Yo-Yo Ma comes to NU for festivalBy zACHARy ElVOVEthe daily northwestern
Acclaimed cellist Yo-Yo Ma, for-mer New York City Ballet principal dancer Damian Woetzel and “The Daily Show” correspondent John Hodgman spoke to Northwestern students and Evanston community members Sunday at Cahn Audito-rium as part of the Chicago Humani-ties Festival’s Northwestern Day.
Ma, a 16-time Grammy award winner and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient presented along-side Woetzel and the Chicago Sym-phony Orchestra following Hodg-man’s discussion. The event was hosted by the Chicago Humanities Festival, an organization that aims to promote the fine arts, according to the festival’s website.
Ma spoke with Woetzel about the relationship between citizenship and art, with Ma performing alongside the Chicago Symphony Orchestra as part of the presentation and Woetzel instructing the audience in dance moves to accompany the music.
Throughout their conversation, Ma and Woetzel spoke about their experiences with the arts and their beliefs about collaboration and civic engagement.
“There is a connection between the Constitution document that binds the country together and a musical composition,” Ma said. “The Constitution is about something big-ger than ourselves, and the scores are the same thing, and the more we understand it the more we can do for and with it ... Every generation has to reinterpret these notes to get more meaning.”
Weinberg and Bienen freshman
Arthur Shou said he was drawn to the event for the opportunity to see Ma in person.
“You saw how art relates to soci-ety, how it connects to a commu-nity, how it connects to the broader scope of things,” Shou said. “I feel like that’s something that’s not really talked about in the world of art. We talk about cutting arts from schools. People don’t know what to do with it. I thought it was really special to hear someone like Ma talk about what art means in the community.”
Ma repeatedly used analogies to explain his passion for the arts to the audience.
“Music is like hamburgers,” Ma said. “I have had a hamburger before but ... I still crave the next ham-burger. What is a hamburger? How will it be made today? Is it grilled? Are there tomatoes? I’m getting
hungry just talking about it.”Before Ma and Woetzel spoke,
Hodgman and playwright and NPR host Peter Sagal addressed the audi-ence. Hodgman, “The Daily Show’s” self-proclaimed “deranged million-aire” and the actor who played the PC in a series of Apple television ads, discussed his latest book and took questions from the audience.
Sagal and Hodgman spoke about pop culture and the impact technol-ogy has had on Hodgman’s career in a wide-ranging conversation that included Hodgman throwing his socks into the crowd. Hodgman also gave advice to attendees about how to be successful in the creative arts.
“The most important thing is to be honest,” Hodgman said.”Even if you are writing a book about fake facts.”
Evanston proposes budget for 2013
Mansion sale may block project
By RACHEl jAniKthe daily northwestern
Evanston is in the process of selling the Harley Clarke Man-sion, a move that could be bad news for Edible Evanston, a farm-ing nonprofit that recently won a grant to renovate and utilize a greenhouse on the property.
Last June, the Evanston Com-munity Foundation awarded almost $5,000 to Edible Evan-ston to help the group restore the greenhouse on the Harley Clarke Mansion property, 2603 Sheridan Road. Around the same time, the city began looking to sell the property, currently home to the Evanston Art Center, hoping that a private owner would be better able to fund much-needed repair and restoration. Edible Evanston co-chair Ken Kastman said that the group was not aware that the property up for sale included the greenhouse.
Kastman was hoping to get started with renovations as soon as possible so seeds could be planted for the first growing season. City officials told him he would have to wait, he said. Kastman said he knew about the “request for inter-est” the city had put out to poten-tial buyers and said he assumed the city wanted to avoid distrac-tions while selling the mansion property. Besides that, he wasn’t getting any information from the city, he said.
“We keep asking the question,” he said. “But as far as we know it’s just on hold (until) further notice.”
Unfortunately for Edible Evan-ston, the entire property, including the greenhouse, is up for sale.
Douglas Gaynor, the city’s director of Parks, Recre-ation and Com-munity Services, said the city now has a few potential buyers and has requested proposals regarding how these buyers might use the property. Edible Evanston’s project now hinges on whether or not these proposals include an allowance for the group to use the green-house, which is attached to two

Evanston City Manager Wally Bobkiewicz released the proposed budget for next year on Friday. City officials say the budget gap in 2013 will be the smallest in years, due to the city’s continued efforts to slash excess expenditures and make daily operations more efficient.
Funds total $248,034,384, with proposed revenues valued at $232,217,592. The proposed deficit is $15,816,792. The general fund, which accommodates day-to-day needs that don’t fit into special pur-pose funds such as parking, water and sewer services, is estimated to comprise $84,138,051 in revenues and $85,079,401 in expenditures, with a total deficit of $941,350.
Bobkiewicz has also recom-mended to the Evanston City Council the addition of five full- and part-time positions and the elimination of nine, six of which are currently vacant. In effect, the budget proposal suggests decreas-ing the city staff by five full-time positions, according to a city news release. Two of the three occupied positions to be slashed fall in the Community and Economic Devel-opment division, and one belongs to Administrative Services.
“Although the prevailing eco-nomic climate has shown some signs of improvement during the past year, the national economy remains an area of concern,” Bob-kiewicz said in the news release. “The performance of the national economy impacts the city in numerous ways including local employment, housing and eco-nomic development.”
Proposed budget expenditures decreased by $10,825,609 from fis-cal year 2012 to 2013. Assistant City Manager Martin Lyons described the proposed budget’s general fund deficit of $941,350 as the smallest gap in years at the second ward meeting Thursday night, accord-ing to Evanston Now.
The 2013 proposed budget incor-porated citizen input. Through the Engage Evanston initiative, an out-reach effort to encourage commu-nity discussion of the city’s budget-drafting process, residents were able to comment on budget priorities by mail, photo and a variety of social media websites. The city hosted a citizen budget input session and com-munity outreach event to gauge pub-lic opinion of the proposed budget.
Moody’s and Fitch rating agencies gave Evanston an AAA credit rating, but certain city funds continue to struggle with debt. The city’s sewer

Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts from the North Shore held their annual soapbox derby Sunday on Leonard Place between Ridge and Asbury avenues.
More than 200 kids signed up for the race, said Kofi Anaman, district executive of the Boy Scouts. Despite the rain, kids showed up along with their supporting parents and siblings.
“We’ve had this race for years,” said Chris Hersee, Boy Scout commissioner of the Potawatomi area.
The Potawatomi area includes Evanston and other North Shore communities.
The old-fashioned race has contestants build their own soapbox cars and race them down the slope in pairs. The race is broken into one-hour blocks, and all contestants must wear safety belts and helmets, Hersee said. Also in charge of the pit, Hersee checks all the soapbox cars to make sure they are safe enough so contestants do not collide into each other. All participants received a “Cubmo-bile” badge commemorating the yearly contest.
Jill Baker, a den leader for Cub Scout Pack 901 from Lincoln Elementary School, said Sunday was her first time participating in the derby.
“Our pack has a rule that you don’t get to race unless you help and participate in making it,” Baker said. “I think it’s really rewarding that they get to see themselves make (the race car), and they all seem
to be having a blast.”Pack 901 held workshops for the kids to work
on their cars. Some scouts helped build the car and others painted it, Baker said. The entire pack of 18 kids built two cars and took turns to race.
Mike Mulvihill, a Boy Scout den leader and father of five, participated for the third year.
Mulvihill brought his two youngest sons, 5 and 6
years old, to the race. However, all four of his boys worked together to build their car. They learned how to use drills and saws while working together with their father and brothers.
“They love it,” Mulvihill said. “It’s a great time for dads to bond with their kids.”

RCB brings ‘Hunger Games’ to NorthwesternBy mckenzie maxsonthe daily northwestern
Students from Northwestern’s residential colleges gathered Saturday night in Technological Institute to participate in NU’s own version of “The Hunger Games.”
Based on the popular series by Suzanne Collins, the event drew about 50 spectators and 30 tributes. Tributes were the volunteers from each residential college who wanted to participate in the event. The basic idea of the game was to find colored wrist-bands hidden around Tech that corresponded to the color assigned to a tribute’s residential college, said Medill junior Gabe Bergado, vice president of the Residential College Board.
Depending on the size of the residential college,
three or four tributes were selected, Bergado said. Tributes were notified earlier in the week that they would be involved but not of the specific rules of the game.
Bergado said he planned the event because he is “such a big ‘Hunger Games’ fan.”
While the tributes participated in the actual games, spectators watched a live stream through a Google Hangout projected onto a screen in a Tech classroom. Volunteers filmed what was happening in various parts of Tech as the games continued, sending the videos straight to the Google Hangout so that everyone could keep up with the quick flow of events. The winner of the competition was James Sun, a McCormick senior from Cultural and Com-munity Studies Residential College.
“The event was really well organized for being the first one,” Sun said. “I was surprised it had such
a good turnout.”Medill freshman Rachel Fobar said some tributes
came a few days before the competition to scope out Tech.
“My favorite part was watching the tributes try different techniques, like one guy hid and jumped out at other tributes,” Fobar said.
Communication freshman Theanne Liu, a tribute
from Communications Residential College, said the event was “definitely an experience.”
“It was interesting to see people team up and how we felt genuine fear through the ordeal as if we were in the real Hunger Games,” Liu said.
Aside from its entertainment factor, Bergado said the event showed the unity and spirit that is well known within the residential college system. However, a school-wide Hunger Games event might be hard to execute, he added.
“I think how the (residential college) system is set up is a good size and a larger Hunger Games would be harder to facilitate right now,” Bergado said. “But it would be really cool to see if other organizations implement a similar game into their own bonding.”
Students share stories from Obama-backed China program
By megan paulythe daily northwestern
Northwestern students who spent this summer in China shared highlights from their experiences Friday, ranging from their perceptions of Chinese culture to language barriers they encountered.
During a reception at Norris University Center, African and Asian Languages Prof. Li-Cheng Gu said he has been taking groups to study language and cul-ture at Peking University for the past 11 summers. Gu said he usually takes 50 to 60 students, but this year an additional nine students joined him in Beijing for a new program.
As part of President Barack Obama’s “100,000 Strong” initiative, the Wanxiang Fellows Program sent the students to China to study green technol-ogy and environmental sustainability. NU first got involved with the program in the spring.
“It’s such an important area,” Gu said before the reception. “The environment is not only China’s issue but the world’s issue. We should resolve this issue together. Politically it’s a great thing for students.”
Unlike the majority of those under Gu’s instruc-tion, this group departed to Hangzhou after a month in Beijing to complete a two-week intensive program at Wanxiang Polytechnic, exploring issues of energy technology and visiting power plants.
Gu said he flew with this group to Hangzhou to “help them settle down,” then returned to Beijing to “take care of the rest of the family.”
Communication junior Maddy Low was among the group of nine continuing to Hangzhou. Low has studied the Chinese language for six years, all under the instruction of Gu. Low was Gu’s student during
her four years at Glenbrook North High School in Northbrook, Ill. She went on to study with him at NU as well.
“I was lucky to have him,” Low said.She said her Chinese language proficiency defi-
nitely added to her overall experience.“I was more willing to go out and do things without
worrying about getting hopelessly lost,” she said.While in Beijing, the students chose between a
public health or an economics and politics track. Low chose the economics and politics track, with classes taught by an American expatriate.
“He was removed enough from America to not have a bias towards America,” Low said. “It was an interesting standpoint.”
Other students, including Weinberg senior Yousuf Ahmad and McCormick senior Ravi Patel, chose the public health track. Neither had experienced any lan-guage training prior to their summers in China.
“I set out to challenge my preconceived notions about Chinese culture,” Ahmad said. “I realized that
anywhere you go, people are going to be people. The Chinese people are very welcoming people.”
Patel responded similarly to his experience.“It was great to get out of my comfort zone,” Patel
said. “All of the small things like going for a hair cut ... it was hard because I had to show instead of tell.”
After having spent extensive time in China himself, University President Morton Schapiro said the new program makes him proud to be president.
“The marriage of environmental studies with Northwestern with China is just a dream come true,” Schapiro said. “China has always been in my blood and soul.”
The program was very well-received and will con-tinue next year, said Devora Grynspan, NU’s director of international program development.
“We hope to have an even higher response next year,” Grynspan said. “We have already started advertising.”

