The University created a new committee that will make recommendations to improve support for student veterans. Patricia Telles-Irvin, vice president of student affairs, told The Daily in an email that the committee was recently approved by her and Provost Dan Linzer. “(The committee is) going to be coming up with more recommendations in terms of making sure that our veterans feel welcome, and they have services and the support they need to be successful,” Telles-Irvin said. Most of Northwestern’s student veterans are in the School of Professional Studies and Kellogg, Telles-Irvin said. Improving resources to support student veterans is one of many steps the University is taking to improve diversity and inclusion on campus, according to an email sent by Linzer and Telles-Irvin to students in September. Recent graduate Alec Kinczewski (SPS ‘16) served as an active duty officer for eight years in the U.S. Army before enrolling in the University’s pre-medicine postbaccalaureate certificate program. Kinczewski said although he did not notice a “glaring lack of resources” for student veterans, he is still looking forward to seeing what recommendations the committee has. “It’s great they’re paying that kind of attention,” Kinczewski said. “Northwestern’s always shown a willingness to try and do things to help out the veterans. … So I’m pretty excited to see what they come up with.”

3 from NU say police mistreated them near Wrigley
By JULIA JACOBS and SHANE MCKEON daily senior staffers @juliarebeccaj, @shane_mckeon
Three Northwestern students said they were handled, searched and interrogated by Chicago police for no expressed reason other than looking “suspicious” while in Wrigleyville on Wednesday night. Communication sophomore Linkon Pickus said he and his two friends had spent hours watching the scoreboard outside Wrigley Field before three police officers grabbed and led them from the crowd for about half an hour as fans celebrated the Cubs’ historic World Series win. Pickus, along with McCormick senior Michael Martínez and Weinberg senior Daniel Isaacson, said they were put up against the wall of the stadium as police patted them down, searched their belongings and questioned them as to why they were there that night. “I just felt so violated and so embarrassed,” Pickus said. “I was trying to be as calm and compliant as possible and still understand why I was being detained.” Hundreds had gathered outside Wrigley Field to await the result of the game, which took place in Cleveland. Fans clogged the streets outside the stadium, climbing on each other’s shoulders and on top of traffic lights. The Chicago Police Department said 14 people were arrested in Wrigleyville as of Thursday at 3 a.m., mostly for “disorderly and reckless conduct.” Pickus said the police officer who handled him repeatedly called him a “spic,” which is a derogatory slur against Hispanic people, and continued to tug the collar of his jacket despite him saying he was choking. While sitting with his back against the stadium, Pickus said he asked multiple officers why he was being kept but did not get a specific answer. He also said he asked for the police officer’s name and badge number, but did not get a response. Martínez said officers were wearing rain jackets and neon vests that blocked their badges. Although Pickus said police eventually returned his wallet and phone, he said the officers never returned his keys. Isaacson said he did not know why he and his friends were grabbed by police but speculated that it could have been because the trio was criticizing police during conversations with others in the » See POLICE, page 16

EPL staff proposes full-time social worker By NORA SHELLY
daily senior staffer @noracshelly
Evanston Public Library staff are proposing to hire a full-time social worker in 2017. The main branch of the library, 1703 Orrington Ave., already houses several part-time student social workers, said library director Karen Danczak Lyons. A fulltime position will give the library service more “predictability,” she said. “Finding a way to help patrons who are already gathering in the library, the thought was to connect them to services and help them think about how to improve their situation,” she said. “It just makes absolute logical sense to me.” The position would primarily meet with library patrons who need the counseling and connect them to other social service agencies in Evanston. EPL already does this, Danczak Lyons said, but a full-time position would be able to build “trustworthy” relationships with both the patrons and the social services agencies in the city.
Serving the University and Evanston since 1881
The social worker would operate out of the main branch and the Chicago Avenue/Main Street branch. A public library is a good place for this sort of coordinated effort, Danczak said. “As a public library and a public space that’s open seven days a week and welcomes everyone, we have patrons from all walks of life,” she said. “They will be talking to patrons, introducing themselves, and talking about different programs and services that may be available.” The position would begin in July 2017 and would be grant funded, according to Library Board documents. EPL would contract with Presence Health for the position. Currently, college students working part time at the library are responsible for the duties this new position would perform. Having students conduct social work was helpful, the documents said, but made the schedule inconsistent. “When the students graduate and until a new group of student interns are recruited and receive orientation, this service option is
not available to our patrons and staff,” the document said. “There is usually a break in services over the summer.” According to the document, Presence Health has previously helped EPL fill in the social worker gap in the summer months. Danczak Lyons said the position was needed now more than ever in light of cuts to social
service agencies across the state during the state budget crisis. Cuts to agencies EPL had partnered with hurt the library’s patrons, Danczak Lyons said. “Some of our patrons that relied upon services no longer have access to those same services,” she said. Sue Loellbach, director of development for Connections for the Homeless, said having a social
worker at the library would help social services agencies expand their network. “A social worker at the library could be a very good connection point between people who need services but are reluctant to engage any of the services that are out there ready to help them,” she said.

AROUND TOWN Know your ballot: Comptroller race draws big donors By ROBIN OPSAHL
daily senior staffer @robinopsahl
The race for state comptroller in Illinois, usually a low-profile election, has had over $12 million dollars poured into the two candidates’ campaigns, as Republicans and Democrats in the state fight over the position controlling the state’s checkbook. The position of state comptroller came back under the public eye when then-incumbent Judy Baar Topinka died in late 2014 after winning her re-election. Former Gov. Pat Quinn temporarily appointed Jerry Stermer to the position in 2014, and when Gov. Bruce Rauner took office, he appointed current comptroller Leslie Munger. After Munger’s appointment, a Democraticcontrolled General Assembly enacted a law requiring a special 2016 election. Under normal circumstances, the next comptroller election would have happened in 2018. Munger is currently in a tight race against Democrat Susana Mendoza, Chicago’s City Clerk, for the elected position. Munger has received support from Rauner and about $10 million in donations from the governor and two supporting businessmen. Mendoza has only raised about $3 million for her campaign largely from unions and the Democratic Party fund, and also has support
Aggravated robbery turns into car chase from Evanston to Chicago
An attempted aggravated robbery on Monroe Street turned into a car chase and concluded with three teenagers arrested by Chicago police on
from Illinois House speaker Michael Madigan (D-Chicago). Although many have accused the comptroller race of being a battlefield for powerful Republicans and Democrats, Munger said she rejects the notion. “I reject the notion that this is a proxy war,” Munger said at a debate earlier this year. “We should be judged for the role of comptroller, not on who might put us in these positions but what we actually have done.” Illinois’ state comptroller is responsible for overseeing the state’s financial accounts, as well as directly ordering and processing payments into and out of accounts held by the state treasurer. The position was almost eliminated in 2011 when some legislators criticized the comptroller position existing because of its overlap with state treasurer duties. But because of opposition supported by state Democrats, the move to merge the two positions did not make it into law. In addition to Munger’s and Mendoza’s campaigns, there are two other candidates in the race: Green Party candidate and former union organizer Tim Curtin and Libertarian candidate Claire Ball, an accountant with U.S. Cellular. Both Mendoza and Munger believe the office of state comptroller should be independent from the influence of more powerful state politicians, such as Rauner and Madigan. During a College Democrats event at Northwestern on Tuesday
night, Mendoza said she believes the $1 million Rauner spent on Munger’s campaign was a “conflict of interest.” “The minute she accepted it, she sold the office because she is selling the independence of the office,” Mendoza said. “I am not accepting million-dollar contributions from people that I am supposed to oversee. … It’s just wrong, and that is what our state has come to.” Munger has criticized Mendoza for similar reasons, saying she has taken money from Madigan personally and accepted donations from special interest groups. The candidates come from very different financial and political backgrounds. State comptroller is Munger’s first position in public office, and previously, she worked as an executive at beauty company Helene Curtis/Unilever. Mendoza has served as Chicago City Clerk since 2011, and was a state representative for Illinois’ First District in Chicago for 10 years prior. Despite the stark party lines seen in this race, both candidates share many of the same goals, such as ensuring pay for social services services agencies that struggled to stay afloat during the state’s budget crisis, and working on the backlog of more than $9 billion in unpaid bills the state has yet to address. The Illinois chapter of the National Association of Social Workers endorsed Mendoza for office. The group said it was happy to see both
candidates support paying social services. “While we are cautiously encouraged that both candidates have run on prioritizing human service payments, we are also justifiably nervous about when human services fall out of favor,” the group said in its endorsement. However, they added that they were disappointed by the willingness of both candidates to delay politicians’ payroll, a “publicly popular yet likely illegal” practice both candidates said they were willing to use. Munger has proposed legislation to stop lawmakers from getting paid if they don’t approve a balanced budget. During the state budget crisis, she did not send out paychecks to legislators, as she could not send out payments for Illinois’ other bills that were overdue. Mendoza also agreed she would halt legislators’ payrolls if another budget crisis occurred. “Yes, we should not pay elected officials where possible before paying more urgent bills, but when is Comptroller Munger going to stand up to Governor Rauner and demand an end to his extreme agenda and pass a budget?” Mendoza asked in a statement, in response to Munger’s stance. The winner of the Nov. 8 election will finish out the second half of the term started by Munger in her appointment.
Thursday. At about 4 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 1700 block of Monroe Street after a 70-year-old woman was approached in her backyard by an armed male subject demanding her purse, police said. A second subject drove up, but after the woman began to scream, the subjects fled westbound in the vehicle, according to a news release. Evanston police attempted to stop the vehicle on
Ridge Avenue but terminated the pursuit after the subjects continued to flee south into Chicago. The subjects parked in the area of Pratt Boulevard and the lakefront to attempt to flee on foot, and Chicago police arrested three subjects and turned them over to the EPD. The three subjects taken into custody were 15, 16 and 17 years-old, and the vehicle they drove was reported stolen from Chicago.
The 15-year-old is a resident of Calumet City, Illinois, and the other two subjects are Chicago residents. All three were each charged with one count of aggravated robbery. A fourth subject escaped the scene, and a pellet gun resembling a firearm was found in the vehicle.

