challenges that inevitably arise in the pursuit of research and how to disseminate their findings in a way that has an impact on a field of study and, hopefully, on a community,” he said.
While limited funding makes it impossible for nanovic to award grants to every applicant, stump said the institute wants to fund as many students as possible.
“We are very much in the
business of wanting to support students …” she said. “We are here to cheer them on, and we want to empower students to do incredible things.”
stump said a strong research proposal incorporates three main components: a strong, feasible research question, a methodology structured to answer that question and a driving purpose.
“We want to see what the fruits of the labor are,” she said. “What does the student propose to do with the learning?”
stump also said students can
gain cultural insights from their time abroad.
“students come back with a new compassion, oftentimes a new appreciation, for those … who see the world differently,” she said.
Kati schuler, student programming coordinator of cUse, said thus far, cUse has awarded four grants for research over fall break, and the selection process will continue into the coming week.
“The hardest part of reviewing grant applications is that there are more good projects than funding available” she said in an email. “We can therefore only fund very highquality proposals.”
senior nicolle ho will travel to Paris during fall break on a nanovic grant to continue the work she did with the institute Pasteur over the summer. she will continue writing computer programs that analyze data for a lab studying mycobacterium tuberculosis.
“i very much enjoy getting to mix my interest in math and modeling and telling stories with data with also using French,” she said.
ho said she has also examined tussock plants in the arctic and deeply studied the presence of vietnamese communities in France through grants from both isLa and cUse
“The first grant that i wrote was very difficult; the second and third and so forth became much easier,” she said. “i think you learn a lot from designing that methodology from the beginning. This is your problem. This is your vision. This is what you want to solve. how are you going to do that?”
she said her research abroad has been a transformative experience.
“i’ve been very much changed by the people i’ve met in France, and i’ve been very much changed by the people i’ve worked with here,” ho said.
Wilkinson said. “however, now people who identify as this don’t consider themselves either male or female, or they identify as both.”
Wilkinson started off his portion of the presentation by telling the audience he uses the pronouns “he” and “him.” he said addressing people with respect is one of the most important things they do at the LGbTQ center. in our society, he said, you can no longer assume how people identify.
Pronouns such as they, them, theirs, zie, and hir are all growing in popularity, he said.
“We as a society are used to ‘they,’ ‘them’ and ‘theirs’ when talking about multiple people,”
senior emily Gust will travel to London and edinburgh during fall break in order to study the origins of the unsuccessful 2014 referendum on scottish independence. she spent the spring semester in London as part of the Kennedy scholars program, which is designed to help students refine research topics for their senior theses. Gust said she is looking forward to the greater freedom that comes with delving into her independent research, but is also aware of the planning it requires, compared to the more structured Kennedy scholars program.
“i think it’s a really good way to learn how to structure your time and move forward with a goal by making plans for yourself rather than having a curriculum making the plans for you,” she said.

