NU linebacker suspended after Ohio arrest
Wallace Shawn speaks on plays, privilege
about his interactions with Gerhartsreiter and how he discovered Gerhartsreiter’s past. In 1998, Kirn and his then-wife Maggie Kirn lived in Montana. Kirn said Gerhartsreiter called his wife, who worked at the local Humane Society, and expressed interest in adopting a paraplegic dog that had been nursed back to health. Kirn said he and his wife agreed to put the dog up for adoption and Gerhartsreiter asked Kirn to deliver
A Northwestern football player has been suspended from the team after being arrested in connection with underage intoxication early Sunday morning, according to the Hamilton County Justice Center. Redshirt freshman linebacker Brett Walsh was stopped with a Cincinnati Bearcats football player during a breaking and entering investigation and displayed behavior “consistent with being intoxicated,” according Hamilton County Municipal Court documents obtained by the Cincinnati Enquirer. Both Walsh, 19, and Marcus Tappan, 19, were charged with disorderly conduct while intoxicated, possession of a fake ID and underage consumption, a Hamilton County Justice Center officer said. Coach Pat Fitzgerald released a statement Sunday afternoon. “We’re disappointed to learn of the events that were reported to have taken place this weekend involving Brett Walsh, “ he said in the statement. “He has been suspended immediately. We hold all of our student-athletes to a high standard that was apparently not met in this instance.” Walsh, a California resident, and Tappan were released from Hamilton County Justice Center on Sunday afternoon. Walsh was released after posting $650, which was 10 percent of his $6,500 bond. Tappan’s bond was set at $2,500 and he posted $250. Walsh’s bond was higher because Tappan has an in-state address, an intake officer at the Hamilton County Justice Center said. Walsh will be arraigned in Hamilton County court on Monday at 12:30 p.m. The Wildcats did not have a game this weekend and will face Iowa on Saturday.

Actor, playwright and activist Wallace Shawn spoke at Northwestern on Sunday night about his plays and his beliefs about privilege. Shawn, who is known for his acting roles in “The Princess Bride” and “Gossip Girl” and his voiceovers in “Toy Story,” spoke to a full audience at Cahn Auditorium about the political messages in his plays and his personal journey to understanding his own views. “Reading and then traveling leads to thinking,” he said. “Thinking about some of the realities we face.” American society is ignorant to the mistreatment of poorer people in the world, Shawn said. He included himself in the accusation that the “privileged” often enjoy things while overlooking the misery of others. The Chicago Humanities Festival, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary, hosted the speech as part of its fourth annual Morris and Dolores Kohl Kaplan Northwestern Day.

Author gives Chicago Humanities talk on his friendship with convicted killer By Peter Kotecki
the daily northwestern @peterkotecki
Author Walter Kirn spoke at Northwestern on Saturday about his memoir chronicling his friendship with a man who turned out to be a con artist and a convicted murderer. As part of the Chicago Humanities Festival, Kirn spoke to a packed Harris Hall about his book “Blood Will Out,” which tells the story of his connection with Christian Gerhartsreiter,
who went by the name of Clark Rockefeller. Gerhartsreiter’s captivating demeanor fooled Kirn and many others for years, the author said. CHF executive director Phillip Bahar said this was the fourth annual Morris and Dolores Kohl Kaplan Northwestern Day and commended this year’s lineup. “It’s always inspiring to partner with our Northwestern colleagues and, most specifically, the Alice Kaplan Institute for the Humanities,” Bahar said in an email to The Daily. During the event, Kirn talked
New OFSL director hopes to strengthen community By Emily Chin
the daily northwestern
Cynthia Rose, Northwestern’s new director of fraternity and sorority life, said she thinks being a part of Greek life can be the most influential piece of a person’s life. “It can reclassify your values, it can introduce you to new and different beliefs, different levels of diversity and different opinions,” she said. “It can honestly make a person a better person.”
Rose, who started at the University last week, said she is on a “big listening tour” as she gets to know the NU community. For the next few weeks she will meet with students in the Greek community to hear what they want to accomplish, she said. Rose became interested in fraternity and sorority life when she was an undergraduate at Drexel University. At Drexel, she was president of her sorority, Delta Zeta, interned in the fraternity and sorority office and won national awards for her work in the Greek community.

