Times a’changin’ for tailgates BY SAM CARAVANA news@thedepauw.com

For the remainder of the season, the Interfraternal Council (IFC) is taking action to restrict the fraternity tailgating that occurs before every home football game. Starting last weekend, all fraternity tailgates will be required to shutdown in time for kickoff. The DePauw University Tailgating Guidelines state, “Tailgating activities should cease at game time… tailgating activities can resume at halftime, but fans should return to the competition venue for the second half.” This regulation has been in place for years, but administration officials and IFC struggled to enforce it. The new director of fraternity and sorority life, Tracy Machtan, is leading the push for more stern enforcement. “A tailgate is a celebration of game day,” Machtan said. “We tailgate to celebrate there is a game going on and that we can go into the game and have fun together.” While Machtan may be leading the charge, she is not alone in her crusade. IFC has also backed the change. Alex Parker, the vice president of operations for IFC, reiterated Machtan’s reasoning behind the push. “We are tailgating because there is a football game,” Parker said. “If we’re not going to the foot-

ball game, why tailgate?” Fraternities were made aware of the new enforcement the week of Sept. 22. “I had one on one’s with every fraternity, and we had a really good discussion of what to expect,” Machtan said. Despite the heads-up, on Sept. 27 some fraternity tailgates continued past kickoff. Myrna Hernandez, assistant dean of campus life, said that there were “fraternities that were still there because … they didn’t agree with it.” Once kickoff has taken place the expectation is “to have music off, drinking stop and people to go into the game,” Parker said. The only individuals who should stay back at the tailgate site should be individuals there to monitor fraternity belongings. Another change to tailgates includes a central speaker system, which will be used for the first time this week. The speaker system will replace each fraternity bringing speakers and playing their own music. According to Machtan and Parker, the proposal was voted on in an IFC meeting this past week and approved unanimously by representatives from each house according to Parker and Machtan. Will Block, the vice president of Beta Theta Pi Fraterity, represented his chapter at the IFC meeting and remembered a different outcome. “I wouldn’t say it was unanimous, one or two chapters didn’t vote for it or against it,” Block said. IFC President Jim Perry that one or two chapters may have abstained. Fraternity representatives at IFC meetings

weren’t the only people that disagreed with the push. “I don’t like it,” senior Christopher Gerhardstein said. “Allowing each fraternity to play its own music lets it create its own vibe for its tailgate.” Despite the resistance, the proposal was approved and will be in place for Old Gold weekend. The plan is that individual chapters and the university will supply four to six speakers to be spread through out the tailgate.

The greeks next door: interaction between greek communities

THE DEPAUW STAFF REPORTS

New York Times columnist, David Brooks, is set to give a Timothy and Sharon Ubben Lecture tomorrow as a part of Old Gold weekend. Brooks has expertise in the realms of politics and foreign affairs among other areas. He began writing Op-Ed columns for The New York Times began in 2003. Since then he has served as an editor in various capacities, served as an analyst on air with NPR and has authored a number of books. The DePauw Media Fellows program is requiring students to attend the lecture. This group, however, is a small portion of those who may find value in the message Brooks has to share. Junior Media Fellow Erin Horne said that she believes attending, “will be conducive for myself and anyone interested in media because being a skilled writer is important in all aspects of the industry.” Professor Seth Friedman believes all students can take away information from this lecture. “I think that students are likely to gain exposure to a prominent conservative critic’s perspectives,” Friedman said. “Such views, for better or worse, are often not featured in DePauw’s classrooms.” Many students may not know of Brooks or have not frequently read his column. “I’m not sure what I’ll get out of it but I’m keeping an open mind,” sophomore Michael Jennings said. Timothy and Sharon Ubben, ‘58, endowed the Ubben Lecture Series in 1986. Since then, almost 100 speakers have presented, including former President Bill Clinton, scientist Jane Goodall and Fox News anchor Brett Baier, ‘92. Ubben Lectures are free and open to the public.

Just under 70 percent of DePauw University’s student body is greek. That means that 70 percent of the student body belongs to a fraternity or sorority. Yet many students do not seem to know much about organizations outside of the ones in their councils. DePauw’s campus consists of four councils and a local sorority: Multicultural Greek Council (MGC), Interfraternity Council (IFC), National PanHellenic Council (NPHC), Panhellenic Council and Psi Lambda Xi Jacob Dickey, a junior member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity, part of IFC, expressed his lack of awareness about the other greek organizations. “Usually on campus they advertise greek, and that just means IFC and Panhel[lenic],” Dickey said. For the past two years, Greek Week, or Unity Week, has become an opportunity for the different greek organizations to cooperate by holding events together. Senior Dione Gordon, a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc., part of NPHC, has contributed to the efforts aimed at having the different councils cooperate based on shared principles.

FOR THE RECORD In the letter to the editor in the Sept. 30 issue of The DePauw, Anna Gatdula’s name was misspelled as Gatulda.

