Connections director retiringBy STEPHANIE KELLYdaily senior staffer @StephanieKellyM

The executive director of Con-nections for the Homeless, who increased the organization’s success rate of getting people off the street by fourfold, will retire at the end of January.

Paul Selden has been the execu-tive director of Connections since 2006. John Pfeiffer will replace Selden as executive director at the beginning of February, Connections announced Wednesday.

Selden, 66, said he is retiring from Connections because the organiza-tion needs someone who has the energy to keep expanding it. The job took up 60-70 hours per week, he said.

“There’s a certain point at which you just run out of the strength to do it,” he said.

When Selden started at Con-nections, the organization was still basically just a shelter, said Sue Loellbach, Connections’ director of development. Now, because of Selden, Loellbach described it as a housing organization that provides some shelter until people move into their own houses.

Selden also helped to develop expanded housing services and to make the organization’s housing-first approach possible. Selden’s

development of increased health services, an unemployment pro-gram and an education program also helped clients reach self-sufficiency, Loellbach said.

By moving past just addressing peoples’ immediate needs, Connec-tions was able to increase the number of people it helped off the street and into housing by 400 percent, Selden said. In addition, the agency more than doubled in size under his guid-ance, according to Connections.

Pfeiffer, w h o h a s worked as the first dep-uty commis-sioner for the Chicago Department of Family and Sup-port Ser-vices since 2011 , has worked with nonprofits for about 25 years , Loellbach said. Before h i s t i m e

at the department, Pfeiffer served for seven years as executive direc-tor and CEO of Inspiration Corp., a Chicago-based corporation that

CONGRESSIONAL CAT Former congressman and Northwestern alumnus Brad Schneider discusses foreign policy, security issues in the United States and the 2016 presidential elections. The event took place in the McCormick Foundation Center on Thursday.

By HAL JINthe daily northwestern @apricityhal

Former U.S. Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.), a Northwestern alumnus, hosted a Q&A session Thursday about foreign policy, his experience as a congressman and the state of U.S. politics.

Schneider (McCormick ’83, Kellogg ’88) represented Illinois’

10th congressional district from 2013 to 2015. The self-identified liberal Democrat spoke to about 30 people at the McCormick Founda-tion Center.

The event was sponsored by Wildcats for Israel, College Demo-crats and Fiedler Hillel.

“NU personifies the Midwest val-ues of hard work. There’s a certain humility here,” Schneider said. “I’m not so confident that I don’t know I can be wrong, but I’m confident

enough to not have to prove you wrong.”

That enabled him to work with people toward finding a middle ground, he said.

Schneider received a B.S. in industrial engineering from NU, which Quentin Heilbroner, presi-dent of College Democrats, joked was “a natural path to Congress.”

Mark Leibovich, chief national correspondent for The New York Times Magazine and best-selling author spoke Thursday night as part of Northwestern’s Contempo-rary Thought Speaker Series.

Leibovich, who lives and reports in Washington, D.C., discussed his experiences reporting about politi-cians’ public lives in the nation’s capital.

“When you’re dealing with politicians, they are most likely to be closest to their communica-tions people, their press people, their image-making, ad-making types,” he said. “More so — usu-ally, not always — than their policy people.”

Leibovich is the author of “This Town” and “Citizens of the Green Room.”

He told to the audience of about 50 in Annenberg Hall about inter-viewing key political personalities like Hillary Clinton, John McCain and Mitt Romney.

“I was thinking about how to make this discussion more timely and my thoughts immediately jumped to Mitt Romney,” Leibo-vich said. “This is a weird situation. I had a story on him in September that was driven in part by this era of good feelings that was oddly bub-bling up around him.”

Leibovich shared comical and serious anecdotes of his interviews with the presidential runner-up for the September article, in which Romney neither confirmed nor rejected the rumor that he was going to run for the presidential

office for a third time.He also talked about how Rom-

ney asked to have every part of the conversation recorded, in order to remind him that everything he says is on record, emphasizing how important public presentation is for powerful Washington leaders.

According to Leibovich, Greg Whiteley’s Netflix documentary “Mitt” is a fair representation of the double life political figures must lead in order to face both the public and their personal circle.

“(The documentary) got me thinking about the dichotomy between the public life that we see and the public figures as they really exist,” he said. “That goes to one of the essential gaps between how people really are and how they want to be perceived. That is sort of the

Speakers discuss housing segregationBy KEVIN MATHEWdaily senior staffer @kevinwmathew

The Illinois Holocaust Museum and Educa-tion Center hosted more than 120 people for a lecture and discussion on racial segregation and economic disparity Thursday night.

David Stovall, a professor at University of Illinois at Chicago, and Gail Schechter, the executive director of Open Communities, spoke at the Skokie event about the economic and educational impact of segregated hous-ing, which was co-sponsored by the YWCA Evanston/North Shore and the museum’s “Race: Are We So Different?” exhibit.

Stovall, who told The Daily his expertise came from complimentary backgrounds in academia and in hands-on work in high schools, spoke first.

He claimed wealth accumulation is the key variable in black communities and spoke about the historical case study of North Lawn-dale in west Chicago, where a black popula-tion replaced a Jewish one.

He said he disagreed with people such as economists Paul Krugman and Thomas Piketty. Piketty’s book “Capital in the Twenty-First Century” argues inequality is a natural byproduct of wealth accumulation, whereas Stovall claimed that racial wealth disparity has often been intentionally manufactured.

Schechter supported Stovall’s message but focused more on local housing. She advocated intentional action by the government to undo entrenched inequalities.

“Because racial segregation was created by deliberate policies, (we need) social engineer-ing to get out of that,” she said.

Schechter spoke about what she called the “Dorian Gray” effect, where the suburban “Wilmette brand” only has value when juxta-posed against poorer neighborhoods.

“You can’t have extreme wealth without extreme poverty,” Schechter told The Daily after the lecture.

Each culture needs to be accepting of integrated communities before change can be effective, she said. However, widespread myths about integration impede change, she added.

“They have to know it won’t hurt their pocketbooks,” she said. “(Integration will) help their children.”

She said throughout her experience with Open Communities, an organization that pro-motes ethnically and economically diverse neighborhoods in Evanston and north subur-ban Chicago, she has seen how racially based housing segregation is.

“Race trumps class,” Schecter said. “Very much your skin color matters.”

A Q&A followed the lecture.State Rep. Robyn Gabel (D-Evanston) asked

the last question of the night. She thanked the

two speakers for their work, insisted that edu-cation is both mis-funded and under-funded and asked for concrete solu-tions to the problems discussed.

Stovall gave three solutions: revisit the student assessment sys tem, ab ol i sh Teach For America or other programs he said served mostly as feeders to law school

and end the edTPA, a system he said evaluates teachers by a taped video of one class. With-out context, the teachers with backgrounds similar to their students will be filtered out, which “keeps teachers white” he said.

Schechter said the Illinois Affordable Housing Planning and Appeal Act needs a stronger bite against slow implementation.

Stovall also proposed ending mayoral control over democratically elected school boards. He told The Daily areas that need the most help should have teachers who are both highly qualified and connect with students.

“You need to understand political economy of place, but they also need the skills,” he said.

