Northwestern alumni and students gathered Friday night for the annual Homecoming parade, which featured student organizations, city groups and University departments.

More than 30 floats paraded in front of Deering Meadow, headed by the NU Marching Band and the NU football team. University

President Morton Schapiro and his family rode down the street and waved at the crowds, followed by Homecoming Grand Marshal Ana Gasteyer (Communication ’89) and her family.

The parade featured several Chicago-area high school marching bands as well as student groups such as Mariachi Northwestern, whose members changed the beat of the music while they strode down Sheridan Road playing guitars and sporting sombreros.

The Homecoming theme is

“Willie in the Windy City.” Residential colleges and Greek organizations paraded with floats and banners designed to depict Chicago life and history, ranging from deep dish pizza, to Al Capone, to the city skyline.

“It was exciting to see students who wanted to represent their residential colleges and schools,” said Amy Glazier-Torgerson, a SESP senior who attended the event.

Five Northwestern alumni spoke on Friday about life after NU in a panel moderated by University President Morton Schapiro.

The panel, titled “Who Are You Because of NU?” was organized by the Office of Alumni Relations and Development and student organizers as part of Homecoming Week.

It was the sixth annual event that Schapiro has led, said Eric Horner (Weinberg ’97), director of reunion programs, alumni relations and development.

Alumni Relations and Development organizes the event and offers a list of about 15 alumni who are successful in their various fields, from which Schapiro ultimately selects the panelists, said Robert McQuinn, vice president for Alumni Relations and Development.

The event, held in Norris University Center, featured alumni from a variety of backgrounds: Jim Kackley (Weinberg ’64), previous president and chief operating officer of Orion Energy Systems Inc.; Terry O’Neill (Weinberg ’74), president of National Organization for Women; Ana Gasteyer (Communication ’89), former Saturday Night Live castmember and Homecoming Grand Marshal; Harreld N. Kirkpatrick III (Weinberg ’94, Kellogg ’97), founding partner and co-CEO of Vistria LLC; and Madhuri Kommareddi (Weinberg ’04), current director of program development for the Office of Hillary Rodham Clinton at the Clinton

Foundation.

The speakers urged current students, alumni and faculty members to maintain humility in the professional environment, to appreciate the community created by NU and to work to better the world while attaining professional success.

“I think failing is a really good thing,” O’Neill said. “I don’t think it’s really necessarily about that backup plan, it’s about actually experiencing the need to find a backup plan.”

Curt’s Cafe, a local restaurant that employs formerly incarcerated young adults, was named a finalist in a social innovation competition, bringing the nonprofit one step closer to winning $50,000.

Project Impact, sponsored by venture philanthropy fund A Better Chicago, announced Friday the finalists for their competition. Project Impact funds fledgling organizations that improve educational and career prospects for low-income Chicago residents. The cafe, along with five other nonprofits nationwide, were chosen to advance out of 11 semifinalists.

Finalists will present their work to a panel of judges Nov. 13, after which three winners will be given $50,000 in funding and a year of management support, according to

Project Impact’s website.

Curt’s, 2922 Central St., provides at-risk young adults with training in food services and life skills.

Founder Susan Trieschmann said the program at Curt’s is crucial to helping youth have a future after prison, noting that many felons return to prison within a year of being released.

“We take in people with black marks on their records, who have to tick the box on job applications,” Trieschmann said.

Trieschmann is looking for ways to expand her work. Two months ago, Evanston residents Kristen Hemingway and Nancy Floy started a Kickstarter campaign to open a second cafe in Evanston.

Trieschmann said the money was raised and she is currently negotiating with the storefront that Floy and Hemingway want to buy.

Serving the University and Evanston since 1881

David Axelrod, former political adviser to President Barack Obama, traveled to Evanston to accept an award Sunday evening from the Democratic Party of Evanston for his political achievements.

At the DPOE’s annual dinner, dozens gathered to honor volunteers for years of political activism and to ramp up support for the upcoming election. Axelrod was given the Yellow Dog Award, one of many honors given out at the event.

Now the director of the Institute of Politics at the University of Chicago, Axelrod spoke to the DPOE about his contributions in the government and about what Illinois needs.

Axelrod’s former boss, Obama, also spent time in the area Sunday, visiting Chicago’s South Side to rally for Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn.

“I know Pat Quinn well,” Axelrod told The Daily. “He has a big heart

and he governs with a big heart. I don’t know a lot about Bruce Rauner but I do know this: Cutting the state budget by $8 billion, freezing property taxes is not the way to improve our schools, it’s not the way to shore up our human services.”

U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Illinois) presented the award and spoke to the incumbent governor’s record on reproductive rights legislation. “(Quinn) is the most pro-woman governor in this country,” she said.

Paul Vallas, Quinn’s running mate for lieutenant governor, spoke on the governor’s campaign. He defended Quinn’s poise in the face of critics and attacked Republican challenger Bruce Rauner’s record as a businessman.

“He’s not the kind of businessman that creates jobs,” Vallas said. “For him it’s all about taking profit and avoiding taxes on that profit. He’s a profit taker, not a job creator.”

With early voting in Illinois opening Monday, DPOE organizers focused heavily on galvanizing volunteers to commit time to

organizing phone banks and getting out the message to vote.

“If we get our people out to vote, we will win,” Schakowsky said.

Leaders also took time to recognize longtime Democratic Party volunteers in Evanston.

Political strategist Robert Creamer won the Abner Mikva Award for his contribution to the party and the community. Cook County commissioner Larry Suffredin called Creamer the “compass” of the DPOE. Creamer focused his speech on “the fierce urgency of now” that the current election demands.

Jane Neumann and Joanne Zolomij received Ted L. Loda Volunteer Awards for years of active dedication and involvement in the DPOE, as well as the work they contributed to various campaigns.

The DPOE honored Bernice Weissbourd for her decades of work in Chicago.

In 1976, Weissbourd founded Family Focus, a Chicago-area organization that works with low» See axelrod, page 10

City groups discuss lowering emissions

By Jacquelyn GUILLEN

the daily northwestern

Environmental leaders and activists spoke Saturday about different initiatives by community members to reduce Evanston’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Sustain Evanston, a network of organizations and people working to improve sustainability in the city, held a meeting at the Evanston Public Library, 1703 Orrington Ave., to discuss multiple different programs organized to improve sustainability.

Catherine Hurley, the city’s sustainable programs coordinator who organizes the Sustain Evanston network, plans the meetings a couple of times a year, said Eleanor Revelle, president of Citizens’ Greener Evanston.

“It’s an opportunity for people to share ideas about what they’re working on individually and then to talk about what we’re doing collectively, like working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” Revelle said.

Revelle began the meeting discussing how Evanston hopes to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions 20 percent by 2016, which is one of the goals of Sustain Evanston. The initiatives that

Police Blotter Highland Park woman arrested in connection with prostitution

An employee at an Evanston massage parlor was arrested Thursday in connection with prostitution, police said.

