Badger beatdown Junior superback Dan Vitale grabs Northwestern’s first touchdown in the Wildcats’ 20-14 victory over Wisconsin on Saturday. The win was NU’s first at home over a ranked team since 2010.

Cats top No. 17 Badgers By bobby pillote

the daily northwestern @BobbyPillote

Northwestern’s mid-season renaissance continues. In their conference home opener, the Wildcats (3-2, 2-0 Big Ten) stretched their win streak to three with an upset victory over No. 17 Wisconsin (3-2, 0-1). The win comes almost a year after a deflating loss to the Badgers that sent last year’s team into a five-game tailspin and on the heels of last week’s impressive road win over Penn State. “A great team win,” coach Pat Fitzgerald

said. “They’re physical, they have an identity, but we found a way to get the job done.” The star of the game was redshirt freshman Godwin Igwebuike. Filling in for injured senior Ibraheim Campbell, Igwebuike grabbed three interceptions to lead the defense, including a pick in the final minute to seal the game. “I knew it was going to be my time to step up,” Igwebuike said. “I prepared like I’ve never prepared before and it paid off.” Even in victory, NU struggled to contain Wisconsin’ runnig back Melvin Gordon, who gashed the Cats’ defense for 265 yards and one touchdown on 27 carries,

including runs of 58 and 61 yards. But Gordon was brought down in the backfield on several key plays to force the Badgers into passing situations, and his usual change-of-pace back-up Corey Clement was limited to just 6 carries and 23 yards. Wisconsin starting quarterback Tanner McEvoy was entirely ineffective, in the first half. He completed just four of 10 passes for 24 yards and an interception before being pulled late in the second quarter for backup Joel Stave. Stave wasn’t much of an improvement in the second half, throwing three » See football, page 10

Student-made app locks phones By yunita ong

the daily northwestern @yunitaong

McCormick sophomore William Xiao has earned kudos from the online technology community for developing an Android mobile application that intelligently locks and unlocks the user’s phone using sensor data. Named Pocket Lock, the application uses sensor data to keep the user’s phone locked until taken out for usage. Users can wave their hands

over the front of their phones when they want to unlock it. This prevents accidental activity while the phone is in one’s pocket or bag. The app has received about 45,000 downloads on the Google Play store. Pocket Lock is the first app Xiao, a computer science major, has ever developed. Xiao said he began building the app during winter break of 2013, when he got bored learning about mobile app development in an e-book he had bought online. “I wanted to develop

something I personally would find useful,” he said. “One of the next big things in app development is to help people communicate with their devices in a smarter way.” Xiao worked on the app alone, during breaks and over the summer. His biggest difficulty was his lack of experience, he said. “I had to Google every single thing — even something as simple as placing a button on the screen,” he said. He said he did not anticipate the response to Pocket Lock, which has won praise

from tech websites such as Gizmodo, Digital Spy and Lifehacker. “I read Lifehacker every day, and one day I woke up and saw my own work being featured there,” he said. “I was absolutely floored.” McCormick sophomore Jaiveer Kothari, who has taken multiple classes with Xiao since freshman year, said Xiao’s work ethic and resourcefulness helped him perfect Pocket Lock.

Four men were arrested Sunday in connection with the Sept. 28 shooting of two high school students in Skokie. The men, all 19, were charged with the first degree murder of Maxwell Gadau, 17, and with the attempted murder and armed robbery of a 17-yearold female who has not been identified, police said. All four remain in police custody and were brought before Cook County bond judges Sunday and Monday, police said. Police found Gadau, whose parents are from Evanston, and the girl after officers responded to a call of shots fired on Sept. 28. The two were found in a car in the 9200 block of Kevdale Avenue.

Both were transported to Evanston Hospital, where Gadau was pronounced dead and the girl remains hospitalized, police said. Gadau died of a gunshot wound in the back and his death was ruled a homicide, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. Gadau and the girl were both students at Niles North High School, according to a statement from the school. “This terrible crime has affected our entire school community,” Niles North principal Ryan McTague said in a statement. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Max’s family, with the family of the injured girl, and with the families of all the students who are affected by this event.” A memorial service for Gadau was held Sunday afternoon at Evanston’s » See skokie, page 10

Big Sean to headline Blowout By Alice Yin

the daily northwestern @alice_yin

Hip-hop rapper Big Sean will be the main act for Friday’s Blowout concert, A&O Productions announced Monday. The opening act for the concert will be announced this week. “(Big Sean is) very high energy, people really know his music, he has a bunch of top hits,” said Communication senior Morgan Hecht, A&O director of concerts. “We think his energy and his music will be a great way to kick off the year for A&O and for everyone.” Big Sean, who debuted with “Finally Famous” in 2011 under Kanye West’s label, has won numerous Black Entertainment Television Awards and has received two Grammy nominations for his feature in West’s song “Mercy.” On Sept. 12, Big Sean announced he signed on with Jay-Z’s label and released a foursong extended play record. Bienen senior Lucas Messore, who DJs and produces music, will perform under his stage name Anleu as the student opener at the beginning of the concert. Messore won Battle of the DJs and performed at Dillo Day this year. A&O worked with WNUR Streetbeat to choose the student act. “Our goal as A&O is to bring

