Socioeconomic diversity studied NU prof, student research academic confidence in low-income students By STAVROS AGORAKIS

Geiger declined to comment as negotiations continue. Employees currently work 37.5 hours without the possibility to work overtime, Davis said. Employees are understaffed and overworked, according to a petition written by student activists in November that advocated for better working conditions.. “We will continue to fight for a fair contract,”
Amanda Walsh said she is continually surprised to hear from seniors who, in their four years at Northwestern, were unaware of the challenges students with a low socioeconomic status face in college. Walsh, president of the NU Quest Scholars Network, said low-income students face daily challenges to fit in. “It is much less likely for a student who has low income to be able to participate in activities and to explore the curriculum that will allow them to develop as a student leader as quickly as some other students might be able to do,” the Communication senior said. A recent study by SESP Prof. Mesmin Destin and graduate student Alexander Browman found messages and attitudes toward socioeconomic diversity affect academic confidence. Students in the experiment were presented with either “warm” statements, emphasizing the school’s ability to support students with financial need, or “chilly” statements, framing the school as serving wealthier students.

delays, the University said. Additionally, the University asked pedestrians to limit crossing to designated crosswalks with traffic signals, as the fencing and limited visibility caused by construction vehicles will make crossing elsewhere more difficult. Shuttle service will continue to follow normal routes with the exception of Wednesday, Jan. 27, when pickup for the Patten Gym stop will be relocated across Lincoln Street to the northeast corner of Lincoln Street and Sheridan Road. Shuttle riders should anticipate delays due to construction, the University said.

Students joined a march down Sheridan Road on Friday to demand better treatment for Northwestern food service workers. The rally, organized by the food service workers and attended by more than 80 people, began at The
Arch and continued along Sheridan to Haven Street, where workers talked about their demands with Erich Geiger, district manager for Northwestern Dining. NU food service workers, who are contracted by the food distribution company Sodexo, are negotiating for the ability to work 40 hours per week, a more manageable workload, fair raises and more respect, Melvin Davis, a cook with NU Dining, told The Daily.
Medill prof talks documentary ‘Saving Mes Aynak’ explores work to save artifacts in Afghanistan By MADELINE FOX
daily senior staffer @maddycfox
Poring over National Geographic magazines and dreaming of adventure while growing up in small-town Ohio, Medill Prof. Brent Huff man never imagined he would be making repeated trips into Taliban-controlled Afghanistan to chronicle Afghan archaeologists’ race against time — but beginning in the summer of 2011, he did just that. The documentary filmmaker spent a year and a half traveling in and out of the country to cover the excavation of Mes Aynak, an ancient Buddhist city near the Pakistan border that has been purchased by a Chinese mining company for its wealth of copper. Huffman filmed the documentary, which followed the archaeologists working to save some of Mes Aynak’s artifacts before mining begins, over the course of a year and a half, all done in five or six trips of two to three weeks to the archaeological site.
“Looking back, it was a very ‘Indiana Jones’ sort of experience,” Huffman said. “It was really dangerous to go out there, but I felt the risk was worth it.” The risk did pay off for Huffman. His film, “Saving Mes Aynak, won a $50,000 grant from The Reva and David Logan Foundation earlier this month, and was picked up by international distributor Icarus Films. Getting it to this point, though, was a challenge, Huffman said. Setting out with a grant from the Buffett Institute and without a crew — he said he didn’t want to put other people at risk — Huffman joined up with a local “fixer,” someone who spoke the language and understood the customs, and began filming in June 2011. Working without a crew, however, had challenges beyond simply the logistical. “When you’re a crew of one, you feel that obligation and that pressure to get the story out there,” Huffman said. “If I was killed, the story would die too. There’s no one who’s going to pick up that story and finish it.” Telling stories, particularly about people or issues he says are often ignored or misrepresented in the media, has always been one of Huffman’s passions. One of his first forays into filmmaking was a documentary

Growing up in the “one-stoplight, really tiny middle-of-nowhere, surrounded-by-Amish-country” town of Spencer, Ohio, Huffman said he was always more of an outsider, which drew him to stories about other outsiders, particularly marginalized and oppressed cultures in the U.S. and abroad. He said he was interested in film while he was growing up, and his National Geographic subscription fueled fantasies of traveling and having adventures beyond his hometown. After high school, he pursued his interests with majors in documentary filmmaking and anthropology at Antioch University in Ohio, which he capped off with a master’s degree in journalism with a documentary focus at the University of California-Berkeley. “I loved art and was really interested in anthropology — and still am — and documentary filmmaking really combined all of that for me,” he said. “It allowed me to become a » See HUFFMAN, page 6

