Kristof shares stories of global change think that’s one reason I tend to want to pay it forward.” Kristof and his wife, Sheryl WuDunn, recently published “A Path Appears: Transforming Lives, Creating Opportunity,” a book in which they share their experiences with giving back to communities around the world in order to help others become more effective global citizens. The event, which was co-sponsored by six Northwestern organizations, included a Q&A session and a book signing. Janka Pieper, manager of marketing and communications for International Program Development and one of the sponsors of the event, said the turnout was remarkable.

Nicholas Kristof is often asked why many of his columns in The New York Times focus on issues of global engagement. For him, the answer is the story of his father. Kristof ’s father, who was a refugee after World War II, found himself working in a hotel in France. There he met an American woman who was working for the U.S. government. She took a liking to Kristof ’s father and convincewd her parents in Portland, Oregon, to sponsor his travel to the United States. Kristof, a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist at The New York Times, spoke Monday night to about 500 people in Cahn Auditorium, using his father’s story as an example of the impact individual efforts can have. “I sometimes hear the objection that our efforts really can’t solve problems,” he said. “These are problems that are too vast to address. Anything we do is going to be a drop in the bucket, and in a sense, that’s true.” For Kristof ’s father, however,

“I’m just blown away, but that shows how much of an impact he has on us, on our students, on everyone in the community,” she said. Kristof, who has traveled to all 50 states and more than 150 countries, shared stories of ways people across the country have been successful in helping others, mixing in his own perspectives about effective ways to make change. He strongly encouraged NU students to take advantage of study
abroad opportunities, citing his own experience studying in Arabic in Egypt. “I really think just a crucial part of an education is to get out of the classroom in a very different environment in ways that really contest yourself,” he said. Weinberg sophomore Alex Kaldjian said he attended the event because he has grown up reading Kristof ’s columns. He said Kristof ’s message about how to establish connections with others resonated with him. “The way to reach out to people, the way to inspire people is through personal stories and seeing these human connections,” Kaldjian said. “He does an incredible job at putting that together in the way he writes and in the way he speaks.” Kristof concluded the Q&A session by encouraging college students not to limit their efforts to help others. “I don’t think our empathy or compassion should depend upon the color of someone’s skin or the color of their passport,” he said. “Often our efforts can actually have more impact abroad.”
In the aftermath of the 2013 debate about turning the Harley Clarke Mansion into a boutique hotel, a group of Evanston residents continues to call on the city to implement an ordinance prohibiting the private sale of the lakefront and maintaining its availability for public use. Under the name of the Evanston Parks and Lakefront Alliance, community members are asking city officials to establish a lakefront protection ordinance that would codify the city’s 2008 Lakefront Master Plan. The plan acts as a blueprint for any renovation projects that would take place on the lakefront. Although the plan outlines a non-commercial future for the lakefront, the city is not legally obligated to follow the recommendations, EvPLA member Barbara Janes said. Members of EvPLA said they want the lakefront to have a relatively passive use, acting as green space that is not in any way restrictive to any residents. Once the city gives land away to private entities, it can’t be reversed, alliance member Jeanne Lindwall said. EvPLA wants to ensure that the space along the lakefront stays non-commercial, she said.

“If you look up what makes a healthy and vibrant community, open spaces are one of them,” Lindwall said. “In a densely populated community like Evanston, the open space we have is precious … you can’t easily recreate park land.” EvPLA is dedicated to preserving the open space on the lakefront “for you and your kids” and maintaining the presence of public domains “in perpetuity,” member Linda Damashek said. The city’s master plan, approved by council in January 2008, was the result of 18 months’ worth of staff and community input, according to the city’s website. It outlines the city’s efforts to maintain the high quality of the lakefront and make it environmentally-friendly to continue to provide the community “with a range of active and passive recreational opportunities, including beaches, playgrounds, flexible green space, trails, and a range of boating facilities.” “Some cities are more inclined to follow their policies than others,” Lindwall said. “But not so much in Evanston.” One of the objectives in the plan is to evaluate a policy to eliminate commercial use of the lakefront. Last year, City Council members considered a bid from local billionaire Jennifer Pritzker to buy Harley Clarke Mansion for $1.2 million in order to turn it into an upscale hotel. Although the proposal was eventually rejected in July 2013, Evanston residents, including the alliance, voiced their
opposition that the city would consider selling public land that staff said would stay private. Under the name No Park Sale, members of the alliance doled out more than 100 yard signs for Evanston residents to visibly show their support for keeping the land in the hands of the city, Janes said. In the aftermath of the Harley Clarke debate, No Park Sale members first formed the EvPLA to fight for the noncommercialization of the entirety of the lakefront, instead of just land that the mansion takes up, Janes said. With no current pressing issue like that of Harley Clarke, city members are less concerned about meeting with the group and developing an ordinance to protect the lakefront privatization, Janes said. City manager Wally Bobkiewicz said that residents had come to the city about implementing an ordinance. “My sense is Council believes there is no need to adopt an ordinance supporting an action they have already taken,” Bobkiewicz said in an email to The Daily. The alliance wants to also ensure that if the city is to revise any part of the master plan or wants to change the lakefront, officials consult the public for its input, Lindwall said.