Dozens of men wearing heels took to the bike path of an Evanston park Sunday to raise awareness for sexual assault. “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes,” which took place in Centennial Park, is the first awareness event the Northwest Center Against Sexual Assault has hosted. The agency provides free services in Cook County to sexual assault survivors and their loved ones. “It’s really performance art,” said Rebecca Navickis, Northwest CASA’s fundraising and events coordinator. “It’s men doing this to say ‘I stand with these survivors.’” Eighty-eight participants, both men and women, registered for the event, and more signed up Sunday morning. The men received a T-shirt and a pair of red heels at check-in. However, some attendees, such as Evanston police officer candidate Amin Virani, brought their own heels. Participants included staff members at Northwest CASA, their families, officers from the Evanston Police Department and other members of the Chicago area community. “One of my friends told me about this cause, and I have two daughters, so it really hits home for me,” participant John Bettasso said. The Lake Zurich, Illinois, resident pulled one of his daughters in a wagon as he walked. Some participants, such as Jim Huenink, executive director of the Northwest CASA in Arlington Heights, ran in their heels for part of the mile. “I figured I was in pain anyway, why not get it over with faster?” Huenink said. NWCASA opened its newest Evanston location in the Lorraine H. Morton Civic Center this year, moving out of its previous home at the YWCA Evanston/North Shore. “For many of our clients, access to services is a real issue,” Huenink said. “Our services are free, but we’ve always known that it was necessary to build

a satellite office in Evanston.” The Evanston location provides the same services as Northwest CASA’s headquarters in Arlington Heights, Illinois, including counseling for victims and their loved ones, prevention programs in schools and advocacy at hospitals, emergency rooms and courts through its 24-hour hotline. Since moving to Evanston, Northwest CASA has seen a lot of demand for its services, Huenink said. To be able to expand, the Northwest CASA has to first distribute information to the community about sexual assault and the center’s services, which was the idea behind “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes,” he said. Enjoli Daley, an Evanston police officer who is on the board of Northwest CASA, helped plan and facilitate the event. “It’s really just out-of-the-box thinking — guys walking around in heels is not something you see every day,” said Daley. “Any time you can get a group of people together and help bring awareness to a worthy cause, I think that’s a good idea.” madelinefox2017@u.northwestern.edu

NU to evaluate drug abuse prevention tactics By Sophia Bollag

daily senior staffer @SophiaBollag

Northwestern will evaluate its substance abuse prevention efforts as part of its involvement with a newly rebranded mental health initiative, Counseling and Psychological Services executive director John Dunkle said. The Jed and Clinton Health Matters Campus Program on Wednesday released an official list of more than 50 schools, including NU, that have signed on to the program. To begin the program, universities will conduct a self-assessment of their existing mental health and substance abuse prevention tactics. The program will provide participating universities with customized feedback based on their evaluations. The program is an updated version of the JedCampus program, which NU was already working with, and helps colleges and universities improve mental health resources. The program has expanded to include a focus on controlling substance abuse on college campuses, Dunkle said. “We had to rethink some things because they redid the survey and added some questions,” Dunkle said. “My goal is to have the survey completed by the end of the Fall Quarter.”

REEVALUATING RESOURCES Counseling and Psychological Services, located in Searle Hall, is working with a newly rebranded mental health program to evaluate resources for suicide prevention and drug abuse prevention on campus.

The program is a partnership of The Jed Foundation, an organization that promotes mental health and suicide prevention on college campuses, and the Clinton Foundation, a philanthropic organization founded by former President Bill Clinton and his family. The Jed Foundation announced its partnership

with the Clinton Foundation to expand the program in January. The program previously focused on mental health and suicide prevention, but with the involvement of the Clinton Foundation, expanded to also include substance abuse prevention. “The Clinton Foundation had a very particular

Chinese-language classes and cultural programs to cash-strapped colleges in the United States, albeit with limitations on what they can teach. In a statement Thursday, the University of Chicago said it had tried to negotiate a renewal agreement with Hanban, the Chinese agency that manages Confucius institutes. “However, recently published comments about UChicago in an article about the director-general of Hanban are incompatible with a continued equal partnership,” the statement said. Asked about the offending comments,

university spokeswoman Sarah Nolan cited a Sept. 19 article published in the Chinese-language newspaper Jiefang Daily of Shanghai. The comments in question appear toward the end of the article, when Hanban director Xu Lin is quoted as bragging about her tough negotiating style with the university. The article says that after UChicago faculty objected to the Confucius Institute in April, Xu wrote a letter to the university’s president with only one line, “If your school decides to withdraw, I will agree to it.”

