City, police prepare for Homecoming crowds
Homecoming

GAMEDAY Crew set up the stage Thursday for ESPN’s “College GameDay,” which will broadcast from the north section of the Lakefill at 8 a.m. Saturday. University officials have spent the week preparing for the show and other Homecoming weekend events.
As Northwestern gears up for Homecoming weekend, Evanston officials are optimistic they have the best-laid plans to deal with large crowds and off-campus partying. The city expects thousands of visitors for the festivities, which start early Friday morning when ESPN radio show “Mike & Mike” broadcasts from Deering Meadow. On Saturday morning, ESPN college football preview show “College GameDay” will take over the Lakefill before NU plays Ohio State in a nationally televised matchup later that night at Ryan Field. Ald. Jane Grover (7th) said four police forces — University Police, the Evanston Police Department, the Wilmette Police Department
and Illinois State Police — will be on patrol throughout the weekend. “Every detail and every minute is planned,” Grover said. “As the week has unfolded, it seems to be going really well.” During Wildcat Welcome, some Evanston residents complained about more off-campus partying than usual. However, Grover said the number of citations issued to students has decreased overall, and she hopes it will stay that way this weekend. “They have in some ways set the reset button,” Grover said. “With all the events going on, I hope students have a good weekend in a way that allow all residents to have a good weekend.” John Walsh, president of the Central Street Neighbors Association, said most neighbors are » See evanston prep, page 11
University steps up security for ESPN’s ‘College GameDay’ broadcast By Ally Mutnick
daily senior staffer @allymutnick
With “College GameDay” returning to Northwestern for the first time in nearly 20 years, University officials are working to increase security and coordinate planning to help campus celebrate the Homecoming weekend events. ESPN’s “GameDay” will broadcast
from 8-11 a.m. from the northern section of the Lakefill near Lakeside Field, where crews set up the stage Thursday. The show, which chose NU as its site Sept. 28, is one of two special broadcasts on campus this weekend focusing on Saturday’s matchup of the Wildcats and the Ohio State Buckeyes, who are both undefeated. Weekend events also include the Homecoming parade and pep rally and NU’s reunion weekend. “I think a lot of people had this
weekend circled on their calendar even before the season started,” said Paul Kennedy, spokesman for NU’s athletic department. “It’s the perfect storm of attention.” Related NU departments, ranging from Facilities Management to Student Affairs, have had joint meetings all week to prepare. They discussed topics including reserving parking, reviewing emergency procedures and prepping tents, lighting and electricity for the
weekend. About the first 600 students to arrive for “GameDay” can stand in the fenced-in area, called the “pit,” behind the stage, in direct line of the broadcast. Kennedy said students are encouraged to arrive by 5 a.m. and the pit will open between 5 and 6 a.m. The athletic department is discouraging students from camping out, and ESPN security may not allow it, Kennedy said. Staff in University Relations and the
athletic department have been in contact with ESPN. Both are trying to give NU students first access to the limited spots behind the “GameDay” stage, Kennedy said. Breakfast and T-shirts will be available by Lakeside Field. The ESPN staff is well-trained in handling crowds and will be able to choose 600 fans to enter the pit, said Ryan Chenault, associate director of marketing » See GAMEDAY, page 11
New Subway arrives in Norris Central Street earns national recognition By Joseph Diebold
daily senior staffer @josephdiebold
Northwestern, it’s time for a $5 footlong. Subway, installed in Norris University Center during the summer and early part of Fall Quarter, opened with a soft launch at 11 a.m. Thursday. A grand opening is planned for later in the quarter, administrators said. Several students were lined up before the doors officially opened, and a steady stream of customers came through on the restaurant’s inaugural day. Medill sophomore Lucas Matney was the first customer to receive a sandwich. The 11th iteration of the national sandwich shop in Evanston replaced Windy City Deli, nuSushi and Big Ten Cafe in the Norris food court. Norris executive director Kelly Schaefer said administrators heard feedback from students, who wanted a low-cost, “healthy” option in the student center. “When we did all of our research and gathered our data, we compiled all that to find that students wanted a branded concept that was healthy and affordable,” Schaefer said. “We’ve got the great Frontera concept which is organic and local

at a bit higher of a price point for those great ingredients, but then here we have another option for students to choose from.” McCormick senior Jerome Jeevarajan’s spicy Italian footlong was one of the first made at the new location. “I think the pricing’s probably more competitive since it’s an outside company,” Jeevarajan said. “I feel like it’s something that more people would be up for more often.” McCormick graduate student Oliver Weisser, fresh BLT in hand, said having a national chain in Norris will likely improve nuCuisine’s bottom line, but he misses the friendly service offered by the

workers at the former deli. “It’s probably faster and more organized, but I kind of liked the little sandwich shop that was there before,” Weisser said. “The ladies would take their time and you could talk with them and chat with them and now it’s just like a factory. So it’s faster, more volume, they can probably make more money, but it’s less personal.” Sodexo spokesman Jason Sophian said that though Evanston already has Subway as a dining option, the new location offers students unprecedented convenience. » See SUBWAY, page 12
The American Planning Association on Friday named Evanston’s Central Street neighborhood one of the best in the country, applauding its civic activism, unique businesses and lakefront amenities. The Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit included the north-Evanston corridor as the only location in the Chicago area on its annual list of “Great Neighborhoods.” The neighborhood centers on Central Street between the lakefront and Evanston’s western border. City officials and neighborhood leaders are expected to announce the national award during a 3 p.m. news conference at Independence Park. “Central Street is indeed a special place, not just to those who call it home, but to all Evanstonians,” Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl said in a news release. “We are happy to receive this recognition and to showcase the extraordinary neighborhood.” The APA said the Central Street area
is “not a typical college neighborhood,” despite its proximity to Ryan Field and the Northwestern campus. The neighborhood is also a “foodie’s paradise” and a go-to destination for eclectic shopping, according to the APA. The APA commended the neighborhood’s “long history of planning,” dating back to its mapping and platting in the 17th and 19th centuries, respectively. Today, the neighborhood maintains that legacy with wide bike lanes and savvy traffic patterns, the APA said. “By weaving together its many assets — a lakeside locale, niche retail, college sports and active recreation opportunities, and transit options — Central Street emerges as a colorful and attractive hometown, college town and regional destination,” APA CEO Paul Farmer said in the news release. Ald. Jane Grover (7th), whose ward includes about half of Central Street in the city, thanked “all of Evanston” for making the national accolade possible. “This is an award for everyone who has made Central Street a destination, » See CENTRAL STREET, page 12

Developers to build luxury high rise By Edward Cox
daily senior staffer @EdwardCox16
Developers will break ground Tuesday on what is touted as the first luxury rental apartment complex in downtown Evanston. The development will consist of a row of 12 town homes in front of high-rise apartments located at 1881 Oak Ave. and 1890 Maple Ave. The twin high-rise apartment complex, named E2, includes a medley of studios and multi-bedroom apartments that will be connected by a four-story structure with space for parking. Fifield Companies and Carroll Properties are backing the $148 million project, which will include 356 units. Carroll Properties owner Robert King purchased the vacant lot at 1881 Oak Ave. in 2005, envisioning condominium high rises with 10,000 square feet of retail space. After the real estate market collapsed and the plan to build a Trader Joe’s on 1890 Maple Ave. fell through, King partnered with Fifield Companies and started planning for apartment high rises. “Rental housing is now considered to be an appropriate lifestyle. It’s not just for students. It’s for people of all ages,� said Steven Fifield, the developer
of Fifield Companies. “Apartments are more likely to have greater amenities and better finishes than condominiums that were built five years ago.� Throughout the process of approving amendments to the original building plans, Ald. Ann Rainey (8th) and Ald. Peter Braithwaite (2nd) had been the strongest Rental advocates of the 2nd housing is now Ward development. City Council passed the considered amended building plans 7-2 in January. to be an Fifield said he hopes appropriate the luxury apartments lifestyle. will attract young professionals, empty nesters Steve Fifield, developer of Fifield and recent Northwestern graduates. Companies The apartment complex will also include a theater, spa and half-size basketball court. The parking structure will be topped with a deck with a view of downtown Evanston, Fifield said. Both developers are considering leasing retail space in the building to a yoga studio. If those talks are unsuccessful, they will seek a stable tenant such as a restaurant, Fifield said.

