Sexual assault reports increase

NU remembers Boddupalli

By Jeanne Kuang

daily senior staffer @jeannekuang

Reports of rape and sexual assault at Northwestern rose to eight last year, according to the University’s annual safety statistics. The number, which NU made public in its 2014 Annual Security and Fire Safety Report, is higher than previous years. In 2012, three incidents of forcible sex offenses were reported at NU, the same number as the year before.

The report was released by the University last month as part of its obligations under the Clery Act, a 1990 law that requires colleges and universities receiving federal financial aid to publicly release crime data and information about campus security measures. The report details crimes reported on campus, in University-affiliated buildings away from campus and on public property surrounding campus. NU received 16 reports of stalking in 2013, half of which occurred » See Safety, page 12

City mulls smoke ban in parks By Emily Chin

the daily northwestern

An Evanston board voted unanimously Thursday to recommend to City Council expanding the current smoking ban to apply to all public parks in the city. The motion will go to City Council, where the ordinance will be voted on. Smoking is currently banned in all businesses, enclosed public areas, including schools and workplaces, beaches, children’s playgrounds,

public transit and common spaces in apartment buildings, according to the city’s website. Smoking is also prohibited within 25 feet of an enclosed area in which smoking is banned. Enforcement of the ban is on a complaint basis, and fines can range from $100 to $500, according to the city. Daniel Stein, the president of the Parks and Recreation Board, said the board got the idea for the ordinance from the Chicago Park District Board of Commissioners, who on Sept. 10 voted to ban smoking in public parks and harbors.

Boddupalli was killed in July in an alleged drunk driving accident when a car he was riding in crashed into a water-filled quarry. McCormick senior Michael Szot, the driver of the car, survived, but Boddupalli and the other passenger, Indiana University senior Sajaad Syed, drowned. Dhruv Boddupalli shared three stories about his brother, each showcasing one of his brother’s memorable qualities: his love of music, his empathy and his intellect. “Everyday when I wake up,” Dhruv Boddupalli said, “If I hear a song, if I’m walking down the street, if I hear about

war in the Middle East or about higher education or racial injustice or finance or engineering, Mihir had something to say about every one of those things because he knew a little bit about every one of those things. He was a deep, deep thinker and I can never get that back. It’s just hard to think like him.” The memorial, which was held outside Norris University Center, was organized by McCormick senior Brad Winters, Associated Student Government executive vice president Erik Zorn, Dean of Students Todd Adams » See Vigil, page 12

Peer listening service to restart By Sophia Bollag

The NU Listens pilot program will restart its call-in peer listening services Sunday night. The service, which allows Northwestern students to call anonymously to talk to a peer listener, will operate fewer hours than it did when its pilot program began at the start of Spring Quarter. Now the

service will operate from 8 p.m. Sunday nights through 2 a.m. Monday mornings and 8 p.m. Monday nights through 2 a.m. Tuesday mornings. Last quarter, the program operated during the same hours three nights a week. NU Listens will also alter its quarterlong training process for new listeners to include more role-playing exercises and to address a broader range of topics that might come up during conversations with » See listen, page 12

LGBT figures talk history, activism By Hal Jin

the daily northwestern

Several distinguished figures in the LGBT community spoke on the importance and challenges of recognizing LGBT history Thursday at a local bookstore. The presenters honored historical figures in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender history and talked about their own work in the field in front of an audience of about 12 at Bookends & Beginnings, 1712 Sherman Ave. The event was part of LGBT History Month, which observes the history of civil rights movements for gender nonconformity and non-heterosexual orientations. John D’Emilio, prominent LGBT historian and retired professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, argued that knowing LGBT history is crucial in understanding how best to lead the movement. “The history of LGBT taught us that the greatest change happens when activists highlighted change, not normalcy,” D’Emilio said. “We’ve also seen through history that the benefits of identity movements, be it LGBT, women’s rights, racial injustice, are unevenly distributed.”

D’Emilio also expressed disappointment with the general unfamiliarity toward LGBT history. “All 40 of my students know about the gay pride parade at the end of June,” he said. “They think it’s just a celebration … only two knew that they are in memory of the Stonewall riots.” Presenters told stories about several LGBT pioneers. LGBT author Tracy Baim paid tribute to prominent Chicago activist Vernita Grey, while fellow author Owen Keehnen spoke about Bill Dry (Weinberg ’69), the student who started the Northwestern Gay Liberation Front in 1970. Filmmaker Mary Morten, sister of drag performer Terri Livingston, shared her current work in filming a documentary about Livingston. These tales are similar to the memorials presented at Legacy Walk, an outdoor museum in Chicago that remembers important LGBT people in history. The Legacy Walk is a part of the Legacy Project, founded by presenter Victor Salvo. Salvo said he wanted to celebrate these important figures in history and their diversity in nationality and ethnicity. Speakers said the LGBT movement shouldn’t stop after the recent victories in marriage equality.

“Once the LGBT community got marriage in Canada, many organizations folded because they didn’t know what to do next,” Baim said. Keehnen said non-discrimination employment acts should be tackled next, along with poverty. “We tend to be on the lower end of the income curve because people sacrifice their jobs to go do alternative work for the movement or try to find jobs out of the spotlight,” he said. Audience member Larry Lesperence, adviser of the Gay Straight Alliance at John Hersey High School in Arlington Heights, shared his own difficulties in the discussion session at the event. Lesperence said he is unable to take his club to see the Legacy Walk because the parents of GSA members needed to sign a release form, an impossible arrangement for a club that is comprised mainly of closeted LGBT people. Other audience members also said they were interested in promoting LGBT history. Deborah Scott, who came to the discussion with her wife, is planning to start a LGBT history course at Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, a participatory learning community offered through Northwestern for older, often retired, members.

Police arrested the man at the store around 8:15 p.m. The Chicago man, 20, had tried to take two bottles of Grey Goose Vodka and a six pack of Pepsi out of the store without paying, Parrott said. The items were valued around $57. The incident was recorded on security video, police said. The man was charged with misdemeanor retail theft.

On Campus New RCB budget plan limits account balances By Annie Bruce

daily senior staffer @anniefb13

A new Residential College Board plan will prohibit member colleges from keeping more than a certain amount of funds in their accounts at the end of each academic year. The plan, which limits the account balance to 1.5 quarters’ worth of dues, is intended to improve spending efficiency and hold residential college treasurers more accountable. In the past, some residential colleges had excesses of close to an entire year’s worth of dues remaining in the account, said Kai Huang, vice president of financial affairs for RCB. With the new reforms, any extra money will go toward RCB to hold larger events for all students. After meeting with members of Residential Services and the Residence Hall Association in the spring, RCB proposed an updated plan to limit the amount of money remaining in residential college accounts to 1.5 quarters’ worth of dues. Huang said members of the board helped formulate the new plan after Paul Riel, executive director of Residential Services, noticed an excess amount of money in residential college accounts. Huang said the proposal, which was adopted this week, will take effect immediately. Residential colleges will now need to spend the money in their accounts to get the total down to the required amount. “This is all part of the reform to make RHA and RCB run more effectively and just make the on-campus experience for everyone that much better,” the McCormick junior said. “I think it’s really important that we make sure that each year the dues that students pay in to that college that year are spent on those students.”

