One day after federal authorities stopped a plot to send explosive packages to Chicagoarea synagogues, nine light bulbs were ripped from their sockets on the 6-foot Hanukkah menorah in front of a Northwestern Jewish center. One arm of the menorah was torn at its base, left hanging limply. Someone vandalized the menorah in front of the Tannenbaum Chabad House, 2014 Orrington Ave., on Saturday night, Chabad director Rabbi Dov Hillel Klein said. The Evanston Police Department, which could not be reached for comment, informed Klein of the vandalism early Sunday morning, he said. “I’ve been in this community for so long, and we’ve never had vandalism of this nature,” Klein said. “I was pretty saddened by it. I felt somewhat violated.” Chabad plans to address the incident in a forum Nov. 2 at 8 p.m. in an undecided location, Klein said. Rachel Zinn, president of Chabad’s

student executive board, said though the details of the forum are tentative, she wants participants to engage in a conversation about how incidents like the vandalized menorah affect the community. Zinn has been in touch with the chaplain’s office and hopes President Morton Schapiro will be involved with the forum. “I hope that anyone who feels that hate crimes are unacceptable will be there,” the SESP senior said. “I hope there are people there who want to learn about different religions, particularly about the symbols of those religions.” Klein compared the Chabad vandalism to previous Halloweens, when students dressed up in blackface — causing heated debate about race on campus — as well as the chalking of stick figure versions of Mohammed by Secular Humanists for Inquiry and FreeThought last year. He said it is important to have formal and casual conversation among NU community members to address these issues. See CHABAD, page 5

have shown increasing awareness of their sexual health. “HIV rates have been decreasing in general, but among youth, and especially in certain subgroups of the population, they’re actually increasing,” Perry said. Anonymous, “on-the-spot” testing is the most popular option among students, said Lisa Currie, NU’s director of health promotion and wellness. The distinction between confidential and anonymous testing is all in a person’s name. Anonymous testers don’t need to give one. Instead, they can use a string of numbers or an alias. There is still a unique identification attached to the test, but it’s impossible to trace back, Currie said. She said she doesn’t think the stigma surrounding getting tested is as much of a concern for today’s students as it has been in the past. It’s the cost, she said: anonymous tests are usually offered for free. “There may be some leftover stigma for some people, but not as much with today’s students,” Currie said. Whatever their reason for getting tested, she said students are getting in the habit of protecting themselves. The top three sexually transmitted diseases are HPV, gonorrhea and chlamydia, all of which are treatable. HIV is less common, she said, but also much less manageable. “We’re trying to make sure students understand that if you’re protecting yourself from HIV, you’re protecting your body from a whole host of STDs,” Currie said. Rainbow Alliance and the LGBT Resource Center plan to hold another test before the quarter ends and several during the winter, Perry said. peter.larson@u.northwestern.edu

NU’s Qatar campus launches a multimedia news website By Annie Chang the daily northwestern The Daily Q, Northwestern in Qatar’s first student publication, is up and running after officially launching Thursday. The publication, a multimedia website at www.dailyq.org, has been in the works for more than two years, said Professor Janet Key, the publication’s adviser. “It’s something I hoped would come from our program, but it just knocks me out that it has been so amazing,� she said. The New York Times chairman and publisher Arthur O. Sulzberger Jr. and editorial page editor Andrew Rosenthal were present for the site’s unveiling. “Sulzberger hit the button, and that was it,� Key said. “We launched.� Key said the two were in town for the Doha Tribeca Film Festival and came to campus to give a questionand-answer session and help launch the site. “Serendipity does not get any better than that,� Key said.

Medill sophomore Sidra Ayub who has been writing feature stories, news articles and profile pieces on her own, said it is an honor to be a member of the first The Daily Q staff. “It’s extremely special, for the very reason that we are its pioneers,� she said. “It’s like setting the footsteps in snow, giving a direction for others to follow.� The site includes breaking news coverage, photo essays, video packages and opinion-editorial pieces produced by NU-Q students. Story ideas are either pitched by staff writers or assigned by Key. “It was really a terrific experience,� Key said. “We worked long, we worked hard, but wow.