“I immediately realized that this had the potential,” she said, “not just me realizing that this was a good thing for a transfer student to make friends, but for me to be an amazing leader, to make an impact on something.” After graduating from college, she worked at the University of Missouri in residence life, which prompted her to go to graduate school at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where she earned her masters in student affairs. Following graduate school, Rose oversaw Greek life at many colleges, most recently at

Northeastern University. “I really just bought into completely the fraternity and sorority community,” she said. “It’s been a constant theme in my career.” She decided to apply for position at NU because she didn’t get to experience much of the Greek life aspect of the job at Northeastern, she said. “I wanted to give back,” Rose said. “I wanted to allow students to have the unbelievable experience that I had.” Rose said she focuses on building relationships when she works with students.
She still speaks on the phone every week with the Panhellenic Association president at Rollins College, where she worked from 2010 to 2012. Weinberg senior Kyle Sieber, president of the Interfraternity Council, said he has not yet had the chance to meet with Rose at length. “I am looking forward to getting to know her and to working with her to continue to strengthen the Greek and IFC communities,” Sieber said in an email to The Daily. emailhere@u.northwestern.edu

City Council and staff held a public hearing on the 2015 budget Saturday to address resident concerns and further explain the proposed plan. During the special meeting, city officials gave residents an update on infrastructure improvements and the details of a proposed capital improvement plan. Aldermen also introduced plans to implement various tax levies. Two ordinances would levy a property tax on funding for the Evanston Public Library and the nonprofit Downtown Evanston. The third ordinance will levy a tax for the city’s general operations and general assistance funds, the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund and the Police and Fire Pension Funds. Residents spoke both in favor and against the levy for the annual property tax for EPL, which would increase the funding given to the library in 2015. “It is deplorable that an institution that serves a diverse community so well must suffer such financial distress,� resident Deborah Abbott Kisor said. The library is requesting $7 per $100,000 of tax value, Kisor said. “Considering the library’s outstanding programs for children, teens, adults, its book and library and online collections, its free services,� she said, “where else in the world could you get more bangs for seven

bucks?� However, some residents raised concerns over the levy. “They just don’t have any urgent needs that the library needs to extend the tax rate for,� resident Mike Vasilko said. Vasilko said he thought the surplus money from the 2014 budget should be given back to taxpayers, but city manager Wally Bobkiewicz said the leftover funding is being used to pay off the city’s debt. Aldermen voted 6-1 to pass the introduction of the library tax levy ordinance with Ald. Ann Rainey (8th) dissenting. Council voted unanimously to introduce the other proposed ordinances. City officials presented the proposed capital
improvement plan, which has a budget of more than $43 million. The funding will go toward projects to improve streets, water systems and sidewalks. The city is on target to finish all the projects from 2014, said Sat Nagar, a city engineer and the assistant director of Public Works. The rest of the projects that need to be completed will be done within the next two weeks or so, he said. However, longer term projects will carry over to next year, he said. “We are very comfortable with how we’ve proceeded,â€?

‘Rosewater’ journalist speaks on Iran imprisonment By MICHELLE KIM
the daily northwestern @yeareeka
Maziar Bahari, a journalist who was detained in Iran for 118 days in 2009, spoke at Northwestern on Friday night after hundreds of students watched an advance screening of a film based on his experience. The screening of “Rosewater,” held in a packed Ryan Family Auditorium, was hosted by the Medill Undergraduate Student Advisory Committee and A&O Productions. Afterward, Bahari told the audience about his time in prison during a questionand-answer session moderated by Medill Prof. Jack Doppelt. The movie, written and directed by “The Daily

