Colter becomes symbol of APU By alex putterman

Susan Du/Daily Senior Staffer

IN-GAME PROTEST Quarterback Kain Colter showcases his involvement in the All Players United movement Saturday. Colter advocated support for the NCPA’s push for a wider conversation on player-rights issues.

Northwestern senior quarterback Kain Colter has taken a leadership role on a hot-button issue, though his coach isn’t thrilled with how he did so. Speaking after practice Wednesday, Colter explained his thinking behind writing “APU,” which stands for “All Players United,” on his armbands during the Wildcats’ game against Maine on Saturday. The three-letter protest made him one of the faces of a budding national movement for college athletes’ rights. The letters represent the first-ever player-driven push to ensure athletes’ voices are heard. The National College Players Association,

started in 2001 by former college linebacker Ramogi Huma, is the central force behind the movement. On Saturday, the protest included players from Georgia and Georgia Tech, in addition to Colter and several other NU players the quarterback wouldn’t name, all of whom donned “APU” on their arms. “It’s a sign of unity, not individuality,” Colter said. “It’s a sign of players coming together all over the nation — not just football players — basketball players, tennis players, being able to have our opinions heard and our needs met.” Colter said he has been involved with the NCPA since early summer and participates in conference calls with » See apu, page 10

Extended first-year programs debut By Jeanne Kuang

daily senior staffer @jeannekuang

New Student and Family Programs selected its inaugural First-Year Student Task Force on Tuesday, expanding its efforts to maintain a welcoming and engaging campus community beyond Wildcat Welcome. The initiative, which drew 60 applications, consists of 25 students from all six undergraduate schools, mostly in their first year, said Joshua McKenzie, director of the first year experience. The students will meet every other week to research the Northwestern

community, discuss campus issues and student concerns and work with McKenzie to suggest ways to address them in the future. McKenzie said the program will help first-year students “have a better start at Northwestern.” “They’re doing a lot of conversations within themselves, research within the community,” he said. “We’re going to be taking some time to chat a little bit about what their experiences are so far, and going ahead and defining some issues and challenges and successes. Then we can move forward in a more knowledgeable way.” The First-Year Student Task Force marks a shift in focus for New Student

and Family Programs, whose activities previously emphasized helping incoming students the summer before their arrival and culminated in Wildcat Welcome. “At the end of that, historically we’ve said, essentially, ‘Good luck, goodbye and hopefully the rest of the year turns out well,’” McKenzie said. “But as you know, transition isn’t magically solved in seven days of programming.” Now, he said, the office wants to implement more programs for firstyear students throughout the year. McKenzie’s title, formerly assistant director of New Student and Family Programs, was changed this year to associate director of New Student

and Family Programs and director of the first year experience to reflect his office’s new goals. Another way the office plans to enhance the first-year experience is through the yearlong pilot program, IGNITE. Peer adviser groups numbering 500 new students — a quarter of the class — and representing all six undergraduate schools were chosen to participate in the program, which is mandatory for the selected students. McKenzie said the office plans to expand the program to the entire class of 2018. The students will be part of small » See first year, page 10

Associated Student Government

ASG to roll out new transparency efforts By Sophia Bollag

daily senior staffer @SophiaBollag

As Associated Student Government works to recruit new students for the year, officers say transparency, mental health and diversity and inclusion will be the organization’s main areas of focus. Weinberg senior Sofia Sami, ASG’s academic vice president, said one of ASG’s biggest priorities has been recruitment. “At the beginning of the year, it’s a little crazy,” said Anna Kottenstette, student life vice president. “We’re all trying to revamp our committees, trying to make sure we’re set with a proper cross section of campus to provide the best possible feedback.” Outside of recruiting, ASG currently has about 200 ongoing or prospective projects, ASG president Ani Ajith said. He highlighted three main goals: diversity and inclusion, mental health and transparency. Ajith said increased transparency will make ASG more productive. “It’s a tool we’re going to use to help our projects succeed,” the Weinberg

senior said. “If we’re open about what we’re doing, if we’re constantly communicating with students, then the chances for success are going to go up. ASG plans to roll out a pilot program called the “Playbook” that will track progress in ASG committees through Google Drive and will be accessible to students. The Playbook will allow students to monitor and understand ASG’s progress on its projects and initiatives, Ajith said. “ASG’s transparency is going to be a huge focus. … There are no state secrets,” he said. “We can be very, very open about what we’re doing.” Ajith said that although he is pleased with the administration’s mental health efforts so far —including the newly introduced mental health Essential NU and increased staffing at Counseling and Psychological Services — he would like to see more progress. “What’s the best way to talk to someone about stress when they’re already so stressed out and pressed for time that they can’t make it to the stress session?” Ajith said. “One of the key things we’re » See asg, page 10

Student hospitalized after fall from frat house window

An injured Northwestern student was transported to Evanston Hospital on Tuesday morning after he fell out of the third-floor window of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house, University spokesman Al Cubbage said. Fiji president Justin Erb said Weinberg junior Matthew Cooney underwent successful surgery Tuesday night and is recovering today. University Police and the Evanston fire department responded to a 911 call at about 9:30 a.m. Cooney was alert and conscious when paramedics arrived on the scene, said Daniel McAleer, University Police deputy chief. University Police are currently investigating the incident and waiting to speak to Cooney, McAleer said. Bill Martin, executive director of Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity, said the 21-year-old is a member of the fraternity and added that alumni are on the scene to provide support to the chapter. “We’re just very concerned about the condition of the student and are hoping for the best possible outcome for him,” he said. — Cat Zakrzewski

Woman robbed at gunpoint near CTA station

An Evanston woman was robbed at gunpoint Monday night near the South Boulevard CTA station, according to police. At about 10:25 p.m., two teens approached the 33-year-old woman after she left the station near the intersection of South Boulevard and Custer Avenue, Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said. One of them pulled a strap of the purse off her shoulder while the other showed her a handgun. The teens took the woman’s purse then fled east on South Boulevard, Parrott said. He said the woman was not hurt. Her purse contained two pairs of sunglasses and her wallet. The woman described the teen with the handgun as black, 5 foot 10 and wearing a red hooded sweatshirt with black and white stripes and dark pants.

