Multiple lockouts to result in charges On-campus students will have to pay $10 after first lockout

By AMY LI

daily senior staffer

Residential Services began charging students $10 dollars for each temp card issuance after their first lockout at the beginning of the academic year, sparking student outcry against what many consider an unnecessary cost.

“Charging for lockouts is a common practice among many of our peer institutions,” Residential Services wrote in an email to The Daily. “The $10 fee for each lockout beyond the first, which is complimentary, is in line or lower than these peers.”

The lockout fee is a new policy for the 2019-2020 academic year. Students who do not return their temp cards within 24 hours of checkout will also have $25 fee automatically charged to their student cards. The fee will not be refunded if the temp card is returned.

Rather than emailing the announcement to students

living on campus, Residential Services provided students with a handout when they moved in. The email, from Assistant Director of Operation and Services Jenny Douglas and Desk and Access Manager Alejandro Domínguez, said the office aimed to provide incentives for students to use temporary cards only as needed, improving “safety and security.”

Students who were unaware of the fee — some of whom are low-income — have taken to Twitter to express their thoughts after hearing about the policy change.

Medill junior Maia Brown said the changes felt “cruel and punitive.” She said she didn’t understand why the office is demanding a fee for a student attempting to access rooms that they have already paid for.

“It’s entirely for profit,” Brown said. “I feel like it’s just another way to screw lowincome students on campus.”

Brown added that though the University frames the $10 fee as an insubstantial one, costs can quickly incur throughout the quarter — and for low-income students, the » See LOCKOUT, page 8

Mayor focuses on diversity Groups name 2020 priorities Latinx residents share hopes for more representation

Evanston political orgs. zone in on election issues

Evanston officials encouraged Latinx community members to apply for city boards and discussed Latinx issues at an information session Thursday.

In an effort to increase representation in the town’s political body, Mayor Steve Hagerty and Deputy City Manager Kimberly Richardson spoke about the importance of diversity and explained the application process for city boards. The event, hosted at the Lorraine H. Morton Civic Center, also honored Hispanic Heritage Month, according to the city’s website.

With the 2020 Democratic Primary debates stirring discussion around issues facing America, Evanston residents weighed in on what they believe are the most important issues to them, both nationally and locally, heading into election day next year.

According to the Evanston Township GOP, the Democratic Party of Evanston and Indivisible Evanston, the most consequential topics include healthcare, climate change, taxes and the reelection or defeat of President Donald Trump in the 2020 election.

GOP all acknowledged that Evanston is overwhelmingly Democratic — typically 80 percent or more of the vote goes towards the Democratic candidate in an election race.

Therefore, each group stressed that the issues they will focus on this election season are national issues that go beyond Evanston, including healthcare or electing candidates in more competitive districts.

Blair Garber, the committeeman for the relatively small Evanston GOP, talked about how the organization has had a keen focus on state and local taxes going into 2020.

Garber and the Evanston GOP were especially concerned about the Illinois Graduated Income Tax Amendment — a progressive income tax

amendment — which will be on the 2020 Illinois ballot as a constitutional amendment.

The amendment is a tax policy proposed by Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker that would tax Illinois residents’ income at 7.99 percent for citizens earning more than $750,000 annually.

“It’s going to basically blow the lid off Illinois,” Garber said.

“People are going to be leaving (Evanston) in droves. It’s basically a doomsday scenario.”

But he acknowledged the Evanston’s GOP limited power in pushing their agenda.

“You know we live in a town that is basically a one-party town,” Garber said. “It’s not even close. There’s a fact that » See ISSUES, page 8

AROUND TOWN Illinois improves election security for 2020 election

By MOLLY LUBBERS

the daily northwestern

Following widespread foreign interference in the 2016 election, cities and counties across the United States — including Cook County — are actively working toward preventing election security breaches in preparation for the 2020 presidential election.

According to the Senate Intelligence Committee, Russian actors compromised the personal information of 76,000 Illinois voters in 2016. Still, the Illinois State Board of Elections found no data was “added, changed, or deleted” in the voter registration system, according to a press release on Aug. 31, 2016. Vote counting, which is a separate process during an election, was not affected. Still, this incident brought election security to the forefront of the political conversation.

Three years later, cyber defense measures and election infrastructure are now primary concerns for some interest groups and voters.

Indivisible Evanston, the local branch of an interest group dedicated to stopping President Trump’s reelection, created an election integrity division in Feb. 2019. The division’s work involves promoting bills and methods to improve election security in the hopes that people will feel better about casting their vote. “(We’re looking to) improve the level of confidence in the voting system so voters don’t wonder, ‘Does it matter what I’m doing?’That would be awful,” said Bob Best, a co-leader of Indivisible Evanston. “I mean if everybody said it doesn’t make a difference,

POLICE BLOTTER Hygiene products taken from CVS

A man was arrested Tuesday in connection with the theft of $218-worth of hygiene products from a CVS and possession of drug paraphernalia, the Evanston Police Department said.

The manager of the CVS Pharmacy, 101 Asbury St., reported at around 9:10 p.m. on Tuesday that a man had just left the store out of the rear exit with multiple items he had not

we wouldn’t have a democracy anymore.”

Confidence doesn’t just come from election security; it also comes from educating voters. Voters understanding their rights can increase voter turnout, according to political science prof. Benjamin Page.

Illinois’ election process is decentralized, which makes it more secure, according to Illinois SBE. Each designated voting area has a county clerk or election panel that individually runs polls and tallies ballots. Therefore, hackers would have to target many election authorities to change a substantial number of votes.

Beyond that, Cook County has tried to increase protections and plans to buy new voting machines, with the hope to have them before the March primary, according to the Chicago Tribune. The new Cook County machines, however, will cost $31 million from the state budget.

Nationally, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced the allocation of $250 million dollars toward national election security on Sept. 19.

Best said many argue that is not enough. Illinois alone would need $175 million dollars to replace election machines and materials, much of which is at least 15 years old.

Indivisible Evanston is also pushing for risklimiting audits. Most audits compare vote tallies to either the votes of a random sample of some precincts or a random sample of votes counted by particular machines. No matter the margin of winning votes, the number in the sample is the same. Risk-limiting audits instead determine the number of ballots by the margin

paid for, said Evanston police Cmdr. Ryan Glew.

Police arrived and saw a man wearing a tan jacket around the corner, who fled on foot once he saw the officers. Police gave a verbal command to stop the man from running, and the man surrendered “without further incident,” Glew said. The CVS manager identified the 30-year-old Chicago resident as the man she had seen earlier.

Police recovered the toiletries as well as a shopping cart, valued at $400, making the total

of victory. When the margin is bigger, fewer votes are reviewed, and when the margin is smaller, more votes are reviewed. This makes both a cost-effective audit and a higher confidence level, or reliability of accuracy, according to Best.

“The risk-limiting audit is a very fast, economical, and inexpensive way to check elections to uncover, not to prove if it’s right or wrong, but to uncover: is there a problem or not?” Best said.

No matter the voting system method, a risk-limiting

audit could catch a discrepancy in votes in a sample and votes tallied.

All these measures ultimately are there to provide security and ensure voters their vote counts, Best said.

Distrust may be one of the reasons why voter turnout in the U.S. is low, according to Best, but Cook County hopes voters feel safer participating in elections through improved measures.

“If there is a suspect, it’s the person who originally rented it,” Glew said.

