University leases former SAE house, building to become Dorothy Brown house

BY BRYTTNI CARPENTER staff writer news@thedepauw.com

The building that formerly housed DePauw University’s chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, has been leased to the University for the Dorothy Brown House.

The Dorothy Brown House is a cultural resource center for various cultural and minority groups on campus, which is currently located at 314 Hanna Street. According to the Dean of Students, Myrna Hernandez, DePauw is in the planning stages for renovating the structure. The building is currently the center for groups such as United DePauw, Committee for Latino Concerns, Asian American/ Pacific Islander Initiative and more.

SAE headquarters was looking to put a tenant in the house following the

chapter ’s decolonization last semester. According to Brandon E. Weghorst, the Associate Executive Director of Communications of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity, the fraternity’s headquarters reached out to various groups in hopes of finding one to lease the house instead of leaving it empty.

Last year, the DePauw chapter of SAE was disbanded by their headquarters for violations of the fraternity rules, and the members were not permitted to rejoin the fraternity. The former members were allowed to spend the remainder of the academic year in the house, but were forced to move into University housing for this school year.

DePauw reached out to the SAE fraternity nationals when they became interested in the house, “SAE headCONTINUED ON PAGE 2

Providing students with a larger and more central location to meet, the Dorothy Brown House will move its residence into the now unoccupied SAE house.

TurboVote simplifies voting for students MADISON DUDLEY Managing Editor news@thedepauw.com

Only 36.76% of DePauw University students call Indiana home. For the rest of the student body who won’t be able to go home to cast their ballots in November, DePauw has provided a new easy way to not only register to vote, but also cast your ballots, and it’s TurboVote.

TurboVote is an online platform that has partnered with DePauw and other universities across the country to help students, many who are voting for the first time, to help them see if they are already registered, how they can register and help request an absentee ballot.

TurboVote was introduced to DePauw by Assistant Director of Spirituality, Service, and Social Justice, Matt Cummings and Coordinator for Community-Based Learning

and Civic Education, Samantha Sarich. “They [TurboVote] want democracy to be as easy for you as a student living in a temporary home,” Cummings said, “It’s difficult.”

Students can access TurboVote by going to depauw. turbovote.org. The process takes close to five minutes according to Cummings and can be effectively used by anyone regardless of where they are registered or home state. TurboVote will send you absentee ballots for your state or your registration card, with postage free for students.

“It’s so hard to vote,” said Sarich, but Sarich and Cummings think TurboVote makes it easy for students to be able to be a part of the process.

“You can do it on your phone,” Sarich said. In Indiana for instance, residents have until Oct. 11 to register to be able to vote in the presidential election.

In contrast, Illinois residents

can register up to the day of the election.

Sarich and Cummings are passionate about the democratic process and decided to use their positions in the Hartman House to help instill these feelings in students who may be too far away from home and are worried about how they will participate in November.

The University pays a small fee in external funds for the year, and the contract can be continually renewed.

Cummings estimates that if over 200 students signup or use TurboVote, then the program will pay for itself. As of the time of this interview, 80 students have successfully used TurboVote.

“Voting is a great way to be civically engaged,” said Sarich.

“Everybody has the right and the privilege to be able to vote in our country and so we want to encourage students if that’s the way they want to their voices to

be heard.”

This sentiment has been shared by students around campus, some even volunteering their time to the TurboVote cause.

“Voting is important because it’s one of the best ways to voice your opinion, and democracy works best when people vote,” said TurboVote ambassador, senior Amy Brown, “It’s your chance to have a say in the direction of your country.”

There are several TurboVote events that will be happening in the weeks leading up to the election. There will be a “TurboVote party” in the student work space on Thursday between 6-8 p.m. where there will be food, a raffle and T-shirts along with Cummings and Sarich walking students through how to use TurboVote.

There will also be a TurboVote table open during lunch on The Day of Dialogue, Sept. 28.

Hernandez hopes to get student organizations into the former SAE house quickly so the remodel process can begin and the Dorothy Brown House can open to students in a timely manner.

Public Safety adopts use of body cameras

BY SAM CARAVANA Editor-in-chief news@thedepauw.com

If you have a run-in with Public Safety this semester, smile, because you’re on camera.

Starting this summer, all eight of DePauw University’s Public Safety officers will be wearing body cameras that record the majority of the individual’s interactions with the public.

Director of Public Safety, Angie Nally, said equipping officers with the cameras was first considered in the spring of 2015.

“That was when we were really, like, ‘we need to look into this technology and see if it’s something we can work with here at DePauw,’” Nally said.

After researching different styles, the department purchased one camera. This camera was used as a trial so formal procedures and policies around the use of the body cameras could be developed.

Starting this past summer, all

eight Public Safety officers were equipped with body cameras, though they are still being used in a probationary period. The cameras cost about $500-700, but five of the eight cameras were paid for by a grant the department received, according to Nally.

Officers are required to use the cameras in instances such as traffic stops and arrests. Officers can choose not to activate the cameras while performing more of a community action, such as jumpstarting a dead car or helping a student locked out of his or her vehicle.

When officers heard of implementing body cameras, there was some early wariness.

“Initially there was some concern just about not remembering not to turn it on when you’re supposed to turn it on and forgetting to turn it off and it recording moments officers would not want cameras on, like when they’re going to the bathroom,” Nally said.

This first reaction faded once

officers were able to handle the cameras and read the department’s procedure.

Nally believes the cameras have positively affected how the officers and the community interact. “The students feel the officer is going to behave more professionally and more procedurally just, then they would if they weren’t being recorded,” said Nally. “The officers very much feel like the people they’re interacting with when they realize there is a recording of the situation, their behavior deescalates.”

