Residents visit completed renovation of affordable housing unit in 2nd Ward By Stephanie Kelly

the daily northwestern @StephanieKellyM

A local nonprofit completed the rehabilitation of an affordable housing unit in the 2nd Ward and held an open house Wednesday to mark the occasion. The house, at 1409 Darrow Ave., is the first in a series of 12 units in Evanston that will be renovated by Community Partners for Affordable Housing, an organization that develops houses to rent or sell to low- and moderate-income families. The organization plans to finish the majority of them by this spring, CPAH executive director Rob Anthony said. “It really creates stability for those families to know that they have secure housing and safe housing,” Anthony said. “It’s an opportunity for people to rebuild their lives.” In May 2013, City Council voted to set aside federal funds for CPAH to renovate two affordable housing units in the 2nd Ward. To purchase and remodel the units, aldermen put aside $277,685 in federal HOME funds for CPAH from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Anthony said. The Evanston Community Foundation also donated $10,000 toward the two units, he said. Due to the money from both council and ECF, CPAH was able to acquire a $1.5 million grant through the Illinois attorney general’s office, Anthony said. He said they were able to leverage the money from local sources to get the grant. “Without this local commitment, we wouldn’t be able to access larger grants,” Anthony said. With the grant from the attorney general’s office, CPAH was able to

increase its original plan from two housing units to twelve. Rehabilitation recently began at a second house at 1324 Hartrey Ave., which should be completed by the end of the year, Anthony said. CPAH will also acquire a five-unit building in the next week or so on Washington Street, as well as a spot at 1800 Greenleaf St., he said. There should be leftover funds to rehabilitate four additional units, he said. Most of the units that will be renovated are located in the 2nd ward. “(The renovations) help take properties around the ward that were distressed and boarded up in some situations,” Ald. Peter Braithwaite (2nd) said. CPAH has renovated about 60 total houses in Evanston, Highland Park and Lake Forest, Anthony said. The Darrow Street home will most likely be rented to a family sometime in the next two months and will go for about $900 to $950 per month, Anthony said. Renovation on the house finished in October, said Pete Eason, the general contractor for the house. Eason, a contractor with Priority Management Services, said it was a challenging project with work needing to be done on many parts of the house, including new plumbing, wall insulation and new dry wall. Working with CPAH was a great experience, Eason said. “They’re very good people to work for,” he said. Anthony said the house will be wonderful for a local family. “It’s a house that would have sat here wasting away for a long time, and we were able to turn it around into this beautiful home for someone that will rent it out for affordable prices,” Anthony said. stephaniekelly2017@u.northwestern.edu

City approves construction of Taco Diablo, Lulu’s The city approved a permit Wednesday that will allow construction to begin at the space where Evanston residents plan to reopen Taco Diablo and Lulu’s, two restaurants which closed in the last 12 months. With the approval, co-owners Daniel

Kelch and Marty Cless can raze the existing building on the plot, 1026 Davis St., and construct a two-story building for the two restaurants to reside. Architect John Myefski submitted his plans for final review on behalf of the owners to the Design and Project Review Committee, formerly known as the Site Plan and Appearance Review Committee.The owners anticipate opening both restaurants in June 2015, but the date could be delayed depending on the severity of the winter weather, Kelch told The Daily in September.

McCormick senior Camaria Lehman took a medical leave of absence from Northwestern for mental illness in her junior year, but all of her

friends thought it was because of physical illness. Lehman told an audience Wednesday during the fourth annual STIGMA panel that she has attempted suicide five times. The panel, hosted by NU Active Minds, was moderated by psychology Prof. Robin Nusslock and featured

four NU students who have been affected by mental illnesses. They shared their personal stories, then answered questions from the audience of more than 30 people in Harris Hall. » See STIGMA, page 11

ASG discusses Ebola crisis By Oliva Exstrum

daily senior staffer @olivesocean

Representatives from various student groups presented a proposal Wednesday asking that Associated Student Government recommend to Northwestern that NU-affiliated health personnel continue to receive salary and benefits even if they choose to work in West Africa to assist with the Ebola crisis. “The impetus for the bill came from the acknowledgement that universities have remained silent as Ebola continues to devastate countries in West Africa,” Weinberg senior Michael Miller said. “It just seemed a little strange no one was stepping up and addressing it.” In addition to continuing salary and benefits, the bill emphasizes the need for clear University support Both Taco Diablo and Lulu’s closed last academic year. Mexican restaurant Taco Diablo, once housed at 1029 Davis St., was destroyed in an early morning fire in December 2013 that also caused two other businesses to shut down. It took multiple local fire departments about four hours to put out the fire. No one was seriously injured during the incident. Lulu’s shuttered in February. The restaurant, which served Dim Sum and other Asian food, was profitable but was running on “cruise control,” Kelch said. The restaurants in the new space will

and continued quality coverage and care of patients whose healthcare providers choose to go abroad. Miller said although it is unlikely many healthcare professionals will choose to go abroad, it makes a “strong statement” from the University to support those who do. During the meeting, ASG executive vice president Erik Zorn also outlined the application and selection process for the student engagement stipend, a need-based fund approved last spring intended to support students in leadership positions. The Weinberg senior said the committee, approved in October, will evaluate applications from a “need-blind perspective.” The group will look at the applications and then create a ranked list of candidates for the $500 stipends. The Center for Student Involvement will then give students a score based on their financial need, and will use have menus and appearances similar to those at the old locations, although Lulu’s will have a design upgrade, Kelch told The Daily in September. “We’ve been here for a long time, so we’re members of this community,” he said in September. “Our first desire was always to stay in downtown Evanston, where we’ve always been.” The floor plans for the building also include additional room on the ground floor for retail space, Mark Muenzer, the city’s director of community and economic development, told The Daily

both the committee’s list and the financial scores to choose stipend recipients. Zorn said if students participate in work-study, the stipend won’t affect their financial aid package. However, if students make a substantial income outside of workstudy, their aid may be slightly affected if awarded a stipend. Communication junior Amanda Walsh, president of the NU’s chapter of Quest Scholars, also spoke at the meeting about the group’s history, programming and future goals, including listing textbook prices on CAESAR. Walsh also discussed the Advocacy Committee, which kicked off in October. “The bulk of what the Advocacy Committee does is to work with administrators and student leaders to make sure we have a supportive » See Senate, page 11 in June. The building’s second floor will have a bar concept where food is also served, Kelch said. The new building will replace the one that once housed Tom Thumb Hobby & Crafts, which plans to open at a new location in Niles, Illinois in midNovember, according to its website. The new plot is located across the street from Taco Diablo’s original location on Davis Street, about a block from the Davis Street CTA station. — Paige Leskin

