Student looks to add politics to her extracurriculars As the race for the Cook County’s next 13th District Commissioner heats up, DePaul sophomore Bushra Amiwala has been quietly adding fuel to the fire of her campaign.

Amiwala, 19, has been steadily acquiring volunteers and supporters since the announcement of her candidacy in March. With more than 1,500 likes on her Facebook page and 20 volunteers who have thrown their support behind her, she still hasn’t even officially begun her campaign.

On Sept. 5, Amiwala’s campaign began collecting the signatures necessary to secure a spot on the ballot come election time. Only 500 signatures are required, but the campaign is planning to collect 1,500 in the anticipation that her opponent, incumbent Larry Suffredin will contest every one of their signatures in a move to keep her name off the ballot.

Running for office is just the latest endeavor

STORY BY BENJAMIN CONBOY News Editor Amiwala has taken on. In addition to being a fulltime student at DePaul, she is a debate judge and coach for three 13th District high schools, the Vice President of DePaul DECA and an after-school teacher at several Chicago Public Schools.

The 13th District Commissioner represents about 300,000 residents of Rogers Park, Evanston and Skokie, among other northern communities.

Though DePaul’s campus sits in Cook County’s 10th district, she hopes her school will play an integral role in her campaign, saying “everything I say and do will affect DePaul’s students” if elected.

In spite of her campaign doing well, she’s still coming to grips with the nastier sides of running a

campaign. As a Muslim who is running for elected office, her religion has made her the target of bigoted speech and aggressive stereotypes.

“I have gotten a handful of messages that are like, ‘Are you going to implement Sharia law?’ I was actually expecting a lot more of those kinds of messages going into the campaign, so that’s good,” she laughed. “But I’ve also got the other side of that with people saying ‘Hey, you’re a Muslim woman you should cover your arms, you have too much skin showing.’ I really didn’t expect people from my own community to come out and say ‘you’re not the perfect token Muslim because your hair is showing.’”

The key to any successful political campaign is having the money to get the candidate’s name out

DePaul’s new plan to serve diverse student populations

By Dirce Toca Asst. News Editor

The Center for Identity, Inclusion and Social Change, closed on Aug. 15, but DePaul has a new approach to continue supporting its diverse student populations. The Center’s focus was on intersectional social justice programming and education, providing resources for marginalized students for about 20 years since January 1996, according to The Center’s website. The services The Center once provided have been moved to the Office of Multicultural Student Success (OMSS).

Over the summer, a more general

space to accommodate DePaul’s mix of students was designed. According to Gene Zdziarski, vice president for Student Affairs, the space in the O’Connell building at DePaul’s Lincoln Park campus has become the new home for OMSS. Three identity-specific centers have been established, dedicated to serving AfricanAmerican, Latinx and LGBTQ students, along with the addition of a specific point of contact for undocumented students.

“Each self-contained center will function as a hub for an identity specific charge to connect students with institutional resources, create a community space, and provide educational programs,” wrote Rev. Dennis H. Holtschneider.

The centers were in response to feedback and requests from students. It began when the Black Student Association requested that DePaul establish a center for its African-American students to provide an opportunity to share a common culture space. The changes for the Center for Identity, Inclusion and Social Change to be turned into three individual centers is the university’s approach to accomplish a better way to assist DePaul students within limited resources. If interest for a center for other defined student groups is demonstrated, additional centers can be created.

Each center will be staffed with fulltime staff, whether professional, graduate

assistants and/or student workers. Staff who worked for the Center for Identity, Inclusion and Social Change will receive priority for any open positions. “A professional staff member will coordinate programming to address the intersectional nature of identities through collaboration across the centers, as well as work with Men of Color (MOC), Women Empowered (WE) and Providing Access through Holistic Support (PATHS) programs,” wrote Rev. Holtschneider.

Along with full staffing for the three centers, Student Affairs has assigned the Associate Director of Multicultural Student Success as the point-of-contact for undocumented students.

New resources for students interested in starting a business

By Amber Colón Editor-in-Chief

Students can now enjoy “unprecedented access” to 2112, a music, film, technology incubator and coworking space located in Chicago’s northwest side. 2112 allows DePaul students interested in starting their own businesses access to equipment, industry experts and networking opportunities.

The membership, which is facilitated

by Bruce Leech, the executive director of the Coleman Entrepreneurship Center in the Driehaus College of Business, said that students from the College of Law, College of Computing and Digital Media (CDM) and the School of Music will benefit from the 20,000-square-foot facility.

DePaul University made the announcement in August, just before classes for the autumn quarter started up again. The Coleman Entrepreneurship Center finalized its relationship with 2112 after about a year of talks, according to Leech. He said that the university has a yearly contract with 2112 which includes a work space that was specifically arranged for DePaul students.

Leech is also a professor who teaches MGT 270, a business plan development course, where students will inevitably work out of 2112 for various in-class projects and assignments. Many of the students enrolled in his courses are on track to pursue careers in theatre, music or CDM, which not many people tend to view through an entrepreneurial lens, Leech said.

“It is really hard to launch a business,” Leech said. “A lot of our students have great

ideas. We love that collectively, they all have different skill sets. Because of that diversity businesses will be more successful.”

Some of DePaul’s roommates over at 2112 in Portage Park include intellectual property and immigration lawyers, film production companies, marketing firms and technology developers.

“Providing DePaul University students with educational resources, physical workspace and real world industry experience perfectly aligns with 2112’s vision to help define the future of the creative industries,” said Scott Fetters, director of 2112. “It’s a privilege for 2112 to support DePaul’s long-standing commitment to its students.”

DePaul’s personal office space includes limitless options. Professors are encouraged to host their classes and meetings at 2112 to promote and provide opportunities for both students and alumni who are interested in creating and maintaining their own businesses, according to Leech. The space also features programming where students can learn about writing up business plans and understanding legal basics.

2112 is open to ideas and coworking from all areas of study across DePaul with hopes of being able to create some innovative and interesting business plans over the next year. Students may visit the space right away as a part of 2112’s first university partner.

Interested students can contact the Coleman Entrepreneurship Center to set up access with 2112.

“If we’re talking a year from now, I definitely think we’ll have some stories to share,” Leech said.

DePaul’s plan for a ‘living street’ on life support

By Jake Wirth Contributing Writer

BEN CONBOY | THE DEPAULIA

The intersection where the proposed Kenmore Green project would have gone.

Walking between campus buildings on Kenmore Avenue, a herd of students pays little attention to the line of cars waiting at a stand still to pass.

You can’t blame the students, considering there’s not much of a campus in Lincoln Park.

Buildings are nestled between busy streets and students often have to stop traffic while they make their way to class.

“I’ve had some close encounters out here,” said Grace Stenberg, a DePaul undergraduate student. “Cars speed through here, students pop out of buildings not paying attention; it’s just a dangerous setup.”

Other students weren’t as lucky as Stenberg. Sophomore Sarah Hamilton was walking to class across Kenmore Avenue last year when she was struck by a moving car.

“Out of nowhere, I’m on the ground.

Luckily, I was fine, but still, the crosswalk is very unsafe,” Hamilton said.

This safety issue is one that DePaul administrators tried addressing in their 2009 master plan with the introduction of the Kenmore Green project.

The original proposal would have permanently shut down the 2300 block of North Kenmore Avenue to foot traffic and created a new green space for students, something the University is desperately lacking.

Professor Jim Montgomery, the head of the DePaul Sustainability Network, says the project is all but dead.

“Right now, there have been no talks of constructing the Kenmore Green,” Montgomery said. “Our hope is that we

can work to find a solution that benefits our neighbors while creating a safe and living space for our students.”

The plan has been idling for nearly four years since local residents expressed their concerns. Alderman Scott Waguespack nixed the idea of closing Kenmore, citing the loss of 47 parking spaces for nearby neighbors and creating more traffic on Sheffield Avenue.

But there is still hope for the DePaul living street. The alderman for the 32nd Ward introduced a plan to create what he calls a “Dutch-inspired Woonerf.”

“Ultimately, there’s a plan that can work for everybody,” Waguespack said. “The plan I introduced to the university would create a woonerf or living street; it’s a winding road where students and cyclists have the right of way, but the street would still be accessible for local residents.”

Waguespack’s “woonerf ” has drawn neighbors’ criticism. Allan Mellis is director for The Wrightwood Neighbors Association and says the alderman’s plan fails to address their concerns about the lack of parking.

This isn’t the first time the university and Mellis have debated the issue. In 1992, DePaul decided on closing the 3200 block of Seminary Avenue to construct the quad.

In hopes of moving the plan for a living street forward, outgoing DePaul President Father Dennis Holtschneider said jokingly, “We have offered free 24-hour access to campus parking garages. We continue to hold forums with the community. I don’t see what’s stopping us.”

The university had planned a community referendum for this past summer, but Holtschneider said the plan can be decided by his successor, DePaul President A. Gabriel Esteban, since it’s DePaul’s property.

News. Sept. 11, 2017. The DePaulia | 5 AMIWALA continued from front there. She has been getting most of her publicity free from articles written about her campaign, and she knows well the value of saving a buck when every dollar matters.

“If you want to win public office, you definitely need money,” Amiwala said.

“Fundraising has been going a lot better than I thought it would be. The lucky part is I haven’t had to spend much money just yet.

