Recent NU grads take on Teach for America
By MARSHALL COHENdaily senior staffer
University Police is investigating the disappearance of a Northwestern student who has been missing since early Saturday morning.
Harsha Maddula was last seen around 12:30 a.m. leaving an off-campus party at 2013 Ridge Ave., according to an emergency alert sent Monday night to the NU community.
The McCormick sophomore is an 18-year-old Indian male. He is 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 135 pounds, according to the emergency alert. He was last seen wearing a gray long-sleeve sweater with white and black stitching, dark gray pants and
brown shoes.Cmdr. Darren Davis told The
Daily earlier Monday that Maddula was reported “contacted but not seen” around 6:45 p.m. Saturday, but the situation was upgraded to a missing person report by Sunday afternoon.
“We are trying to find him,” Davis said. “We are canvassing the area, talking to people who might know his whereabouts and checking the vicinity on and off campus.”
There are no indications of foul play, Davis added.
The emergency alert came 50 hours after UP first heard of Mad-dula’s situation.
NU spokesman Bob Rowley said Monday afternoon he had not heard of Maddula’s disappearance and that UP decides whether or not to send missing student alerts based on the sensitivity and fluidity of each incident.
Friends from Maddula’s dorm said they last saw him while leaving the
off-campus party.“They realized that he wasn’t with
them while they were walking to another party,” said a friend of Mad-dula who was with him at the party. Maddula’s friends did not want to be identified due to the sensitivity of the situation.
Maddula left the party with three or four people, according to multiple sources who saw his group leaving the house, which is located west of campus.
Several sources who said they spoke with Maddula at the party recalled him as coherent — not stumbling or visibly intoxicated — as he left.
Weinberg junior Moritz Gellner, who lives at the house where Mad-dula was last seen, sent a statement to The Daily after the emergency alert was sent out.
“Everybody in our house has been complying with the investigation and is trying to give as much information as possible regarding what we know
about the student in question,” Gell-ner said. “His safety is paramount and it’s the most important thing that needs to be addressed and now
we wish the police the best of luck in their search for the student.”

Evanston remembers slain teenBy CIARA MCCARTHYthe daily northwestern
A 14-year-old Evanston boy was fatally shot on Saturday night in the 1500 block of Church Street.
Evanston Police later identi ed Dajae Coleman, a freshman at Evanston Town-ship High School, as the victim.
Coleman’s friends and family gathered Sunday a� ernoon at the shooting site near the intersection of Church and Florence Streets. Friends set up a small memorial with balloons, � owers and a signed bas-ketball that read “R.I.P. Dae Dae,” as he was called by his friends.
“He’s one of the most beautiful kids you’ll probably ever meet,” Coleman’s grandfather Michael Rice said. “He had a smile that could light up a day, an entire day.”
Others paid tribute to Coleman in the virtual world. A friend of Coleman’s posted on LeBron James’ Facebook wall to request a video, letter or tweet from Cole-man’s favorite basketball player. � e post has received nearly 6,000 likes in the 24 hours. Coleman’s death was also mourned via Twitter by NBA players Kemba Walker, Tyson Chandler, and Paul Pierce.
Helen Pytlewicz, who lives near the site of the shooting, brought � owers there Sun-day evening. Pytlewicz was home watch-ing television Saturday when she heard several shots at approximately 10:30 p.m., she said. � e next morning, she learned of Coleman’s passing.
“I don’t know them personally, but my kids went to Evanston Township. (� ese are) our neighbors,” she said. “My heart is breaking for this family.”
Police have released few details regard-ing the incident, but the Chicago Sun-
Times reported Coleman was shot shortly a� er leaving a party with friends. EPD Cmdr. Jay Parrott said police are mak-ing progress with the investigation but declined to release further information.
In the absence of concrete detail, Cole-man’s family and friends are mourning his loss and remembering his character.
“It’s just that smile that everybody’s going to miss, his attitude, and how he was dedicated to basketball,” said Carmen McLean, Coleman’s friend and ETHS classmate. McLean remembered Coleman as a positive in� uence in her life, someone who made her laugh and encouraged her to work hard in school.
Friends also recalled Coleman’s intense dedication to basketball and said he dreamed of being a professional player like his idol James.

This time it was no mistake.Two years after University
President Morton Schapiro caught A&O Productions off-guard by prematurely revealing its fall line-up, he announced Monday that rock band Young the Giant and rapper Nas will perform Oct. 12 at Welsh-Ryan Arena for A&O’s annual fall concert.
“They are both huge heavy-weights in their respective genres,” A&O director of con-certs Justin Lehmann said. “You would never see them or similar artists on the same stage other than at a music festival, and even then, I don’t know.”
During the president’s con-vocation Monday, Schapiro said NU is all about traditions. A&O Blowout began in 2009 when Schapiro decided to trade in Uni-versity funding for his inaugural black-tie dinner for a student concert.
It is because of this connection that A&O members wanted Scha-piro to announce the concert’s lineup to students.
A&O Chairman Logan Koepke said he talked with Schapiro throughout the summer about making the Blowout announce-ment during Wildcat Welcome

Northwestern’s plan to build a new research facility in place of an old Chi-cago hospital has pitted the University against local preservationists in an increasingly heated public ght.
NU is seeking a demolition per-mit from Chicago to raze the Pren-tice Women’s Hospital, which was designed by famous architect Ber-trand Goldberg and is owned by the University.
NU’s plan has been in the works for more than a year and has faced oppo-sition from the start. Some architects have vouched for the building’s histori-cal value, and the University cites the advantage an updated research facility would have for biomedical science.
Last week, the University issued a call for international architecture rms to design the new research facility.
It is not clear whether the Com-mission on Chicago Landmarks will weigh in on the controversy at its Oct. 4 meeting. � e meeting’s agenda has not yet been published.
If the commission approves land-mark status for Prentice, it would cir-cumvent NU’s plans.
Both parties are dueling for pub-lic opinion. As of Monday night, the Save Prentice Facebook page had gathered more than 2,000 likes and the Save Prentice Coalition’s petition to stop demolition had about 3,500 signatures.

Community library The Mighty Twig will become part of the Evanston Public Library in 2013.
In a meeting last Wednesday, the Evanston Public Library Board of Trustees unanimously voted for EPL to assume control of the volunteer-run Twig on Jan. 1. The south Evanston library, 900 Chicago Ave., will be renamed the Chicago/Main Library.
“To have the library resume service in southeast Evanston, bringing library books, librarians, library materials … is just fantastic news,” said Marcia
Mahoney, director of The Mighty Twig and president of Evanston Public Library Friends.
The Mighty Twig opened in March 2011 after EPL decided to close its South Branch due to budget con-straints. In its first year, the library reported more than 33,200 visitors and 3,800 toddlers at story time.
In a letter last week to EPL Friends and patrons, Mahoney said The Mighty Twig was a “temporary experiment.”
Karen Danczak Lyons, director of the Evanston Public Library, said Monday that the volunteer-run library is a “remarkable testimony to how the Evan-ston community regards the importance of public library service in the community.”
Library staffs still need to address issues such as what books will make up the library’s collection and how the 60-some volunteers can still contribute once the library staff takes over, Mahoney said.
The Twig takeover is also not a done deal finan-cially. In order for EPL to assume responsibilities in January, $75,000 needs to be raised by the end of the year, followed by another $75,000 by the middle of next year, Lyons said. EPL Friends and EPL will work together to raise funds not just for the Chicago/Main location but also for other efforts to expand library services in Evanston, according to a library memo.
Both Mahoney and Lyons said patrons will benefit from the switch to EPL control, which Mahoney said
has been her hope since the Twig opened.Mahoney said The Mighty Twig currently has a
very small collection of books, particularly for adults. Come January, however, Mahoney said patrons will be able to place holds for materials held in Evanston and other North Shore libraries.
Reflecting on the name Monday, Mahoney said The Mighty Twig means the same thing today as it did when its doors first opened in 2011.
“We’re a twig — we’re not a branch,” she said. “We’re something different than a branch but we’re mighty, we’re strong, we’re resilient.”