Man charged with pushing store employee

An Evanston man has been charged with attacking a store employee who tried to stop him from stealing a cell phone earlier this month, according to police. Parrott said Jeffrey Marshall, 35, tried to take the phone at about 5 p.m. Sept. 2 at the business in the 1900 block of Howard Street. The 59-year-old worker tried to grab the phone back, and Marshall, who lived nearby, pushed the employee, leaving her with a minor injury to her left finger. Detectives issued a wanted bulletin based off video surveillance, Parrott said. Marshall was arrested Tuesday. Marshall, of the 1900 block of Howard Street, was charged with battery. He is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 11. — Patrick Svitek

Evanston ranked a best dressed small city

Evanston is the eighth best dressed small city in the United States, according to a real estate blog. On Wednesday, Movoto Blog — whose tagline is “The Lighter Side of Real Estate” — said it compiled the list by looking at 153 cities with populations between 75,000 and 99,999 people. It then ranked them using five criteria: high-end fashion stores per capita, high-end shoe stores per capita, high-end jewelry stores per capita, tailors per capita and dry cleaners per capita. Evanston’s fourth-place ranking in the dry cleaners category appears to have buoyed its overall standing. The city came in no higher than 12th in the other categories. Santa Monica, Calif., topped the list, while Albany, N.Y., and Mission Viejo, Calif., flanked Evanston at seventh and ninth, respectively.

Yellow bands used to enforce bike parking

Evanston is rolling out a new way of reminding residents where to park their bikes, according to a city official. City manager Wally Bobkiewicz said Wednesday that city officials will wrap yellow bands around bike locks they spot on sign poles and street lights, among other objects besides bike racks. The bands include a city logo and read, “NO BIKE PARKING. Please Use Bike Racks.” City law prohibits bike parking that poses a “hazard to pedestrians, traffic or property.” Public Works director Suzette Robinson came up with the idea, Bobkiewicz said. She did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday. — Patrick Svitek

On Campus PETA youth division brings factory farm simulation to Norris

Members of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals’ youth division, peta2, set up an imitation factory farm Wednesday on the Norris East Lawn to try to convince students to go vegan. The “Glass Walls” exhibit took place inside a 20-by-30 foot tent, where people could confine themselves to sow gestation crates — an area so small a pregnant pig cannot take two steps. Inside, students watched peta2’s documentary, “Glass Walls,” which spotlights factory farms. “We just wanted to give students an interactive feel for what goes on in the factory farm,” said Stephanie Maddux, a peta2 volunteer who brings the Glass Walls exhibit to campuses. “We’re trying to give students an idea of what goes on through a pig’s eyes.” When people reached the end of the exhibit, they received samples of vegan cookies, meatless jerky, “cruelty-free” recipes and tips for going vegan. Maddux said going vegan saves more than 100 animals a year and lowers heart disease, diabetes and obesity rates.

Across Campuses Ranking the college rankings: What should they actually tell us?

President Barack Obama wants Washington to grade colleges and universities based on their costs and success rates, but some people are already way ahead of him. At a time when students and their families are demanding to know what they’re getting for their mounting investments in higher education, several foundations and research centers already are working on new ways to show them. Some schools, reasoning that it’s better to come up with their own ratings than have them imposed by someone else, are even quietly developing new ways to gauge what graduates learn and earn, though many

remain reluctant so far to make the results public. “One thing everyone seems to agree on is that we should have a good way for people to choose where to go to college,” said Zakiya Smith, strategy director at the Lumina Foundation, The foundation is offering $10,000 in a crowdsourced competition to come up with the best way to make more user-friendly a White House website called the College Scorecard. Obama has proposed that the government publicly rate colleges and universities by 2015, based on average student debt, graduation rates, graduates’ earnings and other barometers. — Jon Marcus (The Hechinger Report)

Why futility is important in medicine Sai folmsbee

value in what physicians practice. Even the philosopher Albert Camus, in his essay “The Myth of Sisyphus,” wrote that Sisyphus should be able to find happiness in futility. He argues that the struggle alone should be enough to fill one’s heart. And there is no greater struggle than the one between life and death. By embracing and understanding this inherent challenge to medicine early, we can achieve a real kind of personal satisfaction operating within the health care system. Small gains in the quality of a person’s life and comfort in times of illness are an important part of any physician’s practice. Accomplished doctors do not measure their success in the number of lives saved, but rather in the struggle itself to improve the quality of the lives of patients. Understanding and accepting futility is the most vital task for anyone planning a career in medicine. If medical students and physicians face this futility without accepting it, all that is left is frustration and the inevitable burnout. This can manifest in potentially damaging ways, such as losing respect for patients, feigning interest in their care or forgoing common courtesy because of blase disregard for the consequences. We are all brave enough to face an infinite number of boulders to push up a hill, but future physicians need to be strong enough to witness them all falling back down.

enemy of medicine, but he knows something most of us do not accept: Death cannot be cured. Death is the inevitable end to life. But more importantly, choosing the elimination of death as our primary pursuit leaves us with nothing but frustration and doubt. All we have left is the tedious management of regimens of medication and novel arrays of diagnostic tests, but even these can become sunken in futility. This forces physicians into a barrage of repetitive, Sisyphean tasks: rearranging the dosages on heart failure medications, ordering another blood test with no clear purpose or reflexively adding new drugs without a concern for the evidence of their efficacy. To further the strain, patients too can become similarly lost in futility. Some will never take their medication, never show up for their appointments or never even understand their own health care. Others will never quit smoking, never exercise or never change their diet. For physicians trying to help as many people as they can, it is easy to watch the boulders roll away over and over again. But importantly, there is still hope in futility. Someone must be there to roll the rock back up, and this is the truest

