Mark McCoy inaugurated as DePauw’s 20th president

BY EMMA MAZUREK News Editor news@thedepauw.com

Four months into his presidency, Mark McCoy was officially inaugurated as the 20th president of DePauw University on Saturday, saying he wants to do “good and noble work.”

In a ceremony that was more a history of DePauw, keynote speaker Vernon Jordan ’57 brought many people to tears in Kresge Auditorium. The civil rights activist and advisor to former U.S. President, Bill Clinton, connected his experiences as a student at DePauw during the 1950s to present day events.

“Dr. McCoy, you are no stranger to DePauw,” Jordan said. “My hope is that you will lead this institution in such a way that DePauw students will exercise their moral power.”

In 1953, when Jordan came to DePauw, he was one of five African American students. “While I came here to learn political science and history, it was also an opportunity to learn about people I did not know and people who did not know me,” Jordan said. “While I learned a lot here I also taught a lot just by the

fact of my very presence.”

Jordan, who grew up in segregated Georgia, discovered he would be living with two white roommates for the entirety of the school year. After living with each other for some time, they admitted their realization that Jordan was just the same as they were. This was one of the many transformational moments at DePauw for Jordan.

“I love this place because DePauw prepared me to live the life I have been blessed to live. I had made DePauw a second home and even though it was not always easy, I received an excellent education here,” he said.

Casting a half century’s glance, Jordan noted: “Today’s DePauw is more diverse, more open, more in tune with what America is and can become. And whether it is on this campus or across this country, we have seen so much progress since I was a student here.”

Jordan concluded by calling for national unity.

“It is up to all of us to ensure that progress continues,” Jordan said, “but I believe that we can rise up and transform, that we can come together and clear the rumble not to

make America great again, but to make America greater than it has ever been before.”

Jordan’s speech prompted a

standing ovation.

McCoy followed with his inaugural remarks, focusing on advancing the University through each stu-

dent’s experience. “DePauw is most importantly our people,” McCoy said. “We are DePauw and it is up to CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

us to strive toward the ideal DePauw.”

He gave examples of faculty and staff to prove their dedication. McCoy emphasized the University’s drive to improve itself. “DePauw has been a beacon of hope, an opportunity that has changed countless lives and continues to change lives every day and our good and important work will never finish,” McCoy said.

Throughout the ceremony many other DePauw voices were heard. DePauw graduate and chair of the Board of Trustees, Marshall Reavis ‘84, began the inauguration by welcoming everyone to the event. “This is indeed a great moment for our university,” Reavis said.

In addition to these two major speeches, several representatives from multiple communities such as the town of Greencastle, the faculty and staff, the board of trustees, and students spoke about everything from the University’s founding to its present day.

Notably, Professor Mac Dixon-Fyle spoke briefly about the relationship between the President and the faculty.

“We will appear to delight in spawning new controversies for you to handle, but do not for one moment doubt that we [the faculty] want a better DePauw,” said Dixon-Fyle.“You might think that we relish combat with you at every opportunity but we are far too busy to indulge in that.”

The inauguration ceremony ended with most of Kresge auditorium standing to sing, emphatically, “A Toast to DePauw” before the recessional.

Many people felt excited to have attended McCoy’s inauguration.

“It was a really unique experience, partly because it’s only the 20th time in 180 years that DePauw has had this ceremony and has had another University president,” said Student Body President, Claire Halffield. “I think President McCoy said it best when he said the University was for the students, so I think it’s cool to see that a new chapter of experience has been started.”

Board of trustees returns to DePauw this past week

BY EMMA MAZUREK News Editor news@thedepauw.com

DePauw University’s board of trustees decided this week to increase tuition costs for next year.

The board met on campus in the days preceding Mark McCoy’s inauguration as DePauw’s 20th president.

Marshall Reavis ‘84, chairman of the board of trustees, said a tuition increase was a major topic at the meetings. Reavis said to expect a “slight increase, but far below what we have been increasing in prior years.”

McCoy said the tuition hike is aimed at maintaining the overall DePauw experience.

“We are not interested in making money,” said McCoy, “that is not our goal,

our goal is to provide a life changing education here for every student. It’s important to understand that even if a student paid the full standard price, they would not pay the full cost of this education.”

McCoy claimed that a liberal arts education is often more expensive than other forms because the accumulation of resources is too expensive to provide easily.

“I often say that a research institution was invented by an economist, and a small liberal arts college was invented by an artist, because this is the best educational model in the world, but a really bad business model,” McCoy said. “In order to cover the full cost we’d have to raise tuition something

like $35,000.”

During their fall meeting, the board of trustees also focused on DePauw’s branding, budget, as well as the inauguration and unveiling of portraits. “This board meeting has been particularly interesting because it has been such a great moment of celebration for DePauw,” McCoy said.

The board of trustees met with a consultant to talk about DePauw’s image. “Which was a really fun event, different than anything we had ever done,” Reavis said. “It’s a fresh way to look at DePauw.”

