Third DownO!cial resigns from township
By PATRICK SVITEK!"#$% &'(#)* &+",,'* @PatrickSvitek
Evanston Township supervisor Gary Gaspard resigned -ursday a.er less than /ve months on the job, further emptying an o0ce whose fate remains more unclear than ever.
Gaspard announced his decision in a letter to Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl and city clerk Rodney Greene.
“The job of Township Supervisor requires more time than I anticipated,” Gaspard wrote. “Because of the time com-mitments, I regret to tell you that I can no longer serve.”
His resignation was e1ective Friday, and the township board is scheduled to discuss the appointment of the next super-visor Monday night. -e council mem-bers also serve as trustees of the township, which has the same boundaries as the city but functions as a separate entity.
Gaspard declined to comment fur-ther Friday, telling -e Daily he was still
preparing a statement for reporters.In the April election, Gaspard beat
Keith Banks, executive director of the Evanston Community Development Association, for the part-time position. Tisdahl, Ald. Coleen Burrus (2th) and Ald. Ann Rainey (3th) endorsed Gaspard, whose campaign partly focused on saving taxpayers’ dollars.
Despite that goal, Gaspard was widely criticized when he presented his /rst township budget proposal to the Human Services Committee in August. The plan called for a 42 percent increase in spending.
-e committee refused to recommend the budget to the council, calling it unre-alistic and urging Gaspard to start over from scratch.
“-e budget that was presented to us was completely out of line,” Burrus told Gaspard at the time. “We have a /scal problem in this community, and to pres-ent a budget like this — I think it’s insult-ing to the township trustees.”
Art Institute admission now free for NU studentsBy JOSEPH DIEBOLD!"#$% &'(#)* &+",,'* @josephdiebold
Entry to the nation’s second-larg-est art museum got a little cheaper for Northwestern undergraduate students this year, thanks to a gift from one of the University’s most generous donors.
Admission to the Art Institute of Chicago is now free for undergradu-ate students with a WildCARD. The gift was paid for by an undisclosed donation from Shirley Welsh Ryan (Weinberg ‘56), the wife of Chicago businessman Pat Ryan (Kellogg ‘72) and a member of the museum’s board of trustees. Previously, students had to pay the 869 discounted admission rate for Illinois student-residents.
Admission to special exhibitions, lectures and other museum events is
included in the initiative. Lindsey Pfleger, a graduate assistant with the Center for Student Involvement, said the provost’s office approached CSI after hearing that Welsh Ryan was interested in funding the initia-tive. The collaboration will include quarterly “university nights” at the museum, which will be run by CSI.
Pfleger said the new perk fits in with broader University efforts to unite NU students with the city. CSI is also working on offering dis-counted tickets for students to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Lyric Opera, with Pfleger calling the combined efforts “hopefully a new arts initiative” for the center.
“It’s another of the initiatives to really connect Northwestern and downtown Chicago,” she said.
Pfleger said because many stu-dents choose NU for its access to a major city, CSI works to open up
opportunities to access all Chicago has to offer.
“We have access to this great city and that’s why the students come to Northwestern sometimes over Cor-nell or another option, because they do have such (a) great metropolitan area to explore,” she said.
TripAdvisor readers voted the Art Institute the best museum in the country and the third best in the world. The museum is topped in size nationally only by New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The Ryans are among NU’s most prolific donors, providing the name-sake for Ryan Field, Welsh-Ryan Arena and Ryan Fieldhouse, cur-rently under construction. They have also contributed to the construction of NU’s Nanotechnology Center and the Feinberg School of Medicine. Pat

Students will soon have a chance to get a taste of the home-cooked food they’ve been missing on campus.
Associated Student Government is launching a new program that invites Northwestern students to have dinner in the homes of Evanston residents. -e program, ‘Cats Come to Dinner, will host its /rst event Oct. 4< from 5-<:=> p.m. -e dinners will be held quarterly, and interested students can sign up
through the event’s Facebook page.ASG community relations vice
president Kevin Harris played an instrumental role in the formation of ‘Cats Come to Dinner. -e Weinberg sophomore became involved with the organization as a freshman, saying he believes the program will be bene/cial not only to students, but also to Evan-ston residents.
“‘Cats Come to Dinner was created to bring Northwestern students and Evanston families together over dinner,” Harris said. “-e program is attractive to students because they get a free meal, and hopefully they’ll be encouraged to
come back a second time.”Harris said the program’s main
purpose is to create a lasting relation-ship between students and residents. He said it’s a given that incidents will occur o1 campus that may strain town-gown relations, but it helps if students have developed rapport with their neighbors.
A program similar to ‘Cats Come to Dinner, called “Evanston Evenings,” was held two years ago by PeaceAble Cities, an Evanston nonpro/t. Inspired by the previous program, Harris and other members of ASG discussed it over the summer and began recruiting
Evanston families at the beginning of this academic year. -ey also set up a booth at Evanston Township High School’s parent-teacher conferences and told interested families about the event.
“Hopefully this new program will be a way for NU students and Evanston residents to start a dialogue and get to know each other,” Harris said.
SESP sophomore Chris Harlow, one of the co-planners for ‘Cats Come to Dinner, said his position entails a vari-ety of duties, including marketing, on-campus publicity and the distribution of ?yers and other materials.
“I’m who’s responsible when the email blasts come firing,” Harlow said.
Weinberg freshman Sumeer Brar said he believes programs like ‘Cats Come to Dinner are bene/cial for town-gown relations.
“If you know someone well, you’re more likely to have a good relation-ship with them,” Brar said. “Obviously, Northwestern students want to make the school better, and I think that car-ries over to the town of Evanston as well.”