Extra funds resulted from small savings that built up over the years in each account, Huang said. Treasurers will also make budget plans and quarterly and yearly reports to avoid excess funds in the future. “These excesses don’t just come up out of nowhere,” Huang said. “This was years in the making. So even though we put in this new cap … a lot of the plan is just about letting the treasurers know that they need to really push for this zero-balance budget.” Huang said residential colleges typically

reserve money during Spring Quarter to invest in larger events in the fall and winter and the new 1.5-quarter limit will help colleges continue that pattern, while also ensuring most of the money is spent. Riel said he has not formally received a proposal from RHA yet but believes they will come up with a similar model for residence halls. He said the new plan will ensure the social fees students pay with their housing cost are used more effectively. “My concern was that we weren’t using that money wisely nor were we putting it back into students,” Riel said. “We just want to be good stewards of the money students provide.” annebruce2015@u.northwestern.edu

Students should help select diversity administrator CORETTA LEMAITRE

DAILY COLUMNIST

Dona Cordero, assistant provost for diversity and inclusion, recently announced her resignation from Northwestern. Her role on campus encompassed the overseeing of institutional diversity efforts as well as several new initiatives, including the NU Best Practices forum. She also chaired the University Diversity Council, which includes faculty, students, staff and alumni. As many in the student body are aware, changes are happening at both the individual and the institutional level, some of which were initiated by Cordero. Currently, as mentioned in the provost’s email about Cordero’s upcoming transition,

undergraduate curricular initiatives are underway to expand learning opportunities about diversity. Beginning with Wildcat Welcome, where new students attend a Diversity and Inclusion Essential NU, and continuing throughout the rest of their time at NU, students are encouraged to share their own experiences and listen openly to those of others. These conversations offer indispensable opportunities to reduce prejudices and foster mutual respect among students. Not only does our campus community benefit as a result, but students carry this attitude of tolerance and respect with them as they return to their homes and travel all over the world. Yet discussions about diversity and inclusion on our campus are hardly restricted to those discussions that happen at the Diversity Council and other panels. Projects such as those directed towards the increasing awareness of microaggressions exist all over campus in varying degrees of

organization. Tumblr pages are used as an arena to discuss the effects of class on life as a student. Frequently, incredibly deep and significant discussions, not only about individual-level but institutional-level improvements to address inclusion issues, take place at the lunch table or lounges. Unfortunately, these concerns aren’t always communicated to the administrators, whom are capable of implementing policies. While certainly instrumental in personal growth and the improvement of understanding between students from diverse backgrounds, this insulation of ideas means that institutional policies and programs fail to always reflect issues pertinent to academic and social wellness at NU. As a new assistant provost is chosen during a nationwide search, don’t let your opinions go unheard. As an ambassador for whatever policies help NU grow as an inclusive and diverse institution, the assistant provost can only truly function

if he or she knows what issues are important to our student body. So, when an email or a poster suggests that a panel is “open to students,” that means you. No one else on campus has your experience or your insights, and to create a community that continues to develop and improve, we need to know what lies at the heart of NU students. Over the next couple of months, use the opportunity you have to send suggestions, for both members of the search committee and for individuals to fill the position, to diversityandinclusion@ northwestern.edu and help shape the development of the Northwestern community over the coming years.

Medill should expand international opportunities HEIWON SHIN

DAILY COLUMNIST

In my first Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing class, we went around in circles answering the question: why journalism? Just about everyone gave answers like “I want to change the world” or “I’ve always wanted to be a journalist” — scaring the bejesus out of someone like me, who had only decided to try out journalism two months before. Frankly, I was thinking if journalism didn’t fit me, I could just as easily do something else. No pressure. So given my somewhat lighthearted commitment, such conviction and work ethos made me feel bad about being there. Like I wasn’t qualified enough. Fast forward to the present. Thursday was the mandatory meeting for sophomores to discuss journalism residency programs. JR is kind of the epitome of training to be a journalist because it allows students to stay with a media outlet for a quarter and be part of the actual team. We have four options: broadcast, magazine, marketing and news. It’s only been a little over a year since I came to Northwestern, but already Medill is making great strides. Previously, students on JR could not work, but now they can, a change that better fits the needs of low-income students. Medill students also now have the chance to go on international reporting trips to Germany and Israel, broadening their spectrum of international opportunities outside of JR. This is definitely a strengthening addition to the existing programs and opportunities, like the Eric Lund Global Reporting and Research Grant, which allows students to explore and share their findings on a topic of their choosing. I saw the outcome of these grants when I went to presentations covering topics such as the mental health system in China or witch camps in northern Ghana. Hearing from people who have actually gone out of their way to put themselves in a completely foreign environment and culture to investigate different stories inspired me to try and broaden my own horizons as a journalist. What would be even better for Medill students would be to make international experience more feasible. One way could be

loosening the strict study abroad policies. Medill does not accept any journalism credits from outside NU, which makes it difficult to plan long stays, like an entire year. While I appreciate Medill’s structure, I think that even by accepting two outside journalism credits, Medill could encourage students to venture abroad. Last year I took Journalism 202, where we discussed what role journalism has and how it differs around the world. But the best way to actually learn about these differences is through experience, like the experience students get on JR. By studying journalism in another country, students can meet journalists there and learn from their experiences. In an international media age, the next logical step for Medill students is for them to be where the action is. I recently came across an Al Jazeera article from last year comparing Malala Yousafzai and Nabila Rehman that made it clear that in an information-overload era, the role of journalism is even more important. Malala, as we know, is a symbol of education for girls and of activism who recently became the youngest Nobel Prize winner. Nabila, most people may not know, is a young girl who traveled to the U.S. to testify before Congress on the consequences of U.S. drones, specifically, how she watched her grandmother die before her eyes. What the article pointed to was that although Malala is perfect for U.S. politics because her experience justifies U.S. involvement in the country where she has been a victim of injustice, Nabila is a victim of American action. With social media, it’s easy to share stories. But often, whether we realize it or not, we share what others share and hence get a more closed view. Perhaps the media, aware of which issues are popular and which are not, may contribute to closing off public awareness on issues. I never heard about Nabila until a few days ago. To truly be a global leader in the journalism industry, Medill should lead students to question the status quo. Over the past year I’ve assumed a role as a journalist, writing opinion columns for The Daily and designing for STITCH and Scene+Heard. Before, I wasn’t sure about the power of journalism. Often I hear that journalism is a dying field. But now, hearing back from people responding to my columns makes me realize that even I could make a difference by making people more aware of their surroundings or issues. The phrase “to change

the world” is still a little overwhelming to me, but I have found confidence in myself and my role as a journalist. Medill has been a great home for me to grow as a person and as a journalist, but it could be doing more by encouraging study abroad opportunities and further pushing students out of their comfort zones. In today’s

evolving media landscape, global journalism experience is invaluable. Heiwon Shin is a Medill sophomore. She can be contacted at heiwonshin2017@u.northwestern.edu. If you would like to respond publicly to this column, send a Letter to the Editor to opinion@dailynorthwestern.com.

