DeKALB | Senior wide receiver Aregeros Turner returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown, and the Huskies never looked back in a 44-7 victory over University at Buffalo in the 110th homecoming game at Huskie Stadium. “I saw the hole open, and I knew it was a touchdown from the beginning,” Turner said at Saturday’s postgame press conference. “It felt good to finally run one back.” The win marked NIU’s first home victory of the season and the 10th consecutive win against Buffalo. Saturday’s victory moved the Huskies overall homecoming record to 70-30-10, including a 36-14-2 record at Huskie Stadium. Redshirt senior quarterback Anthony Maddie accounted for five total touchdowns including four rushing touchdowns. Maddie became the first NIU quarterback to rush for four touchdowns in a game since Nov. 2, 2013, when former NIU quarterback Jordan Aregeros Turner Lynch rushed Senior wide in four against receiver the University of Massachusetts. “Any time I can get mentioned in the same name as Jordan [is] awesome,” Maddie said at Saturday’s press conference. Maddie had rushing touchdowns of 15, 16 and three yards — all in the second quarter. He added his fourth

Students seek other candidates Clarissa Hinshaw Staff writer
DeKALB | Students are considering third-party options for presidency because of their dislike for the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates. Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson is conservative in economic policy and with the constitution. However, he is liberal on most social issues including abortion and marijuana legalization, according to his website.
“
I think [students are looking at third parties more] because negatives are so high for both Clinton and Trump.” Matthew Streb Political Science Department Chair
Independent presidential candidate Jill Stein is progressive and holds values similar to former Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders including abolishing student loan debt and expanding women’s rights, according to her website. Senior psychology major Jessica Jimenez said she may vote for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to keep Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump out of office but prefers not to vote for Clinton. “[There are] quite a few [third party candidates] that I prefer over Clinton,” said Jimenez. “It’s always been an easy choice, but now it’s very difficult.” Jimenez said she will not vote for Trump because she is a Mexican-American woman. She thinks Trump’s views on women and immigrants are too harsh and said she would fear for her future if he became president. “I think [students are looking at third parties more] because negatives are so high for both Clinton and Trump, and there’s so many people who like neither candidate,” said Matthew Streb, Political Science Department chair.
