From break-dancing to crowd-surfing, Northwestern students at the One Voice Benefit Concert weren’t shy about getting down for a good cause.
Hip-hop Disc Jockey RJD2 and mash-up duo The Hood Internet performed to a sold-out crowd of al-most 600 students in Norris Univer-sity Center’s Louis Room on Friday night as part of this year’s concert.
“There has always been a music element (to One Voice), as a way of bringing everyone together on cam-pus,” said Programming Chair Aditi
Srinivasan, a Weinberg junior.The concert, co-sponsored by
A&O productions, also featured DJ Clash Gordon, Music ’08. Tick-ets for undergraduate students were $5 and $10 for graduate stu-dents and faculty.
Although doors opened at 7 p.m., Gordon didn’t take the stage until
after 7:30 p.m., and students were still filing in by the time RJD2 be-gan his set over an hour later.
In a set that lasted more than an hour, RJD2 spun soul and funk alongside hip-hop and pop, pull-ing records from a backpack as

A new Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences policy will allow stu-dents to pursue up to two minors, with the total number of majors and minors not exceeding three. Previ-ously, students were only able to complete one minor, said Mary Finn, the Weinberg associate dean for un-dergraduate academic affairs.
“It goes back to the ’90s,” Finn said. “There was a concern on the part of the faculty that students would spend all their time racking up majors rather than taking classes they were interested in.”
Students will now be able to work toward either one major and two mi-nors, or two majors and one minor, she said.
“Given how many minors we’ve added to the curriculum we decided that maybe the old rule didn’t make sense,” she said.
The new policy is more fair, said Weinberg sophomore Lauren Hild.
“If someone is able to have two majors, which requires more classes and time, then someone should have the capability to have two minors,” she said.
Hild, an English literature major, was going to have to choose between the cross-genre writing minor and the Business Institutions minor.
“It’s good news for me because neither of the minors I wanted were available as majors, so I would have had to pick one,” she said. “This made it all easier.”
Weinberg’s most popular minor, the Business Institutions Program, may see a boost in enrollment, Pro-gram Director Mark Witte said. Currently, there are 659 BIP mi-nors, although many students often enroll to preregister for BIP courses,
he said.“Some courses are extremely
popular and hard to get into if you aren’t a declared minor,” he said. “If students are closed out of classes they need to take, we may need to add to our curriculum.”
The new policy will not only en-courage students to explore more varied interests, but it will also help programs with low enrollment, Finn said.
“We imagine that for some smaller programs, like foreign lan-guage minors, it will help them be-cause students won’t have to choose,” she said.
Prof. Licheng Gu, director of the Chinese Language and Culture mi-nor, said the new rule will give stu-dents more freedom.
“It’s a great decision because it gives students more flexibility,” he said. “In the past, there have been several cases where students couldn’t minor in something like Chinese

For Lillianna Franco, moving from the predominantly Hispanic commu-nity of Cicero, Ill. to Evanston for col-lege was a tough transition, she said.
“It was very hard to take in at first,” the Communica-tion sophomore said. “I thought, ‘Oh my God, I’m in a com-
plete culture shock.’” Now an intern for the Multicul-
tural Student Affairs office, Franco is
helping other students break out of their cultural comfort zones. At the conference “Beyond Boundaries: A Global Approach to Leadership and Inclusive Excellence at NU,” held at Norris University Center on Saturday, about 25 students gathered with ad-ministrators to discuss diversity on campus and in society. The event was co-sponsored by Multicultural Stu-dent Affairs, University Residential Life, Norris and the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs.
“The goal of the conference was to introduce the idea of diversity and in-clusion to the campus community,” said Carretta Cooke, executive direc-tor of MSA. “We need to pay very close
attention to the cultural differences we all bring to the educational experi-ence on campus.”
The conference featured three keynote speakers and a number of workshops on the value of including diverse voices in campus and commu-nity conversations. Participants dis-cussed the concept of “inclusive excel-
lence,” a theory that relates to embrac-ing cultural differences.
Vice President for Student Affairs William Banis said while numbers are up for African American and Hispanic students in the class of 2013, NU stu-dent life can still seem divided.
“So many groups on campus are exclusive by nature, the Greek com-
munity, honor societies,” he said. “The question is, ‘How do we move toward inclusion on campus?’”
Banis detailed NU’s successes and failures in a number of studies related to diversity on campus. In one study, NU was ranked “most respectful of

Unattended laptop snatched from North Tower of library
Someone left a laptop unattended in the University Library on Thursday. It didn’t stay there for long.
During a 45-minute lunch break, a man left his laptop on a desk on the sec-ond f loor of the North Tower, Univer-sity Police Asst. Chief Dan McAleer said.
A male who appeared to be a student was sitting nearby, the laptop owner later told police.
When the complainant returned at approximately 2 p.m., both the laptop and the young man were gone.
McAleer said he did not know if the laptop owner, 36, is affiliated with NU.
Police have no leads or suspects.
Mountain bike stolen from outside of Kellogg building
A thief swiped a bike Thursday out-side the Kellogg School of Management building, police said.
The incident occurred between 1:50 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. outside the Donald P. Jacobs Center, at the intersections of Sheridan and Foster roads, McAleer said.
The owner was unsure if the bike had been locked.
The bicycle was an orange special-ized mountain bike, McAleer said. The complainant was unable to provide po-lice with a serial number.