Noninvasive test for Alzheimer’s developedBy RACHEL YANGthe daily northwestern @_rachelyang

A team of Northwestern researchers has devel-oped the first noninvasive method of detecting Alzheimer’s disease in a living animal. This approach can detect the disease before early symptoms appear using an MRI probe.

“Right now there is no (early, noninvasive) way to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease precisely and accu-rately,” said William Klein, a Weinberg professor of neurobiology who led the research team along with Vinayak Dravid, a McCormick professor of materials science and engineering.

Klein said even though methods like spinal taps, in which the spinal fluid of the patient is drawn out, can diagnose Alzheimer’s, “nobody really wants to go in for their bi-annual spinal tap.”

The MRI approach is preferable because it is non-invasive and has no radiation, Dravid said.

In 1998, Klein and another team of researchers were the first to discover the toxin they believe causes Alzheimer’s disease. His and Dravid’s team developed an MRI probe that uses a combination of a magnetic nanostructure (MNS) and an antibody to attach to the toxin.

This development, published in the December 2014 edition of the journal “Nature Nanotechnology,” is potentially groundbreaking for numerous reasons, Dravid and Klein said.

“If indeed (the toxin) turns out to be the culprit, then this is one of the biggest things that has hap-pened to Alzheimer’s diagnosis,” Dravid said.

In addition, the development is revolutionary for the study of other diseases like Parkinson’s disease, where specific proteins in the brain also accumulate to become toxins.

Dravid, who was responsible for developing the MNS and looking at the MRI, said this development is also promising for future collaboration between

scientists of different backgrounds.One of the reasons researchers from various dis-

ciplines were able to come together was thanks to NU’s resources, Dravid said.

“Northwestern is truly the vanguard of this con-cept of working at the interface of nanoscience,” Dravid said.

Kirsten Viola, a research lab manager who was involved with the project, cited many NU resources as being integral to the project’s success, including a state-of-the-art Tesla MRI scanner and the Atomic

Nanoscale Characteriza-tion Experimental Cen-ter, where Dravid is the director.

For now, the research-ers’ goal is to develop more extensively an anti-body that can be used for diagnostics and therapeu-tics on human patients, as their experiments thus far were conducted on mice and brain tissues of deceased Alzheimer’s patients. Klein said his team has been developing for eight years a human-ized antibody that can target, neutralize and remove the toxins from

patients with Alzheimer’s disease. With the right funding and research, Klein said he hopes to get the approach to the clinic or in trials within two years.

Klein said he knows this is not far from the future.

“It’s not like you can go to Walgreens and say, ‘Give me a test for Alzheimer’s,’” Klein said. “But the idea is, 10 years from now, when your parents might want to go take the test like that, it should be available.”

MAKING WAY The construction fence near the new Music and Communication Building is scheduled to be taken down on Friday, Deborah Burkhart, a Facilities Management project manager, announced in an email Thursday.

The building, which is still closed for construction, is located along the lakefront on the southeastern end of campus. Burkhart said once the fence is down, Facilities Management will continue maintenance on the road and sidewalks near the building. However, the road, sidewalks and walking path along the lakefront will be open to the public.

The area south of Pick-Staiger Concert Hall and between the building and the Virginia Wadsworth Wirtz Center for the Performing Arts, previously known as the Theatre and Interpretation Center, will also be converted into an outdoor area.

City plans events honoring Martin Luther King Jr.By BILLY KOBINthe daily northwestern

Several events starting this weekend will honor Martin Luther King Jr. through music, speeches and discussions at different centers throughout Evanston.

Activities will begin Saturday at the Fleet-wood-Jourdain Community Center, 1655 Foster St. The center will host an event titled “Day of Celebration Honoring the Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.”

Betsy Jenkins, Fleetwood-Jourdain’s man-ager, said 150 to 200 people are expected to

attend the event featuring music, dance, guest artists and speakers centered around King and his mission.

Events will continue Sunday at the Evanston Public Library, 1703 Orrington Ave.

The Evanston Art Center and Insight Arts will host members of We Charge Genocide, a Chicago-based activist group that organizes against police violence, to speak at the event held at the library.

The group was involved in organizing Chi-cago protests following the St. Louis County grand jury decision not to indict Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson in the fatal shooting of black teenager Michael Brown.

Keith Brown, Evanston Art Center’s director of education, said he hopes people feel inspired after listening to We Charge Genocide.

“(Today) there are thousands of Martin Luther Kings in everybody’s city,” Brown said.

In addition, the library will host the “11 Months Wrap Up Celebration” to conclude 11 months of programming at EPL that focused on African-American culture.

Monday will be filled with community events. Y.O.U.’s 9th Annual Diverse Communi-ties United program will begin in the morning at the Music Institute of Chicago, 1490 Chicago Ave. This event will include songs, dances and other art pieces all performed by youth.

Other events on Monday include a show-ing of two children’s movies relating to King at EPL. At 3 p.m., Rev. Eddie Reeves will deliver an interpretation of King’s “I Have A Dream” speech.

EPL director Karen Danczak Lyons said the library wants to remember King’s work and legacy on his birthday.

Northwestern has its own events planned to celebrate King, beginning with a day of a service on Saturday during which students can volunteer at sites throughout Evanston and Chicago.

Study finds eczema patients engage in more risky behavior

A new Northwestern Medicine study found that adults with eczema are more likely to have higher rates of smoking, drinking alcoholic beverages and obesity than their counterparts without the skin disease.

Those who engage in these types of behav-iors are more likely to suffer from other health problems, such as cardiovascular dis-ease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and insomnia.

“This disease takes a huge emotional toll on its sufferers, like chronic pain,” lead author Dr. Jonathan Silverberg, said in a news release. “Because eczema often starts in early childhood, people are affected all through their developmental years and adolescence.”

About 10 percent of U.S. adults have the disease. Silverberg said patients with eczema are more likely to engage in risky behaviors because of the stigma around the disease and the frequency of low self-esteem in those who suffer from it.

Eczema patients are also less likely to engage in regular physical activity, which contributes to higher rates of obesity. Sil-verberg said this is because sweat and heat can inflame the skin and add to the itching

sensation eczema patients experience.Silverberg said the study shows dermatol-

ogists should focus on their patients’ lifestyle habits in addition to their disease.

“This opens our eyes in the world of der-matology that we’re not just treating chronic inflammation of the skin but the behavioral, lifestyle side of things,” Silverberg said.

The study looked at data for over 27,000 and 34,000 adults aged 18 to 85 years from the 2010 and 2012 National Health Interview Survey, respectively.

The study reported eczema patients had “54 percent higher odds of being morbidly obese, 48 percent higher odds of hyperten-sion, up to 93 percent higher odds of having pre-diabetes and up to 42 percent higher odds of having diabetes.”

Dermatologists should intervene if an eczema patient has an alcohol or smoking problem, Silverberg said. He is also work-ing with the department of physical therapy and movement sciences to develop a way for eczema patients to exercise without their condition flaring up.

An assistant professor of dermatology in the Feinberg School of Medicine and a dermatologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Silverberg coauthored the study with Feinberg Prof. Philip Greenland. The study was published Jan. 8 in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.

Mather LifeWays receives awards for health, research

An Evanston-based organization that focuses on better living for older adults recently received two awards, the organization announced earlier this month.