Students have reacted positively to the cameras. “Having more accountability for everybody involved in all situations is just better,” said senior Jake Smith, “Just knowing there is a safeguard in place if police go overboard for whatever reason, or if anything happens, having that extra security makes me feel a little safer.”

Even students who were initially skeptical see it as a step in the right direction. “Typically I’m

not a fan of cameras,” said senior Sam Parker, “When it comes to the police force I think it’s a good idea because all of these atrocities have been happening and nothing has been really getting done, so I think this is a good step towards accountability.”

The state of Indiana has recently delineated procedures regarding body camera footage in House Bill 1019 which was signed by Governor Mike Pence in March. The bill requires law enforcement to save footage for 190 days and delineates the process for releasing the recording to the public.

Some police departments say retaining footage for the 190 days is not financially feasible, and have abandoned the cameras, according to the Indianapolis Star.

DePauw Public Safety has also felt the financial strain of storing the large amount of video, which has put into question the viability of the cameras. “We want to use the cameras, but at the same

time we have to make sure it’s a sustainable program,” said Nally, “There’s just a lot of data you’re saving for a long time.”

Students can request to see the footage they are in by contacting Public Safety. The request should be written and either a hard copy or electronic version should be submitted to the Office of Public Safety.

“All requests will be considered with consultation with University legal counsel and records will be released as directed by law,” said Nally in an email.

The footage can also be viewed by members of DePauw’s Human Resources Department, Community Standards and the Title IX office during select administrative processes, such as evaluating a complaint against an officer.

The use of body cameras will be reevaluated at the end of the academic year.

Independent Review Committee update

BY EMMA MAZUREK & ALEXA KENKINS news@thedepauw.com

Brother Jed arrived on DePauw University’s Campus on September 23, 2015 and sparked controversy throughout the DePauw and Greencastle community.

On public sidewalks, Brother Jed and Campus Ministry USA began “preaching” what the opposition called “hate speech” towards students, and prompted a physical encounter with law enforcement that ended with a male student of color being pinned to the ground and handcuffed by a Greencastle police officer.

The events of Sept. 23 prompted the formation of the Independent Review Committee, which was created under former-

president Brian Casey. The committee was put together to provide an analysis of the incident and recommendations for how the University should react and handle similar situations in the future.

DePauw’s director of Title IX, Renee Madison, and Director of Public Safety, Angela Nally, as well as President McCoy and members of his cabinet have been working since last year to complete all of the recommendations.

“I have been working directly with the appropriate cabinet colleges and with community members,” said McCoy. The first recommendation was the creation of an Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Greencastle Police Department and DePauw’s Public Safety. The MOU is currently

being finished and awaiting approval from both the University and the Greencastle community.

“We’ve always had a really good working relationship, and our officers have had that too, so it’s really not any kind of negotiation or anything like that, it’s more just putting pen to paper,” said Nally. DePauw hopes to have the document approved by the the Greencastle City Council and the City Board of Works by the end of the month.

The second recommendation was the Campus-Community Liaison Committee which was created to be a bridge of discussion between DePauw and Greencastle community members.

The committee is made up of members of the Greencastle community as well as students, staff and faculty from DePauw.

This group has already met and will continue to meet quarterly throughout the year. The main goal of this committee is to maintain conversations and relationships between the Greencastle and DePauw communities The third recommendation has already taken place on campus, with the first-years receiving a session about the Greencastle community on the night of their orientation. Greencastle Mayor, Bill Dory, the City Chief of Police, and the City Fire Chief spoke to first-years on Aug. 20. The discussion welcomed the students to DePauw and Greencastle and served to create a connection between first-years and Greencastle.

“It was so wonderful,” said Nally, “I thought the mayor was wonderfully genuine, and I

think all of the the students felt welcomed by the mayor.”

Later, Public Safety and Greencastle Police officers went around to dorms, introduced themselves, and even participated in crafting events being held on campus that night. “They went to hang out and at least say hello,” said Nally.

The final recommendation was for the University to develop an on-call system in case another situation happened similar to the one on Sept. 23.

In order to prepare the on-call system, Public Safety and the Greencastle Police Department both underwent further training.

“That has given us opportunities to work through scenarios we may not have specifically thought CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

IRC Cont. from pg. 3 of before,” said Nally.

There was additional instruction about how to handle high-stress situations, especially crowd control. Furthermore, there is a group of professors who have also been trained, and are able to react to situations on campus before law enforcement arrives.

The trained professors mediate in situations that may not necessitate police.

In addition to the recommendations made by the IRC, DePauw’s administration is working on creating a policy detailing how they will handle protests across its campus. “It just

helps to delineate expectations,” said Nally, “So if you’re holding a demonstration, what does peaceful demonstrating look like and also how to counter demonstrate in a peaceful way so we don’t have any contentious scenes like we had before.”

The plans for the University involve a number of organizations.

“That’s a moving fluid process, so we have a plan for the entire academic year for managing critical instance,” said Nally.

DePauw is also working on educating students about what protestors can and cannot do on school grounds. “I think a lot of students really did not understand why we couldn’t make people that they felt were being harassing and saying hateful things- why we couldn’t make them leave this private school,” said Nally.

The University as a whole feels Administration members. “Those the IRC recommendations will folks who know [Nally] will feel help in the long run. “Everything that it was probably heavy handed and perhaps that they a bit unfair,” recommended McCoy said, will be useful and “I don’t know if he “It’s about doing will be helpful, the right thing and it’s been a will let us know if for DePauw and very productive he’s coming back. she has certainly process to work We’re not on his stepped up to do on the MOU that.” and it’s always schedule on his The main good to get more Facebook page, concern for training, and but we weren’t much of the staff it’s always good on his schedule is the return of to revisit our Brother Jed. “I critical incident before.” response,” said - Angie Nally don’t know if he will let us know Nally. if he’s coming While the recommendations were accepted back,” said Nally, “We’re not on by the University, the criticism his schedule on his facebook page, of Nally in the document but we weren’t on his schedule was unwarranted, said some before.”

