Uber prepares for local launch Car service comes to city Wednesday, offers free rides By PATRICK SVITEK
daily senior staffer @PatrickSvitek
On-demand car service Uber launches Wednesday in Evanston, its first foray into the Chicago suburbs and a new option for Northwestern students as they start the academic year. The San Francisco-based company produces a smartphone app that allows customers to call a car to their current location after creating an account and entering their credit card information. Uber says Evanston riders can expect to wait less than 10 minutes for their car to arrive. UberBLACK, the company’s flagship service, charges a $7 base fare and 85 cents per minute when the car is traveling slower than 11 mph and $3.50 per mile when the car is traveling faster than 11 mph. Uber also offers a lowcost option known as uberX, as well as SUV and taxi services. For example, an Uber trip from downtown Evanston to Navy Pier in Chicago could cost anywhere from about $30 to about $100, depending on the type of car, according to the company’s website. In March, Uber announced it would spread to the suburbs, but the transition
would “not happen overnight.” A map on Uber’s website shows the expansion covering most of the north and west suburbs, including pick-up locations as far north as Highland Park and west as Naperville. Max Crowley, senior community manager for Uber in the Chicago area, said Uber picked Evanston as the starting point for its suburban expansion because the city is one of the most requested locations through the company’s customer service and on social media. “There’s definitely been a lot of interest in Evanston,” he said. “(Our customers) really want us to have a solid presence there.” From Wednesday through Oct. 20, Uber will offer a free ride to anyone whose trip starts or ends in Evanston. Uber will join several transportation options in Evanston, ranging from the El and Metra to campus shuttles and SafeRide. Crowley said Uber does not want to compete with those choices but rather serve as another option when it is “worth the potentially five, 10 extra dollars to get home efficiently and safety.” “We fill the gaps that naturally exist,” he added. Hani Mahmassani, director of the Northwestern University Transportation Center, said Uber may be more successful among Evanston residents on “special occasions” than NU students who are used to cheaper ways of » See UBER, page 9

After an academic year that brought mental health issues at Northwestern to the forefront of campus discussions, a new required event for freshmen and transfers debuted Sunday night at Welsh-Ryan Arena. The latest addition to the series of Essential NU events presented to incoming students included talks from John Dunkle, director of Counseling and Psychological Services; Patricia Telles-Irvin, vice president for student affairs; and Ani Ajith, Associated Student Government president. Jordan Burnham, a member of Active Minds’ Speakers Bureau, gave the program’s featured speech. Burnham spoke of how his struggle with depression fueled his attempt to take his own life.

Hundreds of family members and friends filled a west Evanston church Friday morning to remember Cardereon Preister, recalling his upbeat attitude and contagious smile. “Cardereon gave a little bit of sunshine to everybody,” said uncle Corey Preister at his slain nephew’s funeral service. Cardereon Preister, 21, was fatally shot Sept. 10 outside his home in the 1700 block of Leland Avenue. The service at Christ Temple Missionary Baptist Church, 1711 Simpson St., came the morning after police announced they have charged an Evanston teen with killing Cardereon Preister. Cardereon Preister, born Dec. 2, 1991, grew up in Evanston and attended Evanston Township High School. He was the first child of three — “his mother’s bouncing baby boy,” according to a funeral program. The program described Cardereon Preister as a “positive person to the young and old,” especially children. He had a newborn daughter and

Fred Hunter, principal of Lincolnwood Elementary School, recalled talking to Cardereon Preister this summer while the new dad held his baby. “It was such a joy in which he desired for a change in his life,” Hunter said. Before Cardereon Preister was a father, though, family friend Joyce Woods said she watched him grow into a “loving, funny” young man who charmed every woman he met. “He worked hard, he played hard and he loved hard,” said Woods, who has known the Preisters for more than 20 years.

