Programs of Distinction facing an uncertain future By Dana Ferguson news@thedepauw.com Stacks of folders bearing the names of prospective Management Fellows covered a table in the McDermond Center at which Gary Lemon sat early Thursday afternoon. Lemon selected applicants to interview for the program knowing he would not be the one overseeing them in the fall. Three days after the announcement that Lemon, the director of the Management Fellows and Robert C. McDermond Center, would not return to his position for the 2014-2015 academic year. The futures of the program and of other fellowship programs remain unclear. While Lemon is quoted in an article printed in The DePauw on Tuesday, Feb. 4 saying Vice President for Academic Affairs Larry Stimpert fired him, both Stimpert and University President Brian Casey said that was not the case. In a phone interview Thursday morning

Programs of Distinction

Casey said Lemon did not agree with proposed changes to the McDermond Center. As a result, Stimpert and Lemon decided he would leave the position of director, but would remain at DePauw after a one-year sabbatical as a tenured professor of economics and management. “I think that they reached a mutual decision,” Casey said after expressing disappointment over Lemon’s comments in the newspaper. “We decided this is the direction we’re going and that was something Gary was not going to be interested in leading.” Lemon contended this was not the case. He said after a series of disagreements with Stimpert over the future of the McDermond Center and the Management

Fellows program, Stimpert informed Lemon in the fall semester that he would not be asked to return as the center and program’s director for the 2014-2015 academic year. Noticeably more depressed Thursday than he was immediately after the announcement broke on Monday, Lemon said he did not understand the reasoning behind his not being re-contracted. “I wasn’t in the inner circle and that was more than okay with me because I was free to do my own thing, you know?” Lemon said. “I didn’t have to really answer to them. I got the best students I could, I got the best internships I could, I got students employment, and they didn’t know it. And that was okay

with me. That was self-satisfaction. It’s not my goal to be in the inner circle.” An e-mail sent to faculty, staff and trustees from Stimpert said Lemon would leave his position at the semester’s end in May but did not mention why. Stimpert in a phone interview on thursday night said, “I do not think it is appropriate to discuss matters of personnel publicly.” With Lemon’s departure from the position, three of DePauw’s centers remain without directors for the coming year. Dave Bohmer, director of the Media Fellows program and the Pulliam Center for Contemporary Media will retire in May, as will Bob Steele, director of the Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics. Both said their retirements were planned. A committee of faculty members announced the beginning of the search for a new head of the Prindle

Honors Scholars and Fellows Programs

Institute Monday, saying it would extend beyond the university. Casey said the search for a new director of the Media Fellow Program and Pulliam Center would begin internally. As for the Management Fellows program and the McDermond Center, the search will begin internally. Stimpert said, "We’ll do some kind of search to find a great replacement. We’ll go all out.” “I don’t see them as three related things,” Casey said about the open positions and searches. “They are three very different narratives.” Lemon said there might be a chance for administrators to make substantial changes to the centers and programs with himself, Bohmer and Steele out of the picture. “It’s a way to wipe the slate clean and they’ve got a clean sheet of paper

THE DEPAUW REPORTS news@thedepauw.com

After a weekend that has historically been problematic for public safety officers, Director of Public Safety Angela Nally said she was thankful to Interfraternity Council (IFC) and Panhellenic Council executives for educating greek chapters about appropriate behavior. Saturday night was bid night for greek fraternities. The Public Safety activity log revealed one alcohol violation and two welfare checks. On Monday night, termed “Black Monday” by some students, there was one hospital transport and one alcohol violation. Last year there were two alcohol violations and a welfare check on the same day.

“I think there was only one student referred to community standards for an alcohol violation,” Nally said. “We did have two fraternities call for a welfare check for other students, so we are very grateful that they utilized medical services and their fraternity, their organization, would be covered under the university’s Safe Community Clause.” Nally said additional officers were on duty Saturday as well as Monday night, but they had limited interaction with students. “I think the executive boards of IFC and [Panhellenic] were trying to do some education slash preventive proactive measures to try to keep activities at a reasonable level, and we appreciate that,” Nally said. “What our outside observation of events would lend us to believe that they were successful in that.”

