DePauw wins Monon for the first time since 2008

By DAVID KOBE Sports Editor sports@thedepauw.com

For the first time in almost eight years, the Monon Bell returned to Greencastle after a 37-34 win over Wabash College.

Led by senior quarterback Matt Hunt’s fantastic performance, the Tigers were victorious in a rivalry that has been dominated by the Little Giants over the last decade.

DePauw began the contest strong, scoring the first 14 points in the game. At 11:32 in the first quarter, Matt Hunt lost the handle on a snap, only to recover his fumble and take it into the endzone. The two-yard run allowed DePauw to draw first blood and go up 7-0. After a solid 10 play, 72 yard drive the Tigers scored yet again with a Hunt pass to senior wide receiver Ian Good. Good was sandwiched by two Wabash players in the secondary, but was able to hold on to the catch and put the Tigers up 14-0.

Wabash was able to get into an offensive rhythm during the second quarter and sustained an impressive nine-play drive that ended in Wabash kicker Andrew Tutsie hitting a 45-yard field goal to tie the record for all-time career field goals. The kick was also the longest of Tutsie’s career.

DePauw senior kicker Marko Adams answered with a field goal of his own. A 28-yard attempt that pushed theTigers lead back to 14 points.

Wabash running back Matt Penola was able to find his stride later in the game and scored the next two touchdowns of the contest. The first, a one-yard run capping off an eight-play, 57-yard drive. The second, another one-yard run midway through the third quarter to tie the ballgame at 17.

While the DePauw offense seemed to be losing momentum after multiple unsuccessful drives, Matt Hunt had a 51yard rushing touchdown up the middle of the field after breaking a tackle and hitting a gaping hole in the middle. After running past the linebackers, it was a footrace between the secondary and Hunt. He put the Tigers up 24-17.

The Little Giants’ senior quarterback ConnorRicewasabletoanswerbackinthe closing minutes of the third. Rice, who was 25-35 for 325 yards and two touchdowns,

completed a pass to sophomore wide receiver Oliver Page for 28 yards and the touchdown to tie the game again at 24.

After unsuccessful drives from both teams, the Little Giants’ Andrew Tutsie kicked a 39-yard field goal and putWabash up three points. They led 24-27 and that field goal solidified Tutsie as the most prolific kicker in the history of Wabash’s program.

Hunt was able to lead the Tigers down the field and had a similar breakout run, taking the ball 51 yards to the end zone and putting DePauw up 30-27 following an unsuccessful extra point attempt from Adams.

On the next drive Rice’s offensive line was able to hold off pressure from DePauw’s defensive line and had 11, 27, and 12 yard pass completions before

throwing a 20-yard fade to Page to put the Little Giants up 30-33 with only 2:06 left in the game.

Following a sack, Hunt completed a pass to junior wide receiver Ben Wilson for 18 yards to the DePauw 38-yard line.

Then Hunt passed to Good for 26 yards, pushing the Tigers into Wabash territory.

Again, Hunt went to Good for 20 yards to put the Tigers on Wabash’s doorstep at the 13-yard line.

After driving down the field in a matter of three plays, Hunt passed right to his brother, sophomore wide receiver Andy Hunt, to put the Tigers ahead 37-34 and giving the ball back to Wabash with 32 seconds remaining in the game. Wabash was unable to answer in the time left and DePauw brought home the bell for the first time this decade.

“To share the end of his playing career with that play- I never thought it would be like that in a million years and it was really special to share,”Andy Hunt said.

“I mean we practice that every Thursday,” Matt Hunt said. “So we just went through the motions of practice and we were confident we could make it happen.”

Matt Hunt finished the game 19-35 with a 241 passing, 185 yards rushing, two passing touchdowns, and three rushing.

Among other top-performers was Good with nine receptions for 192 yards and a touchdown, as well as senior linebacker Thomas Gray, who was the leader of the defense with 10 tackles.

DePauw finishes their season 8-2 and brings the bell back to DePauw students who have not rang it in a very long time.

Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, David Cameron, will be the next DePauw University’s Ubben Lecturer on Thursday, Dec. 8.

Cameron, who left his post this summer, will be giving a lecture titled, “The Historic Events of 2016 and Where We Go From Here.”

Two couches and one table set ablaze

BY EMMA MAZUREK News Edior news@thedepauw.com

In the wake of winning the Monon Bell, three intentional fires were set on DePauw University’s campus over the weekend.

The first fire was a couch that was set ablaze in the front lawn of Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity.

The second fire was a picnic table which was ignited in South Quad with some type of accelerant, which public safety has not been able to identify.

The third was a couch which was brought in front of the Boulder and East College and set alight at around 4 a.m..

“This is within feet of

our flagship building of our institution, over 175 years old, and it could have went up in flames,” said Angie Nally, director of Public Safety.

Public Safety was disappointed that they had to call the Greencastle fire department so frequently Saturday night.

“The fire department was excited to be a part of DePauw’s win, and came out and drove their fire truck with their lights and sirens on with our football team and then we repaid them with three pull station alarms and three intentionally set fires,” Nally said. “They made at least eight runs to DePauw that night, which is really not good, not to mention the health and safety aspects of

European Horizons, working thinktank comes to DePauw University

BY EMMANUEL KWAKYA Staff Writer news@thedepauw.com

With the installation of its chapter on campus, DePauw University has became the first liberal arts university to be part of the thinktank, European Horizons.

European Horizons is the largest United States based European thinktank and has chapters at Harvard University, Stanford University and other top-ranked universities.

European Horizons functions much-like model United Nations.

Participants of the thinktank draft policies over various global topics like foreign relations or the environment. These policies are then presented at an annual European Student Horizons conference held on Feb. 1 at Yale University. The drafted policies

are then discussed, debated, and presented to government officials and policy makers. Attending officials include former United States ambassador to the European Union , William Kennard, Ambassador of the European Union to the United States, David O’Sullivan and Director of the European Parliament liaison office with the U.S Congress, Antoine Ripoll.

European Horizons was originally conceived at Yale University in 2015, and since its birth, it’s grown to encompass 32 chapters across the United States.

DePauw senior Ia Tserodze is one of few individuals in the U.S. who is credited with the original founding and implementation of European Horizons.