D65, health center to educate schools on bullying, sexual assault

Evanston/Skokie School District 65 is partnering with a local health care center to bring behavioral and bullying intervention workshops to students and parents. After successful workshops last year with sixth graders to discourage bullying, Skokie-based Turning Point Behavioral Health Care Center will again bring staff to the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Literary and Fine Arts School in the fall to meet with students, the center announced Wednesday. The training in November will teach students at King Lab, 2424 Lake St., about how to think about,

identify and manage issues related to both bullying and sexual harassment, Turning Point CEO Ann Fisher Raney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to target various kinds of bullying for the ways that students might hurt each other,â&#x20AC;? Raney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Either knowingly or not knowingly â&#x20AC;Ś and how they can intervene and stop it, let somebody know, feel stronger about being able to notice, respond and change the situation.â&#x20AC;? Along with educating older children in bullying, the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff will also target parents of younger students in how to deal with disruptive behavior, Raney said. Staff will host workshops through December for parents of students at Oakton Elementary School, 436 Ridge Ave. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parents certainly need to support their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth and development,â&#x20AC;? Raney told The Daily.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always trying to find the least destructive themes or the most constructive themes of resolving issues that come up between people.â&#x20AC;? Studies have shown that violence, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physical, sexual or verbal, is affecting children at a younger and younger age, Raney said. Turning Point wants to ensure that students feel â&#x20AC;&#x153;empoweredâ&#x20AC;? and know where to turn to for help, she said. The relationship that has developed between District 65 and Turning Point is one that should only continue to grow, Raney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a community mental health center like ours to partner with the school district is a really, really positive thing for the community,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this community partnership is really critical. We want to do more of it.â&#x20AC;?

City seeks community input for Fountain Square renovation

The city is soliciting input on the upcoming renovation of Fountain Square, the small plaza downtown near World of Beer. The comments will help to develop four possible concepts for Fountain Square to be presented in early 2015, the city said. Suzette Robinson, director of public works, said at a City Council meeting in September that a redesign would fix the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failing infrastructure and poor usability. Residents can leave their suggestions at one of the colored mailboxes located in the square or at one of the participating businesses that have a sign on their front window. Members can connect with the city on Instagram to share their ideas. Residents can also submit drawings of their proposed designs on â&#x20AC;&#x153;coloring pagesâ&#x20AC;? provided by the city. The current Fountain Square, which includes Sherman Plaza, Sherman Avenue â&#x20AC;&#x201D; between Church and Davis streets â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and adjacent landscape areas, was constructed in 1976, according to Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation to City Council. In the past, the square has been used for Veterans Day and Memorial Day services, in addition to festivals and celebrations. Once the square is renovated, it will still serve as a veterans memorial and incorporate a fountain centerpiece, according to the news release. The city hopes its Halloween and Harvest special events, which take place from Oct. 25 to Oct. 27, will give residents a chance to brainstorm ideas for the fountain. As community members gather for the events, they can come up with ways to improve the square. The coloring pages, which can be found at the Evanston Public Library, the Evanston History Center and online, can be submitted during the scheduled events. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Stephanie Kelly

Alumnaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gift to support Deering renovation, athletic department

A Northwestern alumna has promised a significant donation to support University Library, undergraduate scholarships and the athletic department, the University announced Thursday. The donation is part of the We Will campaign, a $3.75 billion University fundraising initiative. A large part of the commitment will aid an extensive renovation of Deering Library, where donor Leslie Devereaux (Weinberg â&#x20AC;&#x2122;64) frequented as an undergraduate student. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are deeply grateful for Ms. Devereauxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generosity over more than three decades,â&#x20AC;? said Sarah Pritchard, Dean of Libraries and Charles Deering McCormick University Librarian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her support has helped make the Library the outstanding resource it is today for the entire University community.â&#x20AC;? The renovation efforts will focus on maintaining the 82-year-old buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Collegiate Gothic design, while updating its resources with technology and new â&#x20AC;&#x153;learning spaces.â&#x20AC;? Renovations made in 2012 reopened the Deering entryway with wheelchair-accessible ramps, better climate control systems and a security system. Future plans for the library include â&#x20AC;&#x153;restoring the stained glass and conserving the classic woodwork, carvings and other artworkâ&#x20AC;? in addition to improving the security of collections, the release said. The gift will also be put toward digitizing hundreds of hours of film in the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Football Films Collection. The collection includes footage of key moments in Wildcat history, such as the 1949 Rose Bowl game. As a longtime fan of NUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletics programs, part of Devereauxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution will also go toward the Department of Athletics and Recreation. At NU, Devereaux was a member of the Alpha Phi sorority and was treasurer of the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Athletic Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive board. Today, she is president and treasurer of the Richard C. Devereaux Foundation, named after her late father. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My college years were among the most influential and memorable of my life,â&#x20AC;? Devereaux said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is my hope that my gifts will contribute to an extraordinary experience for current and future Northwestern students.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Olivia Exstrum

A psychology and psychiatry professor spoke to members of the Northwestern community Tuesday night about the benefits of meditation on well-being and happiness. Richard J. Davidson, who teaches at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, spoke at a crowded Pick-Staiger Concert Hall as part of the Northwestern Symposium on Mind and Society. During the event, he discussed the ability of the brain to change itself through mental practices. His experience with meditation includes daily self-practice dating back to the the 1970s and research with the Dalai Lama. Davidson told the audience about his research on brain activity during meditation, which involved taking MRI scans of experienced Tibetan monks. The scans indicated the monks’ brains were undergoing periods of insight and focused attention while they meditated. The Dalai Lama encouraged the neuroscientists on Davidson’s team to use tools to study the effect of kindness and compassion on the brain, Davidson said. When the researchers played sounds of suffering while the practitioners were meditating, they found the region of the brain linked to emotion and empathy was amplified. “I think we come into this world with this fundamental preference,” Davidson said. “Now this preference is something that requires nurturance, and the way that I think of kindness and compassion is very similar in the way that I think of language. We all come into the world with an innate passion for these skills but that requires an open community in which the skills need to be nurtured and nourished.” Davidson then spoke about his current project, the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The research center developed the “Kindness Curriculum” which teaches preschool students

about mindfulness, empathy and behavior that encourages proactive social engagement. He suggested college students experiment with meditation as well, touching on his own experiences with the practice. “It enabled me to not be so bent out of shape by disappointment and disruptions,” he said. “It is a long term process — it’s not going to be instantaneous.

