OfficeMax store opens downtownBy AMANDA GILBERT!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+) @amandadance.
O/ceMax celebrated the grand open-ing of its new Business Solutions Center this week in downtown Evanston.
0e o/ce supplies store, 1213 Sher-man Ave., is geared toward small busi-ness, o4ering Web hosting, printing and credit card processing in addition to O/ceMax’s usual products.
It is the national chain’s second Busi-ness Solutions Center in the Chicago area. 0e 5rst one opened this summer in Chicago’s Streeterville neighborhood.
Kristin Muntean, vice president of strategic initiatives and innovation for O/ceMax, hailed the Business Solu-tions Center as a “new way to partner with today’s growing businesses.”
“With the launch of our new O/ce-Max Business Solutions Center, we are pleased to introduce a relationship-based retail service center focused on
partnering with Evanston businesses to help them grow,” she said in a news release.
Joanne Rhymer, business services manager, said a Business Solutions adviser will help Evanston customers understand the store’s o4erings.
“0ere are so many businesses in this area,” Rhymer said. “0is can be very bene5cial for them because it is a one stop shop for them.”
Michael Lewis, executive vice presi-dent and president of Retail at O/ceMax, said the store hopes to serve a variety of di4erent small businesses and entrepre-neurs with di4erent needs.
“We want local businesses in our com-munity to know that they don’t have to go it alone,” he said in a news release. “Every step of the process — from for-malizing your business to setting up your website and marketing – will be available through the O/ceMax Business Solu-tions Center.”

PedalPub considers EvanstonBy PATRICK SVITEK$%&'( -#)&*+ -!%66#+ @PatrickSvitek
Locked in a licensing dispute with Chicago, an unconventional business is considering taking its pedal-powered bar to the former home of a temperance movement.
Minneapolis-based PedalPub, which o4ers bar tours using a 12-passenger bike, says it has reached a tipping point with the Chicago Department of Business A4airs and Consumer Protection, citing a three-year back-and-forth over the appropriate license for its quirky operation.
“We don’t know what to do at this point,” said Matt Graham, Chicago market manager for PedalPub. “We’re completely at a loss as to what could possibly solve this problem.”
On Tuesday, Graham said he planned to visit Evanston this week and has already talked with the Chamber of Commerce, which he described as “very welcoming.”
Elaine Kemna-Irish, executive director of the chamber, con5rmed 0ursday that she has spoken with Graham and the city’s economic development team has met with PedalPub. So far, city o/cials have not found any major problems with PedalPub operating in Evanston, she said.
“I think it might work,” Kemna-Irish added. “0e city is really looking into it.”
Graham said PedalPub is eying Evan-ston because it is a Chicago suburb that still has a “city feel.” Plus, the business does not 5t in on streets where the speed limit is over 7. mph, he added.
PedalPub’s public interest in Evanston comes weeks a8er the department denied its application for a charter/sightseeing vehicle license. Graham said he doubts PedalPub will win an appeal of the deci-sion, a hearing for which is scheduled next week.
Department spokesman David Stau-dacher said 0ursday that Pedal Pub
currently meets one of two requirements for a charter/sightseeing vehicle under Chicago law: Its vehicles hold 19 or more people, but they run afoul of Federal Motor Vehicle Standards, which require a braking system and seat belts, among other safety measures.
“0e City of Chicago has been working with PedalPub to get a proper license,” Staudacher wrote in an email to 0e Daily.

Medill-Bienen sophomore 0ad-deus Tukes became involved with his two most visible roles at Northwest-ern in an unusual way — at the last minute.
As someone who joined Battle of the Bands-winning musical group Juc E Frut just two months before it earned a spot in the Dillo Day lineup, Tukes tends to dive right into his biggest com-mitments. 0e trend continued when
he applied for his latest role on cam-pus, Associate Student Government’s associate vice president of diversity and inclusion, the night before the applica-tion was due.
“I’m out of my comfort zone in this position,” Tukes said. “But I’m not going to learn unless I force myself to be uncomfortable at 5rst in order to adapt and learn and 5gure out how to help people in other spaces that aren’t my space. 0at’s why I wanted this position.”
Tukes is no stranger to leadership. He currently serves as the opinion edi-tor for Pulse magazine and as secretary
of the NU chapter of the National Asso-ciation of Black Journalists, in addition to performing in several bands.
0e dual degree student said he plays too many percussion instruments to name, as well as piano, guitar and bass, but said his favorite is the jazz vibraphone. For two years, he was ranked as the No. 1 jazz vibraphonist in Illinois while in high school.
Tukes has continued to be recog-nized for his vibraphone playing at NU. He said he was asked to join Juc E Frut a8er one of his friends in the band

2 Dominick’s locations to close by end of year
The Dominick’s grocery stores in Evanston will close by the end of the year, the city said Wednesday night.
The two locations, !"!# Dempster St. and $%&' Green Bay Road, will shut their doors Dec. $', about two and a half months after parent company Safeway announced it will exit the Chicago market by early next year. The Domin-ick’s owner said the move will affect %$ stores in the Chicago area.
The Safeway announcement almost imme-diately set off speculation about what would replace the Evanston stores. At the time, city manager Wally Bobkiewicz said there “should be lots of interest” in the sites.
“If there is a buyer for either we should know around Thanksgiving,” the city tweeted in response to a question at Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl’s town hall meeting.
Earlier this month, Tisdahl said she wants to make sure another grocery store replaces at least the Dominick’s location on Dempster Street.
“Some folk in the neighborhood really want a grocery store there because they rely on it, and it is definitely for some people the clos-est accessible grocery store,” she told Evanston
journalists in an interview on ECTV’s “The Reporters.”

