The University has selected a site adjacent to the lakeside James L. Allen Center for the new Kellogg School of Management building, which, when built, will open up the Donald P. Jacobs Center for an alternate use. After vetting issues related to parking for the new building, the site was formally selected Wednesday, according to University President Morton Schapiro. The Board of Trustees also approved of the plan in a meeting Thursday, according to University spokesman Al Cubbage. “Following a thorough review of plans for the building, we’re excited to finalize this site, which offers breathtaking lakefront views and will be a destination for business and civic leaders from around the world,” said Sally Blount, the dean of Kellogg, in a press release. “This site will unify our anchor campus in Evanston and serve as a foundation for our global network in the 21st century.” Blount added that the design process for the building has already begun and the school is increasing its fundraising efforts for the project. The next step in the process will be selecting an architect, Cubbage said. In November 2009, NU was considering a site east of the Henry Crown Sports Pavilion and Aquatic Center. The selected site was initially “not being considered,” Cubbage said. Kellogg’s fundraising efforts will become easier as the plan is finalized, Cubbage said. Because plans, size and cost are still to be determined, the fundraising goal is not yet decided, he said. The school first announced plans for a new building in April 2008. At the time then-University President Henry Bienen said the building would likely be larger than the 240,000 square foot Jacobs Center. A year later, Bienen said the cost of constructing the new

By Lark Turner the daily northwestern Northwestern is soliciting undergraduate applicants for a new Off-Campus Advisory Board, Dean of Students Burgwell Howard announced Thursday. Following widespread complaints after a weekend of hard partying, Howard sent an e-mail to off-campus residents Oct. 14 denouncing some student

ehavior. That e-mail eventually led to an Oct. 26 town hall forum, inviting the NU community to discuss the relationship between off-campus students and non-student residents. Creating the advisory board was a topic of discussion at the town hall, attended by about 25 students. It will consist of 8-15 members, who will serve as a focus group for dealing with towngown issues and give feedback to the

administration. It will also help solicit more opinions from students, Howard said. “Oftentimes students may feel more comfortable sharing information with a peer or a friend than an administrator,” he said. Because of the relatively small audience at the town hall, the latest e-mail to off-campus residents advertised the board more widely and invited interested students to contact Betsi Burns, a new assistant dean of students whose job, in part, will involve working with off-campus and non-student residents. Another goal for the advisory board

will be helping the administration reach out to students in effective ways, Howard said. “One of the challenges for Northwestern in general is, how do we prepare people for living within the Evanston community,” he said. “Often students find themselves in violation of city ordinances simply because they just weren’t aware, so we need to prepare people.” Howard received national attention from gossip website Gawker for two e-mails he sent to the student body in October, one detailing the weekend of See Off-Campus, page 9

Purple Line may see improvements By Alan Yu the daily northwestern Northwestern students and staff may be better sheltered from the elements in Chicago Transit Authority Purple Line stations in the future. Despite budgetary problems, the CTA is carrying out a study of the North Red and Purple Lines from Belmont station to Linden station to determine how to improve existing facilities, said CTA media relations manager Wanda Taylor. Most stations and bridges have deteriorated, and the power and signal systems are at the end of their service life, according to the CTA’s website. The CTA’s 2011 budget calls for rehabilitation of stations every 40 years, and Foster and Noyes need upgrades as they have not been rehabilitated since 1964. The Purple Line is better than most other lines as it has only two slow zones, or areas where trains have to slow down due to track conditions. But NU students and staff who commute regularly on the El said the

Purple Line stations need to be renovated. Although the Belmont station now has better lighting, elevators and wider platforms after being renovated this fall, the rest of the North Red and Purple Lines still need improvement. “Foster and Noyes are in pretty bad shape, “ said Kathleen Geraghty, a research associate in NU’s psychology department. “The roof is leaking, the paint is peeling and the platforms get wet when it rains or snows.” Evanston officials are also concerned about the poor condition of the viaducts along the Purple Line, especially those at Greenleaf Street, Grove Street and Dempster Street. Ald. Jane Grover (7th) and Ald. Melissa Wynne (3rd) and Intergovernmental Affairs Coordinator Matt Swentkofske attended the CTA board meeting Wednesday to discuss the situation, and the CTA has allocated funds for the replacement of the three viaducts in the 2011 budget, Swentkofske said. Although the CTA has plans to rehabilitate stations system-wide, its 2011-2015 Capital Improvement Program , which

From the Wires Scientists convert skin into blood cells

Canadian scientists have turned human skin cells directly into blood cells, the first time one kind of mature human cell has been converted into another, according to a study published Sunday in the journal Nature. The team created the mother cells that multiply to produce other blood cells as well as mature blood cells, according to the report. Both types of cells could be useful in medical treatments, said study leader Mick Bhatia, a stem cell scientist at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. “There is a great need for alternative sources of human blood,” Bhatia said. “Since this source would come from a patient’s own skin, there would be no concern of rejection of the transplanted cells.” Bhatia said he is seeking research partners to study the risks associated with the new technique and to determine if it is suitable for generating the large numbers of blood cells a patient might need. — Los Angeles Times

NoteUtopia, a startup company for college students founded by a young Sacramento State graduate, has been ordered to “cease and desist” by the California State University chancellor’s office, which said the company is violating state education codes that prohibit students from selling their class notes.

Washington state agency bans caffeinated alcohol beverages The Seattle Times OLYMPIA, Wash. — The Washington State Liquor Control Board on Wednesday approved an emergency ban of caffeinated alcohol drinks, the type of beverage that sickened nine Central Washington University students last month during an off-campus party. Board members said they took the action because of public health and safety concerns. The ban will take effect Nov. 18 and remain in place for 120 days while the board goes through rulemaking procedures for a permanent ban. The state legislature also is expected to consider passing a law early next year banning the drinks. “We have been concerned for some time about the dangers posed by alcohol energy drinks. At my request, the board this morning voted to ban this new breed of alcohol drinks in the state of Washington,” Gov. Chris Gregoire said at a news conference after the vote. “The Liquor Control Board has a duty to protect the safety of the people of Washington state. It has fulfilled that duty by banning these drinks.” Gregoire said she had been concerned that the drinks were targeting young people. “Reports of inexperienced or underage drinkers consuming them in reckless amounts have given us cause for concern,” she said. “With hospitalizations and near-lethal blood alcohol levels, many of these young folks were unaware just how drunk they had become.” The six women and three men who became sick at the Oct. 8 house party in Roslyn, Kittitas County, had consumed Four Loko, a product some people have dubbed “blackout in a can.” It is among some two dozen such products on the market that combine a stimulant with alcohol. All of the students who became ill were under 21 and had high blood-alcohol readings. One woman nearly died, officials said, noting that consuming a single, 23.5-ounce can of Four Loko, which is

