Cameras on campus, security or invasion of students’ privacy By NICOLE DECRISCIO news@thedepauw.com
Seven Tibetan Buddhist monks construct a sand mandala for peace in the Union Building lobby Wednesday afternoon. Sand mandalas are a form of worship for the monks, who travel the world construction mandalas to raise money for their refugee monastery in India. Many monks fled Tibet in the face of conflict with China. On Saturday, the sands from the mandala will be poured into the waterfall outside Prindle Institute for Ethics, an act believed to spread the peace generated from the mandala to the lands the water touches.

In a post-9/11 world, Americans are generally willing to give up some personal privacy in exchange for security. While the line between security and privacy has been blurred on a national level with the National Security Agency, Director of Public Safety Angie Nally believes that the use of cameras on DePauw’s campus is appropriate, but she understands that it is a sensitive subject. “When you talk about security cameras it is so fragile,” Nally said. There are approximately 60 cameras throughout campus. Some of the locations include parking lots, the third floor of East College and the basements of various academic buildings. “Those are areas that have a history of either damage and vandalism or theft,” senior Kaleb Gregory said. “It makes perfect sense.” The cameras on the third floor of East College, which were installed last year between August and October, are meant to prevent students from going up to the bell tower. “It’s dangerous, and there was a lot of interest generated around gaining access to that at one point in time,” Nally said. “The cameras point directly at the doors. They’re not looking into the hallways or into anyone’s offices.” Nally noted that there are more cameras in buildings that have been built more recently. “With new construction, we’ve installed cameras in newly constructed buildings,” Nally said. “We’re looking forward to expanding [security cameras] through the athletic complex.” First-year Natasha Hockaden believes that whether or not students should be worried about it depends on the location of the cameras. “I kind of feel like it could be an invasion of privacy, depending on where they’re at,” Hockaden said. According to Nally, the cameras elsewhere are to protect students who are studying late at night. For instance,

In essence, DeLaTorre’s answer summed up the exercise. In a situation in which the majority becomes the minority, norms are completely reversed.

-tect students who are studying late at night. For instance, there are cameras in the basement of the Green Center of the Performing Arts. Nally said that students do not always have cell service near the practice rooms and that the area can be isolated from where others may be. Nally added that the cameras are not monitored at all times. “We have the ability to monitor them, but we don’t have the resources, staff or desire to monitor them all,” Nally said. However, Public Safety does review the footage when an incident is reported. “If anything does happen on campus, the first question someone asks me is, ‘Is there a camera that covers that area?’” Nally said. “There really is an expectation, in the world, of the ability to go back and recreate the incident.” Public Safety also uses cameras in their patrol cars and when they are interviewing potential suspects in criminal cases. They have a set of standards that they have to follow when deciding if it is ethical to use the video as well as determining how they store the video. Nally said they also have a system to review if there is any misuse of the video. However, there have been previous questions to the ethics of the way Public Safety has used video in the past. In Feb. 2010, The DePauw reported that Public Safety had recorded bid night activities that occurred in the front yards of fraternities from the in-car cameras. This prompted a letter to the editor from Nally, who wrote, “I would like to offer an apology for the use of a video camera by Public Safety officers during some of the events of that evening.” After the event, Public Safety reviewed its policies for the use of in-car videos. “The installation and choice of where these cameras are are under the purview of Public Safety,” Nally said. “It’s pretty complex, and it’s been well thought out and approved from my vice president.” Nally said that the line between security and privacy at DePauw is drawn at “a place where a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy.” As a result, there are no cameras in residence halls or areas that look into offices or bathrooms. “You don’t have a right to not be recorded on our entire campus,” Gregory said. “Granted that doesn’t mean that you can stand at your window naked and expect no repercussions. There’s a certain degree of courtesy and common sense.” Gregory mentioned that there are other places that people are recorded but never question it. “People might complain about cameras being set up on DePauw’s campus, but you can’t go into a Wal-Mart without getting on camera,” Gregory said. “That doesn’t mean that we don’t shop at Wal-Mart. It means that you don’t do stupid stuff when you’re there.”

In 2007, former professor David Field started funding the Mary R. Field Distinguished University/Visiting Professor of Writing in honor of his late wife Mary Field. Since 2010, DePauw’s creative writing department has brought on prominent writers to teach in temporary positions at the university. This position includes a “generous stipend” and also allows the Mary Field professor addi-
tional funds towards “cover[ing] some of the expenses of moving to and living in Greencastle,” according to an email from professor of English Joe Heithaus This year, Jones, a poet, has been selected for the position. Heithaus studied under Jones at Southern Illinois University Carbondale and had only good things to say about him. “We not only want to bring in a great writer, we want to bring in a great teacher,” Heithaus said. “My joy in bringing him here is that his poems speak to people on a level of experience and a depth that exemplifies the power of poetry. We’re lucky to have him.” English Department Chair Harry Brown also said Jones fit the criteria for the visiting professor position. “A Mary Field professor is meant to generate new ideas and energy that goes throughout the creative writing department,” Brown said. “He’s not just a big name, not just somebody we recognize as a great writer, but someone who’s willing to give himself over in experience of teaching in creative writing. Rodney has been great about it.” Jones is the fourth Mary Field professor and the second poet to have the position since Crystal Williams came in spring 2010. He was also preceded by nonfiction author Ian Frazier and creative writer Antonya Nelson. His role as a visiting professor includes teaching a creative writing class, giving a reading and a craft talk. “It gives students a chance