During Tserodze’s study abroad at the University of Oxford in Oxford, England, she was approached by Yale University

to initiate a chapter of European Horizons at Oxford, which she successfully completed. Tserodze has now established the beginnings of a chapter of European Horizons here on DePauw’s campus.

However, establishing a chapter on campus was not an easy process. “It became a lengthy process for DePauw because I was the only person from DePauw who was a part of the founding and could implement it,” Tserodze said.

In order to establish a chapter on campus, Tserodze had to write a constitution and enlist the aid of various different faculty members in the Political Science, Peace and Conflict Studies, and European Studies departments.

Other factors that made it difficult for DePauw to establish a chapter include its size and status. Many of the schools that are involved in the thinktank are

amongst the best in the world and have a large student population.

Director of European Studies and professor of Philosophy, Daniel Shannon, also shared similar concerns about the efficacy of an established chapter on campus. “It is great, but not likely to do well here,” Shannon said. “The problem is in order for it to happen, you need a dedicated and large body of students.”

Junior Maya Cotton, who worked with Tserodze to launch European Horizons on campus, remains positive about the possible success of the newly established chapter. “I think it’s a valid concern, although I can’t guarantee dedicated members in the future,” Cotton said. “I don’t see why we can’t try.”

Amidst doubt and concern, Tserodze remains undeterred.

“I want DePauw students to get more from class and theoretical

knowledge,” she said. “I want to share, I want to make sure other students benefit from this opportunity.” Tserodze also plans to hold an information session for interested students who want to be involved in European Horizons after thanksgiving break.

Tserodze believes that for many students who are interested in European Horizons, the experience will apply to the theories they learn in class.

Most of all, Tserodze hopes to inspire other students to engage in beginning new initiatives here on campus.

“I want to make sure our school stands out and make sure DePauw students can access these resources,” Tserodze said. “It sends a positive message to other students that they can start a new initiative.”

Panel provides perspective on 2016 elections

BY BROCK TURNER news@thedepauw.com

DePauw University played host to its own version of a Sunday morning political talk show— complete with shouting and an array of competing perspectives.

Four Indiana journalists joined Professor of Political Science, Bruce Stinebrickner, in a crowded Watson Forum on Thursday attempting to process an election that defied polls and pundits.

Pulliam Distinguished Visiting Professor of Journalism and former Washington Post writer and editor, Miranda Spivack, served as a faux moderator. The evening started civil, but the tone of the conversation quickly began to shift.

As topics related to defining what the election meant for America, the panelists, along with the audience, had trouble finding common ground.

“Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were the only two people

that could lose to each other,” said political insider, attorney, and radio host Abdul Hakim-Shabazz.

He blamed Trump’s initial rise on several factors including the sheer size of the field competing for the GOP nomination.

“The Republican primary was like ‘Jon and Kate Plus Eight’ times two,” Hakim-Shabazz said.

Former Indianapolis Star political reporter Mary Beth Schneider agreed, but added, “the media had an additional challenge this time: bold face lies.” Schneider believed this cycle was extraordinary, usually candidates stretch the truth, this time around she blamed both Clinton and Trump of blatant dishonesty.

“The problem with the Clinton’s is that they give the legal answer, not the honest answer,” said Hakim-Shabazz, offering a potential reason as to why Clinton failed to reach 270 electoral votes.

He believed her insistence upon tip-toeing around the issue of using

a private server while in office, rather than addressing it head on, haunted her.

Other panelists blamed the media’s lack of coverage of when FBI Director James Comey announced for the second time that he was not seeking to press charges against Clinton for the use of her private email server.

Assistant Professor of Africana Studies, Emmitt Riley, who was in the audience, expanded what other panelists had mentioned.

“What propelled Trump to victory is a resurgence of white, working class voters in rural areas that had previously not been activated,” Riley said.

Spivack agreed, but believed there was more to Trump’s victory than activating rural, white voters. She tried to highlight the controversial statements Trump made without much backlash from prominent Republicans in Washington. “Until Trump was accused of groping white women,

[Speaker of the House] Paul Ryan announced he wouldn’t campaign for him. I think it’s much deeper than that,” Spivack said.

When a Greencastle resident asked the panel about the media’s responsibility for Trump’s election, the four journalists were outspoken—shouldering some of the blame, while shifting more towards their organizations.

“The network execs loved Trump and they made millions off of him,” Schneider said.

“Everyone watches CNN, FOX News, and MSNBC and it’s freaking terrible,” said Brandon Smith, Indiana Public Broadcasting’s Statehouse Bureau Chief. “They treated Donald Trump like entertainment. He was never treated like a serious candidate.”

After blame was cast on the organizations that provided much of America their political information, the panel began to offer constructive solutions on how media might improve its coverage

in future elections.

“Instant fact checking has to get better, and that’s a ton of pressure on reporters,” Schneider said.

However, she remains optimistic with increasing technology that the future will improve.

“These national journalists fly in from the coasts, report for five minutes, fly back, and think they have figured us [Midwestern voters] out,” Smith said. “That [complete coverage] is what I think is missing.”

Despite disagreement and heated debate, audience members and panelists alike seemed to agree on one thing—Mike Pence.

A line of nodding heads followed statements about the embattled Indiana governor’s rise from a tight reelection battle here in the Hoosier state to landing the Vice Presidency.

Stinebrickner summed up the transformation comically. “There’s a lot of luck in politics,” he said.

“But Mike Pence better go out and buy a lottery ticket.”

#BlackLivesMatter, the role of technology, and the election aftermath

BY CLAUDIA MONNETT Staff Writer features@thedepauw.com

Less than 24 hours after Donald Trump was declared presidentelect, professors of political science, Clarissa Peterson and Emmitt Riley, opened their pre-planned colloquia talk with a qualifier. The session was originally meant to focus on the role of technology in the Black Lives Matter movement, but the emphasis shifted in light of recent political events.

The talk began as planned with a ten-minute compilation of police brutality clips. In Minnesota, Philando Castile bleeds to death in his car, while his girlfriend sobs but holds her phone steady, her daughter sits in the backseat unseen and unheard, and officer Jeronimo Yanez shrieks curses and continues to hold them at gunpoint. In Texas, officers crash a pool party. Officer Eric Casebolt is frantic, screaming at black children in swimsuits to get on the ground while their white peers stand and film the incident unharassed.