Friday, November 12, 2010

12 percent alcohol, is considered comparable to drinking five or six beers. Since the incident, various groceries across the state have pulled caffeinated alcohol products from their shelves. Jim Halstrom, a lobbyist for Phusion Projects, the maker of Four Loko, objected to the action during the board meeting. “No one is more upset than we are when our products are abused or consumed illegally by underage drinkers. But we also believe curbing alcohol abuse or underage drinking will not be accomplished by singling out a lone product or beverage category,” he said. “We think the true answer lies with increased education and awareness by all and with respect for the law.” After the meeting, Halstrom said, “We’re concerned about the haste with which this was addressed. We understand that much of the impetus for this came out of the Roslyn event. What we have seen from the police reports … our product was not identified as at fault. “I’m not saying our product was not consumed. I’m saying we’re not at all sure that our product was the one that created the significant problems,” he said, referring to the students becoming ill. This month, the Michigan Liquor Control Commission banned Four Loko and dozens of similar drinks. Last year, 25 state attorneys general, including Washington State Attorney General McKenna, asked the Food and Drug Administration to examine the beverages. Washington state liquor stores do not carry the products, but many convenience stores do, according to the state Liquor Control Board. Critics say the hefty dose of caffeine in the drinks masks the effects of the alcohol. Makers of the products counter that combining alcohol and caffeine is not new. Fans of the beverages compare them to cocktails such as Irish coffee, rum-and-cola and vodka-and-Red Bull, all of which combine alcohol and a stimulant.

World’s largest student film festival stops at Northwestern By Annie Chang the daily northwestern A breakup, an organic chemistry exam, a street musician — these are just a few of the subjects of the 29 short films Northwestern students submitted to the annual Campus MovieFest competition Tuesday. Participating students worked in teams to write, film and produce a five-minute video in one week for the chance to win Best Picture, Best Comedy, Best Drama or the AT&T Wild Card Award for the movie with the most text votes from the public. Students with an award-winning movie will also receive an iPod, Final Cut Studio editing software and the chance to compete in the CMF International Grand Finale. The films can be seen online at campusmoviefest.com. Results will be announced next Tuesday at the festival’s finale at 8 p.m. in the Tech Ryan Family Auditorium. Communication sophomore Brandon Daley said his film, “Bob,� which he co-wrote and directed with Communication sophomore Spenser Gabin, took less than the allotted week to complete. The film is about a man proposing a menage a trois to his love interest with his repulsive roommate. “Other films focused on larger casts and intricate twists,� Daley said. “Ours is just a short little sketch but it looks really nice.� Campus MovieFest is the world’s largest student movie festival with 46 participating colleges and universities including DePaul University, Columbia

University and New York University. The festival tours the country from August to April, visiting one campus per week. Gabin said the festival is an opportunity to help students not only with their movie-making skills but also with their teamwork skills. “It brings the campus together in some ways,� he said. “There’s a lot of teamwork going on, and there’s a single goal that everyone’s working towards.� Campus MovieFest started almost 10 years ago at Emory University when four students provided other students with cameras and laptops to make a movie in one week. This year, approximately 100,000 students across the country will submit films to the festival. Many of the movies submitted were made by film major students, but non-RTVF majors were encouraged to participate as well, Daley said. Communication junior Nick Gertonson and Communication senior Aaron Eisenberg wrote and directed “620 Clark,� a film about a student who spends a Friday night trying to find his crush at an off-campus party. Gertonson said his theatre major did not put him at a disadvantage in the competition, but his busy schedule did. The team filmed whenever they had time throughout the week, sometimes meeting for only 30 minutes at a time. “I had an insane amount of work to do for my classes,� he said. “But one thing I’m proud of is that we stuck to the time limit.� anniechang2013@u.northwestern.edu

Sophomore’s ‘Jeopardy!’ appearance to air Friday afternoon By Safiya Merchant the daily northwestern Weinberg sophomore Katie Singh will be buzzing in on national television Friday afternoon, when she appears on the “Jeopardy!� College Championship. Her episode airs Friday at 3:30 PM CST on ABC7. This is Singh’s first appearance on the show, after being cut during the audition round last year. She said she decided to take the online test again in February to qualify for the championship and was

granted another audition in Chicago. The audition consisted of a 50-question test, a mock game of “Jeopardy!� and an interview. This time, Singh passed. “[They were] looking for personality, knowledge and people who would be personable, interesting and confident on TV,� Singh said. To practice, Singh said she watched episodes of the show and worked on “buzzing in.� When she knew the answer to a question, she would click on a pen that she received at the audition. When she told her friends that she had made the show, she said she remembered them saying, “You

would be the person to go on Jeopardy.â€? Singh said she always knew the answers to all the questions when she watched Jeopardy at home. “We studied together ‌ she has an amazing general knowledge,â€? Weinberg sophomore Yasha Saxena said. “She watches the news a lot.â€? When they would go to Kafein together, Saxena remembers Singh knowing all the answers to the cafe’s trivia cards. “I knew that she was super smart, but not Jeopardy smart,â€? SESP sophomore Jennie van den Boogaard said. “She knows a lot of things from all parts of life since she’s pre-med and a political science major.â€?

Although she said being on the show was fun, Singh admitted that she was nervous. “I didn’t want to make a fool of myself on national TV, like fall on my face or say something stupid,� she said. Despite the fact that it was a game show, Singh felt that there wasn’t any competitive atmosphere during her time on the show. When she left, she had made 15 new friends. “I met a lot of awesome people,� Singh said. “It was one of the best experiences I could ask for.� safiyamerchant2014@u.northwestern.edu

Major Malfunction

L

et me tell you why I wish I wasn’t an English major: because I care about language and I care about meaning. Now that probably sounds silly; you would think (as I did) that there’s nothing more perfect for a person who cares about language and meaning than to be an English major. You would be wrong. You would think that reading those texts written by the supposed best and brightest and analyzing their language in search of profound truths would produce a community of deep thinkers and responsible citizens. But instead, more often than not, it creates mental self-aggrandizers sitting in that clichéd and yellowing ivory tower, spinning out a pre-determined, selfaggrandizing political agenda in vague, undefended interpretations. Whoa, that’s a little strong Weissmann, isn’t it? Ok, caveats: yes, there are some amazing students and professors of English literature who look closely at and think deeply about the language authors use to tell us about the human condition. And there are others who force their students to question absolutist categories, to understand the complexity of language and how it makes meaning, and to be very careful about the clarity needed in reading and writing. Satisfied? Now, more complaining. My parents and I , some rich donors and Citibank are paying thousands of dollars for me to take these classes with the expectation that I will be made a better, brighter person through it. Instead, I sit there for an hourand-a-half while 20-year-olds peddle pitifully defended claims about what they “feel” while professors try to apologetically fit those claims into what the words actually say or into the equally weak interpretation they’ve conjured themselves. “What’s the tone of this text, class?” “Well, the way he writes makes me feel that the intention he’s trying to convey through his words is that he’s bitter. I don’t know. Don’t those words convey righteous indignation? I don’t know.” If you’re an English major or even if you’ve had to take an English class to fulfill a requirement you’ve paid thousands of dollars to hear sentences that sound disturbingly similar to that one. They say the humanities are dying because people are more concerned about making money in science or the good old Wall Street way, and that unless we defend a broad, liberal arts education we’ll have a society of amoral, unthinking automatons without any sense that there is more to life than the next buck and petty pleasures. I say the humanities are dead, because they are unable to make people into thoughtful, ethical actors. More often than not, those who teach them and those who learn them believe that all truths are relative, except for that one and the one that says everyone but liberals are sexist, racist, classist, puritanical zealots. Just listen closely next time you hear an English professor lecture. Are they reading Shakespeare’s words or are they claiming that he defends the privileged status of old, white men? Are they analyzing Jane Austen or attacking the men who published her for being so damn Victorian? Read closely! They also say that being an English major teaches you how to write. If they only knew that at the height of my English-majoranalytical powers I spun 10 line poems into 20 page treatises and got A’s and huzzahs. Here’s the point: being an English major doesn’t enlighten you, it makes you a master of bullshit. But it doesn’t have to. And this goes for any major, especially in the humanities — we can and should demand more of our professors and of ourselves. Consider this: One time in a high school English class I wrote a 15-page in-class essay, but it was only one paragraph. My teacher — who taught me how to think and write — was furious; she said that I’d have to shape up, because college was going to demand more, and being the best writer in my high school class was like being the fly on top of a pile of shit. Well, I’ve been in college for some time now, but something still smells. Jamie Weissmann is a Weinberg senior. He can be reached at weissmannator@gmail.com.