interest in substance abuse issues,” Dunkle said. “A lot of times suicides involve alcohol or other drugs so it’s important to consider those issues as well when you’re looking at this comprehensively.” The Campus Coalition on Mental Health, a group organized last year that includes representatives from CAPS, Associated Student Government and student groups focused on mental health, began to work with The Jed Foundation’s guidelines to improve mental health programming on campus last year, McCormick senior Alex Van Atta said. Van Atta, who served on the coalition last year as part of his role as ASG executive vice president, said the coalition has already started making changes based on the guidelines, such as the expansion of the Question-Persuade-Refer suicide prevention training program on campus last academic year. ASG student life vice president Chris Harlow, who will serve on the coalition this year, said he anticipates the new program will provide “vital” support in helping the coalition improve mental health resources on campus. “There’s still a gap in the services and the way that we approach well-being,” Harlow, a SESP junior, said. “The administration has a long way to go, I think, and so I’m ready for the Jed Foundation to come in and evaluate.” sophiabollag@u.northwestern.edu The article then reports that UChicago got “anxious” and reassured Xu that it would continue to host the Confucius Institute. In all likelihood, the university’s decision to drop the Confucius Institute was related only partly to Xu’s reported braggadocio. As of May, more than 100 faculty members had signed on to a letter calling for the university to end its relationship with Hanban and close the institute. — Stuart Leavenworth McClatchy (McClatchy Washington Bureau)

Library screens documentary on homelessness By Hal Jin

“

the daily northwestern

The Evanston Public Library screened a documentary Sunday afternoon on the issue of homelessness that led to conversation among residents about the issue both within the city and across the nation. The film “@home,” directed by Susanne Suffredin, follows internet-savvy activist Mark Horvath as he interviews homeless people and organizations. The film covers the perception of homelessness as a personal failure rather than a societal issue. A question-and-answer with Suffredin and Paul Selden, the executive director of Evanston nonprofit Connections for the Homeless, followed the documentary screening. Horvath runs invisiblepeople.tv, a website dedicated to recording the stories of people who are homeless. In his interviews with homeless people, Horvath regularly asks them what three wishes they have. People often answered that they want a place to stay, a job and to be able to help other people in their situation. Horvath spoke in the film about how he uses social media to spread the word about his cause. “It was only social media that made my activism have any influence,” he said in the

Selden said Evanston residents need to demand affordable housing at City Council. Before the documentary began, Evanston resident Faye Walker, 75, spoke on this issue. “I find myself thinking, sometimes, that it’s a character issue,” she said. “I come to see these kinds of documentaries to remind myself to not fall back into that line of thinking.”

film. For a large portion of his life, Horvath lived on the streets in Los Angeles. During that time, he was an addict and spent about $300 a day on drugs. “The years of drug addiction and homelessness was very hard on him,” Suffredin said. “Perhaps he is still dealing with some issues he developed during that time.”

Suffredin, who is an award-winning Chicago-based filmmaker, said she applauded Horvath’s bravery and passion, describing him as a “very out-of-the-box, very spontaneous” figure.

Meeting connects Evanston Latinos to resources By jennifer ball

daily senior staffer @jennifercball

Evanston officials held a forum Sunday for Latino residents to discuss issues with language barriers and access to resources in the community. The meeting, held at Saint Nicholas Church, 806 Ridge Ave., was held to make Latino residents aware of services in Evanston they might not have known about otherwise, deputy city

manager Erika Storlie said. “We figured it’s better for us to go to the people than the people come to us,” she said. At the meeting, aldermen gave presentations about the various city services available for Latino residents. Booths were set up by city government, Evanston Public Library, and Erie Evanston/Skokie Health Center to give residents the opportunity to ask questions. Ald. Peter Braithwaite (2nd) helped to organize the event after an Evanston man voiced his concerns regarding the language barriers and the disconnect between the Latino community

and public officials and police. The man expressed worries about access to resources for Latinos in the community, Braithwaite said. About 30 people attended the event, which began with remarks from the church’s pastor the Rev. Bill Tkachuk. “You here have to speak for many people today,” he said. The various services were presented, including those offered by Evanston’s 311 service center, Evanston police and Parks, Recreation and Community Services. Members of the Evanston Police Department

provided translation for residents. Library services available to Latino residents include teen programming, book discussions and free Internet classes. City officials provided information about Evanston’s Zombie Scramble and free admittance to the Robert Crown Ice Complex. Residents were provided with a map of the wards and a list of city contacts in both English and Spanish. “This is just a start to the conversation, and I hope we continue the dialogue,” Braithwaite said. jenniferball2015@u.northwestern.edu

