Big energy Big Sean performs Friday night at Welsh-Ryan Arena. Student DJ Anleu and indie duo MS MR opened for the rapper at A&O’s annual Blowout.
Big Sean may only be of average height, but the rapper lived up to his name Friday night when he commanded the stage at A&O Blowout. Big Sean headlined the night at WelshRyan Arena after student DJ Anleu and indie rock duo MS MR, in front of a crowd of Northwestern students. Bienen senior Lucas Messore kicked off the evening with a 20-minute DJ set. Messore, who performs under the name Anleu, is the first student act to play Blowout. Before performing, Messore told The Daily he hadn’t decided what kind of set he was planning to do. “I just completely improvised,” Messore said after he played. “I didn’t have anything planned out. I had a few playlists that were workable … that seemed to be appropriate for the event.” Messore said he was surprised by the size of the crowd that was already at the arena to hear his set at 7 p.m. Earlier in the day, Big Sean posted an Instagram video announcing he would take the stage at 9 p.m. MS MR opened their set with eerie guitar chords before duo Lizzy Plapinger and Max Hershenow performed “Fantasy” from the band’s 2013 album “Secondhand Rapture.” Playing to a half-listening crowd, Plapinger and Hershenow had fun on stage, joking about the nature of the college-age crowd. “If you’re going to make out with someone, this is your chance,” the duo » See blowout, page 6
Activist talks civil rights reporting By Mariana Alfaro
the daily northwestern @marianaa_alfaro
When Charlayne Hunter-Gault decided to study at the University of Georgia in the 1960s, she did not expect to become a figure in the civil rights movement. “I think that wanting to be a journalist was my prime motivation when applying to the University of Georgia,” Hunter-Gault told The Daily on Friday, after speaking to a crowd of about 100 students at Northwestern. “I never thought that I was witnessing history or anything.” Hunter-Gault, a former correspondent for NPR and PBS, came to NU as part of the One Book One Northwestern activity series this year that focuses on creating dialogue about race and identity. She was one of the first two black students to enroll in the University of Georgia. Speaking at the McCormick Foundation Center, Hunter-Gault described growing up in a society where she said the slogan “separate but equal” only meant separate. She recalled the time she was told by her university’s dean that she would be suspended for her own safety after an angry mob went after her. “I didn’t say anything,” she said. “I walked out with the dean into that stilllingering tear gas in the air and the next day the journalists asked me, ‘Well, are you afraid?’ and I said I wasn’t. They couldn’t believe it. At the time I didn’t realize why I wasn’t afraid of that darkness or the unknown.”

City releases 2015 budget proposal By paige leskin
daily senior staffer @paigeleskin
Evanston released Friday its proposal for the 2015 budget, which calls for an additional $5.5 million in funding compared with last year and no net increase in property taxes for residents. The total 2015 budget is more than $260 million, a 2.2 percent increase from the previous year’s budget, according to a budget message from city manager Wally Bobkiewicz. The budget, which lays out the city’s finances and community priorities for the upcoming year, focuses on a set list of goals, including infrastructure for streets and buildings, economic development and providing help for at-risk residents. “The 2015 Proposed Budget brings additional emphasis to our work supporting Evanston residents in need through expanded Human Services efforts,” Bobkiewicz said in the message. “In addition, the 2015 Proposed Budget continues on City-wide efforts creating the most livable City for our residents.” The resources put forward to meet those objectives are designed to reflect the desires of all members of the city community while balancing those wants with the resources actually available, Bobkiewicz said. In order to offset various expenses and costs, the city plans to increase by 10 percent the rate it charges other cities for drinking water, as well as impose a tax on rental cars, which staff expect will bring about $70,000 for the city per year. The budget sets room for the
creation of a Human Services Fund, which would be devoted to providing funding for the Evanston Mental Health Board, Bobkiewicz said. “We will provide access to resources that offer support and empower families,” he said in his message. “Services will be delivered by means of a comprehensive system of care, which emphasizes the most appropriate, least restrictive settings to promote the highest level of functioning.” Bobkiewicz also laid out worries in the budget that both the city and residents had expressed for Evanston’s future, such as issues with quality of life, debt and police and firefighter pensions. Because of the city’s public safety services, Evanston’s rate of serious crime in 2014 dropped 7.4 percent, Bobkiewicz said. He also highlighted the city’s success this year in economic development through the opening of more than 30 businesses. “In 2015, Economic Development staff will continue to support these specific initiatives, but will focus significantly more on serving Evanston’s strong core of independent businesses,” he said in the message. “Specifically, the City’s Economic Development staff will continue to focus on the retention and expansion of existing businesses, the creation of new jobs for all skill levels, growth and diversification of tax revenue, and support of business district revitalization.” The budget will formally be presented to City Council on Oct. 20, Bobkiewicz said in an email to Evanston media. A public hearing will be held Oct. 25. pl@u.northwestern.edu

