Vernon Jordan speaks at President Mark McCoy’s inauguration as DePauw University’s 20th President in 2016.

Vernon Jordan ’57 named 2018 commencement speaker

BY MADISON DUDLEY Editor-in-Chief news@thedepauw.com

Civil rights activist and DePauw University alumnus, Vernon Jordan Jr. ‘57, will speak at the DePauw 20172018 commencement ceremony.

Jordan is a senior managing director of Lazard Frères & Co. LLC (NYSE: LAZ), and is senior counsel with the Washington, D.C.-based law firm of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP. He is a long time advisor to former President Bill Clinton, former president of the National Urban League, and former executive director of the United Negro College Fund. On May 29, 1980 Jordan was shot in an assassination attempt. This would be the first story ever covered by CNN. Recently, Jordan received the Harvard Law School Center on the Legal Professions Award for Global Leader-

ship. Jordan also appeared on author Malcolm Gladwell’s podcast, Revisionist History, where he talked about court cases he worked on in the Jim Crow south during the early 1960s.

“I cannot imagine a better commencement speaker than Vernon Jordan,” said DePauw President Mark McCoy. “I am thrilled that he agreed to do this.”

Jordan spoke at President McCoy’s inauguration as DePauw’s 20th president in 2016. Jordan had formally retired from public speaking several years ago but told President McCoy he would make an exception for DePauw, both for President McCoy’s inauguration and again for the commencement for the class of 2018.

President McCoy credits DePauw Student Government President, senior Erika Killion, and Vice President, senior Armaan Patel. At the end of last

semester, Killion and Patel asked DePauw seniors on social media who they wanted to speak at commencement, and student government ranked the responses and showed them to President McCoy, with Jordan at the top of the list.

“He has a personal connection to DePauw and just an incredibly moving life story,” Killion said. “This might be one of the last chances we’d have to hear him speak at DePauw.”

This will be Jordan’s third commencement speech at DePauw. Past speakers include talk show host Tavis Smiley, former Brown University President, Ruth J. Simmons, and actor Kal Penn.

“He’ll give you a speech you will not forget,” President McCoy said of Jordan.

The class of 2018’s commencement will take place on May 20.

LGBTQIA+ HISTORY MONTH Oct. 1 - Oct. 31 is recognized as LGBTQIA+ History Month. Matthew Abtahi, assistant director for the center of diversity and inclusion, in conjunction with Peace Camp, Queer Students of Color, United DePauw, and other affiliated groups have created programs to educate and engage the DePauw University student body whilst honoring the LGBTQIA+ community.

Abtahi said he hopes to celebrate the identities of LGBTQIA+ members on campus and for all students to take time to reflect on how all of our histories have had queer folks in it. Descriptions provided by Matthew Abtahi.

10/4 A Discussion on Toxic Masculinity Toxic masculinity and patriarchy in general shows up in the LGBTQIA+ community regardless of gender expression, but particularly for the men in our LGBTQIA+ space. We can still be perpetrators of toxic masculinity and our hope is that students can find meaning and reason in that conversation.

10/4, 10/11, & 10/25 Queer Crafting Series There is usually calming music, fruits and vegetables, and a different craft every week. It is open to all students regardless of gender identity and sexual orientation. It is a space that we are definitively claiming where queer folks can be and openly talk about the complexities of their awesome lives.

10/4 Not My Paradise It is a conversation about how systemic marginalization of the LGBTQIA+ community shows up in primarily in the Caribbean. Food will be provided and students have done a good job picking various pieces and media for people to examine.

10/5 What is love?

It is important that every DePauw student understands that they deserve love regardless of the identities that they hold. We want our LGBTQIA+ community to not only find meaning and reason in that but also to start to articulate what they want out of their love. Our hope is that this separate space will provide them a moment of reflection around how does love manifest in one’s life and how they hope to see it manifest in their own lives.

10/6 Dinner and Chat: Gender and Sexuality Around the World This is specifically for international students and it is going to be a dinner and conversation about how gender and sexuality has shown up in our international students’ experiences. It is a moment of reflection to think about the ways in which they may have been socialized to think about gender and sexuality.

10/6, 10/13, & 10/27 Queer Friday Flick We are looking to do movies where the main narrative or the main characters centers around queerness in some way. Queerness as an ideology and a theory or actually queer characters. We welcome anyone to come.

10/8 Queer Brunch We decided to bring back Queer Brunch and it will happen on the second Sunday of every month for the rest of the academic year. Each brunch will be a space of conversation around our queerness. It is free breakfast and good conversation.

10/11 National Coming Out Day **10/11 Coming Out Monologues

Co-hosted by United DePauw and the Queer Students of Color. This is supposed to serve as a space of liberation and reclaiming one’s story and sharing one’s story with others.

Peace Camp Week prompts discussion on social issues

BY ALAINA STELLWAGEN Staff Writer news@thedepauw.com

The sun began to set, and while the rest of campus was settling down after a long day of classes, a group of students sat in an intimate circle in the academic quad. This was the scene of Monday evening’s discussion, “Let’s talk about sex.”

This discussion is part of a week long event hosted by The Compton Center for Peace and Justice, which will facilitate discussions about issues centered around consent and the ‘gray area’ often associated with it. Students shared their opinions openly and freely as student leaders guided the conversation.

With the array of colorful banners and tents, Peace Camp is hard to miss. Located in the Academic Quad, Peace Camp is a series of events held from Oct. 2 through Oct. 6.

