Vigil held for ferry victims
Nathan Richards/Daily Senior Staffer
IN MEMORIAM Students pause during a candlelight vigil Friday for victims of the Sewol ferry disaster. The event was organized by several student groups, including the Korean American Students Association.
By ALICE YINthe daily northwestern@alice__yin
Members of the Northwestern com-munity gathered Friday night under the so� glow of a candlelight vigil to com-memorate the lives lost in last month’s South Korean Sewol ferry sinking.
About 50 students, alumni and faculty members attended the vigil, which was organized by NU’s Korean American Student Association, Koreans At North-western University and Asian Paci� c American Coalition.
Standing around � e Rock, the crowd remembered the tragedy, which occurred on April 16, when a Sewol ferry capsized with 476 people on board. Most of the people on the ship were high school stu-dents, and at least 236 individuals died and 66 are still missing.
“Korea is talking about how they can make the country safe but the most important thing is just remembering all the young lives lost,” Asian languages and cultures Prof. Eunmi Lee said at the start of the event. “Nothing can be replaceable … (as) the mother of two children, I’m just very angry and sad about the whole thing.”
As the vigil began, the glow of a sea of white candles gradually radiated from the area as people passed the � ame from one wick to another.
� e vigil started by taking a moment of silence to re� ect on those a� ected. Individuals then wrote messages on a banner while a student initiated the sing-ing of the Korean national anthem.
� e event concluded with people tak-ing turns sharing their initial reactions and feelings about the tragedy. Many members of the crowd were in tears throughout the vigil.

Evanston community leaders are dra� ing a proposal to bring a long-term education initiative called Cradle to Career to the city.
Cradle to Career has established itself with the vision that “by the age of 23, all Evanston young adults will be lead-ing productive lives, building on the resources, education and support that they and their families have had to help them grow into resilient, educated, healthy, self-sufficient, and socially responsible adults.”
It relies on a “collective impact” model that aims to mobilize various organiza-tions and entities in order to better serve a common goal.
� e idea for a community-wide move came to light in October 2012 at a meet-ing with leaders in Evanston, school district 202 superintendent Eric With-erspoon said. � ey picked up Cradle to Career from the national Strive Network and decided to apply its basic concept to the Evanston community. Witherspoon and a few key leaders have met continu-ously in order to mold the model to � t Evanston’s structure.
“It’s a game-changing proposal and initiative for our community,” Wither-spoon said. “It will save youth in so many e� ective ways for a long, long time.”
� e e� ort focuses not only on devel-oping the parts of the community that deal with youths in district schools, but also the parts concerning teenagers and concerning young adults transitioning to the job market; hence the initiative’s name. Witherspoon said that for Cradle to Career to work, it needs the involve-ment of all sectors, including businesses, schools and for-pro� t and nonpro� t organizations.
Witherspoon said this full-blown engagement is critical to the program’s success. � e entire community must learn its responsibility in furthering the lives of young people by making the most available to them, he said.
“We’re still not getting all the out-comes of youths that we could be get-ting,” he said. “� ere are still gaps in the system. We have to make sure no chil-dren fall between the cracks. We all agree that we will hold ourselves accountable to shared metrics.”
Several community groups have already expressed interest in participa-tion, including the Youth Organiza-tions Umbrella, the McGaw YMCA, the YWCA Evanston/North Shore, and the Second Baptist Church and Childcare Network of Evanston, Witherspoon said
Cradle to Career has also reached out to Northwestern University and Oakton Community College to span its work to

NU reviews guidance on Title IX, genderBy TYLER PAGERthe daily northwestern@tylerpager
Although Northwestern policies have protected students from discrimi-nation against gender identity since 2009, NU administrators are reviewing these policies following a new federal guidance document that explicitly states that Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 extends to claims of discrimination based on gender identity.
� e O� ce for Civil Rights in the U.S. Department of Education released the document Tuesday with guidelines regarding educational institutions’ obligations under Title IX. According to the American Civil Liberties Union, the document is the � rst to explicitly discuss the protections Title IX pro-vides to transgender students.
“Title IX’s sex discrimination prohi-bition extends to claims of discrimina-tion based on gender identity or failure to conform to stereotypical notions of masculinity or femininity, and OCR accepts such complaints for investiga-tion,” the OCR said in the guidance document.”Similarly, the actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity of the parties does not change a school’s obligations.”
Sarah Brown, a senior equal employment opportunity special-ist, said NU’s Policy on Discrimi-nation and Harassment prohibits
discrimination on 16 categories, which include sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression.
“Although Northwestern’s policies already cover the transgender commu-nity, the O� ce of Equal Opportunity and Access is reviewing the recent guidance by the O� ce of Civil Rights to determine if any policy revisions are necessary,” she said in an email.
Title IX Coordinator Joan Slavin said the Title IX Coordinating Com-mittee is also reviewing their policies to see if any changes are needed.
Devin Moss, director of the LGBT Resource Center, said OCR’s guidance serves to clarify existing policies.
“� ere’s not just University back-ing. � ere’s a wider backing to ensure people are safe and have the ability to live life just like anyone else in regards to their gender identity and expression which I love,” he said. “Now it’s time for people to live up to these polices of inclusion and making sure there is space for trans and gender noncon-formity individuals to exist within all aspects of our community.”
Moss added the document has implications beyond just college campuses.
“I do think this a really great thing on campus but also in society as a whole in order to protect individuals to make sure everyone has the same safe experiences to the best of our ability,” he said.
Firm presents citywide bike planBy SOPHIA BOLLAGdaily senior staffer@SophiaBollag
A consulting � rm presented the latest dra� of a citywide bike plan on Saturday that would add features to make bike travel safer on some streets and prohibit it on others.
� e plan would add safety features to eight “corridors,” including parts of Asbury, Chicago, Sherman and Maple
avenues, Noyes and Howard streets, Green Bay Road and several other streets, in most cases by creating pro-tected bike lanes. It would also prohibit bike travel on parts of Dempster, Main and Central streets, South Boulevard and Green Bay Road.
� e plan also proposed adding safety measured to parts of Greenleaf Street, Oakton Street, Callan Avenue, South Boulevard, Sheridan Road, Edgemere Court, Lincoln Street, Harrison Street and Lincolnwood Drive.
� e corridors were selected based on bike and automobile tra� c studies and width of the streets, Public Works director Suzette Robinson said.
� e dra� was presented at a work-shop Saturday morning to collect feed-back from residents before Evanston and the consulting � rm T.Y. Lin Inter-national � nalize the proposal and pres-ent it to City Council in June.