Mather LifeWays, a 73-year-old nonprofit orga-nization, serves more than 40,000 older adults per year through living residences, community outreach and Mather LifeWays Institute on Aging, a research-ing division that provides information on wellness, educational programming and aging innovations, according to Mather LifeWays and the organization’s website.

The organization was named the recipient of Illi-nois’ Healthiest Midsize Employer for the second year. Mather LifeWays has more than 500 employees, according to the organization.

“Our commitment to serving older adults is equaled only by our commitment to our employ-ees,” said Mary Leary, president and CEO, in a news release. “We believe that taking extraordinary care of our employees translates into extraordinary experi-ences for residents and customers.”

The Institute received the 2014 Excellence in Research and Education Award by LeadingAge, an aging-focused association.

It received this award for its contributions includ-ing evidence-based research and education programs, according to LeadingAge in the news release.

I’ve been listening to teachers tell me not to use Wikipedia since fourth grade. Yes-terday, looking at a slide that advised using podcasts and blogs for research but warned against the evils of Wikipedia, something inside me snapped. I have had enough.

Wikipedia is imperfect. Everybody knows about its flaws. Anyone can edit it anony-mously. There are unquestionable factual inaccuracies. Not every Wikipedia page is amazing. High school teachers and college professors love to note these truisms to students as if they’re breaking new ground and imparting wisdom. In point of fact, they sound silly.

I’m here to defend Wikipedia, which has been unfairly cast off by much of an academic community that tends to focus more on the “wiki” than the “pedia.” The truth of the mat-ter is there are few, if any, resources that rep-resent better jumping off points for research. The website contains an unbelievable amount of information, is easily accessible and, more often than not, is sourced comprehensively. The page on the Vietnam War, for example, has more than 400 references. Wikipedia covers a far broader assembly of subjects than any encyclopedia you could find in a library. It covers those subjects in far greater depth than any print encyclopedia. Further, it is usually more up-to-date than any print encyclopedia. In short, the most popular encyclopedia on the web is better than any other competitor.

The very existence of Wikipedia has allowed humans to learn more, and more

quickly, than would ever be possible prior to the digital age. When you want to find out who the 22nd president was, you open up Wikipedia (It’s Grover Cleveland; I just checked). When you want to find out what the tallest building in North America is, you open up Wikipedia. Why? Because Wikipe-dia combines expediency with an incredible accuracy rate.

When I stumble across factually incorrect information (and I say this as someone who spends copious amounts of time on Wikipe-dia), the errors are usually immaterial and minor. Additionally, these errors are usually on pages that probably should not even exist because they receive so little traffic. Try mess-ing up President Obama’s Wikipedia page. I’m sure you can. Anyone can edit Wikipedia. But the error will be fixed in moments.

Wikipedia has an incredibly active com-munity of folks all over the world constantly editing, adding to and fixing its pages. It’s not

always perfect. But it’s pretty close.To clarify, I am not advocating that

research papers should suddenly be littered with citations of Wikipedia. If there is any question about a “fact” that you find on Wiki-pedia, it should be corroborated with other sources. But I would argue that is true of any fact from any website. There’s misinformation all over the web. You can find it on Wikipedia. You can find it in blogs. You can even find it on the websites of major newspapers. I’m not equating Wikipedia to The New York Times, but I am saying Wikipedia is an outstanding resource.

Wikipedia should never be where academic research ends. As a place to start, though, it is hard to top.

As the days until 2015 ticked down over Winter Break, I began to think about what the new year would mean to me. I had images in my head of making some last special North-western memories and graduating in a purple cap and gown. Inevitably, this led to excited thinking about what notable figure or celeb-rity would speak and give me advice while I donned said cap and gown.

With commencement in mind, I created a list of four speakers I believe NU students would love to see speak at our ceremony. Most of my suggestions are NU alumni. Although many good commencement speeches are given each year by speakers who are not affili-ated with the schools they speak at, there is something special about alumni returning to their school. Plus, NU has so many talented and hilarious alumni who would make great commencement speakers.

And now, without further ado, and in no particular order, here are my suggestions for commencement speakers. NU administrators, please take note:

1. Oprah Winfrey

I know she’s not an alumna, but Oprah is Chicago, and anyone who knows me knows I am obsessed with Oprah. I was devastated when I found out her show would end in early 2011, ruining my plans for buying tickets to

the live show when I became an NU student.Oprah knows how to give graduating

students advice — she gave advice on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” for years. She has a his-tory of giving great commencement speeches at Harvard University, Howard University and Spelman College. And you know that your mom and grandmother would be so happy to hear Oprah will be speaking. Oprah is an icon, an inspiration, and I hope NU would consider making her a commencement speaker and making my dream come true.

2. Seth Meyers

Wildcats are taking over late night televi-sion with Seth Meyers (Communication ’96) already hosting “Late Night” and Stephen Col-bert (Communication ’86) taking over David Letterman’s “The Late Show” in late August or early September. Colbert gave a hilarious commencement address the year before I came to NU, and if history is any indication, we know Seth Meyers has similar strong comedic chops. Meyers is also loyal to NU, having served as Homecoming grand marshal my freshman year. He could bring some much needed attention and celebrity power to NU’s commencement, which is often neglected because it happens so late in the year.

3. Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Technically, Julia Louis-Dreyfus did not actually graduate from NU (she left to go to “Saturday Night Live” her senior year), but she did receive an honorary degree later, so I suppose we can call her an alumna. Much like Seth Meyers, she would bring humor

to commencement and please family of all ages with comedic chops perfected on “SNL,” “Veep” and “Seinfeld.” She was also featured in NU’s alumni magazine recently and was quoted saying, “I have great pride about hav-ing gone to Northwestern,” a perfect statement for a future commencement speaker to make. She spoke at commencement in 2007, but I am not against bucking the trend and having a great commencement speaker come back again.

4. William Daniels (aka Mr. Feeny from “Boy Meets World”)

Who better to receive life advice from than the man who played the kind and wise Mr. Feeny on “Boy Meets World?” William Daniels (Communication ’50) has an impres-sive list of roles, both in and outside of film, including “The Graduate,” “St. Elsewhere,” “Knight Rider” and “Boy Meets World.” He could also speak to NU students about leader-ship from his experiences as president of the Screen Actors Guild from 1999-2001. NU even created an award in his honor: the Wil-lies, for excellence in theater.

His appeal spans multiple generations of students, parents and grandparents. I think the ultimate conclusion of my column is that if anyone were perfect for the role of com-mencement speaker, it would be William Daniels.

Improving science, technology, engineering and math education is a top priority for the Obama administration. Among the goals of the president’s STEM initiative are developing American students’ scientific critical thinking abilities and closing the gap in STEM competency between foreign and American students. While developing STEM education is a laudable goal for the U.S. government, recent senato-rial appointments contradict the STEM initiative by placing a scientifically inept politician at the forefront of space and environmental policy.

Ted Cruz, R-Texas, an opponent of NASA funding, a denier of scientific consensus and by extension a thorn in the side of the president’s vision of competi-tiveness, was appointed the Chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Space, Science, and Competitive-ness on Jan. 8. The hypocrisy of the appointment is staggering. Cruz has referred to climate change as a “so-called scientific theory,” a statement that raises an easily-answered question: Who called it a scientific theory?

