Students groove to Chromeo By ELIZABETH KIMthe daily northwestern
Northwestern students blew o� some steam Friday in the midst of midterms by dancing with strobe lights and lots of electro-funk.
� e duo Chromeo headlined the annual A&O Ball on Friday at the Rivi-era � eatre. Chicago rapper Vic Mensa opened the show. � e performances each lasted about an hour.
A&O spokeswoman Shelly Tan said she enjoyed the show, which exceeded her expectations.
“If you saw Chromeo’s Coachella set, then you knew that this show was going to be one you didn’t want to miss,” the Medill senior said. “I expected a great show, and I got an awesome one instead.”
� e venue was divided into three sections, with most students crowding by the stage to be closer to the artists. Tickets were sold both prior to the event and at the door. Some students arrived too late to see Mensa open the concert, but still enjoyed the concert anyway.
“A lot of people missed the � rst opening act,” Weinberg sophomore Emery Weinstein said. “But I really enjoyed it. Everyone was dancing as opposed to just sitting. It was just a feel-good concert.”

For most of her career, Arianna Hu� -ington never prioritized her own health. But when she realized that lifestyle was not sustainable, she re� ned her goals and set out to spread her new message.
“If we’re lucky, we have 30,000 days to play the game of life and how we play it will be determined by what we value, and what we value will be determined by how we de� ne success and how we de� ne a good life,” she said. “� at is a conversation that is really wonderful to be having at your age rather than waiting and be having at my age.”
Hu ngton spoke Sunday night to about 120 individuals in Harris Hall about ways to reduce stress and about the importance of sleep. Hu ngton was joined on stage by McCormick junior Jon Feldman, Weinberg senior Nancy DaSilva and Weinberg junior Arianna Yanes. Alicia Menendez, the anchor of Fusion’s “Alicia Menendez Tonight,” moderated the discussion.
Feldman discussed his struggles � nd-ing a summer internship as an environ-mental engineering major, which led to Hu ngton o� ering him a position to work for � e Hu ngton Post’s “Green” section this summer.

ASG holds � rst hackathonBy JORDAN HARRISONthe daily northwestern@MedillJordan
About 70 students participated in the ResdesigNU hackathon over the week-end, a 24-hour competition in which new and experienced programers created a variety of designs, including a compre-hensive Northwestern mobile applica-tion and several alternatives to CAESAR’s class search functionality.
� is was the � rst year Associated Student Government held the competi-tion, which was oriented around building applications to enhance the NU student experience.
� e panel of judges included two NU alumni and one current student. Former ASG president Neal Sales-Gri n (SESP ’09), the co-founder of the program-ming school � e Starter League, and Ethan Romba (McCormick ’13), former ASG vice president of technology, judged the entries along with Weinberg senior So� a Sami, former ASG academic vice president.
� e contest’s grand prize of $2,000 was awarded to the makers of the mobile app for “addressing multiple facets of student life,” Sami said. � e two students on the team were McCormick sophomore Matt Ehinger and Weinberg sophomore Eric Brownrout.
The runner-up prize of $1,000 went to a scheduling application called CourseDJ.
McCormick sophomores Michael Wang and Gregory Leung, members of
the CourseDJ team, said it was their � rst “hackathon.” CourseDJ takes a selection of classes a user is interested in taking and the number of classes they want in their schedule and “remixes” the courses into di� erent schedule combinations.
� e competition also featured an Emerging Underclassman Innovator Award for teams with freshmen and sophomores who are less experienced programmers. � e award went to Course Connect, an app designed to recommend courses for students and reduce clutter when creating a class schedule.
� e judges chose eight � nalists for students to vote on throughout the week, including all of the teams who they awarded prizes to during the com-petition. � e winner and runner-up of the student voting competition will also receive prizes.
One of the � nalist teams created a real-time interface called Census, which allows students to give anonymous feed-back and ask professors questions in large lecture classes.
McCormick sophomore Jon Rovira, one of four members of the Census team, said the competition helped him gain experience with programming and he appreciated the freedom he had to be creative in the design.
“I’d never done a hackathon before and I kind of always wanted to,” he said. “Just get some more hands-on experience, just learn through the process of doing.”
Sales-Gri n said he was impressed by the quality of the design and presen-tation of the entries, noting they can be just as important as the functional code
of an app.“When you’re presenting and you’re
trying to win a competition or you’re at least trying to convey what it is you want your app to do, the most important part is the visual interface,” he said at the awards ceremony on Saturday evening. “I think all of you did a great job at doing that.”
