Feinberg prof tests leukemia drug By Christine Farolan

the daily northwestern @crfarolan

A multinational research team that includes Feinberg School of Medicine professor Dr. Shuo Ma is testing a drug that may make a common form of leukemia treatable without the use of chemotherapy. Led by Dr. Richard Furman of Weill Cornell Medical College, 19 medical centers administered clinical trials of the new drug to qualifying patients. As a principal investigator, Ma offered the treatment to her patients at the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center, saying it has shown promising results. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is a disease of B cells, a type of white blood cell that produces antibodies as part of the immune system. Leukemia cells rely on the B cell receptor, which transmits signals allowing the cancerous cells to survive. The new drug hinders an enzyme that facilitates this process. The drug, idelalisib, is being orally administered in tandem with rituximab, a common current treatment for this form of leukemia. Only 13 percent of patients taking rituximab alone responded to treatment after six months, compared to 81 percent of patients receiving idelalisib. After the study ran for a year, 92 percent of patients receiving both drugs were still living, while 80 percent of patients receiving just rituximab were alive. This difference was so striking the study was cut short and clinics began giving idelalisib and rituximab to all patients, Ma said. “By blocking the enzyme’s function, it therefore blocks proliferation,” Ma

said. Patients take the drug twice daily until the leukemia cells stop responding. Most patients from the original trial are still taking the drug, and, as with all new medications, it will need to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration before being offered outside of clinical trials. Gilead, the company that produces idelalisib, is working on submitting the drug’s information to the FDA. “Because it was so effective, the approval (process) has been accelerated,” Ma said. Historically, it takes various phases across a period of years to complete this process, depending on whether data is found to be sufficient. Ibrutinib, a similar drug that also blocks the B cellsignaling pathway that allows the cancer cells to grow, was the first drug in this category to be approved to treat this type of leukemia in November 2013. Given that the toxic side effects of chemotherapy can be more harmful to patients than the disease itself, these developments are significant in B cell lymphoma care. On campus, Northwestern’s Relay for Life raises money to fund cancer research and increase awareness. Cochair Bridget Popovic said it was exciting to hear about research for new drugs. “Anyone who knows someone who’s gone through cancer treatment knows how debilitating that can be,” the McCormick sophomore said. “If there can be any alternatives for someone to replace chemotherapy treatments, it would be fantastic.” christinefarolan2017@u.northwestern.edu

Crime drops nearly 10 percent By Ciara McCarthy

daily senior staffer @mccarthy_ciara

Crime in Evanston fell nearly 10 percent in 2013 compared to the previous year, according to police data. Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott presented the department’s 2013 crime

report Monday to the City Council. The overall drop of 9.8 percent came with double-digit declines in robbery, burglary and aggravated battery. The reduction is the most significant Evanston has seen since 2010, Parrott said. In addition to the drop in overall and violent crime, Police Chief Richard Eddington drew attention to the

department’s clearance rate for the shooting deaths in 2013. Police have cleared all four deaths that were ruled a homicide. EPD considers a case to be “cleared” if it has collected enough evidence to show a person is more likely than not an offender, Parrott said. A case can be cleared without the arrest » See Crime, page 5

ASG Senate hears updates on group funding, CAPS After analyzing data from the last fiscal year, Associated Student Government discussed Wednesday a proposed idea that advocates say will better allocate funding to A- and B-status student groups. Tori Zuzelo, the head of a working group that assesses student groups, said some organizations currently do not use all the money granted to them while others continuously request more. Some B-status groups may only apply for ASG recognition — and the funding that comes with it — for publicity purposes, Zuzelo said. ASG research in the 2012-13 fiscal year showed these student groups often do not spend all of their allotted funds.

Currently, ASG caps its funding by category, allocating only a certain amount for areas such as storage, venue and sound and light costs. However, research showed some organizations need to spend more than the ASG-determined cap. Under the new proposal, ASG would work to decrease these costs, possibly by working with the administration to negotiate lower fees and purchasing commonly-rented equipment. “We want to weed out those groups that don’t actually need the funding but expand the lower caps so the groups that actually could use that money, get that money,” Zuzelo said. The working group will be looking more closely at how these student groups use the money allotted to them. A possible solution would be to create a middle tier between A-status and B-status groups to create an additional

funding group. John Dunkle, executive director of Counseling and Psychological Services, also updated Senate on recent CAPS initiatives, including the mental health Essential NU that debuted this year; NU Listens, a peer-listening program; and the emotional intelligence course piloted last year. Dunkle discussed the success of recent programming supported by a clear increase in the numbers of students utilizing the CAPS services. “Last academic year we saw a 14 percent increase in number of students requesting services at our center,” Dunkle said. “So this year, I just ran some numbers today, we are on pace to beat that number. We are up 12 percent this year the same time that we were last year.” Dunkle also said invitations will be sent out Friday to invite individuals to contribute to a campus coalition on

mental health and suicide prevention, a new program comprised of students and faculty to test the efficiency of CAPS. It will incorporate a Jed Foundation survey to assess the state of campus mental health services that will take place in March. “At the end of that, we are going to have some really clear recommendations of areas where we can approve and also some real kudos for what we’re doing really well because we are doing a lot really well,” Dunkle said. ASG’s election commission introduced updated guidelines for the ASG presidential election and explained the timeline for the election, which will take place in the spring. Senators voiced concerns about the current guidelines and voted to wait to fully consider the proposal until next week’s meeting.

car after he performed with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra at Wisconsin Lutheran College when he was shocked with a taser, fell to the ground and dropped the violin. The Lipinski violin, which was built in Italy in 1715, was on loan to Almond, the orchestra’s concertmaster. “The artistic heritage of Milwaukee was assaulted and robbed,” Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn said at a news conference Tuesday. “This violin is very

valuable, but very valuable to a very small population. This is not something that can be easily sold for even a fraction of its monetary value.” Flynn said the violin could be worth seven figures and has a special design on the back. Police believe the violin was the target of the robbery. There are fewer than 700 Stradivarius violins in the world. “This, theoretically, could be an international crime,” Flynn said.

Mark Neihaus, president of the orchestra, said Almond was recovering from the incident but would not be performing this weekend. “We continue to play these instruments in the tradition that they were built in and the instruments need to be played to live on,” Neihaus said at the news conference. “So, that’s why these instruments are out in circulation and why they’re played on stages all over the country.”

It was the only Stradivarius in Milwaukee, he added. Almond has been on the faculty at NU since 2010, and since 1997, he has been a part of the Grammy-nominated chamber group An die Musik. He will join the faculty of Chicago College of the Performing Arts at Roosevelt University in the fall of 2014, according to Roosevelt’s website.