to take a class with a wellestablished writer,” Brown said. “[Jones will be] kind of floating throughout creative writing program, enhancing different aspects of it.” He is also allowed to select another writer to bring to DePauw, and as a result, fellow poet Marianne Boruch will be joining Jones in Greencastle. They both will participate in a craft talk on Oct. 30 at the public library, which will be followed by a reading of her own in Peeler Auditorium at 7:30. Boruch teaches at Purdue University and has won the Kingsley-Tufts Award for poetry. The next Mary Field professor will likely be a dramatic writer according to Brown. “What we’d like to do is represent different genres of creative writing, give students a broad perspective, discuss as a department whether to hire a well-established writer versus one who is emerging at the beginning of a great career,” he said. So far, all Mary Field professors have fallen into only the first category. Jones has many distinctions, including winning the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Kingsley-Tufts Award. Renowned poet Elizabeth Bishop selected his first poetry book for the Associated Writing Programs Award. He teaches at the Southern Illinois University Carbondale. “I’ve been fortunate in most ways,” Jones said at the reading. “This is a magnificent position and I’ve been able to get completely lost in my work.”

Myers’ Market replaces Blue Door, hopes to combine groceries and dining By PAUL WATTS news@thedepauw.com
The Blue Door Café may have closed its doors for good, but Mitchell Myers has no intention of letting the building occupied by the old eatery sit empty. In the upcoming weeks, a new business will open its doors in downtown Greencastle, a restaurant and deli named Myers’ Market. Myers’ Market will be located in the space that was formerly the Blue Door Café, which closed last April due to financial troubles. Students had a special relationship with Blue Door as a place to study and eat. The café also supported student clubs and organizations, such as the Ultimate Frisbee team, senior David Gordon said. “It meant a lot how Blue Door sponsored us last year, even in the midst of its financial troubles,” Gordon, last year’s team captain, said.
Though students were sad to see the campusfavorite close, they still look forward to a new restaurant in Greencastle, especially so close to the campus. “I’m excited about the new restaurant opening because it will give us more options, and because it isn’t part of a chain,” first-year Brad “Smiley” Burch said. The market will mainly be a soup-and-sandwich deli with a focus on the 14 different kinds of lunchmeat it will carry. “I’m calling it a meal market. You’ll basically get to create your own meal from the products in the store,” said Mitchell Myers, the owner of Myers’ Market. Myers believes in the support of natural, local farming and is making it a staple in his business. The market will carry these types of products, such as Amish noodles or jams and jellies. Myers also intends to grind and mix his own brats in the deli. Myers’ Market will be well within walking
distance for DePauw students, with its location on Washington Street, next to Green Apple Frogurt. The market will feature seating similar to its predecessor the Blue Door, with café-style small tables where students can enjoy their meals. The market will also try delivering for the first month that it is open. If it is successful, delivery may continue. Customizable orders by the pound will be available, which will be ideal for grilling events. “We also supply and deliver fresh meat,” Myers said about the deli’s catering service. “It’s great for tailgates, fraternity cookouts, anything really. If you’ve got the grill, we’ll bring the deli meat.” The menu will be consistently changing, shifting towards more soup options as winter nears. There will also be a specialty item each week, whether it is a specialty sandwich or a new product added to the menu. Myers even has hopes to carry fresh fish sometime in the future. “Each of the first 52 weeks we’re open, we’ll have a new specialty item,” Myers said. “Most of the
time it’ll be something wrapped in bacon, or with bacon stuffed in it.” He has spent the last couple years preparing Myers’ Market, mostly by visiting successful restaurants to see what works and what doesn’t. “I’ve never seen a restaurant quite like Myers’ Market, it’s really a unique place.” Myers said. The market hopes to open within the next two weeks, with the interior of the store already coming together. When the grand opening does happen, Myers’ will be offering samples to DePauw students. Myers is also working to get Myers’ Market on the DPU Plus Program, so students can use their IDs as they do at other restaurants within walking distance. “This is going to be a ever-changing type of business, “ Myers said. “A lot of exciting things are in the pipeline. We’re always looking to make Myers’ Market the best dining experience possible.”

