In a stunning development Wednesday, the NCAA announced that Notre Dame would be moving from the Big East Conference to the Atlantic Coastal Conference in all sports except for football and hockey.

“The friendly rivalry between our programs goes back over a century,” said DePaul Athletic Director Jean Lenti Ponsetto in a statement. “Given our long-storied history, our shared values and geographic

proximity, we look forward to continuing our relationship and wish them well.”

For the Big East, Notre Dame leaving is another big blow in a long line of defections to the ACC. In 2004-2005, Miami, Boston College, and Virginia Tech left the conference. Notre Dame is the fourth school in the past year to head east, joining Pittsburgh, Syracuse and West Virginia.

Notre Dame won’t be leaving the Big East until at least the 2015-2016 season (although they could leave earlier by negotiating with the

conference), but it still might impact DePaul in the coming years.

The biggest impact

will be felt on the basketball court, where DePaul and Notre Dame have faced each other in men’s and women’s hoops for decades. Notre Dame has consistently fielded

teams that have bested DePaul, and now that competition is gone.

On the women’s

side, the Blue Demons no longer have to face a perennial power. The Fighting Irish went 35-4 last season, including a 15-1 record in Big East play, beating DePaul

twice by an average margin of 17.5 points. It will be welcome relief for the women, as there is one less opponent to worry about in a still-loaded conference.

On the men’s side, things look even more promising. Notre Dame’s exit means that the competition in the Big East is far below what it was a few years ago. Remember, basketball powers Pittsburgh and Syracuse are also leaving, and West Virginia was no pushover either. That’s four quality schools that DePaul will soon be rid

DePaul President Rev. Dennis H. Holtschneider, C.M. introduced the Vision 2018 plan for the school at an event attended by more than 800 alumni, faculty and students Sept. 14. The plan, like its predecessors Vision 2012 and Vision 2006, outlines DePaul’s goals for the university over the next six years.

The event kicked-off with a welcome speech from School of Music Dean Don Casey. He invited the large crowd to stand during the procession of speakers, Board of Trustee members and student banner carriers. The banners the students carried each represented one of the five goals of Vision 2018. Casey introduced the DePaul Wind Ensemble and the “Vision 2018 Fanfare,” composed by associate professor Kurt Westerberg.

During his invocation, Senior Executive for University Mission Rev. Edward Udovic presented attendees with a question. “What must be done?” he asked. “What must I do? What must you do? What must we do?” President Holtschnider answered these questions in his speech.

Holtschneider read the poem “Fog-Horn” by W.S. Merwin, comparing DePaul’s future to navigating through fog at sea. “The present course cannot last unadjusted,” he said.

The DePaulia's Editor-In-Chief sat down with Student Government Association President Caroline Winsett about goals and plans for the new school year.

Schuetz: What are SGA's overall goals for the 2012-2013 school year?

Winsett: A host of twelve initiatives was officially adopted by DePaul’s Student Government Association on Thursday, Sept. 6. These span from augmenting the student voice and making administrative processes, such as the Strategic Resources Allocations Committee and the Tuition Pricing Committee, more transparent to enhancing school pride and campus affinity.

What changes can students expect to see this year?

Throughout the summer, SGA’s executive leadership has worked tirelessly to plan for the upcoming year, specifically in terms of key events such as a Budget and Tuition Pricing presentation, quarterly health forums and MAP (Monetary Award Program) Awareness Day. We hope that by planning these events early and disseminating the appropriate information to our peers, students will have greater access to these critical opportunities to voice their respective opinions.

Perhaps more tangibly, we have already increased the student presence on crucial university-wide committees, notably that of the Tuition Pricing Committee. Furthermore, we have coordinated with the Office of Academic Affairs to sponsor the extension of hours at the John T. Richardson Library, Sunday through Thursday, until 2:00 a.m. This effort will last

for the duration of Fall Quarter, serving as a pilot, intended to demonstrate increased utilization during these extended hours. We encourage students, faculty and staff alike to take advantage of this opportunity.

We are also attempting to use our various social media mechanisms as tools to connect with students, frequently updating them with important information. We hope that these will continue to be of use throughout the year ahead.

How can students get their voices heard by SGA?

Students are always welcome at our weekly General Body meetings, held most Thursdays at 6:00 p.m. in the Office of Student Involvement Conference Room. In addition to attending these meetings, any student is able to serve on the three committees, which comprise SGA: Academic Affairs, Student Affairs and Operations.

Students are also encouraged to connect with SGA via online tools, as well. We have a website, OrgSync profile, Facebook and Twitter, all intended to be used as communicative tools with the student body.

Will course evaluations become available to students this year?

Over the course of this summer, SGA has met with several deans, as well as other university administrators and staff, to discuss increased student access to course evaluations. At present, we are in the process of redrafting a comprehensive proposal regarding this matter, intended to address issues of feasibility, as well as other concerns raised by faculty and staff members. The College of Law and the College of Computing and Digital Media already have these systems in place, and we are optimistic that more colleges and schools within the university will adopt similar systems relatively soon.

Will students be able to cast SGA/2012 presidential elections votes completely online this year?

Yes, all voting for SGA elections will be completely online.

Polls will open Oct. 1 and close on Oct. 3.

SGA can be reached at sga.depaul.edu, and Winsett can be reached at [email protected].

A Q&A with2012-13 ’ s SGA By ELIZABETH SCHUETZEditor-in-Chief

SGA President Caroline Winsett

After six days of negotiation between the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) administrative board and the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU), the Chicago teachers’ strike seemed to be close to ending on Sunday, Sept. 16—but the earliest students will be back in school is Sept. 19.

Karen Lewis, CTU President, told ABC 7 News she was optimistic about an agreement. However, at a press conference on Sept. 16, Lewis said union delegates would discuss the agreement further on Monday and Tuesday, citing a lack of trust between CTU and CPS. "Some of the language [in the agreement] isn't right," Lewis said.

According to a Chicago Tribune report, CPS presented the union with a revised contract proposal that included a restructuring of teacher raises, an appeal process for teacher evaluations and an agreement to freeze health insurance at current rates if union members participate in a wellness program.

CTU attorney Robert Bloch told the Chicago Tribune the union was "hopeful that we will have a complete agreement to present to the union’s House of Delegates by Sunday." Similarly, Chicago Public Schools board president David Vitale said "the heavy lifting is over. The general framework is in place."

The end of the strike would mean that the nation’s third-largest school system’s 29,000 teachers and support staff would leave their posters on the picket lines to return to their classrooms, where around 350,000 elementary

and high school students will once again fill the seats.

This turn of events came after teachers protested, marched and rallied at sites across the city, beginning on Monday, September 10, at Chicago’s City Hall. According to reports from police officials at the scene, around 10,000 striking CPS teachers protested in front of city hall, marking the first Chicago teachers’ strike in 25 years.

Wearing red t-shirts and holding posters reading, “Fair Contract Now” and “Attack Poverty, Not Teachers,” CPS teachers flooded the downtown intersection of Adams and Clark Street, banging drums and chanting, “Hey, hey, ho, ho, Rahm Emanuel’s got to go." On the sidelines, a young woman held a sign above her head that read, “History class is in session.”

While teachers were demanding smaller class sizes, up-to-date textbooks, more social workers, better classrooms environments, disputes over compensation, teacher evaluation and job security, students were

locked out of classrooms while the CPS administrative board and the CTU leadership were locked in negotiations.

“The city doesn’t realize how angry teachers are,” said Alicia Kostecki, a middle school teacher at Walt Disney Magnet School on Chicago’s North Side.

The city is no stranger to teachers striking. Chicago teachers last walked off the job in 1987, during a strike that lasted 19 days. Before that, teachers in the city’s public schools walked out nine times between 1969 and 1987 during periodic fights over salaries, working conditions and classroom environments.

The CTU strike has gotten mixed reviews from parents. A poll released by Capitol Fax and conducted by We Ask America found among 1,344 Chicago households, 56 percent approved of CTU's decision to strike and 40 percent disapproved. While some parents have expressed anger about their children being out of

CHRIS AYAN | The DePaulia

Notice a lot of chatter on Twitter and Facebook lately about the teachers strike? You’re not alone.

The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) strike became more noticeable as media coverage swelled with each passing day. Chicago students and their parents became increasingly concerned as students lose school days. CTU and Chicago Public Schools (CPS) continue to negotiate, and with all the hype, it is no wonder that social media has become a major factor in the strike.

Many flocked to Facebook to voice their support for the teachers’ union. A picture reading “I Support the Chicago Teachers Union: Fighting for Better Schools” became an increasingly popular profile picture on Facebook. Union advocates posted photos, statuses and articles on the social media website, crying out for CPS to give the teachers what they want. These same people have used Twitter, not only to voice their support or displeasure, but also to coordinate strikes and events.

First-year DePaul law student Nerissa Diaz, who changed her Facebook profile picture in support of CTU, wasn't shy in voicing her support. “Without CPS teachers, I wouldn’t have a four-year university degree and I would not be in law school,” said Diaz. “Without teachers, students across the city would not know what it is like to have someone constantly fighting for students’ rights, their well-being and their success.”

Recent University of Illinois graduate and working actress Aurora Adachi-Winter had similar thoughts on the issue. “I support the teachers because I spent 12 years in the CPS school system and have seen how very hard my teachers worked and how little that hard work, the 10-plus hours a day they put in and the school supplies they paid for out-of-pocket was appreciated,” she said.

Senior Anthony Cushion noticed the CPS strike trending on Twitter and Facebook, but the strike frustrates him because it is hindering his own education. “I can’t do my 25 hours for my junior experiential learning class without the teachers being in the classroom,” said Cushion. “I really wish they’d figure it out.”

Bulls point guard Derrick Rose, known to be one of the more soft-spoken superstars of the NBA, joined in on the strike conversation on Twitter. “Hope the CPS gets a deal done soon … we need our kids in school!” Rose tweeted. Chicago continues to utilize social media in the ongoing strike as they hold their breath for a quick resolution.


#CTU StrikeBy ADAM SADURContributing Writer

school, others like hip-hop artist Rhymefest, see the strike as real-life lesson for children.

Parents are not the only ones critical of the strike; local and national politicians have chimed in, some adding support and others opposing the walkout.

"I am disappointed by the decision of the Chicago Teachers Union to turn its back on not only a city negotiating in good faith but also the hundreds of thousands of children relying on the city’s public schools to provide them a safe place to receive a strong education," Romney said Sept. 10 during a press conference in Ohio.

"Teachers unions have too often made plain that their interests conflict with those of our children, and today we are seeing one of the clearest examples yet."

Since the beginning of the strike, Lewis has remained firm in her belief that the strike was a necessary tactic.

