SHUTDOWN AND SHUTOUT Redshirt freshman quarterback Clayton Thorson is sacked by a Michigan defender. The Cats suffered their first loss of the season in an embarrassing beatdown in the Big House by the Wolverines. NU gave up the most points it has all season while also scoring the fewest points it has all season.

Proposed city budget increase property taxes

Under Evanston’s proposed 2016 budget, city residents would see their property taxes rise 0.4 percent. The city released Friday its proposed budget for the next fiscal year, including a 10 percent growth from the 2015 budget. The proposed Evanston budget of nearly $295 million grew about $27 million from the previous year’s adopted budget to fulfill additional recommended spending on police and fire pensions. Without the instituted changes on pension payments, the budget growth amounts to about 4 percent from last year. The city built into the budget proposal an additional $1.5 million in suggested reductions and revenue adjustments with consideration to potential state funding cuts, city manager Wally Bobkiewicz said Friday. Gov. Bruce Rauner initially proposed a 50 percent decrease in funding to the Local Government Distributive Fund, which would deprive the city of $3.75 million. However, the state has been without a budget since the beginning of its fiscal year on July 1, postponing potential state cuts. Although the proposed city budget assumes Evanston will receive full state funding, it includes recommended reductions for if the state’s passed budget follows through in cutting payments to local governments. The largest suggested reductions include a freeze on some vacant positions in the police and fire departments, a measure that would amount to about $450,000 in savings. Other reductions include the elimination of the position of chief animal warden and a $50,000 decrease in the

city’s contribution to the Evanston Animal Shelter Association, which will become financially independent from the city this month. The proposed reductions would also eliminate stipends to city employees who use their own cell phones for work, a measure that city staff recommended this summer while preparing for potential state slashes. If the budget stalemate continues in Springfield for rest of the year, it is possible that Evanston could avoid the impact of budget cuts in 2015, Bobkiewicz told The Daily last month. However, the state cuts would affect the city in 2016, requiring compensations in the city’s own budget. “The prevailing economic climate has shown signs of improvement during the past year, however, the State remains an area of concern for the City of Evanston,” Bobkiewicz said in a news release Friday. “At time of publication, the State continues to operate without a budget for the past four months, since June 30, 2015. State legislators have passed a monthly budget, but have failed to address comprehensive statewide budget issues which may impact local revenue sources.” The budget also proposes to eliminate one full-time position in the Community Development Department and a part-time position at the Evanston Animal Shelter, Bobkiewicz said. However, City Council will have an option to add up to 1.9 full time equivalent positions, including staff at the Gibbs-Morrison Cultural Center and a special events coordinator. The proposed budget will be presented to City Council at its Oct. 19 meeting. There will also be a public hearing to address the budget on Oct. 24 and further discussion in November.

City police denied federal grant for body cameras

The Evanston Police Department will not receive a federal grant to purchase body-worn cameras that the city applied for last spring. The department discovered within the past week that it was denied the more than $600,000 grant, Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said. Although Dugan said the announcement was a disappointment, the department is willing to wait to implement body cameras until technology is cheaper and more efficient. “Body cameras are coming — they are definitely going to be part of policing in the future here,” Dugan said. “But there are some positives as far as taking our time before we jump right into something.” The Bureau of Justice Assistance grants will fund body cameras for departments partnering with researchers to examine the cameras’ effects. Researchers will analyze the process of internal investigations, privacy issues, community relationships and the benefit of the cameras considering their cost. Police departments in Milwaukee, Miami and Phoenix each received about

Prep school staffer charged with child porn possession

A staff member at Evanston’s Roycemore School was charged Friday with possession of child pornography after police found about 6,000 images and videos on his hard drive. Timothy King, a 44-year-old information technology coordinator at the school, was arrested Thursday following a police

The Feinberg School of Medicine launched a study this fall to assess the effectiveness of mobile devices in preventing college students from losing healthy behaviors. The study, called NU You, will track students’ habits using an app, in-person exams and social media. “The college years are a time when people lose between 13 and 20 percent of their long-term health,” said Prof. Bonnie Spring, the project’s principal investigator. When students get stressed, they tend to decrease healthy habits, such as eating right and exercising, and they increase harmful habits such as drinking and smoking, Spring said. Although these may seem innocuous in the short term, they can lead to premature illness and death over time, she said. “They don’t scream, they don’t cry, ‘Pay attention to me!’” Spring said. “They just slowly, over a long time, undermine your health and cause you to die early.” To curb these risk factors, Spring worked with project coordinator $630,000 to start body-camera programs. Aldermen decided to apply for the grant in February, when the city started considering body cameras. Although a new state law passed in August gave explicit permission for the use of body cameras, Evanston police still to harbor concerns over cost, privacy and necessity. A police body camera program in the Evanston is estimated to cost $400,000 for the first year and $200,000 each year afterward, Police Chief Richard Eddington told the Daily last month. Dugan said technology upgrades

Angela Pfammatter and a team of NU alumni to design NU You, which will assess the health of 500 current freshmen over two years. About 260 students have already enrolled, Spring said. Last year, the team conducted several focus groups to evaluate what students value most as well as what factors prevent them from maintaining a healthy lifestyle. A major topic of the conversations with students was the concept of “stress as a badge of honor,” with students competing to see who can go the furthest to do well academically at the expense of their health, Spring said. Spring and Pfammatter said students in the focus groups also expressed a need for help with time management. To address this, the team created a scheduling app for students in the study. The app will be synced with Canvas to track students’ classes, work and other obligations. It will also send reminders to help students track due dates for assignments and even recommend healthy ways to spend free time. “We also built it so that different » See NU YOU, page 9 could reduce some of the biggest costs of implementing body cameras, including purchasing the cameras, storing data and fulfilling Freedom of Information Act requests. Even if the city had received the grant, the department still would have engaged in conversations with the city and community before starting a body camera program, Dugan said. “People are going to want to talk about this,” he said. “It’s definitely going to be a community conversation.” — Julia Jacobs

Hecky’s Barbecue celebrates 32nd anniversary By BEN WINCK

the daily northwestern @BenWinck

More than three decades since its founding, Hecky’s Barbecue has become more than just a Chicago-area ribs restaurant. The barbecue joint has slowly evolved into a communitybuilding establishment thanks to its founder and owner Hecky Powell and his passion for social service. On Oct. 13, 1983, Powell opened the barbecue with his parents after his father was forced into retirement, Powell said. He said he worked at the restaurant each night after he finished his day job, which involved working as an administrator for Neighbors at Work, a social service provider in Evanston. Powell said he decided to resign from his previous job when he felt that social service programs, such as food stamps, were being exploited. He said he wanted to focus his efforts on the restaurant to make a more tangible impact on the employment of young Evanston residents. “I hired young people and worked with them, taught them the work ethic and how to do different things in the restaurant,” Powell

