Code T.E.A.L. week raises sexual assault awareness

VOL. 163, ISSUE 18

Jimmy Kimmel to speak tomorrow THE DEPAUW STAFF REPORTS

BY ALI BAKER news@thedepauw.com

Code T.E.A.L week, taking place Nov. 3-7, is a week dedicated to promoting sex positivity and awareness of sexual assault on DePauw University’s campus. Five years ago, Feminista!, a club devoted to women, started Code T.E.A.L, a movement to change the culture surrounding sexual assault on campus. This year for the first time, a club formed. The club intends to bring more awareness to the cause outside of Code T.E.A.L Week. “The acronym T.E.A.L is not an accident,” said sophomore Charlie Douglas, a key participant in the Code T.E.A.L movement at DePauw. The acronym T.E.A.L. stands for: Talk, Educate, Advocate and Listen. Through conversation, people will be educated about the issues pertaining to sexual assault. Code T.E.A.L believes that when people are educated, they are able to serve as advocates for the issue, as well as

DePauw University’s next Ubben Lecture features Jimmy Kimmel as a part of Arts Fest tomorrow. Kimmel has made it clear he is most interested in speaking to students, so when the doors open, only DePauw students with a student ID will be allowed in. Non-students will wait in the gym and take a number. If they do not get in, they can watch on a screen there. Due to the expected popularity of the event, the seating process will be different than past lectures. Once the doors open, students will be ushered to a row, and there will be no saving seats, so Ken Owen, executive director of of media reltaions, recommends that students stand in line with their friends if they want to sit together. The line will start at 4:30 p.m., and doors will open at 6:15 p.m. At 6:45 p.m., the lecture will open to those waiting in the gym. The talk starts at 7:30 p.m. “For the students who want to go, they need to know that they need to be in that line at some point, the sooner the better,” said Owen. “If they’re cavalier about it and they show up at 7:15, it’s going to be disappointing.” Kresge Auditorium seats approximately 1,400 people, and Owen expects more people than available seats. “I would be surprised if we had fewer than 2,500 people total who are engaged in some way,” he said.

@thedepauw / thedepauw THE DEPAUW: (USPS 150-120) is a tabloid published most Tuesdays and Fridays of the school year by the DePauw University Board of Control of Student Publications. The DePauw is delivered free of charge around campus. Paid circulation is limited to mailed copies of the newspaper. THE HISTORY: In its 163rd year, The DePauw is Indiana’s oldest college newspaper, founded in 1852 under the name Asbury Notes. The DePauw is an independent, not-for-profit organization and is fully staffed by students. THE BUSINESS: The DePauw reserves the right to edit, alter or reject any advertising. No specific positions in the newspaper are sold, but every effort will be made to accommodate advertisers. For the Tuesday edition, advertising copy must be in the hands of The DePauw by 5 p.m. the preceding Sunday; for the Friday edition, the copy deadline is 5 p.m. Wednesday.

-munity to listen to the message. “I think it’s important to educate people and start a conversation about sexual violence because, unfortunately, sexual violence does occur on this campus, and we can do something about it,” said Claire Halffield, sophomore Code T.E.A.L. member. “It’s 100 percent preventable.” Events scheduled during the week are intended to educate students and get campus talking about a prevalent issue. These events include tabling each day during the lunch hour at the Hub, providing “consent cupcakes” to students and putting on “our stories,” a powerful evening in which real stories from DePauw students are portrayed by actors. The large cutout elephants seen in the hub next to the Code T.E.A.L. table are in place to address the “elephant in the room,” bystander intervention. Currently on campus, National Panhellenic Council encourages discussion among chapters about issues of sexual assault, bystander intervention and, more broadly, rape culture. It is a goal of Code T.E.A.L to facilitate similar discussions among Interfraternity Council chapters. Code T.E.A.L hopes that starting small with a goal of two talks a year and growing as the movement does will help students become educated in a manner that is not overwhelming and in a way that does not turn them against discussion of the topics. “First semester freshman year we were beat over the head about bystander intervention,” said sophomore Carsen Trinkino. “I like that Code T.E.A.L hopes to have events spread throughout the year.” Although the club on DePauw’s campus is new, they have high hopes for redefining the culture surrounding sexual assault. As Douglas said, “Our main goal is to have Code T.E.A.L not have to exist in the future.”

In the Oct. 31 issue of The DePauw, the former Ubben Lecturer Leymah Gbowee’s name was mispelled as Leyman.

