servIng the unIversIty And evAnston sInce 1881

By Danny DalyTheDailyNorthwesterndailynorthwestern.com/sports

Standing over his golf ball in the middle of the 18th fairway, Fran Quinn knew the stakes. If he didn’t nail his approach shot,

his dream of making it back to the PGA Tour would have to be put on hold for the 18th straight year.

The 44-year-old Northwestern alumnus was 169 yards short of the flag and had just watched his playing partner, Blake Adams, hit his second shot safely onto the green in the blus-tery final-day conditions.

The two shared the lead in the 2009 Albertsons Boise Open at 13-under-par through 71 holes, though they took dif-ferent paths to reach that score. While Adams had been in first place since the opening round of the Nationwide Tour event, Quinn had never led the tourna-ment outright.

A win would catapult him into the top-25 in Nationwide Tour earnings, the cutoff for receiving a PGA Tour member-ship the following year. It had been nearly two decades since the Worcester, Mass., native last played regularly at the highest level, and he was anxious to get back.

After consulting his caddy, Quinn grabbed his 8-iron. His main advan-tage over Adams was familiarity with the course: Quinn was playing at Hill-crest Country Club for the 12th year, whereas Adams had competed in only two prior Boise Opens.

That experience paid off on Quinn’s next swing, perhaps the most important one of his career.

“I had played that golf course enough to know where I had to hit the

ball,” Quinn said. “Right when it left my club, I said, ‘Well, that’s as good as I’ve got.’ I thought, based on the crowd reaction, that it was about two inches (away from the hole).”

When Quinn walked up to the green, he discovered his ball wasn’t quite that close. He still had to make a tricky, downhill three-and-a-half-footer. But after Adams missed his birdie try, Quinn’s putt found the bottom of the cup to give him a one-stroke victory.

With winnings of $130,500, Quinn jumped up to 18th on the money list and seemed to be in an ideal position to secure his PGA Tour card.

“I anticipated after he won the Boise Open, if he played OK, he was more than likely going to make it,” former college teammate Jim Benepe said.

Quinn ended up earning his exemp-tion after all, though the process caused more stress than he would’ve preferred. Of course, nothing has ever come easily during Quinn’s career—not that he gets discouraged. He embraces the opportu-nity to make a living by playing the game he loves, even if that game doesn’t always love him back.

“alWays a FOursOme”In New England golfing circles, the

Quinn family is like royalty.Quinn’s father, also named Fran, was

a standout amateur golfer in Massachu-setts who won various tournaments in the 1960s, including the 1966 New Eng-land Amateur Championship. Kevin and Brian, Quinn’s younger brothers, cap-tured the Massachusetts Open in 1999 and 2003, respectively. And Quinn him-

18 years later, NU grad returns to PGA

By Brittney WongTheDailyNorthwesterndailynorthwestern.com/evanston

Evanston’s Office of Sustainability recently teamed up with Northwest-ern students to promote green prac-

tices among local busi-nesses.

The city is participating in ComEd’s Community Energy Chal-lenge, a pro-gram that re-wards busi-nesses for up-grading facil-ities to re-duce their carbon foot-prints. Last June about 12

municipalities in the area obtained funds through the program. Evan-ston requested $350,000 to disperse among willing participants, which must be spent by Feb. 28, or the rest will be returned to ComEd.

ComEd, the electric utility for northern Illinois, extended the pro-gram’s deadline Monday afternoon. To take advantage of the extension, Evanston is working with NU volun-

teers, who go door-to-door to explain to proprietors ways they can make their business more environmentally friendly, specifically through lighting changes such as switching from in-candescent bulbs to compact-fluores-cent bulbs. Many of these alterations will eventually prove more economi-cal to business owners.

Weinberg sophomore Andy Ho-baugh, one of the volunteers who canvasses small businesses to adver-tise the challenge, was pleased to hear about the extension.

“It’s only a good thing,” Ho-baugh said. “It will mean more businesses will get involved and do something in the next month to cut their energy costs.”

The original deadline was Jan. 31, so the city gained much needed time to distribute the funds.

“At the moment we’re not going to reach $350,000,” Sustainable Pro-grams Coordinator Carolyn Collopy said. “A lot of these projects are pretty small and the incentive amounts on average are $1,000 to $2,000. That requires a lot of cus-tomers to participate.”

The Office for Sustainability be-gan publicizing the competition in July, with a meeting at the Evanston Chamber of Commerce in Septem-ber, but getting the word out has proven difficult.

“We’ve had a hard time reaching businesses, specifically our smaller commercial customers,” Collopy said.

NU volunteers are discovering similar results. McCormick senior Robbie Pickering said going door-to-door leads to logistical problems.

