Despite the ongoing controversy sur-rounding Tannenbaum Chabad House’s disa� liation from Northwestern, there has been no apparent drop in the num-ber of students at Friday night Shabbat dinners.
Northwestern formally disassociated with Rabbi Dov Hillel Klein and Chabad House on Sept. 11 due to concerns about alcohol being served to students there.
No alcohol was present at Friday’s dinner. Instead, students sipped spar-kling grape juice and Coca Cola from plastic cups at Shabbat, a weekly reli-gious meal where some students at Cha-bad House used to drink hard liquor, Klein told � e Daily in September.
Students in attendance Friday con-� rmed no alcohol had been served at any of the weekly dinners this school year.
Matthew Renick, a Communication
senior who is president of the Chabad House Student Executive Board, said about 75 people continue to attend Shabbat dinners, about the same num-ber as last year. Renick said the Univer-sity’s decision to disa� liate with Chabad has resulted in “strong connections.”
“We feel a lot of rallying of support from the students and community,” he said. “It’s brought people closer together from all those areas.”
Even more students attended dinner Friday, when the organization hosted an Israel-themed Shabbat and invited students who attended Birthright trips to return for a reunion. Extra tables had to be set up to accommodate the unan-ticipated in� ux of guests.
Prior to the meal, Klein spoke to the attendees about the importance of hospitality. He explained to the room that ful� llment comes in serving others, and he quoted from a commencement address Bill Cosby gave at NU about the philosophy of whether the glass is half empty or half full.
“If you are drinking, the center of reality is yourself,” said Klein, quoting Cosby. “If you are pouring for others, then you are half full.”
Klein said hearing Cosby’s speech changed his life. At the dinner, he walked
around the room, hugging many of the students as they walked in.
Renick said the decision has not impacted the organization’s ability to recruit freshmen. Communication freshman Sarah Schwartz said she � rst learned about Chabad House from a mailing she received over the summer and attended her � rst dinner when
many of the students she was with at the Hillel Shabbat decided to visit the Chabad House.
Renick said although the disa� liation has had little notable e� ect on program-ming at Chabad House, Klein’s in� uence on campus has been missed. He said

� e Evanston Police o� cer who wrongfully handcu� ed a Northwest-ern professor’s son has been cleared of racial pro� ling a er an internal inves-tigation, according to an EPD report released this weekend.
During a burglary investigation in August, EPD o� cer Mark Buell brie� y handcu� ed Diwani Greenwell, the
13-year-old son of Medill Prof. Ava Greenwell. EPD o� cials said Diwani matched the description of a burglary suspect detailed as a “black male wear-ing blue cargo shorts.”
� e Greenwell family claims the detainment hinged on a vague and widely applicable racial description and that EPD showed an excessive amount of force by using handcu� s and surrounding Diwani Green-well with o� cers in front of his own home.
An EPD report to be presented to Evanston aldermen tonight clas-si� es Greenwell’s allegation of racial pro� ling as “unfounded.” � e report points out that Diwani was pursued because he matched the description and appeared to elude other o� cers as they approached him. � e internal investigation included interviews with the Greenwell family, police o� cers involved in the original burglary case and civilian witnesses, as well as audio and video surveillance records.
“These are the reasons he was detained,” the report reads. “� ere is no credible evidence to support other-wise, and certainly not to support the accusation of racial pro� ling.”
In a letter attached to the report, EPD Chief Richard Eddington wrote that police handcu� ed Diwani because they feared he might run away. � ey brought him to the front of the house from the back in order to more speed

CAs: $200 key fine policy reversed
By TAL AXELRODthe daily northwestern
With no official notice or expla-nation, University Residential Life reversed an unpopular, month-long policy that required students to pay $200 after being locked out of their room three times.
The Daily previously reported that the policy was originally put into place in early October.
For each lockout, the policy required that residents receive a ticket tracking their lockouts, show their keys to their community assis-tant and meet with the building’s area coordinator, according to a Sept. 26 email sent to 1835 Hinman residents by Community Assistant Vivian Wang. After the third lock-out, students would have to pay a $200 fee to change the locks, regard-less of whether they had lost their keys or not.
Allison Community Assistant Sha-ron Kim, a sophomore, confirmed this policy was no longer in place. She said students no longer have to pay the fee after their third lockout.
Mark D’Arienzo, associate direc-tor of University Housing, could not be reached for comment.
Kim said many students did not like the old policy.
“Like everyone else, I thought it was pretty harsh,” she said.
Kim seemed surprised to find that news of the change in pol ic y was getting out. She said that it was not “public knowledge.” Addition-a l ly, area coordina-tors have not sent out
emails to their residents informing them of the change.
Dorm residents such as Wein-berg sophomore Lauren Schneider expressed frustration at the Univer-sity’s failure to widely publicize this change in policy. Schneider said the lack of publicity about the changes keeps students like her misinformed and worried about a policy that no longer exists.
Some students are glad that the lockout penalty has been lifted because of the potential financial hardships it would cause.
“I think the new policy will ease the financial burden off of students who frequently forget their keys,” said Mahir Khan, a sophomore liv-ing in Lindgren House “It is also possible that some students will be less responsible about carrying their