A U-Haul employee reported on Tuesday that a truck rented in September was never returned, police said.

Unplugg’d wins The Garage’s contest

By STEPHEN COUNCIL

daily senior staffer @stephencouncil

Wildfire 2019’s Demo Day was fast approaching, and Nathan Graber-Lipperman hadn’t really worked on a pitch all summer. The Medill junior’s company, Unplugg’d, had a shot at thousands in prize money. Moving fast, he created a pitch video in three days, memorized the accompanying script and, on Demo Day in late August, presented his company to a board of six judges.

Later that day, The Garage handed GraberLipperman a $4,000 check.

Unplugg’d beat out the eight other teams in this year’s Wildfire Pre-Accelerator Program, a paid, summer-long opportunity for student founders to work on their startups with guidance at The Garage. At Demo Day, $11,000 in prize money was distributed among four of the teams.

The judges’ favorite, Unplugg’d, had pivoted its strategy during the summer, trimming down its offerings and turning to new revenue streams.

Unplugg’d came into the summer as the flagship website of Powder Blue Media, GraberLipperman’s LLC. By Demo Day, Unplugg’d was more of a lifestyle brand than a media outlet, focused on content, clothing, events and the mental health of Generation Z. “It’s interesting, a lot of people congratulating me after seeing I got first it was like, ‘Wow, you must have worked hard all summer,’” GraberLipperman said. “But it was like, regardless if I had won or not, we did work hard and we figured out what we wanted to do. And that was what was most important to us.”

Founded in 2017, Unplugg’d started as Graber-Lipperman’s space to publish longform sports and pop culture stories by young people — his “answer to clickbait.” The site then added podcasts, fitting into Graber-Lipperman’s plan to create as much content as possible. Last April, he founded Powder Blue Media as an LLC, with Unplugg’d, a podcast network, a video production

studio and a community submission forum all under the umbrella.

But this August, after spending July interviewing customers and launching a podcast on the student-athlete lifestyle, the Unplugg’d team honed in on the brand’s prospective plan.

Graber-Lipperman ended up naming Patreon crowd-funding, events, podcast sponsorships and merchandise sales as revenue sources in his pitch, adding to over $20,000 in projected revenue by December 2020. Unplugg’d is now both a company brand and a website for the team’s content.

At least 10 percent of the merchandise proceeds will go to mental health organizations, the founder said. But there’s also an emphasis on the authentic conversations Graber-Lipperman heard about in his interviews with customers — he said those in-person connections are missing in modern media consumption. The events are a key here — Unplugg’d is planning to run panel discussions, live podcasts and meetups called Unpluggs.

Andrew Parkinson, an entrepreneur-in-residence

at The Garage this summer, became a mentor to the Unplugg’d team. He said he knew people were not taking the time to digest long-form media, or even have conversations with one another.

“When I met Nate, it all kind of clicked for me that he was doing something that was really important and innovative,” Parkinson said. “And he had two great team members as well.”

Karim Noorani, a Medill sophomore and former Daily staffer, and Owen Guetschow, a Medill junior, made up the rest of the Unplugg’d full-time Wildfire team.

Noorani said this summer’s transition felt natural for the team’s skill sets and interests.

“We want to be something that’s very different in the media sphere, because everything just feels like intense emotions and back and forth bickering and there really isn’t any great conversation,” Noorani said. “That’s the sphere we want to fill.” scouncil@u.northwestern.edu

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

It’s crucial to participate in the 2020 Census. The stakes are too high.

Once every ten years, we have a crucial opportunity to participate in our democracy: the census. With a more accurate census count, citizens are better represented in the government, and communities are provided with the resources they need.

Reporting for the census is especially

important in our home state of Illinois, where young people rank 47th in the country in participation in local elections and low voter registration rates continue to be a serious concern.

Participating in the census is a great way for the younger demographic to take a vital step in becoming engaged in our democracy. Illinois is currently at risk of losing at least one congressional seat as a result of the declining population, which would have a detrimental impact on citizens’ voice in government.

Data from the 2020 census will determine how congressional and state legislative district

lines will be redrawn, affecting the representation of communities throughout Illinois. 2010 Census data was used to allocate more than $800 billion in federal funding. Social services, including programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and Medicare, and even fire departments and public universities, all depend on this funding to effectively serve the communities that rely on them.

Reporting for the census is a quick and easy way to take an active role in our government.

Starting March 12th, you will be able to report online, by mail, or over the phone, using the

code that will be sent to your household. Everyone living in the U.S., regardless of citizenship status, are encouraged to report, and all information is kept confidential under the law by the U.S. Census Bureau.

This opportunity won’t come again until 2030, so let’s all complete our civic duty and help to ensure that Illinois is properly funded and that everyone is represented by the government.

— Ramona Bleasdale, University of Illinois at Chicago Student

Single-use plastic is bad. Single-use culture is worse.

ZACH BRIGHT

ASST. OPINION EDITOR

When you’re craving something late at night and get food delivered straight to your door, chances are, you aren’t thinking about all the packaging that your food comes in.

Aside from the meal itself, it probably looks something like this: plastic bag, plastic container, plastic utensils and often an exorbitant amount of napkins. After 10-15 minutes chowing down, you’re done, and everything goes in the trash. After several decades, you’re done — with life. The plastics? They’re here to stay, and that’s a problem.

The United Nations Environment Programme defines single-use plastics like your plastic fork or spoon as “items intended to be used only once before they are thrown away or recycled.” These include plastic bags, bottles, straws, cups and cutlery. Relatively inexpensive to producers while fairly convenient to consumers, these plastics have become

ubiquitous.

When recycled, their environmental impact may be negligible. But only 2 percent of global packaging waste actually gets effectively recycled. Of all 400 million tons of plastic produced globally each year, 36 percent comes from plastic packaging—the single-use material we’re talking about. In the United States, one-tenth of discarded items come from single-use plastics.

But when it comes to discussing these products, consumers bear the brunt of the blame. Corporations have made these singleuse plastics a crutch in people’s lives. Alternatives designed for a single use aren’t the answer. We need to change how we think about packaging.

With the existential threat of the climate crisis looming, people have decided that instead of plastics, alternative single-use items are the best way to go. Instead of plastic straws and bags, enter paper.

While these products don’t take as long as plastics to degrade, they’re still single-use. They require raw materials and energy to produce, almost always result in greenhouse gas emissions and eventually contribute to landfills at

the end of their short, single-use lives.

Eco-ventures have forged a more creative, research-oriented route, with businesses like Ooho, an alternative to water bottles that holds water in brown algae and calcium chloride mixture instead of the polyethylene terephthalate that most plastic bottles are made of.

But while such innovations might be promising down the line, single-use plastics and items can and should be dealt with immediately, like the climate crisis to which they contribute. And it’s possible. Their multi-use counterparts already exist and have for quite some time, and you probably know what they are. Rather than use a plastic fork, maybe just use the actual one you stole from Allison Dining Hall.

Some might argue that single-use plastics and products serve a purpose. In the medical field, plastics can be helpful in preventing infection, particularly in areas where sanitary conditions aren’t always guaranteed. But this makes up a sliver of the single-use plastics we’re talking about, the ones that are creating the patches of garbage floating in the ocean.

Now obviously, you aren’t going to bring a

Hydro Flask with you on your Friday nights out. But if you get a drink, keeping that cup for the whole night instead of just a couple of minutes is a first step in the right direction.