The board’s main concern is that high school students are not always aware of DePauw’s presence throughout the world.

“Sometimes we don’t tell our story too well, sometimes we’re a bit timid,” Reavis said. “We need 620 or so kids each year, so we need to tell our story better.”

Students and faculty will be asked for their input into how they feel DePauw is truly like. “What we’re trying to do is find the authentic DePauw,” McCoy said. “We are incredibly proud of DePauw and we need to look at the impact that DePauw graduates have had on the world.”

This effort is mostly aimed at high schoolers considering applying to DePauw. “I think part of the goal is to differentiate DePauw and cut out the clutter,” said Director of Media Relations, Ken Owen ’82.

Hoover opens, creates inclusive dining experience for students

BY BRYTTNI CARPENTER Staff Writer news@thedepauw.comw

A line of students and faculty members waiting for lunch snaked out the doors of Hoover Hall on its opening day Monday.

“I like Hoover so much that I woke up early before class so I could go to breakfast and eat a waffle,” said first-year Anna Horak.

Hoover Hall officially opened on Monday, creating a new place for all members of the DePauw community to eat. Hoover replaces the Hub Dining Hall which was shut down and torn down at the end of last school year and the Den in Longden Hall.

Hoover was originally set to open at the end of the spring 2015 semester, but due to budget concerns it opened almost a year and a half later.

First-year, Everett Wise, ate breakfast there and was happy with how the food turned out.

“The pancakes are the opposite of hockey pucks,” Wise said.

“They’re warm and fluffy.”

Some students are stunned by the interior of the building “I think it’s beautiful,” said junior, Mckenzie Allaben. “I think it’s good that DePauw has something like this and we needed to take that

first step in updating our campus and I think that Hoover hall is a great kick-off.”

While some students are excited, others would appreciate some changes in the arrangement. “I still wish they would label exactly which animal product is in each dish though, for people who are not familiar with American food,” said sophomore, Peper Langhurt, “Or even Americans with dietary restrictions, y’all know what’s in chorizo?”

Other students could not help compare Hoover Hall to other buildings on campus. “It’s really nice, but what was the logic behind building an entirely new dining hall when we have freshmen dorms that are in utter disrepair and a library that desperately needs renovation,” said sophomore, Emily Troyer. “To me, the place where you live and the place where you pursue academics should always take precedence over a shiny new building.”

John Hecko, general manager of Bon Appetit, is excited to be using the new facility where everything is made in front of students.

Along with a new kitchen, Hoover is updated and renovated to be energy efficient. According to Warren Whitesell, the project manager for Hoover Hall, the building has reached Lead Gold Status. This means the building

performs more efficiently in energy and gas usage. “We not only wanted to increase the aesthetic of the building, but we wanted to improve the functionality,” Whitesell said.

Whitesell knew he wanted to put Hoover in a central location on the campus so students will want to come. Hecko is excited that the new building will be a central location on campus not only for students, but also his staff. “The biggest deal for me is that all of

my staff will be under one roof,” Whitesell said. “It helps build my team and what we want to do.”

He hopes it can be seen in the development of the menu and communication between his staff and students. “We want to be healthy, we want to be sustainable, we want to be local but we also want to incorporate what the students want,” Hecko said.

Bon Appetit is committed to creating a great space students will want to come to. “We know

closing the Den is something that students don’t want but change is sometimes hard,” said Hecko.

“We’ve found that the students like to give feedback and we hope to build an open line of communication with students.”

Students should not fear losing the beloved buffalo chicken wrap. “I challenge them to look at items that were top sellers and incorporate them into the late night menu,” he said, “I can assure you that it will be.”

DePauw sees decline in humanities majors

BY GRACE NODEN Staff Writer news@thedepauw.com

Although many students claim DePauw University is “in a bubble,” it appears even a school in rural Indiana follows national trends, specifically the decreasing numbers of students majoring in the humanities.

The humanities include English, history, classics, and philosophy. According to a study completed by American Academy of Arts & Sciences, the number of bachelor degrees in humanities decreased by 8.7 percent between 2012 and 2014. The same study found that out all of the bachelor ’s degrees awarded in 2014 only 6.7 percent were in the core humanities, greatly reduced from 17.2 percent in 1967.

The affected departments, as well the Administration, are working to combat this decrease, because of the large role humanities play in the liberal arts experience.

Out of the 45 majors DePauw offers, 50 percent of students major in either biology, computer science, communication, economics, and English. Out of those five majors, English is the only discipline that is a part of the humanities.

Harry Brown, chair of the English department, thinks student may not be interested in pursuing the humanities because it is perceived as less financially lucrative.

“I think a lot of it’s owed to the cultural misperception of the non utility of the humanities in the 21st Century,” Brown said. “I do think it’s a misperception because if you look at our alumni or you talk to employers, especially in fields that are changing rapidly like

business, they’re constantly in demand for people who can communicate, work in ambiguous situations, work in text and multimedia, and who can think flexibly and think critically.”

