Reported sexual assaults almost double on DePauw’s campus BY MADISON DUDLEY Managing Editor news@thedepauw.com
During the first two months of this academic year, there has been one sexual assault reported to Public Safety, according to Angie Nally, DePauw University’s director of Public Safety. There were 11 reported rapes on DePauw’s campus in the last calendar year. This is an increase from the six reported rapes in 2014. The information comes from the University’s Annual Security Report and Fire Safety Report, or the Clery Report, posted on Oct. 1. Other information included in the 38 page document was the history of sexual offences and acts of dating violence on DePauw’s campus over the last three calendar years. In 2015 there were six incidents of fondling, compared to one in 2014. Three dating violence offences in 2015 and an incident of domestic violence. However, there were no incidents of stalking in 2015, compared to the four reported
in 2013 and the one reported in 2014. Sophomore Kiara Goodwine had the misfortune of experiencing what she referred to as targeted harassment when living on DePauw’s campus over the summer for an internship, and she does not feel safe. “It was hard for me to come back,” Goodwine said. While living in campus housing, Goodwine experienced an act that she stated broke the University’s code of conduct and Title IX. The incident involved a male student and Goodwine said she became the victim of violation and harassment, and believes her gender and sexuality served as a key factor. “I was really scared and unsure of what to do,” Goodwine said. She said she called Public Safety and was asked by the operator on the line why it took her so long to respond. She reports her call was only made 40 minutes after the incident. “The first thing that was asked was are you sure this isn’t an accident,” Goodwine said. “There was immedi Continued on page 2

A DePauw University faculty meeting held Thursday was closed to students in order to discuss the University’s policy on academic freedom. “It was closed because it was more or less a chance for us to share the interactions that some of us have had,” said Howard Brooks, professor of physics and astronomy, and chairperson of faculty meetings. The concern about academic freedom and its impact on students came mostly from the Psychology and Neuroscience department. Faculty were thinking about proposing changes to the University’s academic policy that would more clearly define how the school would address certain topics of concern. A point of concern
UNSAFE Cont. from pg. 1 ately a want to not believe me.” College women are three times more likely to experience a rape or sexual assault during their four years at a university. It is estimated that out of every 1,000 women attending a college or a university, there will be 35 incidents of sexual assault each academic year, according to research done by the National Institute of Justice in 2000. In the 2015-2016 academic year, there were 1,209 female students enrolled at DePauw. According to the Rape & Abuse Incest National Network (RAINN), one in every six U.S. women will be the victim of an attempted or completed sexual assault. Additionally, women between the ages of 12-34 are statistically at a higher chance to become the victim of an act of sexual violence. Male college students are five times more likely to be sexually assaulted than non-college students. One out of every ten rape victims are male. Denison University and Oberlin College experienced nine re-
was how safe spaces should be conducted. The idea of academic freedom first came about in 1940. DePauw draws its policies on academic freedom from the 1940s statement on academic freedom and tenure from the American Association of University Professors. The meeting was reported to be like a conversation about all of the elements of academic freedom and what should be discussed in classrooms. “What I admired about the conversation is that it was a difficult conversation that people really engaged in,” said Anne Harris, vice president for academic affairs. The meeting was based on the University of Chicago’s statement from last January about how they valued freedom of expression. No legislation has been proposed to change the academic freedom policy in place at DePauw.
