Psychological Services if needed. But when Alye Miller did so earlier this quarter after the death of a close friend, she found herself referred to outside treatment within two sessions. Miller, a Communication senior, found herself “out of control” of her own feelings when her friend, incoming Weinberg senior Scott
Boorstein, took his own life in September. She reached out to CAPS this fall after already using eight sessions as a freshman, believing that the recent elimination of the center’s 12-session limit would guarantee her the grief counseling she needed. But Miller said she was disappointed to hear that the center was not able to fill
her needs due to a scarcity of long-term care resources. “I thought they got rid of the session limit,” she said. “I thought CAPS had redeemed itself in my book. But they hadn’t.” Miller is not the only student who reported being referred out by CAPS earlier
arrested on Nov. 3 at the Fort Hood military post in Killeen, Texas, according to a news release. Kyle was previously named in April as a suspect in BradfordMandujano’s murder. Bradford-Mandujano, 20, was murdered in the 1300 block of Darrow Avenue on Jan. 19 just after 9 p.m. The Evanston Police Department issued a warrant for first degree murder for Kyle.
Kyle was stopped by military police as he was attempting to enter Fort Hood. In his car, police allegedly found 300 grams of marijuana and four firearms — three of which had been reported stolen in Texas. Kyle threw a puppy in the face of a military police officer and tried to flee on foot, but was taken into custody, the news release said.
Officials later discovered Kyle was being sought by the U.S. Marshals Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force in connection with the murder of Bradford-Mandujano. Kyle has yet to be formally charged. EPD is working with the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office and Texas authorities to continue the investigation.
Northwestern alumnus Newton Minow (Speech ‘49, Law ‘50) received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the White House announced Wednesday. The prize, considered the highest civilian honor in the United States, was awarded to 21 individuals. Recipients were chosen for their contributions to the security or national interests of the country, cultural pursuits or world peace. After being appointed by President John F. Kennedy to serve on the Federal Communications Commission, Minow drafted legislation to advocate for the implementation of communication satellite technology and served as chair of the commission. He is also the originator of the televised U.S. presidential debates, and he co-chaired the debates in 1976 and 1980, according to a news release In 1975, Minow joined the Board of Trustees and became a Life Trustee 12 years later. Since then, the University used part of a $4 million gift to establish a professorship at the Pritzker School of Law in honor of Minow. The gift also helped fund a School of Law debate series named after Minow and his wife. “The Presidential Medal of Freedom is not just our nation’s highest civilian honor – it’s a tribute to the idea that all of us, no matter where we come from, have the opportunity to change this country for the better,” President Barack Obama said in a news release. “From scientists, philanthropists and public servants to activists, athletes and artists, these 21 individuals have helped push America forward, inspiring millions of people around the world along the way.” Other recipients of the award include Bill and Melinda Gates, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Ellen DeGeneres, Michael Jordan, Tom Hanks and Bruce Springsteen. The awards will be presented Nov. 22 at the White House.

Brandeis study says NU is antiSemitic ‘hotspot’ By ERICA SNOW
daily senior staffer @ericasnoww
Jewish leaders and students disputed the credibility of a Brandeis University study released in October that names Northwestern an anti-Semitic and anti-Israel “hotspot.” The study found that of 68 NU respondents, 70 percent said they at least somewhat perceived a hostile environment on campus toward Israel, and 28 percent said they at least somewhat agreed they perceived hostility toward Jews on campus. Additionally, 9 percent of respondents said they experienced an in-person antiSemitic insult or harassment on campus, and 17 percent reported feeling unwelcome at some point. But Michael Simon, Hillel’s executive director, said he believes the study is misleading. Simon said it is important to differentiate between students feeling uncomfortable and feeling threatened for their lives. “I don’t want to say there’s not anti-Israel sentiment because there is,” Simon said. “To characterize the atmosphere as being one that is pervasively anti-Semitic or even pervasively anti-Israel is just not born out in the lived experience of our students.” However, Simon also said there have been times Jewish students felt uncomfortable on campus, such as when Associated Student Government Senate passed a controversial resolution sponsored by NU Divest. The study, which also examined 49 other universities, estimated that NU’s undergraduate student body is roughly 15 percent Jewish, or about 1,400 students. Rabbi Dov Hillel Klein, the leader of Tannenbaum Chabad House and the advisor of Alpha Epsilon Pi, said while he wouldn’t call NU an anti-Semitic and anti-Israel “hotspot,” there is no empirical way to measure if NU is an anti-Semitic campus. However, it is clear that some students perceive it that way, he said. “Whether it’s reality or not, » See REPORT, page 9

Illinois politicians discuss budget priorities By NORA SHELLY

With the clock ticking on the state’s stopgap spending bill, legislative leaders met with Gov. Bruce Rauner this week to discuss budget priorities. After a year-long budget impasse, the General Assembly passed a six-month stopgap spending bill in late June that is set to run out on Dec. 31. A veto session started this week, in which Rauner and

John Cullerton (D-Chicago) and Republican legislative leaders Tuesday. Both Rauner and Madigan described the meeting with amicable terms. After the meeting, however, Madigan announced he was appointing a negotiating team for the House Democrats led by Rep. Greg Harris (D-Chicago).
Harris and other team members would be responsible for “balancing the budget and adopting a budget for the remainder of the fiscal year,” Madigan said. Senate Republican leader Rep. Christine Radogno (R-Lemont) said she was confused by Madigan’s announcement. “ This discussion now about balancing the budget … needs to be at the leaders level,” she said. “There was no agreement that there be another round of negotiating » See BUDGET, page 9

County board approves soda tax, cuts By NORA SHELLY
daily senior staffer @noracshelly
The Cook County Board of Commissioners approved their 2017 budget this week, which includes a tax on sweetened beverages and cuts to county staff. The budget, approved by a 11-4 vote Tuesday, includes staff reductions of 300 Cook County employees and a promise to reduce the number of inmates at Cook County jail. It also comes along with an ordinance passed last week that pledges not to raise any sales, property or home rule income taxes more than inflation rises for the next two years. Apart from the staff reductions, the budget also includes further steps to reduce the county’s administrative footprint. It calls for reducing the properties owned by the county by nearly 1 million square feet, reducing the physical size of the Cook County Jail and focusing on outpatient rather than inpatient care in the Cook County Health and Hospitals System. Cook County Commissioner Larry Suffredin said in a statement on his website that he voted for the budget because it meets the needs residents have for “efficient services.” It is Suffredin’s 14th budget during his time in
office. He voted in favor of the first 11 budgets and against the last two because they didn’t provide that sort of efficiency, he said. “Over the last two years I have complained about the lack of planning and coordination between the budgets and the real needs of the County,” he said in the statement. “This budget does that planning and coordination.”
“
I’m expecting a relatively smooth year. We have a balanced budget which meets all of our needs. Larry Suffredin, Cook County commissioner
The County has taken steps to shrink administrative spending in the past. The county’s workforce is 10 percent smaller than it was in 2010, according to a budget document. In a budget document, Cook County Board of Commissioners President Toni Preckwinkle said the sweetened beverage tax was essential to funding
POLICE BLOTTER Woman charged with possession of ammunition, alcohol
A 20-year-old Skokie woman was arrested Wednesday in connection with possessing alcohol and ammunition without a license. Officers stopped a vehicle in south Evanston after officers on patrol noticed the car did not have a rear bumper, Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said. Officers noticed an open water bottle with a dark colored liquid in it at the driver’s feet, who then confirmed it was alcohol. The vehicle smelled of “burnt cannabis,” Dugan said. Officers also found 15 live rounds of ammunition, but the driver did not have an Illinois Firearm

