As a non-profit organization, DePauw University’s 11 highest compensated employees must be published in the International Tax Revenue Form 990 for anyone to see. The most recent numbers, those from 2011, have recently been released and while a few names have dropped off the list, the numbers, on average, seem to be going up. According to Bradley Kelsheimer, vice president for finance and administration, the Form 990 is a matter of public record for the sake of accountability. “There’s a responsibility to responsibly run a non-profit, and obviously executive compensation is a big part of that,” Kelsheimer explained. The salaries, bonuses, non-taxable compensation and entire compensation packages received for the 2010-2011 year for each of the 11 highest paid University employees are included in this form. Compensation packages, which include taxable
seem to be even wider. Heidi Menzel, a modern languages secretary, was appalled when she first saw the 2011 numbers. “You see these numbers and hear about these drastic raises in the same years we’re told we don’t get a raise,” she said. “It’s a big slap in the face.” At $13 an hour with a steady workweek of 37 hours nine and a half months out of the year, Menzel said, “at the wages I earn, I’m below poverty level.” Menzel added that while her husband’s salary supplements her wages as a faculty member here, she still finds the difference between top paid employees and herself appalling. “You see what the administration is making, and it’s not even apples and oranges,” Menzel said. “It’s demoralizing… It literally bites hard.” Menzel believes DePauw’s board of trustees to be overwhelmingly corporateminded, and that there are things the staff

and non-taxable compensation, on this list range from $541,924 to $168,800. These numbers have increased from the 2010 report, when they ranged from $468,675 to $158,426. Two names have dropped off the list entirely, Lisa Hollander former vice president for resource planning and senior philanthropic advisor,and Gary Lemon, director of the McDermond Center and Management Fellows Program. Only one person, Christopher Wells, vice president for communications and strategic initiatives, had his compensation decrease from 2010. President Brian Casey’s net compensation for the 2010-2011 year was $541,924, and the compensation of presidents at comparable universities seems to fall a little short of that. John Roush, President of Centre College, had a total compensation package of $306,882 in the year 2011. Wabash College’s president in 2011, Patrick White, received $260,589 in total compensation. Dale Knobel of Denison University reported a total compensation of $454,538 in 2011. The discrepancies within DePauw itself

WHAT I HAD THOUGHT HAD HAPPENED WAS--
Program co-advisor at DePauw, does not see a push happening at all, calling the interest in the program “nothing new,” and “the product of years and years of hard work from students, faculty, and staff.” Despite the uncertainty over whether DePauw is pushing its students to apply for the right reasons, there is no question that DePauw students are succeeding in their endeavors. Quisenberry believes that the combination of incredible faculty and driven students is what has truly led to more Fulbright awards this past year than ever before. “DePauw students are great writers, traveled people and can think critically,” Quisenberry said, which she believes are the essential elements of an application. Gellman agrees, “It is truly a community-wide effort, and without so many contributions from so many people none of this would be possible.”
Rep. Ron Paul to speak tonight as part of Ubben lecture series By Nicole DeCriscio news@thedepauw.com
Rep. Ron Paul, who is a three-time presidential candidate, will speak tonight in Kresge Auditorium. Paul was also named one of Time magazine’s top 100 most influential people, and The Indianapolis Star named him first on the most interesting people to visit central Indiana this fall. Doors open to students at 6:30 p.m. and the general public at 6:50 p.m. Students should bring their student ID. “He’s a well known spokesperson for the social ideological movement of libertarianism,” said Brett O’Bannon, professor of political science. O’Bannon believes that this is a good opportunity for students to better understand Libertarianism. “It’s an opportunity to see someone widely associated with these doctrines defend them,” O’Bannon said. “It’s an opportunity to pose a question or two to the standard bearer of contemporary Libertarianism,

The Fulbright scholarship, a prestigious award given to a few college graduates, has spiked in DePauw University recipients in 2013 with seven recipients, compared to only two in 2011. The Fulbright Program is an international educational exchange program that is awarded to roughly 8,000 people each year who have shown outstanding academic and leadership qualities. U.S. citizens apply to go abroad, and non-U.S. citizens apply to come to the U.S to do research, teach in elementary and secondary schools, exchange ideas and find solutions to international issues. The number of DePauw students who have received Fulbright awards has risen dramatically in recent years. Kate Knaul, national fellowship advisor and assistant dean for academic life at DePauw, thinks that this is due to a domino effect. “When students win and their story is shared,

other students see that they, too, could apply and win these competitive awards,” Knaul said. She added that DePauw faculty also “identify potential applicants and encourage them to apply.” DePauw faculty and staff have been quite persistent over the past few years in encouraging students to apply for the Fulbright award. There has been some debate over whether this push has been in the best interest of the students, or if DePauw wants more of its students to receive Fulbright awards to increase its own prestige. Kendall Quisenberry ’13, a recipient of last year’s Fulbright award, thinks that this type of behavior is natural in any college. “That’s how colleges operate,” Quisenberry said. However, she does not necessarily consider this to be a bad thing. “Essentially, students, faculty and alumni make the institution, therefore, when one element succeeds, they all succeed,” Quisenberry said.