Police Blotter
Police discuss incidents in 9th WardBy JENNIFER BALL-./ 01234 567-.8/9-/75 @jennifercball
Evanston police on Friday night urged :th Ward residents to be vigilant in light of a spike in motor vehicle the)s and a shooting last month.
Chief of Police Richard Eddington began the meeting, held at Robert Crown Center, #,$# Main St., by explaining that residents should give their feedback.
“We need your eyes and ears and your par-ticipation,” Eddington said.
O;cer Enjoli Daley and O;cer Reginald Napier are both members of the Evanston Police Department’s Problem Solving Team, which focuses on community relations. (ey told the residents about new initiatives for reaching police and viewing crime data.
Daley, who represents the :th Ward on the team, said she has seen a “huge jump” in motor vehicle the)s since last year. From April "$#" to October "$#", the :th Ward had seven motor vehicle the)s. (at number increased to #* dur-ing the same period this year.
Daley also cited a shooting, which happened Sept. #* in the "$$$ block of Oakton Street, as another incident of concern. A !'-year-old
man was shot in the leg and taken to St. Francis Hospital in stable condition.
In addition to the shooting, both o;cers discussed burglaries in the :th Ward. Daley and Napier called burglary a crime of opportunity and told residents how to avoid it.
Some of these tips were stopping the mail and newspapers while on vacation, install-ing motion-sensor lights and request-ing a “special watch” before going out of town, where the beat o;cers will monitor a resident’s home while he or she is gone.
Napier, who rep-resents the "nd Ward on the team, also sug-gested residents install surveillance cameras at their homes and businesses.
(e o;cers urged residents to report suspi-cious activity such as someone walking down the street trying to open doors.
“If something is not right then call us,” Napier said. “Suspicious is something that does not look right to you.”
One new resource for Evanston police, Daley said, is an armored surveillance truck equipped with the latest in camera technology. However, residents also have to keep an eye out for poten-tial crime, the o;cers said.
“It comes down to knowing the neighbors and fellowshipping with the neighbors,” Napier said.
Dottie Coppock, a resident of the :th Ward, said she appreciates EPD’s e<orts to reach out to the community, especially a)er graduating from the Citizen Police Academy.
“It’s just wonderful to see how they are always trying to improve things,” Coppock told (e Daily a)er the meeting.
Residents may use Text-a-Tip to send text messages with anonymous tips, which go directly to the :## dispatch center. Napier told the group of residents that the program has been “particularly helpful” among teens.
People may also submit their tips online via Crime Reports, where they can enter their addresses and view incidents in their areas.
Napier told residents they can sign up to have the daily crime reports emailed to them every day.
(e daily reports can also be viewed on the city’s website.

then call us. Suspicious is
something that does not look

Medill prof evaluates !rst month of MOOC in Guardian op-ed
Medill Prof. Owen Youngman, one of several Northwestern professors teaching a massive open online course this quarter, addressed questions about the program in an op-ed pub-lished Thursday in the Guardian.
Youngman’s course, Understanding Media by Understanding Google, has about !",""" active members, though #$,""" people had initially enrolled. His piece, centered on his first month of teaching the class, discusses how institutions can adapt to the learning curves of students.
Youngman wrote that he finds the most fruit-ful conversations on the online class discussion forum, where he said he has engaged more than !$" times himself. He said he didn’t realize how
the geographic range of the students’ back-grounds — only !" percent of whom report living in the U.S. — would affect the discussion, as would their various education levels. The op-ed indicates %" percent of the students have four-year college degrees or better.
“There, in hundreds of asynchronous con-versations with peers in every time zone, thou-sands of learners are working out what they think about the intersection of the web with journalism and media, as they peer through the
lens provided by this one particular company,” Youngman wrote.
Youngman’s class is one of three MOOCs the University launched at the beginning of Fall Quarter. McCormick Prof. Todd Murphey is teaching Everything is the Same: Modeling Engineered Systems, and School of Law clinical professors Esther Barron and Steve Reed are instructing Law and the Entrepreneur.

