this year’s event to have been successful.

“We surpassed our goals for participants and donations,” Ozog said.

He was also glad that the message behind the race, suicide prevention and awareness, received more exposure through the event.

According to the Suicide Prevention Resource Center, 18 percent of undergraduate students have seriously contemplated suicide at some point during their lives.

Ozog stressed that there are resources available to anyone who is in need of help. Just having a support group to which one can reach out can be helpful in these instances. The Wellness Center also offers counseling services for students who wish to have someone to talk to on campus.

ExactTarget, a digital marketing company, hosted a three-day conference for business people to learn about Internet marketing.

On Thursday, the last day of the conference, they held a student day that college students could register through their school and attend for free.

Several DePauw students took advantage of this opportunity, which was offered through the Hubbard Center. Many were Media Fellows who had been notified of the chance via email.

Students saw two high profile speakers: John Green, author and YouTube personality known for books like “The Fault in Our Stars,” and Mindy Kaling, actress, writer, director and producer known for her work on the shows “The Office” and “The Mindy Project.”

“It was so amazing,” said sophomore Media Fellow Madi McIntyre.

“I’m so grateful for the experience and the networking opportunities.”

Students left DePauw at 7:30 a.m. to arrive in time for Green’s speech at 9 a.m. He talked about being authentic online, but in a way that engages, in his case, viewers and readers. He told about what it felt like to collaborate and interact with an audience, which is what he thinks people and businesses should account for with their Internet presence.

After Green, those in attendance could go visit different booths from companies like Facebook, LinkedIn, Sears, Elizabeth Arden and DonorsChoose.org. People were encouraged to tweet using the hashtag #CNX14. However, many students did not spend much time with these companies. Seats for Kaling filled up quickly.

She also talked about how she uses social media to connect with her fans. She is very active on Twitter and Instagram, which she sometimes uses to interact with her fans. She discussed creating and running her own show where she could be the star. After she spoke, she answered questions from the audience. Some DePauw students solicited career advice for an aspiring television writers or asked if they

THE HISTORY: In its 163rd year, The DePauw is Indiana’s oldest college newspaper, founded in 1852 under the name Asbury Notes. The DePauw is an independent, not-for-profit organization and is fully staffed by students.

The fourth annual Be Great Today 5K race was held in the DePauw Nature Park on Saturday.

Through registrations, raffle ticket sales and donations, $4,650 were raised. Donations are still arriving. The money will go into Be Great Today’s endowment through the Putnam County Community Foundation. These funds will help create suicide prevention and

awareness programs in Putnam County, especially on DePauw’s campus.

About 175 people attended the event to run, walk or cheer at the finish line. Several families brought their dogs. There was a strong presence of DePauw alumni as well, including more than a dozen members of Beta Theta Pi Faternity from the pledge class of Marshall Mathew, the DePauw student to whose memory the race is dedicated.

First-year Lily Hickman got to join Kaling on stage and take a picture.

“It taught me how to efficiently network and that a great way to succeed is by being yourself,” Hickman said of the conference. “Also, getting a picture with Mindy Kaling was amazing.”

DePauw students enjoyed the chance to get away from campus, learn about marketing and see the speakers.

“It was a fantastic opportunity simply because Connections 2014 has made me realize how small the world is,” sophomore Claire Halfield said. “That it’s easy to connect with people who want to help you succeed in future careers.”

Ferguson panel promotes discussion on racial awareness

BY KEVIN KILLEEN news@thedepauw.com

In an attempt to promote campus discussion about race and social justice, Keith Nightenhesler, coordinator of convocations, organized a Ferguson panel discussion Thursday in the Union Building Ballroom.

The discussion was open to the public and hosted approximately 50 students and faculty. It began with a panel of eight professors sharing their experiences and opinions relevant to the the situation in Ferguson, where a black unarmed teenager, Mike Brown, was shot and killed by a white police officer, Darren Wilson, on Aug. 9.

While the Ferguson area has seen lots of looting and unrest since the incident, the DePauw community used the tragic event as an opportunity to have an “intellectual exploration and conversation,” Vince Greer, director of multicultural life services, said at the panel.