Man arrested on drug charges
A 24-year-old man was arrested Wednes-day and charged with several drug-related offenses.
The man, Eric Seaton, has been wanted in connection with drug-related charges since April, Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said. Seaton was arrested in April and charged with unlawful possession of cannabis. Police found
him with nine grams of cannabis and 15 pills believed to be hydrocodone, a generic form of Vicodin, Parrott said. At the time of his arrest, Seaton indicated that the pills were not narcotics.
Officers released Seaton without charges in April and submitted the pills to the Illinois State Police for testing. Parrott said the results from testing confirmed that the pills were nar-cotics, and police have been hoping to charge
Seaton with this offense ever since.Police saw Seaton in the backseat of a car
Wednesday. When Seaton was stopped, police allegedly found three grams of cannabis on his person. Seaton has been charged with the possession of cannabis and of a controlled sub-stance with intent to deliver. He is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 29 and Dec. 17.

For 91-year-old World War II veteran Bob Larsen, the American Legion Post 42 annual pancake breakfast is a chance to connect with other retired servicemen.
“I came to the annual breakfast every year to support and recall war stories with other veterans,” Larsen said.
The local American Legion branch held the 26th annual breakfast Saturday morning at its hall, 1030 Central St.
The event serves as a fundraiser and a chance to bring members together, said Greg Wilson, the post’s commander.
“The idea of holding pancake breakfast as a way for fundraising originated from the shared belief that pancake is something very traditional America,” Wilson said. “And it turned out to work well in the first few years, so we keep running it.”
Wilson said the number of people who
come to the annual breakfast has varied from 300 to 600 in recent years and that about 400 to 450 attended this year.
The breakfast has raised more than $47,000 in recent years to provide daily necessities to needy families throughout the Evanston com-munity, he said.
The proceeds will benefit a variety of local charities, and will allow struggling families and the dis-abled to attain food, clothing and toys for the upcoming holidays.
Evanston res i-dent Mary Jo Banks brought her two sons and another family to this year’s breakfast. Banks, whose uncle is a member of American Legion, also attends other Legion-organized events such as a sum-mer picnic and golf competition.
“The atmosphere here is really good,” Banks said. “People are talking to each other, and families get a chance for morning gathering.”
A majority of the people present were members of American Legion Post 42 and their families, Wilson said.
Post 42 Ladies Auxiliary, a group com-prised of wives and daughters of veterans that participates in American Legion activities, also held a bake sale that benefits five area Veterans Affairs hospitals and other funds.
Members of the Evanston Police Depart-ment also attended, as well as the Boy Scouts of America, which has been sponsored by American Legion since 2001.
“I think breakfast is really a good way for fundraising,” said Jasper Davidoff, a 13-year-old Boy Scout. “It’s not just about donation, you are also giving people something back.”
The breakfast provided buttermilk pan-cakes, sausages, eggs and endless coffee, milk and orange juice.
Tickets were $7 for adults and kids six and younger ate free. The Ladies Auxiliary also held a craft and bake sale at the breakfast to sell hand-made gifts.