But these small steps in our own daily lives must be coupled with change at a higher level.

Moving forward, we must implement policy-centered solutions. Earlier in March, the European Parliament approved a single-use plastics ban on by 2021. This bold change is ideal, but at the very least, we should tax single-use plastic manufacturers at a higher rate.

The United States is behind. Here, a singleuse plastic ban should be considered at a federal level, with a transitional period and voluntary reduction strategies so that regions less equipped have the time and resources to adapt. Let’s put a dent in the climate crisis and make Greta Thunberg happy.

U.S. gov’t must ensure open access to ketamine infusions WESLEY SHIROLA

DAILY COLUMNIST

This is the third column in “Failed Policy,” a series examining the history of drugs and drug policy in the United States since its founding.

Ketamine, which is a drug most commonly used to induce and maintain anesthesia, was developed in the late 1950s and approved for use in humans in the U.S. in 1970, largely as an anesthetic for battlefield use in the Vietnam War. People began using it recreationally as well, first on the West Coast and, eventually, across the world. Subanesthetic doses, those lower than used medicinally, produce a state characterized by a sense of detachment from one’s body and the external world. As a result, the drug quickly became popular, especially on the dance and music scene in the mid-1980s. It is still used recreationally across the world.

Though no longer administered as frequently, ketamine still has several medical uses. Today, doctors use it as an anesthetic for minor operations in both hospitals and war zones, as well as for postoperative pain

management, where it may be used in low doses to reduce morphine use and limit postop nausea and vomiting. The World Health Organization includes ketamine on its List of Essential Medicines. Possibly as a result of its widespread medicinal use, it remains relatively cheap. Its street price per dose ranges from $20 to $25 on average.

Over the past few years, several studies finally concluded what researchers had suspected for years: Ketamine is effective in treating severe cases of depression, especially those including suicidal ideations. Dr. Kevin Kane, an anesthesiologist at a ketamine clinic in Milwaukee, told CNN that this might be “the biggest breakthrough in mental health in the last 50 years.” He goes on to estimate that ketamine is effective for 70 percent of patients with otherwise treatment-resistant depression.

Depression is a global health issue. Fortunately, ketamine can help combat this epidemic. As such, it is imperative that the U.S. government and governments across the globe impose price caps on the drug in order to ensure that all of those who need it can receive the treatment that may, in fact, save their lives.

At ketamine clinics, doctors administer the drug intravenously, and relief can occur within hours, including the cessation of suicidal ideation. Thus, ketamine-infusion treatment has

the possibility to be a life-saving treatment for millions of people every year.

Indeed, earlier this year, the New York Times reported that more than 40 percent of college students in the United States said they felt so depressed that their ability to function was significantly impaired. An estimated 16.2 million adults, or 6.7 percent of the U.S. adult population, suffer from at least one major depressive episode in any given year.

Globally, the WHO reported in 2017 that approximately 300 million people suffer from depression.

But the U.S. is already failing in this endeavor. Ketamine has been an extremely cheap drug for much of its existence due to its wide use and the fact that it isn’t covered by a patent. Nonetheless, Janssen, a pharmaceutical company, announced in March 2019 that it had patented the left part of the molecule, esketamine, which was not covered under the original patent, and that its newly FDAapproved nasal spray depression treatment, called Spravato, would be priced at $590 for a 56 mg dose and $885 for an 84 mg dose.

For the first month of the treatment, patients receive treatment twice a week with either size dose, leading to a wholesale cost ranging from $4,720 to $6,785. Patients may also need subsequent maintenance doses either weekly or

biweekly, adding an additional cost of $2,360 to $3,540 per month.

This, of course, is not necessarily the price that patients will pay. Out-of-pocket costs will depend on a patient’s health insurance plan.

But it’s unclear which insurance companies will cover the treatment, nor is it clear how much of the cost they will actually cover. Health insurance companies have fallen short when it comes to mental health care compared to other forms of illness. If the past holds any evidence of the future, ketamine treatments will not be entirely covered by insurance.

As promising as this new treatment may sound, it reveals a sickening reality of the U.S. healthcare system: profits over patients. As students, academics and (for a lot of us) patients, we must pressure the U.S. government to step in and control ketamine prices now before they balloon completely out of control as has so often happened with life-saving drugs and treatments in the past.

University sets search committee for new VP of Student Affairs

Northwestern announced Thursday the creation of a search committee to find a permanent vice president for Student Affairs to replace Julie Payne-Kirchmeier, who is temporarily filling the position after Patricia Telles-Irvin passed away in June.

Miriam Sherin, the associate provost for undergraduate education, will chair the committee, which will also include students such as Associated Student Government president Isabel Dobbel, staff and faculty. The committee includes representatives from many different schools and programs at the University, ranging from Student Enrichment Services to the Department of Athletics and Recreation.

Student navigate dining with allergies

By MAIA SPOTO

the daily northwestern

Isabelle Matthies was spreading peanut butter on her gluten-free toast last year when she noticed an unexpected seasoning: mold. Glutenfree bread spoils after sitting out for a couple of days, so someone wasn’t paying attention. The SESP junior said despite dining provider Compass Group’s efforts, mistakes still slip under the radar.

Like last Saturday, Matthies was eating in Foster-Walker East — a Pure Eats dining hall free of the top nine allergens — when she saw a smoothie that looked out of place.

“In the ingredients were greek yogurt and fatfree milk. And that’s not dairy-free,” Matthies said. “I was very upset.”

Compass Group said in an email that the smoothie was removed from the dining hall within 10 minutes.

“To ensure the safety of our diners in the future, manager and associate training is being conducted and reinforced for all Pure Eats stations and overall allergen awareness,” the email wrote.

Over the past year, three dining halls on campus have opened Pure Eats stations, which do not serve shellfish, fish, peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, soy, wheat, eggs and sesame, Compass Group wrote in an email to The Daily. A fourth dining hall, Foster-Walker East is the only that offers exclusively Pure Eats options.

However, Foster-Walker East is open in two shifts, between 11 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., which can cause problems.

“If you have classes, you’re screwed,” SESP junior Isabelle Matthies said. “The hours are entirely unpredictable at other stations.”

A list of ingredients always accompanies food served in the dining halls, but Weinberg freshman Ire Arogundade said they have their limitations.

“Sometimes the lists will just say ‘brownie mix and water,’ and then you can’t tell if the brownie mix has eggs,” Arogundade said, “so you just can’t eat it.”

Communications sophomore Harry Echtman said the Pure Eats menus lack variety, notably missing plant-based protein sources for vegetarian students and gluten-free desserts.

Evan Robinson-Johnson/Daily Senior Staffer

Compass Group opened Pure Eats stations across campus to serve food without the top nine allergens.

Some students have learned to navigate the limitations of Pure Eats stations. Medill freshman Vaibhavi Hemasundar said she opts for Allison’s grilled chicken, vegetables or salad bar.

“I’m actually healthier here than I am back home,” Hemasundar said. “I don’t feel nervous about going to the dining hall. There are some days where there are no entrees that I can have and I’ll just get a salad, but most of the time I’m good.”

In preparing to leave for college, Hemasundar said she was most worried about having an allergic reaction in front of her friends.

Dr. Ruchi Gupta, a food allergy researcher affiliated with the Feinberg School of Medicine, said Northwestern has a good system in place,

with leaders who care deeply about food allergies.