“Look at the people who are free to move, look at the people who are free to talk, and look at the people who are forced to lay on the ground,” Peterson said. The video showed Casebolt slam an unarmed 15-year-old black girl in a bikini on the ground, pushing

her face into the ground with his hands, and then kneeling into her back. Her cries draw the attention of friends who come running to help her up, and then the officer draws his gun.

“If she told her story, if all those black kids told their story, nobody would believe them,” Peterson said.

“Now that we have this kind of information captured, we get the rest of America believing.”

The capturing of these videos does not necessarily translate to support for the Black Lives Matter movement, said Peterson.

Peterson and Riley opened the floor for questions, and the conversation changed immediately to the election results.

“What does it fundamentally mean to have an overt racist in office, who’s playing footsie with the KKK?” Riley asked. He commented that this election outcome can be seen through the lens of racialization theory.

The theory states if voters perceive that something is going to benefit a black community, they find it to be racialized. Clinton had been embracing these controversial issues in a direct way, which Riley said made her become racialized thus costing her white voters.

When a student asked if there was something positive that may have came out of this election, Riley replied, “It really told us who the racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic people in

our society are,” adding that there is value in “knowing who the devil is.”

Riley further said he is tired of explaining the concept of racism to white people. “There is no pride in having to articulate the statement ‘black lives matter’ when there is a man of color in the highest office in the land,” Riley said.

Unsurprised by the Trump victory, the professors explained how the president-elect was able to pull it off.

Peterson commented that not only did Trump secure the vote of uneducated, white women and increase support in rural areas over previous Republican candidates, but he also attracted the higher educated, but closeted, white voters. He attracted this group of people who “are smart enough to not tell us they were voting for Trump,” Peterson said.

While speculating about the next four years, Riley said often when government is unified under one party, it can act too quickly for the country and backlash may follow.

Riley also mused that Trump “has finessed his way without presenting a single plan… when he is unable to deliver to these rural white voters, what is going to happen?”

“That’s the tragedy of this election,” Peterson said. “We let craziness, stupidity, and outrage become normal. And though they are crazy out there, we want to be right in here.”

“The pie is the limit!”

F E AT U R E S

What an exciting weekend to be a DePauw Tiger. For the first time in eight years, the Monon Bell is back in the 765.

After a thrilling football game Saturday, it is only fair that in this week’s column, I talk about a sports movie. This week’s film is, in my opinion, the most sensitive of all sports movies. It is the story of a ragtag group of Pee Wee hockey players on their quest for a gold medal at the Junior Goodwill Games. This week we will be talking about Sam Weisman’s 1994 film “D2: The Mighty Ducks.”

After a knee injury ends his minor league hockey career, Coach Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez) returns to Minnesota only to become head coach of Team USA’s hockey team for the Junior Goodwill Games. Most of the O.G. ducks are back, like Charlie Conway (Joshua Jackson), Fulton Reed (Elden Henson), and Goldberg (Shaun Weiss), and are joined by new members who help U.S.A. win the gold. The conflict of the story comes when Coach Bombay loses sight of having fun, and he instead solely focuses on trying to win.

The villains of the movie are the team members from Iceland, team U.S.A.’s main competitor. Iceland is set up to be the antithesis of the Ducks, which are solely seen as an uniform mob. The face of the mob is Wolf “The Dentist” Stansson (Carsten Norgaard) who also is the foil to Bombay.

Stansson played in the National Hockey League, whereas Bombay did not. Stansson only cares about winning, but Bombay and the Ducks try to fly together.

The funniest part about team Iceland has to be the ambiguity of their heritage. They all have different accents; however, the majority of them sound Russian

or German, not Nordic. You can chalk up this to Hollywood still using the stereotype of Eastern Europe as the bad guy from the Cold War days. I half expected a player from team Iceland to go full Ivan Drago and say, “I will crush you” before the final game started.

The Ducks are obviously the heroes of the film, and represent the classic ragtag, underdog way of winning the big game. Their team is smaller and slower than Iceland, but they make up for this by playing with heart and a genuine love for the game.

The Ducks also show that the best way to practice, if you need to get really good, really quick, is an inspirational montage of three drills interspersed with general fun team antics.

This training style coupled with an inspirational speech at an intermission break is the winning strategy for an underdog sports movie. I can only hope that Coach Lynch rallied the Tigers with a similarly passionate speech as Gordon Bombay’s “Ducks Fly Together.”

I actually think that there are a fair amount of similarities between DePauw and the Ducks. I mean the bar that’s right on campus is called “The Duck.” In minor seriousness, much like Gordon Bombay’s return to Minnesota, Coach Lynch made a triumphant return to DePauw in 2013. When fighting for the Bell, DePauw needed to make a comeback with time running down just like the Ducks, and they did.

Congratulations to the men’s football team and to DePauw in general, it’s been too long, but the bell is back. Until Hollywood turns our 123rd Monon game into a movie, I guess I am stuck comparing DePauw’s victory to The Mighty Ducks.

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

Victoria Houghtalen’s work on Clinton campaign not lost, even though her candidate did

Junior Victoria Houghtalen believed fate brought her to work on the Hillary Clinton campaign in Granville, Ohio this semester.

“There’s one memorial for Victoria [Woodhull] in the United States, and it’s in the town where I’m living right now,” Houghtalen said. “I brought one book with me, and it was Woodhull’s biography. I really felt like that was such an omen.”

Victoria Woodhull was the first woman to run for president in 1872, even before women were allowed the right to vote.

Houghtalen, a Political Science Major and Women’s Studies minor, has worked for the Clinton campaign every break since she has been a student at DePauw. She worked for the campaign in Brooklyn last summer and participated in the Iowa caucus during winter term.

For her Media Fellows internship this semester, she was an organizer in Ohio.

Houghtalen chose to work at an Ohio campaign office because she was born and raised in the Midwest, and because Ohio is historically a swing state in the presidential election.

“We can’t hire enough staff to talk to all of Ohio, so we have to rely heavily on volunteers,” Houghtalen said.

For the past four months, she had been finding volunteers to campaign for Clinton. These volunteers were going doorto-door encouraging people to vote, especially in the four days leading up to the election.

Junior Lindsey Jones, a friend of Houghtalen, said

she hasn’t talked to her much this semester because of Houghtalen’s work schedule.

“We wouldn’t have much time to talk because she was constantly working long hours with little sleep,” Jones said.