Default rate on student loans increasing for New Mexico students
More New Mexico college graduates and dropouts are failing to repay their federal student loans, a trend that has prompted two local educational institutions to spend more hands-on time counseling students.
Statewide, colleges and universities have seen a steady increase in default rates for students who enrolled in fall !"&", according to U.S. Department of Education information.
All of New Mexico’s six main universi-ties, with the exception of New Mexico Tech, saw rates rise this year, following national patterns.
At Eastern New Mexico University, !&.& per-cent of students in the fall !"&" cohort weren’t repaying their loans, up from &%.& percent in the !""'. ENMU also saw an increase in its student population in that time frame, with &!,(!( in !""' and &!,')# in !"&".
Clovis Community College saw a smaller increase in default rates at !".# percent in !"&", up from &%.& in !""'. CCC’s student popula-tion also grew from $,%)) in !""' to ),#)( in !"&".
ENMU President Steven Gamble said as long as the economy stays in a downturn, default rates will remain higher than the school would
like to see.“I think it’s the students’ inability to get the
type of jobs that would provide them with the income to pay off the debts they owe,” he said.
April Chavez, director of financial aid at CCC, shared Gamble’s sentiment. She sees the weakened economy and students’ inability to find jobs after graduation as the main reasons for the trend.
Chavez said CCC has returned to face-to-face entrance counseling to help students better understand options available to them.
Likewise, Gamble said ENMU now holds mandatory counseling sessions for current stu-dents who take out loans to tell them about their obligation to pay them back and what happens if they don’t.
ENMU has also contracted with a com-pany that specializes in helping schools lower their loan default rate by working with stu-dents no longer at the school to offer services on debt consolidation and making minimum payments.
In addition, both schools delay distribution of loan money to students until *" days after the beginning of a semester.
“I think everybody is concerned with where the default rate is going nationwide,” Chavez said. “We’re keeping an eye on it and we have a default prevention team. It meets once a semes-ter to see what we can do to help students.”

FREEDOM FIGHTER A Northwestern School of Law clinic awarded its first-ever Global Jurist of the Year Award to Dikgang Moseneke on Wednesday. Moseneke, the deputy chief justice of the South African Constitutional Court, was chosen as the inaugural recipient of the Global Jurist of the Year Award from the Bluhm Legal Clinic’s Center for International Human Rights. Moseneke was imprisoned early in his life for anti-apartheid activity and later went on to become an attorney, focusing his practice on legal challenges to the policies and consequences of apartheid.

State of the Black Union intended to promote open dialogue
To the uncomfortable commentators,This is a letter in response to the com-
ments from the event article about the State of the Black Union. First, thank you for attending For Members Only’s event, State of the Black Union, with Nikki Giovanni. We are not here to devalue the fact you felt uncomfortable, but we will not apologize for our event being the catalyst of those feelings. When longstanding systems of privilege are confronted, those with privilege often feel uncomfortable. We encourage you to take those feelings and explore them and engage in a dialogue with either us or anyone else who could help you understand them. Talk to your peers of color and/or other minorities who feel uncomfortable at Northwestern. Join Sustained Dialogue, or even find a professor or administrator who can help you navigate a conversation about history, privilege, and/or social inequalities to better understand what Dr. Giovanni’s alleged “foul claims” may be rooted in. Most importantly, don’t devalue the experiences of those students for whom this is a very clear reality.
Nikki Giovanni spoke about our genera-tion having a penchant for Internet dialogue. If you’d like to have an in-person dialogue, we are more than willing. We must stress that “foul claims” against white Americans were not at all made at our event. When we discuss issues of white privilege and racism, we are discussing the entire system of white hegemonic institutions that our country was founded upon and continues to operate through. This occurs in such subtle ways that it often goes unnoticed. We are not talking about individual white people, nor was Nikki Giovanni. She criticized the government and encouraged black people to learn and understand their rich history. This history has been hidden from not only us, but also American history as well. For example, For Members Only being dismissed as a “black panther interest group” disrespects the legacy of our organization as a sociopolitical/cul-tural group. Giovanni’s speech did nothing but affirm that black people have a beautiful history, encourage us to explore the world, love and live.
We brought Nikki Giovanni because she is one of the most respected speakers and activ-ists of the century. Our goal was to inspire the black community and spark discussion among other groups. Hopefully we can take this discussion beyond the anonymity of online comments and work together for understanding across campus.
Signed,April McFadden, coordinator, and

