NU gets $300K grant for CARE By tyler pager

daily senior staffer @tylerpager

Northwestern received Friday a nearly $300,000 federal grant, which it will use to expand its sexual assault prevention efforts and create a new position to work with male-focused student groups. The University applied for the U.S. Department of Justice grant in February, said Lisa Currie, director of Health Promotion and Wellness. The new coordinator of men’s engagement would be the third full-time staff member at the Center of Awareness, Response and Education. “We’re ecstatic,” Currie said. “We were very excited to see the Department of Justice supports our vision for addressing sexual violence at Northwestern.” The new position would be responsible for working with male survivors, the student group Men Against Rape and Sexual Assault and other male student groups such as fraternities and athletics teams. NU will also use the money to hire a graduate student assistant for the University’s Step Up! bystander intervention program, in addition

to student designers and a videographer to create publicity materials for anti-sexual assault programs. The grant, which comes from a Department of Justice program to reduce sexual violence on college campuses, was made available by Congress’ reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act last year. “Today’s announcement is an investment in the safety, security and well-being of the entire Northwestern University community,” Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said in a news release. The University received its first Department of Justice grant in 2011. The money was used to hire NU’s survivor advocate and to fund the establishment of CARE. CARE’s confidential counseling and advocacy services for sexual assault survivors at NU have been temporarily halted, as the University looks to fill the office’s two vacancies. “(The new grant) really allows us to build on what we did with our first grant,” Currie said. tylerpager2017@u.northwestern.edu

City reports 1st case of West Nile virus in 2014

The Evanston Health Department confirmed Friday it has its first human case of West Nile virus in 2014. The case was reported in a 60-yearold Evanston resident.

This is the 16th confirmed human case in Illinois this year, according to the city’s health department. A total of 117 cases were reported in the state in 2013. The Cook County Department of Public Health reported its first case on Aug. 27. A woman in her 40s from the southwest suburb of Oak Lawn contracted the virus. In June, a sample of Evanston mosquitoes tested positive for the West

Northwestern School of Law announced a $150 million campaign last week, with just more than half of the funds allotted for student financial aid. The campaign, which is the largest in the law school’s history, has already hit $67 million in donations. The school has promised $80 million to increase financial aid and help offset the “serious issue” of student debt. “While a first-rate legal education remains an expensive proposition, we remain committed to reducing the overall financial Nile virus, the city said.

The 17-year-old freshman scored from a yard out on the Cats’ opening drive and scampered 11 yards for a touchdown early in the second quarter. The 5-foot-10, 190-pound back seemed an unlikely candidate to get the ball by the goal line, but he seized the burden on our students,” Daniel Rodriguez, dean of the School of Law, said in a news release. “This is important to maintain our competitive position — and it is simply the right thing to do.” Rodriguez has taken other steps recently to decrease law students’ financial burden. The law school’s tuition only increased by 3 percent for each of the last two academic years. It was the school’s smallest tuition bump in 40 years, the dean said. In March 2013, Rodriguez promised to increase student financial aid 25 percent over the next two years. The law school fundraising goal, which has no specified end date, is part of the University’s $3.75 billion “We Will” capital campaign announced in March. The said Evonda Thomas-Smith, director of the Evanston Health Department, in an email distributed to Evanston media.

Leaders of the long-term education initiative Cradle to Career are looking to hire two top positions that will guide the direction and focus of the entire program. The initiative is currently accepting applications for the executive director, said District 202 Superintendent Eric Witherspoon, who serves on the program’s planning committee. At the same time, the group intends to search for a data specialist to analyze numbers in different areas such as education, health and workforce. Cradle to Career is a community-wide effort that aims to mobilize the resources and and assets of Evanston organizations to ease children’s transition to adulthood. The initiative requires the leadership of a few people to regulate the abundance of community members involved in the various parts of the program, including those from nonprofits, school districts and businesses, Witherspoon said. “To actually make it work, we were going to

Roughly $5K worth of computers, other items stolen from building

About $5,000 worth of goods were taken from a business on Hartrey Avenue last week. Sometime either after business hours Wednesday or early Thursday morning, a commercial building in the 1200 block of Hartrey Avenue was burglarized, Evanston police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said. Two computers, an air compressor and a bag of tools were reported missing. There was no sign of forced entry, Parrott said.

have to have a very small staff that would actually provide the structure and the organization and the facilitation to get all of the programming going,” he said. The executive director will be in charge of trying to unite the different entities, including staffing committees, leading communications and developing a comprehensive strategy, Witherspoon said. Witherspoon said Cradle to Career is looking for someone who has held a leadership position for at least 10 years in a similar type of collective impact organization,whether it’s a local person familiar with the Evanston community or someone just as qualified from across the country. The initiative runs on the vision that “by the age of 23, all Evanston young adults will be leading productive lives, building on the resources, education and support that they and their families have had to help them grow into resilient, educated, healthy, self-sufficient, and socially responsible adults.” The executive director will report to a threeperson human resources committee that will delegate tasks to the more than 20 partners that have signed on and donated money towards Cradle to Career, Witherspoon said. After the hiring of the executive position, which accomplice distracted her at a Jewel-Osco food store Thursday. The Evanston resident was shopping in the frozen foods aisle of the Jewel-Osco at 1128 Chicago Ave. when an unknown woman approached her and struck up a conversation about store items, Parrott said. While the resident was distracted, a male accomplice stole her wallet from her purse. When the 70-year-old stopped at the in-store pharmacy to pick up a prescription, she noticed her wallet was missing and informed Jewel-Osco employees, Parrott said. Although observed on surveillance video, the offenders have not been identified, Parrott said.