Jess Walters visits campus as latest Kelly Writer BY AMANDA BROWN news@thedepauw.com

November 6 •Medical• Transported to Hospital | Time: 4:48 a.m. | Place: Longden Hall

the depauw|news

When visiting DePauw University, author Jess Walters brought more to campus than just a long list of books and an even longer list of awards. He also brought with him a sense of understanding of what it feels like to be the only one who doesn’t fit in with the rest of their family and how that feeling affected his works. Walters grew up in the town of Spokane, Washington in a blue-collar family. His father and his father’s father were both cattle ranchers, making Walters a third generation rancher. While he has fond memories of his childhood, including when the men of the family would burn brush piles while the women ate inside, Walters found a sort of disconnect with his family. “I remember watching the smoke and bits rise up from the fire and wondered about where they went,” he said. “I told my father it would go up like a carousel, he told me to go inside and sit with the women.” Starting a career in writing proved to be easier said than done. For the first seven years of Walter’s career he would send in his stories and constantly get rejected.

“I like to call them manila boomerangs; every time I would send them out they would come back to me a few months later.” He kept all of the rejection letters that he got over seven years as a way to keep him motivated and to grow from what the editors were saying to him. While trying to get his career as a writer started, Walters worked as a journalist. “It was a great experience.” Walters said. “You always had a little mystery to solve, whether it just be the question if the school board was going to pass something.” Walters visited campus as the latest in the Kelly Writers series, giving a reading on Wednesday and a writing craft talk on Thursday. Walters finished up the reading with some words of advice to those in the audience: “keep writing and more importantly, to keep writing.” Walters focused his craft talk on the beginnings of stories and different viewpoints on them. “People always ask me how I write. I used to say in a journal and people would agree and think they were doing it right,” he said. “Now I tell them that I’m suspended from the ceiling as I paint the whole draft in French on the wall, and then because I can’t speak French I have to

bring in someone to come and translate it.” After hearing Walters share how he writes and how other great authors begin their stories, DePauw students got to look at their own writings with a new viewpoint. They found that the talk was relevant not only to outside writing but also had in class applications. “I thought it was fantastic, he’s one of my new found favorite writers,” said sophomore Billy Burke.” We are actually reading him in my Reading as Writers class, so it’s great to see him. For me I think he really nails the short story.” Walters said that he is constantly writing, and he often has multiple short stories or novels he is working on. “I got into writing poetry and other things because I would get stuck on whatever I was writing.” Walters said. “I used to go and watch TV, but then I decided that I should keep writing, so if I moved on to a different piece of writing then I would be more productive. This has been what has made me most successful.”

DePauw Symphony Orchestra starts Kickstarter Campaign for January performance BY LEAH WILLIAMS news@thedepauw.com

About every other year since 1975, the DePauw University Chamber Symphony goes on a touring Winter Term trip. The 2015 trip is going to Austria to perform around the country. “Going out and focusing on performing for audiences you don’t know, and winning them over, is a quality component in the development of our performing musicians at DePauw,” wrote Orcenith Smith, director of the DePauw University Orchestra, in an email. In January, the DePauw Chamber Symphony has the rare opportunity to perform

“The Brahms-Saal is one of the most prestigious venues in the world. It’s like the Carnegie Hall of Vienna.” - Federico Papi, senior music student

at the Brahms-Saal venue in the Wiener Musikverein, a concert hall in Vienna, Austria. “The Brahms-Saal is one of the most prestigious venues in the world,” said senior music student Federico Papi. “It’s like the Carnegie Hall of Vienna.” By the time the performance date had opened up for DePauw, however, the budget for the tour had been finalized, and the group had to fund their performance another way. They decided to use Kickstarter, the popular crowdsourcing website. “We looked at the opportunity to crowd-fund as a part of the new curricular direction for the School of Music students, the 21st Century Musician curriculum that includes an entrepreneurship element,” said Smith “Students have designed the Kickstarter website and created the video information.” The video, which was edited by sophomore flautist Eleanor Price, shows the orchestra performing pieces by Johannes Brahms and Johann Strauss, Jr. and interviews with Smith, student musicians and the Dean of the School of Music, Mark McCoy. “The thing I like most about interna-

tional concert tours is that you never bring home the same group you left with because it’s a life changing experience,” said McCoy in the video. “And we hope you help support us as we make this happen.” Price, who is among students going to Austria, was glad to be able to put together an important part of the web page. “It gave me a chance to really contribute to the campaign and feel involved in the Kickstarter process,” she said. “Even if we don’t succeed, I’m glad to know I did my part.” If the campaign does not succeed, the orchestra will still be touring and performing in Austria including other prestigious venues. “An early concert in the tour has the DePauw Chamber Symphony playing at one of Europe’s most famous music conservatories, the Mozarteum in Salzburg,” Smith said. “We are the first American college orchestra to have played there in its Solitär Room.” The 33 students interested in the trip are sharing the link to their campaign, which includes a video and information on the Brahms-Saal, the DePauw Symphony Orchestra, their potential performance and campaign, which ends Nov. 14 and whose goal is $12,500. The way Kickstarter works, if a goal is not met, then those trying to gather funding don’t get to keep any of the money raised. At time of printing, the campaign had 56 backers and has raised $4,480. Ac-

