It all started with an article in The DePauw. On Wednesday afternoon, a series of events that began when DePauw students Ashton Johnson and Grant Walters both wrote pieces in The DePauw, came full circle as the two participated in a discussion led by Professor Sandro Barros. During the spring 2014 semester, then junior Ashton Johnson picked up an issue of The DePauw and read an article describing how students on DePauw University’s campus tend to segregate themselves by class, race, Greek affiliation and other factors. She agreed that this was happening, but did not agree with the author’s conclusion that there wasn’t anything the students could do about it. She had also had many minority students express their frustrations to her about being a minority at DePauw. In response, she wrote an editorial piece in The DePauw on Feb. 25, 2014, chronicling the DePauw experience of minority students and what she called the “Privilege Bubble,” a close companion to the much-referenced “DePauw Bubble.” Her article was then picked up by the Huffington Post, an online news site and blog, by means of a DePauw alum. This created a buzz across the nation as well as on campus. Then sophomore Grant Walters read Johnson’s article both in the paper and online. He was concerned that her point-of-view was the only one from this campus being heard, and that it was portraying the school in a bad light compared to what he saw, so he wrote a letter to the editor of The DePauw. In his letter, he said that he hadn’t experienced or seen the “Privilege Bubble” Johnson mentioned.
Both Johnson and Walters received attention for their pieces by email, through social media and in person. Some were positive, some were negative. But what both felt was the most important response to their writings was that conversations were sparked. In the weeks following these pieces, several more students wrote editorial articles or letters to the editor for The DePauw on the issue. After discussing their respective pieces, the two broadened the conversation to the campus climate surrounding minorities. Both praised the DePauw Dialogue, but agreed that there is work yet to be done. “The words microagression and privilege were a part of my vocabulary before the dialogue, but they might not have been in other students’,” Johnson said. “Now that people have the words, they can better engage in meaningful conversations on the topic.” This was not the first time that Johnson and Walters had sat down together to discuss their opinions. Walters spent the fall semester studying abroad in South Africa. While there, he heard about national events such as the happenings in Ferguson, Missouri, and their effect on campus and the conversations that were occurring here, including the planning for the DePauw Dialogue. This moved him to reach out to Johnson, and the two met for the first time in February. They called their conversation “civil and productive.” “Though people may want to label us as enemies because of our differing opinions,” Walters siad. “Ashton never felt like my enemy.” Professor Barros is orchestrating a symposium on minoritized populations that will be held Saturday. He considered Wednesday’s discussion

per semester and additional swipe alternatives. “The swipe alternatives will continue to change over the semester based on student feedback and usage,” Kessinger said. Dean of Academic Life Dave Berque contends that the switch to the new swipe plan is necessary for student success. Although many have argued that the small percentage of students who run out of meal plan money is too insignificant to warrant a change, Berque argues that it is an issue that needed to be addressed. “We often hear from students… who are facing challenges in the classroom,” Berque said. “And it is not uncommon for us, near the end of the semester, to hear from students…who
are out of meal money.” Berque says this is a concern for his department because students feel as though their performance is being impeded on by their inability to eat good meals. “You don’t even want one student to not be able to eat,” he said. Berque concurs with Kessinger that the adjustments being made to the meal plan are a positive step. “We’re trying to respond to student concerns, and meet somewhere in the middle, while still achieving our goals to make sure that everyone can eat three meals a day,” Berque said. This story is the second in a three part series outlining DePauw’s amended meal plan.
Campus feeling lucky with Ubben lecture tonight about three years,” DePauw’s Director of Media Relations, Ken Owen said. Owen also manages the Ubben Lecture series. “I think people in general are impressed with him,” said Owen. After a standout 2011 campaign on the football field, Luck was faced with a decision. He was widely projected as the NFL’s first overall draft pick, but Luck walked away. As a junior he returned to Stanford to finish his degree in architectural design and lead the Cardinal to a BCS Bowl game birth. Luck’s decision to stay in school would ultimately land him a spot with the Indianapolis Colts. With Peyton Manning’s health up in the air, the Colts selected Luck with the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. Since then, Luck has led the team to three straight playoff births and an AFC Championship birth last year. “You hear a lot about guys who use a college schol-

