Students have ability to opt out of birthday book at local stores BY SAM CARAVANA Editor in Chief news@thedepauw.com
Each time DePauw University senior Lis Hawkins buys alcohol at a liquor store in Greencastle, the cashier asks for an ID and pulls out a bound paper book with no cover. “Almost every time, the birthday book gets pulled out,” Hawkins said. Known as the birthday book, the packet contains the full name of almost every DePauw student as well as the month and year of their birth. Though the book has virtually every student in it, students have the opportunity to opt out. In 1974, the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) was passed by the U.S. Congress. The law
set out guidelines on when educational institutions could release their students personal information. Though FERPA dictates that institutions cannot release personal information without consent, an exception is made for “directory information.” This is defined as “information contained in an education record of a student that would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed.” This includes a student’s name, birthdate, birthplace, email address and other basic information. “Each college is obligated to notify students at least once at the start of each school year as to what constitutes “directory information,” because colleges have some discretion to decide what belongs on that list,” wrote executive direc-

DePauw students must submit this request to the registrar’s office by Aug. 1 of each year they want their information withheld according to the academic handbook. Though students have the choice, few know that it is available. “I didn’t know that was an option,” said sophomore Chase Wright.

Senior Meghan Burke would also let the University disclose her directory information. “Personally, I wouldn’t take the time to write a letter to the University and opt out of that,” Burke said. “Maybe, if I was an important person.” Alcohol vendors, who use the birthday book to combat underage drinking, would also be more likely to sell to underage students and thus more susceptible to citations from state agencies. Citations include fines and can eventually result in the business losing its liquor license. Since its inception and implementation in the mid 1990s, the birthday book has evolved. This year, following a white paper from student government citing privacy concerns, the book only features a student’s month and year of birth excluding the exact day. This was included in previous editions. The 2016-2017 birthday book has already been published and distributed, but students who want to opt-out in the future can contact the registrar’s office.
President McCoy to be inaugurated as 20th president on Saturday BY VANESSA BALIS Staff Writer news@thedepauw.com
On Saturday, Oct. 29 at 10:30 a.m., Mark McCoy will officially be inaugurated as DePauw University’s 20th president. At the event, attendees will not only hear about how McCoy hopes to impact DePauw’s campus during his term, but will learn more about the history of the University. Before becoming University president, McCoy played an active role in revitalizing DePauw programs. As Dean of the School of Music, McCoy worked with campus initiatives such as the 21st Century Musician Initiative and the Silk Road Global
Musician Workshop, along with actively raising money for both the School of Music and the University as a whole. Since McCoy is not a new member of the DePauw faculty, his inauguration ceremony will be different than that of past presidents. Instead of focusing on welcoming McCoy to campus, the ceremony will instead serves as a “great opportunity to celebrate DePauw…[since] moments such as this in a college tells us where we are as a school,” McCoy said. By gathering not only current DePauw faculty, staff, and students but also alumni, McCoy believes that those attending “[will] have a place to gather as a community...to celebrate what DePauw was, is, and will be.” During the ceremony, attendees will hear
speeches addressing the history of DePauw as a university, and will include work from DePauw community members such as English Professor Joseph Heithaus who will read one of his poems. When reflecting on his new position, McCoy believes being president of the University is similar to being Dean of the School of Music only with a heavier load and a faster pace. McCoy believes he has placed an emphasis on listening to the concerns of students and staff in order to hear what the DePauw community wants, and to help create a university based on what the community feels is important. In addition, McCoy hopes to improve the marketing and communication departments at DePauw. By revamping
DePauw’s public relations, McCoy wants to “better tell the story of who DePauw is from the perspectives of those attending or working at the school.” Some in the DePauw community are excited for the change. “[McCoy] will bring positive changes to campus that will further facilitate the culture of care among the student body,” said first-year Sarah Ande. Some students were not aware the inauguration was taking place. “Well I didn’t know it was happening,” said senior, Elizabeth Seewer. “There wasn’t really like a goodbye ceremony for President Casey either, because I feel like there is a switch and the president hands off to the next one, but obviously that won’t be happening.”

