Although pop-up restaurant Under the Table was shut down by Evanston last month for not having a license, its owners say the issue will be resolved in the next few weeks.
When the -ne-dining spot came to the city in August, it did not secure a food establishment license from the Evanston Health Department, a requirement for restaurants to open. As a pop-up busi-ness, Under the Table has no permanent location but operated in Evanston out of a kitchen at ./0 Pitner Ave.
As a “private party masquerading as a restaurant,” Under the Table owners were not aware they needed to comply with city codes, co-owner Max Mora said. Evanston sent Under the Table a cease-and-desist letter Oct. 1/.
Carl Caneva, assistant director of the Evanston Health Department, said he learned about the licensing issue through Yelp and a “couple other places” on the Internet.
“We want to make sure this is con-sistent” with the rules applied to other restaurants, Caneva said.
2e restaurant is working with the
city and is on track to settle the problem by the end of the month, Mora said.
“It was a concern for a moment, but it looks like it won’t really hurt us,” Mora said. “We contend that we’re not really a regular restaurant … but we’ve learned our lessons in terms of secrecy when it comes to underground pop-up dinners. We will certainly comply.”
Before using the Pitner Avenue space, Under the Table held dinners at Com-pany Evanston, a restaurant that hosts a rotating lineup of chefs. 2e location, 3405 Chicago Ave., previously drew “Top Chef” -nalist Beverly Kim.
Now, Under the Table is serving meals in other Chicago-area venues.
“We’re going wherever we need to go to take care of this,” co-owner Chikoo Patel said. “We’re going to take care of it quickly.”
2e restaurant is also preparing for a Nov. 14 event to bene-t Youth Orga-nizations Umbrella, an Evanston-based organization that provides support for young people.
Within the next three months, Under the Table hopes to open a physical store-front in Chicago’s Lakeview or Logan Square neighborhoods, Mora said.

Law schools cut class sizesBy ELIZABETH KIM+6' !"#$% ()*+67'&+'*( @ehak.8
Law schools around the country are reducing their incoming class sizes in an e9ort to combat a lagging economy and better prepare students to enter the workforce.
A recent Kaplan Test Prep sur-vey of law school admissions o:-cers revealed that the number of law school applicants is declining while law schools are reducing their class sizes. Northwestern School of Law reduced its incoming class of 1034 by about two dozen students,
a reduction of 30 percent from the previous year.
2e survey was conducted earlier this year and gathered data from 315 American Bar Association-approved law schools, some of which ranked in the top 18 schools.
Je9 2omas, Kaplan Test Prep’s director of pre-law programs, said though law has traditionally been thought of as a reliable path to white-collar success, students graduating law schools since the 100; economic recession have found that may not be the case.
“Historically speaking, we saw a lot of students apply to law school in times of economic turmoil,” 2omas
said. “When you graduate college, you decide to enter either the workforce or school. We see a lot of students go right to the workforce and start their career path.”
Fi<y-four percent of law school admissions officers reported the reduction of entering classes for 1034-3/, continuing a declining trend that began two years ago, and 18 per-cent plan to continue the cuts in the next year.
2e reduction of class sizes allows law schools to focus on each indi-vidual student in preparing them for the workplace and o9ering more scholarships. 2omas said law -rms are not as willing to hire recent col-lege graduates due to their lack of experience. In order to respond to these changing statistics and com-bat unemployment a<er graduation for future law students, law schools are adding more real-world train-ing into their curriculum. Seventy-one percent of law schools reported introducing these additions, which include clinical courses, internships and externships.

Dems tout gay marriage bill
By BAILEY WILLIAMS+6' !"#$% ()*+67'&+'*( @news_BaileyW
The Democratic Party of Evanston on Sunday night honored three state lawmakers at the forefront of the push for gay marriage in Illinois.
The party’s annual dinner came five days after the Illinois General Assembly passed legislation that would make same-sex marriage legal in the state. Gov. Pat Quinn is scheduled to sign the bill into law later this month.
“It’s one of those historic moments when we are breaking down a wall of discrimination,” Majority Whip Dick
Durbin (D-Ill.), the No. 1 Democrat in the Senate, told The Daily during the dinner. “Every generation gets a few chances to do that. This was our chance.”
The dinner brought more than 300 people to the new Skylight Event Space, 3;3; Dempster St. State Reps. Greg Harris (D-Chicago) and Kelly Cassidy (D-Chicago), as well as Sen. Heather Steans (D-Chicago), were recognized for their roles in help-ing pass the Religious Freedom and Marriage Fairness Act.
U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) introduced the state legislators, call-ing their efforts historic.
“It really is not often that you do get to be a part of something like that,” Steans said. “It’s not really often that you get to be a part of changing history.”