Spring might be upon us, but a name you’re bound to hear this fall will be on campus this evening. Indianapolis Colt’s quarterback, Andrew Luck, will be presenting an Ubben Lecture tonight at 7:00 pm in the GCPA’s Kresge Auditorium. As always the event will be free for DePauw University students and Greencastle residents alike. Luck, a Stanford University graduate, is widely considered one of the NFL’s best young quarterbacks. His speech entitled, “Creating Your Personal Game Plan for Success” will not center on football, rather the decisions he made to stay in college and finish his degree, rather than taking his chance in the NFL. He’s centering his lecture on excellence in and outside of the classroom. “This is something I’ve tried to make happen for
arship as an audition for the NFL or NBA,” Owen said. “For him to stay in school shows a lot about his character.” Although Luck’s primary lecture is not centered around football, he will still cover the topic. Luck will have a private session with the Tiger football team covering solely football. Ken Owen wants students to understand Luck’s visit to campus will be brief. “The primary thing is that everybody wants to meet [Andrew]. My very strong supposition will be that every seat will be filled,” he said. Students are excited about Luck’s arrival. “I think it’ll be an invaluable experience to gain some insight from one of the most prominent student athletes of our time,” said Tiger defensive lineman, Chris Hawk. “We are very excited as a team, and hopefully will take away some ideas on how to balance excellence in the classroom and on the field.

As of Thursday, April 23, an online, student-initiated petition against the institution of the new swipe meal plan has reach 449 signatures. The petition, created by an anonymous “concerned, and hungry, DePauw student” advocates against the swipe system because of the “significant reduction to the amount of choices that students have on campus.” Kevin Kessinger, director of finance, assures those who have signed the petition that their opinions are being heard. “We’ve been following the petition to better understand student concerns,” Kessinger said. “The primary

complaint seems to be about limitations on eating at Two West and the Duck.” These restaurants, though very popular with students, were never intended to be major locations for students to eat. However, for those who do enjoy eating at these locations, Kessinger assures that: “students on the Residence Hall flex plan will have enough flex dollars to eat at Two West or the Duck once or twice a week.” Although small adjustments are still being made to the food program, the new swipe system meal plan is pretty much set in stone. Since the original swipe plan was announced, administration has made changes in accordance with student feedback such as a late night meal period, five guest swipes

Van Jones addresses expanded the meaning of Earth Day
PAGE 3 DePauw
Tiger Tweets
BY MARIA RUMMEL news@thedepauw.com
Van Jones had laughter echoing in Meharry Hall as he began his Earth Day address offering his condolences to seniors preparing to enter the real world outside of DePauw University. Jones is a CNN political contributor and advocate for both human rights and environmental justice, attorney and author. He was the prominent advocate for the Green Jobs Act under George W. Bush and served as the green jobs advisor to Obama in 2009. Jones came to campus this past Wednesday to speak as part of the Environmental Fellows speaker series, “What a Waste!” His address focused on expanding the meaning of Earth Day from saving not only the physical and natural world, but also saving the worlds people. Senior Alex Parker commented on Jones’s approach to his Earth Day Address. “We hear so often about how environmentalism is so morally beneficial to saving the earth, saving the world, but what we do not hear is how environmentalism can benefit the social,” he said. “He really gave a voice to how it is not just about saving the world but saving people. ” Jones directed his comments to the class of 2015 as they will be graduating in just a few weeks, and will be faced with many of the world’s problems. “You are graduating off a cliff into one of the toughest economies,” he said. For Jones, a tough economy consists of both economic problems such as the wealth gap and environmental issues such as coalmines. Jones argues that the solution to these two problems coexists. Senior Rachel Massoud agreed with this aspect of his address. “I appreciated his message that you don’t have to prioritize the environment, or the economy or social justice and that there are solutions that tackle all of these issues,” she said. He acknowledged that most people know the world is going to waste, but in many cases, so are the world’s people. Jones illus-

REBECA BAGDOCIMO / THE DEPAUW trated a waste of talent with a statistic about imprisonment. “One out of every four people locked up in the world are locked up here,” Jones said. He also mentioned that most of those sentences are related to drug use, which he points out is directly tied to race. When people are locked up, so are their talents and perspectives. Jones shared his philosophy that the tougher a problem is, the more heterogeneous the solution must be. Engaging in multiple perspectives for a solution is important, because when you are the one without privilege, you know a lot more about how they system works. This point resonated with Massoud. “I also appreciated his perspective that we need all viewpoints because they are all correct, but one is not enough,” she said. Jones has worked on initiatives to get people out of jail and into jobs and tackle this problem. “Can we connect the people that most need work to the people that need work to be done?” he asked the audience. present and future of the discussion of minority issues on this campus.” Johnson hailed it as “showing how easy conversations can be, even with someone different than you.” “We need to keep talking about these issues,” Barros said. “These students have such

Jones argues that placing people into “green jobs” or those that benefit the environment are the best way to solve economic problems. “There is a set of ideas and solutions out there that are good for the planet and are good for the people,” said Jones. To relate his work back to DePauw, Jones engaged in student questions about bringing his work form the west coast to Midwest. Jones also expressed that fighting against the odds makes history. Jones encouraged students to set the bar high and really work. He believes with hard work a green economy can be built. He presented the idea that change will happen locally first, especially in building these green initiatives. Said Jones: “You don’t have to start big, you just have to start.”

