Tornadoes ravage Midwest, student hometowns
Indiana’s Oldest College Newspaper
VOL. 162, ISSUE 22

By NICOLE DECRISCIO news@thedepauw.com
As violent storms and tornadoes left their mark on the Midwest on Sunday, students with family residing in these areas could do nothing but wait for news regarding the condition of their communities. Senior Shelby Beasley is from Greentown, Ind., a small town just outside of Kokomo, Ind. “Greentown has one stoplight,” Beasley said. Her family goes to Kokomo for most of what it needs. Kokomo was one of several cities with significant damage in the Midwest. “The winds were so strong that windows blew out of [the JC Penney’s,] and it turned cars over in the parking lot,” Beasley said. Beasley said that she has seen photos of the damage and statuses asking for volunteers to help clean up debris. “While my home didn’t have damage, there were quite a few people that I knew from the area that I lived in who had damage to their homes,” Beasley said. Beasley received a phone call from her father earlier in the day warning her that there were tornadoes possibly heading towards Greencastle. She went to church that evening and didn’t find out the extent of the damage until later. “When I got home [and went on Facebook], I was seeing statuses and pictures of things that had been destroyed and I got really worried,” Beasley said. Beasley noted that Facebook was her go-to source in finding out how friends and family were doing. Junior Jake Weeks, who is also from Kokomo, said he felt fortunate that his home was not damaged in the storm. Week said his favorite donut shop, Dan’s Donuts, did not fair as well. The shop, which is affectionately called Dirty Dan’s by the locals, was one spot completely destroyed in the storms. Both Weeks and Beasley said they struggled most being away from family. “I thought it was more stressful being here,” Weeks said. “I just couldn’t do anything regardless of if I found out something was destroyed.” This was the first major storm that Beasely had to rely on technological communication with her family rather than being with them when they were going through it.

After running out of student Monon shirts last year, the DePauw Student Government pulled out all the stops for this year’s game. “We ordered 2,500 shirts this year,” said Student Body President Walker Chance. “We had four opportunities for students to pick them up for free, and we still have about 400 left over.” After students had been given the opportunity to get a free shirt, Student Government decided to sell them in order to raise money for the “Stand United: Annual Fundraising Competition” with Wabash College. “We sold shirts to alumni, faculty, staff, and members of the community who came out to the game. Total sales from the shirts reached over $2,000,” Chance said. This added into funds raised through “Dine on the Square” and other philanthropic events, bringing DePauw’s total to over $4,000 raised for the Putnam

The Gamma Iota chapter of Delta Gamma sorority became the 20th chapter nationwide to endow the Delta Gamma Lectureships in Values and Ethics on Oct. 12 after raising $50,000 and receiving a challenge grant matching the amount.

houses and such before,” said Bohmer, “but this is the first time I’ve seen a more concerted effort by the Student Government towards the United Way.” The $4,000 raised by Student Government was the most raised to date by DePauw students for the local United Way. Plans are for that number to grow in the coming years, as organizers pinpoint what works and what doesn’t. “It helps to have an item to sell, particularly a practical item like a long-sleeve shirt in November,” said Bohmer, “and we thought the shirts this year had a pretty cool design.” The extra Monon shirts will continue to be sold to alumni and faculty until Feb. 7, when DePauw will have its “blackout” basketball game. Both the women’s and the men’s team will face Allegheny College at home on that date. “Unlike other fundraisers, only 1.5 percent of the United Way’s funds go back to the central organization.” said Bohmer. “It allows so much more to be done right here in Putnam County.”

United Way raises funds for the Red Cross, Mental Health America, the Youth Development Commission, amongst others. “The more money raised, the more we can allocate directly into our partners and our own projects,” Edwards said. “We work diligently to meet the human services needs of our residents and we are so humbled to be able to support them.” There has been a long-standing relationship between United Way and DePauw.

said senior Sarah House, president of Delta Gamma, about the upcoming speaker. A committee of alumni, collegians and members of the Prindle Institute of Ethics is in the process of selecting the speaker and should be done by March. To honor his 50th wedding anniversary to Dorothy Martin, Paul Martin founded the Delta Gamma Lectureships in Values and Ethics. The inaugural lectureship was held at the couple’s alma mater, the University of Akron. The Dorothy Garrett Martin Challenge began with $50,000 grants to help bring the lectureship to campuses across the country. The challenge grants have continued to be made possible through the support of alumnae
and collegians. Delta Gamma raised the original $50,000 through fundraising and donations. Their yearly events such as Delta Jamma and portion of fundraising from Anchor Splash went towards funding the lectureship. “We have really super dedicated alumni who are absolutely willing to throw themselves 100 percent into reaching goals for our fraternity as a whole,“ said junior Delta Gamma Cassandra Gherardini. The lectureship will not only benefit the members of Delta Gamma, but it is a way for the fraternity to engage the community by inviting speakers to address topics of values and ethics, members said.
“It is an awesome achievement for a small liberal arts school, and I think that it will benefit every single person on campus and the Greencastle community as well,” senior Melissa Cobb added. Chapters across the country have brought the likes of Colin Powell, Jeff Probst and Giuliana Rancic to their respective campuses with the help of the Delta Gamma Lectureship. “I’m really excited for the university,” House said. “Although DePauw brings in great speakers, it’s really exciting to have a campus organization giving back to the community.”