Letters to the Editor
If there’s anything I’ve realized as the coverage of the election has intensified in the last few weeks, it’s that my vote isn’t really going to do that much toward determining the presidency.
It’s a little fatalistic, I know, but it’s states like Florida, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Nevada, to name an integral few, that are going to decide this race. What nobody wants to admit is that while important, the popular vote really isn’t in any sense the deciding factor in the election. Right now, what we’re seeing is a mad dash to get over that electoral voting threshold needed for a vectoring. I’m making generalizations, I know, and I as an American value the abil-ity to vote deeply. I’ve also become a cynic at the ripe old age of 19, and I realize that in a country where only about 64 percent of Americans actually vote , we as a populace don’t have as big of a hand in choosing the president as we’d like to think.
If I vote in either California, my home state, or Illinois, my vote essentially won’t matter; both of those states are already, and unchangeably, blue. The election is decided
during the battle of the swing states, and I find the push and pull dynamics incredibly indicative of where the election is going.
That’s why I’m finding the Centennial State of particular interest. President Obama was the first Democratic presidential candi-date to win the majority of votes in Colorado since 1968. His win in 2008 was an incred-ible feat and proved his omnipotence as a candidate. That said, I doubt very much that Obama has the ability this time around to swing this historically conservative state. The proof is in the polls — two separate polls from ARG and Quinnipiac University/CBS News/New York Times report Romney lead-ing Obama 48 percent to 47 percent within a margin of error in Colorado. Granted, one point isn’t the end all, be all of swinging a state, and I won’t even comment on the irony that Obama is trailing at “47 percent,” but I don’t think Obama can pull it off again.
What Obama is so lacking is the oppor-tunistic feel of his 2008 campaign. The hope seems to have waned significantly. Under Obama, our deficit remains at $16 trillion . Four years ago, Obama ran on sparkling idealism alone, and it was enough to swing a miracle in Colorado.
Fast forward and Obama hasn’t lived up to his promises. I think Romney has Colo-rado in the bag, if only because of its past conservatism. This is a state that passed a referendum in 1992, which wasn’t ruled
unconstitutional until 1996, that prevented any city, town or county in the state from taking legislative, executive or judicial action to recognize gay and lesbian citizens as a protected class . People in Colorado actually voted for this disgusting piece of legislature. If that isn’t staunch conservatism, then I don’t know what is. To cut the whole state of Colorado a little bit of slack, that was only one conservative piece of legislation, and it occurred nearly two decades ago. But in politics, I am a firm believer that a leopard can’t really change its spots.
Romney has Colorado’s conservative past on his side, as well as the bang-up debate vic-tory nearly two weeks ago, conveniently set at the University of Denver. Romney’s sweep-ing decimation of Obama during the debates in one of the key swing states was much more than beautifully timed coincidence.
I can make these assertions on paper, but I have no idea if they will come true. Despite my one vote, there’s a lot of this election that is completely out of my hands and in the dis-tance of the political ether. Will Obama win Colorado? No, I don’t think so. Will he win the whole election? I have no idea, but I sure wish my vote had a little bit more to do with it.