Authorities are investigating an apartment fire Tuesday night near Main Street. At about 8:30 p.m., the Evanston fire department responded to the blaze in a 45-year-old resident’s unit in the 800 block of Hinman Avenue, according to police. The fire happened under “suspicious circumstances,� Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said. An accelerant was used. Police and fire officials are looking into the incident.
Three men attack, rob Evanston resident
An Evanston man was hit with a metal pipe, beaten and robbed early Wednesday morning near the Chicago border, according to police. Three men attacked the 32-year-old resident after he left the Howard Street Chicago Transit Authority station at about 4 a.m., Parrott said. While the resident was waiting at a cab stand, one of the three men struck him in the leg with the pipe from behind while the other two punched and kicked him. Parrott said the men took $150 and an ID

new digs Developers are constructing a twin high-rise rental apartment complex in downtown Evanston, which they say is the first high-rise being constructed in the area since the economic downturn.
In the second story of the high rise at 1881 Oak St., the developers are planning to lease office space to a business such as a medical clinic. Fifield said the developers will begin pre-leasing the homes three months before completing construction. The townhomes will rent for $3,200 a month and should be the first to sell, Fifield said. The apartments, depending on their relative size, will range from $1,250 to $4,000, he said. “People want to live in downtown Evanston because it’s an urban, hip kind of lifestyle,� Fifield said. edwardcox2011@u.northwestern.edu

The three men were all wearing blue jeans, while one was wearing a white T-shirt and another one a red T-shirt. Parrott said police are trying to find video of the attack. — Patrick Svitek

Entrepreneurial group InNUvation becomes EPIC By Joseph Diebold
daily senior staffer @josephdiebold
EPIC’s executive board had a problem. “When I used to go to people and tell them I was the president of InNUvation, they’d be like, ‘Oh, I know someone who was in that class,’� SESP senior Jo Lee said. “And I was like, ‘Oh, no, you mean NUvention.’ “We want to make it really clear who we are and who we’re not,� she said. Lee is the co-president of EPIC, the entrepreneurial student group formerly known as InNUvation. The organization rebranded over the summer in an effort to distance itself from the similar-sounding entrepreneurship course offerings and to bring its name — now short for “Entrepreneurs. Pioneers. Innovators. Creators.� — closer in line with its stated mission. “We decided to rebrand to not only move away from what we weren’t, which was NUvention, but move towards who we wanted to be — hopefully epic people, epic ideas, epic businesses and epic community,� Lee said. “And I think the heart of that is just our desire to create one community at Northwestern that’s entrepreneurial.� EPIC began the academic year with its first quarterly EPIC Talks event, which took place Thursday
Medill’s Alex Kotlowitz brings home Emmy for ‘The Interrupters’
Journalism Prof. Alex Kotlowitz won his first Emmy Award on Tuesday for his documentary “The Interrupters.� The documentary, which Kotlowitz co-produced with filmmaker Steve James, won in the Outstanding Informational Programming category at the 34th annual News & Documentary

That’s not Jo Lee, the primary thing.� EPIC co-president EPIC programming director Brad Puder said InNUvation was known primarily for running the annual NU Venture Challenge, the school’s largest business pitch competition. Puder said EPIC will look to make a
name for itself with a number of new events, including partnering with other student groups such as Design for America. “It was clear that NU needed a little bit more, that we needed to take a much more active stance in the entrepreneurial ecosystem at Northwestern than hosting one event once a year,� the Weinberg junior said. “And so we kind of all sat down and compared what Northwestern’s entrepreneurs need with the resources that are currently available. So we’re much more than an organization that hosts the NU Venture Challenge now.� Lee said though the new name conveys what the group wants its mission to be, the name has also had a role in shaping the group’s programming going forward. “It’s funny how creating a brand and then thinking about who you are go hand in hand, so the brand influences who you are and who you are influences the brand,� she said. She explained that EPIC’s offers all NU students a chance to apply concepts of entrepreneurship in their own lives. “Our goal isn’t to have the next Facebook come out of us — which would be awesome — but I think the goal is to give every student a chance to experience and respond to entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial spirit in their own unique way,� she said.

Previously, Kotlowitz won a Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism for his radio story “Mike and Victor: A Family Story,� which tells the story of a 24-year-old single white man who adopts a 9-year-old African-American boy he met while volunteering at a local orphanage. Kotlowitz has also received attention for “Harper High,� a WBEZ radio series he co-wrote about a Chicago
high school that lost 29 current and recent students to shootings in a single year. Kotlowitz wrote last year’s One Book One Northwestern selection, “Never a City So Real,� which told the story of Chicago through the lenses of people who live there. He also authored “There are No Children Here,� a book about two brothers growing up in the projects that was selected as one of the 150 most important books of the 20th century by the New York Public Library.

When government fails, thank goodness for football mike mallazzo
Daily columnist
As President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner lock horns like rhinos in mating season, the word “indivisible” no longer seems to have a place in the Pledge of Allegiance. With a government seemingly hell-bent on implosion, it begs the question: What’s left holding America together? In a word, football. In the absence of leadership from the clowns in Congress, the only traces of teamwork, discipline, passion, self-sacrifice and work ethic are seen in tussles for the pigskin. More gusto is displayed by Pat Fitzgerald in one quarter than by the Senate in an entire year. Imagine there’s no football. It isn’t easy if you try. Imagine having to spend a freezing Sunday afternoon in December with only “The Price is Right” on in the background. Think about not having a football game to sneak away to on Thanksgiving and actually having to talk to your overly touchy great aunt after she’s had a few spiked apple ciders. Try to visualize sitting in a two-hour statistics lecture without applying your practical knowledge of the discipline to set your fantasy lineup for the week.
Take a moment to fathom for a minute the American high school system trying to teach social studies and race relations without “Remember the Titans.” I know I can’t. Though the impact of the shutdown on honest, hardworking Americans cannot be understated, it is quite possible that more Americans would be bothered by a shutdown of the National Football League than a closure of the national government. The populace has reacted with shocking ambivalence to the closure of our government but seemed primed for revolution when, in 1968, NBC interrupted the broadcast of a Jets-Raiders game to air a television film called “Heidi.” The power of sport to rescue societies from their deepest doldrums transcends anything that happens on the field. In 1938, our nation, buckling under the full weight of the Great Depression, found hope in Seabiscuit, a small chestnut colt with a giant heart.

Optimism about IranU.S. relations misguided Jonathan kamel
guest columnist @jonathankamel
In a recent column by Antonio Petkov titled “U.S-Iranian relations show positive change,” the author makes many claims regarding the future relations between the two countries. I disagree with many of the key points the author made regarding international sanctions on Iran and his optimism concerning the “thaw” of U.S-Iranian relations. No thaw can occur until verifiable action is taken on the part of Iran, and so far all The only reason the world has heard the Ayatollah is “talk” from both sides. Though I view was willing positive talk from Iran as a step in the to agree to right direction, it negotiations does not erase Iran’s is because the past or that fact that sanctions are Ayatollah Ali Khamenei still wields unlimhaving such ited authority over a detrimental Iran’s government. Iran’s leaders ought effect on Iran’s to be judged not by economy. their words but by their actions. Iran continues to enrich uranium in far greater quantities than could possibly be for peaceful purposes and still claims it will not compromise on its nuclear program. The new president of Iran smiled and attempted to reposition himself favorably with the West, but no change has occurred on the ground. In addition, Iran’s leadership is still not cooperating with the International Atomic Energy Agency, and, in a recent Reuters article, journalists reported that little if no progress was made during recent negotiations with Tehran. Negotiations will have to tackle the fact that Iran continues to deny its pursuit of nuclear weapons and has repeatedly denied Israel’s right to exist. Although Petkov criticizes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his attenuation on this issue, he is not a resident of Israel and would not have to live in fear of a nuclear Iran. For citizens of Israel, a nuclear Iran presents an unparalleled security risk that
“
would destabilize the entire Middle East. If you think the region is in turmoil now, picture the current scene with a nuclear capable rentier state that controls vast amounts of the world’s oil. The most recent sanctions on Iran passed by Congress had overwhelming bipartisan support as the bill passed 400-20. Highways are not even named with that degree of support from both Democrats and Republicans. The No. 1 foreign policy priority for scores of both Democrats and Republicans is preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. While Petkov calls Iranian President Hassan Rouhani as the face of a new Iran, the Ayatollah remains the man calling all the shots and has repeatedly claimed that Israel should be wiped from the map. Still, Rouhani has, in previous positions, used the promise of negotiations to bide time and get Iran closer to a bomb. This is the same strategy he is using today. I caution Petkov to not be fooled by Rouhani’s and the Khamenei’s tactics as they are within a year of developing nuclear capability, according to the Jerusalem Post. Although I agree with Petkov that negotiations are necessary and we must follow them closely, the only thing keeping Iran at the negotiating table is the sanctions. Remove the sanctions, and Iran will acquire a bomb within the year. The only reason the Ayatollah was willing to agree to negotiations is because the sanctions are having such a detrimental effect on Iran’s economy. Luckily, the American people and Congress overwhelmingly support continued pressure on Iran, and President Barack Obama will receive serious criticism if he softens sanctions. Though it is important to approach every state in the world on equal footing, it is naive and dangerous to view the Iranian threat lightly. This is the same country that supports the terrorist organization Hezbollah in Lebanon, has backed President Bashar al-Assad of Syria and has sponsored terrorist attacks all over the world.