Weekend commemorates slain teen By Jennifer Ball
the daily northwestern @jennifercball
The Dajae Coleman Foundation hosted the first annual Dae Dae World Weekend to commemorate the honor roll student killed near Evanston Township High School a year ago Sunday. The high school freshman, affectionately known as “Dae Dae,� was mistaken for a gang member and fatally shot while walking home from school with friends Sept. 22, 2012. A 20-year-old man was charged less than a week later with Coleman’s death. Dae Dae World Weekend was held Friday through Sunday and included four events to honor the slain teen. The weekend kicked off Friday with Family Fun Night, which included roller skating, basketball games and an open-mic session for participants to share their memories of Dajae. “We thought it would be good to have something positive to come out of a negative situation,� said Kim Frasier, a volunteer for the foundation, during Family Fun Night. Another event on Friday, Shorefront, featured visual presentations of Dajae from students. “The event was a vision of my daughter’s — the movement,� said Michael Rice, Dajae’s grandfather, at Shorefront. He remembered that one day he took Dajae to the gym at 4 a.m. “He was tough,� he said. In addition to being an honor roll student,
West Evanston fire displaces 2 families
Two families are homeless after a house fire Thursday afternoon in west Evanston, according to the city’s fire department. No one was hurt in the fire, which broke out
Dajae played basketball for the Evanston feeder team and was going to be promoted to the sophomore team as a freshman, his grandfather said. On Saturday, Dajae’s coaches played his friends in the DC3 E-Town Ballers Basketball Game. “It’s an honor to play and do what he loved to do,� said friend Immanuel Woodberry, 15, before taking to the court. Micquel Roseman, 15, played basketball with Dajae at Kingsley Elementary School and reiterated his friend’s love for the game. “He always wanted to play,� Roseman said. Tiffany Rice, Dajae’s mother and president of the foundation, presented medals “to uplift, encourage, empower and reward our youth� during halftime to students with good attitudes, work ethics, sportsmanship and listening skills. About 40 sixth through 12th graders attended the basketball clinics Saturday morning at ETHS, and between 200 and 300 people attended Family Fun Night. After the tragedy, Dajae’s mom found his belief statement from his second period humanities class on his computer. “I think the kids that are on the street not doing anything with their lives don’t get the type of support they need from family,� it read. “They probably don’t have anyone to look up to.� “He was just an overall great person, like the person you would want to be,� Dajae’s cousin George Brandon Jr., 16, said. Dajae’s mom and grandfather agreed he inspired his friends, both saying his “legacy is love.� “Here you’ll see everyone that loved him, and at about 3:22 p.m. in a two-story house in the 1900 block of Jackson Avenue, the department said. The cause and origin of the fire are under investigation. Firefighters found heavy smoke on the north side of the house and more heavy smoke and fire in a second-floor bedroom, according to the department. The blaze was put out by 4:09

Tailgate area aimed at bringing students together By Amy Whyte
daily senior staffer @amykwhyte
Before Northwestern’s football team kicked off its game against Maine on Saturday, hundreds of purpleclad students gathered just north of Ryan Field at “Fitzerland,� a new area for student tailgating. Created by Wildside in conjunction with Student Affairs, Fitzerland had all the markings of an NU football tailgate: hot dogs and hamburgers, coolers filled with canned soda and beer, cornhole games and lots of purple. Unlike the first two home games, students were back on campus and filling the practice field at the third Fitzerland on Saturday. “There has never really been one space for all the students to come and tailgate together,� Wildside spokeswoman Noor Hasan said. “We’ve seen different groups have tailgates off campus and at parking lots on campus, and it creates a very decentralized game day atmosphere. The idea of Fitzerland came about as this ‘One Northwestern,’ one place for everyone to come together and tailgate, rather than scatter all over campus and off campus.� The name Fitzerland is a play on the name of football coach Pat Fitzgerald. A similar area for students to wait in line for tickets at Duke University is dubbed “Krzyzewskiville,� a reference to Blue Devils’ basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski. Fitzerland, which opens four hours prior to kickoff at home games and begins shutting down half an hour before the games begin, is bring-your-own food and drink and is open to all students and student groups. Grills are available for rent from Wildside, and storage
ASG Faculty and Administration Honor Roll features new faces
In addition to veteran professors and administrators, several new Northwestern staff members made
space is provided for students who bring their own tailgating equipment. “We really wanted to make it as easy a transition as possible from having tailgates at an off-campus residence to having them on campus near Ryan Field,� said Hasan, a Weinberg senior. Communication junior Emily Bacalao, who arrived at Fitzerland two hours before the game, said the tailgating location was fun and convenient. “It’s great because it’s closer, so we don’t have to worry about catching a shuttle because we’re already here,� Bacalao said. Because Fitzerland is on NU property, all University policies regarding alcohol consumption apply: Students can drink if they are legally of age and no communal sources of beverages, such as kegs, are allowed. For safety reasons, glass bottles and charcoal grills are also not allowed. However, Wildside president Gram Bowsher said the rules would mostly be self-enforced by students. “We want this to be a safe, fun environment, but we also don’t want this to be stuffy and some place where there’s going to be someone breathing down your back to make sure you’re following all the rules to a T,� the SESP junior said. “We do want people to know that the University policies apply and if you do something that’s going to be dangerous to yourself or to another student, those policies will come into effect, but we also think it’s important to keep in mind that it’s a lot safer to let students be students at a central tailgating spot.� Bowsher said Wildside’s executive board hopes Fitzerland will not only provide a safer location for students to tailgate, but that it would also help increase overall football game attendance. the annual Associated Student Government Faculty and Administration Honor Roll this year. ASG released the list Wednesday. Dean of Students Todd Adams and Lesley-Ann Brown, director of campus inclusion and community — both of whom were hired last academic year — were among the 120 faculty and administrators elected by students for the Honor Roll. Several new professors also made