International students talk politics
Despite not having a vote in the U.S., students have strong views on election By MARIANA ALFARO
daily senior staffer @marianaa_alfaro
Weinberg freshman Elna Alvear just voted for the first time, but not for an American president. Alvear, an international student from Peru, voted in the Peruvian presidential election and is not able to vote in the upcoming U.S. election. But that doesn’t mean she and hundreds of other international students at Northwestern don’t have anything to say on the American presidential race. “In the beginning I was worried because I felt like people were inclining more to Trump,” Alvear said. “But now all these news of him being racist on social media have had a lot of impact on the Americans’ decision and realizing that this is just ridiculous and racist.” According to the University Data Book, international students made up 8.6 percent of NU’s undergraduate student population during the 2015-2016 school year. Students with U.S. citizenships who were raised abroad aren’t counted in that number, which means a little over 700 undergraduates won’t get to vote in this year’s election and may not have been raised in a household familiar with the U.S. democratic process. Communication junior Liz Kang, who was born in Korea but raised in Japan, Canada and Indonesia, said growing up she was aware of the “residual wave” that hit her home countries whenever an American election happened. She remembers people in Indonesia supporting Hillary Clinton in the 2008 election because they liked the idea of a female U.S. president. “I remember all my friends would be like, ‘Oh yeah America, it’s a democracy, and it looks down at Islamic countries because they think they disrespect women,’” she said. “But there are a lot of Muslim countries that have had female heads of state, and America is yet to have one.” Kang said this has been a sensational election
season. From an international student perspective, it is very engaging to watch America make this decision, she said. Having Donald Trump as a candidate has given people opportunities to insult foreigners, citing examples of cases in which she’s witnessed or heard people being told to “go back to their countries,” Kang said. “I definitely felt like this is a very unique circumstance, especially with Trump and him having very numerous negative opinions on international students,” she said. “There’s a part of our lives that is very much tied to a decision that’s being made in a few days because of the H1B visa. That’s the work visa for international students.” Weinberg freshman Dimitris Goulimaris, who is from Greece, said this is probably the “most ridiculous” election he has ever experienced in his life. “On the one side, we have Hillary; no one likes Hillary,” Goulimaris said. “Everybody says she’s corrupted. There’s probably a reason for people to say that. But then, on the other side, you have Trump. … If I were American, I would vote for Hillary but only because I would never want Trump to rule the country.” Goulimaris said he understands why a person like Trump would gain followers in the U.S., especially among low-income populations who might be outraged by the current state of the nation and need someone to blame. Trump, he said, is the person who expresses that rage for them. However, Goulimaris said he didn’t expect Trump to be this close to becoming president. “This is a phenomenon that takes place in many places around Europe,” he said. “The people are not like Trump, but they have similar ideologies. It’s not as extreme.” Goulimaris said Trump’s rhetoric towards immigrants is the biggest indicator of how unprepared he is to be president. Deporting immigrants would be terrible for Americans, he said, because America was built by immigrants, and

its economy is dependent on them. Although Goulimaris, Alvear and Kim said they fear how a Trump presidency would affect U.S. foreign relations and immigrant lives, they remain confident the U.S. would never elect him. With the election less than a week away, Alvear said she and her friends prefer to talk about other things. “I think people, myself as well, just want it to be over,” she said.

Panel centers on impact of social movements By KRISTINE LIAO
the daily northwestern @kristine_liao
Speakers discussed how groups like Occupy, Black Lives Matter and the anti-Dakota Access Pipeline movement have changed the rhetoric of the upcoming presidential election at a panel Thursday night. The panelists — including professors from Northwestern and the New School, as well as a representative from the Roosevelt Institute, a liberal American think tank — addressed about 30 people in University Hall. They participated in a discussion about how social movements are impacting the public sphere in the 2016 election. The event was organized by The New School for Social Research, Chicago Democracy Project, Northwestern Center for Civic Engagement and One Book, One Northwestern. It focused on issues such as the impact of social movements on politicians, the media’s responsibility in mobilizing voters and people’s tendency to stay in their ideological comfort zones. “This is the first election in my lifetime … where the election is actually about democracy,” said panel speaker and New School Prof. Jeffrey Goldfarb. Goldfarb commented on how the perception of socialism has changed as a result of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign and grassroot organizations that work toward normalizing socialism in America. He also questioned some statements made by presidential candidate Donald Trump, such as his intention to build a wall between the United States and Mexico. Goldfarb discussed how Trump’s statements fire up his supporters, but said he is unsure whether the candidate will follow through with his plans. “Does Trump really believe it? Probably not, so what are they doing?” Goldfarb said. “We have hints, we have our intuition, we have our fears, but we don’t really know what he’s going to do. It’s a fundamental problem of political language.” Weinberg freshman Alex Neumann said he heard about the event from one of the panel
speakers who teaches his first-year seminar about political inequality. He said the panel discussion inspired his interest in the structure of social movements. “Trying to balance creating a collective identity with serving each individual interest is very, very hard,” Neumann said. “But I don’t think we can have an effective movement without that.” New School politics Prof. Deva Woodly said she prefers local movements to those focused on national politics.
“
National politics is demobilizing because they’re so far away and ... you haven’t engaged in enough to actually affect (change).
Deva Woodly, New School politics professor
“National politics is demobilizing because they’re so far away and … you haven’t engaged in enough to actually affect (change),” Woodly said. “But if you’ve built up a local power base, you have more credibility, you have more skills, you have a clearer idea of the goals you want to seek.” People need to be more consistent in local engagement because that is where one “learns the habit of civic engagement,” Woodly said. The panel also addressed the current lack of conversations between people who have different ideals. Malik Alim, the Illinois organizer of the Roosevelt Institute, said this problem is exacerbated on university campuses. “Once you pick a major, you’re essentially around people who are reinstating your ideas,” he said. “The way I see it, universities should also be the ones leading conversations around things like student debt and also paying attention to their surrounding communities.” kristineliao2020@u.northwestern.edu