monstrably confusing to students.” Directors composed and sent frustrated emails saying they were upset to not have been involved in the decision. Additionally, faculty members contended that the new name glorified the Honors Scholars program while the other programs seemed less important. Culler said stationary addressed to students notifying them of their potential acceptance to the Programs of Distinction must be marked as belonging to the Honor Scholar and Fellows Programs. In an e-mail to program directors, Wells said the title may be up for discussion in the future. DePauw’s website currently reads “Honors and Fellows Programs.” Prospective students will soon read from letterhead bearing a new name, “Honor Scholar and Fellows Programs.” They will be evaluated and interviewed by Bohmer and by Lemon. But who will direct them in the fall remains unseen, as does what their experiences will look like.

now,” said Lemon. “And they can rearrange these things as they so choose. And whoever comes in here is going to have to say yes to whatever they say; otherwise they shouldn’t take the job. So whatever changes they have up their sleeves, the person who takes my job and Bohmer’s job and Steele’s job will have to buy in to their vision. And then all of that becomes easy for them.” Stimpert said the administrators involved were not attemtping to destroy the Programs of Distinction in any way. “I want to clarify, too, that while some are saying that we are trying to remove or disesemble these programs, that could not be farther from the truth.” Another concern for Lemon and Bohmer as the programs come under new leadership is whether the internships, which have been exclusively for fellowship students in the past, will fall under the jurisdiction of the Hubbard Center. In an interview Thursday, Raj Bellani, dean of experiential learning, prepared to meet with the board of trustees at their annual meeting in Florida and explained some of his goals for the Hubbard Center in the coming year. Among these, he said he hoped to see internships made accessible to all DePauw students, whether in honor and fellows programs or not. “Our goal is the same, we want every opportunity at DePauw to be just for DePauw students and it doesn’t matter where that student comes from at the university,” Bellani said. “Whether they’re Honors Scholars, whether they’re in a different major, it doesn’t matter, we want them all to take up this experience.” Lemon said he had discussions with Bellani in the fall, but hoped Management Fellows internships would not be accessible to all students. He said Management Fellows undergo special training for the internships and that he finds and oversees the internships himself. Should the internships be open to all DePauw students, Lemon said, the potential for students to not perform well or to not receive proper oversight would increase. While Bellani said he talks with program directors “constantly” about streamlining internships, Bohmer said he has not been reached out to about Media Fellows internships. As he sorted through Media Fellows applications

scoring essays Thursday afternoon, Bohmer said the loss of exclusivity in the internships would seriously damage the program. “To bureaucratize these programs would be a serious mistake,” Bohmer said. Both Bohmer and Lemon brought up the “hoops” required by the student engagement center in applying for an internship. They also said losing the exclusive internships would be a crushing blow for the Programs of Distinction. “If you’re not going to distinguish, if you’re going to give everyone equal access to these internships then do away with the programs,” Bohmer said. “Because if the programs don’t have a significant benefit associated with them, then what’s the point?” Casey said there would be benefits to the directors working with the Hubbard Center to share internships and support students in applying. “I would really encourage them to start working with the Hubbard Center,” Casey said. “Maybe not under it. But I think the relationships with faculty members should remain.” Another issue in the programs emerged just after Winter Term ended when Marilyn Culler, assistant director of the Media Fellows Program, pointed out to Diane Pierce, who works in admissions, what she saw as an error at a meeting regarding Honors and Fellows weekend in early March. “Right before the meeting broke I said, ‘I think there’s a typo on the agenda, it says Honor Scholar and Fellows Programs.’ And she said, ‘No, that’s the new name of the programs,’” Culler said. “No one in the room knew that that change had happened and so that was the first time we found out about it.” The new title, which Christopher Wells, head of communications and strategic initiatives, sent in an e-mail to the directors of the Programs of Distinction on Feb. 24 was intended to redevelop a phrase that was “de-

Rally for Marriage Equality cancelled due to changes made to HJR3 By JULIE BLOCK news@thedepauw.com