Davidson, “(Students) can professor at use really short periUniversity of ods of practice and Wisconsin- Madison sprinkle it throughout the day and this can help them with academic stress and challenges of everyday life,” he said. Weinberg junior Tiana Hickey, who attended the event, said she found Davidson’s speech interesting but did not feel immediately compelled to take his advice. “I think that the fact that there is actual evidence that mental training leads to different changes in your brain is inspiring, especially hearing it as a Northwestern student who is pretty stressed,” Hickey said. “But I think I’ll be applying the mental strategies from his speech more in my free time than with work.” Psychology assistant Prof. Robin Nusslock, who introduced Davidson during the event, said meditation techniques need sophisticated scientific research. “I think this research has big potential,” he said after the speech. “It’s untapped right now. We’re just starting to see a shift in society towards this type of technique. The sky’s the limit.”

Cats’ defensive line boasts versatile skillsets By BOBBY PILLOTE

daily senior staffer @BobbyPillote

It isn’t easy being a defensive lineman in the Big Ten. Slippery quarterbacks, bruising running backs and massive offensive lineman all stand in the way of a defensive end or tackle doing his job. Northwestern’s Dean Lowry has been at it for three years, but the veteran is unfazed by the hurdles that lay between him and a successful stop. “It’s definitely tough, they’re all very physical,” the junior defensive end said. “In practice we stress technique and making sure we stay low and come off the ball well. If we do what we do, which is play with great technique … we can handle any line in the conference.” Things seem all the more daunting for (My size) true freshman Xavier challenges me Washington. The defento use other sive end is listed at a scant 6-foot-1 and 235 assets. That’s pounds, which means what I’m trying most of the lineman to do now, just he’s trying to get around have at least 50 pounds find dfferent on him. Even some ways to beat quarterbacks could claim some size over the people. pass-rush specialist. Xavier “(My size) challenges Washington, me to use other assets,” defensive end Washington said. “That’s what I’m trying to do now, just find different ways to beat people, because I know I don’t have the same weight as everybody else, but I have explosiveness and speed.” The defensive line, perceived as a potential weakness heading into the season because of the loss of All-Big Ten defensive end Tyler Scott to the NFL and senior defensive tackle Sean McEvilly to injury, has persevered by leaning on its depth, mixing size with speed and seasoning with inexperience. As a group, the line helped sack Penn State’s Christian Hackenberg four times and held

STOPPERS Sophomore defensive end Ifeadi Odenigbo is part of a versatile Northwestern defensive line that has thrived both in passrushing and against the run in recent weeks. The Wildcats will face another challenge Saturday against Nebraska running back Ameer Abdullah.

“

Minnesota’s David Cobb to 3.2 yards per carry. Next on the docket: Ameer Abdullah. Nebraska’s running back is widely considered the best in the Big Ten after Heisman hopeful Melvin Gordon of Wisconsin. Through six games this season, Abdullah has already racked up an impressive 878 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground. Coach Pat Fitzgerald indicated during practice this week that, once again, a good defensive line rotation would be vital in countering the opponent’s strong rushing attack. “We’ve got to fit things right in the front seven,” he said. “(The defensive line) has practiced really well for two days, so hopefully they’ll continue it through tomorrow and through the weekend.” Slowing down Abdullah — because you can’t truly stop him — is a tall order, and with younger players like Washington in the mix, the leadership

of veterans such as Lowry and senior defensive tackle Chance Carter is even more important. “We’re definitely trying to be leaders to the younger guys,” Lowry said. “It’s just about coming together, having great chemistry and having great cohesiveness, and I think that we’re getting there.” That mentorship is especially important when it comes to one of a defensive lineman’s most difficult tasks: recognizing a play-action pass. It was on these fake runs that Minnesota was able to pick up big chunks of yardage a week ago. “(It’s) just trying to slow down and think about everything that’s going on every play,” Washington said of his biggest challenge. “It’s pretty tough, but you have to stay on top of it.” For Lowry, experience was the best remedy. “It comes with practice and playing through spring ball,” he said. “You just have to get used

to it … and hopefully when you get out there it’s natural.” But nobody has a surefire answer for how to handle a player as talented as Abdullah. “We’ve played three good backs the past three weeks,” Carter said. “(Abdullah) can make you miss. … It’s going to be hard to tackle the little guy, he’s pretty good.” It’s sure to be a back-and-forth battle in the trenches all day long, but fans can expect a little bit of flair when the Wildcats inevitably break through for a big sack or tackle for loss. “I know (sophomore defensive end) Ifeadi (Odenigbo) is really big on sack celebrations,” Lowry said. “We always enjoy having celebrations … having fun out there, making plays and just doing it together.” robertpillote2017@u.northwestern.edu

JUSTIFIED Freshman running back Justin Jackson has emerged as Northwestern’s de facto starting running back, leading the team in carries each of the last five games. The Carol Stream, Illinois native rushed for a career high 162 yards against Wisconsin and 106 a week later against Minnesota. He is on pace to be the second NU running back ever to accumulate 1,000 yards rushing as a freshman.

By JOSEPH DIEBOLD

daily senior staffer @JosephDiebold

Justin Jackson was supposed to be this good. When the freshman signed his National Letter of Intent on Feb. 5, he brought with him a laundry list of accomplishments: 5,783 yards and 73 touchdowns over his last two seasons at Glenbard North High School, two consecutive Gatorade Illinois Football Player of the Year trophies and a consensus four-star recruiting ranking. What Jackson wasn’t supposed to be was this good, this fast. Six games into his Northwestern career, the Carol Stream, Illinois, native has surpassed even the wildest expectations. On a team where most freshmen redshirt, he has become the de facto starter at running back, leading the Wildcats in carries in every game since the season opener. Perhaps most impressively, with 506 rushing yards through six games, Jackson is on pace to become just the second player ever at NU to top 1,000 yards in their freshman season. Off the field, Jackson — whose Twitter handle, @J_ ManPrime21, contains a reference to “Prime Time,” the nickname of former NFL cornerback Deion Sanders — exudes a quiet confidence. “I have a high expectation of myself,” he said. “If I don’t perform well, I’m disappointed in myself.” On it, it is his toughness and vision that shine through. He is neither the biggest nor the fastest back, but his ability to find small creases in the defense has separated him in NU’s back-

field. “I think he’s shown exactly what he was in high school, a very dependable guy,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “He’s running tough. He knows his