Every penny I have received is being saved to send out a mailer about a month before the election.”

But being frugal comes with its own cost.

Amiwala had to pay for all the campaign’s stickers and buttons out of her own pocket. None of her volunteers, including her campaign manager and social media manager, receive payment for their work.

A lack of compensation doesn’t bother Amiwala’s dedicated team. Volunteer Brendan Power, 25, felt like working on her campaign was the perfect outlet for his frustrations with the government since the election of Donald Trump.

“I was upset with the way things shook up with the presidential election. I started researching who my county commissioner is and that’s when I learned about Bushra’s candidacy,” the Skokie resident said. “The more I learned about her, the more I realized she really aligns with my vision for what government should look like. We both share a frustration with the ‘business-as-usual’ way of running things at the county level.”

Even though the Cook County Clerk will not officially recognize the campaign until Amiwala acquires a minimum of 500 petition signatures, she isn’t shying away from any contentious issues early in the race. Amiwala is an outspoken critic of Cook County board president Toni Preckwinkle’s so-called “soda tax,” which taxes beverages at one pennyper-ounce. The soda tax is estimated to bring the county $200 million in much-needed revenue in 2018, according to the Chicago Tribune, but Amiwala says it only effects the county’s poorer residents, and the tax failed at its goal of creating revenue to avoid layoffs of county workers.

“The idea behind the soda tax was that it

Bushra Amiwala has a vast agenda she wants to implement if elected to the Cook County Board of Commissioners, including increasing government trasnparency, raising awareness for underused county programs and scrapping the controversial “soda tax.” was either create the tax, or fire 1,100 county employees to help balance the budget,” Amiwala said. “But those people were still let go when a judge put a temporary stop on the tax. In recent interviews, Preckwinkle herself hasn’t mentioned the fact that now that the soda tax is in, those people still aren’t getting their jobs back.”

She disagrees not only with how the tax has failed its purpose of retaining workers, but also its thinly veiled attempt at increasing revenue under the guise of being “for the children.” She finds it to be “manipulative.”

Amiwala doesn’t want to create any

new taxes or hike existing rates, but rather re-examine the way the county and state distribute and handle tax revenue and by taking “proactive steps to prevent the number of grant errors and funding errors that have cost the county millions of dollars.”

Among her other policy priorities would be to increase awareness of social programs the county has to offer, such as CountyCare, a Medicaid-managed health care plan that provides free health insurance to the residents of Cook County.

“About 47 percent of the county budget goes to CountyCare,” Amiwala said. “The

information and the resources are out there, but you don’t have anyone holding town halls to show people the programs the county has to offer.”

Above all, she wants her campaign to inspire other young people to get involved in politics and run for office too. As young people, however, she says the standards are set much higher than they are for older candidates.

“You have to demand respect. But you have to demand it respectfully.”

Amazon opening package pickup location in Lincoln Park

By Rachel Fernandez Managing Editor

This fall, Amazon will be opening a package pickup location a block from the Student Center on the corner of Sheffield and Webster, where Lincoln Park residents can pick up their online orders.

The pickup location will be part of the company’s new Amazon Campus branch that offers students a reduced price on Prime accounts and allows for universities “to generate revenue from purchases made by your students,” according to the Amazon website.

Once the establishment opens, it will also allow for free returns and same-day and oneday deliveries on certain orders for Prime members. Orders from nonPrime members can also be picked up from the location.

Several other Amazon Lockers and on-campus pickup locations have emerged nationwide, including one on the campus of the University of Illinois at Chicago, making the DePaul location the second in the city.

Currently, all students living on campus have their mail shipped to a mailbox associated with their dorm and room number in the LPC Mail Center on the third floor of the Student Center. When a student receives a larger package, they get a yellow barcoded slip in their mailbox that they must take to a separate window where they must provide a signature in order to retrieve their package according to the DePaul website.

Freshman Dan Wright is starting his first year at DePaul living in Seton Hall. He regularly uses his Amazon account to buy music supplies for his bass guitar, and he thinks the new pickup location will be a convenient addition to the Lincoln Park area mostly because he “won’t have to go through the hassle of the mailing center in the SAC,” Wright said.

Although he is not a Prime member, junior Reuben Diaz uses Amazon to purchase items including used books and guitar strings. He currently lives on campus and plans to use the Mail Center in the Student Center

The future home of the Amazon pickup location at the southwest corner of Webster Avenue and Sheffield Avenue. Previously occupied by a Great Clips, the shop will serve as a brick-and-mortar location for Amazon customers to pick up and return orders, as well as a delivery site for same-day shipments. this year, but he recognizes the benefits of the new Amazon pickup location.

“It seems like a great thing for the local community,” Diaz said. “There’ll be employment opportunities and more commerce in Lincoln Park.”

The addition of the package pickup locations in Chicago has brought about thousands

of warehouse jobs in the area, according to an article in the Chicago Tribune.

While the facility may be convenient for those who frequent Lincoln Park, the location may not be of much use for students living off campus. Senior Kayla Smith lives off campus and would average a 15 minute commute to the pickup location, so she prefers to have her

packages delivered directly to her apartment.

“The only people I could see using [the pickup location] are people who live in the dorms and don’t want to go to the Stu to get their package,” Smith said. “But at the same time, a pickup location would be the same deal for them, just picking up their packages in a different location.”

Student athletes get to work in service trip to Guatemala

By Amber ColÓn Editor-in-Chief

This summer, members of DePaul Athletics teamed up to complete a service trip in Parramos, Guatemala. Senior Joe Hanel led and organized the trip after being inspired to recreate an experience he had with an organization called Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH, Spanish for “Our Little Brothers and Sisters”) while he was in high school.

Having gone to Guatemala once before, Hanel wanted to share the lessons he learned there with other DePaul athletes. Students ranged in both academic year and sport — there were track and field athletes and basketball players.

Hanel said that DePaul Athletics picked up the tab for much of the trip, which helped to make it possible in the first place.

“I really wanted to give student athletes here an opportunity to not only travel abroad but get that service aspect,” Hanel said. “We’re really busy here between school and sport. It’s like a full time job.

Not a lot of us have time to get out and try other things and I thought this was a great opportunity.”

Hanel and eight other student athletes spent their week abroad in volunteer homes belonging to NPH. The organization takes in at-risk, orphaned youth ages three to 18 in Guatemala and eight other countries in Latin America, including Bolivia, Haiti and El Salvador. NPH’s website

says they are “raising more than 3,200 orphaned, abandoned, and disadvantaged boys and girls” along with offering day school services, scholarships and meals to children in the greater community.

At the NPH home in Guatemala, about 100 children are currently being served and they also have a special needs home that serves people living with disabilities.

With new leadership, a new

By Dirce Toca & Benjamin Conboy Asst. News Editor & News Editor

DePaul’s new Student Government Association (SGA) board members are ready to shake up the way things are done in the organization after a stressful campaign.

Michael Lynch will serve as president and Gracie Covarrubias as vice president.

As the official student representative organization of DePaul, SGA has a government structure where they are involved in various projects within the university, working closely with not only the students but the administration as well.

Covarrubias first joined SGA last year and served as Senator of Mission and Values.

Lynch first entered the DePaul political scene with a run for Senator for Intercultural Awareness in Spring 2016 and served throughout the 2016-2017 school year before his presidential run.

“I ran to empower, train, and develop students to develop measurable goals for the DePaul community,” Lynch said. “Morale has been very low for students and unfortunately engagement with SGA as well. Students didn’t believe we had their back and no one was on their side.”

Covarrubias shares Lynch’s belief that there is much more to be done for DePaul, saying she pursued the role to “advocate for my peers and amplify their voices.”

Their journey to the elected positions was not easy for them. Lynch pushed himself and his campaign staff to the limit of their capabilities so he could become the DePaul student body’s next president.

“As the campaign team will tell you, I’m a work horse, so if I’m not sleeping, no one is sleeping. All of the 18-hour days, visiting student organizations, talking to staff and

faculty, all while being a full-time student and working was difficult, but we pushed ourselves because it was worth it to learn so much about the students,” Lynch said.

Covarrubias echoed Lynch’s relief that the campaign is over. She is grateful to all DePaul students for their support and promised to not let the student body down under their leadership.

“The support we received was an incredible affirmation that we were in this for all the right reasons,” Covarrubias said.

“Everything we ran on was truly a testament to the needs of the DePaul community.”

Now that the campaign is over, the hard work has just begun. Last year, while they were both still senators, they worked with the Undocumented Vincentian Allies to shepherd through a $2 tuition increase to fund a scholarship for undocumented students. Lynch says the cause was “near and dear” to his heart, adding there was no question of their support for it because of its alignment with the Vincentian mission.

The referendum, they say, was the first of many steps the SGA will take to ensure inclusion for everyone.

“My number one priority will always be to listen to the concerns of my peers and take steps toward ensuring everyone in this community feels as though they are being heard and know that they have a place here – inclusion is non-negotiable for me,” Covarrubias said.

Similarly, Lynch wants to embrace the university’s multifarious student body by “building a community of students and student organizations that better reflects DePaul’s diversity.”

Among their other priorities as the premiere duo of the SGA is to completely revamp the way the organization interacts with its constituents.

President Michael Lynch and Vice President Gracie Covarubbias claimed their titles after their only opponents, Andrew Willet and Michael Greene dropped out of the race.