Most students have mixed feelings about the possible return of Brother Jed. “When [Brother Jed] came back for a second time last year, we were prepared and unified. If we include the firstyears in this stance of solidarity, then Brother Jed will not get what he wants,” said junior Rachel Higson, “My only worry is the pain that hateful messages like his imprint upon on our students, that’s something that no amount of preparation will ease.”

Although the recommendations are centered around what already happened at DePauw, many fail to realize Brother Jed protests across Indiana. “This is what he’s done for thirty years, he’s just never been at DePauw,” said Nally, “He’s already on his fall circuit and he could come tomorrow.”

President McCoy addresses bias incident at faculty meeting

BY SAM CARAVANA Editor-in-chief news@thedepauw.com

In the monthly meeting of DePauw University’s faculty on Monday, President Mark McCoy and other administrators answered questions from faculty about the incident involving hate speech that occurred two weekends ago.

After eulogies for professors emeritus Roger Gustavsson and Jim Madison, McCoy addressed the faculty about the recent on campus incident involving hate speech.

“We at DePauw condemn this type of speech and we will do all in our power to eradicate it,” McCoy said. He also noted the incident and the community responses have pushed the administration to alter its communication strategy.

“It has caused us to examine how we communicate information about this to our campus community in a way that respects the victims, in no way glorifies the perpetrators, and lets people know we are aware of it,” McCoy said,

“We are developing new ways to do that.”

After his address, a video created by the Biased Incident Report Team was shown. The video will be displayed to first-years during residence hall meetings Monday and Thursday nights. The video defined a hate crime and a biased incident, noting a biased incident, even though not a crime, can violate DePauw policies.

The video also addressed when biased incidents should be reported to Public Safety who will then alert the Biased Incident Report Team.

Following the video, McCoy and other administrators fielded questions and comments from 13 different faculty members.

After a question from a faculty member about expelling the guilty student, McCoy addressed the likelihood of catching the guilty party. “In an incident like this it’s very difficult and very unlikely we will,” said McCoy. In the same answer, McCoy noted the administration, while it is attempting to catch the

perpetrator, is also putting equal energy into preventing a similar incident from occurring in the future.

Professor of Political Science and Africana Studies, Clarissa Peterson, asked what the punishment for the perpetrator would be if he or she was caught and found guilty in the Community Standards process. In response, McCoy noted that he or she would be subject to a deferred suspension at the minimum, but he or she could also very well face expulsion.

While many faculty members asked questions, Professor of Communications and Theatre, Tim Good made a statement about how students of color felt after the incident. “We need to clarify that the students are not upset.

The students are not troubled.

The students are afraid for their lives,” said Good. “It is much more serious than any of us are vocalizing.”

Vice President of Student Academic Life, Alan Hill, and Vice President of Enrollment Management, Anthony Jones,

also answered questions at various student who may be struggling. times.

Bias incident update

BY MADISON DUDLEY Managing Editor news@thedepauw.com

DePauw University has been rocked by targeted hate speech, and in the week since the news broke, there has been a mix of information from students, faculty and staff about how to move forward.

On Sept. 4 the nametags of students of color living on the second floor of Humbert Hall were ripped off of their doors. One student was targeted specifically, with the words “H8” and the n-word written on her whiteboard.

The first public recognition about the incident from the University came when President Mark McCoy sent an email to the student body at 10:36 a.m. on Sept. 6, two days after it was initially brought to the attention of both the administration and Public Safety.

The email referred to the act as a “bias incident involving graffiti in a residence hall.” Later the same day, Assistant Dean of Students, Jeannette JohnsonLicon, forwarded an email she received from the president of the African American Association of Students (AAAS), junior Shirley Tandy, about a meeting (AAAS) planned in the Student Activities Space to discuss what happened during the weekend.

On Sept. 7, McCoy sent another email to students titled “Dear Campus Community,” in which he included a list of possible suggestions for how to handle the current situation and prevent a similar one from happening.

McCoy also called the incident an act of “racial hate speech” and ended the email with an anecdote about his conversations with his family about race.

Dean of Students, Myrna Hernandez, also sent out a series of emails about plans for action, including a Campus Climate Team and their events leading up to the Day of Dialogue on Sept.

28, along with an update on the investigation about what the

University has done to find the student or students supposedly responsible. As of now, no person has been held responsible.

This response was thought by some students to be unsatisfactory.

A meeting of student leaders was organized for last Saturday in the Student Activities Space. The meeting was restricted to only students, faculty and staff were not allowed, and refreshments were provided by the Hartman House.

“It’s not graffiti, it’s a hate crime,” said junior Greisy Genao to a group of close to 30 students Saturday morning.

The meeting was organized by junior Kenneth Cruz. “I felt like nobody was planning a meeting quite along the lines of taking action,” said Cruz. The meeting discussed ways the student body could come together to make a statement to others in the DePauw community.

Ideas that were tossed around included bringing back the #DearDePauw hashtag.

The hashtag was popular last

school year as a way for students to vent their frustrations and tell stories about their treatment at DePauw, working to incorporate DePauw’s Greek life, contacting family members to write letters to the administration, and planning demonstrations for the weekend of Sept. 24 and beyond.

This is not the first time there have been racial tensions on DePauw’s campus in recent years.

In spring of 2014, then junior Ashton Johnson wrote an opinion for The DePauw titled “Excuse me, but your privilege is in our way” in which she asked members of the DePauw community to recognize their privilege. Johnson’s article was met with backlash that caused tension and conversations around campus. Johnson went on to win the Walker Cup and was featured in the Huffington Post.