Walker Cup finalists excited, humbled by their nominations BY NETTIE FINN news@thedepauw.com
Since 1927, the Walker Cup has been presented to the DePauw University student who has contributed the most to the community in their time here. Selected by their peers, the candidates this year are Ashton Johnson, Courtney Cosby and

Cody Watson. While academic department chairs have a big say in the final decision, it is ultimately the president’s choice. “I know all three of them very well, and think they’re very strong,” Casey added. The Walker Cup will be awarded during the Academic Awards Convocation on Monday, April 27.
that you think make you deserving of this honor? AJ: I guess what I’m known for is the activism that I’ve done on campus. Two years ago now I wrote an article that was in The DePauw, and that article sparked a bunch of different conversations amongst students, amongst faculty, amongst the administration, which was a pretty cool thing. I wanted to bring about awareness to some of the things that students on this campus face on a daily basis.
TDP: So a big part of what you’ve done here is to bring awareness. In what ways has DePauw made you aware or changed you in some way? AJ: DePauw has definitely made me more aware of the violence towards women. Where I grew up sexual assault and rape and things of that nature wasn’t really a topic that I grew up hearing about or talking about. On a happier note, DePauw has made me realize that I can identify with people who might not look like me or have the same background as me.
Courtney Cosby TDP: What do you think about you stood out to your peers and made them think you’re someone they’d like to see win this award? CC: Honestly I just love to get to know people and talking to people and building personal connections with people, so the fact that that was able to shine through in having my peers’ support was absolutely amazing to me. TDP: What’s something that you’ve had the most fun with here at DePauw? CC: Academically, the history department—absolutely love the history department. The professors are just amazing and they’ve been a really good support system for me. I would say outside of the classroom, Union Board. Union Board is my home, I’ve had the opportunity to really grow as a leader and a person. Plus it helped to get to meet Gavin DeGraw and MKTO.
Cody Watson TDP: As a first generation college student, is this particularly special to you and your family? CW: It is. College is always something I was going to, but nothing my parents had any experience with, so being a first generation college student, I didn’t know these kinds of awards existed. My family is ecstatic for me because they recognize now why I’ve done all the things I’ve done over the past few years. TDP: You are president of Order of Omega, Student Body President and were President of Sigma Nu last semester. That’s a lot of leadership roles—how was that? CW: Leadership is something that I’ve always had a knack for. I really like that atmosphere of applying things and bringing the best out of people. Being president in three different ways at the same time caused lots of late nights and lots of extra effort. But it was one of those things where every organization benefitted in some way so I was really pleased to have the opportunity to be a part of them.
Ferid Murad Medal now in second year, continues to set the bar high for finalists BY NETTIE FINN news@thedepauw.com
Last year was the inaugural year for the Ferid Murad Medal, awarded in honor of Nobel Prize winner Ferid Murad ’58. This year, finalists Stephen Dobbs, Madeline Perry and Hang “Lucy” La will compete for the prestigious award. Nominated by their major departments, the three have left big shoes to fill at DePauw academically.

Hang “Lucy” La La is a history major originally from Ha Noi, Vietnam. She spent a semester off-campus in Paris, France and has written multiple scholarly papers, which have been nominated for the Forum on Education Abroad on Undergraduate Research award, as well as having been presented at the Phi Alpha Theta Ohio Regional Conference. La was unavailable for interview or for a photo.
seems like a huge transition. What was the cause? SD: I thought it was a huge transition, but the more and more I’ve gotten into geology the more I’ve learned it’s just macroscopic history. It just kind of happened, I took maybe two history courses first semester freshman year, and then on a whim I got my Q credit and took intro Geo and fell in love with it. TDP: Do you want to
talk about your field work and the time you’ve spent in China? SD: I’ve spent pretty much my entire undergraduate career devoted to one research project, which is studying the Yan Mountains in Northeast China, which is a mountain range that sort of resembles Appalachia, so lots of trees and bushes. My research has been devoted to figuring out what the heck happened to create these mountains.
Madeline Perry TDP: What is one of your favorite things that you’ve done academically here at DePauw? MP: So, I’ve had classes that I’ve loved but one of my favorite things is that I was in the Science Research Fellows and we have to do off-campus internships for that and I’ve had one of
my favorite research experiences ever through that experience. I actually worked with poop the entire summer—like actual human feces. But it was a really cool malnutrition project that I was working on and I’m going to work on it again this summer trying to create or test a drug that can rejuvenate someone’s small intestine when it’s been ruined by malnutrition. TDP: What do you think your time at DePauw has taught you? MP: I think that my time at DePauw has taught me to go for my goals. I’ve had some really great advisors who have pushed me to do more than academics and to challenge myself in other ways.