Sales-Gri n also said he was pleased with the direction NU is heading with regards to technology and innovation.
“When I was about to graduate from here, these aren’t the type of things that were going on,” he said. “We were wishing for things, we were hoping for things and ASG senators were arguing about things, but there wasn’t anything really getting done in that respect. So to see this room full of people coming up with 16 di� erent ideas for apps that could solve problems for Northwestern with technology, that’s amazing.”
Football players take union vote By ALEX PUTTERMANdaily senior staffer@AlexPutt02
After weeks of fact-finding and deliberation, Northwestern scholarship football players voted Friday morning on whether to form a union.
� e votes will not be counted until a� er the National Labor Relations Board rules on NU’s appeal of last month’s rul-ing that players are University employ-ees. However, several media outlets have cited sources predicting the union will be voted down.
No current players spoke to the media at any length, but once the voting period was over, NU spokesman Al Cubbage delivered a statement a rming the posi-tion that NU opposes the union but sup-ports players’ desire for change.
“We agree that there currently are important issues regarding college athletics nationally and that students
should have a voice in those discussions,” Cubbage said. “However, we believe that a collective bargaining process at Northwestern would not advance the discussion of these topics, in large part because most of the issues being raised by the union are outside the purview of Northwestern.”
Athletic director Jim Phillips also issued a statement.
“We deeply appreciate each and every one of the young men who came out today and allowed their voices to be heard,” Phillips said. “Northwestern strongly believes in these issues that have been raised and has been a leader in sev-eral of these areas, including awarding four-year scholarships and providing extended medical bene� ts.”
Former walk-on Michael Odom quit the team several months ago and would not have had a vote regardless due to not being under scholarship. Still, he

Northwestern hosted a conference Friday which focused on the up-and-coming in the entrepreneurial world and opportunities for college students.
The event, called Entrepreneur@NU and themed “Next Frontiers,” was hosted by the Farley Center for Entrepreneurship and Inno-vation, in partnership with student group EPIC.
About 130 participants attended the con-ference at Norris University Center, with 90 percent of attendees being undergraduate and graduate NU students. E@NU offered five dis-tinct tracks for NU’s budding entrepreneurs: Entrepreneurial Marketing, Design Think-ing, Students/Researchers Becoming Entre-preneurs, Corporate/Venture Intrapraneur-ship and Women in Entrepreneurship. The conference’s two keynote speakers were Ben Parr (Weinberg ’08), former editor-at-large of the news blog Mashable, and Norbert Riedel, president and CEO of the neuropharmaceuti-cal company Naurex, Inc.
SESP senior Josephine Lee, student coordi-nator for the Farley Center and former EPIC co-president, said the conference was a success because of its small setting.
“Everyone was able to participate and the conversations had in workshops were very intimate,” Lee said. “There was a high value to all that was discussed and I think students got way more out of this conference than they imagined.”
Lee, who has been involved with the Far-ley Center for three years, was enthusiastic about the conference’s keynote speakers, Parr in particular.
“Ben was nice enough to volunteer to come out from San Francisco to promote our con-ference. He fits right in with the theme of the event,” she said. “Ben is always looking to see what is on the rise in the world of entrepre-neurship and has such a keen eye for what can succeed.”
Parr spoke toward the end of the conference about his time at Mashable, as well as his cur-rent entrepreneurial pursuits. His book, “Cap-tivology: The Science of Capturing People’s Attention,” will be released in early 2015. His talk was followed by a question-and-answer session where attendees asked questions about the future of social media and technology.
McCormick sophomore Roy Yu, a member of EPIC, said he was impressed overall with the event, but said he wished more students had attended.
“A lot of what was said in workshops linked pretty nicely to what I’ve been learning in my classes,” he said. “I just wish the confer-ence was marketed better to students because I know there are other students who would be interested in this sort of thing.”
One of those interested students was Lau-ren Straus, a Weinberg senior who is working on a startup herself. She is a participant in a NUvention course, a two-quarter project in which students work to create a web-based business. Straus said the conference was both intriguing and important.
“It was great to hear all of the ideas in workshops and the keynote speakers were both enjoyable and insightful,” Straus said. “From the perspective of someone working on a startup, this conference was an impor-tant networking opportunity and a good chance to learn about what’s on the rise in entrepreneurship.”

