Indiana’s Oldest College Newspaper
David Brooks closes Old Gold weekend BY BROCK TURNER news@thedepauw.com
From the age of seven, New York Times columnist and author David Brooks knew he wanted to write. For the last 46 years, he’s composed everything from movie reviews to novels on the unconscious mind. Brooks cites a pivotal moment at which his dream career became a reality. After writing a piece for his college newspaper in which he bashed one of the nation’s most prominent journalists at the time, William F. Buckley, Brooks received a unique offer from him. Buckley offered Brooks a job in front of the student body during a speech at the University of Chicago. Although Brooks, at the time a student at the university, was not in the audience, he would contact Buckley three years later and begin working for him. “He [Buckley] was probably one of the two or three most famous journalists at the time,” Brooks said Saturday evening to an audience of students, faculty, and alumni at DePauw University’s first Ubben Lecture of the year in Kresge Auditorium. “He sent me on my way, and I’ve just been writing ever since.” Brooks’ evening lecture ended a busy Old Gold weekend in which DePauw kicked off a $300 million capital campaign. He cited his books and columns, as well as new and original research during his 90-minute lecture. The focus, however, was less about his previous work; Brooks addressed the audience directly. “If you want to feel good about America, go visit a college campus,” Brooks said. He encouraged students to avoid getting caught up in “resume virtues” and encouraged them to develop their “eulogy virtues.” Brooks believes accomplished students are often rich in “resume virtues” which include high test scores, impressive internships and professional connections but fail to develop themselves as truthful, rational and loving human beings. “These are non-overlapping skills,” he said. “We would all agree that the eulogy virtues are more important than the resume

LEAH WILLIAMS / THE DEPAUW virtues. Yet we live in a culture that pays a lot more attention to the resume virtues than the eulogy virtues.” Brooks encouraged the audience to, “go back to the basics of who we are and what’s important, and how you become aware of your own weaknesses and how you actually build character.” Brooks's speech resonated with the audience and left them thinking. “I thought the topic was really beneficial for our generation to hear,” said first-year Lindsay Jones. “It served a good purpose for both the alumni and students that were there. I reflected on myself while I was sitting in the audience. I want to have a deeper perspective
in my own life.” Sophomore Claire Halffield felt similarly. “I feel like [David Brooks] brought up an important perspective that some people, especially college students, don’t think about any more,” she said. “Rather than focusing on material things, focusing on values and living a life of happiness.” Crediting his work’s inspiration to “sheer desperation,” Brooks believes reading and researching is an important aspect to his work, where he often combines theology and poli

DePauw University publically launched “The Campaign for DePauw,” a fundraising campaign with a $300 million goal, at a kick-off celebration on East College lawn. According to the press release, the campaign “will seek new funds to support the university’s academic programs, financial aid efforts, student preparation programs and an array of campus improvements.” “It is DePauw’s moment, and it will take the participation of a great many of our loyal alumni and friends to meet the challenge we are setting today,” University President Brian Casey said in a press release. “I am confident we will rise to the challenge and, as a result, that DePauw will ascend as a college known across the state, nation and the world as a place that changes lives.” DePauw last launched a captial campaign in 1992. “At its core, a campaign is an opportunity to set key priorities and seek resources that allow us to make critical investments in crucial initiatives and programs,” said Melanie Norton, vice president for development and alumni engagement, in a Sept. 30 email to faculty, staff and students. Sarah Wallace, ‘76, and David Hoover, ’67, are the campaign’s co-chairs. “The size of this campaign, the money we’ve raised right now, is significantly greater than you’ll see in any liberal arts college in our region, in our space,” Casey said in a press conference Friday afternoon. “It is a massive campaign. The numbers are enormous.” The campaign has reached two-thirds of the goal with a little over $200 million in commitments so far. These donations were made during the campaign’s “quiet phase” which mostly reached out to members of the Board of Trustees. “As alumni, this is a place that we love, a place that has shaped us,” Wallace said in the release. “We have an opportunity and an obligation to ensure that DePauw’s combination of intellectual challenge and its legacy of preparing leaders remains available for students today and for generations to come.” Hoover added to Wallace’s statement. “At the very core of DePauw are students who are transformed through a combination of dedicated faculty, small classes

That’s what I try to do.” During a question and answer session, which followed his speech, Brooks fielded questions about partisanship and politics.

“The center has nothing, it’s just a void,” Brooks said. He believes the center, the area between the Republicans and Democrats, is the answer to the partisan divide in Washington. “There was a centrist tradition. It started with Alexander Hamilton,” Brooks said. “But, to me if you actually had a third tradition using limited government to give people the chance to have social mobility, you would break the polarization because there would be a third movement.” DePauw will welcome “Orange is the New Black” author, Piper Kerman, on Feb. 4, 2015 for the year’s second Ubben Lecture.