As an openly gay member of the state legislature, Cassidy told the audience she is grateful to represent
a district where she can stand for the bill “without fear.”
“Much of what we do doesn’t have direct impact,” Cassidy told
The Daily. “It is very personal. It is very exciting. I’m looking forward to marrying my partner and making our family whole.”

Learn how at the
RCB event offers NU take on popular TED Talks
By MADELINE FOX!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+) @madelinefox./
Leading Native American scholar Henrietta Mann spoke Saturday about the .01/ Sand Creek Massacre through the lens of the life of her great-grandmother, a survivor of the attack.
Mann, president of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribal College, discussed aspects of American and tribal history in a speech she called “Past Tragedy, Elusive Justice.” Her visit came about a week a2er Northwestern administrators announced they are fast-tracking the creation of a second committee to examine NU founder John Evans’ role in the Sand Creek slayings.
Mann’s talk was sponsored by the Mitchell Museum of the American Indian as its fourth-annual Dr. Carlos Montezuma Honorary Lecture,
co-hosted this year with the Native American and Indigenous Student Alliance. An audience of about 34 people, predominantly museum members and people from the Chicago-area Native American community, gathered in Annenberg Hall to hear Mann speak.
“We chose Dr. Mann for all her work in the education world, as well as for keeping our stories alive, keeping our history that is o2en miswrit-ten in many of the history books and needs to be recognized and valued,” said Kathleen McDonald, executive director of the museum.
Mann opened with remarks about grandpar-ents, noting their importance to the maintenance of native culture.
“Our grandparents, with their cultures and their languages, gave us so much,” Mann said. “I appreci-ate them for weaving their stories, for sharing their histories, some of which have been and are noble and true, and others which have been tragic.”
Mann then introduced the story of her own great-grandmother, White Bu5alo Woman, a sur-vivor of two massacres of Cheyenne people.
Mann’s history lesson focused on the involve-ment of Evans, Evanston’s namesake and then-governor of Colorado, in the Sand Creek Massacre, an attack on a temporary village of Cheyenne and Arapaho people.
“Without a sign of mercy or compassion, more than .67 lay dead, of whom only 80 were men, the remainder, helpless women and children,” Mann said.
Mann’s identi9cation of Evans as the driving force behind the massacre linked to a larger conver-sation at NU. Forrest Bruce, co-president of NAISA, said the group formed a petition last year asking the University to “formally recognize Evans’ role (in the massacre) and make some reconciliations.”
Last academic year, the University began inves-tigating Evans’ role and whether the University
pro9ted 9nancially from the massacre.NAISA hosted an open forum with the John
Evans Study Committee Oct. 86 to air concerns, the most prominent being students’ frustration that NU needed to verify Evans’ role before mak-ing any apologies.
A2er that meeting, University President Morton Schapiro and Provost Dan Linzer announced the fast-tracking of an additional committee.
Mann mentioned the committee at the end of her speech and urged a just resolution, expressing her hope that attendees would leave with a greater understanding of the impact of the massacre on the Cheyenne people.
Of the massacre’s e5ect on her great-grand-mother, Mann said, “She never went to bed without her moccasins for 10 years, always prepared for the unexpected.”

ALMOST FAMOUS Psychology Prof. Sara Broaders gives her ResTalk on lifehacks in Swift Hall on Saturday.
By JOSEPH DIEBOLD$%&'( -#)&*+ -!%::#+ @josephdiebold
Although the scene lacked the trademark black background and the speeches won’t go viral on You-Tube, students stumbling across Swi2 Hall on Saturday would be forgiven if they thought they were at a TED Talk.
About 14 students 9lled a classroom for the Resi-dential College Board’s second annual ResTalks event. Ranging from the personal — psychology Prof. Sara Broaders’ talk on lifehacks — to the political — Fein-berg Prof. Phil Hockberger’s speech on how we should view the national debt — Northwestern professors delivered 84-minute anecdotes in the style of the popu-lar conference series.
Astronomy and physics Prof. Michael Smutko, the
associate master of Ayers College of Commerce and Industry, kicked o5 the event with a talk on the topic most relevant to students: whether laptop use in class impacts performance.
Smutko, who has been researching the topic since 844; with data from NU students, presented his 9nd-ings, which show that performance decreases for stu-dents who are o5 task or multitasking. He said the use of technology is ultimately a matter of personal responsibility and could make the di5erence between career success and failure.
“I don’t care if you’re texting. It doesn’t a5ect my job,” he said. “It doesn’t a5ect me. But it a5ects you.”
Broaders, a CCI master, discussed three things that help students prepare for tests: sleeping, eating and working out. She also noted one that doesn’t: cramming.