The DePauw University Jazz Ensemble’s performance this past Tuesday at Kresge had a little bit of everything. It began with a guest-performance from Greencastle Middle School’s jazz band, something DePauw had also put on first semester. Each song performed by the band was directed by a member of the Jazz Ensemble. The program is financed through a grant from the School of Music. “[It’s] a fantastic opportunity, for them and for us,” said the ensemble's director Steve Snyder, who is in his first year at DePauw. “The idea is that it’s something we can do for the community…It benefits…the ones in the Jazz Ensemble because they get experience working with young students in that kind of a setting.” The concert, however, was headlined by a guest performance by one of the modern jazz world’s most prominent musicians in trombonist John Fedchock. Having emerged in the 1980s, Fedchock has been writing and playing in New York City for more than 20 years. He has also released four CDs with his group, John Fedchock New York Big Band. The Jazz Ensemble played pieces either written or arranged by Fedchock, including “Brazilian Fantasy” and “Midnight Passage.” “Fedchock came into his first rehearsal with us the day before, and I think he was pleasantly surprised to hear how prepared we were,” said first-year bassist Leland Nelson, who, like everyone else, was impressed by Fedchock’s performance. “Our jaws dropped every time he took a solo…his chops are of such a high caliber. He has my utmost respect.” The performance was also filled with solos by Nelson, first-year saxophonists Spencer Schillerstrom and Tyler Schaefers and sophomore trombonist Kevin Killeen. Despite having made themselves familiar with the pieces, the Jazz Ensemble only had an hour-and-a-half rehearsal and a sound check to practice with Fedchock himself. “It’s always hard to gauge, when you’re sending music to a group you’ve never worked with, if you’re sending…the appropriate stuff,” said Fedchock. “But it fit them really and they worked really hard…I thought it was a perfect match.” Snyder especially noticed the easy transition students and Fedchock made when feeling each other out. “There wasn’t a whole lot of adjustment that [Fedchock] was making in what it was that we were doing…[just] little things,” said Snyder. “Which [is] great, when you can get down to that…nitty-gritty level where you’re like…‘let’s add this little nice detail, this little subtle thing that will really make this better’.” Snyder had always wanted to bring a guest artist in to perform with the Jazz Ensemble. Having known various DePauw faculty members and happening to be in the area, Fedchock was indeed the “perfect fit.” But with the performance as a whole, the Jazz Ensemble demonstrated the amount of improvement they have made throughout the entirety of the school year. “My parents said it was the most professional jazz band concert they’ve seen at DePauw, and I think I agree,” said senior pianist Jennifer Peacock. “I’m really happy with it.” The Jazz Ensemble will be playing at The Duck on May 7th, and will also be playing for DePauw Under the Stars on May 16th.

Greencastle passes non-discrimination statue in support of welcoming all people The past month has brought much turmoil to the state of Indiana surrounding Governor Mike Pence’s passage of the RFRA law or SB568. In response to this negative perception of Indiana, two Greencastle councilmen took it upon themselves to author a resolution establishing the city as a welcoming environment. The authors were councilmen Adam Cohen and Tyler Wade. On Tuesday, April 14, the resolution titled: “Resolution Reaffirming Greencastle’s Commitment to Providing an Inclusive and Welcoming Community,” passed unanimously during the council’s monthly session. “We felt it was vital to make a strong statement that Greencastle is open and inviting to everyone,” councilman Wade told the Banner Graphic. The resolution makes many statements about Greencastle’s priorities in being an inclusive town, making sure that any and all visitors and residents feel safe within its limits. It also suggests that it is the cities duty to “reaffirm its commitment to diversity and inclusion through law and ordinances that protect individuals from discrimination.” One of the main goals of the resolution is that “all city offices and companies that do business with the city should not discriminate on the basis or race, religion, ethnicity, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, nation origin, ancestry, age or United States military veteran status, except where these statuses are a bona fide qualification for employment or otherwise allowed by law.” Finally, it charges the president of the City Council to appoint a committee that would be responsible for bringing laws and policies of Greencastle to align with this statement. The DePauw supports this resolution passed by the City Council. It is important that all students who attend DePauw and all future students who visit and make the decision to attend DePauw feel safe and welcomed in Greencastle. With all the turmoil that RFRA has created in Indiana it is nice to see the town that has become our home take a stand in favor of preventing discrimination and supporting all of the people. email us at edboard@thedepauw.com