More women than men now run 10Ks, study shows
Women now outnumber men in !"-ki-lometer races, according to a new North-western Medicine study.
The study, published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, was based on data from more than #"",""" run-ners who ran in !"K races between $""$ and $"!!.
Researchers also found that more run-ners are completing the races in under an hour, although a greater percentage are completing them in more than an hour.
Dr. Dan Cushman, the study’s lead author, said despite the times creeping upward, greater participation is a boon for overall health.
“It seems that as these large races have more people participating, we have slower runners, but I see that as a positive thing,” said Cushman, a Feinberg professor, in a news release.
Cushman added that more and more, runners of !"Ks are new to the sport.
“It’s not just elite runners or former high
school athletes running today’s !"km races, there are more everyday people running this distance,” Cushman said. “One of the best things we can do to improve our health is exercise and taking on a !"km race is a great goal.”

Latest from the LabsNU team increases animal brain cancer survival rates
A team of researchers from Northwest-ern has demonstrated delivery of a drug that turns o% a critical gene in glioblastoma multiforme, the incurable brain cancer that killed Sen. Edward Kennedy.
&e survival rate among mice increased by nearly $" percent compared to the con-trol group, and tumor size dropped by '""-#"" percent. GBM kills approximately !',""" Americans a year. &e researchers’ (ndings were published Wednesday in Sci-ence Translation Medicine.
“&is is a beautiful marriage of a new technology with the genes of a terrible dis-ease,” said Chemistry Prof. Chad Mirkin, a senior co-author of the study, in a news release. “Using highly adaptable spheri-cal nucleic acids, we speci(cally targeted a gene associated with GBM and turned it o% in vivo. &is proof-of-concept further establishes a broad platform for treating a wide range of diseases, from lung and colon cancers to rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis.”
Mirkin, an expert in nanomedicine, was recently named one of $) researchers deemed to be “of Nobel class” by &omson Reuters.
“&e problems posed by glioblastoma and many other diseases are simply too big for one research group to handle,” Mirkin said. “&is work highlights the power of scientists and engineers from di%erent (elds coming together to address a di*cult medi-cal issue.”

New research shows poverty may impact brain processing
A child’s mother’s education background may be linked to poor processing of auditory informa-tion in the adolescent brain, according to new Northwestern research.
&e study was published Wednesday in the
Journal of Neuroscience. It follows a !++, study which revealed that children from wealthy fami-lies are exposed to '" million more words than children whose families are on welfare.
“&ese adolescents had noisier neural activity than their classmates, even when no sound was presented,” said neurobiology and physiology Prof. Nina Kraus, the corresponding author of the study, in a news release. “&ink about the neural noise like static in a radio — with the announcer’s voice coming in faintly.”
&e study was conducted on Chicago Public School students, mostly ninth graders.“By study-ing socioeconomic status within a neuroscienti(c framework, we have the potential to expand our understanding of the biological signatures of poverty,” Kraus said. “And a better understand-ing of how experiences shape the brain could inform educational e%orts aimed at closing the socioeconomic achievement gap.”

Study examines brain reactivity to auditory-visual stimulation
Two pieces of art created $"" years apart were the key to Northwestern researchers gaining a bet-ter understanding of how the human brain reacts to complex auditory-visual stimuli.
Researchers tracked parts of the brain’s auditory system while Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” was synchronized with an iTunes visualizer.
Julia Mossbridge, the lead study author, said related research focuses on less complicated stimuli.
“&ese kinds of things are closer to what the brain actually has to manage to process in every moment of the day,” said Mossbridge, a research associate in psychology, in a news release. “Further, it’s important to determine how and when sensory systems choose to combine stimuli across their boundaries.”
&e study, “Seeing the song: Le- auditory struc-tures may track auditory-visual dynamic alignment,” was published Oct. $' in PLOS ONE.
“It appears that the brain is exploiting the le- audi-tory cortex’s gi- at processing auditory timing, and is using similar mechanisms to encode auditory-visual synchrony, but only in certain situations; seemingly only when combining the sounds and images is appropriate,” Mossbridge said.