Around TownAutism group gets flood cleanup helpBy audrey chengdaily senior staffer
Evanston residents teamed up last weekend to assist Have Dreams, a local organization supporting autistic children, in clearing up damages incurred when a city pipe burst in July.
Volunteer Evanston, Evanston Township High School and Northwestern students collaborated to dry various course materials, inventory, and educa-tional and vocational games Saturday and Sunday. The volunteers also cleaned and reorganized furni-ture at Have Dreams’ 2020 Dempster St. location.
Volunteer Alicia Bowles said she did not realize the flood happened until she saw it in the paper recently.
“I was shocked because we drive past here a lot,” said Bowles, who got involved with Have Dreams through Kellogg School of Management’s service organization Kellogg Cares. “The first thing I did was sign up to volunteer right away. I didn’t even think twice about it. It was scary and really sad because they do so much good in here.”
Kris Johnsen, executive director of Have Dreams, said the organization’s building was the hardest one hit by the pipe burst, which caused an estimated 100,000 square feet of damage and an outpour of a million gallons of water within an hour and a half.
“It was overwhelming at first because we left the building with nothing,” Johnsen said. “We took the kids, but we had none of their visual sup-ports. We did not have any of the materials that we made for them in the summer, so we were really scrambling.”
Have Dreams, the 2004 Northwestern Dance Marathon beneficiary, hosts various classes to aid autistic children. Although the organization con-tinued its after-school programs in the wake of flooding, it has not been able to open its schools, originally slated to begin Aug. 22.
“The impact of not being able to open the schools as scheduled and cancelling the trainings was that not only were we not able to serve those people that
we planned to, but it was going to be a big financial hit,” Johnsen said. “Thankfully, some donors stepped up to help us.”
Jarrett Goldman, a 15-year-old Have Dreams student, said although it was upsetting to see all the “hard work put into the handmade materials go away,” he was relieved to see Evanston residents volunteering to help.
“I think they’re getting a lot of donations, and they’re getting help from throughout the city and it’s very moving and nice to see all of that,” Gold-man said.
Johnsen said the amount of cleaning and repairs after the flood was “insurmountable.”
“It’s about $50,000 a month, and now it’s going to be probably five months before we’re fully up to speed,” Johnsen said. “We got about $180,000, which is really wonderful, but it still leaves a big hole. That’s why having volunteers come in, rather than staff, is really helpful.”
Johnsen said when the flood occurred, Have Dreams officials “couldn’t be happier that we’re in Evanston.”
“It’s just been amazing,” Johnsen said. “Now that Northwestern students are back in school, by next week, we’ll probably be in really great shape here.”

Last spring, NU Nights introduced a new late-night venue for Northwestern students looking for a new way to spend their Friday evenings. NU Nights organizers say they’re gearing up for another big quarter.
Following Friday’s Game Show, NU Nights will host events every other Friday through Fall quarter, including ‘90s-themed bingo and a carnival.
“We’re bringing back a couple of things that were really successful Spring Quarter, like ‘90s Bingo and a few more things that people said they wanted to see at Northwestern,” NU Nights president Andrew Christy said.
The program saw a lot of buzz in the spring, attracting up to 400 students at vari-ous events.
Weinberg sophomore Sarah Steinmeier attended the inaugural ‘20s-themed event.
“I learned how to dance the Charleston, took some photos and filled an otherwise empty eve-ning,” Steinmeier said.
Now that the executive board has had a
chance to settle in and plan events in advance, Christy said hopes NU Nights will have an even bigger presence on campus this year.
The first event, Game Show, was part of Norris at Night, an event held on the Friday of Wildcat Welcome for the incoming fresh-men and transfer students. Group members distributed free glow-in-the-dark NU Nights T-shirts outside McCormick Auditorium, where incoming students attended live trivia shows every hour.
Contestants won various NU-themed prizes, while audience members were able to enter a raffle to win an iPad.
Weinberg freshman Kale Abrahamson said he had a good time participating despite admit-ting he didn’t correctly answer a single trivia question.
“I would definitely go to more events like this,” he said.
The next NU Nights event, “The Lakefill After Dark,” is planned for Oct. 5.
“It’s free food, free entertainment and free fun that’s open to everyone,so why not check it out?” Christy asked.

Northwestern is partnering with a company called Lazybones to offer a laundry pickup and delivery service to students.
The laundry service offers three different plans for laundry pickup with free next-day delivery, including dry cleaning. Students leave laundry in bags at their residences and specify a pickup time, NU Lazybones manager Rob Uria said.Students can pay $75 for 50 pounds of laundry
over a period of time, $250 for 200 lbs and $380 for 400 pounds.
Two University of Wisconsin-Madison stu-dents founded the nationwide company about 20 years ago, Lazybones Marketing Director Maria Scheri said. With the addition of NU to the Lazybones lineup, the company now services students at colleges in six states.
“Our goal is to provide the most convenient, most affordable, easy way for students to get their laundry done,” Scheri said. “Fast, convenient, easy.”
Lazybones operates out of a warehouse in
Skokie but does not have a storefront location in Evanston, Uria said. If students miss their pickup times, they can call customer service and Lazybones will typically come back the next day, he said.
“We have less than a one percent missing laun-dry rate,” Uria said.
McCormick sophomore Jordan Scott has used Good News Laundry, a competitor to Lazybones, for a year. He said he started using the service because he was unhappy with the quality of laun-dry provided by the University.
Scott said he drops off his laundry on
Thursdays and receives the cleaned and folded clothes on Monday. He said he is happy with Good News Laundry and does not plan on changing services this year.
Despite the competition, Uria said he is hope-ful for Lazybones’ successful partnership with NU.
“More than 20 students have signed up,” Uria said. “The main thing now is if we start and get everything in place and provide the same service we have been, I think we’ll be in good shape.”

Northwestern launched a redesigned website Wednesday that administrators hope will pro-vide a more visually appealing and user-friendly way to access frequently searched University information.
� e new website features brighter colors, a larger space for photos, more room for galleries and new links to particulars NU students o� en need, such as parking and bookstore information.
Janet Dobbs, director of university web com-munications, said the redesign creates more space for news to be presented on the home page and will allow users to � nd information more quickly.
“� e new website is based on how people search for information rather than the university’s structure,” Dobbs said. “� is helps users � nd what they’re looking for.”
Dobbs emphasized that in addition to focus-ing on utility, the new website is also meant to be visually pleasing.
“I think the previous site was a little more impersonal,” Dobbs said. “With the increased pic-tures and color, the vibrancy of the Northwestern community is re� ected on the new home page.”
Dobbs said the update was part of a cyclical process, and that the website is generally rede-signed every few years. � e last website design was in use for about three years, and the design before that was used for � ve. She added that her o� ce had to launch the redesign before students returned to campus in order to avoid creating confusion during the middle of the quarter.
When re-designing the website, Dobbs ana-lyzed frequently searched topics.
“It looks easier to navigate,” said Josiah Evans, a McCormick freshman who had used the updated website twice already since arriving on campus.
Another major change is the increased amount
of information that can be found on landing pages, pages that are linked on the home page and direct users to other pages, Dobbs said. For example, when clicking on the link for “Students,” users can now � nd news and events.
Media relations wanted to increase the amount of news and events on the website, said University spokesman Bob Rowley.
“It has to do all that work as the University home page, and I think it does that in a more invit-ing way,” Rowley said of the redesigned website.
� e new site was publicized on social media and in an email sent to the NU community early Tuesday, Rowley said.
Rowley added that so far, feedback from users has been positive. Dobbs said the comments and likes on Facebook re� ected a positive response, as did anecdotal emails received by her o� ce. However, she said there were “one or two” negative responses to the change.
“� ey were just from people who had gotten
used to the old site and couldn’t � nd something on the new one,” Dobbs said.