Around Town Local diaper pantry awarded $2,500 By DARIA LENDERMAN
the daily northwestern @lend_er_man
A local diaper pantry was awarded a $2,500 grant earlier this month for its work distributing diapers to families in need. Evanston’s Bundled Blessings was one of 25 organizations to be awarded the $2,500 grant from the advocacy organization National Diaper Bank Network to support the diaper pantry’s work. Additionally, the National Diaper Bank Network awarded $10,000 to four more diaper banks in the country. The National Diaper Bank Network aims to eliminate diaper need through a nationwide network of individual organizations. The group was formed in 2010 with the intention of raising awareness of diaper need and distributing needed resources. Today, the charity works alongside more than 275 diaper banks in the U.S., among them Bundled Blessings. Based out of First United Methodist Church, 516 Church St., Bundled Blessings began in September 2013 and has grown to provide diapers for upwards of 150 children in the Evanston area. The organization works through a network of six

agencies that help distribute the diapers to local families. “The need for diapers is something that I don’t think any of us understood until we started doing research before we started doing Bundled Blessings,” said Sue Hagedorn, who serves on the organization’s committee. Bundled Blessings seeks to end diaper need in the Evanston community, Hagedorn said. Insufficient access to diapers is an issue that affects one in three American families, and that statistic holds true for the Evanston community as well, she said. Susan Van Ness, director of programs for National Diaper Bank Network, said the grants are meant to help diaper banks grow and achieve long-term goals. Any member of the national network was eligible to apply for the grants, she said. “What we wanted to do was invest in organizations that we knew were demonstrating sound business practices and the best non-profit business practices,” Van Ness said. “In the case of Bundled Blessings, the strategy in their proposal was to use the funds to raise visibility about diaper need in the community and about the work that the diaper bank does.” Although they don’t directly interact with the families they affect, Hagedorn said members still have a sense of the benefits of their organization. The woman had minor facial injuries and did not go to a hospital, Polinski said.
A 35-year-old Evanston woman reported she was punched in the mouth Thursday afternoon following a dispute with an acquaintance over a money loan, police said. The woman told police she happened upon the acquaintance, a 40-year-old Evanston woman, in the 1700 block of Dodge Avenue at approximately 12:05 p.m., said Evanston Police Department spokesman Perry Polinski. The women began to argue and, ultimately, the altercation turned physical, Polinski added.

A 37-year-old Evanston woman noticed Thursday night a bicycle and computer were missing from her garage in the 1300 block of Dewey Avenue, police said. The woman told police she did not know when the items — which were valued at approximately $1600 — could have been taken, Polinski said. The woman believed the garage had been unlocked, Polinski said. — Jeremy Margolis
“I realize we’re touching people that we don’t get that one-on-one contact (with), we hear it through agencies that say how grateful they are,” she said. Although the grant money cannot be used in the direct purchase of diapers, it is a major development in boosting Bundled Blessings’ exposure, Bundled Blessings co-chair Diane Pieterse said. Allowable expenses include technological support, printing materials, diaper collection bins and transportation costs, according to the National Diaper Bank Network’s website. “It’s huge because we assure any donations that are made to our diaper pantry, 100 percent of those financial donations go to the purchase of diapers,” Pieterse said. “We have really not had a budget that has made it possible for us to do a lot of printing marketing materials.” With this grant, the Bundled Blessings organization has more support financially as it continues to combat diaper need in the Evanston community. “We want to get that message out to people, as to why there is such a need for diapers, and the fact that there is need in Evanston for this service,” Pieterse said. darialenderman2019@u.northwestern.edu
Setting the record straight An article in Thursday’s paper titled “ASG supports Asian-American studies major” miscategorized changes to rules committee policies as changes to the ASG code.

