NU’s LGBT athletes struggle to find their voices amid lacking support system

By TYLER PAGER

daily senior staffer @tylerpager

Tara Gordon did not want to be just another stereotype.

For Gordon, a Northwestern field hockey player, coming out as lesbian would validate the stereotype that female athletes tend to identify as LGBT. “I felt like people would just look at me as a stereotype instead of a human being or as an athlete anymore,” she said. “That was my fear.”

For John Andrade, coming out meant breaking stereotypes. When Andrade, a member of NU’s diving team, imagines a male athlete, he pictures someone strong, with broad shoulders and a deep voice. Someone who is straight. Andrade is gay.

Despite the difference in stereotypes plaguing male and female athletes, activists and athletes said the existence of these stereotypes has led to an absence of conversation around sexuality in athletics. At NU, it is no different.

“It’s very hush-hush,” Gordon said. “It’s kind of just this understood secrecy that if you know another athlete

who is (LGBT), you don’t really talk about it out of respect for them because it’s their business. I feel like athletes have this assumption that there is more pressure on them to be straight and to fit this mold, and I don’t think any of us, including myself, really want to confirm these stereotypes that already exist.”

NU’s athletic department does not require any training or education on LGBT issues for its athletes or coaches. Although LGBT student-athletes at NU who spoke with The Daily said they have never been discriminated against, they said a culture of silence persists around discussing issues of sexuality.

Kept within ‘the family’ Most LGBT athletes interviewed for this story said their experiences on their individual teams have been positive, with supportive teammates and coaches. However, athletes said their experiences outside their teams are a different story.

A former fencer who identifies as bisexual described each team as an individual unit, each with its own distinct dynamic.

“Each team is a family, and while we are all under the label of Northwestern athletics, those families don’t

CAPS services see increase

By CHRISTINE FAROLAN

daily senior staffer @crfarolan

The number of students using Counseling and Psychological Services has increased by about 22 percent compared to Fall Quarter last year.

About 1,250 students have used CAPS services so far this year, executive director John Dunkle said.

Dunkle is part of a team currently

working on a campus-wide survey looking at how CAPS is addressing mental health and suicide prevention as part of the Jed and Clinton Health Matters Campus Program. The program, which Northwestern signed onto in October, aims to prevent suicide and fatal drug overdose on college campuses nationwide.

“Once we complete (the survey), it will give us guidance on where we’re doing well and where we need to think about doing more,” Dunkle said.

Serving the University and Evanston since 1881

CAPS is also expanding its existing Let’s Talk initiative, which allows students to come in for informal conversation and advice regarding any concern, be it social, academic or otherwise. There are currently three separate drop-in times when students can go to locations such as the International Office or the Multicultural Student Affairs office for this service, but new weekly times will be added, including one hosted by » See CAPS, page 15

necessarily interact with one another the same way,” said the fencer, who asked for anonymity. “They feel like they need to keep their families’ personal lives under one roof or within itself.”

The fencer, who was one of three team captains, did not tell her team about her sexual orientation or her relationship with another woman. She said she struggled to keep so much of her personal life private and always felt she had a lot to hide. She left the team after two years to pursue other interests.

“Because sophomore year I was in a leadership position, I didn’t want to appear weak in any way,” she said. “I didn’t want to appear unsure of myself in any sense. I just wanted to be a very good role model for my teammates.”

Weinberg senior Kayleen McMonigal, who ran cross country during her freshman and sophomore years, said she was nervous to tell her teammates she was queer because she spent the majority of her time with them.

“I knew that if they reacted badly, it would be really, really bad,” she said.

However, McMonigal said the team was supportive » See IN FOCUS, page 4

Ludlow will not teach in winter

Philosophy Prof. Peter Ludlow is not teaching for the third consecutive quarter this winter.

On CAESAR, Ludlow is scheduled to teach an independent study and two senior tutorials in the philosophy department, but University spokesman Al Cubbage said Thursday that Ludlow will not teach any classes next quarter.

He stopped teaching in March following student protests that took place after a Medill senior filed a Title IX lawsuit against the University, accusing

Ludlow of sexually assaulting her in February 2012.

Ludlow last taught two 300-level classes in Winter Quarter 2014. In March, Northwestern canceled a 200level class that Ludlow was scheduled to teach in the spring. He is also not teaching this quarter.

The news comes more than a week after Ludlow filed a defamation lawsuit against the Medill senior, saying she cost him employment opportunities at NU and prospective employment at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey when she falsely accused him of sexual assault.

Chabad seeks help to replace menorah

By PAIGE LESKIN

daily senior staffer @paigeleskin

Two weeks after the menorah in front of the Tannenbaum Chabad House was vandalized, its rabbi is looking to the Northwestern network and the local community to fund a replacement for the Jewish symbol.

The harm that the menorah sustained in the early morning of Oct. 25 has left it destroyed and beyond repair, Chabad House Rabbi Dov Hillel Klein said.

The incident, which was the third time in the past six months that the menorah has been damaged, shows the need for increased sensitivity of the community toward religion, he said.

“It wasn’t a Halloween decoration that was pushed over,” Klein said. “Maybe perhaps we as a campus need to be having conversation about religious diversity, the meaning of religious symbols … I’m not sure if those conversations are really happening.”

Klein said the incident occurred between the time he left Shabbat services at the Chabad House, 2014 Orrington Ave., early Oct. 25 at about 12:30 a.m., and when he returned later that morning to the house. After Shabbat had ended Saturday night, he said he was able to review the video footage of the vandalism.

Police Blotter Construction site burglarized A business under construction was burglarized earlier this week, police said.

Sometime between 4 p.m. on Tuesday and 6 a.m. on Wednesday, a container of electrical wires and two radiators were stolen from the 200 block of Hartrey Avenue, Evanston police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said.

Unknown people cut the lock to the fence on the rear side of the property and drove up to the site, Parrott said. The electrical wires had been removed as part of an ongoing renovation at the business,

The rabbi said the video showed a student knock over the menorah. The student did not look intoxicated, but instead “maliciously” intended to damage the menorah, Klein said.

Evanston police Cmdr. Jay Parrott compared the incident with a similar occurrence in May and said it was probably someone intoxicated who made a poor decision to knock over the menorah.

In the incident in May, police released a video that showed a man tipping over the menorah.

Parrott said he has not seen any video of the most recent incident. Police do not believe that the incident was a hate crime, Parrott said.

In response to the damage to the menorah, an alumnus pledged to pay for half of the new menorah if the Chabad House could raise the other 50 percent, Klein said. The menorah would cost around $1,200 in total, half of which Klein hopes to raise through donations from NU students, their parents and other alumni, he said.

Klein said he plans to hold a dedication ceremony once the new menorah comes in, similar to what the Chabad House did in 2010 when the menorah was vandalized four years ago. He hopes to invite student groups that represent various minorities and faiths to form unity across religious lines, Klein said.

“A solidarity of all of us coming together to make a strong statement that we will not tolerate religious intolerance on our campus, no matter who

it’s being perpetrated to, I think that will be a very strong positive message to the campus community,” Klein said.

At the Associated Student Government’s weekly meeting Wednesday, Senate passed legislation that condemned the recent vandalism that had happened at Chabad House and voiced the organization’s commitment to fighting religious intolerance.

Adam Stewart, president of Chabad House’s student executive board, called the resolution a “step in the right direction.” “(The vandalism) really shows that there’s a lot of work to do in terms of more acceptance both in the University community and in the world at large,” the Weinberg senior said.

The backing of the students is only the first course of action, Klein said. He said he hoped the NU administration would follow suit in condemning the damage to the menorah.

Klein asked that the students who caused the damage not be “cowards” and come forward.

“There’s no question that things have been stirring over the last few months in Israel and in the Middle East,” Klein said. “But I don’t know that the conversations are really taking place in a very strong way today. And I think those conversations need to be happening.”

he said.

Both the wires and the radiators contained copper, which can be sold for scrap metal, Parrott said.

The wires stolen are worth about $1,000 and the radiators are worth around $300, police said.