Police received reports of possible sex acts in exchange for money at a massage parlor in the 1300 block of Sherman Avenue, Evanston police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said. As a result, a special operations group conducted an investigation and sent in an undercover officer, he said.

were presented dealt with reducing transportation and building emissions.

A number of presenters also spoke about bike initiatives. Natalie Watson, founder and chair of Evanston’s Streets Alive!, talked about a plan to encourage more residents to ride bikes.

“We’d like to see a much higher mode-share of biking compared to driving, and we’d like to see safer behavior for both drivers and bicyclists to share the road,” Watson said.

Stefano Jean-Jacques spoke at the meeting about Bicycle Benefits, a nationwide initiative that includes Evanston. The program promotes bicycling and helmet use and recruits businesses to sell $5 Bicycle Benefits stickers for people to wear on their helmets. With the stickers, bikers can receive discounts at member locations, including five Evanston places such as Potbelly Sandwich Shop and Sketchbook Brewing Company.

In addition, Evanston resident Susan Munro spoke about a public awareness video project to promote coexistence between bicyclists, cars and pedestrians, which she hopes to start in Evanston.

She said she’s looking to involve students from Evanston Township High School and Northwestern in her project, saying their input can help make the videos more engaging to viewers.

Other initiatives mentioned included the

Walking School Bus, in which a network of parents walks a group of kids to school each day instead of using cars.

Sharon Feigon, a founder of the Shared-Use Mobility Center, which looks to improve transportation policies, presented a pilot program for peer-to-peer carsharing. The program would allow private car owners in Evanston to rent out their cars to others.

A weatherizing initiative for homes and businesses in Evanston was also presented by resident Leslie Shad, who discussed efficiency in buildings and decreasing energy consumption.

A breakout session followed each presentation, where speakers could gather ideas on how to move forward with their initiatives and recruit more people to their projects.

Revelle said many of the ideas presented were good, but she wasn’t happy with the amount of people at the meeting.

“We were hoping for more people who aren’t already a part of the effort,” she said.

Watson agreed and said that despite having a committed group of environmentalists, it was disappointing to see the lack of community participation.

The officer was propositioned for a sex act in exchange for money during the course of the massage, Parrott said. The Highland Park, Illinois woman, 48, was taken into custody at about 4 p.m. and charged with misdemeanor prostitution, he said.

Detectives will continue an investigation into the business, Parrott said.

The Chicago man then pulled out a knife and pointed it toward the man’s head, police said.

Police arrested the 41-year-old man at the scene and recovered a folding knife from him, Parrott said.

An independent witness verified the account of the man who was attacked, police said. The attacker was charged with misdemeanor aggravated assaults.

AIO joins DG/ZBT DM team to increase inclusivity

By Olivia Exstrum

daily senior staffer @olivesocean

South Asian-interest fraternity Alpha Iota Omicron, a member of the Multicultural Greek Council, will be joining the Delta Gamma/Zeta Beta Tau Dance Marathon team to increase the event’s diversity and inclusiveness.

The DG/ZBT team has been the top fundraising group in DM’s large-group category in recent years, raising $154,319.34 during DM 2014.

“I think probably the biggest reason that some people don’t get involved is that they think if you’re not in a Greek organization it can be really intimidating,” said SESP sophomore Jenny Halpern, DG’s director of DM and a member of DM’s Dancer Relations Committee. “By adding AIO to our team, it not only serves as an example for other groups but also to any individual who wants to participate.”

DM organizers are working this year to be more diverse both multiculturally and socioeconomically after many student groups published a letter to the editor in The Daily saying the philanthropic group was not inclusive enough.

“The organization historically privileges students with racial and socioeconomic advantages on campus,” the letter said, adding the group’s

Campus officials said the workshops will be held in November and then in January, Cal Poly President Jeffrey Armstrong will address key

DANCE ‘TIL YOU DROP Dance Marathon has been working this quarter to make the philanthropic event more inclusive. A letter to the editor published in The Daily by several student groups in April complained the group favors richer, Greek-affiliated students.

“socioeconomic inaccessibility and culture of social exclusivity … result from the marginalization of nonGreek students.”

DM spokesman Ross Gordon, a Medill senior in ZBT, said although DM doesn’t have control over whether other Interfraternity Council and

Panhellenic Association teams will incorporate multicultural Greek organizations, he hopes others will follow DG and ZBT’s lead.

AIO president Vivek Magati, a McCormick junior, said the fraternity currently has 15 members and is aiming for 100 percent attendance at DM this year.

findings that emerge from those meetings.

On Thursday, Cal Poly released its Campus Climate Survey, which consisted of 93 questions posed to university students, staff and faculty on how comfortable they feel at the university.

The 331-page report was made public a week after a 16-page executive summary was released that posted key findings. Cal Poly held two workshops Thursday in conjunction with the release of the full report.

“University administrators are seeing these results for the first time today, along with the rest of the campus,” said Annie Holmes, the university’s executive director of diversity and

inclusivity. “The campus community will now determine how we move forward and implement change.”

A first for Cal Poly, the report examined the “institutional climate, inclusion and work-life issues so that Cal Poly is better informed about the living and working environments for students, faculty and staff,” the study said.

The survey shows that most Cal Poly students believe they are receiving a quality education, while most faculty members reported feeling comfortable and content in their jobs.

But the survey also found reports of sexual assault; minorities who experience levels of

He said the fundraising requirement and substantial time commitment can make it difficult to participate in DM, but he decided to become involved at the urging of his friend, ZBT president Alex Diamond, a McCormick junior.

“I think this is a great integration of all the different facets of Greek life,” Magati said. “When you’re a part of Greek life, you want to share that connection with as many people as possible. This is a huge step forward.”

ZBT philanthropy co-chair Isaac Rappoport, a Weinberg sophomore, said he began considering diversity and inclusion in his DM team last year.

The chairs, along with the DG and ZBT presidents, asked the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life which groups would be interested in joining their team.

About 30 ZBT members and 80 DG members participated in DM last year, Rappoport and Halpern said. This year’s beneficiary is Starlight Children’s Foundation Midwest, an organization that works to improve the lives of children with chronic illnesses.

Magati said he doesn’t want DM’s inclusion efforts to end with AIO joining the DG and ZBT team.

“This will be really inspiring to other MGC fraternities and sororities,” he said. “I’m sure that IFC and PHA will really be inspired as well. It will lead basically to a domino effect.” oliviaexstrum2017@u.northwestern.edu discomfort at much higher rates than whites; and faculty and librarians considering leaving the campus.

ECF holds annual fundraiser for community grants

By Julie Fishbach

the daily northwestern @JulieFishbach

The Evanston Community Foundation held its annual benefit Sunday evening to raise money to fund the organization’s community grants.

“The event builds community to have the people who support the foundation together,” said Sara Schastok, ECF’s president and CEO. “It makes for a very nice party of people who really care and are dedicated and appreciative of what Evanston residents can do together.”