The ethics of discourse on Clinton VICTORIA HOUGHTALEN
T
he discussion of the 2016 election has already begun, as candidates on both the Republican and Democratic ticket have officially announced their run for a presidential seat. One of those candidates in particular was not-so surprising. Hillary Rodham Clinton has been molding her image for a 2016 run after her defeat to President Obama in the 2008 Democratic primary. But as she becomes a forerunner for next year’s ticket, it is imperative that the American electorate, and especially DePauw students, look at how the discussion around Clinton impacts our perception of her. It is no secret that Clinton would be the first female president. The fact that she is a woman has become a central component to her campaign as her message has focused around raising the next generation in America. Her emphasis on “New Adventures, Next Chapters” from her website is hinting at her being a “champion” for children and mothers, among other groups. The Clinton campaign has strategically decided to embrace Clinton’s sex in order to combat the sexist discourse around her that was so prevalent in 2008. But just because Clinton is focusing
on her sex for her campaign doesn’t mean that we, as an American electorate, can pick on her sex just the same. Regardless of how you feel about Clinton, there is dialogue that is inappropriate to say about her as certain discourse trivializes her and other women out of political leadership roles. For example, DePauw, please feel free to criticize her platform on closing the wage gap. Use all of your economic class experience on campus to combat her argument. However, you may not comment on her pantsuits in the process. By pointing out her attire, critics are placing her into a physical sphere, undermining her experience to only focus on her femininity. Please, feel free to criticize her plan to make colleges nationwide more affordable. If you think that that is not a valuable plan, share it with the world. However, you may not bring up her husband’s affair in the process. By doing so, Clinton is tied to her husband’s actions, furthering the stereotype that a woman’s decisions are directly correlated to and dependent on the image of her partner. Continue to throw punches at how she handled Benghazi. But in the process, be careful to call her Secretary Clinton instead of Mrs. Clinton. All positions of power deserve the proper title, but all too often women of power only get the title associated with their marital status. Other sexist discourses around Clinton include: the word bitch, the critic of her daughter’s actions as Clin-
ton’s own responsibility, saying she sounds like an old wife or blaming menstrual cycles as a reason she might “blow up Russia.” Yes, because men have never done anything irrational in American foreign policy. By making jokes about Clinton’s femininity in public spaces, the discourse undermines her experiences as a successful Wellesley and Yale grad, First Lady, Senator and Secretary of State. Narrowing in on her personal actions or actions associated with her gender limits the potential of other individuals to feel as if they can reach the same capacity as Clinton. Sexist discourse eliminates the feeling that women can aspire to positions of power; it puts women of all fields back into their place. If you wouldn’t say it about a male politician, do not say it about Clinton. I understand that it may sound like I am being picky, but the accumulation of sexist discourse in media and even interpersonal relationships causes a snowball effect that enables persons to focus on the superficial for decades to come. I am advising that DePauw should be conscious as we branch into our 2016 discussions. We need to realize that although Greencastle is far away from Washington DC, our dialogue around women of power on a national level impacts the comfort of females in leadership roles here. Inclusion does not disappear past Anderson Street. -Houghtalen is a first-year intended political science major and Media Fellow from Noblesville, IN.