“Despite the sleep deprivation, stressful time crunches, and high stakes for nominating and voting in the next president, Victoria worked tirelessly and passionately for the Hillary campaign.”

Houghtalen made sure that volunteers were trained and had the information they needed to encourage voter participation.

On election day, Houghtalen had acquired hundreds of volunteers.

The day following the election results was a difficult time for her office. “It was the most sitting and doing nothing we had done in four to five months,” Houghtalen said. “It kind of felt like mourning a death.”

This past week, Houghtalen had been helping shut down the office and saying goodbye to volunteers. “Everyone’s just a little disheartened and trying to figure out what to do next,” Houghtalen said.

In 2017, there will be two governor’s races, so some of her coworkers are getting back on the campaign trail to support the Democratic candidates. Others are going into nonprofits for causes that may be affected by Presidentelect Donald Trump’s policies, such as women’s healthcare or environmental organizations.

“We all joined this campaign for different reasons, and we still have those reasons,” Houghtalen said.

“We’re just trying to find different organizations that fulfill what we’re passionate about.”

Professor of Political Science, Deepa Prakash, is Houghtalen’s advisor and helped her secure her position at the Ohio campaign office.

Despite Clinton’s loss, Prakash is hopeful because of young women like Houghtalen.

“People like Victoria and Hillary prove that these [women’s] stories will no longer be marginalized,” Prakash said.

“Women are now working in media and education, my hope is that women will not be as marginalized in the future.”

Although her candidate lost, Houghtalen does not feel like the experience was a waste of time. “I’ve personally never been more proud of myself,” she said. “I literally had a chunk of a swing state that I organized, and I’ve learned so much about political science and campaigns with being hands-on and responsible for part of this campaign.”

Houghtalen will graduate in 2018 before the midterm elections, which will prove to be a critical time for the Democratic party. She hopes to continue working in politics particularly for a woman candidate.

She has some advice for DePauw students who are unhappy over the election outcome, “Find a cause that speaks to you the most and work your ass off for it,” Houghtalen said.

“There are so many people that the Trump presidency hurt, and there’s so much to be done.

Just because we’re in college doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do anything.”

Monon is over: keep the spirit going I have charged a football field twice in my life, but the one I will remember took place at Wabash College this past weekend.

Never have I been more excited to be a Tiger and never have I seen my peers that excited about DePauw athletics.

For the first time in my four years, eager students packed the stands of a Monon Bell game for all four quarters. They enthusiastically cheered on our Tigers and passionately taunted our biggest rival.

While the Monon Bell game, and all the fanfare that surrounds it, has come to a close for the 123rd year, I hope the school spirit and excitement seen Saturday does not.

One too many times, I have photographed a sports game or attended an event that only featured a spattering of student attendees. I hope that we as peers will continue to passionately support each other other whether it is on the gridiron or in the classroom.

I am not asking you to attend every speaker or game, I am asking you to try to attend one event a week. While it may only take 30 min of your day, the person who practices five days a week or spent hours preparing will surely appreciate it. It will also hopefully come full circle, so when your event occurs you will feel supported instead of disappointed.

On Saturday, I was also moved by how my fellow students stopped identifying by the Greek letters and instead unified under the yellow “D.” While many of us identify with a certain group, we are all members of a big DePauw community, a fact I saw my peers demonstrate at Wabash. We must do our best to continue this attitude beyond one three hour period as it will bring us together.

After all, we are all Tigers no matter the color of our skin, the Greek letters we wear or the sports team we play for.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear editor, Thank you, Sheraya Smith, for your spot on article about false fire alarms in the Nov. 1, edition of The DePauw.

What a great acknowledgment of a growing problem and the accountability necessary to help ensure safety on our campus. We sincerely appreciate the student perspective and assistance with addressing these issues. To add more information here are a few facts we should all take the time to consider.

According to Campus Firewatch, a national organization that tracks campus fires and fire related fatalities, 170 campus-related fire deaths have occurred since 2000. A necessary step in preventing fire-related deaths is the reduction of false and maliciously activated fire alarms. (Indiana Code 35-44-2-2 (2) prohibits false reporting of a fire, subject to criminal prosecution, as well as a violation of the University Code of Conduct.) Another step is strict

adherence to building evacuation during ALLAlarms.

As we evaluate the experience at DePauw over the first few weeks of the current semester our entire campus should be very concerned about fire safety. The Public Safety dispatch reports 94 calls for the Greencastle Fire Department to campus between Aug. 15 and Nov. 1. A look at the section of numbers most concerning include the following data: • • • •

86 of the alarms were to Campus Living units (Greek 18, UOAH 32, Residence Halls 36) 32 alarms were the result of “Cooking” 23 of the alarms were maliciously activated 15 are of unknown origin and potentially malicious activation

As Sheraya noted, students are becoming desensitized to the alarms.

Public Safety and Campus Living also report an increasing problem with students failing to evacuate during alarms. Everyone should practice and hold each other accountable for the following fire safety procedures.

1. Never disregard a fire alarm, always evacuate 2. Always know two ways out, no matter where you are 3. Know the location of alarm pull stations and fire extinguishers 4. Report fire safety violations and all tampering of fire safety equipment 5. Never disable a smoke detector 6. Always attend to, and closely monitor cooking Angela Nally - Director of Public Safety and Doug Cox - Coordinator of Emergency Management

A Trump presidency should never have happened; here’s why it did

BY FOSTER WHITLOCK Staff Writer opinions@thedepauw.com

It was apparent that this was a “change” election due to the popularity of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, and yet the Democrats trotted out the most status quo, establishment candidate they could have. Additionally, Democratic strategists incorrectly assumed that Obama’s very high approval ratings would translate to a landslide for Hillary Clinton. Regardless of the legitimacy of Clinton’s email server issues, it was a sticking point for Trump and the Republicans all the way through the campaign. One of the lowest points for Hillary was after the release of theWikileaks emails that showed the attempted collusion of the DNC to ensure Clinton would be the Democratic candidate. Even though Clinton got more votes in the primaries, it is obvious now to Sanders supporters that the DNC did not want Bernie to win.