Spring of 2015 brought the first DePauw Day of Dialogue which created campus controversy as it was first a required event, and then made not required, but heavily encouraged by the administration.

PG. 5 | September 14, 2016 In fall of 2015 Brother Jed, a radical evangelical Christian visited DePauw’s campus to “preach,” resulting in a student protest and eventually an African American male student being wrestled to the ground by Greencastle police.

The incident in Humbert Hall is only the latest in a long list of campus tensions.

In 2014, the multicultural feminist club, Feminista! proposed a list of demands to then President Brian Casey and his administration. Some of these demands included diversity training for faculty members and the creation of a multicultural credit, now known as the Power, Privilege and Diversity credit.

A 2016 list of solutions was released by DePauw Student Government members Vice President of Community Relations, Sarah Fears, and Vice President of Student Life, Diamond McDonald, on Monday afternoon.

The public document, which has been shared on Facebook, calls for adding a policy to “define racial misconduct and racial harassment ” and setting aside more resources to address incidents of harassment

in the classroom. The document also called for transparency between the Administration and the DePauw community, incorporating lessons on diversity and inclusion into first-year orientation, and other forms of diversity training for students and faculty.

“I believe that those proposed solutions are realistic solutions that can be accomplished in a short time frame but can change the course of depauw’s campus climate,” said Student Government President, senior Claire Halffield who attended Saturday’s meeting, “I personally support it, but have not spoken about it with student government yet.”

After Saturday’s meeting, there was a collective sense of accomplishment among those who had attended. “A sense of solidarity, we have plans, we have interest, and I think we all have the heart for it,” said senior Paris Murry, “Knowing we have allies and knowing we have a common goal.”

In the end, some students think for real change to happen, the University needs to be fully on board. “It’s up to DePauw,” said Genao.

Tiger Takeout takes campus by storm

BY MADISON ALLEN staff writer features@thedepauw.com

While most DePauw University students must balance homework, a social life, and extracurriculars, junior Andrew Bailey and seniors Kevin Keene and Ian Good have added something else to their workload: managing a business.

Keene, Bailey and Good started Tiger Takeout, an online-based, late-night food delivery service offering food from Buffalo Wild Wings, Taco Bell and McDonald’s.

The idea of Tiger Takeout is an adaptation from deliveryservice websites like GrubHub. However, nothing like it exists in Greencastle, so these three students teamed up to fill the void.

“We not only saw an opportunity in this area, but we saw a need,”

said Good.

For the most part, the three entrepreneurs were self-reliant, figuring out logistics and finances by themselves. They also met with DePauw’s Vice President for Finance, Brad Kelsheimer, who gave the trio some tips and encouragement. “[Kelsheimer] ended the conversation by telling us that if we do it right, we are sitting on a goldmine,” Good said.

Tiger Takeout’s website, ordertigertakeout.com, launched the first weekend of school on Aug. 27 and the business has already gained regular customers.

Bailey says they can generally expect 10 to 15 orders on a typical night. This was planned in order to ensure a smooth start. In the next few weeks, the three hope Tiger Takeout will gain more attention on campus and orders will increase.

“We provide an option for those students that do not have cars and others who may be tempted to drive when they shouldn’t,” said Good.

Keene, Good and Bailey believe Tiger Takeout is beneficial for DePauw students and everyone should take advantage of their business.

“We are a convenient way to get food for a very low and reasonable price at the times of the night that just aren’t convenient for most people,” said Good.

Junior Amanda Nunley is

a frequent customer of Tiger Takeout. “I love Tiger Takeout because I am a huge chicken nuggets fan.

Sometimes late at night, I just need my chicken nuggets, and Tiger Takeout always comes in clutch,” she said.

Tiger Takeout’s social media - Ian Good platforms serve as one of the most successful ways people are hearing about the business.

Updates about their hours, links to the website, and occasional free giveaways can all be found on the business’s Twitter and Instagram

“We provide an option for those students that do not have cars and others who may be tempted to drive when they shouldn’t.”

pages. The business can be found on twitter under the handle “@ dpuTigerTakeout” and Instagram at “@tigertakeoutdpu.”

“It’s slowly spreading across campus, and that’s really what’s exciting,” said Bailey.

As the business grows, DePauw students can potentially look forward to Tiger Takeout making trips to Plainfield on Sundays.

“People will submit their orders, let’s say for Chipotle, by around 11:30 on Sundays and we will go pick up whatever was ordered, and have it back later that afternoon” said Bailey.

Good believes starting the business has shown him what is great about DePauw. “We saw an opportunity,” said Good. “We had all the freedom in the world to run with it and make it a reality.”

From Local Natives to Bon Iver to Nite Jewel, the music department at WGRE continues to discover new tracks from wellseasoned artists who got their start as early as 2007. Among those musicians are singer Angel Olsen and band BadBadNotGood, who take the two principal spots in WGRE’s Top 15 list this week.

On Sept. 2, folk and indie rock singer Angel Olsen released her third full-length album “My Woman,” a ten-track guttural gathering of introspective infatuation, loneliness, and heartache. From song to song, the 29-year-old singer transforms her style in a realistic way—from 50s jukebox to synth-pop to 90s basement grunge—to tell a story of falling in love, heartbreaking emptiness, and an eventual realization of autonomy and independence.

Passionate tracks like “Never Be Mine,” “Shut Up Kiss Me,” and “Sister” portray this distinctive, shifting range of musical and vocal styles that Angel Olsen intelligently demonstrates.

Canadian jazz hip-hop band BadBadNotGood released their fourth studio album, “IV” in July.