‘Loser’ hopes to win with yoga studio

Editor in Chief Paulina Firozi

By Jennifer Ball

the daily northwestern @jennifercball

After Danni Allen’s dad became sick, she spent his birthday in the hospital with him and decided to make a change: She was going to start losing weight. That pledge led her to season 14 of “The Biggest Loser” which aired last year. She was the season’s winner, after losing 121 pounds. Her newfound knowledge about body-weight training prompted her to open ONE 2 ONE Yoga — a nod to the weight she lost — in December at 2901 Central St. Allen said she learned about yoga on the show from trainer Jillian Michaels. Michaels taught her about body-weight training, or exercising one’s body without using weights, she said. “A lot of it is about yoga. I realized it is something I want to do all the time and also bring to my community,” Allen said. “We can help you discover more about your body ... and I have a place I can call home.” Since the show ended in March, Allen has participated in several races, culminating with the Chicago Marathon in October. She has also had opportunities to travel and do motivational speaking around the country.

Police Blotter Chicago woman arrested in connection with credit card theft Police arrested a Chicago woman Monday morning in connection with forgery and unlawful use of a credit card. The credit cards in question were stolen in October during a football practice at Foster Field in west Evanston near the FleetwoodJourdain Community Center, Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said. A 9-year-old boy took

“What keeps me motivated is setting a goal beyond every goal,” she said. The Clemson University graduate collaborated with her business partner, Marcus Lemonis, in December to open the 1500-square-foot yoga studio, which shares a building with Rose’s Cafe and Bakery. Lemonis also owns the bakery, which is known for its gluten-free goods. Allen said she chose Evanston for her yoga studio because the community prioritizes personal health. The 27-year-old, who currently lives in Wheeling, Ill., hopes to move to Evanston in April. “I found Evanston was a really progressive community that was eating right and exercising,” she said. Prior to winning the competition, Allen worked as an advertising coordinator for an RV and camping supplies company. On “The Biggest Loser,” she also discovered the importance of answering the question of why. She learned why she had put on the weight and why she wanted to lose the weight through being a contestant. “What I really learned when it comes to weight control and maintenance is it really comes down to eating right and exercising, but it’s not that easy to do when you don’t have the mental strength,” Allen said. “When you can finally answer the question why, you can finally have the mental strength. That’s what the a wallet from a purse during the practice and gave the wallet to his mother, the Chicago woman arrested by police, Parrott said. The wallet contained two credit cards, Parrott said. She is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday.

Co-founder of teacher training program talks methods By Preston R. MICHELSON

the daily northwestern @prestonmich

The co-founder of the Urban Teacher Center came to Northwestern on Wednesday to speak about her career and the state of education in the United States. Jennifer Green, who once worked as a teacher through Teach for America, spoke at Annenberg Hall in an event organized by the NU chapter of the Students For Educational Reform. Before she started the Washington, D.C.based UTC, a hands-on education training program, Green was the director of curriculum and instruction for Baltimore’s public high schools. Green, who studied communications at Boston University, said her journalistic background helped her significantly in talking to other professionals about how they evaluate their companies. “I was so interested in learning from different industries,” she said. “Education is this insular little bubble … so it was helpful checking in with other industries and learning how to think about codifying practice.”

James Franco to debut new poetry collection at NU School of Law

The Chicago Humanities Festival announced Wednesday actor James Franco will visit Northwestern’s Chicago campus next month to discuss his filmmaking and debut his new poetry collection. Franco, the star of “127 Hours”and “Spring Breakers,” will join well-known poet Frank Bidart for the Feb. 19 program called “James Franco and Frank Bidart, Off the Shelf.”

She said she had an epiphany when speaking with a manager of three different McDonald’s franchises. “I asked him, ‘How do you guys get the fries to taste like that every single time?’ she said. “And the training that the fry guy gets at McDonald’s is unbelievable. It’s weeks of training before he ever makes fries on his own. I was so And then the manager interested stops in weekly for in learning impromptu check-ins. from different When I taught, somebody came to my classindustries. room twice in three years.

It involves hands-on training that prepares teachers for facing their first class. “We’re trying to simulate what the first day

“

A filmmaker as well as an actor and a poet, Franco will discuss his 2010 short film “Herbert White,” which is based off a poem written by Bidart, and his related poetry collection, titled “Directing Herbert White.” The event will be held in the School of Law’s Thorne Auditorium on NU’s Chicago campus. General ticket sales will begin Thursday at noon. Prices range from $10 to $30. The event is jointly presented by the Poetry Foundation and NU’s Alice Kaplan Institute for the Humanities. — Ally Mutnick

of teaching is like as many times as we can for people,” she said. “So, by the time you get your kids … you know how you want your classroom organized, you know entry routines, you know how to plan and you know what your first week is going to look like.” According to its website, UTC is a nonprofit organization that “recruits outstanding applicants, equips them with state-of-the-art training, and links their certification to their students’ performance outcomes.” The program uses “bug-in-the-ear training” because it realized coaching during teaching proved more effective than after-the-fact instruction. Starting in the second year, the organization pre- and post-tests the students of the teachers in training. Teachers are prepared through a residency model and a dual Master’s of Education program. Green said UTC is planning to expand to Chicago for the 2015-2016 academic year.

Across Campuses Number of students applying to 7 or more colleges declines, report shows The panic in the college application process may be easing a bit. That’s the way some experts are interpreting statistics in a new report that shows a slight decline in the number of high school seniors who apply to seven or more colleges. That decline in 2012 was the first in 20 years, according to the study by the National Association for College Admission Counseling. It had swelled from 9 percent in 1992 to 29 percent in 2011. Then the

share of students applying to seven or more schools declined to 28 percent. “In good news, there are some indicators that there may be an end in sight to the application scramble among students and colleges,” said the report, entitled “2013 State of College Admissions.” It also said that anecdotal evidence suggests some colleges are “curbing efforts to bring in as many applications as possible, in favor of more focused targeting of ‘good-fit’ students who would be likely to attend.” — Larry Gordon (Los Angeles Times)

