OfficeMax store opens downtown

By AMANDA GILBERT

the daily northwestern @amandadance5

OfficeMax celebrated the grand opening of its new Business Solutions Center this week in downtown Evanston.

The office supplies store, 1612 Sherman Ave., is geared toward small business, offering Web hosting, printing and credit card processing in addition to OfficeMax’s usual products.

It is the national chain’s second Business Solutions Center in the Chicago area. The first one opened this summer in Chicago’s Streeterville neighborhood.

Kristin Muntean, vice president of strategic initiatives and innovation for OfficeMax, hailed the Business Solutions Center as a “new way to partner with today’s growing businesses.”

“With the launch of our new OfficeMax Business Solutions Center, we are pleased to introduce a relationshipbased retail service center focused on

partnering with Evanston businesses to help them grow,” she said in a news release.

Joanne Rhymer, business services manager, said a Business Solutions adviser will help Evanston customers understand the store’s offerings.

“There are so many businesses in this area,” Rhymer said. “This can be very beneficial for them because it is a one stop shop for them.”

Michael Lewis, executive vice president and president of Retail at OfficeMax, said the store hopes to serve a variety of different small businesses and entrepreneurs with different needs.

“We want local businesses in our community to know that they don’t have to go it alone,” he said in a news release.

“Every step of the process — from formalizing your business to setting up your website and marketing – will be available through the OfficeMax Business Solutions Center.” » See OFFICE MAX, page 11

TO THE MAX OfficeMax Business Solutions Center, 1612 Sherman Ave., held its grand opening Tuesday. The center is geared toward small businesses.

Classic Halloween

Medill-Bienen sophomore Thaddeus Tukes became involved with his two most visible roles at Northwestern in an unusual way — at the last minute.

As someone who joined Battle of the Bands-winning musical group Juc E Frut just two months before it earned a spot in the Dillo Day lineup, Tukes tends to dive right into his biggest commitments. The trend continued when

he applied for his latest role on campus, Associate Student Government’s associate vice president of diversity and inclusion, the night before the application was due.

“I’m out of my comfort zone in this position,” Tukes said. “But I’m not going to learn unless I force myself to be uncomfortable at first in order to adapt and learn and figure out how to help people in other spaces that aren’t my space. That’s why I wanted this position.”

Tukes is no stranger to leadership.

He currently serves as the opinion editor for Pulse magazine and as secretary

of the NU chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists, in addition to performing in several bands.

The dual degree student said he plays too many percussion instruments to name, as well as piano, guitar and bass, but said his favorite is the jazz vibraphone. For two years, he was ranked as the No. 1 jazz vibraphonist in Illinois while in high school.

Tukes has continued to be recognized for his vibraphone playing at NU. He said he was asked to join Juc E Frut after one of his friends in the band » See TUKES, page 11

PedalPub considers Evanston

Serving the University and Evanston since 1881

Locked in a licensing dispute with Chicago, an unconventional business is considering taking its pedal-powered bar to the former home of a temperance movement.

Minneapolis-based PedalPub, which offers bar tours using a 16-passenger bike, says it has reached a tipping point with the Chicago Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection, citing a threeyear back-and-forth over the appropriate license for its quirky operation.

“We don’t know what to do at this point,” said Matt Graham, Chicago market manager for PedalPub. “We’re completely at a loss as to what could possibly solve this problem.”

On Tuesday, Graham said he planned to visit Evanston this week and has already talked with the Chamber of Commerce, which he described as “very welcoming.”

Elaine Kemna-Irish, executive director of the chamber, confirmed Thursday that she has spoken with Graham and the city’s economic development team has met with PedalPub. So far, city officials have not found any major problems with PedalPub operating in Evanston, she said.

“I think it might work,” Kemna-Irish added. “The city is really looking into it.”

BIKER BAR PedalPub says it is considering moving to Evanston amid a licensing dispute in Chicago. The Minneapolis-based company hosts bikepowered bar tours.

Graham said PedalPub is eying Evanston because it is a Chicago suburb that still has a “city feel.” Plus, the business does not fit in on streets where the speed limit is over 35 mph, he added.

PedalPub’s public interest in Evanston comes weeks after the department denied its application for a charter/sightseeing vehicle license. Graham said he doubts PedalPub will win an appeal of the decision, a hearing for which is scheduled next week.

Department spokesman David Staudacher said Thursday that Pedal Pub

currently meets one of two requirements for a charter/sightseeing vehicle under Chicago law: Its vehicles hold 10 or more people, but they run afoul of Federal Motor Vehicle Standards, which require a braking system and seat belts, among other safety measures.

“The City of Chicago has been working with PedalPub to get a proper license,” Staudacher wrote in an email to The Daily.

Around Town 2 Dominick’s locations to close by end of year

The Dominick’s grocery stores in Evanston will close by the end of the year, the city said Wednesday night.

The two locations, 1910 Dempster St. and 2748 Green Bay Road, will shut their doors Dec. 28, about two and a half months after parent company Safeway announced it will exit the Chicago market by early next year. The Dominick’s owner said the move will affect 72 stores in the Chicago area.

The Safeway announcement almost immediately set off speculation about what would replace the Evanston stores. At the time, city manager Wally Bobkiewicz said there “should be lots of interest� in the sites. “If there is a buyer for either we should know around Thanksgiving,� the city tweeted in response to a question at Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl’s town hall meeting.