Ethics of meritocracy in education and the ‘American Dream’: “Why I hate school but love education” VANESSA FREIJE
A
s a current college student, I understand the struggle of endless nights in the library: clinging onto your coffee, dreaming about sleep and wondering, what is all of this studying actually worth? Most might agree: what you are studying is well worth something, but what you are studying for may not be. In today’s society we are not measured by what we have learned through experiences and the struggle of learning. We are measured by a single note that is supposed to merit our academic worth. Is it possible that we are no longer studying for intellectual growth or a true pursuit of knowledge, but rather just to earn passing marks? Has our education system become so institutionalized that it is now simply a meritocracy? If so, then what are the moral implications of this meritocracy? What is our role? Youtuber and Spoken Word artist, Suli Breaks spurred my interest in this idea with his videos,
“Why I Hate School but Love Education” and “American’t Dream.” In the first video, he details the flaws of current education system by acknowledging this misled emphasis that society places on education. That society says we need an education to get a job, that education will equal success, to become successful you must pass exams. He says that education is much richer and satisfying than what we have created it to be. In his second video, he questions his audience on why they are working. He recounted the industrial revolution and how the consequences of advancing technologically have redefined how we work for a living. He recalls, “the industrial revolution was beneficial technologically, but it coerced a lot of people into factories, for ridiculous salaries to benefit their families, and that shaped people’s mentalities exponentially, and essentially it became the norm.” Mr. Breaks paints a Marxist criticism of capitalism in today’s society as he urges us to “not become a slave to a paycheck.” And ultimately defines the ‘American’t Dream’ to represent “the ideal of people striving for success by working an unsatisfactory job, rather than a fulfilling career that feeds into their own success or passion. It propagates that rather than chasing the ‘American Dream’ they are chasing the ‘American’t Dream’ by allowing their own dream to be stifled by another person”. Since when did grades equal success. And why should we allow for this absurd notion to continue? This notion of grades equating to merit lacks
the ability to measure the true potential and talent of an individual. So why do we still use grades as a standard of merit, to create an equal playing field? But what happens when those who are playing on this “equal” field are not actually equal? What happens when that GPA or the score on the standardized test does not represent the potential and talent of the individual, simply because of, for example, their socioeconomic disadvantages? This is where our system is flawed. Will it ever be possible for these people to move up the economic ladder and prevail despite the adversities that social mobility places? And more importantly, does America still have the ‘American Dream’? Are we living in an age of the “American’t Dream”? My question is this: is it ethically sound for us to simply be bystanders to what we have deduced education and working to? I say no. The systematic method we have for marginalizing our youth should not impress blame upon them for what our system has done. It is our prima facie duty as millennials and as students to ensure that we, put forth the effort to stand up against this cyclic injustice of education, poverty and lack of social mobility that has been so dissolved by our facade of the ‘American Dream.’ -Freije is a sophomore Prindle intern from Indianapolis, Indiana.

just returned from Van Jones’ Earth Day lecture and I am probably not alone in thinking that he was one of, if not the best, speaker I have heard come to campus. With the humor of a college student, the impassioned deliverance only 50 years of fighting the system could provide and with an oratory flare that simply cannot be taught, Jones touched on the intersection between the massive issues that threaten our world and the social, racial and divisive issues that threaten our hearts

A reaction to the Earth Day lecture provided by Van Jones and communities like DePauw. It was Earth Day meets the Day of Inclusion and his over-arching message drove both environmentalism and the equity movements’ points home. The only way we fight against the massive powers that destroy the earth for profit, the systems that allow cops who shoot young black men dead in the streets to get off scott free and the powers that be who don’t just permit but orchestrate these things to keep the system as is, the only way to overcome the overwhelming odds of a system against us…is together. Allowing things like race, gender, sexual orientation or gender identity, religion and all of these relatively small differences (we’re all just people at the end of the day) to divide our passions and efforts is exactly what they want because if we fight amongst each other we will never be able to stand against them. So what’s the

message Mr. Jones and I both want to get across? Simple. Never be afraid to fight the good fight. We need heterogeneous groups of all races, genders, creeds and codes to decide how we will overcome the huge issues we face out in that big scary real world but here at DePauw as well. Make your voice heard especially if you have something to say, never be afraid to stand up for what is right even if the whole world stands against you, and use the amazing talents each of you possess to save our species from ourselves. Now get to work!

