Malala Yousafzai will deliver first Ubben Lecture of the school year

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

The youngest winner of the Nobel Peace Prize award, Malala Yousafzai, 20, will give the first Timothy and Sharon Ubben Lecture of the school year.

Yousafzai received her Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 for her fight for girls’ access to education, which has since become an international movement. In October 2012, she was shot in the head by a member of the Taliban for openly fighting, and writing about the right for women and girls to seek education. She recovered and returned to school by March 2013.

In 2013, her book “I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban,” was published and became the subject of a documentary, “He Named Me Malala”. She was named by Time magazine as one of the most influential people in the world, also in 2013.

Ken Owen, executive director of media relations, has been working to get Yousafzai to DePauw for almost three years.

“Other schools have been calling me asking how we

brought her to campus,” said Owen. “Persistence is the only thing I can tell them.”

Deepa Prakash, associate professor of political science, is excited to have someone as fascinating as Yousafzai on campus.

“She’s an inspirational figure and she has quite an incredible story,” said Prakash. “She’s a relevant figure and I think the students can learn a lot from her.”

Owen thinks Yousafzai’s visit has the potential of being the biggest Ubben Lecture to date in terms of interest. He said people are contacting him from all over the country and the world, asking about her speech. “I’m getting calls from people who know nothing about DePauw,” said Owen.

Junior Maria Mendez is studying abroad in Oxford University in London this semester, the same university Yousafzai will attend in the fall as a first year.

Unfortunately, Mendez will not be able to come to DePauw to see the lecture live before she has to leave. “I will livestream the lecture because Malala is one of my heroes and I’m really interested to see

what her lecture is on,” Mendez said.

Prakash said there is a significance to having political figures talk to students because political events define and shape people’s lives. “You may not be interested in politics, but politics are interested in you,” Prakash

said.

Mendez and Prakash both said they enjoy the Ubben Lecture Series because it is a unique opportunity to hear and learn from people who are leaders in their field. “It’s important to be connected and invested in world events,” Prakash said.

Prakash hopes that students take advantage of this opportunity because she is not the typical political figure DePauw has hosted in the past. “Change doesn’t just happen in a room with white men and she’s a good example of CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

makes you think that you can do something big, too.”

Mendez hopes Yousafzai will talk about how DePauw students can get involved in the fight for equal access to education. “The Ubben lectures are one of my favorite things about DePauw because we get to hear people talk about current issues that occur outside of the ‘DePauw bubble,’” Mendez said.

Unfortunately, only the first part of Yousafzai speech will be live streamed.

During this time, Yousafzai will address the audience at a podium. After the live stream ends she will sit down for a question and answer with Jeffrey Kenney, the Walter E. Bundy professor of religious studies. Finally, she will take student submitted questions asked by members of DePauw stu-

dent media organizations.

Despite the limited livestream, Owen has high hopes for the impact of Yousafzai’s lecture on the DePauw community. “This is going to be a day 15 years from now that people are talking about,” Owen said.

The Ubben Lecture will take place in the Neal Fieldhouse on Sept. 4 at 7:30 p.m.

Facility management loses 35 of its staff members

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

DePauw University’s facility management department has lost over 35 staff members since last year, taking the staff from 102 to 67.

The loss of staff is partially attributed to DePauw offering early retirement packages to faculty and staff at the end of last year. 200 staff and faculty members across campus were offered retirement packages.

Although not everyone

accepted, an overwhelming amount of staff from facilities took the offer.

Director of Facilities Management Warren Whitesell said that despite having the least amount of staff the department has ever had, facilities management has been working under the same workload.

“No one has asked us to do less,” Whitesell said.

Whitesell does not believe the department will have a staff of over 100 again and is aiming for numbers in

the mid 90’s and hopes to reach his goal over the next four to six months. New positions are being created to focus on technical advances and building management systems. “(The) system’s changing,” Whitesell said.

Within facilities, housekeeping and landscaping lost the highest number of people and there is only one electrician currently on campus.

“They’re working through some challenges now,” said new Vice President of

“That’s what the Center for Diversity and Inclusion is going to be is another place for student support for out of class learning to be able to happen to prepare all of our students to go out in a global world and be successful in whatever fields that they choose to go into,” Myrna Hernandez, dean of students, said.

DePauw alumni Justin and Darrianne Christian, both class of ‘95, have provided DePauw with over half a million dollars towards the project.

Safely moving utility power lines connected to part of campus and the wider Greencastle community was one of the challenges the construction crew faced over the summer. “All of that is now underground, which is a desired improvement to get as much of that from being aerial to underground,”

Warren Whitesell, director of facilities and project manager, said.