Those planning to attend Rally for Marriage Equality this past Wednesday in the Union Building had to alter their plans. The rally was cancelled due to changes in the HJR3 amendment, causing the vote to likely be postponed until 2016. After being debated in the Indiana legislature for about a decade, House Joint Resolution 3 (HJR3), a proposed amendment to the Indiana Constitution may be coming to fruition. The amendment, should it pass, will constitutionally ban same-sex marriage in the state of Indiana. The House voted 52-43 to remove the controversial second sentence of the amendment, which states that any same-sex union similar to that of marriage (i.e. civil unions, domestic partnerships, etc.) would be banned as well. The Senate will review the altered version during their Monday meeting. If the Senate passes the new version, the legislation will not appear on bal-

lots this November because the legislative process will have to start over. The original committees that authored the bill will have to approve it again, according to retired DePauw employee Kelsey Kauffman. The new version will have to wait until 2016, at the earliest, to go on the ballots because it is a proposed amendment to Indiana’s constitution, which must pass two consecutive legislative sessions in the same form. Kauffman, who taught a Winter Term class on the legislation of HJR3 this past January, explains that without the second sentence, the bill will likely pass in both the House and in the Senate. “If they [the House] pass [HJR3] without the second sentence, then I think that’s the way its going to go through the Senate,” Kauffman said. “In that case it won’t be on the ballot for two more years, if ever. But if they put the second sentence back in and the House approves it, it will go on the ballot this year.” Coordinator of the rally junior Ryan Pranger was in Kauffman’s Winter Term class this year. He began to organize the Rally for Marriage Equality after giving a testimony at a legislative meeting at

the end of January. Pranger felt empowered to create more of a social movement in favor of same-sex marriage after Representative Milo Smith, chair of the elections and apportionment committee, told Pranger during his testimony that he would be proud if Pranger were his son. “[Rep. Smith] actually said that he would be proud of me if I was his kid,” Pranger said. “It was a very humanizing and awesome reaction that I got from him.” The rally itself was aimed at raising awareness about HJR3 and encouraging students to contact their legislative representatives with their opinions on the subject. “The initial thing we were going to do [during the rally] was tell people about HJR3, the actual amendment, like what is it, what is the wording and what it would mean for Indiana residents,” Pranger said. “We wanted to get people more information about it, how they can help, and just also spreading the word.” First-year Amy Brown, who was the social media correspondent for the rally, said that the can-

cellation of the rally made sense because of the changes made to HJR3. “It was a decision that we all made together,” Brown said. “It was just because of the way that the amendment worked out. It’s kind of a positive thing because that means HJR3 is not going to come to vote until 2016, if it passes again.” While Pranger sees the removal of the second sentence as a step forward, he admits that he wishes the rally happened in order to get DePauw students more involved in the issue. “I was a little frustrated by it,” Pranger said. “I kind of wanted to make it a whole campaign. I had a huge vision in my head of registering people at DePauw to vote and getting them knowledgeable about it. I think this could have been a very cool movement to see at DePauw’s campus.” The Senate is going to vote on the changed amendment this Monday, February 10, after their regular 1:30 p.m. meeting. Whether the Senate passes the bill as is or chooses to put the second sentence back in will determine if HJR3 will appear on the ballot this November.

Despite the cold, WGRE brings out hot new music BRIAN AUSTIN irst of all, welcome back Tigers. Since Freleased we last spoke, thousands of songs were in hundreds of countries across

hundreds of genres. Although it is impossible to listen to everything, at WGRE we try to give as many bands as we can an honest listen to find the best new music for 91.5, Your Sound Alternative. Throughout January, there were freezing temperatures in the Midwest and New England, but the station was blazing with hot new music from all around the world. It took a while, but WGRE Music Director Lauren Wigton and I prevailed, finding several new albums just right for WGRE. JD Wilkes and The Dirt Daubers, Wild Moccasins and Thumpers stood out, but Canadian singer Michael Milosh caught our ears in familiar ecstasy. Milosh released his fourth studio album, “Jetlag,” in November 2013 and the record made its way to WGRE during Winter Term. After a few seconds of playing name recognition, I realized how I knew his name: Los Angeles based R&B duo, Rhye. Rhye released their debut album, “Woman,” last April. Each song on Woman represents a celebration of love created by musical masterminds Milosh and Robin Hannibal. Its dreamlike melodies and funk-fusion bass lines make Rhye unique. After getting a taste of Milosh going solo, it is clear how he influenced the beauty that makes Rhye so wonderful. Just like Rhye’s “Woman,” Milosh’s “Jetlag” sounded beautiful. His angelic vocals and melodies flutter over strong instrumentation, pushed by jazz, funk and Afro percussion. Milosh’s soothing voice makes each song a new dream where time traveling to the 70s for some disco style isn’t out of the question. The album starts with “Do You Want What I Need,” where Milosh begs for a