NU grads lead in ‘12 Teach for America corpsBy CATIE L’HEUREUXthe daily northwestern
By their sixth week of school, third graders at Achievement First Bushwick Elementary School in Brooklyn have already learned the Northwestern � ght song.
� ere, Drew Gannon (Medill ’12) is teaching sci-ence and social studies as one of 63 graduates from NU’s class of 2012 in a classroom with Teach For America this year.
� is year, NU ranked as the top medium-sized school to send graduating seniors to the TFA 2012 corps, according to the � � h annual rankings of col-leges and universities released on Sept 5. Harvard University, Georgetown University, Boston College, � e University of Pennsylvania and Tulane University were other top-ranked schools in the same category of universities with 3,000 to 9,999 undergraduates.
NU also placed seventh out of more than 1,500 colleges and universities, regardless of size. Gaby Bara-hona, regional communications manager at TFA, highlighted key qualities that NU students bring to
the program.“It’s mainly that we’re looking for candidates that
have a lot of leadership skills, that persevere through challenges, that are committed to our mission,” she said. “I think that when you look at Northwestern and just the caliber of students that go through the undergraduate school, you � nd a lot of those qualities in your seniors, which is why we continue to recruit and select candidates from Northwestern.”
Founded in 1990, TFA focuses on resolving edu-cational inequity in the U.S. and recruits corps mem-bers to commit to two years of teaching in high-need urban and rural public schools. Barahona said the 63 graduates from NU’s class of 2012 are part of a group of more than 479 NU alumni who have participated in the program.
Selected out of 48,000 applicants in the 2012 selec-tion process, the 5,800 new corps members repre-sent one of the most diverse classes in TFA history, Barahona said. Of the incoming corps members, 23 percent were the � rst in their families to attend col-lege, 38 percent
are people of color and 35 percent received Pell grants. A� er participating in a � ve-week
summer training program, they joined more than 4,200 other TFA teachers to work in schools in 46
regions throughout the U.S. this year.Eliza McNabb (WCAS ‘10), Chicago recruitment
manager at TFA, highlighted a connection between the TFA mission to expand educational opportunities for poverty-stricken children and the desire of many NU students to make a di� erence as one of the reasons for NU’s high ranking as a contributing school.
“Teach for America’s mission really aligns with Northwestern students because
Northwestern students are so socially aware and they are such driven people who really
want to make an impact, and Teach for America gives them an opportunity to do that,”
she said. “Northwestern and Teach for America have had a really wonderful relationship
for a very long time and we’ve always gotten a number of wonderful corps members
from Northwestern, so it’s exciting to see that it’s still going strong.”
McNabb also said campaign strategies of holding alumni panels and information sessions on campus helped attract more NU students to apply to the 2012
corps last year. TFA will continue to use this strategy to recruit NU students for 2013, she added.
“� e primary thing that we’re focusing on is � nd-ing people who are passionate about
this work and getting people engaged in the con-versation about educational inequity,”
she said.McNabb said she wanted students to understand
the di� erent communities that college students come from. She said she wants “people to be angry and work to end that injustice and disparity” between the 80 percent of college students that come from high-income communities and 8 percent that come from low-income communities.
Gannon, who worked as a campus campaign coor-dinator during her time at NU, said she is glad to be helping students through her work with TFA.
“I see my friends who are doing any number of things, including going into journalism, which is what I ultimately want to go back to,” she said. “But this is such an irreplaceable experience that I’m so grateful and excited to be a part of.”

GREEN House, CCS adapt to shared spaceBy cat zakrzewskithe daily northwestern
Two formerly separate residential communities are adjusting to sharing a building this fall after a series of housing changes and a communication breakdown between Northwestern administrators and students.
The College of Cultural and Community Studies and the Group Residence for Environmental Engage-ment are now in the same building, following the University’s decision to join the residences last year.
The Foster House and CCS buildings were com-bined to accommodate the relocation of several fra-ternities and update the former Foster House, said Julie Payne-Kirchmeier, assistant vice president for student auxiliary services.
Green House members will occupy the third and fourth floor of the former Foster side and the fourth and fifth floor of the former CCS side. CCS residents will live on the second floor and the other side of the third floor. The six rooms on the first floor are split between the two communities.
Students in both residences were initially con-cerned when they learned of plans to combine their communities into a new blended residential college called Community and Sustainability Studies.
“We found out the week before housing appli-cations were due for upperclassmen,” said GREEN House President Henrik Westerkam. “We had already started preparing for the next year.”
The Weinberg sophomore said he first learned of the new housing change April 18, when Mark D’Arienzo, the associate director of university housing administration, forwarded him an email from Payne-Kirchmeier. Westerkam said GREEN House members were upset that they were losing their former home to Zeta Beta Tau following the University’s decision last February to evacuate the fraternity’s former house.
Existing GREEN House students had the option to either join the new residential college or applying for university housing with a priority number in the next two days, according to the email. Shortly after receiv-ing the email, Westerkam said he learned CCS had also been in the dark about the intended changes.
“We were very shocked that they would make such a big move without contacting our executive boards,” said CCS President Tyler Rehak, a Weinberg junior.
Following the initial email, CCS and GREEN House representatives and their faculty advisers met with Payne-Kirchmeier and officials from Residen-tial Services to present their concerns. Both student groups agreed that a new, combined residential college was not an option. The group presidents said their communities were frustrated that the University had not involved them more in the decision.
“It was a breakdown of communication,” Payne-Kirchmeier said. “I flat-out apologized at the meeting.”
After determining that the communities would remain separate in the same facility, Payne-Kirch-meier said the parties had “a very healthy, back and forth conversation.” Students were involved in many
of the decisions, from room arrangements to choosing dorm furniture, she said.
“I think the administration has been realizing that students should be playing a more important role in these decisions,” Rehak said.
In addition to logistical planning, students in GREEN House helped the university choose more sustainable options that coincided with their mis-sion, Payne-Kirchmeier said. The dorm is equipped with LEED lighting and furniture made with recycled materials, she added.
Westerkam said students were challenged to find ways to share common areas in the combined build-ing, including one large laundry room, a kitchen and several lounges. Rehak said the students have decided to host events such as munchies separately and have designated different lounges for each community.
As the two communities adjust to their new liv-ing arrangement, they are evaluating how they will coexist in the future. Payne-Kirchmeier said she gave the students a deadline of Nov. 1 to determine if the communities will exist separately, combine or develop a completely different structure.
Rehak said the freshmen, who will be the dorm’s future executive board, will play an integral role in that decision as they interact and live together.
“I think it’s going to be evolving,” Payne-Kirchmeier said. “I’m excited to see what they come up with.”
NU moves ahead with constructionBy lauren caruBadaily senior staffer
Students returning to Northwestern this fall will find some areas of campus significantly altered after several summer construction projects and should expect more changes as crews break ground on large-scale projects during the year.
NU and the city of Evanston installed six new sets of traffic lights along Sheridan Road. The lights, which include one new intersection at Northwestern Place, formerly Garrett parking lot, use infrared technology to sense when pedestrians need to cross and are timed to improve traffic flow, said Andrew McGonigle, traffic lights project manager for Facilities Management.
Countdown signals estimate the time it will take pedestrians to cross. If someone holds the button for 10 seconds, speakers will read the inter-section’s name aloud, a feature designed for blind individuals. The crosswalks at Chicago Avenue and Sheridan were also widened and reconfigured to better accommodate the intersection’s unusual design.
“These are all positive features that are going to aid both the safety of drivers and pedestrians,” McGonigle said.
Other efforts to make campus more pedes-trian-friendly include the incorporation of more green spaces. The Mid-Campus Green project, announced last year, is about halfway done and should be completed by spring, said Bonnie Humphrey, director of design and construction for Facilities Management. For example, the cul-de-sac near Scott Hall is being converted into a grassy area.
Humphrey said students may be more aware of campus construction going into this school year due to the large scale of some projects, such as the new building for the Bienen School of Music and the School of Communication. Construction on that began in June and is part of the southeast campus development project, which also includes plans for a new boathouse and a visitors center with an accompanying parking garage.
All three projects are still in the early stages of construction. Portions of the foundation for the music building have been laid, and the path adjacent to the Regenstein parking lot will remain closed until the project’s completion in Spring 2015, Humphrey said. Designs are complete for the new visitors and sailing centers, which are up for bid until Oct. 2 to determine who will do the construction work.
The University also made announcements this summer for several new construction initiatives, including an athletic and recreation complex on North Campus. Designs are also in development for a new Kellogg School of Management building next to the Allen Center.
The estimated cost of the southeast campus development projects alone totals $151 million, with $117 million designated for the music and communication building, said Jim Hurley, associ-ate vice president of budget for NU. Preliminary estimates allot about $220 million for the North Campus recreation complex, and the Kellogg building is expected to have a price tag of $280, Hurley said.
Although the music building and visitors center represent bigger projects, Humphrey said dorm renovations proved to be the most challenging this summer. Work on Chapin Humanities Residential College focused on increasing disability access with the installation of a wheelchair-accessible ramp and dorm rooms on the first floor.
Construction on academic buildings included the addition of two wings to the Technological Institute and renovations to Locy Hall, resulting in the relocation of the department of Earth and Planetary Sciences to Tech. Facilities Management also plans on opening the front doors to Deering Library sometime this fall.
The University will ramp up fundraising in the coming years to pay for the construction projects, Hurley said. NU will also have to rely more on federal grants, University funds and donor con-tributions, he said. NU issued $200 million in federal bonds in late March to finance construc-tion initiatives.
Hurley said the economic meltdown in 2008 affected the timeline of construction projects, which are now revving up as the University emerges from a strong fundraising year. Prior to the downturn, NU was engaged in numerous big-budget projects.
“That was a lot of building in a compressed period of time,” Hurley said. “We paused for a while. As we recovered, we’re about to enter another time of big building on both campuses.”

