Josie Nordman transplant fund passes $50K
Media summit talks storytelling Netsch memorial recalls humor, wit
By ALLY MUTNICK!"#$% &'(#)* &+",,'* @allymutnick
A-er almost three months of fund-raising, Communication sophomore Josie Nordman’s lung transplant fund has reached about ./0,000. Northwestern stu-dents added their latest donation Sunday with a /K run at the Lake1ll.
2e NU community has rallied behind Nordman, who su3ers from cystic 1brosis. Her worsening condition le- her with just 45 percent lung function as she waits for transplant lungs to become available. Nor-dman and her family will have to pay up to .6/,000 of the .6/0,000 procedure.
“I’ve lost track of everything going on at this point,” said Nicolle Nordman, Josie’s mother. “It continues to amaze me. De1-nitely the bulk of everything raised at this point has come from Northwestern.”
About 60 people ran in the /K, which raised about .7/0. Josie Nordman and her mother came out for the event, which was sponsored by the Phi Delta 2eta frater-nity Delta Gamma women’s fraternity.
2e fund is only .8/,000 away from covering the family’s maximum cost of Josie Nordman’s life-saving double lung transplant, which she said could happen at any time. Nordman was moved up the transplant list last month, and her mother said that Josie will likely receive the next available lungs that match her height and
blood type.2ough her condition is declining,
Josie Nordman is still in Evanston and not at home in Homewood, Ill., which is about an hour away. She takes classes two days a week, produces a play set to open in late May and remains active in Chi Omega sorority. A member of the NU Eques-
trian Team, Josie Nordman recently rode her horse Loki for the 1rst time in months — he carried her oxygen on his saddle.
But walking and breathing are still di9cult, and she has to wear oxygen full time.
“I’m beyond ready for this to be done,” Josie Nordman said. “2e call could
come at anytime.”2e procedure typically requires about
three months of home recovery. Remain-ing healthy in the 1rst year is crucial. 2e transplant will only cure Josie Nordman’s lungs, but she said it will allow her to return to performing, singing and rid-ing. She hopes to be back on her horse
six months a-er surgery.More than 70 student groups have
planned fundraisers during Winter and Spring quarters. Her Indiegogo online fundraising account has .:7,7;<, and addi-tional donations are in the Josie Nordman
Lung Transplant Fund. Nicolle Nordman said NU support has not dwindled since students 1rst heard of her daughter’s trans-plant in January.
“It’s very important that these events keep happening,” said Corey Moss, a
friend of Josie Nordman who planned the /K. “Enough is never really enough.”

Two wunderkinds of the media industry on Saturday o3ered an opti-mistic outlook for journalism’s future and where Medill students 1t into that puzzle.
“It’s scary, it’s uncertain, you may not make the money you want to make right o3 the bat,” said Dan Fletcher (Medill ‘0;), former Facebook man-aging editor. “But in terms of oppor-
tunity for things for you to do and the ways for you to implement your ideas — I really do mean this — I doubt there’s a bet-ter time.”
Fletcher and Brian Stelter, a media reporter for The New
York Times, book-ended the 1rst day of Media Rewired, the inaugural conference on online journalism orga-nized by the Medill Undergraduate Student Advisory Council. 2e self-billed “digital storytelling summit” featured seven workshops in addition to the two speakers Saturday and a showcase of Adobe’s latest so-ware for Web developers Sunday.
More than :00 tickets were reserved for the weekend’s events, and dozens of Medill students and faculty mem-bers 1lled the McCormick Tribune
Center Forum for Stelter’s and Fletch-er’s speeches.
MUSAC executive co-chair Kim-berly Lee said the organization came up with the idea for the conference because it was “concerned about media’s changing landscape” and wanted to present some viewpoints that may not surface in a traditional classroom setting.
Stelter, who joined 2e Times in 8006 a-er editing a must-read blog for television news insiders, described the current state of journalism as a “choose-your-own-adventure model” in which aspiring reporters have more outlets than ever.
“2e goal nowadays isn’t neces-sarily to get to 2e New York Times,” Stelter said. “2e goal should be to get an audience some way, somehow.”
A-er his talk, Stelter told 2e Daily journalism schools like Medill still matter, even as more reporters seek less conventional methods of promot-ing their content and themselves.
“People say it’s irrelevant, but I
don’t think it is,” Stelter said. “I think journalism school can be and maybe should be a four-year laboratory for the skills of journalism and for the future services and products of journalism — to come up with those products, to come up with those per-sonal, professional brands.”
Fletcher was also vocal about more entrepreneurship among young journalists, attributing his high-profile stints spearheading social media policy at Time magazine and Bloomberg News to being “pretty good at sticking my hand up and try-ing new things.” He le- Facebook this month to work on his own projects, a move he described as re=ective of the media industry’s rapid pace of development.
“2e Internet is changing every-thing journalism is, and we need to react to it,” Fletcher said.

CHICAGO — Illinois’ luminaries on Saturday remembered Northwestern Law Prof. Dawn Clark Netsch (Weinberg ‘:<, Law ‘/8) as a brilliant pioneer who broke almost every glass ceiling in state politics.
“She was always the smartest person in the room … and a person of absolute, unshakeable integrity,” U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said during a funeral ser-vice at the School of Law’s 2orne Audi-torium in Chicago.
Netsch was the 1rst woman to hold statewide o9ce in Illinois as the state comptroller, the state’s first female
candidate for governor from a major political party and the 1rst female fac-ulty member of Northwestern’s School of Law. When she graduated at the top of law school’s class of 4;/8, she was its only female student.
Netsch passed away March / a-er bat-tling with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. She was <5.
More than 500 people nodded along as eight speakers recalled Netsch’s quirks, snappy comebacks and trademark stubbornness.
“It was that great outsized passion that she shared with all of us and that gives us that standard of what we can do, what we can accomplish,” Illinois Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon said.
Illinois Senate President John Cullerton (D-Chicago) read a letter from someone he said “couldn’t be here but wanted to be” — President Barack Obama.
“Dawn refused to accept gender as an obstacle to success,” Cullerton read from Obama’s letter. “Breaking barrier a-er bar-rier in law, academia and public service, she became an extraordinary trailblazer for women and girls.”
Political prowess aside, many speakers also praised Netsch for her self-deprecating humor and recreational passions, includ-ing the Chicago White Sox, liverwurst and champagne. 2e funeral honored Netsch’s love of Chicago’s arts scene with a musical interlude performed by the Lyric Opera of Chicago, which she attended regularly with her husbands of :/ years, architect Walter Netsch.
Even as Netsch’s heath declined, her family said she couldn’t be stopped from answering the phone or door. Andrew