Evanston is once again gaining national recognition as a great place to live.
Last week t he cit y was ranked by Forbes magazine as the 18th best town to “live well” in.
The rankings are based on data from ZoomProspector.com, a San Francisco-based consulting firm that evaluates re-gions of the country with populations of less than 100,000 people.
Characteristics considered in the rank-
ings included cultural and entertainment attractions and indicative measures of a “favorable business environment.” These business evaluat ions included patents, venture capita l funding, star t-ups and small businesses per capita. Evanston’s median income of $70,274 was also con-sidered.
Mayor Lorraine Morton said numerous organizations in the community and op-portunities to get involved are attractions of the city.
“Of course (Evanston) deserves this,” she said. “This is a very benevolent commu-nity, and we have more organizations here that support people who are in need or have new ideas of doing something. People who come here actually like it because they can do something. They don’t want to be pas-
sive.”Eva nston ha s won severa l s imi la r
awards in the past, including being named one of the top-50 best small U.S. cities for start-ups by BusinessWeek magazine last month.
Students were divided on whether they agreed with the most recent ranking.
Weinberg sophomore Cameron Lee said he enjoys a lot of what the city has to offer.
“It’s a very eclectic town between the university and the town itself,” he said. “It’s a good town, and there’s good food.”
The article praises Evanston for its prox-imity to both Northwestern and Chicago and its “world-class businesses.”
Weinberg freshman Rachel Elwood said Evanston deserves its ranking, especially for its various boutiques.
“I think it ’s really cool because for a college town, it’s really safe,” she said. “I really like that it’s quiet, but it’s still close to a big city.”
However, some students said they do not agree with this ranking.
“I think it ’s a litt le exaggerated, put nicely,” McCormick freshman Trisha Bak-shi said. “I mean, it’s a nice place, but re-ally, 18? I would have given it 50.”
Bakshi said there is little diversity in the town compared to where she grew up.
“Obviously, it’s safe and the location is good, but I just feel I wouldn’t want to grow up here personally,” she said. “There’s not that much to do.”
Evanston ranks 18th in Forbes’ list of townsπ The ranking, which compiled the best towns to “live well” in, noted the city’s proximity to NU and Chicago
Student models showed off clothes from local stores at the Unity Fashion Show on Sunday evening. Ap-proximately 120 people attended the second annual fashion show, held in the Louis Room at Norris Uni-versity Center. “Our goal is to make the show big-ger and better each year,” said Ted Seo, one of the event’s co-producers and co-founders. In addition to the runway walks, Deeva Dance Troupe, Purple Haze
and Chicago hip hop singer Reign performed. With a dozen co-sponsoring groups, the show helped bring multicultural groups together to raise money for a common cause, Seo, a McCormick senior, said. This year, $600 in event proceeds will be donated to Proj-ect HOPE, an international organization dedicated to improving healthcare worldwide.

An Evanston blood substitute producer has laid off most of its staff and faces an un-certain future, the company said Friday. Last month, the Food and Drug Administration denied approval for the company’s sole prod-uct, PolyHeme.
Northfield Laboratories Inc., 1560 Sher-man Ave., has been developing the blood sub-stitute for more than 20 years. PolyHeme
lasts far longer than blood and is compatible with all blood types, the company has adver-tised.
Although studies have shown PolyHeme to be less safe than blood, Northfield said it could save lives in war zones and other re-mote areas where other transfusions are not available.
Northfield received good news from the FDA in December, when the agency said it would either approve or deny PolyHeme by the end of April. At the time, the company
had only enough money to keep operating through May, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Northfield stock prices jumped 130 per-cent after the announcement.
But when the FDA reported its findings in April, the agency refused to grant Northfield approval to begin marketing PolyHeme. The FDA told the company “the risk:benefit as-sessment of the product in trauma is unfavor-able,” Northfield said in an April 30 press re-lease.
On April 9, Northfield announced it lost
$6.3 million dollars in the third quarter of the 08-09 fiscal year. The company lost $4.8 mil-lion in the same quarter of the previous year.
In a press release Friday, Northfield an-nounced the dismissal of nearly all of its em-ployees.
The company stopped short, however, of saying it was closing entirely.
“The company is evaluating future op-tions,” it said.

Byrne and Joyce Piven founded the Piven Theatre Workshop in Evanston 35 years ago, and it still serves the Chicago acting community today as both a theater and training center.
“(Piven) offers so much to not only Ev-anston but the city of Chicago, in terms of mentoring artists, actors, directors and playwrights,” said Jennifer Green, artistic director at Piven, 927 Noyes St.
Across the street from Al ’s Deli sits a large brick building partially shaded by leafy trees. The building, the Noyes Cul-tural Arts Center, holds several other arts organizations along with Piven.
Henry Godinez, artistic associate at the Goodman Theatre and a Northwestern as-sociate professor, called it an invaluable training program.
“Piven is more serious than some other training centers,” he said. “(It’s) not about a lot of theatrical fireworks; it’s about hon-esty.”
Godinez said he spent a lot of time with the Piven crowd over the years. He worked with Co-founder Byrne Piven on voice-over training when they shared a talent
agent in the 1980s and used to play softball with famous actor Jeremy Piven (son of the founding pair), from the HBO series “En-tourage,” and John Cusack.
The husband-and-wife duo of Joyce and Byrne Piven helped found the Play-wrights Theatre, a Chicago group that went on to create Compass Players and Second City.
Jodi Gottberg, the theater’s executive assistant, came to Piven from Columbia College. She found out about the theater when her f r iends at tended one of it s shows.
Gottberg said the theater’s roots in Sec-ond City and the Compass Players had a role in cultivating a high-quality work-shop.
“It’s an equity theater of a professional grade, so it’s not a storefront,” she said.
The theater offers classes for fourth- to eighth-grade students, high school stu-dents and adults. Subjects include puppets and masks, improvisation and musical the-ater.
Green (Communication ’93) launched her career at the local theater with an in-ternship during her time as an NU stu-dent. Soon after, she started teaching and directing.
Green, who worked closely with co-founder Joyce Piven, said Piven’s creative vision, coupled with her experience at dif-ferent theaters nationwide, helped to make the Piven Theatre a house of artistic men-torship.
Her most poignant memories of the the-ater include acting in “Sadie in Love,” which Joyce Piven directed, and directing a show of “Great Expectations,” in which the co-founder acted.
“Joyce hadn’t acted on the Piven stage in years, and it was great that she took the risk to take off the hat,” Green said. “I think we really have a great artistic part-nership.”
Green sa id this type of mentor ing, where the student can become the teacher, distinguishes Piven from other theaters in the Chicago area.
“Piven Theatre is an incubator of tal-ent,” she said. “We make efforts to having and creating and underpinning an entire artistic community so that yes, we’re an equity theater putting on fantastic original plays and reworked classics, but we also have a really vital wing in terms of our training center.”

