SUIT AND TIE NU INiTtI A TIVE SO Native American Outreach A report released Monday by Northwestern's Native Ameri- can Outreach and Inclusion Task Force outlined a series of recom- mendations for Northwestern University, the Daily Northwest- ern reported. The report offers more than 50 ways that the University can improve their relationship with Native American communities on campus, including creating an Indigenous Research Center and renaming programs and build- ings after University founder John Evans. It also calls for hiring a staff member within Multicul- tural Student Affairs to support Native American students. Northwestern Psychology Prof. Doug Medin, who served on the task force, was confident in the ways that the report will help increase Native American inclu- sion on campus. "The recommendations are both concrete and quite exten- sive," he said. "I think that indi- cates the seriousness with which Northwestern is beginning to address its relationship with Native nations and Native Ameri- can people."

A press release stated that the members of the fraternity had two accounts of sexual assault charged against them over the span of two years. There was not enough evi- dence to fully support the case that occurred in 2013. The case that took place in 2014, however, was found to have violated the USC Code of Student Conduct. Ainsley Carry, vice provost for student affairs, released a press statement Monday that criticized the fraternity for their behavior. She also expressed disappoint- ment in the entire fraternity through actions set forth by the members involved the case. - CARLYNOAH T H REE T HINGS YOU SH OULD KNOW TODAY Facebook will launch a new free mobile app for its Groups feature, which allows users to interact based on culture or hobbies, the Associated Press reported; Tuesday.

Her political career in jeop- ardy, Landrieu told reporters, "I'm going to fight for the people of my state until the day that I leave, and I hope that will not be soon." Rep. Bill Cassidy, Landrieu's Republican opponent, said that Louisiana families "need bet- ter jobs, better wages and bet- ter benefits," and the pipeline would provide them. Democratic divisions were on vivid display in a bill that pitted environmentalists against ener- gy advocates. While Obama opposes the measure, likely 2016 presiden- tial candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton has repeatedly refused to take a position. Most recently, her spokesman did not respond to two requests over the week- end to do so. Among Senate Democrats, 14 had publicly announced their support for the bill in the hours before the vote, but sev- eral whom Landrieu had hoped would provide the critical 60th vote needed for passage failed to step forward. Among retiring lawmakers. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, Tim Johnson of South Dakota and Tom Harkin of Iowa all said in advance they would oppose the bill. Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, who opened the door on Mon- day to becoming the 60th vote, slammed it shut a few hours later. Following violence and five deaths, tensions run high amid conflict JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel vowed harsh retaliation Tues- day for a Palestinian attack that killed five people and left blood-smeared prayer books and shawls on the floor of a synagogue in Jerusalem - an assault that sharply escalated already-high tensions after weeks of religious violence. The attack during morning prayers in the west Jerusalem neighborhood of Har Nof was carried out by two Palestin- ian cousins wielding meat cleavers, knives and a hand- gun. They were shot to death by police after the deadliest assault in the holy city since 2008. Four of the dead were rab- bis and one was a police offi- cer who died of his wounds hours after the attack. Three of the rabbis were born in the United States and the fourth was born in England, although all held dual Israeli citizenship. Five others were wounded. Palestinian President Mah- moud Abbas condemned the attack, the first time he has done so in the wave of deadly violence against Israelis. But he also called for an end to Israeli "provocations" sur- rounding Jerusalem's shrines that are sacred to both Mus- lims and Jews. President Barack Obama called the attack "horrific" and without justification, urging cooperation from both sides to ease tensions and adding that too many Israelis and Palestinians have died in recent months, Tuesday's attack, however, appeared to mark a turn- ing point, with the gruesome scene in a house of worship shocking a nation long accus- tomed to violence. The government released a photo of a meat cleaver it said came from the crime scene. Government video showed blood-soaked prayer books and prayer shawls in the synagogue. A pair of glasses lay under a table, and thick streaks of blood smeared the floor. "I saw people lying on the floor, blood everywhere," said Yosef Posternak, who was at the synagogue in the quiet neighborhood that has a large community of English- speaking immigrants. "People were trying to fight with (the attackers) but they didn't have much of a chance," Posternak told Isra- el Radio. In one of Israel's first acts of retaliation, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the demolitions of the homes of the attackers. But halting further violence could prove to be a tough challenge as police confront a new threat: Lightly armed assailants from annexed east Jerusalem who hold residency rights that allow them to move free- ly throughout the country. Netanyahu condemned the deaths of the "innocent and pure Jews." In a nationally televised address, he accused Abbas of inciting the recent violence and said the Pales- tinian leader's condemnation of the attack was insufficient. Hamas, the militant Pal- estinian group that runs the Gaza Strip, praised the attack. In Gaza, dozens celebrated in the streets, with some offer- ing trays full of candy. The U.S.-born victims were identified as Moshe Twer- sky, 59, Aryeh Kupinsky, 43, and Kalman Levine, 55. The Israeli Foreign Ministry said the British man was Avraham Goldberg, 68, who immigrat- ed to Israel in 1993. It described the four as "rabbis," an honorific title in the ultra-Orthodox world given to men who are consid- ered pious and learned. Twer- sky, a native of Boston, was the head of the Toras Moshe Yeshiva, a seminary for Eng- lish-speaking students. He was the son of Rabbi Isador Twersky, founder of Harvard University's Center for Jew- ish Studies, and a grandson Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, a luminary in the world of modern Orthodox Jewry.