Broaders deemphasized the impact of money on long-term happiness, saying even lottery winners have
been shown to fall back to average levels of happiness a year a2er winning. Instead, Broaders advised students to do two things: 9nd a job you love and 9nd a partner you love and respect.
Laura Stoughton, RCB’s vice president of academic a5airs, said the event, which was also held last year, combines two of RCB’s goals.
“<e 9rst is just to expose our residents to a wide array of interesting and widely accessible topics, and the second is to increase fellow-student interaction and really show them some of the cool topics their fellows can expose them to,” the Weinberg junior said.
Smutko’s 9nal piece of advice? Don’t sit behind someone with a laptop.
“If somebody’s watching that cat video in the front row, everyone behind them is watching it too,” he said.
Several days ago, my dad and I went out to lunch with our family friend, Mel, and his son, Tom. Mel served in World War II with my grandpa, both as ri!emen in the same squad for about six months. "rough their experiences together, the two of them became close friends.
I had met Mel before at family functions but had never really gotten a chance to talk to him about the war. My grandpa passed away in #$$%, before I could fully appreciate or under-stand his service in World War II. "ere is still a lot I wish I could ask him. "ere are a lot of conversations I wish I could have with him with the maturity and understanding I have now.
Speaking with Mel this past week was the closest I’ve felt to my grandpa since his pass-ing. He spoke with an openness and eagerness to share war stories, especially when he talked about my grandpa, his squad leader, who he referred to as “Duke” and for whom he had a great amount of respect.
"e stories gripped me. Some were light-hearted accounts about the quirky personalities in the squad, but many others were about times when they were faced with death.
One of these stories was about when my grandpa was stuck, unconscious, under a heavy burning timber in the basement of a German farmhouse — and was saved when a fellow sol-dier, with a rush of adrenaline, picked it up o& of him. "e next day, when they revisited the farmhouse, he was unable to pick it up again, no matter how hard he tried. It was a story my dad had written about and gotten published in the Chicago Sun-Times. "e article generated a very positive response, and my dad received countless emails from people who related to his article and shared stories of their own family
members who served in the war.My dad has always been deeply interested in
his father’s experiences in the war. "ough my grandpa rarely volunteered to talk about the war, he answered questions about his experi-ences when my dad asked him. Sometimes my dad videotaped these question-and-answer sessions so he could look back on them. He did research into the stories and had contact with a couple of the the soldiers my grandpa spoke fondly of. One of these soldiers was Mel.
At some point during my lunch with Mel, I realized that I was about the same age he and my grandpa were when they began combat. I was at the same point in my life as they were when they were faced with, on a regular basis, life or death situations. "e stories Mel told suddenly began to hit me. I suddenly con-nected to them in a very real way that I never had before.
Although I’ve always been aware of my grandpa’s heroism, having tangible stories of his experiences in the war helps me grasp how remarkable he really was.
Speaking with Mel also made me realize the importance of what my dad has done over the years — asking questions and collecting stories. "e stories he has uncovered are time-less and connect people all over the world in their lessons of courage and heroism. "ey are stories that increase my understanding of who my grandpa was, years a'er he died. "ey are stories that have connected Mel’s family with my family.
On this Veterans Day, I encourage everyone to thank veterans for their service but also to be willing to ask about and listen to the experi-ences of those willing to share. You never know what stories are waiting to be heard.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s reelection last Tuesday was an example of politics as politics is meant to be. Christie carried ($ percent of New Jersey’s votes, and this win, along with his high approval ratings, can largely be attributed to the fact that he has attempted to campaign beyond a Repub-lican base to communities of Democrats, minorities and women.
Christie demonstrated his willingness to work with o)cials with di&erent political views to solve the problems that a&ect his state — even just a week before the #$*# election — when he worked along-side President Obama in Hurricane Sandy relief e&orts in New Jersey. Despite being ideologically conservative and having enacted conservative mea-sures in his state, Christie’s politics didn’t interfere with the responsibilities of his work. Being Repub-lican has not meant turning away from Democrats but has only served as a label for his personal politi-cal views.
Christie’s reelection needs to serve as a message to the Republican Party, and to all politicians. "e American populace wants their representatives to get things done.
Christie is in no way a paragon, but rather an example of politicians increasing their appeal through accomplishments rather than partisan bickering. Unfortunately, though, he is an outlier, and nationwide, politicians have refused to repre-sent the interests of the people.
Earlier in June, an immigration reform bill introduced by a bipartisan group of Senators was passed in the Senate with both Democratic and Republican support. Although a CNN/ORC poll in June showed that the majority of Americans sup-port the bill, the majority Republican House has refused to take up the bill or even conference with Senators over it, and despite expressing interest in addressing immigration reform through a series of separate bills, the lower chamber has failed to pro-duce anything so far.