Witherspoon anticipates will happen by November, Cradle to Career will let the new person become acquainted with the position before starting the search for the data specialist. The analyst will be responsible for compiling data and numbers that will show those involved in the initiative which areas need to be focused on and the effectiveness of ongoing efforts. “Within these clustered areas, we’re identifying specific metrics,” he said. “We’re measuring them not simply to put them on a dashboard or a spreadsheet, but to help guide the work and show us ... if we’re getting results with the solutions that we’re working on.” Cradle to Career was first introduced to Evanston in October 2012 at a meeting among city leaders. Since then, leadership has gathered partners from all walks of the Evanston community. Aldermen approved a $50,000 contribution toward the initiative at a city council meeting in September. Witherspoon will be accepting applications for the executive director position until Oct. 6. He expects to employ a data specialist by spring 2015. paigeleskin2017@u.northwestern.edu

Alumnus creates website to help students program NU apps By jeanne kuang

daily senior staffer @jeannekuang

A McCormick alumnus launched a website this month that can help Northwestern students create apps using University course data. The Northwestern Course Data API, or application programming interface, launched Sept. 15 and allows students to request NU’s official course data “in a format that’s friendlier to programs than the output in CAESAR,� creator Sheng Wu (McCormick ‘14) said. The data can be used to develop user-friendly apps to help students to plan class schedules. Students must log in with their Net IDs and submit a project application to be reviewed by the University before they are given access to the data. The API includes CAESAR’s ability to filter courses by categories such as subject and time. It also contains instructor information and coordinates of class locations. Wu, a former Associated Student Government technology vice president, said he noticed that CAESAR data was difficult to work with when fellow students created Courseseek, a studentdeveloped class scheduling website that drew more than 2,000 unique visitors in a day when it

Domestic violence may be more frequent in same-sex couples

A Northwestern Medicine literature review found domestic violence occurs as frequently, and possibly more often, in same-sex couples compared wit heterosexual couples. The review, published Sept. 4 in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy, analyzed past studies and found 25 to 75 percent of gay and bisexual individuals experience domestic violence. In contrast, around 25 percent

went live in Spring Quarter 2013. “Working with CAESAR’s data has been an absolute nightmare,� said McCormick senior Al Johri, one of Courseseek’s developers. Johri said Courseseek lasted two quarters with up-to-date data because CAESAR “constantly keeps changing not only its outward appearance but the structure, how they’re coding all the information.� “I thought it would be cool to have a more official, direct way to get data that would make things much easier for student apps in the future,� Wu said. Wu, along with former ASG academic vice president Sofia Sami (Weinberg ‘14) and the Courseseek developers, approached administrators last academic year with the idea. He said they discussed the growing national trend of students using programming to solve campus problems and “how unproductive it is when universities don’t support them,� citing a Yale University incident in January when the administration shut down a student-created, user-friendly replica of the school’s online course catalog. “The particular way we approached it was as a pilot,� Sami said. “We pitched it on the brand of innovation and entrepreneurship at Northwestern, which is something that Northwestern is trying

to grow towards more and it fit pretty snugly into that kind of space.� Administrators were concerned with whether University data would remain confidential and how it would be used, Sami said, but the students eventually got NU’s support and agreed to have the administration review project applications before allowing access to the course data. ASG piloted a beta version of the API at the RedesigNU hackathon in April, a 24-hour competition that allowed students to reinvent NU web services, including CAESAR and Wildcat Connection. Sami said the API was largely planned with the hackathon in mind. Most of the project submissions at the end of the hackathon used the beta version of the API, Wu said. Now that the API has officially launched, Wu is getting in touch with the Registrar’s Office to review project applications and is looking for current students to continue working on the interface. Johri, who called the launch a “relief,� said he is also looking for students to help work on his own project. “I’m definitely looking to get Courseseek back up and running,� he said.

of heterosexual women are affected, along with an even lower percentage of heterosexual men. Feinberg Prof. Richard Carroll, senior author of the review, said in a news release gay people may refrain from reporting abuse, implying the possibility of higher abuse numbers. He attributed this to fear of discrimination as a minority or of disclosing sexual identity before willing to do so. Those involved may internalize homophobia, which makes cases of same-sex domestic violence more complex. The review noted that perpetrators may manifest their negative selfimage through violent acts. On the other hand,

victims may feel they “deserve� the violence because of a negative view of their own sexual orientation, according to the review. Victims of same-sex domestic violence often struggle to access services, further complicating the problem, the scientists found. Most shelters for domestic violence victims are for females, making it difficult for lesbian women to find a safe haven away from their female abusive partners. Such shelters are almost nonexistent for men, gay or not. Legal action is also often inaccessible for gay and bisexual people. Many states do not include same-sex couples in their domestic violence statutes, and some even deny victims

Neuroscience club works to create related major unexplored and it’s a place where all these sciences can be combined.” The club, which is open to all students, began to take shape after Hug contacted neurobiology Prof. Catherine Woolley, he said. “I was told (Woolley) was extremely passionate about undergraduate neuroscience research,” Hug said. “We found people who were passionate about the project and started sending out information.” In addition to developing the new major, the club also works to dispel myths, such as the misconception that people only use 10 percent of their brains. “(Some myths) get published frequently with a lot of conviction and trick people,” Hug said. He said the club hopes to show people “how far we have to go to still understand our brains.” In the spring, the club hosted a screening and a discussion of the neuroscience behind the 2010 film “Inception” and presented a lecture about perception as part of NU Splash!, a program for NU students to design and teach courses to Chicago-area high school students. Vice president Tori Larsen, a Weinberg senior, said the club hopes to do more community outreach this year, including teaching neuroscience lessons at a local elementary school. “Neuroscience is a very interdisciplinary field in itself and I want to make sure we make it so,” Larsen said. “It’s not just an engineering club or a science majors club. It’s for everybody.”