There was push back from professors about the ideas of banning trigger warnings and safe spaces. “Here at DePauw there was a resistance to that intolerance to safe spaces and intolerance to trigger warnings,” Harris said. Part of the concern was how the University has defined academic freedom. “It’s not to be confused with freedom of speech,” Harris said. “Academic freedom really is what do professors have the freedom to talk about in the classroom.” The professors who met talked about ways to prevent students from feeling marginalized or hurt. “Part of the solution is we need to preface these things,” Brooks said. “Putting things in context was discussed.” Students at DePauw are generally supportive of the academic freedom on campus. “Personally, I think that it is important that people are challenged by different ideas that aren’t necessarily the ideas that they
have now,” said sophomore Emily Troyer. Faculty members were also collectively informed about how bias incidents in the classrooms are handled. The first step in handling a biased incident in a classroom is bringing it to a level of discussion and then working to ensure professors are aware of their impact and how they can intervene in biased situations in their classrooms. The response to biased incidents works to make sure people understand how what they are saying impacts those around them. Harris feels responses to bias incidents and academic freedom go well together and both make DePauw a respectable academic institution. “Academic freedom preserves the freedom to make mistakes,” Harris said, “but the responsibility to address that mistake is still there.”
ported rapes in 2015. Out of the Great Lakes College Association, DePauw University recorded the highest rate of rape for 2015. “I don’t ever want us judging our success based on others,” said Renee Madison, DePauw’s Title IX coordinator and senior advisor to the president for diversity and compliance. “We’ve (DePauw) got to hold ourselves to a higher standard respectively.” When reporting an act of sexual violence, all faculty members are considered “responsible employees” and must report if a student approaches them and states that they have experienced a sexual assault. This information goes directly to Madison and other Title IX administrators at which point a student can decide whether or not to go through an investigation. Students can also decide to commence an investigation through Public Safety. If the investigations through either of these paths produce enough evidence, the reports are then sent through the University’s administrative judicial process. If a student is found responsible for an act of sexual violence through this process, the highest
degree of punishment the University can provide is expulsion and restriction from entering campus. The process takes around 60 days to be completed. If a student wants the situation handled legally, they can contact Public Safety or the Greencastle Police Department for a criminal investigation. “Sexual assault is a crime, it’s a disaster for everyone involved, for the families, for the friends, for the perpetrator and the victim,” said President Mark McCoy. “That’s a place that if we can help college students avoid in any way, it’s worth investigating.” Both Madison and Nally encourage students to report acts of sexual assault to the University. When an assault is reported, there are actions taken to help students who have been affected by sexual trauma, be it through either altering their academic or living situation. The accused student in the incident involving Goodwine did not receive any punishment from the University. Goodwine is frustrated and disappointed. “I did everything right that I was supposed to do and it still wasn’t right,” she said. “The administration did not support me.” The safety of women on De-
Pauw’s campus is important to McCoy. “As the father of three daughters this is something that is big on my mind,” he said, but when looking at campus safety, McCoy wants to focus on the safety of DePauw as a whole. “I am very concerned about everyone’s safety on this campus, in every imaginable way.” McCoy wants to concentrate on operational ways the University can improve safety. “There’s things that we can do for each other,” McCoy said. “Increase the dialogue and the awareness of how we work to keep each other safe, and safe from everything.” One factor McCoy discussed that plays a role in high campus sexual assault is alcohol. “We’re taking young people, in a confined space, adding alcohol and often that then creates the challenge that we face,” McCoy said. “Often these things are related to alcohol.” Goodwine does not agree. “Personally, I don’t think acts of sexual violence or harassment are caused by substances,” Goodwine said. “The motivation is going to be there regardless of alcohol of drugs.” -This is the first installment of a three part series-

