Student who fell from window still in critical condition
The Northwestern student who fell out of a third-!oor window at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house remained in critical but stable condi-tion Sunday, according to hospital and University o"cials.
Weinberg junior Matthew Cooney was taken to Evanston Hospital on Tuesday morning and underwent suc-cessful surgery later that night. He was critically injured at the time.
Hospital spokeswoman Andrea Mitchell said Cooney’s condition did not change over the weekend. Criti-cal but stable condition usually means patients are not at risk of death but expected to stay in the hospital until their health improves.
Fire o"cials believe Cooney was not able to leave his room in the fraternity house and was looking for another way out before he fell.
University Police is investigating the incident.
Mitchell had no further information on Cooney’s condition.

Evanston Township High School students are trading pencil cases for toolboxes this fall as they delve into Geometry in Construction, a new class in which they build a fully functional home for a low-income Evanston family.
The /0 students enrolled in the class started the construction proj-ect at the beginning of the school year and will be ready to work on the floors this week.
The course syllabus says students will gain hands-on experience in construction skills ranging from plumbing to siding.
The students are also learning advanced math as they deal with blueprints for the project, said Mat-thew Kaiser, an industrial technol-ogy teacher who co-leads the class with Maryjoy Heineman of the mathematics department.
The ETHS curriculum for the class was inspired by a similar proj-ect that started eight years ago at
Loveland High School in Colorado. City and school officials gave the green light last fall, and the teach-ers have been planning ever since, Kaiser said.
“The idea is that the construc-tion guides the geometry,” Kaiser said. “In Colorado, where the proj-ect started, students were able to take the concepts from the math and directly apply them to building the house. And in doing so, they saw a tremendous gain in their test scores.”
The house, which is being built in an empty parking lot near the ETHS tennis courts, will eventu-ally be transported to a city-owned vacant lot at 1231 Jackson Ave.
Rob Anthony, executive director of Community Partners for Afford-able Housing, a Highland Park, Ill.-based nonprofit organization that has signed on to sell the house, said he expects to place it in the 4100,000 to 4150,000 bracket and already has a waiting list of buyers.
He said he is not concerned about high school students build-ing the home because it will still be
overseen by professional contractors and inspected by city officials.
“It will be a well-built, quality
house,” Anthony said. “It’ll be a great value for a family looking for a brand new home. I think we’ll have no trouble finding a buyer.”
Anthony said part of the profits from the house will fund the class project next year.
The house will be one story high with a long, narrow shape that is easy to transport and fits well in the vacant lot.
Most materials, including
window panes and furniture sets, are being donated or discounted by the Evanston ReBuilding Ware-house, a nonprofit organization that promotes the use of recycled mate-rials in construction.
“It’s the green way to go,” said Lou Dickson, executive director of the warehouse. “A lot of the older materials are better than the newer ones. If you throw it away and buy something new, it’s just using more energy.”
The city partially funded this year’s project, and the Evanston Community Foundation gave it a 410,000 grant.
Sara Schastok, president and CEO of the foundation, said the project complements many of her organization’s goals.
“Given our interest in the work-force readiness of Evanston young adults and in affordable housing in Evanston, it was a great opportunity for us,” she said.
The new course has two sections, each of which meets once a day.
ETHS students to build low-income home
“In Colorado,
where the project started, students were able to take
the concepts from the math and directly apply
them to building the house.

Childish Gambino to play at BlowoutBy TYLER PAGER-6) #$%&' *+,-67)(-),* @tylerpager
Rapper and actor Donald Glover, also known by his stage name Child-ish Gambino, will headline A&O’s Fall Blowout concert Oct. 11, the organiza-tion announced Sunday night.
University President Morton Scha-piro made the announcement through a video on A&O’s website.
“Hey Wildcats, this year I’m very excited to say that the headliner for Blowout is a very talented performer that you guys handpicked in the poll last spring,” Schapiro said in the video. “Are you ready? Childish Gambino.”
Gambino, who starred as Troy Barnes in NBC’s sitcom “Community,” released his debut album “Camp” — which included hits “Bon8re” and “Fire Fly” — for Glassnote Records in 5011. 9e Blowout opening act has yet to be announced.
A&O spokeswoman Rosalind Mowitt said the group selected
Gambino because of the results of a poll students took in the spring.
She added that this was the 8rst time the organization sent out a poll speci8cally for Blowout.
“Childish ended up being the highest-ranked person available and within our price range, which is the 8rst time we have been able to do that,” she said.
A&O chairman Demetrios Cokinos said he’s excited for Gambino to bring his “diverse talent” to campus.
“He’s such a di:erent kind of rap-per,” he said. “For me, I love Donald Glover and everything else he has done with TV and sketch comedy on YouTube.”
Mowitt said Gambino reminds her of a typical Northwestern student.
“I think it’s funny because he’s almost the perfect 8t for Northwest-ern,” she said. “When I think about what di:erentiates the Northwestern student body, (it) is de8nitely that mindset of a really well-rounded

