DEBATE CONTINUES Plans to move Campus Inclusion and Community offices to the Black House and the Multicultural Center remain postponed following the negative response these changes received this summer.

Black House forums planned By MARIANA ALFARO

daily senior staffer @marianaa_alfaro

All plans to move Campus Inclusion and Community offices to the Black House and the Multicultural Center are still postponed following the negative response the proposed changes received during the summer. No changes have been made since administrators suggested the relocation during the summer, said Multicultural Student Affairs director Charles Kellom. In August, administrators announced the University would move some administrative offices into the Black House and the Multicultural Center through a message to the MSA email list, prompting negative feedback from Northwestern students and alumni. The changes would have affected meeting spaces for multiple student groups, including

For Members Only, Alianza, Asian Pacific American Coalition and Muslim-cultural Students Association. Two days after the email was sent, administrators postponed all plans to move CIC offices. The Black House and the Multicultural Center have functioned normally during the first weeks of Fall Quarter. However, the issue regarding the future of these spaces remains. Different campus offices, including CIC and MSA, announced dates Monday through their social media accounts for a series of listening sessions, where students, alumni and faculty will be able to discuss and ask questions about the proposed changes. The first two of four these sessions will be held Oct. 14 at Parkes Hall, with the following two to be held Nov. 16 and Nov. 20 in Norris University Center and Scott Hall, respectively. They will all be moderated by Jamie Washington, president and founder of The Washington

Sen. Durbin calls for cheaper textbooks By ROBIN OPSAHL

the daily northwestern @robinlopsahl

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) introduced a bill to Congress on Thursday that would allow students free access to the most commonly used textbooks in an attempt to combat rising college costs. The legislation would create a grant program for colleges and professors to create and use “open” college textbooks, which would be available under an open license to allow free access to the materials. “Textbook costs are one of the most overlooked obstacles to college affordability,” Durbin said Thursday during a conference call with media. “(This act) will save students hundreds of dollars and put pressure on traditional college textbook markets to open up and be affordable.” The average student budget for college books and supplies during the

2014-2015 academic year was about $1,225 according to the College Board. This cost is nearly 14 percent of the total cost for students going to a four-year university, said U.S. Sen. Al Franken (D-Minnesota), during the call. For low-income and non-traditional students, this makes college even less accessible than it already is, Franken said. “If you’re going to community college, textbook costs could be over 40 percent of your overall cost for going to college,” he said, “If you’re already struggling to afford college, it’s a serious barrier.” Franken introduced the bill along with Durbin and U.S. Sen. Angus King (I-Maine). Franken said the cost is substantial for everyone attending college, no matter their socioeconomic level, and private colleges would also be able to apply for the federal grants outlined by the bill. The legislation has the potential to » See TEXTBOOKS, page 10

NU remains silent on Bill Cosby’s honors from 1997

As colleges and universities around the country decide whether to revoke Bill Cosby’s honorary degrees due to numerous sexual assault allegations against him, Northwestern’s decision on the issue remains unclear. Cosby, who as of September 2015 has been accused of sexual assault by more than 50 women, received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from NU in 1997, according to an article from that year in The Daily. Cosby also delivered the commencement speech at NU that year. Many institutions recognized Cosby for his success in the entertainment business, awarding him honorary degrees in categories including education, law and public service. Since the allegations against Cosby came to light, colleges and universities have taken different approaches to his case — some schools took no action, some have revoked his honorary degrees and others are debating what to do.

Students focused on the effect of Northwestern academics on mental health during a forum on the undergraduate academic experience Thursday, offering criticisms to faculty tasked with proposing reforms for the current system. More than 25 students attended the event, designed for task force members to hear undergraduates’ views on their academic experience. “We really want to hear as much as we can,” said neurobiology Prof. Indira Raman, who chairs the task force. “All these things will influence our next set of conversations.” Students spoke for most of the forum as task force members sat on stage taking notes. Much of the meeting focused on students’ academic workload, its effects on their mental wellness and

critiques of Counseling and Psychological Services. Reducing students’ academic workload was a common suggestion throughout the forum. “When we compare ourselves to our peer institutions on the quarter system, our workload sticks out as one of the hardest,” Weinberg junior Isaac Rappoport said. “We need to make it so that three classes is the norm at Northwestern.” Associated Student Government released a report in March calling on Weinberg to lower the number of credits needed to graduate from 45 to 42. Weinberg junior Joji Syed said NU prides itself on grooming wellrounded students, but the stress of doing it all can sometimes be too much. “I don’t think (professors) respect the fact that we have a lot of other things going on, whether it’s our » See ACADEMICS, page 10

STUDENTS SHARE Neurobiology Prof. Indira Raman listens to a student’s comment during a forum on undergrads’ academic experience Thursday.

University spokesman Al Cubbage declined to comment. Yale University took no action regarding Cosby’s honors despite an online petition signed by about 200 members of the Yale community asking the university’s president to rescind the honors Cosby received in 2003. Yale has never revoked an honorary degree, according to the Yale Daily News. In the last two weeks alone, Fordham University, Marquette University and Brown University revoked the honors Cosby received at the respective institutions, according to The New York Times. Some schools, including Ohio State University, John Jay College of Criminal Justice and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, are still deciding what to do. A proposal to rescind Cosby’s honorary degree at John Jay is currently under consideration, according to The New York Times. Communication junior Amanda Odasz, communications chair of Sexual Health and Assault Peer Educators, said the organization did not have an opportunity to discuss Bill Cosby in its meetings. However, Odasz said she personally believes NU should not be supportive of

Cosby, particularly because the University has taken steps to push messages about trying to prevent rape on campus. “It doesn’t make sense that Northwestern should support Bill Cosby in any way, including him having an honorary degree from the University,” Odasz said. — Peter Kotecki