breaking barriers Former PBS and NPR correspondent Charlayne Hunter-Gault speaks at Medill about growing up in the 1960s. HunterGault was one of the first two black students to enroll at the University of Georgia.
After graduation, Hunter-Gault decided the best way to support the civil rights movement was to report about it. She wrote stories about the police, who arrested and held young black men to create cases that would challenge the civil rights movement and keep segregationist laws in place. She was also involved with the Freedom Riders, a group of black and white civil rights activists who challenged the laws by riding public buses into segregated regions. She told the audience stories of the riders being targeted by angry mobs. Although the job was dangerous, HunterGault said she was honored to be part of it.
Serving the University and Evanston since 1881
“They had no idea why I was smiling,” she said. “I was so proud to be associated with the Freedom Riders.” Addressing the crowd of mostly journalism students, Hunter-Gault highlighted the importance of the press. Even after President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964, Hunter-Gault said she continued to “write for the defenseless.” “See to it that every citizen, whether it is local or global, has news that are useful to them to make a better world,” she said. marianaalfaro2018@u.northwestern.edu

Around Town City Council to vote on Penny Park redesign plans, contract City Council will vote Monday on the contractor for the Penny Park redesign, which has been delayed since its original renovation plans in the spring. Leathers & Associates, which initially designed the park, will oversee the future playground design and construction administration if the motion passes, according to a memo to council members. The proposed contract with Leathers & Associates comes to a total cost of $38,707. Leathers & Associates, a firm that creates custom-designed playgrounds, first designed Penny Park in 1991, the memo said. Evanston residents helped make the playground, which is located at the intersection of Lake Street and

Police charged a 31-year-old woman with a battery charge on Thursday, police said. The Evanston woman was arrested at the Evanston Police Department, 1454 Elmwood Ave., at 11:15 a.m. Thursday following a detective’s investigation into the open case, police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said.
Aldermen to vote on changing hiring penalty ordinance City Council is expected to vote Monday to amend the penalty fee for contractors who do not hire Evanston residents for city-funded construction projects.
Ashland Avenue. The park’s equipment is 23 years old and, because of its age, there are concerns about the deterioration of the park’s infrastructure, the memo to aldermen said. In addition, it said the current park does not abide by safety standards and Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. When it was first built, Penny Park designs were based on community feedback. Leathers & Associates will include community suggestions again for the new designs if the council votes positively on the contract. Ald. Peter Braithwaite (2nd) told The Daily last March that renovations were scheduled for this fall. However, in the memo outlining the contract proposal, the final design for the playground is planned for January 2015 and construction is planned for August 2015. Two community meetings for the project are scheduled in February and May before construction begins.
Nonetheless, some community members have said on the website Preserve Penny Park that the city has not provided any evidence that proves the depreciation of the park’s wood or proves the park does not follow safety or ADA standards. The group organized itself in order to voice opposition against the complete demolition of the park. “We believe it is irresponsible and disingenuous for the City to repeatedly blithely assert the playground equipment is failing … when the City’s claims about the failing play equipment are apparently based on nothing more than what some posts look like below ground to the naked eye,” the website said. If the motion passes Monday, Leathers will provide consultation during the park’s construction in addition to making the design drawings.
The woman who was attacked, a 29-year-old Northwestern student, was walking in the 1300 block of Chicago Avenue when the Evanston resident came up to her and struck her in the side of the face for no apparent reason, police said. The NU student initially reported the incident to campus police, Parrott said. University Police shared the case with Evanston police, who were able to connect it to a similar incident that occurred earlier the same day and in which the same Evanston woman was charged on the scene, police said.
iPhone stolen from Evanston park

An unknown person took an iPhone 5 from Foster Park on Wednesday, police said. The phone, which belonged to a Wilmette resident, was stolen from the park, located on Ashland Avenue between Foster Street and Simpson Street, on Wednesday night, Parrott said. A 20-year-old man left his phone unattended while he went to park his car on Ashland Avenue, police said. When he returned, the phone, valued at about $500, was gone, police said. — Paige Leskin
The ordinance suggests changing the penalty for noncompliant contractors to 1 percent of the total project value from the current penalty of $100 per day. Under city code, contractors for construction projects funded by the city are required to pay a fine if they do not employ Evanston residents. Council decided to hold off on making changes to the penalty for the Minority, Women and Evanston Based Employer and the Local Employment Programs last spring. When the
amendment was first up for consideration in April, the original plan recommended changing the penalty to 3 percent of a project’s value. Added to the amendment is the creation of a Workforce Reserve Account. Funds collected from the penalties will enter the account, which can be used to advance the goals for the city’s Local Employment Program and Workforce Development Program. — Lydia Ramsey

