ESPN program to come to NU for 1st time since ‘90s By JOSEPH DIEBOLD and PATRICK SVITEK daily senior staffers @JosephDiebold @PatrickSvitek
Set your alarm clocks and get your custom signs ready, Northwestern fans. “College GameDay” is coming to your city. ESPN’s popular show previewing the day’s college football action will broadcast Saturday morning from the northern area of the Lakefill near Lakeside Field, NU spokesman Al Cubbage wrote Sunday in an email to The Daily. “GameDay” host Chris Fowler announced late Saturday night on Twitter that the show will return to Evanston for the first time in nearly two decades. Cubbage also said the show will be incorporated into Homecoming festivities. Homecoming was forced to cancel a 5K run, previously scheduled
Student who fell from window still in critical condition
The Northwestern student who fell out of a third-floor window at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house remained in critical but stable condition Sunday, according to hospital and University officials. Weinberg junior Matthew Cooney was taken to Evanston Hospital on Tuesday morning and underwent successful surgery later that night. He was critically injured at the time. Hospital spokeswoman Andrea Mitchell said Cooney’s condition did not change over the weekend. Critical but stable condition usually means patients are not at risk of death but expected to stay in the hospital until their health improves. Fire officials believe Cooney was not able to leave his room in the fraternity house and was looking for another way out before he fell. University Police is investigating the incident. Mitchell had no further information on Cooney’s condition. — Patrick Svitek
for Saturday morning at the Lakefill. University Police will assist with security for the show, which typically draws large crowds of fans with flags and posters. “GameDay” will make its first appearance in Evanston since 1995 to preview the No. 16 Wildcats’ Saturday night matchup against No. 4 Ohio State. The team for the game’s ABC broadcast will join Saturday’s battle: Play-by-play man Brent Musburger (Medill ‘61) and color commentator Kirk Herbstreit (Ohio State ‘93) will watch their alma maters square off at Ryan Field. “GameDay” also broadcast from Wrigley Field in 2010, when NU took on Illinois. Among the show’s traditions are sweeping shots of fervent crowds and a segment in which the hosts select who they expect to win the day’s significant games. At the end of the show, host Lee
Corso dons the mascot head of the school he thinks will win in the game from which “GameDay” is held. The announcement put to rest long-simmering speculation about ESPN’s interest in Evanston, especially as both the Wildcats and Buckeyes enter conference play undefeated with their eyes on the Big Ten title. Evanston first heard the network was considering NU for “GameDay” about two weeks ago, city manager Wally Bobkiewicz said Friday evening. He recently talked about the prospect with his counterpart in Ann Arbor, Mich., where the show broadcast from Sept. 7 when Michigan played Notre Dame. “When the announcement’s made, everything starts moving very quickly,” Bobkiewicz said the Ann Arbor official told him. Bobkiewicz added that the city » See GAMEDAY, page 10
Rapper and actor Donald Glover, also known by his stage name Childish Gambino, will headline A&O’s Fall Blowout concert Oct. 11, the organization announced Sunday night. University President Morton Schapiro made the announcement through a video on A&O’s website. “Hey Wildcats, this year I’m very excited to say that the headliner for Blowout is a very talented performer that you guys handpicked in the poll last spring,” Schapiro said in the video. “Are you ready? Childish Gambino.” Gambino, who starred as Troy Barnes in NBC’s sitcom “Community,” released his debut album “Camp” — which included hits “Bonfire” and “Fire Fly” — for Glassnote Records in 2011. The Blowout opening act has yet to be announced. A&O spokeswoman Rosalind Mowitt said the group selected
Gambino because of the results of a poll students took in the spring. She added that this was the first time the organization sent out a poll specifically for Blowout. “Childish ended up being the highest-ranked person available and within our price range, which is the first time we have been able to do that,” she said. A&O chairman Demetrios Cokinos said he’s excited for Gambino to bring his “diverse talent” to campus. “He’s such a different kind of rapper,” he said. “For me, I love Donald Glover and everything else he has done with TV and sketch comedy on YouTube.” Mowitt said Gambino reminds her of a typical Northwestern student. “I think it’s funny because he’s almost the perfect fit for Northwestern,” she said. “When I think about what differentiates the Northwestern student body, (it) is definitely that mindset of a really well-rounded » See A&O, page 10