Set your alarm clocks and get your custom signs ready, Northwestern fans. “College GameDay” is coming to your city.
ESPN’s popular show previewing the day’s college football action will broadcast Saturday morning from the northern area of the Lake8ll near Lakeside Field, NU spokesman Al Cubbage wrote Sunday in an email to 9e Daily. “GameDay” host Chris Fowler announced late Saturday night on Twitter that the show will return to Evanston for the 8rst time in nearly two decades.
Cubbage also said the show will be incorporated into Homecoming festivities. Homecoming was forced to cancel a ;K run, previously scheduled
for Saturday morning at the Lake8ll. University Police will assist with security for the show, which typically draws large crowds of fans with !ags and posters.
“GameDay” will make its first appearance in Evanston since 122; to preview the No. 1/ Wildcats’ Satur-day night matchup against No. 3 Ohio State. 9e team for the game’s ABC broadcast will join Saturday’s battle: Play-by-play man Brent Musburger (Medill ‘/1) and color commentator Kirk Herbstreit (Ohio State ‘2<) will watch their alma maters square o: at Ryan Field.
“GameDay” also broadcast from Wrigley Field in 5010, when NU took on Illinois.
Among the show’s traditions are sweeping shots of fervent crowds and a segment in which the hosts select who they expect to win the day’s sig-ni8cant games.
At the end of the show, host Lee
Corso dons the mascot head of the school he thinks will win in the game from which “GameDay” is held.
9e announcement put to rest long-simmering speculation about ESPN’s interest in Evanston, especially as both the Wildcats and Buckeyes enter conference play undefeated with their eyes on the Big Ten title.
Evanston 8rst heard the network was considering NU for “GameDay” about two weeks ago, city manager Wally Bobkiewicz said Friday evening. He recently talked about the prospect with his counterpart in Ann Arbor, Mich., where the show broadcast from Sept. = when Michigan played Notre Dame.
“When the announcement’s made, everything starts moving very quickly,” Bobkiewicz said the Ann Arbor o"cial told him.
Bobkiewicz added that the city

Chicago businesses to open joint locationBy JULIAN GEREZ*+, -./01 234*+5,6*,42 @JGerez_news
Two staple Chicago businesses, Dollop Co7ee Co. and Hoosier Mama Pie Company, are join-ing forces to open a shared location next month in Evanston.
8e expansion was a natural option for the companies’ owners. Dollop serves Hoosier Mama pies at its Chicago locations and Dan Weiss, owner of Dollop, knew that Hoosier Mama was looking for a bigger space.
Explaining the partnership, Weiss said Hoo-sier Mama’s pies would “9y o7 of his shelves.” At &)% square feet, the pie company’s Chicago loca-tion did not have enough space to o7er espresso, owner Paula Haney said.
“Dan [Weiss] feels the same way about co7ee as we do about pies,” Haney said. “It really seems like a good :t.”
Haney called Evanston a “good pie kind of town” and said her customers o!en drive from the North Shore to the Chicago shop. Weiss agreed, saying he went to high school in Evanston and grew up writing in the city’s co7ee shops.
8e new space is located on the ground 9oor of the AMLI Residential apartment building, &(# Chicago Ave., by the Main Street CTA station
and will o7er Hoosier Mama’s renowned hand-made pies and Dollop’s home-brewed co7ee.
8e shop will also serve a variety of breakfast and dinner options, including sandwiches that Hoosier Mama was unable to make in its old space due to size restrictions.
Even though Dollop has three other locations throughout Chicago, Weiss prides himself in that each of his stores do not have a predetermined :nal image when he opens them.
“I like to open up cafes that really suit the neighborhood that they are in,” Weiss said. “8ey are not cookie-cutter cafes. 8ey are co7ee shops that are going to continually grow and change.”
Despite that fact, Weiss says the biggest goal for Dollop is to continue expanding as long as he has the energy to do so.
Haney said Hoosier Mama plans to stay in the Chicago area because it makes all its pies by hand.
Dollop uses co7ee beans from around the world and roasts them at Metropolis Co7ee in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood, Weiss said.
Hoosier Mama :nds most of its produce at farmers’ markets, baking pies seasonally, with the exception of apple.
“8ere would be riots if we didn’t have apple pie year-round,” Haney said.
Weiss said the new location will “de:nitely”
o7er student discounts. Dollop also already served Northwestern students, with its Street-erville location near the Chicago campus.
“I think Evanston will de:nitely attract some of the Northwestern crowd,” Weiss said. “A stu-dent is always looking for somewhere new to go do work and hang out.”