Trump’s campaign rhetoric was vague, off-base, and offensive. But he paid lip service to people who had been ignored by both parties for 30 years: white, working class people, especially males and especially people in the Rust Belt.According to Bernie Sanders’ platform, NAFTA caused the loss of 700,000 jobs, and the Trans-Pacific

Partnership (TPP) would cause the loss of hundreds of thousands more. Despite most Republicans supporting the TPP, Trump rabidly opposed both NAFTA and the TPP. Meanwhile, Hillary supported the TPP, and her husband was the man who signed NAFTA into law. Trump had an enormous numberofhiccupsthroughouthiscampaign, but he preyed on the sentiments and feelings of Middle America almost perfectly.

Certainly,Trump’s success was due in part to hisappealstomisogyny,racism,xenophobia, and his selection of a decidedly homophobic running mate in Mike Pence. But supporters of Trump had more than just hate speech as reasons to supportTrump.

Instead of focusing on the blatant holes and lack of clear policy positions of Trump’s platform, the media as well as individuals on social media, focused on ostracizing and dismissing anyone who dared to support Trump. The demonization of all Trump supporters served only to anger those who were on the fence. Instead of pushing her well-developed policies that could help Americans,HillarytookTrump’sbait,calling his supporters a “basket of deplorables.” We are in a time in America where people are more ideologically liberal than ever before, where registered Democrats hold an edge over registered Republicans. However, many liberal-leaning media outlets created an echo chamber in which they all declared

that it would be unconscionable to vote for Trump, ignoring the possibility that Trump had a very real chance of winning. Trump held rallies that were often times much larger than Hillary’s, but the media ignored this fact, instead choosing to point out that Clinton’s ground game would be much stronger because of the much better infrastructure and organization of the Democrats across the states.

Liberals and conservatives have become more physically separated than ever before.

Democrats in cities and college towns looked around and saw that there were hardly anyTrump supporters and concluded that the election was already decided for Hillary.Buttheyfailedtogotothehinterlands of America and see the true groundswell of support for Trump. I’ve seen it firsthand in the past year: the panhandle of Florida, the old manufacturing sectors in North Carolina, the beaten down economically stagnant towns across Michigan and Pennsylvania, and even here in West Central Indiana. So many of these working-class voters became so tired of the Washington establishment that has betrayed them on both sides of the aisle, either through trickle-down economics lowering their wages or NAFTA taking away their jobs. They were willing to look beyond Trump’s prejudiced words and lack of political experience just so they could stick it to the establishment.

More Than An “Off” Open and honest dialogue is Saturday Night crucial in moving forward Kiara Goodwine I chose to voice my opposition to the newly elected president Trump Saturday night by attending a “Trump Resistance Rally” in Indianapolis.

My choice to participate in this event centered mostly around my opposition to the racist, xenophobic, homophobic and misogynistic statements and viewpoints that have been expressed by the president-elect. I was very excited, and based on the posts to the Facebook page for the event, it was made clear that it was meant to be a positive and peaceful expression of free speech.

My friends and I arrived around 6:30 p.m., in the middle of the speeches being given at the Statehouse by various progressive leaders in Indiana.

You could feel the energy, the anger, and also the hope. I don’t think anybody expected there to be so many people. Though media outlets report that there were 500 people in attendance, many who attended the rally believe that it was well over 1000. I have never been in that large of a group of people, and it was honestly invigorating because I knew every single person was dedicated in some way to making the world a better place.

At 7:00 p.m. we began our march through the streets of Indianapolis. As we marched, we held our signs high and chanted mantras like “Love Trumps Hate” and “No Justice No Peace.” I was proud to be a part of something bigger, but I know that it’s not enough. In our everyday lives, we have to stand up and speak out, not just when it’s convenient and fun.

Unfortunately, even the protestors faced opposition on Saturday night in the form of brutality by the police. Though

the chief of police, as well as many news outlets, claim that protesters were “throwing rocks”, neither my friends nor I, the thousands of people on the Facebook event page, or the video footage, supports these claims.

At 8:07 pm, my best friend was live streaming to Facebook when the first round of rubber bullets was fired. We had just passed the police peacefully, with our hands in the air. Twenty seconds later we hear shots and screaming. We started running but turned around to figure out what was happening. Several police officers had two people pinned on the ground, and another was spraying protesters that got too close.

We gradually edged nearer, as they took the two protesters into custody. One was a black woman with a “Black Lives Matter” sweatshirt, who only minutes earlier was leading protest chants with a megaphone. The other was a white man dressed in all black.

With thousands still in the streets and unable to tell what was happening, they continued to chant and gather on the sidewalks.

We were in the midst of it when two officers on horses decided to charge the crowd on the street and sidewalk.

A video on Facebook shows terrified citizens running away from the police charging them.

I encourage you to join the “Trump Resistance Rally” page and watch the videos.

I’m not afraid to say it: I witnessed police brutality on Saturday night, in my own state capital, and it shook me to the core. This is some people’s realities, not just an “off” Saturday night, and it shows how far we have to go.

A protest, though empowering, is not enough. I encourage my peers to stand up to injustice and to believe those when they say they do not feel safe. It shouldn’t take an event like I witnessed to open our eyes to the injustice around us.

BY LAUREN STAZINSKI Staff Writer opinions@thedepauw.com

I wrote in my last opinion piece that this election was immensely important overseas. This point was no better demonstrated than on election night when scores of Danes turned out to an election watch party and stayed until the race was officially called at 8 a.m..

I spent the rest of that day alternating between immense rage and profound despair. I came into contact with my first Trump supporter around 2 p.m..

I could’ve handled it better, perhaps with more sleep. I left that interaction feeling worse than before though because I realized that no matter the strength of my argument or the validity of my concerns, I had still lost. For the first time since I’ve followed politics, my beliefs are not going to be represented in the highest office. Now what?

I’ve read about the protests across the nation. I want to encourage the demonstrations because the historically oppressed need to have their voices heard and I know how good solidarity feels. I want to believe anger and anguish are the best ways to respond, but I can’t. I don’t think this is the time.

If the results of this election say anything, it’s that something was

missing from the demonstrations and the rallies and the movement.

We were missing genuine conversation and understanding.

And now is the perfect time to correct that.

We can post about how racist and bigoted the U.S. is, but that doesn’t fix the fact that people in the U.S. are racist and bigoted.

And maybe they don’t want to be that way. If we always talk about how horrible the rural,white,male population is, they’re never going to listen to us. They’re never going to want to work with us or vote with us. They are going to have children who are racist and bigoted and who might swing the next important election.