With the widely publicized *(-day partial gov-ernment shutdown in October that le' government agencies unfunded and brought us to the brink of defaulting on our debt, the nation again witnessed politicians too focused on partisan politics to com-promise and e&ectively run the government they
were entrusted with. But this tide of ine&ective-ness, which has ampli+ed over the years, has yet to recede.
On "ursday, Senate Democrats passed the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), meant to end the discrimination of workers based on their sexual orientation or gender identity, with the support of *$ Republicans, yet House leadership has shown no signs of even considering the bill.
With ENDA, not only are we seeing the inabil-ity of our government to act because of partisan opposition, but also an inherent problem in the Republican Party to accept a changing world. Con-servative ideology has been a viable form of running government throughout American history, but the extreme right-wing faction of today’s Republican Party is making it impossible for more moderate Republicans to advocate conservative policies. "is is because of the party leadership’s opposition to basic rights and equal opportunity.
A testament to the declining support of Repub-licans among non-white-male groups, Republicans have received a minority of the votes of women and all minority groups in the last four presidential elections, and with Congressional elections a year away, the House’s voting record characterizes the lack of priority placed on reaching out to these
demographics."e Republican Party needs to understand that
there’s a di&erence between having a di&erent out-look on how to run government and alienating huge demographics of voters like women and minorities by disregarding them altogether. Furthermore, all politicians need to understand that playing belliger-ent party politics isn’t doing them any good and is a completely irresponsible way to handle government.
It’s something the bipartisan group of Senators who introduced immigration reform understood. It’s something Gov. Christie understands. It’s some-thing all of our elected o)cials need to understand.
Until that goal is realized, it is our responsibility as the electorate to express our democratic power and advocate for a more e&ective government, whether that’s over the phone with representatives or at the polls. Although politics has become a game in Washington, it has always been a two-way pro-cess between constituent and representative. "is week, voters in New Jersey sent a strong message about the kind of elected o)cials they want.

Expect more bipartisanship from our politicians
Recognize, honor veterans by listening to their stories
It’s November. You start to hear Christmas music on the radio. You pull on your winter coat. You stop shaving. Well, for some members of the Northwestern community, that last one is true.
Students refer to November as “No Shave November” or “Movember” in order to explain why they’ve chosen to trade shaving for +ve minutes of extra sleep in the morning. But do they actually understand the meaning behind not shaving this month? Many of the students with whom I have spoken had no idea that what they refer to as No Shave November or Movem-ber has any purpose beyond their personal entertainment.
"e practice of not shaving during the month of November has its roots in several di&erent movements and organizations. Students that participate in this event should do so with the intention of raising awareness and possibly even raising funding for health initiatives rather than participating solely for their own amusement.
Students who claim to participate in No Shave November should be aware that it is actually an event sponsored by the American Cancer Soci-ety to raise awareness of cancer in its numer-ous forms. According to the ACS, “"e goal of No-Shave November is to grow awareness by embracing our hair, which many cancer patients lose, and letting it grow wild and free. Donate the money you usually spend on shaving and grooming for a month to educate about cancer prevention, save lives, and aid those +ghting the battle.”
Likewise, students that grow mustaches in November should shi' their focus from saving a few minutes in the morning to the important health concerns that Movember seeks to combat. Movember is primarily for men and is geared toward raising awareness of men’s health issues including testicular cancer, prostate cancer and mental health. Movember also speci+cally
involves growing a mustache, whereas No Shave November leaves it up to the participants to decide what will be le' unshaven.
"e health issues brought up by the Movem-ber movement are particularly pertinent to the Northwestern community. College-aged males are among those at the greatest risk of testicular cancer as about half of all diagnoses occur in men between the ages of #$ and ,-. Students participating in an event for testicular awareness should know that they could easily be among those a&ected by this disease.
Raising awareness of prostate and testicular cancer is especially important because the prog-nosis for these diseases is comparatively good if caught early. "e Movember movement hopes to make men more aware of warning signs so these diseases can be caught early.
Although prostate cancer generally strikes older men, it is important that awareness and funding is distributed across all cancers.
Mental health, another focus of Movember, should also greatly concern a community of college men. An American Psychiatric Associa-tion study found that almost half of all college students experienced anxiety within the last year and a third experienced serious depression.
"ough mental health problems are stigma-tized for both sexes, gender norms that expect men to be strong and unemotional make it even harder for a male to accept and seek treatment for mental illness. Men su&er in silence with depression because they are unlikely to seek the assistance of mental health professionals.

Friday’s Puzzle Solved
Wednesday’s Puzzle Solved
By OLIVIA EXSTRUM!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+) @oliviaexstrum
Medill Prof. Craig Du. spoke Friday night as part of “/e Future of Photography Editing,” a panel dis-cussion on the technology, ethics and business aspects of photo editing programs like Adobe Photoshop.