New fitness center to be completed by August 2014 By JULIE BLOCK news@thedepauw.com
As the fall sports season comes to a close, the gym has filled up with more students looking to satisfy their exercise fix, and many are becoming frustrated with the inconvenience that the construction is causing them. While the construction of Lilly Physical Education and Recreation Center is right on schedule, the bulk of the work will not be completed until August 2014. The construction, once finished, will include a 36,000 square-foot expansion, including a two-level, 16,000 square-foot fitness center, according to design project manager David Doell. Doell adds that the current fitness center, along with additional rooms that will be added on during the construction, will be used as rooms for fitness classes such as spin, yoga and Pilates, as well as new kinesiology classrooms and offices. The fitness center, he said, is going to be the biggest and most exciting change to the building. “It just about triples the size of the fitness center. […] We’re separating the cardio-type equipment from the weight-lifting equipment,” Doell said. “I think there are a lot of people who don’t really want to go [to Lilly] because it’s just so crowded, so this will give us a lot more room. It will give
us new machines, new equipment, and it will be a lot more of a pleasant experience.” Director of Athletics Stevie Baker-Watson said that, while the ongoing construction may create some frustration, the renovations were necessary. “We take great care of our stuff, but after 30 years it’s hard to maintain the equipment based upon our use,” Baker-Watson said. “We’ve done our best to try to give people as much notice as to when things are going to be closed or altered.” First-year Akil Davis is one of many who have become frustrated by the constricted space in the Lilly Center due to the construction. “At certain times of the day you may want to go to the gym, but it may be majorly packed, and the machine that you might want to use is not open,” Davis said. “I hope there will be new machines available [in the new fitness center] so that more people can go there and work out and it wont seem as congested with the amount of people there.” Baker-Watson understands students’ frustration, but hopes that they can realize that, in the end, this project will be well worth the wait. “It’s hard when you’re tying to live and work in an active construction zone,” she said. “But our staff has accepted that because we realize what is going to happen on the other end… it is going to make a huge improvement for the student experience on our campus.”
Baker-Watson adds that the addition of a 10,000 square-foot lobby will make the Lilly Center a more welcoming place where students can hang out and have fun. “[The Lilly Center] is very active with students, but they come and they go. Having a new lobby in this building will allow students to come and sit and hang out and that I think will bring a new energy to our building,” she said. Those involved in the construction of the Lilly Fitness Center are excited to see the outcome, and
they hope that students are just as excited as they are. In the meantime, they appreciate the student body tolerating the trouble that the construction inevitably brings with it, and hope that they will continue to stay patient. “We just really appreciate everybody’s patience, because we really are transforming the campus,” Doell said. “It’s a slow process, it doesn’t happen overnight, but I really think everybody’s going to enjoy the improvements a lot.”

Presentation on Islam explains similarities, differences between religions By EMILY MCCARTER news@thedepauw.com
The Center for Spiritual Life hosted religious studies Professor Jeff Kenney on Tuesday night in a presentation on the role of Jesus Christ in the Islamic religion and the Islamic religious text, the Qur’an. Kenney said he tries to remain a neutral party and present the facts from an academic perspective, avoiding the bias that sometimes accompanies the description of religions. “I enjoyed that it was from the academic perspective and seeing how he related the different religions together and showing how there is an influence from different religions [in Islam],” said first
-year Allison Schultz. Kenney’s presentation consisted of a PowerPoint with direct quotes taken from the Qur’an, with information about Jesus. He then explained the historical background of the incidents in the Qur’an and related them to the same incidents in other religious texts such as the Hebrew Torah and Christian Bible. “I think it was smart by taking the quotes [from the Qur’an]… and then showing the context behind the quotes,” Schultz said. Students and visitors of many faiths came to the presentation to learn more about the role Jesus has in Islam. The Muslim Student Association was also a co-sponsor for the event.