However, the university is on track with its fundraising goals. “It would be extremely unusual to see a single gift that endows all of faculty development,” Casey said. “That’s not typical.” Funding for endowment-based goals tend to come later in the campaign. “Capital projects almost always go first,” Casey said. “I’ve never seen a campaign where they didn’t go first.” Casey stressed the importance of raising money for the endowment. He believes that institution needs $1 billion in endowment. “I want enough endowment that you can say to every student, ‘I meet all your needs and you don’t take out loans,” Casey said. His other goal is to have all faculty development programs on endowment. “This is not the last campaign; The day after this one finishes, we start the next one,” Casey said. “Now I want to go raise money.”

and countless opportunities for leadership,” Hoover said in the release. The goals for the campaign include: the renovation of Roy O. West, additional funding for the School of Music’s 21st Century Musician initiative, additional funds to support faculty development, the creation of The DePauw Trust, which will provide need-based aid to students, strengthening the student engagement programming, other building projects and re-launching the university’s annual fund as The Fund for DePauw. Those wishing to donate or find out more about the campaign should visit campaign.depauw.edu. Casey said that it would have been easier to stay the same and not attempt advancing the university. “What we were was great, but trying to be better is really expensive–unbelievably expensive,” Casey said.

THE DEPAUW STAFF REPORTS
Bridget Gourley, chair of the faculty, stressed that the faculty members are central to the mission of DePauw University at the October faculty meeting yesterday. The last meeting, held on Sept. 25, was closed to media and administration to allow faculty members to talk more freely about their concerns as a faculty, most notably about their role as major stakeholders in the university. They expressed a desire to have a seat at the table during the Board of Trustees meeting. As a result, two members of the faculty, Gourley and Harry Brown, chiar of department chairs, were invited to attend the board meeting. Gourley related that their presence was well-received. The faculty saw this as the first of many positive steps toward gaining a voice. Though it is not official,
Gourley indicated that board members felt that a faculty presence at the meeting was a good thing, and she hopes that it will become a regular occurrence. Faculty were also given three dates for conversations about their concerns, though it is not yet known what the specifics of those conversations will be. During the meeting, Dave Berque, dean of academic life, also explained that students will now sign up for Winter Term and May Term classes when they register for semester classes. Students are allowed to pursue at most 4.5 credits per semester. First semester will be comprised of Fall Term and Winter Term. Second semester will be comprised of Spring Term and May Term. Berque believes it will be beneficial for students to be able to know their options for the short term that follows the long term when they are signing up for their classes. For the first time, Winter Term and May Term course sign-ups will occur via a real-time interface. Students will know immediately if they are in a specific class, a desire many students expressed.

Staff Spotlight Facilities Service Provider Ronald Gibbs BY KEVIN KILLEEN features@thedepauw.com
After a long shift of cleaning brass instrument spit, coffee spills and lost sheet music, there’s nothing that Ronald Gibbs loves more than a nice cigar. Gibbs is the facilities service provider of the lower music department. The humble man is often seen—or smelled—on his lunch break with a crisp brown cigar in hand. He is fixated on the horizon, deep in thought. Working the night shift at the GCPA, his lunch break is a lot later than most. Regardless, he still loves what he does. Gibbs was born in Greencastle and has spent most of his life in the community. Being married to Melanie Gibbs-Long, the daughter of Marvin’s restaurant founder Marvin Long, he has some interesting ties to the community. The DePauw sat down with Gibbs to find out a little more about him. Here’s what he had to say: The DePauw (TDP): After graduating high school in Greencastle, what did you do? Ronald Gibbs (RB): I went to the Air Force. I was in the fire department rescue for four years in Kincheloe, in the upper peninsula of Michigan. do?
TDP: After your military service, what did you
RB: I came back to Greencastle and worked at Oxford Automotive, which was Greencastle Manufacturing before it moved to Oxford Automotive. TDP: What brought you back to the Greencastle community? RB: People and family. I have three brothers and three sisters. Greencastle is a great community. There’s a lot here. TDP: You seem to speak very highly of your family and the people you’ve met in Greencastle. Tell us about your wife and when you met her. RB: I met my wife as I worked at Oxford. I met her at a hog roast, and she was a student at Purdue. Then she transferred to DePauw because her mother, Katherine Long, worked in administration. TDP: Was it love at first sight?

RB: I think. TDP: Your wife is the daughter of Marvin’s founder, Marvin K. Long. When you found out she was involved in the garlic cheeseburger business, what did you think? RB: When I found out she was related to Marvin, it wasn’t a big thing. TDP: What were your honest thoughts of the garlic cheeseburger before you two got together? RB: [Marvin] had a great idea. ‘This is a seller.’ The cheese fries—mmm. TDP: What was old man Marvin like? RB: He was an intelligent man. Well dressed. He had time for everybody. He would stop in the middle of a busy day to talk to a student. If anybody had a problem, he was already trying to help. Anytime the football team came back late at night, he would have the grill closed, but then he’d open everything back up for them. He did the same for basketball too. He was a real sweet guy. He also really liked to travel. TDP: Does your wife like to travel? RB: *rolls eyes* She travels. We’re going to Florida next week. I have plenty to do. Florida is the last place I want. Miami... TDP: So you really love Greencastle. Tell me what you’ve enjoyed the most while working for here for DePauw. RB: The students and faculty. There’s always somebody wanting to say hi. It makes you feel good when you come here. And the politeness... there’s always a ‘thank you’ from the students. I appreciate that. TDP: Do you have plans to retire? RB: I haven’t announced it, but I plan on retiring in March. I have a little 10-acre place west of here. TDP: Do you have any hobbies or good books you plan to pick up once your retire? RB: Hard lemonade and cigars. TDP: Favorite cigar? RB: Leaf-wrapped cigar.