Birthday books become more vague BY EMMA MAZUREK News Editor news@thedepauw.com
This year’s birthday books, which local vendors use to prevent underage drinking, will be a little less specific than in years past. The birthday book is a list of student names and birthday information, created and given out by DePauw University to all businesses in Greencastle that sell alcohol. Originally, the birthday books contained a student’s full name and their exact birth date, but because of the student government legislation passed, the books now only contain the name, birth month and year. The birthday books have existed for more than ten years so far, and work to curb underaged drinking. “The birthday books were started in order to make sure that only students who are twenty one and older are purchasing alcohol,” said Student Body President, Claire Ha lffield.
“They do that for a lot of reasons, and the biggest one is ensuring student safety.” During the 2015-2016 academic year, DePauw Student Government proposed legislation to limit the information given out in the birthday books. This legislation was passed by Casey’s administration during the spring semester and implemented over the summer. However, student government was just informed of the change several weeks after the start of this semester. The purpose of the books is to prevent underage students from buying alcohol with fake identification. The books are found in all bars and restaurants that sell alcohol in Greencastle, including all liquor stores, Kroger and Walmart. The reduced information in the books came about as a result of student concerns about private information. “It’s a problem because people would be able to use your name and your birthdate
to unlock other information about you,” said Halffield. Birthdates and full names are sometime used by companies or doctors as a way confirming a person’s identity. “It’s really scary to think that your full name and full date of birth are the things that were on this book,” Halffield said. Student government is happy they were able to have some influence in the change to the books, but there are still some issues left to be addressed. “It’s something that is pretty nice, but of course it is still troubling that there are these books, and we wish there were other ways that the University could address underage drinking” Halffield said, “But at the same time it’s good they changed the specific information so students feel more comfortable.” Some students still feel that the information given out is too much and wish that the books did not exist. “I think it’s an invasion of privacy from the University,” said sophomore Joshua Selke,
“I think it is inappropriate that the University would give out private information from students, specifically those of marginalized identities who don’t feel safe with people in Greencastle having certain information about them.” The University feels the birthday books help vendors prevent students from using fake identification in their businesses. “Anecdotally, we do receive a lot of information from our very near vendors when they confiscate IDs and that they have crossed referenced them with the Birthday book,” said Angie Nally, director of Public Safety, “I think our vendors very much appreciate the birthday book because it is so easy to get a fake identification in this day and age that lots and lots of people have them.” The birthday books are still being changed and worked on by the Administration. “Honestly I think there have been other steps taken since the DSG letter that make it work so I think it’s probably fine,” said President Mark McCoy.
However, there has been some criticism in regards to how effective these books can truly be. “One thing that it does neglect is anyone who chooses to go to a house party and drink alcohol, obviously there’s not someone there with a birthday book standing at the door,” Halffield said. In addition, these books have caused problems for some students and some Greencastle residents. Some students of legal age have trouble purchasing their alcohol if the clerk is not able to find their name. Greencastle residents who are near college age, but do not attend DePauw, have difficulty purchasing alcohol because clerks believe they are students, but are unable to find them in the book. One change people also hope to see implemented is better training for spotting fake identification. “I don’t think that fake ID’s are very prevalent on our campus,” Halffield said, “I would like to see more training so bouncers can more easily spot fake ID’s rather than having to pull out a book.”
Panel reviews 2016 election through racial, gender lens BY ALEXA JENKINS Staff writer news@thedepauw.com
Donald Trump’s 2016 election strategy has unearthed the racial division of the nation, energizing rural, uneducated, and white supporters, as described by Assistant Professor of Africana Studies, Emmitt Riley, to an audience of 80 late Tuesday afternoon. “He (Trump) appeals to the bigotry of many Americans,” Riley said. Riley was one of the four DePauw University professors who spoke about race and gender in the election. The gathering was sponsored by Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies. “His answer to healing race relations in the nation, it was law and order. That was code, that was a dog whistle for lock
the negros up who are protesting for police brutality,” said Riley when explaining how Trump appeals to the racial attitudes of his supporters. He further explained that 90 percent of Trump supporters believe blacks should work harder, and 92 percent believe blacks should build themselves up higher professionally without any special treatment. “When we look at levels of racial resentment, it’s off the charts,” he explained. This idea of the divide between black and white attitudes was addressed by Clarissa Peterson, professor of political science. “Maybe we are as divided as they’re exploiting right now,” points out Peterson in an attempt to answer whether or not black and whites are truly separated. She further explains that data has shown 43 percent of white people describe black people as
lazy. However when it came to using the term lazy to describe white people, only about 6.3 percent of whites agreed. “There is something seriously wrong if we have different expectations and descriptions for people based on their race,” Peterson said. Peterson also related the differing reality of blacks and whites to voters’ attitudes towards Trump. Only about 40 percent of whites dislike Trump, compared to over 63 percent of blacks. “Maybe that is why we can end up in a situation where we have candidates that go after people in different ways and really aren’t that interested in trying to court both groups, at least the Trump campaign doesn’t seem as interested in courting both groups,” Peterson said. Whereas Peterson and Riley honed in on race issues revolving Continued on page 4