“The thing I like most about international concert tours is that you never bring home the same group you left with because it’s a life changing experience.” -Mark McCoy, dean of the School of Music

cording to the web page, the spot is reserved for the DePauw orchestra until the end of the fundraising campaign. “We need to reach out to as many people as possible,” said Papi, who, though he does not plan on going on the trip, is helping with the Kickstarter campaign. “It would be a way for DePauw and the DePauw School of Music to gain visibility to perform at such a venue.”

“Run the Jewels 2,” better than the first

REVIEW

DePauw Film Studies Series: “The Grand Budapest Hotel” BY JAKE STRAUSS features@thedepauw.com

BENJAMIN GORMAN features@thedepauw.com

Killer Mike and El-P are back to prove that the sophomore slump is a myth. Last summer, the duo known as Run the Jewels released their first mixtape for free and sent the Internet spinning. Riding the coattails of its success, they signed with Nas’ Mass Appeal Records to release their first studio album, “Run the Jewels 2.” Like its predecessor, “RTJ2” is a drug-induced, vulgar protest against the violence of organized religion and government. To further legitimize their political agenda, they enlisted Zach De La Rocha of Rage Against the Machine to perform a verse on “Close Your Eyes (And Count to ****),” a song about starting a prison riot. The star power continues throughout the album with features from BOOTS (Producer of Beyonce’s self-titled album), Travis Barker and Diane Coffee (Foxygen). Despite their constant jabs at authority, Mike’s father was a police officer, and the two musicians have a great respect for and understanding of the law. However, when that authority abuses their power and encroaches on the rights of man, Run the Jewels plans to take them down through verbal violence. Following the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Killer Mike appeared on CNN countless times to give his two-cents on police brutality. He continued this trend on the album, especially with his hard-hitting verse on “Early.” Mike raps about being accosted by a police officer in front of his family, and although he wasn’t armed or posing a threat, the officer pulled a gun on him and his wife. El-P, on the other hand is an avid fan of sci-fi novels, and his verses often read like a dystopian short story. On “Early” he takes the next verse with a paranoid vision of lopsided government surveillance, painting a picture of an all too real

society filled with cameras. The album’s message is strong, but Mike and El-P’s relationship is its selling point. When united, they parallel the Kanye-Jay Z “Watch the Throne” partnership, trading verses with complex wordplay on top of their originally composed production. “Jeopardy,” the opening track, sets the tone for the album, declaring their talent and mission over a heavy bass and drawn out trumpet sounds. Despite their former obscurity, they demand respect and make it clear that they have their sights set on the top. El-P reminds his competitors “The kitten became a lion that look at your face like great food.” With the bark and bite of “DMX” and the honesty of “Atmosphere,” “Run the Jewels 2” may take the prize for hip-hop album of the year even in the advent of the next Kendrick and Kanye releases.

Wes Anderson’s 2014 film “The Grand Budapest Hotel” will be regarded as one of the best films of the year. The cast is incredible, with Anderson regulars such as Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum and Edward Norton, excellent performances from Ralph Fiennes, F. Murray Abraham, and the debut of Anthony Revolori. The story is about the concierge, Gustave H. (played by Fiennes) at the Grand Budapest Hotel during the years between World War I and World War II. Gustave embarks on an adventure with

his newly appointed Lobby Boy, Zero (played by Revolori), because one of his more mature lovers and guests at the hotel is murdered. The pair overcome obstacles such as military occupancies, prison and ruthless brothers, all in the quest for Gustave’s “inheritance.” The symmetrical and linear cinematography characteristic of Anderson can be seen in the first shots. It is a gorgeous film to watch, with excellent costumes and colors, and the artificial, paper mâché-esque scenery used in some of the transitional shots. The wit and humor of his writing is superb. It always feels light-hearted, even in the direst of moments. There is never a dull scene, and the emotions evoked are genuine. The characters all serve a purpose, and they serve it well. Even the most minor of characters are significant to the story’s development, and that is a unique trait in Wes Anderson movies that make his work so compelling. “The Grand Budapest Hotel” is a remarkable film that throws the audience at every turn and then slowly caresses them in the soft humor and awkwardly human moments that make a Wes Anderson film so likeable. Out of all of the films that I have watched by him (I have not seen “The Royal Tenenbaums” or “Bottle Rocket”) this is tied for my favorite with “Moonrise Kingdom” and has yet again given me a reason for keeping him as one of my favorite directors and writers.