City learns about environmentally friendly livingBy JENNIFER BALL!"# $%&'( )*+!",#-!#+) @Jennifercball
.e seventh annual Evanston Green Living Fes-tival gave environmentally conscious organizations a platform to showcase their products, services and ideas Saturday.
“It was started seven years ago as a way for resi-dents to try and decrease their carbon footprint,” said Claire Alden, the event’s co-chair.
About /,000 people attended the festival at the Evanston Ecology Center, 1012 N. McCormick Blvd, Alden said. .e event featured more than 30 booths and was sponsored by the city, the Evanston Envi-ronmental Association and other businesses and organizations.
.e festival was themed “Preserving and Protect-ing the Urban Forest.” Paul D’Agostino, assistant director of public works for parks and forestry, and city arborist Mark Younger were keynote speak-ers for the event. Communities with a healthy tree population receive substantial bene4ts including better air quality, more outdoor activity and eco-nomic prosperity, Younger said.
.e event featured a forestry walk exhibit to edu-cate people about the insect called the emerald ash borer, which is essentially “choking” Evanston’s ash trees, D’Agostino said.
“Evanston as a community was known for its trees, and we’ve lost so many,” said Marcia Ellis, a member of the Evanston Environmental Association.
.e loss of city trees began with Dutch Elm Dis-ease attacking the elm trees, and the city replaced the elms with ash trees, she said.
.en the emerald ash borer began attacking the ash trees, Ellis said.
“We’re going through this process of trying to achieve a reforestation of Evanston,” she said.
.e city developed a fund to replace trees infested with the emerald ash borers but is now looking to plant more diverse trees. However, residents who lost trees on their street may have a replacement tree that is signi4cantly smaller.
Activities for children and free bicycle rickshaw rides were also o5ered at the festival. .e Evan-ston O6ce of Sustainability handed out out recy-cling guides, light bulbs and bike maps to those in attendance.
Evanston resident Mike Moran was on a bike ride with his family when they decided to stop by the event.
“We didn’t know about all the handouts,” he said. “.e kids are really excited about it.”
Attendees were encouraged to walk, ride their bicycles or take public transportation to the festival.
.e booths ranged from green products and ser-vices to the debut of Tiny House, an environmentally
friendly building made by former and current Northwestern students.
“It’s a growing movement,” said William Fan (McCormick ‘//), one of the students who created Tiny House. “In Evanston, they want to increase the awareness of environmental programs.”
Ellen Frier, a festival volunteer and former employee of the ecology center, said the event aimed
to show how easy it is to start living an environmen-tally conscious life.
“It is important for the community to know about the many opportunities for decreasing your carbon footprint,” Frier said. “.ere are little things you can do and choices you can make.”

A Northwestern researcher is pushing back against the House of Representatives’ vote to cut 820 billion from food stamps — and she says she has the data to prove her point.
.e House voted Sept. /9 to cut funding by 820 billion over /0 years from the Supplemen-tal Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as the food stamps program. While 1/3
Republicans voted for the bill, /9: Democrats and /: Republicans voted against it. .e bill now awaits action in the Senate, and President Barack Obama has pledged to veto it even if it does pass.
SESP Prof. Diane Schanzenbach, a researcher at NU’s Institute for Policy Research, says Repub-licans’ cries that the welfare program is being abused miss the positive economic impact SNAP has on low-income families.
“What we are 4nding is that the positive aspects of the program, such as li;ing families out of poverty and better adult health for those
who were in the program as children, are being ignored in the funding debates,” Schanzenbach said in a news release. “Our research indicates that SNAP should be seen as an investment in human welfare — not a vicious welfare trap.”
Schanzenbach co-authored a study with University of California, Berkeley Prof. Hilary Hoynes, 4nding that the introduction of the food stamps program from /9<= to /93: led to increases in food spending by participating fami-lies. In a related study, she found that initiating the program at the county level led to improved infant health, including reducing low-weight
births by 3 percent for whites and between : and // percent for blacks.
She said the impact of her research should not be lost on policymakers.
“In these di6cult times of budget cuts and 4scal wrangling, it’s crucial for policymakers to have information that allows them to gauge the program’s short- and long-term bene4ts — par-ticularly for children — measured across a wide variety of outcomes,” Schanzenbach said in the release.