Photographer captures Cuban culture in new show By JULIA DORAN

the daily northwestern @_juliadoran

Evanston-based photographer Jerry Alt, who has traveled the world capturing natural landscapes and its inhabitants, will unveil Sunday a photo collection from his trip to Cuba. The collection, titled “Forgotten Cuba,” will be housed at the Civic Center and features about 50 images of the people, environment and culture of Cuba as it exists today following decades of estrangement from the U.S., Alt said. Along with a small group of professional photographers, Alt said he strove to capture authentic images of the country by engaging with locals and traveling to areas not generally visited by tourists. Alt told The Daily there was a sense of vitality in the country and that the people with whom he interacted were friendly and welcoming, taking interest in him and his group. “I’m hoping that as people get an opportunity to see these photos they will recognize that there is a vibrant culture there and that Cuba is a viable destination for travel,” he said. Alt said he predicts the recent restoration of relations between Cuba and the United States will quickly alter the unique culture that he was able to experience during his stay. Because of that, he said he wants to impart a sense of urgency on those who wish to visit the country. The absence of a diplomatic relationship between

Police Blotter Woman charged with DUI after minor car accident

A 45-year-old woman was arrested Wednesday afternoon after she was involved in a car accident while driving under the influence of alcohol. The woman sideswiped another vehicle with the passenger’s side of her car but had no recollection of the incident when confronted by police, said Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan. Police arrived

Cuba and the United States has resulted in a lack of knowledge about Cuban life in this country, said Jennifer Lasik, Evanston’s cultural arts coordinator. The powerful and eclectic nature of Alt’s photography offers a rare and intimate look at the country that has long been a subject of natural curiosity for many Americans, Lasik said. “Jerry’s work will really show the depth and the breath of the Cuban culture,” she said. “He is not monolithic in his approach. You will see the liveliness of the culture, the Cuban color for life and food, and you’ll also see some of the harshness of life and the toll it takes.” Now a seasoned professional, Alt said his passion for photography was born at age 10 when he began saving up money to afford film for his first black-andwhite camera. As he pursued his interest through high school and college, his appreciation for the craft grew, he said. After receiving praise from friends for photos taken during his trip to Australia in 2009, Alt said he decided to train with a professional photographer to hone his natural skills. Although travel and nature photography have become some of his main focuses, Alt also owns Bordeaux Studio, an Evanston business that specializes in commercial and lifestyle photography. Annette Patko, the principal photographer at Bordeaux Studio, has worked with Alt for three years. Patko said their different skill sets complement each other well. “It’s a good balance as a business partnership, and I think we encourage and inspire each other to always at the scene of the accident in the 1200 block of Chicago Avenue at about 1 p.m. and conducted a field sobriety test, which the woman failed. Police found an open bottle of alcohol in the woman’s car, Dugan said. The woman and the other driver were not injured, but police called an ambulance to transport the woman to Evanston Hospital to be examined for possible head injuries and intoxication, he said. The woman was charged with a misdemeanor for driving under the influence and received three

Alt spends his free time teaching amateur photographers in classes and workshops. He is also on the board of directors of the Chicago Photographic

ASG calls for investment committee

The Daily Northwestern

By SHANE MCKEON

eic@dailynorthwestern.com

daily senior staffer @Shane_McKeon

Associated Student Government continues its push for socially responsible investing, drafting a charter for a proposed committee that would oversee how Northwestern handles its endowment. ASG President Noah Star said reforming the University’s investment practices will remain a priority even as former speaker Noah Whinston, who helped push Northwestern Divest’s resolution through Senate last February, prepares to leave campus to take a job in Los Angeles. Star said he will work with Will McLean, the University’s chief investment officer, in the coming weeks to finalize the charter. McLean, who heads NU’s investment office, said in April that he is open to the possibility of such a committee. “There’s an argument for having a central place where some of these (investment issues) get vetted,” McLean said in April. “We’re interested in hearing student voices, and maybe a committee is a better way to do it.” Star said the committee’s power will depend on where it is located institutionally. Optimally, he said, the committee would operate underneath the Board of Trustees, which would give committee members the fullest access to information about investments. The committee could also exist within the President’s Office or ASG itself, Star said, but that would limit its ability to oversee how the University’s investment staff handles the $9.7 billion endowment. “When it comes to who we want to be talking to on campus,” Whinston told The Daily, “Morty’s great, but the Board of Trustees is better.” In February, NUDivest introduced a resolution to Senate that asked the University to divest from six corporations the authors

say violate Palestinian human rights. More broadly, the resolution also called on ASG to “work to achieve greater transparency in university investments.” After a heated fivehour debate, the resolution narrowly passed Senate on Feb. 19. Whinston, who would have been a Weinberg senior this fall, told senators on Wednesday he dropped out of NU to take a job in Los Angeles, vacating his position as speaker in the process. As in the nation’s capital, the speaker’s unexpected departure will launch a wide-open race to succeed him. Star said the body will elect a new speaker at its meeting Oct. 21.

Weinberg senior Matt Clarkston, who served as parliamentarian during Whinston’s tenure, will preside over Senate until a permanent speaker is elected. Clarkston may serve after that, too. “I plan on running,” he told The Daily. As for Whinston, he will take a job as the CEO of Immortals LLC, a professional gaming franchise funded by venture capitalists that he helped line up.

We need to take responsibility for the pervasive gun violence in America EDMUND BANNISTER DAILY COLUMNIST

One of the most compelling dilemmas in modern ethics posits a situation in which a train is barreling toward a group of five people on the track. In front of them is a switch which, if it is pulled, diverts the train to another track where a single person is standing. The dilemma asks the question: would you pull the switch? In a study, 68 percent of philosophers polled about the “Trolley Problem” said they would. For my part, I believe inaction in such a situation is akin to murder, and that taking responsibility by saving five lives is not only moral, but courageous as well. Regrettably, the United States seems to continually opt for the path of inaction in situations where tough decisions are essential. Jeb Bush’s evasive statement that “stuff happens,” in response to the Oregon shooting is an example of the cowardly attitude that has infected the American political system in recent years. His words weren’t just callous toward the victims in Oregon and countless others impacted by gun violence across the country; they were also idiotic and untrue. “Stuff happens” for a reason, and confronting