Man arrested after allegedly kissing 11-year-old Evanston girl
Officers arrested a Chicago man Monday more than a year after he kissed an 11-year-old Evanston girl on the mouth, police said.
Police arrested Victor Soto on Monday evening at his home in the 2200 block of North Kilbourn Avenue. Soto, 26, previously lived in Evanston,
where he was a neighbor of the girl. Soto engaged in “inappropriate physical contact” with the girl, Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said.
The alleged incident occurred between Dec. 12, 2012, and Jan. 1, 2013, police said. The child’s par-ents reported it to police on Jan. 10 of last year.
Detectives investigated the case for over a year and had a difficult time locating Soto, Parrott said. Soto was charged with battery and is scheduled to appear in court May 21.
Police arrest man in connection with battery in central Evanston
Police arrested a homeless man Tuesday night after he punched an Evanston resident.
A 49-year-old Evanston resident was walking in the 500 block of Lee Street when a man, who told police he was homeless, approached him and asked for money.
The resident refused, at which point the man got angry and struck the resident in the face
multiple times, Parrott said. Officers responded to the scene after a wit-
ness called police and arrested the man in the 1000 block of Chicago Avenue. The Evanston resident did not sustain any serious injuries, Parrott said.
The man is scheduled to appear in court May 29.

Chabad House honors EPD Chief EddingtonBy julian gerezthe daily northwestern @jgerez_news
More than 100 people attended a dinner reception Sunday hosted by the Tannenbaum Chabad House to honor Evanston Police Chief Richard Eddington and others.
Eddington was honored with the Guardian Award for his years of service to the city and to the police department. Rabbi Dov Hillel Klein said Eddington is a huge supporter of the Jew-ish center.
“Over the last several years, he’s been an unbelievable support to myself, to my com-munity and to the city of Evanston as a whole,” Klein said. “He’s made our streets safer.”
The annual Service Recognition Award Reception, which was hosted at the Woman’s Club of Evanston, 1702 Chicago Ave., on Sun-day evening, was held also to recognize alumni and current student leaders in addition to Eddington as well as the Chabad House’s more than 20 years of service to the Evanston and NU communities.
Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl spoke at the dinner about the role that the Chabad House plays in Evanston.
“I appreciate the Chabad House’s role in the city of Evanston,” she said. “They can do an incredible amount for our city.”
Eddington spoke about the importance of the Chabad House in ministering to the city, and
especially to the police department.“That an Irish-Catholic cop is at a Chabad
House dinner speaks volumes about the city of Evanston,” he said. “It’s a unique opportunity that we’re here together.”
Donald Jacobs, dean emeritus of the Kellogg School of Management, also spoke positively
about the contributions of the Chabad House to the university, more than a year and a half after the Jewish center’sdisaffiliation from the University following allegations that Klein was serving alcohol to minors.
Alumnus David Edelstein (Weinberg ’04) and his wife Lauren Edelstein were given the
Kindness Award. David Edelstein helped Alpha Epsilon Pi become more established at NU and currently works as an attorney in Washington, D.C.
“I came to Northwestern looking for a fun and immersive Jewish experience,” Edelstein said. “I found that in two organizations: AEPi and the Tannenbaum Chabad House.”
Additionally, seven graduating students on the executive board of the Chabad House were recognized for their accomplishments within Chabad and the Jewish community as a whole at NU.
“Chabad could not operate if it wasn’t for a strong exec board,” Klein said. “We are very grateful to them and their effort.”
The event included a performance from the a cappella group Asterik and a live comedian, Mark Schiff.
The Chabad House in Evanston, 2014 Orrington Ave., was founded when Klein arrived at NU in 1985 as a home away from home for Jewish students at NU, according to its website. But it also offers services for the Evanston community as a whole, including for the police department.
Klein founded and developed the Evanston Police Chaplain Program, which “offers com-fort, prayer, guidance, wisdom, common sense and expertise to members of the Evanston Police Department, their families, and the community at large,” according to its website.

A&O, SEED host annual folk festivalBy REBECCA SAVRANSKYdaily senior staffer@beccasavransky
Members of the Northwestern community gath-ered together Saturday to listen to bluegrass and folk music on Norris University Center’s East Lawn, taking advantage of the nice weather for the annual Philfest concert.
A&O Productions and Students for Ecological and Environmental Development organized the event, held in memory of Phil Semmer, a former SEED member who died in a car accident. Philfest is held every year in his memory and as part of an e� ort to bring about greater environmental awareness.
Sunnyside Up and Todd Kessler opened the con-cert with � e Deadly Gentlemen headlining the event. � e crowd laid out on the grass, played games and danced to the music as the di� erent groups took the stage. A&O concerts chair Morgan Hecht said the organization was excited about recruiting local artists and that students seemed to be enjoying the music and the event.
“We want to make sure it’s engaging and fun, people start dancing and all these bands are super talented and really high energy too,” the Communi-cation junior said. “� is is an event that people come stumble upon or know through other organizations and it’s just like a nice day to listen to music so even if you don’t know the artists, people tend to enjoy it a lot.”
During the concert, several student groups, including Project Wildcat, WildRoots and Associ-ated Student Government, set up booths and held di� erent games and activities. Members of SEED sold shirts to bene� t the Rocky Mountain Institute, a nonpro� t working for sustainable energy use and Semmers’ favorite charity. For the � rst year, a bike-operated smoothie maker was also set up to give students a fun and energy-e� cient way to make their own drinks.
SEED co-president Madeline Miller said more student groups were represented this year, which she said would bring about greater awareness for the cause. She added that she was excited the event
encouraged students to participate in a di� erent kind of programming than NU normally puts on.
“Personally, I see a lack of programming at North-western that kind of � ts this niche of interests like folk music, music festivals and like hanging out in the sunshine. It makes me feel like I’m at home in Portland,” the Weinberg junior said. “And we hope to get the names of di� erent student groups out there and show people what we do.”
� e groups represented at Philfest encouraged attendees to join them, said SEED service co-chair Leena Vilonen.
� roughout the day students lingered around the Lake� ll, coming in and out of the concert area. By the end of the day, several attendees were dancing by the stage as � e Deadly Gentlemen engaged the audience with their music.
Members of A&O said when planning the con-cert, they were hoping students would use the day as an opportunity to enjoy the music and take a break from studying.
“We have such a beautiful campus and I feel like a
lot of times we don’t have the time to enjoy it,” A&O spokeswoman Rosalind Mowitt said.
Students who attended the concert said it brought together a di� erent variety of people than they have seen at other events. Weinberg freshman Stephen Rhode said having an event that was held outdoors and open to all students created a more cohesive campus environment.
“We love the environment. We love being out-side,” Rhode said. “It’s awesome that Northwestern has events like these where I feel like it really brings the student population together.”
A&O spokeswoman Shelly Tan said the weather, environment and music created the perfect combi-nation for an outdoor music festival.
“� at moment when the clouds � nally part and the sun kind of � nally shines down and we’re all happy and warm, I think that really exempli� es the vibe that we’re going for in that we want people to get out and have some fun,” she said.