Nearly all climate scientists agree that climate change is happening now, that it is largely man-made and that it poses serious problems for our world. According to a NASA report, Cruz’s statements on the subject fly in the face of research from the American Association for the Advancement of Sci-ence, the American Chemical Society, the American Geophysical Union, the American Medical Asso-ciation, the American Meteorological Society, the American Physical Society, The Geological Society of America, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the U.S. Global Change Research Program and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. In a coincidental irony clearly lost on Cruz, referring to climate change as a “so-called scientific theory” is a strong statement in support of it.

The Common Core sixth grade science standards require that students are able to “distinguish among facts, reasoned judgment based on research findings, and speculation in a text.” Cruz, of course, missed the boat on the standards, a fact that his utter disregard of rigorous scientific conclusions based on empirical evi-dence demonstrates. Dissecting the senator’s quotes, while a morbidly entertaining exercise, distracts from the enormity of his very real power.

Cruz’s position places him at the head of the Sub-committee on Space, Science, and Competitiveness. Despite his limited grasp of science, he is no stranger to opposing its advance. In 2013, he attempted to skewer NASA’s funding. Complicating the matter fur-ther is the fact that Cruz is a senator for Texas, home to the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center — which itself is home to 15,000 sweet, sweet American jobs.

Whether or not space exploration and science will make America globally competitive, their financial starvation will be detrimental. NASA research has led to countless technological breakthroughs, includ-ing lightweight breathing apparatuses for firefighters, safer school bus chassis and the pumping mechanism for artificial hearts, GPS systems.

The appointment of Cruz to a subcommittee chair-manship for which he is undeniably unfit is a small piece of a much larger puzzle — a systemically flawed American Congress. The Senate does not reflect the current administration’s priority to improve scientific education, much less the priorities of the people who voted it into power.

Parents, students scramble to fill out federal college aid FAFSA forms

MILWAUKEE — For the past three years, Teresa Piraino has diligently filled out the federal appli-cation for financial aid for her son Anthony, who is studying criminal justice at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

In the next few weeks, the Pirainos will scramble to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid again — this time for two kids, as daughter Jessica plans to study nursing at Alverno College in the fall.

“I want to get right on it,” Teresa Piraino said of the online form known as FAFSA, which becomes accessible every Jan. 1. “The stakes are high and I want to get the most we can because I can’t give them the money they’ll need.”

With the cost of college escalating — and with it, student debt — no one wants to leave money on the table.

But for many families, procrastinating on filing FAFSA may mean missing out on thousands of dollars in Federal Work-Study, low-interest Fed-eral Perkins Loans and the Wisconsin Grant for state residents — all need-based aid awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. When the limited pool of money is gone, students who otherwise would qualify are out of luck, and are left with higher-interest federal and private loans that can pile up debt.

A low-income student potentially could leave more than $6,000 on the table in first-come, first-served money that doesn’t have to be paid back or that can be repaid at a lower interest rate than other available loans, according to financial aid officials at several Wisconsin universities.

Students who don’t file FAFSA at all could also miss out on Federal Pell Grants —scholarships of up to $5,645 that they do not have to pay back.

About 2 million students who would have quali-fied for a Pell grant missed out a few years ago — the most recent data available — because they didn’t file FAFSA, according to data from the 2011-’12 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study.

Of those students, 1.3 million would have quali-fied for a full Pell grant valued at $5,730 for the 2014-’15 academic year, according to Mark Kan-trowitz, senior vice president at Edvisors Network and author of “Filing the FAFSA.”

FAFSA also is required for middle-class families who may qualify for scholarships or school-based financial aid at colleges that don’t use their own supplemental aid forms.

FAFSA, which must be filed every year finan-cial aid is requested, requires copies of income taxes and asks for information such as the stu-dent’s Social Security number, family income, family size and the number of family members attending college.

Many don’t file the 10-page, 108-question online form early enough — or at all —because they find

it intimidating, they’re procrastinators or they assume they earn too much money to qualify for financial aid, according to financial aid directors.

Two key federal lawmakers charged with over-seeing the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act in the U.S. Senate last summer proposed sim-plifying the federal student aid system, including reducing FAFSA to a form the size of a postcard that would ask only about family size and house-hold income from two years ago.

“That’s going overboard,” said David Ehlinger, an accountant who lives in Evansville and has twin daughters in Wisconsin public colleges. “There are other questions that need to be answered,” he said, “such as whether it’s earned or unearned income, and do you pay child support, which is not on tax returns but is taken into consideration by FAFSA.”

For those eager to tackle FAFSA, the form can be filed with estimated 2014 income tax information.

Some schools, including UW-Madison, prefer families wait until after they have filed their tax returns so they don’t have to revise the FAFSA numbers later.

Those not eager to pay the government money owed in income taxes can still fill out tax returns early to complete FAFSA. They have until April 15 to pay any tax money owed.

UWM, which awards aid to about 80 percent of its 30,000 students, is among the schools that award on a first-come, first-served basis.

This year, UWM is trying something new to get more students to file FAFSA by March 1. A campus call center set up for admissions representatives to

reach out to students who have been admitted will also encourage FAFSA filing.

Continuing students who file by March 1 will be eligible for a raffle with prizes such as a financial aid grant. Less than half the university’s continuing students who apply for financial aid do so by March 1, according to Mark Levine, interim director of financial aid.

UWM awarded $2.6 million in Perkins loans to about 1,800 undergrad and graduate students for the current academic year. The maximum award is $2,000 a year, Levine said.

“We could probably give out double that num-ber, in terms of who qualifies,” Levine said.

UWM gave out $1.6 million in work study to about 600 students, averaging $2,500 per student.

“There are a lot of students who are eligible for all three _ Perkins, work study and Wisconsin Grant,” Levine said.

The Wisconsin Grants for state residents are capped at $2,384. UWM this year awarded $12.8 million in Wisconsin Grants to about 6,650 stu-dents, Levine said.

Lawrence University contacts families who haven’t filed FAFSA by a certain date to make sure they don’t miss out on aid, said Ken Anselment, dean of admissions and financial aid.

In September, the university announced that it had received an anonymous $25 million matching gift to establish an endowed scholarship to help meet its goal of providing 100 percent of the unmet financial needs of future Lawrence students. It’s the largest gift in the university’s history.

The Zaffiros of Milwaukee aren’t leaving

anything to chance in their college search or the quest for the best financial aid.

They planned to tackle FAFSA right after the first of the year to be among the first in line for whatever financial aid Emily Zaffiro, a senior at Pius XI High School, qualifies for at the college she chooses to attend.

“It’s going to play a role in her decision about where she’s going to college,” said Emily’s dad, Jim Zaffiro. “I don’t want her to have a huge amount of debt.”

UW-Madison won’t start awarding financial aid until final income tax information from 2014 is available, typically mid-February through mid-March. The flagship university awards aid in waves so later applicants don’t miss out.

About 60 percent of UW-Madison’s students receive some type of financial aid, according to Susan Fischer, the school’s financial aid director.

Fischer said one way to reduce the pressure for financial aid dependence is to discuss family finances long before a student applies to colleges.