Across Campuses U.S. Sen. Tester accuses Stanford, Dartmouth of ‘voter manipulation’; demands funding disclosure U.S. Sen. Jon Tester on Friday accused two prominent colleges of “voter manipulation” for their role in a mailer sent this week to 100,000 Montanans, in connection with two Montana Supreme Court races. Tester, in a letter to the presidents of Stanford University and Dartmouth College, also demanded they disclose the funding for the research project
Show” host Jon Stewart, was based on Bahari’s life and his memoir “Then They Came for Me: A Family’s Story of Love, Captivity, and Survival.” The movie is expected to be released in theaters Nov. 14. Bahari was working as a Newsweek correspondent covering protests after the 2009 Iranian presidential election when he was arrested and held in Evin Prison in Tehran, Iran. Iranian intelligence officers accused Bahari of being a spy, using a mock interview he did for “The Daily Show” to support their claims. In jail, Bahari was brutally interrogated, and the international community loudly demanded his release. Now a human rights activist, Bahari spoke about authoritarian regimes’ methods of controlling the people they imprison. “One of the techniques of authoritarian regimes and dictatorships is to make (people they imprison) insecure about their tomorrow, about their future and
about their livelihood,” he said. “My interrogation didn’t have anything to do with what I did. It had to do with what they wanted me to say.” Bahari said memories of his family helped him in prison. His father and sister had been imprisoned before for being members of the Communist Party. They inspired a sense of social consciousness in him, Bahari said. He also spoke about the “psychological battle” he faced in prison and said he believed his cultural background allowed him to sustain hardships. “In that battle, I thought that I should be the winner because I had lived the richer life,” he said. “I had been more inclusive, more open to new ideas, doubted more things, watched more films, read more poetry and books and listened to different music.” Bahari also expressed optimism about Iran’s future, calling it a “young country” where “people
are educated.” A&O co-chair of films Eliza Abramson told The Daily that organizers put on the film event because they believed it represented a variety of student interests. “We reached out to film and journalism students, but also multicultural groups, social justice groups and student government,” the Communication junior said. “We really tried to bring lots of different people into this event.” Medill sophomore Nida Bajwa said hearing Bahari speak strengthened her desire to pursue international journalism. “It really reaffirmed my desire to talk to people on the ground who are part of the citizen’s movement, a rebellion coming from the masses,” Bajwa said.
Kelly O’Donnell an award for her professional success. The 2014 Alumnae Award, which she will receive on Nov. 13, “recognizes a woman who has brought honor to Northwestern University through outstanding professional contributions in her field and who has attained national recognition,” according to a news release. O’Donnell (SESP ‘87) has been with NBC News
for about 20 years. She has reported around the world for NBC and now works as a Capitol Hill correspondent. Her work on the 2008 presidential campaign earned her an Emmy. “She joins a distinguished group of women from such diverse fields as business, education, journalism, music, medicine, theatre and public service,” said Janet Bilandic (Kellogg ‘84), Alumnae board president, in a news release.
The Alumnae of NU, a volunteer organization, has presented the Alumnae Award to different outstanding graduates since 1976. Recent recipients include anthropologist Johnnetta B. Cole (Weinberg ’59, ‘67) in 2013, actress Marg Helgenberger (Communication ‘82) in 2012 and journalist Bonnie Anderson (Medill ‘77) in 2011.
that sent the mailer and said he’s asking federal postal authorities to investigate. “The Montana Supreme Court rules on matters relating to every walk of life, from water rights to relations with Indian Nations to clean air and water,” Tester wrote. “Your institutions may have now influenced these decisions by meddling in our elections.” Stanford spokeswoman Lisa Lapin said Friday the research project that sent the mailer is funded by a $250,000 grant from the Hewlett Foundation and a matching $100,000 grant from the university. Tester’s letter is in response to a one-sheet mailer sent earlier this week to 100,000 Montanans, titled
as a “2014 Montana General Election Voter Information Guide.” The mailer, which said it’s funded by researchers at Stanford and Dartmouth, rates the four candidates in two Montana Supreme Court races as “more liberal” or “more conservative” and tells Montana voters to take the guide to the polls. Montana Secretary of State Linda McCulloch, who is in charge of election law, filed a complaint Friday with the state political practices commissioner, saying the mailer violated several state laws. Tester also labeled the mailer as part “of a socalled research project that uses Montana elections as a political laboratory experiment, at the expense
of free and fair judicial elections in our state.” The mailer labels two candidates in one race — Supreme Court Justice Jim Rice and his challenger, W. David Herbert — as “more conservative.” It labels the candidates in the other race differently, calling Supreme Court Justice Mike Wheat “more liberal” and his challenger, Lawrence VanDyke, “more conservative.” The Wheat-VanDyke race by far is the more hotly contested race, with both sides attacking each other and at least four outside groups spending more than $800,000 trying to influence the outcome.