Here’s an introduction to the ten students who willbe writing columns for The Daily this quarter:
Hey there! My name’s Connor Regan and I am a freshman living in Shepard Residential College. I’m majoring in learning & organizational change in SESP with a second major in economics. As a freshman, I’m not involved in too many student groups just yet, but I’m interested in getting involved in Best Buddies and possibly ASG at NU. I’m also extremely excited to be writing for Forum at The Daily Northwestern this quarter! Go ‘Cats!
My name is Joseph Misulonas. I’m a junior majoring in political science and jour-nalism. With the upcoming election and the changing landscape of the media industry, this is an exciting time for a political news junkie like myself. While I will be writing mostly on politics, I will try to avoid the weekly diatribes spouting my personal politi-cal beliefs and instead try to discuss issues from a di� erent perspective. I will make the occasional pop culture reference and out-landish metaphor to emphasize my points. My goal is not necessarily to get the reader to agree with my opinion, but to at least prompt them to think about an issue from a new perspective.
Hello, my name is Juli. I’m a journalism major and a junior. I was born and raised in
Hey Northwestern! My name’s Ryan, and I am so excited to be a new columnist for � e Daily this fall. I’m a transfer sophomore from the University of Southern California and hail originally from the Chicago suburb of Western Springs, so anyone’s school advice/friendship would be much appreciated. I’m a big fan of all things related to pop culture, entertainment,
Hi, my name is Meredith Goodman, and I am an economics major in Wein-berg. Growing up in Austin, Texas, I developed a rabid passion for all things sports (especially college football!) and have a knack for memorizing sports facts and statistics. I want to cover sports issues that occur both on and off field, and I hope to share my enthusiasm with all Daily Northwestern readers in my col-umn. I would also like to give a shout-out to female sports journalists Mary Carillo and Erin Andrews for making it cool for girls to love sports!
I’m a sophomore transfer to Northwestern studying chemical engineering and econom-ics. I have a passion for all things technology, management and policy, and I’ll do my best to convey my inner geek to you! When I’m not busy devouring the day’s news or reading � e Economist, you will probably � nd me in class, socializing with friends or studying, like every other Northwestern student. I love sports and I’m always down to play a pickup game of any sport. Transferring here was the best decision of my life, and I’m looking forward to spend-ing the next three years with you!
My name is Yoni Muller and I’m a sophomore in Weinberg. I’m in the MMSS program and am also majoring in math and economics. I particu-larly like writing about political and economic current events. When I’m not writing, I like eating terribly unhealthy foods and alienating myself from people I care about. Actually, I don’t like the second one so much, but I do it anyway. I wrote an opinion column for my high school newspaper and did similar work as a contributor to our TV production program. I am extremely excited to continue working here at � e Daily.
My name is Arabella Watters. I’m a Santa Barbara, California, transplant and a Medill sophomore trying to � gure out how exactly life works in this foreign Midwestern land. I’m a reader, a writer, a foodie and have a penchant for controversial political debate, hence the existence of this column. I drink too much co� ee, like belugas very much, took Latin in high school and wish I was smart enough to take it here at Northwestern. I use semi-colons in excess. I think they’re a highly underrated punctuation mark. Despite being worlds away from the city (ok, town) I grew up in, I love Northwestern more than anything. I think that covers the basics.
Hi, I’m Sydney, and I’m a fresh-man from the Atlanta suburbs. I live in Shepard as an RTVF major considering
Myself in 100 words: happily undecided Weinberg freshman, suburban Chicago native, definition of a city girl, wannabe world traveler, proudly 100 percent Irish, five-year caddie who despises golf, former volleyball player and cross country run-ner, obsessed with Dave Matthews Band (and Mumford and Sons and the Black Keys and all classic rock, get the picture?), world-class shower singer, competitive dancer, professional procrastinator, darkly humorous Arrested Development addict, guilty Pinterest user, fanatical Tweeter who is otherwise technologically clueless, lover of leather jackets and boots, prone to dropping awful puns, rabid football fan who can’t throw a spiral and so much more.
Meet the Chicago and have worked my way through elementary school and high school to ful� ll my dream of being a columnist in a college newspaper. I can most o� en be found in my room, which has just enough space for me to get through the door and to my desk. I spend most of my time writing or watching shame-less reality television on my tablet. When I’m not doing either of those things I can be found drawing, having an existential crisis or thinking about something with a scornful look on my face. My favorite topics to write about are Chicago, the good and the bad, television, pop culture and how pedestrians and bicyclists make me an angry driver.

additional academic programs. I attended the Freshman Urban Program and will also write reviews for The Current this quarter. I have not had any formal back-ground in journalism before arriving at Northwestern. However, growing up with lawyers for parents has inspired in me a familiarity and passion regarding politics, community and debates; these sentiments, along with fascination with journalism and a love of writing in various forms, have led me to kick off college writing for Forum this fall.

Blustery winds didn’t stop Evanston busi-ness owners, activists, officials and residents from gathering to discuss the future of their community Wednesday evening.
About 200 people turned out to the third annual MashUp networking event, which was held at Hotel Orrington after its original venue of a Northwestern beachfront tent blew over.
With live music, food provided by local res-taurants, makeover demonstrations by student salon Pivot Point Academy and at least two juggling circus performers, MashUp urged participants to mingle and discuss ideas for the future of Evanston businesses, schools, arts and nonprofits.
Joey Conway, events coordinator of sushi restaurant Koi, described MashUp as the one Chamber of Commerce event “everyone looks forward to every year.”
“All of us small business owners, we do it all ourselves,” he said. “We don’t really get a chance to connect with other small businesses and I think that’s the most important thing. I live in the city and I come from city restau-rants, where you don’t really get to connect with other small businesses because there are so many and it’s more like each neighborhood has its own niche. But in Evanston it’s a whole community.”
For many participating small businesses, MashUp was an opportunity to meet other business owners and market products. Michael Vasilko of Vasilko Architects and Associates used the event to spread the word about a devel-opment project: the transformation of 727-729 Howard St. into a theater for the coming of
Edgewater company City Lit Theater.“It’s all looking very positive,” he said of the
project he and Ald. Ann Rainey (8th) have been working on for more than a year. “Every-one who lives or works along Howard Street is excited about the idea, so it’s not that I have to do a lot of work but I just want to make sure the other chamber members and other busi-nesses know about it.”
Other items on the agenda at Wednes-day’s event included the presentation of three awards: The Corrine Passage Spirit of Evan-
ston Award, BurgerWar Winners and the Catalyst Award, which recognizes efforts to improve rela-tions between the city and Northwestern.
This year, the Cata-lyst Award was granted to Kemi Jona, director of the Office of STEM Education Partnerships, and Supterintendent Eric Witherspoon of the Evanston Township High School.
Eugene Sunshine, NU’s senior vice president for business and finance, and Evanston Mayor Eliza-beth Tisdahl presented the award in recognition of STEM’s work to pro-mote science learning at ETHS.
“� e city is proud to be part of the MashUp, and as
for the Catalyst Award, Northwestern University has always worked well with the Evanston school systems,” Tisdahl said. “But recently Northwestern has decided to make sure that Evanston Township High School is the number one high school in the United States.”