NU to undergo re-accreditation process
Northwestern will undergo re-accredita-tion next year, which will include assessments measuring if NU meets a regional commis-sion’s criteria, the University announced last week.
The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools will evaluate NU with several exami-nations, testing whether NU satisfies certain requirements and federal compliance data.
NU is one of 57 other schools that is part of a new pilot program called “Open Path-way,” created in an effort to maintain a more efficient and effective assessment process. As part of the program, NU will be required to submit several documents to the commission in order to properly assess the University.
As part of the re-accreditation process, the evaluation team is scheduled to visit April 27-28, 2015.

City event celebrates sustainability achievementsBy Alice Yinthe daily northwestern @alice_yin
Evanston concluded Earth Month on Sunday afternoon with an “Evanston — The Most Livable City” celebration that looked at both its past triumphs and future prospects in sustainability.
The program was a joint effort sponsored by the city, Evanston Interreligious Sustainability Circle, Citizens’ Greener Evanston and other groups. Under the high ceilings of the great hall at the First United Methodist Church of Evanston, 516 Church Street, the event drew about 100 people. The event has been hosted in the past by the Evanston ISC every few years, most recently in 2011.
“It’s always a good kind of state of the union of what’s going on,” said CGE member Nathan Kipnis, who attended the event. “It assesses our progress and looks at our goals moving forward.”
Evanston is one of the few communities in the nation to fulfill a pledge to meet the targets of the 2005 Kyoto protocol, CGE president Eleanor Revelle said during her introduction to the event. By shifting to 100 percent renewable energy for homeowners
and small businesses, the city met its goal of reducing emissions by 13 percent last summer.
City manager Wally Bobkiewicz outlined Evan-ston’s path to becoming a greener community.
“We spend a lot of time focused on goals,” Bob-kiewicz told The Daily. “Every once in a while it’s important to stop and say we’ve accomplished those goals, and we’re moving down the road on other goals.”
Evanston became the second city in the nation to be awarded a 4-STAR Community Rating last month through the Sustainability Tools for Assess-ing and Rating, which recognizes national excellence in sustainability. Breakthroughs such as recycling more than 9,000 tons and offering more than 32 miles of designated bike routes contributed to the honor, Bobkiewicz said during his keynote address at the event.
David Driskell, executive director of community planning and sustainability for Boulder, Colo., trav-eled to Evanston to speak at the event on Boulder’s vision on sustainability. Calling Evanston a “peer community when we look for our next challenge,” Driskell spoke about Boulder’s projects, ranging from a master plan for transportation to street tree installations.
“Any community has a lot to learn from other communities,” he said. “I was impressed (Evanston) has been able to implement the separated bike lines downtown.”
After the speeches, the event shifted to three breakout discussion groups on growing local food, green transportation and energy efficiency. The discussions started with a presentation from a local organization related to each cause, then proceeded to an informal audience discussion.
“Alternative energy, whether it be for hot water or electricity, is not rocket science,” said Ron Fleckman, a US Solar Network partner who led the breakout on alternative energy.
The city hopes to launch a new program to reduce emissions by 20 percent by 2016, specifically targeting building and transportation emissions. Bobkiewicz said he is “really happy” the community continues to support efforts to undertake sustainability projects.
“I hope the event is part cheerleading, part reen-ergizing the base,” Bobkiewicz said. “These are the folks that care the most about sustainability issues in Evanston but also helped chart the course for the future.”
FDA proposes new rule governing e-cigarettes
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration proposed a new rule Thursday that would allow the agency to regulate electronic cigarettes and other tobacco-related products.
“Tobacco-related disease and death is one of the most critical public health challenges before the FDA,” Mitch Zeller, director of the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products, said in a news release. “The proposed rule would give the FDA additional tools to protect the public health in today’s rapidly evolving tobacco marketplace, including the review of new tobacco products and their health-related claims.”
If the proposed rule is implemented, companies that produce tobacco-related products like e-cigarettes would have to register their products, disclose the product ingredients and wait to market products until FDA review. In addition, companies would have to wait for the FDA to review any evidence before claim-ing their products reduce any risks.
Battery-operated e-cigarettes convert liquid con-taining nicotine into vapor for users to inhale. Little is known about the devices, according to the FDA’s website. Many aspects of e-cigarette usage, such as the amount of nicotine users inhale, have not been completely reviewed.