On Campus Chicago-themed Homecoming begins with color roar About 230 students kicked off Homecoming Week on Sunday with a rainbow assortment of paint packets at the third annual Color Roar. Attendance fees for the event, during which participants threw colored paint at each other on Deering Meadow, raised more than $1,500 for the Summer Internship Grant Program, Homecoming co-chair Lakin Davis said. “Every year I think it’s gotten a little bigger and a little better,” the Weinberg senior said. This was the second year Color Roar has been used to raise money for the grant program, which provides a stipend for undergraduates who take unpaid internships during the summer. Davis said Homecoming organizers originally considered donating to a different organization every year. “But it’s a great cause, and we love to give back within the Northwestern community,” she said. “That’s what Homecoming is all about.” The event was the beginning of a week of activities that will culminate in the NU football game against Nebraska on Saturday. This year’s homecoming theme is “Willie in the Windy City” and Davis said events were planned with Chicago in mind. After a food truck festival on Monday at Deering Meadow, Tuesday will feature a “speakeasy” in Scott Hall that harkens back to 1920s Chicago, Davis said. At Wednesday’s Deering Meadow movie night,
organizers will show “Divergent.” The film is based on a novel by NU alumna Veronica Roth (Weinberg ‘10) and set in post-apocalyptic Chicago. The rest of the week will round out with a festival featuring carnival food and student DJs on Thursday and a student-alumni mixer Friday followed by the Homecoming parade and pep rally led by actress Ana Gasteyer (Communication ’89), this year’s grand marshal. “We really liked the idea of celebrating Chicago, the city we’re so close to,” Davis said. — Jeanne Kuang

U.S. should consider implications of Columbus Day jordan bascom
Daily columnist
Stores nationwide are celebrating Monday’s holiday in true American fashion: with a Columbus Day sale. This is great news! That means everything is free for the taking! Right? Unfortunately not, much to my dismay, though such a sale would be a more fitting way to commemorate Mr. Columbus. Alas, the slashed prices invoke our nation’s “discoverer” in name only, an excuse to commercialize yet another of our sacrosanct holidays. Somehow in our enlightened 21st century, we still have a national holiday recognizing the man who inaugurated our dark history of genocide and slavery. Was he also responsible for establishing channels of exchange that culminated in the founding of the United States? Sure. But it seems irresponsible to accord this man his own holiday while not having one to acknowledge the suffering engendered by his actions. Columbus is one of only two people for whom calendar days are dedicated in the
U.S., the other being Martin Luther King Jr. There is not, however, a holiday that specifically recognizes the Native Americans who lost their lives as a result of his actions. Thanksgiving is meant to honor the harvest, and in the U.S. it vaguely incorporates a historical component marking positive cultural exchange between the pilgrims and Native Americans. Veterans Day and Memorial Day are associated with respecting the dead, and the Fourth of July commemorates our country’s founding. So why do we have a day to recognize the first European to colonize America, but none for the people whose land we took and who paid the price for such with their lives? Columbus Day first became a federal holiday in 1937 at the decree of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, though it was widely observed in an unofficial capacity long before then. The first celebration occurred in 1792, when New Yorkers honored the 300th anniversary of Columbus’ landing. Throughout the 19th century, the holiday continued to be marked, particularly by ItalianAmericans and Catholics who celebrated it in homage to their heritage. For the 400th anniversary of Columbus’ arrival, President Benjamin Harrison encouraged Americans to again herald the occasion.
Keeping up with pop culture is worth it madeline burg