The Beta Pi chapter of Delta Tau Delta hosted its first annual philanthropy event Sunday, com-pleting its last requirement to become a part of the Interfraternity Council at Northwestern.
Delt, which began recruiting new members last fall, officially recolonized in February. The move came after a four-year absence from NU Greek life following Delt’s removal from campus in June 2007 due to violations of the Student Code of Conduct.
Philanthropy chair Josh Morman said Sun-day’s Deltona 500 event, a tricycle race around the Lakefill, was the last requirement Delt had to fulfill to be formally recognized as an IFC chapter. Other
expectations Delt had to meet to be part of IFC included “everything in terms of chapter manage-ment, community service, alumni involvement, academics and finances,” IFC president Patrick Schnettler said.
“The guidelines are not hard and fast rules,” Schnettler said. “The goal is to make sure it is a well-run organization and one that’s going to be an asset to the community.”
Delt’s president, Weinberg junior Ani Ajith, approached IFC last Tuesday to formally petition for Delt to join IFC. The presidents of each of the IFC chapters then voted on whether or not to admit the fraternity, Schnettler said.
“The vote was unanimous,” he said.As an IFC chapter, Delt now has full rights to
participate in any vote that IFC makes, Schnettler said. The decision to allow Delt to officially become a part of IFC was made with the understanding that Delt would complete two last requirements over the weekend, Morman said.
“The two requirements we still had to fulfill were a community service event that a majority of
the chapter attends and a university-wide service event,” he said.
To fulfill the community service requirement, Delt members participated in a park clean-up event on Saturday, with Deltona 500 serving as the university philanthropy event.
“I was searching online for stuff to do, and there was one Delt chapter that does a downhill tricycle race, which I thought sounded pretty fun. And then I came up with the name Deltona 500,” Morman said.
Weinberg sophomore Mary Fox said before the event that she was excited to participate in the race.
“It’s a bunch of grown college students riding tricycles,” she said. “It’s going to be hilarious.”
SESP junior Nicole Williams, who also partici-pated in the race, said she was happy to see a new fraternity on campus.
“It’s definitely exciting, especially after other frats got kicked off,” Williams said.
Williams was referencing Chi Psi fraternity’s dismissal from campus last February. The frater-nity’s national Executive Council voted to close the chapter following the members’ failure to adhere to fraternity values, according to a 2011 Daily article.
Morman says Delt plans to become even more active in philanthropy events in the future. Besides participating in Dance Marathon and Relay for Life, he said next fall the chapter plans to bring back “PJ Races, an old Delt tradition.”
Delt, currently a colony, will be initiated as a chapter and receive its charter from the national Delta Tau Delta organization Nov. 11.
Delta Tau Delta formally regains IFC statusPhilanthropy event marks frat’s final steps to becoming official chapter again at NU “
The goal is to make sure it is a well-run organization and one
that’s going to be an asset to the community.

� e past four years under President Barack Obama have been years of historical signi� -cance, big decisions and no small share of controversy. A term that began in the heart of a global economic meltdown now comes to a conclusion with millions of Americans still su� ering from the a� ershocks of that � nancial collapse. Yet through it all, President Obama has led this country with strength, solid judg-ment and a deep desire to leave this nation a better place. President Obama deserves another term in o� ce for his achievements and his vision for this country. � e character and policy shortcomings of his Republican opponent, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, and the party he represents make it critical that Obama leads us for the next four years.
� e main attacks against Obama through-out his term have been that he is either a.) hopelessly out of his league and has achieved virtually nothing in o� ce or b.) a radical Marxist who has succeeded in carrying out his top-secret socialist schemes to destroy America. � ese two critiques, in addition to being fundamentally contradictory (if he is so incompetent, how has he succeeded in trans-forming America?), could not be further from the truth.
In foreign a� airs, the President has kept his promise to end the Iraq War, decimated the Al-Qaeda leadership, killed Osama bin Laden, helped topple a dictator in Libya without losing a single American life and rebooted America’s image and relationship with the rest of the world a� er years of President George W. Bush’s swaggering “cowboy diplomacy.”
On the domestic front, his administration’s bold actions helped keep the economy from collapsing into a depression. Today we are
on the slow-but-steady road to recovery with more than two-and-a-half years of consecu-tive private-sector job growth. Contrary to Romney’s advice to “let Detroit go bankrupt,” President Obama’s administration took swi� action to rescue the American auto indus-try when it was on the verge of collapse. Today that industry has made a remarkable turnaround.
� e President has thus far made little progress in tackling the enormous debt that was le� to him by his “� scally conservative” Republican predecessor, but his vision for doing so, with a combination of spending cuts and revenue increases, is the correct approach. His plan stands in stark contrast to Romney’s refusal to accept any tax increases to pay down the debt.
Obama has also made unparalleled strides in advancing the main civil rights cause of our time by refusing to defend the Defense of Marriage Act in court, repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and placing himself on the right side of history by endorsing marriage equality for all Americans. By contrast, his Republican opponent calls for a amendment to the U.S. Constitution banning all same-sex marriages.
For his record of success in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges, his thoughtful leadership style and the gaping holes in the quali� cations of his opponent, I enthusiastically endorse President Barack Obama for a second term and I hope you will agree when you vote tomorrow.