Evanston City Council discusses TIC funding
By RACHEL JANIKthe daily northwestern
The Evanston City Council met to dis-cuss disbursement of $50,000 in grant funds to Technology Innovation Center Monday, following which members of the council expressed their shock and grief at the recent shooting death of Evanston Township High School freshman Dajae Coleman.
In Monday’s Planning and Development Committee meeting, an ordinance requiring that Evanston landlords obtain licenses to operate was introduced for future discussion. The meeting ran long and cut the council’s regular meeting short.
As a result, the council postponed action on selecting a final project team to build an ice rink and community center in Crown Park, 1701 Main St., in addition to other agenda items.
During discussion of allocating grant funds to TIC, chairman Charles Happ stood before the council to talk about the success of the incubator’s programs in launching small busi-nesses. He said that he hopes the grant would allow TIC to work toward a “more sustainable (financial) model” and become independent from public funding.
Evanston Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl added that the TIC-sponsored Mini Maker Faire — which she called “an indescribable event” — was a resounding success. The Mini Maker Faire was an August showcase of the work of local inventors and entrepreneurs.
“It was, I thought, marvelous, and it attracted some very promising businesses,” Tisdahl said.
During continuing discussion of TIC’s grant, Ald. Ann Rainey (8th) said she would vote in favor of the incubator Monday night, but promised that it would be the last time if
Northwestern didn’t agree to match the city’s contribution, as she said the University has in the past.
“It bothers me that the city of Evanston is the sole support for this organization,” Rainey said. “It bothers me terribly.”
She said that she would not vote for “a single penny more,” unless NU puts forward funds to support TIC in the future.
The approval passed 8-1, with the only dis-senting vote coming from Ald. Coleen Burrus (9th).
After concluding the vote, the council moved on to the consent agenda and reports from standing committees.
Before adjourning for the night, alder-men recognized Satur-day’s shooting death of 14-year-old ETHS stu-dent Dajae Coleman. Ald. Peter Braithwaite (2nd) represents the ward where Coleman lived. He encouraged people to grieve in their own way, and stressed that community mem-bers support organiza-tions like the YMCA and the YWCA, which help support children of the city.
“If there is anything I would ask of the com-munity, it would be patience,” Braithwaite
said. “There are many of us that are paying very close attention to what’s going on, and the police are working very diligently to make sure that we find justice in a situation like this.”
Tisdahl invited community members to attend a meeting to discuss nonviolence ini-tiatives. It will be held on Oct. 2 at 7 p.m. The location is yet to be determined, and Tisdahl said more details will be available on the city’s website soon.

SUMMER WRAP- UP Did you spend your summer vacation sleeping?No worries: we’ll bring you up to speed. Here aresome key on-campus and in-town summer stories.
By CAT ZAKRZEWSKI and LAUREN CARUBAthe daily northwestern
1. New diversity offi cer is appointedIn response to a student petition for an
administrator dedicated to improving diver-sity at Northwestern, the Division of Student Affairs named Lesley-Ann Brown the director of campus inclusion and community. Brown, who will act as a liaison to students, joins Dana Cordero, who was appointed as the assistant provost for diversity and inclusion in response to several racial insensitivity incidents last year. Patricia Telles-Irvin, vice president of student affairs, announced the decision in an e-mail to students September 14.
“Among some of her responsibilities, (Brown) will be overseeing the RespectNU website, where bias incidents can be reported; developing opportunities for ongoing intercul-tural dialogues; working with students, staff and faculty to enhance our campus climate; and providing cultural competence training,” Telles-Irvin wrote.
2. Norris undergoes a dining overhaulFrontera Fresco, a quick-service branch of
Chicago chef Rick Bayless’ Frontera Grill, will open in Norris University Center in October, replacing Sbarro, Crepe Bistro and Jamba Juice. Julie Payne-Kirchmeier, vice president of student affairs for student auxiliary services, announced the overhaul Sept. 10 and said stu-dents had complained about the old Norris options. Frontera Fresco, she said, will meet students’ requests for “high quality, organic, sustainable, responsible, fresh” food.
3. Sigma Phi Epsilon is suspendedThe Sigma Phi Epsilon board of directors
suspended Northwestern’s chapter on Aug. 13 following a “pattern of risky behavior exhib-ited by the chapter over the last year,” said the national fraternity’s executive director, Brian J. Warren Jr., in a statement to The Daily. The chapter has discontinued all operations and
participation in social or recruitment events pending a review of all undergraduate mem-bers. The suspension of Sig Ep follows other changes within NU’s Greek community: Delta Tau Delta renewed its chapter in the fall after being shut down in 2007, and Chi Psi was closed by its national headquarters last winter.
4. Burgwell Howard gains new positionIn mid-July, the University announced the
appointment of Burgwell Howard, former dean of students, to vice president of student engagement. The new position was created to involve the administration more with student life and to encourage connections among dif-ferent NU groups, according to an NU news release.
“You may write for The Daily and you may be involved in a religious faith community and also be involved as a PA and you’re one person, yet there are multiple ways you interact with Northwestern,” he said. “This alignment of offices and programs is looking to approach students in the way they experience North-western.” The Office of Student Affairs will begin searching for a new dean of students in the fall.
5. Facility emergencies at Tech and PattenThe University sent students a series of
emails, texts and voicemail messages about campus facility emergencies. The first inci-dent occurred June 25, when the Evanston Fire Department, University Police and Evan-ston Police Department addressed an electri-cal vault problem outside the Technological Institute. Tech, the Ford Motor Company Engineering Design Center and the Center for Catalysis and Surface Science were evacu-ated. About two weeks later on July 16, the University contacted students again when a gas leak at Patten Gymnasium forced the evacu-ation of 15 buildings in the area. No one was injured in the incident.

6. Some students miss robbery alertsSome Northwestern students reported not receiv-
ing University email alerts about armed robberies in Evanston. During one weekend in August, NU sent out two email alerts a er a 16-year-old and three female NU students were robbed in separate inci-dences. Students not taking summer classes were not noti ed about that weekend’s incidents, even if they were still living in Evanston during the summer.
All students and some alumni, however, received NU Emergency Management emails this summer notifying them about a power outage on the Fourth of July and a gas leak less than two weeks later.
7. Evanston Police mistakenly handcuff Northwestern professor’s son
� e Evanston Police Department is conducting an internal investigation a er an o� cer wrong-fully detained the 13-year-old son of Medill pro-fessor Ava � ompson Greenwell. Greenwell’s son, Diwani, matched the description of a burglary suspect: a black male wearing blue cargo shorts.
Greenwell told � e Daily that the experience was “the worst 10 minutes of my life as a parent.” � ree aldermen later apologized to her during the city’s Human Services Committee meeting, Evan-ston Now reported. In an op-ed posted to CNN last week, Greenwell wrote that “[Diwani’s] crime appeared to be that he was a black male.” She led suit Sunday against the city and the o� cer who handcu� ed her son, Patch reported Monday.
8. Evanston reports human cases of West Nile virus
Evanston has not been spared from the latest nationwide outbreak of West Nile virus. As of the last week of August, there were six human cases of the virus in Evanston, said city spokesman Eric Palmer. In response, the North Shore Mosquito Abatement District scheduled adult mosquito spraying opera-tions in Evanston for Aug. 28 and Sept. 11.
Evonda � omas, director of the Evanston Health Department, said the number of West Nile virus
cases in Evan-ston ultimately depends on the existence of standing water, which provides a breed-ing ground for mosquitos.
9. CTA cuts 201 Night Route as part of decongestion plan
� e Chicago Transit Authority board approved a crowding reduction plan that will eliminate an overnight bus serving Evanston. � e plan, which was developed with Northwestern’s Transportation Center, will add service to 48 bus routes and dis-continue 12 others, including the 201 Night Route.
Currently running as early as 1 a.m. on week-days to later than 6 a.m. on Sunday, the 201 Night Route o� ers an alternative for Evanston-bound passengers a er the Purple Line stops service. Before service changes take e� ect on Dec. 16, CTA is planning community meetings to inform passengers about the upcoming adjustments.
10. Youth advocates call for collaboration among families, social service agencies
Curt’s Cafe, a nonprofit restaurant that employs and trains ex-offender youth in the restaurant business, hosted a panel discussion on local youth issues Sept. 18. Five community leaders joined to address problems of racism, poverty and lack of services.
Panelists were Kevin Brown, city youth pro-grams manager; Missy Carpenter, Youth Organi-zations Umbrella community schools manager; Bill Geiger, CEO of McGaw YMCA; Sacella Smith, education director of Youth Job Center; Susan Trieschmann, owner of Curt’s Cafe and Kathy Lyons, executive director of � e James B. Moran Center for Youth Advocacy. Two recent Evanston Township High School graduates, Charles Je� erson and Grarg Tertulien, repre-sented the youth perspective while ETHS Super-intendent Eric Witherspoon moderated.