A new student group focused on promoting a better understanding of neuroscience is working this year to make the discipline an undergraduate major at Northwestern. Founded during Spring Quarter 2014, Northwestern University Neuro Club is currently in contact with administrators from the Weinberg School of Arts of Sciences to develop the new major for students in addition to furthering general neuroscience knowledge at NU. President Nicholas Hug, a Communication sophomore, said the University has a neurobiology concentration, but that serves as only one part of neuroscience as a whole. Neuroscience is not only the study of the brain but also a “merging point” for the fields of civics, chemistry, math and biology, McCormick junior Brendan Frick said. Frick leads the club in reviewing scientific papers. He said the University offers programs in neurobiology, psychology and communication sciences and disorders, but a central neuroscience major would appeal to students who are unsure of what to study. “It would be more attractive to students who don’t know what they want to do, but want to go into the field anyway,” Frick said. “(Neuroscience) is becoming the next frontier, because it’s very

Two-day Evanston clinic provides free dental care By stephanie kelly

the daily northwestern @StephanieKellyM

A clinic that gives free dental services to those in need performed more than $100,000 worth of procedures to about 100 people at an event in Evanston earlier this month, according to a news release. Dental Access Days, a two-day clinic in its sixth year in the Chicago area, was held Sept. 5 to 6 this year and offered cleanings, fillings, extractions and partial dentures. Residents from Evanston and

nearby areas who were identified by social service agencies as the most in need for treatments were given priority. According to the American Dental Association, a lack of insurance, transportation or finances contributes to unstable dental health. According to the Dental Access Days’ website, the event provided $111,000 worth of services, compared with $95,600 worth of services in 2013. More than 60 volunteers from the Evanston Lighthouse Rotary Club transformed the Levy Senior Center, 300 Dodge Ave., into a 10-chair clinic with enough equipment for local dentists and

hygienists to perform the procedures. It cost about $8,000 to put on the two-day clinic, according to the Dental Access Days website. The Giving Hand Foundation and the Pankey Institute, both nonprofit organizations, originally funded Dental Access Days and first partnered with Evanston in 2008. However, the first Evanston clinic was held in 2010. “Maintaining good oral health is not only essential to our day-to-day comfort, it can prevent future, more serious dental problems and reduce other health risks, like diabetes,” Evanston Health Department director Evonda Thomas-Smith said

in a news release. During the weekend clinics, one woman came to the clinic with her top three front teeth missing, and the volunteer dentists were able to create partial dentures for her. “When they put the partial into her mouth and she looked in the mirror for the first time … well you can guess what happened,” said Bill McKinley, the director of operations for Dental Access Days, in a news release. “It was a touching moment for everyone, volunteers and patients alike.” stephaniekelly2017@u.northwestern.edu

Domestic violence calls for support, not judgment bethany Ao

Daily columnist

My heart dropped when I logged onto Twitter one morning and saw the video of former Baltimore Ravens star Ray Rice punching his then-fiancee in the face. Social media blew up almost immediately after the tape was released by TMZ — people everywhere were calling the NFL out for handling the situation poorly. Some even directly addressed Janay Rice, telling her she should leave her husband and the situation. Things got even messier as people started accusing NFL commissioner Roger Goodell of deliberately covering the situation up before the video leaked, allowing him to punish Rice with only a two-game suspension. After footage depicting the elevator punch surfaced, the NFL suspended Rice indefinitely. The fact that Rice hit his then-fiancee is sickening. The fact that the NFL only initially suspended Rice for two games when players have been handed harsher punishments for testing positive for marijuana is sickening. But the fact that what happened allowed people

– many of whom have never dealt with or seen domestic violence – to pass judgment and even deem themselves qualified to offer his wife advice is the most sickening to me. This summer, I witnessed someone I care about getting hit by her partner during a particularly bad fight. When I ran in the door, words cannot describe the horror and helplessness I felt when I saw him acting violently toward her. After the incident, I tried to talk to her about it. I pleaded with her to leave the house for a while because I truly felt like it wasn’t a safe place for her to be. “If it happened once, it can happen again,” I insisted over and over again. At first she agreed with me and promised to start looking for apartments in the area, but after just a few days, she began to slip. “He’s not usually like this,” she said to me. “You know this.” The thing was I did know. As I grew more confused about how I felt about the situation, I became even more frustrated with her. I wanted her to leave because walking away is the obvious answer to the problem, but at the same time I knew she bore many of the responsibilities of keeping her family together. I tried talking to my friends about what I

was dealing with. A few urged me to tell the couple to seek professional help, but mostly they just listened. They knew that it was going to be hard for them to say anything that would make me feel Be better, and I apprecisensitive and ated that. I didn’t want to let what I was going understanding through with my loved and don’t push ones take over my life, them to do and they helped me focus on other things something when I needed to take they’re not a break. ready to do. Meredith Vieira revealed recently in an interview that she was once in an abusive relationship and that it took her a while to leave her partner, whom she loved. She called it a “complicated issue,” and that’s what it truly is – even though it is not often recognized as such. It isn’t as black and white as you’ve probably made it out to be in your head. Yes, domestic violence is always wrong — something I’m still trying to make the person in my life understand — and it should never happen. But to walk away from a situation like that takes a lot of courage that,

“

frankly, many people still have to find within themselves. Janay Rice changed her Instagram account settings to private after people attacked her defense of her husband. She said her family was trying to move past what had happened. She also called out the media for trying to hurt, embarrass and ostracize them. And she’s right – no one is in the position to tell her family how to heal from the abuse. That’s something they should figure out for themselves. So I’m urging you, as someone who has witnessed domestic violence firsthand, to refrain from giving oversimplified advice to your friends if you see them struggling with domestic violence. When they decide to walk away from the situation, support their decision. But in the meantime, be sensitive and understanding and don’t push them to do something they’re not ready to do. Trust me, it means so much to know that a friend is really there for you – and not just judging you. Bethany Ao is a Medill sophomore. She can be reached at bethanyao2017@u.northwestern.edu.