Kenney stressed that many people do not realize that there are many similarities between Judaism, Christianity and Islam. He stated that, in fact, these religions stem from the same stories from God. However, the religions then take different directions. “The thing that intrigued me most when I first started to study [Islam] was the fact that it is both very familiar in ways but yet also different,” Kenney said. “If you read the Qur’an you’re going to come across so much that should resonate, if you know your Hebrew bible or New Testament…It’s not as foreign as one might think.” The main difference between Christians’ and Muslims’ view of Jesus is that Christians believe Je-

sus was the son of God while Muslims believe Jesus was just a prophet like Muhammad. This was new information to some of the 20 attendees, including first year Kainat Akmal. “I went to a Catholic high school, and when I was in class, I didn’t know the similarities between Jesus and Islam,” Akmal said. Akmal, the Muslim representative for the Interfaith Intern program, plans to have Keeney speak at an upcoming literacy event she is working on. “I wanted to learn more about this because I asked myself so many questions in Catholic school,” Akmal said. “I wanted to learn about other religions because I think we’re all the same in the end.”

BAUSTIN WITH YOUR SOUND ALTERNATIVE
BRIAN AUSTIN
A
fter another week of listening to countless albums by bands we’ve never heard, WGRE noticed another trend beyond a rehash of disco and rock: 1960’s psychedelic rock. This week WGRE will send Diane Coffee to your ears. Diane Coffee is the brainchild of music mastermind Shaun Fleming. Fleming was an actor before breaking into music, voice acting for productions such as “Kim Possible,” “The Lion King” and “Lilo and Stitch.” Now, Fleming is the drummer for indie-rock group Foxygen and lead for his solo project entitled Diane Coffee. Diane Coffee released their debut album “My Friend Fish” on Oct. 29. After listening to greats like The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and Bill Withers, Fleming recorded this album in a matter of two weeks. Each song pays tribute to these groups from the 1960s. The opening track, “Hymn,” begins with an eerie organ that is joined by slow ballad style percussion and a distant vocal presence. It tells of love and hope. Next comes “Never Lonely,” a groovy bass line next to upbeat drums marks an obvious single off the album.

The Apples in Stereo and Neutral Milk Hotel are considered descendants of the 1960s. Psychedelic rock has been popular since it was conceived in the mid-1960s. And although we may not be in the middle of a psycherevival, we do find ourselves in a resurgence of 1960s influenced psychedelic indie rock. Check out Diane Coffee on WGRE or own your own. You will not regret it. And always keep on listening to WGRE on 91.5 FM to listen to the newest indie rock. -- Austin is a junior English writing major from Terrace Park, Ohio. features@thedepauw.com

Sunday did not provide that same comfort for her though. “I thought, ‘What if something’s happening right now? I’ll have no way of knowing about it until hours after its already taken place,” she said. Weeks agreed.

Shaun Fleming solo project ‘Diane Coffee’ debuts on WGRE By the third song, we are nearly brought to tears by “Tale of a Dead Dog,” where Fleming describes seeing a dead dog on the side of the road in true 60s psychedelic fashion. Harmonies woven over pleasant finger pickings of the guitar make this song a must-listen. Towards the latter half of the album, there is a break where tracks such as “All the Young Girls” and “When It’s Known” slow the album down from an upbeat rock group to a mellow groove rock sound. But then, before we know it, Diane Coffee picks it up with “Eat Your Love (With Sriracha).” The final song “Green”, sings about beautiful love complimented by bells, tambourines, and, of course, a chill bass line. Its style dates back to The Beatles and their “Magical Mystery Tour.” Diane Coffee hit it big with this complete debut album. Earlier this week, WGRE Music Director Colin Neill, a senior, came to me with Diane Coffee’s debut, telling me it was one of his favorite finds of the school year. “This job is so rewarding,” Neill said. “I love finding new music at WGRE, especially when it is this good.” Neill loves coming into the WGRE offices and blaring whatever album he can get his hands on, looking for that next big thing. In the past year, there have been several bands releasing music that fit this genre. There is a 1960s psychedelic revival sweeping through indie rock. Bands like Tame Impala, DIIV, Guards and the Black Angels all fit this description. Even Fleming’s previous band, Foxygen plays into the genre. But is it a revival? This facet of rock music has been done before, all paying homage to the genius behind the Yardbirds and the Byrds. Brian Jonestown Massacre and A Band of Bees each played the same style rock in the early 2000s. Other bands such as Camera Obscura,