Northwestern donates first portion of $5 million gift to city

Northwestern has donated $1 million to Evanston in the first annual installment of a five-year gift announced last spring. Half of the first donation will help improve Sheridan Road through resurfacing and traffic signal upgrades. NU has invested the remaining half of the money in Evanston’s ambulance service, the

said. “I really enjoyed that because I was really doing something for these people.” Floyd Johnson, a longtime partner and friend of Powell’s, agreed that Powell is interested in supporting his community. “We’ve become somewhat of an institution in the community,” Johnson said. “(Powell) contributes a lot to the community, and we’re the first job for a lot of young people.” Powell said he prides himself on giving back to his community in unique ways. In addition to hiring people who have a hard time finding work, Powell said he supports Evanston’s youth by sponsoring local sports teams. Powell said he hopes to give back to his community further with a new business plan involving his popular barbecue sauce, which he began selling online in 2000 following attention the sauces received from local press. He plans to donate 10 percent of profits from online barbecue sauce sales to the Forrest E. Powell Foundation, an organization named after his father that grants scholarship money to high school students aiming to attend a trade school. Powell said the determination with which his father worked in a trade involving mostly manual labor inspired the namesake of the foundation. Additional donations come from Powell’s soda

brand, Juneteenth Strawberry Soda. All profits go directly to the foundation. “Not everybody’s made to go to college,” Powell said. “There’s nothing wrong with having a trade.” Powell said he attributes much of his knowledge and success to his father’s hard work and determination. “My dad told us, ‘Anything that you do, learn as much as you can from it’,” stated Powell. Zandra McDuffy, an employee at the restaurant for the past 18 months, said Powell is continuing to teach what he learned from his father to his young employees while creating a supportive and family-like connection between those who operate the restaurant. “This is home,” McDuffy said. “The music, the food, collectively what we do here… is what I like most.” Aracely Rodriguez, a four-year employee, added that the environment at Hecky’s is welcoming and friendly. “Everybody is always happy here, so everybody gets along,” Rodriguez said. “Hecky is always in the best mood, so it’s pretty fun every day.” Over time, Hecky’s Barbecue has grown to take up nearly four times as much space as it did when it was founded, Powell said.

Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl announced the $5 million gift at her annual State of the City address in March. “Northwestern University, our businesses, residents of Evanston, our schools and notfor-profits are … partners in making this city great,” Tisdahl said during the address. “So I say to you in confidence that we can and we will solve our challenges.” At a meeting between Tisdahl and University President Morton Schapiro last month,

they agreed the fire department will receive $200,000 to put toward its ambulance service. At-risk job training programs will receive $150,000 from the University. Two-thirds of that money will help develop new job training programs, one of which the City Council will likely approve this month. The city’s Youth and Young Adult Division will also receive $100,000, which will allow the department to add another full-time outreach worker. The rest of the money — $50,000 — will go to the mayor’s fund to assist families impacted by violent crime. The announcement comes

Prof discusses Ecuadorian politics By AARON LEWIS

the daily northwestern @louiee_A1

A professor from Truman State University spoke Friday afternoon about the history of Ecuadorian politics, saying the current progressive administration has reversed decades of conservative rule. In an event hosted by NU’s Latin American and Caribbean studies program, Prof. Marc Becker delivered a lecture in University Hall to more than 20 people and said the Ecuadorian economy today is expanding because of President Rafael Correa’s progressive policies — policies that departed from conservative administrations that concentrated power in elites and discouraged social movements. “If you piss off the oligarchy, you piss off the military, and they can come get you,” he said. Becker said he has taught Latin American

NU team leads data collection for Sunday’s Chicago Marathon

A team of Northwestern students and faculty released a mobile version of its multi-year data visualization project for Sunday’s Chicago Marathon. Led by McCormick Prof. Karen Smilowitz, the research team has been employing “dashboards” that simulate race day traffic and real time updates of the 26.2-mile race. For the first time, this year these dashboards were available virtually. The desktop version was accessible to authorized users only, while the mobile version was open to anyone. In addition, the research team employed timing chips attached to the shoes of participants to add real-time updates to their data. Sunday’s operation was part of a larger

history at Truman State for 16 years and has authored multiple books focused on Ecuadorian politics. He discussed Correa and his election, saying he is the country’s first “real” president because he is the first to care about its citizens. Becker pointed to an expanded economy and lower infant mortality rates that he said come from Correa’s progressive policies. He also said Correa is so popular in part because voters chose him in a particularly legitimate election. “If you remember 1993 in Bolivia, nobody remembered the presidential candidate’s election,” he said. “It is one of the key ideas in understanding indigenous politics in Latin America.” But Becker also said Correa’s style of politics is polarizing Ecuador, potentially leading to a more fractured system. Bianca Jimenez, assistant director of the Latin American and Caribbean studies program, said Becker was a welcome guest. endeavor by the NU research team, which began in 2013, and is the latest data to be added to the project’s eight years of race data on the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. “The Bank of America Chicago Marathon is a pioneer in the way they run the marathon, including using electronic data strategically to make an excellent race even better,” Smilowitz said in a news release. “Working together as a team, we have developed a dashboard that has all the important data in one place, enabling information-based decision making.” The custom-designed visualization was set up in two dashboards in the command tents. The NU team displayed information such as lead runner locations, runner density, medical tent capacity, temperature and other conditions on the screens. On Sunday, the researchers worked with a collection of data from every race since 2008. George Chiampas, the marathon’s medical director and professor at the Feinberg School of Medicine, is working with Smilowitz on the project.

The Daily Northwestern www.dailynorthwestern.com

“It is great to bring in faculty from other universities to interact with our faculty,” Jimenez said. “It is a part of academia, and the opinions and ideas discussed in the discussion were really important.” Maria Akchurin, an audience member who studies Ecuador, said she appreciated Becker’s focus on Correa’s presidency. “For me the most significant part was hearing Marc Becker reflect on the current political situation in Ecuador,” Akchurin said. “I had done some research in Ecuador and I had learned quite a bit on Ecuador’s contemporary history, so Correa was someone I had learned about.” Becker is one of two professors invited by the program this quarter to speak about issues related to Latin America. Patrick Iber, a professor at the University of Texas at El Paso, will visit Northwestern on Oct. 29 to talk about Latin American left-wing artists, writers and scholars during the Cold War. aaronlewis2019@u.northwestern.edu “Our data analytics collaboration continues to help the Bank of America Chicago Marathon best prepare for a mass gathering of the marathon’s magnitude — including medical preparedness, public safety and security,” Chiampas said in the release. “The visual computer simulation will help us foresee what is likely to occur before it does.” Smilowitz was stationed in a command tent on Sunday with three of her McCormick students: senior Samuel Young, and juniors Rachel Lin and Ryan Rose. Bruno Peynetti, a McCormick first-year graduate student, also ran the operation, while McCormick Ph.D. candidate Mehmet Basdere, who worked on researching race course design for the project, ran the marathon as a participant. The Sunday race was the Bank of America Chicago Marathon’s 38th annual marathon. About 45,000 runners dashed across Chicago’s streets for the event, which raises millions in charity money every year. — Alice Yin