Kelsey O tt

From the perspective of a student interested in a future in health care, medicine is a difficult career to imagine. Perhaps some had a close family member suffer some major illness, and maybe others had the opportunity to shadow a physician in the hospital. More often though, premedical students have a vague interest in human biology and the challenge of medicine, and, like anyone, they have a healthy fear of death. And to fight death, what better to become than a doctor? But here is an important truth for anyone planning a career in medicine: The medical fight against death is an exercise in futility. The career path for a future physician parallels the Greek myth of Sisyphus. According to legend, his greatest trick was paralyzing Thanatos, the personification of death, thereby preventing any mortal from dying. For this and many other transgressions, the gods set upon Sisyphus a unique and tortuous punishment. He was forced to roll a large boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down again. He was to repeat this task for all eternity — the perfect embodiment of futility and uselessness. Unfortunately, most new medical students find themselves playing the role of Sisyphus, angered by the futility of their actions without realizing their own sin: desiring power over death. Futility is first seen in medical school, which is hard enough. Naturally, the sheer volume of material to learn and the number of exams are staggering, but within the medical school, the paradigm of the physician’s fight against death thrives. The value of all the drugs and procedures we learn are quantified only by their marginal reductions in mortality. Like Sisyphus, we all are trying to cure death for everyone. Medical students expect this power over Thanatos himself to arrive, but it never comes. In this way, Thanatos may be the

The dangers, reality of ‘hooking up’ Meera Patel

Daily columnist @soshaloni

It’s hard to reconcile the notion that bad things can happen to good people. The other night, I had dinner with one of my close friends. We were talking about embarrassing things we’d done since coming to college, and she told me about this one time freshman year when she “hooked up” with one of her good friends, even though she told him she didn’t want to. Wait a second, what? As a society, we may think of this as a “bad night.” The thing is, this wasn’t just a bad night. It wasn’t just a weird hookup. Something happened between two people, even though one of them was saying “no” and did not want it to happen. That is assault. What concerns me is the fact that many girls don’t recognize what has happened to them. My friend didn’t realize that what she did wasn’t her fault, and she had every right to say “no” to what was happening. Just because she was left alone at a party with a boy that she thought was her good friend doesn’t mean he had the right to take advantage of her. The statistic is that about one in five women are raped or sexually assaulted at least once in their lifetime, according to The New York Times. When I first heard this, I didn’t believe it. Rape

was something that happens to people down dark alleys, and I didn’t think it could ever happen to me. But it did. I went to a party with my friends one night and ended up alone, upstairs, with a guy I barely knew, and I’ll admit, I was OK with being there. But what I wasn’t OK with was him taking advantage of me, even though I said “no,” and literally having to Your emotions shove him off of me to are there for a get out of there. When someone reason. If you says “no,” it means feel bad after a no. If you say “no,” have every right hookup, that’s you to have your decision telling you respected. It doesn’t matter what the cirsomething. cumstances are, who said what about this person or if he or she is not your best friend; if he or she is not respecting your wishes, you need to get out of there fast. I know this may seem redundant to some people. But even if you are an expert on sexual violence, you may not recognize it if it happens to you. My friend didn’t recognize what happened to her until she finally told someone (me). We’ve sat through so many presentations, we’ve had so many discussions on safety, we’ve been warned a thousand times about the dangers of rape. Yet she had no idea what had happened to her was categorized as assault. She didn’t understand why she felt terrible for a month after it

“

happened. I’ve come to think that being alone with someone is a sign of trust. I was terrified for a couple of months afterward of being alone with boys I didn’t know too well. I was constantly worried about what was “safe” and how many people could see me and recognize what I had done. I was convinced it was my doing, that something I was wearing or the way I wore my hair caused this to happen to me. Your emotions are there for a reason. If you feel bad after a hookup, that’s telling you something. It’s one thing if you think you made bad decisions; in that case, make a conscious effort not to make similar decisions again. But if you remember saying “no,” or having a feeling that something just wasn’t right and didn’t do anything about it, that’s another issue entirely. Why am I telling you this? Because I think it’s stupid that people brag about how many people they’ve hooked up with. I think that if you like someone, you shouldn’t have to give them a few drinks to get their judgment all mixed up before you try to hook up with them. I think it’s ridiculous that people our age don’t recognize a “no” when they hear it. The hookup culture at our campus leads people to think that assault is normal. It’s so common to have a “bad hookup” that people don’t recognize when something worse is happening. This needs to change. Meera Patel is a McCormick junior.

Recognizing Wildcat Welcome organizers

As we begin classes for the fall, we’d like to take a moment to recognize the exceptional efforts of the people who pulled out all the stops to welcome our new Wildcats to campus. This year’s phenomenal Wildcat Welcome came complete with a redesigned introduction to Chicago and our traditions, a brandnew first-year experience program, and a Mental Health Essential NU. The heavy lifting of transitioning 2,000-plus new students to Northwestern was propelled by the hard work and passion of many Student Affairs staff and students, who sacrificed sleep and any sense of normalcy for weeks to prepare our community and campus before move-in day. The list of every Northwestern community member The involved in making dedicated, Wildcat Welcome a success would be passionate quite lengthy — people of NSFP another testament to the determination and Wildcat of the Office of New Welcome are Student and Family charged with the Programs and the Wildcat Welcome difficult, weighty Board to include task of selecting, our numerous and diverse communities shaping and and perspectives in presenting these the latest iteration of influences — our annual orientation experience. and this year, We want to espethey once again cially highlight the unflagging, infecperformed tious enthusiasm of brilliantly. the peer advisers, who maintained their smiles and Energizer Bunny-like energy through late nights, early mornings, and every 56-bus convoy trip in between.