On Campus January Jamboree
Photos by Sophie Mann/Daily Senior Staffer
More than 600 students gathered at Norris University Center on Sunday for food and festivities at the first January Jamboree. Organized by Deering Days, Student Organizations and Activities, Norris Event Management, Northwestern Relay For Life and Sheridan Road Records, JanJam’s programming included horse carriage rides, arcade games, an oxygen bar and free ice skating. Sheridan Road Records hosted an Open Mic at the Norris Starbucks, and Relay for Life hosted an ice cream sundae bar with proceeds going to their event.
JanJam was organized to relieve stress and revive an old NU tradition that had gone out of style, said SESP junior Bella Sandoval, co-president of Deering Days. “Deering Days is committed to putting on accessible and inclusive campus-wide events with the lowest barriers of entry,” Sandoval said. “The winter carnival has actually been a long running tradition at Northwestern. … We wanted to provide fun and quirky things to relieve stress.” — Matthew Choi

Changes to the college admissions process needed YOUSUF KADIR
DAILY COLUMNIST
“Shoot.” I’m a spring semester junior in high school and I just opened a letter in the mail. I see that I got a 28 on my first ACT. I thought my life was a failure. Northwestern had always been my dream school, but everyone from my high school who got in the past five years always had a 32 or above. I had only one more opportunity to bring my ACT to the level of the “accepted” data points on my high school’s Naviance charts. I got down to it and studied a bit harder for the second time, eventually ending up with my goal score. Given my credentials, I had a 75 percent chance of an early admission acceptance to NU according to the people of
College Confidential and the data analysis of Parchment. On Dec. 12, 2013 I received the good news. I was thrilled by my acceptance, but I couldn’t help discuss with my college counselor the reason why I got into NU. It was only because I was able to read a bit faster and answer a few more questions right on a test that made my application stronger. I was still the same Yousuf. I wasn’t any smarter than when I first took the ACT two months earlier. I still had the same interests, friends and knowledge. I would do just as well as I am doing now at Northwestern had I gotten in with my 28 ACT score. But, somehow I managed to bring my chances of acceptance from 5 percent to 75 percent by getting a few more questions right on a standardized test. Harvard University, along with a coalition from many other colleges and universities including University of Pennsylvania, University of Chicago and University of Michigan recently endorsed a report that called
for changing the college admissions process. Their recommendations include a proposal to make the ACT and SAT optional. No administrator from Northwestern had endorsed the coalition as of Jan. 23, 2016. I absolutely, wholeheartedly agree with some form of universal change addressing these issues in the college admissions process. The overall collegiate experience has changed and an emphasis on academic pressure and competition dominate Northwestern and other Ivy League caliber schools’ admissions process. 50 years ago, there was not as much competition to get into college. This generation has experienced the most competitive college process. Northwestern’s acceptance rate has dropped to about 13 percent in 2015 from about 43 percent just 13 years earlier. Many other schools follow this same trend as well. With the excess competition, ACT and SAT scores became as important as college essays, since college applications are at an all time
high. I believe an unweighted GPA over the course of four years of high school is a much better indicator of academic intelligence than a four hour long test. Colleges should place more emphasis on essays and extracurricular activities, which are more important factors to consider. After all, they are the skills a student will bring to campus to help make it a better place. Coming off of my experience, I believe NU should follow the report’s recommendations and make the SAT and ACT optional in the college application process. There are more important reasons to let a student into Northwestern than doing well on one specific test. Yousuf Kadir is a Weinberg sophomore.