SASA provides guidance for sexual assault victims BY MADISON DUDLEY Managing Editor news@thedepauw.com
When a person on DePauw’s campus is sexually assaulted, one of the first people they usually speak to are Sexual Assault Survivor Advocates, or SASA. The director of SASA, Sarah Ryan, is often the first contact a survivor makes after the incident. Her goal is to help students in whatever way she can, and guide them in the path to recovery that they chose. Ryan is the director of both SASA and the Women’s Center, along with working as a SASA advocate herself. SASA advocates are available 24 hours, seven days a week by phone, and are trained to listen to survivors and share information on local resources to help victims decide the best path to take after an assault. They can be reached at (765) 658-4650. After her sexual assault, firstyear Angel Torres was encouraged to call SASA by the Public Safety officer who reported to the scene. “We chatted until, like, 3 a.m,” Torres said, “I had my SASA, so that was a good process to go through. To have someone to guide you throughout that kind of thing.” When giving information to students affected by sexual violence, domestic violence or stalking, SASA advocates are trained to run the gamut of resources available, both in and outside of the University. This includes the Greencastle police department and other organizations within the community. SASA is also not only for students; advocates will take calls from faculty, staff and Greencastle community members as well. SASA is specific to DePauw, and SASA advocates are all trained in mediation, trauma and well versed in the resources DePauw provides victims of sexual assault, stalking or domestic violence. All SASA advocates are faculty or staff, in order to maintain the privacy of the students who call. “Having a professionalized advocacy program was something
we decided to do,” Ryan said. Ryan said SASA was started 12 years ago by a group of students and was then put in place by the University as an official program. Even though students are no longer in the advocacy role of SASA, Ryan praised student organizations such as Green Dot and Code Teal for the work of spreading the word and preventing sexual assault on campus. Ryan emphasized the importance of student organizations and their impact on campus culture toward issues of sexual violence, domestic violence and stalking, and said students who are involved in these programs “play an enormous role in changing the culture of our campus, getting the word out about resources on our campus, and what to do if an assault occurs.” When it comes to seeking the help of SASA, Ryan said students who have experienced sexual violence can receive accommodations from the University without filing a report of any kind. “They don’t have to make a report to public safety or Title IX,” Ryan said. Accommodations could be everything from changing class schedules, extensions on school work, or moving residence halls
of either the victim or the accused perpetrator. If a student does wish to file a report with the University, they can go through the Title IX office, where the case will go through an investigation and the University’s judicial process. If Public Safety is called, they will conduct a formal investigation and hand their findings to both Title IX and the Putnam County Prosecutor. “We are accredited at the same standard as the Greencastle police,” said Director of Public Safety, Angie Nally. If a student wishes to go through the Greencastle police department, county sheriff or the Indiana state police, Public Safety will assist in the process. Public Safety will share information with the county prosecutor’s office, but not all campus resources can. “If a person reported a sexual assault and it goes to Title IX, they will not make a report to law enforcement on behalf of a student, but they will give them the resources of how to do that,” said Nally, because it is the student’s choice. Students also have the opportunity to take part in a Sexaul Assault Nurse Exam (SANE). Students can do this
COURTESY OF DEPAUW UNIVERSITY
at the Wellness Center. Nurses and medical practitioners who are trained in SANE take care of survivors of sexual assault or battery in two parts. First, they care for the individual’s possible injuries and work to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections. The second thing they do is collect biological evidence that can be used in the court of law. Ryan said that when going through the University’s judicial process, “DNA evidence is not something we need to hold someone accountable.” This is because individuals accused of sexual violence, especially on college campuses, sometimes claim that the sexual activity was consensual as opposed to it not taking place at all, said Ryan. If an individual wants to go to court, DNA evidence is more necessary. SASA gets calls not just from victims of sexual violence, but also from friends and peers who want help when it comes to comforting a friend. When caring for a friend who has experienced sexual trauma, Ryan said to let the victim know that talking to someone about it is the right thing to do, let them know you believe them, support them, but don’t
push them, let them know there are resources and to check on them. “When someone has been sexually assaulted, a really important decision has been taken away from them,” Ryan said. When it comes to being a sexual assault advocate, Ryan said her job is “to be there, to listen, to believe and to let someone know that what happened is not their fault.” Sophomore Joshua Selke is an intern at the Women’s Center, and is a strong advocate for the SASA program and other campus resources. “It gives students access to other materials than Title IX and also can be reached immediately at any time,” Selke said. “You can contact any of the SASA’s at any time, giving people 24-hour access to confidential support.” As the weekend gets closer, Ryan said it’s important for students to be aware of the resources available to them. “We are always ready for the phone to ring,” said Ryan. **The DePauw’s series on sexual assault has been extended. This has been the third part of a four part series.