Blomquist needs another renovation
Ever since I first stepped into the humid, un-air-conditioned structure that is Blomquist Recreation Center, I vowed to air my concerns to the appropriate university personnel. Time after time I have taken the Northwestern facilities surveys, suffering through questions about my gym usage in order to complain about Blomquist in the final open box. Well today is the day — I’m using my influence as a Daily columnist to air my grievances publicly.
The gym is actually a great option for South Campus and is convenient for my schedule when I need a quick workout. The student staff is very friendly and bears
with me when I ask for obscure chan-nel changes. The basketball courts are always buzzing with intramural sports, and I love hearing the dance music that pounds through the side gym.
According to NU’s fitness website, Blomquist was reno-vated “several years ago” (!", #"?) to the
tune of “a quarter of a million dollars” (a speck in Northwestern’s gigantic budget). This incredibly vague statement frustrates me because Blomquist deserves another renovation. The machines are old and run down or completely broken and need to be replaced. There is no air conditioning and it is disgustingly hot, even in the dead of winter. The toilet seats in the women’s rest-room are yellowing, and the showers don’t look much better.
I promise that all the changes I am asking for are reasonable. I don’t need Blomquist to become a palatial gym like Sports Pavil-ion and Aquatic Center on North Campus. If I want towel service, cardio and Zumba classes or gorgeous lakeside views from the track, then I will walk up to SPAC. In fact, I enjoy the down and dirty, gritty vibe of Blomquist. Its plain white walls and sweat-inducing temperatures beckon me to put forth my fullest effort in my workout. But when the only treadmill that is open has been broken for three weeks, I can’t
appreciate this “blue-collar” gym.NU’s administration has many incentives
to renovate Blomquist. The most obvious benefit is that it would be beneficial to students’ well-being. Fitness is proven to be a de-stress activity. Each time I step onto an elliptical during a busy week full of mid-terms, student activities and homework, I am instantly soothed by the rhythmic beat-ing of my heart. And with the University stressing efforts to promote mental health on campus, fitness should be one of the key means to that end.
Another reason is for the recruitment and retention of students. The first time I heard about Blomquist was during a Wildcat Days visit, when a student host referred to it as the “average Joe’s” gym on campus, a refer-ence from the popular movie “Dodgeball.” This offhand comment made my mother
and me question the overall state of NU’s facilities. After visiting another prestigious university the previous weekend with a spanking new gym and spotless dorms, NU’s disregard for its fitness facilities made us wonder if other parts of campus were also in need of repair.
I know that SPAC is and will continue to be the shining star of campus gyms. But we can’t allow half of the students on campus to be stuck with a subpar facility. If NU is serious about its commitment to student health and fitness, it will put forth the mini-mal resources needed to make Blomquist a functional gym.

MEREDITHGOODMANDAILY COLUMNIST @merbear_77
Cooking as a college student in many ways resembles college life in general. It’s an expe-rience of trial and error and discovery. It’s an experience of blankly looking around and making the most of what you’re given, even if it’s just a jar of peanut butter and stale cereal that you left at the back of the cabinet.
A few weeks ago, cooking showed me the importance of spontaneity. I was rushing to my noon class, and needed to make myself a quick brunch. I opened the fridge and grabbed what I could find for a sandwich. The results: turkey, ranch dressing, hum-mus, sharp cheddar cheese and some sliced tomatoes. I was a little unsure as I layered them on some bread. These were ingredients I would never dream of putting together, but in my frenzy to get to class, I decided to take a chance. The result was a new favorite sandwich.
Man, was I proud of myself. Throughout most of my life as a relatively well-behaved and introverted person, I have never been very good at taking chances or being spon-taneous. I have spent too many hours plan-ning what I would say to the pizza guy on the phone or crafting perfectly constructed emails to teachers explaining a future
absence. Although I’ve certainly become more outgoing over time, I know that I tend to overthink a situation until it becomes ridiculous, instead of just going ahead and pressing the “send” button.
But the sandwich scenario is a perfect example of why I think it’s important to occasionally be spontaneous. Looking back on my life, the decisions I’ve made that I am most proud of are the ones that required faith, when I dove in headfirst, unsure of what to expect, instead of taking the safe route and sticking to what I was used to doing.
For example, spontaneity is the reason I met someone who today I call a close friend. Last year, we were both part of a volunteer-ing opportunity at Evanston Public Library, a program that neither of us had participated in before. We both signed up on a whim. We had a great time, and when walking back to campus, I made the move of asking if she was hungry and wanted to get lunch. We spent an hour talking over deep dish pizza at Giordano’s, and we’ve remained friends since.
Another spontaneous move I’m particu-larly proud of is my decision to sign up as part of stage crew for the Dolphin Show last year as a freshman. I had never done stage crew for a musical production before. I got the spot by responding to a last-minute email that was sent out from a friend. As a result, I met great people and got to experi-ence firsthand the amount of effort that goes
into the largest student-run musical in the country. I’ve also remained good friends with the other members of the crew.
When I look back on these deci-sions, sometimes I wonder what would have happened if I had been too shy or wasn’t feeling “up to it” that day. What if I had just told myself I was too tired and went about my normal routine? It’s crazy to think about. Of course I’m glad I took the chance.
There are so many opportuni-ties waiting out there every day. Discovering these opportunities is a matter of break-ing the barrier of hesitation and going for it. Whether it’s talking to a new person, discovering a new culinary masterpiece or throwing in a last-minute application to be a columnist for The Daily, spontaneity, in the right doses, can open doors to fantastic new experiences.