First to speak was Clarissa Peterson, a political science professor and the director of black studies. While she had the mic, she discussed President Barack Obama’s role in socially supporting blacks and referenced a shooting that happened earlier that day.

She showed a dash-cam video of a shooting where a South Carolina state trooper shot an unarmed driver after being stopped for a seat belt offense. No one was killed in the alteration, but Peterson used it to prove her point that police brutality is still ongoing.

“I hope we will broaden our horizons on issues of race and other inequalities and recognize we are not in a post-racial society,” Peterson said after the panel.

After the professors shared, the floor opened up for students to contribute and ask questions. Junior Mitch Metzger was one student actively asking questions.

“You have to put the majority of the conversation in the student body,” Metzger said. “Because we’re the ones who comprise

this university and define its social structure.

This was an important step, but only the first one.”

Once the open floor portion of the panel wrapped up, students and faculty grabbed flowers and participated in a vigil at Bowman Park for Mike Brown.

“I really appreciate portions of DePauw for really trying to reach out,” said junior Joel Borders, who is from St. Louis. “I think it was good for the DePauw community, especially for the multi-cultural community.”

Overall, students were pleased with how the panel handled conversation about racial awareness on campus.

“I thought it was run really well. We had a lot of interdisciplinary input, which is good,” Metzger said. “There’s political sides, social sides, there’s so many different parts to the issue, and to get a holistic view from all the faculty gives you a broader sense of the issue.”

A new professor in the Psychology department, Joseph Weaver, is from Mansfield, Ohio.

Weaver received his undergraduate degree from Bowling Green State University. He went on to Case Western Reserve University. In his four years at Case Western, Weaver garnered his Master of Arts and Ph.D. in psychology by 2013. Outside of being a professor, Weaver enjoys computer programming, graphical design and the general act of making things. The DePauw sat down with Weaver to find out a little more about him. Here’s what he had to say: The DePauw (TDP): Tell us about your involvement with psychology, both as a career and an academic discipline.

Joseph Weaver (JW): I’m an experimental psychologist, which is more on the research side, relative to a clinical pyschologist. I’m interested in emotions and cognition, and how they interlap. I look at it through several layers of analysis.

Here at DePauw I’m teaching Physiological Psychology, Sensation of Perception and Introductory Psychology.

In my research for emotions, I’m really interested in how the nervous system gets the body ready to respond to certain demands in the environment, and also how we interpret that activity when we think about our emotions. And I’m interested in how cognitive can allow us to regulate our emotions, so overriding that prepotent physiological response.

TDP: Can you give us some insight into your methodology as a professor?

JW: My approach is to really help students see the fully interconnected nature of everything we talk about in psychology, but also how that is cen-

tral to all the other disciplines. I really like to push students to think about things in a broader perspective, to take a moment and step back and say, “What are the broader implications of this? How does this affect my everyday life?”

TDP: How are you liking campus so far?

JW: It’s great. I’ve taught in liberal arts institutions before, and I really love the engagement of the students and the cross-disciplinary interaction.

The students are pretty motivated to understand the material, and the sense of community feels great, too. I really haven’t had a lot of time to spend around the area with students, but the time I do spend here has been great.

One thing I really like about DePauw is the heavy emphasis on teaching, which means do whatever you can to get the students engaged.

In Physio, we actually got to dissect some sheep brains, which was a lot of fun and students seemed to better appreciate the brain that was in their hand than the other one that was in their head maybe for a little bit. Hands-on stuff like that is always great, and just the on-going discussions are things that I look forward to every lecture.

TDP: What are you most looking forward to in your time at DePauw?

JW: I’ve always loved to see the evolution of thought in students as the semester progresses: asking some interesting questions at the beginning of the semester, giving some responses and revisiting those questions towards the end of the semester. To see how students change their approach to those questions is something I look forward to in every class.

YIK

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2014

YAK

BY TYLER MURPHY

features@thedepauw.com

The latest social media craze to hit campus “Yik Yak, it’s the new Erodr.”