Yes, for some, it may allow for a more diverse education, but as a freshman in McCormick, the idea of three class quarters terrifies me. As it stands, there are already quarters where every class I take is required for my major and cannot be put off. Even if the system was reworked to allow me to take three classes and still stay on track for a four year graduation, the number of spaces for electives available in my schedule would greatly decrease. Yes, I could take that extra fourth class, just as I can take a fifth class this quarter. In reality, however, expecting the students to take that initiative is naïve. As it is, NU students are tired and working hard. The quarter system is rigorous, and I’m sure many of us would love to take one less class, but I also look forward to a time during the week where I can completely switch gears and study something besides linear algebra and Chemistry. NU gave me the opportunity to be an engineer and still pursue other interests, requiring me to take a step outside of my major. A three-class quarter system would never allow for the kind of flexibility that I see in our schedule now. —Kate Geraghty McCormick freshman

Kellogg building , Common and early decision

New Kellogg building location announced

The University has been talking about plans for a new Kellogg building for a while now, and it is always exciting to see the talk turn specific. A new lakefront building by the Allen Center should be quite the addition to the already very elite School of Management.

Early Decision applications up 22 percent since last year This fall, NU received a record number of early decision applications, as a result of thecombination of NU becoming an increasingly popular first choice school and the belief that seems to exist among high school seniors that it is easier to get into college if you apply early. As of the end of last week, the admissions office had received 2,083 early applications and was expecting more paper applications to come in over the last few days. This number represented a 22 percent increase over last year’s early applicant pool, meaning NU will likely get one of the most competitive groups of applicants ever committed to come here before winter break.

Call for applications for Off-Campus Student Advisory Board After a rather turbulent fall for student-neighbor relations off campus, the Dean of Students’ office is taking a proactive step in soliciting student opinion in addressing this issue. Dean Burgwell Howard announced he will be accepting applications for members student advisory board to deal with off-campus issues and policy going forward. We’re glad to see Howard didn’t give up on engaging student opinion on this issue after the low student attendance at the off-campus town hall and hopefully a committed group of students on this board will help the administration form policies and make decisions that are beneficial to residents, the University, and students.

Common speaking at FMO’s State of the Black Union For Members Only already has a great track record of bringing high-profile and engaging speakers and performers to campus and Common is an awesome continuation of that. Common, a native of Chicago’s Southside, has already visited NU once in his role as a rapper as the 2008 Dillo Day headliner. It will be exciting to see the two-time Grammy winner speak about his role as an activist in the black community through his youth empowerment organization, The Common Ground Foundation.

We are writing as faculty members to express vigorous disagreement with The Daily’s opposition to the Living Wage Campaign. The argument that Northwestern should continue to underpay its poorest workers so that they will receive federal and private assistance for which they will, you claim, otherwise be ineligible is unprincipled and paternalistic. Yet we find the argument that the invisible hand of the market will, in the event of a living wage for all, cause some workers to lose their jobs even more troubling. Northwestern is not an abstract marketplace but a real community. It is run not by an invisible hand but by real people with whom we interact daily. The fate of our workers is up to the administration that employs them. If we, as an economic, intellectual and cultural community, hold our administration to a standard of justice for our most vulnerable members, then our administrators will support that value. If we do not, then they will not. In either case, it is we, rather than an invisible hand, who determine the fate of these members of our community. The Daily Northwestern can editorialize however it likes as to whether all of our workers deserve to be paid a living wage. But to claim that we, as faculty, administrators and paying students at this institution, are powerless to defend economic justice for all within our community is a profound mistake. —Helen Thompson Associate Professor of English

NU’s drop in the Fulbright rankings

Last year NU produced the highest percentage of Fulbright winners of any university in the country with 32 out of 109 applicants winning the prestigious award to 20 out of 111 in 2010. Though we remain a top Fulbright producer (and it is pretty impressive that we’ve been in the top 10 for six years) and the Office of Fellowships says a slight fall from number one is nothing to worry about, we never like to see a setback, especially in something as exciting and high-profile as Fulbright acceptances.

ASG and senior class tailgates before Saturday’s game NU can always use a little more school spirit — especially after last week’s heart wrenching loss to Penn State. The various tailgates this weekend will hopefully keep in order to keep up morale (and attendance) for the last home football game of the season. The ASG tailgate in the Garrett parking lot, assuming it is well attended, should be a good time for one and all while across Sheridan, the senior BYOB tailgate will be a great chance for the 21+ crowd to act like college students in a location that should be inoffensive to the neighbors.

FIGHTIN’

WORDS For years, Iowa dominated Northwestern, running off 21 straight wins. But now, NU’s moreand-more frequent wins have become a thorn in the side of a more-and-more nationally prominent Hawkeyes program, causing the jousting between the teams — and fanbases — to develop into something resembling a rivalry.

Clayborn anchors crushing Iowa D-line All-Big Ten defensive end provides heart of Iowa’s crippling defense By Colin Becht the daily northwestern

With the success of former Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, the ability of a defensive lineman to take over a game has been reestablished. This year, Iowa defensive end Adrian Clayborn has looked to provide further proof. “Every summer, coach gives us a packet to fill out and watch film on these guys, so he gave us Suh this year,” Clayborn said. “Watching those guys play, it really shows you how much work you have to put in because they’re taking on these double teams.” Though Suh is a defensive tackle while Clayborn plays defensive end, both have proved a menace to offensive linemen and quarterbacks alike. “He’s a real big guy, he’s basically the size of a defensive tackle, but he’s playing end,” junior offensive tackle Al Netter said. “He’s one of the quickest guys on the defensive line in the Big Ten. That’s what he does best. He’s very explosive and he’s very powerful, and he moves very quickly side-to-side.” Netter will have the unfortunate task of trying to contain Clayborn, listed at 6-foot-4 and 285 pounds, in the Wildcats’ matchup with the Hawkeyes this weekend. “He’s one of the league’s best and one of the country’s best, so really just in practice you need to focus on finishing,” Netter said. “There’s got to be an extra sense of urgency with everything you do, just really giving that extra effort on every single play in practice so that in the game you can do it as well.”