The Illinois General Assembly is currently con-sidering legislation on e-cigarettes. State Rep. Robyn Gabel (D-Evanston) sponsored a bill concerning e-cigarettes that passed the state House with “an overwhelming majority” and is now in the Senate, Gabel said. The bill aims to require childproof caps on the e-liquid portion of e-cigarettes.
Gabel said a physician told her nicotine can have lethal effects and can impact an individual through his or her skin. The amount needed to impact a toddler is even smaller, Gabel said.
As e-cigarettes become more popular, “there will be more opportunities for accidents,” Gabel said, noting that the e-cigarette industry has in the past been an unregulated one. As a legislator, she felt she had to help regulate the industries that can impact children, she said.
“People should know that nicotine is a very potent drug,” Gabel said. “People need to use it wisely and carefully.”

where is the call for boycotting Saudi Arabia for banning Jews from entering the country and mistreating women? Or boycotting Qatar

Wildcat Days where NU outshines its peers
I visited two colleges, Northwestern and another private school, as an admitted stu-dent during my senior year of high school. The other school’s admitted student day left me with a bad taste in my mouth. It was planned very well, but the students did not seem to be very welcoming.
Students walked briskly past us when my mom and I were obviously lost on the giant campus. I sat in on a class and the current students warned us about how terrible the professor was. They then proceeded to give her little respect, by not answering any of her questions and openly texting on their phones (and this was in an eight-person class, to make it even more awkward). To interrupt the silence, the other prospective student and I starting answering the professor’s questions. We got odd glares from the other students.
The weirdest thing, though, happened when my mom and I took our obligatory campus tour. When we entered into an eleva-tor in a dorm, a student walked out lugging his dirty laundry on his shoulder and, with a straight face, exclaimed, “Don’t go to (name of the school).” My mom and I were shocked. He could have been completely joking, but to use that statement with such a serious tone
of voice made everyone in our tour group uncomfortable.
With all of these little annoyances, my mom and I decided to leave that college town early and go to Evanston for Wildcat Days. Almost four years later, it was the one of the greatest decisions of my teenage life. When we arrived in Evanston, it was beautiful and sunny and everyone was smiling.
I had a great time at Wildcat Days. I went on one of our awesome campus tours and got a free grey NU T-shirt. A pre-med advisor took the time to meet with me and discuss
my potential college class schedule (Fun fact: It was two minutes after this meeting that I dropped pre-med forever). I had a peanut butter and chocolate milkshake at Kafein and ate crepes in Norris (RIP Crepe Bistro).
Most importantly, everyone on campus seemed to be so accepting of us “little pros-pies.” Unlike at the other school, people asked us if we needed help when my mom and I were clearly lost on campus — a perfect example of the midwestern charm. The stu-dent hosts that lead our trip to the NU din-ing hall were so nice and they made sure to
talk to everyone at the dinner. When a friend from our hometown took my mom and me to Andy’s and introduced me to her dormmates, they excitedly told me to come to NU. With these overwhelming feelings of warmth and hospitality, I sent in my deposit to NU as soon as I got back home. I even wore that free T-shirt that Monday to my high school.
NU’s admitted students are also often accepted to many top private schools of simi-lar academic caliber.
Often, the key way students make their decision is by first hand experience of the culture and campus life of the school dur-ing admitted student days. This is where NU shines.
To everyone that plans Wildcat Days, I would like to thank you for doing such amaz-ing work. To the students who give tours, host prospies and run activity fairs, thank you for keeping your positive energy flowing around campus. And even for students that are not directly involved, I would like to urge you to keep up the amazing work.
If you see prospies on campus, say “hi” to them and their families. Smile and help them with directions. Tell them with sincerity that you love NU. Together, we can make NU the most attractive school for prospective students.

No more excuses not to go to Art Institute of Chicago
Spring is finally here. But before we jump into our crazy plans the harsh winter didn’t allow, we should make the effort to squeeze in some time to visit the Art Institute of Chicago because it is not only easy and free to go, but also one of the best art museums in the nation.
To live in the Chicago area and not know one of its greatest cultural assets would be a shame. Each year, around 1.5 million visitors from around the world visit the Art Institute, which holds more than 260,000 works in its permanent collection.
So many people make an effort to experi-ence Chicago, why can’t we try harder to know the city that we live in and the works of
art it offers?The Art Institute is not just for art or
art history majors, but for everyone in the same way art is for everyone. People are often surprised when I tell them I visit the Art Institute regularly. But after learning my double major is art theory and practice, they respond “Oh, you’re an art major,” as if the Art Institute is limited to only a few. Art may seem distant and irrelevant for many college students, especially non-majors, who struggle to keep up with their academic and social lives.