This year’s theme, “Rocky Horror Chemistry Show,� was complete with balloons, spotlights, cheerleaders, three bands and plenty of chemicals. The show began with bursting Halloween-colored flames and tap dancers on a table of popping chemicals. Next, a few of the graduate students performed an oscillating reaction in which a liquid transformed between blue and clear. When Eberhard put a burning match in a jar, it went out in a whirl of blue gas, causing the audience to clap and cheer. After demonstrations of root beer float sparklers and flammable soap water, two dance teams performed and a band played. “It’s all really awesome and it’s cool to see

The show ended with loud chemical reactions as the band played a grand finale piece. Eberhard waved a flaming torch and popped balloons one at a time. The chemical-filled balloons got louder with each pop. The audience sat in suspense as Eberhard got to the final balloon, and when the flame and the balloon finally touched, it produced an explosion felt around the lecture hall. “Definitely a great buildup for a great ending,â€? McCormick freshman Jolo Aguilar said. “The best part was definitely the grand finale. ‌You wouldn’t do anything like this normally in a lab and I am definitely more interested in chemistry now.â€?

Eberhard said his favorite parts of the show were the student performances in between the reactions, including the cheerleaders and dance groups. “I wish I could sit and watch sometimes‌ but somebody must put on a show,â€? he said. In addition to the Halloween show, Eberhard puts on another performance in the spring with the Undergraduate Chemistry Council. The show on North Beach is free and open to the public. Before the grand finale, Eberhard also proved he could put on a show in more than one way and joined one of the performing bands to sing a short song. “This song is about how I’m feeling because I can do something that makes you all happy and I can tell you all like it very much,â€? he told the audience. “And this makes me very happy also.â€? sherryjiao@u.northwestern.edu

Voting Texan stereotypes

W

hen I tell people where I’m from, everyone is surprised at first, and then they never stop giving me crap for it. Maybe I hide my accent, and maybe I’m good at vocalizing my progressive beliefs, but underneath all that, I am a Texan and I’ve learned that being a Texan at a top tier Chicago-area school comes with some difficulties. In my freshman dorm, I had friends who loved to poke fun at my (very slight) accent. There were two of us Texans in my friend group, and when we said “y’all,” everyone else loved to respond with “w’all,” their makeshift contraction for we all. This was the first ridicule I heard, but definitely not the last. Last year, the Texas State Board of Education voted to make huge changes in its history curriculum to convey more conservative views, such as illuminating the influence Christianity had on the formation of the country and presenting Republican policies more positively. How did I find out about this? A link posted on my Facebook wall from one of my NU friends along with her comment, “Your state is officially coocoo.” Since I’m the Texan, my friends here sometimes see me as the campus representative of what they (and usually I) consider to be utter ludicrousness, and then they start to see me through this lens. This summer while I was studying abroad, we would often meet people who wanted to know about certain American traditions and ideals. Sometimes when I tried to answer, one of my friends would interrupt saying, “She’s from Texas,” as if that meant that I wouldn’t convey America well, despite my two years at Northwestern and my consistently democratic voting pattern. The thing I struggle with the most is finding a balance between proving that I’m not a stereotypical Texan and pridefully defending my home state. Apart from the politics, I’ve always found it easy to love my state. The word Texas comes from a word meaning “friends,” and everyone I know always exhibits that. I get all caught up in the patriotic spirit, whether it’s for our state, our country, our or baseball and football teams. But my love for Texas usually stops when I take a look at the government. Last year, I was always complaining about my state. I was embarrassed when my congressman who uncivilly yelled, “It’s a baby killer,” during Congress’s healthcare debate. I threw a fit when the current governor, Rick Perry, was elected Republican gubernatorial candidate because voters thought that his opponent, Kay Bailey Hutchinson, was too closely tied to Washington because of her years as a senator. But in the past few weeks, I’ve found several reasons to stand up for my state on a political level as well. Joel Burns, a gay Fort Worth City Councilman, gave a speech during the Council’s meeting urging gay teenagers to stay away from suicide. The speech can now be found on YouTube as part of the “It Gets Better” campaign. I was first impressed that a gay man was serving on the city council of a Texas city, and doubly so because of this speech. The second thing I’m excited about is the events that have unfolded in the gubernatorial race. All of the major newspapers have endorsed Bill White, the Democratic candidate. At least newspaper editors are smart enough to realize that an idiotic Republican governor is worse than a Democrat, despite Texas’s commitment to Republicanism. So even though I’ve spent the last two years shaking my head in disbelief at Texas politics so my Northwestern friends won’t pigeonhole me into the Conservative Christian box, right now, at least, my Texas pride is extending beyond football spirit and big bright stars to the acts of political and media leaders. Let’s see if the rest of Texas can follow suit on Election Day tomorrow, so I can stop fighting against my state and start extolling its greatness. Meredith Wise is a Weinberg junior. She can be reached at meredithwise2008@u. northwestern.edu.