The purpose of the camp, according to junior Barbara Castellini, is to start dialogue on campus.

“I know we hear that word [‘dialogue’] a lot, but one of my biggest goals is to educate DePauw students, learn from them, teach people something, and just get conversation about social justice going,” Castellini said.

Castellini, a second-year intern with the Compton Center, is one of many interns who works the camp. The Compton Center, established in 2000, is stationed in the Hartman House. Some Compton Center interns camp overnight in the tents to add an element of fun to their Peace Camp experience. They also host a series of discussions and workshops about various topics which are impor-

tant to them, such as colorism in interracial relationships, changes to Title IX, Trauma and Academic Resilience.

Katie Wade, a sophomore and first-year Compton Center intern, shares Castellini’s goal of education. “For me, I consider sex ed really important. A lot of kids go to college without a thorough understanding of what sexual education and consent are. For us, one of the best ways to make change is to educate.”

to them and to bring those issues to the campus body. That’s why you see a variety of topics ranging from inner reflection to Title IX to race relations on campus; all the get people exposed to new ideas,” Cummings said.

The slogan of the Compton Center for Peace and Justice, according to Cummings, is “passion, purpose, and action.” Peace Camp is one of the center’s tools to act on their motto. “While we want to spark dialogue, the ultimate goal is

A student writes on the Peace Camp reflection wall.

An annual event since the late 1900s, Peace Camp has continued to be a tradition on DePauw’s campus. With numerous daily events on a variety of topics, Peace Camp provides an open space for the discussion of social issues.

Matt Cummings, the director of the Compton Center, thinks Peace Camp is a great place for student discussion. “This is a space for students to talk about social and justice issues that are important

to inspire people to action,” Castellini said.

Peace Camp events and workshops will be occurring multiple times each day until the end of the week. A printed schedule of events is placed variously throughout campus, specifically in dorms and Hoover Dining Hall. Chalk messages also serve as guides to the academic quad and encourage students and faculty to attend.

an idea and asking if it could work in another place. “It worked because it worked organically,” Ma said.

On Friday, Ma met with School of Music students, both in the Green Center for Performing Arts and performing in Stewart Plaza during the annual farm dinner. Ma worked with music students and sat in on practices. Ma said his passion of working with students comes from an internal drive to keep himself young.

“I’m 61 years old; so students here are 40 years younger than me,” Ma said, ”and for me what keeps a person young is when you engage the minds of young people and figure out what they think about, what their concerns are, and that to me is the best kind of engagement.”

Another reason Ma said he enjoys working with students comes from his belief about the moments in life where people discover something for the first time and how those memories impact people for the rest of their lives.

Faculty updated on sexual violence numbers for 2017 school year

BY BRYTTNI CARPENTER Co-News Editor news@thedepauw.com

Six cases have been given to Sexual Assault Survivor Advocates (SASA) since the beginning of the 2017-2018 school year, according to Wendy Wippich, director of sexual assault education and prevention program, and Sarah Ryan, the Women’s Center director. Faculty learned about this number in a presentation at the October faculty meeting on Monday.

The faculty was also given advance notice for a vote that will occur at the November faculty meeting.

They will vote on approving a museum studies minor and other committee changes. Rebecca Schindler, professor of classical studies, talked about changes being made to the first-year seminar set-up. Mariel Wilderson, director of communications, gave a preview of the new DePauw

University website.

Wippich and Ryan gave a presentation to faculty about sexual assault and how they can help as members of the campus community. Their presentation included information about current resources on campus such as SASA, Title IX, the Green Dot program and more.

The presentation also gave an overview of statistics of “power based violence” based on the 2016 calendar year. Power-based violence is a form of violence where one party asserts their power in order to harm another, this includes; sexual assault, rape, stalking, intimidation, and other forms of harassment. This information was sent to the campus community by Angie Nally, director of Public Safety, in an email on Sept. 29.

Wippich and Ryan said they saw a trend of students looking for resources on campus more than instigating

an investigation during the 20162017 school year. Both women said the 2017 school year has started with six cases being brought to SASA. This compares to last year when only one case was brought to SASA. Ryan said the rising trend of cases being brought to SASA is similar to the rising trend of hospitalizations due to overconsumption of alcohol.

Ryan also mentioned that alcohol has been involved in every case brought to SASA in either one or all parties involved.

The presentation wrapped up with tips on how faculty can be advocates for consent culture in the classroom.

The faculty was given notice of a motion to vote on a museum studies minor. The minor was proposed through the art and art history department. According to the agenda handed out at the meeting, the purpose is to “prepare liberal arts students to

work in entry-level positions in art museums and other cultural institutions, or to enter graduate programs aimed at preparing them for careers in museum and cultural management.”

The agenda also states the minor will not require additional staffing. The art department said in their proposal that they desire the next full-time art history member to have expertise in the field. The department also conducted research and surveys to gather student opinions. 57 students responded to the survey, which was administered in the fall of 2016.

63 percent said they would be likely to declare a museum studies minor and 40 percent said they would be likely to pursue graduate studies in art administration. The students surveyed were enrolled in art history and studio art classes.

DePauw President Mark McCoy

ended his address to the faculty with Wilderson’s unveiling of the new University website pages to faculty members. He said the web pages that prospective students are more likely to look at will be rolled out first. The faculty was shown a new homepage, profile page and majors and minors page.