Say ‘No’ to FOMO, take time to settle into campus Jordan Bascom

Daily columnist

FOMO, the acronym for “fear of missing out,” is now a widely used term in 21st century lingo. We have this special new word that describes the acute anxiety and regret of knowing you failed to take advantage of an occasion – or, in more pitiable circumstances, you weren’t even afforded the opportunity to partake in such activities. FOMO is most often applied in social contexts. It’s almost impossible to avoid, as social media requires us to document evidence of all encounters to prove their existence. Oh, you had to study for your fifth set of midterms and couldn’t attend the football game? All your friends went out last night but conveniently forgot to invite you? Well, too bad: One glance through Facebook will tell you just how much fun everyone had without you. You missed out, bro. The reach of FOMO, however, extends beyond the social realm, impinging upon our academic and professional decisions. This is especially notable in our Northwestern community, which provides us with an abundance of resume-building options. Not only must we judiciously choose our classes and fields of study, we must also determine which student groups to join, what jobs or internships to have, where to volunteer, etc. The eagerness to overcommit strains our time and opportunity costs abound. At its core, FOMO is motivated by insecurity. If you’re confident you made the right

choice, you’re less likely to believe you were mistaken and therefore missed out on something else. Perhaps it’s a symptom of our generation; when we have instant access to information, regarding people’s lives or any given prospect, there’s always a visual reminder of what we’re not doing. Though the catchy term is often used with self-deprecation and affability, FOMO is an unhealthy trend. The anxiety it causes stems from comparing yourself to others, which everyone knows is a dangerous game to play and an equally easy trap to fall into.

Instead of looking at your peers to gauge your personal satisfaction, turn your gaze inward and evaluate your priorities. You might be indecisive or you might be impulsive, so maybe it’s uncomfortable to make more deliberate choices. There are things beyond your personal control, a fact that will make life easier the sooner you accept it. Decisions are within your control, though their outcomes less so. If your friends don’t invite you to hang out with them, it sucks, but it’s not indicative of your self-worth (maybe consider getting new friends though).

As it’s the start of a new school year, you might feel the pressure to sign up for everything – I’m looking at you, freshmen – but you should abstain from enlisting in things gratuitously. Take some time to learn about the different clubs and groups on campus. Sign up for those most important or interesting to you. Predicate your decisions on maximizing happiness and minimizing regrets. Say NO to FOMO. This year, NU introduced a new recruitment freeze for all student groups, which will end after the first week of classes. This is a smart move by the University. It will allow new students time to settle into campus and experience a week of academics before they commit to extracurriculars. The Registered Student Organizations Activities Fair takes place on Sept. 27, heralding the end of the recruitment freeze, and it can be an overwhelming event for first timers who don’t know what’s offered or what they’re interested in. As eager-beaver overachievers, we all know it never hurts to do a little extra homework. If you find you can’t sleep because you’re too excited to join all the things, do some background research before the fair on all the opportunities NU has to offer. A particularly handy resource is Wildcat Connection, the student organization directory. You can read all about dozens of a cappella groups, community service projects, club sports and theater groups. The more information you have, the more informed your decisions will be (and the less likely you’ll be to suffer from FOMO). Jordan Bascom is a Weinberg senior.

AN OPEN LETTER TO NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY This isn’t just in Chicago. It’s not just in Illinois. It’s not just in the US. It’s everywhere. A violent crime problem has been “overlooked” for the last 45 years by city, state and Federal government, not just in the US, but around the world. Repeated efforts to bring it out into the open have been continually sidetracked in the General Assembly and in the Chicago City Council. Every so often, someone is taken hostage, driven to an ATM, forced to make a withdrawal, executed and the body hidden so the killer can clean out the bank account with the card. Every once in a while, a murder provokes political action, a committee is formed and the police recommend tracking forced withdrawals. Every time, that recommendation fails. That makes it easier for the criminal to get away with his next murder. The families of the victims almost always withdraw so that they can grieve in private, so they don’t make a fuss. After a few days, everyone forgets the problem. So the problem never gets exposed. Having integrated the murders and the wrongful death lawsuits into the business model, the banks continue with business as usual and just deduct the litigation cost from overhead. In Illinois, the police have been recommending tracking this crime pattern for decades, but the General Assembly has blocked every attempt to fix the problem. Normally, crime patterns are tracked by the numbers used in the crime statutes. Forced ATM withdrawals get lumped in with robbery because there is no crime code section for “forced-ATM-withdrawal.” House Bill 3914 (2011), would have solved this problem. It passed the General Assembly unanimously but was killed in a Senate subcommittee on the spurious grounds that it was not CLEAR compliant and the punishment was too harsh, (a class 1 felony vs a class 2 felony). So police still can’t connect Crime A in City A to Crime B in City B, compare evidence, solve the case and make an arrest before Crime C in City C. In short, the General Assembly has been looking the other way while people are murdered. The lack of a crime code section also keeps the public blind about the extent of the problem. This blind spot isn’t just in Illinois, not just in the US, but in every country around the world as well. If you’re the head of marketing at Chase Bank, how many of these murders each year is good news? A backdoor method of researching the body count is possible though. A Freedom of Information Act Request to the Rockford PD showed that over 5 years, there were 3 murders out of 102 that involved the suspect using the victim’s ATM card. Statewide, that’s roughly 21 murders in 2013. The Chicago PD and the Illinois State Police refused to comply with similar requests. There’ve been efforts in the past to solve this problem by mandating a reverse emergency PIN system for ATM users. In January 2004, the system was made mandatory. In August, without notifying the original witnesses, a follow on bill, HB4652, was passed that gutted the original bill. The official justification for the follow on bill was that it would give tort immunity to banks for using the system. In fact, what the law did was grant tort immunity to banks that don’t use the system. That’s not a typo. The law discourages even the voluntary use of the system. In other words, the State of Illinois gave Doyle Parker, Robert Armfield, Lyn Weis, Mark Evans, James Keniski, Carol Andrews, Wilber Harden, Natasha Cleary and her two young children a chance to call for help, then snatched it out of their hands. God only knows how many others could have been saved. If it had been available, serial killers like Gary Michael Hilton; John “The Grim Sleeper Ewell; and Illinois’ favorite son, Bruce Mendenhall would probably have been caught sooner.