Evanston debuts first Oktoberfest beer festival By MADISON BLANCHARD

the daily northwestern @madisoneblanch

Evanston hosted its first-ever Oktoberfest Sunday featuring craft beer from four local breweries. Oktoberfest was the result of a joint effort by breweries Peckish Pig, Smylie Brothers Brewing Co., Temperance Beer Company, FEW Spirits and Downtown Evanston, a local nonprofit organization that provides marketing and management services to the city’s downtown dining and shopping hub. “We believed we were filling a gap,” said Annie Coakley, Downtown Evanston’s executive director. “The craft brew movement has been going on for quite some time, but it really just started to take off here in Evanston.”

NU-Q researchers look at Middle East social media landscape

A survey this year from Northwestern’s Qatar campus found that Middle Eastern countries are seeing more optimism and less online criticism. The researchers looked at media use in Egypt, Lebanon, Qatar, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates, surveying more than 6,000 respondents,

Prof talks democracy in Africa

Evanston has long had a population of people who brew their own beer, but the city has never before been home to such a vibrant community of brewing companies, Coakley said. The event was the culmination of months of meetings between Downtown Evanston and the brewing companies, who sought an event that would showcase the craft beers in Evanston as well as act as a fundraising event for Downtown Evanston. The money raised will allow the organization to continue to provide special services for the downtown district, she said. VIP festival-goers were able to enjoy early admission starting at noon at the parking lot behind the Hilton Garden Inn, 1818 Maple, where a beer tent with samples of four year-round beers from each of the companies was featured, as well as a fall-themed brew and a specialty cocktail from FEW Spirits. Those who purchased general admission tickets

had access to the four year-round brews and other events starting at 1 p.m. Every ticket holder had access to live music, dancing and food available for purchase from the brewing companies. Debbie Evans, owner and executive chef of the Peckish Pig, one of the four beer companies to be featured at the festival, said her company was originally approached by Downtown Evanston to see if they would be interested in showcasing all breweries and brew pubs in the city. “They asked us, and we contacted everybody else and we all sort of got together, sat down, had a couple meetings and thought it would be a great idea to showcase all the beers that we brew in Evanston,” she said. While Evanston has a reputation for being a “dry city,” its craft breweries have actually become a vital aspect of the city’s identity, Coakley said. She said this is an exciting event for Evanston and its strong

community of beer enthusiasts. “People enjoy experiencing the craft beer, the special ingredients, the time and the craftsmanship that goes into making some of these beers that stand out,” she said. Josh Gilbert, founder of Temperance Brewing Company, said he is very excited to have an event purely focused on Evanston’s craft beer scene so soon after opening his brewery two years ago. “For me, personally, it’s kind of crazy that we started a couple of years ago and now it’s two years later and we’re having an all-Evanston beer fest,” he said. Craft beer brewed in Evanston has become a staple among locals, Coakley said. “It is definitely something that has put the city on the map,” she said.

Northwestern said a news release. The study concluded that overall, respondents expressed that their country was headed in the right direction. “When we conducted our first study in 2013, there was enthusiasm for the idea that the Arab Spring might mark the start of a movement toward more freedom of expression,” said Everette Dennis, dean of NU-Q and co-principal investigator of the study, in a news release. “That notion has been slowed by failures in places like Egypt, but the idea that the Arab Spring is dead remains unfounded. The thirst for social media in the

region, coupled with improved and transparent media coverage, represents some of the extremely positive conclusions within our report.” The study also found that from 2013, the Middle East saw a decline in Facebook and Twitter users, while users ballooned for Instagram and WhatsApp, which is now the most-used messaging application in the world, according to the press release. Fieldwork for the survey was completed in the winter, with results examined throughout spring quarter.

Currently, the study is funded for another three years with support from the Qatar National Research Fund and Doha Film Institute. “We have developed an interactive website that allows users to compare countries and sort data in a variety of ways,” Dennis said. “One of the project’s most exciting aspects is that our scientific approach has been accepted by each government. This allows us to discuss a topic like censorship, which is virtually taboo in the region.”

Political science Prof. Richard Joseph explored democracy in Africa and different ways to understand the global dynamics of the continent at a Buffett Institute for Global Studies event Friday. Joseph began his speech by defining the present as “a moment to step back” and review the development of Africa throughout history. “Being able to reflect on what’s happening globally, we can know how Northwestern can contribute in positive ways to understand those very complicated dynamics,” he said to a crowd of dozens of people. The talk was organized by the Buffett Institute and sponsored by the Program of African Studies. The audience comprised not only students and faculty but also former University President Henry Bienen. Joesph first looked back on how international dynamics have changed since 1989, especially how states have changed and developed. He noted the severity of problems including global terrorism and corruption in many African countries. He gave the example of Nigeria, summarizing its long struggle toward democracy being disrupted by the military’s agenda. He also commented on South Africa, saying its democracy is still missing in action. “Authoritarian (government) is unfortunately still very resilient,” he said. Medill graduate student Ali Martin was especially interested in Joseph’s observations of different African countries. “I like that he mentioned how different the countries’ journeys towards democracy are, such as those of Nigeria and South Africa,” she said. “It’s interesting to know that such diversity exists in the continent.” Joseph devoted much of his career to studying democracy in Africa, paying special attention to Nigeria, where he said he still focuses much of his work. He was the director of the African Governance Program at the Carter Center, a philanthropic nonprofit founded by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. He also facilitated elections missions in Zambia, Ghana and peace initiatives in Liberia. “What we talked about today is a big issue for both Northwestern and the Buffett Institute,” said Bruce Carruthers, director of the Buffett Institute. “More scholars should definitely think about it.” More research should focus on these topics in the future, Joseph said. “There should be more Northwestern students going to Africa and Nigeria,” he said at the end of the session. yawenjiao2019@u.northwestern.edu