Universities have net price calculators on their websites to offer an estimate of financial aid fami-lies can expect.

“Parents need to talk to their high school kids early to be realistic about what they can afford,” Fischer said.

Duke University cancels Muslim prayer calls from church bell tower

DURHAM, N.C. — Duke University canceled plans Thursday to broadcast the Muslim call to prayer once a week fromthe iconic Duke Chapel, a move that was intended to reflect the school’s commitment to religious pluralism but instead sparked controversy.

“Duke remains committed to fostering an inclusive, tolerant and welcoming campus for all of its students,” said Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government rela-tions. “However, it was clear that what was con-ceived as an effort to unify was not having the intended effect.”

Instead, Muslim students will gather outside the chapel, where interfaith programs are typi-cally held, and move to their regular location in the chapel basement for prayers.

Previous plans called forthe chant, known as the adhan, to be recited by members of the school’s Muslim Students Association. The call was to begin Friday from a “moderately amplified” chapel loudspeaker.

The original announcement drew the ire of North Carolina evangelist Franklin Graham, the son of evangelist Billy Graham, who took to Face-book to denounce the school for embracing Islam at a time when Muslim extremists are attacking the West.

Obama moves will open Cuba to more travel, commerce

WASHINGTON – The Obama administra-tion announced new rules Thursday that will greatly expand the leeway American travelers have to travel to Cuba, allow more trade between the former adversaries and make it easier to do business with Cuba.

The new rules chip away at the U.S. trade embargo, part of President Barack Obama’s deci-sion to re-establish diplomatic relations with Cuba. Talks to begin the process are scheduled next week in Havana.

“These changes will immediately enable the American people to provide more resources to empower the Cuban population to become less dependent upon the state-driven economy, and help facilitate our growing relationship with the Cuban people,” said White House press secretary Josh Earnest.

Advocates of more commerce cheered the new rules, from farm state politicians to big business.

“Amending these regulations is not just about increasing commercial ties for agriculture pro-ducers in Kansas and across the country. I believe closer ties could help change the nature of the relationship between the Cuban people and their repressive government,” said Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan.

“They will permit U.S. businesses to begin getting to know Cuba and also enable busi-nesses and private citizens to engage directly with the Cuban people,” said Jake Colvin, vice president for global trade issues for the National Foreign Trade Council, a lobby for multinational corporations.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., led the charge of critics saying the new regulations would enrich Cuba’s dictators, not its people.

“This is a windfall for the Castro regime that will be used to fund its repression against Cubans,” Rubio said, “as well as its activities against U.S. national interests in Latin America and beyond.”

The Obama administration said the new travel and trade would help ordinary people.

“Basically the whole effect is to enable average Cubans, to give them greater opportunities to essentially operate outside of being dependent on the Cuban state,” said a senior U.S. official who spoke only on the condition of anonymity as a

matter of policy, along with other administration officials quoted for this story.

Lawyers are still digesting the faster-than-expected rules, but here’s a sample of what com-merce between the countries might look like: A private Cuban farmer who grows coffee will be able to import roasting equipment from the United States, a Cuban fashion designer could sell her clothes to a Miami boutique and a U.S. company could send paint and building sup-plies to a Cuban who wants to build a home or repair one.

Bob Guild, vice president of Florida-based Marazul Charters, said the company was inun-dated with calls Thursday. “People think that anyone can go to Cuba anytime now, and that is not true,” he said.

The changes mean that travelers who fall into any of 12 pre-established categories will no lon-ger need to apply for licenses to travel to Cuba.

The categories include family visits, official U.S. or foreign governments, journalism, pro-fessional research and professional meetings; educational activities; religious activities; public performances, clinics, workshops, athletic and other competitions, exhibitions; support for the Cuban people; humanitarian projects; private foundations or research, educational institutes; export, import or transmission of information.

These travelers still will need to obtain visas from the Cuban government, but none of them will have to seek prior approval for trips from the U.S.

Guild said he expected limited vetting by travel agents of whether travelers actually fall into the 12 categories, though the rules say that only legal travel is allowed. A person couldn’t attend a geologists’ conference, for example, just because he or she had a passing interest in rocks.

“The rules say they have to have an established professional interest. It can’t just be casual inter-est,” he said.

The changes do pave the way for restoring daily flights eventually between Cuba and the United States, presumably from South Florida. That would require action from the Depart-ment of Transportation, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of Home-land Security.

“I could foresee that over time, as the Depart-ment of Transportation and the Department of Homeland Security are able to implement their required steps, it is possible under these (regu-latory) steps,” said a second administration

official.The U.S. also is raising the limit on cash remit-

tances to Cuban nationals other than certain prohibited Cuban government and Cuban Com-munist Party officials, from the current $500 per quarter to $2,000.

Authorized U.S. travelers to Cuba will be allowed to import up to $400 worth of goods acquired in Cuba for personal use, up from $100. Alcohol and tobacco products are limited to no more than $100.

A box of quality Cuban cigars, however, sells for more than $100, and the second official said the limit was not a coincidence.

“We thought it made sense to permit an open-ing, but not an opening greater than $100 for alcohol and tobacco products,” the official said, suggesting a higher limit might have benefited the Castro regime.

Another important change is removing a requirement that the Cuban government pay for humanitarian food shipments before they’re sent. This will make it easier for U.S. farmers to export to Cuba. The White House said U.S. farmers sent about $300 million in exports to the island last year.

“We, in the licensing process, actually autho-rized about $3 billion worth of (farm) exports, so there is a big gap between what we autho-rized and what is actually exported,” said a third administration official, highlighting what will be an opportunity for American farmers.

Even with the easing, the overall trade embargo remains in place, and the administra-tion said it had gone as far as it could go unless Congress acted to remove it.

Texas urges U.S. judge to delay Obama immigration shift

BROWNSVILLE, Texas — Federal immigra-tion officials will be breaking the law if they carry out President Barack Obama’s executive order to let at least 4 million undocumented immigrants stay in the country, attorneys for Texas argued as they urged a U.S. judge to block the policy now while he decides whether it’s legal.

Texas, joined by half the states, asked U.S. Dis-trict Judge Andrew Hanen at a hearing Thursday in Brownsville to block Obama’s immigration policy until they’ve had a chance to fully chal-lenge it in court. Hanen didn’t issue a ruling.

“The president does not get to decide what the

law is,” Andrew Oldham, an attorney for Texas, told Hanen at the hearing.

Obama’s Nov. 20 order grants quasi-legal status to more than a third of the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants already in the U.S. Undocumented immigrants must have been in the country for more than five years or have a child who is a U.S. citizen, or have been brought here themselves as children, to qualify for U.S. work permits and be protected from deportation under the new policy. They must also pass a criminal background check.

Thursday’s hearing follows the Jan. 14 vote in the Republican-led U.S. House of Representa-tives to slash funding for the immigration pro-grams at the heart of Obama’s policy.

At issue in court is whether the president can “unilaterally suspend federal immigration laws,” create a “massive” bureaucracy and hand out millions of dollars in benefits, and then insulate that decision from review “by any court at any time by calling it executive action,” Oldham said. “States representing half of this country say he cannot.”