Tinder, midterm elections aren’t mutually exclusive Madeline burg
Daily columnist
Once again I’m here to draw your attention to the unique phenomenon that is the millennial generation. Being part of it, I find it hard to move within the world and not feel like the experience is defined quite a bit by society’s perception of my peer group. Think pieces pile up about how to relate to millennials, what being a millennial means, how to understand these alien beings that communicate with emojis and seem to subsist on a diet of full seasons of “Grey’s Anatomy” and whatever GrubHub can provide. Some pieces mercilessly pick out our worst attributes to demonstrate why we’re undoubtedly the end of civilization —Vanity Fair’s “How to Deal with Millennials in the Workplace” video, played for comedy,comes to mind. But some pieces are genuine explorations of a new type of person growing up in a new type of world. Not that every generation isn’t unique or unquestionably shaped by the shifting currents of life. Baby boomers had the Vietnam War and The Beatles. We just have Vine celebrities and the concept of live tweeting. I really do believe that technology has shaped millennials in a way that no other thing has shaped any other generation. We are different, not necessarily better or worse. Never before has crafting a mask to show to the public been so easy as in the age of social media. We can easily live two intertwined lives, one of them on the Internet, a virtual space where real interactions happen, where real connections can be made. Tailor your life to appear any way you want it. Instagram only the most aesthetically pleasing cookies you ever make, because if you’re not Martha Stewart in real life, on social media you can make yourself look like you are. It’s strange and cool and very new and no wonder those who came before Grindr and Yik Yak are confused and possibly a little scared. So when I watched that clip of Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle telling me, a 21-yearold female, to kindly move away from those voting booths and get back to my social media, I felt sad for her. After my initial reaction of fury tempered with derision at general narrow-mindedness, of course. Nobody tells me what to do, Kimberly. Also, when is it ever a good idea to tell any group of Americans not to exercise their constitutional rights? But it’s been a few days (Guilfoyle’s
Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Current Population Survey, 2012
appearance on Fox News’ “The Five” was last Tuesday) and I’ve weathered my rage storm. On a segment about the turnout of women in this season’s midterm elections, the panel discussed the age range of women that vote in the polls. Guilfoyle’s own opinion is that young twenty-something women, “healthy and hot and running around without a care in the world,” do not have enough life experience to be able to vote. “They don’t get it;” they should be “excused” so that “they can go back on Tinder or Match.com,” said Guilfoyle. Match.com? Really Kimberly? Tinder is to Match.com what Facebook is to Myspace, and if you don’t get what I mean then you only confirm your low level of cultural awareness.
But this is my point: Non-millennials do not care to know millennials because of the image of ourselves we project into the Internet. This is an essential — but not sole — aspect of our identity. To know a millennial is to understand the part of us that gleefully swipes right can coexist comfortably with the part of us that cares to exercise our right to vote. It’s possible to be a person who obsesses over their follower-to-following ratio on Twitter as well as someone who cares about human rights, or clean energy or what’s going on in Gaza. My generation is in the process of perfecting a mix of studied vapidity and an actual interest in the world around us. Sure, we can believe we’re being ironic when we declare pumpkin spice lattes to be the mark

of a basic bitch and then turn around and order one at Starbucks. Because we can like pumpkin spice lattes and not be basic. We can tweet about the Kardashians and enjoy it, but also enjoy our political science classes. This is allowed. We are large; we contain multitudes. I’m not saying our way of living is the best way. But people like Kimberly Guilfoyle would benefit from just thinking about where we’re coming from. A world where Tinder and midterm elections are not mutually exclusive is more interesting, anyway.

Media coverage shouldn’t glamourize perpetrators Yoni Pinto
Daily columnist
Last week was nothing like the week before for Canadians. Two attacks took place in the span of three days against members of the armed forces in Canada, resulting in the deaths of two Canadian soldiers. Canada, a country known for its serenity, is not in the spotlight for attacks of this kind in the way the United States often is. That’s why the attacks in Canada last week were very unexpected. News outlets around the world reported the tragic events, bringing Canada into the global spotlight in the most unfortunate way possible. The events also became the focus of Canadian news coverage for the week. Major Canadian news outlets were full of stories about how the attacks unfolded, particularly the one that occurred in Ottawa, Canada, the nation’s capital. There were stories about how people reacted to the attacks, video messages by politicians and presentations on news shows. On Oct. 22, the day of the Ottawa shooting that resulted in the death of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, Canadian media outlets featured breaking news coverage of the entire event. During the coverage of the Boston Marathon bombing and the subsequent manhunt in spring 2013, American news outlets had continuous breaking news coverage
as well. Media coverage in both cases was what determined the reactions of the Canadian and American people, respectively. A significant amount of the media coverage of the Boston Marathon bombing focused on the Tsarnaev brothers who allegedly committed the attack. They received this attention because they were a public safety concern because the men were armed and at large, and the public needed to know about their actions. That was completely acceptable and understandable. However, the fact that their names and faces remained on all forms of media following the event made them a “hot topic” in the following weeks, and even months. The panic that was born with the attacks was bred into terrorism. The brothers became a part of American culture for a few weeks, managing to terrorize American people not just by bombing an event that was meant to celebrate human strength and accomplishments, but by also becoming a part of their lives. Every time they were on TV, in a tweet or on a website, they reminded Americans of how they could damage the United States. Canadian coverage of the Ottawa shooting was almost the opposite. The Canadian Broadcasting Company’s entire breaking news broadcast on Wednesday was calm and level-headed. In a situation that could have easily led to rumors and a lot of speculation, the CBC made sure to report only what was known. Although the CBC was not always the first organization to report everything that day, it was the organization that did not report any false information. It didn’t jump on the
opportunity to report “something big,” but rather consciously avoided creating panic by not reporting every plausible detail. Rex Murphy, a popular figure on Canadian TV, had a two-minute introductory segment on his program, “The National.” During the entire two minutes, Murphy talked about remembering Cirillo and the sergeant-at-arms who took down the attacker. Throughout the segment, Murphy refused to name the killer, referencing him only as a “brute.” Canadian Press’ Laura Eggertson reported that once the killer shot Cirillo, four brave bystanders rushed to his side, doing everything they could to save him. She described how they stood by him in his last moments, comforting him. Eggertson drew attention to another perspective of the story, showing the courage of Canadian people even in times of danger. After everything that happened this week, one thing stood out. What were effectively attacks meant to terrorize Canada completely failed in that regard. If anything, Canada emerged more united after the attacks. Canadians everywhere proudly remembered the lives of the fallen soldiers and honored the bravery of ones who responded to the attacks. They didn’t hear about the “brute;” they celebrated Canadian unity instead. Yoni Pinto is a Weinberg sophomore. He can be reached at ybpinto@u.northwestern.edu.

