minimize the labor that’s around the evening hours,” said Steve Mangan, district manager for nuCuisine. “We can’t have everything open all the time when there’s very small amounts of tra)c.”

‘These are people’s lives’

Students are not the only ones a*ected by the hour cuts.

Workers at multiple dining locations across campus, including the Norris food court, Fran’s, Frontera and Hinman, have reported losing hours this quarter.

"e nuCuisine contract guarantees only %'.& hours a week, said Banks, the union representative, but that was not heavily enforced until this year. Workers had typically been given more hours, he said.

Some employees report not getting their guaranteed hours each week, speci,cally those whose dining loca-tions faced hour cuts.

Banks, who works at Sargent dining hall, said all nuCuisine workers recently received raises, but the loss of hours negated the increased wages.

One Norris worker, who asked to remain anony-mous for fear of being ,red, reported dropping from about %' or %$ hours a week to -. or -& hours a!er the food court closures. "e worker has been taking weekend shi!s and spots at other University functions to compensate for lost hours.

“I’ve been working my o* days. I’ve been working later,” the Norris worker said. “If I want to work at the C-store, I can get more hours, but I have to wait until someone doesn’t want it. I’m going here and going there just to be able to make up that money.”

"e worker said during Family Weekend she noticed parents were also concerned about what their students eat on the weekends, something University President Morton Schapiro said came up during an event he attended Family Weekend.

Mangan denies any retail changes have cut workers’ hours. "e addition of Frontera and Subway added jobs, Mangan said, noting his employee count has risen by more than %+ in the last two years.

If some station lost hours, workers moved to other locations that needed more labor, he said.

“I hear some questions about the workers being displaced, and that’s just false,” Mangan said. “"ere’s no basis to that.”

As the union steward for Norris and Plex, Banks said other stewards have received complaints from nuCuisine employees. Union representatives have a meeting scheduled for Monday to discuss next steps.

“We’re trying to ,ght for more hours,” he said. “Campus-wide, all the union stewards have been hear-ing the same thing about the hours being cut.”

"e late notice about campus dining hour changes resulted from ine)cient communication between Sodexo and the University, Banks said. Sodexo employees told him they were waiting on the Univer-sity to provide the hour changes, which were relayed at “the last minute.”

Contractually, workers do not have a say in hours or overall management of the place they work, Banks said.

With significant hour cuts at Frontera, one employee reported dropping from /+ hours per week to %& hours, losing overtime opportunities and regular hours. "e worker says she has seen many frustrated nuCuisine employees.

“People are angry. People can’t really do day-to-day living,” the employee said. “All these bouncing around — these are people’s lives and well-beings at stake.”

A lack of transparency, student input

"is summer, one Norris worker called her superior with a question about payment. When the worker asked about Fall Quarter schedules, she was told Sub-way was replacing the salad and sandwich station and food court hours had shi!ed.

"e worker, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of losing her job, said supervisors did not pro-vide workers with adequate notice about schedule changes.

“If I didn’t ask what’s going on, (my superior) wouldn’t have said anything,” the worker said. “I wouldn’t have known until the opening meeting.”

Multiple workers con,rmed the ,rst time they heard about the hour changes was at their opening sta* meeting before fall classes started.

Malloy and other students recall learning of the hour changes only when they went to eat in Nor-ris at the beginning of the year. Associated Student

Government also had no prior warning or involve-ment with the decision, said Alex Van Atta, ASG executive vice president.

In surveys and interactions, many students sug-gested Subway as an option and complained about the greasy pizza at Sbarro, which Frontera replaced last year, o)cials say. Kelly Schaefer, Norris’ executive director, said the decision was di)cult because she did not want to upset any students, but overall she believes the reaction has been positive.

Despite poor communication, Van Atta said he thinks o)cials intended to improve dining.

He said Schaefer apologized for not letting ASG know about the hour changes in Norris.

“If I had it to do over again I would have announced the changes ahead of time and asked students to react that way,” Schaefer said.

Cutting costs

NuCuisine is funded by student meal plans and campus dining purchases. When the cost of food goes up or business goes down, Mangan said he doesn’t turn to the University for more money.

Schaefer analyzes Norris data frequently, tracking the sales and tra)c counts to see what students buy and at what time. Operating at last year’s hours, Norris dining was struggling, she said.