Library launches exhibit on South African apartheidBy ciara mccarthydaily senior staffer @mccarthy_ciara
Northwestern is marking the 20th anniversary of democracy in South Africa with University and Deer-ing library exhibits drawing on multiple platforms to portray both the international struggle and NU’s connection to the conflict, featuring the campus com-munity’s role in protesting the apartheid regime.
The exhibit, “From Apartheid to Democracy: 20 Years of Transition in South Africa,” focuses on two main aspects of anti-apartheid history. The display in the main library delves into the country’s first demo-cratic election and features an original 1994 election ballot.
Erik Ponder, one of the exhibit’s co-curators, worked as an election observer under the United Nations during the country’s first democratic elec-tions. He said the exhibit has allowed the Herskovits Library of African Studies to display its wide array of artifacts related to South African history, including its extensive election poster collection.
Deering Library showcases a more local aspect of the anti-apartheid struggle, featuring NU’s debate about divesting from South African companies and
other Chicago-area groups who were also involved in the global movement against apartheid.
Esmeralda Kale, who curated the exhibit with Ponder and John Kannenberg, said the campus con-versation at NU was unique because the University’s prolonged discussion about divestment encouraged and instigated further student activism. Through-out the 1970s and 1980s, students organized protests and sit-ins, built at least two shantytowns and were arrested on multiple occasions. Kale and Kannen-berg said highlighting NU students’ involvement in the movement was an important legacy for current students to understand.
“In today’s culture, people feel like they’re help-ing out causes around the world by doing things like posting images to Facebook or clicking a ‘like’ but-ton, and these people were living outside and getting arrested by the police,” Kannenberg said. “It’s so radi-cally different.”
Kale said the curators worked to integrate various platforms for learning to make the exhibit as engag-ing as possible. It is the first library exhibit to include an iPad, on which visitors can use the “Zapiro: Jiv-ing with Madiba,” app, which features the work of famed South African cartoonist and political satirist Jonathan Shapiro.
In addition to the app, the Herskovits Library
also produced a video featuring the perspectives and memories of Chicago-area election observers. Ponder, who produced the video with two Medill
students, said he has collected about 12 oral histories so far and hopes to expand the video into a full-length documentary.
The exhibit is coupled with three lectures by NU professors and a film series. Political science Prof. Alvin Tillery, who will deliver his lecture on Monday, noted the importance of the South African conflict to those even without explicit ties to the country and its symbolism to the global community.
“We had a very important stake in South Africa and in resolving these issues in our own democratic society,” he said. “We all walk hand in hand in these issues.”
Tillery’s talk will cover the connection between black members of Congress and the role they played in mobilizing the U.S. government to oppose the apartheid regime as well as the significance their activism held for the country.
Kannenberg added the exhibit allowed students who didn’t live through the apartheid era to under-stand its global significance.
“It’s a very powerful word, but I think a lot of people in the campus community are of a certain age that they don’t really know what that word stands for,” he said.

Mayfest revises Dillo Day wristband, entrance policies
By tyler Pagerthe daily northwestern @tylerpager
In an effort to improve safety and account-ability during Dillo Day, Mayfest will require every guest to wear a wristband and will prohibit the general public from attending the festival.
Access to Dillo Day this year will be restricted to Northwestern students, faculty and staff and their personal guests as well as Evanston
residents. Non-student guests under the age of 19 must be accompanied by a chaperone at all times. If the guest is not registered with a stu-dent, the chaperone must be at least 25 years old. All attendees must register online through the University. Registration has not yet opened.
“By eliminating those people who would come to Dillo Day, we are trying to promote safety among Northwestern students,” said Vic-toria Zuzelo, Mayfest’s director of university relations. “At the end of the day, it is funded by the Student Activities Fee, which is meant for students, so we really want to make sure that students are getting the biggest benefit out of Dillo Day.”
Each student can bring up to two guests, and NU staff and Evanston residents can register up to four guests. There will be separate wristbands
for guests under 19, and chaperones for under-age guests must stay at Dillo Day. Wristbands will be distributed prior to Dillo Day and will have serial numbers that will be linked to each attendee. In the past, wristbands were not required for all attendees.
Zuzelo said the serial numbers on the wrist-bands will help with accountability.
“According to the police, a lot of the problems that happen on Dillo Day are not necessarily Northwestern students, especially the Evanston violations,” the Weinberg senior said. “We really want to make sure that Northwestern students are accountable for the people that they are inviting.”
Students who do not pick up the wristbands before Dillo Day will be charged a $5 conve-nience fee on the day of the festival.
Wristbands will not be replaced if lost, and they are separate from the wristbands distrib-uted by Residential Services.
Due to construction, Dillo Day will also only have one entrance and one exit this year. Guests will enter from Norris University Center’s East Lawn and exit near the Sports Pavilion and Aquatics Center.
Justin Wolf, co-executive producer, said the wristbands will help limit congestion that may result from only having one entrance.
“If you have a wristband, all you have to do is flash it, and that is your entrance to Dillo Day,” the Communication junior said. “This wristband shows that you have gone through all the neces-sary measures to obtain it.”