Ground fliers on campus must be better regulated COLIN WANG

DAILY COLUMNIST

In Evanston, every autumn brings a transformation of Sheridan Road and the Northwestern campus. Thousands of students crowd the sidewalk between classes. Many wear sunglasses and short-sleeve T-shirts, relishing the final few days of balmy sun. As the inevitably cool and windy weather catches up, leaves begin to change color and fall. But at NU, the leaves are not the first things to blanket the ground. That distinction belongs to fliers. NU students obsess over taping fliers to the ground. Despite having bulletin boards, Facebook profiles, email lists and flat-screen TV’s dedicated to campus announcements, students at NU have their hearts set on plastering the ground with their notices. The ground outside Norris University Center annually becomes a patchwork quilt of event

dates and recruiting announcements, all secured in place by rolls upon rolls of masking tape. Parts of Sheridan Road begin to look like the world’s most poorly designed game of hopscotch. Assuming that placing fliers on the ground is even an effective advertising method, the effects are still ugly and wasteful. As I walked through campus observing the ground fliers, I thought about the total number of fliers stuck to the ground at any given moment. Last November, Associated Student Government sent out a team to count every flier taped to the ground within a Universitydesignated flyering zone. ASG’s team counted a whopping 4,180 fliers. To put that number into context, the entire U.S. version of the “Harry Potter” series totals 4,224 pages. If library printers were used to print every flier, the total cost would range between $293, for all black and white fliers, or $1,045, for color copies. The flier count was not, however, the most shocking fact. According to the same ASG team, nearly two-thirds of the 4,180 fliers were

“weathered past the point of legibility.” The ASG team counted nearly 2,800 pieces of useless trash taped to the ground. This is unacceptable. The excessive use of paper for fliers is not sustainable. I’m not saying printing fliers and taping them to the ground will directly deforest the Amazon rainforest. However, this kind of excessive practice contributes to the wasteful culture that drives up the demand for natural resources, such as paper, and negatively impacts our planet. It seems hypocritical that, despite boasting a desire to positively impact the world, the NU student body condones such a massive waste of paper. Additionally, as a flier weathers away, its paper and ink debris winds up flowing into the local watershed and finally Lake Michigan. Printer paper, especially, is exposed to toxic chemicals during the bleaching process which can leach out in water. To improve aesthetics and sustainability on campus, the ground fliers should be banned, or at the very least more restricted

and better regulated. The most obvious and glaring change needed is the addition of a clean-up clause. Such a clause would mandate that all groups remove their fliers after a certain duration or face a significant fine. Another option could be shrinking and re-drawing the designated advertising areas on campus, thus limiting fliers to a smaller, more specific area. Taping fliers to the ground is a highly wasteful practice that turns areas of campus into unsightly garbage dumps. Creating and strengthening policies regarding ground flyering can help create a cleaner and more sustainable NU in which we can all take pride. Colin Wang is a Weinberg sophomore.

Media partiality affects the 2016 presidential race GRANT PAPASTEFAN DAILY COLUMNIST

There’s been a lot of debate in recent years about bias in media. While most everyone would agree that outlets such as MSNBC and Fox News carry political bias, there is no such consensus about bias in mainstream outlets like CNN, NBC or ABC, just to name a few. News outlets are biased by nature — there are only so many pages in a newspaper or so many minutes in a nightly news program and not every important story can be published, so the press must choose what information reaches consumers. In terms of what inspires media bias, ratings are the most obvious source, as news companies are businesses that have to produce enticing content to survive. However, the notion that mainstream content is only driven by ratings is misguided. To see active political favoritism in mainstream media, we need not look further than the current election cycle, where the press shapes the presidential race in both parties more than ever before. When considering coverage of the 2016 presidential race, surely the first name that comes to mind is Donald Trump. Trump has sparked an unprecedented frenzy in the media, which can largely be attributed to a polarizing

Response to Presbyterian Homes article

To The Daily Northwestern: I appreciate your Oct. 5 article on Presbyterian Homes’ intention to sell its Neighborhood Homes — three affordable buildings for senior

persona that lends itself so perfectly to entertainment. This has effectively eliminated coverage of most of the other candidates in the race, with the press really only publishing non-Trump-related content when something controversial or damaging to a candidacy happens. For example, the press manipulated Jeb Bush’s commentary on the Umpqua Community College shooting to diminish his candidacy. ABC, along with a number of other news outlets, reported Jeb Bush responded to the mass shooting by saying “stuff happens,” a sound bite quickly seized by Democrats all the way up to our nation’s commander in chief and used to criticize Bush for undermining the tragic nature of mass shootings. However, Jeb Bush’s comments, when listened to entirely, are not a shoulder shrug reaction to the tragedy and are part of a larger statement in which he implies that we are often too impulsive when reacting to complicated situations. It is ironic that such comments would inspire a false narrative perpetuated by the press. This is just one of countless examples of the press spinning words to fit an agenda and to undermine a Republican candidate’s legitimacy. It is easy to see why liberal media would want to undermine more palatable candidates and instead promote a candidate like Trump, whose radical stances would likely put him at a disadvantage in a general election. There’s usually more vocal protest of political bias in mainstream media from the

conservative side (e.g. Sarah Palin’s coining of the term “lamestream media”). However, political partiality is not always skewed in favor of the left. Possibly the best example during this election cycle is in the coverage of Bernie Sanders’ campaign. Sanders supporters have been vociferously enraged with the lack of coverage of Sanders’ campaign, with news outlets offering little coverage of Sanders’ rise in the polls until recently. A recent study found that, as of Sept. 24, Sanders received just eight minutes of coverage on network evening news throughout 2015, compared to 82 minutes for competitor Hillary Clinton and 145 minutes for Donald Trump. To put that in perspective, Sanders received about the same amount of coverage as Republican candidate Chris Christie, but Sanders is polling more than 25 percent nationally, while Christie sits at just under 2.5 percent. It is obvious to see how competition for the Democratic nomination would cause more people to tune in to election coverage than if it were a foregone conclusion, just as people are more inclined to tune into a sporting event if it is a nail-biter versus a blowout. Thus, the lack of Sanders-related coverage can be attributed to political favoritism, and not just ratings-driven bias, because his presence as a legitimate challenger to Clinton would make for a much more exciting saga. With the left’s main concern with Sanders being that his radical stances could make him unelectable, it makes sense that news outlets would seek to promote a more

mainstream candidate. Political bias in media is not a myth, and it is more rampantly influential now than ever before. As shown in this election cycle, the media can play a huge role in the party nomination process, not only in what and how they report, but in what they avoid. While mediadriven assaults on Donald Trump and his bid have likely contributed to his rise among conservatives, and simultaneously made him unelectable in the minds of a number of voters, a lack of press coverage of the Sanders campaign has perhaps been the greatest factor in determining the Democratic frontrunner. An example of media partiality toward any given candidate is often not much further than a Google search of their name. In a time when we as a society are so constantly in tune with the world around us, it is important to be cognizant of the potential bias in the news and to take an extra second to critically analyze a situation before allowing it to affect the way we view a candidate. After all, the only thing worse than an uninformed electorate is a misinformed electorate.