On Saturday I heard someone say we’re now embarking on week four of this quarter, and I felt slightly sick. Could time really be moving that slowly? In my mind I’d already done a quarter’s worth of school work and basically nothing else. Granted this is a thing that happens to me just about every quarter; I didn’t choose the English major life, the English major life chose me. Class, work study job, reading, all repeated endlessly, and sometimes interrupted by an exciting trip to the grocery store or the laundry room. So how do we even have friends? No one wants to hear about how I read “Giovanni’s Room” by James Baldwin while I sat at the front desk in the English department office waiting for some professor to ask me to scan something. And if you’re a true millennial, you’ve already told social media about everything you’ve done/seen/eaten today, and I’ve already seen it on Twitter and Instagram. Twenty-first century connectedness leaves little to be discovered or discussed. Fodder for pleasant conversation is lacking. Thus I thank Beyonce for the eternal gossip mill that is the world of pop culture. In an age where Netflix reigns supreme and the binge-watch has become the television standard, where film franchises based on YA novels breed like rabbits and where the only criterion for the newest music video is that it has to be more controversial than the last, there need be no scrambling for small talk. We can at least all agree that George R. R. Martin is probably just screwing with us, am I right? We relate to each other through pop culture because our work as students leaves little time for anything else, and definitely does not provide for interesting things to talk about when you do have a brief respite from said work. Technology has thoughtfully provided twenty-somethings with a way to always be appraised of what’s going on in pop culture, and I have no doubt that left to our own devices we would gladly sit down to watch the entirety of “Lost” in favor of doing almost anything else, including interacting with our loved ones and feeding ourselves. Escapism is being taken quite literally here; I would like to escape
my obligation of having to post to Canvas about the significance of names in “Song of Solomon” by re-watching that episode of “30 Rock” in which Liz Lemon high-fives a million angels. Pop culture is the great equalizer. Are you into sitcoms? Premium cable dramas? Doesn’t matter, I’m sure we’d both rather be hate-watching “Dance Moms” than doing problem sets. Are you too ashamed of your sensitive hipster music tastes to keep your Spotify session off of private? Me too, let’s gossip about Ariana Grande’s new hairstyle instead of reading that article about the economics of Shakespeare’s histories. I swear I won’t mention James Joyce if we can talk about I will “Fifty Shades of definitely Grey” instead of me coerce my morosely reading “Ulysses” by myself friends into at Unicorn Cafe. seeing the Highbrow, lowbrow or “Homeland,” I movie with me. literally will talk to ...Friendship is you about anything choosing Ben that doesn’t remind me of the hulking Affleck over specter of Blackproblem sets. board that is still hanging around this campus for some reason. And so on Saturday, after recovering from the shock of hearing that we were not even a month into Fall Quarter, and after having already slogged through seven books for my classes, I elected to finish “Gone Girl” by Gillian Flynn in favor of completing any of the tasks I had set for myself for the weekend. Reading for pleasure is something I had lost upon entering college, but the premiere of the film version of this book, starring Ben Affleck, has been getting so much buzz that I wanted to join the conversation. I will spend a significant amount of time on Sunday reading pieces about “Gone Girl” instead of reading Toni Morrison, and some night this week I will definitely coerce my friends into seeing the movie with me instead of writing their papers and being good students. Because then at least we can all get into an argument about whether or not Ben Affleck was the actor for the job. Friendship is choosing Ben Affleck over problem sets.

Today, the more disreputable side to Columbus — the side that enslaved and reportedly tortured native peoples in the Americas — is widely condemned, and isn’t overlooked in the classroom. There’s been growing backlash to the holiday’s name in recent years, and in some places people have taken it upon themselves to re-label the day. Just this month, the Seattle City Council passed a resolution to celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day on the second Monday of October, rather than the federally recognized holiday. Instead of focusing the discussion on Columbus, Seattle will honor Native Americans, their culture and their contributions to the community. Earlier this year, Minneapolis adopted the same change, which was also made by Berkeley, California, in 1992. Several other states, such as Alaska, Oregon, South Dakota and Hawaii, also either offer refocused days of remembrance or do not observe the day at all. Many celebrations of Colwumbus Day now commemorate Native Americans and acknowledge the atrocities of Columbus and our early history. But the fact that we recognize these under the auspices of a day named after the very individual who commenced their persecution is wrong.
We’ve detached our observance of the holiday too much from its original intent. Columbus Day can easily be valued by what its immediate effects are on our life. Who doesn’t want a day off of work or school, if you’re lucky, to go score some sweet savings at the mall, am I right? The phrase, when resulting in such positive reinforcement, can become so devoid of meaning. Just look at the controversy surrounding the Washington, D.C., football team which goes by the “Redskins.” Thousands of fans defend the name, claiming it honors Native Americans. They are parading around a derogatory slur as a mascot. It’s hard to find any trace of commemoration or respect in this egregious act of appropriation. We’re already in the process of shifting our understanding of Columbus Day to celebrate Native Americans, their culture and achievements and those who fell victim to American colonization. They deserve commemoration and they deserve a day of remembrance not named for their antagonist. Jordan Bascom is a Weinberg senior. She can be reached at jordanbascom2015@u.northwestern.edu.