NU report shows rise in disclosed bias incidents, drug violations
Northwestern’s annual Security and Fire Safety Report was released Sunday, revealing a small increase in reported bias incidents and minor drug violations.
The report is issued each year in accordance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act.
It details statistics about fires and crimes that occurred on campus in the last three years.
The number of hate crimes reported to Uni-versity Police are included in the report.
Although no bias-related assaults were reported in !"#" or !"##, three race-related simple assaults were reported in !"#!.
In general, the number of hate crimes reported over the last three years was low, totaling five bias-related vandalisms in the last three years and two intimidation incidents, in addition to the three simple assaults.
Prior to the !"#! reporting period, the University formed the Bias Incident Response Team as an attempt to decrease the number of bias incidents that went unaccounted for.
The report also includes the number of arrests and referrals made in relation to drug use and alcohol.
There were $"$ alcohol violation referrals and zero arrests for alcohol in !"#!, the lowest figure in three years.
UP attributes the decrease to the implemen-tation of an alcohol and other drug sanction-ing program, BASICS, in which students who commit alcohol-related violations are required to attend two one-hour meetings after their first offense.
The num-ber of drug violation referrals nearly dou-bled f rom !"## to !"#!. In !"##, %! referrals were made, com-pared with &' referrals in the follow-ing year.
However, on l y f i v e drug-related arrests were made in !"#! compared to four made in !"##.
UP said in the report the reason behind the increase in drug referrals was unknown.
Burglaries decreased significantly in !"#! to !" on the Evanston campus and one on the Chicago campus, in comparison with %( Evan-ston burglaries and ## Chicago burglaries in !"##.
UP attributed the decrease to a secure pass building access system implemented in NU medical buildings in Fall !"##.

City artists display 2nd annual free showcaseBy JENNIFER BALL)*+ ,-./0 123)*4+5)+31 @jennifercball
Evanston artists organized a free showcase in the city’s West Village on Friday, giving residents a glimpse of new galleries and open studios.
Lea Pinsky, one of the event’s organizers, said she hopes the Art Hop will be at least biannual.
“6is is the second one we’re doing,” Pinsky said. “I’m really excited about the community-building aspect of it.”
Space '"", where Pinsky shows her art, was one of many galleries and studios in the area that opened up for the night.
More than #! organizations joined in the sec-ond event of its kind to feature open studios, gallery exhibitions, a cra7 beer tasting, a variety of demos, an open mic and a live jazz jam. 6e 8rst Art Hop was in June.
In addition to the open gallery, Space '"", #"%! Wesley Ave., hosted jazz artist Donovan Mixon and o9ered beer tastings from Temper-ance Brewery, which recently opened a ware-house at !""" Dempster St.
Alice George, another Art Hop organizer, shares King George Studio and Gallery with artist Jill King. King estimated !"" people came to their gallery Friday night.
A few blocks away, Ausrine Kerr will rent out Art Room, a gallery space on Florence Avenue, to artists to create their own shows or to employ the workspace. Fran Joy, a member of the Evan-ston Arts Council, said renting the Art Room space out to artists is “really commendable.”
Jhana Chinamasta said she rented Ausrine’s Art Room for a textile show.
“6is place is such an asset to anyone who’s in Evanston,” Chinamasta said.
Joy said Chinamasta’s collection contained what she considers “museum-quality” textiles.
“I didn’t know we had such an art community in this area,” said Hugh Gilbert, who lived with his wife in Evanston for !$ years.
He attended the printmaking demo at 6e Evanston Print and Paper Shop, located next to Ausrine’s Art Room, and called it “just charming.”
“We’re thrilled to have artists and cra7smen that have moved into this storefront,” said Joe Feinglass, a Feinberg professor who lives around the corner from the print shop. “I’m happy to have them here.”
Art Hop attendees agreed the event shows how the city’s art community is growing.
“People kept saying this is exactly what Evan-ston needs — a community art scene,” George said.

Bharath Pattabiraman has been a Ph.D. stu-dent in the department of electrical engineering and computer science in McCormick since !""#. He hails from Chennai, the “Detroit of India.” Pattabiraman spoke to me about his work and journey so far at Northwestern.
When and why did you decide to do a Ph.D.?
Primarily, I had some research exposure during undergrad at Birla Institute of Technol-ogy and Science, Pilani, India; however, right a$ er graduation, although I was interested in pursuing research, I also wanted to explore how things are outside of academia. So I took up an industry job. I worked there for a couple of years and realized it was not like what I had thought or wanted at that point, so the immediate thing I wanted was to jump into research in the area of my interest.
Why Northwestern?I had a double major in physics and engineer-
ing during undergrad. During that time, I had worked as an intern in two research institutions where I got exposed to using computational methods to solve problems in astrophysics. I found it very exciting, and such an interdisci-plinary opportunity was available only in a few schools, NU being one of them.
Tell us about your research at NU.I am a member of an interdisciplinary
research group at Northwestern, CIERA (Center for Interdisciplinary Exploration and Research in Astrophysics), which is comprised of members from both the astrophysics and computer science faculty, among others.
I develop high-performance so$ ware that par-allelizes and links multiple existing astrophysical simulation codes. I devise novel parallel algo-rithms that can achieve good scalability and opti-mally utilize resources on heterogeneous super-computing architectures with multi-core CPUs and GPUs. % e codes simulate the evolution of what are called collisional N-body systems.
Which stage is it in?I have completed a major portion of what my
adviser had in plan for me — the parallel so$ -ware I developed is being used by members of CIERA for multiple research projects resulting in publications.
What is one of the most challenging things about this research?
% e interdisciplinary factor. At times, it feels like what I do is not signi& cant enough in either domain, so it gives a feeling that one is falling through the cracks. However, it comes with a lot of positives to it, a few being the opportu-nity to learn, communicate and network with people from multiple research & elds and the garnering of a unique combination of skills that only very few others in the entire world possesses.
Has it been implemented and been tested/used by people or industry?
No. My work does not have any direct indus-try application.
Any specifi c/interesting thing you want to share about your research?
% ere is a lot of interesting stu' going on. I’ll be open to talk to anyone who is interested in knowing more.
What is one interesting thing about your Ph.D. program or NU?
NU is a great place. I personally like Evanston and Chicago a lot — there are tons of things to do.
What’s next?A$ er being in academic research for the last
few years, I am realizing I would like my work to have a more direct and quicker impact on the world and society. So I would most likely be looking for research-related opportunities in the industry.