Officers touring the area located the 60-year-old man in the 800 block of Lake Street, Parrott said.

The witness to the theft identified the man as the person who stole the bike, Parrott said. The man had in his possession the bike, a bike light and cable lock, police said. Officers arrested the man in connection with the bike theft, he said.

Police also found a black metal crack cocaine pipe on the man, Parrott said.

The man was charged with a misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia count and a felony count of theft due to a prior conviction, Parrott said.

Man arrested in connection with theft and possession of drug paraphernalia

Police charged a man Tuesday with felony theft and possession of drug paraphernalia in connection with the theft of a bike, police said.

Officers responded to a call in the 1500 block of Sherman Avenue after a witness reported a man stealing a bicycle attached to a bike rack on the sidewalk, Parrott said.

Slaughter talks foreign policy at Leopold Lecture By julia jacobs

the daily northwestern @juliarebeccaj

Former U.S. State Department official Anne-Marie Slaughter discussed on Thursday how Americans understand foreign policy crises and what they miss, for the 25th annual Richard W. Leopold Lecture.

Although Slaughter is known for writing one of the most popular article in the history of “The Atlantic,” which covered gender inequality in the workplace, her lecture reflected the entirety of her long career in foreign policy. Slaughter, the president and CEO of the New America Foundation, a Washington think tank, was the first woman to be the director of policy planning in the State Department from 2009 to 2011.

She spoke in Cahn Auditorium about uniting old and new strategies of addressing global conflict.

Slaughter framed her lecture with a discussion of “hotspots and blindspots” in addressing crises. The United States sees the Ukraine crisis as “a tug of war between Russia and the West,” she said, but the United States fails to realize that what Ukrainians are fighting for is good government, regardless of the tool.

The way to correct those errors of thinking is by analyzing these issues in a different way than the typical chessboard mentality of the World War II and Cold War eras, Slaughter said.

“Geopolitics is very important, but it’s only half of foreign policy,” she said. “The biggest change from the 20th century to the 21st century is the rise of the ‘web.’”

Slaughter described this “web” as networks of individuals, corporations and civic and criminal organizations that have the same ability as states do to shape world events.

“There is no hierarchy, there is no one power that is greater than all the others; there are central nodes,” Slaughter said. “The United States, I still think, is the single-most important node in the world, but it is only one of a number of important nodes.”

She evoked the namesake of the lecture series, Richard Leopold, by noting that in his era, he would have adhered to the chessboard mentality. While Slaughter sees a necessary place for this chessboard strategy, the “web” is a crucial addition to our thinking, she said.

Leopold, a prominent history professor at Northwestern from 1948 to 1980, continues to have one

of the most loyal student bases at NU, history Prof.

Michael Sherry said after the event. Sherry is the Richard W. Leopold Professor of History. More than 10 of Leopold’s past students attended Slaughter’s lecture.

Sherry said he often thinks about how to draw students to the lecture series, which tends to attract an older crowd. By contrasting a traditional way of thinking about foreign policy with a 21st-century strategy, Slaughter was able to connect with younger and older audience members, Sherry said.

“It’s not every speaker who can have that breadth of appeal and those different levels of operating intellectually,” he said.

Weinberg sophomore Ashley Wood said she was skeptical of the idea that the world is moving entirely away from the chessboard approach to foreign policy, but she said she was convinced by Slaughter’s argument that the strategies should be employed simultaneously.

“When you say that both of these things are relevant, that they coexist and you have to think about the world in these two different ways, that makes sense,” Wood said. juliajacobs2018@u.northwestern.edu

DISCUSSING strategy Anne-Marie Slaughter, former director of policy planning at the U.S. State Department, speaks in Cahn Auditorium about foreign policy crises and how to address them.

McSA speakers discuss overlap of faith, social activism By shane mckeon

the daily northwestern @Shane_McKeon

About 150 people filled Harris Hall on Thursday night for the Muslim-cultural Student Association’s fall speaker event, during which two guest lecturers discussed the overlap between social justice and faith.

The event featured Tavis Smiley, a host of PBS and Public Radio International shows, and Sheik Omar Suleiman, an Islamic studies scholar.

Suleiman spoke first, discussing the link between activism and religion.

“Faith has become a way to deal with your problems, but it’s no longer a way to deal with the

world’s problems,” Suleiman said. “And that’s a huge problem.”

He spoke specifically about his views on social justice as a Muslim, particularly in light of the recent rise of the Islamic State group. Many of the group’s recruits, Suleiman said, come from countries dominated by “political quietism,” where citizens have few outlets to express discontent.

“The greatest form of jihad, and yes, I used the j-word, the greatest form of jihad is to speak a word of truth in the face of an oppressor,” Suleiman said.

“And when you take that away from people, you’re going to breed extremism.”

The United States bears some responsibility for that extremism, Suleiman said.

“When we look at the creation of ISIS, I mean,

President Obama is the fourth consecutive president to bomb Iraq,” Suleiman said. “When you bomb people into the Stone Age, you can’t be surprised when they act like they’re in the Stone Age.” In his address to the crowd, Smiley drew on his new book about Martin Luther King, Jr. Smiley called on students to “redeem the soul of this country and to save this very democracy.”

“The system is not going to just change itself,” Smiley said. “To quote Dr. King, ‘Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability.’ We have to be deliberate about the change that we want to see.”

Both speakers touched on recent protests in Ferguson, Missouri, when they discussed social justice.

Suleiman encouraged Muslim students to care about the protests.

“Ferguson is a Muslim cause,” he said. “It brought tears to my eyes to see the tear gas cans that were used.

They’re the same as the ones used in Palestine.”

McCormick senior Luqman Azhari, McSA’s secretary, told The Daily the speaker event was one of the group’s biggest of the year.

Azhari said although the group’s original purpose was to bring Muslim students together, it has since taken on a larger role, offering programming to both Muslim and non-Muslim students.

The speakers ended the event with a question-andanswer session moderated by political science Prof.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2014 to comment on the topic and therefore may be afraid of saying the wrong thing. However, he said there is no excuse for coaches to not be educated on the issue.

“Any time that there’s silence around an issue that may be very important to a specific athlete, it further invisibilizes you,” Davis said. “It further makes you think that people don’t believe that this issue is important.”

Guth, the assistant women’s basketball coach, identifies as lesbian and said the most effective way to address issues of sexuality would be on a team-byteam basis.

“The issues could be brought up the same, but the way you address a football team versus the way you address a softball team is probably different in that conversation,” she said.

when she came out and her sexuality played no role in her leaving the team.

Although Andrade, the diver, said his team has been accepting, he said some athletes are not necessarily as lucky.

“You’re on a team and you’re expected to fit that mold and if you don’t fit that mold, especially if you’re not comfortable with who you are, it’s very hard,” the Weinberg senior said. “You don’t choose the people on your team.”

The coaches’ corner Football coach Pat Fitzgerald is often represented as the face of NU’s athletic department. A standout on NU’s football team in the ‘90s and the first Wildcats coach to win a bowl game in more than 60 years, Fitzgerald is also the highest paid employee at the

University.

However, on at least two occasions, Fitzgerald has declined to comment on LGBT issues in athletics.

In February 2014, the Chicago Tribune asked four of the major college football coaches in the area about their reactions to Michael Sam coming out and what they would do if they had a gay player on their team. Sam, a former University of Missouri football player, became the first openly gay player drafted in the National Football League in May. The head coaches from the University of Notre Dame, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Northern Illinois University all said they would work to make sure a gay player felt comfortable in their locker rooms.

Fitzgerald, according to the article, declined to comment through a spokesman, saying he did not want to discuss a hypothetical situation.

When The Daily asked to speak with Fitzgerald about the topic, he again declined to comment through a spokesman. The athletic department allowed

assistant women’s basketball coach Allison Guth to be interviewed, but denied all further interview requests on the topic.