those reasons is the first and only logical step in preventing tragedies, like the one in Oregon, from reoccurring. Gun control necessitates that some responsible citizens will no longer have access to firearms, but such control will, in the long term, save the lives of thousands. It is time for the citizens of the United States to make the decision on guns that our politicians seem incapable of making. It is time for us to pull the switch. Anyone who remains doubtful of the impact gun control can have on a country need only look to the numerous nations that have virtually eliminated gun violence through smart legislation. In 1996, a gunman in Port Arthur, Australia killed 35 people in one of the largest mass murder incidents in history. Like the shooter in Oregon, he was troubled, and like the shooter in Oregon, he used legally acquired weapons to commit the crime. In response, the Australian government banned private ownership of several types of firearms, introduced a uniform system of gun licensing across the country and started a gun-buyback program that took more than 640,000 guns out of circulation. The Australian parliament passed the bill with bipartisan support and gun control advocates hailed it as a transformative victory. Since then, mass shootings have not recurred and firearm death rates have dropped in Australia to a tiny 1.4 deaths per 1,000,000 people.

That compares to a death rate of 29.7 deaths per 1,000,000 citizens in the United States. In other words, Americans die from guns at around 21 times the rate for Australians. In most developed countries where gun use is banned or severely restricted, murder rates due to guns are similarly low. In the United Kingdom the rate is 2.6 people per 1,000,000. In Japan, an industrialized country with a population of around 130 million people, the rate has dropped to zero deaths per 1,000,000, with only two people dying each year. The argument that unrestricted access to firearms is a sacred and unassailable right is a myth, crafted and disseminated by right-wing advocacy groups like the National Rifle Association, and politicians like Mr. Bush. The Second Amendment guarantees the right of a “well organized militia” to keep and bear arms, not just anyone, and it says nothing about what arms can be used or where they can be carried. The idea that individual citizens have the right to carry weapons at all was only established in 2008 in the case District of Columbia v. Heller by a predominantly conservative bench. What international statistics on gun violence consistently show is that when developed, democratic countries like the United States restrict the sale and/or use of firearms, gun violence can be virtually eliminated. What form these restrictions should take is a good question and one that

should be debated thoroughly. Outrageously, Republicans and many Democrats have failed to push for a debate of this nature, either due to the pervasive lobbying of the NRA or simply because of apathy. As residents of the Greater Chicago Area, Northwestern students are more aware than most of the damage this apathy can do. In 2014, around 400 Chicago residents were killed in 2,500 collective shootings. By treating gun deaths as unavoidable tragedies rather than preventable ones, politicians and regular people alike are deciding to allow shootings to continue. In the “Trolley Problem,” they are electing to avoid tough choices and let more people die. It is time for NU students, professors and alumni to take the moral high ground, reject the status quo and demand change from our political leadership on a local, state and federal level. By doing so, we can finally take responsibility for the lives of our fellow citizens and move towards a safer future. Edmund Bannister is a Weinberg freshman.

Studying abroad in France shines new light on American gun culture TINA TANG

DAILY COLUMNIST

I was talking to my friends when I tried to open the library doors, so I didn’t notice that they weren’t budging. It wasn’t until my second try that I realized the exit to the library wouldn’t open. On the third try, I heard a French voice behind me say, “you can’t leave, there has been an attack.” In the seconds that followed, my mind raced to the worst possibilities. Is there a shooter in the building? Is anybody hurt? “There was a bomb,” said another Parisian student. My friends and I looked to each other in horror and panic. How have we not heard anything? Were the authorities informed? And most importantly, why aren’t these French students more worried? As I tried to look through the glass window on the door into the main hall, I saw security guards standing around. “It was a paint bomb,” the French students said, “they’re cleaning up the hall so you can’t leave through that door; you have to exit to the street.” It turned out there was a man who walked in and started throwing paint bombs in the lobby of

the main building, and we couldn’t leave through the main door because security and the custodian crew were cleaning up. I wasn’t sure if the words “attack” and “bomb” have different connotations in French, or if their intentions were lost in translation, but the French students didn’t seem to have thought twice about using those terms. To them, the word “attack”, especially used in a school setting, doesn’t seem to imply an active shooter on campus. To them, school shootings are rare and unthinkable; in the past 20 years, there has only been one school shooting in France, whereas this year alone in the United States, there have been at least 20 cases of school-related gun violence. Both the United States and France are industrialized democracies, so what is causing this large disparity in gun violence? While firearm possession is heavily regulated in France, the actual process of attaining a gun does not seem all that different from that of the United States. Both the U.S. and France require guns to be registered, and anybody who wishes to buy a gun must go through a background check. What seems to be different is the power America gives its guns through the Second Amendment. Unlike the United States, France does not grant its citizens the right to bear arms through

its constitution. Even if it did, the post-WWII French constitution would probably hold less cultural and political significance than the American constitution. The difference in political culture between the two countries also marks the difference in gun violence. “Why do Americans need all their guns?” a French student asked me the other day, “don’t you have the police to protect you?” In France, there is generally more trust in the government and its ability to protect its citizens, whereas in America, despite having the third largest police force in the world and the biggest military, people cite self-protection as one of the biggest reasons for needing a gun. During a lecture by a French professor of public health, he noted the different things Europeans and Americans view as their fundamental rights. “Europeans believe that affordable healthcare is a fundamental right, and Americans believe carrying guns is a fundamental right,” he said. After mentioning that the right to bear arms is cheaper to the government than providing universal health care, my professor added, “Well I suppose there is a cost to bear arms, you do need people to clean up all that blood after all.” To many people outside of the United States, the need to carry guns is incomprehensible and