Opposition SOTU responses needlessly partisan Yoni Muller

Daily columnist

Last Tuesday night, the nation tuned in as President Barack Obama delivered his State of the Union address. After he finished, roughly 12 people stuck around to watch the Republican response, given by Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.). Unlike responses of the past, this one was addressed smooth, successful and went off without any awkward sips of water. Ultimately, her response was articulate, non-threatening, likable and extremely detrimental. Of course, Rodgers would probably disagree with that: The response provided her with some always-welcome national attention and made her seem extremely likable. However, I think it’s high time we acknowledged that having a response to the State of the Union does more harm than good for the political climate. In theory, it seems entirely appropriate to allow Republicans to respond to their Democratic president (or vice versa). However, unlike the president, no member of Congress has the same level of authority — legitimate or perceived — as the president. As such, they cannot talk about executive actions they’ve taken or receive credit for a majority of successful administrative agendas. Additionally, their words on foreign policy carry absolutely no weight or

significance, which is why no discussion of that area was in the Republican response. Instead of being an opportunity to discuss well thought-out ideas and plans to a national audience, the official response to the State of the Union amounted to nothing more than partisan grandstanding. It takes a speech that is mostly nonpartisan and makes party lines a focal point of the evening. It seems strange to think that a political speech can be nonpartisan, because to a certain extent, any speech will have partisan elements. During the State of the Union, the president must talk about what’s on his agenda and lay out rudimentary frameworks for potential plans. Those ideas are shaped by ideology, which determines someone’s political affiliation, so of course there will be overlap. However, the speech made no mention of gay marriage, abortion or the National Security Agency; it said nothing about carbon taxes, wealth redistribution or other Democratic pillars. In fact, it included the suggestion of lowering corporate tax rates. Past addresses similarly refrain from partisan rhetoric. For nearly all practical purposes, the State of the Union is as close to nonpartisan as a speech can get, serving only to inspire Congress and the general population for year of action and laying out the administrative agenda. Of course, Republicans and Democrats have the same agenda. They both care about immigration, a shrinking middle class,

bringing in jobs, keeping people healthy and more. Rodgers herself put this succinctly when she said, “(Republicans) want you to have a better life. The President wants that too.” She then spent the next 15 minutes trying to convey an imaginary chasm of difference between the political parties. Partisan responses are fitting to speeches about a specific legislative issue, not for a piece of agenda setting. As well as she said it, announcing that Republicans have plans and solutions “to improve our education and training systems,” or “to help you take home more of your pay,” without detailing those plans, and without those plans being in disagreement with anything outlined in the State of the Union, is pointless. If Republicans have plans worth considering, then we should put partisanship aside to consider them. But announcing their mere existence as a cheap political ploy does nothing but deepen the divides that so many of us have grown tired of. Or at least we’ve claimed to grow tired of them. Obama’s substitution of the United States for “Red” or “Blue” ones propelled him to superstardom; political brinksmanship continues to be seen as the largest problem in Washington. And yet we still allow these petty political tactics to continue. I realize that opposition responses are a long-standing tradition dating back to 1966, and I realize that Democrats gladly take part in the same form of political maneuvers during Republican administrations, which I look upon no more favorably.

WHAT’s NEW WITH YOU President Barack Obama delivers his State of the Union speech Tuesday during a joint session of Congress on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. Obama’s address was followed by three separate Republican responses.

But not all traditions ought to be held forever, and it’s long time we abandoned this one. There are 364 other days filled with opportunities for political squabbles, cheap shots and unsubstantive statements; maybe we can leave just one aside to acknowledge the things we agree on instead of forcing attention on where we differ.

Legislative progress does not reflect support levels Matt Gates

Daily columnist

Most Americans support same-sex marriage, why is it not legal in more states? President Barack Obama’s statement last week that he believes marijuana to be no more dangerous than alcohol generated a variety of responses. Although reaction ranged from lukewarm to completely outraged, a 2013 Gallup poll found that more than half of Americans support the legalization of marijuana. Earlier this month, Colorado became the first state to legalize the sale of marijuana for recreational use. Washington state is soon to follow. However, one would have hoped that with a majority of Americans supporting the

The Drawing Board

legalization of cannabis, more states would have followed suit or change would even have occurred at the federal level. The legalization of marijuana, as well as other social issues such as same-sex marriage, has failed to see action matching the support it has gained. While obviously many crucial issues occupy the time and attention of American lawmakers and citizens, we should work in 2014 to make our laws match the outlook of most citizens. A push for the legalization of marijuana is not the only recent cultural shift to happen quickly but be acted upon slowly. As of last May, 53 percent of Americans supported gay marriage. Although the gay rights movement has achieved significant gains in recent years — most notably the Supreme Court’s ruling in June that the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional — people in 33 states do not have access to the right to marry someone of the same sex. In a democracy, it is important to avoid the rule of the mob. However, proponents of gay marriage and cannabis legalization are not an uninformed majority attempting mob

rule. These groups represent social progress that should move forward. Given that the majority of Americans support the right of LGBT people to marry, it is surprising that the gay rights movement has not moved even more quickly. An American is In comparison to arrested every the United States, some other countries 42 seconds have moved more for marijuana- quickly to introduce social related crimes progressive policies.

just more pressing. Perhaps a vocal minority is stronger than the majority. Perhaps it will simply take more time to adjust legislation to the views of most Americans. However, America cannot afford to wait to institute legislation that most Americans would see as a positive change. Millions of LGBT people are waiting for the right to marry, despite widespread support for their cause. An American is arrested once every 42 seconds for marijuana-related crimes, on average, even with widespread recognition of the drug’s relative harmlessness. No one doubts that America faces numerous major political and social issues today: economic struggle, changes to the nation’s health care system and global conflicts, to name a few. However, gay marriage and the legalization of marijuana should not be ignored by lawmakers and voters as support for these movements grows. Matt Gates is a Weinberg freshman.

I can’t think of anything north of Philly’s Best, 815 Emerson St., that’s open late off campus. That, for people like me who live on Sherman and Noyes, is a bit of a problem. Enter: DMK Burger & Fish. The brainchild of David Morton and Michael Kornick, who have already opened several popular restaurants in the Chicago area, will be a surefire hit when it opens midFebruary, and is North Campus’ answer to Edzo’s. “I like to fish where there are no boats,” Morton said Wednesday during a preview event at his restaurant. “I feel like we offer

something very unique in this area. I don’t think we reinvented the wheel, but I don’t think there’s a word for the style of food we serve.” Really? Because I could think of four: “Holy s---, that’s good.” I sampled quite a bit of the fare Wednesday, and nearly all of the offerings were home runs. DMK’s take on the po-boy, filled with fried shrimp, crawfish and a garlic aioli, made me feel like I had just flashed a stranger for some beads on a hot day in New Orleans. (Seriously though, it was amazing.) The turkey burger was another hit, and I could go ahead and list every burger on the menu, but I’ll save you some time by telling you they are all worth ordering.

and sea salt, made me proud of the day my parFrom page 1 ents decided to move to America. Outside of the burger options, the fish is also a solid way to go. The cod filet sandwich is the perfect balance of delicate and fried goodness. A lot of people are skeptical of fish sandwiches (well, not my roommate Ryan Miller — he’s done unspeakable things to a BK Big Fish). But DMK treats all of their ingredients with extreme care. Morton said he wants each of his ingredients to shine for their natural taste.