Lifestyle company opens city locationBy EDWARD COX!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+) @EdwardCox./
With its 0agship store formally opening 1urs-day in downtown Evanston, lifestyle company Solay Wellness Inc. is preparing to turn its business into a franchise.
1e family-owned store, which sells organic prod-ucts such as natural dog shampoo, is moving beyond its online-based market by franchising the business and expanding its product line, founder and CEO Isabella Samovsky said.
“It’s a really nice way to work with other like-minded businesses … who are very passionate about this product,” Samovsky said.
1e opening of the wellness store comes as the city tries to attract more local retail businesses, as opposed to the slew of restaurants that commonly come to Evanston. 1e city gained four retail busi-nesses from October to March, according to data from the city’s fourth economic quarter report. In addition to the Evanston location at ./.2 Sherman Ave., Samovksy has a store in Skokie with a salt therapy spa and yoga room.
Samovsky moved into the lifestyle business when she was 34 years old and sold clothing made out of hemp 5ber. She became a yoga instructor and experimented with salt therapy as a way of healthy living. At her Evanston store, so6 classical music
plays from her laptop and a meditating Buddha statue greets customers.
“As I evolved my own understanding of living healthily, I incorporated it to my entrepreneurial side,” Samovksy said.
The business coordinates with a group of
practitioners, including acupuncturists and chiro-practors, to provide wellness services on the build-ing’s second 0oor.
“It’s just all about holistically creating an environ-ment for a person inside and outside that is toxic free,” employee Mallory Hobdy said. “It all starts with the Himalayan salt.”
One of the shop’s signature products, the Himala-yan Salt lamps are handcra6ed into pyramids, globes and Hershey’s-Kiss-like domes that Samovsky said neutralize radiation. Prices listed on the company’s website for salt lamps range from 738 for a one-pound “computer companion” lamp to 7.94 for a 3:- to 2:-pound lamp.
Samovsky said the store attracts customers of all ages, some with health issues ranging from sleeping disorders and skin rashes to cancer.
Many of her customers in the Skokie store are established in organic product know-how, but in Evanston, the Solay products are new to most resi-dents, Samovsky said.
In addition to potentially expanding business locations, the company is redesigning its website, which will be completed in about two weeks, Sam-ovsky said. Once the company becomes a franchise in about two months, a new owner will manage the store’s downtown Evanston location, she said.
“In a little community like Evanston … it’s very personal, very one-on-one,” she said.

Police BlotterCar window damaged after alleged gang dispute
Two alleged gang members damaged an Evanston man’s car during a dispute on the south end last week, police said.
The men yelled at two other Evanston resi-dents during an argument occurring in the .444 block of Cleveland Street.
After a brief back-and-forth, the alleged gang members broke the rear window of a .;;3 Buick belonging to one of the two other
residents and fled.Parrott said the incident is related to an
ongoing conflict between two gangs that also resulted in a spike in gang graffiti in February.
“There are no victims of physical violence (in these incidents),” he said. “But we have increased patrol with the gang narcotics squad.”
Laptop stolen from cleanersA laptop was stolen from 84< Cleaners last
week, Parrott said.The owner of the business at 84< Main St.
said an attempt to access the cash register was recorded around ..:24 p.m., Parrott said. Nothing else was disturbed.
The burglar entered through the back door, which had been locked earlier, Parrott said.

Sami, Kottenstette, Flagler run for VP positionsBy JEANNE KUANG!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+) @jeannekuang
Sofia Sami, running for academic vice presidentAssociated Student Government academic vice
presidential candidate So.a Sami views all her classes with a critical eye.
/e Weinberg junior, who is running unop-posed, stresses a curriculum focused on involvement, whether it be through capstone experiences that give students chances to apply classroom skills in the world or the integration of student group involvement with the academic sphere.
In the past year, Sami was an ASG coalition sena-tor for student groups and is a current member of the diversity and inclusion committee, the academic committee and the student activities and .nance committee.
It was through these experiences that Sami realized the passion of her fellow students, she said.
“/ere are very few students that you’ll .nd that are very passionate about their classes, per se,” she said. “But you’ll .nd them very passionate about almost everything else they do. Why is there such a huge divide between these two parts of our lives as students?”
Sami dislikes using the term “extracurricular” to describe student activities and student groups. Instead, she hopes to encourage a curriculum that allows aca-demics and application to intersect.
Although Sami said she wishes she could experi-ence a contested race, running unopposed has allowed her to have productive meetings in the past week.
“I’m not really campaigning so much as I am get-ting very literal and visceral feedback from students about what they want me to work on if I’m elected,” she said.
Anna Kottenstette, running for student life vice president
Communication junior and Daily sta0er Anna Kottenstette, an ASG student life vice presidential
candidate, does not hesitate to share her unusual experience as a Northwestern student.
“I came here as a freshman biological sciences major, really gung-ho,” she said. “I honestly just didn’t know what to expect. I was really overwhelmed. I involved myself in too much stu0 too fast.”
Kottenstette le1 NU to spend a semester at the University of Iowa. She said she returned to NU her sophomore year with renewed vigor, experimenting with her major and joining groups on campus. She became involved with ASG that year when she applied to be on Alex Van Atta’s student life committee.
She currently serves on that committee, as well as the athletic advisory and university parking advisory committees.
Kottenstette is running on a platform of “collabora-tion, facilitation and integration” based on increased e0orts on ASG’s part to work with student groups, to reach out to students to hear their concerns and to combine their ideas with administrators’ resources.
She brings to her campaign an emphasis on student wellness and safety, including an idea for a “Wildcat Wellness Day.”
“We can highlight the resources that Northwestern has in terms of safety, in terms of mental health, in terms of just physical health,” she said.
She also wants to make campus resources more readily available, suggesting a wellness center or relax-ation room in Norris University Center for students who are stressed.
Speaking about her campaign so far, Kottenstette said she has enjoyed meeting with students and groups to .nd out their interests.
“I’ve been able to talk to a lot of people, and in the coming week I’ll be talking to more people ... just making sure I have a good idea of what students want,” she said.
Harrison Flagler, running for student life vice president
Bienen freshman Harrison Flagler believes that when running for ASG student life vice president, he makes up for his young age with concrete results.
Flagler, a senator for North Mid-Quads Hall and South Mid-Quads Hall, was head of a committee this year that toured all the dorms on campus to look for
potential improvements. He was also heavily involved in the resolution calling for University transparency in the disa2liation of Chabad House.
Flagler is unfazed that he is a freshman run-ning against a junior for a top position — in fact, he embraces it.
“It’s important as a freshman to bring this sort of idealism that ASG needs to be .xed,” he said. “It needs bold change. It needs a fresh mind.”
Flagler said he is dedicated to making ASG an organization that serves student interests. His cam-paign team is composed almost entirely of students who are uninvolved with student government, he said, and he considers himself an outsider voice uninter-ested in a “top-down model.”
“What we bring to this table is this sort of prag-matic view of knowing we’re students. We’re not within ASG,” he said. “Maybe if an idea were pre-sented to ASG and ASG said, ‘We can’t do this because of administration and such and such,’ I’m with a group of people who says, ‘Why not?’”