perhaps to get him to defend some of his controversial stuff or better explain some of his stuff.” One particular controversial issue surrounding Paul is that he will be giving a keynote address at the Fatima Center’s “Path to Peace” conference in Niagra Falls, Ontario, right after speaking at DePauw. The conference is known to host some radical views. “He has things to answer for,” O’Bannon said. “[The] conference widely hailed to anti-semitic and racist sponsored by the Fatima Center. He ought to perhaps be questioned on that.” Ken Owen ‘82, executive director of media relations and coordinator for the Ubben Lecture Series, noted that initially, he was concerned by the news of his keynote speech. Paul’s speaker agency is run by a person of the Jewish faith, and several of the employees for the firm are Jewish, as well. “The first thing I did was call over there, and their response was basically, ‘There’s no way. He’s not an anti-semite. We work with him everyday. We spend a

lot of time around him. He’s a good man. Disregard it,’” Owen said. Owen noted that the accusations “generated through the blogosphere,” and Owen has faced some pushback for many speakers that have come to campus. Paul is one of a few conservative political figures to come as part of the series in the last decade. “The last time we really had somebody from the conservative side, by themselves on that stage, was Paul Bremer in 2004,” Owen said. When Paul spoke at Oberlin College, he drew about 1,200 people and Owen expects approximately the same number, but is prepared to send some people to Thompson Recital Hall and Moore Theater for

term plans involving strengthening the Academic Program and the Student Experience. In order to offer future students in financial need with more aid, as well as to compete with colleges such as Grinnell College, Oberlin College, and Kenyon College, DePauw will be switching to a precipice admission policy starting with the class of 2019. This means that DePauw will no longer be a rolling-admission university where applicants find out whether or not they got into DePauw a few weeks after they send in their application. Instead, everyone will find out the status of their application on April 1, like most top tier colleges and universities. “This is a big cultural shift for our Admissions Office, this is a big deal, this is a big gamble,” said President Casey. “We’re going to start acting like a national institution.” Furthermore, improvements to the campus were discussed, including the construction of the Hoover Dining Hall starting in 2014. In order for DePauw to continue providing the “DePauw Experience,” worth more than what students are paying, President Casey is in charge of getting a further endowment of around $150 million in the next two years.
should still be properly compensated. “My faculty know that they can’t do what I do and they treat me like a hero everyday,” Menzel said. “They are in shock when they hear what I make.” Upon discovering the differences in compensation between the top paid University employees and Menzel, sophomore Kevin Bugielski was shocked. “I just think it’s ridiculous that they’re getting paid that little,” he said. Bugielski was quick to add that though he thinks staff should be granted higher wages, he still believes Casey’s overall compensation to be fair. “I don’t think $50,000 should be taken away from President Casey to go towards the secretaries at the school, because he’s

The speech will feature a question and answer period at the end. Owen said that those seeking to ask questions should have it ready and sit in a place where they will be able to get to the microphones in the aisles. Sophomore Zach Baker is excited for Paul speak at DePauw. “I voted to nominate him for the republican spot for 2012,” Baker said. “I am literally going to wait in line for hours, if I have to.” While Owen could not disclose how much having Paul come to campus costs, he did say that it was a decent price. “As these things go, it isn’t anywhere

The first faculty meeting of the year was filled with agendas and committee member updates. The meeting also contained its fair share of remorse as the Monday afternoon meeting was opened with the announcement of two deaths in DePauw alumni and past faculty. Forst D. Fuller ’38 and Robert H. Farber ’35 both passed this summer. Vanessa Fox, Professor of Biology, read the remembrance for Forst Fuller while David Bohmer, Director of the Pulliam Center for Contemporary Media and Media Fellows, shared a few comments and a story about Bob Farber. “I certainly don’t know somebody who committed more of his adult life to the place he loved first and foremost, DePauw University,” said Dr. Bohmer when speaking about Bob Farber. Shifting back to business, faculty members from various committees including Committee on Academic Policy and Planning (CAPP), Management of Academic Operations (MAO), Committee of Faculty (COF), Student Life and Academic Atmosphere Committee (SLAAC), Faculty Governance Steering Committee (FGSC), Faculty Development Committee (FDC), Committee on Administration (COA), and Committee on Honorary Degrees (CHD) spoke regarding the status of their committees and new members. Since the school year has just started, most committees had no news because they had not yet met. Shifting back to business, faculty members requested that Commit-
tee on Academic Policy and Planning (CAPP) to “revisit the newlyimplemented requirement that students may only earn W’s for W courses taken in their sophomore year” (DePauw University Faculty Meeting Agenda) so as to accommodate transfer students transferring in after their sophomore year and other circumstances. After the committees spoke, most of the meeting was taken up with presentations from President Brian Casey and Vice President of Finance Brad Kelsheimer. Casey’s presentation offered a broad University update on such things as diversity within the faculty and Ubben lectures. He noted that in the past, classes have been cancelled for a few Ubben lectures of great importance (Bill Clinton and Margaret Thatcher); however, classes will not be cancelled today for Ron Paul’s Ubben lecture. There was a break in Casey’s presentation for Kelsheimer’s presentation on the University’s finances. He noted that DePauw’s net worth this year is a little over $682 million and has grown by over $100 million since last year. However, it was also noted that DePauw is $119 million in debt, though Kelsheimer added DePauw still has a good ratio of assets to debt compared to other universities. DePauw has also broken even each year in cash flow since 2009. President Casey was then given the floor once again to discuss the future for DePauw University known as the ‘DePauw 2020 Plan.’ The plan consists of several short-term plans including adding staff to the Admissions Office and increasing Alumni Engagement, as well as several long-