As a new professor in the philosophy department, Ashley Puzzo couldn’t be any more excited to start teaching at DePauw. He went to University of San Francisco where he studied philosophy. He then attended Purdue for his PhD, where he was offered a job at DePauw last spring. From Seattle, he is an avid Seahawks fan, but also likes going on walks, watching bad horror movies and contemplating timeless mathematical conjectures. The DePauw sat down with Puzzo to find out a little more about him. Here’s what he had to say: The DePauw (TDP): You said you like long walks and football. When an individual with a PhD in philosophy goes for a walk, is that different than a football coach going on a walk? Ashley Puzzo (AP): I think that’s a great question. I imagine in a lot of cases that it’s similar because you’re looking to relax and take your mind off of things and take a macro view on things opposed to a hyper analytical look at things. So if I’m thinking of a particular problem or paradox, it can be very analytical, but then when you go on a walk, you can get a deeper understanding by looking at it zoomed out and seeing how the different parts fit together. TDP: Can you remember your first deep philosophical thought? When you first decided philosophy was for you? AP: Yeah actually, it was a piece of moral philosophy—a famous problem called the trolley problem. I was studying in San Francisco at the time, and there’s trolleys all over San Francisco. The question is this: there’s a fat man in front of you, and he’s big enough to stop the trolley. You can either push him and save five people at the bottom of the hill, or you can not push him and let those five people die. Philosophically, it’s great because it really pushes questions about our moral sensibilities and our kinds of reasons and what kinds of rationale we can get from these things. It’s a real simple thought experiment. Philosophy
is a thinking man’s sport—or woman’s for that matter. That kind of got under me. I always really liked French, so I studied that as well, but I seemed to be spending a lot of my time thinking about these sorts of issues and thought experiments so it kind of fell into place from there. TDP: Switching topics, what do you think of DePauw so far? AP: The student body is awesome. I’ve got about 50 [students] so it might be an insufficient sample, but they’re working hard and seem to really get it and be interested in it...I think a lot these students are ready to be pushed. TDP: What classes do you teach right now? What kind of classes would you like to teach in the future? AP: I teach two sections of logic right now. With few exceptions, I’d pretty much teach anything I could. I love to teach, especially if its math or philosophy. TDP: It’s well known that philosophy is a difficult major to employ. What advice would you offer to other philosophy majors, scared of a thin job market ahead of them? AP: My advice has always been to couple it with another major. I think it makes for a great double-major: philosophy and math, philosophy and biochemistry, philosophy and economics. It’s always a good idea to diversify and not put all of your eggs in one basket. Obviously having a PhD, you’re in a different position than having an undergraduate degree. I think if you have an undergrad degree in philosophy, what businesses want to know the most is ‘can you do the work?’ You want to convince an employer that you’re smart, you’re eager and you’re ready to go. You’re excited for the challenge, and you’re competent to do it. I think if you do that, you’ll get an opportunity somewhere. You only need one. TDP: If a tree falls in a forest, does it make a sound? AP: Yes.

Philosophy professor on sabbatical will release new book in November titled “Robust Ethics” of time thinking. “The book draws not just on ideas from philosophy but also from psychology, particularly moral psychology, which has to do with the cognitive processes that produce our moral beliefs, emotions and actions,” Wielenberg said. “Since I don’t have a degree in psychology, I had to do a lot of research in moral psychology to make sure that I knew what I was talking about in that area.” He quite enjoyed the psychological research, particularly one experiment focusing on disgust. “The psychologists would often accomplish this by using varying amounts of ‘fart spray,’” Wielenberg said. “It was pretty obvious that they had a lot of fun doing these experiments.” According to Wielenberg, the writing process wasn’t all that different than what DePauw professors stress for students in their writing. BY TYLER MURPHY “DePauw professors often emphasize the importance of rewriting features@thedepauw.com and revising, and I’m here to tell you that that’s not just something we give lip service to,” Wielenberg said.

He completed plenty of reading and spent plenty Her class, for instance, read “A Clockwork Orange” and watched the movie, “Signs.” “I think that’s a good way to get people interested in philosophy,” Veri said. As for his book, according to the book’s Word document, for just one chapter of the book’s four, Wielenberg spent 6200 minutes (about 100 hours) of editing time for that chapter alone. All in all, the book’s content was written over a period of five to six years. Wielenberg has plans to use his book in the classroom upon his return from his sabbatical at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. “I will probably use it in an upper-level course,” Wielenberg said. “It can be a bit tricky using your own book in a course because the students might be a bit hesitant to critiProfessor Weilenberg in Edinburg, United Kingdom.

Apart from “Robust Ethics,” Wielenberg has written another book, “Value and Virtue in a Godless Universe.” “I’ve successfully used my first book in previous upper-level courses, so I think I can make it work with this one too,” Wielenberg said. “The keys are to include other books that defend positions opposed to mine and to earn the trust of the students during the course of the semester by demonstrating fairness and receptivity to criticism.” Veri contends Wielenberg has implemented his own work into class lectures successfully. “In philosophy of religion, we read an article he wrote, ‘Devine Deception,’” Veri said. “I think it should be done in a way that the professor isn’t imposing their ideas on you rather sharing their point of view. I know [Weilenberg] invites students to provide criticisms for his own arguments.” For now, Wielenberg spends his time as a Visiting Fellow at the Centre for Ethics, Philosophy and Public Affairs at St. Andrews. “My sabbatical project is on whether there is such a virtue as secular or non-theistic humility and, if so, what it is like,” Wielenberg said. He hopes to use what he learns there to create a new course on DePauw’s campus. To accomplish this he has been sitting in on some graduate courses at the university The plan is to write a paper and develop a new course on that topic as well as giving talks at St. Andrews and some other universities in the United Kingdom. “And, of course, I’m doing some empirical research into Scottish whiskey,” Wielenberg said.