Featured on the instrumental group’s album is the smooth yet

hard-hitting voice of rapper Mick Jenkins (“Hyssop of Love”), the sultry vocals of singer Charlotte Day Wilson (“In Your Eyes”) and bluesy lyrics of Future Islands singer Sam Herring (“Time Moves Slow”), lucid tenor jingles from saxophonist Colin Stetson (“Confessions Pt II), and contributions from musician Kaytranada.

Each track on the imaginative “IV” seems to clench an immensely unique identity, but, when listening to the album cover to cover, the songs seem to flow down the same rhythmic stream.

To hear new songs from Angel Olsen and BadBadNotGood, tune into 91.5 WGRE in your car, on your smartphone or on your computer at wgre.org.

Preparation minimizes mistakes If I failed an exam and made the excuse “I make mistakes, I’m human,” my professor would call me out. That is what we at The DePauw are doing to President McCoy. Why is the president of DePauw University using it as a copout for his recent shortfalls in reacting to racist incidents?

Since the incident occurred, on multiple occasions, President McCoy has admitted he made mistakes, attributing them to his humanity.

Mark McCoy has been president since July. He has had time to prepare for his new position. In fact, McCoy began to settle into his new job before he was even handed the reins from former President Casey. McCoy has been a member of the DePauw faculty and an administrator on this campus since 2011.

We at The DePauw are upset that the student body was not formally told about the incident for two days, or that the faculty wasn’t even informed until the president of AAAS decided to reach out. Also we are baffled as to why it took this incident for the Administration to reevaluate its communication strategy and look into a secondary alert system.

McCoy- you have had months to prepare. The Casey administration did not leave you with nothing to work with. You have been on this campus during times of racial tension, so why weren’t you prepared?

You had the chance to see what the former administration did well, or not, you had the chance to look at other schools that have had incidents and learn from their mistakes.

However, in the days following the incident, you have shown that either you did not pay close enough attention to DePauw’s previous experiences, or you incorrectly believed that hate speech wouldn’t return to campus.

Despite this time you had to prepare and bolster DePauw’s policies, it appears that little was done to prepare for such an incident, leaving many students feeling failed.

We understand that mistakes happen, but we also recognize that mistakes are minimized by preparation.

We request that in the future you acknowledge an incident of this caliber with the swift response that it deserves, while also being transparent to faculty, staff, and students so as to quelch wild rumors.

While we may criticize your failure to take full accountability, we applaud your support of the victim. When we spoke to the victim, she admitted that the Administration had done much to support her in a difficult time.

We understand that mistakes happen, we just ask that you are forthcoming about why they occurred. In the case of the hate speech, mistakes were made not because you are a human, mistakes were made because you were unprepared.

Letter to the Editor

Belonging requires green dots At last month’s convocation, VPAA (Vice President of Academic Affairs) Anne Harris insisted on the centrality of belonging to the liberal arts. We the undersigned fully support this value. As she reminded us, ours is a “a living and learning campus.”

It is for this reason that calculated use of violence to invalidate the presence of some, to make them feel that they do not and will never belong, cannot be brushed aside or reduced to an isolated incident.

Many faculty, staff, and students understand that the pattern of drawing lines of belonging around some and not all is well-established at DePauw and in our society at large. Two weekends ago in Humbert Hall, “H8 Nigger” was written on a white board and the name tags of students of color were torn. Such racial hatred has left members of our community afraid to leave dorm rooms, burdened their minds with fears for their personal safety, and broken their faith in the community at large. DePauw has deprived them of the basic conditions needed for belonging and learning on a liberal arts campus.

As we mentioned in our open letter last year, we see a possible

way forward through the example of the Green Dot campaign against interpersonal harm. The ethical questions when violence – a “red dot” – erupts are not limited to the actions of the perpetrator or the wellbeing of the victim, but extend to all of us: that is, the bystanders who observe or hear about these incidents. How are we using our everyday choices, actions, and personal examples to vigorously interject “green dots” that assert that belonging is a right that extends to all at DePauw? Where are our acts of solidarity to show those most affected by the violence but also all others who feel they could be the next target that DePauw stands with them? As the Green Dot campaign states, “No one needs to do everything, but each of us has to do something.” Only our daily choices and actions will show that hate and exclusion are no longer DePauw values.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I want to publicly apologize to members of DePauw’s marginalized communities for my willingness to too often stay on the sidelines when events affecting these communities occur. When I hear about these events I am truly concerned (“that’s really too bad, I hope she’s OK”) and angry (“what kind of a-hole would do that?”), but then I too often rationalize ways in which it isn’t my problem: the time was wrong (“I’m on campus from 7:00am to 6:00pm Monday-Friday, and that happened over the weekend”), or the location was wrong (“I work in academic buildings, and that happened in a dorm”), or the wheelhouse was wrong (“I know

a lot about computer science, but that is a racial incident”), yada, yada, f-ing yada.

It’s taken far too long, but I am now beginning to appreciate the fact that when incidents happen to anyone in our community, it is my problem and I have a responsibility to work to address it. And I want to remind/encourage groups to which I identify that these problems are ours. So, fellow faculty: these are our problems; fellow white folks: these are our problems; fellow men: these are our problems; fellow straight folks: these are our problems; fellow scientists: these are our problems; fellow Christians: these are our problems; fellow Greencastle residents: these are our problems; fellow parents:

these are our problems; fellow middle-age balding men: these are our problems; fellow people: these are our problems.

These are our community’s problems, and as members of this community we must work together to support community members directly affected by these incidents and then find ways to collectively solve these problems. Sitting on the sidelines must not be a viable option.

Letter to the Editor Dear DePauw Community, The members of DePauw Hillel’s executive board would like to express their deepest sorrow to the many members of our community who have been hurt, directly and indirectly, by the recent hate speech targeted at members of our campus community. Racism is not a topic this organization takes lightly and is unacceptable in our eyes. The ongoing fight against hatred and bigotry is deeply imbedded in the Jewish values that our organization holds dear.