ETHS students to build low-income home By SAMMY CAIOLA
daily senior staffer
Evanston Township High School students are trading pencil cases for toolboxes this fall as they delve into Geometry in Construction, a new class in which they build a fully functional home for a low-income Evanston family. The 60 students enrolled in the class started the construction project at the beginning of the school year and will be ready to work on the floors this week. The course syllabus says students will gain hands-on experience in construction skills ranging from plumbing to siding. The students are also learning advanced math as they deal with blueprints for the project, said Matthew Kaiser, an industrial technology teacher who co-leads the class with Maryjoy Heineman of the mathematics department. The ETHS curriculum for the class was inspired by a similar project that started eight years ago at
Serving the University and Evanston since 1881
Loveland High School in Colorado. City and school officials gave the green light last fall, and the teachers have been planning ever since, Kaiser said. “The idea is that the construction guides the geometry,” Kaiser said. “In Colorado, where the project started, students were able to take the concepts from the math and directly apply them to building the house. And in doing so, they saw a tremendous gain in their test scores.” The house, which is being built in an empty parking lot near the ETHS tennis courts, will eventually be transported to a city-owned vacant lot at 1941 Jackson Ave. Rob Anthony, executive director of Community Partners for Affordable Housing, a Highland Park, Ill.based nonprofit organization that has signed on to sell the house, said he expects to place it in the $100,000 to $120,000 bracket and already has a waiting list of buyers. He said he is not concerned about high school students building the home because it will still be
overseen by professional contractors and inspected by city officials. “It will be a well-built, quality
“
In Colorado, where the project started, students were able to take the concepts from the math and directly apply them to building the house. Matthew Kaiser, ETHS teacher house,” Anthony said. “It’ll be a great value for a family looking for a brand new home. I think we’ll have no trouble finding a buyer.” Anthony said part of the profits from the house will fund the class project next year. The house will be one story high with a long, narrow shape that is easy to transport and fits well in the vacant lot. Most materials, including
window panes and furniture sets, are being donated or discounted by the Evanston ReBuilding Warehouse, a nonprofit organization that promotes the use of recycled materials in construction. “It’s the green way to go,” said Lou Dickson, executive director of the warehouse. “A lot of the older materials are better than the newer ones. If you throw it away and buy something new, it’s just using more energy.” The city partially funded this year’s project, and the Evanston Community Foundation gave it a $10,000 grant. Sara Schastok, president and CEO of the foundation, said the project complements many of her organization’s goals. “Given our interest in the workforce readiness of Evanston young adults and in affordable housing in Evanston, it was a great opportunity for us,” she said. The new course has two sections, each of which meets once a day. » See ETHS, page 10

Chicago businesses to open joint location By JULIAN GEREZ
the daily northwestern @JGerez_news
Two staple Chicago businesses, Dollop Coffee Co. and Hoosier Mama Pie Company, are joining forces to open a shared location next month in Evanston. The expansion was a natural option for the companies’ owners. Dollop serves Hoosier Mama pies at its Chicago locations and Dan Weiss, owner of Dollop, knew that Hoosier Mama was looking for a bigger space. Explaining the partnership, Weiss said Hoosier Mama’s pies would “fly off of his shelves.” At 750 square feet, the pie company’s Chicago location did not have enough space to offer espresso, owner Paula Haney said. “Dan [Weiss] feels the same way about coffee as we do about pies,” Haney said. “It really seems like a good fit.” Haney called Evanston a “good pie kind of town” and said her customers often drive from the North Shore to the Chicago shop. Weiss agreed, saying he went to high school in Evanston and grew up writing in the city’s coffee shops. The new space is located on the ground floor of the AMLI Residential apartment building, 749 Chicago Ave., by the Main Street CTA station
and will offer Hoosier Mama’s renowned handmade pies and Dollop’s home-brewed coffee. The shop will also serve a variety of breakfast and dinner options, including sandwiches that Hoosier Mama was unable to make in its old space due to size restrictions. Even though Dollop has three other locations throughout Chicago, Weiss prides himself in that each of his stores do not have a predetermined final image when he opens them. “I like to open up cafes that really suit the neighborhood that they are in,” Weiss said. “They are not cookie-cutter cafes. They are coffee shops that are going to continually grow and change.” Despite that fact, Weiss says the biggest goal for Dollop is to continue expanding as long as he has the energy to do so. Haney said Hoosier Mama plans to stay in the Chicago area because it makes all its pies by hand. Dollop uses coffee beans from around the world and roasts them at Metropolis Coffee in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood, Weiss said. Hoosier Mama finds most of its produce at farmers’ markets, baking pies seasonally, with the exception of apple. “There would be riots if we didn’t have apple pie year-round,” Haney said. Weiss said the new location will “definitely”
A Chicago resident was arrested Wednesday night after trying to buy a pain killer with a fake prescription at a drug store near the Evanston border, according to police. Sadija Husanovic, 29, was charged with forgery in connection with the incident at CVS, 101 Asbury Ave. Husanovic, of the 7300 block of North Hoyne Avenue, admitted to illegally signing
a doctor’s name to attempt to purchase Percocet and an antibiotic, Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said. Husanovic stole a blank prescription pad from the doctor about three months ago, Parrott said Husanovic is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 7.