IT IS A MAXIM OF THE LAW AND THE BIBLE THAT “SILENCE GIVES CONSENT.” PAT QUINN, LISA MADIGAN AND RAHM EMMANUEL HAVE BEEN REMAINING SILENT ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS. WITHIN 72 HOURS OF GIVING THE ORDER, THEY COULD FULLY INFORM THE PUBLIC. NO ONE HAS ENOUGH MONEY TO OUTBID THE BANKING INDUSTRY ON THIS, BUT IF ENOUGH PEOPLE START TALKING ABOUT HOW AND WHY THIS PROBLEM WAS COVERED UP FOR SO LONG, MAYBE THAT WILL FIX IT.

Evanston transit survey targets NU students, staff By Jennifer Ball

daily senior staffer @jennifercball

Evanston is asking Northwestern students and staff to weigh in on public transportation options in the city through a survey that is being released as the new academic year begins. The transit survey, initially targeted at Evanston residents, polled users on their satisfaction with the current state of public transit and the possibility of extended Purple Line Express hours and additional bus routes. The poll received more than 1,450 responses. The Chicago Transit Authority has addressed Purple Line Express trains through the launch of the Red and Purple Modernization program in November 2013, a $1.7 billion initiative. The long-term project aims to upgrade tracks and rebuild stations along the two CTA lines to allow the CTA to increase its ridership and better serve customers. CTA received a $35 million federal grant in August to fund the first phase of the RPM project, which will likely begin in 2017. The initial stage of construction will rebuild sections of the Red Line and construct

New bill aims to prevent drug abuse, encourage take-back programs

U.S. Rep. Bill Foster (D-Naperville) introduced a bill Friday to prevent prescription drug abuse and develop initiatives to help people receive treatment. The bill, titled the Opioid Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act of 2014, encourages cities to host drug take-back programs, where residents can dispose of unused or unwanted prescription drugs. Evanston will host its ninth drug tack-back day this week. The Drug Enforcement Administration reported Americans turned in about 780,158 pounds of prescription drugs at a take-back day last April at about 6,100 sites operated by the administrations and its partner. The Evanston Police Department and the DEA are organizing a National Drug Take Back Day, which will take place Saturday at the Evanston Police Department Service Desk, 1454 Elmwood Ave., police said.

IN Transit A Purple Line Express train arrives at the Dempster station in Evanston. An upcoming poll from city officials will ask Northwestern students their opinions on the availability of public transportation options in Evanston.

This is the ninth time in four years in which Evanston has given residents the opportunity to return their prescription drugs through a free and anonymous service, police said. In addition to recommending increased participation in drug take-back programs, Foster’s bill will also help create programs to effectively share information about drug prescription and use. “Easy access to prescription drugs is leading too many young people down the path of addiction and opening the door to abuse of other opioids like heroin,” Foster said in a news release. Prescription drug abuse is a large problem in the United States, with 1.7 million 12- to 15-year-olds abusing prescription drugs for the first time in 2011, according to a survey by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The legislation would also require that a review be conducted to determine whether general access to lifesaving drugs, such as Naloxone, should be increased by granting them over-the-counter status. — Rebecca Savransky

a Red-Purple bypass to eliminate delays. Further phases of the program will involve similar renovations on the Purple Line. After the survey results are gathered, Evanston officials will discuss Purple Line Express hours with transit authorities, city manager Wally Bobkiewicz said in an email to The Daily. The express trains currently run only during rush hour. During non-rush hours, passengers must transfer at the Howard stop to the Red Line. Preliminary results from the poll released in midAugust showed that 47 percent of participants supported a CTA bus route in Evanston that would stop downtown and in the central business district. The poll is part of an initiative of the city’s Age Friendly Task Force, whose mission is to improve the city’s livability for both young and old residents. The results of the poll will be presented at the Transportation and Parking Committee meeting on Oct. 22, said Ylda Capriccioso, Evanston’s intergovernmental affairs coordinator, whose office works with transit authorities such as Metra, CTA and Pace. jenniferball2015@u.northwestern.edu

