Too close to call: Trump leads with 266

Junior Laura Hawes puts her head down in disappointment as she watches the results of the election in the PCCM. SAM CARAVANA / THE DEPAUW BY BROOKS HEPP & RACHEL MAY news@thedepauw.com

Donald Trump had 266 electoral votes to Hillary Clinton’s 218 as reported by Politico at the time of publication. The remaining states are Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New Hampshire, Arizona and Alaska where it was judged too close to call. All through election night, a group of Trump supporters huddled around a single

laptop diligently watching as the results rolled in during the D3TV election party. First-year, Eric Boylan, said that he had a lot of faith that Trump would win. “He taps into what people are looking for and how they’ve been deceived by the left,” Boylan said. “He has no political record, and no record is better than a bad record I think.” After midnight, victory for Trump became more and more likely eventually surpassing a 95 percent likeli-

hood that he would win according to the New York Times. With the prediction, the group of students started smiling and joking. “I’m pretty happy,” said first-year Caleb O’Brien. “I’ll be honest, I might cry tonight.” Just one table over, sophomore Bri Douglas sat quietly watching the TV screen with a disappointed look on her face. “I’m terrified right now,” she said. Douglas found the results surprising because she remembered talking in class

about the possibilities of Trump winning, and they seemed slim. “I think a lot of people on campus will be very disappointed,” she said. “We’re obviously a very liberal school.” The night began with laughter and casual conversations at the D3TV party in the Pulliam Center for Contemporary Media. Students voted in an online form entitled, “DePauw Picks the President,” ate free pizza, and listened to music in the lobby decorated with red and

blue streamers and starshaped balloons. However, as the race continued, morale lowered significantly. Many students seemed visibly worried as they sat gazing at the screens of their phones, computers and the large TV that showcased election coverage on four different channels at once. The race was close. When asked how she CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

was feeling, senior Lizzy Gering said, “I don’t think I can put my feelings into words right now.” President of DePauw’s College Republicans, sophomore Anna Cron, was also anxious. “I’m excited about Ohio, but still nervous about Florida, North Carolina, and Michigan,” she said. As of 9:15 p.m. Professor of Political Science, Bruce Stinebrickner, said there were no big presidential bombshells yet, but he was surprised by the Indiana senate and gubernatorial races. Republican Todd Young won the senate seat over Democrat Evan Bayh. “It’s quite surprising that Young beat Bayh so quickly,” said Stinebrickner. “In this race, it seemed like Bayh was the real favorite, but Young is up by 12 percentage points.” Young’s victory doesn’t help the Democratic Party’s attempt to take control of the senate. Stinebrickner said the loss was definitely a setback but not a death sentence for the party. Stinebrickner was also shocked by Republican Eric Holcomb’s victory over Democrat John Gregg for governor. “I thought it would be more 50/50 but that Gregg would be the favorite,” he said. Holcomb won by eight percentage points. “That’s a surprise,” Stinebrickner

said. “Ouch for the Democrats.” Professor of political science, Darby Morrisroe, believed Trump had a tougher path to winning the election. “For Donald Trump to win he will have to win Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, and New Hampshire,” Morris-

roe said in her voting analysis forum at 10:00 p.m..“If he loses one of these, it will be near impossible for him to win.” The race took a major turn when Trump pulled out three of those victories in Florida, Ohio and North Carolina, but he still needed other victories to pull

off the upset. More than an hour later, Trump took Pennsylvania and its 20 electoral votes “I wasn’t really that surprised,” said junior Drew Anderson. “There’s a silent majority. Trump got a lot of people to vote who don’t normally vote.”

Official Greek recruitment dates are confirmed BY ALEXA JENKINS Staff Writer news@thedepauw.com

After a date change was announced in August, the official schedule for Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic recruitment has been finalized. The Panhellenic recruitment process is scheduled to begin on Friday, Jan. 27 and will consist of six 45 minute rounds. On Saturday, Jan. 28 there will be four 50 minute rounds and finally on Sunday, Jan. 29, there will be two, one hour rounds followed by bid night. In past years, Panhellenic recruitment has lasted four days instead of three. The Interfraternity Council Recruitment (IFC) is scheduled to commence on Thursday Jan. 26, and include nine 25 minute visits. The second day on Friday will consist of five 50 minute rounds and will conclude Saturday, Jan. 28, with

two one hour and ten minute visits followed by bid night. “Before classes start there will be no stress, if it was like it was last year I feel like I’d be really stressed out with the beginning of the school year and rush as well,” said first-year Maddie Lombardo. Campus Living and Development Coordinator, Nick Stepaniak, views the change as promising. “Moving it up two days will be beneficial because there will be no dead week in between so students won’t be talking to people in between the recruitment times so they’ll be able to make decisions faster and not have that week interfering with their academics,” Stepaniak said. Some students sympathize with those who have to miss recruitment due to winter term return dates, but feel the change as still being beneficial for DePauw students. “I think that rush being earlier

definitely is unfair for the people who want to go on winter terms, but I think while looking at the bigger perspective of the semester, being able to rush earlier and being able to start the semester off in whatever house you’re in provides a longer and better experience,” said first-year Julia Bork. Stepaniak said early recruitment not only benefits underclassmen, but upperclassmen as well, “Looking at it from an upper classman standpoint, some of those classes you have to do prep work, so they won’t be practicing, doing recruitment, and then working on homework into the late night.” Upperclassmen in sororities are pleased with the change. “I think it gives the girls less amount of time to be stressed out,” said sophomore, Regan Giesting, “And that way they really get to learn about themselves in a short period of time and just

really embrace it.” Fraternity upperclassmen are happy that recruitment will not leak over into Sunday, allowing them to have their bid nights on Saturday as they have in past years. “I think Saturday night is good given some of the traditions that some of the houses have,” said senior Akil Davis. “If it were on Sunday, any events that may carry on through the night would affect classwork and people’s lives throughout the week.” Alternative recruitment will be held, but the dates have not been decided. After the official opening of Greek property on Oct. 28 , some firstyears are excited to embark on the next journey of choosing a Greek chapter without the first week of school distracting them from their decision, “I can focus solely on rush and figuring out what house would be best for me instead of worrying about school work,” Lombardo said.