county services, as they would be “confronted with a decline of $62.2 million in revenues” without the sweetened beverages tax. Money from the tax will be going toward funding the 1,000 public safety positions that were at risk under a funding shortfall, according to the document. Suffredin told The Daily the budget effectively dealt with potential financial problems that could come up in 2017. “I’m expecting a relatively smooth year,” he said. “We have a balanced budget which meets all of our needs. … It’s a well-crafted budget.” Suffredin said in his statement he supports the budget because of its efforts to streamline spending on administrative costs, provide adequate resources for the Circuit Court of Cook County and continue to fund the county’s pension funds. The budget includes over $170 million in cuts. A $174.3 million budget shortfall was predicted in June, a news release from Preckwinkle said. She said in the release the cuts were necessary. “Almost exactly a year ago I cautioned that FY 2017 would be a challenge and I believe we have responded with a responsible and responsive budget,” Preckwinkle said in the news release.
Owner’s Identification Card. She was charged with misdemeanor possession of ammunition without a FOID and minor in possession of alcohol. She was also issued a traffic citation for her missing bumper, Dugan said.
Shots reported near Robert Crown
Two callers reported hearing four to five shots fired near the Robert Crown Community Center at about 11 p.m. on Wednesday. One caller said they saw flashlights in the field adjacent to Robert Crown when they looked out, Dugan said. When police checked the area, nothing was located.

ASG committee aims to reduce waste at Ryan Field By TROY CLOSSON
the daily northwestern
Associated Student Government’s Sustainability Committee is developing a plan to reduce waste at Ryan Field and other Northwestern athletic facilities. Although strides have already been made in promoting sustainability initiatives in other areas of campus life, committee member Dylan Kennedy said the committee’s attention has now turned to reducing waste produced during NU athletic programs and events. “We’ve made a lot of progress in other areas, but sports facilities are very energy and resource intensive, so we’re trying to make the largest improvements there,” the McCormick freshman said. ASG’s recent sustainability measures have largely focused on developments in residential dining, Kennedy said. Goals like composting and recycling food products have been at the forefront of the committee’s actions because those goals are more easily achievable in the short term, he said. Committee member Jessica Collins, a Weinberg sophomore, said the committee’s attention to sustainability efforts at Ryan Field are ongoing and she hopes their work will lead to change next year. “Last year, we were in a lot of talk with Sodexo management to try and facilitate what they do when buying the products to make sure they’re

recyclable and compostable,” Collins said. “It didn’t happen this year, but we’re trying to put more pressure on them to make sure it happens next year.” Communication issues between Sodexo and the committee have, at times, impeded progress,
she said, making it seem like speaking to students about environmental issues “isn’t a priority” for Sodexo. Sara Chapperon, Sodexo’s director of marketing, said Sodexo has been making adjustments based on the ASG committee’s work and
2007 Pulitzer Prize in poetry for “Native Guard,” a collection of poems which covered topics ranging from black soldiers who served in the South during the Civil War to her mother’s interracial marriage, which was then illegal. In addition to winning the Pulitzer prize, Trethewey was also appointed by the Library of Congress to be the United States’ 19th Poet Laureate from 2012 to 2014. The responsibility of the Poet Laureate is to increase the nation’s appreciation of reading and
writing poetry. Trethewey currently teaches at Emory University in Atlanta, where she has been for 15 years, according to a news release. Trethewey said she’s excited to work at NU. “It seems to me that, at Northwestern, the opportunities for meaningful, exciting and important new work in teaching and research are boundless,” Trethewey said in the news release. English department chair Prof. Laurie Shannon said having Trethewey join the University’s
has already introduced sustainability signage throughout the first level of Ryan Field. Chapperon said a potential zero waste program is being developed, but due to the many players involved in the process, Sodexo has to be mindful of these players as the planning progresses. “We need to make sure we’re speaking with the right people at the right time to ensure we can move (the program) forward,” Chapperon said. “It’s not that progress is at all stalled.” Although the Sustainability Committee already has made many efforts to reduce waste at the university, “the hardest step” is making students aware of these programs, Kennedy said. SESP freshman Isabel Dobbel said the items available for purchase at Ryan Field also contribute to the challenge of achieving zero waste. Souvenir fountain cups, for example, were supposed to be a solution to recycling, Dobbel said, but a majority of the cups still end up in the trash. Despite trouble spreading information to the NU community, Dobbel said the significance of ASG’s sustainability efforts at Ryan Field lies in the positive message the initiative sends to the surrounding community. “Overall, Northwestern’s a very green campus, but that’s not including the stadium which is somewhere that many families come together to support Northwestern,” Dobbel said. “We want to say we’re not just here to gather and cheer, but we’re also here to better the environment.” troyclosson2020@u.northwestern.edu
faculty will “enrich” the current undergraduate curriculum and “catalyze” development of the graduate program. “Her fine-grained engagement with questions of race and memory will bring us not only literary distinction, but also a profound observing eye on our times, and the lingering histories that brought us here,” Shannon told The Daily in an email.