“It’s sometimes hard because a lot of the time the business manager or owner won’t be in,” Pickering said. “It’s hard to try to fit it into your schedule and make sure you talk to the people you need to talk to.”

Hobaugh said businesses will eventually have to switch from T12 light bulbs to the more environmen-tal T8 variety by 2011 because the Department of Energy is phasing them out, but those that make the change now will earn back money for their trouble.

“A lot of these restaurants are re-ally interested in switching over to more efficient technology because they know that in the long run it’s going to save them money,” he said.

At the moment businesses re-ceive 25 to 50 percent reimburse-ment as part of an incentive to im-prove facilities.

Despite a slow start in the compe-tition, Collopy said she is optimistic for the remainder of the challenge.

“Last year we only had about five applications from Evanston through the ComEd program, and this year I think we’re up to about 30,” Collopy said. “And I know there’s going to be more.”

The Evanston City Council ap-proved purchase of a new fire en-gine funded mostly by a $500,000 donation from Northwestern.

Ald. Ann Rainey (8th) had only one question for Fire Chief Alan Berkowsky regarding the vehicle:

“Will it be red?”During the council meeting,

Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl thanked NU for funding another fire truck after giving the city a truck last fall.

“I liked fire engines a lot when I was a kid, and I find I like them a lot as an adult these days,” Tisdahl said. “So thank you, Northwestern.”

The Premedicine and Professional Health Careers Programs aim to meet the needs of college graduates who

wish to change their career paths and apply to medical school or to seek a career in professional health.

The programs prepare students to apply to schools of medicine and related professions (dentistry, veterinary

medicine, physician assistant, pharmacy, osteopathy, podiatry), as well as programs for physical therapy,

nursing and clinical psychology. These concentrations are designed for students who have a bachelor’s degree

but have not completed or have never taken the courses generally required for admission to these schools.

The big man on campus wears two hats —president and professor.

In addition to his executive duties, Uni-versity President Morton O. Schapiro has found time to teach an economics class and plan a new course that could be offered Winter Quarter 2011.

Schapiro is teaching Economics 341-0: Economics of Education for the second con-secutive quarter. Because class enrollment is limited to 15, students can interact with Schapiro on a one-on-one basis, said Samir Pendse, who took the class in the fall.

“(Schapiro) really enjoys engaging a lot of discussion with students,” the Weinberg se-nior said. “He wants to talk to students. That’s what makes it really great.”

Students who were interested in enroll-ing in the class were required to submit their transcript, along with a short state-ment explaining why they were interested in a course on financing higher education. According to CTEC evaluations, the class “feels more like ‘a chat with Schapiro: an insider’s view of higher education.’” Other students wrote, “Schapiro is extremely en-gaging,” and, “Morty is the man.”

Assessments in the course encouraged pro-fessor-student interaction, too. Instead of tradi-tional exams, students met with Schapiro in groups of three for assessments, Pendse said. Each student had a paper prepared before the meeting, and they discussed and critiqued one another’s work with Schapiro, Pendse said.

Schapiro also invited his class over for din-ner, so students were able to interact with him in a non-academic setting, he said.

“Even though he’s the president of the Uni-versity, he allowed a level of access to him that I

actually haven’t experienced from any other professor,” Pendse said.

Schapiro is also organizing an interdisciplin-ary course which may be offered next winter. He plans on co-teaching the course with Saul Mor-son, professor of Slavic language and literature.

The course would be about choices and alter-natives and would include aspects of economics, literature, philosophy and ethics, Morson said.

Collaborating with Schapiro has been a great experience, he said.

“He’s clearly a real thinker and a real teacher,” Morson said. “He has wonderful teacher genes and understands students and loves teaching.”

Although the course is still in the planning stages, both professors will be very involved and will be at lecture everyday, Morson said.

“The idea is to show how different disciplines sync up,” he said.

The class, which would be in a lecture setting with more than 100 students, is similar to classes Schapiro has taught in the past.

“I’m used to teaching really large courses,” Schapiro said.

Schapiro said he likes the “common expe-rience” of large classes.

“Whether (students) are in dorms or in SPAC working out, they can say, ‘Hey, that was a bad lecture, wasn’t it?’” Schapiro said. “Or maybe it was a good lecture.”

Although teaching with professors who have backgrounds in other disciplines is challenging, Schapiro said he is up for the task.

“I’m psyched to teach with Saul and to teach this course,” Schapiro said. “I’ve taught with an English professor, a biologist and a philosopher in the past. I’ve actually taught with a chemist back at USC.”

Schapiro and Morson are meeting period-ically to discuss the course, Morson said.

“He signs e-mails ‘president and profes-sor,’” he said. “That tells the world right there about his priorities.”

When Travis White-Schwoch lived on campus, he had to inform dining hall staff of where, when and what he would eat 12 hours in advance of a meal.