NU celebrates culture at annual Festival LatiNU By Mariana Alfaro

the daily northwestern @marianaa_alfaro
Smells from a variety of Latin American dishes filled the Louis Room in Norris University Center on Saturday night during the 14th annual Festival LatiNU, part of Northwestern’s celebration of Latino/Hispanic Heritage Month. The festival, organized by Alianza and Hispanic/Latino Student Affairs, was held to bring together people of different backgrounds, especially those with Latin American roots. “The Latino community is a strong community,” said Alejandro Magana, director of HLSA. “I think the students make it their own.” The event, which featured lively Latino music, offered more than 10 different Latin American foods and beverages including delicacies such as Venezuelan arepas and Salvadoran pupusas, and traditional drinks such as horchata, agua de Jamaica and Jarritos, a Mexican soft drink. About 350 guests attended the festival and Magana said it was a great turnout. “The hope is for students to be able to create an ambience where they will be able to flourish and fully explore their multiple identities,” he said.

Author talks city’s history of racial inequality By Hal Jin
the daily northwestern @apricityhal
An Evanston native read an excerpt of her book which explores the history of racial inequality in Evanston to a packed audience Saturday. Mar y Barr, a lecturer at (The Clemson University, grew up book is) a in Evanston in comprehensive the 1970s. Barr history of read some of her book, “Friends Evanston through Disappear: the ’70s, but The Battle for Racial Equality it focuses on in Evanston,” to the ’60s, when an audience of schools were about 100 at the Evanston Public desegregating. Library. Mary Barr, The e vent author was held as a part of EPL’s “11 Months of African American History,” which started in March and will run through
“
January. Barr, who holds a doctoral degree in African American Studies and Sociology from Yale University, said an old high school photograph was the primary inspiration for her work and is used as the cover of her book. “(The book is) a comprehensive history of Evanston through the ’70s, but it focuses on the ’60s, when schools were desegregating,” Barr said. “Essentially it’s the story of the civil rights movement in Evanston.” The picture, which shows her with around a dozen of her friends, is important to Barr because of the racial diversity of the group, she said. It currently hangs on Barr’s refrigerator door. “I was curious about everyone in the picture, where they were, what they were doing,” Barr said. “It had been more than 30 years since I had seen people in the picture. I decided to contact everyone and go to their homes and interview them.” Barr read to the audience a chapter of her book that follows the mission of Gregory Coffin, who was hired as the superintendent in 1966 to oversee and implement school desegregation in Evanston/Skokie School District 65. “He believed that true integration was about more than just mixing bodies,” Barr said. In the book, Barr describes Coffin’s direct
and abrasive demeanor that contributed to infighting between the superintendent and community members. During his career, Coffin would battle many critics who wanted him removed from his job. “The school board wanted to reshuffle kids,” Barr wrote. “Gregory Coffin wanted to change minds.” In 1969, the school board declined to renew Coffin’s post as superintendent. In a matter of days, organizations sprung up in support of Coffin, Barr said. Despite the failure to reinstate Coffin as superintendent in 1970, Barr said in the book that the uniting of the community paved the way for much of the social progress that would occur in the next decade. In the audience was Northwestern SafeRide coordinator Bernard Foster. The Evanston Township High School alumnus was one of Barr’s childhood friends interviewed for the book. “Growing up in Evanston was like growing up in our own world,” Foster told The Daily. “I didn’t experience a lot of the racism older people experienced until I moved away.” Foster said he enjoyed the reading because he was able to listen to stories that he lived himself. hjin@u.northwestern.edu