after CAPS session limit is lifted, studen
Illustration and Design by KT Son
CAPS
From page 1 than expected. Despite the removal of CAPS’s 12-session limit in April, students said in interviews with The Daily that they felt pushed to find help outside the center. And after the University announced an end to long-term counseling at the Women’s Center, students
remain uncertain of what resources are available to them on campus. But CAPS executive director John Dunkle said the lift on the 12-session limit was never meant to turn CAPS into a long-term counseling center. “When we lifted the session limit, it did not mean that we were going to be able to see every student forever for everything,” Dunkle said. “Like most counseling centers across the country, we still have a short-term therapy model.”
Contention over CAPS
A year and a half ago, CAPS drew criticism after Jason Arkin, a McCormick junior who was on the CAPS waitlist, took his own life in May 2015. Looking back on his son’s history with depression, his father, Steven Arkin, criticized how quickly the center referred Jason out after one phone call. According to medical records obtained by The Daily in 2015, Jason Arkin was told there was a waitlist for CAPS services despite admitting to a center staff member that he had “fleeting thoughts of self-harm.” According to CAPS’s 2013-14 annual report, 23.3 percent of undergraduate students who utilized CAPS self-reported that they have seriously considered suicide. “(CAPS) aske d t his
freshman who was just getting ready to start his first final in the fall of his freshman year to go out and get help on his own,” Steven Arkin said. “That’s where the big disconnect is. … You can’t get in the front door on the first try.” This April, vice president for student affairs Patricia Telles-Irvin announced a decision to remove the session limit in an email to students. But in September, some students criticized the University after the Office of the Provost announced to students in an email that the Women’s Center would no longer provide the long-term counseling it had for 30 years. Linzer said the change was meant to consolidate counseling in one place on campus. Staff at the Women’s Center deferred comment to Dunkle and University administrators. Telles-Irvin said she was unavailable for comment before the time of publication. Responding to criticism about the Women’s Center changes, Provost Dan Linzer said in an October interview with The Daily that the change came after a years-long process, including student focus groups that were lightly attended. The Women’s Center reports directly to the Office of the Provost, which he said does not have the proper expertise to oversee health care. “We have not ended long-term counseling,” Linzer said. “We need to ensure that that kind of health care is conducted with the highest standards and in the best forms of practice.” Dunkle said there exists some opportunity at CAPS for long-term counseling, but each CAPS counselor can only take up to two long-term cases per year. SESP senior Jacob Rosenblum, who has completed seven sessions of counseling so far, had only positive input on his treatment. He said his therapist agreed to continue working with him next quarter. “I think (lifting the cap) gives the therapists more independence in how they can cater to students,” Rosenblum said. But CAPS does not grant everyone a longterm plan, and many students are referred out. After being diagnosed with depression in middle school, Miller said she has gone back and forth between psychological highs and lows ever
since. Facing a new set of challenges in college, she began seeking assistance through CAPS. She had her first encounter with CAPS as a freshman in 2014, when she received eight counseling sessions for anxiety. She said the sessions helped, noting that her panic attacks became less frequent. But when Miller reached back out to CAPS sophomore year to finish four more sessions before hitting the limit, she was referred out. She did not call again until her senior year, after Boorstein died. But despite the elimination of the cap, she was referred out again during her second session. “It’s just really messed up that they don’t have the resources to be what they claim to be,” Miller said. “Maybe if the University touted CAPS as a resource to find other mental health (services) in Evanston, that would be a more accurate description.”
Behind the decision
McCormick senior Wendy Roldan was Associated Student Government vice president for student life when the session limit was lifted. Roldan participated in the task force that helped research the University’s decision to lift the cap and implement “personalized care plans,” which allow therapists to determine each individual students’ needs upon their first meeting. Roldan said much of the research from the task force — which was led by Telles-Irvin and included administrators, CAPS staff and other students — involved investigating how other schools handle session limits and what would be best for NU’s campus. Dunkle said after reviewing similarly-sized institutions, the task force found that having a session limit did not influence a student’s average number of counseling sessions. Students at
these institutions and at NU both average six to seven sessions, he said. Lifting the cap served not to implement long-term counseling, he said, but to remove students’ perceived obstacle of having only 12 sessions. “I don’t want a number to be a barrier,” Dunkle said. “I want students who are in their freshman year to feel equally as able to come in their junior or senior year.” University President Morton Schapiro told The Daily in an October interview that he supported the University lifting the cap, noting that it was something frequently brought up to him when he spoke at dorms and other campus venues. “I was glad to hear they decided to change it,” Schapiro said. For Medill sophomore Allyna Mota Melville, the CAPS session limit lift was “more of a psychological difference” than a substantive change to how counseling services operated. Mota Melville said she was referred out by CAPS this quarter after seeking counseling services. “(The therapist) really wanted to refer me out,” she said. “She told me that I should seek more long-term people because CAPS is kind of supposed to be a transitionary stage for people that need short-term or people that have just one certain event that has happened.” Mota Melville also serves as the assistant director of logistics for NU Listens, a studentrun mental health organization that works with and is funded by CAPS. Having been in conversation with the center’s staff on behalf of her student group, Mota Melville was able to understand the decision to refer her to an outside provider. She said she would prefer to receive free counseling on campus, but came to terms with CAPS’s intention to help her find resources that can last beyond her four years in college.
Mixed experiences
Once students find themselves face-to-face with a CAPS counselor, they report mixed experiences with how the center operates. CAPS’s atmosphere appeared too clinical and impersonal for Medill freshman Will Kang. After filling out his initial intake form and being matched with a therapist, Kang said he felt pushed to seek outside help. “(The therapist’s) demeanor was just really disconnected,” Kang said. Throughout his sessions, Kang said he had the impression that he was simply a “liability.” He said he originally had no choice but to return to CAPS after his initial meeting,

After surveying universities across the nation, Pennsylvania State University’s Center for Collegiate Mental Health published findings about different approaches to session limits. Forty-nine universities reported having a limit, while 85 reported they did not. The graph shows the distribution of colleges with various session limits, ranging from eight to 24.

nts still feel pushed to seek outside care as he was told his situation was so severe that University Police would be called if he did not show up to his next session. “It scared the s--- out of me,” he said. His following meetings only further encouraged him to seek off-campus help, as his therapist seemed intent on referring him out, he said. After three sessions, he chose to stop attending CAPS. Rosenblum, who believes CAPS saved his life, has a different perspective. “(CAPS) has changed everything,” he said. “I was in such a bad place, and I have since gotten so much better.” He said in an October interview that the therapist he was assigned to felt like a “perfect
While some, like Rosenblum, continue to report improvements in their mental health, others said they did not find the help they were looking for before ultimately being referred out after a few sessions. Dani Levy described her brief experience with CAPS, especially with her assigned therapist, as a positive and helpful one. But the Medill senior felt confused about how quickly she was referred out, with further care “not even seeming to be an option.” Levy first began seeking help on campus when she was struggling with depressive feelings and academic stress, she said. She visited CAPS during Spring Quarter, before the 12-session limit was eliminated this fall. Despite finding her counselor “really kind and calming,” Levy said she felt each session was focused solely on the goal of referring her out. “It was 100 percent a referral,” Levy said about her experience. “It was like, ‘You should be seeing someone on a more regular basis, and that’s not going to be me.’” Her counselor encouraged Levy to drop a class amid her academic stress and anxiety, she said. She did end up dropping the class, but her guidance from CAPS ended there.
Looking forward
match” and that he was confident CAPS would support him moving forward. After a total of seven counseling sessions, he later said the center followed through on his expectations of receiving additional therapy during his time as a student.
Weinberg sophomore David Jung was referred out after being told CAPS was too full, he said. He followed CAPS’s recommendations to find outside care, which he was told would be affordable. But Jung found the actual cost of one session far exceeded his budget, and ultimately elected not to pursue off-campus treatment. “(The therapist) really wanted to help, but it was just so full,” Jung said. “It was close to the end of the year so I couldn’t wait.” With more and more students seeking
services, CAPS is taking steps to increase the resources available on campus, Dunkle said. He said 20 people are currently on the CAPS waitlist. Following Jung’s visit in the spring, CAPS saw about a 20 percent increase in students
accessing its services this academic year, Dunkle said. This includes undergraduate and graduate students on both NU campuses. Schapiro said there is no financial limit to CAPS’s funding. “We’ve given CAPS everything they’ve ever asked for and will continue to do (so),” Schapiro said in an October interview with The Daily. After hearing that CAPS has made improvements, Jung said he would consider going back to the center. He said he saw his experience more as a problem with CAPS’s system, rather than its individual staff members. After two new staff hires — one psychologist for specialized outreach to black students and the Black House, and another for peer services such as NU Listens — CAPS now has 20 staffers, Dunkle said. He said with one additional counselor after
integration with the Women’s Center, there will be one staff member for every 845 students, which he said is a “really good staff-to-student ratio.” “Could we use more?” Dunkle said. “Of course we could. Every center will say that, even the most well-staffed center.” Group therapy — which does not have a session limit — is an effective long-term option for students, said Roldan, the CAPS task force member. She and other members also helped improve the online resources available on the CAPS website and developed the “personalized care plan” approach. For some students, that requires specialized care that CAPS cannot provide, Dunkle said. “If you went to the health service and you had an ACL tear, you wouldn’t expect to get your surgery there, correct?” he said. However, this rationale remains concerning for Miller considering the mental health climate on campus. She said she sees a disparity between how CAPS is marketed and how she personally experienced it. Miller said she has now found respite from her mental health struggles through a counseling service near her off-campus residence, which she feels satisfied with. But her encounters with CAPS, she said, made her question the true purpose of the center. Steven Arkin continues to work in mental health awareness with his wife after their son’s death, and speaks to the public and the medical community about the issue. He said Northwestern has much to catch up on in meeting the reality of mental health issues on its campus. “They consider their students transient,” Steven Arkin said of CAPS. “The problem with that theory is that they’re not transient.” yvonnekim2019@u.northwestern.edu