That’s waht sophomore Xavier Camacho, a user of the anonymous social media app exploding on campus recently, said.

The idea of a campus-wide social media app is no stranger to DePauw students, since Erodr came on the scene last school year. Erodr allows students with a DePauw University e-mail to get connected with one another.

Erodr allows picture posts, as well as text, and it allows users to post anonymously once per day. Yik Yak, on the other hand, it totally anonymous, though with text posts only.

Where Yik Yak really differs, however, is that it uses location instead of emails. It displays the latest Yaks from people within 10 miles of the user’s phone.

Users don’t need to create an account, but to simply download the app. Users can then start posting, replying to other posts and “upping” them or “downing” them.

Two buddies, Tyler Droll and Brooks Buffington, who went to Furman University, a small liberal arts school not unlike DePauw, initially started the app.

Posts on the app so far range from random quotes from Nickelodeon’s “Spongebob Squarepants” to opinions on fraternities and sororities.

A hot topic seems to be the fact that first-years aren’t allowed on greek property at the moment. In fact firstyears seem to be the dominant class using the application.

“I feel like the firstyear lass uses it a lot,” said first-year Chris Kaercher. “It’s a nice way to let out our feelings without any backlash, since no one knows who is actually posting it.”

Students have been getting creative recently in their posts though, using the app as a dating service as well.

One recent post read, “Any boys or girls looking to have a nice make out?” In the replies there seemed to be a successful meeting at Marvin’s.

“The app definitely lets us know how thirsty everyone is,” Kaercher said.

Some posts are about the weather forecast for the day, or simply random thoughts of DePauw students.

One thing, however, that sets Yik Yak apart from Erodr is that anyone can get the app and start posting as well as read the posts. That means if someone is visiting DePauw and owns the app, they can read what people are posting. The same is also true of people in town or professors that are on campus.

A lot of students on campus enjoy posting, but an even larger number seem to like reading what other people have to say, like Camacho.

“I think it is the new hot thing to do,” Camacho said.

“I usually get on it while I’m board and don’t feel like doing homework or when I’m walking to class.”

Some DePauw students aren’t even aware of what the app is, like sophomore Cydni Alexander.

“I always hear people talking about it, but I really don’t know what the app actually is,” Alexander said.

Yik Yak is not only popular at DePauw, however, as it

ranks number 24 on iTunes Top Free Apps charts.

Some favorite Yik Yak locations include music festivals and in highly populated cities.

Jordan Philley, a sophomore at the University of Kentucky, says the app has been popular on their campus since last school year.

“For a lot of people at Kentucky, Yik Yak is the fastest way to find out what is happening on campus,” Philley said. “Unfortunately, a lot of times, it’s unreliable and just spreads rumors, but it has potential to be a great way for the campus to be in touch with one another.”

Laura Loy, a junior at DePauw feels like Yik Yak is more suitable for a big campus such as UK, but not necessarily for DePauw.

“I feel like having Yik Yak on such a small campus is stupid,” Loy said. “Not to mention, how do people even have the time to use it on this campus?”

Not all responses to the app are good as Philley and Loy suggested. With cyber-bullying being a big concern in today’s society, a lot of critics of the app argue that anonymous posting apps such as Yik Yak only encourage anonymous bullying of certain individuals.

DePauw is no exception. Already specific students as well as fraternities have been called out directly through the application.

These cyber-bullying allegations are concerning parents and students alike, with Yik Yak now shut down on middle and high school campuses nationwide.

This raises the question as to how much longer this seemingly harmless app will last on DePauw’s campus.

When being right is not enough

CONNOR GORDON

Yik Yak: the good, the bad and the icky Yik Yak, a new social media app, recently found its way onto DePauw University students’ smartphones.

The app allows users to post 200 character “yaks” about whatever they want (as long as yaks abide by the Terms and Conditions) under complete anonymity.