More than 300 community members attended the Celebrate!Evanston benefit at the Michigan Shores Club, 911 Michigan Ave., in Wilmette.

The event, titled the “Bounty of Evanston,” was moved to a larger venue this year after last year’s fundraiser at the Levy Senior Center, 300 Dodge

Ave., reached its capacity. Tickets were sold for $150, and additional money was raised through donations.

The foundation supports groups that are primarily based in Evanston and serve its residents in a significant way, Schastok said. ECF aims to help community organizations grow in new initiatives.

“We like to give grants that support partnership,” Celebrate!Evanston co-chair Lisa Altenbernd said.

NBC5 reporter Christian Farr and ECF board member Kevin Mott emceed the evening.

During the event, attendees participated in a cake contest in which they voted for their favorite desserts prepared by Evanston bakeries and restaurants. They also watched a live performance and stage parody, “The Wizard of EvanstOz.” The performance included cameo appearances from State Rep. Robyn Gabel (D-Evanston) and other leading Evanston

residents.

Following a threecourse dinner, prizes were auctioned off, The grants help including a San Francisco getaway and make Evanston a suite for 12 at a a stronger Chicago Blackhawks community. game.

Celebrate!Evanston Celebrate!Evanston co-chair co-chair Mar y Finnegan said the funds help the foundation provide grants to different community groups.

“The grants help make Evanston a stronger community,” she said. “They help make Evanston thrive.”

“

ECF has been Dance Marathon’s secondary beneficiary for 17 years and received more than $103,000 last year. Twenty members of the committee’s executive board volunteered at the event, assisting in selling bracelets and other activities.

Finnegan said this year’s benefit was the biggest year for sponsorship and attendees. ECF’s largest benefactors include Madison Dearborn Partners LLC, Hagerty Consulting Inc. and IRMCO. Schastok said Evanston is at a disadvantage, being located just outside of Chicago, the philanthropic capital of Illinois. Although poverty has been increasing in the suburbs, fundraising has not.

“No one else is going to do it for us,” she said.

“We like to say yes.”

3 city businesses compete for $150K from Chase Bank

By Julia Jacobs

the daily northwestern @jujuubilee

Three Evanston businesses qualified Friday to be considered for a $150,000 grant from Chase Bank.

Through the Mission Main Street Grants, Chase awards 20 for-profit small businesses nationwide a total of $3 million each year.

Between Sept. 3 and Oct. 17, applicants had to amass at least 250 votes to be considered by a panel of entrepreneurs for the grant.

In addition to the $150,000 grant, benefits include a free workshop with small business experts from Google, $2,000 toward a Google market research study and a Google Chromebook.

Out of the 15 Evanston businesses that applied, Akemi Fitness Method studio,

which offers dance-based alternative workout classes, is one of three that made it to the next round. Owner Jocelyn Davis said she would use the grant money One of the to open a larger biggest reasons studio, hire more instructors and why I’m in this promote holistic is to bring health by bringing in a dietitian community to consult with together. clients. Davis said her more distant Amy Dale, goals include owner of Green expanding outEdens Horticultural side of Evanston Services Inc. and creating her own fitness app.

“

really take my dream to the next level,” Davis said.

Amy Dale, owner of Green Edens Horticultural Services Inc., another Evanston business that qualified, said she would use part of the grant to rent a new home for her 3-year-old business.

Additionally, Dale would hire an employee to help her manage the company, as well as build greenhouses that could serve as classrooms for her to teach locals how to grow their own organic food.

“One of the biggest reasons why I’m in this is to bring community together,” Dale said.

Dale said Green Edens has taken off without the help of advertisement, thriving purely off satisfied customers spreading their pro-environment mission to friends and family.

Similarly, MESTRENGTH Inc., a plantbased sports mix drink company and the third business to qualify for the grant, garnered

262 votes in 10 days entirely through word of mouth, CEO Sam Potter said. The mission of MESTRENGTH is to provide an alternative to sugar and calorie-filled sports drinks to help people pursue a healthier lifestyle, he said. The grant would allow the company to amplify its marketing strategy by hiring a full-time salesperson, as well as a local firm to help boost its social media presence.

“A grant of this size would help fund the business for years to come,” Potter said. “It wouldn’t just be us buying a new piece of equipment and that’s it, or building a slightly larger space. It would truly be game-changing for us.”

In the past two years of Mission Main Street Grants, no Illinois business has been chosen as a recipient. Chase will announce this year’s winners in January. juliajacobs2018@u.northwestern.edu

ETHS geometry, construction class enters 2nd year By benjamin din

the daily northwestern @benjamindin

Evanston Township High School is offering a class for a second year in which students work to build an affordable house for a low-income family.

The course, called Geometry in Construction, teaches students geometry through practical applications. The class launched last academic year and is taught by ETHS teachers Matthew Kaiser and Maryjoy Heineman.

“Learning geometry while sort of learning the skills of carpentry and all those other kinds of things we thought was pretty cool and aligned with our vision of creating more interdisciplinary options and opportunities for students,” ETHS principal Marcus Campbell said.

The course takes up two class periods blocked into one, providing more time for instruction.

Students learn geometry and work on construction on alternating days of the week, said Heineman, an ETHS math teacher.

Heineman said the student response to the course has been positive. Even parents have been getting involved, he said, forming a support group to address any needs that may arise in the class.

“Once students are involved in the course, they really find that the applied learning gives them a whole new perspective in math and allows them to really visualize and comprehend sometimes really abstract concepts,” said Kaiser, an ETHS career and technical education

Domino’s Pizza eyes Evanston for new location near NU Northwestern students may soon have yet another option to order late night pizza.

National pizza chain Domino’s Pizza is looking to open its doors at 911 Foster St. in Evanston, located next to the Foster Street CTA station.

constructive class time Evanston Township High School students have started to construct a two-story house in the school’s parking lot. The project is part of a class in which students learn geometry through hands-on experience and build housing for a low-income family.

teacher. “It’s been very well received by the student population.”

ETHS hosts Community Build Days on select Saturdays throughout the school year. The build days allow ETHS staff and members of the Evanston community to participate in construction, which takes place at the ETHS parking lot on

Lake Street and Grey Avenue.

“We are so fortunate to have the kind of volunteer support that we get from the whole group on Community Build Days,” Heineman said. “We do have people who’ve never met each other now working together for this greater cause.”

The chain’s new location is up for discussion at the city’s Site Plan and Appearance Review Committee on Wednesday. Staff will vote to recommend approval of the pizza place to the Zoning Board of Appeals.

Currently, the closest Domino’s location to Evanston is in Wilmette, 350 Ridge Road. However, much of Evanston is located outside of the store’s delivery zone, making delivery unavailable to NU students.

Staff from Domino’s submitted paperwork Friday to apply for a permit, said Lorrie Pearson,

the city’s planning and zoning division manager.

The permit will allow for owners to do interior design work at the location, she said.

