Tattoo shops across Chicago offer special deals on Friday the 13th Rachel Fernandez & Ally Zacek Managing Editor & Design Editor Most people would advise against any major decisionmaking on one of the most superstitious days of the year, but tattoo artists have begun embracing the spooky holiday, permanently inking thousands of people with cartoon iterations of rabbit’s feet, black cats and other miscellaneous occult symbols.

Superstition surrounding Friday the 13th may date as far back as the Middle Ages, possibly with Biblical origins.

It’s most highly associated with the Last Supper, where Jesus and his 12 apostles were gathered, with Judas being received as the 13th guest.

The human aversion to the number 13 has even gone so far that there’s an identified phobia, known as paraskavedekatriaphobia, which is the fear of Friday the 13th. Due to this superstition, elevators, and many hotels, will omit a 13th floor altogether, jumping straight to 14.

All superstition aside, since the 20th century, Friday the 13th has risen as a cultural phenomenon, and even businesses have even begun capitalizing on the hype.

Each Friday the 13th has now become a popular day for people to get small tattoos at a cheap price and for local tattoo shops to generate more business. Lines began to form outside of tattoo shops across the city hours before they open with hundreds of eager customers waiting for their turn to be tattooed.

Making new history at the Chicago Architecture Biennial

PHOTO COURTESY OF CHICAGO ARCHITECTURAL BIENNIAL

The Chicago Architecutre Biennial “provides a platform for groundbreaking architectural projects and spatial experiments” and attracts world-renowned architects from all over the globe.

By Sarah Julien Contributing Writer

Imagine the historic, decaying St. Stephen’s Church in Hyde Park re-imagined, restored and repurposed. Instead of the space being used as a traditional religious sanctuary, what if the church was transformed and featured a community swimming pool?

This was the idea behind the winning entry for the Chicago Architecture Club’s 2017 Burnham Prize, “New Waters” by Sonja Cheng, Jennifer Ly and Max Obata.

The competition encouraged creative minds to propose a plan to restore the space under St. Stephen’s Church dome in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood. The challenge incorporated the theme of the 2017 Chicago Architecture Biennial (CAB), “Make New History,” and is showcased at the exhibition.

“Young architects were really thinking a lot about the relevance of history to contemporary questions,” executive director of the CAB, Todd Palmer said.

The winning design took the historical typography from the church’s dome, and redesigned a new interpretation of a public space.

The 2017 CAB is a design exhibition that showcases the collaborations between architects and artist’s innovative projects that are reshaping what will influence the future.

It is the largest exhibition in North America.

The Chicago Cultural Center is the host of the main exhibition that is running through Jan. 7, 2018.

Over 141 participants from 20 countries offer the public the opportunity to look at how the design and world of architecture is constantly changing. What is being produced from these participants is being committed to history. This sense of “making new history” comes from the idea of how new architecture references trends from the past to create a new vision for the future.

The Chicago Cultural Center at Randolph and Michigan, the original home of the Chicago Public Library, has three floors of curated designs that truly make the viewer wonder what our world will look like in the future. There are designs that are completely new construction projects of skyscrapers, but there are also a lot of plans that have created architectural projects from decrepit, old buildings that have been abandoned in cities across the world. Palmer says the theme was

determined by the artistic curators Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee, who were tasked with the job of creating the 2017 theme.

“They took the temperature of the field and the observations of the tendencies and interests that were emerging, and those trends led them to the theme of history,” Palmer said.

The title of the biennial itself, “Make New History,” was borrowed from the title of artist Ed Ruscha’s book.

“What is interesting about the book is that the title “Make New History” is printed on the sides of each of the pages, and the pages are blank. It is a conceptual art piece that resonates with this year’s Biennial History. It is something we receive, like this book, but it is ultimately something that we are crafting, creating and engaging with,” Palmer said.

While the main exhibition is at the Chicago Cultural Center, there is a list of anchor hosts around the city of Chicago that are offering Biennial programming — including the DePaul Art Museum.

The DePaul Art Museum became an anchor host this year because the biennial wanted to grow its success by expanding its

footprint into the different communities in Chicago.

“The different organizations that were contacted represented an interesting cross section of the city and are geographically diverse,” said associate curator at the DePaul Art Museum, Mia Lopez.

“The Biennial reached out to our Chief Curator Julia Rodrigues Widholm, and Widholm immediately thought of the artist Ângela Ferreira,” Lopez said.

Ferreira is an artist who is based out of Portugal, and she is showing her first U.S. solo-exhibition on the entire second floor of the art museum until Dec. 10. Lopez says Her work looks at the intersections of modernist architecture with post-colonial Africa.

“Modernism is synonymous with Chicago architecture,” Widholm said.

“Ferreira’s work offers a unique postcolonial perspective on this familiar subject, while connecting Chicago to a global conversation around the history and politics of architectural forms and materials.”

Ferreira’s exhibit is an architectural structure entitled “Zip Zap, Circus School.”

The exhibit was modeled after a circus in Cape Town, Africa that promoted youth

empowerment and social transformation through the circus. The plans by Portugese architect Pancho Guedes were never developed. Ferreirs combined the architecture plans of Guedes with Mies van der Rohe’s modernist plans to create her own exhibit that allows the educational ideas of the past to come to fruition.

“Zip Zap, Circus School” is seeking students and youth empowerment groups to sign up for a time slot to interact with the exhibition. The interaction will bring life to the historical ideas, and they will combine with the cultural tendencies of today’s generations to ultimately create something entirely new.

The 2017 CAB is a culmination of artists and architects innovative, global ideas that are crafting the spaces in the world we live in. The ingenious theme is woven into every aspect of the experience. From the conception of the theme, to the title chosen from a book, to the history of the Chicago Cultural Center’s previous use as a public library— there is a consistency that is ultimately entirely satisfying.

Growing number of Latinos lead to evolving marketing techniques

By Yazmin Dominguez Online Editor

For the first time, DePaul’s College of Communication in conjunction with the Office of Global Engagement presented the Latino Media and Communication Series.

The inaugural event titled “Engaging the Latinx Community with Dr. Sindy Chapa” was hosted on Monday, Oct. 9 at DePaul’s Loop campus.

Kicking off the evening, Chapa addressed the crowd of students, professors and alumni with an eloquent, “buenas tardes, pueden levantar la mano los que son Latinos” or translated in English, “good afternoon, those who are Latino can you raise your hand?”

Half the room raised their hand. It was a fitting way to begin her presentation on the developing relationship between the growing number of Latinos in the United States and its influence on the marketing industry.

“We had two main objectives. One, to bring together students, alumni and industry friends around issues important to the Latinx community,” said Maria DeMoya, a Latinoa Media and Communication faculty advisor and assistant professor. “Second, to educate the audience about the nuanced differences in engaging with Latinx consumers.”

Chapa is the associate director for the Center for Hispanic Marketing Communication at Florida State University.

Having been invited to speak by DeMoya, along with Ester Quintero-Guzman, the associate director of regional initiates, Latin America from the Office of Global Engagement, Chapa used her marketing

research to give insight on how to better communicate and engage with a growing Latino market.

According to the U.S. Census, the Latino population in the year 2050 is projected to be 119 million people, translating to 28.6 percent of the nation’s total population. This compares to the 54 million, or 17 percent, of Latinos reported in the most recent 2015 census.

“Before we talk about the importance of the Hispanic market, we want to know why (is it important),” Chapa said. “Everyone has said it is because of the growing population and that’s the answer, but there are some other stuff about the Hispanic community that also makes it a very important market.”

Chapa explained the key characteristics of the Latino community that appeal to marketers. Latinos have the highest usage of social media when compared to other ethnic groups. Latinas are becoming a significant demographic due to their rise in buying power as more are graduating from higher education and entering higher paying careers.

Chapa presented a video showcasing the rising number of Latinos in America throughout the decades, as well as the ethnic group’s growing market power.

“It’s not just about numbers, graphs or projections. It’s about the heart and the values behind it all,” Chapa said as she reemphasized a point made in the video.

Culture and values play key factors in successfully reaching the Latino community, but Chapa emphasized looking deeper into core values of the Latino demographic in order to best predict and engage into the

demographics’ buying power.

Chapa explained the key consumer behaviors and core values of Latinos as collectivism (family orientated influence), power distance (respect for authority), masculinity (characteristics associated with gender), uncertainty avoidance (lack of risk taking decisions), indulgence, gender roles, time polychromatic (different perception of time) and high communication context.

“So how is this important in business and marketing?” Chapa asked. “Well, understanding attitudes and behaviors is important for the growth of the Hispanic market because of all the different opportunities and challenges we have in our field.”

Chapa explained how the role of marketers and advertisers is to communicate in an effective way and create messages that will resonate with the target audience, which both will help engage Latinos. She emphasized the need for an emotional connection.

“We can learn a lot more about these core values when we look into the cultural studies,” Chapa said. “Hispanics in the U.S. have a transformation. It’s because of the acculturation. It is because of our integration with other identities and it is because we have two languages…Then we also have those who are second and third generation or maybe those who are part of a different identity.”

She went on to explain the varying multi-faced identities of Latinos throughout the United States. Those identities being Chicanos, Tejanos, Caribeños and Nuyoricans. She emphasized the importance

of marketers recognizing each Latino identity because of its effects on different communicating forms in advertising.

Creating ads that were bilingual are key to reach the targeted audience because it is an accurate representation of a Latino living in America today.

Media and Communication graduate student Stephanie Alban attended the event.

She explained how she would apply Chapa’s research in her work.

“We keep evolving culturally all the time so I will keep it in mind for the next one or two years but we are always evolving,” Alban said. “We will be the leading targets for private and corporate organizations so I think there is going to be even more research done especially on all the subcultures within the Latino community. There’s going to be different research on the generational groups especially with high use of social media.”

Chapa also emphasized the importance of not resorting to stereotypes if marketers want to successfully thrive in the Latino community.

“To be honest, I haven’t yet seen anything that breaks away from the stereotype in the U.S. They need to know how to do it before they do it and I don’t think we’ve gotten to that point yet,” Alban said. “You need to grow and continue to develop and advertising majors know that. There are a lot of things that need to change of our representation from how way we talk, the status we hold in the country, the jobs we have to even how we dress. I’m not sure what should change first, I think it’s a process.”