Before I mention what presidential can-didate I will inevitably be endorsing, I need to say how much unadulterated excitement I have for this coming Tuesday. Maybe it’s because I’ve been writing this column for nearly a year now, chronicling the turbulent path that this election has followed. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m simply older, or that I’ve matured, but this is the � rst election in which I’ve really paid attention.
Even if my absentee ballot voting for for-mer Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in California will do next to nothing, I also have my own opinion about who I hope will win on Tuesday.
I wish that I could, without any scruples, say that I am 100 percent with Romney in his endeavors. I should only be articulating my support for Romney instead of attacking his opponent (not that attacking one’s opponent isn’t a bit tired by this point in the election), but I think it’s interesting to observe that the same persona of self-assuredness and cha-risma that swayed me so much in favor of President Barack Obama in the 2008 election now just rubs me the wrong way.
Politics rely almost entirely on percep-tion. Although Obama’s public face is for all purposes the same, my perceptions have changed. I don’t think he’s been able to make a signi� cant movement out of this sti� ing eco-nomic climate and that makes me see him as painfully self-righteous. In no way do I think Obama is responsible for the recession; I know he isn’t, but I resent the conviction that Obama puts behind his words when I feel like he has nothing to back up his statements.
I want the next presidency to be remem-bered as the four years that pulled us out of our economic slump. I think that despite all
his � ip-� opping and publicity inadequacies, having Romney in o� ce will assure that the economy is the priority. Whether or not his plans will help us or hurt us is another story, but I’m willing to take the risk to avoid the alternative.
I know that I’ll get a lot of � ack for saying this, but I am also voting for Romney because I just don’t believe that the government should be as powerful, or as responsible, as it is. We are a country of people living under a huge de� cit and I don’t think that programs like Obamacare and welfare reform are help-ing us to cut our spending. I care about social issues very much, but the only way we’ll really be able to prioritize them in the future is if we are on stable economic ground and that starts with alleviating some of the de� cit.
I’m also a � rm believer in supporting entrepreneurship. An innumerable amount of our jobs and capital come from large cor-porations and big scale job providers. I am not proposing that big earners shouldn’t pay equivalent taxes, but I think that the combina-tion of providing too much leeway for waver-ing companies to fall back on and sti� ing large providers of jobs in our economy is just a set up for disaster.
� ere is, obviously, a plethora of issues to contend with and those don’t even come close to covering them. I also realize that Romney’s views aren’t even completely in line with all of mine, but they sure are a lot closer than Obama’s, and at this point, to me, that’s what matters the most.

Evanston has no shortage of cafes and cof-fee shops, yet new ones continue to pop up all over town, eager to vie for business with long-established venues. More business is always good for Evanston, city officials say, yet the playing field for cafes can be rough.
Cafes opened in the past two years include Coffee Lab, Koco Table and Prana Cafe, which hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony last week.
Steve Griffin, community and economic development director, said the city is unable to specify the exact number of cafe and cof-fee shop openings because many of them are privately-owned, independent stores that do not have to be licensed by the city.
“Regardless of that fact, we have definitely noticed an increasing number of cafes,” Grif-fin said. “And they are probably contribut-ing to the city’s increase in development and revenue.”
Yet individual cafe owners are finding it difficult to break even within the first few months or even years of their grand openings. In May, J. J. Java owner Chinelo Oparaeche told The Daily she was struggling to preserve her business.
J .J. Java employee Edmond Bochnia said many local cafes prioritize advertising to Northwestern and making their businesses college-friendly because students are respon-sible for a large portion of their revenue. He
said J. J. Java, like many of the stores in Evan-ston, offers free WiFi, study areas and the WildCARD advantage that offers discounts for NU students.
The struggling economy doesn’t provide any help for cafes because a lot of people do not have the financial security they need to start their own business, Bochnia said.
“Cafes are having a hard time prospering, but I guess when you depend on a student population it’s different because they are more stable,” he said.
Many newer cafes are different from the
typical corporate coffee shops, he added. Star-bucks has a more fast-paced environment for people who pick up their coffee on the way to work. The Evanston cafes are more focused on creating a comfortable setting for students to spend longer periods of time in.
“They are more informal, more relaxed,” Bochnia said. “There’s a larger space. Students can just spend time together. Like right now we have a study group with engineers work-ing together.”
Despite proximity to NU, some cafes have also found that students don’t always make the
best customers. Open spaces with available WiFi sometimes attract students who study for hours yet don’t purchase anything, Oparaeche said. But regardless of some failings, the NU customer base is too significant to ignore, other cafe owners maintain.
Kafein barista Martin Zeff said despite the current recession, Evanston is a great place to start a cafe or coffee shop because of its closeness to NU.
“I’ve noticed more (cafes), but when you get a college town like this they’re bound to pop up everywhere,” he said.
Unicorn Cafe bartista Dean Beever said in order to make a profit and stay open, many local cafes are starting to collaborate more through city-wide business initiatives that attract college students, such as awarding 10 percent off to students wearing purple.
Beever added that even though there are many cafes in Evanston, especially in the downtown area, there is not much rivalry among them because of the differences that make each unique. Nevertheless, he said it is difficult to determine how long new cafes will last. Some Evanston cafes last for decades, but others close soon after they open.
“I guess it’s up to the customers to decide what lasts,” Beever said. “There’s a small amount of advertising, but it’s mostly what each cafe has to offer versus what other cafes have to offer and what the customers want.”