Emilie Townes’ Mendenhall Lecture rescheduled for October BY SAM CARAVANA Editor-in-Chief news@thedepauw.com
Emilie M. Townes, the Dean of Vanderbilt University Divinity School, will present on the necessity of peace and justice as Christian values on Oct. 10. The event was previously scheduled for November of last year, but was abandoned due to travel problems. The rescheduling of the event was announced by DePauw University on Oct. 4. The presentation, which is a part of the Mendenhall Lectures, will be given in Gobin Memorial United Methodist Church at 7:30 p.m.. Townes background, while extensive, mainly focuses on postmodernism and womanist theology. Womanist Theology is a discipline that critically looks at religion and its practices through the lens of African-American women. She is the author of four books on religion including, “Womanist Ethics and the Cultural Production of Evil.” In 2008, Townes became the first African-American woman to be elected president of the American Academy of Religion.

GUES T COLUMN BY CONNOR BURGESS Features Columnist features@thedepauw.com
Anyone who talks to me will find that I have a general dislike of the country music genre. To clarify, I do not mean downhome, bluegrass country; I mean the pseudo, pop country that has seemed to ravage the local airwaves, especially around DePauw’s campus. Nonetheless, when I saw the album “Darlin” appear on my iTunes preview, my finger instinctively flexed back a bit, beginning to brace myself for another faux-country outfit. Oh, how wrong I was. The band Goodbye June reminds me that country— well, folk rock—still has its roots in all the right places. Made up of cousins Landon Milbourn, Brandon Qualkenbush and Tyler Baker, the trio formed after the passing of Baker’s brother. The event gave them their name, a focal point, and a visceral tragedy to build from. “Darlin” is pure and raw; there are no sappy, cliché lyrics that plague the album. In my opinion, Goodbye June is a group that threatens the placid nature of a style that’s lost its way. Infused equally with riffs that remind me of Van Halen, Hendrix and Jimmy Page, Goodbye June takes me down a very different country road, and I am certainly thankful for it. The EP opens with “Oh No,” a
biting track that lends the best of folk, rock and country, all tied together beautifully with Milbourn’s gritty voice. However, it was the song “Danger in the Morning” that really caught my ear. One would be remiss not to compare it to Led Zeppelin; the banjo in this track takes the song to the band’s midwestern and southern roots. It is a track that I would expect to hear in the TV show “Sons of Anarchy,” and it tells me that the EP is but a small taste of the bands full range and offering. Goodbye June, to me, is a statement. It is so far removed from anything in the country scene currently. Their EP sits miles ahead of the competition; it is a unique sound that dares you to listen to more. It is honestly a challenge not to do so. I found myself replaying it over and over again. I generally say that bands are “worth a listen,” but truly, you’d be foolish not to do so here. Watch the airwaves closely, folks. Goodbye June is coming, and they are going to hit hard--you heard it here first.

Who we are and what we do What is The DePauw? We are a student run newspaper, not the New York Times. We are not connected to the University in any way other than the name and our 100 year lease on the newsroom in the PCCM for a few dollars. Speaking collectively, we at The DePauw try to serve as the voice of the student body. Our job is to tell the community what is happening, why it’s happening and give all sides a voice. Every article needs three sources, needs to be in the past or future tense (not present) and should be around 500 words. There can be no plagiarism and no editorializing. We state facts and quotes, and try to stay as far away from our own opinions as possible. We want to let you in on what’s happening around you, not convince you to think one way or another. Most of us have never taken a formal news writing course. Most of us came into the newsroom during our freshman year and wanted to write something and see our names in print. I say this because a lot of us are still learning, and The DePauw gives us the opportunity to make mistakes, read our critique the next day, and hopefully improve our next issue. Our supervisors, who take care of us, teach us and critique us are: Samuel Autman, professor of english, Miranda Spivack, visiting Pulliam Professor in Journalism, and Jonathan Nichols-Pethick, the guy in charge of the PCCM, who occasionally leaves us pizza. Our staff comes in on their own time, and we try to put out a 16 page issue once a week. A lot of us are Communications or English majors, but some of us are Studio Art, Economics, Conflict Studies, Geoscience, and Computer Science majors. We come in after 4 p.m. on Tuesdays and sit in the newsroom until 1 a.m. making jokes, throwing things at each other and trying to get the paper to the presses by midnight, but we never do. At the end of the day, we want everyone’s voice to be heard, and we respect everyone’s opinion. We are a staff of 20 in a school of over 2,000. We try to represent the students as best as we can, but it can be hard. If we do something wrong, tell us. If we offend you, tell us. If you want to have a say in what we write, what we photograph, and how we design, you are welcome to come in, sit with us, and make content with us. Our door is always ~figuratively~ open. We are students, but we are dedicated and we want to be as objective as possible. Do we make mistakes? Yes. But do we care? Yes, we really care. If you’re interested in our weird family dynamic, please come to a story board meetings, which are held every Sunday and Wednesday in the PCCM at 4 p.m.. There will be stickers. We are here for the students; we are here for you.