Medical marijuana deserves more clinical study sai folmsbee

daily columnist

Last year, the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act established the state’s medical marijuana pilot program. About 15 bodies have submitted applications to open a medical marijuana dispensary in Evanston or Niles Township. Medical marijuana has been embroiled in a firestorm of legal, economic and cultural controversy for decades, but what is rarely discussed is the scientific basis for using marijuana as a medical treatment. From the available evidence, two things are clear: First, marijuana, like any other drug, has risks and benefits, but clearly it has at least a limited use in medicine. Secondly, we absolutely need to have more rigorous clinical studies of it. What are the most reliable uses for medical marijuana? Interestingly, it’s the effects it has on general patient well-being and overall health that are the most consistent. Marijuana can increase appetite and weight, which is a surprisingly important healthcare goal, since there are a variety of medical conditions that have a devastating and persistent wasting component. For example, scientific trials have shown that cannabis can help

patients regain a healthy weight while undergoing chemotherapy or even while taking anti-HIV drugs. There have been other, less conclusive studies. Some have shown that marijuana can cause mild improvements in neurologic symptoms, such as those from multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s, but this evidence is less compelling. Even in treating nausea, the clinical data of using marijuana has had conflicting results, potentially due to the variety of causes of nausea, as well as varied methods of cannabis administration, either oral or inhaled. Although we currently have drugs that address most of the issues that medical marijuana is intended to treat, its true strength is as a potential alternative. For example, the weight-gain drug megestrol can have unpleasant side-effects, like nausea, vomiting and sexual dysfunction. For those patients who have such adverse reactions, marijuana may be able to serve as a suitable replacement. But what are the risks of medical marijuana? Like any medical treatment, there are side-effects, the most common of which are cognitive problems. Interestingly, many clinical trials have shown that smoking marijuana, even chronically, is much less damaging than smoking tobacco cigarettes. There is certainly not enough evidence to say that smoking marijuana is entirely benign, but short-term use in selected patients is clearly reasonable under a physician’s supervision.

Ideally, we would be able to purify the active ingredients from marijuana and provide it in pill form like any other drug to control its dosage and pharmacologic effects. But because of its dearth of scientific investigation, and marijuana’s historical medical-legal quagmire, the FDA hasn’t approved marijuana as a treatment. Rather, only drugs similar in activity to THC are available by prescription. Therefore, the legal issues surrounding cannabis have produced a unique and confusing medical system requiring specialized dispensaries. The most important implication of the legalization of medical marijuana in Illinois is the opportunity for scientific study. Hopefully, definitive clinical trials, with proper controls and comparisons to current first-line treatments, will provide better legitimization and regulation. At this point, based on the evidence, there are clear benefits for some patients with certain conditions, but marijuana’s overall role in medicine remains unknown. Regardless of the evidence, Northwestern students will not be permitted to use marijuana for medicinal purposes. From the Undergraduate Student Handbook, “medical marijuana on University property or at University-related activities is and shall remain prohibited.” The University recognizes that while it is legal under state law, it is still prohibited by federal regulation, specifically the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988 and the federal Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989.

According to the handbook, if a student is found in possession of medical marijuana, they could lose a year or more of federal financial aid for college. This can be ended by successfully completing a drug rehabilitation program, which would be a curious sanction for a student using marijuana for medical reasons. The use of cannabis as a medical treatment does not fit any honest definition for substance abuse or addiction, and no one is better served at NU by treating it as such. For students living on campus with medical conditions warranting the use of marijuana, they may be out of luck. But with a dispensary potentially on its way, and the amount of scientific evidence increasing, the University, as well as the federal government, may need to sincerely reconsider its stance. Ultimately, we must remember to treat medical marijuana as just that: medicine. It will need to be carefully balanced with other medications, and it has the same drawbacks and limitations as any drug. Certainly, we are in the early days of marijuana’s medical application, but the fact remains that we need more scientific investigation to determine the true scope of its potential use.

Taylor Swift teaches lessons in personal branding madeline burg

daily columnist

Last week, the career fair passed in a haze of haphazardly thrown together business casual outfits and painfully plastered-on smiles as students crowded into Norris University Center to kickstart their professional futures. College has always been a time to try to figure out your life, but lately college is less a platform for cultivating your mind and more a launching pad for the version of yourself that’s going to take a place in the fast-paced business world of today. These four years are your trial period for discovering not yourself as a person but yourself as a product, as a hot commodity for prospective employers to trip over themselves to hire – because you’re worth it. These days especially it’s all about creating an image of yourself as a neat little package bursting with personality, no matter the career path. Competing with hot young professionals means you not only have to know what’s going on in your chosen job arena, but also you have to be charmingly unique, personable

and, preferably, a proficient yet noncontroversial source of social media output. In a world where the line separating real life and internet life is increasingly blurred, you are a brand. Cultivate your brand. Learn it, live it, love it. Be #onbrand. And if you need a model to study the ways of successful, subtle but relentless branding, look no further than Taylor Swift. I’m being serious. The pop-country sensation has slowly shed the “-country” portion of her appellation in a frankly brilliant series of secretly calculated moves over the span of a few years. If we’re being real, TSwift’s publicity team is undoubtedly the force behind the actual logistics of this image shift. But the lead-up to the lateOctober release of the singer’s newest album, “1989,” has been characterized by an impressive deluge of social media interaction that appears to be mostly the handiwork of Swift herself (a result of careful coaching by her team, I’m sure, but shhh). She’s been teasing the album since last fall, but the media push began this summer in a way that, at the time, you wouldn’t have even thought of as a single part of a larger whole. But in retrospect, it was most likely a carefully plotted sneaky little aperitif for the publicity feast yet to come. Taylor’s Fashion Tour of New York City’s Gyms, chronicled snarkily