“One of the biggest complaints we’ve heard in the past year is that SGA just isn’t visible or accessible enough to students,” Covarrubias said. “I’m excited to change up the way that SGA functions and connects with students. SGA is a great tool for serving the community, however, it’s no secret students haven’t always felt connected to us and that needs to change.”

Lynch and Covarrubias are tired of the status quo way of doing things at SGA. While they’re thankful for all of the past leadership’s

“SGA has been working from the same agenda for the last several years,” Lynch said.

“But now we’re transitioning into a new era so that means we need to reevaluate where we are and what our focus should be.”

This fall, the pair will enter a “strategic planning phase” where they will work with the SGA General Body to collaboratively determine the next operational imperative of DePaul’s student representation.

DePaul influences former student, Harvey victim Law School org. raises money for former president in Houston

A home in Houston, Texas is submerged in severe flooding after Tropical Storm Harvey devastated south-central Texas beginning Aug. 25 when it first made landfall.

By Evelyn Baker Nation & World Editor

Spurred by Facebook posts from its previous president as Tropical Storm Harvey approached her Humble, Texas home, leaders of the DePaul Law School organization OUTLaws created a GoFundMe page to provide Jessica Rodriguez some financial relief.

The GoFundMe page as of Sept. 8, has received 26 donations in 10 days, that totalled $1,360 -just short of the $1,500 goal.

Law student Liz Rocha is on the board of DePaul OUTLaws, the LGBTQA group in DePaul’s College of Law. She met Rodriguez the previous year as a representative for her fellow first-year law students when Rodriguez was president of the organization.

Rocha said another law student on the board, treasurer Andy VandenBerg, came up with the initial idea to help Rodriguez who, due to her father’s poor health, had moved home to Texas to complete her law degree as a visiting student at South Texas College of Law in Houston, Texas.

“Andy saw that Jessica was one of the people affected by (Tropical Storm Harvey) and he reached out to the board… to ask what we could do to help or if anybody knew Jessica,” Rocha said. “Jessica

is going to need everything. She and her family are going to need everything. Everybody’s going to need to start over completely.”

Afterwards, the board discussed and ruled out various means of helping Rodriguez. They considered collecting clothing and shoe donations, but it didn’t make the cut.

“If we got clothes we’d have to ship it and where would we ship it?” Rocha said. “Us being in Chicago, we realized the thing we could probably best do for her was to give her money.”

“During this disaster Jessica has lost her home and all personal belongings,” the fundraiser description states. “Although we can’t help her replace all her things, please help make buying new law school books, school

“Legal books one semester are at least $500,” Rocha said. “We thought if we could at least get her money for that, that would be helpful.”

The page went up on Monday, Aug. 28 and began

“As soon as we got on the boat and saw our house disappear in the distance, even my dad started to cry."

receiving donations promptly with VandenBerg being the first to donate, unbeknownst to Rodriguez.

their shared organization. “I didn’t even know about the fundraiser until a mutual friend texted me…

I cried. I mean to have friends that care so much like that, not just them for starting it, but people who pitched in their hard earned money. It was a flooring emotion.

Classmates, my assistant dean, and even strangers donated.”

It was an emotional week for Rodriguez and her family when the Category 4 hurricane barrelled into south Texas from the Gulf of Mexico on Aug. 25.

Heavy winds and rain increased despite Harvey being downgraded to a tropical storm. As the rain continued beating down onto the concrete jungle of Houston and its surrounding suburbs, water flooded the streets accumulating to nearly 52 inches of rain.

On Saturday, Aug. 26, the water began pouring in from the creek near Rodriguez’s house, which sits four feet above street level -- a safe distance from the flooding, Rodriguez thought.

On Sunday, the water reached the house, and by evening had forced its way inside. Pools emerged from the driveway, to the garage, to the living room and finally up the stairwell.

“In our house (the water) was up to our waist,” Rodriguez said.

“There was no electricity, no A/C. Tornado warnings. All the bad things that could happen were happening.”

Harvey began Aug. 17 as a slow-moving tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico.

It was upgraded to a category 4 hurricane Aug. 25 when it made landfall in southcentral Texas.

Downgraded to a tropical storm by Aug. 27, Harvey's heavy winds and rainfall continued to batter Houston and much of southeastern Texas.

Harvey made landfall again Aug. 30 over Port Arthur, Texas and western Louisiana, bringing widespread catastrophic flooding.

Harvey became a tropical depression late Aug. 30, but continued to pour massive amounts of rain on parts of eastern Texas, Louisiana and southern Arkansas.

As of Sept. 6, authorities attribute at least 70 deaths to Harvey.

In the house were Jessica, her wife, mother, father, brother and her brother’s friend. Not to mention their four dogs. When the impossible became inevitable, she and her family gathered the necessities: changes of clothes, wallets, phones. Her mother made sure to grab the bag where she

carried a lap dog in backpacks that hung on their chests. Her brother and his friend carried the two bigger dogs.

“Walking in the water so high up and seeing how frozen in fear our puppies were was terrifying,” Rodriguez said. “As soon as we got on the boat and saw our house disappear in the distance, even my dad started to cry.”

In the midst of the destruction, chaos and tears, Rodriguez maintained a positive and forward-looking attitude.

“There’s no point in getting negative about it,” she said.

“What’s done is done, and well, we are immigrants. We moved here after we lost everything in Mexico and we are used to starting from little or nothing.”

In tragedy, Rodriguez found help and community as abundant as the wreckage.

“The silver lining has been the wonderful help that everyone has given us. A friend’s family called to help… gave us shelter and a car,” Rodriguez said.

In addition to her previous DePaul OUTLaws cohorts extending help, Rodriguez also received a call from a former professor during her time at DePaul, associate professor of law Wendy Epstein.

“She emailed me right away and told me she was thinking of me and hoped I was okay,” Rodriguez said. “She didn’t even know what had happened yet,

but that shows you how much professors care about their students.”

“As I saw the coverage of the storm she was definitely on my mind,” Epstein said. She had had Rodriguez in two classes during Rodriguez’s two years at DePaul’s law school and knew she was completing her degree back home in Houston. “(Professors) obviously teach students substantive material, but it’s not just that. We care a lot about their lives, their wellbeing, physical and mental and professional,” Epstein said on her relationship with her students.

An email checking in and an online fundraiser, albeit small

gestures from 1,000 miles away, significantly impacted Rodriguez during the harrowing experience and delivered nostalgia for her home at DePaul.

“I’ve been blessed to be a Blue Demon,” Rodriguez said.

The 26-year-old will return to Chicago to receive her Juris Doctor degree and walk across the stage at DePaul’s graduation upon completing her final year at South Texas.

DePaul dignity rally fails to produce calls to action

By Danielle Ortiz Contributing Writer

“DePaul: Dignity for All” was the catchphrase of the rally. The event featured different community figures reading scripted promises of intolerance for hate, protecting human dignity, along with a list of different identities.

It was quick, around 20 minutes long, and the rally raised a lot more questions than it answered. What does it mean to respect human dignity? How do we hold these people accountable for keeping these grandiose promises? Why was the only clear call to action about posting on social media with a hashtag?

Let’s consider the context to the rally. When initial news of the rally broke, it was positioned as a response to Charlottesville. In the middle of last August, there were people in the streets with tiki torches, shouting “white lives matter”. The following day, amidst arguments between protesters and counter-protesters, a man drove into the crowd with his car, killing one woman and injuring 19 others.

In addition to the whitenationalist fervor spread throughout Charlottesville and the ensuing tragedy, President Donald Trump recently announced intentions to repeal The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, DACA. The landmark, Obama-era decision allows individuals who entered the United States as children, and meet a set of requirements, to defer deportation for a two-year period, which can be renewed for additional years and receive approval for employment. Qualifications for the program require individuals to have immigrated to the United States before the age of 16, to have continuously resided in the United States since 2007, and to be under the age of 31 at the time of application. With the freeze and intended removal of DACA, many people, including some DePaul students, face the threat of deportation.

With such policies and decisions that target already marginalized groups in a society filled with increasingly divisive rhetoric, we must ask ourselves that much loved Vincentian question, “What must be

#Dignity

done?” The problem with the local rally is that it didn’t answer this question. They spoke about the power of words and how they can be a vehicle for change. Those statements had merit as a segue into a conversation about accountability, because words and promises only have power if they cause action.

But the rally didn’t quite get there. Without specificity, public promises often lead to the sort of kind-hearted complacency that only good intentions bring. Without specificity, there can be no accountability. The call for acceptance in our community falls short of a movement because there are no goals or expectations.

What must be done is not to promise to do better-it’s to do better.

Doing better looks like offering resources to the people affected by the possible repeal of DACA. It looks like dropping the phrase “illegal aliens” because people, and they are people, cannot be

illegal. It’s offering to explain systematic racism in class. It’s explaining to your “All Lives Matter” shouting friend the context of the Black Lives Matter movement.

You don’t have to call people out in the middle of class. Call in, get a cup of coffee with someone and explain why you have issues with what they’re saying. Don’t be complacent. Don’t post #dignityforall and then forget to vote. Don’t avoid criticizing something you don’t agree with because of freedom of speech. Freedom of speech protects disagreement. Use your privileges for good. Read up on injustice. Ask yourself the big questions. What must be done?