And it’s clear the quality of the ingredients elevates the menu to another level. “We’re the largest buyer of grass-fed beef in the Midwest, outside of grocery stores,” Morton said. “If you asks me what sets us apart, it’s quality, period.” Morton is aided by his generational upbringing in the restaurant business. His father runs the famous Morton’s Steakhouse brand. His sister recently opened Found, 1631 Chicago Ave. And Morton’s brother has had years of experience running various operations in Las Vegas. When I spoke to him, Morton made it clear his latest effort will certainly reach out

to students at Northwestern. “Obviously being open late is one thing,” Morton said. “I also believe we’ve found the intersection of value and quality that will really appeal to students.” DMK is also not at all intimidating to grab a bite. You don’t need to be a foodie. You don’t need to know what gastroeconomicpsychicology is. It’s a chill spot where you can drink a beer, listen to The Doors and hang out. The space itself is very unassuming. It’s a small spot, featuring two long tables with communal seating, so be prepared to get to know that awkward hook-up you just

bumped into. The bright red light is reminiscent of the Kenny Rogers chicken episode of “Seinfeld.” So now, we wait. Morton told me he hopes to even have a breakfast menu, with some sandwiches or other items that fit in with the rest of their concept. Until then, I’ll dream of waterfalls of vanilla milkshakes and trees filled with burgerfruit. But don’t worry any more, North Campus dwellers. Salvation, in the form of a delicious, hip burger bar, is coming. rohannadkarni2015@u.northwestern.edu

Love, circumstance and contention are braided into the fabric of “Aimee and Jaguar,” an original play gracing the Josephine Louis Theater stage this weekend. Lillian Groag’s original script spins the intimate relationship of Lilly Wust, a stark German whose husband is off fighting for the Nazi cause during the final days of World War II, and Felice Schragenheim, an unknowingly Jewish girl who is her opposite in ways deeper than Nazi-Jewish conflict. Here, director Joseph Hanreddy describes how he helped “Aimee and Jaguar” find its voice and tells The Current why we should all be listening.

The Current: Tell us about the plot of “Aimee and Jaguar.” Joseph Hanreddy: It’s a love story between two very different women and takes place in the last days of the Allied bombing attacks on Berlin in the last days of World War II. The central story and characters are taken from real people and events. Lilly Wust is a young hausfrau with four children and a husband fighting the Nazi cause. She meets Felice Schragenheim through her housekeeper ... and there’s an attraction that becomes a fierce and very dangerous love — in the course of which Lilly learns that Felice is Jewish. The

women are opposites in ways that go beyond being Aryan and Jewish. The play is really about the mysteries of attraction and how circumstances and timing have as much to do with bringing people together as do all the more romantic notions we carry about love. The Current: How does it differ from the film? JH: Both the German film directed by Max Farberbock and Lillian’s play are based on journalist Erica Fischer’s interviews with Elizabeth Wust when she was in her 80s. All are titled “Aimee and Jaguar,” the women’s favorite endearments to each other. The Current: Did you have any unexpected challenges in directing the play? JH: Well, more like a lot of expected challenges. It’s a new play, a complicated physical production with many different locations, several dance events (the cadre of lesbian girls at the center of the story are in love with American jazz), a large cast and a subject matter that requires visceral, passionate and yet very nuanced acting, all of which needs to be achieved around the theatre department’s very active production schedule and the students’ demanding academic schedule. It’s been an intense few weeks, but the spirit and commitment that the entire team has brought to the project has made it all very rewarding. The Current: How was your experience working with Northwestern students? JH: Northwestern is one of the premier theatre programs in the country, and the actors and the team of student set, costume and lighting designers are all extremely talented, focused and very generous of spirit with each other and with me. It’s been a privilege as well as a lot of fun to work with them. The Current: How does the play relate or appeal to NU students?

JH: I suggested “Aimee and Jaguar” to the theatre department because I thought it would be rewarding for the students to work on and for the campus community to see the premiere of a new play, as well as for the students to work on roles that are close to their own ages. The story is largely about the ordinary experiences of young adulthood — love relationships, dreams about what vocation to follow, a need to prove oneself — magnified several times over by living them in the life-and-death cauldron of the most horrific event in modern history. The Current: Did any of your past work prepare you for the work you did with “Aimee and Jaguar?” JH: Sure. All of it, I hope. One of the great rewards of working in the theater is the opportunity to completely immerse in a multiplicity of questions about the nature of life, social concerns, historical time periods, styles of literature and approaches to telling a story. In this case, I haven’t specifically worked on anything that involves the Holocaust, World War II or lesbian love. As far as specifically directing “Aimee and Jaguar,” Lillian first sent me a first draft about three years ago, and shortly after, we were given an opportunity to do a developmental workshop at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Lillian has also had a couple of readings at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. Over that time, she’s done several rewrites of the script, and I’ve remained engaged in her progress, refined my ideas about the play and how to best realize a production. We’re both very grateful to Northwestern for the opportunity to finally see the play in front of an audience. “Aimee and Jaguar” is playing at the Josephine Louis Theater from Jan. 31 to Feb. 9. It shows at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, as well as 2 p.m. Sunday. Tickets can be purchased on the Theatre and Interpretation Center’s website and cost $5 for NU students (or $10 at the door). Source: University Relations

Stuffed Bell Peppers

BENJAMIN KRAFT

It’s cold outside — I’m sure you’ve noticed — and leaving the dorm should require a better reason than eating whatever pizza and pasta the dining halls concoct for this week’s eating options. With a quick trip to Whole Foods or Jewel-Osco and a few pots and pans, it’s easy to make your own dinner in your dorm or apartment. This week, I took over the kitchen in Allison Hall to make this satisfying, hearty stuffed peppers dish. Deviating from the sea creature feature of the last two weeks’ salmon and tuna recipes, this dish involves a more robust beef, rice and vegetable combination. With a garlic, paprika and Worcestershire sauce (pronounced: “don’t-even-try”) seasoning for the pepper stuffing and the roasted vegetables, this dish could easily become a staple in the college diet. Though this dish is slightly more complicated and time intensive than the typical college amateur chef is generally willing to try, the compact, RECIPES COLUMNIST