Slacktivism, inaction too common in feminist culture caryn lenhoff
Daily columnist
As someone with both a lot of work to do and a mighty procrastination habit, I spend more than my fair share of time online. Once I’ve gotten bored of refreshing Facebook, reading The New York Times and Googling my own name, I often find myself perusing one of a number of feminist websites. That I frequent Jezebel, xoJane and their ilk isn’t really remarkable: I am, after all, a liberal woman in her 20s: precisely these sites’ target demographic. I should be standing and applauding progressive pieces about marriage equality, access to healthcare and women’s still-unequal position in modern society. But too many articles become nothing more than an extended complaint about whatever issue happens to be at hand. It speaks to a broader problem in today’s America: griping about whatever bothers us without ever taking real action to combat those issues. (I’m not blind to the irony of addressing this issue from a column in The Daily. Hear me out.) I am not suggesting that we should stop calling attention to problems in society. Do institutional barriers exist that hold women back? Of course. And raising awareness of issues that may not be on America’s radar is absolutely an important job. But, as Sheryl Sandberg’s workplace manual/feminist manifesto “Lean In” suggests, sitting behind keyboards lamenting these roadblocks won’t help us overcome them any faster. Sandberg challenges women to take control of their futures by working within their current means to better their — and other women’s — circumstances.
This sort of candid, clear-headed thinking was a welcome departure from the sort of dialogue to which I had become accustomed online. In that sphere, articles become repetitive in the extreme. Comment sections often devolve into echo chambers, with people scrambling to offer every possible criticism of the offense du jour. There is nothing wrong with expressing disagreement, displeasure or even disgust at a person or an ideal; it would be an affront to my Jewish heritage if I failed to appreciate the power of a good kvetch. Where things start to go astray is when discussions never progress beyond complaining. There is a difference between a reasonable, productive conversation that can bring about actual change and the sort of one-sided shouting into which much modern feminist dialogue has devolved. Real change does not result simply from putting your grievances on paper, then waiting for progress to fall into your lap. Every major advance in American civil rights, from the eradication of slavery to women’s suffrage to the civil rights movement of the 1960s, has come about after a period of sustained action and activism. If the pioneers of those movements had been satisfied with today’s brand of inaction, their effects on society would be far diminished. As President Bill Clinton said at an August event commemorating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, “It is time to stop complaining and put our shoulders against the stubborn gates holding the American people back.” Instead of wishing for a perfect world, we should be working with the tools available to us to improve the one in which we actually live.

Concert venue 27 Live opens new restaurant, bar Abramson said. However, she said it remains to be seen whether students will flock to the lounge like they did to the now-defunct Keg of Evanston. But Yelin said 27 Live hopes to form strong connections with the NU community, citing WNUR, the Kellogg School of Management and theater groups as possible partners. The restaurant’s late-night hours and relaxed atmosphere are geared toward students, Tasiopoulos said. “When people move to Evanston, they’ve kind of done the gritty Chicago bar scene, and now you want to have it a little easier. But you still get great music and good food, and you can have a million types of whiskeys,� Yelin said. “We’ll all become whiskey connoisseurs,� he added with a laugh.

After a months-long delay, Evanston entertainment venue 27 Live opened its restaurant and whiskey lounge Wednesday evening. The multi-art performance space began operating last winter, hosting concerts and private events throughout the year, but was unable to open its restaurant and lounge due to permit and liquor licensing issues with the city, marketing director Nili Yelin said. The entire three-part facility — 14,000 square feet in total — opened as a single unit for the first time 4 p.m. Wednesday. “I think the synergy will be amazing, between the performance space and the lounge and the restaurant,� Yelin said. “It’s like you need all the parts turning so the work really gets out and the buzz gets going.� The restaurant features what owner John Tasiopoulos referred to as “comfort food with a twist,� Yelin said. The whiskey lounge, located above the restaurant and concert space, also has a menu of small snack dishes “with a little more sophistication — not just bar food,� Yelin said. The lounge serves 25 types of whiskey and hopes to add 75 more within the next few months. Tasiopoulos named 27 Live, 1012-1014 Church St., in honor of the 27 Club, a group of 44 rock musicians who died at the age of 27, including Kurt

CTA plans to roll out 4G service on Red, Blue lines By Tanner Maxwell
daily senior staffer @_tannermaxwell
The CTA announced Thursday it is working to bring 4G service to its underground wireless network. The plan will offer reliable voice, data and Web service as part of the city’s goal to modernize its infrastructure, the CTA said. The city will work with telecommunication companies to update the the subways’ wireless
technology, which has not been touched since 2005. “Chicago’s world-class transit system continues to improve, including upgrading technology for the safety and comfort of the millions who commute by bus and train every week,� Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said in a news release. “I am completely committed to investing in all aspects of our public transportation infrastructure, from rails to stations to wireless access, which will encourage ridership growth and economic opportunity.� The CTA hopes to bring the service to 12

Currently, the CTA leases its lines to six major wireless service providers. The agency says it earns $1.8 million through lease fees. “This infrastructure was pioneering for the transit industry when it was installed and through this upgrade initiative, CTA looks to lead the industry once more by offering a

NU alumni association launches social network By Olivia Exstrum
the daily northwestern @olivesocean
The Northwestern Alumni Association is launching a new, community-based social network connecting students, faculty, parents and alumni later this fall. Through the program, called Our Northwestern, participants will be able to search the alumni directory, connect with various clubs, network with other members of the NU community and start conversations about topics concerning campus and beyond. Users log in using Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or Google Plus. Natasha DiPrima (Medill ‘92), spokeswoman for Alumni Relations and Development, said Our Northwestern aims to foster alumni engagement, provide tools for students involved with alumni clubs and “improve communications between the University and alumni.� “Our alumni are the key products of Northwestern and an important manifestation of the University’s excellence,� she wrote in an email to The Daily. “Our alumni leave their mark on society through their professions and lives and, in doing so, proudly represent Northwestern first-hand in communities all across the world.� The idea behind Our Northwestern, DiPrima said, stemmed from discussions within the NAA Board of Directors and the Board of Trustees. Those involved in its development not only wanted to encourage more active participation from alumni but also to improve the ways in which they communicate with NU. “The University wants to continuously engage with alumni,� DiPrima wrote. NU has about 200,000 alumni spanning the country and the globe. Joe Balistreri (Weinberg ‘81), knows the importance of alumni and the work of the association. Now an attorney in Milwaukee, Balistreri has a daughter, Teresa, who is a Medill freshman. Although previously not very involved with the alumni association other than receiving the magazine, Balistreri said he plans on doing more now that his daughter is at NU.