however, Wilkinson warned not to ask people about their preferred pronouns.
“When you ask someone about their preference, you’re disregarding who they are,” he said. “it’s like if you’re talking to a transgender person and you’re saying, ‘i’m calling you she, but i really could call you he.’
Wilkinson said another language issue involves the use of terms like “homosexual.”
Wilkinson said although it is commonly used, this term is actually quite offensive in the LGbTQ community.
“homosexual is such a clinical term,” he said. “it makes gay people feel unwelcome.”
heller said “homosexual” is a dog whistle term — a coded term that is targeted toward a specific audience. he compared this word to the use of the term “terrorist.”
“When you hear the word ‘terrorist,’ for most people, the first thing that comes to mind is muslim or middle easterners,” heller said. “instead of saying, ‘i don’t like terrorists,’ people find themselves saying, ‘i don’t like muslims.’”
There is a current debate on whether the tragedy in Las vegas was an act of terrorism, heller said — because the shooter was not associated with any group, some say it was not terrorism. however, heller said when a similar situation happened in another location and the man was a muslim, it was immediately labeled an act of terrorism, even though he was not associated with any groups except the U.s army.
“The word is made to sound neutral, but there’s a particular audience,” he said. “We have to be really careful about how we think about it and how we use terms like that. context really does matter.”
another dog whistle phrase is “black Lives matter,” he said. heller was a co-founder of a black Lives matter chapter in south bend, launched in response to Ferguson.
“People associate the term with radical, angry, black people,”
heller said. “however, black Lives matter was founded by three black queer women. The term is meant to encompass the full intersectionality of the black community. it’s pro-marginalized.
“The thought of black Lives matter is that when black women are free, everybody is free. When people respond to black Lives matter, they’re saying all lives matter. if you fight for freedom of black lives, you’re fighting for the freedom of white lives.”
heller also discussed donald Trump’s remarks about football players who chose to kneel during the national anthem. Trump has said kneeling during the anthem was a “total disrespect of our heritage” and “a total disrespect of everything that we stand for.”
“Who is the ‘our’ and who is the ‘we?’” heller asked. “do we have a homogenous perspective on that? if the quote does exclude people, who is excluded?”
The word “diversity” can also be problematic, Wilkinson said.
“i hate the word ‘diversity’ — we’ve lost what diversity is supposed to be,” he said. “When we’re inclusive, we’re not discounting someone. it’s not just about acceptance, there’s a place for their voice to be heard.”
in order to be an ally, people should use their words carefully and respectfully correct others, Wilkinson said.
“i’ve known people who have moved from cities because they feel unsafe because of what another person has said,” he said. “it may not have anything to do with me or how i feel, but i say something because maybe someone else is wishing they could say something.”
senior Taylor Thomas said she attended the workshop because she knows she is transphobic.
“my goal here was to work on tendencies i have to work on,” Thomas said. “The only way to do that is to come here and understand the community. i want to force myself into uncomfortable situations so i can grow as a person.”

In moderation
This week marks the beginning of the 2017 m L b postseason, and if it’s anything like the regular season, we’re in for some amazing baseball. For just the sixth time in the over 100-year history of the m L b , three teams had a 100-win season — the Los Angeles d odgers, the h ouston Astros and the c leveland Indians. c leveland also managed to put together a 22-game win streak, something that has never been done before in American League history. Yankee right fielder Aaron Judge hit 52 home runs in his rookie season, a new m L b record. b ut these accomplishments mean little come o ctober. There’s something very different about the postseason. Game models and systems that worked all season can become completely obsolete. s ave for home field advantage, a team’s regular season performance doesn’t matter when the playoffs start. The 10 teams lucky enough to make it in start with a clean slate, a blank record that will soon be filled with stories of o ctober glories and, for some, failures.
The m L b is using the slogan “o ctober is e arned” in advertising the postseason this year — and it couldn’t be more true. There are no flukes in baseball. You can’t sneak into the playoffs. It’s
not like hockey or basketball where over half the league makes it. And it’s not like football where 16 games decide who will move on to the playoffs. n o, the baseball season is long — 162 games long. It stretches from the beginning of spring to the beginning of autumn, from rainy days in April through sweltering games in August to chilly s eptember nights. If a team makes it through this long season, if they can beat their division and obtain a spot in the postseason, it’s because they earned it. It’s because they proved themselves over the course of 162 games, proved that they have what it takes to play in o ctober
I’ve been a baseball fan my whole life, but I didn’t get to go to my first playoff game until last year. It was Game 2 of the n L ds , the c hicago c ubs versus the s an Francisco Giants at Wrigley Field. The atmosphere was absolutely incredible. There were 35,000 fanatics standing on their feet for the entire game, shouting for the c ubs and hoping for the chance to win their first World s eries since 1908. e very one of us in attendance hung on edge, waiting for every pitch. I’m about the farthest thing from a c ubs fan, but even I found it hard to not sing along to “Go c ubs Go.”
If you’re not a baseball fan, if you think it’s too boring or too complicated to follow, I’m going to ask you to give it one more chance this o ctober. I’ll be the first to admit that regular season can at
times be a little tedious (I sometimes struggle to sit through a game in m ay, too). b ut there’s something special about the postseason. The players, the managers and the fans bring an energy and an enthusiasm that elevates the stakes of the game and makes into a completely different experience. The r ockies, the d iamondbacks, the d odgers, the c ubs, the n ationals, the r ed s ox, the Astros, the Indians, the Twins, and the Yankees have won their spots in the postseason. They toiled through a six-month long, 162-game season to get to this point. They all had one goal in mind, they all sought to arrive at the same place — o ctober. n ow, they’ll all compete for an even more exclusive prize of baseball, the World s eries. o nly one of them can win, and something tells me it’s not going to be my Yankees, but I can’t wait to watch it all unfold. o ctober is earned, and whatever happens this postseason, these teams more than earned it.

