Annual New eatery aims to raise standards address falls flat By Elise Harmon News Editor
In an event that drew student and adjunct faculty protest, the 2015 State of the University, while full of praise for Northeastern University (NU), expertly-shot videos and fundraising goals, was empty of constructive discussion about what the school can do to improve. President Joseph E. Aounâs annual speech about the status of NU filled folding chairs and bleachers in the Cabot Centerâs Solomon Court on Wednesday with hundreds of attendees. As people waited in line to enter the building, they were greeted by about 20 protesters carrying signs that read âNo Fossil Fuel Investments,â âExxon Mobil Has a Seat on NUâs Board of Trusteesâ and âWhat is the State of the University?â âStudents representing different political interests are coming together to highlight things that Northeastern does that they find oppressive,â Alix Alto, a junior psychology and international affairs major who protested, said. Students from DivestNU, the Husky Environment Action Team (HEAT), Socialist Alternative and Strong Women Strong Girls were among those protesting. Most held signs decrying the universityâs investment in fossil fuels. âExactly one year ago [at the Aoun, Page 2

In addition to whole-wheat pizza and soups made with vegetables from local gardens, newly opened
Dudley Dough is serving up social justice in Roxbury for customers and employees alike. The restaurant, owned and operated by community nonprofit Haley House, aims to address two prob-
lems simultaneously: the lack of well-paid jobs in food service and the difficulty some people, including former inmates, face in finding work. âWeâre all about economic jus-
tice and individuals being involved in the community, serving the community and seeing what the community needs â not just in nourishment for your stomach but for your Dough, Page 6

Coyne reaches 100th goal Neumeier creates 6-section ballet By James Duffy News Correspondent
When Northeastern University (NU) senior forward Kendall Coyne fired a power play goal past Mercyhurst University freshman goalie Kerri St. Denis on Oct. 17, she made history. That goal was the 100th of her career, putting her on hallowed ice. Coyne became just the second Husky to ever reach this mark, following in the footsteps of former NU Hall of Famer Hilary Witt, and the 17th woman in college hockey to reach the milestone since 2000. Coyne has firmly placed herself in elite company in womenâs college hockey history. She scored a second goal against Mercyhurst, followed by a pair of goals against Providence College to bring her total to 103 goals. She now sits just 10 goals shy of Wittâs school record that was set in 2000. Coyne acknowledged it was a huge milestone but was humble about the accomplishment. âI could not have done it without my teammates and my coaches,â she said. Head Coach Dave Flint had nothing but praise for Coyne and her importance to the team. âSheâs a tremendous leader and Hockey, Page 11