NU grad elected Des Plaines’ youngest mayor everBy OLIVER ORTEGA!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+) @Olly./01
A2er beating two seasoned politicians to become Des Plaines’ youngest mayor ever, Northwestern alumnus Matt Bogusz (Weinberg ‘/3) has perhaps a greater test before him: wedding planning .
4e .5-year-old was elected mayor of the north-west Chicago suburb last week, capitalizing on a successful term as alderman during which he helped the city rebound from a 6nancial crisis. Now that his campaign is over, Bogusz and his 6ancee, Kate Pascale (Communication ‘/7), are focusing on tying the knot at NU’s Sheil Catholic Center in August.
“It’s been fun,” Pascale said. “We worked on the campaign as a team to make sure he wasn’t overbur-dened and I could still get some time with him for wedding planning.”
Bogusz was born and raised in Des Plaines, a city of about 5/,/// a half hour west of Evanston. In addition to his political extracurriculars, Bogusz works in advertising, a job he will keep while serv-ing as mayor.
At NU, Bogusz majored in political science and international studies in addition to participating in Associated Student Government, where he served as an Interfraternity Council senator and executive vice president. It was there that he met Pascale, a Panhellenic Association senator. 4ey began dating soon a2erward and got engaged last year.
Even while pursuing his studies at Northwest-ern, Bogusz stayed involved with his hometown by
serving on the city’s special events commission and public library board. It was his commitment to Des Plaines that motivated him to graduate two quarters early from NU to run for alderman of the city’s 8rd Ward in .//3.
“4e previous alder-woman had reached her term limit and peo-ple started wondering who was going to run,” Bogusz said. “I enjoy my community and that’s my motivation, so I just decided to give it a go.”
Friends and fel-low members of NU’s Evans Scholars frater-nity helped him run his aldermanic campaign. They drove to Des Plaines to hand out 9i-ers and knock on doors to urge residents to vote for Bogusz. His stump
campaigning paid o:: He won the election with ;8 percent of the vote and became an alderman at the age of ...
“It would just be vans full of Evans Scholars and other friends from campus,” Bogusz said. “We out-worked everybody and won handedly.”
Bogusz has served as chairman of the Des Plaines City Council’s 6nance committee for the past two years and points to an array of accomplishments dur-ing his tenure, including balancing the city’s budget,
avoiding an increase in property taxes and opening the 6rst local casino. In addition to his superb track record, Bogusz boasted an energetic group of cam-paign volunteers that included fellow NU alumni and a formidable social media strategy in his suc-cessful run for mayor.
“Voters are smart and remember what’s been done in the past,” he said. “People are trying to understand how we won by such a large margin, but voters are smart.”
Bogusz won decisively with about << percent of the vote, besting ;<-year-old former mayor Tony Arredia’s 8. percent and fellow alderman Mark Wal-sten’s 08 percent.
To the naysayers who question his youth and ability to connect with the city’s senior popula-tion, Bogusz responds that he hopes to be a senior citizen one day and has a lot in common with that community.
“We all want to make sure Des Plaines is healthy, 6nancially sound and attractive to new businesses,” he said.
Bogusz won’t be the only Wildcat in city hall when he takes o=ce in May. Joanna Sojka (Weinberg ’/;, SESP ’0/) was elected alderman of Des Plaines’ ;th Ward in the same election.
Despite his success in the political arena, Bogusz said he never planned on becoming mayor and doesn’t see himself pursuing a political career beyond his hometown’s top elected o=ce.
For now, his next long-term goal is marriage, he said.

Sequester hits scienti!c research at universities across country
WASHINGTON — Marian Alicea, an engi-neering student who is slated to graduate from college this spring, needs a doctorate degree to achieve her lo2y career goal of becoming a White House environmental adviser with scienti6c
expertise. But the budget battle in Washington is complicating her plans for getting there.
In normal times Alicea, who attends South-ern Polytechnic State University in Marietta, Ga., would likely be a shoo-in for a full research sti-pend. She is an honors student who has snagged several prestigious internships. And as a Latina she belongs to a minority group that is under-represented among engineers.
But because of the sequester - the automatic federal budget cuts that went into e:ect March
0 - some of the schools that want Alicea can’t o:er her the 6nancial aid she needs.

Evanston Public Library kicked o- its annual celebration of National Library Week with a magic performance and a puppet show Saturday.
Libraries around the country will observe National Library Week this week, which is pro-moted by the American Library Association to show the roles libraries play in community life. .e week includes National Library Workers Day on Tuesday, National Bookmobile Day on Wednesday and Celebrate Teen Literature Day on .ursday.
“Service to the community has always been the focus of the library,” EPL director Karen Danczak Lyons said in a news release. “Here in Evanston
we will continue to grow and evolve in how we provide for the needs of every member of the Evanston community.”
More than /0 people attended Greg Whalen’s magic show at the library’s Chicago/Main branch, which included simple tricks that wowed an audi-ence of children and adults, branch manager Con-nie Heneghan said.
Local puppeteer Marilyn Price performed an interactive puppet show at the library’s north branch. .e Evanston Public Library Friends, an independent organization aiming to strengthen library outreach and programming, sponsored both events.
Heneghan said the events were well-at-tended and a good way to start the week-long celebration.

EPL celebrates National Library Week CTA adds new screens to Evanston stops
The Chicago Transit Authority has installed new digital screens on Evanston’s Purple Line stations as part of a larger ini-tiative to update train-tracking devices.
Work to install the new generation of digital screens was completed at Davis, Foster, Noyes and Central stations April 6, CTA spokeswoman Catherine Hosinski said. The new screens display countdown times to the next train, current time and weather without sound.
The project, which started last fall, will place at least one screen at each of the 456 CTA stations by May 4, Hosinski said.
“The goal is to equip each station so we have a consistent network of screens,” she said. “It’s more convenient for commuters.”
The new generation of screens will not replace the other types, Hosinski said.