The Weinberg junior is allergic to dairy.Students with food allergies will find flex-

ibility with Sodexo, said Megan Camp-bell, the food provid-er’s district dietitian.

Those seeking ac-commodation on campus meet with Campbell to work out possible alternatives to standard dining hall fare.

“I make sure that wherever they’re go-ing to be dining, we have appropriate food available,” Campbell said.

After students meet with her, she connects them to staff in the dining halls who work with students to ensure food is prepared safely.

White-Schwoch said he found Sodexo’s so-lution to his dairy allergy too restrictive. He was told to work directly with the dining halls so they could prepare a special meal, he said.

“I couldn’t predict exactly where and when all of my friends were going to eat,” he said. “I also didn’t want to prescribe every meal 12 hours in advance.”

Weinberg junior Lauren Hild is gluten-intolerant. She eats most of her meals in Allison Hall, where she is a resident.

“The dining hall staff does a really good job to accommodate for me,” she said. “They make a different meal for me for dinner.”

Hild said she applied to reduce the mini-mal required meal plan through NU.

“There just wasn’t enough I could get,” she said.

According to an nuCuisine document available online, students living on cam-pus may be released from the meal plan requirement if they provide medical docu-mentation.

Campbell assists about 20 to 30 students each year to work around dietary restrictions within the meal plan. She said her goal is that every student be able to eat on campus.

“Students at Northwestern are so busy that, to me, it would be very hard to plan, shop and prepare meals,” Campbell said. The most common allergy she works with is a glu-ten intolerance like Hild’s.

Although White-Schwoch said he had to supplement the meal plan with off-campus food, he could often find options on campus.

“I could usually do, if nothing else, a salad bar,” he said. “I could eat pretty well in places like Willard and Plex, where it was more flexible and not institutional prison-style.”

Hild said her experience with dining halls is mostly positive.

“I can’t just go anywhere and eat, but they’ve been very helpful and very consider-ate,” she said. “I haven’t had any problems.”

Academics: Medill Professor Douglas Foster read an excerpt of his book Monday detailing his trip to Africa in 2007. Speaking to an audience of about 25, Foster discussed his personal, one-on-one meetings with South Africa’s president Jacob Zuma, getting the meetings by means of “two years of being stubborn” and contacting various old friends and allies of Zuma. Foster also spoke of Zuma’s political problems resulting from a blending of Zuma’s public and private life.

As an American abroad, I have found I am some-times called upon to stand up and explain our cul-

ture, our government and its actions to inquiring locals. This can often be a terrifying ordeal.

Just the other day in class, the Iraq War was brought up and I could feel the eyes in the room start to shift their glares toward me, like it was my responsibility as an Amer-ican to defend the entire debacle. The experience got me thinking about the proper role of the U.S. in the currently changing world.

For much of the past 60 years, the U.S. has done pretty much whatever it wanted in terms of global action. We basically set up the entire global political structure after World War II. From Central America to the Middle East to Southeast Asia, the U.S. has pretty much been able to intervene in countries’ internal affairs whenever it deemed necessary, as the sole re-maining superpower. And there

was only some mild international grumbling to worry about.

However, as some countries’ global economic and political clout has exploded over the course of the last decade or so, the U.S. has started to have to re-evaluate how it deals with other countries. Presi-dent Barack Obama came into of-fice pledging to negotiate with lead-ers of countries we may not have negotiated with in the past. His most recent trip to China showed the U.S. was unable to continue pushing the Chinese on human rights, thanks to our financial situa-tion, and this whole loss of prestige originated with the military over-stepping of the Bush administra-tion. But this relative decline, though disheartening, could turn out to be a positive development if we decide to intelligently play the hand we’ve been dealt.

At this point, you may be saying, “Hey, aren’t you the guy who just a few weeks ago was droning on about how awesome America is? What are you, some kind of flip-flopper?” But, au contraire, I would say our current situation could allow for us to in-crease America’s awesome-ness and even possibly further its spread around the globe. There’s been a lot of talk recently about the importance of global governance in this era of in-

creased international interconnect-edness. The U.S., as the most power-ful nation in the world, could have a significant level of influence in modi-fying the current international sys-tem of governance in a way that coin-cides with our national beliefs in de-mocracy, human rights and liberties, and free and fair trade. If we act quickly and enthusiastically, the U.S. could shape the increasingly global-ized world in a way that promotes those values which we deem to be universally good and applicable.

But if we don’t attempt to do anything in that regard and just continue down the path of relative global decline, we will eventually lose our unique level of influence to shape the future in a meaningful and positive way with other coun-tries that don’t exactly share our views on democracy and human rights. China comes to mind here.

If we do act quickly and enthusi-astically, we may redeem the tar-nished reputation of our great coun-try, and students studying overseas will finally be free of the glares and passive-aggressive comments of their foreign peers—at least until the rest of the world starts watching “Jersey Shore.”