“In the student center, break even is OK,” Schaefer said. “But we weren’t there, though. We weren’t at a break even.”

Frontera especially had unsustainable hours last year, Schaefer and Mangan said. In addition to clos-ing breakfast and late-night hours, the Mexican grill also cut back weekend shi!s, closing completely on Sundays a!er previously being open from noon to #+ p.m. Saturday hours changed from noon to ' p.m. to ## a.m. to % p.m., Mangan said.

Some students see the trend as an overall reduction of dining choices in Norris, especially for dinner.

Communication junior Jacob Trauberman said he found the loss of food court stations for dinner disappointing. Dinner is a choice between Subway and Frontera, he said, and a!er ' p.m. the only choice is Subway.

“As juniors we’ve seen Norris undergo a lot of changes,” he said. “When I was here as a freshman, it was awesome to have so many options.”

Frontera finances

Opening in late-November -+#-, Frontera replaced Sbarro, Crepe Bistro, Jamba Juice and the made-to-order nuSushi station, which relocated to the food court.

Jamba Juice didn’t get a lot of business in the winter, and despite its popular Happy Hour special, Crepe Bistro didn’t generate enough sales either, said Julie Payne-Kirchmeier, assistant vice president for student auxiliary services, who also oversees Norris. Sbarro was replaced by North Shore Pizza Company, and nuSushi is now available pre-packaged in the C-Store.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 2013 THE DAILY NORTHWESTERN | NEWS 9

NU is the !rst campus site for Frontera, created by celebrity chef Rick Bayless. Administrators laud its organic and locally sourced ingredients and wide appeal.

“It’s an important partnership,” Schaefer said. “It’s a very high-pro!le piece for the Northwestern food program.”

However, Norris o"cials recognize the high prices made the establishment expensive for students. Frontera went from operating #$ hours a week last academic year to $$ hours this year — an about $# percent reduction, according to numbers con!rmed by nuCuisine.

“If we don’t have a critical mass of customers, I’ve got !ve or six people standing there with high labor cost,” Mangan said. “So we need to make those hard decisions.”

A%er student complaints about Frontera’s expensive prices, nuCuisine increased equivalency meal values this year so students could purchase more with each meal, Payne-Kirchmeier said. Introducing Subway was meant to be a low-cost alternative, Schaefer said, and is performing better than she had expected.

Although o"cials tout high tra"c at Subway, stu-dents point out that a%er & p.m. it is essentially the only made-to-order dining option in Norris. Some students are also still concerned about Frontera’s prices and a la carte pricing.

Communication junior Khari Shelton said even with the increased meal equivalency value, he still !nds Frontera too expensive.

“I still don’t think you can get a full meal at Frontera without having to use a meal plus,” he said. “You can’t get chips or a drink. Your meal is like a sandwich. It’s just really frustrating.”

Frontera initially seemed successful, but a%er a cer-tain amount of time restaurants lose their novelty, Van Atta said. Students’ chief complaint is cost, he added.

Rumors among students, workers and administra-tors indicate a Dunkin’ Donuts will replace the south end of Frontera, which serves ice cream and co'ee.

Schaefer said NU had “challenged” Frontera to rein-vent the south end, adding o"cials are still tweaking the area. Multiple Frontera workers said that section of the restaurant does not receive much tra"c.

Mangan, Schaefer and Payne-Kirchmeier declined to comment on a potential Dunkin’ Donuts, but Scha-piro alluded to the possibility in an interview with (e Daily earlier this month.

“I do these !resides all the time, and I was at some sorority — we were talking about it, and I think I mentioned Double D,” Schapiro said. “I said, ‘Well,

Subway and Dunkin’ Donuts are there,’ and they said, ‘Dunkin’ Donuts?’”

A lack of late night

Before being replaced by Frontera, Crepe Bistro was open until )) p.m. on weeknights and * p.m. on weekends. Jamba Juice was open until & p.m. every day except Saturday, and Sbarro was open until * p.m. seven days a week, according to Web archives of nuCuisine’s old hours.

Frontera now closes at & p.m. on weeknights, but administrators point to Subway and North Shore Pizza Company as Norris’ new late-night dining. Subway closes at * p.m. every day, and North Shore is open until )) p.m. Sunday through (ursday and until * p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

Still, some students lament the lack of late-night food across campus. Most of NU’s dining halls close by & or &:)+ p.m. during the week, and many have reduced hours on weekends.