Animals on factory farms are deprived of everything that could possibly give their lives meaning, and all of that is traded for a mere ( eeting sensory pleasure.
— Glenn Alexander
In response to: “PETA brings factory farms to Norris”,submitted !/"#/$% at &:$' p.m.
When I open my Internet browser, I some-times automatically start typing in “facebook.com.” It’s not even a conscious decision. Even if I was originally planning to go to a di' er-ent website, my & ngers seem to type it in by themselves.
Being addicted to Facebook is partly what it means to be a member of my generation. Going on Facebook is like a & x for our short atten-tion spans, as we scroll through endless status updates and pictures of people we don’t really know. It’s addicting, fast and largely super& -cial, and I’ve found that most people my age wouldn’t try to argue otherwise.
Last year, two of my close friends deacti-vated their Facebooks and described to me how liberating it was. No longer wrapped up in the buzz of social media, they told me how they felt calmer and had more free time as a result.
I considered trying it for myself. At & rst, I didn’t think it was a good idea. Facebook felt like a necessity for my social life, something that everyone my age needed to have to keep up and stay connected with one another. Not hav-ing one would leave me disconnected with the people and events around me.
When I tried it, though, I realized it was pretty easy to function without a Facebook. I could text or call people if I needed to contact them. % ough I might have missed a few events on campus, I still knew about most of them through listservs and by word of mouth.
As weeks went by, I pretty much stopped thinking about Facebook altogether. My expe-rience was pretty di' erent than I anticipated. Instead of feeling disconnected with the people around me, I found that my interactions felt slightly more genuine. I appreciated my friends more when I actually got to see them. My social life could pause when I wanted it to, and things felt calmer just as my friends had described.
I also noticed that I stopped judging situa-tions based on how others would perceive them if I posted them online. I no longer would have funny moments and immediately think “Wow, that would make a great status update.”
% at’s what social media can do. It can make us more concerned with sharing experiences than living in them. It can make us compul-sively think about how others would perceive certain situations in case we were to share them.
A$ er a few months without a Facebook, I was pretty set on being Facebook-free for the rest of my life. I had proved to myself that I didn’t need it, and that I was better o' without it. I considered deleting it permanently.
I & rmly held on to this mindset until one summer night when I couldn’t sleep. It was ) a.m., and I decided to reactivate my Facebook just to check it out. I logged on and scrolled through my news feed. It was exciting seeing statuses from people I mostly had forgotten about.
I was about to log o' when I got a message from a friend of mine that I hadn’t spoken to in a while. He was waiting for an early ( ight that was taking him back to school and asked me what I was doing up so late. We chatted for few minutes just catching up until he had to leave and get on his ( ight.
Since then, I’ve kept my Facebook up. I
realize that even though it’s addictive, I have friends around the world from throughout my life that I want to stay connected with, and I would lose a lot of those connections if I delete my Facebook. Although I still have my prob-lems with Facebook, I just need to limit the time I spend on it, and I’ll probably be & ne.

Center for Public Safety teams up with Korea Police Training Institute
!e Northwestern University Center for Public Safety is partnering with the Korea Police Training
Institute to collaborate on the two organizations’ goals of education and public safety in the United States and South Korea, the University announced Wednesday.
PTI o"cials joined several NU administrators on campus Friday for an o"cial signing of the memo-randum of understanding.
“!is partnership will provide opportunities for
PTI and NUCPS to work together, to visit each oth-er’s facilities and to carry out joint research related to police education and public safety,” NUCPS execu-tive director David Bradford said in a news release.
Established in #$%&, PTI is the largest of the Korea National Police’s four training institutes. It specializes in the in-service training of police o"cers.
“We expect our exchange to promote not only
better results in terms of scholastic achievement, but also deeper understanding of each other’s cul-ture, and to contribute to an improved relationship between the two institutions and the nations that they belong to,” said San-Yong Park, PTI senior superintendent general.