Pizza and Politics talk dissects ‘crises’ in Syria By DANA FERGUSON news@thedepauw.com
A series of complex derivative equations on a white board in room 152 of the Julian Science and Math Center played backdrop to a series of equally complex political conversations Wednesday night. Twenty students along with three political science faculty members sat around tables pushed into a circle to share pizza and discussion at the first Pizza and Politics event of the semester. Tasked with discussing the crises ongoing civil war, use of chemical weapons, breaking off of Islamist groups and the developing humanitarian crisis in Syria as well as the U.S. government’s reaction to the aforementioned issues that Professor of political science Bruce Stinebrickner deemed the “Syrian Crises.” Representatives from various political groups on campus showed up for the discussion including senior Allison Orjala, head of the College Democrats, senior Ryan Heeb president of the Young Republicans and junior Rachel Burriss, president of the Young Americans for Liberty. Banter and political theorizing between the three professors: Stinebrickner, Deepa Prakash and Brett O’Bannon dominated the hour-long event with occasional questions from students and routine visits to the front table for more slices of pizza or glasses of soda. To set the event apart from a panel discussion on the Syrian crises held in the U.B. Ballroom last Friday, the professors attacked the topic from their various specialties. Prakash emphasized the international relations aspect of the crises and perceptions of the American government as it reacted and continues to react. She mentioned that the hesitancy on the government’s behalf in entering into a conflict might hold unforeseen benefits with Iran. Jokingly, Prakash said she wished to play her metaphorical ‘foreigner card’ and offer her opinion that President Barack Obama’s change in decision indicates good judgment in dealing with potentially dangerous entities in Syria. “Too often in American political discourse people are opposed to changing their minds,” Prakash said. “Sometimes you say things you haven’t thought through fully, it’s a good thing to be able to change your mind.” Meanwhile, Stinebrickner theorized that Obama had stepped into a situation replete with the Machiavellian idea of ‘Fortuna’ (known as fortune or luck). He said the president benefitted from the timing of Putin’s announcement that Russia would insert itself in the conflict should the nation see fit and even more so, Stinebrickner said Obama benefitted from the media’s attention being pulled to the GOP rather than to his decision. “So I guess if I’m Barack Obama I go buy a lottery ticket,” Stinebrickner said. O’Bannon highlighted the magnitude of the
humanitarian crisis unfolding in Syria as millions of residents are displaced or pushed into refugee camps. With advanced dialogue between the professors dominating the conversation, Heeb acknowledged that the event may have seemed overwhelming to students. “I think that people are sometimes scared of politics, they see this as intimidating,” Heeb said. “I mean we have three great political science professors up here. And to try to go toe-to-toe with them and to try to challenge them, that’s scary for a lot of people.” He went on to discuss that the vastness of the subject matter may also deter students from learning about the conflict in Syria and engaging in discussion about it. “I think what is intimidating is the volume: how much there is and perhaps the perception
that there is so much news about this, I don’t even know where to begin,” Heeb said. Orjala acknowledged the challenge in garnering interest for events on campus, especially those that require students to think about and discuss their political opinions in a public forum. “People aren’t going to put time into it if they don’t have to,” she said. The best way she knew to entice students into attending events was to provide food as bait. “If it brings students out and they leave with a little more information about political events of today, I am happy to provide pizza,” Orjala said. Senior Clark Edwards admitted that she had been drawn in to the event because she was interested in dinner more so than political discourse. “I’m only here for the free pizza,” Edwards said. “That’s the only reason I go to anything.” Party lines seemed did not seem to cause ten-
sion during the conversation, nor did they prevent six people, including Orjala and Heeb, from engaging in a discussion after the event about the state of the GOP and the flaws in Obamacare. Surrounded by four other students and Stinebrickner, Orjala and Heeb hashed out their thoughts and invited others to comment, question and laugh about how none of them had taken the time to read the 1,000 word plus Obamacare proposal document. Poised with hands on his head as he thought, Stinebrickner interjected occasionally, alternately playing devil’s advocate, asking students to consider life without healthcare. At 8 p.m. room 152 of Julian remained empty, silent after having heard over an hour of fierce discussion. The numbers on the whiteboard remained scrawled out in complex formulas, as did the complex issues before the U.S. government.

Wonder Woman takes the driver’s seat By LUKE BERNARDI news@thedepauw.com
Super heroine Wonder Woman took center stage Monday evening as curious DePauw students overflowed Watson Forum. Director Kristy Guevara-Flanagan aired the film “Wonder Women,” which stresses the importance of Wonder Woman in popular culture as a model for young women. The documentary also demonstrates how superheroines have played a role in the advancement of feminism and shaping of gender roles in the U.S. since the 1940s. “It seems like a great era for superhero films,” said Guevara-Flanagan. “I felt like there was an absence of women superheroes, though, and Wonder Woman seems like the natural go-to to make a blockbuster film starring a woman, and I was just curious why that hadn’t happened.” Guevara-Flanagan believes that people are so used to the implications male superheroes leave on society, so she wanted to see how the public would react to females
taking lead roles. The film features interviews with Wonder Woman scholars, comic book writers and fans, all who view Wonder Woman as a role model and influential icon for females across the country. One of Guevara-Flanagan’s goals in making this film was to use Wonder Woman and female superheroes to portray women as symbols of success. “We are used to seeing women as eye candy and decorative,” Guevara-Flanagan said. “Culturally we know that they are capable of more than that, yet it persists and is still out there. It’s troubling and contradicting.” When choosing from the hundreds of other superheroines and important female figures in pop culture to represent a film like this one, Guevara-Flanagan felt Wonder Woman was simply the best option. “She has the name recognition. If you’re going to be a female superhero for Halloween, it’s going to be Wonder Woman,” Guevara-Flanagan said. “Also, if you look at her literal history in comic books, there have been many changes and evolutions to her in her career, and part of
that is because she has been around for so long. So I thought it was interesting to look at her because as women’s roles in society have evolved, her roles have shifted too.” Guevara-Flanagan uses all of these features to give women the proper recognition and to acknowledge them beyond just the stereotypes society has labeled onto them. “We want all those important woman in history to be remembered and written in the text books that will be read from in colleges years from now,” she said. Catherine Fruhan, professor of art history and documentary films, organized this event as a result of seeing the film at the Cleveland International Film Festival. She believed it was a very well crafted film with a lot of incredibly witty content. “It had an interesting impact on a lot of levels,” Fruhan said. “It’s a really fun film that’s also really smart and informative. Even if you’re not in to comic books and superheroines, which I’m not either one, there is just a lot there that’s important to think about and like.”