U.S. Senate alexi giannoulias

I

n the race for the Illinois Senate seat left open by President Barack Obama between Democrat Alexi Giannoulias and Republican Mark Kirk is one of the most highly contested in the country and there is considerable controversy surrounding each candidate. Giannoulias, while working for his family bank as a senior loans officer allegedly made millions in loans yo Chicago crime figures and Kirk has admitted to and apologized for considerably embellishing his military service record. For both parties, each Senate seat is crucial to either maintaining or gaining a majority in Congress. In this race, where polling has placed either candidates’ lead within the margin of error, voting will be particularly influential. While both candidates are flawed, The Daily endorses Giannoulias for the Illinois Senate seat as the best representative of the largely-liberal citizens of Northwestern, Evanston and Illinois. Voting Democrat in this particular race is especially important because when this Senate seat could be the difference between a Democratic and a Republican Senate majority, and The Daily largely disagrees with the decisions that we anticipate would be made by a Republican majority. The Daily acknowledges that Kirk is a seasoned politician with a real dedication to public service. Kirk’s stance as a moderate Republican in support of environmental issues and military service, regardless of the embellishment scandal, are commendable.

U.S. House of Representatives jan schakowsky

B

ased on both her policy stances and the advantages of her incumbency, The Daily endorses Jan Schakowsky for the U.S. House of

The Drawing Board

Representatives. Schakowsky was first elected to the House in the 1998 election and has represented the 9th congressional district ever since. She is a member of the House Democratic leadership, serving as Chief Deputy Whip and is a member of the Steering and Policy and Energy and Commerce committees, as well as the House Select committee on intelligence. In addition to holding a leadership position in Congress, Schakowsky has remained very popular in her district throughout her terms. Schakowsky is an advocate for women’s issues and immigration reform. In the past, she has been a major player in the healthcare battle, which indicates, even if you disagree with the policy, that she has had an impact on the national political landscape, which is always a desirable quality in a Representative.

Illinois Governor pat quinn

T

he Daily endorses Quinn for the position. As an incumbent, he has the traditional benefits of experience. His platform as a “strong, outspoken supporter of equal rights for all” is one we avidly support. Quinn, having served as lieutenant governor under Rod Blagojevich, has been criticized for his connection to the corrupt official. But ample investigation by the FBI have led nowhere and Quinn’s record remains clean. His opponent, Bill Brady, is a social conservative who believes in teaching intelligent design in schools. He is also committed to writing into legislation a firm definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman. Not only does he reject gay marriage, he even opposes civil unions. Brady’s close-minded LGBT policy is one we find unacceptable. Despite an anti-incumbent sentiment pervasive throughout politics, Quinn’s experience and progressive social values make him better suited for the position of Illinois governor. Additionally, the race for Illinois governor is especially important this year because of the impact that the next governor will have over the redrawing of congressional districts that will occur in the next few years.