Hoover Hall opens this Halloween BY EMMA MAZUREK News Editor news@thedepauw.com
After 28 months of construction and $31.5 million dollars, Hoover Hall will open its doors to the DePauw University community for the first time on Monday. Funded primarily by a gift from R. David and Suzanne A. Hoover ’67, the new hall will become the University’s main dining facility. To ensure that everything was finished on time, certain events were rescheduled to make the deadline. “We shuffled the schedule around at different times for different activities to resequence activities to keep things rolling,” said project manager, Warren Whitesell. The new dining facility, with a completely new set-up, is expected to be an upgrade from the old dining facility, The Hub, the previous dining facility located just below the Hubbard Center. The Hub was originally designed to serve food out of stations with no specific pathway for students to move about the space easily. “Everything is an upgrade,” said Whitesell, “Just the general space, the design in the space, the AV capability of the new space versus the old space, the flow, the niceness of it, all of it.” Hoover will be able to seat 550 students and faculty comfortably, compared to The Hub’s 350 person capacity. Patrons will use chairs and tables that were handmade in Auburn, Maine. Each table has the signature of the craftsman who made it below in order to create a more personal environment. “That’s kind of a neat thing with very nice material and very nice quality,” said Whitesell. One of the goals for the hall was to have large portions of it furnished by natural light so the structure has a combination of custom designed lighting as well as many large windows. In addition to the central dining room, there are four other smaller dining rooms that can be reserved

online via e-services by students or faculty. Each of the rooms has a specific color theme that the room’s donor had some input on. Individuals who choose to reserve these rooms can pay for a catered meal through Bon Appetit to be served. There is also a lounge that was designed to provide a place for faculty to meet with each other outside of traditional office settings. The flow of students purchasing their food should come naturally to most visitors because the doors direct students around the different stations containing food and towards the large common space at the center of Hoover Hall. The upgrade is not all aesthetic, Hoover’s kitchen, which Bon Appetit has been using for a week, is significantly larger and more efficient than the kitchen in
the Hub. The new format should let the chefs cook food that will be better than before. The kitchen is furnished with both new equipment as well as some that was transferred from the Hub. Hoover has three gender neutral bathrooms inside. The decision for gender neutral bathrooms was made early on in the designing process. “I think just because that’s kind of the trend that buildings are being built with that greater sensitivity in mind,” Whitesell said. “It seems like it was a timely decision, but it was more about how we identify the space that has been affected by more recent events.” According to Whitesell, the biggest challenge to building Hoover was perfecting the small details within the time frame. “Probably the hardest thing was to picture the level of detail when
it’s on a drawing versus when you start putting all of its pieces and parts together and trying to make sure you’ve accounted the time properly,” Whitesell said, “And just trying to maintain the same look and feel of all parts making sure that they fit together harmoniously the way we intended.” While most of Hoover is already finished, there is still some work being done on the upper levels of the mezzanine. The building is expected to be finished for the grand opening on Oct. 31 during Old Gold weekend. Students are looking forward to Hoover after eating at the temporary dining facility at The Inn at DePauw. “I’m really excited about Hoover Hall, especially after eating in the Inn that was really crowded and kind of rough,” said sophomore,
Joshua Selke. “I heard there is better food so it’s really exciting because there will be variety after the Inn.” Some students are looking forward to other aspects of the building besides food. “It’s a really nice building,” said sophomore, Abhishek Sambatur, “For me the most appealing part is more space to study, and I’m looking forward to seeing how it looks inside.” Sophomore Kiara Goodwine wishes that Hoover had opened earlier and is puzzled by the opening being on Halloween. “Well I wished that it opened when we came back, but I understand that they’ve had this date set for a while,” Goodwine said, “But I’m also really confused about why it’s on Halloween, and there better be themed cookies.”

Title IX survey sent to students, incentives offered THE DEPAUW STAFF REPORTING news@thedepauw.com
On Tuesday morning DePauw University students received an email to fill out a survey about sexual assault on college campuses. The Title IX survey is aimed to gauge sexual assault, harassment and domestic violence incidents on DePauw’s campus. “It ranges everything from language to actual sexual assault and rape,” said Julia Sutherland, assistant dean of students.
The short survey asks students about sexual assault that they have experienced and/or witnessed. The survey is also aiming to gauge a sense of what students do and don’t know about Title IX policy. The survey was created by an outside research firm, eduOutcomes.com, and the results of the survey will be released between January and February. Sutherland said the information will be released after the DePauw receives the results in early of next semester, and the University hopes to include
student leaders and student organizations in deciding the best way to present the information to the DePauw community. There are incentives for students to fill out the survey. “We are giving away Monon tickets,” Sutherland said, along with bookstore “swag”. For students who do not fill out the survey within the next two weeks, a second email will be sent to remind students, along with a follow up email a few weeks later. The survey will be open for the next six weeks.