Undaunted by predecessors, Moten creates own niche
By BEN POPE
daily senior staffer @benpope111
John Burroughs School has been blessed with two dominant running backs in the past six years. One is Ezekiel Elliott, later a national champion at Ohio State and currently the NFL’s season rushing leader. The other is now-Northwestern redshirt freshman John Moten IV. “We both play running back, and we both love football,” Moten said with a laugh when asked Monday what he and Elliott had in common. But at the St. Louis high school, such comparisons were no joke: Elliott rushed for 3,957 yards and 74 touchdowns in the 2011 and 2012 seasons, then Moten ran for 4,272 yards and 63 touchdowns in the 2013 and 2014 seasons. The latter may never quite match the former’s success at the collegiate (or professional) level, but Moten has nonetheless capitalized on unexpectedly plentiful playing time this season to establish himself as the Wildcats’ next every-down workhorse once Justin Jackson graduates in 2018.
“
When he’s out there and he’s thinking, he’s not fast, and therefore it takes away the best part of his game. I’ve tried to really help him with the mental things. Justin Jackson, running back
“We thought John was a great fit from a great academic school,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said about recruiting Moten. “He followed Ezekiel Elliott, who I think has turned out to be pretty good, and everybody there felt that John was a player that had his best football ahead of him.” And he still does. Functioning as the Cats’ No. 2 runner ever since projected backup Warren Long, a senior, suffered an injury in the season opener, Moten has carried 39 times for 201 yards — an impressive 5.2 yards per carry average — but had a single-game high of just 26 yards until a week ago. Last Saturday in West Lafayette, Moten exploded for 119 yards on 16 carries as NU derailed Purdue 45-17. He fell just eight yards short of Jackson in rushing yards and, including a 20-yard reception, exceeded him in total yards. He earned
Big Ten Co-Freshman of the Week honors for his performance. The spike in playing time allowed Moten to showcase what Jackson and running backs coach Matt MacPherson have taught him in practice all year: to trust his instincts and ingrained playbook knowledge and commit all of his energy to using his natural skills. “When you know what you’re doing, you can play fast, and his best aspect is his speed,” Jackson said. “When he’s out there and he’s thinking, he’s not fast, and therefore it takes away the best part of his game. I’ve tried to really help him with the mental things, where he needs to go, his reads, so he can be out there not thinking and just playing.” Moten certainly has speed. At Burroughs, Moten was a state champion in track, running the 100-meter dash — longer than the length of a football field — in a Missouri-best 10.58 seconds. So when he arrived in Evanston, he knew how to run and carry a football but not as much about the rest of the running back position’s responsibilities. “A lot of things that I’ve been focusing on deal with pass protection and route running,” Moten said. “(Coach MacPherson is) definitely right when he says, ‘If you can do everything right, not just running the ball, that’s what makes the big difference.’” Fitzgerald said that Moten is now “starting to come on” in those regards, and he’s seeing more playing time as a result. Against Purdue, 13 of Moten’s 16 carries came after halftime, and he displayed his versatility using his speed to break two of them for more than 25 yards, shedding tackles or overpowering defenders to gain extra yards on several more and patiently waiting for blocking lanes to develop on others. He said the steady workload allowed him to develop a rhythm, and it showed. Another 119-yard eruption is unlikely this weekend: Minnesota’s run defense ranks 22nd in the nation, and Jackson remains the Cats’ undisputed No. 1 back. But in Moten, NU now has a reliable and explosive change-of-pace option to turn to when needed. And come 2018, when Jackson graduates and leaves a void in the depth chart, the Cats will have Moten waiting in the wings, ready to fill a great predecessor’s massive shoes once again. “John has taken advantage of that opportunity here as the season’s gone along, and I think not only has that been helpful for us … in the here-and-now, but it’s (also) going to help us in the long term,” Fitzgerald said. “He’s got a bright future ahead of him, no question.”

Notebook: Stories from Montre Hartage, Austin Carr By MAX GELMAN
daily senior staffer @maxgelman
With many injuries to the Wildcats’ secondary this season, Montre Hartage has been asked to fill in since Day One. After some early struggles, he finally appears to be coming into his own. The sophomore cornerback picked off Purdue quarterback David Blough twice last weekend, increasing his season total to four. It’s hard to imagine where Northwestern would
be without Hartage this season. But, as he explained during Monday’s news conference, he nearly wasn’t a Cat. “I was committed to Georgia Southern,” Hartage said. “But I was right out of church, I had just gotten home, and I think I was shooting basketball with my cousin and they had coach call me. I was like, ‘Hey I just got the call from coach Fitz. I think they’re about to offer me (a scholarship).’ … It was like a dream come true.” Hartage’s experience will come in handy for the 2017 season as NU looks for some stability in the secondary.

Austin Carr has exceeded any and all expectations for the 2016 season. The walk-on-turned-captain leads all receivers in the Big Ten in catches, yards and touchdowns, an astonishing feat given that he started the year with just 23 receptions to his name. Carr’s ascendence seemed to even surprise coach Pat Fitzgerald, who said his college career got off to a rocky start. “The first time I got to know Austin was when he was on my injury report because he cut his finger with a butter knife, and wanted an MRI because he was concerned he may have hurt a tendon which might’ve hurt his ability to play the piano,” Fitzgerald

said. “I’m like, ‘Who?’ Next, alright let’s go, get the MRI whatever you gotta do … We weren’t playing very well at receiver at the time so it was probably after a 78-drop practice where I was like, ‘Here we go again.’” It’s clear Carr has gained Fitzgerald’s attention now. The receiver has risen to national prominence and was named one of 10 semifinalists for the Biletnikoff Award, handed out annually to the nation’s top receiver. Seeing how Carr is just 144 yards away from setting a new single-season program record, he’s sure to have a pretty good case. maxgelman2018@u.northwestern.edu