Why I’m not quite ready for a smartwatch yet Yoni pinto
Daily columnist
Fifty years ago, a phone was a way to hear someone else’s voice, allowing you to talk to someone in real time, even if you weren’t side by side. Fifteen years ago, phones were meant to connect people with others regardless of where they were. Phones were a method of carrying communication in ways that were never possible before. Today, a phone still does what it was originally meant to do: allow people to communicate. Even though the method of communication has changed a lot over the years, the simple purpose of phones has not. The difference lies in how we communicate, but the original idea remains: A phone is a way to hear someone else’s voice. Think about what a watch does. It’s supposed to give critical pieces of information at a single, momentary glance. The simplest watch gives the time, a crucial tidbit of data to organize our lives in this era of strict schedules. In September, Apple announced its new Apple Watch. To many, Apple was revolutionary as always, building a product that nobody realized they wanted. Apple fans were happy that there was a new device that would be in the market in a few months. Apple touts the Digital Crown, a crown just like one of a regular watch that allows users to control inputs. Apple also brags that the Watch allows users to communicate in new ways. The watch even allows you to send your heartbeat to other watch users. Of course, the Apple Watch has the ability to display time in pretty “watchfaces” that are customizable allowing Apple to stay true to what it believes is the original goal of the watch: to tell time. To many, a perfect smartwatch would be a tiny computer that tells time on your wrist. From this perspective, the challenge is fitting the chips and circuit board in the minimal amount of space, as well as finding a user-friendly way of controlling a device no wider than 2 inches. In this sense, what Apple has done is brilliant. They have the right hardware that makes their product a powerful tiny computer, as well as the right software that provides a user-friendly way to control it. However, a smartwatch is not just a tiny computer that tells the time. Go back to the purpose of a watch: It’s a way to get crucial pieces of information at a glance. A watch is not an input device. It is meant to consistently output simple,
easily understandable pieces of data that are relevant and useful. Any advancement in technology is meant to better the past. A smartwatch can, and should, be better than a traditional watch. However, benefits brought with new technology should not change the purpose of the original device. In an attempt to digitalize a classic product, Apple has moved away from a watch’s original purpose. Right now, there aren’t any smartwatches on the market that achieve the original purpose of a watch. Google’s Android Wear platform has been close — the way Google pushes data without user input is a first step towards a smartwatch being an output device — but it’s not close enough. Phones have changed a lot over the last few decades, but they still serve their original purpose. If watches are going to change, they should change as phones have. I’m just not interested in buying a watch that is based on constant input from the user. A watch that would give me more information than just the time at a glance would be great. Until then, I will be without one. Yoni Pinto is a Weinberg sophomore. He can be reached at ybpinto@u.northwestern.edu.

At UNC-Chapel Hill, policy requires affirmative consent for sex

CHAPEL HILL — Thousands of incoming students at UNC-Chapel Hill were asked to sign a new pledge this fall that had nothing to do with cheating or plagiarism. It was about sex. The students were promising that they understood the university’s new standard of consent — that both parties must “affirmatively agree” before engaging in sexual activity. That expectation, outlined in the university’s new sexual misconduct policy, is also sweeping public and private universities around the country. Most Ivy League campuses have adopted the standard, as has Duke University. Early this month, the State University of New York mandated a uniform definition of affirmative consent for its 64 campuses. In the most far-reaching example, California last month enacted a state law requiring any campus that receives state funds to have the standard. The “Yes Means Yes” law defines consent to require “affirmative, conscious, and voluntary agreement.” Silence or lack of resistance do not constitute consent under the definition. Like some campus policies, the California law specifies that consent must be ongoing during sex and can be revoked at any time. Additionally, a student incapacitated by drugs or alcohol cannot give consent. Supporters say the new approach to consent will clarify boundaries as college students engage in sex, and in the process, prevent some assaults and rapes. Further, they say, it may help change campus culture and cultivate a safer environment at a time of national conversation about campus sexual violence. “It’s changing how people think about it, how people talk about it (and) to get them to talk about it,” said Howard Kallem, UNC-CH’s Title IX compliance coordinator. “It’s part of that cultural shift to show that this is part of creating a healthy relationship — making it into an exciting and positive message.” Others say affirmative consent policies have good intentions but enormous pitfalls. They say “yes means yes” flips the burden of proof and could result in unfair investigations and judicial hearings. Joe Cohn, legislative and policy director of the Philadelphia-based Foundation for
Individual Rights in Education, sees major due process problems ahead, and ultimately more lawsuits against universities. “It sounds nice as a bumper sticker,” Cohn said. “But when you get down to the nuts and bolts of what it actually is, what it does, how it affects people, it’s really very dangerous.” — Jane Stancill (The News & Observer)
Texas Tech expands effort to oversee campus Greek community
Texas Tech is assembling a permanent advisory board to oversee its Greek community. In an address to the Texas Tech System’s Board of Regents Friday, Juan Munoz, senior vice president and vice provost, announced the advisory board will be charged with implementing recommendations formulated by the university’s existing task force on Greek culture. “Based on the feedback that I’ve received, there is unprecedented attention on the Greek community and their behaviors,” Munoz said. The task force has been created to respond to several recent incidents involving Tech fraternities and sororities, including a student death and a party banner promoting rape. Munoz said the board will be larger than the task force and will cover a “larger swath” of individuals. He said he anticipates bringing in members from the community, as well as from various offices on Tech campus such as parking and housing. Advisory board members will be appointed through Munoz’s office. Their terms will vary, he said, to ensure there is always a quorum. The existing task force is currently working to create recommendations for education programs and oversight of the Greek community for the upcoming fall semester and beyond. Munoz said he hopes the permanent board will begin their work with implementing these recommendations. The task force held its first meeting Wednesday. Munoz said much of the work centered around creating a common vocabulary for each of the members. During the address, Regent Rick Francis stressed the importance of involving the various alumni groups associated with Tech’s greek organizations. The office has not yet been named, Munoz said. — Blake Ursch (Lubbock-Avalanche Journal)