Activism should be about more than social media DANNY COOPER
DAILY COLUMNIST
On Monday after class, I opened up my laptop to see many of my Facebook friends had checked into the page for the Standing Rock Indian Reservation, the site of a massive protest against the proposed Dakota Access Pipeline. I was a little confused, wondering how I missed the mass exodus of cars carrying folks out of Evanston. But it soon became clear that the check-ins were meant to show solidarity and confuse the local police. Though the Sheriff ’s Department stated it does not monitor Facebook check-ins for the camps, the wave of support was still appreciated by organizers, who said the check-ins attracted plenty of attention to their cause. However, according to a Facebook post from organizer Morgan Sennhauser, check-ins like these actually make it easier to figure out who is there, as it becomes easier to obtain a subpoena to view Facebook data. Ironically, people who wanted to show their support for the protest now may end up having a role in
one’s actions or beliefs is more harmful than striking out against it, Dr. King explains, saying: “Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.” If progress is to be made, drawing from Dr. King’s words, we have to show the willingness and drive to delve deep into social issues, not to merely acknowledge injustices to check them off of a list. Instead of just sharing one’s location or copying and pasting a status without deep thought, NU students should strive to make a real difference in the cause they are promoting. I encourage the posts I saw publicizing different petitions to sign against the pipeline and links to donate or send the protestors supplies. One of my friends is even driving up with a group to join the protest this weekend. These concrete actions are far more valuable if we want to support a cause on more than a superficial level.
Too often, though, it seems as if these are done with the intention of fitting in with trendy social causes rather than out of sincere care. Last year, I remember plenty of people copying and pasting Facebook posts pledging their support for the students at the University of Missouri protesting for racial equality;
however, I cannot recall seeing as many at the march for solidarity on Northwestern’s campus. I remember people changing their profile pictures to French flags in the aftermath of the Paris attacks, but their captions revealed clear ignorance about what had actually occurred. Facebook posts might make people feel like they have the moral high ground, but it does not seem as though they accomplish the goal of creating substantive change. Widespread awareness of social issues also means less of a deep focus on individual causes. Someone may watch a John Oliver clip about school segregation which sparks a sense of anger within them at lunchtime, but by dinner, that rage likely either has dissipated or they have moved onto a new topic. Aware=+ness is a great first step, but it only leads to change when people devote themselves to taking action on behalf of the cause. The rapid shifting from issue to issue in the social justice landscape of social media engenders complacency and makes people less likely to take any direct action for a cause. This seems reminiscent of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s concept of “negative peace,” which he wrote about in his Letter from Birmingham Jail. Showing support for a movement without fully backing it with
rock as I moved to New York City to pursue my career. After the Cubs were eliminated by the Mets in 2015, all eyes turned to 2016. The Cubs re-signed Dexter Fowler and acquired Jason Heyward, Ben Zobrist and John Lackey in the offseason. All of the pieces were in place. The mid-season acquisitions of Aroldis
Chapman and Mike Montgomery assured that the bullpen would be more reliable. The Cubs followed their dominant 103-win season and landslide division victory with one of the most stressful and incredible postseasons in baseball history. The Cubs defeated the even-year Giants and Madison Bumgarner; they defeated the Dodgers and best-pitcher-in-a-generation Clayton
Kershaw. They just had one more challenge to face: their first World Series since 1945 and what would be their first World Series victory since 1908. Last night’s game had everything any baseball fan could’ve wanted: two historic World Series droughts, a win-or-go-home Game 7, a home run for the retiring David Ross, the continued stellar play of slugger Kyle Schwarber fresh off the DL, a leadoff home run by Dexter Fowler, an impressive Indians comeback, a rain delay, extra innings and finally the sweetest victory in baseball history. These Cubs have broken curses, silenced naysayers and brought joy to Chicago since the season began, and the future looks even brighter from here. This young core of players looks to dominate the MLB for years to come, though the playoffs are always a dice roll. The best team doesn’t always win the World Series, but this year it inarguably has happened. “W” flags fly all over the world today and will for the rest of the off-season. Those who have never followed a sports team before are realizing how glorious of an emotional arc it is to do so. This year has been transformative and scary on a personal and global level, making it especially sweet to have a victory like this to celebrate. Words can’t describe what last night was like for diehard Cubs fans. As the final out got closer and closer, a physical reaction took place in my body. I was, as all seasoned Cub fans are, more emotionally prepared for a loss and had no idea what to do when it actually happened. It was a head rush of the highest degree. We will all remember where we were when Kris Bryant gleefully threw the final out to friend and teammate Anthony Rizzo. All are welcome on the Cubs bandwagon, and here’s hoping for a repeat victory next fall in 2017. Go. Cubs. Go.
bringing it down. These check-ins are the latest example of a trend which has grown alongside social media: slacktivism. People change their profile picture or share a tweet in order to raise awareness about a certain issue, then move on with their lives. And to a certain extent, this accessibility to information about social issues is a good thing, as many people were not aware of these situations before.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
After decades of waiting, World Series victory for Cubs is so, so sweet
It is difficult to assemble my thoughts after the greatest night of my life. Although the Cubs have struggled historically for over a century, even relatively young Cubs fans like myself have known heartbreak and known it well. I woke up for school one fateful morning in October 2003 to be told by my dad that the Cubs did not make it to the World Series like we were sure they were going to when I went to bed. I begged to stay home from school. In 2007, after being mercilessly swept in the NLDS, I was sure 2008 would be the year. When the same thing happened in 2008, I changed my AIM screenname to “Cubs09ws” to strut my confidence in the team I loved so dearly. Then the Cubs went under new ownership with the Ricketts family and the team rebuild began, led by front office legend Theo Epstein. From 2010 to 2014, the Cubs fielded struggling teams. The players on the field tried their best, but the front office was focused on building up the minor league system. While Wrigley Field was populated by now-forgotten Cubs, future World Series champions like Kris Bryant, Javier Baez, Kyle Schwarber and Willson Contreras were developing as players in the farm system. Then, 2015 was a whirlwind of a season filled with unexpected early success; the rebuild was not supposed to take full effect until 2016. I was fortunate enough to spend my junior and senior year at Northwestern for the 2015 and 2016 seasons and saw about 15 games at Wrigley through this incredible journey, including the 2015 NLDS Game 4 victory against the historic rival St. Louis Cardinals and an NLCS game against the Dodgers this postseason. Although I graduated in June 2016, this team has been my

Walter Clements is bringing more than just wine to Evanston. Clements’ upcoming winery, Meta Wine, will take inspiration from European concepts and allow customers to blend different imported wines to create their own custom drinks, Clements said. Clements worked with students from the Kellogg School of Management in the planning of Meta Wine. He collaborated with two groups on different projects — one group focused on marketing research and the other researched supply chain and inventory optimization. Although details are still in the works, Meta Wine is scheduled to open in April attached to the Main Street Metra Station, 600 Main St. “Sometimes you hear about restaurants doing deconstructed foods,” Clements said. “We’re like a deconstructed winery.” Clement said Meta Wine’s business model is unique to the United States. The winery’s selection will mostly feature imported wines from Italy and France, he said. Customers will be able to personally brand their wines by selecting different bottling and labeling options in the store’s tasting room. Clements said restaurant owners can take advantage of the opportunity to make house wines custom to their own businesses. “In Italy, it’s called ‘vino sfuso,’ which means ‘loose wine’,” he said. “When you see someone walking down the street in Italy with a purple gallon of milk, it’s because they took their milk that they finished, ended up going to the store and filling it with wine.” Clements said he wants to avoid packaging wine in traditional glass bottles. At Meta Wine, wine created by customers will be packaged in various environmentally-friendly containers, including stainless steel and recyclable plastic kegs. Clements said he also anticipates working with local artisans and glass blowers to create other special containers. Corey Eng (Kellogg ’16) worked on the marketing research team that helped create the report Clements will use when he introduces Meta Wine to restaurant
owners. “The whole goal was to make wine more accessible, especially for millennials, understanding what the appropriate price point would be to attract people to try something that was foreign to them,” Eng said. Erik Ellingson, a Kellogg graduate student, worked with Clements to research supply chain and inventory optimization. Ellingson’s team worked to figure out the logistics behind maintaining Meta Wine’s inventory.