Classical music is having a complete make-over, with a hint of twerking and highlights of cannabis.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, check out the South Korean dance group Waveya’s rendering of Dvorak’s “Symphony No. 9 Allegro con fuoco” or Burlesque dancer Michelle L’amour’s performance to Beethoven’s 5th Symphony. Additionally, the Colorado Symphony will soon begin a program called “Classically Cannabis: � e High Note Series,” which will be a Bring Your Own Cannabis event.
For me, classical music and twerking or smoking epitomized the word “clash.”
Classical music is a digni� ed art form. Immediately I draw in my mind quiet, solemn music halls or oil painting portraits of compos-ers who lived hundreds of years ago. I would feel as close to them as I feel to a music history
textbook. In a sense, with dignity comes dis-tance, almost like there’s an unapproachable aura preventing me from casually picking it up. For instance, it’s not something you hear out on the streets, on your friends’ computers, in the dining halls. You need to make a conscious e� ort to listen to classical music.
So given this context, classical-music-meets-twerking-and-pot was at � rst a shock.
Some criticize it as selling out and even insulting classical music as a whole, which is understandable. Yes, performing classical music has historically been everything about respect: respect for tradition, respect for conservative-ness and respect for preserving the sounds that the celebrated composers had in mind. For sure, Beethoven and Dvorak wouldn’t have imagined their music being twerked to. To mix the two is to disrespect the boundaries.
But this disrespect of conventions is innova-tion. One must give credit for this avant-garde idea to reformulate classical music. Classi-cal music is puri� ed as people or groups like Waveya, Michelle L’amour and the Colorado Symphony strip down all the social contexts of music and leave only the melodies and power of sound to the audience. Dvorak’s “Symphony
No. 9 Allegro con fuoco” is reinterpreted with dance moves that � t perfectly with each beat and melody. Waveya takes Dvorak out of symphony halls to an aquarium, a stadium, an average landscape view of Korean apart-ment complexes, a traditional Korean build-ing and silhouettes of Korean skyscrapers. � e symphony transcends age. It’s no longer strictly classi� ed as “classical music.” Likewise, Michelle L’amour’s interpretation of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony is creating another dimension for the music with visuals. I pay attention more to the details of the music, the di� erent instru-mental sounds that go through crescendos and decrescendos. I see the music as pulsating. Of course, I haven’t personally experienced Classi-cally Cannabis but the thought of maximizing the sensual elements of music by enjoying it with food and cannabis is ingenious. � is way seems more natural, unpretentious and in that way, kind of a renaissance for classical music.
Furthermore, this new trend makes music available to a larger, younger public. When has classical music made so many hashtags and likes on social media? In a way, it’s democrati-zation of art.
Sure, some may say that following the
money, like what Colorado Symphony is doing, is selling out or “prostituting,” but it’s really impossible to not consider the economic factors.
It’s important to realize that the greats like Shakespeare needed to consider � nancial needs and demands. Very few individuals, well endowed, could manage to completely ignore money. To expect otherwise is to be naive and unrealistic.
I see reapproaching classical music with con-temporary culture like twerking and smoking as an addition to the art world, not a subtrac-tion. It’s a rising trend, and it’s important for the industry to read the trend and � nd its way of embracing it.
We completely strip the sti� ness and ste-reotypes that have placed classical music onto shelves reserved for special occasions. It has become lively, entertaining and mainstream. It’s not really a “clash” as much as it is a revival of classical music in the artistic sense.

� e “college experience” is all about balance: taking academics, extracurriculars and a social life and piecing them all together in perfect harmony. Achieving this seems like a daunting task, and it is tough to do it without spread-ing yourself too thin. However, the search for balance is part of the process, and what you ultimately decide to � ll your time with will carry weight throughout the rest of your life. One piece of this puzzle that is extremely important is having a job – working part-time while also attending school. � is is something that should be attempted by everybody during their undergraduate career.
In my experience, having a job has been bene� cial as a whole. Admittedly, it does take time away from an already hectic sched-ule, but the positives outweigh the potential drawbacks.
Receiving a paycheck every two weeks is an obvious bene� t of having a job. � ere have been many instances where, without a job, I would have hesitated to purchase small luxu-ries. However, with my own stream of income I am able to splurge on small items without
feeling guilty. In a way, it is also an initial step toward the independence we will inevitably have to face in the future. Having a steady paycheck has made me more aware of my own � nances, and it has given me insight into how to successfully manage money.
Aside from the � nancial aspect of employ-ment, another huge bene� t is the connections you form within the workplace. I previously
worked at a reception desk on the third � oor of Norris University Center, and during the year I worked there, I gained many acquain-tances, both professional and personal. I was able to interact with the executive director of Norris and the mini course facilitator, as well as students who were juniors and seniors, all people who I would not have met otherwise.
Experience is another obvious gain from
having a job. Employers seek out applicants with previous experience in the workplace, and by taking on a job during your undergradu-ate career, you are essentially getting a head start on the process of � nding post-graduate employment. It also demonstrates to potential employers that you are capable of balancing work and school, and this goes a long way in predicting how you will perform in a profes-sional environment.
It might seem like an intimidating task, but it is important that you seek out employment, at least for a short period of time, during your undergraduate career. Yes, the bene� ts I have listed are important for your future, but having a job is perhaps the most important on a per-sonal level. In my experience, being employed while also balancing classes, club sports and other groups has given me con� dence that I can succeed in the real world. I have proven to myself that I can achieve balance and prioritize when necessary. Above all, I have a clearer idea of where my talents and abilities lie and what I can achieve. Working might seem like some-thing you want to save until a� er you gradu-ate, but I encourage you to act otherwise and expand your horizons.