About what?

Father Dan Borlik, Priest Chaplain for Catholic Campus Ministry, was a speaker at the rally. According to Borlik, the rally was initially expected to draw a small crowd, but through word of mouth drew hundreds of attendees, including the new DePaul President, A.

the tradition of the sanctuary movement, which goes back to the '80s. Standing in the spirit of this movement would necessitate that DePaul house undocumented people fearing deportation in the university church and adjacent Vincentian living spaces.

It's nice that the administration wants to provide a welcoming environment for undocumented students, but this should also include doing everything possible to prevent ICE from coming onto DePaul's campuses.

With the new president, A. Gabriel Esteban, the administration has a chance to turn over a new leaf. We should make DePaul a real sanctuary campus, thus putting actions behind the administration's nice words. With Trump's announcement that he would repeal DACA, the new university president sent out an email professing the administration's continued support for undocumented students - we think rhetorical support and encouraging

legislative action needs to be accompanied by concrete action in the here and now.

The repeal of DACA affects members of ourorganization, and many DePaul students. We applaud the initiative Undocumented Vincentians and Allies (UVA) took at the end of last spring - winning a scholarship fund for undocumented students via an increase to the student activities fee - and will stand with future initiatives by student organizations for expansion of the rights of immigrants and for the protection of undocumented people.

But ultimately, all of us should be in this fight. Whatever our immigration status, we have a shared interest in fighting for a greater expansion of the rights of all students on campus. In all honesty, undocumented students deserve a lot more. As some of the most vulnerable members of the university community, undocumented students should have a

Gabriel Esteban, showing the support for DePaul’s founding values of inclusion and support for dreamers is alive and well among the DePaul community.

Everyone at the rally who stood in front of the crowd and promised action deserves the upmost respect. But it was disappointing. There was no description about what future action should look like and there was no talk about why this rally took place. Key political issues such as some of the things the President Trump has said, a race riot where someone died, or a policy that lets so many pursue education, or a job, were not directly mentioned. The rally did not deliver calls to action, or address what must be done or why. There were just promises that something would be done. But mostly it’s disappointing because the closing remarks were about social media selfies and a hashtag. It ended up feeling like a publicity event or a call to Facebook activism. While it’s great to promise to do good, it’s better to go out and do good.

We live in an increasingly volatile world. Threats of Nazism and increasing oppression of marginalized groups sit at the table. Last year at DePaul, the threat of violence was present at a rally like this one. Perhaps that’s why the content seemed watered down and less controversial, but that’s no reason to stop trying.

Father Borlik said, “The on-campus events of previous years, such as the speech by Milo Yiannopoulos, leaves DePaul searching for ways to be assertive, and more responsible and strong about the University’s founding values.”

DePaul must plan more rallies.

Offer opportunities to people who get less than their fair share. Take your disappointments and turn them into words, into action, into change. Be ready for opposition. In the words of Maurice Saatchi, co-founder of the advertising agency Saatchi and Saatchi , “If you stand for something you will have people for you and people against you. But if you stand for nothing you will have nobody for you and nobody against you.”

Don’t just be intolerant of hate, stand up to it, stand together and spread love.

Defend DACA, make DePaul a sanctuary campus

By DePaul Socialists

The DePaul Socialists condemn the rescindment of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals).

This racist attack puts some 800,000 people at risk for deportation and violence, and continues President Trump's assault on immigrant communities in the US.

DePaul has, in the past, spoken of doing all it can to make sure undocumented students feel welcome. DePaul's previous president, Rev. Dennis H. Holtschneider, C.M., was rightfully criticized in the pages of The DePaulia for saying that DePaul "remains unwavering in our support for undocumented students" without taking concrete actions to stand up to Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) agents or provide real sanctuary to vulnerable students.

We believe that a true commitment to undocumented students would stand in

right to health care, affordable housing and free tuition. All students deserve these things, but especially the most marginalized, precarious members of our community.

We have to defend against this attack, while putting forward a vision of a real inclusive campus, one that can actually put its Vincentian Values into practice. We are skeptical that the university administration will act on its own initiative to ban ICE from campus, house people fearing deportation, or put more of its immense financial resources towards improving the living standards of its most vulnerable students. However, we are conscious of the power students and campus movements have to change university policy and politics, and recognize the potential to pressure DePaul to fully adhere to its supposed Vincentian Values.

2,052 miles to San Juan

Chicago’s historical proximity to Puerto Rico requires us to start paying attention

2,052 miles to San Juan VICTORIA WILLIAMSON | THE DEPAULIA

By Amber Colón Editor-in-Chief

When Hurricane Irma blazed through several Caribbean islands before finally hitting Florida this weekend, one of the many impoverished places that it grazed was Puerto Rico. As Chicago has one of the largest Puerto Rican communities in the United States, the long lasting effects of Irma on the Puerto Rican economy will reach far beyond the state of Florida.

A colony of the U.S., Puerto Rico often goes unnoticed in the media. In fact, while Irma was first forming in the Atlantic Ocean, most news reports completely ignored the fact that several U.S. territories including the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands could potentially be completely wiped off of the map — just like what happened in Barbuda.

Like the Puerto Ricans in Humboldt Park who are facing issues of gentrification and displacement, those living in Florida and on the island seem to be the last concern of the Trump Administration. Although Chicago shares a history that is tied quite intimately with Puerto Rico — Oscar López Rivera's second home is Humboldt Park — that does not excuse the city from being concerned with Puerto Ricans in Florida and on the island.

As Irma storms through Florida, Elaine Duke, acting secretary of Homeland Security said on Saturday that it will trigger, “one of the largest mass evacuations in American history” — over 6 million have already been asked to leave the peninsula. The Category 4 storm with winds up to 145 mph is expected to leave mass amounts of damage.

As a result, the Trump administration decided on Friday to temporarily waive the Jones Act, a law that was signed just over a century ago. The Jones Act of 1917 requires business owners on the island to purchase items from American-made ships with an all-American crew, which hurts more Puerto Ricans than it actually helps. Of course, this makes the price of goods escalate and limits businesses.

Waiving the Jones Act — which was also done

after Irma had done her damage in Puerto Rico — ensures there will be fuel to support lifesaving efforts, restore services and improve infrastructure (in Florida) in the wake of the storm, Duke said.

It seems pretty obvious: the last thing that Puerto Rico needed was a hurricane. San Juan, Puerto Rico’s capital, along with the towns of Loíza and Fajardo have faced significant damage as a result of the hurricane. On Sunday, Primera Hora reported that at least 79 families in the Mediania Alta neighborhood of Loíza are now homeless thanks to Irma’s damage.

“The U.S. really has never cared about the state or well-being of Puerto Rico and the people who live there. I think the lack of action in assisting Puerto Rico despite the fact that the people who live there are U.S. citizens just further sends a message that Puerto Ricans are seen as completely un-American,” sophomore Alejandro Hernandez said.

“That is, until cases like the Olympics or World Baseball Classics where Puerto Rico competed for or even won Gold medals. That would be the only time I'd see mostly white Americans recognize Puerto Rico as a part of the U.S. by either downplaying or outright claiming our success as a U.S. ‘victory.’ When it comes to just about everything else though, especially for problems that the U.S. is responsible for, it's our problem and ours only.”

The Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act (PROMESA), was signed into law by the former President Obama at the end of June 2016. Because Puerto Rico is not an official state, the island cannot file for bankruptcy, which leaves millions of Puerto Ricans to struggle against all odds. The bill, aimed at tackling the island’s $70 billion debt crisis, lowered the minimum wage for Puerto Ricans 24 and under to $4.25, compared to the federal minimum wage, which is $7.25.

The word “promesa” in Spanish means “promise,” alluding to the hope of getting Puerto Rico out of it’s debt crisis. That promise is one that many Puerto Ricans feel

the PROMESA bill will not be able to keep, especially under the Trump administration.

“I think that PROMESA, at it's best, is a simple band-aid solution that in no way is really going to solve all the deep rooted problems affecting Puerto Rico,” Hernandez said. “At it's worst, it's just another way for the colonizers of Puerto Rico to just flex their power since it's essentially an unelected board of people who aren't even Puerto Rican calling all the shots in regards to the debt crisis.”

That being said, it must be made clear that the Puerto Rican people are not poor, the government is.

Blaming the $70 billion dollar debt crisis on just over 3 million people is not only irresponsible, but it’s indicative of the attitude that Americans have had toward the island since day one. A gallon of milk on the island costs anywhere between five and seven dollars thanks to heavy taxation and product regulations.

“Puerto Rico's debt has only gotten worse since PROMESA was enacted,” Hernandez said. “More schools have gotten shut down, the unemployment rate is still around 11 percent, and it just seems like more and more public aid is being slashed with no avail."

It’s been over a decade since the recession in Puerto Rico began, and in the last 14 years more than one million Puerto Ricans have left the island and claimed Florida as their new home in an attempt to escape the economic crises. Pew Hispanic found that approximately 600,000 Puerto Ricans have relocated to Florida since 2000 — up from about 400,000 — to make a grand total of over one million. The question that is now up in the air is exactly how many Puerto Ricans will be displaced yet again, but this time by Irma.

Although Irma has passed, the damage is far from over. Now, over hundreds of thousands people in Puerto Rico are still without power and clean water, which means that as time goes on, NPR reported on Thursday, that several parts of the island will be without power for

Sign of th

Whether you’re beginning out freshman year or finishing your final quarter, the tree of wisdom has become all too familiar.