The supply chain and inventory optimization team created a calculator tool for Clements to use when restocking wine. “We helped Walter determine what reorder points he needed, when in the process he needed to reorder wine, what wine he needed to reorder and how the seasonality of different wines affects those points,” Ellingson said. Clements said working with graduate students was a positive experience, calling both projects “A-plus.” He said he hopes to continue to work with Northwestern students, ranging from legal studies to engineering majors, in other capacities in the future. After opening in Evanston, Clements said he intends on expanding Meta Wine’s business model across the country. “There’s craft beer everywhere, and that’s great, but a lot of people don’t want a craft beer that tastes like a cleaning product,” Clements said. “They want a nice, sweet, juicy, delicious, fresh glass of wine, and that’s not offered currently in the same way that craft beer is offered.” suminwoo2020@u.northwestern.edu

Stigma panel talks campus resources By JAKE HOLLAND
the daily northwestern @jakeholland97
With the intention of working to destigmatize mental illness on campus, a panel of students discussed their personal experiences with mental health at an event hosted by NU Active Minds on Thursday night. The panel comprised four Northwestern students who shared their personal stories, after which they answered questions from the audience. Roughly 40 people attended the event held in Harris Hall. “Silences are the product of stigma, and these things have a really real and visceral effect on people,” panelist Rachel Hawley said during the event. “It’s good to have community role models of people who are talking about it, not in an active way that sensationalizes but (with) role models who are dealing with ongoing issues and are doing really well.” The Weinberg sophomore also emphasized that sharing personal stories regarding mental illness isn’t for everyone and that everyone’s journey is different. “The model of surviving and thriving with a mental illness should be one of variation and not of standardization,” Hawley said. Although audience members and speakers appreciated a space to discuss the topic, Weinberg sophomore Karolina Leziak told The Daily she believes NU’s campus culture can make it difficult to speak out about mental health. “The most accurate analogy I heard was (during) freshman year of the duck in a pond,” said Leziak, who attended the event. “Everyone at the surface seems okay, but underneath everyone is scrambling to get by. There definitely exists a toxic environment at Northwestern where you have to pretend that you’re okay. … For a lot of people that just doesn’t work.” Both Leziak and SESP sophomore Elizabeth Phillips, who also attended the panel, expressed admiration for the University’s decision to end Counseling and Psychological Services’ 12-session limit. Still, it sometimes feels as though campus resources are too finite, Phillips told The Daily. “(CAPS) refers you outward, usually just because they don’t have staff to do it,” Phillips said. “Even when you do go to have that conversation with someone, it can never really be long-term, and you get taken somewhere different that isn’t through the University. But mental illness isn’t something that usually happens just once.” Panelist Josh Coffey said he has found that Greek life can provide students with a support system. “Greek life gives you a place to call home, and it has the potential to foster healthy relationships and a really healthy sense of self,” the McCormick senior told The Daily. “And while I don’t think it’s systematically wrong, there can be a preference of social acceptance over (prioritizing) your own emotions.” Coffey said taking a quarter off helped him truly develop a sense of self. Likewise, Hawley said the quarter system lets students take time off to seek treatment without falling too far behind. Though the panel discussed serious topics such as anorexia, social anxiety and clinical depression, Coffey remained optimistic about the perception of mental illness and mental health on campus. “If people took the time to really look into it more, things would get a lot better,” Coffey said. jacobholland2020@u.northwestern.edu

NU-led project gets $6.3 million grant to improve patient feedback system Led by Northwestern, a consortium of nine universities received a $6.3 million grant to improve the use of patient-reported outcomes in medical care and research. The National Institutes of Health funded the project, which helps researchers and clinicians collect and use patient-reported outcomes. Patient-reported outcomes — direct reports from patients about their physical, mental and
social health status — have been found to be one of the best ways of improving the quality of research and health care, according to a press release. “This approach to direct, efficient acquisition and integration of patient-reported information represents the future of patient care and medical research, and this project paves the way to that future,” said Dr. Donald Lloyd-Jones, director of the Northwestern University Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute, in the press release. The Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System, a computerized tool that makes health surveys more efficient in evaluating and monitoring health, will be further integrated into patients’
Electronic Health Records (EHR) and medical information. NU already uses PROMIS and will lead a consortium of nine universities to integrate the tool with more EHRs. This will make it easier for health care systems throughout the country to streamline their surveys and compare results. The other eight universities are the University of Chicago, University of Illinois at Chicago, University of Alabama at Birmingham, University of Kentucky, University of Florida, University of Utah, Harvard University and Southern California Clinical Translational Science Institute.

Carr-Thorson rapport fuels Cats’ offensive surge By TIM BALK
daily senior staffer @timbalk
As they watched the Badgers clash with Northwestern in Madison last November, Wisconsin fans threw snowball after snowball onto the field. They fired off chunks of snow at refs, cheerleaders and each other. But down on the field, Wildcats quarterback Clayton Thorson barely threw the football at all. “I think we handed the ball off 50 times or something like that,” the now-sophomore quarterback remembered, only slightly overstating the number. The approach worked. NU emerged with a 13-7 victory in the Top-25 battle, escaping with a victory on a day that Thorson completed just nine passes. When the two teams meet back up this Saturday, the No. 8 Badgers will be greeted by a completely different NU offense. The Cats now boast one of the league’s most explosive passing attacks, and it is spearheaded by Thorson’s favorite target, senior Austin Carr. Thorson and Carr have forged a close relationship and awoke an offense that was in a deep slumber as recently as September, when the team managed just 7 points against FCS opponent Illinois State. Coming into Saturday, NU has thrown for at least 250 yards in three straight games. The friendship between the signal caller and receiver, which both compared to a “mentorship,” actually started before Thorson even arrived as a freshman. Carr said he first met Thorson when the quarterback visited NU the spring of his senior year in high school, and the two initially got to know each other through Athletes in Action, a Christian ministry on campus. “When (Thorson) ultimately ended up coming (to NU) and — being in the locker room with him and everything — it was just kind of a natural friendship,” Carr said. “He and I would meet weekly and just kind of talk about life.” The relationship blossomed. Thorson, who said building chemistry with all his receivers off the field is key to success on gameday, noted the time the two put in during the offseason has paid dividends in building on their rapport. “We’re just on the same page all the time. We talk through a lot of things, and I can get on him about something, he can get on me,” Thorson said. “We’ve got that good relationship. We can go both ways.” Carr, a former walk-on, entered the season with just 23 career receptions. Nine weeks later, he has more than tripled his career catch total and leads the Big Ten in total receptions, touchdown catches and receiving yards for the season. He is the conference’s top wide receiver by just about any metric, and the competition isn’t all that close. In the words of Thorson, who doesn’t hesitate to annoint the senior the best receiver in the league, Carr has “a lot of evidence” to back up such a claim. Carr said he tries to block out the noise around his sensational season, but admits he too is in awe of the numbers he’s putting up. “There’s a ton of talent across this league,” Carr said. “Sometimes I’m just amazed that I’m first, because I’ve been watching other guys … those guys are top-echelon athletes.” He’s also climbing the NU record books. Carr’s nine touchdown catches this season are already tied for the third most in singleseason program history, and he’s moved into the top 10 in program history in both singleseason receiving yards and career touchdown catches. Junior linebacker Anthony Walker compares Carr’s career path to a “fairy tale.”