A dozen more U.S. states, in court papers filed last week, urged Hanen, whose courthouse is less than a mile from the Mexican border, to reject attacks on the president’s immigration order. States backing Obama say the policy will benefit the economy, law enforcement and immigrant families.

Texas filed its case at the state’s southernmost tip, where issues concerning illegal immigra-tion have dominated headlines for more than a year. Brownsville has a front-row seat to the “humanitarian crisis” that has swept more than 1,000 undocumented immigrants a day — many of them unaccompanied children — across its border in the past year, according to the states’ complaint.

“We’re where the rubber meets the road,” Hanen told lawyers Thursday. “Within a few miles of this courthouse, there are prob-ably thousands of illegal aliens doing nothing more than trying to make a better life for their families.”

Unless Hanen blocks them, immigration offi-cials will soon begin processing paperwork to protect certain immigrants from deportation and provide them with temporary work per-mits and some federal benefits including Social Security and Medicare, a process the states say will be tough to stop once it starts.

helps individuals affected by homelessness and poverty, according to Connections.

“John comes to us with a wonderful back-ground, both in non-profit management and in homeless services,” Abbey Fishman Romanek, president of Connections’ board of directors, said in the news release. “Connec-tions will miss Paul greatly, but we feel much better knowing that his successor is so well qualified for this challenging position.”

Loellbach said Connections’ staff has not been able to sit down with Pfeiffer yet to plan the organization’s next steps.

“Paul has really built up a lot of momen-tum in our programs and we’re really poised to jump into a bunch of new things,” she said. “John is aware of all those and I think is really excited about carrying that momen-tum forward.”

Selden said there are two areas of

Connections that need expansion in the future. One area is helping homeless fami-lies with children in school. There needs to be a program developed for these families in areas throughout northern Cook County, not just in Evanston, he said. The second area is finishing a program to help homeless youth who have left their families, he said.

Connections is ready to expand into other areas outside Evanston and the communi-ties the organization already has served, he said.

However, although Selden is retiring from Connections, he will still work to solve home-lessness and housing issues, Loellbach said. Selden will still work in consulting and advo-cacy for other organizations and will at times still provide guidance to Connections.

“I’ll miss the staff, I’ll miss the clients, the challenge of seeing if we can’t do a better job about ending homelessness,” Selden said.

Former Northwestern goalie selected in Major League Soccer draft

Following a whirlwind few weeks for his draft stock, former Northwestern goalie Tyler Miller was taken 33rd overall by the Seattle Sounders in Thurs-day’s MLS SuperDraft.

An All-America Second Team and three-time All-Big Ten First Team selection, Miller was a menace in the Midwest during his college career. The goalkeeper allowed a measly 0.86 goals against average in his freshman season and remained around that mark in his next two years, before posting an insane 0.58 goals against average in his senior season this fall. That average easily led the Big Ten.

Miller’s selection in the draft came as no surprise to Wildcats coach Tim Lenahan.

“(Tyler) has a very professional approach,” he said. “Tyler has that presence where a team plays well behind him.”

Miller had actually been projected weeks ago as a top-10 pick in the draft, which would make his spot at No. 33— firmly in the second round — a major surprise. But recently, the 21-year-old decided he would forgo an invite to the MLS Player Combine and instead travel to Germany for club trials.

A risky venture? Possibly. Europe contains some of the world’s top soccer talent and there is no guarantee that Miller makes his way there. In the meantime, Miller’s flirtation overseas predictably worried some MLS teams, dropping his stock in the draft. Some even pondered that he would drop from potential top-10 pick all the way to the undrafted pile.

But for Lenahan, Miller’s jump to Europe was the logical next step for a goalkeeper who Lenahan said wants to be great.

“I know (Tyler’s) aspirations are to play at the high-est level,” Lenahan said. “Is the path to start at a lower level in Germany and work your way up? Is the path to start in the MLS? … There’s a couple different ways to attack it.”

Schneider because many members of College Democrats worked with Schneider during his campaign. Schneider lost a bid for re-election in 2014 to Rep. Bob Dold (R-Ill.). Heilbroner said he finds Schneider’s transition out of Con-gress interesting.

“He served a very successful term and lost by almost nothing,” Heilbroner said. “Where do you go from there?”

November’s midterm election saw the Republican Party extend its majority in the House of Representatives and take control of the Senate. Schneider was a member of the Frontline Program, enacted by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to help vulnerable incumbent Democrats.

“I loved the job, but hated the campaign,” Schneider said. “If we had done everything we had done well twice as well, eliminated all mistakes, we still would’ve lost.”

Schneider said he has not decided whether to run in 2016 and currently does not have plans for the near future.

This news disappointed Des Plaines resident Wayne Serbin, who came to see the former congressman.

Although Serbin is a Republican from a

conservative area, he said he was interested in learning whether Schneider would run in 2016.

During the discussion, Schneider expressed dismay at the influence of money in politics, and said Citizens United was “destroying” the campaign process. He was referring to the Citizens United v. Federal Election Com-mission ruling, in which the Supreme Court decided that political spending limits are unconstitutional.

“If I could lead one message, don’t get frus-trated by the process, change the process,” Sch-neider said. “It’s too important not to.”

When asked how best to deal with Iran, Sch-neider advocated for well-structured sanctions. The U.S. government needs to ensure Iran never gets nuclear weapons, Schneider said, and there are many tools to do that.

Schneider acknowledged the risk of sanc-tions turning Iran away from talks, using a met-aphor of cats and dogs to explain his stance.

“If there’s a stray cat at the door, you’re quiet, you put out milk at the door, that’s an approach,” Schneider said. “Some think Iran is like a cat, and we have to be ginger. I think Iran’s a dog — a pit bull at that — and we have to be stern.”

gap that we as journalists live in.”Leibovich also shared anecdotes of the

times he asked what Clinton and McCain consider their least favorite state.

Clinton said she loved them all. McCain said he “would really hate to live in Milwaukee.”

“I remember saying, ‘Well, that’s not a state,’” Leibovich said to a laughing audience.

Leibovich was writing a story for The Washington Post about McCain. When he realized he had some space to fill, he decided to add McCain facts. One of them was his dislike for Milwaukee.

“I thought nothing (about it) and I’m sure he thought nothing about it… Until he ran for president in 2008 and Wisconsin was a swing state,” Leibovich said.

Leibovich then understood why Clinton didn’t pick favorites.

Joe Eichenbaum, Contemporary Thought Speaker Series chairman, said his group decided to invite Leibovich because it was looking for a speaker with a very contempo-rary take on a major issue.

“He’s really great at talking about Wash-ington today,” the Weinberg senior said. “He

touched on everything we wanted to hear about.”

Jonathan Cohen, a Weinberg senior who was at the event, said he enjoyed Leibovich’s stories.

“It really put into focus how politicians are trying to create (a) persona,” he said.

In an interview with The Daily, Lei-bovich spoke about overcoming the fear of interviewing Wash-ington’s “big guys.”

“I used to be a lot more nervous than I am,” he said. “One thing that reporters should keep in mind when they get nervous is that these people need you as much as you need them. You have great power hav-

ing a notebook, having a tape recorder. You shouldn’t forget that. It’s your story, you’re in control.”