still doing the most work.” Senior Aashray Patel agreed. “It’s just based on responsibilities,” Patel said. “I feel like Brian Casey has the most responsibilities and his decisions have the most impact. So he should be rewarded for that.” Kelsheimer agreed that there are discrepancies to be found in the salaries and compensation of University employees. “There’s going to be some discrepancy in any organization between people and responsibilities,” he stated. However, like Bugielski, he hesitates in saying that University funds should be redistributed among employees. “We would love to pay everyone more, [it’s] a fair statement,” Kelsheimer said. “I don’t think there’s any organization that wouldn’t love to pay everyone more.”
near the expensive end. It’s in the very reasonable ball-park,” Owen said. “In terms of bang for your buck, I think this is a very good value.” O’Bannon believes that challenging what students believe is an important aspect of any higher education, but especially a liberal arts education. “I think being exposed to alternative ideas is the very essence of the educational enterprise,” O’Bannon said. “If, we’re here to just affirm what people believe already, then we can just go home. Our work is done.”

DePauw Student Government
DSG takes on club rerecognition at first meeting By nettie finn news@thedepauw.com
Student Representatives and the Student Senate met Sunday night to discuss clubs applying for re-recognition and other subjects of interest to the student body. Two clubs applied for re-recognition, the Outdoors Club and Udi’s Gluten Free. To be a recognized club means that a portion of the club’s funding comes from DePauw Student Government. Both clubs applying for re-recognition were granted one minute to speak to the representatives and senate, followed by one minute for questions before a vote from the representatives called for. The Outdoors Club and Udi’s Gluten Free had not lost recognition for any internal club
problems. Rather, they had missed the original club recognition meeting. Both the Outdoors Club and Udi’s Gluten Free gained re-recognition from DePauw Student Government by an overwhelming majority. Olivia Flores, student body vice president, then opened the floor to a discussion on the new dining service, Bon Appétit. Representatives discussed the need for more convenience store options in the Den, refill options in the Hub and the possibility of lowering a few prices. “You heard something and you voiced it: that means you’re doing your job,” Flores said. Student Body President Walker Chance was pleased with the discussion too. “Keep bringing the opinions of your groups and the rest of the students,” Chance said. “It’s awesome.”

Beyond the Bubble
Lauren Arnold recounts her experience in Ireland
Lauren Arnold doing “place based learning,” in which she was asked to create artwork based off of the sites they visited. RACHEL CARBARY / PHOTO COURTESTY OF LAUREN ARNOLD I sat in my “Time, Memory and The Burren” course, as the dean of The Burren College of Art explained, “the abroad experience” as “the W complex.” “You will start out on a very large high; nothing will stop you; there on the far left side of the W. And then, you will drop,” he said. “You will have nothing to hold on to; nothing to call your own; no one who knew you before. This point is the most crucial part of your entire trip. How will you intersect your past into this new present?” On my gradual journey up to the centerfold of that middle part of the “W,” I began to learn the importance of claiming my own space in a local environment of Ballyvaughan, Ireland, where I spent the summer in an art program. When I saw the flyer for “An Art and Ecology Program,” in the Peeler Art Center next to Professor Anne Harris’s office doorway, I knew that this school was going to be a proactive one. The school promotes the culture of The Burren’s natural art and land. I learned that Ballyvaughan’s culture was as influential to local residents and artists as it was
to the town’s tourists. “Place-based learning” was a hands-on form of on site education. DePauw, and specifically my job at the Prindle Institute for Ethics, helped prepare me to plant and grow my own life in a locally-immersed community, both within and out of a “campus bubble.” I learned how important it was to create and sustain connections as strong as what I have made here at DePauw. I learned that the more I planted my passion of studying local art and nature into those around me, the more innate differences could coexist as a unit. As time went on, my plans for my final art show solidified. I realized that I wanted to give back, become one with these spaces, and reinstate for myself that to be alone in nature as a female was not a horrific thing. I accomplished this through dancing, a form of art that I have felt so close to for all of my life. I felt closer to each local spot itself, as I let the old movements that I knew intertwine with the new environment that rushed over me. I would dance everywhere. I would let the sounds and spaces of
the undomestic and domesticated things around me influence my journey of creative movement. Outside of an old stone home, for instance, nature encroached and took over every foot of the rock and crevice of the once domestic space. Together the undomestic swaying leaves and my raw movement shared a coexistent space that intertwined and sustained a beautifully equal simultaneity of the two. I danced in a haunted castle and recorded noises of the creaking doors, the broken piano and the loose floorboards. I edited my movements on the computer to match those exact sounds and emotions of hysteria. I would screen shot each second and movement in every dance clip and I would print out all of the pictures and make them into flip books. These creations evoked the notion that every movement and every piece of art form in these coexistent spaces of domesticated life and undomesticated nature and art equally deserved their very own space. When I got home, I realized I slipped down the final downslope of “the W.” I have been back in
the states for a little over a month. I can proudly say that I am rekindling these strong and heartfelt connections I have back at DePauw with my closeknit friends, dedicated professors and role models. I have also enjoyed revisiting the inspiring spaces that invite a progressive coexistence of art and nature such as Peeler, Prindle and classes like my Ecofeminist Approaches to the Environment class. I am already climbing back up that final upslope of “the W.” Our dean back in Ballyvaughan warned us that it might be hard, but I cannot wait to climb that last step to the final peak.