President McCoy said the new website will be rolled out soon, but he did not give a specific date. He also said the redesign inspiration came from the results of the Bartlett Research done in the spring 2017 semester. Last semester Bartlett conducted various focus groups and surveys aimed at finding DePauw’s identity. The new website will be an assemblage of what the research found.

The next faculty meeting will be on Nov. 6 at 4 p.m. in the conference room in the Student Union.

Panhellenic Association will vote to implement new bylaw

Proposed bylaw would implement two-strike system

BY BRYTTNI CARPENTER Co-News Editor news@thedepauw.com

A Panhellenic Association proposal would hold first-year women accountable for violating the prohibition against visiting Greek property before the established date in the fall semester. The proposal, to be voted on Wednesday, would implement a “two-strike” policy.

Senior KJ Holden, vice president of recruitment for Panhellenic, said many people approached them at the beginning of the semester about first-year women being on Greek property before the Oct. 7 opening date. “There was no punishment for [going on Greek property] but there was always this thing of ‘you shouldn’t

go on it’,” Holden said.

Nick Stepaniak, Panhellenic Association advisor, said the proposed bylaw conversation started as students pointed out the inequalities after reading stories in The DePauw. “The rule has always been in place, but the part that we’re voting on is about holding first-year women accountable,” Stepaniak said.

The bylaw change mirrors the Interfraternity Council (IFC) strike system already in place.

Stepaniak said IFC follows a three strike system. The first strike is a formal warning written in a letter.

The second time a first-year male is seen on Greek property, a meeting is held with the vice president of IFC recruitment and the IFC advisor. If a first-year male is found a third time on Greek property, they

are not allowed to go through formal recruitment.

Holden said the rule will help make IFC and Panhellenic equal and fair to each other in terms of punishment for doing the same thing. The DePauw reached out to IFC President, Nathaniel Reed in an email. Reed wrote back saying, “IFC will not be commenting on this because it is not our policy.”

According to Holden, if passed, the bylaw would only be in effect for the period of time when firstyear women are restricted from privately owned fraternity or sorority property. Holden also said Panhellenic members will not be specifically looking for first-year women who break the rule. “If someone anonymously sends Panhellenic or an upper authority a photo and we can see they’re in a

specific chapter, then we can find out who it is and send them the first warning,” Holden said.

The proposed Panhellenic bylaw change is a two strike system.

The first time a first-year woman is seen on Greek property they will meet with the vice president of recruitment of Panhellenic and receive a formal letter. The second time a first-year woman is caught, they will not be allowed to go through formal recruitment in the spring of their first year.

Holden said students who would not be allowed to go through recruitment after violating the Greek property rule, would be allowed to receive continuous open bids, starting the fall of their sophomore year. Students who do not go through formal recruitment do not sign a Membership

Recruitment Acceptance Binding Agreement, MRABA, so they are eligible for open bids chapters might have in the succeeding fall semester.

Stepaniak said the main goal for the bylaw is to hold first-year women accountable for their actions. He also said Panhellenic wants to get away from the idea of “blacklisting.” Blacklisting is the idea of one chapter creating a list of girls they do not want in their chapter. Stepaniak wants focus on not being able to go through the process as a whole. “We want it to be that, it’s not that you’re banned from a specific chapter,” said Stepaniak, “it’s that you can’t go through the recruitment process your first year here.”

PRESENTED BY DEPAUW THEATRE AND THE SCHOOL OF MUSIC Presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI)

THE NEW MEL BROOKS MUSICAL

Wailin’ at Pygmalion

BY JERICA BEAN Guest Columnist features@thedepauw.com

Hello, hello! On Sept. 23, I had the privilege of being part of the press for the final day of The Pygmalion Festival in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois.

You can’t find a better music festival closer than two hours from Greencastle, especially one with this much to offer. I’ll be giving you three of The Pygmalion Festival’s elements: the food, the music, and The Made Fest. This festival is perfect for a money-strapped college student.

Admission to the food festival, The Made Fest, and even one of the four music stages is free. The food and adult drink options are almost all $4 or $5, and with nine different eateries, even vegetarians (like me!) can find something to eat.

The food fest and The Made Fest were mega-cool, but now I’m gonna talk about what I really went for: the music. Since I was only able to attend the last day of the festival, I saw four artists and was not disappointed. The previous days of Pygmalion hosted WGRE favorites like Thundercat and Animal Collective, but on that hot September Saturday, I got to experience Flint Eastwood, Palehound, Noname, and Superduperkyle.

One of the many things I loved about this festival was the size; it’s smaller than the average Lolla or SXSW, so with some effort, I was able to grip the front barricades for many of the concerts. That night was my first time ever hearing Flint Eastwood, and I was in awe of her power and aggression. The first performance of the night always draws in

a lackluster crowd, but she made sure to pick out individuals in the crowd that could sing and dance along to her energetic performance.

After that, I ran to 51 Main get a good spot for Palehound, one of my favorite bands. The dim lighting of this venue effortlessly amped up the mood produced by singer Ellen Kempner’s gravelly vocals and passionate lyrics. The bandmates’ banter between tunes was consistently funny and insightful to their music. Can I also say that I am in love with every single member of this band?

Up next was Noname on the Main Stage. Her performances are always full of joy, despite the somber subjects of some of her tracks. The poetry in her music shines in live renditions. She was vocal with the crowd, with some audience members screaming that Noname was the only reason they attended the festival.