by fashion bloggers Tom & Lorenzo, featured the singer exiting the gym on various summer days in outfits so coordinated and trendy and with hair so perfectly coiffed that there is no possible way she had just spent an hour sweating on an elliptical. In the beginning of August, Swift began posting hints on Instagram about an exciting announcement that she then made on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” revealing a Yahoo! live stream event taking place on Aug. 18, during which she would state that “1989” would officially be a pop album. Cue the combustion of the internet, a media firestorm that would rage intensely, fueled by an in-depth Rolling Stone profile and Swift’s own relentless expansion of her social media presence, a presence unique in its apparently truly personal quality. Swift’s new thing is that even amidst the cat obsession, the eternal bright red lipstick, and the achingly hipster decor of her disgustingly chic Manhattan apartment (the Rolling Stone profile was thorough), she’s self-aware. Pics of her wearing a yellow t-shirt printed with the phrase “no its becky” have surfaced. This is an allusion to a Tumblr meme featuring an old high school candid of the singer captioned with the assertion that it’s actually a girl named Becky. Swift has been active on Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr, replying to

Take some time to be alone in college Bethany Ao

daily columnist

Last Winter Quarter, I went to Shedd Aquarium for a day by myself before finals. Residential Services had planned a trip for students living on campus that included transportation to and from the aquarium, as well as free admission. One of my friends had asked me to go the night before to de-stress before our exams, but when I went to her room the next morning five minutes before we were supposed to leave, she was still asleep. Even though I was slightly irritated, I decided to go anyways. After all, who can resist cute sea otters and dolphins? After the bus arrived at the aquarium, many people paired off with their friends and began exploring the different exhibits. I trailed behind, feeling a little lonely. Eventually, however, I realized that because I wasn’t with anyone at the aquarium, I could spend as much time as I wanted at each exhibit. I peppered the expert on beluga whales with questions about the animals and stayed there for over 20 minutes, just watching the animals frolic in the water. I revisited my favorite parts of the

aquarium multiple times, and by the time I left, I felt even more refreshed, relaxed and energized than when I came. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m an introvert. I recharge when I’m by myself, and being around too many people for a long time exhausts me. But whether you’re an introvert or an extrovert, alone time at college is a rare, but much-needed break from the daily grind. Here’s why: At college, it’s likely that you’re around people all the time. Between your friends, your classmates, your annoying TA and your obnoxious roommate, it’s likely that you’re constantly socializing. While chatting with your friends is a very crucial part of college, alone time will help you avoid burning out too quickly, think about decisions more deeply and most importantly, learn to accept and even become friends with yourself. Chances are if you’re at Northwestern, you’ve worked your butt off to get here. I pulled many late nights in high school, and it’s no different in college. Besides dealing with heavy workloads, many of us are also committed to at least one or two clubs or sports teams on campus. With so many things going on, it’s really easy to get caught up in the flurry of activities and busyness. Not only that, but college also requires a lot of big decision-making. What classes are you going to take

next quarter? Are you going to study abroad or not? Which internships do you want to apply early to? These decisions require a lot of thought even though many of us don’t have the luxury of sitting down and considering them. Before you know it, you’ve physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted yourself. You can avoid all this by carving out small chunks of your day for some solitude. Walking to class alone instead of with a giant group of friends can be incredibly relaxing. Taking the El down to Chicago for some afternoon shopping and a cup of coffee without company may help you clear your mind of worries. Even working out or eating a meal alone can be very re-energizing. No one can avoid being alone forever. You’ll experience moments in life that will leave you feeling lonely. However, if you start getting comfortable with spending time by yourself now, those moments are going to feel easier when they come along. That’s why I’m encouraging you to consider spending the next Friday night in with a good book or movie, a mug of hot chocolate and of course, yourself. Bethany Ao is a Medill sophomore.

This past week she hosted 89 fans at her house in Rhode Island for what she hashtagged on Twitter as one of many “1989 Secret Sessions,” a house party she carefully documented through retweets of her guests’ frenzied gratitude plus innumerable Instagrams of self-conscious polaroids of her and the fans frolicking around the dimly-lit beach house. We could go on: the “Shake It Off ” video is full of fans plucked from social media and behind-the-scenes footage is being released weekly, tweeted by Tay herself. Or her team. The point is the girl knows what she’s doing; she knows how to present herself the way she wants to and how to utilize the burgeoning juggernaut of social media to do it. This is expert branding. And while you’re not an international no-longer-country pop star, you’re about to need some branding too. So when you hand over that resume, smile really really hard, be charming and don’t forget to be #onbrand. Madeline Burg is a Weinberg senior.