How political criticism condescends young people JESSICA SCHWALB
DAILY COLUMNIST
The latest in political fashion has made its way to Northwestern: posters, hats and laptop stickers reading “Bernie 2016.” As one of the Democratic candidates for president, Bernie Sanders moved from relative national obscurity to prominence in key primary swing states such as New Hampshire and Iowa, but party leadership has seemed to unwaveringly maintain Hillary Clinton’s legitimacy as the party’s nominee. Sanders has not received the same primetime media attention (at least not until recently), but he is polling particularly well among college students and the 18- to 24-year-old demographic due to policies aimed at eliminating student debt, raising the minimum wage and taking on the political elite on Wall Street, among other socially liberal views on abortion, LGBT rights and criminal justice reform. But Sanders boasts little foreign policy experience and seems to lack Clinton’s political prowess for compromise and implementation of the grand “political revolution” about which he preaches. Thus, young liberals like myself are left with
a difficult choice: between the aspirational and the practical, and the heart and the head, so to speak. I am a firm believer that while our youth and naivete remain, we should vote with our hearts — for the candidates we truly believe can and will make our country a better place — and not with our heads — for those we think can win. Many students on campus who don the Bernie hat or sticker, young or old, explain the excitement they feel about While our Sanders in a way that had been missing from youth and political lives naivete remain, their before; they believe we should vote Sanders can make with our hearts. a real change to the nature of politics itself. Particularly telling is the condescension of Sanders’ campaign by media, Democratic leadership and even my parents. Their dismissal of his candidacy serves to alienate the very supporters who he is polling best with. Sanders’ popularity draws on a growing dissatisfaction among those who feel their government is not serving their interests. The current political climate — characterized by a glut of money in politics after the 2010 Citizens United v. FEC decision, growing income inequality
“
and student debt, and constant stories of police brutality targeting unarmed black teens with few indictments — seems to ache for the kind of “political revolution” Sanders speaks of. Dismissing Sanders’ call for a “political revolution” denies the reality that a large swath of Americans seeks the kinds of fundamental changes to democracy he preaches. That this dismissal comes largely from an older generation alienates young people from a political process with which they already feel disenchanted. Yet, Sanders’ problem is the same one his supporters face. He succinctly articulates the fundamental issues facing our country and calls for radical change. But like many of us young people, he is particularly good at identifying problems and less so at describing the answers. We get really good at defining what it is we don’t like but have a harder time articulating solutions, let alone detailing the possibilities for compromise with a gridlocked legislature. These are all perfectly legitimate concerns for Sanders’ candidacy, but they are often articulated in an overly dismissive tone featuring more eye rolling than necessary. Condescension of Sanders undermines both his legitimate dissatisfaction with the political process and his supporters who are often undervalued in politics today: young
Focus on your relationship with yourself JULIA COHEN
DAILY COLUMNIST
Many of us began Winter Quarter with high hopes. New schedules. New sorority and fraternity pledge classes. New excuses to go to Fran’s Cafe and order a milkshake at 1:55 a.m. The beginning of each quarter brings so much potential, and as Winter Quarter drags along, much of that potential may seem unrealized. One part of that is the potential for new romantic relationships. I cannot begin to count the amount of times I’ve heard from people of all different genders and sexual orientations that they want a significant other. This isn’t just a Northwestern thing — in a survey done by New York University sociologist Paula England looking at 21 colleges and universities, 61 percent of men and 68 percent of women want their hook-ups to turn into something more. Now, if you really like someone, that’s awesome. Go for it. But the next time you’re daydreaming about wanting a boyfriend or girlfriend in general, stop and ask yourself a question: Who is it you want to be in a relationship with? If you don’t have the answer to this question, then you don’t want a relationship. You want something else that you think being in a relationship is going to give you.
If you couldn’t answer the “who” question, then you are probably thinking of some imaginary, ideal relationship figure thing that doesn’t actually exist. But people aren’t imaginary ideal relationship figure things. They are just like you: lovely flawed human beings. If you put the idea of a significant other on a pedestal, then you’re always going to be disappointed. First, if you’re pulling at strings to find a boyfriend or girlfriend, you’re probably going to end up settling. There is a huge difference between a person and the right person. The right person is going to find you when you are able to be your most natural, authentic self. But if you’re hung up on finding a boyfriend or girlfriend, you’re probably not your natural, authentic self. You’re trying and pushing to get someone to be attracted to you, and all that leaves you is feeling forced and fake. Second, if you do find someone who just helps to fill the void of being single, you’re only going to be disappointed. They aren’t going to give you what you want because they’re probably not the person for you. What you want doesn’t even come from the right person; what you want comes from deep within you. This gets to the important part: Why people say they want relationships. I’ve heard a few answers from friends: They want companionship, they want the security of someone always being there, they want to feel loved. But companionship, security and love aren’t things that come automatically in
a relationship. They take time to build and the right person to build it with. More importantly, all of these wants don’t trace back to another person — they go back to the problems that you may see in yourself. People want companionship because they feel alone or like they need someone to boost them up. If you want the security of a relationship, odds are it’s because you don’t feel secure in your non-romantic relationships now. Being in a relationship is never going to solve any of these problems because they are problems that you have to work out within yourself and your other interpersonal relationships. The next time you’re stuck in your room and there’s three feet of snow outside and you just want someone to “Netflix and chill” with, don’t sit and wish for someone to come along. Don’t feel like there’s something wrong with you to be sad about, because there isn’t. There is something wrong with forcing a facade to find love. You are so lucky in so many ways: You’re here, at NU, with a roof over your head and an incredible education. You are not #foreveralone. You are forever with yourself, and that is the relationship you should be nurturing. Julia Cohen is a SESP sophomore. She can be reached at juliacohen2017@u.northwestern.edu.