Letter: May 11, 1979 Rally against the draft
Civil protest has always been a fundamental component of American birth and growth. The revolution, civil rights and America’s involve-ment in Vietnam are prime examples. In these and other cases, Americans did not accept the mandate of their governmental leaders. They knew what was wrong and sought to effect change through their own ways.
Another threat to American freedom and pur-pose is due to come before our congressmen for consideration next Tuesday. The nine draft bills are unnecessary and set a bad precedent for mili-tarism in this country. During a time of peace, with no hostilities being directed against us, there is no reason to reinstate military coercion.
Many people are opposed to the draft, each for their own reasons. Tomorrow there will be an anti-draft rally at Becky Crown. This is not only for students but open to people of all ages and persuasions. It is patriotic to demonstrate your beliefs. Show your concern at the rally tomorrow.

Editorial: May 11, 1989Nothing new
The six-point minority faculty-hiring guide-lines announced over the weekend by University President Arnold Weber say nothing new.
Sure, this is the most the administration has said about the dearth of black faculty on campus. But the guidelines don’t say how the university will implement the plan, especially because part of the problem is beyond Northwestern’s control – namely, the scarcity of black faculty.
As part of the guidelines, issued after a May 1 meeting with For Members Only, NU’s primary black student group, Weber urged a stronger commitment to minority faculty hiring at NU.
Among action prescribed by the guidelines NU must take agressive steps to expand the pool
of potential black faculty members; the university will establish annual targets for hiring; it will pro-vide special incentives, including additional space, to help achieve hiring goals; and it will help de-velop a long-range plan for black representation in its faculty and administration.
It’s great that NU realizes that more needs to be done to add to the university’s 25 black instruc-tors. But until the university can regularly attract prospective black faculty these guidelines only re-peat what already has been said.
The real challenge now is to put these guide-lines to work.
Letter: May 11, 1999 Minority recruiters work to attract quality students
Hiring minority recruiters is reverse dis-crimination and preferential? I don’t think so. Thirty-one years ago, when the African Ameri-can Studies department and the Department of African-American student affairs was founded, the University made a committment to 10 per-cent enrollment of African-American students. Right now it is only about 6.7 percent. While I am not sure of the exact figures for Hispanic students or other minorities, I do know that the enrollment for those students are increasing at a faster rate than African-Americans.
When I was a senior in high school going to the college fairs in my neighborhood, which was predominantly black, representatives for Ivy League and prestigious schools were ab-sent. If I hadn’t had previous exposure to Northwestern through a summer program I at-tended here, I probably would never had heard of Northwestern, and a few of my class-mates wouldn’t have either.
Hiring minority recruiters is not preferen-tial treatment or reverse discrimination. It is a step toward leveling the playing field and it is one long overdue step.

This Wednesday, Student Blood Services will be hosting a blood drive in Norris. I was told, when I attempted to give blood two years
ago, that I could not do so because I had spent too much time outside of the United States. Since I have spent more than five years cumulatively over the course of my life out of this country, it is statistically more likely that I would have contracted foot and mouth disease.
While I’m pretty sure I would know by now if I had mad cow disease, and don’t feel like I’ve spent enough time on cow farms in Europe to have contracted it, my living in the region of the world in which the disease was most prevalent when it first broke out makes it reasonable for me to be precluded from donating blood.
However, the FDA policy which bans men who sleep with men from donating blood does not seem reasonable to me.
The FDA says, “Men who have had sex with other men, at any time since 1977 (the beginning of the AIDS epidemic in the United States) are currently deferred as blood donors. This is because MSM are, as a group, at increased risk for HIV, Hepatitis B and certain other infections that can be transmitted by transfusion.”
This policy was passed in 1985 in re-sponse to panic surrounding the outbreak of the AIDS epidemic – which, yes, spread initially very quickly in the gay male popu-lation. I do not mean to suggest this policy wasn’t a necessary precaution to a real medical danger in 1985, but the policy was reviewed in 2007 – when the FDA decided to retain the ban.
At one time, when our knowledge of AIDS was less concrete and technology to test for HIV remained far more limited, this policy made sense. However, the policy as it stands now is only substantiated by the ste-reotype that gay men are promiscuous and spread HIV. It is inappropriate to retain a policy based on such a stereotype – one that in itself is a defacement of the gay male population – when policymakers have ac-cess to an extensive body of scientific re-search showing the remarkable efficacy of blood donor screening technology.
Current blood donor screening technol-ogy can detect accurately and precisely if blood is HIV-positive at the earliest stages of infection. Admittedly, the most current blood donor testing technology is still vul-nerable to a three-week ‘window period’ af-ter infection during which the HIV virus would not be detected. However, today that ‘window’ is now a matter of days – not years.
Moreover, HIV infection is no longer a problem limited to the gay community. There is no reason to not install a one-month ban on donation after engaging in any kind of risky sexual behavior to avoid this window period, after which the HIV virus would be detected.
The current FDA policy does not distin-guish between gay men who engage in risky sexual behavior and those who are in stable, monogamous relationships. This blanket categorization of gay men as pro-miscuous is not only discriminatory, but also unnecessary.
Since its inception, blood donation has become an integral part of the American medical system. With Americans getting increasing numbers of procedures requir-ing blood transfusions – such as bypass surgeries, c-sections and joint replace-ments – an increasing demand is placed on the blood donation system. The risk that on any given day, a patient may not have access to the blood they need is in-creasingly high.
So, please give blood on Wednesday. And when you do, think of the substantial segment of the population who can’t.