On Yik Yak’s website, the Terms and Conditions go into detail about what cannot be in a yak: harassment, pornography, racism, defamation and illegality, to name a few. “The Rules” section of the app itself is more vague. The biggest no-no is cyberbullying. Both rule one and two ban that. Rule number three is don’t post phone numbers. The final ban, number four, bans offensive yaks, but it doesn’t specify what constitutes an offensive yak.

People have mixed feelings about Yik Yak. School administrators are concerned about cyberbullying, despite the app’s bans. Middle and high schools across the nation have banned the app on their campuses. Norwich University in Vermont banned access to the app over university WiFi due to cyberbullying, according to a USA Today-College article from Sept. 24. College students using the app, however, don’t see these issues. In this issue, The DePauw reported that students on our campus think the app is good way to find out what’s happening on campus, share jokes and ultimately, become more unified. Yaks like “Division 3 sports. Division 1 squirrels,” “Purposefully stepping on all the leaves in Holton because FALL” and “Greek fair for sororities tonight!!! :D” support students’ opinions.

But for all the harmless ‘yaks’ on the feeds surrounding DePauw, there are just as many harmful ones. Yaks like “Yes I am thirsty. Sunday I’m thirsty for water.

Monday-Wednesday I’m thirsty for sleep. Thursday-Saturday I’m thirsty for b*tches and booze” reveal the party culture that’s prevalent on our campus. “To the girl who smiled at me while going through the gcpa – did not know music majors were sexy” points to the subtle yet real divide that exists between the CLA and music school, and “How much can’t could a white girl can’t if a white girl couldn’t even can’t” reveal the issues of privilege and inequality still prevalent in our society.

This editorial board isn’t here to pass judgment on Yik Yak. Rather, we would like to challenge our classmates to think about what they’re posting, anonymous or otherwise. When prospective students come to DePauw, they can see every yak we post, assuming they have the app. Are we displaying the DePauw University we want visitors to see?

Our yaks depict the culture of our university, with all its positives and negatives.

We can do two things with the culture Yik Yak shows us. We can say, “It’s fine this way” and do nothing, or we can look at the picture we’re shown of our community, decide the negatives are unacceptable and do something about them. email us at edboard@thedepauw.com

FRANKI ABRAHAM / THE DEPAUW

LETTER TO THE EDITOR On April 26, 1913, a thirteen-year-old girl was found assaulted and dead in Atlanta, Georgia. The death of Mary Phagan lit a fire under theunexpressed tensions in the community, and a man, Leo Frank, fell into the hands of the Southern lynch mob. Frank, who was abducted from his prison to face a tragic punishment, was a migrant Jew from Brooklyn, New York. He acted as superintendent of the National Pencil Company, where Mary worked and eventually faced her brutal end. Between Frank and two African-American men, Newt Lee and Jim Conley, the courts indicted and wrongfully convicted Frank—largely on circumstantial evidence.

The case of “The People vs. Leo Frank” and his subsequent lynching became a hotbed for many social issues troubling America: anti-Semitism, racism, distrust of outsiders and the disparity between the North and South reaching back to the Civil War. Nearly 80 years later, the story of Leo Frank and the court trial became the subject for Jason Robert Brown’s and Alfred Uhry’s musical “Parade.” DePauw Theater and the School of Music, with the support of the Prindle Institute for Ethics, will

present “Parade” October 9-12.

Many students have felt disconcerted and even agitated by the media presence of the production, including the posters and display case featuring the Confederate flag and noose.

These are symbols of our historic America, whose issues continue to plague our society. The appearance of such strong images strikes our secluded community, but these images are meant to stir up discussion. Over 100 years later, we still challenge the American identity. “Parade” begs the questions: How do we define our community and ourselves? What does it mean to feel at home?

To discuss the intellectual elements and social issues embedded in “Parade,” a panel discussion will take place on Friday, October 3 at 11:30 a.m. The panel will include Tim Good, Steven Linville, Beth Benedix and Vince Greer. The panel will be open to students, staff, faculty and the community to discuss the issues that troubled the South in 1913 and continue to afflict the country.

hat does it mean to be on the right side of history? It’s easy to look into the past and see where the line has been drawn. It has been found in leaders who have led social progress; those with strong convictions and stronger actions who have stopped at nothing to improve the societies in which they live.