This performance made me eager to see what’s coming next from the Chicago artist.

We all know “iSpy” by KYLE (aka Superduperkyle); it’s been impossible to avoid a frat party blaring the tune for months. KYLE closed out the festival with a set turned up to the max with choreography and all-out fun. The crowd was going absolutely wild over this performance, flailing their bodies all over the place. KYLE shared the stage with Superduperbrick, who ran the DJ set-up. The entire festival was closed with a performance of “iSpy,” some nice words, and the playing of John Cena’s theme song. I drove back to DePauw exhausted but full of smiles after a successful day at The Pygmalion Festival.

Farm to fountains: Campus farm hosts dinner in Stewart Plaza

BY ELIZABETH COTTINGHAM Staff Writer features@thedepauw.com

With a potato station dubbed as “Yum” by acclaimed cellist Yo-Yo Ma, the annual Campus Farm Dinner held Sept. 29 in Stewart Plaza proved to be more than a pop-up concert and opportunity to eat good food.

Ma did a pop-up concert with the School of Music’s Orchestra which drew a decent-sized crowd to the plaza before Campus Farm’s dinner. Students, staff, faculty and guests crowded around the performers as soon as the orchestra started playing.

Sophomore Amelia Smerz had the opportunity to play alongside Ma at the pop-up concert. “He was so inspiring, energetic, and excited to work with [the students],” said Smerz. “I was impressed with his focus on musicianship and rethinking the role of a performer as an avenue for connecting with an audience.”

Onlookers stopped by for the concert, and many stayed for the food. After Ma’s performance with the SoM students, seniors Thomas Ring and Spencer Schillerstrom stayed to play jazz music while guests dined on the warm Campus Farm cuisine.

This year’s dinner was cosponsored by the Environmental Fellows Program, the Office of Sustainability, and the Prindle Institute for Ethics.

Each table set in Stewart Plaza included an ethical questions asking about the importance of where our food comes and what is right with our foods system, as well as trivia questions about the campus farm.

According to sophomore Anna Stehlik, a project manager for the farm, the dinner “helps to raise awareness about the farm,

teach students about sustainable agriculture, and promote local eating.”

Around the Plaza, stations serving potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, kale, collard greens and dessert, all grown in the local campus farm, were served up to those who chose to stop by. All of the produce was an in-season crop grown at the Campus Farm, which can be found next to the entrance to the Prindle Institute for Ethics. One table featured two

different options for spaghetti squash and another hosted multiple salad and green options.

The dessert station surprised some guests; many seemed offput by the idea of making a chocolate cake with zucchini. But by the end of the night, the plate had been wiped clean.

Malorie Imhoff, sustainability coordinator and Campus Farm manager, and Anthony Baratta, DePauw’s sustainability director, put together the dinner along with

the help of the whole Campus Farm. The team worked together with local producers to supply the rest of the food, and Bon Appetit helped put the whole dinner together.

The goal of the dinner was “to see people at DePauw learning a little bit more about where their food comes from,” said Imhoff.

They aimed to start “conversation around campus [on] what we can do about our food system.”

Much of DePauw’s food

comes from the Campus Farm and local producers. “A lot of campus farm food also goes to Bon Appetit on a regular basis, so whenever you’re eating in Hoover Hall, you’ll be eating a lot of Campus Farm food also,” Stehlik said.

Next year, the farm will transition to a new, larger site. Students interested in volunteering on the farm or joining the Sustainability Leadership Program should contact the Imhoff or Baratta.

Saucy wordplay, monsters, and comedy oh my!

BY MIGUEL SUAREZ Co-Features Editor features@thedepauw.com

If the original “Frankenstein” was too scary for you, fear not.

“Young Frankenstein” has all the best parts of Mary Shelley’s work, but with more laughs and dirty jokes.

You can catch the DePauw Theater and School of Music’s musical rendition of “Young Frankenstein” this Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

“Young Frankenstein” follows a professor, Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, who has recently learned that he inherited his grandfather’s estate in Transylvania. Frankenstein attempts and succeeds in recreating his grandfather’s experiments with the help of his grandfather’s former servants.

After the success of creating his own monster, he begins to lose his mind and starts to struggle internally; a struggle that resembles that of

Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde. This inner conflict also begins to stir up trouble with his fiance, Elizabeth.

Director Steven Timm, professor of communications and theatre, chose “Young Frankenstein” because he believes it has a wellbalanced narrative. “I was a fan of the original movie and other Mel Brooks films,” Timm said. “I think they’re funny, but have a critical component.”

But the late actor Gene Wilder also played a large role in the decision making process. “When Gene Wilder died, I was sitting thinking about his contribution to film. We get to the point where we get to select a season and it seemed like a good choice,” said Timm. “It’s sort of a tribute to him.”

Senior Marin Tack, who plays Frau Blucher, was drawn to the musical’s comedic aspect and Timm’s directing skills. “No matter what role I get I’m going to have a great time because it’s so much

fun,” Tack said. “And I also really wanted to do it because I know Steve Timm’s shows tend to be really good and they wow people.”

The unconventional form of the musical has made the experience more enjoyable for Tack. “I particularly love that I get to play this role because it’s unlike any other role that I’ve done,” Tack said. “I just get to be this crazy old lady and it’s so over the top.”

Junior, David Mather was on board for more personal reasons.