“The unknown just really puts that stress on you,” he said. Sophomore Alex Moss has a cousin that lives in Peoria, Ill., which is close to Washington, Ill., another city that was also devastated after Sunday’s storms. Their house was one of the few left standing in their neighborhood. “I think they had some damage, but it was not nearly comparable to the extensive damage to the rest of the community,” Moss said. Moss faced the same uncertainty as Beasley and Weeks. “I think it’s hard because you’re not in direct contact with people who are in the know,” Moss said. Beasley added that she thought that the fact that several businesses shut down and sent workers home ended up saving lives. “Thankfully nobody [in Kokomo] was actually killed during this tornado,” Beasley said, “but they said it was the worst tornado that Kokomo has seen in 50 years.” With the storm occurring just before Thanksgiving, Weeks thinks it will have to power to unite the community. “The degree of camaraderie and the overall thankfulness people have will definitely be increased during the holidays,” Weeks said. Weeks added that he has already had a lot of support from some unexpected people, “It’s great to see how many people do care.”

trayal, but also in logistics. Finding dresses and high heels to clothe the men wasn't easy, as their sizes and proportions are often different from the average woman. The stagehands had the tough job of designing and altering clothes for the men. Anthony also instructed the men to make minor changes in their manly appearance to be truly in character. "One of the actors is going to have to shave [his] legs 15 minutes before the show," Anthony said. The casts not only tries to stay true to the way women interact in the 1930s, but they also show the time period accurately with set design and props. The actresses will smoke cigarettes, play cards and take tea to bring the audience back in time with them. Many DePauw students have gotten involved with the production beyond the actors. The production features live music from the era played by Jacob Peterman, Ben Ramos, Will Johnson and Dan Hickey. The band will play their jazzy beats during the pre-show, alongside numerous DePauw vocalists and during scene changes. “The Women” has offered students the chance experiment with their abilities in the theatre. This production forces the actors to think critically about their roles in the play, as first-year Cate Hensley learned. The woman she plays is of a lower social class, and with that she believes she has more freedom. "I get to get a little angry and a little pissed off,” said Hensley. “The hardest part is knowing how far the line is and where I'm going to cross it." The strong camaraderie with the cast didn't make the divide any easier, Hensley added. "One of the biggest obstacles throughout the play was remembering I'm not as high class as they are."

THE DEPAUW | Editorial Board
US drone use anything but ethical thus far
Dana Ferguson | Editor-in-Chief Sunny Strader | Managing Editor Becca Stanek | Managing Editor Kelly Killpack | Chief Copy Editor
CONNER GORDON
Skipping classes has a cost — literally Imagine being required to slap a $100-dollar bill on your professor’s desk every time you showed up to listen to his or her lecture or participate in the discussion. While this notion may seem unreasonable or ridiculous, The DePauw Editorial board took the liberty of calculating how much each class session at our school costs the results we found were humbling. According to DePauw’s website, our college’s annual tuition is $40,150 (this amount does not include housing, meals, health fee, housing programming fee or books). Whether a student is here on a scholarship or not, $40,150 is coming from someone’s pocket somewhere for a student to be here. Cut that amount in half, and you end up with tuition for each semester - $20,075. Divide that amount by the number of classes students are required to take (4), and you’ll find that each class costs $5,018.75 each per semester. Divide that number by the number of weeks in the semester (roughly 15), and you’ll find that each one-credit class costs $334.58 per week. Therefore, if your class meets three times a week, each session costs you (or parent/ private donor paying for you to be here) $111.52. If your class meets twice a week, each class costs $167.29. Additionally, students who decide to take three classes instead of four do not receive a reduced tuition rate. In the case of the three-class student, a class that meets three times a week costs $148.70 per session, a class that meets twice costs $223.05 per session. We urge our fellow students to remember that the money has already been spent on these classes. Each time a student decides to sleep in, that money was spent in the exchange for nothing - C-notes are uselessly wasted. Every time a professor cancels class - Benjamin Franklins unfairly disappear from someone’s wallet never to be refunded. While we sometimes get caught up in our extra-curricular activities or partying, it is important to remember that our primary purpose here is to be students. We’ve made a commitment to higher education, and we’re paying to get something out of it.