National News McKinney: professor’s speech violated UConn ethics HARTFORD — A University of Connecticut economics professor violated professional restrictions against political speech recently when he made disparaging remarks about Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Foley to a university newspaper, Senate Minority Leader John McKinney charged on Friday. But UConn President Susan Herbst is standing by Fred Carstensen, professor of finance and economic and director of the Connecticut Center for Economic Analysis and his rights to free speech. McKinney, in a two-page letter to Herbst, said he believed that Carstensen, in a recent interview with the Yale Daily News, crossed the line when he said that if Foley were elected in 2010, “the economy would have been much worse off ” and “Foley would have given us the worst recession

since World War II.” McKinney, a graduate of Yale and the UConn School of Law, said in an interview Friday that state law and UConn’s code of ethics prohibits partisan political activity. “Professor Carstensen’s comments are so over the line, they are more partisan political speech than they are economic analysis,” McKinney said in a phone interview. “I read Professor Carstensen’s remarks and was disturbed at how simply outrageous and unsupported those comments were.” “I’m a big fan of (Susan Herbste), but UConn has an obligation to not get drawn into political partisanship on the eve of an election.” Carstensen did not return a request for comment. ­— Ken Dixon (Connecticut Post)

Wildcats suffer familiar fate in weekend losses By ALEX LEDERMAN

Northwestern experienced a sense of deja vu Sunday. Tied 0-0 with just over five minutes left to play in the second overtime, Indiana senior midfielder Tori Keller beamed a kick from the sideline, just 10 yards off the endline, toward the NU goal, where her fellow senior midfielder Abby Smith headed the ball past NU freshman goalkeeper Lauren Clem. And just like that the game was over. Because of the golden goal rule in college soccer overtime, the Wildcats walked off the field with another loss in the final minutes. “We’re always really, really close and then there’s some sort of a breakdown,� coach Michael Moynihan said. The matchup eerily resembled the one played just two days earlier against Purdue. Again from just 10 yards out and five minutes to play in overtime, NU gave up the gamewinning goal. The referees’ calls at the ends of both games were controversial; the foul called Sunday on NU that led to Indiana’s free kick was questionable, and the lack of a foul call against Purdue on Friday during the final play was also suspect. “That’s the second game in a row where a decisive call has gone against us and led to the game winner,� Moynihan said after Sunday’s loss. “I think they felt guilty taking it because everybody

In total, Vault and Jackson got 27 of NU’s 41 carries. “We’ve got great trust in them,� coach Pat Fitzgerald said after the game. “But as a freshman you’re learning and growing.

DRIBBLING DEJA VU Senior Sami Schrakamp dribbles the dall during Northwestern’s game against Indiana. Schrakamp scored Friday against Purdue, but the Wildcats lost in doubleovertime to both the Boilermakers and Hoosiers.

here knows how bad it was, but having said that, we’ve got to defend the set piece better.� “We can’t leave the game in a position to be decided by the official, which we’ve done,� he added. “We’ve come out on the wrong end of several really, really harsh decisions. It’s hard to stomach, but that’s what builds character, I guess.� This weekend piles on to what has been a frustrating start to conference play for the Cats. In their conference opener, NU squared off against defending Big Ten champion Nebraska.

The Cats jumped out to an early lead off an unassisted goal by senior midfielder Sami Schrakamp, but they gave up a goal in the 87th minute and were forced to settle for a tie. Then against Iowa, NU lost 1-0. With this weekend’s two losses, the Cats fall to 0-3-1 in conference play, with all three losses coming by just one goal. “We have to be better in the final third, and we have to capitalize on opportunities, because we were the better team,� Moynihan said after

much on them.� The highlight of Jackson’s big game came with just under 10 minutes to play in the third quarter, when he shot through a gap, dodged past a defender and dashed 21 yards to the end zone. “The corner came hard off the edge,� Jackson recalled postgame, “so I cut up off our superback. I saw the free safety or maybe the (weakside linebacker) coming hard over the top, so I cut back underneath him and there was green grass in front of me.�

Fitzgerald wouldn’t discuss how carries will be divided in future weeks but said the freshmen have proved capable of handling a bigger workload. The strong performances from Jackson and Vault capped a hectic week, during which they shuffled between football responsibilities and the Wildcat Welcome programming the rest of their class participated in. Vault and Jackson both said they are increasingly friendly off the field and supportive of each other on

Sunday’s loss. “This is the third game in a row where we’ve been the better team and have come away on the wrong end of a one-goal loss.� And that’s where the Cats’ second round of deja vu comes in. Their early 2014 season woes strikingly parallel their 2013 season, a season in which they finished dead last in the Big Ten with only one conference win. All of the 2013 pitfalls are back: Being unable to finish in the attacking third, losing by a single goal regularly, outplaying opponents only to walk away with a loss, being on the losing end of a number of controversial calls and, of course, bad luck. NU dominated time of possession Sunday against Indiana, and outplayed the Hoosiers nearly the whole game. But they couldn’t do what mattered most: putting the ball in the back of the net. Although the Cats outshot Indiana 12-5 and 9-3 on goal, they still walked away with a 1-0 loss. They also outshot Purdue 11-10 and tied Iowa with 10 shots apiece. Still, just like last year’s squad, the bright spots have been there. Sophomore forward Addie Steiner has filled the scoring void left by graduated forward Kate Allen and midfielder Julie Sierks. Although Steiner was one of the team’s stars last year, it took her until the 14th game to actually score a goal. But not this year. Steiner already has 6 goals, more than any player on the team last year. Still, all of these goals came from the first four nonconference games of the season, and she has gone six straight contests without a goal. The Cats are scoring much better overall as a team, too. NU already has 13 goals this season — only 3 less than they had all of last year. Schrakamp and freshman Kim Jerantowski have been key contributors to the scoring uptick, with 2 goals each. The freshman goalkeeper, Clem, has been strong so far as well, with 32 saves and a .821 save percentage. The Cats lace up again Friday against Penn State and look to rebound with their first conference win. alexanderlederman2017@u.northwestern.edu it.