But art (and visiting and seeing the actual pieces) is crucial to our education and our stay at Northwestern. We have distribution requirements (including art) for a reason: to widen our scope of understanding the world and to be able to appreciate different cultures. In that context, visiting the Art Institute to see artwork in person is perhaps more important than classes that “talk” about culture, because we get to absorb and feel art
for ourselves. Maybe art or museums aren’t your “thing.” But there are special exhibi-tions throughout the year that may be more interesting to individuals — and you can’t say you don’t like something before you even experience it.
Art can make us think about unexpected issues or let us experience something from a new perspective. We can understand what different people from different periods saw, thought or felt. Sometimes art doesn’t make sense, and it becomes not only a great pleasure but also an important learning and thinking process.
Iconic works like Georges Seurat’s “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte” — the colorful dotted painting of French people sitting or standing by a body of water, some hold-ing umbrellas — are in the institute. Par-ticularly strong in Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painting collections, the Art Institute holds myriad works of art — from the Arms, Armor, Medieval and Renaissance
collection to the Indian Art of the Americas. From the Prints and Drawings collection to the 68 Thorne Miniature Rooms. With such a diverse range of work, you’re sure to be exposed to something new.
It’s really easy to go to the Art Institute, especially if you plan ahead. Using the “L,” the museum is a block away from Adams and Wabash, where the Purple Line Express stops, and a few blocks away from the Mon-roe Red Line stop. The Intercampus Shuttle runs all day and goes to the Ward Building, which is around a half-hour walk away, and the Chicago Express shuttle stops near the Art Institute at the intersection of Columbus and Monroe.
It’s free, it’s easy and the weather is warm. There is no excuse not to go.

Local groups organize against racismBy Stephanie Kellythe daily northwestern @stephaniekellym
Signs and honking cars crowded Ridge Avenue on Friday as the YWCA Evanston/North Shore held its third annual Stand Against Racism.
Individuals, school organizations, churches and other groups from around the area met at about 1 p.m. along Church Street, Ridge Avenue, McCor-mick Boulevard, Howard Street and Isabella Street. People stood next to the streets, waving signs and
cheering while cars drove past. After, par-ticipants read a pledge, renewing their devotion to defeat racism.
“It’s an opportunity for communities to show the various ways that they are standing against racism,” said Eileen Hogan Heine-man, director of the YWCA’s racial justice program.
Heineman said Stand Against Racism saw increasing participation
in its first two years. The event drew about 2,000 par-ticipants in its first year and 2,200 the second year.
Heineman said she hopes the cause will extend to include Skokie participants in the future in addition to the usual Evanston and Wilmette attendees.
“We understand that there’s power in numbers,” she said.
Stephanie Quan attended the event as a member of the Second Baptist Church. Quan said as a child, she grew up in a culture where she could interact with individuals of all races. She said she has focused on the importance of equality her entire life.
“That’s the way I was raised, and that’s the way the world is, so let’s get on board, folks,” she said.
Heineman said she is looking forward to a new exhibit on race this year at the Illinois Holocaust Museum in Skokie, which she said would make people more aware of racial issues. She also said people already involved in the Stand Against Rac-ism would spread the word to increase participation next year.
Word of mouth also drew Northwestern’s Office of Equal Opportunity and Access to become involved this year. Elizabeth Brasher, the office’s program assistant, is also involved with the YWCA. When she started working at the Office of Equal Opportunity and Access, Brasher rallied her col-leagues around the cause.
“I made them aware of it, and of course they were eager to get involved,” Brasher said.
Schools also attended the rally on Friday. Hei-neman said although attendance from students at Evanston Township High School is optional, the high school’s attendance doubled this year.
Although she understands the event is only a “symbolic part” of standing against racism, Heine-man said she wants the event to keep the issue on people’s minds.
“What we really want is for all of these people to be thinking about how do they stand against racism every day,” Heineman said. “It’s good for people to know that they’re not doing this hard work alone.”
Throughout the show, both artists interacted closely with students.
Mensa showed pride for his hometown of Chi-cago and encouraged audience participation.
Chromeo took the stage about a half-hour after Mensa finished his set and had the crowd dancing from the beginning of the performance.
Chromeo’s Dave 1 spoke to the students in between songs to ensure they were enjoy-ing the concert. He shouted phrases such as “Pregame!” and “Can we get sexy for a minute, Northwestern?”