Feeding the homeless should not be a crime On Monday, 90-year-old Arnold Abbott and two ministers in Fort Lauderdale, Florida were arrested for feeding the homeless. For each citation, violators of the law can receive 60 days in jail and a $500 fine. After a Wednesday night protest in which Abbott continued to feed the homeless, he has two citations. Yesterday in an Associated Press article, Abbott was quoted saying, “One of the police officers said, ‘Drop that plate right now,’ as if I were carrying a weapon.” Abbott isn’t alone on the list of people charged for feeding the homeless, and Fort Lauderdale isn’t the only city to impose such an ordinance. In March, police ordered Rick Wood, a Birmingham, Alabama pastor to stop handing out hot dogs and bottled water to the homeless. Abbott’s situation is not unique. Indiana, Ohio, Utah and 22 other states have all fined, removed, relocated or threatened prison time for feeding the homeless in 2013-2014 according to the National Coalition for the Homeless. In 2007, Jeremy Rosen, policy director of the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty filed a lawsuit against the city of Dallas and won after contesting a city ordinance that restricted the locations that people could hand out or share food. The American Civil Liberties Union sued the cities of Las Vegas and Orlando, Florida in 2006, and last week, Albuquerque, New Mexico settled a suit over a 2010 case where people were arrested and criminally cited for feeding the homeless. According to an April Fox News article titled “Cities, homeless advocates wage battle over laws against feeding the hungry,” city officials claim that these policies are to protect the homeless from tainted or otherwise unsafe food. While this may be well intentioned, the same goals could be achieved by requiring do-gooders to obtain a permit that is granted only after a food safety course is completed. However, we are doubtful that this is the reason the cities have created such laws and ordinances. We find it more likely that policy makers wished to hide the homelessness in their cities. In fact, Sunday’s Sun Sentinel article about Abbott’s citation states the ordinance that bans feeding the homeless “one of several recent efforts by officials to crack down on the city’s burgeoning downtown homeless population.” We have to ask: When did being homeless become a crime, and when did homeless people start needing to be “cracked down” on? The causes of homelessness are what need to be cracked down on, not the people themselves. While cities have valid reasons for desiring a lower homeless population, such as reduced incidents of homeless related hate crimes, the method should not be by starving them out or removing them from city parks or limits. Pushing homeless people out of an area doesn’t solve the problem of homelessness. It makes the situation more hopeless. Instead, there should be aid programs targeted at the homeless populations that are unable to go to shelters for whatever reason. Programs should focus on helping the homeless once again become self-sufficient. We are ashamed that so many states, including our own, have passed laws prohibiting feeding the homeless. Helping another human being should never be a crime.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR As an educator, I’ve come to rely on historical dates and special occasions to ground my classroom in the world around us – from the anniversary of the March on Washington to the election season gearing up. Over the last few weeks, Latino Heritage Month has been a powerful example of this – a chance to talk about culture, pride and the power of personal identity with the middle school students in my care. Each day I bring my full identity to the classroom – as a Latina, a DePauw alum and a first generation college grad. My own Mexican family raised me to believe in hard work and respect for one’s self and others – principles which help me relate to many of my students and their parents. I know that when my students come to school, they bring much of the same context with them. So while I teach science, we always start here. As I’m teaching physical and chemical reactions, Josue reminds the group that it’s easy to remember the concept because it’s like burning a tortilla on a comal. In a lesson about minerals, Fredy creates a tres leches cake to remember the components. As I walk around the class during independent work time, Sara asks if I am

We are excited to announce that our recycling efforts at this year’s home football games have diverted over 1,000 pounds of recyclable materials away from the landfill. Tomorrow, at the final home game of the year, will you help us increase the number? If you are at the tailgate, look for the students and staff wearing green vests and handing out recycling bags. Place all of your recyclable items in one of the bags, or at one of the “recycling stations” around the tailgate parking lot.

proud to be a Latina. In my affirmation, I affirm Sara herself, along with the other young women in my classroom. Every day, students like Josue, Fredy, Sara and millions of others confront the inequalities that plague our education system. Too often, our Latino and low-income students don’t have access to opportunities that will empower them to reach their full potential. As a Latina in the education field, it is my duty to do something about this. This Latino Heritage month I am celebrating alongside a group of students that have the ability to become leaders of our future. “Cultura es orgullo y orgullo es exito,” we say in my classroom, borrowing a line from Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority – “culture is pride and pride is success.” What does Latino Heritage Month mean to you? -Christina Mora is a 2013 Teach For America corps member and graduate of DePauw University.