Sleeping in solitude: finding a place to relax at DePauw Joshua Selke Last week a Letter to the Editor posed the question: “How Harmful is Segregated Housing to Campus Diversity?” So to start, I would like to give a little information about me: I am not affiliated with any Greek chapter, I am a white man, and I also identify as gay. Currently, I am a sophomore living in the Rainbow House, and I lived in Bishop Roberts last year. In my first week at DePauw I felt like I had to make my identity known. I was gay and proud of it. With my openness came drawbacks; certain students wouldn’t want to be in the same environment as me and people made homophobic comments. This combination made me feel unwelcome. A university that touted diversity and inclusion as I was applying, did not seem so diverse or inclusive in practice. I do want to note that I do not speak for the entirety of the LGBTQ+ community and that I thankfully have
not experienced some things other people at DePauw have, like physical or sexual assault due to my sexual orientation. After my freshman year, I hoped no other students would have to experience homophobia and could find a place of comfort in the optional housing provided by DePauw. Unlike the DePauw bubble, in the “real world,” we are free to choose where we live and which communities we are a part of. At DePauw, your choice is limited to a few different boxes you can check off. While the living situation on the Rainbow Floor may give students a different experience than I had, many will still experience homophobia on campus. They will still walk into many places that are not welcoming for their identities. These experiences will not stop existing with the advent of the Rainbow Floor. I would like to tackle the questions in the original Letter to the Editor. As for the title, “How Harmful is Segregated Housing to Campus Diversity?” It’s important to define these terms. Segregation is when a group is required to stay in or out of certain spaces, which is not true in this instance. The Rainbow Floor is an optional
floor where students are able to live there whether they identify as LGBTQ+ or as an ally of the community. I would agree that segregated housing would be harmful to campus, but the Rainbow Floor is not segregation. It’s an optional living situation. The author also poses the question, “Is it healthy to allow students the option of not integrating with students dissimilar to themselves in a residential setting?” If the voluntary partition of one group from another on the basis of shared interests is what the author deems segregation, then I would like to point to Greek houses. These housing arrangements have long been a part of DePauw. Lastly, the question “Does it foster an us-them dynamic?” is brought up. I want to note that our identities themselves have othered us and minority groups on this campus are constantly treated as the “them” group whether they have special housing accommodations or not. People will still be discriminatory to minorities regardless of where they live. Lastly, I ask this question to the original author: is it harmful to a student’s well-being to rob them of choice and force them into housing that already labels them as the “other”?

Words from my father BY NATU MCCARTHY Opinions Columnist opinions@thedepauw.com
I would like to thank everyone who attended DePauw Dialogue. You challenged your cultural understandings and engaged in an alternate way of learning. I hope that each of you actually left the event with something
more. While it may seem short sighted to understand how one day like this can influence people who are the target to social injustices day by day, your attendance proved that we, as DePauw, are willing to contribute to the work that will build a better tomorrow for everyone. However, I can’t stress enough - this is only the
beginning. Attending this event for a few hours loses all of the event’s intentions and merit if we don’t continue having these discussions, asking questions, and being brutally honest to ourselves and one another. It’s on us to use the momentum developed from DePauw Dialogue to not only be aware that there is a systemic problem, but also to
be a piece of the solution. Following DePauw Dialogue last week, I felt like many members of my fraternity were failing to expand or apply on what they learned when they returned to their comfortable living spaces. I called some of my friends back home who know me inside and out. I discussed with them my uncertainties of being associated with a white fraternity house that doesn’t share my zeal for fighting social injustices. They all told me if they were in my shoes, they would decommit, or even join an African-American house. Honestly, I was convinced and willing to give up the fight... until I talked to my father. My father was born in Liberia in 1942 and studied at Missouri State University on a government scholarship. He experienced the race riots of the 60s and saw first hand what divisions between races can cause in the land of the free. During the Liberian civil war, he witnessed ultimate strife and saw first hand how harsh a society can become if all the constructs that work towards community are inept. When speaking with my father, I spilled my frustrations with how we as a culture (not just members of my fraternity) are desensitized to social injustices. Watching the news and seeing a black person killed. Massacred. Whether or not with due or undue reasoning, our hearts may ache for the moment, but a week later we pretend like nothing happened. We act as if time, by itself, will cure this systemic problem and stop it from occurring again. He listened to my frustrations, agreed with some of my qualms, but differed on my intentions to leave Phi Kappa Psi. My father told me that if I want to carry the waves of my passion, I cannot give up
on my fraternity at the onset of adversity. My father told me that I cannot be frustrated if I cannot influence a whole fraternity to adopt my view on progressive behaviors by attending one single event. My father told me that if I influence one mind, that one mind may inspire the next. He told me I have to continue sharing my thoughts with my brothers and others, staying attentive, and engaging with others within the afflicted communities. Out of all his advice, what resonated with me the most , was my father telling me that I too must be willing to listen, be patient, and active in learning from you guys at the same token. He illustrated to me the dynamic that everyone needs to imbibe for us to progress as men, members of a fraternity, members of the DePauw community, and people of America. We have to (1) stay resilient in our pursuits, (2) be culturally aware, (3) effectively communicate, (4) effectively listen, and (5) be willing to learn from one another’s experiences before we build a community, for everyone, together. Neither I, my fraternity brothers, the cops, marginalized groups, nor others have the answers to solve social problems to an entirety within this age. Honestly, we may never be able to solve the problem. But, we are able to work with others within our DePauw community to model what it means to stand with one another in unity in times of grace and to stand for one another in unity in times of distress How we behave, treat each other, and think can inspire the elements within our contemporary society that will build a brighter tomorrow. As arduous as the task is at hand, the battle is necessary. The battle must start. It starts now.