He is ranked No. 91 nationally in ESPN’s recruiting rankings and No. 98 in Rivals. At 6-7, Falzon has the size of a big man. But he is also known for his outside shooting abilities.
ESPN’s evaluation of Falzon says his range extends past the NBA 3-point line. With that skill set, Falzon could pose some mismatches in the Big Ten. Falzon chose NU over Harvard, according to reports from Medill junior Luke Srodulski of 247 Sports, who first reported Falzon’s commitment Monday. — Jesse Kramer

Resident honored for circus work By Paige Leskin
daily senior staffer @paigeleskin
The co-founder of an Evanston nonprofit was awarded a $25,000 grant Friday for her work teaching and choreographing circus acts in theatrical productions. Chicago-based 3Arts, an organization that supports female artists, artists of color and artists with disabilities, gave one of its 10 awards of 2014 to Sylvia Hernandez-DiStasi, who helped found The Actors Gymnasium in Evanston. Hernandez-DiStasi’s knowledge in theater and the circus has grown through her experiences as a performer, artist, teacher and choreographer, said Larry DiStasi, her husband and the other founder of the Evanston organization. “She has also, for the past 20 years, been working in theater and discovering new and exciting ways to integrate circus into dramatic theater,� DiStasi said. “She really has developed a unique perspective and ability to make those two different things beautifully work together.� The two formed The Actors Gymnasium with the intent of bringing acrobatics to theater. Housed at the Noyes Cultural Arts Center, 927 Noyes St., the nonprofit has produced and taught physical and circus performance to the community, Evanston youth and Northwestern students since 1995, according to its site. Hernandez-DiStasi grew up touring as a performer with circuses, which included a threeyear stint with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum

Her caliber of work in both positions made her a great candidate for the award, 3Arts Executive Director Esther Grimm said. Hernandez-DiStasi said her circus production made her a unique choice for an award in theater. “It’s actually quite surprising because what I do ‌ it’s kind of an unusual design area that I cover,â€? she said. “The fact that someone nominated me and I won this award is kind of an overwhelming thing for me.â€? The $25,000 that Hernandez-DiStasi received will allow her to continue to develop and hone her skills, she said. She wants to be able to attend more classes and physical theater productions to find inspiration for future routines, she said Hernandez-DiStasi said she also would like to use the money to travel and learn about circus performances outside of the Chicago area. “Chicago is pretty unique as far as physical theater goes,â€? she said. “But then I realize I haven’t really seen that much outside of Chicago.â€? When she was first notified she had won the award, she thought she could use the money to afford to stop taking work that paid well, yet was not as rewarding, Hernandez-DiStasi said. However, she realized she loves all the work she residence in the 700 block of Emerson Street, police said.

On Campus ASG to hold Environmental Day of Service By Emily Chin
the daily northwestern
Associated Student Government is planning its first Environmental Day of Service, a new event that allows students to volunteer at local environmental organizations. The event, which will be held Nov. 15, will involve six different environmental groups. ASG is partnering with Evanston TreeKeepers, the Evanston Environmental Association, The Talking Farm, Endless Greens, the Evanston ReBuilding Warehouse, and Northwestern’s Students for Ecological and Environmental Development. Medill sophomore Christina Cilento, ASG vice president of sustainability, said she hopes about 100 students sign up for the event. Volunteers will be performing tasks such as preparing farms for the winter, removing invasive
Four underage drinking incidents reported on campus over weekend
University Police responded to four incidents of drunkenness in underage students over the weekend.
Across Campuses K-State to expand professional pilot program Kansas State University Salina is partnering with Johnson County Community College and Air Associates of Kansas to offer a professional pilot degree to people in the Kansas City area. The program will launch in the fall of 2015 and allow students to take their flight training from Air Associates in Olathe, general-education classes from Johnson County Community College, additional
species, mulching and doing litter cleanup, Cilento said. “We tried to get a diverse picking of service opportunities so students will see something that will interest them and get more involved,” she said. As an added incentive for students to participate, volunteers will earn points for signing up and attending the event. The points will go toward Green Cup, a month-long competition that promotes sustainability on campus. Students in Greek houses and residence halls gain points in the competition by attending Green Cup events and saving energy and water, said Weinberg sophomore Sara Johns, Green Cup Chair for SEED. Johns said she plans on attending the Environmental Day of Service but hasn’t chosen an organization to volunteer with yet. “I’m really excited for it,” she said. “It really focuses on the environmental service and sustainability, and I