Don’t look now, but Clayton Thorson is having as good a season as any quarterback in Northwestern history. The sophomore is just two touchdown passes away from tying the single-season program record. He’s a little more than 1,000 yards away from the single-season passing yards record set by C.J. Bacher in 2007, and will approach that number if he doesn’t pass it. Thorson is a budding superstar. In fact, he’s well on his way to becoming the best pure passer ever to call Ryan Field home. And yet, I have to ask: Where’s the hype? As the mobile, strong-armed Thorson leads an offensive renaissance at NU, the response from fans here and around the Big Ten has largely been a collective yawn. There’s been plenty of praise heaped on sensational wide receiver Austin Carr, and rightly so. Linebacker Anthony Walker and running back Justin Jackson have remained fan favorites as juniors. But ask many casual fans about Thorson, and I’d doubt you’d get much more than a shrug. This is after Thorson completed nearly 80 percent of his passes as the Cats hung half-a-hundred on Michigan State. After he tossed for 285 yards and three touchdowns against a strong Indiana defense on homecoming weekend. After he looked every bit J.T. Barrett’s equal at Ohio State. Even after this past weekend, when he overcame a rocky start to finish with a career-high 352 passing yards at Purdue. Thorson has blazed his way past Big Ten defense after Big Ten defense with little fanfare. Former NU quarterback Trevor Siemian has captured the imagination of NU fans by emerging as the starting quarterback of the defending Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos. But Thorson is already better than Siemian ever was in Evanston. Siemian had his best year at NU in 2013, tossing 11 touchdown passes against nine interceptions and finishing with 2,149 passing yards. With at least two games still to play, Thorson has eight more touchdown passes, one fewer pick, and 400 more passing yards than Siemian did that year. As for other stellar seasons put together by Wildcats quarterbacks, there was Bacher’s in 2007, but he got picked off 19 times that year. In 2005, Brett Basanez put together the best season in program history statistically, tossing 21 touchdown passes and throwing for more than 3,600 yards. But if the 2005 team was the gold standard in terms of Wildcat passing attacks, the 2016 team at least equals that standard. Thorson is set to eclipse Basanez’s touchdown total and isn’t far off his yardage pace. NU would not be 5-5 this year without Thorson stepping up. Carr is not having the Big Ten-best season without Thorson. And NU’s newfound pass-heavy identity is not possible without the excellent play of Thorson. Behind an inconsistent offensive line, Thorson has still managed to thrive. As a freshman, he won 10 games. As a sophomore, he’s putting together a statistical season to remember. And he has two more years to go. It should be a fun couple of years, and it’s about time we give Thorson his due. Tim Balk is a Medill junior.

This essay is part of The Spectrum, a weekly forum in our Opinion section for marginalized voices to share their perspectives. To submit a piece for The Spectrum or discuss story ideas, please email spectrum@dailynorthwestern.com. The professor for my public speaking class had just told us to improvise a story with two conditions: it had to be decently humorous and autobiographical. I should’ve been overjoyed; I had written fiction in high school and before. Instead, I panicked – my mind was blank. What stories I did recall were either neutral or pessimistic or those of friends. How had I gotten to this point? Heading into Northwestern, I saw a brave new world. I’d most likely stumble a bit at first, but would thrive at the end of the day just as in high school. Three years later, I’m unable to recall what that confidence felt like. In quick succession I joined and lost several groups of friends, feeling worse with each disruption. Though I enjoy my field of study here, at times it feels forced, and most times I feel incompetent. Uncomfortable trends have arisen, including frequent nightmares of abandonment. Still,

Open letter in support of NU becoming sanctuary campus
We, the undersigned faculty, staff, alumni and students of Northwestern University write in the wake of Donald Trump’s election as president of the United States to declare our commitment to the safety and dignity of all students and workers in our community. We petition the university to declare Northwestern a sanctuary for undocumented students, workers and their families. Mr. Trump has declared his intention upon taking office to immediately begin deportation proceedings against millions of undocumented immigrants in the United States and to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) that provides relief for deportation for hundreds of thousands of young people in the United States, including many Northwestern students.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Northwestern should end its use of “E-Verify” worker ID program As my students and colleagues reel from last week’s election results and look to Northwestern University to become a sanctuary, we might pause to consider that right now NU gratuitously participates in a national worker ID program called “E-Verify.” While NU makes a great show of accepting undocumented U.S. residents, many pay large sums for tuition; meanwhile, the administration is
college has helped me in one manner: I’m a four-hour flight from home, and it’s allowed me to reflect on how I got to this point. Only after leaving home did I understand just how much my upbringing defined me and how little my conscious choices have been my own. Our parents have an outsized influence on our lives. They influence the religion we practice, the political ideology we hold and, of course, our ethnicity and financial situation. And, sometimes, their past shadows us. Since I can remember, my mother has told the story of her brothers. However “egalitarian” Mao Zedong’s China was, my mother’s parents placed preferential treatment on her two brothers, as was tradition. The household chores, academic expectations and smallest food portions would go to her and her sister. Much later, one brother was dead of stomach cancer at a young age, and the other has a destructive gambling addiction and a broken family of his own. My mother links her brothers’ fates to their pampered upbringing. So she projected her past onto me. She blocked my attempts to go outside or play games with friends. Moderate purchases — clothes not on sale or fiction books — became leverage for good grades and better behavior. When I became a rebellious teenager, she took every opportunity to remind me of my broken commitments: I was an ungrateful son, I must not have any friends with that attitude, my grades would get me nowhere, I should model myself after a family friend’s child, I did not deserve to live under her roof. Tutoring school and test preparation
became the only activities free of criticism and “productive toward my success.” I became what my mother’s brothers should have been. In turn, I grew up with an overwhelming sense of shame and an inability to develop interests. When I transferred schools in sixth grade, I failed to fit in. I tried but couldn’t relate to peers. In subsequent years, friends and classmates avoided being in my project groups, and my academics became tied to my troubles with relationships. My mother’s influence spared nothing. Isolated and criticized, I turned inward and internalized guilt. My fear of isolation controls my life. The closer I get to friends, the more I fear losing them. When my first friends at NU began disregarding messages and plans, I bottled up my stress until I ended up bedridden for a week. I silence my thoughts, scared they can be used against me and I stomach blame, even if excessive, to preserve my relationships. When someone I trusted discussed with a recent group of friends how I did not deserve a relationship based on my faults, I believed it. I have to exaggerate what common interests I do have, like my field of study. And with each lost friend, I have no choice but to counteract a growing distrust of people with a growing fear of isolation, starting the cycle anew. I watch my friends bear the pasts of their parents. One suffers from occasional breakdowns, as his parents keep wondering what they did wrong concerning his sexual orientation. Another marches toward ambition and orderly working life to patch memories of a parent’s divorce that unraveled family life.
Yet another is driven by the hope of financial independence, seeking to cut off his father. Their childhoods persist with them. I also hear of those who admire their parents. One dreams of deeper immersion in her culture and serving at her synagogue, as her mother does. Another teaches to “serve others” just as his parents, both doctors, did. Their childhoods, too, persist with them. I don’t know if I can, or should, ever break out of the shadow of my mother. Even if I do, her past so deeply defines me that I wonder what would be left. I’m unsure if I should despise or sympathize with her or how to explain my discomfort of going home during breaks to well-meaning colleagues. For all that’s happened, relationships have also kept me going. At the beginning of this quarter, I saw many familiar faces in class, at work and at the activities fair. And, they surprised me: hugs, reminiscences about old times, exasperation that three years had gone by, encyclopedic fill-ins about the summer and smiles. They were glad to see me, and I them. At that moment I felt like a human being, like I belonged at NU. They reminded me that I can still cherish the relationships I have, that negotiating the shadows of parents does not have to be a solitary journey.
policies are enacted, they will prove disastrous, subjecting students and workers who are integral to our community to punitive measures, and countering Northwestern’s stated commitment to “the personal and intellectual growth of its students in a diverse academic community.” We are dismayed at the wave of hatred that has swept across the nation since the election, including threats of deportation against Latina/o youth, bullying of Muslim and LGBT youth, incendiary graffiti and vandalism, and hateful comments directed at students of color on our own campus. In light of very real and immediate threats faced by members of our community, as well as the environment of fear that the election has created, we ask the university to take the following steps: – Issue a public statement reaffirming the university’s commitment to support and protect all of its students and workers, regardless of their citizenship status, religion, ethnicity, or national origin; – Reaffirm current admission and financial aid policies regarding undocumented students; – Guarantee student privacy by refusing to release information regarding citizenship status;
– Take steps to protect the visa status and funding of international students; – Refuse to comply with federal authorities regarding deportations or immigration raids; – Reaffirm the university’s commitment to create a campus atmosphere of respect by denouncing the hate speech directed at immigrant, minority, and LGBTQ students and workers, and by informing the campus of existing resources for reporting and responding to bias or hate incidents; – Repair a weakness in current university structure by creating an administrative mechanism for reporting hate and bias incidents to appropriate state and federal agencies. Only a few months ago, President Schapiro co-authored an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times defending the principle of safe spaces on university campuses. And months earlier he declared Northwestern’s commitment to offering undocumented students the same support offered to its citizen students. Northwestern now has an opportunity to put those words into action by creating a legal sanctuary for its students. Doing so would not only show Northwestern’s commitment to our own campus,
but also our solidarity with local communities, as Evanston and Chicago have both affirmed their status as sanctuary cities. While we believe that people of good will can hold diverging political beliefs, we also believe that the safety of students and workers is absolutely essential to create the climate of free inquiry that the university should foster. This is not a time to wait and see how federal policies develop. To the contrary, it is a time to unflinchingly affirm our core values and to work proactively to safeguard the wellbeing of our community with every resource at our disposal. We ask that the university act now to fulfill its mission of “sustaining a safe and healthy Northwestern community.”
obstructing them from holding any paid positions on campus, including as assistants for the Deportation Research Clinic. NU’s policy is an outlier. The University of Chicago and other universities in the region and the country do not require their students and other workers to go through the E-Verify unless they are paid through specific contracts that require this. Indeed, only 7 percent of firms nationwide use E-verify. State legislatures, including Illinois in 2007, have voted to prohibit its use altogether until the federal government made specific improvements to the accuracy of the databases in an effort to decrease work authorization denials to those who are actually eligible to work in the U.S. (A federal court later ruled the Illinois law invalid.)
Why is NU doing this? When I was first hired and asked about NU’s participation in the program, which was just being rolled out in 2010, administrators told me it came from the top levels of the University. In other words, shut up and stop asking questions. Now that I know these top levels include current and past officers and directors of the military contractor General Dynamics (GD) — indeed, the Chair of NU’s Board, William Osborn, is a GD director — it makes sense. GD not only manages US Citizenship and Immigration Services technology operations for E-Verify and other databases, GD literally prints the Employment Authorization cards. Establishing E-Verify across the NU campus promotes a GD product line and the firm’s larger project of acclimating us to the national security
state, even though the program is at odds with the values and well-being of the broader NU community and should be stopped immediately. Not only does E-Verify harm those who are undocumented, but also its high error rate exposes everyone to needless harm. Morty, if you want to make NU safe for everyone, please immediately tell the DHS that NU is ending its participation in E-Verify.