“We’re all greek organizations, and a lot of the things we stand for are the same,” Gordon said. Junior Asucena Lopez, a member of Omega Phi Beta Sorority, part of MGC, said she has noticed the efforts toward more cooperative greeks. “There has been a change,” Lopez said. “Every council is trying to be inclusive of each other when doing events and participating in them.” As Greek Week draws to a close, however, this could mean the end to these interactions, at least until next year. Junior Shakira Gibson, a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., part of NPHC, is concerned with the continuation of these efforts in the long run. “I’ve been working on a step show with members of IFC and Panhel, and the relationship seems genuine,” Gibson said. “But I don’t know if they’ll last beyond this week.” This brings up the question of why these different organizations are normally so separated. Junior Connor Gordon, a member of Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity, part of IFC, has noticed this. “I think there is a lot of fragmentation about it—not a lot of awareness going back and forth,” Gordon said.

Seniors Jonathan Reyes and John Yates, members of Lambda Sigma Upsilon Fraternity, part of MGC, also commented on the lack of awareness of other greeks. “I think there’s a miseducation and kind of a silencing of our types of organizations,” Reyes said. Many chapters are making an effort to try to bridge the gap between the councils. Alpha Chi Omega Sorority, part of the Panhellenic Council, has created a cultural chair to get more involved and is teaming up with Sigma Lambda Gamma, part of MGC, for the Greek God and Goddess show. “Our organizations don’t decide the goings on of the campus because DePauw is historically IFC and Panhel[lenic],” Yates said. Senior Stephanie Aanenson of Pi Beta Phi Sorority, also part of the Panhellenic Council, thinks it is important that this is now being recognized and has made an effort to reach out to the MGC and NPHC chapter. “We tried to get all of them to come over to dinner,” Aanenson said. “And we ended up doing a lot with Omega Phi Beta Sorority and Sigma Lambda Gamma Fraternity.” All in all, senior Krizza Jimenez, a member of Omega Phi Beta Sorority Inc., is optimistic that these relations will persist. “I don’t know if this will continue,” Jimenez said, “but I’m staying hopeful.”

DePauw dorm residents charged for collective damage BY MARIA RUMMEL news@thedepauw.com

The freshman dorms are off yet again to a “banging” semester, and midterms have yet to make their appearance. DePauw's online billing service, CashNet, continues charging first-years for damage dealt to their dorms. These damages have not only promoted heated discussion and tension among first years, but they have created more work for Facilities Management, the resident assistants and the area coordinators. According to the DePauw Activity Report, on Sept. 21, the signs in south quad went missing. Stolen property, however, is not the only problem. “Someone punched four holes in the wall in my hallway, and if no one comes forward our whole side of the floor is going to have to pay for it," said first-year Emma Flynn. “Of course I understand that it needs to be paid for, but considering I wasn’t even in the dorm when it happened, much less punched the wall, I really don’t want to have to pay for something I didn’t do.” This is not a new issue. Last year, especially during winter term, the first-year dorms endured quite a bit of damage. After winter term, an email went out from the area coordinator in Bishop Roberts Hall to explain the cause of the charges, such as

broken exit signs, stolen or broken furniture, broken doors, trashed common areas and excessive vomit clean-up. While all of that happened during Winter Term, many residents were unaware of the damages until the spring semester had already started. “I think that the destruction was allowed to go on too long before any repercussions occurred,” said sophomore, and previous Bishop Roberts resident, Vyvian Borse. “I feel like it could be handled better if there were prompt consequences.” It appears that this year, the RAs and area coordinators have been quicker to respond. “Our RA wrote a note next to the holes asking who did this and if no one fessed up we would all have to pay for it,” said Humbert Hall resident Anna Abrahamson. The floor also received an email asking for any information about the damage from the residents. When damage goes unreported, the cost of repair and extra hours for the Facilities Management team are split among the floor or building, depending on the location of the infraction. Keeping the charges down for most students can be accomplished by reporting the individuals involved to your RAs or anonymously by filling out a Silent Witness form. Due to their involvement in Old Gold Weekend preparations, Facilities Management was unable to provide a comment for this article.

The building signs have been restored to their original locations. NICOLE DECRISCIO / THE DEPAUW

GREEK WEEK

Write for news Contact news@thedepauw.com Each fall, members of greek organizations from all four councils come together to compete in Greek Week. The event is meant to unify the greek community into a whole and is made up of fun events such as tug of war, a step show and a talent show. Teams are made up of members from different chapters and compete against each other. At the end of the week, the chapter with the most points wins Greek Week.

About Old Gold Old Gold Day was founded on Nov. 16, 1907 by former university President Edwin Holt Hughes as a way to stop the fighting between the freshmen and sophomore classes. It originally had intergrade football teams and only included male students. It also featured a football game against Earlham College. The female students, who felt left out, created May Day in response. It was later that Old Gold took on its home-

coming nature. Each year, an Old Gold Goblet is awarded during Alumni Reunion Weekend. Past recipients of the Old Gold Goblet include: Percy L. Julian, ‘20, James R. Bartlett, ‘66, Judson C. Green, ‘74, Don R. Daseke, ‘61, Timothy H. Ubben, ‘58, and James B. Stewart, ‘73. Michael L. Smith, ‘70, received the Old Gold Goblet in June.