Benoit Denizet-Lewis (Medill ‘97), a former Daily staffer and a gay journalist who covers LGBT issues for The New York Times Magazine and has also written for Sports Illustrated, said a team’s culture is heavily dependent on its coach’s attitude, so he fears Fitzgerald’s lack of comment may prevent a player from being open about his sexuality.

“I would hope that if a player came to Fitz and said it was important for him to tell his teammates the truth about who he was that Fitz or any other coach at Northwestern wouldn’t shut him down,” he said. “As a Northwestern alum living in the year 2014, I really hope we’re beyond that and coaches at Northwestern would be supportive.”

Wade Davis II, the executive director of You Can Play, an organization created to help schools and teams understand the importance of safe spaces for athletes, said coaches may not have the “cultural competency”

Walter Currie was outed.

Currie, who played offensive tackle on NU’s football team from 1979 to 1981, confided in one of his teammates that he was gay during the spring of 1981.

When he came back in the fall for his junior year, he found out the player had told other teammates and the entire team knew he was gay.

He said he never intended to tell all of his teammates about his sexual orientation and described his junior year as “one of the most difficult times” of his life. He moved out of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity house and lived in a single in Foster-Walker Complex.

Currie said he moved out because he felt unwelcome by some of the members in the house. He became dependent on alcohol to cope with the homophobia, which was mainly in the form of anti-gay slurs.

However, he moved back into the fraternity house in the spring because he felt he had a right to live there.

Currie remained on the winless 1981 team but was cut prior to his senior season by the coach at the time, Dennis Green. He was not a starter on the offensive line but did serve as one of the captains of the special teams unit. Currie said he was the only one he remembers being cut before the season.

The coaches, he said, told him he was cut because he was not playing up to his potential. However, Currie, who said he played as much as any other second-string player on the team, said he thinks he was cut because he was gay. In a column from The Daily in 1997 written

by Denizet-Lewis, Green denied that claim and said he did not remember Currie.

Green could not be reached for comment.

athletes should come out to their teams.

“There are still consequences of coming out,” he said. “You just have to weigh the consequences and in my case, I didn’t make the choice. Someone made it for me.”

A different type of student Most student-athletes lead vastly different lives compared to the rest of NU’s student body. With their schedules dictated by practices and games, athletes have less time to engage with the larger NU community.

As a result, Devin Moss, former director of the LGBT Resource Center, said he struggled to reach athletes to discuss issues of sexual orientation and gender identity. Moss left NU in July and his position has not been filled.

“For me, it’s been a harder area to get into just because athletes seem to be really protected,” Moss told The Daily in July. “It’s one of those things where whether you want to talk about it or not, it exists.”

Unlike the rest of the student body, athletic department staff monitor student-athletes’ social media accounts and students can be told to take posts down if they are deemed “inappropriate,” according to NU’s student-athlete handbook.

McMonigal, the former cross country runner, said she felt her behavior was “policed” during her time as an athlete. She said sexual orientation seemed to be lumped into topics athletes should not discuss on social media.

“For me, it kind of felt like sexuality almost fell into that category a little bit just because we are supposed to appear proper and a good role model,” she said.

“For some reason, talking about sexuality and sex and things like that just seemed like something you weren’t suppose to do.”

The handbook does not specify what behaviors are considered inappropriate. A spokesman for the athletic department said posts are only asked to be taken down, which is a rare occurrence, if they could be in violation of NCAA rules.

An underground network The silence about sexual orientation that pervades NU’s athletic community has left LGBT athletes without resources for support and without a community.

Many of the athletes interviewed for this story said they were unaware of more than a few other LGBT athletes at NU. In most cases, the athletes they did

know were on their team.

NU’s main resource for the LGBT community is the Gender and Sexuality Resource Center, which was renamed this year from the LGBT Resource Center. The center serves as a hub for programming, student groups and support for the community. Many of the groups are focused on specific identities such as LGBT students in the Greek community and queer people of color.

There is no group dedicated to LGBT athletes — something all athletes interviewed said they would benefit from.

Although most of the athletes interviewed said they feel supported by their teammates and coaches, they still said they find the silence isolating.

A bisexual male diver, who graduated in June and asked to remain anonymous, said he felt alone when he came out because of how few out LGBT athletes there are.

“I felt like I was really vulnerable,” he said. “There is — especially for guys — a macho mentality and you have to show how masculine you are all the time. It can be a little scary to be around people like that when you feel less than the idea of masculine.”

McMongial said when she came out, she tried to find other athletes to talk to. However, she said she struggled to find others because no gay athletes are “super visible” and only an underground network of LGBT athletes exists.

“It’s really scary if you are a new student-athlete and you want to come out but you don’t know any other LGBT student-athletes,” McMongial said. “It kind of feels like a black box of like ‘I don’t know what’s going to happen.’”

The silence is not new for the athletic department.

Kasha Roseta, who played on the women’s soccer team from 1996 to 2000, described a similar culture of silence during her time as a Wildcat. Roseta (SESP ’00) came out as gay the summer before her senior year.

“There’s a lot of speculation going on not only about coaches, but also about players,” she said. “Nobody really brought it up because it was really seen as something that was out there. It was stigmatized.”

A missing piece The athletic department’s main programming for students revolves around creating an inclusive community, but there is no specific programming or education on LGBT issues in athletics.

Multicultural Student Affairs. The program sponsors optional events for athletes twice a quarter and also highlights other programming through MSA. Maria Sanchez, assistant athletic director for academic services and student development, coordinates the Engage program.

“We’re kind of working as we go,” she said. “We’ve committed to the dates and times and we have a loose framework for the curriculum, but we want to be able to be a little flexible based on what our students’ interests are.”

Sanchez said Engage’s November event will be centered around the power of language.

“What we are focusing on is developing a more inclusive community,” she said. “The actual curriculum doesn’t target a specific group.”

The only formal contact between student-athletes and the then-LGBT Resource Center was an annual meeting between leaders from each of the 19 varsity athletic teams, said Moss, the former director of the center.

Gordon, the field hockey player, said the lack of programming is “pretty upsetting.”

“There doesn’t have to be this issue of silence even though sometimes that’s an easier way to handle it,” the SESP junior said. “I think it would help a lot of people if there wasn’t this pressure to stay quiet.”

Davis, the executive director of You Can Play, said athletic departments must be deliberate about LGBTspecific issues because discussions about inclusivity have generally referred to race, religion and class.

“There needs to be some intentionality,” he said, “so (LGBT athletes) know that you believe that they exist because the common narrative right now is ‘I don’t have any gay athletes on my team,’ so if you’re an LGBT individual and people are using words like diversity and inclusion, you do not believe that they’re talking about you.”

A national movement As more college and professional athletes come out around the nation, colleges have taken steps to create safe spaces on athletic teams. NU, however, has not followed in the footsteps of many of its peer institutions.

Cyd Zeigler, co-founder of Outsports.com, which covers gay sports news, said colleges have focused on three areas to improve the climate for gay athletes: visibility, education and policy.

“It is the responsibility of the athletic department administrators and every single head and assistant coach

FRIday, NOVEMBER 7, 2014 to speak proactively with their teams about sexual orientation on the team and about welcoming everyone on the team whether they are gay or not,” he said.

NU’s athletic department follows the University’s policy on discrimination, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression.

One way colleges have shown their support for LGBT athletes is through You Can Play videos. The project encourages high schools, colleges and professional sports teams to make videos declaring their teams’ support for gay athletes.

“To have a school being intentional about creating a conversation about sexual orientation and gender identity is empowering,” Davis said.

Davis, who played in the NFL for four years and is gay, said the videos also show athletes that are considering coming out that they have the support of their teammates and coaches.

NU has not made a You Can Play video, but many peer institutions have, including the University of Wisconsin-Madison, The Ohio State University, Penn State University, Notre Dame and Duke University.

Davis said the project does not tend to reach out to schools; rather, schools or athletes initiate the creation of the videos.

“If Notre Dame, a Catholic university, can take some of these steps to ensure that every team is a safe space for LGBT athletes,” Zeigler said, “then Northwestern has absolutely no excuse to not do it themselves.”