NU’s annual danceathon selects 2013 emcees
Dance Marathon picked Weinberg juniors Demetri Elias and Chloe Woodhouse as its 2013 emcees, the student organization announced tonight.
The self-titled “Team Chlemitri” will be respon-sible for keeping Northwestern students energized
as they dance for 30 hours over the weekend of March 8, 2013. Leading up to the event, Elias and Woodhouse will help raise money and awareness for the Danny Did Foundation, which benefits epilepsy education and outreach.
Elias, who served on DM dancer relations last school year, said he has wanted to be an emcee since his freshman year at NU.
“I really loved interacting with the dancers,” he said. “And to be involved on such a bigger scale,
to pump people up and be there to dance with all the people from the stage.”
He said he saw previous emcees as role models and wanted to make a similar difference in the DM experience.
Woodhouse said she and Elias are both “very passionate” about DM and have been involved every year.
“My favorite part is the reveal at the end, every-one is tired and sweaty and everyone is just dying
to know,” she said, referring to the final fundrais-ing unveiling at the end of the 30-hour event. “It’s what you’ve been going through the whole time, emcees last year said they just burst into tears. It’s a really beautiful thing for anyone but for people very involved...it’s that much more meaningful.”
More than 1,400 students signed up for DM this school year, according to organizers.

up the identification process, Eddington wrote.“In this instance, the continued movement by
the juvenile influenced the officers’ perception of the need to utilize handcuffs to detain him,” Eddington said. “It should be noted that when another juvenile was stopped during this burglary investigation, flight was not a perceived risk, con-sequently handcuffs were not utilized.”
The report also clears Buell of other alleged mis-conduct, including refusing to answer Greenwell’s questions and having a “condescending attitude” throughout the ordeal. According to the report, Buell told internal investigators that he tried to apologize to Diwani but was cut off when Green-well started “bashing police and me as a white officer.”
In her interviews for the EPD investigation, Greenwell recalled that five EPD officers, including one black male officer, surrounded her handcuffed
son during the original burglary investigation. She said when she attempted to stand next to Diwani, he told her to step away, repeatedly tell-ing her police actions were not informed by racial profiling.
“You’re a black male; you know what racial pro-filing looks like,” Greenwell reportedly answered.
After Diwani was exonerated, all the officers except Buell left without apologizing, Greenwell said. She recalled that she demanded that Buell apologize to her son and ordered Diwani out of the house to accept it despite the fact that he
was crying and angry. However, Buell’s apology “felt insincere and condescending” to Greenwell, according to the report.
“This is why black males have a very negative impression of police, because of encounters like this,” Greenwell then reportedly said.
“Well, I grew up in the projects,” Buell replied, according to the report.
In September, Diwani’s mother filed a federal lawsuit against Buell and Evanston. Although the city was dropped as a defendant in the case earlier this week, the family’s attorney said the case against Buell will continue.
Greenwell family attorney Christopher Cooper told the Chicago Tribune that the internal inves-tigation was a “cover up by a small-time police agency that really needs to take lessons from the larger agencies on how to stop-and-frisk.”
Greenwell declined to comment on the results of EPD’s internal investigation Sunday. She said she wishes to observe the police department’s presen-tation tonight before responding, but confirmed
she has not withdrawn her lawsuit against EPD.Her statement following tonight’s Human Ser-
vices Committee meeting will address the merits of the investigation and its impact on Diwani. Greenwell added that her friends, neighbors and supporters in the black community have yet to respond to EPD clearing Buell of misconduct because the news hasn’t had time to spread.
Greenwell told The Daily after filing the law-suit that she hopes to improve EPD procedure for interacting with young people during investiga-tions and change police-community relations for the better.
Eddington said in his letter that EPD will seek advice from Eastern Kentucky University Prof. Aaron Thompson of, an expert in race relations, to improve future police behavior.
“Policing of a free and democratic society is a most complex undertaking that can always be improved by additional training,” Eddington said.