Work experience an overlooked part of college
Classical music gets a modern reinterpretation
TREVORSTOIMENOFFDAILY COLUMNIST
It’s easy to be on your best behavior when most things go well. Working well on a team? No problem. Finishing writing that paper? Why not? Smiling at all your professors, classmates and colleagues? No problem at all. Feeling gen-erous and helping strangers out on Sheridan? Absolutely! It is a good day, and we are cruising through life. Now, the more important ques-tion is who are we on a bad day? We may be absolute stars as people, but how we behave on a bad day can adversely a� ect our productivity as well as how people perceive us, especially in the workplace.
Imagine you have not slept well for days because you have been trying to balance all your schoolwork, extracurricular activities and job applications as well as your social life. Or sup-pose you woke up on the wrong side of the bed one morning or you had an intense argument with your best friend last night. Or assume you did not get the job you were so sure you were going to get, and now your future looks bleak. All these, among many other things, can trigger the start of a bad day. Needless to say, we can associate negative emotions with bad days. We
could be feeling anxious, stressed, frustrated, disappointed or simply aggravated. Under such circumstances it takes little to tip you over.
Given that we are feeling some sort of nega-tive emotion on a bad day, chances are we are allowing our behavior to re� ect some of those emotions. On a bad day, we might be less will-ing to help our peers or volunteer for tasks. We may snap at our team members and interact less with people, becoming more withdrawn. In the worst-case scenario we may even lose con-trol and have an emotional outburst in public. Whereas most of our best friends might try to understand and accommodate our emotions when we are having a bad day, people we work with might not know why we are behaving the way we are and might just perceive us as nega-tive people. Even though we may be positive 95 percent of the time, that one day can prove vital in shaping our reputation at work or school.
Moreover, letting our negative emotions take over on a bad day is also likely to a� ect our productivity and decision-making capabilities. We may be stressing over something that has happened or anticipating something that will happen, which will make us unable to focus on the task at hand. If disappointment levels are high, our energy levels may drop and lower our motivation to work. And if we are feeling negative, our decision-making abilities will be skewed, and we will be less likely to evaluate all
options fairly with an inclination to choose the safest, although not the best, option.
However, we still need to make momentous decisions, have important meetings and deliver major presentations on bad days. Life does not stop and check if we are having a bad day; it carries on as normal. Ergo, it is vital to learn how to actively manage negative emotions and not let them overshadow our true personali-ties and abilities. Especially when we are in a situation where we may be exposed to having frequent bad days, we need to manage our emo-tions and not let them manage us.
Once we raise self-awareness and actively realize that we may be having a bad day and are susceptible to behaving out of sorts, half of the problem is solved. It is then worth setting some time aside and re� ecting upon why we are feeling as aggravated as we are and how to best manage our emotions before going to work.
It is natural to have negative emotions from time to time, but expression of negative emo-tions via actions that adversely a� ect one’s professional reputation, productivity or peers should really be an exception rather than the norm.

workshop. Attendees were surveyed during the workshop about each aspect of the proposal and about where they would like to see more options for bike parking.
Most voiced their support of the proposed improvements to bike safety on the targeted streets, although there was some disagreement about how the safety measures should be implemented, espe-cially on Chicago Avenue.
The plan presented two options to improve safety in the Chicago Avenue corridor, one that would create a protected two-way bike lane on Chicago between Church and Howard streets and another that would create a one-way protected bike lane on the street and a complementary one-way bike lane on Hinman Avenue. Both options would reduce the number of parking spaces for cars on Chicago Avenue.
John Jacobs, a member of North Shore Cycling Advocates, said that although he anticipated it would be difficult to get residents to agree on a solution to the problem, he thought it was important for safety measures to be put in place.
“It’s one of the most used bicycle corridors in the city, … and it’s not safe in its current form,” he said. “Between two lanes of traffic going in each direction and the parked cars, there really isn’t a safe space for bicyclists.”
Most of the residents at the workshop said they opposed the plan’s proposal to prohibit bike travel in some areas.
The proposed corridor on Chicago Avenue would
connect with a separate bike path slated to be con-structed along Sheridan Road through Northwest-ern’s campus for which Evanston received nearly $1.5 million in federal funding, Gov. Pat Quinn announced last month. The bike path will start on North Campus at Lincoln Street and will run the length of Sheridan Road and Chicago Avenue until it reaches Davis Street.
Jim Considine, the project manager, said many attendees told him they were concerned about the proposed restrictions. Of all the proposals, the restrictions were “probably the most controversial,” he said, but were suggested for certain corridors that were narrow and had heavy traffic.
“We couldn’t come up with a viable alternative,” he said.
Stuart Kipnis, a south Evanston resident who attended the workshop, said he didn’t think the proposed restrictions were necessary.
“I ride there with my son,” he said. “It’s perfectly fine.”
Although Robinson and several attendees pointed out during the workshop that those corridors were not popular ones for cyclists to begin with, most attendees still said they opposed the restrictions.
“I’m just philosophically opposed to the idea of blocking off the street to bikes,” said Natalie Wat-son, who lives on Oakton Street and has worked with Evanston150 to make the community safer for bikers.
Residents will have the opportunity to vote on the aspects of the bike plan online from May 6 through May 20.