Students flock downtown for annual Big Bite Night

Crowds of students navigated downtown Evanston with paper bags and maps on Sunday afternoon, scouting out locations for free food. Big Bite Night, an annual event hosted by Associated Student Government, featured 36 Evanston eateries that provided samples of their food. Most sites had outdoor vendors passing out food on the sidewalk. “It’s great for students because obviously they get free food,” said Kevin Harris, ASG community relations vice president. “They get a chance to sample restaurants they might not have tried before (and) find out some new ones.” More than 1,800 students attended the event this year, he said. “The numbers continue to go up every year as more and more students find out about it,” Harris

said. Students had two hours to sample as many things as possible. Some upperclassmen who had been to this event in previous years said they had the experiential knowledge to navigate the streets more efficiently. “We had a strategical idea of which restaurants we could skip without disappointment, and then knocked out the ones we wanted to hit twice,” Bienen senior Maria Massucco said. Restaurant owners said they benefited from the exposure of Big Bite Night as well. “It’s a great opportunity to get thousands of new people to know where we are and get a little taste of our food and an idea of the concept,” said Edzo’s Burger Shop owner Eddie Lakin, who added that he would be “a fool” not to participate. Harris said next year, ASG hopes to bring back a cappella groups to perform at the event, a feature that was absent this year, in addition to making Big Bite Night more environmentally friendly. grantpender2018@u.northwestern.edu

SPEND WINTER 2015 IN WASHINGTON D.C. Have you ever dreamed of rubbing elbows with the movers and shakers on Capitol Hill? Would you like to learn how D.C. operates from the inside as legislators, the Obama administration and advocacy groups grapple with key issues facing the country? The Northwestern undergraduate program in Washington is an exciting opportunity for students to gain invaluable knowledge and experience about how DC operates, working as interns in the mix of organizations involved in a variety of important national issues while taking seminars in privacy and civil liberties in an era of National Security Agency scandals, and presidential power versus congressional clout. The program, which provides four units of academic credit through the internship/practicum and two seminars, also gives students the opportunity to forge ongoing relationships with organizations and companies in D.C. that have yielded subsequent internships and jobs. The program is offered every winter quarter so that students are there to witness either an inaugural address or a State of the Union address. Students work out of Medill’s D.C. Bureau at 1325 G Street, NW, Suite 730, about two blocks from the Metro Center subway stop.

If you are interested in finding out more about the Winter 2015 program, attend a meeting on Thursday, October 9 at 5pm in Fisk 311. If you are interested but can’t attend the meeting, please contact Prof. Ellen Shearer at shearer@northwestern.edu.

Q&A: Steven Salaita By lydia ramsey

daily senior staffer @lydiaramsey125

The academic Steven Salaita had his job offer rescinded from the University of Illinois this summer after he posted a number of controversial tweets regarding the conflict in the Gaza Strip, bringing into question the role of social media in higher education. Illinois offered Salaita a tenured position in the university’s American Indian studies program in the summer. The University withdrew its offer Aug. 1 after Salaita, a Jordanian-American of Palestinian descent, posted politically charged tweets from his Twitter account. Salaita will be speaking on campus Monday at 5 p.m. about the intersection of social media and academic freedom for university faculty. The event, hosted by Students for Justice in Palestine, is part of Salaita’s weeklong Chicago speaking tour. The Daily spoke with Salaita in a phone interview ahead of Monday’s talk. The Daily: Knowing the implications it had on your career, do you still stand by some of the statements you said in your tweets? Salaita: They were written in a particular moment, in a particular context and there was no expectation, and there still should be no expectation, that speaking one’s mind on social media, which is an extramural activity, should lead to termination from a tenured faculty appointment. Knowing what I know now, that changes everything, but we don’t participate in social media, academics don’t anyway, under the assumption that they’re going to be watched, recorded, taken out of context and in turn, summarily dismissed from a tenured position. That was kind of the last thing on my mind at the time. The Daily: How does your experience with indigenous studies connect to your Palestinian/ Jordanian-American identity? Salaita: When I was a student … I started noticing a lot of similarities in the types of colonial discourses that were being used in the settlement of North America by Europeans and then the settlement of Palestine by Zionists. There’s a lot of movement in recent years to take up the question of Palestine in the broader field of indigenous studies.

The Daily: How has the response from the University of Illinois, rescinding your offer because of your tweets, shaped your perspective on how higher education interacts with social media? Salaita: It’s really confirmed, more than anything, suspicions that folks have had, that universities are beginning to function more like corporations than places of education. I think that one reason why my case has generated such interest is because I think a lot of university policies and procedures, both formal and informal, around the use of social media are still nascent. The Daily: I’ve seen that you’ve published a book and articles on blogs. Have you ever gotten any feedback from universities about that, or is the response really so different between social media and traditional media? Salaita: I think, in my case anyway … I’ve noticed a difference. I feel like one reason people are attracted to social media is it gives them a potentially broader reach. The platform lends itself to a type of speaking style and a type of discursive performance that certainly is more rapid-fire than traditional essays. Being in social media, it gets circulated and it always has the potential to quote-unquote, go viral. The Daily: Have the events of the summer ever made you rethink your career? Salaita: I haven’t had a chance to explore those possibilities, but I probably will in the near future. I’m still kind of shell-shocked and overwhelmed. lydiaramsey2015@u.northwestern.edu