Spinning studio knows how to spin lies
I had to scoff when I read the article. When Jason Bressler claimed that “he has not conducted classes outside the restricted hours of the Evanston noise ordinance,” I guess that he forgot to mention that Revolu-tion Spin received a ticket on Sept. 27, 2012, for operating before 7 a.m. I guess he forgot to mention that his own website on Sept. 27 was advertising a 6 a.m. class, as well as all through September. I guess he forgot to tell you that immediately after he received the ticket on Sept. 27 he took the website down and now it only shows classes beginning at 7 a.m. It seems as if Jason Bressler can spin a better tale than a stationary bicycle.

Long-term customer critiques Quartet Copies coverage
I had thought about responding to the first article on the problems with Quartet.
It seemed that would have been a more appropriately shortened “Letter to the Edi-tor” and didn’t really merit an entire col-umn. I don’t mean in any way to dismiss the concerns and inconveniences that students have been facing at Quartet. But the amount of new space devoted to this topic seems really excessive.
I think the same issues that students have been facing at Quartet can be found at almost any retail business. In Evanston, in Los Angeles, in Fargo — retail employees can sometimes be outstanding; sometimes they’re incredibly rude. This goes for copy
centers, restaurants, clothing stores, nail salons — the list can go on forever.
Obviously, students’ course copies are crucially important to them and more likely to raise voiced complaints than say, a rude server at Chipotle.
But I have been using Quartet for so many years that I can’t add them up, and I have to say that not one time have I ever been treated rudely, nor have I had to wait longer than expected for my work to be done. I’ve had employees come around from the back many times to help me use special features on machines that I don’t understand. As a former employee of NU, I’m obviously aware that I shouldn’t use Quartet during “peak” university times, and I know I have that luxury, where students do not.
But 1) Be fair. Quartet is on overload right now. They often receive material from professors in huge bulk, and as they’ve explained, having classes start on a different
day this year caused problems for them, too. Singling Quartet out in The Daily seems excessive — perhaps students meeting as a group with the manager might have accom-plished the same, if not better, results? 2) Recognize that if this is the worst thing that happens in your life this school year, life is treating you well. Keep this problem in perspective!
Lots of difficult things are going on around us all, every day. I say thank you to Quartet for doing the very best it can dur-ing a tough period and thank you for all the outstanding service I have always received there. Which is more than I can say for Chipotle.

Boutique opens with help from LENDBy IVAN YEHdaily senior staffer
When Evanston business owner Sara Jane Abbott held the September grand opening for her jewelry and accessories boutique Seejanesparkle , she invited the Northwestern students who helped make the event possible.
Abbott is one of several clients of Lending for Evanston and Northwestern Development , a student-run micro� nance organization, who have opened businesses with the group’s assistance. Since its launch three years ago, LEND has helped local entrepreneurs like Abbott create more than 25 local businesses. LEND held two informational sessions last week to recruit new members.
LEND specializes in two services: microlending and business training.
Most of the organization’s clients are “low-income, credit-constrained borrowers,” said LEND president Gaurav Kikani, and cannot receive loans from tradi-tional avenues, such as banks. A� er passing a lengthy decision-making process, LEND provides a short-term loan of up to $5,000 to local entrepreneurs.
In addition to providing funds, LEND o ers its clients a business training program that teaches the basics of running a business.
One of the main di erences between LEND and a bank is that the former is a “high-touch
organization” that aims to maintain constant com-munication with its clients, Kikani said.
Malik Turley, owner of Hip Circle Studio, 709 Washington Street, asked LEND for a loan in May to expand her � tness and parenting studio because she desired a more personal loaning experience than that which a bank could provide.
Since the expansion, Turley’s studio has grown to include 13 instructors and 25 members.
“New folks are coming in every day, and I can now o er more classes, such as yoga and hula-hooping, that I could not have done before,” she said.
Despite the fact that LEND’s goal is to help out local entrepreneurs, Kikani said the organization will turn down clients who are not ready to commit to running a business.
“We look for invested clients who need this to work out because their livelihoods depend on it,” Kikani said.
LEND determined that Abbott is one such client.
In February 2011, Abbott was laid o from her corporate designer position in the wake of a company acquisition and could not � nd a similar director-level position in Chicago. Abbott said that a� er more than 17 years in the design business, she did not want to go backward in her career and decided to focus entirely on her then-side job, Seejanesparkle.
Because Abbott was already running the
business, she asked LEND for only a small loan to cover start-up furniture and inventory costs that will increase the size of her operation.
“I was already selling a lot beforehand and did not need a whole revamp, so LEND was the perfect transition for me,” she said.
Weinberg junior Jang Kim, LEND’s director of internal memory, attributed the success of the pro-gram to the number of students involved.
“I think that LEND is an organization that is very sustainable,” Kim said. “Big organizations o� en lose momentum because not everyone gets to work; we are a small team and tasks get delegated to all members,” Kim said.
Despite LEND’s success, Kikani, a Weinberg junior, said the organization still has room for improvement. For instance, this year’s clients will take an eight-week training program that will allow them to subsequently focus on a few subjects they deem most important to the success of their business.
Even a� er the client pays o the loan, the part-nerships between LEND students and business owners continue. Abbott still keeps in touch with LEND, for instance, and is doing a trunk show at the sorority house of a student she worked with.
“LEND will always be here to address any needs,” Kikani said. “Our mission is to support local entrepreneurs.”