Earlier this month, Tisdahl said she wants to make sure another grocery store replaces at least the Dominick’s location on Dempster Street. “Some folk in the neighborhood really want a grocery store there because they rely on it, and it is definitely for some people the closest accessible grocery store,� she told Evanston

Police Blotter Windows on Chevrolet smashed

Several car windows were smashed early Wednesday in west Evanston, according to police.

The father of the car owner reported the damage to the 2002 Chevrolet parked in the 900 block of Grey Avenue, Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said.

The front windshield, front door windows and rear driver’s side window of the car were smashed, Parrott said.

Evanston police arrested a Chicago man

after they say he stole several items Wednesday from Dominick’s.

A security agent from the grocery store, 1910 Dempster St., stopped Victor Manuel Martinez-Lopez, 22, after he tried to leave with the items, Parrott said.

Martinez-Lopez took eight 80-ounce bottles of baby formula and nine packages of Gillette razors. Together, the items are valued at $400.

Martinez-Lopez, of the 2600 block of West Cermak Road, is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 22.

Latest from the Labs NU team increases animal brain cancer survival rates

A team of researchers from Northwestern has demonstrated delivery of a drug that turns off a critical gene in glioblastoma multiforme, the incurable brain cancer that killed Sen. Edward Kennedy.

The survival rate among mice increased by nearly 20 percent compared to the control group, and tumor size dropped by 300-400 percent. GBM kills approximately 13,000 Americans a year. The researchers’ findings were published Wednesday in Science Translation Medicine. “This is a beautiful marriage of a new technology with the genes of a terrible disease,� said Chemistry Prof. Chad Mirkin, a senior co-author of the study, in a news release. “Using highly adaptable spherical nucleic acids, we specifically targeted a gene associated with GBM and turned it off in vivo. This proof-of-concept further establishes a broad platform for treating a wide range of diseases, from lung and colon cancers to rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis.�

Mirkin, an expert in nanomedicine, was recently named one of 28 researchers deemed to be “of Nobel class� by Thomson Reuters. “The problems posed by glioblastoma and many other diseases are simply too big for one research group to handle,� Mirkin said. “This work highlights the power of scientists and engineers from different fields coming together to address a difficult medical issue.� — Joseph Diebold

Study examines brain reactivity to auditoryvisual stimulation

Two pieces of art created 200 years apart were the key to Northwestern researchers gaining a better understanding of how the human brain reacts to complex auditory-visual stimuli.

Researchers tracked parts of the brain’s auditory system while Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata� was synchronized with an iTunes visualizer.

Julia Mossbridge, the lead study author, said related research focuses on less complicated stimuli. “These kinds of things are closer to what the brain actually has to manage to process in every moment of the day,� said Mossbridge, a research associate in psychology, in a news release. “Further, it’s important to determine how and when sensory systems choose to combine stimuli across their boundaries.�

The study, “Seeing the song: Left auditory structures may track auditory-visual dynamic alignment,� was published Oct. 23 in PLOS ONE. “It appears that the brain is exploiting the left auditory cortex’s gift at processing auditory timing, and is using similar mechanisms to encode auditoryvisual synchrony, but only in certain situations; seemingly only when combining the sounds and images is appropriate,� Mossbridge said.

New research shows poverty may impact brain processing

A child’s mother’s education background may be linked to poor processing of auditory information in the adolescent brain, according to new Northwestern research.

More women than men now run 10Ks, study shows

Women now outnumber men in 10-kilometer races, according to a new Northwestern Medicine study.

The study, published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, was based on data from more than 400,000 runners who ran in 10K races between 2002 and 2011.

Researchers also found that more runners are completing the races in under an hour, although a greater percentage are completing them in more than an hour.

Dr. Dan Cushman, the study’s lead author, said despite the times creeping upward, greater participation is a boon for overall health. “It seems that as these large races have more people participating, we have slower runners, but I see that as a positive thing,� said Cushman, a Feinberg professor, in a news release.

Cushman added that more and more, runners of 10Ks are new to the sport. “It’s not just elite runners or former high Journal of Neuroscience. It follows a 1995 study which revealed that children from wealthy families are exposed to 30 million more words than children whose families are on welfare. “These adolescents had noisier neural activity than their classmates, even when no sound was presented,� said neurobiology and physiology Prof. Nina Kraus, the corresponding author of the study, in a news release. “Think about the neural noise like static in a radio — with the announcer’s voice coming in faintly.�

school athletes running today’s 10km races, there are more everyday people running this distance,� Cushman said. “One of the best things we can do to improve our health is exercise and taking on a 10km race is a great goal.� — Joseph Diebold

The study was conducted on Chicago Public School students, mostly ninth graders.“By studying socioeconomic status within a neuroscientific framework, we have the potential to expand our understanding of the biological signatures of poverty,� Kraus said. “And a better understanding of how experiences shape the brain could inform educational efforts aimed at closing the socioeconomic achievement gap.�

End of Conde Nast’s unpaid internships undue LEANNA SMITH

GUEST COLUMNIST

Growing up, Vanity Fair was always a fixture on my coffee table. I knew that September would bring the “Best Dressed” spread, and that the renowned “Hollywood” one would follow in March. This summer, I was fortunate enough to participate in what will now be known as Conde Nast’s final year of its internship program. I was not paid. In fact, it is more likely that I lost money, spending it on kale salads and sandwiches on artisan breads in Conde Nast’s famous cafeteria.

But what I earned at Conde Nast far exceeds the value of any unlimited MetroCard, living stipend or hourly wage they could have given me.