“He’s really just taking the season by storm. He put in all that extra work in the offseason, and it’s actually paying off,” Walker said. “To see him go from a walk-on to the best wide receiver in the Big Ten is just crazy.” Carr’s senior year explosion has been made possible by the evolution of Thorson, who has been asked to make the jump from a gamemanager to a game-changer after starting in 2015 as a redshirt freshman. As offensive coordinator Mick McCall has opened up his playbook, Thorson has jumped from 11th in the conference in passing attempts a year ago to second this fall. Along the way, he already has thrown 15 touchdown passes, more than any other sophomore quarterback in NU history. “It’s been a lot of fun,” Thorson said. “Just like high school, just throwing the ball around the place.” The pass-heavy approach has allowed him to quickly move into 13th in program history

in passing yards. “He has kind of got that ‘it’ factor with timing in his head,” Carr said about the quarterback. “We didn’t so much have that last year, and I think that he was a little more tentative with his throws, less confident and a little more conservative. And, this year, it just feels like he’s letting it loose a lot more.” Last November, a conservative Thorson and a run-heavy approach produced 60 passing

yards for the quarterback and only one catch for Carr when NU took on the Badgers. This year, the weather forecasts to be in the mid-60s at Ryan Field when the two teams meet. There will be no snowballs to throw. However, Thorson is likely to throw the pigskin plenty and be looking to get it to his star wide receiver. timothybalk2018@u.northwestern.edu

Coaching movement is a ubiquitous aspect of college football. Big teams who failed to meet expectations look for hot commodities at mid-tier programs to return to their former glory. After the powerhouses take their pick of the available options, less glamorous schools pick up the pieces, either to fill the shoes of a coach who’s left for greener pastures or to replace one who wasn’t up to par. The same story plays out year after year, and, as with most parts of the topheavy sport, it leaves football’s middle class in limbo. Play too poorly and you’ll be forced to fire your coach and start over. Play too well and the coach who got you to that level will likely be poached away. Northwestern is a decidedly mid-level Big Ten school and is certainly one of the lower-profile jobs in the Power-5 conferences. But thanks to coach Pat Fitzgerald, it’s avoided the coaching churn and enjoyed a rare quality in college football: consistency at the head of the team. Fitzgerald is in his 11th season at the helm in Evanston. He’s the second-longest tenured coach in the Big Ten, after Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz. It stands in stark contrast with other Big Ten schools like Illinois, which has had five different coaches, including interims, since Fitzgerald took over the Wildcats in 2006. Fitzgerald has his flaws, but he’s done well enough (and better than almost every other coach in NU history) with a combined record of 74-60 and six bowl appearances. He’s adapted his style to the teams he had, leaning on his offense and defense alternately as time has passed. He recruits solidly, he usually makes the right choices during games and, outside of some Cats’ unionization efforts in 2014, he’s attracted little unwanted attention off the field. But Fitzgerald’s best quality might be his commitment to the job. For more than a decade, NU hasn’t had to spend time in transition or scrambling to hold onto a recruiting class with a new coach. And when the Cats find success, as in Fitzgerald’s two 10-win seasons in 2012 and 2015, they haven’t had to deal with a coaching search in the offseason. Fitzgerald’s name is often floated when big openings arise. He was rumored to be a target of Michigan’s search for a replacement for Rich Rodriguez in 2011 and was connected to Texas a few years ago. But now, 11 years in and with a contract that runs until 2020, it seems unlikely that Fitzgerald is going anywhere for a long time. If he’s not a Northwestern man, nobody is. NU will never have the talent or resources to expect to contend with the country’s best teams year in and year out. At most, the stars will align every so often for the Cats to put together a special season. But with Fitzgerald’s steady presence at the helm, NU will never squander one of those chances to break through while adjusting to a new coach. Given the circumstances of his hire following Randy Walker’s passing, the Cats couldn’t have done much better. Nobody knows just what motivates Fitzgerald except the man himself, and maybe some blue-blood school will come calling with an offer he can’t refuse in the near future. But at 41-years-old, he’s already cemented himself as a fixture at NU, and that’s the best thing the team has going for it today. Max Schuman is a McCormick junior.

Niswander vastly improves punting in one offseason By BEN POPE
the daily northwestern @benpope111
Hunter Niswander trotted onto the Outback Bowl field for his final punt of the 2015 season with a season average of 38.3 yards per punt, second-worst in the Big Ten. After receiving the snap, his punt traveled a mere 10 yards. Niswander’s season average dropped to 38.0, and he finished in last place. “Everyone had faith in me,” the now-junior punter said. “I just had to believe in myself.” Fast-forward 10 months, and Niswander has all the self-confidence in the world. He ranks second in the Big Ten with a 42.7yard average and fourth with a 62-yard long. He’s the organizer of a conference-wide tribute to punters Sam Foltz and Mike Sadler, who lost their lives in a July car accident. He’s been dubbed “Heiswander” on social media, alluding playfully to the Heisman Trophy, college football’s most prestigious award. A single year of working continuously with senior long snapper Chris Fitzpatrick and professional kicking coach Filip Filipovic has revolutionized Niswander’s effectiveness as a punter. “It’s just been a matter of focus in the offseason, working on the details, whether it’s mechanics, the steps, the drop,” Niswander said. “There’s a lot that goes into punting that people don’t necessarily see.” Each morning during the summer, Niswander and Fitzpatrick would lift and run together, then head out to the field to work on snapping and kicking. Niswander also supplemented that daily training with frequent visits with Filipovic, whom he’s worked with since high school. “With Hunter, I always felt that he had a really good ‘big punt’ … but that his bad kicks could’ve been better,” Filipovic said. “We needed to narrow down that spectrum of worst kick to best kick.” So, over the course of the offseason, Niswander and Filipovic worked together to adjust essentially every aspect of his punting technique. “The biggest thing we talked about was trying to be more relaxed with his steps, so he’s more balanced while he’s swinging through the ball,” Filipovic said. “By being more balanced, he would be able to bring more torque and make cleaner contact more often.” Niswander also flattened and lowered his drop in relation to his foot, shifted his weight farther forward during the kicking motion, took up Pilates to improve his balance and did exercises to strengthen his core muscles. In addition to his primary goals of improving his distance and hang time — “That’s pretty

much it in punting,” he said with a smile — Niswander also focused on becoming more reliable in windy situations — which require an even lower drop — and pinning punts inside the opponent’s 20-yard line. But the most motivating part of Niswander’s offseason was also the most tragic: a moment that reinforced the relative inconsequence of punting and football in general. Niswander was helping coach a youth camp in late July when Filipovic pulled him aside and told him that Foltz, Nebraska’s punter, and Sadler, Michigan State’s punter from 20112014, had died in a car crash the night before.
Niswander, who knew both personally, was stunned by the news. “Those guys were an inspiration to me,” he said. “Obviously they were great punters, so they were inspirational in that way, but they were also great guys off the field and in the community, so it inspired me going into this year to do the best I can do in everything that I do.” In August, Niswander orchestrated a movement among other Big Ten punters to write, in memorandum, “RIP SF” and “RIP MS” on their cleats this season. And on the gridiron, Niswander has honored them even more — by
NU, Badgers prep for another tight game By BOBBY PILLOTE
daily senior staffer @bobbypollite
There’s some magic in the air at Ryan Field, at least when Wisconsin comes to town. The Wildcats haven’t lost to the Badgers at home since 1999, an impressive streak covering four victories. Northwestern (4-4, 3-2 Big Ten) will look to stretch that run to five on Saturday when No. 8 Wisconsin (6-2, 3-2) rolls into Evanston. “That’s dope,” junior safety Godwin Igwebuike said, referring to the winning streak. “We have to keep that going.” All four of the Cats’ wins during that streak have been decided by fewer than 10 points, and NU also escaped with a 13-7 victory over Wisconsin last
year on the road. This game has the potential to decide the winner of the Big Ten’s West division, and NU is bracing for another down-to-the-wire finish against the team. And just like the last time the Cats and Badgers played at Ryan Field, Igwebuike should end up being a key player. The then-redshirt freshman came out of nowhere in 2014 to record three interceptions and almost single-handedly pull NU to an upset victory. Igwebuike will again have to shoulder much of the defensive load as the leader of the Cats inexperienced, patchwork secondary, but he seems confident in his ability to replicate the past two years’ results. “We’re ready for anybody,” Igwebuike said. “I don’t care if you’ve got a third arm. You’re throwing with a third arm, we’re still going to cover you up.” NU will hope Igwebuike can provide more of the