A&O Productions brought two stylistically distinct artists, rapper Nas and rock band Young the Giant, to Welsh-Ryan Arena on Friday for its annual Blowout concert.
A&O chairman Logan Koepke said he was pleased with attendance at the fourth annual show, though an official attendance count was not yet available. Ticket sales increased dramatically among freshmen, with 55 percent of the Class of 2016 buying the $10 tickets, A&O spokeswoman Shelly Tan said. A&O did not know how many concert tickets were sold as of Monday night.
“We were really happy with the freshmen ticket sales,” she said. “It’s great to start the year off in that manner.”
Andrew Griesemer, A&O marketing and media co-chair, said the increase in ticket sales among fresh-men may have resulted from University President Morton Schapiro’s Blowout announcement during Wildcat Welcome.
The concert kicked off with Young the Giant, who opened with “I Got.” Students in the gated area near the stage quickly scrambled forward following the opening chords, jumping over the chairs set up on the basketball court. The partially-filled bleachers shook with the bass of the speakers as well as the clapping and stomping of enthusiastic students.
“Cough Syrup,” the band’s hit song, drew screams and cheers from the crowd in the middle of the band’s set. While some students complained Young the Giant’s music is not dance-friendly, the band’s cover of R. Kelly’s “Ignition (Remix)” left few standing still. Young the Giant closed their 50-minute set with their recent hit, “My Body.”
“Young the Giant’s set list was weird,” said Medill freshman Jonathan Palmer. “I couldn’t believe they played ‘Cough Syrup’ in the middle.”
Although some students said they were not familiar with Young the Giant before Friday’s per-formance, Medill sophomore Dana Driskill said she
saw the Irvine, Calif.-based band for the first time this summer.
“I would do it all over again,” Driskill said. “I thought they were great.”
During the half-hour break before Nas’ set, senior forward Drew Crawford and other representatives from the NU basketball team presented Young the Giant with a commemorative basketball.
By the time Nas took the stage, students had started trickling out of the arena, and audience members continued to head for the exits throughout his performance.
“I thought it was really disrespectful that so many students were leaving during Nas,” said Medill fresh-man Antonio Jose Vielma, who has tickets to see the New York rapper perform again in several weeks.
Nas’ set featured throwback hits from his early albums (“The World Is Yours”) as well as his more recent work (“Hip Hop Is Dead”). He opened with “The Don.”
Even students who did not know Nas’ music were impressed with his stage presence, some thought Welsh-Ryan was not the right venue for him.
“The crowd was terrible,” said McCormick fresh-man Kareem Youssef. “I was discontented with the seating because I thought it really limited the crowd.”
Despite complaints about seating, many students were overall pleased with the event. Several freshmen said Friday’s Blowout would not be their last and are already looking forward to next year’s performance.
For A&O, the work didn’t end with Friday’s show. The student group posted its annual poll on its web-site following Blowout, while students were still talk-ing heavily about A&O, Griesemer said. The poll invites students to answer questions such as “Which concerts would you be willing to pay $10 to see?” and “Which of these films events would you want to attend?” A&O collects this feedback and uses it to plan for its upcoming events. About one quarter of undergraduate students responded to the poll last year, Griesemer added.

fund proposed issuing $4 million in general obli-gation debt in the next year, and Capital Projects will face approximately $5.9 million in new debt, according to the proposed budget report.
Other liabilities of concern for the city are the
police and firefighters pension funds, which remain less than 50 percent funded. The proposed 2013 contributions to these funds are $8,109,454 and $6,126,383 respectively, to create funded ratios of 45.6 percent and 45.3 percent. The 2013 state mini-mum contribution is $5,970,034 and $4,412,942 for police and fire pension funds, although Evan-ston’s proposed budget provides for an additional
$3.9 million. In addition to staff reductions, the city will also
make efforts to make daily operations more efficient. For example, the city’s Fire and Life Safety Services is currently building a partnership with the Skokie Fire Department to share its fire training facility. Utilizing the Skokie facility will allow Evanston to maintain standards of training personnel without
having to build and maintain a new training facil-ity, which is estimated to cost more than $871,000, according to the proposed budget.
City officials will review the proposed budget at the city council meeting Oct. 29 and will adopt it by Nov. 19.