This summer, NU sought the support of stu-dents, alumni and neighbors for the proposed research facility, marketing it as an economic and academic boost. The project will bring an esti-mated $150 million in research grants to the uni-versity and a $390 million annual net income for Chicago, according to an NU news release from last month. The new research facility would also create 2,500 construction jobs and 2,000 staff posi-tions, according to the release.
In an August poll conducted by public affairs firm Purple Strategies, 72 percent of Chicago resi-dents who had heard both sides of the argument said they favored NU’s plan to build the facility.

Week.“It was really a great way to highlight our
partnership, to announce that to the fresh-men and to let 2,000-plus people know,” he said.
At the convocation, Schapiro called Nas a “brilliant musician.” He said he had not heard of Young the Giant before but recently listened to the band’s song “Cough Syrup” on YouTube, prompting cheers from the audience.
Koepke said the two acts emerged as clear choices as A&O members whittle down their list of possible Blowout performers.
“Personally I love Young the Giant, and we have the greatest rapper of all time, Nas, coming to campus,” Koepke said.
He said Blowout’s timing this year will make the event even more exciting.
“It’s only 12 school days into the year,” he said. “It’s an opportunity for a commu-nity gathering where half of Northwestern can come to the event and they won’t have midterms or quizzes yet.”
Blowout tickets are $10 for undergradu-ate students and $15 for graduate students. They will be available at the Norris Box Office and on its website.
Free shuttles will be provided for students to and from Welsh-Ryan Arena.

“Basketball was his everything,” McLean said.Dudley Brown, the president of basketball league
Fellowship of Afro-American Men, met Coleman when he played for the league in middle school. Recalling a respectful and obedient player, Brown said all who knew Coleman attested to the fact that he shied away from trouble. Brown said he firmly believes Coleman was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
According EPD annual reports, homicide remains a rare occurrence. There were five homicides in Evan-ston in 2010, reduced to three in 2011. Coleman’s mur-der marks the fourth homicide in Evanston this year. Overall, incidents involving handguns have declined in the past five years, from 137 in 2007 to 77 in 2011.
ETHS will offer grief counseling this week. On Monday, the school announced the creation of a memorial fund for Coleman’s family.
The high school has also posted a copy of Coleman’s most recent paper, written for his humanities class last week, about the support Coleman had received.
“I get a lot of support from my family; they made me the person I am today,” Coleman wrote.
Although the future of the police investigation is still uncertain, Coleman’s family and friends continue to remember him as a well-loved boy with a bright future.
“Northwestern would have been recruiting him,” Rice said. “He was that type of kid, athletics and aca-demics. He had unlimited potential.”

Originally from the small Long Island town of New Hyde Park, N.Y., Maddula lived with parents Prasad and Dhanalakshmi Maddula before coming to NU last year.
“I don’t know what to do,” Prasad Maddula told The Daily on Monday morning, shortly after UP first notified him and his wife of the disap-pearance. “I’m so scared and upset. There are no words that I can use to explain anything.”
After not hearing from Harsha since Friday, Prasad called a community assistant at PARC
on Sunday night, but said the CA did not know anything about his son’s whereabouts.
Prasad then decided to fly to Chicago with his wife to deal with the situation directly, he told The Daily. Their flight landed Monday evening.
According to PARC residents, police visited the residential college multiple times Monday. Detectives also searched Maddula’s room, Davis confirmed.
“We are cooperating with the police to help with the ongoing investigation, and we are all thinking of Harsha and his family at this time,” PARC president Linzy Wagner said in a statement.
Weinberg sophomore John Kim, who lived in PARC last year and is good friends with Mad-dula, said the tight-knit residential community is overcome with concern.
“The atmosphere is pretty heavy,” Kim said. “Obviously all the sophomores are worried and the freshmen are freaking out.”
The Evanston Police Department has been notified of the situation, said spokesman Cmdr. Jay Parrott. However, EPD is not handling the investigation because the missing person report was filed with UP.
The unfolding situation of a missing NU student is reminiscent of Trevor Boehm, who
went missing Nov. 5, 2008. His body was found in Lake Michigan and identified 12 days later after an apparent suicide.

A� er getting out to an 8-1 start this season, Northwestern was taken down a few notches last weekend.
� e No. 10 Wildcats (9-2, 0-1 Big Ten) were on the road for eight of their � rst nine games and beat four ranked schools at home. However, the momentum did not carry over into Friday, when NU dropped its conference opener 3-2 to Ohio State (7-3, 1-0) in Columbus, Ohio.
“It was a really good battle,” coach Tracey Fuchs said. “We just weren’t able to get that third goal.”
Chelsea Armstrong scored twice for the Cats as the senior attacker continued to add to her school records in points and goals. She got NU o to a quick start with a tally just 2 minutes and 54 seconds into the contest o a penalty corner, but the Cats could only muster up two shots the rest of the half.
� e Buckeyes continually buzzed around soph-omore goalie Maddy Carpenter and managed 12 shots in the game. Ohio State’s � rst goal came o a rebound a� er Carpenter made a save on Berta Queralt, but the forward was there to clean up
the rebound. Ohio State took the lead for good just nine minutes later when mid� elder Kaitlyn Wagner got the ball on the right side of the cage and buried her shot past Carpenter.
NU had � ve shots in the second half, including a chance to equalize midway through the frame. However, the apparent goal was called back because it hit an NU player’s foot. Ohio State goalkeeper Emma Voelker made all three of her saves in the second half, and the missed equalizer was just a sign of the NU o ense getting into rhythm.
“We were really pressuring them there,” Fuchs said. “� e strength of our team is our ability to put goals on the board.”
� e Buckeyes scored on an empty net o a penalty corner, and Armstrong answered just 58
seconds later. But it was not enough for the Cats to crawl back into the contest.
� e Cats were back at it Sunday against Ohio (4-5) and once again got a goal from Armstrong in the � rst 10 minutes of the game to take the lead. However, it was freshman mid� elder Caroline Troncelliti who scored the clutch goal, � nding the back of the cage with just less than 11 minutes remaining to send NU home with a 2-1 win.
“It was really important for us to bounce back,” Fuchs said. “We were focusing on what we needed to � x.”
NU peppered the Ohio goal with shots through-out the � rst half while keeping the Bobcats shot-less during the � rst 35 minutes. Brittany Walker made the di erence for Ohio, making four saves — including three on Armstrong — to keep the Bobcats within a goal at the end of the � rst half. � e only dent in the armor was courtesy of the Cats’ number two leading scorer. Junior mid� elder Tara Pu enberger found Armstrong in front of the cage for her Big Ten-leading 16th goal of the season.
“We were getting shots, but they weren’t high quality shots,” Fuchs said. “I was very pleased with how poised we were out there.”
Ohio only got one shot on goal the entire game
but made it count 12 minutes into the second half. Adele Sammons’ shot o a penalty corner was de� ected and tied the game to capture some of the momentum. It was one of six penalty corners in the second half for the Bobcats and accounted for � ve of the six shots Ohio had in the second half.
Troncelliti’s tiebreaker came at an opportune time for the Cats, who had just cleared a pen-alty corner. Redshirt senior mid� elder Kaylee Pohlmeyer knocked a pass across to Troncelliti, who then slid the ball under Walker for the goal. It was her � � h goal of the season, which is the most among freshmen and third most on the team.
“It’s really important (to get secondary scor-ing),” Fuchs said. “(Troncelliti) and Kaylee have really started to get on track and that’s important moving forward.”

