MISSING James Foley went missing Nov. 22, 2012. His parents said in October that they don’t know where he is.

1 year later, Foley still missing

Six weeks after James Foley (Medill ‘08) was captured in Syria on Thanksgiving Day 2012, his family launched an international campaign to gather information about the freelance journalist’s location.

On the first anniversary of his capture, his parents have called for Friday to be a global day of prayer for their son’s return. The latest development about his location came on World Press Freedom Day in May, when Philip Balboni, the CEO and founder of international news outlet GlobalPost, announced investigators believed Foley was being held near Damascus by the Syrian government. “This is a somber day for us; but also a day to renew our commitment to find our beloved Jim and bring him home,�

Diane and John Foley wrote in a statement Tuesday. “Jim will return home; but as many of his dear friends know, he tends to run late‌.â€?

The day of prayer caps almost a year of efforts by the Foley family to keep the spotlight on the investigation of their son’s capture. In January, they first announced his capture and started the “Find James Foley� website to offer information to the press and ask for information in Arabic.

His family also created a Facebook campaign in February.

Near James Foley’s 40th birthday in October, John and Diane Foley appeared on the “Today� show, where they said they never anticipated their son would be missing for so long. Despite the May announcement that the government was likely holding James Foley, his parents said in October they have no idea who is holding him. “We’ve heard nothing,� John Foley said on the show.

The Foley family’s search for their son is all too familiar. In April 2011, Libyan soldiers detained James Foley, along with two other journalists, and held him for 44 days.  See JAMES FOLEY, page

Walgreen Co. on Thursday morning opened in Evanston what it believes is the first energy-sustainable retail store in the United States.

For a store to reach net-zero energy, it has to produce more energy than it consumes from the power grid. With its new site in Evanston at 635 Chicago Ave., Walgreen plans to sell excess energy its technology creates back to Commonwealth Edison Co., the city’s electric service provider. “This is an educational venture for us,� Walgreen spokeswoman Emily Hartwig said. “We’ve used all the different green technology individually at other Walgreens (stores), but this is the first time we’re using them all at once.�

The Evanston location utilizes roughly 850 rooftop solar panels and two wind turbines for energy generation. For energy reduction, the store has a geothermal heat pump capable of adapting to hotter climates, technology not common in the United States, according to company officials. The pump, along with LED lighting and other features, is expected to cut down the store’s consumption to 200,000 kilowatt-hours as compared to the average Chicago Walgreen store’s energy footprint of 425,000 kilowatt-hours. “We could have tried to blanket the whole site with solar (panels),� said Jamie Meyers, Walgreen manager of sustainability. “But that’s not really a functional building.

project to function like a normal Walgreens.�

Meyers said the idea of building the store arose roughly two years ago, and company officials first sat down on Sept. 24, 2012, to plan the project.

Walgreen mechanical engineer Jason Robbins said the heat pump, which was developed in Sweden and manufactured in France by the green refrigeration system company Green & Cool, is the most exciting part of the new store. Robbins suggested the new location could be a model for other companies across the country.

“We’re hoping to share what we learn with the Department of Energy and the building industry as a whole,�

Robbins said. “Most other CO2 systems in the U.S. actually have a 5 percent energy penalty, meaning they consume 5 percent more than a traditional (heating ventilation and air conditioning) system, but we’re consuming 60 percent less.�

A representative from the Environmental Protection Agency attended the opening ceremony to present Walgreen with a certificate of recognition for its green refrigeration system. Evanston

Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl also spoke at the event. “This store is a model,� Tisdahl said. “Not only for future buildings in the city of Evanston, but it’s a model for the nation. And I believe it’s a model for the world. And it’s right here in Evanston. I am so proud.�

Walgreen management expressed its hopes of achieving Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. One of

At the time, it was unclear whether Associated Student Government — which initially funded the rental chargers — would buy new ones for the library, Tippit said. Because students have come to expect being able to borrow chargers from University Library, the library picked up the task

In addition to having six chargers available in circulation, University Library plans to keep a stock of four backup chargers to replace the circulating ones if they become lost or broken. Demand for charger rentals has picked up, Tippit said.

The laptop charger loan program evolved as a joint project between ASG and University Library after ASG allocated funds to kickstart it in January 2012. ASG is considering handing control of the program to the library, said ASG academic vice president Sofia Sami, who has worked with Tippet this fall.

ASG had directed more than $1,000 from the ASG funding pool for the program. Sami said the program is currently in good hands under Tippit, and changes will likely come as Apple updates its computers and batteries. “It is going to be a constant reinvestment,� Sami said.

Evanston firefighters Michael Adam and David Ellis retired earlier this week after more than 30 years of service each.

“They were both here for quite a while,” Division Chief Dwight Hohl said. “It shows just how dedicated they were and that they enjoyed what they were doing.”

The retirements went into effect Tuesday, according to the Evanston fire department. Adam, a captain, became a firefighter in January 1975 and has served for 38 years. Ellis started in July 1979 and leaves after 34 years as a firefighter and paramedic.

Sentencing delayed again for man convicted of fatal beating

The Hazel Crest, Ill., man convicted of killing an Evanston resident in 2011 will have to wait at least another month to be sentenced.

Brandon Hinton, 28, appeared in court Thursday morning for the first time since abruptly firing his attorney. A Cook County Circuit Court spokeswoman said Hinton is due back in court Dec. 20.

Both men completed their careers at Evanston Station 2, 702 Madison St. Tom Howard, a firefighter at the same station, said he admired Adam and Ellis.

“They were both very experienced,” he said. “The younger guys looked up to them.”

Firefighters recalled the almost 20-year period when the retirees served on the same shift, with Adam as captain and Ellis as driver. Firefighter Kevin Roche, who also worked on their shift, said the two were some of the first on scene of a wellknown fire several years ago at a high-rise building at 1603 Orrington Ave. Roche said they helped to jumpstart new protocols taken to tackle fires and prevent damage. They were also well-known supporters of the firefighters’ union. Fellow firefighters knew Adam, 64, by the nickname “Animal,” which he went by since high school. Roche said Adam was the best cook at the In September, a Cook County jury found Hinton guilty of fatally beating John Costulas, 61. The developmentally disabled man was walking to work in the early morning hours of Sept. 2, 2011, when Hinton attacked and robbed him, leaving him bleeding and unconscious.

Hinton dismissed his lawyer on his sentencing date last month.

He was assigned a public defender, who also appeared in court Thursday morning, the court spokeswoman said — Patrick Svitek

Roche called Ellis a “master mechanic,” who was always fixing parts on the fire trucks.

“He always has motor oil underneath his fingernails, for 40 years,” Roche said, laughing.

Roche also said Ellis was a “rock n’ roll Shazam,” a reference to the iPhone app that identifies songs.

A lifelong resident of Evanston, Ellis was credited with creating the Evanston Firefighters Foreign Fire Tax Board, which uses money from a tax on out-ofstate insurance companies to benefit firefighters.