The audience clapped along with the loud beat of familiar tunes and engaged with the duo during some of the new songs from their upcoming album.
Chromeo’s new album “White Women,” which will be released in May, features their single, “Jealous (I Ain’t With It),” along with other collaborative efforts with Vampire Week-end and Solange.
The concert ended at about 10 p.m. after Chromeo thanked NU for inviting the duo to perform.
“Both Vic Mensa and Chromeo absolutely killed it,” Tan said. “A&O knew going in that both artists are great live, but it’s always a dif-ferent experience to be in front of them and watching them perform. Couldn’t have asked for more from them.”

expressed his support for the union anyway. Odom said he has heard from teammates that various out-side in� uences have attempted to sway the players’ votes to an extent that bothered him.
“I know a lot of my teammates have been in� u-enced by former players as well as coaches and o� -cials at the University,” Odom said. “A lot of (former players) are trying to convey that by voting for the union, my teammates would be betraying North-western, betraying the football family.”
Odom’s comments echoed a growing concern that NU’s campaign against the union in recent weeks has violated NLRB rules, but Cubbage said those allegations “simply are not true.”
“During the period leading up to the election, Northwestern conducted its campaign in a lawful and appropriate manner consistent with NLRB rules and guidelines,” he said. “Northwestern has stated its case clearly and consistently, explaining why it does not believe unionization is the appropriate mechanism for its scholarship football players to achieve their goals and objectives.”
If the NLRB ruling is upheld and the players vote
“yes” for the union, they would form the College Athletes Players Association. CAPA released a state-ment Friday calling the situation a “win-win.”
“Today is special because college athletes exer-cised their rights under labor laws, rights the NCAA has fought hard to deny them,” CAPA president Ramogi Huma said.
� e release also included a quote from former Wildcats quarterback Kain Colter, who spearheaded the unionization movement at NU.
“I’m proud of what the Northwestern football team has accomplished,” Colter said. “� ey are giv-ing a voice to the voiceless and empowering current and future college athletes.”
CAPA emphasized that in the big picture, the union vote is less important the NLRB ruling. If the NLRB upholds its previous ruling, NU players will have employee status even if they vote not to unionize.
� is could enable future NU teams to consider unionization and set a precedent for athletes at other private institutions to pursue unions as a means of gaining the ability to bargain for additional bene� ts.

A&O Productions and the O� ce of the President. Hu� ngton is the editor-in-chief, chair and president of the Hu� ngton Post Media Group.
Hu� ngton’s perspective on life changed in April 2007 when she woke up in a puddle of blood a� er hitting her head when she collapsed at her desk from exhaustion and lack of sleep. She was le� with a broken cheekbone and a cut above her eye.
“I thought to myself, by a conventional de� nition of success, I’m successful, but by any sane de� nition of success, if you’re lying in a pool of blood in your o� ce, you’re not successful,” she said.
� e experience was the catalyst for her new book, “� rive: � e � ird Metric to Rede� ning Success and Creating a Life of Well-Being, Wisdom, and Wonder.” Hu� ngton said the culture of sacri� cing sleep for work needs to be changed.
“You are congratulated for working 24/7, which is really equivalent to being congratulated for coming to work drunk,” she said. “We now take better care of our iPhones than we take care of ourselves.”
Although the event was not part of A&O’s sched-uled programming, spokeswoman Rosalind Mowitt said the group was happy to collaborate with the O� ce of the President to bring Hu� ngton to NU.
“I think mental health on campus is a really impor-tant issue, and I thought it was really nice to shed some light on that,” the Weinberg senior said. “I’m super proud of A&O because it didn’t necessarily fall in the vein of general entertainment and it was a little heavier.”
McCormick freshman Annie Kopp said she has long been a fan of � e Hu� ngton Post and was excited to hear Hu� ngton speak.
“She was so easy to relate to and everything really hit home for me,” she said. “� e idea of taking time for yourself especially because when she says people brag about how little sleep they get, I kind of fell into that � rst quarter and I got really sick. So, for me, hear-ing her say that you have to take time and sleep was really important.”
Hu� ngton said she has tried to visit as many col-leges as possible as part of her book tour to spread her message because millennials are known as the “stress generation.”
“It was clear from the conversation how many stu-dents do feel burned out and stressed out and it’s not that you can completely eliminate stress, but you can put it in its place and not have it overwhelm your life and lead to some many dangerous practices,” she told � e Daily.