t must be something in the air. Indiana is not known for its air quality or green policies, and the state’s capital is no exception. Despite a bill passed this year to increase Indiana’s recycling to 50 percent, the current Indianapolis recycling proposal doesn’t look like it will conform to this new goal. Covanta, which has managed Indianapolis’s waste since 1988 with a combination of recycling and incineration, now asks that instead of clean recycling programs, the people of Indianapolis throw away all their recyclables to be sorted by the company. This plan is both counterproductive and even more unkind to the environment than the current incineration. Indeed, incinerating waste isn’t quite the

streamlined technique that Covanta would have one believe. The system isn’t entirely without benefits, either; for example, the Covanta plant in Indianapolis produces enough steam to power half of downtown. But long-term, the risks outweigh the gains. Burning tons upon tons of garbage can release harmful gases, and the concentrated ash that results from the process, though smaller than average landfill waste, is toxic and can leak into water supplies. Also, though the recyclables are supposed to be sorted away from the waste, this doesn’t always work for paper, especially if the waste is burned first and only the metal is retrieved after. Indiana is rated among the worst in the nation in air quality, and the chemical melting pot that results from incinerating metals and plastics only adds to the pollution. Caring for the environment should not be an economic issue: if we poison the world we live in, the economy will become a moot point anyway. That being said, the augmentation of incineration isn’t a good extended economic plan. Having curbside paper recycling adds jobs to the Indianapolis area, from people who pick up the recycling to people who work at the recycling plant. It is by

no means a perfect solution: the curbside service charges for their service, which could be difficult for some households. It is, however, a better solution than the Covanta sorting plan, which would result in a smaller percentage of recycled materials than traditional paper recycling. Both these totals are already lower than the newly mandated goal of 50 percent. Not only is this issue a study of environmental concerns. It’s also an issue of transparency. The citizens of Indianapolis should be kept in the loop as the decision-making process continues, but they have not been included from the beginning. Both Covanta and the Department of Public Works have not made all terms of agreement clear to the public. No waste management system is perfect, and no choice between recycling systems will be flawless. However, protecting natural resources without which we couldn’t survive should come before fairly frivolous financial machinations.

After the midterm elections this week, for the first time ever in the United States there will be 100 women in Congress. Didn’t know that? Yeah, I didn’t either. Yet buried underneath articles about Americans’ dissatisfaction with Obama and the GOP takeover of the Senate, CNN published an article entitled “Among midterm winners many historic firsts,” by Jeremy Diamond. Among the firsts Diamond lists are Tim Scott, the first Southern African American elected to the Senate since Reconstruction; Mia Love, the first African American Republican woman ever to be elected to Congress; Gina Raimondo, Rhode Island’s first female governor. And tucked among those names (who, no doubt, are great firsts to have) lies that tiny, one sentence paragraph: “The number of women in Congress will reach 100 for the first time

United States Congress: 100 Women, 97 Years in U.S. history.” I knew the number of women in Congress was too low. Ideally, there should be 267 women, or half of the total number of members, in Congress, just as the United States population is half women. But here’s another number for you: according to the U.S. House of Representatives’ History, Art & Archives website, only 298 women have ever served in Congress. In 1917, the first woman was elected to Congress, Rep Jeannette Rankin of Montana. It has taken 97 years to get just 100 women into Congress. That’s several decades too long. Why aren’t we talking about this? Why, amidst sentiments for or against this new arrangement of Congress, isn’t anyone mentioning the incredibly slow pace of women entering Congress? I don’t pretend to be a political science expert. I don’t know how many women are running versus men and how many votes they receive. But it seems wrong to me that it’s so hard for our country to put this issue in the open. Sexism is alive and well in the U.S. Women still earn roughly 77 cents to a man’s dollar (and to the people out there who say it’s because of their career choices: why do you think women end up in those careers?).

constantly with heightened senses, worried about the stranger walking behind them on the street, worried about losing that Washington D.C. internship to their male peer. We need women (and men) in Congress to change our country’s culture regarding women. Women can never gain equality when they’re denied equal representation in Congress. Nor can they gain equality when no one in the government is willing to speak for them, willing to take their case. I’m not saying I’m unhappy with the 100 women milestone. When women enter Congress, they prove how powerful and strong women can be. They prove that women belong in the ranks just as much as men. What I am unhappy with is our country’s inability to speak about the slow growth of women in political positions as much as we speak about political parties. We need to move this subject from one line in a small article (which should have been bigger anyway) into a category all of its own. We need to give it the attention it deserves. -Sausser is a junior English writing and history double major from Indianapolis. opinions@thedepauw.com