Around Town ETHS students shadow NU graduates By Tyler Pager

daily senior staffer @tylerpager

Thirty Evanston Township High School students spent Tuesday at Northwestern shadowing more than 20 NU graduate students, exploring science and engineering outside of the classroom. Kristen Perkins, the NU/ETHS partnership coordinator, said the day gave the high school students the opportunity to see science research firsthand. “They got to shadow with them doing whatever it is that the student does during the day, so working in the lab, doing computational research, sometimes going to classes with them, going to lab meetings, things like that,” Perkins said. Perkins said NU hosted two similar events last year, but both on a smaller scale. The Science and Engineering Shadow Day on Tuesday was the first time the program was open to all ETHS students. She said there was a “tremendous amount”

Nick Thornburg, a third-year graduate student, led students on a tour and said they were interested to see the infrastructure of the different labs. “For their sake, it was interesting to see chemistry right in front of their eyes,” he said. “For the most part, these guys have mostly seen science on a chalkboard. I think it was really exciting for them to really get a good visual.” Perkins said she tried her best to pair ETHS students with graduate students who were studying topics they were interested in.

Police Blotter Homeless man grabs woman’s arm Friday An Evanston woman reported to police that a homeless man grabbed her arm Friday as she passed him on the street, authorities said. The 55-year-old woman was walking in the 1300 block of Sherman Avenue sometime after 1 p.m. on Friday when a homeless man grabbed her arm, Evanston police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said. The woman responded by striking the man in the nose with a soda bottle, causing him to release his hold on her, Parrott said. The incident occurred near the CTA station at Dempster Street. The 55-year-old left the scene and called police to report the incident, Parrott said.

Evanston man charged with the unlawful use of a weapon Police arrested a man Sunday in connection with the unlawful use of a weapon after a knife was found in his car during a traffic stop, officials said. Officers pulled over the car that the 35-yearold was driving in Chicago for a minor traffic violation, Parrott said. During the stop, police located a knife in the car that appeared dangerous, he said. The Evanston man was arrested around 4 p.m. in Chicago in connection with several misdemeanors, including the possession of a knife with the intent to use it dangerously, Parrott said.

So it wasn’t his first time, but he seemed to have felt that this was the most rewarding.” Saoirse McSharry, a second-year graduate student, was paired with an ETHS freshman for the morning. She said she gave him a tour of Silverman Hall and Pancoe Hall and then took him to the lab she works in. McSharry said she explained her research to him and also took him to some of her friends’ labs that matched with his other interests. “I thought it was a wonderful opportunity for both of us,” she said. “I’ve always been interested in doing high school mentorship, so it was a great experience for me.

Setting the record straight In Wednesday’s print edition, the story “Art center discusses moving process” misstated the date when the Evanston Arts Center closed on the purchase due to an editing error. The center closed on the purchase on Nov. 3. In the article titled “Council discusses library tax, animal shelter” in Tuesday’s print edition the article misspelled Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl’s name due to an editing error. The Daily regrets the errors.

Students produce play on alcohol, hookup culture By MADELINE FOX

the daily northwestern @MadelineFox

Northwestern students this weekend will bring drinking, partying and sex to a fraternity house — in the form of a play. Communication junior Russell Kahn, producer of “White Girl Wasted,” which opens Thursday at the Zeta Beta Tau house, doesn’t want the show to be misinterpreted. The play, which follows three high school students and one college sophomore throughout the course of a year, deals with relationships, sex and the role of alcohol in both. “We’re doing a show called ‘White Girl Wasted’ about drinking and partying in a frat house,” Kahn said, “so we wanted to make sure people don’t come here and make the mistake of thinking this is glorifying senseless drinking.” Discussions hosted by Sexual Health and Assault Peer Educators will follow several of the performances, which run this weekend and next weekend. Kahn said he felt it was important to have a facilitated discussion to allow audience members to debrief the complex themes of the show, so he reached out to SHAPE. “We brought in SHAPE to look at scenes in the play and analyze how characters deal with the gray area of consent when you’re drunk because they have so much experience both creating dialogues about those issues on campus and also seeing them

take place,” he said. Russell and director Anjali Nath chose the fraternity house setting to make the story more immediate for viewers, Nath said. “I felt that putting it in a theater or trying to find a theater space would forcibly distance it from the audience too much,” said Nath, a Communication junior. “We settled on doing it in ZBT, Russell’s fraternity,

because it allowed for a much more intimate connection to the characters and to their stories.” Grace Gabel, events marketing chair for SHAPE, said performing the play in ZBT also connects the show to the larger issue of party culture on campus. “I think it’s really exciting to have this conversation happening in a place where then, later that night

campus. The university installed the roughly 80 phones — often called “blue lights” because of the bright blue lights that illuminate them — in the mid-1990s, when cell phones still were relatively rare. They were put in place so that passersby could report crimes in progress, suspicious persons, medical emergencies or other concerns about personal safety. When someone pushes the “call” button on one

of the phones, an alarm is activated in the CU Police Department’s communication center, and dispatchers try to gather more information. Police officers respond regardless of whether dispatchers speak to anyone. But now, most students on campus walk to class with their heads bowed, checking email, texting or sending Snapchats with their smartphones. Most students can now call 911 wherever they are, on campus or off.

or next weekend, someone might be at a party or hooking up with someone or in a place that looks the same,” Gabel, a Communication senior, said. “By coming to see this performance, it really gets people thinking about how they relate to these characters.” Although most of the characters are in high school, Kahn said issues brought up in the play, such as sexual assault, unhealthy relationships, and drinking and party culture, will resonate with NU students. “Because I think a lot of people at Northwestern, like the characters in this play, do come from privileged backgrounds and we’re all pretty intelligent, people could make the mistake of saying that we don’t make stupid mistakes when it comes to alcohol,” Kahn said. “But we still do, and that’s why I think ‘White Girl Wasted’ needs to be shown here.” Gabel said she hopes “White Girl Wasted” will open up more dialogue on campus about sexual assault, unhealthy relationships and consent by giving students the tools to talk about them. “I don’t think we always have the right language to talk about hooking up or dating culture or even our feelings, and so I think this is a really exciting play to have at NU because it’s starting a dialogue that isn’t always created,” she said. “By coming to see this performance, it really gets people thinking about how they relate to these characters and makes them reflect upon their own lives.” mfox17@u.northwestern.edu “We want most of the blue lights on campus to be gone,” said Tyler Romero, director of health and safety for the CU Student Government. “The blue light system is extremely inefficient. It costs a lot of money. All the blue lights do is call dispatch, so the cell phone pretty much replaced blue lights. “It really doesn’t make sense to have them anymore.” — Sarah Kuta (Colorado Daily, Boulder)