“I think that for me, the best thing that the association does is keeping us informed as to what other classmates are doing,� he said. “The magazine has a section that will mention someone getting married, someone’s kids getting married, someone passing away. It keeps you up to date with your classmates.� McCormick junior Margaret Kirk, president of the Student Alumni Alliance, knows the impact of an alumni network. Some student-alumni events include career panels, NU Day at Wrigley, an etiquette banquet and the well-attended Dinner with 12 Strangers. Kirk, whose parents are both NU graduates, is excited to see more interaction between students and alumni. “I know what great people come out of this school,� Kirk said. “They are all incredibly interesting people with lots of knowledge to share, and it is great to connect with them.� The Our Northwestern website is currently in open beta testing and can be accessed by alumni, students, faculty and staff at our.northwestern.edu. The official launch is expected to come later this fall.

Tool aims to connect women in STEM fields Online networking portal will link faculty from NU, University of Chicago By Scott Brown
the daily northwestern
A research portal designed to facilitate connections between female scientists and engineers was launched Tuesday by the Chicago Collaboration for Women in STEM, a partnership between Northwestern and The University of Chicago. The portal, which is the first of its kind between the schools, aims to be an “easy online networking tool for women faculty across these institutions,� said Celina Flowers, who has worked with the Chicago Collaboration as project coordinator in the Office of the Provost at NU. STEM refers to the fields of science, technology, engineering and math. The portal currently contains more than 150 profiles of professors and researchers, including a summary of their research, links to their contributions in publications and a list of other members in the system with related backgrounds. “This multi-institutional research networking system is designed to stimulate networking and collaboration across disciplinary and institutional boundaries while promoting women in STEM disciplines,� said Lindsay ChaseLansdale, associate provost for faculty at NU, in a news release. The publicly accessible portal will also serve as a means of bringing together various areas of study. “The portal is an entry point into a community of scholars,� said McCormick Prof. Teri Odom. “It has the potential to introduce people and not only be a source of scientific collaboration but of mentorship and friendship as well.� The Chicago Collaboration was formed in
2011 to provide resources in networking, leadership and career planning to female faculty in STEM fields through its programs. It also collaborates with two Department of Energy research labs located in the Chicago area, Argonne National Laboratory and Fermilab. Although women are becoming more prominent in STEM fields, there is still a predominantly male element to these areas of study, said Mary Harvey, associate provost for program development at The University of Chicago, in the release. The portal ... has “Though women now receive half the the potential doctorates in scito introduce ence and engineering people and not in the United States, make up only 21 only be a source they percent of full science of scientific professors and only collaboration about 5 percent of full engineering profesbut of sors,� Harvey said. “A mentorship and networking site that female science faculty friendship as can leverage to idenwell. tify potential female research collaborators Teri Odom, is an important step McCormick prof to improving these numbers.� The overwhelming number of males in STEM fields creates a “missing voice� in female leadership and role models for female STEM students, Flowers said. The Chicago Collaboration offers professional training, including mentoring, that can directly benefit students and provide female leadership models. Flowers said the online portal signifies an important step for both female faculty and researchers. “There is no other tool like this,� she said.

Statistical Preview: Northwestern vs. Ohio State John Paschall Daily sports @John_Paschall
Sometimes events just happen out of luck. Sometimes they happen for a reason. But can statistics take luck out of the equation and tell you who is more likely to win a given game? That’s what psychology Prof. David Smith and I tried to do leading up to this Saturday’s match-up between Northwestern and Ohio State. We compiled a list of data from teams that have hosted ESPN’s “College GameDay” at home since 2010. We did not include any “GameDay” events that were at a neutral site (such as NU’s game against Illinois at Wrigley Field). The data we collected includes passing and rushing yards from that particular game for both teams as well as each team’s season averages. We also factored in turnovers and each team’s ranking coming into that particular game to determine whether the game was an upset. To answer our question, we used a statistical procedure called logistic regression, in which we predicted the binary outcome of win/lose and upset/non-upset. An upset was defined as any win by the lower ranked team. Let’s analyze some of the data that we calculated: Table one above gives some more interesting statistics. We were able to calculate the mean for all the categories we entered into the formula. For these charts, “Home” represents the home team that hosted “GameDay.” One of the noticeable differences between non-upset and upset results is in the away team rushing yards section. Away teams who were upset rushed for significantly fewer yards — 52 — than they did when they won. Let’s take a look at table two. Here’s where we start to get a little more
clarity on what might be a telling statistic in terms of deciding who wins. Let’s take a look at some correlations. In case you’ve never taken a statistics class, a correlation is a number that describes the relationship between two variables. So if we were to see a positive correlation between two variables, that would mean that if one variable increases the other does, as well. In table two, we see the strongest positive correlation of .612 for home rushing yards to winning the game. In comparison, the away teams had a negative correlation of -.56 when they lost the game. So what does this all mean? Essentially, rushing yards is the best predictor for determining the winner for “GameDay” matchups. Is there a magic number the Wildcats need to reach to beat the Buckeyes? Not necessarily. Currently the Buckeyes have the edge over the Cats in season average rushing yards, leading 287.2 to 249.5. But if NU is able to outgain OSU on the ground, there’s a good chance the Cats could pull off the upset on Saturday.

Junior quarterback Braxton Miller has only played in two full games this year but has one extremely odd stat line. In the second half of games this year, Miller only has 42 yards passing, as opposed to 364 in the first half. OSU has never trailed in a game this year. The Buckeyes are outscoring opponents 116-21 in the first quarter in 2013. NU enters Saturday scoring at least 30 points in a school-record six consecutive games.

Cats on brink of earning national respect Fitzgerald is fighting for more than attention — he needs redemption By rohan nadkarni
daily senior staffer @Rohan_NU
Pat Fitzgerald’s office contains what you would expect. Photos, memorabilia and general clutter line the sanctuary of the Dan and Susan Jones Family Head Football Coach. The item most representative of Fitzgerald’s Northwestern tenure rests in his office as well, a seemingly
innocuous gift from Fitzgerald’s mentor, the late Randy Walker. The item? A king-sized Snickers candy bar, given to the NU coaching staff after the Wildcats’ bowl loss in 2005. On the bar reads a note: “Eat when satisfied.”
The journey
Fitzgerald’s road to Saturday’s contest with Ohio State really began on Jan. 1, 1996. On that day, the Cats fell to Southern California 41-32 in the Rose Bowl, the last time NU made the Big Ten’s most prestigious game. Fitzgerald, then an All-American middle linebacker, missed the game with a broken leg. The next year, before the Cats’ loss in the Citrus Bowl, Fitzgerald described not playing in the Rose Bowl as “the toughest thing” he’s ever been through, calling himself “despondent” on the sidelines. More recently, Fitzgerald has recalled happier memories of making the trip to Pasadena. Two years ago, he told Big Ten Network he took not playing as an opportunity to eat as many In-N-Out burgers as he could, making it his personal mission to gain 20 pounds. Fitzgerald also revealed his emotions when walking out of the tunnel, not wearing pads like the rest of his teammates. “You can start to see the field and the San Gabriels as you come out of the tunnel,” Fitzgerald said. “And then we hit the field and right there in front of us the end zone is purple and white. “I’m not going to lie. I started crying.”
Not satisfied
But Barnett’s exit from NU marred his memorable tenure. Barnett even admitted to the Chicago Tribune in an interview this week the lingering disappointment of his departure. “To this minute, I don’t know if I did it the right or wrong way,” Barnett said. Fitzgerald left Barnett after one year and finally returned to Evanston in 2001. Meanwhile, his former coach flamed out in Colorado amid rumors of sexual assault amongst players in the football program. Adversity followed Fitzgerald back home. From the death of Randy Walker due to an unexpected heart attack to the professional sorrows of losing four straight bowl games, Fitzgerald still failed to find that elusive satisfaction. Even after the school’s triumphant win in January’s Gator Bowl, Fitzgerald set his sights higher, telling fans at a rally after the bowl win that he expected to play in California twice this season. The season-opening win against Cal came and went. A second trip would mean a return trip to Pasadena.
Almost famous At some point, every journey reaches a crossroads, which brings the Cats to Saturday night. Before Fitzgerald can ask his travel agent to book tickets for the Rose Bowl, his team must defeat the Buckeyes, who own the nation’s longest current winning streak at 17. Fitzgerald versus Meyer fits the narrative of any classic sports movie or hero’s quest. One program preaches education and graduation, led by a hometown hero who — as a player and a coach — saved his alma mater from decades of
mediocrity. The other follows a coach who acts more like a winning mercenary, hopping from program to program in search of more success, while player arrests lie in his wake. Ohio State has always been Fitzgerald’s toughest foe. The Buckeyes showed the Cats no mercy in 2006, Fitzgerald’s first year on the job, winning 54-10 in Evanston. They have won 28 of the last 29 games in the series. Odds suggest that David will eventually slay Goliath, that NU will climb the seemingly insurmountable mountain that is Ohio State. But Fitzgerald knows how elusive the storybook path can be. Barnett, Walker and Fitzgerald’s first four bowl teams never received the ending they deserved. Now, Fitzgerald is once again on the precipice of something big, a defining moment for a football program that can write its own history in front of the nation’s suddenly watchful eye. A win means NU belongs in the top tier. A win means “College GameDay” will make trips to Evanston more often than twice in 18 years. A win means that a future valedictorian, super-athletic quarterback watching at home will remember the name “Northwestern.” A win brings Fitzgerald one step closer to the game he was so tantalizingly teased with in 1996. A win, however, does not mean Fitzgerald can finally take a bite of that stale candy bar in his office. Pat Fitzgerald won’t be satisfied until he’s running out of the tunnel Jan. 1, the San Gabriels in the background, and the purple and white on the field. rohannadkarni2015@u.northwestern.edu
As the accomplishments piled up for Fitzgerald, so did the heartbreak. Despite being the only player to win two straight Bronko Nagurski Trophies and one of just two to take home two straight Chuck Bednarik Awards, Fitzgerald’s hopes of playing in the NFL were fruitless. He never made it out of training camp with the Dallas Cowboys. Eventually, he found himself in Colorado working for Gary Barnett, the coach who recruited him and took the Cats to the Rose Bowl.