She later applied for and received a grant from Inter American Press Association where she set out to complete a long-form journalism piece about a women in Mexico who set up a hospital and implemented training for midwives, in addition to promoting sex education. Her piece was never completed, but her time working and living in Mexico, and later spending her sabbatical in Oaxaca, influenced “Dancing with The Tiger.” Prior to writing fiction, Wright earned a master’s degree in creative nonfiction at Columbia University and then spent 10 years working as journalist across the country. Her first well-received book was a travel memoir, “Learning to Float,” which was published in 2003. Wright then wrote an unsuccessful second memoir about the short time between the birth of her son and the death of her mother. “I was angry I couldn’t sell that book, but I decided to write something totally different, I’m gonna write something I can sell,” Wright said. Instead of a memoir, she set out and succeeded to write a story with a lot of plot and action. This turned into “Dancing with The Tiger.” “I had this image of a woman in a mask behind the door and sticking her foot out, this whole seduction
thing,” Wright said. The novel not only received great reviews from renowned papers such as the New York Times, but it also encouraged Mark Gordon to option it for a motion picture. For a price, his company has now obtained exclusive rights to Wright’s work for a year and a half. Mark Gordon is currently an executive producer of “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Criminal Minds” and has produced films such as “Saving Private Ryan” and “The Patriot.” Although being optioned doesn’t guarantee screen time, Wright is excited about the possibility of her work transforming onto the screen. “I think it will make a great movie and I thought that when I was writing it,” Wright said, “It is very visual and has a suspenseful story, and I think Mexico is underplayed in the film.” Wright will be reading a selection from “Dancing with the Tiger” tonight in Thompson Hall at 7 p.m as part of the Kelly Writer Series. During the reading, students and faculty will be able to see glimpses of the Mexican culture which sparked Wright’s desire to create a novel based in Mexico.

Lili Wright unleashes ‘Dancing with the Tiger’ for the Kelly Writer Series BY LEXY BURTON Staff Writer features@thedepauw.com
It took DePauw University English professor, Lili Wright, close to six years of writing, motherhood and teaching, for her book, “Dancing with the Tiger” to become reality. “Dancing with the Tiger” was picked up by G.P. Putnam’s Sons, a branch of Penguin Publishing, and was published this past July. The book is Wright’s first fiction novel, and it has already earned acclaim from critics. The novel tells the story of the fight surrounding an ancient and priceless mask that is discovered by a looter in Mexico. The journey of her latest novel began when she was working as a reporter for the Salt Lake Tribune and taking night classes at the University of Utah. While taking a Spanish course, Wright was persuaded to go to Mexico with her professor and a group of students. She took a leave of absence from the paper and fell in love with Mexico’s culture﹘ especially Mexican folk art and masks. “As soon as I got back to the paper, all I wanted to do was go back to Mexico,” Wright said.
photographs of people, places and masks which inspired particular details and descriptions throughout her novel. “There is a scene up in the mountains where there is a cabin with a glass roof where the tiger crawls across the glass and that is a real place and I have been there,” Wright said, “Or when we were living in Oaxaca we had a swimming pool with our neighbors and the pool guy was always out to lunch, so naturally the pool would grow greener and greener so I used that as a metaphor for the darkening of the plot in the story is that the pool keeps getting greener and greener.” When Wright is not busy writing, swimming at Lily, or being a devoted mother or wife, she is teaching Intro to Creative Writing and News Writing. Junior Rachel May who takes News Writing says Wright covers a lot of material in class. “It is really exciting to be in a class with a professor who has a new, successful book out,” May said, “I’ll be excited to read her novel because the fiction genre is so different from how I know her.” Students will register for Spring courses as early as next week and can take Wright’s creative nonfiction workshop.
Wright has verbally expressed much gratitude towards DePauw staff and faculty who supported her work and read drafts along the way. In the last few pages of the book she also includes written acknowledgement for individuals who offered guidance. Professor Joe Heithaus, who currently directs the Kelly Writer series, said it is a standing tradition that a faculty member reads his or her work during each semester. “It’s exciting to be a writer,” Heithaus said, “It’s a big deal to start that journey and end with a publication.” The English department has planned a celebration to commence at Wasser Brew Company directly following Wright’s reading. There will be food, non-alcoholic beverages and a cash bar provided at the after party. Members of the DePauw community interested in reading “Dancing with the Tiger” can purchase a book at the reading or enter a picture for the #ShowYourMask to earn a free signed copy. Anyone can participate by submitting a photo entry with their mask of choice online. The competition closes Oct. 28 and the winner will be announced on Oct. 31.