Artists in concert: three must-see WGRE favorites

PAGE 7

Professor performs his talent for students BY AMANDA BROWN features@thedepauw.com

JIM EASTERHOUSE features @thedepauw.com

Now that September has ended, DePauw students wake up to a number of un-pleasantries. Workloads have increased, midterms are soon sprouting and fall break seems to be quite a reach away. In order to pass through this purgatory before break, it’s essential that students treatsthemselves accordingly. One way to do so: go to a concert. Concerts offer an alluring opportunity to see an artist in a more personal realm. For many, a show can validate admiration of an artist, exhibiting them in an authentic light. For others, it can trounce an artist, sealing their fate as studio phonies. As avid concertgoers, the WGRE music staff encourages you to strap on your dancing kicks and check out these featured artists around the Midwest. Warpaint- This Angeleno group has become an indie rock allure in 2014. Released in January, their self-titled sophomore record is an eerie entity, spreading dark synths over stripped down riffs. Songs like “Keep It Healthy,” “Love Is To Die” and “Disco//Very” evoke their downbeat manner. The foursome showcased their record through an extensive summer festival circuit – highlighted by a well-rounded Coachella set. However, this band deserves an intimate environment, one containing the sinister tone that they sublimely cast. They’ll take on Chicago’s Vic Theatre Sunday. Big Gigantic – Hailing from Boulder, Colorado, this groovy duo has become a festival mainstay over the past few summers. Fusing hip-hop bits alongside a live saxophone, Big G invites a wide range of modern music listeners. They’re an adequate fit for fans that aren’t entirely absorbed by EDM but value how electronic components compliment live renditions. Although their most recent album, “The Night Is Young,” is arguably fluffy, they tend to

rely on the saxophone foundation that has made them omnipresent on festival tickers. Tunes like “The Heavyweight Champion” and “Nocturnal” more accurately depict their live tone. Champaign’s Canopy Club will house the duo on Oct. 12. Gardens & Villa- This Santa Barbara, California band has been a mainstay over WGRE airwaves since their self-titled debut in 2011. “Dunes,” their sophomore disc, elevated the band after its release in January. An appeasing mix of dreamy synths and an occasional flute, songs like “Domino” and “Bullet Train” separate them from other indie rockers as a distinctive listen. They compliment their amiable appearance with cool hued lights, most notably pinks, purples and blues. They’re set to showcase them on Oct. 16 at Radio Radio in Indianapolis.

Professor Tony Weinstein’s hands fluttered and flew over the piano keys Wednesday as he took to the stage. As he took the stage he looked cool, calm and collected, except for a slight tremble in his hand. “I’m nervous when I play, trying to overcome the nerves,” he said. “Creating images and line without being like ‘Oh my god, what’s the next chord?’” As he began playing the audience sat mesmerized. Every once in while, someone uttered a faint gasp. “I love the piece. It’s one of Schubert’s best,” first-year Courtney Feiler said. “I think it was done very sensitively. It was completely beautiful.” Growing up it seemed Weinstein was born to play piano, as he is a fourth generation pianist. Weinstein’s grandfather was the first in the family to become a piano teacher with everyone else following suit. Everyone in his family is involved within the musical world, he said, boasting a sister that sings. “Initially I was supposed to be the kid that did something besides music.” Weinstein said. Weinstein spent his college career at Oberlin College where he was a piano and music double major. In making the transition from musician to professor, Weinstein attributed the easy transition to his family.

“It’s in our blood.” Weinstein said. “The job is not performing but more teaching, which was something I always wanted to do.” Weinstein said he loves teaching at DePauw. “I think that I really get the kids and understand who they are and what they need,” Weinstein said. “When I first accepted the job, I drove up to campus and instantly thought that I was home.” Following the first half of his performance there was a short intermission. Once he came back out to play the second half, the audience erupted in roars of applause. It was obvious that there was a lot of love coming from the audience. Weinstein’s performance continued for another hour, as he pounded out song after song. As the night drew to a close, Weinstein performed his final piece. When he stopped, he was greeted to a standing ovation from everyone in the audience The performance was so powerful that it even left some of the older audience members near tears. “Tony Weinstein is my accompanist,” said sophomore Graeme Richmond. “He’s a phenomenal piano player.” For Weinstein, it’s all about the music. “Music is so endless. There is always a different way to go with it. There’s always a new challenge to overcome, a new piece to learn,” Weinstein said. “It’s ever-changing and interesting with new horizons discovered almost daily. Every answer seems to bring about a new question.”

Pulitzer Prize winning writer James Stewart, ’73:

More than a journalist

BY TYLER MURPHY features@thedepauw.com

While the GCPA seems to be turning out plays and recitals at every turn, it’s not every week that one brings up controversial topics on campus. Next Thursday through Saturday students will put on “Parade,” a musical that takes on many controversial topics including anti-Semitism and racism in an early 1900s southern United States. Students have been working on this show since April and May of last year when casting started. Parts were to be learned over the summer and perfected until the show’s opening on Oct. 9. “Parade” is about Leo Frank, a Jewish man from New York who moved to Georgia after being given a superintendent job at a pencil factory. It follows Frank from the years 1913 to 1915. On Confederate Memorial Day in Georgia, there is a big parade celebrating pride for the soldiers who fought in the Civil War, but the occasion takes a turn for the worse. While the parade is happening, the body of a 13-year-old girl is found in the basement of the pencil factory, identified by Frank as Mary Phagan. The remainder of the show follows Frank after being accused of killing Mary Phagan, featuring his time behind bars as well as his trials. His wife Lucille, however, has faith of his innocence and goes on a hunt to prove that the witnesses in the trials were coerced and coached to frame Frank. What sets this show apart from other musicals performed by DePauw students is that this one is completely based on true events. Leo Frank was an actual man accused of murder in 1913, and the performance spares no event or occasion. “I would have to say that my favorite part about this show is the history that it tells,” said junior Yazid Gray, who plays the role of Jim Conley