same, but a key difference from the past two games is the offense’s newfound passing success with receiver Austin Carr. The Badgers’ defense held the senior to just one catch in each of the teams’ last two meetings, a stark difference from this year, where Carr has had at least five receptions in every game. Carr’s ability to stretch the field vertically and rip off big gains could give the Cats more breathing room than they had in last season’s win or in their 20-14 victory in 2014. But knowing Wisconsin, Carr knows getting and keeping a lead won’t be easy. “We’ve got to play a four-quarter game. We’ve got to be mistake-free,” Carr said. “They’re going to make some plays too, and they’re a scrappy team. They’re one of the hardest playing teams I think we’re going to play all year.” Scrappiness proved critical in the last two matchups, whether it was Igwebuike catching Badgers running back Melvin Gordon from behind to stop a long touchdown in 2014, or then-redshirt freshman linebacker Nate Hall making a tackle at the one-yard line to prevent the go-ahead touchdown in 2015. But the Wisconsin defense may have the edge this year. Coach Pat Fitzgerald highlighted the unit’s eight returning starters, led by linebacker TJ Watt. The brother of NFL sack machine JJ Watt, TJ Watt is cut from the same cloth and leads the Badgers with seven sacks and 9.5 tackles for loss. “(Sophomore quarterback Clayton Thorson) is going to play one of the best defenses, if not the best defense, in the conference and in the country this weekend,” Fitzgerald said. “Those guys are relentless. They’re fun to watch.” With a trip to the Big Ten championship possibly on the line, the game is sure to be fiercely contested. And just like it has been year after year, that also means it should be close. bpillote@u.northwestern.edu
emulating their former excellence. If a good punt is defined as a one that travels at least 40 yards downfield and/or is downed inside the 20, Niswander has gone from meeting the “good” threshold on 54 percent of his punts last year to 81 percent of his punts in 2016. The days of 10-yard shanks and last-place averages seem far behind him. “Knowing what I’d experienced last year, what that was like,” he said, “I just wanted to be better and help the team out more this year.” benjaminpope2019@u.northwestern.edu
Anthony Walker to wear No. 11 vs. Badgers in honor of retired CB
Junior linebacker Anthony Walker will pay homage to retired cornerback Matthew Harris by donning Harris’ number for the Wildcats’ matchup against No. 8 Wisconsin on Saturday. Harris started only two games this season and did not return to the field after suffering a head injury in Northwestern’s September loss to Illinois State. He decided to retire from football about two weeks ago, a few days after the Cats’ win over Indiana. Though NU has already played since Harris’ retirement, Walker wanted to honor his roommate in Evanston. “We’ve been close since we walked onto campus together,” Walker said. “I just want him to physically be there when I wear the number.” The program announced Walker’s jersey change at the beginning of Monday’s press conference. Harris has a history of injuries, including multiple concussions, but when he saw the field he was a major part of the “Sky Team.” He was named a third-team All-Big Ten cornerback in 2015 as part of a secondary that allowed the fewest passing touchdowns in the country, and in 37 career games Harris recorded 161 tackles, six interceptions and three forced fumbles. Walker is tied for second on the team with 5.5 tackles for loss and third with 59 total tackles. He and Harris were both selected as team captains prior to the 2016 season. — Max Gelman

Residents, officials discuss proposed nature park By ZOE MILLER
the daily northwestern
Evanston residents voiced concerns about a proposed nature park at a 7th Ward meeting Thursday, with some saying creating the park on the border between Wilmette and Evanston would hurt existing trees. Ald. Eleanor Revelle (7th) led the meeting and said the park, which would include butterfly gardens, could disrupt the existing ecosystem. The plans for the nature park were presented at the meeting by Joe Keefe, a Winnetka resident. The Keefe family owns Fairway Oaks, a 1.1-acre area of undeveloped wetland. The family wants to build a road to make the property accessible and appealing to buyers. The road would run through land leased by Evanston from the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, so the Keefe family is petitioning the city for permission to build on the land. The Keefe family also proposed building a nature park along the road, which would remove invasive species and replant native species, particularly oak trees. “Re-habitation of overlooked land, move invasive species, replace with sensitive and sensible development…and the Cubs will win the World Series (next year) if you let us build here,” Keefe said when presenting the plan. But Revelle said the plan would disrupt the local ecosystem, and the young trees that would be planted wouldn’t be an adequate replacement for the older trees that the plan removes. “It’s an area with a really large number of mature trees, trees that really provide good habitat and food for birds and wildlife,” Revelle told The Daily. Revelle polled the attendees to see if they would prefer the proposed nature park or if the property would be more beneficial if it remained a wetland. The majority of residents voted in favor of leaving the land as is. Ultimately, the decision on whether or not to approve the plan will be up to the city. Keefe presented the plans for the nature park
from an ecological assessment and restoration plan prepared by Ecology + Vision LLC. The wetland is not actually healthy in its current state, according to the assessment, because it was not always a wetland, but has become one as an unintended effect of nearby construction projects. Now, native plants in the area don’t flourish, and invasive species grow out of control. Paul D’Agostino, Evanston’s environmental services bureau chief, and he said the plan is in accordance with Evanston’s laws regarding cutting and planting trees. The plan would plant more trees than it would remove, he added. “If this plan were to go through, they would be required to place the trees by a certain percentage depending on what species were removed,” D’Agostino said. zoemiller2020@u.northwestern.edu
ART HIST 350-2: 19TH CENTURY ART 2
NINETEENTH-CENTURY EUROPEAN ART AND ARCHITECTURE: 1851-1900 Professors S. Hollis Clayson, Stephen Eisenman, David Van Zanten The course will study a wide range of developments in European art from the second half of the 1800s, a fabled era of innovation in painting, sculpture, urban transformation, architecture, printmaking, photography, and World’s Fairs. The course will analyze art in light of a constellation of explanatory factors (“causes”): personal, aesthetic, technical, gender, social, ethnic, political, economic, and institutional. The primary focus will be the foremost vanguards (avant-gardes) of the era, individuals and groups who contested norms and authorities, but we will also consider competing forms of visual culture. You can expect to study Realism (Gustave Courbet), Pre-Raphaelitism, Impressionism (Monet, Morisot, Cassatt, Renoir, Pissarro, Caillebotte and others), “Post-Impressionism” (Van Gogh, Seurat, Gauguin, Cézanne) and Symbolism. In the sphere of architecture and design, we will trace the impact of John Ruskin and William Morris, and you will see the work of, for example, Charles Garnier (architect of the Paris Opéra) and Viollet-le-Duc, and continuing in the Art Nouveau designs of Hector Guimard and Henri Van de Velde, followed by Otto Wagner and Adolph Loos, Auguste Perret and Tony Garnier, Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright. Because of the cultural authority of Paris in these years, French art and architecture will claim most of our time, but the entanglements of France with cultures and nations beyond France will figure prominently.