Whole Foods prices go down after Amazon acquisition

By Andrew Hattersly Contributing Writer

After watching Dominick’s close in 2014, students were immediately concerned they would be left without a place to buy groceries on campus. However, just a year later Whole Foods came in as the go-to grocery store for students. Now the high-end grocery chain is taking aim at their costly image that earned them the nickname “Whole Paycheck”.

This past August, Amazon’s purchase of Whole Foods became official and one of their immediate goals was to lower the price on some of the most popular items across all stores.

DePaul student Ross Greer, who has worked at the location since it opened in 2015, noticed an effort on the part of Whole Foods to lower prices, especially in the areas of produce, water and 365 brands, which is Whole Foods cheaper brand.

“Produce is one in particular which is already pretty cheap, but it’s kind of nice that they dropped it a little,” Greer said, “They’re definitely making an effort to have you notice too, they have these little signs, water has gotten a lot cheaper.”

A closer look shows Whole Foods does offer cheaper bread, and soup than its competitors such as Jewel Osco, Trader Joe’s and Mariano’s. However, they are still more expensive when it comes to items such as pasta, mayonnaise and milk, which are popular items among college students.

Since the purchase, Greer has also had customers inquire about Amazon’s current involvement outside of the price drops.

“A lot of questions about Amazon and Amazon’s involvement in Whole Foods now, which first of all there isn’t really, they put up a sign when it first happened basically saying nothing was going to change they just own us now and will make price adjustments in the future,” Greer said.

In Greer’s two years working at Whole Foods, he has witnessed the Whole Foods become an extremely popular location for DePaul students.

“I would say it’s where most of our business comes from is students, during the off months in the summer, production cuts down just because if we’re making food it’s going to get wasted, so you see notice a noticeable drop-off during winter break, spring break and summer break,” Greer said.

Freshman Ako Ben lives just down the street from the Whole Foods and while he didn’t notice the drop since he’s only been here a couple weeks, the affordable prices are one of the big reasons he shops at the location twice a week.

“I shop here because my classes are just down the street, so that’s mainly why,” Ben said. “The prices are good, the food is good and it’s not a long wait.”

Graduate student Evan Richards shops at other stores such Trader Joe’s and Mariano’s, but likes the healthy options available at Whole Foods even though the prices are still a little steep in his mind.

ALLY ZACEK | THE DEPAULIA

Some prices fell as much as 43 percent following Amazon’s acquisition of Whole Foods.

“I like that it’s a convenient location and it does have a pretty good selection of fresher foods which is nice,” Richards said. “It is a little easier to eat healthier.”

While it may only cost a “Half Paycheck”

instead of the “Whole Paycheck,” Whole Foods has taken strides in becoming a more affordable option for students.

Protestors to Tyson: Stop poisoning our drinking water

By Benjamin Conboy News Editor

A small group of protestors from the environmental activism group Mighty Earth gathered for a protest outside of Tyson Foods’ corporate headquarters in the South Loop on Wednesday, Oct. 11.

Mighty Earth’s “Clean it up, Tyson!” campaign is aimed at trying to get Tyson, the world’s second largest processor of poultry, beef and pork, to commit to reducing the water pollution that stems from their massive national meat processing operation.

“We want Tyson to agree to only source their products only from farms that commit to sustainable and responsible agricultural practices,” said Celeste Nahas, an organizer for the campaign.

The protest was the result of a report commissioned by Mighty Earth that details the scope of Tyson and other major food processors’ dirty practices.

Tyson dumped 104 million pounds of pollutants directly into American waterways between 2010-14, according to the EPA’s Toxic Release Inventory. These pollutants, Mighty Earth says, find its way into watersheds all over the Midwest and eventually empty into the Gulf of Mexico.

The pollution doesn’t necessarily come from the livestock Tyson raises, but rather from the crops grown to feed the livestock.

Nearly 40 percent of all U.S. grain production goes towards livestock feed, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

“Tyson produces one out of every five pounds of meat in the U.S.,” Nahas said.

“They source from corn and soy farms that allow excess fertilizer runoff to wash off these industrial farms and into our water in Illinois `

BENJAMIN CONBOY | THE DEPAULIA

Wisconsin farmer Tony Ends was emotional as he spoke about the harmful effects of Tyson Foods’ watershed pollution on his family and their farm.

and elsewhere.”

The main chemical runoff “Clean it up, Tyson!” is focusing on is nitrogen, a key component of many fertilizers which can be dangerous if it seeps in to drinking water.

Tyson has promised to make changes to decrease the amount of pollutants they are releaseing, but Mighty Earth doesn’t think they are keeping their word.

Tony Ends, the co-owner and operator of Scotch Hill Farm in Brodhead, Wisconsin, spoke to his personal struggles with nitrate pollution in an emotional speech at the protest.

“Our town’s water tests helped me understand why my wife and several of

our children had frequent unexplained headaches, a result of high nitrate content,” Ends said. “I understood why a number of our ewes and does had miscarriages every spring, another symptom of nitrate poisoning.”

A test of the water in Ends’ town found nitrate levels of 200 parts per million – 20 times higher than the threshold the EPA considers dangerous.

“All this nitrate pollution came from millions of gallons of liquid manure next door,” Ends said. “It all happens within two miles of our farm.”

Nitrogen also causes algae blooms, which consume all the oxygen in the water and

suffocate fish species. All of the toxic runoff in cascading down Midwestern watersheds into the Gulf of Mexico has created a “dead zone,” where aquatic species are smothered.

Shruthi Kumar, a senior at DePaul who interned at Mighty Earth, said the “Clean it up, Tyson!” campaign afforded him the opportunity to hold one of the biggest polluters accountable.

“As an environmental science student at DePaul, it is easy to just sit in the classroom and study issues like the dead zone and fertilizer pollution in our water supply,” Kumar said. “It’s time for corporations to start protecting our waterways, not polluting them.”

Cubs fans were kept on their toes after Game 4 of the National League Division Series was delayed and then canceled due to inclement weather.

Though rain delays have been known to help the defending World Series champions, Game 4 was postponed for the following day and was said to have benefited the Washington Nationals. The one-day delay allowed Nationals’ pitcher Stephen Strasburg to rest an additional day, who, according to a USA Today report, was feeling ill and “cited wheezing” and didn’t get to warm-up as usual.

The Cubs lost that game 0-5, tying the series 2-2 and sending them back to Washington for a do-or-die Game 5.

Scrambling to clinch the division

series, Cubs fans went through a range of emotions as the Cubs played five long hours of baseball on Thursday, October 13 against the Nationals, the longest nineinning postseason game in baseball.

Through the ninth inning of Game 5 of the NLDS, Cubs fans nervously held their breath as their team clung to a one-run lead to take home a 9-8 win and advanced to the third National League Championship Series.

It feels a lot like last year!

Playing the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS, the Cubs return to Wrigley for Game 3 on Tuesday.

Pitching for the Dodgers is Yu Darvish and Kyle Hendricks for the Cubs.

The Cubs are off to another nail-biting post-season.

Grassroots response to federal sexual assault policy bubbles up

By Carina Smith Copy Editor

Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos announced in September that the Department of Education would be rescinding an Obama-era guideline that outlined how schools should handle a sexual assault. The announcement was a shock to many, and left people wondering how colleges, including DePaul, would handle sexual assault policies from here on out.

DeVos claims that the decision to pull back the 2011 “dear colleague” letter, which was introduced by the Obama administration, had gone too far and would treat those accused unfairly. Instead, DeVos opted for an interim guidance that allows schools to choose when there would be enough proof.

While many applauded the decision to allow schools to set their own limit for a standard of proof, others were alarmed at what this could mean for sexual assault victims moving forward.

On Sept. 25, DePaul sent out an email stating they will be “thoroughly reviewing this new guidance to determine any possible implications for our policies and procedures” in an attempt to settle any uncertainty that students on campus have.

“DeVos doesn’t understand what students go through when they experience sexual assault and rape, and it’s pretty evident in her new plan to sweep it all under the rug,” freshman Anna Wolf said.

Currently, DePaul’s policy for sexual

assaults depends on what the survivor is asking for from the school. If any sexual or relationship violence is reported to the Title IX office, coordinators will give information to the survivor about on and off-campus resources and options for addressing the situation to law enforcement and through the university.

“Students are made aware about where they can speak about an issue confidentially and they’re also told about (the Title IX office),” Title IX coordinator Karen Tamburro said about the process for students who are reporting an assault.

Despite the work that the Title IX office and Health and Wellness Center do to talk about sexual assaults on campus, some students don’t think it’s enough. Senior Sadie Hellstrom took it upon herself to start a club that is aimed to raise awareness about sexual assaults, called Advocates for Sexual Assault Prevention (ASAP). The club, which is set to officially start in the upcoming months, works with students on what to be aware of to prevent sexual assaults to the best of their abilities, while also how to help survivors.

“Our main focus right now is to hopefully meet once or twice a month and just talk about sexual assault prevention,” Hellstrom said. “It’s so common on college campuses and also since we live in a big city, it really can happen anywhere.”

Hellstrom decided to create ASAP after transferring from another university that had a similar club and realizing that DePaul didn’t offer somewhere for students to speak openly about this issue. Her main priority with ASAP is offering students “a safe space if they were sexually assaulted” so they can talk about their experiences or get the help

Betsy DeVos announced changes to sexual assault policy that could affect DePaul. they need.

Hellstrom says that this isn’t a “white, straight girl club” and that she wants to create a club that is inclusive no matter of gender, race and sexual orientation. “We want everyone to feel welcomed and feel like they can come in and talk,” Hellstrom said.

Despite DeVos’ decision to rescind the prior sexual assault guidelines, students still have options on campus to allow their voice to be heard. Tamburro says that she is there for students every step of the way after

an assault and that DePaul has no plan to change their current Title IX policy.

“What we have in place balances the needs of the community with the needs of the survivor as well as the instances involving referred students,” Tamburro said. “And while we’re examining different practices, at this point the “dear colleague letter” has been rescinded but no new policy or guidance has been issued by the Department of Education, and what we don’t want to do is have a reaction that isn’t truly thought out.”