NU Year, NU You: Beauty Tips MIRANDA LEON

LIFESTYLE COLUMNIST

With the new year comes new trends in fashion and beauty. This means it is time to move on from bold red lip color, little girl bows and ombre hair extensions. Move into 2014 with your best face forward by following these five key beauty tips and tricks. Say goodbye to the dry The battle to have moisturized skin during winter is almost always a lost one. However, there is one last option to exhaust: Apply a moisturizer, like coconut oil, to your skin before taking a shower. Applying coconut oil after is useless. In winter, our skin is drier because we typically take warm showers. The hot water washes away the layer of oil on the surface of our skin, rendering us frosty and flaky. Get out of my face This summer, I styled my hair with blunt bangs. I was about to start college, so I thought, why not try a fresh look? What could go wrong? Let me tell you: everything. It has been six months since I had them cut, and they are still in the awkward phase. Recently, I stumbled upon some great tips for growing them out: 1. Pin your bangs to the side with strong bobby pins. It turns out that there is such a thing as knock-off bobby pins. Stay away from those. Get (rid of) the most bang for your buck. 2. Try out hairstyles that flatter bangs. Wearing a headband is trendy this season (rest in peace hair bows), and it will hide your bangs as well. You can also sport the messy bun pictured. In my experience, this actually works best

if you have bangs. The bangs add volume and an untidy-in-a-good-way vibe to the bun. Simply secure your bangs underneath the bun. 3. Another remedy is to have your hair stylist thin them out. This will help you manage your bangs more easily. As a last resort, you can apply a hair growth supplement to your bangs. Leaf it up Whenever I want to add a little bit of shine to my mani, I usually embellish the nail of my ring finger with glitter. The beloved “party nail” lit up my world for about two years, but the time came to branch out. The copper leaf star manicure is the perfect way to spice up your mani-pedi game. Here’s how to do it: 1. Using nail scissors, cut out small star shapes from the gold sheet. Fold the sheet in two for symmetry. (Tip: You can find gold leafing paper from Blick Art Materials, 1755 Maple Ave.) 2. Paint a thin layer of clear polish onto the nail you want to accent. (Tip: Paint your nails black matte beforehand.) 3. Let the nail dry partially and then stick the star on with your tweezers or your fingers if you’re super careful. 4. After the nail has dried more, peel the backing off. Finish it with another clear coat.

Wash, rinse and repeat After a long night of studying, all you want to do is throw yourself onto your bed and fall asleep. Washing your face before bed is the last thing on your mind, but it’s pretty important, almost as big a deal as that test you were cramming for. Why? Nightly face washes may prevent wrinkles, dirt buildup, acne and dry skin. Treat washing your makeup off like homework. Set a daily time and abide by it. You can definitely afford at least a five-minute study break, and you will feel refreshed when you hit the books again. Be sure to select a face wash that contains moisturizer. Hats off to winter Fedoras, knitted beanies, cloche hats and plain baseball caps will simultaneously make you warmer and any ensemble cooler. Beware of over-accessorizing with hats and extra-long beanies that project a Dopey the dwarf from “Snow White” image. My personal favorite right now is the logo-less baseball cap. Wear it with a knit dress and cargo green jacket or jeans and a cardigan for a boyish twist on a girly outfit. This year get a-head fashionably: Put down your fur hood and put on a hat instead. mirandaleon2017@u.northwestern.edu

10. Using a large spoon, scoop divide the filling among the peppers. Set the stuffed peppers into the prepared pan, so they are evenly spaced and surrounded by sauce. Spread a spoonful of the remaining sauce over the top of each, to keep the filling moist, and cover the pan with aluminum foil. 11. Bake the peppers until they’re heated through, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle the tops with Parmesan. 12. Serve the peppers hot, in pools of tomato sauce. benjaminkraft2017@u.northwestern.edu

Pillow Talk: What your lingerie says about you LAKEN HOWARD SEX COLUMNIST @lakenisahorcrux

Lingerie: that really pretty stuff you see on display at the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and wish you could wear under your clothes every day to make you feel like a sex bomb. Or, it’s that really pretty stuff that will burst your wallet at the seams if you buy enough of it. I have to admit, although I am awed by its beauty, I don’t own a wardrobe full of lingerie. In fact, I own only two “sets,” one black and one red. Despite its ability to make you feel sexy, it’s hard to justify spending so much on something that will, if all goes well, come right off after you put it on. But whether or not you have money to blow, here’s a non-exhaustive list of lingerie styles and what they say about you: Black garter belt/stocking combo If this is your go-to style of lingerie, you’re definitely a classy lady (or maybe gentleman). You know that sometimes less is more, and you never underestimate simplicity. You’re well aware that the star of the lingerie is really you and your gorgeous body. Pairing this with a simple black push-up bra and thong will go far. Side note: I recently bought my first garter belt and stockings, and let me just say, those suckers are not easy to put on by yourself, which is unfortunate because it’s not likely you’ll be wearing one in a situation where a friend could help you get dressed. Animal print Maybe you’re stuck in 2008, or maybe you just really like cheetah print and think it enhances your natural beauty. Either way, animal print lingerie can definitely be sexy, but be careful not to cross that line into tacky or childish. Personally, I own at least two cheetah print thongs, but I by no means consider them my sexiest underwear. To really emphasize the sex appeal of your animal print panties, pair them with a solid black bra or make sure the bra is the same exact print. A sheer, black camisole top over a cheetah bra/thong combo is a sexy way to show off your inner playful sex kitten. Leather Just ... damn. If you own any sort of leather or pleather lingerie, you’re a hardcore bitch, and I respect that. I don’t think I could squeeze any part of my naked body into something leather and I don’t plan on trying anytime soon. This style of lingerie should not be taken lightly, and it shows a true devotion to your inner dominatrix. To soften this look, pair a leather bustier with a frilly black panty.

Miranda Leon/The Daily Northwestern

Pastels Clearly, pastel undies give off an ultra-feminine vibe. To make colors such as pink, purple or light blue sexy in addition to simply romantic, avoid busy prints. Instead, buy lacy bras or panties to add texture so it’s still feminine but looks more put together. There’s something inherently sexy about a girly matching bra and panty set, and knowing your underwear matches can make you feel confident and radiant all day, even if no one will see it but you. These are just a few examples of styles of lingerie you can rock. Again, the most important thing to wear in or out of the bedroom is confidence. Whether you’re dressing for yourself or for a partner, lingerie is a great way to show your personality and let your sexiness shine. Until next time, be safe and be sexy! lakenhoward2015@u.northwestern.edu

‘Hustle’ actors shine, but plot falls flat CHELSEA SHERLOCK movie columnist @musovogr

I’m beginning with the beginning. “American Hustle” opens with a 1970s looking Irving Rosenfeld, played by an overweight Christian Bale, going through an elaborate routine to perfect his combover. In the next scene, Bradley Cooper’s character, Richie DiMaso, rips the toupee off. This sets the tone for the movie. It’s clearly established that Irving thrives off the fake persona he creates. It is abundantly evident that a large part of the movie will be Irving and Richie fighting and struggling to work together. From that opening scene, the film takes off. It’s very fast paced with a lot of events occurring over the two plus hours. The movie kept me awake and engaged throughout. Each actor and actress fully embraced his or her role and delivered authentic performances. The plot was interesting, and the ‘70s era clothing was fantastic. Amy Adams and Christian Bale are radically different from past characters they have played, and their relationship is complicated and progressive for their time. I have two major criticisms about the movie. First, it gives almost every plot point away. Some

of the best movies are the ones where you get to the end and wonder how in the world they will resolve all the issues, and viewers are still guessing about the fate and true role of different characters. That is not the case in “American Hustle.” A lot of major plot points are revealed in blatant close ups or dialogue. Some of the excitement

was taken away because it was easy to guess most of what would happen, though it was still fun to see it unfold. The second issue was that the movie felt very similar in style, pacing and the performances of Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper to “Silver Linings Playbook.” This is probably because