On Campus Homecoming to prep for game with ‘90s events By CAT ZAKRZEWSKI

HOMECOMING VOICE ESPN radio personality Mike Greenberg (Medill ‘89) will lead the 2013 Homecoming Parade. He will also broadcast his show, “Mike & Mike,” from campus as part of the festivities.
Northwestern Homecoming will bring back old favorites of students and alumni in the coming week with new events based on 1990s popular culture. Fans of Nickelodeon’s “All That” will be able to check out Homecoming court’s take on the popular variety show at “All Cat” on Wednesday at 8 p.m. Those who grew up dreaming of competing on “American Gladiators” can take on an inflatable obstacle course on Deering Meadow on Tuesday afternoon. Homecoming events kicked off Sunday afternoon with the second annual Color Roar, which Homecoming co-chair Kate Geraghty said set a new attendance record and raised about $1,500 for the Summer Internship Grant Program. “I’m still picking paint out of my eyelashes,” the Weinberg senior said with a laugh Sunday afternoon.

City learns about environmentally friendly living By JENNIFER BALL
the daily northwestern @Jennifercball
The seventh annual Evanston Green Living Festival gave environmentally conscious organizations a platform to showcase their products, services and ideas Saturday. “It was started seven years ago as a way for residents to try and decrease their carbon footprint,” said Claire Alden, the event’s co-chair. About 1,000 people attended the festival at the Evanston Ecology Center, 2024 N. McCormick Blvd, Alden said. The event featured more than 70 booths and was sponsored by the city, the Evanston Environmental Association and other businesses and organizations. The festival was themed “Preserving and Protecting the Urban Forest.” Paul D’Agostino, assistant director of public works for parks and forestry, and city arborist Mark Younger were keynote speakers for the event. Communities with a healthy tree population receive substantial benefits including better air quality, more outdoor activity and economic prosperity, Younger said. The event featured a forestry walk exhibit to educate people about the insect called the emerald ash borer, which is essentially “choking” Evanston’s ash trees, D’Agostino said.
“Evanston as a community was known for its trees, and we’ve lost so many,” said Marcia Ellis, a member of the Evanston Environmental Association. The loss of city trees began with Dutch Elm Disease attacking the elm trees, and the city replaced the elms with ash trees, she said. Then the emerald ash borer began attacking the ash trees, Ellis said. “We’re going through this process of trying to achieve a reforestation of Evanston,” she said. The city developed a fund to replace trees infested with the emerald ash borers but is now looking to plant more diverse trees. However, residents who lost trees on their street may have a replacement tree that is significantly smaller. Activities for children and free bicycle rickshaw rides were also offered at the festival. The Evanston Office of Sustainability handed out out recycling guides, light bulbs and bike maps to those in attendance. Evanston resident Mike Moran was on a bike ride with his family when they decided to stop by the event. “We didn’t know about all the handouts,” he said. “The kids are really excited about it.” Attendees were encouraged to walk, ride their bicycles or take public transportation to the festival. The booths ranged from green products and services to the debut of Tiny House, an environmentally

friendly building made by former and current Northwestern students. “It’s a growing movement,” said William Fan (McCormick ‘11), one of the students who created Tiny House. “In Evanston, they want to increase the awareness of environmental programs.” Ellen Frier, a festival volunteer and former employee of the ecology center, said the event aimed
to show how easy it is to start living an environmentally conscious life. “It is important for the community to know about the many opportunities for decreasing your carbon footprint,” Frier said. “There are little things you can do and choices you can make.” jenniferball2015@u.northwestern.edu
NU researcher knocks Republicans on food stamps By JOSEPH DIEBOLD
daily senior staffer @josephdiebold
A Northwestern researcher is pushing back against the House of Representatives’ vote to cut $40 billion from food stamps — and she says she has the data to prove her point. The House voted Sept. 19 to cut funding by $40 billion over 10 years from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as the food stamps program. While 217
Republicans voted for the bill, 195 Democrats and 15 Republicans voted against it. The bill now awaits action in the Senate, and President Barack Obama has pledged to veto it even if it does pass. SESP Prof. Diane Schanzenbach, a researcher at NU’s Institute for Policy Research, says Republicans’ cries that the welfare program is being abused miss the positive economic impact SNAP has on low-income families. “What we are finding is that the positive aspects of the program, such as lifting families out of poverty and better adult health for those
who were in the program as children, are being ignored in the funding debates,” Schanzenbach said in a news release. “Our research indicates that SNAP should be seen as an investment in human welfare — not a vicious welfare trap.” Schanzenbach co-authored a study with University of California, Berkeley Prof. Hilary Hoynes, finding that the introduction of the food stamps program from 1963 to 1975 led to increases in food spending by participating families. In a related study, she found that initiating the program at the county level led to improved infant health, including reducing low-weight
births by 7 percent for whites and between 5 and 11 percent for blacks. She said the impact of her research should not be lost on policymakers. “In these difficult times of budget cuts and fiscal wrangling, it’s crucial for policymakers to have information that allows them to gauge the program’s short- and long-term benefits — particularly for children — measured across a wide variety of outcomes,” Schanzenbach said in the release. josephdiebold2015@u.northwestern.edu