We are particularly grateful to serve alongside the many PAs who are also involved in ASG. The perspectives, traditions, and experiences we are exposed to during Wildcat Welcome profoundly shape the remainder of our Northwestern experience, and can have repercussions far beyond. The dedicated, passionate people of NSFP and Wildcat Welcome are charged with the difficult, weighty task of selecting, shaping, and presenting these influences — and this year, they once again performed brilliantly and with the utmost care and creativity.

Cook County experts talk immigration reform By Bailey Williams

the daily northwestern @news_BaileyW

Cook County Commissioner Jesus “Chuy” Garcia and two other experts led a panel on immigration reform Wednesday night, addressing local issues as well as the congressional stalemate on a bipartisan deal that would outline a path to citizenship. Garcia said federal lawmakers need to evolve on modern issues, and immigration reform is no different. “Our legislators refuse to recognize the world as it is today,” he said. “They want to strive for what existed then. That’s a part of the mindset that is keeping us from coming to terms with the world today.” The discussion at Evanston Township High School, 1600 Dodge Ave., focused on how immigration reform benefits the economy, which elements of it most need attention and what role the state can play moving forward. Panelist Emily Love, an immigration lawyer in Evanston who deals primarily with Spanishspeaking clients, was the first to discuss President Barack Obama’s efforts concerning immigration reform. Love also gave specific examples that she has seen of individuals and families affected by the lack of immigration reform.

Norris instates temporary hours, deals By Michele Corriston daily senior staffer @MCorriston

In an email to The Daily, a Northwestern official wrote that North Shore Pizza Company will sell baked pasta from 3-7 p.m. beginning Thursday. The pizza will also be 50 percent off. The Indian food station in Willie’s Food Court will remain open until 7 p.m. “Since we were not able to open Subway in time for the new school year, we wanted to provide the following temporary options to the Northwestern community,” wrote James McHaley, director of marketing for Student Affairs. Steve Mangan, district manager for nuCuisine, said the modified hours are the result of a “joint decision” made Wednesday by the leadership at Norris. The changes came a day after The Daily reported that existing Willie’s Food Court stations were set to close at 3 p.m. this quarter — instead of the usual 7 p.m. — thanks to slow sales. Frontera Fresco, which touted late-night hours when it opened last year, will stop serving students at 7 p.m. instead of 10 p.m. Paws ‘n Go C-store and North Shore Pizza Company will maintain their hours of 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Subway — set to replace Windy City Deli, nuSushi and Big Ten Cafe — will boast later hours of 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. once it opens. Alex Van Atta, Associated Student Government executive vice president, told The Daily on Tuesday that ASG was not involved in the University’s decision to cut dinner hours. However, he said he spoke to Norris executive director Kelly Schaefer on Wednesday about giving students a say in future changes. “I think this is really reflective just of their willingness to work with students on making sure we are happy with our experience at Norris,” Van Atta said of officials introducing the new temporary options. “It’s all about making sure the right avenues are in place for making students’ opinions heard now.” Van Atta said he saw figures for traffic in Willie’s Food Court that confirmed business was slow. Fewer than 100 people purchased food per hour, he said. ASG will wait to determine whether Norris needs more late night options until after Subway opens, Van Atta said, noting that students can submit suggestions on Campus Voice or via email. Brad Stewart (Medill ‘13), Van Atta’s predecessor, took to Facebook to encourage students to reach out to ASG. “Though this doesn’t impact me anymore, this is really embarrassing for Northwestern University. For a University that claims to put undergraduates first, this is a disappointing and cheap maneuver,” Stewart posted earlier Wednesday about the restricted hours. “I hope Associated Student Government (ASG) takes up this issue and proves to students what a strong advocate for our student body it can be.” michelecorriston2014@u.northwestern.edu

Love went on to cite studies she has read, which assert that the cost of not passing immigration reform is higher than doing so. “Congress’s failure to pass immigration reform is costing our economy in productivity, tax dollars,” she said. Panelist Silvia Villa, who works with the Illinois Department of Human Services, spoke about Illinois Welcoming Centers, which offer educational services and employment training to immigrants. In response to questions on whether Welcome Centers are located near Evanston, Villa explained that there were not any yet, but discussions to open one in the northwest Chicago suburbs will start next month. Throughout the panel, Garcia emphasized his frustration with Congress over its lack of action concerning immigration reform. Near the end of the discussion, Garcia spoke of the bipartisan bill passed by the Senate in June. The bill, which would provide a 13-year track to citizenship, moved to the House, where a stalemate ensued because of an unwillingness to confront the problem, Garcia said. “The most important aspect of the bill that passed the Senate is that it offers a pathway to citizenship,” Garcia said. Responding to a question about the most urgent parts of immigration reform, Garcia said the country needs to accommodate families and communities without a sense of security that

New Block Museum hire hopes to unite community By Tyler Pager

the daily northwestern @tylerpager

Source: Block Museum of Art

a new face at NU Susy Bielak will serve as the associate director of engagement and curator of public practice at the Block Museum of Art. Bielakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job is intended to better connect the musem to the Northwestern and Evanston communities.

Despite the temporary closure of the Block Museum of Art, one new hire is already focusing on ramping up the facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communication and education efforts. Beginning next month, Susy Bielak will serve as the associate director of engagement and curator of public practice, a newly created position in charge of the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education and communication efforts. The job will entail duties such as spearheading social media efforts and initiatives to connect the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art collection with the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I bring an approach to programming and communications that embraces thought-provoking and interdisciplinary content, experimental and participatory formats, multiple voices and perspectives, and throughout, a focus on bringing artist, campus and community together,â&#x20AC;? Bielak wrote in an email to The Daily.