McCoy annouces tuition increase at faculty meeting BY EMMA MAZUREK News Editor news@thedepauw.com

A 2.9 percent tuition increase was announced by President Mark McCoy at the monthly faculty meeting Nov. 7. McCoy helped start the faculty meeting by announcing that the Board of Trustees had approved a tuition increase of almost three percent. Tuition increased by 3.9 percent during the 20162017 school year and 4.5 percent in the 2015-2016 school year According to McCoy, selecting how much to increase tuition was almost like a balancing act. “The reason it is that number is that we do not want to make signals, so if we suddenly drop the tuition too much people will think things are going terribly at DePauw, if we raise it too much, people think college is too expensive, we’re not going to go,” McCoy said. The tuition increase was lower than past years by design, said McCoy. Because the tuition raise is smaller than last year ’s, students are not feeling as upset about it. “It’s actually not as bad, so it’s a lower increase than last year ” said sophomore, Kylee Rippy. “I understand that a lot of people are really upset about it, but we have to understand that every college increases their tuition every year and

Unfinished stairwell in Lilly causes concern for kinesiology department BY EMMANUEL KWAKYE Staff Writer news@thedepauw.com

An unfinished room in the back stairwell of the Welch Fitness Center is the designated study space for over 50 kinesiology majors at DePauw University. The space has been unfinished since 2014 when construction on Welch ended. If the stairwell was to be completed, it would serve as a new entrance and study area for the Kinesiology Department and its students. According to Stevie Baker-Watson, associate vice president for campus wellness and the director of athletics, the cost of finishing the

stairwell and the area is around $250,000, but the renovations are not expected soon. “There are other projects that have a higher priority on campus,” said Baker-Watson. “I’m not aware that it will be finished soon.” While the Lilly center was updated with the construction of Welch, the stairwell and study area for the Kinesiology Department was overlooked, and members of the department would like the now two-year project to be completed as soon as possible. “We keep asking and would like to see it done,” said Thomas Ball, professor of kinesiology. Kinesiology students also shared their frustrations with the uncompleted project.

“When you have other science buildings with completed departments, it just makes you think about how DePauw’s not finishing construction in the Kinesiology Department,” said Zach Batt, a sophomore kinesiology major. James Patrick Babington, associate professor of kinesiology and chair of the department, said the delay is due to finances. “It stopped because the University ran out of money,” Babington said. “Most of the costs for completing that section of the Kinesiology Department went to costs associated with the equipment in the fitness room.” The unfinished area provides many challenges

to the students and faculty who occupy the space daily. Both students and faculty can exit the building through the space, though only faculty have keys to the back door. In order to get to the space, students must walk through the main Welch Fitness entrance or the main Lily entrance in order to have access to kinesiology labs and faculty offices. Initially, the area was meant to have a card system so students could have easy access to the department and the envisioned study area. Because the card system was deactivated, a key is required to allow faculty and students to enter through that area of the building, creating an inconvenience for everyone

involved. “It’s an inconvenience because the door is locked so if you want to talk to professors you have to walk all the way around to the main gym doors,” said Nicholas Tobar, a senior kinesiology major. “If they were able to build a brand new dining hall, then they should be able to finish it, the cost doesn’t even compare.” The area, in combination with the hallway, is also where many senior kinesiology students have their final presentations, which worries some students. “It’s around that area where the senior seminars are,” Batt said. “It doesn’t look good.”

Two bias incidents being investigated BY THE DEPAUW STAFF news@thedepauw.com

On the first weekend first-years were allowed on Greek property, two separate biased incidents were reported at two different fraternities. Six students of color were asked to leave a fraternity party, for reasons these students believe to be racially motivated. A student who identifies as LGBTQ alleges he was pulled out of another fraternity’s chapter house by the wrist. Both of these events happened on Saturday, Oct. 29. Angela Nally, director of Public Safety, sent out an email on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning informing students of the situation. The email clarified that these incidents occurred at two separate fraternities. However, both incidents will be undergoing investigations, and all parties have been contacted. First-year Angie Mendez was a member of the group that was asked to leave the fraternity. According to Mendez the group of first-years signed their names at the door and then, after they entered the courtyard at Phi Delta Theta, were told to leave. “They basically herded us out,” said first-year Morgan Lavant who was a part of the group. First-year Kaleb Anderson who

was a member of the group said he was not surprised this happened, but it won’t stop him from going to Greek chapters on the weekends. “It’s not going to stop me from going to Greek parties, but it is going to stop me from going to certain parties,” Anderson said. “It just showed me that certain places aren’t meant for me to attend, and certain people are always going to be thinking certain ways.” Lavant said what happened to her and her friends has happened before to other people. “There’s been other instances and cases and I haven’t seen any results or I haven’t seen anything that has happened,” Lavant said. “I think this also needs to be addressed by DePauw in general, because even before attending we were told by several upperclassmen that there have been several racial incidents that happened on Greek property,” Anderson said. In addition, the students were not happy with the University’s response. “They loved saying biased incident, which I personally have an issue with because it was based on our race,” Lavant said. “I feel like it’s not acknowledging the problem, which I think is a problem with DePauw.” The students did not feel that the Biased Incident Response Team (BIRT) or Public Safety was helpful