City artists display 2nd annual free showcase By JENNIFER BALL
the daily northwestern @jennifercball
Jennifer Ball/The Daily Northwestern
ON DISPLAY An Evanston artist presents his work to potential customers Friday evening at Art Hop. The second annual showcase gave residents free access to galleries and other displays.
Evanston artists organized a free showcase in the city’s West Village on Friday, giving residents a glimpse of new galleries and open studios. Lea Pinsky, one of the event’s organizers, said she hopes the Art Hop will be at least biannual. “This is the second one we’re doing,” Pinsky said. “I’m really excited about the communitybuilding aspect of it.” Space 900, where Pinsky shows her art, was one of many galleries and studios in the area that opened up for the night. More than 12 organizations joined in the second event of its kind to feature open studios, gallery exhibitions, a craft beer tasting, a variety of demos, an open mic and a live jazz jam. The first Art Hop was in June. In addition to the open gallery, Space 900, 1042 Wesley Ave., hosted jazz artist Donovan Mixon and offered beer tastings from Temperance Brewery, which recently opened a warehouse at 2000 Dempster St. Alice George, another Art Hop organizer, shares King George Studio and Gallery with artist Jill King. King estimated 200 people came to their gallery Friday night.
A few blocks away, Ausrine Kerr will rent out Art Room, a gallery space on Florence Avenue, to artists to create their own shows or to employ the workspace. Fran Joy, a member of the Evanston Arts Council, said renting the Art Room space out to artists is “really commendable.” Jhana Chinamasta said she rented Ausrine’s Art Room for a textile show. “This place is such an asset to anyone who’s in Evanston,” Chinamasta said. Joy said Chinamasta’s collection contained what she considers “museum-quality” textiles. “I didn’t know we had such an art community in this area,” said Hugh Gilbert, who lived with his wife in Evanston for 23 years. He attended the printmaking demo at The Evanston Print and Paper Shop, located next to Ausrine’s Art Room, and called it “just charming.” “We’re thrilled to have artists and craftsmen that have moved into this storefront,” said Joe Feinglass, a Feinberg professor who lives around the corner from the print shop. “I’m happy to have them here.” Art Hop attendees agreed the event shows how the city’s art community is growing. “People kept saying this is exactly what Evanston needs — a community art scene,” George said. jenniferball2015@u.northwestern.edu
NU report shows rise in disclosed bias incidents, drug violations
Northwestern’s annual Security and Fire Safety Report was released Sunday, revealing a small increase in reported bias incidents and minor drug violations. The report is issued each year in accordance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. It details statistics about fires and crimes that occurred on campus in the last three years. The number of hate crimes reported to University Police are included in the report. Although no bias-related assaults were reported in 2010 or 2011, three race-related simple assaults were reported in 2012. In general, the number of hate crimes reported over the last three years was low, totaling five bias-related vandalisms in the last three years and two intimidation incidents, in addition to the three simple assaults. Prior to the 2012 reporting period, the University formed the Bias Incident Response Team as an attempt to decrease the number of bias incidents that went unaccounted for. The report also includes the number of arrests and referrals made in relation to drug use and alcohol. There were 303 alcohol violation referrals and zero arrests for alcohol in 2012, the lowest figure in three years. UP attributes the decrease to the implementation of an alcohol and other drug sanctioning program, BASICS, in which students who commit alcohol-related violations are required to attend two one-hour meetings after their first offense. The number of drug violation referrals nearly double d f rom 2011 to 2012. In 2011, 42 referrals were made, compared with 79 referrals in the following year. However, only five drug-related arrests were Source: University Police made in 2012 compared to four made in 2011. UP said in the report the reason behind the increase in drug referrals was unknown. Burglaries decreased significantly in 2012 to 20 on the Evanston campus and one on the Chicago campus, in comparison with 46 Evanston burglaries and 11 Chicago burglaries in 2011. UP attributed the decrease to a secure pass building access system implemented in NU medical buildings in Fall 2011. — Amy Whyte