Another one bites the dust

Trump administration repeals Clean Power Plan BRANDON CAMP | ASSOCIATED PRESS

Technology now in limited use removes about 90 percent of carbon dioxide from the smokestacks of coal-fired power plants, but energy experts say cost remains the chief obstacle to bringing the “clean coal” touted by President Donald Trump into the mainstream.

By Emily McTavish Contributing Writer

In an effort to roll back policies from former President Barack Obama’s administration, Scott Pruitt, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), announced last week that the Clean Power Plan (CPP) would be repealed. The EPA is arguing that the plan exceeded the agency’s governing power given by Congress.

The CPP, which was introduced in June 2014 and aimed to reduce and regulate greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power plants, had yet to be implemented and has been on hold with the U.S. Supreme Court.

Phillip Gonet, president of the Illinois Coal Association, said he was in favor of the repeal because the CPP would have a

negligible impact on energy costs to the consumer.

“We already have stringent rules, and they’re working,” Gonet said.

Gonet cited the EPA’s Mercury and Air Toxic Standards (MATS), implemented in 2011 under the Clean Air Act, as a successful rule of setting standards to limit toxic air pollutants by coal-fired plants. Gonet said Illinois coal is unique in that it has a high sulfur content, meaning power plants that are burning Illinois coal must have specific tools to clean the air based on set standards by the MATS rule.

The U.S. is the third largest producer of coal in the world, falling behind China and India, according to data released this year from the International Energy Agency (IEA). The IEA also reports globally that 40 percent of electricity is produced by coal-fired plants and 70 percent

of the carbon dioxide emissions are generated from these plants.

Gonet said with the repeal by the EPA., the coal industry in Illinois may have a boost in jobs and opportunity to gain a larger share of coal sales domestically and abroad.

Although Illinois is the third largest producer of coal, it is second for most coal received by other states, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s second quarter coal distribution report for 2017.

Mark Potosnak, a professor in the Environmental Science and Studies department, said the right incentives for reducing carbon and greenhouse gas emissions need to be in place.

“Let’s be realistic, getting rid of this legislation isn’t helping,” Potosnak said of the repeal of the CPP. Potosnak said the economics of renewable energy sources like

wind, solar and nuclear have improved and are becoming more cost effective.

“Even before the Clean Power Plan was put out there, there was already a switch to shut down coal-fired plants,” Potosnak said.

In Chicago, Midwest Generation closed the last of the city’s coal-powered plants, Fisk and Crawford, in 2012.

Earlier this year, President Donald Trump announced he would withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement, which was ratified by Obama in 2016 but had not been ratified by Congress.

The Paris Agreement’s central aim has been to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change, according to the United Nation’s website.

In a press release after Trump’s statement, Chicago’s mayor Rahm Emanuel said that the withdrawal from the Paris Agreement was alarming,

“From reducing our energy use to expanding public transit, Chicago will not skirt our responsibility to act,” Emanuel said. “We will work with cities around the country to reduce our emissions in accordance with the Paris Agreement, and urge President Trump to keep our nation’s commitment as well.”

Potosnak said the Paris Agreement and CPP are separate issues but related.

“It sends a signal to other countries that we don’t care about emissions,” Potosnak said.

Mariah Schultz, a senior dramaturgy/criticism major, said it’s disappointing to see the Trump Administration pulling away from legislation like CPP and not finding solutions to issues like health care and the environment.

“It seems very odd in 2017 to be taking those steps backward,” Schultz said.

Iran's president: Nuclear deal 'stronger' than Trump thinks

Nigerian court convicts 45 in Boko Haram mass trials

Tehran, Iran

Lagos, Nigeria A Nigerian court has convicted 45 Boko Haram members in the largest mass trial in the Islamic extremist group's history.

The closed-door proceedings have raised the concerns of human rights groups about whether the trials of the 1,669 people will be fair.

The 45 people were sentenced to between three and 31 years in prison, the country's information minister said in a statement Friday. Another 468 suspects were released, but the court ordered that they undergo deradicalization programs.

The government has not said what exactly the hundreds of suspects are charged with.

Nigeria is trying to show it is making progress against the extremist group that has killed more than 20,000 people during its eight-year insurgency. Boko Haram has yet to comment publicly on the mass trials.

Nigeria has arrested thousands of suspected Boko Haram members in recent years, and military detention facilities are overcrowded. Human rights groups say most of those detained have been picked up at random and without reasonable suspicion, including women and children.

Former detainees have described malnutrition, mistreatment and deaths in the facilities.

Boko Haram's attacks have spilled into neighboring countries and displaced more than 2.4 million people in the Lake Chad region, creating a vast humanitarian crisis.

Some fighters have allied with the Islamic State group. While Nigeria's military has arrested many Boko Haram top fighters and last year declared the extremist group had been "crushed," leader Abubakar Shekau remains elusive. The group in recent months has carried out a growing number of deadly suicide bombings and other attacks, many carried out by women or children.

23 now dead from Northern California wildfires Sonoma, California Authorities have confirmed two more deaths from Northern California's wildfires, taking the total to 23 as of Wednesday Oct. 11.

The sheriff 's office in Sonoma County, where most of the deaths have occurred, said Wednesday night that the toll there has reached 13. The other 10 deaths are dispersed across three other counties.

No details have been released on the two newly confirmed dead.

The massive complex of blazes has burned 265 square miles since breaking out almost simultaneously on Sunday night, Oct. 8.

The fires have destroyed at least 3,500 homes and businesses.

At least 180 people are injured and hundreds have been reported missing.

The last remaining evacuation order has been lifted as firefighters continue to make progress in their battle against a Southern California wildfire that destroyed 23 buildings, including some homes.

A day earlier, thousands of people who had to flee the blaze Monday night were allowed to return as winds that fueled the blaze calmed.

As of Wednesday night, the blaze was 60 percent contained after burning some 9,000 acres of brush and grass — nearly 14 ½ square miles of devastation.

Authorities are hoping that cooler, more humid weather will allow them to fully surround the blaze by Sunday. Authorities in Northern California say they are poring through the list of hundreds reported missing amid fierce wildfires and working through the cases one at a time.

Sonoma County Sheriff Rob Giordano said Wednesday night that investigators are starting at shelters looking for evacuees and

working their way backward to people's homes to see if they got out alive.

While many if not most of those reported missing have simply been unable to communicate with loved ones, authorities say the death toll of 21 is bound to grow.

The series of fires is already among the worst in California history, and high winds expected to arrive overnight could light them up even more.

State fire Chief Ken Pimlott says it's "going to continue to get worse before it gets better."

Authorities are ordering all residents of the Northern California town of Calistoga to evacuate, saying "conditions have worsened."

The Napa County Sheriff 's Office says in an alert sent via cellphone and email that residents need to leave by 5 p.m.

Wednesday.

Earlier, officials went through the town of 5,000 people, knocking on doors to warn about 2,000 of them to leave.

Low moisture was forecast and winds were beginning to pick up in the region Wednesday afternoon.

In neighboring Sonoma County, authorities issued an evacuation advisory for the northern part of the town of Sonoma and the community of Boyes Hot Springs. By then, lines of cars were already fleeing the community. Officials say they have thousands of firefighters battling 22 blazes burning in Northern California and that more are coming from nearby states.

California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection Chief Ken Pimlott says close to 8,000 firefighters have been deployed and are fighting the blazes by air and on the ground.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Friday his country "will continue to stick to" the nuclear deal, calling it, "much stronger" than U.S. President Donald Trump thinks.

Rouhani spoke on state television after Trump angrily accused Iran of violating the spirit of the 2015 accord and demanded Congress toughen the law governing U.S. participation. Trump said he was not ready to pull out of the deal but warned he would do so if it were not improved.

"Tonight's remarks (by Trump) showed the deal is much stronger than what he thought during the U.S. presidential campaigns," Rouhani said.

The faith of the average Iranian has eroded over time in the nuclear deal, which saw Iran agree to limit its enrichment of uranium in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions. It was sealed in July 2015 after 18 months of negotiations by the five permanent members of the U.N. The leaders of top U.S. allies Britain, France and Germany also underlined that they "stand committed" to the deal and expressed worries about the possible implications of Trump's announcement.

In a joint statement, British Prime Minister Theresa May, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron urged the Trump administration and Congress to consider the possible consequences for the West's security "before taking any steps that might undermine" the deal, including imposing sanctions on Iran that the agreement lifted.

In Moscow, a close ally of Iran, Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, spoke ahead of Trump's address, warning that any move to spike the deal "would undoubtedly hurt the atmosphere of predictability, security, stability and non-proliferation in the entire world."

Tehran-based political analyst Saeed Leilaz said Iran will not accept the U.S.'s pressure as it has not done so since its 1979 Islamic Revolution.

No meat, no service

McDonald's McVegan misses the mark

ALLY ZACEK | DEPAULIA

By David Stein Contributing Writer

For those who identify as vegan or vegetarian, McDonald’s has likely never been too high on the list of favorite restaurants to eat at.

Not only does the fast food chain have a narrow range of menu options for customers of the vegan or vegetarian variety, McDonald’s suppliers have also been publicly criticized in recent years for their negligence and cruelty towards their animals.

In 2015, an animal rights activist group called Mercy for Animals, obtained video footage from Tyson Foods, a former McDonald’s supplier, of employees at a Tyson Foods contract farm in Lewisburg Tennessee, beating chickens to death. In 2012, the U.S. Department of Agriculture shut down the plant Central Valley Meat Co., in Hanford, California that McDonald’s was buying meat from, when a video of cows being suffocated to death emerged.

While McDonald’s caters predominantly to meat-eaters, the multinational corporation is currently experimenting with an all-soy burger option that they’ve decided to call the McVegan.

This trial, which began exclusively in Tampere, Finland on Oct. 4, will be in effect until Nov. 21. From that point,

McDonald’s can decide whether or not the concept has long-term potential.

Perhaps this is a brilliant marketing strategy, but the thought of an animalslaughtering corporation like McDonald’s being able to successfully penetrate the vegan market sounds highly farfetched.