High hopes for campaign
camPus waTch
Your fellow students are ready to listen. Northwestern students are taking a new approach to campus engagement and community-
building, taking it to the streets to listen to students’ real concerns. Rather than assume they can create “one Northwest-ern” from scratch with purple t-shirts or directly engage their fellow students with fancy buzzwords, the listening campaign will hopefully bring what the student or-ganizers promise - a frank dialogue about NU’s problems and their potential solu-tions.
The NU Listening Campaign was born from a Northwestern Community Develop-ment Corps-sponsored organizer’s training held April 17-18. President Barack Obama’s campaign gave community organizing “a new kind of sexy appeal” – the NU organizers’ training attempted to tap into that enthusi-asm and energy. Equipped with the tools and the desire to affect change, six students de-cided to assess the most salient issues and problems of the NU community and then – hopefully – try to lobby the administration and other decision makers to fix them.
As a coalition of a number of student groups, including NCDC, Organized Action by Students Invested in Society, Students for Ecological and Environmental Develop-ment, College Democrats and Students for Obama, the results of Northwestern Listen-ing Campaign will not be limited to a certain subsection of NU’s population. Last week’s barrage of listserv e-mails from every which corner of campus can attest to that.
Furthermore, NCDC’s involvement will bring another dimension to the initiative. While the volunteer corps’ primary agenda is service in the Evanston and Chicago communities, NCDC can do its part for the NU community itself. By turning inward, NCDC can put its scores of student volun-teers to use and will likely help cultivate a student body that will be more inclined to community service in the future.
As incoming President Morton Scha-piro assumes his role in that spacious of-fice in the Rebecca Crown Center, there will undoubtedly be a number of student leaders and organizations jockeying for his attention. If the NU listening cam-paign is effective, its recommendations should be high on his agenda.
When the listening campaign’s report hits his desk next year – or reaches his e-mail in the coming months – what might it say? What might it reflect about us, where we are and where we intend to be?
Diversity will be a big issue. So will a new Norris. Better food in the dining halls, universal Internet access, more Saf-eRides could all come up, too.
The survey strives to answer some more nebulous questions, and with good reason: What are our values and passions? What does each student have to offer? How can each student make an impact? The survey could go a long way to address our deep-seated issues with the administration – by teasing out what each student can offer, the administration can make us feel more like valued students than numbers in a ledger, more like human beings than chips to be shuffled from one dorm to another.
Let’s hope that this listening campaign is that and more – not a forced attempt at engagement, but an effort to reach out and make a real impact in the here and now.

DayM�� 30
By BEN GEiErthe daily northwestern
While she lacks the long tenure of some of her colleagues, the impact of Ald. Anjana Han-sen’s (9th) retirement will still be felt by the city council.
“It wasn’t an easy decision,” Hansen said of her retirement after a single term.
In January, Hansen cited her increasingly hectic work schedule and time-consuming fam-ily commitments as reasons for stepping down.
Though Hansen only served one term on the city council, she has been involved in Evanston public service for longer.
Before she joined the council, Hansen and a group of her neighbors in the 9th ward formed a neighborhood watch group. She credited the experience as one of the inspirations for run-ning for city council.
Residents elected Hansen, then 32, in 2005, following the retirement of Gene Feldman. She said that in addition to her previous public ser-
vice, the existence of a single candidate spurred her to put her name on the ballot.
“I wanted to give the voters of the 9th ward a choice,” she said.
Hansen defeated Mimi Peterson by a mar-gin of 783 votes to 700 – the smallest margin that year.
Though she was initially quiet, Hansen grew into a vocal and influential alderman, said retir-ing Mayor Lorraine Morton.
“She’s not contentious,” Morton said. “She just says what she thinks.”
Hansen’s youth was also important, Mor-ton said.
“I have a lot of fun with Alderman Hansen,” she said. “I call her ‘the young one.’”
Hansen has also gained the respect of the citizens she worked with during her time on the council.
Her replacement, Alderman-elect Coleen Burrus, worked with Hansen on the Commu-nity Development Committee.
“She does a really good job of doing her
homework,” Burrus said.Burrus received Hansen’s endorsement on
the way to her victory.Hansen is a graduate of St. Norbert College
and John Marshall Law School. She has been a Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney for more than a decade.
Her time as an alderman has affected the way she thinks about her “day job” as a county employee, she said.
“It’s changed my perspective on how I view city government,” she said.
One positive change has been “knowing the answers, or explaining that things aren’t as im-portant as people think they are,” she said.
One of Hansen’s more controversial votes in her time on the council was her decision to sup-port the passage of the Downtown Plan and her approval of the 708 Church St. “Tower.”
Burrus, by contrast, was part of the Plan Commission and was against both of these votes. Still, they appeared at events together during Burrus’ campaign.
“Even though we disagree on this, there’s plenty of other things we do agree on,” Burrus said. “I think she’s a good person.”
Hansen said she wants to continue to serve Evanston in various capacities. She plans to remain on the Community Development Committee, and wants to help Ald. Ann Rainey (8th) plan “Bike the Ridge” this fall. She said she also does not rule out future runs for elected office.
When she looks back at her time on the council, Hansen said it was difficult to pinpoint one thing as her greatest achievement.
“They’ve all put a smile on my face,” she said. “They all make me proud that I’ve been able to influence the Evanston community in one way or another.”
Editor’s Note: The Daily will profile all three re-tiring Evanston aldermen before they officially leave their posts on May 11.
Ald. Hansen retires after single term on council
Michael Blake talks about inclusion, ObamaBy KatiE GluEcK
the daily northwestern
Five years out of Northwestern and Michael Blake, Medill ‘04, is already working at the White House. He spoke at a conference on embracing cultural diversity at the Norris University Center on Saturday. Before his speech, he sat down with The Daily to discuss inclusion, his NU experience and what President Obama is like off-camera.
Daily: That’s a long title. What does it mean?Michael Blake: Intergovernmental affairs
means engaging with non-congressional elected officials, especially at the state level, to connect them with other parts of the Administration. Our first responsibility is promoting and communicat-ing the President’s agenda and discussing how el-ements of his agenda can be implemented, ap-
plied and beneficial for their constituencies. Pub-lic liaison means working with constituent groups. My main role is African American outreach.
D: You’ve only been out of college five years, and you’re already working in the White House. How did that happen?
MB: This is all God. I wasn’t afraid to try something new, and politics is my passion. I re-ally believe that when politics and public service are done right, there’s no better way to help peo-ple. (By) 2007, I was working on the President’s campaign. I worked hard, and people took no-tice. I’m humbled that they thought enough of me, that I could do this job well despite my “young” (makes quote marks in the air) age. I got a call in late December, early January, saying they were interested. On January 22, (a senior staffer) called, saying “Welcome to the White House.” It’s hard to believe still.
D: How did your experience at Northwestern prepare you for a job in the White House?
MB: A Northwestern education allowed me a wide range of opportunities to become devel-oped mentally, emotionally, culturally, and it gave me some leadership opportunities.
D: What’s President Obama really like?MB: He’s as real as he seems on TV. That’s
him, a brilliant man who is funny, warm. He’s a visionary. He really believes in this, and it’s con-tagious for the rest of us. To be able to see him and that he believed in this, to see the impact of his words on people, that was very powerful.
D: You’re speaking at a conference about “in-clusive excellence.” What does that mean to you?
MB: It’s getting as many differing opinions and thoughts as possible. When we do that, we give ourselves a better chance of addressing ev-eryone’s needs.
D: What does that look like, practically speak-ing?
MB: Well, the President just did a meeting about educational reform with the Rev. Al Sharp-ton, former (House) Speaker Newt Gingrich and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. It was un-der the premise, as Sharpton put it, of “unlikely allies.”
D: How did the meeting go?MB: It was fantastic. One of the points is un-
derstanding we may not agree even after we talk, but talking at least gives us a better chance of un-derstanding (each other). And if we can under-stand the impact of our decisions (on others), that will make us more sensitive to the impact of other decisions toward that group and other groups of people.

