Students upset over changes to Fran’s

By Tyler Pager

the daily northwestern @tylerpager

Students craving late-night meals at Fran’s Cafe this quarter are finding fewer menu items and different staff members, changes they say have left them disappointed and confused.

A number of dishes are no longer offered at the Willard dining hall location, although nuCuisine staff provided different accounts of the menu revisions.

Staff alterations have also affected Fran’s, where some employees, including a former supervisor, were moved to other parts of campus.

The alterations were made over the summer due to a lack of business, said Joe Burdi, nuCuisine’s executive chef for South Campus.

“We reviewed our sales, and we were trying to identify our top sellers and which weren’t selling as well,” he said. “We also looked at the menu to ensure we are putting out the freshest quality product we could.”

The changes come as nuCuisine also cut down dining hours at Norris University Center at the beginning of Fall Quarter, citing budgetary reasons. Willie’s Food Court, with the exception of Subway

and North Shore Pizza Company, will be closed for dinner on weekdays this year.

Burdi said only four items were taken off the Fran’s menu: burritos, tacos, an Asian salad and sliders. He said they were replaced with more popular items such as full-sized burgers and additional sandwich options. NuCuisine spokesman Jason Sophian said a chipotle turkey panini was added to the menu and chicken tenders are now available as a side item.

“The menu is still a moving part,” Burdi said. “There can always be changes to the menu based on feedback.”

Burdi said nuCuisine will begin offering weekly specials at Fran’s next week and will consider placing them on the regular menu if they are popular with students.

Weinberg sophomore Laura Goldring said many people have been disappointed with the changes to the menu. “(Fran’s) was much more organized last year in terms of prices and options,” she said. “They added and subtracted things randomly.”

The changes to Fran’s prompted Bruce King, the location’s former supervisor, to encourage students to voice their dissent via social media, Willard residents and staff say.

Friends remember Maddula City mental health budget discussed

Friends of Harsha Maddula came together in Alice Millar Chapel on Wednesday night to remember his life.

The private gathering took place more than a year after Maddula, a McCormick sophomore, was found dead in the Wilmette Harbor on Sept. 27, 2012, five days after disappearing from an off-campus party.

Maddula’s death was ruled accidental — with a contributing factor of alcohol consumption — after a fivemonth investigation by Evanston Police ended in February.

The tragedy sent shockwaves through campus last academic year.

“I think it was important to do what we did,” said Medill junior Tessa D’Agosta, a friend of Maddula and one of the meeting’s organizers.

D’Agosta served with Maddula on the Public Affairs Residential College executive board last academic year.

About 15 people, mostly current and former PARC residents, attended the small and closed event, D’Agosta said.

Some attendees, including PARC master and gender and sexuality studies Prof. Lane Fenrich, spoke about Maddula.

“We had a moment where we passed out note cards and wrote

a message for Harsha and our thoughts,” D’Agosta said. “There was a moment of silence, and a couple people stood up and said a couple things about Harsha and how they were dealing with it.”

D’Agosta said the ceremony was especially meaningful because the University did not acknowledge Maddula one year later.

“If we hadn’t really done that, I don’t know if there would have been any way for people to express how much they were still thinking about

it,” she said.

Maddula family spokeswoman Padma Sonti said the family has “a very long road ahead of them to feel semi-normal.”

“It’s been a year, but nothing has changed for the family because it’s not something you can get over. It’s been really really rough,” Sonti said.

“They do appreciate the kind gesture. They’re very grateful for everybody remembering him.” jeannekuang2016@u.northwestern.edu

The Evanston Mental Health Board on Thursday night announced its proposed budget for fiscal year 2014, which includes nearly $81,000 more than last year’s total.

The proposed budget would be distributed among 15 agencies with 21 programs, including the Childcare Network of Evanston, Connections for the Homeless, Peer Services and Y.O.U Youth and Family Services.

The 2014 budget also includes a one-time request of $30,000 due to automatic spending cuts at the federal level that went into effect in March.

Board vice chair Kim Fisher said four of five members of the Human Services Committee support the proposed budget, and one member said the budget is a drop in the bucket compared to the services the Mental Health Board and associated agencies provide.

The meeting opened with a presentation on youth violence prevention from Joyce Bartz, special education services director for Evanston/Skokie School District 65.

Bartz touted the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports program, which promotes family and community involvement.

Bartz also updated the board on

Dodge Avenue, Parrott said. Police found several shell casings on the scene, which is about two blocks north of ETHS, 1600 Dodge Ave. Parrott said there is “no correlation” between the gunfire early Tuesday

District 65’s plan to address bullying, which involves educating school staff, reaching out to parents and holding class sessions.

“I think we have a big problem in terms of really providing the rights services to children,” Bartz said. “We have over 400 children who have been identified as homeless. ... The economics issue and the difficulties for a lot of families impact the parents being able to provide some of the stability that many of these children need.”

The board also discussed Curt’s Cafe, a nonprofit coffee shop that employs former convicts to provide them with job training and marketable skills.

Members debated whether the program is successful, especially in light of a $21,000 grant the cafe is requesting from the city.

Some board members supported Curt’s Cafe for attempting to deliver an important service, while others expressed concern about the program’s lack of results.

Some members said the issue relates to the board’s own purpose, which has evolved over the years.

“We fund more than just mental health services, and in our bylaws we fund human services,” board chair Allison Stark said. “Are we being fully utilized by council members or different other boards when there are agencies that are seeking funding?” melkins@u.northwestern.edu

Firefighters visited elementary school classrooms in Evanston/Skokie School District 65 throughout the week. Firefighter Steve Wojtowycz said they taught students concepts such as “stop, drop and roll,” “stay low and go,” and how to call 911.