“I’m a big fan of musical theatre, so this is kind of one of my passions,” Mather said. He appreciates the opportunity to “model his idol” by playing the same character as Gene Wilder. “He was always someone I looked up to and actually getting the chance to do this role is something kinda special to me,” Mather said.

Audiences unfamiliar with musical theatre can also look forward to the show. “There are some awe-

some special effects, so if people don’t like musicals or don’t like anything to do with theater, they can come check out the special effects,” said Mather.

For Mather, this musical differs from his other projects because of its saucy wordplay. “I’d say this show is probably the raunchiest

I’ve done,” Mather said. “There’s a lot of innuendo to this one and double meaning, so that’s something to look out for.”

If you want to experience some of this talent, the cast will be performing in Moore Theater Oct. 5-7 at 7:30 p.m. and Oct. 8 at 1 p.m.

FEATURES Pens to Pictures: Alumni Chinonye Chukwu ‘07 to screen her ‘5 Films by 5 Women’ short film series

BY LINDSEY JONES Guest Columnist features@thedepauw.com

Empowering disenfranchised voices and humanizing incarcerated women was Chinonye Chukwu’s main goal for her film project: Pens to Pictures.

As a part of the Film Studies semester film series, DePauw University alumnus, filmmaker and professor Chinonye Chukwu ‘07 will screen “5 Films by 5 Women” in the Peeler Auditorium.

Seth Friedman, director of Film Studies, and Christine White, professor of English, brought Pens to Pictures to DePauw, showing students future possibilities in filmmaking from a DePauw alumnus herself.

“People often, because of Hollywood cinema, don’t often realize the ways in which films can make productive contributions to society, culture, and local communities,” said Friedman. “I think this provides a unique opportunity to bring all those things together...where we can discuss with the filmmakers directly.”

The film is a compilation of five narratives, all written and co-directed by women incarcerated in the Dayton Correctional Institution (DCI) in Dayton, Ohio entitled “Bang, ” “Love or Loyalty,” “Trans-Parent,” “The Devastating Game,” and “For They Know Not.” The film is the first in Chukwu’s Pens to Pictures collaborative group, formed to empower incarcerated women from script to screen and create a spotlight for their narratives.

Chukwu’s interest in American prison systems began after Sept. 21, 2001, when a black man, Troy Davis, was executed in a Georgia state prison.

“That was the first moment I consciously became involved in the American prison system, about the death penalty… and the larger im-

plications of his case,” said Chukwu.

“I really started pursuing knowledge about the American prison system and [that] led to the writing of my future script for ‘Clemency’.”

While researching for her upcoming feature film, Chukwu listened to dozens of people directly connected to the prison system and felt those narratives needed to be heard.

“I quickly realized that most of their stories would never leave the prison walls,” said Chukwu. “For years I’d been teaching at the collegiate level…but my teaching shouldn’t be limited to the privileged walls of collegiate classrooms.”

Subsequently, she started teaching a screenwriting course at DCI, and created the intensive screenwriting and production project with the women enrolled.

In the inaugural Pens to Pictures class in March 2016, five women’s original screenplays were chosen and workshopped for eight weeks.

Each woman was paired with student co-directors and a crew to support the production, but Chukwu said that “all creative decisions were made by them.”

The entire production and postproduction process took a little under a year, and the first Pens to Pictures project screened across the country at various universities, conventions, prisons, festivals and other community spaces.

As the Pens to Pictures collaborative group moves into their next class of filmmakers, Chukwu hopes to expand to more states to offer this opportunity to both women in correctional facilities and undergraduate students.

“One of the many things that made this experience so powerful is that it is directly linked to education facilities,” said Chukwu. “It really does enhance the curriculum and the work because it empowers students to root their learning in purpose and practice.”

After coming back to DePauw this week, Chukwu reflected on her time as an undergraduate at DePauw and how some of her professors, like White and Samuel Autman, assistant professor of English, had a profound impact on her pursuit of filmmaking.

“Chris White … was the only film production professor I had who taught me screenwriting, and she really introduced me to the structure of screenwriting,” said Chukwu. “Samuel Autman was my professor as an 18 year old… and that was the last time I saw Samuel for a decade.”

Autman and Chukwu reconnected when Chukwu came back to DePauw to screen her first feature film “AlaskaLand,” and they began their creative collaboration and longtime friendship. Chukwu adapted one of Autman’s memoirs into her short film “A Long Walk.”

“I have watched her grow from student to professor… I think the thing that I’ve seen in her is the importance of doing a discipline that you really love, and she loves screenwriting,” said Autman. “That’s a good lesson for students.”

Chukwu and Autman both note the uniqueness of close friendships that can happen on a small campus like DePauw. “Samuel continues to be an integral part of my life,” said Chukwu. “He taught me how to teach with a purpose..how to be an effective educator...and pushed me to be a better storyteller.”

Like her professors, Chukwu, as an educator and an advocate, hopes to encourage her students, both collegiate and non, to pursue storytelling.

“The Pens to Pictures experience really does remind students that they are a part of a community and that we’re all in this together,” said Chukwu.

Students can watch “5 Films by 5 Women” on Oct. 4 at 7 p.m. in the Peeler auditorium, followed by a Q&A with Chukwu.