Every day, we see the little blue symbol mounted on buildings, stitched to backpacks and waiting in our inbox. Yet, its significance is still often overlooked. So, what does it mean?

Since its adoption in 1976, the tree of wisdom has become synonymous with DePaul University. “The name refers to our motto, in which DePaul hopes to offer our students more than knowledge, but real wisdom for living well throughout their lives ahead,” former DePaul President Rev. Dennis Holtschneider said.

Originally referred to as “The Tree of Knowledge,” the symbol earned its current moniker in 1995, when former DePaul President Rev. John T. Richardson, Rev. Paul L. Golden and Davis Sims constructed an official explanation for the symbol through a series of memorandums.

Their final statement, which is still promoted by DePaul, states, “The Tree of Wisdom expresses the university’s integration of education and religion by combining the forms of a tree and a cross.”

According to DePaul, the central symbol is a modified cruciform, suggestive of the university’s Catholic roots as well as the human form—with outstretched arms giving “spirit and life” to the environment. The upright, balanced figure conveys the strength of knowledge and values.

Viewing the symbol as a single unit, the tree stands firmly on the ground. It has “age and fullness” in its trunk and limbs, suggesting tradition; and “youth and simplicity” in the internal negative white space represents leaf forms and sapling growth.

Typographically, the symbol incorporates the lowercase letter forms d, p and u. The “u” extending upward from the trunk is a true arc. According to DePaul, “Its position relative to the figure represents support, rather than containment, just as the university supports the human spirit in the pursuit of knowledge and the deepening of religious values.”

“In the end, it simply means ‘DePaul,’” Holtschneider

According to DePaul, “the main section of the shield consists of a nine panes forming a heraldic cross, the symbol of the Christian faith.” In the center pane is a heart, the symbol of charity for St. Vincent de Paul whose lifetime of service to God and humanity made him the international symbol of charity.

The upper section contains three fleur-de-lis, symbolic of his homeland, France, and the Holy Trinity.

Two references are made to Chicago. A line, suggestive of the wall of Fort Dearborn, separates two sections of the seal, and the phoenix rising from flames is symbolic of the rebuilding of Chicago after the Great Fire in 1871.

In the ribbon is DePaul’s motto, “Viam Sapientiae Monstrabo Tibi,” (Proverbs 4:11), which translates to “The way of wisdom I will show you.”

Another DePaul mark with a curious origin is the Blue Demon—the university’s athletic logo.

In 1900, when the first athletic team to ever represent DePaul was organized, the monogram “D” was selected for the allboy school’s jerseys. For this originated the nickname “D-Men,” which eventually evolved to “Demons.” In 1922, the name became official. The color blue in the name and logo signifies loyalty and was chosen in 1901 by a vote of the student body.

While a Catholic university promoting a demon logo might seem like a terrible contradiction, the idea is purely phonetic, rather than satanic. “In fact, the original design of the “Blue Demon” is from the gargoyles on Notre Dame Cathedral of Paris,” Richardson said. In 1999, the current Blue Demon logo replaced the original design—known as “Billy Blue Demon”— which was created in 1979.

“Symbols are important,” Rev. Ed R. Udonvic, former senior executive for the University Mission, told The DePaulia in 1996. “No symbol can become a substitute for substance, but it can promote the university’s history and purpose.”

Some helpful advice we wish we’d have gotten as freshmen

By Matt Koske Arts & Life Editor

The first week on campus may seem like a walk in the park. Throughout your academic pursuits, there will definitely be times where the overload of schoolwork will come crashing down or your roommate burns popcorn or it’s still unknown what room number your night class is in by week five. It happens to everyone. The short quarters at DePaul take some time to get used to and before you know it, you’re studying for midterms and then when you turn in your midterm you get handed a study guide for the final. After four years of doing it, things become routine and it begins to feel like clockwork.

The good news, or bad depending on some students’ time at DePaul, is that there’s a definitive end to our time here. Whether that means continuing academic endeavors, relocating for a new job, remaining put in Chicago or even having absolutely no idea what the heck to do, things will be just fine. Spending four years here has supplied many students with the helpful tidbits for Chicago transportation, financial sustainability and the right social life for you. Here is some senior advice to hopefully aid you in your time at DePaul. Maybe a few of these can save you from being late to class or being stuck in a boring one.

Museum of Contemporary Art exhibit: Amanda Williams

By Rachel Fernandez Managing Editor

Chicago may be buzzing with excitement over the Museum of Contemporary Art’s (MCA) featured Takashi Murakami exhibit, but just a floor below is a captivating installation featuring the work from local Chicago artist Amanda Williams.

Williams is an artist with a degree in architecture from Cornell University, and much of her art reflects her experiences growing up on the South Side of Chicago. Her installation features sculptures, maps, photos and videos that demonstrate the intersections between architecture, race and urban communities and how those relationships influence the narratives behind cities. Maps and photos of the South Side line the walls and gold-covered bricks fill the room, calling attention to links between race, architecture and consumerism.

In Williams’ video presentation “Color(ed) Theory,” the artist documented Englewood community members painting houses appointed for demolition in colors that Williams associated with the African American community and products they consume. As outlined in a brochure provided by the MCA to accompany the exhibit, the pallet included colors like Ultrasheen blue, Harold’s Chicken Shack red, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos orange and

Through the project, Williams hopes to create a conversation around the everchanging landscape of the neighborhood facilitated by people who are actually in the community.

North Coast, Chance rock Union Park despite some rain

By Blake Schlin Contributing Writer

Autograf It’s a rarity when college kids and adults gather on a Friday night, unfazed by the work schedules and late night study binges that await them when they leave the Union Park.

EDM trio, Autograf, provides those rarities with their music. Hundreds of people gathered to see the Chicago-based EDM trio behind hits such as “Dream” and “Metaphysical.” No strangers to the booze infested and psychedelic fueled Electro house scene, these people were in for a show of a lifetime. Girls dressed as if it was Halloween in EDM heaven flooded the front row eager to hear Autograf. The tempo of the music was in sync with an equally exciting lightshow. Autograf is well known in the EDM scene and have ubiquitous recognition for their groundbreaking EP, “Slow Burn.” When it comes down to it, Autograf sets themselves apart from other EDM artists by incorporating live instruments such as drums and trumpets. This is a good shift from the average DJ that presses the play button on his iPhone to get the party going. Technological achievements drive the Electronic Dance Music scene allowing more people to get involved in making music right from their computers. No need to invest in those piano lessons anymore, just pick up an audio mixer and a sound editing program and you’re golden.

Damian Marley

JOSH LEFF | THE DEPAULIA

Raggae artist Damian Marley, son of Bob Marley, performs on Saturday. His Jamaicaninspired set drew big crowds.

If you’ve heard of reggae then you know Damian Marley. The reggae artist is the son of music legend Bob Marley and the symbol of modern day Rastafarian culture. Most likely, you’ve seen Bob Marley’s face plastered on a poster in your friend’s room somewhere or referenced in a campaign for progressive marijuana reform. Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley has been performing since age 13, following in his father’s footsteps. His career has been fruitful, having been nominated and ultimately winning a Grammy in 2002 for best reggae album. He has transitioned into other facets of music, such as hip-hop and having released an album with rap legend Nas called “Distant Relatives.” Marley didn’t stop there as he quickly collaborated with EDM icon Skrillex to release the popular song “Make it Bun Dem.” The crowd at the Skyline stage of North Coast failed to let the unrelenting rain stop them from seeing his performance. Many people could be seen wearing drug rugs and beanies, commonly worn by the reggae artist himself. If there was one artist at the festival that had the biggest cult following, it was Marley. His entire set had a Jamaican inspired theme that made you feel as if you were on the island itself. Next to Marley was a man flying a huge Jamaican flag and female back-up singers who assisted the artist with choruses. The performance gave off an aura that was contagious, something you shouldn’t miss next time he’s in town.

The Cool Kids with Chance the Rapper Perhaps one of the most notable and unique sets of North Coast was The Cool Kids. The American duo consists of Evan “Chuck Inglish” Ingersoll and Antoine “Sir Michael Rocks” Reed, both of which have strong ties to the Chicago hip-hop scene. The duo’s music goes back to 2007, right around when they came out with their debut album, “The Bake Sale,” which details the artists lives growing up in Michigan and Chicago. The Cool Kids reminds you of that grimy and gritty hip-hop that is reminiscent of the great Nas album “Illmatic,” rap that is filled to the brim with candid lyricism and funny quips. It’s hard to find rappers that have complete control over their rhyme schemes, something that was present when the duo came on with songs “What up Man” and “Mikey Rocks.” They can rap at blistering speeds and then immediately shift into vocal melodies while remaining articulate. Their reputations don’t lack merit, having had songs featured in bits of digital and pop culture such as the HBO show “Entourage” and video games “NBA Live 08” and “MLB 08.” You know you’re influential when Chance the Rapper makes a special appearance at your show and he did just that. While finishing off that last quarter of their performance, Chance slid on stage and gave the rap duo a shout out, saying The Cool Kids inspired him to make music and mentored him into his current role. Chance’s sound engineer was also introduced to him through the rap duo. Being a native of Chicago, it’s exhilarating seeing local heroes come out on stage together for one amazing performance.