Hundreds bike Ridge Avenue in annual event
By BAILEY WILLIAMS'() *+,-. /01'(2)3')1/ @news_BaileyW
Evanston shut down a two-mile stretch of Ridge Avenue on Sunday for hundreds of residents partici-pating in the annual Bike the Ridge ride.
!e event, held from $ a.m. to # p.m., drew cyclists of all ages, as well as rollerbladers, skateboarders, run-ners and scooter riders. !ey took over all lanes on Ridge Avenue between Howard and Church streets.
“It’s just a really great Evanston event,” said Michael Miro, spokesman for the Ridgeville Park District. “It brings families out of their homes on a Sunday morning.”
!e park district was one of several sponsors of the cycling event, which also featured musical perfor-mances and food trucks at Ridgeville Park near the intersection of Howard Street and South Boulevard.
Although the ride did not o"cially begin until $
a.m., bikers were already on the route at 4:%& a.m. Some cross streets remained open with the assistance of tra"c supervisors, but other intersections were closed for the event.
Evanston resident Richele Escobar came with her 5-year-old son Julian Pamaran and her husband, who she said “try to ride as much as (they) can.” Her family aims to attend the event every year, she said.
“You know, (my son) gets excited, he sees his class-mates, his friends from school,” Escobar said.
!e ride also brought several groups to the Rid-geville Park area. St. Francis Hospital o6ered handouts on health, food and exercise. Whole Foods Market had free samples and coupons.
!ere were also a few complimentary food and water stands, including a table with bananas and cof-fee near the intersection of Howard Street and Ridge Avenue. Children could also decorate their bikes with ribbons o6ered by one stand along the route.

TRAINING WHEELS A young girl rides down Ridge Avenue during Bike the Ridge. The annual event was held on Sunday between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. and attracted many families.

NO CARS ALLOWED An Evanston police officer directs traffic away from Ridge Avenue during Bike the Ridge on Sunday. The annual one-day event allows bikers to ride on Ridge between Church and Howard Streets.
Most of the work is being done in a multi-purpose lab modified for the project.
Ald. Delores Holmes (!th), whose ward will include the new home, called the class a “win-win all the way around.”
“It’s a fantastic project that will be ben-eficial to our community, to the residents of the !th Ward and to a very deserving family,” she said.

On Friday evening, Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said the force was already anticipating large crowds for NU’s matchup with Ohio State and would be prepared for “GameDay.”
Wildside president Gram Bowsher said as of Sunday night, the student section’s executive board did not have plans "rmed up for incorporating “GameDay,” but he anticipates that Wildside will plan programming. #e SESP junior said the selec-tion of NU as a host site is indicative of the positive steps the football program has taken. “GameDay” generally attends the most important game of the week, with a preference given to games on ESPN’s family of networks.
“It’s a huge opportunity for the athletic depart-ment to get the Northwestern brand out there, show people who Northwestern is, the kind of student-athletes we have here, the fact that we do contend in the Big Ten every year, that the North-western of the $%&'s, the Northwestern that lost () straight games, it’s a completely di*erent program now and, as the football team entrance video says, ‘We’re here to stay,’” Bowsher said.

“We want to give students an in-depth look on how we pick artists,” Cokinos said. “We love hear-ing what the students have to say and really try to bring who they want the most.”
At the President’s Convocation on Monday, Schapiro hinted at the selection of Gambino with a reference to the rapper’s +'$$ single “Heartbeat.”
“I feel really bad that I couldn’t tell you who the A&O performer is,” Schapiro said. “If I could tell you, I would tell you in a ‘heartbeat’ ... ‘heartbeat.’”

Nebraska turned up the pressure and attacked the Cats on the back half of the defense. As much as NU got up front from its blocking, the team had mas-sive problems stopping any attacks that got beyond the "rst row.
Nebraska’s Kelsey Robinson and Kadie Rolfzen put on a show in Evanston, producing a combined )) kills at a .)$$ clip.
Robinson was especially dominant with +! kills at .)(&, and combined with the Cornhuskers’ stellar blocking in the "nal two sets, it was too much for the Cats to deal with.
Even though a loss is a loss, the e*ort wasn’t a total negative, coach Keylor Chan said.
“I was really happy with everything but the out-come,” Chan said. “Obviously we wanted to win, and we had some execution errors and against a team of that caliber, you can’t have any execution errors. What I really liked was the consistency of play, and that kind of consistency can lead us to great things.”
A weaker opponent the next day brought a better result. NU was up against Iowa (%-!, '-+) Saturday night and took care of business.
#e Cats struggled out of the gate, frittering away points with a number of errors to fall down $$-$+ in the "rst set.

It was a straight-sets victory for the Cats, a prom-ising result a/er a tough start to the weekend.