interceptions and going eight-of-19 for 114 yards and a touchdown. He had a couple of chances deep with receivers facing single coverage, but both were broken up on athletic plays by starting cornerbacks junior Nick VanHoose and sophomore Matthew Harris, respectively. The defensive line continued its strong play from a week ago, sacking the quarterback only once but consistently generating pressure. Sophomore defensive end Ifeadi Odenigbo stuck out, pushing Badgers right tackle Rob Havenstein backwards into Stave on the play that Stave threw his first interception. “I ran right up my guy and saw he was losing ground,â€? Odenigbo said of the play. “Whenever you see the ball released you put your hands up, and fortunately I got to the ball.â€? Offensively for NU, the day belonged to freshman running back Justin Jackson. With backup freshman Solomon Vault inactive, Jackson shouldered the load and carried an impressive 33 times for 165 yards. “I feel pretty crappy,â€? Jackson said after the game about the heavy duty, “but we won so that’s all that matters.â€? The freshman displayed great vision and burst all day and did an excellent job of running through contact. His endurance was vital in closing out the game during the fourth quarter. “His number was called,â€? Fitzgerald said, “and he has a really great feel for what we’re trying to do. ‌ (Our running backs) are really getting better.â€? Senior quarterback Trevor Siemian posted a poor stat line, completing 15 of his 29 passes for 182 yards and a touchdown, but did not turn the ball over and made some impressive throws in key situations. The Cats took advantage of some aggressive and creative play calls, including two fourth-down conversions on their second quarter touchdown drive. The highlight was a reverse to junior wide receiver Miles Shuler, which gave NU a quick 16-yard touchdown after Stave’s first interception. The win is the Cats’ first over a ranked opponent at home since Nov. 13, 2010 against Iowa and resulted in the student section storming the field. NU remains tied for first in the Big Ten West and now possesses a key tie-breaker in the race to the conference championship game. “Every game counts,â€? Fitzgerald said. “We’re just focused on us right now.â€?

First Presbyterian Church, said Erika Carey, a friend of Gadau’s parents who helped them draft their remarks for the service. “I think what’s been most difficult is that it was a murder on a Sunday night in the sleepy neighborhood of Skokie,� Carey said. Gadau’s parents grew up in Evanston and went to Evanston Township High School. District 202 superintendent Eric Witherspoon and Evanston/Skokie School District 65 Paul Goren both reached out to the parents to express their condolences, Carey said. “It’s been this ironic coming together of two communities to both mourn and grieve and then think about, ‘What’s going on? Why are people being murdered and shot to death?’� Carey said. Carey said the shooting took place near the home of Gadau’s friend, where Gadau had been hanging out. Some of his friends witnessed the shooting, she said.

Northwestern (5-1-4, 1-1-2 Big Ten) dramatically picked up its first conference win of the season against last year’s national runner-up Maryland (3-5-2, 1-2-1 Big Ten) after a 3-2 victory in overtime Sunday. Junior midfielder Cole Missimo topped off his two assists by firing in the match-winning golden goal just 66 seconds into overtime. The goal followed some great work by junior forward Joey Calistri at the end line, sliding it back to Missimo, who made no mistake from 12 yards out and won the match for the Wildcats. “I’m really proud of the guys,” coach Tim Lenahan said. “It’s a great win for the program.” The Cats got off to a flying start, scoring the first goal of the game — their first goal this season coming in the first 45 minutes of a match — after just three

minutes. Sophomore midfielder Brandon Medina played a brilliant ball to Missimo, who whipped a cross into the box, which was put in by junior defender Henry Herrill for his first goal of the year. NU doubled its lead nine minutes later on a breakaway after an impressive passage of first-touch play, where Missimo and Medina were involved once

more. Calistri put the ball into the back of the net from the six-yard box for his fourth goal of the season. Efficiency was the name of the game for NU in the first half, with their two goals coming from just two shots at the halftime mark. Then, with 20 minutes left in the first half of the match, the Cats conceded a

dubious handball in the box. Junior midfielder Mael Corboz slotted in the penalty to beat senior goalkeeper Tyler Miller. Maryland really went for the game after that point, and NU was hanging on by a thread. One of the most dangerous chances for Maryland to equalize was actually a clearance by NU senior defender Nikko Boxall that nearly rolled

Cats’ coaches get aggressive daily senior staffer @AlexPutt02

For a season and a half, Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald and offensive coordinator Mick McCall have been criticized for conservative play-calling and decision-making. Not on Saturday. The Wildcats’ 20-14 victory over No. 17 Wisconsin at Ryan Field was fueled by creativity on offense. NU’s first touchdown came two plays after a conversion on fourth-andfour from the Wisconsin 16, and the Cats scored in the third quarter on a 16-yard reverse to junior receiver Miles Shuler. That first touchdown, a five-yard pass to junior superback Dan Vitale, followed two fourth-down conversions. The second of the two conversions required multi-faceted fourth-down effort to reach the first-down marker. First, Fitzgerald called for a fake field goal, with the kicking unit rearranging