An untapped market Three beer-loving women give an inside look at breweries run by Trappist monks

By Matt Koske Arts & Life Editor

In Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood, a well-known staple for globetrotters and local craft beer lovers is The Map Room.

The flagbearing fence outside features those of Cuba, Antigua and Barbuda, Trinidad and Tabago, Kiribati and Saint Kitts and Nevis whereas the inside comprises of pretzel sticks at the bar, “The Simpsons” on the TV and a profound selection of craft and Trappist beers.

Here, I got to converse over a delightful Trappist beer with the authors of Trappist Beer Travels, the first American book to provide complete coverage of abbey histories, beer profiles and extensive inside knowledge of all 11 Trappist breweries in the world.

The journey began as two beer-loving writers, Caroline Wallace and Sarah Wood, contributed to the all-women-run beer blog BitchBeer.org. As their extensive coverage of breweries, industry professionals, national beer events, and simple tasty beers began to grow exponentially, the trio took on their next big endeavor: Trappist beers.

Communities known as Trappists and Trappistines create handmade goods of high quality that service and sustain the needs of the monastery. Of course, one of these products is beer. Under the Rule of St. Benedict, these sheltered Roman Catholic monastics in distinct locations around Europe and the United states, brew some of the world’s most intricate beers.

Now what makes it a Trappist beer? There are a few signifiers that comprehensively make it so.

“Put simply, to qualify as an authentic Trappist beer, the beer must be brewed at a Trappist monastery either by the monks themselves or under their supervision,” Wallace said. “Any income from those beers goes back to directly support the

continuation of the monastery, and anything left over is to be donated to charity.”

There are 11 Trappist breweries in the world. The authors traveled to each one, conducted interviews with monks, toured the breweries, snagged photos, and gained extensive knowledge of the reputation that give these beers their exceptional quality and influence.

Their travels took them far and abroad to six breweries in Belgium, two in the Netherlands, one in Austria, another in Italy and even one in the United States for a Trappist brewery in Massachusetts. The complete Trappist brewery trip totaled over 1,000 miles all in search for some damn good beer.

Trappist beers are not a sole ‘style’ of beer. Trappist monasteries are producing tripels, dubbels, IPA’s and even Imperial Stouts. The growth of the monasteries and the beers that they’re producing is distinctly changing. It’s the evolution of the breweries and the consumers that initiated the trek for these authors. Cloistered Trappist monasteries have beers for sale all over the world and that reliable significance is a lot of the motivation behind the book.

“Like most of the best ideas we’ve ever come up with, we dreamed up the idea for this book over a few beers. Taking a trip to all of the world’s authentic Trappist monastery breweries was kind of the ultimate bucket list item,” Wallace said.

“We became convinced that it was the right time for a book such as this one because of the recent growth in the brewing landscape around the world and our desire to really go back to the beginning and tell the stories of these pioneer breweries.”

Wallace – along with her writing partner Wood – previously penned the

A Trappist monastery employee examines the bottling line at the Rochefort Brewery in Rochefort, Belgium. book Austin Beer: Capital City History on Tap that details the dynamic shift of craft beers in Austin from the end of the twentieth century to the beginning of the twenty-first. Upon completion, Trappist beers became the next area of interest and the duo welcomed Jessica Deahl to the team, a Chicago-based illustrator. Deahl’s expertise in art provided illustrations and pictures of the ins and outs of the Trappist monasteries and the mapping locations of their travels.

Although the three authors completed the task off their bucket list, there may be a call for visiting some up and coming monasteries. The 11 authentic Trappist monasteries remain alone in their pursuits, but surprisingly, four out of the 11 have acquired the authenticity in just the last five years.

“The road to starting a brewery is always a long one. From financing, to build out, to recipe development, it can take years. Add on to that the process of obtaining certification from the International Trappist Association to bear

the Authentic Trappist Product mark, which is contingent on quality, taste, and adherence to strict criteria, it’s an even longer process,” Wallace said.

A Trappist monastery in Spain, the Monasterio de San Pedro de Cardeña, currently sells their brews at an outside facility. Production is in the works to be moved inside the monastery, but the process of obtaining that certification and the Trappist Product mark is the only draw back. After a few years, Trappist monastery number 12 will be on the map.

“These monks obviously choose to live their lives in a very isolated, thoughtful, quiet way. Yet for many of them, their beers are known all around the world. That paradox was really interesting to us, and was something that had only seldom been explored in an in-depth way like this. The possibility of a Spanish Trappist brewery is an exciting one to us,” Wallace said.

Their book, Trappist Beer Travels, was recently released under Schiffer Publishing, Ltd., and is available for hardcover purchase on Amazon.

Cafés and couches

By Matt Koske Arts & Life Editor

Sometimes, staring at the blank walls of DePaul’s libraries gets exhausting, not to mention the dreadful lighting or the scratched up desks.

There are an assortment of off-campus study areas in Lincoln Park and in the Loop that give any library a run for its money. These places offer Wi-Fi, comfier pillows, closer laptop outlets, sunny outdoor seating and even healthy snack options to keep the brain churning.

“It”

In theaters now Beloved Stephen King and Pennywise return to the big screen for another go around of “It” after the 1990 miniseries. Both projects are adapted from King’s highly successful novel of the same name from 1986.

The anticipated film has acquired countless memes under its marketing campaign as horror lovers await the seven bullied friends who become terrorized by the shape-shifting entity known as the eponymous being.

Taking place in the small town of Derry in the summer of 1989, The Loser’s Club consists of seven teens, one being Finn Wolfhard of “Stranger Things,” as they fight and resist the monster-like clown as he is the cause of the disappearance of dozens of other children in town.

“It” has been rumored to be slated for a two-part project. Although little has been communicated to the public, opening weekend will sure shed light on what the intended plans are for director Andy Muschietti and Warner Bros. Pictures. The coming-of-age film is estimated to reach the upper $60 million range. If that is achieved, “It” will perhaps break September horror records.

“What Happened to Monday” Available on Netflix now

One of the more absurd storylines that is currently popular on Netflix is “What Happened to Monday,” featuring Noomi Rapace seven times. Seven times as in she plays seven identical sisters in a futuristic world that is extremely over-populated.

Glenn Close is the government authority who has burdened the city with a one-child limit law. This is an enormous setback for the father of the septuplets, Willem Dafoe, as he creates a life for these seven siblings by naming them each day of the week, Monday, Tuesday and so on. Each sibling is instructed to leave their penthouse suite only on their given day.

Tommy Wirkola helms the director’s chair in this sci-fi/action conundrum after his egregious flop “Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters” that is somehow getting a sequel with him in charge once again.

The script - that has been in the works for over 10 years now — has quite the display of thrill that zigzags its way in and out of confusion. The real feat here, Rapace, concludes her greatest role since “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.”

As sweater weather approaches and the cool Lincoln Park breeze swooshes in, there’s no better time than now to give those summer playlists one last hoorah. Summer in Chicago has featured many festivals under the hot sun as artists release groovy vibes both live and through headphones.

Nonetheless, these tunes feature some great summer beats that will bring us back to the days of chilling by the lake without class.

1. “Coastal Brake” — Tycho Tycho’s “Coastal Brake” comes off of his (Scott Hansen’s) second studio album, “Dive”. It’s quite obvious when listening to the album that the idea of water comes to mind. Tycho, initially from San Francisco, is the ultimate Fullerton beach jam.

The melodic instrumentals mesh perfectly with the waves rolling in as the up-beat ambient drums will leave you wishing you were on one of those yachts gliding by. Moreover, all of Tycho’s releases help those gruesomely long study sessions.

2. “No Matter Where We Go” — Whitney Chicago’s very own up-andcoming country-inspired indie band Whitney secured the album of the summer last year when they released “Light Upon the Lake.” The sixth song “No Matter Where We Go” on the album was a fan favorite at Lollapalooza as they performed their debut album. Whitney’s summer jams hit home right in our own city colliding with their folky guitar riffs and pretty piano notes. The band is on track to release their second studio album in 2018.

Men's basketball adds transfers, coaches

By Garret Neal Asst. Sports Editor

One of the most eventful offseasons in recent DePaul men’s basketball history continued to roll right along over the summer with two new additions to the 2017-18 roster.

It started in early May when DePaul announced that Shane Heirman, head coach of Indiana’s high school powerhouse La Lumiere, would join Dave Leitao’s staff as an assistant coach for the 2017-18 season. The move paid dividends almost immediately as La Lumeire’s star point guard Tyger Campbell made a surprise commitment to DePaul, although he later reopened his college search.

Campbell, aside from having the best hair in basketball since Ben Wallace, was the first five-star recruit and the biggest name to grace Lincoln Park since Quintin Richardson in 1998. The flash of grabbing someone of his talent gave the program some momentary hope that had been hard to find over the last decade.

Campbell was, of course, the headliner, but DePaul made a couple of moves since then to bolster their roster as they head into the next few seasons.

In late June, it was announced that DePaul grabbed big-man Marin Maric as a graduate transfer from Northern Illinois (NIU). Listed at 6’11” and 250 pounds, Maric joins Levi Cook as the only two true centers on the team. For a team that started 6’7” Joe Hanel at center for much of last season, Maric is a welcome addition.