Why would someone choose to support a vegan product from a company like McDonald’s, which vehemently opposes their values with its other menu options?

Even marketing professor Ilan Geva, who formerly conducted research about McDonald’s, admits that a vegan menu option is oddly contradictory to the cornerstone meals that have grown the current brand into such a powerhouse.

“McDonald’s has the financial muscle.

There’s no doubt about that. If they decide to develop vegan as a concept, they may decide to develop a completely different sub-brand that will be financially owned

by McDonald’s, but it will cater to the market that prefers vegan to meat,” said Geva.

Instead, Geva suggests that McDonald’s launch a sub-brand if the McVegan were to take off, so there could be some separation from its non-vegan food products.

“Because of the scale and the power of McDonald’s, it might be worth it for them to open a separate brand. To start a completely separate company that

will do only vegan. It would be owned

by McDonald’s, but it would not carry the name McDonald’s. Why would they hurt their main brand by introducing something that completely contradicts what they serve under the umbrella of McDonald’s? Why introduce a conflict into a successful concept?” Geva said.

Although the McVegan concept is currently in a primitive stage, some people might be wondering how or why it came to be that the sandwich debuted in Finland, as opposed to another market.

According to Geva, new concepts like these always begin small before they expand to bigger geographical regions.

“They will be conducting test markets, in places like Finland, which is a relatively small market. And probably the expenses of using Finland as a testing market, as well as the acceptance of the local population is such, that they’re not going to invest billions of dollars into testing it in a country like the United States, because they want to see how it works in other places first,” Geva said.

Meanwhile, if the McVegan burger ever did make its way overseas to North America, senior Emily Roberts, who studies elementary school education, doesn’t believe it will be successful.

“Knowing McDonald, it’ll probably have like a week of fame and then won’t

last. Their meat isn’t fully meat so I assume their vegan burger won’t be tasty or will last,” Roberts said.

If McDonald’s were to offer the McVegan in the U.S. there is a possibility it would fail to sell. “Personally, if this idea were to ever come to North America, I can’t really foresee myself ever purchasing a McDonald’s product. Knowing the lack of quality that goes into their food, I don’t think I would ever really want to buy a meal or any sort of food product from them,” said long-time vegan Shawn Lipson.

It is possible that McDonald’s is only reaching into the vegan market for economic reasons.“They clearly don’t care about vegetarianism or veganism. I really just think they’re trying to see if they can capitalize on a new market of people who will come to their restaurants. Who knows if the idea is going to take off, but I sincerely doubt that McDonald’s cares about the ethical issues surrounding meat consumption,” Lipson said.

If social media is any indication, there seems to be a mixed reaction to McDonald’s new McVegan burger.

Whether it can be successful or not is anyone’s guess, but I do know one thing: if I were interested in attending a White Sox game, I wouldn’t go to Wrigley Field to look for tickets.

Hear our roar

Women have spoken, the world must respond PHOTO COURTESY OF CULTIVATING CONFIDENCE

Panelists from the Cultivating Confidence series speak to a crowd of women about barriers and challenges in the workplace and how to overcome them. Left to right: Heidi Stevens, Gerri Kahnweiler, Elinor Steele, Iliana Mora and Joyce Roche.

VICTORIA WILLIAMSON | THE DEPAULIA

By Natalie Taylor Opinions Editor

“If we lean in too far, we’ll fall over,” said Heidi Stevens, writer of the column “Balancing Act” in the Chicago Tribune.

Stevens referenced Sheryl Sandberg’s book “Lean In”, which urges women to be confident in the workplace. On Thursday, Oct. 12, Stevens moderated a panel titled Cultivating Confidence: Reshaping the Workplace by Tupperware. As Stevens said, being confident can only go so far.

There comes a time when the workforce and other organizations must meet women halfway.

Women have shown up in mass, both recently and over the decades, to fight for equal rights. The Women’s March on Jan. 21, was not only the largest singleday protest in U.S. history, it was also a worldwide display of women’s power, confidence and determination to spark social, economic and legal change. Women are making their voices heard, and its time for the world to respond accordingly.

Nonetheless, just because women are standing up for rights does not mean there are no roadblocks on the path to success.

Panelist at “Cultivating Confidence: Reshaping the Workplace,” Joyce Roché broke down the barriers women face in the workplace into three categories: cultural, life’s tests and self-doubt. Roché said there is priming in organizations, or an unconscious bias against a woman’s work ability.

Additionally, when a women has a child in a family where both parents are working, childcare often falls to the woman, which requires a mom to constantly be making trade-offs between family and work life.

Finally, an obstacle to woman in the

workforce is self-doubt. While it is not only a women’s job to fight for equality, it is important for women to be confident and assert their worth.

“I think the young women students I have seen and worked with should be confident that they are every bit as smart, as prepared, and as capable of doing everything, and anything, men can do,” said PRAD professor Jill Stewart.

Statistical representations of inequalities can create a lack of confidence in women. The average woman makes 79 cents to the dollar men make, but this number varies among races. According to the Pew Research Center, Asian women earn 87 percent of what men earn, white women earn 82 percent, black women earn 65 percent, and Hispanic women earn 58 percent. The wage gap is unjust and sends the message a women’s work is less valuable than a man’s. It is time for equal work to result in equal compensation.

Today, more women are graduating from college, obtaining graduate degrees and entering the workforce. According to the Department of Labor’s Women’s Bureau, the most common jobs for women in 2014 were an elementary school teacher, an RN, a secretary and nursing aides. All professions are honorable, but they are also characteristically female. Throughout history, women have been encapsulated into traditional, “care giving” roles for professions or trapped into the role of a “secretary” in corporate America. Even today, the top professions show that stereotypical female traits are ingrained into a woman’s career.

The top professions for men hold one defining role that top female professions do not - leadership roles. According to

the Department of Labor, the most common jobs for men include driver, manager, first-line supervisors, laborers and retail salesperson. It can be argued that some professions play to the ideal of the brutish man and are focused on the power of physicality such as a laborer. However, it speaks volumes that two management roles are in the top five professions for men, while women have none.

“I am a big cheerleader for women at all levels, and I wish we saw many more in board rooms and the C-suite. Progress is slow, but steady. Institutional and policy support for women during their childbearing and child-rearing years would make a world of difference: universal parent leave policies and safe, affordable daycare would advance women in the work world. The USA lags behind in both leave and child care support,” Stewart said.

It is time for more women to enter higher levels of management. In order to bring about this change, it is not only on women to assert their value and worth in the workplace, but also for organizations to become more accommodating. According to the Pew Research Center, the United States falls as one of the countries that offer the lowest amount of paid maternity leave for new mothers. This often forces women to use sick days and paid time off to care for children.

Iliana Mora, CEO of Women Employed, shared the story of her going back to work three months after her child was born at the “Cultivating Confidence” panel.

She shared the struggle of making 7 a.m. meetings when her child would not sleep through the night for months. Working with a majority of male co-workers, they did not understand the struggle of making

early meetings while caring for a new child.

It is common that the strain of working and caring for an infant at the same time will result in women leaving the workforce.

This creates a gap in the workforce of women at management levels, who have left to care for children full time. Companies must mandate programming to help transition women back into the workforce, and set them up to regain promotions and upper-management positions after leave.

This way, taking time to care for a child does not mean falling behind in a career.

Even in starting positions at a company, an organization can show a bias against female workers. That model is slowly evolving.

“The structure is changing for women in finance," said junior Isabel Bakros.

"Many executives and seniors are male while at my company many of our new hires are women. Women are adding a unique perspective and drive in this industry. I know moving into a male dominated field can be a challenge but I have only felt empowered by being able to go against the norm. I wish more women would consider a career in finance push industry to consider the value women can add."

Hiring women and promoting them in the workforce has proven benefits.

The study “Working Women in the City and Urban Wage Growth in the United States,” by Al Weinstein shows a 10 percent increase of women entering the workforce results in a 5 percent real wage growth.

The success of women in the workforce is beneficial to all.

Women are speaking up for their rights, it’s time for organizations to respond and implement action to finally reach equality.

Media vorte What streaming plat

By Sarah Julien Contributing Writer

“I can’t stop myself, once I start a season— I have to finish it,” freshman Destinti Riley said. Her friends all erupt in laughter, and they agree that Riley simply has no selfcontrol. Riley is not the lone star that has gotten sucked into the black hole of binge watching, and this television viewing experience is what has resonated (and won over) the hearts of millennials. Athena Gonzalez, a sophomore at DePaul, says that she and her family “chose to cancel our cable subscription in exchange for Netflix and Hulu accounts.”

This was a common trend for students on campus. “You can’t beat the convenience of having any show you want to watch right at your fingertips,” sophomore Alec Seng said.

Consumers simply do not want to pay for the cable subscription, box and extra fees if they can get everything they want to watch online (or through a friend or parent’s login.)

“My family pays for the biggest package that Netflix offers because so many people

use the account— my parents, sister, cousins, and aunts all share one account,” Seng said.

Daniel Brown, a freshman at DePaul, said that over eight people share the password and login credentials for his accounts. The streaming services are not blind to the fact that there is a culture for password sharing — the multiple screen offerings are practically built into the packages — but the problem arises when the streaming services are garnering higher ratings than cable television programs.

The one area where the streaming platforms are unable to compete with cable networks in are sports coverage and news. “I couldn’t give up cable, there is something about watching a live sports game every Sunday that you can’t get when you watch it on the ESPN apps,” freshman Mark Karge said. The commercial breaks have become a part of the experience, and this routine seems fitting for sports enthusiasts who become invested in their favorite

teams.

Each platform or major network has its own hit show that causes a frenzy in the media. Hulu’s "The Handmaid’s Tale" took home the golden statue for winning ‘The Best Drama Series’ at the 2017 Emmy Awards. Its competitors were Netflix’s "The Crown," "Stranger Things," "House of Cards", NBC’s "This Is Us," AMC’s "Better Call Saul," and HBO’s "Westworld".