Academic gifts most important in The Campaign for DePauw Last weekend, DePauw University launched its public capital campaign, The Campaign for DePauw, to raise funds for a slew of programs including building projects, financial aid and faculty development. The campaign began its private stage in 2012 and raised $200 million through donations from the Board of Trustees and close friends of the university, including a $25 million gift from Dave and Suzanne Hoover, ’67, for the Hoover Dining Hall and need-based scholarships. The last $100 million, hopefully, will be raised during the public phase of the campaign. This editorial board would like to thank all of the generous alumni who have donated to the campaign so far. We have already begun to see the fruits of the gifts in the recently completed Welch Fitness Center and the beginning construction on Hoover Hall. We know these construction projects are only the beginning. In “DePauw University launches fundraising campaign for $300 million,” The DePauw quoted University President Brain Casey saying, “Capital projects almost always go first. I’ve never seen a campaign where they didn’t go first.” This editorial board is excited for the campaign to move away from capital projects and toward financial aid and academic funds. Don’t misunderstand us. We are thankful for the donations to capital projects. We enjoyed watching Welch Fitness Center take shape, and we look forward to watching Hoover Hall sprout. The renovations to Roy O. West library will be a welcome project as well. But all of these buildings mean nothing if students cannot get the financial aid necessary to come use the facilities. The buildings mean nothing if the faculty and staff inside them do not have the resources they need to provide the highcaliber education DePauw has become known for. All of us who have attended DePauw know that the experience this university offers sets its students apart. It takes high school seniors who may have never left their state and gives them opportunities to see other countries. It takes students who may have never seen a culture other than their own and exposes them to the multitude of cultures that exist within borders of the U.S. A DePauw University education gives students an understanding of the world and of themselves that cannot be matched anywhere else. But such an education does not come from the buildings of DePauw. It comes from the people of DePauw. This editorial board cannot wait to see how the gifts to The Campaign for DePauw will enrich the people of the community that has changed our lives. We cannot wait to see how the gifts will enrich the DePauw education for the classes that come after us. - Nicole DeCriscio did not contribute to this editorial.

FRANKI ABRAHAM / THE DEPAUW
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Due to concerns that have been raised within the DePauw community, we as a cast want to reach out to you. First, a brief overview of the events that inspired the show: Jason Robert Brown’s Tony award-winning musical tells the true story of 13-year-old Mary Phagan, who in 1913 was found murdered in the basement of the National Pencil Company in Atlanta, Georgia. The trial that ensued was a disturbing display of corruption by the prosecuting attorney, highlighting the extreme racism and anti-Semitism in the South at the time and ultimately leading to the wrongful conviction of Leo Frank, a northern Jewish man. A glimpse of humanity came when Governor John Slaton changed Leo’s sentence from death to life in prison. This was overshadowed when the “Knights of Mary Phagan,” led by Tom Watson, removed Leo from his cell and lynched him. These events were the catalyst for the re-birth of the KKK. Watson would later serve as a U.S. Senator. This grisly story brings to light a troubling time in American history that still affects our culture. The show forces
the audience to take a hard look at our cultural identity as Americans and how these issues plague our society today. As your friends and peers, we want to assure you that we are working to express the challenging issues in “Parade,” not to sensationalize them. When we step on stage, we are not embodying individual characters that we agree with, but are representing misguided ideals that were, and remain, a stain on our culture. We have implicit confidence in our director and our production team to lead us to a final product that is both powerful and moving, and we encourage you to come share this experience with us. Tim Good, stage director of “Parade,” adds, “I sincerely apologize that some historically hurtful symbols, which have been featured in our publicity, have been triggering or outright hurtful for individuals in our DePauw community. This was the opposite of the intention.”

enee, a sophomore at DePauw University, came home to Mason Hall last Tuesday to find a sign harshly warning residents: “CAMERA INSTALLED. DO NOT PLACE FOOD OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING SOUP) IN THIS SINK!” However, the message did not end there. Below the first sign, a poor translation of the message into Mandarin, likely using the help of an online translating site, followed. As an international student from Beijing, Renee shared that this message was not only hurtful and offensive to her, but to the entire Chinese community. The fact that the message was translated into Mandarin suggests two things; firstly, the assumption that those clogging the drain are Chinese students, and secondly that the Chinese residents of Mason Hall cannot read English. As all DePauw students take the majority of their courses in English, this is an absurd and offensive assertion. One student responded with a note that read, “Don’t understand Mandarin? Don’t write in Man-