I have little doubt that Dorothy Edwards will be remembered as one of these people. Edwards, best known for her Green Dot bystander intervention program that has dramatically reduced sexual assaults on several campuses, is a bit of a celebrity for those in the social justice crowd. So when given the opportunity to discuss the program with her, I jumped.

The conversation forced me to reevaluate what it means to be an ethical individual. And Edwards’s message is one that we all need to hear.

I count Edwards as one of our leaders because of her commitment to action. Though passionate about social justice, Edwards is unwilling to let ideology become an obstacle to reducing power-based violence. If this means compromising in a debate about the specifics of rape culture, so be it. As long as the individual is prompted to take positive action in the end, Edwards considers it a victory.

For some, her approach is radical. But it creates profound positive change, which forces us to reevaluate the role of ethics in our lives.

The righteous indignation that our personal ethics give us is a powerful

force. It has motivated some of the greatest activists of generations past and present, and feeling it in our own lives is particularly exhilarating.

But with this exhilaration comes a caveat. Personal ethics are powerful, and they afford us a certain comfort: the comfort of feeling right. And without care, it is easy to let this comfort foster walls of apathy, preventing us from taking action by trapping us in a bubble of ethical righteousness.

In such cases, it is almost second nature to dismiss lack of change as the fault of others. After all, we understand how things should be. We know where we stand on the right side of history. But, unless we pursue action to make our ideals a reality, our righteous indignation is wasted.

As ethical individuals, we are responsible for bettering the world around us. Whether this means doing our part to end systematic oppression or simply looking out for our friends is up to each of us to decide.

But regardless of the circumstance, we cannot let our ethics become barriers. We cannot morally take the high ground and justify lack of change based on the fact that, if such change ever occurs, then surely we would support it.

We cannot settle for the right side of history.

Being brave in this way is uncomfortable and sometimes even painful. But it is ultimately necessary to make our ethical ambitions a reality.

When you visit Edwards’ organization’s website, one of the first phrases that confronts you reads, “Live the Green Dot.” I would wholly recommend doing so.

But the most important part of this phrase is the action it demands: to live.

For it is only through hard-fought action that, when future generations look for the right side of history, they will know where we truly stood.

YikYak App speaks anonymously for DePauw’s sense of unity and responsibility VICTORIA HOUGHTALEN

I

n March of this year, the app Yik Yak started appearing on the tech-world screen. Yik Yak is a compilation of short, 200-character messages sent out within a 1.5 mile radius of a user. Developed by two graduates of Furman University, a private school in South Carolina, Yik Yak has taken off at over 100 college campuses nation-wide.

The app services one realm on the social media phenomenon not yet explored: anonymity. While other social media networks strive to serve the ego with follower ratios, retweets, likes, favorites or connections, Yik Yak is the first in its kind where all participants cannot be rewarded with a name badge. A unique experiment in social capital in itself, it is surprising how well the app has taken off: and DePauw is no exception.

Understand that the app is most popular, al-

though not exclusive, among DePauw’s first-years, the experience has allowed the smaller class a chance to get to know each other without the fear of an individual being pinned as having a specific reputation. Each person can anonymously post what they want as many times as they like. And there seems to be one rule among the freshmen: do not talk about what you posted. The joy of an app like this is the secrecy of it.

For the first time, an app has allowed us to be who we are without the fear of public perception.

I am so thankful for that sense of unity at a time where so many new faces are around me.

Unfortunately, not all Yik Yak discoverers feel this way. In fear of the component that gives the app its uniqueness — the anonymity — some users feel as if a dangerous door has been opened. The pitfalls of our media society, such as cyberbullying and threats, expand in scope when propogated by an app with no accountability.

And perhaps they aren’t so wrong.

On Sept. 17, an Indiana State University student posted on the app about his or her curiosity of a school shooting. The ISU Student Media webpage reports that within 90 seconds of the initial posting, the yak was taken down. Still, campus police

advised students to be cautious and took the threat very seriously, utilizing app administrators to track down the student who thought that the app’s anonymity was untouchable.