sign from his partner, attempting to find the true meaning of his relationship. Right away, we hear a different Milosh; the first track sounds much more like Baths than Rhye. As Milosh fades out, “Hear in You” begins with 80s synth as Rhye’s style bleeds through. Experimental drums throughout the album, especially in the first few songs, make this album a treat for all the beat-lovers out there. In Rhye fashion, “Jetlag” speaks on love, but not with the same fiery passion as in “Woman.” Jetlag tells of pain and heartache and may be autobiographical since Milosh is no longer in the love he had last spring. We all hope that Milosh recovers from his apparent heartbreak, but we can’t help but love the music it brings to life. Nick Hornby writes in “High Fidelity,” “What came first? The music or the misery?” Keep listening to WGRE for brand new songs every week. New music comes out every day; we’ll help you find it.

Vintage on Franklin gives antiques new life By NICOLE DECRISCIO features@thedepauw.com

Nestled between the senior center and Sharon Hammond’s law office lies a small vintage and antique shop: Vintage on Franklin. Its address is 5 W. Franklin St. From first edition comics, vinyl records, maps from the 1830s and even a replica of a civil war era sword fill the rooms. Bill Sullivan’s shop has it all. “I’m out of control,” Sullivan said of purchasing new items for the shop. Sullivan and his wife, Lynn, opened the shop about a year and a half ago. “I kind of set it up for kids at DePauw,” Sullivan said. “They come in here every once in a while and they say, ‘I didn’t know this was here.’” Originally from Minnesota, Bill Sullivan has been perusing antiques and vintage items for about 34 years. “Our parents both collected antiques and sometimes we just fell in love with the stuff,” Sullivan said. “It’s not a get rich quick sort of scheme. It’s more of a passion.” Each antique in Vintage on Franklin has a unique story. “I probably bought this 20 years ago,” Sullivan said pointing to a black western style shirt. Then, Sullivan displayed a maroon sweater from Montgomery Ward’s, a mail order and department store retailer that opened in 1872 and closed in 2000.

“This is a sweater here that’s never been worn,” Sullivan said. “It’s probably from the 60s.” Next, Sullivan pointed to a white fur coat hanging next to the sweater. “This went on sale January 1, 1930, so it must have been right after the stock market crash,” Sullivan said. “It was for sale for $37.50. It never sold, so I suppose everybody lost their money and nobody could afford to buy it.” Sullivan recalled a time that someone came into the shop and asked him how he felt about recycling. “This is recycling,” Sullivan said. “Taking something that was made 50 years ago and selling it to somebody. It takes energy to make something new, and it doesn’t take any energy to resell something that’s used.” Vintage on Franklin holds items that Sullivan believes parents of college students would enjoy. “You got to have something for the parents too,” Sullivan said. “[We have] a little bit of everything.” Sullivan urges students to make the trip to his shop to see what they can find. “You can’t spend your whole life in the library,” he said. “You’ve got to have some fun. We’ve got a lot of interesting things here [for students].” However, he believes that the reason more students do not come to the shop is simply because they do not know about it. “We’re not on Facebook,” Sullivan said. “I don’t do Craigslist. When students do come in, I ask them to put it on Facebook.”

Bill Sullivan, owner of the recently opened store “Vintage on Franklin”, is pictured holding a few items for sale. HOANG NGUYEN / THE DEPAUW

He believes that word of mouth is the best type of advertisement. Sophomore Hanae Weber found the shop after walking around the square with some of her friends. “We went [in] because we were wandering around the square, saw it and had never been inside before, so we decided to go,” Weber said. “It’s a cute shop and there are lots of cool things in it.” In between customers at the shop, Sullivan reads books about antiques. “It’s kind of like a treasure hunt,” Sullivan said. “One of the best things I ever found was a Babe Ruth clock, and I still have that.” A few of the store’s treasures caught sophomore Sarah Jylkka’s eye. “There’s a box of comics up in the front, like old Marvel comics that I thought was really cool,” Jylkka said. She thinks that students will enjoy the vintage shop because of the one of a kind quality antiques entail. “There are a lot of themed parties around DePauw,” Jylkka said. “It’s definitely a good place to go to pick up items for the next [one].” Vintage on Franklin, which is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., accepts only cash or check. “It’s definitely a hidden little shop that people don’t know about,” Jylkka said.