Economic impact of Ebola should not be ignored Ekin Zeytinoglu Daily columnist

Everyday media coverage, extremely dismaying or overly understating social media posts and the circulation of “unknown” facts made Ebola a part of our daily routines. However, compared to other aspects, the economic impact of Ebola still remains a rather unexplored issue. About a month ago, following the report released by World Bank, President Jim Yong Kim commented, “The primary cost of this tragic outbreak is in human lives and suffering, which has already been terribly difficult to bear.” If the disease keeps spreading at its current pace, it would be a “potentially catastrophic blow to the regions’ already fragile economies,” he said. For various reasons, sub-Saharan countries have been generally struggling economically. The three core countries where Ebola is still a major threat to public welfare rank among the lowest for gross domestic product. They also have highly underdeveloped infrastructure and mostly unstable political states. However, after overcoming civil wars, in the cases of Liberia and Sierra Leone,

and mollifying social unrest in Guinea, these economies were on the rise in the last decade. Sadly this may not be true anymore. With the occurrence of Ebola, those three countries have been experiencing a diminished labor force, abandoned lands and farms, a damaged tourism sector and embargoes as other countries close their borders to them. Besides those setbacks, events are being canceled, economic activities are slowing down, public panic is rising and trust in the governments is dwindling, all of which lead to loss of foreign investors, and therefore growth. According to the World Bank report, Sierra Leone lost the chance to achieve middle-income status, Guinea has seen huge losses in its agriculture industry and Liberia has been the worst affected country with vast declines in many industries. A further study revealed that if the disease is not contained and necessary infrastructure is not established by 2015, the regional financial impact may add up to $32.6 billion. That is a doomsday theory but definitely is not far from becoming real. Such an impact would only mean farmers, mine workers and small-business owners, already living under any form of a living standard threshold, would become even poorer than they are. Health and transport systems would fail to develop, therefore putting thousands of more lives

in jeopardy. Recovery will be long since, according to a recent article in the Washington Post, many overseas firms “fail to distinguish between high and low risk areas and the whole of West Africa has suffered as a result.” Yet it is a process many organizations are contributing to and gradual recovery should be the goal by containing the disease without isolating countries by closing borders. Nevertheless, another huge part of the real challenge will begin once the death toll decreases, economies reestablish themselves and panic vanishes. The issue with emergency-adjusted help is that the emergency abates no matter how worrisome it is at the moment. Once the danger disappears, so does all the media coverage, fundraising and workers providing aid in the region. The only reason Ebola received so much attention is probably because it threatened the western world in the first place. Emerging in March, the disease only managed to capture major recognition once western doctors offered their invaluable work in the infected countries, and a few tested positive for the virus. Sub-Saharan problems, nonetheless, are not limited to Ebola. Ebola is a major threat to national healthcare and social welfare, but there are many other worrying problems in the region as well. While Ebola causes 1.35 deaths per

100,000 people, HIV, infant mortality, malaria, malnutrition and many others cause tens, if not hundreds, more. The number of deaths in the United States due to HIV is 2.5 per 100,000, while it is 121 per 100,000 in the sub-Saharan countries. Surely underdeveloped infrastructure, elementary healthcare system and public poverty contributed to this difference greatly, but it also is true that we tend to turn a blind eye to similar situations when we can keep our indifference. Ebola has been threatening the lives of thousands directly and indirectly through social and financial means, and therefore it should be dealt with immediately to avoid the catastrophic results the World Bank report has forecast. However, alienating ourselves from the rest of the Sub-Saharan problems, simply because they don’t influence us the same way, would be committing hypocrisy. We must consider that people in another part of the world are suffering under conditions we can prevent or at least ease. Ebola can be a turning point in recognizing that, or it can remain an isolated incident like many others have for decades. Ekin Zeytinoglu is a McCormick sophomore.

Spend time checking out CTECs before registration Matt gates

Daily columnist

As we prepare to make our class selections for Winter Quarter next week, NU students are again faced with the quarterly decision of what courses to sign up for. Given the wide variety of course offerings at NU, this can often be a difficult decision. Luckily, NU provides its students with resources to help guide students through this decision, one of which is the database of CTECs available on CAESAR, the school’s student information portal. NU students often reference CTECs around the time when they are choosing courses. We urge each other that one professor has particularly poor CTECs or rattle off the numerical ratings of the “effectiveness of the course in challenging you intellectually” and

“stimulating your interest in the subject” to try and guide us toward a decision. I have found looking at CTECs to be extremely worthwhile but also far more timeconsuming than I expected. Although numerical ratings of certain qualities provide a snapshot of what students thought of a course, they by no means provide a full view of what students thought of a course and why. Students should remember to take as much time as possible to fully analyze why other students rated a course the way they did before deciding whether or not to take the course. Numerical ratings of “the course overall” and “the instructor overall” are of limited use without explanation. Many of the CTECs on CAESAR criticize a professor for focusing on certain elements of the course subject rather than others, like a foreign language course focusing disproportionately on reading and writing versus speaking and listening. However, given that professors have only 12 weeks on the quarter system to cover what is often a large

topic, this is not surprising. Reading the comments in full and mulling them over allows a student to determine what aspects of a subject are emphasized in a certain course. Earlier in my NU experience, I was one of many students who took a class and was disappointed that it was not what I had thought it would be. CTECs can help us know what we are going to learn in a course before we take it. Ratings of a professor are also far less useful than the comments about his or her teaching style. Every student has his or her own style of learning, and a professor’s teaching style may better align with the preferences of some students than others. An overall rating of an instructor is less useful than knowledge of that instructor’s teaching style. By considering what students did or did not like about a professor, a student decides whether to take a course with that professor. Not only is it important to look beyond the numerical ratings of CTECs, it is also useful to consider the comments on courses that

are offered during future quarters as well as ones offered during the current quarter. For instance, if many or a few different courses fulfill a requirement, students can use CTECs for courses offered in future quarters to determine if they would like to fulfill a requirement during the current quarter or during a future quarter. Likewise, if a student must take a certain course to fulfill a requirement, he or she can decide when to take it based on the comments about the professor that is teaching it during certain quarters. Looking at CTECs is a great way to make course decisions, but time and effort are required to use this information as effectively as possible. So remember to take some time out of your weekend to make your next quarter as good as it can be. Matt Gates is a Weinberg sophomore. He can be reached at matthewgates2017@u.northwestern.edu.