Still pining for Pence? Kiara Goodwine I am replying to “Presumptuous about Pence” not only because I feel that the author misconstrued my intentions, but also because I found some of the implications made in the reply to be problematic in their own way. First of all, I would like to address the issue of quoting. In “Presumptuous about Pence” it states that I implied that Pence was “’racis[t]’.” Notice the letter ‘T’ in brackets. The reason that the T is in brackets is because it is a misquotation of my article. I stated that Pence’s actions were “fueled in part by racism,” not that he is a racist. And yes, the difference matters. To call someone a racist is to attack their character and essence as a person.
To say that someone’s actions are the product of racism is to attack their actions and show that their actions are the product of an ideology that operates upon them and the institutions they are a part of. It is not a blatant attack on their character, thus it is not “unfair.” The endnote speaker at the Day of Dialogue, Keith Edwards, excellently described the difference between these two things. I sincerely hope that the author of “Presumptuous about Pence” attended this talk as well as the Day of Dialogue in general. Secondly, I am alarmed by both the fact that the author feels that a few tweets are an acceptable reply to a public health and environmental crisis such as the one in East Chicago. Mike Pence, before any other title, including potential vice president, is the Governor of Indiana. He is a public servant; his job is to serve his constituents, those being the residents of Indiana. I doubt many would agree that tweeting sympathetically is an active

form of serving the public. This response is particularly disappointing considering the gravity of the situation in East Chicago. If you didn’t read my original article, some citizens in East Chicago were poisoned by lead for several decades and are now technically homeless due to an incredible failure of both state and federal government. Lastly, I would like to address the following statement in reference to East Chicago: “That doesn’t sound like a great place for a vice president nominee to be hanging out.” If East Chicago really does have a crime problem, then Mike Pence should be there exactly for that reason. I will reiterate: Mike Pence is a public servant. His job is to serve the people of Indiana, even if this means going into an area that is labeled as dangerous by a website that is under investigation by the National Fair Housing Alliance. Regardless of the crime rate, if Mike Pence isn’t willing to visit a city in his own state, perhaps he doesn’t deserve to be Governor. But, I would guess such naysayers would still find any reason to support him.

MATT HUNT Senior quarterback Matt Hunt, sat down with The DePauw to discuss the rest of the season, his collegiate career, pregame rituals, and the growing success of a football program. Hunt, a four-year starter, has led the Tigers to an exceptional start this season with over 1000 total yards and 11 touchdowns. TDP: You were named NCAC offensive player of the week the past two weeks with nearly 400 yards in both games. What has been working for the offense? Hunt: We’ve really just been taking what they’ve been giving us. Biggest thing this year has been the options we have on offense. We’re not limited if we need to throw the ball 50 times a game, but if we need to put it on the ground we can do that to. TDP: You’ve been a starter for four years. What was it like to see the progression of the team? Hunt: We’ve gotten so much better. I know what we need to do to win. We used to turn the ball over way too many times. We’ve simply gotten more consistent and we have gotten better at controlling our mental lapses. It’s all about being in tune. TDP: You have also been on the team during the entire tenure of Coach Lynch. How has that experience been? Hunt: We’ve grown with him. He’s led us along the way. Even when we come into camp or start playing spring ball we are so far ahead of where we used to be and he’s really just raised the expectation of the program every season since
I’ve played. TDP: Can you talk about the second half of your schedule? Hunt: Well this is definitely the stronger part of our schedule with Wittenberg, Ohio Wesleyan, Denison, and of course Wabash. Those four over the next six weeks is going to be a real test. TDP: Wabash recently fell to Wittenberg who you play this week. Is this week’s game a way to compare yourself against them for the Monon Bell? Hunt: You obviously compare scores a little bit, but at this point I don’t look into it. If anything I try to distance myself from it because anything can happen in a week. It’s hard not to think about, but at the same time we want to put a ring on our finger and be conference champions and it’s best to focus on ourselves than how other teams are doing. TDP: Has your pregame preparation changed at all over your career? Hunt: I listen to the same song everytime we go into the stadium. It’s a Notorious B.I.G. give me the loot remix. A buddy of mine showed it to me in highschool and I’ve been getting hyped to it ever since.