I recognize the unpaid scenario. It is not always possible to spend a summer covering living and transportation expenses without pay. My situation would certainly have been more complicated if I didn’t live just a few miles uptown from the Vanity Fair offices. But in an industry where so much value is placed on experience, it is unfortunate that

any internships, paid or unpaid, are being discontinued. This eliminates a number of journalism residencies for students interested in learning about news or magazine journalism — particularly Medill students. Yet the opportunity is still extremely rewarding, even for students looking to enter fields other than journalism.

Sure, I got my fair share of coffees and spent a good chunk of time underground, in the subway on various errands, among other intern rites of passage. By the same token, I sat in on a meeting with Reinaldo Herrera and Amy Fine Collins debating candidates to be featured in the September issue. I had an opportunity to stand in on an Annie Leibovitz shoot at her studio on Greenwich Street. I compared the 2012 “New Establishment” to an advance copy of the 2013 piece, scanning the short bios for repetition, and several of them were rewritten at my suggestion.

There is no other way to describe this than plain awesome. When would I ever have the chance to do any of those things, if not at my internship? The simple answer is never. I am not a journalism student. I am a medical school hopeful sophomore at Northwestern with a passion for creative writing. This summer was probably my only opportunity to do something like work at

Conde Nast. As Vanity Fair’s first pre-med intern, my colleagues were interested to hear me explain why I thought my penchants for biology and writing were complementary rather than conflicting. I study organic chemistry alongside poetry, and I love it. I believed my internship to be just as relevant and worthwhile for the career I intend to pursue, which is supported by the advent of increasingly popular programs like Columbia’s “Narrative Medicine” that emphasize the blend of medicine with humanities to create more wellrounded health professionals.

My experience was overwhelmingly positive.

I did not meet anyone who was not nice and extremely willing to answer all of my (numerous) questions. I noticed that even though I was giving of my time to Vanity Fair, the people I worked with were far more giving of their time to me. This goes for publishing interns in general — regardless of how mundane the work may seem, you are learning invaluable interview tips and listening to confidential recordings from the people whose positions you aspire to, and should feel lucky that they are giving the assignments to you. So you can chalk up face time with editors, writers, researchers and stylists, who are now your personal contacts, to whatever the hourly wage comes out to

be, based on your small stipend, or you can accept the experience at its face value: priceless.

I learned how to fact check, do original photo research, and navigate the annals of Conde Nast’s archive because people were generous enough to take the time to teach me and show me. Many of the Vanity Fair assistants were once interns and were hired as a result of promising work during their internships, and it is unfortunate that such a career-defining launching point will no longer exist after this year. Still more regrettable is the fact that these internships are not being replaced with paid positions, meaning that many valuable opportunities for on the job experience are simply being taken off the market. My Vanity Fair mentor herself is an NU graduate, who spent time interning at another Conde Nast brand during her college years. I loved my internship, unpaid as it was, and I am sad for everyone who will not have the same opportunity I was lucky enough to have.

Civil discourse should prevail over emotional protest CARYN LENHOFF

DAILY COLUMNIST

In this era of anonymous online comment wars and Rush Limbaugh-esque talk radio, civil discourse appears to have gone the way of powdered wigs. A rare holdout seems to be academia. Universities, conventional wisdom dictates, have a history and an intellectual presence that can carry on the noble tradition of vigorous, respectful debate. An incident at Brown University earlier this week, however, called that notion into question.

On Tuesday, students and members of the surrounding community heckled New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly off the stage at Brown, where he was to give a lecture. Kelly oversaw the escalation of the city’s highly controversial “stop-and-frisk” strategy, which the Federal District Court for Manhattan recently ruled unconstitutional for its targeting of black and Latino men. Under his direction, NYPD also collected intelligence on New York’s Muslim community in an attempt to prevent terrorism — a program that failed to produce any leads.

The people who participated in the protest

S a l on Rou l a

had entirely valid concerns about the racial stereotyping woven into the fabric of the programs. I am not here to debate that. The merit of a strategy consisting in large part of the disproportionate detainment of young men of color should, The incident at of course, come under vigorous scrutiny.

Brown is only In the same vein, conducting surveilone example lance on people solely of a trend on the basis of their away from religion is unacceptcivil discourse able. Questioning these policies is not and toward ... just reasonable — it is assuming that necessary.

The protesters’ whoever yells methods, however, the loudest wins left much to be the argument. desired. Perhaps the least effective way to get someone to agree with you is to shout insults at them, yet that is exactly the tactic that they chose to follow. The Brown Daily Herald reported, for example, that one audience member yelled at Kelly, “You are the terrorist, terrorizing our people.” Much as one may dislike the man or his policies, one thing he certainly is not is a terrorist. To call

“

him one is an insult not only to Kelly but also to his city, which suffered a massive attack by bona fide terrorists not so long ago.

One can safely assume the students involved in the protest are intelligent — Brown, with an acceptance rate of just 9.16 percent in 2013, is one of the most selective in the country — yet they acted with baffling foolishness. Surely students who managed to meet the university’s notoriously tough admission standards would have been capable of coming up with thoughtful, critical questions for Kelly, which they could have asked during the hour allotted for that purpose.

As University President Christina Paxson pointed out in a letter to the community, other students attending the event had likely chosen that more reasonable course of action and were prevented by their louder-mouthed peers from having their questions answered.

The protest is especially objectionable because it took place at an academic institution, and a well-respected one, at that.