Domino’s will add to the influx of pizza restaurants the city has seen wanting to open in Evanston over the last few months, the city’s community development director Mark Muenzer said.

“We really have every type, from national chains like Domino’s to these much more specialty brands like 800 Degrees (Neapolitan Pizzeria) and Blaze (Pizza) and things like that,”

CHOOSE YOUR CLASSES

The house built by last year’s class currently stands at 1941 Jackson Ave., a lot that was donated by the city. Subcontractors are expected to put the finishing touches on the house by the end of October, at which point it will go on the market, Kaiser said. Community Partners for Affordable Housing, a Highland Park, Illinois-based nonprofit, will broker the sale of the property.

This year, students are building a two-story house with three bedrooms and two and a half baths, compared to last year’s single-story house. It is expected to be 100 to 200 square feet larger than last year’s approximately 1,300 square foot house, Kaiser said. The house will be shipped to 1820 Dodge Ave. upon completion, a few blocks north of ETHS. Both Kaiser and Heineman said timing was a big issue in last year’s course, especially with the adverse weather conditions of the past winter.

This year, though, construction is three weeks ahead of where it was last year, Campbell said.

Campbell said he attributes the success of the course to the community’s outstanding response, citing support from the city, Evanston Lumber and local contractors, electricians and architects.

“A lot of times with schools, you’re dealing with a lot of hypothetical situations. You’re given a lot of practice situations, but this is a real-time live event,” Campbell said. “It’s very exciting, so I’m very proud of our students. I’m proud of the staff.

NU should adopt more online discussion sections bethany ao

Daily columnist

When I walked to one of my discussion sections this week with one of my friends, we rehearsed what we were going to say to “contribute” to the class to get a satisfactory participation grade.

“OK, OK, you ask about this topic,” she said, “and then I can mention this part in our reading, and you can bounce off that with your next point.”

“Yeah, sounds good,” I agreed.

But in my head, I began thinking about how ridiculous it was that we had to plan out what we were going to say in front of our teaching assistant so meticulously. Is a discussion section even constructive when students feel like they have to plan out what they want to say in advance before even stepping foot into the classroom?

Northwestern students are some of the most intelligent and articulate people I’ve ever met. More than once, I’ve found myself

nodding along to a point someone made in one of my discussion sections. The variety of opinions and viewpoints the students here bring to a classroom lends color and dimension to the course material that we study.

However, when a discussion section gets narrowed down to nothing but an opportunity to collect mandatory participation points, the classroom environment becomes incredibly uncomfortable with all the intellectual jockeying that goes on.

As an introvert, there were times when I found it hard to speak up in a discussion because I felt like my TA or classmates were judging me when talking was rendered mandatory. There were also times that I would blurt out something that contributed nothing to the ongoing discussion simply to get my participation points. Both of those things prevent a discussion section from reaching its full potential.

One of my professors last year came up with a good solution to avoid these things from happening — online discussion sections. Instead of grading us on what we said in class, she chose to let us post our thoughts on readings online. Every Sunday, I would log onto Blackboard and read all my classmates’

“

These forums also give people a chance to really focus on what their classmates say instead of being preoccupied with how they’re going to phrase their own thoughts.

thoughts about the course material before writing my own. Oftentimes, I would refer to another classmate’s thoughts in my post.

Everyone had a chance to express opinions through online sections instead of feeling pressured to speak up during the course of one discussion section. It was also easier for us to have constructive talks in class because we could cite our classmates’ points easily from what they’ve written. And without the pressure of having to earn participation points in lecture, I felt more comfortable sharing my thoughts as they were, without considering what my professor may want to hear.

However, online sections are not perfect either. Sometimes my classmates were not interested in expressing their opinions in

person because they had already done so online, and that took away from the discussion. Other times, I would take offense in something someone had written because I interpreted their opinion with a certain tone, only to find out later that they hadn’t meant their point in the way I read it.

More professors at NU should consider holding discussion sections online, as it allows for introverted students to find a space to express their sincere thoughts on course material. Online discussion forums supplement section by providing stepping stones to build more concrete insights. These forums also give people a chance to really focus on what their classmates say instead of being preoccupied with how they’re going to phrase their own thoughts when called on to speak.

It’s time to cut the pressure that comes with feeling like you have to speak up about something, just for the sake of saying something in class, by reformatting traditional discussion sections.

Pandering to millennial generation is silly but effective madeline burg

Daily columnist

I love being catered to. I love it when you flatter my vanity and stroke my ego. I want you to make me feel like I’m the only girl in the world, the only one that you’ve ever loved.

The only one that knows your heart.

As a twenty-something and staunch millennial, I know that I’m the demographic that everyone loves to hate and hates to have to tailor their ad campaigns to, if they want to sell anything at all. But they’ll do it. They’ll read up on the latest cultural memes, force themselves to become fluent in social media and scramble desperately to cultivate the insouciant tone of mild disinterest and superiority, the one they sense is the only tone we’ll find accessible. We are cool, and we are the authority on cool, and we’re ready to be pandered to. Don’t pout about it, advertisers.

Take a tip from first lady Michelle Obama and just give in.

I love people who are not part of our generation trying to be “with it.” I’m not trying to be snarky; I honestly think it’s adorable and

also a fascinating comment on the power of age demographics. So this week when I saw our first lady’s recent gift to social media, my shrieks were not of disdain. They were of pure appreciation. The Obama administration has eagerly rocketed into the 21st century, taking wholeheartedly to Facebook, Twitter and more recently Vine. The White House has a Vine channel. What a world we live in.

Last Tuesday, Michelle Obama participated in a question-and-answer session on the Vine app, answering posts tagged with #AskTheFirstLady by posting from the White House channel. She takes every opportunity to publicize her “Let’s Move!” campaign, promoting healthy eating and living for our nation’s youth, and what better place to reach the nation’s youth than on social media?

In a surprisingly informed move, the first lady responded to another Vine user’s query about how many calories she burns every time she “turns up” by softly head-bopping to Lil Jon’s smash hip-hop single of last year, “Turn Down For What” while holding a bright purple turnip. “Turnip for what?” asks the first lady. Turnip for healthy eating. And turnip for a beautiful marriage of persistent cultural memes and social media trends, Michelle Obama. Whoever came up with this Vine concept demonstrates a shrewd acuity regarding pop culture awareness. I’d like

to believe this was Michelle Obama herself.

Aided by Sasha and Malia Obama, possibly. Is President Barack Obama a Lil Jon fan?

If not, the people of Rock the Vote definitely are.

Earlier this We are a month the generation that will nonprofit organionly do something if zation we can defend it under released a music the banner of irony . I video feawill eat turnips if I can turing Lil giggle at the irony of the Jon and a coterie White House of other celebrities dancing to a remix of “Turn Down For What,” modified to “Turn Out For What.”

The answer is voting, and Rock the Vote is using this remix as the anthem for mid-term elections, trying to get younger voters to the polls. Either everyone believes that we millennials accept Lil Jon as our patron saint or somebody’s been doing their meme research.