people, people of color and those using social media. These groups aren’t the largest political donors and do not turn out to vote as consistently as old white men. This political apathy is a symptom of the problem, however, not the thing to be condescended itself. It is hardly appealing to vote in a gridlocked, partisan-polarized, super-PAC-driven and wildly unequal system. But in this election, let’s not play into the societal assumptions about young people. Pundits and parents alike expect us to discuss problems and not productivity and to resort to the apathy that keeps politics unaccountable. Although older generations should respect our political excitement, we, as young people, should continue our political engagement and excitement beyond the Sanders campaign. Bernie Sanders has captured both the disillusionment and the hope of young people, which are vital for this election — and not just for Democrats — if we truly want to make our electorate more active and our government more accountable.

Art exhibit celebrating Black History Month to open at local arts center

From page 1 Davis told The Daily. “We will continue to fight for a fair raise and continue to fight for our 40 hours and continue to fight for decent workloads.” The results of the negotiation with Geiger, which took place outdoors on the sidewalk on Haven Street, were inconclusive, Davis said. “(Geiger is) saying we have too much on the table,” Davis said “He’s basically saying as soon as we begin to take something off the table, then we can get our proposal down.”
MONDAY, JANUARY 25, 2016 among them Rev. Dr. Michael Nabors of Second Baptist Church of Evanston and Ra Joy, executive director of Change Illinois, the city announced in a news release. There will also be spoken word and music performances, as well as a performance from the Fleetwood-Jourdain Theatre’s Pop Up Theatre ensemble, according to the release. The exhibit will run until the end of February.
They expect to renegotiate on Feb. 22, Davis said. “On that day, hopefully we will have something better than what they offer now,” he said. The march was also a time for NU students to express support for NU Dining workers. Unified under common chants of “What do we want? Respect! When do we want it? Now!”, workers and students hugged and marched together. “We’re here for you guys, so thank you for being here for us,” said an employee with NU Dining present at the event. The march follows a similar protest during Fall Quarter when more than 50 students delivered
a petition to Sodexo and University administrators, including Julie Payne-Kirchmeier, associate vice president for student affairs. That petition, which was signed by more than 1,000 people, also criticized alleged disrespectful behavior from Sodexo supervisors toward dining staff. Communication sophomore Samuel Shapiro expressed his support for dining staff, many of whom he now knows personally, he said. “I have tons of respect for the work these men and women do on our behalf,” Shapiro said. “But I don’t think Sodexo does.”

The next six years, which also included the birth of his two children, would see this one idea from a The New York Times article grow into an hour-long film with nearly 100,000 Facebook fans and screenings across the globe. “At great personal cost and risk he went and filmed in an area of the world that not many people go to When to film in,” said Tim you’re a crew Horsburgh, director of communications and of one, you feel distribution at Karthat obligation temquin Films. “(The film’s online following) and pressure to is really a testament to get the story out Brent recognizing that there. this is an issue people would be passionate Brent Huffman, about and sticking Medill prof.essor with it.” and filmmaker Huffman himself is very passionate about Mes Aynak. While the film is finished, he said his work is not. Although the film “doesn’t end with bullet points saying this is what should happen,” his ultimate goal in making the film is to permanently prevent mining at Mes Aynak so it can be preserved and explored. “Making a film, telling this complete story that has an emotional impact — when you cry at a film, it ceases to be just this point of entertainment,” Huffman said. “Emotion can drive energy and be a catalyst for change.”
were then asked about how they saw themselves in their respective college communities. Browman said different conditions did not have any significant effect on higher-income students. However, low-income students showed greater levels of academic expectations and identified more strongly as being high achievers when they were presented with views of a school committed toward encouraging socioeconomic diversity. The idea for the study was sparked by the recent increase in the acknowledgement of barriers lowincome students and their families face when it comes to financing a university education, Browman said. However, despite universities’ efforts to admit students from all backgrounds, these students still had difficulty feeling at home, he said. “The admitted students continue to express that the universities are still more focused on serving students from higher-income families and that they’re not truly committed in helping to support students like them,” he said. Weinberg freshman Madisen Hursey, a Quest Scholars executive board member, said there is an assumption among faculty, staff and other students that students don’t have an issue with paying for things and achieving certain goals are easy for everyone. “You have to be a self-advocate if you are a lowincome student,” Hursey said. Despite the administration’s efforts to promote inclusion and diversity awareness, part of the student population still fails to recognize problems related to low-income students, Walsh said. “Certain segments of the student body are not buying into this message as much as they should,” Walsh said. “The majority of the more privileged population tends to forget that there are marginalized communities that do need support and assistance.” Hursey said this is a problem that needs to be dealt with because students need to be aware of the opportunities that can help them with their economic difficulties. She added that outside of Quest Scholars, she was not aware of other campus resources for low-income students prior to coming to NU. Motivated by an effort to increase inclusion for low-income students, Walsh said she has successfully implemented 12 to 15 university-wide programs in collaboration with other departments during her two years as Quest Scholars’ president. Walsh said University President Morton Schapiro has decided to take on the 20 by 2020 campaign, a commitment to make 20 percent of the student body low-income by 2020. If it succeeds, the proportion of students with low socioeconomic status will increase significantly from its current 14 percent. “Northwestern is definitely making an effort to make low-income students feel more comfortable and at home,” Walsh said. “Change is not going to happen overnight.”