As a transfer sophomore, I was not around Northwestern at this time last year, so this is my ! rst experience with the Associated Student Government campaign season. So for all I know, maybe all of the excitement and all of the promises of the various campaigns are empty and pop up once a year only to fade once the candidates are actually elected. But in looking at the various tick-ets and their platforms, and the incredible student response they’ve attracted, I really don’t believe this pessimistic view to be the case. Rather, I am very encouraged by the energy surrounding the ASG candidates and their engagement with students, and I am hopeful that many of their great ideas have a shot at being turned into actual policy.
Although social media activism is hardly the de! nitive example of genuine social change (I’m looking at you, Kony "#$"), one need only to log on to Facebook for a second to see the remarkable presence of the ASG election in students’ lives. From pro! le pictures to cover photos to statuses
and page “likes,” the NU students who have yet to make some sort of opinion on the race known are few and far between. Granted, it doesn’t exactly take a ton of e% ort to switch a cover photo, but, like the recent nationwide show of support for same-sex marriage with the Human Rights Campaign pro! le picture, all of the public displays of engage-ment still indicate an admirable passion for the process.
& e visible interest of the student body in the election is even more impressive when one con-siders that the election is to lead ASG. Student government, a' er all, isn’t exactly the sexiest sub-ject, and many students have complained over the years that the organization is somewhat insulated from the needs and opinions of the students. Yet despite all of this, the student body has not turned apathetic or given up on ASG’s potential to genu-inely improve the NU experience, but is instead committed to supporting candidates who have the potential to make a di% erence. In looking at the student testimonials on candidates’ websites, it is clear that the endorsements of the students go beyond doing favors for friends. People are genu-inely interested in this election and in improving student life, and that alone is encouraging for our school.
Even more encouraging is the fact that the four
tickets for president and vice president are propos-ing some innovative and impressive solutions to a wide range of problems and have actively engaged the student body in coming up with these solu-tions. David Harris and Jo Lee, for example, have put out ($ speci! c proposals in $# di% erent areas of focus, a wide-reaching agenda that is full of practi-cal ideas on subjects from meal plans (allowing the quarterly rollover of points) to mental health (hiring three additional psychologists to decrease waiting time for help).
Candidates Ani Ajith and Alex Van Atta, mean-while, come to the race with an incredible array of experience that proves their intense dedication to improving the quality of student life. From bring-ing a range of diverse student groups together for Deering Days to delivering therapy dogs to the Norris University Center during ! nals week last quarter, their track record of engaging with stu-dents and working in student government is very impressive and would allow them to e% ectively deliver reform to ASG.
As for the tickets of Benison Choi and Danny Kim and Aaron Zelikovich and Henry Brooke, both possess a passion for bringing the wider student community into the ASG fold. Choi and Kim, for instance, want to make sure that students are engaged and made aware of how they can
get involved with student government and seek to promote tools like the Campus Voice online idea venue to make this a reality. Zelikovich and Brooke, meanwhile, have made student input the cornerstone of their campaign, creating a forum for ideas on their website and making it clear that their aim is to serve students ! rst.
& e point of this examination of the di% erent tickets’ strengths is not to make an endorsement. Rather, I wish to highlight the incredibly deep bench of talent that we have to choose from in this race.
All of these tickets are smart, experienced and care deeply about the student body. For a student government race to possess this many competent candidates is rare, and a testament to the NU com-munity. From these impressive candidates to the excitement that they have spurred among a wide range of students, I am le' very optimistic about the future of ASG and NU student life, and I’m glad to be part of a campus culture that cares this deeply about these issues.

Energy, ideas of ASG elections are encouraging
Northwestern Confessions: I have webbed toes, foot phobia
All right, I exaggerated, only two of my toes (the second and third counting from the big one) are webbed, on both feet. It runs in the family. When I was a kid, it made me feel so weird that I never went barefoot and gradually developed a perverse fear of being around bare feet. My friends got a kick out of setting my computer backgrounds to pictures of feet and watching me go into conniptions. Yes, since you all must be wondering, I did in fact eventually get over it — at age $) — but I’d still rather you keep your socks on.
& at’s my dirty little secret, and however strange, stupid or silly, admitting it feels good.
Undoubtedly, many of you have seen Northwest-ern Confessions on Facebook, now with about $,"## followers. For those of you who haven’t, the idea is simple: People submit anonymous entries, the juici-est of which — by the standards of the unknown page admins — are then posted to the page for everyone to read. I am an avid reader myself and may or may not be the author of several posts. I highly recommend you check it out.
& ough this is the ! rst time I’ve participated in anything like it, the idea is hardly original; likes and comments on Confessions pages light up my Facebook feed from universities all over the country — high schools, too — and before all that was Post-Secret. It’s easy to not take it seriously and just read for entertainment, but in between the people who take more than one piece of fruit from the dining hall, still don’t know where & e Keg is (I have only a vague idea myself) and have had sex in every place imaginable, you’ll ! nd a lot of things that might be less easy to stomach.
Don’t skip over them. & ey’re the important ones.& e number of people I know who think they’re
perverts and freaks, the number of people who feel
like nobody understands them even though they have lots of “friends,” the number of girls who have or have had eating disorders, the number of guys who have psychological problems and still keep a sti% upper lip — those are all higher than what most of us would suspect, especially those su% er-ing through them. And I’m sure there are many people outside the stereotypes who are staying even quieter than the others. I never told people about my foot phobia until I was $*, and if telling people why you’re afraid of feet is hard, it doesn’t take much to imagine what telling somebody you’re bulimic is like, especially when, as I’ve read far too many times than I’d like, you’ve grown apart from your friends, feel like you don’t ! t in and Counseling and Psycho-logical Services totally sucks.
Northwestern Confessions may only be a Face-book page, but it’s given me a glimmer of hope. Alongside someone who feels like a freak for watch-ing pornography, there’s someone who feels like a freak for having never been kissed. Alongside someone who feels alone in their dorm room every Friday, there’s someone who feels alone surrounded by people at a huge party. Alongside someone who tried to commit suicide, there’s someone with a parent dying from cancer. It’s easier to not feel like a freak if everyone else does, too. It’s easier to be alone when we’re not alone in being alone. And most importantly, it’s easier to cry if you can laugh at the same time.
Northwestern Confessions lets us scream and shout (and let it all out) but at the same time keep our identities hidden until we’re ready to make them known. So, here’s my challenge to you: Once you ! nish reading this, give somebody one of your dirty little secrets, even if it isn’t that little, and then ask them to give one to you.
I only eat with a salad fork. What’s yours?