Redefinition needed in U.S. party politics GRANT PAPASTEFAN DAILY COLUMNIST

If you ask a Republican what they stand for, they’ll probably tell you something like: “limited government, states’ rights and opportunity for hardworking Americans to improve their socioeconomic conditions.” If you ask a Democrat what they stand for, you’ll likely hear something like: “an even playing field, support for those less fortunate and environmental sustainability.” In theory, both of these ideological stances are valid and do not have to be mutually exclusive. The problem with our political system and the reason our political arena has become so tense and stratified is not because our parties differ ideologically, but because they put immense effort into defining themselves — and defining each other — in very inaccurate ways. Until we stop misidentifying what we stand for and start holding our politicians accountable for doing the same, there will be no ease to the political tensions that have rendered our government effectively useless. Last week, at the first College Republicans meeting of the year, everyone was asked to share why they are a Republican. Nearly everyone in the room

said some variation of “I believe in free markets and limited government.” There’s a lot of merit behind free markets and limited government, but they are not “Republican” values. Many Republicans who say they support these things will defend our wars in the Middle East, cite religious freedom as a reason for their opposition to the Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage or oppose the ruling because they believe it’s a state-by-state issue. If you say you’re a Republican because you support limited government, how could you also say it is the government’s right to define who is allowed to get married, gay, straight or otherwise? How could a person who wants to reduce the size and scope of our government support expanding our national defense when it accounts for more than one-fifth of our massive annual budget? There are many reasons to support a strong national defense, but support for limited government is one of the only justifications that directly conflicts with it. On the opposite end of the spectrum, you may hear a Democrat say they support equal opportunity, fair taxes and aid for the less fortunate. These are all beautiful ideas, but, to bring it back to the Middle East, how can someone in favor of promoting human rights and equal opportunity condemn U.S. military involvement in the Middle East against radical groups like ISIS, which promotes sex slavery and rape? Well, that’s easy: Like the Republican party, the Democratic party doesn’t stand for equal

rights and opportunities; they just stand for what they believe in, which is often just what wins elections. In some cases that is equal opportunity, but in other cases it fails to address human rights altogether. Obviously Democrats don’t think it is OK for thousands of peaceful men, women and children to be grossly mistreated, but with politicians avoiding the true issues and instead focusing on partisan rhetoric to entice voters, and voters blindingly submitting to political hate, conversations about important topics like this are at first avoided, and then forgotten altogether. It is beyond time for us to reconsider our political system. In a world where just 40 percent of registered voters (22 percent for unregistered) know which party holds the House majority, elections are increasingly determined by which candidate can make their opponent seem more evil, and that’s the evil in and of itself. The future of our nation is not a question of Republican or Democrat, but rather of gridlock or change. For politicians and voters alike, it’s time to redefine or realign.

unnecessary. As an international student, I will never understand this uniquely American obsession with guns, but I recognize that the right to bear arms is central to the founding of America. However, America also experiences mass shootings at a rate that is unparalleled by any other industrialized democracy in the world. Is it worth the thousands of lives stripped of the world each year just to protect an outdated amendment? Furthermore, much of gun-related violence is perpetrated by those who went through all the legal channels to obtain their firearms, including the shooter at the Umpqua Community College in Oregon, suggesting that this is maybe not an issue with the laws regarding the obtainment of firearms, but rather an issue with the culture of firearms itself. America must re-evaluate its priorities: One sentence written in a 226 year old document, or the thousands of lives lost to gun violence each year. Tina Tang is a Weinberg junior.

Rainbow Alliance holds candlelight vigil event Students share coming out stories By MARIANA ALFARO

daily senior staffer @marianaa_alfaro

Despite having to move indoors due to rain, Rainbow Alliance, an LGBT student interest group, held a candlelight vigil Thursday night as part of its annual Rainbow Week. The vigil, originally intended to be held by the Rock, was moved to Harris Hall. About 10 students participated in the commemoration of National Coming Out Day, which will occur on Sunday. During the vigil, students shared their coming out stories and talked about their experiences of being queer at Northwestern. They also read the names of trans women who lost their lives due to hate crimes this year. Though no candles were lit, the event maintained a solemn atmosphere in remembrance of those whose coming out experiences were not easy, holding a moment of silence in honor of them. Medill senior Bo Suh, co-president of Rainbow Alliance, said the group chose to host the vigil near the end of the week because, compared to the other events Rainbow Alliance held this week, the vigil dealt with a more somber topic in a less social atmosphere. “We wanted to have the events at the beginning of the week to be more social and to be more engaging … so that the new members can feel more comfortable with us so that later in the week they can feel more comfortable to share their stories,” Suh said. Weinberg sophomore Yamari Lewis, a member of Rainbow Alliance’s programming committee, said she was happy with the event not only because of its turnout but because many participants were willing to share their stories. Suh said this year’s Rainbow Week events have been well-received by first-year students. “Rainbow Week generally has a pretty good

turnout because it’s the first main thing that we do in the year because Coming Out Day is usually in early October,” he said. “I definitely think that a lot of freshmen are very excited to join a queer and trans community because not everyone comes from a very liberal area or high school that had any similar sort of organizations.” A recurring theme during the vigil was stu-

dents tending to feel more comfortable with their different identities at NU than they did back home. “Northwestern specifically, I think, has a really decent sense of community that I haven’t seen in a lot of other colleges that I’ve visited as well as like family and friends go to,” Lewis said. “Just to give that space where … there’s still plenty of people here but you still feel like there’s at least an intimate space or at least an intimate feel.” Rainbow’s publicity chair Sylvia Regan said certain NU resources allow students to feel comfortable with their own identities, using the diversity and inclusion Essential NU hosted by Jamie Washington during Wildcat Welcome as an example. “You very quickly learn that this is a place where you can be proud of different parts of your identity that, whether it’s an ethnic identity or a sexual identity, that it’s okay to talk about it and to do things based on that,” she said. alfaro@u.northwestern.edu