that’s what they feel,” Klein said. “Obviously, there are many Jews who are willing to come forward to say, ‘Hey, I don’t feel comfortably Jewish here.’ And that’s something as a Jewish leader (that) concerns me.” Klein said although NU is a safe place for people to be Jewish, the University should do more to address Jewish students’ concerns. He added that he was disappointed the University did not issue a statement after the study was published. University President Morton Schapiro said he didn’t feel a need to issue a statement because there was no validity to the report. “Every day, somebody accuses us of
something,” Schapiro said. “Somebody puts us on a list, somebody does this or that. You do the best job you can, and you move forward, and you don’t want to constantly react to unscientific analyses or what they criticize us for.” Hillel student executive president Tamar Eisen agreed that the University didn’t have to make a statement because she said the study lacked credibility. The SESP senior also agreed with Simon that there is a difference between Jewish students feeling uncomfortable talking about their views on Israel and Palestine, and feeling unsafe because they support Israel. Eisen said the Israel-Palestine conflict is a “contentious issue” on campus. Eisen said the close relationship between Fossil Free NU, Unshackle NU, NU Divest
and Students for Justice in Palestine can make getting involved in social justice advocacy at Northwestern “challenging” for some Jewish students who support Israel, but it doesn’t always prevent them from getting involved. She also said she was shocked when she saw the study and said it did not accurately reflect her or any of her friends’ experiences, and the report gives a “false perception” of Jewish campus life. “The fact that it’s called a hotspot — it really just paints a picture that we are (an) environment just rife with hate and fear,” Eisen said. “That’s just not how Jewish students live on this campus. That’s just not their daily experience.”

Elderly Evanston woman crashes car after driving off Sheridan Road
A 93-year-old Evanston woman was taken to the hospital today after getting into a car accident on Sheridan Road just before noon but sustained no life-threatening injuries. The woman was driving northbound on Sheridan Road. As she approached the curve in the road near Sheridan Place, she hit a guardrail, Evanston Police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said. The car spun and hit a tree before coming to rest facing east in a residence’s lawn. The woman was taken to Evanston Hospital. Dugan said the woman could not recall what happened during the accident. Officers issued the woman three tickets for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, failure to produce proof of insurance and damage to city property. — Nora Shelly

teams.” Radogno said the legislative leaders — not working groups — needed to make the final decisions. In a news conference on Wednesday, Rauner said he pushed five key reforms in the meeting. One initiative Rauner said he brought up at the meeting was workers compensation reform. Rauner and the Republicans introduced a reform bill last year. The state’s current system was “not fair,” he said. “Workers comp was never designed to treat health issues outside of work. In Illinois we’ve tried to force those in, or let them come in,” he said. “It’s driven up our cost, its increased fraud and abuse, and it’s pushed employers out of the state.” Rauner said he also brought up term limit reforms during the meeting. Term limits would help restore trust in the state government, Rauner said. Additionally, Rauner said he believes the increase of lameduck legislators due to term limits during the yearly veto sessions would enable more “tough votes.”

“We’ve got a reputation for bad government in Illinois,” he said. “They are there to be a public servant for eight or 10 years, then leave.” Although Rauner is also looking to push property tax relief, unfunded mandates, education funding and pension reform, he said he doesn’t need everything on the list in order to get a budget passed. Although there was “reluctance” to changes at the meeting, Rauner said they had a “good discussion.” “Progress is slow, but we’re going to be persistent,” he said. Madigan urged lawmakers to follow framework used in the past rather than spending time on the initiatives and reforms Rauner is pushing. “If we all work together, recognize each other’s interests and abilities, we’ll come to a successful agreement,” he said.