JerShon Cobb has been through a lot at Northwestern. The 6-foot-5-inch senior guard from Decatur, Georgia, arrived at NU in fall 2010. Since then, he’s played in 73 games, logging almost 2,000 minutes. There have been bumps along the road. Sometimes even potholes. Cobb has gotten hurt every year he’s played at NU. Due to injuries, he missed seven games as a freshman and 12 as sophomore. Then there was the 2012-13 season, which Cobb missed entirely due to suspension for violation of team policy. “I had to grow up a lot,” Cobb said. “When I had to sit on the bench and watch my team lose and they needed me, that hurt.” But Cobb did return, playing a key role for the Wildcats last winter. That is, until he got hurt again. Cobb sustained a foot injury in late February that sent him back to the sideline. After the year, he had surgery to repair a meniscus injury he had played through. Cobb spent the offseason getting healthy. He says he is getting back to where he wants to be. “This offseason I really keyed in on weight training and my diet,” Cobb said. “I think those two things will help me finish this year.” When Cobb is healthy, he’s an outstanding player. He can score from the outside (35 percent three point shooter last year), battle for rebounds (4.8 rebounds per game last year) and play both the one and the two. “Growing up I was a natural two,” said Cobb. “Last year I grew into the point guard position.

The Cats should improve marginally from last year’s performance, but the focus will fall on the future more than the present. How Vic Law, Bryant McIntosh and company fare in their debut seasons is more important than how many games the team wins.

BOBBY

18-13 (8-10 Big Ten)

NU will see a spike in performance, jolted by a glut of talented freshmen and a coach who will be better in his second year. This will still be a plodding, defensive team, but the athleticism and scoring is finally there to make some noise in a crowded Big Ten.

JESSE

18-13 (7-11 Big Ten)

An easy non-conference slate will make NU’s overall record look pretty. The Big Ten will be a struggle again, but this young team will progress as the season goes on and finish strong with five of its last eight games at home.

TIM

18-13 (8-10 Big Ten)

A talented freshman class will bolster the Cats. Defense will continue be key for Chris Collins’ team, and the Cats will make enough noise in Big Ten play to elevate expectations further for 2015-16.

ALEX

17-14 (6-12 Big Ten)

This is a better team than last season, and I expect to see a better product on the court. But the key word there is see, as in by the eye test, because I don’t think the results will follow in the tough Big Ten schedule.

Cobb matures into leader for final season I liked it. I think playing point last year is going to help me this year.” Playing point guard showed the soft-spoken guard’s ability to lead. As a senior, Cobb’s leadership role is now unquestionable. “I had to get out of my shell a little bit, talk more,” Cobb said. “I like to show the guys by example, also. I feel like guys can look up to me because I’ve been through a lot.” Freshman guard Johnnie Vassar says Cobb is a positive influence on the team’s many young players. “I look at him as like the old man on the team,” Vassar said.“I mean, he’s great. He helps all of the freshmen, including myself.” Coach Chris Collins hopes Cobb’s rehab will also serve as a form of leadership by example. “One of the ways I wanted JerShon to lead more than anything is by his ability to work to get back healthy,” Collins said. “You know, for those guys to see what he’s had to do with his rehab, and it’s still a progression. He’s been practicing. He’s injury free, but he’s still working some rust off.” Now a captain, Cobb has seen injuries, suspensions, big wins — he says the win at Wisconsin last year sticks out for him — and long, losing seasons. For all Cobb has been through at NU, there’s still something he hasn’t experienced. Cobb has yet to feel what it’s like to play in his sport’s crown jewel: the NCAA Tournament. But there is still time left for Cobb to check a trip to The Dance off his basketball bucket list. “I want to do well and lead the team, but I want to win,” Cobb said. “I want to get to the NCAA Tournament.”

OLAH AMIGO Junior Alex Olah says he has benefitted from the presence of fellow big man Jeremiah Kreisberg, who arrived from Yale this year for his senior season. Olah averaged 9.1 points and 5.2 rebounds last season.

Olah, Kreisberg make each other better By JESSE KRAMER

daily senior staffer @Jesse_Kramer

The coaching staff ’s expectations are straightforward for 7-foot junior Alex Olah: They want him to be one of the Big Ten’s best centers. Olah made major improvements last season, and he put in the individual work necessary to progress more as a junior. But his development has accelerated thanks to the addition of 6-foot-10-inch Yale transfer Jeremiah Kreisberg. Kreisberg, who has one season of eligibility with the Wildcats, has the size and skill to challenge Olah in practice. Coach Chris Collins said last season the Cats were unable to test Olah to help him improve. Nikola Cerina was the only other scholarship player taller than 6-foot-7-inches, and he did not have the skill to compete at the Big Ten level. He played only 8.8 minutes per game. As a result of not being tested, Olah would often have a false sense of confidence entering games, Collins said. With Kreisberg on the team, the 7-footer cannot ease through practice against smaller competition anymore. “I think (Olah) has to be really sharp if he wants to be successful against me,” Kreisberg said. “I think I make him think a lot. I know his moves.” In addition to the physical challenge, Kreisberg brings a high basketball IQ to the team. Assistant coach Brian James, who works with the frontcourt, said Kreisberg is a “workaholic.” The newcomer constantly wants to watch film and improve his knowledge of the game. Olah said Kreisberg has transmitted some of that basketball wisdom to him. Kreisberg’s knowledge of the game also compensates for Olah’s size advantage, making Olah’s life more difficult when they battle in practice. “He might not be as tall as me,” Olah said, “but with his experience he knows how to guard me. He knows a lot about basketball. He makes me better.” Olah took the first step toward becoming one of the conference’s better centers last season. His scoring average jumped from 6.1 points per game as a freshman to 9.1 as a sophomore. More importantly, his field-goal percentage improved from 41.5 percent to 50.9 percent. James said his goal for Olah as a junior is to average a double-double. That is a lofty target,