GUES T COLUMN BY CONNOR BURGESS Features Columnist features@thedepauw.com
About two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of seeing singer-songwriter Laura Gibson perform for the first time when she opened for Shearwater at Schubas Tavern in Chicago. It was a small, unassuming venue: the space was a drafty, wood-paneled room adorned with faded murals and strung up white lights that created an
intimate environment. There was no backstage entrance— only an exit door off to the left—a small merchandise table toward the back. The whole atmosphere was very inviting, dark and close for sure, but comfortable in its small size. It is this same comfort that seemed to beckon Ms. Gibson to the stage which was bursting with amplifiers and sound equipment. Its metallic character was only broken by her single acoustic
guitar, which was connected to a modest amp towards the back of the stage. Gibson is a graduate student, and in my conversation with her as she made her way through her set, I found she had previously studied Fiction at Hunter College. It explained why her setlist was hastily jotted on a cover page of a recent essay. This tour is not her first rodeo. She released “Beasts of Seasons” in 2009, followed closely by “La Grande”, written just three years later. Her most recent album, “Empire Builder,” is quite different from her previous two, however. It doesn’t take much listening to find this out.
PG. 7 | October 26, 2016
The “About” section on her website narrates the album well; it is not just her fourth LP, but a cathartic album, one that tells the story of her struggle in New York City. It is the narration of a series of unfortunate events, starting with injury, and ending with the destruction of her apartment, a horrific gas explosion which left two dead, and all of her possessions lost to the flames. I could go on to tell you her story, but perhaps it’s better said with her music. It’s her most personal album to date. It gently guides the listener through a story of independence, trauma, connection, and, finally, a sense of healing.
It’s not often I find myself connecting personally with the plight of artists, but, in my young age, I found it comforting to hear the resilience and rediscovery that Gibson finds in the wake of such an earth-shattering series of trials. Her lyrics are earnest, honest, and wholesome. In that small room at Schubas, the set only broken by small quips and laughs, we found ourselves not in the telling of a story, but along for the ride. “Empire Builder” is set for release on April 1; it is the album of a journey, and I can say with confidence that it is one that you will want to listen to this one.

McCain’s rhetoric perpetuates partisan politics The election isn’t over. Trump hasn’t won, nor has Hillary. But that didn’t stop Senator John McCain from stating in a radio interview last week, “I promise you that we will be united against any Supreme Court nominee Hillary Clinton, if she were president, would put up.” Not only is this response childish, it is down right embarrassing. McCain doesn’t even know if Hillary will win but is categorically opposing any potential nominee simply because of her political leanings. By making such a statement, McCain is saying it doesn’t matter if you nominate an experienced, qualified and moderate judge. We will block it. He is not even willing to come to the table. While we can understand rejecting a nominee once they are announced, this early snipe embodies the growing gap between political parties. The groups are not even willing to hear each other’s suggestions before rejecting them. This refusal to even consider a proposal is just another example of the extreme partisan politics that are common today. This statement also flies in the face of the Republican’s previous rhetoric. In the months following Justice Scalia’s death in 2016, Republicans denied President Obama’s nomination, Merrick Garland, stating that the winner of the 2016 presidential election should choose the nominee. McCain almost verbatim voiced a similar opinion in an interview in 2005. McCain spokesperson Rachael Dean, later attempted to clarify his comments stating that McCain was referencing Hillary’s record of supporting liberal leaning nominees. Despite this back-pedal, McCain made it clear he has no interest in working with Clinton to get the supreme court filled again. Senator McCain should stick to his word and consider qualified nominees even if they come from Hillary Clinton. Such antics like McCain’s statement are embarrassing and ought to be shamed. If we are unwilling to even hear each other out, the next four years will be spent like the last four, without meaningful legislation.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, Halloween is an exciting time of the year here at DePauw. For many, it will be a night full of costumes and hilarity. However, while some are preparing for fun, others will be working to ensure safety throughout the campus. Over the past few weeks, chapters have discussed expectations for those who plan on attending these events. There has been a discussion on the relevance of costume attire, as all chapters expect students to dress up and celebrate the holiday. As we ask for creativity in your costumes, we remind you that cultural, racial and/or sexual costumes are prohibited in all fraternity houses.
Again, to those participating please be mindful about your costumes and the message your attire can portray to other students. Derisive costumes that mock aspects of another person’s identity are not humorous, they are simply reprehensible and aggressive. We also ask you to leave behind any costumes that may provoke fear to others, such as clown costumes. In all, please dress in a respectful matter, as we should all be working towards improving campus unity. We look forward to seeing everyone. Happy Halloween, Joseph Bauer, President of Phi Kappa Psi
Tawfiq Nedal Anabtawi, Vice President of Phi Kappa Psi Nicholas Tobar, President of Beta Theta Pi Mike Perry, President of Alpha Tau Omega Kemble Manning, President of Sigma Nu Nicholas Polanco, President of Sigma Chi
Coral bias BY Everett Wise Opinons Writer opinions@thedepauw.com
While being back at home over fall break, I had a lot of time to do the things I love. Spending time with my friends and family, enjoying the vivacity of Chicago, and catching up on my sleep. Over this break, I found that I once again had time to watch TV. Over a few days I started to notice something about the TV, more specifically, about the news. I noticed how the vast majority of reports did not actually seem like news to
me.
OPINIONS
The main stories in the news often consisted of petty political jabs by the presidential candidates, shootings and other tragic events, and of course, weather and sports. I did not know whether there was truly no more pressing news reports out there, or if other stories were simply pruned out of the broadcast. To me, the news seemed to be this consistent template of events with only names and minor details changing from day to day. I could not help but wonder why there was this incredible lack of diversity, and why other
stories were not included in the news. Through other sources, I was able to find reports of major events that were taking place in our world. I found that, in recent years, El Niño and climate change are putting the Great Barrier Reef—the world’s largest living structure, and the only one visible from space—in serious trouble. In fact, the most severe coral bleaching event on record decimated nearly 93 percent of the reef. I found myself utterly stunned by this reporting, and furthermore, I could not conceive why larger news outlets were not reporting on the recent coral bleachings. The Great Barrier Reef is under extreme stress which is crushing the life that it supports. This has profound