in the show. The costume choices are made based on the clothing worn in the period, as well as the set design. “What I love about “Parade” is every time I watch it at rehearsals I feel something,” said junior Laura Loy, one of the assistant stage managers, who is in charge of running the fly system. Senior Benjamin Ramos—assistant music director, music dramaturge and piano number two of the show—thinks the show can bring something new to the students at DePauw. “It’s been a very eye opening experience,” Ramos said. “As a minority, racism and discrimination are aspects of my life I have dealt with but not in a large quantity like this. The show allows people to see real injustices that go on in the world.” The display case in the GCPA is already starting a buzz around campus, with the inclusion of early 1900 southern symbols such as the Confederate Flag and a noose. “I put the display case together,” Ramos said. “It’s cool to see how this has already had an impact on campus.” Loy hopes it will make students question their ideals and get people engrossed in the performance. “You can't go to this show without empathizing with characters, without feeling something,” Loy said. “I think that's what people can expect. They aren't just going to go to this show and walk out untouched.” Gray holds similar feelings about the show. “I hope people come to the show with an open and thoughtful mind,” Gray said. “These are really strong and emotional situations. I feel like the show will open people's eyes to history and how far we have come but also how far we have to go.” The actors and directors of the show will be holding a panel today at 11:30 a.m. called “The People v. Leo Frank” in Moore Theatre in the Green Center for Performing Arts. The panel will discuss the controversial topics brought up in the musical. The performances are next Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Julie Strauser, '16; and Joey Leppek, '15, portray Lucille and

Leo Frank, respectively, in DePauw Theatre's performance of "Parade." COURTESY OF DEPAUW UNIVERSITY

James B. Stewart, ’73, is a jack of many trades. Stewart works as a journalist and has for decades. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1988 when he worked at The Wall Street Journal, has written for The New Yorker since 1992 and currently writes the “Common Sense” business column for The New York Times. But he also serves as an advising member of DePauw University’s Board of Trustees, teaches economic and business journalism at Columbia University in New York and plays the piano. Stewart returns to DePauw frequently and added another visit to his list earlier this week when he returned for the fall Board of Trustees meeting. For him, remaining involved in his alma mater has been an “enriching experience.” He believes that the small, liberal arts school experience should be treasured. “It’s been a key dimension of my life,” Stewart said. After graduating from DePauw in 1973, he attended Harvard Law School. Although he is a member of the Bar in New York, law isn’t his passion. He

chose to leave it behind for his true passion: journalism. That’s the story he told when he spoke to Samuel Autman’s news writing and editing class this week. “It was cool to hear him talk about how you can be successful doing something that you love,” sophomore Kristin Martin said. Stewart traces his passion for print back to his term as editor-in-chief of The DePauw in the fall semester of his senior year, 1972. “It was still a tumultuous time on American campuses,” Stewart said. Nationally, the country faced the Vietnam War and Watergate. During Stewart’s time at DePauw, students firebombed the campus ROTC building, which stood where Bowman Park is now. Thanks to the bombind, it burned down. During Stewart’s semester as editor of The DePauw, the newspaper published an editorial backing George McGovern, the 1972 democratic candidate, in the presidential election, a bold move in the red state of Indiana. “I went to get my haircut and the barber refused to cut my hair because I was editor of the paper that supported McGovern,” Stewart said. The late 60s and early 70s were a tumultuous time for DePauw as well. Students began challenging archaic social norms such as women returning to the dorms by 11 p.m. on weeknights and students wearing formal attire to dinner.

“People were wearing t-shirts with peace signs and a noose around their necks,” Stewart said. “I didn’t, but people were.” The face the university put on 40 years ago looked very different as well. Stewart remembers DePauw administrators propagating an image of DePauw as alcohol free, sexual assault free and homosexuality free. He remembers fewer non-white students on campus as well. “There was a lot that went on that you were just supposed to keep quiet about it,” Stewart said. The administrators kept up the façade partly by refusing to talk to student journalists. “I don’t think the president at the time gave me a single interview as editor,” Stewart said. Despite a reluctant administration, Stewart’s generation moved the student media into a louder role. He recalled working on an investigative piece into the firing of the then-head of facilities management. The rumor was the man lost his job because the university president’s wife wanted him to. Stewart was so deep into the investigation that he hadn’t been doing the reading for his New Testament class. When the professor gave a surprise essay quiz, Stewart said he wrote a straight-forward essay explaining he hadn’t done the reading because of the newspaper’s investigation.

“The professor called me in and said, ‘I have to give you an F, but keep doing what you’re doing,’” Stewart said. “There were faculty members behind the scenes egging us on.” If journalism is Stewart’s major passion, music is his minor one. Stewart began playing the piano when he was in fifth grade and has taken lessons intermittently since. Stewart practices the piano for an hour each day, using it to push everything from his mind and focus. “I think it’s a little bit like meditation is for some people,” Stewart said. During his visit this week, Stewart performed a recital for the Faculty Select Series, accompanied by baritone Benjamin Weil. The two performed Schubert’s Piano Sonata in A Minor and a full-length performance of Robert Schumann’s song cycle “Dichterliebe.” “He had a nice choice song wise,” said Crystal Lau, a junior music student. “It kept my brain busy.” Although Stewart didn’t study music while at DePauw, the School of Music factored into his decision to attend school in Greencastle. For Stewart, playing the piano isn’t all that different from journalism. “It’s similar in that it’s another form of storytelling,” Stewart said.