In addition to Holthus’ $+ kills against the Hawkeyes, freshman Kayla Morin had $. and red-shirt junior Katie Duchman produced $+ more, representing a three-pronged weapon that could serve NU well if it develops.
“If everyone’s involved in the o*ense, it makes it a lot more formidable,” Morin said. “#e other team doesn’t really know where we’re going to go.”
Chan believes the team still needs to improve on the serving game and on the defense’s back end.

More than /,000 students tested out Evanston restaurants ranging from Andy’s Frozen Custard to 1 at Little Mexican Cafe on Sunday.
1 irty-two Evanston stores handed out free food samples as part of Associated Student Gov-ernment and Downtown Evanston’s annual Big Bite Night.
1 roughout the event, students could pick up a bag, a booklet with a map of participating restaurants and coupons in front of Whole Foods Market, /230 Chicago Ave., and the Rebecca Crown Center.
Lulu’s owner Dan Kelch said he helped start
Big Bite Night several years ago when he and other Evanston store owners were concerned not enough students were eating o4 campus.
“Now it has become more of a fun event for new students,” Kelch said. “1 ere haven’t been any big changes because it’s worked great every year.”
He said Big Bite Night has become a routine experience for Lulu’s, 503 Davis St.
“At 6 rst it was di7 cult knowing how to orga-nize and prepare for the event,” Cheesie’s Pub & Grub manager Chris Carr said. “Now, we know what we are doing and prepare the same dish every year.”

the menu.“1 at way students can try food they might
not normally order,” Carr said. “1 ey really get to know what the store is about.”
Weinberg senior Tanya Bhardwaj has gone to Big Bite Night every year while at Northwest-ern. She said she keeps coming back because she enjoys meeting new people.
“I remember sharing a warm pizza slice with a girl I had just met in my dorm,” Bhardwaj said. “We’re now good friends.
“1 e only frustrating part is waiting in long lines in front of some of the stores,” she added.
“It can get cold, so I would advise people to skip the long lines,” Bhardwaj said. “1 ere’s so many stops to go to.”

NU sweeps Big Ten opponents at homeBy JOSH WALFISH!"#$% &'(#)* &+",,'* @JoshWal-sh
.e weekend belonged to the Wild-cats’ freshman class.
No. /0 Northwestern got major con-tributions from its youngest players, defeating two Big Ten foes to kick o1 the conference slate. It is the second consecutive year the Cats won their -rst two conference games of the season.
“For us to come out and play two dominating games statistically and across all lines … I’m really happy,” coach Tracey Fuchs said. “But we still need to get better each and every day.”
NU’s weekend began with a battle against No. /2 Iowa on Friday. All 2 goals in the 2-3 overtime victory came from freshmen, with mid-elder Domi-nique Masters recording a hat trick in regulation and forward Isabel Flens ending the game with a strike nine minutes into overtime.
Flens’ weekend was just heating up as the freshman from the Nether-lands scored twice in Sunday’s game, dominating 2-/ over No. /4 Michigan. Fuchs said she was surprised by how quickly Flens became comfortable on the -eld.
“Usually it takes freshmen a good few months to take it to the next level,” Fuchs said. “She’s the -ttest on our team, she’s got really handy skills, she’s got such great hand-eye coordina-tion and she can -nd the back of the net. I’m really happy with her play this weekend.”
Friday’s matchup with the Hawkeyes seemed to be fairly routine for the Cats, who scored twice in the -rst /5 min-utes of playo1 penalty corners. NU took the 0-goal lead into the break, but Iowa scored three times in a /6-min-ute span in the middle of the second half to charge back and take a /-point
advantage. However, the Cats found a way to equalize as Masters scored for the third time that day to send the game into overtime.
In the extra session NU stormed the Iowa net, outshooting the Hawkeyes 2-6 in the -rst half of overtime. Junior Maddy Carpenter stopped Iowa’s -rst
shot of the frame, and the outlet pass to senior Tara Pu1enberger gave her a 0-on-/ up the -eld. .e mid-elder made a de7 pass to Flens and, a7er the original shot was denied by Kelsey Boyce, Flens 8ipped the ball over Boyce to give the Cats the victory.
Sophomore midfielder Caroline
Troncelliti said NU was very happy to get such an emotionally charged win, but the team understood its work wasn’t yet complete that weekend.
“It was great to have that revenge,” Troncelliti said. “But we knew we had
to forget about it Saturday, work really hard in practice and get ready for Michigan.”
NU dominated Sunday’s contest from the opening whistle, peppering Michigan’s goal with /5 shots and forc-ing Wolverines’ goalie Haley Jones to make /6 saves. Troncelliti and Flens connected twice for goals, the -rst of which gave NU the lead at hal7ime. .e second goal iced the game for the Cats as Troncelliti stayed calm with Jones charging her on two-person breakaway and slid a pass to Flens, who deposited it into the cage.
Flens said the team learned a valu-able lesson this weekend about how talented they are and where their limit is.
“We’re great -ghters and we’re a great team together,” Flens said. “.e atmosphere is really good. We need to stay a good team, and we can go far