DePauw is in many ways the ideal environment for liberal ideas to flourish, but outside our campus is a predominantly white, rural, working-class population that does not always understand our beliefs. We don’t understand their beliefs. We just don’t.

We can’t. Unless we’ve lived their experiences, we liberal millennials cannot understand rural conservatives.

We need to talk to them. We need to start to repair this nation because we have to move forward.

The thing I’ve heard from every conservative friend and family member since the election is that they understand how I feel when I’m upset I won’t be represented

the next four years because they have spent the last 7¾ years feeling like that.

I didn’t know they felt like that.

I refused to understand that while I liked where the country was headed, a lot of people, for various reasons, did not. I didn’t hear their cries, and, again, if the results of this election say anything, it’s that their concerns cannot be ignored.

To repair this nation, we need to start in Greencastle. Our relationship with the community has been rocky. We’ve had gay pride flags ripped down, and we’ve seen Confederate flags on cars and houses. To be clear: I do not think many people in Greencastle are racist or bigoted or otherwise hateful, but whatever hate that exists here or elsewhere is a product of the barriers and divisions caused by the self-sorting of Americans into communities of the like-minded.

Being students on a liberal campus in a conservative area allows us to be on the forefront of inter-ideological discussion, which the country desperately needs in order to combat increasing partisanship. We need to be open with an understanding of each person we confront concerning the issues of this election. This is the only way to move forward and to prevent whatever just happened from happening again.

OPINIONS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

We have just witnessed the most divisive presidential race in our country’s history.

These results have shined a light on how divided we are as a community and how much allyship is truly needed. In order to be a great ally, we need to recognize that members of our community are grieving.

Some are grieving the loss of the first African-American President. Some are grieving the ceiling remaining intact from not electing the first female president. Some are grieving the President-elect being someone who has made public statements against marginalized individuals.

Some are grieving the potential loss of policies once the transition of power occurs.

To best support those grieving, we need to understand grief. According to psychologists, there are five stages: Denial and Isolation, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance.

Denial and Isolation: The first reaction of many was to deny the reality of the situation. “This can’t be happening” or “I’ll wake up in the morning to different results.” This is a defense mechanism that calms the immediate shock by hiding from the actuality of the situation.

Anger: Once the first defense falls, the reality and pain begin to re-emerge.

Some are angry at those who didn’t vote, those who voted third party, those who voted for the next President-Elect.

This anger takes over and is aimed in many directions both related and unrelated.

Bargaining: Many people begin to attempt to regain control. “If only I encouraged more people to vote,” “If only I were participating in the campaigns,” “If only there was not a two-party system.”

Depression: Sadness and regret weigh heavy in the minds hit with grief. There’s

a lot of worrying, panic, and fear. People begin to isolate from others to cope with this loss and fall further into depression.

Acceptance: Some members of our community may reach this stage in the next few weeks, while others may never reach it. This is the most difficult stage and takes a different amount of time for each person.

We need to practice our allyship to all members of our community at every stage of grief they are experiencing.

Those who are grieving do not need judgment; they need understanding and support.

Dear editor:

demagogue like Trump.

So if in a comfortable languor you voted for the Democratic brand based on social issues (all the while patting yourself on the back for your kind heart) while ignoring economic issues, I don’t have much sympathy for your grief with regards to this election. Your languor allowed you to be cavalier to the plight of much of America.

Your blind eye with regards to economic issues makes you part of the reason Trump is now president-elect.

Let me repeat that for you. You are part of the reason for Trump’s election. So rather than dissing “white trash” and “rednecks” for their stupidity or lamenting what our country has become you should be looking in the mirror and reflecting on your own stupidity, on why you were so easily suckered into buying into a two party duopoly distinguished by social issues, but united in its desire to redistribute wealth upward.

And a corollary to the above is as follows. If you are a pro-

Wall Street Democrat and you voted for Hillary in the primaries well good for you, you voted your conscience. But if you fancy yourself a liberal or a progressive and you didn’t vote for Bernie instead, then you are a complete unadulterated moron. No softpedaling here--you’re a complete imbecile.

But cheer up. In a few more days you’ll be back to your comfortable routine, watching American Idol and NFL football. And in four years when the Democrats ladle up their next Wall Street lackey, you’ll drink deep, mumbling something about voting for the lesser evil while being completely oblivious to the fact that lesser evilism is just a self-fulfilling prophecy that guarantees evil and in the long run guarantees the election of the Trumps of the world. Either that or you’ll be unemployed and gone over to the dark side.

Boo hoo! To all of you liberals standing around holding hands and chanting kumbaya, I share your grief. NOT. Why not?

Because you are oblivious to the role you played in electing a bigoted demagogue. Let me spell it out for you.

For 30 plus years “Liberals,” especially prosperous and educated liberals, have blithely voted for Democrats in the pocket of Wall Street and big business.

Through free trade deals and deregulation, Wall Street Democrats enabled and facilitated the redistribution of wealth upward and outward (even now Obama is pushing for the TPP).

When wealth is redistributed upward and outward, the middle and working classes become distressed. When the middle and working classes become distressed, they look for scapegoats and authoritarians with easy answers to relieve their stress. Hence, they vote for a

DePauw basketball teams gear up for 2016-2017 season

BY DAVID KOBE Sports Editor sports@thedepauw.com

Coming off a NCAA tournament bid with five talented seniors, last year’s DePauw University men’s basketball team hoped to live up to the success of their predecessors but fell short.

“From a results standpoint we really need to show some improvement,” said Head Men’s Coach Bill Fenlon.

The Tigers had a record of 8-17 following a successful 20-10 season where the Tigers moved onto the second round of the NCAA playoffs.

One of the main problems for the Tigers last season was the responsibility thrust upon some of the younger players according to Fenlon. Last year, all five sophomores saw regular playing time.

“We weren’t really deep in our junior and senior class,” Fenlon said. “We had to play some sophomore and freshmen, that maybe in a normal cycle they would have been playing but would have had smaller roles. Having said that, these players are well

ahead in their development and that’s positive.”

One of the Tigers’ main concern this season is also depth. The only two seniors, Luke Lattner and Nate Jahn, hope to lead the squad and the offense. Lattner, who averaged 18.5 points per game and shot 45.4 percent is optimistic.

“We were disappointed with our season last year,” Lattner said. “We are excited to get back out there and show people that we are a different, more experienced team.”