Universities have historically been centers of discourse and debate; they are places where the merits and flaws of ideas may be freely discussed. When a belligerent minority prevents that discussion from taking place, they are flying in the face of that tradition. It seems likely that if conservative

protesters had shown equivalent disrespect to a speaker arguing against stop-and-frisk, those students involved in this incident would have been incensed. They should have shown the same respect to Kelly that they would demand from their conservative counterparts.

The incident at Brown is only one example of a trend away from civil discourse and toward its 21st-century equivalent: assuming that whoever yells the loudest wins the argument. Debate is important to the health of any society; it can be spirited or even heated and still maintain a respectful tone. Increasingly, though, it seems we are incapable of responding to opinions different from our own without devolving into blanket statements and ad hominem attacks. Any conversation that involves one party calling another a terrorist is bound to go nowhere.

If the protesters’ goal was to make a splash in the media, congratulations are due to them on a job well done. If, however, they wanted to make an impact on the beliefs of others in the audience or even on Kelly himself, they chose precisely the wrong strategy.

TIC musical confronts bullying, bystanders

By SCOTT BROWN

the daily northwestern

Audiences will have a chance to explore the damaging and complex world of bullying through the eyes of elementary school students as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hundred Dressesâ&#x20AC;? premieres Friday at NUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Theatre and Interpretation Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hundred Dressesâ&#x20AC;? is based on a 1944 Newbery Honor-winning book by Eleanor Estes. The musical, which focuses on Wanda Petronski, a young Polish girl at a new school in America, is the first in the 2013-14 Imagine U Family Series. Main character Maddie Reeves struggles with whether she should speak up when Petronski is continually teased by her classmates for wearing the same dress every day, having a funny accent and coming from a poor family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This show is not about the one who bullies or the one who is bullied. It is about the girl in the middle who sees it all, initially gets caught up in it and then struggles with what to do or say,â&#x20AC;? director Rives Collins said.

Collins, the Northwestern theatre departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specialist in Theatre and Drama for Youth, said there is a commitment on the part of the center to offer theatre for children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that young people, specifically children, bring a particular joy and passion and energy into our building that is both really good for the college students, and in return the students can plant seeds of hope, passion and excitement,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The show explores many facets of bullying, ranging from stereotypical lunch-money-stealing to the more psychological forms it can take. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My character is bullied, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very aware of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;classicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; type of bullying, but he realizes at the end that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being just as cruel to Wanda,â&#x20AC;? said Communication freshman Ryan Martin, who plays a student in the class.

The show also explores the reasons behind why bullies act the way they do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(My character) is very self-confident and thinks sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best, but she also has her own secrets and pain that she takes out on others,â&#x20AC;? Communication freshman Maggie Monahan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not onedimensional.â&#x20AC;?

CENTER STAGE â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hundred Dresses,â&#x20AC;? opening Friday at the Theatre and Interpretation Center, addresses issues of bullying and bystanders among children.

Theatre Prof. Rives Collins directed the show.

Cast members have worked to find the deeper complexities behind the young children they are playing, Collins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ten-year-olds are actually pretty sophisticated, and we are focusing on the emotional truth of the characters,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Despite the fact that the book was written in 1944, Monahan said the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s messages remain relevant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bullying has changed with the Internet, but it still takes on that psychological nature,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Additionally, in schoolyards across the country today, there are kids going through economic struggles at home and coming to America with the same hopes as Wanda.â&#x20AC;?

Communication freshman Daniel Leahy, who plays another student in the class, hopes children walk away with a message about what to do when they see bullying taking place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You should be brave enough to make the decision to help out,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Allowing something to happen thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s within your control is just as bad as doing the bullying yourself.â&#x20AC;?

The curtain will rise Friday on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hundred Dresses,â&#x20AC;? with its run lasting through Nov. 10 at the Hal and Martha Hyer Wallis Theater. scottbrown2017@u.northwestern.edu

New documentary tells Prentice tale

By PATRICK SVITEK

daily senior staffer @PatrickSvitek

When Nathan Eddy (Medill â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;06) started working on a short documentary about the old Prentice Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital more than a year ago, he knew he was not dealing with the most attractive subject. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a beautiful building in the traditional definition of beauty,â&#x20AC;? he said.

But he also knew the hospital had a cherished place in the architectural history of Chicago.

Designed by revered Chicago architect Bertrand Goldberg, the cloverleaf-shaped tower aimed to revolutionize maternity treatment when it opened in 1975.

Nearly four decades later, Northwestern is moving ahead with its controversial plan to demolish the building and replace it with a biomedical research facility.

Eddy recruited three other NU graduates to chronicle the contentious lead-up to the demolition, as well as Prenticeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own roots in Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s architecture community. Titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Absent Column,â&#x20AC;? the eight-minute documentary features several interviews with Chicago preservationists, architecture critics and University spokesman Al Cubbage, who says NU has â&#x20AC;&#x153;agreed to disagreeâ&#x20AC;? with its opponents on the issue. The movie premiered this summer at the Durban International Film Festival in South Africa and since then has screened at the Architectuur Film Festival Rotterdam in the Netherlands and the Architecture and Design Film Festival in New York.

On Wednesday afternoon, Eddy spoke with The Daily about his inspiration for the documentary, the filmmaking process and Prenticeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy.