Northwestern started this season’s Big Ten play with a win against Michigan at Ann Arbor, beating the Wolverines 0-6.
.e Wildcats (;-/-6) improved their away record to a clean 3-6 as they ground out another defensive-minded win. .e Wolverines (0-3-3), however, slipped to their second loss at home. Coach Tim Lenahan stressed that NU’s style of play was the key to victory.
“We were grinding today,” Lenahan said. “We got a 0-6 lead and forced the other team to break us down, so it’s not brain surgery. You’re not worried about rhythm. You’re just worried about the clock ticking, grinding and picking your moments to go forward. .at’s what winning on the road in the Big Ten is all about.”
Michigan outshot the Cats /<-< throughout the game, and the Wolverines started threatening from the -rst whistle. Fortunately for NU, junior goalkeeper Tyler Miller was present at the very back to execute some crucial interventions.
Miller was a defensive stalwart, mak-ing four saves throughout the game, and he praised the team for its collective e1ort when defending. .e team’s defense has helped NU earn its sixth shutout of the season. It is also Miller’s sixth clean sheet of the season.
“We knew they were going to come out early -ring and pumped up,” Miller said. “We stayed organized in the back, and we were able to -ght through it and get that -rst goal to put us up.”
While the Cats maintained their stingy defensive play Saturday, their o1ense continued to link up well and push forward at the right moments. Freshman mid-elder Brandon Medina
had a bit of luck and -nesse when he struck -rst for NU in the 0=th minute on a free kick.
“It was a fortunate bounce and the goalie wasn’t expecting it,” Medina said. “I was very happy because we caught a break. .ey were all over us in the -rst /< minutes, but then we got the goal. .en we just had to stay focused.”
.e breakthrough was crucial and gave the Cats some breathing room from the Wolverines: NU outshot Michigan ;-0 in the -rst half. .ings didn’t change very much in the second half, which was almost a carbon copy of the -rst, with the Wolverines outshooting NU.
.e di1erence between those halves is how NU scored.
.e quality linking up between Med-ina and sophomore forward Joey Calistri was sublime. Calistri connected with a pass from Medina in the 2;th minute to give the Cats some insurance as they went deeper into the second half, and the pair of goals proved to be enough to give them a win to start the Big Ten playing schedule.
“It’s always huge to start with a win,” Miller said. “We’ve got to carry that momentum. You feel more comfortable being one up instead of 6-/. We have that, so now we have to dig in and pre-pare for Bradley on Wednesday.”
.e Cats will look for their eighth consecutive win as they host Bradley University on Wednesday night at Lake-side Field.

Northwestern (4-<, /-/ Big Ten) opened its conference schedule this weekend against Nebraska and Iowa, experiencing two days full of progress and frustration.
.e Wild-cats faced the No. /0 Corn-huskers at Welsh-Ryan Arena on Fri-day night, and two years a7er NU shocked the visitors in four sets, it was Nebras-ka’s turn to win it in four.
.at didn’t mean the victory was
easy, though, especially in front of a -red-up and hostile crowd.
“It was a really exciting atmo-sphere, -rst night of Big Tens,” said Kayla Morin, a freshman outside hit-ter. “It kind of felt like the -rst real home match we’ve had, just with the bands and the fans. It was really electrifying.”
The Cornhuskers were hardly a1ected by the crowd at the start.
Nebraska (4-0, 0-6) charged out in the -rst frame, cruising to a 0<-/5 opening-set win. NU then responded in a big way, using a bevy of blocks to stake itself out to a 5-/ lead in set number two and holding on from there for a 0<-06 score that put the match at /-/.
Blocking was a key theme in prac-tice for the Cats this week and mani-fested itself beautifully, not only in this set but also for the entire weekend.
“We worked on blocking so much this past week, blocking from attacks, transitioning from pin to middle,” said Savannah Pa1en, the junior middle blocker who had /< block assists this weekend. “It really came in handy these two days. You can see that in our number of blocks per game.”
Indeed, NU compiled /4 total
blocks in seven sets over the week-end, executing 0.; blocks per set, more than a half point over its sea-son average.
However shored up that part of the game was, the momentum from the second set quickly evaporated.

NO TIME WASTED Freshman Isabel Flens scored the winning shot in overtime against Iowa on Friday and continued her attack Sunday, making half the goals in Northwestern’s 4-1 win over Michigan. Along with fellow freshman Dominique Masters, the midfielders combined for six of the Wildcats’ eight points this weekend in Evanston.

ROOFED Defensive specialist Abbie Kraus played in both Wildcat matches over the weekend. The defense showed its strength over the weekend as junior Savannah Paffen set a career-high eight blocks facing the Cornhuskers and nearly repeated the feat Saturday, stopping the Hawkeyes cold seven times.