Doctors spotlight health issues along racial linesBy JONATHAN LI!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+)
Medical experts on Saturday morning dis-cussed why the black community is more at risk for certain diseases but o.ered an optimistic outlook for the future.
About /0 people gathered at Second Baptist Church, 1212 Benson Ave., to hear the panel, titled “Racial Health Disparities.” Panelists spoke about why black people have a higher risk of developing can-cer, diabetes and cardio-vascular disease com-pared with other races. 3e panel included 4ve medical specialists from NorthShore University HealthSystem.
“3e issue of racial disparity is a serious one and in the case of African-Americans, they have the worst demographic when it comes to health dispari-
ties, cancer, cardiovascular disease and obesity,” said Dr. Rudy Lombard, a co-organizer of the event who is also the coordinator of community outreach for NorthShore. “We want people to
know that these diseases are modi4able in terms of the person’s own behavior or environment.”
Dr. Charles Brendler, director of the Compre-hensive Prostate Cancer Center at NorthShore,
said black men are the most at risk because they get treated later, have less access to care and have a much lower quality of care than white people do.
Men in general don’t want to talk about cancer and don’t want to get tested, he said. 3e result is that incidence of cancer and mortality in black men is twice as great as it is for white men.
He attributed this to di.erences across social, racial and gender lines, as well as more funding for screening trials for white men than those for black men.
Dr. Katharine Yao, director of the Breast Sur-gical Program at NorthShore, said the higher incidence of breast cancer in younger black women stems from a combination of health disparities and biological components. 3ere are also underlying socioeconomic consider-ations, Yao said.
“Poverty in5uences breast cancer progression through environmental and dietary factors,” she said.
All panelists emphasized the importance of healthy lifestyle choices and physical activity. 3ey agreed people can’t change their genetic makeup but can alter their environment.
During a Q-and-A session, Brendler answered a question about how to best reach out to the black community to raise awareness for health issues.
“When we do these symposiums, we need to have a room packed of people,” Brendler said. “And you need to spread the word to your fami-lies and friends. 3ings will change. We’re not going to do it overnight. But if we do it, then it’s going to be a partnership.”

Northwestern School of Law’s Bluhm Legal Clinic jumped into a hot political debate Friday over mandatory minimum sentencing for seri-ous gun crimes, releasing a memo on “evidence-based solutions.”
Stephanie Kollmann and Dominique Nong, both fellows in the clinic’s Children and Fam-ily Justice Center, authored the memo, which argues that mandatory minimum sentencing does not lead to reductions in gun violence.
“Although we are all deeply disturbed by gun violence — each death is another tragedy and a
call for action — our responses must be smart, strategic and grounded in evidence-based solu-tions,” the memo reads. “3e evidence indicates, repeatedly, that mandatory minimum sentences will not reduce gun violence. On the contrary, such restrictions are not only costly, but also counterproductive.”
3e study cites states such as Florida, Mas-sachusetts and Michigan, which have enacted mandatory sentencing laws, and alleges they have found them ine.ective at stopping crime. 3e study also attempts to push back against the “New York myth,” the notion that a 7002 manda-tory sentencing law enacted in New York City was a factor in the city’s recent drop in crime.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel backed mandatory minimums in February, proposing
legislation to increase minimum sentences for gun crimes and ensure that those convicted of such crimes serve at least 8/ percent of their sentences.
“Criminals continue to escape with minor sentences for possessing and using 4rearms, and these light penalties do not re5ect the sever-ity of their crimes nor the damage they cause our communities,” Emanuel said at the time. “Increasing these penalties and requiring mini-mum sentences will ensure criminals are held accountable and discourage criminals from car-rying and using guns.”
Although it is strong in its condemnation of mandatory minimum laws, the memo o.ers hope for confronting gun violence with other policy solutions, including problem-oriented
policing and prosecution and intervention programs.
“But there is good news: other approaches to reducing gun violence show great promise. Conducted outside of the criminal court pro-cess — in the real world, where e.ects are more concrete and immediate — these approaches have been proven to reduce risky behavior and violence, with signi4cantly less damage to our justice and corrections systems as well as our social fabric,” the authors wrote. “Together with targeted enforcement of existing Illinois laws that provide for harsh gun sentences where appropriate, these initiatives o.er real solutions to gun violence.”