suggested right before launching into “Dark Doo Wop.” The band, which has been compared to Florence and the Machine, played a varied set before ending with its hit, “Hurricane.” During set changes, A&O projected tweets from audience members who included #AOBlowout in their posts. “The biggest change from last year was that we had this awesome Jumbotron and that we had a lot of visuals,” A&O chairwoman Tracy Kopulsky said. NU announced the scoreboards upgrade last June. Right before Big Sean came onstage, NU Ski Trip announced that this year’s trip will go to Copper Mountain in Colorado. Ski Trip partnered with A&O to promote Blowout. The crowd’s excitement grew when Big Sean entered. With the rest of his band behind a light board, the rapper rarely stood still, opting to dance, bounce and “swerve” around the stage. “He brought incredible vibes to Welsh-Ryan,” Kopulsky, a Communication senior, said. “The whole crowd was having an amazing time. He was really

His set featured his own music as well as other songs on which he was featured. “I think he did well,” Weinberg senior Adrienne Jenq said. “A little tiny part of me was hoping Ariana (Grande) would show up.” Big Sean and the popular singer are rumored to be dating. Toward the end of his set, Big Sean shared the stage with another rapper for a song and, later still, brought a lion mascot wearing a Detroit Redwings jersey to the stage, adding another meaning to his repeated “Go Cats” exclamations. During his performance of “Don’t Like.1,” Big Sean summed up his feelings toward his audience. “Northwestern, Chi-Town that’s that s— I do like.” lydiaramsey2015@u.northwestern.edu

Cats’ road struggles continue against Ohio State No. 24 Northwestern
By ZACH MOORE
the daily northwestern
No. 22 Northwestern’s (13-4, Big Ten 3-3) road woes continued Saturday as the Wildcats lost to Ohio State (13-5, Big Ten 4-2) in four sets in Columbus, Ohio. The Wildcats are currently 1-3 on the season in other teams’ home arenas. NU got off to a slow start against the Buckeyes. This has become a trend for this Cats team. In the middle of the set, the Cats made untimely errors that opened the door for the Buckeyes. Ohio State capitalized on the NU mistakes, pulling away late in the set. The Cats rallied, but it was not enough to overcome the deficit. Northwestern gave away the first set 21-25. In the second set, coach Keylor Chan brought in back-up setter sophomore Caleigh Ryan. Ryan entered the match for only the sixth time this season after setting for the Cats last season. Ryan jumped right in and ran the system very well. The Cats racked up three straight points, all by senior Yewande Akanbi. Errors once again plagued the Cats at the end of the second set. With a 23-21 lead NU suffered an error that gave the momentum back to OSU. The Cats still had the opportunity to win the set while up 24-23 before a crippling service error by redshirt junior Caroline Niedospial. The Buckeyes followed the error with 2 points that included a big block by sophomore