Friday’s Puzzle SolvedBy Brad Wilber 11/3/12

By Suyeon Sunthe daily northwestern
SKOKIE — South Side Chicago homicide detective David Minelli visited Skokie on Sunday to talk about the lives of police officers and how the pressures of their job can affect them.
Minelli addressed a group of about 50 people at the Ethical Humanist Society of Chicago office, 7574 N. Lincoln Ave., as part of the organization’s Sunday morning world-of-working programs, during which the society presents a glimpse of the lives of professionals.
“Probably everyone in this room, at one time or another, has had a small interaction with a police officer,” said Minelli, acknowledging com-mon civilian attitudes toward police. “You leave with a negative experience, again, myself included, where they probably gave you a ticket and prob-ably cost you a little of money. If you didn’t get a ticket, you probably got a lecture from the officer. It’s not the best PR program.”
Matt Cole, former president of the Ethical Humanist Society of Chicago, moderated the speech. He said he invited Minelli to speak after meeting his wife, Jen Minelli, who taught with Cole at Parkview School in Morton Grove.
“We believe that an educated public is an ethi-cal public,” Cole said.
Minelli joined the Chicago Police Department in 1997 and became a detective in 2000. Before he became an officer, he worked in construction and drove tow trucks and forklifts in warehouses.
“The common denominator in all these jobs, for me anyways, was that I could only be so good at them,” he said. “I don’t think anyone thinks that you can be too good of an officer.”
However, he said he struggled internally with reconciling his desire to help people with his dedi-cation to his family.
He recalled one instance when he pointed his gun at someone running at him with a pickaxe. Because of the type of weapon he was using, any shot that he fired would have been considered a deliberate action, he said. As the man came within only feet of him, Minelli made a split second deci-sion to cast the gun aside to avoid fatally shooting the man and instead disarm him by tackling.
“I honestly don’t know why I did it,” he said. ”I wasn’t trying to be heroic. But I’ve often thought back to the moment. Should I have shot him? What if it had ended badly? Was that a fair risk to give to my wife? Should I have shot him? To my small child, should I have shot this guy? To my second-born, who wasn’t even conceived yet?”
Minelli grew emotional as he spoke of how much of his career he owed to his family, with whom he often remained in contact with mere phone calls and text messages.
“I missed school functions, plays, church services, football games, most holidays and
weekends,” he said, recounting long days and shifts with less than two hours of sleep. “None of this is remotely possible for me without the love and understanding of (my family).”
The sentiments of the speech resonated with Shawn Phillips, 31, of Niles, who is enrolled in the Citizen’s Police Academy. Phillips has three children and a wife and said he found himself wondering how his potential future as a police officer might affect his family.
“It’s rough,” Phillips said. “You really have to think about it. It’s a hard balance, and I keep bouncing back and forth (on a decision).”
Minelli’s 15-year-old son, John Minelli, said he took the circumstances of his father’s occupation with a grain of salt.
“Growing up, it was really hard,” he said. “But you come to kind of understand.”

there were not kosher options in the dining hall for several days during Wildcat Welcome, when the program Klein founded and directed came under new leadership. He explained that many freshmen found out about Chabad House when they came to the organization for kosher food options at that time.
Klein’s influence on campus was not just removed from the dining halls. In an email announcing the University’s disaffiliation from Chabad House, Patricia Telles-Irvin, the vice president for student affairs, wrote, “Tannenbaum Chabad House and Rabbi Klein are no longer welcome to participate in any programs, services or events associated with University students,
staff or faculty on University property.”The disaffiliation has prohibited Klein from
participating in campus life in his former roles as a University chaplain, fireside speaker and fellow at the Communications Residential Col-lege. Klein will now host his “famous” fireside talk about being a ghostbuster at Chabad House on Monday.
So far, about 800 people have signed an online petition supporting Klein and calling for further investigation of the reasons the University cited for disaffiliation, Renick said. The Lubavitch-Chabad of Illinois filed a lawsuit against the University that stated the disaffiliation occurred without due process and that NU was discriminating against the Jewish faith.
Dual play in the regular season begins on Nov. 9 when NU travels west to take on Stanford, who lost in Evanston last year. The first Big Ten dual of the season for NU will come Dec.
7 against Minnesota.“It’s a learning experience,” Pariano said.
“But nobody likes the short end of the stick. Whether it’s now, during the season or over the summer, we never want to lose.”