In 2011, NU made a video supporting the It Gets Better Project, demonstrating support for LGBT youth and taking a stand against bullying. Both Fitzgerald and athletic director Jim Phillips were featured in the video. Sanchez said members of the Peers Urging Responsible Practices through Leadership and Education mentoring program, a group of student-athlete leaders, have discussed making other public service announcements such as a You Can Play video.

Although Nevin Caple, co-founder of Br{ache the Silence Campaign, which focuses on advancing LGBT inclusion, acknowledged the benefits of visibility campaigns, she said education on LGBT issues must take precedence.

“It’s also easy for an institution to create a video just to say we’re inclusive,” Caple said. “But unless you lay the groundwork and have that grassroots training to support that kind of visibility, then it could essentially be counterproductive.”

Caple’s ultimate goal is to start a dialogue.

“Whenever I go to a campus, I don’t really get many people saying, ‘I don’t want to talk,’” she said. “They just need a space to feel safe so that they can talk.”

for Northwestern’s

passing problems?

By BOBBY PILLOTE

daily senior staffer @BobbyPillote

It’s been a terrible year on offense for Northwestern.

The unit looked good on paper heading into the season, but, through eight games, it has produced a tepid 19.1 points per game, a mark that ranks 117th out of 128 Football Bowl Subdivision teams.

That production seems even worse given the emergence of true freshman running back Justin Jackson, who has been the savior of the offense this year by amassing 726 yards and five touchdowns rushing.

The impotence of the passing attack — the Wildcats rank 122nd nationally with 5.6 yards per attempt — is mostly responsible for the

@DailyNU_Sports

paltry point totals, and at this point it’s hard to know what exactly has gone awry.

Senior quarterback Trevor Siemian gets most of the blame, and while his play this season has been mediocre — statistically he is the worst quarterback in the Big Ten (more on that later) — he isn’t alone out on the field.

The offensive line and receivers, as groups, have just as much to do with the success of the offense as the quarterback.

The offensive line Siemian hasn’t had much time to throw the ball this season.

NU’s quarterback has taken 23 sacks this season, but not all of them can be blamed on the offensive line. Siemian has notoriously poor pocket presence, isn’t very elusive in the backfield and frequently has to hold onto the

ball because his receivers aren’t open.

Additionally, the Cats’ offense is hard to gauge because so many of the pass plays they run are designed short throws or screens. This doesn’t offer much opportunity to grade the linemen on their pass blocking, and the short passes may be so prevalent in order to mask the weaknesses of the line.

From any perspective, offensive linemen are difficult to quantitatively judge.

“When you get graded, you get a plus or a minus,” junior offensive guard Geoff Mogus said on the team’s system for evaluating linemen. “If you do your job on the play then you get a plus.”

It’s difficult for an observer to know what a blocker’s job is on a given play, but looking at the line’s performance in the run game » See PASSING, page 10

field. It starts at his locker, where he has “All for Jesus” written to remind himself of his biggest motivation. On the field, everything he offers stems from an unwavering promise to his faith.

“Ever since coming to college, I’ve really grown in my faith, and that has honestly been fueling my passion for football,” Chapman said.

“I really try to turn every practice into a prayer, every play into prayer. I’m trying to offer up what I’m doing as a prayer to God and it’s helping me give better effort, because I’m not going to say ‘God, this is for you’ and then not give my best effort.”

Chapman’s efforts stretch off the football field

Walker said he and Ellis communicate constantly, returning to the athletic facilities after class to watch more film.

Because Ellis did not practice this week, he was unavailable to media, but Walker said if the senior is taking his absence hard, it doesn’t show.

“He’s always got a smile on his face,” Walker said.

“He’s always energetic, and if he is sad I wouldn’t know because he’s live with me. He’s still playing through me.”

The attitude that drives Chapman, the motivation that allows him to give 100 percent on every play, comes from his faith. Fitzgerald described Chapman’s commitment to religion as “special.”

“He came to me before the season and asked if there’s any way we can have Father come say Mass on Fridays before home games,” Fitzgerald explained. “He walks the talk. He’s the real deal.

And that’s the way he plays.”

Nathan Richards/Daily Senior Staffer

This should have been a big year for both Ibraheim Campbell and Collin Ellis.

As senior captains and perhaps Northwestern’s two best defensive players, Campbell and Ellis should have ended their careers with glory and plaudits.

Campbell should have supplied big hits and athletic interceptions, Ellis should have contributed sturdy run-stuffing and positional flexibility, and the duo should have led a top-notch Wildcats defense that should have carried NU to the top of the Big Ten West.

But Ellis came out of NU’s Oct. 11 game against Minnesota with a concussion and hasn’t returned to the field since, and Campbell has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since Sept. 27 against Penn State.

“It hasn’t been fun at all,” Campbell said Wednesday. “I’ve been playing football since I was 10 years old, and it’s the first time I’ve had to miss a game.”

Campbell planned to play last weekend at Iowa but decided pre-game that he wasn’t ready. He’s listed as “questionable” for Saturday’s game against Michigan but said if nothing changes before then, he’ll be out there. Ellis, coach Pat Fitzgerald said, is “week-to-week” and unlikely to play Saturday.

Before their injuries, Campbell and Ellis were pillars of the Cats’ defense. Campbell has 285 career tackles and nine interceptions. Ellis, who didn’t start full time until junior year, has 147 career tackles and returned two picks for touchdowns last season against California.

Thus, their absences have left two voids in NU’s defense.

Campbell and Ellis have been tasked with developing their backups, redshirt freshmen Godwin Igwebuike and Anthony Walker, respectively. Campbell has helped Igwebuike prepare for the greater load of playing every down, and Ellis takes notes during games to go over with Walker after each series.

The first thing you notice when you look at Max Chapman is his beard.

In its full, sweaty, post-practice glory, Chapman’s beard is the platonic ideal of manliness.

It hangs off the junior defensive lineman’s face and commands respect, demanding you stand up straight and be on your best behavior. The beard also begs the question: How long did it take to grow that thing?

“This beard started on the Fourth of July, so it’s America’s beard,” Chapman proudly proclaims. “I was at a rib fest, and a beard trimmer messed up my old beard. I shaved it off, and this one has been growing ever since.”

Six-plus months of dedication to anything — a diet, a significant other, let alone someThis beard growing on your started on the thing face — is a difficult task Fourth of July, for many college stuso it’s America’s dents. But the dedication to his mane pales beard. in comparison to the Max Chapman, dedication Chapman defensive end makes to his teammates, at least according to his head coach.

“He’s our Energizer Bunny, man,” Pat Fitzgerald said. “He plays with everything he’s got in his heart and soul. He usually gets that defensive line going. He plays just really, really hard.”

Chapman’s contribution to Northwestern’s 2014 campaign may not show up on the stat sheet, but it does not go unnoticed. His ability to play any position along the defensive line vaulted him into a spot in the unit’s rotation.

And although Chapman may not be one of the sack artists making the big play on third down, his versatility and tenacity helped anchor arguably the best position group on the team.

For Chapman, being the “Energizer Bunny” of that group is the ultimate compliment.

10 GAMEDAY PASSING From page 7

may offer some insight on their overall performance. Run blocking and pass blocking are distinct but still related abilities, so there is some correlation between the two.

Not surprisingly, the rate statistics for NU’s running game are poor, with the Cats generating just 3.23 yards per carry, 115th in the nation, even with Jackson in the backfield.

It’s impossible to calculate the exact contribution of the offensive line to the Cats’ passing woes, but it’s also reasonable to say the offense would be better if the line were playing at a higher level.

The receivers “Horrible,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said of the recent play of his pass-catching group, “but we’re not going to stop coaching them. A lot of guys in that group, that’s what I’m talking about: Every day is the first day.”

The most visible aspect of the Cats’ offensive frustration has been drops by receivers, which reflects a lack of the football fundamentals Fitzgerald loves to harp on.

Nearly every pass-catcher on the roster has been culpable at one point or another, so it’s easy to say if all the drops were eliminated Siemian’s numbers would be better and the offense would be fixed.