Taylor Sandbothe. The Cats dropped the set 24-26. In the first and second sets combined, NU had more kills than OSU but accumulated 5 errors. The Cats came out of the break re-energized. NU cleaned up their game in the third set and took command of the set quickly. Redshirt senior Katie Dutchman turned it up another level. Dutchman had 10 kills and no attack errors through three sets. The third set was all Cats. NU pulled away and kept the lead this time around. The tempo of the offense was fast-paced, and Ryan’s impact was evident. The Cats won the set 25-17. After opening the fourth set down 2-5, Chan reinserted freshman setter Taylor Tashima, despite Ryan’s strong play. The substitution did not have the same effect on the Cats offense as the change during the second set. It did not take long before Chan went back to Ryan at setter. No matter which setter the Cats went with, they could not stop the Buckeye attack. The lead grew to 17-9 before an NU timeout. The Cats ran out of steam in the fourth set. NU surrendered the set 17-25, ending the match in four sets 21-25, 24-26, 25-17, 17-25. No. 24 Northwestern joined No. 9 Nebraska Invitational next week, Wildcats coach April Likhite looked at Saturday’s race as an opportunity to test her team’s depth. As such, with several top Northwestern runners sitting this meet out, the Cats scored 138 points on their way to a fifth-place finish at the Lucian Rosa Invitational. The meet was hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Parkside in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The race included 25 women’s teams and more than 250 runners.

MINNEAPOLIS — After two steps forward, Northwestern took a big one back Saturday. The Wildcats (3-3, 2-1 Big Ten) lost 24-17 to Minnesota (5-1, 2-0) at TCF Bank Stadium, killing the good vibes from the team’s upsets of Penn State and Wisconsin the past two weeks. The critical play for the Golden Gophers was Jalen Myrick’s 100yard kickoff-return touchdown with 7:19 to play in the fourth quarter. The return gave Minnesota a 7-point lead immediately following a game-tying NU touchdown. Poor coverage on Myrick’s gamewinning touchdown was the most dramatic of several NU special teams miscues, including an 11-yard punt and a kick return dropped out of bounds. Those issues, plus several key penalties in the first half, proved a major difference. “I don’t think it was anything glaring” coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “We made little detail mistakes today that probably don’t show up on the stat sheet but are big, difference-making plays.” The Cats’ final hopes were snuffed out when senior receiver Kyle Prater dropped what could have been a firstdown on fourth-and-3 with 2:23 to play and NU down 7. Before the decisive kick return, the Cats had tied the game with one of the their best drives of the season. NU advanced 97 yards for a touchdown, with senior quarterback Trevor Siemian peppering the field with pinpoint throws and eventually sneaking in the score from 2 yards out. Siemian threw well overall Saturday, completing 32 of 50 passes for 269 yards but missing several receivers downfield. NU’s biggest gain of the day was a 21-yard screen-pass, and the Cats produced only three plays
of 15 or more yards. “I don’t know how many explosive plays we had,” Fitzgerald said. “I don’t think we had any, offensively. Or very few. We’ve got to make more explosive plays.” Of the deep balls Siemian did attempt, one was caught but called back on a penalty, one was overthrown and one was dropped. In the second half particularly, the quarterback appeared more comfortable to throw short passes and check-downs. “We tried to go over the top a lot,” Siemian said, “but they had a good pass rush, so you can’t hold back and squeeze the ball and let the plays develop too much.” Freshman running back Justin Jackson continued his progression toward stardom, gaining 106 yards on the ground and 50 more through the air. Jackson scored NU’s first touchdown, on an 11-yard swing pass from Siemian early in the second quarter. The Golden Gophers reached the end zone on two of their first three drives, scoring on two Mitch Leidner quarterback sneaks at the goal line. Leidner, who entered the day with only 529 passing yards on the season, threw for 153 yards Saturday on 10-of-15 passing. The Cats failed to capitalize on Leidner’s one major mistake — a third-quarter interception to NU cornerback Nick VanHoose — gaining only five yards and punting after taking possession at midfield. The Cats contained Minnesota running back David Cobb, who needed 30 carries to rack up his 97 yards and never broke free for the type of big play that plagued NU last week against Wisconsin. Entering Saturday, NU sat on top of the Big Ten West with an easy schedule ahead and a division title in sight. But those hopes evaporated as Myrick hit the hole on his kick return and effectively vanished as the speedster outran VanHoose to the end zone. “It was just bad assignments for our kickoff team,” VanHoose said. “We just didn’t do our jobs. That’s what it comes down to: guys doing our jobs.” asputt@u.northwestern.edu