In this year’s Associated Student Govern-ment elections, increasing ASG’s transparency, reforming the alcohol policy, revamping men-tal health resources and improving campus safety are at the forefront of campus-wide conversations. In order to make measur-able strides in these areas while maintaining e+ ciency and communication among ASG’s members, the next president and executive vice president must have established relation-ships with Northwestern administrators and city o+ cials, as well a deep understanding of the inner workings of student government. Ani Ajith and Alex Van Atta have the greatest advantage in all these areas and are therefore the best candidates for ASG’s next president and executive vice president.
Although the decision was a close one, & e Daily believes the combined experience of Ajith and Van Atta sets them apart from the other tickets. Ajith, a former Daily sta% er, served as speaker of the Senate for the past year, and he therefore is knowledgeable about how to make the weekly meetings run more e+ ciently. As speaker, he also knows Senate procedure and will have few obstacles to over-come in transitioning to president. As student life vice president, Van Atta has formed rela-tionships with various administrators in his work examining mental health resources and alcohol policy. He is a member of the campus coalition on mental health, which has been researching how mental health is handled at other universities. Van Atta has also served as chair of an ASG working group looking at the alcohol policies of NU’s peer institutions. & rough these endeavors, he has cultivated valuable relationships with administrators that can help move ASG measures forward.
Ajith and Van Atta’s experience will allow them to make quick advances in improving student life. & e past two ASG presidents and executive vice presidents were both “outsid-ers” promising a fresh start to ASG. & ough their goals were admirable, they faced steep learning curves that ultimately resulted in lost time and impedance of e+ cient and meaning-
ful progress, senators say. & e Daily believes that experience and knowledge of ASG trumps all when it comes to making improvements that will bene! t the stu-dent body.
Ajith and Van Atta know how to balance varying demands and have the appropri-ate resources to start making change. & eir transitions into the roles will be smoother than those for the other tickets, which keep them from get-
ting hung up on small details and allow them to focus on larger issues. Most importantly, Ajith and Van Atta have been working all year to make NU a better place. & ey haven’t mobi-lized merely for the campaign season — they have been using their existing roles to e% ect real change. Although all of the candidates bring enterprising ideas and passion, Ajith and Van Atta bring the solid background and immense knowledge ASG needs to truly repre-sent the views of students.

together on student productions. His mother’s friend is one of the oldest living people with cystic !brosis, and he was able to connect her with Josie Nordman.
He also coordinated the Bros Belting Ballads event April ", when students packed Jones Residential Col-lege and spoofed dramatic songs.
#e two events together have contributed about $","%& to Nordman’s fund. Moss is already thinking about his next event and said if needed, he will con-tinue helping a'er he graduates next year.
“Josie is an amazing person,” Moss said. “She deserves to get better.”
Nicolle and Josie Nordman agreed the support from the NU community has been indispensable. Nicolle Nordman repeatedly said her daughter could not be here without all the help she has received. NU’s Fiedler Hillel Center has driven her to class, and her friends continue to help with anything she needs.
“#e support that I’ve gotten means more to me than I could ever possibly express with words,” Josie Nordman said. “I really mean that.”’
Seder unites black, Jewish communitiesBy SOPHIA BOLLAG()*+, -./*01 -2)33.1 @SophiaBollag
Students from di4erent ethnic communities on campus came together Sunday night in Parkes Hall to discuss racial history and identity at Northwestern.
#e annual Black Jewish Freedom Seder, an event sponsored by NU Fiedler Hillel, For Mem-bers Only and other campus groups, focused on fostering discussions among students from di4erent backgrounds.
“I think it’s a good way to bring together two communities that don’t o'en interact,” said SESP junior Ariel Shay, one of the event’s co-planners.
About "&& people attended the Seder, which is in its ""th year. Attendees sat at round tables with about eight other people and engaged in conversa-tions led by discussion leaders. Unlike previous years, when attendees stayed at the same table for the whole evening, this year’s students switched tables several times during the Seder. By the end, each student had sat at three di4erent tables in order to interact with more people.
Discussion leaders !rst posed questions about the history of black and Jewish students at NU.
“#e history of black people and Jewish people at Northwestern is not talked about enough,” said Wein-berg junior Avra Shapiro, another co-planner.
Information sheets at each table provided facts about signi!cant events in the histories of both black and Jewish students at NU, such as the founding of FMO and the implementation of racial quotas , and about more recent events, such as the racial
controversy surrounding maintenance worker Michael Collins.
“I was surprised about how little people know about the history of diversity at Northwestern,” said Weinberg junior Tiara Starks, who participated in the discussions in addition to performing at the event as part of the Northwestern Community Ensemble.
Subsequent discussions focused on racial and cul-tural identity among di4erent groups at NU. Students talked about how cultural clubs, such as sponsoring organizations Hillel and FMO, brought students together, but sometimes also created a perception of exclusivity. Many students remarked about how they each tended to spend time with only people from a speci!c group, o'en one like Hillel or FMO that is based on a shared cultural identity. Students brainstormed ways to break down barriers.
Seder organizer Serena Walker said that as a
member of both the black and Jewish communi-ties at NU, inclusivity was one of her main goals in planning the event.
“I’m really passionate about bridging the gap between those communities,” she said.
Bienen senior Rohan #ompson said he thought the discussions of the “shared frustrations” about cultural barriers between groups was productive. He said it would be a good idea for students to continue having similar talks.
“I think having co4ee talks with random people is a really good idea,” he said.
Many attendees, like Starks, said they thought the event was a success.
“It’s always good to have these conversations with diverse groups of people,” she said.
Kerr, Netsch’s nephew, recalled how he and his aunt’s friends operated as the “Dawn patrol” to keep her well rested.
“Dawn loved to talk to friends and other well-wish-ers, even a'er she agreed she had to limit her talking,” Kerr said. “Dawn Clark Netsch limit her talking? Talk-ing was her stock and trade.”
NU Law Prof. Len Rubinowitz also talked about Netsch’s knack for companionship, especially with the colleagues and students she encountered. Rubinowitz described how much he valued the conversations with her in his o5ce and during cab rides, noting how fre-quently her students became “hooked on Dawn.”
In a video message played during the funeral, Chicago Sun-Times columnist Carol Marin said she admired Netsch for being open about her struggle with ALS.
“Dawn Clark Netsch was not just another pretty face,” Marin said, echoing Netsch’s gubernatorial campaign slogan. “She was, as far as I’m concerned, a goddess.”
#e ceremony closed with a viewing of a TV ad that aired during Netsch’s successful run in the "667 Democratic primary for Illinois governor. #e famous commercial shows Netsch winning a game of pool, playing o4 her image as a “straight shooter.”