End of Conde Nast’s unpaid internships undue
Growing up, Vanity Fair was always a !xture on my co"ee table. I knew that September would bring the “Best Dressed” spread, and that the renowned “Hollywood” one would follow in March. #is summer, I was fortunate enough to participate in what will now be known as Conde Nast’s !nal year of its internship program. I was not paid. In fact, it is more likely that I lost money, spending it on kale salads and sandwiches on artisan breads in Conde Nast’s famous cafeteria. But what I earned at Conde Nast far exceeds the value of any unlimited MetroCard, living stipend or hourly wage they could have given me.
I recognize the unpaid scenario. It is not always possible to spend a summer covering living and transportation expenses without pay. My situation would certainly have been more complicated if I didn’t live just a few miles uptown from the Van-ity Fair o$ces. But in an industry where so much value is placed on experience, it is unfortunate that
any internships, paid or unpaid, are being discon-tinued. #is eliminates a number of journalism residencies for students interested in learning about news or magazine journalism — particu-larly Medill students. Yet the opportunity is still extremely rewarding, even for students looking to enter !elds other than journalism.
Sure, I got my fair share of co"ees and spent a good chunk of time underground, in the subway on various errands, among other intern rites of passage. By the same token, I sat in on a meet-ing with Reinaldo Herrera and Amy Fine Collins debating candidates to be featured in the Septem-ber issue. I had an opportunity to stand in on an Annie Leibovitz shoot at her studio on Greenwich Street. I compared the %&'% “New Establishment” to an advance copy of the %&'( piece, scanning the short bios for repetition, and several of them were rewritten at my suggestion.
#ere is no other way to describe this than plain awesome. When would I ever have the chance to do any of those things, if not at my internship? #e simple answer is never. I am not a journalism student. I am a medical school hope-ful sophomore at Northwestern with a passion for creative writing. #is summer was probably my only opportunity to do something like work at
Conde Nast. As Vanity Fair’s !rst pre-med intern, my colleagues were interested to hear me explain why I thought my penchants for biology and writing were complementary rather than con)ict-ing. I study organic chemistry alongside poetry, and I love it. I believed my internship to be just as relevant and worthwhile for the career I intend to pursue, which is supported by the advent of increasingly popular programs like Columbia’s “Narrative Medicine” that emphasize the blend of medicine with humanities to create more well-rounded health professionals.
My experience was overwhelmingly positive. I did not meet anyone who was not nice and extremely willing to answer all of my (numerous) questions. I noticed that even though I was giv-ing of my time to Vanity Fair, the people I worked with were far more giving of their time to me. #is goes for publishing interns in general — regard-less of how mundane the work may seem, you are learning invaluable interview tips and listening to con!dential recordings from the people whose positions you aspire to, and should feel lucky that they are giving the assignments to you. So you can chalk up face time with editors, writers, research-ers and stylists, who are now your personal con-tacts, to whatever the hourly wage comes out to
be, based on your small stipend, or you can accept the experience at its face value: priceless.
I learned how to fact check, do original photo research, and navigate the annals of Conde Nast’s archive because people were generous enough to take the time to teach me and show me. Many of the Vanity Fair assistants were once interns and were hired as a result of promising work during their internships, and it is unfortunate that such a career-de!ning launching point will no longer exist a*er this year. Still more regrettable is the fact that these internships are not being replaced with paid positions, meaning that many valuable opportunities for on the job experience are simply being taken o" the market. My Vanity Fair mentor herself is an NU graduate, who spent time intern-ing at another Conde Nast brand during her col-lege years. I loved my internship, unpaid as it was, and I am sad for everyone who will not have the same opportunity I was lucky enough to have.

In this era of anonymous online comment wars and Rush Limbaugh-esque talk radio, civil discourse appears to have gone the way of powdered wigs. A rare holdout seems to be academia. Universities, conventional wisdom dictates, have a history and an intellectual presence that can carry on the noble tradi-tion of vigorous, respectful debate. An inci-dent at Brown University earlier this week, however, called that notion into question.
On Tuesday, students and members of the surrounding community heckled New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly off the stage at Brown, where he was to give a lec-ture. Kelly oversaw the escalation of the city’s highly controversial “stop-and-frisk” strategy, which the Federal District Court for Manhat-tan recently ruled unconstitutional for its targeting of black and Latino men. Under his direction, NYPD also collected intelligence on New York’s Muslim community in an attempt to prevent terrorism — a program that failed to produce any leads.
The people who participated in the protest
had entirely valid concerns about the racial stereotyping woven into the fabric of the programs. I am not here to debate that. The merit of a strategy consisting in large part of
the disproportionate detainment of young men of color should, of course, come under vigorous scrutiny. In the same vein, conducting surveil-lance on people solely on the basis of their religion is unaccept-able. Questioning these policies is not just reasonable — it is necessary.
The protesters’ methods, however, left much to be desired. Perhaps the least effective way to
get someone to agree with you is to shout insults at them, yet that is exactly the tactic that they chose to follow. The Brown Daily Herald reported, for example, that one audi-ence member yelled at Kelly, “You are the terrorist, terrorizing our people.” Much as one may dislike the man or his policies, one thing he certainly is not is a terrorist. To call
him one is an insult not only to Kelly but also to his city, which suffered a massive attack by bona fide terrorists not so long ago.
One can safely assume the students involved in the protest are intelligent — Brown, with an acceptance rate of just +.', percent in %&'(, is one of the most selective in the country — yet they acted with baf-fling foolishness. Surely students who man-aged to meet the university’s notoriously tough admission standards would have been capable of coming up with thoughtful, criti-cal questions for Kelly, which they could have asked during the hour allotted for that purpose.
As University President Christina Paxson pointed out in a letter to the community, other students attending the event had likely chosen that more reasonable course of action and were prevented by their louder-mouthed peers from having their questions answered.
The protest is especially objectionable because it took place at an academic insti-tution, and a well-respected one, at that. Universities have historically been centers of discourse and debate; they are places where the merits and flaws of ideas may be freely discussed. When a belligerent minor-ity prevents that discussion from taking place, they are flying in the face of that tra-dition. It seems likely that if conservative
protesters had shown equivalent disrespect to a speaker arguing against stop-and-frisk, those students involved in this incident would have been incensed. They should have shown the same respect to Kelly that they would demand from their conservative counterparts.
The incident at Brown is only one example of a trend away from civil discourse and toward its %'st-century equivalent: assuming that whoever yells the loudest wins the argu-ment. Debate is important to the health of any society; it can be spirited or even heated and still maintain a respectful tone. Increas-ingly, though, it seems we are incapable of responding to opinions different from our own without devolving into blanket state-ments and ad hominem attacks. Any conver-sation that involves one party calling another a terrorist is bound to go nowhere.
If the protesters’ goal was to make a splash in the media, congratulations are due to them on a job well done. If, however, they wanted to make an impact on the beliefs of others in the audience or even on Kelly him-self, they chose precisely the wrong strategy.