Despite solid Siemian, passing game not enough for victory By BOBBY PILLOTE
daily senior staffer @BobbyPillote
MINNEAPOLIS — Trevor Siemian had probably his best game of the season against Minnesota, and Northwestern still lost. The senior quarterback completed 32 of his 50 passes for one touchdown and one interception on the final heave of the game. Considering he only took two sacks along the way, that’s a very respectable stat line. But midway through the season it has become clear that Siemian cannot carry this Wildcats team to victory. “We threw the ball obviously not well enough to win the football game,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said after the loss. NU’s game plan seemed to break down during the second and third quarters after Siemian struggled with the accuracy of his deep ball.
Offensive coordinator Mick McCall fed his signal caller a steady diet of short throws and screen passes, resulting in too many plays in third-and-manageable situations that ended up just short of the first down marker. The Cats converted just seven of their 17 third - down chances. True freshman running back Justin Jackson was once again the best offensive player on the field, but trailing for most of the game NU was only able to call 32 designed runs. The Cats had a chance to win by controlling the ball and keeping the score manageable, but that slipped away as the mistakes and miscues piled up. “Sometimes we played well enough to win,” Jackson said. “Other times we shot ourselves in the foot. … We (regressed) in this game.” That was most true in the receiving corps, where a lack of focus came back to haunt the team’s pass
catchers. “There were one, maybe two throws he’d like to have back,” Fitzgerald said of Siemian. “I think we had about four or five drops.” It seems that midway through the year, NU has flipped the preseason script. Fans and writers alike thought this was going to be a breakout year for Siemian, one in which he took advantage of the bevy of weapons around him. Instead the product on the field has been a grind-it-out, defensiveoriented team. The Cats can still win any of their next six games, and still have a good shot at making it to a postseason bowl, but the heroics aren’t likely to come from Siemian. “I think we were forced to throw it down the stretch,” Siemian said. If Saturday is any indication, that’s not a position from which NU can succeed. robertpillote2017@u.northwestern.edu

Northwestern suffered a frustrating loss against Big Ten powerhouse Wisconsin on Sunday afternoon. The Wildcats (5-7-2, 1-6-1) looked to secure their second conference win but could not deliver against the tough opponent. The Badgers (12-2-1, 6-2-1) have one of the best records in the Big Ten, with losses only to top teams Penn State and Michigan. The Cats’ motivation remains to climb from the bottom and gain eligibility to the conference tournament. Freshman goalie Lauren Clem and the NU defense only allowed two shots on goal in the first half, with one resulting in a goal. Despite the lack of shots on goal, the Badgers started off strong, with Cara Walls scoring off Kinley
McNicoll’s corner kick in the 17th minute of the game. It was McNicoll’s seventh assist of the season. Wisconsin got to the goal again in the 68th minute through a free kick by McNicoll from 30 yards out. The end result was a score of 2-0 for Wisconsin. The Cats had a great offensive showing, even though they remained unable to convert these shots into points throughout the game. There were a number of offensive opportunities by junior Niki Sebo (three shots), sophomore Addie Steiner (eight) and freshman Maria Fayeulle (four) that had the opportunity to result in a conversion for the Cats but failed to get points on the board. The closest the Cats came to scoring was a shot by Fayeulle in the second half that barely missed, hitting the crossbar. “When people talk about soccer being a cruel game, this is one of those days where you feel like you did everything right,” coach Michael Moynihan said. The Cats had the advantage in the second half and kept a majority of play on the Wisconsin side of the field, creating a lot of opportunities for scoring.
Women’s Soccer Sean Su/Daily Senior Staffer
SOCCER STRUGGLES Junior Niki Sebo took three shots in Northwestern’s 2-0 loss to Ohio State. The midfielder was one of several Wildcats players to create offensive opportunities but fail to score.
Wisconsin leads the league in shutouts and added to their shutout record, which now totals 11. However, Badgers goalkeeper Genevieve Richard got immense pressure at the goal Sunday from NU’s offense. She had 10 saves for the day compared to an average of 3.2 saves per game, as the Cats were successful penetrating the stout Badgers back line. It was the first time this season that Richard made double digit saves. The Cats defense had an impressive showing Sunday, severely limiting the number of shots the Badgers were able to take on Clem. Despite the limited shots taken, the Badgers delivered and scored twice. NU more than doubled the Badgers in shots taken, 20-8, but were still unable to convert. The Cats travel for their next two games to face Maryland on Friday and Rutgers on Sunday. “We are a team that is creating a lot of chances,” Moynihan said. “We are going to spend time this week focusing on finishing.” taylorsheridan2018@u.northwestern.edu