On how Prentice fit into Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s storied

history of architecture: â&#x20AC;&#x153;As somebody who spends a lot of time reading about Chicago architecture and Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place in the history of the development of modern architecture, it was very important to me to get that across to people to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This may not be a stunner in the typical way that we use that term, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredibly important and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an incredibly poignant example of how Chicago was really at the forefront of architecture, but of engineering and of how architecture can influence society for the better, which was something that Bertrand Goldberg was very interested in.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

On the goal of the documentary: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to make a film where you could empathize with the building and you could humanize the building, which is something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to do, even for something like the Wrigley Building. To do that for Prentice, my God. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Here, go on a date with this building.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Oof. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s asking a lot from people.â&#x20AC;?

On working with Geoff Goldberg, Bertrand Golbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son: â&#x20AC;&#x153;He and I just poured over documents, and I went through the Northwestern University library archives, going through every article that had been written about it â&#x20AC;Ś It was daunting. You could have made a 90-minute documentary just on how this building was made, but the architectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son said something that really stuck with me on our first meeting. ... He was telling me that his father would be much more interested in a film that explored what the built environment does for society than a very technical piece on, well, this is how they poured the concrete, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the computer program they use to design it.â&#x20AC;?

On asking Northwestern to participate in the documentary: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told (Cubbage), â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Look, we want to make a film about this process,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to come in to this office and put you in a corner and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why are you tearing down this beautiful building?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And he took me at my word and gave me the benefit of the doubt.â&#x20AC;?

PRENTICE BATTLE Nathan Eddy, a Medill graduate, made a documentary about the preservation battle over the Prentice Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital. It has recently screened at three film festivals across the world.

Field Hockey

Seniors hope to lead Cats to final victory

By MIKE MARUT

the daily northwestern @mikeonthemic93

Friday marks Northwesternâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (14-4, 4-1 Big Ten) final regular season game this year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the last ever for the seniors.

Seniors Nikki Parsley and Tara Puffenberger have brought this team to a whole new level of field hockey. Parsley stepped up this season as the goals leader, and Puffenberger guided the team as the only returning All-American. Now both Parsley and Puffenberger have reached the end of their regular season careers as they prepare to take on Ohio State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest thing going into Friday Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a very is just taking it like every other game,â&#x20AC;? good team.

Parsley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty big game because there is still some tough a possibility we could matches and be co-regular season champs if Penn State just havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happens to lose to come out on Michigan and we beat top.

Ohio State, we would tie for the conference, Tracey Fuchs, field hockey coach so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty big game.â&#x20AC;?

Puffenberger shared that sentiment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we are going to treat it any differently,â&#x20AC;? Puffenberger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t our last home game. If we do well in the Big Ten (Tournament) we could maybe, possibly, get a home seed for the first round of NCAA. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the back of our heads â&#x20AC;Ś that thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance for us, which is a huge honor and something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really exciting. Other than that, everything is the same, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a game.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Although Ohio State has yet to tack on a win in conference, it is still a good team. Ohio State went into overtime with both Michigan and Indiana and only lost by one goal to Michigan State. In the Wildcatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; matches against those teams, NU beat Michigan 4-1, Indiana 2-0, and Michigan State 2-1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a tough match,â&#x20AC;? coach Tracey Fuchs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their record is deceiving. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a very good team. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played some tough matches and just havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come out on top.â&#x20AC;?

Last time out against the Buckeyes, the Cats fell 3-2 in Columbus. That loss came during the conference opener last season. Now, the tables have turned and NU closes out the regular season with Ohio State and is coming off a big win against Michigan State.

As with any athletic contest, practice is a time for fixing and improving. Despite the Catsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; .777 winning percentage this year, they still have work to do before they reach perfection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always something to fix,â&#x20AC;? Fuchs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to get better at bringing the ball out of the defense. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to get better inside our attacking circle. Our corners are getting better but the better they are the more games youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to win.â&#x20AC;?

The seniors have led the team out of the shadows and into the light of victory over the past four years. Since 2010, the team is 53-35.

The four years previous to that, the team had a combined record of 31-47. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This group has been amazing,â&#x20AC;? Fuchs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year and last year combined is my first class. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been through it all and changed our program. We are now consistently one of the top ten or fifteen teams in the country and top two or three in the Big Ten. It takes time to change that culture, and this group was instrumental in changing our program and putting us back on the map.â&#x20AC;? mike82293@gmail.com

From page 1 heard him play at a jazz concert.

Tukes now participates in several jazz groups and with his own â&#x20AC;&#x153;hip-hop, rap, soul, jazz, everything bandâ&#x20AC;? Syndicate 119, which has played at venues on campus and around Evanston, including the downtown Evanston club 27 Live, 1012 Church St. Out of all his musical experiences at NU, he said performing at Dillo Day was one of the most exciting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always really nice to perform for your peers, especially in a non-formal setting,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You really get a lot of energy from the audience, and then it mixes with your energy from just performing. ... Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably one of my fondest memories of freshman year, playing at Dillo Day.â&#x20AC;?

Tukes said he plays mostly jazz music, a genre he was drawn to because of its use of improvisation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jazz to me is the most expressive type of music,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It allows you to compose instantaneously as like your base idea, but then you get to take that and rewrite the story.â&#x20AC;?

The Chicago native said he chose NU because it has allowed him to study both jazz and journalism and because of the financial aid the school was able to provide him. He is currently the only student at the school who studies both majors.

In the â&#x20AC;&#x153;short term,â&#x20AC;? Tukes says he wants to write for The New York Timesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; arts and culture section

and play for Jazz at Lincoln Center in the venueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big band. Eventually, he hopes to own a â&#x20AC;&#x153;mass-media conglomerate.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same four or five people of the same demographic that own all of the media in America,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There needs to be another voice. Hopefully I can be one of the many people that presents that other voice.â&#x20AC;?