TIC musical confronts bullying, bystandersBy SCOTT BROWN!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+)
Audiences will have a chance to explore the dam-aging and complex world of bullying through the eyes of elementary school students as “.e Hundred Dresses” premieres Friday at NU’s .eatre and Inter-pretation Center.
“.e Hundred Dresses” is based on a /011 New-bery Honor-winning book by Eleanor Estes. .e musical, which focuses on Wanda Petronski, a young Polish girl at a new school in America, is the 2rst in the 34/5-/1 Imagine U Family Series. Main character Maddie Reeves struggles with whether she should speak up when Petronski is continually teased by her classmates for wearing the same dress every day, hav-ing a funny accent and coming from a poor family.
“.is show is not about the one who bullies or the one who is bullied. It is about the girl in the middle who sees it all, initially gets caught up in it and then struggles with what to do or say,” director Rives Col-lins said.
Collins, the Northwestern theatre department’s specialist in .eatre and Drama for Youth, said there is a commitment on the part of the center to o6er theatre for children.
“I think that young people, speci2cally children, bring a particular joy and passion and energy into our building that is both really good for the college students, and in return the students can plant seeds of hope, passion and excitement,” he said.
.e show explores many facets of bullying, ranging from stereotypical lunch-money-stealing to the more psychological forms it can take.
“My character is bullied, and he’s very aware of the ‘classic’ type of bullying, but he realizes at the end that he’s being just as cruel to Wanda,” said Communica-tion freshman Ryan Martin, who plays a student in the class.
.e show also explores the reasons behind why bullies act the way they do.
“(My character) is very self-con2dent and thinks she’s the best, but she also has her own secrets and pain that she takes out on others,” Communication freshman Maggie Monahan said. “She’s not one-dimensional.”
Cast members have worked to 2nd the deeper complexities behind the young children they are play-ing, Collins said.
“Ten-year-olds are actually pretty sophisticated, and we are focusing on the emotional truth of the characters,” he said.
Despite the fact that the book was written in /011, Monahan said the show’s messages remain relevant.
“Bullying has changed with the Internet, but it still takes on that psychological nature,” she said. “Addi-tionally, in schoolyards across the country today, there are kids going through economic struggles at home and coming to America with the same hopes as Wanda.”
Communication freshman Daniel Leahy, who plays another student in the class, hopes children walk away with a message about what to do when they see bullying taking place.
“You should be brave enough to make the decision to help out,” he said. “Allowing something to happen that’s within your control is just as bad as doing the bullying yourself.”
.e curtain will rise Friday on “.e Hundred Dresses,” with its run lasting through Nov. /4 at the Hal and Martha Hyer Wallis .eater.

New documentary tells Prentice taleBy PATRICK SVITEK!"#$% &'(#)* &+",,'* @PatrickSvitek
When Nathan Eddy (Medill ‘-.) started work-ing on a short documentary about the old Pren-tice Women’s Hospital more than a year ago, he knew he was not dealing with the most attractive subject.
“It’s not a beautiful building in the traditional de/nition of beauty,” he said.
But he also knew the hospital had a cherished place in the architectural history of Chicago. Designed by revered Chicago architect Bertrand Goldberg, the cloverleaf-shaped tower aimed to revolutionize maternity treatment when it opened in 0123.
Nearly four decades later, Northwestern is moving ahead with its controversial plan to demolish the building and replace it with a bio-medical research facility.
Eddy recruited three other NU graduates to chronicle the contentious lead-up to the demoli-tion, as well as Prentice’s own roots in Chicago’s architecture community. Titled “4e Absent Col-umn,” the eight-minute documentary features several interviews with Chicago preservationists, architecture critics and University spokesman Al Cubbage, who says NU has “agreed to disagree” with its opponents on the issue. 4e movie pre-miered this summer at the Durban International Film Festival in South Africa and since then has screened at the Architectuur Film Festival Rot-terdam in the Netherlands and the Architecture and Design Film Festival in New York.
On Wednesday a5ernoon, Eddy spoke with 4e Daily about his inspiration for the docu-mentary, the /lmmaking process and Prentice’s legacy.
On how Prentice !t into Chicago’s storied
history of architecture: “As somebody who spends a lot of time reading about Chicago archi-tecture and Chicago’s place in the history of the development of modern architecture, it was very important to me to get that across to people to say, ‘4is may not be a stunner in the typical way that we use that term, but it’s incredibly important and it’s an incredibly poignant example of how Chicago was really at the forefront of architec-ture, but of engineering and of how architecture can in6uence society for the better, which was something that Bertrand Goldberg was very interested in.’”
On the goal of the documentary: “I wanted to make a /lm where you could empathize with the building and you could humanize the building, which is something that’s di7cult to do, even for something like the Wrigley Building. To do that for Prentice, my God. ‘Here, go on a date with this building.’ Oof. 4at’s asking a lot from people.”
On working with Geo" Goldberg, Bertrand Golberg’s son: “He and I just poured over docu-ments, and I went through the Northwestern University library archives, going through every article that had been written about it … It was daunting. You could have made a 1--minute doc-umentary just on how this building was made, but the architect’s son said something that really stuck with me on our /rst meeting. ... He was telling me that his father would be much more interested in a /lm that explored what the built environment does for society than a very technical piece on, well, this is how they poured the concrete, here’s the computer program they use to design it.”
On asking Northwestern to participate in the documentary: “I told (Cubbage), ‘Look, we want to make a /lm about this process,’ and I’m not going to come in to this o7ce and put you in a corner and say, ‘Why are you tearing down this beautiful building?’ And he took me at my word and gave me the bene/t of the doubt.”
On what he learned about Prentice as he made the !lm: “If you really want to change somebody’s mind on this, it’s incredibly di7-cult. 4ose people do professionally what I just am trying to do for the /rst time, which is draw attention to our built environment and for the wider community … to take a closer look at what’s happening to their surroundings because it’s very easy to ignore that.”
Schapiro to headline 3-day urbanization conference
University President Morton Schapiro will join his counterparts from the University of Illi-nois and the University of Chicago for a three-day conference on the role of universities as more and more global citizens move to cities.
Each day of “Global Urban Challenges: The Role of Research Universities” will be hosted at one of the three colleges, beginning with North-western on Nov. 08. Schapiro, Illinois President Robert Easter and UChicago President Robert Zimmer “will discuss how university research can help meet the challenges that urbanization inevitably will bring.”
The three presidents will speak Nov. 01 in downtown Chicago.
NU-Q conference to explore uses of big data
Northwestern University in Qatar will host a conference Nov. 01 on how media organizations can better use large, complex data.
NU-Q Dean Everette Dennis said even though great strides have been made in gath-ering and interpreting big data, the conference will look forward, not back.
“Big data is the next frontier in analyzing the ways in which society shapes and consumes media,” Dennis said in a news release.
The conference will begin with a keynote delivered via live video stream from Ken-neth Neil Cukier, the data editor of The Economist.