In addition, DePauw’s current core curriculum may also be the cause for less students choosing to major in the humanities because it combines arts and humanities courses into one distribution area.

Students can avoid taking a humanities course throughout their four years, but still fulfill the requirement by taking two courses in the arts.

“What we’re finding with the graduation requirements are that students are taking fewer 100 level humanities courses. In other words, you can graduate from DePauw without ever taking philosophy, art history, English, history,” said Anne Harris, vice president for academic affairs and a former professor of art history.

In 2012, following the implementation of the current core curriculum allowing arts course to be substituted for humanities, humanities numbers started dropping.

“After the new graduation requirements were put into effect, we saw a plummeting demand in our classes and with the major,” said Marcia McKelligan, professor and chair of the philosophy department.

“Essentially you’ve gone from taking 5 ½ classes in arts and humanities to two.”

It is normal for universities to review their graduation requirements from time to time, and according to Harris, it appears that DePauw is about to do the same.

“I think we’re on the cusp of doing exactly that here, which is to kind of examine

what is it that is specific to the arts and to the humanities that we want every DePauw student to experience,” Harris said.

Additionally, Harris reported that these talks to separately define the arts and humanities so that the two will not be lumped together under the same requirement may happen as soon as next semester through a curriculum committee and faculty input.

The department chairs for these majors are also making changes to increase student interest, mainly through increasing the number of introductory courses and the topics.

“We have a variety of ways for students to enter the major.

I think we’re different from a lot of departments in that way,” said David Gellman, professor and chair of the history department. “You can enter the major through a

First-Year Seminar, we have lots of entry-level survey classes. Then we also--this is something we’ve done in the past few years--offer some topical historical encounters classes.”

Similar changes are being made to the English and philosophy departments.

“We don’t want students to see us as a disadvantage, so we’ve revised our curriculum. It used to be that we only had two 100 level courses in literature and one in writing, so we’ve opened the gates a little wider to try and attract non-majors and undeclared students to the department,” Brown said. “We call them Reading Literature. We’ve designed these courses specifically with interdisciplinary focus.”

The philosophy department has also attempted to highlight the success of its students. “We also have sheets

where we publicize how well students do on the GMAT, on the LSAT, and the GRE, so that people understand that there are concrete benefits,” McKelligan said.

Harris hopes these eventual changes to the curriculum will help students gravitate more towards humanities courses, but in the meantime she hopes that they see the benefit of one of the core experiences of a liberal arts, a term from the Middle Ages that means “little race.”

“So the idea is that you’re running a little race, which is your four years in college, in preparation for the big race, which is the rest of your life,” Harris said, “at DePauw, a small liberal arts college, that curriculum, that little race, teaches you four interpretative frameworks to look at every complex problem in the world.”

Professor Suarez and her year teaching at a women’s prison

BY JEFF COLLINS Features Columnist features@thedepauw.com

It’s hard to find good scary movies these days, or that is my opinion about it, anyway.

Typically the films follow their genre conventions too closely, and the characters and situations are not unique enough to stand up on their own. Fede Alvarez’s thriller “Don’t Breathe” (2016) was a refreshing break from this disappointing trend.

“Don’t Breathe” is about a woman, Rocky (Jabe Levy), and two men, Alex (Dylan Minnette), and Money (Daniel Zovatto), who are serial robbers.

When the movie begins, the group decides to ransack a home for $300,000 before skipping town. Unfortunately for them, the home belongs to a blinded war veteran (Stephen Lang) who catches them in the act using his enhanced other senses.

The blind man became wealthy after his daughter was hit and killed by a college student, and the student’s family paid him off to avoid sending her to jail. The plot includes a few plot twists along the way that I do not want to spoil for you.

“Don’t Breathe” stood out from the crowd of horror flicks because it was difficult to know who to root for in the film. The main characters are objectively bad people; they break into and steal from people’s homes, and the robbery shown in the movie is of a blind man. On the other hand, the blind man is no saint either. Although he is protecting his home, the lengths to which he goes are questionable.

That being said, the director still relies on tried and true character archetypes. Rocky is set up as the robber with a heart

of gold. We find out that after this last big score, she wants to run away from her abusive mother, with her younger sister in tow. Alex is the timid one in the group who does not want to be part of robbing a blind man, but ultimately goes along with it. He also is in love with Rocky who is dating Money. Money is the stereotypical jerk, seen as hot-headed and not a good boyfriend to Rocky. From these initial characteristics, it is not surprise when Money becomes the first casualty of the film, though it is surprising how early on in the movie this first kill happens.

Even with these prototypical characters, the action of the narrative does not seem slow.