This was not a lost season for DePauw University women’s soccer. Yes, they missed the playoffs. And yes, they finished with a losing record (5-8-2). But this roller coaster ride of a season proved to be just what the Tigers needed. “Though our record doesn’t show it, I think this was the best team in the three years I have been at DePauw,” junior forward and defender Stephanie Martin said. Despite going 1-4 in their first five games and losing senior goalkeeper Emma Cooper to injury, the Tigers managed to keep in the playoff hunt until the last regular-season game, which was in part due to the team’s chemistry. “Team culture improved this year,” said junior goalkeeper Sarah Cho, who took over for Cooper. “The team was closer to each other this year than it has been in past years.” Despite their final record, Head Coach Megan McCormick believes the talent was always there for the team. “I think for much of the season, we were lacking an essential belief in our talent, individually and collectively, and that caused some hesitancy to put everything on the line in matches to compete,” McCormick said. “We found that in our last two or three matches, but unfortunately, it was already too late in some ways.” If the Tigers played the entire season with the confidence they had at the end, their season could have ended with a different record. “When looking back at multiple games, we can honestly say, ‘That’s a game we should have won,” Martin said. The Tigers’ 1-0 loss in overtime to Denison University on Saturday sealed the end of their season summed up the team’s frustration. Even after battling and playing with grit down to the last whistle, it just wasn’t enough. “Trying to win everything at the last minute didn’t really work for us,” Cooper said. “Next year we need to show up at the beginning of the season and play every game like it’s the championship.”

With Cho prepared to be DePauw’s starting goalkeeper and a class of incoming freshman ready to compete for starting minutes, women’s soccer next year could prove to be a team to watch for. “I am excited for the leadership role … I can have on the team next season,” Cho said. “I hope everyone comes to preseason in great shape and ready to win games and make it to the NCAAs.” Next fall, McCormick wants her team to pick up where they left off this season. “With a wholehearted belief in our potential and a willingness to really compete, but starting on day one,” McCormick said. “If we do that, it's realistic to start setting our sights on NCAC regular season and tournament success. Sophomore forward Elizabeth Seewer, who led the team with five goals, shares her coach’s goal. “Hopefully [next season] will just be like hitting the play button instead of the restart button,” Seewer said. Although there are already high hopes for next year, the disappointment from this season still lingers. “As a team we deserved more than what the results played out to be,” Seewer said. “We are losing a very impactful senior class this year, and … they didn’t get the ending of the season they wanted.” Besides Cooper, the Tigers will also graduate defender Ryan Konicek and forward / midfielder Chloe Jacob. “I think I’ll miss the people on the team the most,” she said. “I know it sounds cheesy … but the soccer team was the first group of people I hung out with and got to know when I was a freshman.” Cho and the other juniors planning to return to return next season are ready to take on next season and welcome the incoming freshmen. The team will especially look to get even with Wittenberg University for edging out the Tigers for the fourth seed in this year’s conference tournament. “We can only continue to move forward,” Martin said. “It’s time to get ready for next season.”

Tiger OF THE Week: HAMM HOOPER FOOTBALL

POSITION: DEFENSIVE BACK YEAR: JUNIOR

Just 36 seconds into last Saturday’s 42-13 DePauw University win over the College of Wooster’s Fighting Scots, junior defensive back Hamm Hooper intercepted a pass and took it 27 yards for the game’s opening touchdown. Add to that his four solo tackles that ranked him tied for third on a defense and Hooper is The DePauw’s Tiger of the Week. Hooper has been a key piece for a much improved DePauw defense. Hooper already has three interceptions on the season and is fifth on the team in total tackles. Hooper and the rest of the DePauw defense will have to be on the top of their game as they face a Hiram College team this Saturday that comes in averaging nearly 400 yards of offense per game. The DePauw (TDP): If I’m correct, it looks like you guys are out of contention for an NCAC title. That being said, how confident are the guys that you can get an open bid? Hamm Hooper (HH): I’m not sure any of us know how the open bid process works, but I think with two losses the odds of making it are pretty slim. We’ve moved past that though and are just focusing on finishing out our season in the best possible way we can by winning these final two games. TDP: With two games left to play, the defense already has forced the same amount of turnovers they did all of last year and you guys have shaved 10 points off your average points allowed. What has contributed to that dramatic shift? HH: I think the defense is more comfortable with Coach Hood’s defensive scheme, which has allowed us to play much faster than last year. Also, I think the Wittenberg game early in the year gave us a lot of confidence because while the score might not show it, the defense actually played pretty well, and a lot of their points were a result of turnovers. Competing with the best team in our conference from last year gave us a boost of confidence, and we’ve been able to build off that each week.