Certificate Program for Undergraduates
Northwestern heads to Michigan for two games By JONAH DYLAN
the daily northwestern @thejonahdylan
For students interested in careers in business, finance, consulting, economics, non-profit or policy development. Wednesday, November 9, 2016 5 pm to 6 pm Owen L. Coon Forum: 2001 Sheridan Road, Evanston Financial Economics Certificate consists of four courses:
Managerial Analytics Certificate consists of four courses:
- Principles of Finance - Investments - Derivatives - Topics in Financial Economics
- Principles of Finance - Competitive Strategy - Operations & Supply Chain - Topics in Managerial Analytics
RSVP at: kellogg.northwestern.edu/certificate
Time is running out for Northwestern to turn things around. The Wildcats (8-16, 1-11 Big Ten) face a two-game road trip to the state of Michigan this weekend, taking on No. 16 Michigan State (19-5, 8-4) on Friday and No. 17 Michigan (186, 7-5) on Saturday. Although NU will play two ranked teams on consecutive nights, it represents the easier part of the next two weeks. The Cats will come back from the road trip and take on No. 2 Minnesota and No. 3 Wisconsin next weekend. Junior setter Taylor Tashima said playing on the road takes an added layer of focus, especially for freshmen such as libero Sarah Johnson. “You really have to zone in more,” Tashima said. “I’ve played at Michigan State and Michigan. Some of the girls, like (Johnson), she hasn’t played in either of these gyms before. It just depends on how much experience you have.” NU will have to lean on Johnson and the rest of its passers Friday night in East Lansing. The Spartans lead the Big Ten with a whopping 2.06 aces per set. No other Big Ten team has more than 1.67. Michigan State also a boasts a balanced offensive attack, with two hitters in the top five in the Big Ten in hitting percentage. Tashima said the key to beating the Wolverines on Saturday night will be slowing down senior middle blocker Abby Cole. “She’s (6-foot-5), super athletic. She can hit it from any pin,” Tashima said. “Definitely slowing her down is a key because we can challenge them with our offense as well.” The Cats might also have a tough time scoring, as Michigan sophomore libero Jenna Lerg ranks first in the Big Ten with 4.38 digs per set.
Northwestern vs. No. 16 Michigan State East Lansing, Michigan 5:30 p.m. Friday
Northwestern vs. No. 17 Michigan Ann Arbor, Michigan 6 p.m. Saturday
NU fell to the Wolverines 25-17, 25-18, 25-13 back on Oct. 12 in Evanston. Junior middle blocker Gabrielle Hazen said the Cats are looking to avenge that loss. “We played Michigan once before and didn’t play great against them,” she said. “We’re really looking forward to proving ourselves and playing with a little chip on our shoulder.” Coach Shane Davis said NU needs to get production out of the libero and defensive specialist positions. He added the Cats will likely continue to lean on Hazen and junior outside hitter Symone Abbott, who ranks fifth in the Big Ten with 3.88 kills per set. Abbott’s 326 kills this season are more than the next two players, Hazen and senior middle blocker Maddie Slater, combined. Davis said although the Cats haven’t had the most successful season, he’s seen improvement. He said NU has to be better closing out sets, pointing to last weekend’s game at Iowa when the Cats blew a 22-18 lead to lose the set 25-22. “When you look at the wins and losses, it doesn’t seem like an improvement,” he said. “But we feel like we’ve taken a big jump, just in our level of play on a daily basis.” Hazen said NU continues to grow as a team, and the key to winning is for everyone to do their part. “We can all just be one point better, and that adds up,” Hazen said. jonahdylan2020@u.northwestern.edu

From page 1 something like this can have and that the group will work toward making sure it doesn’t happen again. “We don’t want to offend anyone, and we hope everyone enjoyed the event otherwise,” Ganatra said. During the rest of the talk, Fiasco opened up about his faith and his ongoing struggles with it, which he said, for him, began at birth. “I was born Muslim, but not raised Muslim,” Fiasco said. “It was my religion, not my culture.” Fiasco said he was 13 years-old when he felt the full weight of the responsibility of maintaining his faith, something he said he was unprepared for. He went on to describe his feelings of alienation from the religious institution of Islam, to which the audience responded with nods and snaps. “I don’t know if we had speakers like him
POLICE
From page 1 crowd. Martínez said that after he saw about eight police officers swarming one man outside the stadium, he began asking why so many officers responded to the situation, while Pickus filmed the confrontation with his phone. Martínez said his comment led to a conversation about police violence with a young woman whom they did not know. Later in the night, Isaacson said he alerted the group that nearby police appeared to be looking at them and gesturing toward their group. Martínez said three officers then pushed through the crowd, grabbed them from behind and led them into the center of a circle of police before taking them past a barricade by the stadium. After the
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2016 when I was here,” Sarah Iftekhar (Weinberg ’05), Muslim Alumni Association vice president, told The Daily. “He’s certainly high profile … and I think the association has done a great job with instances like this in reaching out to the greater Northwestern community.”
Lina Lemke, a high school sophomore at Lane Tech High School in Chicago who attended the event, told The Daily that she could relate to Fiasco’s experiences. “I felt that pressure when I was that age,” Lemke said. “I wanted to take on that responsibility to better myself but I thought it was just me, just part of my personality, until he spoke about it.” McCormick freshman Fatima Alkhunaizi told The Daily that Fiasco’s talk exceeded her expectations, especially as someone “who didn’t know anything about him” going into the event. Fiasco said while it hasn’t always been easy or fun, he isn’t deterred from what his faith is supposed to be. “Faith isn’t about any of that,” Fiasco said. “It’s about, in the face of all of that, how you retain your goodness. … The things that worked for your grandparents don’t work for us anymore, and that is part of faith too.”
”
We were unaware that the joke was going to happen, but we do not condone any offensive speech. Rimsha Ganatra, McSA president
Audience members said they related to Fiasco’s feelings about the pressure of having to live up and take ownership of their own religion.
SOCIAL
From page 1 have a “great” working relationship, Loellbach said. Library employees in the past have notified Connections if a patron is in need of housing support. An outreach worker for Connections also frequently visits EPL and other community centers, such as hospitals and police stations to see if services are needed, Loellbach said. Apart from offering the city’s homeless shelter and financial support to those on the verge of homelessness, Connections also refers those they help to other agencies who can assist them in other ways. A full-time social worker at EPL will be able to help them do that, Loellbach said. “Perhaps the social worker at the library will find out whatever kinds of services people need that we can’t provide and start initiating some of those other contacts even faster than we can,” she said. If approved in the proposed budget, the social worker would start in July 2017.

three students were patted down, they said they sat with their backs against the wall of the stadium without communicating with one another, for fear of drawing further suspicion. It was during that time the Cubs recorded their final out, and the crowd went wild. “It was sort of a cinematic moment,” Isaacson said. “As the fireworks went off, we were just sitting there, staring ahead, watching other people celebrating.” Pickus and Martínez said the police officer who used a racial slur also referred to Martínez, who identifies as mixed Latino, as “Malcolm X” throughout the incident. Pickus said the officer asked him about Isaacson, who is white, asking, “What’s a nice kid doing hanging out with a spic and Malcolm X?” The students said they were later released one by one.
The Chicago Police Department’s Office of News Affairs told The Daily in an email that if individuals feel they have been mistreated by police, they should report the incident to the Independent Police Review Authority, which reviews alleged police misconduct. IPRA’s public information officer Mia Sissac reiterated that suggestion, declining to comment on a situation with which she was not familiar. Martínez said he’s not sure if he’ll report the incident to IPRA, citing a lack of confidence in the office. He also said he plans to reach out to some administrators about the incident, saying he would like to get some sort of official statement from the University about its students being “mistreated and racially profiled” by police.

norashelly2019@u.northwestern.edu Telles-Irvin and Dean of Students Todd Adams were not immediately available for comment. University spokesman Al Cubbage did not respond to a request for comment. Pickus said his neck hurt after the incident, but otherwise, he felt no lasting harm was done. Similarly, Isaacson said the group was lucky the incident wasn’t worse than it was because “that’s not the case for most people.” “As Northwestern students, we usually get away with a lot things that people in a lot of different parts of the city don’t,” Isaacson said. “It’s odd that this is the first time a majority of my social circle at Northwestern is hearing about someone they know having this kind of encounter.” juliajacobs2018@u.northwestern.edu shanem@u.northwestern.edu

THE CENTER FOR THE WRITING ARTS DON’T MISS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE A UNIQUE WRITING COURSE WITH OUR OWN ONE BOOK ONE NORTHWESTERN AUTHOR
“THE ART OF NONFICTION: TELLING STORIES” Winter Quarter 2017 with Center for the Writing Arts Writer in Residence ALEX KOTLOWITZ CTEC comments about Kotlowitz’s course – ** I loved this course! Alex pushed me to think critically and express my thoughts concisely .... he challenged me to understand what makes writing "good." ... He's dedicated to helping his students become good writers. ** This is going to go down as one of my favorite/most memorable class that I have taken at NU. COURSE DESCRIPTION: There is such beauty and power in storytelling. The best of nonfiction narrative pokes and prods our preconceptions, pushing us to imagine the world through the eyes of others. What makes for a compelling story? How can we make nonfiction read like literature? How do we tell true stories that are both intimate and vivid? We’ll explore the craft of reporting and research which borrows from a variety of disciplines, including anthropology, history and sociology -and work with rigor and discipline on the art of good writing. We’ll read nonfiction narratives – both book and magazine articles (and listen to some radio) – on a host of subjects, ranging from war and poverty to the environment and sports. We’ll work in this class as a professional writer might, from draft to draft. There will be regular writing assignments, and students will be asked to craft a longer narrative on a subject of their choosing. The course will be run as a seminar so there will be an emphasis on critical class discussion – and workshopping your writing.