Biden’s commencement speech in Miami emphasizes importance of immigrants to nation’s future
MIAMI — Loud cheers filled the gymna-sium of Miami Dade College’s Kendall campus Saturday morning as a stream of graduates marched across the hardwood floor donning their black gowns and caps, many decorated with glitter and stickers.
An even louder applause rocked the packed house when the Cuban flag — along with 38 other flags representing the nationalities of all 2,000 graduates — was presented.
But the most raucous roar of the morning was reserved for the commencement speaker, Vice President Joe Biden.
Biden, who introduced himself as “Jill Biden’s husband” in reference to his wife’s teaching gig at Northern Virginia Community College, apologized for being late.
He explained to the graduates from the school’s Homestead and InterAmerican cam-puses that headwinds had slowed down Air Force Two.
But before he could get to one of his major talking points — immigration reform — Biden’s speech was interrupted by a woman in the crowd screaming: “Stop deportations!” The vice president’s response came in familiar nonchalant fashion: “We’ll do that, too, kid, but let me finish my speech.”
Biden emphasized the importance of immi-grants to the future success of the country, telling the audience that “a lack of reverence for the unorthodox” and a “constant stream of new immigrants” has served the nation well in the past.
He also highlighted the cultural and ethnic diversity of the graduating class. “Many of you are children of immigrants, and many of you are the grandchildren of immigrants,” Biden said. “More than half of you speak a language other than English at home. But all of you speak the language of America — the language of courage.”
Biden, who was introduced as having “served the nation for a very long time,” a remark that drew laughs from the crowd, told the graduates that there will be more change in the next 20 years than in the past 100. “And you’ll be a part of it,” Biden said.
Aside from immigration, the vice presi-dent also stressed the need for innovation, highlighting cancer and Alzheimer’s research, real-time speech translation, and renewable energy, among other examples. “This is not hyperbole,” Biden said. “This is going to happen.”
Before concluding his speech, Biden returned to the hot-button topic of immigra-tion, once again stressing the importance of reform. “And that’s why we have to act to take 11 million people out of the shadows,” Biden said, amid loud approval from the crowd.

Across Campuses
By stephanie kellythe daily northwestern @stephaniekellym
A 10-year-old stood next to the Illinois poet laureate and before about 100 people, nervous but excited to read her poetry for the first time in public.
“Right before I did it, I felt my throat kind of dry, and I got nervous. It was really fun and excit-ing,” Rachel Gelhausen said.
The 36th annual Jo-Anne Hirshfield Memorial Poetry Awards, judged by Illinois poet laureate Kevin Stein were open to elementary, middle and high school students and unpublished adults. The more than 20 winners of the competition were invited to read their poetry aloud during a cer-emony at the Evanston Public Library.
Library director Karen Danczak Lyons said various age groups can enter to bring their love of poetry to an audience .
“Some of them continue to compete as they grow up,” Lyons said.
As the judge, Stein spoke at the event and read
selections from his own work. He said he was blown away by all the poems he discovered, espe-
cially those written by the younger contestants.“I like all of them, but the youth poems just
strike me nuts,” Stein told The Daily. “I just can’t believe that young people are so good.”
During the ceremony, Stein said poets should write for themselves and for the enjoyment that poetry brings instead of for awards. Kurt Gelhausen, Rachel’s father, said he sees that joy in his daughter.
“She just made some poems and wrote those fairly quickly over a few days, just enjoying the pro-cess, and she submitted them,” her father said.
Gelhausen said she was ecstatic to have received her honorable mention in the category for elemen-tary school students.
“When my mom told me, I really freaked out because I did it last year, and I didn’t win anything,” the fifth-grader said.
She said she was stunned when Stein was at the ceremony in person.
“I didn’t actually think he was going to show up,” Gelhausen said. “I thought it was just him choosing, so I was surprised and very, very excited that I could read in front of such an important person.”
Stein said he was thrilled he had the chance to hear the winners he picked read their work. Seeing a young person reading aloud, thinking of himself differently, is thrilling, he said. When eighth grader Max Newman read his poem about spitting, Stein said he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
“He thinks of art and verse as a medium to say pretty provocative things,” Stein said. “That’s really exciting.”

“A lot of people have family back in Korea, and I really just wanted to come let them know that they have just as much support system here as well,” Wein-berg sophomore Kevin Luong said. “It really hits home I think.”
During the vigil, attendees wore yellow ribbons around their wrists or pinned to their clothes. Korean families affected by the tragedies had used yellow ribbons as a sign of hope that their children would come home and to commemorate their loss and innocence.
Members of the crowd also held fliers passed out prior to the event that read, in Korean, “stay where you are.” These words were the instructions the crew leadership repeated over the P.A. system as the ferry sank. The flier invited people to understand the politi-cal outrage some held about the event.
Medill sophomore Hyo Jin Park organized and led the event as KASA’s president. With most of her family
living in Korea, she felt there should be an event to represent the Korean community at NU.
“When I first heard the news, the first thing that came to my mind is that I was scared that somebody I knew would be on that ship,” Park said. “And the second thought when I found out that nobody I knew, thank God, was on that ship, was what I would have felt like if somebody was there, and if something that I said last time was something insignificant as ‘Hey, I ate my lunch.’ That’s why it means so much to me.”
Park said she was surprised and touched by the turnout. She said she wanted this vigil to be associated with unity and “hope that things could be different in the future.”
“As a 20-year-old with very little life experience, I had no idea how to organize a vigil and what’s expected at a vigil,” Park said. “But I saw a lot of non-Korean faces out there and Korean faces … and I was so grateful Northwestern University cared about this and would come out on a Friday night.”

post-secondary years.NU President Morton Schapiro expressed his
support for collaboration between the Evanston schools and the university.
“We should prosper together,” Shapiro told The Daily. “We’re really trying to do that. There are a lot of people who have gone through the high school and Northwestern and to kind of bring them back and celebrate all the things that we’re doing together, that’s really town-gown.”
Cradle to Career is currently in the process of creating a steering committee to lead the entire movement, YMCA, outgoing president Bill Geiger said. This team will be in charge of communication among various participating organizations and of maintaining a centralized vision.
In promising participation, each partner that
joins will have to contribute a first-year commit-ment donation.
The initial budget is estimated at $250,000 to get the initiative off the ground. As more groups sign on, Witherspoon said more funds will pay for employees and more long-term work.
D202 is already planning to contribute $50,000, Witherspoon said. Geiger said if the board approves YMCA’s participation in the effort, he plans to rec-ommend they donate $10,000 to Cradle to Career.
Moving forward, Witherspoon said he wants at least 30 organizations to have expressed interest in participating in the initiative by June. By next year, he hopes every single Evanston organization will have signed on — an ambitious, but reachable goal, he said.
The target date for the first round of participation agreements is June 30.