/e event was held at the Chicago Photography Center with an audience of about 01 people. It was the third in a four-part series, “/e Future of Pho-tography.” /ree other photographers and photojour-nalists joined the conversation, and former Chicago
Tribune sta. photographer Charles Osgood moder-ated the event. Each speaker gave a brief introduction and discussed his or her take on the future of photo editing.
Du. used a slideshow to point to several cases in which photo editing and manipulating has cost photojournalists their reputations and careers.
“We’d like to think that as professionals in this busi-ness that photojournalists would never do this sort of thing,” he said.
However, Du. said the challenges and high-pres-sure environment of journalism can cause photo-journalists to make bad decisions. He pointed out how photo editing so2ware like Photoshop makes it easier now than ever to manipulate photos, and in turn makes these enhancements harder to spot. /e pros and cons of new technology, such as a tool that allows photographers to change the focal length of a photo a2er it’s been taken, were also discussed extensively.
Chicago Tribune photo editor Mike Zajakowski gave a presentation highlighting notable spreads and photos that were published under his direction as editor.
“Photojournalism in all its form is and always will be necessary to any credible news organization,” he said. “We’re a visual culture.”
Zajakowski likened photojournalism to a mirror, re3ecting to the people the way that they live and act as a society.
In a summary of journalism ethics, he said it is important to follow four basic steps: “Act human, treat subjects with respect, be accurate, and don’t make stu. up.”
/e conversation then turned over to photogra-pher Tim Arroyo.
In addition to traditional photography, Arroyo uses photo editing so2ware like Photoshop to alter photographs and create surrealist images.
Unlike his colleagues, Arroyo focused more on the
creative side of photography.Jackie Spinner, a former war correspondent for /e
Washington Post, talked about on the more straight-forward side of photography and the importance of being multifaceted.
She said being easily adaptable is key when it comes to working as a professional.
She stressed the importance of being able to write, photograph and edit, and “not just do all of them, but do them pretty well.” She shared a lesson about the di.erence between writing and photography that she said Du. had given her before the lecture.
“Writers write in the past tense, while photojour-nalists have to shoot in the present tense,” she said.
/e event concluded with a Q-and-A with the audience. /e fourth and 4nal lecture in the series, “/e Future of the Camera,” will be held at 5 p.m. Dec. 67 at the Chicago Photography Center.

City musicians teach kids to stand up to bullyingBy KELLY GONSALVES!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+) @kellyagonsalves
Evanston musicians teamed up with a community center Friday evening to preach an anti-bullying mes-sage to young children through song and chant.
In celebration of National Bullying Prevention Month in October, the Fleetwood-Jourdain Commu-nity Center hosted the free concert, which featured three teenage performers who have all been victims of bullying. R&B and hip-hop artists Yemi Marie, T.L. Williams and Zophia played for about 58 children throughout the night.
Frankie Robinson, a Power 90.7 Chicago radio host, emceed the event, leading the audience in anti-bullying cheers. She talked with the artists a2er their performances about their personal bullying experi-ences, as well as her own story of being abused by peers over a beauty mark on her face.
“Remember this: Everybody is di.erent,” Robin-son said. “It doesn’t make you less than anybody else. It doesn’t make you funny-looking. It doesn’t make you ugly. It doesn’t make you this. It doesn’t make you that. It makes you special.”
With Robinson’s guidance, kids shouted lines such as “no bullying” and “everyone is special” throughout the night.
/e event was the brainchild of Betsy Jenkins, manager of the community center, and Gus Red-mond, vice president and talent producer of national music promotion company Music Quest. /e two met over the summer when Redmond invited Jenkins
to a series of concerts in the Chicago area, one of which featured Yemi Marie, 6:, who is promoting her own national anti-bullying campaign. Jenkins decided to bring the show to Evanston.
“We felt there was a need in the community for kids to realize that bullying is not popular and what are some of the things that they can do to stay away from it, and if they are doing it, they stop it,” Jenkins said.
Jenkins said she believed the event hit home with the kids because the performers are all teens and can relate more to a young audience. She and Redmond also credited the music with making the message more accessible.
“I think kids really look up to artists, and if they see them doing good, they’re going to do the same thing,” Yemi Marie said. “But if they look at people doing bad things … they’re going to follow them, too, because those are their idols. If I set myself as a good role model for them, then they’ll try to follow my footsteps.”
Yemi Marie, who headlined the concert, has so far brought her anti-bullying musical campaign to Illinois, Indiana and Georgia, playing for adults and children. During the show, the kids came to the front of the stage to dance and sing along during Yemi Marie’s act.
Jenkins said she wants to host more events with similar anti-bullying themes and hopes the city will do the same.