We stand alongside anyone on this campus who is attacked, insulted, or in any way oppressed for who

they are.

As a student organization founded on religious values, we are open and accepting of anybody who needs a friend. Nobody on this campus should ever feel alone; we are among many groups and individuals on this campus with our arms outstretched to those in need. Our hope is to work with others to turn DePauw into the community it ought to be, making sure that all feel safe and welcome here.

Sincerely, The DePauw Hillel Executive Board

DePauw - Where’s the Letterhead?

Kevin Killeen

This sad story all starts in Math class a few days back. It’s about 9:30 AM. Now I’m not one to walk out of class when I get a phone call, heck, I’m not even the kind of guy that gets calls in the middle of class. But I’m in the middle of class the other day, and my phone starts ringing. It’s my Uncle Mike.

Now before I tell you about my Uncle Mike, let me tell you about

the rest of my family. My dad has seven siblings, and my mom eight. A good amount of them go off and get married and what not, so when you do the math I have at least 20 or so aunts and uncles and a whole lot of cousins between the two sides.

But out of all these nice relatives who tell me ‘Merry Christmas’ at holiday parties, the only one to have ever visited me in college was my Uncle Mike.

It was a great visit. We were all playing flip cup in the frat house and everyone was calling him Uncle Mike. The next day we went to the bookstore and he bought me

a nice sweater that said DePauw.

Then he left. I don’t know where that sweater is anymore.

But that’s what my Uncle Mike is calling about, that bookstore.

Well, first we do some chit chatting.

If I call someone about business, I try and talk business first, then chit chat second. But he buttered me up with some chit chat and I enjoyed it, and then he says, “Hey Kevin, I want you to go to that bookstore and buy some nice DePauw letterhead and write that summer boss of yours a nice thank you note.”

“That’s a good idea,” I tell him.

ADVERTISEMENT

“I’ll do it.”

My Uncle Mike is an architect.

He got me a job as a surveyor this summer with one of his business associates who is a civil engineer.

It was a good gig and I got pretty tan.

So I go to the bookstore to pick up some letterhead. They don’t have any.

I go to the post office and ask the lady at the counter if she has any letterhead. She doesn’t know what letterhead is.

“You know, like some nice thick paper to write a good letter on,” I tell her.

“You mean scrap paper?” She

pulls out a pile of pink paper with some girly designs on it.

“Have a nice day,” I tell her.

Then I go to Walgreens, and then Kroger, then Walmart. All these places had great big Hallmark sections with cards for every occasion: your baby gets baptized, you love someone, your kid takes out the trash, you name it.

But I couldn’t find one blank card to write my boss a letter on. So I go home and write him a thank you on some loose leaf paper. Loose leaf. I might as well have used a crayon.

If your jeans aren’t rolled you are doing life wrong Zach Taylor Lately, I have noticed a lot more people wearing pants around town. The leaves are coming down and so is the temperature.

But, there is something that needs to be addressed regarding this evolving fashion trend. People, you need to roll your pant legs.

Nothing is worse than when you wear out the legs of your favorite pair of pants simply because you refuse to take the few minutes every morning to cuff those bad

boys. Without rolling them, the material rubs against the ground every time you step. In a matter of hours, your jeans will be fraying, and you will be dragging white strings behind your legs as you walk down the street. How embarrassing. I, for one, definitely do not want to be the guy with the frayed jeans. That is why I always roll my pants. It not only makes a fashion statement, looks clean, and is far more comfortable, but it saves me from ruining all of my pants.

I am sure you all have noticed that it has been raining a lot lately.

If you haven’t, then you might want to step outside every once in awhile. But, if you do, you better

flood those jeans beforehand. By the way, flooding is a synonym for rolled jeans. Why? Because when it rains it pours, and when it pours it floods. So, you want to make sure your pant legs are high enough so that they don’t drag through flood water. No one likes wet denim. Doing this before you leave your home saves you the time and the stress of doing it while Mother Nature pours down rain on you. Also, if you do it before you leave your house you will be ready to run through those rain drops, jump puddles, and make it to your home before any part of you gets wet.

Fashion is something that I take very seriously. I am always

looking for a timeless fashion trend. I wasn’t sure how I felt about rolled jeans as being timeless until I saw the movie Back to the Future. Marty McFly is always rocking the cuffed jeans. If he can travel time wearing rolled pants, then who am I to say the style isn’t timeless. After all, I for one have never seen someone riding a hoverboard without cuffed pants.

It just makes sense.

So, whether you are going for a bike ride, walking outside after it rains, time traveling with your crazy old scientist friend, or headed to the Cheesecake Factory for a disappointing meal, please take a minute to cuff those pants.

You won’t regret it, I promise.

Party in the back Kaleb VanArsdale Even though I have written three opinion pieces thus far, it recently came to my attention that I have yet to share my voice in regards to any pertinent issues. That is why I would like to use this week’s opinion piece to fish something near and dear to me out of my brain bucket.

So many of DePauw’s gentlemen conform to one or two so called “trendy” hairstyles.

Could this conformity correlate to DePauw’s diminishing status as a top party school?

Let me take a minute to discuss an artist by the name of Macklemore. Some have heard his songs, though you

might not be able to name any, and many more people recognize him because of the hairdo he sports atop his scalp. Oh boy, that hairdo.

You know the one with multiple inches of feathery or curly hair perched on the crown of the head. The hair on the crown connects via a fade or hard-part to the shaved sides and the shaved back of the head. No other haircut offers a wildly untamable bedhead quite like this Macklemore hairdo. And while you can save it with a glob of hair gel or cover it up with a hat, I have no doubt that by the year 2052, humans will look back on this atrocious hairstyle and think less of it than Johnny Bravo’s quaffed hairdo. We all know how well it worked out for the Johnny Bravo hairdo fad.