TDP: How does the coaching staff keep you guys focused on Hiram with the bell game looming just a week away? HH: Each week, our coaches tell us that the upcoming game is the biggest game of the season because it’s the next one, and nothing is different this week. Honestly, I don’t think anybody inside the football program is looking ahead to next week. We’ve had two really good complete games since we lost to Ohio Wesleyan, and we’re just excited to get another chance to keep this momentum and confidence rolling on Saturday. TDP: As a defensive back, have you noticed referees calling more borderline pass interference calls with the new, stricter rules? HH: I think the secondary has only had one pass interference call all year and that was a suspect call against Paul [Simon] against Wittenberg. I’ve noticed that our offense is able draw more pass interference calls, but I’m not sure if the refs are calling it stricter this year.

Denison upsets DePauw, knocks Tigers out of hunt for NCAC championship BY ABBY MARGULIS sports@thedepauw.com

Tears streamed down the DePauw’s field hockey teams faces as the final buzzer sounded on Wednesday afternoon ending their first North Coast Athletic Conference tournament game and hopes of obtaining their third-straight NCAC title win. Denison University’s Big Red stepped onto the field at Reavis Stadium with vengeance after losing two previous games to DePauw earlier in the season (2-0, 4-0). Putting away two goals to secure their win Denison will move on to the second round of the NCAC tournament tomorrow against Kenyon College. Scoring within the first 10 minutes, Denison scooted the ball into the back of the goal from the right baseline forcing DePauw to trail behind. The Tigers fought back but were limited to the middle of the field as the Big Red stepped up their defense intercepting passes and crowding the Tigers. “They came out really strong,” head coach Gina Preston said immediately after the game. “They had a game plan where they were sticking people behind the ball. They tried to cut off our passing game. We couldn’t get a lot of offense going. It was a lot of back and forth.” Going into half time the Tigers were scoreless and Denison was up 1-0. Returning to the field for the last 35 minutes of play DePauw increased their offensive pressure and made adjustments. “In the second half we were able to take the ball and make an adjustment, which generated more corners and opportunities,” Preston said. Every woman on the field playing her hardest until the final buzzer and pushed through to get to the16-yard circle to make a goal happen. With a final count of 15 shots on goal, DePauw increased it

offensively but were unable to make it click to get the goal they wanted. Senior Paige Henry led shots on goals with eight attempts. Following with two shots on goal apiece were first-year Addie Ball and senior Maggie Campbell. In the last seven minutes of the game the team pulled first-year goalie Sarah Guendert out to add another attacker to help the Tigers achieve the win. However, Denison’s defense wasn’t letting the ball in.

Denison made the final score 2-0 in the last two seconds of the match when they were rewarded with a penalty stroke. Disappointment struck each player on the team as they’re season ended at 4:30 p.m. “That was not the way we wanted to end conference play and potentially our season,” junior Grace Goodbarn said. Despite Denison ending the Tiger’s season the team finished the season with an overall record of 16-3 and a conference record of 12-2.

“We made some great progress through out the season and though this lose was disappointing I don't believe it was a true reflection of how skilled and bonded our team was overall this year,” Goodbarn said. “I’m proud of the team,” Preston said. “They played really hard during the second half to come back and create those opportunities. They never gave up.”

Coming off a 42-13 win against The College of Wooster which clinched their first winning season since 2010 the DePauw Tigers will take on the Hiram College Terriers tomorrow at Blackstock Stadium. The Terriers lost to Wabash College, the Tiger’s next target, 41-10 last weekend. “We’ve had a solid week of practice,” sophomore quarterback Matt Hunt said. “With this team, when we have a good week of practice with a lot of energy, it tends to carry over to Saturday.” The game should be a good match-up—even though Hiram has a losing record in NCAC conference (3-4) they defeated Ohio Wesleyan, who topped DePauw over fall break 23-16. “We cannot look past anyone in this conference,” junior Tyler Leising said. The Tigers also have a couple of impressive

games under their belt however, coming off a couple of road wins their heads are up and their attitudes are confident. “We feel great going into this game,” sophomore defensive back Cody Baker said. “This week we have just been doing what we do every week.” The Tiger’s goal for this week is getting their seventh win of the season. “Coach Lynch and his staff put together a game plan each week and practice is spent making sure we are able to execute it as best as we can,” senior tight end J.D. Robinson said. “We know Hiram is a good football team, but as long as we are able to be sound in our assignments and execute the game plan, we will give ourselves a good opportunity to win the game.” For practice this week, Lynch hasn’t implemented anything special. “We have a routine each week that prepares us for the team on the schedule that week,”Leising said, “and we have to stick to that plan to be suc-

cessful.” There are many reasons the Tigers are hungry for a win this weekend — one being the fact that it’s the seniors last home game. “Like any weekend we are trying to win, but with this weekend being the seniors last home game, it gives the team something to compete for and a win will mean that much more,” said junior running back Amen Galley, who broke 1,000 career yards last week versus Wooster. “We plan on attacking Hiram as a whole. They are a fast, physical team but so are we. We need to make them match our intensity, not the other way around.” The defense is aware of Hiram’s speed, but say that they do not hold on to the ball well — they have 56 turnovers this season. “We plan on playing the same sound defense we have played all year and when they make a mistake we are going to capitalize,” Baker said. “If we eliminate the big plays from their speedy receivers on the perimeter we will be in good shape.”