But in a setting with so much food served day after day, attention to detail is crucial in preventing potentially life-threatening allergic reactions.

Gupta partnered with the Segal Design Institute to develop plans and policies for college students with allergies. According to her study, Northwestern primarily needs orientation education to inform students on what an allergic reaction looks like and how to help.

“Educate your new friends,” Gupta said.

“Make sure people know what to look out for with an allergic reaction. Be proactive. Advocate for yourself.” maiaspoto2023@u.northwestern.edu

Scouting Nebraska’s Adrian Martinez

By PETER WARREN

daily senor staffer @thepeterwarren

After Northwestern pulled out a 34-31 overtime victory over Nebraska last fall, coach Pat Fitzgerald had two concluding notes on the Cornhuskers’ dual-threat quarterback Adrian Martinez.

While Fitzgerald said he was ecstatic to have the then-freshman in the rearview mirror for 2018, he was not excited to have to face him again over the next three years. Twelve months later, Fitzgerald still holds Martinez in high esteem. “(The Nebraska offense) starts obviously with Adrian,” Fitzgerald said Monday. “He took the conference by storm last year, and he’s just continued on this year.”

But Martinez is coming off arguably the worst performance of his career Saturday. With College Gameday in town for Nebraska’s contest versus No. 5 Ohio State, Martinez was 8-for-17 for 47 yards with three interceptions. He did have 81 yards on the ground, but taking out one 56-yard scamper, he averaged only 1.79 yards per carry.

It ended in a 48-7 beatdown on national television.

After losing to Wisconsin early in the afternoon, the Wildcats arrived back in Evanston during the second quarter of the game in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Once back on campus, senior defensive end Joe Gaziano watched the rest of the game, paying attention to the Buckeyes’ game plan.

Gaziano said Ohio State played some man-free defense — when a single safety covers the backside of the defense while the receivers are defended man-to-man — and doing so allowed other players to spy the quarterback. That coverage made it tough for Martinez to scramble, Gaziano said, and pressure from the edge forced Martinez to quickly make tough decisions.

While the Nebraska offense was anemic for most of the Ohio State game, one drive in the game set the Cornhuskers’ fans into a frenzy. On the third possession of the game, Martinez lined up under center, and Nebraska threw it back to the 1990s with some I-based option offense.

Dedrick Mills rushed for runs of 10 and 12 yards, and Martinez bolted for eight on one play, as they drove the ball into Buckeyes territory. Ohio State called a timeout to try to adjust and halt momentum. On the first play out of the timeout, Martinez lined up in shotgun and threw a pass that was tipped by his receiver and intercepted.

Down three possessions when they got the ball back, Nebraska had to move away from the I formation and go to a pass-based attack to get back in the game. But Nebraska coach Scott Frost — who led Nebraska to the 1997 National Championship running the I-based option — said the formation’s return was not a one-hit wonder.

“We’ve been working on it for a long time. Some of the things we’re running fit the defense that they gave us,” Frost said. “We’ll see more of that stuff going forward. I want that to be a piece of what we’re doing.”

In last year’s game, Martinez was 25 of 35 for 251 passing yards but only had 37 yards on the ground and threw two picks. One of those picks came in overtime, when safety JR Pace picked off Martinez’s pass in the endzone, setting up Drew Luckenbaugh’s game-winning field goal.

Remembering the loss, Martinez said he has grown since that game.

“I wouldn’t necessarily call it payback, but I am definitely aware of what occurred last year, and I think that was last year’s team’s problem,” Martinez said. “We are looking forward for another opportunity to get back on the field this week.” peterwarren2021@u.northwestern.edu

Kubiuk’s six-year odyssey to starting punter

By JONAH DYLAN

daily senior staffer @thejonahdylan

Dan Kubiuk’s journey to Northwestern’s starting punting job is so long and unique, it’s probably best to just let him tell you.

“Came in, walked on to the football team as a kicker, after that freshman season I switched over to quarterback and then after my sophomore season I actually switched over to baseball for spring, came back to football, I was a quarterback for another year, then it was my redshirt junior year… just trying to think about, ‘How can I get out on the field?’ And we didn’t really have a backup punter at the time, so I thought, I punted in high school, might as well give it a shot.”

There’s more, actually.

After Kubiuk became a punter, he served as Hunter Niswander’s backup for a year. Then, while preparing for the next season, he suffered a torn Achilles tendon in his kicking leg, the second time he’d torn that very tendon. So he sat out while Jake Collins took over punting duties, then came back for his sixth season and won the starting job this offseason.

It’s an unreal odyssey that leaves Kubiuk — who celebrated his 24th birthday earlier this week — as the oldest player on NU’s roster. As the Wildcats have struggled offensively this season, it’s meant more and more work for the Barrington native, who punted 10 times for 396 yards in Saturday’s loss at Wisconsin.

Kubiuk was a two-sport athlete in high school, starring as both a quarterback and a pitcher for Barrington High School. So when NU coach Spencer Allen gave him a chance to pitch during his sophomore year, he couldn’t say no.

“One of my lifelong dreams was to play college baseball,” he said. “I love football, I didn’t like being away from it but the opportunity came about, and I had to pursue it and give it one last shot because it was probably my last opportunity. So I’m very thankful for that opportunity. Pitched in a lot of cool stadiums, got to travel a lot, and it was just another incredible

experience.”

Special teams coach Jeff Genyk remembers Kubiuk “having a no-hitter going against Ohio State,” something Kubiuk disputes. For the record, he pitched 5.2 innings against the Buckeyes — but gave up a home run in the third inning. So there was a no-hitter, at least at some point.

After his one season on the diamond, Kubiuk decided to head back to the gridiron. And more so than the alleged no-hitter, Genyk is impressed with how hard Kubiuk has worked to get to this point on the football field.

“Well, it’s just an amazing accomplishment,” Genyk said. “To be here six years and go through double Achilles surgeries and to be able to play at this level is really a feat for our athletic training staff and a feat for his determination, as far as his rehab is concerned.”

In addition to punting, Kubiuk serves as NU’s holder, so he’s had to build up chemistry with long snapper Tyler Gillikin and kicker Charlie Kuhbander.

During practice, the specialists often spend long periods of time together while the offense and defense go through drills, so they have plenty of time to get on the same page.

Gillikin, who’s snapped for three punters in his three years as the Cats’ starter, said it’s comforting to have an athlete like Kubiuk back there in case something goes wrong. But chemistry is more important on a field goal attempt.

“I think we’ve developed chemistry, especially during camp,” he said. “That definitely does help, especially with the snap hold kick. That’s where the chemistry really needs to be, and I think we’ve done a really good job with that this year.”

For what it’s worth, Kubiuk is the only player left from the Trevor Siemian era. His college career will span six seasons and multiple sports, and he’ll be able to say he started games in both Haymarket Park and Camp Randall Stadium.

He also battled back from two catastrophic injuries, even going through a position switch as he continued to fight for playing time.

“Mentally it was tough,” he said. “The second one

was actually a bit tougher. It was a long rehab process over the past two years. Emotionally, physically, mentally, each day was draining, but I missed being out here so much that looking ahead was what got me through to this point.” jonahdylan2020@u.northwestern.edu

NORTHWESTERN WILDCATS vs.

NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS NORTHWESTERN

GAMEDAY

The Daily Northwestern

Friday, October 4, 2019

It really feels like déjà vu for Northwestern.