Stay On Track Staying focused on assignments could be very overwhelming for some students. An overload of information could cause a person to stress out and cause them to abandon their work. According to many of our upperclassmen, recording assignments based on top priority is the key to staying organized. Senior Shannon Crosby sticks to the traditional way of writing down her assignments and other plans in her planner. “I do check boxes next to the stuff that I have to do,” Crosby said. “So if I don’t check off it bothers me so it makes me want to check it off.”
Sophomore Gabrielle Duong also writes her events down, but prefers to see them everywhere she goes. “In my room I have white boards and I write on my mirrors to remind me of things that I need to do or events that I have to go to— if I don’t see it I forget,” Duong said. Duong also believes that study spaces and the people you work with play an important role in producing good work. Working alone may be best if you get easily distracted.
Feed Your Mind There are a few essentials to create the perfect study conditions including noisecontrol, comfort and organization. But one important aspect can often make or break your study session: a satisfied stomach. Junior Perry Grimwood and sophomore Michael Chavez both rely on fruits for simple yet healthy energy boost. Chavez recommends grapes, watermelon and pineapple, while Grimwood prefers his fruit dry. “I’m a big fan of Craisins and dried mangoes,” Grimwood said. Senior Ben Hazen and Crosby use food
as a way to stay focused and distracted. “I like to snack on dry cereal because it gives me something mechanical to do while studying,” Crosby said. Hazen uses sunflower seeds to keep himself occupied. “It gives my mouth something to do, and it keeps me awake to help pass the time.”

it comes to balancing both their academic and social lives. We asked six upperclassmen to share tips about staying on track academically, healthy ways to relieve stress, finding the right foods to eat for optimum productivity and innovative ways have fun on campus.
Have Fun At times living within the confines of such a small campus and town can be somewhat limiting when it comes to finding things to do to keep entertained. Our upperclassmen suggest putting your creativity to the test in order to have fun. As a previous resident assistant, Hazen is familiar with entertaining his first-year residents.
“My residents all went out and bought Nerf guns and we’d have Nerf gun wars in our dorms,” he said. “It was so fun.” Hazen also suggest going outdoors and playing campus golf with friends. Duong uses a creative outlet to entertain herself. “I usually do art projects on my own,” she said. She enjoys making decorations for her room.
Chill Out, not Stress Out Stress will inevitable be a part of every student’s college career. Stress can be both positive and negative, but too much stress can have adverse effects on the body. It can diminish the way one performs in the classroom and negatively affect your relationships with others. Chavez enjoys playing pool to reduce his stress level. “When you’re doing something that you’re good at it will definitely take your mind off the work,” Chavez said. Hazen clears his mind by retreating to the Prindle Institute for Ethics to reflect. “I go out there before every game for soccer,” he said. “I find that it’s very relax-
ing and it’s very easy to just let the stresses of college melt away.” Crosby prefers to employ the “out of sight out of mind” theory by getting away from campus from time to time. “I find someone that wants to leave campus and we go either to the Nature Park or to Plainfield to [see] a movie.” Crosby also suggests students to unwind at Cataract Falls, a recreation area in Owen County. “There are rocks you can lay on…you could sit there or you could do homework there outside.”

Ron Paul: Guilty by association Rep. Ron Paul is well known for his laissez-faire governmental stance as a Libertarian. He has served 11 terms in Congress dating back to 1976 and he has run for president three times. Supporters applaud his individualist views on the importance of liberty, low taxes and a limited constitutional government. However, Paul is known for more than just these beliefs. Throughout his political career, Paul has long been affiliated with extremist, neoconservative and largely countercultural ideas. During the 2008 presidential elections, newsletters from Ron Paul Political Report, published in the 1990s, surfaced. The letters, although published to offer political news and investment advice, also contain passages that are homophobic, racist, anti-Semitic and antigovernment. An October 1990 newsletter slams black activists, saying that their next demonstration should be held “at a food stamp bureau or a crack house.” In June 1990 the Ron Paul Political Report said, “I miss the closet. Homosexuals, not to speak of the rest of society, were far better off when social pressure forced them to hide their activities.” The newsletters’ statements range from making the claim that AIDS is a “deliberately engineered hybrid” to defending chess champion and Holocaust denier Bobby Fischer. While Paul has denied responsibility for these articles, he was president of the company that published the newsletter and his name appeared in the masthead. The letters are words of the past, but Paul continues to associate with groups that hold these views. The day after he speaks at DePauw, Paul will be giving a keynote address at the Fatima Center’s “Path to Peace” conference. The group is notorious for its published writing suggesting that Jewish people should be stripped of certain civil rights and was recently called “perhaps the single largest group of hardcore anti-Semites in North America” by the publication Salon. Paul will be speaking alongside Holocaust deniers, geocentrists, who reject the widely accepted heliocentric model of the solar system, as well as individuals who claim that global climate change is a hoax to justify a Jewish and Israeli-led genocide. Many invited guest speakers declined the offer, citing their discomfort and unhappiness with the group’s radical, anti-humanitarian beliefs. Paul accepted. This critique of Paul is neither a reflection of the editorial board’s political views nor a refusal to be open minded about the freedom of speech and thought. This is not a political attack. Rather, this is a question of the boundaries of whom DePauw deems legitimate and appropriate to invite to campus and to endorse as a notable speaker. As a liberal arts university, DePauw should be inviting a diverse group of speakers to the university to open a dialogue amongst students and broaden our minds to new ideas. However, in an educational environment, Paul’s toxic anti-humanitarian associations should not be tolerated nor given a platform of legitimization. Even Paul’s fellow conservatives have derided the ideas that he supports. William F. Buckley, founder of the conservative political magazine, the National Review, said of neoconservative ideologies, “It has been by no means unanimous in the belief that conservatism consists in that kind of evangelistic extreme.” In other words, critiquing these ideologies is not synonymous with critiquing conservatism. Although Paul has not directly stated that he yields these views, according to the First Amendment law of the freedom of speech, one’s association can be considered just as accountable as saying something oneself. Paul’s consistent and continual participation in radical groups shows his symbolic belief and support for these ideas. His compelling background and experiences as well as his discussion of the NSA will likely be engaging and well informed. The insights that he can share on one topic, however, does not change the fact that he has allied himself with openly bigoted groups. By paying Paul to speak at DePauw and treating him as a guest, the university and the Ubbens are associating themselves with the antihumanitarian beliefs with which Paul associates himself. As a campus we should be open-minded about ideas. We should appreciate intellectual diversity. But, there are some mindsets that are harmful. If the university was searching for a speaker to diversify the palette, there are hundreds of credible messengers of conservative principles that could have been chosen. In an educational environment, there are standards that have to be set. email us at edboard@thedepauw.com