esterday afternoon I attended a forum with Martin Luther King III where students had the chance to ask the activist questions. During the conversations, I realized how little I think about my possible contribution to society, beyond a job. So often DePauw chases us with how to get an internship, make connections, and make the most of the summer that we get caught up in the money making part of the future. It’s easy to forget there’s more to life after college than jobs or graduate school. Getting to hear Martin Luther King III made me think about what young adults can do beyond the career world. The chance to hear a man dedicated to making change in the country and the world lets us consider about the possibility of making positive changes ourselves. The speakers that come to campus tell us about more than just their personal lives and ideologies. Most of
the speakers tell us how to live successful and fulfilling lives, and what life is like outside of the work world. People like King and Jane Goodall have such stories to tell, and the lessons college students can gain from their knowledge are incredibly valuable. At the forum, someone asked about methods that could be used for change. King’s answer focused on peacefully enacting change and how the technology of today could be such a call for action. He continued to press how important working together is to make positive change, calling on communities to knit together and create a stable base before moving forward. King proved that there are ideas out there to be used, and things that can be done. Recognizing the problem and then educating people about it are important first steps, but acting and negotiating for solutions are what create visible, positive differences. While King focused a lot on notso-visible areas that need change, including the need to educate on class and race in America, once we leave DePauw and “enter” the world, problems in America will sometimes hit us in the face. If we’re prepared with the tools necessary to do something about
those issues, then it is indeed possible for young adults to make change. While we come to college to take classes, study and perfect our writing, speaking and analytical skills, we also come for those life skills DePauw’s always stressing – those “out of classroom” experiences. We can learn so much from people who have been there and who have done incredible things in the world, whether they’re King or an alumnus or an alumna with a successful story to share. The advice people like King give us makes what we learn in classroom settings worthwhile. DePauw’s speakers give students motivation to make use of what is learned in class and apply it towards whatever goals they may have for the future. And when those goals help solve major problems, then our college education has been fully put to good use. —– Sausser is a sophomore English Writing major from Indianapolis, Ind. opinion@thedepauw.com
ime and time again, there is one military strategy that has proven itself in its sheer destructiveness: shoot first, ask questions later. Whether seen in the trenches of the Western Front or rural villages of Vietnam, it has been shown throughout history that simply trying to kill the other side without considering a larger strategy produces some of the most horrific consequences of war. And yet, even after its own traumatic experiences with shooting first and asking questions later in Vietnam, the United States has failed to give up this reckless strategy. Instead of the humid jungles of Southeast Asia, however, we have taken our fight to the arid highlands of Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. And the means of this attrition do not come from the rifle of a soldier on the ground, but from the wing-mounted missile of an unmanned drone flying thousands of feet overhead. It is these drone strikes, which
the Obama administration and the military have tried to paint as precise and legal, that help perpetuate some of the greatest abuses of our military power in recent years. Unless we take more care in their use, our drone policy will only add to a growing list of problems that jeopardize human rights and foreign policy alike. In some limited cases, drone strikes certainly constitute a legal means of warfare. However, in a number of cases their use is marred by a deplorable track record of civilian casualties. Between 400-900 civilians have been killed in drone strikes since the program began, according to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism. Among them are community leaders, grandparents and even children-- all innocent bystanders that pose no threat to the United States. All of them were killed by a weapon system lauded as precise and legal. But the abuses of the drone program are not simply limited to unintentional civilian casualties. In some cases, our drone policies have targeted militants and civilians alike, all for the sake of attaining higher body counts. Often, in the moments following a drone strike, a number of first re-
sponders rush to the scene to assist the wounded. The last thing these responders expect is to become a target. Yet this is exactly what happens when, several minutes after the first strike, a second missile is fired to kill anyone drawn to the scene. This technique, dubbed the “double tap” method, is a key aspect of the CIA’s drone program. For years the technique, which makes no distinction between militants and civilians, was allowed to continue without public oversight. And, in all likelihood, it continues today. Evidence suggests that, despite a brief hiatus caused by public outrage, the CIA has continued to use this technique, targeting people simply due to their urge to help the wounded and dying. Even civilians not directly targeted by drones suffer from their negative effects. Constantly terrorized by the sound of aircraft buzzing overhead, entire communities are forced to live with the fear that their homes could be the next one targeted by a missile. The results of such fears are profound. Children are kept home from school, community leaders avoid holding meetings and people avoid congregating in public, all out of fear that they will be the next ones
in the drone’s crosshairs. Though our administration may be comfortable to wage its detached war of attrition and ignore the consequences, we won’t be alone forever. Drone technology is becoming increasingly accessible, and in a matter of years it will likely be found in the arsenals of many major militaries. It is these nations that will be looking to international precedent to determine how drones can be used in the future. As of now, the precedent we have created is anything but ethical. Our government must look to the future and understand the longterm implications that the drone program has created. If we continue to practice drone warfare haphazardly, with little regard for civilian life or international law, we can only assume that other nations will eventually follow our example. In order to prevent such a future, we must reform our drone practices to adhere to the ethical and legal standards of combat. Otherwise, when the dust of our wartime fervor settles, we may be faced with even more questions than when we began. –Gordon is sophomore intern at the Prindle Institue for Ethics from Carmel, Ind. opinion@thedepauw.com