Cats make most of WrigleyMupo, Leonard lead NU to 12-7 win over USC
More than 5,000 fans make Wrigley outing a succssBy BOBBY PILLOTEthe daily northwestern@BobbyPillote
It was a beautiful night for baseball, but the Chi-cago Cubs were 90 miles away in Milwaukee.
Northwestern took the � eld instead to battle Southern California in NU’s � nal regular-season game, and the Friendly Con� nes took on a very Wildcat feel.
Purple NU � ags adorned both foul poles, and white ones lined Wrigley’s upper awning. Purple and white pennants � ew above the center � eld scoreboard where the National League standings are usually arrayed.
� e playing � eld was oriented east to west, with the east end line stretching from the Cubs’ dugout to the end of the bullpen, and the west end line running the length of the right � eld wall. About a third of the eastern half enveloped the in� eld dirt.
Completing the Wrigley atmosphere, the organ blared NU’s � ght song a er every Cats goal and a scoreboard operator kept the score of the game on the stadium’s iconic manual display.
And, as expected, Chicago’s Big Ten team brought home a victory.
� e contest was part of a now year-old part-nership between the NU athletic department and the Cubs to market and promote NU sports. � e game was the second of the agreement, follow-ing the baseball team’s victory over Michigan last year.
Purple-clad fans packed in along the � rst-base side despite the nighttime chill, and numerous recruits were on hand to witness a major moment for the program and the sport. Total announced attendance was 5,145.
And the team, for its part, was excited to have played in one of sport’s most storied venues.
“It was a great opportunity for them to play on a big stage and experience that kind of pressure,” “� is was a really really special experience for our players,” coach Kelly Amonte Hiller said. “... Walk-ing out here, we didn’t really want to leave.”
Giddiness aside, the players seemed to under-stand the gravity of their elevated stage.
“It really goes to show how much the sport is growing in the Midwest,” senior mid� elder Kate Macdonald said.
By AVA WALLACEdaily senior staffer@AvaRWallace
It took 12 years and seven national champion-ships, but as purple and white � ags � uttered against a dark Wrigleyville skyline, Northwestern women’s lacrosse o� cially cemented its national presence.
A er three games at three nationally signi� cant stadiums — Cowboys Stadium in 2011, Gillette Stadium in 2012, and the Los Angeles Coliseum in 2013 — Northwestern returned home to Chicago on Saturday to conquer the last corner of the nation at Wrigley Field.
With 5,145 fans in attendance, the Wildcats neatly handled the visiting Southern California program under the lights of the Friendly Con� nes, 12-7.
� e signi� cance of the landmark Chicago loca-tion wasn’t lost on coach Kelly Amonte Hiller, who largely pioneered the sport’s expansion when she restarted the varsity program 12 years ago.
“I’m a Chicago sports fan, ever since my brother was the captain of the Blackhawks,” Amonte Hiller said. “I make my living here in Chicago and it’s only right that I should be a fan of these teams. … It’s great for Chicago sports to have so many great teams. We feel very connected to that, and hope-fully people continue to follow us and consider us in that same light.”
Goalkeeper Bridget Bianco spoke a erward about the experience of playing at the 100-year-old park.
“I like how the stadium is unique,” the junior said. “You come to Wrigley and it has that old-time feel and that history and you just feel like you’re a part of that history since you got to play on that � eld.”
� ere was no question as to whether the Cats felt comfortable in their temporary home away from home, as draw control specialist Alyssa Leonard proved coming out of hal ime.
� e senior kick-started the second half of Sat-urday’s game with a showy, behind-the-back goal. � e play was something the controlled, reserved Amonte Hiller might usually dislike and exactly what could be expected from a graduating senior playing the last regular-season game of her career in a historic ballpark.
“� at I think just showed that we really wanted to come out and set the tone in the second half,” senior Kate Macdonald said. “We wanted to come out like we were playing from behind and just work together and really get the ball going. I think there
were like three passes before that shot, and it just really came together.”
Leonard led the dominance of the senior class, which collectively scored 7 goals. � e draw con-trol specialist scored a hat trick, coming in just under junior attack Kara Mupo’s 4 goals, the team’s highest.
Aside from Mupo and a goal from Jess Carroll, the fruit of the junior’s � ve shots, seniors made up the rest of the score sheet.
Senior Kat DeRonda chipped in 2 goals, and her classmates Kelly Rich and Christy Turner each notched 1.