but what Olah has learned from practicing against Kreisberg makes the objective more realistic. “It’s tougher for Alex to succeed in practice,” James said. “Not only is Jeremiah strong physically, but he is very crafty on the court in terms of stopping what he feels Alex’s strengths are. Some practices Alex has really had the best of Jeremiah, and Jeremiah has really had the best of Alex at some points.” Kreisberg’s role goes well beyond being Olah’s tool for improvement. With his skill, basketball IQ and work ethic, the coaches (Jeremiah expect he will Kreisberg) might see significant floor time. not be as tall as Even me, but with his though he is experience he the grizzled veteran, Kreisknows how to berg has also guard me. He learned and improved by knows a lot about going against basketball. He his younger makes me better. counterpart every day in Alex Olah, practice. junior center “I’m jealous of how talented (Olah) is,” Kreisberg said. “I had a lot of bad habits coming out of the Ivy League, just not finishing strong every time. I could play at 90 percent (there) versus 110 percent (here). With him, if I ever take a play off, I’m screwed. At Yale, I’d be going against 6-foot-8 guys every day. Now going against a potential all-Big Ten 7-footer, it’s awesome.” Contending for a spot on the all-Big Ten team may still be a season away. But there are only a handful of true centers in the Big Ten, and James said Olah could realistically be among the league’s elite at that position if he gets enough minutes. For Olah, reaching that goal is all about continuing to develop, both by practicing against Kreisberg and competing against opponents once the season starts. “Every time I play, I’ve got to be the best center on the court day in and day out,” Olah said. “Every day is a day for improvement.”

5 things

Photo by Brian Lee/Daily Senior Staffer

to look forward to in the 2014-15 season By ALEX PUTTERMAN

daily senior staffer @AlexPutt02

Northwestern’s season starts Friday night with a game against Houston Baptist at Welsh-Ryan Arena. Here’s what to get excited about:

1. The freshmen This year’s freshman class is one of the deepest and best in program history. Point guard Bryant McIntosh and forward Vic Law are expected to start immediately, while guards Johnnie Vassar and Scottie Lindsey and forward Gavin Skelly will have chances to earn minutes. Law, a lanky wing with raw athleticism, comes in as the most hyped in recruiting rankings. But McIntosh, with his poise and court vision, might be the most college-ready of the group. Whether or not any of the freshmen are stars from the get-go, their progression will be a major indicator of the program’s future. Many think this is the group to end NU’s NCAA Tournament-less streak, and though we certainly won’t know any time soon if that’s the case, we could draw some conclusions about the program’s direction.

2. The rise of Olah Center Alex Olah was probably NU’s most improved player last season. Now a junior, Olah has continued to

work on his back-to-the-basket game and should add to the useful jump-hook he showed off in 2013-14. After averaging 9.1 points per game last year, Olah should score in double figures, and with Drew Crawford gone, is a lock to lead the Wildcats in rebounding. With NU’s newfound frontcourt depth, Olah won’t have to play quite as many minutes as he did in 2013-14, which could keep him fresh deep into the season. Olah has a strong chance to emerge as one of the team’s best players and maybe one of the Big Ten’s best centers.

3. An easy non-conference schedule It’s hard to know how many games the Cats will win in January and February, so it’s good to know they’ll find some easy wins in November and December. NU plays only one or two major conference opponents outside of the Big Ten (depending on the results of the Cancun Challenge), beginning with underwhelming Houston Baptist on Friday. Of the Cats’ 13 non-conference games, nine are at home. The easy non-conference slate might be beneficial for Chris Collins’ young team. In a year when NU has serious NCAA Tournament aspirations, strength of schedule will be important. But with that not really a consideration this year, there’s little harm in building confidence against lesser opponents. The tough competition the Cats need to improve awaits in Big Ten play anyway.

Freshmen point guards By JESSE KRAMER

daily senior staffer @Jesse_Kramer

Northwestern had one of the slowest tempos in college basketball season, but senior guard JerShon Cobb, a co-captain, said the team wants running to be its identity. A big reason why Johnnie Vassar they can be successful with a faster allows you to tempo are the addimaybe go to a tions of freshmen little bit faster point guards Bryant McIntosh and Johntempo. He can nie Vassar. Between change the McIntosh’s cour t energy of a game vision and ball hanwhen he comes dling and Vassar’s explosiveness and in. at h l e t i c i s m , t h e young guards can Chris Collins, be a pesky pair who coach complement each other in the backcourt when it comes to their skills and roles on the team. “My role is just to run the team, to get us in our offense and create for myself or others,” McIntosh said. “Johnnie brings a whole other element to our defense. No offense to me

“

or (senior point guard Dave Sobolewski), but we don’t really possess that quick, spark-plug energy that Johnnie has.” Last season, Sobolewski started 21 games at point guard. When he missed time with an injury, Cobb and junior Tre Demps left their natural positions as two-guards to become part-time facilitators. The Cats’ backcourt will look different this season with the new pieces, and coach Chris Collins said he will at times use a two-point-guard system. He experimented with such a lineup in NU’s exhibition against McKendree. McIntosh and Vassar saw 5:26 of floor time together over two different stretches in the 102-52 win. After some sloppy play in their first stretch, the combo looked smoother late in the second half, as the team went on an 8-2 run before McIntosh was subbed out. McIntosh has experience playing as a two-guard before college, so playing with another point guard on the floor is not a major adjustment for him.

4. JerShon Cobb’s denouement Senior guard JerShon Cobb has a chance to close out his NU career with his first drama-free campaign. After missing time to injury in three seasons and to suspension in a fourth, Cobb can erase — or at least mitigate — the bad memories. When he’s been on the court, Cobb has been a pretty good player. He creates his own shot and defends well, and last year he shifted to point guard when necessary. This year, for the first time, Cobb will be looked to as NU’s best player and team leader. There’s plenty of room for a happy ending.