Armed with a megaphone, the group began chanting “no means no” and “yes means yes” as they made their way through campus, demanding justice immediately. The group walked down Anderson Street, past residence halls and greek chapter houses, with a voice that grew stronger and more unified with each word. Students passed around the megaphone to lead various chants. First-year Jazzkia Jones held the megaphone and asked supporters to “make some noise” for their class. The crowd responded showing a united group, with nearly equal representation and support from all of the classes. The rally extended into the Greencastle community as they walked through the square before heading back towards campus, where the group met in a circle in front of Roy O. West Library. Once assembled, Lopez asked the group to take a few deep breaths and reflect on the event and its impact. “Right now, we are loud, but we aren’t always so vocal on the subject.” Lopez said, as she urged the group to keep the momentum from the rally and continue to be supportive of the cause. Lopez then yielded the floor for people to share their stories about how sexual violence has impacted them. Senior Yechan Hong likes the idea behind the rally but feels that the concept should go beyond just chanting a message to the public. “When you’re going out and chanting about a problem that is a one-way communication where people who have an idea about something express their opinions.” Hong said. Instead Hong believes things would be more effective if people heard the stories of survivors so there could be dialogue to come to a neutral understanding. The group met Lopez’s urge for continuing support of this cause with agreement. Sophomore Nicole Darnall felt that a community like DePauw really needed to hear the message of Take Back the Night. “It’s easy for something like this to happen and people to want to hide [rape] to protect people because it is such a small community and everyone knows everybody.” Darnall said. “It needs to be addressed that it’s okay to say ‘no,’ and it’s okay to have an issue with what happened the night before, and it’s okay to tell someone.”

The fallacy of the “erase” option in Internet use From an early age we’ve been told to be careful with what we post on the Internet as it would likely catch up with us one day. For California Internet users under the age of 18, such words of wisdom became obsolete as of Monday when California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill that will prevent advertising of ‘unsuitable’ goods to minors and allow them to remove content they post online. The bill in question, SB 658, with what has become known as the “eraser provision” requires websites where California minors are registered to have a way to delete content they have posted. While at face value the legislation seems positive in that it will protect minors from advertisers and from “frequently self-reveal[ing] before they self-reflect,” per Jim Steyer, CEO of Common Sense Media, we question whether the ability to erase will do more harm than good. One of the reasons for the legislation was its potential to prevent cyberbullying. Though some cyberbullies may reconsider their words before they cause too much damage and repeal them, others may allow their harmful remarks to be seen, do their damage and “erase” them thereby deleting the evidence of what they did. Additionally, the legislation fails in that it cannot completely delete these posts from the worldwide web. The opportunity to screenshot posts, as has been a problem for Snapchat, will continue to prevent complete erase capability, as will the web files that allow any content to be a web search away (whether or not it was deleted from a site). While we understand and appreciate that California legislators are looking out for the well-being of these adolescents, especially as they apply for college and jobs, we also wonder whether this will inhibit accountability. Teaching kids that everything they do can be erased and forgotten seems like a dangerous lesson. Words spoken between two people cannot be taken back, nor can human actions. Why should web postings receive special protection? As college students, we contend that if this “erasure” right should exist it should blanket college students and some young adults or cover everyone, regardless of age. People often make larger mistakes or post more regrettable content during college years; see Erodr, Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, etc., for example. While in theory, lessons on Internet responsibility should sink in by the time students reach college institutions, very often they do not. If young children are learning they don’t have to be accountable for their postings, chances are high that college-level content will get that much worse.