Deactivating Facebook made me value interactions THOMAS POLLICK
DAILY COLUMNIST
When I open my Internet browser, I sometimes automatically start typing in “facebook. com.� It’s not even a conscious decision. Even if I was originally planning to go to a different website, my fingers seem to type it in by themselves. Being addicted to Facebook is partly what it means to be a member of my generation. Going on Facebook is like a fix for our short attention spans, as we scroll through endless status updates and pictures of people we don’t really know. It’s addicting, fast and largely superficial, and I’ve found that most people my age wouldn’t try to argue otherwise. Last year, two of my close friends deactivated their Facebooks and described to me how liberating it was. No longer wrapped up in the buzz of social media, they told me how they felt calmer and had more free time as a result. I considered trying it for myself. At first, I didn’t think it was a good idea. Facebook felt like a necessity for my social life, something that everyone my age needed to have to keep up and stay connected with one another. Not having one would leave me disconnected with the people and events around me. When I tried it, though, I realized it was pretty easy to function without a Facebook. I could text or call people if I needed to contact them. Though I might have missed a few events on campus, I still knew about most of them through listservs and by word of mouth.
As weeks went by, I pretty much stopped thinking about Facebook altogether. My experience was pretty different than I anticipated. Instead of feeling disconnected with the people around me, I found that my interactions felt slightly more genuine. I appreciated my friends more when I actually got to see them. My social life could pause when I wanted it to, and things felt calmer just as my friends had described. I also noticed that I stopped judging situations based on how others would perceive them if I posted them online. I no longer would have funny moments and immediately think “Wow, that would make a great status update.� That’s what social media can do. It can make us more concerned with sharing experiences than living in them. It can make us compulsively think about how others would perceive certain situations in case we were to share them. After a few months without a Facebook, I was pretty set on being Facebook-free for the rest of my life. I had proved to myself that I didn’t need it, and that I was better off without it. I considered deleting it permanently. I firmly held on to this mindset until one summer night when I couldn’t sleep. It was 3 a.m., and I decided to reactivate my Facebook just to check it out. I logged on and scrolled through my news feed. It was exciting seeing statuses from people I mostly had forgotten about. I was about to log off when I got a message from a friend of mine that I hadn’t spoken to in a while. He was waiting for an early flight that was taking him back to school and asked me what I was doing up so late. We chatted for few minutes just catching up until he had to leave and get on his flight. Since then, I’ve kept my Facebook up. I
Exploring paths to grad school: Computer science Which stage is it in?
CHETAN PATIL
I have completed a major portion of what my adviser had in plan for me — the parallel software I developed is being used by members of CIERA for multiple research projects resulting in publications.
Bharath Pattabiraman has been a Ph.D. student in the department of electrical engineering and computer science in McCormick since 2009. He hails from Chennai, the “Detroit of India.� Pattabiraman spoke to me about his work and journey so far at Northwestern.
What is one of the most challenging things about this research?
DAILY COLUMNIST
When and why did you decide to do a Ph.D.?
Primarily, I had some research exposure during undergrad at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, India; however, right after graduation, although I was interested in pursuing research, I also wanted to explore how things are outside of academia. So I took up an industry job. I worked there for a couple of years and realized it was not like what I had thought or wanted at that point, so the immediate thing I wanted was to jump into research in the area of my interest.
Why Northwestern?
I had a double major in physics and engineering during undergrad. During that time, I had worked as an intern in two research institutions where I got exposed to using computational methods to solve problems in astrophysics. I found it very exciting, and such an interdisciplinary opportunity was available only in a few schools, NU being one of them.
Tell us about your research at NU.
I am a member of an interdisciplinary research group at Northwestern, CIERA (Center for Interdisciplinary Exploration and Research in Astrophysics), which is comprised of members from both the astrophysics and computer science faculty, among others. I develop high-performance software that parallelizes and links multiple existing astrophysical simulation codes. I devise novel parallel algorithms that can achieve good scalability and optimally utilize resources on heterogeneous supercomputing architectures with multi-core CPUs and GPUs. The codes simulate the evolution of what are called collisional N-body systems.
The interdisciplinary factor. At times, it feels like what I do is not significant enough in either domain, so it gives a feeling that one is falling through the cracks. However, it comes with a lot of positives to it, a few being the opportunity to learn, communicate and network with people from multiple research fields and the garnering of a unique combination of skills that only very few others in the entire world possesses.
realize that even though it’s addictive, I have friends around the world from throughout my life that I want to stay connected with, and I would lose a lot of those connections if I delete my Facebook. Although I still have my problems with Facebook, I just need to limit the time I spend on it, and I’ll probably be fine.