Adam’s and Ellis’ coworkers were treated to stories of when they were the two of the first paramedics in Evanston, when the trucks didn’t even have air bags.

“They made my future job easier by the things they pioneered,” Roche said. paigeleskin2017@u.northwestern.edu

On Campus Across Campuses San Jose State suspends students accused of tormenting black roommate

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Three white San Jose State students charged with a hate crime have been suspended pending disciplinary action over allegations that they racially bullied their black roommate.

The suspension was confirmed Thursday

by William Nance, SJSU’s vice president for student affairs.

The announcement came as outrage and disbelief grew on the campus, and students and others protested the treatment of a black student by his white roommates, three of whom have been charged with a hate crime that could put them behind bars for a year.

They are accused of putting a bicycle lock on the student’s neck, taunting him with a racial epithet and slurs, and barricading him inside his bedroom in the suite they shared.

The students have not been arrested, but the school is trying to arrange for them to turn themselves in, said campus Police Chief Peter Decena.

In just the single day since the story broke, anger on the SJSU campus boiled over among students, professors, instructors and alums.

The school has had numerous phone calls and emails demanding the administration strongly respond to the allegations of racial bullying.

At noon on Thursday a large gathering of students marched across campus chanting, “No justice! No peace!� The line grew so long that those at the rear were chanting out of sync with those at the front.

The marchers finally gathered around the base of the famed statue of Tommy Smith and John Carlos, SJSU alums who famously raised “black power� clenched fists on the medal stand at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics. The ethnically diverse crowd passionately called for the university to swiftly strike down open racism. — Katy Murphy, Tracey Kaplan and David E. Early (San Jose Mercury News)

The policy is too big a thing to be for or against.

Panel addresses role of faith, religion By amy whyte

daily senior staffer @amykwhyte

A panel of Muslim religious leaders, scholars and writers discussed the meaning of faith and religion in the 21st century on Thursday at the McCormick Tribune Center.

The event, attended by about 200 students and community members, was organized by the Muslim-cultural Students Association. Educator and writer Hind Makki moderated as Imam Suhaib Webb, journalist Haroon Moghul and playwright Wajahat Ali attempted to answer the question of whether religion still matters in the post-modern world.

Moghul opened the discussion by coming straight out and answering that it does not.

Despite being religious himself, he said that given religion’s trajectory in America and the western world, it is becoming increasingly easier to envision a world in which God plays no defining role. “For people who define themselves by faith ... the idea of orienting yourself around God will become more and more ridiculous,� he said.

Moghul argued that people are no longer connecting with religion in its traditional, institutionalized form, and the idea of religion as a moral discourse has collapsed. However, he offered hope to the audience by saying that the rise of atheism forces those who are religious to think more deeply about their beliefs. “It’s kind of liberating,� he said. “You are forced to ask yourself why you do what you do. ... Define what religion really means to you.�

Ali, a host on Al Jazeera America, echoed Moghul’s concerns. “If religion in the post-modern world was an iPhone app, it would be Apple maps — it’s glitchy ... and it leads you in the wrong direction,� he said.

Ali said the problem is not a lack of faith among young people. Citing a recent Gallup

poll, he argued that millennials believe in a god but prefer being atheist or agnostic over taking part in any specific religion. Ali further asserted that the religions themselves are at fault for focusing too much on rules and exclusivity and not enough on community and openness. “Instead of being open houses of worship that nurture the spirit of faith ... religion is now a selfisolating cocoon for the elite,� he said.

Webb, a Muslim religious leader, said the solution to the problem of religion’s declining relevancy in the 21st century is to draw a distinction between faith and religion. “It’s about a community transformation,� he said. “We need to reconstruct our communities to be based on faith instead of religion.�

As religion exists now, there is too much emphasis on fear mongering and preserving the status quo, he said. “Everything becomes a sense of fear, and that leads to peddling a theology that’s extremely cheap,� Webb said.

The panel ended with a brief question-and-answer session during which Makki asked the three speakers questions submitted by the audience.

It’s never too late or detrimental to take a gap year WILLIAM MCLAUGHLIN DAILY COLUMNIST

The Daily’s profile piece on Anika Jhalani took me back four years ago. Jhalani’s globe trek during a gap year before coming to Northwestern was similar to my own journey after I graduated high school. I lived in Beijing, biking my rusty single-speed hunk of metal on its smoggy roads to classes. My days were my own: I found a local start-up where I interned. I took up handball and played in a tournament. I helped turn a warehouse into a children’s theater from scratch.

I wandered Beijing’s ring roads aimlessly, convinced that I could make a massive city as familiar as my hometown. That year taught me how to live independently from the structure of school

or family.

Time off should be a more common rite.

Taken broadly, we are born, grow up in narrow confines, study, then work. These experiences, taken together, form a sort of tunnel for young people, a color-within-the-lines exercise. This path creates people who have similar goals because of shared experiences. We make decisions on the margins of our lives as adolescents with the illusion of increasing control. But truthfully, as we grow older we become less free — herded down a path to a job, a mortgage and a family.

The world needs more people who strike out on their own. A gap year can be the first truly independent experience in someone’s life. The 15 months between high school graduation and Wildcat Welcome give ample time to learn a new skill, language or hobby. But Jhalani realizes an important point: not having a particular goal can be as beneficial as having one. It says a lot to me

Lies and partial solutions tarnish health care law YONI MULLER

DAILY COLUMNIST

On Oct. 1, Obamacare finally went live — or so we’ve been told, regardless of how “misleading” its immediate flatline may have been. Besides, we were a bit preoccupied worrying about whether House Republicans would succeed in their goal of creating financial Armageddon, the scale of which would surely make Michael Bay proud.

Now, nearly two months later, we’ve seen its impact, and thus far it isn’t a good one. Between mass drops in coverage, raises in premium costs and a website that still doesn’t work, it’s becoming increasingly imperative to hold President Obama accountable. Not only have he and his administration misled the American public, but they also seem to be doing very little to repair the damage their misinformation has produced.

First off, the website is still disastrous. I can understand there being chaos for the first week or two, especially amid a government shutdown. But why is it that, with hardly one month left before insurance changes actually take place, Deputy CIO Henry Chao of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services says 40 percent of the necessary IT systems still need to be built? Not debugged. Not refined. Built.

More importantly, why are people OK with the fact that the Obama administration misled us at best, but more likely just lied to us?

For years now, every time some Republican got riled up and got ready to try and repeal Obamacare, the bill’s namesake was quick to publicly tout the benefits. “If you like your current plan, you can keep it,” and “we will lower healthcare premiums by $2,500” were proclaimed not only by the president himself, but also by plenty of other influential politicians, including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). I know when I had to choose to put my faith in the architect of the bill or a man who probably urinated himself on the Senate Floor to shut down the government, I chose the former.