Are first-years welcome on campus? EMILY MCCARTER
A
lthough you can tell the first-years around campus by the obvious lanyards, you can also tell by their willingness to make new friends with other first-years. But are upperclassmen just as eager to get to know this new class of students? I knew when I came onto campus around five weeks ago that I was ready to know every student on campus, from other first-years to seniors. What I didn’t realize was that not everyone had the same mentality as I did and still do. I think it’s important for DePauw to be a strong community; students of all ages, races and grades need to be eager to know each other. However, after talking to several first-years, seniors and those in between, the results were varied as to how many first-year students knew upperclassmen and how many upperclassmen knew them. One first-year said, “If [upperclassmen] are nice and friendly then I would be friends with them but I’m not going out of my way to make more upperclassmen friends.” However, this same student admitted that he knew 1520 upperclassmen by name. Another first-year student answered that he only knew between one and three upperclassmen, including his resident assistant. “I feel like there is no interaction between the freshmen and upperclassmen. Right now, freshmen are never in the same places as upperclassmen besides classes, but then there’s no time for us to talk to them,” first-year Jen Norehad said. “Socially, there’s nowhere for us to hangout
with them.” When interviewing a senior, she admitted that she only knows around five first-years and only by their first names. She also said the only reason she knows them is from her classes. After talking to a sophomore who said she knew around eight first-year students from clubs and hosting former prospective students, she said, “I think the bigger issue is upperclassmen don’t know freshmen unless they get involved, which they don’t always do.” I realized that it’s up to everyone at DePauw, including first-years, for all students to be familiar with students in different grades. If first-year students get involved in sports or other campus activities and clubs, they will be more likely to know students of all grades and vice versa. But it is also up to the upperclassmen to greet them with open arms and welcome them into the DePauw community. Among all of the Division III sports teams that DePauw has to offer, there are also over 100 student organizations to choose from to get involved in. But there is still a gap in the social scene between the first-year class and others. “The only upperclassmen I know are through the swim team,” Norehad said. “When we can go onto greek property, I think both freshmen and upperclassmen will be more willing to interact with each other.” Although some students, like myself, are eager to know as many students as they can no matter what grade they are in, others have a harder time making friends. For that reason, students need to break out of their shells and join a club or activity, or just start talking to more people in order for DePauw to maintain the tightly knit, welcoming community that it is and that many other schools admire and strive to be like. —McCarter is a freshman St. Louis, Mo. whose major is undecided.

Divesting DePauw of fossil fuels: the 2040 goal MAGGIE REPKO
T
he campus-wide anti-fossil fuel movement “Divest DePauw” is for the most part, unseen, but its organizers are diligently working to maintain and expand its momentum. Divest DePauw had a successful semester of communicating with President Brian Casey, Christopher Wells, vice president of communications and strategic initiatives and Brad Kelsheimer, vice president for finance and administration. The eight person team saw the need to shift their focus for the long haul with new goals of becoming visible on campus and being recognized and respected by the faculty, staff, administration and board of trustees. As they continue to work with immense dedication, they’ve found it difficult to communicate their goal to the average student, especially firstyears who have never heard of things like the “endowment” before. Typical questions that arise
when discussing the movement include, “Does this mean we can’t drive cars on campus or have lights at night?” Not at all. And although the individual members of the movement support renewable energy, waste-free lifestyles and low carbon initiatives, we also understand that at this point, our campus is highly reliant on fossil fuels for electricity and other necessary institutional provisions. Instead, Divest DePauw aims at a different way to reduce our involvement with dirty energy. We want DePauw to be carbon neutral, as Casey promised to do by 2040, on campus and on paper. This movement goes beyond energy reduction and looks to the future of energy freedom. DePauw holds over $500 million in the “endowment,” used each year to provide scholarships and funding to projects like improving career services or financing renovations. To maintain the millions of dollars, about 8 percent of the funds are cycled out each year under the control of financial investors, who then make returns on the money for our benefit. There are little to no limitations on what these investment firms can finance. This includes giving money directly to extraction and refining companies that make a profit off of the exploitation of fossil fuels. Divest DePauw has a problem with that; using
coal/oil/natural gas in itself is bad enough, but supplementing the CEO’s of those companies with even more money in hopes of getting a return is not ethically acceptable. Unquestionable science about the health effects of mining and extraction of natural gas, coal, and oil show its disastrous power, not only to humans but to animals and the atmosphere too. As much as there is a need for DePauw’s sustainability department and organizations like Environmental Club, there is also a need to tackle the board of director’s power in determining how the endowment is used. Divest DePauw is here to demand that it will not be used to invest in filthy fossil fuel companies. Divest DePauw is asking that every aspect of our endowment is screened before it is invested to ensure that it is not involved with any of the top 200 companies with the largest carbon reserves, such as British Petroleum (BP) and Peabody Coal. Vaughn and the other Divest DePauw members are determined to see their movement succeed.

I
think we can all agree on one thing: RIP Hannah Montana and hello Queen of Twerk, Miley Cyrus. It took Cyrus less time to get from “The Best of Both Worlds” to twerking porn star than it takes for Taylor Swift to lose a boyfriend. Cyrus, with her recent eye-opening and mouth-gaping performance at the MTV Video Music Awards and her new (terrible, but catchy) songs rising on the charts, has smashed the Disney icon she created. Just when people thought she couldn’t get any closer to falling off the cliff into complete destruction (think Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan), she released her newest music video for “Wrecking Ball.” If you mind has not yet been violated by this video, then you need to add to the 120 million views the video has already accumulated on YouTube. The video begins with a close up of Cyrus, crying of course, singing about some depressing heartbreak she’s experiencing (way to get out while you can, Liam). At first, you can almost look past her teenaged-