“This was a difficult decision and one we hoped we could avoid,” said Lewis at a press conference on Sept. 9, the eve of the strike. “We must do things differently in this city if we are to provide our students with the education they so rightfully deserve.”

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel disagreed with Lewis, saying the strike and closure of CPS schools was avoidable.

“This is a strike of choice,” Emanuel said at a press conference on Sept 10. “The issues are not financial.”

The central issues debated between the CPS and the CTU included:

Salary ·CPS offered a 16 percent average salary

increase over the next four years.·CTU agreed the two sides were not far

apart on compensation, but said they were far apart on benefits, and the CPU wanted to maintain their existing health benefits at existing rates.

Job Security ·CPS offered new opportunities and

security for laid off teachers by giving teachers the option to be placed in a reassignment pool for five months or electing to receive a three-month lump sum severance.

·CTU said that it fears that if the Chicago Public School Board decides to close more schools, teachers would be displaced. The union demanded that laid-off teachers with acceptable ratings have firm recall rights.

Evaluation·CPS intended to institute a new

teacher evaluation system named “REACH Students,” and proposed a plan to work jointly with the CTU on the implementation.

·CTU had reservations about “REACH” as it factors in student achievement on standardized tests to evaluate teachers. Lewis said in a press release that after the initial phase of “REACH,” 6000 teachers, or nearly 30 percent of CTU membership could be discharged in one or two years.

Though the first two days of the strike showed little progress, the tables turned on day three. The CTU leaders and the CPS administrative board were ready to bargain.

"We made significant progress on the teacher evaluation side of the equation," CPS Chief Education Advisor Barbara Byrd-Bennett told NBC Chicago. "Clearly we're remaining consistent with not wanting to lower the standards for our children...I think there were really good discussions."

Dr. Sonia Soltero, chair of DePaul’s Leadership, Language and Curriculum Department in the College of Education, was among the groups concerned about the new practice of using students' standardized tests results to evaluate teacher performance.

“The annual test is neither fully reflective of students' academic progress, or of teacher effectiveness. There is significant amount of research that points to this,” Soltero said. “There are many factors that are out of the control of teachers and schools related to

poverty that affect students' academic achievement.”

The group of educators sent a letter of concern to Mayor Emanuel and the Chicago School Board in March:

“Teachers will subtly but surely be incentivized to avoid students with health issues, students with disabilities, students who are English Language Learners, or students suffering from emotional issues,” the letter states.

The letter goes on, noting that “the dynamic between student and teacher will change. Instead of ‘teacher and student versus the exam,’ it will be ‘teacher versus students’ performance on the exam.”

In a recent interview with WGN-TV,

David Vitale, President of the Chicago School said the board had made a number of proposals to the union in response to concerns, but the board is obligated to use test scores for teacher evaluation.

“The state law requires us to include test performance,” Vitale said.

Marc Wigler, an adjunct faculty member in DePaul’s College of Education and 18-year veteran CPS employee, said the risk for teachers begins in the evaluation plan’s second year.

“Teachers can be discharged without any recourse,” he said.

Lewis has sharply criticized Emanuel and his evaluation plan, noting that standardized tests do not take into account the outside factors teachers have to deal with in the

classroom, including problems at home, inner city poverty, hunger and street violence.

Union officials said they fear more than a quarter of CPS teacher could lose their jobs if they are evaluated based on the tests, which Chicago students have performed poorly on compared with national average, especially in reading, math and science.

“Evaluate us on what we do, not the lives of our children we do not control,” Lewis said in the announcement of the strike.

Nate Marshall, an alumnus of Whitey M. Young Magnet High School on Chicago’s Near West Side, took to Twitter to express his support of the CTU strike, addressing the social issues CPS teachers deal with every day that are not accounted for in test scores.

“The strike is warranted. We’re already going to play at a deficit because we have social issues and challenges that other school districts don’t have because we’re a big city,” Marshall said. “It does to me, seem volatile to grade a teacher on test scores. It should be a part of it because that’s they way we evaluate our education system and its effectiveness, but there has to be more holistic approaches.”

Although Marshall said he thought students could benefit from seeing teachers stand up for themselves, he still hopes a resolution is imminent.

“I think there are times that you have to deny the immediate benefit for the long-term benefit, but I do hope my little sister can go back to school soon,” Marshall said.

Ida Mendicutti, a first grade bilingual teacher at Mary Lyon Elementary School in Chicago’s Belmont Central neighborhood, said the teachers’ strike would benefit students in the long run.

“I know we’re not going to get everything that we want, but I’m hoping that what we do get helps. It will be not only for the good of the teachers but for the students,” Mendicutti said.

Holtschneider outlined Vision 2018 in his speech as a plan that incorporated DePaul’s commitment to continued progress with students and the

community. “We have a worthy mission,” he said. “(Faculty, staff and students) will turn this vision into a reality. We’re going to make this great university even

better.”He went on to remark about

DePaul’s commitment to helping students who cannot afford a private education. He was met

with applause when he exclaimed, “The government may be cutting back on its commitment, but not this university community.”

He concluded his speech saying, “Through you, and through this new plan, may DePaul University itself always be a blessing to the world.”

Senior Montey Caston attended the event because of his love for the university and what it represents. “I think it’s a good thing for Holtschneider to appear before everyone and speak to the community,” he said. “I think he is presenting a great plan. DePaul does a great job budgeting and planning, and I don’t see why we shouldn’t be able to achieve all of our goals.”

Staff member Melonie Wallace agrees. “It was very inspiring and definitely shows the spirit of DePaul, which is always consistent,” she said. “It is a strong plan and a good continuation of the last one.”

The Vision 2018 Strategic Launch event excited many attendees. “I think it was a great event,” alumnus Sarah Albert said. “The reverend got us all very energized for this vision, and continued improvement to DePaul.” When attendees were invited to sign pages committing to Vision 2018 many rushed over, and the walkways were blocked by eager alumni, faculty and students.

Freshman Christine Zawislak was one of these eager attendees. “I signed because I believe in Vision 2018, and I wanted to demonstrate my own commitment to DePaul and the community,” Zawislak said.

The pages will be bound to serve as a reminder over the next six years of DePaul’s commitment to its goals.


JTR LIBRARY HOURS EXTENDED FOR FALL QUARTER

DePaul students who burn the midnight oil in the John T. Richardson Library will be pleased to hear that the library is extending its hours for fall quarter. Starting today, the library will be open until 2:00 a.m. from Sunday through Thursday during the academic term.

The extended hours are the result of collaboration between the Student Government Association and the Office of Academic Affairs. The two organizations will track library usage during fall quarter to help determine future funding. The library will also be open 24 hours a day during finals week (Nov. 13-20).

DEPAUL RANKED AMONG TOP 150 UNIVERSITIES

Another year, another set of university rankings from U.S. News and World Report. DePaul ranks 134th among national universities this year in a five-way tie with Colorado State University, Hofstra University, Louisiana State University—Baton Rouge, and University of Arkansas.

According to the report, DePaul ranks above fellow Chicago schools University of Illinois-Chicago and Columbia College, but below University of Chicago, Loyola University Chicago, and Northwestern University.

DePaul dropped two spots from its 132nd ranking last year.

FORMER DETECTIVE CONVICTED IN FATAL CRASH THAT KILLED

DEPAUL STUDENTFormer CPD detective Joseph Frugoli,

who killed a DePaul student while driving intoxicated, was convicted on Sept. 10 of

two counts of leaving the scene of a fatal crash, according to the Chicago Tribune.

The April 2009 crash killed 21-year-old LA&S student Fausto Manzera and his friend Andrew Cazares. Frugoli’s blood alcohol content was three times the legal limit during the crash, which occurred on the Dan Ryan Expressway. Frugoli resigned from his post before pleading guilty to causing the crash.

DEPAUL WELCOMES LARGEST FRESHMAN CLASS EVER

Freshmen: feeling a little crowded? At just two students short of 6,000, DePaul’s 2016 freshman class is the biggest in the history of the university.

The large student body contributes to a four percent increase in tuition revenue, which is currently at $208 million. However, DePaul senior vice president for enrollment management and marketing David Kalsbeek said the final revenue will likely drop after Sept. 18: the last day to drop courses.

LAWSUIT AGAINST DEPAUL LAW THROWN OUT

An Illinois judge threw out a lawsuit against DePaul's law school which claimed that the college misrepresented its post-graduation employment statistics.

The plaintiffs of the lawsuit—nine College of Law graduates—alleged that DePaul's post-gradutation employment rate represented full-time permanent positions that required or preferred a J.D. degree, and that the data instead included positions were part-time or did not reference a J.D. degree.

On Sept. 13, however, Cook County Judge Neil H. Cohen threw out the lawsuit. "Plaintiffs paid tuition to DePaul in return for a legal education which would prepare them to practice law," Cohen wrote in his ruling. "DePaul provided the service paid for by Plaintiffs ... DePaul cannot be blamed for the fact that eight of the nine plaintiffs graduated at a time which was witness to a metamorphosis in the practice of law."

In June, President Obama announced a policy called “deferred action” that would permit certain undocumented youth to stay in the country for two years; if the policy is still in place, permits may be renewed after two years.

The temporary permits do not guarantee certain state or federal benefits such as driver’s licenses and in-state tuition. It does, however, guarantee an approved applicant that he or she will not be removed from the United States during those two years, and it also allows them to obtain a worker’s permit.

“It is a good program, at the root of it, as a first step in the immigration reform process,” said immigration attorney Elisabeth Clayton from the firm of Kempster, Keller and Lenz-Calvo, Ltd.

“Political views aside, I think the deferred action is a good step towards strengthening some of the core values this country is based on,” said senior Momchil Trayanov, a psychology major at DePaul. “Giving an opportunity to undocumented youth who had no choice or say in the matter of coming to the United States to be a productive member of its workforce is great.”

There are certain eligibility requirements to receive deferred action; similar to those in a piece of legislation called the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM)

Act, which would grant eligible undocumented youth permanent legal status if passed by Congress.

With strict requirements and high fees, the application fee alone is $465, applying for deferred action has its share of challenges. “Immigration law is complex, and while it looks simple, it is crucial to know the full legal scope of the questions on the application and your answers,” said Clayton.

“The law is always changing; deferred action is only for two years, so it will be good to have someone to talk to after those two years.”

An applicant must meet the following: have come to the United States before turning 16; continuously lived in the United States for the last five years; be at least 15 years old when applying; be 30 years old or younger as of June 15, 2012; either currently attending school, graduated or received a certificate of completion from high school, obtained a general education development (GED) certificate or be an honorably discharged veteran of the military; have no convictions of any type of felony offense; not pose a threat to national security or public safety; and pass a

background check. If someone has any criminal history

or contact with immigration services, it is highly recommended for an applicant to contact a qualified immigration lawyer or an accredited representative for legal advice. Even if there is no criminal background or immigration services contact, it is still recommended to at least talk with a professional since they can help with the application process.