Lena Dunham, Natasha Lyonne, Darren Criss and other celebrities jam out with Lil Jon and explain for what they’re “turning out”: reproductive rights, prison reform, education, marriage equality and, on Lil Jon’s part,

“

legalization of marijuana. Glitter confetti fills the air; there is breakdancing. The polls are the place to be. Fred Armisen of “Portlandia” fame admits that he’s turning out because he wants to impress his friends, “the only reason to ever do anything.”

People are outraged in the comments section of this YouTube video, but what else is new? These are the people that have yet to understand the undercurrent of irony that pervades every single thing twentysomethings do. We are a generation that will only do something if we can defend it under the banner of irony. I will eat turnips if I can giggle at the irony of the White House stooping to Vine levels. I will vote if I can make fun of the people who think that Lil Jon swinging a giant joint around the voting booths will make me want to “turn out.” I’m not offended by sweet, slightly clumsy attempts to pander to my demographic. I find it endearing. And if it gets me to do what they want me to do, like eat healthy and exercise my civic duty as an American citizen, I see no problem with it. Turnip for the unwitting employment of irony.

Letter to the Editor

We need more Hispanic, Latino leaders in classrooms This month I had the privilege of celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month alongside 18 strong, resilient and energetic pre-kindergarten students. So what does Hispanic Heritage Month look, sound and taste like in South Chicago? My classroom was filled with the patter of maracas and jazz, plates of tamales and mangos were shared and our walls were decorated in small colorful blocks to resemble the Templo Mayor in Mexico.

Although my students are young — just three to five years old — I wanted our celebrations to be as rich and vibrant as my students themselves.

This holiday represents a powerful opportunity for our tiny classroom community — one that allows me to share more about myself, to expand my students’ conceptions of what it means to be Latino and to learn more about the unique culture and stories they bring to school every day. Knowing that my students are so young and their educational journeys so new, during this month in particular, I cannot help but look to their futures.

By 2040, nearly one out of every four U.S. citizens will identify as Hispanic. But as we see Latino leadership rising across the country, there’s one leadership shortage

that hits home for me. Today, just 8 percent of teachers identify as Latino. This gap has real, immediate implications for Hispanic students and is a big part of what ultimately brought me to Chicago to help my students become the leaders their community needs.

I wanted my classroom to be a place where my students feel empowered. To ensure that every aspect of my teaching is focused on fostering the leadership of my students, we anchor our classroom around three pillars — “leaders who learn, love and listen.” In return, I see my students live out their leadership every day — sharing craft supplies, helping classmates tie a shoe and learning how to be persistent when they do not succeed the first time at a task. Over the course of our year together, I know these tiny moments will add up to the habits and mindsets that will serve my students for a lifetime.

This focus on Latino leadership resonates with me personally. Growing up, I was really lucky to live in an area with great public schools, but my family didn’t share the same socioeconomic background as many of our neighbors and classmates. Throughout middle and high school, other students and adults were quick to point this out.

When I was admitted to Northwestern

my senior year, people told me I was filling a diversity quota for the University. By the time I arrived in Evanston, I suffered from severe self-doubt and it took several great professors at NU to show me that my background and my Latina identity are not obstacles to overcome, but an asset to leverage for my community. I teach my students to believe in their leadership because I never want them to doubt their worth in society, not for even a minute.

The path towards meaningful change has been taken by regular people committed to making extraordinary things possible. As a Teach For America corps member, I know that I’m part of a growing network of Latino leaders, answering the call to fight for social justice in the classroom.

Great teachers come from all backgrounds, identities and experiences, but we are united by this difficult and deeply inspiring work. Every day, I am challenged to play a role in the future I imagine and humbled to work with a group of students whose resilience and kindness never cease to amaze.

As you imagine your own future, I hope you’ll join us in becoming leaders.

‘The Laramie Project’ to host LGBT discussion the daily northwestern @marianaa_alfaro

Communication Prof. Rives Collins said he was looking for a good story to tell when he decided to direct “The Laramie Project.”

The play opens Friday as part of the Virginia Wadsworth Wirtz Center for Performing Arts mainstage season. It focuses on aftermath of the death of Matthew Shepard, a gay college student who was beaten and tortured in Laramie, Wyoming in 1998. After each performance, the theater will host talkbacks with different speakers related to LGBT issues to discuss “the evolving definitions of family and community,” according to the School of Communication.

“The play is actually a mosaic to the community’s response to the murder,” Collins said.

“In the aftermath of the murder … a theater company called the Tectonic Theater Project

heads to Wyoming to interview members of the community to try to seek some kind of understanding.”

Written by Moises Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project, the play was named “one of the best ten plays of the year”

by Time magazine in 2000. Shepard’s death has gained widespread attention in the LGBT rights movement and led to the passage of a 2009 hate crime prevention law.

“I hope that students are interested in a story that is about someone who is exactly their age,” Collins said. “It is a good moment to bring it to stage.”

Grace Overbeke, the play’s dramaturg who researches the context of a play, said she hopes the audience will relate to the play’s story.

“I think ‘The Laramie Project’ has already resonated quite deeply in the LGBT community here,” said Overbeke, a theater and drama doctoral candidate at NU. “I think this play is about empowerment, and the way that the sense of belonging that people feel oftentimes

depends on universal compassion. I feel like a lot of people will see themselves in Laramie.”

I feel like demic year, a lot of people will see Collins said. themselves in Laramie.

“The Grace Overbeke, actors are dramaturg stunning and they have been brave in their research project, meeting with terrific guests that shared their

stories with us,” he said. “This process has been a journey of discovery.”

Talkbacks after the performances will feature several people from Evanston and Chicago who will share their perspectives on the play with the audience. Speakers include Tracy Baim, executive editor of LGBT-centric newspaper Windy City Times, Damon Hainline, a marriage equality and LGBT activist, University Police Sgt. Haydee Martinez and Bill Farmer, a teacher and Gay/Straight Student Alliance adviser at Evanston Township High School.

Audience members can also visit “Not Alone: The Power of Response,” an exhibit that opens a half hour before each performance. The exhibit features letters from people affected by Shepard’s death.

“The Laramie Project” runs from Oct. 24 to Nov. 2 with 7:30 p.m. shows on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and a 2 p.m. show on Sundays at the Ethel M. Barber Theater.

in July 2013 in connection with weapons possession, police said.

A jury found Aikens guilty last month for the offense of armed habitual criminal at the Cook County Circuit Court in Skokie, police said.

Aikens is required to serve 85 percent of the sentence in prison due to the seriousness of the offense, police said.

Evanston police originally arrested Aikens and another felon, Antoine Hill, in July 2013,

police said.

Officers approached the two men July 16, 2013, in the 1800 block of Brown Avenue after seeing Aikens, who was wanted for a Pennsylvania narcotics warrant at the time, police said.

The two men fled on foot, but police caught up with them and found two loaded 9 mm handguns in their possession. The two were charged with unlawful use of weapons by a felon.