A dare to come to Lila Rose
h ello n otre d ame community. I have a dare for you.
This week is r espect Life Week on campus, part of the nationwide r espect Life m onth of o ctober. The point of the week is to highlight all the various ways how this n otre d ame community can come together and find common ground on meeting each other in love, and respecting the dignity of all people. Thursday evening will be the keystone event of the week, when Lila r ose comes to visit campus and give a lecture on the life issue.
If you don’t know, Lila r ose is one of the brightest young pro-life activists in the country. At only 29 years old, she is the president and founder of Live Action, the famed non-profit that is responsible for the controversial undercover Planned Parenthood videos that have been coming out since 2011. Lila has been on numerous media stations and talk shows advocating for life and is arguably the most articulate and passionate defender of the cause in the nation.
If you think you’re pro-choice, I dare you to come here Lila’s talk. I offer this dare not to be controversial or hard-edged, but because I want you to ask yourself the hardest questions
possible about what you believe, because otherwise you don’t really have a solid or grounded belief. As a PL s major, I have to do this all the time; questioning myself and others is what I live for. h earing the hardest possible arguments from (what you think is) the other side is the best way to understand what you yourself truly believe and to find the truth. As a passionate prolifer, I offer Lila r ose as the best spokeswoman for my side. s he is firm and impassioned, young and energetic, but thoughtful and gentle. s he responds with love and positivity, looking to fight for the woman and for the child. If you think you’re pro-choice, I’m not asking you to come to change your mind (though of course I’d always welcome that). I am asking you to give Lila r ose, and other pro-life millennials, the chance to ask you how deeply your beliefs go.
If you’re pro-woman and pro-feminism, I think you will find that you agree with Lila. o ne of her main talking points revolves around “fighting for them both: woman and child.” As a young woman herself, she understands the woman’s pointof-view as well as anyone. If you’re in favor of fighting poverty by directing government aid to young pregnant women, I think you’ll agree with
Lila. s he’ll show you how Planned Parenthood is nowhere near the best option for women or for federal spending. If you’re in favor of racial justice, I think you’ll agree with Lila. Part of her activism has been devoted to her project fighting racism in reproductive medical ethics.
I’m pro-woman, pro-government-aid-to-women, and pro-racial justice. I dare you to come to Lila r ose, and see if you really, truly, honestly do disagree with her and with me. This appeal is all-inclusive: pro-choice c atholics, pro-choice agnostics, the “personally pro-life but who am I to enforce my view on others” type, the unsure and undecided people in the middle, h illary voters, b ernie lovers, and social justice warriors. To all of you I offer a friendly challenge — come to n otre d ame r ight to Life’s lecture with Lila r ose (this Thursday at 7 p.m. in the c arey Auditorium of the h esburgh Library), and see that you just might walk away with an oh-so-slightly different perspective.
I dare you. You won’t.

“ … he wants to play. he’s a competitor. We’ve seen how competitive the young man is. We’ll examine all of those possibilities.”
red zone
a fter another perfect outing in the red zone against the red hawks (2-3, 1-0 maac ), the irish (4-1) are one of six programs to have played five games with a red zone conversion percentage of 1.000, as notre dame are now 22-of-22 with 20 touchdowns scored.
“i think it has a lot to do with the running of the football and then what we’re setting up off of the run, more so than trying to take shots on first down in the end zone,” Kelly said on his team’s success. “We’re staying ahead of the chains down there. We’re leveraging our calls down there through the run game is the best way that i would put it to you, and that leveraging is allowing us to do other things other than trying to attack the front pylon, the back pylon and the back of the end line.”