darin,” referencing the numerous errors in the translated text. While Renee is unsure of who left the message, she does not think that it was a Resident Assistant. Nevertheless, she said that Mason Hall residents and Chinese students, in particular, are “angry because the Chinese translation doesn’t make sense at all, so we just feel it’s ridiculous.” Micro aggressions of the like are anything but nonexistent on our campus. Renee expanded on this reality. “Asians who come to America want to feel that this is their new home, but how others treat them makes them feel that it is not home. I think this is what’s happened at DePauw,” Renee said. “We came here as international students, and we want to see here as home… but sometimes we feel it is difficult to talk with others. Most foreigners feel that Chinese are quiet and that [non-native English speakers] are somewhat not well educated. We are really not, so that stereotype really hurt us.” Renee said that she believes that certain groups and organizations on campus, like The Movement, Student Services, the Association of African American Students (AAAS) and the Committee for Latino Concerns (CLC), are doing a good job working to address these issues. Many often attribute acts of discrimination to ignorance. However, the message left for Mason Hall
residents was anything but thoughtless. It intentionally and purposefully targeted a certain group of individuals. Related instances reveal a need to unlearn a current concept of community. Cultural, class, gender and racial divides should not fundamentally characterize the general understanding of community on our campus. An overall feeling of inclusivity seems to be lacking, with some noticing the effects of this absence more than others. Anna Butz, a DePauw alumna and former International Student Ambassador who is currently pursuing a Fulbright in Colombia, commented on the issue. “I think this [message] is representative of DePauw as an institution, and the lack of support felt by many students who do not identify as part of DePauw’s ‘majority’ (white, heterosexual, middle to upper middle class),” Butz said. “Unfortunately, many of those at DePauw who are in positions of power (like the person who put up this poster) are those who are not aware of the struggles faced by many DePauw students.” Renee has not yet reported the incident but says that she will not remain quiet about it.

I
love being at DePauw and the opportunities that it affords me. DePauw brings us so many wonderful speakers and opportunities that lead to many important conversations and dialogues. In my years here, I have heard countless speakers on an eclectic variety of subjects. Some of the best conversations I have had in my classes have been about speakers or current events, not about the reading or the syllabus. Not only these more regular talks, but also each semester the Ubben Lecture series never ceases to amaze me. David Brooks was the most recent lecturer and is famed for his political commentary that can be found in the New York Times. Next semester we can all look forward to Piper Kerman, author of
“Orange is the New Black.” These lecturers open up dialogues about politics, prison reform and women’s rights that are all important, interesting and necessary. However, I would argue that some of the most important dialogues that take place at DePauw are between students and facilitated by students. As is evidenced by The Movement that began last spring, ideas and views from the student body can make a difference. One student-led opportunity that helps to facilitate these interactions in a safe and interesting way is Peace Camp. Sponsored by the Compton Center for Peace and Justice, Peace Camp is an annual occurrence. It is hard to miss – just look for the cluster of tents in the academic quad. While I have never been brave or outdoorsy enough to camp out on the quad, I applaud those who do. Be sure to stop by the tables and pick up a Compton Center button or sticker – these interns work extremely hard and do great work for our community. Peace Camp has a wonderful roster this year with a wide array of topics such as feminism, race, social justice, religion, human rights, sex, interna-

I encourage every student to challenge him- or herself by attending at least one event. I suggest a talk that intimidates you a little bit so you can broaden your horizons and understand the perspectives of your fellow students. With the recent and ongoing discussions about campus climate, this is a way to get involved and create a positive change within the university. Although it is cheesy, in this case knowledge really is power. It is the knowledge of understanding where your peers are coming from and what others have experienced. It is the knowledge of another point of view, even if it’s something with which you don’t agree. If we don’t keep our minds open to learn outside the classroom, then our campus climate will remain unchanged. -Bargiacchi is a political science major from Memphis, Tennessee opinions@thedepauw.com

Field hockey pushes winning streak to six BY ABBY MARGULIS sports@thedepauw.com
The DePauw Tigers' field hockey team advanced 10-1 overall and 6-1 in the North Coast Athletic Conference Saturday evening with a five-goal win over Wittenberg University, 6-2. The Wittenberg Tigers brought speed to the field, as they challenged DePauw’s play and pushed the women in moving the ball up the field. But DePauw's Tigers adjusted well and after an hour and a half of play put 20 shots on goal, with six hitting the back of the cage. “Stepping to the ball and making strong and accurate passes helped us get another victory,” sophomore midfielder Sofia Carretero said. “Knowing where the next pass was and moving to be ready for it worked well.” Kate Jovanovic, a senior, fired a shot after the Tigers battled it out in the first 15 minutes to move the ball into their offensive end and add one to the scoreboard. The Tigers spent the rest of the first half making Wittenberg’s defense weary and knocked two more goals in before halftime. Senior Paige Henry scored the second two goals of the half putting, DePauw up 3-0. “Our offense did a really good job of taking the ball up the field and scoring early,” junior Natalie Abbott said. “Wittenberg was our last conference game in the first half of the season, so it feels really good to go into the remaining half off of a good
team win.” Starting off the second half, senior Maggie Campbell knocked in two more goals lifting the score to 5-0. Helping get the ball into their offensive half, DePauw's Tigers excelled in “breaking out on offensive and creating movement in the offensive circle,” Campbell said. The Tigers of Wittenberg weren’t going home with a shutout, however. In the 44th minute of the game, Megan Loofbourrow scored for Wittenberg. To finish out the game, Jovanovic found the back of the cage one more time to make it 6-1. Wittenberg added one more tally late in the game to round out the scoring at 6-2. Going into their game against Wittenberg, DePauw focused on “high intensity and speed and stepping to every 50/50 ball,” Carretero said. “We had high energy into the game and used this, pressuring every single ball, stepping to the ball and quick transitions up the field.” Transitioning towards the end of the regular season play, the Tigers will continue to practice the basics, pushing themselves to be creative to continue their winning streak. “We will focus on our stick-to-stick passing, staying strong on the ball and moving the ball quickly up the field,” Carretero said. “We’ll keep high intensity throughout this week of practice so we can be ready for our games this weekend.” Facing Kenyon College on Saturday, the only team to defeat the Tigers thus far, and Denison Uni-