at you in a lot of rotations and it’s hard to account for all of them,” Chan said. “I thought we did a pretty good job controlling certain hitters, but obviously they won because they were able to really control us.”
This control was due in large part to Purdue’s dominating blocking, which put up seven blocks in the first set. Junior outside hitter Stephanie Holthus only found three kills from 19 attacks, and only sophomore hitter Yewande Akanbi achieved a posi-tive kill percentage. NU lost the first set 17-25.
By the second set, the Cats discovered the necessary changes for Purdue’s big block.
“We recognized they were blocking us really well, and we had to make adjustments and swing off their hands,” Dutchman said.
By hitting around and off the block, NU allowed Purdue to only earn two and four blocks in the second and third sets, respectively. All but one of NU’s hitters marked a positive hitting percentage in the second frame.
Purdue was not finished making life difficult for NU. The Boilermakers consistently targeted Dutchman by serving well inside the 10-foot line in an attempt to throw off NU’s offense.
“There’s a couple Big Ten teams that do that, and sometimes it’s effective,” Dutchman said. “They knew that if I pass the ball then they’re probably going to set me, so it was easier for them to read.”
The Cats were able to keep the lead in the sec-ond set until 15-15, where, after an NU timeout,
the Boilermakers came back to take the second set 25-17.
The third set went similarly to the first two. Senior libero Julie Chin performed exceptionally well defen-sively, totaling 21 digs by the end of the match. The final set ended again with Purdue up 25-17.
Although the Cats could have really used these conference wins, the team is still looking at the weekend in a positive light. Their match against the Hoosiers will be something they need to
forget quickly, but they were pleased with their performance against the Boilermakers.
Shalter attributed Friday’s loss to a mix-ture of low energy and poor play.
“That was not Northwestern volley-ball,” she said. Satur-day, on the other hand, is a performance she would like to repeat.
“Our focus was there. We played hard and we fought every single point. Purdue just played tough,” Shalter
said. “We played tough, too, and things fell their way. But as long as we keep this mental toughness and the will to keep winning every single point, it will get us there in the upcoming games.”

keys without this consequence.” Kim said she understood why Northwestern
would want to deter students from lying about lock-ing themselves out. Still, she said she is happy resi-dents will no longer be charged such a hefty fee.
“I guess it makes sense that the University would require that you pay for a lock after three times because there were incidents in the past where students claimed they had their keys and had CA’s open the doors for them,” Kim said. “And then at the end of the year, (they) didn’t have their keys.”
However, she also said this excuse is infre-quently used because it is difficult to support.
Schneider said she found the old policy danger-ous to the health of the student body.
“There was a time a few weeks ago when I got locked out from 10 in the morning until midnight because my roommate was out,” said Schneider, who lives in 1835 Hinman. “I realized later at like 8 (p.m.) that I left my medication in my room. I didn’t want to pay the $200 so I took it like six or eight hours later.”
She said it is possible that there were students in similar situations who may have put themselves at risk because they wanted to delay paying the lockout fine.
However, Schneider said she is happy that the rule has been changed.
“Everyone has those days where you forget your keys, and I feel like you shouldn’t be penalized for that,” she said.