For the remainder of the half, the i rish were unable to put a point on the board. s enior forward Jon g allagher received a pass near the box, dribbled around White and put the ball into the net, but he was called offsides. a s a result, northwestern walked into the locker room with a 1-0 lead.
“Last year, we lost 2-1, and we dominated the game,” i rish head coach b obby c lark said. “a year before, we dominated the game and tied 1-1. it was definitely a strange game. o ne thing you can’t do against them is concede a goal, because then they just hang on. a nd that’s what we did, it just came out of nothing. We played well in the first half. We were playing into the wind, playing really good soccer and the game was in their half. Then, they just get a goal out of nowhere and you’re 1-0 down.”
c oming out to redeem themselves during the second half, the i rish battled the Wildcats, as northwestern put eight additional fouls on the board en route to a total of 11 for the day. notre dame only added two more fouls for a total of 3. northwestern had a dangerous shot that sailed just over the crossbar, putting pressure on notre dame, but the remainder of the possession was in the Wildcats’ half, as the
surrounding the national anthem, the nFL and President donald Trump, Kelly said the irish have no plans to protest the anthem and would need to have a conversation together about a team response if the topic ever came up.
“We’re in a college environment, a college setting and we want our young men to be free thinkers and have the ability to voice their opinions,” Kelly said. “That’s what college is about. but we’re in a team structure, as well, and so we have to be able to get together — if we had that current situation that they have in the nFL, which we currently don’t and we’d have to have a conversation about how we would move forward.
“a s a football coach who’s working in a team, you know, not with individuals, we would obviously prefer to do something if we were to do something as a team and i think that that’s the difficult part when we get into team structure.
“a ll the other stuff is really, for me — becomes an issue of the flag and politics, and i really have had very little time to delve into all of those issues. if i had to, i probably would sit down, but in talking to my leadership group, it’s not something that we’ve had to sit down and discuss.”

i rish continued to press their defense.
“i gave them the old ‘festina lente,’ hurry slowly,” c lark said. “That’s the old Latin proverb. i told them, ‘You got to hurry, but you have to keep composure.’ We didn’t get rattled. We showed positive body language throughout. We didn’t get frustrated, and we had to be persistent.”
a fter a sequence of corners, i rish junior midfielder s ean m acLeod delivered a cross back into the box, and junior defender Felicien d umas headed the ball right into the net near the left post to bring the score to 1-1. For the rest of the play in regulation, g allagher had a breakaway towards the goal but was tripped up by sophomore Wildcat defender a ndrew mcLeod, who was yellow carded.
e ntering into overtime, notre d ame’s persistence was rewarded with a goal in the 99th minute by g allagher.
“They all stayed very positive,” c lark said. “You can’t feel down on your luck. They are a difficult team to play, but if you lose, even tie, from a [ r ating Percentage i ndex] viewpoint, it wouldn’t have been a good one. it will be a completely different game against c lemson.”
The i rish will play c lemson in an acc conference match Friday at h istoric r iggs Field.

Kelly talks Wimbush injury
By TOBIAS HOONHOUT Associate sports e ditor
on Tuesday, Irish head coach brian Kelly announced that junior quarterback brandon Wimbush was in a walking boot due to foot soreness suffered during notre dame’s 52-17 win over miami (oh) this past weekend.
“I think we’ll take it day-today right now,” Kelly said of the injury. “We had an mr I and an X-ray both came back clean, no structural damage, no ligament damage. We just want to be really cautious with him, and we’ll begin the process of practicing and see how he progresses during the week.”
Kelly remained noncommittal on when Wimbush would resume practicing and whether the junior would play this saturday against north carolina.
“It’s his first injury. We’ll work through the process with him,” Kelly said. “We’re not going to push him really hard today. I think we’ll get him probably
moving a little bit, throwing, making sure that — but I’m not in a position where we need to have him practice today. my vision would be more towards getting him out there Wednesday for practice.
“ … We know we’ve done our due diligence here. […] he’s got to feel comfortable, and a lot of this is not just medical. This has got to be he’s got to feel comfortable and he’s got to feel 100 percent like he can put his foot in the ground and do the things that he can do. And so this will be a decision that we’ll have to make together.”
Kelly said that the injury was diagnosed during the team’s noon sunday check-in. despite speculation that the injury happened after the game while Wimbush was out, Kelly dismissed those claims.
“I have no reason not to trust 100 percent what brandon tells me,” Kelly said. “he went out and felt his foot was not right, and he went home. That’s what he