heard him play at a jazz concert.Tukes now participates in several jazz groups and
with his own “hip-hop, rap, soul, jazz, everything band” Syndicate !!", which has played at venues on campus and around Evanston, including the downtown Evanston club #$ Live, !%!# Church St. Out of all his musical experiences at NU, he said performing at Dillo Day was one of the most exciting.
“It’s always really nice to perform for your peers, especially in a non-formal setting,” he said. “You really get a lot of energy from the audience, and then it mixes with your energy from just perform-ing. ... &at’s probably one of my fondest memories of freshman year, playing at Dillo Day.”
Tukes said he plays mostly jazz music, a genre he was drawn to because of its use of improvisation.
“Jazz to me is the most expressive type of music,” he said. “It allows you to compose instantaneously as like your base idea, but then you get to take that and rewrite the story.”
&e Chicago native said he chose NU because it has allowed him to study both jazz and journalism and because of the 'nancial aid the school was able to provide him. He is currently the only student at the school who studies both majors.
In the “short term,” Tukes says he wants to write for &e New York Times’ arts and culture section
and play for Jazz at Lincoln Center in the venue’s big band. Eventually, he hopes to own a “mass-media conglomerate.”
“It’s the same four or 've people of the same demographic that own all of the media in America,” he said. “&ere needs to be another voice. Hopefully I can be one of the many people that presents that other voice.”
A(er two failed attempts to 'll the position that remained vacant for almost 've months, ASG unanimously con'rmed Tukes to its top diversity position last week. His appointment was met with enthusiasm from senators and members of ASG’s executive board.
“I think he’s fantastic,” student life vice presi-dent Anna Kottenstette, a Communication senior and former Daily sta)er, told &e Daily last week. “&e way that he spoke and the way that he made everyone believe in what he was saying, we thought would be incredibly important for this position and really contagious on campus.”
Tukes said success in his new role will hinge on his ability to convince people to leave their comfort zones.
“Go to things you wouldn’t normally go to, meet people you think you wouldn’t normally meet, because that’s how inclusivity happens,” Tukes said. “&at’s the richness of diversity, and my goal is to help people understand that.”
Field Hockey
Seniors hope to lead Cats to final victoryBy MIKE MARUT*+, -./01 234*+5,6*,42 @mikeonthemic"7
Friday marks Northwestern’s (!8-8, 8-! Big Ten) final regular season game this year — and the last ever for the seniors.
Seniors Nikki Parsley and Tara Puffen-berger have brought this team to a whole new level of field hockey. Parsley stepped up this season as the goals leader, and Puffen-berger guided the team as the only returning All-American. Now both Parsley and Puffen-berger have reached the end of their regular season careers as they prepare to take on Ohio
State.“The biggest thing
going into Friday is just taking it like every other game,” Parsley said. “I think it’s a pretty big game because there is still a possibility we could be co-regular season champs if Penn State happens to lose to Michigan and we beat Ohio State, we would tie for the conference, so it’s a pretty big game.”
Puffenberger shared that sentiment.
“I don’t think we are going to treat it any differently,” Puffenberger said. “Hopefully this isn’t our last home game. If we do well in the Big Ten (Tournament) we could maybe, possibly, get a home seed for the first round of NCAA. I think that’s in the back of our heads … that that’s a chance for us, which is a huge honor and something that’s really exciting. Other than that, everything is the same, it’s just a game.”
Although Ohio State has yet to tack on a win in conference, it is still a good team. Ohio State went into overtime with both Michi-gan and Indiana and only lost by one goal to Michigan State. In the Wildcats’ matches against those teams, NU beat Michigan 8-!, Indiana #-%, and Michigan State #-!.
“It’s going to be a tough match,” coach Tracey Fuchs said. “Their record is deceiv-ing. They’re a very good team. They’ve played some tough matches and just haven’t come out on top.”
Last time out against the Buckeyes, the Cats fell 7-# in Columbus. That loss came during the conference opener last season. Now, the tables have turned and NU closes out the regular season with Ohio State and is coming off a big win against Michigan State.
As with any athletic contest, practice is a time for fixing and improving. Despite the Cats’ .$$$ winning percentage this year, they still have work to do before they reach perfection.
“There’s always something to fix,” Fuchs said. “We’re trying to get better at bringing the ball out of the defense. We’re trying to get better inside our attacking circle. Our corners are getting better but the better they are the more games you’re going to win.”
The seniors have led the team out of the shadows and into the light of victory over the past four years. Since #%!%, the team is 97-79. The four years previous to that, the team had a combined record of 7!-8$.
“This group has been amazing,” Fuchs said. “This year and last year combined is my first class. They’ve been through it all and changed our program. We are now consistently one of the top ten or fifteen teams in the country and top two or three in the Big Ten. It takes time to change that culture, and this group was instrumental in changing our program and putting us back on the map.”