However, there are various organizations and professionals who can help at low costs, and getting approved can make a great deal of difference in an undocumented youth’s life. DePaul University is lending a hand to any current students who are curious about the process.

“Croak Student Legal Services helps students who have questions about deferred action, including questions about the process and potential benefits and risks, and offers students useful resources of other organizations that can help,” said director of Croak Student Legal Services Katharine Pena.

The events will also feature immigration attorneys from the law firm of Kempster, Keller and Lenz-Calvo,

Ltd. who will explain the application process and provide answers to any legal questions.

“We think the most important thing for DePaul students is their academic success and their academic success determines their future success,” said Pena. “When students have to deal with legal issues like their status, it can interfere with their academic success.”

“It is worthwhile to invest in because you can receive federal and state benefits through the worker’s permit and can live your life without the fear of being deported,” said Clayton.

Trayanov knows what the fear can be like by seeing his own family member go through it; his cousin arrived in 2001 when his father had a temporary visa. “For the past 11 years, they lived a quite moderate life, purchased a home, paid taxes and maintained immaculate legal and credit records," said Trayanov.

"But, they were constantly in fear of potentially being deported and my cousin not being able to continue his education past high school. With the DREAM Act not getting passed, (deferred action) was the next best thing for a now young adult to start a future as a productive member of this society.”

The Croak Student Legal Services Office is presenting information sessions on deferred action at noon on Tuesday Sept. 18 in Student Center room 314A and at 5p.m. on Thursday Sept. 20 in Richardson Library room 400.

The recent decision in Germany to ratify the European Stabilization Mechanism (ESM) has brought relief to a world crippled by uncertainty about the future of European commerce and fear over the possible demise of the euro.

The ESM was created during tough economic times when nations such as Portugal, Spain and most famously Greece have become crippled due to skyrocketing debt. Designed as a permanent measure to coordinate European fiscal policy, the ESM would assist eurozone countries whose credit has rendered them unable to borrow money. It would provide bonds to help struggling nations through a fund compromised of donations by all the 17 members of the eurozone.

Before the fund, Germany, the largest economic force in the eurozone, was designated

to provide 27 percent of the fund’s eventual €700 billion pool of resources. The measure is essential in helping to stabilize the value of the euro; however, many Germans failed to see any benefit that their nation would receive from ceding power and contributing to a fund that was going to instead benefit other smaller, “mismanaged” nations.

Since July the issue has raged throughout German courts, with the international community fearing that objectors would pull Germany out of the ESM entirely. Without their biggest donor, the ESM likely would not survive past the planning stage, which would leave underperforming nations to fall into financial insolvency and possibly lead to the collapse of the euro.

Fortunately, the German courts made the final decision to back the measure last Wednesday, Sept. 12. Of course, the decision did not come without Germany receiving concessions. They will receive power to oversee handouts, and

the fund cannot increase without German approval.

Still, a measure with strings attached is widely regarded as better than no measure at all. In

a global economy the failures of one region can have global consequences that severely affect the United States as well. According to DePaul economics

professor John Berdell, “Many American bank measures (such as the rescue measures of our past recession) have been dependent on European banks. The collapse of the euro would’ve created financial risk; banks here would make less credit available, and this would slow our economy.”

The approval of this measure does not signal and end to Europe’s long financial problems. However it is sign of stability for the European Union and willingness to cooperate in the global economy.

JD Bindenagel, DePaul’s VP of community, government and international involvement, says that reaching an agreement signals that the EU is “not only committed to financial stability but political unity. The expectation is that there will be more hurdles in the future. But they have moved the ball forward as far as crisis management goes, making them better able to hurdle future obstacles that will arise.” Bindenagel was formerly the U.S. Ambassador to Germany.

An onslaught of protests broke out on Thursday and continued through the weekend; sparked by a controversial film that denigrated Islam and the Prophet Muhammed.

The most violenct protests were contained in the Middle East, however there were confirmed demonstrations in Paris, London and Sydney that were linked to the film.

The State Department said on Sunday that they believe the violence has simmered. However some Islamic militant groups have urged followers to continue protesting through the week.

Libya and Egypt

A deadly assault on a U.S. consulate in Libya was a spontaneous reaction to an anti-Muslim video, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said Sunday, even as Libya's president insisted the attackers spent months preparing and carefully choosing their date — the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Unnerved by the rapidly escalating raid on Tuesday that claimed the life of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans, the Obama administration last week launched an investigation into whether terrorist groups had exploited outrage over an anti-Muslim video to trigger an attack long in the works.

But Ambassador Susan Rice said evidence gathered so far shows no indication of a premeditated or coordinated

strike. She said the attack in

Benghazi, powered by mortars and rocket-propelled grenades, appeared to be a copycat of demonstrations that had erupted hours earlier outside the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, spurred by a YouTube film attributed to a California man mocking the Prophet Muhammad.

"It seems to have been hijacked, let us say, by some individual clusters of extremists who came with heavier weapons," Rice said, adding that such weaponry is easy to come by in post-revolutionary Libya.

Whether those extremists had ties to al-Qaida or other terrorist groups has yet to be determined, Rice said, noting that the FBI has yet to complete its investigation.

Libya's Interim President Mohammed el-Megarif, said Sunday, "It was planned, definitely. It was planned by foreigners, by people who entered the country a few months ago."

Afghanistan

Afghan police killed four American soldiers coming to their aid after a checkpoint attack Sunday, the third assault by government forces or insurgents disguised in military uniforms in as many days.

The escalating violence — including a NATO airstrike that killed eight Afghan women and girls gathering firewood — is straining the military partnership between Kabul and NATO as the U.S. begins to withdraw thousands of troops sent three years ago to route the Taliban from southern strongholds.

The attacks drew unusually strong criticism Sunday from the U.S. military's top officer, Army

Gen. Martin Dempsey, who called the problem of rogue Afghan soldiers and police turning their guns on allied troops "a very serious threat" to the war effort.

Pakistan

Hundreds of Pakistanis protesting an anti-Islam film broke through a barricade near the U.S. Consulate in the southern city of Karachi on Sunday, sparking clashes with police in which one demonstrator was killed and more than a dozen injured.

In a move that could escalate tensions around the Arab world, the leader of the Hezbollah militant group called for protests against the movie, saying protesters should not only 'express our anger' at U.S. embassies but urge leaders to act.

In a televised speech, Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah said the U.S. must be held accountable for the film,

which was produced in the United States. The U.S. government has condemned the film.

"The ones who should be held accountable and boycotted are those who support and protect the producers, namely the U.S. administration," Nasrallah said. He called for protests on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

He urged protesters to call on their leaders to express their anger too.

"We should not only express our anger at an American embassy here or there. We should tell our rulers in the Arab and

Muslim world that it is 'your responsibility in the first place' and since you officially represent the governments and states of the Muslim world you should impose on the United States, Europe and the whole world that our prophet, our Quran and our holy places and honor of our Prophet be respected," he told his followers in a televised speech.

Nasrallah said he waited to speak out about the film until Sunday, when Pope Benedict XVI ended his three-day trip to Lebanon

Libyan military guards check one of the U.S. Consulate's burnt out buildings during a visit by Libyan President Mohammed el-Megarif, not shown, to express sympathy for the death of the American ambassador, Chris Stevens and his colleagues. Stevens, 52, died as he and a group of embassy employees went to the consulate to try to evacuate staff as a crowd of hundreds attacked the consulate Tuesday evening, many of them firing machine-guns and rocket-propelled grenades. The Arabic on the building reads, "God is Great, and there is no God but Allah and Mohammed is his messenger."

Social media brings #fashionweek to the public

Regardless of who you are, your day-to-day activities, gender or age, each person has a relationship with clothing in one way or another. For some, there is one week every year that acts as a binding force and progression with their relationship to fashion. Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week is a showcase of the world’s most prominent designers’ spring collections. Every single detail is immaculate and placed for a reason. From the lip color, shoe, necklace, hair and even the music, each is an element of the “look” the designer is portraying and selling. Those who are blessed enough to have the opportunity to attend the occasion get to see the fashion shows live and get access to a variety of VIP benefits.

The sponsors of Fashion Week love to shower these individuals with tastes of their newest products – products that range anywhere from the newest Pepsi products to miniature cupcakes by the New York local “Baked by Melissa.”

Most people can only dream of attending the event in person, but luckily we are able to watch Fashion Week unfold on YouTube, receive streaming updates via Twitter and see pictures of each look straight from the designer on Tumblr. Fashion Week started as a trade event that stayed within the clothing and accessory industries, but now the crowd has expanded to A-listers, bloggers and the fashion obsessed.

New York is familiar with mass crowds, but this is an increasing dilemma for this event as the loiterers alone stand outside day and night to get a glimpse of a dress, a model, any celebrity or get any insight on what is within. Throughout the U.S., and now internationally, other cities

celebrate “Fashion’s Night Out” where retailers such as Macy’s and Akira showcase their newest items and host a few pre-parties and countless after parties. As Fashion Week continually tops the list of trending topics on Twitter, various professionals now realize how much more personal people are about their

clothing and Fashion Week. Shows like “Project Runway“ and “Fashion Star“ have made it so that everyone feels entitled to participate in fashion.

“It has become national entertainment versus an industry must-do, must-attend event” said Brandon Holley, the editor-

in-chief of Lucky Magazine. The E! Network tweets almost on an hourly basis about what the stars should and should not be wearing. They do this because people want to know what is current and fresh.

Fashion Week is where the celebrities learn what is on trend and the innovations of fashion are officially brought to this world. The designers face pressure too as the entire world looks upon their short 10-minute presentations that display the entirety of their work. The clothes will sell regardless of the mass media coverage, but the new hike in social media allows the consumer to be more than just a receipt from Nieman Marcus.

It is a blessing and a curse; this sacred event that used to be exclusive to the biggest names in fashion is now a yearly global phenomenon.

Although there is an increase in pressure, the designers can achieve world-wide fame in a matter of minutes when websites like style.com post pictures of their entire collection. Consumers of all ages see the look, want the look and will wait patiently for it to enter stores in the upcoming weeks.

The younger customers will be tweeting fervently and going to Forever 21 to get the closest emulation of the hottest new sweater, shorts and heels.

The consumers are not the only ones with eyes wide open staring at each detail of the newest collections.

Fashion Week will determine what each of us will be looking at on TV, downtown and around campus.

Every day in America, complete strangers make choices based on budget policies and intangible legislation. They decide what the health care options, educational agendas and sexual preferences of a patriotic American should be.

Every day, American citizens question the choices made by those strangers and wonder if there is a more effective action than just pushing papers under the rug at Capitol Hill.