A
re you ready for a dose of candid Libertarian spirit?
The martyr of this movement, Rep. Ron Paul, will be speaking on DePauw’s campus this evening. His pallet of platforms includes limited government, agency slashing and a rejection of revenue generation. Paul’s “third-party” association has captured hold of America’s individualists. I am not one of those people. Neither am I one of the political rejectionists that roam this campus. Personally, I find it easier to enter political discourse via the old-fashioned two-party tug-of-war. Using the GOP to purport his more radical views, I find Paul’s Libertarian agenda idealistic. The Libertarian mindset of no taxes, no government and no necessary regulation policies translate loosely to no roads, no healthcare for veterans and no sanity. Sound familiar? Oh yes, the Tea Party. And it’s no coincidence his son, Senator Rand Paul, is the poster child for the Congressional Tea Party caucus. OK, so I’m one to establish Paul as a torch-bearer of an irrational political movement. But I do succumb to the notion that some of his views are pragmatic and bold. Moreover, I find Paul’s visit to DePauw to be timely. The National Security Agency leaks and the current situation plaguing Syria are both relevant issues in which I agree with Paul. With the NSA, Paul rightly cites the Constitution in blasting the current surveillance program. Paul has framed the discussion pertinently. Instead of debating whether leaker Edward Snowden is a traitor, Paul has brought up the larger issue of government versus citizen civil liberties. In an interview with CNN journalist Piers Morgan, Paul asked, “What is the penalty for people who deliberately destroy the Con-
stitution and rationalize and say, ‘Oh, we have to do it for security?’” Although Paul feels national security should be a priority, the means to that end is often ambiguous. This path of secretive government surveillance is effective only if it does not completely violate our constitutional rights. Paul also has pointed out that simply using the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) is not a form of oversight. And I validate Paul’s concern. FISA is not an operable line of checks and balances against the executive branch. Vigilant public criticism and questioning not only needs to be addressed with domestic security, it should also be used to deal with foreign affairs. Paul’s non-interventionist slant on Syria should be a rallying cry for all Americans. The last time we entered the fray with sectarian strife, it didn’t turn out so well. Afghanistan and Iraq were (are still) disasters. I acknowledge New York Times columnist Bill Keller’s belief that Iraq and Syria are quite different. But, where Keller and others who support intervention go wrong in depth of analysis. Paul, myself, and others on both sides of the proverbial political aisle understand the deeper reality at hand. The “rebels” are not a uniform opposition. Syria is government against fragmented radical extremist Islamists, a so-called secular opposition, and a violent sectarian front. And there are also proxy forces filing in from Iran and Jordan. In recent interviews, Paul has warned that this intervention in Syria would be both a deadly cost to the United States and a black hole for involvement with Iran. Does Syrian involvement benefit the U.S.? The answer is a resounding no. Although I am repugnant toward Libertarian/Republican/Tea Party platforms, the NSA’s breach of constitutional law and the White House’s War-Hawk spirit in Syria are concerning. Only a few individuals are so willing to speak outside of the box. For now, I’m happy to welcome Paul to our campus. —Schwartz is a junior communications and political science major from Upper Arlington, Ohio. opinion@thedepauw.com