ON DECK ON THE RECORD
NU tries to stretch homestand hot streakBy BOBBY PILLOTE!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+) @bobbypillote
Northwestern will attempt to even its conference record Sunday at Lakeside Field.
.e No. /0 Wildcats (1-2-3, 4-/-4 Big Ten) defeated Loyola Chicago (2-45-/) in commanding fashion Wednesday, scoring 2 goals in the 6rst /5 minutes en route to a 2-4 victory. NU will try to hold on to that momentum as it faces No. /3 Wisconsin (44-3-/, /-/-5), a squad that has won six of its last eight matches.
Last season, the Cats and Badgers fought each other to a scoreless draw.
A big day on o7ense against Loyola was key for an NU team that has strug-gled to score throughout October. .e Cats had three ties, two of which were scoreless, and lost another three games in overtime. .eir only win during the month was a 4-5 victory over Northern Illinois on Oct. 1. Sophomore forward Joey Calistri, the Big Ten’s leading scorer with 4/ goals this season, had two tallies in the Oct. / game versus Bradley but did not 6nd the back of the net again until Oct. /8 against Penn State, a 6ve-game drought.
NU has been most consistent this fall on defense. .anks largely in part to standout junior goalkeeper Tyler Miller, seven of the Cats’ nine victories have been shutouts. Even with Miller absent due to illness, the NU back end hasn’t missed a beat. Sophomore backup Zak Allen has started the past three matches, making six saves and earning his 6rst career shutout but only allowing three goals. .e previous game against Loyola was Allen’s 6rst career start in front of a home crowd.
“It was a great experience,” Allen said. “It was pretty tough (making my 6rst
start on the road), especially in a Big Ten game, but thankfully I had the con-6dence of my team and the con6dence of my coach to back me up.”
Led by a dynamic scoring duo, the Wisconsin o7ense will be di9cult to contain. Mid6elder Nick Janus has been a stalwart for the Badgers, starting every game this season and scoring 8 goals and recording two assists. His mid6eld partner, Jacob Brindle, is a dangerous scoring threat o7 the bench. Despite starting only three games, Brindle leads the team this fall with : goals.
“.ey are a very mature team with lots of seniors,” coach Tim Lenahan said. “.ey’ve been close to breaking through and being a really good team the last three years, and this year they’ve done that. It’s a veteran group that’s played a lot of games over the years, and that’s certainly going to be a big challenge for us.”
Although the Badgers’ attack may be a paragon of teamwork, the goalkeeping for the squad certainly isn’t. .ree of the four goalies on Wisconsin’s roster have spent time between the posts this season. In contrast, Miller had played every minute in goal for the Cats until falling ill. .e leader of the Badgers pack is netminder Casey Beyers, a freshman who is allowing almost a goal and a half per game. Inconsistency in the Wiscon-sin defense is something NU will look to take advantage of.
.e Cats are only 2-3-4 on their home turf and will seek an important conference victory in their penultimate game before they head into postseason play.
“It was good to bounce back and score four goals in a game,” Lenahan said. “You hope that momentum carries
forward in some way.”
Cats look to !nish season on high noteBy ALEX LEDERMAN !"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+)
A;er a disappointing season, North-western limps to the 6nish line this week-end as the Wildcats head to Madison to take on the Badgers.
“.ey’re still hungry to win,” coach Michael Moynihan said of his players. “We can’t get into the Big Ten tourna-ment, but I think they’re still hungry to maybe in<uence the Big Ten standings a little bit, get a win and send the seniors out on a good note.”
Wisconsin (1-=-/, 2-0-4 Big Ten) cur-rently ranks eighth in the Big Ten, and a Wildcat upset could prevent the Badgers from making the Big Ten tournament, for which only the top eight teams in the conference qualify. NU knows it can still make a di7erence.
“I think we saw we were really really close in so many games,” junior forward Katie Landgrebe said. “We’re not out of anything, and just that extra little bit wasn’t there, so I just go away saying I want to do every little thing I can to get that last little bit.”
Landgrebe is ready to take on more of a leadership role next year in her senior season. She is willing to do anything she
can to help the team win and looks for-ward to more success.
Freshman forward Addie Steiner also sees a brighter future for the Cats.
“I feel like we’ll do a lot better next season, especially with the girls coming in,” she said.
Although strong players are coming in, great players are also on their way out. Senior forward Kate Allen has cemented her place in the NU record books. She ranks third all-time in career goals and points and tied for tenth in assists. Allen was also recognized as a /543-42 Capital One Academic All-District honoree by the College Sports Information Direc-tors of America on .ursday for her performance both on the 6eld and in the classroom.
.e returning players realize the shoes they have to 6ll.
“.ese seniors have meant a lot to me,” Landgrebe said.
Steiner agrees.“I hope that they can look back at
Northwestern and see improvement in the women’s soccer program,” she added.
Regardless of the outcome of this week-end’s game, Moynihan remains proud of what this team has accomplished.
“Last year we had some issues with
playing for the team versus being inter-ested in our own personal situation,” he said. “I think this year they did a fantastic job of really embracing more of a team concept and really getting behind each other. To keep coming back game a;er game with a spirit to win and get back on track says volumes about these kids.”
He said the Cats have come incredibly close in many of its losses and has been
unusually unlucky. Had a few minor things gone their way, this could have been a very di7erent season, Moynihan said.
Moynihan also looks forward to next season, knowing the best is yet to come for his squad. He credits this year’s seniors with playing a critical role in the team’s
Cats pry open 2nd go-roundBy DAVID LEE!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+)
Northwestern will try to rebound from Sunday’s loss against Minne-sota as the team hits the road to face Iowa (45-4/, 4-1 Big Ten) and No. 45 Nebraska (4=-2, 1-/) on back-to-back nights Friday and Saturday.
.e Wildcats go into Iowa City as heavy favorites against the Hawkeyes. Iowa has sputtered to a measly 4-1 record within the conference, with its sole win a 0-set victory over Illinois. .e Cornhuskers look to be, by far, the tougher challenge this weekend. It would be di9cult to tell, however, by talking to the Cats. .ey are locked-in and focused on Iowa.
Redshirt sophomore Caroline Nie-dospial voiced the general sentiment of the team.
“I de6nitely think that we have to take it one match at a time. Right now it’s all about Iowa,” Niedospial said. “We’re not even thinking about Nebraska right now. We need to get that win 6rst, and then, a;er we get the win against Iowa, we can focus on Nebraska.”
NU also beat Iowa in straight sets when the Hawkeyes came to Evanston on September /:. Freshman outside hitter Kayla Morin had one of the best games of her career, nabbing 4= kills with a .34= hitting percentage in the rout.
Nebraska gave NU a much bigger challenge last time they played. .e Cats lost to the Cornhuskers on Sep-tember /8 in four sets (/0-4=, /5-/0, /0-/4, /0-/5). Nebraska outside hitter Kelsey Robinson, an Illinois native, led all attackers with /0 kills while hitting an outrageous .23:.
Robinson also led her team with 4/ digs.
Coach Keylor Chan said he believes the NU team headed to Nebraska is not the same one that lost in September.
“I think we’ve gotten a lot better,” Chan said. “We’ve really worked on some things and gained some cohe-siveness and some chemistry and really gotten a grip on the kind of volleyball that we want to play.”
.e key to an upset victory likely lies with the Cats’ ability to start o7 strong, something they’ve been strug-gling to do as of late. NU lost the 6rst two sets to Illinois before rallying for a victory and then was unable to over-come the /-5 de6cit against Minnesota on Sunday. Freshman setter Caleigh Ryan said she knows that the team can do better.
“For a couple practices we’ve been diving right into =-on-= action, so that’s really going to help us start o7 strong for the 6rst couple games,” Ryan said. “Also I think as a team we were all kind of slow, so we really focused on com-ing out strong and playing hard on the 6rst point.”