5. The real start of the Collins era Last year was Collins’ first as Cats coach, but this will be his first opportunity to work with players he brought to the program himself. With six newcomers out of 12 scholarship players, the program is rapidly becoming Collins’ own. The former Duke assistant has said from the start that he envisions NU eventually playing an up-tempo offense far different from the plodding one he orchestrated last year. With the new personnel, Collins will be able to push the Cats away from what they looked like before his arrival and toward how he hopes they’ll look down the road. Collins stamping his identity on the program will be a story to watch this season and beyond. asputt@u.northwestern.edu

accelerate Cats offense On the other hand, Vassar said he was generally the main point guard on his high school and AAU teams. He is still acclimating to playing in lineups with a second point guard. “You have to learn to play without the ball in your hands,” Vassar said. “But in the end, it’s just playing basketball, the game that we’ve all been playing.” Last season, NU was a onetrick pony. The Cats always played with a slow tempo, rarely pressed and buckled down in the half-court on both ends. With a dynamic player like Vassar, the Cats will be able to show some different looks and keep opponents off balance. “He allows you to maybe go to Source: Stephen J. Carrera/Northwestern Athletic Communications

BIG MAC Point guard Bryant McIntosh will partner with fellow freshman Johnnie Vassar to form a speedy backcourt duo. With help from McIntosh and Vassar, coach Chris Collins hopes to speed up the Wildcats this year.

a little bit faster tempo,” Collins said. “He can change the energy of a game when he comes in. Maybe we’re a little sluggish. All of the sudden, you can throw him in there and get him pushing the ball and picking the ball up. It gives us a change of pace, which I like. There’s no question when he’s in we can play more athletic and faster, and that’s something that he’s got to embrace.” Vassar understands his role and does embrace it. “If you need someone to pressure someone or push up the tempo, just call on me,” he said. Collins said he is a coach who builds a system around his personnel rather than forcing his personnel into a system. That is what happened last season. He switched up the team’s style in mid-January once he realized a slow tempo and commitment to defense would lead to more success. With additions like McIntosh and Vassar, Collins can once again alter the team’s identity. “I’ve always been a coach to use the guys I have on a given team and try to devise a way to play,” Collins said. “I didn’t come into last year thinking we were going to evolve into the team we did. But then we saw who we had, and we evolved into that team who could be competitive. This team’s a whole different team.” jessekramer2017@u.northwestern.edu

Retired prof speaks about WWII â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;comfort womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; By Madeline fox

the daily northwestern @MadelineFox14

A retired professor of Korean studies spoke to a packed room in Harris Hall on Wednesday night about â&#x20AC;&#x153;comfort womenâ&#x20AC;? who were enslaved for sex by the Japanese army during World War II. Bonnie Oh, a retired Georgetown University professor, recounted the history and legacy of an estimated 80,000 to 400,000 women and girls who were forced into sexual slavery for the Japanese army from 1931 to 1945. She said during the war, the women gathered at â&#x20AC;&#x153;comfort stationsâ&#x20AC;? near military bases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Soldiers would queue up, assigned to certain times,â&#x20AC;? Oh said in a lecture hosted by the Buffett Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes when there were new shipments of soldiers, these times would be no longer than 15 minutes, with no time for the women to wash up in between.â&#x20AC;? Although these women came from all over Asia, 80 percent of the victims were Korean, because they were believed to be more likely free of disease, Oh said. Because of her concentration in Korean studies, Oh became interested in these women, though she said her peers did not approve of her interest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I first started getting interested in this topic 22 years ago, I was almost ostracized â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a good woman getting interested in a topic like that,â&#x20AC;? Oh said. The topic of comfort women was new to some attendees, including Weinberg sophomore Sanjana

Lakshmi, who attended a dinner with Oh before the presentation. Other members of the International Gender Equality Movement, a student group that promotes advancing womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights worldwide, also attended the dinner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew there was rape and pillaging and other war crimes during World War II, and I know thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sex trafficking, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know there was this systematic sex slavery,â&#x20AC;? Lakshmi said. The Japanese government has tried to avoid the topic of comfort women, particularly when it comes to the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culpability in their enslavement, Oh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The repeated claim is that the Japanese government was not involved, that these women were professional prostitutes,â&#x20AC;? Oh said. The only remaining records of the exploitation are personal accounts and those of Japanese soldiers, since all other documents and evidence were destroyed after the war, and some of the women were killed. Oh said the existing accounts point to the Japanese governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culpability in setting up the system of comfort stations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every country has ugly chapters which people would like to forget, but for which reparations are called for,â&#x20AC;? Oh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is unique about comfort women in Japan is the official nature â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the commanders in the field set up and regulated this system, and they had a direct line of communication with the emperor.â&#x20AC;? Although the sex slavery system ended with World

WWII History Bonnie Oh, a retired Korean studies professor from Georgetown University, talks in Harris Hall about â&#x20AC;&#x153;comfort women,â&#x20AC;? sex slaves who were forced to serve Japanese soldiers during World War II. Oh spoke to a crowded room in a lecture held by the Buffett Center.

War II, the issue resonates with others struggling with sexual violence against women today, said Youngju Ji, the executive director of Korean American Women in Need, an organization for domestic violence and sexual assault victims in Korean and other Asian communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very much connected to what we are trying to do with our mission of ending violence against women,â&#x20AC;? Ji, who attended the event, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was great for us to expand our knowledge about this issue going forward, to be more equipped with a different

perspective on this issue.â&#x20AC;? Oh said the impact the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stories can have upon others is essential to their legacy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a question of what kind of legacy these women can leave,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are destitute, old and have nothing left to leave. But comfort women ended up leaving a lot of legacies in the lessons they gave us on human endurance and the strength to triumph and to survive.â&#x20AC;? mfox17@u.northwestern.edu

payments to songwriters for their work. “The trampling of writers’ rights in the digital marketplace without any regard to their contribution to the creative process will no longer be tolerated,” Azoff said. YouTube did not immediately respond to Azoff. Their new on-demand offering will allow subscribers to listen to music and watch videos without commercials. Users will be able to listen on their smartphones while sending text messages and store videos and music on their devices for offline listening. “We want YouTube to continue to be the best place for artists and fans to connect,” said Christophe Muller, the company’s head of music partnerships, and “give artists more ways to connect with fans and earn more revenue.” The pros and cons of music streaming services have been debated for years, and even popular Swedish service Spotify had its U.S. launch delayed multiple times as rights negotiations dragged on. The debate has become even more heated in recent weeks. Taylor Swift recently joined a growing roster of musicians who have complained about the fractions of a cent that Spotify pays artists each time a consumer streams a song. Four days after her new album, “1989,” was released, Swift and her Nashvillebased label Big Machine Records withdrew all her music from the streaming service. Jimmy Buffett recently went public asking Spotify founder Daniel Ek for a raise, and other musicians including Beyonce, Coldplay, the Black Keys and Radiohead leader Thom Yorke have chosen to withhold their music from the service.