Ryan also sits on NU’s Board of Trustees.Other highlights of previous collaborations
between NU and the Art Institute include the establishment of the Center for Scientific Stud-ies in the Arts and a class taught this summer at the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Sciences on transforming data into art.
Pfleger said one of the challenges of adding a new program is reaching students who may not know about the initiative.
“We’re still working on getting the word out,” she said. “You’ll see a lot more marketing and advertising coming. We’re pretty excited about the collaboration and all the feedback I’ve seen from the students who have heard about it. They’re pretty excited too.”
Ald. Delores Holmes (!th) said she had to meet with Gaspard twice before his presentation because his original budget was “embarrassing.” He initially defended his plan but then promised to revise it.
Gaspard’s departure comes as aldermen weigh the future of the township, which handles general assis-tance for the needy and tax advice for residents.
At its Sept. "# meeting, the council introduced a proposed ordinance that would allow residents to vote
in March to abolish the township.Gaspard’s resignation leaves another seat to $ll in
the township o%ce. Incoming assessor Sharon Eckersall was found dead
in her home in September, and township trustees are expected to pick her successor late this month or next month.
Outgoing assessor Bonnie Wilson declined to com-ment Friday on Gaspard’s exit, saying she will make a statement at the council meeting Monday night.

Scientists raise concerns about nuclear weapons plan
The Energy Department’s plan to modern-ize its aging nuclear weapons complex and update the seven hydrogen bomb designs in the nation’s arsenal would require mas-sive investments at a time of severe budget pressure.
As a result, the plan is getting a tough assessment by outside groups, who say con-gressional Republicans and Democrats are not fully on board with what the Obama administration has proposed over the last year: a &'( billion effort that would trans-form industrial arms sites across the nation and fundamentally reconfigure existing weapon designs.
A report this week by the Union of Con-cerned Scientists raises new objections that the plan would require construction of unnecessary facilities and introduce untested combinations of parts inside the bombs _ which could erode confidence in their reli-ability and safety.
At the same time, the report confirmed long-standing concerns cited by nuclear weapons experts that not enough routine testing and surveillance of the nation’s stock-pile is being conducted at bomb plants to assure full reliability of the weapons. In recent years, funding for surveillance has increased and is scheduled to grow.
The U.S. stopped making nuclear weapons in )**(, meaning that all stockpiles are at least "# years old and in many cases #( or +( years old. The Energy Department has proposed and withdrawn a number of plans to deal with the aging stockpiles.
After those earlier plans were criticized, the Nuclear Weapons Council, a high-level board of officials from the Energy and Defense departments, proposed a "!-year plan to mix old and newly manufactured parts from the seven existing weapons designs into five new packages at a cost of &'( billion.
The new report from the scientists group
faulted that plan, because it would combine plutonium triggers from one type of weapon with thermonuclear components from other types. That kind of combination was never tested by detonation before the end of full-scale underground tests in the early )**(s.
Among the authors of the report was Philip Coyle, who at one time ran the nation’s nuclear testing program in Nevada, later was deputy director of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and until "()) served as associate director for national security and international affairs in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Coyle said the current plan essentially vio-lates the Obama administration’s pledge against developing new nuclear weapons.
“It sends the wrong message to the rest of the world,” he said.
The Energy Department and its National Nuclear Security Administration, which runs the weapons complex, did not respond to Times requests for comment on the report.
Instead of developing new designs that could not be tested under current interna-tional treaties, the Obama administration should continue to refurbish existing designs at a much lower cost, said physicist Lisbeth Gronlund, a co-author of the report.
“Both parties are concerned about the cost of these things,” she said.
The report also called on the Energy Department to get rid of its surplus stocks of plutonium and uranium, in part by blending the material for use as commercial nuclear reactor fuel.
The Energy Department has enough mate-rial for )#,((( new nuclear bombs, according to the report.
The Obama plan would include a number of costly new production facilities, including the Uranium Processing Facility, a massive plant at the Y-)" Security Complex in Ten-nessee slated to manufacture new thermo-nuclear secondaries for bombs.
The cost of that facility has jumped from &'(( million to &, billion, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists report, and other estimates put the cost as high as &)).' billion.