These Emmy nominated television shows illustrate how the scope of the television industry has changed. The digital world has flipped the way we digest the media we consume, and with this change comes an influx of subscription options that (if subscribed to all the platforms) come with a high price tag. The large cable networks are competing with streaming services that are producing their own original content. With the media becoming saturated with almost too many options, how do consumers choose what to watch?

50 students were asked what their top pick for best TV show on a streaming platform was, and Game of Thrones and Stranger Things are by far everyone’s favorites.

Oblivion Verses CDM Professor Alireza Khatami wins Venice screenwriting award

By Matt Koske Arts & Life Editor

In the Computing and Digital Media program, students and professors seek creative ways to make a name for themselves. There’s no one correct way to break into the industry, but simply producing content sure helps that process.

Alireza Khatami, a Directing and Cinema Production professor at DePaul and an avid independent filmmaker, wrote and directed his debut feature film “Oblivion Verses” which was awarded the Orizzonti Award for Best Screenplay at the 74th Venice Film Festival in September.

The Orizzonti Horizons section at the Venice Film Festival is open to all “customformat” works that often lean towards new trends in expressive languages in the art of filmmaking. Khatami’s magic realist vision behind the 43 drafts of his “Oblivion Verses” script quite obviously secures its niche in this display of 31 films that Venice had to offer.

The award news broke out just days before “Oblivion Verses” was set to screen its North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.

In Toronto, the film was divided into the Discovery section, which typically exhibits films by first-time directors.

“I’m interested in playing around with genre, with the ways we tell a story, playing with the structure, the edit. That’s the fun part for me, to test an idea. Of course sometimes you fail and sometimes you don’t,” Khatami said.

“Oblivion Verses” centers on an old caretaker who tends to his cemetery, filing archives, watering the plants and conversing with the gravedigger and hearse driver. The unnamed caretaker – like all of the characters in the film – is uprooted from his day-to-day routine when a government group of paramilitary supporters take over the morgue to lay bodies from some violent social disturbance that took place in town.

The desolation of the old man mixed with the visuals of a family of beached whales floating throughout the sky as they fight to stick together is without a doubt an abstract way of thematically expressing the loss of loved ones. The caretaker’s journey will evoke within him the memories and personal loss that he has suffered through as he searches for a proper burial for a young woman.

“I’m a believer that you should not completely shake the format, you should just push it a little bit because if you push it too much then it becomes a product that nobody recognizes,” Khatami said.

“You don’t want to make a film that nobody connects to. It’s okay if they’re uncomfortable. It’s okay if they don’t know what to do with the film. Give them something, hold them there, but lead them to uncharted territories.”

Khatami applied for the DePaul teaching job during production of “Oblivion Verses.” He was interested in the M.F.A. at DePaul because there wasn’t any scholarship system for international students and he didn’t have the money. The production schedule ran for 23 days and Khatami was shooting seven days a week.

Not to mention the time difference, there was no possible way he could conduct the

interview outside of his shooting schedule.

“The interview was arranged for 10 a.m. my time and we were shooting in Chile. I set up the shot and I told my Director of Photography and First Assistant Director, ‘here’s what happens: the actor comes from here, goes there, does this. You guys run the shoot. I have an interview.’ So there is a shot in the movie which I didn’t direct,” Khatami said. “When I came back after the interview was finished, I realized that the crew is clearing the set. ‘What happened?

I haven’t seen it!’ ‘It doesn’t matter. It’s good. Let’s move on.’ But the crew, they’re amazing people. Anytime I look at that shot, I know I was interviewing DePaul at that time.”

To secure funding for “Oblivion Verses,” Khatami collaborated with quite the diverse group of production companies. Initially, he teamed up with a French producer, then he welcomed on Dutch and German co-producers.

Shooting the film in Chile with Spanish actors, it all came down to necessity.

Altogether, the film took five years to finance and complete production.

“As a first time filmmaker, all you have is limitations,” Khatami said. “I had to live within different cultures; I had to tell stories that anybody from any culture could connect with. Basically, the element of geography was eliminated from my work and the element of language was omitted from my work. The kind of story I wrote could be placed anywhere in any language.”

Khatami was born in Iran in 1980.

He relocated to Malaysia in 2004 where he worked in creative multimedia with a focus in visual effects. Working with Malaysian filmmakers until 2010, he then received a scholarship to the Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia.

There he worked on his undergrad thesis short film “Focal Point,” which gained film festival acclaim and opened some doors.

“Shooting in Chile was cheap enough for us to make an indie film there. They had great technicians, they had wonderful actors, but we had grants mostly from European countries and there was this limitation that we had to spend money in Europe to some degree, so we had to hire European actors,” Khatami said.

“All of this came together mostly out of necessity.”

With Khatami’s short film “Focal Point,” he applied for a residency at the Cannes Film Festival CineFondation Residency. After a few tries at applying, he finally got accepted with his debut feature “Oblivion Verses.”

The film is still on its International film festival circuit. Within the next couple of years, it will have releases in Italy, Switzerland, France and Chile with other odd territories under negotiation.

There will also be limited releases in other countries around the world, with hopes that U.S. will be one of them.

“Oblivion Verses” can be seen in Chicago this week at the Chicago International Film Festival. The film screens on Friday, Oct. 20 at 6 p.m. and on Saturday, Oct. 21 at 1:45 p.m. Khatami is scheduled to attend both screenings for a Q&A. “I teach what I know. What I know

I tell them (students) what I’ve done that didn’t work because I think humans learn from mistakes, we don’t learn from achievements. Achievements are misleading,” Khatami said. “I bring

my experience to the classroom, I let my students learn my mistakes so hopefully they don’t go out there to make the same mistakes.”

Film review: “Blade Runner 2049”

Denis Villeneuve’s vision explores the depths of humanity

Ryan Gosling (left) and Harrison Ford (right) in Denis Villeneuve’s “Blade Runner 2049” that opened in theaters on Oct. 6 to $32 million. The original was released in 1982.

Contributing Writer

Thirty five years ago, the original “Blade Runner” hypnotized viewers with never-before seen visuals and thrilling sound design. The story alone is so captivating that Hampton Fancher and David Peoples’ adapted screenplay remains a favorite of screenwriters to this day. In an age where Hollywood is quick to pervert and recycle classics with sloppy and cliche reboots, sci-fi fans around the globe have been cautiously and optimistically holding their breath for “Blade Runner 2049.”

The good news is that fans of both cinema and sci-fi can collectively exhale.

“Blade Runner 2049” is a brilliant piece of film making —a completely immersive and visceral thrill ride.

Make no mistake, this film is a clear cut sequel to the original. While audiences will certainly still enjoy “Blade Runner 2049” on its own, the experience won’t be the same without viewing the original.

Many questions from the first “Blade Runner” are answered and audiences will not be left wondering as they were the first time — is Deckard a replicant?

Thanks to a $150 million dollar budget, this film is one that should not be viewed in anything other than IMAX. Much like “Interstellar,” audiences will be rocked to their core by the sound design. Hans Zimmer brings to the score a power and magnetism that only he can. Although the score is new, it also pays homage to the original. Zimmer remains true to the film’s dark theme with ominous tones, often times using didgeridoos, the ancient instrument of the Aborigines.

Ryan Gosling can’t seem to fail and delivers a stunning performance as Agent K, a replicant Blade Runner that hunts down and destroys outdated Nexus models. The film is set 30 years after the original, focused on a dystopic version of Los Angeles that has plunged further into global catastrophe, with economic and food resources scarce.

While performing his duty of hunting down replicants, Agent K is led on a wild goose chase that takes him further down

a rabbit hole, leading him in search of the legendary Rick Deckard. Enter Harrison Ford, who at 75 still looks convincing enough to be trading punches with the much younger Gosling. Ford brings to the role a level of subtly and nuance that he perhaps missed in the original film. With 35 years to perfect his character, it is no surprise that the world’s highest paid actor delivers in spades.

Although Ford was excellent, Gosling’s performance could have carried the film on its own. Perhaps drawing on his quiet yet violent character from the 2011 film “Drive,” Gosling does not over -act. He is rigid when he needs to be and emotionally expressive when appropriate.

As always, Gosling’s tender good looks sharply contrast his ability to portray cold violence.

Many were skeptical that director Denis Villeneuve would be able to bring justice to Ridley Scott’s 1982 cult classic.

With his last two titles “Arrival” and “Sicario” achieving huge success, it seems that Villeneuve is well on his way to becoming a household name. Villeneuve incorporates a light to the film that was missing from the original. Fantastic shots of gold and amber permeate the film, washing over incredible architecture and sprawling wastelands.

Unfortunately, due to the star power of Gosling and Ford, the brilliance of the female performances may be lost on critics and audiences alike. Ana de Armas brings a quiet and perfectly understated beauty to the role of Joi that almost makes us forget that her character is nothing more than a hologram of artificial intelligence.

Likewise, Sylvia Hoeks brings a raw savagery and brutality to her role as Luv that few women dare to explore.

The plot twist is fresh and for fans of the original, there are plenty of tributes that can be easily spotted throughout the film. Several favorite characters make an appearance including a cameo by Edward James Olmos. Although Jared Leto may have been type casted, he delivers a convincing role as Dr. Tyrell’s successor — a performance that he desperately needed after his role as Joker in “Suicide Squad, “which was widely considered to be a flop.

What makes “Blade Runner 2049” a cinematic masterpiece is that it takes the viewer through the entire range of the human experience. The film explores the very limits of love, rage, violence, sexuality,and ultimately questions what it means to be human. The film will force you to look deep within yourself and

examine your own humanity. While love permeates the storyline, it is so brilliantly juxtaposed with brutal violence that it does not for a second become cheesy.

With visuals that will transport you through space and time, coupled with sharp dialogue and sound design, this film is one that should not be missed.

20|Arts & Life The DePaulia. Oct. 16, 2017 TATTOOS continued from front page has risen as a cultural phenomenon, and even businesses have even begun capitalizing on the hype.

Each Friday the 13th has now become a popular day for people to get small tattoos at a cheap price and for local tattoo shops to generate more business. Lines began to form outside of tattoo shops across the city hours before they open with hundreds of eager customers waiting for their turn to be tattooed.