Alumna one of highest-ranking women in Navy
After decorated career in Navy, Rear Adm. Lisa Franchetti works high-level job with the Pentagon By MADELEINE FERNANDO
the daily northwestern @madeleinemelody
Lisa Franchetti came to Northwestern as a journalism major with plans to become a reporter in the Middle East. Her career has taken her to nearly 50 countries, not as a journalist, but as a rear admiral in the Navy. Franchetti (Medill ’85) joined the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps program at NU almost by chance during Fall Quarter of her freshman year. “I actually was walking past Tech during freshman orientation week, and I saw a bunch of midshipmen playing football and having a cookout,” she said. “I went over to say hello and they told me all about the ROTC program. … The next thing I knew I was hooked.” Over the course of her career, Franchetti would go on to become one of few high-ranking women in the U.S. Armed Forces. She now works at the Pentagon as the chief of staff, J5, of the Joint Staff, coming up with recommendations on strategy plans and policy.
“
I went over to say hello and they told me all about the ROTC program. … The next thing I knew I was hooked. Lisa Franchetti, chief of staff, J5, of the Joint Staff
The Alumnae of Northwestern University recognized Franchetti’s achievements with the Alumnae Award at a ceremony held in October. About 150 people attended the event, including members of the organization and current ROTC midshipmen, said Michele Bresler, president of The Alumnae. The University’s ROTC program prepares college students to become officers in the U.S. Armed Forces. As a member of the Naval ROTC, Franchetti took naval science classes in addition to her journalism courses and met with her unit weekly. She said the unit served as a place to develop leadership skills and foster camaraderie among fellow junior officers. While balancing her academic and ROTC
responsibilities, Franchetti still found time to join extracurriculars, such as the club crew team. Her position as a coxswain –– the person who steers and leads rowers –– helped her further develop leadership and team-building skills, she said. Before long races, Franchetti said she would write notes of motivation meant to inspire her teammates. Although she didn’t end up becoming a journalist, the rear admiral said Medill made her a curious person. “Having a sense of curiosity, being able to ask questions and then ask a follow-up question and continue to dig deeper … really prepared me well to go into the Navy and lead people and represent our country all over the world,” Franchetti said. Immediately following graduation, Franchetti began her career in the Navy as the training/ special programs officer at the Naval Reserve Readiness Command Region 13. However, Franchetti did not want to work behind a desk, but command on a ship in the ocean. She entered a training program, and, at 23 years old, she was put in charge of leading a group of sailors in the engineering division of the U.S.S. Shenandoah. After serving in various leadership roles on multiple ships, Franchetti was selected to become an admiral in 2013 — one of fewer than 40 female admirals in the U.S. Navy. For her first assignment, she was selected to become the commander of U.S. Naval Forces in Korea. “Moving and packing up and unpacking all of your stuff is not that joyful,” said Franchetti, who relocated with her husband and daughter to the U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan base in Seoul. “But what is joyful is the opportunity to live in all these different places and meet all these different people.” After her time in Korea, Franchetti served as a commander of Carrier Strike Group Nine in San Diego, Calif., becoming the second woman ever to be in charge of a carrier strike group, a fleet of ships whose main function is to provide support for an aircraft carrier. Last month, she returned to her roots at NU and accepted the Alumnae Award. The annual award is given to an alumna who has made significant contributions to her field and achieved national prominence, said Mary Schuette, cochair of The Alumnae Award. “You can’t get anyone on the rise faster than she is,” Schuette said. “She is so outstanding. … she’s young, and she’s just still doing it all.” Although Franchetti did not expect to end up

in the military, she said it ended up being a great career path to follow. Speaking from personal experience, she urged students to keep an open mind when considering their futures. “If you work hard and do your best, it will all work out in the end,” Franchetti said. “Figure
out what success means to you because really only you can define that for you and then have that dream of what you want to do and figure out how to get yourself there.” madeleinefernando2020@u.northwestern.edu

Former U.S. treasurer talks Trump’s influence
Reagan cabinet member says president-elect policies strong By CATHERINE KIM
the daily northwestern @ck_525
Former U.S. Treasurer Angela “Bay” Buchanan expressed support for President-elect Donald Trump’s “bold” rhetoric and discussed its social implications during a talk Thursday night. “Trump has broken the backbone of political correctness,” she said. “It has changed everything. We have returned to being Americans who speak exactly what we believe.” Buchanan addressed an audience of about 30 people in a lecture room in the Technological Institute during NU College Republicans’ fall speaker event. Having served as former President Ronald Reagan’s treasurer, Buchanan spoke about how Reagan and Trump compare as politicians. Buchanan said Trump mirrors Reagan’s ability to uplift people who previously felt left out and forgotten. “(Trump) ignites this energy out there for people to say, ‘Hey, maybe somebody will help me; maybe somebody will be there to address my concerns,’” she said. However, Buchanan did acknowledge the differences between Reagan and Trump’s personalities. She said although Reagan followed the “11th commandment,” his belief in not speaking evil of other Republicans, Trump has no problem speaking against other politicians in his party. Buchanan said people have been too concerned and cautious of their words in fear of being called names, and that it is important to stand up for what one believes. Weinberg freshman Marco Laudati, who attended the event, said he agreed with the message that healthy debate is crucial in developing political opinions. But Brian Nebolsky, another Weinberg
freshman in attendance, said Buchanan’s comments did not encourage open debate. “It seemed like they were really trying to espouse the idea of creating open debates, but … anytime she’d give an example it would be like, ‘Trump said Rand Paul’s dumb,’ and that was his idea of an open debate, which feels more like an ad hominem attack,” he said. Buchanan also talked about Trump’s economic policies. Trump plans to make cuts that will be “bold” and “dramatic” she said, comparing them to Reagan’s. These cuts have to be done quickly, she said, so that his presidency gains momentum.
”
My dad was a huge Reagan fan, and he always told me that Reagan was pretty diametrically opposed to Trump’s plan. Brian Nebolsky, Weinberg freshman
Nebolsky said he was “surprised” by the comparison Buchanan drew between Trump and Reagan. “My dad was a huge Reagan fan, and he always told me that Reagan was pretty diametrically opposed to Trump’s plan,” said Nebolsky, who is a Democrat. “From my personal research into the tax plans it seemed like they wouldn’t really be together.” College Republicans president Weinberg junior Jack Stucky said he hopes that Buchanan’s talk will have eased the uncertainty about how Trump’s presidency will look like. “A lot of people view this election as the end of their worlds right now, but I hope people are able to hear Buchanan speak and realize there might be some good things that can come out of the next four years,” Stucky said. catherinekim2020@u.northwestern.edu