“It’s important the kids know they can come to

Police said the woman may know who stole the jewelry, which is worth more than $500. Parrott said she named a suspect and police questioned the person, though no one is in custody.

Residents were invited into Evanston’s fire stations Thursday evening for the National Fire Protection Association’s annual fire prevention week.

As a part of several events throughout the week, on-duty firemen at the city’s five stations showed attendees different types of trucks and equipment.

They also explained how shifts work and what they do while at the firehouse.

“We wanted to see what life is like at the firehouse,” said Evanston resident Amanda Linder, who attended the event at Station 1 with her husband and three sons. “You can get an inside glimpse besides just seeing the truck go by your house.”

Station 1, 1332 Emerson St., also held a fire prevention program Sunday. The event featured fire extinguisher training, a fire safety demonstration on a kitchen stove, games for kids and an appearance by Willie the Wildcat.

Evanston fire Capt. John Roche said the prevalence of fires across the country is lower than in the past because of less smoking and advancements in fire-resistant construction. Cooking is now the leading cause of home fires, according to the National Fire Protection Association.

Across Campuses Degrees at risk for UNC students who took fraudulent classes

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — There’s been no mad rush by University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill students and alumni to sign up for free make-up classes to replace fraudulent ones they took in the African and Afro-American Studies department.

So far, only one student has enrolled in a make-up course and only one alumnus has inquired about the possibility, university officials said.

Forty-six people are at risk of not graduating unless they complete an extra course, and only one has enrolled at this point, UNC spokeswoman Dee Reid said.

“We don’t know the others’ intentions; they may be planning to pursue their degree requirements over an extended period of time, as some former students do,” she wrote in an email response.

Reid said she didn’t know what year of study the 46 affected students are in or how many of them are athletes. They have the option of taking a course, sitting for a special exam or presenting prior work to be evaluated by faculty. The three options will be available to the students as long as they are pursuing a degree, Reid said.

The offer of free courses was part of an arrangement the university made with its accrediting body, the Southern Association of College and Schools Commission on Colleges. It’s an effort to “make whole” the academic degrees of 384 students and alumni who took 39 fraudulent

classes between 1997 and 2009 in the African and Afro-American Studies department then chaired by Julius Nyang’oro.

In June, the commission’s board voted to accept UNC-CH’s plan to offer the classes, choosing to monitor the university in the coming months rather than impose a sanction. The accrediting body had sent a team to the university early this year to review the problems.

A sanction such as a warning or probation would have been a blow to the university, already bruised from athletic and academic scandals in the past few years. Such penalties can be a prelude to revoked accreditation and a loss of federal funds.

The suspect courses in the African and AfroAmerican Studies department were disproportionately enrolled with athletes. The university has blamed the fraud on the former department chairman, Nyang’oro, and a former department manager, Debbie Crowder. They no longer work for the university.

In all, 80 students and 304 alumni were identified as having taken so-called “Type 1” lecture classes in which the instructor denied teaching or signing the grade roll, or which the department chairman said had not been taught.

There is no mandate for the 304 alumni to return to campus for a do-over. Because university policy requires that transcripts are sealed one year after graduation, there would be no way to award credit or a grade for a new class.

Student views vary on ASG tobacco resolution By sophia bollag

daily senior staffer @SophiaBollag

A resolution that would ban tobacco products on campus brought before the Associated Student Government Senate on Wednesday night has been receiving mixed reactions from students.

Olivia Morales said she does not think implementing a tobacco-free policy would make a noticeable difference.

“I don’t think a lot of students on our campus smoke to begin with,” the McCormick junior said.

“So making it tobacco free, I don’t think it’s going to make much of a change.”

Jackie Elder, who said she smokes “occasionally,” also opposes a ban.

“I think it’s unnecessary,” the Communication junior said. “Smoking outdoors doesn’t have that big of an effect on the people around. I’m completely for banning smoking inside buildings, but I think it’s a little excessive to ban smoking on an entire campus.”

NU Public Health Club president Carolyn Huang, who wrote the resolution, said she believes banning tobacco products and e-cigarettes would improve campus significantly.

“There are a lot of economic benefits, and then there also obviously are a lot of health benefits as rust-proof, and they came back with about six concepts.”

The winning concept was a maze-like puzzle designed by McCormick seniors Matthew Crocker and Samantha Hatfield, Communication senior Sofia Maspons and McCormick junior Chloe Frizelle. They worked on the project for two quarters with John Anderson, a lecturer in the Writing Program, and John Lake, a lecturer in the Segal Design Institute.

there are no safe levels of second-hand smoke, and now there’s also a concern of third-hand smoke,” the Weinberg senior said. “It’s something that a lot of schools nationally are doing.”

Northwestern would join almost 800 tobacco-free college campuses if it adopts such a policy, according to the American Nonsmokers’ Rights Foundation.

A vote on the resolution is scheduled for next week.

If it passes, ASG will officially voice its support for the University to adopt a tobacco-free policy.

“Their support … would be a huge step toward making Northwestern a tobacco-free campus,” Huang said.

Huang said she believes the ban would make walking on campus more pleasant and healthful.

“Just from personal experience, having to walk through a cloud of smoke either when you’re leaving a dorm or when you’re leaving the library … it’s unavoidable because you do have to walk those areas,” she said.

Morales suggested that there might be a middle ground.