Northwestern Wildcats vs. Michigan Wolverines

MICHIGAN

When coach Pat Fitzgerald visited Matt Frazier in the hospital this summer, the senior offensive lineman was trapped in his own thoughts. Frazier was hospitalized for 10 days over the summer after a pelvic infection went septic. This was after offseason surgeries on both his right and left ankles, emergency surgery on his spine and a tear in his left pectoral muscle — all since January. “When he left, I kind of started thinking, ‘I just hope I get the opportunity to play for this man again, play for this university,’” Frazier said. That opportunity arrived Saturday. The Wildcats were backed up on their own 16-yard line against Minnesota, hoping to capitalize on a 4-0 opening to the season and starting off an eventual 27-0 shutout against the Golden Gophers. During that first play, Frazier set up across from Minnesota’s Steven Richardson. At the snap, Frazier scrambled past Richardson to block inside linebacker Cody Poock. He missed, yielding to the turf beneath him. Still, offensive line coach Adam Cushing remembers Frazier’s first play Saturday as his most important of the game. “He had several really, really good blocks (during the game), but nobody notices that kind of stuff for an offensive lineman,” Cushing said. “What you did notice was how he affected the group, just his attitude.” This was his first play of the season, a departure from last year when the 6-foot-4-inch, 295-pound Bourbonnais, Illinois, native started all 12 games. Until this season, Frazier had started every game since the Nov. 2, 2013 matchup at Nebraska. Fitzgerald called Frazier’s return “emotional.” “He’s a leader,” he said. “I’m just incredibly inspired and happy for Matt.” Senior backup quarterback Zack Oliver echoed that admiration. Oliver, who has been Frazier’s roommate for the past two years, visited him several times in the hospital. Many of those times, Frazier wasn’t even awake, Oliver said. “Just whenever he would wake up and just see a friend there or see his family there, I think that helped him push through it ju s t that much more,” he said. Oliver and Frazier have been close friends since freshman year, when they lived in the same dorm.

Frazier is a guy who’s there for you, Oliver said. And that extends to the field — the left guard has stepped up vocally and can build up trust in the offense, especially with senior lineman Geoff Mogus currently struggling with injuries, Oliver said. Cushing, who recruited Frazier out of high school, said Frazier has surpassed expectations as far as getting himself back on the field. Cushing said Frazier’s rehabilitation process came with daily hard work. After Cushing saw him in the hospital after days of not eating, the assistant coach said Frazier was adamant about his nutrition regimen. Frazier tends to be hard on himself and has high standards on the field, in class and in the weight room, Cushing said. Frazier’s attitude, which Cushing calls “infectious,” was missed on the field. “We kind of took that for granted not having him in there just as a leader,” senior superback Dan Vitale said after Saturday’s game. “It’s great to have him back.” Before the game, Frazier brought the rest of the position group in and gave a speech that brought junior offensive lineman Eric Olson to tears, Olson said. The talk centered on Frazier’s hope while he was in the hospital that he would play again. “He wanted to come back and play for his school, he wanted to come back and play for Coach Fitz. But what really mattered to him the most was coming back and playing for all of us, all the o-lineman, all his best friends,” Olson said. “I was crying 10 minutes before I ran out of the tunnel.” After Saturday’s game, Fitzgerald said Frazier would probably take the press conference seat and say that he didn’t play well during Saturday’s game. That’s exactly what happened. Frazier said being able to play last week was a great feeling, but that he can’t be emotional this week. Against a strong defensive line in the Michigan Wolverines, Frazier said he’s looking to improve. “I hope I can continue to inspire some people, but I have to start performing now up to my capabilities,” he said. “But it feels good. It feels good to be back and get going again.”

What happens when an immovable object meets another immovable object? Northwestern and Michigan fans will find out Saturday in a game that may surpass the offensive futility of last year’s infamous #M00N bowl. The No. 13 Wildcats (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten) sport the best scoring defense in the nation, allowing a miniscule 7 points per game, and the No. 18 Wolverines (4-1, 1-0) are right behind them, yielding 7.6 points per game. NU has just shutout Minnesota, and Michigan comes into the game having blanked BYU and Maryland in consecutive weekends. The betting line opened with the Wolverines favored by 12, though it’s far from clear if 12 points total will be scored. “All around, this will be the best team we’ve played,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “They have 10 returning starters on defense.” And on the opposing side, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh has been just as complimentary. “They play with great effort, great discipline, they have a tremendous scheme,” Harbaugh said. “(NU defensive coordinator) Mike Hankwitz does a great job.” The Wolverines’ defense isn’t so different from the Cats’, relying on strong play up front as an anchor. Fitzgerald praised the Michigan defensive line for terrorizing NU’s backfield last season, sacking quarterback Trevor Siemian five times and holding the ground game to -9 — yes, that’s a negative — yards. Most of that group returned for 2015. Michigan has gotten to opposing quarterbacks 11 times this season, led by defensive tackle Maurice Hurst’s three sacks, and the line is still just as effective against the run, ranking fifth nationally with 71.4 yards allowed per game. After allowing just one sack to Minnesota a week ago, NU’s offensive line will face a much stiffer challenge. “It’s the best d-line we’re going to see this year,” senior guard Matt Frazier said. “We have to get after them.” The return of veteran Frazier, who missed the first four games of the year with a staph infection, is a big step in the right direction, and the catalyst for the Cats’ line play against the Golden Gophers may have been the shuffling of positions that Frazier’s presence enabled. This week’s depth chart features redshirt freshman Blake Hance at left tackle, Frazier at left guard, junior Ian Park at center, senior Shane Mertz at right guard and junior Eric Olson at right tackle. It’s a significant departure from the opening week lineup of senior Geoff Mogus, Park, sophomore Brad North, Mertz and Olson. The offensive line will have to be at its best to ensure success, but the entire offense seems confident going up against a stingy defense. “In the Ball State game, third quarter, we saw what could happen when we follow our game plan,” senior superback Dan Vitale said. “If we execute consistently and just follow our game plan, a lot of good things will happen for us.” And Fitzgerald expressed no qualms over his redshirt freshman quarterback playing in a hostile environment, saying he’ll simply tell Clayton Thorson to “take care of the football and do his job.” On the opposite sideline, Harbaugh seems most worried about NU’s one-man wrecking crew: sophomore linebacker Anthony Walker. The coach called Walker one of the best players his team has faced, and lauded the speed that Walker and many others on the Cats’ defense possess. “This team reacts and flows to the ball as well as