The pacing of the film seems to work perfectly. This is surprising because the vast majority of the film takes place in a dark house and minimal dialogue. The pacing works because of how interesting the initial idea is: people trying to rob a blind man and biting off more than they chew. The film keeps the viewers on their toes with plot twists. The plot changes work very well because they are meant to confuse and scare the viewer and are not over-absurd.

While a majority of scary movies are pleasing to watch because of how bad they are, “Don’t Breathe” was a scary movie that I genuinely enjoyed watching. Some of the plot points were easy to see coming.

However, I was left feeling entertained and interested in how our protagonists would get out of the self-inflicted situations. I would recommend “Don’t Breathe” for anyone looking for a good scary movie.

Until next time, take care of yourself and each other. I’m Jeff at the Movies.

BY REBECCA CONLEY Features Editor features@thedepauw.com

While some professors take a sabbatical year to further their professional careers through bookwriting or research, Associate Professor of Sociology, Alicia Suarez, taught inmates at the Indiana Women’s Prison (IWP).

Suarez taught “Girls, Women, Deviance, and Social Control,” at IWP which she is teaching this semester at DePauw. The course covers the medicalization of women’s bodies as a way to take control over women’s choices.

The summer before teaching at the prison, she had a call-out meeting with the female inmates interested in the class. There, they developed and tweaked the syllabus to meet the students’ needs.

“It was interesting because the prisoners did not want the section I normally teach about birth and pregnancy. Most of the women had kids and didn’t care to learn more about it. I was sad about omitting that section since it’s my favorite to teach,” Suarez said. The course focused more on such topics like theory, breast cancer, menstruation, reproduction and sexuality.

Suarez has been teaching for 15 years, and received her undergrad and PhD for Sociology at Indiana University in Bloomington. She describes herself as a “woman, mother, racially ambiguous, heavily tattooed… I have friends and family involved in criminal justice system and have volunteered at IWP for a few years prior to teaching this class.”

The IWP, founded in 1873, is situated in Indianapolis and holds 600 female inmates. Since it is in a city instead of a rural area, the IWP tends to house women with chronic illness, mental illness, or are pregnant. “The fact that this prison even has a college program is very noteworthy. IWP is progressive for prisons. The prison administration is very supportive to classes like mine,” Suarez said.

Suarez started with 21 students, mostly white and English-

speaking. Within two weeks, she was down to 13 students. There were an array of reasons for women dropping the course: one woman transferred prisons, and some had to attend other mandatory classes that conflicted. The course finished with eight students, and several dogs. “[The dogs] were distracting at first, but I got used to it,” Suarez said.

Three of the women participated in the International Companion Animal Management Coalition (ICAM), which the ICAM website comments is a program to “support the development and use of humane and effective companion animal population management worldwide.”

Along with canine students, Suarez experienced a number of differences between teaching at the IWP instead of DePauw. For one, she had much less control over the environment: officers would pop into the classroom, the “voice of Oz” intercom (a name given by the inmates) would interrupt her teaching, classes would be cancelled or cut short, and all supplies and rooms had to be unlocked by IWP staff.

The lack of resources was also an issue. “At DePauw, for the most part, [professors] can choose whatever books they want on a syllabus with the expectation that students will purchase them. Yes, the prices of books are considered, but we basically have free reign on book choices,” Suarez said. “ At the prison, they have no access to purchasing books. In order to teach effectively, I had to be a bit creative.” She was able to crowd source books through Facebook and friend connections for her IWP students to be properly equipped for her class.

“I was nervous on the first day bringing the books through security; I wasn’t sure if they would let me bring them in. Here’s me, walking through the scanners with a box of The Technology of Orgasm books. Instead of confiscating the books, one of the security guards saw it and started laughing, saying he wanted to take the class,” Suarez

said.

The lack of technology was also a major departure from DePauw teaching. “They didn’t have laptops or any access to computers, so I couldn’t email them and they couldn’t email me. For group projects, classmates couldn’t text each other to meet up, they had to find ways to go around this,” Suarez said.

Religious Studies professor, Jeff Kenney, has considered teaching at an Indiana prison. “We have so much in our [university] classrooms, and there’s this foundational pedagogy that professors are used to. So how do we address students without technology and hold their attention?” said Kenney. “People that go into prisons can’t take stuff with them, and even basic things like markers and pencils are controlled. When professors teach in a prison, they’re retooling what teaching means when you don’t have all of the bells and whistles.”

Suarez said there was a wide range of skill sets and experiences from the women, and her students were not afraid to show their insecurities. “[The women] could bring a lot more to the table because they have ‘lived’ and are much more comfortable with talking about trauma and abuse than DePauw students,” Suarez said. “They were able to take concepts in the course and apply them with more depth...

Some of my best students at the prison were on par with my best students here.”

Despite the challenges, Suarez would teach a class at IWP again if given the chance. She believes her experiences at the prison have already changed the way she thinks about DePauw.