Letter to the Editor

Calling all aspiring educators: NU-TEACH alternative teacher certification program is an option

Claire Brown’s recent Daily article (9/30/10), “In Focus: Why is everybody at Northwestern joining Teach for America?” was well-written and informative. However, I feel light needs to be brought to Northwestern’s own Alternative Teacher Certification Program, NU-TEACH. NU-TEACH’s director and Founder, Sylvia Smith-DeMuth, established the program in 1998. Over the past 13 years, NU-TEACH has educated hundreds of talented teachers who teach in Chicago elementary, middle and high schools. The program is an intensive twelve-month, three-phase course of study that prepares career changers and recent baccalaureates to teach in public and parochial Schools in high need urban areas. The intention is to encourage individuals with non-education degrees who have a desire to teach, who possess a strong knowledge base (content and subject matter mastery) and the ability to help students learn. NU-TEACH interns who successfully complete the initial three phases are given eight NU/MSED course equivalencies. For those NU-TEACH students who wish to continue along the MSED track, and are accepted into the MSED program, these eight course requirements are waived. The three-year retention rate for teachers who completed the NU-TEACH Program is nearly 90 percent. This far exceeds the estimated three-year national average of 54 percent, and is almost four times higher than the estimated retention rate of 24 percent in high poverty areas. (Ms. Brown cited a New York Times study that puts the fourthyear retention rate in New York City schools at an alarmingly low 15%). Over the past thirteen years, the program has produced the 2010 Presidential Award winner in mathematics from the state of Illinois, twenty-five National Board Certified teachers (one achieving the highest score in the Board’s history, and several receiving outstanding mention), two Golden Apple Award winners, two Golden Apple Teachers of Excellence, the 2010 Intel Star Innovator Award Winner and numerous other educational award winners. The retention rates and ongoing professional involvement in education are compelling evidence that the NU-TEACH Program has an effective platform for preparing teachers who view teaching as a career and are dedicated to serving urban students in underserved areas. The NU-TEACH Program does require a fouryear commitment after the initial twelve-month term is completed. The program is intended for those participants who want to make teaching a life-long endeavor. I strongly encourage Northwestern graduates who want to teach to consider applying to the NU-TEACH program. Tuition assistance and a limited number of donor fellowships are available to qualified candidates. —Mark Glenn NU-TEACH Administrative Coordinator

“It’s about learning from everybody and trying to gain understanding from different people in our community and around the world,” he said. “We need to stand up as a community and say this is not acceptable.” Although Klein said police have classified the incident as a hate crime, he does not know if the vandal intended to target Chabad. “Sometimes people throw eggs at houses (on Halloween), but it’s very different when you’re targeting a religious organization on campus,” he said. “Even if

they did it accidentally, or it was just mischief on Halloween, it’s a lack of sensitivity and a lack of awareness of the importance of Jewish items and symbols.” In the more than 15 years the menorah has stood outside the Chabad House, Klein recalls only one other act of vandalism targeted at Chabad, which occurred about 12 years ago. Although Klein said he doubts Saturday’s vandalism is connected with the explosive packages directed at Chicago synagogues Friday, he said the incidents give him a sense of risk in the community. “Maybe you have to look over your shoulder once in a while for people who feel hatefulness toward the

Jewish community,” he said. “It’s a significant campus community, so it’s an attack on the entire campus.” Michael Lobel, president of NU Fiedler Hillel Leadership Council, said NU and its Jewish community should be more aware of these threats. “It was definitely a little bit of a reminder that despite the fact we live in a very supportive and great environment at Northwestern and in general, there’s people out there that don’t like the Jewish people,” the Weinberg senior said. “And they would like to hurt me, my friends and my family because of who I am — that’s disturbing.” Hillel Executive Director Michael Simon said