into the back of the net late in the second half. The Terrapins equalized with just five minutes to go until the end of the match to force overtime, and one could sense that it was coming. Freshman forward Jeroen Meefout scored on a half volley after some scrappy play by Maryland in the box. The overtime-forcing goal was the first allowed by Miller in open play in 522 minutes. “I said to the guys, ‘Let’s put one away and make this a special day,’” Lenahan said of his end-of-regulation team talk. “I said, ‘Let’s make the win a little more exciting,’ and they certainly did.” It took less than two minutes for NU to win the match in overtime, with Missimo sliding in the golden goal after some aggressive work by Calistri on the endline. Maryland may have felt that the ball went out of bounds during the assist. “It was very close to tell, but the ref made a decision, and you have to go with it,” Calistri said of the decision. The match was a physical one, with both teams fouling each other. The Terrapins looked to cut off the dangerous counterattacks which have characterized the NU game plan since Lenahan became head coach in 2001, and which led to the first two goals. “It’s a season-changing win for us,” Missimo said.

itself before the snap and kicker Jack Mitchell assuming the quarterback position. He praised Wisconsin coach Gary Anderson’s preparedness for the Cats’ trickery after the game. “We tried a little bit of element of surprise,” Fitzgerald said. “To Gary’s credit he saw it and took a timeout.” After the timeout, NU quarterback Trevor Siemian returned with the offense and attempted to draw Wisconsin off sides. After that didn’t work, Siemian completed a pass to Shuler for 5 yards and a first down. Fitzgerald explained his decision to forgo a 33-yard field goal by citing the wind at Ryan Field. “I’ve got great confidence in (sophomore kicker) Jack (Mitchell). That wasn’t it,” the coach said. “The wind was swirling around all day today. We had talked about going into the game if we had anything over 30 yards and it was fourth-and-manageable we were going to attack it.” The gamble paid off with the first down and Vitale’s subsequent touchdown.

The Cats’ other touchdown was also set up by aggressive coaching. On NU’s first play from scrimmage after an interception by Jimmy Hall, Siemian handed to freshman running back Justin Jackson, who pitched to Shuler on an end-around. With the Badgers running the wrong way, the speedy Shuler had plenty of open grass on his 16-yard dash to the end zone. Siemian threw one of the key blocks on the play. “I got in his way, just enough,” the quarterback said. “I wouldn’t even call it a block.” The Cats showed an inclination toward trickery earlier, scoring against California with a double pass from redshirt freshman Jayme Taylor to Siemian, and NU has used Shuler creatively all season. “We haven’t changed any philosophy, we haven’t changed the offense,” Fitzgerald said afterward. “We’re trying to make our plays offensively to match our personnel.” asputt@u.northwestern.edu

Against a highly competitive and diverse field of teams from around the nation, Northwestern secured a 12th-place finish with 330 points in Friday’s Notre Dame Invitational. The Wildcats competed in the Blue Division against 19 other teams and matched their 12thplace showing in the event from a year ago. “It was a somewhat disappointing team finish,” coach April Likhite said. “I think we had a couple girls perform really, really well. We’re going to learn from it and I’m excited for the next opportunity.” The key to the performance was the growth of team leaders and sophomores Jena Pianin and Andrea Ostenso during the last year. Pianin blasted past her time from last year’s Notre Dame Invitational to take 20th individually with a time of 16:45.9, far better than her 18:12 from the year before on the same 5K course. Pianin attributed her improvement to her work and preparation in the offseason. “Last fall I was coming off a stress fracture in my shin, which limited my ability to be in shape for the season,” she said. “Now I feel really prepared to take on new goals. I feel like a whole new runner starting this year.” Similarly, Ostenso dropped her time significantly to 16:50.7, good for 27th individually, after running 17:46.4 as a freshman at this event. The two sophomores paced the Cats with first- and secondplace finishes among NU runners at the meet. Their coach was unsurprised by their performance. “(Pianin and Ostenso have) grown a lot over the last year. I think even from the

cross country to the track season they started adapting to our program,” Likhite said. “They come to practice every day motivated by their goals, and that’s I think a what you h av e t o couple of those do in this girls really think sport.” they could Junior Elena Barhave moved ham, freshup midway man Isabel Seidel and through the junior race. Camille Blackman April Likhite, rounded coach out the top five runners for the Cats at the meet. Barham ran a personalbest in a 5K at 17:28.6, good for 93rd. Seidel finished in 17:30.5 and Blackman ran the race in 17:37.8. “We’re pretty happy with the performance, but we came in with some higher expectations,” Pianin commented. “We have some major places for improvement. We’re working on improving our sense of where we are in the race and racing our competition aggressively.” “We weren’t aggressive enough three through eight, and I think a couple of those girls really think they could have moved up midway through the race,” Likhite said. “Physically, we’re there. We need to be stronger in the mind right now.” “We had a good talk on the bus ride back and we’re going to go into the next meet looking to improve.” The Cats are back in action this week at the Lucian Rosa Invitational before shifting focus to the Pre-Nationals Invite in Terre Haute, Indiana.