“His size and skill level speak for themselves as I think he will be at the top of the Big East in terms of post players,” head coach Dave Leitao said.

Maric is coming off a season in which he lead the NIU Huskies in both scoring and rebounding, averaging 14.4 and 8.4 per game, respectively. While he does not have

much range in terms of shooting, the newly rostered Blue Demon uses crafty footwork and his large frame to find easy points around the rim, where his size makes him difficult to guard.

Of course, size comes with its disadvantages, as an overall lack of speed and athleticism will make it interesting to see how Maric will match up against players that are similar in size.

In July, the La Lumiere connection came through once more, though admittedly in less spectacular fashion. Former teammate to Campbell, Jalen ColemanLands transferred to DePaul after two seasons at Illinois. Due to NCAA rules, the upcoming junior will have to sit out the 2017-18 season before joining Campbell in 2018-19. Until we get to see him in action, coach Leiato says he will still be a valuable asset.

“For the upcoming season, he’ll provide our team great competition in practice and as a player with two years of experience he’ll give us leadership on and off the court," Leidto said.

When he does play, Coleman-Lands promises to provide heaps of three pointers. In fact, they are just about all he shot during his time at Illinois. Of his 536 shots 393 were from behind the arc, about 73 percent.

Coleman-Lands set the freshman school record with 87 3-pointers during his first year, on 42-percent shooting. He followed that up with 71 threes on 38-percent shooting last season. Having a great wing talent like this will be great for a point guard like Campbell, especially in a time when 3-point shooting is becoming a focus of all offenses, if Lands can expand his offensive repertoire things could go to a next level.

DePaul also lost rising sophomore forward (and former La Lumiere player) Al Eichelberger who decided to transfer, siphoning more size from the Demons.

By Shane Rene Sports Editor

Men’s basketball will see a largely new coaching staff for the 2017-18 season, as head coach Dave Leitao announced he’s bringing Bill Courtney and Tim Anderson into the program.

Courtney and Anderson are the second and third additions to Leitao’s staff after former La Lumiere head coach Shane Heirman joined the team this spring. The resignation of Rick Carter and the promotion of Billy Garrett sent Leitao searching for new coaches.

On June 7, former associate head coach to Leitao, Rick Carter, tweeted that he would be resigning from his position at DePaul to focus on his company, SpotterEDU. “After a lot of thought, reflection, and consultation from family and friends, I’ve decided that it is in my best interest to resign from my position at DePaul and continue my quest to advance my company SpotterEDU,” Carter posted on his Twitter account.

Carter’s resignation opened a coaching position that Leitao handed to Courtney, who served as head coach at Cornell University from 2010-2016 after 15 years as an assistant coach at universities across the U.S. Courtney served as Leitao’s assistant coach at the University of Virginia for three years, including a 2007 ACC title run and a trip to the second round of the NCAA tournament. “(Courtney) has been an integral part of many successful programs as an assistant coach and his experience leading a program as a head coach brings an added dimension to our DePaul staff," Leitao said.

Courtney has an impressive record mentoring young players and turning them into stars. He coached seven All Ivy-

League players and two Ivy-League rookies of the year.

On Aug. 10, Leitao announced Anderson would be joining the program as an assistant coach and Billy Garrett would be taking an administrative role as director of basketball operations.

Garrett, the father of Blue Demon royalty, Billy Garrett Jr., joined the program back in 2009 after assistant coaching stints at Texas A&M Corpus Christi, Iowa, Seton Hall and Siena.

“Coach Garrett’s shift into the operations role will allow him to gain administrative experience and also focus on our local and on-campus recruiting efforts,” Leitao said.

Anderson’s background rests heavily in the high school basketball arena, which makes him a valuable asset for a program looking to rebuild with fresh recruits. "(Tim's) day-to-day skill development along with his experience as a player and coach will benefit our current players and the players we are bringing into the program. His relationships in the grassroots and high school communities both locally and nationally bring an added benefit to an already strong staff," Leitao said.

A Chicago native, Anderson attended Crane High School on the near west side before leading them to three straight Illinois High School Association (IHSA) tournament appearances as a coach, accruing a 63-24 record.

Anderson’s first experience coaching at the collegiate level came in 2011 with an assistant coaching position at UT-Pan American (now UT-Rio Grande Valley).

He left the program in 2013.

Since then, Anderson worked for Nike EYBL MeanStreets AAU basketball program and founded Ground Zero Training, which develops young players in high school, college, and at the professional level.

BLUE DEMON RUNDOWN VOLLEYBALL Coming off a 13-17 season, eighth year head coach Nadia Edwards has DePaul has opening this year at 2-6. The Demons opened the season by heading to Bloomington for the Indiana Invitational.

DePaul lost the first game to Indiana State in straight sets. It looked like it could be a repeat against Indiana University after dropping the first two sets, but the Demons battled to grab the second set 25-19 before ultimately losing 3-1.

They would match up with Ball State in their final tournament game, again prolonging the inevitable by grabbing set number three before falling in the fourth set, coming to 0-3 in the tournament.

Following the disappointing opening, they would follow up with two games in the UIC tournament. Game one went the Blue Demons way, defeating Idaho 3-1.

Sophomore setter Katie Dolan set a career high in assists with 46.

In the last match, DePaul took on UIC and would topple them 3-1. The victory saw multiple career bests from both junior Brittany Maxwell and sophomore Claire Anderson. Maxwell produced 48 attacks and six digs, while Anderson set highs with 14 kills and 10 digs. Maxwell’s play in the two bounce back victories earned her

a spot on the Big East weekly honor roll, leading the league in points and kills per set, 5.44 and 4.75 respectively.

The Demons came back home for the DePaul Invitational, playing three games at McGrath Phillips arena. In game one DePaul faced the Black Knights of Army West Point, a team featuring eight freshamn. Things started off well for the Demons, winning the first set, but were unable to hang on to slim leads in the next three sets and would be slain 3-1.

On the second day of the tournament, DePaul fared no better, falling 3-0 to both Milwaukee and Northwestern. Milwuakee was a tough one, that saw the Demons squander an early lead in set one and lose a back and forth second set featuring twelve ties. Against Northwestern, the Demons would once agin get ahead in the first set, but would otherwise struggle, falling 3-0. In one positive from the tournament, senior Myah Reed was named to the AllTournament team.

DePaul will look to get back to winning ways when they take on Loyola in the Gentile Center on the twelfth. The city rival is 1-7 this season and rides back to back losses against Marquette and no.

13 Kentucky into this match up.

SOCCER

Men

Women

Coming off one of its best years in recent history, a quite respectable 9-7-3, the men’s soccer team is off to 2-3 start.

The season opened with a fun overtime matchup against Norther Illinois.

A foul from Norther Illinois gave senior Philipp Konigstein the free kick necessary to tie the game at 2-2 with three seconds left. They would fall in overtime 3-2.

But one overtime wasn’t enough so they took it to two against UIC, who would hit the game winner in the 105th minute and take the game 3-2.

The men next played in the Chicago classic taking the first-round win against La Salle 2-1. In the championship game against Valparaiso, DePaul fell 2-1, giving up the winning goal in the 67th minute.

Istvan Wilhelms and Caleb Pothast were named to the all-tournament team.

On Sunday, the Blue Demons got back in the win column, dominating the Drake Bulldogs 3-1 with goals from Wilhelms, Konigstein and Timmy Iscra.

Their next game is on the twelfth against Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.

The women are off to a somewhat slow start this year, sitting at 4-4. In the previous season, DePaul was 1-4-2 before tearing on a seven-game winning streak and eventually taking home the Big East Championship.

The Demons took a tough loss, 1-0, to a Northwestern team that was ranked 23 in the nation at the time. They would then lose 2-1 to Illinois before competing in the Loyola Invitational.

Their first two wins were timely, garnering them the championship, with Alexa Ben taking home the MVP trophy.

The joy was short lived as they would then fall to Purdue 2-0 while registering just six shots. Taking on no. 12 Texas A&M also resulted in a 2-0 loss.

The women won their home openerin an upset over Pepperdine, who received 18 votes for the top 25 in the coaches poll. The lone goal was scored by freshamn Morgnan Turner, her first goal at the college level.

DePaul finished the weekend with a 4-0 win against William and Mary. The blue Demons have forced a shutout in all four of their victories.

Demons host seven in new den

By Paul Steeno Staff Writer

Those itching to experience Blue Demon basketball at Wintrust Arena will have plenty of opportunities to do just that during the non-conference portion of DePaul’s schedule. The Blue Demons released their non-conference schedule for the 2017-2018 season and will host seven non-conference games at Wintrust Arena.

The Blue Demon’s season begins on Nov. 11 with a matchup against Atlantic Coast Conference powerhouse Notre Dame in what will be the first regularseason game ever played at Wintrust Arena. DePaul will host Delaware State, Youngstown State, Central Connecticut State, Alabama A&M, Northwestern and Miami (Ohio) to finish off the nonconference home slate.

The Blue Demons will also navigate a challenging road game and three neutralsite games during the non-conference portion of the upcoming schedule. On Nov. 17, the Blue Demons will travel south to face off against the University of Illinois Fighting Illini for the first time in 60 years as part of the Gavitt Tipoff Games series that matches up the Big East and Big 10 in a cross-conference showdown.

