Northwestern Wildcats football

Chicago. On November eleventh she mentions taking transportation to Wilmette to go to the bank, and then walking home. On the same day she also attends a Northwestern University football game, going to Noyes Street, and taking the L home. And finally, on the twelfth she writes that she walked with a friend to Highland Park. All of this evidence suggests that she lives, works, and shops to the North of Chicago near Wilmette, as she would need to be in walking distance of downtown Wilmette and near Highland Park. In the diary there are also some clues as to Dorothy’s age, although she does not explicitly mention it. On November seventh she writes about casting her first presidential vote for Hughes. The voting age in Illinois at the time was 21, so if this was the first time she was able to vote she would have had to be between 21 and 24 so as to have been able to vote in this election but not in the last. On almost every day, Dorothy mentions what she did for fun in the evening. On at least eight out of the fourteen diary entries, she writes that she read before going to bed, often by the fire. Additionally, she writes the she sewed on the evening of November fourteenth. She also writes about some activities she does with friends or coworkers. On November eleventh she gets asked to go to a Northwestern University football against Iowa, and on the same day she mentions going to a concert in the evening with a Wagner program. On a few days, she also mentions going out to…

Even though there are a majority of people with this movement, many argue that paying athletes is near impossible. There are opposing sides that claim colleges and smaller colleges could not afford to pay these athletes. It would be hard to imagine how these schools wouldn’t be able to pay these players. Karaim writes in his article about how the NCAA is a multibillion dollar industry. He claims that the NCAA should be able to afford and assist these colleges with the billions of dollars that…

The city of Chicago has faced controversy for quite for time. Many claim the city has become so corrupt, that the trail leads all the way up to the city’s mayor, Rahm Emmanuel. Corruption is one of the major problems Chicago faces and Mayor Rahm Emanuel is the face of the corruption that plagues the city. In an article written by Judith Valente, Can Chicago offer a path away from gun violence? She states “More than 2,800 people were shot in Chicago last year, and by December 2015 there had been…

In wildcat strikes, workers didn’t bother to go through the UAW at all and ignored the grievance procedures that were in place by the UAW because they knew that the only way they could press their demands would be to strike and negotiate at the gates of the industry instead. The way they organized outside of the workplace was by use of media. The workers realized that not only material was needed but also cultural means to make a change. They recognized that there needed to be media that was…

athletes themselves) are allowed/permitted to be represented by an agent, receive benefits from an agent/prospective agent, contact professional teams, as well as receive “prize money” above (many times well above) their actual and necessary expenses. Each, and every one of the aforementioned claims are directly prohibited to NCAA athletes due to the amateurism clause. I see this as a large double standard being portrayed by the NCAA. Another example of just how much money is coming into…

in depth since 2003. Our Army has marginalized the importance of this critical task for the better part of 15 years.

complete their eligibility” (Lewis). So if they are handled as if they are in a business why shouldn’t they get a little compensation? Should college athletes be paid? On one side of the debate people who are for it state it brings in revenue, helps manage their career, and gives them money after college. On the other side people give a counter argument stating that sports wouldn 't be fun, competitive disadvantage for small schools, and students would worry more about their career. Both…

Coming into college I found I only had a passion for one thing, soccer. I have played soccer since I was four years old, so the opportunity to play collegiate soccer is the sole reason I decided to attend Concordia University Irvine, but little did I know this would be the best decision of my life thus far for a much different reason. Within my first semester I had changed my major three times. I applied to Concordia as a psychology major, then switched to business, and finally found my calling…

This is why athletes should not be paid. Meaning, college athletes should focus on studying academics, rather than practing on the field. In addition, they can stay in school and keep their academics up for 4 years toward their degree (Cooper). Subsequently, the National Basketball Association and National College Athletes Association requires this from the athletes. In order to be drafted, they must fulfill these requirements. One: attend a university for at least 1 year or 4 years. Two: Have…