Alumna, junior spend summer biking, building By Paulina Firozi
daily senior staffer @paulina_milla
At times during their almost 4,000-mile cycling trip across the country, Weinberg junior Allie Rawson and Emily Hittner (Weinberg ‘13) would scream “Northwestern” at the top of their lungs. Rawson and Hittner had only encountered each other briefly on campus before they found out they were both on the same North American route for Bike & Build, an organization that raises funds for affordable housing and sends people on cycling and building trips around the nation. The 30 people in the NU duo’s group started in Lebanon, N.H., and were in Vancouver by the end of 70 days, 10 of which were spent building. Rawson said she learned about the trip through her sister’s friend, who had done it several years ago, and she knew she wanted to do it eventually.
“I sort of felt, how my studies were working out, that if I didn’t do it this summer I would lose the opportunity,” she said. “It was kind of now or never.” Both riders’ interest in affordable housing and the trip’s mission were sparked by their involvement in NU’s chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Rawson led a Habitat trip to Michigan last winter and Hittner was president of the chapter her junior year. Hittner said she had been active within the organization and with the politics of affordable housing in some way for 11 years. The pair’s route was one of eight cross country trips that start somewhere on the east coast and head west for the summer. Since 2003, Bike & Build has sent people ages 18 to 28 on cycling trips that have raised more than $4.5 million for affordable housing organizations like Habitat, Rebuilding Together and their affiliates across the country. Each participant must raise $4,500 by the trip’s start date, $1,000 of which goes toward the bike used for the trip.
Hittner said she mostly asked family and friends at NU for donations. For her 22nd birthday in December, she asked everyone to donate $22 toward her trip in lieu of buying gifts, which contributed toward the $1,000 deadline for her bike. Justin Villere, Bike & Build’s director of operations and outreach, said there is no volunteer or even athletic requirement for applying for these trips, though he said most, like Rawson and Hittner, have been in similar organizations. “A lot of our riders have been involved with Habitat or some affordable housing organization. But there are some who haven’t and it’s definitely not required,” Villere said. “We’re really just looking for young adults who have a passion for service in some form.” But Villere said there is training once the riders are selected for the program to ensure they are ready for the rigorous cycling schedule of the trip. Rawson admitted she didn’t stick to the training regimen as much as she should have and was grateful to the people in her group for their patience.
“One of the first days, we were going up these mountains,” she said. “And my friend was belting ‘The Little Mermaid’ as we were going up, and I just kept saying, ‘I can do it, the Little Mermaid will get me through.’” Hittner and Rawson are two of 32 NU students who have participated in the program since its beginning, Villere said. He added that put the school “in the top 10” of schools feeding Bike & Build. Although she couldn’t attend her graduation, Hittner said she was still able to connect NU to her new Bike & Build family. “Once I realized all my friends were together at Northwestern graduating, and I was biking somewhere in upstate New York, I felt a little nostalgic,” she said. “But we biked straight through Northwestern at one point when we stayed in Chicago. We rode near campus and down Lake Shore Drive. I was able to show people where I spent the past four years.” paulinafirozi2015@u.northwestern.edu
Popular ballet barre workout class comes to city By Paige Leskin
the daily northwestern @paigeleskin
The newest fitness craze has arrived in Evanston, and it’s designed just for women. Pure Barre, a franchise studio featuring the ballet barre workout, celebrated its launch Thursday evening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Manager Katelyn Newey thanked the attendees, who included Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl and Ald. Don Wilson (4th). “Everyone’s been just so welcoming,” Newey said. “We look forward to a great future and connecting the community.” The studio, 910 Church St., offers classes in the barre workout, which is “the fastest, most effective way for women to change the shape of their bodies,” according to Pure Barre. Newey, a certified personal trainer and registered yoga teacher, swears by the effectiveness of Pure Barre. She said the 55-minute class burns a high level of calories and produces lean, long muscles.
“It works every muscle to fatigue,” she said. “We’re trying to get to the point where muscles are shaking.” The barre workout method was created in 2001 and has grown in popularity since then. Pure Barre, just one company using the workout, has opened more than 150 studios around the country since it became a franchise in 2009. Since its birth, Pure Barre has focused on women. The workout is adapted to concentrate on the body parts “women struggle with the most,” according to Purre Barre. Newey stressed the barre workout is suitable for everyone. The technique is “low-impact,” meaning “there’s no stress on the joints,” Newey said. The mayor said she is thankful for the new studio because “they’re here to promote health and wellness.” Newey decided to join the Pure Barre franchise because she shares common goals and visions with the technique. She said she chose Evanston for its demographic, which includes many mothers and thousands of Northwestern students. With Pure Barre a few blocks from campus,

ribbon cutting Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl cuts the ribbon Thursday evening to mark the opening of Pure Barre, 910 Church St. The studio offers classes in the ballet barre workout.
Newey plans on attracting many students to the studio. Already, Pure Barre offers special discounts to students, including a one-month unlimited pass at $175, and $10 classes on Saturdays when the football team has home games. Newey has also reached out to the sororities to

Series sheds light on law in Muslim world By Maddie Elkins

A Northwestern School of Law colloquium series on constitutional law in the Muslim world is convening leading scholars to bring a deeper and more nuanced understanding of constitutional design in the region.