Softball clinches a share of third straight NCAC title BY MEG MORROW sports@thedepauw.com
In order to grab a portion their third consecutive North Coast Athletic Conference title, the Tigers had to rally back on the road against Wittenberg University in both games of their double-header on Wednesday, winning 4-3 both times. “We had been talking about the games all week,” first-year Morgan McCord said. “We knew they were a big deal.” Now the Tigers are 12-2 in the NCAC and 23-12 overall, while Wittenberg—after the sweep—sits at 9-5 in the NCAC and 16-14 overall. Both teams struggled to get their offensive attack going in the first game, making it through three full innings without a single hit from either side. “Their pitchers threw to our personal weaknesses and challenged us to hit well against our worst pitches,” senior Jennifer Ridge said. Ridge collected one of the Tigers’ six total hits in the first game—a single in the seventh inning. With the
most was sophomore Julia Waggoner who had two. The game was tied at the end of the seventh, which led to two extra innings. Waggoner led off the DePauw University ninth with a bunt single that got things started off in the right direction. Later in the inning, two Tigers would cross the plate leading to an eventual victory. “Wittenberg made us, as a team, stay focused for an entire game, and the extra innings, but we were playing nice and relaxed,” McCord said. As the second game began, the Tigers’ relaxed play came in handy once again, as game two was another nail biter. “Wittenberg was a challenging opponent,” Ridge said. ”It was a great feeling to be able to take two wins from them.” Down 3-2 in the sixth inning, the Tigers rallied again with two consecutive runs in the next two innings. “The post-game huddle was full of happy faces and smiling coaches which is always a good sign,” McCord said of the post-game atmosphere.
Winning part of NCAC title for the third year in a row is a huge accomplishment. “The team is ecstatic and so am I,” McCord said. “All of our conference games up to this point were team wins so winning this title is also a team win. We are all excited to continue on by playing our game.” Now, the Tiger’s have an advantage for the offseason. “I think the most important aspect of winning the NCAC title is being able to host the Conference Tournament,” Ridge said. “These last couple weeks are difficult academically and to be able to stay on campus for the conference tournament weekend will make a huge difference on the team stress level and focus.” The conference tournament is the key to advancing on to the NCAA tournament—which is the team’s ultimate goal. DePauw’s regular season finale is against the College of Wooster this Saturday. The game will be at DePauw with first pitch scheduled for 1 p.m.
Large first-half deficit too large for women's lax to overcome BY ABBY MARGULIS sports@thedepauw.com
DePauw University women’s lacrosse traveled to Granville, Ohio on Wednesday evening to face Denison University. After 86 minutes of competitive play the Tigers fell to the Big Red by a final score of 15-4. “It was hard because Denison has had a program for many, many years and are a very good and fast team,” firstyear Emma Flynn said. “Our defense had some really difficult plays they’d never seen before. They’re just a great team, and deserve a lot of credit.” The Tigers went scoreless until 8:06 was left in the first half when sophomore Taylor Summers put one up on the board making the score 8-1 going into intermission. Stepping onto the field for the remaining half of the game Denison led off with five more goals to widen the margin to 13-1. DePauw wasn’t going to let the Big Red defeat them by that big of a margin though. The Tigers came back and put three more goals in the back of the net to a final shot count of four. Flynn, junior Elizabeth McCracken and sophomore Nicole Gibson all scored for the Tigers. First-year goalie Liz Hawkins totaled 13 saves for the Tigers and sophomore Emily Scinta dominated on
groundballs picking up four. The Tigers played a tough defense, however, the Denison offense was able to break through them. “They were very fast and had a lot of great shots,” sophomore Annie Barrett said. “Denison’s a tough team and we couldn’t play as well as we’d hoped.” The Tigers played mostly a defensive game, but the women were still able to work the ball around and up the field. “We played a really great transition game yesterday, and did a lot of good movement on offense,” Flynn said. “Also, our defense played very well despite the score, they had great stops and quick slides, ending with great stops from Liz Hawkins.” After playing the Big Red, DePauw saw their overall record drop to 6-9 overall and 2-5 in North Coast Athletic Conference play. The Tigers will have their last chance to add another win to their record on Saturday against Alleghany College in Pennsylvania. “We are really looking to end our season on a high note, and play a great last game for our seniors,” Flynn said. “It’ll be really fun just to play together and have fun playing the sport we all love.”

Records already in hand, Dozier sets sights on a national championship BY AUSTIN CANDOR sports@thedepauw.com
The fact that Marcus Dozier is only a junior at DePauw University is hard to believe. And for good reason. Let’s start with where he stands in DePauw’s track and field history. As of now, he already holds the indoor and outdoor shot put record, and is six feet away from breaking the school’s discus record. Not bad for someone who made it his goal to outperform what he did his sophomore year. “After last semester, everyone just assumed…they [were] like, ‘oh, are you a senior?’” Dozier said. “Placing sixth at nationals [my sophomore year], I mean, that’s really, really hard to beat. But then I come into this season, and… break the record on the first meet, and qualify for indoor nationals…I’m very excited.” But Dozier hasn’t only impressed DePauw. He is currently ranked second nationally in shot put and 19th for his discus throwing. “What’s probably the best thing about Marcus is that he’s just a fun guy to be around,” Kori Stroffregen, DePauw track and field head coach said. “And so, it’s easy to coach him, and easy to be motivated by him. He wants to be
a lot better, so that’s what we’re all kind of striving for now.” Standing at 6’2" and 255 pounds, Dozier works out three to four times a week in season, watching what he eats the day before each meet. When it comes to practice, Dozier tries to make the environment as similar to a meet as he can. “You can’t change the weather at a meet,” Dozier said. “If it’s raining, I’m going to practice in the rain. I’m not going to go inside just to change things up.” While being one of the best is always a good position to be in, it has its challenges as well. Everyone has their eyes on Dozier, and of course, everyone wants to beat him. But Dozier welcomes the challenge. “Now the expectations there,” said Stroffregen. Tim Hreha (left) looks on as junior Marcus Dozier (right) practices the shot put behind Blackstock Stadium on Monday.