Jobs carries Apple to unsurpassed success

Termed the “iSlate” by followers, Apple’s newest device promises to be truly revolutionary.

Are you going to buy the cutting-edge touch tablet? Probably not, right? But that’s what people said about the iPhone, and the iPhone is now the most popular phone in America.

I remember when I first saw the iPhone. I had heard about it and had wanted one, but didn’t seriously think I would buy one for the price of $600. But then I went to the Ap-ple store, and it was unlike anything I had seen before. Twenty minutes later, I was walking out with a small Apple bag.

When you think about it, Apple has been doing this for years. Com-panies like Microsoft and Google are very capable, but neither match Apple’s leadership in the consumer electronics sector. And that’s be-cause of one man: Steve Jobs.

Jobs’ leadership is notorious in Silicon Valley. He’s a brilliant guy, but he’s described as one of the hardest bosses around. Known for firing people if they bring anything less than the best, Jobs’ desire for perfection is well documented. If you disagree with him, you might get fired. If he’s having a bad day and you piss him off, you might even get fired for that. Despite all that, I think he’s one of the best CEOs in the world, and we need more people like him.

Pay for paper online so journalism can recover

It finally seems the rest of the world might be catching on. More big-name newspapers are starting to make moves, and perhaps we journal-ists will be making money once again!

The New York Times announced last week it will begin to charge for some of its online content in 2011. Not all of it, mind you, but after a certain amount of clicks and article views, readers will be asked for a flat fee to continue viewing the “paper.”

The New York Times has at-tempted to make people pay for on-line content before, but it has yet to find the very elusive perfect solution. The Wall Street Journal is one of the only other newspaper sites to charge people for content—and perhaps its model is working because of the pop-ularity of this household paper.

Magazines have also recently come up with a way for readers to pay for online content, so the freedom of the Internet doesn’t completely over-power the industry. An iTunes for magazines is supposed to launch sometime this year. It will be a virtual storefront, which leaves me with one question: If iTunes for music has killed the record industry, what effect will iTunes have on magazines?

Regardless of all the new prob-lems that may arise from these inno-vative ideas, one thing is for sure: Journalism will survive. Medill stu-dents from around the world will no longer have to be embarrassed about discussing their major.

millennials “gettingdasmalefitz:part2” By Steven A. Berger

Republicans nationwide are chanting something unexpected: “Scott Brown: You make my

dreams come true.”Massachusetts has elected

Scott Brown, a Republican op-posed to the health care bill, to fill Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat. Sud-denly, the Democratic filibuster-proof majority has been broken, and Republicans are elated.

But Republican euphoria may be temporary. Brown’s victory may become the biggest Democrat coup since the election of Presi-dent Barack Obama—the emer-gence of a bipartisan coalition.

Americans are undecided on the health care bill, according to a Jan. 20 USA Today/Gallup poll. Forty-six percent would tell their members of Congress to vote for the bill, while 48 percent would not. Additionally, health care is not perceived as a priority—55 percent of voters said they support sus-pending negotiations on the bill.

Contrary to media hype, Brown’s victory was not a referen-

dum on health care. Only 56 per-cent of Massachusetts voters listed health care as their primary factor in voting in the Jan. 19 spe-cial election, according to the Rasmussen Reports. Voters also did not chose a candidate utterly opposed to health care reform—Brown voted for the 2006 Massa-chusetts health care overhaul and supports certain elements of the health care bill. He does not rep-resent dogmatic and uncompro-mising opposition.

Perhaps then, it is time to reas-sess the political landscape. With Brown’s potential openness to compromise and Sen. John McCa-in’s stated willingness to revisit health care, Obama is presented with the opportunity of a lifetime. He must now seize it: Welcome Brown into the Senate and begin negotiations on a new compromise bill spearheaded by McCain, Brown and Democrat leadership that can gain the support of most Americans.

Despite the wide fractures be-tween parties, the potential for

compromise is not quixotic. Ameri-cans already agree on many key points of any potential health care bill—they want tort reform, a health insurance exchange, a pub-lic option, coverage for patients with preexisting conditions and for the wealthiest of Americans to be taxed to help finance the bill, ac-cording to the Rasmussen Reports.

Rather than fight a long and constitutionally murky war against Brown to salvage the current health care bill, Democrats should be keen to capitalize on his elec-tion by adopting an incremental approach that satisfies the needs of most Americans—a tactic polls show most Americans support.

By embracing McCain’s call for bipartisanship and including Brown in negotiations, Democrats may be able to quickly pass legis-lation that will have Obama—and most Americans, too—singing, “Scott Brown: You make my dreams come true.”