“I don’t think it’s unreasonable to have some sort of compromise where there are places to smoke or a rule about not smoking right outside a residence or a campus building,” Morales said. “But making it tobacco-free entirely seems kind of unreasonable.” sophiabollag2016@u.northwestern.edu tossing a special hollow ball stuffed with shrimp into the maze.

City Council, let’s replace the ‘eyesore of Evanston’ meredith goodman

Daily columnist @merbear_77

I call it the “eyesore of Evanston,” that ever-present empty storefront smack dab in the middle of the nicest part of downtown.

Sandwiched between Chipotle and Andy’s, two storefronts with gleaming counters and abundant business business, I can’t believe this space has been empty for more than two years. With prime real estate only two blocks from campus, it should be home to more than panhandlers asking me for money. Here are five possible replacements — Evanston City Council, take note:

1. A breakfast nook

We have Einstein Bros. Bagels, Panera Bread and Cosi for fast, casual breakfasts, and JT’s and Clarke’s for fancier ones, but any college town needs a mom-and-pop breakfast shop. We need a place where you can run in and grab breakfast tacos (a distinctly Texan option), warm donuts, flaky hash browns and a cheap omelet. Not a fancy brunch-withyour-parents breakfast spot, but a working man’s breakfast joint — or, in this case, a working college student’s grub. Imagine coffee, donuts and omelets made cheaply and wrapped up to go. Yeah, I would take that for study fuel any day.

2. A greasy burger joint

Maybe it’s just the movies, but I imagined going out for late-night burgers in college at the campus hot spot. Perhaps Mustard’s Last Stand fulfills this function, but it is a shuttle ride away from campus. Edzo’s is delicious, but its weird hours leave me searching for other grease bombs late at night. And although Burger King is definitely greasy, I want to experience the traditional college grill, with ancient Northwestern paraphernalia covering the walls and the initials of students carved into tables.

I want a food joint that lives up to the college ideal, such as the recently closed Michigan’s Blimpy Burger. And when students are done downing burgers with layers of juicy fat, cheese fries and onion rings, we can go to any of the four ice cream shops within a one-block radius.

3. A laundromat

An Evanston Apple Store would not only serve the students and faculty of NU — most of whom I’d say use Apple computers — but also the larger Evanston population.

4. An Apple Store

5. Chick-fil-A

“

Although I have gotten help from the campus outlet, Evanston deserves its own fully stocked Apple Store. Though the space may be limited, Evanston needs and deserves the full Genius Bar experience.

I have heard horror stories of students’ MacBooks breaking and having to be schlepped to the Lincoln Park Apple Store in order to get help. There is an Apple Store in the Old Orchard Mall, but most students don’t have time to catch a shuttle to the mall.

NU quarter system should be improved william mclaughlin daily columnist

It’s become a ritual. Every August, Northwestern students say goodbye to collegebound friends with classes nowhere in sight.

This puzzling anomaly is not just another campus quirk — it’s a nuisance to students and faculty.

I am convinced the quarter system has a net benefit. Students can not only graduate on time but also double or triple major. A single grade counts for very little in the grand scheme of things. And students can take time off to pursue internships, travel or be a ski bum without many consequences.

NU is not alone in its schedule-around-us approach. Stanford University began classes this year on Sept. 23 and will end June 4. The University of Chicago also begins late September and ends mid-June. And at UCLA “instruction” begins the last full week of September, with spring quarter ending the second week of June.

But Dartmouth College has a cleverer and ultimately more student-friendly approach.

Classes begin Sept. 16 and final exams end June 3. The advantage for Dartmouth students, who spend one summer on campus during their undergraduate years, covers both their time at the university and their summer plans.

If NU shifted the calendar a week earlier, students would have more choice with their summer plans. Final exams end June 13 this year. But many internships, study abroad programs and research at other universities begin in May when other schools finish. I know students at NU who had to drop certain

This fall, NU’s home opener more choice against Syracuse was with their Sept. 7, long before summer plans. classes were in session. A shift to an earlier start would align both our academic and athletic calendars.

NU is a great warm weather campus. The Lakefill, deserted in the winter months, welcomes droves of students in the first and last two weeks of school. If school were to begin a week or two earlier, students could enjoy life outdoors on campus for an entire month.

Especially for new students, whose memories of sun will fade in the winter, this extra sunny time could help them through the long cold front.

NU is part of small-but-strong group of universities that sees value in the quarter system. There are worthy scholastic and institutional reasons for not switching to semesters.

But we must also recognize the flaws of our calendar and work to fix them.

It seems Chick-fil-A may be the most divisive fast food restaurant. Some southerners swear by its delicious, greasy chicken nuggets and somewhat-healthy chicken sandwiches, as well as its lemonade and milk shakes. Oh, and the waffle fries, those crispy squares of goodness. Do you really think I forgot about the waffle fries?

Despite its infamous corporate culture, Chick-fil-A’s individual franchises are wellrun and provide prompt, clean service. I’ve

been trying to eat healthier this year, and I probably shouldn’t give Chick-fil-A an opportunity to tempt me — but its baskets of golden chicken nuggets wouldn’t hurt me once in a while.

So, entrepreneurs and city leaders, I hope we can all agree to get rid of the “eyesore of Evanston” and turn the empty storefront into a productive business to further enhance downtown. And if you need any specific menu suggestions, you know where to reach me.

The Daily Northwestern, Northwestern students, and the entire Northwestern community: First, let me express my excitement for joining the Northwestern community. I was drawn to the position of Executive Director of University Career Services because of the excellence of Northwestern and its students.