Before the incident, Hill was convicted of an Evanston homicide in 2005.

He was found guilty of second-degree murder of the shooting of an Evanston man, 22, inside The Keg of Evanston, which was located at 810 Grove St., police said. Hill was released on parole in 2012.

Hill is still awaiting trial for the 2013 arrest.

police said.

Two men, armed with handguns, entered a bar in East Hazel Crest, Illinois, and ordered all patrons to get to the floor, police said.

Parade

“

This is the closest I’ll ever get to a Homecoming court.

From page 1 moved to Deering Meadow, where the marching band played songs that covered decades from the 1950s to today, including Elvis Presley’s “Hound Dog” and “Y.M.C.A.” by Village People. They also surprised the crowd by dancing to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.”

Schapiro took the stage to address students, alumni and their families.

“I want to keep this brief,” he said. “I want to see who wins Homecoming king and queen.”

Speaking to the Homecoming Court, he added, “You guys nervous? Yeah, you should be, it’s a big deal in your life.”

He encouraged alumni to attend Homecoming panels, parties and other events.

“I hope you’re reacquainting yourself with our beloved University,” he said.

Coach Pat Fitzgerald gave a shout out to the class of ’64, which was celebrating its 50-year anniversary.

Curt’s

From page 1 Impact, she said she plans to use the management support and networking opportunities to open a storefront in Chicago.

“I’m already looking at a place,” she said. “It has to be in a safe neighborhood … we can’t have our students close to gang areas … The more stores we have, the more people we can help.”

Curt’s currently sends about 30 students

National News Supreme Court allows Texas to require photo IDs for voting

WASHINGTON — A divided Supreme Court early Saturday morning let a new Texas voter ID law take effect, the latest ruling in a series of decisions on voting laws in the states just weeks before midterm elections.

The court’s decision means Texas voters starting Oct. 20 must present one of several forms of photo identification.

“We are pleased that the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed that Texas’ voter ID law should remain in effect for the upcoming election,” Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott’s office said in a statement. Spokeswoman Lauren Bean added that the state “will continue to defend the voter ID law.”

The court’s majority did not issue a written explanation for the ruling issued about 5 a.m. But Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote emphatically on behalf of herself and two other dissenters.

Ana Gasteyer, Homecoming grand marshal and actress

“That team was rated number one in the country,” he said, “and that’s what we aspire to be.”

Gasteyer then stepped on the stage with the Homecoming Court. She joked with the crowd before crowning the queen and king, Communication seniors Lindsay Charles and Sean Earley.

“I was sort of hoping for a sash,” Gasteyer said.

“This is the closest I’ll ever get to a Homecoming court.”

Homecoming co-chair Lakin Davis told The Daily that organizers considered Gasteyer, a former “Saturday Night Live” cast member and Broadway actress, for the role of Grand Marshal

when they found out she was already expected on campus for a panel with Schapiro earlier on Friday.

“When we found out she was coming for that, we wondered if she would be willing to extend her stay on campus,” said Davis, a Weinberg senior.

“When we contacted her, she was very excited for it. She ended up being a very good marshal.”

Davis said the crowd that turned out for the parade was the biggest she had seen.

Alumni and their families chatted and shared anecdotes on Deering Meadow during and after the festivities. Maureen Young (Weinberg ’86) and Steve Young (Communication ’89) said they were supporting their freshman daughter, who was playing with the marching band.

Maureen Young said her favorite NU memory was meeting Steve Young.

“I’m so delighted that our daughter is here,” she added. “We had such a good experience at Northwestern.” marianaalfaro2018@u.northwestern.edu

through the program each year, Trieschmann said. Evanston probation officers and social service agencies refer students to the program.

After the program concludes, Curt’s assists students in finding their next jobs.

“Our graduates now work at Domino’s, Office Depot, Walmart, Edzo’s, all over Evanston,” Trieschmann said.

Edzo’s Burger Shop, 1571 Sherman Ave., is one of the biggest employers of Curt’s graduates.

“I employed five guys from Curt’s,” said Scott

Brooker, chef manager at Edzo’s Evanston location. “80 percent are excellent, 20 percent I got to keep on top of them a little bit.”

Brooker said he wanted to give back to the community by helping out kids who are turned away from other employment opportunities.

Trieschmann will present her work at the finals event in a few weeks. Curt’s has the advantage of working with a demographic that is not really noticed, she said.

“The greatest threat to public confidence in elections in this case is the prospect of enforcing a purposefully discriminatory law, one that imposes an unconstitutional poll tax and risks denying the right to vote to hundreds of thousands of eligible voters,” Ginsburg wrote.

Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan joined Ginsburg in dissent. The court’s order did not say how the other justices voted, though at least five must have agreed with the decision.

The liberal group Alliance for Justice denounced the ruling as a “big setback for voting rights,” while prominent Democrat Donna Brazile declared the high court’s actions are “so hurtful to democracy.”

The decision extends the conservativedominated Supreme Court’s role in the 2014 elections, as justices had previously reversed trial judges or appellate courts to let restrictive voter eligibility laws take effect in Ohio and North Carolina.

In Wisconsin, the court blocked state officials from implementing new voter ID requirements. In all of the cases, the laws may remain

subject to scrutiny under continued litigation; the immediate question was whether the laws would be allowed to take effect for the November election.

The Supreme Court’s role this campaign season reflects, in part, the maturing of litigation over voter eligibility laws adopted by many states in the last several years. Critics pointedly note that a court controlled by five Republican appointees has empowered voter eligibility laws that critics say target minority voters.

The Supreme Court’s conservative majority, moreover, had an indirect hand in the state actions. The court’s 5-4 decision in 2013 striking down a key plank of the Voting Rights Act effectively gave a green light to the states seeking to regulate voting without first getting federal approval, called preclearance.

“These measures likely would not have survived federal preclearance,” Ginsburg said in the North Carolina case.

Kackley, a University trustee, said students need to be careful about taking on too many obligations and should make time for thought and independent reading.

Each panelist also offered a one-liner to describe NU. Kirkpatrick’s one-liner, “Reach for your stars with your feet on the ground,” echoed Schapiro’s conclusion about the student body as “the most incredible students in the world without the same levels of entitlement at other universities.”

Communication freshman Matthew Burgess agreed with Kirkpatrick’s description of the school. Burgess, who expected “a boring alumni panel,” said the event helped him to understand how connected the community is.

After the event, Kommareddi told The Daily she hoped attendees realized that not all students need to immediately know their career plans.

“You have to have confidence that even if you are not following the path that you think you should be on or the path that you see others on, that’s okay because everyone becomes who they are in a different way and it’s going to be okay,” she said.

Horner said he was pleased with the event.

“Our alumni responded and said they really liked it and thought this was the best it’s been,” he said. laurensonnenberg2018@u.northwestern.edu

No. 9 Northwestern (11-5, 5-1 Big Ten) traveled to Michigan for the second consecutive weekend and again split its two games, this time losing to No. 14 Michigan (10-5, 5-1) and beating Michigan State (8-7, 3-4).