Police Blotter

Student’s wallet stolen from coat pocket while at SPAC

A male Northwestern student discovered his wallet missing while exercising Saturday at Sports Pavilion and Aquatic Center, police said.

The student arrived at SPAC, 2311 Campus Drive, at 8 p.m. and hung his coat on a rack in the lobby, NU Deputy Police Chief Daniel McA-leer said. He left his wallet in a coat pocket.

When the student returned a half-hour later after playing basketball, his wallet was missing, along with his Ohio driver’s license and various credit cards, police said.

There are no leads, McAleer said.

Officials assist intoxicated female student in Shepard

Northwestern police and Evanston fire offi-cials assisted an intoxicated female NU student early Sunday morning, police said.

A community assistant at Shepard Residential College, 626 University Place, called the police to help the student at 2:30 a.m., McAleer said.

The student signed a waiver and was re-leased without further treatment, police said.

from a trip to Washington, D.C., and the council recognized her accomplishments there regarding the city’s acquisition of a Neighborhood Stabilization Program grant from the federal government. The grant was created to aid communities that have suffered from foreclosures due to the recessionary economy.

Tisdahl said Evanston was one of only 60 cities in the U.S. to receive that fund-ing.

“I’d like to thank Mayor Tisdahl for staying true to her campaign promises and bringing back money,” Rainey said.

“Now we should look at opportunities to spend that money.”

Toward the end of the meeting, Ald. Li-onel Jean-Baptiste (2nd) acknowledged members of the Evanston community for their relief efforts in response to the dev-astating earthquake in Haiti two weeks ago. Jean-Baptiste, who is Haitian, said the volunteering, brainstorming and fund-raising efforts mean a lot to Haitian-Americans in Evanston.

“The community has been very forth-coming in their givings, and I’d like to say thank you to the city of Evanston on behalf of the entire Haitian-American community in general,” Jean-Baptiste said.

Earlier in the evening, the Planning and Development Committee voted to re-scind changes made to the definitions of Type-1 and Type-2 restaurants in Septem-ber and to return to earlier specifications. These categories dictate if the city can regulate the workings of the establish-ment, such as by enforcing litter clean-up or altering hours of operation.

“Old Type 1 and old Type 2 definitions really gave us a lot more control,” Ald. Judy Fiske (1st) said.

Originally, Type-1 restaurants were categorized as sit-down establishments, whereas fast food places are Type 2.

The new description categorizes any establishment with 30 percent or more of its food being consumed off-site as Type 2 in order to accommodate new, “hybrid” restaurants where customers sit down to eat, but bus the tables themselves.

Fiske said this would allow tradition-ally Type-2 restaurants like Burger King to assert themselves as Type-1 establish-ments. The commit-tee eventually de-cided to ask city staffers to edit the original wording and include aspects of both definitions, such as factoring in the percentage of food eaten off of the restaurant’s prem-ises.

A controversial proposal to ban the use of cell phones while driving was introduced, al-though the aldermen have not yet voted on the measure.

Evanston resident James Heller, presi-dent of the Evanston Bicycle Club, said drivers who are texting are often too dis-tracted to notice bikers riding by.

“Some of our riders have reported being involved in accidents with motor vehicles driven by distracted drivers,” Heller said.

“I hope this ordinance is passed.” A special council meeting will be held

self claimed a Massachusetts Amateur and Mas-sachusetts Open title.

The Quinn siblings played many different sports as kids before ultimately following in their father’s footsteps. As the eldest son, Fran was the ringleader.

“It was a great way to grow up,” Brian Quinn said. “Frannie kind of nurtured us along the way and helped us all become a lit-tle better. He was a great role model for us… Any son looks at his dad, kind of wanting to do what your dad did. Frannie followed my father, and then we all followed him.”

Fran developed his love of golf from tag-ging along with his father to the course, cad-dying for Fran Sr. and collecting his hits on the driving range.

“When I first started, I used to shag balls for him,” he said. “When I came in, he let me hit five or six or seven balls. That’s kind of how I got hooked on it.”

Once Fran got older, he worked on his skills at Pleasant Valley Country Club in Sut-ton, Mass., by playing almost every day dur-ing the summer. He often had company, say-ing one of the benefits of a large family was that, “We always had a foursome.”

It was during his childhood that he de-veloped the work ethic and determination that eventually helped him make it back to the PGA Tour—more out of necessity than anything else.

“When you’re one of seven kids, you’d bet-ter have some perse-verance,” Brian Quinn said. “He’s always had that. That’s actually the perfect word I would use for him—perseverance. He’s stuck to his program, he knew he could do it, and he did it. He worked extremely hard and has sacri-ficed a lot.”

Fran became the most successful profes-sional golfer in the family. A back injury forced Brian into coaching after a career playing mostly overseas, and he now leads Temple’s golf program and runs a teaching academy. Kevin made his impact on the am-ateur level, winning the New England Ama-teur like his father did.