Citing a lack of business, this year nuCuisine closed the Great Room, which was previously open until , a.m. Sunday through (ursday, according to the online archives. Students and nuCuisine workers also say Fran’s, Willard’s late-night option, is no longer open on Fridays.

Mangan said Fran’s was not open Friday nights at least in the past two years, but a June ,-), version of the nuCuisine website indicates Fran’s previously had Friday hours from # p.m. to , a.m. Students and workers also say Fran’s was open Fridays last academic year.

Weinberg sophomore Kevin Hardiman, a Willard resident, said Fran’s was good for food on Friday nights a%er parties. (e cafe was always closed Saturdays, so it was a blow to lose Friday as well, he said.

He noted North Campus has a weekend late-night option, Lisa’s Cafe, a retail location in Slivka Residential College that is open until , a.m. seven days a week.

“If you’re going out o'-campus and you’re com-ing back here, Willard is convenient,” he said. “Lisa’s isn’t.”

To help remedy the issue, nuCuisine and ASG introduced a carry-out option in Plex this quarter to accommodate students with commitments during dinner hours. Students can order from a special menu from #:.- to )) p.m. Monday through (ursday.

But multiple students expressed concern that with all the changes, NU is not leaving enough options open to meet all students’ needs.

“I don’t think nuCuisine is serving the students,” Trauberman said. “I don’t think they realize that the schedule of Northwestern students — you can’t map them.”

Getting feedback

Some changes this year were speci!cally student-driven. Based on feedback, ASG helped move Hin-man’s weekend hours to Allison.

Mangan and Schaefer said garnering and incor-porating student feedback is a goal for nuCuisine and Norris this year.

NuCuisine has worked to develop channels of stu-dent input and form more consistent focus groups, said Rachel Tilghman, marketing manager for Sodexo.

(e food service provider also checks comment cards submitted online and in the dining halls, and Tilghman is helping coordinate focus groups with community assistants to assess resident dining. From these groups, she said she has heard positive feedback about Allison’s weekend hours, opening Subway and using the Great Room for student catering.

Tilghman is working to form a campus dining stu-dent advisory board comprised of students, members of ASG’s dining services committee and student sta' who work for nuCuisine.

Weinberg senior Aaron Zelikovich, a representative on Sodexo’s National Student Board of Directors, and McCormick junior Jenn Huang, ASG’s !rst director of dining services, have helped coordinate the board, which begins meeting regularly in the winter, Tilgh-man said.

Still, the Norris worker who was cut to ,+ hours a week worries nuCuisine is not creating bene!cial policies for workers or students.

“(ey are not focusing on the students’ needs, and that is solely our main purpose in being here,” she said. “It’s not working for faculty and sta', it’s not working for us as the sta', it’s not working for the students.”

“I know every fan wants me to go for it every fourth down,” Fitzgerald said. “I get the criti-cism, and I respect it. When we go for it and get it, that’s great, and when we go for it and don’t get it sometimes we put ourselves in tough situations.”

Cats come up short against No. 17 Golden BearsWomen’s Basketball

By JOSH WALFISH01234 567289 5:1;;69 @JoshWal%sh

Northwestern fell behind early to California and never fully recovered, su&ering its %rst defeat.

+e Wildcats took their %rst road trip of the young season, heading to California to take on the *"th-ranked Golden Bears. California scored the %rst , points and *! of the %rst *- to establish control. NU made a small comeback to get the score within * point, but it never got back to level with California, which cruised to a (---* victory.

“We had our chances, but we just couldn’t cut into their lead enough where we could get down one or two with the ball,” coach Joe McKeown said. “We played hard. +e %rst road game, it was a good expe-rience for us, and that’s what you want to do in non-conference, learn something.”

NU’s shots did not fall for most of the game, with

the Cats shooting !* percent from the %eld and less than *. percent from behind the arc. +e poor shoot-ing was not from a lack of good opportunities, but rather from a sti<ing California defense. +e Cats only had seven assists on *. baskets, although they normally average an assist on (. percent of scores.

Freshman forward Nia Co&ey, who boasted *. points per game, was held scoreless for the %rst half and only mustered " points on !-for-*# shooting. Sophomore guard Maggie Lyon led the way for the Cats with *" points despite shooting --for-*" from the %eld.