I appreciate Mr. McLaughlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments about our services and look forward to meeting more students over the next year to learn about their specific career needs. Feedback from Northwestern students is crucial to our success in providing exemplary career services.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already begun enhancing our counseling, advising, programming and employer relations offerings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a vision that started last year with our Vice President of Student Affairs, Patricia TellesIrvin. These advancements are driven by input we received in many focus groups with Northwestern students, employers and academic partners. â&#x20AC;˘ This quarter, we are concentrating on making it easier for students to access our services through the following additions:A new advising model that allows staff members to work with students from a particular school and create individualized plans specific to each studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career goals. Students will now have one adviser throughout their time at Northwestern. â&#x20AC;˘ Drop-in express hours every day in one location on campus (the UCS Express Advising Center in the Main Library) to increase the number of students we can serve daily. â&#x20AC;˘ Online scheduling that will allow students to make counseling and advising appointments at their convenience rather than calling UCS. Full rollout of online scheduling will occur throughout the quarter.

Northwestern has also invested in a substantial upgrade of our building on Lincoln Street to create a warm, professional environment for students to meet with staff and interview with employers. If you have not had a chance to visit, please stop by our offices or schedule an appointment.

Alterations to UCS are still underway, and we anticipate continuing to grow and develop our services each year. Mr. McLaughlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s editorial mentioned the need for students to receive fieldspecific information about their career goals. High on my agenda is to create opportunities for alumni to educate students about their fields and provide guidance on how to successfully find internships and entry-level career options. It is through a partnership of UCS staff, Northwestern alumni, and employer partners that I believe will ensure the success of our students and alumni.

All the staff members at UCS, including myself, look forward to working closely with every Northwestern student so that each may set career goals and develop the skills necessary for success-.

Wisconsin Badgers (3-2) vs.

Northwestern Wildcats (4-1)

rush hour The Northwestern defensive line digs in during the team’s game against Maine.

The Wildcats’ line will be key in slowing down Wisconsin’s rushing attack Saturday.

daily senior staffer

By junior linebacker Collin Ellis’s estimate, he alone missed seven tackles against Ohio State, part of a Northwestern clinic on how not to tackle a bruising running back. On Saturday, the Wildcats can’t afford a repeat performance.

But that’s easier said than done.

Wisconsin, NU’s opponent, is one of the best rushing teams in the country. The Badgers lead the nation with 7.4 yards per carry and top the Big Ten in rushing yards despite fewer attempts than half the conference.

NU football coach Pat Fitzgerald said the rushing attack reminds him of Wisconsin teams from the 1990s, when coach Barry Alvarez (now the the school’s athletic director) led the program to previously unprecedented relevance with help from backs like Heisman winner Ron Dayne.

“I-formation football,” Fitzgerald said, explaining the scheme. “Using very talented tight ends in a lot of different way to try to outnumber you at the point of attack.”

Carries for the Badgers in 2013 have been split almost evenly between James White and Melvin Gordon. Fellow running back Corey Clement has also seen extensive action for a team with 69 more rush attempts than pass attempts through five games.

All three backs have averaged at least 6.9 yards per carry, with Gordon’s incredible 10.3 mark leading the way. The sophomore is first in the conference in rushing yards (698) despite substantially fewer attempts than the rest of the top five.

White and Clement are close behind Gordon in yardage (473 and 334 yards, respectively), giving Wisconsin three of the conference’s 10 top rushers.

As much as those results are a product of talented ball carriers, they’re also attributable to the ability — and sheer girth — of the Badgers’ offensive lineman.

Wisconsin has long been known for beefy lineman plowing holes for grateful running backs, and this year the tradition

continues.

The Badgers’ five starting lineman average 321 pounds and all are at least 10 pounds heavier than the Cats’ biggest player.

At 265 pounds, NU senior defensive end Tyler Scott knows he’ll have his hands full with those linemen, figuratively and literally.

“It’s all about leverage and great footwork,” the honorable mention all-Big Ten senior said. “You’ve got to be more conscious of your fundamentals and your footwork. If you don’t keep your good footwork and you get your feet together or something, they’re just so strong that they can just toss you around.”

The Cats repeatedly failed to contain Ohio State’s Carlos Hyde, particularly in the second half of the their 40-30 loss to the Buckeyes on Saturday. The powerful running back tore through NU’s front seven, shedding tacklers for a career-high 168 yards and three touchdowns at Ryan Field.

“The things we need to work on, one for myself would be tackling,” Ellis said. “Around the defense we can be even tighter tacklers in general.”

Against an offense that will consistently create running lanes, the Cats need to work through blocks and bring down ball carriers the first chance they get. With starting defensive tackle Sean McEvilly injured, the onus is on fellow tackles junior Chance Carter and senior Will Hampton, as well as the linebacker unit, to prevent the big plays Wisconsin is capable of executing.

Ellis said the defense would watch extra film to help anticipate the Badgers’ play calls and focus on hitting the ball carrier rather than tackling with arms. Meanwhile, Fitzgerald, who said the team needs to get off the blocks more quickly, has made tackling a talking point in practice.

“That was a big thing that coach Fitz told us on Monday,” Scott said. “To be a good defense you’ve got to tackle and wrap up and bring those guys down because if not anybody in this league can go the distance.”

Secondary has hands full with Abbrederis daily senior staffer

For Northwestern to contain an improved Wisconsin aerial attack Saturday, the defense will need to call upon the help of the “Sky Team.”

“When passes go, we think that we should get every ball and control the sky,” junior safety Jimmy Hall said of the secondary.