At this time last year, the Wildcats were 1-3, coming off a loss to a ranked Michigan team, in which they played better than expected, and heading into a road game against a good-but-beatable Michigan State team.

Before that Michigan State game, coach Pat Fitzgerald said he thought his team was “close” to putting things together. And he turned out to be right, as NU beat the Spartans to start a stretch of seven wins in eight games that propelled the Cats to the Big Ten West title.

A year later, here we are again. NU’s offense was abysmal last week against Wisconsin, directly spotting the Badgers 14 points, as the Cats fell to 1-3, and players and fans alike are searching for answers.

So, is NU “close” to turning it around again?

“Outside of self-inflicted wounds, I think we’re really close,” Fitzgerald said last Saturday. “There wasn’t a guy on that boundary who didn’t think we were going to win that game, all the way through the end. Our guys have great confidence and trust in themselves.”

But it will take more than confidence and trust to start winning games. This is actually the fourth year in a row the Cats have started slowly — NU has been 1-3 in three of those four seasons — but there was a common denominator among those teams that this one lacks: Clayton Thorson.

Thorson wasn’t a great college quarterback, but he was as consistent as they come. He always had the ability to make the Cats competitive and get the most out of offensive coordinator Mick McCall’s system.

None of the Cats’ quarterbacks this year have shown that ability. Both sophomore Hunter Johnson and junior Aidan Smith have looked lost at times running the offense and hesitant with their decision-making.

NU quarterbacks have completed just 47 percent of their passes — one of only nine FBS teams below 50 percent — through four games, with two receiving touchdowns and seven interceptions.

So it will take a dramatic improvement by the offense to get things moving in the right direction.

But this week’s opponent, Nebraska, might offer an opportunity for the unit to do just that.

The Cornhuskers could not be more different than last year’s defensive-minded Michigan State team. Nebraska is strong offensively, averaging 435 yards per game, but has struggled on the defensive side, most notably last week, when it was throttled 48-7 by a dominant Ohio State team.

With the Cats 0-2 in Big Ten play, another division title is all but out of the question. But that doesn’t mean NU’s season is over. A respectable bowl game is still well within reach, and with it, a chance to earn a fourth straight bowl victory.

A loss to Nebraska, however, would put the Cats in uncharted territory — they have never started 1-4 in Fitzgerald’s 13 years at the helm of the program. With the Buckeyes up next on the schedule, NU would face an extreme uphill battle just to make the postseason.

Someday, we might learn why the Cats have been such slow starters lately. The past, however, doesn’t matter now. NU still has a chance to get something out of this season. It has to start with a win this Saturday.

From page 1 of right-wing, anti-Democratic sentiment sweeping through the United States and Europe.

“The challenge to liberal democracy did not begin with Donald Trump, and it won’t end with Donald Trump,” Schiff said. “This is a global phenomenon that has many roots and posits.”

The chair of the House Permanent Select Committee cited instances of far-right mobilization in France, Brazil and Germany as evidence of this global gain of power for those who oppose liberal democracy.

LATINX

From page 1 illegal immigration. He said police are working to increase their role in protecting Latinx residents.

There are currently no Latinx people on Evanston’s City Council, though Evanston’s population is 11.5 percent Latinx, according to a 2017 census. The population is only increasing — in 2010, Latinx people only comprised nine percent of the population.

“We have responsibilities with maintaining constant and consistent communication with the Latino community,” Correa told The Daily. “We are hearing their needs, bringing those needs to the police department, providing them resources, providing them a voice.”

The city has said it will support immigrants in Evanston, both documented and undocumented.

In 2017, then-mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl affirmed Evanston’s status as a sanctuary city, which Hagerty has upheld since he took office in 2017.

This summer, after President Donald Trump authorized thousands of deportations across the country, Hagerty released a statement that reiterated his promise not to assist Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officers in the event of a raid. However, ongoing ICE raids have not reached Evanston.

“I want to make sure that people in this community know that you shouldn’t fear,” Hagerty said at the event. “We are a welcoming city. We are not

Douglas and Domínguez said in their email that Residential Services is “committed to working with students on an individual basis” when it comes to waiving fees for low-income students but did not share any specific policy to do so.

Schiff pointed to states that still do not have paper trails when counting votes in elections. He spent time disputing the idea that state election security is “a local affair” and that the federal government should “butt out.”

“The fact so many polling places in so many key states and jurisdictions still don’t have a paper trail is negligence,” Schiff said. “If a swing jurisdiction or a swing state screws it up because they don’t maintain good security of their technology, they screw it up not just for themselves. They screw it up potentially for their state and, indeed, potentially for their country.”

The discussion then moved to other topics, looking to turn people into ICE.” At the forum, city officials also discussed the 2020 Census. Earlier this summer, the Trump administration attempted to add a citizenship question to the Census, which he backed off on in July.

Richardson emphasized that she wants to ensure all immigrants feel comfortable completing the Census.

Beyond the Census, she said city officials need to continue their concerted effort to welcome Latinx residents, so they can feel inclined to join boards and committees.

“The people are not just going to go to a website and download an application (for city boards) and fill it out if they don’t feel that they’re part of the community,” Richardson said. “This effort is going to take time, but events like this are a way for us to continue to try to increase that diversity.”

Evanston Latinx leaders have planned several community outreach events in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, which ends on Oct. 15. On Thursday afternoon, the city government hosted its fourth annual Hispanic Heritage Month luncheon.

Correa said it’s the city’s responsibility to include Latinx people at a time where many fear persecution from government officials.

“We’re trying to say to the local government that there’s a community out there that we’re not engaging,” Correa said. “And by not engaging them, we’re alienating them.”

including news media, Trump and the impeachment inquiry against him.

Before the event began, President Morton Schapiro told The Daily he was excited to have students and the community hear from Schiff about his work as a congressman.

“I hope they get inspired by his service,” Schapiro said. “Also, I hope they get some appreciation of Dick Leopold, who was a fantastic professor here for 45 years, a great scholar and a great teacher.”

The lecture is named after Richard Leopold, who was a history professor for over 40 years, most of them at Northwestern. Former students, friends and colleagues formed the Richard W. Leopold Lectureship, which has hosted various speakers in politics, foreign policy and academia.

After the lecture, history Prof. Michael Allen asked Schiff a series of audience-written questions.

The Q&A took a dive through lighter and heavier topics, from Schiff discussing his favorite nickname given to him by Trump to his GOP colleague’s reactions to the whistleblower.

Jeremy Lipsitz (Weinberg, ’15), said at the end of the lecture, he found the mix of seriousness and humor interesting.

“This is like a big deal,” Lipsitz said. “This isn’t just a guy who you just want to hear some insights from.

This guy is involved, right now, with this whole process that’s affecting our entire nation and, by proxy, the world.”

that everyone is going to be discussing in the caucuses and as part of the convention,” Jordan said.

“We’re going to see a lot of young people pushing the environmental issues — climate change.”

Similarly to the DPOE, Indivisible Evanston’s main goal has been to resist Trump’s agenda by backing national candidates in Illinois and Wisconsin who promote a more progressive agenda.

Linda Tate (Weinberg ‘76), who co-leads the chapter of 650 Evanston residents, also said that like the DPOE, healthcare, climate change and election integrity were the three most important issues, according to a poll of their members. But she also said how hard it is to narrow the 2020 election to a few important issues because there is a wide array of problems that face America.