I am a leader at ONE Northside, an organization helping the residents to fight for their housing. I’m an ordained United Church of Christ minister.

I want to correct a serious error in a comment from Robert Werdan, VP of Marketing and Public Relations. He stated that Presbyterian Homes has not been able to arrange a sale to an affordable housing developer due to a lack of public funding sources available to partner with affordable housing developers. Mr. Werdan misunderstands what we are asking Presbyterian Homes to do. We are not asking them to partner with an affordable housing developer or public funding source. We are asking them to sell the buildings to an affordable housing developer at a

market price. The Presbyterian Homes can then wash its hands of providing affordable housing for seniors (their founding mission) and concentrate on their new core mission — serving suburbanites of means. We have introduced them to at least three nonprofit affordable housing developers who are interested in seriously discussing a deal to buy the buildings. We do not see why they are completely unwilling to talk seriously to these developers.

National News House Republicans plead with Paul Ryan to run for speaker WASHINGTON — With the zeal of a college football coach trying to woo a blue-chip recruit, House Republicans are aggressively trying to persuade Rep. Paul Ryan to run for House speaker after Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s surprising withdrawal from consideration. Many House Republicans view Ryan, the 2012 GOP vice presidential candidate, as the salve that can heal and unify a divided conference and move it beyond the double shocker of House Speaker John Boehner’s pending retirement and McCarthy’s decision not to seek the speaker’s gavel. Boehner, R-Ohio, has spoken with Ryan, R-Wis. So has McCarthy, R-Calif., and almost every rankand-file House Republican Ryan’s encountered since McCarthy’s withdrawal Thursday. Ryan, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, thus far has said thanks, but no thanks, to overtures. “Chairman Ryan appreciates the support he’s getting from his colleagues but is still not running for speaker,” Ryan spokesman Brendan Buck said in a statement. But that’s not stopping colleagues from pleading. “I picked up the phone and called and that’s what a lot of people on their own are doing. This is not an orchestrated effort,” said Michigan Rep. Fred Upton. “I talked to him on the floor as well yesterday. I said, ‘Paul you gotta run.’ He said, ‘I gotta go sit next to (Rep. James) Sensenbrenner.’ He’s known to be such a grouch that he figured if he sat next to him no one would.” Upton’s message to Ryan was simple: “He needs to do this for the team. That’s what we’re all telling him.” Rep. Peter King of New York said, “Paul is the only one right now who can unify the party.” The wooing of Ryan began Thursday almost immediately after McCarthy dropped out of a three-way race for the House GOP nomination for speaker. The Californian said he dropped out, in part, for the sake of party unity. On the eve of Thursday’s scheduled GOP conference vote for speaker, the conservative House Freedom Caucus announced that it was backing Rep. Daniel Webster of Florida, a long-shot candidate to succeed Boehner. The caucus, which has about 40 members, said McCarthy was too closely aligned with Boehner.

The group considers the outgoing speaker too accommodating to Democrats and too soft on President Barack Obama. Even before Thursday’s drama, House Republicans were split between pragmatists, who view negotiating with Democrats and the White House as part of their legislative mission, and hard-core conservatives, who advocate aggressively going toe to toe with Obama, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. Many Republicans feel that Ryan, 45, can bridge that gap. “He has a very good understanding of how this place works,” Upton said. “One of the good things about Paul is he’s not a very good card player, which means he gives you straight answers. He doesn’t have five aces in his hand and he’s not gonna bluff you and that’s what we need right now.” But not everyone on and off Capitol Hill was enamored. Several Freedom Caucus members interviewed said they’re still backing Webster. “Some of my conservative colleagues remember Paul Ryan’s impassioned pleas for the TARP, the Wall Street bailout, he was asking for them to vote for it several years ago,” Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., a Freedom Caucus member, told CNN, referring to the federal programs that were the Bush administration’s response to the financial crisis. “I would want to talk to Paul Ryan about why he kicked conservatives off the Budget Committee when he was chairman of the Budget Committee. So, I’m still supporting Daniel Webster, because he has articulated for changing the process here in Washington, D.C., making it functional again.” And some conservative talk radio hosts have begun taking shots at Ryan. Laura Ingraham dismissively tweeted Friday, “Are they talking abt the same Paul Ryan who once lost a VP debate to JOE BIDEN?” None of this turmoil appears likely to disrupt delicate negotiations over a series of potentially contentious deadlines. Highway money runs out Oct. 29. The nation could reach its debt limit at the start of next month. And the government is funded only through Dec. 11. The White House and congressional leaders have quietly been discussing compromises on the budget and the debt ceiling. There was cautious optimism the deadlines would be met. At the White House, spokesman Josh Earnest said he was hopeful progress would continue. At the Capitol, lawmakers seemed unworried for now. Such talks traditionally occur below the

Work for The Daily

leadership level, and the key committees, notably appropriations, look to remain intact. Should a new speaker want to exercise more control, or have his own views _ which is considered highly unlikely _ some House members have suggested that Congress could pass more short-term debt ceiling and budget extensions. The biggest budget dispute involves how to handle the sequester, or automatic spending cuts. Obama had proposed a 7 percent spending increase, divided between defense and domestic programs. Republicans are eager to go above the sequester on defense but are reluctant to break the domestic limits. “We still have a speaker, a majority leader, a conference chair,” said Rep. Bill Flores of Texas. “We can’t let that cause any chaos. We’ve got to lead. There is nobody who wants to disturb the capital markets or the economy of this country.” — William Douglas and David Lightman (McClatchy Washington Bureau/TNS)

3 deadlines loom over a Congress in disarray

WASHINGTON — No one Friday knew what the Republican leadership chaos would mean. But Congress is facing three major decisions, and while the White House and members of the House expressed optimism they would not be derailed by the lack of Republican unity on who the next speaker will be, the leadership drama added to anxiety. “We have a speaker in place, a leader in place. All the positions are filled right now. We are functioning the way Congress is intended,” said Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa. Here’re are the three deadlines that loom in the next two months. OCT. 29 —Dead end for highways? In July, Congress approved a three-month, $8 billion funding extension to keep federal highway funds flowing to the states. It was just the latest in a patchwork of short-term measures that have funded the highway program for the last six years. It’s been a decade since Congress approved a long-term highway bill. The latest extension is set to expire Oct. 29, and finding a way to pay for these programs was expected to be addressed before outgoing House Speaker John Boehner’s original last day on Oct. 30. He will now stay on until his replacement is chosen. If Congress doesn’t find a way to pay for the highway trust fund by the deadline, thousands