strengths. He doesn’t try to outrun everybody around the corner. He’s tough and he’s physical.” Indeed, Jackson won’t have anyone confused for the departed Venric Mark, the last NU rusher to top 1,000 yards. Where Mark danced and juked, Jackson seems to glide, letting his eyes lead him where the defenders aren’t. His longest run of the season is just 21 yards. But Jackson has compensated for a lack of explosion plays by becoming NU’s workhorse, helping to salt away wins late against Western Illinois and Wisconsin by grinding out yards. Senior Treyvon Green, who led the Cats in carries last season with 138, has just 21 in the last four games. And Jackson has put up a zero in a crucial stat for running backs: fumbles. One boost to Jackson’s transition from college? Instead of redshirting or playing solely on special teams, he has earned the same feature back role he had in high school. “You kind of get ahead of the game because that game experience, there’s nothing like that,” the running back said. “You can simulate things in practice, but there’s nothing like that game experience.” Senior tackle Paul Jorgensen said he has seen Ja ck s on c ont i nu e to improve even in his short time in Evanston. “It’s pretty cool to see him progress since the start of camp. He was a freshman coming in, trying to make his mark, and now he’s hitting the hole and making plays out there,” Jorgensen said. “It’s really refreshing up front to have a guy like that in the backfield who can make plays like that, reverse the field on a play this past weekend and pick up yards when you didn’t think he was going to get any.” In the long, winding decades of college football, certain schools have become known for churning out talent at various Luke Vogelzang/The Daily Northwestern positions. The list of Penn State’s WIDE-EYED Freshman running back linebackers or USC’s quarterJustin Jackson has found holes with backs is full of All-Americans his eyes on his way to a strong first and future NFL players. NU half of 2014. Jackson has compiled hardly has the illustrious hisimpressive yardage despite having no tory of those two schools, but carries for longer than 21 yards. if the Cats can claim a specialty at any position, it would surely be running back.

Two of the three NU players to ever receive Heisman Trophy votes played running back: Damien Anderson, who ran for 537 yards as a freshman and then exploded with 1,128 as a sophomore and 2,063 as a junior, and Darnell I have a high Autry, who rushed for 1,785 yards in 1995, expectation leading NU to a Big Ten of myself. If I championship and Rose Bowl appearance. don’t perform Jackson is also folwell, I’m lowing in the footsteps of Tyrell Sutton, who disappointed in set the school record myself. for rushing yards by a Justin Jackson freshman with 1,474 in running back 2005. Fitzgerald has been careful not to put his budding star on a pedestal. Every piece of praise for Jackson’s tough running has been joined by cautions that NU is bringing him along slowly and that he needs to improve as a pass blocker. But even the passing game is coming quickly for Jackson. On Saturday against Minnesota, he recorded a career high in catches and scored his first receiving touchdown. The Big Ten announced Monday that Jackson had been named the conference Freshman of the Week. The latest test for Jackson and the Cats’ running game comes on Saturday, when No. 19 Nebraska comes to town. The Cornhuskers are allowing just 3.8 yards per carry to opposing running backs and have ceded just one 100-yard rushing game in six games this season. “Bo (Pelini’s) defenses are always tough and physical,” Fitzgerald said. “You’re going to have to earn every inch you get. They don’t give you anything.” On the other side of the ball, NU will once again have to stop one of the nation’s top runners. Two weeks after the Cats faced Wisconsin’s Melvin Gordon, Nebraska’s Ameer Abdullah brings his fourth-in-the-nation rushing total to Evanston. But Jackson isn’t focused on outdoing his counterpart in red and white. “It’s never that. You’re just trying to go out there and play, play for your team, play for your guys, just get that win,” he said. “Most of the time, that’s a byproduct of getting a win is having a good game.” On his current trajectory, it won’t be long before Jackson is mentioned alongside names like Gordon and Abdullah among the best in the Big Ten — and the country. But it is a long season, and Jackson would not be the first freshman to come in quickly and hit a wall before the end of the year. As much as anyone, the freshman knows how bright his future is. For now, he, like his coach, is keeping things modest. “I know I’m not going to be at the top of my game — what I’ll be when I’m a senior — now,” he said, “But I want to be the best I can be with my capabilities at the moment.”

Cats not taking advantage of weak Big Ten ROHAN NADKARNI DAILY SPORTS @ROHAN_NU

The slide in the top of the Big Ten has been discussed at length. Aside from an exciting showing from Michigan State in the Rose Bowl last season, there hasn’t been much to write home about in recent years for the conference that still fancies itself as a national powerhouse. (Let’s not forget, the Spartans’ success was also the conference’s loss, knocking Ohio State out of a potential National Championship game.) The more intriguing question for those who follow Northwestern is where the conference’s dip leaves the Wildcats. Although the program is seemingly on the rise, a kind of “one year away from being one year away” team, NU’s lack of success in a soft Big Ten leaves a lot to be desired. First and foremost, it’s difficult to judge the Cats’ recent “success” knowing that traditional Big Ten powerhouses — the Michigans, Penn States and Ohio States — have been dragged down due to poor coaching, off-field scandals or both. Only the Buckeyes look primed to bounce back, not coincidentally with a super-successful former SEC coach at the helm. As a result, there’s no reason NU shouldn’t be expected to have more campaigns like it did in 2012, winning 10 games in a season as the Cats avoided Ohio State and Wisconsin on the schedule. It’s tough to justify last season when NU failed miserably in conference play. This season, the West division is up for grabs. Even with the loss to Minnesota, the Cats can bounce back against Nebraska and still put themselves in a position to control their own destiny down the stretch. At this point though, it’s hard for me to expect less. It’s one thing for NU to go 7-5 or 8-4 when Michigan and Ohio State are trotting out Chad Henne and Troy Smith, but for the Cats to fail to capitalize on a weak conference is extremely disappointing. It’s why you’ll hear coach Pat Fitzgerald pump up

MISSED OPPORTUNITY Though the Wildcats find themselves in decent shape in the Big Ten West, NU has failed to capitalize on a significant down-period for the conference.

the Big Ten whenever he gets a chance. It’s why when, after a disastrous non-conference start, it was fair to ask Fitzgerald if his team would win a conference game, then be quickly reminded how fickle this conference actually is. At the current rate NU is going at, it doesn’t make sense to discuss the team in any sort of national conversation, when quite frankly, it can hardly factor into a pretty casual Big Ten conversation. How much rope will Fitzgerald get? He’s far from

a turning point or crossroads in his career. I don’t foresee that happening any time soon. The crutch of academics and facilities (at least for a couple more years) will always be there for him, though oftentimes (see Carmody, Bill) that crutch is only enough for so long. But to settle for a mediocre team in a mediocre conference does not seem much better than a belowaverage team in a great conference. As fun as it is to make fun of Vanderbilt, who I’m shocked hasn’t

written us a letter asking us to go easy on them, is NU that much further along than the Commodores were under James Franklin? A win against the Cornhuskers means the Cats can still chase some big dreams this season. Another loss however, another mediocre season, and I think it’s fair to start asking, what happens to NU if the Big Ten becomes as good as it thinks it is? rohannadkarni2015@u.northwestern.edu