ROUND TWO
Wildcats ready for second-round NCAA Tournament match By ROBBIE MARKUS
the daily northwestern
After advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for its secondstraight season, No. 21 Northwestern will seek to take a step further this year against the team that pulled off the biggest upset of the tournament so far. The Wildcats (15-2-4, 7-1-3 Big Ten) will continue their tournament run after dominating Kent State 3-0 at Martin Stadium last Saturday. However, SIU-Edwardsville (10-7-5) comes into the Friday matchup in Durham, North Carolina hot off a victory over then-No. 6 Notre Dame in a penalty-kick shootout in the first round. Despite its opponents’ momentum, junior midfielder Kassidy Gorman was confident NU would be able to create chances against the Cougars. “Notre Dame had a lot of good chances against (SIUE),” Gorman said. “We’re focusing on capitalizing on those chances that we get.” The Cats are the more battle-tested of the teams, after

competing in a Big Ten conference that sent eight teams to the NCAAs. Meanwhile, the Cougars notched middling results in the Ohio Valley Conference and were the only team from the conference to make the tournament. SIUE has been solid offensively to date, scoring a goal and a half per game. But the Cougars are coming off a firstround scoreless draw against the Fighting Irish and may have limited room to work against an NU defense that allows less than five shots on goal per game. Though the Cats have largely struggled to capitalize on scoring chances this season, their showing in the first round was a good sign. NU’s three goals in the contest marked the first time the team has scored more than one goal in a game since Oct. 9. Because the Cats have had numerous injuries along the front line, they have been forced to find new ways to score. Recently, they’ve found success off corner kicks, as two of NU’s last four goals have been scored by sophomore defender Kayla Sharples off corners. Sharples said the team’s tenacity serves it well on set pieces.
VOLLEYBALL
“We just don’t want the ball to hit the ground,” Sharples said. “That desire to win, to get the ball into the back of the net, to be that person, is a huge thing.” Along with her much-needed offensive spark, Sharples’ primary contributions have come as a key cog in a defense that has recorded 16 shutouts in 21 games this year. The Cats have been nearly impossible to break down this year, allowing just .27 goals per 90 minutes, best in the country. Recently, NU has allowed one goal in its last seven games, and its defense and junior goalkeeper Lauren Clem will need to continue to thrive for the Cats to continue their success in the NCAAs. With a win against SIUE, NU would face the winner of a matchup between No. 14 Duke, owner of strong wins over No. 8 Minnesota and No. 15 Virginia, and Illinois State. If the Cats continue to advance, the difficulty and pressure to win will only increase for a team that has never made it past the round of 16. Coach Michael Moynihan said his team is focused on meeting the upcoming challenges as it looks to make school history. “At this stage, anything can happen,” Moynihan said. “There are 32 teams left. Every one of them is good.” robinsonmarkus2019@u.northwestern.edu
WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
NU set for final home matches Cats look for resumeBy JONAH DYLAN
the daily northwestern @thejonahdylan
It’s been a rough season for Northwestern. But a win Saturday on Senior Night could, at least temporarily, provide a positive moment in a year that’s lacked them. The Wildcats (8-20, 1-15 Big Ten) will host No. 24 Ohio State (17-11, 7-9) on Friday night and Maryland (11-17, 3-13) on Saturday night in the team’s last home games of the season and the last volleyball matches at Welsh-Ryan Arena before next year’s renovation. NU is coming off a particularly rough loss to No. 3 Wisconsin last Saturday. The Cats won the first two sets but weren’t able to hold off the Badgers’ comeback effort, eventually falling in five sets. However, coach Shane Davis said his team has moved on. “Saturday was tough,” he said. “I feel like we’re turning the corner with the group and with the program, but it’s also frustrating at the same time because you’re one or two plays from winning that match against Wisconsin.” Despite the loss, NU enjoyed some standout performances against the Badgers. Junior setter Taylor Tashima had a career-high 61 assists; freshman libero Sarah Johnson had a career-high 29 digs; and junior outside hitter Symone Abbott had a career-high 26 kills on a career-high 72 attempts. Davis was particularly impressed with Abbott’s play. “(She) is really becoming the complete player that she desires to be, and we think she will be going forward,” he said. Saturday night will mark the final home game for the Cats’ seniors, including three starters in middle blocker Maddie Slater, outside hitter Sofia Lavin and outside hitter Kayla Morin. Despite what’s been a disappointing season, Slater said she’s excited for her

Maryland vs. Northwestern Evanston, Illinois 7 p.m. Saturday
final game at home. “I’ve seen everyone else before me have their senior night,” she said. “It’s always been something I’ve looked forward to.” But first, the Cats will have to face the Buckeyes, who present a unique challenge. Ohio State middle blocker Taylor Sandbothe is sixth in the Big Ten with 3.91 kills per set, just behind Abbott, who ranks fifth with 3.99 kills per set. Both Davis and Slater mentioned the challenge stopping Sandbothe will bring. “She gets a ton of their attempts,
which is unusual for a Big Ten team,” Slater said. “Usually they’re very outside-heavy and this team is very middleheavy. We’ve got to focus on defending the middle well.” Saturday’s game plan will be different, as NU will have to find a way to stop Maryland freshman outside hitter Gia Milana, who ranks fourth in the Big Ten with 4.02 kills per set. However, the Cats’ back row could have an easy day, as the Terrapins rank 12th out of 14 teams in the conference in kills with just 11.97 kills per set. Even if NU manages to top Maryland, Lavin said playing her final game at Welsh-Ryan will be a bittersweet moment. “It’s a chapter of my life that’s really important to me, it’s been my entire life,” she said. “But all good things have to come to an end, and I’m just hoping we all go out on a good note.” jonahdylan2020@u.northwestern.edu

boosting win on road By COLE PAXTON
daily senior staffer @ckpaxton
Saturday is 114 days from Selection Monday, when the NCAA Tournament bracket will be released, but what Northwestern does this weekend could have big implications in March. After taking down three unheralded foes to begin the season, the Wildcats (3-0) will make the short trip to No. 20 DePaul (2-0) in search of a standout win that could shine brightly on NU’s resume during tournament deliberations. “It adds validity to our schedule, just being able to compete with some of the best players in the nation,” senior guard Ashley Deary said. “We’re excited for the challenge. It will show us just how great we can be.” Just two of the Cats’ 13 non-conference games are against ranked teams, making Saturday’s contest a rare opportunity for NU to make a statement before Big Ten play begins in late December. To spring an upset, the Cats will likely need to be at full strength. Still unclear, however, is the status of star forward Nia Coffey, who missed Wednesday’s win over Missouri State and is officially day-to-day with an upper-body injury. Coach Joe McKeown did not have an update on Coffey’s condition before practice Thursday afternoon, but confirmed that the injury was not serious. “She’s doing great,” McKeown said. “(It’s) short term.” Whether Coffey plays or not, the game could be the latest chapter in a string of competitive matchups between NU and the Blue Demons. The Cats upset DePaul with a late rally in 2013, then escaped with a double-overtime

road win a year later. Last year, the Blue Demons halted NU’s 10-0 start with a 77-64 win in Evanston. A fourth quarter run allowed DePaul to build a deceptive final margin in what McKeown said this week was a “really good game.” “It’s become a really good rivalry,” McKeown said. “It wasn’t like that before I got here because we’d never beaten them. (They’re) fun games too, a lot of respect among both programs.” The Blue Demons will offer a solid step up in competition for the Cats. DePaul returns three starters from last season’s Sweet 16 team, was picked as Big East co-favorite, and has the conference’s preseason player of the year in guard Jessica January. McKeown said he expects to see fullcourt pressure from the Blue Demons. The coach added that DePaul moves the ball extremely well and presents a difficult defensive challenge that will test the Cats’ discipline. “They definitely like to speed the game up and pressure us,” Deary said. “The biggest thing is being disciplined on defense … and taking smart shots.” With a win Saturday, the Cats could raise some eyebrows nationally and earn a handful of votes in next week’s polls. Despite those possibilities, McKeown said his primary focus was on his own team and the nature of the rivalry. “It’s a fun game because it’s a city rivalry, two teams the last couple of years (that) have had great success,” McKeown said. “That’s what’s fun about it to me.” colepaxton2019@u.northwestern.edu