On the statistics sheet, the Wildcats struggled in their fight against the Wolverines, losing out in every significant category. NU only racked up seven shots

5 2

on the day, five on goal, tallied only five penalty corners and scored only 1 goal.

Michigan, on the flip side, had 12 shots, seven on goal, and scored 2 of those along with 11 penalty corners. According to NU coach Tracey Fuchs though, the stats did not fully represent what happened on the field.

“They don’t tell the true story of the game,” Fuchs said. “Michigan had a lot of repeat corners. It was a great game going back and forth, but then they were in control late in the second half.”

The Cats struck early with a goal from sophomore Dominique Masters

after only 7 minutes and 36 seconds had passed in the game. After that goal though, the attack seemed to stall and would bounce back and forth with the Wolverines. Despite the lull, NU still had heart.

“We were ready to come out fighting,” Masters said. “We knew it was going to be a really tough game, and we were ready to go. It just didn’t go our way in the end. We fought until the end, but we fell short a couple of times. In the end we kind of let calls dictate the game. Every single person was fighting all the way.”

The loss fueled the fire for the Cats against the Spartans. According to Masters, the team had something to prove after the loss to the Wolverines.

“It was a statement game,” Masters said. “We were kind of proving we should’ve come out on top against Michigan. We just wanted to prove that

against Michigan State. We had (Michigan State) in our line, and we executed corners really well. They tried to get back in it after the first half and scored 2 goals. That was a wake-up call for the second half that we needed to fight back and got some insurance goals.”

NU ran the field against the Spartans, striking early and often. 3 of the 5 total goals for the Cats came in the first 17 minutes of play with Masters, junior Lisa McCarthy and redshirt sophomore Lauren Bernardi all netting the ball. Bernardi’s goal was her first of the season.

In the second half, Michigan State struck first, getting 2 goals within two minutes of each other. After those goals, NU took control of the game and coasted to another conference victory and scored 2 more insurance goals in the process.

“We wanted to get ourselves back on

the right foot after (Michigan),” Troncelliti said. “We worked together well with our passing and helped each other out getting back (on defense). We got back into our game.”

Fuchs was also pleased her team bounced back after the loss to Michigan.

“It was a big game for us to come back after the loss,” Fuchs said. “(Against Michigan State) we really wanted to finish everything. We had some great goals and our corner execution was really nice.”

Because of the loss to Michigan, the Wolverines and Cats are tied for the best conference record but NU drops to No. 2 in the conference. Since NU lost the head-to-head matchup, Michigan is No. 1. michaelmarut2016@u.northwestern.edu

Pianin shines, NU struggles at Pre-Nationals meet

By MAX SCHUMAN

the daily northwestern

Powered by an impressive performance by sophomore Jena Pianin, Northwestern clawed its way to 31st place in the team standings at Saturday’s Pre-Nationals Invitational in Terre Haute, Indiana.

The meet, which was held on a 6K course that will also host the 2014 NCAA Division 1 Championships, brought together 43 of the nation’s finest teams and nearly 300 runners.

Pianin was able to push through the crowd in the largest meet the Cats have attended this year to finish tied for 33rd with a time of 21:21.0. She set a personal

record in a 6K race and bested her season-best at that length by more than 30 seconds.

“Jena was fabulous,” coach April Likhite said. “She started fast and ran a smart race. She was right where we needed her to be.”

With the coaches pushing for an aggressive start to the race, Pianin knew she was set up for a big run right from the beginning.

“I got out fast,” Pianin said. “Even in a big meet like that I knew I was in a good place from the start.”

Even with Pianin’s strong performance, the gap between her finish and those of her teammates limited NU’s ceiling in the final team standings.

“We came into the meet thinking that

we could finish top-20, or on a good day for us finish top-15, so we were a bit disappointed,” Likhite said.

Sophomore Andrea Ostenso came in at 22:14.4 to claim 124th, a disappointing finish in the eyes of her coach.

“We wanted Jena and Andi to finish in the top 40,” Likhite said. “The gap between them shouldn’t be that large.

We’re counting on the two of them being big for us going forward.”

Junior Camille Blackman pulled in 167th-place with a time of 22:31.6. Both Ostenso and Blackman finished well off the pace of their 6K season-bests, set at the Big Ten Preview meet in September.

Junior Elena Barham finished 182nd with a time of 22:36.2, and freshman Isabel Seidel closed out the scorers for

the Cats with a time of 23:05.0, good for 232nd.

The meet was a national measuringstick for NU, with six nationally-ranked teams in the field. No.4 Georgetown claimed first place, with No. 3 Oregon, No. 1 Michigan, No. 7 Colorado and No. 29 NC State rounding out the top five.

With the Big Ten Championships rapidly approaching, the Cats also had an opportunity to measure themselves against other Big Ten teams in the field.

NU was the lowest-placing of the four Big Ten teams in attendance, behind Michigan, Penn State and Purdue.

“We’ve got to improve our 3-4-5 spots, whoever they may be,” Likhite said.

“We’ve had a day to process the meet and we’ve talked about it and we’re going to

refocus for the Big Ten meet.”

Meanwhile, Pianin will look to build on her showing going into championship season.

“Mentally, it’s preparing for all the scenarios that can come up in big meets,” she said of her preparation for the upcoming championship meets. “Physically, I’ll train hard, stay fit, and work on my kick, because that’ll be big when it matters.”

This meet was the final meet for the Cats’ top runners before the Big Ten Championships in Iowa City on Nov. 2.

NU will send a contingent to the Illini Open in Champaign on Oct. 24 with the goal of qualifying several additional runners for the conference meet. maxschuman2018@u.northwestern.edu

Homecoming Heartbreak Abdullah runs past Cats’ defense on way to blowout No. 19 Nebraska

38

Northwestern

17

By ROHAN NADKARNI

daily senior staffer @Rohan_NU

The only thing in common between Saturday’s Nebraska-Northwestern matchup and last year’s was the chant of “Go Big Red” at the end of the game.

The Wildcats (3-4, 2-2 Big Ten) fell to the No. 19 Cornhuskers 38-17 in front of a sold-out homecoming crowd Saturday night. Last year, the Cornhuskers needed a last-second Hail Mary to clinch a victory. This season, it was no fluke. NU was just beaten by a better team.

The Cats’ defense wore down in the second half. Special teams left a lot to be desired. And NU’s offense continued to struggle producing any big plays. Add it up, and NU hardly looked to be the Big Ten contender it seemed to be two weeks into conference play.

The second half was when the cracks in the Cats’ armor turned into gaping holes. Nursing a 17-14 lead at halftime, NU allowed the Cornhuskers (6-1, 2-1) to score the game’s next 21 points. The

defense, stout in the first half, allowed Nebraska’s Ameer Abdullah to run wild in the final 30 minutes. After only nine carries for 39 yards in the first half, Abdullah finished with 23 carries for 146 yards and four touchdowns.