“+ey’re a really good defensive team,” McKeown said. “+ey made things tough. I thought we got some good shots. ... (Co&ey) is going to be the focal point of the other team’s defense, and we need to help her work through that.”

California’s two starters at forward, Reshanda Gray and Courtney Range, dominated NU inside, scoring !$ points and collecting '! rebounds combined. It was part of a larger trend of the Golden Bears dominating

in the paint. California outscored NU !#-'. in the paint and out-rebounded the Cats #"-!,, including *. o&ensive boards. +e dominance on the inside also paved the way for the Golden Bears to score *# second-chance points and limit NU’s starting for-wards to " points and *! rebounds combined.

Part of that dominance came from NU’s three main front court options getting into foul trouble. Co&ey had four fouls, as did junior Alex Cohen, and sophomore Lauren Douglas fouled out with about nine minutes le) to play.

“We got in foul trouble — they’re a great rebound-ing team and that was the di&erence in the game,” McKeown said. “+e di&erence in this game was keeping them o& the o&ensive glass, and we couldn’t do it.”

NU’s turnover demons followed the team to the West Coast as the Cats turned the ball over *, times. California made NU pay for those miscues, scoring '! points o& those *, mistakes. +e turnovers were less of an issue for NU this season because the Cats

had a ".- turnover margin in their %rst four games. NU forced *, California turnovers which led to only , points on the other end.

Yet NU’s defense once again stepped up to the task and held California to !-.- percent shooting and just '(." percent from behind the arc. McKeown said he thought the game plan was good, but the lack of rebounding hurt the Cats on defense.

“We made them miss their %rst shot, and that’s a big thing,” McKeown said. “If we can do that and get better at rebounding, then we can have a little more margin to run (in transition).”

NU crushed in final home game

By ALEX PUTTERMAN!"#$% &'(#)* &+",,'* @AlexPutt-.

It’s been that kind of season for Northwestern.

/e Wildcats trailed Michigan State 0-1 in the second quarter Sat-urday when Spartans quarterback Connor Cook lo2ed a back-shoulder sideline 3oater to wide receiver Ben-nie Fowler. Fowler reached around an NU defender and corralled the ball with one hand, then cruised untouched to the end zone for an 40-yard touchdown.

NU (5-0, --0 Big Ten) never again had a chance in a 1--6 loss to Michi-gan State (7--7, 0--).

/e loss — the Cats’ seventh in a row — o8cially eliminated the team from bowl contention.

“It’s de9nitely been a rough expe-rience,” senior defensive end Tyler Scott said. “You never want to lose a game, but to lose seven in a row — it’s challenging.”

Unlike in recent weeks, when NU has kept games close before losing late, Saturday’s matchup was a blow-out by mid-third quarter. /e Cats couldn’t capitalize on o:ensive oppor-tunities and were uncharacteristically porous on defense.

Senior quarterback Kain Colter — honored in a pregame ceremony

along with 71 other seniors — le2 the 9eld with an upper extremity injury on NU’s second drive of the game and

did not return.“I’m obviously incredibly disap-

pointed for him in his last game here,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “What a great career he’s had. So many magi-cal moments at Ryan Field.”

Trevor Siemian, le2 to take all the Cats’ meaningful snaps under center, produced mixed results. /e junior quarterback was .;-51 on the day for

..0 yards and two interceptions.In total, NU gained 17< yards of

o:ense and 7< 9rst downs, but the Cats couldn’t reach the end zone.

Conservative decision-making remained a theme for Fitzgerald and his sta: until the game was well out of hand. In the 9rst half, the Cats punted

It was another slow start for North-western at Welsh-Ryan Arena.

A2er handily defeating Illinois-Chicago on Wednesday by a 1;-point margin, the Wildcats (1-.) struggled early against the IUPUI Jaguars (.-5), but recovered to capture a dramatic 61-67 victory.

Redshirt senior forward Drew Crawford, NU’s star scorer, 9nished the 9rst half with - points on just three attempted shots. Joining him at the bottom of the box score was redshirt junior guard JerShon Cobb, another player expected to make big contributions this season. Cobb was just 7-of-6 from the 9eld in the open-ing half.

“Give them credit,” Crawford said, “they did a good job defensively. … I just have to come out and attack and be more aggressive, and I didn’t do that in the 9rst half tonight.”