“We have to be there for each other,� Vault said. “Freshmen have to be there for each other. When he does good, I get happy, and when I do good he’s the first one there on the sidelines.� Or, as Jackson said, “It’s really awesome when someone else scores and you’re just as excited as when you score.� asputt@u.northwestern.edu

DaeDaeWorld Weekend Members of the Evanston community took part in the second annual DaeDaeWorld Weekend on Sept. 19 to 20. The event, hosted by the Dajae Coleman Foundation, honored the life of Dajae Coleman, an Evanston teenager who was shot and killed Sept. 22, 2012. The weekend kicked off with a Family Fun Night held at the Fleetwood-Jourdain Community Center, 1655 Foster St. The night included roller skating, a DJ and other activities geared toward reinforcing the positive impact of family on the lives of Evanston’s youth. Following Friday’s Family Fun Night, the foundation also hosted a Family Fitness Day, The Challenge: Evanston and DC3 E-Town Ballers Basketball Game. Both the Family Fitness Day and The Challenge: Evanston were new additions to the annual memorial weekend. Coleman was an honor roll student and a member of the Evanston Township High School basketball feeder team. Saturday’s basketball game featured some of his friends and teammates in a rematch against Coleman’s former coaches and his family.

Hispanic Heritage Month Evanston hosted a Hispanic Heritage Month kick-off celebration Saturday, complete with musicians, art, food and dancing. The city and Latino Resources presented the event, held at the Robert Crown Center, 1701 Main St. It included performances from Mariachi Northwestern, the Salcedo Group and Tierra y Luz de Mexico, among others. A presentation of the Latino Resources 2014 scholarship recipients also took place during the celebration. The theme for this year’s National Hispanic Heritage Month is “Hispanics: A legacy of history, a present of action and a future of success.” Several other celebratory events are being held throughout the month, including a Day of the Dead concert and a Heritage Festival.

Northwestern is finally in the win column. After a difficult first two weeks of the season, the Wildcats (1-2) rode a strong ground game and a bend-butdon’t-break defense to a 24-7 victory over FCS opponent Western Illinois (2-2). The day belonged to true freshman running backs Justin Jackson and Solomon Vault, who dazzled new students and old fans alike by combining to score all three of NU’s touchdowns. Jackson was the workhorse of the offense, taking 21 carries for 92 yards and a score. Vault, meanwhile, had a more limited role but made the most of his six touches by finding the end zone twice. “We ran the ball 41 times, I think we trust them pretty well,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said of the dynamic duo. “They’ve handled everything we’ve thrown at them, and they’ll continue to have more put on their plates.” But beyond the rushing attack, it wasn’t a particularly great game for the Cats. Senior quarterback Trevor Siemian was a check-down machine, throwing 25 passes for just 117 yards (a dismal 4.7 yards per attempt) and no touchdowns. Fitzgerald leveled some blame on the receiving corps. “We’ve been a different wide receiver unit every week,” he said. “We don’t think collectively there’s enough trust and continuity with this group.” Siemian didn’t have to do much with Jackson and Vault in the backfield

“I was incredibly focused, had a perfect breakfast,” Carpenter said. “I felt balanced, I felt composed. Some days the ball just looks like a beach ball and yesterday was one of those days. My angles were good, I was aggressive, I was able to step out on a few and break up plays before I had to save a shot so that was definitely a difference-maker.” In Fuchs’ eyes, Carpenter was a huge difference-maker on Saturday. “I don’t think she’s had to make that many saves for quite a long time,” Fuchs said. “She stepped up big, and she’s a senior captain and we expect that from her, but she faced some tough shots. She was there for most of them.” Against Ball State on Sunday, NU took on the role Maryland was supposed to play. The Cats came out swinging, defeating the Cardinals 5-1 with five different players scoring goals. NU outplayed Ball State with 15 penalty corners and 21 shots with 14 on goal against five penalty corners and nine shots with seven on goal. “All the games are important,” sophomore Isabel Flens, who scored her 8th season goal against Ball State, said. “We have to make sure to get as many as we can, whether we play Maryland or Ball State, it doesn’t matter. We just need to get our wins.” With a win against a top-five team and a lashing against Ball State, expect the No. 15 Wildcats to jump up a few spots to possibly the top ten in the rankings this week.