Though Netter has already had to handle some of the Big Ten’s elite pass rushers, including conference sack leader Ryan Kerrigan of Purdue, he said Clayborn may possess something more. “What makes Clayborn so special is just the fact that he can move so well with how big he is,” Netter said. “There’s other guys that have the same strength as him, but it’s just he has the size and the power to back it up.” After being named first team All-Big Ten last season and winning Most Valuable He’s one of Player in Iowa’s 24-14 the quickest victory over Georgia Tech in the Orange guys on the Bowl, Clayborn said defensive line he hasn’t let any comset in. in the Big Ten. placency “Once you settle That’s what he for something, then you’re not going to does best. He’s reach your goals,” Clayborn said. “If very explosive you want to do your and he’s very best, then you’ve got to prepare the best.” powerful. While Clayborn seems unlikely to Al Netter, match his 11 sacks Offensive tackle from a year ago, his three Big Ten sacks do place him in a tie for 10th best in the conference. He also has a forced fumble and a blocked kick. Coach Pat Fitzgerald said he’s taken notice of Clayborn’s success, calling him “the full package.” “He’s very physical, he’s got great size,” Fitzgerald said. “He’s got great quickness, great hands, technically very, very sound. When he wants to come up the field, he’s got a great swim move.” Though Clayborn undoubtedly possesses

The end: From the defensive end position, senior Adrian Clayborn has emerged as one of the nation’s best: the All-Big Ten player and MVP of Iowa’s Orange Bowl victory is one of the main reasons why Iowa allows only 14.3 points per game — good for 6th in the nation.

tremendous natural talent, he attributes his accomplishments to the work he’s done with his fellow defensive linemen. “We always compete out there in practice,” Clayborn said. “This summer, we competed like crazy in (strength and conditioning) coach (Chris) Doyle’s drills, just trying to be the best, trying to outwork each other. That’s what pushes me.” The talent level is high across the Hawkeyes’

defensive line. Teammate Mike Daniels is tied for fifth in the Big Ten with four sacks and is fifth in the conference in tackles for a loss. All four starters also started last year. “We learned what each other likes,” Clayborn said. “I know with (defensive tackle) Karl (Klug) what he’s comfortable with, and he knows what I’m comfortable with.” colinbecht2013@u.northwestern.edu

Wish Grant-ed for former walk-on guard Offensive lineman Keegan Grant earns a scholarship, enters Senior Day with starting gig By Jonah Rosenblum the daily northwestern Senior guard Keegan Grant could have been on the track and field team at Brown University, but when Northwestern offered him the chance to fulfill his dream of playing Big Ten football as a walk-on, he couldn’t say no. “Northwestern was the first school of the Big Ten to offer me even as a walk-on,” Grant said. “They really spoke to the inner child in me and it was a match made.” Several years later, as Grant prepares for his team’s Senior Day game against Iowa, he has made his dreams a reality, earning a scholarship and the chance to start on Saturdays. “You work for it the entire time, you keep going for it, and when you finally get to the spot, you don’t want to let go so you work even harder,” Grant said. “It’s one of the most gratifying feelings ever to be out on the field and you’re the starter.” Grant’s rise to the starting lineup, however, has hardly been an easy one. “He’s gone through some ups and downs in our system, and to persevere and then earn the starting job again and again and again, it’s a great example for the younger guys,” offensive line coach Adam Cushing said. “This is how it’s supposed to look.” Perseverance and hard work describe Grant’s career, beginning with his arrival on the field as a walk-on player. “All those guys, they were recruited, they wanted them to come up there, and so they’re pretty much set for a couple of years,” Grant said. “As a walk-on, you don’t get that luxury; you have to go out there and prove to the coaches that you deserve to be here and that you deserve to be on scholarship.” Grant proved his worth quickly, appearing in all 12 games as a redshirt freshman, earning a scholarship in 2007. “It’s just like a culmination of all your hard work, all the time you put into it,” Grant said. “It’s one of the greatest feelings ever, it shows you that hard work will be rewarded and if you just stick through things thick

and thin, that something good will happen to you.” But earning a scholarship was hardly a happilyever-after moment for Grant, for his collegiate career still contained more bumps and bruises for him to endure. In 2008, he was slowed with an ankle injury, and then after starting the last six games of the 2009 season, he tore a muscle in his shoulder and found the starting job was no longer his heading into this season. Instead, he had to compete with sophomore guards Brian Mulroe and Neal Deiters for a starting spot. Originally, Mulroe was given the start, while Grant was resigned to the bench. Rather than take it as a slight, Grant reveled in the challenge. “The fact that you know that you have to work twice as hard to get back in the rotation and harder than that to get your spot back really makes the game more enjoyable,” Grant said. Grant took back the starting role when NU played Central Michigan on Sept. 25. With right guard Doug Bartels hampered by injuries, Grant took advantage of the opportunity, keeping a tight hold on the starting job. “You don’t know when an opportunity is going to present itself, you just have to be prepared and he prepared well,” Fitzgerald said. “He’s taking advantage of it.” As much of a story as Grant has to tell, coaches and players say that it takes him a while to open up. “The word is kind of hard to explain; at times he’s kind of a quiet guy but when he comes out of his shell, he’s a heck of guy,” junior center Ben Burkett said. “He’s always got your back. He’s someone I always enjoyed playing next to and he’s going to be missed.” And while Grant may be quiet in demeanor, his story speaks for itself. “To go from being that to a scholarship player and a starter is what college football is about,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “He’s a success story.” jonahrosenblum2012@u.northwestern.edu

Hawkeyes bring Stanzi, standout defense to NU

Northwestern is hoping history repeats itself this weekend against Iowa. Last season, the Wildcats entered their matchup with the No. 4 and undefeated Hawkeyes desperately needing a win after losing two of their previous three, including a defeat the week before to Penn State. In that game against the Nittany Lions, NU was outscored 21-0 in the fourth quarter. A date with Iowa brought much-needed momentum to the Cats, as they defeated the Hawkeyes 17-10, beginning a run of three straight victories. This season, the Cats enter their Senior Day matchup with No. 13 Iowa having lost three of their last four, including last week’s loss to Penn State in which they gave up 35 unanswered points. Coach Pat Fitzgerald is convinced his team will recover adequately from last week’s collapse. “We’ll get right back to it,” Fitzgerald said. “There’s no magic pill or solution when you don’t execute or tackle the way you’re capable of. You just have to focus on it, attack it and have a great attitude. Our guys will do that.” Iowa comes into Ryan Field with their phenomenal-as-usual defense. The Hawkeyes are giving up just 14.3 points per game, which ranks second in the Big Ten. Last week, they held Indiana’s explosive offense to just 13 points. The Hawkeyes are particularly ruthless stopping the run as they have surrendered just 85.2 rushing yards per game this season. Only Ohio State has put up better numbers, and the two teams are well ahead of the rest of the conference. And NU will once again be shorthanded in the running game Saturday. Junior tailback Jacob Schmidt will miss his third straight game with an ankle injury, meaning redshirt freshman Mike Trumpy will once again be the starter. Trumpy recorded just 43 rushing yards last week against Penn State. Iowa has also put up impressive numbers on offense, scoring 32.3 points per game. The Hawkeyes have put up 30 or more points in three of five conference matchups.