DSG candidates running without a cause emily mccarter
A
girl came up to my friends and me at the Hub during lunch and announced, “I need your signatures.” Without hesitating, my friends start signing their names, already knowing the normal routine of firstyears needing a certain amount of signatures in order to run for a position for DePauw Student Government. I, however, was not so quick to give up my precious John Hancock. I asked her, “What will you do for me if you get elected?” She was stuck. She replied, “I don’t know, I just want to see if I can get elected.” I almost lost it. Who would ever vote for someone who has no idea what student government is about nor could even make something up on the spot about how she will advocate for our rights as students or work to get better lunch meals? We all know that being a politician is about being quick on your feet. Regardless of this girl’s ineptitude to come up with a campaign slogan in order to assure me of her capabilities of a leader and get another precious sig-
nature for her list, should first-years even be allowed to be on student government when they don’t know anything about it? Although this one girl has given me a bad stench associated with first-years running for student government, I still know that it is essential for first-years to be involved in student government in order for the voice of our class to be heard. However, if you’re going to run, you should know why you’re running and what you intend to do if you’re elected. Luckily, I have several friends running for student government, who are more competent than the girl in the Hub. They happily informed me of the process and why they intend to run for a position in student government. To run for Student Senate, you must obtain 100 signatures and write a platform about why you want to run for student government. First-year Perrin Duncan is running for First-year Senator because she “want[s] to be active on campus, have the ability to make a difference in our school and have a voice for our [first-year] class.” Now, that sounds like someone I wouldn’t mind have speaking on my behalf. The Constitution of DePauw University Student Government states, “The mission of DePauw Student Government is to act as the chief advocate for the students of DePauw University, to implement any and all things possible to improve the quality of the DePauw
University experience, and to affect positive change through encouraged involvement and communication with the student body, administration, and the faculty.” President Walker Chance encourages first-year students to get involved in the student government if they have even the slightest interest in bettering the DePauw experience and community. “It is very important for first years to be involved in [student government], specifically in Senate,” Chance said. “As we move forward with solving student issues, either through student-led projects or student legislation, the need for first-year involvement and the opinion that they represent becomes vital for the representation of the student body as a whole.” If you want to run for a position in student government, do your part to become educated on what student government actually does and know what you intend to do for the class of 2017. –McCarter is a freshman from St. Louis, Mo. whose major is still undecided.

T
he social scene at DePauw University can be summed up in two words, “greek life.” First-years, however, are not allowed to participate in this tremendous part of campus life until the middle of October. Some find this to be disappointing and unfair, but I feel as if this actually isn’t a horrible idea. The upperclassmen will all attempt to convince you that you won’t get caught on Greek property, but why take a chance? There are plenty of ways to have fun without getting hammered in a fraternity house on a Thursday night. College is a new experience for all of us, and should be one of the most experiential and enlightening times of our lives. Don’t let anything get in the way of that, including drinking or missing class. I understand that being away from your parents
PHOTOPINION How do you feel about Ron Paul coming to campus? “I think it is a very good opportunity for Depauw students to learn about the world outside of DePauw.”

bart freibert, senior
First-year’s view of the social scene at DePauw for the first time makes some people nervous, some excited and some straight up frightened. For others, they just want to experience all of the things that their parents wouldn’t let them do at home. That’s fine; I get it and want to do some of that stuff too. But you also need to consider the safety of yourself and those around you. Most first-years aren’t used to consuming large amounts of alcohol, so the fraternity houses can be incredibly dangerous. The first few months of our time on campus should be spent getting acquainted with our peers, learning how to behave in a new environment and studying (which I have done a lot of). Drinking should never get in the way of your schoolwork, and it should be specifically reserved for weekends only. Consumption should be kept to a minimum until your body is used to the amounts. Public Safety said to keep blood alcohol content (BAC) below .15, which is still nearly double the legal limit. This may sound like an evil plot to keep our campus sober, but it really not a bad idea if you think about it. You don’t want to get yourself into trouble or
page 9
do something regrettable in your first few months on campus, and with a BAC below .15, that shouldn’t be a problem. You will have over seven semesters to have fun on greek property, so making it through the first few months without it won’t be so bad. All of us first-years will look back on the first few months of our time here at DePauw and remember all the good times we had meeting new friends. Nobody will say, “I wish we had been able to go on greek property sooner,” or “I wish I had partied more as a firstyear.” However, what you very well might say is, “I wish I had met more people,” or “It’s too bad I got in trouble for drinking and was put on probation.” So, to all you first-years out there, have fun, but not too much fun. Respect the rules and stay away from fraternities for just five more weeks. It’s not as far off as it seems. –Mauk is a freshman from St. Louis, Mo. whose major is still undecided. opinion@thedepauw.com