Matt Harris has come on, I’ve been giving NU coach Pat Fitzgerald gushed about him hints. I room with Dwight on Fridays, so Abbrederis’ talent at a news conference we go over film together and give him some Monday and even compared him to former pointers and we help each other out.”

Football

Cats prepare for rowdy environment in Madison By john paschall

daily senior staffer @John_Paschall

After an emotionally draining weekend, Northwestern heads to Wisconsin to take on a dangerous Badgers team in front of a raucous crowd at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday.

Coach Pat Fitzgerald has been preparing his team the entire week by blasting crowd noise during practice, forcing the offense to use a silent snap count.

Junior offensive tackle Paul Jorgensen said Madison is always a tough place to play, but the Wildcats will make the necessary adjustments during the week to succeed.

“It’s going to be a loud and hostile environment,” Jorgensen said. “We just got to hone into the ball.

It’s our first time on silent this year. I think we’ll be ready.”

NU is 1-0 on the road so far this season, toppling Cal in its season opener. The drive to Wisconsin marks the Cats’ first trip outside of Evanston in more than a month.

The Cats have handled difficult road crowds well under Fitzgerald. Last year, NU won close road games at Syracuse and Michigan State. The Cats

also took leads into the fourth quarters on the road against Michigan and Penn State. In 2011, Fitzgerald’s squad defeated No. 9 Nebraska in Lincoln, with then-sophomore Kain Colter taking over in the second half.

“All those games we have won, for the most part, have gone down to the wire, and we’ve made plays when it mattered down the stretch,” Fitzgerald said of the team’s road success.

The last time NU played at Wisconsin was a game NU would like to forget. That meeting came two games after then-quarterback Dan Persa tore his Achilles tendon against Iowa. The Badgers took advantage of a depleted NU offense and ran all over the Cats, 70-23.

The Cats’ biggest challenge on defense will be containing the explosive duo of Badgers’ running backs Melvin Gordon and James White. The Badgers sport the top rushing attack in the Big Ten. After giving up more than 150 yards to Ohio State running back Carlos Hyde last week, junior linebacker Collin Ellis said the team has to tighten up in the interior of the defense.

“We just have to be stout on the inside,” Ellis said.

“Fit our gaps, make tackles, that’s what it comes down to.”

Senior running back Venric Mark’s return sparked

the Cats’ offense against Ohio State. The dynamic playmaker collected 60 yards rushing but also 43 receiving, including a 41-yard run that saw Buckeye defenders receiving a mouthful of stiff arm.

Last season, Mark was NU’s most explosive offensive player. He ran for 1,366 yards, with a gaudy 6.0 yards per carry average. In addition to his 12 touchdowns on the ground, Mark caught 20 passes for 104 yards and another score.

“It was great to have him back,” Fitzgerald said.

“He’ll be better this week than he was last week. First time really playing all season long … we were able to get him a lot of quality touches.”

Mark will surely have to run into stud linebacker Chris Borland, who Jorgensen thinks could be one of the better players the Cats will face all year.

“He’s an impressive player,” he said. “When we had the bye week last week watching Ohio State, he was making a bunch of plays out there. He’s real active.”

Borland racked up tackles last time he took the field. In the Badgers’ loss to Ohio State, the senior recorded 10 solo tackles and assisted on six others.

It was his second game with at least 10 total tackles, and Borland has a total of 22 stops in two Big Ten games.

Fitzgerald, a former linebacker, has a soft spot for

those who play the position and has taken notice of Borland’s tremendous impact.

“He’s the real deal,” he said. “I told the offensive line that from what I’ve seen on tape so far, he’s as relentless a football player as I’ve seen this year, maybe a couple years.”

The trip north also brings a second challenge in as many weeks for the underclassmen. Last week, freshmen like cornerback Matt Harris played in their first Big Ten game.

Now, the Cats’ less experienced players will have to deal with a hostile conference crowd for the first time.

Wisconsin averaged 80,006 in attendance last year — 30,000 more than Ryan Field held in a sellout against Ohio State.

The younger players who experienced their first Big Ten action on Saturday “played their fannies off” against the Buckeyes, according to Fitzgerald. Even though there is still room for improvement, he has a lot of hope for those rising stars.

“Just looking at the look in that group’s eye, they’ll be a lot better this Saturday after playing in that kind of environment and that kind of street fight,” Fitzgerald said. johnpaschall2014@u.northwestern.edu

4 sophomore women chosen for STEM scholarship

By Amy Whyte

daily senior staffer @amykwhyte

Four students studying STEM fields were selected to receive an annual scholarship from The Alumnae of Northwestern University, the volunteer organization announced Wednesday.

The scholarship, awarded each year to female sophomores who are studying science, technology, engineering or math, is intended to free students from work-study obligations so that they will have more time to pursue their chosen area of study and other university endeavors. This year’s scholarship recipients are McCormick sophomores Wendy Gao

and Alexandra Salomon, Weinberg sophomore Jennifer Li and Communication sophomore Christina Spaeth.

“Our members are proud to support these four outstanding students who are pursuing STEM careers in such diverse fields as industrial engineering and speech-language pathology,” Dee Hanlon, president of The Alumnae of Northwestern University, said in a news release. “By awarding these scholarships, we hope each of these young women will have more time to devote to her research and to actively participate in campus life.”

Salomon, a biomedical engineering major, told The Daily being chosen for the scholarship was “inspirational and motivating.”

“It’s nice to be recognized and to have someone

behind me and know that they want me to do well,” she said.