, 9 Ê

Last week, Iowa rode a stellar running game to victory over Indiana, as Marcus Coker filled in for an injured Adam Robinson and racked up 129 rushing yards. The team, as a whole, recorded 5.3 yards per carry, and Robinson is expected to play this week. “They come in every year and always have a great offensive line and a great running game,” sophomore defensive end Quentin Williams said. “It’s going to be a challenge.” It will be a particularly big challenge for an NU defense that gave up 260 rushing yards last weekend. “Whoever they put back there, they run hard and that’s one thing we respect,” senior linebacker Quentin Davie said. “We just need to stop it, we just have to stay in our gaps and do our job. There’s nothing hard to it. There’s nothing magical.” Davie said his team is also on the lookout for Iowa’s play-action passing game, which the Hawkeyes have used to great effect this season. “When you see that it’s play-action, you need to get out and run like hell to get back with the receivers,” Davie said. “They do it well and with any team that does something well, you need to practice on it.” And when they do go back to pass, the Hawkeyes are fortunate to have Heisman Trophy candidate Ricky Stanzi throwing the ball. Stanzi has thrown 20 touchdowns this season against just three interceptions. NU has defeated Iowa in four of the teams’ previous five matchups, and according to Fitzgerald, that success has been due largely to turnover margin. “Well, we go back and look at everything in the offseason and the only thing I could put my finger on is we’ve been pretty successful in the turnover ratio,” Fitzgerald said. Yet, the Cats will be hard-pressed to repeat that success the time around, with the Hawkeyes second in the conference with a plus-12 turnover margin. After Stanzi tossed 15 interceptions last season, Iowa’s offense has been near-perfect this season, turning the ball over just six times. jonahrosenblum2012@u.northwestern.edu

Ebert has been a standout by any definition of the term playing out of the slot for Northwestern. The junior leads the conference in receiving yards, and is well on his way to NU’s first 1,000-yard receiving season since D’Wayne Bates left school in 1997. But Iowa has 14 interceptions, good for the second-most in the Big Ten, including three by standout junior cornerback Prater. If the Hawkeyes can hold Ebert under 90 yards for only the second time in Big Ten play, NU will have to find another target for most of its offense.

For an NU fan’s perspective, take Dan Persa’s passing numbers, add a few more touchdowns, and you’ve got Ricky Stanzi’s numbers. NU has had success in recent weeks when they’ve been able to apply pressure to the quarterback — for example, when a delayed blitz by Hunter Bates led to a fumble by Penn State’s Rob Bolden last week — but that success has quickly fallen apart as soon as NU’s pressure has abated. The Cats will need to make Stanzi think fast, and no better person than Browne, who leads the team in sacks and tackles for a loss, to bring the heat.

Burning Questions Can the Cats hold a lead?

It’s a little presumptuous to assume NU will jump out to an early lead against the No. 13 Hawkeyes, but, that’s exactly what they did against an even higher-ranked Michigan State team, as well as Penn State last week. However, despite playing better than their opponents right from the kickoff, NU managed to collapse shortly after halftime in both matchups, and ended up losing both. How much would NU have to lead by for Cats fans to begin feeling comfortable?

Meanwhile, they go up against a terrifying defensive line, anchored by defensive end Adrian Clayborn and defensive tackle Mike Daniels, who leads the Hawkeyes with four sacks. Can NU’s front line buy Persa enough time to stay on his feet long enough for him to find receivers, or will he be forced to work on the run — and off his back — for the entire game?

NU, Iowa spark rivalry — or not With wins in four of the last five, NU has dug under Iowa’s skin

Oceanique

Daily file photo

Trial by fire: Dan Persa had never started a game when he was forced into action last year against No. 4 Iowa. He played the majority of NU’s snaps en route to a 17-10 victory over a then-undefeated Hawkeye team. The win was NU’s second straight comeback victory over Iowa in two years, both on the road. This year, the Cats will look to extend their winning streak against Iowa to three at Ryan Field.

Gaining ground

Since 1995, the Wildcats have won eight of 13 matchups and four of the last five against Iowa, much to the chagrin of the Hawkeyes. “Northwestern is a rival insofar as the team beats Iowa far more than it ought to, and usually at a greater cost to the Hawkeyes’ season than Iowa victories over Northwestern,� Jacobi wrote. “That is because Northwestern does not have good seasons. It has one-game seasons, and those are

against Iowa.� Although NU has won or shared three Big Ten titles since 1995, Jacobi wrote that he wouldn’t consider those productive seasons because of the Cats’ continuing bowl-win drought. “Yes, Northwestern plays bowl games sometimes,� Jacobi wrote. “But clearly those do not matter to the team, otherwise it would actually win one ever.� Jacobi wrote that any talk of a rivalry between

NU and Iowa would die down once the Hawkeyes built up a winning streak over the Cats. “At that point, the world will have been restored to balance, and Iowa fans will focus solely on Minnesota, Iowa State, and Nebraska as rivals,� he wrote. “Why doesn’t Northwestern form a rivalry with DePaul? DePaul would be a lovely fit for Northwestern.� According to Lake The Posts, the disdain Jacobi demonstrates toward NU is reflective of the Iowa fan base’s aversion to judging the Cats on anything other than “the NU dark ages.� “It is still seen as unacceptable to lose to Northwestern,� he said. “The vitriol has Northwestern heightened with each does not have passing loss to Northwestern. I guess you good seasons. It could say that Northwestern fans feel like has one-game Iowa fans are sore losseasons, and ers and get so outrageously pained when those are against Northwestern wins it Iowa. makes it that much more enjoyable.�

“

By Colin Becht the daily northwestern It may sound like something devout Zen Buddhist and basketball coach Phil Jackson might ask, but is a rivalry really a rivalry if only one team admits that it exists? That’s the situation between Northwestern and Iowa, a matchup riddled with a mutual hatred yet an unreciprocated sense of import. “This is a rivalry,� senior wide receiver Sidney Stewart said. “The coaches and the players, we all know that it is a rivalry. They’ve definitely beat that into our head.� However, Adam Jacobi of the Iowa fan blog Black Heart Gold Pants wrote that the same sentiment hasn’t exactly spread through the Hawkeyes or their fan base. “A proper rivalry includes a level of personal involvement from fans, and interaction between the two fan bases,� Jacobi wrote in an e-mail. “Sadly, there is no such thing as a Northwestern fan. The primary constituent in the stands of a non-important Northwestern game is an empty bleacher seat.� Rivalry or not, Jacobi makes clear the animosity that exists between the two programs. This began under former NU coach Gary Barnett, according to NU blogger Lake The Posts. “It’s no real secret as to why Cats fans enjoy beating Iowa so much,� wrote Lake The Posts, who asked that his real name not be printed for business conflict reasons. “It starts with Gary Barnett.� According to Lake The Posts, former Iowa coach Hayden Fry said to Barnett after an Iowa victory over NU, “I hope my guys didn’t hurt your boys too badly today.� “That’s something coach Barnett instilled in me,� said coach Pat Fitzgerald, who played under

Lake The Posts wrote that in the latest Iowa losses to NU, Hawkeyes fans have pushed the hostility between the two teams to a new level. “The recent ‘trend’ among Hawkeyes fans online has been to accuse Fitz and the Cats of intentionally injuring (former running back) Shonn Greene and (quarterback) Ricky Stanz,� Lake The Posts wrote. “You can have all the fun you want, but if you assault NU’s character — something the fan base cherishes — then watch out.� The Cats defeated Iowa each of the past two years while also injuring Greene in 2008 and Stanzi in 2009. “Iowa fans will not characterize this as a rivalry and actually dismiss the last two Cats wins as flukes citing (Greene’s) injury and (Stanzi’s) injury, yet they interestingly omit the fact we played last year with two injured QBs,� Lake The Posts wrote. “Most Iowa fans feel NU fans are forcing the rivalry, but the pain they’ve felt in our recent success is undeniable. I really don’t care if they consider it a rivalry or not. I just want to beat them every season.� The Cats are currently experiencing their most

The current players for NU and Iowa are less concerned with past feuds between the fan bases than with this weekend’s game. “They’ve had success because they’ve played well and they’ve beaten us,� Stanzi said. “We can live with that. That’s part of football. Are we happy about it? No, we’d love to win those games. But I don’t carry a grudge with them. I don’t think they’re bad kids.� For the second straight year, the Cats have a chance to spoil Iowa’s Rose Bowl hopes. The Hawkeyes are in a four-way tie at the top of the Big Ten, whereas Iowa entered last year’s contest with NU a perfect 9-0 and in contention for a national championship before the Cats rained on their parade. “We spoiled them as No. 4 (in the nation),� senior linebacker Nate Williams said. “They’re probably not too happy about that, probably a little bitter.� colinbecht2013@u.northwestern.edu

recent wave of success against the Hawkeyes in which NU has won three straight games at Iowa’s Kinnick Stadium. “We need to play better,â€? Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. “In ’06, we didn’t show up and they did. It’s a matter of record. Going into that game, they had not won a Big Ten game yet. ‌ They spanked us.â€? Jacobi insisted NU’s winning streak had less to do with either team than pure chance. “A die can be rolled as a six three times in a row,â€? he wrote. “It would make no sense to try to explain such an occurrence as the logical and inevitable result of mental toughness of anybody involved, or that the die ‘simply wanted it more.’ It is a rare and random effect of luck.â€? Lake The Posts wrote that sometimes a history of success against a program can fuel future success, even if teams seem outmatched. “There are head-to-head confidence factors that programs have,â€? he wrote. “The Illini always play Ohio State well, Iowa owns Penn State and we ‘always’ — read since 1995 — play Iowa well. I don’t fight it, I embrace it.â€? Lake The Posts wrote that he hopes the Cats’ success against the Hawkeyes will eventually change how Iowa fans view NU. “NU fans are only looking for respect and when you earn it by beating a team to the point it becomes a trend, you’d hope the stereotypes about snooty rich kid school stuff get old,â€? he wrote. “Kind of like farm and pig jokes.â€?

PeaceAble Cities Evanston working to host forum with Evanston Public Library next week By Alex Kane Rudansky the daily northwestern

officer Loyce Spells, who is also a crime prevention specialist. Both Rodger and Spells emphasized the organization’s goal of establishing a new “we� for the community. “We need to tear down the things that have divided us,� said Spells, also a founding board member of PeaceAble Cities EvanNobody ston. “If it happens should wake in Evanston, it happened to you.� up in the The organization is not workmorning afraid ing to create a new or worrying utopian community, Rodger said. Rather, whether or the goal is to make not they will a utopia out of the existing situation be treated and not to work exclusively with respectfully. those who already Eleanor Jo agree that change is needed, she said. Rodger, “People say you PeaceAble Cities can’t eliminate violence,� Rodger said. “In response, I ask, how much is okay? One battered spouse a week, a month or a year?� Rodger said she believes Evanston’s size and set of values make it the ideal place to work toward complete peace. Her ultimate goal is to make violence obsolete in Evanston and create a city of respect, kindness and courtesy, she said. “There is a lack of peace in some people’s experience living in Evanston,� Rodger said. “Nobody should wake up in the morning afraid or worrying whether or not they will be treated respectfully.�

Eleanor Jo Rodger wants to hear your voice. The acting executive director and co-founder of PeaceAble Cities Evanston is working in collaboration with the Evanston Public Library, 1703 Orrington Ave., to host a forum next week about the creation of a completely peaceable city by 2020. The Nov. 20 event will be an intergenerational conversation where residents can share their concerns about the community and visions of a peaceable city, she said. “Everyone who lives in Evanston has a unique experience of what it is to live (here),� said Rodger, also a chaplain for the Evanston Police Department. “For some that’s a good experience, and for others it’s a challenging experience. We want to hear it all and work from there to fix it.� Rodger chose the library as the location of the event because of the library’s role as a community facilitator, she said. Library Director Mary Johns said the library is an ideal place for this type of conversation because it fosters the exchange of ideas in a neutral manner while representing the diversity of the community. The year-old PeaceAble Cities Evanston is not looking to become a new community service provider, Rodger said. The organization is working to support and publicize existing community services and resources while assessing what services are still needed in the city, she said. PeaceAble Cities Evanston is taking form just as crime rates in Evanston are declining. Rates of robbery, theft and arson have all decreased by more than 20 percent within the past year, according to an EPD crime index report. This decrease is in line with the main goal of PeaceAble Cities Evanston, which is to create a community of peace and nonviolence, said EPD

Local black history organization opens research center, museum By Katie Prentiss the daily northwestern

