Northwestern Dean of Students Burgwell Howard says roudy student behavior last week threatens the school’s relations with the surrounding community.
Though NU makes many beneficial contributions to Evanston, including the Special Olympics and Campus Kitchens, irresponsible behavior by a few students can negate them, Howard said.
Northwestern Dean of Students Burgwell Howard says roudy student behavior last week threatens the school’s relations with the surrounding community.
Though NU makes many beneficial contributions to Evanston, including the Special Olympics and Campus Kitchens, irresponsible behavior by a few students can negate them, Howard said.
“All these things get erased because of the conduct of 10, 15 individuals,” he said. “Reputations are very easy to lose and very hard to get back.”
Residents of the neighborhoods west of campus reported students vandalizing construction signs along Maple Avenue and chanting as they walked in the streets, Howard said. In an e-mail sent to students at about 1 a.m. Saturday, he questioned the students’ behavior.
These action are “highly disappointing to the Dean’s Office and disheartening and infuriating to the other neighbors,” Howard said in the e-mail.
Two 22-year-old students received tickets Thursday for being too loud late at night, one on the 900 block of Gaffield Place and the other on the 800 block of Hamlin Street, said Evanston Police Department Cmdr. Tom Guenther.

And the temper tantrums should also stop
Dear Loud Student who lives on Hamlin
When I was awoken at 3am last night by your voice, the same voice responsible for most of the disturbance last week I thought…hell, can’t you just sleep at 3am like a normal human? It was such a beautiful night for sleeping and you wasted it.
And what was with the banging around?
Why do you need you to escalate this further?