Salomon said that with the scholarship, she was able to completely eliminate her previous workstudy obligation. She said she hopes to spend the extra free time working on engineering projects but also plans to have some fun.

“I think the scholarship wants you to be able to have the whole entire experience and not necessarily be working all the time,” she said.

Gao, who is studying industrial engineering, said she also was able to use the scholarship to reduce her work-study commitment and instead spend more time doing unpaid research in a lab.

“It’s an opportunity to lower your stress a bit,” Gao said.

The other two recipients, Li and Spaeth, said that although they were choosing to keep their work-study jobs, the scholarship still helped with the payment of their tuition and fees. Li said she was able to work with the financial aid office to use the scholarship to reduce her federal loans.

Li said she thinks the scholarship is a good program because it encourages women who are pursuing typically male-dominated careers.

“Percentage-wise it doesn’t seem like much of a difference, but you step into a classroom and you’re one of three or one of four girls out of a thirty, forty person class,” she said. “It gives us the resources to do our absolute best.” amywhyte2015@u.northwestern.edu

THE CURRENT

The Steam Press: Breaking down ‘50 Shades of Grey’

By Mackenzie Broderick the current @badbroderick

Greetings, culture lovers! Welcome to the Steam Press, where we strive to serve up only the finest literature has to offer. And what better way to welcome the new school year and a new column than with a little S&M? Although much has been made of the more scandalous aspects of the “Fifty Shades of Grey” trilogy (written by E.L. James), the sex pales in comparison to some of the more weirdly wonderful and wonderfully weird details. With the movie slated to come out in less than a year, I’ve compiled a guide to all you need to know before seeing it.

Mrs. Robinson

Let’s start off with Christian and his mommy issues. To summarize, poor little Christian was raised in a broken home by “the crack whore” before the fabulously wealthy Greys rescue him. Sounds just like my own childhood.

James, not content with this bit of characterization, takes out her Freudian subtext hammer and beats us over the head with it: An older, but not legal, Christian is seduced by a family friend and introduced to the world of domination and submission.

Consequently, all of his future subs — including Ana — closely resemble his mother, which is as sexy as, well, an Oedipus complex. But Ana doesn’t seem to mind, because she only listens to …

The Inner Goddess 

More from The Daily’s weekly arts and entertainment supplement

The Inner Goddess is clearly supposed to represent Ana’s psyche but comes across more as

her psychotic break from reality. Whenever she is faced with a quandary — from choosing an outfit to submitting to Christian — Ana turns to her Goddess for guidance. The reader is then assailed with descriptions of what said Goddess is wearing, her facial expressions, her antics like mental handsprings and fist-pumps. If Ana put as much thought into her actual freakin’ problems, she wouldn’t have so many of them.

Honestly, I hope the wmovie takes its cue from “Lizzie McGuire” and animates these sequences because Ana Steele is actually a 15-year-old girl.

The Sun Never Sets on Seattle

All of these issues are too egregious to be taken seriously, and James acknowledges this by hinting that her story takes place in an alternate universe — one where Seattle has perpetual sunshine.

As a native of the Pacific Northwest, I feel the need to clear a few more misconceptions — one doesn’t simply drive from Seattle to Portland and back in a day, the Olympic Mountains are not visible from Seattle, even on clear days (which don’t happen), and for anyone north of Los Angeles, business casual consists of tucking in your flannel shirt. Not pantyhose.

LANDLORD workshop Jeffrey Murphy, a division manager for the city, speaks about landlord obligations and organizations. The landlord training workshop was held Thursday night at the Lorraine H. Morton Civic Center.

Property owners discuss tenantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; living conditions

By Lan Nguyen

the daily northwestern @LanNguyen_NU

Evanston officials and property owners gathered Thursday night to discuss nonprofit programs that landlords can use to improve living conditions for their tenants.

The speakers met for a landlord training workshop at the Lorraine H. Morton Civic Center, 2100 Ridge Ave. They represented programs that will allow interested landlords to assist families in need and promote energy efficiency within their units.

The officials reminded the owners of the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits a landlord from turning down potential tenants based on their income. Many people of lower income use housing vouchers issued by the government to pay their rent.

Brendan Saunders, who works for fair housing group Open Communities, expressed support for the law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You cannot deny someone housing because they have a housing voucher,â&#x20AC;? Saunders said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Housing vouchers are actually beneficial because it guarantees that your rent will be paid.â&#x20AC;?

Saunders warned landlords about investigators who make sure tenants are not being denied based on how they pay for their housing.

The speakers also introduced Connections for the Homeless, an Evanston-based nonprofit organization that provides homeless families with rental assistance while they work toward self-sufficiency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Close to 200 children in our district are considered homeless,â&#x20AC;? said Mary Ellen Poole, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s housing planner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has become a priority of the city to help stabilize their lives.â&#x20AC;?

The organization has committed $500,000 to help at least 30 households over three years.

Steve Greenhow, an Evanston property owner, said he found the information about poverty in Evanston to be useful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of people living close the poverty line in Evanston,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really interesting to learn about all the resources I can use to help them as a landlord.â&#x20AC;?

The meeting also addressed a program to help landlords make their households more energy efficient.

The system allows owners of at least five units to sign up for free direct installation of energy-efficient appliances, such as low-flow shower heads and flood lamps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only are you helping the environment, but you would be surprised with how much money you can save by using less energy,â&#x20AC;? said Linda Cosgrove of Franklin Energy Services. lannguyen2017@u.northwestern.edu

if we were upset, it was our duty to tell nuCuisine using the tools we have such as Facebook and Twitter,” Weinberg sophomore Nicole Martinez said.