to solving the issues. “If you were that concerned and wanted to fix the issue, you would ask us as a whole when we are available and where we would feel comfortable to meet,” Anderson said. According to first-year Kamil Hester who was a part of the incident, she had difficulty meeting with the BIRT or Public Safety. “There was a lot of ‘I’ll be at this place at this time,’ but every time they offered me a date or time I would be in class, every time,” Hester said. “We haven’t gotten any emails about what they are doing to further the investigation and I haven’t heard anything from IFC, which I also CC’ed in the email and I feel like that is a problem,” said Anderson. “That lets me know that all of the Greeks under IFC don’t deal with these problems.” “In one of the emails they sent to us personally, they said that they demanded us to leave, but in the email they sent out to everybody they said they asked us to leave, as if it was like a peaceful interaction and they were misrepresenting what actually happened,” said firstyear Cailey Griffin. The student who identifies as LGBTQ and reported a bias incident at Alpha Tau Omega has not come forward to openly discuss the incident.

In addition, BIRT will be meeting with both the student who identifies as LGBTQ as well as the six students of color. “Staff will be available today in the Cultural Resource Center to provide support and information to anyone in our DePauw community,” Nally wrote in her email. When asked, Nally had advice for students in similar situations to follow. “The first incident [where the LGBTQ student was pulled from a fraternity] has an aspect of a policy violation and or potential criminal violation, so in those instances, either if it’s an emergency you can dial 911 or you can call Public Safety,” said Nally. “In the second instance [6 students of color being asked to leave a fraternity], students felt like they were denied access to something due to someone’s bias against their race, and that might be more of a BIRT call, just because there is no physical danger, no threats.” Public Safety has spoken with the leadership of both fraternities. “They have been very cooperative and helpful,” Nally said. When asked to comment, President of Alpha Tau Omega, senior Michael Perry said, “Since an investigation is still ongoing, I should refrain from commenting on any details at this time, in respect for the investigative process.”

In addition, the president of Phi Delta Theta, junior Jonathan Rotman said, “The members of Phi Delta Theta Indiana Zeta do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation or disability. We remain steadfast supporters of DePauw’s initiatives in unifying students, alumni, faculty, staff, and the surrounding community. This chapter is cooperating fully with the University in an inquiry and will have no further comment until concluded.” Nally could not compare these situations to the biased incident that happened in Humbert Hall earlier this year. “The bias incident that happened in Humbert, we did not have any identifying information for the accused, so that pretty much was a search for the entire investigation trying to find who was responsible,” said Nally. “This is different because that person is already identified.” Nally felt that each situation would need to be handled in a different manner, but the investigations should be relatively quick. If anyone has information on this incident Nally said to contact Public Safety. “Even if you don’t know, just call us,” Nally said. “We’ll help get the information to the people it needs to go to.”

ConnectUS App makes event planning on campus easier BY BRYTTNI CARPENTER Staff Writer news@thedepauw.com

Instead of taping posters across campus, student organizations at DePauw University can now publicize their events through an app. ConnectUS is an app available to DePauw students and student organizations that allows organizations to post events taking place across campus. The app came about through a collaboration between DePauw Student Government (DSG) and senior Kevin Keene. After talking with members of the campus community, Keene saw that the campus needed a way to make students aware of events happening on

campus. ConnectUS was created to be an online forum where students can subscribe to clubs they want to view. Keene said it gives student leaders an outlet for their events to improve attendance and awareness. Student Body President, senior Claire Halffield was approached by Keene at the end of last year to develop the app. “We needed a way for students to find out about what was happening on campus and to reduce the over scheduling of events,” Halffield said. The app was funded through savings and grants that were awarded to Keene. “I received the Social Entrepreneur grant through Prindle and added that to the money I saved and what DSG gave me, which gave me enough to

start development,” Keene said. “Since it is a long term project, I expect more money will be put into the app as it gets developed.” Keene spent all summer working with a team to develop the vision he had for the app. ConnectUS launched in late September at a DSG meeting and is currently ready to be used by the student body. Students can download the app and login with their DePauw email and any password, according to Halffield. “They now have access to all organizations that are posting their events,” Halffield said. Students can subscribe to the organizations that interest them, and those are the events that will show up on their newsfeed. Halffield also mentioned that students can subscribe to tags and

any event that is posted on that tag will also show up. Currently, a majority of the students who use the app are in student organizations. For each organization that uses the app, there are about 10-15 students who make use of it, according to Keene. Keene was unaware of how many students outside of the these organizations have downloaded ConnectUS. First-year Senator, Kate Flynn wants to see more organizations using the app. “It’s easier to keep track of when events like sports games and club events are occurring because I can just check my app,” Flynn said. President of the Asia Club, senior Di Shao, is still trying to figure out how the best way to use the app to get the word

out about her events. “It’s not that people aren’t interested in Asian cultures,” Shao said. “We think more people would come if they knew about it.” Future versions of the app are already being developed according to Keene. The app has already been updated once to include a full calendar with events filled in based on a student’s interests. “Eventually we want to allow push notifications to go to student’s phones when a new activity is created or when an activity is happening so more people go,” Keene said. Keene expects the number of people using the app to grow as more people hear about it.“It’s an app meant for the student body,” Keene said. “What they want, we can aim to provide for them.”