Hillel will be heightening its awareness of the situation and monitoring suspicious activity. However, he does not believe the explosive packages are connected to the Chabad vandalism. Simon said he hopes the vandalized menorah is an isolated incident and not meant to target a particular group. “We stand in solidarity with our colleagues at Chabad House and hope there are not further actions of this kind,” Simon said. “It’s not in keeping with neighborly environment of Northwestern.” katie.park@u.northwestern.edu

Road trip can’t keep students from Stewart-Colbert rally with Stewart’s “sanity” rally. Colbert worked to drown out optimism and reason in America. Despite Colbert’s message, Schiffman said the audience was generally “really nice and friendly.” “The presentation was really nice, but the audience was my favorite,” she said. “There were interesting characters and great signs.” The entire rally acted as a satirical reaction to Glenn Beck’s Aug. 28 “Restoring Honor” rally, but Berzins appreciated how the rally focused on a message about tolerance and logic. “There were a lot of anti-Tea Party posters, but

Glassroth chosen as Feinberg interim dean

Dr. Jeffrey Glassroth has been named interim dean of the Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern announced Friday. Glassroth replaces Dr. J. Larry Jameson, who is taking a job at the University of Pennsylvania as executive vice president and dean of the School of Medicine. Glassroth will become interim dean Jan. 1. He is currently the president and CEO of the Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation as well as Vice Dean and Chief Academic Officer of Feinberg. Jameson was dean for three years and has been a member of the Feinberg faculty for 17 years, University President Morton Schapiro said. He will stay

Plus, the Halloween atmosphere still permeated the event. “It was a fun, relaxed atmosphere, and everyone was in costume,” Berzins said. meghanapuri2014@u.northwestern.edu

Penn is an extraordinary opportunity for him and he took it.” NU has yet to form a search committee for a permanent dean, but will soon, according to the announcement. The committee will have a difficult task, Schapiro said. “Anybody want to try to replace Larry Jameson?” he said. “Good luck.” — Lark Turner

Comeback attempt falls short for Cats on Senior Night By Minjae Park the daily northwestern Even with a late rally, Northwestern could not overcome NCAA Tournament hopeful Minnesota, losing 2-1 to the Golden Gophers at Lakeside Field on Friday. After going down 2-0 in the 70th minute, freshman forward Bo Podkopacz scored 11 minutes from the end to hand the Wildcats (6-8-3, 2-5-1 Big Ten) a lifeline, but the Gophers (11-5-3, 3-4-2) held onto their lead to deny NU a senior night victory. “Our performance was awesome today,� senior midfielder Sam Greene said. “Everybody played for the seniors. We played hard, we deserved to win that game.� Before the game, seniors Colleen Antas, Ally Arca, Jennifer Baumann, Carolyn Edwards, Leigh Jakes and Greene were handed flowers and hugs from their teammates, coaches and parents as they were honored for their time at NU. The seniors,

aside from fifth-year senior Jakes, are the first class to have played every home game at Lakeside Field, which opened in 2007. “Pretty surreal, I would say, because (senior night) has happened the last three years, and we do all the same things every time,� Greene said. “Now it’s for me and it’s kind of crazy. I still can’t believe this is the last game on this field.� As promised, coach Stephanie Foster started all six graduating seniors. The first clear chance of the game fell to junior midfielder Emily Langston, whose shot inside the six-yard box was smothered by Gopher goalkeeper Cat Parkhill. Minnesota took the lead in the 17th minute, when defender Tamara Strahota had a shot blocked by the Cats defense inside the penalty area but persisted, forcing the ball past Edwards. The Cats responded with a shot from Greene from inside the six-yard box that sailed high above the target. The Gophers nearly doubled their lead 11 minutes from the end of the first half when