But every offense has to account for dropped passes, and NU likely isn’t significantly worse than other teams.

Rather, the Cats’ drops seem worse because of their situational context. The offense doesn’t employ many deep passes and frequently finds itself in key third down situations, magnifying the effect of every ball that isn’t caught.

NU has more of a problem with its receivers getting open, either because of scheme or ability. Covered receivers make it more difficult for the quarterback to get rid of the ball and also make the ball more difficult to catch.

“The concept calls for a guy to run a route with an outside release and he inside releases,” Fitzgerald said. “I don’t know how to tell Trevor what to do on that.”

The receivers’ failure to create space frequently shows up in game tape. Take, for example, the play seen in the first image on the right, from early in NU’s loss to Iowa.

The Cats line up with four wide, and the Hawkeyes match them by spreading out their linebackers. Each NU receiver has a defender lined up across from him, indicating man coverage.

As can be seen in the second image, Siemian reaches the end of his drop-back and doesn’t have any options, with all of the receivers in the frame covered or near-covered.

The Daily Northwestern In the third image, Siemian looks poised to hit a seemingly open Dan Vitale, but it’s actually a good thing the quarterback didn’t throw towards the junior superback. Iowa’s free safety is shading towards Vitale because the receivers to his right are covered, and if Siemian attempted the throw he could have easily jumped the route and broken up the pass.

Siemian only has about 2.5 seconds to throw on this play, but ultimately takes the sack because his check-down receiver (to the right of the referee) runs right into double coverage.

One play isn’t indicative of what’s been going on for an entire season, but this particular example does illustrate some of the challenges the offense faces in relation to its receivers.

Friday, November 7, 2014

1

The quarterback As previously mentioned, based on his statistical output Siemian is the worst starting quarterback in the Big Ten. Among qualifying players (those who have started at least 75 percent of their team’s games and have at least 15 pass attempts per game), Siemian is 12th out of 12 starters in the conference in yards per attempt with 5.5.

Despite the poor yards per attempt figure Siemian is still eighth in completion percentage, highlighting NU’s affinity for short passes (the four quarterbacks below him still have a higher YPA despite having more attempts that go for zero yards).

His touchdown ratio is the worst in the conference, with just four touchdown passes in 283 passing attempts.

Mercifully, he has managed to limit his turnovers and has thrown only six interceptions this year, but that’s probably more a result of NU’s conservative play-calling than anything else.

One thing is clear at this point in the season and in Siemian’s career: The quarterback has regressed. He is not the same player who showed promise in 2012 and (albeit brief ) flashes of brilliance in 2013.

Siemian shouldn’t receive all the blame but rightly deserves much of it. Competent performances from him were enough to earn improbable wins over Penn State and Wisconsin, but the margin for error for the defense is incredibly slim when Siemian is leading the offense.

This isn’t to say that junior backup Zack Oliver is a better option, because his 1-for-6 performance in relief duty against Iowa was far from inspiring. There is more talent down the quarterback depth chart in redshirt freshman Matt Alviti and true freshman Clayton Thorson, and it’s striking that neither has received any consideration.

3 But if the play of the offensive line and wide receivers is any indication, simply making a switch at quarterback will not be enough. The entire passing game is struggling and has been worse than expected.

It’s not a lost season yet, but the Cats simply may not have the pieces on their current roster to turn things around. robertpillote2017@u.northwestern.edu

Breaking down the Cats’ hopes for going bowling If NU goes 4-8 (The “disaster” scenario): NU loses three of its four remaining games, including at least one to the Purdue-Illinois cellar-dweller duo. They do not come close to a bowl game and have major questions to answer.

CHANGING DIRECTION Senior quarterback Trevor Siemian searches for openings in the Iowa defense. Siemian and the Wildcats need to reverse course quickly to qualify for a bowl game this season.

daily senior staffer @JosephDiebold

the next two seasons, but that is a real danger at this point. Here are the various bowl scenarios for the Wildcats with four games to play.

With the college football season entering its final third, it’s time to take a look at where things stand for Northwestern’s chances of going bowling in December or early January.

Coming off a 10-3 season and a victory in the Gator Bowl in 2013, few would have predicted that the team would miss out on a bowl game

If NU goes 3-9 (The “blow it up” scenario): The Cats fall to Michigan, Notre Dame, Purdue and Illinois.

If that happens, NU will not come close to bowl eligibility and fan outrage at coach Pat Fitzgerald and the rest of the coaching staff will reach a fever pitch.

By joseph diebold

If NU goes 5-7 (The “Nerdwestern pays off ” scenario): The Cats keep it close with two legacy programs but fall to both Notre Dame and Michigan. But Fitzgerald rallies the troops to finish the year with victories over the Boilermakers and Illinois.

This is where it gets interesting. Thanks to an increase in bowl games this year, there are 38 bowl games, not counting the national championship game, meaning 76 teams will receive bowl invitations. Last year there were 79 bowl-eligible teams, but in 2012 there were just 71. Currently, 49 FBS teams have reached at least six wins, with 21 more at five wins.

Even if all 21 get to six wins, that leaves six more slots that must be filled. If fewer than 76 teams reach bowl eligibility, the NCAA has a series of criteria to fill the remaining slots. Several are unlikely to come into play, including a 6-6 team that loses its conference championship game to fall to 6-7. The final criterion is a 5-7 team who is in the top five among Football Bowl Subdivision teams in the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate, where NU is second (behind Duke, who is already bowl-eligible).

Although sneaking in the back door to a bowl game would leave a bad taste in fans’ mouths, particularly following a hypothetical second straight 5-7 season, the Cats surely wouldn’t care how they got there. If NU did wind up gaining bowl eligibility, the most likely destinations would be games unfilled by either Conference USA (which may lose

Marshall to a “New Year’s Six” game) or the Mountain West (which may lose Colorado State to the same), possibly the Independence Bowl or the Cactus Bowl.

If NU goes 6-6 (The “finish strong” scenario): NU wins a tight one Saturday against Michigan, then hangs with Notre Dame until the fourth quarter but loses a heartbreaker in South Bend, Indiana. The Cats use the close loss as motivation to blow out Purdue and Illinois, getting to bowl eligibility. Under this scenario, NU could join Michigan State, Ohio State, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Penn State, Maryland and Rutgers in the eligible pool of Big Ten teams (if the Cats lose to Michigan but beat Notre Dame on the way to 6-6, the Wolverines could also snatch a bowl berth and would likely be picked ahead of NU). That’s 10 or 11 bowl teams, with a 6-6 NU team along the lowest rungs of that ladder. That probably means a trip to the Detroit Bowl or the Heart of Dallas Bowl, depending on whether one or two conference teams get into the “New Year’s Six” games.

If NU goes 7-5 (The “Fitzgerald’s revenge” scenario): NU shakes off a blowout loss in Iowa City, Iowa to knock off Michigan, then goes on the road and shocks Notre Dame.

Buoyed by a dose of national attention and renewed hope, the Cats trounce Purdue and Illinois to finish the year. In this scenario, the Cats are assured of making a bowl game and could sneak up to the San Francisco Bowl or the Pinstripe Bowl. But Detroit and Dallas are still the most likely destinations, given NU’s small alumni base and the lack of hype surrounding the team this season.

Pastors talk pro-Israel support By alice yin

the daily northwestern @alice__yin

Two pastors gave speeches advocating for the black community to support Israel on Thursday night at Northwestern.

Dumisani Washington, director of the Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel, and Chris Harris, a pastor at the Bright Star Church in Chicago, addressed an audience of about 30 students and local residents at the event, which was hosted by Wildcats for Israel.

Both speakers emphasized the connection Jewish and black communities have from their histories of oppression.

Washington said Israel’s existence as the only Jewish state in the Middle East is constantly threatened, adding that Israel’s war-torn roots bring the nation’s people closer to the black community.

“What the Holocaust is to you, slavery is to us,” Harris said to the audience. “Just like you lost millions, so did we.”