Peace Works allows students a break from high-tech lives BY EMMA MACANALLY Staff Writer features@thedepauw.com

There is a new program on campus aimed at helping students bring peace and clarity to their lives. Peace Works is a new program created in connection to the Hartman House to provide a low-tech, high-touch atmosphere for the community. The program was spearheaded by Kate Smanik, assistant dean of students for spirituality, service, and social justice as well as Coordinator of the Compton Center for Peace and Justice, Valerie Rudolph. “Peace Works was [Valerie’s] idea for that kind of program,” Smanik said, “something that would help participants think about how to bring peace into their life and into their communities in tangible ways.” The bi-monthly meetings will be led by a different staff member from the Hartman House, so one can expect each installment to have a different feel. However, Smanik ensured that every Peace Works meeting will include cozy space, good conversation and delicious food. “I think it’s a healthy alternative for students to destress,” said sophomore Natalie Bennett. Senior Sophie Mazurek thinks that the Peace Works program and its low technological approach will be very beneficial to students. “I think that a lot of times, people focus too much on the future...especially at DePauw,” Mazurek said. “So for people to take the time to focus on things besides work, I’m sure it will help a lot to get their mind off of stressors.” The topic of discussion at the first Peace Works event, chosen by Smanik herself, was the role of play in creating peace. Attendees explored the idea of play “as a way to generate new ideas, a time to connect in joyful

ways with others, as something that allows us to tap into our own, sometimes hidden, identities,” Smanik said. This discussion was, of course, accompanied by cupcakes and coloring. Although Peace Works is still getting off the ground, Rudolph thinks it has the potential to grow into an important space for reflection and community building. Since the Hartman House is home to a number of diverse programs, Smanik said Peace Works can be a great middle ground for inclusive conversation. “My hope is that this event allows new students to connect with our work,” Smanik said. “If it is successful, I can imagine that in the coming years we will invite faculty and staff outside of our area to share their ‘peace works’.”

PHOTO COURTESY OF CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND WEBSITE BY SUSIE SCHMANK Features Columnist features@thedepauw.com

October was filled with album releases from Jagwar Ma, Tycho, Solange and Kings of Leon, but the one that I’m playing on repeat is Danny Brown’s “Atrocity Exhibition.” You won’t be hitting snooze after setting a track from this album as your alarm tone. Detroit rapper Danny Brown has maintained his impressive rhyming ability, incorporated surprising sounds, and collaborated to create an outstanding and addictive fifteentrack album, released Sept. 27 by Warp Records. The LP, named after Joy Division’s song (and not so much after J.G. Ballard’s novel), is full of duality and energy. Unlike Tycho or Jagwar Ma, “Atrocity Exhibition” is not something I would recommend as a calming, peaceful study album. But, if you are interested in manically reorganizing your room, hosting

an aggressive pre-game party, shotgunning a Mountain Dew, or running seven miles at a full sprint, the ball of energy that is “Atrocity Exhibition” should do the trick. This album is not a backgroundnoise album. Listeners must go all-in by playing each track at the loudest possible volume to truly appreciate it. Vocal collaborators on “Atrocity Exhibition” include Petite Noir, Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, Earl Sweatshirt, Kelela, and B-Real. Sheldon Pierce of Pitchfork magazine describes the track “Really Doe,” produced by Black Milk and featuring Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, Earl Sweatshirt, as a “track of reunions,” assembling Brown with three former collaborators plus Earl for an even darker flavor. Consider tracks “Ain’t It Funny,” “Dance in the Water” and “When It Rain” for maximum doses of oomph. Be sure to tune into WGRE 91.5 on your radio, computer or phone to listen to (appropriate radio-edited) Danny Brown.

It’s not the end of the world To say the 2016 presidential election has been disheartening is an understatement. This campaign has been gruesome, disgusting and incredibly exhausting. No candidates in recent history have been so hated going into election day. The 2008 election was filled with ideas of hope for the future and faith in America, but this election has focused on the negatives. When Barack Obama was elected, it was a historical moment. The first African American president, it was a game changer and a sign of progress. As this election cycle ends, we are faced with another historical moment, but this one lacks the enthusiasm and the love. This election has strained this country. It has pushed us to our limits and pushed us against each other. But the election is over now. What has been over two years of campaigning and mudslinging and anxiety inducing madness is over. Take some time today to enjoy the fact that life will return to normal, and deal with the decisions our nation has made. It is time for America to heal. To begin to bandage our ideological wounds and come together to create a stronger country, and a united front dedicated to the success of our people. We are no longer Republicans or Democrats we are simply Americans. While president-elect Trump’s slogan is “Make America Great Again,” we encourage the public and politicians to take that a step further. We ask you to follow Vernon Jordan’s advice and “make America greater than it has ever been before.” In four years there will be another presidential election, and it is up to us to make sure it is not as horrific as this one.

Puerto Rico: la isla del encanto BY MARIA MENDEZ Web Editor opinions@thedepauw.com

Votes have been cast and United States citizens have elected their next president, or at least most United States citizens. A few miles from Florida, there’s a small island that consists of 3.5 million Puerto Ricans who did not vote in the United States election, even though they are all American citizens. As a territory of the United States, Puerto Rico does not have active representation in the Federal Government and therefore cannot vote for congressmen, senators, or the President of the United States. As a result, people who are not elected by the citizens of Puerto Rico decide the supreme law of the land. However, we can vote in the primaries and we do send delegates to the Republican and Democratic Conventions to cast our votes, but that’s it. After that it’s over, and in the general election we just sit idly and wait to be told what once again

was decided for us. This has been Puerto Rico’s reality since 1898, when the United States conquered the territory from Spain during the Spanish-American War. In the year 1917, the United States granted Puerto Ricans American citizenship and almost 100 years later people who are supposedly considered American citizens cannot participate in the democracy of the United States. I grew up in the midst of this political situation, even though I was not always aware of it. I remember the day I realized that we are not allowed to vote for the President and the frustration I felt that day has stayed with me ever since. When elections come around every four years, this frustration is multiplied: I cannot understand how 3.5 million citizens that have American citizenship are not allowed to vote for their Commander in Chief by the same country that asks them to fight in their wars. Most recently, things have gotten

worse as President Barack Obama signed into law a bill known by its acronym PROMESA (Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act), which means ‘promise’ in Spanish. PROMESA was created to help combat Puerto Rico’s debt of $72,000,000,000, and states that a fiscal control board will take over the fiscal decisions of where the government will distribute its funds. The main concern with PROMESA is that it will not help to restructure Puerto Rico’s economy, only solve the debt problem. While the debt problem is hindering Puerto Rico’s growth, what happens after? How are we going to prevent Puerto Rico from falling into debt once again? PROMESA was also chosen by the U.S. Congress, Senate and President so once again we had no say in the decisions that affect us. Does that sound like democracy to you?