Hello queen of twerk: Wrecking ball wrecked all boy haircut and then you start to feel a little bit of sympathy for the poor delusional girl singing the heart-wrenching lyrics. For about 40 seconds you can sit back and think “Ahh, finally. She got off the crazy train and she’s back.” But wait. Just like an as-seen-on-TV ad, there’s more. Once you see Cyrus in her crop top (or is it just a really long sports bra?), the high-waisted underwear, combat boots, prison-like tattoos and carrying a sledgehammer, you know everything’s gonna hit the wall. And it does. Literally. Cyrus goes into psychopath mode, riding naked (well, she had boots on) on a huge wrecking ball, smashing walls, licking sledgehammers, and singing passionately about how she’s heartbroken forever and ever. Tough luck, Miley. Maybe you shouldn’t have twerked all up on Robin Thicke at the VMA’s. The video, as crazy and repulsive as it is, has caught the attention of millions, including college students on the Grand Valley State University campus in Allendale, Mich. The campus of GVSU used to feature a giant pendulum, which coincidentally looked a lot like Cyrus’ wrecking ball, hanging from a 15-foot steel cable. It was customary for students to swing on the ball without being caught, somewhat like a Boulder Run. Fun, harmless, laughable, and Vine-worthy.
PAGE 11
Well, harmless until the influence of Cyrus got involved. After the obscene music video, students were inspired (by both Cyrus and…other means) to strip naked, climb onto the ball, and scream “Wrecking Ball” lyrics for likes on Vine. The college kids thought it was hysterical, but the administration, well, not so much. In response, they removed the pendulum for “safety reasons” and now #ReinstallTheBall is trending among the GVSU campus. What can we learn from this, DePauw students? We don’t exactly have a giant pendulum, but the Boulder is pretty close. So first of all, don’t aspire to be Cyrus. Pictures of you in your birthday suit could end up in the news everywhere. Secondly, don’t let the administration get ahold of those embarrassing pictures, Vines and videos of your past Boulder Runs. And for God’s sake, don’t sit on top of the Boulder naked and scream Wrecking Ball lyrics. Not only would I feel bad for the Boulder, but also I don’t think anyone wants the Boulder removed from campus. So DePauw, let’s rise above the Miley influence, and let’s not let “Wrecking Ball” wreck us. — Hannel is a freshman from Hillsdale, Mich. whose major is undecided. opinion@thedepauw.com

Tigers host La Roche in NCAA tournament first round Senior forward Matt Reda dribbles the ball around Centre College defenders at Boswell Field August 30. At that time, the team held a record of 1-0. The Tigers now hold a record of 10-0, and their next game is Saturday against Kenyon at Boswell Field. CLARISSA ZINGRAF / THE DEPAUW
By JACOB LYNN sports@thedepauw.com
The men’s soccer team improved to 10-0 for the season, with home wins against Hiram College and Olivet College this weekend and a win on the road against Anderson University on Wednesday evening. On Saturday afternoon at Boswell Field, the Tigers battled through a scoreless first half against Hiram. Just five and a half minutes into the second half, sophomore forward Adrian Ables gave DePauw a lead when he put a shot in the back of the net, which gave the Tigers a 1-0. However, in the 70th minute, Hiram tied the game up with a goal by Rufin Sime. The momentum would not last for them though, as only five minutes later Zaire Morrison was issued a costly red card, forcing the Terriers to play the rest of the game one man short. Hiram was able to limp the game into overtime, when DePauw asserted their dominance early with sophomore Alieu Musa scoring just 53 seconds in,giving the Tigers the win. Despite going to overtime for the first time this season, the Tigers were still confident. “It felt very calm before overtime began and clearly we just needed that brief moment to refocus,” said head coach Brad Hauter. The players had the same feeling as well. “We had been dominating for the better part of that game, and we just knew it was coming,” said junior forward Andy Morrison. “We said right before overtime that we were going to get this over
quickly.” The 2-1 win improved the Tigers to 8-0, but it did mean the end of junior goalkeeper Jacob Pezzuto’s incredible shutout streak. Hiram’s second half goal was the first Pezzuto had allowed since the season opener against Centre. Coach Hauter was proud of the way the team responded to the goal. “I love the response. No one put their head down, no one panicked, we just went back to work,” said Hauter. “One thing that exists in champions is how they respond when they are knocked down.” The Tigers had little time to celebrate the win, as they headed right back to Boswell on Sunday afternoon to face Olivet. After a tough and emotional game on Saturday, there were doubts about the readiness of the team for Sunday. “From the moment the Saturday game ended I was asking myself why I scheduled a game for Sunday,” Hauter said. “The emotion of NCAC play followed by a strong non-conference opponent is not a good recipe. Fortunately the guys have… over come my scheduling.” A key moment came early in the sixth minute of the game, when Olivet goalkeeper Ryan Grashik was issued a red card. For the rest of the game, replacement goalkeeper Alex Lang would only play with nine men in front of him. The red card proved to be the deciding factor of the game for the Tigers. With one less man on defense, DePauw was able to control possession and outshot the Comets 12-6. This was crucial, as the Tigers offense put four goals past Lang. The first came halfway through the first half, when first-year Julian Gonzalez scored his first of two goals in the game.
The action really heated up in the second half, when Olivet came out and put a lot of pressure on Pezzuto. After a few quality saves, the Comets finally scored just five minutes into the half to tie the game at one. The Tiger offense got rolling again when, just four minutes later, Andy Morrison found the back of the net to give DePauw a 2-1 lead. Five minutes later, senior George Elliot assisted on a goal by Ables that would prove to be the game winner. Only 21 seconds after the Ables goal, Gonzalez tallied his second score of the game to give the Tigers a 4-1 lead. “We didn’t play our best soccer Sunday, especially with being a man up the entire game,” Pezzuto said. “That being said, once we were able to settle down and play our game I think our response was a perfect example of what we are capable of as a team.” With the large lead, sophomore Chris Yount played the last twelve minutes in goal for the Tigers, allowing one goal. The Tigers would go on to win 4-2 and improve to 9-0 on the season. DePauw experienced something that they had not yet encountered in their game Wednesday against Anderson. For the first time all season, the Tigers trailed. In the 24th minute, Brody Reinholt scored on a pass from Todd Canal to give the Anderson Ravens an early 1-0 lead. For the first time this season, the Tigers would be forced to make a second half comeback. When the new half began, the Tigers needed almost twenty minutes to get back on track. As they have done multiple times this year, the De-
Pauw offense kicked it into high gear and quickly stunned the Ravens. Andy Morrison scored in the 64th minute to knot the game at one and three minutes later, the game-winning goal was scored by Elliot, with an assist from Gonzalez This was not the best performance of the season by the Tigers. After going six straight games without allowing a goal, Pezzuto had now given up four goals in the last three games. It also took DePauw more than a third of the game to get itself going. However, the 2-1 win improved the Tigers to 10-0 on the season and continue the best start in school history. With the two wins this weekend, DePauw was vaulted to the ninth ranked team in Division III soccer. The Tigers jumped eleven spots in the rankings, done by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. Hauter is very proud of his team’s mindset throughout this remarkable run. “This is a unique team in that there is a really high level of understanding of the game, winning and being competitive,” Hauter said. “There is such a drive in our older players, that they have kept everyone locked in on the next opponent.” A key that players point to in the streak is the communication that the coaching staff has with them. “We come into every practice ready to compete, and if coach ever feels the focus isn’t there, or there’s something he doesn’t like he’ll talk to us about it,” said Pezzuto. DePauw looks to improve to 11-0 as they host Kenyon College in a NCAC battle next Saturday afternoon at Boswell Field.