Tailgate Students chat at Fitzerland before the football game against Maine on Saturday. The new location’s proximity to the football field made it easy for tailgaters to get to the stadium.
“To have the student section as full as it was the first two games when so many people haven’t made it back to Evanston yet really shows a lot of support to the team,� Bowsher said. “We do credit a lot of that to the student tailgating because we have all these students that would typically be off-campus, and now they’re doing all their tailgating right there by the field.� McCormick junior Aaron Orwasher, who attended Fitzerland for the first time Saturday, said he liked the new tailgating spot because it brought more students together than several off-campus parties would. “It’s better to have it here,� Orwasher said. “There’s
a much better game-day mentality.� Bowsher said Wildside has already seen good attendance at Fitzerland, and he has high expectations for the rest of the season. “All signs are pointing towards Fitzerland being the student tailgating space on campus,� Bowsher said. “Especially with the Ohio State game coming up. We’re really expecting things to be incredibly crowded, and its going to be an exciting, energetic atmosphere and a ton of fun.�
the cut. “It’s not necessarily based on how many years they’ve been here, it’s how well they were teaching that year,� said Sofia Sami, ASG academic vice president. Sami, who compiled the list, said more students were involved with the selection process than they were last year. “Our nominations are back up to where they were
two years ago, which is about 1,200 nominations,� the Weinberg senior said. “Last year they were a little bit low — we had some issues with PR. This year we left the nominations open for a longer period of time.� The full honor roll can be viewed online at dailynorthwestern.com.

New department aims to bolster Asian studies By Joseph Diebold
daily senior staffer @JosephDiebold
When visiting Prof. Peter Shen begins his Chinese literature class Tuesday afternoon, it will mark the end of a more than five-year process to bring Northwestern to the level of its peers in studying Asian humanities. Shen’s class will be the first in NU’s new department of Asian languages and cultures. The department, housed within the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, will fuse areas of study previously contained in the Asian Studies Program and the Program of African and Asian Languages. Language courses in Chinese, Hindi, Japanese and Korean will move to the new department, as will other literature and cultural studies classes focusing on Asia. Chinese literature Prof. Paola Zamperini will chair the department through its nascent phase and for the next three years. Zamperini said she views the new department as an “evolution” rather than a simple split from NU’s earlier offerings in similar academic areas. Zamperini credited Weinberg Dean Sarah Mangelsdorf with taking a significant interest in starting the department. Mangelsdorf arrived in 2008, Zamperini said, and noticed that NU was lagging behind its peer institutions. The University of Chicago has an East Asian Languages and Civilizations department, and Georgetown University has its own department of East Asian Languages and Cultures. “She thought that this would be one of the priorities of her tenure here to make sure, first of all, that Northwestern students could choose to major in the field of the humanities while focusing strongly on a language,” Zamperini said of Mangelsdorf, “but also that we could have, on the campus, faculty like myself or like (Hindi literature Prof.) Laura Brueck who can represent scholarship in the area of literature and film studies and gender studies.” Zamperini, who left Amherst College this summer, said the opportunity to head the new department without the constraints of a smaller school was too much to pass up. “What really drew me to Northwestern was, first,
the challenge of being able to be part of a very exciting new enterprise,” she said. “When I saw the opportunity of moving to a larger institution and the opportunity to really be involved in making a difference, in my disciplinary areas but also in the general field of Asian studies, at the academic level in a prestigious institution like Northwestern, I just couldn’t turn it down.” Zamperini added that when she visited for her interview, she was impressed by the enthusiasm demonstrated by faculty, staff and students. Weinberg sophomore Ben Bloch said he looks forward to the new offerings. “When I first came to Northwestern, I asked around and there were people in other departments who told me they were planning this, and by my sophomore or junior year we should have a new department that would give me access to ... new classes, new professors, possibly a new study abroad option, so I’m actually really excited this went through,” Bloch said. Bloch, who took a freshman seminar in Japanese literature and a class in the language, highlighted more analysis of Japanese linguistically as an area where he hopes to see expanded course offerings from DALC. The department will begin with eight-course minors in Chinese language and culture and Japanese language and culture, and Zamperini said a major is in the works. She said Fall 2014 is an “optimistic” timetable for unveiling the major and that the department plans to hire at least four new faculty in the next four years as it attempts to bolster its course offerings. Although the Asian Studies program and the new department will have some overlap, Zamperini and history Prof. Peter Carroll compared the relationship between Asian Studies and DALC to that of American Studies and NU’s English department. “Both the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures and the Asian Studies Program provide opportunities for students to make learning and using an Asian language a key component of their education,” the professors wrote in an email to department staff. “Knowledge of an Asian language offers entry into rich and complex cultures that are both fascinating and thought provoking.” josephadiebold@u.northwestern.edu
Recent SESP aluma wins world paratriathlon championship
Hailey Danisewicz (SESP ‘13) won a world championship in the paratriathlon Sept. 13, completing the course from London’s 2012 Olympic Games less than three months after graduating from Northwestern with a degree in human development and psychological services. Danisewicz, who lost a leg to cancer as a teenager, finished the 750-meter swim, 20-kilometer bike ride and 5-kilometer run in 1 hour, 29 minutes and 29 seconds. She began running triathlons during her time at NU. During a SESP internship at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, she helped plan a camp for injured veterans and coached athletes in the institute’s adaptive ski program. Danisewicz also counseled runners and spectators who lost limbs in the April bombing at the Boston Marathon. “Thanks to the city of Boston for being so wicked awesome,” Danisewicz wrote at the time. “I can’t wait to come back and run through your streets once again, this time in the company of some inspiring heroes with running blades of their own.” — Joseph Diebold
School of Law creates new public interest fellowship
The Northwestern School of Law has established a new fellowship for post-graduate opportunities in public interest law, the University announced Friday. The Jay A. Pritzker Fellowship Program will offer fellowships to several students annually over a three-year period. The fellowship is funded by a $1 million gift from the Jay Pritzker Foundation, named for Pritzker (Weinberg ‘41, Law ‘47). “We need to do all we can to expand opportunities in this area,” said Dan Pritzker (Law ‘86), a trustee of the foundation and Jay Pritzker’s son, in a news release. “We made this gift to honor the memory of my father, a