A tale of two seeds: Monsanto vs. Dicamba Kiara Goodwine Earlier this year, biotech corporation Monsanto released its first ever dicamba-resistant strain of seeds. This wouldn’t be unusual if not for the fact that the use of dicamba on genetically modified crops is illegal in all 50 states. Dicamba is a chemical found in herbicides that disrupts hormonal functions in certain types of plants in order to kill them and is legally sold for controlling lawn weeds. It is known for its ability to drift rapidly after application, as well as its high toxicity to non-modified soybeans. FeXapan, an herbicide made for genetically modified crops that contain dicamba, is currently under review by the EPA. However, Monsanto released its “Xtend” seeds before the completion of the EPA’s FeXapan review. Naturally, farmers that wanted to increase their yields and profits purchased the Xtend seeds and began illegally applying herbicides that contained dicamba that was not made for widespread use. The biggest problem with farmers’ use of dicamba on Xtend seeds was

not just its illegality, but how it has been affecting neighboring farmers that chose not to buy and use Xtend seeds. Since dicamba is extremely toxic to unmodified versions of soybeans, including Monsanto’s commonly used Roundup Ready varieties, farmers not using Xtend or dicamba have been suffering the consequences of their neighbor’s illegal actions. What was a simple dispute for many farmers over two different types of seeds, has suddenly become a serious, and deadly, matter. On Oct. 27, Mike Wallace was killed after a confrontation regarding his neighbor’s use of the pesticide Dicamba turned violent. Since the release of Xtend, thousands of acres of soybeans have been destroyed across Arkansas, Tennessee, and Missouri. Though Monsanto warns against the use of dicamba on its website, it does so directly below its description of its newly available dicamba-resistant soybeans. Further proof that such a dependency was orchestrated is the fact that Monsanto has invested over $1 billion in the production of dicamba, though its use on genetically modified crops is still illegal. If Monsanto truly did intend to create a dependency on a product that required an illegal pesticide, it arguably holds some moral responsibility for the death of

Mike Wallace and the economic hardship that other farmers have faced as a result of crop damage from dicamba drift. Monsanto denies it attempted to orchestrate a dependency, and a spokeswoman for Monsanto claims that they took “extensive steps” to clearly communicate to farmers the illegality of using dicamba on Xtend seeds. Farmers are so desperate for a solution to the weed problem that many have offered to pay dicamba fines up front to state regulators. Additionally, Monsanto’s U.S. release of Xtend was perfectly legal, considering its approval by the USDA last year. Perhaps the responsibility of dicamba drift is more of a bureaucratic failure on behalf of the USDA and the EPA since Xtend was legalized before dicamba was. Whether or not Monsanto is morally complicit in the dicamba wars is considered unimportant to farmers who are facing the harsh realities of this year’s harvest. Unless the EPA heavily regulates dicamba, or there is a breakthrough in weed-resistance technology, it appears as though the only option moving forward is for farmers to use dicamba, whether legal or not. It will be farmers who follow the law who continue to bear the brunt of the dicamba wars.

DePauw students celebrate Cub’s World Series victory against the Indians BY DAVID KOBE Sports Editor sports@thedepauw.com

“I’m honestly giddy with excitement,” said Zack Wade, senior catcher for DePauw University’s baseball team. “This has never happened before and I just hope they can close out the game.” Wade’s dream and the dream of hundreds of DePauw students came true as Kris Bryant fielded the final out to first baseman Anthony Rizzo. “It was surreal and almost hard to believe,” said Jeff Collins, a senior Chicago Cubs fan and Chicago native. “I needed to make sure that the play

had actually happened before I could celebrate. Right after that I called my dad and the only thing I could say was ‘this is ridiculous’.” The Fluttering Duck was almost at capacity as students gathered to experience the ups and downs of the contest. Cubs fans applauded the first at-bat when Dexter Fowler hit a home run to debut the game and they bit their nails with anxiety when Rajai Davis tied the game in the bottom of the ninth inning. Finally, the chorus of “Go Cubs Go” echoed throughout the establishment as DePauw students, Cubs fans, and Chicagoans celebrated history. The Cubs stood out the entire season as one of the best teams in baseball and, from the very

beginning, made their case that they were striving to be the best in the Major League. The Cubs were the fifth team in the history of baseball to begin the season 24-6 through their first 30 games and the other four teams went on to be World Series champions. Collins felt comfortable throughout the season even as the end of the century long curse was near. “They were the best team in baseball for most of the year, and the roster moves they made around the trading deadline, and even before the season started, all pointed that this was the year they were playing to win,” Collins said. Senior and Chicago native, Julie Block, whose Cubs fanaticism

took the form of a creatively worded “get out of class” email to her professor, Harry Brown, could not have been more excited for the victory. The email, which was featured on NBC Chicago, compared her fandom to civic duty and religious devotion. Block spent most of the week in Wrigleyville with her Cubs obsessed family. “My family has been filled with Cubs fans for as many generations as the Cubs have been in existence,” Block said. “Seeing the Cubs win it all not only made those of us who saw it proud of our identities as Chicagoans and as Cubs fans, but proud on behalf of our parents, grandparents, and great grandparents who never got to

witness a moment like this. For Cubs fans, this historical moment marked the beginning of a potentially winning era for the Cubs. With a young roster and the highest payroll in the MLB, the Cubs are poised to continue to succeed. For now, Block and Chicago fans are relishing in the euphoria of the win. “The way that the city rallied around the Cubs not just in this series, and not just this season, but for the entirety of the franchise’s history, shows how the Cubs are more than just a team to the city of Chicago,” Block said.