“I’m hoping that we’re at the forefront, and we will continue to put the message out there,” she said.

‘Little things’ plague Cats, cost winsBy MORTON SCHAPIRO!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+)
.e Wildcats just can’t seem to perfect the little things.
Northwestern fell to No. /0 Michigan State (/1-2, 3-4 Big Ten) and No. /2 Michigan (/4-1, 4-3) this weekend in two tightly contested four-set matches.
“If you don’t do the little things well, then you’re going to come up on some losing stretches,” coach Keylor Chan said.
Against the Spartans on Friday, the little things were more pronounced and easier to see on the stat sheet. A5er the Cats took an electrifying 64-67 8rst set victory, they were unable to carry that momentum into the later sets. Michigan State dominated NU in the front row, 8nishing the game with eight more team blocks than the Cats’ three. Behind outside hitter Lauren Wicin-ski’s three solo blocks, the Spartan front row contained the Cats’ hitting percentage to ./24.
A5er a few intimidating blocks and middle attacks by Michigan State in the second set, the Spartans established control and never let it go. Chan said Michigan State was dictating the 9ow of the game, but the momentum never com-pletely swung in the Cats’ favor.
“You have to attack the block. You can’t fear it,” Chan said. “You can’t give them roll shots and free balls, and that’s what you saw. In layman’s
terms, they were hitting it hard at us, and we weren’t hitting it hard enough back at them.”
Redshirt junior Katie Dutchman is usu-ally a potent o:ensive weapon, but the right side attacker was kept well in check by the Spartan defense. She echoed Chan’s state-ment that a lack of mental toughness and willingness to combat the block led to the loss.
“(.e blockers are) de8nitely in the back of your mind as you’re going up and you’ve got-ten blocked or you’ve seen your teammates get blocked,” she said.
Down 66-// in the fourth set, NU mounted a de8ant last stand, winning 0 straight points. A net violation by setter Caleigh Ryan ended the Cats’ run and was the 8nal blow.
NU looked much better against Michigan on Sunday but couldn’t muster enough to capture victory. .e Wolverines looked strong overall and did a great job punishing every small mis-take that the Cats made. .e extremely skilled Michigan middle blockers, a tandem that fea-tures third team All-American Jennifer Cross,
swatted down every slight overpass. Every weak NU attack was answered with a strong middle reaction.
One bright spot was the stark improvement in the Cats’ own blocking. Senior outside hitter Stephanie Holthus said she was pleased with NU’s blocking Sunday.
“.e blockers were just really disciplined,” she said. “On Friday we were 9ying all over the place, and we were more disciplined with what we wanted to take away and where we wanted to force their attackers.”
But it just wasn’t enough..e X factor for the Cats is the streaky play of
freshman outside hitter Kayla Morin. She is cur-rently the de facto second option for the team, with four fewer attempts than Holthus during the last two matches combined. Although she has earned her starting spot and has occasional 9ashes of brilliance on the court, NU cannot seem to generate enough o:ense when Morin is not playing at her peak. Against Michigan and Michigan State, she hit ./;; on 1; attempts.
“Playing consistently is really hard against these good teams in the Big Ten,” Morin said. “Every match is a new match, so you never really know what you’re going to get.”
If NU aims to make a post-season push, what it needs to get from Morin is nothing short of her absolute best.

Cab driver arrested near NU in sexual assault of sleeping passenger
A cab driver was arrested .ursday night near the Northwestern campus on suspicion of sexually assaulting a sleep-ing passenger, according to police.
Tajamul Syed, 60, has been charged with crimi-nal sexual assault in con-nection with the incident, which happened at about 6:0; a.m. Nov. / in the 30;; block of West Sum-merdale Avenue in Chicago, Chicago Police Department spokesman Jose Estrada said.
Police sources said the 77-year-old woman fell asleep in the back seat of the cab while Syed drove her from her friend’s Halloween party in Park Ridge, Ill., to her home in Chicago. .e woman awoke to Syed sexually assaulting her, at which point he returned to the front seat and she le5 the cab, according to the sources.
Estrada said the woman identi8ed Syed before he was taken into custody at about /;:6< p.m. in the 2;; block of West Emerson Street, the north-ern border of NU’s sorority quad.
Syed, of the 40;; block of North Rockwell Street in Chicago, appeared in court Saturday, Estrada said. Bail information was not available Sunday evening.

said.Andrea Tovar, a Weinberg senior who will
apply to law school following a gap year, said she is not surprised that fewer students are pursuing law school as a postgraduate path but thinks it is not necessarily indicative of shrinking interest in the 8eld.
“Prelaw students at Northwestern are very pas-sionate about the law and legal issues a:ecting our society,” Tovar said. “At this point in time very few of them seem to be applying to law school because of the money involved in the profession.”