Fitzgerald said he talked to the training staff, who told him Persa was “woozy.� “They were going to hold him out for precautionary measures,� Fitzgerald said. Despite Persa’s injury, the Cats managed to put points on the board on that drive — points that proved to be the margin of victory. Redshirt freshman Evan Watkins completed a 13-yard pass to junior wide receiver Jeremy Ebert on his first play under center to move NU into field goal range. “(Persa) went down, and it’s my job to be prepared to step in at any point,� Watkins said. Senior kicker Stefan Demos then booted a clutch 45-yard field goal into the wind, putting NU up 20-10. “I got back there, and a little bit of gust picked

up,� Demos said. “I just stayed with it.� For the second consecutive week, Demos was perfect on his kicks, converting on two field goal tries and two extra points. In addition to the 45-yarder, he nailed a 23-yard field goal as time expired in the first half to tie the game at 10-10. Defensively, the Cats shut down the Hoosiers’ run game, holding Indiana to 65 yards rushing. However, NU gave up more than 300 yards passing for the second straight week as quarterback Ben Chappell completed 30-of-54 passes for 308 yards with a touchdown. He also scrambled for another, capping a 16-play, 97-yard drive just before halftime. While NU’s defensive emphasis was on getting to Chappell to force him to rush throws, the Cats did not record a sack. They did, however, have five quarterback hurries, including three by senior linebacker Quentin Davie.

Jennie Clark leapt high to head the ball onto the crossbar from a corner kick. NU returned to the second half with an unusually offensive lineup. Greene, who had been playing in the central defense, was pushed up into a five-member midfield, leaving just three players at the back. “We were going for it,� Foster said. “All we can do at this point is go after the three points and wins. So, we just wanted to go for it right away. We didn’t want to wait until mid-half.� Despite the Cats’ daring approach to the second half, neither side opened up the game beyond what was on display in the first half. Minnesota grabbed their second goal in the

“There were some times that we didn’t get to him that we should have. It cost us on that long drive going into halftime.� The Cats seemed to have the game well in hand, possessing the ball inside two minutes left in the game and up 20-10. However, when Trumpy failed to move the chains on a fourth-and-three run with 1:21 remaining, the Hoosiers took advantage. Chappell connected with wide receiver Duwyce Wilson for a 39-yard touchdown, bringing the game within three. “(Indiana) can make you pay when you make a mistake,� Fitzgerald said. “We can’t let that happen towards the end of the game.� On the ensuing kickoff, kicker Mitch Ewald pushed the onside kick out of bounds, giving the ball to the Cats and wrapping up the victory. Trumpy’s breakout performance was part of a productive ground game for NU, something that had eluded the Cats since their 37-3 victory over Illinois State in the second week of the season. Collectively, the team rushed for 155 yards on the ground. Before leaving the game, Persa completed 18 of 28 passes for 212 yards with two touchdown passes, both to Ebert. After being held to a season-low 20 yards receiving

70th minute when forward Steph Brandt struck a hard shot into the bottom-left corner that left Edwards rooted to the spot. “It’s really hard when you go down 2-0, but it’s a great scoreline to be playing against — better than 1-0 — because the team who’s up feels comfortable,� Foster said. “We were saying that the whole time, ‘2-0’s a terrible scoreline for them.’� The Cats pulled a goal back when Greene sent in a cross that Podkopacz guided into the far corner. It was Podkopacz’s first goal in an NU shirt. “It’s a bittersweet thing,� Podkopacz said. “Unfortunately, we lost but I guess it’s still nice that I scored.� The goal gave NU renewed purpose as it searched for an equalizer, but nothing materialized. “You certainly get hope when you put one away,� Foster said. “We had the chances. We certainly had the chances. We just didn’t put them away.� minjae@u.northwestern.edu

Pat Fitzgerald, coach

in NU’s 35-27 loss to Michigan State, Ebert returned to form with five catches for 98 yards. “He’s pretty good,� Fitzgerald said with a smile. “That is what an All-Big Ten receiver looks like. He’s dynamic and makes plays all over the field. He makes the tough catches.� Both his touchdown grabs gave NU the lead. With the Cats trailing 3-0 after failing to score the first points of the game for the first time all season, Persa scrambled and found Ebert in the end zone for an 11-yard score. In the third quarter, Ebert beat the secondary deep and hauled in a 30-yard strike from Persa. “(The play) wasn’t really supposed to go to me,� Ebert said. “Dan gave me a little nod and it was man (coverage), so I just ran right by the guy and Dan threw a perfect ball.� colinbecht2013@u.northwestern.edu