Since then, more than half of Americans with individual health care plans have received notice of cancellation for their policies, whether due to the fact that their policy did not meet minimum standards or because their insurance company found it no longer viable to offer individual insurance in certain markets.

That’s seven million disgruntled Americans who realize that the discrepancy between Obama’s promises and their experiences are not an anomaly, not a slight deviation for which slight misjudgment can be blamed. Differences of

this magnitude can only happen when they’re created artificially: When the administration knew one thing, and said something drastically different.

This is not to say that the administration maliciously lied to the public with no concern for things like respect and honesty, but even “mainstream liberal media” is beginning to report that a great deal of the bill’s negative consequences were known in advance.

Instead of treating the American public with dignity, the administration approached us as children, incapable of handling anything so complex as mixed outcomes. And now, after millions put their faith in the bill and had the rug swept out from under their feet, Obama is only offering patchwork solutions.

Allowing people to keep their subpar plans for a year will only delay their misfortune instead of alleviating it. Those who were dropped by their insurers voluntarily don’t even have that much reprieve.

Perhaps I’m getting ahead of myself. It’s possible that this scale of dropped coverage and increased rates really wasn’t anticipated, though it’s far from probable.

That in itself is a problem. But when millions of Americans become blindsided by some new burden caused by poorly explained legislation — particularly if it was poorly explained and was used by many as a factor in recent elections – it’s the government’s job to change the bill so that it mirrors its intent.

I’m not asking for a repeal of the bill. But to have created seven million newly uninsured Americans, whose only alternate plans involve getting insurance on an exchange that still doesn’t work, all while doing nothing to address the millions who will face rising premiums? Well that could just make someone so angry they might end up with a heart attack.

At least with Obamacare the treatments will be free.

about someone who would not know what to do with unlimited time off.

I have several friends who delayed college in some way. Some, like me, took to traveling or language learning. One friend went to a community college for a year and quickly realized the value of a bachelor’s degree. My brother Thomas interned for a member of Parliament while living in London. Each one came back with new stories, recharged batteries and broader views. A sabbatical enriches life.

A sabbatical for students makes sense. NU is not going anywhere, though it might cost more.

The world will not leave you behind if you delay your next step for a year. No one cares if you graduate one year older than your peers. In my case, it actually put me back on the correct path.

This editorial column might not make sense since those reading it are students already in college. Some might think the window has passed.

And I’m not advocating any regrets here. But

consider the following: last week, I talked with a friend who is a skilled jiu-jitsu fighter. When not working, he spars four hours a day. He is also a senior applying for jobs. But he does not want to work; he wants to get his black belt. I told him that he should consider deferring his offer or applying for a postgraduate research grant. Then use his time to complete a goal he might not have enough time to do in the working world.

We work hard to retire early enough or wealthy enough to pursue our dreams. But old age is no time to start things. It should be spent remembering all of the adventures from earlier.

And when my memory of Beijing becomes foggy, I can turn to my journal. Its pages will remind me of one of the best decisions I made in my life.

Guest Column

To address mental health, let’s look to ourselves first NATALIE HOUCHINS

GUEST COLUMNIST

After four suicides in the past two years, I absolutely, 100 percent agree that our school’s mental health facilities leave much to be desired. Although I applaud students who have made efforts to change this — and I will continue to support them — we should not have to do this job ourselves. We shouldn’t have to demand that mental health be high on the University’s list of priorities. Although we shouldn’t stop pushing the administration, I would like to turn our attention to the student culture of Northwestern, which is something we can tangibly change on a daily basis, for free.

First of all, I just want to acknowledge openly that, although I honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else, NU can be an incredibly toxic environment.

During winter and spring quarters last year, I fell into the worst depression of my life. I had never wanted to die before this. I hurt myself, I planned my suicide, and I was so embarrassed about it I didn’t tell people until much later.

This doesn’t mean I’m not functional. It just means sometimes I experience roaring despair and crippling anxiety. And I’m not alone. I know I’m not alone because four students in the past year have killed themselves. And that’s pretty awful.

My anxiety and depression are heightened because I go to a school where competition dominates so much of our social interaction.

We treat ourselves like robots, churning out papers, exams, assignments, resumes and – if you’re a theater major like me – audition for shows and survive tech weeks. We attend board meetings, create initiatives, go to parties and binge drink for fear of missing out. I know this isn’t unique to NU, but it’s what I’ve observed since I came here in the fall of 2010. And it makes me incredibly unhappy to watch my peers break their backs and run on five hours

or less of sleep a night, just to do everything “right.” And we aren’t just doing this to ourselves. We’re doing this to each other, too. It’s as if we are all imbued with some original sin that creates an overwhelming sense of guilt when we’re not “doing something.”

What is success? What is “doing well”? The less we classify what these categories mean, the less pressure we put on one other.

Let’s praise our friends for making decisions that they feel good about. Let’s praise our friends for taking care of themselves. Let’s praise our friends for doing things that make them genuinely happy. Let’s be gentle with each other and ourselves. Let’s push to be better in a productive way. Let’s value each other not just for how much we do, but what we are actually doing, and whom it affects.

The real world will be critical and harsh enough. While we’re here, let’s remember that life can be long and will unfurl itself slowly.

We don’t have to do everything now. We don’t have to grow up yet, and we don’t have to have everything figured out.

Let’s let ourselves be huge messes when we need it. Let’s pick each other up when we’re down. Let’s allow each other to be at once totally homesick and also incredibly happy to be out on our own. Let’s only do the things we want to do while we’re here. Let’s watch Netflix shamelessly. Let’s pursue knowledge because we want to learn, not because we want a degree.

Let’s experiment. Let’s get more sleep. Let’s accept that we’re all human and that sometimes when we’re smiling we don’t mean it. Let’s live in contradictions. Let’s listen to each other. Let’s acknowledge that the winter really sucks here and affects our moods. Let’s spend an hour in Norris not doing work. Let’s eat our vegetables and a whole jar of Nutella, too. Let’s ecstatically defy the pressures that await us when we graduate.

Study: Minority parents more concerned about online safety issues

Although all parents worry about the safety of their children online, minority parents do so more than white parents, according to a new collaborative study between researchers at Northwestern and Microsoft Research.

The study, published in the journal Policy & Internet last month, found parents are most concerned about their children meeting harmful strangers online, followed by being exposed to pornographic content.

Parents of Asian and Hispanic descent were more concerned about all online safety issues. Black parents were more concerned about their children meeting harmful strangers or being exposed to

Report: City 2nd most popular in Midwest for bike commuters

Evanston is the second most popular city in the Midwest for commuting by bike, according to a new report by the League of American Bicyclists.

The Washington, D.C.-based group found 5.3 percent of Evanston residents were bike commuters in 2012. In the Midwest, Evanston trails only Madison, Wis., where 8,300 residents — 6.2 percent of its population — commute by bike.

pornography but not other potential safety issues, including being victims of cyberbullying. “Policies that aim to protect children online talk about parents’ concerns, assuming parents are this one homogenous group,� said communication studies Prof. Eszter Hargittai, a co-author of the study, in a news release. “When you take a close look at demographic backgrounds of parents, concerns are not uniform across population groups.�

The researchers surveyed more than 1,000 parents of children ages 10 through 14 in 2011.