At the opposite end of the spec-trum, redshirt freshman forward San-jay Lumpkin continued his strong play for the Cats. He hit his 9rst four shots, and 9nished the half with 4 points,

9ve rebounds and an assist.“Sanjay is our do-everything guy,”

coach Chris Collins said. “He’s one of our most important guys. It might not show up with points, but he’s a great rebounder and our best defender.”

Sophomore Kale Abrahamson and freshman Nate Taphorn made key contributions o: the bench. /e forwards combined for just 71 min-utes in the 9rst half, but together were 1-for-; from 1-point range and added two rebounds.

“/ere’s going to be nights where they’re playing heavy minutes,” Collins said. “/ey just have to be ready.”

Despite committing six turnovers in the opening .- minutes, NU entered the locker room trailing by just 1 points.

Foul trouble plagued the Cats to open the second half. Lumpkin was called for a technical foul and was pulled from the game when he picked up his fourth personal foul just 9ve minutes in.

Picking up his third foul moments a2er Lumpkin le2, junior guard Dave Sobolewski also spent much of the second half on the bench. One game removed from leading the team with a career-high .; points, Sobolewski 9nished with 7- points.

/e score was tight throughout the second half, but Crawford returned to form to lead NU to victory. He ended the night with 7. points, 7- rebounds and four assists. It was his second double-double of the season.

Cobb had a quiet 9nal .- minutes, but hit the winning layup for the Cats with ..1 seconds to play.

“On the last play, JerShon just made a play,” Collins said. “He was the guy I wanted with the ball, even though he wasn’t having his best night.”

NU also unveiled a .-1 zone defense midway through the sec-ond half to stifle IUPUI’s inside penetration.

Overall it was a strong team e:ort from NU, with 9ve players 9nishing the game with at least 4 points.

“/ere’s not going to be an easy game on our schedule,” Collins said. “We can be a good team but … our margin for error is very slim.”

Reflecting on my last home game

It felt like < degrees outside, my feet had all but frozen solid in my shoes, and the Wildcats were down 1--6. Obviously, it’s not what I had in mind when I imag-ined my last home football game.

To be fair, I never expected North-western to beat Michigan State. I was utterly surprised when the Cats led for a brief but oh-so-gleeful moment in the 9rst quarter. /e reality hit me like the pounding wind ripping across Ryan Field when the Spartans’ Bennie Fowler ran for an 40-yard touchdown.

Shocked? Yes. Upset? Hell yes. Would it hinder my spirits? No. Here I was among a decent 9rst-half student section, and the game wasn’t too out of hand. 75-1? I can deal with that.

But it didn’t end there, Cats. As stu-dents salvaged their remaining few blood cells and loaded onto the buses during the break, NU failed to prove a reason to stay. Pathetic attempt followed horrible play calling time and time again.

And I apologize for coming late because I overslept. But I still got there just a few minutes a2er kicko:. /is pal-try performance wasn’t my fault, right? My purple heart moaned in agony.

When the Cats blocked a kick, they had become such a joke that members of their own student section (the .0 of us remaining, many fellow seniors, hope-lessly trying to 9nd some sad, masoch-istic method of coping with the defeat) started chanting “Rose Bowl” in jest.

Yet, I stood there in below-freezing temperatures waiting for something. All the heartbreak, Hail Marys and miracle 9eld goals meant nothing. I was doing one of my favorite things at NU.

Rushing the 9eld a2er beating Iowa my freshman year is one of my favorite college memories. And Saturday, scream-ing my lungs out on every down, hearing the marching band boom even a2er everything possible had gone wrong, solidi9ed another special moment. It was the last time I rooted for the Cats at our house as an undergrad.

I wanted to be down there. I itched to leave the press box a2er viewing the the-atrical spectacles that have befallen NU from 7-- feet in the air all season long.

Perhaps I ruined the season by not donning purple each and every Saturday since August. Perhaps if I would have been in the crowd each week, cheering for Kain Colter and Pat Fitzgerald, the icons wouldn’t have fallen to an abysmal level. Perhaps I should take it all back and start over Oct. ;. But I couldn’t and I didn’t want to. I didn’t know what to make of this season.

I knew only a few things.It felt like < degrees outside, my feet

had all but frozen solid in my shoes, and the Cats were down 1--6. Obvi-ously, it was a spectacular way to spend a November a2ernoon.