Source: Facebook

David Russell directed and wrote both films. Cooper and Lawrence exhibit a lot of the same quirks and chemistry as they did as the leads in “Playbook.” Also, Amy Adams’ breasts are practically their own character. I get that Edith is supposed to be sexy and use her feminine wiles to help con people, but I would appreciate a little bit more coverage. It was a little hard to focus on the plot when my thoughts were occupied with the fact that she was dangerously close to a nip slip. The people around me were also definitely as distracted as I was, though most likely not for the same reasons. Overall, the movie is a fun watch, but I will be very surprised if it wins best picture at the Oscars. Outtakes: Bradley Cooper with small curlers in his hair is one of the most attractive yet disturbing sights I’ve seen of him. I spent a good five minutes not realizing that the actress playing Richie’s mom was a woman. Louis C.K. is a good actor. Hair can have a dramatic impact on a person’s attractiveness. I wish I were around in the ‘70s. chelseasherlock2017@u.northwestern.edu

Where are they now? Frankie Muniz erica witte

He was never one of those actors you had a crush on. You never ferociously tore out Tiger Beat photos of him to hang all over your bedroom wall. But even without Zac Efron looks, Frankie Muniz was a star. Whether you know and love him from “Big Fat Liar,” “Agent Cody Banks,” or “Malcolm in the Middle,” you know what I’m talking about; he was a comedic genius, super cool and worked with the best co-stars ever. Yes, I’m talking about you, Hilary Duff. Muniz hit it big from the beginning, scoring an Emmy nomination for “Malcolm in the Middle” at the mere age of 15. After the show ended its run in 2006, things fizzled a bit for Muniz. He started acting less and race car-driving more. And apparently, he’s actually pretty good at it. Nothing like a midlife crisis in your 20s. For you very few ladies out there who actually do have the hots for Frankie, I have bad news for you. In 2011, Muniz proposed to a columnist @ericawitte

woman named Elycia Marie Turnbow, although the wedding date is still unknown. So, I suppose, if you want to pull a cliche rom-com move, you might still have a chance. Our poor Frankie, however, has not been in great health. He has suffered two mini-strokes since December 2012, which, according to WebMD.com, are scientifically known as a transient ischemic attacks. I think I speak for everyone who has every cried tears of joy when Jason Shepherd busts Wolf in the amazing climax of “Big Fat Liar” when I say, feel better, Frankie. The world would be an emptier place without “Agent Cody Banks” and “Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London.” ericawitte2017@u.northwestern.edu

S a l on NU athletics recognizes archery club Rou l a By Huzaifa Patel

the daily northwestern @huzaifapatel95

­n{ǎÊÎÓnÂ‡Ăˆ££äĂŠUĂŠĂˆäĂŽĂŠ >Ă›ÂˆĂƒĂŠ-ĂŒ°

The Northwestern University Archery Club kicked off Wednesday night, conducting its first information session for prospective members. The new club describes itself as a co-ed club team dedicated to promoting archery. Joining the club requires no past experience with archery, so students from all skill levels are encouraged to join, said McCormick sophomore Kareem Youssef, a cofounder of the club. Youssef said the sport has two divisions, recreational and competitive, that align with the different backgrounds of archery. Club members that are new to the sport will be able to hone their skills as part of the recreational component of the club, which will start with basic target practice under the direction

of a range master, or archery coach. Meanwhile, the competitive archers will have more one-on-one, personal training. “We have our hands on a professional coach that is (US Collegiate Archery Association) certified, as well as multiple recreational coaches,� Youssef said. The club was certified by the NU administration earlier this month after a long process of gaining recognition as an official campus organization. Youssef said it took six months for the club to get recognized at NU, a requirement to obtain a grant from USCA. After unsuccessfully seeking recognition from Associated Student Government, the club turned to the athletic department, where they received official club status, Youssef said. Meetings will take place at Blomquist Recreation Center on Friday and Saturday evenings. Weinberg sophomore Varsha Venkat, a member of the club, said for recreational members, meetings will be laid-back training sessions. On the other hand, competitive

members will be expected to commit more time and effort. The group has struggled to acquire funding for equipment. Youssef said archery can be expensive but said he did not want that to discourage anyone from joining the club. The club received a grant for equipment from the USCA, which funds archery groups active on college campuses. Weinberg freshman Sherry Chiu, who attended the info session, said she was already anxious to start the first practice. “Doing archery has always been a dream of mine,� she said. “Over the winter, I finally got a chance to try it and I loved it.� At Wednesday’s meeting, Youssef stressed that the club is incredibly easy to join. Another information session is scheduled for Thursday. “All you need is interest and motivation,� he said. huzaifapatel2017@u.northwestern.edu

A new grocer is negotiating with Safeway to move into a Green Bay Road building that previously housed a Dominick’s store. Paul Zalmezak, Evanston’s economic development coordinator, updated Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl’s grocery store working group at the group’s first meeting Wednesday. The committee was established to address two retail spaces — 2748 Green Bay Rd. and 1910 Dempster St. — left vacant after Dominick’s left the Chicago area last month.

From page 1 of the person of interest. Arrests have been made in Evanston’s two most recent slayings. Police identified Kevin Ross as a person of interest in the shooting deaths of Azim and Mobeen Hakeem, brothers who were found in July shot to death inside their downtown business. Ross was fatally shot by police in December following a bank robbery. Shortly after, officers identified him as a person of interest in the brothers’ deaths. The department’s clearance rate for 2012 deaths was a source of community tension last year, when some community members criticized police for failing to solve homicides in the city. During a

The group discussed the uncertain future for the two spaces and initiatives to attract potential grocers to Evanston. Zalmezak said a grocer was currently negotiating with Safeway, which owned Dominick’s, and the Green Bay Road property owner to potentially take over the Pleasanton, Calif.-based company’s lease. Zalmezak said he was unable to disclose specifics on the potential deal. Safeway was also reluctant to share information, he said. “We’re trying to be sensitive to the ongoing negotiations, which we literally have no control over,� Zalmezak added. “It’s a Safeway process.� The group also discussed Evanston Plaza shopping center, where Evanston’s other Dominick’s

was located. An independent grocer from the Centrella co-op will likely fill the former Dominick’s location on Dempster Street, Zalmezak said. Centrella, or Central Grocers, Inc., is a grocery cooperative of local independent grocers, according to its website. Evanston Plaza has multiple vacant lots. Scott Inbinder, principal of the group which owns Evanston Plaza, said several potential retailers backed out of moving into Evanston Plaza after the Dominick’s closure was announced. He predicted a new grocer would help attract other retailers to the center.

community meeting in April, families of victims expressed their frustration with Evanston police. An anonymous question submitted to police during the meeting asked, “Why does it feel as if the EPD could care less about solving a murder or keeping in contact with the families?� Last year’s improved clearance rate, however, has not fully repaired relations between police and the community. The Hakeem family has consistently criticized the way police have conducted the investigation into the brothers’ deaths. After police identified Ross as a person of interest, Farheen Hakeem, sister of Azim and Mobeen, said she doubted the validity of the department’s claims. “Our family will continue to be vocal of how this investigation has been conducted poorly,� Farheen Hakeem said in a news release.