Shortly after 2 a.m. Sunday, UP responded to a call of a drunk student, 19, being physically supported by two other students while walking back to his residence at 1835 Hinman, UP Deputy Chief Dan McAleer said. The student had been staggering and having trouble walking. Police found him lying on the floor of his room vomiting. The student was taken to Evanston Hospital
and referred to the Office of Student Affairs for underage drinking, McAleer said. A residence director in Sargent Hall called UP at about 2:50 a.m. Sunday to report an ill student. UP found the student in a bathroom. He had vomited and told officers he had no idea where he was, McAleer said. The student told police he had drunk at least 10 shots and three cups of “jungle juice.”
The student signed a waiver refusing further medical treatment, McAleer said, and he was referred to Student Affairs. UP also responded to underage drinking incidents early Sunday morning at Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity and McCulloch Hall.
classes online from K-State Salina and graduate with a bachelor of science degree in aeronautical technology-professional pilot. The idea for the program originated after new federal regulations required co-pilots have at least 1,500 hours of flight experience, a substantial increase from the previous 250-hour requirement. However, the new rules required just 1,000 hours if the co-pilot has a four-year degree. The institutions are hosting an informational meeting from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Oct. 18, at Air Associates, 12901 W. 151st Street, in Olathe. During the event, prospective students will be able to meet faculty, see
aircraft from Air Associates and K-State Salina, and hear presentations about the new program. -Michael Strand (The Salina Journal)
Auburn police determined the call was made from a St. Louis-area cellphone and contacted city police, who helped identify a 15-year-old boy who called in the threat. Police said the threat prompted an evacuation of a student union on the Auburn campus. Police searched the building but found nothing suspicious. Police are continuing to investigate the bomb threat but have not yet arrested the teen, said Auburn Capt. Lorenza Dorsey. Police did not identify the teen.

organizing the day of service with Cilento, said the project was inspired by the annual philanthropy event NU Gives Back. Liu said organizers wanted to make the new service day a more local initiative. She said she hopes to allot about 20 volunteer slots per organization. “It’s not hard to get involved with the local Evanston community as a Northwestern student,” she said. Cilento added she hopes students will engage more with environmental communities. “I hope students realize that they don’t have to create a solar-powered car or something to help the cause,” she said. “They can give back in really small ways every day.” Signups will be held from Oct. 19 to Nov. 1, and breakfast and T-shirts will be provided at the event. emilychin2018@u.northwestern.edu

Win or lose, college sports make lasting memories curtis Chou
Daily columnist
Northwestern lost a football game on Saturday. The statement is pretty innocuous: To the larger world, it is objective and factual, devoid of emotion. To the more acute followers of college football, it is a result that plagued half the teams that played games on the second weekend of this October. Inevitably there will be bumps in the road during a football season. The losses will mount one by one, little by little, but hopefully not too many weeks in a row. But the dream of a successful season, though perhaps tarnished, is not over. NU is 2-1 in the Big Ten and very much on the hunt for the West division title. So it is not too bad, right? But instead of these thoughts going through my head in the minutes following NU’s loss to Minnesota, I sat silently on the couch stewing in utter misery. And ironically, that is the beauty of sports. They have the capacity to taunt and the capacity to calm. They have the tendency to induce perspiration and the tendency to evoke exhilaration. They are the most unpredictable form of theater, which means that they lose their shine if not seen in real time. They are balms for life’s troubles and social arenas for community. They are worlds unto themselves, yet they are so intricately tied to
the society they operate in. True, there are many who lament the fascinating hold that the American sports industry has over its citizens. And in some respects, they are not wrong. Fandom is irrational and can lead to a psychopathological obsession with sports teams or celebrity athletes. Irrationality distorts social, economic and political priorities. The exclusivity of the team culture and the commitment to winning fosters a dangerous environment where the players’ performance on the field trumps their performance off the field. The “team” becomes so important that anything that jeopardizes its integrity is viewed as an antagonist. A spate of incidents serves as ammunition against the proliferation of sports idolization: Ray Rice, Steubenville, Jameis Winston — just to name a few in football, the most obsessive and violent of mainstream sports. But to many people, sports mean so much more. They are reasons to get together as a community and stand behind a common goal, no matter how silly that goal might seem to others. And for colleges and universities, where the people who work and play come from all walks of life and from across the vast landscape of the country, there is nothing as unifying as cheering on their college team. There is nothing as exciting and as euphoric as screaming at the top of your lungs for three hours at a college football game while chatting and high-fiving fellow students whom you’ve never met before.
There are very few events throughout the course of an academic year that can bring a few hundred, let alone a few thousand students together, and college sporting events give that opportunity every single week, if not every single day. But even more so, sports create iconic moments etched into memory. They are shared by a nation, which for a moment can admire an act of physical achievement imbued with the wonder of chance and timing On a that leads to sporting personal level, magic. On a personal sports are a level, sports are a connection connection to a time past — they are bread to a time past crumbs to where you — they are come from. For me, bread crumbs they harken to early spring days on the to where you tennis court with my come from. father. The wind is still bitter, and I can see my breath in the air. Fast forward past the summer months, as the temperature dips toward freezing again and the snow falls like flour from the sky, and I remember the grandeur of old Yankee Stadium and the roar of bombers baseball. I know that years down the road when NU’s campus has been rendered too different for me to remember, I will think back and cherish the cold winter nights when I have taken