Pink Rhino Tattoo in Boystown has been running a Friday the 13th special since they opened in 2014. They offer $31 tattoos of any design that fit in a 2-by-2 space, but the deal has gone through some changes since its conception.

“Early we had a lot of people kind of want to take advantage of the situation and they want to get a big piece for $31.

That’s not going to happen,” shop owner David Herrera said. “We just had to start implementing stricter rules on that because people will come in wanting something too intricate.”

Now, customers can either bring in their own designs or get a tattoo from a flash sheet offered by the shop. The flash sheet includes simple pre-drawn options most of which incorporate the number 13 into the design. Several other tattoo parlors around Chicago including Taylor Street Tattoo, Twisted Tattoo and Mind Crusher Tattoo offer similar deals.

Many of these shops and more across the country offer $13 tattoos with a $7 tip.

Days are long for the tattoo artists catering to so many customers when they offer the deal. Herrera estimated that he tattooed 40 people when they were open last Friday the 13th in January and he didn’t leave until 6 a.m.

“Some of the guys here even ended up staying until 8:30 the next morning, and the cut-off time for sign-ups is at 9 p.m., so you just have people waiting around to get tattooed,” Herrera said.

One of the tattoo artists working at Pink Rhino on the chaotic day was Curtis Smith who goes by Rabbit. He has worked on several Friday the 13th’s and finds those days to be the most stressful, but also the most lucrative.

“You don’t get breaks, you can’t eat, you can’t smoke cigarettes, you can’t do nothing but give tattoos back to back to back,” Rabbit said. “The best part is that you make a lot of money, but you’re too tired to spend it the next day.”

Customers cycle in and out in only a matter of minutes as the artists permanently ink hundreds of people with their art or often with custom designs.

Rabbit has given hundreds of tattoos from previous Friday the 13th events and each experience is unique. The pandemonium makes for an interesting day for the artists in terms of designs they get and people they meet.

“We get a lot of different designs, so it’s hard to pick a favorite one, but probably giving the Batman logo on a guy’s butt cheek was my favorite,” he said.

Gabriel Velez, 19, was one of the customers waiting in the line at Pink Rhino when their doors opened at noon looking to get “a good piece at a decent price.” He brought his own design of the Chicago skyline that he trusts in the hands of the artists at the shop.

“I know the artists are really good,” Velez said. “I did a bit of research before, I looked at their Instagram and website and compared them to a couple other places.”

Through all of the tattooing and waiting, Friday the 13th pays off by giving the artists exposure and giving shops more business.

“We like doing this because it’s great promotion and it’s been sort of a way to say thank you to the people who have been supporting us for the past three years,” Herrera said.

RAC at Metro

Remix Artistic Collective mix and mash CONNOR O’KEEFE| THE DEPAULIA

Remix Artist Collective (RAC) perfromed at the Metro on Friday, Oct. 13. Liz Anjos, aka Pink Feathers, took over as lead singer as RAC features over 200 remixed songs.

By Connor O’Keefe Contributing Writer

In this day and age, remixes have generally become known as danceable, electronic, repetitive beats meant for nightclubs and parties. André Allen Anjos, the founder of the Remix Artistic Collective (RAC), strives to do something different.

RAC’s remixes of artists from a variety of genres and styles aims to improve upon the original piece while emphasizing interesting and unique arrangements.

He does this with a mix and mash of live instruments and electronic synths, each working off the other to create a unique take on a pre-existing song. He released his first original album, “Strangers,” in 2014.

Since then, he’s done a combination of original music and his own twist on other artists’ songs, adding synths and poppy twists to a variety of different works.

He continued this electronic style with his newest album, “EGO.” It continues with the collaborations he’s become known for, bringing in the likes of St. Lucia, Rivers Cumo and K. Flay. In total, it boasts 13 different singers throughout, causing the musical tone to ebb and flow as Anjos manages to maintain a consistent enough style from start to finish to make it feel like one cohesive piece.

The album is unapologetically pop, but with the various musicians involved it manages to combine electronic synths and rock instruments. Weezer and K. Flay’s collaborations stand out particularly in this way. “I Still Wanna Know” and “Heartbreak Summer” utilize harder guitars and more rock melodies, cutting into his smoother electronic sounds.

This transfers over incredibly well to live performances. With electronic music, and particularly remixes such as Anjos’, there’s always a question as to how that sound will be presented on stage. On Friday, Oct. 13 he took to the Metro with

bandmates Troupe Gammage, Karl Kling and Liz Anjos to answer that question.

Especially for those who appreciated his unique arrangements, there was little to no disappointment. The band carried the gusto and uniqueness that came with RAC’s style through a full set band and a small keyboard synth.

They leaned on the rock’ n’ roll flavor of the newest “EGO” album, featuring a predominantly live-instrument performance. Each of the musicians’ beyond Anjos himself, were incredibly versatile. They moved with ease from vocals to instrumental to backup vocals throughout the show, providing each set of songs with its own rhythm and pace.

Gammage opened the show with high energy and switched almost seamlessly to Anjos, who provided a more soothing, calm and atmospheric performance. Both were accompanied by Kling and other band members on vocals.

The lack of one single frontrunner or lead to the band gave the group a wholeness that complemented the collaborative process that went in the writing of the songs they performed. All of it points back to Anjos’ original mission: changing peoples’ beliefs about what a remix could be. The parts of the whole working together on stage made the performance more about the work that went into the melodies and rhythms and the process of executing them live. It wasn’t about just dancing, but appreciating the multiple sets of talent that brought these pieces to the recording booth and then the stage.

This combination of moving and shifting performers really brought to light a new meaning behind the purpose of RAC. The night as a whole opened with Lizzy Plapinger’s solo project known as LPX, a pantone punk/alternative rock band.

Plapinger recently announced taking a break from her electro pop duo MS MR for the more guitar driven pumping music of LPX. Although the majority of the

The Meyerowitz Stories

Raw

Adam Sandler is back in something that is actually worthwhile, in regards to his dramatic role in Noah Baumbach’s “The Meyerowitz Stories.” The Netflix original film was released on Netflix on Oct. 13 and is available now at your fingertips .

Horror fans, you’ll like this one. “Raw” came out in 2016 and was just added to Netflix earlier this month. French director Julia Ducournau makes her feature debut in this grotesque and gory journey about cannibalism.

The cast, featuring Sandler, Grace Van Patten, Dustin Hoffman, Ben Stiller, Elizabeth Marvel and Emma Thompson, works closely with Baumbach’s (“While We’re Young,” “Greenberg” and “Frances Ha”) script as the estranged Meyerowitz family gathers in New York for an event to celebrate the work of their father, Harold (played brilliantly by Hoffman).

Unfortunately, Netflix’s process of releasing material excludes theatrical distribution, but fortunately we live in Chicago and can experience this film in theaters at Landmark Century Cinema. The lack of theater presence affects the Oscar’s way of nominating pieces of work as this is a very relevant topic in the film industry, especially around this film and “Okja” that both premiered at Cannes.

“Raw” follows Justine (Garance Marillier) a young vegetarian who undergoes a carnivorous hazing ritual at vet school that turns her into a meat loving fanatic. Not just any meat, but human meat, human flesh.

This kind of horror movie is in its own domain. The goriest makeup display along with the keen written detail by Ducournau makes this an unnerving treat for the October season. The coming-of-age film that takes place at a veterinarian college that has some of the most stylized portrayals of realistic human gore in recent attempts. It’s a very confident first feature for Ducournau as she never hesitates to shy away from any sort of disturbing material that comes in front of the camera.

“The Meyerowitz Stories” concludes Sandler’s first dramatic role since Paul Thomas Anderson’s 2002 “Punch Drunk Love” as fans of him eagerly have waited for this character-driven film.

What really surprises here is the execution, whether it regards the major plot twist that focus on Justine’s older sister - they’re called the Scissor Sisters - or just the simple use of the human body as a way of curing hunger, it’s a daring example of the forms of art that don’t necessarily come across our everyday streaming lists.

By DePaulia Staff Here at the DePaulia, many different music tastes linger throughout the room when it comes down to crunch time.

There are countless distractions down here in the basement of Uhall and there’s definitely no windows to look out of to help pass the time. Check out some of the DePaulia’s staff top song choices that help get us through meeting our deadlines or simply a tune we listen to the second we are finished for the week.

1. “I’d Rather go Blind” Etta James Etta James’ soulful, sorrowful song off her 1968 album “Tell Mama” is one of those songs that can either mend a broken heart or make one infinitely worse.

James drearily saunters through the tune about a lover who she walked away from only to hit those high notes that cemented her legendary status within the Chicago Electric Blues scene.

James’ original version lacks the technical prowess that Beyoncé demonstrates in her cover of the song for the

Crossword

movie “Cadillac Records.” But Beyoncé’s impossible crescendos falter when it comes to the goosebump-inducing dry soul of James’ version.

2. “No. 1 Party Anthem” Arctic Monkeys This song is the ultimate slow-burn. Released in 2013 on the Arctic Monkeys’ fifth album, “AM,” “No 1. Party Anthem” subverts the band’s sometimes heavy rock sounds with a mellower tone that’s carried by strong piano. Lyrically, Arctic Monkey’s front man Alex Turner churns out an ode to the moments

when you temporarily fall in love with a stranger across the room.

This is the song that plays at last call, a modern “Closing Time,” signaling that it’s time to go home now.

3. “Walking the Wire” Imagine Dragons Hearing this as the fourth track off their third album, “Evolve,” let me know immediately that this would be a quality album. For this one, Dan and crew return to the arena rock sound that brought “Radioactive” to dizzying heights of popularity. The song is paced

brilliantly, building perfectly into a chorus that makes me want to scream with it every time it graces my ears. This is a song that I will always play when I need motivation.

4. “Just My Type” - Saint Motel The solo sax riff comes in strong and sets the upbeat tone for this jazzy, alternative song

Run, Demons, Run

By Emma Enderle Contributing Writer

Running might be torture to some, but a handful of students pushed themsleves to the limit running the Chicago Marathon. Sohphomore David Yonamine ran the Chicago Marathon for the first time this year.

Yonamine said a big influence on his decision to run the Chicago Marathon on Oct. 8 was his father, who has run 13 marathons of his own.