Northwestern just received its wake-up call for the regular season.
Redshirt senior Jason Welch and redshirt sophomore Mike McMul-lan both wrestled — and lost — Saturday at the National Coaches Wrestling Association All-Star Classic.
“It’s frustrating,” coach Drew Pariano said. “We were very active in our matches, but we need to be more pro-ductive with our attacks.”
Welch’s match was against one of his biggest rivals in the 157 pound weight class, Penn State’s Dylan Alton. Alton and Welch wres-tled twice last season, setting the stage for a bigger clash this year.
Welch had the upper hand over Alton during the regular season, defeating him at a January dual in Evanston. But Alton ruined Welch’s season in the NCAA Championships.
“It’s a good rivalry,” Pariano said. “People in the crowd love watch-ing them wrestle. We’re definitely going to see (Alton) again.”
On Saturday, Alton again slith-ered passed Welch. Alton struck first, picking up a point in the sec-ond period on an escape. Welch returned with an escape of his own to start the third, setting up an exciting finish.
But Alton’s takedown with 40 seconds left in the bout gave him an insurmountable 3-1 lead. Welch would score a late escape but ulti-mately fall 3-2.
McMullan’s bout at heavyweight featured the last two third-place finishers at the NCAA Champi-onships. He faced Missouri’s Dom Bradley, who took an Olympic red-shirt last season.
Bradley also scored a 3-2 vic-tory. In the event’s last match, Bradley and McMullan dueled after a scoreless first period. Bradley struck first in the second period, scoring a takedown on McMullan to take a 2-0 lead. The two would trade points as the bout continued, but Bradley held on for the win.
Bradley could serve as a thorn in McMullan’s side in the future. McMullan, an All-American, enters the season as the fifth seed in his weight class. But Brad-ley, still strong on the collegiate level, will enter the year ranked second.
“All our mistakes are correct-able,” Pariano said. “One thing we took away was that we are in good shape. But the technical things must be worked on and that’s something we do throughout the season in wrestling.”
The Cats still have time to rebound from the exhibition event.
By RYAN MILLERthe daily northwestern
Northwestern received two confer-ence losses this weekend but used the quick turnaround between matches to x its problems, putting up a respect-able ght against a ranked opponent.
e Wildcats (15-10, 4-10 Big Ten) hosted Indiana (11-15, 3-11) and Pur-due (18-7, 9-5) this weekend and were swept by both Big Ten teams. How-ever, NU’s play and focus could not have been more di� erent between the matches; the team came out lacklus-ter against the Hoosiers but found its stride against the Boilermakers.
“(Friday) night was kind of a mess,” sophomore middle block Katie Dutch-man said. “But (against Purdue) we fought really hard; we had a lot of e� ort.”
Indiana came in with a much quicker start than NU, looking as if it had something to prove a� er losing the last meetup with the Cats.
e Hoosiers used serving to their advantage from the outset, getting to a quick 4-point lead and never looking back . Short serves to NU’s hitters threw the Cats out of rotation, which made it di� cult to make a play.
“We worked on it (in practice), and the girls were prepared for it. We just didn’t play very well,” coach Keylor Chan said.
e second set went no di� erently. Indiana’s short serve continued to cause problems for NU, and although
Dutchman and senior setter Madalyn Shalter were connecting well, the Cats couldn’t seem to put up enough of an o� ense to take down the Hoosiers. NU lost the second set 14-25.
NU started the third with a kill from Dutchman, which gave the Cats the rst point and their rst lead of
the night. The teams traded points through-out the set, eventually tak-ing the game to 23-23. Although the Cats had regained their focus, the points just did not go their way, and they lost the third and nal set 23-25.
Saturday night elicited a much different
response from NU. e Cats brought more focus and tighter play from the start, going blow for blow with the visitors.
However, two kills in a row from the Boilermakers’ setter highlighted the Cats’ weak tip defense. e Cats eventually adjusted to these tips, but a variety of Boilermaker attacks com-ing from all parts of the � oor proved troublesome for NU.
“ ey have multiple hitters coming
By JOHN PASCHALLthe daily northwestern
Senior Charlie Rimkus was ticked o� . e co-captain had been out-touched
by 0.09 seconds against Western Kentucky junior Heitor Rodrigues in the 200-meter butter� y because of a simple error.
“It was all on me,” Rimkus said. “To chop the stroke at the end was inexcusable.”
So when the 6-foot-3-inch senior got up on the blocks for the 500-meter freestyle with Western Ken-tucky leading Northwest-ern by 3 points, there was no way he could stand to lose again.
After the first 300 meters, Rim-kus was keep-ing pace with opponent Loui Little , who was in second place, a few sec-onds behind NU fresh-man Jordan
Wilimovsky . e race was at its grueling point. Rimkus had already swum 1,200 meters in the meet and had only had four events to recover from his last race.
But Rimkus had something to prove to himself and his team.
e last 200 meters saw him drop time in each of the next four laps. As the race wore on, Rimkus got stronger. Not only did he beat a fading Little, but he also
caught up to and beat Wilimovsky. NU nished the meet beating Western Ken-tucky 143.5 to 133.5 before the Wildcats routed University of Illinois-Chicago 197-83 the same day .
Rimkus said it was important to lead by example and show his team how to rebound a� er a bad swim.
“As captain, people will look to see what I do a� erwards,” Rimkus said. “It’s okay to be a little pissed o� a� erward. You have to get back up and brush it o� .”
Senior Alex Ratajczyk said he saw a tremendous di� erence in last week’s team compared to the team that swam this weekend.’
“We knew we had to change our atti-tude completely,” Ratajczyk said. “We could see right from the start in the meeting before the meet that we were so excited and pumped up. We focused on having fun and not as much about our times.”
e following day, the Cats welcomed No. 18 Purdue, which came to Evanston
o� a narrow loss to Notre Dame the night before .
e Boilermakers earned a decisive 172-126 victory . Still, NU coach Jarod Schroeder said he thought his group made a statement.
“We won a lot of events today,” Schroeder said. “(Purdue was) kind of surprised with how well we did. Diving saved them. Not having two of our swim-mers helped them out quite a bit. Our guys did a really, really good job with keeping their emotions high.”
e schedule does not get easier for the Cats as they travel to Wisconsin this week to take on the Badgers . Schroeder said he believes NU will be better pre-pared mentally heading into Madison for reasons outside of the pool.
“We are coming off midterms,” Schroeder said. “ ese guys have been mentally spent for the past week or two. It’ll be good to be removed from that.”