Some of the items for sale include vintage comic books. HOANG NGUYEN / THE DEPAUW

The Sochi Olympics: not unique for their controversy With the first official day of the 2014 Winter Olympics behind us and 15 more days of games ahead before the Closing Ceremonies on February 23, there—most unfortunately—remains plenty of time for things to go wrong in Sochi. Threats posed by the region’s Islamic militants, the “Black Widow” terrorists and the possibility of toothpaste tubes packed with explosives have dogged the days leading up to this year’s competition, causing many to question the safety of Olympic athletes during these games. In an effort to assure that these threats are not realized, the safety precautions taken for this year’s games have been extreme. US military officials have two warships at the ready in case it becomes necessary to quickly evacuate the over 200 American athletes in attendance. Liquids and gels, of any amount, have been banned from all Russia-bound US flights. And this is to say nothing of the supposedly impenetrable “ring of steel” that has been placed around the games courtesy of Vladmir Putin himself. Luckily, it seems that yesterday’s first three events went off without a hitch. While security cannot be overdone in a situation as full of tension as the Sochi games seem to be, we cannot be allowed to feel that these are the only games in recent history to be fraught with security threats and political tension. The 2002 Salt Lake City Games took place amidst heightened security due to the fact that the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks had taken place just months before. A mere six years before that, a terrorist attack had actually occurred during the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. Of course, the 1936 Summer Olympics are not to be forgotten. These games were held in Berlin under the growing shadow of Hitler’s power and took place just three years before the start of World War II. The Olympics and world politics are, for better or for worse, tied tightly together. There may never be Games held where no protests take place, no threats are made and what everyone agrees to be a reasonable amount of money is spent. That doesn’t mean that we should not strive for the ideal Olympics, but rather that we should step back and ask ourselves whether the tension surrounding these games are the cause of the world’s political problems or merely the result of them. This Editorial Board tends to think it is the latter. To put it simply, the Olympics will not be made entirely safe until the world is made entirely safe. Unfortunately, this may be never. Until this time arrives, whether or not it ever does, the Olympics continue provide us with a chance to celebrate the cultures of our world’s nations. More than that, they give us insight to where we are as a global community. On that note—USA, USA, USA!

Olympics may not provide revamped image Russian officials hope for RHYS WEBER

or weeks, the news has been full of predictions that the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia could be the target of a terrorist attack, or at least an attempted attack, by extremists from the Caucasus region, a successor of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria. Fears over an attack, however, have been overshadowed in recent days by other problems that are unrelated to fears about security. Among these problems are construction issues, allegations of corruption and kickbacks, inadequate facilities and the autocratic government’s horrific treatment of the LGBTQ community. With the Russian government

spending an estimated $50 billion on the games, these problems couldn’t have come at a worse time for the Vladimir Putin regime. It seems that whatever the government does, something comes along to make the situation worse. Most recently, the homophobia actively on display in Russia hurt the situation. When participating in an interview with the BBC, the mayor of Sochi, Anatoly Pakhomov, publicly declared his city 100 percent straight. When these are the kinds of things being said to international news organizations, the problems are as clear as day. DePauw’s student body is no stranger to controversies involving gay rights (the situation involving a glittering deer comes to mind). However, minor controversies such as a sparkling deer pale in comparison to the nationwide disaster created by a number of Russian policies. Despite

all the talk of terrorist attacks, the real catastrophe at Sochi may come from a completely unexpected direction. These problems add to the damage done to the Russian government’s international reputation by events such as the Syria situation and arrests of Pussy Riot, a feminist punk rock group, giving the Olympics, an event usually used to heal country’s political and diplomatic wounds, may in fact inflame Russia’s wounds to new and unknown degrees. Whatever happens, the Sochi Olympics will likely not be the image reset that the oligarchs in Moscow want. -Weber is a sophomore majoring in history from Fort Wayne, Ind. opinion@thedepauw.com

iving in Indiana comes with definite positives and negatives. ‘The Greatest Spectacle in Racing’, also known as the Indianapolis 500, comes to mind as one of the obvious positives. Some would call our recent string of cold, wintery weather one of the negatives to an Indiana life style. I strongly disagree. I, for one, love the cold weather and more importantly, life just doesn’t feel the same without seasons. While my focus is generally on politics, not my love of winter coats and ugly sweaters, which is totally a thing, bare with me while I hop on my soap-box and delve into my love of the winter wonderland Indiana has become. Growing up in Indiana, you learn to never take weather for granted. One day it will be sunny and 75 degrees, the next day there will be a winter-