Washington also discussed what he said was an unfair international perception of Israel. He said Israel is “the only viable democracy in the Middle East” and is unfairly deemed the center of all problems, and played a video that questioned how 40 percent of United Nation’s special sessions have ended in a condemnation of Israel.

The pastor denounced that rate, giving examples of Israeli humanitarianism and human rights violations in Palestine and saying Hamas is to blame for the execution, torture and mass deaths of its own people, many of whom were children.

To demonstrate what he called the U.N.’s anti-Israel propaganda, he asked a woman in the audience to stand up.

“If I said something terrible about her over and over, you would leave here believing that even though she is a beautiful person,” Washington said.

Washington concluded with a defense of Zionism, and said it is a legitimate expression of the Jewish people’s self-determination.

“Saying Zionism is a form of racism when it is a movement to protect Jews from racism is saying the civil rights movement and Martin Luther King Jr. is racist,” Washington said.

After the two speeches concluded, the floor was open to a question-and-answer session. Mort Doblin, a retired pediatrician from Winnetka, Illinois, who identifies as a conservative Jew, criticized the presentation for focusing only on the United States. He said it lacked focus on societal issues in Israel.

“I don’t find it totally honest,” Doblin said. “In Israel, Palestinians don’t get their garbage picked up.

Palestinians don’t have a house to live in.”

Harris told The Daily that NU was a responsive audience.

“Whenever you find young people that are interested in having conversations that are not necessarily always welcomed or not always comfortable, it’s good to find folks that are intrigued … especially between the Jewish and African-American community,” Harris told The Daily. “Folks were not scared to ask questions.” aliceyin2017@u.northwestern.edu

Ramp up school spirit by learning the alma mater meredith goodman

Daily columnist

If you have ever glanced at my columns, you might have noticed that I am a huge hometown Longhorns fan. At every University of Texas game or event that I attended, from women’s basketball games to football tailgates and even band concerts, every fan in the arena knew the words and sang along to the alma mater.

Northwestern, we have a school spirit problem. Although we all wear purple to the football games and sing the fight song loudly, barely anyone knows the school alma mater (or people know it and they aren’t singing along). As a senior who will graduate soon — and will sing the alma mater at her

graduation ceremony — this irks me a lot.

It makes me frustrated enough to yell at the Homecoming Royalty when more than half of them did not sing along to the alma mater (yes sorry, that was me obnoxiously yelling during the Homecoming ceremony on Deering Meadow).

This isn’t even a new topic of concern for me. I have written a column on the importance of knowing the alma mater previously.

A year after I wrote that column, things seem as if they haven’t improved much.

Tomorrow we will play the Wolverines, and I guarantee you that every Michigan fan will know the alma mater and sing it proudly if the Michigan band comes to Ryan Field and plays it. The Ohio State fans not only embarrassed us on the football field last year, but their fans stayed after the game to sing their alma mater, “Carmen Ohio.” Similarly, I am very sure that when NU fans travel to

Notre Dame next week, we will hear: “Notre Dame, Our Mother.”

But more important than knowing the alma mater in order to avoid embarrassment in front of rival schools is the exhibition of pride in our University. Fellow seniors, remember that we will sing the alma mater at graduation and at any football game that we return to as alumni. The alma mater is as much of an NU tradition as painting The Rock, Dillo Day or the primal scream, and we should respect it by learning the words.

Despite all the negativity I have spewed in this column, I believe that there is hope for the alma mater. One of my friends who is a peer adviser told me that this year at the Millennium Park welcome ceremony for Wildcat Welcome, Burgwell Howard, assistant vice president of student engagement at NU, taught new freshmen and transfer students the alma mater. I am happy to hear

this and hope that these students can serve as an example for the rest of NU by singing the alma mater proudly at all school occasions.

In closing, I would like to print the alma mater in this column so that everyone can learn it (only 40 words!): Hail to Alma Mater We will sing thy praise forever All thy sons and daughters Pledge thee victory and honor Alma Mater Praise be thine May thy name forever shine Hail to purple Hail to white Hail to thee Northwestern Meredith Goodman is a Weinberg senior.

Pop songs shouldn’t dictate your self-worth, values heiwon shin

Daily columnist

I’m often in a love-hate relationship with pop songs. Pop songs are catchy and catch me they do. I mean, it’s hard not to listen to those beats. Besides the beats, the lyrics keep you hooked, covering anything from the ordinary to the extraordinary and gently walking the lines of risque, if not downright flaunting, bold statements. But what are we without some provocation in this age?

At the same time, though, there are cringe-worthy moments that make me stop and think.

Take Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass,” for instance. “Every inch of you is perfect,” which I love. “My mama she told me don’t worry about your size,” absolutely. But wait, was that message only for the girls with curves? Because the song continues: “She says, ‘Boys like a little more booty to hold at night.’ You know I won’t be no stick figure silicone Barbie doll.”

And no, Nicki Minaj is not the one for the subtle: In “Anaconda” she raps, “F— those skinny bitches.”

But let me now stop this line-to-line

English-class-style analysis, because I’m not trying to argue that top chart songs should be a shrine of political correctness and that we should observe puritanical standards.

Nicki Minaj says her song is to empower women, and while I’m sure she doesn’t mean to, “Anaconda” can come across as skinny-shaming because body image is such a sensitive issue. The same goes for Meghan Trainor, who, in an interview with Popjustice, responded to the controversy: “I guess they stop listening immediately after I say ‘skinny bitches’ and just turn it off,” she said.

“But I say, ‘…just kidding, I know even you think you are fat.’”

Intention and rhetoric, though, can be two separate things, especially given widespread controversy concerning body image and its portrayal in the media. Pop songs are like a looking glass of what is at large in society: They reflect what’s going on and influence it too. Even if songs like “Anaconda” and “All About That Bass” are not skinny-shaming songs, they can add to the body obsession that the media is already creating. There’s a lot of fat-shaming and skinny-shaming going on, and all this unhealthy body talk can leave an impression on young teenagers and young adults who have yet to understand who they are as a person.

Personally, I also struggled with body image. In fifth grade, girls and boys from the

“

Pop songs are like a looking glass of what is at large in society: They reflect what’s going on and influence it too.

other classes would come over during each break time and measure my waist, thighs, arms and whatever seemed amusing. When I was no longer stick thin, I became stressed out. Now that I think about it, it was because I had come to base my self worth on my figure. When I could no longer hold on to that state of skinniness, I felt as if I was no longer worth anything and that no one would like me.

Brown University’s Health Promotion even calls body image “a widespread preoccupation,” citing a study that found 74.4 percent of normal-weight female college students and 46 percent of normal-weight men think about their weight or appearance “all the time” or “frequently.” Such fixation can be dangerous because it can lead to poor body image: As the authors of “The Adonis Complex” argued, “obsession breeds discontent.”

To not talk about the body at all is not

only impossible, but it also doesn’t get to the root of the problem. Rather, we should realize how much power individuals have to counteract the negativity and over-the-top craze over the body.

Shaming others should not be a way to feel better about oneself. Not only is it bad for the others who are shamed, but it’s also bad for those who do it. If we feel good about ourselves based on others, then it’s not truly about ourselves. We are more capable than we think we are. We should look back at ourselves and think about whether we have carried over the body obsession from pop culture back to our real lives. What I’m proposing is not about changing the world, but about caring about those next to us – that in itself is already a huge change. We are our own bullies, but we can become our own helpers instead.

We should be the ones deciding our values and worths and not others. We should be singing something more along the lines of Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful:” “I am beautiful in every single way.”

FRIday, NOVEMBER 7, 2014

Residents express concerns about bike route changes between the bike paths on Davis Street and Church Street, said Suzette Robinson, the city’s director of public works. The changes are supposed to serve as a part of a developing grid so residents can get around safely, she said.

“Part of our establishing a network is preventative. We don’t want to wait until we end up with multiple encounters,” Robinson said. “We do want to be thoughtful and try to get ahead to connect the dots before we end up with any type of issue.”