Paying college athletes: Is it worth it? SAM WINKLER
O
ver the years, there have been numerous reports of wealth boosters paying kids to come to their alma mater so that their athletic programs will shine. While this has put the chokehold on many athletic programs for their distant future, it begs the question: should the NCAA pay its athletes? Many big time sports programs, such as University of Alabama football, or Indiana University basketball, greatly benefit from a revenue standpoint if their prestigious athletic program’s successes. The kids in these programs commit hours of sweat and exhaustion into their teams, only to see their academics suffer, retire due to injuries, or cause other personal issues. They fill the stands, only to risk their bodies and youth for a scholarship. For this reason, some people
believe that NCAA athletes should be paid. While there is no doubt that these athletes provide a recruitment plus as well as entertainment to their school, they are students first. The term student-athlete would be far less meaningful if they were getting paid on the side. For many college athletes, the sport they excel at is not their future. It is a means for them to get an education that they might not otherwise have been able to have. Another factor in this conversation is that while there are the revenue-gaining programs previously mentioned, there are also teams and sports that are not bringing back as much money as the big time Division I programs in football and basketball. Giving out salaries would cut revenues, and even potentially put some sports out of money all together. While it is not feasible for NCAA athletes to be paid under a free market system, potentially creating a system in which athletes can be given a stipend or be subsidized for their athletics is a much more viable possibility. That said, obviously the bigger, Division I schools would probably be given a greater allowance or stipend due to greater time commitments and also for providing more money for the school. The system
could be such that each division could each have certain tiers at which they are to provide stipends. This mechanism to provide extra spending money to college athletes, while still promoting academic achievement would ultimately be a more effective solution than either paying them in a free market or not at all. College athletics at any level are demanding (just ask the DePauw women’s basketball team), and that should be taken into account. A stipend would help those athletes who needed extra money, but would not have the time to excel in academics with a part-time job on the side. If each division had a ceiling at which they could give a stipend, no one school would be able to promote themselves over others for that reason. It could also hopefully detract boosters from illegally giving out money to athletes and damaging the reputations of both the colleges and athletes alike. While providing a stipend is a slippery slope, it is the best option For us students at DePauw, it might even be a reason to keep the sports dream alive. –Winkler is a senior economics major from Lake Forest, Ill.

Men’s and Women’s basketball hope for hoops By JACOB LYNN sports@thedepauw.com
After relatively long layoffs, DePauw’s Men’s and Women’s basketball teams will be back in action this weekend. The women head to Kentucky for the Centre College Classic where they’ll take on Milikin University and the host squad, Centre College. The men will take on Oberlin College in their home opener. The men will look to improve to 3-0 on the season and avenge last year’s difficult home loss to the Yeomen. Last February, the Tigers suffered a two-point loss to Oberlin in a home game. With 49 seconds left, Barry Flynn tied the game at 49. However, half a minute later, a Randy Ollie field goal handed DePauw a difficult 51-49 loss. The painful defeat is the reason DePauw is not overlooking the 0-2 Yeomen. Before going into the
matchup last season, Oberlin had a poor record of 5-17. “This is sort of a trap game for us,” said junior center, Tommy Fernitz. “We’ve been known to not take them as serious as we should have like in last year’s game.” The home opener will be a welcome event for the Tigers, as they have played well at DePauw in recent history. Last season they went 9-4 when playing at home and averaged over 67 points per game. When on the road last season, the Tigers were only 7-6 and averaged less than 65 points per game. The Tigers will try to feed off of some of the energy from last year’s Women’s National Championship. “We see them working hard and to be honest, we want that kind of success for ourselves,” said Fernitz. “It has definitely motivated us.” As for the women, they will take on Milikin this Friday and then battle Centre the following day.
DePauw has history with both of these teams. In 2011 the Tigers defeated Milikin 64-41 at home. In 2010, the eighth ranked Tigers were upset 65-59 by the Big Blue. The Tigers’ only meeting with the Colonels in recent history occurred in January of the 20102011 season. After a tight first half, DePauw flexed its muscles in the second frame and knocked off Centre by a score of 77-57. It hasn’t mattered who the Tigers have played over the last year, however. DePauw comes in on an incredible 36 game winning streak and as the defending National Champions. After a solid 80-46 win over Otterbein University in the season opener, DePauw was given a scare by Franklin College in their second game. The Tigers trailed by seven at halftime to the Grizzlies, but eventually came back, winning 65-54. “There really wasn’t any concern at halftime,” said freshman Alexa Gaumer. “The seniors just kept telling us that eventually our shots would
Basketball seniors to build on historic season By RYAN KONICEK sports@thedepauw.com
The DePauw women’s basketball season has begun, and with two wins under their belt, the lady Tigers are working harder than ever to earn back their championship title. The seniors are willing to get their team there. The seniors on the team, Alex Gasaway, Ali Ross, Erin McGinnis, Alison Stephens, and Ann Sarkisian, have high expectations for their last season here at DePauw. It seems as though the expectations for this season would be pretty high after having had a perfect 34-0 record last season. However, Stephens said otherwise. “We try not to have expectations, but instead goals so they are something we can work towards and earn rather than thinking than thinking we are entitled to them,” she said. “As seniors we want everyone, including ourselves, to come to practice every day with the mindset that in order to be great we need to outwork every other team in the nation every single day.” McGinnis agrees. “We will have to work just as hard as we did last year to achieve the same success.” Ross attributes their focus to head coach Kris Huffman. “Coach Huffman is amazing when it comes to making us focus on a new season,” she said. “We can’t let last year’s success make us blind to how much work it takes to be a national champion.” The team lost three senior leaders last year, Ellie Pearson, Kate Walker, and Kat Malloy. The seniors this year are looking to keeping alive the
attitude of the ones who have graduated. Gasaway reflected on what they have taught us. “Lead by example. Hold each other accountable,” Gasaway said. “If we can make practice more challenging than games we have given ourselves a shot at success.” Sweeping Otterbein University 80-46 in the season opener and then turning it on second half against Franklin College for a final score of 65-54, putting the team at 2-0 thus far. The team seems to be handling the pressure of last year’s undefeated record. “Coach has reminded us multiple times that the season after a national championship is always the hardest,” McGinnis said. “Everyone is playing the national champions when they play us, and we are going to get every team’s best game.” The Women’s Basketball Team is certainly going to be the team to watch. They have been ranked No. 1 in the pre-season polls and are working hard as a team everyday to keep that number one position. Stephens realizes the unique situation they are in going without a loss for so long. “If we end up losing a game or two, it’s not the end of the world,” she said. “It’s how we get up from that loss that matters and will reflect how strong this team is.” The basketball team is new this year. For every team, every season is new, with new teammates and playing teams who have lost and gained people as well. Ross said she is impressed with the first-years and rising sophomores. “We have a lot of talent back from last year,” Ross said. “We definitely could win another National Championship.”
start to fall.” This season, Coach Huffman has brought in six freshmen to fill holes left by graduating seniors. These girls are poised to play an instrumental role in the Tigers’ season. Already, forward Taylor Howard has seen big minutes on the floor. The freshman played 19 minutes and recorded four points and four rebounds to go along with two steals in the win against Otterbein. The experience of the upperclassmen has made a large impact on the freshmen’s ability to get acclimated to college athletics. “Not many freshman get the opportunity to play with girls like this,” said Gaumer about her upperclassmen teammates. “We talk to them as much as possible and hearing how their hard work paid off really helps us buy into the system.” The action for the women tips off at 5 p.m. on Friday, as the Tigers open up their weekend against Milikin.