ETHS alum screens empowerment documentary By Hal jin
the daily northwestern @apricityhal
An Emmy-winning filmmaker and Evanston Township High School alumna returned to the school Friday to screen her latest documentary featuring the success of various women in their careers. Sarah Moshman, 27, showed her movie “The Empowerment Project: Ordinary Women Doing Extraordinary Things” with producer Dana Cook to an audience of about 100 at the ETHS auditorium. “We really wanted to talk about the film. It’s just a jumping-off point,” Moshman explained. “We want to keep the message special.” The film follows five female filmmakers as they travel across America and interview women who have achieved notable success in their fields. The full version of the movie includes interviews with 17 women. Moshman
and her crew talked with several notable figures, including Miss USA 2012 Nana Meriwether and Adm. Michelle Howard, the first African-American woman to achieve threeand four-star rankings in the U.S. Armed Forces. “When we were doing our research, we found that age 8 is the peak age that girls want to be a leader,” Moshman said. “That’s really sad.” Moshman has served as the field producer for 10 seasons of the television competition “Dancing with the Stars” and won a Chicago/ Midwest Emmy in the human interest category last year for her documentary “Growing up Strong: Girls on the Run.” Moshman and Cook are currently on tour with their movie making stops in Los Angeles, Seattle and Washington, D.C., Cook said. A panel discussion followed the screening, where accomplished women who work at ETHS talked about their own experiences with gender discrimination.
Gretchen Livingston, District 202 Board of Education president, spoke about her work in a male-dominated field when she was a partner at Jenner & Block law firm in Chicago. She recalled a time We want to use when she interrupted a film to empower meeting to present her research to a partner. girls and boys “The client said to ...

to being Vietnamese, a culture in which women are seen as the backbone of the family. Nguyen recalled facing discrimination in her role as kitchen manager and and discussed accusations from staff that “you let your period affect you too much.” An audience member questioned Moshman on her opinion of beauty pageants and her decision to include the Miss USA winner in the film. “In general, I don’t care for beauty pageants. I don’t favor the way they have to be put on display,” Moshman said. “(Meriwether) was so much more than that. She used it as a way to start a nonprofit and help others.” A member of the audience asked Moshman what the goal of her documentary is. “We want to use film to empower girls and boys,” she said. “This was our dream and we achieved it. Our purpose is exactly what we’re doing here. hjin@u.northwestern.edu

NU losing streak continues with 2 weekend losses By MAX GELMAN
Not even a lineup change could help Northwestern this past weekend. After losing four straight games on the road, coach Keylor Chan decided to switch things up against No. 13 Purdue and Indiana by playing two setters instead of one. The results? Two crushing five-set losses. “I think it really just makes us more dynamic and gives us a lot more options,” sophomore setter Caleigh Ryan said of the new lineup after the loss to the Hoosiers. “(Freshman setter) Taylor Tashima is an excellent hitter and I think that despite the really great volleyball we’ve played the past couple of days, the more time we practice the six-two (lineup), the more comfortable everybody’s going to get.” The Wildcats got off to a much-needed fast start against the Boilermakers, winning both of the first two sets by 25-20 scores. Attacking efficiency, something NU struggled with during their road trip, was one of the team’s strongest parts of their game early in this match, outhitting Purdue .273-.169 through two frames. NU also managed to hold off a Boilermaker

Chicago resident Sarah Ballema, 40, said she attended the speech to hear Shawn talk about his writing process as a playwright. Shawn is able to force people to confront their privilege by making the issue relevant to all, despite socioeconomic differences, she said. “He’s not just talking to the wealthy people in the audience,” she said. “When I first read (Shawn’s play “The Fever”) as a grad student taking out loans, I felt as responsible for the problems of the play as anyone else was.” Shawn asked the audience for ideas on taking action against the problems associated with privilege.

rally late in the second set behind the serving of senior Monica McGreal. However, Purdue was able to win the third and fourth sets 25-23 and 28-26, respectively. The Boilermakers won the third off a late 7-1 run and the fourth even after the Cats managed to rally from behind. Only after numerous back-and-forth rallies and a controversial call by the line judge did Purdue clinch the fourth set. A crushing blow to NU, they couldn’t recover and dropped the final set 15-11. Benefitting from the new lineup, Tashima had nine kills on the night, a career high. Sophomore Kayla Morin led the team with 22 kills, while freshman Symone Abbott added 14 and redshirt senior Katie Dutchman contributed with 12. “I really had no doubt in my mind that we could personality. “He admits that he sort of is a hypocrite in his day-to-day life, working for Hollywood, but believing in what it is he believes,” he said. Weinberg sophomore Elizabeth Meehan, a member of the undergraduate Kaplan Humanities program, said it’s important for society to study the humanities and its importance in society. “The interdisciplinary nature of the humanities is what makes it so great,” she said. “Everyone is so open, willing to share and bring ideas together in ways you’ve never seen before.” Anna Marie Wilharm, Chicago Humanities Festival marketing and PR manager, said the event was not about Shawn identifying a problem and finding a solution, but instead focused on Shawn recognizing an issue and letting the audience think critically about it. “Ultimately, after awareness, the next step lies within individuals or communities to take action,” she said. jackiemontalvo2017@u.northwestern.edu