“Alicia recognizes the value of all people even it society doesn’t,” said Maggie Wetzel, a senior at DePauw advisee of Suarez. “She doesn’t consider herself a saint because she works with marginalized women, but she recognizes that there is a need for recognition and acknowledgement that gives validity into people’s experiences and the way our current system is structured.”

Greisy Genao self-publishes “despierta.,” writes who are living at the intersection

of marginalized identities.

Junior Greisy Genao got tired of waiting for the day to send her work through the formal publishing

process,

so

she

decided to self-publish her book of poems titled “despierta..”

The title translates to ‘awake’ in English. The book consists of 16 poems and discusses a range of topics, from political issues to Genao’s experience as a queer Latina poet.

TDP: What was your inspiration for “despierta.?”

GG: It’s hard to say because it was all over the place. For the most part it’s about a person, a girl who means a lot to me.

TDP: Why did you title your work “despierta.?”

GG: There are a couple of poems in here that have political undertones, and me being a poet who is Latina and queer is already beckoning to take up space in a field of art. [This field] typically doesn’t provide a space for people who look like me and

I feel like the book existing in itself is kind of “woke,” and we hear this term coming around a lot in our generation. We’re kind of described as people who have some type of understanding of the system, of identity, privilege, and power. Yet to me, it is not just being “woke” but just waking up and waking up not only in the poetic sense, but also waking up and realizing how my identities affect the way I maneuver the world.

TDP: What was the publishing process like?

GG: It is actually really easy. I used createspace.com and it is basically a subset of Amazon.

They give you an ISBN code, which is a code that books have to identify them and then you start the process. First, you submit your book, and it could be a chapter book or a poetry book, and they also take films and music. Then you submit it under their format. After they review it

DAPL: not worth it

Many of you have probably seen posts on social media with ‘#noDAPL’ and friends checking in on Facebook at Standing Rock, North Dakota or Standing Rock Indian Reservation. This is a sign of solidarity.

The Sioux Native American tribe of the Standing Rock reservation in North Dakota are fighting the creation of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) through peaceful protests. These protests have been going on for months, but recently violent clashes between law enforcement, protesters and journalists have taken place leading to the arrest of many, though most charges are later dropped.

The pipeline is planned to stretch 1,172 miles, connecting North Dakota to Patoka, Illinois. Parts of DAPL are set to run through the Standing Rock Sioux reservation, along with cutting through the Missouri River. While pipelines are generally safe, there is always the possibility of contaminating the drinking water of the reservation and the people who live there. There is also the potential for contamination of the Missouri River which would impact many more lives than just the residents of Standing Rock.

DAPL is unethical, for multiple reasons. For starters, the pipeline was originally supposed to run through Bismarck, the capital city of North Dakota, but that plan was rejected because of the risk it posed to contaminating the city’s water supplies. Then however, DAPL was proposed to be redirected through Standing Rock with no consideration of polluting the Sioux drinking water. This act alone shows contempt and lack of concern for the lives of the Sioux community.

The pipeline would cut through Native American land, which the tribe has had control over since a treaty in 1868. DAPL very clearly— at least to us at The DePauw—violates this treaty. This land is sacred, and is home to hundreds of families as well as Native American history.

Building a pipeline through this land would be a true statement of disrespect.

Finally, the construction of the pipeline itself is unethical in regards to the environment. Extracting oil from the earth, moving oil and eventually processing and burning the oil takes a great deal of energy and a massive toll on the environment. Beyond this impact, the pipeline perpetuates our use of fossil fuels instead of moving towards more sustainable energy. DAPL is incredibly harmful to the land it will cut through and the earth as a whole.

As an American, you have probably heard these words or even used them in your everyday life. But what do they mean? Where do they come from?

The world of languages is vast and each language is a world in itself. There is a Chinese proverb that says “To learn a language is to have one more window from which to look at the world.” We teaching assistants love studying languages: it gives us a better understanding of the world. Without knowledge of other languages, you only experience one.

As learners of foreign languages, we can say that learning languages have made us see things in a different way and has helped us realize that our languages are not the only

Alejandro Brox

ones that exist or the only ones that are important. We have found out how rich other languages are and how rewarding it is to be able to understand someone who lives thousands of miles away and whose native language is different.

Learning languages also helps you get to know people from all over the world, with no further language barriers, meaning that you can get to know other customs as well.

Lots of people are afraid of going abroad because they think they will be foreigners and that nobody will understand them. Well, as Edmund De Waal said, “With languages, you are at home anywhere.” The culture might be different and this can be shocking at first, but you will never understand why it is this way if you do not speak the language. There is nothing like being able to get answers without needing anybody else to tell

It is quite evident that almost every student at DePauw takes a language course because of the language requirement. We would like to encourage students to be aware of the fact that languages are a key tool for the future, as it will provide them with a great range of different opportunities and possibilities to embrace other cultures.Plus, studying a foreign language helps you understand yours better, too. As Geoffrey Willans said, “Those who know nothing of foreign languages know nothing of their own.” It’s a fact that languages contribute to a better understanding of our own language, and sometimes of our own culture as well. He then says, “You can never understand one language until you understand at least two.”