A big key for DePauw as well is limiting turnovers, which has killed them in their two losses this season. “We have to keep limiting turnovers on offense like we have the past few weeks so we can come away with a win,” Leising said. Another key is keeping Hiram’s fast offense off the field and giving the DePauw defense a chance to catch their breath. “We know as long as we are able to execute our base offense and control the ball while our defense keeps them off the field we will be in a good position to win,” Robinson said. Tomorrow will be an emotional day for all of DePauw’s seniors, as it is the last home game of the season. “I know it would be very special to all of the seniors to get one more win at home in our last game at Blackstock Stadium,” Robinson said. Kickoff between the Tigers and Terriers is scheduled for 1 p.m. out at Blackstock Stadium.

For second straight year, men's soccer season ends at hands of OWU BY JACOB LYNN sports@thedepauw.com

It was a bad omen for the Tigers (10-8-1, 5-3-1) when their team bus struck and killed a deer as they made the nearly four hour journey to Ohio Wesleyan University (15-3-2, 8-0-1) for the first round of the North Coast Athletic Conference tournament. The following day, the Tigers season died as well, as DePauw fell to the Battling Bishops 3-2 on a cold evening at Ohio Wesleyan’s Jay Martin Soccer Complex. “No chance for an at large [bid],” DePauw head coach Brad Hauter said. “This was our final game.” The Battling Bishops’ Matt Cohen opened the scoring just 90 seconds in to give Ohio Wesleyan the early lead. Adding to the theme of death and injuries was DePauw goalkeeper Jake Pezzuto who suffered an injury and was unable to return. “I turned in an awkward way in the air trying to reach the ball,” Pezzuto said. “As I came down, I landed very hard on my upper leg, the force shot down through and my lower leg kicked out, and I

hyperextended my knee very badly.” In his place came junior Chris Yount who had played over 1,000 minutes less than Pezzuto this year. “It was unfortunate for Jake because it was his last game at DePauw,” said sophomore Mitch Tabler, who also played his last game for the Tigers. “I know I and the team have 100% confidence in Chris and his performance was outstanding.” Yount faced four shots before senior Andy Morrison tied the game just over 17 minutes after the game’s opening goal on a cross from sophomore Julian Gonzalez. With Morrison’s goal, the forward closes out his career at DePauw with 41 goals, a mark good enough to place him third on the school’s all-time scoring list just eight goals behind J.R. Foster for the overall record. The tie was quickly broken, however, as Colton Bloecher put the Battling Bishops right back on top, scoring only three minutes after Morrison’s tally. “We had just survived a very emotionally damaging goal by getting scored on in the 2nd minute,” Hauter said. “Responding as we did and then giving

up another so soon is tough but I felt our guys managed the emotion well.” Things would only get worse for the Tigers as the Battling Bishops notched an insurance marker in the 76th minute of the second half off the foot of Evan Lee. The Tigers then faced an uphill battle to keep their season alive. Trailing by two goals with 15 minutes left, DePauw needed a win to continue on to the NCAC championship game and stave off the offseason. Not wanting the season to end, junior Mitch Reavis, Reavis Stadium’s namesake, cut the Ohio Wesleyan lead to one with just under nine minutes left in regulation. “When their third goal went in, we came together and decided we had two options: give up, or man up,” Reavis said. “We chose to leave it all on the field giving them a scare with the second goal and pressing for a third until the final whistle. That’s all you can ask for out of your team.” “Loved our response down 3-1,” Hauter said. “We pushed another player high and played the last 15 minutes with only two backs. We created a lot of

chances and got it to 2-3.” Despite creating a few late opportunities after the Reavis goal, the Tigers ended up falling by a final score of 3-2. “Loved the way our guys fought,” Hauter said. “Plenty of chances to give up and they fought the whole time.” This makes two straight down seasons for a historically successful DePauw soccer program. This marks back to back seasons that the Tigers have failed to reach the NCAA tournament. It’s the second straight year that the Battling Bishops have eliminated the Tigers in the first round of the NCAA tournament as well. The loss also marked to straight winless seasons against the rival Battling Bishops despite four meetings during that span. Now it’s on to the offseason, where the Tigers will have to find a way to improve despite losing six seniors. With eight losses on the season, there’s no point in Hauter extending practices up to the NCAA selection show. “No more training; we are done,” Hauter said. “[End of season] banquet, player meetings, then onto 2015.”