Hannie Lee (Communication ’15) began working with Huffman in January of her senior year, and is currently an outreach assistant working on “Saving Mes Aynak” at Kartemquin Films, a documentary production company that’s been working with Huffman on the film. Lee said working with Huffman has helped her learn to focus on the little aspects of storytelling that make a large impact and to stick with stories. “He is always like, ‘go out and shoot something,’ rather than think ‘oh, I can’t do it because there’s no story there,’” Lee said. She added that he’s also quite literally enabled her to “go out and shoot something,” lending her his equipment to use for a documentary project as part of her internship. Huffman’s interest in storytelling, as well as traveling, would eventually lead him to China, where he and his wife, who is Chinese, worked for a National Geographic offshoot after graduate school. Although he came back to the U.S. after several years, teaching at the Brooks Institute in California and later at NU, China remained at the back of his mind, so when he read a The New York Times article about a Chinese mining company setting up in Taliban country, he decided to pursue it further.

Deary shines with career game in NU loss By WILL RAGATZ
the daily northwestern @willragatz
After not playing up to her standards for most of the Big Ten season, Ashley Deary broke out with a huge performance in Northwestern’s hard-fought 91-84 loss to Indiana. The junior guard nearly recorded a triple-double for NU (13-7, 2-6 Big Ten) on Sunday against the Hoosiers (12-8, 4-4), finishing with a career-high 30 points to go along with 10 assists and 7 rebounds. It was Deary’s first game with double-digit points since she scored 15 against Nebraska on Jan. 3. “The past few games have been a little rough (for me),” Deary said. “I’ve had some ups and downs with turnovers and just finding my rhythm in Big Ten play. Today was just all in for me and for us as a team.” Deary played the entire game, and was constantly active on both ends of the floor. To go along with her offensive explosion, the NCAA’s leader in steals added four takeaways.

end up in the hands of an open shooter, a losing proposition against the conference’s best 3-point shooting team. Collins said Indiana’s dribble penetration, from Ferrell and others, forced his team into tough spots defensively all afternoon. “It’s not just Yogi. They have a lot of guys who can drive the ball,” Collins said. “When you have four or fivrotation, you’re always scrambling.” The Hoosiers repeatedly looked a step ahead of that scrambling NU defense. When the Cats were forced to rotate around the perimeter, Indiana always seemed to swing the ball to one more player than NU could cover. When the
“I thought Ashley Deary played a great college basketball game tonight, really proud of her,” coach Joe McKeown said. Although NU lost its third consecutive game, Deary kept her team in the contest throughout. She was the only Wildcat to shoot above 50 percent from the floor, as she connected on 11 of her 18 attempts. Deary scored her 30 points from all over the court. She hit three shots from beyond the arc and converted mid-range jumpers and acrobatic layups. Above all, Deary showed a great deal of heart in the loss. Of her seven rebounds, four came on the offensive end. On one play in the fourth quarter, Deary missed a contested layup, stole the ball from the Indiana player who had gotten the rebound and scored on an even tougher lay-in. “Even at halftime, when we were down, I felt like she was doing the right things as far as running our team, making defensive plays,” McKeown said. “I thought she played at the level that I’ve seen her at in the past … I think she really did everything to help our team win today.” williamragatz2019@u.northwestern.edu Cats were defending in transition, the Hoosiers always seemed to have one more player running out than NU could mark. That’s how, despite receiving 36 combined points on good efficiency from senior center Alex Olah and senior guard Tre Demps, the Cats suffered their largest defeat of the season. Indiana bent NU’s zone out of shape with ease possession after possession, and if the Cats want to break their lengthy tournament drought, they can’t afford to let that become a trend. Demps said NU wasn’t prepared for the Hoosiers’ activity level on the offensive end. “They’re just all over the place, running the floor, crashing the (offensive) boards” he said. “We weren’t ready for it.” maxschuman2018@u.northwestern.edu