Hundreds bike Ridge Avenue in annual event
Sarah Nelson/Daily Senior Staffer
NO CARS ALLOWED An Evanston police officer directs traffic away from Ridge Avenue during Bike the Ridge on Sunday. The annual one-day event allows bikers to ride on Ridge between Church and Howard Streets.
By BAILEY WILLIAMS
the daily northwestern @news_BaileyW
Evanston shut down a two-mile stretch of Ridge Avenue on Sunday for hundreds of residents participating in the annual Bike the Ridge ride. The event, held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., drew cyclists of all ages, as well as rollerbladers, skateboarders, runners and scooter riders. They took over all lanes on Ridge Avenue between Howard and Church streets. “It’s just a really great Evanston event,” said Michael Miro, spokesman for the Ridgeville Park District. “It brings families out of their homes on a Sunday morning.” The park district was one of several sponsors of the cycling event, which also featured musical performances and food trucks at Ridgeville Park near the intersection of Howard Street and South Boulevard. Although the ride did not officially begin until 9

a.m., bikers were already on the route at 8:45 a.m. Some cross streets remained open with the assistance of traffic supervisors, but other intersections were closed for the event. Evanston resident Richele Escobar came with her 6-year-old son Julian Pamaran and her husband, who she said “try to ride as much as (they) can.” Her family aims to attend the event every year, she said. “You know, (my son) gets excited, he sees his classmates, his friends from school,” Escobar said. The ride also brought several groups to the Ridgeville Park area. St. Francis Hospital offered handouts on health, food and exercise. Whole Foods Market had free samples and coupons. There were also a few complimentary food and water stands, including a table with bananas and coffee near the intersection of Howard Street and Ridge Avenue. Children could also decorate their bikes with ribbons offered by one stand along the route. baileywilliams2017@u.northwestern.edu Institute to collaborate on the two organizations’ goals of education and public safety in the United States and South Korea, the University announced Wednesday.

wants to be as supportive as it can and ensure “minimum disruption” to residents. On Friday evening, Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said the force was already anticipating large crowds for NU’s matchup with Ohio State and would be prepared for “GameDay.” Wildside president Gram Bowsher said as of Sunday night, the student section’s executive board did not have plans firmed up for incorporating “GameDay,” but he anticipates that Wildside will plan programming. The SESP junior said the selection of NU as a host site is indicative of the positive steps the football program has taken. “GameDay” generally attends the most important game of the week, with a preference given to games on ESPN’s family of networks. “It’s a huge opportunity for the athletic department to get the Northwestern brand out there, show people who Northwestern is, the kind of student-athletes we have here, the fact that we do contend in the Big Ten every year, that the Northwestern of the 1980s, the Northwestern that lost 34 straight games, it’s a completely different program now and, as the football team entrance video says, ‘We’re here to stay,’” Bowsher said.

this year.” The Cats began 4-0 in conference play last season before stumbling in overtime to Iowa and getting blitzed 4-0 by Indiana in the Big Ten Tournament. The losses ended NU’s hopes of getting back to the postseason. Fuchs said those memories are what makes the team so dangerous moving forward. “I know this team won’t sit back,” Fuchs said. “Everyone knows what Indiana did to us last year, but this team won’t let down because of our memories from last year, and that’s a really good thing for the coach.”
Nebraska turned up the pressure and attacked the Cats on the back half of the defense. As much as NU got up front from its blocking, the team had massive problems stopping any attacks that got beyond the first row. Nebraska’s Kelsey Robinson and Kadie Rolfzen put on a show in Evanston, producing a combined 44 kills at a .411 clip. Robinson was especially dominant with 25 kills at .438, and combined with the Cornhuskers’ stellar blocking in the final two sets, it was too much for the Cats to deal with. Even though a loss is a loss, the effort wasn’t a total negative, coach Keylor Chan said. “I was really happy with everything but the outcome,” Chan said. “Obviously we wanted to win, and we had some execution errors and against a team of that caliber, you can’t have any execution errors. What I really liked was the consistency of play, and that kind of consistency can lead us to great things.” A weaker opponent the next day brought a better result. NU was up against Iowa (9-5, 0-2) Saturday night and took care of business. The Cats struggled out of the gate, frittering away points with a number of errors to fall down 11-12 in the first set. Then, the positives from the previous night prevailed. The blocking picked up, and the offense came on queue. NU knocked down 14 of the next 18 points to capture the first set 25-16. Closer scores of 25-22 and 25-20 followed, but those sets both ended in triumphs for the home squad. It was a straight-sets victory for the Cats, a promising result after a tough start to the weekend. Even better, the normally dominant senior Stephanie Holthus, who did her best with 20 kills against Nebraska, had help against Iowa. In addition to Holthus’ 12 kills against the Hawkeyes, freshman Kayla Morin had 16 and redshirt junior Katie Duchman produced 12 more, representing a three-pronged weapon that could serve NU well if it develops. “If everyone’s involved in the offense, it makes it a lot more formidable,” Morin said. “The other team doesn’t really know where we’re going to go.” Chan believes the team still needs to improve on the serving game and on the defense’s back end. The players know those flaws and are anything but down on their squad. “We’re pretty confident — we came out and we played hard both nights,” Paffen said. “Our play just keeps improving, so we’re going to do pretty well this year.”