ON DECK ON THE RECORDVolleyballNU vs. Illinois, 7 p.m. Wednesday
We’re going to recharge, get re-excited, recover, re-juice — a lot of re’s in there. — Tim Lenahan, men’s soccer coach
OCT. 23
Someone asked football coach Pat Fitzgerald how his team refocuses for Iowa a!er the Wildcats’ third straight loss Saturday to Minnesota.
“(We) don’t listen to you guys,” Fitzgerald lobbied at the media, again showing his disdain for the criticism and hype that comes with every NU game.
Personally, I think it might be time we stop listening to Fitzgerald.
Before the season, it was Fitzgerald, University President Morton Schapiro and the rest of the athletic department who put the hype and expectations on the Cats this season. And it’s now NU’s fault that it has failed to live up to its own proclamations.
"is program craves attention, and it’s unfair to shy away from the spotlight once the losses mount. Let’s not forget that NU is a media darling, and Fitzger-ald operates under less pressure than just about any coach in the country.
Fitzgerald is the one who told the Chicago Tribune in August, “Our inter-nal expectations far outweigh external expectations, and they’ve been that way for a long time.”
So who created this hype? Who is the reason for the massive disappoint-ment this season is shaping up to be?
Fitzgerald continued about the hype from “the outside” at his news confer-ence Saturday.
“I’d love to say that I was able to shut all that out. "at’s impossible,” he said.
Even wide receiver Christian Jones got in on the action.
“You’ve been motivated from the start when you get all this hype, but you try not to listen to the hype,” Jones said.
Well, what is it then? How high are the internal expectations when the team consistently blames the media for putting too much hype on the Cats?
It seems convenient that the team ignores when Schapiro and Fitzgerald gleamed about making a return trip to California for the Rose Bowl this season.
Listen, I don’t hate Pat Fitzgerald. In fact, I have an unhealthy obsession with him. But I’m tired of NU trying to have its cake and eat it too. If this team wants the positives that come with “College GameDay” and prime-time games on ABC, then it’s time to step and accept the scrutiny that comes when you #op in the a!ermath. It’s what happens at Ohio State and Michigan.
And I still believe in our guys. As I watched Florida State whip Clemson on Saturday, knowing my friends from back home enjoyed seeing their pro-gram dominate a top-$ve opponent, I still thought, “"at should be us.”
I still have faith. I still love my team. It’s impossible to explain to outsiders, but I’ll take the Cats over anyone, any day, because I know what we stand for and how we conduct our business. But it’s time for the insiders to live up to their end of the bargain.
Collin Ellis, one of the few to play well Saturday, said a!er the game: “We know we’re a good football team. A really, really good football team.”
I’m sorry, but words aren’t enough this time, not a!er what’s happened on the $eld. Fitzgerald had another quote for the Tribune in August, this one a bit more prescient.
“If we don’t keep winning, it’s going to be like (last year) was a great year for Northwestern football, but it’s still Northwestern,’’ Fitzgerald said.
Well, I guess we’re still Northwestern.

Cats not living up to own hypeBy ALEX PUTTERMAN

Northwestern’s game kicked o3 44 a.m. Saturday, and the Wildcats played like they forgot their morning cup of co3ee.
NU (5-6, 1-6) lost 21-47 at Ryan Field, falling to Minnesota (8-2, 4-2) in a game NU was favored to win by double digits.
“We’ve just got to play better, is what it comes down to,” junior linebacker Collin Ellis said #atly. “We didn’t play well today, and that’s pretty much how it is.”
"e game’s turning point came when junior quarterback Trevor Siemian — playing full-time in place of an injured Kain Colter — threw a third quarter pass directly into the arms of Minnesota line-backer James Manuel. Manuel cruised 25 yards for an easy touchdown.
As coach Pat Fitzgerald said of the interception, “Obviously the choice to make that throw he’d love to have back.”
"e score gave the Golden Gophers a 45-7 lead, and the Cats never caught up, trailing 47-7 and 21-41 before a late touchdown.
NU led in the $rst quarter, when red-shirt freshman running back Stephen Buckley carried — literally — the Cats to a $rst-quarter score. Buckley accounted for 85 of NU’s 72 yards on the drive, including a 66-yard rush and the three-yard touchdown, the $rst of his career.
Nevertheless, the Cats’ o3ensive stag-nancy continued, a week a!er scoring only 9 points in a blowout loss to Wis-consin. Saturday, the Cats turned over the ball three times and punted on six possessions. "ey gained more than half of their total yards on three scoring drives and were otherwise unproductive.
“I see a team that’s not executing very well right now,” Fitzgerald said. “"ere are some inopportune drops, there are some decisions and choices with the ball. All we have to do is make smart decisions and choices with the football and we win a football game.”
Largely ine3ective through 6 4/2 quar-ters, Siemian heated up late, $nding junior receiver Tony Jones for a back-shoulder touchdown catch with two minutes to play. But Minnesota responded with a game-clinching $rst down, and a!er-ward, Siemian’s two interceptions reso-nated louder than his 28 completions.
“Mistakes were made,” junior receiver Christian Jones said when asked about Siemian’s play. “A lot of guys made mis-takes. … When somebody makes a mistake, everyone else has to pick it up around them. I couldn’t tell you who made mistakes, I was just trying to focus on myself.”
Minnesota’s lone o3ensive score came via a Philip Nelson 2:-yard touchdown pass with 9 minutes and 5; seconds to play in the second quarter. NU redshirt
freshman cornerback Dwight White appeared to stumble on the coverage, allowing Minnesota receiver Derrick Engel to slip behind him for the big gain. White was benched and played sporadi-cally therea!er.
Apart from the touchdown play, NU’s defense was fairly sturdy, holding Min-nesota to 2:: yards of o3ense. But the unit failed to produce the big play that has de$ned it all season. Saturday marked the $rst game this year in which the Cats have not forced a turnover.
“We had two opportunities to get turnovers there,” Fitzgerald said, referring to a pair of fumbles NU failed to recover. “"at obviously makes a huge di3erence in the outcome of the game.”
"e loss, NU’s third in a row, e3ectively ends the Cats’ aspirations of winning the
Big Ten’s Legends division and raises doubt about the future for a team once considered one of the conference’s best. Each of NU’s remaining opponents have better records — in conference and over-all — than the Cats. "e losing streak is NU’s longest since the team dropped $ve in a row early in the 2144 season.
“If we were playing great and losing that would be tough,” Fitzgerald said. “It’s not like we’re playing great. "ere’s a lot of room for improvement.”