versity, Campbell says they will be two big games. “We are starting the second half of conference play,” Campbell said. “And obviously Kenyon is a huge game because we lost to them the first time.
This week we want to continue to build on quick and creative offense, but we will be focusing on transition play. So that when we break from defense to offense it's a quick and fluid transition.”
Two Saturday’s ago, it seemed that Michigan Wolverines head football coach Brady Hoke had made a questionable and, what some would call, bone-headed decision. After his sophomore quarterback Shane Morris appeared to have suffered a concussion on a hard hit to the head, Hoke left him in for the next play. Uproar immediately spread throughout the university and all over sports news for what Hoke had done. People, specifically students, are now going as far as wanting both Hoke and Michigan’s athletic director, Dave Brandon, fired. “I don’t think we know all the facts,” said DePauw football coach Bill Lynch. “Brady Hoke… is a good friend of mine, and I know that he would never put a player in harm’s way.” Hoke was later quoted saying that “we would never-ever put a guy on the field when there’s a possibility with head trauma," according to www.npr.org. Regardless of who is to blame for what happened, the incident at Michigan draws significant importance to how an athlete’s body should be cared for, whether it’s after a concussion, ACL tear or something worse. DePauw has taken the steps to make sure that events like what happened to Morris won’t happen to Tiger student-athletes thanks to the Sports Medicine Program. Headed overall by Rex Call, the program consists of five certified athletic trainers and two team physicians. “With our athletics staff and coaches, student-athlete safety and well-being are of paramount importance,” DePauw Athletic Director Stevie Baker-Watson said. “For that reason, our coaches respect the opinions of our team physicians and sports medicine staff when it comes to return to play.”

For the 12th and 13th times this season, DePauw Univeristy volleyball (16-4, 4-0) earned victories in straight sets. This time it was North Coast Athletic Conference rival Kenyon College and Marian University that fell to the the Tigers on Saturday afternoon at Neal Fieldhouse. In the first matchup of the day, the Tigers took advantage of the last-place Kenyon Ladies, defeating them 25-5, 25-16, 25-15. Junior Sarah Burtenshaw led the Tigers with 10 kills, while her classmate Faith Rowles contributed with 20 assists. Junior Keely McGrath also pitched in with 11 kills for the Tigers. Things got a little more challenging for the Tigers in the second game of the day when they took on Marian. After winning the first set by only two points, 25-23, the Tigers were forced to come from behind in the second. Trailing 23-15, DePauw rallied to outscore Marian, 12-3, down the

stretch and took the set 27-25. DePauw finished off the match with a 25-17 victory in the third set. Senior Mary Kate Etling and sophomore Elisabeth Wilson led the Tigers with 11 kills each, and Rowles totaled 40 kills and five blocks in the win. McGrath also chipped in with 18 digs to lead the Tigers. Next up for DePauw is a trip to Springfield, Ohio for an NCAC showdown with the sixth-ranked Wittenberg University Tigers on Tuesday night. Both teams will come into the matchup with perfect 4-0 conference records. DePauw won’t return home to Neal Fieldhouse until after fall break when they host the Allegheny College Gators on Oct. 24.

Lynch agreed. “I think [the program] is imperative,” Lynch said. “As coaches, we are all totally supportive of that, and we have a well-defined concussion protocol here that we follow.” That protocol includes detailed education on the signs and symptoms of concussions that coaches receive before the start of every season. But for many, the concept of having any type of sports medicine program at a university has come a long way over the past 30 years. “While teams have always had someone perform ‘stereotypical’ roles, like providing water, athletic training evolved into a profession in the early 1970s,” Baker-Watson said. “Education began including human and exercise physiology, injury management and physical rehabilitation.” In regards to education, sports medicine programs in general can provide students with great experience and opportunities. “I think students who are in the sports medicine program might gain some insight if they are considering careers in the medical field,” said Dr. Scott Ripple, who serves as the director of the wellness center and the university team physician. Unfortunately, in DePauw’s case, a student can’t directly participate in the sports medicine program. But any position in the program is a valid career option for DePauw students interested in sports medicine. To pursue this career, the student would need to be accepted into an accredited graduate program in athletic training. The accrediting body is called CAATE. Injuries in sports will always happen, but the Sports Medicine Program makes sure coaches and trainers alike get it right when it comes to treating the 550 DePauw student-athletes on campus.