NRA lawsuit against Evanston remains pendingBy MargarEt rhodES
the daily northwestern
Evanston members of the National Rifle Association are still waiting on a final decision in their lawsuit against the City of Evanston regarding the ban on handguns.
Three local NRA members filed the com-plaint in June after the Supreme Court’s Dis-trict of Columbia v. Heller decision, which found Washington’s D.C.’s handgun ban un-constitutional. After the decision, the city amended the handgun code to allow for fire-arm possessions within a residence, according to a memo from the district judge on April 27. This was met with an amended complaint from the NRA members, who cited problems with not being able to transport handguns.
Stephen Halbrook, an attorney who repre-sents the NRA and specializes in firearms law, said the proposed change to the ban was not satisfactory.
“That doesn’t go far enough; there’s no practical way to get (a handgun) to there or from there,” he said. “We have NRA members who pass through. They cannot do that legally.
They would have to divert where the transport firearms lawfully.”
The city is not enforcing the handgun ban while the case is proceeding, and local NRA members are probably not exercising any new rights because of the standing restrictions, Halbrook said.
“The problem is (the plaintiffs) are law-abiding people, so they don’t have any guns in their homes,” he said. “You couldn’t have it for any motive other than self-defense, you couldn’t use it for hunting or take it from the home to get it repaired or to go to a shooting range.”
The case, brought by Jonathan Garber, Alan Miller and Kevin Stanton, immediately fol-lowed Heller. The City of Evanston initially made a motion to dismiss the complaint and a district judge rendered an order denying the motion.
Ald. Steven Bernstein (4th) said the lawsuit is ongoing.
“We modified the ordinance. We thought we would be out of a lawsuit and we’re not,” he said. Bernstein declined further comment.
While members of the NRA are not orga-
nized into chapters by city, they form an active community, said Todd Vandermyde, an NRA lobbyist. Events and issues bring members of the nonprofit organization together on occa-sion, such as the lawsuit against the City of Ev-anston.
“Usually if there’s something going at a lo-cal level we will contact members and set up a meeting saying ‘Here’s what’s happening in the community, how do you want to take ac-tion on it?’” he said. Otherwise they host fre-quent fundraisers, dinners and firearm safety training events and might belong to gun clubs.
The plaintiffs in the case against Evanston are longtime members of the NRA, Vander-myde said.
Halbrook said the case against Evanston was a matter of exercising the Second Amend-ment right to bear arms.
“The result would be very tangible,” he said. “The members could legally keep hand-guns in their home, but the case is more about the legal issues and not practical issues.”

Red Mango unveils new flavor, new branch to open in Lincoln Park
An Evanston frozen yogurt retailer is ex-panding – in locations and flavors.
Red Mango, 809 Davis St., introduced a new flavor, Tangomonium, on May 2, and it’s prepar-ing to open a new location near Lincoln Park.
Company executives chose the name for the new flavor to emphasize the “fun” nature of the flavor, Manager Jeff Shin said.
“It has definitely turned into our most asked-for flavor,” Manager Halid Mohammed said. “It’s new, so people want to stop by and try it.”
It’s the second flavor launched this year - the store unveiled Pomegranate last fall.
To launch Tangomonium, the store gave free yogurt with toppings between noon and 4 p.m. on May 2.
A similar promotion will be offered when Red Mango opens a new store near Lincoln Park later this month.
“We usually give free yogurts at grand open-ings of stores,” Shin said.
Red Mango opened in Evanston last year.Based on the premise of serving simple and
nutritious plain nonfat yogurt with fresh top-pings, such as sliced fruit, the company boasts its all-natural approach and low caloric value – 90 calories per serving.
At the Evanston opening, the store offered free yogurt as a lure. Employees reported lines
stretched outside the packed store, but custom-ers who want their Red Mango didn’t seem to mind.
“I only learned of the free yogurt after the fact,” said Music sophomore Rachel Waxman, “But I probably would have waited in line. I like that it’s different than ice cream and has a dif-ferent taste.”
The concept is especially popular with col-lege students and the “organic” personality of Evanston, employees added.
“Loyal fans to the original yogurt flavor still make it the number-one seller,” Shin said. “Maybe Tangomonium can rival it though. I like (all the flavors), but I think it’s my favorite right now.”

culture because they had another minor al-ready.”
The Chinese Language and Culture minor currently has 40 students enrolled, and Gu said he hopes the new rule will increase enrollment.
But some program directors are doubtful.S. Hollis Clayson, director of the Alice Ka-
plan Institute for the Humanities , said she is unsure the new policy will encourage students to pursue a humanities minor. No students are currently enrolled right now, according to the Institute’s department assistant.
“That’s both a very congenial assessment and encouraging perspective,” Clayson said. “I hope (Finn’s) optimism bodes true. We haven’t had much interest in the program.”
If the new policy increases interest in mi-nors across the board, it also may create chal-lenges for larger programs, said Devora
Grynspan, the director of International Pro-gram Development and assistant to the presi-dent for international programs .
The Global Health minor was created in 2004 and has grown to include about 285 stu-dents, Grynspan said.
“I worry that more minors would require us to hire more visiting professors to teach addi-tional courses,” Grynspan said. “We’d like to do it because it extends the reach of global health, but it has budgetary implications.”
The Global Health program not only re-quires a certain number of courses, but students must go abroad as well. NU has international study programs in Mexico, China, France, Uganda and South Africa, and most are already full, she said.
“If the impact increases our own global health population too drastically, then we would have to see how to handle the demand,” she said. “We may have to create more programs
abroad which requires more money.”Weinberg freshman Jonathan Schwartz said
the new rule will allow him to study what he’s interested in — without sacrificing degree re-quirements.
“There are two types of students who come to Northwestern,” he said. “Some have a pre-professional focus and know what their major is when they come in, and other students are less sure because there are so many different things they want to do. And I’m the second one.”
Schwartz, who said he hopes to major in po-litical science and minor in BIP and film stud-ies, said the double minor is an opportunity for exploration.
“It’s great because there comes a point where you can only take so many classes before you start worrying about your major,” he said.