NU dropped by Hoosiers in third-straight loss By COLE PAXTON
the daily northwestern @ckpaxton
Staring down the barrel of a two-game losing skid and facing a second-tier opponent, the Wildcats needed a win. On Sunday, they didn’t get it. Not even junior forward Nia Coffey’s 27 points and junior guard Ashley Deary’s career-high 30 points could propel Northwestern (13-7, 2-6) to a win. Indiana (12-8, 4-4) used doublefigure scoring from five players to defeat the Cats 91-84 Sunday at Welsh-Ryan Arena. “Tough game. Really tough game,” coach Joe McKeown said. “Lots of runs and unfortunately Indiana had the last run that we couldn’t stop, and that was the difference in the game.” After starting Big Ten play losing five of their first seven games, NU badly needed a win. Defeating the Hoosiers, a team with an RPI of 62, would have been particularly important for an NU team that entered Sunday ranked No. 58. Instead of scoring a home win against a team that, according to one measure, is near their caliber, NU took another loss to a less than elite team. The loss also overshadowed an exceptional performance for Deary, who played all 40 minutes. She was just three boards shy of a tripledouble, and dished out 10 assists in addition to her 30 points. Coffey was also strong, scoring in

double-figures for the 35th consecutive game and adding 11 rebounds for a double-double of her own. NU’s offense, for the most part, was varied and successful. Deary found Coffey wide open underneath the basket in the opening minutes, and junior guard Christen Inman found freshman forward Pallas Kunaiyi-Akpanah open in a similar situation early in the second quarter. NU hit its fair share of jumpers as well. Deary sold an Indiana defender with a pump fake and hit a midrange shot and senior guard Maggie Lyon and Deary each hit three 3-pointers. In crunch time, though, only Indiana looked crisp. Indiana guard Tyra Buss knifed her way through the lane and past several NU defenders for the go-ahead score, and her long outlet pass to guard Alexis Gassion on the next possession came after Deary and Kunaiyi-Akpanah both missed layups for the Cats. “I don’t know,” McKeown said of why Indiana controlled the fourth quarter. “I think defensively there’s some technical things we got to break down. I thought our energy was high tonight … we just have these defensive breakdowns in awareness that we got to clean up.” NU’s entire third quarter was strong, as they turned a 5-point halftime deficit into a 7-point lead after three periods. Indiana, however, scored 33 points in the fourth — 12 more than they totaled in any other period. “I think we just broke down defensively,” Deary said. “We weren’t communicating in transition or in our defensive scheme.” The Cats were within 2 points with as little as 2:18 to play, but the Hoosiers made 5-of-6 free throws after that point. Buss led the Hoosiers with 21 points and was followed closely by forward Amanda Cahill, who had 20. The Cats had little answer for guard Jess Walter, who hit four 3-pointers en route to 15 points. Walter entered Sunday averaging just 2.9 points per game. Having lost three straight, the Cats face a monumental challenge at No. 7 Ohio State on Thursday. NU did, however, defeat the Buckeyes 86-82 in Evanston less than two weeks ago. McKeown, instead of sulking in defeat, reminded positive about the season moving forward. . “In the Big Ten we play an 18 game schedule and the (conference) tournament,” McKeown said. “We got a lot of games left. We’re only, not even halfway through the conference.” colepaxton2019@u.northwestern.edu