Fortunately, no event near this sort of seriousness has occurred on DePauw’s campus. The most rambunctious criminal activity reported on the app is the stealing of Longden Hall’s makeshift cardboard sign—which we still want back, by the way.

I think it speaks volumes of how DePauw’s users are handling the responsibility of the app. Perhaps it is because we all enjoy the beauty of the app or maybe because the new class understands that nothing is anonymous on the Internet. Nevertheless, DePauw’s campus has yet to abuse such a power.

So keep posting those Spongebob quotes, Tigers. The app’s benefits are far too grand for us to ruin it now.

Tigers earn fifth straight conference victory after blanking OWU

BY ABBY MARGULIS sports@thedepauw.com

The DePauw University Tigers’ field hockey team finished its North Coast Athletic Conference game against Ohio Wesleyan University with a fifth consecutive victory in conference play. The Tigers defeated the Battling Bishops by a final score of 4-0.

Coming off Wednesday’s slow start against Earlham College the Tigers stepped foot on the field Saturday afternoon ready to dominate.

Senior goalkeeper Maggie Steele commented that despite the teams’ “disheartened” slow start against Earlham, the women were able to act quickly to find the victory they are after in each game.

“I think it’s the strength of our team to be able to come out in the second half and make the necessary adjustments to maintain the shutout and secure a victory,” Steele said.

In Saturday’s matchup against Ohio Wesleyan, the fans saw the Tigers strength from the first whistle. The women thrived, as they were able to work together with every member present on the field.

“We played as one unit, passing, moving to help each other and backing each other up,” first-year Reilly Bruce said. “Everyone worked really hard on and off the field so we could beat Ohio Wesleyan.”

The women took control immediately from the beginning, spending most of their time on Ohio Wesleyan’s defensive end. In the first half, the Battling Bishops were unable to fire a single shot on Steele while the Tigers had their fair share of shots on Ohio Wesleyan’s goalkeeper, Jackie Feliciano, a first-year.

Going into the game the women’s focus was to spread the field and use back passes to the defenders to help diversify the play.

“We did a really good job at incorporating the defensive line into our offensive play,” sophomore Jamie Stoner said.

“We really tired to pass back to our defense so they could switch the field and move the ball to the open space.”

Junior Grace Goodbarn scored the first goal on an assist from senior Maggie Campbell in the 14th minute of the game. Bruce then found the back of the cage on a rebound after senior Grace Fisher took a shot.

In the second half, the Tigers wasted no time in raising the score to 3-0 in the first minute as Campbell finished on first-year Paige Berliner’s shot. Bruce scored her second goal on a penalty corner late in the second half to put the game away.

As the Tigers are already halfway through their season, they are proud of what they have accomplished and look forward to perfecting their game in the remainder of the regular season.

“This week in practice we are going to continue to work on our game play and smaller parts of our game to be ready to play Wittenberg University on Saturday,” Bruce said.

“Everyone works really hard in practice, as we try to practice hard like we play in our games. “ The team is also going to continue working towards creating open space and using each player on the field to help create the best play to score a goal, Stoner said.

DePauw will play host to Wittenberg University at 6 p.m.

Saturday at Reavis Stadium.

Missed opportunities, losses piling up for women's soccer

BY AUSTIN CANDOR sports@thedepauw.com

According to players and coaches alike, Kenyon College was not the better team.

In fact, sophomore forward Elizabeth Seewer summed up DePauw University’s 1-0 loss Saturday at Reavis Stadium against the Ladies in one sentence: “We should have won.”

“We had the majority of control and more dangerous chances than they did,” DePauw head coach Megan McCormick said. “With the shots we took and the times we got in behind their back line, we just had to do a better job of finishing.”

Kenyon’s only goal came in just the fifth minute of the game on a free kick, where junior defender Marie Laube connected with sophomore forward Maggie Smith for her second goal of the season.