I tried Acroyoga, had fun, and learned about myself

BY EMMA MAZUREK Managing Editor features@thedepauw.com

I love yoga, so when someone told me that I could go to an Acroyoga class, I was immediately on board even though I had no idea what it would entail. I had this image in my mind that it was going to be one of those things where people hung from ribbons on the ceiling and twisted themselves around.

So when I arrived at the small farmhouse where the Serenity Yoga studio was and Marla Helton, owner of the studio and yoga instructor, asked us all to grab workout balls instead of ribbons to hang from the ceiling, I was confused.

Helton told us to sit on the balls in order to get used to balancing with them. Then we were instructed to make a circle, put our hands on the knees of those sitting around us, and introduce ourselves to the class. I was and am accustomed to workout classes where you walk in with your head down, go about your workout, and never talk to the other participants; so needless to say, I was a little uncomfortable.

When it came to me, I said my name, but I guess I mumbled it and people heard Admiral instead of Emma.

So my new nickname for that class, and hopefully forever, was Admiral.

After a few plank-type exercises using the ball to warm up our core, the instructors informed us a bit about what acroyoga was going to be like. There are three different positions in acroyoga: base, flyer and spotter. I stood there looking around, adjusting my shirt, and fidgeting nervously. The mere thought of being lifted off the ground by people I barely knew was terrifying, and the thought of lifting them or being responsible for falls made my face hot.

The instructors demonstrated the exercises in groups of three, the purpose of the base always lifting the flyer with their legs and the spotter, making sure everyone was safe. Then, they made us split into groups and see what we could do. I just watched the first session, while two girls in my group lifted each other up rather quickly. Before I had even done work, I was sweating in anticipation.

Then it was my turn. “I’ll be the base,” I said quickly. I was not ready to be lifted up just yet, so I figured it might be better to begin on the ground.

My flyer stood in front of me, placed my feet on her hips, and then slowly began leaning into me. The first time we basically stopped because we were giggling. Neither of us had any idea of what this was supposed to feel like, so the whole thing was strange. But the second time, after we got our breath back from laughing, it was easier to lift her. I found that as long as I just pushed up with my legs and core, I would be okay and she wouldn’t fall.

I realized that I was a lot stronger than I initially thought. I also found that I liked being in the position where I felt I had more control, which is what gave me so much trouble being a flyer. It took me three times to even get up on someone just because I was so afraid of giving myself over to someone else. But after I did, the whole class became easier.

I could lift and be a better base because I knew what it was like to fly. And when I spotted, I knew what to look for to see if people were uncomfortable.

By the end of the class, I wasn’t afraid of getting hurt; in fact, I was probably a little reckless in throwing myself around. It all seemed possible because there was enough instruction and people were looking out for each other. But the weirdest thing about this experience was that it was a sort of emotional therapy that I did not expect. I did not go into this class wanting to think about how I perceive myself and others. But when you are lifting another person in the air, it is hard to not think about what role you play for the people in your life.

And when someone else is holding you up, you begin to think about how we need to trust friends and even strangers.

The class not only makes your abs sore the next day, but it also gives you an emotional cleanse, which on most college campuses is something that can be much needed.

The next scheduled acroyoga class is Nov. 19, and if you are interesting in trying it, getting out of your comfort zone, and throwing yourself around for a few hours, contact Molly Webster at mollywebster_2018@depauw.edu.

Desensitization?

As everyone probably already knows, this past Sunday evening gunfire erupted on the Las Vegas Strip during the Route 91 Harvest Country Music Festival. According to several news reports, there were about 22,000 people attending the concert.

As of Tuesday night, 59 people are dead and over 500 injured with close to 50 of those injured in critical condition, making this the deadliest mass shooting in United States history.

While the nation shares its grief, our thoughts are with all those who were affected by this tragedy, but a question stands: was anyone really surprised?

It can be assumed that most college age people (and many others as well) would probably respond: no, we’re not surprised. Almost every day the news is reporting on another mass shooting. According to Newsweek, the Las Vegas massacre marks the 273rd mass shooting in 2017 (note: only 275 days have passed). According to the New York Times, this is the 521st mass shooting in 477 days (starting from the Pulse shooting in June 2016 till now).

For a generation raised in post 9/11 America, mass shootings and terrorist attacks have become the norm. Politicians discuss in their chambers the importance of making a country safe for their children, for the next generation, but it’s too late. This generation, DePauw’s generation, has seen it already, and it is not because of video games or gore filled movies, it is because of the images plastered on the news 24/7 of the dead bodies of children after a chemical attack or the trampled remains of victims from a concert shooting.

People share the #PrayForVegas hastags and watch the videos on Facebook, but the drive for change and the outrage is no longer present. Is it superficial support, or an attempt to feel hopeful about a future of humanity when there is little left to be shocked by?

Discussions around campus about this latest event are not focused on disbelief but rather sorrowful acceptance. It is not a question of how could this happen but more of when will this happen again.

OPINIONS

Musings on mainstream media in America

BY KATHERINE VIECK Staff Writer opnions@thedepauw.com

I always attempt to follow a large group of mainstream media providers from both ends– and the middle–of the political spectrum. Because every last thing simply must be about America in the media, my Apple News widget is full of Trump, more Trump, and even more Trump.

Lately, the news has been shaken up with the hurricanes, so there has been a slight change of pace in the news world. What isn’t okay is when news providers like The New York Times rank the Boston Red Sox up at the top with DACA and major

natural disasters.