BON APPETIT Creperie Saint Germain, 1512 Sherman Ave., offered crepes with chocolate sauce during Big Bite Night on Sunday. The restaurant drew a long line of students in front of the building.
More than 1,000 students tested out Evanston restaurants ranging from Andy’s Frozen Custard to That Little Mexican Cafe on Sunday. Thirty-two Evanston stores handed out free food samples as part of Associated Student Government and Downtown Evanston’s annual Big Bite Night. Throughout the event, students could pick up a bag, a booklet with a map of participating restaurants and coupons in front of Whole Foods Market, 1640 Chicago Ave., and the Rebecca Crown Center. Lulu’s owner Dan Kelch said he helped start
Big Bite Night several years ago when he and other Evanston store owners were concerned not enough students were eating off campus. “Now it has become more of a fun event for new students,” Kelch said. “There haven’t been any big changes because it’s worked great every year.” He said Big Bite Night has become a routine experience for Lulu’s, 804 Davis St. “At first it was difficult knowing how to organize and prepare for the event,” Cheesie’s Pub & Grub manager Chris Carr said. “Now, we know what we are doing and prepare the same dish every year.” Carr said Big Bite Night also benefits new restaurants. He said although some restaurants make large amounts of the same dish for the event, they like to prepare a variety of items from
the menu. “That way students can try food they might not normally order,” Carr said. “They really get to know what the store is about.” Weinberg senior Tanya Bhardwaj has gone to Big Bite Night every year while at Northwestern. She said she keeps coming back because she enjoys meeting new people. “I remember sharing a warm pizza slice with a girl I had just met in my dorm,” Bhardwaj said. “We’re now good friends. “The only frustrating part is waiting in long lines in front of some of the stores,” she added. “It can get cold, so I would advise people to skip the long lines,” Bhardwaj said. “There’s so many stops to go to.” amandagilbert2015@u.northwestern.edu

NU sweeps Big Ten opponents at home daily senior staffer @JoshWalfish
The weekend belonged to the Wildcats’ freshman class. No. 12 Northwestern got major contributions from its youngest players, defeating two Big Ten foes to kick off the conference slate. It is the second consecutive year the Cats won their first two conference games of the season. “For us to come out and play two dominating games statistically and across all lines … I’m really happy,” coach Tracey Fuchs said. “But we still need to get better each and every day.” NU’s weekend began with a battle against No. 14 Iowa on Friday. All 4 goals in the 4-3 overtime victory came from freshmen, with midfielder Dominique Masters recording a hat trick in regulation and forward Isabel Flens ending the game with a strike nine minutes into overtime. Flens’ weekend was just heating up as the freshman from the Netherlands scored twice in Sunday’s game, dominating 4-1 over No. 19 Michigan. Fuchs said she was surprised by how quickly Flens became comfortable on the field. “Usually it takes freshmen a good few months to take it to the next level,” Fuchs said. “She’s the fittest on our team, she’s got really handy skills, she’s got such great hand-eye coordination and she can find the back of the net. I’m really happy with her play this weekend.”
Troncelliti said NU was very happy to get such an emotionally No. 12 Northwestern charged win, but the team understood its work wasn’t yet No. 19 complete that Michigan weekend. “It was great to have No. 12 that revenge,” Northwestern Troncelliti said. “But we knew we had to forget about it Saturday, work really hard in practice and get ready for Michigan.” NU dominated Sunday’s contest from the opening whistle, peppering Michigan’s goal with 16 shots and forcing Wolverines’ goalie Haley Jones to make 10 saves. Troncelliti and Flens connected twice for goals, the first of which gave NU the lead at halftime. The second goal iced the game for the Cats as Troncelliti stayed calm with Jones charging her on two-person breakaway and slid a pass to Flens, who deposited it into the cage. Flens said the team learned a valuable lesson this weekend about how talented they are and where their limit is. “We’re great fighters and we’re a great team together,” Flens said. “The atmosphere is really good. We need to stay a good team, and we can go far No. 14 Iowa

NO TIME WASTED Freshman Isabel Flens scored the winning shot in overtime against Iowa on Friday and continued her attack Sunday, making half the goals in Northwestern’s 4-1 win over Michigan. Along with fellow freshman Dominique Masters, the midfielders combined for six of the Wildcats’ eight points this weekend in Evanston.
Friday’s matchup with the Hawkeyes seemed to be fairly routine for the Cats, who scored twice in the first 16 minutes of playoff penalty corners. NU took the 2-goal lead into the break, but Iowa scored three times in a 10-minute span in the middle of the second half to charge back and take a 1-point
advantage. However, the Cats found a way to equalize as Masters scored for the third time that day to send the game into overtime. In the extra session NU stormed the Iowa net, outshooting the Hawkeyes 4-0 in the first half of overtime. Junior Maddy Carpenter stopped Iowa’s first
shot of the frame, and the outlet pass to senior Tara Puffenberger gave her a 2-on-1 up the field. The midfielder made a deft pass to Flens and, after the original shot was denied by Kelsey Boyce, Flens flipped the ball over Boyce to give the Cats the victory. Sophomore midfielder Caroline