Tigers’ football takes down Oberlin BY LIBBY KAISER Staff Writer sports@thedepauw.com

DePauw took on Oberlin this past Saturday, racking up another win and improving to 6-2 in the North Coast Athletic Conference and 7-2 overall. The Tigers were behind after the game’s first two plays of scrimmage, but came back to win it 50-17. Oberlin quarterback Chris Herman met Justin Cruz with a pass on the game’s first play for a 70-yard completion. Following this, Kahlil Rivers ran a five-yard touchdown to move the score to 7-0 only 31 seconds into the game. The Tigers responded three minutes later with a touchdown scored by senior quarterback Matt Hunt on a three-yard run, right after he threw for 25 yards and rushed for 21. Following this, Hunt found his brother, sophomore wide receiver Andy Hunt, to

complete a 23-yard scoring pass. Senior linebacker Thomas Gray intercepted an Oberlin pass and gained 44 yards in the return process. Matt Hunt capitalized on this, finding senior wide receiver Ian Good on a 15-yard scoring pass. The Tigers propelled the lead to 20-7 with 4:30 remaining in the first quarter. During the second play of Oberlin’s next possession, sophomore cornerback Brooks Hepp intercepted an attempted pass, allowing the Tigers to gain possession at the Oberlin 35-yard line. With this, Hepp secured his sixth interception of the season. Seven plays later, senior kicker Marko Adams drove a 32-yard field goal to push DePauw’s lead to 23-7. Not long into the second quarter, Adams booted a 24yard field goal to further the lead to 26-7. However, Oberlin quarterback Zach Taylor drove 88 yards through the middle to score on third-and-four, trimming the lead to 26-14 with

10 minutes left in the half. A failed punt by DePauw allowed Oberlin to gain possession at the DePauw 17-yard line, but the Tigers defense stood their ground. The Yeomen’s Michael Leschyshyn hit a 29-yard field goal to cut the lead to 26-17. Following this, the Hunt brothers worked together for a 13-yard score, advancing the lead to 33-17 with six minutes remaining in the half. Leschyshyn failed to hit a 40yard field goal, but the half ended before DePauw was able to score. Just over a minute into the second half, senior running back Jason Kirchhoff drove 28-yards to make it 40-17. Additionally, Matt Hunt found junior wide receiver Nolan Ayres to complete a 30-yard pass play, making it 47-17. A third field goal hammered by Adams with 4:44 left, improved the Tigers to 50 total points. Adams collected his 14th field goal of the season with that kick, breaking the DePauw

single-season record. The Tigers met a school record by reaching 33 first downs, while breaking another when they ran 102 offensive plays. DePauw carried a 591371 edge in total offense yards, including 258-184 on the ground. Senior defensive lineman Pete Nelson expressed his confidence for the Monon Bell Game this coming weekend. “Being a senior, I have seen three groups of seniors not win a bell in their career,” said Nelson. “This week, DePauw can expect the bell to be brought back to Greencastle.” Junior offensive lineman Andrew Saunders elaborates on the Tigers’ plan to succeed in this coming weekend. “The plan now is to stay focused and keep the intensity high so we can get one more good week of practice in,” Saunders said. “Everybody has been working hard all season, and I think it’s important to mention the leadership we have received

from the seniors this year. They’ve been a great group of guys who have done a lot for this program in their time here. They have led by example and put in the work to bring the team to this point, so I think we’re all going to be ready to send them out with a big win and get that bell back!” Senior Tommy Gray also talks about the game against Wabash this Saturday. “Up next is the Bell Game; the best time of the year!” said Gray. “Both sides of the ball will watch plenty of film on Wabash, and come into Saturday fully ready to go.” The Tigers close regular season play on Saturday as they travel to Wabash. The 123rd Monon Bell game plans to kickoff at 1:09 p.m. in Crawfordsville.

Field hockey ends season in overtime loss to Kenyon College, 2-1

First-year Alexa Steil blows past Kenyon defense. SAM CARAVANA / THE DEPAUW By DAVID KOBE Sports Editor sports@thedepauw.com

The DePauw women’s field hockey team fell to Kenyon College 2-1 in overtime of the NCAC championship match. “Even though our season didn’t end the way that we wanted it to, we still achieved a lot and had a great year,” said first-year forward Kate Milner. “We finished first in the conference in the regular season and had an 11 game winning streak

at one point.” Katelyn Hutchinson of Kenyon scored a penalty stroke just three minutes into overtime to give the Lords the 2-1 victory over the Tigers. The Tigers’ sophomore goalie Sarah Foye made her first save in overtime, but following the penalty call, Kenyon was able to set up the game winning shot. “You can never control the officials and what they choose to call, so all we could do was our part and that’s what we did,” Foye said. “The outcome

wasn’t what we expected.” Kenyon and DePauw played evenly throughout the game, offsetting each other’s goals in the first half. The first goal came two minutes into the contest off of a penalty corner. Senior midfielder Addie Ball struck from the the top of the circle and junior forward Paige Berliner deflected the shot in for the goal. It was Berliner’s conference leading and team-high 21st goal of the season. DePauw outshot Kenyon 14-12 overall and 7-2 in the second half.

Kenyon won the corner advantage 10-9, but took all 10 of their corners in the first half while DePauw took seven in the second half. Despite the close contest, DePauw was unable to prevail in overtime. Kenyon moves to 14-6 overall and receives the automatic bid into the NCAA Championship Tournament.