It is highly unlikely the youthful, working class will line the streets and tip police cars just like the Haymarket Riots of the 1800s, but their collective efforts can make a change by voting.

“Elections are hard to change because [politicians] are working under the current system they voted for. They have made changes and they listen … sometimes,” said Jim Allen, a member of the Chicago Board of Election.

Regardless, by forsaking the right to choose, one also abandons their right to criticize and complain. It is obvious to politicians that Americans between the ages 18 and 25 are less likely to vote than those eligible for Medicare.

While this is great for the senior population, the concerns of the youth are often overlooked. The new generation’s ambivalence is the sole destructor of what America could be.

“Maybe kids don’t vote because they live out of state and don’t want to apply for an

absentee ballot because they don’t know how, and maybe some of them have only been 18 for a couple of months,” said DePaul junior Sarah Cypher.

By not voting, the needs of a major group of individuals are neglected. Politicians will cater to those that can vote for them, and in present times, the elderly

are given the advantage over the youth, and a staggering amount of social issues go unnoticed.

“There were people who were lynched, who were shot for the right to vote. If you don’t like the choices on the ballot, do something. Elections have consequences,” said Allen.

Older generations don’t lose sleep over the challenging process of receiving financial aid and what could happen if the amount of aid given is reduced. They don’t have the same concerns as younger generations do about reproductive rights. They don’t listen on the topic of wealth disparity because their votes have already provided a system of security.

When younger generations neglect their right to significantly represent a large part of America, freedom suffers.

McDonald’s has decided to take its low value prices to a new demographic. The company announced Sept. 4 that it will be opening two new vegetarian restaurants in India. The first one is set to open its doors in the city of Amritsar in 2013 followed shortly by another one in the Vaishno Devi Shrine.

According to Yahoo, there are 33,500 McDonald’s locations worldwide, but only 250 are in India. Beef and pork are not served in India due to religious reasons, and the kitchens are already separated for cooking vegetarian and meat-based foods. With the new openings, McDonald’s is trying to respect the Hindu and Muslim cultures and offer new tastes to targeted populations.

McDonald’s should consider opening vegetarian restaurants in the United States, especially in Chicago since the number of vegetarians is rising.

According to statisiticbrain.com, 10 percent of adults in America, or roughly seven million people, consider themselves vegetarians. Chicago is also ranked as the 10th-largest vegetarian city, while Portland, Ore., is ranked the first.

Opening a veggie McDonald’s would not only revolutionize more than just giving vegetarians a quick way to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, but it would be a fresh move on the company’s part.

Because fast-food is one of the leading contributors to obesity in the United Sates, this new concept could help out consumers

on a time crunch and help pay for meals that are cheaper and healthier.

Chicago also has a large demographic of people who are or who would want to be vegetarians, but might not have access to convenient restaurants that are dedicated to healthy and tasty vegetarian food. Restaurants, such as The Chicago Diner located at 3411 N. Halsted St., offers meat-free food but is a pricey establishment. For example, the “BBQ Bacun Cheezeburger” costs $10.50 at the diner.

Communities such as Wicker Park and Lincoln Park have a large number of students and young adults who have a particularly hard time finding restaurants that are affordable.

For someone who is vegetarian or wanting to switch to a new diet, the choices for strictly vegetarian establishments are rather limited.

Instead of picking up a greasy cheeseburger that contains a lot of salt and fat, college students could indulge in a vegetarian burger that wouldn’t contain as many saturated fats. At the very least, McDonald’s should do a trial run in Chicago and just add a few veggie burgers to see how the general public would perceive it.

Amy Erb, a vegetarian of 20 years, supports the addition of a meat-free McDonald’s in Chicago. “I think it would be a great inclusion to the city because it would allow people the opportunity to eat healthier on a daily basis,” said Erb.

Erb worked at DDB Needham, an advertising agency, where McDonald’s was one of its clients. “When I worked at DDB downtown, I would often have to

grab something quick, which was never a healthy choice. I’m glad the company is taking such a ‘green’ initiative,” she said laughing.

McDonald’s new concept makes it

evident that the business is set to thrive by anticipating market changes and providing choices that not only satisfy consumer needs, but also are responsible for giving people healthy choices to live better lives.

After enduring major changes to the Chicago Public School (CPS) system this year, the tension between teachers and City Hall hit an all time high.

Wearing all red t-shirts and picketing across all of Chicago, the roughly 26,000 teachers in the Chicago Teachers Union went on strike last week. The last major teacher strike in Chicago began Sept. 8, 1987 and lasted until Oct. 3 of that year.

Monday, Sept. 10, marked the beginning of a week-long break for about 350,000 students. CPS negotiator, Barbara Boyd-Bennett, told ABC News that kids will go back to school Monday.

I hope this strike was an eye-opener for the city on the significant role teachers play in Chicago.

There are very few people willing to sacrifice their entire day, year, and personal time to their jobs and this is a group of thousands who dedicate their lives to making a difference.

Being a product of CPS, I look

fondly on my experiences with my teachers. I know the many benefits of CPS. Regardless of having over 50 students in my classes, each of my teachers took the time to answer all of my e-mails, meet with me after school and help any of us with other classes or outside projects. No one paid them for that time and there was always an open door policy at my school.

I came to DePaul prepared and confident with my high school education and none of my teachers had to be evaluated via test scores.

It is disappointing that President Obama has stayed silent about the topic because he would have to choose his allegiance, either with his Democratic allies Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan (who used to be the head of CPS), or with his political allies in the public sector.

The issue began when Emanuel instated a longer school day without any change to the teachers’ already low pay.

Already strained with additional hours, situations were made worse when teachers were informed that they would be

evaluated based on their classes standardized test scores.

Here lies the great divide – teachers are worried about losing their jobs, while parents are worried that their children are not receiving the best education available.

Emanuel had proposed a 16 percent salary increase for teachers over the next four years,

but if teachers can be fired, replaced and transferred based solely on the results of test scores, gradually increasing a teacher’s pay will not stop the potential chaos in the new system.

Throughout the strike, families had to find an alternative to school for their children, but the most important part of the strike will be to find a long-term

solution that works for both parties.

Karen Lewis, the President of the Chicago Teachers Union said, “We feel like we’re in a pretty good place, both sides are making movements. We still have a lot of work to do but we are a lot closer together.” In some sense, optimism is the first step to coming to a solution.

Fair contracts due for CPS teachers

McDonald's already offers menu items that cater to local tastes, such as the Maharaja Mac, which is a Big Mac except with chicken patties.

Everybody’s doing it. Look around, somebody is probably tweeting, refreshing their Twitter feed, or stalking their favorite celebrity in the Twitterverse. Even DePaul University offices and organizations have gotten in on the action.

DePaul is on Twitter, and in a big way. Some accounts followed by students are funny, some are informative, and some simply exist to spread DePaul spirit.

Twitter is generally used to keep in touch with family and friends through a series of 140-character updates. It

is only logical that the same social media platform be used to keep members of the DePaul community in touch with each other as well.

Since it is the beginning of the school year, now is the time to follow a DePaul Twitter account, or two, or three. Campus departments, organizations and even Greek life are tweeting more than ever, recruiting new members to join their groups.

“I follow the DePaul

Biology Department and DePaul Problems on Twitter,” senior biology major Rana Sweis said. Some may find these tweets boring to read, but the account is actually full of useful information.

“The [Biology] Department is constantly tweeting opportunities for bio majors when it comes to internships, job opportunities, and deadlines to add and withdraw from classes,” Sweis said. “It keeps me

connected to clubs involved with the department, like the pre-dental club that I’m in.”

Twitter is also currently being utilized on campus to help students become involved in student organizations. Tweets are being sent out as recruitment platforms. Yes, this means that it is rush season here at DePaul, and each group is tweeting out recruitment information.

“Being a Panhellenic sorority, we are allowed to tweet out

information about our sorority, but we are not allowed to use it as a promotional tool,” former President of the DePaul Chapter of Alpha Phi, senior Lindsay Shankland said. “We primarily use Twitter to stay

in touch with other chapters across the country.”

Other accounts such as DePaul Problems, DePaul Gossip Girl and DePaul Good Life are fun ways for students to complain, gossip and stay in touch with other students.

“I follow DePaul Problems basically because their tweets are funny and we, as students, can all relate,” Sweis said.

re-tweeting numerous updates anout students “problems,” especially since the school year has begun. “You know the freshman are here when you

see people traveling in packs of 40. #WelcomeDePaulFreshmen,” DePaul Problems tweeted.

Recently a new Twitter account, the DePaul Gossip Girl, claims to be the “one and only source into the scandalous lives of DePaul’s elite.” The account is relatively new, but speculation over who runs this account has already begun.

“Hope all you Blue Demons have had a lovely summer & are ready for yet again another year at DePaul. I know I am… with secrets to reveal,” the DePaul Gossip Girl tweeted. If this site operates anything like popular television series Gossip Girl, DePaul better be on their best behavior.

The significant role that Twitter plays at DePaul can

easily be overlooked. “One time, I thought it would

be a good idea to delete my Twitter because it was a distraction and I need to be studying for my

LSAT,” said senior e n v i r o n m e n t a l studies major Elli Clark. “After a couple of months, I started to feel less informed and decided to make a new account.”

Just recently, Clark created that new account and,

like most college students, follows some DePaul Twitter accounts as well as all of her friends. “I like to stay informed and current on the news, both at school and everywhere else,” Clark said.

Whether you are a new student becoming acquainted with DePaul, or a senior looking for good drink deals, there is a Twitter account for all of it. To help you decide which accounts might be worth a click on the infamous “follow” button, The DePaulia has created directory of DePaul Twitter accounts, categorized by interest.

September not only marks the beginning of a new school year, it’s also signals the return of prime-time television’s newest seasons. This fall will see a slew of new shows, returning favorites and the end to many long-running series. Set your DVRs – there’s a lot to see. The DePaulia gives you our picks for what we’re looking forward to this fall.

“Parks & Recreation” returns for its fifth season on Thursday, Sept. 20 at 8:30 p.m. to NBC, Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) won the City Council election against Bobby Newport (Paul Rudd) in a recount in the season four closer, while boyfriend Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott) was offered a job in Washington by Ben’s campaign manager Jennifer (Kathryn Hahn). Season 5 begins with Leslie and Andy (Chris Pratt) visiting Ben and April at their new jobs in Washington. Senators Barbara Boxer, John McCain and Olympia Snowe guest star. How are Ben and Leslie handling their new jobs and being apart from each other?