The music industry’s move toward paid subscription services, and away from discs and downloads, has been underway for several years. On Wednesday, YouTube joined the party — bringing with it the world’s largest audience for popular music and the financial clout of its parent company, Google Inc. The video streaming company announced plans to launch a service dubbed YouTube Music Key that will give users access to tens of millions of songs, for about $10 a month. The move underlined the shift toward streamed services as the music industry’s future. Also Wednesday, concert promoter Live Nation announced a partnership with Vice to launch a music-themed video service for mobile phones, TV and Internet. There is already fierce competition in this space from streaming services including Spotify, Rhapsody and Pandora. Still, YouTube’s reach with consumers makes it a powerful contender out of the gate. “They’re sort of already the 800-pound gorilla,” said Ben Bajarin, an analyst at Creative Strategies. “They’ve already got a big base.” Not everyone is signing on, however. Irving Azoff, the music industry veteran who has formed a new company called Global Music Rights to manage royalties for artists, says his 41 clients — including Pharrell Williams, Smokey Robinson and the estate of John Lennon — may not participate. Azoff, the former chairman of Live Nation, said YouTube isn’t paying his clients enough. He wants to help bring an end to a “history of undeniably low”

The intersection is right next to Washington Elementary School, 914 Ashland Ave. Students are dismissed on regular school days at 3:35 p.m., according to the school’s site. Police are currently investigating the incident, Parrott said.

From page 1 community for low-income students,” Walsh said, adding that the committee will train Peer Advisers in the future. Walsh said because not all group members at NU are Questbridge scholarship recipients, the group hopes to “re-brand” the chapter and possibly rename it. The latter may be difficult because Quest Scholars is a national organization, she said. SESP junior Chris Harlow, student life vice president, and Medill senior Jaime Toplin, public relations vice president, introduced a working group to analyze and improve the ways ASG elicits feedback. After a vote, the proposal failed to move to old business and will therefore be voted

Stigma

From page 1 Communication junior John Mederich spoke on the panel. He said he suffered from depression and struggled with his sexuality in high school and still deals with mental health problems sometimes. Like Lehman, the panel was the first time he had shared his story Students don’t with the public. “It was a little bit receive help nerve-racking at first because they’re but ultimately therapeuscared of how tic, especially knowing that so many people in their peers the room could idenwould view tify,” Mederich said after the event. them. Amanda Meyer, coAmanda Meyer, president of NU Active co-president of NU Minds, said two-thirds Active Minds of college students who need help with a mental illness don’t receive it because of the stigma associated with it. “Students don’t receive help because they’re scared of how their peers would view them,” the Weinberg senior told The Daily. “They’re scared they’re the only ones going through this. They don’t want to be alone.” Meyer believes panels such as the STIGMA panel make a difference because they promote campus conversations about mental health, which

on next week. Senate also passed a proposal to make amendments to outdated sections of the Student Groups Committee Guidelines. They also passed an amendment requiring that submissions of any monetary amount to the Wild Ideas Fund be presented to Senate. The previous guidelines required only funds more than $150 to be brought up to Senate. Senate approval is still only required for fund requests of more than $500. Funding for B-status groups was also discussed. McCormick senior Alex Van Atta, ASG vice president for student groups, said the committee received about 60 applications and is recommending $17,000 to be allocated to the groups this quarter. Senate will discuss funding allocation at next week’s meeting on Nov. 19. oliviaexstrum2017@u.northwestern.edu is something a lot of people think should not be talked about, she said. “When people who have had serious experiences talk about what they’ve gone through … that tells people who might be in the audience who are listening, ‘I’m not the only one feeling this way. That person feels this way too,’” she said. Nusslock said he appreciated the panelists’ honesty and their emphasis that students struggling with mental health should not feel inadequate. “I think that was a theme. It’s OK to be who you are, and the world will meet you where you’re at,” he said after the event. Nusslock also said mental illness may not always be negative, describing it as “journeying to the frontiers of the human mind.” Notable people such as Ludwig van Beethoven, Sylvia Plath, Winston Churchill, Ernest Hemingway and Abraham Lincoln all suffered from some sort of mental illness, yet still did remarkable things, he said. Lehman told the panel her mental illness was the “biggest blessing” that ever happened to her. “Finding the beauty in something so scary and accepting what it is that I am and not letting it define me, but knowing it’s there and that there’s these wonderful people that can really help change what it looks like every day is an amazing thing,” she said. emilychin2018@u.northwestern.edu

NU blows lead, loses to Minnesota

Volleyball Nathan Richards/Daily Senior Staffer

TOUGH BREAK The Wildcats have lost nine of their last 11 matchups. They’ve only won one match on the road since the start of September. Northwestern

Minnesota

3 By MAX GELMAN

the daily northwestern @MaxGelman

Looking for their first win at Minnesota since 2005, the Wildcats (15-11, 5-10 in Big Ten) failed to pull through, falling to the Golden Gophers (16-10, 6-9) in four sets Wednesday. Northwestern played well early on, with freshman Symone Abbott notching five kills in the first set. However, things went south after the Cats blew a 4-point lead in the second. “We needed to execute at a higher

level,” coach Keylor Chan said after the loss. “We were controlling the match, and we let it slip away. You have to capitalize when you have control … and we didn’t.” The first set began with multiple service and attack errors from both sides, but the teams managed to split the first 16 points. Minnesota went out in front for a little, but NU tied up the game again at 12. The Cats went in front thanks to back-to-back kills from Abbott. Led by strong serving by senior Monica McGreal, NU went on a 8-1 run, taking a commanding 20-13 lead. Minnesota tried to muster a comeback, but the Cats denied them, taking the first 25-20. Set number two started off closely again: Behind two key blocks by Abbott, NU split the first 10 points. The Cats then went out in front 10-7 before the Gophers called their first timeout. NU maintained control of

the second, but Minnesota never fell far behind, staying within 3 points of the lead until their second timeout when the Cats led 18-14. The Gophers came out of the stoppage with 3 straight points, forcing coach Keylor Chan to take his first timeout. NU was unable to stop the quick momentum shift as the Gophers took the lead, and eventually the set 25-20. “I think Minnesota just really came back at us and kind of caught us off guard for a moment,” said sophomore hitter Kayla Morin, who led the team with 17 kills. “We were playing well the first two sets and expected to keep riding that wave, and then Minnesota kind of took us by surprise there.” Freshman Taylor Tashima, who notched her second triple-double in the past three games, offered her thoughts succinctly. “Their offense picked up,” she said.