Another foreseeable fad

on the fringe of burning out, if it hasn’t already, is the man-bun. This style follows a similar trend to that of the Macklemore, but shaving the sides and back of the head are not necessary. The only requirement for the man-bun is to tie the hair into a tight bun that sits between the center and the back of the scalp. Now, I understand the utility of tying the hair up for a rip on a fixed-gear bicycle or a yoga session, but there is no need to wear a bun just to conform with the hipsters.

Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against wearing your long hair down - I live with hippies and might even be one myself.

In the 1960s hippies were on the cutting edge of society and still today sit at the forefront. However, it was not until nearly a decade later, in the 70s,

that the most versatile hairstyle in the universe appeared atop a man’s head. Pioneered by music legends Paul McCartney and David Bowie, this hairstyle continues to transcend time.

For McCartney, it was the “Wings of Pegasus.” Bowie’s mane was so unique that he had to take on a whole new identity, Ziggy Stardust, to properly rock the hairdo.

The legendary hairdo is most well known as the mullet.

The mullet is the epitome of work and play - business in the front and party in the back. Here at DePauw, many of us follow the saying work hard and play harder. And in my professional mullet bearing opinion, the mullet is the one answer to return DePauw to the top ten - no - the top spot of TFM and other legitimate p​ arty school ranking lists.

Men’s tennis hosts DePauw Invitational

BY KEENAN KADAM Staff writer sports@thedepauw.com

DePauw University’s men’s tennis team hosted the DePauw Invitational over the weekend.

In addition to the host, the University of Indianapolis (UIndy), Saint Joseph’s College, and William Woods University were the teams in attendance.

“This year’s competition was by far the best in my four years here,” said senior Pat Farrell. Singles play was split into A, B, C, and D brackets while doubles play had only three brackets.

The singles A bracket featured seniors Dan Rodefeld and Farrell.

Farrell lost a very close opening match 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 and his second match 6-3, 0-6, 1-0 (104). However, Farrell would end his day with a win defeating Llya Kalabuukhau of Saint Joseph’s 7-5, 6-1 in the seventh place match. Rodefeld found success early advancing to the semifinals with a win over Kalabuukhau 6-3, 6-4. In the semifinal match,

Rodefeld would taste defeat losing to Nils Hoffacker of UIndy 6-4, 6-4. Despite the defeat, Rodefeld went on to win the third place match agains Johnnie Carmichael of William Woods.

The high volume of matches was a physically grueling for players.“The invitational is definitely a physical test, 3 singles matches and 2 doubles pro sets in a day will put your body to the test,” said Farrell, “I think our team is in great shape all around and getting through the day so well gives us confidence going forward.”

The B bracket saw sophomore Matt Quammen and senior Matt Santen in action. Despite losing his opening match of play, Quammen would go on to win fifth place, defeating David Barbieri of William Woods 6-3, 6-2. Santen fought his way to the third place match where he won by default.

The C bracket featured senior Nate Wallace, and sophomores Greg Frauenheim and Petar Barcot. Both Frauenheim and Wallace would advance to the

semifinals where they would end up facing each other. Frauenheim defeated Wallace 6-3, 6-2.

Frauenheim would go on to win the C bracket when his opponent retired after the first set.

In the D bracket senior John Daseke and sophomores Alex Pintilie, Alex Bertolini, and Andrew Fox all picked up wins.

In doubles A play, Rodefeld and Farrell would lose their semifinal match 8-2 and only took home third place after defeating Nicolas Palacios and Vicente Herrera 8-4.

In B play, seniors Harold Martin and Wallace would take 2nd place after losing 8-1 in the finals. C play saw a another Tiger vs. Tiger final. Daseke and Barcot beat Santen and Quammen 8-5.

“The invitational is a grind and really helps us prepare for regional,” Daseke said, “We will be the most fit team there this year.”

The Tigers have a matcha at Marian University on Sept. 20 and then begin their ITA Regional Championships at Kalamazoo College Sept. 24.

Some of DePauw’s players are looking forward to the regional championships. “It will give us a chance to see where we stand compared to other teams in the

region,” said Wallace, The Tigers will then take a break for the rest of fall and winter and restart play in February for the spring season.

Field hockey splits weekend matches

BY MIKE WETOSKA Sports writer sports@thedepauw.com

The DePauw University Tigers hit the road for Danville, Kentucky to play in two games this weekend. The Tigers went 1-1 on the weekend when the team defeated Centre College in a 3-2 overtime thriller on Saturday, but fell short to Christopher Newport University in a 2-1 loss on Sunday.

“I think that we did really well this weekend,” junior forward Paige Berliner said, “We had two really tough opponents, one of them (Christopher-Newport) was ranked 14th in the nation.

We showed that we can compete against some better teams this weekend.”

The Tigers moved on to their second game of the weekend looking to defeat Christopher Newport, the 14th-ranked team in the nation.

The Captains opened up the scoring in this game first at the 14-minute mark, and that goal would carry them through the first half.

Although trailing at the start of the second half, the Tigers made sure to take advantage of their opportunities. Those opportunities led sophomore forward Corina Bourantas to find the back of the net at the 43 minute mark to tie the game at one.

The game carried on for the next 20 minutes without a goal, but just as it looked like the game would be heading to overtime, the Tigers gave up a late goal with just four minutes remaining to

give the lead back to the Captains.

DePauw was unable to answer back in those final minutes, and dropped the game with a score of 2-1.

“We were really happy with ourselves and how we played,” said Berliner. “Obviously the outcome wasn’t how we wanted it to be, but I think that we were all just really excited that we got to keep up with such a highly ranked team.”