Rolling with the same two-setter lineup, NU dropped the close first set 25-23. Indiana got off to a quick start in the second, but NU was able to rally back, tying the score at 10 because of a 10-4 run. A rare mental lapse by Tashima on a Hoosier serve that hit the net and died on the NU side of the court seemed to prove costly, but the Cats rebounded and took the second set by a score of 25-22 and evened up the match at 1-1. The third and fourth sets were also close, with NU taking the third 28-26 and the Hoosiers winning the fourth 25-23. After a 24-all tie in set three, NU

Kirn called the trip to New York “the most foolish errand of my life,” but it was the start to his friendship with Gerhartsreiter. During the next 10 years, Gerhartsreiter and Kirn interacted on multiple occasions. They remained friends until 2008, when Kirn read a news story that claimed Gerhartsreiter had kidnapped his own daughter. Authorities were able to rescue the then-7-year-old girl and capture Gerhartsreiter. After his capture, Gerhartsreiter’s past deceptions came to light.

managed to pull ahead and, with emotions running high, took a 2-1 lead. During the next set, neither team took more than a 2-point lead. Despite the tight match, the Cats couldn’t put the final nail in the coffin, and, for the third straight match, NU played in a fifth set. Tashima led the team in kills against Indiana with 14, breaking her personal high set the night before. In a scary moment in the final frame, redshirt junior libero Caroline Niedospial collided with Morin, banging her jaw against her teammate’s shoulder. Niedospial was forced from the game, and though it appeared that she could have returned, she was ineligible after being subbed out. Indiana took the fifth and final set 15-13. NU’s losing streak sits at six, its longest since an eight-game losing streak that closed out the 2008 season. “Carks (Niedospial) is the toughest kid that I know,” Ryan said. “I have no doubt that she will be back on the floor game time Friday.” The Cats will take on the Michigan Wolverines on Friday in Ann Arbor, looking to win their first match since Oct. 5. maxgelman2018@u.northwestern.edu States at the age of 17. The police also connected Gerhartsreiter with the disappearance of a couple in California in 1985. To evade the police, Gerhartsreiter had often changed his character, with different hairstyles, names and occupations. “What we think we know about each other, and what we do know, can be miles apart,” Kirn said. Gerhartsreiter was convicted in summer 2013 for the 1985 murder of California resident John Sohus. Kirn said he went to the trial, where several attendees told him they too had fallen for Gerhartsreiter’s various identities. Gerhartsreiter’s wife had no idea about her husband’s murderous and psychopathic past, Kirn said. Gerhartsreiter’s wife Sandra Boss spoke at the trial, where she said she had not suspected anything about her husband and fell for his romantic personality, Kirn said. Gerhartsreiter is currently serving 27 years to life in a California prison for first degree murder. peterkotecki2018@u.northwestern.edu

Although the Buckeyes penetrated into the circle several times during the match, the NU defense limited Ohio State to five shots on goal.

Warm temperatures, sunny skies and full stands provided the perfect setting as No. 9 Northwestern (12-5, 6-1 Big Ten) handily defeated Big Ten opponent Ohio State (6-10, 1-6) 4-1 at Lakeside Field on Saturday afternoon. With only one conference game left in the season, NU is tied with Maryland for first place in the Big Ten. “We are really starting to put some goals away and capitalizing on our circle penetration, so overall I’m happy,” coach Tracey Fuchs said. “Anytime you vie for a Big Ten championship in a conference like this is very rewarding.” The Wildcats started putting the goals away early, capitalizing on a penalty corner just 2:25 into the first half. Sophomore Dominique Masters rocketed a shot past the Buckeyes keeper to give the Wildcats an early lead. Juniors Lisa McCarthy and Charlotte Martin assisted the play. NU scored again just 12 minutes later when redshirt sophomore Ashley Bernardi put one home after a rebounded save at 14:22. Converting on rebounds and corners have been points of emphasis