refuge in the humid caverns of Welsh-Ryan Arena. I will think back to the mystical atmosphere that surrounded the NU baseball game against Michigan at Wrigley Field. And I will never forget the feeling of standing in the bleachers of Ryan Field among a thousand peers wrapped tightly in 15 degree weather, the warm comfort of hot chocolate in my gloved hands. The storylines in sports can often feel like a microcosm of life. They can certainly be a distraction from the stresses of life. Sports can never replace life, but without a doubt, they can enrich it. NU isn’t a school that sells itself by showcasing its sports program, and I honestly did not care much for college athletics before I came to NU. But after living and dying with the fortunes of NU’s 2011-12 men’s basketball team, I knew I was in love with the school. There is something magical about sports that ignites a passionate fervor for the place you come from. It is my connection to my home, my high school and now my university. That is why, despite my moping after the Minnesota loss, I will be the first in line at the gate for NU’s homecoming football game against Nebraska because I know that the game, the lights, the sounds — they are all parts of a memory.

Anonymity, security are distinct while intertwined lucas matney
Daily columnist
In an interview Sunday on “60 Minutes,” FBI Director James Comey attacked Apple’s most recent iPhone software security improvement as a development that would protect pedophiles and kidnappers from prosecution. His concerns regard the method in which Apple’s iOS 8 software encrypts user data from end to end, a strategy that will secure user data from hackers but will also stop — or at least hamper — law enforcement officials with a court warrant from being able to seek out the data on the device. Comey insisted that the security will “put people beyond the law” and urged Apple to make changes to the update. The issue, which arose just days after Snapchat was hacked and over 200,000 photos were leaked, is just the latest concern in a number of cases questioning the online relationship of anonymity
“
Security standards that allow the government to access certain bits of data do undoubtedly disarm some very dangerous situations. and security. Being able to speak freely without being identified has long been a staple freedom of the Internet, though in a new age of invasive government surveillance, corporate data-collecting and a slew of ever-connected devices, anonymity may no longer be a very reasonable expectation to have. There are few easy answers in this debate. Although it’s convenient to vilify the government for overreaching its bounds or spying unnecessarily on civilians, the security standards that allow the government to access certain bits of data do undoubtedly disarm some very dangerous
situations. On Sunday, a student at Penn State was arrested after posting a message on Yik Yak, a localized anonymous social network, that he was going to “kill everyone” on campus. The safeguards which Yik Yak has in place allowed users to quickly report the post and bring it to the company’s attention while subsequently enabling law enforcement to gain access to the registered phone number of the specific user and track him down. A the government’s efforts may have enabled us to feel physically safer, they have also opened us up to being more easily harmed online. For years the government has relied on finding or establishing “back doors” in companies’ software products that allow federal agencies to easily access sensitive information without jumping through hoops. Yet as hackers’ efforts have continued to grow more sophisticated, these unpatched security holes are being exploited, putting the site’s users at risk for continued data leaks that compromise their personal and financial information. These developments have angered tech companies that are already on their heels following Snowden’s cyber
surveillance revelations and his accusations of the tech companies’ complicity. How Apple responds to the government’s latest criticism will serve as a significant indicator of the rest of the tech community’s resolve for this issue. Google has already pledged to implement similar measures in Android phones, and others may follow soon with efforts to beef up security in the future. Increased efforts from tech companies to isolate user information will have major implications for online security, yet absolute privacy of data on the macro level has the potential to compromise individual security in certain situations. While anonymity on the web is often touted as a clear and fundamental right to individual users, it’s important to remember that like the code and algorithms that define the Internet, sometimes the true definition of security can be hard to interpret.