Burds and sophomore midfielder Rose Revolinski were named to the NCAC All-Tournament team. In addition, Berliner was named NCAC offensive player of the year and Milner was named Newcomer of the Year along with an AllNCAC second team selection. “I was really excited when I found out I was offensive player of the year,” Berliner said. “Our conference has some really talented players, so getting the recognition meant a lot.”

2016 Election Special BY DAVID KOBE & RACHELE MILLER news@thedepauw.com

From the crowded, smogfilled city of Bejing to the bright blue harbor of Rio de Janeiro, students come from all over the world to DePauw University. This fall, these international students have followed the presidential campaign, anxiously awaiting

the results that may affect their lives in the U.S. “I have a legit fear of being deported if Donald Trump wins,” said senior Yuka Kitajima who is from Japan. “We don’t want Trump because he is like a little child. We don’t know what he is going to do.” Senior Zheng Luo began following American politics while living in Wuhan, China. From Luo’s perspective, this

election cycle is more complex than any previous one he has followed. “A lot of people don’t like Hillary or Trump, but they feel that Trump is going to be the worse choice,” Luo said. “In my view, they are the same thing.” Whether it’s Hillary Clinton’s stance on restricting China’s air pollution or Donald Trump critiquing their economy, Luo believes the candidates are just saying things to win voters’

support. “China is an emerging global power that could rival the United States,” Luo said. “Americans are afraid of that situation happening and so they talk about ‘Making America Great Again’ or focus on Chinese emissions so they can maintain their stance that the United States is the greatest country in the world.” Luo, who prides himself on his academics, is confident that he will be able to stay in the U.S. after graduation, regardless of who is elected. He plans to attend graduate school for mathematical engineering and does not see either candidate’s rhetoric as undermining his goals. He already attends DePauw through an F-1 Visa, which allows him to study in the United States for up to five years before renewal or application of a H-1B Visa. H-1B visas allow international students to become employees temporarily and is the first step in the path to obtaining a green card. Due to his studies in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), Luo believes he will have little issue getting the proper visa to stay in the country. Hillary Clinton has said throughout her campaign that she would like to increase the number of work visas and green cards available for international students majoring in STEM fields. “In terms of immigration,

This is the first American election that she has closely followed and she worries it could have a tremendous impact on immigration policy in the U.S. Li fears that under Clinton’s immigration policy, many of her friends who are majoring in things like psychology or sociology will not be able to stay in the U.S. when they graduate. As a communications major, she thinks her chances of staying in the U.S. upon graduation are lower than other students who have studied STEM. Kitajima supports Clinton

The DePauw | Election Special because of the candidate’s previous experience in international relations. The U.S. has a large presence in Japan, with more than 20 military installations in the country. Kitajima believes that Clinton, as a woman, would be more equipped to deal with the reported negative treatment of women near bases. Kitajima worries that without the U.S. military presence in Japan, their national security would be at risk. “China is one of our economic rivals and militarily China has been developing so much,” Kitajima said. “We do not feel that we will be attacked by China, but it’s nice to have America as a back-up.” Clinton also appeals to Kitajima because of her vision to bring the divided U.S. together. “I respect America’s individualism and democracy, but at the same time, we must be united to make the U.S. better,” Kitajima said.

Ranjit Singh, a junior from New Delhi, India, is a practicing Sikh. On campus, Singh feels the negative effect of prejudice and believes America would be worse off under a Trump presidency. “As a Sikh, people often confuse me and my religion with Islam, and there is nothing wrong with Islam, but I want the perception of international students to be fair and without prejudice,” Singh said. “When a candidate has said such hateful things about women, entire populations, and his opponent, I find it impossible to support them and I fear what America would look like if Trump won.” Singh emphasized the parallels between the Trump’s campaign and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s in 2014. Both had a populist message, delivered in common speech that people could relate to, and without regard for political correctness. Trump has even gone so far as to use the

Donald Trump: the entertainer who changed politics BY BROOKS HEPP news@thedepauw.com

Donald Trump was a television star, a businessman, and now a politician. This jump from entertainer to presidential candidate, along with his unique campaign tactics, may forever change the landscape of politics, media experts say. “What Donald Trump has done is keep his political message short,” said Jeff McCall, professor of communications and media studies. “He has a short playbook and it has worked because he’s never asked by the media to expand.” McCall said Trump has used news organizations to his advantage. “Trump really worked the media, especially during the primary,” McCall said. “Being so open to the media and having these large rallies were a way to gain publicity

without having to pay for advertisements.” Because of his exposure to the media, the public heard more of Trump than any other candidate. “During the entire election season, all I saw was Trump,” said sophomore Tierra Leustig. “He was all over the television.” McCall believes there are negatives to Trump’s strategy as well. “Trump was his own worst enemy at times,” McCall said. “The media covered him on a superficial level so many times because he would say things that were not important, like insults.” During this presidential election, insulting became a more prominent tactic amongst the candidates more than ever before, according to McCall. “Election seasons are always very rocky,” McCall said. “But the harshness has been taken to a different level

this year.” Matt Labus, a member of DePauw’s College Republicans chapter, believes the insults have caught the eye of young voters. “From my experience talking to other college kids, they never talk about his tax plans or health care plans,” Labus said. “They only talk about his most recent tweet about Hillary.” Leustig agrees that college students are more interested in Trump’s insults rather than his policies.“I have to definitely read up on Trump’s policies to get an understanding,” Leustig said. “But all I have to do to hear about his insults is sit down at lunch.” Trump brings in the celebrity factor into the election as well. He was the star of his reality television show, “The Apprentice”, and also made appearances on “WWE SmackDown.” Having no prior political experience