Tigers thrive early in the season Football opens season with a close loss against Sewanee By Nicole Darnall
sports@thedepauw.com
The DePauw women’s volleyball team revved up its season this past weekend with a tournament win at the Charlie Wrublewski Tournament. Their domination in Cincinnati has brought the Tigers to a 5-1 season record, already outperforming last season’s record of this time, when they were 4-2. Speculation continues if they can top last year’s streak of 17 consecutive wins, though. With the past weekend behind them, they definitely seem to be on the right path. Two players, senior Kelly Doyle and sophomore Keely McGrath both represented DePauw on the all-tournament team. McGrath was one of last year’s standout firstyear players on a team that was heavily tilted toward the younger ages. There are still eight sopho“Overall, though, I think everyone has stepped up being leaders this year.” - Keely McGrath, sophomore
more players on a team of 21 people. But the new players just keep on coming. Four new first-year members of the team join them. And they are here to play. “They’re very talented, athletic and truly help the team in all aspects,” McGrath said about the first-years. “They’re very energetic and excited about playing on the team, which has really helped us stay motivated for the upcoming season.” Motivation is surely not a problem for the Tigers of any age. First-year Elisabeth Wilson stood
out at the tourney with three service aces against Thomas More College and five blocks in the win against College of Mount St. Joseph. “The [first-years] are looking good this year with a lot of talent and potential,” first-year Megan Wagner said. “I think we all lift each other up when we’re down.” Lift each other up they did, as the effort did not end with the new class. Sophomore Faith Rowles added on team-best 30 assists and four blocks. Doyle finished with the game against Mount St. Joseph with 15 kills of her own. The team-wide dynamic is extremely evident with the array of players that make these accomplishments. “There is definitely competition [on the team],” Wagner said. “It depends on positions but there are a lot of really good sophomores, junior, and seniors. They’re just a really talented group of upperclassmen.” It seems that as the season continues on, the different ages become more and more in sync, giving way for a stronger team bond. Especially with two players of different ages making the all-tournament team, it really goes to show that the Tigers can not rely solely on their single incoming class, or their strong sophomore class. This season will be a full-team effort. “Being a large sophomore class we realize that we were in their shoes only last year so we’ve kind of taken [the first-years] under our wings, although they’ve done a great job on their own,” McGrath said. “Overall, though, I think everyone has stepped up being leaders this year. I think, honestly, it’s a whole team effort.”

The DePauw Tigers lost 10-7 to Sewanee: University of the South in their season opener on Saturday afternoon. The game marked the beginning of Coach Bill Lynch’s second stint with the DePauw football program. Sophomore quarterback Justin Murray got off to a rough start in the opening quarter. After a 26-yard run by senior running back Armani Cato, Murray threw an interception at the goal line, giving Sewanee position at their own three-yard line. Sewanee, also named the Tigers, scored on the ensuing drive. Murray noted the damage mental mistakes had on the losing result. “We beat ourselves with penalties and turnovers,” Murray said. “As long as we don’t beat ourselves, we are in the position to beat anybody,” Murray said. The Tigers finished the game with three turnovers, two of which were interceptions. Murray’s second interception came late in the fourth quarter, on a second down pass attempt. Murray finished the game with 166 yards passing yards and 35 yards on the ground. Cato and sophomore Amen Galley split running back duties, collectively rushing for 55 yards on 13 attempts. Cato scored the Tigers only touchdown on a three yard run at the top of the fourth quarter. Senior Barry Flynn, the former Tiger basketball standout, ended the game with 90 receiving yards and eight catches. The Tiger defense performed well, giving up 275 total yards. Sewanee running back Andrew Keenan led the team in rushing, averaging nearly 5 yards per rush for the game. One of the Tigers biggest defenses lapses came on a self-inflicted wound. Senior defensive lineman Pat Keller was hit with a 15-yard personal foul in the first quarter, leading to Sewanee’s only
touchdown of the game. Keller finished the season opener with seven tackles. Sophomore Adam Folta, a former West Lafayette High School standout, led the team with eight tackles. Folta, given more playing time due a depleted defensive secondary, was content with the overall performance of the defensive unit. “There’s guys flying to the ball,” Folta said. “It’s just a better team to play for this year. Defense has taken on a mindset of ball hawking.” Folta credits the new coaching staff for the shift in the defensive intensity. “Lynch is really professional. He respects us in a way that’s a lot different than some coaches in the past”, said Folta. Though DePauw is returning five starters on defense, the unit looked nothing like it did in 2012. Last year’s defense gave up 29.5 points per game, ranked 164th in NCAA Division III rankings. Murray noted the change he saw in his defense. “They get to the ball this year. They have a lot of different looks. I was proud of our defense. They gave us a lot of opportunities to score”, Murray admitted. Saturday’s loss was the Tigers’ only non-conference matchup of the 2013 season. After an upcoming bye week, the Tigers play their first game on the newly renovated Blackstock Stadium, when they host Wittenberg on Sept. 21. They suffered an embarrassing 14-52 loss to Wittenberg in the second game of the 2012 season. Wittenberg scored on each of their first five possessions of the game. Wittenberg is coming off a season opening loss to Butler University, in a 49-24 blowout. They surrendered 28 points in the second quarter. Quarterback Reed Florence threw for 298 yards in the loss. Folta and the rest of the Tigers defense head back to the drawing board with two weeks to prepare for Witternberg’s offense.

Tigers still enthused following shaky start to season By Michael Jennings sports@thedepauw.com
The field hockey team competed in two games over the weekend, coming home after two disappointing losses. Despite the losses, however, the team maintains an optimistic attitude and is excited with the high level of competition early in the season. The Tigers’ two matches this weekend are a testament to that optimism and competition. The Tigers opponents, University of Mary Washington and Christopher Newport University, were two of the top ranked teams in the nation. The 11th ranked Tigers are now 1-3 on the season, and two of their losses came in matches that saw the Tigers dominate one or more area of the game. In their 3-0 loss to Christopher Newport, the Tigers outshot the Captains 16-10, as well as holding a
12-8 edge in shots on goal. Additionally, the Tigers played Mary Washington, a team that had won its previous two games by a combined score of 20-1. The Tigers lost 3-1, and hung with Mary Washington in an even matchup. Despite losing the match the Tigers were only outshot by two as well as only conceding two more corners than their opponents. After losing both matches, junior Maggie Campbell said the Tigers do not feel they have not lived up to expectations for the year. “This is a new team,” she said. “We are not the same team we were last year, but we are learning and building every day.” Clearly the lack of positive results does not diminish the team’s confidence. The Tigers appreciate the early opportunities to play top teams. “We knew going in to the weekend that the competition would be at a very high level,” Campbell said. “We’ve never played such competitive
teams so early and these games are great building blocks for the rest of the season.”
“We’ve never played such competitive teams so early and these games are great building blocks for the rest of the season.”
- Maggie Campbell, junior
“Obviously it’s tough because we were 22-2 all of last season and we’ve already lost three games, but we’ve wanted a tougher schedule for years and these games prepare us for the most important games this season: conference games,” Henry said. One aspect of the Tigers’ game that needs improvement is their intensity in the first half. “We have been a second-half team so far this season, and that needs to change,” Henry said. “We’re a new team and we’re learning every day so that should come with experience.” The Tigers look to bounce back this Saturday and Sunday as they take on Kenyon College and Denison University at home.
Junior forward Paige Henry also commented on the Tigers constructively slow start.