After years of uncovering documents about black history from Northwestern’s archives and other Illinois suburbs, the local black history organization Shorefront will open a new museum and research center this weekend. The grand opening of the Legacy Center, 2010 Dewey Ave., on Saturday will feature a program including presentations by local playwright Ebony Joy, poet Parneshia Jones and artist Alan Hyde. “There’s a lot of chatter about it, so we’re nervous about it, but also hopeful that we’ll have a large turnout,� said Dino Robinson,, Shorefront’s founder. “We hope to have the problem of having not enough room.� Robinson founded Shorefront in 1995 to collect and preserve documentation about black history from Evanston, Lake Forest , Ill., and Glencoe, Ill., he said. The organization, which became an official nonprofit in 2002, also aims to educate the community about the documentation it finds. Robinson is currently working on uncovering information about past segregation in Evanston schools. Northwestern archivist Kevin Leonard, who has been working with Robinson for years, said he looks forward to the museum’s opening. “It’s a banner day for Shorefront and for Evanston

to have a resource like that,� Leonard said. “He’s done a fantastic job scouring the town for important records that were in danger of being lost.� Robinson said opening the Legacy Center has been Shorefront’s ultimate goal. “The history center is a culmination of a dream that Dino and many others have had for a long time,� said Janice Hack, the executive director of the Lake ForestLake Bluff Historical Society. Hack has worked closely with Robinson on uncovering important documents regarding black history in Lake Forest. The center will be open Thursday through Saturday for people to research and view the organization’s past projects. The center will also house programming that Shorefront has been doing for several years, including the Legacy Keepers, a program that teaches middle school students how to restore and collect historical documents. Since 2005, when the program started, it has had no permanent home, operating out of schools and other local organizations. Opening the center is only one of many contributions Robinson has made to Evanston, Leonard said. “His contributions to future scholarship are very significant,� Leonard said. “He’s a gem, a pleasure to deal with, a great asset to the Evanston community.� kprentiss@u.northwestern.edu

transit and schools, how this might be funded was never resolved in the General Assembly.� However, the CTA is making progress on some reconstruction programs. In early 2011, the CTA plans to finish reconstruction of the Cermak-Chinatown station, where an entrance was damaged in an accident in April 2008, according to Taylor. The reconstructed station, funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, will include a new stationhouse, escalator, bike racks, lighting, landscaping and public art. The Graduate Student Association sent a letter to the city of Evanston last year expressing concern about the “state of disrepair� and “poor conditions� at the Foster and Noyes stations on behalf of NU graduate students, who are given a U-Pass allowing unlimited rides and commute frequently on the El. The GSA appreciates the effort the CTA has put into rehabilitation of its facilities, but the stations along the Purple Line still need improvement, said Kate Bjorkman, president of the association. “It would be nice if we weren’t rained on standing at Noyes, or Foster for that matter,� Bjorkman said.

night. More importantly though, NU got some productivity from its bench with non-starters combining for 23 of its 91 points on the evening. After relying heavily on its starters last season, mainly Thompson, who was on the court 92.3 percent of the time, Carmody came under fire for not giving his big guns a break — something that may have contributed to NU’s underwhelming performance in last season’s final stretch. But Carmody echoed Cobb’s sentiment when he said that NU will still look to Thompson to dictate not just the offense but also the tenor of the team. “We should be confident and I sense that we are,” Carmody said. “It comes from Thompson, really. You know Shurna and Drew and Luka (Mirkovic), those guys have played a lot, but you always look to the guy with the ball who’s running the team.” katherinedriessen@u.northwestern.edu Stepping up: Sophomore forward Drew Crawford made an immediate impact for Northwestern last season, earning Big Ten Freshman of the Year.

building would be in the “hundreds of millions of dollars.” Because the building will take the place of a parking lot, the school is considering several alternate options for parking requirements for the new building, including underground parking, Cubbage said. Kellogg’s new building will open up the Jacobs Center for an alternate use. Schapiro said it makes sense to re-purpose the building for social sciences departments left wanting due to a dearth in office space on campus. However, such offices would not dominate the entire building. The Associated Student Government’s New Student Center Initiative has suggested a parking lot adjacent to Jacobs as a possible site for a replacement for Norris University Center. “(The Jacobs Center is) right there,” Schapiro said. “We’d be crazy not to seriously think about converting it to another student center.” Jacobs has an auditorium and other spaces that could be re-configured for student use. Schapiro also suggested making more improvements to Norris. “It makes a lot more sense to re-purpose some of Norris and to really invest in making Jacobs the kind of place that it can be given its location and given the fact that it already has a lot of nice aspects to it,” he said. Schapiro said he was “encouraged” by renovations Bienen put into Norris in summer 2009 at a cost of about $750,000. “I’m not somebody who thinks we should just board up Norris,” he said. “Some people say that’s putting lipstick on a pig, but I’m not really sure that is, in fact, the case.” lark@u.northwestern.edu

With Howard and Burns actively working to improve relations, Schapiro said the University is making an active effort to find solutions. The new advisory board is another step toward that goal. “I don’t necessarily like talking at students. I prefer to speak with them.” Howard said. “Although people have received some ‘nastygrams’ from me this quarter, in general my style is to speak with students. “Let’s have a conversation and let’s talk about what we need to do,” he said.

No. 24 NU faces fellow fifth-place OSU and Purdue By Dan Ryan the daily northwestern Entering last weekend’s action against Illinois and Wisconsin, No. 24 Northwestern needed one more key win against a top-25 opponent to essentially clinch a spot in December’s NCAA Tournament. They got much more than that, crushing the then-No. 6 Illini in three sets and looking like a team that had a chance to win the tournament, not just make it. “Our win against Illinois was just a great win,� senior setter Elyse Glab said. “We played amazing volleyball, and so did they. We just came out on top.� After such a complete performance, it seemed like the team was poised to make a run in the final seven games of the season and carry some momentum into postseason play. The very next night, however, the Wildcats were tripped up by the unranked Badgers, showcasing the inconsistencies they experienced in a tough November despite strong play from the team throughout the month. “There were times during the Wisconsin game where we knew the game plan but just couldn’t quite execute to the level that we needed to,� senior outside hitter Christina Kaelin said. Instead of collecting a defining pair of wins to vault themselves up the coaches’ poll, NU earned a split, and the weekend was a microcosm of an up-and-down season for the Cats. The only thing that has remained constant has been their ranking; the Cats have been at 24th in the poll for over a month despite having both a five-game losing streak and the upset of Illinois during that span. Part of this stagnation may be attributed to the toughness of the conference. Although not as topheavy as the Pac-10, the Big Ten is a very deep conference where any of nine teams could make the tournament. The Cats are currently tied for fifth with Indiana, Ohio State and Purdue. “Only so many teams from the Big Ten are going to make the tournament,� Kaelin said. “Nothing’s guaranteed.� It just so happens that NU plays away matches against the Hoosiers and Boilermakers this weekend in what should be one of the more important weekends

of the Cats’ season thus far. “It’s real big,� coach Keylor Chan said. “All these teams we’re playing now, we’re all right in the middle. We’re all tied for fifth. If you can get those wins, it’s going to push you above them, and conversely, if they beat us, we’re going to fall below. I think it doesn’t get any more important than this weekend.� Although winning games is of primary importance for NU, the final six games of the season also provide an opportunity for the team to iron out its flaws and build up some momentum as the Cats eye their first NCAA appearance since the 2005 season. “There’s something to say about a team that finishes strong in their conference at the end of the year,� Kaelin said. “It kind of rolls over to the tournament. We’re just trying to take one game at a time and continue strong play. Hopefully that will roll over.� danielryan2014@u.northwestern.edu

you have to make sure you have some depth, and more than anything you need to get some confidence,� McKeown said. If the Cats want to find success on the road, Jaeschke suggests they play like they did in the second half of their win against Wisconsin in Madison on Jan. 31 . “We had a poor start but we came together in the second half and played as a team,� she said. On the other hand, the Cats will have to avoid beating themselves and blowing large leads like they did against Minnesota. NU had a 16-point lead at one point in Minneapolis before losing 73-65. “We just have to finish games on the road, and having three seniors really helps with that,� McKeown said.