A first-year perspective of the year so far

Leann Burke | Editor-in-Chief Nicole DeCriscio | Managing Editor Kevin Killeen | Chief Copy Editor

HUSSAIN HABIB

Italy’s new tactic against mafia crime Although stories of the Italian mafie might just seem like old anecdotes that make for good Hollywood movies, the mafia is alive and well. There are five main organized crime groups in Italy, and the ‘ndrangheta organization is one of the biggest. With an estimated 10,000 members worldwide and an expertise in cocaine, kidnapping and political corruption, they’re as bad as it gets. But Italy has developed a new strategy to combat the age-old problem that has plagued the land since the 1500s: exile. After getting arrested for attempted theft and damage to a police officer, 16-yearold Riccardo Cordi’ seemed destined for the life of his mafia ring-leader father, who was gunned down in mob related violence, or his three older brothers, who are all currently serving time for similar crimes. But instead of sentencing him to prison, the judge exiled Cordi’ and sent him to a Sicilian facility for troubled youth under the legal conclusion that his family seemed “incapable of raising him.” Under the facility, Cordi’ volunteered with foster children and spent his time in ways he never would have under the ‘Ndrangheta. He even had a personal psychologist with whom he enjoyed social outings and developed a close relationship. After he finished his two year sentence, Cordi’ was a changed man. He saw the other side of organized crime and how it can tear apart communities. He learned the potential he had outside of the ‘Ndrangheta name. After his 18th birthday, he wrote that he now wants a “clean” life, according to AP News. America has its own gang problems; however, the majority of these problems don’t spawn from negligent father figures, but instead, from a complete absence of a father figure. A 2002 Department of Justice survey showed that 39 percent of all inmates grew up in fatherless homes. While not everyone who grows up without a father figure is destined for crime, it’s a statistic that should be considered when sentencing juveniles. Regardless of the root of the problem, the only solution seems to lie in proper sentencing with young criminals. These youth need intervention before their crime becomes a permanent lifestyle—before they mischievously influence others. These youth need better role models, opportunities to volunteer and chances to see the world outside of their ring-leader’s scope. Cordi’ received all of these things through his exile. Unfortunately, America’s prisons don’t offer these opportunities. Instead, they only seem to perpetuate the problem. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistic, from 2005-2010, “three out of four prisoners in 30 states were arrested within five years of release.” America’s prisons don’t work. Cordi’s experience worked. He was able to build his character and turn his life around in an environment that prison or juvenile detention couldn’t offer. He helped build a community. He found inner peace. He even helped employ a psychologist. Everybody won. Cordi’ is the first of 20 young men with whom Italy will try their new solution. If the other 19 men return from their exiles the way Cordi’ returned from his, a similar program for American teenage gang members would be worth a debate. email us at editor@thedepauw.com

Public Safety and Facilities Management: working hard, all year JACKSON MOTE

ith the news of Hogate Hall containing mold and the mysterious disappearance / recovery of several dormitory signs, I’ve heard many people question the effectiveness of Facilities Management and Public Safety, in each matter respectively. But I feel as if we should focus on the positive aspects of both of these branches of DePauw University. On Wedneday, Dick Vance, associate vice president for facilities and Doug Reddington, campus project manager emailed faculty, staff and students about the upcoming mass excavation of the Hoover Hall site. In this email, they described four main points about the latest phase of construction and how it would impact our daily lives on campus. Early yesterday morning, I could already hear the hum of construction equipment as I made my way across Bowman Park to a men’s lacrosse team lifting session in Welch Fitness Center. While I was walking, I contemplated how thoughtful it was of these gentlemen, as well as all of Facilities Management, to keep us updated on something that could change the way we experience and navigate the campus. It is the little things like this that make DePauw University have an exceptional campus. On Sept. 22, at 1:30 p.m., Public Safety conducted a test of DePauw’s Emergency Notification System in conjuction with the Putnam County 911 Center.

the depauw | opinion

Although the commencement of the test may have been a little off schedule, the Emergency Notification System worked. Knowing that we can be quickly notified of an active situation that may affect our safety on campus is an invaluable tool to have in today’s technologically advanced world. Even after the test of the system was over, Public Safety acknowledged that a few students did not receive test warnings and even followed up with the students to receive their correct contact information for the future. Actions such as these, important parts of the operaton of the university, should not go unnoticed. Regardless of how mundane a construction update might seem or how a test notification to your communication methods might annoy you, they are important. By keeping us updated and in-the-know about the events that are occuring around us, these operational entities create a systemic level of communication that contributes to the overall safety and community of our campus. The next time that you see a construction worker, a member of Facilities Management or a member of Public Safety, consider saying hello and wishing them a good day. Remember that they work year round, so that past, present and future members and guests of this community enjoy its campus. Even if some of us might not get to experience Hoover Hall as undergraduates, we can all have some faith that Facilities Management will always keep the building in shape and that Public Safety will keep it and us safe. -Mote is a junior French major from Indianapolis. opinions@thedepauw.com

ntering DePauw as a first-year, I was extremely apprehensive and for the most part, I didn’t really know what to expect. I was coming to a college the size of my high school. I knew a couple kids from back home and my friends from Servicio. But other than that, I was entering a completely unknown environment. Consequently, I had trouble coping with my anxiety, nervousness and sense of discomfort the first couple days on campus. By the end of my first week on campus, my perspective completely changed. My fellow first-years were some of the most interesting, open-hearted people I have had the pleasure of meeting. Instantly, I felt a sense of connection with the entering class, a connection I feel can only be fostered in the sort of setting a small liberal arts college like