Ohio State in the tournament semifinals, in which the Cats rallied from a 3-goal deficit to beat the Buckeyes, Amonte Hiller said she hoped her team was prepared for Florida after facing different game situations throughout the season.
But NU undoubtedly feels more comfortable when faced with a need to rally than when play-ing with the lead.
“We should have come up with ground balls and we didn’t,” Amonte Hiller said. “Our level of intensity and focus, when you’re down you play a lot harder. …We tried to come out like that, but in the second half we did not play like that.”
The Cats shot only four times and scored only once, a tally from Mupo in the fifth minute of the period, in the entire second half.
NU also had trouble staying poised during possessions, and Florida’s characteristically tight defense was quick to take advantage of bad passes, often forcing the Cats to throw the ball away.
After the game, the atmosphere was heavy at Lakeside Field, and both Amonte Hiller and Turner said NU only had itself to blame for let-ting the championship slip away.
“We can play with anyone,” a shaky-voiced Amonte Hiller said over the whoops and chants of a Florida celebration in the background. “The biggest issue is we tend to kill ourselves.”
Turner agreed with her coach, adding the team will shape its own destiny with NCAA Tournament first-round play looming less than a week away.
“It’s up to us to determine what we want for this team,” she said.
Friday’s game ended on a false start.With 30 seconds left in regulation of NU’s
semifinal matchup Ohio State had a free-position shot and the chance to tie the game, but the ref-erees called a false start on the second-seeded Buckeyes. The third-seeded Wildcats ran out the clock to win 9-8.
Florida bested Johns Hopkins 11-6 earlier in the day to advance to the title game.
The semifinal matchup was the second come-from-behind effort in as many weeks for the Cats, who fell short against the Gators a week prior.
Amonte Hiller said games like Friday’s — in which NU was trailing by 3 goals early in the second half — better prepare the team for pres-sure situations.
“I think this team is very tested, and I’m hop-ing that pays dividends on Sunday,” Amonte Hiller said Friday. “We’ve come from behind, we’ve gone ahead and held leads, we’ve really been in all different situations.”
After a first half full of careless passes for NU and six turnovers for both teams, it was the Wild-cats’ seniors who finally led the comeback charge in the second half. With just under 16 minutes left, it was Leonard who took over for the Cats.
The senior led the late-game attack, grab-bing 10 draws in the second half and kicking off the Cats’ 4-goal run that ate up less than four minutes.
Leonard started the run in typical fashion for the senior, winning the draw to herself and charging down field to notch what was only NU’s sixth goal at the time.
“I knew we definitely needed something to light the fire,” Leonard said Friday. “I wasn’t really looking for it, I got the ball, I came down, it was kind of like everyone just parted — there was a clear lane, so I just took what was ahead of me.”
Fellow seniors Turner and Rich contributed the other 3 goals in the hot streak — a career-high 2 for Turner, and 1 for Rich — to give the Cats a 2-goal lead, NU’s largest of the game, that would ultimately be just enough cushion for a win.
Turner and Leonard led the team with a hat trick each, and senior Kat DeRonda filled out the veteran leadership with 2 goals of her own.
Senior defender Kerri Harrington led the Cats’ at-times-sluggish defense, impressively holding off the Buckeyes for most of the game’s last 12 minutes. It was just enough to make up for Ohio State attack Katie Chase’s 5 goals on the night.
The seniors made up for quiet games from several stalwart players the Cats have come to depend on the past few games. Mupo, after scor-ing 9 goals over the past two games, posted only one shot on the evening. Junior attack Jess Car-roll only recorded a ground ball.
Leonard said her own lackluster performance in the first half, during which she only won three draws, was due to a lack of focus.
The senior said there was no conversation among the team during the second half, and of late it seems as though it simply takes NU three quarters of a game to kick its play into high gear.
“We came out a little bit flat,” Leonard said Friday. “And we kind of all just looked at each other and were just like, ‘Let’s get this thing done.’ I think we did just that.”

THE ROCK MAY 12

Northwestern closed out a productive regular season on a high note Sunday afternoon at Sharon J. Drysdale Field, finishing off a three-game sweep of Michigan State.
It was Senior Weekend for the Wild-cats (32-15, 14-9 Big Ten), marking the final regular-season home games for NU’s six seniors, Amanda Mehrsheikh, Sammy Albanese, Emily Allard, Marisa Bast, Mari Majam and Paige Tonz.
After losing three close games against Ohio State last weekend and falling to DePaul on Wednesday, the Cats righted the ship this weekend against the Spar-tans (12-36, 4-19 Big Ten).
“It was pivotal,” coach Kate Drohan said. “Especially from the mound. Our pitchers made a lot of good adjustments over the course of the three days, and it’s great to have all of them work.”
NU was on fire the first two games, knocking in 17 runs on 22 hits while sophomore Kristen Wood and fresh-man Nicole Bond allowed a combined one run.
Majam starred on Friday, knocking in 3 runs on two hits. Allard and Bast both picked up multi-hit games, while sopho-more second baseman Brianna LeBeau added her team-leading ninth home run of the season with a shot to right field. The Cats finished off the Spartans early, winning 8-0 in five innings.
The second game featured more of the same. Majam was superb again, scor-ing three times on three hits while also driving in a run. Bast was also efficient at the plate, getting a hit and twp walks and scoring three times. Bond pitched six innings and gave up only one run on four hits, striking out nine in a 9-1 victory.
Wood got the start Sunday on Senior Day and had another quality outing, pitching one of her best games of the sea-son to finish off the sweep 6-2. She picked up nine strikeouts on the day, moving into second in the Big Ten in strikeouts on the season.
The Cats’ fielders also had a near-perfect day.
Bast made multiple impressive outs on throws to first while Majam made a remarkable play of her own. After giv-ing up a leadoff home run in the top of the fourth inning, Wood struck out two before senior oufielder Sarah Bowling ripped a double to right center, bringing up outfielder Alyssa McBride. The junior singled to left field, but Majam made a perfect one-hop throw to home plate to get Bowling and end the inning.
“I liked our defense all weekend,” Drohan said. “It’s just about being ready. They played great softball pitch-to-pitch. They didn’t let anything get in the way of their focus.”
Albanese, a pitcher, had a big game for NU at the designated player spot, blast-ing a line drive home run to left field in the second inning to make the score 2-0. Drohan also inserted her to pitch the final inning as a tribute to the senior.
It was a fitting end to the regular sea-son for the Cats, especially for the six departing seniors. NU has fielded very good softball teams in recent years, but the vibe around this team is something different.
“The chemistry that we have is remarkable,” Bast said. “We really feed off one another as far as energy is concerned. We just have a ton of respect and trust in each other. It’s something that I’ve felt before but not in amounts like this.”
With Northwestern set to take on Michigan State on May 8 in the first round of the Big Ten tournament, the Cats appear locked in and ready to go.
“I really, really like this team,” Drohan said.