Cats can’t !nd net, tie yet again in OhioBy BOBBY PILLOTE/<+ %&'() ,-./<=+*/+., @bobbypillote
Northwestern fought to its fourth scoreless draw of the season Sunday a!ernoon in Columbus, Ohio.
"e No. 49 Wildcats (;-6-6, 4-4-4 Big Ten) couldn’t get on the board against Ohio State (2-9-8, 1-2-2) in what was the $rst match of a two-game conference road trip for NU.
"e game opened with a salvo of attacks from the Cats. "ree di3erent players took shots for NU in the $rst
six minutes, but each attempt sailed over the net or was de#ected wide. "e o3ense kept its foot on the gas, producing another three chances before the midway point of the opening period. Sophomore mid$elder Cole Missimo put a shot on goal in the 26rd minute, but Buckeyes goalkeeper Alex Ivanov made an impres-sive save to keep the game scoreless.
Momentum shi!ed back to Ohio State for the remainder of the half, with the team generating many chances and landing two shots on goal. "e Buckeyes looked to take advantage of sophomore goalie Zak Allen, who started for the Cats in place of junior Tyler Miller. "e anchor of the defense was unable to play due to illness and will be out for a couple of weeks, coach Tim Lenahan said. Prior to this game, Miller had played every min-ute in goal for NU this season.
Both squads dug in for the second half, and the match took on a more defensive rhythm. O3ense returned as the period wore on, and sophomore forward Joey Calistri continued to power the Cats’ attack. NU’s leading scorer this season with 41 goals, Calistri took seven shots during the game.
“Everything that Calistri was doing the $rst month of the season, he did today,” Lenahan said. “But they got saves.”
Looking to avoid a third straight over-time match, the Cats made a big push at the close of regulation. Senior mid$elder Lepe Seetane had two shots on goal within the $nal $ve minutes, but neither volley found the back of the net.
“I thought we did a really good job
creating chances today,” Lenahan said. “We just didn’t $nish, and sometimes that’s what happens ... We just have to keep plugging along. "at’s what you do: keep plugging along and good things happen.”
NU kept the pressure on Ivanov throughout both extra periods, forcing the Buckeyes’ goalkeeper to make three saves. However, Ohio State managed to hold on to a clean sheet. With their o3enses generating few chances during overtime, both teams le! the $eld with a 1-1 result.
“We kept a shutout, which is prob-ably the biggest positive,” Calistri said. “Overall we just have to do a better job of putting the ball in, but it wasn’t the worst result today.”
It was the third consecutive tie for the Cats and the second consecutive for the Buckeyes. "e match was also the $!h tie game this fall for Ohio State.
NU plays its next match Oct. 27, on the road against Penn State.
“We’re really tired,” Lenahan said. “We’re going to recharge, get re-excited, recover, re-juice.”

COLD STREAK Despite leading the Big Ten in goals, sophomore forward Joey Calistri hasn’t found the back of the net since Oct. 2. He had seven shots in Northwestern’s tie with Ohio State on Sunday, only one on goal.