“It’s really hard to limit (the issues),” Tate said.

“But we just find that if we resist the conservative agenda that we’re falling out on the right side.”

From page 1 Evanston is naturally Democratic.”

On the Democratic side, the DPOE has been focused mainly on defeating Republican candidates up and down the ticket, especially in Wisconsin and other Midwest states that voted for President Trump in 2016.

To accomplish this the DPOE took up a project titled MAP: the Midwest Alliance of Progressives.

“What we did was we reached out to other little tiny Democratic organizations in Wisconsin and Michigan,” said DPOE board president Michelle Jordan. “We all got together and had a giant summit and we decided on which races we thought could win.”

In addition, Jordan highlighted climate change and healthcare as issues that have been widely discussed within their organization.

“If you get locked out once a week, that’s $100 per quarter,” Fine said. “While I get that it’s annoying for Res Services to constantly be giving out and collecting temp cards, I think its consequences on students are worse.”

City finishes monthlong recycling campaign

By EMMA EDMUND

daily senior staffer @emmaeedmund

If you hear people say “nope” around Evanston, they might not be referring to Lil Nas X’s Twitter account, the popular Parks and Recreation character or a funky way to say no.They’re probably talking about recycling.

During the month of September, Evanston ran a month-long “Nope” educational campaign, designed to inform residents about non-recyclable products.The campaign highlighted products that often end up in recycling bins when they shouldn’t be, including paper towels, batteries and any items containing food and liquid, according to a news release.

The city focused on one message in particular, said Alyson Wright, Evanston’s sustainable business fellow.

City staff wanted to emphasize that plastic bags are not allowed in recycling carts.

“I had the opportunity to visit a materials recovery facility, where they sort through all the recycling,” Wright said. “There are people at the facilities that are hand-sorting, so they can’t really open up the bag because it’s really not safe. There could be anything in that bag. So they’re actually having to toss the bag, and it will go directly into the landfill.”

Wright also said the plastic bags get caught in the gears of the machinery on the conveyor belt of recycled materials, forcing workers to stop sorting multiple times a day to clear out the plastic.

The campaign included three short animated videos on plastic bags, foods and liquids and wish cycling, which describes the phenomenon of people throwing products into the recycling bin they hope can be recycled.

The city wrapped several recycling trucks with an advertisement about plastic bags and spread graphics on social media. Evanston also conducted a survey on Facebook and SurveyMonkey to quiz residents on recyclable products, receiving about 850 responses.

“We also just printed stickers,” Wright said. “These stickers will be put on residents’ carts when there are plastic bags in there, or they’re available at the Civic Center for residents to pick up and put them on their cart — or maybe they live in a shared apartment and they’re seeing a lot of plastic bags, they could put them

on that just to kind of get the message out to their neighbors.”

One common recycling misconception addressed by the “Nope” campaign is that people can recycle food-soiled napkins, pizza boxes or coffee cups. But instead of throwing away these items and other food scraps, Erlene Howard, the founder and owner of Collective Resource, said residents can compost these items.

Evanston contracted Collective Resource back in 2017 to address the city’s composting needs, and the company offers residents food scrap pickup from their homes. The company then brings the scraps to the Harbor View Compost Facility.

“The material gets ground up with yard waste and then laid out in these great big rows… to cure naturally, so the carbon stays in the material,” Howard said. “It’s a carbon-negative process to compost, which we love.”

Overall, the campaign plays into the larger city goal of zero waste by 2050 laid out in the Climate Action and Resilience Plan. The plan calls for other, larger policies to be implemented, such as requiring all properties to recycle and phasing out single-use plastics by 2025.

“We’re hoping this campaign can be one step closer toward educating the public and getting them to understand the do’s and don’ts of recycling,” Wright said. emmaedmund2022@u.northwestern.edu

FOOTBALL

Kurt Hansen’s love for Nebraska, NU runs deep

By ANDREW GOLDEN

daily senior staffer @andrewcgolden

As Bienen Prof. Kurt Hansen walked to his car after his Saturday class several years ago, he caught the glares from people in the parking lot. This wasn’t just any normal Saturday afternoon — it was game day between Northwestern and Nebraska. The tailgaters were out in full force — some fans in purple, some fans in red, but Hansen was in both.

For the past six years, Hansen has worn his custommade sweatshirt, split right down the middle to reflect his dual loyalties. The Omaha native was involved with the University of Nebraska and his father, Kermit, was elected to the school’s Board of Regents for 15 years starting in 1975.

After growing up in the Cornhusker State, he came to Northwestern, where he received a bachelor’s degree from the School of Communication and, eventually, a master’s degree in music. But despite having strong ties to both places, Hansen would never pick a side.

“I can’t,” Hansen said. “I can’t do it. I mean, I cheer for whoever has the ball.”

While Hansen’s musical journey kicked off at Northwestern in 1964, the family musical lineage started in Evanston decades before he was born. In 1905, John Mahard Rosborough, his maternal grandfather, graduated with a bachelor’s degree in music from Northwestern.

During Rosborough’s time in Evanston, he was Dean Peter Lutkin’s choral accompanist and, in 1920, became the first person to receive an Honorary

NU alumna Meghan Markle, Prince Harry sue U.K. newspaper publisher

Northwestern alumna Meghan Markle and her husband Prince Harry announced a lawsuit against the publisher of a U.K. newspaper in a Tuesday statement , criticizing a monthslong “ruthless campaign” of negative media coverage of their family.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex choice to take legal action in response is a process that’s

Master’s Degree in music. Despite his vast accomplishments at Northwestern, Rosborough left and moved to Nebraska to become the head of the University of Nebraska School of Music. He would work in that position for 10 years before spending the next 11 years as the Dean of Nebraska’s School of Music.

In addition to serving as a dean, he also formed the Lincoln Cathedral Choir, a collegiate choir that received national acclaim for its excellence and even performed at former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s inauguration.

Rosborough started the musical lineage, eventually passing it down the family. Hansen’s parents met through the choir in 1938, got married seven years later and, in 1946, Hansen was born.

Eric Hansen, Kurt’s younger brother, said he can remember going to games at Memorial Stadium with his family when he was little. While the team was extremely successful during the 1990s, Eric said he and Kurt would run around the empty stadium growing up because the team wasn’t winning games in the ‘50s.

But the one thing about the game that Eric Hansen always remembered was the theme that was ingrained in his family’s genes — the music.

“Football didn’t really start until I heard the (University of Nebraska) marching band pregame going up and down,” Eric Hansen said. “(It was the) same songs every year, but I got goosebumps… got me psyched up for football, but also reminded me of my mom and dad.”

The Hansens were brought up with music — their mom, Mary, went to graduate school at The Julliard School. Both parents had an immense impact on

music in Omaha as well, as their dad was the president of the Omaha Symphony and their mom helped found the Omaha Area Youth Orchestra.

Today, Eric Hansen is a tax accountant, but his mom’s insistence on learning an instrument paid off for him when he was younger. Following his mom’s advice, Hansen learned how to play the piano, saxophone and bassoon and eventually joined the West Coast Marine Corps Band instead of going to Vietnam.

“I was able to go join the band and keep out of harm’s way,” Eric Hansen said. “I’ve continued to play the piano, I love music… it’s still very much a part of my life.”