Both a practicing artist and educator, Bielak has taught and displayed work across the country. Most recently, she was the associate director of public and interpretive programs at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. Bielak said she is excited to engage with the Northwestern community and looks forward to increased interaction among the museum, students and faculty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see students and faculty not only as primary audience members for the Block but as partners, ambassadors and collaborators with whom Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to engage in projects at the museum and on campus, in Evanston and Chicago, and online,â&#x20AC;? she said in the email. Lisa Graziose Corrin, the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director, said Bielakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position was partially created to reach out to students more effectively. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to use totally different strategies than we have used in the past,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to think and structure your outreach using the strategies that students use themselves.â&#x20AC;? Although the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s galleries are closed for maintenance until January, a lounge and study

area for students called the Block Spot will open Oct. 16. Both Bielak and Graziose Corrin said they were excited about the Block Spotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential as a social hub on campus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Block Spot speaks to the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role as a place for social, artistic and intellectual worlds at Northwestern to come together,â&#x20AC;? Bielak said in the email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The design was born out of recommendations from a Northwestern undergraduate class â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a very tangible example of how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in integrating students, faculty and curriculum into the fabric of the museum.â&#x20AC;? Bielak will speak about her new position at the opening of the Block Spot in October. Graziose Corrin said she thinks the space will be a popular meeting spot for students and is eager for Bielak to bring energy and creativity to campus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She brings the rigor of a public intellectual, the practice of an artist and the energy of 10 people,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all going to learn from Susy.â&#x20AC;? tylerpager2017@u.northwestern.edu

Area activists keep eye on U.S. policy toward Syria By Kelly Gonsalves

the daily northwestern @kellyagonsalves

Almost two weeks after the United States scaled back its military threat against Syria, Chicago-area activists still question Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; motives and the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next steps. More than 150 Evanston residents gathered Sept. 9 in front of the office of Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), urging her to vote against President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed military action in Syria. Although the congressional vote was put to rest with Syrian President Bashar al-Assadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s promise to give up his stockpile of chemical weapons, activist leader Dickelle Fonda said peace advocates nationwide â&#x20AC;&#x153;havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exhaled yet.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re certainly not sitting back on our rears and saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wow, we solved that one!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just waiting,â&#x20AC;? said Fonda, who organized the Evanston protest with the North Shore Coalition for Peace and Justice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been around long enough to realize that sometimes not everyone plays by the same rules, including the United States.â&#x20AC;? Fonda said the coalition and similar groups worry the U.S. had â&#x20AC;&#x153;another agenda going inâ&#x20AC;? when it first threatened Syria, citing the connection between the war in Iraq and U.S. oil needs. The coalition members are still waiting to see whether ulterior motives may sabotage a diplomatic solution being worked out by the United Nations, she said. However, Syrian-Americans in Chicago sing a different tune. Eman Sahloul, 21, co-founder of Syrian Orphans, a Chicago-based organization that aims to help child victims of the Syrian

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re certainly not sitting back on our rears and saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wow, we solved that one!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just waiting. Dickelle Fonda, activist leader

civil war, said she doubts Assad will move forward with transitioning his chemical weapons into international hands and thus advocates for immediate U.S. intervention in Syria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From an American perspective and from a Syrian perspective, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in our interests to intervene and get this regime out of power because the chemical weapons are very accessible,â&#x20AC;? Sahloul said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anybody can get their hands on them.â&#x20AC;?

Sahloul is the daughter of Syria-born parents, and her father narrowly escaped former Syrian President Hafez al-Assadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s massacres in 1982. Her extended family still lives in Homs, a frequent target of military attacks, and 14 of her family members have been killed in the war. During the Evanston rally, she and a small group of counter-protestors handed out informational flyers encouraging people to support military strikes in Syria. Activists on both sides of the debate emphasized they will be back on the streets if U.S. makes another move contrary to their interests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it happens again, if the United States pulls out of this, and they back up and have some sort of excuse or reason why they need to bomb, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be out there again,â&#x20AC;? Fonda said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will organize again, just as we did then.â&#x20AC;? kellygonsalves2016@u.northwestern.edu

Kellogg alumnus opens new auto repair shop By Patrick Svitek

daily senior staffer @PatrickSvitek

A Northwestern graduate marked the official opening of his auto shop Wednesday evening by taking city officials on a tour of the west Evanston facility. Adnan Hassanali (Kellogg ‘12) cut the ribbon on Sam’s Auto Repair & Body Shop, 2311 Main St., with Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl and Ald. Peter Braithwaite (2nd). We’ll physically The building features a paint-mixing room, bring you in Environmental Protechere and show tion Agency-friendly lift systems and a paint you what’s booth that heats cars as wrong with they dry, leaving them your car. with what Hassanali calls Adnan Hassanali, “that shiny glaze.” He touted the shop’s auto shop owner attention to its customers, saying he often walks them through their vehicle’s problems in the garage rather than explaining sometimes complicated issues in the waiting room. “We’ll physically bring you in here and show you what’s wrong with your car,” Hassanali said. “We try to always keep customers informed, even

if they don’t want to get it fixed here.” He pointed to the paint-mixing room as another standout part of the facility. Other shops may have to order color combinations from car companies, potentially increasing customers’ wait time, Hassanali said. Tisdahl joked with Hassanali that his position is the job she has always wanted — “playing with paint.” “I’m going to try to keep from using your services, but it’s great to see,” she told him at the end of the tour. Hassanali said he hopes to offer free roadside assistance training for senior citizens, a service he planned while working for another shop near Loyola University Chicago. “It’s a big push that we do for seniors,” he said. “They shouldn’t be stranded on the side of the road.” Sam’s Auto Repair & Body Shop moved into the space last summer but was not fully functional until June, partly due to the licensing process for the paint-mixing room, Hassanali said. He credited Kellogg with giving him the drive to stick with the business as it started to take shape. “My professor was always like, ‘Set up a project, give it a deadline,’” Hassanali said. “It kept me on task.” The auto shop is open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. patricksvitek2014@u.northwestern.edu