Despite all the expectations, the Cats are not buying into the NCAA-or-bust way of thinking. “Everyone’s mindset is to win the Big Ten and get to the tourney,� Hackney said. “We just need to take it one step at a time.� The Cats hosted UW-Platteville in an exhibition match on Oct. 31 and won handily 85-30. NU was led by Orban, who scored a team-high 22 points, and junior forward Allison Mocchi, who had a team-high 10 rebounds and six assists. Jaeschke had 17 points and three rebounds in her 26 minutes of play. “We’ve got to give people minutes and get people used to playing with each other,� McKeown said. “If someone didn’t play well then they can use it as a gauge to figure out what they need to work on.�

This is my last season, so I definitely want to go out with a bang. — Point guard Michael Thompson, on his wish to make the NCAA Tournament

Thompson takes Cobb under wing NU tips off season Friday against Northern Illinois By Katherine Driessen the daily northwestern The upside of being the only freshman on an otherwise veteran squad is that there is never a dearth of experience. Though for newcomer JerShon Cobb, one of the most highly touted recruits in program history, there was never any doubt as to whom he should look up to — figuratively at least. Senior point guard Michael Thompson was the obvious choice. “I really identify with Juice,” Cobb said, calling Thompson by his nickname. “He’s been here for four years and he’s been starting ever since day one. Whatever he tells me to do, I will probably do it — he’s the right guy to listen to. We’re kind of alike.” It’s a comparison that is fairly intuitive — they are both guards with deft ball handling and a gritty sort of efficiency — as well as a telling one. When Thompson entered the program three seasons ago, he came in with the explicit intention of leading NU to its first NCAA Tournament appearance and changing the composition of a less-than-dynamic program. In his freshman year he started all 30 games and became the cog in coach Bill Carmody’s teamoriented Princeton offense , doling out a freshman-record 128 assists .

With Thompson at the backcourt helm, NU combined for a back-toback season high of 37 wins in its last two seasons and came dangerously close to notching its first-ever tournament bid with big wins over Purdue and Illinois last season. “This is my last season so I definitely want to go out with a bang,” Thompson said. “I came to Northwestern to be a part of that history of making the tournament for the first time so it’s a lot of pressure obviously.” Cue Cobb, whose goal of not just helping NU reach the tournament but also leading them deep into contention, sounds a lot less like a pipe dream than when Thompson entered the program in 2007 with similar designs. Thanks to that shared ambitious drive, Thompson has assumed the role of mentoring Cobb. “Both on and off the court I’m trying take him under my wing and teach him everything I’ve learned in the Princeton offense,” Thompson said. “Off the court I’m just trying to stay on top of him and make sure that he’s focused on the entire season and on staying on top of his academics.” Cobb, who will replace graduated Jeremy Nash at the top of the 1-3-1 defense in the backcourt, fills out a squad that has more depth than in

NU’s Big Ten tourney comes to a close with 3 goals in 16 minutes By Katherine Driessen the daily northwestern Northwestern jumped out to an early lead that it could not sustain in its season-ending 3-1 loss at Penn State in the opening round of the Big Ten Tournament on Thursday. Penn State’s three-goal rally in the course of the final 16 minutes unraveled the 1-0 edge that NU held for the better part of the game. For the Wildcats the second-half lag was brutal, although not altogether unfamiliar — in their last two Big Ten matchups of the season the Cats claimed early leads before conceding them consecutive goals in the second half. “We played as hard as we could,” coach Tim Lenahan said. “That’s three straight games where we took the lead and just ran out of gas.” NU’s momentum gave out just as the team needed it most. Snatching a tournament championship was NU’s only truly viable means of earning its fifth consecutive bid in the NCAA Tournament. And for 74 minutes, it looked like Daily file photo by Mackenzie McCluer NU might knock out the first of the Glimmer of hope: Reed Losee’s first-half goal gave NU a chance to win to three wins that stood in its way.

factor that turned what could have been a disastrous year when they lost Coble to a foot injury last year into a program-high 20-win season. It’s a performance that NU will look to build on against Northern Illinois Friday night as it begins its

non-conference slate. “It’s very important to get out to a good start in the non-conference season like we did last season, and we have to build on that,” Thompson See MEN’S BBALL, page 9

NU opens up at home against Dartmouth, LSU By Josh Walfish the daily northwestern Northwestern will hit the floor Friday night to begin what they hope is the culmination of a long rebuilding process for the women’s basketball program. The Wildcats have steadily increased their win total over the last three years, winning doubledigit games last season for the first time since the 1998-1999 season . The program also made its first postseason appearance since 1997, advancing to the third round of the Woman’s National Invitation Tournament before falling to Michigan . Senior center Amy Jaeschke credited the turnaround to coach Joe McKeown, who is entering his third season at the helm. The season before he was hired, Jaeschke’s freshman year, the Cats won only five games. “Coach completely changed the culture here,” Jaeschke said. “It is now more competitive and losing isn’t acceptable.” NU kicks off its regular season with home games on Friday night against Dartmouth and Sunday afternoon against LSU. The Cats return four starters from last year’s squad with Jaeschke, senior guard Beth Marshall, junior forward Brittany Orban and sophomore forward Kendall Hackney. McKeown expects those four to play a big part both on and off the court. “The obvious stuff is off the court like leadership and helping new players and younger players adjust both to college basketball and Northwestern,” McKeown said.

“But on the court we expect to play our type of basketball and do the right things.” Jaeschke is one of the most important starters returning from last year’s team. She has led the team all three years in points and rebounds, and last season finished sixth in the country with 3.2 blocks per game. She has garnered a lot of attention this offseason, being named to the Preseason All-Big Ten team, to the watch list for the Naismith Award for the best woman’s college basketball player and as a candidate for the Lowe’s Senior Class Award. Despite all the attention, Jaeschke has kept herself focused on the task at hand. “Being a part of the team, you’re out there every day to make myself and my teammates better,” she said. One of the main things NU will need to fix to take the next step is its record on the road. The Cats struggled to the tune of 2-7 away from Welsh-Ryan Arena last season in Big Ten play. “If you want to win on the road, you have to make sure you have See WOMEN’S BBALL, page 10