PG. 11 | October 26, 2016 implications for local and global ecosystems, as well as significant effects on the already stressed human food chain. To me, these facts seemed far more important and captivating than the quarrels of the presidential race; however, this story, and others like it, were absent from my news broadcast. This left me with one main question: where is sustainability in the news? With our growing population and increasing social, economic, and environmental stresses, it is paramount to our societies that we understand the importance of living sustainable lives. This has brought me to the opinion that media companies and reporting organizations alike, should commit to adequate reporting on
issues of sustainability and environmental instability. It’s my hope that as stories like this one become woven into the reporting framework of modern news agencies, it will bring attention to our growing environmental threats, and educate the public on the severe implications of American unsustainability. I may be alone in experiencing discontent with the current state of the media’s reporting; however, I do believe that the breadth of the topics covered by a news source should be representative of all of the major issues impacting the world.

A global election BY LAUREN STAZINSKI Opinons Writer opinions@thedepauw.com
If I’m ever missing America while abroad, I can always turn to the Danish news cycle to feel at home. “We follow the American elections so closely because they’re actually more important for Denmark than the Danish elections!” my host mom laughs. This November, this statement is truer than ever. Anyone studying abroad in Europe this semester has likely noticed that Europe’s political climate looks a lot like the U.S.’s right now. This is not a coincidence. Europe faces remarkably similar pressures as the U.S.: unemployment, mass immigration, culture clashes, terrorism, identity crises – and, unsurprisingly, Europe has responded to these threats in much the same way the U.S. has the past 16 months. Each country has seen membership in its right-wing nationalist party spike. In Denmark, there is the Danish People’s Party. In Sweden, the Sweden Democrats; in Norway, the Progress Party; in Finland, the Finns; in Germany, the Alternative; in Italy, the Northern League. Britain had the entire Brexit movement. Each of these parties has pinned economic troubles, job losses, crime, terrorism, and budget
deficits on one group of people: immigrants. Borders are closing in Europe. Sweden, for the first time since the creation of the Schengen area, has closed its southern border, preventing the entrance of refugees. Germany is reversing its once liberal asylum policies. Denmark is seeing spikes in violence between Danish nationals and those of foreign descent. Non-Western immigrants feel more and more unwelcome in Europe, and the loudest political groups engage in othering rhetoric. Britain has already defected from the EU over immigration, and several more threaten to follow in its footsteps. Of course, many of these reactions stem from human nature and our need to scapegoat. It is overly simplistic to trace all the world’s problems to what is playing out in mainstream U.S. politics. However, as we’ve long taken pride in being the role models of the world, we now have to acknowledge what that means. It means that this November, we are not just voting for a person, or even for a party. We are voting for a principle. The principle that this country, and this world, does not, and cannot, “other” a group of people. We do not, because we have a commitment to justice, and we cannot, because we know what can
happen when we do. We remember the years 1939 to 1945, and, though we didn’t live through them, we have a pretty good idea of what led to WWII and the horrors of that period. This election sends a message to the world that this is not the direction we’re heading. When European countries hold their next elections, the anti-immigration groups are going to have a lot of leverage if they can point to a successful American precedent for their rhetoric. Yes, it sounds like I’m peddling a doomsday scenario, and that’s usually a message I denounce. But, I’m really just relaying a message from some Danes I know who are worrying about the direction their country, and the rest of Europe, is heading. As with all doomsday scenarios, though, you can prevent it, but only if you listen to me. YOU, as an American, get to determine where this world is heading. There are a lot of Europeans who wish they could cast a ballot this November, and even more northern Africans and Syrians who would appreciate some friendly policies. If you don’t want to vote, you can vote in place of a little boy or girl in Aleppo who could use a new home and a new life, or for an ethnic Persian woman born in Denmark who doesn’t feel welcome in her own country. Because, if you ride the slippery slope down, they might even be more affected by your vote than you.