SWIMMING AND DIVING
Tigers net three consecutive victories By JIM EASTERHOUSE sports@thedepauw.com
Winning has become habitual for the DePauw men’s swimming and diving team. Three consecutive victories have come handily, with multiple spots on the squad shining. During that span, the team has routed their opponents by an average of nearly 75 points. Although the Tigers are hoping to keep up their victorious spell, they intend to dice things up a bit. The Tigers travel to Crawfordsville for the Patrick Woehnker Invitational this weekend for the last in-season meet. Afterwards, they’ll begin tapering, slowly but surely as they decrease yardage, to get

ready for the Dec. 5-7 showing at Kenyon College. Coach Adam Cohen believes that this is a great time to keep things in perspective. Coaches will now look more analytically at each swimmer. Essentially, athletes are fighting for their starting spots. “This weekend will be a great checkpoint to make sure we are ready for the Kenyon invite,” senior Jack Burgeson said. “The team has trained harder up until this point than any other year that I have been at DePauw.” In order to test their progression, the Tigers will take on competition from all three NCAA division levels, including the University of Indianapolis, who
is ranked eighth in Division II. DePauw aims to ensure that they are well suited and in doing so, will highlight their relays. The program has had a rich history of nationally ranked relays. This season seems to be no different, as many relays have remained on par. At the last meet against Wabash College, two DePauw relays took first. Sophomore Blake Lehmann, junior Casey Hooker and seniors Burgeson and Matt Haeske won the 200 medley relay in 1:34:31. The 400 free relay of junior Alex Alfonso, Hooker, Burgeson and Lehmann won in 3:10:97. The women’s squad is coming up after a week off of competition. This invite offers an opportunity for the bunch to get back in action as they also prepare for Kenyon. Their last bit of competition dates back to Nov. 8, when the Tigers ousted Wittenberg University by 48 points. For some, this serves as the first full collegiate invite, which gives more leverage for coaches to delegate spots more liberally. This may directly impact the first-years itching for a variation. “I’m excited to mix it up because I traditionally only swim sprint freestyle,” first-year Elly Gleason said. “The team is in good spirits and is very excited.” The Tigers are hoping that both their recent succeses and obvious confidence continues on through their tapering. In this instance, while yardage goes down, intensity still may pick back up. This is executed through modified workouts with a focus on regulating results. However, this is only a portion of the training schedule looming over the rest of the season. After this stretch, the team will make way to Florida in December to pick back up training intensity across the board. Until then, the Tigers are taking training one meet at a time. “I think we will be able to fine-tune our races to perfect them before the big meet,” Burgeson said. “I am confident that our hard work will pay off and we will have some great tapered times.”