Microsoft researcher danah boyd, the study’s other co-author, said the study could have significant implications, noting that policies in development seem to be more friendly to white parents. “Our study highlights how parental concern differs by demographic factors, notably race and ethnicity,� boyd said in the news release. — Joseph Diebold The report, titled “Where We Ride: An Analysis of Bicycling in American Cities,� was released Monday.

Nationally, Evanston ranked 15th for the percentage of its population that represents bike commuters. Davis, Calif., topped the list with nearly 1 in 5 residents riding their bikes to and from work in 2012.

Evanston’s bicycle culture will likely receive a major boost if Divvy expands outside Chicago.

The bicycle-sharing service is looking to open eight stations in Evanston next year. — Patrick Svitek

Fortunate to have witnessed Kain Colter ROHAN NADKARNI DAILY SPORTS @Rohan_NU

I couldn’t wait for Kain Colter to get off the field.

That was my first memory of him.

I arrived at Northwestern my freshman year completely swept up in the Dan Persa hype. For all I knew, our normal starting quarterback was a legitimate Heisman contender.

And the first football game I ever watched, Kain struggled mightily against Army, kicking off a fivegame losing streak.

It wasn’t until the Nebraska game in 2011 I kind of started warming up to the guy. In fact, in one of the first few columns I ever wrote for The Daily, I suggested Kain should not play at all once Persa returned to the field.

It’s funny how things change.

Over the last three years, Kain has come to embody what it means to be an athlete at this school.

Aside from his play on the field, where he’s dominated as a rusher, receiver and passer, Kain is the prime example of what our athletes can accomplish here.

He’s rumored to be interested in becoming a doctor if his pro career does not pan out. And this season, Kain became one of the faces of the All Players United movement, a group of college athletes trying to give more rights to their fellow players.

With Kain down to his last few games on the field, he won’t even see the benefits he’s been campaigning for. His dedication to the cause, however, means Kain will keep pushing for college athletes even when he’s no longer one himself.

Of course, my favorite memory of Kain comes from on the field, quite literally.

Kain started the Gator Bowl, not only the Wildcats’ first bowl win since 1949, but also the last great memory of a team suffering through a hellish 2013 season.

As the game ended, I ran around the field, trying to soak everything in.

Soon, I found Kain, and rather awkwardly I began following him around. I took pictures of him as he gave high fives to students in the stands. And then, as he sang the fight song, I walked up literally a few feet in front of Kain’s face and snapped even more photos.

At the end of the day, my parents and I began driving home from Jacksonville, Fla. My parents had just attended their first NU football game.

I got them tickets in the Bud Light Party Zone, so in addition to great seats, they got to enjoy a beer during the game.

My parents became pretty solid fans that day.

My dad waved a foam finger every time the Cats made a big play.

Literally.

He wasn’t wearing the foam finger. He held it up in the air and waved it after every interception and touchdown. He also rocked a student section T-shirt.

My mom sported my Medill hoodie, uploading pictures to Facebook of the big day. She’d been following NU throughout the season, learning more and more every week by asking me about my articles in The Daily.

As we drove home, my parents couldn’t stop talking about how great Kain was, how “fast that No. 2 guy ran” and how cool it was that “he could run like that and throw like that.”

I’ve been lucky enough to speak to Kain a couple times one-on-one, not always an easy feat for an athlete as popular as him.

At Big Ten Media Days in 2012, he told me he preferred Plex pasta to Plex burritos.

After a spring practice last year, I asked him if anyone ever used his real name, Theodis. (Apparently his

mom does, but only when she’s really angry.)

Unfortunately, the athletic department declined my request to speak to Kain for this story. I wanted to ask him about how he ended up choosing NU, the trials of playing as a freshman, the euphoria of winning a bowl game and the frustration of going through this season.

I also wanted to thank him. Thank him, and all the seniors, for turning my parents into fans. For giving me the confidence to brag to everyone not about my school’s U.S. News & World Report’s college ranking, but about our rightful place in the AP Top 25 for football.

I’m hoping my last memory of Kain the football player won’t come in this season’s last game at Illinois. Kain was invited to the senior bowl as a wide receiver, where he’ll get a chance to showcase his skills to professional scouts.

My hope is that he’ll make it in the NFL, maybe starring as a receiver for a number of years and making the occasional cameo at quarterback, ensuring that everyone will remember how special of an athlete we were lucky to have in Evanston.

After three years of watching Kain play, I can’t wait for him to get back on the field. rohannadkarni2015@u.northwestern.edu

Rivals happy Scott leaving the station

By ALEX PUTTERMAN

daily senior staffer @AlexPutt02

Roughly two years ago, the last time The Daily profiled Tyler Scott, defensive line coach Marty Long talked about the direction Scott was headed.

“He has an inner drive that pushes him to be a great player,” Long said at the time. “He’s not that yet, but he’s on the train. The train is moving.”

Then, Scott was a sophomore just breaking into Northwestern’s starting lineup, with one sack to his name. Now, he’s one of the Big Ten’s best defensive ends. He’s owner of 16 career sacks, ranking sixth in NU history, just behind fifth-place Dwayne Missouri.

“The train has left the station,” Long said this week. “The inner drive, the intangibles, the smart part of the game — everything like that he has.

He’s that on the field and off of the field.”

Scott was lightly recruited out of high school in Warren, Ohio, where he played outside linebacker.

Gambling that he could transition smoothly to defensive end, NU was the only BCS school to offer him a scholarship.

But Scott injured his shoulder before his freshman season, missing the entire year of practice and games. Scott did what he could in the film room, but Coach Pat Fitzgerald says it was when he recovered and began weight lifting that his career took off.

Scott spent his redshirt freshman season as a reserve defensive end and special teams standout.

In the 2012 Oseason he became a star, tying for the conference lead with nine sacks, garnering honorable mention all-conference honors and the team’s defensive MVP award.

This year, with defenses focused on stopping him, he’s been almost as good, with six sacks, a huge forced fumble against Ohio State and an even

bigger interception against Nebraska.

“It’s crazy how fast everything has gone,” Scott said. “The journey I’ve been on — from being a hurt guy coming in to being in the role I am now — I think I’ve grown as a person. I’m just going to cherish all the memories, all the wins and all the little things.”

Scott essentially refuses to talk about his own accomplishments. The moment he’ll most remember from his college career is last year’s Gator Bowl victory. Sack totals are only important insofar as they help the team win. Ideally, he says, his legacy won’t be being a great player but rather being part of great Cats teams.

It’s OK that Scott is so averse to bragging because Long is happy to do it for him. The defensive line coach has been at NU for six seasons and says the only comparable player he’s coached was Chicago Bears defensive end Corey Wootton.