Cats prepare to host 13 teams at spring tourneyBy KEVIN CASEY!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+) @KevinCasey./
Although warm spring weather has not yet hit the Chicago area, the cold won’t stop Northwestern from bombing it down the fairways.
0e Wildcats will start competition Monday in their 1nal tune-up for the Big Ten Championships. For the 1rst time since September, NU will be the home squad, hosting the .2-team Northwestern Spring Invitational at the Glen Club in Glenview, Ill., on Monday and Tuesday.
At about this time last year, the Cats traveled to Columbus, Ohio, for the Kepler Intercollegiate. Coach Pat Goss said Ohio State decided not to stage that event this year in order to prepare for the team’s duty hosting NCAA Regionals in May.
Despite the tournament’s cancellation, Goss still
believed his team needed to compete, and he real-ized the best way to do so would be at home.
“It’s really important, to me, to take the week before the Big Ten Championships o3 and to play this week,” Goss said. “0ere wasn’t an event out there I really wanted to play, so I 1gured we’d cre-ate one.”
0e perks of playing at home are not lost on the players. Senior Nick Losole said, by virtue of familiarity, NU knows the course better than any opponent and, by virtue of proximity, can practice and prepare on the links for a much longer period of time.
0ese advantages could add up to a number of saved strokes, and that could do NU wonders. But home-1eld advantage also brings added pressure.
“0e one thing about home tournaments is that sometimes you can put too much emphasis on the expectations, you make a mistake or two, and all
of a sudden, you get uptight,” Losole said. “We’re just trying to focus on the process, trying to treat it as any other tournament and focusing on the task at hand.”
Losole, along with junior Jack Perry, are the two expected to lead the Cats at the Glen Club. 0e pair has combined for .4 top-54s and six top-.4s this season and possesses the team’s two lowest season scoring averages by a good margin.
In recent tournaments, though, the young guns have announced their presence. Freshman Andrew Whalen posted a .5th place 1nish in Fresno, Calif., last month and Josh Jamieson, another freshman, has put together some solid play as well. Matthew Negri, a sophomore, has been the most impressive of the trio, 1nishing 1rst or second among his teammates in two of his last three events.
Negri said the recent youth revolt has added some extra juice to the team.
“Our better play has been really good in terms
of creating a lot of competition, good competi-tion, within the team,” Negri said. “When the underclassmen are able to post good scores, the upperclassmen realize that they have to practice just as hard and cannot get lazy with what they’re doing.”
Goss said he hopes this competition will spark something in one of the team’s number of players who have remained dormant.
“One thing about hosting an event is that we can play all three individuals, so all eight players will compete,” Goss said. “It’s really a chance for someone to earn their way into the lineup for the Big Ten Championships.”
0e coach is also clear about his goals for the event. With only one team in the 1eld ranked in the top .44, Goss expects his squad to win, as well as one of his players.

NU overcomes errors to take series !nale against IowaBy JOHN PASCHALL!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+) @John_Paschall
Northwestern (5.-.6, 6-7) entered Sunday coming o3 two heart-breaking losses against a scrappy Iowa (52-.6, 2-8) team. But coach Kate Drohan wanted those two recent defeats to quickly become a distant memory.
“We made a lot of mistakes,” Drohan admitted. “We gave them a lot in terms of walks and hit batters. Today was all about controlling what we could control and taking advantage of every opportunity.”
0e Wildcats responded to their coach’s message and rallied their way to an ..-9 victory in 1ve innings over the Hawkeyes in Sunday’s 1nale.
Friday’s game started o3 well for the Cats as sopho-more pitcher Amy Letourneau helped her own cause by hitting a three-run home run in the 1rst to put NU ahead early. But Letourneau and the Cats lost control
of the game in the fourth inning as the Hawkeyes scored / times and chased Letourneau a:er 9 ./9 innings. With the score .5-; in the seventh inning, NU tried to stage a last minute comeback by loading the bases. However, the Hawkeyes escaped with a win thanks to a diving catch in le: 1eld.
0e Hawkeyes came out swinging in Saturday’s matchup, compiling a ;-run third inning and took a .4-. lead into the bottom of the fourth. NU errors were a big reason for Iowa’s big inning, and Drohan said Iowa is good at taking advantage of the opposing team’s mistakes.
“We have to give them credit,” Drohan said. “0ey did a great job of putting pressure on our defense. 0ey did a great job of being aggressive to make the base runners we gave them pay. On the <ipside, we did not come up with great pitches in that moment.”
With its back against the wall and the team in need of runs to avoid the mercy rule, NU came out 1ghting. 0e Cats scratched and clawed their way to 6 runs in the 1:h inning thanks to sophomore shortstop Anna
Edwards, who hit her 1rst of two home runs on the day going along with a career-high 6 RBI.
0e Cats would tie it up in the bottom of the sixth at .5-.5 with run-scoring hits from Edwards, sopho-more designated player Andrea DiPrima and fresh-man second baseman Brianna LeBeau.
However, pitching and defense let down NU in the top of the seventh, committing two errors, which led to 9 runs for the Hawkeyes. Even with Edwards’ second home run of the game in the bottom of the inning, the Cats would come up just short again, los-ing .7-.2.
A:er struggling in both of her pitching appear-ances, Letourneau came into Sunday’s game hoping to give NU a much needed conference win. She weaved in and out of trouble in her 1rst couple of innings: At one point, she hit three Iowa batters in one inning to load the bases, which led to Iowa’s 1rst hit and runs in the game.
Edwards continued her hot-hitting weekend with an RBI single in the 1rst, which was part of a four-
run inning for NU. Edwards went 6-for-.. on the weekend with ; RBI.
“I’ve been feeling pretty good and working with Caryl (Drohan) a lot,” Edwards said. “We’ve just been working on not getting too aggressive and staying within myself. When I struggle, I try to do too much and am all over the place. So being con1dent in myself and knowing that I can hit any pitch if I let it get to me was the key.”