BASKETBALL
hometown: NOBLESVILLE, IND. This past weekend, the Tigers men’s basketball team got off to a perfect start for their season. The real story for the Tigers came less than 24 hours later, when they defeated No. 6 North Central College, 77-64. In the game, senior Mike Wilkison, a Cincinnati native, dropped in 24 points for the contest. The 5-foot-10-inch guard also had a career high eight rebounds for the game. He was awarded the Most Valuable Player of the Chicago Marriott Naperville Tip-Off Tournament.
TDPS: What is your proudest moment as a Tiger to date? MW: Beating Wabash at home my freshman year. Everyone played their own role and came together as a team to win, when we were the underdog. TDPS: If there were one professional basketball player you’d liken yourself to, who would it be? MW: Jason Williams. He has a more advanced version of my skill set. He can score, but he likes to get his team mate involved. He was also a point guard that was always in control of the game. He’s who I aspired to be growing up TDPS: Coach Bill Fenlon coached Brad Stevens in his time here. What do you think about his legacy as a Tiger? MW: I respect that Stevens took care of his business in the classroom, as well as the mental process that goes
with understanding the game. He has mastered the ability to win games. TDPS: Being your senior year, do you feel any added pressure this season? MW: I like pressure, I like proving people wrong. There are doubts about me as a player, in high school I had a lot more than I do now. I use it as fuel to motivate me and perform better TDPS: You had a breakout performance against No. 6 ranked North Central. What led to your success? MW: I did get the MVP, but it wasn’t just me out there. My teammates were the ones who got me shots, and I did the same. We happened to be in a rhythm that we carried until the end of the game that eventually led us to a win

Field hockey ends season on bittersweet note By MICHAEL JENNINGS sports@thedepauw.com
Senior Chelsea Cutler keeps the ball away from Kenyon during the game on Saturday, Nov. 9. The game ended with the Tiger’s winning 2 - 1 and with a spot in the NCAA Division 3 Championship. CLARISSA ZINGRAF / THE DEPAUW
With the field hockey season officially at a close, many players have received North Coast Athletic Conference regional and conference awards. Award winners include seniors Chelsea Cutler and Taylor Helms, juniors Paige Henry, Maggie Campbell and Kylie Mahoney, and sophomore Grace Goodbarn. Senior midfielder Chelsea Cutler impressed all season, often dominating the middle of the field. Cutler orchestrated the Tigers attack, and also got involved in scoring, oftentimes providing eleven goals as well as eleven assists, with one hat trick under her belt. Not only did Cutler provide the second most offense on the team, behind junior forward Paige Henry, she also proved to be an anchor point on defense. These contributions did not go unnoticed, as Cutler won the 2013 NFHCA Division III Great Lakes Region Player of the Year. “Being named Great Lakes Region Player of the Year is an exciting accomplishment for me,” said Cutler. “It’s a nice way to finish my DePauw career.” Cutler was not the only Tiger to receive postseason honors. Henry and Goodbarn joined Cutler on the first all-region team. Henry was the focal point of the Tigers’ attack this season, providing 20 goals and an overall point total of 43 this sea-
son. Goodbarn dominated the middle of the field alongside her midfield partner, Cutler. Goodbarn provided fifteen points. This entire season, Henry has been as prolific a goal scorer. She boasts 20 goals in 22 games this season, earning her top goal scoring honors in the NCAC. Henry proved very skilled on the ball, beating defenders with her stick work on many of her goals. Despite her outstanding scoring record however, Henry attributes her success and the team’s success to her teammates, especially the seniors. “Our seniors, Micheline (Figel), Maddie (Lee), Chelsea (Cutler), Taylor (Helms) and Sydney (Sprawls), have been great leaders and have contributed so much to the success of the team. They will be greatly missed next year,” said Henry. Helms, Campbell, and Maloney represented the Tigers with second team all region honors. Maloney and Helms anchored the eighth-ranked Division III defense this season, and Campbell provided the second most goals for the Tigers with a total of 12. The Tigers ended their season on a bit of a sour note with a second round exit from the NCAA tournament. Despite their early exit, the Tigers had a very successful season winning their second straight NCAC regular season and tournament titles. The Tigers look to improve next season, with the ultimate goal of the NCAA title.