The final 85 minutes proved to be a scoreless duel between the Tigers (2-5-1, 0-1-1) and Ladies (4-5-1, 1-0), with DePauw’s junior goalkeeper Sarah Cho tallying seven saves.

“Kenyon was one of the more technical teams we played so far this season,” Cho said. “Their defense knew how to take some of our chances away, but they weren’t always successful.”

This was Cho’s first full game as goalkeeper, having replaced senior Emma Cooper last weekend during the Tiger’s game against Hiram College when Cooper left due to a head injury. “[Cho] played big minutes against Kenyon… and helped give us an opportunity to win the game,” McCormick said. “It’s one of those thankless jobs when you’re not always the starting goalkeeper. There’s a tremendous amount of pressure.”

On offense, the Tigers only managed seven shots, with two of them being on goal, while Kenyon took

13 shots, eight of them on goal. However, the Tigers seemed to have more opportunities to put the ball in the back of the net.

“Their defense was nothing special,” Seewer said. “[But] they communicated pretty well and pressured well too — that’s part of the reason we couldn’t score.”

Last year’s game against Kenyon was a completely different story, as DePauw won 2-1 in double overtime.

Saturday's loss was the Tiger’s first against a conference team, after tying Hiram 2-2 in last week’s North Coast Athletic Conference opener. The remaining six games of the season will determine how the Tigers line up for the tournament, as five of them come against conference teams.

One of the team’s preseason goals was to advance to the second round of the NCAA Division III tournament.

To get there, the team has to finish in the top four of its conference while also winning the conference tournament.

“I think there’s a certain sort of reality that sets in when conference play starts… this is the path that we have to go down if we want to get to the goal we set,” McCormick said. “So the focus is different and the intensity is a little different. There’s a bigger reality that lives during conference play.”

This Saturday, the Tigers continue conference play, as they take on The College of Wooster, who carries an impressive season record of 7-3. Heading into the weekend, the team looks to capitalize on any opportunity to score.

“We need to work on finishing our shots and taking more risks out on the game field,” Cho said. “Not every ball played is going to be perfect. You can’t score if you don’t shoot.”

Saturday’s home game against the Fighting Scots will start at 2:30 p.m. at Reavis Stadium.

Slow start dooms men's soccer against second ranked Kenyon Lords

BY JACOB LYNN sports@thedepauw.com

Wednesday, the Tigers (6-4, 1-1) got off to a slow start against Anderson College and came out unscathed.

Saturday afternoon, however, DePauw University wouldn’t get so lucky when they took on the second ranked team in the nation.

The Kenyon College Lords (9-0, 1-0) handed the Tigers their first North Coast Athletic Conference loss, defeating DePauw 1-0.

It was a tale of two halfs for the Tigers who struggled mightily from the opening whistle until halftime but were then able to turn the momentum around in the second half, coming up just short.

“We were terrible the first half and great in the second,” DePauw head coach Brad Hauter said. “So it was great to see the guys pull it together and make it a match during the last 45 minutes. We did a better job of holding and moving the ball which makes a team have to defend and wears them down.

In the first half we didn't keep the ball, and so we were the ones chasing the game.”

The awful first 45 minutes for the Tigers concluded when Kenyon’s Henry Myers beat DePauw goalkeeper, senior Jake Pezzuto with less than one minute to play in the half.

“Fatigue definitely played a role, we were defending for the majority of the first half, and everyone was mentally tired and physically tired,” Pezzuto said. “Unfortunately all it takes is one mistake like that, one play to switch off and a good team will capitalize on it.”

For the Tigers, the goal could not have come at a more inopportune time.

“Those are terrible goals to give up and ones that energize opponents,” Hauter said.

“While it has that impact, our guys did well to navigate it and played a great second half.”

DePauw was outshot 9-3 in the opening half and spent much of the time defending on their half of the field.

Despite the hit to momentum the Tigers took after the goal, DePauw looked like a different team in the second half.

“Kenyon didn't have any chances really in the second half, even after we started pressing high and leaving ourselves open in

the back in the last 10 minutes to equalize,” Pezzuto said. “They still only had really one chance.”