The first talk was held Monday and focused on Iran. The discussions aims to raise awareness and focuses on one country at a time, pairing together an expert on the country and one on constitutional law to touch on a broad range of issues. Talks scheduled for this fall focus on Iran, Sri Lanka, Tunisia and Indonesia, and later talks will to look at Egypt, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Turkey and Malaysia. “Because the Muslim world is very diverse and there’s a wide range of issues, we’re trying to cover as many models as possible,” said law graduate student Salma Waheedi, who organized the series. “We’re not advocating a particular system or a particular design as much as we’re trying to get the conversation going and see what lessons we can learn.” Waheedi said discussions range from countries with traditionally Islamic models to more secular designs. She said the series aims to look at the interaction between political systems and

Islamic legal issues. The series is sponsored by the School of Law; NU Equality, Development and Globalization Studies; and the Buffett Center. Stilt has contributed her own research grant funds from the the Guggenheim Foundation, with support from the Dorothy Tapper Goldman Foundation, to engage with people from the community and around the world. Delaney said that inspiration for the series came in part from Stilt’s own academic interests, and part from a shared belief in the importance of a contextualized understanding of a country. “The idea is to have something that is interdisciplinary and detailed to understand how these countries are struggling with democracy and Islam,” Delaney said. Waheedi said Monday’s audience consisted mainly of academics. Both Delaney and Waheedi emphasized that though the series is convened by the School of Law, it is open to the whole of NU as well as anyone in the community interested in attending. melkins@u.northwestern.edu

GameDay
Evanston prep
for the athletic department. As some students leave the area, others may enter, he said. To celebrate Homecoming game day, the athletic department released a short video featuring coach Pat Fitzgerald and members of the football team. Chenault says it has gone viral, appearing on national college football blogs and local television stations. “It’s very safe to say the eyes of the college football world are going to be here in Evanston this weekend,� he said. University Police is also providing security to work alongside ESPN’s team at “GameDay.� UP will increase its presence with more officers on campus, at and around Ryan Field and in off-campus neighborhoods, Deputy Chief Daniel McAleer said. McAleer said he is not sure what to expect from the “GameDay� broadcast. The show was last held on campus in 1995 in Welsh-Ryan Arena. UP has consulted other “GameDay� host schools during planning efforts. The increased police presence comes with a decreased tolerance, McAleer said. UP will be on the lookout for crime, public urination and public drunkenness during the football game and “GameDay� broadcast. “You can’t expect that everyone at the ESPN GameDay event will be rooting for Northwestern,� McAleer said. “There might be some Ohio State fans that want to debate football prowess. Sometimes those debates turn physical.� For student fans, Norris University Center is holding “GameDay� preparation events. ARTica Studios will extend its hours to give students a chance to make signs to bring to the broadcast. It will also offer free face painting on Saturday from noon to 3 p.m., according to the Norris website. Coke Zero held a combine on Norris’ East Lawn on Thursday and will repeat the event Friday, giving students a chance to win seats in Section Zero, elevated bleachers near the “GameDay� stage that get some television time. Students have to complete an obstacle course under a certain time limit to win seats in the section. McCormick junior Phil House competed with his friend to win Section Zero seats but could not finish the course in time. House said he plans on coming back in more athletic clothes, and maybe cleats. “It’s Northwestern’s biggest game in 18 years,� he said. “You get a chance to be on TV and a chance to be proud of Northwestern on national TV.�
excited about the NU football team’s success and are looking forward to the weekend. “It’s not something to panic over,� he said. “Northwestern has had sold-out games before.� He said he has no illusions about game-day revelry in the Central Street area, which includes Ryan Field and off-campus neighborhoods northwest of campus. “Students will party,� Walsh said. “It’s fine as long as they invite the neighbors over. That’s really the key.� In an advisory Thursday morning, EPD said football fans should expect a larger presence than usual and that authorities will take any “problematic activity� seriously. Any violation of disorderly conduct, public urination or having an open container in public will lead to an arrest and $120 cash bond, according to EPD. The same rule applies for underage drinking. The University has reminded students on the off-campus email list to “take responsibility� at their residences this weekend.

Homecoming
Businesses anticipate uptick in customers By Kimberly Railey
daily senior staffer @kimberlyrailey
With thousands of people expected to turn out for Northwestern’s Homecoming weekend, Evanston businesses are preparing to accommodate crowds they say could reach historic levels. Several establishments are extending their store hours and bringing in additional employees for Homecoming activities, which culminate 7 p.m. Saturday in the Wildcats’ primetime matchup against Ohio State. Employees say they expect ESPN’s “College GameDay� broadcast from Evanston to generate hype that could attract even more customers. “This is going to be one of the biggest games,� said Natalie Kasputis, manager of Beck’s Book Store, 716 Clark St. “We’re very upbeat and excited.� The Evanston bookstore is selling special “College GameDay� T-shirts and baseball caps, as well
as asking more employees to be on hand, Kasputis said. The store is also extending its hours Friday and Saturday until 7 p.m. and will be open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, a day it is normally closed. Mustard’s Last Stand, 1613 Central St., will close at midnight, an hour and a half later than usual, and an additional five to 10 employees will work. The restaurant is located steps away from Ryan Field. “We’re buying as many hot dogs as we can get and fit in our local restaurant,� manager Lonnie Starman said. “We’re right next door to the stadium, so we really don’t need to advertise.� Starman said he predicts Saturday will be one of the establishment’s busiest days yet. Football games against Ohio State and Michigan traditionally draw the most crowds because fans can easily travel to Evanston, he said. At another Central Street establishment, Tag’s Pastry Shop, employees are increasing their stock of pretzels and donuts, owner Greg Better said. The
shop, 2010 Central St., will also sell pizza slices for the first time. Other business owners plan to scale down the size of their menu to serve large crowds more efficiently. “We tend to do less on game days,� said Joseph Dincer-Ubl, manager at Prairie Joe’s, 1921 Central St. “We’ll do an easier game-style menu.� Other Central Street businesses may undergo few preparations because many nearby pedestrians will be headed toward Ryan Field, said Elaine Kemna-Irish, executive director of the Evanston Chamber of Commerce. Still, Kemna-Irish said many employees are looking forward to the game — both to cheer on NU and to cater to more customers. “A lot of people know it’s good possible business,� Kemna-Irish said. “There are many who just can’t wait for students to come, and I think the restaurants really appreciate it a lot.� kimberlyrailey2014@u.northwestern.edu

“I think just having a really strong national brand here at Norris is always a positive thing,” Sophian said. “There’s definitely quite a few Subways throughout Evanston. However, this is the only one where you can actually use your WildCARD, Munch Money, so as far as the convenience factor it really helps out.” Sophian did not have specific details on the number of employees at the new location, but he said all previous employees of the Norris food court are still on campus in some capacity. The addition of Subway joins a slew of other changes made to student dining options over the summer. The Great Room was closed for renovations and evening hours were cut at several other Norris dining options. Additionally, Allison will now

whether through decades of thoughtful development planning or for living, walking, shopping, and dining,” she said in a statement Thursday evening. The APA also singled out the “engaged residents” of the neighborhood, an apparent nod to the Central Street Neighbors Association. The group formed in the 2000s in opposition to the potential “canyonization” of the street, which would have brought large, multi-use buildings to the area. John Walsh, president of the association, said it is hard to imagine Central Street would be what it is today if residents had not “spoken up” and organized against the controversial development. “The award is a wonderful recognition of what on trying to survive practice and doing OK in classes.” Although it’s still early in the year, Swan has noticed “big time” improvements in his players, citing development on offense, defense and physical fitness. Swan said he hopes to see a daily progression in his players, saying that his team “has to get a lot better.” For that to happen, Swan said Shropshire and other young players will need to perform well
we at the Central Street Neighbors Association have been working for and advocating for many years and what everyone who lives and works in the Central Street neighborhood has known for many years,” said Walsh, who has lived in the neighborhood since 1976. Walsh also praised the long-term lure of the neighborhood, recalling taking his son to Independence Park when he was 2 years old. Now, his son takes his own children to the park, which is near the intersection of Central Street and Stewart Avenue. “His daughters love playing in that same park. It’s decades later,” Walsh said. “There’s a sustaining livability about the community that creates a wonderful atmosphere and friendliness.” patricksvitek2014@u.northwestern.edu this year. The nine-man squad, comprised of four freshmen and a single senior, will look to continue the winning ways of last year’s more experienced team that went 22-10. “The entire freshman class is a talented group,” Swan said. “I expect them to perform well through the fall and throughout the season for us.” matthewmays2017@u.northwestern.edu
Richard Dawkins speaks at packed Pick-Staiger By Sam Osburn
the daily northwestern
Evolutionary biologist and atheist Richard Dawkins spoke about his new book to a sold-out crowd at Pick-Staiger Concert Hall on Thursday night. The event was part of Dawkins’ tour to promote his autobiographical memoir, which details his upbringing and the early part of his work up to the release of his first book, “The Selfish Gene.” Dawkins ran the gamut of his career, discussing in equal parts his views on religion and his passion for science. The conversation was moderated by fellow biologist, vocal atheist and renowned University of Chicago Prof. Jerry Coyne. Dawkins spoke of his time in high school and at the University of Oxford, during which he underwent a loss of faith and was “bowled over by the beauty of the natural world.” This led him to a successful career in evolutionary biology, he said, culminating in his articulation of what he calls a “gene-centered” view of evolution in his numerous books. It was, however, his inflammatory discussion of religion in his 2006 book “The God Delusion” that catapulted him to global fame and established him as a controversial figure. The event was put on by Northwestern’s Secular
Student Alliance, whose mission is to foster a community for secular students on campus, in part by hosting speakers, SSA president Diana Rawles said. The Weinberg junior said Dawkins approached SSA and asked if it would host a stop on his nationwide book tour. She said she wanted to bring him to campus because he is a “productive ... great face” in the atheist community, despite his sometimes harsh tone. Fellow SSA member and Weinberg senior Glenn Alexander said he saw hosting such a prominent figure in the atheist community as an honor and a “great publicity opportunity for the organization.” Bienen graduate student Brandon Acker said he heard about the event just days ago and was “ecstatic” to see Dawkins, who he believes has “done wonders for atheism.” Attendees filling Pick-Staiger’s nearly 1,000-seat auditorium were not just from Evanston and NU. Jovan Jovanovski, who said he is very well-versed in Dawkins’ work, came from Detroit to hear the author speak. Jovanovski said he doesn’t see Dawkins’ opinions as particularly controversial. He said he considers the author’s statements to be “pretty indisputable” and believes that some people “simply don’t like the facts.” SSA member Michael Lamble praised the interplay between Dawkins and Coyne, who he said seemed