It’s been a spooky past two weeks for the Northwestern defense.
- e unit has allowed only three o. ensive touchdowns in two games against Minnesota and Iowa — but only has two losses to show for its e. orts.
Coach Pat Fitzgerald has been singing the praises of the defense for most of the season and especially during October, a month that has haunted the Wildcats in past years. But NU has only been able to force one turnover in the previous two games, an alarming number con-sidering the group forced /0 interceptions and three fumbles in its 1 rst six games.
Safety Traveon Henry said defensive coor-dinator Mike Hankwitz has been preaching turnovers this week in practice leading up to their game with Nebraska.
“Our coach has been on us,” Henry said. “We set a goal every practice. We need this many turn-overs, this many picks, this many strips. - at’s what we really want to get accomplished.”
- e o. ense hasn’t helped the defense much as of late by putting together long, sustained drives and points on the board. Since its 02-point out-burst against Ohio State, NU has scored only 00 points in its past three games. In the four games they’ve won, the Cats scored 3 defen-sive touchdowns o. of interceptions. When the defense couldn’t run it back into the end zone, NU’s o. ense used to be one of the better teams at turning turnovers into points.
Henry said the defense hopes to be the force that gets a once powerful NU o. ense rolling again.
“It de1 nitely helps to put points on the board,” he said. “If we get the ball back, it gives them a little spark. If we can get them the ball in good 1 eld position, we can set them up to be successful.”
Tackling has become an issue for the Cats during conference play, especially with big-ger running backs. It started with Ohio State’s
Carlos Hyde and reared its ugly head last week with Iowa’s Mark Weisman.
Even though defenders can’t tackle players to the ground in practice, Henry said as long as the defense is sound at the point of attack, the unit will be okay.
“We all want to make those big plays and big tackles,” Henry said. “We have a few periods in practice where we work on tackling. When it comes to Saturday, we will be ready to make those plays.”
- e Cats will have their hands full with Nebraska running back Ameer Abdullah, who is seventh in the nation in rushing yards. Senior linebacker Damien Proby said he’s a major part of the Cornhuskers’ versatile o. ense.
“He’s a very talented player,” Proby said. “As a defense, we like to have an opportunity to shut down an opposing running back if possible. We are really going to go out there and look to compete against him and that o. ensive line.”
Nebraska’s quarterback situation has been somewhat of a circus of late. Taylor Martinez began the year as the Cornhuskers’ starter but injuries have sidelined the senior as of late, giv-ing way to Tommy Armstrong Jr. and then Ron Kellogg III.
Henry said he believes the team will have to prepare for the unknown and study more 1 lm. But regardless, Fitzgerald said the Cats will be ready for whoever Nebraska decides to throw out there.
“- ere’s a lot of similarities with what they are doing schematically,” he said. “Taylor’s suc-cess speaks for itself. I’ve been very impressed by what he’s done throughout his career. If he can’t go, those other young men have stepped up pretty well early. - ey’ve 1 lled in admirably.”
One scenario that could help the Cats get o. on the right foot would be an early turnover by the defense. Henry said that will be a focus once the team hits the 1 eld in Lincoln.
“Once you take the air out of the stadium, you get momentum going your way,” he said. “- at’s huge. It’s something we all really strive for.”
BACK AGAINST THE WALL Redshirt freshman Dwight White lines up in coverage. White was replaced in the starting lineup by true freshman Matt Harris but fi gures to see time in the secondary the rest of the season.