storm advisory. Indiana weather always knows how to keep you on your toes. Indiana winters are not always perfect, but they are not worth all the fuss that some make about them. Just sit back, relax, and cross your fingers for a snow day. Snow provides the perfect medium for the most pure fun you can have while it’s nasty outside. I might sound a little childish, but is there anything more fun than playing in the snow? Of course not, the best part of having snow-days as a child, which was almost impossible considering I went to Zionsville, was the massive, neighborhood wide snowball fights we would have. While that may not be the best approach in college considering the probability of alcohol being present on a day when school is cancelled, DePauw students need to live a little and remember what they loved about their childhood winters. After the first big snow storm of the first semester, some of my fraternity brothers and I went out and played a little tackle football on East College lawn. It was one of the most fun afternoons I can remember at DePauw. As a senior, I am realizing that next year I will not be able to drop everything and play snow football with some of my best friends. Cherish the

snow, the freedom of college and the amount of fun that combination can create. The next reason to savor the snow is that there is nothing more beautiful than looking out your window at a fresh sheet of snow on the ground. Whether I am at the base of Aspen Mountain in Aspen, Colo. or standing among the ever-extending ‘flatness’ of Greencastle, Ind. snow makes just about any scene more beautiful. The final obvious reason why snow is a blessing is that if it is going to be as bitterly cold as it has been for the past month or so in Indiana, there might as well be snow on the ground. If there is no snow, the miserably cold air is not worth it. Everyone needs to stop complaining about the snow and enjoy it. Very rarely in life will we ever be as free as we are as college students. Snow lets us return to the innocence of snow-forts and snowball fights. Stop thinking you are too cool to play in the snow. -Small is a senior history and political science double major from Zionsville, Ind. opinion@thedepauw.com

University should change registered events criteria, making it all-encompassing STEPHEN MCMURTRY

Speaking to a mentor friend of mine, I learned that he is—or rather, was, as freshmen have just begun to cloister themselves off from those not in their pledge classes—frequently contacted by freshmen with the question, “Do you know what frats are registered this weekend?” Word usually gets around: Sports Night this weekend, Halloween tonight, Christmas tomorrow, etc. “Registered” is itself a very vague term. We know a few things about these registered parties. First, they tend to be larger than non-registered parties. Second, hard alcohol is not allowed, and these events must be on weekends. Lastly, fraternities now have to hire external security, and a per-semester limit exists on these parties. Many fraternity social events—my high-brow way to say “party”—meet all of those criteria but are not registered. Why have the system if its rules are applied in a seemingly arbitrary manner? My inner iconoclast begs me to paint a vision of a safe and registration-free party culture, but we all know that would be disingenuous. What registration attempts to provide is accountability and

safety, both noble goals. The strict rules around registration, however, ensure that these well-managed parties remain rare. The university should revamp its registration process to cover any and all social events hosted by a fraternity (or sorority), regardless of their size, choice of alcohol and time. I imagine a system in which fraternities submit party registrations a week in advance with some key information: time (weekdays now welcome), accessibility (open to all or by invite only), level of drinking (dry, beer, hard alcohol, grain alcohol from a bathtub), expected turnout, and the presence of outside security. This list should be available to Public Safety, fraternity presidents, and administration for accountability purposes. All registered events must feature robust risk management, with parties that have a certain expected attendance requiring external security. Public Safety and Interfraternity Council should then strengthen the system by both verifying that all social events feature risk management and cracking down on unregistered—and thus unsafe—parties. The benefits to a more encompassing party registration system are twofold: increased accountability and better risk management. The current system hamstrings safety and accountability by placing an outsize emphasis on fraternities’ three registered parties and pretending that every other social event does not exist.

By creating a comprehensive list of all social events, the new registration system would allow both fraternities and the administration to judge the extent and effects of social gatherings. Furthermore, by requiring disclosure from fraternities, the university ensures that all fraternity events, whether it be a Monon pregame held by a whole house or a Tequila Tuesday held by a single room, include risk management in their social plan. Initial adoption will be slow, but with both increased transparency and scrutiny, fraternities should be able hold safer social events without fear of being punished for unregistered and informal events. The approval of countless informal and weekday social events might seem a bitter pill for the university to swallow, giving off the impression that they approve of frequent partying, but acceptance will in this case provide more benefit than harm. Codifying and regulating what is, for the most part, illegal underage drinking, will only give the university more power to act in the interests of students should an emergency arise. Of course, I am also dying to know if anyone else has stolen my entirely original (and entirely clever) name of “Wine Wednesday.” -McMurtry is a sophomore conflict studies and Latin double major from Fort Wright, Ky. opinion@thedepauw.com