At first glance, restaurant Koco Table appears to be an Asian-style Starbucks. There are small pastries and beverages available for people to grab on the go. Japanese blossoms line the wall, and K-pop music plays in the background.
The new restaurant at 720 1/2 Clark St. offers Korean comfort food to attract Evanston’s young adult population, shop owner Dong Suh said. A menu favorite, seafood ramen, was included to appeal specifically to college students, he said.
He added that the store also offers authentic Korean dishes. Suh said one of the main menu items many customers have enjoyed is donkatsu, or deep-fried pork cutlets. The restaurant also offers bibimbap, teriyaki chicken and tenkatsu.
“It’s a fresh Korean restaurant for Evanston to enjoy,” Suh said. “Some of the food here is a little different. We want Americans to try new Korean foods.”
Koco Table replaced J K Sweets, another Kore-an-style cafe. Despite the thematic similarities
between the two stores, Suh said he doesn’t know a lot about the last restaurant that inhabited his space. He said he assumed the store could not stay in business due to the weak state of the economy, but hoped to give the food service market a shot regardless.
Weinberg sophomore Pooja Avula said she thought one of the causes for J K Sweets’ lack of business was the plastic food in the window displays.
“It wasn’t appealing,” Avula said. “Plus the store was known for desserts, like ice cream, so I don’t know why they didn’t display that.”
She added that students seemed to be happy with Koco Table because many other new Evan-ston restaurants tend to stock generic American foods. She said it’s sometimes difficult to find diversity in Evanston because student demand typically sways toward restaurants they are famil-iar with, primarily national restaurant chains.
“It’s nice to have a unique option with real Korean food,” Avula said.
Koco Table waiter Isaac Lee said he thinks stu-dents find the restaurant welcoming and familiar despite the exotic cuisine. He said he enjoys being
able to serve younger people and give them the opportunity to try something different.
“It’s fun because I get to interact with more
people my age in this restaurant,” he said.

Evanston hosted for the first time Sunday a walk to raise awareness of world hunger.
Evanston Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl kicked off the North Shore Christian Rural Overseas Pro-gram Hunger Walk by welcoming the congrega-tion at the Second Baptist Church, which included members from 24 organizations in Evanston, Wil-mette, Skokie, Winnetka and Kenilworth.
This year, the walk took place in Evanston, after being hosted in Wilmette since 1991. The plan-ning committee decided to move the location because a majority of the agencies benefiting from the walk are based in Evanston.
“We hope that bringing the walk to Evanston will give it more exposure and publicity,” program
coordinator Helen Yarbrough said. “Also, we thought the route through Evanston would be more lively.”
Participants, including students from Evanston Township High School, headed out into a light drizzle to walk a three-mile loop along Sheridan Road and through downtown Evanston.
“We walk in solidarity with those who must walk to get water and medicine,” Yarbrough said.
Sunday school children from St. Augustine’s Episcopal Church in Wilmette had drawn a poster of a face with pepperoni eyes and bacon strips for a smile. A CROP walk organizer passed out red stickers shaped like stop signs that read, “Help CROP stop hunger.”
One walker, Ethelyn Bond, said she has par-ticipated in at least five CROP walks.
“I did it in high school, and I loved it,” said
Bond, who walked with the First United Method-ist Church in Evanston. “I walk not only to raise money for global hunger but also to support local programs.”
One quarter of the proceeds from the CROP walk will fund five local agencies, including the Hospitality Center of Interfaith Action, Soup at Six at Hemenway, the ARK in Rogers Park, A Just Harvest and the Tuesday Soup Kitchen at Second Baptist Church.
The remainder of the funds help to provide food, water and other resources for needy people around the world.
The Tuesday Soup Kitchen, a new beneficiary of this year’s CROP walk, is jointly managed by the Second Baptist Church and Temple Beth Israel in Evanston.
“The soup kitchen has a very small budget, so any money (available for it) will go to it,” said
Arlene Jackson, who has been working on the committee for eight years.
Jackson said she hopes the CROP walk, which raised $38,000 last year, will hit the $40,000 mark through donations this year. Although organizers have yet to total in-person donations to individual walkers and participating churches, online dona-tions total $11,645 so far.

Two Northwestern students were among the participants at a Saturday forum to help young Evanston women develop plans for their futures.
Medill senior Ryan Arrendell moderated the event, held at the Lorraine H. Morton Civic Center, 2100 Ridge Ave. Weinberg sophomore Darlene Reyes served on the panel, which dis-cussed advice for local teen girls on a variety of topics including growing up, attending college and staying healthy.
Other panelists at the Fleetwood-Jourdain Center’s inaugural Young Women’s Mentor-ing Luncheon included Chicago teacher Jes-sica Gorman, Evanston Police Department Det. Grace Carmichael, medical resident Dena Shibib and nonprofit worker Christine Newton.
Panelists discussed interpersonal relation-ships and the importance of self-respect. Gor-man and Shibib both told stories of unhealthy, one-sided friendships in high school and college.
“It was hard trying to find that voice that I felt that I didn’t have,” Gorman said. She said she was able to choose friends who cared about her after “growing up and becoming more confident.”
The panelists also answered questions from those in the audience, and several attendees
asked about balancing schoolwork and a social life, as well as the difficulty of deciding on and changing majors.
Reyes described her views on college as a current student and explained that she chose a school far from home to explore her options.
“I need to focus on me,” Reyes said. “I needed to discover who I was.”
Several Evanston Township High School students in attendance said they took pieces of the women’s advice with them as they left the luncheon.
ETHS senior Lau-ren Hammond said she learned from the speakers that failure has its benefits when it comes to “growing as a person and becoming a better person along the way.”
For ETHS freshman Arielle Pearce, the forum instilled val-ues of personal inde-pendence and goal-setting.
“You have to make college what you want it to be rather than going along with what everybody else does,”
she said.Kim Jenkins, Evanston’s assistant youth
and young adult program manager, said the idea for the luncheon was brought to her by Tim Rhoze, artistic director of the Fleetwood-Jourdain Center. She said they intentionally invited women in education, law enforcement and medicine in the hopes of finding further
inspiration and “another outlet” for the girls.She and the other organizers plan to make
the luncheon an annual event and to find pan-elists from different fields in the Chicago area each year.
Jenkins said the collaborations between NU and Evanston give the girls something to aim for. She also credited Reyes for putting
the program in touch with several NU stu-dents who served as additional mentors at the event.
“They have a lot of support and a lot of help here no matter what they want to do in their lives,” Jenkins said.