Yonamine ran for Team World Vision, an organization that brings clean drinking water to children in Africa. He said his father has run for Team World Vision in the past, which inspired him to team up with them this year.

The marathon sets up runners in waves and corrals according to their anticipated mile paces and finish times.

Yonamine ran in the first wave of runners in corral B, starting at about 7:30 a.m.

“I trained very hard for this and followed a strict training plan for months leading up to the marathon,” Yonamine said. “I was very relaxed until about 10 minutes before. Then I started to feel nervous.”

Yonamine finished the race in 3:18:00, a time he said he is very proud of.

“I cramped up at about mile 20, so I started to run/ walk to keep from injuring myself. But I still really enjoyed the entire race,” Yonamine said. “I knew since it was my first marathon that no matter what my finish time was, it would be my best.”

Sophomore Bobby Wulf, also completed the Chicago Marathon for his first time last Sunday.

Wulf said he volunteered at the marathon last year and was blown away by the size of the event.

“I knew it must be even more amazing from a runner’s perspective,” Wulf said. “I’d run 5Ks, 10Ks and half marathons. I wanted to push myself to see if I could do this.”

Wulf did not run with an organization, but followed a training plan set up by his uncle, who ran the marathon alongside him. Wulf says he was excited upon signing up, but began to feel discouraged during his training.

“I started to feel like I was just running to run, like I didn’t have a specific reason,” Wulf said. “But as the race got closer, my excitement came back, as well as my nerves.”

Wulf explained that he trained with the intent to finish, rather than getting a fast time.

“Since this was my first marathon, I was just focused on finishing,” Wulf said. “I was in the third wave of runners in corral K with expected finish times between four and five hours.”

Wulf said he did a good job of staying with his

Spectators held up “encouraging” signs for participants in the marathon. anticipated pace, ensuring he was never running too fast or too slow.

“The first 18 miles went really well, but after mile 19 my legs started getting sore,” Wulf said. “This made the last seven miles pretty tough.”

Wulf said the support he received from the sidelines made the race more enjoyable for him, though.

“It’s a little bit easier to run 26.2 miles when people are cheering you on the entire way,” Wulf said.

Wulf finished the race in 4:49:00.

“When I crossed the finish line, I was in shock that I actually did it,” Wulf said. “I was proud but also completely exhausted. I just wanted to sleep for as long as I could afterwards.”

Galen Rupp, from Portland, Oregon, came in first

place for men, with a finish time of 2:09:20, becoming the first American to win the Chicago Marathon since 2002.

This was only Rupp’s fourth time running a marathon.

Tirunesh Dibaba, from Ethiopia, came in first place for women, finishing at 2:17:31. This was Dibaba’s first time winning a marathon.

Both Yonamine and Wulf hope to run more marathons in the future.

“I now have the goal of running the world’s six major marathons—Chicago, New York, Boston, Berlin, London, and Tokyo!” Yonamine said.

“I definitely see myself running more marathons in the future,” Wulf said. “But with how sore I am now, I don’t think that will be for a while.”

GOLF

MEN'S TENNIS

WOMAN'S TENNIS

After a dead-last finish at the Louisville Cardinal Challenge in Simpsonville, Kentucky, DePaul's men's golf team looked to turn things around at Warren Golf Course in Notre Dame, Indiana.

The two-day, 54-hole event teed off on Oct. 8 with 36 holes and came to a close Monday, Oct. 9 with the final 18.

Through 36-holes, freshman Joe McCarthy continued his strong play with rounds of 71 (+1) and 70 (E), pulling himself inside the top 20.

A final-round 76 knocked McCarthy well outside of the top-20 (T-37) for his worst finish of the year. Still, the freshman standout was the second-highest finisher on DePaul's roster.

Senior Freddy Thomas was DePaul's top finisher, jumping out of the gate with a first round 67 (-3). A second round 76 (+6) killed what could have been a breakout day for the senior. A solid final-round 70 landed the senior a T-22 finish.

DePaul finished 12th out of 13 teams.

The third tournament of the fall for men’s tennis was the three-day Louisville Fall Invitational. The Friday matches saw several Demon’s advance.

Christopher Casati and Fran Tonejc both defeated their pair of opponents to move to the B Division quarter finals. Boris SPanjaard and Alex Galoustein both split their games in A Division. For doubles, both the Spanjaard, Luuk Wassenaar team and Casati, Tonejc team advanced.

The second day saw Tripp Tuff and Tamas Zador come up with victories in singles and will face each other in the C Division championship. Tuff advanced with victories over Xavier’s Mike Lee and Chattanooga’s Pablo Liebeili.

Zador was victorius over Serjen Olmedo from Toledo and Chris Adams from Ball State. Casati and Tonejc both fell short of the semi-finals.

In doubles, Casati and Tonejc rode an 8-2 victory to the B Division semifinals. The Spanjaard-Wassenaar pair lost 8-2 in flight A competition.

The women’s tennis team traveled to Ann Arbor, Mich. over the weekend to participate in the ITA Midwestern Regional Championships.

Alina Kuzmenkova won both of her matches on Thursday, putting her one win away from qualifying for the Saturday main draw. Mila Tesic won her first match, but fell in the second to fall out of contention for the main draw.

The doubles teams of Aspasia Avgeri and Lenka Antonijevic alongside Keisha Clousing and Patricia Lancrajan advanced to the Saturday main draw.

On Saturday, Clousing and Lancranjan fell 8-4 to Northwestern’s fourth seeded pair of Erin Larner and Maddie Lipp. The loss brought the tandems record to 4-2 on the season and 1-0 against nationally ranked opponents and ended DePaul's run at the tournament.

The Blue Demons will be on the court next on Oct. 27 to play in the Roberta Allison Open in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

Milender said playing in the new stadium was almost like an away game because they weren’t used to it. Fans continuously trickled in as practice went on and had their own opinions on seeing the arena for the first time.

Starting at 11 a.m., tours were given to show fans the locker rooms and other behind the scenes facilities. There was a men and women’s locker room, both

“Koray Yesilli, who was a captain at the time(…)ran all the way from the south end of the field…all the way to midfield, to me,” Low said. “He gave me a high five and a hug and was like, ‘don’t worry about this man, you got this’.”

Low, feeling empowered by the moment, helped the team to a 2-1 upset to begin his career. Five years later, he is a senior on a team that is looking to make the Big East tournament for the third season in a row. Rebuilding this team has led to especially strong bonds between the players by going through some crucial moments together.

Going down the stretch last season, DePaul was holding fast to the final playoff spot in the Big East and traveled to New York to take on St. Johns in the second to last game of the season. DePaul needed a win to stay in place. This was the tail end of Stijn van der Slot’s junior season, after transferring from the Netherlands the previous year.

St. John’s gave DePaul a tough battle, their goalie recording his season high of seven saves and forcing the game to go into overtime. In minute 92, van der Slot found the back of the net for the biggest goal of his college career. And his parents had made their first trip to the United States to see it. Stijn sprinted towards the bleachers to celebrate with them.

The home Red Storm fans looked around in confusion as this player from the enemy team sorinted toward them.

Sudenly two members of the crowd ran down to meet Stijn. He jumped in to his parents arms for a celebration hug.

Scott Sowizrol, a ticket holder for 37 years, rated the current men’s team as mediocre but thought the new facilities should help them get better.

“It’s highly effective as a recruiting mechanism to have the amenities they have for the players underneath those stands,” Sowizrol said.

Matt Cavanagh has been a season ticket holder since graduating in 2009 and said he has been frustrated with the team, but recent developments have him feeling awesome to me,” Stijn said.

As fun as it is to reflect on past victories, the current season is not yet over. DePaul sits at eighth place in the conference, two points behind the sixth place Seton Hall Pirates with four conference games left.

The team is still making sure to focus on the next games as the Big East tournament draws closer, starting on Nov. 4.

“We were very close last season to the NCAAs. We’ve improved the team, we have better players so I think we should be making it to the NCAAs,” Midfielder Hans Wustling said. “We’re coming off two losses, so we have to focus one winning the next game, making it to the Big East tournament and then going from there.”

The Blue Demons dropped a third in a row on Saturday, falling 2-0 to the number 20 Butler Bulldogs. Low had a game high seven saves, but it was not enough. Butler opened the scoring in minute 10. DePaul's offense was unable to capitalize on four consecutive attempts at an equalizer during minute 70 and 71. Butler would add the final goal in minute 80. All this just makes the remaining games more important to reaching the tournament. DePaul next game will be against Loyola on Oct. 17.

The seniors will be honored on the Oct. 21 game against St. Johns. As is the tradition, all seven of the seniors will be starting. The players told stories of thosewho played out of position and almost scored and seniors who had barely played all year who scored in senior days past. Philip Konigstein, who currently leads DePaul in points, hopes this one will have a similar story behind it.

“No doubt there is something special about senior day,” Konigstein said. “I know all of our parents will be there(…)we have all the seniors starting who I have a very strong bond with so(…)I hope that that will be my favorite memory with DePaul.

I’m very excited for that game already."

cautiously optimistic. Saturday was his first viewing of the stadium he thought was amazing. As a former student he thought of how much easier it would be to get to Wintrust from campus.

After the women’s practice there was a ribbon cutting ceremony, featuring speeches from DePaul athletics director Jean Lenti Ponsetto and Wintrust CEO Edward J. Wehmer. After cutting the rope, signifying the official opening of the arena, the day wrapped up with the men’s basketball practice.

The men’s team filled the stadium with sounds of cheering on teamates and communicating on the floor. These could be signs of a new mentality that head coach Dave Leitao is trying to get his team to reach.

“We’d like to think we are bigger, we’re more skilled, and we’re deeper,” Leitao said at the tip off luncheon. “But we’re still very much challenged in the fact that we haven’t done it yet. That’s our biggest deal now, is to get guys to go from the mentality that they’ve had to a different mentality that not only can they compete, but we can compete for the reason of winning.”

After practice, junior Eli Cain noted that the plethora of veterans they have, like graduate transfer Marin Maric, are helping to build the new culture. Maric would add that it is all about starting a winning tradition and that winning the little things will allow them to win games.