Monon bell tickets go on sale with $5 increase in general admissions BY DAVID KOBE Sports Editor sports@thedepauw.com
Tickets for the 123rd Monon Bell game went on sale on Monday, Oct. 24. The historic rivalry continues Saturday, Nov. 12, in Crawfordsville, Ind. at Hollett Little Giant Stadium on the campus of Wabash College. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:07 p.m.. For the first time, new ticket options are available to fans. The standard Monon Bell Classic General Admission Ticket offers onetime game day entry to nonreserved seating areas of the Hollett Stadium for $25 per
single-admission ticket. The Monon Bell Classic SuperTicket includes general admission access to Hollett Stadium, with one permitted exit and re-entry into the stadium, for $45 per ticket. The goal of the SuperTicket is to provide easier access in and out of the facility. For the 12th time, the game will be televised nationally on AXS TV. A live stream will provide global access to the game for the first time. Although DePauw has provided multiple ticket options and a live streaming service, the price of the general admission ticket has increased by $5 including service fees since last year. Junior Ranjit Singh
expressed his discontent with the increase. “It seems like a way to squeeze money from students who are socially obliged to go to the event,” Singh said. “Raising the prices by $5 isn’t going to change their mind, but considering it’s a historical event it doesn’t seem in the spirit of the event to have students breaking the bank for tickets.” Wabash goes into the series leading, 60-53-9. DePauw’s current record is 5-2 compared to Wabash’s 6-1. The matchup will be the first for Wabash’s Head Coach, Don Morel and the fourth for DePauw’s Head Coach, Bill Lynch.

Field hockey defeats Kenyon and Denison, clinches share of NCAC title BY FOSTER WHITLOCK Staff Writer sports@thedepauw.com
The DePauw University field hockey team defeated Kenyon College 2-1 on Saturday, Oct. 22, and beat Denison University 2-0 on Sunday, Oct. 23 to improve to 14-3 overall and 11-1 in the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC). With the two wins, the Tigers clinched a share of the NCAC title with two conference games to play. The Tigers opened the weekend with a win in Gambier, Ohio the home of Kenyon. Both teams were scoreless in the first half, and junior forward Paige Berliner opened up the scoring in the 54th minute with
a backhanded goal for DePauw. However, Kenyon responded less than four minutes later with a goal from Shannon Hart. The game would be tied 1-1 until a goal from junior forward Reilly Bruce put the Tigers ahead with less than seven minutes to go, and DePauw would hold on for a 2-1 win. DePauw outshot Kenyon 21-9, while Berliner scored her 15th goal of the season and Bruce had her 10th goal of the season. Kate Milner, a firstyear forward, assisted Bruce’s game-winning goal, which was her team-high 11th assist of the season. The Tigers came back the next day with another win, this time at Denison. Milner started off the scoring in the game
putting the Tigers up 1-0 off of an assist by Berliner. Berliner would score the second goal for DePauw to secure the victory against the Big Red, 2-0. The Tigers shut out Denison despite being outshot 10-4. Sophomore goalie Sarah Foye had four saves and got the shutout for the Tigers, while senior defender Sofia Carretero had a defensive save. DePauw had seven penalty corners to Denison’s three. With these victories, the Tigers extended their winning streak to eight straight games. They have two regular season games to play until the NCAC tournament. Senior defender Annie Wyman was impressed by the team’s success and knows the
Tigers still have work to do this season. “We play with the full 11 players on the field. Our opponents rely on a few strong players to carry the ball up the field, whereas we focus on a passing game. We know that we’re the team to beat in our conference, so we understand how important it is to play a consistent game,” Wyman said. “We’ve set a number of goals as a team this season, but going forward we know that we need to focus on our last two games in conference and win both. We’ve worked all season for the tournament championship title, so our goal is to finish on top.” Carretero also spoke of their success as a team. “We’ve been focusing on one game at a time.
On the field, we’ve done a great job playing as a cohesive unit, moving together on the field and connecting our passes,” she said. Junior forward Tori Wittemann noted how important and tough each game is, and how the Tigers could still improve, even though they have been playing well. “In our conference any team can win on any day and it’s all about who is going to show up and really play their game,” Wittemann said. “We can work on setting the tone right from the beginning of the game and staying focused on the present game and not the future.” DePauw will host Earlham College tonight at 7 p.m. in Reavis Stadium.
Tigers football taken down by Ohio Wesleyan, 37-15 BY LIBBY KAISER Staff Writer sports@thedepauw.com
The DePauw University Tigers took on Ohio Wesleyan University at home this past Saturday, picking up their second loss of the season. An early 14 points by the Bishops put the Tigers behind, but they answered by scoring 15. The Tigers were unable to hold them off, however, as the Bishops returned with 23 more points, ending the game at 37-15. The North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) loss dropped the Tigers to 5-2 in the season and 4-2 in the conference, while the Bishops advanced to 4-3 overall and 4-2 in the conference. Ohio Wesleyan’s quarterback Dominic Orsini capitalized on the Bishop’s first possession, running
through DePauw for a 37-yard score. Orsini and Tyler DeVitis continued their offensive strike completing a 15-yard pass to make it 14-0. With 14 minutes left in the half, the Tigers finished a 69-yard run. Senior kicker Marko Adams added on a 18-yard field goal to make the score 14-7. The Bishops responded by making their way to the Tigers’ 22nd yard-line, but DePauw was able to hold them off. On the first play of the next possession, senior quarterback Matt Hunt ran 24 yards, and, four plays later, hit sophomore wide receiver and his brother Andy Hunt with a pass for a 42-yard scoring play. Adams missed the extra point giving Ohio Wesleyan a 14-9 lead with close to nine minutes left in the half. Following a three-yard touchdown connection between
the Hunt brothers, DePauw took the lead at 15-14. The extra point was again off the mark and leaving the Tigers with a one point lead with under four minutes left in the half. Ohio Wesleyan’s Jesse Beachy answered with a 75-yard run on the third down that ended at DePauw’s 16 yard-line. After three plays, Orsini capped the run with a seven-yard scoring run, pushing the score to 21-15. The Bishops added to that by running 61 yards in 11 plays, as Alex Barrett scored on a 19-yard run, making it 28-15. The Tigers regained possession after a Brooks Hepp interception, but Matt Hunt was hit on third down and fumbled. The ball was recovered by Ohio Wesleyan. Orsini finished a four-yard run, and Ohio Wesleyan’s score improved to 34-15 with eight
minutes remaining in the game. The Bishops added another three points after intercepting Hunt’s pass on the next possession, turning it into an eight-play, 50yard drive. A 28-yard field goal by Tim Shadoan put the final score at 37-15. Matt Hunt became DePauw’s all-time total offense leader as he reached 9,525 yards early in the game. Despite the loss, Hunt holds a positive mentality as the team progresses in the season. “I think you can expect a team that is re-energized and motivated to finish this season strong,” Hunt said. “We know we are capable of playing with the best teams in the NCAC, but we have yet to prove that. This weekend will be a great time to showcase that ability.” “I thought Will Longthorne played a great game,” Hepp said. “They keyed on him and double
teamed him for most the game and he still managed to lead the team in tackles which is very impressive.” Sophomore linebacker Dominic Miranda looks ahead at the rest of the Tigers’ season. “What you can expect from the team moving forward is a bunch of guys with a chip on their shoulders who want to finish this season strong and send these seniors out with a bang...and a bell,” Miranda said. “You aren’t going to see guys feeling sorry for themselves because we have worked too hard and long to just fold. Coach Lynch has our minds right and we will finish the season strong.” DePauw takes on Denison University this Saturday at 2 p.m. in hopes of improving their record.