Cats claim home openerBy BOBBY PILLOTE!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+) @bobbypillote
Northwestern air-balled four shots during the .rst half of its season opener Saturday.
/e a0ermath of a sloppy exhibi-tion game seemed to linger at Welsh-Ryan Arena, but the Wildcats (1-2) ultimately prevailed 34-55 over the Eastern Illinois Panthers (2-1).
New coach Chris Collins began his career with a 53-67 exhibition win over Lewis on Wednesday, but the result was anything but pretty: NU hit only 62 percent of its shots from the 8oor. /at same sluggish play continued to haunt the Cats in the .rst half against Eastern Illinois.
Sophomore center Alex Olah committed several costly errors early, whi9ng on two mid-range jumpers and turning the ball over at the top of the key to hand the Panthers an easy fast break.
Drew Crawford was there to pick up the slack for his teammates. In the .rst half, the redshirt senior forward led all players with 15 points, was a stellar :-for-6 from long range, and added seven rebounds to go along with his o;ense. /e Cats’ star player .nished with 45 points and 11 rebounds.
“My teammates did a good job of .nding me,” Crawford said. “We’re a
con.dent team and a con.dent o;ense every night.”
Despite leading by as many as 1< points during the opening half, NU went into hal0ime ahead by a slim margin of only 6.
“A0er we got out to that lead, they got us on our heels with their pressure,” Collins said. “At hal0ime we talked about, if they’re going to pressure us like that, we need to rip through them and we need to attack.”
NU came out of the locker room with much greater intensity to start the second half. With 1<:54 to play, JerShon Cobb made a quick jab to knock the ball away from the Eastern Illinois ball handler. /e junior guard showed great hustle in diving for the loose ball and found junior guard Dave Sobolewski streaking down the court for an easy basket.
Cobb, expected to be a key contribu-tor this season, put up only : points in the .rst half but showed other 8ashes of brilliance in the second. With less than nine minutes to play, he cut into the lane with a slick spin move and then dished the ball to freshman for-ward Sanjay Lumpkin,who hit an open :-pointer from the corner to put the Cats up by 15. Cobb .nished the night with = points and eight assists and led the team with :7 minutes played.
Several NU players got into foul trouble late in the game, but the team continued to expand its lead.
Crawford picked up his fourth foul with 3:15 remaining, and Olah tallied his fourth whistle with 5:57 to play, resulting in both players heading to the bench. Strong play from Lump-kin, who totaled = points o; of three :-pointers, allowed the Cats to press their advantage, and Crawford also returned late to ice the game for NU.
“JerShon did a great job driving and kicking,” Lumpkin said. “A lot of guys got good looks, and I was a bene.ciary of that.”
Improved shooting was key down the stretch. /e Cats were a combined 12-for-45 from the 8oor in the .rst half, but they improved to 12-for-1< in the second and added 15 points from the free throw line.
Having just won his .rst career game as a head coach, Collins was glowing at the post-game news conference.
“It was great, it was exciting,” Col-lins said. “To be at a place like this, for Morton Schapiro to be here, for Jim Phillips to be here, my family is here. It was a special night.”

Young players guide 1st NU winBy ALEX LEDERMAN!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+)
Northwestern’s young core took center stage in the season opener against Illinois-Chicago and did not disappoint, leading the Wildcats to a 3=-7: victory over the Flames.
Coach Joe McKeown decided the best way for his newcomers to learn was from experience, penciling three of his freshmen into the starting lineup. His decision proved to be a good one, as the trio — forward Nia Co;ey, guard Christen Inman and guard Ashley Deary — combined for 64 points, eight assists and 11 rebounds.
“/ey’re fearless, which you love as a coach,” McKeown said. “In the Big Ten, you’ve got to have that mentality as we get through our non-conference schedule.”
Coffey in particular stood out, dominating the paint with 1= points and .ve blocks. Although she entered college with an already impressive resume — three state championships, a McDonalds All-American and a FIBA U1= gold medalist — she knows it’s all about the team at NU.
“I just love playing with the girls,” Co;ey said. “We play great together, so it’s just great to get that win together.”
/e other new faces made strong .rst impressions. Deary, the 5-foot-6 point guard, had 11 points, six assists and four steals in her debut. She has big shoes to .ll, stepping in for junior cap-tain Karly Roser. /e Honorable Men-tion All-Big Ten point guard started all :2 games for the Cats last year and had 1<< assists, but Roser is currently sidelined inde.nitely with an upper body injury.
“Ashley is really feisty,” sophomore guard Maggie Lyon said. “She’s shorter than Karly, so she has to make up for that in di;erent facets of the game, but I think that she does a great job of dis-tributing and drawing defenders and kicking it out.”