Play exploring Steve Jobs’ life, legacy to come to Tech By Paige Leskin

the daily northwestern @paigeleskin

A play detailing the life of Steve Jobs and the growth of Apple under his leadership is coming to the Technological Institute on Friday, as part of an engineering professor’s continuing effort to merge science and theater. The production is presented by the Engineering Transdisciplinary Outreach Project in the Arts, a program run through the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. In its sixth season, ETOPiA sponsors an annual free play for the Northwestern community. The organization was created by McCormick Prof. Matthew Grayson, who is in the electrical engineering and computer science department. He said he sees his teaching position as a way to unite these subjects with theater.

“We’re trying to communicate science to the public,” he said. Titled “The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs,” the play explores Jobs’ role as CEO of Apple and how he transformed the company and the technological world. It also looks at the labor processes used to make Apple products. Grayson, who said he chose the play based on its relevance to the community, described the play as both “retrospective on the history of Apple and Jobs” and “critical of the (Jobs) era.” The piece being performed at Tech is a revised version of the original, a monologue written by performer Mike Daisey. Daisey was criticized for the play when it was revealed that some portions were fabricated after National Public Radio’s show “This American Life” aired an excerpt. Grayson said he expects the play’s focus on Apple products’ labor processes to create a lot of talk. He stressed that it will show audience

members how much they take these processes for granted. Weinberg sophomore Karsh Sahay said he is interested in seeing how the play illustrates Apple’s place in influencing labor processes. “Apple has to (strike) the balance between human capital and technological innovation, but all in all, this company can’t be blamed for the actual society that allows this practice,” he said. The play will be directed and performed by award-winning Chicago actor Lance Baker. Grayson praised Baker, saying he is “very educated in the nuances of the performance.” Baker’s stage will be a small lecture hall in Tech that seats only 90 people, an atypical performance spot. But Grayson said this is “part of the charm” of the production. “You need one performer, one audience member, and you have theater,” he said. The set-up includes minimal lighting and

set dressing, but Grayson emphasized that only these small changes are needed to transform the space. Grayson said he understands Tech is not primarily known for theater, and he uses that fact to his advantage. By creating a “series of unexpected events,” Grayson said he hopes to create a dialogue among audience members. To facilitate these conversations, each performance will be followed by a discussion led by various panelists, including Grayson and other professors. McCormick senior Sam Toizer said he is attending the play. He said he was pleased with last year’s ETOPiA play and has read Jobs’ biography. “Jobs is a crazy intelligent person and had a really awesome life story,” he said. The play will run Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. until Oct. 20. paigeleskin2017@u.northwestern.edu

Humanities festival comes to campus

Several well-known writers, including Junot Diaz, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao,â&#x20AC;? are headed to Northwestern on Oct. 13 for the Chicago Humanities Festival. Known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Morry and Dolores Kohl Kaplan Northwestern Day,â&#x20AC;? the event features 10 different talks from several speakers ranging from journalists to curators to NU professors. Diazâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk, called â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is How You Find Him,â&#x20AC;? will focus on love in fiction.

Titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Discoverâ&#x20AC;? after one of the four pillars in NUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategic plan, the project will be curated by the Office for Research, along with faculty from NUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different departments and schools. The website will be updated continually to reflect new discoveries in 10 different areas of NU research.

The changes, including early closures at Willieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Food Court, took effect at the start of this academic year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working with the administration right now to extend some hours to make sure that Subway is an option for students later,â&#x20AC;? Kottenstette said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is our goal to provide students with the best possible services. â&#x20AC;Ś When we started hearing that people are upset that Norris dining is closing at 3 p.m., obviously that was something that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really receptive to, and that shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happening.â&#x20AC;? sophiabollag2016@u.northwestern.edu

APU

From page 1 players from across the country, in which they came up with the idea for the APU armbands. The senior, who has spoken about mistreatment of college athletes in the past, said Wednesday that the APU movement is not about one particular issue but that post-college medical care is an important one for him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the biggest issues is that I feel like there needs to be a guarantee that players arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stuck with medical bills after they leave,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With long-lasting injuries that they suffer from football, essentially theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being hurt on the job, and then theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stuck with the medical bills if they do need a surgery or something down the line.â&#x20AC;? A federal antitrust lawsuit originally filed in 2009 by former University of California Los Angeles basketball star Ed Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Bannon alleges the NCAA, EA Sports and Collegiate Licensing Co. violate antitrust laws by using player likenesses in video games without compensating the athletes. The NCAA has also come under fire for profiting from jersey sales and television revenue, again to no financial gain for the players. Some fans and commentators also advocate paying athletes salaries on top of their scholarships. Fitzgerald, who attempted to limit Colterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time with the media Wednesday, said he supported the quarterbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s APU stance but wished Colter had raised the issue through usual team channels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We discuss things that happen as a team through our leadership council, and typically

IGNITE programs will also include larger events such as trips to Chicago, and students are encouraged to attend campus events such as plays or speakers, with prize drawings as incentives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to do what we do well during Wildcat Welcome throughout the school year,â&#x20AC;?