Our suggestion is to study as many languages as you can to open your mind and look at the world around you. A flawless example could be us, teaching assistants, who have learned one or more languages in order to be able to go abroad, experience other cultures and open up to our new and intriguing job opportunities.

Enough is enough: stop the fire alarms Sheraya Smith This past Saturday, residents of Bishop Roberts suffered through their tenth false fire alarm this semester. While pulling a false fire alarm is a serious offense, the circumstances surrounding this particular alarm made it much graver.

As we exited the building, we were alarmed to see a stretcher sitting in the lobby. We quickly learned that a student on an upper floor needed urgent medical attention, and the EMTs had just arrived when the fire alarm went off. Because the elevators shut down when there is an alarm, the EMTs were unable to

take the stretcher upstairs; additionally, the students moving out of the building significantly hindered the EMTs in reaching the student.

As a result, the student had to be carried down the stairs in a blanket.

Though I’m unsure how long this process would take under normal circumstances, I think it’s safe to say that the fire alarm slowed the student’s removal considerably. Had that student died or been seriously impaired because of the delay, that damage would be on the heads of the perpetrators.

Although the perpetrators were probably unaware of the situation, the results of their actions show that pulling an alarm can be so much more than a joke or prank. Although the student has recovered, the question of “what if” still remains.

Is pulling the alarm really worth risking someone else’s life?

While some may view my accusations as harsh and point out that this was an unusual situation, I argue that even in a normal situation pulling a fire alarm has serious consequences. First of all, it disrupts students’ schedules and deprives them of sleep. Intentionally forcing students to get up in the middle of the night is incredibly disrespectful and disruptive.

Secondly, each time the alarm is pulled, it is costing Greencastle money, as the fire department is required to send a truck out. Additionally, there’s a chance that a real emergency might pop up while the fire department is tending to a false alarm, and that truck would be unable to help. It’s definitely not good to make enemies out

of our community or service members just for the sake of a joke.

Lastly, and probably most importantly, the frequent false alarms are desensitizing students. No one wants to leave their bed at 2:00 in the morning to go shiver outside, and the more times the alarm is pulled, the more tempting it will be for students to stay inside and sit out the alarms, especially if they think it’s false. In the case of a real fire, this could have devastating consequences.

So what’s the solution?

Cameras are supposedly on the way, but that might not be enough to identify perpetrators, who are typically not BR residents.

If the alarms continue, I might think it appropriate to restrict access to the tunnel that connects Longden and BR, as this is likely how most of the pullers get into BR.

Though the issue of shared laundry facilities presents a problem, that too can be fixed: with the closing of the Den kitchen, there will now be space for Longden to have their own laundry facilities.

While it’s not a perfect fix, I think the security it would provide would be worth any inconveniences.

There’s a chance that this still might not be enough, and that’s why I’m turning to you. If your friends are considering pulling an alarm, please, be the cool one by telling them why this isn’t a good idea. If you see someone pull an alarm, please tell an RA so that the situation can be addressed.

There are so many other pranks that are legal and not nearly so damaging and disruptive; please be smart and act for the good of our campus.

JULIAN GONZALEZ

TDP: When did you first think that breaking the alltime scoring record was achievable?

Gonzalez: Really the first time the topic came up was freshmen year when I had my season best, 14 goals. My coach sat me down at the end of the season. He basically told me if I keep up this production I could get it. I had it in the back of my mind from there on out. Despite that I really didn’t want it to dictate how I played.

If it happened that’d be great. I knew that if I didn’t worry about it I would play better so I just made sure to prioritize winning with my team. The main goal was winning the conference tournament and trying my best to help the team any way I could.

TDP: You were able to get a hat trick in less than 20 minutes that game. What allowed that level of scoring?

Gonzalez: It was a must win game. If we would’ve lost, the season would have been over.

With everything on the line, we had to take advantage from the very start. First fifteen minutes I wanted to take advantages of my chances. It worked out with some lucky bounces and I was at the right place at the right time. The pressure of the game definitely helped my performance and everyone else’s.

Julian Gonzalez, senior men’s soccer forward, broke the all-time scoring record Saturday with a hat trick, notching his 50th career goal against Allegheny College.

J.R. Foster ‘02 previously held the record with 48 goals.

Gonzalez scored all three goals in the first half pushing his season total to 16. His performance led the Tigers to a 4-0 win and the final spot in the North Coast Athletic Conference Tournament.

TDP: What was it like breaking this landmark on your senior day?

Gonzalez: The setting couldn’t have been better. First off, it was something that I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish without my teammates. Andy Morrison , a former teammate and on the all-time goal list was in attendance. He always motivated me and kept me grounded. My parents were there and my brother also flew in from New York so it was nice to have them there to see the accomplishment and share that moment with those people.