Cats win game, lose Persa By Colin Becht the daily northwestern

Mr. Third Down: Junior wide receiver Jeremy Ebert, who leads the Big Ten in receiving yards, had all of his team-high five receptions — and both of Northwestern’s touchdowns — on third downs.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Even in its first win in nearly a month, Northwestern suffered a potentially crippling loss. The Wildcats (6-2, 2-2 Big Ten) became bowl-eligible for the fourthstraight year with their 20-17 win over Indiana (4-4, 0-4) on Saturday. However, depending on how junior quarterback Dan Persa’s head feels, they may have lost more than they won. NU ran away from the Hoosier State with the victory mostly on the legs of redshirt freshman Mike Trumpy, who produced the greatest game by an NU running back in nearly two years. After blowing fourth quarter leads in their past two games, the Cats managed to seal the victory. “We always put an emphasis on finishing in our program,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “We finally found a way to get it done.” Trumpy rushed 21 times for 110 yards, becoming the Cats’ first 100-yard rusher since Tyrell Sutton in the 2008 Alamo Bowl. Trumpy also had three receptions for 54 yards. Still, the win came with an air of somberness as the Cats lost junior quarterback Persa to an apparent concussion. On a second-and-11 midway through the fourth quarter, Persa rushed for three yards before he was hit by safety Mitchell Evans and middle linebacker Jeff Thomas. Persa talked with NU trainers on the field for several minutes before leaving the game. His status for next week at Penn State is currently unknown. See FOOTBALL, page 6

Trumpy delivers rare 100-yard day for NU By Jonah L. Rosenblum the daily northwestern BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Northwestern has been looking for someone to break through the pack like Tyrell Sutton for a long time. The Wildcats finally found that someone in redshirt freshman Mike Trumpy. Trumpy ran for 110 yards Saturday in NU’s 20-17 win over Indiana and was the first NU running back to reach the 100-yard mark since Sutton accomplished the feat in the 2008 Alamo Bowl. “It’s great to get that monkey off our back and get a 100-yard rusher,” c o a ch Pat Fitzgerald There were said. “ Tremendous job obviously by our offensive line, our some holes superbacks, there and it our wide receivers, our was just my running backs job to read and obviously by (offensive them. coordinator Mike Trumpy, Mick) McCall the offenrunning back and sive staff.” Yet, Fitzgerald stressed that getting a running back into the triple digits is not one of his team’s main priorities. “We want to be run-efficient ,” Fitzgerald said. “With the way that we run the spread, being run-efficient is more important than it is for a 100-yard rusher. We could run for

90 and it could be the most important 90 yards of the game.” Trumpy took the reins of the Cats’ rushing attack Saturday, with an ankle injury keeping junior running back Jacob Schmidt, the team’s listed starter, out of the game. Trumpy said he had a feeling he would get more carries this week but wasn’t told anything specific leading up to the game. “I kind of had an idea,” Trumpy said. “I wasn’t exactly sure. Coach McCall never told me how much or how little. I just have to come prepared.” Trumpy filled in admirably, averaging 5.2 yards per carry, and also caught three passes, combining for 164 all-purpose yards. Overall, NU’s running game was adequate, averaging 3.7 yards per carry. Freshman Adonis Smith added 14 yards and sophomore Arby Fields picked up 10 yards, but Trumpy was given the vast majority of the carries with 21. He was quick to credit the offensive line for his success. “They did an outstanding job,” Trumpy said. “I give all the credit to them. There were obviously some holes there and it was just my job to read them.” Questions surfaced about NU’s rush attack after the Cats ran for just 84 yards against Purdue, but the Cats have addressed the problem nicely in their past two games. They rushed for 170 yards against Michigan State and for 155 yards at Indiana. “ The more we work together, the more confidence we have in each