Colter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But in my perspective, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to ask permission to be able to do something, just because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance it could be shot down. The whole APU thing, it goes against having to ask permission to voice our opinions.â&#x20AC;? Colter would not say whether he will wear the APU initials for future games but indicated he would be more likely to continue if the protest became a team effort. He said the NCPA does not have any other protests currently planned, but the organization is pushing the hashtag â&#x20AC;&#x153;#APUâ&#x20AC;? on social media and spreading an online petition denouncing â&#x20AC;&#x153;unjust NCAA rules that leave college athletes without basic protections.â&#x20AC;? Regardless of his future public involvement with the NCPA, Colter said he will stand by his opinions and is happy with the attention the movement has received. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just glad itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sparking conversation now,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to have any individual benefit from this.

Men’s Golf

Fitzpatrick: From U.S. Amateur Champion to NU student By josh walfish

daily senior staffer @JoshWalfish

On Nov. 14, 2012, Northwestern announced it had signed the 11th best amateur golfer in the world. The player was Matt Fitzpatrick, and on that date his best win was the British Boys Amateur Championship. Some 303 days later, Fitzpatrick teed off for the first time as a member of the Wildcats, but when he hit his first shot he was a marked man. “We knew he was going to be a great player,” coach Pat Goss said. “Did I think he could be the best amateur in the world by the time he came here? I don’t know if I ever thought about it, but I did think he would continue to improve and make a significant impact on our program.” In the months after signing his letter of intent to come to Evanston, Fitzpatrick has set the golf world on fire. It all started when he won the Silver Medal at The Open Championship as the low amateur, finishing in a tie for 44th after finishing 10-over-par for the entire tournament. After beating some of the best professionals in the world, Fitzpatrick finished second in the England Men’s Amateur Championship. However, he may have saved some of his best

golf for last. Fitzpatrick came in with the third best score in the stroke play portion of the U.S. Amateur Championship and then won six match-play contests to win the event. He finished his summer by being part of the Great Britain and Ireland team at the 2013 Walker Cup, the biannual matchup between the best amateurs in the United States and Great Britain and Ireland, winning three of his four matches, although the United won the competition. It may have been a great summer on the course, but Fitzpatrick said it was a lot to deal with off the green. “(The worst part has been) just being busy and not having time to sit down and, especially since I’ve been here, not having time to speak to family and friends back home,” Fitzpatrick said. “Other than that, I’ve loved every minute, and it’s just nice to have a change in what I’ve been doing at home.” Senior Jack Perry played in the U.S. Amateur at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass., and saw firsthand the conditions that Fitzpatrick had to face to win his title. Perry said it gave him much more of an appreciation for his teammate’s accomplishment and talked about how well the course played to Fitzpatrick’s strengths. Perry and Fitzpatrick are expected to be a formidable duo for opposing teams to deal with, and both Goss and Perry said the formula played out

Volleyball

well at the Windon Memorial, where Perry finished second and Fitzpatrick third. The senior said he was not intimidated by Fitzpatrick’s success and will take the opportunity to try to improve his game by playing alongside the U.S. Amateur champion. “You can either look at it like he’s taking my No. 1 spot or take it as a challenge and someone to learn from,” Perry said. “It’s definitely fun to have him on the team and see what I can learn from him and see if we can egg each other on to be better and better.” Perry said he received a lot of questions about Fitzpatrick during the first two tournaments, with other players curious about what the U.S. Amateur is like. He said he just tells people he’s a “great player,” keeping up the mystique of tee-ing off against the world’s best. After playing at the Windon on Monday, Fitzpatrick has a break from competition for the first time in a long while. The freshman dove headfirst into classes, which began Tuesday, and said with all the chaos of the summer, he actually was looking forward to starting school — even if he doesn’t know what he’s majoring in yet. “It’s going to be different, that’s for sure,” Fitzpatrick said. “It’s all new to me, and I don’t have much idea what to expect.” joshuawalfish2014@u.northwestern.edu

Caroline Niedospial manages the Cats’ defense as their libero. “We’ve been working on blocking and that’s really improved, that makes my job a lot easier,” she said. “We prepared well in preseason, and I know we’re all really excited to go out there and start Big Tens.” This is only the beginning of a challenging conference slate, as the Cats are set to face a ranked opponent in 16 of 21 Big Ten matches. In this case, a rousing start to conference play might have some importance. “Every Big Ten opponent can beat everyone,” Chan said. “This weekend, we want to put ourselves

in a great situation for the first weekend at Big Tens, especially at home. We know what we have to do, and, again, we’re looking forward to this chapter of the season.” As for that match against Nebraska, it’s definitely a bit personal. “We beat them freshman year, we lost to them sophomore year, now this is kind of the tiebreaker,” Akanbi said. “It’s really exciting to come in, show them what we got and know that we can beat them again like we beat them in 2011.” kevincasey2015@u.northwestern.edu

to make big saves in crucial moments gives the defense a lot more leeway to be aggressive and join the attack. “It is always nice to know that no matter the consequences, Maddy’s still back there, and she still can make unbelievable saves and pull them off when you don’t think she can make it,” McCarthy said. “It’s a really nice safety net to have and gives us confidence to play a little more risky and play more of an attacking style of play.” There are still some areas of the defense that need to be corrected, one of which reared its head in the win over Duke last week. The Cats led 2-0

at halftime, but the Blue Devils scored 42 seconds into the second half and eventually tied the game with 11 minutes and 20 seconds left to play. Fuchs said they have worked on remedying those mistakes as NU begins its Big Ten schedule this weekend when No. 14 Iowa and Michigan visit Evanston. She said it will be important for her defense to continue playing as well as it has, especially given how little separates each team in the conference. “Everybody’s even,” Fuchs said. “We have a lot of depth and a lot of quality players, but we need to show up and really protect our field and just do the simple well.” joshuawalfish2014@u.northwestern.edu