When season 7 ended in May, “How I Met Your Mother” (HIMYM) saw Robin (Cobie Smulders) in a wedding dress in what seemed to a marriage to Barney (Neil Patrick Harris). When HIMYM returns for season 8 on Monday, Sept. 24 at 7 p.m. on CBS, fans will find out – are Barney and Robin Really getting married? What happened to Quinn (Becki Newman)? With Newman starring in a new show premiering on Fox this fall, from the producers of HIMYM, it’s unlikely the Quinn and Barney story arc

will continue for much longer, but fans will have to wait and see. Ted (Josh Radnor), to fans’ knowledge, still has not met the mother of his children, a story line that if dragged out further may start to disinterest fans.

Favorite Prohibition-era drama “Boardwalk Empire” returned Sunday, Sept. 16 to HBO at 8 p.m. Season 2 dramatically ended with bootleg king Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi) killing Jimmy Darmody (Michael Pitt), after learning he was trying to steal his enterprise. The third season will begin 18 months later at the end of 1922. New cast members this season will include Meg Chambers Steedle, a 2008 Northwestern Universi ty graduate. If you missed the first episode, be sure to see next week’s.

“The New Normal” had its series premier last week on NBC. The series will follow Los Angeles couple Bryan (Andrew Rannells) and David (Justin Bartha) as they try to have a baby. In a chance meeting, they find Goldie (Georgia King) ,the Midwestern single mom of Shania (Bebe Wood). Goldie and Shania travel to L.A. in the series opener after Goldie walks in on her low-life husband with another woman, not even letting her. Unable to afford staying in L.A., Goldie looks into being a surrogate mother and is paired with none other than Bryan and David. The show’s funny and a bit quirky and is worth a watch. Catch the next episode on Tuesday, Sept. 18 at 8:30 p.m.. If you can’t figure out where you recognize David from, he was the groom from “The Hangover.” You’re welcome.

No, you’re not a 15-year-old girl anymore, but that

doesn’t mean you don’t have a soft spot for “Gossip Girl” in your heart still. The 10-episode, 6th and final season will begin on Monday, Oct. 8 at 8 p.m. on The CW. With viewers last

May being left with the hopes for a Blair (Leighton Meester) and Chuck (Ed Westwick) lasting relationship, Dan (Penn Badgley) and Georgina (Michelle Trachtenberg) in Rome working on Dan’s next

novel, and Serena reverted back to her part-girl ways, the final 10 episodes have a lot of loose ends to tie up. Indulge in the guilty pleasure—how will you ever know who Gossip Girl really is?

Voter-approved political dramas Rise from the Dead: “The Walking Dead” Season 3

In recent years, television has experienced a rise in viewers with some shows breaking viewing records. “Glee,” “Modern Family” and other light-hearted shows have captured the nation’s hearts and are now a part of American culture. However, one darker show that has been highly praised by both critics and audience members is AMC’s “The Walking Dead.” This grotesque, horror-thriller has grabbed viewers since it started rising up from the ground in October 2010.

The show focuses mainly on Rick Grimes, a former sheriff deputy who got separated from his family right before an epidemic breaks loose that is causing people to turn into zombies, or “walkers.” In the first episodes, we followed him throughout the search for his wife and son, Lori and Carl. At the same time, we followed Lori and Carl’s story of adapting to this new world and accepting the loss of Rick. Later in the first season, the two groups managed to reunite and meet another group of survivors with which to travel.

With the family reunited, the newly formed pack had to find necessities in order to survive, but most importantly, they needed find a safe haven to at least maintain some form of normalcy in an undead dystopia. The team moved from a government building to a farmhouse at the beginning of the second season.

The second season increased the drama and tension to an unforeseen level, ending the season with a shocking twist. The walkers overran the farm the characters were sheltered at and Rick had to kill his best friend and fellow police partner, Shane, since he turned into a walker. It was dramatic ending to a tense season that has provided some of the best plot twists in recent memory - like when the young girl, Sophia came out of the barn as a walker! The last season was a poignant reminder of the adversity humans face in a disorganized society and how and showed how the characters adapted to a multitude of situations.

Last month at Comic Con, a trailer for season 3 was released to the public. Like the previous seasons, there are a lot of questions and rumors about what the next one has to offer.

Season 3 seems to be a big game changer to the plot. New characters are presented, new settings, more problems and of course more zombies! In my opinion, one of the biggest struggles that will probably be the central conflict is the power struggle between Rick and his group. This new town seems to be governed well and Rick’s swift and rash decisions might not be welcomed.

As election season heats up, a crop of new and returning political dramas are filling our Twitter feeds, TV review columns and DVR queues. In the midst of the buzz over new and notable political dramas on American cable television, it can be easy to miss the Danish show that many critics are praising as the best political drama on TV

“Borgen” (translated to: “The Castle”) won 2012 International British Academy of Film and Television Academy Award and has been hailed by Newsweek as “the best political show ever.” The series is a compelling portrait of national politics in Denmark featuring vicious parliamentary politics, international relations fraught with colonial history and complex media relationships among other issues.

The first season opens on an election well underway and follows Moderate Party leader Birgitte Nyborg’s rise to power during and after the election. Accompanying this main plot thread are a number of well-developed subplots including a young female reporter's role as a political TV host as well as her off-screen relationships that leave her trying to conceal her role in an emotionally wrought headline news story.

The show weaves together the public and private lives of its well-drawn characters to

create a powerful portrait of the Danish political scene and the politicians, media leaders and private interests who populate it.

The central issues “Borgen” examines, such as honesty and authenticity in political discourse and the role of the media establishment, are

questions that are familiar to American audiences.

At the same time, the series showcases a multi-party political system that operates very differently from the American two-party system, which helps the American viewer to gain a more nuanced understanding of how a European parliamentary government compares and contrasts with the US system.

Originally aired on Danish TV in 2010, “Borgen” was eventually syndicated by

the BBC in the U.K. and was finally brought to the United States via online broadcast on Link TV spoken in Danish with English subtitles. Episodes are available on Link TV for two weeks after they originally air.

“Homeland” debuted to much acclaim in 2011 featuring Claire Danes (Romeo and

Juliet, Temple Grandin) playing CIA agent Carrie Matheson opposite Damien Lewis's (Band of Brothers) Nicholas Brody, a wartime hero returning from Iraq after eight years of imprisonment. The first season follows Matheson as she follows a hunch that Sergeant Brody had become a secret terrorist operative in his time as a prisoner while she also struggles to keep her bipolar disorder under control. The suspense is constant as the season unfolds, keeping the audience guessing

at the truth and revealing new mysteries as old ones are solved. The first season is available on Amazon Prime Instant Video and the second season premieres September 30 on Showtime.

Another sophomore show is “Boss,” which entered its second season in late August. The title fits for a series that is about the notoriously corrupt world of Chicago politics. The first season chronicled the efforts of the Mayor of Chicago Tom Kane, played by Golden Globe winner Kelsey Grammar, to maintain power in the city while concealing a degenerative neurological disorder. Filled with names and places that will be familiar to the average Chicagoan, “Boss” brings the political genre close to home. The first episode season is available on Amazon Prime Instant Video and new episodes air on Fridays 8 p.m. Central Standard Time on Starz.

For a vintage twist and a throwback to '90s politics, “The West Wing” aired on NBC from 1999-2005. Current DePaul students may have only vague memories of the show's original popularity but this long-running network drama chronicling the work and lives of White House staffers set the standard for the fast-talking political drama. Shows like “Borgen” are in debt to writer Aaron Sorkin's artful blend of policy and personality in crafting the wildly popular political drama. All seven seasons are available on Amazon Prime Instant Video.

“The Office,” one of the most popular current comedy series, comes to an end with its ninth season premiering Sept. 20 on NBC. This series is best known for its crazy characters and witty writing within a plain and simple office that sells paper in a fictitious paper company named Dunder Mifflin. For those unfamiliar with the series, “The Office” is based off of a British show of the same name. The American version stars an all-star comedy cast, including Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, Mindy Kaling, BJ Novak and Ed Helms.

Each of these seven characters has played an important role throughout the series and has contributed to how the show has progressed over seven years. From Jim’s relationship with Pam, to Andy’s progression throughout his career at Dunder Mifflin, to the conclusion of Michael Scott, “The Office” has never disappointed its audience.

Each character has had a storyline, some completed and some still to be concluded. Many fans have said that “The Office” isn’t what it used to be back in the first several seasons. “The Office” has changed a lot over the past several years. Some say it has gotten worse and less funny, which is debatable. Regardless, it’s still a show worth watching for all fans to see part of comedic history come to an end. Several storylines that still need to be concluded in the

final season include the Dwight/Angela story as well as the State Senator/Oscar story. Dwight and Angela have an agreement to procreate five times for a child, which has never really panned out, until Angela unexpectedly becomes pregnant and the question of whose child it is will finally come into play. Additionally this season will reconcile the relationship between the State Senator and Oscar, after the State Senator made a visible pass at him.

Alongside the complicated four person storyline, there has been a planned spin-off of Dwight and his cousin’s farm intended to be titled “The Farm.” It will be premiered in an episode sometime this season. The audience reaction to the show will determine if this spin-off will be created. Jim and Pam’s completed storyline opens up once more in an upcoming episode where Pam’s ex-fiance, Roy, invites her

and Jim to his wedding.Kelly Kapoor (Mindy Kaling) and Ryan

Howard’s (BJ Novak) story arc won’t be continued much further as they have lesser roles in this season due to other projects (such as Kaling’s “The Mindy Project“) and two new cast members have been added to the season as customer representatives picking up Kelly’s numerous ignored customer complaints. Actor Bryan Cranston of “Breaking Bad” is scheduled to direct the fourth episode of this season titled “Work Bus.” Gabe Lewis’s (Zach Woods) future at Dunder Mifflin is still up in the air. Two of the biggest questions that this season intends to answer are: the possible return of Michael Scott and who exactly the “Scranton Strangler” is.

“The Office” still grows strong in its final season, and is worth watching to see how it all ends.

Say goodbye: “The Office” ends its run

By KEVIN CLEMENZAContributing Writer


18 | The DePaulia. September 17, 2012.

In director Rian Johnson’s new sci-fi thriller “Looper,” Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays an assassin – a looper – named Joe. Although extremely illegal, time travel is used by the mob, run by a devastatingly evil figure named the “Rainmaker,” uses time travel to kill people in the past.

There are several twists that Johnson throws at the viewer. Gordon-Levitt encounters himself from the future, played by Bruce Willis, and then finds out that he must, as a looper, “close the loop” – he must kill his future self.

All seems fine and well for Joe, who hangs out in clubs, until that fateful day comes when he is faced by his older, seemingly wiser self, and is unable to kill him. The moment in which each Joe look each other in the eyes is strange, as you see Joseph Gordon-Levitt‘s well-known face almost morph into a version of Bruce Willis’. The mob

that Gordon-Levitt’s character works for is not pleased that the Joe of the present could not kill the Joe of the future. Pandemonium ensues, with the

mob chasing both young Joe and older Joe, leading up to a spectacular twist climax.