An EvAnston EducAtionBoasting a strong junior golf record, Fran

attracted plenty of attention from colleges. Schools in the Atlantic Coast Conference were particularly interested at first.

Then NU coach Wally Goodwin heard about him from one of his golfers, and the Wildcats entered the picture.

“Frannie came with Michael Stone as a re-sult of me recruiting Jim Benepe,” said Goodwin, who piloted NU from 1981-87. “I was talking to Jim one time, and I said, ‘Jim, who are the two fiercest competitors among the junior golfers you know who would be el-igible to come here?’ And he mentioned Mike Stone and Frannie Quinn.”

Quinn was drawn to NU’s combination of academics and athletics, though he joked, “I wish the football team was a little better.” Goodwin’s expertise and personality also played a factor in Quinn’s decision to attend college in Evanston.

Almost immediately after Quinn ar-rived on campus, Goodwin noticed Quinn needed to make a grip correction with his left hand.

“The way he held onto the golf club, it was just an automatic hook—which is a trait of kids coming out of junior golf,” Goodwin said. “They all have these huge, strong left-handed grips so they can hook the ball and hit it with the older players.”

But Quinn (Communication ’87) worked hard to make the change, even after graduat-ing from NU. When Goodwin saw Quinn play at Pebble Beach a few years ago, the re-tired coach recalled being impressed with his pupil’s smooth swing and consistency.

In addition to compiling high finishes for the Cats, Quinn was popular amongst his teammates.

“One of the most fun players I ever had—always telling jokes, always laughing, always pulling tricks on people,” Goodwin said. “I could just tell the other kids loved him.”

Goodwin also called that team one of the most enjoyable he ever coached, which is high praise coming from someone who later

won a national title at Stanford and men-tored Tiger Woods.

During Quinn’s NU days, his passion for golf was evident in his practice habits. So his perse-verance comes as no surprise to players like Be-nepe, who had a short PGA Tour career himself and won the first event he ever played in.

“The overriding factor was he really enjoyed playing golf and working at it,” Benepe said. “I did it for 15 years, but for me, it was more of a talent. Whereas Fran, he loved it. I can see where he would stay at it this long.”

thE “crAsh dAvis” of GolfThe last title any golfer wants to hold is “Na-

tionwide Tour veteran.” No one hopes to spend his career toiling in golf’s minor league, where the purses are one-tenth as large as on the PGA Tour. Yet that’s what happened to Quinn.

He tied for eighth at Qualifying School—a brutal six-day test for PGA Tour hopefuls—in 1991, good enough to obtain member status on Tour for the following season. But Quinn didn’t make nearly enough money to keep his card, failing to record any top-10 finishes.

At age 27, Quinn said, he wasn’t mentally prepared for his big break. His struggles didn’t faze him, though—he had already con-quered Q-school once, so who was to say he couldn’t do it again?

“When you lose your card back when you’re (that young), you think, ‘Oh, I’ll be back there next year,’” Quinn said.

But he wasn’t back the next year. Or the next year. Or the year after that. Quinn be-came a golfing nomad, playing a few select events on the PGA Tour before finding a home on the Nationwide Tour, which was known as the Nike Tour in the mid-1990s. In fact, the lower tour has had four different sponsors since Quinn started playing on it, with Ben Hogan and Buy.com serving as its other names.

Even when his prospects seemed least promising, Quinn and his family never stopped believing he was capable of compet-ing with the best golfers.

“There were times when I sat there and looked in the mirror and talked to my wife Lori and said, ‘Hey, do we want to keep mov-ing forward?’” Quinn said. “But neither one of us at any time lost faith that we would get back to the top.”

The closest Quinn came to returning was in 1999. He won a tournament and finished 18th on the Nike Tour money list that year, except only the top-15 earners advanced to the PGA Tour. Then at Q-School, he was comfortably inside the cut line on the last day until two double bogeys on his final nine holes left him one stroke short.

Quinn was scheduled to play in two promi-nent Asian Tour events to cap off the season, but the heartbreaks left him emotionally drained.

“I said, ‘Nah, I think I’ve had enough for this season, I’m going to rest and get ready for next year,’” Quinn said. “And when I came back, my wife was coming in from shopping, getting ready for Christmas and the holiday season. She had a bunch of bags, and I looked at her and said, ‘You know, maybe I should go overseas for a few weeks.’”

It was a blessing in disguise. Quinn became only the second player to win in back-to-back weeks on the Asian Tour and carried that mo-

mentum into the next year, winning the first tournament on the newly named Buy.com Tour.

Little did Quinn know, he wouldn’t win again for nine years.

rEdEmptionThe most frustrating part of Quinn’s slump

was he could tell his game was improving.“It’s unfortunate sometimes in the game we

play that you set a bar and goals, and some-times your play isn’t indicative of how well you’re actually playing,” Quinn said.