Carolyn Murray, mother of slain 19-year-old Justin Murray has also voiced frustration with the investigation into her son’s death. Justin was gunned down in November 2012. Although relations with victims’ families remain tense, police have increased their general outreach in the community, with increased communication initiatives and a mentoring program with teens at Evanston Township High School, 1600 Dodge Ave., which Parrott discussed Monday. He cited this as one of the reasons for the crime drop. “The public is more involved and the police department is more engaged with the community,� Parrott said.

Q&A: Grad student who inspired Colter Cats prep for By rohan nadkarni

daily senior staffer @Rohan_NU

On Tuesday, Yahoo! Sports reported senior quarterback Kain Colter took a class titled “Field Studies in the Modern Workplace� which sparked his interest in unions. The Daily caught up over email with Nick Dorzweiler, the Ph.D. candidate in political theory who taught the course, to ask him about its themes and how it relates to Colter’s leadership in the effort to get NU’s players represented by a union. The Daily Northwestern: Can you give me a basic overview of your course? What’s it about? What exactly is a Chicago Field Study? Nick Dorzweiler: Chicago Field Studies is the largest academic internship program at Northwestern. Students accepted into the program intern in a range of professional and civic fields, from nonprofit and community organizations to business and law. But while they’re interning, students also take CFS courses on the Evanston campus that connect seminar readings and discussions with the internship’s work, organizational culture and current issues. CFS offers several different classes, including Business Field Studies, Field Studies in Civic Engagement, and so on. My course, Field Studies in the Modern Workplace, is one of these courses. My particular class explores the social and political history of work as an experience in the United States, beginning with the rise of industrial labor in the late nineteenth century and going through to our service-based, white-collar economy of today. The point is to get students to reflect on what working means to them personally, how it affects their development as both human beings and citizens, and why our culture associates certain social and political values with work, but not others. The Daily: What was your reaction when you saw that you were mentioned in the Yahoo story? Do you remember the interaction they mentioned at all? Would you like to clear up any misconceptions? Dorzweiler: It was a surprise to be mentioned in Kain’s story, if only because I am a dissertation candidate working in the small sub-discipline of

political theory. That’s not a big media draw. Anyway, look: Kain is a smart, thoughtful student who took the aims of my course to heart, as do most of the students I get the opportunity to teach. I believe that a successful educational experience is one in which we find ways to articulate hopes, concerns, and potential we may not have known we had. So what one does in class should, ideally, fundamentally shape the way you approach the world around you. Of course, Kain was already thinking about the status of student-athletes before he set foot into my classroom. Still, I would be very pleased if he felt my course helped him in any way pursue his beliefs and passions. The work and research he did for class assignments — and the effect that work had on his life outside the classroom — affirms my belief in the very real importance of a liberal arts education. He taught me a lot. The Daily: Obviously, your class is called Modern Workplace culture, is there an ultimate point that you have about that culture? Does your class teach that it is a certain way? Dorzweiler: I wouldn’t say my course, Field Studies in the Modern Workplace, has an ultimate point about what work should be. If anything, the

course teaches that the social and political values we associate with work have been in constant flux over the past 150 years. So the point is not to show that work “is� one way or another, but rather that they are entering a field of culture that is always in flux. As such, students have a very real role to play in strengthening or changing the world of work they’re about to enter. The Daily: I know you said the class is not about unions, but what knowledge do you have of unions? You may not know much about the whole studentathlete situation right now, but could you see unions benefitting that group of people in any way? Dorzweiler: I’ll let Kain continue speaking on the issue of student-athlete unions, he’s been a very articulate spokesperson so far. It’s a fascinating issue that Kain taught me a lot about. I will say this: sports is not merely entertainment, it’s also big business and big politics. Sports perform important functions in our culture, and I’m happy to see discussions like this come to the fore. They’re important, and I applaud Kain and his teammates for starting one. rohannadkarni2015@u.northwestern.edu

Notre Dame will host Northwestern and Iowa in South Bend, Ind., this weekend for two days of fierce prelims and final competition. The Hawkeyes are a close rival of the Wildcats, having claimed narrow victories the past two seasons. NU placed higher at last year’s Big Ten Championships, ranking eighth while Iowa came in 10th. Sophomore Ellen Anderson remains optimistic for the weekend, despite the team’s inconsistent performance this season. She said January can often be a difficult month, coming off of Winter Break and the team’s annual training trip. But the freestyler thought the Cats put in a lot of effort in the last few weekends, losing only in cases of close final scores. Anderson also said the season is quickly coming to a close, with everyone “looking to practice getting into that championship race mode.� The sophomore said there is little time to focus on the past. Practices are already changing to prep the team for the championship contest. Anderson, a distance swimmer slated to race the 200, 500 and 1650-yard freestyle both this weekend and at the Big Tens, said the volume of work in practices has yet to decrease. However, the team looks forward to the practices leading up to Big Tens, which include decreased yardage but greater technique work. This weekend’s Shamrock Invitational is NU’s last chance to swim competitively before the conference championships. Freshman Lauren Abruzzo said the team is excited for its upcoming challenges. “The meet tomorrow is a stepping stone to champs,� Abruzzo said. “Everything about this week gets us even more fired up.� kendramayer2017@u.northwestern.edu