Castino and Gooch are joined by Ueland, a forward on the women’s soccer team for the NCAC Player of the Week. Unlike Castino and Gooch, who are months away from their final days as college athletes, Ueland has only just started her tenure with DePauw’s program. Coming in from Henry Clay High School in Lexington, Ky., Ueland didn’t know if she would play soccer in college. Unlike the bigger schools she considered, DePauw head coach John Carter promised Ueland that she would have a spot on the team, who went 7-11 in 2012. In her first seven games as a college athlete, Ueland has recorded six points, tied with sophomore Stephanie Martin for the most on the team. Ueland has quickly adjusted to her role with the team. “I didn’t have a lot of expectations, I didn’t know I was going to start,” Ueland said. “I’ve had to re-evaluate myself as a player because now teammates rely on me… Now I can prepare better. I worked hard this summer, and didn’t realize how big of an impact that would make.” Ueland led the 4-4 Tigers to two wins last week, which included their NCAC opener against Hiram College. Ueland scored two goals in the contest, both assisted by junior midfielder Chloe Jacob. The Tigers have now won four games in a row, scoring ten goals in the winning streak. They return to play tomorrow afternoon at Kenyon College. The Kenyon squad has a freshman standout of its own. Cam Sacristan, a forward from Napa Valley, Ca., has already scored two goals this season. DePauw’s athletic program hopes to continue its success in this week of play. Women’s golf, field hockey, volleyball, football, men’s and women’s tennis, and men’s and women’s soccer return to action this weekend. The seven athletes that have been given NCAC Player of the Week awards in the past three weeks hope to lead their respective teams to victory.

For the second season in a row, DePauw women’s volleyball team is soaring through its season with an outstanding win-streak. They are currently 13 games into the season, with 12 of those being wins. The only loss of the season came at the hands of Ohio Northern University in the Tiger’s first match-up of the season. There are a lot of parallels being drawn between this season and last. In 2012, DePauw lost its first two games, but then continued the season to establish the longest win-streak in women’s volleyball history with 17 straight wins. So far this season, the Tigers have only had one North Coast Athletic Conference game, which was against Oberlin, but that is soon to change as their schedule starts to rev up with more conference games. “We had a successful season last year, but we know we have a lot more in us and can take our game to a higher level,” said sophomore Faith Rolwes. “Our current win streak has definitely fueled our team. We’ve won a lot of
big games against really good teams so that’s definitely boosted our confidence and the strong competition has helped us to take our game to the next level.” Head coach Deb Zellers has coached the women’s volleyball team at DePauw, her alma mater, for 19 years and has an outstanding coaching record at 407-221. Not only has she taken the team to the Division III postseason twice, Zellers is also the coach with the most wins in the program’s history. The Tigers are next looking toward two home games this Saturday at Neal Fieldhouse. Their first game of the weekend is against College of Wooster, and it is an NCAC game. Last season, they beat Wooster 3-1. “A lot of our success early on this year has a lot to do with how we ended our season last year,” said Rolwes. “We finished second in conference, so that really fueled us to want to work hard over the summer, during our pre-season and practices so that we can achieve our ultimate goal this year of winning conference and going to the national tournament.”