During Thanksgiving week, the Blue Demons will fly out to Portland, Oregon to take part in the PK80-Phil Knight Invitational tournament that includes North Carolina, Portland, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Michigan State, Connecticut and Oregon. DePaul will play Michigan State in the first round.

Wooden skyline

By Paul Steeno Staff Writer

Wintrust Arena underwent one of its final makeovers in preparation for the upcoming DePaul basketball season when workers finished installing the playing floor in the new arena on Wednesday morning.

The pale, beige, maple wood floor features a landscape of the Chicago skyline running along the length of one side. Court markings are black and blue and a Blue Demon logo occupies the center court.

The out of bounds area is black with blue block letters reading "DePaul" and "Blue Demons" running vertically across each baseline. DePaul Basketball previously named it Ray and Marge Meyer Court after legendary men’s basketball coach Ray Meyer and his wife Marge.

DePaul athletics released pictures of a mystery delivery on its Twitter account on Tuesday morning teasing the announcement of the installment of the new floor today. Connor Sports is the architect behind the new court and this company also creates the courts used in the Final Four.

DePaul men’s and women’s basketball will debut at the new arena on Nov. 5 in a doubleheader exhibition game against NAIA opponents. The men will play their first regular season game at Wintrust on Nov. 11 against the University of Notre Dame a day after the DePaul women make their home debut, one of six games at Wintrust, against the University of Northern Colorado.

in attendance. Building fancy new seats for a basketball team that can’t get people to care enough to go watch them seems entirely removed from logic. According to estimates reported

by Crain’s, DePaul will need to average 9,500 in attendance to break even on operating costs, which could require a few sellout crowds.

If DePaul doesn’t sellout their first regular season home game agaisnt the University of Notre Dame, the University will miss those numbers by a long shot. Notre Dame’s alumni fan base in Chicago and the hype of a new stadium with improved proximity to campus is their only shot at filling the arena to capacity.

Just a day after Campbell publically de-committed, his family released a statement reading: “In the last 24 hours, our family has experienced a wide range of emotions. The recruiting process is very hard and as we embark on this journey we brace ourselves for the ride, fully aware of the fact that sometimes it can be breathtaking and other times it can just take your breath. It’s not easy to go through such a private experience in the blaring light of the public. With that said, we would like to make a strong statement of support to the city of Chicago, a place that is very dear to our hearts and has made us feel at home. We love DePaul university and the men’s basketball program. Coach Leitao and his staff exemplify the highly coveted traits of integrity, loyalty, and perserverance. We are in awe of their support and we believe in them. We look forward to his official visit.”

This is important to note because an official visit down the road gives DePaul a chance to win-back their star recruit. Campbell and his family clearly love the city of Chicago and have a seemingly friendly relationship with the men's basketball program - there is no reason believe Tyger is gone for good.

Campbell (no matter his final decision) and Wintrust will create some synergy and provide a little “snowball effect” for DePaul. Players want to play somewhere where they will be seen and fans want to watch good basketball.

Wintrust will see more fans simply due to an improved proximity to campus and the city center, but an influx of talent will push that along even more. And, once the talent attracts more attention, the attention will attract even more talent.

Campbell wouldn't have arrived in Lincoln Park until 2018, so the Blue Demons probably still have at least another year to grind out in the basement before the tables starts to turn in their favor. Plus, DePaul could land another five-star recruit by the time Campbell gets to town, whether he finds himself in a Blue Demon uniform or not.

Campbell commintting and decommitting is painful, but was bound to happen. It's alot easier to play basketball than it is to make permanent life decisions at the age of 15 or 16 - what were your priorities in high school?

In the short term, Dave Leitao and his staff need to focus on putting the programs immediate resources to use in the comming season. Another 20-loss, nine-win flop in DePaul's first season at Wintrust could drive Campbell and everyother five-star recruit running away from the Windy City.

ok, so my subs really aren't gourmet and we're not french either. my subs just taste a little better, that's all! I wanted to call it jimmy john's tasty sandwiches, but my mom told me to stick with gourmet.

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE Tyger Campbell, DePaul’s first five-star recruit since Quentin Richardson graced Lincoln Park in 1998, steps back from his verbal commitment to the Blue Demons, re-opening his college recruitment process.

PATRICK GORSKI | MAX PREPS

Tyger Campbell re-opens college recruitment via Twitter

By Shane Rene & Paul Steeno Sports Editor & Staff Writer

Five-star point guard recruit Tyger Campbell announced via his Twitter account late Friday, Sept. 2 that he is no longer committed to DePaul and will re-open his college recruitment process.

“First off, I would like to thank DePaul University and the city of Chicago for their show of love and belief in me,” Campbell Tweeted via iNote around 11:30 p.m. on Sept. 1. “After great consideration and with the full support of my family, I have decided to open my college recruitment effective September 1st. I am thankful to all the coaches, colleges, friends, and family that have stood by me during this journey.

I am ready to embark fully into this process and make a well-informed decision on where I will attend college.”

The 5-foot-11 point guard from La Lumiere High School in La Porte, Indiana shocked the basketball world in May when he verbally committed to become a Blue Demon on Twitter, despite fielding offers from several more prestigious basketball schools around the country. Campbell aimed to reclassify to the class of 2018 so he could start playing for the Blue Demons during the 2018-19 season.

This is a blow to a DePaul program that had put together a nice body of work in the recruiting department this offseason. Aside from Campbell, the Blue Demons landed Illinois transfer Jalen Coleman-Lands and Northern Illinois graduate transfer Marin Maric.

Campbell would have been DePaul’s first five-star recruit since Quentin Richardson in 1998, filling a huge hole at pointguard left by Billy Garrett Jr.

In May, DePaul announced that former La Lumiere head coach Shane Heirman was hired as an assitant coach for the men’s basketball team. Heirman coached Campbell at La Lumiere, which was a factor in Campbell’s initial commitment to DePaul.

“I happened to fall in love with DePaul, so it was cool (Heirman) works there because I look up to him,” Campbell told the Chicago Tribune.

Campbell and Heirman’s connections to one of the top high school basketball programs in the country looked like a game changer for DePaul’s recruiting office. For a program that stuggles to recruit in their own backyard, tapping into the fertile recruiting ground of the midwest will be key for the Blue Demons finding their way out of the Big East basement.

On Sept. 3, one day after Campbell publicly withdrew his commitment, his family posted a note to his Twitter account, to express their appreciation to the university and left the door open for Campbell officially committing to DePaul.

“We love DePaul University and the men’s basketball program,” the Campbell family wrote. “Coach Leitao and his staff exemplify the highly coveted traits of integrity, loyalty, and perserverance. We are in awe of their support and we believe in them. We look forward to his official visit.”

Campbell could still find his way to Lincoln Park when he signs his letter of intent, but DePaul will have to convince the five-star recruit that rebranding DePaul as an NCAA heavyweight is worth more than chasing titles with programs already basking in the winners circle.

Per NCAA regulations, DePaul’s athletic staff cannot comment on Campbell while he remains unsigned.

COMMENTARY

By Shane Rene Sports Editor

When Quentin Richardson committed to DePaul in the late 90’s, the Blue Demons were only a couple decades removed from the glory days of the Ray Meyer era. For a five-star recruit sitting on offers from elite programs all over the country, Lincoln Park still had just enough national attention to help grow a superstar.

But top-shelf recruits don’t feel the same draw to Chicago’s northside as they once did -- in fact, they are repelled.

For the last decade, DePaul has failed to capture more than 12 wins in a single season and racked up more than 20 losses in seven of them. Those numbers make it hard to watch or care much about Blue Demon basketball, even for the most loyal and devout alumni, leaving the program with little to offer quality recruits.

That’s why it was such a surprise when Tyger Campbell verbally committed to DePaul this past May. Why would a five-star recruit like Campbell commit to play basketball for a team that hasn’t received an NIT berth since he was old enough to follow college basketball?

“I love Chicago. It’s a great city,” Campbell told Scout.com. “I want to bring the city a college back to cheer for.”

In hindsight, this should have been a big, red flag for DePaul fans.

Campbell’s love for Chicago and the university is great, but young athletes

of his caliber rarely make independent decisions on these matters. Highstrung parents, coaches and mentors are a permanent fixture in the minds of prodigy athletes, pushing and pulling until they go pro, or go bust.

In Campbell’s case, I think someone in his inner-circle sat him down and said, “Look, Chicago is cool and comeback stories are great, but do you really want to leave high school early to go play for the Cleveland Browns of Big East basketball?”

NCAA regulations prohibit coaches and players from publicly commenting on unsigned recruits, so I can only speculate on what gave Campbell cold feet. But, given why he wanted to come to DePaul in the first place, his age and his talent, I think it’s pretty clear that someone told him not to rush into the biggest decision of his life thus far.

So, where does this leave the men’s basketball program? Despite the heartbreak felt by fans, nothing has really changed.

This past May, I commented in the DePaulia that Campbell’s commitment was evidence of Wintrust Arena paying dividends, and it still is even if Tyger changed his mind.

Wintrust Arena was a shiny, new, $200-million toy to lure the nation’s top talent to DePaul and it caught a big fish almost immediately. This fish happened to slip off the hook, but that happens -the important thing is: fish are biting.

Wintrust started to look a reckless expenditure on the heels of Crain’s Business report that said three separate DePaul games had fewer than 600 fans