other and the more we trust each other,” Trumpy said. “It’s basically second nature to everyone here, so we just go out and play.” Up ten points late in the fourth quarter, the run game once again came through for NU, accumulating 46 yards on 10 rushing plays. The drive took up nearly five minutes and gave Indiana little time to muster a rally. “I wish we could’ve stopped their run there a couple of times there in the last five minutes so we didn’t get so out of time,” Indiana coach Bill Lynch said. “Anytime you leave it up to an onside kick, that’s a pretty icky thing.”

From start to finish, NU’s running game provided the balance that the Cats have lacked much of this season. On Saturday, NU picked up 10 first downs on the pass and nine on the run, representing the team’s most even distribution of the season. “We got to be able to have some sort of semblance of balance,” Fitzgerald said. “More importantly, we have to be efficient. Most of the year, we’ve been really close, we just haven’t been over the hump. It’s a finish here, a finish there, run through a tackle. We’ve been close and we were able to get it today.” jonahrosenblum2012@u.northwestern.edu

Finding Mr. Right, not Mr. Right Now

L

et’s count the number of times that Northwestern has finally found the answer at running back since the heralded Tyrell Sutton exited stage right for the NFL. Stephen Simmons, now a senior, took the reins and came out of the 2009 gates strong with 77-yard and 73-yard performances, but he hasn’t been the same since he sat out the following three games due to injury. Then-sophomore Scott Concannon had a breakout game in NU’s 25-point comeback against Indiana with 73 yards, but he hasn’t found that mojo again. The backfield was a muddled mess all season, with Arby Fields emerging as the team’s leading rusher with only 302 yards. He came into 2010 as the proverbial leader in the eyes of many fans, and put together 96 yards against Illinois State. His fourth quarter fumble against Central Michigan, however, put him on the sidelines. Jacob Schmidt, who started in the opener at Vanderbilt, got the call again after that Fields fumble, but ran for only 60 yards in the next three games and fumbled himself against Michigan State, hurting his ankle on the play. Freshman Adonis Smith was a sexy pick after dashing and cutting for 44 yards against Michigan State, but he couldn’t do much against Indiana on Saturday. Enter Mike Trumpy. The redshirt freshman got his first career carry in garbage time against Illinois State, and saw his first significant playing time against Central Michigan. After quietly putting together a 50-yard and two 53-yard games, he got the start in Bloomington. But if you had told me that Trumpy, backup to the fourth power at the start of the season, would break that 100-yard mark not seen since Sutton, I’d have called you crazy. When Trumpy came into that game against Illinois State, an editor at The Daily and I joked about admittedlyterrible headlines we could use if Trumpy ever had a big game. “Trumpy blows his horn” and “Trumpelstiltskin” were among our favorites, but we figured we’d never get the chance to use them (and never will — they’re that terrible). Looking back at his stats, his emergence was bound to happen eventually. He averaged at least four yards per carry in three games not counting Indiana, but only got 13 carries at most. On Saturday, Trumpy got a bulk of the carries, rushing 22 times for 110 yards. He’s already topped Fields’ season total from last year with 307 yards (Dan Persa leads the team with 360). Maybe I shouldn’t be so surprised. In a running-rich program with names like Darnell Autry and Damien Anderson, the Wildcats haven’t had a big name since Sutton. At this point, between fake punts and the loss against Purdue, I’ve learned to expect the unexpected. No doubt coach Pat Fitzgerald has grown tired of questions about the running game, figuratively and literally, from us media types, but these past two seasons show that the running game is fraught with uncertainly. Trumpy is Mr. Right Now, just like Simmons, Fields and Schmidt before him. So is Trumpy the answer at running back? Maybe, but in the spirit of former NU coach Dennis Green, let’s not crown him just yet. Sports Editor Andrew Scoggin is a Medill Senior. He can be reached at andrewscoggin@u.northwestern.edu.