But whether “A to Z” is more similar to “500 Days of Summer” or “How I Met Your Mother” isn’t what makes the show so relevant. What’s more relevant is Andrew’s job: working at the fictional online dating service Wallflower. This last week’s episode featured Wallflower trying out its new Tinder-like application. The only difference was that you press instead of swipe. This episode comes on the heels of an episode of “New Girl” about another fictional, Tinderlike application called “Dice.” By the end of the episode, Jess tries to convince Schmidt that he should use the application for more than just hooking up. He should try to actually get to know the other person — in other words, date! Unfortunately when Schmidt asks the girl he just slept with to grab a cup of coffee, she responds, “I don’t think you understand Dice.” Maybe TV is just imitating real life. I used to
think people in college and in their early 20s and 30s still dated. But now I’m beginning to think that maybe dating is dead … particularly on college campuses. At the end of September, the latest in online dating technology came to Northwestern. The app? Friendsy. The purpose? Well, the App Store says, “Friendsy is a college-based social network designed to give students a secure way to become more connected while spreading happiness across campuses.” I had my roommate — my official dating technology go-to girl — test out this new app. Sure, it supposedly promotes more than “hooking up,” although that is one of the options. But the majority of the anonymous “compliments” posted suggests that “hooking up” is the primary goal for NU students on this new application. The saddest part? My roommate quickly deleted her profile on the application, yearning for the simplicity of Tinder. After all, at a school full of students as busy as those at NU, who has time for more than a split-second judgment? For that matter, who has time for an actual relationship? But then there are people like me. After a two-year relationship and passing through that inevitable rebound stage of a breakup, I’m ready to start dating. What online options are open to me? More importantly, do I have any choices besides the slew of never-ending online dating applications? Even if I manage to wrangle a date
— not a hook-up — I am completely clueless as to the rules. Do we go Dutch or does the boy pay? Is the three-day rule still in existence? And what about those inevitable, awkward moments at the end of the date? Studying abroad in Russia, I managed to figure out the country’s own dating realities. In Russia, a country that is always about 20 years behind the rest of the Western world, it is still perfectly acceptable for a boy to think you are cute, chat you up in the metro or a cafe, ask for your number and then take you out for a good old-fashioned dinner and a movie. That seems a lot more appealing than the alternative: sifting through hundreds of electronic profiles. Despite the thoroughly disappointing ending, the “How I Met Your Mother” fans followed the trials and tribulations of Ted Mosby because he was the quintessential old-fashioned romantic. We wanted him to find his soul mate, especially after he went on date, after date, after date with the wrong women. Sure, dating was a tireless, seemingly never-ending task — the show did last for nine seasons — but don’t the ends justify the means? Maybe it’s time all college students got a little bit old-fashioned. Blair Dunbar is a Weinberg senior. She can be reached at blairdunbar2015@u.northwestern.edu.

Evanston aldermen vote to revise tobacco proposal By stephanie kelly
the daily northwestern @StephanieKellyM
City Council amended Monday a proposal to increase the legal age from 18 to 21 for selling and purchasing tobacco and liquid nicotine products. The amendment took out an original provision that said possession would also be illegal for anyone under 21. After the Human Services Committee recommended approval last week, an ordinance amending the City Code to increase the age from 18 to 21 for the sale, purchase and possession of tobacco or liquid nicotine products was introduced to council. Council is scheduled to vote on the ordinance in two weeks. Ald. Ann Rainey (8th) moved to amend the proposal to remove the provision regarding possession. Some of the aldermen said they were concerned about teenagers who were already addicted to the drug. Ald. Donald Wilson (4th) said he supports increasing the age of the sale and purchase but not of possession. “The problem I have with this is the idea that it does essentially criminalize something that’s legal across the border as far as possession and use of the products,” Wilson said. “If someone is unfortunate enough to have already started smoking and become addicted to these products, we’re imposing a $200 to $500 fine on possessing and using them, and I’m not comfortable with that.” Ald. Mark Tendam (6th) said he also agreed with a similar type of ban, saying that taking the drug away and criminalizing it seems harsh. There are fines in Evanston for possession of certain amounts of marijuana that
Thin-crust pizza place to join many others coming to Evanston
An Evanston subcommittee voted last week to recommend approval to City Council for a new thin-crust pizza place, which if approved would join multiple other pizza restaurants planning to open in the city in the upcoming months. The Zoning Board of Appeals voted Oct. 7 to approve 800 Degrees Neapolitan Pizza, a California-based pizza chain looking to open at 812 Church St., formally home to retail store Untitled. 800 Degrees uses fresh ingredients to create a Neapolitan style thin-crust