The wind was howling at Lakeside Field, but it wasn’t strong enough to push either team to victory. In its second Big Ten fixture of the season, Northwestern (3-1-3, 0-1-1 Big Ten) slogged to a scoreless tie against Michigan (1-3-2, 0-0-2). Graduated NU midfielder Chris Ritter, who now plays professionally for the Chicago Fire, was in attendance, but his presence wasn’t enough to spark a win. The first half was a back-and-forth affair, characterized by swarming defense, short possessions and chippy play. Junior forward Joey Calistri, who leads the team this season with 3 goals, was involved with the Cats’ best offensive chance in the 33rd minute. Sophomore midfielder Jeffrey Hopson had a clean shot from 15 yards out and blasted it off the left post. Calistri corralled the rebound and had a look at an open net, but pushed his attempt just wide left of the goal. Newcomer Sam Forsgren had a busy period but struggled to generate anything substantial. The freshman midfielder had a pair of good-looking crosses from the left side of the box late in the first half, but each found nothing but open grass as they bounced out across the far touchline. “I think it’s people maybe making the wrong run or just running to the wrong place,” Forsgren said about the errant balls. “I don’t think it’s a lack of effort at all, just a lack of communication.” Otherwise, there wasn’t much offense to speak of in the opening frame, with both teams playing an aggressive defense and repeatedly dispossessing each other in the middle third. That chippiness continued in the second half, highlighted by senior defender Grant Wilson hipchecking a Michigan player off the ball. Th play earned the Cats’ second booking of the game. And accordingly, Forsgren remained busy. “He’s really coming on,” coach Tim Lenahan said of Forsgren. “Now he’s starting to get a feel for (the game), and I think it’s really going to add to our attack.” In the 56th minute, he brought the ball up the left touchline and found Calistri at the near corner of the six-yard box. Calistri used a fancy pivot kick to get around his defender, but the attempt floated wide right of the net. Forsgren found Calistri again in the 59th minute, this time on a cross that Calistri tried to redirect with a back heel kick from the middle of the box. NU’s go-to goal scorer made good contact but once again pushed the shot wide right. The active freshman also had a chance to capture glory for himself just two minutes later, leaping up to head on a ball that was played into the box. Forsgren was past every defender, but Michigan goalkeeper Adam Grinwis boldly came off his line to beat Forsgren to the ball and punch it away. The Cats stumbled upon a rare chance as the game dragged into the second overtime period. Junior midfielder Cole Missimo poked the ball through the legs of a defender and raced past two more to find open space inside the box near the end line. He crossed it to Calistri, whose shot was deflected away. Sophomore midfielder Brandon Medina found himself with the ball near the top of the box with plenty of room, but hesitated just a moment too long and sent his shot a foot over the crossbar with Wolverine defenders closing in. As the clock expired, NU looked defeated and exhausted in spite of the result. “(Frustration) builds on you, especially in overtime,” Forsgren said. “Your body starts to wear down and you’re just waiting for someone to put one away.” The Cats will have the opportunity to vent that frustration Wednesday when they host crosstown foe DePaul.

but struggled to find his receivers downfield and also committed a costly fumble inside the red zone. On that series, NU started with the ball on the Western Illinois 4-yard line thanks to a punt block by another freshman, Keith Watkins II. Highlighting the Cats’ recent struggles with short-yardage situations, the offense failed to punch it in on two running plays before Siemian dropped back and lost the ball. NU’s play calling was more aggressive than in past weeks, including a pair of fourth down attempts and an effective jet sweep wrinkle for junior wide receiver Miles Shuler, but the Cats were outgained on the day by the Leathernecks, 376-283. It was a strange day for the defense, which managed to hold Western Illinois to just one touchdown despite giving up so many yards. “We were content to let them dink and dunk all day,” Fitzgerald said of

the yardage disparity. “We didn’t think they would be able to run consistently against us, and they weren’t.” Sophomore defensive end Ifeadi Odenigbo was the standout performer, recording two sacks and three forced fumbles as a pass rush specialist off the bench. “I feel like the coaches put me in more and I was able to take advantage of it,” Odenigbo said of his breakout play. Behind him, the secondary continued to struggle. Cornerbacks sophomore Matthew Harris and junior Nick VanHoose were continually picked on, allowing Leathernecks quarterback Trenton Norvell to rack up 293 yards through the air. Making matters worse, star safety senior Ibraheim Campbell left the game in the second quarter with a lower body injury and did not return. “I think I responded pretty well

today,” VanHoose said, “being more aggressive and just trying to make plays any way I can.” The defense was helped by another great day from junior punter Chris Gradone. After a rough game against Cal, he had a bounceback game against Northern Illinois and continued that trend against Western Illinois, booting seven punts for an average of 44 yards, including one that rolled out of bounds inside the one-yard line. It was a win, but not a very convincing one against a lowly opponent. NU and its questionable pass defense will face a stiff test on the road next week against Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg. Bolstered by the victory, Fitzgerald was undeterred going forward. “I think we can win every game we play,” he said. “We won a football game and we can continue to win.” robertpillote2017@u.northwestern.edu

No. 15 Northwestern (6-3, 1-0 Big Ten) ordered some turtle soup over the weekend and boy was it tasty. The Wildcats faced off against No. 2 Maryland (5-2, 0-1 Big Ten) on Saturday, beating the Terrapins 3-2 behind 2 goals from junior Kelley Stump and eight saves from senior Maddy Carpenter. On Sunday, NU took on the Cardinals from Ball State (3-4) and won 5-1. Saturday, Stump was in the right place at the right time all game, forcing a penalty stroke in the crease early in the first half. That penalty stroke led to junior Lisa McCarthy’s goal to put NU ahead 1-0 going into halftime. In the second frame, Stump elevated a shot from junior Charlotte Martin above the Maryland goalie for Stump’s first goal. Her second came from a rebound off a penalty corner. “All of the goals were a result of really good team play, strong defense

and pushing the ball up the field,” Stump said. “I just happened to be on the other end.” During the week, coach Tracey Fuchs discussed welcoming the new Big Ten school in “Wildcat fashion” — physical, fast play. According to Carpenter, the Cats did just that. “We’ve had two years to prepare for Maryland entering the Big Ten,” Carpenter said. “We were definitely ready for it. I don’t think Maryland

was ready for how physical this game can be. They were sliding all over the turf, maybe got pushed around a little bit. They couldn’t handle it.” To the Terrapins’ credit, they outplayed NU throughout the game with 23 shots, 11 on goal and 12 corners compared to the Cats’ five shots, four on goal and only one corner. On the defensive side, Carpenter was ready for a game against a field hockey titan.