After two failed attempts to fill the position that remained vacant for almost five months, ASG unanimously confirmed Tukes to its top diversity position last week. His appointment was met with enthusiasm from senators and members of ASGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fantastic,â&#x20AC;? student life vice president Anna Kottenstette, a Communication senior and former Daily staffer, told The Daily last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way that he spoke and the way that he made everyone believe in what he was saying, we thought would be incredibly important for this position and really contagious on campus.â&#x20AC;?

Tukes said success in his new role will hinge on his ability to convince people to leave their comfort zones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go to things you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t normally go to, meet people you think you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t normally meet, because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how inclusivity happens,â&#x20AC;? Tukes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the richness of diversity, and my goal is to help people understand that.â&#x20AC;? sophiabollag2016@u.northwestern.edu

future success, citing their leadership, teamwork and spirit with setting the right example for this group moving forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Between the fight and the team spirit, I think the sky is the limit for us,â&#x20AC;? he said.

a gray area when it comes to licensing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody was thinking of 16-person bicycles when they made the laws,â&#x20AC;? Graham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s understandable ... but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been trying to get this license for three years.â&#x20AC;?

OfficeMax hopes to address the needs of college students as well, Rhymer said. The store offers black and white, as well as colored printing for students.

Rhymer said it will also assist with binding reports, creating posters and banners and designing shirts for student organizations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This list is endless,â&#x20AC;? Rhymer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We even make

and design stress balls.â&#x20AC;?

Medill senior Sally Zhang said she went to the store on its opening day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just what Evanston needs,â&#x20AC;?

Zhang said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a lot of places for us to get supplies, let alone inexpensive supplies. Students are always looking for places that will design websites and T-shirts for their organizations.â&#x20AC;? amandagilbert2015@u.northwestern.edu

NU tries to stretch homestand hot streak No. 23 Wisconsin vs. No. 25 Northwesterm

By BOBBY PILLOTE

the daily northwestern @bobbypillote

Northwestern will attempt to even its conference record Sunday at Lakeside Field.

The No. 25 Wildcats (9-4-3, 1-2-1 Big Ten) defeated Loyola Chicago (4-10-2) in commanding fashion Wednesday, scoring 4 goals in the first 20 minutes en route to a 4-1 victory. NU will try to hold on to that momentum as it faces No. 23 Wisconsin (11-3-2, 2-2-0), a squad that has won six of its last eight matches.

Last season, the Cats and Badgers fought each other to a scoreless draw.

A big day on offense against Loyola was key for an NU team that has struggled to score throughout October. The Cats had three ties, two of which were scoreless, and lost another three games in overtime. Their only win during the month was a 1-0 victory over Northern Illinois on Oct. 9. Sophomore forward Joey Calistri, the Big Tenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading scorer with 12 goals this season, had two tallies in the Oct. 2 game versus Bradley but did not find the back of the net again until Oct. 27 against Penn State, a fivegame drought.

NU has been most consistent this fall on defense. Thanks largely in part to standout junior goalkeeper Tyler Miller, seven of the Catsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; nine victories have been shutouts. Even with Miller absent due to illness, the NU back end hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t missed a beat. Sophomore backup Zak Allen has started the past three matches, making six saves and earning his first career shutout but only allowing three goals. The previous game against Loyola was Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first career start in front of a home crowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a great experience,â&#x20AC;? Allen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was pretty tough (making my first

start on the road), especially in a Big Ten game, but thankfully I had the confidence of my team and the confidence of my coach to back me up.â&#x20AC;?

Led by a dynamic scoring duo, the Wisconsin offense will be difficult to contain. Midfielder Nick Janus has been a stalwart for the Badgers, starting every game this season and scoring 7 goals and recording two assists. His midfield partner, Jacob Brindle, is a dangerous scoring threat off the bench. Despite starting only three games, Brindle leads the team this fall with 8 goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are a very mature team with lots of seniors,â&#x20AC;? coach Tim Lenahan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been close to breaking through and being a really good team the last three years, and this year theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done that. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a veteran group thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played a lot of games over the years, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly going to be a big challenge for us.â&#x20AC;?

Although the Badgersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attack may be a paragon of teamwork, the goalkeeping for the squad certainly isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Three of the four goalies on Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roster have spent time between the posts this season. In contrast, Miller had played every minute in goal for the Cats until falling ill. The leader of the Badgers pack is netminder Casey Beyers, a freshman who is allowing almost a goal and a half per game. Inconsistency in the Wisconsin defense is something NU will look to take advantage of.

The Cats are only 4-3-1 on their home turf and will seek an important conference victory in their penultimate game before they head into postseason play.

Cats look to finish season on high note the daily northwestern

After a disappointing season, Northwestern limps to the finish line this weekend as the Wildcats head to Madison to take on the Badgers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still hungry to win,â&#x20AC;? coach Michael Moynihan said of his players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get into the Big Ten tournament, but I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still hungry to maybe influence the Big Ten standings a little bit, get a win and send the seniors out on a good note.â&#x20AC;?

Wisconsin (9-6-2, 4-5-1 Big Ten) currently ranks eighth in the Big Ten, and a Wildcat upset could prevent the Badgers from making the Big Ten tournament, for which only the top eight teams in the conference qualify. NU knows it can still make a difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we saw we were really really close in so many games,â&#x20AC;? junior forward Katie Landgrebe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not out of anything, and just that extra little bit wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there, so I just go away saying I want to do every little thing I can to get that last little bit.â&#x20AC;?