James Kelley, the current supervisor of Fran’s, said King was recently transferred to Allison’s dining hall.

“Every manager is switched around,” Kelley said.

“It’s a corporation policy. Everybody should know what everybody else does because every location does something a little different.”

However, according to employees at Fran’s, King was not happy at Allison and quit soon after transferring.

Many students were unaware that King was no longer working at Fran’s.

“Bruce is definitely part of the atmosphere here,” Martinez said. “He’s passionate about being here. It’s sad. We are really going to miss him here.”

Sophian said there was a lot of staff movement this summer.

“With the menu being overhauled, we thought people could be better utilized in other places,” he said. “While we are making adjustments, we want to make sure we can provide the sufficient service to people that do go to Fran’s on a nightly basis.” tylerpager2017@u.northwestern.edu

Wildcat Express updates services, plans to expand By jeanne kuang

daily senior staffer @jeannekuang

Campus catering service Wildcat Express Delivery returned for its fifth year this fall with changes to its offerings and plans to expand.

The business, which operates through Northwestern Student Holdings, delivers food from Evanston restaurants to events hosted by student groups and faculty members. After a summer of brainstorming, chief marketing officer Kevin Harris said this year WED has updated its pricing system and introduced a subscription service, hoping to reach new markets.

In the past, WED delivery prices included service fees that varied depending on the order and restaurant. The business’ new prices have “conglomerated those into one fee,” said CEO Ritij Goel. Customers now pay a flat rate for service.

“We made it into one service fee,” said Harris, a Weinberg sophomore. “That makes it a lot easier, clients are getting a lot more value now. We’re giving them a lot more for that price.”

This year, WED is also offering a subscriptionbased service for student groups, residential halls and residential colleges, and fraternities and sororities.

“We put together different subscription plans for each type of organization,” Harris said, adding that the plans are based on student groups’ different budgets and frequency of ordering food. Chief operating

officer and McCormick junior Jon Feldman said the subscription plans include “built-in discounts” for clients.

WED has already begun delivering daily meals to Delta Chi fraternity, which Goel said will allow the business to significantly increase its quarterly revenue.

The business also has a yearlong project to work on: expanding into new markets. WED hopes to form partnerships with more local restaurants, potentially by offering deals and incentives. It also plans to increase its client base and, in the future, cater to individuals as well as its traditional student group or residential hall customers, Feldman said.

“In addition to getting new clients, we’re also looking to ... get different types of clients,” Goel said.

“We’re really targeting new markets. That’s essentially the point of NSH, to start and run a company and expand the company. So yes, it’s important to make money off your existing market ... but the fun part about NSH is the ability to create something from scratch.”

Harris said he is excited about the business’ initiatives.

“At the end of the day, we’re looking at how we can continue to spread food for the Northwestern community and take advantage of your expertise when it comes to ordering online and delivering,” Harris said. jeannekuang2016@u.northwestern.edu

NU revs up road campaign Northwestern ITA Midwest Regional Championships Ann Arbor, Mich.

All Day Friday

By david lee

the daily northwestern

After posting a dominating team performance at the Wildcat Invitational last weekend, Northwestern took its show on the road as the Cats traveled to Ann Arbor, Mich., for the ITA Midwest Regional Championships on Thursday.

The tournament marks the Cats’ first road trip this season.

Qualifying matches for the tournament began Thursday morning. Freshman Brooke Rischbieth played Elaine Cloern of Wright State University, and freshman Maddie Lipp faced off against Toledo University’s Katelyn Nguyen. Fellow freshman Jillian Rooney received an automatic bid into Thursday’s second round of qualifiers.

Rischbieth was the only competitor of the freshmen trio not to advance past the qualifiers. She defeated Cloern in her first contest with a sound 6-2, 2-0 victory but couldn’t muster the same performance in her second-round defeat to Eastern Michigan’s Nino Mebuke. Meanwhile, Lipp outdid her two opponents in two consecutive matches, earning a spot in the top-16 qualifying round Friday morning.

She will be joined by Rooney, who zipped through her singles match against Big Ten foe Sydney Rider of Wisconsin 6-0, 6-1.

With the first round of singles under their belts, the Cats will kick off doubles play Friday morning as well. Of NU’s four duos, only one pair will compete in the first round. The remaining will ride their first round bye into the second bracket.

The pairings are mixtures of the Cats’ youth and experience, with three of the tandems combining a freshman with an upperclassman. Aside from the experienced tag team comprised of sophomore Alicia Barnett and Veronica Corning, all partners will continue to learn how to develop a winning dynamic on the court in NU’s second tournament this fall. Barnett and Corning combined to claim victory in 13 doubles matches last season.

Corning, who took home both singles and doubles titles at last weekend’s tournament, will begin her rounds at the ITA Midwest Regionals on Saturday. She said her main focus right now is to continue refining her play.

“Even if I don’t do well, but I work on something, get better, that’s all that matters,” she said.

As one of the oldest players on the squad, Corning said she sees herself as the example for her teammates. She said she hones her game in an effort to inspire this year’s team, which features four freshmen.

“A lot of new players have come in this year, so recently what I’m working on right now is just to improve,” Corning said.

The Cats have made strong showings in the past at the ITA Midwest Regionals.

Kate Turvy won the 2012 tournament in a thrilling three-set match. She was just one of many NU players to dominate at the event, as the Cats have taken 10 of the last 14 singles titles at this competition.