“He’s a great player. He’s a big-time player,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said of Abdullah. “He’s a senior, right? That’s great. I’m going to send him a present for his graduation.”

The Cornhuskers’ offense kept the Cats’ defense on the field by converting third down after third down. NU’s offense seemingly couldn’t move past an invisible wall at midfield in the second half, spending most of it backed up in its own territory. Another rough outing for junior punter Chris Gradone made it nearly impossible for the Cats to flip field position.

Junior quarterback Trevor Siemian was the primary culprit for his unit’s struggles. His pocket presence was lacking, and his inability to deal with the Nebraska blitz killed many drives.

In the first half, with NU leading 7-0, Siemian threw an egregious interception into triple coverage. It was the first obvious mistake in an offensive effort that left plays and points on the field before completely shutting down in the second half.

“I think they loaded up the box. We had to throw to win,” Fitzgerald said of what changed in the second half. “It

JUST NOT ENOUGH Justin Jackson runs the ball on one of his 22 carries. The freshman accumulated 99 of his 128 yards in the first half, as Northwestern allowed the game’s final 24 points to lose 38-17.

looked like we had some one-on-one losses up front. We have to sustain drives.”

Fitzgerald noted that Siemian’s ankle injury, which he suffered in week two against Northern Illinois, is still a factor in the junior’s performance. According to Fitzgerald, Siemian is still not close to being 100 percent healthy.

The poor showing wasted another sterling performance from freshman running back Justin Jackson. Jackson finished with 22 carries for 128 yards and two touchdowns, his third straight game

with more than 100 yards rushing.

“I just go out there and play hard,” Jackson said. “But this week we didn’t play well enough.”

NU started positively, leading 7-0 after the first quarter. After Siemian’s interception, the team’s traded touchdowns until a field goal on the Cats’ final drive of the first half gave them the 17-14 lead. After halftime, Abdullah capped off three Nebraska scoring drives with 1-yard touchdown runs. NU had four three-and-outs in their first five drives of the second half, sinking any hope of

a response.

The game was a turnaround from the previous three meetings between the teams since the Cornhuskers joined the Big Ten in 2011, which were decided by a combined seven points.

“We didn’t show up the way we should have,” junior safety Traveon Henry said. “We just need to show up a little bit more. It’s on us to get the job done. We still have a lot of Big Ten games, our goals are still in check.”

Nebraska dominates NU on offense, defense in 24-0 second half

By ALEX PUTTERMAN

daily senior staffer @AlexPutt02

Just before halftime, with the score tied, Northwestern broke a pair of big plays to find itself with a first down at the Nebraska 13-yard line.

But after two incompletions and a short rush, the Wildcats settled for a field goal to take a 17-14 halftime lead.

They wouldn’t come close to scoring again.

With NU’s offense unproductive and its defense unable to get off the field, Nebraska outscored the Cats 24-0 in the second half on the way to a 38-17 blowout.

“Obviously a tale of two halves,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said afterward.

“They quite frankly just shut us down offensive in the second half, which put our defense in a tough situation. They were out there way too long against an explosive offense.”

The Cats’ offense disappeared, and a gassed defense couldn’t stop Cornhuskers running back Ameer

Abdullah. After only 39 rushing yards before the break, Abdullah exploded for 107 after halftime, when Nebraska outgained NU 244-28.

“If we had tackled better, took better angles, we would’ve gotten him down,” junior defensive end Dean Lowry said. “But he’s a great player, and we’ve got to improve from here.”

After freshman running back Justin Jackson rushed for 99 yards in the first half, Nebraska loaded the box in the second, forcing NU to throw. Jackson carried only seven times for 29 yards after halftime, putting the onus

on senior quarterback Trevor Siemian to power the offense.

But with his offensive line collapsing around him, Siemian completed only five passes in the second half.

“Defensively, they were going to put everybody in the box to stop our run,” Fitzgerald said. “At that point now we needed to be able to throw the ball, and we were unsuccessful with that from a consistency standpoint to be able to sustain drives.”

Fitzgerald said Siemian, who suffered an ankle injury last month, isn’t “anywhere close to 100 percent”

health. The senior overthrew several receivers but also suffered from a lack of time to pass against the Nebraska pass rush, especially after the break.

Fitzgerald attributed the passing game’s second-half struggles to more than just his quarterback.

“It looked like we had some oneon-one match-ups up front, we had some drops,” Fitzgerald said.

“It’s a combination of all 12 of us, the coaches and the 11 guys on the field.” asputt@u.northwestern.edut.

The No. 19 Northwestern (7-2-4, 2-1-2 Big Ten) defense stood strong to hold conference newcomer Rutgers scoreless (4-8-1, 1-4-1) in a 2-0 win in Piscataway, New Jersey, on Saturday night.

The Wildcats bounced back after their loss to reigning national champions Notre Dame thanks to junior midfielder and NU top-scorer Cole Missimo, who broke the deadlock with his 5th goal of the season after a cross to the right side of the Scarlet Knights’ goal. Sophomore forward Mike Roberge doubled the Cats’ lead and scored his 1st goal of the season by putting in a rebound off of a shot that rattled off of the crossbar with just under nine minutes to play to seal the NU victory.

RUTGERS ROUT Northwestern players celebrate a goal earlier this season. The Wildcats defeated Rutgers 2-0 Saturday to improve to 2-1-2 in conference play.

and a corner kick all in the first 15 minutes of the game. After the initial pressure by NU, the game evened out to an extent, though Rutgers only registered one shot on goal the entire game.

Each team received one yellow card in the first half, with freshman forward Elo Ozumba picking up the caution for NU. After the second half kicked off, Missimo put the Cats in the lead after a good

cross by sophomore midfielder Drew Rosenberg from the left side of the field.

Missimo, a Texas native, has scored an impressive 4 game-winning goals out of his 5 goals this season and won the Big

Ten Offensive Player of the Week award earlier this month.

“It’s a team effort. There’s no way I’m getting anywhere close to those goals if it’s not for the team pressing and working together,” Missimo said after the match against Maryland. “It does feel good to take on that goalscoring responsibility with (junior forward Joey Calistri).”

In the 82nd minute, senior defender Nikko Boxall had a shot hit off of the crossbar. Roberge was there to put the ball into the back of the net after the rebound.

Senior goalkeeper Tyler Miller only had to make one save the entire match against Rutgers, with the Cats’ defensive unit putting in another good performance. “(The defense does) everything they can to stop the other team from scoring,” Miller said after the match against Notre Dame.

NU was able to keep Rutgers forward Jason Wright at bay throughout the game.

The freshman, who has played on Jamaica’s national youth teams, has scored 7 goals this season.

The Cats have a break before they travel to No. 16 Michigan State next Sunday for a tough matchup against the second placeranked team in the Big Ten. juliangerez2017@u.northwestern.edu