swirling o of Lake Michigan, the ball ended up on the near post and Ritter happened to be at the right place at the right time.
A� er the Cats scored the second goal, they slowed the game down and tried to control the ball. NU’s only o ensive chances came when Michigan brought men forward to attack and opened up space in the mid� eld and defensive third. It was all part of Lenahan’s gameplan a� er the Wolverines went down a man.
“You’ll get chances because they’re committing so many forward,” Lenahan said. “You just got to be smart and professional and disciplined and we did a good job with that.”
NU has started this season a lot more quickly than it did last year. � e Cats were 3-3-2 in their � rst eight games last season, which included losses to Eastern Illinois and Portland. � e NU starting lineup includes eight players who got signi� cant minutes last season, and the experi-ence has shown. Ritter attributes the better start to the more seasoned players. Lenahan, however, credits the di erence to how NU has executed on the � eld this season as opposed to the beginning of the 2011 campaign.
“We gave away games at the beginning of last year,” Lenahan said. “We didn’t get outplayed, we gave away games. Once we stopped giving away games, we were pretty good. � is year we didn’t give away games and once you don’t give away games, you’re able to � nd ways to win games.”

Northwestern entered the weekend at 11-0, taking its best win streak since 1983 into con-ference play.
� e Big Ten, however was not impressed with the Wildcats run of success. NU fell to Wiscon-sin 3-1 on Friday before dropping another four set match to No. 12 Minnesota on Sunday, losing its � rst two conference meetings in the process. Coach Keylor Chan said the poor showing came down to poor execution by the Cats rather than a superior opponent.
“It was nothing that we didn’t see (during the streak),” Chan said. “It was surely execution at the end. It was 23 to 24 in set one, and we miss a serve in the net that gives them the game. And then we’re up 22 to 17 in set three, and we can’t side out in that rotation. And that’s a good rota-tion for us.”
� e Cats trailed for most of the � rst set against the Badgers, as Wisconsin kept NU at a four-point distance on the back of strong hit-ting. � e Cats rallied toward the end of the set, pulling within one at 23-24, but a service error by sophomore middle blocker Katie Dutchman gave Wisconsin the set.
NU kept the momentum from the rally going in the second frame, jumping out to a 16-11 lead before holding o� a late Badger rally to tie the match at one. A� er hal� ime, however, Wiscon-sin pulled itself together, and despite the Cats keeping the match close, the Badgers took the � nal two sets 26-24 and 25-23.
“We came out, and we fought for every point,” senior setter Madalyn Shalter said. “We just came up a little short. (We can do better at) serving aggressive. We can de� nitely get the other team out of system more. Passing, blocking, the whole mixture. Everything can improve.”
Looking to bounce back against a tough Min-nesota squad on Sunday, NU came out � ring and took the � rst set. � e Cats won the � rst � ve points and never trailed in the frame en route to a 25-17 win. � e Golden Gophers turned the tide in the second set, taking the frame 25-18
and tying the match. � e momentum Minnesota had gained would prove to be too much for NU, and the Cats dropped the � nal two sets 21-25 and 15-25.
“Us coming out so strong gave them a lot of motivation to come out and kick our butts,” Dutchman said. “� ey’re a big team, big com-pared to us. And they just kind of got the energy and took charge of the game.”
Despite the losses, Chan saw things to like about his squad moving forward.
“You want to win, that’s for sure,” Chan said. “But we took a tough one against Wisconsin. I thought we played okay, and I wanted to see how we would come out and perform. We came out and we pushed, and that’s what you want to see. � at’s something that we’re working on. It’s a tough weekend for us. You never want to get swept at home. Hopefully we learn from this.”
Stephanie Holthus o� ered no excuses for the Cats’ poor start to their Big Ten season.
“We just have to come out and play better volleyball,” the junior outside hitter said.

� e Wildcats entered the weekend looking to stay above .500 and secure their � rst conference win. However, Northwestern remains winless in Big Ten play with losses to Penn State and Ohio State.
� e Wildcats (4-5-2, 0-3) hung with both teams, outplaying them at times, but ultimately, Wildcat defensive mistakes led the Nittany Lions and the Buckeyes to best the Cats at their home � eld.
NU outperformed Ohio State (7-3-0, 2-1 Big Ten) in the � rst half of Sunday’s game, outshooting the Buckeyes 8-5 with numerous scoring oppor-tunities. Still, the Wildcats were unable to � nd the back of the net.
“We had a lot of shots and a lot of opportunities. We just have to work on putting our � nal chance away,” sophomore forward Sami Schrakamp said. “If we can get the � rst goal, I think we can change the whole � ow of the game.”
Schrakamp was responsible for many of the Cats’ abundant o� ensive opportunities.
“[Schrakamp] gave us a real spark today, and she has the last couple of games,” coach Michael Moynihan said. “She’s been dangerous generat-ing some good serves.”
In the first half, the Cats’ had eight shots on goal and displayed con-sistent defensive play. � e Buckeyes recorded three corner kicks early in the match but were unable to convert for a score. � e combination of strong play by NU and lack of execution by Ohio State
led to a 0-0 tie at half time. In the 58th minute, however, the Buckeyes
scored their � rst goal on a break by senior for-ward Ti� any Cameron, taking a lead they would never relinquish.
NU viewed the goal as a result of a Wildcat miscommunication.
“� ey get opportunities when we give them to them. � at was our mistake that they scored on, not something they produced themselves,” Schrakamp said. “It was our mistake and our wrong communication, and if we � x that then they won’t have those opportunities because we shut them down in every other aspect.”
� e Buckeyes capitalized on another Wildcat miscue in the 74th minute for their second and � nal goal of the game.
Junior defenseman Natalie Lagunas believes more communication on defense will stop these types of goals from being scored.
“We all have to stay together in the back and keep talking. As long as we have each others’ back we will be okay next time,” she said. “We need to make the right decision when to step or when to not. You have to think about a lot of things on defense.”
Two days earlier, the Cats fell 4-1 to the Big Ten-leading Nittany Lions (8-2-0, 3-0) at home, making the same types of mistakes that plagued their game against the Buckeyes.
“It’s just we either made poor choices or we have a bad touch, and it’s killing us,” Moynihan said. “As long as you keep the ball out of the goal, you’re in the game, and we’re giving up really so� goals.”
Despite the defensive mistakes and di� culty � nishing, the Cats were proud of their ability to play with the top teams in the Big Ten.
“We stepped up and showed we are a di� erent team this year. We came out a lot harder than we usually do. We usually come out on our heels,” Schrakamp said. “Especially in the � rst half, we were � ghting and we were battling. It’s shocking teams this year.”
With the losses, the Cats fell below .500 and to 0-3 in the Big Ten with two more conference games coming up this weekend.