Football rolls over Big Red, now 3-1 on season BY ERIC ST. BERNARD sports@thedepauw.com
The DePauw Univeristy Tigers continued their hot streak this weekend, defeating conference rival Denison Univeristy Big Red, 27-15, at DePauw’s annual Old Gold home game. Prior to the game’s 2 p.m. start, the university celebrated the expansion of its outdoor athletic campus facilities and dedicated the multi-purpose Reavis stadium to Board of Trustee member Marshall W. Reavis, and his wife Amy. In front of the 1,010 alumni, students and family members in attendance, the Tigers were victorious against Denison for the first time since DePauw joined the North Coast Athletic Conference in 2010 and are now 3-1 on the season. “[The Tigers] were a thrill to watch,” said Tiger alumni Kourtney Kartwright. “For 60 minutes, they were all relentless: defense, special teams, offense and even the guys on the sidelines cheering for their teammates played a major role.” Kartwright, who graduated in May, played under both current coach Bill Lynch, his predecessor, Robby Long, and interim coach Scott Srnka over two football seasons. This year, the Tiger football program looks like more of a formidable threat than Kartwright has ever experienced. DePauw’s running game provided their offense’s production in their Old Gold victory, recording 238 yards on the ground. Junior running back Amen Galley finished with 113 yards on 22 rush attempts, averaging 5.1 yards per carry (YPC) on the game. This was the common theme amongst three of five DePauw rushers, with sophomore quarterback Matt Hunt averaging 6.1 yards per carry in nine attempts and first-year Jack Gruber averaging 5.8 YPC in ten attempts. Gruber accounted for DePauw’s lone rushing touchdown, running in from the Big Reds’ 6-yard line early in the fourth quarter. With a 20-9 lead, Gruber’s run, which ended up being the Tigers’ last score of the game, was key in putting away Denison for good. The Tigers first score came with four minutes left in the opening quarter, with Hunt connecting on a four-yard touchdown pass to senior tight end J.D. Robinson to make the game 7-0. Robinson, who accounted for half of Hunt’s eight completions on the day, has made a seemingly effortless switch from the defensive to offensive side of the ball over his Tiger football career. Hunt and Robinson revitalized their spark against the Denison defense –Robinson caught a 34-yard pass en route to a 7-0 lead against the Big Red on their home field a year ago. However, Denison’s defense responded promptly this past weekend, recording a safety on the Tiger offense early in the second quarter. Hunt and Robinson answered yet again, this time with an 11-yard connection with 9:16 left in
the first half. Sophomore kicker Marko Adams converted a 19-yard field goal with 3.7 seconds left in the first half and showed his range with a 32-yard conversion on DePauw’s first drive of the final half. Going into halftime, the Tigers confirmed to themselves and their fans that they could compete against the Big Red. “[Coach] challenged us to make Denison match our intensity,” Galley said. “Our team is not as young as it was a year ago. The game seems to be slowing down more and more, making it easier to compete.” Despite not recording a touchdown, Galley was an unstoppable force against Denison’s spotty rushing defense. On one of Galley’s 22 attempts, he galloped for a game-long 58 yards, setting Hunt and Robinson up for the red zone conversion. For the season, the West Lafayette native is averaging 88 yards over the four games played this year. Galley reached the century mark for the second week in a row, after bullying Kenyon for 109 yards in his last outing. Galley’s backup, Jack Gruber, is superseding his first-year expectations, averaging 5.2 yards per rush thus far. On the defensive side of the ball, the Tigers put up another outstanding performance. After being riddled for 42 points a year ago, the team gave up only two touchdowns this time around. Although Denison outgained the Tigers 302-276 in offensive yards, the Tigers came up with two crucial interceptions in the third quarter to permit Big Red from staging a comeback. Sophomore defensive back Cody Baker picked off a Brandon Sklenar ball, before Denison intercepted an errant Matt Hunt throw. Before Hunt could have time to sulk, sophomore classmate Will Longthorne intercepted Sklenar in the Denison red zone. “The back to back interceptions show how far we have come, and what we can do as a defense,” Longthorne said. “We are a tough squad, and we have not beaten ourselves yet this season.” Longthorne’s play led to Gruber’s rushing touchdown, putting the final stab in Denison’s comeback hopes. Sophomore Tommy Gray led DePauw with 12 tackles, while junior Adam Folta recorded eight. This Saturday, DePauw will be away from Blackstock Stadium for the first time since suffering their lone loss of the season at Wittenberg University. This time, the Tigers will travel to Oberlin College to take on the 1-3 Yeomen. Last year, DePauw’s win against Oberlin was their first of the season. With much better standings in Head Coach Bill Lynch’s sophomore season, the Tigers are expecting a similar outcome.