of Federal Highway Administration employees could be furloughed and road construction would grind to a halt as the payments to states for their roads, bridges and transit projects could stop the very next day. NOV. 5 —Hitting the debt ceiling? Unless Congress acts, the Treasury will run out of money to pay the nation’s bills in just a few weeks, which could cause the U.S. to default on its obligations for the first time in its history and would likely send financial markets into panic mode. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said last week that Congress must raise the debt limit by Nov. 5, which will be the date he estimates that the treasury will run out of the extraordinary measures it’s using to keep the cash flowing. Republican lawmakers on Friday said they would not let uncertainty about who will win the House Republican caucus’ nomination for speaker get in the way of doing their jobs on a tight deadline. “We can’t let this cause any chaos. We’ve got to lead,” said Rep. Bill Flores, R-Texas. “There is nobody who wants to disturb the capital markets or the economy of this country.” Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich, agreed, but said there are some “very tough votes ahead,” including the debt ceiling. Republican White House hopefuls Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Marco Rubio of Florida have been vocal critics of raising the debt ceiling. DEC. 11 —Another shutdown crisis? Congress narrowly avoided a shutdown crisis last month through a continuing resolution that keeps the government funded until Dec. 11. The biggest budget dispute involves how to handle the sequester, or automatic spending cuts. President Barack Obama had proposed a 7 percent spending increase, divided between defense and domestic programs. Republicans are eager to go above the sequester on defense, but are reluctant to break the domestic limits. Boehner’s successor will have to brace for a complicated budget fight right out of the gate. “Whether we can retrench ourselves before Dec. 11 and challenge this president is a bit of an open question right now,” said King. But Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., noted that budget negotiations are “well underway” despite the leadership chaos. —Vera Bergengruen (McClatchy Washington Bureau/TNS)

NU You

From page 1 features in the app will actually be optimized and work better the more you use it,” Pfammatter said. “In a sense, it kind of gets to know you and your schedule and what’s up with you, so that it can make recommendations that are more relevant for you.” The app will also include a weekly questionnaire about health habits such as eating, physical activity, alcohol and tobacco use, sexual activity and sunscreen use, Spring said. This data will be de-identified and compiled to track the acquisition of risk factors. “It really just gives us a very quick, nonburdensome snapshot about what’s going on,”

Across Campuses Missouri to require all freshmen to undergo diversity training

KANSAS CITY, Mo.—The University of Missouri, which this week removed a student from its Columbia campus for shouting “the ‘N’ word” and other racial slurs at members of a black student group practicing for homecoming, announced Thursday that, as of January, all new entering freshmen will be required to undergo diversity training. The training, to be conducted online, will eventually become mandatory for all faculty, staff and other students. “As you know, a few individuals have tried to harass and intimidate our students using racial slurs over the past few weeks…,” MU Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin wrote Thursday in an online letter to students, faculty and others. “As a community, we must live by our values of Respect, Responsibility, Discovery and Excellence.” In a previous posting, he wrote that racism “and all prejudice is heinous, insidious and damaging to Mizzou. It hurts students’ education and experience including their mental health and academic achievement. That is why all of us must commit to changing the culture at this university.” University spokesman Christian Basi said Loftin was out of town when members of the Legion of Black Collegians Royalty Court were accosted by an inebriated student who began shouting racial slurs at members of the group.

Pfammatter said. The release of the app has been delayed due to the Apple iOS update, but it will be available for participants in the App Store soon. It will also be available to Android users. Participants are required to fill out an online questionnaire about their health habits when enrolling in the study and must complete three in-person health assessments, one each in the fall of freshman, sophomore and junior year. Weinberg freshman Marco Alvarez said he enrolled in the study primarily for the compensation — all participants will be paid $25 after each in-person health assessment. Participants will also have the chance to earn monthly rewards such as cash for completing weekly questionnaires on the app. In addition, the

freshmen will be entered in a raffle for $150 for sophomore year and $250 senior year with 100 winners to be announced each year. Alvarez said he is curious to see how the study impacts his health. “Especially with the weekly questions, I think it’ll get me thinking about my health more often than other people might,” Alvarez said. NU You will run an Instagram account and a private Facebook group for participants in the study. The goal of the social media component is to provide social support and attempt to “build a culture where academic success can be balanced with health and well-being,” Pfammatter said. Spring said NU You is also looking to

establish a student advisory board to keep in line with what is important to students and the types of technology they prefer. “We are really hoping to be able to expand this work and engage students in developing new technologies that will be helpful in improving not only health, but well-being,” Spring said. Spring said NU You is the first step in achieving this long-term goal. “We hope that Northwestern can take a leadership position in being one of the first places to tackle this loss of college-student health and start to develop some ways of trying to turn it around,” she said.

The incident occurred shortly early Sunday morning, shortly after midnight, when members of the Legion of Black Collegians were practicing for homecoming. Notified of the incident, Loftin recorded an angry video from his hotel room condemning the actions. “It’s happened again!…It’s enough. Let’s stop this,” Loftin said in the recording. “Let’s end racism and hatred at Mizzou…” The event came less than a month after Missouri Students Association President Payton Head, who is black, was similarly verbally assaulted on campus, prompting an impassioned response on Facebook describing his experience and calling on his classmates to fight injustice. “I just want to say how extremely hurt and disappointed I am,” he wrote in mid-September. “Last night as I walking through campus, some guys riding on the back of a pickup truck decided that it would be okay to continuously scream (the N word) at me. I really just want to know why my simple existence is such a threat to society. For those of you who wonder why I’m always talking about the importance of inclusion and respect, it’s because I’ve experienced moments like this multiple times at THIS university, making me not feel included here. …” He continued with a plea. “Educate yourselves and others,” he wrote. “Hold your family, friends, fraternity brothers and sorority sisters accountable. And if this post made you feel uncomfortable, GOOD! That means I’m doing my job. It’s time to wake up Mizzou.”