Corning said the team is focusing on its strength and speed in preparation for the season. She said she believes that the team can continue its pattern of success.

NU has been a conference superpower for more than a decade.

“Everybody’s working very hard, and all the hard work will pay off,” she said. davidlee2017@u.northwestern.edu

Cats eager to earn first conference win as season slows By alex lederman

the daily northwestern

Northwestern will look for its first conference win Saturday when it squares off against Minnesota at Lakeside Field.

“We’ve lost every Big Ten game by one goal,” coach Michael Moynihan said. “It’s a bit of a psychological barrier right now, but we have to work ourselves through it.”

Moynihan said the team needs to be more consistent. He said he believes NU (2-9-2, 0-5-0 Big Ten) has trailed off in the final third of games, and it has been costly. The Wildcats have outplayed their opponents in many games but have not been able to finish or score the necessary goals to win, he said.

“We’ve been competitive every game, we just haven’t had the results,” Moynihan said.

Minnesota (9-3-1, 2-2-1) is coming off a huge win against then-No. 7 Penn State. The Golden Gophers netted two victories and a tie in their past three games, with the other win coming on the road against another familiar foe, a nationally ranked Michigan squad. NU, on the other hand, is coming off of five straight Big Ten losses.

Moynihan and his team know Minnesota must feel confident coming into this game after such huge victories. The Cats, however, are making a push to get that conference victory as the season winds down. Senior forward Kate Allen particularly feels the urge.

“There’s a desire to pull out the win as my senior season finishes,” Allen said.

Moynihan identified Allen as a

standout player in this group. He said she has consistently been one of team’s best scorers over the past four years, and the veteran is a well-known threat in the Big Ten at this point.

Allen leads NU with three goals, three assists and nine points.

Moynihan said he anticipates big things from freshman forward Addie Steiner. Steiner saw action in all 13 games for NU and looks to be a rock on this team for years to come.

“I want to work really hard to end the season on a good note, and hopefully we can learn from this to make the team that much better and more successful next year,” Steiner said.

Steiner has yet to score her first goal, but Moynihan said he is impressed with her play. She has been very close at the post several times and has consistently been very dangerous, the second-year coach said.

He said he is confident results will soon follow.

Both Allen and Steiner agreed with Moynihan that the team’s biggest issue is finishing. They said the Cats have not taken advantage of the many opportunities to score that NU has created so far this year.

Although the Cats have not had the success Moynihan hoped for, he said the team is continuing to

improve.

“I’ve been extremely impressed and happy and proud of them for the spirit they have shown,” Moynihan said. “We have 32 players on this team, and every single one of them is buying into the team concept. Victory is in the near future.” alexanderlederman2017@u.northwestern.edu

NU attempts to maintain momentum after NIU shutout By enrique perez

the daily northwestern @EPerez1792

No. 14 Northwestern will try to start a new winning streak as it takes on Southern Illinois Edwardsville.

The Wildcats (8-3, 1-1 Big Ten) clawed their way back into the win column by taking care of business Wednesday night, beating Northern Illinois 1-0 on redshirt senior midfielder Chris Ritter’s header in the 57th minute. Despite having dropped the Big Ten home opener against Michigan State, NU now has a bit of momentum heading into this weekend’s match.

“Last week was pretty tough, losing two overtime games,” senior midfielder Connor Holloway said.

“It wears on you physically and mentally. A good win over a good Northern team is always nice, but it never ends. It’s another tough battle Saturday night against SIUE.” The Cats earned their seventh shutout of the season Wednesday.

This can be credited to a consistent lineup, defensive team play and coherent linkage passing. Holloway, for example, has started in the midfield for NU in all 11 games this season.

The Cats’ offense has its work cut out for itself as SIUE (5-5) has had a knack for playing close games. In its last three games, one goal made the difference in each, including a 2-1 Cougars overtime

Southern Illinois Edwardsville vs. No. 14 Northwestern Evanston 7:30 p.m. Saturday

win against Central Arkansas.

“SIUE is a great team, but I think we match up pretty well against them,” junior defender Grant Wilson said. “It’s going to be another tough game at home, but hopefully we can get a win out of it.”

Much like the Cats, the Cougars have earned success in recent years.

They posted a 13-7 record last year under the guidance of sixth-year coach Kevin Kalish. They also advanced to the Missouri Valley Conference title game in 2012.

NU is cautious of its upcoming opponent but has made sure to look back at, and learn from, the first half of the season.

“We have to be solid defensively,” coach Tim Lenahan said.

“I think that was our main goal last night, to get back to limiting the other team and getting zeroes in the back. Until the last 10 or 15 minutes, we did a pretty good job of that.”

The Cats gave up 6 goals total in their two games prior to the match against NIU. That’s an unsettling statistic, considering they had given up only 1 goal in their sevengame win streak.

“In the two games we lost, we didn’t start very well,” Holloway said. “That was the difference last time. It’s a Saturday night game and hopefully we get a good crowd.

LUCKY NUMBER 13 Senior Connor Holloway passes the ball during Northwestern’s victory over Saint Mary’s in September. The midfielder has started in every match this season and has three assists.

If you can start a game with energy like that, it makes it much easier.”

NU’s home record stands at an even 3-3 with the victory against NIU. The Cougars have played most of their games this season on the road and break even away from home at 3-3. With both teams playing tight games and having

even records in terms of game locations, something has to give Saturday night.

“It’s just another big home game,” Wilson said. “Good teams have to win at home, so we need to make sure that we get the win.” enriqueperez2015@u.northwestern.edu