at all, he has gone straight from businessman and television star to politician. This jump from entertainer to politician harkens back to President Ronald Reagan who was an actor before entering politics. “This is quite different than Ronald Reagan,” McCall said. “Trump has gone straight from celebrity to presidential candidate.” Reagan was elected governor of California before becoming president in 1981. Labus believes Trump’s Hollywood history is intriguing to millennials voting for the first time. “All the young voters know Trump as the star of The Apprentice,” Labus said. “But they only know Hillary as the politician. Which is more exciting and intriguing?” However, since Clinton lacks the celebrity role Trump holds, she has used many celebrities to promote her candidacy. Basketball

star Lebron James and singer Katy Perry have shown up at Clinton rallies. McCall could see more celebrities taking Trump’s lead and running for political positions in future elections. “It worries me a little that the success Trump has had as a celebrity running for office will make future elections full of high-profile people who are not public servants,” McCall said. “There are already reports of Curt Schilling using his fame to run for a political position out west.” Despite Trump’s celebrity status, Labus believes our nation as a whole will still make an educated decision in the voting booth. “America is star struck to an extent,” Labus said. “But there are still enough citizens of this country that care about the real issues to look past some of these antics.”

The DePauw | Election Special

Ogieva Uwudia, first-year, not voting “I am not voting this election because politics have never really been a big thing for me, and since most voters in the United States don’t even vote in the first place, I feel like they’re just neglected, and there’s a minority of people who actually get to choose who our president will be.

The current system is flawed, and most people don’t have a voice, and I’m taking a government class, so I know this. I see not enough voting polls. I also see during the nominations, not all the states get a good say about who the candidate will be in the general election.”

Johnathon Goode, sophomore, Donald Trump “I’m voting for Donald Trump because I feel he is the best candidate to lead this country. You have Hillary Clinton who is the center of many scandals throughout her career as a politician and all the way back to her days as a lawyer. Her policies don’t change this country. People like the Democrats like to blame the Republicans for being selfish and self-centered, when you look at the Democratic policies. . . . they’re the ones enslaving people. They’re taking our freedoms and our rights and liberties away to do that.

Donald Trump brings strength and character to this country, and I believe he is going to be the best economically, as he is a businessman. He knows how to make money, and he also knows how to work with others. I have been a Trump supporter since day one. If Hillary wins, this country has a lot coming. I believe there could be a civil meltdown, a civil war, in this country if Hillary wins because she wants to take so many of our rights away, and people are going to stand up to that like the NRA, the three percenters and many other groups.”

Shaili Kumar, first-year, Hillary Clinton “She’s a Democrat, and I’m a Democrat. I also don’t like Trump and his idea of building the wall.”

Natu McCarthy junior, Hillary Clinton “I am voting for Donald Trump, and I would say that his fiscal policies and government spending more line up with my ideologies. I started off as a Rubio fan. I’m surprised Hillary and Donald Trump are both the candidates that we’re working with. I know we have a third party, but if we’re being honest, no, we don’t. I don’t think that I want to live in a nation

“I believe she has a lot of experience, and I don’t stand for divisive rhetoric. Voting and exercising your rights are very important because people look at policies nowadays and always complain about them, but they don’t

where Hillary Clinton is president. There are some very radical things that Donald Trump says also, but as far as where my voting has always, or my ideologies, has always been with the GOP. He does deviate from that a little bit, so I don’t want to say I agree with everything he says, but I’d rather vote conservative than for Hillary Clinton.”

stand up to actually vote for who’s going to represent them. I feel like it [the election] is lot of bickering and not really focused on the issues at hand. It felt like a soap opera during the debates, but a lot is at stake.”

Accusations of media bias reveal mixed evidence the media has to analyze its own coverage,” McCall said. “They need to look at the number of stories they’re doing, and assess Since being nominated the tone of them and find ways in July, Republican nominee to provide an accurate balance Donald Trump has railed to what is going on out there against the media, claiming it is and that doesn’t mean there biased against him and working has to be a one-to-one balance. to protect and promote his If someone is generating more Democratic opponent, Hillary negative news than positive at a certain point, you just have to Clinton. According to a Quinnipiac cover that.” McCall also attributes the University poll published on Oct. 19, Trump isn’t the only disparity in media coverage to one who thinks the media laziness. He said that the media industry fails to be objective. reported Trump’s controversial In the poll, 55 percent of statements instead of taking the participants said they believe time to sift through thousands of Clinton’s emails released the media is biased.

him, he has received close to twice the amount of mentions on TV networks than Clinton, according to analysis by Television News Archive. Trump has garnered close to 1.1 million mentions compared to Clinton’s 600,000. Ikwuakor argues that despite Trump’s criticism of the industry, extensive media coverage helped Trump earn the Republican nomination.“Trump has benefitted a lot from the media,” Ikwuakor said. “I think that the media has pushed the narrative that the people want this anti-establishment politician so, especially in the primaries, he kind of knocked

out a bunch of different candidates just because he was anti-establishment.” The media has bigger shortcomings this election cycle than bias, according to Ikwuakor. “Every American who has followed the media should be able to tell you the policy positions of each candidate, but I don’t think they can because the media is too focused on Hillary Clinton’s emails or what Donald Trump said on a bus,” Ikwuakor said. “Two presidential candidates talk for 90 minutes. They cover a range of topics, and for four days after, all we can talk about is an insult to a beauty

contestant 20 years ago,” McCall said. “That is where I think the media has failed us frankly. They have allowed the agenda to be minimized.” Spivack says Trump’s claims that the media is rigged are nothing new. “People always think there is a big conspiracy, but most of the time getting the newspaper out is a miracle,” Spivack said. “You’re not sitting around thinking ‘how can we misportray this person or that person.’ It just doesn’t work that way.”