DePauw football beats Kenyon 48-35
Sophomore, Andy Hunt, scored a total of two touchdowns against Kenyon this Saturday. GERALD PINEDA / THE DEPAUW BY FOSTER WHITLOCK Staff writer sports@thedepauw.com
The DePauw University football team beat Kenyon College 4835 at Blackstock Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 1. The Tigers are now 4-0 overall and 3-0 in the North Coast Athletic Conference. The Tigers opened up scoring with a 41-yard field goal from senior kicker Marko Adams. After an interception from sophomore defensive back, Brooks Hepp, DePauw added to their lead with a 37-yard rushing touchdown from senior quarterback Matt Hunt. With under two minutes to go in the first quarter, senior wide receiver Ian Good caught a 27-yard pass from Hunt to put the Tigers up 17-0. Following a DePauw fumble, Kenyon capped off a five play, 47-yard drive with a rushing
touchdown from sophomore running back Nat Henry to make the score 17-7. DePauw scored again with another field goal from Adams with just under six minutes left to play in the second quarter. This was Adams’ 28th career field goal at DePauw, tying him with Tom Downham (198487) for most field goals made in DePauw football history. With two minutes until halftime, the Lords scored another touchdown off of a 35yard reception by receiver Jibri McLean to make the score 2014. However, the Tigers quickly responded with another passing touchdown from Hunt, this time to junior wide receiver Nolan Ayres. The Tigers went 76 yards in under 90 seconds to go into halftime up 27-14. Kenyon started off the second half with a 17-play, 76-yard drive capped off by a 14-yard touchdown pass from quarterback
Thomas Merkle, putting the score at 27-21. With two minutes and 30 seconds to go in the third quarter, sophomore wide receiver Andy Hunt caught a 16-yard pass from his brother. Following an interception from DePauw cornerback senior Cody Baker, the Tigers scored another touchdown, with the Hunt brothers connecting again on a receiving touchdown to extend the DePauw lead, 41-21. The Tigers would score again on their next drive, off of a 46-yard run by Matt Hunt. The Lords scored another touchdown with 11 minutes to play in the fourth quarter, making the score 48-28. Kenyon was unable to launch a comeback, but would score again with 23 seconds left in the game. DePauw would finish the game and defeat Kenyon 48-35. Kenyon had 492 total offense yards compared to DePauw’s
471. While Kenyon’s passing attack amounted to 438 yards to the Tigers’ 237 passing yards, DePauw’s running game was strong, as the Tigers out rushed Kenyon 234-54. Matt Hunt was 18-30 with 237 yards, four touchdowns and one interception, and also ran for a career-high 159 yards and two touchdowns. DePauw’s Andy Hunt had eight receptions for 146 yards and two touchdowns. Kenyon’s Thomas Merkle was 44-66 with 438 yards, four touchdowns, and two interceptions. Brian Hunca of Kenyon had 18 receptions for 207 yards and a touchdown for the Lords. DePauw Head Football Coach, Bill Lynch, was pleased with the performance of his team so far this season. “We played pretty well in each of the four games on both sides of the ball. Stats sometimes don’t tell the whole story,” Lynch
said. “Offensively we’ve scored some points and for the most part have done a good job taking care of the ball.” Lynch stressed that the Tigers are focused on four metrics in order to win: turnover margin, third and fourth down conversion percentage, making big plays, and starting field position. “We’re at the point now where we feel like we can compete with anybody,” Lynch said. “It’s a matter of playing well on Saturday.” The Tigers face a tough challenge this Saturday, as they travel to play at Wittenberg University, who have won five of the last seven conference titles. The game begins at 1 p.m. and a video live-stream will be available on the DePauw Athletics website.