The Tigers are moving into their conference games, and will look to establish North Coast Athletic Conference dominance when they travel to the College of Wooster on Saturday. The game will be played at 11 a.m., and there will be a live stream of the game available on the DePauw Athletics website.

Men’s soccer remains unbeaten after weekend, tie Marian, defeat Case Western

BY KEENAN KADAM Staff writer sports@thedepauw.com

The DePauw University’s men’s soccer team got their weekend started in the rain with a 2-2 draw vs. Marian University on Friday night.

The back and forth game wouldn’t see its first goal until the middle of the second half with a beautifully taken penalty kick from senior forward, Julian Gonzalez.

The Tigers were missing one of their leading goal scorers, senior forward Zach Hoffman.

Hoffman was unable to play due to a red card in a double overtime tie against Kalamazoo College on Sept. 3.

The Tigers were able to hold the lead until the 85 minute mark when a Marian forward was able to take advantage of a deflection off senior goalkeeper Harrison

Glover to even the score.

Tigers dominate Rose-Hulman, 5-0

BY KEENAN KADAM Staff writer sports@thedepauw.com

The DePauw University’s women’s soccer team handily defeated the visiting RoseHulman Institute of Technology Engineers, 5-0 Saturday. The win keeps the Tigers undefeated and advances them to a record of 4-0.

The Tigers put numbers on the board early, scoring their first goal within the first 15 minutes of the opening half. The goal was scored off a free kick just outside of the box by first year midfielder Alex Berkley. This was Berkley’s second goal of the season.

It would take the Tigers until the 39 minute mark before the lead was doubled by sophomore forward Bailey Ehrens who scored off an assist from senior

forward Elizabeth Sewer. It was the first goal of Ehrens collegiate career.

“Scoring my first official collegiate goal was awesome. I was happy that I could increase the lead for our team, and my parents were in the stands, so it was fun to see how excited they got when I scored,” said Ehrens about the milestone.

DePauw would go into halftime with a 2-0 lead.

The Tigers would add to the lead four minutes after the break with a goal from first-year forward Shaili Kumar. This was Kumar’s fourth goal in as many games.

“Shaili has been doing incredible, and it’s so fun to watch her play. We had some trouble finishing last season, so having someone to score goals the way she does is definitely going to help our team,” said Ehrens.

The Tigers added two more goals within five minutes of each other late in the second half. Junior forward Kathryn Ruark easily beat her defender, putting the ball in the back of the net for her third of the season. Not long after, sophomore forward Paige Renfus also scored her first collegiate goal from an assist by sophomore defender Mallory Dillion.

“Being out last season due to an injury made that moment even more exciting because it was something I’ve been waiting for,” said Renfus. “I think our team chemistry and our determination to reach our common goals inspires us to do our best during each practice and game. There is so much talent and mental tenacity on the team which shows during our games.”

The women hope to maintain their undefeated season tonight

Tigers crush Mount St. Joseph 44-23 in season opener at Blackstock Stadium

Senior Running-Back Jason Kirchhoff helped the Tiger’s get the win against Mount St. Joseph with 102 rushing yards and a touchdown. SON LE / THE DEPAUW

BY MIKE WETOSKA Sports writer sports@thedepauw.com

DePauw University’s football team opened up their season on the right foot, muscling Mount St. Joseph College in a 44-23 victory Saturday. The Tigers are looking to improve upon their 8-2 record last year.

Senior kicker, Marko Adams, put the first points on the board for the Tigers this year, drilling a 45-yard field goal on DePauw’s opening possession. From there, the points kept piling on. In the first quarter alone, the Tigers put up 17 points with 14 of those points coming through the air as

senior quarterback Matt Hunt launched touchdown passes on consecutive drives to senior running backs Ian Good and Jason Kirchhoff.

The Tigers had put up 20 unanswered points before the Lions were able to respond with a touchdown in the second quarter. Although they had gotten on the board, they were unable to capitalize on any other opportunities during the quarter.

DePauw’s pace slowed in the second quarter, but a two-yard touchdown run from Kirchhoff allowed the Tigers to end the half with a comfortable 27-6 lead.

DePauw’s offense was not the only side of the ball putting up points on Saturday. Sophomore

defensive back, Brooks Hepp was able to convert an interception into six points less than a minute into the third quarter, increasing DePauw’s lead to 28 points.

With four minutes in the quarter, the Lions were able to respond with a touchdown. Before the quarter ended, Hunt found junior wide receiver Ben Wilson in the end-zone to cap off a 91-yard drive.

Adams effectively put the nail in the coffin early in the fourth quarter when he nailed a field goal from 43 yards, to which the Lions would never answer back. When the clock ran out, the Tigers had blown out their opponents by a score of 44-13.

The Tigers’ time of possession

was almost five minutes less than their opponent, yet they were able to put up 200 more yards.

Hunt finished the game 31-46 and passed for 327 yards and three touchdowns. Kirchhoff finished the game with 102 yards on the ground and put up both a rushing and receiving touchdown.

Sophomore wide receiver Andy Hunt led the team in receiving with 131 yards on 12 catches, but was never able to find the endzone on Saturday.

The Tigers’ defense was led by senior defensive back Zachary Reichle, who led the team with nine total tackles. He was followed by Hepp and sophomore linebacker Matt Crupi, who both had eight tackles respectively.

“As the season progresses, I believe we’ll only get better. Now that the season opener is under our belts and we’re back in a routine, I think that this team has the ability to have a breakout season,” Kirchhoff said. “We’re going to take each week one game at a time, with the ultimate goal being to win the NCAC championship.”

The Tigers will look to continue their winning streak when they travel to Wooster College Saturday to play the Fighting Scots. Kickoff is at 1 p.m. and there will be a live stream via the DePauw Athletics website.