dedicated philanthropist. We hope to inspire others to contribute as well, so that the Law School can expand these types of public interest initiatives.” In addition to the $1 million gift, the foundation will match other gifts of $25,000 that go toward similar fellowships. “So many of our students see the impact that public interest law can have on the well-being of their communities and society,” Dean Daniel Rodriguez said in the news release. “The Jay Pritzker Foundation’s generous gift to establish this program enables our graduates to immediately begin serving their communities, regardless of financial constraints.” The Pritzker Fellowship will supplement the Northwestern Law Public Interest Fellowships program, established earlier this year. — Joseph Diebold

Beware effects of sleep deprivation Coming out The guides were gone, and I found myself going to bed later and later and later. Needless to say, I did not practice good sleep “hygiene.” Before I knew it, I was well on my way to Daily columnist being sleep deprived. @themichaelzwang According to the Centers for Disease Control, adolescents should get eight to nine hours I can’t pinpoint the exact date when I realof sleep daily, which adds another notch to ized that I had seriously screwed up my sleep the long list of ways people ignore the CDC. schedule. In high school, the fact that I had to In all seriousness, sleep deprivation has many wake up early every day kept me on track.

The transition to college was firsthand. like taking the exit On the worst days of being sleep deprived, I ramp to an would skip classes. When I actually tried to go underto my early-morning classes, I was completely mainunable to focus on the lectures. Taking naps tained during the evening became a tradition, road that one that actually made my situation led only worse by delaying my real bedtime. to sad Most Northwestern students are feelfamiliar with this feeling. Pulling allings. nighters is one of the quintessential college experiences, such as climbing the roofs of various buildings and drinking (hopefully not in that order), but that doesn’t mean it’s a good thing. In fact, the same CDC source reports that nearly half of all adolescents involuntarily fall asleep during the day. It’s a pretty common problem, and the prevailing solution is to just ride it out, which is fine because missing some sleep every once in a while is OK. However, let’s be honest. Judging from the statistics, as well as my personal experiences, a lot of us have bad sleeping habits. Thankfully, we’re young, and fixing them is not usually an issue. If you think your sleep habits are under control, read no further. For the
Michael wang
rest of us, realize that the consequences of sleep deprivation build up the longer you keep them up. The problem is cyclical: Bad sleep habits lead to bad sleep, which leads to worse sleep habits. At my worst, I was going to sleep at 4 a.m. on a regular basis. In retrospect, I have nobody to blame but myself. I am writing this both as a reflection of my personal experience, as well as a cautionary tale to others. It’s easy to blame classwork, group projects or extracurricular activities for your lack of sleep, but I think those reasons are cop-outs. Good sleep habits require only that a minute amount of effort go into effective time-management skills. That means you ought to stop procrastinating. You should stop doing homework the day or even two days — that’s still not enough — before it’s due. Not having access to professors or TAs greatly increased the time I spent working on said assignments and was my No. 1 cause of poor sleep hygiene. Obviously, if you have another external cause that is preventing you from getting a good nights sleep (excessive amounts of stress, mental or physical issues), see a medical professional about it. Otherwise, your best bet would probably be to follow the CDC’s tips on good sleep practices. The two I found most useful were to maintain a consistent sleep schedule and to not use electronics in bed or before sleeping. If these are habits you already have, it will be hard to fix them, but, trust me, a good night’s sleep is worth it. Michael Wang is a McCormick sophomore.