The talk is there, but we won’t know how real it is until the Nov. 11 opening game against Notre Dame, where Wintrust will be tested on how many fans it can truly draw and the team will be tested on how far their new mentality can get them.

RECRUITS, continued from back page coaching staff in May 2017.

In May, Campbell told Shannon Ryan of the Chicago Tribune that he originally committed to DePaul largely because Heirman coached there and the two have such a strong connection. DePaul hopes that its deeply-rooted relationship with La Lumiere will give it an advantage over other schools when Campbell makes his final decision on where he will attend college.

The other potentially programaltering recruit was hard to miss, as his 6-foot-10-inch frame made it nearly impossible for him to blend in with the crowd as he sat courtside with his family.

DePaul basketball welcomed fourstar, class of 2018 big man Bryan PennJohnson to Chicago this weekend. The Blue Demons have vigorously recruited him this fall, even sending its full coaching staff out to Wasatch Academy in Utah to watch him play in mid-September.

According to ESPN, he’s received offers from Florida State, Oregon, USC, Washington and West Virginia, among other schools. He has now taken an official and an unofficial visit to DePaul.

The appearance of the two top recruits could show that the fabled magic of Wintrust as a recruiting tool may already be working, but that will not be certain until one or both make a commitment.

DePaul lands two new recruits Eighth grader, Ukrainian big man verbally commit to DePaul

By Paul Steeno Staff Writer

Oct. 8

The DePaul men’s basketball program has received another verbal commitment from a player who has yet to reach high school.

California eighth grader Skyy Clark announced on his Instagram page Sunday evening that he has verbally committed to DePaul, supposedly to play alongside Chicago eighth grade star Amari Bailey who committed to the Blue Demons in August. The two have played together at MSHTV elite camp.

“I want to announce that I verbally commit to DePaul University,” Clark wrote in a post on his Instagram page. “It has always been a dream for me and Amari Bailey to play college ball together. I’m from the Midwest (Minnesota) and cold weather is in my blood.

We’re starting our own trend, fab 5 in the making.”

The latest rankings from Future150.com have the 5-foot-11-inch guard ranked No. 4 in the class of 2022, while Coast2CoastPreps.com had him rated eighth in their latest rankings that came out prior to the 2016-2017

basketball season.

Clark joins 6-foot-2-inch 2022 guard Bailey, while the university offered top class of 2022 player Emoni Bates a scholarship in September. Bailey trained under current DePaul assistant coach Tim Anderson as a member of the MeanStreets AAU team.

Verbal commitments are non-binding. Players can’t officially sign with universities until their junior year of high school, so we will be waiting a while to know for sure if either player ends up in Lincoln Park.

Oct. 9

With four forwards and one center scheduled to graduate after this season, the DePaul men’s basketball program will need fresh bodies to man the frontcourt in 2018.

A verbal commitment tonight from Ukrainianborn power forward George Maslennikov will help ease the issue. The class of 2018 two-star recruit announced his decision to become a Blue Demon in a screenshotted message on his Twitter account.

“First of all I want to thank my family that gave me a chance to play basketball in U.S. and supporting my every

year since I was born,” Maslennikov wrote on Twitter. “I want to thank all of my high school coaches that helped me to get better through all of these years, especially I want to thank Coach G that helped me to come here and become a better player and a person. Going to my senior year God blessed me by giving me opportunity to earn offers from certain colleges and gave me a chance to decide where I want to go. I want to thank everyone who supported and still supporting me. I want to thank every coach who recruited me and came to watch my games/ workouts. And last but not least I want to thank my teammates who were like my second family all of those years. I made my decision and I’m happy to announce my commitment to DePaul University.”

The 6-foot-9-inch power forward played for the Atlanta Express which is an Under Armour sponsored travel team based in Atlanta, Georgia. He goes to school at Holy Spirit Preparatory School in Atlanta and helped the school capture its first state championship in basketball in March.

If Maslennikov stays true to his verbal commitment, he will join current freshmen Paul Reed and Jaylen Butz in the Blue Demons 2018 frontcourt.

Women's soccer battles Butler to draw on senior day

DePaul honored its seniors against Butler, who they played to a 1-1 draw. The game was reschedule for Sunday at noon after the rain on Saturday.

By Andrew Hattersly Contributing Writer

After having senior day postponed one day because of weather, 90 minutes was still not enough to settle it in a tough conference matchup between DePaul and Butler. The Blue Demons outshot the Bulldogs 20 to 10, however, neither side was able to push across the winning goal.

Both teams settled for a 1-1 tie at Wish Field Sunday afternoon.

“I thought we had a good attacking energy, our thought our team was pretty disciplined defensively,” head coach Erin Chastain said. “I thought each team had a couple really good looks, we hit the crossbar earlier, they hit a post, we both dodged some bullets, but I thought it was nice to see our team step up in overtime I thought we had most of the play and most of the chances.”

It didn’t take long for Butler to open the scoring with a through ball from Kyra

Cooke to Caitlyn DiSarcina who rolled it just out of the reach of DePaul senior goalie Lauren Frasca just under three minutes into the game.

Midway through the first half, junior Franny Cerny tied the game at one after she intercepted a clearance attempted from Butler and fired it into the lower right hand corner for her eighth goal of the season.

The goal was important for a side that has struggled to comeback at times this season.

“It was definitely very important.

We’ve struggled to come back after we’ve been down this season...if we lose we lose with a shutout so that was really really big for the whole team to not get down and come back with the goal,” Cerny said.

DePaul had a couple more opportunities to jump on top late in the first half, but couldn’t convert. The Blue Demons finished with five shots in the opening half.

DePaul continued to be on the attack in the second half with freshman Jade

Ericksen-Russo, a second half substitute, creating multiple opportunities, but none were able to get past Butler goalie Leonie Doege, who was solid after also entering as a substitute in the second half.

“I thought she brought a real nice physical presence to the game and so I think that’s why we left her in,” Chastain said. “She really was a physical presence which we needed up there at the time.”

In overtime, DePaul continued to have a couple of good goal scoring opportunities, the best of those being a shot from Cerny who’s shot deflected off the crossbar.

“I thought it was going in I saw it dipping, dipping and then just barely hit the crossbar,” Cerny said.

Earning a point against one of the best teams in the conference in Butler was a huge positive, but they know there is still work to be done to finish in the top six in the conference and extend the season for their seniors. The junior forward noted the

goal right now is to extend the season as long as possible for those seniors.

“We wanted to play as best we can for them so we could play as long as we can with them because every game now matters and the better we can do now the longer we can prolong our season,” Cerny said.

Prior to the game, seven DePaul seniors were honored along with their parents. For senior Alexa Ben, the opportunity to walk out with her parents was an opportunity to reflect on what they’ve been through the last four years.

“It was good our parents have been through everything with us, they’ve been through every step of the journey with us,” Ben said. “Walking out with them made me realize just how much they do for me and how their support has carried me through the years even through the tough times and the good times.”

DePaul now heads on the road to battle Providence Thursday evening.

OPEN SEASON DePaul hosts open house to show off a completed Wintrust Arena

By Garret Neal & Paul Steeno Asst. Sports Editor & Staff Writer

Sheets of rain fell out of the sky without end, but the spirits of the Blue Demon faithful were not dampened as they waited for the first public event at Wintrust Arena since completion. On Saturday DePaul held a free event to show off the new home of DePaul Basketball. The day was highlighted by rare public practices from the men’s and women’s team, but added autograph sessions, tours of the arena and a ribbon cutting ceremony to commemorate the opening. Doors opened at 10:30 a.m., just before the women took the floor.

When scrimmages Mart’e Greys, Amarah Coleman, Kelly Campbell, Tanita Allen and Ashton Millender where the first

five sent out, though don’t get too carried away as head coach Doug Bruno pointed out afterword’s that he has yet to settle on a starting lineup.

“I think we have eight solid players who have separated themselves at the outset of the season...I don’t have any idea who’s going to start or anything like that,” Bruno said.

The Demons are benefitting from two contributors coming back after missing all of last season with injuries. Millender had a stress injury in the ninth game of last season while Greys tore her Achilles and missed the whole year. Greys loved watching her team succed last year, but is ready to be back. “(Last year) was tough,” Greys said.

Tyger Cambell spotted at Wintrust

By Paul Steeno Staff Writer

When Wintrust arena opened it’s doors on Saturday, two four star recruits, Tyger Campbell and Bryan Penn Johnson, were in attendance.

The first notable recruit in attendance at the scrimmage Saturday is probably the one more familiar to DePaul fans. Four-star La Lumiere point guard Tyger Campbell committed to play basketball for the Blue Demons in May, but the commitment didn’t last long. Campbell announced via Twitter in early September that he would reopen his recruitment.

In an interview, Campbell didn’t

expand on why he had reopened his recruitment, merely saying that it was a “family decision.”

Regardless, Campbell seemed very comfortable in a DePaul basketball setting on Saturday. He chatted it up with former high school teammate Brandon Cyrus after the game and seemed to know a lot of different people in the crowd as well.

There are five current Blue Demon players who attended La Lumiere High School and assistant coach Shane Heirman was the head coach at La Lumiere for three seasons before he joined the Blue Demon

Men’s soccer reflects as senior day approaches

By Garret Neal Asst. Sports Editor

The end of the men’s soccer season is fast approaching, bringing a moment of reflection on the past year. For the seven seniors, this moment is of paramount importance.

The past five years have been especially significant for the program. The 2013-14 season saw the Demons going 5-11-2 with just one in conference win. This game gives credence to the saying, “every game counts.”

The game might have been meaningless for the standings, but it became a defining moment for Quentin Low. Low spent his freshman season as the third string goalie behind Philip Huang and Eric Sorby. During the week heading into the final game of the season, Huang suffered a concussion during practice, bumping Low up a spot.

The Demons, who had no conference wins, prepared to take on a tenth-ranked Marquette team on a day that would honor seven seniors, including Sorby. Eight minutes into the game, Sorby broke his finger and Low was sent on.

On senior day against a tough opponent, a moment that

The seven men’s senior will be honored before the game against St. John’s on Oct. 21.