comfortable in their dialogue. Lamble, a Weinberg senior, said he appreciated that the two could “commiserate and share thoughts about things that they both know deeply about,” and was enthusiastic about their ability to “make science approachable.” Attendees lined the auditorium aisles for the question-and-answer session that closed the talk, asking Dawkins about topics ranging from his thoughts on
the future of science and its place in government to religion’s place in the world. Throughout the talk, Dawkins made his position on faith clear. “The world would be a better place without religion,” he said. samuelosburn2017@u.northwestern.edu

Ohio-born Cats prepare to face hometown team By alex putterman
daily senior staffer @AlexPutt02
Where Deonte Gibson comes from, you root against Ohio State at your own peril. Gibson, a redshirt sophomore defensive lineman for Northwestern, grew up in Lakewood, Ohio, where
scarlet and gray are practically official colors. And if the pass-rusher was not already predisposed to cheering for the Buckeyes as a kid, he soon found reason to.: Gibson’s older brother, Nate Oliver, enrolled at Ohio State in 2007 and after redshirting his freshman year, played four seasons at defensive back and on special teams for the Buckeyes. Naturally, the pass-rusher said, the status and proximity of Ohio State’s program was appealing to him

in high school, but when the Buckeyes didn’t express much interest, he happily picked NU. “I knew that how recruiting things go, that you might not always get where you want to go,� Gibson said. “Here, they wanted me more, and I absolutely believe I fit in here better.� If the No. 16 Cats (4-0) upset No. 4 Ohio State (5-0) on Saturday night at Ryan Field, it will be with help from a whole cast of Ohioans. NU’s roster boasts 18 players from the Buckeye State, including three of the team’s best defensive players — redshirt senior defensive end Tyler Scott, redshirt sophomore cornerback Nick VanHoose and junior linebacker Chi Chi Ariguzo. Ariguzo, NU’s leading tackler, went to high school roughly six miles from the Ohio State campus. Still, he said Buckeye football wasn’t a big part of his life. “I watched some of their games,� he said. “I wasn’t too much of a big college football fan back in the day.� NU and Ohio State have not met on the football field since 2008, meaning no current Cats player has faced off against the Buckeyes. But neither Ariguzo nor Gibson said they consider playing against their hometown team all that special. “It only means a little bit extra to me just because it’s Big Ten play,� Ariguzo said. “This is one step toward our goal of being Big Ten champions.� Meanwhile Gibson, who has three tackles for loss and a sack this season playing situationally for the Cats, said he feels no need to prove himself against the team that once declined to recruit him. “I don’t want it to be a thing that because I’m from Ohio I have this chip on my shoulder against Ohio State,� he said. “It’s more about ‘us versus them’ instead of ‘Ohio versus Ohio State.� Nevertheless, the Cats’ Ohioans recognize the Homecoming weekend match-up as some sort of reverse homecoming for them. More than 75 Ohio State players — more than half the team — come from Ohio, and NU’s Buckeye-bred boys might be staring across the line at some familiar faces, including former Ohio Mr. Football finalist, quarterback Braxton Miller. “We kind of joke about that. We say everybody is from Ohio, and it’s going to be awkward playing against people you’ve been playing against when you were younger,� Gibson said. “It reminds you of Saturday night games in high school, playing against guys

that were known as the top in the state. But now it’s just on a bigger stage, on a bigger level.� Most fans in Ohio will have no trouble deciding which team to pull for, but one uniquely situated native has a tough decision. With half a decade at one school and a family member at the other, who will Gibson’s brother root for this weekend? “I would hope he’s rooting for me,� Gibson says, laughing nervously. “It’s a funny sibling rivalry. It’s like a conflict in the house, but I’m pretty sure he’s rooting for me.“ alexputterman2016@u.northwestern.edu

Gameday editor @Rohan_NU
College football is clearly on the brink of a revolution. Whether schools finally cave and devise a way to pay athletes or the major schools break away from the NCAA altogether to form their own league, the system as it currently stands cannot continue with the status quo. While the money grows, and athletes continue to receive no piece of the pie for their labor, universities find creative ways to spend their funds, be it on extravagant facilities or head coaches. Urban Meyer, head coach at Ohio State, has benefited greatly from the college football boom. His success as a coach is undeniable. As a result, he collects a salary of $4.25 million from the Buckeyes. Meyer is often questioned not for his talent but for his ethics. During his time at Florida, 25 players combined to receive 31 arrests. In his less-than-two-year tenure in Columbus, Meyer has already dealt with eight player arrests. His former players have insinuated their coach tolerated all the trouble because his singular focus was to win football games. But I’m not here to bash Urban Meyer. I’m here to tell you that if I somehow ended up in his position, I would make the same decisions. The era of the college coach as the builder of men is quickly fading. Pat Fitzgerald, who espouses education, family and “The Wildcat Way,� is a relic of a different era, a rarity in the modern college football landscape. When we look at schools like Ohio State, Michigan or Florida, we need to realize we are no longer looking at universities or athletic programs. We are looking at legitimate big business. Right now, wins equal success, success equals exposure and exposure equals money. In Alabama, where Nick Saban is accused of oversigning players, what do you think fans care about more — the athletes or the national championships? It’s no surprise Saban leads all NCAA football coaches with a salary in excess of $5.3 million. The money is too great for coaches or universities to sacrifice wins. Just look at the per-year average in TV deals for major conferences for football and basketball: $250 million for the Pac-12, $205 million for the SEC and $248.2 million for the Big Ten. These conferences are pocketing nearly a quarter of a billion dollars just for sharing their games on TV. Those numbers don’t include merchandise, tickets, donations or any other revenue streams for athletics. And before we declare Northwestern innocent, remember that because of the Big Ten’s revenue-sharing system, the Cats benefit financially because of the popularity of Meyer’s Buckeyes and the Wolverines. It’s easy for fans at a small school like NU to hate the big dogs like Meyer. However, Meyer, Saban and many other coaches are a product of a system that rewards schools to sell out for wins. A long time ago, college sports, mainly football and basketball, lost the veil of amateurism. The money is too big and the power for coaches too great for universities to care about anything but the bottom line. Although selling out for the bottom line continues to erode the original values of college sports, think about what you would do as a coach with millions on the table or as a college president with billions for the taking. So if you’re watching Meyer on the sidelines across from Fitzgerald on Saturday, wondering how an academic institution can let him run his second program with a seriously askew ethical compass, don’t hate the coach — hate the game. rohannadkarni2015@u.northwestern.edu