Some residents said they were concerned about the impact on parking spaces that the biking lanes would have and told Robinson that the city was not taking into consideration those that the lack of parking would affect.

At a City Council meeting Sept. 29, city officials presented a plan with two options: Either construct protected bike lanes with a bigger impact on parking spaces or construct unprotected bike lanes with less impact. Council voted in favor of the protected bike lanes.

There were many opportunities at previous city

Community members expressed concerns about proposed bike improvements in the area around Evanston Township High School at a meeting held by city staff Thursday.

City officials discussed plans to develop bike routes and other renovations in the area surrounding ETHS, Church Street and Mason Park.

Officials presented the plan for the area to an audience of less than 15 people, mostly made up of Evanston residents. The meeting at the Erie Family Health Center, 1285 Hartrey Ave., was intended to be a workshop for staff to present the plan, which includes bike lanes, and then discuss it with residents and other attendees.

The improvements are in part meant to create a network of bike paths by connecting the various routes that exist throughout the city, including the area

meetings for residents to voice their opinions about the bike lanes, Ald. Peter Braithwaite (2nd) said.

“This conversation about the bike lanes has been taking place for quite some time, even before I was on council,” he said.

Some residents said they were worried about the potential contact between bicyclists and people getting out of cars next to the bike lanes. Attendees also expressed concerns that bicyclists would not obey the rules of the road.

Once infrastructure for bicyclists improves, they are more likely to acknowledge laws more appropriately, attendee Justin Haugens said.

Robinson said all users of the road have to comply with regulations, as they are all responsible for following the rules.

“Bad behavior is bad behavior,” she said. “It happens from the drivers, to pedestrians, to bikers.”

However, another attendee said she was particularly upset that certain groups weren’t being taken into consideration when decisions were made about the bike lanes.

“When you do not consciously take into account every segment of your community that is going to be traveling on these roads, there is a group that will be greatly impacted and they will be disenfranchised from Evanston and move from Evanston because you are making it harder and harder for them to get around,” she said.

Richard Goodrow, a father and an Evanston resident since 2013, said he has not owned a car since 1999 and was soon going to take the training wheels off his daughter’s bike.

“Evanston again is looking at building something bold,” Goodrow said. “There is a point at which some people’s inconvenience doesn’t trump my kid’s safety.”

Robinson told The Daily she wished more people had come to the meeting since it spreads awareness and educates residents about the process.

“It also helps everybody respect each other and the use of the roadway better,” she said. stephaniekelly2017@u.northwestern.edu

NU Threads to host clothing drive ahead of winter launch cleaning themselves.

The group is looking to collect all types of formal wear, from party to business attire, said Weinberg sophomore Jessica Lewis, NU Threads chief marketing officer.

The group currently has 15 full outfits and wants to have one in every size for both men and women.

“The idea is that nobody should be able to come to the closet and say, ‘You don’t have something that will fit me,’” said Pooja Mirchandani, NU Threads president.

The group hosted a clothing drive in the spring and kept a box in Scott Hall throughout the

NU Threads, a student-run communal closet that formed last academic year, is collecting outfits for an anticipated Winter Quarter launch.

The campus closet that lends out formal wear will host a clothing drive on the ground floor of Norris University Center during Family Weekend beginning on Friday.

NU Threads plans to launch its service Jan. 5.

The service will be free for students, though those who borrow clothing are expected to pay for dry

summer, the Weinberg senior said.

Mirchandani said she wanted to hold the upcoming drive during Family Weekend because families can bring in clothes that they don’t want anymore or clothes that don’t fit them.

“For Family Weekend, we’re really hoping to get a lot because these are people who understand why we’re doing this,” she said. “It’s a cause that means a lot to families and students so they’d be willing to help.”

Mirchandani started the initiative after her Sustained Dialogue group discussed the issue that many students can’t afford or don’t have access to a suit.

“We want to alleviate this problem as much as we can,” she said.

Weinberg senior Amina Dreessen, who was also in the Sustained Dialogue group, said she plans on donating some clothes at the drive this weekend and said she hopes it helps low income students find formal wear.

“It’s important to have things like NU Threads because students are recognizing that there are inequalities,” she said. “I’ve been really happy to see this program take off. It’s a testament to the impact Sustained Dialogue can have on this campus.” emilychin2018@u.northwestern.edu

University dedicates new lakeside athletic facilities

By BOBBY PILLOTE

daily senior staffer @BobbyPillote

Northwestern celebrated Thursday its renovated athletics facilities located on both ends of campus with two dedication ceremonies, one for the new Sailing Center and one for the remodeled Henry Crown Sports Pavilion.

University President Morton Schapiro addressed a small crowd at both events, and spoke about his long-term vision for revamping NUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lakeside architecture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to do a better job incorporating Lake Michigan and the beach into the fabric of our campus,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing that now.â&#x20AC;?

The new Sailing Center offers major upgrades over the previous facility, said Dan Bulfin, director

Caps

From page 1 Dunkle at Norris University Center.

With three recent hires from the last year and a half now in place, CAPS is sustaining its programming for this academic year, including the second annual Essential NU on mental health during Wildcat Welcome and the continuation of the QPR Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper Training Program. Henry Perkins, coordinator of CAPSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Stress

of recreational sports. At the ceremony, he said the new building now has basic amenities, including running water, heating and air conditioning and showers, that were absent from the old structure.

The space is also expected to be a boon to the NU Sailing Team, said Commodore Travis Cottle, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leader. The McCormick senior said the team has qualified for nationals four of the past five years and now â&#x20AC;&#x153;has the amenities to match.â&#x20AC;?

Cottle added that NU is one of only two schools in the Midwest with an on-campus boathouse, allowing the team to spend more time practicing and less time traveling. He said he was most excited about an expanded classroom space, featuring televisions and wall-to-wall whiteboards.

Tadhg Martin, who directs the center, emphasized the importance of having additional

space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now we can put stuff where it belongs,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Bulfin, along with Jim Phillips, vice president for Athletics and Recreation, also introduced the revamped Henry Crown Sports Pavilion on Thursday. Phillips spoke about the facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high usage, saying more than 325,000 visits were made last year.

Nearly 30,000 square feet of new space was added to accommodate the heavy usage, Bulfin said.

McCormick junior James Pisano, a student supervisor at Crown Sports Pavilion, also spoke at the rededication. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The opening of the new gym has been the most anticipated event of my Northwestern career,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Pisano met frequently with Bulfin during the

renovation process, relaying student input and feedback. He was also responsible for keeping students updated on the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress. He said he believed the University greatly considered student usage of the old facilities when making additions, including dedicated dance studios.

Bulfin said NUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletic and recreational facilities are different from those at other schools because students, staff and alumni mingle at Crown Sports Pavilion. Pisano agreed with the sentiment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The gym is one of the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest social spheres,â&#x20AC;? Pisano said.

Lester Crown, son of the late Henry Crown, was present at the event and participated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially rededicate the renovated building.

Management Clinic, noted the success of the ENU in increasing CAPSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; visibility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really enthused about being able to make the entire class aware of our services and some of the normal strains and struggles that students encounter in adjusting to the University,â&#x20AC;? Perkins said.

Last academic year, the Stress Management Clinic added the Enhancing Attention through Mindfulness workshop to its services in collaboration with AccessibleNU, Perkins said. Both this and the Introduction to Mindfulness workshop, which

has been running for five years, aim to help students improve their focus and will continue this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the frequent issues that Northwestern students are presented with has to do with concentration and specifically being able to focus and pay attention,â&#x20AC;? Perkins said.

Despite the clinics being geared toward individuals with attention deficit disorder, Perkins emphasized their usefulness for all students.

These and other services through CAPS have reached more students due to continued exposure,

Dunkle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the exciting thing is a lot of our outreachtype of programming â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like our Essential NU on Mental Health, our QPR, our Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Talk â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is working because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading to increases in numbers of students who come in to reach out to services at our center,â&#x20AC;? Dunkle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I think that is something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to know, that our outreach is really working.â&#x20AC;?