aren’t as high as the proposed fines, he said. “We’ve told these young people for years now that they can use at age 18, and we know it’s a very addictive drug,” Tendam said. “If they
are addicted to this drug, they will use it.” Rainey’s motion to amend the proposal passed, with Ald. Jane Grover (7th) and Ald. Delores Holmes (5th) dissenting.
pizza, according to its site. Many factors go into the decision to grant business permits, said Johanna Nyden, the city’s economic development division manager. “There’s traffic, there’s trash, there’s hours of operation,” Nyden said. “We want to make sure our commercial districts are vibrant and enhance everything around them.” 800 Degrees would be one of many new pizza places coming to Evanston. It would join Blaze Pizza, which plans to open in January, as well as Bake 425, according to an article from Crain’s Chicago Business. Bake 425 is looking to open on Central Street in November, and will be replacing HomeMade Pizza Co. restaurant, according to the article.
The city puts in more thought when deciding whether to allow so many of the same type of businesses to open, said Meagan Jones, the city’s economic development specialist. “We do actually put some thought to the fact that are a number of different pizza places opening up,” Jones said. “What has been working in a lot of the businesses’ favors is that they aren’t all the typical Pizza Hut or Domino’s. They have their own concept.” Evanston is already home to a wide variety of pizza chains that make various kinds of pizza, from thin-crust to Chicago-style deep dish. “We do want to take into consideration that there will be some competition amongst the businesses, and we don’t want the businesses
Both Wilson and Holmes brought up the idea for a complete ban of all tobacco products. Holmes said Evanston should be like CVS, a company that recently ended the sale of tobacco products in its stores. Evanston would be the first city in the country to do that, she said. Aldermen took no steps to initiate such a ban on Monday. Grover said she hopes that with the new amendment, the proposal will pass. She said 16-year-olds don’t usually obtain cigarettes from illegally purchasing them; they get them from the 18-year-olds they go to school with. “I’m looking at removing cigarettes from the high school pretty much altogether and just putting them out of reach of our young cohorts who, as the doctors told us tonight, are so vulnerable to tobacco addiction at an early, formative age,” Grover said. Council also voted unanimously Monday night to approve a contract with Leathers & Associates for the reconstruction of Penny Park. Penny Park, located at the intersection of Lake Street and Ashland Avenue, will undergo renovation because of the deterioration of its equipment and its noncompliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. During public comment, some citizens voiced concerns about the amount of community input that will go into the project and the preservation of the original 23-year-old park. Ald. Peter Braithwaite (2nd) said this is just the beginning of the project, and there will be plenty of opportunities for community input. stephaniekelly2017@u.northwestern.edu to cannibalize each other,” Jones said. Nyden said pizza is a widely desired dish because it can be both healthy and fast. “I think that people want something that’s quick, something they can take home and bake and have healthy and fresh ingredients on their pizzas,” she said. She added that the wide range of pizza options in Evanston contributes to the appeal of the businesses. “I think it’s hard to weigh in why people make business decisions, but pizza is hot,” Nyden said. “People love pizza. There is every type of pizza desired in Evanston, Illinois. There is a range there for what people want.” — Marissa Mizroch

Northwestern flew home from the United States Fencing Association North American Cup in Portland, Oregon, this weekend without much to celebrate; the Wildcats’ top finisher placed 26th. “While we didn’t have any spectacular results, we had solid fencing,” coach Laurie Schiller said. “And I don’t think the results necessarily, if you’re looking at them, reflect as well as they might in terms of what we actually did.” Schiller said there were some solid bouts from his fencers that aren’t represented in the box score. “Sometimes you lose bouts against stronger fencers,” he said. “One of our epeeists came up against one of the Olympians from the last cycle, and she fenced a good bout against her. But she lost, so she gets knocked out at that point.” “That’s a tough person to have in your bracket,” he continued. “This tournament, a Division I tournament, is the highest level tournament for USA Fencing, so I feel like there was lots of good fencing that didn’t necessarily get reflected in the fact that we won or we lost that particular bout.” The event kicked off Friday with the Division I women’s sabre event. Sophomores Cindy Oh and Julia Abelsky led NU with 26th and 42nd-place finishes, respectively, in a field of 103. Behind them sat freshmen Emine Yucel at 49 and Sacha Bazzal at 78. The action continued Saturday with Division I women’s epee. Junior Kaitlyn Wallace placed 32nd of 150 fencers, while sophomore Mandeep Bhinder landed 86th, freshman Katie Van Riper tied for 137th and junior Helen Foster tied for 147th. Lastly was the Division I foil competition
Sunday. The top Cats finishers in the 121person event were junior Charlotte Sands at 28, freshman Kaila Budofsky at 42 and sophomore Stephanie Chan right behind her at 43. Schiller said the Cats view this tournament as a “stepping stone” for the regular season and that tournaments this early always function as a preseason for his team. “We’re a little rusty around the edges on some things,” he said. “We can do a little better job controlling and making our actions sometimes simpler and sometimes a little bit more complex depending on the situation.” In fact, We got kids fencing into some high level isn’t so competition, and differwe got to see all the ent from another freshmen fence against sport that competition and preparperform. ing to start its Laurie Schiller, season. coach “It’s kind of like preseason basketball,” Schiller said. “You run through the plays, and some of them you’re able to work in.” Schiller said he still has some choices to make about who will start what matches. He said he has not made any decisions yet and that he still has time to figure that out. His primary goal for this tournament was collecting data. “The tournament served its purpose,” he said. “We got kids into some high level competition, and we got to see all the freshmen fence against that competition and perform. For where we are in the season, it was a good weekend.”