History center hosts lecture on jewelry shop By Peter Kotecki

the daily northwestern @peterkotecki

The Evanston History Center hosted a lecture Thursday on a 20th-century Evanston jewelry shop and its relation to the arts and crafts movement. Curator Mary McWilliams came as a part of the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under the Buffaloâ&#x20AC;? presentation series, which is in partnership with the Evanston Public Library, according to a news release. The presentation, which focused on the Cellini Shop, is the second installment of the lectures that focus on society after World War I. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Cellini Shop was a family business in Evanston for over 60 years,â&#x20AC;? said Jenny Thompson, the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The shop was beautiful, distinctive and unique to Evanston,â&#x20AC;? Thompson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Evanston residents) were proud to have this beautiful handmade business in the community.â&#x20AC;? The Cellini Shop was created in 1914 by Ernest Gerlach and Margery Woodworth and two others who wanted to focus on selling handmade jewelry and hollowware, McWilliams said. The Cellini Shop began around the peak of the arts and crafts movement, which emphasized simplicity and honesty in design and architecture. In the early 1930â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, the Gerlach family

WASHINGTONâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The Obama administration acknowledged Thursday that a U.S. official for the first time met with a representative of a Syrian Kurdish political party thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closely linked to a group on the U.S. terrorist list.

decided to distribute their products nationally, McWilliams said. They hired more workers, separated their workshop from the retail shop and proceeded to expand on their success. At the time, the Cellini Shop was the only place to sell decorative aluminum hollowware in the Chicago area, she said. Aluminum was discovered in the early 19th century, but there was no way to use it economically. During the Great Depression, however, hammered aluminum became readily available and was cheaper than silver products, which led customers to purchase more aluminum products than ever before, McWilliams said. Aluminum items became a popular choice for wedding gifts and many people went on to call hammered aluminum â&#x20AC;&#x153;Depression silver.â&#x20AC;? The Cellini Shop thrived on peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in hammered aluminum, and their products increased in creativity as they began selling aluminum toasters, chairs and lamps, McWilliams said. Pieces produced by the Cellini Shop were distributed to customers in silver boxes, which were embellished with the profile of Benvenuto Cellini, a 16th century goldsmith who served as an inspiration for the Gerlach family. The Evanston History Center also held an exhibit on the Cellini Shop and the Arts and Crafts movement in conjunction with the presentation. peterkotecki2018@u.northwestern.edu from the main Kurdish political party in Syriaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Democratic Union Party, better known by its Kurdish acronym as the PYDâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to discuss the U.S.-led fight against the Islamic State.

From page 1 students who call in, said John Dunkle, the executive director of Counseling and Psychological Services, who oversees the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The changes this year are because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a small program,â&#x20AC;? said Caroline Spiezio, NU Listensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; training chair and a Medill sophomore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We cut it down to two nights so we can focus on making it better right now while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small so we can grow it into a very amazing organization that can help as many students as possible on Northwesternâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campus.â&#x20AC;? NU Listensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; director Tiana Hickey, a Weinberg

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17,2014 junior, said the program has about 10 listeners this quarter, and she hopes at least 15 will be working by the beginning of Winter Quarter. Although the group does not release the number of students who call in to avoid deterring potential callers, Dunkle said the service was used by students last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gotten a lot (of calls), but again weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re piloting,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another avenue for students to get access to services â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to have multiple avenues.â&#x20AC;? Currently, Dunkle serves as the primary adviser for the group. However, he said in the future the group needs a dedicated staffer who can devote time to the

program. The University provided funding to hire three new CAPS psychologists in 2013, but did not provide funding for an NU Listens staff member, a position Dunkle requested. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to need someone who has dedicated time to really oversee the service â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to do training, to do recruitment,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A peer listening service plays a really important role for students who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily reach out to mental health professionals as a first step.â&#x20AC;? A sophomore who works as a listener for NU Listens told The Daily he believes sharing concerns with a peer instead of a professional makes the conversations more â&#x20AC;&#x153;informalâ&#x20AC;? and makes it easier for students to

seek help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It allows people to have immediate support at a time when other resources might not be open,â&#x20AC;? he said. Because part of the listenersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; job requires that they remain anonymous, the sophomore requested that his name not be used for this article. He said he joined NU Listens in order to contribute to the culture of helping others he has observed at NU. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really nice to listen to people who need or want an outside ear,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve needed support before, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to pay it forward.â&#x20AC;? sophiabollag@u.northwestern.edu

Smoking

Stein said. Stein brought the idea to the board to decrease the amount of smoking in Evanston, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that we should take Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead and do every bit as much as what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing,â&#x20AC;? Stein said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to make a stand on it.â&#x20AC;? Additionally, much of the litter on beaches in Evanston is cigarettes, another issue prompting the new ordinance, said Marcus Casady, a Park and Recreation board member. David Campbell, another board member, said CVSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; move to stop selling cigarettes last month also spurred the decision to expand the ban. The proposed ban will likely spur dialogue and discussion about the issue, said Joe McRae, director of parks, recreation and community services and deputy city manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are constituencies that smoke, and constituencies that do not, so they both are probably going to have an interest in this,â&#x20AC;? McRae said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be deliberation.â&#x20AC;? Other board members said the main

Safety

From page 1 in campus residences, three reports of domestic violence and no reports of dating violence. The University began reporting these crimes for the first time last year under the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. University Police Deputy Chief Dan McAleer acknowledged that sexual assault is underreported. From June 2013 to May 2014, 78 students received services at the Center for Awareness, Response and Education, NUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advocacy office for sexual assault survivors. Since CARE was established in September 2011, the office saw 137 students total, according to the Campus Coalition on Sexual Violence. McAleer said most studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reports of sexual assault are not relayed to UP directly. Instead, they

problem with the ordinance would be in its enforcement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a handful of things over the years that we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t addressed because we worry

about enforcement,â&#x20AC;? Stein said.

come from Campus Security Authorities, certain University employees who are mandated by the Clery Act to report crimes reported to them. CSAs include residence hall officials, coaches, student group advisers and other staff members who have â&#x20AC;&#x153;a day-to-day interaction with students,â&#x20AC;? McAleer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The blessing is we get a better idea of what the sexual violence picture is on campus,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other side of the coin is if we have someone thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sexual predator out there, we may not be getting enough information.â&#x20AC;? Most sexual assault incidents are reported without specific enough information for UP to investigate the crimes, and survivors often prefer to remain anonymous, McAleer said. Stalking reports also often come from CSAs, McAleer said, adding that offices that offer

counseling, such as CARE and the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center, do not report incidents to UP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whether (stalking is) underreported based on the number we have for 2013,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My concern is always hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a situation in which â&#x20AC;Ś the police can be really helpful stepping in.â&#x20AC;? Overall crime was down from 2011 to 2013, with burglaries decreasing from 46 to 16. In 2013, there were five reports of robbery, two reports of aggravated assault and four reports of vehicle theft. According to a June report from the U.S. Department of Education, reported crimes at colleges across the U.S. have dropped overall between 2001 and 2011, except sexual assault, which rose slightly.