NU drops 2 of 3 to Michigan
By ava wallacedaily senior staffer @AvaRWallace
In the last-ever ALC champi-onship game, a 5-goal lead wasn’t enough for Northwestern to keep rival Florida at bay.
After a near-perfect first half, the No. 3 seed Wildcats let their 7-2 lead slip away as the top-seeded Gators staged a methodical comeback to win 9-8 and take home the champi-onship trophy for the second time in school history.
“We did everything wrong in the second half,” coach Kelly Amonte Hiller said. “We had the advantage, they were coming out and playing us, we just couldn’t get it done.”
Later that day, NU found out it had been awarded the No. 5 seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. The Cats will host a second-round matchup Sunday and could meet the Gators again in the quarterfinals.
The nail in the coffin for the Cats was the last two minutes of the game, when the teams were still tied 8-8 and the Gators held possession on offense for about two minutes.
Florida ran down the clock and scored with 32 seconds left, and NU ran out of time to answer with a goal of its own.
Sunday’s title game was the sec-ond time the Cats and the Gators played on Lakeside Field this season. The first meeting, on April 19 during the regular season, also ended in a one-goal Florida victory.
Though the regular season game saw a slow start from the Cats, NU was quick out of the gate Sunday. Senior attack Christy Turner scored off an assist from draw control spe-cialist Alyssa Leonard less than 90 seconds into the game, and the Cats kept possession for most of the half after that.
NU outshot Florida 13-7 and turned the ball over only three times during the first half, when the Gators’ defense was giving the Cats more room to play on offense
and NU executed its patient, stalk-and-strike possession game to perfection.
Leonard also won seven draws to Florida’s three, and she and junior
attack Kara Mupo led the team with a pair of goals apiece going into half-time. Turner and fellow seniors Kate Macdonald and Kelly Rich accounted for the team’s other three scores.
The second half was when the Cats shut off.
After Friday night’s victory over
By alex Puttermandaily senior staffer @AlexPutt02
A rough season isn’t getting any bet-ter for Northwestern.
The Wildcats (13-31, 5-15 Big Ten) dropped two of three to Michigan (22-25-1, 11-10) over the weekend at Rocky Miller Park, winning the first game 5-3 before dropping the last two 18-6 and 5-3.
Sunday’s loss was especially tough to swallow, as the Wolverines plated two runs in the ninth inning to break a 3-3 tie.
“They battled,” coach Paul Stevens said. “That’s all I can ask them to do. We hit the ball hard a lot. We just hap-pened to have some plays that went against us.”
Two days before Sunday’s loss, the Cats started the weekend strong.
On Friday, senior pitcher Nick Friar allowed 3 runs over the first two innings but settled down thereafter. The Cats did all their damage in a 5-run third that included an RBI triple from junior designated hitter Luke Dauch and a 2-run home run from freshman left fielder Joe Hoscheit.
“I was just trying to hit the ball hard,” Hoscheit said. “I had been kind of off here and there, but I squared that one up. And that gave me some confidence throughout the weekend. ... That felt really good to put the team on top.”
Friar, making his first career Big Ten start, lasted through the seventh, allow-ing five hits and four walks while strik-ing out four Michigan batters. Senior Jack Quigley came on for the final two innings to close a 5-3 Cats’ victory.
Saturday didn’t play out quite as hap-pily for NU.
The Wolverines homered on the game’s third batter and scored 9 runs in the first inning on their way to an 18-6 thrashing.
NU junior Brandon Magallones started the game and lasted five innings, allowing a total of 12 runs, 11 earned, in easily his worst game of the season.
Senior reliever Ethan Bramschreiber couldn’t settle Michigan’s bats either, ceding 6 more runs in 2 1/3 innings pitched.
In total, the Wolverines launched
three home runs, and the Cats were blown out despite two hits from junior second baseman Scott Heelan.
NU took a 3-1 first-inning lead Sun-day but couldn’t add to it, as Michigan tied the game with runs in the fourth and fifth. The Cats coaxed seven innings out of sophomore starter Reed Mason, who pitched into and out of trouble several times. In the seventh, Hoscheit gunned down a Michigan runner at the plate to preserve the 3-3 deadlock.
But two innings later, the Wolverines broke through against Quigley. With the bases loaded and one out, Michi-gan’s Jacob Cronenworth slapped a ground ball past Heelan’s glove to drive home what would prove to be the win-ning runs.
It was a difficult play for Heelan, a catcher by trade, who was playing in on the grass in hopes of a force at home.
“At the end of the day, I’ll probably relive that a couple times,” Heelan said. “It was out of my reach, but it’s still always tough to swallow. Quigley and Mason both went out and threw their hearts out, so it’s always a shame when you can’t make a big play for them.”
With Cronenworth in to close for the Wolverines, the Cats went down in order to pick up the loss.
The weekend downgraded NU’s already unlikely postseason hopes to near impossible. In order to qualify for the Big Ten Tournament, the last-place Cats would have to sweep Ohio State in their last conference series of the year and hope for losses from other teams ahead of them in the standings.
“We have a lot to play for still,” Heelan said. “There’s a lot of pride when we’re able to play for each other, our coaches, our families. We’re going to finish the year strong and just enjoy it.”