for the team. “We’ve definitely been practicing our rebounds and tipping all season,” junior Caroline Troncelliti said. Although the Cats maintained their 2-goal lead into the half, they only narrowly led the Buckeyes 8-6 in shots and 3-2 in earned penalty corners. The Buckeyes managed to get themselves back in
the game early in the second half when Maddy Humphrey tipped in a feed to make the game 2-1 1:39 into the second period. That was the last goal the Buckeyes would score. The Cats regained their 2-goal lead at 46:07 when freshman Sophia Miller flicked a rebounded save into the upper right 90. Less than 10
minutes later, sophomore Juliet Beatty tipped a feed from McCarthy to notch the score at 4-1. The Cats then carried the lead until the final buzzer. Although NU was able to convert on both corners and rebounds, its offensive poise was clearly on display during transition. Throughout the game, the Cats were able to swiftly move the ball out of
“I think we have a really good mentality of tackling back, so it’s not just the defenders who are making those tackles. We have forwards who are stopping it on the line,” McCarthy said. “And we have a superb goalkeeper.” Senior goalkeeper Maddy Carpenter made three key saves in the matchup, even leaving the box to take on a lone, dangerous attacker in the first half. It was Carpenter’s 50th career win. The Cats next play Friday when they will travel to face Big Ten opponent Penn State in hopes of maintaining that first-place tie or seizing the top spot for themselves. “There’s a lot at stake, so I think we are going to work really hard in practice this week.” Troncelliti said. “It’s up to us.” McCarthy echoed her teammate. “We’ve got the players, we’ve got the talent,” she said. “It’s all in the head now.” clairehansen2018@u.northwestern.edu
NU floats past opponents Diver Andrew Cramer helps NU to victories By TYLER KENDALL
the daily northwestern @tylerskendall
Northwestern won its first home meet of the season Saturday, beating Illinois-Chicago and Oakland 179-112 and 155-134 respectively. The Wildcats won 9 out of 16 events, which included both the 1-meter and 3-meter diving board competitions. Coach Jarod Schroeder noted key performances from several returners. Junior Jordan Wilimovsky won both the 500 and 1,000 freestyle, senior Uula Auren placed first in the 100 breaststroke, and junior captain Van Donkersgoed won the 200 breaststroke. Schroder also mentioned freshmen Almog Olshtein and Alex Snarski who contributed to the Cats’ 200 medley relay win. Olshtein won both the 50 and 100 free competitions. NU, led by sophomore Andrew Cramer, took first, second and third on both diving events. “I was really proud of my 1-meter performance, a little more than my 3-meter performance,” Cramer said. “All my 1-meter dives were above what I was expecting, and I thought it was a good performance overall because I did a lot of the corrections my coach told me to. It was a great meet today, it was our first home meet, and I was really proud of it.” The tri-meet took place simultaneously with the women’s competition, causing the event to last for more than three hours. “Now when you add the women and the extra heat of everything,
there’s more time between events for the guys so they can have a little bit longer to recover,” Schroeder said. “The performances show they’re a little more fresh for their next event.” NU has a bye next week before traveling to Louisville for another combined meet against Kentucky, Missouri and Southern Illinois. Schroeder said the next four weeks will be critical for preparing for important midseason meets, such as the TYR Invitational We’re doing hosted at home a bettter job starting of getting up Nov. 21. “I think and getting they were after our races, better this gettng the first week but there’s 50 out of 100 still a lot out faster. of things Jared Schroeder, t hat we have to coach work on,” Schroeder said. “The good thing is that we have two weeks until our next meet where we can still work on a lot of the details.” “In terms of racing, I think we’re doing a better job of getting up and getting after our races, getting the first 50 out of 100 out faster. That was one of the issues in the opening meet, because I didn’t think we were very aggressive in taking our races out and today we were much better with that.”

Northwestern hosted and beat both Oakland and Illinois-Chicago by 180111 and 211-86 on Saturday in the Wildcats’ second meet of the season. Sophomore Ellen Stello placed first in the 200 fly, 500 free and 200 individual medley competitions, contributing to the tri-meet win. “For the second week in a row, Ellen Stello was outstanding,” coach Jimmy Tierney said. “She’s swimming close to lifetime best times which is tough to do at this time of the year, and it is a result of her hard work and her
training. She’s doing a great job day to day and it’s paying off.” Tierney also noted strong performances from freshmen, such as freestyler Anna Keane and fly and freestyler Maddy Sims, who placed second in the 200 fly and 200 medley relay. “It’s really exciting to have such a great start to the season,” Stello said. “It’s awesome looking ahead and to think about everything that we can accomplish as a team and I can contribute to the team.” Despite the win, Tierney still sees where the team needs improvement. “There are some things here that everyone has to work on, like how we’re getting beat on some starts and turns,” he said. “Things like that have
to get better if we’re going to compete at a high level, but we’re making progress, and it’s good, but we got a ways to go.” The Cats have a bye week and then will head to Lexington to face Kentucky, Missouri and Southern Illinois. “We’re going to put in a week and half of really hard work and then go down to Lexington, Kentucky to challenge some really good SEC schools,” Tierney said. “So we’re excited, and I think our girls will be really pumped up to go on the road and see what we can do against a good group of talented teams.” tylerkendall2018@u.northwestern.edu