Baseball splits make-up series with Wabash TDP STAFF REPORTS sports@thedepauw.com
Three days after throttling Wabash College, DePauw University baseball made a return trip up to Crawfordsville to make-up a doubleheader that was postponed from Sunday. The Tigers split the two-game set on this occasion, winning the first game by a score of 15-10 and losing the nightcap 8-7. With the winds blowing out, both the Tigers and Little Giants feasted at the plate. The Tigers struck for five runs in the first inning of game one with the big blow coming off the bat of senior Cory Meixner in the form of a two RBI double. Starting pitcher, sophomore Mike Hammel, had things dealing for the Tigers and DePauw took a 5-1 lead into the fifth inning. It was here, however, that
both teams’ bats got going. The Tigers blew things open with three runs in the top of the fifth, while the Little Giants countered with one of their own. DePauw then hung up four more runs in the top of the sixth only to be followed by three in response from Wabash who knocked Hammel out of the game in the process. After the Tigers put up three more in the top of the seventh, the Little Giants were down to their final three outs trailing 15-5. Wabash did its best to get back in the game scoring five runs in the bottom half to pull back within five at the finish. Three different Tigers drove in three runs on the day. Meixner, sophomore Reid Pittard and junior Connor Einertson each drove in three of their teammates. Hammel earned the win, going six innings nine runs, eight of which were earned, on 12 hits, while striking out four and walking two.
In the second game, the Little Giants got revenge and salvaged the final game of the season series. Once again, the Tigers jumped out to a lead in the first, scoring one run on junior Lucas Italiano's single that chased home Pittard. This time, however, it was Wabash’s turn to get the big early inning. The Little Giants hung up five runs in the bottom of the second on three singles and a double. The Tigers actually managed to battle back and tie the game at five after scoring three runs in the top of the third and then one more in their half of the fourth. The Little Giants weren’t about to let this one slip away, though. Wabash scored what would go on to be the winning run in the bottom half of the fourth on an RBI single from Lucas Stippler and then added two more insurance runs in their half of the fifth to round out the scoring.
Italiano had the big day at the plate for the Tigers. The DePauw right fielder went 3-for-5 while driving in six of the Tigers’ seven runs on the day. Sophomore Riley Futterknecht saw his record fall to 1-2 on the season after lasting 4.2 innings and giving up eight runs, seven of which were earned, on seven hits, while striking out four and walking four. With the split, the Tigers wrap up North Coast Athletic Conference Western Division play with an 11-5 record and a 11-19 mark overall. The Tigers also locked up second place in the west and guaranteed that they will host the NCAC Cross-over series on the first weekend of May. DePauw will wrap up the regular season portion of its home campaign this weekend when they play a pair of games against both Washington UniversitySt. Louis and Case Western Reserve University.

They may have the bell, but we have most everything else BY JACOB LYNN sports@thedepauw.com
What sticks out in the minds of Tiger fans is the football team’s 27-3 loss to the Wabash College Little Giants in the Monon Bell Classic. That one hurt, but keep your heads up when looking at the rest of the schools’ season series. DePauw University played the Little Giants out to an overall record of 6-4-1 with all regular season meetings between the two schools completed for the 2014-2015 year. The fall sports didn’t go the Tigers' way, as the Little Giants held a 2-0-1 record as the schools shifted into winter athletics. The teams split the two games played on the hardwood, but the Tigers really turned things on in the spring season. In the three spring sports, DePauw held a record of 5-1 with three of those victories coming from the baseball team alone. Here’s a look back to all the head-to-head battles between the Tigers and Little Giants this sea
Soccer: DePauw 1, Wabash 1 After scoring goals just eight minutes apart, the Tigers and Little Giants battled to a draw on the soccer pitch. Wabash scored in the 32nd minute and sophomore Taras Tataryn followed up for the Tigers in the 40th. The two teams would go on to play 70 more minutes of scoreless soccer with neither team able to break the tie. Football: Wabash 27, DePauw 3 In the marquee matchup of the year for the two schools, the Little Giants came out victorious, holding onto the bell for the sixth straight year. Wabash scored on four of its first five possessions and the Tigers trailed by 10 at the end of the first quarter. DePauw’s only real chance to find the endzone came after sophomore quarterback Matt Hunt connected with senior J.D. Robinson for 74 yards who looked like he would score, but tripped himself up at the five yard line.