Like Eric, Kurt joined the United States Air Force band program during the Vietnam Era from the fall 1968 to September 1972. After serving, he returned to Northwestern as a graduate student and got his master’s from the Bienen School of Music. He became a member of the Alice Millar Chapel Choir, where he — like his parents, would meet his wife — Theresa Brancaccio.

Brancaccio, who has been on Bienen’s voice and opera faculty since 1999, said she had no idea how big football was to the Hansen family. She noted that all she knew about her husband at the time was their shared love of music, Northwestern and his love for Russian novels — until she met his family.

“It just was another world, just something I kinda look at like an exhibit,” Brancaccio said. “It’s not something I relate to very well, but the joint passion for both places, I did know he definitely had that.”

As NU prepares to face Nebraska once again on Sunday, Hansen will don his “Nebwestern” sweatshirt and his “House Divided” hat with the two teams on it.

been “many months in the making,” according to the statement.

The announcement comes at the end of primarily positive news coverage by British press of the Royal Family’s 10-day tour of Africa. Prince Harry’s statement said that wasn’t enough to ignore the cost of “the continual misrepresentations” of their family.

“The positive coverage of the past week from these same publications exposes the double standards of this specific press pack that has vilified her almost daily for the past nine months,” Prince Harry’s statement said. “I have been a silent

witness to her private suffering for too long. To stand back and do nothing would be contrary to everything we believe in.”

Over the past year, Markle has faced criticism from British media about her mixed-race heritage, decisions in raising her infant son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor and the choice to guest-edit an issue of British Vogue, among other topics.

The claim was filed against Associated Newspapers — the Daily Mail’s parent company — specifically over the “intrusive and unlawful publication” of a private letter written by Markle. The

As he walks around campus, Hansen will take in the groans from his fellow faculty and students who know it’s Nebraska week. He will take in the laughs from fans who see him supporting both teams — but what he loves most is when people ask him about his story.

“What’s fun to me is having people laugh and giggle about this, but also ask me about it.” Hansen said.

“College spirit is light-hearted. Not just ‘Kill Notre Dame,’ but I mean there should be some light-hearted parts of it, too.” andrewgolden2021@u.northwestern.edu statement didn’t refer to a specific letter, but the newspaper recently published a letter from Markle to her estranged father.

“Though this action may not be the safe one, it is the right one,” the statement said. “Because my deepest fear is history repeating itself. I’ve seen what happens when someone I love is commoditised to the point that they are no longer treated or seen as a real person. I lost my mother and now I watch my wife falling victim to the same powerful forces.”

MEN’S GOLF

NU seeks to defend Marquette Intercollegiate title

By PATRICK ANDRES

the daily northwestern @pandres2001

Northwestern will venture north this weekend, treading familiar ground as it attempts to capture a second straight first-place finish at the Marquette Intercollegiate tournament at Erin Hills Golf Course in Erin, Wisconsin.

The Wildcats bring an experienced squad to the 12-team competition, with senior Everton Hawkins and junior Eric McIntosh returning as key upperclassman contributors from 2018’s two-stroke win.

Both are coming off strong finishes at NU’s previous tournament at Olympia Fields, having each shot an even-par 70 in the final round.

“Both played on the team that won the tournament there last year,” coach David Inglis said. “(We have) a lot of good notes from a lot of tournaments before.”

One golfer from previous tournaments who won’t be present is the recently graduated Ryan Lumsden, who made his debut Thursday on the European Tour, firing a 1-under in the first round of the Spanish Open.

Last October, Lumsden’s individual score of 8-under, was good for first in the 70-player field.

Referring to Lumsden and Cats alum Dylan Wu, who recently qualified for the PGA Tour’s Shriners

Hospitals for Children Open this month, Inglis said it was “kind of a big week” for NU. Despite the loss of Lumsden, Inglis is confident McIntosh and Hawkins can help guide another contender, buttressed by a strong freshman class.

James Imai, John Driscoll III and Matthew Camel are the three newcomers, and all have contributed early, with Imai and Driscoll III ranking among the top five scorers on the team.

“James was rock solid,” Inglis said. “( John Driscoll III) had a good final round. Both played very well in our recent qualifier… I think we have a lot of good strength and depth.”

The Marquette Intercollegiate marks NU’s secondstraight tournament at a U.S. Open course, following an 11th place finish at Olympia Fields, where the tournament took place in 2003. Erin Hills was the site of Brooks Koepka’s first major championship win in 2017.

“Anytime you play in a venue like that, it’s really special,” Inglis said.

Along with the Cats, Ball State, Georgia State, Indiana, Liberty, Marquette, Miami of Ohio, Purdue, South Florida, UC Davis, UCLA, and Wisconsin comprise the field for the tournament. NU is 4-2 head-to-head against this collection of teams this season. The course will have a yardage of 7515, about 226 yards shorter than the Open two years ago, and

par will be 72.

Weather is also expected to be a factor, with heavy thunderstorms in the forecast for Saturday night and a chance of rain Monday as well. Inglis, however, does not expect the storms to affect the flow of the

tournament.

“The course may play soft,” he said. “It’s about who can adapt and handle the best.” patrickandres2023@u.northwestern.edu

ATHLETICS

Illinois state rep. introduces bill that could pay athletes

By ANDREW GOLDEN

daily senior staffer @andrewcgolden

On Monday, State Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch (D-Westchester) introduced a bill that would potentially give Illinois college athletes the opportunity to make money off of their likeness.

This bill was introduced the same day that California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a similar law that will take effect in California in 2023.

While Pat Fitzgerald said he didn’t know the

specifics of the bill, the former Northwestern linebacker said in his Monday press conference, he is in favor of whatever best supports the interests of all student-athletes, not just football and basketball players.

“I just really really hope it’s not just for football and basketball,” Fitzgerald said in his press conference on Monday. “That, I do know. Because I think that would really change what college sports is all about.”

The 2018 Big Ten Coach of the Year never mentioned paying players during the press conference.

The NCAA has been open with its disdain for the bill Newsom signed, and released a statement Monday

that continued to express its disappointment in the now-passed legislation.

“Unfortunately, this new law already is creating confusion for current and future student-athletes, coaches, administrators and campuses,” the statement said, “and not just in California.”

Welch’s bill, if passed, would allow athletes to earn compensation for the usage of their name, image or likeness while also prohibiting the NCAA from barring Illinois schools from participating in games.

At Big Ten men’s basketball media day on Wednesday, Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany — who is retiring at the end of the season — said he opposed

the bill, noting that college athletics will be changed when players begin to get paid.

“The student who plays athletics in the Big Ten is in school to receive an education first,” Delany said.

“There’s an amazing opportunity to get a world-class education here and it’s an amazing opportunity to compete in a great conference with great recognition.”

Along with Illinois and California, several other states including Colorado, Florida and Minnesota are in the process of working on similar college likeness bills. andrewgolden2021@u.northwestern.edu

No.5 Wildcats fall to No. 4 Maryland in overtime

By PETER WARREN

Freshman midfielder Ana Medina Garcia hits the ball. The freshman from Madrid took one shot Thursday.

VOLLEYBALL

For almost all of Thursday’s matchup between No. 4 Maryland and No. 5 Northwestern, the Terrapins dominated the contest. But a late goal from senior defender Kirsten Mansfield knotted the game at one, turning the game into a more even contest.