and the Chaplainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office. University President Morton Schapiro and Vice President for Student Affairs Patricia Telles-Irvin were also in attendance. Winters, who attended high school with Mihir Boddupalli, shared stories from their time on the high school cross country team and as brothers of Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity. Winters said his friend motivated him to apply for a summer research opportunity and apply to NU. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very â&#x20AC;&#x153;He did so much clear that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for me and with every subsequent step that had an indelible I take in my life and mark on the every achievement lives of many, I have, I know I will always remember many people. that Mihir was a part of that and he was one Patricia of the reasons that Telles-Irvin, was able to happen,â&#x20AC;? vice president for he said. student affairs Telles-Irvin also spoke at the event, passing along stories she heard about Mihir Boddupalli from his friends. After the event, she said the high turnout was evidence of his impact on the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very clear that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had an indelible mark on the lives of many, many people,â&#x20AC;? she told The Daily. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the thing that struck me the most was not only his intellect, but more importantly, his empathy and his ability to help people out.â&#x20AC;? At the end of the memorial, attendees lit candles and observed a moment of silence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all sad, but I feel like this is an opportunity to remember the good things about him and the joy that he brought us,â&#x20AC;? Dhruv Boddupalli said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very, very proud to call him a brother and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll miss looking up to him.â&#x20AC;?

Cats motivated by recent disappointment By Max Schuman

At the Notre Dame Invitational earlier this season, against the biggest and deepest field the team had faced all year, Northwestern came away with a disappointing 12th-place finish out of 22 teams. Some individuals ran well for the Wildcats â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sophomores Jena Pianin and Andrea Ostenso grabbed top-30 finishes and showed significant improvement over their times from last year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but overall the Cats left South Bend with bitter tastes in their mouths after an unsatisfactory team showing and were unafraid to voice their displeasure afterwards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The team meeting we had was one of the most vocal team meetings weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had,â&#x20AC;? We realized coach April Likhite after Notre said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The insights that Dame that we each individual shared with each other were hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been pretty powerful.â&#x20AC;? as focused At Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PreNationals Invitational on certain in Terre Haute, Indicompetitors ana, NU sees an opportunity to redeem itself Camille Blackman, and use its recent disjunior appointment as motivation for a strong performance at a large and competitive meet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are certain teams that beat us at Notre Dame who we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to beat us again,â&#x20AC;? junior Camille Blackman said. The key, according to Likhite, is a more aggressive approach to Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race right from the beginning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get out, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get yourself in a good position, so that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not

wasting all this energy trying to catch up and bring people in,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even from the top with Andy and Jena, if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at least with that pack or that pack is very close to them, it takes the stress off.â&#x20AC;? The players echoed their coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sentiments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just such a high energy at the start of the race, so a lot of people go out fast,â&#x20AC;? Blackman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go out with this crowd in an aggressive manner, you get caught behind hundreds of girls and that really slows you down.â&#x20AC;? This meet will serve as an important test for NU on a big stage. The race, which will feature 78 other womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams, will be held on the course that will host the 2014 NCAA Divison 1 National Championship meet for the 11th time in 13 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No matter how the race goes, you can take from it that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, now I know the course for Nationals,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Blackman said. The Cats arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just looking for a taste of a championship atmosphere, though. Their plan is to make some noise in Terre Haute and gain confidence for the rest of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We realized after Notre Dame that we hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been as focused on certain competitors,â&#x20AC;? Blackman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going into this race weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a lot more focused on certain teams that we need to be with at certain points in the race and who we need to focus on beating.â&#x20AC;? For her part, Likhite is relentlessly pushing her team forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that we can do better and we need to do better,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really excited about this opportunity to really make some great things happen that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re confident weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re capable of doing.â&#x20AC;? maxschuman2018@u.northwestern.edu

Freshman Snarski leads Cats’ victory in opener By TYLER KENDALL

the daily northwestern @tylerskendall

Northwestern won its season opener 161-139 against Eastern Michigan on Thursday night. Key contributions came from freshman Alex Snarski, who finished first in the 100 and 200 backstroke and 200 individual medley competitions. “Alex Snarski had a great meet,” coach Jarod Schroeder said. “As a freshman to come in and win every event that he swam was pretty exciting to see. Hopefully there are bigger and better things to come.” Schroeder noted freshman Almog Olshtein, who won the 50 free, and breaststrokers junior Van Donkersgoed and senior Uula Auren, who won their events. Junior Jordan Wilimovsky also won two of his races. “It was a really fun event, though I was a little nervous going into it,” Snarski said. “But I’m really excited because it’s a whole new level from high school swimming and club swimming.”

Schroeder said he hopes the freshmen will continue to contribute to the team’s success. “We just have a lot of talent in our younger class,” he said. “So hopefully they continue to improve and get better every meet that we have.” Despite the win, Schroeder said that he sees where the team needs improvement, such as being more aggressive on the front half of longer races. “I thought that we were probably a little more rusty than we should be,” he said. “It was a good win but I think we still have a long way to go. Most of these guys haven’t been off the blocks racing since August so they’re a little rusty. Hopefully as we move through the season we do a little better, and get a little bit crisper with our racing.” The Wildcats will be at home next Saturday against UIC and Oakland, followed by a bye week for the team to take time and focus on the season ahead. “We had some great swims today,” Schroeder said. “But I don’t think we were a great team, and we have the potential to be a great team.”

Northwestern forward Nia Coffey was named to the coaches’ preseason All-Big Ten team, the conference announced Thursday. The sophomore, who averaged 15.3 points and 8.1 rebounds per game last season, was left off the media’s all-conference team. At Big Ten Media Day on Thursday, Coffey said she focused on shooting during the offseason and has been working with a dietician to improve her eating habits.