cultural differences,” he said.“When folks say NU is going to hell in a hand
basket, it’s not true,” Banis said. “But we haven’t reached a state of inclusive excellence yet.”
Banis suggested the university continue to support inclusive classroom conversations and student groups like oNe Northwestern .
“We’ve seen a coalescence this year,” he said. “Students are saying they want a more inclusive Northwestern. We’ve made a sub-stantial investment this quarter through many conversations about inclusion and di-versity. We need to keep those conversations continuous.”
Michael Blake , deputy associate director of the office of intergovernmental affairs and public liaison for the Obama White House, also emphasized the need to make a variety of voices heard.
“Despite our different purposes, we have to unite as a people, which is the point of this con-ference,” said Blake, Medill ’04 .
Blake, 26 , outlined his vision for a more inclusive world in the closing keynote. He said he envisioned the end of discrimination and a time when religious differences could be accepted and appreciated. Blake also dis-cussed the importance of health care, educa-tion and green energy investments.
“There are so many problems, but we can see them as opportunities for a new world, a new vision,” he said.
Blake told participants they shouldn’t wait to start bringing people together.
“If you have a new vision for a new world, then you’ll see the fruit of this conference,” he said. “If you really believe in something, you don’t have to wait to step beyond the boundaries.”

students danced. A video playing behind him looped various revamped clips from films and television shows, ranging from ’70s Bollywood cinema to Adult Swim’s Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Addressing the crowd, RJD2 was answered with a wave of enthusiasm as students chanted his name.
“I love Chicago, and I’m not just saying that,” he said. “It’s got f***in’ good food, intelligentsia, the best coffee in the world and my mom.”
Many students left at the end of RJD2’s set, leaving The Hood Internet with a much smaller crowd.
Weinberg sophomore Lauren Davis , who left after RJD2’s performance, said she thought the concert was “too slow.”
“It feels like a church social every time I go into the Louis Room,” Davis said.
Weinberg freshman Varun Kejriwal came for RJD2 but stayed for The Hood In-ternet and said he found the event unique.
“It’s not just some guy playing his great-est hits,” he said. “It’s more about the mu-sic playing and the video.”
The Hood Internet played until 11 p.m. They ended their set by thanking the audi-ence with high-fives.
Profits for the concert will go to UNICEF and By the Hand , a Chicago after-school program. One Voice, which is comprised of
several cultural and philanthropic NU stu-dent groups, chose primary education for children as their cause this year and hosted fundraising and educational events through-out the year to raise awareness on campus about their cause, members said.
Weinberg freshman Matt Yetter said while he wasn’t familiar with One Voice’s beneficiaries, he supported their cause.
“(A concert) is far more likely to get people to donate than selling ribbons in the dining hall,” he said.
Srinivasan said she thought the event was a success.
“I think it ’s definitely important the people go and have fun – the point is to bring people together,” she said. “But if this event has raised the profile of One Voice, that’s definitely great, too.”

ful roster. Swan has four freshmen recruits coming in next year, compiling one of the top recruiting classes in the nation.
“It’s not going to be easy next year,” Swan said. “Our team is really young, and our schedule is going to be much more dif f icult too. The focus is going to be again on getting quality wins, getting wins that help make the tournament and getting as high of a national ranking as possible.”
Despite the influx of fresh talent next season, the team will also lose three play-ers to graduation, in-cluding Dwyer and Thams, who play No. 1 and No. 2 singles, respectively. Sanborn said he expects more competition within the team during practices and the offsea-son, to get to play in those positions come next season.
Sanborn said the team is focused on progress, and if the Cats can continue to improve like they did from last year to this year, they will have even better results in the future.
“We placed a good foundation to keep moving forward,” Sanborn said. “Chris (Drake) and Arvid have done a great job this season in helping us im-prove. It ’s helped our freshmen out a lot, and they know what to expect in the future. We can only go up from here.”
quickness back.”The Cats showcased their quick-strike
ability, scoring less than half of a minute into the game and four times during an 85-second stretch shortly thereafter to take a 5-1 lead.
The edge could have been even bigger if Massachusetts goalie Katie Florence had not come up with four tough high stops on shots from point-blank range. The freshman fin-ished her first NCAA tournament game with 15 saves, four more than she had against NU in March.
“She played great,” Dowd said. “It’s a good lesson that you can’t let a goalie get hot in the first couple of minutes, or else we’re going to be dealing with that the whole game.”
Once the Cats adjusted and started putting away their shots down low, they were able to run away from the Minutewomen. Eight straight goals in the middle of the half gave NU a 14-3 advantage, which became a 16-5 lead at intermission.
Massachusetts demonstrated an ability to score when it had the ball, beating senior goalie Morgan Lathrop on five of eight shots on goal before the break. The problem was obtaining possession: The Minutewomen lost eight of the first nine draws, and controlled about a quarter of them for the game.
“It started with the draw,” Venechanos said. “We knew going into the game the draw was going to be huge, and we couldn’t get the ball from the beginning. When you’re playing catch-up against a team that’s talented, it takes a lot of energy.”
Venechanos’ team was overwhelmed by NU’s wealth of offensive options. Senior All-Atlantic 10 first-team defender Jackie Rosenz-weig faceguarded junior attacker Danielle Spencer throughout the contest, holding her to no goals and one assist.
But other players stepped up instead. Se-nior midfielder Mary Kate Casey had a hat trick in the first half alone, surpassing her previous single-game mark of two goals. Ten different players scored for the Cats, whose
first 28 shots were all on goal in an impressive display of accuracy.
“Even without Hilary Bowen, they have a lot of threats,” Rosenzweig said. “Even shut-ting down one, we’ve got to shut down six other people. It’s tough.”
Amonte Hiller also got a little creative against her former assistant. Late in the first half, she called in a play with Nielsen behind the net that bunched the other attackers on the left side of the net, like an isolation play in basketball.
Freshman defender Lacey Vigmostad sprinted from outside the offensive zone on the right, reached up for Nielsen’s pass, and fired it into the back of the net for her second goal of the season.
“If people are going to faceguard us, like with Danielle today, we were ready for any-thing,” Amonte Hiller said. “I was pleased how well the girls made the adjustments — we sent the message in, and they really executed well.”