Alcohol and safety “We’ll continue the work my working group has been doing over the past year as far as looking at what creative ways can we do to ... increase awareness of what the alcohol policy is even,” Van Atta said. “! e administration has their view of what alcohol policy is, and the students obviously have a very di" erent view of that.”
! e pair does not mention alcohol on its online platform. Choi and Kim advocated for increased safety, especially for more bike lanes and blue lights. “We believe if you’re at one blue light you should be able to see another,” Choi said.
! e current alcohol policy encourages “stu-dents to drink o" -campus where it’s less safe, where there’s less familiarity and where it’s more invasive for Evanston residents,” Har-ris said.
“! e one thing that we’re going to be pushing for that no other team is pushing for is com-plete medical amnesty,” Zelikovich said. “! e fact that we don’t have it is a travesty.”
Dorms and meal plans
Ajith and Van Atta cited their experience working on an ASG working group to pro-duce tangible changes to campus living conditions. In a seperate interview with ! e Daily, Ajith said the working group produced tangible changes in dorms such as drinking fountains.
Choi and Kim do not have any plans for resi-dence halls or meal plans delineated in their online platform.
“Let’s make sure we have sensible dining hall hours, let’s make sure we have a # exible upperclassmen meal plan option, quarterly rollover meals and points,” Harris said. He said the team would also look into long-term options, such as closing unnecessary dining halls to improve dining hours.
Zelikovich cited his experience with Sodexo. He said it is not realistic to change meal plans, but the University could cut some dining loca-tions to increase dining hall hours on week-ends. “Food is a huge thing for me,” Zelikovich said. “I’m on the national student board, and they’re excited to have me in this position to really help reform food on campus.”
Mental health Van Atta said education about mental health needs to expand, and this will start with the Essential NU. He advocated for a website that would connect students with emer-gency resources. “We obviously can’t fund with our own money adding sta" at CAPS. We don’t have control over that. But we do have control over students’ perspective of CAPS and how we can connect them to those resources.”
! e ticket named mental health as one of the most pressing issues for student life. Choi and Kim called the Essential NU during Wildcat Welcome a point of progress for the University. “! at’s huge, and that’s what we want to be doing,” Kim said. “! ere are still areas that still need improvement.”
“Our mental health platform is twofold: the $ rst is about equipping CAPS and the second is about making sure students embrace men-tal health ourselves,” Harris said. “We’re using this election in large part to build momen-tum around that. We think students should be taking our own responsibility, our own empowerment over this important issue.”
“It’s not about peer counseling,” Zelikovich said. “It’s not going to be a realistic platform topic. We need to focus more on the peer education.”
Improving ASG “We can use the past three years of being within these roles to sit down with people and say, ‘OK this is what you can expect from your senator,’” Van Atta said.
“It can be small things,” Kim said. “I went to Senate, and there were not enough seats for other students. ! ere were only seats for senators, and Senate is for students.”
“One of our primary value propositions is bringing in leadership,” Harris said.
“We want to shi% the focus to breaking the ASG bubble and making it an outside-inside organization,” Zelikovich said.
O! -campus life “! is particular ticket has one of the stron-gest ... community relations in the past few years,” Ajith said. ! ey cited their experi-ences working with various aldermen on issues like campus safety and spoke about plans to foster a better relationship with &st Ward Ald. Fiske.
! e pair said ASG has not done enough in the past to promote civic engagement in Evanston. “We’d obviously be working closely to Fiske, I guess,” Choi said. “It’s working with what we got, and working with her and working to make sure our vision aligns with her’s.”
“I think it’s a couple things,” Harris said. “First of all, we need to let the University be at the forefront of dictating our relationship with city o' cials, because our relationship as someone who will serve only nine months can never be quite as developed as President Schapiro’s with Mayor Tisdahl, for example. So we do have to use the University’s lead.”
Zelikovich emphasized the importance of creating “positive relationships” with the city of Evanston. He advocated having dinners with Evanston residents and Northwestern residents. “We as a ticket decided to stay out of endorsing any candidate,” Zelikovich said. “Whoever would have one, we have to work with them.”
What sets them apart
“We’ve been able to start to do a lot of the things that we’re promising for next year,” Van Atta said. “We want to be able to use that experience from this past year and bring that whole experience to the campus.”
“We’ve de$ nitely seen how the organization appears from the outside,” Kim said. “! ere’s a lot of good things that are going on within ASG, but I think being on the outside it can bring a lot of insight and intuition that you don’t always see from the inside.”
“One it’s our leadership, within ASG and out-side of ASG,” Lee said. “And second it’s our platform that boasts really real and feasible solutions to problems that students have.”
“We want to do campaign week all year,” Zelikovich said. “! is is our chance to meet students and really know what’s going on. I think that’s our biggest di" erence: It’s not an end, it’s really a beginning for us.”

Cats run away from Blue Devils, CardinalBy ROHAN NADKARNI!"#$% &'(#)* &+",,'*@Rohan_NU
In a battle of radically di- erent styles, Northwestern’s slow and steady approach eventually wore out Stanford’s fast-paced o- ense.
. e No. / Wildcats (01-0) handled the No. 02 Cardinal (3-/) 04-3 at Lakeside Field on Sunday, withstanding an early run and then dominating the second half en route to their second victory of the weekend. NU also defeated No. 5 Duke 04-/ on Friday.
. e second half decided Sunday’s con-test. A6 er Stanford stonewalled senior attacker Erin Fitzgerald’s late scoring chance in the last seconds of the 7 rst half, it seemed like the Cardinal seized momentum despite trailing 3-8 headed into the break. But the Cats controlled the 7 nal period on the defensive end, only allowing Stanford one goal more than 42 minutes into the half.
NU scored the 7 rst / goals coming out of the break, putting the game out of reach for Stanford.
“. e defense came out and they really competed,” coach Kelly Amonte Hiller said of the second half. “(. e defense) did a great job of locking down, stop-ping their matchups and just playing as a team.”
Senior mid7 elder Taylor . ornton said the key to the switch in defensive intensity came from a change in strategy.
“We went to more of a man-to-man defense,” . ornton said. “We didn’t have
to move around as much. We had to come up with draw controls and ground balls, and that’s what’s going to win you games. I think we domi-nated that in the second half.”
Stanford started the game strong, running out to a 1-0 lead early in the 7 rst half. . e Cardi-nal put the Cats’ defense on their
heels, quickly attacking the net and taking shots early in possessions. But NU rebounded from Stanford’s early onslaught and scored 2 straight goals to take a 9-1 lead, which it would never relinquish.
Fitzgerald and . ornton each scored once in the opening 1: minutes. Free position shots greatly aided NU’s o- ense, which scored 8 goals in such situations, including 7 ve times in the 7 rst half. Senior attacker Beatrice Conley also added a goal in each half.
“We like to make sure that we’re on the same page,” Conley said of the Cats’ methodical o- ense. “Even if it takes us eight minutes to get a goal, it just mat-ters that we have the ball and we’re in control.”
A6 er the Cats’ 7 ve-goal run, Stanford answered with 4 goals of its own to draw within 9-2. But NU added another 4 to
re-gain its three-goal lead. A6 er the Cats went ahead 3-2, the Cardinal managed to pull back to 3-8 before the stop on Fitzger-ald with seconds le6 in the 7 rst half, but they would not come any closer.
Sunday’s contest played much dif-ferently than the Cats’ 7 rst game of the weekend, when they dominated Duke.
NU stormed out of the gates, scoring
the game’s 7 rst 8 goals to take a 8-: lead into hal6 ime. Fitzgerald scored / of her 2 goals in the 7 rst half, while sophomore goalkeeper Bridget Bianco routinely turned away any of the Blue Devils’ attackers.
. e win was the Cats’ 0:th straight against Duke, and it came because of a sti; ing e- ort on the defensive end. NU
held Duke to 0/ shots and also created 5 turnovers. . e Cats pushed their lead to 04-0 in the second half before the Blue Devils scored the game’s 7 nal 1 goals, creating a 7 nal score much closer than the actual contest.