Basi said that the university had already been working for several months to create new diversity training when the weekend incident occurred. “What I can tell you is it was the right time to make this announcement today,” Basi said. The training will first be mandated for new students coming to Missouri in January. That experience, Basi said, will allow the university to assess what adjustments the program might require in time for the 6,200 or so freshmen who will enroll in the fall of 2016. “Eventually, every student will be trained,” Basi said. A separate program is being developed for faculty and staff. In August, MU reacted to the fomenting, national issue of sexual assault on college campuses by requiring all 2015 incoming freshman to take online sexual discrimination training. Other students were encouraged to take the training, but are not required. About 18 months ago, Basi said, the university took its one part-time Title IX officer, charged with investigating complaints regarding sexual discrimination, harassment and assault, and made the position full-time. The university, he said, also now has a team of four Title IX investigators. — Eric Adler/The Kansas City Star (TNS)

university campuses in the state. State Sen. Lois Wolk said the bill she introduced several months ago was needed to close a loophole that allows people with concealedweapons permits to carry firearms on school grounds. The new law prohibits that practice, unless school officials grant permission or the carrier is retired from law enforcement. The action comes a week after a gunman killed nine and wounded nine others before killing himself at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Ore., and just one day after fatal shootings at college campuses in Texas and Arizona. Some gun-rights activists have suggested that allowing concealed weapons on campuses would provide an armed counterforce to such gunmen or at least a deterrent. “This bill will put thousands of innocent lives at risk,” said Brandon Combs, president of the Firearms Policy Coalition. “Criminals will know that their intended victims are totally vulnerable when they’re on California school grounds because (the law) will ensure that they’re defenseless against a violent attack.” The measure is supported by law enforcement groups, including the California College and University Police Chiefs Association. It is opposed by the National Rifle Association, which said in a letter to legislators that it “raises significant concerns under the Second Amendment by further infringing the rights of law-abiding — and properly licensed and trained individuals — to possess a firearm for self-defense.” — Patrick McGreevy (Los Angeles Times/TNS)

Controversial no-call, poor finishing punish Cats match into overtime. “We did a great job of drawing corners today,” senior midfielder Charlotte Martin said. Stanford, though, needed little more than two minutes of the extra period to find a winning goal. “We fought really hard, came back as a team really well in the last couple minutes, got that goal,” Flens said. “I thought (we) really had the momentum, we were ready to play overtime.” The Cats, however, had several opportunities to win in regulation. On one sequence, three NU players converged on the circle, but despite a loose ball

The Wildcats were good, but ultimately the Cardinal were lucky. Early in the sudden death overtime period, officials didn’t stop play after the ball appeared to hit a Stanford player’s foot, allowing Cardinal attacker Lauren Becker to race uncontested into the 25-yard circle and past onrushing Northwestern sophomore goalkeeper Lindsay von der Luft. Midfielder Sarah Helgeson took Becker’s ensuing pass and finished into an empty net, giving No. 9 Stanford (9-3, 0-1 America East) a 3-2 overtime victory over No. 14 NU (9-5, 2-2 Big Ten) Friday at Lakeside Field. “You just have to play through everything,” coach Tracey Fuchs said. “The officials aren’t going to be able to see everything.” The overtime controversy overshadowed a strong NU performance. The Cats earned 11 penalty corners to Stanford’s five, and held a 10 to four advantage in shots on goal. Junior midfielder Isabel Flens scored twice from corners, increasing her teamleading goal tally to 13. Flens opened the scoring 20 minutes into the match, knocking home senior back Lisa McCarthy’s corner from approximately 15 yards out. The goal came during a spell of sustained pressure from NU in which they earned five corners in 10 minutes. “We always practice a lot on penalty corners,” Flens said, noting the team’s execution on corner

opportunities. “It’s good to see it back today.” The Cardinal, however, responded quickly. Maddie Secco redirected fellow Stanford midfielder Fran Tew’s cross from the left side past von der Luft fewer than five minutes after Flens’ goal, knotting the score at 1-1. Stanford added another before halftime when defender Caroline Beaudoin scored via a penalty corner in the final minute of the half. Trailing 2-1, the Cats came out aggressively to begin the second half. Cardinal goalkeeper Dulcie Davies made two point-blank stops of Flens shots early in the half, and NU earned four corners in its opening 10 minutes of the period. “We had a couple runs from the baseline, but the goalie was there to intercept,” Flens said. “Definitely props to the goalie.” Davies, who finished with seven saves, at times seemed to singlehandedly maintain Stanford’s lead. The dam finally broke, however, after a continued onslaught of Cats pressure in the final minutes of regulation. With just 3:35 remaining, Flens once again took McCarthy’s penalty corner and fired it past Davies, sending the NU sideline into jubilation and the

just inches from the goal and a mostly empty net to shoot at, the Cats could not find a way to nudge the ball across the line. Despite surrendering three goals, Fuchs said the inability to finish chances was what cost NU the most. “We had a lot of scrambles in front of the net, four or five, where we should have been able to find a way to put the ball home,” she said. “(It) just didn’t happen.” colepaxton2019@u.northwestern.edu

From page 12 hit to the head. On a routine run up the middle, Harris took a knee to the helmet and instantly went limp on the field. After receiving attention for several minutes, he gingerly boarded a cart and was taken off. Fitzgerald confirmed after the game that Harris was treated for a cheek laceration and was moving around the locker room, but gave no update on his long-term status. “Hopefully most of that was for precautionary reasons,” Fitzgerald said, “and hopefully he responds in a positive way.” When the Cats had the ball on offense, they struggled to get anything moving against an elite Wolverines defense, turning in a below-average performance that seemed exponentially worse under the pressure of playing catch-up. Thorson finished 13-of27 for 106 yards and an interception, and sophomore running back Justin Jackson offered little relief by carrying just 12 times for 25 yards. Predictably, Thorson was far from perfect in his first Big Ten road start and in front of more than 100,000 hostile fans. His first pick came on a 50-50 ball, one play after he threw a pass that should have

been an easy interception for Wolverines safety Jabrill Peppers. Thorson threw several other balls that went in and out of a defender’s hands and in general struggled to connect with open receivers. “I thought (Thorson) targeted his throws pretty well,” Fitzgerald said. “It wasn’t above Clayton’s shoulders. … You have to credit Michigan.” NU’s best scoring opportunity of the day, a 10-play, 50-yard drive starting at the Cats’ 25-yard line, was squandered on a missed field goal by Jack Mitchell. Despite having 4th-and-1 at the Michigan 25 and being down 14, Fitzgerald sent his junior kicker out onto the field, only to have him push the attempt wide left. The Cats are now the third consecutive team to be shutout by the Wolverines, joining BYU and Maryland. After the blowout loss, NU has a week to recover before returning to Ryan Field to face No. 22 Iowa (6-0, 2-0) in the Cats’ homecoming contest. “We just have to flush this,” senior superback Dan Vitale said. “We’re a much better team than we showed today and we know that.” bpillote@u.northwestern.edu

DROPPING THE BALL Junior wide receiver Austin Carr goes to the ground as he loses the ball. The Cats missed a golden opportunity to cement their place among this year’s Big Ten elite by losing their contest against Michigan.