Long called Scott “a coach’s dream” and raved about the example he has set for current and future linemen.

“What he leaves is respect,” Long said. “The guys will always see training video of him and how he plays the game. His legacy will be here long after he’s gone.”

Scott will graduate in December with a degree in Learning and Organizational Change from SESP, then pursue a pro career. Fitzgerald said he expects to see Scott playing in the NFL, but that’s far from a sure thing. Cbssports.com ranks Scott 47th among 2014 defensive ends. and ESPN puts him 53rd — at a position that had 20 players drafted a year ago.

So for the second time, Scott will be undersized and overlooked, striving to buck expectations.

“I just go back to how I was recruited in high school,” he says. “You never know. I’m just going to keep working hard, and hopefully something falls through and things align, and I’ll be somewhere.”

Brian Lee/Daily Senior Staffer

FULL STEAM AHEAD Senior defensive end Tyler Scott hunts down a quarterback. After nine sacks his junior year, Scott has six sacks through 10 games of his final season.

Scott is quick to point out his time at NU isn’t over, but it’s certainly running short. The Cats have two games left, three if things break right, before the train departs from the Evanston rail.

“I’ve had a great time,” Scott said. “And if I could go back and do it again, I’d do the same thing.” asputt@u.northwestern.edu

Strong heart propelled Proby to star role

By JOHN PASCHALL

daily senior staffer @John_Paschall

Coach Pat Fitzgerald watched high school tape of a linebacker from North Las Vegas back in 2008. He stared at the screen as a then-17-year-old Damien Proby constantly made plays and looked like a Big Ten linebacker in the making.

But something felt odd for Fitzgerald.

“Are we missing something?” he said at the time. “I didn’t understand why he wasn’t being recruited. His tape was outstanding. He played sideline to sideline.

He was physical. You talk to the people in the building, and he was a high-character guy.”

On April 13, 2008, NU officially jumped in the mix in hopes to get what the team thought was its next diamond in the rough.

“It was really exciting,” Proby said. “You know they’re a Big Ten team. You know they go out there and compete.”

The opportunity to play under a collegiate legend like Fitzgerald was too good of an experience to pass up.

“When you have a coach that plays your position, it’s a wonderful thing to have,” Proby said. “He sees things that you need to see that sometimes you may or may not see. You can take a lot of the learning experiences from him both as a leader and on the field play.”

Proby wound up committing to the Cats and left

the bright lights and slot machines of Vegas But freshman year wasn’t a breeze for Proby. He had a health scare with a heart condition, something he’s known about and dealt with all his life, that didn’t allow him to practice for a while. When he hit the playing field, Proby admired what some of the former NU great defenders, like Corey Wootton and Brad Phillips, did.

He wanted to follow in their footsteps right away.

“I want to be that person that everyone looks up to,” Proby said. “That was my mindset freshman year.”

Proby first started for the Cats in 2011 at Penn State. From there, he became a tackling machine for Fitzgerald’s defense, leading the unit in stops in 2012.

He began to fill out the frame that Fitzgerald and linebackers coach Randy Bates projected him to have coming out of high school.

Teammates started to look up to him and follow his example. As most of the people around Proby would say, he’s not the most vocal person in the locker room, but when he wants to say something, he has the respect of every player.

“I would liken him to a grandfather,” Bates said.

“He’s a guy who speaks little but when he does speak, he speaks volumes and people shut up and listen when he talks.”

One of his great leadership moments came early in the 2013 season, when the Cats had to fill a vacancy in the starting linebacker unit. Junior Collin Ellis was named the starter next to Proby, and Proby took the

Brian Lee/Daily Senior Staffer

new guy in the unit under his wing. Ellis said he’ll always appreciate the positive reinforcement Proby gave him.

“The biggest thing you can do is reassure your teammates that you can trust them,” Ellis said. “Earlier this year, before this season started, that’s something Proby had taught me.”

In a season filled with disappointment there was one bright personal moment for Proby, who recorded his first career interception against Maine.

Fitzgerald said although Proby may be more athletic and stronger than Fitzgerald was when he played, he always joked with Proby that he had the better hands as a linebacker.

“I think that’s the first ball that he’s ever caught in his life here,” Fitzgerald said after the game.

Looking back, Fitzgerald said Proby’s path is a perfect example of what football can provide someone on and off the field.

“He’s had a wonderful career,” Fitzgerald said. “He’s been a great leader. He’s been such a strong force for us in the middle for multiple years. I’m going to miss him.”

Bates, who keeps photos of all his linebackers from his eight years at NU in his office, said even though Proby may be graduating from the program, it won’t be the last time he’ll see him.

“Even though I’ll be losing him, I won’t be losing track of him,” Bates said.

Library exhibit shows used bookstore’s legacy By jennifer ball

the daily northwestern @jennifercball

On the second floor of the Evanston Public Library, among the thousands of books, 10 photographic prints, half in black-and-white and half in color, hang on gray panels.

The exhibit bills itself as a “poetic documentary” designed to “pay homage” to the used bookstore Bookman’s Alley and its owner Roger Carlson, whose lease runs out at the end of December.

The exhibit, which runs through November, is part of a larger body of work started in October 2011 when Evanston photographer Marc Perlish first heard Bookman’s Alley was closing.

“I wanted to show people who have never been there what it was like to walk around Bookman’s Alley,” Perlish said.

Perlish’s work is part of the Evanston Public Library’s “Local Art @ EPL” exhibits that feature Evanston-area artists and last about a month each.

About 33 years ago, Carlson opened Bookman’s Alley in the alley between Panera Bread and Saville Flowers in downtown Evanston.

“I spent 25 years doing things I did not enjoy, and I thought if I wanted to continue to live, I

should do something I did enjoy,” Carlson said.

“I thought I could make a living in the book business. I was just barely correct.”

Bookman’s Alley sells used travel, mystery and western books in the store with different sections marked by hand-written signs and relevant artifacts like Sherlock Holmes’ hat to signify mystery.

“I thought he did some beautiful work,” Carlson said of Perlish. “He used various items in the shop and combined it.”

Lesley Williams, head of adult public services at EPL, remembered the bookstore fondly.

“It was a community gathering place, not just a bookstore,” Williams said. “Bookman’s Alley has been a legendary institution for Evanston for years and years.”

Perlish plans to publish a much larger body of work that will turn into an e-book in 2014. It will comprise an introduction, and each photo will be accompanied by an original piece of music.

“Music was a big part of the feel of that place,” Perlish said.

Perlish, a flutist, will work on the original music with his friends, who are composers.

“It’s really turning a major page,” Perlish said.

“All things do come to an end.” jenniferball2015@u.northwestern.edu

Discussion highlights implications of drones By cat zakrzewski

Students sat on the floor in an overcrowded University Hall classroom on Thursday night to listen to a panel discussion about the ethical and political implications of drones.