Landgrebe is ready to take on more of a leadership role next year in her senior season. She is willing to do anything she

can to help the team win and looks forward to more success.

Freshman forward Addie Steiner also sees a brighter future for the Cats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do a lot better next season, especially with the girls coming in,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Although strong players are coming in, great players are also on their way out.

Senior forward Kate Allen has cemented her place in the NU record books. She ranks third all-time in career goals and points and tied for tenth in assists. Allen was also recognized as a 2013-14 Capital One Academic All-District honoree by the College Sports Information Directors of America on Thursday for her performance both on the field and in the classroom.

The returning players realize the shoes they have to fill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These seniors have meant a lot to me,â&#x20AC;? Landgrebe said.

Steiner agrees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope that they can look back at Northwestern and see improvement in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer program,â&#x20AC;? she added.

Regardless of the outcome of this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, Moynihan remains proud of what this team has accomplished. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year we had some issues with

MOVING FORWARD Freshman Addie Steiner will be one returner Northwestern relies on in its next season to bring back experience from this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sound disappointment.

Northwestern will try to rebound from Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss against Minnesota as the team hits the road to face Iowa (10-12, 1-9 Big Ten) and No. 10 Nebraska (16-4, 9-2) on back-to-back nights Friday and Saturday.

The Wildcats go into Iowa City as heavy favorites against the Hawkeyes.

Iowa has sputtered to a measly 1-9 record within the conference, with its sole win a 5-set victory over Illinois.

The Cornhuskers look to be, by far, the tougher challenge this weekend. It would be difficult to tell, however, by talking to the Cats. They are locked-in and focused on Iowa.

Redshirt sophomore Caroline Niedospial voiced the general sentiment of the team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I definitely think that we have to take it one match at a time. Right now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about Iowa,â&#x20AC;? Niedospial said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not even thinking about Nebraska right now. We need to get that win first, and then, after we get the win against Iowa, we can focus on Nebraska.â&#x20AC;?

NU also beat Iowa in straight sets when the Hawkeyes came to Evanston on September 28. Freshman outside hitter Kayla Morin had one of the best games of her career, nabbing 16 kills with a .316 hitting percentage in the rout.

Nebraska gave NU a much bigger challenge last time they played. The Cats lost to the Cornhuskers on September 27 in four sets (25-16, 20-25, 25-21, 25-20). Nebraska outside hitter Kelsey Robinson, an Illinois native, led all attackers with 25 kills while hitting an outrageous .438.

Robinson also led her team with 12 digs.

Coach Keylor Chan said he believes the NU team headed to Nebraska is not the same one that lost in September. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten a lot better,â&#x20AC;?

Chan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve really worked on some things and gained some cohesiveness and some chemistry and really gotten a grip on the kind of volleyball that we want to play.â&#x20AC;?

The key to an upset victory likely lies with the Catsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to start off strong, something theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been struggling to do as of late. NU lost the first two sets to Illinois before rallying for a victory and then was unable to overcome the 2-0 deficit against Minnesota on Sunday. Freshman setter Caleigh Ryan said she knows that the team can do better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a couple practices weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been diving right into 6-on-6 action, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really going to help us start off strong for the first couple games,â&#x20AC;? Ryan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also I think as a team we were all kind of slow, so we really focused on coming out strong and playing hard on the first point.â&#x20AC;? davidlee2017@u.northwestern.edu

The Daily Northwestern

BACK AGAINST THE WALL Redshirt freshman Dwight White lines up in coverage. White was replaced in the starting lineup by true freshman Matt Harris but figures to see time in the secondary the rest of the season.

GAMEDAY FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2013

By ALEX PUTTERMAN

daily senior staffer @AlexPutt02

Why does Northwestern’s most maligned player keep smiling?

Dwight White, bag of ice in hand and two bananas in pocket, must have better things to do than stand in the cold outdoor air and chat about his tumultuous 2013 season and diminished place on the depth chart. But the redshirt freshman converses cheerily, if not thrilled to be interviewed, then at least willing.

He wouldn’t be faulted for some grouchiness.

White’s career certainly hasn’t started as he would have dreamed. Entering the season, the cornerback operated under the assumption he’d be used primarily as a special teamer, playing defense only in occasional nickel and dime packages.

Then came the Wildcats’ opener against California and a dramatic change of fate. Starting cornerback Daniel Jones injured his knee late in the first half, and White entered to replace him. Two days later coach Pat Fitzgerald announced Jones was done for the season, and with one game of collegiate experience, White was a starter.

With sturdy sophomore Nick VanHoose as NU’s starter on the other side, opposing quarterbacks picked on White relentlessly, and the redshirt freshman ceded big play after big play. He was beat for a 52-yard touchdown against Cal, a 75-yard score against Western Michigan and a 59-yard bomb against Maine, to name the most noteworthy slipups.

“As a young guy I went through some things that young guys do go through sometimes,” White said this week. “I was tested, had some challenges, but for the most part I thought I was handling myself well.”

Eventually, competition heated up, and freshman Matthew Harris began to steal playing time from White. When White allowed yet another big-play touchdown to Minnesota, he was replaced by Harris, who started a week later and tops him on the depth chart entering Saturday’s game at Nebraska.

Throughout the difficulties, White was cursed by fans and called out by media members, who cheered when he was finally usurped.