Emily Blunt makes a spectacular raw performance

as Sara, a gritty, shotgun-toting farm owner. Bruce Willis’ vulnerability and internal conflict is also invigorating to watch.

Not only is the time travel theme believable and well-handled but the characters are well developed and the plot is sound and interesting.

“Time travel is a concept that has to be handled carefully,” said Johnson. “If you try to explain it too thoroughly, it gets out of control and can take up hours of your film.”

The idea for “Looper” came from a short film that Johnson made first and then later bloomed into a full-length futuristic thriller. Gordon-Levitt was excited to get involved from the start.

“I love working with Rian, like when we did his earlier film 'Brick,'” said Gordon-Levitt. “We work really well together, and it helps that we are great friends.”

But becoming a younger Bruce Willis, both in character and physically, was one of the most challenging transformations that Gordon-Levitt has taken on.

“We talked to our make-up artist, a very polite Japanese man, who told us that it simply wasn't impossible – you can’t make my face and Bruce’s look alike,” said Gordon-Levitt laughingly.

But many hours later, they had transformed his face with the use of prosthetics and extensive make-up to create a stunning resemblance. Even the mannerisms that Levitt displays in the film seem uncannily, even eerily, close to that of Willis’.

The movie displays hints of several different themes, but the tension between the young Joe and old Joe is an amazing example of finding personal identity. The actions of both Joes make sense, and that makes it incredibly hard to say who is “bad” and who is “good.” Both characters are flawed yet noble, selfish and at times selfless. Johnson shows both sides of the characters which makes the movie all the more deep and reflective.

It is also hard to peg down a certain genre for a movie of this scope. It turns from action to sci-fi to drama faster than you can comprehend; there are even hints of romance. This shows the masterful nature of the director, one who can incorporate all these elements into the film and still not lose the audience.

“Looper” is a powerful addition to Johnson’s already impressive résumé of films. If you only see one film this fall, go and see this incredible film by a phenomenal and up-and-coming director.

Joesph Gordon-Levitt at the "Looper" premiere at the Toronto Inter-national Film Festival on Thursday, Sept. 6, 2012.

Low-budget and fresh: “Beasts of the Southern Wild ”

“Beasts of the Southern Wild,” directed by Benh Zeitlin, is a low-budget, cinematic breath of fresh air.

The film chronicles the life of a young girl named Hushpuppy, who lives with her father in a small southern town called Bathtub.

The people of Bathtub that know their beloved community, which is surrounded by water, is slowly sinking and they struggle to survive in the face of extreme poverty and the rising waters around them. Their plight creates intense connections on the deepest and most human level that are translated perfectly on the big screen, an intimate feat that is hard to achieve.

With a mother who left her and a father who has fallen very ill, Hushpuppy’s resilience glows. She appears bound to her community and the world that surrounds her on an almost supernatural level. It’s a short film that radiates ingenuity and vivacity.

On a cinematographic level alone, the film is interesting and faceted enough to entertain an audience for its entire duration. When the stunning visuals in "Beasts of the Southern Wild" are coupled with dynamic acting, a poignant plot and flawless execution, they create an experience

that is wildly difficult to forget. Though the film would not achieve

the same effect without all of its unique pieces, actress Quvenzhané Wallis, who portrays Hushpuppy, is simply striking. The talent that emanates from her is absolutely liberating and intriguing. There is a sparkle in her eye that never seems to go fade. She makes for a film that cuts straight to the soul.

The film is not without its faults. The film is peppered with images of pig-like beasts approaching Bathtub. Though meant to symbolize approaching doom, they are poorly integrated and seem desperately quirky. The otherwise flawless film could have easily done without them, though its confidence and warmth easily subdues this minor hiccup.

“The movie was heartbreaking but inspiring which is hard to accomplish. It was surprising that a relatively unheard of director and cast could produce such an impactful film,” said sophomore public relations and advertising major Emily Simon, “I was so impressed with Quvenzhané Wallis. She was so adorable and strong. It’s no wonder she has received so much praise.”

“Beasts of the Southern Wild” is saturated with great features. Even in its grizzliest moments, it is gentle at its core. It is a brilliantly strange culmination of people and events that sets it in a category of its very own.

Artist makes stateside debut at the Museum of Contemporary Art

French artist Jimmy Roberts' work is on display for the first time in the United States at an exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) in downtown Chicago.

Also his first major museum exhibition, the French artist's ephemeral collection of pieces is entitled “Jimmy Roberts: Vis-à-vis,” literally meaning “face-to-face” but more often translated as “in relation to.”

The most striking component of this particular exhibit is the somewhat unique choice of medium. The works are mostly images printed in ink on large sheets of paper, unframed and hung intentionally to showcase the obsecure physicality of the medium.

Some works hang straight down on the wall while most are intentionally curled at the bottom, slightly distorting the image while at the same time bringing to mind the impermanent nature of the paper on which it is printed.

Roberts plays with the idea of permanence versus impermanence in particularly one piece. This piece is cleverly placed within the gallery so that after turning a corner into the

room, the viewer is immediately confronted with the piece. At first glance the piece seems to be a cardboard box with white sheets of paper scattered around it.

In fact, the sheets of “paper” are very thin sheets of aluminum painted white to resemble paper. This piece showcases Roberts' interest in the interplay between the permanent and impermanent, a common theme of the exhibition.

Other techniques Roberts employs in this series of work include transforming three-

dimensional materials into two-dimensional images by scanning and printing them, paper-folding, paper sculpture, found images, video and performance.

The artist boasts an i n t e r n a t i o n a l l y - o r i e n t e d biography. Born in Guadeloupe, he was educated in London and now lives and works in Brussels.

According to the MCA, Roberts “has exhibited frequently in Europe and Asia but “Jimmy Roberts: Vis-à-vis” is his first large-scale museum exhibition and his first major presentation in the United States.”

The Museum of Contemporary Art is accessible via the CTA Red Line Chicago stop and is located at 220 East Chicago, one block east of Michigan Avenue. “Vis-à-vis” will be on display on the first floor of the museum through Nov. 25.

The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday and student admission is

$7. On Tuesdays admission is free and the museum is open from 10 a.m.-8 p.m.

Free tours of the museum last about 40 minutes and depart from the lobby at 1 p.m. Wednesday to Friday, weekends at 12 a.m., 1 p.m., 2 p.m., and 3 p.m. and Tuesdays at 1 p.m., 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Visit http://mcachicago.org/ or call 312-280-2660 for more information.

This Saturday, former contestants from the reality competition series “Survivor” will race up thousands of staircases at Soldier Field for several charities of Illinois, such as Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and the Illinois Fire Safety Alliance for "Storm the Stadium."

For those unfamiliar with the series, “Survivor” is a 39-day competition where 16-20 people form two tribes compete on an isolated island for a chance to win $1 million. Players must learn to adapt to the elements or they are voted out of their tribe. “Survivor” has been a long-running series for over twelve years and heading into its 25th season this Wednesday, which is set in the Philippines.

The event this Saturday involves several teams with two

former “Survivor” contestants as captains. Every participant will attempt to scale the stadium with either a 3,000 or 6,000-stair climb. Registration to participate in this event has officially been closed, but registering as a spectator is open until Sept. 21.

In the fall at DePaul University, sororities begin their recruitment process. DePaul’s sororities strive to break the stereotype of movies and television that present sorority sisters as shallow and uneducated. Through philanthropy, the Panhellenic community comes together and helps potential recruits find “the house” that will be best for them, as they work to improve the lives of their sisters.

Made up of seven different chapters, the Panhellenic community at DePaul comes together each year to support one another in the recruitment process by leading each girl to the home where she will fit in the best. Unlike with fraternities, girls must register for recruitment. For one week, the girls get to know one another, share stories about each chapter and learn about each sorority’s history; the girls can then decide which house they feel most comfortable joining.

“We want to meet the girls who want to meet us,” sophomore Keena Prugh, a sister of Alpha Xi Delta said. “We want girls who aren’t cookie-cutter and will enhance the sorority. We are always striving for improvement, not just in the sorority, but in our

sisters.” With each chapter hosting

their own philanthropic events annually, the women have found a great way to get involved on campus, to help a charitable foundation and to ease into their role as a member of their sorority’s chapter.

"Chi Omega's variety show supports an incredible cause that is dear to our hearts – the Make-A-Wish Foundation,” Leigh Poellmann of Chi Omega said. “Not only does it involve the women of Chi Omega, every attendee becomes a part of something special and helps make a child's wish come true. It is an event that truly defines DePaul's mission to give back."

Sorority sisters believe that the opportunities that come with being in a sorority are endless, which in turn results in real-world experiences that complement their education at DePaul.

“Joining Alpha Xi helped me realize my potential,” Prugh said. “I gained a leadership position through which I have become better at managing my time. I’ve become more mature and I learned how to network and always put my best foot forward. These are skills and experiences that I can take with me to life outside of college.”

Chi Omega sister Vanessa

George states, “In joining a sorority I’ve found such a strong sisterhood, both within my chapter and within the [Panhellenic]

community. I’ve met so many inspirational women and I’m so glad I chose to be a part of this experience.”

Delta Zeta President Alexa Nelms agrees. “The Panhellenic community on our campus is very distinct,” Nelms said. “We support each other and help each other out as best as we can. I am involved in other groups on campus with sorority women of different chapters, and have strong bonds with them as well as my own chapter. It’s not to divide girls into separate groups, but rather to be a part of a larger whole.”

Emina Mahmutovic from Alpha Omicron Pi said, “Although our campus does have a smaller Panhellenic community, it works to our advantage because we are much closer to each other as a result of it. We support all the different chapters on campus to help our Panhellenic sisterhood grow. I’ve been able to meet so many wonderful women in all the sororities that make me proud to say I am a part of it.”

Women may be a part of different sororities, but in the end it is all one single Greek community of Panhellenic women. The girl sitting next to them during recruitment could be their future best friend, future roommate or even their future “big sister.” You never know what might come out of the experience. Friends come and go, but sisters are forever.

Real-life EtsyChicago citizens fiercely flocked to

the corner of Damen and Division for the 2012 Renegade Craft Fair the weekend of Sept. 8-9. Powered by several indie craft artists, people paraded the streets in search of the perfect handmade, original artwork to fit their needs.

The crafts on display varied tremendously from booth to booth. Posters, jewelry, woodcarvings and vintage clothing only scratched the surface of all the wonderful art on display. Behind each booth was an additional perk for serious shoppers. Designers and artists who created the crafts ran each booth and interacted with customers to answer any questions and concerns.