The problem certainly wasn’t a lack of chances; Quinn just couldn’t close the deal. His best chance to win before the Boise Open was at the previous year’s Rex Hospital Open, in which he was tied for the lead after three rounds. He shot a 6-over 77 on the last day to finish T-12.

Back at NU, Goodwin could tell Quinn was hard on himself when he didn’t play his best. Quinn admitted that issue contributed to his Sunday struggles.

“You wouldn’t notice it externally, but in-ternally I’m a bit of a perfectionist,” Quinn said. “I wanted it too bad—I wanted to get back to the PGA Tour. I wanted to get back to where I felt I belonged. When I got myself in those positions, I really tried way too hard instead of having some fun.”

He consciously changed his mindset in 2009, and it worked. All he had to do after winning in Boise was hang onto his top-25 position for six weeks.

Going into the season-ending Nationwide Tour Championship, Quinn still had a cush-ion—though his fate hadn’t been finalized. With his brother Kevin, his parents and a few friends in attendance, he was in conten-tion through two-and-a-half rounds, hover-ing around the top-10. Then Quinn started to feel sick and stumbled on his back nine. He was hospitalized Saturday night, and doctors hooked him up to an IV.

There couldn’t have been a worse time for Quinn to fall ill. But he was so sick that he didn’t even think of the situation in those terms.

“I just knew that I had to somehow finish the golf tournament,” Quinn said. “Before I came down with prostatitis, I was in the top-5 in the field. And then I got incredibly sick. I was fortu-

nate to finish, and I needed to.”Quinn shot a 74 in his final round and had

to wait for the later groups to finish before finding out if he got his Tour card. He went back to his hotel to shower and was called back to the course when he was projected to finish 24th on the money list. By the time he got back, he had fallen to 26th.

“There were definitely a lot of nerves, but I think my family was a lot more nervous than I was,” Quinn said. “I was definitely nervous, but I wasn’t feeling up to par.”

Appropriately enough, it all came down to one shot. Brian Stuard had an eight-footer for par on the final hole that would have ce-mented him in the No. 25 spot. When he missed, Quinn was officially a PGA Tour member for the second time.

Less than $3,000 separated Quinn from Stu-ard on the final money list. Had Quinn not been able to finish the tournament, he would have come up short again. Instead his per-severance got him back to the top after an 18-year absence.

“I can say without any hesitation that of any player I ever had, Frannie Quinn has shown me more tenacity in terms of trying to make the pro tour,” Goodwin said. “If there was any kid who would hang in there and hang in there and hang in there, it was Frannie.”

Quinn tees it up at Torrey Pines in San Diego, Calif., on Thursday for the opening round of the Farmers Insurance Open, his first tournament of 2010. The deck is stacked against him, as only 15 of the last 50 Nationwide Tour graduates made enough money to retain their PGA Tour card.

But Quinn is used to overcoming long odds. He wouldn’t have it any other way.

By Danny DalyThe Daily Northwesterndailynorthwestern.com/womens-basketball

The Wildcats have been prone to streakiness this season—and once they lose their momentum, they’ve had a hard time getting it back. Iowa capi-talized on that in the second half Sun-day, riding a prolonged run to a 78-69 home victory over Northwestern.

“We need to start recognizing when the runs are happening and talk to each other, try to really rattle them with our defense,” junior center

Amy Jae-schke said.

Jae-schke’s best offensive perfor-mance of the season was wasted in the loss. She made 11-of-15 shots from the field and 8-of-10 free throws, tal-

lying a season-high 30 points. But no one else for NU (12-8, 3-6 Big Ten) joined her in double figures.

The 6-foot-5 Jaeschke faced off against Morgan Johnson, who matched Jaeschke’s height but not her experience. The freshman fouled out and played only 24 minutes. When Johnson wasn’t on the floor, Jaeschke had a significant size advantage.

“I was just posting deep on my de-fender,” Jaeschke said. “I had a girl who was a freshman, and her backup was six feet tall. (The coaches) talked to me before the game about posting well and taking it to the people who were going to be guarding me.”

Both teams were clicking offen-sively in the early going, shooting bet-ter than 60 percent until midway through the first half. The Hawkeyes (10-10, 3-6) took their largest lead with 10:03 left, going ahead 26-21 after

Johnson’s fastbreak layup.But whereas Iowa scored 10 points

the rest of the half, NU sustained its hot shooting. The Cats shot 60 percent before the break and made their first four tries from 3-point range to take a 38-36 edge into the locker room.

That lead grew at the beginning of the second half. NU kept trying to give Jaeschke open looks down low, and it was working. After five-and-a-half minutes, the Cats held a nine-point advantage.