you’re going to see in college football,” Harbaugh said Monday in a press conference. Walker will have his hands full tracking and tackling Michigan running back De’Veon Smith while also keeping tabs on the Wolverines’ bevy of tight ends, but, like last week, the performance of the stop-unit will hinge on the play of the secondary. NU’s back four came through in a big way last Saturday, with sophomore safety Godwin Igwebuike recording nine tackles, junior corner Matthew Harris snagging an interception and senior corner Nick VanHoose making three pass breakups, and they’ll be called on to do it once more against the all-too-familiar quarterback Jake Rudock. Rudock led Iowa to a 48-7 embarrassment over NU a year ago and, after a graduate transfer to Ann Arbor, he’s back under center wearing a slightly different shade of yellow. But despite the Wolverines’ success this season, Rudock’s numbers aren’t spectacular. He’s completed 60 percent of his passes for 956 yards and five touchdowns to go along with six interceptions, which is actually a bit worse than his numbers from 2014. The performance Rudock produced against the Cats last time is an outlier, and NU certainly has the tools to contain him and avoid another blowout. What is different from a year ago is the cast of receivers catching Rudock’s passes. Michigan starts two seniors, Amara Darboh and Jehu Chesson, at wideout and also has the talented, 6-foot-6-inch Jake Butt at tight end. That trio has combined for 53 catches for 609 yards and three scores. VanHoose and Harris struggled with veteran Ball State receiver Jordan Williams, allowing eight receptions and 133 yards, but the duo has since become more determined to clamp down. “Having that bad taste of not winning those 50-50 balls against Ball State,” VanHoose said, “Matt and I set out last week to be better for our teammates.” It showed against Minnesota, and there’s no reason to think that strong play won’t continue. The biggest factor separating the two stalwart sides may be Michigan’s vaunted home field advantage. Michigan Stadium, more commonly known as The Big House, holds a staggering 107,601 seats, and most, if not all, will be filled for a contest between ranked teams. That alone could be the best defense against a redshirt freshman quarterback. But NU had no trouble knocking off Penn State, by a comfortable 29-6 margin, in the 106,572-seat Beaver Stadium a year ago. “It was a cool atmosphere, playing in front of that many people,” Frazier said. “And as we know last year from Penn State, it’s kind of fun to make those people not cheer as loud.” It was an added bonus that the contest was the Nittany Lions’ homecoming game. Coincidentally, this week’s matchup is Michigan’s homecoming game. And if there’s ever a time to buy into the “trap game” narrative — that a team is overlooking this week’s opponent in favor of a bigger game next week — this is it. Michigan has in-state rival Michigan State on the calendar for Oct. 17, and should the Wolverines win this week they’ll be a favorite to host ESPN’s College GameDay next week. The logic also flows in the opposite direction with NU’s own homecoming showdown against Iowa on the 17th looming, but the effect — if it exists — certainly seems worse for Michigan. Psychological factors in play might actually tilt in favor of the Wildcats. Regardless, a battle of titan defenses all but ensures a low-scoring game that will be close throughout and determined by a handful of key plays. And with each side’s offensive options limited, it will be up to defensive playmakers to make something happen. bpillote@u.northwestern.edu

NU prof discusses poetry at local bookstore By NORA SHELLY

the daily northwestern @noracshelly

Northwestern professor and poet Reginald Gibbons discussed the unique nature of poetry as an expressive medium Thursday evening at Bookends and Beginnings. Gibbons, the director of NU’s Center for the Writing Arts, read several passages of his book titled “How Poems Think” at the bookstore, 1712 Sherman Ave., to more than 30 people. Gibbons — who teaches poetry, fiction and literature courses — explored the meaning behind his poetic metaphors and the origins and significance of various words in the poems included in his book. “It’s a book about how poems think…in ways that are not found in other kinds of text,” Gibbons said. Gibbons said the book was inspired by his experience writing and studying poetry. His newest work explores ways of poetic thinking that are not commonly considered in the study of literary devices, he said. The book analyzes works by poets ranging from Shakespeare to Gwendolyn Brooks. While reading from a passage in his book, he spoke

about the origin and use of specific words, often pausing his speech to remark at certain ones. Those in attendance were not only Gibbons’ friends and co-workers but also those who are passionate about poetry and the author’s works. Ann Hudson, an Evanston resident and selfdescribed poet, said Gibbons’ talk piqued her interest in the difference between how humans think versus how they translate thoughts in writing. “It’s the kind of talk that makes you interested in reading the book,” Hudson said. “I’m interested in how the mind moves, that that is not necessarily how the mind moves on the page.” Jeff Garrett, a former NU librarian and partner at Bookends, said the bookstore hosted the event because they wanted to draw attention to local poets. In addition to “How Poems Think,” Gibbons is the author of nine volumes of poetry, a novel and has translated and edited numerous other works. One of his works was a finalist for the National Book Award in poetry. “He is just a very profound thinker of language and reality,” Garrett said. norashelly2019@u.northwestern.edu

Video, performance art pioneer to speak at NU By YAQOOB QASEEM

the daily northwestern @yaqoobqaseem

Joan Jonas, a pioneer in video and performance art, will speak at Northwestern on Oct. 10 as part of NU’s Art department Visiting Artist Program. She is one of the most prominent living American artists, said art Prof. Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev. Jonas’ visit is particularly valuable at this time, as she is representing the United States in the Venice Biennale, said Christov-Bakargiev, who has known Jonas for about 30 years. The Venice Biennale is an international art exhibition in its 56th year. “I learned so much about art from her and much of actually my own work as a curator, I think, is inspired by her way of working,” Christov-Bakargiev said. Jonas said her piece for the Venice Biennale explores questions of children, animals and the climate. “I wouldn’t say my work is political, but it does deal with issues that are very important in the contemporary world,” Jonas said. “My work is more like poetry.” The artist’s visit will involve a lunch and lecture

open to the public. The day before, Jonas will visit the graduate students’ studios and hopes to provide insight to both art students and the public audience. “Maybe they could get some insight into the function of art in the world,” Jonas said. “It gives pleasure on all levels to people. Art and culture is an area that is so important for our spiritual well-being.” Jonas was the first person to use video in the field of art, in a manner more like painting or sculpture than a narrative story, said Matt Martin, program assistant for the art department. The department has started to bring in more significant artists like Jonas, he said. “It’s incredibly valuable, even outside of an art context, speaking to someone that has a totally different view on life and art,” said Craig Neeson, a Master of Fine Arts student. Neeson said he is looking forward to meeting and speaking with Jonas. “Primarily my goal is not to be a starstruck idiot,” Neeson said. “The gravity of her work is really undeniable, whether you like it or you dislike it.” yaqoobqaseem2018@u.northwestern.edu