Exhibition offers test for NU McKendree vs. Northwestern Evanston 7 p.m. Friday

By JESSE KRAMER

the daily northwestern @Jesse_Kramer

Who cares that McKendree lost to Evansville by 28 points in an exhibition last Saturday? No matter how the competition looks, coach Chris Collins’ top goal is to bring it in Northwestern’s season-opening exhibition Friday and give his young team some winning experience.

“Ultimately, we need to learn how to win,” Collins said. “First and foremost is we want to win the game.”

But Collins is not yet sure what lineups and rotations give his team the best chance to achieve that goal, not necessarily just for Friday’s game, but for the season.

Collins is expected to start veterans JerShon Cobb, Alex Olah and Sanjay Lumpkin, along with freshmen Bryant McIntosh and Vic Law, according to NU’s game notes. But he said he plans on experimenting during the exhibition with new lineups and rotations to

see what does and does not work.

“I have a little bit of an idea of what I’d like to do and how I’d like to play,” Collins said. “It changes when you get into games because you might see some things that you don’t see in practice. When you put everybody together, who plays well together? …

We’ll use (Friday) to start developing a rotation.”

Olah, a junior center, spent all offseason working on his post moves, rebounding and generally rounding out his game. Even though the Bearcats are the weakest opponent the Wildcats will face all season, Olah said he wants to see how his development, and the team’s preseason work overall, holds up against new competition.

“We all know the plays, so we can kind of cheat in practice,” Olah said.

Facing an unfamiliar opponent will provide a better idea of where the Cats stand entering the season.

The Cats’ season will depend heavily on the performance of its freshman class, tabbed 31st in the nation

by ESPN’s recruiting rankings.

In addition to the two probable starters who are newcomers, Collins has said freshmen Scottie Lindsey, Johnnie Vassar and Gavin Skelly could also see quality minutes this

season. The key will be getting them as game-ready as possible before the Cats play their first game that counts on Nov. 14.

“In a game like this you want everybody to get an opportunity to play and get some experience and get their feet wet in college basketball,” Collins said.

While the freshmen make the transition to the college game, center Jeremiah Kreisberg is also transitioning, just a bit differently. Kreisberg played three seasons at Yale and then transferred to Northwestern as a graduate student for his final season of eligibility.

Friday will be Kreisberg’s first competitive game since March 9, 2013.

He missed all of last season with an injury.

“I’m just really excited,” Kreisberg said. “I’m ready to have fun, be part of a team again.”

The game will not mean anything in the win and loss columns, but the rest of the Cats are excited to get back on the court as well.

“We’re treating this game as a normal game,” Olah said. “We’re treating it as if it counts.” jessekramer2017@u.northwestern.edu

For the first time since 1996, No. 3 Northwestern (14-6, 7-2 Big Ten) advanced past the opening round of the Big Ten Tournament, overcoming No. 6 seed Iowa (11-7, 4-5) 2-1.

With a season-high 10 saves from senior goalkeeper Maddy Carpenter and 2 goals in the first half, the Wildcats beat out the Hawkeyes. Only 36 seconds after the Hawkeyes scored the day’s first goal, sophomore Isabel Flens retaliated with a goal of her own to tie up the game.

“That’s when the most goals are scored in field hockey,” Flens said. “So we got the ball up front immediately after a corner, the goalie came out, and I was able to shoot it right underneath her. It was great.”

After Flens’s goal, neither team scored until less than 30 seconds remained in the first half when junior Caroline Troncelliti put her 10th goal of the season in the net. The sophomore and junior have combined for 20 of NU’s 53 goals on the season, each with 10.

“Honestly I wasn’t even aware of the clock,” Troncelliti said. “We’ve been practicing our quick hits, dribbling the ball when the defense is off guard. I dribbled by a couple of defenders, we’ve been working on taking early shots and getting things off, and I knew the field was bouncy, so I took a shot from the top of the circle and hoped for the best, and it went in.”

With her first double-digit number of

saves this season, Carpenter was put to the test in goal. The Hawkeyes outshot the Cats 13-2 in the second half, the most shots NU has allowed in one half since playing Maryland in September.

Despite an injury to Iowa’s top player, Natalie Cafone, early in the second half, the Hawkeyes kept the pressure on the Cats defense throughout.

“It was quite the game,” Carpenter said. “They had a lot of corners, some pretty good shots, but I was ready for them. I told my friends going into it that I wasn’t ready for my career to be over, so I did everything I could to make sure we kept going and move on. … We definitely wanted it more.”

Overall, coach Tracey Fuchs was pleased with NU’s performance and not backing down in the face of

adversity. This is the first time as the Cats’ coach that Fuchs has brought her team past the first round of the Big Ten Tournament.

“Honestly, Iowa is playing as good as anybody in the Big Ten,” Fuchs said.

“For us to come out and beat them today says a lot about where our program is right now. We have to work on things, but I couldn’t be happier that we got through that game. We get to celebrate for about an hour here and then we’re going to get to work on Michigan.”

This game marks the first time out of three visits this season NU has come away with a win in Ann Arbor. Next, the Cats will battle the host No. 2 Wolverines on Friday at 2:45 p.m. michaelmarut2016@u.northwestern.edu

Wu leads NU to 5th

By TYLER VANDERMOLEN

Dylan Wu knew he had been playing solid golf in the days leading up to Northwestern’s appearance in this week’s Gifford Collegiate Championship in San Martin, California. Still, it would have been difficult for anyone to predict just how dramatic the highly recruited freshman’s tournament would turn out to be.

Wu won the tournament, beating second-place Jake Knapp of UCLA by a single shot.

“I knew I had some things working for me lately,” Wu said. “In our practice round at Stanford earlier this week, I shot 65, so I was definitely feeling confident. Obviously I’m pretty ecstatic that things ended up the way they did.”

Wu entered Wednesday’s final round only one shot out of the lead after the tournament’s first two days but quickly saw that gap widen as Knapp, the overnight leader and Wu’s playing partner, came out red-hot.

“I think he was down as many as four shots at one point on the front side, so he really did a good job of hanging in there early,” coach David Inglis said. “Since he was playing with the kid from UCLA, he was able to kind of go head-to-head with him down the stretch, and he ended up coming up very clutch.”

Wu battled back from his early deficit, carding birdies on holes 12, 13 and 14 to pull into a tie for the lead. His rally threatened to fall apart on hole 15, however, as his approach shot from 180 yards plugged in the sand underneath the lip of a greenside bunker.

“Honestly it was probably one of the worst breaks I’ve ever gotten and one of the most ridiculous holes I’ve ever played,” he said. “I had to play out sideways into the

rough, and then my putt for bogey looked like it was going in. But it did a full 360 and spun out.”

Wu credited Inglis with helping him to stay composed after the costly double bogey. After pouring in a birdie putt on the tournament’s penultimate hole, he stood on the 18th tee just one shot back of Knapp.

“I just told him ‘Hey, make him make a birdie here if he wants to win this thing,’” Inglis said. “Then (Knapp) hit it in the hazard, and Dylan stuck his approach to four feet.”

Wu sank the putt, becoming the first individual champion for NU since early last year.

“Just a great feeling to close it out like that,” Wu said.

As a whole the tournament was a solid one for the Wildcats, who finished fifth in a 10-team field that included six of Golfweek’s top 30 collegiate programs. Despite the result, Inglis and Wu both expressed a degree of disappointment, as the team actually dropped two places on the event’s final day.

NU’s three-day total of 6-over 1,071 left them just two shots behind fourthplace Texas and five behind third-place Stanford. UCLA won the event, While Wu’s sizzling total of 9-under 204 paced the team, several other members also chipped in with solid showings. Senior Bennett Lavin and junior Josh Jamieson each turned in scores of 71-72-73 to tie for 21st place individually. Senior Matthew Negri and freshman Charles Wang finished in a tie for 34th at 6-over.

“As a whole, just a really deep team effort and a good way to head into the offseason,” Inglis said.

The Cats will be off until the Big Ten Match Play Championship in February. tylervandermolen2018@u.northwestern.edu