was much different.“We wanted to beat them,” Venechanos
said. “I’m disappointed that our team is going home. But it starts with baby steps, and this team took a huge step. It all has to start some-where, you’ve got to jog before you can run.”
Venechanos wanted to pull off the improb-able upset. She wanted to make a splash in her first postseason appearance, and NU wouldn’t let it happen.
More impressive, though, was NU’s consis-tency despite inconsistency. A month-and-a-half after beating Massachusetts 22-5 in the regular season, the Cats beat the Minute-women by the same 17-goal margin. The game in late March featured three-goal per-
formances by senior Hilary Bowen and junior Danielle Spencer, to go along with four from Nielsen. This time around, 10 different play-ers found the back of the net, highlighted by a seven-goal showing by junior Katrina Dowd.
Very little changed in the Cats’ approach from the regular season matchup. The inten-sity was the same. The quick-strike ability and fast-paced attack was the same.
The only thing that changed was that NU knew its opponent would bring everything it had, and Massachusetts did. That will be the case for the remainder of the NCAA tournament. But NU had a resounding answer, and in the process, sent a message to the rest of the field.
Yes, Maryland, the second overall seed in the tournament, made a statement by beating Colgate, 20-5, in its first round matchup – an-
nounced at halftime of Sunday’s contest.Yes, Maryland went undefeated in the reg-
ular season, too, and turned down an offer to play NU in the regular season to avoid show-ing its offensive and defensive sets.
Yes, Maryland wants to end NU’s run of four consecutive national championships, to protect its own dynasty of seven straight titles.
Still, NU has a plan of its own. The Cats want to give the Terps company.
And that’s why Nielsen gave that message to her teammates. After all, she’s never had to deal with the implications of one and done. Why should it change now?
Message to Maryland loud and clear

Up to this point, the Northwestern women’s tennis team’s results have just been window dressing. Yeah, they have a No. 1 ranking that helps in in-
ter-sport banter with the lacrosse team – another top-ranked team. Yeah, they just advanced to the round of 16 for the sixth straight season. Yeah, they won the Big Ten for the 11th straight year and Maria Mosolova is the top player in the country.
Big freakin’ whoop.Unlike the said lacrosse team, coach Claire
Pollard’s bunch hasn’t won anything yet and have usually found the middle of May to be their kryptonite. Of those previous five trips to the Sweet Sixteen, only twice has it resulted in an-other match for the Cats.
Despite those previous failings, here’s to hop-ing this Friday will mark a change.
In college sports, it is very hard to pull off a Boston Celtics 2007-2008 season. A team doesn’t go from mediocre or terrible to off-the-chain
great. It takes many steps.That is how lacrosse, softball and even
football have worked at this school – and how women’s tennis is working right now. First, it was conquering the Big Ten, and then indi-vidual NCAA accolades in doubles. Last year, the Cats grabbed the No. 1 ranking for the first time in school history.
Now the Cats have been the team to beat throughout the regular season. They have lost just one match to a good Duke team they might face in the finals of the NCAA tournament.
But the question is whether they will make those finals. NU has been here and under-achieved before. Last year the top-ranked Cats were upset by California in the quarterfinals. The year before, they were sent home by Fresno State in the dreaded 5-12 upset matchup.
Of course that can’t happen this year, can it? The Cats have looked invincible during their Big Ten campaign, where the competition failed to
beat a Cats player in eight-consecutive matches until a pesky Kentucky team beat junior Lauren Lui on Saturday.
One might say the key to the championship city in the Cats’ arsenal of weapons is the desire to avoid those past two disappointments.
Five players in the heart of NU’s lineup have tasted the bile of upset that does not deal with stomachs. Georgia Rose, Sam Murray, Lui, Keri Robison and Nazlie Ghazal have played through the good and bad over the past three years.
But as deep and good as the Cats have been this season, the key to a deep tournament run rests with Murray and No. 46 Mosolova.
Murray is 1-4-1 career in the round of 16 and beyond. Mosolova lost the deciding point in that match, but has improved both her game and profile since then, winning 10 of her past 11 matches.
While both have been hot of late, both have struggled against top competition again this sea-son. The M girls have gone 8-8 collectively against top-60 talent in team matches this year and both fell in the team’s only loss to Duke.
Should the M girls continue their winning streaks starting this Friday against Fresno State, then NU will actually be the most dangerous team in the country. The R girls, Rose and Robi-son, can be counted to deliver in the clutch.
If not, then the team might not get to rack up all those Marriott points in College Station.

Ahead one set and leading 5-1 in the second, senior Keri Robison held the Wildcats’ fate in her hands.
Leading Kentucky 3-1, Northwestern needed one more victory to advance to the third round of the NCAA tournament.
Robison quickly jumped out to a 40-15 lead in the seventh game of the set. Serving for the game, she slammed a scorching ace down the center of the court, leaving her opponent stunned.
With that serve, Robison propelled the Cats to a 4-1 victory and sent them to Texas.
“I was a little bit nervous,” she said. “I knew that everybody else was having some close matches out there so I felt a little bit of pressure to close it out and I just wanted to take it one point at a time.”
Robison’s victory capped off a weekend in which NU went 8-1 against Miami (Ohio) and Kentucky at the Vandy Christie Tennis Center. Next, the Cats travel to College Station, Texas, to face Fresno State in the round of 16.
While NU won six singles matches on the weekend, Robison was the only NU player to win both of her matches. On Friday against Mi-ami, Robison and juniors Samantha Murray and Lauren Lui won their matches. The next day against Kentucky, it was Robison, sophomore Maria Mosolova and senior Georgia Rose who
helped NU advance.In doubles, only the pair of Lui and Rose
were victorious on both days.Despite the Cats’ inconsistency, the victories
put the team’s overall strength on display. “The depth is critical,” coach Claire Pol-
lard said. “But I think what’s more important is that we have no holes in our lineup. For us, the great thing we have is that on any given day we have six players and three doubles teams that can win, and we’re going to need every one of those.”
The Cats’ only loss of the weekend came at No. 4 singles on Saturday when Lui fell to Ken-tucky’s Lauren Meier, 6-3, 6-3.
“Lauren just got beat by someone playing too well today,” Pollard said. “And that’s going happen, so we need to have good chances at every spot.”
With one trip to the round of 16 and two trips to the NCAA quarterfinals in her career, no one
knows more about the importance of depth to a playoff team than senior Nazlie Ghazal.
“Obviously as the tournament goes on the teams are getting better and better,” Ghazal said. “I think where we are really strong is that we can win at any spot. We never know where our points are coming from, but we know that we can count on everyone to do the best they can, and every-one has potential to win at their spot.”
Along with their depth, Ghazal said she trusts that the team’s postseason experience will be a crucial factor in its success.
“Definitely having a couple years under our belt helps a lot,” she said. “The past couple years we went in a little tight, a little nervous and we kind of felt a little pressure. This year we know that we’ve earned what we’ve got and we’re just going to make it count this time and leave every-thing out on the court.”