Last year, DePauw’s team lost nine games after leading by more than ten points in the second half. For Lattner, last year’s failures inform this season’s experience. “It should be better with most of our guys coming back,” Lattner said. “We have gained a lot more experience that should help us late in games this year.”

For the women’s team last year, they saw success in the regular season and in the NCAC, but were success was unable to translate it to wins in the NCAA tournament. The team finished with a record of 22-7 eventually falling

to University of WisconsinStevens Point in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

The team returns sophomore Maya Howard, last year’s Great Lakes Region Rookie of the Year. Howard believes the team’s work ethic will push it towards success.

“This is a team that comes to practice ready to work every day,” Howard said. “We like to learn, push each other, and want feedback from our coaches, and I think that mentality and the hard work we are putting in are going to pay off this season.”

Howard’s 10.3 scoring average was the highest by a DePauw freshman since Ann Hall averaged 10.5 points during the 1996-97 season.

“I think on a personal level, I need to step up and be more of a leader for the team,” Howard said. “I’m not a freshman anymore and there are people who are looking up to me.”

The men’s team begin their season on Wednesday, Nov. 15 at Franklin College with tip-off at 7:30 p.m., while the women play Birmingham Southern College, Friday, Nov. 18th at 8:00 p.m.

ANDY HUNT

Sophomore Andy Hunt was an integral part of the this year’s Tigers offense. He is also senior quarterback Matt Hunt’s younger brother. Gathering 689 yards and ten touchdowns this season as an underclassmen, Andy Hunt was an asset to the Tigers high-powered offense.

The crowning moment of his season was sealing the Monon Bell victory and catching the game winning touchdown from his brother on a fade to the right side of the endzone.

TDP: How did you feel going into Hunt: It’s a long week. Every day the weekend? people ask you, “are you going to bring it back?” Extra pressure Hunt: Going into the game we from around the school, but never felt the most confident we felt in from the team. Coach Lynch did a awhile. We knew we needed to great job of keeping us focused. He not turn the ball over if we wanted harped on the fact that the game to win, and we didn’t turn it over was about us, not about anything once. So we felt prepared. else. Definitely the buzz around campus can get to your head.

TDP: How important was the When gametime hit, we were senior class to your success? ready to go.

Hunt: The seniors have celebrated a lot and they deserve to. They earned it after all the years of tough losses. For the younger guys, we’re focused on taking this momentum into next season. These seniors are really hard working. They came in 2-8.

We came into a team that was pretty good. They took a leap of faith to come here and play, and we all really respected that.

TDP: What was it like before the the final drive?

Hunt: The two years when Matt was here and I was still in high school, I went to both Monon Bell games and I got the feel for it. Talking to him and his friends and seeing what it meant to them. Especially when they give their senior speeches, it hits you and your like “wow, what would it feel like to come so far.” Last year too, we had a devastating loss to Wabash so it was nice getting them back after so long.

TDP: What was going through your head after you caught the gamewinning touchdown?

Hunt: When we were in the offensive huddle, we were staying positive. We do two-minute drills once a week, so we were just staying positive the whole time. The coaches had faith in us and never had a pessimistic attitude. Some guys really stepped up in the game.

Ian played really well and opened it up for a lot of us. The seniors TDP: What does it mean for you stepped up during the game and to bring back the bell? helped keep our heads level.

Hunt: That’s a route we run a lot in the summer with some guys, and we run it a lot at practice. I knew that if I could get open and Matt would see me and be able to get the ball there. That final play was awesome between Matt and I, but to see him and his friends and the excitement on their faces, it was the best thing I could’ve asked for. For TDP: What is the pressure like all the younger guys, that will really before a big game like this? motivate us in the off season.

DePauw to house Monon Bell in new ways

BY DAVID KOBE Sports Editor sports@thedepauw.com

After winning the Monon Bell Saturday, the DePauw University Athletics Department has to answer a question they haven’t been asked in eight years. What do we do with it?

“I don’t want to see it behind a glass case,” said DePauw Athletic Director, Stevie Baker-Watson.

“This is everyone’s bell to enjoy and we want to give people the opportunity to engage with it.”

In the past, the Hall of Fame room in the Lilly Center has housed the 300 pound Bell, but Baker-Watson has different ideas

now that it’s back in Greencastle for the first time since her hiring in 2012.

In the coming year, DePauw Athletics will keep the Bell in the lobby of the Lilly Center rather than being tucked away. For the Athletics department, sharing this long awaited victory has been the goal since the Bell’s return.

Saturday night, in coordination with the Athletic Department, senior football players Matt Hunt and Ian Good, paraded the Bell to multiple different venues on campus, including duplexes on Jackson Street, fraternities Alpha Tau Omega and Delta Tau Delta, The Fluttering Duck, Moore’s Bar and Restaurant, and Hoover Hall.

“In the past it would go into the

bowels of a fraternity house and never come out,” Baker-Watson said. “But the guys were very helpful and we prioritized being inclusive while celebrating.”

Baker-Watson emphasized the victory’s effect on the campus attitude. “This is everyone’s bell to enjoy. Obviously it symbolizes the win by the football team, but the rivalry is part of the fabric of the institution,” she said. “The team is a vehicle to have intense energy on campus. By making it available to everyone, I hope everyone will have a mother bear feeling and they won’t want to give it up next year.”

Not only does DePauw want to be able to share the Bell with its students, it also wants to include

the surrounding community. The Athletic Department plans on creating a campus and community tour to multiple local businesses and venues on the square. Wasser Brewing Company, The Swizzle Stick, Tap House 24, and Eli’s Book Store will all serve as local businesses that will house the Bell for an extended period of time.

Junior Taulbee Jackson, a Cloverdale native, is happy to see DePauw reaching out to the community. “They have never had the Bell on the square, and anytime DePauw interacts with the town thats something to be happy about,” he said.

“It’s about coming together,” Baker-Watson said. “For DePauw and Greencastle, it’s about

celebrating the strength of our community.”

For senior Leah Williams, her family was divided. Her father, a Wabash alumni, was devastated by the loss, but changed his mind quickly. “He saw pictures of DePauw students with the Bell and finally admitted that it was pretty cool that the school was so excited,” Williams said.

The Athletic Department is still currently planning its community tour. For now the Bell is housed in Hoover Hall where students can ring the bell and hear it echo against the high ceilings.