DePauw provides. Besides my fellow students, the DePauw faculty and staff made me feel completely at home during the first couple of weeks on campus. In retrospect, I’m extremely thankful for that extensive, exhausting first week of orientation because of the connections I was able to make and because of the sense of comfort I developed with the campus and all the resources it has to offer. I think I speak for myself and many other first-years when I say that the upperclassmen on campus are some of the most friendly, kind and welcoming people I’ve met. The amount of advice I’ve received from upperclassmen about everything from academics, to social life, to extra-curriculars, has been invaluable in the transition from high school to college. The sense of reassurance provided by upperclassmen to the first-years highlights the true familial atmosphere on campus, an atmosphere that in my opinion can’t be mimicked in many other environments. The academic transition from high school to college has definitely been a tough one, but the support provided to me by my professors, by my first-year mentor group and by the wonderful people of the Hubbard Center for Student Engagement

has eased the transition significantly. Upperclassmen, too, thanks for the all the advice and support you all have provided in regard to what it takes to be academically successful here. I was initially unsure about coming to a school of this size. I wondered whether I would be able to find enough people I personally related to, or whether I would be limited in the opportunities I would be provided. Now I can’t imagine being in any other college environment. The amount of support, resources and opportunities I’ve been provided thus far has been seemingly endless. The fact that I can approach our university President, Brian Casey, any time just to talk speaks volumes about the amazingly distinct, tight-knit environment DePauw has managed to create on campus. After being on campus for almost seven weeks, I can say choosing to come to DePauw was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Through the initial apprehension, hesitation and angst, I’ve really begun to develop a connection with the campus and my fellow students. And thanks to everyone on campus for all the help along the way. -Habib is a first-year from Fort Wayne, Indiana.

magine a world without waste. Everything used, produced and consumed becomes useful again. There is no trash. Throwing something away is an unfamiliar concept, and the idea of new is fundamentally altered. This year, DePauw’s office of Sustainability is challenging the campus to realize this vision. They have selected the theme of “Zer0 Waste” in an effort to raise awareness and produce change in the way DePauw’s students think about and handle their waste. An essential part of this vision of zero waste is the act of recycling. Outputs are turned back into inputs, creating a closed system of consumption. In order to achieve the level of recycling required for a zero waste community, DePauw’s recycling program will need to be entirely effective, comprehensive and simple to use. Unfortunately, DePauw’s recycling currently

PHOTOPINION How do you think that the shut down of The Odyssey Online at DePauw affects the media on campus? “I compare The Odyssey Online at DePauw to BuzzFeed. DePauw lost a casual media outlet when they shut down.” MICHAEL ARENSON, JUNIOR “It doesn’t affect the media because we already have a multitude of other sources. There were not a lot of advertisements for it.”

opinions@thedepauw.com

DePauw’s Recycling: Zer0 Waste misses the mark in many aspects. There is hope, however, as there are a few minor changes that can launch our recycling program into the sphere of zero waste. Firstly, recycling bins on campus are hard to find and often in impractical, illogical or out of the way locations. On more than one occasion I have had to go on an impromptu scavenger hunt in an academic building just to recycle an empty bottle or a wrapper. In order for there to be zero waste, recycling needs to be engrained into the everyday actions of students. The process should be streamlined and take as little effort and thought as it does to throw something away. Achieving zero waste is going to be impossible until I don’t have to walk halfway across Roy and look under a counter in order to recycle. Secondly, the signs and available information about our recycling is contradictory, confusing and often misleading. DePauw participates in a single stream system for recycling. This means that what bin you put your recycling in has absolutely no importance or impact on the process of it being recycled. All of the recycling is mixed together and resorted at the plant, so there is no need for students to distinguish between bins. The perpetuation of these misconceptions ultimately makes recycling seem more complicated than it is, leading to fewer

PAGE 11

people recycling. Finally, the size of the recycling bins on campus contributes to misconceptions of the fundamental nature of recycling. Often, the recycling bins are short and small. A majority of recycling bins, not just at DePauw, but nationally as well, are designed as the small and shallow bins. Meanwhile, the trashcans are large enough to fit several people inside them. Trashcans are normally tall enough to be seen from across the room. This disparity in size communicates that there should be less recycling than there is trash and that recycling shouldn’t be as visible and is therefore less important. The EPA claims that 70 percent of solid waste is recyclable. Therefore, recycling bins should dominate our waste management landscape, not trashcans. In order to achieve the vision of “Zer0 Waste” in DePauw’s community the fundamental ways the recycling system is portrayed and handled need to be changed. DePauw needs a program that is easy to access and understand and yet still reflects the fundamental nature of recycling. -Junger is a junior Environmental Fellow from St. Louis.