The two powerhouses went to overtime, and the game seemed destined for a shootout. But freshman defender Alia Marshall was disposed deep in Wildcats territory by Emma DeBerdine.

DeBerdine dribbled up and shot the ball past junior goalkeeper Florien Marcussen into the far netting, giving Maryland (101, 3-0 Big Ten) the 2-1 overtime victory Thursday at Lakeside Field.

“We didn’t have a good first half,” Marcussen said. “It’s frustrating if

you do such a good job coming back in the game and lose it in the final few minutes.”

NU (10-3, 3-1) played most of the game in its own half of the field, as the Terrapins forced the issue on the offensive end. Led by Bibi Donraadt and Linda Cobano, Maryland outshot the Cats 12-0 in the first half.

The Terrapins got on the board about six minutes into the game.

Kelee Lepage hit the ball inside the circle and sent a curler past an outstretched Marcussen.

“It could have been 4-0 in the first half,” coach Tracey Fuchs said.

“I thought Flo played probably the best game of her career today and really held us in the game.”

Coming off winning Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week honors for her performances against Michigan and Michigan State, Marcussen saved a season-high nine shots against the potent Maryland attack.

The Netherlands native gave credit to her defense for clearing rebounds and forcing the Terrapins to shoot from tough angles.

NU did not manage a single shot until 35 minutes into the contest from redshirt freshman phenom Bente Baekers, and they didn’t earn its first corner until there was

2:29 remaining in the contest. But the Cats took advantage of the opportunity.

Mansfield took the corner and played a pass to the middle of the circle, where junior forward Lakin Barry fired a shot on net. Noelle Frost got a piece of the ball but could not make a full save. The ball snuck underneath her, and Mansfield was there to tie the game.

“I was able to just hit it in as it was slowly rolling,” Mansfield said. “Just a little scrappy goal, but it works.”

In addition to taking more shots, Maryland had seven corners to NU’s two and 11 shots on goal to the Cats’ three.

The loss snapped an eight-game winning streak for NU, during which the Cats won five games over ranked opponents. NU returns to the turf against Maine in Newton, Mass., on Sunday.

Despite the crushing loss, the Cats’ spirits were not totally deflated.

“There’s like mixed emotions because obviously we want to win when we come out on our field,” Mansfield said. “But we definitely battled today. We gave it all we got to the very last second. You can’t be like mad, but it’s hard.” peterwarren2021@u.northwestern.edu

WOMEN’S SOCCER

Cats prepare for two Big Ten road contests

NU draws 0-0 against Purdue

the daily northwestern @johnriker10

After five shots, six corner kicks and 110 minutes of play, Northwestern still couldn’t find the back of the net — and neither could Purdue.

Thursday’s contest at Martin Stadium ended in a 0-0 draw after double overtime, giving the Wildcats their third shutout of the year in their conference home-opener.

Purdue (6-4-2, 2-2-1 Big Ten) opened the game hot — with five shots in the first 10 minutes — but NU’s (4-5-2, 2-1-1) defense came through with some big stops to respond to the Boilermakers’ attack.

“They did an amazing job,” sophomore goalkeeper Mackenzie Wood said of the backline. “We really learned when to step in, (and) we connected better with our midfielders this game.”

Wood did her part on defense, too, picking up seven saves throughout the game. The first save came nearly two minutes into the game, when Purdue forward Leanna Rebimbas kicked the ball toward the upper center of the goal and Wood tipped it over the net.

With the 0-0 result, the Indiana native also secured the 11th shutout of her career, which places her in fifth for shutouts in Cats history.

“She did what we’ve seen her do in the past,” coach Michael Moynihan said. “She’s in a good place right now, playing strong, and we need that.”

The offense struggled in the first half, as they didn’t take a shot, but the second half was a different story. The Cats’ offense came to life when freshman outside back Danika Austin took the first shot for NU in the 47th minute, which missed wide right. Junior midfielder Regan Steigleder shot the ball too high a minute later.

Despite picking up four of NU’s five shots Thursday, Steigleder still wasn’t satisfied with her performance.

By JOHN RIKER

Northwestern has not had it easy this season.

Whether it’s the nine injuries that have ravaged the team’s lineup, the gauntlet of Big Ten powerhouse teams on their schedule or their own occasionally passive play, the Wildcats’ resilience and depth have been tested over the opening weeks of the season.

With a prime opportunity to bounce back from last weekend’s losses, NU (9-5, 0-2 Big Ten) will play with back-to-back away games against Big Ten rivals No. 17 Purdue (8-3, 0-2 Big Ten) and Indiana (11-4, 0-2 Big Ten) on Friday and Saturday, respectively.

The Cats entered their two-game homestand against the nationally ranked Iowa and Nebraska squads last weekend, hoping to start off their Big Ten play strong. Instead, NU lost both games, falling in four sets to the Hawkeyes and in three to the Cornhuskers.

The lopsided final scores were deceiving, as Iowa and the Cats were neck-and-neck for most of their match, and NU played up to its competition against current No. 2 Nebraska. The latter performance gave coach Shane Davis cause for optimism heading forward.

“There was a lot of hesitation on our part as a volleyball team on Friday,” Davis said. “What you saw on Saturday was a team that wasn’t hesitant, that was going out and playing in the moment, being competitive on every touch and trusting themselves, trusting their teammates, and you saw a lot of selflessness out there against Nebraska. That’s the good that we’re carrying over for this upcoming weekend.”

Now 0-2 in Big Ten play, the Cats will head east for matches against the Boilermakers and the Hoosiers. Though neither team is of Nebraska’s caliber, NU will face stiff competition in each matchup. The Boilermakers are ranked No. 17 in the nation and will have their raucous home atmosphere, according to Davis. He added the unranked Hoosiers have an edge in

experience over his squad.

Still, the Cats believe that if they can implement the attack mentality that kept them competitive against Nebraska, they can return to Evanston with an even conference record.

“We have an opportunity to beat a ranked team with Purdue, and we need that on our resume,” Davis said. “We haven’t beaten a ranked opponent yet this year, and that’s going to be more important as we go down the road.”

With key players returning to the mix in the coming weeks and a manageable slate of upcoming games allowing them an opportunity to get back on track, NU harbors high hopes for where it will be at the end of the regular season.

A sweep this weekend would be a major step in that direction.

“We need to start playing some positive back-to-back matches,” Davis said. “We just need two matches on back-to-back nights and getting better each match. We need to come away with a couple W’s, but then also show that we’re getting better as well.” johnriker2023@u.northwestern.edu

“I should be scoring, not just getting it near the goal,” the Iowa native said. “We definitely (played) better, and we should have capitalized more.”

Steigleder added that the Cats struggled to execute and finish their crosses up top, and they needed better “composure” in the middle of the field.

Moynihan said NU didn’t “threaten” enough throughout the game.

“There’s too much reaction to

stuff and not enough initiating and thinking ahead,” Moynihan said. “Everyone has good, organized defenses, and you have to be out-thinking them and anticipating things if you want to make things happen.”

However, Moynihan said he thought the team played well in the final third of the game, something the Cats had been working on in practice.

Though she was “disappointed” with the result, Steigleder said she’s looking forward to Sunday’s match against Rutgers in Piscataway, N.J. “We’ll look through film, regroup and see what we can do better,” Steigleder said. “Zero-zero is better than a loss, so we’ll take it.” sophiascanlan2022@u.northwestern.edu