Carroll and Mupo, as they did against Florida on April 19, showed promise as leaders heading into the post-season.
� e Cats now turn their focus to the ALC Tour-nament, which the team will host at Lakeside Field starting May 1. With three losses within the con-ference, Amonte Hiller said her team is looking forward to making its mark in the last tournament before the conference disbands.
“� e players are not pleased with where we’re at in the ALC,” Amonte Hiller said. “And we’ve got something to prove.”
Perhaps the Cats’ purpose this year is what makes NU � t in as a Chicago sports team. Because if there’s one thing Wrigley Field has done in its 100 years, it has hosted many teams ready to prove themselves against expectations.

Cats win Big Ten title with dramatic comeback
By ALEX PUTTERMANdaily senior staffer@AlexPutt02
Four hours of literal and � gurative back-and-forth play had passed, and Northwestern’s Big Ten Tournament run appeared over.
� e No. 17 Michigan Wolverines (21-4) led the Cats 3-2, and though NU’s Nida Hamilton was on the verge of victory, Belinda Niu was down.
Niu, a senior and four-time All-Big Ten selection, had won her � rst set but dropped the second and now trailed in the third 5-2.
But as Hamilton closed out her match to pull the two teams even, Niu stormed back, winning � ve straight games to give No. 11 NU (19-6) a 4-3 victory and its 15th Big Ten Tournament title in 16 years.
“At 5-2, I felt a little sick to my stomach, to be hon-est,” Niu said. “I really didn’t want to be the person that lost it for us, that lost the last match. But once the score was tied at 5-all, I just felt really determined. … � is tournament just means so much to us, and I was happy to close it out.”
Sunday’s action was intense from the start.In front of a standing-room only crowd, the
Cats narrowly dropped the doubles point to the
Wolverines, winning one match 8-2 and losing the other two 8-7 and 8-6. And that was only the pro-logue to a drama-heavy round of singles play.
Michigan struck � rst, as No. 10 Emina Bektas staved o� the match point to defeat senior No. 37 Veronica Corning 2-6, 7-5, 6-0.
Minutes later, sophomore Alicia Barnett scored the Cats their � rst point, defeating No. 124 Sara Lee 6-3, 2-6, 6-3.
A er Michigan’s Brooke Bolender defeated Manon Peri to make the score 3-1 in favor of the Wolverines, the excitement intensi� ed.
Junior Lok Sze Leung held o� No. 125 Amy Zhu in two slow, up-and-down sets, 7-5, 7-5. � at le just Niu and Hamilton, both needing to win their matches to secure the title.
Hamilton was the only NU player to lose her � rst set but battled back to win the second and take a lead in the third.
“I was like, ‘Oh gosh, I’ve got to come back, every-one’s winning,’” the senior said. “When it got toward the end I saw it was just me, Belinda and Lok Sze, and we were all in good position, so I knew I had to get my court taken care of.”
A er Hamilton won a tiebreak for a 1-6, 6-3, 7-6 victory, all eyes fell on Niu.
Even as Niu fell behind, Pollard was con� dent.“When you can get her into that frame of mind,
she’s just so stubborn and strong and has such phe-nomenal will power,” Pollard said. “You just got to feel good that she’s out there.”
Niu’s remarkable victory sealed yet another title for the Cats and avenged the team’s only confer-ence loss of the season, a 4-3 defeat April 5 in Ann
Arbor, Mich., that allowed the Wolverines to seize the regular season conference title.
“We wanted it so much,” Hamilton said. “Just a er not winning the regular season and losing to Michigan early in the year. We really wanted to get them back and get the title.”
� e Cats got to the championship game by dis-pensing a pair of formidable teams.
A er enjoying a � rst round bye, NU breezed by No. 48 Indiana on Friday, 4-1, dropping the doubles point but winning the match. It was the � rst time all season the Cats had won a match without the doubles point and foreshadowed what was to come against Michigan.
� en, on Saturday NU beat No. 36 Ohio State in a match not quite as lopsided as the 4-0 � nal score indicates. � e Cats faced some danger in three of the six singles matches but won the other three before the Buckeyes could notch a point.
� at set up Sunday’s remarkable championship game and another conference title. Pollard, of course, said the winning doesn’t get old.
“It can’t.” she said. “You’re not going to win for-ever. I’m so blessed to have won as much as we have. We’ve got four new kids who’ve never experienced that, and it’s really important they experience that.”