apartments.Ald. Jane Grover (7th) said she hadn’t known
about Edible Evanston’s plans for the greenhouse but added that the city is being very careful about selling the property.
“It’s a significant building, and we’re trying to find its highest and best use, and I don’t think the Art Center is that use,” Grover said. “I don’t even think the Art Center thinks that.”
She said she was concerned upon hear-ing about Edible Evanston’s grant for the greenhouse.
“We’d be interested in working with them on
this, because we don’t want to displace people, naturally,” she said.
In the meantime, Kastman and Edible Evan-ston are still waiting for the green light. The grant they received is only good for one year and will expire this coming June. If the property goes to a buyer who isn’t willing to offer the space to Edible Evanston, there is no other greenhouse
the group could use.“Obviously we don’t want to get in the city’s way,
but if there’s any way possible that we could still use the greenhouse, we’d love to do it,” Kastman said. “This initiative would be a really great opportunity to make good use of an underused space.”

Wildcats win ugly in MinnesotaBy JOSH WALFISHdaily senior staffer
MINNEAPOLIS — Saturday was just another example of Northwestern � nding a way to win a football game.
� e Wildcats failed to score a single point in the second half, but held on to beat Minnesota 21-13 to get to six wins and bowl eligibility. However, coach Pat Fitzgerald stressed that there is a lot more to play for this season than getting to a bowl: winning the Legends Division.
“I don’t think they have a clue that (we are bowl eligible) in that locker room,” Fitzgerald said. “� at’s not the goal on the board.”
NU started o� fast, forcing a fumble on the opening kick and converting the takeaway into 7 points on the next play. It was a sign of things to come for the Cats in the � rst 20 minutes of the game, when they outscored the Golden Gophers 21-10 .
Venric Mark was a key cog in the game plan for the Cats, who ran the ball 34 times in 51 plays . � e junior running back set a career-high with 182 yards, including 151 in the � rst half . His two scores gave the team some momentum, but there was someone else on his mind. Sophomore Treyvon Green le� the team � ursday to tend to a family emergency, and Mark said the running backs were inspired by their teammate.
“Treyvon is just an amazing guy,” Mark said. “He’s just a great guy to be around. We feed o� his energy during practice, we feed o� his energy during games.”
� e running game’s success did not lead to many triumphs for the aerial attack. NU was a measly 11 of 17 through the air for 67 yards . Junior Kain Colter completed all 10 of his passes , but sophomore Trevor Siemian struggled throughout game to � nd a rhythm and only completed one of his seven attempts .
� e passing game was particularly
bad on third down, where NU was 1 for 9 . Most of the issues on third down were dropped passes, including a cou-ple by Colter on the sidelines. It did not help that the Cats had 11 penalties for 93 yards , which set them up in long-distance situations.
“We’ve got to take advantage of some things,” Fitzgerald said. “� ey put nine guys in the box, and we’ve got to throw to guys that are open. We’ve got to be better than 1 for 10 on third and fourth down combined, and we’ve got to be able to throw the ball more e� ciently
and more e� ectively.”When the o� ense stalled in the sec-
ond half, the defense started to play much better. In the � rst stanza, the Cats gave up 211 yards in total, 148 on the ground. Most of that yardage came from Minnesota quarterback MarQueis Gray and running back Donnell Kirk-wood , who combined for 136 yards . Gray terrorized the NU defense for 77 yards on 6 carries.
“He’s big, so you’ve got to bring the pads when you tackle him,” senior defensive tackle Brian Arnfelt said. “Arm tackles aren’t going to work in the Big Ten.”
In the second half, NU locked Min-nesota down to 116 yards and a � eld goal. Fitzgerald said his defense was in position more in the � nal 30 minutes and did a better job tackling the ball
carrier. � e coach praised his defensive players for what he considered their best game of the season.
“Our defensive line played outstand-ing today,” Fitzgerald said. “� at was the best that group has played.”
NU’s defense also forced two turn-overs, an interception from Gray that the Cats turned into a touchdown and a fumble on Minnesota’s � nal drive that sealed the victory .
� is win may not have been the prettiest, but Arnfelt said every tri-umph in the conference is good for the Cats.
“I don’t think any victory’s ugly in the Big Ten,” Arnfelt said. “� ey’re all hard fought and both sides executed real well and obviously we got the win.”