DePauw’s field hockey team took their recent hot streak to a whole new level on Wednesday with an astounding 11-0 win over Earlham College at Blackstock Stadium. The Tigers exploded offensively starting with a goal merely four minutes into the game while also outshooting the Quakers 40-0. They did not let up for a second seeing the shutout through toward a nineteenth straight NCAC victory continuing a streak dating back to last season. Earlham had no answer for the Tigers’ offense firing on all cylinders. First-year midfielder Addie Ball kicked off the scoring four minutes in, and added another later on in the same half. Ball commented on her prominent role overall this season. “I love the opportunity to be a contributor. Anyone can go out there and be an impact player, but I feel so fortunate to have that opportunity,” Ball said. Ball, however, was not the only fist-year that contributed to the Tigers cause on Wednesday. About halfway through both halves, with the game well in hand, the Tigers’ starters were pulled and the bench players were given an opportunity to gain experience. First-year forward Jamie Stoner added a goal early on in the second half on a perfectly struck shot nestled into the corner to put the Tigers up 9-0. Stoner was excited to contribute. “It’s great every time I go out on the field, playing against the best competition in division three field hockey,” Stoner said. “It makes me want to work harder.” As a team, DePauw field hockey has really meshed together well and seems to be clicking on all levels. “We’ve gotten used to playing together and talking on the field,” said Stoner. The Tigers have caught fire since their 1-3 start, but have improved to 6-3 overall, and remain undefeated in NCAC play at 5-0. Although the Tigers are not nationally ranked, the NCAA has started to take notice as DePauw received 58 votes to be ranked in the top 20 teams in the nation. As the Tigers continue their success, one must wonder what could be the key to such high level of play. “Passing and using everyone on the field instead of dribbling and beating people individually has been a major factor in our success,” Ball said. “Everyone gets involved.” DePauw also took home two wins last weekend, defeating Oberlin College 2-1, and the College of Wooster 2-0. Junior forward Paige Henry and senior midfielder Chelsea Cutler scored with Ball on the assist against Wooster. The Tigers maintained a shutout while not allowing a single shot on goal. Two first half goals proved to be enough for the Tigers against Oberlin scored by junior forwards Maggie Campbell and Kate Jovanovic respectively. Oberlin snatched one back in the second half, but the Tigers held firm and secured the win. The Tigers are back in action this Saturday at Blackstock Stadium against Ohio Wesleyan University.

NCAC honors three more players of the week
PAIGE GOOCH - GOLF By ERIC N. ST.BERNARD sports@thedepauw.com
For the third week in a row, DePauw Tigers’ Athletic Program has had multiple athletes awarded NCAC Player of the Week. This week, senior Paige Gooch (women’s golf), senior Charles Castino (men’s golf), and first-year Emma Ueland (women’s soccer) were given the honor. The trio makes seven total NCAC Player of the Week Awards since sophomore Keely McGrath and junior Jake Pezzuto’s were announced on Sept. 9. Since then, DePauw has seen personal awards given in field hockey, women’s cross country, women’s soccer, and men’s and women’s golf. For Gooch, a senior from Fort Mitchell, Ky., her congratulatory phone call from NCAC headquarters was the second in less than one month. On Sept. 3, Gooch was named golfer of the week after recording
CHARLIE CASTINO - GOLF a two-day score of 154 at the Anderson University Invitational. The fourth-ranked Tigers’ team shot a 630, and won first place at the tournament. This past weekends’ first-place team finish at the O’Brien National Invitational, however, was much more satisfying for Gooch and her four teammates. “O’Brien is the biggest tournament we play this fall,” Gooch said. “It was great for us to see competition across the country and move us up [in NCAA rankings]. We haven’t won it [until] this year, so that was huge.” Despite a rough start last Monday at University of Notre Dame’s Warren Golf Course, Gooch received team support from first-year Alexandria Ramirez and senior Abby Dickey. Ramirez, who attended Community School of Naples in Florida, shot 160 for the tournament, tying for ninth place. Ramirez is one of three first-years who will benefit from a year of playing with Gooch, one of the University’s most valuable women’s athletes

in the last half-decade. Gooch was named NCAC Player of the Year for the 2012-13 season. Furthermore, the math and economics major was selected for the Capital One Academic AllAmerica Division III Women At-Large team at the beginning of the summer. Gooch, who has a standing job offer with a corporate finance company in Indianapolis, has a cumulative grade point average of 3.68. Charlie Castino, who netted the men’s golf player of the week award, noted the difficulty Gooch must face in her athletic and academic success. “It’s extremely hard,” Castino said. “We’re gone on weekends and Mondays. When you take out weekends, you have to do all your work in that Tuesday to Friday frame.” In the Rhodes Fall Collegiate Classic, Castino led the Tigers to a ninth-place finish, shooting 144 in two rounds. The senior from Noblesville, Ind. had

another strong performance this past weekend at Franklin College’s Dick Park Invitational. The Tigers finished in fourth place, led by Castino’s 150 tworound shot. Castino has progressed in his game he arrived at the University from Noblesville High School in 2010. “I worked at a golf course over the summer and got a lot of practice,” Castino said. “This is my last year, I wanted to come in and be a leader… My freshman and sophomore year, I didn’t buy in to anything.” One of the positive trends in the early season is the team’s upward progression in tournament rankings. After finishing 12th at the Transylvania Fall Invitational, the nen’s team finished ninth and