No. 7 Northwestern
Northwestern started this season’s Big Ten play with a win against Michigan at Ann Arbor, beating the Wolverines 2-0. The Wildcats (7-1-0) improved their away record to a clean 3-0 as they ground out another defensive-minded win. The Wolverines (2-3-3), however, slipped to their second loss at home. Coach Tim Lenahan stressed that NU’s style of play was the key to victory. “We were grinding today,” Lenahan said. “We got a 2-0 lead and forced the other team to break us down, so it’s not brain surgery. You’re not worried about rhythm. You’re just worried about the clock ticking, grinding and picking your moments to go forward. That’s what winning on the road in the Big Ten is all about.” Michigan outshot the Cats 15-5 throughout the game, and the Wolverines started threatening from the first whistle. Fortunately for NU, junior goalkeeper Tyler Miller was present at the very back to execute some crucial interventions. Miller was a defensive stalwart, making four saves throughout the game, and he praised the team for its collective effort when defending. The team’s defense has helped NU earn its sixth shutout of the season. It is also Miller’s sixth clean sheet of the season. “We knew they were going to come out early firing and pumped up,” Miller said. “We stayed organized in the back, and we were able to fight through it and get that first goal to put us up.” While the Cats maintained their stingy defensive play Saturday, their offense continued to link up well and push forward at the right moments. Freshman midfielder Brandon Medina

had a bit of luck and finesse when he struck first for NU in the 28th minute on a free kick. “It was a fortunate bounce and the goalie wasn’t expecting it,” Medina said. “I was very happy because we caught a break. They were all over us in the first 15 minutes, but then we got the goal. Then we just had to stay focused.” The breakthrough was crucial and gave the Cats some breathing room from the Wolverines: NU outshot Michigan 7-2 in the first half. Things didn’t change very much in the second half, which was almost a carbon copy of the first, with the Wolverines outshooting NU. The difference between those halves is how NU scored. The quality linking up between Medina and sophomore forward Joey Calistri was sublime. Calistri connected with a pass from Medina in the 47th minute to give the Cats some insurance as they went deeper into the second half, and the pair of goals proved to be enough to give them a win to start the Big Ten playing schedule. “It’s always huge to start with a win,” Miller said. “We’ve got to carry that momentum. You feel more comfortable being one up instead of 0-1. We have that, so now we have to dig in and prepare for Bradley on Wednesday.” The Cats will look for their eighth consecutive win as they host Bradley University on Wednesday night at Lakeside Field. enriqueperez2015@u.northwestern.edu

Northwestern (9-5, 1-1 Big Ten) opened its conference schedule this weekend against Nebraska and Iowa, experiencing two days full of progress and frustration. The WildNo. 12 cats faced the Nebraska No. 12 Cornhuskers at Welsh-Ryan Northwestern Arena on Friday night, and two years after NU shocked Iowa the visitors in four sets, it was Nebraska’s turn to Northwestern win it in four. That didn’t mean the victory was easy, though, especially in front of a fired-up and hostile crowd. “It was a really exciting atmosphere, first night of Big Tens,” said Kayla Morin, a freshman outside hitter. “It kind of felt like the first real home match we’ve had, just with the bands and the fans. It was really electrifying.” The Cornhuskers were hardly affected by the crowd at the start. Nebraska (9-2, 2-0) charged out in the first frame, cruising to a 25-16 opening-set win. NU then responded in a big way, using a bevy of blocks to stake itself out to a 6-1 lead in set number two and holding on from there for a 25-20 score that put the match at 1-1. Blocking was a key theme in practice for the Cats this week and manifested itself beautifully, not only in this set but also for the entire weekend.

ROOFED Defensive specialist Abbie Kraus played in both Wildcat matches over the weekend. The defense showed its strength over the weekend as junior Savannah Paffen set a career-high eight blocks facing the Cornhuskers and nearly repeated the feat Saturday, stopping the Hawkeyes cold seven times.
“We worked on blocking so much this past week, blocking from attacks, transitioning from pin to middle,” said Savannah Paffen, the junior middle blocker who had 15 block assists this weekend. “It really came in handy these two days. You can see that in our number of blocks per game.” Indeed, NU compiled 19 total
blocks in seven sets over the weekend, executing 2.7 blocks per set, more than a half point over its season average. However shored up that part of the game was, the momentum from the second set quickly evaporated. » See VOLLEYBALL, page 10