Women’s soccer falls to Kenyon 1-0 BY LIBBY KAISER Staff writer sports@thedepauw.com
The DePauw University women’s soccer team collected their fourth loss of the season in a 1-0 defeat to Kenyon College on Saturday. Kenyon advanced to 4-51 overall, while the Tigers fell to 5-4-1 on the season record. DePauw dominated the majority of the game, but the lone goal of the match was scored by Kenyon only 1:18 minutes into the match. Kenyon senior Maggie Smith struck the ball from 30 yards out, hitting it just out of reach of DePauw senior goalkeeper Riley Riordan. Despite the highintensity play by the Tigers, the team was unable to find the back of the net for the rest of the game. DePauw fired a total of 11
shots throughout the game, with six being on goal. Kenyon hit a total of six shots, four on goal. DePauw took a total of four corner kicks, none were turned into goals. Kenyon only took one corner kick. The Tigers came close to tying up the match with a mere 90 seconds left to play. Junior forward Kat Ruark bridged the ball across the front of the net in hopes that first-year forward Shaili Kumar would finish it, but it was just a little too far in front for her to reach. The Tigers lost possession of the ball for the remaining minute and could not get it back, leaving the match at a 1-0 upset. Despite the loss, DePauw players did not feel defeated. Senior defender Lexy Burton acknowledged the team’s resilience. “Although everyone was upset with the loss, our
team is more cohesive than ever before,” Burton said. “We are ready to bounce back from our loss on Saturday and put in the work in practice this week leading up to our next conference game.” Senior forward, Liz Fraser, expressed her dissatisfaction about the outcome, but still held a positive mindset. “It was extremely disappointing, just from a win-loss standpoint, but I think as a team we took a lot away from it,” Fraser said, “We need to finish more, but tactically, I think we played very well.” Sophomore defender Rachel Galullo has a plan in mind as the team moves forward. “There will be a greater focus on being dedicated from the very beginning of the game to the end, as well as a greater effort to pick up our momentum,” Galullo said, “With those in mind, we will start picking up wins again.”

Men’s soccer defeat #2 Kenyon, 1-0 BY KEENAN KADAM Staff writer sports@thedepauw.com
After a win over Thomas More College earlier in the week, the DePauw University men’s soccer team topped the #2 ranked team in the nation, Kenyon College. The week started with a tough match against visiting Thomas More. The Tigers came into the match with a record of 4-2-2 while their opponents had a record of 5-5. DePauw dominated the match from the beginning, but struggled to find the
back of the net, despite out shooting Thomas More 13-1. It would take 89 minutes and 59 seconds until that changed. The Tigers earned a corner kick with five seconds left to play. After bouncing around the box, the ball fell to senior midfielder EJ Moore who buried it into the side netting with just one second left. After a dispute from Thomas More coaches and players, the referees determined there was still a tenth of a second left to play. Luckily, one touch of the ball from the kick off and the clock ran out. The 1-0 win moved the Tigers to 5-2-2 on the year

and gained a lot of momentum leading to their match on Saturday against the #2 ranked team in the nation, Kenyon College. The Tigers got the first goal of the game off a free kick from Moore in the 33rd minute. He scored his third goal of the season when his free kick looped over the wall and glided past the diving goalkeeper. Moore’s goal gave the Tigers a 1-0 lead going into halftime. DePauw would double their lead in the 72nd minute when senior forward Jay Wheeler put his defender on skates, beating him and sending the ball into the back of the net. It was Wheeler’s first goal of the season. The Tigers held the 2-0 lead for about six minutes when Kenyon scored a scrappy goal inside the box. DePauw would spend the rest of the match defending waves of Kenyon attacks. Senior goalkeeper Harrison Glover played a vital role in the Tigers victory recording eight saves on the day. DePauw made the most of their offensive opportunities being outshot 17-9 by the Lords. Kenyon committed 20 fouls to DePauw’s 10, despite the Tigers receiving five yellow cards including one given to a player on the bench.

The win was the Tigers’ second upset over a topranked Kenyon team in as many years. DePauw beat Kenyon 1-0 in overtime last year. “100% the atmosphere helped,” said Coach Hauter of the packed stands at Reavis Stadium. “The energy and emotion from the stands lifted us all. You could feel it.” “One loss against Oberlin won’t break our season and one win against a top ranked team like Kenyon won’t make
our season,” said Wheeler. “If anything our first two conference games let us know that we can compete and win against any team in the country while still keeping in mind that if we aren’t entirely locked in for the full 90 minutes, anyone in the country can beat us.” The Tigers move to 6-22 on the season and 1-1 in NCAC play. They will once again travel to Ohio to face Hiram College on Saturday.