I just want to know where our priorities went. Trump certainly needs to be held accountable for any actions he makes, but does every headline need to be about him? As a student, I barely have time to read each article I see in depth, so I skim headlines just like most Americans that I know.

I have to dig to discover lots of important news, such as North Korea’s missile tests causing landslides, India’s supreme court supporting a thirteen-year-old girl who was sexually assaulted, and the Egyptian president warranting inhumane torture to collect information. Still, all we care about is what celebrities wore to the Emmy’s and what newest offense our president has said.

It is incredibly important that he gets reported on, but because of the 24/7 exclusive Trump coverage, it took me three whole days to find out about the bombings in London that happened on Sept. 15. How is that okay?

Right now. all I can see on Apple News is headlines about some model taking scandalous photographs and several unnecessary re-evaluations of the election that happened almost a year ago. I still see headlines saying “Why Hillary Lost,” and while it’s certainly important to understand that, it’s just not what the country needs to be focusing on.

What the country needs to be focusing on is the rest world, not just ourselves.

OPINIONS

New look opinion section

BY BROOKS HEPP Opinions Editor opnions@thedepauw.com

In past years, we have relied on letters to the editor and submissions from students and faculty members to fill the opinions section every week.

Although we are still encouraging submissions for anyone who writes an appropriate piece, we believe it is time to create more structure to the section.

The biggest change will be an addition of a dialogue based section. As a news outlet, we want to provide timely, unbi-

ased, educational news. To further accomplish this, we want to publish opinions that represent both sides of an issue.

Every week we will have two people write about one side of a hot-button issue, and place them near each other. This way both sides will get their voice heard, and we can embrace the respectful debate.

Christine Beckmann and Kaleb Anderson will begin taking turns drawing cartoons, and we will continue to run a photo opinion. These are both ways to provide more visuals to the

section, as well as an alternative way of receiving the news.

Finally, we are still keeping one spot open for student submissions because that is still what drives the opinions section. If there is an issue on campus or in the world you have a strong opinion on, we want to hear from you. You can send a submission to opinions@thedepauw.com.

We are excited with the new changes and additions to the opinions section, and we hope you are too.

We need to dialogue more

BY SHERAYA SMITH Staff Writer opnions@thedepauw.com

I chose to attend Jada Monica Drew’s afternoon session at the Day of Dialogue, expecting (based on the title of the session) to be discussing and debating the recent controversies over Civil War statues. What actually ensued, however, I believe was a lot more important than debating any issue: learning how to engage in dialogue and then practicing that dialogue.

Jada started us off by asking the group what prevents us specifically from dialoguing. Many participants, most of them white, responded with some variation of fear: they were afraid of offending someone, afraid of appearing racist, afraid of burdening someone of a different color with the task of explaining things to them, etc.

How Jada responded to this fear really encouraged me. She stated that she, as a woman of color, would rather have someone be honest and say something wrong so that she could have a conversation

about it with them than them stay silent for fear of not being politically correct and no conversation be had. While I realize not everyone shares this opinion, and while I still believe wholeheartedly in showing respect, this concept appears to me to be key to dialogue. We can’t dialogue with each other if we’re so afraid of saying something wrong that we don’t talk.

To assist us in our dialogue, Jada gave us guidelines to keep ourselves in check. Most importantly, dialogue is not debate. The point of debate is to make a point.

And even when we’re listening, it’s in order to respond. In contrast, the purpose of dialogue is to listen so as to learn. Additionally, dialogue doesn’t count wins or losses; if the “other side” doesn’t change their minds based on your dialogue, that’s okay, according to Jada.

After a few activities, we began practicing our dialogue. Small groups, which we had spent time in getting to know one another, were each assigned topics to dialogue about. For example, my group was assigned the topic “Exclusion

at DePauw,” and a lot of the comments others had were related to Greek life. One of the students in our group was confused about why so many people thought Greek life was exclusionary, as he believed his fraternity had open doors to those not in the fraternity. What ensued was a productive conversation about Greek life that we wouldn’t have had if we hadn’t had a time set aside for dialogue with such a diverse group of people.

Now, I’m not quite naive enough to think that one Day of Dialogue is enough to solve all of DePauw’s problems. Many of us are just learning how to dialogue after all, and have only begun to practice it, let alone put anything into action based on our dialogue.

For those of you who have become disillusioned with the Day of Dialogue, I would encourage you not to give up on it yet; at the least, don’t give up on dialogue. It may seem unproductive at first, but if it cultures empathy and even partial understanding, isn’t that something worth working towards?

Women’s soccer celebrates senior night with first NCAC victory

BY ANDREW DOUGLAS Staff Writer sports@thedepauw.com

DePauw sealed off a 2-0 shutout victory on senior night over Hiram College, giving the Tigers their first NCAC win at Reavis Stadium on Saturday.

The Tigers jumped out early as junior forward Bailey Ehrens, after receiving a short crossing pass from first-year forward Alex Wendt, scored her second goal of the year to put DePauw ahead 1-0 just after11:45.

Soon after a save by Tigers’ first-year goalie Mia Manney, the ball was kicked deep to senior forward Bridget Brendza. Brendza

kicked a through ball to sophomore forward Shaili Kumar, who then weaved through opposing defenders just before kicking a shot from outside the goalie box. The shot passed by the Terriers’ goalie for Kumar’s first goal of the season, putting the Tigers up 2-0 eight minutes before half.