“This fair is definitely one that I look forward to each year,” said DePaul sophomore Charlie Wynne. “Every year I find myself leaving with more than I planned on—the creativity is truly amazing throughout the event.”

Of all the items occupying the fair, one select schoolwork item proved to catch the eye of several onlookers: notebooks.

“This was the only booth that specified in just notebooks and that really caught my eye,” said Moira Garee, another DePaul student. “I had never seen anything like them before. The entire fair was like that—there were so many different things to see.”

Each journal contained a unique cover

to hold the book together. The covers consisted of recycled library books utilized to form these new journals. Excerpts from each book were dispersed throughout the various journals. The likes of “Adventureland” and “The Lion King” were only a couple of the childhood works transformed into journals.

Independent, handmade crafts continue to create commotion amongst Chicago citizens who can hardly wait another full year until the next Renegade Craft Fair graces the city with its presence again in 2013.

Langford Market brings style to DePaul students

There are many shops you can visit while walking down Armitage Avenue—gift shops, restaurants, beauty shops, but mainly clothing shops. One in particular called Langford Market has a special connection with its customers. Located on 851 W. Armitage Ave., Langford Market is known as a third-generation store targeting daughters, mothers and grandmothers between the ages of 15 and 65.

The shop’s grand opening took place April 20 and they already started off with a bang.

"I heard about this store at my school,” said Langford Market employee and Art Institute of Chicago graduate student Jessica Rudy. “We had a career service lady that worked at the Art Institute; Courtney, the store manager, came and wanted to hire students.”

Every month the shop will hold three events, which include an underground fashion show, Fashion’s Night Out, and most recently DePaul’s "Back to School" event most recently. At these types of events, jewelry vendors are hired and catering is provided by Bleeding Heart Bakery. As customers are searching for articles of clothing

to wear, the employees interact with them and ask them about their day.

Langford Market is well-known for taking extra care of its customers, and the environment makes you feel as if you are in a fashion show. They have a nice selection of clothing suited for a night out in the city or classy wear for a more sophisticated look.

Shoppers can take advantage of great discounts and sales. Most of the clothing ranges from $20 to $80, but you can always find a good deal. DePaul students get 25 percent off every purchase and there is a buy-one-get-one-free deal on the necklace selection. The “pick your sales” discounts entail that if you spend $100 you get $50 off, or spend $150 and get $75 off. Langford Market even offers $25 off on your birthday.

“I have heard of Langford Market, but I haven't had a chance to go there and check it out,” said DePaul freshman management major Alexandra Kenyon. “But it's on my to-do list now. I think the discounts are awesome.”

In addition to great discounts and sales, the shop has a “Top It Off Thursday” where they serve wine to their customers (for those over 21).

Receiving new shipments of clothing every three to four days, there is never the same selection

at the shop. With the fall season approaching, they offer a great variety of coats and jackets as well as an amazing selection of clutch purses, bracelets, and clothing.

Jon Burgerman's cartoon-like characters adorning the corner of 16th and Laughlin Streets.

Street art brings life to barren Pilsen wallsArts & Life. September 17, 2012. The DePaulia | 23

Chicago streets are lined with more than just litter: the tough Chicago streets are also home to a large amount of public culture and street art.

Hoping to bring life to neglected or inactive areas in his ward, Ald. Danny Solis introduced “Art in Public Places: A 25th Ward Community Initiative,” a chance for street artists to leave their mark in many areas throughout Pilsen and the rest of the 25th ward.

Well-known street artists traveled from around the world this past summer to decorate the barren walls, including ROA, Brooks Golden, Jon Burgerman, RAE, OverUnder and more.

The first staple of ROA’s Chicago work lies on the corner of Sangamon and Kinzie. His graffiti piece depicts two decomposing ram carcasses in black and white. It may be impossible to understand exactly what the artist was thinking about as he created this, but perhaps this image is an attempt to express the fragile cycle of life and death experienced by all things. Perhaps it depicts something totally surreal and unreachable to the audience. Regardless, the artwork’s clean lines and extremely 3D features make the tan cement more beautiful, and absolutely more meaningful, than bricks alone could possibly be.

ROA’s second piece can be found on the corner of 16th Street and Ashland. This work depicts two rodent-like animals captured in time as they meet each other.

Jon Burgerman. Whereas ROA’s artwork is very realist ic, Burgerman’s artwork is much more cartoonish. In fact, he has worked with a British gaming company to develop the artwork for an addition to the video game “Little Big Planet.”

Burgerman’s work can be found on the corner of 16th and Laughlin. His painting depicts a group of colorful and cartoonish characters who rest upon the ambivalent wall behind them. Some are smiling while others dance. Donut and pizza people, apples and a monster smoking a cigarette adorn this bizarre scene. This painting seems to truly celebrate diversity and encourages coming together within a community of versatile and unique creatures to create something more beautiful than one monster alone could make.

The Blue Demons struggled in the 2012 Chicago Classic at Moth-er McAuley High School, dropping all three match-es of the tournament. In their opening match Sept. 8, the Blue Demons fell 3-0 (25-17, 25-12, 25-17) to No. 2 Penn State.

Freshman outside hit-ter Callie Huebener tal-lied seven kills, joined by junior Vesela Zapryano-va with six of her own. Fellow junior Allyson Rooks paced the defense with 13 digs. The Nittany Lions improved to 6-0

on the season, proving why they are one of the nation's top teams with a .470 hit percentage and only six errors.

The Blue Demons' nightcap second match of the tournament saw them lose a 3-0 decision (25-22, 25-16, 26-24) to rival UIC. Zapryanova once again asserted herself on offense, leading all play-ers with 16 kills. Her 13 digs were good for her third double-double of the season. Rooks tied her career-high with 16 digs.

In the finale of the tournament, the Blue De-mons went the five-set distance, but could not come away with the vic-tory, losing 3-2 (25-19, 25-12, 22-25, 22-25, 15-11) to Oregon State. Za-pryanova was named to the Chicago Classic All-Tournament Team, while DePaul dropped its re-cord to 3-6 on the season.

The Blue Demons will travel to Louisville, Ky. to kick off their Big East Conference sched-ule Sept. 21. That match kicks off at 6 p.m. CT.

VOLLEYBALL

SOCCER

STORRS -- Jim Calhoun officially retired as coach of the UConn men's basketball team on Thursday, but he's not going too far away.

Calhoun, who guided UConn to 625 wins and three national titles in 26 seasons at the helm, will start a new position as special assistant to athletic director Warde Man-uel, providing services to the university in support of men's basketball, the UConn Health Center and other areas.

He will serve in that ca-pacity until March 21, 2013.

"Then, we'll look at ev-erything and go from there," Calhoun said.

Upon his full retirement from the university, Calhoun will become head coach emeritus.

Kevin Ollie, the former UConn standout player and an assistant coach the past two seasons, becomes UCo-nn's 18th head coach. He has

signed a one-year contract that runs through April 4, 2013, and will be paid an an-nualized rate of $625,000.

"I am very honored and humbled to become the UCo-nn men's basketball coach," Ollie said in a statement re-leased by the university. "I cannot put into words how grateful I am to Coach Jim Calhoun, who retires today as one of the most legendary coaches in the history of col-lege basketball."

Calhoun finishes with an 873-379 overall record. His win total is sixth on the all-time list, behind only Mike Krzyzewski, Bob Knight, Jim Boeheim, Dean Smith and Adolph Rupp. He joins Krzyzewski, Knight, Rupp and John Wooden as the only coaches to win at three nation-al titles.

Calhoun is also third on the all-time games coached list (1,253).

He posted a 625-242 re-cord at UConn and a 311-183 mark in Big East play.

Ollie has never been a

head coach at any level and has only been a UConn assis-tant for two years. He was a standout player and two-time captain for UConn teams in the mid-1990s that won a pair of Big East regular sea-son titles and advanced to the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight. Ol-lie went on to play 13 seasons in the NBA for 11 different teams before retiring in 2009-10.

UConn sophomore guard Ryan Boatright said he found out about Calhoun's retire-ment through a text message from teammate DeAndre Daniels Wednesday evening.

"It was a shocker to ev-erybody," Boatright said, "but I believe Coach had to do what's best for him, his fam-ily and his health. We're still going to have to pull together and perform. KO's a great coach, I love to play for him. We're all going to miss Coach Cal cussing us out on the side-lines, but he had to do what's best for him."

BASKETBALL

The women's soccer team battled hard at the Minnesota Gold Classic, but was unable to muster a single goal in the two matches they played, falling 2-0 to Iowa State and 3-0 to Minnesota.

DePaul had entered the tournament having won or tied its last four matches, but could not spark its offense enough to get on the board against their opponents.

Against Iowa State, DePaul let in a quick goal in the sixth minute and, in desperate search of the equalizer for the remainder of the match, allowed Hayley

Womack's clinching goal with the clock winding down. The Iowa State side, as of the Sept. 7 match, has outscored its opponents 16-5 this season.

Against the Golden Gophers, the Blue Demons fared no better. Sopho-more Taylor Uhl recorded a hat trick off nine overall shots. Minnesota domi-nated offensive possession and outshot DePaul 24-8.

Junior defender Kylie Nordness and senior midfielder Kelly Blumberg were named to the All-Tournament Team.

TENNISHead coach Mark Ardizzone and the

women's tennis team announced their 2012-13 schedule Sept. 10. The Blue Demons will have a very challenging slate of opponents, including facing over 10 nationally-ranked teams.

The Blue Demons kick off their sched-ule with the three-day DePaul Invitational in Romeoville, Ill. Sept. 28-30. Four other tournaments, including Northwestern's Wildcat Invitational Oct. 12-14, round out the 2012 circuit.

In 2013, the Blue Demons start off with

the three-day Purdue Invitational Jan. 19-21. The first team the Blue Demons face in their non-tournament schedule is VCU, who is coming off a CAA Championship and its 13th NCAA Appearance.

The Blue Demons' first Big East duel match comes Feb. 15 when the team visits rival Marquette, before traveling to East Lansing, Mich. to face Michigan State.

The Big East Conference Championship is scheduled for April 18-21 in Tampa Bay, Fla. The Blue Demons will look to improve on last season's tie for third place finish.

worked out.”Bohr sees great potential in McDaniel

and has admired his willingness to step to the forefront of the men’s contingent.

“Eddie is one of the most coachable athletes that we have. He has a big heart and is very, very motivated,” said Bohr. “When he wants to do something, he sets his mind to it and it’ll take a lot to get in his way for it not to happen. He’s really good at taking care of himself and is very smart in his training. He’s stepping up as an example running, vocally and in any way we need him to.”

McDaniel’s performance in DeKalb, Ill. also earned him Big East Cross Country Athlete of the Week honors, but McDaniel humbly described the award as nothing more than a “nice honor.”