Cats grab first win in Madison since ‘96 Northwestern

By ALEX PUTTERMAN

daily senior staffer @AlexPutt02

Against a ranked team. On the road. In a building where they had never won. Northwestern 65, Wisconsin 56. Seemingly long odds didn’t hold back the Wildcats (11-11, 4-5 Big Ten), as they upset the No. 13 Badgers (17-4, 4-4) on Wednesday in Madison for NU’s first-ever victory in the 16-year-old Kohl Center. “I’m just smiling because I’m so proud of this group,” coach Chris Collins told WGN Radio after the game. Forward Drew Crawford turned in one of the best games of his career. The senior scored a season-high 30 points on 10-of-15 shooting and hit several clutch buckets for the Cats as they pulled away in the second half. NU trailed by a point at halftime and was still behind by 3 midway through the second half when Crawford nailed a game-tying 3-pointer. That sparked a 23-5 run, during which Crawford scored 14 points. “Drew Crawford was a star tonight,” Collins said. “He did what a senior star player should do on the road.” The Cats struggled to break the Badgers’ full-court press and saw their lead creep back to single digits but eventually held on to win. As has been the case in recent weeks, NU’s defense was impressively sturdy. Wisconsin shot 26.3 percent from the field, making only 15 total field goals on the night. The difference for the Cats was on offense. All season, the team has posted shooting percentages in the mid-30s, struggled to produce good looks and often missed them when they became available. Wednesday was different. NU

No. 13 Wisconsin

shot 47.9 percent from the field and 43.8 percent from behind the arc. In the second half particularly, jump shots fell in a way they rarely had this season. Crawford made three 3-pointers, junior guard JerShon Cobb drilled two more, sophomore guard Tre Demps hit several important jumpers, and even sophomore center Alex Olah joined in, sinking just his third 3 of the season. “We finally had that half we were talking about where we could knock some shots down,” Collins said. “And I’m glad we did because we needed every one of them.” The Cats got contributions on both sides from all over. Freshman forward Sanjay Lumpkin pulled down 12 rebounds, and senior forward Nikola Cerina chipped in with 6 points — all in the first half — tying his season high. Point guard Dave Sobolewski did not play at all Wednesday, even as NU faltered against the defensive press. The junior had missed four games with a concussion before returning Saturday against Iowa, and it was unclear whether his absence was due to lingering effects of the injury or poor play. Ben Brust led the Badgers with 21 points, but NU’s defense neutralized several of Wisconsin’s star players. Forwards Sam Dekker and Frank Kaminsky — who average a combined 27.6 points per game — totaled just 19, on 5-of-18 shooting. Crawford, who pulled down eight rebounds in addition to his huge scoring total, was relieved when the effort was finally over and, of course, thrilled to return to Evanston with a victory.

Youthful Northwestern may finally meet its match Thursday. The Wildcats (13-7, 3-4 Big Ten) will hit the road to face the Indiana Hoosiers (15-5, 2-5) and their freshman sensation Larryn Brooks.

She only recorded six minutes against Nebraska. However, in her case, McKeown preferred quality over quantity. “She gave us a great spark at the end of the first half,” McKeown said. “I’m really proud of her. ... Seniors, every day, give us a little shot in the arm leadership-wise.” With that experience in tow, McKeown and his team are confident they’ll be able to contain Brooks and her dynamic scoring abilities. “It’s going to take an awareness of not letting her play to her strengths,” McKeown said. “She’s really quick, really fast, steps back, shoots threes, gets to the rim, so she’s having a great year for (Indiana). ... It’s going to take everybody to just be aware of the things that she does really well.” Even if Brooks is slowed down, the game is likely to be a close one with the Cats and Hoosiers having very similar offenses and defenses in terms of points scored and points allowed per game. NU has staked quite a claim to the nickname “Cardiac Cats” with a number of close contests this year, but McKeown believes his team plays its best when games go down to the wire. “We’re starting to execute a little better the last couple minutes of the game,” he said. “I think that’s been a growth area for us. ... We’re getting better at doing what we want to do at the end of a game.” robertpillote2017@u.northwestern.edu

NEARLY 18 YEARS IN THE MAKING Senior guard Drew Crawford pulls in one of eight rebounds the veteran nabbed in Northwestern’s 65-56 victory at Wisconsin on Wednesday night. Crawford’s team-leading 30 points was a season high for the senior.

“The whole 40 minutes you fight as hard as you can,” Crawford told WGN. “It’s exhausting. You’re diving on the court, getting banged up, and when you can grab the ball after the game and know that you pulled out the win, it’s a great feeling.”

The victory was the Cats’ fourth in their last six games and their second against a ranked opponent during that stretch. It was NU’s first at Wisconsin since Feb. 21, 1996. asputt@u.northwestern.edu

NU taps vets to overcome young Indiana Northwestern vs. Indiana

NU hosts nation’s top teams After road trips that took the team to both coasts, Northwestern finally gets to fight on its home turf this weekend at the NU Duals. Coach Laurie Schiller feels confident. “I feel like we should be going at least 9-1 this weekend,” he said. The No. 7 Wildcats (23-4) are coming off a disappointing outing back east, where they went 7-4 with close losses to Columbia and Temple. Schiller felt both matches were winnaWe focused ble, had the in practice on team given little extra just getting that apush. extra touch, “We focused in making that practice on extra little action just getting that extra that makes makthe difference touch, ing that between wining extra little action that and losing. makes the Laurie Schiller, difference coach between winning and losing,” he said. At the NU Duals, the Cats will face ten opponents: UC San Diego, No. 9 Temple, No. 8 Penn, Duke, Caltech and Tufts on Saturday; and Farleigh Dickinson, North Carolina, No. 1 Princeton and Lawrence on Sunday. Schiller said he particularly looks forward to his team facing off against Princeton, Temple, Penn and Duke. Although he thinks beating the No. 1 Tigers will be tough, the coach expects wins versus the other three competitors. NU was inconsistent against Penn and Temple last weekend. The Cats conquered the hometown Quakers by a touch — a 14-13 victory — and Penn is looking to settle the score in Evanston. Meanwhile, NU lost a 15-12 heartbreaker to Temple and will be out for revenge Saturday. Duke also presents a challenge for the Cats. The Blue Devils are one of NU’s biggest rivals, and last year topped Schiller’s club for the first time in years. Although hosting one of the largest fencing meets in the country comes with a lot of preparation work for Schiller, playing host has its advantages, too. Schiller gets to create the schedule and has set the harder matches later for his team so it gets a warm-up. “When we were at NYU, we had Columbia right away off the bat, which is someone I’d rather not fence first,” he said. Schiller said he does not think there is much home-field advantage in fencing or much added pressure from hosting, but he said it’s nice to not have to travel between different cities in one weekend. Another advantage of being home is that more fencers may get to compete. Some of the younger players who were not on the travel squad may see action this weekend. Nearly half of the team is freshmen, so the weekend will offer an opportunity for Schiller to evaluate his newer players.

That seemed to be the case Sunday when Lyon played all 40 minutes against Nebraska. She only produced 5 points and five rebounds, but McKeown still found her to be a vital ingredient in his recipe for success. “(Lyon) is so explosive as a player,” McKeown said. “At any time, she could just go out and get you six, eight, 10 straight points.” Senior guard La’Terria Taylor has also seen some important playing time of late. The co-captain didn’t play at all her first two seasons at NU but has since become a valuable source of leadership on the court.