The panel discussion hosted by the Northwestern Conference on Human Rights touched on international law and humanitarian questions. The event, which drew about 75 students, featured political science Prof. Ian Hurd and Charles E. Tucker Jr, a retired major general in the United States Air Force. Law School Prof.

Stephen Sawyer was also scheduled to speak at the panel but was unable to attend.

During the event, Hurd focused on the international legal implications of drones. When asked about future drone policy and the U.S. influence on it, he argued that international law could exist without international courts to enforce it. He also said when considering drone strikes, the United States needs to look more closely at particular situations from a local perspective.

“The policy is too big a thing to be for or against,” Hurd said.

Hurd said state actors could be more accountable and transparent about the times they take innocent human lives.

Tucker focused primarily on military strategy and was critical of public concern about

foreign policy at large. He said it was problematic that discussion on drones, as well as overall foreign policy, played only a minor role in the 2012 presidential election.

He emphasized that the U.S. zero tolerance military strategies are not winning strategies Countries need and repeatedly said, to be held more “You can’t spank a kid until they love you.” He accountable for criticized the U.S. military policy for coming the effects of as “force forward.” drone strikes. offHe said the miliWe also need tary needs to be more to more clearly “in this together” with the people in condefine longflict zones.

City may seek more security cameras near ETHS

By Edward Cox

daily senior staffer @EdwardCox16

The city is considering applying for a county grant to buy more security cameras for the streets leading to Evanston Township High School, Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl announced Thursday night.

At a 5th Ward meeting, Tisdahl floated the idea to about 20 people at the FleetwoodJourdain Community Center, stressing the need for creating a better perception of safety for students traveling to and from the high school. She also cited a survey that reported one-fifth of students feel unsafe going to and from ETHS. The security cameras would line Dodge Avenue from Howard Street to Simpson Street and Church Street from McCormick Boulevard to Ridge Avenue, Tisdahl said. City Council plans to discuss adding the cameras to what

she called “east-west, north-south safe corridors” in December and may apply for a grant from the Cook County Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management in January.

“We’re first in line for a pot of money that does not exist,” Tisdahl said.

The mayor’s announcement comes after City Council tabled a proposal to expand the so-called “safe school zone” around ETHS to the sidewalks across the streets from it. In the zone, police would be able to arrest anyone and charge them for criminal trespassing if they have been asked to leave and disobey or return.

Ald. Delores Holmes (5th) said she plans to maximize the intensity of lights that are already in her ward.

A resident brought up privacy concerns regarding the proposed additional cameras, but ETHS student Brandi Efiom defended them, saying they could improve safety in ETHS. She said fights sometimes break out

while she practices soccer at ETHS, and she is unsure whether to call police. The brawls happen more often inside the school than outside of it, Efiom told A lot The Daily after the of homicides meeting.

“I feel a lot more right now comfortable knoware emerging ing there are cameras there,” Efiom said durfrom personal ing the meeting. disputes.

Her mother, Patricia Efiom, said because Michael Endre, she completed the CitiEvanston Police zen Police Academy, Department a citizen education detective program, she believes the security cameras do not invade privacy. The security cameras in downtown Evanston, for example, are not intrusive, she said.

Despite the anti-violence message

“

throughout the meeting, it was interrupted at its beginning by a dispute near the community center, 1655 Foster St. Several officers already attending the meeting went outside to see what was going on, and the doors were locked.

At the meeting, detective Michael Endre from the Evanston Police Department gave residents a presentation about gangs in Evanston. He characterized current gangsters as more disorganized and younger than in the past.

Social media such as Facebook, YouTube and Twitter have given gangsters a convenient platform to launch attacks on their enemies, Endre said. Brandi Efiom agreed with Endre, saying she has seen ETHS students post threatening messages through social media.

“A lot of homicides right now are emerging from personal disputes,” Endre said. “You have younger and younger kids feeling they need to exert themselves.” edwardcox2011@u.northwestern.edu

Township spotlights services offered By rosalie chan

the daily northwestern @rosaliech1

Evanston Township hosted an open house for its new offices Thursday at the Lorraine H. Morton Civic Center, hoping to raise awareness of its services among residents.

The township offices moved to the civic center, 2100 Ridge Ave., in September from their previous location near the intersection of Dodge Avenue and Main Street. Acting township supervisor Wally Bobkiewicz said the move saved money.

“It’s good to have an open house to introduce its offices to residents in the Evanston Township,” said Bobkiewicz, who also serves as city manager. “It’s really just to share information about the services the township provides.”

Attendees could ask questions and learn about general assistance programs such as work training, counseling services, basic education, notary and medical assistance. In addition, they the center offers guidance on emergency assistance, property assessment services and taxpayer assessment services.

Evanston resident Kenneth Daily said he attended the open house to inform himself about programs for needy people, and he learned that they will not be cut.

“We need them,” Daily said. “Things are real

hard and tight right now. A lot of my friends are struggling. I like the people here because they’re nice. They’re informative if anything new is coming up. We really like their help and how they stay in touch with us like a friend or neighbor.”

Peter Kitzhoefer, manager of Rolf ’s Auto Care, also attended the open house. He said he wanted to learn more about the township assessor’s office.

“I wanted to know what services are available,” Kitzhoefer said. “There are people who come to my auto shop who don’t have a lot of money. I’d like to say, ‘Try the assessor’s office,’ or to try to point them to services.”

The open house came several weeks after City Council voted to ask voters in March whether they want to dissolve the township. Bobkiewicz said if the township is dissolved, its services would continue, but as a function of the city of Evanston.

Rodney Greene, city and township clerk, said he does not think that the dissolution will happen.

However, he said that the people of Evanston have concerns about the possible dissolution.

“Now if the township is dissolved, the question is what services will be continued and how it will affect the community as a whole,” Greene said.

“If it dissolves, the offices would stay, but I don’t think the whole staff will stay on board, and that’s the problem.”

Township assessor Bonnie Wilson said she disagrees with the possible dissolution and does not know how it would affect her office.

SPREADING THE WORD Residents attend the Evanston Township open house Thursday afternoon. The open house was held to share information about the new location of township offices.

“I’m not happy with it because I know we do excellent service to the taxpayers of Evanston,” Wilson said.

Kitzhoefer said that if Evanston’s citizens have the same access to services, he would favor dissolution.

“My understanding is that the reason for this is that very important services can be more efficient for the budget, which can be leveraged for other things,” Kitzhoefer said. “I would be in agreement.”

stretch, but neither was able to find the back of the net. Like their last game, regulation expired in a deadlock. Entering overtime, the Cats looked to redshirt senior midfielder and team co-captain Chris Ritter for leadership.

“We’ve been to a number of OT games this year,” Ritter said, “and lost a bunch of heartbreakers. Not much needed to be said.”

Ritter had a chance to be the hero with a free kick from 25 yards but couldn’t quite bend it over the Braves’ wall. Momentum swung to Bradley, which converted a header off a long throw in to dash NU’s hopes and punch its ticket to the next round of the NCAA Tournament.