Black House From page 1

multiple student groups and individuals have reached out to him with concerns about the future of the Black House. Students have spoken up, Kellom said, voicing their opinions through the Sheridan Block Club, a group created this summer to oppose the changes, student groups, emails, Facebook posts, meetings with Kellom and other mediums. Communication senior Theanne Liu, APAC’s external president, said she was surprised by the announcement during the summer. “I thought this would be something the students would be consulted about,” she said. Even though it wouldn’t have been a problem for APAC to find another place to meet, the changes would make it harder for students of different organizations to access resources, said SESP senior Jeanne Hou, APAC’s internal president. As an example, she mentioned a collection of Asian American studies books and materials donated by students and alumni that are kept in APAC offices inside Multicultural Center and said it would have been hard for

Rebecca Hughes, a third-year Communication-McCormick dual-degree student, said the University should make it easier for students to access mental health resources, especially as NU welcomes more low-income students to campus. CAPS limits students to 12 free counseling sessions before referring them to outside resources,

APAC to find a new place to keep the collection if the changes had occurred. “I know there’s a lot of space on campus,” Hou said. “I didn’t see why they had to go to MCC or the Black House, that’s as if filing diversity and inclusion initiatives into one geographical area on campus and I didn’t think that made sense.” Kellom has stopped by APAC’s executive meetings, Liu said, and though nothing has changed yet, he discussed the situation with the executive board. Liu added she expects APAC to participate in the listening sessions. Weinberg junior Rimsha Ganatra, Muslimcultural Student Association’s vice president for public relations, said she felt groups were getting mushed together when she heard news about the planned changes. She said McSA encourages its members to attend the listening sessions. “We don’t know what’s going to happen next,” she said. “We’re not looking to fight the administration. … We’re looking for the best interests for our constituents.”

save college students in the U.S. over $1 billion a year, Durbin said. In addition to providing grants, the bill aims to educate professors and researchers about the costs of textbook and higher education fees. Ethan Senack, the federal higher education advocate at U.S. Public Interest Research Group, said during the conference call that many professors he has spoken with are not aware of the costs of the textbooks they assign for courses. “When I’m talking to professors and show them that the textbooks they are assigning can cost $100, $200, they’re stunned,” Senack said. “They don’t even look into the costs, and they certainly aren’t trying to give students that burden. We’re also trying to get professors to assign more affordable reading as well as giving opensource assignments.” Durbin said because students don’t get to choose what books they’re buying, it’s easy for businesses to inflate prices without consumers having the power to negotiate, Durbin said. “The textbook industry is virtually a monopoly,” Durbin said. “They know they have a captive

Weinberg senior Kenny Mok said CAPS should offer same-day counseling, as some other universities do. The wait-times to secure an appointment can also be burdensome, Rappoport said. He had to wait “three or four weeks” for an appointment at CAPS, a significant chunk of the 10-week quarter, he said. Other students suggested socially conscious additions to the University’s curriculum.

SESP junior Matt Herndon presented a list of reforms: He said Weinberg should create an Asian American studies major, establish a Native American studies program and implement a U.S.-based Social Inequalities and Diversities requirement. SESP junior Christina Cilento said NU should place more emphasis on environmentalism and sustainability across more of its curriculum. Other students critiqued the University’s advising system. Syed called Weinberg’s academic advising “very subpar” and said that although she studies economics and political science, her first-year adviser was a biology professor. “It’s so unbelievably pathetic that my freshman year adviser could barely help me,” Syed said. “She would literally tell me, ‘It’s a waste of

market and they’re exploiting it.” Franken and Durbin offered examples of open-source textbooks used at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities and at the University of Illinois that were paid for using federal funds. Both of the textbooks were created for introductory classes and would have cost over $150 per textbook if printed traditionally. Open-source textbooks created through the affordable college textbook bill would replace the most expensive textbooks in the most commonly taken courses, Franken said. “We want to make sure people can go to college without having to work 20, 40 hours a week,” he said. “This is a step towards reducing college debt in the nation.” Durbin said the cost of textbooks has grown over 82 percent since 2002 — more than three times the rate of inflation. The bill would provide university students alternatives to the traditional textbook market and allow for more accessibility in colleges overall, he said. “We need education to be at a cost everyone can afford,” Durbin said, “Making sure textbooks are sold at fair prices is a big part of that.” robinopsahl2018@u.northwestern.edu your time to talk to me. Maybe go to the econ department.’ It just stuns me that these systems aren’t in place already.” Raman told The Daily that the task force will present its recommendations to Provost Daniel Linzer in mid-December. After the meeting, she said some “common themes” are emerging from the task force’s conversations with students, faculty and staff. “We’ve heard from a lot of people talking about a lot of important things,” Raman told The Daily. “Our responsibility now is to write a document that will follow through on many of those things, those ideals about how Northwestern can be the best place it can possibly be.” ShaneM@u.northwestern.edu

Field Hockey From page 12

The Wildcats have had an up-and-down season thus far and have suffered tough losses to Maryland and Indiana. Senior midfielder Caroline Troncelliti said the team still uses the Indiana loss as a learning experience, and motivation for working on the team’s stamina. “Playing the whole 70 minutes of the game will be huge,” Troncelliti said. “It is definitely going to be a battle. They are a top-10 team and we lost to them last year like 2-1, so I think if we stay in the challenge for the whole game then that will probably be the key.”

Volleyball From page 12

libero Caroline Niedospial, who leads the Big Ten in digs per set, will be going up against Ohio State’s defensive specialist Valeria Leon, who is third in the Big Ten for digs per set. Niedospial is a force to be reckoned with and says that the team has been stepping it up to bring more heat on the court, in addition to their continued work on their on-court communication. “(We) definitely have been working a lot on serving more aggressively to get the other teams out of system, as well as hitting out of system balls more aggressively,” Niedospial said. “We have also worked a lot on connections between blocking and the defense behind the block.”