Three tigers qualify for NCAA cross country championships

BY LIBBY KAISER Staff Writer sports@thedepauw.com

Three Tigers will be competing in the NCAA Division III cross country championship following the Great Lakes Regional Saturday.

Senior Claudia Monnett and Polo Burguete earned automatic bids based off of their topten performances. Sophomore Zach Batt also earned a spot at the championship with his performance.

The women’s team placed seventh overall at the meet, collecting 194 points. The Tigers were paced by senior Claudia Monnett, as she completed the course in 21:50.9, earning seventh place and advancing to Saturday’s NCAA Division III Championships. This will be her second straight appearance in the

championships.

The men’s team finished eighth overall, totaling 250 points.

Burguete and Batt finished in the top-ten, with Burguete crossing at 24:55.0 to place fifth, and Batt crossing at 25:03.4 to place tenth.

Despite his personal performance, Burguete thought the men’s team struggled. “I have mixed emotions about our performance as a team at Regionals,” Burguete said. “It was exciting to finish the season and we had two individuals qualify for nationals, which is all good, but we did not have a strong performance as a team.”

The men’s team underperformed having been ranked sixth in the region heading into the meet.

“Nothing is guaranteed in cross country and the miles ran and work done isn’t always enough if you can’t show up on the big stage,” said junior Josse Smith.

Sophomore Paul Christian

crossed at 25:31.3 to place 28th overall, earning the title of an all-region performer, along with Burguete and Batt. Junior Pierce Sheehan followed in 86th, crossing at 26:36.4, and junior Nick Meszaros in 121st, finishing at 27.08.2.

First-year Pierce Sheehan speaks about the progress of the team this season. “I’m really proud of how we ran as a team all year and I think this season was a real turning point for the program as a whole,” said Sheehan. “We beat Wabash for the first time in a decade at Conference and raced well at competitive meets earlier in the year, beating or coming close to 4-5 teams that will be toeing the line at Nationals.”

Calvin was awarded the men’s team title with 63 points, with Allegheny College following in second at 116 and Ohio Northern in third at 121. Allegheny’s Dan Cheung placed first in the meet

with a time of 24.44.4.

Monnett believes she can build off of her national appearance last season. “Last year nationals caught me off-guard,” Monnett said. “There were so many fast girls, it was almost impossible to move up in the race. Now I know I have to get out fast if I want to place well.”

Senior Emma MacAnally finished 30th with a time of 22:51, collecting herself all-region honors. Senior Lois Miller stayed close behind in 38th at 23:00.9.

Senior Becca Conley covered the course in 23:08.2, earning 48th, while senior Kendall Weinert collected 72nd in 23.42.1.

“I ran a large portion of the race right next to Emma MacAnally and Becca Conley, and we kept pushing each other the whole time,” Miller said. “It was really inspiring to run my last race with those two seniors who I have been teammates and friends with since

day one at DePauw.”

Sophomore Sarah Selzer finished at 78th with a time of 23.46.6, and sophomore Gabby Coffing crossed at 24:31.2, placing 125th.

Calvin came in first for the team total with 90 points, with Allegheny placing second totaling 120 points and Hope in third with 128 points. Hope’s Erin Herrmann placed first in the meet with a time of 21:10.9.

“I’m proud of our team and the ability for us to come together and run a great race for Regionals,” said Conley. “It’s amazing that Claudia qualified for Nationals for the second year in a row, and I’m proud of Polo and Zach for qualifying as well. We’re taking two fifteen-passenger vans down to go see them race, so they will have a lot of people cheering for them come Saturday!”

Tigers fall to University of Redlands in NCAA tournament round of 32

BY KEENAN KADAM Staff Writer sports@thedepauw.com

As the Monon Bell rolled past in the back of a pickup truck, DePauw senior forward Julian Gonzalez finessed the ball into the side of the net. The goal pushed the Tigers past Centre College in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

DePauw University men’s soccer beat Centre 3-2 Saturday and advanced to a home match against The University of Redlands on Sunday that ended in a 2-1 loss for the Tigers.

Centre was not a new foe to DePauw, who fell to them during a 3-2 overtime loss earlier in the season.

The Tigers struck first with a goal from junior midfielder Taras Tataryn. The goal came off an assist from Gonzalez that left Tataryn with a shot on goal from the top of the box. It was his first goal of the season.

Despite scoring first, the Tigers weren’t able to take the lead into halftime.

Centre scored two goals within six minutes. The goal that gave them the lead came off a penalty kick in the 36th minute.

The second half was dominated by DePauw, who tied the game in the 76th minute with a goal from senior forward Zach

Hoffman. Hoffman buried the ball in the back of the net off a cross from Gonzalez.

Gonzalez, who set the school record for goals, scored the game-winner in the 75th minute, finessing the ball into the side netting off an assist by Tatryn.

“It was really special to have a goal in this atmosphere and with everything going on,” said Gonzalez in a postmatch press conference. “It feels great to have finally gotten the goal to seal that one, and honestly, it’s one I’ll never forget.”

With the win, the Tigers advanced to the round of 32 where they played The University of Redlands, on Sunday. Redlands advanced to the match with a 2-2 win over Washington University in St. Louis in penalty kicks Saturday.

The first half was split for both teams as neither were able to score or had many goal-scoring chances.

The Tigers would break the deadlock just two minutes into the second half with a goal from Hoffman. Senior midfielder EJ Moore’s pass allowed Hoffman to fire off a shot from the top of the box.

Redlands knotted the score up at 1-1 in the 58th with a goal from the top of the box. Play got a bit chippy following the goal, with a player from each team earning a yellow card during the second half. Redlands

SAM CARAVANA / THE DEPAUW

found the game winner in the 75th minute of a deflected free kick.

The loss ended the Tiger ’s season and Redlands advances to play no. 1 ranked University of Chicago on Saturday.

“This is the most resilient team I’ve ever worked with,” said DePauw Head Coach

Brad Hauter. “No matter the obstacle, no matter the challenge they’d find a way.

We just fell a game short.”

The Tigers end the season with a 12-6-2 record.

Gonzalez led the team in goals and assists with 17 and seven respectively.

Senior Tommy Hinkebein reflected on his experience

playing for DePauw.

“Overall, the best four years of my life,” Hinkebein said.

“Although we were not able to accomplish our ultimate goal of a national championship, there are many everlasting memories I have created with this team.”