Cats look to go undefeated at Western InvitationalBy KEVIN CASEYdaily senior staffer @KevinCasey19

The fall preseason was stellar for the Wildcats — even with some injuries. Head coach Laurie Schiller has already voiced high expectations for his squad, including winning every dual meet, a trip to the conference championship and a top-five finish at NCAAs.

The work toward those goals starts this week-end in Colorado Springs, Colorado, at the Western Invitational — the Cats’ opening event of the winter season.

The event has NU up against six other squads,

and Schiller is confident there will be no opening setbacks.

“This is a group of teams that are not really at our level based on past experience,” Schiller said. “A couple of them are pretty good, and if we come in flat they can beat us. But I don’t think that is going to happen.”

The Cats had no problems in dispatching their quintet of foes at last year’s Western Invitational. This time around, the competition is much the same, with Stanford, UC San Diego, Caltech and Air Force return-ing, and Duke and Brandeis the only newcomers.

NU’s success stems from a number of key areas, but two of the most important factors are balance and depth.

The team thrives by possessing a series of strong competitors in foil, sabre and epee. The Cats also don’t put too much focus on one of these three compart-ments. Schiller emphasized it’s important not to be too dependent on one of these categories in order to be less susceptible to falling apart.

Sophomore Cindy Oh, one of the team’s most pro-ductive sabre members, also points to a strong team chemistry in preventing collapses in competition.

“We definitely trust each other, which is important because it’s just so high-paced and everyone is scat-tered around, fencing on their own,” Oh said. “To have that trust between each other definitely helps,

and it’s motivational that we can all do well and get the win.”

This weekend’s event isn’t an affair of several highly ranked squads or a big end-of-season championship. Actually, besides its season-opening stature, the West-ern Invitational should be pretty innocuous to NU.

But for a team so dominant over the past 15 years, keeping up motivation is key. And there will be plenty this weekend.

“We’re a pretty strong squad,” sophomore Mandeep Bhinder said. “Some people underestimate us because we’re an only girls team. So I feel like us proving our-selves and beating the harder teams will show them that we’re not lower than them.”

Northwestern ready to take on Milwaukee on senior day

Coming off of a strong win over Notre Dame (2-4) last weekend, the Wildcats are confident going into Friday’s competition at home against Milwaukee (1-4, 0-3 Horizon League).

Coach Jarod Schroeder said he might not run the Cats’ best lineup against Milwaukee.

“They are a very good team, but I think we’ve got a little bit more depth than them,” Schroeder said. “I’m going to try to put some guys in positions where we can win some events and hopefully send the seniors out with a bang.”

The meet will mark NU’s annual senior day and last home meet for this class of swimmers.

Schroeder said he wants to challenge his seniors to step up during the meet.

After four years with the Cats, senior William Ros-ler has mixed feelings about the upcoming contest.

“I’m excited to swim at home one last time,” Rosler said. “It’s a little bittersweet of course, because it’s the last meet and everything. I’m a little sad about that.”

In addition to Rosler, the other five seniors to be honored are John Andrade, Uula Auren, Mark Ferguson, Aaron Sears and Andrew Seitz. The meet will be preceded by a senior day ceremony starting about 15 minutes before the first event.

Schroeder hinted at a possible change in the line-up to add to the excitement of senior day.

“You know, I just might make a senior relay at the end,” Schroeder said. “I’m not sure yet how we’re going to approach that, but I want to give them an opportunity to have their day and let them kind of go out on their own terms for their meets here at Northwestern.”

Despite it being the last home competition of the season for the Cats, they’re going into Friday with the same mindset as for previous meets.

“I’m excited as always,” Rosler said. “We’re approaching it the same as the other meets and I think it should be a good one.”

Wildcats to honor two at annual senior day

Although there are only two seniors for North-western (5-4, 1-2 Big Ten) this year, the upcoming annual senior day will still be an emotional one for the Wildcats.

“They’ve added a lot, not just their swimming, but their energy, their spirit,” coach Jimmy Tierney said.

The Cats will honor Madeline Klichowski and Valerie Nubbe when they take on the Milwaukee Panthers at the Norris Aquatics Center on Friday for the last home meet of the season.

Coming off of a win against Notre Dame last week, NU is in high spirits going into competition this weekend.

The Cats needed a fierce second half rally against the Fighting Irish to pull off the victory, but they got the job done by slowly decreasing the deficit and pouncing in the final event. It wasn’t the seniors, but sophomores Lacey Locke and Lauren Abruzzo who stepped up with big races down the stretch.

Milwaukee (3-2, 2-1 Horizon League) won’t be as formidable an opponent as Notre Dame (4-7), or No. 8 Michigan (7-2, 5-0 Big Ten) for that matter,

but Tierney isn’t worried there will be a letdown in this meet or going forward.

“The team is feeling really good about themselves,” Tierney said. “I think that’s starting to come out each meet that we swim.”

The Cats will focus on relay teams, an important component for Big Ten Championships.

“One thing we’re doing is we’re going to have our main guns on both our relays because I want to get them ready for Big Tens, get them used to each other,” Tierney said.

Tierney said that although he doesn’t have enough seniors to do a senior relay, he will still feature them in their main events.

“They’re both swimming out of relays and we’ll certainly make a big deal out of them for sure because it’s a special day for them,” Tierney said. “We want to recognize them and honor them for all they’ve done for us.”

Cats searching for elusive victory in Ann ArborBy KEVIN CASEYdaily senior staffer @KevinCasey19

The Wildcats (10-7, 1-3 Big Ten) will head to Ann Arbor, Michigan, on Saturday to take on the Wolverines (10-7, 3-2), and they must be feeling a little cursed.

Northwestern will trek east with the baggage of consecutive close losses, including a home defeat to Illinois that had coach Chris Collins listing off a bunch of positive factors that still didn’t lead to victory.

“We shoot almost 50 percent, we outscore them in the paint, we get to the line, we made our free throws,” Collins said.

Freshman point guard Bryant McIntosh didn’t mince words about his team.

“We have to get better,” he said.If there’s any upside to NU’s early

struggles in Big Ten play, it’s this: The Wildcats are in a far better position than they were at this time last year.

Yes, the Cats’ 1-3 start in confer-ence plays mirrors last season’s open-ing quartet, and at least then NU took care of business at home against Illi-nois — a ranked team at that time.

Wins and losses can distort narra-tives though. Last year, NU’s first three conference defeats came by margins of 27, 23 and 26 points. In this sea-son’s opening slate, those numbers are

23, 7 (OT) and 5.Following those opening confer-

ence blowouts last year, NU went nuts. The Cats captured five of their next seven contests, including a win against then-No. 14 Wisconsin, an eventual Final Four team — an unfathomable victory to this day.

With the team so far ahead of a squad that produced that mind-numbing stretch, maybe Cats fans can dream of better days.

At the very least, NU faces an entic-ing matchup with the Wolverines.

Michigan has been respectable this year, but their foibles have already been the stuff of legends. The then-No. 17 Wolverines inexplicably lost at home to the New Jersey Institute of Technology, a team competing in its first ever game against a top-25 oppo-nent. They followed up that shocker with a 45-42 defeat to Eastern Michi-gan, a team the Wolverines had not lost to since 1997.