NU will advance to the semifinals of the tournament, going up against No. 1-seed Maryland. The teams last played in September, when the Cats stunned the then-No. 6 Terrapins 3-2.

I didn’t like the way we sat back a little bit in the second half. But we got to the TV timeout and we started to push a little more. Tracey Fuchs, field hockey head coach
Friday’s game will have even higher stakes, though, as the winner advancing to the Big Ten Tournament finals on Sunday “This win puts us in (the NCAA Tournament) if there’s no upsets in any of the tournaments, and unfortunately that happens,” Fuchs said. “We’re looking forward to playing No. 3 in the country Maryland tomorrow, but this was a hard fought game, and Iowa is a damn good team, and it took us 70 minutes to win that game.” danwaldman2019@u.northwestern.edu

offensive chances may be difficult to create. However, sophomore midfielder Marisa Viggiano remained confident that the offense will find its way. “We’ve been creating chances,” Viggiano said. “Now we just have to focus on getting the ball into the back of the net.” Against a Cats defense that leads the nation in goals allowed, the Scarlet Knights should also have significant troubles on offense. NU’s defense has been absolutely stifling as of late; they have not allowed a goal in 580 minutes, or more than five games. Even if it creates chances, Rutgers should have trouble getting by Cats’ junior goalkeeper Lauren Clem. Clem became the first player in program history to be named Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year, leading NU to 15 clean sheets this season.
“
Any team’s going to be a little bit scared if they give up a goal to use at any point in this stage. Michael Moynihan, women’s soccer coach
Coach Michael Moynihan said because of the Cats’ incredible defense, just one NU goal could have great implications. “Any team’s going to be a little bit scared if they give up a goal to us at any point in this stage,” Moynihan said. “It would give us a huge psychological boost.” For the Cats, the key to victory could be early offense. In games where NU has scored a goal in the first half this season, it’s 7-0-0. Moreover, when teams have scored against Rutgers in the first half this year, the Scarlet Knights have gone 1-2-2. The Scarlet Knights also found a way to win against NU by scoring in the 31st minute this season. But junior defender Nikia Smith was certain that this wouldn’t happen again. “We need to come out really strong this game,” Smith said. “They are not putting another ball into the back of the net.” robinsonmarkus2019@u.northwestern.edu

chances, and we’ll have to capitalize on them,” senior defender Nathan Dearth said. For the seniors on the team, Sunday is an ultimatum of sorts. Win and survive, or lose and face the fact that their college soccer careers are done. “Every time you play Indiana you have to bring your A-game,” Dearth said. “This could be the last game for us seniors, so we’ll be playing like it’s our last.” martinjohnson2019@u.northwestern.edu

COLLEGE PARK, Maryland — Northwestern traveled 700 miles to avenge its overtime loss to Iowa, making sure to bury the Hawkeyes early. The fourth-seeded Wildcats (12-7, 5-3 Big Ten) left no doubt Thursday in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament, defeating fifth-seed Iowa (12-4, 4-4) 3-1. NU last played the Hawkeyes in October, losing 2-1 in overtime. with the But team’s NCAA Tournament hopes possibly on the line, the Cats took no time to squash any chance of a Hawkeye comeback.

the net first for the Cats, scoring on a rebound after a penalty corner and giving NU the lead just 10 minutes into the game. Senior forward Isabel Flens, who was named to the All-Big Ten first-team, followed Masters with another goal just two minutes later. Flens capitalized on a penalty shot, scoring her team-leading 16th goal of the season, after freshman midfielder Saar de Breij was taken out by Iowa’s goalie. Masters said scoring early gave the team a sense of confidence that it didn’t always have during the regular season. “We had a bit of a lull at some points in the season where we let teams back in,” Masters said. “It’s great to have that kind of two-goal lead.” When NU last played the Hawkeyes, the Cats carried a 1-0 lead into the second half, only to concede three minutes into the second half. Iowa prevailed in overtime, upsetting then-No. 9 NU. Even going into the half up 2-0, the Cats couldn’t get complacent. But NU let up. Hawkeyes midfielder Sophie

Plasteras finally got the better of Cats senior goalkeeper Lindsay von der Luft, capitalizing on the second of back-to-back penalty corners early in the second half. Fuchs said the goal made her a little uneasy, but the team was able to contain Iowa’s goal-scorers, especially senior forward Natalie Cafone. “I didn’t like the way we sat back a little bit in the second half,” Fuchs said. “But we got to the TV timeout and we started to push a little more.” NU junior back and first-team All-Big Ten selection Sophia Miller said the team tried not to let the conceded goal unnerve the defense. “Just staying strong, staying composed, especially after they scored in the second half was important,” Miller said. “We dropped a few more players back, and keeping them to the outsides was really important.” Ultimately, the Cats held on for the win, as with just under four minutes left in the game, Masters answered with her second goal of the game, crushing Iowa’s hope of another overtime comeback. » See FIELD HOCKEY, page 17

On Sunday, the Wildcats (6-10-1, 3-4-1 Big Ten) will travel to Bloomington to face No. 8 Indiana (101-6, 3-0-5) in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament. The game will not be an easy task, but NU has risen to the occasion before, playing the Hoosiers to a 0-0 draw back in September. In that game, Indiana dominated play, taking 28 shots to the Cats’ three. But NU’s defense held up under duress, allowing only six shots on goal. “The guys defended out of their mind,” senior midfielder Brandon Medina said. “We knew we weren’t going to have the ball a lot, so everyone was committed to defending.” The Hoosiers are coming into Sunday’s game on a two-game winning streak in which they outscored their opponents 7-1. The two-game winning streak is a part of a larger unbeaten streak, as Indiana hasn’t lost a game since Oct. 4, when it lost to Notre Dame 4-0. But NU has showed good form in

the past weeks as well, going 4-1-0 in its past five games, including a 2-1 overtime victory over the thenNo. 4 Fighting Irish. Much of the Cats’ recent success has stemmed from their new formation, which features three center backs on NU’s defensive line. “We were able to tweak a few things,” coach Tim Lenahan said. “(The new formation) allows us to maximize our personnel.” The Cats’ tactical change has also given life to its attack, leading to an increase in scoring. On the season, NU has scored 15 goals, but seven of them have come in the past five games. Despite the offensive surge, the Cats know that the name of the game on Sunday will be defense. Indiana has scored 26 goals on the season and averages over 1.5 goals per game. Facing one of the top teams in the country, NU realizes that its chances to score will be scarce. “ We’ll get maybe one or two » See MEN’S SOCCER, page 17

tournament. NU has not lost since it played Rutgers on Sept. 23 in its only defeat of the season. The stakes of this semifinal match could not be higher for a Cats team that has already claimed its first Big Ten title in the program’s history. In NU’s first matchup against the Scarlet Knights, Rutgers controlled every aspect of the game. The Scarlet Knights ripped 20 shots to the Cats’ three, becoming the only team to put up more than one goal against NU all season. Although the Cats again proved their ability to grind out a win in the quarterfinals of the tournament, topping Nebraska in a penalty kick shootout, they’ll need to come out strong against the Scarlet Knights. Rutgers rocked co-Big Ten champion Penn State 2-0 in the quarterfinals of the tournament, and it’s proven its ability to defeat top teams, taking out both NU and No. 16 Connecticut by a score of 2-0 this season. In addition, the Scarlet Knights’ dominant defense may be a problem for the Cats. This year, Rutgers is third in the Big Ten in goals allowed, with 15.