“We wanted to get her the ball in reversal because she’s always one-on-one,” said junior point guard Beth Marshall, who finished second on the team with nine points. “And when Amy’s one-on-one, no one can stop

her … We were working inside-out by letting Amy score. Whenever she scores, it opens up the outside, and we knocked down a couple shots.”

Just when NU seemed to be in control, Iowa started its 19-2 run. The Cats stopped hitting shots, and it ap-peared to affect their play defensively.

“Our defense definitely has to step up—just because our shots aren’t fall-ing doesn’t mean we can’t play de-fense, too,” Marshall said. “We always say, ‘Don’t let your offense be your de-fense.’ So if our offense is a little off for a couple minutes, we can’t let that carry over to the defensive end.”

But they did, and it cost them. By the time the stretch was over, the Hawkeyes led 64-56 and never looked

back, even extending their edge to double digits. NU cut the deficit to six with about three minutes remaining, but it never got closer than that.

Iowa’s free throw shooting fueled its comeback, helping it overcome NU’s advantage inside. The Hawkeyes scored 14 of their 19 points during the second-half run at the free throw line, sinking 31-of-37 foul shots for the game. Meanwhile, the Cats attempted 14 free throws—less than 40 percent of the Hawkeyes’ total.

“A lot of times we were out of posi-tion defensively, so when we had to help, we were reaching or fouling,” Marshall said.

NU saw two trends continue in Iowa City, Iowa—one good and one

bad. Junior guard Meshia Reed played well again off the bench, contributing eight points after scoring 12 in a loss at Indiana earlier in the week.

But the Cats struggled with turnovers again, committing 19 against the Hawkeyes and 18 against the Hoosiers.

“Unforced turnovers, mental breakdowns, mistakes—I don’t think Iowa’s defense had much to do with it,” coach Joe McKeown said. “It was more self-inflicted wounds.”

With a home date looming against Michigan State, who advanced to the Sweet 16 last year, NU can’t afford to keep shooting itself in the foot.

At the beginning of the season, the Wildcats’ bench was supposed to be an asset. Even after injuries to seniors Kevin Coble and Jeff Ryan depleted Northwestern’s depth, coach Bill Car-mody expected to have options.

While the reserves were effective in the nonconference season, Big Ten

play has been a dif-ferent story. In NU’s last five games, the subs have com-bined to score 20 points. The Cats travel to Minne-sota looking to break that trend

Tuesday against the Gophers , who have started nine different players this year.

Part of the reason for the low pro-duction has been the starters’ suc-cess with a heavy workload.

“Our starters are playing really well—it’s tough to take them out when they’re flowing,” freshman guard Alex Marcotullio said. “It’s

tough to minimize their minutes, so it’s tough for us to get in the rhythm of the game. We have to contribute as much as we can when we get in there.”

Guard Michael Thompson, for-ward John Shurna and guard Jeremy Nash rank first, fifth and ninth in the conference, respectively, in minutes per game. No other Big Ten team features three players who spend that much time on the floor.

After making several shots as NU’s sixth man in November and December, Marcotullio has been struggling against conference foes. He scored only 32 points in the first seven Big Ten games, with half of that total coming in a blowout loss to Michigan State. With Marcotullio shooting 1-of-14 from the floor since the start of Winter Quarter, the Cats are lacking a sparkplug like Nash was last year.

“I told (Marcotullio) about three weeks ago, ‘You’re not just a 3-point shooter—you’ve got to do some other things,’” Carmody said. “And he hasn’t played well since. So I’m going to tell him, ‘Just be a 3-point shooter. That’s good enough.’”

Sophomore center Kyle Rowley has been the Cats’ lone bright spot off the bench. Rowley fought through a foot injury he suffered during the summer, returning to full practice in mid-October.

Now the 7-footer is healthy and making the most of his reserve role.

“I’m just putting in the time to get my rhythm back and get everything going,” Rowley said. “I feel great—my weight is down. … It definitely helps because I get more time to see what the opposing players do.”

The benefits of Rowley’s hard work have been evident, even if they don’t always show up in the box score. Rowley was on the court more than 30 minutes before the start of Monday’s practice to work with for-ward Davide Curletti and assistant coach Ivan Vujic on everything from put-backs and jump hooks to free throws and rebounds.

Rowley’s conditioning allows him to impact the game with hustle plays.

“He’s getting up and down the court,” Carmody said. “In the Pur-due game, someone missed a layup, and he got the rebound, put it back, got fouled and made both foul shots. Just different little things like that make all the difference because we play in so many close games.”

Against Minnesota and its pair of sophomore centers, Ralph Sampson III and Colton Iverson , NU will need Rowley to sustain his level of play.

“We’ve got those two big guys up there, and he must be a factor,” Car-mody said.