NU scored its first two goals in the Iowa game off of penalty corners — something the team has struggled with recently. But Fuchs said that penalty corners will play a pivotal part in the Stanford game as well. “Stanford has played some really good teams this year and lost a few overtime battles,” Fuchs said. “So that’s another thing, we haven’t had any overtime games so we prepared a little for that as well. Again I think it is going to be two West teams battling it out on Friday and I think the team that converts on their penalty corners will come out on top.” The Cats will face the Cardinal at 3 p.m. Friday at Lakeside Field. danielwaldman2019@u.northwestern.edu Although the last two disappointing games could have gotten the team out of its groove, the players are more driven than ever. Niedospial spoke about how excited she and her teammates are for their upcoming matches, not only because they will be at home, but also because they have a great opportunity to put their honed skills into practice. Slater said that the two losses helped them regroup for their next two matchups, even if they were saddened by their performance. Slater said the team got its heads together to become more cohesive than it already is. “We want to show everyone that we can be one of the elite teams in the Big Ten,” Slater said. “We’re ready to play.” sophiemann2018@u.northwestern.edu

Cats shutout in Michigan for second-straight loss By CHARLOTTE VAZIRI

the daily northwestern No. 22 Northwestern

Michigan

Northwestern’s first stab at ruining Michigan’s homecoming weekend did not go as planned. The No. 22 Wildcats (9-3-2, 3-2-1 Big Ten) suffered from a sluggish offensive performance as they lost 1-0 to Michigan (9-4-1, 4-1-1) on a rainy Thursday night in Ann Arbor. A Wolverine goal in the 34th minute set the tone for the rest of the game. “We got off to a slow start today and never recovered,” coach Michael Moynihan said. Michigan forward Reilly Martin streaked down the left wing, drawing two NU defenders. She dished the ball to fellow forward Corinne Harris and the Cats’ defense was slow to close her down, leaving her with enough real estate to rocket a shot from 25 yards out. Sophomore goalkeeper Lauren Clem watched the shot fly past her reach, settling in the right upper 90 of the net and putting Michigan on the board. “Credit to them for scoring a fantastic goal,” Moynihan said. After the goal, Michigan’s attack continued relentlessly. The Big Ten leader in shots per game took 18 shots

on the evening, five of them on goal, while NU was held to just seven shots total. The Cats didn’t have an answer to the Wolverines’ pace and proactive mentality, which kept NU locked in their territory the majority of the half. Michigan sent many balls down the flanks and into the NU box that the Cats’ defense couldn’t clear. In the midfield, the Wolverines dictated possession, and NU had little opportunity to string together passes and get into a rhythm. “Michigan was certainly the aggressors and used their size and athleticism to a great advantage,” Moynihan said. The Cats started the second half on the right foot, adjusting by putting more bodies forward and tailoring their press to suffocate the Wolverines’ backline, but their control of the early minutes of the half didn’t translate into a goal. Indecisiveness left NU players holding onto the ball too long and losing possession, and when they tried to find their forwards, such as their leading goal scorer, junior Addie Steiner, they were stopped cold by Michigan defenders. The Cats, a team that usually finds success clearing the ball to their forwards in order to stage a counter-attack, failed to connect when they had the chance to break. “We showed more fight in the second half,” Moynihan said, “but just didn’t do enough to sustain our attacks and threaten consistently.” The Cats relied on their goalkeeper to keep them in the game all night. In the 64th minute, Clem saved the team from a two-goal deficit when

Stanford comes to Lakeside Field in a battle of two top-15 teams. The Cats (9-4, 2-2 Big Ten) and the Cardinals (8-3, 0-1 America East) will clash in NU’s second-straight game against a ranked opponent. Cats coach Tracey Fuchs said Stanford has a similar playstyle to NU, but the Cats are adjusting their defensive scheme accordingly. “They are solid all over,” Fuchs said. “We are very similar. They will come out with a little bit of a different lineup. They typically play with four in the backfield so we just made some adjustments but nothing major.” The Cats started the game off strong versus then No. 18 Iowa (7-5, 1-2), and scored four unanswered goals. NU held the Hawkeyes to only four shots on goal, and the team is keeping an emphasis on defense for the Stanford matchup. Redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Lindsay von der Luft recorded a clean sheet last Friday and said that she wants the defense to play with the same mentality and intensity that they had in the Iowa matchup. “We just want to play like we did versus Iowa,” von der Luft said. “We did a really good job on defense that game, especially keeping them out of our 25 as much as possible. We just need to continue that in the next game and keep getting better.” » See FIELD HOCKEY, page 11

By SOPHIE MANN

Evanston, Illinois 7 p.m. Friday

Home court advantage could not come at a better time for Northwestern. The Wildcats (10-5, 2-2 Big Ten) take on the No. 9 Ohio State Buckeyes (14-2, 3-1) and the No. 3 Penn State Nittany Lions (14-1, 3-1) this weekend. The Cats will face one of the Big Ten’s top teams in the Nittany Lions, who lead the conference in hitting percentage and blocks. Despite the fierce competition, NU has a force of its own with junior middle blocker Maddie Slater, who ranks in the Top 30 in the NCAA for hitting percentage. Slater has her work cut out for her this weekend as she faces Penn State’s Haleigh Washington, who is No. 1 in the NCAA for hitting percentage, and the Buckeye’s outside hitting sensation Audra Appold, who was named both Big Ten Co-Player of the Week and Freshman of the Week this week. Slater and the rest of the squad have been working to ramp up their intensity in practice to combat players like Washington and Appold. “We’ve been doing a lot of drills to

Junior outside hitter Kayla Morin, who has the second highest number of points scored on the team overall, spoke about the importance of not letting up just because they will be playing at home. “We were really cognizant of focusing on different skills,” Morin said. “It can be easy to focus on the matches, but improvement is something we always need to concentrate on.” In another key matchup, redshirt senior » See VOLLEYBALL, page 11