Going vegan helps environment, animals sydney doe
guest columnist
You love bacon. Your grandma makes the best roast beef, and you don’t know what you’d eat most nights if you couldn’t have pizza. I’ve been there. All I ask is that you hear me out and consider what could have turned an icecream-loving, pizza-gobbling college student like myself into a crazy vegan. Many don’t realize how wasteful animal products are. According to Rosamond Naylor, an associate professor of economics at Stanford University, it takes two to 10 times as much grain to produce the same number of calories in meat versus direct grain consumption. Princeton University bioethicist Peter Singer reports that, if the grain fed to livestock was given to the 1.4 billion starving and malnourished people, there would be enough grain for everyone to have about three pounds of grain daily — twice the amount needed for survival. Because it takes two to 10 times as much land, water and labor just to grow the grain necessary for every calorie of meat, animal products have a huge environmental impact. Richard Schwartz, a mathematics professor at the College of Staten Island, reports the standard diet of a meat-eater in the US requires 4,200 gallons of water daily, while the diet of a vegan requires 300. I know you’re sick of being reprimanded for the environmental
impact of every little thing you do, from using the wrong kind of showerhead to leaving the lights on, but let’s put this in context. The EPA says the average U.S. family uses about 3,650 gallons showering in three months. You save more water going vegan for one day than your entire family would by not showering for three months. The Environmental Defense Fund reports, “if every American skipped one meal of chicken per week and substituted vegetarian foods instead, the carbon dioxide savings would be the same as taking more than half a million cars off of U.S. roads.” This is all to say nothing of the suffering farm animals endure. I know people love making cracks about the food chain, and honestly, if I was stranded on a desert island with a cow, I’m not making any promises. However, that’s not relevant to the issue at hand. According to the USDA and EPA, more than 99 percent of animal products consumed in the U.S. come from factory farms, where much unnecessary abuse occurs. The Humane Society writes that birds are “shackled upside down, paralyzed by electrified water and dragged over mechanical throat-cutting blades...all while conscious.” According to the ASPCA, beef cows are castrated, branded and dehorned without anesthesia and the male calves of dairy cows are ripped from their mothers immediately after birth and raised for veal, where they spend their only few months of life in small dark boxes, restricting their muscle development to produce a more “tender” meat. The United Egg Producers confirm it’s standard practice to grind up live male chicks hours after birth, as
they are no use to the egg industry. A group at Wesleyan University reports that birds are kept in cages so small their feet often grow around the wire floor. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Rape racks, mastitis, gestation crates and debeaking are all realities billions of animals annually suffer and die facing because consumers pay farms to engage in them. You don’t have to go vegan cold turkey (no pun intended). That is an admirable goal, but don’t beat yourself up if you just can’t see yourself breaking it to grandma that you can’t have her famous roast beef anymore. But that doesn’t mean you can’t do anything. Every meal counts. Every time you opt for a PB&J or veggie burger instead of a chicken sandwich, you’re decreasing demand by one more chicken who will suffer and die in agony and the two to 10 times as many calories of grain used to produce the chicken, making it cheaper for those who desperately need those calories. According to PETA, the average vegan decreases demand by 200 animals every year, and a vegetarian decreases demand by 100. It’s not about the food-chain or human superiority. It’s about the power to end a tangible amount of suffering at very little inconvenience to yourself.

Coming out of the closet for the first time is like riding the front row of the Raging Bull at Six Flags. It’s a journey that evokes uncertainty, anxiety, anticipation and excitement, all in very high doses. As you are about to get on the ride, sometimes you think to yourself, “Oh shoot, this might not be a good idea,” but in the end it’s completely worth it. Years after first coming out, emotions no longer run high, and revealing your sexuality is like getting on The Viper at night when you’re tired, but you might as well try all the rides before the park closes. It’s kind of thrilling, but you do it more out of obligation than for any other reason. I’m glad coming out is no longer the stressful situation it used to be. My heart doesn’t If being pound in my chest before telling somegay isn’t a big one, and I can do it deal, why is casually without makit necessary ing a big deal out of it. Usually a comment or to announce two about a celebrity it to people? that I find attractive gives people the hint. Why is coming For example, I came out even out to my P-Wild important? group by saying that Legolas from The Lord of the Rings was my first crush. They still poke fun at me because of it. However, the fact that I am able to make a casual comment like that is pretty cool because it means that I’ve become comfortable with my sexual identity to the point that I don’t care who knows or what people think. It also means that I’m in an environment where the community is so open and understanding that my coming out is neither surprising or a “big deal.” I can’t imagine going to a more conservative school and having the same coming out experience. I put “big deal” in quotes because it’s a phrase I’ve often heard other gay and bisexual people use in reference to their sexuality. What does it mean for one’s sexuality to be a “big deal?” Also, some people have brought up the question: If being gay isn’t a big deal, why is it necessary to announce it to people? Why is coming out even important? It’s an interesting point, and I’ve met gay people who rarely come out because they don’t think it’s a “big deal.” They keep their personal lives personal and keep their mouths closed during conversations inquiring into the subject. This is something I’ve tried before, and I’ve realized that when I don’t come out, I inevitably start lying to people. I start making up reasons for why I don’t have a girlfriend or play along with conversations about women I find attractive. This is why I find coming out to be important, a sort of obligation, even if it is done in a casual, lighthearted way. Even if it doesn’t seem like a “big deal,” coming out keeps you honest with the people around you. Being gay, for me, isn’t a “big deal” because it isn’t a defining quality of my character, and I don’t think it should change the way people treat me. From my experience, it hasn’t. At the same time, being gay is part of my identity, and it becomes a big deal when I have to start lying to people about it. But I do realize that I am lucky to even have the option of coming out casually. It’s nice that I can choose whatever method of coming out I find comfortable, and, because I’m at Northwestern, be 99 percent sure that I would get either a positive or indifferent response.