There hasn’t been much to celebrate for the young corner, but losing the starting job hasn’t killed his spirits.

“Of course it’s unfortunate,” he said. “But I’m still going to work hard. I’m still going to do what I have

to do, make sure I’m supporting my teammates.”

Though his answer seems to echo what most players in his position would say, White’s demeanor suggests he means it — and so do testimonials from those around him, who report he hasn’t gotten down on himself.

“He’s been all right,” sophomore safety Traveon Henry said. “He understands what’s going on. He’s been working. He’s doing what he can. Unfortunately the situation didn’t go his way, but he’s still keeping his head on straight.”

Likewise, Fitzgerald said he’s not worried about White’s psyche. It’s all part of the gig, a healthy competition that comes with being part of a team.

“I don’t see any wavering in Dwight’s confidence,” the coach said. “If you’re not ready to compete, you shouldn’t be here. Those other two guys right now are our starters for a reason. They’ve won the competition.”

It would be understandable if White resented his adversary. Harris is a year younger, playing for a coach who typically employs true freshmen only in case of emergency. Now, Harris is not only starting over White but also being touted as a future star by the same observers who viewed White as a disappointment.

But White has been a gracious loser, saying all the right things about his attitude toward Harris.

Harris and White describe themselves as friends, with White calling his teammate “a real cool dude.” Meanwhile, Harris gives his elder a ringing endorsement.

“He’s been a great teammate to me throughout this process,” Harris said. “He’s been kind of an inspiration for me because he really helps me out on the field and off the field right when I stepped in the door.”

It’s fortunate that White is good-natured about his current situation and the competition with Harris because it won’t be settled anytime soon.

VanHoose has two more years of eligibility after this one and won’t lose his starting spot without injury. Jones, who beat out White for the starting spot in the fall, will be back next year to give his junior year another go.

White vs. Harris could be NU’s most engaging position battle for a long time. And White seems resigned to, even inviting of that reality.

“Hopefully we’re both pushing each other, making each other better,” White said. “We’re going to be in competition probably for the next four years.

That’s just the way it’s gonna be.” asputt@u.northwestern.edu

BRICK WALL Despite not forcing turnovers like they were earlier in the season, sophomore safety Traveon Henry (10) and Northwestern’s defense have allowed just three touchdowns in their last two games.

Defense still strong without big turnovers

By JOHN PASCHALL

daily senior staffer @John_Paschall

It’s been a spooky past two weeks for the Northwestern defense.

The unit has allowed only three offensive touchdowns in two games against Minnesota and Iowa — but only has two losses to show for its efforts.

Coach Pat Fitzgerald has been singing the praises of the defense for most of the season and especially during October, a month that has haunted the Wildcats in past years. But NU has only been able to force one turnover in the previous two games, an alarming number considering the group forced 13 interceptions and three fumbles in its first six games.

Safety Traveon Henry said defensive coordinator Mike Hankwitz has been preaching turnovers this week in practice leading up to their game with Nebraska.

“Our coach has been on us,” Henry said. “We set a goal every practice. We need this many turnovers, this many picks, this many strips. That’s what we really want to get accomplished.”

The offense hasn’t helped the defense much as of late by putting together long, sustained drives and points on the board. Since its 30-point outburst against Ohio State, NU has scored only 33 points in its past three games. In the four games they’ve won, the Cats scored 4 defensive touchdowns off of interceptions. When the defense couldn’t run it back into the end zone, NU’s offense used to be one of the better teams at turning turnovers into points.

Henry said the defense hopes to be the force that gets a once powerful NU offense rolling again.

“It definitely helps to put points on the board,” he said. “If we get the ball back, it gives them a little spark. If we can get them the ball in good field position, we can set them up to be successful.”

Tackling has become an issue for the Cats during conference play, especially with bigger running backs. It started with Ohio State’s

Carlos Hyde and reared its ugly head last week with Iowa’s Mark Weisman.

Even though defenders can’t tackle players to the ground in practice, Henry said as long as the defense is sound at the point of attack, the unit will be okay.

“We all want to make those big plays and big tackles,” Henry said. “We have a few periods in practice where we work on tackling. When it comes to Saturday, we will be ready to make those plays.”

The Cats will have their hands full with Nebraska running back Ameer Abdullah, who is seventh in the nation in rushing yards. Senior linebacker Damien Proby said he’s a major part of the Cornhuskers’ versatile offense.

“He’s a very talented player,” Proby said. “As a defense, we like to have an opportunity to shut down an opposing running back if possible.

We are really going to go out there and look to compete against him and that offensive line.”

Nebraska’s quarterback situation has been somewhat of a circus of late. Taylor Martinez began the year as the Cornhuskers’ starter but injuries have sidelined the senior as of late, giving way to Tommy Armstrong Jr. and then Ron Kellogg III. Henry said he believes the team will have to prepare for the unknown and study more film.

But regardless, Fitzgerald said the Cats will be ready for whoever Nebraska decides to throw out there.

“There’s a lot of similarities with what they are doing schematically,” he said. “Taylor’s success speaks for itself. I’ve been very impressed by what he’s done throughout his career. If he can’t go, those other young men have stepped up pretty well early. They’ve filled in admirably.”

One scenario that could help the Cats get off on the right foot would be an early turnover by the defense. Henry said that will be a focus once the team hits the field in Lincoln.

“Once you take the air out of the stadium, you get momentum going your way,” he said.

“That’s huge. It’s something we all really strive for.” johnpaschall2014@u.northwestern.edu