On a day celebrating the defend-ing Big Ten champions, Northwestern certainly played the part.
� e Wildcats controlled the run of play from the opening whistle on Sunday, cruising to a 2-0 victory over Michigan (2-5-0, 0-1-0 Big Ten). It was NU’s sixth win in its rst eight games and its third consecutive shutout.
“Any Big Ten win is a good win,” coach Tim Lenahan said. “We con-trolled possession at times and we were very e� cient with two set piece goals.”
NU (6-0-2, 1-0-0) raced out of the starting gate, earning a corner kick 90 seconds into the game. It was one of ve corner kicks in the rst half for the Cats. � ey also had 10 shots, including four on goal in the rst 45 minutes.
� e turning point of the game came in the 22nd minute when Wolverines defender Dylan Mencia tripped an NU attacker just inches outside the penalty box. Mencia was assessed a yellow card and on the subsequent free kick, the ball somehow found its way through a crowd of bodies and onto the foot of sophomore defender Grant Wilson, who tapped the ball into the net. Senior mid elder Chris Ritter took the free kick and the low drive was de� ly de� ected by senior mid elder Nick Gendron to Wilson through the pile of players.
“We’ve been working a lot on them in practice recently,” Wilson said. “We didn’t think we were executing well enough so in the past couple of weeks we’ve focused on being positive on set pieces and scoring more (o� set pieces) than we’re giving up (o� set pieces).”
Michigan chased the ball for a
majority of the rst half and put up a lackluster attack until the nal 15 minutes of the frame. � e Wolverines only had three shots in the rst half, and all of them came in those 15 min-utes. Only one of them reached goalie Tyler Miller, a header in the last two minutes which the sophomore easily dealt with.
� e Cats’ team defense kept the Wolverines o� the scoreboard and, more importantly, away from Miller’s goal. Michigan only had ve shots in the match, only one of which was a quality opportunity. Wilson said the defense has become a more cohesive unit as the season has progressed.
“Our defense is much more orga-nized now,” Wilson said. “� e rst couple of games we were trying to get everything together. Now that we can work on a solid defense, the back four, all the mid eld and the forwards, everyone’s working as a team together.”
In the 54th minute, Mencia made a vicious tackle on Gendron which earned him a second yellow card, resulting in an ejection. With the Wolverines down a man, the Cats took advantage and 10 minutes later struck for another goal o� a set piece. � is time Wilson’s corner kick found the head of Ritter, who deposited the ball past a sprawling Adam Grinwis for the 2-0 advantage.
� e corner kick was a lesson in adapting to the wind of Lakeside Field. Wilson’s kick was supposed to go to the far post, but with the wind

“There’s a lot of areas we can improve in, and we also kind of showed that we’re susceptible to a few things.” — Quentin Williams, NU defensive end

KICK OF THE RITTER Senior midfi elder Chris Ritter recorded his third goal of the season against Michigan to seal the Wildcats’ fi rst conference victory. “Any Big Ten win is a good win,” coach Tim Lenahan said.
By JOSH WALFISHdaily senior staffer
Northwestern’s 38-7 win over South Dakota was routine in many ways.
� e Wildcats ran the ball e� ectively, were accurate in the passing game and kept the Coyotes to less than 250 yards of o� ense. However, the blowout vic-tory also showed just how much work is still le� for NU (4-0) as it heads into Big Ten play next week.
“We can get a lot better,” senior defensive end Quentin Williams said. “� ere’s a lot of areas we can improve in, and we also kind of showed that we’re susceptible to a few things.”
South Dakota exposed some of the weaknesses that the NU defense had in the beginning of the season. Syra-cuse sliced and diced the NU second-ary with quick passes on three-step drops, and the Coyotes had success when they used that tactic. South Dakota deployed quick slant routes to get separation of the Cats’ defensive backs and gain seven to nine yards per catch.
“We watched a lot of tape, especially from the Syracuse game,” quarterback Josh Vander Maten said. “(We) tried to take all we could from that. We did as much as we could.”
However, the Coyotes’ bread and butter is their ability to move the quarterback out of the pocket and into open space. South Dakota rarely kept Vander Maten stationary in the pocket because of the strong pass rush from the NU defensive line. � e Cats were
constantly chasing Vander Maten, and the sophomore showed poise by roll-ing out and reading the defense.
By using bootlegs to move the pocket, South Dakota was able to neutralize the pass rush, which coach South Dakota coach Joe Glenn called the strength of the NU defense. � e Cats sacked Vander Maten just once and only hit him a couple of times when he threw. By moving the pocket, Glenn hoped to limit the big plays from the NU defense that would have
given the Cats more con dence.“For us to drop back and throw it
60 or 70 times would have been hor-rible,” Glenn said. “� e score could have been even worse if we dropped back and let them sack us and get the (momentum) going for them.”
� e lone score for the Coyotes came on a naked bootleg inside the NU ve-yard line. Vander Maten rolled out to the le� and the only players near him were his receiver Will Powell and an NU defender. Vander Maten
said he knew Powell would be able to block the defender, so he decided to run and cruised into the end zone untouched.
� e Coyotes’ receivers did little to help Vander Maten in the rst half, dropping several passes and costing South Dakota numerous opportu-nities to move the ball. � e second half was much better, and there were no drops from the South Dakota receiving corps. It was the di� erence between Vander Maten being 9-of-20 in the rst half and 8-of-13 in the sec-ond half throwing the football.
“We made too many mistakes that just had nothing to do with North-western,” Glenn said. “We just didn’t play a clean rst half and allowed them to get out 28-0 and we were dead in the water.”
� e Cats know Indiana will try to exploit their weaknesses Saturday. Junior linebacker Damien Proby said the team will be ready for whatever the Hoosiers throw at them.
“Coach Fitz, being a former line-backer, he still has the instincts to coach us up on defense and our posi-tion speci cally,” Proby said. “He knows that the screen is going to come this week. We know that from watch-ing Indiana’s lm to knowing where our weaknesses are. The screens, the draws. But that’s something that we’re going to practice with (defensive coordinator Mike Hankwitz). We’ll be ready for it by the time the game comes.”

When I checked the Associated Press Top 25 poll Sunday afternoon, I didn’t see a little number next to Northwestern’s name. I should have.
I’m not suggesting that a win against South Dakota all of a sud-den proves that the Wildcats are the team to beat in the Big Ten, but it adds more strength to NU’s resume. And that resume was fairly diversi-fied to begin with.
We’ve seen this team come back late. We’ve seen them take down a more talented squad. We’ve seen them win despite not playing their best. And now we’ve seen them put away a team they clearly outclassed. We know the kids can play.
The Cats have beaten three BCS teams so far this season, something no other school in the nation can claim. Are either Syracuse, Vander-bilt or Boston College intimidat-ing teams? No. But most would argue that they’re solid at worst, with Vanderbilt possibly a team to watch.
Now, I can forgive the voters for wanting to see a win against a Big Ten opponent before deciding that NU belongs among the nation’s best teams. I get that. Non-conference heroes are often pummeled by tougher competition. But beating Indiana won’t tell us anything we don’t already know. This team is good.
So our next problem becomes finding a team to bump off the list, but no worries there. I have a few ideas toward the bottom of the poll, some more legitimate than others.
No. 24 Boise State beat Brigham Young 7-6 on Thursday and fell to a weak Michigan State team in their opener. Few would argue that BYU is a good team — no offense intended to the Cougars — and the loss to the Spartans is looking less and less forgivable.
And speaking of the Spartans, No. 20 Michigan State had some serious struggles with Eastern Michigan on the heels of getting trounced by Notre Dame. Perhaps the loss of quarterback Kirk Cous-ins is proving too much to handle.
Seeing Rutgers in the top 25 is a little disorienting, and the fact that 4-0 Louisville is ranked even higher leaves me feeling like I need a shower. Point is, I feel as though NU has a case of being as good or better than all of these teams. Which would make them ranked.
Admittedly, these ranking sys-tems are a little flawed, and the dif-ference between No. 25 and receiv-ing the most votes of any unranked team is probably negligible.
The ranking, or lack thereof, probably means little to Fitz or the team. But it means a lot to me, and it means a lot to the student body. It’s verification that we are who we think we are. It says we’re more than a non-conference bully. It reassures us that we can compete, not just for a bowl berth, but for a Big Ten title.
Four straight wins have this school thinking big. And they should. This team is among the best 25 in the country. After next week, they’ll have the little number to prove it.