ANN ARBOR, Michigan — Everything unraveled in about 15 seconds. That’s how long it took for Michigan’s Jehu Chesson to run back the opening kickoff 96 yards for a touchdowns, giving the No. 18 Wolverines (5-1, 2-0 Big Ten) a 7-0 lead they held for the rest of the game. No. 13 Northwestern (5-1, 1-1) never recovered. “We got beat by a very good team today, and we didn’t play well, and we made them look better,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “I thought we played terribly.” After the special teams touchdown seemed to be an early harbinger of defeat in a contest billed as a low-scoring defensive struggle, Michigan went on to dominate every aspect of the game. The vaunted Wildcats defense, which prior to this game had given up just 7 points per contest, surrendered 14 offensive points in the first half alone, which combined with Chesson’s score and a pick-six thrown by redshirt freshman quarterback Clayton Thorson created a 28-0 halftime deficit far too deep to dig out of. The Cats uncharacteristically struggled with missed tackles and misread assignments on Michigan’s first few

drives. On his second pass of the game, Wolverine quarterback Jake Rudock found a wide-open Jake Butt over the middle, completing a pass to the tight end to move Michigan to the one-yard line. One drive later, fullback Joe Kerridge burst through the line and plodded past NU’s out-of-position linebackers for a 34-yard gain. NU suffered death by many small cuts, with nine different Wolverines rushing the ball a combined 45 times for 201 yards and three touchdowns. Rudock ended the day totaling a very pedestrian 179 yards, but remained efficient by completing 17-of-23 passes and keeping the Michigan offense rolling. “They just played well,” senior defensive end Deonte Gibson said. “They just had a good game plan against us.” The defense eventually leveled its play, giving up just a field goal and a garbage-time touchdown in the second half, but suffered a huge loss in the third quarter when junior cornerback Matthew Harris left the game after a scary » See FOOTBALL, page 10

Disastrous first half dooms Northwestern in shutout loss to Michigan By HUZAIFA PATEL

daily senior staffer @huzaifapatel95

ANN ARBOR, Michigan — No. 13 Northwestern (5-1, 1-1 Big Ten) sputtered out of the gate Saturday in Ann Arbor, falling behind 21-0 in the first quarter en route to a 38-0 loss. No. 18 Michigan (5-1, 2-0) out-gained the Wildcats 213 yards to 95 in the first half. Michigan was already on the board before either team ran a play from

scrimmage, as Wolverines receiver Jehu Chesson took the opening kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown. After a quick Northwestern 3-andout, Michigan drove the ball 59 yards in under four minutes for another quick score and the Cats were already down 14-0 with over ten minutes left in the first quarter. NU responded well to start their next offensive drive, the key play being a 19-yard third-down conversion from redshirt freshman quarterback Clayton Thorson to junior receiver Austin Carr, but a

questionable field-goal call on 4thand-1 at the Michigan 25 yielded no points and momentum back to Michigan. The Cats’ offense was unable to get anything going on the ground, averaging just 1.5 yards per carry and putting Thorson in too many 3rd-and-long situations. NU was just two-for-eight on third down in the first half, including an avoidable Thorson interception on a 3rd-and-9 that was returned for a touchdown. “I thought that was a great throw,” Fitzgerald said. “It looked like it

went right through (receiver) Mike (McHugh’s) hands.” The entire first half was marred by sloppy play from the Cats, who were penalized five times for 39 yards, making matters worse for NU. “(Michigan) executed on some of our miscues, and they just played a great game,” senior defensive end Deonte Gibson said. NU’s defense, which had previously allowed just seven points per game, gave up 14 points on defense in the first half. It wasn’t exactly a terrible performance, but Michigan

controlled the ball and the chess match scheme-wise, catching NU off guard with fullback runs and timely play actions. “(Quarterback Jake Rudock) understood our lane discipline and how to manipulate us when we were too aggressive and when we were too conservative,” Gibson said. Ultimately, the Cats were outmatched and outclassed in all three phases early in the game and never gave themselves a chance. huzaifapatel2017@u.northwestern.edu

NU topples No. 3 Penn State in thrilling upset in Evanston By MAX GELMAN

No. 9 Ohio State

Northwestern

On a day when most Northwestern fans were reeling after the football team’s blowout loss to Michigan, volleyball coach Keylor Chan led his team to perhaps the biggest upset in program history. In front of a packed Welsh-Ryan Arena on Saturday, the Wildcats (11-6, 3-3 Big Ten) took down back-to-back defending national champion No. 3 Penn State (15-2, 4-2) in five sets. The victory was NU’s first over the Nittany Lions in almost 13 years. “It’s an incredible feeling,” sophomore setter Taylor Tashima said. “Penn State (knows) they have a target on their backs and teams are going to show up to play them.” Just how long has it been since the Cats’ last win over the Nittany Lions? When NU last knocked off Penn State 3-1 on November 23, 2002, “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” had just been released in theaters, gas prices averaged $1.38 and the Euro was less than one year old. By defeating Penn State, the Cats snapped a three-game losing streak where they didn’t win a single set. Saturday was also NU’s first match in almost a month that went more than three sets. The Cats’ win starkly contrasted their performance from just one night earlier, when No. 9 Ohio State steamrolled NU. Before Saturday, NU’s three previous contests, all against ranked opponents, saw the Cats score more than 20 points in a set just

twice, both against No. 16 Minnesota last week. A normally level-headed Chan expressed joy but didn’t get too excited following Saturday’s match, in which the team eclipsed 20 points in each of the first three sets. “(Wins) all count the same, but yeah, it’s great,” Chan said. “This team is searching for a level of confidence and an identity … we don’t want the wins and losses to define us.” Momentum started to swing NU’s way in the third set. After splitting the first two sets, the Cats rallied behind sophomore hitter Symone Abbott’s seven third-frame kills to take the set 26-24. Additionally, the victory came against one of the nation’s best blocking teams in Penn State, and Chan was extremely pleased with NU’s performance despite being out-blocked 14 to 8.

Two controversial calls in the deciding fifth set nearly sunk the Cats. With NU leading 12-7, the refs awarded 2 points to the Nittany Lions that appeared to fall the other way. However, Chan was just happy NU came out on top. “Refs are people too,” Chan said. “They’re doing the best they can.” As the match went on, the Cats’ hitting efficiency dropped. Starting off with a .433 percentage through the first set, NU ended the night at .211 with the percentage per set declining in almost every frame. Nevertheless, this win will be one the Cats will remember for a long, long time. Abbott, who was in first grade when the Cats previously defeated the Nittany Lions, was much more emotional than Tashima and her coach following the match. Abbott had struggled in early Big Ten play this season, but had a bounceback match against Penn State. Just the night before, she had eight kills and six errors on 29 attempts for a .069 hitting percentage against Ohio State. On Saturday however, she registered 17 kills on the night, her highest total against a conference opponent since she put down 18 versus Maryland in last year’s season finale. “This is probably the best day of my life, to be honest,” Abbott said. “We’ve always been so close, and there (haven’t) been results. We’ve always been that team that’s in the bottom four of the Big Ten and no one expects anything of us … it’s just good to show people that we can do it.” maxgelman2018@u.northwestern.edu