On her 21st birthday, Junior Katrina Dowd led Northwestern’s vicious attack against Massachusetts, netting a career-high seven goals in the Cats’ 23-6 victory. Those 23 goals marked an NCAA tournament record for the Wildcats.
Yes, the Wildcats went un-defeated in the regular season.
Yes, the Cats have won four consecutive national champion-ships.
Yes, they have won 16 consecutive games in the postseason under coach Kelly Amonte Hiller.
Still, in Sunday’s matchup with Massachusetts, Northwestern knew one thing – in postseason play, it’s one and done.
That’s why senior midfielder Han-nah Nielsen stressed to her team-mates before the game that they had to play a complete 60 minutes.
“I think all of the older players let the younger players know what tour-nament is all about,” Nielsen said. “No matter who were playing, UMass or anybody, you have to play a full game and anything can happen.”
For freshmen Shannon Smith, Al-exandra Frank and Lacey Vigmostad, it was their first postseason appear-ance, and they weren’t going to let that “anything” happen.
“I’m just happy we got better than the Penn State game, our last game,” Amonte Hiller said. “That’s really the goal for us, we want to be better against Princeton.”
That’s what experience does for a team – knowing that it’s not about posting a dominating 23-6 victory. It can’t be quantified in numbers or sta-tistics, it’s simply knowing within how the team played.

By DANNY DALYTHE DAILY NORTHWESTERN
Massachusetts coach Alexis Venecha-nos knew she would have to pull out all the stops to have a chance of beating the top team in the nation.
Despite faceguarding leading scorers Hannah Nielsen and Hilary Bowen throughout the game, her squad had been walloped at home earlier in the season by
Northwestern.From the first whis-
tle, Venechanos tried to throw the Wildcats off their game by send-ing senior Meghan Reddy out to take the opening draw with a wooden stick.
“We wanted to do something they had never seen before,” Venechanos said “I didn’t know where the ball was going to go, but I also know they
didn’t know where the ball was going. In the past, even though we knew where it was going, we couldn’t stop them.”
The Minutewomen (11-8) had a few chances at loose balls at the start, but ulti-mately the risk did not pay off. NU cruised into the NCAA quarterfinals with a 23-6 victory, paced by junior attacker Katrina Dowd’s career-high seven goals.
By the end of the regular season, the Cats’ brutal schedule seemed like it was starting to take its toll. NU (20-0) played seven games in 21 days starting on April 12 – with six of those contests coming against ranked teams. Not once did the Cats score 20 goals during that stretch af-ter doing so eight times in their first 12 games.
Having seven days after the American Lacrosse Conference tournament final to recharge for the Minutewomen proved to be beneficial. NU’s last weeklong break was following its win over California in which Bowen tore her left ACL.
“This is the first time in a while we had a full week to practice and prepare, which was a real advantage for us,” coach Kelly Amonte Hiller said. “We wanted to amp up our transition a little bit, get that

No. 42 Northwestern’s early ex it in the f irst round of the NCAA tournament put an anticli-mactic end to an otherwise re-markable turnaround this season.
In their f irst NCA A appear-ance since 2005, the Wildcats were defeated by No. 18 Wake Forest 4-0. The Demon Deacons then upset the regional host, No. 11 Kentucky, 4-2 in the second round of the tournament.
NU had opportunities early on to steal the doubles point, but fal-tered down the stretch. The No. 3 doubles team of graduate student Alex Thams and sophomore An-drew McCarthy was up 6-5 and
had two break point chances, but failed to capitalize and lost 8-6.
Senior Marc Dwyer and junior A lex Sa nbor n put up a f ig ht aga inst Wa ke Forest ’s s i x t h-ranked doubles team of Steven Forman and Cory Parr at No. 1, but lost 8-5. Those two losses sealed the point for Wake Forest.
Despite the loss at doubles, freshman Tobias Reitz said the team st i l l felt conf ident and thought it could compete with the Demon Deacons.
“The doubles were close, so we t houg ht we def in itely had a chance,” Reitz said. “We knew it was going to be really tough to win four singles after we lost the doubles point. We thought we had a higher chance of winning, but
they were too good on that given day.”
The singles points were domi-nated by the top three spots of the Wake Forest lineup, which coach Arvid Swan said was the biggest strength of the Demon Deacons. Dwyer lost at No. 1 sin-g les , 6 - 0, 6 -1 , fol lowed by a Thams defeat at No 2., 6-1, 6-4. Reitz lost at No. 3 singles, 6-2, 6-3, to clinch the match for the Demon Deacons.
The loss aside, Sanborn said the team thought it played well overall and was able to compete with an elite team like Wake For-est.
“It was a close match,” San-born said. “We played really well. Even though we lost, it was prob-ably a good way to end the sea-son.”
The season ended with the Cats meeting every one of the
high goals they set for themselves at the beginning of the season. They turned around their confer-ence record from 0-10 to above .500, finished in the top half of the conference standings and made the NCAA tournament.
When it comes to setting goals for the team, Swan said he makes sure they are within grasp, pro-vided the team works hard.
“I try to set realistic goals for our program,” Swan said. “That’s really important, so that the kids can see that they are obtainable goals but it is going to be tough to reach them.”
Next season is going to bring similar challenges as this season, particularly dealing with a youth-