Bail set at $750,000 for Cardereon Preister slaying suspect
A Cook County judge set bail Friday morning at $750,000 for the Evanston teen accused of killing 21-year-old Cardereon Preister. Matthew Dubose, 18, shot and killed Preister about 11 p.m. Sept. 10 while Preister was standing outside his home in the 1700 block of Leland Avenue, according to prosecutors. They said Dubose shot Preister once in the chest from about 10 feet away. In court Friday morning, prosecutors said Preister did “rip off ” two people earlier this summer, and the fatal shooting was in retaliation for those incidents. Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said Thursday that Preister tried to trade his gun for money and drugs, and the deal “went awry.” Deborah Cohen, Dubose’s attorney, told

Kenneth Cherry said Dubose’s arrest is no reason to celebrate. “They charged a young man, but nobody won,” Cherry said. “That family is in turmoil just like this one.” The speakers told everyone to pray for victims of gun violence in the 5th Ward

Despite the recent rash of gun violence involving Evanston men, the speakers struck a hopeful note while memorializing Cardereon Preister. “He didn’t leave us,” Corey Preister said. “He’s just got closer to us because now he’s embedded in our hearts.” patricksvitek2014@u.northwestern.edu
More than 100 family members and friends gathered Friday morning to mourn Sem Adrien, an Evanston man who was killed earlier this month in Kansas. The funeral service at First Evangelical Haitian Baptist Church, 1309 Elmwood Ave., featured speeches by pastor Daniel Dumont, along with a number of musical selections and mourning prayers, according to the program.

Former NU football coach passes away at 69
Former football coach Francis Peay died at age 69 Saturday morning, according to Northwestern officials. Peay took over the Wildcats in 1986 and collected more wins than either of his two predecessors. By the time NU replaced him in 1992, the former All-American Missouri offensive lineman had racked up 13 wins, 51 losses and two ties. His four-win season in 1986 marked the most
Hutchinson, Kan., where he had been working for the state fair. He originally went to Kansas to help rebuild in the aftermath of a small tornado. Michael Briscoe, 35, has been charged with killing Adrien, 26. The Hutchinson man knew Adrien, and the two men had a disagreement before the fatal shooting, according to prosecutors. Earlier this month, Adrien’s brother, Duckens Adrien, described him as “outgoing and ambitious” with a talent for soccer and an interest in youth education. “The power of potential — that describes him to a T,” Duckens Adrien said. — Sammy Caiola
victories the Cats would muster until the Rose Bowl season nine years later. Before coming to NU, Peay was picked in the first round of the 1966 National Football League Draft by the New York Giants. During his nine-year professional career he also played for the Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs. He and former offensive coordinator Mike Dunbar were honored Saturday afternoon at Ryan Field with a moment of silence before the Cats and Maine Black Bears began the game. — Steven Montero

traditional taxi alternative Uber allows customers to request a ride using an iPhone app. The on-demand car service launches Wednesday in Evanston.

From page 1 moving around campus and the city. “Public transit may just be a better deal for students,� Mahmassani added. But Crowley said Uber appeals to different budgets and “aligns well with the campus community,� especially when it comes to uberX. As Uber’s cheapest offering, uberX charges a $3.15 base fare and 40 cents a minute when the car is traveling slower than 11 mph and $1.75 per mile when the car is traveling faster than 11 mph. Uber’s arrival in Evanston coincides with its second anniversary in Chicago, where the company has grown but also faced a hostile cab lobby. In October 2012, a lawsuit filed on behalf of Chicago taxi and limousine companies accused Uber of misleading its customers to think it is partnering with them. The lawsuit also claimed Uber skirts taxi regulations in the city.
Cab service 303 Taxi, one of the largest in Chicago’s suburbs and collar counties, said in a statement that Evanston residents “threaten the survival of ... long-standing local companies� when they use Uber. 303 Taxi began in 1946 with three independent contractors from Evanston. “All across the country, and now locally, Uber has leeched off transportation companies that have established recognizable brands,� 303 Taxi spokeswoman Erica Rapoport wrote in the statement. Andrew Macdonald, general manager for Uber in the Chicago area, called the statement a “common refrain� from taxi companies when Uber moves into their territory. “The reality on the ground is taxi drivers are independent contractors,� he said. “At the end of the day, they’re trying to make as much money as they can. ... We’re just another channel for them.� patricksvitek2014@u.northwestern.edu
psychological problems is key to taking care of oneself and emphasized that such discussion is important for all issues on the mental health spectrum, from sadness and stress to depression and disorders. “You’re going to be told one thing over and over again: that you have bigger responsibilities,� Burnham said. “You have responsibilities to make sure you get enough sleep, that you make sure you get to class, that you study, that you do your homework. You have all these responsibilities, which is true, but you also have the even bigger responsibility to take care of your mental health at the same time.� Burnham said he hopes his story will inspire students to continue the conversation and encourage them to make mental health a topic of conversation at NU. Following Burnham’s speech, Dunkle outlined University organizations that offer mental health resources, including CAPS, the Women’s Center, the Dean of Students’ Office, Sexual Health and Assault Peer Educators and NUhelp. “If there’s one clear message that we want you to leave with, it is that it is OK to ask for help,� Dunkle said. Ajith echoed that sentiment, saying the senior class has succeeded at NU by learning to recognize their limits and care for each other. He added that recognizing one’s limits means realizing that the mind can veer off the beaten path and that students should feel open talking about their problems. Returning peer adviser Maria Rozo said the program’s focus on the message “it’s OK to get help� was important. “It’s something we need to break down as a barrier,� the Weinberg senior said. “They should have gotten a little more in depth on the resources and how to actually get in touch with people. For the first time having a mental health ENU, it was a great stepping stone, but it could definitely be improved in the coming years.� Patricia Hilkert, director of new student and family programs, said the addition of mental health programming to Wildcat Welcome is an attempt to make students aware of the resources available to them and the ways the University can help them before the issues become too serious. “Northwestern is packed full of resources and
people who care and want to help, but all the time we hear that students have no idea these things exist,� Hilkert said. “I don’t want anyone saying ‘I had no idea that I could have gotten help for my mental health issues.’� Telles-Irvin noted that student support for the programming was crucial to its It was inception. “It was actually actually our our students that students that came to us, your came to us, your upper-class colleagues and peers upper-class that said to us, ‘We colleagues and really need an ENU on mental health,’ peers that said and, because the to us, ‘We really students came to us with that request, we need an ENU on decided it would be a mental health.’� good idea,� she said. Hilkert said that Patricia Telles-Irvin, vice president for although last year’s student affairs tragedies — including two student suicides — brought increased attention to the issue of mental health, the ENU has been in the works for several years. “All the other events that occurred last year were happening at the same time as we were already working on this issue,� Hilkert said. “It was great to receive ASG support and all that, but it was all in the works. It’s very helpful that other student organizations and other students are supporting what we want to do. It’s good to see that people actually really want it to happen.� Through the new program, she said, the University is trying to help students understand that mental health issues are not a cause for shame. She explained that because administrators believe the issue is particularly important, it is being addressed through required programming. “Mental health issues are difficult to talk about, and students don’t want to admit that they’re struggling with something,� Hilkert said. “I think if it were optional, some of the people who really need the help wouldn’t take advantage of the information.�

Cats pick up pair of wins at Lakeside Classic and the defense came in and made some precise, clean interventions against the Gaels’ offense. No. 16 Northwestern Freshman midfielder Brandon Medina had a stellar weekend, with two assists against the St. Mary’s Gaels on Friday and a goal against the Knights on Sunday. “(The Knights) were No. 16 very composed and Northwestern intelligent,” Medina said. “They were one of the best teams I’ve played all my life.” The score put the Cats up 1-0 in the 49th minute, but Fairleigh Dickinson’s forward Simon Doherty equalized for the Knights in the 57th minute. Ritter reappeared on the score sheet as he scored a penalty kick against the Knights in the 62nd minute to claim victory for NU. This weekend’s pair of victories included the Cats’ first home wins of the season. Although NU allowed its first goal since the season opener, the Cats continue to buff up their win column.

Northwestern claimed the No. 8 spot on the association’s list, released last week and based on factors the APCA says student athletes consider most important: a successful team record, diverse academic options for the athletes, university support of the athletic program, attendance of matches and more.

No. 18 Northwestern (4-0) didn’t play its best Saturday against Maine (3-1), but timely stops and a pair of defensive scores earned the Wildcats a 35-21 victory at Ryan Field. “They did a terrific job of containing us for a little while,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “For the most part our special teams played well, our defense played pretty solid, and we’ve got to just execute better across the 50 (yard line) as an offense.” Initially, the game looked as much a mismatch as it was expected to be. After a Maine three-and-out on the game’s first drive, NU methodically marched down the field for a nineplay, 76-yard scoring drive that We’re looking culminated in a 27-yard forward to touchdown taking no catch and chances with run from senior quarthe extra terback Kain practice, Colter to junior wide to making receiver the proper Tony Jones. “That advancements was just a that we need to great read as a team. by Kain,” Jones said. Damien Proby, “He came senior linebacker backside, saw me sitting in the hole. As soon as I caught it I bounced it outside and picked up a couple key blocks.” For the next 25 minutes, the game was decidedly less cheery for the Cats. Maine repeatedly crossed into NU territory, and although the Black Bears failed to convert their drives into points — Maine had one field goal blocked, missed another and turned the ball over on downs

once — the Cats’ defense continued to cede ground. Meanwhile, NU’s offense stalled, punting on three straight possessions, then giving the ball away on a Colter interception. But the Cats’ interception-happy defense picked up the slack. With less than a minute to play in the first half, senior linebacker Damien Proby snatched a deflected pass from Maine quarterback Marcus Wasilewski and returned it 49 yards for a touchdown to extend NU’s lead to 14-0. The second half began in almost exactly the same way the first one ended. On Maine’s first sequence, a pressured Wasilewski floated a short pass into the arms of NU sophomore defensive end Dean Lowry, who rumbled 19 yards into the end zone. The pick was Lowry’s second of the season. “He’s been playing amazing,” Proby said of Lowry, who also had a sack and a forced fumble against the Black Bears. “Defense-wise, he’s been the player of the game the last three games, I think. It’s just been amazing to see a young guy really step up.” With the Cats up 21-0, the teams traded touchdowns twice, the Black Bears scoring on two Wasilewski passes and the Cats working the ball into the end zone on the ground two times, maintaining their three-score lead. After each team lost a fumble, Maine concluded the day’s scoring with a 10-yard rush with just over two minutes to play. Several of NU’s key cogs struggled. Colter completed only five of nine passes and gained 38 yards on 12 carries on the ground, and senior kicker Jeff Budzien missed a 49-yard field goal in the third quarter, his second miss of the season after only