Following halftime, the Tigers’ defense came out strong to hold Hiram off. The Terriers only managed two shots on goal during the half. Defense and a perfect save percentage by Manney kept the ball out of DePauw’s net, as the Tigers rolled onto a record of 2-7 overall and 1-1 in conference.

DePauw outshot Hiram 14 (six on goal) to the Terriers’ four (all

on goal). The difference in corner kicks played a significant role in the amount of time the ball was at each end of the field, with the Tigers capturing 14 corners and the Terriers only two.

“We connected passes and built out of the back with patience, skill, and trust in the approach, but also had the ability to get in behind when the counterattack was on,” said interim Head Coach Doug Starnes. “Centre is a classy, high achieving program, and the challenge now is to commit to the same things we did well in the last match against a perennial NCAA tournament caliber team.”

Football prevails in battle at Ohio Wesleyan, loses Labus for season

BY BOBBY CONNOR Staff Writer sports@thedepauw.com

The Tigers edged out Ohio Wesleyan University for a win this past weekend 31-30. The win snaps a three-year losing streak to the Battling Bishops, placing the Tigers (4-0) atop the NCAC conference along with Wittenberg University and Wabash College.

The win came at the expense of losing junior starting quarterback Matt Labus to a season-ending knee injury. After a 24-yard scramble late in the third quarter, Labus cut in the open field to dodge a defender when his knee gave out.

The Tigers will look to senior quarterback Jake Lasky and first-year quarterback Cam Haynes to fill the open position. Offensive coordinator Brett Dietz said, “We are going to have to play with creativity. Jake Lasky and Cam Haynes will both be getting reps, with each one of them bringing a different element to this team. It is going to be a group effort.“ The Tigers jumped out to an early

14-0 lead heading into the second quarter. However, for the first time all year the Tigers trailed their appointment going into halftime when the Battling Bishops scored 21 points to close out the half.

The offense capitalized on a solid field position in the third quarter with a five play, 40-yard drive, finished off by an 11-yard touchdown catch by junior running back Ramon Lopez to tie it up at 21 apiece.

“Our running backs are all great backs that each bring something unique to the group. We’ve got four to five guys that can really wear a defense out over four quarters,” junior running back Demarco Henry said.

Nearing the end of the third quarter, junior kicker Jake Tanner nailed a 30 yard field goal to retake the lead. The lead was short lived as the Battling Bishops took a 28-24 lead heading into the final quarter of play.

The Tigers’ defense came into the game, only recording two turnovers through the first three games. They quadrupled that statistic by forcing three

fumbles to go along with three interceptions. With 11 minutes left in the fourth quarter, junior linebacker Matt Crupi recovered a fumble on the Battling Bishops 39 yard line.

The offense strategically knocked four minutes off the clock marching down to Ohio Wesleyan’s goal line.

Ohio Wesleyan’s goal line stand came up short as Henry punched in a one-yard run on third and goal to take the lead 3128.

Arguably the biggest turnover of the day came when the team needed it most.

With three minutes left in the game, and Ohio Wesleyan driving into DePauw territory, junior defensive back Brooks Hepp intercepted Perry to seal the game.

“Our players made big time plays in this game. It was a huge game and we wanted it more than the opposition,” senior defensive back Ryan Price said.

The Tigers look to build on their four-game winning streak heading into Old Gold weekend by taking on Oberlin College (2-2) this Saturday at Blackstock stadium.

TIGER OF THE WEEK JUSTIN MITCHELL

Sport: Soccer Position: Midfielder Year: Junior Major: Economics

Mitchell has been a constant presence on the men’s soccer team all three years he has been at DePauw. This year, he has begun the season by starting every game and has become an influential player on the team. Every game in which he has had an assist or scored, the Tigers have won.

The DePauw (TDP): What was it like scoring goals to regain the lead against Hiram College two separate times?

Justin Mitchell (JM): It felt good. We went up early and at the end of the half, we were still up. It would have been nice to put another one away before they got one. They got two bad goals, but each time, as a team, we wanted to come back quickly. After their first goal, I scored within 90 seconds. It was nice to regain the lead and regain the energy and momentum the team needed to get the win.

TDP: What area of your game have you worked to most improve?

JM: This year I have focused on working off the ball by trying to make runs, off of the ball into open areas, so I can get the ball, and to attack open spaces.

TDP: How have the past two seasons contributed to being a starter this season?

JM: It was nice playing with the older guys and coming off the bench the past two years.

You come in as a freshman and the game is completely different than what you played in high school. It is way faster,

so building up my playing time let me find the flow of the game.

I played limited minutes as a freshman, and started the first six games last year but got hurt.

That gave me a good glimpse of what it was like. In the NCAA tournament, I also came off the bench. Coming into junior year, I wanted to start, so I put it in the back of my mind that I was going to be a starter. I knew it was going to be a big step for the program this year since we lost 11 seniors. I knew the outside midfield spot was open, and I wanted it to be mine and step up as a leader and scorer because we lost Julian Gonzalez, who graduated last year.”

TDP: How will this win affect the season as it continues into October?

JM: We lost our first NCAC game [this season] and we lost our first NCAC game last year as well. This weekend was a make-it or break-it point, and we knew we needed to bounce back and get another win in NCAC. We scored four goals and overall it was a great team win. We need to keep moving forward at this point in the NCAC and make our own destiny. We just need to take care of business in the NCAC and keep piecing together good team wins and I think we will be alright.