The Tigers best chance of the afternoon came in the 85th minute when senior Brandon Johnson headed a ball into the back of the net only to have the linesman call it back because of offsides.

The DePauw bench was quick to argue the call, and Johnson was even awarded a yellow card for his protest.

However, after letting the tempers cool off and after seeing footage of the game, Hauter and his players have come to agree with the call.

“I thought so in the run of play,” Hauter said, “but we had some former players that were in line with the play and thought he was offsides.”

Senior Andy Morrison agreed.

“I think Brandon was slightly offsides,” Morrison said, “but it was still a great finish.”

On Saturday, DePauw missed a chance to make a complete circle. The loss comes exactly a year after the Lords came to Greencastle and ended DePauw’s streak of 10 wins to open the 2013 season.

Now for the Tigers, it’s time to move forward as they face a tough road ahead in the rest of NCAC competition. They will play host to The College of Wooster Saturday at noon.

“We [will] train hard this week and put the past behind us,” Pezzuto said looking forward. “The result of the last game makes no difference to us. We move forward one game at a time.”

It’s important that they don’t look too far ahead because following Wooster they travel to Ohio Wesleyan University, a yearly matchup usually filled with fireworks.

“I think we are doing a pretty good job of taking it one game at a time,” Morrison said.

“I haven't heard anyone talking about the OWU game yet.”

The Tigers do have some history of getting too far ahead of themselves.

“Two years ago Wooster came in and pulled two points from us because we came out flat and may have been looking towards OWU at that time,” Hauter said. “I trust that our guys know how valuable three points is for our goal of getting in the conference tournament.”

Tigers get first shutout since '09 against Kenyon

BY ERIC ST. BERNARD sports@thedepauw.com

For the first time since the 2009 football season, the DePauw University Tigers defense was able to shut out their opposition, en route to a 24-0 Family Weekend victory against the visiting Kenyon College Lords at Blackstock Stadium.

The DePauw offense, led by sophomore quarterback Matt Hunt, scored a touchdown in each of the first three quarters and capped off the scoring with a 28-yard field goal by sophomore Marko Adams with 9:56 to go on the fourth quarter.

With 7:04 left in the first quarter, junior halfback Amen Galley scored a two-yard touchdown to give DePauw the early lead. The run came as a result of a 10-play, 58-yard drive, which accounted for three minutes and 27 seconds of game time.

Galley, unofficially donned by fellow DePauw track mates “the fastest man at DePauw,” is off to an impressive start, averaging 69 yards per game and 4.1 yards per rush over the Tigers’ three games thus far.

First-year running back Jack Gruber provided the lightening to Galley’s thunder, rushing for 56 yards on 10 attempts. Gruber scored DePauw’s last touchdown of the game, a 19-yard burst up the middle with six and a half minutes left in the third quarter.

DePauw’s second-quarter touchdown came at the hands of Gruber’s first-year classmate,

wideout Jack Hagan. Hagan caught a six-yard toss from Hunt in the back of the end zone, as the final seconds of the first half wound down.

“I had family that came to the game,” Hagan said. “After the game, they congratulated me and told me how proud they were.

Getting to play as a freshman is exciting enough, and scoring a touchdown made it that much more of a neat experience.”

Hunt recorded 12 completed passes in 26 attempts, closing out the game with 188 passing yards and one touchdown completion.

A 77-yard chunk of Hunt’s total came on the last offensive play of the third quarter, when he connected with junior receiver Connor Jeffers on deep post route. The play followed a Kenyon fumble in it’s own red zone, which was recovered by sophomore linebacker Thomas Gray.

The offensive series reflected key themes in the Tiger’s first shut out after half decade– the Tiger defense providing opportunities, and the Tiger offense capitalizing on them.

Even with the breakout performances of two of coach Bill Lynch’s offensive specialists, the Tigers’ defense remains Saturday’s biggest fixation.

“We were playing an offense that hadn't had consistent success,” said veteran defensive back, junior Adam Folta. “But it also meant that we