Gonzalez hat trick and Reavis goal highlight dedication day BY JACOB LYNN sports@thedepauw.com
By no means was it pretty, but the Tigers (7-4, 2-1) got the win they needed, defeating North Coast Athletic Conference rival The College of Wooster (3-6-1, 0-2) by a score of 5-2 on Saturday afternoon. Scheduled inbetween games with second ranked Kenyon College and NCAC juggernaut Ohio Wesleyan University, Saturday’s matchup was the definition of a trap game for the Tigers. “You are correct it was a trap game, and I thought we handled the week well,” DePauw Head Coach Brad Hauter said. “I did not hear the words Kenyon or OWU once. The training was at a high level all week.” While he may have been pleased with the training, Hauter wasn’t too happy with the quality of play from his guys. “I was not pleased with the effort,” Hauter said. “I thought we were distracted and were not committed to focusing on the details of the match.” The quality of the competition the Tigers faced made it easy to overcome, however. The Tigers opened the scoring in the fifth minute on a penalty kick from junior Adrian Ables after sophomore Julian Gonzalez was fouled inside the box. It was only fitting that on the day the stadium was dedicated with his last name, junior Mitch Reavis would score the second goal of the game for the Tigers 20 minutes after the Ables goal. “Mitch scoring and getting an assist in that match and the way he scored could not have been scripted,” Hauter said. “That came from a
higher power, probably Dr. Casey.” For Reavis, scoring the goal was extra special. “Any goal is a big deal,” Reavis said. “Scoring one when a lot of my family was there made it that much better. I’m happy that the team put together another solid effort to stay undefeated in our new home.” The Tigers and Fighting Scots would exchange goals at the end of the half, going into recess with the score at 3-1. Gonzalez recorded

the goal for DePauw. When play resumed, Gonzalez took over. He scored just two minutes into the second half and then added an insurance marker in the 72nd minute to put the game away and earn the hat trick. The Fighting Scots added a goal late in the half to make the final score 5-2. “Julian had a great day,” Hauter said. “He is reading the game at a very high level and adjusting well. He is a special special player that is heating up at the right time.” Gonzalez leads the team with eight goals and 18 points in the 10 games he has appeared in.
“Overall, it feels great to score three goals, but it was a good team win, and we need to keep this form in order to have a successful season,” Gonzalez said. Gonzalez has burst onto the scene this year while senior forward Andy Morrison has been severely limited due to a nagging hamstring injury. “I knew that with Andy resting his hamstring, the forwards had to pick up the workload and create chances,” Gonzalez said. “It has been tough with Andy not being 100 percent, so I knew that I was going to have to work more in the game to help move the ball.” The Tigers could be getting Morrison back at the perfect time, however. He appears ready to go for DePauw’s crucial NCAC matchup with rival Ohio Wesleyan on Saturday. “Andy is good to go,” Hauter said about Morrison, who played only about 20 minutes on Saturday. “He is probably 90 percent back. He is a warrior and always brings it for this team. Giving him a little rest to recover and get healthy will have him clicking at the time we need him most.” Two losses to the Battling Bishops in 2013 cost the Tigers a chance at a conference title and a trip to the NCAA Division III tournament at the end of the season. A 3-1 loss at the hands of the Bishops handed the Tigers their first loss of the season in mid October, and then OWU got the best of DePauw again in the semifinals of the NCAC tournament on penalty kicks, a loss that officially ended the Tigers' season. The Tigers and Battling Bishops will meet for the first time since then on Saturday evening in Delaware, Ohio with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m.

Women’s soccer ties Wooster, looks ahead to rest of conference BY MEG MORROW sports@thedepauw.com
Though the game ended in a scoreless draw against The College of Wooster (7-3-1, 1-0-1), the DePauw University Tigers (2-5-2, 0-1-2) had reasons to be positive. “We would have loved to get a W within conference play to get us going,” junior Stephanie Martin said. “On the other side though it was a great 110 minutes of play, especially when that has been one of the struggles; putting together a full good 90 minutes of DePauw women’s soccer.” Junior goalkeeper Sarah Cho started her second game of the season and had seven saves to keep Wooster from finding the back of the net. “We were the first team to shut them out this
season,” Martin said. Elizabeth Seewer, who had three shot attempts for the Tigers, said, “We deserved to win that game, we fought so hard.” However, she also agreed with Martin that there were good things to take from the game “That was the first time we had a good 90 minutes — normally we only play like good increments of 20 minutes, but this was the whole game. We were consistent,” Seewer said. The main issue with the Tigers’ attack this weekend wasn’t lack of chances; it was missed opportunities. “Finishing shots would have won us that game because we had great runs, were in great attacking formation all around, but we just couldn’t find the back of the net,” Martin said. Sophomore Kelsey Cobbs agreed.

“We had opportunities to be dangerous,” she said. “We just couldn’t finish.” Going into their next matchup and looking forward at the rest of the season, the Tigers have some work to do if they plan on achieving their goals. “Our goals still remain the same,” Martin said. “We would love to place top two in order to host in conference, but we have a lot of work to do in regards to winning the rest of our conference games in order to achieve that goal.” Beyond conference, Cho brought up the biggest goal of the season. “Our overall goal is to make it to the second round of the national tournament,” Cho said. “If we are going to make it that far we need to keep taking risks out on the field and go for the goal.” Junior Alyson Marzonie is also optimistic.
“As a team we are really coming together on the field and with each game you can really see our improvement,” she said. “I think that if we continue to work on taking on our defender and finishing we will be able to be successful these next couple of games to come.” Some of the players believe their fortunes will turnaround. “All of these ties and losses have to be happening for a reason, there has to be a reward at the end of all of this for us,” Seewer said. “Last year we peaked way to early and had a six-game winning streak. I’m hoping since we have six games left that it’ll come soon—I’m excited to see what’s to come.” The Tiger’s next game will be Wednesday against Illinois Wesleyan University. Kickoff will be at Reavis Stadium at 7 p.m.