DePauw intramural sports offer everyone a chance to play BY JACOB LYNN sports@thedepauw.com

From retired athletes to normal students, everyone enrolled at DePauw University has an opportunity to fuel their competitive fire thanks to the university’s intramural sports program. “I love it,” Delta Upsilon Fraternity intramural chair Tommy Schmelzer said. “Sports, in general, were my life growing up, so having an opportunity to continue playing even through my career is over is awesome. It is a great way to relieve stress and stay active, which can be difficult while balancing school work and a social life.” For the students who are not members of varsity sport teams, the DePauw Athletic Department offers intramural sports throughout the fall, winter and spring seasons. This fall, football will be offered and registration is open to all students, faculty and staff online at www.imleagues.com/ depauw. Gina Preston, director of club and intramural sports, has been working alongside the newly appointed head lacrosse coach, Julia Sargent to get the fall season up and running. “Gina was extremely helpful in helping get the DU team together for flag football,” Schmelzer said. “It was passed the deadline, but she was still able to help us out which was really helpful in my first couple weeks in this position.” For greek organizations, once intramural chairs get their players on the field, they instantly become hooked. “I will be completely honest it can be tough sometimes [getting people to participate],” Schmelzer said. “It does take some effort to get people to participate sometimes, especially new members. Usually once they participate the

first time they realize they actually do have time for it and that it’s a hella-fun.” The first sport to get underway was football. Teams participated in their first games last week. Soccer, ultimate Frisbee, basketball and softball will follow as the year moves on. This year Preston’s goal is to see more people come out and participant with different groups of DePauw students and faculty. “It’s people playing sports,” Preston said in an interview last month. “We’re trying to get all students involved and participating. IMs are open to all students.” Just like Schmelzer said, students that have participated in the intramural program have enjoyed it. “It was a nice way for me to enjoy athletics,” sophomore Josh Clark said. Junior Kyle Whistler agreed. “It was exciting coming from a high school athlete,” he said. Senior Korrine Spears noted that in the past intramural sports have been mostly greek oriented. “I think there’s more to campus than main greek houses,” Spears said. However, the main goal of the intramurals is to bring together friends in a fun and laid-back environment. “It really brings us together as a brotherhood being able to play as a team towards a common goal so it’s pretty cool being able to make that happen,” Schmelzer said. “I think sports are a great way to get to know someone. When we are all working together and playing well, it’s truly something special.” -Nicole DeCriscio and Abby Margulis contributed to this article.

AMEN GALLEY FOOTBALL Junior running back Amen Galley is our Tiger of the Week after leading the Tigers to their first North Coast Athletic Conference win of the season, 24-0, over Kenyon College. Galley led the DePauw University ground attack, carrying the ball 25 times for 109 yards and one touchdown. The junior also contributed with a catch good for 13 yards in the victory. Next up for Galley and the Tigers is a date with NCAC rival Denison University on Old Gold Weekend at Blackstock Stadium.

TDP: You’ve been called the “fastest man at DePauw.” How long have you had that nickname, and who gave it to you? AG: I actually never knew about that nickname, but I appreciate the thought.

In the midst of the fall season, certain sports teams are already looking toward the month of March. For baseball, softball and men’s and women’s lacrosse, the fall serves as a critical part of their seasons. The baseball team improved immensely last year from their losing season in 2013, going 25-21 and winning conference. They’re still hungry and they aren’t comfortable with having just another “good year,” head coach Jake Martin said of his players. “They want another championship,” Martin said. Junior pitcher Jack Peck couldn’t agree more. “It’s important to never be satisfied with previous success because we have bigger goals of winning our regional and making it to the College World Series,” Peck said. Fall ball for baseball ended Tuesday. For the last four weeks, the team played inter-squad games and worked on things such as batting practice, outfield and infield drills, throwing progression and pitcher specific practice. “During the practices we do what we would normally do in the spring season,” sophomore designated hitter Ryan Hurston said. “It is important to showcase what we have done this summer. It is clear to coaches and players who has worked during the summer and who has not." The softball team also shared the satisfaction of winning conference last season, going an overall 27-20 with an impressive 13-3 record in conference play.

“Fall workouts are instrumental in setting the tone for the spring lingo and how practice is structured,” Head Coach Carl Haas said. “It’s season,” senior infielder / outfielder Jennifer Ridge said. “We use our a reminder for the returning players and for the freshmen, it’s an inlimited practice days to introduce new fundamentals and drills, as well troduction to how we do things.” as start experimenting with where people may play in the spring.” Men’s lacrosse looks to eventually develop an alumni program, givOne of the most interesting parts of fall ball is watching how first- ing varsity the chance to play against them in practice. years respond to it all.