DRAWING AWAY Junior midfi elder Alyssa Leonard broke NU’s school record for career draw controls with 5 against Duke on Friday. After picking up 3 more on Sunday against Stanford, Leonard has 272 draw controls in her time at NU. She has 91 draw controls this season alone, 19 behind the program record held by Danielle Spencer.
Late runs doom Cats in sweepBy ALEX PUTTERMAN+<' !"#$% ()*+<='&+'*(@AlexPutt:4
A groundball back to the pitcher was just what the Wildcats needed.
With one out and the bases loaded in a tied game Saturday, the potential double play chopper appeared made-to-order. But after senior pitcher Luke Farrell tossed the ball home for the sixth inning’s second out, junior catcher Jake Straub bounced his throw to first, watching the ball trickle into right field as the go-ahead run crossed the plate.
“I just didn’t clear the base-line enough,” Straub said. “Run-ner might have been a little bit in the way, caused me to make a bad throw. I tried to guide it around him and just made a bad throw.”
It was perhaps the most dev-astating of the many late-inning runs Northwestern (0/-01, /-3 Big Ten) surrendered in being swept by Minnesota (44-01, 8-4) over three games in Evanston this weekend.
The Cats allowed 0: of Minne-sota’s 08 runs to score in the seventh inning or later, beginning with an eighth-inning Golden Gophers rally Friday.
NU starting pitcher Zach Morton was brilliant through seven innings, allowing / hits and 0 walk while keeping the ball on the ground and in the catcher’s mitt. Over the first seven frames, the redshirt senior recorded 2 outs via strikeout and 09 via groundballs, allowing only one ball to reach the outfield on the fly, a fourth inning double that plated an unearned run.
But in the eighth, Morton struggled to keep his pitches low and, as a result, saw his ERA grow.
Minnesota started the inning with two singles and took a 4-0 lead a on a fielder’s choice. Two batters later, third baseman Ryan Abraha-mson homered to left field, scoring 4 more runs.
NU junior Kyle Ruchim jacked a long ball of his own in the bot-tom of the inning, but a line drive double play in the ninth halted a potential Cats rally, and the /-4 Cats loss ended one batter later with freshman Josh Perlmutter’s fourth strikeout of the game.
Farrell allowed 1 runs, 0 earned, in the first inning Saturday before settling in to throw seven more, scattering 9 hits in total.
“I had some trouble commanding my pitches, especially in the first inning.” Farrell said. “You never know what the transition is really going to be like from the bullpen to the actual game mound. At the same time, there’s no excuse to come out and not throw strikes or pound the zone.”
The Cats responded with 1 runs in their half of the first, one via another home run from Ruchim. After Straub’s error gave Minnesota the lead in the sixth, the Gophers added 4 more in the ninth, both runs scoring on wild pitches off freshman Reed Mason and cement-ing the 9-1 final.
“It’s always hard,” Farrell said. “Any loss is hard, especially in Big Ten because they are magnified a little bit, but we’re still keeping
things positive.”Sunday’s game also was close
for six innings, a pair of unearned runs the only damage done off NU starter Brandon Magallones.
Then came a ferocious, defense-aided Minnesota rally in the seventh inning. The Cats made two two-out errors in the inning, enabling five Gophers to cross the plate.
NU scored a run of their own in the seventh but would succumb feebly thereafter, falling 8-0 to end the weekend.
“It’s always tough to sit there and lose a ballgame,” Stevens said. “(But) I believe that there’s a lot of intestinal fortitude and these guys will find a way to battle back.”

SWEPT AWAY NU gave up 10 runs in the seventh inning or later as it got swept by Minnesota over the weekend. The Cats fell to 4-8 in the Big Ten with the losses.
NU splits weekend, Smith scores upsetBy ABBEY CHASE+<' !"#$% ()*+<='&+'*(@Abbey_Chase
Playing at home for the 7 rst time in a month , Northwestern continued its push through the Big Ten schedule, taking on Penn State and Ohio State in two competi-tive and dramatic matches.
“I was pretty pleased with Friday as well as (Sunday),” coach Arvid Swan said . “I thought we returned a bit better on (Sun-day), but we were playing outside so there’s more time (to react).”
. e Wildcats 7 nally reversed their for-tune in doubles Friday night, besting the Nittany Lions in two of the three matches to get on the board 7 rst.
Singles play started steadily for NU. Senior Sidarth Balaji eventually made a breakthrough in the 7 rst set and ran away with his match, and his teammates followed close behind. Sophomore Alex Pasareanu and freshman Mihir Kumar wrapped up their respective matches shortly therea6 er, with Kumar dropping just two games along the way.
Although the duel was decided in NU’s favor, the night’s hardest fought match came a6 er the victory was in hand.
At the No. 4 spot, junior Raleigh Smith locked in a battle against Tomas Hanzlik . Although most of his teammates com-pleted the better part of their second sets, Smith fought to break Hanzlik in a mara-thon ninth game in the 7 rst set, eventually taking the set 9-1 in a game that lasted more than 4: minutes.
Hanzlik eventually pushed the match to a 0:-point super tiebreaker, where he bested Smith 1-9, 8-9(9), 00-5.
NU 7 nally saw the sun Sunday, squar-ing o- against Ohio State outdoors in Evanston for the 7 rst time this season. Although the Cats were swept in doubles , the three teams of two traded breaks with
the Buckeyes in three competitive matches before the country’s No. 2 team pulled away.
“They’re an exceptionally good team,” Swan said. “You have to play aggressively when you have chances to win a game. I think just in those critical
moments, we could have played a bit more aggressively.”
Although he did not walk away with a win, Kumar hung tough in his 7 rst match against the Buckeyes and saved three match points before falling to No. 3/ Devin McCarthy 9-1, 9-/.
“. at’s one thing we talk about a lot — how I need to keep high energy even when I’m down,” Kumar said. “Being posi-tive and being loud, it makes me play so much better, and I’m more aggressive. Everything just ; ows better in my game when I do that.”
. e 7 nal match of the day once again came down to Smith, who was 7 ghting to get the Cats on the board.
Contending against No. 9 Peter Kobelt , the highest-ranked singles player in the Big Ten , and a rowdy display from Ohio State spectators, Smith gritted his way to a 9-4, 1-9, 9-/ upset win, bringing the 7 nal match score to 9-0.
“It’s kind of tough playing when the match is already clinched either way, espe-cially a6 er a loss,” Smith said. “Obviously I wish it had come down to my match or we had already clinched the victory but it’s always nice to win, especially against a good player like him.”