Bradley slides past NU in overtime to win By enrique perez
the daily northwestern @EPerez1792
No. 5 Northwestern fell to Bradley as the Braves triumphed in a thrilling 3-2 overtime match. The Wildcats (7-2-0, 1-0-0 Big Ten) were riding a seven-game winning streak into Wednesday night’s game. The match got off to a frantic start, with both teams slamming shots at each other’s goal. Bradley (5-3-1) attacked with pace, precision and aggression. Senior midfielder Connor Holloway dug in hard, matching the Braves’ aggression with well-timed tackles and quick interventions. The constant pressure the Bradley offense applied on the Cats’ back line outdid the senior’s efforts. Forward Christian Okeke went unassisted in the eighth minute as he stole an errant pass from NU and fired it past junior goalkeeper Tyler Miller and the rest of the Cats defense. It wouldn’t be the last time Okeke’s name appeared on the score sheet. The Cats continued to make costly mistakes throughout the game, but they remained aggressive on the offense.Many of the chances generated were by playmaking senior midfielder Chris Ritter, who was the motor of the team. Despite the mistakes, Ritter demonstrated his experienced qualities and poise when he appeared on defense, interrupting any rhythm Bradley tried to establish. “We put them in good opportunities
to score goals,” Ritter said. “They didn’t kill us with great passing movements. We kind of gifted them two goals, but knowing that we would still be dangerous in the game with our chances to tie it up, I think that’s a source of positivity.” The game was seemingly getting out of hand for both teams. Bradley frequently moved into the Cats’ half, putting menacing shots above the crossbar. NU did the same as junior midfielder Eric Weberman pushed a shot wide left that nearly tied things up in the 34th minute. As the half ended, it was time for the Cats and coach Tim Lenahan to make some adjustments and reflect on the first 45 minutes. “The first 15 minutes of the game, we were not ready to play and gave up that early goal,” Lenahan said. “I even said it on the sidelines, ‘We’re about to give up an early goal,’ because you can just feel it. I’ve been doing this long enough to know that.” Despite any tactical changes made going into the second half, Bradley’s intensity and quick pace undid the Cats again in the 53rd minute. Another poorly timed pass from the defense cost NU a second goal when junior defender Grant Wilson’s attempted header was stolen by Bradley’s Aaron Birk. Birk netted the shot from 7 yards out, avoiding Miller’s efforts to stop him. As the game died down in the second half, many Cats supporters had to ask themselves one question: where was Joey Calistri? The sophomore forward
Men’s Tennis
had been a goal machine this season but became a ghost in Wednesday’s contest. Everything changed in the 77th minute. After NU cleared another attack, Holloway slotted a ball to Calistri. Calistri’s shot went past Braves’ goalkeeper Brian Billings to make it 2-1. The goal was his ninth of the season out of 16 shots, a staggering ratio of efficiency. “We’ve got to make the most of the chances we get,” Calistri said. “We’ve been doing a good job of that so far as a team. Not just the finish, but the final passes have been good along with some movement off the ball. Overall, we’ve just been very focused in the final third when we get our chances.” In the dying embers of the game, Calistri doubled his tally thanks to an assist from Ritter. Tying the game in such emphatic fashion gave NU a morale boost as the two teams headed into overtime. “Some people tap dance and sing,” Lenahan said. “Joey works hard and scores goals.” In the early parts of overtime, it looked like NU was on the verge of snatching victory as senior midfielder Lepe Seetane sent a ball just above the crossbar. However, NU’s defensive mistakes forced it to pay the ultimate price. Okeke, who scored the opening goal, took a pass and bolted it into the back of the net in the eighth minute of overtime to earn Bradley victory over another soccer giant. “Overall, it might’ve been a bit of an unlucky result, but you’ve got to give Bradley credit too,” Calistri said. “They

played a great game and had a great strategy.” Lenahan reflected on the game and emphasized the investment one has to put into the sport. “If it didn’t hurt a little bit, that means you don’t care enough,” Lenahan said. “Our guys care, so this one stings a little bit, but the other team played well,
executed their game plan, and made a big play at the end.” The Cats have to recover quickly, as their next game holds a lot of weight for the season. NU hosts defending Big Ten Tournament champion Michigan State (6-1-1) (0-0-0) on Sunday afternoon. enriqueperez2016@u.northwestern.edu

The Wildcats fell short during last weekend’s bid at the ITA AllAmerican Championships in Tulsa, Okla., with freshman Sam Shropshire losing in the final qualifying round Monday. Junior Alex Pasareanu, sophomore Mihir Kumar and freshman Konrad Zieba traveled with Shropshire and coach Arvid Swan to the team’s first tournament of the 2013-14 campaign. Swan, though expressing a hint of disappointment in the outcome, said he believes the tournament proved valuable for his players. “On the whole, we had some mixed results, but I think it was a really good experience for the guys to play some of the best players in the country,” he said. All four of Northwestern’s competitors at the tournament were successful in their first round qualifying matches, with Pasareanu advancing on a bye. The team’s matches Saturday were highlighted by Kumar’s decisive two-set victory over Big Ten foe Elliott Yee of Indiana (6-3, 6-1). Kumar described the experience of defeating Yee, a former high school classmate, as a “pressure match.” “But I thought I handled it really

With Homecoming weekend amplified by arguably the biggest football game in recent Northwestern history, the University has pulled out all the stops for the celebration. Leading the parade will be one of the school’s most recognizable faces, Mike Greenberg. Greenberg (Medill ‘89) hosts “Mike and Mike,” a popular morningdrive radio show that is also simulcast on ESPN’s family of networks. Greenberg spoke to The Daily about the thrill of coming home, his favorite athletic memory as a student and Dillo Day. The Daily: After the success of your book “All You Could Ask For,” is writing something you want to pursue more? Mike Greenberg: I definitely see myself writing for a long time. I’m almost finished with my next novel, which will be out next November. I can definitely see myself writing a book every one or two years for the rest of my life. As far as doing “Mike and Mike” is concerned, I don’t have any immediate intention of stopping. I don’t have any idea how much longer we will go. I would say the show has a few more years at minimum, and we’ll see where it goes from there. The Daily: What does it mean to
you to be an icon at the school you attended? MG: I’m just thrilled. I’m really looking forward to speaking to the Medill students. Before I found out I was grand marshal, I was excited to come back to speak to the students. I remember so vividly being a student and when people from the business would come and talk to us, it was such a thrill. It gave me such a feeling, it inspired me to try harder and do better. I particularly hope some of the young men and women in Medill who are interested in broadcasting, if I can answer their questions and inspire them to be more enthusiastic and try harder, that would be great. As far as the parade is concerned, I expect that to be great fun. I remember vividly as a student all the people who would come back for Homecoming. They all seemed so old. Now I’m one of the old people, but I think I’ll feel a little younger that day. If I can feel 20 years old again for one day, I think that will be terrific. The Daily: What is your favorite sports memory as a student? MG: I will never forget beating Indiana on Monday night on national television when they were the defending national champs. It was my junior year, and we beat them in a very close game. My old college roommate, Craig Isaacs, still has Dick Vitale’s game notes from that game. I loved Northwestern basketball. I had a chance to chat with Chris
Collins on the sidelines of the football game a couple weeks ago, and I’m really excited about what he’s going to bring. He’s the right guy to bring us to where we’ve never been before. There’s no question that the single greatest athletic memory from my time was that Indiana game. I think now the football team and hopefully the basketball team are in a position to make many more memories. The Daily: Which would you rather see first, a Rose Bowl berth or NU basketball in the NCAA Tournament? MG: I don’t want to choose between either of those at all. I’ll put it this way, there will be a Rose Bowl played before the next NCAA Tournament. I hope we make this year’s Rose Bowl in football and then make the tournament. Both would be such a thrill. I look forward to someday sitting in the arena and watching Northwestern play in the NCAA Tournament. The Daily: What’s your best Dillo Day story? MG: Most of the Armadillo Day stories I have are ones I don’t want to share. To be completely honest with you, I’m 46 years old now, I’m a father of two and I’m a respected member of the community. There’s absolutely nothing I did on Armadillo Day during my four years at Northwestern that I would ever want anybody to know about. rohannadkarni2015@u.northwestern.edu