Cats kick-start Big Ten play on home court No. 12 Nebraska vs. Northwestern

A tie-breaker with Nebraska and a strong Iowa await NU By KEVIN CASEY

the daily northwestern @KevinCasey19

The Wildcats sealed a three-match sweep Sunday night at Welsh-Ryan Arena and will have the chance to further that home court dominance as conference play starts. Northwestern (8-4) kicks off its Big Ten schedule with a two-game home stand Friday and Saturday, facing down Nebraska and Iowa, respectively. The Cornhuskers are currently No. 12 in the country, a challenge that coach Keylor Chan revels in rather than shies away from. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a team thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletic and will play really good volleyball,â&#x20AC;? Chan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking forward to the challenge. If we want to be one of those teams, you have to play these teams, and we have to show that we can compete and win.â&#x20AC;? The battle may be one of special intrigue. Nebraska is a historic powerhouse with a high ranking. But the greatest

Evanston 7 p.m. Friday

source of anticipation may stem from the last time these squads met in Evanston, when NU found itself up against the No. 2 Cornhuskers and beat mighty Nebraska in four sets. That was 2011, and two years later the Cornhuskers lineup, namely with transfer Kelsey Robinson in the fold, has a much different makeup. But some things have not changed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes you just match up well with some teams, and you know thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a certain comfort level with playing certain teams,â&#x20AC;? Chan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our team likes to play Nebraska. They love a good challenge, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Nebraska represents. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a team we have an immense amount of respect for.â&#x20AC;? NU has more than one opponent to focus on. Nebraska is the more formidable squad, but the Cats cannot take Iowa lightly. A team Chan characterized as a ballcontrol squad, the Hawkeyes actually have a better record than the Cats: 9-3. NU will need full performances from senior outside hitter Stephanie Holthus, who was named Big Ten and Division I

National Player of the Week for her MVP efforts at the Wildcat Classic, and freshman setter Caleigh Ryan, who received the Big Tenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Setter and Freshman of the Week awards for her play in the same tournament. Other players will need to step up as well. Junior outside hitter Monica McGreal did that last week with 2.55 kills per set, a mark more than double her previous season average of 1.27. Yewande Akanbi came up with crucial late-set kills last weekend and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t downplay their significance against two tough opponents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important to focus in any match, any set on closing and making sure you push all the way through,â&#x20AC;? the junior outside hitter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Getting those last couple of kills at the end can really make a difference in matches like these.â&#x20AC;?

NUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense leads the way Cats seek to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;make amendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Friday By JOSH WALFISH

daily senior staffer @JoshWalfish

Offense is generally a lot more exciting to talk about than defense. The statistics are more quantifiable, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the team that scores the most that ends up winning the game. However, the defense is just as important to a squadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success as the offense. So it comes as no surprise that the names of sophomore defender Lisa McCarthy and midfielder Charlotte Martin are less well-known than the likes of senior forward Nikki Parsley and midfielder Tara Puffenberger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our defense has been as solid as its been since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here,â&#x20AC;? said coach Tracey Fuchs, who took over the team in 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so much more poised, so now when we get the ball on defense, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t panic and give it right back to them. We take our time, and we find the seams and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right back on the attack.â&#x20AC;? Last season, Northwestern gave up 1.35 goals per game in 20 contests overall, but that statistic rose to 2 goals per game in just six conference games. Teams scored on 14.5 percent of their shots against the Cats, and NU allowed 9.3 shots per game. All of those numbers have gone down this season, with conference play still looming this weekend. In 2013, the Cats have limited teams to .98 goals per 70 minutes, 8.4 shots per game and a 12 percent scoring rate. At the heart of No. 15 NUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive resurgence has been three underclassmen whose performances have evolved with another year of

Behind their efforts, the Cats rank fifth in goals against average, and Carpenter is 17th in the nation in save percentage, stopping 34 of the 44 shots she has faced.

Coming off a loss to Penn State in its Big Ten opener, Northwestern (2-5-2) must find a way to beat Nebraska (6-2-1) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a feat the Wildcats have not accomplished the last two times the teams met. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Nebraska) was a tough game and our Big Ten opener last year,â&#x20AC;? coach Michael Moynihan said. The last time NU beat Nebraska was in 2008, before Moynihan was head coach and any of the current players were on the team. He first faced Nebraska during the 2012 season, when the Cornhuskers topped the Cats 2-0. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, we need to make amends for last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss,â&#x20AC;? Moynihan said. Although the Cats lost 3-2 to the Nittany Lions on Friday, they have proved they are here to play in the Big Ten. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was really proud of them,â&#x20AC;? Moynihan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was encouraging to see the girls went into the game knowing if they did what they were supposed to, they had a shot at winning.â&#x20AC;? In the past, Penn State has led the Big Ten with relative ease. Last year, the Nittany Lions did not fall once to a conference team, and they were the runner-up in the 2012 NCAA Tournament. In 2010, the team went 8-2 in conference play and shared the Big Ten Champion crown. Senior forward Kate Allen scored her first two goals of the season against the Nittany Lions. Although they marked the captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first goals of the season, getting

a ball to the back of the net against Penn State was no easy task â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it has only let up 15 goals in nine games, while scoring 27 times on its opponents. Last year against Nebraska, Allen led the Cats with three shots on goal, but the Cornhuskers shut them out. On Friday, the Cats face a Nebraska team on a four-game winning streak that scores nearly twice for every opponent goal and averages 2.11 goals and 20 shots per game. Despite the Cornhuskersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; winning record, they have yet to chalk up a visiting win. The Cats, on the other hand. have defended the home turf well with a 2-1-1 record. Freshman goalkeeper Jenna Hascher will have to bring out her A-game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jenna has emerged as the most consistent goalie this season and has been doing well,â&#x20AC;? Moynihan said. Hascher had a career-high 11 saves against Penn State on Friday and a total of 37 on the season. She started the season with more than 100 shutout minutes and has already had three shutouts through nine games. So far, Hascher has only allowed six balls to pass her.