Despite sloppy performance, NU becomes bowl eligible
NU stays undefeated in Big Ten playBy AVA WALLACEdaily senior staffer
� e defending Big Ten champions are doing well by their title so far this season.
Halfway through its conference sched-ule, Northwestern (9-2-2, 3-0-0 Big Ten) sits atop the Big Ten alongside No. 12 Indiana a� er Sunday’s 1-0 home win against Ohio State (5-8-1, 0-4-0).
“We’re a program with four Big Ten wins in the � rst 15 years of the Big Ten – and I was a part of that, so I appreciate every Big Ten win,” coach Tim Lena-han said. “We’re just trying to grind our way through a very big conference schedule.”
� e Cats are now undefeated in their last 11 conference matches. Sun-day’s matchup was also NU’s seventh straight regular season win against Ohio State.
Along with scorer sophomore mid-� elder Eric Weberman , Miller and the Cats’ defensive line once again stole the show at Lakeside Field.
Largely because of the sharp back� eld, Miller had only three saves for the game despite Ohio State’s eight total shots.
Miller again applauded his back line — junior Scott Lakin , senior Jarrett Baughman , sophomore Grant Wilson and sophomore Nikko Boxall — for its cohesive defense. Miller said Lakin and
Wilson also stepped up to play big roles in the team’s mid� eld when Ohio State’s Zach Mason shadowed junior mid� elder Lepe Seetane for most of the � rst half, e� ectively shutting down the usually touch-heavy mid� elder.
“It de� nitely helps having so much maturity in the back; we’ve really locked down who our back four is from last year. Everybody knows what everybody needs help on and we’re all there to back each other up,” Miller said. “Scott and Grant did a good job of going up the � anks and creating dangerous services.”
Weberman’s goal, his third for the sea-son, came 10 minutes before the end of the � rst half. � e sophomore launched a free kick o� of his le� foot from 45 yards out .
“We knew we had the wind so we just had to play a hard ball,” Weberman said. “It kind of dropped and got a lucky bounce.”
Weberman is one of the Cats’ nine di� erent goal-scorers this season , which lends an unpredictability to the team that Lenahan said is an advantage.
“� e bene� t is, you don’t really know who’s going to come up with the goal,”
he said. “We knew it was going to be that way losing Oliver (Kupe) – that we were going to be goal by committee coming in, and we talked about having ten dif-ferent players score goals before the year is up.”
� e second half of the game saw a fad-ing NU mid� eld as Ohio State increased pressure and ended the period with seven shots, compared to the Cats’ three.
Explaining the second-half lag, Lena-han said his team is still recovering from Tuesday’s Notre Dame match-up.
“Today, we grinded a little bit,” Lena-han said. “We were a little bit emotionally tired from the big win on Tuesday. You try to prevent it, but it’s the reality of life. You gotta get back and play again.”
Athletics to charge for gamesBy REBECCA FRIEDMANthe daily northwestern
� e Northwestern Athletic Depart-ment expanded the practice of charging admission to women’s soccer, � eld hockey and so� ball games for the 2012-2013 seasons.
Doug Me� ey, senior associate direc-tor of athletic communications, said the expansion is “more in line with what peer institutions across the Big Ten are doing.” Across the conference, it is not uncommon for schools to charge everyone admission, including students.
� e change in policy will not a� ect students who bring WildCARDs to gain admission. Otherwise, the charge is $7 for the general public, $4 for high school students and $3 for individuals in groups of 15 or more.
“We don’t have a number on revenue,” Me� ey said. “We’re not doing it to make a ton of money.”
Rather, the charge was intended to put all the programs on the same playing � eld, he said.
NU’s � eld hockey team currently ranks in the top ten, having won 14 of 16 games. With a late season run, the so� ball team quali� ed for the NCAA tournament. � e women’s soccer program hired esteemed coach Michael Moynihan last o� season a� er he served 19 seasons at the helm of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Me� ey hopes the new policy will bet-ter demonstrate the quality of NU’s ath-letic teams.
“It puts a nice value on student ath-letes,” Me� ey said. “It’s an entertainment that we provide in games. You get charged to go to a high school or junior high game. � ese are Division I Big Ten events.”
Nicole Catalano and Lauren Griswald, high school � eld hockey players who traveled from Wisconsin to see Sun-day’s � eld hockey game against Central Michigan, weren’t surprised by the $4 admission charge they paid to watch the match.
“It’s much less than our high school football games,” Catalano said.
Perry Nigro , a School of Continu-ing Studies student also attending Sunday’s � eld hockey game, got in free with his WildCARD but paid $7 for his friend Megan McCune to be granted admission.
“I was surprised at the � rst game I came to that they were charging,” Nigro said. “I understand they are trying to raise revenue however they can, so I’m not opposed to it. Seven dollars might be a little steep, but I don’t really have a strong objection to it.”
McCune agreed that paying the $7 was worth it and wouldn’t discourage her from attending games.
“It potentially lends some credibility to sports,” she said. “It’s a little more on even footing with the bigger sports.”
But Me� ey explained the di� culty of charging for sports held o� campus. He said some of these sports are “not condu-cive to being massive spectator sports.” � e only NU sports that do not charge admission now are men’s and women’s tennis, cross country, fencing, so� ball, men’s and women’s swimming and div-ing and men’s and women’s golf.
So far, the athletic department has not noted a di� erence in attendance due to the new charge.
Me� ey believes that there will be “more personal attention” to each sport, explaining that now every team has its own marketing representative.
“Every sport has been designated a marketing contact,” he said. “� ey reach out to club teams, people that come to camps and market to them. � ey’ve done a great job of bringing folks to games.”