Cats come in 6th at rain-shortened tournament By TYLER VANDERMOLEN

WU, THERE IT IS Dylan Wu continued his strong freshman season at the Rod Myers Invitational last weekend. Wu led the team with a 2-over 146 and tied at 23rd individually at the event.
For the second week in a row Northwestern was forced to battle taxing weather conditions and a slow start, this time rallying to pick up a sixthplace finish at the Rod Myers Invitational in Durham, North Carolina. Originally scheduled as a 54-hole event, the tournament was shortened to 36 holes when lightning forced the suspension of the second round on Saturday. Weather threatened to halt play Sunday as well, but an early start allowed the event to finish before the worst of the storm rolled through. “It was a bit strange because we were pulled off the course in bright sunshine,” coach David Inglis said. “We ended up sitting around by the clubhouse for a while before we got the all-clear. Then right as we were heading back out there was another lightning strike.” After posting a first round score of 7-over 295 that left them in a tie for ninth with Iowa, NU came out hot to start its second round prior to the suspension of play, quickly moving
into seventh place, where it remained overnight. “It’s a little bit of a shame the suspension came when it did, because we had just started to play well and make up some ground after our slow start,” Inglis said. When play resumed Sunday morning, the Cats again slipped down the leaderboard in the early going. As NU had the previous day, however, the team managed to claw its way back, using a late flurry of birdies to finish with a 5-over 293 on a cold and wet day that limited scoring opportunities. The team has been forced to rally late following slow starts in each of its three tournaments this year, an issue that Inglis said will likely be a point of emphasis in the coming weeks. “We’ll just have to do our best to figure out what the problem has been so far this year,” he said. “We’ll probably try to find a way to simulate some pressure situations before we play again in a few weeks.” Despite the Cats’ early-round struggles, Inglis has been impressed with the way his squad has consistently been able to bounce back and regain traction. “It says a lot about their resolve and
their pride,” he said. “This is a group that fights until the very end, and that’s important when these tournaments come down to just one or two shots.” The Cats’ sixth-place finish put them in the top half of the 12-team field and also made them the tournament’s top Big Ten finisher, with both Iowa and Michigan State four shots back in a tie for seventh. East Carolina won the event by posting a 15-under 561, followed by North Carolina with an 8-under 568 and Baylor with a 6-under 570. Freshman Dylan Wu continued his streak of strong performances, leading NU with a tournament total of 2-over 146. Wu was the lone Cats player to card a round in red figures on the weekend with a Sunday 71 (-1), earning him a tie for 23rd place individually. Seniors Matthew Negri and Bennett Lavin also chipped in with solid weekends, tying for 27th and 33rd respectively and playing key roles in the team’s late rally. NU will have several weeks off before returning to action Nov. 3-5 in San Martin, California for the Gifford Intercollegiate. tylervandermolen2018@u.northwestern.edu
Jackson wins award, Fitzgerald alters depth chart By BOBBY PILLOTE
daily senior staffer @BobbyPillote
For the third consecutive week, a Northwestern player was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week. This time it was running back Justin Jackson, who impressed last week against Minnesota by rushing 23 times for 106 yards and also catching four passes for 50 yards. The contest was the second in which Jackson surpassed 100 yards on the ground. “It’s pretty special to have him in the backfield,” senior left tackle Paul Jorgensen said Monday. “He’s a great player, and I’m really proud of him.” Previous winners of the award for the Wildcats are linebacker Anthony Walker and safety Godwin Igwebuike, each of whom earned the recognition after making his first career start. Big Red comes to town Looking ahead to NU’s Homecoming game Saturday, coach Pat Fitzgerald spoke highly of upcoming opponent Nebraska at his weekly news conference Monday. The No. 19 Cornhuskers are expected to pose a stiff challenge, having had a bye week to prepare for this matchup after falling just short against then-No. 10
Michigan State in their last game. “They played outstanding against Michigan State,” Fitzgerald said. “Maybe one more minute and that game goes the other way.” Nebraska and NU have a backand-forth history in their past three meetings, with the Cats upsetting the then-No. 9 Cornhuskers on the road in 2011 before Nebraska won the next two in 2012 and 2013 in dramatic, come-from-behind fashion. “I’m excited to play these guys,” senior defensive tackle Chance Carter said. “These last three games have been really close. Adding to the buzz, Northwestern Wildside announced Monday the organization of a student section blackout to match the team’s all-black “gothic” Homecoming jerseys, which were revealed last week. But in Nebraska’s Ameer Abdullah, Carter and the rest of the Cats defense will again face one of the nation’s best running backs after back-to-back weeks battling Wisconsin’s Melvin Gordon and Minnesota’s David Cobb. Abdullah is currently second in the Big Ten in carries with 138 and is third in yards and touchdowns with 878 and 10, respectively. “Different week and a different