Why does Northwestern’s most maligned player keep smiling?
Dwight White, bag of ice in hand and two bananas in pocket, must have better things to do than stand in the cold outdoor air and chat about his tumultuous 42/0 season and diminished place on the depth chart. But the redshirt freshman con-verses cheerily, if not thrilled to be interviewed, then at least willing.
He wouldn’t be faulted for some grouchiness. White’s career certainly hasn’t started as he would have dreamed. Entering the season, the cornerback operated under the assumption he’d be used pri-marily as a special teamer, playing defense only in occasional nickel and dime packages.
- en came the Wildcats’ opener against Cali-fornia and a dramatic change of fate. Starting cor-nerback Daniel Jones injured his knee late in the 1 rst half, and White entered to replace him. Two days later coach Pat Fitzgerald announced Jones was done for the season, and with one game of collegiate experience, White was a starter.
With sturdy sophomore Nick VanHoose as NU’s starter on the other side, opposing quarterbacks picked on White relentlessly, and the redshirt fresh-man ceded big play a5 er big play. He was beat for a 64-yard touchdown against Cal, a 76-yard score against Western Michigan and a 68-yard bomb against Maine, to name the most noteworthy slip-ups.
“As a young guy I went through some things that young guys do go through sometimes,” White said this week. “I was tested, had some challenges, but for the most part I thought I was handling myself well.”
Eventually, competition heated up, and freshman Matthew Harris began to steal playing time from White. When White allowed yet another big-play touchdown to Minnesota, he was replaced by Harris, who started a week later and tops him on the depth chart entering Saturday’s game at Nebraska.
- roughout the di9 culties, White was cursed by fans and called out by media members, who cheered when he was 1 nally usurped.
- ere hasn’t been much to celebrate for the young corner, but losing the starting job hasn’t killed his spirits.
“Of course it’s unfortunate,” he said. “But I’m still going to work hard. I’m still going to do what I have
to do, make sure I’m supporting my teammates.”- ough his answer seems to echo what most
players in his position would say, White’s demeanor suggests he means it — and so do testimonials from those around him, who report he hasn’t gotten down on himself.
“He’s been all right,” sophomore safety Traveon Henry said. “He understands what’s going on. He’s been working. He’s doing what he can. Unfortunately the situation didn’t go his way, but he’s still keeping his head on straight.”
Likewise, Fitzgerald said he’s not worried about White’s psyche. It’s all part of the gig, a healthy com-petition that comes with being part of a team.
“I don’t see any wavering in Dwight’s con1 dence,” the coach said. “If you’re not ready to compete, you shouldn’t be here. - ose other two guys right now are our starters for a reason. - ey’ve won the competition.”
It would be understandable if White resented his adversary. Harris is a year younger, playing for a coach who typically employs true freshmen only in case of emergency. Now, Harris is not only start-ing over White but also being touted as a future star by the same observers who viewed White as a disappointment.
But White has been a gracious loser, saying all the right things about his attitude toward Harris. Harris and White describe themselves as friends, with White calling his teammate “a real cool dude.” Meanwhile, Harris gives his elder a ringing endorsement.
“He’s been a great teammate to me throughout this process,” Harris said. “He’s been kind of an inspiration for me because he really helps me out on the 1 eld and o. the 1 eld right when I stepped in the door.”
It’s fortunate that White is good-natured about his current situation and the competition with Harris because it won’t be settled anytime soon.
VanHoose has two more years of eligibility a5 er this one and won’t lose his starting spot without injury. Jones, who beat out White for the starting spot in the fall, will be back next year to give his junior year another go.
White vs. Harris could be NU’s most engaging position battle for a long time. And White seems resigned to, even inviting of that reality.
“Hopefully we’re both pushing each other, mak-ing each other better,” White said. “We’re going to be in competition probably for the next four years. - at’s just the way it’s gonna be.”