TDP: What do you guys need to do to succeed in the conference tournament?

Gonzalez: I think we’ve always been a team that plays well against good teams. Our biggest weakness is when we play down to our level.

It’s win or go home and if we leave everything else down on the field and do well at the fundamentals we can do some damage. Kenyon, Case Western, and Ohio Wesleyan were all really good teams that we were able to be competitive with so we know we can do it.

Every day could be our last.

We hope to keep playing and hopefully we can do well and get that automatic bid to the tournament.

Both Tiger teams beat Albion and fell to WashingtonSt. Louis, transitioning to 1-2 on their seasons. The men’s team, ranked 13th in Division III, powered over Albion with a score of 175-122. However, they fell short to seventh-ranked Washington-St. Louis 195-93.

The women’s side, ranked 16th in the nation, also topped Albion with a score of 164-117, but lost to 199-93 to Washington-St. Louis.

Junior Kurt Swieter had an impressive weekend, collecting two wins for the Tigers as he finished first in the 200-yard freestyle (1:43.72) and the 500

free (4:47.0). Additionally, he placed second in the 100 free (48.00).

Junior Mitch Davis placed second in the 100 breaststroke (59.67) and the 200 breast (2:01.26). First-year Charlie Bates also nabbed silver in the 1,650 free (16:59.49) followed by teammate junior David Freund who earned third (17:21.64).

Junior diver Eric Addy placed third in one-meter diving (247.45 pts) and fifth on the three-meter board (203.60).

Standout senior Angela Newlon set a pool record and NCAA “B” time finishing with a time of 4:33.28 in the 400yard individual medley. She also earned gold in the 200 butterfly (2:08.72).

“It is really encouraging seeing fast swims in season to prepare the team for the bigger meets coming up,” said senior Kirsten Olson.

Sophomore Mary Woods brought in another win for

DePauw, touching first in the 200 breakstroke (2:30.24), while first-year Shelby Whitt placed second in the 1,650 free (18:38.63).

Senior Annie Graves, Woods, Newlon, and first-year Olivia Neff came together for a 200 medley relay, earning second with a time of 1:51.19. The 400 free relay of senior Ellen Riehle, Olson, first-year Allison Lund, and Woods came in second as well at 3:43.68.

Sophomore Elaine Davis placed second in one-meter diving with 216.30 points.

“Coming off a week of hard training, we faced two top tier D3 teams and I was very pleased with the team’s performance and morale,” Swieter said.

“Personally, I had one of the best in-season (non-taper) meets and dropped some times that I normally wouldn’t see until I was shaved, tapered, and in a racing suit.”

Sophomore Trey Berry looks ahead at preparing for

upcoming competition. “In the pool, we will not be doing any special preparation for this meet, keeping practice times and intensity consistent with the rest of the season,” Berry said. “Out of the pool, however, we are preparing by keeping a closer eye on how much sleep we’re getting and what kind of food we’re eating. It’s the little things like those that will give us an edge.”

Despite the loss to Washington-St. Louis, Woods was not deterred and optimistic for the rest of the season.

“At this point in the season it can be hard to compete since everyone is tired and we aren’t competing on any rest; so beating Albion was good for us,” Woods said. “We weren’t expecting to beat Washington University and actually were pretty surprised about how well our relays faired against theirs, especially the 200 medley relay.”

The home meet was the first

for women’s head coach Shea Davisson who was hired in August after former coach Ben Hewitt resigned.

“Coming back to school not knowing them was kind of daunting, probably more so for the incoming freshmen,” said senior Maggie Lomasney. “Shae and Jim (assistant coach) have also been doing a great job of communicating with every one of us swimmers to make sure we’re all on the same page.

Regardless of knowing them since beginning school this year, they’re doing a phenomenal job working with us and I think as a team, we’re excited for the midseason meet and the rest of the season to come.”

The men’s team competes at Wabash College on Friday, Nov. 4, while the women pick back up on Nov. 18-20 at the Phoenix Fall Classic hosted by the University of Chicago.

Field hockey extends win streak to 10, wins regular season title

BY FOSTER WHITLOCK Staff Writer sports@thedepauw.com

The DePauw University field hockey team won the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) regular season title after a 3-1 win over Earlham College last Wednesday.

The win secured the Tiger’s a No. 1 seed in the NCAC tournament ensuring them home field advantage through the tournament.

The Tigers got off to a quick start in the game, scoring in the third minute with a goal from junior forward Reilly Bruce.

DePauw would keep up the scoring momentum, as they came back to score less than two minutes later, this time from first-year forward Kate

Milner.

DePauw continued their offensive pressure, scoring the third goal of the half in the 19th minute, with Milner nabbing her second tally of the game.

The Tigers would hold Earlham scoreless through the rest of the first half and entered halftime up 3-0.