“I’m proud of the way this group stuck with it,” Lenahan said. “We never quit despite all of the things that went wrong this year. … It was the worst season we could’ve had, and we were still an NCAA tournament team.” robertpillote2017@u.northwestern.edu

“He’s not a two, he’s not a three, he’s not a four. He’s just a player,” Collins said.

Growing pains are inevitable, but Collins is optimistic about Taphorn’s future contributions.

“Nate is going to be a really good player here,” Collins said. “I’m really high on Nate.

He’s got really good size, he really shoots the ball well, he’s got a good feel for the game. Right now he’s just a freshman. He’s going through that transition. ... It’s all part of the learning process.

the 4-12 conference record, Ohio State is not a team to scoff at.

“The Buckeyes are another team fighting like we are,” Chan said.

NU’s NCAA tournament hopes could get a big boost this weekend if all cylinders are firing — and Chan knows it.

“I want to see us rise to the occasion, this is the time of year where you want to play your best volleyball,” Chan said. “We want to combine our best volleyball physically with the way we’ve been fighting and competing. If we do that, it’ll be another step to where we want to be at the end of the season.”

Walgreen’s public commitments to sustainability is the Better Buildings Challenge, a Department of Energy initiative that urges companies to reduce energy consumption 20 percent by 2020.

“Doing projects like (the net-zero retail store) will help us toward that goal,” Meyers said. “We can learn from this project and apply it to not only new stores moving forward, but to our existing store footprint.”

The store will be open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends.

“He’s not reckless,” Jim Foley said on the show. “ Both times Foley was captured, the Northwestern community has responded. This time, the University initially struggled to assist in the efforts due to the lack of information about his capture. In May, the Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications hosted a watch party for “Silenced Voices: When Conflict Journalists Go Missing,” the event in Boston where Balboni shared developments in Foley’s capture.

At that event, Medill Prof. Jack Doppelt moderated a panel of veteran conflict-zone reporters, which included Roxanna Saberi (Medill ‘99). Saberi wrote a bestselling novel about her imprisonment in Tehran on the grounds of espionage.

Months later, Medill’s continued support for the Foley family remains visible in the plastic “Free James Foley” buttons scattered throughout Fisk Hall and the McCormick Tribune Center. In honor of the one year anniversary of Foley’s capture, the Medill Undergraduate Student Advisory Council spearheaded a social media campaign, asking students to tweet why they think free press is important with the hashtag “#FreeJamesFoley.”

The undefeated Wildcats take to the road for the first time this season to face their biggest challenge yet: the No. 17 California Golden Bears. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really excited about playing Cal this weekend,â&#x20AC;? sophomore guard Maggie Lyon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great opportunity so early in the season to play such a highly ranked opponent.â&#x20AC;?

Last year, Northwestern suffered a heartbreaking loss to Cal in the final minutes at Welsh-Ryan Arena, and the Cats look to avenge that loss this weekend.

Lyon is particularly anxious to show the Golden Bears what sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made of. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to play in that game last year because I was hurt at the time, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited to get to play them this year,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Lyon is coming off a career game against Hofstra on Wednesday night, earning her first career double-double with 11 points and 13 rebounds. Now that she knows she can get a double-double, she said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to shift her focus away from just

Coach Jimmy Tierney said the invitational is a good opportunity for him to straighten out lineups for future meets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still trying to figure out some of the events for champs,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And this meet will give us a good idea of who will swim what.â&#x20AC;?

before coming to NU. Freshman Katie Branch said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll turn her focus to the training trip after this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competition.

The drop taper at the past few practices should help her performance at the three-day contest, the swimmer added.

During taper, Branch said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more about quality (of yardage), not quantity.â&#x20AC;?

The breaststroker said she reacts well to taper and hopes to have some top swims this weekend. An Arizona native, she also expressed excitement to travel near her hometown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard the trip is a lot of hard training, but it sounds like a lot of fun, too,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Freestyler Annika Winsnes said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exited for the invitationals, but the freshman expressed concerns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be harder for us to keep up our energy for three days,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Still, Winsnes looks positively at the rest of the season. She said this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meet will â&#x20AC;&#x153;be a good testâ&#x20AC;? of what the Wildcats are capable of.

The freshman added that she is anticipating the upcoming training trip at Arizona State, which will be the first time away since the start of her college career.

The nine days of intense training sessions will begin as soon as finals week is over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can really focus on being with each other,â&#x20AC;?

Winsnes added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a lot of hard work.â&#x20AC;?

I think offensively weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get going because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a really hard team to stop.â&#x20AC;?

NUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offensive struggles have shown on the Big Ten leaderboards. The Cats currently rank last in the conference with only 68.5 points per game. Additionally, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put up the lowest field goal percentage and made the least amount of 3-pointers in the Big Ten. Where the Catsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense has struggled, though, the defense has picked up the slack. NU is second in the conference for least points allowed and ranks first in lowest opponent field goal percentage and in blocks.

Despite still being a work in progress, this team is enjoying its early season success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we feel really good about our team chemistry and how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been playing,â&#x20AC;? Lyon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are obviously things we can improve on, but I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all really excited for the opportunity (to play Cal), and we really feel that we can win.â&#x20AC;?

Part of what 5 p.m. Sunday will allow Lyon to alter her style is the exceptional play of freshman forward Nia Coffey.

She looks forward to her first college road trip. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited,â&#x20AC;? Coffey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love playing with this team. Calâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great team, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just excited to get there to play with these girls again.â&#x20AC;?

Although undefeated, NU has struggled so far this season with consistency. Its play has been streaky, and the offense has struggled at points.

Coach Joe McKeown, however, is not worried. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still November,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of different lineups out there, so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna have some streaky play.

The Cats failed to advance to the next round of the NCAA Tournament, falling to Bradley 3-2 at Lakeside Field. The defeat was almost an exact replica of the teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; earlier season match.

Bradley

Northwestern had flashbacks of its previous game against Bradley on Thursday night.

In the opening round of NCAA Tournament play, the Wildcats (10-8-3) fell to the Braves (14-6-2) 3-2 for the second time this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bradley played very well,â&#x20AC;? coach Tim Lenahan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a tough, tough team to play. â&#x20AC;Ś They certainly earned their victory tonight.â&#x20AC;?

The last time these two teams met on Oct. 2, the Braves took an early 2-0 lead.

The Cats rallied back to force overtime but ultimately lost in the extra period.

NU surrendered the opening goal just six minutes into Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game.

Bradley forward Scott Davis corralled the ball from a scrum at the top of the box

and blasted it past the NU defense and into the net.

The Cats struck back just five minutes later. Sophomore midfielder Cole Missimo drove deep into the box before passing to junior defender Nikko Boxall, who had a perfect finish to equalize the score at 1-1.