Hooker, Line and Sinker: junior record propells team forward By JACOB LYNN sports@thedepauw.com

Junior swimmer Casey Hooker helped the DePauw University men’s swim team fly their way to success this season with an overall record of 6-2. Hooker specializes in the 200-yard butterfly, the 100-yard butterfly and the 500-yard freestyle and will lead the Tigers into the NCAC Championship held at Denison University from February 12 through 15. The Tigers will compete against top ranked schools like Kenyon College and Denison University with hopes of qualifying for the NCAA championships. We caught up with Hooker to chat about the upcoming postseason. Here’s what he had to say: The DePauw (TDP): For people who haven’t kept up with the team’s season so far, just briefly tell us how the year has gone. Casey Hooker (CH): As a team, even though we’ve lost two meets this year, the first time we’ve lost in three years to my knowledge, we’ve still done a lot better. Our schedule has gotten a lot tougher, but we’re getting a lot faster times in season, and our midseason times are faster than they’ve ever been. We’re looking to have a very good conference meet and hopefully a good national meet. Individually, I’ve hit pretty good times in season and I’m really excited to taper conference and nationals. TDP: What do you do personally to prepare for a meet? Do you have any quirks or special rituals that you have to do before you swim? CH: Just stretch out, listen to music, get loose and watch other guys swim. Just seeing other guys get fast times gets me psyched up for my races. TDP: What were some of the team goals you guys laid out at the beginning of the year? CH: Our two biggest goals were to score 1,000 points at the conference meet and to be a top ten team at nationals. We’d also like to see guys score top nine individually at conference. Being in the hardest conference will definitely make that a challenge, but it’s also exciting knowing we

have so many fast races to look forward to, and then hopefully qualifying more than nine guys at the national meet. The last two years we’ve only had nine guys go, so it would be very cool if we could have maybe ten or twelve guys go. Just having a bigger presence at the NCAA meet is huge. TDP: What personal goals did you have for yourself? CH: There are three or four other guys that are within a half second in the 100-fly and 200-fly. Hopefully I can beat them, but just being able to compete with them is my goal for conference and then for nationals hopefully being top eight in my individual events. TDP: How does competing against tough Division I opponents such as Xavier University help you when facing other Division III schools? CH: Swimming teams like Xavier helps us just because they’re closer to the level that Kenyon and Denison are at. I mean, they’re not as good as Kenyon and Denison, but just swimming faster teams in season just helps us get in that mindset. You know, we’ve always got to go as fast as we can, and we can’t ease off for an easy meet, just keep the in season goal in focus. TDP: A lot of times, a long break between meets can hurt a team’s ability to perform. As a team, are you worried about having any rust from the long layoff since your last meet? CH: I don’t think so. Even though we lost to University of Chicago, we had some pretty good times at it, and I think we’ve started easing off the length of the practices. I think we’re getting fired up because we think we can make a good presence and make a statement at the conference tournament next week. TDP: What are you and the team doing to prepare for conference? CH: Besides dropping yards, we’re just trying to get more rest. I think that’s the biggest thing, just getting rest and getting hydrated are the two biggest things that you can do to get your body prepared. TDP: Who do you see as your biggest competition in the NCAC Championships? CH: Well Kenyon and Denison are both pretty even. It’s going to be a dogfight for both of them to win, but I

personally think Kenyon will win. TDP: You guys finished the season strong winning three of your last four meets. Do you feel that that momentum will carry over to the conference meet? CH: I think so, yes. There are a lot of guys, like Chris Ercoli, for example, who have had great times in the last few meets. I think that [Ercoli] will have a great conference meet. He’ll be right on the cusp of qualifying for nationals and there are a lot of other guys like that, too, [who] will have some exciting time drops next week. TDP: How confident is the team following a 4-0 record against NCAC opponents in the regular season? CH: I think that it’s nice to beat the other teams in the conference, but we want to race the top-end guys from Kenyon and Denison. Knowing that we can make a presence in the conference is huge for us. TDP: What sort of expectations does the team have for the NCAC meet? What would you guys consider a success? CH: I think having all five relays qualify for the national meet, and then having multiple individual times that will get invited.