stud,” Fitzgerald said. “It’s a great challenge again for our defense.” That’s a hurdle they’ll have to leap without starting middle linebacker Collin Ellis. The senior was ruled
out for this week with a concussion, his second of the season, and will be replaced in the lineup by Walker. “I’m going to prepare the same way I did … against Penn State,” Walker
said. “I’m going to help the team any way I can.” Depth chart shuffle Elsewhere on the defense, senior safety Ibraheim Campbell is expected to return to his starting role this week, relieving Igwebuike. Junior defensive end Deonte Gibson and Carter have ceded their starting spots on the depth chart to juniors Max Chapman and C.J. Robbins, respectively, which Fitzgerald said was just part of the normal defensive line rotation. Finally, there may be some controversy brewing at punter, where redshirt freshman kicker Hunter Niswander is now listed next to usual starter Chris Gradone. “We’re last in punting in the Big Ten,” Fitzgerald said. “It’s a little misleading because (Gradone) has been pretty good at getting them down inside the 20 … but you can’t have an 11-yard punt in crunch time.” Fitzgerald made a similar switch last year after former punter Brandon Williams had a disastrous 8-yard punt against Michigan. He said Gradone had won the job up until now but that his status as the starter could certainly change in the coming weeks. robertpillote2017@u.northwestern.edu

No. 8 Northwestern (10-4) went 1-1 this weekend in Michigan, trouncing Central Michigan (4-9) 4-0 Sunday morning after a tight 2-1 loss to No. 7 Stanford (14-1) on Friday. NU’s loss to Stanford, played at neutralsite Ocker Field in Ann Arbor, Michigan, ended the Wildcats’ six-game winning streak. Junior Caroline Troncelliti scored her
4 0
ninth goal of the season off a pass from redshirt senior Kelsey Thompson 3:30 into the game, giving the Cats an early lead. Troncelliti is now tied with sophomore Isabel Flens for the team high in goals. “Kelsey had it around the end line, taking it through some defenders and passing it out in front of the net,” Troncelliti said. “I was just right there to tip it in.” Stanford responded less than six minutes later, when Hannah Thiemann scored off a penalty corner at 9:15. Maddie Secco and Kelsey Harbin assisted the goal.
The score remained even throughout the rest of the half as the two top-10 defenses held off the offensives. “It was such a back and forth game,” coach Tracey Fuchs said. “You know when No. 7 and No. 8 play that it’s going to be a close game.” Twelve minutes into the second half, the Cats looked to pull ahead after earning their second corner of the period. However, Stanford goalkeeper Dulcie Davies, who leads the nation in save percentage (.849), held off consecutive shots by juniors Lena Phillips and Lisa McCarthy. Senior goalkeeper Maddy Carpenter made a save in the 54th minute and the NU defense held off consecutive Cardinal penalty corners to keep the score notched at 1-1. Stanford took the lead with 7:18 remaining when Secco scored
unassisted. Although a yellow card with two minutes remaining put the Cats down a player, NU pulled Carpenter out of the goal and continued to press. Their aggressive offense paid off when they earned a penalty corner with over a minute remaining, but Davies saved a shot from Flens and Stanford held on to win. “It could have gone either way,” Fuchs said. “The great thing about this team is our ability to bounce back.” And bounce back they did. Junior Kelley Stump recorded a hat trick to lead the Cats to a 4-0 victory over the Central Michigan Chippewas on Sunday. “We knew that (it) was a game we needed to win,” Stump said. Stump tallied her first goal of the game with 4:25 left in the first half to give the Cats a 1-0 lead heading into halftime. “We had a little bit of a slow start,”
Fuchs said, “But we were able to come out aggressively in the second half.” McCarthy started the half off by scoring off a rebound 1:56 into the period. Stump brought the Cats’ lead to 3-0 at 51:41 before completing her hat trick off a pass from sophomore Dominique Masters. The score remained 4-0 until time expired. The Cats’ aggressive play was clearly evident, as they had 29 shots and earned 19 corners. “They’re a tough team and we had to put in a lot of effort,” Troncelliti said. “We had nice team play, passing and working really well together.” The Cats hope to continue their cohesive play as they face Big Ten opponents Michigan and Michigan State this weekend. clairehansen2018@u.northwestern.edu