In the second half, Kaitlyn Brunner scored a goal for Earlham, but the Tigers would hold on for the win. The Tigers outshot Earlham 22-9 and sophomore goalie Sarah Foye had two saves for the Tigers as she improved to 11-1 on the season.

Milner led the team scoring two goals and assisting on another one.

“We were very confident going into the game, and that made us come out strong

those first few minutes and score early,” Milner said.

“Throughout the whole season we have been talking about how the team that shows up ready to work the hardest each game will be the team to win.”

Having already clinched the title, DePauw was able to go into their final regular season match at Ohio Wesleyan University without any pressure. However, the Tigers were able to continue their win streak and go into the NCAC tournament with momentum, defeating Ohio Wesleyan 7-3.

The Tigers had goals from junior forward Paige Berliner, Milner, sophomore midfielder Rose Revolinski, and first-year forward Alexa Steil. Berliner finished the regular season with a team-high of 19 goals.

The Tigers’ success on the

field is in large part due to the team’s mindset and preparation said senior midfielder Addie Ball. “Every time we step on the field our goal is to go out there and play together and have fun,” Ball said. “We don’t worry about the other opponent or how they play, we focus on our game and what we need to do to get the job done.”

DePauw finished the regular season with an overall record of 16-3 and 13-1 in the NCAC and will go into the NCAC tournament riding a 10-game win streak.

Senior defense Annie Wyman was happy about the team’s accomplishments so far, but has her eyes set on the NCAC tournament title. “We’re not settling with the regular season title, we want both,” Wyman said. “At this point in

the season, we’ve practiced all that we can, we know what we have to do.”

“Going into the tournament, we are really only focusing on one game and one practice at a time,” Milner said. “At this point in the season any game can be our last one.”

The Tigers will host Wittenberg University for the NCAC conference tournament semifinals today.

If victorious, DePauw will host the championship game on Saturday, Nov. 5, for a chance to win a guaranteed spot in the NCAA tournament.

The conference tournament begins this week with the semifinals taking place on Wednesday and the finals on Saturday. The Tigers travel to Gambier, Ohio where they will take on No. 1 seed Kenyon College.

The Tigers have had much success against the Lords lately, winning their last two meetings including a 2-1 victory early this season. With a win the Tigers would have a shot of redemption against either Wabash College or Oberlin College, two teams who the Tigers fell to in regular season play.

“To do well in the tournament, we just need to keep the mentality that every game could be our last,” Gonzalez said, “Leave everything we have out on the field and just play our game.”

The Tigers face Kenyon on Wednesday at 2:30 p.m.. The game can be viewed on the DePauw athletics website.

DePauw knocks off undefeated Denison 30-16

By Foster Whitlock Sports Writer sports@thedepauw.com

Denison University was handed their first loss of the season compliments of the Tigers in a 30-16 victory on Saturday.

The Tigers improved to 6-2 overall and 5-2 in the NCAC, while Denison dropped to 7-1 and 6-1 in the NCAC. DePauw took the lead with 10 minutes in the first quarter with a 19-yard field goal from senior kicker Marko Adams.

In the drive following a missed field goal from Denison, senior quarterback Matt Hunt threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to his brother, sophomore wide receiver Andy Hunt. Matt Hunt then connected with junior wide receiver Ben Wilson on a 37-yard pass to put the Tigers up 17-0 with 4:41 to play in the second quarter.

Denison got on the scoreboard with 31-yard touchdown catch by Ryan Roberts off of a pass from Canaan Gebele with just over a minute before the half. However, DePauw was able to quickly respond with a 65-yard drive, and capped it off with a six-yard touchdown pass from Hunt to junior wide receiver Nolan Ayres to go into the half up 24-7.

With 5:58 left in the third quarter, the Tigers scored another touchdown, this time off of a 37-yard run from Matt Hunt.

However, the extra point was blocked by Denison and returned

by Joel Louhoua, for two points.

With 2:20 left in the fourth quarter and DePauw already in a comfortable lead, Denison scored a touchdown off of a four-yard pass from Tommy Iammarino to David Weimar.

One major key to DePauw’s victory over the Big Red was DePauw’s stifling defense. The

Tigers tallied four interceptions and had six sacks. DePauw also held Denison to only 12 rushing yards.

“We had a tough loss the week before against Ohio Wesleyan so we were ready to get back out on the field and play the way we

know we are capable of,” Adams said. “We’ve played Denison well all four years that I’ve been here so it was nice to hand them another loss this weekend especially with it being our last go around at Blackstock.”

Both Adams and Hunt were

encouraged by the teamwork the saw on the field last weekend and are positive about team’s current level of play. “I think everyone took it upon themselves to do their job which helped us come out firing,” Hunt said on about the Tigers fast start.

Hunt and the rest of the team are looking forward to finishing out the rest of the season strong.

“This was a big win for us to give us momentum going into these next two weeks,” Hunt said.

“It should be a great two weeks, and we are all excited about the opportunity in front of us.”