“I don’t really think of it as much more than that,” said McDaniel. “I have goals set for the end of the season rather than early on – most important is getting our team improved from last year. Individually, I’d like to get All-Big East, but I’m taking it one meet at a time.”

One of McDaniel and Bohr’s main goals is to keep the teams together, keeping their scores down as they finish closer together towards the front of the pack of competitors.

“We knew losing Matt Graham, we’d be losing a really good single-point scorer at the conference meet,” said McDaniel. “But we feel confident with the kids we have on the team this year – we know that even without [Graham] we’d be able to step up enough to still improve from last year, running more together rather than just letting him run off.”

Bohr and assistant coach Andrew Craycraft both feel strongly that the first

through seventh finishers will change each meet, “and that’s how you get a good team.”

“No one feels pigeonholed in their role

and everyone’s anxious to move up into the top three for each meet.”

The women have used the “one meet at a time” philosophy that McDaniel has

implemented, staying healthy and building up their confidence for the Big East Championships.

“We have a big change this year having lost eight seniors, so we’re much smaller this year,” said Bohr. “But the ladies are doing a great job of forming their new identity and setting a precedent for what we want in years to come. They’re showing excellent leadership and they’re very young, so I think what the future holds for them is great. Going into Big East, we just want to keep everyone healthy and get each girl on the team ready to go on Oct. 26.”

Jacqueline Kasal, who leads the women’s field, was the top Blue Demon finisher at both the NIU Open and the National Catholic Championships. The sophomore is “really playing her part this year,” according to Bohr.

“She came in healthy and fit, and she’s making the proper steps to get where she needs to be towards the end of the year,” said Bohr.

“Freshman Molly Shiroishi is showing herself to be a force on the team – she came in as a middle-distance runner but has really proven herself and shown that she can score some points for us. She doesn’t seem to have a lot of fear even though she’s a freshman.”

All that's left is to put this hard work into motion, taking it to the rest of the field.

“We’re really rolling with confidence. If we can maintain that through the next month, [both teams] will be going into the Big East’s running strong,” said Bohr. “We’re really just trying to make our presence known. Ultimately we don’t want to beat anyone until it really matters at the conference championships.”

a result of clear-cut chances. Eric Sorby made four saves in the half while his counterpart, Peter McKeown, made three.

DePaul grabbed the equalizer quickly in the second half behind Antonio Aguilar. Freshman forward Drew Dempsey, starting in his third consecutive match as a forward, pulled a nice turn in front of the Ramblers backline, feeding Aguilar in on goal. Aguilar was then taken down by McKeown to

draw the penalty, which the senior midfielder promptly put in the back of the net.

The win for DePaul comes following a 3-0 loss to the now ranked Southern Illinois-Edwardsville Cougars Friday night away from home. Severe weather pushed the match back from its scheduled 6 p.m. start time to 8:40 p.m.

“It’s the world,” Schultz said of grabbing a victory after Friday’s defeat. “We’ve had some bad luck against Western Illinois and Western

Michigan, lost to SIU-E. To come back to Wish Field is huge. We need to get a win Friday to keep this going.”

The victory in the Red Line Rivalry also has some added significance for the men’s soccer team, having already defeated UIC to open the season with a 2-1 win.

“One of our goals this year is to be the best Chicago team,” Schultz said. “We’ve got Northwestern left. It’d be great to get a sweep of the city teams.”

of.This means that the ever-improving Blue De-

mons should see a significant uptick in perfor-mance against new opponents like Houston and Southern Methodist University. The Big East still has great programs like UConn and Georgetown, but the tal-ent gap is quickly closing. Ever since DePaul moved from Conference USA to the Big East, winning has been a struggle. Put simply, the Blue Demons were severely out-matched upon entry. But as the young players mature and the team gets better, DePaul could soon become a dominant force in the conference.

DePaul has gone just 5-67 against the Big East in the last four years, including four straight losses to Notre Dame. Now that the Irish have joined Syracuse, West Vir-ginia and Pittsburgh in the migration to the ACC, their incredibly poor confer-ence record could make a push towards the .500 mark.

Although the shrinking talent gap benefits the Blue Demons, the changes in the con-ference may negatively impact DePaul on the recruiting front. Despite a lack of marked success, head coach Oliver Purnell always had a card to play when courting a potential player – the recruit would be able to play in the prestigious Big East Conference against the best basketball teams in the nation. With five top-tier teams now gone, is the Big East re-

ally prestigious in basketball anymore? Check out the list of

teams who will most likely be hit-ting the hardwood for the conference by

the 2015 season: UConn (though they have been rumored as a potential candidate for

relocation), Marquette, Georgetown, Louisville, Memphis, Rutgers, South Florida, SMU, Cincinnati, Temple, Central Florida, Houston, Providence, Seton Hall, St. John’s, Villanova and DePaul. Aside from the first four teams on that list, the Big East sud-denly looks very vulnerable. Add in the fact that UConn’s legend-ary coach Jim Calhoun retired on Thursday, as well as the university being suspended from the NCAA tournament in 2013, there seem

to be fewer and fewer reasons for a prime recruit to enter the Big East.

The biggest way that this could im-pact DePaul concerns the recruiting of No.

1 high school prospect and Chicago native Jabari Parker. Parker has been touted as one of the best

prospects since LeBron James, and DePaul has been on his list of possible schools for several months.

But now that the allure of Big East pres-tige has taken a hit, the chances of Parker

choosing DePaul have declined sharply. Parker's recruitment was a long shot in the first place, so he'll be likely to pick a school like Duke or Kentucky now.

So while DePaul will probably miss out on Parker, there's no doubt that the

Blue Demons' future looks promising in a new era of Big East basketball.



"MEN'S SOCCER" continued from back page "MEN'S TENNIS" continued from back pageA promising addition

to the team is Leusink, hailing from Lijnden, Netherlands, where he was ranked No. 92 in men’s singles. Leusink, who began playing tennis at the age of six, is not sure what to expect for this season but feels a great sense of teamwork and positive reinforcement from the rest of the squad during their rigorous six-day practice schedule.

“The team is like a big family. Everybody is working hard and motivating each other,” said Leusink. “It’s easier to give a little of bit extra in a hard workout when everyone is there helping you through it.”

Team camaraderie is essential during preparation because the Blue Demons have a tough schedule ahead of them. On the docket are tournaments across the country, including stops at Purdue, Baylor, Northwestern and Oregon.

“We’re trying to get guys exposure to different parts of the country,” said Brothers. “We’re primarily an international team, so we like to travel around a bit and see different things. We’re travelling out west this year a few times, Oregon and Arizona, for some good matches."

The Blue Demons also face challenges in Tennessee and Texas.“It’s a lot of tennis,” Brothers admitted. That’s exactly what he believes the team needs in order to compete at a

high level for both the fall and spring season. After earning a No. 5 seed in the Big East tournament last year, the Blue Demons have their sights set on improving and potentially bringing home a conference title.


George Chanturia was one of two gradu-ating seniors last season.

In many ways, the fall season is the start of new beginnings for DePaul men’s tennis after a disappointing end to the second half of last year. The Blue Demons suffered a 4-0 loss to the University of South Florida in the Big East Conference Championship to cap off an 11-15 campaign.

Matt Brothers is entering his sixth season as head coach of the men’s squad and remains optimistic for what is in store for the team this year.

“We didn’t finish where we wanted to be last year so I’ve moved on past that,” said Brothers. “We have more new guys on team than old this year. It’s a talented group and I’m excited to start working with them and see what we’re capable of.”

This season’s roster includes three familiar names – senior Mathias Hambach, junior Filip Dzanko and sophomore Adam Reinhart. Rounding out the other four spots are freshmen recruits Jan-Willem Feilzer, Paul John, Kyle Johnson and Sten Leusink.

According to Brothers, the fall season is about

preparing his players for the competitive head-to-head

matches coming up in the spring.

Two penalties and a late goal from junior Brian Schultz saw the men’s soccer team walk away from the Red Line Rivalry against the Loyola Ramblers with a 2-1 come-from-behind win Tuesday afternoon at Wish Field.

The midfielder’s goal came in the 81st minute off of his own rebound.

After trying to backheel Jalen Harvey’s header, Schultz picked up his own rebound and poked his shot through to the far post to give DePaul (2-3-0) a late lead towards the team’s second win of the season.

“It’s all a blur,” said Schultz of his first goal of the season. “Coach (Craig Blazer) has told us all year we need to be dangerous on free kicks and corners. Jared (Blincow) told me he was right there to tap in as well,

so the goal could have been scored by anybody.”

Blazer’s advice in the final 15 minutes of the match helped the team to victory, Schultz said.

“Coach told us to keep our composure, keep the ball, and control our passing,” he said. “I’m proud of the effort from our boys.”

That effort included coming back from a 1-0 deficit at half and grabbing both the equalizer and winner in the second half.

Loyola (0-4-0) took the lead minutes before halftime behind James Howe’s penalty. Freshman defender Harvey – making his first career start – tripped Eric Nock in the 40th minute to concede the spot kick. Howe calmly stepped up and buried the penalty to the center of the goal.

Loyola’s lead came after a fairly even first half in which both teams forced the opposition keeper into making saves, albeit not as

One breakout meet, according to men’s cross country runner Eddie McDaniel, is the key to potentially sparking an individual runner and in turn the rest of the squad, setting the pace for the rest of the lengthy distance-running season.

For this year’s men’s and women’s cross country teams, reveling in the past is not on their agenda. After respective ninth and 14th place finishes at the Big East Championships, the two contingents are hoping to take advantage of their youth and surprise teams at the conference meet in October.

With over a month left before the championships, the cross country teams are focusing on using every meet as a foundation-builder to solidify their pack mentality, racing together to keep scoring close.

“Last year we had a frontrunner in [senior

graduate Matthew] Graham, but didn’t have the backup of a good pack for [runners] two through seven that was consistently present all the time,” said assistant coach Leah Bohr.

Graham, the highest scoring Blue Demon and overall winner of two races last season, left big shoes to fill for the rest of the men.

But as junior McDaniel has shown in the first three meets of the season, he is emerging as a frontrunner and leader.

McDaniel won last week’s 6K NIU Open in a time of 19:02.34, crossing the line in front of all other competitors from Marquette, UIC and Chicago State University. He followed up the win with a 14th place finish at Friday's National Catholic Championships, hosted by Notre Dame.

Having spent a majority of the 2011 season injured, McDaniel used his desire to return to the course as fuel to compete to the fullest this year.

“I’ve come into this season with the feeling that every meet I go into, I can win it,” said McDaniel. “The NIU Open was a lift off my shoulders – I knew I could win races, I just needed it to happen to confirm it for me. I stuck to running away from the field and the strategy