Flashback to 2013: the last time the Tigers faced Denison University. The Tigers jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead. Blew that. Had a seven point lead at halftime. Blew that as well. Then proceeded to allow 21 points in the third quarter and were outscored 28-0 in the final 30 minutes of the game. “We cut down on mistakes,” Denison Offensive Coordinator Austin Holter said. “We also got a few big plays, and our defense stepped up to help us come away with a win.” Now it’s time for the Tigers (2-1, 1-1) and Big Red (2-2, 1-2) to face off again. This time, however, one program seems to be on the rise, while the other is experiencing some struggles. After a seven win season a year ago that included six conference victories, the Big Red already have two North Coast Athletic Conference losses on their record, against Hiram College and Wabash College. On the other side, however, a common theme is beginning to rise for DePauw University football in 2014: opponents that faced the Tigers last year are finding them to be a little bit more of a challenge this year. DePauw’s two wins this season came from teams that defeated them last season; the Tigers even stayed competitive in their loss to Wittenberg University, a team that defeated them 45-0 last season. “Denison is a good team on both sides of the ball, but we are fully

what it means for us in the big picture,” Holter said. “For us, it’s just about the week at hand. This week, that means putting forth our best effort to try and beat a very tough DePauw team.” The DePauw team is determined not to make this week a good week for Denison. “A win is huge,” DePauw’s sophomore quarterback Matt Hunt said. “They beat us last year. We’re at home this year, and we feel like we are better. But we still haven’t been firing from all cylinders. We aren’t going to be 100 percent on every play, but we need to keep the mo-

mentum we have going.” Hunt proved that the Big Red secondary was vulnerable when he torched them for 217 yards and two touchdowns in only his second collegiate start last season. The problem for the Tigers lies in the stout rush defense Denison has assembled. In their meeting last year, the Tigers were held to only 80 yards on the ground and coughed up the ball once. Galley, who is expected to start at tailback, rushed the ball only four times for 14 yards. “We have to do a better job of time of possession,” Hunt said. “The defense has been playing really well and getting off the field, and we need to return the favor and have drives and put up points. When we put up points it adds an incentive for the defense to get a stop.” Keeping the Big Red offense off the field will be crucial if the Tigers want to stay in the game. In all four of their contests this year, Denison has scored more than 30 points. They will meet a DePauw defense fresh off of their first shutout in a half decade. Through three games, the Tigers are averaging 10 points allowed per game. “We know they are very solid across the board,” Holter said about the Tigers. “When you break them down by position, I think they have capable players all across their defense, and we think we are up against a tough challenge.” In the past few years, however, it’s Denison who has come away victorious. Since DePauw joined the NCAC, Denison has a pair of wins against the Tigers by a total of 40 points. The Big Red also holds a 5-2 record in the overall series. Aside from recent history, this season’s matchup has at least a little more intrigue than in years past.

Volleyball helps fight cancer and defeats OWU all in one night BY MEG MORROW sports@thedepauw.com

After a rough weekend, the women’s volleyball team (14-4, 3-0) rebounded nicely at their “Dig Pink” night against Ohio Wesleyan University (125, 2-2) Tuesday. During the game, the team raised money for breast cancer awareness. The Tigers have now opened North Coast Athletic Conference play with three straight victories after Tuesday’s three game sweep over OWU. “I was really pleased with the way we came out,” head coach Deb Zellers said. “We were coming off a weekend where we didn’t play well overall, and that always shakes your confidence a bit.” The game against the Battling Bishops gave Zellers a chance to see how well her team got back up of after getting knocked down by the University of Mount Union, Geneva College and Carnegie Mellon University last weekend.

“I was interested to see how strong they would come out Tuesday,” Zellers said. Not that Zellers had to worry—the Tigers came out and pushed their way to a 19-9 lead before winning the match 25-14 on a monster spike for the winning point. “We bounced back from a tough weekend and worked hard to get back to who we are as a team,” junior Lauren Falotico said. “We had great teamwork Tuesday.” In the second set, OWU had the lead early before the Tigers went on another run and pulled away to a 20-12 lead, finishing the set at 25-19. In the third set, OWU never got within four points of the Tigers, who won it 25-15. “It was a good win against a solid conference team,” Zellers said. Junior Sarah Burtenshaw had 13 kills on the night, followed by Falotico with 10. Faith Rowles assisted 39 of 44 kills, and Keely McGrath dug up

22 balls. Sophomore Elisabeth Wilson had four blocks. The night was about more than volleyball though. The fundraiser called “Dig Pink” supported the Putnam County Hospital’s cancer center to help people who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. “Dig Pink night was a lot of fun,” Falotico said. “We were able to raise money and awareness for a great cause. Ohio Wesleyan also wore pink to join the Dig Pink theme of the night, which was great.” Now that the team has reached 3-0 in conference, they plan to continue that trend. “Our goal is to win conference. We’ve had that goal since the beginning of the season,” Zellers said. “We feel that we are a competitive and talented team, but we have a tough schedule ahead of us. We’ve had a strong start, but we need to be ready.” After last weekend, the women have learned a

couple of lessons. “In order to improve, we know that we need to treat every day as a clean slate,” Falotico said. “We can't look back and have regrets about our mistakes, but we also can't be too content with our successes. As long as we are working hard each day, we will continue to improve.” As for this weekend’s matchups against Kenyon College and Marian University, the team is ready to go. “We feel confident about our home matches this weekend,” Falotico said. “We are familiar with Kenyon and Marian, but we know that our success or failure will depend on how we play, not how competitive the other teams are. As long as we just keep our focus on our side of the net, we will be successful as a team.” The Tigers take on NCAC rivals Kenyon College and Marian University at home tomorrow at 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.