Tigers fall to Wabash for first time in 17 years BY Keenan Kadam Staff Writer sports@thedepauw.com
The DePauw University Tigers men’s soccer team traveled to Crawfordsville on Tuesday night to face rival Wabash College. The Tigers were bested in a 1-0 contest. The win was the Little Giant’s first against the Tigers since 1999. DePauw leads the all-time series 37-13-3. Wabash struck the game’s only goal with a shot from 35 yards out. Following that, the Tigers weren’t able to register any solid chances on net despite some close calls off of corners in the final seconds. DePauw outshot the Little Giants 13-8, but Wabash tailed more shots on goal which made all the difference in this close rivalry match. The rivalry also brought out a more aggressive match. Both teams combined for 30 fouls and one yellow card. “It’s certainly a disappointing loss, especially since I felt we had the better of play for the majority of the game” said senior goalkeeper, Harrison Glover. “The kid hit a great shot and unfortunately we weren’t able to get the equalizer from there. I am still proud of the team for fighting for 90 minutes and luckily we are still in control of our own season.” This game had major ramifications for the conference tournament. With the win, Wabash stays comfortably in second place, while DePauw dangles precariously in fourth. With conference tournament play beginning next week, only the top four teams from regular season play will advance. A match Monday between first place Kenyon College and fifth place Ohio Wesleyan University ended 2-0 in favor of Kenyon. The win will help the Tigers going

into the final game of the regular season on Saturday against Allegheny College. The Tigers can secure their spot in the tournament with a win over the Gators. They can still advance
despite a loss, but only if Ohio Wesleyan fails to get a win against Hiram College on Saturday. Coach Brad Hauter is motivated at the possibility of getting another shot at their rival. “They’re a very
good team and that’s a tough place to play,” said Coach Hauter. “If we take care of business Saturday we may get to face them again.” Coach Hauter definitely isn’t worried about his team going
forward. “This team has bounced back after every setback and I expect us to do it again.” The Tigers face Allegheny on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. in Reavis Stadium.