“They were in-system a lot more than the first set. We didn’t respond accordingly.” The third set began much like the first two, back and forth with both teams each winning eleven of the first twenty-two points. The Gophers began to pull away from the Cats, leading 16-13 as Chan took a timeout. Minnesota never took its foot off the gas, and suddenly NU found itself down 2-1 as the Gophers won the third 25-18. Minnesota started off the fourth set well, taking 7-4 and 14-10 leads early on. The Cats were hanging by a thread, trying to swing the momentum back in their favor. Unfortunately for NU, it simply wasn’t in the cards. The Gophers closed out the fourth on a 7-1 run, and the Cats remained winless at the Sports Pavilion for nine straight seasons, losing the fourth set 25-15 and the match 3-1. “She’s been great. She’s really been leading and doing the things we need her to do to put ourselves in the position to be successful,” Chan said, regarding Tashima’s triple-double. One thing that everyone seemed to agree needs work heading into Saturday’s tilt with Purdue? Blocking. “We needed to execute some things blocking-wise,” Chan said. “We blocked pretty poorly tonight. Even though we generated some good blocks, we didn’t really control (opposing) hitters like we needed to. In the Big Ten you have to control them more or you’re going to get the tough end of it.” Morin echoed her coach. “(What) we need to improve on the most is blocking,” she said. “Making sure we know where to line up and really focusing on our technique there.” Tashima agreed. “Definitely blocking,” she said. “Purdue is a really offensive team like Minnesota. At home (against Purdue) it was a really close match, it went to five and came down to the last few points. It’s going to be a really aggressive match.” maxgelman2018@u.northwestern.edu

Cats head to Madison for tough meet No. 21 Northwestern vs. No. 13 Wisconsin

Men’s Swimming

Madison, Wisconsin 5 p.m. Thursday

the daily northwestern @tylerskendall

This Thursday, Northwestern will be on the road against Wisconsin. The Badgers rank ahead of No. 21 NU, according to the most recent poll by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America, with the Badgers at No. 13. Coming off of a recent loss to Missouri, coach Jarod Schroeder noted comparisons with last weekend’s events as the Cats prepare for another highly competitive meet. “Wisconsin is a really good team, so they won’t be any easier than Missouri was,” Schroeder said. “For us the main thing is to go up there and challenge them the same as we did against Missouri. We need to go and try to raise the level of competitiveness in a setting that matters.” Wisconsin is 3-2 so far this season and is coming off of two recent losses to California schools. However, the Badger’s relatively high rank on the CSCAA poll indicates

the strength of the program. “They don’t have any weakness,” Schroeder said. “That’s going to be the tough thing to overcome. When I do the calculations though, we match up pretty well in some of the events. If we can end up on the winning end of those events, I think we got a shot at beating them.” Despite an expected strong performance from Wisconsin, Northwestern feels confident in its diving base to set a foundation for points.

“Wisconsin has a lot of depth,” junior captain Van Donkersgoed said, “but I think we can certainly see eight events we can definitely win. And all we need after that is one or two more events to go our way. It’s going to to be close, but they don’t have a lot of depth in diving. So we can easily go in and start 20 points ahead with what we can accumulate from the diving competitions. If we do what we know we can do, we can beat them.” The Wildcats are hoping to

change the precedent pattern of results when facing Wisconsin this week. “If we can beat them on the road, that would be a big thing for our program,” Schroeder said. “It’s kind of interesting, if you look at the last four years that we’ve swum Wisconsin, and they come to our pool, we beat them. And when we go to their pool, they beat us. I’d love to see a change in that.” tylerkendall2018@u.northwestern.edu

Field Hockey

The next NU dynasty MIKE MARUT

DAILY SPORTS @MIKEONTHEMIC93

After covering the Northwestern field hockey team for the past two seasons, I’ve come to a great realization: They’re an incredible team. Maybe the Wildcats are not on every student’s mind, but they will be soon. Since the arrival of coach Tracey Fuchs, NU has been on the rise. Before Fuchs came, the team did not achieve a winning record since 1995. In Fuchs’s six years as leader of the Cats’ squad, the team’s record has steadily increased, starting at 12-8 in 2009 and rising to 16-6 this season. NU received its highest accolade in program history this year: winning the Big Ten Tournament. The Big Ten is traditionally very strong in field hockey with teams such as Michigan, Iowa and Penn State acting as powerhouses. With the recent addition of Maryland to the conference, the Big Ten has become even more competitive and thus, winning the tournament provides proof of the Cats rise to dominance on the field hockey turf. Many similarities exist between the field hockey team and the NU lacrosse team, headed by coach Kelly Amonte Hiller. Amonte Hiller brought the team out of anonymity. Before Amonte Hiller’s arrival, the lacrosse team had been demoted to club sport status from 1993 until 2002. When Amonte Hiller became the coach, the sport regained varsity status. After the 2002 and 2003 seasons, the Cats dominated the American Lacrosse Conference. Like Fuchs and field hockey, under the direction of Amonte Hiller, the NU lacrosse team earned the NCAA record for most consecutive home victories (58) and holds program records in consecutive victories, conference victories and consecutive road victories. The team has recorded 34 NCAA tournament wins with only three losses, and Amonte Hiller’s winning percentage is second among all active women’s lacrosse coaches. Looking at the record books, archives, coaches and statistics, the Cats’ field hockey team is going to do great things. With Fuchs’ history as a world-class coach and influential player, she is able to recruit players from around the globe. In fact, the field hockey team has a higher number of international athletes than any other NU varsity team. Sometimes, a dynasty can start with only a couple of involved people. In the case of the Cats, those people were Fuchs and Chelsea Armstrong. Once Fuchs decided to become the coach for NU, Armstrong was entering her freshman year, and instead of joining the Wolverines, where Fuchs used to coach, she chose to follow Fuchs and play with the Cats. Armstrong holds many field hockey records within the NU program. She has scored the most goals in a single career, most goals in a single season and holds the second most assists in a single career. The greatness of NU’s field hockey team will soon — if it is not already — be unquestioned. The team has come a long way under the guidance and leadership of Fuchs, similar to how Amonte Hiller leads her lacrosse team. For the field hockey team to come from not having a winning season from 1995 to 2009 to winning the 2014 Big Ten Tournament over a storied, decorated Maryland field hockey team says a lot about where this team is headed. michaelmarut2016@u.northwestern.edu