Cats blown out by Indiana in Bloomington Defense Northwestern
By GARRETT JOCHNAU

Seniors Tre Demps and Alex Olah had not been themselves entering Saturday’s contest in Indiana. But despite glimpses of vintage dominance against the Hoosiers, the duo could not muster the firepower necessary to carry an otherwise lifeless squad past a surging Indiana team, who won 89-57. The first half laid the foundation for the rest of the game, with the two seniors scoring 24 of Northwestern’s 26 points. Demps, who finished with 17, looked confident in the backcourt and Olah, who notched 19, looked spry in the post, making a strong return to the center position after missing six games with a foot injury and playing limited minutes in the subsequent two. But on the other side of the court, the Hoosiers (17-3, 7-0 Big Ten) relied on a team effort to propel it to an early lead over the visiting Wildcats (15-6, 3-5). “You come in and they just hit you right away to start the game,” coach Chris Collins said. “I think we worked our way back into in a little bit but they just put a lot of pressure on you. Their driving game is really hard to stop and they have a lot of guys that can put pressure on you and their driving ability, plus everyone can shoot.” Indiana, who remains undefeated in the Big Ten, put on an offensive show, taking advantage of the Cats’ missed defensive rotations and shooting 13-of-28 from deep on the day. The mark serves as a stark contrast from NU’s shooting numbers. After unsuccessfully relying on 3-point shooting to pace its offense, the Cats made a conscious effort to get to the rim, either driving or working the ball into the bigs on the block. The result was a 5-of-15

mark from 3 for NU, which allowed Demps and Olah to enjoy big days, but left the Cats grasping for straws after sophomore guard Bryant McIntosh failed to find any offensive rhythm through the bulk of the contest. McIntosh went 1-of-7 from the floor in the opening half and found fleeting success working a two-man game in the second half with freshman center Dererk Pardon, who scored 9. Overall, McIntosh scored just 4 points, going 2-of-12 from the floor and dishing out six assists. His struggles come on
the heels of two rough shooting games — against Penn State and Maryland — after McIntosh seemingly single-handedly led NU past Wisconsin in their last win. McIntosh’s recent stretch highlights the harsh reality that the Cats will only go as far as their point guard will take them, and Saturday, it wasn’t enough. On the other hand, his positional matchup, guard Yogi Ferrell, proved to be everything he was advertised to be and then some. After a decent yet unremarkable first period, Indiana’s floor general exploded after the break, scoring 12 of his 17 in the second half to guarantee a Hoosier win. He was joined by seven other Indiana players who scored at least seven. For comparison, outside Olah, Demps, McIntosh and Pardon, only freshman forward Aaron Falzon and junior forward Nathan
Taphorn scored, tallying 5 and 3 points, respectively. Indiana also found firepower behind a stellar effort on the glass that saw them out-rebound NU 40-23. As the Cats prepare for Thursday’s home bout with the talented, but struggling No. 11 Michigan State, Olah and Demps’ collective rejuvenation offer a silver lining. But overall, a 32-point loss that saw minimal contributions from the rest of the team guarantees that NU has plenty to work on before it looks to bounce back against the Spartans. “That’s the Big Ten for you. It’s an 18-game journey,” Collins said. “It’s a long journey of a season and this is definitely a tough stretch. You come in trying to get a win and we got beat. It happens sometimes, especially against a great team.” garrettjochnau2019@u.northwestern.edu

exposed in big road loss By MAX SCHUMAN
daily senior staffer
For the entirety of Northwestern’s 89-57 loss Saturday at Indiana, the Wildcats had no answers for Tom Crean’s offense. NU (15-6, 3-5) bore witness to a master class in offensive basketball taught by the Hoosiers, who sport the Big Ten’s highest-scoring offense. But it’s how easily Indiana scored — and how little the Cats’ matchup zone did to slow the Hoosiers down —that bodes poorly for NU’s fading tournament hopes going into the heart of the conference schedule. “They’re a hard team to guard, especially (at home),” coach Chris Collins said. “They can expose any defense and ours just happened to be the next one in line.” It started with star Indiana guard Yogi Ferrell, who seemed to be in complete control for much of the game on the way to 17 points and six assists. He was constantly probing the Cats’ perimeter defense, getting to his spots and scoring or distributing without much trouble. If NU’s frontcourt stepped up to corral Ferrell’s penetration, Indiana forward Troy Williams cut right into the vacated space for an easy layup, as he did twice in the second half. If the Cats packed in defenders from the perimeter to help, the ball would » See DEFENSE, page 7