The tie wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last, however. Bradley struck again in the 27th minute, this time off a corner kick that was headed past a leaping Tyler Miller. The junior goalkeeper finished the game with four saves.

It was a quiet first half for the referees,

who noticeably swallowed their whistles on many foul calls for both teams.

Lepe Seetane led the charge for NU at the start of the second period. The senior midfielder, who finished the game with four shots, had an excellent chance just three minutes in. Setanee beat Braves goalkeeper Brian Billings and pushed a shot from 10 yards out, but the Bradley defense made a great recovery and kicked the ball away at the last second. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a great college soccer game,â&#x20AC;?

Lenahan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lots of action. Lots of opportunity.â&#x20AC;?

The Cats continued to press but struggled to generate chances against a stiff Braves defense. NU finally broke through with 13 minutes remaining in regulation, as junior defender Grant Wilson poked a rebound past a sprawled Billings to tie the game again at 2 goals apiece.

Both teams traded chances down the Âť See MENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S SOCCER, page 10

Last week, coach Keylor Chan made significant lineup changes to spark his squad and saw his efforts rewarded with a pair of victories. Northwestern fired out to a four-set win over then-No. 18 Purdue and triumphed against Indiana in a match that went the distance.

This weekend, those tweaks will be put to the ultimate test.

In its final road trip of the regular season, NU (16-12, 8-8 Big Ten) will start its journey with a pair of tough contests Friday and Saturday night. Those back-toback evenings will include battles against No. 2 Penn State (24-2, 15-1) and Ohio State (16-12, 4-12).

The former, of course, is the mightier of the two squads and is unlikely to fall without a near flawless performance from the Wildcats. But the Buckeyes are no slouches. Ohio State won its first 13 matches of the season and possesses victories over Michigan and Purdue â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two top-25 squads â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on its resume.

Put bluntly, any persistent lack of execution will doom NU. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to bring our A-game for sure,â&#x20AC;? outside hitter Monica McGreal said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody will have to be on and really work together as a team in order to win.â&#x20AC;?

If anybody can talk about being â&#x20AC;&#x153;on,â&#x20AC;? itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s McGreal. The junior was the source of one of Chanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roster shake-ups, with her increased role in the front row and shift into a full-time attacking mode. McGreal responded with 11 kills against the Boilermakers and then turned it up a notch, producing a career-high 21 terminations versus Indiana.

She was hardly the only success story on that front. Junior outside hitter Yewande Akanbi received a similar attacking designation and mirrored

Northwestern vs. No. 2 Penn State University Park, Pa. 6 p.m. Friday

Northwestern vs. Ohio State Columbus, Ohio 7:30 p.m. Saturday

McGrealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11 kills in the opening match.

Her 17 in the next contest didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t match McGrealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total but was still quite impressive. Redshirt junior Katie Dutchman moved to the middle in the front row and was a force against the Hoosiers, providing her squad with two solo blocks and eight block assists.

All of these contributions could prove vital in the Penn State contest â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially Dutchmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blocking.

The Nittany Lions lead the nation in blocks per set at 3.13. Penn State employs 6-foot-6 Katie Slay as the enforcer, with 1.68 blocks per set. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardly the only player to avoid on the front row though.

Six others have at least .6 blocks per set.

The Nittany Lions outdid the Cats 9-0 in that category in their straight-sets victory last month and, overall, have captured 27 of their last 28 stanzas played.

NU is cognizant of what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to face up front. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge challenge,â&#x20AC;? Dutchman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really, really big team, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re usually the powerhouse blocking team.â&#x20AC;?

The Buckeyes have no such blocking power. The team is at a mere 2.1 per set in that statistic and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exceedingly dangerous in any category. The Cats also dispatched the Buckeyes in four sets in their first meeting.

Still, Dutchman admitted the program has a â&#x20AC;&#x153;bad reputationâ&#x20AC;? for their play in Columbus. Her coach added that despite Âť See VOLLEYBALL, page 10

Taphorn finds footing early on as true freshman

By ALEX PUTTERMAN

daily senior staffer @AlexPutt02

First things first: what to call that Taphorn kid? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s listed as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nathanâ&#x20AC;? on his official Northwestern Athletics Web page but â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nateâ&#x20AC;? on ESPN.com.

His Twitter name is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nathan,â&#x20AC;? but his Twitter handle is â&#x20AC;&#x153;NU_nate32.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever one flows,â&#x20AC;? Taphorn said this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coaches call me Nate or Tap. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never Nathan. If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting called Nathan by one of my friends or by my parents â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s either Nathan Patrick or just Nathan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in trouble or somethingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong.â&#x20AC;?

Taphorn could also go by frosh, as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only true freshman on this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wildcat team. Originally a Bill Carmody recruit, the Illinois native stayed committed when coach Chris Collins replaced Carmody last spring.

IUPUI vs. Northwesern Evanston 7 p.m. Friday

Such loyalty was no forgone conclusion, as Carmodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other Class of 2016 commit, Jaren Sina, jumped ship after the coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s firing. But Taphornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attraction to NU went beyond the man at the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I fell in love with the school and fell in love with the program,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I liked coach Carmody but I love coach Collins, too. All these guys that have come on board, and the whole staff has just brought me in. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a new family.â&#x20AC;?

Sophomore forward Kale Abrahamson competes for playing time with Taphorn but is â&#x20AC;&#x153;best buddiesâ&#x20AC;? with the freshman off the court. Abrahamson said he is impressed with Taphornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

maturity and his ability to blend in with the team so quickly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cool cat,â&#x20AC;? Abrahamson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Normally freshmen are a little slow to mix in with the guys and get acclimated. I probably was much more slow than he was. He just kind of fit right in.â&#x20AC;?

Settling into the team on the court has been less smooth.

Taphorn scored 10 points in 23 minutes in NUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exhibition game and 5 points in 25 minutes in the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season-opener. But the forwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contributions have since declined. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played only 33 minutes in the Catsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; last three games and has not made a field goal during that time.

Still, he said, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get â&#x20AC;&#x153;too down on the downs and too high on highs.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a lot of abilities,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t used them all. To help this team I need to bring out more of my strengths, and do what I can,

whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s screening or rebounding or whatever.â&#x20AC;?

Collins called Taphorn â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of our best shooters if not our best shooterâ&#x20AC;? but said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s careful not to pigeonhole players into specific roles. Everyone, the coach said, will need to do everything, especially in upcoming weeks.

The Cats are currently embedded in a difficult segment of schedule.

Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win over Illinois-Chicago was the first of five games in 10 games, as NU next faces IUPUI on Friday. That game, in Evanston, begins the Continental Tire Las Vegas Invitational, during which the Cats will also host Gardner-Webb, before taking on Missouri and UCLA in Nevada next week.

As the schedule becomes busier and the opponents better, depth becomes more important. Taphorn and Abrahamson â&#x20AC;&#x201D; NUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eighth and ninth men, in some order â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will surely play important roles over the next week and