The Cats also can take solace in the opportunities Michigan’s person-nel presents them. In past years, the Wolverines’ brilliant 3-point shoot-ing (25th and fourth in the nation in 3-point percentage in 2012-2013 and 2013-2014, respectively) would have

carved up the current NU defense that is letting opponents knock down 35.9 percent from deep — putting the Cats at 254th in the country in this metric.

But this season, Michigan is a mediocre 157th in 3-point percent-age, removing a place to exploit a glaring NU weakness.

The Wolverines are also in last in the Big Ten in rebounding at 31.8 boards per game, an important dis-tinction against an NU squad that struggles on this front itself.

The team can also be enthused by the performance junior center Alex Olah put on against Illinois. After some recent struggles, the center had 14 points and 12 rebounds in a robust effort following recent criticism.

“I didn’t play as well,” Olah said. “I wasn’t as aggressive these past couple of games. I wanted to show that from now that I need to be as aggressive as I was (against Illinois).”

But whatever the signs that give the Cats a fighting chance against the Wolverines, close isn’t good enough.

NU wants to start tasting the sweet smell of victory again.

“(Winning) is the next step for us as a team,” he said. “You play a lot of close games, you guys see in this league, it’s about close games. … You have to find a way to win those close games.“

STRIVING FOR MORE Bryant McIntosh attempts a drive. The freshman guard is a big part of Northwestern’s competitive play.

McMullan motivated to winBy ALEX LEDERMANdaily senior staffer

No. 17 Northwestern (8-3, 0-2 Big Ten) returns this weekend with a doubleheader on the road: Friday at No. 23 Purdue (7-4, 0-2) and Sunday at Indiana (2-4, 0-3).

“A double road weekend is a unique experience,” senior heavy-weight Mike McMullan said. “But we’ve got a good opportunity to get two team wins against quality opponents.”

The Wildcats are coming off a rough home showing, where they fell to No. 10 Wisconsin 30-16. Three NU wrestlers — sophomore Ben Sullivan at 174 pounds, No. 7 senior Pierce Harger at 165 and No. 19 junior Dominick Malone at 133 — were pinned, and then-No. 2 McMul-lan was defeated 7-6 in the final 30 seconds of his bout.

The week before, McMullan lost to Iowa’s Bobby Telford in the finals of the Midlands Championships.

“I’m looking to get back on track after losing my last two matches,” McMullan said. “I’ve got to score a lot of points, get back in the groove and, you don’t want to look ahead, but get ready for a rematch against Telford next week when we face Iowa.”

McMullan fell from No. 2 to No. 4 in the InterMat national heavyweight rankings after last weekend’s loss. His opponent, Connor Medbery, rose from No. 5 to No. 3.

And how is McMullan handling the defeat?

“I’ve wrestled Medbery a bunch,” he said. “He’s a quality opponent, so I can’t get too down on myself for that. I’ve just got to keep on moving for-ward and get back to what works for me and keep my eyes on March.”

McMullan knows exactly what he needs to do to get back on track.

“I’m just looking to get back to my offense, get back to dominating on top, putting up a lot of points and just having a lot of fun out there and not stressing about anything,” he said.

But McMullan isn’t the only one looking to redeem himself for a loss at Midlands.

Harger again faces Indiana’s No. 4 Taylor Walsh, who topped him at the Midlands finals and won the Dan Gable Most Outstanding Wrestler award for the tournament.

“That’ll be a good opportunity for him to get some redemption and get on the other side of that matchup,” McMullan said.

But there’s one Cats wrestler who won’t need to redeem himself. Soph-omore Jason Tsirtsis, the defending NCAA Champion at 149 pounds, is 22-0 on the season and holds a 38-match win streak.

Key matchups against Purdue include No. 19 Malone vs. No. 20 Danny Sabatello at 133 and No. 10 senior Alex Polizzi vs. No. 15 Braden Atwood at 197.

Malone topped Sabatello in a 9-7 sudden victory decision at Midlands two weeks ago, and Polizzi is com-ing off an impressive 7-6 victory last week over Wisconsin’s then-No. 10 Timmy McCall.

The match to watch against Indi-ana is Harger vs. Walsh.

The Boilermakers are also com-ing off a loss to Wisconsin, 22-13. Two days prior, they fell to No. 11 Nebraska 25-6.

The Hoosiers’ luck hasn’t been any better. They’ve also dropped their two conference matches since Mid-lands, a 42-3 loss to No. 6 Penn State and a 36-3 defeat by No. 9 Illinois.

But no matter who wins these matches, at least one of the three teams will walk away with its first conference victory.

NU embarks on difficult road tripBy DAVID LEEthe daily northwestern @davidylee95

Northwestern hopes to hit the ground running as it begins the non-conference season with difficult road contests against North Carolina State on Friday and Van-derbilt on Sunday.

The Wildcats’ schedule doesn’t allow them any time to ease in. ITA preseason polls have both the Commodores and the Wolfpack within the top 30, ranking them No. 19 and No. 28, respectively.

“It’s going to be tough,” senior Alex Pasareanu said. “It’s one of the toughest schedules we’ve had since my freshman year. We’re starting the year against two really good teams.”

The rankings don’t necessarily spell doom for the Cats, though. The polls place NU at No. 34, behind both of the Cats’ opponents this weekend, but the team is nothing to scoff at.

Sophomore Strong Kirchheimer said he is excited for the season to start. He seemed unfazed by the credentials of the Cats’ first two opponents.

“Rankings don’t really mean too much,” Kirchheimer said. “We know they’re good teams. We’re just going to be worrying about ourselves and not really focusing on what they’re doing.”

But NU has its hands full, especially against Vanderbilt, which is buoyed by singles stalwart Gonzales Austin, who advanced to the round of 16 of last year’s NCAA singles championship, while no NU player was able to make it out of the first round.

But whatever NU might lack in indi-vidual talent, it expects to make up for with teamwork and community.

“We’ve always been a close team,” Pasareanu said. “I think that’s one of the things we’ve done better and better since my freshman year. Even though tennis is a pretty individual sport, we utilize the team aspect of it. I think that’s what we do better than a lot of teams.”

Especially with the new fast-paced NCAA tennis scoring system, the Cats will need to stand as a cohesive unit. Start-ing this year, games tied at 40-40 in both singles and doubles will be decided by the next point instead of an advantage-scoring format. Doubles matches will also be shortened to six games from eight, and warm-ups with opponents before matches have been outlawed. The result is a quicker, more decisive game with an increased emphasis on every point.

Coach Arvid Swan said the new for-mat changes how he wants his players to approach the games.

“The swings can be pretty dramatic at any period of time,” Swan said. “We’re just really focused on concentrating, making sure we maintain our focus throughout an entire practice, which hopefully means we’ll retain our focus through an entire match.”

Although the rule changes have been met with mixed reviews, they seem to benefit NU’s style.

“For me, I like it because I play more of an aggressive game, so the whole scor-ing system being shorter and the matches being shorter it suits my play style more,” Pasareanu said. “I think just in general, the indoor courts, balls fly quicker, every-thing’s faster. I think it just complements us.”

The Cats need a lot of things to go their way to win both bouts this weekend, but with sky-high confidence and a couple of rule changes, a sweep isn’t out of the question.