and pass deflection. Coach Pat Fitzgerald said Lowry’s off-the-field work is the key to Lowry continuing to be a playmaker every week. “He’s doing a really great job on his film study, great job on his preparation,” Fitzgerald said. “He’s a guy that I think through the experiences he had a year ago is really starting to come into his own.” Senior linebacker Damien Proby, who pressured Wasilewski into throwing the interception to Lowry, said he’s happy that the 6-foot, 6-inch defensive end has been playing well. “We’ve just been amazed to see a young guy like that really step up and take over the position, switching from right side to left side at defensive ends,” Proby said. “It’s been a great thing to see him transition and perform extremely well at the position.” Fitzgerald said he believes his star defensive end’s growth is only starting. “He has a great grasp of the system, plays incredibly hard with terrific effort, and he’s just, in my opinion, continuing to get better and better,” he said.
On Saturday, Northwestern beat Maine by a lot of points. That story isn’t particularly interesting or exciting. Expected, really. What’s interesting is that I wrote the above paragraph with 8 minutes and 33 seconds left in the first quarter. At no point between the revealing of the schedule and the game against Maine did I ever think to myself, “Northwestern could go into Ohio State at 3-1.” Now when’s the last time that happened in your relationship with the Wildcats? Don’t think of it as, “Of course the No. 17 team in the nation should bury an FCS school. That’s how this works.” Think of it more as you watching a Northwestern sporting event without feelings of dread, anxiety and unrelenting gastric discomfort. Truly innovative stuff going down at Ryan Field. I’m into it. You may be rolling your eyes that this phenomenon should be the subject of a column. Headline: “Good team beats not-so-good teams fairly easily.” But keep in mind this is a squad that needed an incredible fourth-quarter rally last season to beat Syracuse and found itself down a score to Vanderbilt at the half. So it’s not like this season is business as usual. It’s easy to see the football culture changing in Evanston. There’s an interest and excitement surrounding this team that simply hasn’t been there since the mid-90s. Students expect to win, the Big Ten Championship is talked about as a realistic scenario, and the intensity and anticipation for the Ohio State matchup is electrifying. College Gameday will probably take notice. That shift in attitude is largely a reflection of a program at a crossroads. After getting the Bowl Monkey off their backs last year, the Cats have an opportunity to build off of a successful season and establish themselves as a program that’s here to stay. That all starts with comfortably beating the teams you should. Four games in, NU has handled two solid BCS teams without really being threatened. The Cats have managed to work well under these new expectations without suffering a deflating letdown or even a game that makes one question whether they can be competitive in the Big Ten. And the fact that they’ve pulled this off without their biggest playmaker, All-American running back and return man extraordinaire Venric Mark, is all the more impressive. His return will only make this team more dangerous. Sure, the real test comes to town in the form of the No. 4 Buckeyes, and NU hasn’t done enough to make us feel like that game is any less of a mountain to climb. But you get the feeling it will be competitive because this team is just flat-out talented. As I’m finishing up, the game still hasn’t ended. No one watching from the stands, press box or sports bars is worried, and that marks four straight weeks with nothing but positive, Zen-like vibes surrounding this team. That has to be a new record, and something tells me Ohio State coach Urban Meyer might have more on his plate come Oct. 5 than he may currently suspect.

one in 2012. For Maine, Wasilewski completed 25 of 40 passes, eight of them — including a touchdown — to tight end Justin Perillo and seven more to receiver Derrick Johnson. Maine bested NU in first downs, time of possession and total yardage, though the Black Bears’ statistical advantages were partially a consequence of the Cats’ defensive scores keeping the NU offense off the field. With a bye week preceding a showdown with
No. 4 Ohio State on Oct. 5, several NU players said the team will work to iron out issues over the next two weeks. “It’s good to go into any bye week with room for improvement, being 4-0,” Proby said. “We’re looking forward to taking no chances with the extra practice, to making the proper advancements that we need to as a team.” alexputterman2016@u.northwestern.edu

Defensive end avoids sophomore slump By JOHN PASCHALL
daily senior staffer @john_paschall
Sophomore defensive end Dean Lowry was in the right place at the right time during Saturday’s game against Maine. Black Bear quarterback Marcus Wasilewski was simply trying to get rid of the ball while being chased by Northwestern defenders. But the signal caller could only muster a weak and errant throw that landed in the hands of Lowry, who strutted into the end zone to give the Wildcats a 21-0 lead. It wasn’t the first time Lowry found himself in a prime position to make a momentum-swinging play. Against Syracuse two weeks ago, the Rockford, Ill., native snuck into a passing lane and picked off quarterback Drew Allen. A week earlier in the season opener at California, Lowry got his hands on a Jared Goff pass, which was deflected into the hands of junior linebacker Collin Ellis, who scored a crucial touchdown in the road win. The Cats’ coaching staff has named Lowry the Defensive Player of the Game for two consecutive weeks. He’s