She has that humbleness, and she wants to get better every day.” — Alex Putterman

NU visits Rutgers looking to bounce back Year two

for Collins ups stakes

No. 19 Northwestern vs. Rutgers

Alex Putterman

Piscataway, New Jersey 6 p.m. Saturday

After seeing a month-long unbeaten streak crash to a halt on Tuesday at No. 11 Notre Dame, No. 19 Northwestern (6-2-4, 1-1-2 Big Ten) aims to start a new streak when it heads east Saturday to take on Big Ten newcomer Rutgers (4-7-1, 1-3-1 Big Ten). The Wildcats appeared to be hitting their stride prior to the Notre Dame game, winning their first two contests of October over Maryland and Northern Illinois, but hit a wall against the reigning champions in South Bend on Tuesday. The Irish used a stingy defense to limit the Cats to just five shots. “It’s a long season,” NU coach Tim Lenahan said after the loss. The Cats will continue to press forward as they enter the final stretch before the Big Ten Tournament. Despite the disappointing results Tuesday, the Cats’ defense continued to look robust in the loss. NU has not allowed more than 2 goals in a game all season. “The defense plays great,“ senior goalkeeper Tyler Miller said. “The whole team on this unit is really defensive-oriented. The back four

For decades, Northwestern basketball has strived for one over-arching goal, one coach Chris Collins was hired 17 months ago to address. “When you take a program over, a coach is going to have a lot of goals. His is very centered,” Ohio State coach Thad Matta explained at Big Ten Media Day on Thursday. “It’s not like, ‘Hey, we got to win the Big Ten or we’ve got to do this or we’ve got to that.’ It’s, ‘We’ve got to make the NCAA Tournament.’” Collins’ purpose resonates more clearly than that of any other Big Ten coach. When he leaves Evanston, he will have succeeded or failed, with little room for in-between. With that backdrop, Collins begins his second season helming the Wildcats. Year one produced few conclusions: NU looked terrible, figured itself out, skidded to the regular season finish, then upset Iowa in the Big Ten Tournament. The campaign was neither embarrassing nor impressive, and which descriptor it fell closer to didn’t matter. In video-game franchise modes, you simulate year one and implement your own players and strategies for the next season. But in real life, you can’t skip year one. It feels almost perfunctory, but it happens. Without year one, you can’t reach year two and year three, when the results mean something analytically and the plan begins to succeed or fail. Because now that year two of the Collins Era is upon us, we can start judging his performance on the path toward that ultimate goal of an NCAA Tournament berth. Seven of NU’s 13 players are newcomers. How the old-guard plays still somewhat reflects the recruiting of former coach Bill Carmody, but how the new guys progress directly falls on Collins. Luckily, year one wasn’t a total loss. Collins suffered from his inexperience but learned along the way. He said Thursday it took 16 games, about half the season, for the Cats to discover their identity as a slow-paced, team. “When I look back on year one, there were mistakes that were made by everyone,” the coach said. “I made mistakes, players made mistakes, but at the end of the day I feel like from day one from when I first got the job to today when I’m sitting here, we’re in a better place as a program.” Collins’ ability as a coach and program-builder certainly can’t be evaluated on the upcoming season alone. But the results of games and — more importantly — the performance of players, will hint at the true direction of the program in a way they didn’t last year. Year two won’t bring an NCAA Tournament bid, but it might offer some answers about when to expect one. Matta, for one, thinks Collins will accomplish the big goal some time soon. “You look at the laws of probability,” Matta said. “It’s going to happen.”

GETTING DEFENSIVE Senior goalkeeper Tyler Miller and the defense have carried Northwestern all season. “The whole team on this unit is really defensive-oriented,” coach Tim Lenahan said.

especially, they really work hard to keep it shutout.” For an NU team that has struggled at times to put up big offensive numbers, the play of the defense is essential. “We have a great goalkeeper,” Lenahan said. “We’ve got veteran center backs, we have two warriors at the defensive midfield position.” In Piscataway, New Jersey, NU will face a Rutgers team fresh off its best scoring output of the season: a four goal eruption Tuesday in a victory over

Penn. The Scarlet Knights had managed only 2 goals in the four contests prior. The Rutgers game is the third in a stretch of five consecutive road contests for the Cats. While the Cats has been consistently strong at home, going 5-0-1, they’ve had some issues on the road, including the loss at Notre Dame. All told, NU has a 1-2-3 record away from the friendly confines of Lakeside Field. On the other hand, Rutgers has been far from dominant at home,

owning a 3-5 record in Piscataway. NU has a chance to both start a new unbeaten streak and get its series with Rutgers off on the right foot; the meeting will be the Cats’ first ever with the Scarlet Knights. NU can get back to its winning ways and open up a 1-0 lead in the new series with a road win on Saturday. Julian Gerez contributed reporting timothybalk2018@u.northwestern.edu

NU returns to Michigan to face Big Ten foes By Claire Hansen

the daily northwestern @Claire_Hansen_

No. 9 Northwestern (10-4, 4-0 Big Ten) is gearing up for another big weekend in Michigan where it will face Big Ten opponents No. 14 Michigan (9-5, 4-1) and Michigan State (7-6, 2-3). Last weekend, the Wildcats dominated Central Michigan 4-0 after being narrowly defeated 2-1 by No. 3 Stanford in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This weekend, they hope to leave the state undefeated. “We are expecting some huge games and we’re really excited,” sophomore Isabel Flens said. The Cats will play Michigan at 6 p.m. Friday at Ocker Field in Ann Arbor. Newly renovated Ocker Field was the site of the NU-Stanford matchup last weekend. The Cats’ experience on the new turf, coach Tracy Fuchs commented, will prove to be hugely valuable. “We’ve had two practices and a game, and we’ll have another two practices,” Fuchs said. “I think it’s going to be very beneficial.” Ocker Field will also be the home of the Big Ten Championships, which take place in early November. “It’s still really bouncy and not as fast as it will be,” Flens said. “It was really good to get out there already and play a game and see what it does for us.” Regardless of the turf conditions, the Cats are expecting a fast, intense match against Michigan. “They press pretty hard, they have a

lot of energy and a lot of speed,” junior Lisa McCarthy said. “They’re relentless. They will play for a full 70 minutes.” A big focus for NU this weekend will be penalty corners. Execution of corners has been a point of emphasis for the team all year. This weekend, Fuchs said, the team aims to raise their penalty corner execution over twenty percent. Not only will the Cats need to be able to convert on their corners, they will have to stop Michigan’s attempts in the circle as well. “They have some great penalty corners, maybe the best I’ve seen all year,” McCarthy said. “We are really going to need to limit the number of penalties we have in the circle.” In the midfield, the team aims to penetrate down the field using the sidelines. “They’re really strong down the middle,” Fuchs said. “If we are going to have success, we are going to need attack down the sides.” Despite working a bit on their press, the Cats don’t plan to make any major changes in their game. “We’re just making little adjustments,” Fuchs said. “Communicating

on defense, really playing possession hockey and being poised when we come up with the ball.” This offensive poise will also be critical Sunday morning when NU faces Michigan State in East Lansing, Michigan. The Cats beat the Spartans 2-1 on the road last year and expect another close game this time. “Michigan State is a team that you can never count out,” McCarthy said. “They’ve had some losses, but they’ve also come up with some wins that, on paper, they maybe shouldn’t have had.”

Flens echoed her teammate’s sentiment. “It’s always a tough game against Michigan State,” Flens said. “They’re good all over the field.” The Cats, however, are as excited and confident as ever. “If we play Northwestern field hockey,” McCarthy said. “it’ll be a good outcome.”