Football
Murray and Seaman: a special duo at quarterback By Ryan Konicek sports@thedepauw.com
In 2012, DePauw quarterbacks Drew Seaman, junior, and Justin Murray, sophomore, shared playing time under center. With Bill Lynch as the new head coach, Tiger football fans wonder if the split playing time between both quarterbacks is going to change. Murray started for DePauw on Saturday and played the entire game against Sewanee: University of the South. The game ended in a 10-7 score, a close loss for DePauw.
“We both are talented quarterbacks with different strengths, and so it has been a good battle as we each try to play to our strengths.” - DREW SEAMAN, JUNIOR
“We played [Murray] and [Seaman] back and forth all preseason. They had equal reps in practice,” Lynch said. “The two of them are good quarterbacks, both talented and both competitive.” Competition for a starting position can sometimes be a dicey situation, but it can also be a great way to bring out the best qualities
and performance an athlete has to offer. It can create a friendly competition between teammates, hopefully resulting in what is ultimately best for the team. “It is hard to say how we picked Justin to be the game opener because there is no obvious difference between [Murray] and [Seaman],” Lynch said. “We just felt that going into the opener, [Murray], would be our best option”, he continued. Seaman said he believes the competition makes the team better. “We both are talented quarterbacks with different strengths, and so it has been a good battle as we each try to play to our strengths,” Seaman said. Murray agrees and stated, “[We] are good friends and we both knew getting into this season we would be battling for the starting job.” It seems as though the common goal of success for their team trumps any hard feelings. Lynch has has been trying to fuel competition and excitement for this upcoming football season, and Seaman notices a difference. “He and the coaching staff bring an extensive knowledge of the game that we haven’t had in recent seasons,” Seaman said. “Everyday the coaching staff is filled with positive energy and excitement, and their mood is contagious.”

MEN’S SOCCER
Men’s soccer maintains undefeated record By Jacob Lynn sports@thedepauw.com
The Tigers put their undefeated record on the line against Earlham College at Boswell Field on Saturday. From the beginning, the Tigers were in control of the game. However, it wasn’t until the second half that DePauw was finally able to break through. Early into the second half, Adrian Ables got a pass from George Elliot and put the ball in the back of the net to give the Tigers the lead that they would not relinquish. The Tigers held on to that slim lead until the 84th minute when Mitch Tabler took a cross from Andy Morrison and got it past the keeper to give the Tigers a much needed insurance goal. This would be the last goal of the game, as the men went on to defeat Earlham 2-0. “We were putting a lot of chances on goal and our defense was just really shutting them down,” Ables, senior, said. “We were in complete control of that game from the beginning.” Earlham was never able to get anything going offensively. DePauw goalkeeper Jacob Pezzuto was only called upon to make four saves.Earlham’s goalie, Sam Embry, was challenged quite a bit by DePauw. The Tigers put thirteen shots on net but were only able to get two past Embry. The Tigers returned to Boswell on Sunday afternoon to face off with Rose-Hulman Institue of Technology. This game had a much different feel to it than the game the previous day. Without Elliot in the starting lineup due to an injury suffered in the Earlham game, and Ables coming out early with a shoulder issue, the Tigers needed to rely on their depth to move to 5-0. “Every time we play without George, it could become a really rough situation. The depth with this team this year is absolutely incredible,” senior Matt

Reda said. The Tigers were able to get on the board early, with a goal in the sixth minute. However, DePauw was unable to capitalize on the momentum and the game remained very much up in the air. The aggressive pace of the game caught Ables
“We were in complete control from the beginning.” - Adrian ables, , senior
off guard. “We weren’t expecting the game today to be so physical. They started hitting hard, pulling on shirts, and going to a lot of hard tackles.” The Tigers went into halftime still holding onto their 1-0 advantage. When play resumed in the second half, the physical style continued. “It became a battle of just banging bodies. It really turned into more of a physical match than a finesse match,” Ables said. As the game went on, the tough pace became too much for Rose-Hulman to handle and they tired. About midway through the second half, Julian Gonzalez capitalized on this exhaustion, when he tallied an insurance marker to give DePauw a 2-0 advantage. The Tigers would hold on to that lead and improve to 5-0 on the season for the first time since 2010. The men look to make it six in a row when they head to Hanover College to play the Panthers Wednesday.