/e story wasn’t all about the fresh-men, though. Six Cats scored in the double-digits, including Lyon, the
reigning Big Ten Freshman of the Year. Lyon picked up right where she le0 o;, as the guard put up 16 points and six assists, proving she’s not a one-season wonder. Junior center Alex Cohen and sophomore forward Lauren Douglas also turned in strong performances for NU.
/ough there was a lot to like from this .rst showing, there is also room for growth. /e Cats played well at times, going on a 45-7 run early in the second half, but also looked sloppy, allowing Illinois-Chicago to tear down its lead from 46 points to 12 late in the game.
“Instead of going to the foul line or spreading the 8oor, we still attacked the basket a little quicker than I wanted to,” McKeown said.
Another major issue was fouling. Under the NCAA’s new hand-check rules, whistles blew le0 and right, and three NU players fouled out of the game. /e harsher o9ciating is some-thing NU must get used to.
“/ey’re trying to clean up the game this year, so we all have to focus on not fouling,” Co;ey said. “We want
to play aggressive but still play clean (defense).”
“It’s really hard because our whole lives we played with hand checks,” Lyon added. “It’s a big adjustment.”
/e Cats aren’t the only ones who will face this problem, however. All across the nation teams are struggling with this rule change.
“It’s just gonna take time for teams to get used to playing a certain way,” McKeown said.
Nonetheless, NU had an impressive showing in its .rst outing and showed its possibility for growth.
“We have a lot of room for improve-ment, but I think tonight we really showed that we have a lot a lot of potential,” Lyon said.

Hoosiers hold back Cats on Senior NightBy ENRIQUE PEREZ!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+) @EPerez13=4
Northwestern hobbled to a :-2 loss against Big Ten rival Indiana on Senior Night.
/e Wildcats (=-7-:, 1-6-1 Big Ten) went into Friday’s game unranked for the .rst time this season and with only one conference victory to their name. /at win came against the Wolverines on Sept. 4<.
/e Hoosiers (7-11-1, 4-6-2 Big Ten) matched them with one Big Ten victory of their own and were winless on the road. Both teams were coming o; harsh losses, with NU su;ering defeat at the hands of Wisconsin last week.
Although both sides were looking to take some momentum into the tour-nament, the Cats were forced to .eld a lineup riddled with injuries. Veterans such as senior mid.elder Chris Ritter, junior defender Nikko Boxall and junior goalkeeper Tyler Miller were forced out of the last few regular season games with di;erent ailments, giving other players the opportunities to see some action.
“We just have to be able to defend,” senior mid.elder Lepe Seetane said. “We have to stay alert and do the little things. /at takes a while, but it’s the little things that count.”
NU showed some sparks of o;ense in the early going, with sophomore forward Joey Calistri getting caught o;side as he tried to get on the board. Sophomore mid-.elder Cole Missimo was unlucky to catch the underside of the crossbar and have it bounce out in the 4:rd minute. /ough Calistri made an e;ort to head the loose ball, it was saved and cleared by a quick Hoosier defense. Indiana’s defense did well to keep NU o; the board, making clutch saves and taking the ball at the riskiest of moments early on.
Coach Tim Lenahan gave Nathan Dearth the nod to start the game, and the freshman defender joined the back line. Dearth was physical against the opposi-tion, o0en clashing with a few Hoosiers in
an attempt to win the ball back and clear it from danger. /e Cats could only hold on for so long, however.
Indiana midfielder Dylan Mares knocked in the .rst goal of the game to put the Hoosiers up in the :6th minute. /is came a0er a chaotic few seconds, in which the ball was kicked around inside the box by both teams and NU ultimately let up. /e Hoosier goal was the only score in the .rst half — but not the last in the game for Indiana.
/e Hoosier’s second tally arrived when mid.elder Nikita Kotlov master-fully handled a cross from a teammate and volleyed it into the back of the net from inside the box. Kotlov controlled the ball enough so that it hit the crossbar yet still bounced in to double the lead.
Indiana mid.elder Kyle Sparks tapped in a third and .nal Hoosier goal in the 33th minute a0er another hectic exchange on both ends of the .eld. Indiana was in a favorable position at the most opportune times throughout the span of the game, and NU was denied by the posts.
“We knew going in that they were a very talented team,” Calistri said. “/ey’re a lot better than their record shows and everyone knew they had good players. /ey have a lot of attacking talent.”
Looking ahead to the Big Ten Tour-nament, NU takes the seventh seed and faces No. 4 Wisconsin in a rematch of last week’s game.
“Seeding in the Big Ten means noth-ing,” Lenahan said. “Whoever .nishes second has to play us, two time defending Big Ten champions, and whoever .nishes third has to play the defending national champs. It’s the only conference in the country where everyone goes in thinking they can win the championship.”