The Association for African-American students (A.A.A.S.), Committee for Latino Concerns (CLC), International Student Association, Asian American/Pacific Islander Initiative, United DePauw and many other student organizations will be frequently using the new center to hold meetings and events. “Any identity affinity group, even if they didn’t have a specific space in one of the previous centers, will be able to utilize the center, get support in the center, meet in the center, use the resources of the center,” Hernandez said.

Along with the resources and space provided for students, Hernandez said, staff in multicultural, international, and LGBT student services

Finance and Administration Bob Leonard. Leonard cited flooding in the Green Center of Performing Arts over the summer and the multiple renovation projects taking place across campus as focuses of facilities.

The short staff is causing headaches for facilities management, DePauw faculty and students alike. “I have been trying to get the trees labeled on campus and everything was supposed to come together this summer,” said junior Environmental

Fellow Kiara Goodwine, “but because of the shortage of employees I don’t think it will happen any time soon.”

Whitesell asked the DePauw community to be patient, especially over movein weekend, as facilities will not be responding as fast to problems as in the past.

“Give us enough time to be able to respond,” Whitesell said. If students experience problems with their housing units they are asked to please place work orders on DePauw E-services.

Center for Diversity and Inclusion to be completed by October

BY EMILY SCHABES Co-News Editor news@thedepauw.com

Organizations formally housed in the Dorothy Brown House and the AAAS House on Hanna Street will be getting a new and improved building in record time.

A new Center for Diversity and Inclusion is scheduled to open in early October on DePauw’s campus, according to Bob Leonard, vice president for finance and administration.

The center will be located across from the Richard E. Peeler Center of Fine Arts and was created in order to provide a permanent place for student groups to meet after DePauw University facilities found that the Dorothy Brown Center was irreparable. The Dorothy Brown Center was home to several identification affinity groups on campus.

respectively will be housed there as well.

The Center for Diversity and Inclusion will be equipped with two kitchens, meeting spaces, a salon and barber shop that will cater to a variety of hair types, a library and other resources for student groups on campus.

“I think it’s great, it’s

big, has a lot of stuff going on inside, it has salons, even better because a lot of people can’t get their hair done here, I think it’s a great space,” said sophomore Kyra Martin.

Stewart Plaza fountains bring water back to campus

BY EMMA HOUSTON Co-Features Editor features@thedepauw.com

Of all the changes to the DePauw landscape over the summer, the fountains in Stewart Plaza may be the most recognizable and aesthetically pleasing.

Many fountains have occupied the DePauw campus over the years. According to Warren Whitesell, project manager for the facilities department, the fountains were born out of the nostalgic wishes of alumni and other contributors. “There was a desire by some of the alumni and the benefactors that sponsored [the project] to kind of bring water back to campus in a meaningful way,” Whitesell said. “There was a thought that there is a sense of tranquility, there is a sense of ambiance and environment that they tend to create.”

However, the past fountains were not in prominent places, said Whitesell. So by putting the new fountains at the center of campus in Stewart Plaza, the University

“made them prominent, made them something that you’re not going to stumble onto; you’re going to be there intentionally,” Whitesell said.

James G. Stewart, ‘64, former executive vice-president and chief financial officer of Cigna, a global health insurance company, donated $5 million to The Campaign for DePauw for the construction of the Stewart Plaza.

The optimal location between Hoover Hall and the Union Building was chosen to draw in students and community members to enjoy the fountains and the scenery of the campus.

“It is bringing people together,” Whitesell said. “It makes a very attractive space in nice weather conditions for people to just gather on their own without having a specific reason to be there, just enjoying the outdoors or enjoying that tranquility.”

Students and community members alike have relaxed and played by the fountain in the weeks after its completion.

Greencastle residents bring their

children to the fountain, and students settle at the surrounding tables and chairs to enjoy their lunch or coffee. “They’re enjoying the scenery, watching the student body,” Whitesell said. “There’s been lots of community members that have come, particularly in the evening.”

He sees the space as being used for many meetings and tablings in the future, especially in fair weather conditions. “It makes a really nice place for people to gather,” said Whitesell. “That’s one of the purposes is just to have a place to invite people to come and gather at a desirable location.”

Due to all of the underground work involved in repurposing Stewart Plaza and tearing down the former Hub dining area, the fountains cost nearly half a million dollars. In total, the plaza was about $3 million, according to Whitesell.

New first-years are excited for the meeting spot that the fountains provide. After the international student gathering Tuesday night, students splashed in the water and

posed for pictures. “I think they’re very pretty, especially at nighttime when the lights are on,” first-year Sophie van Genderen said.

Thus far, the fountains have been respectfully used on campus.

Whitesell and the University hope that the plaza will continue to be respected and not abused

by student shenanigans. Over the summer there were several incidents of people in the area skateboarding on an around Stewart Plaza. One incident reported to DePauw Public Safety cited juveniles swimming in the fountains.

What you need to know about the solar eclipse

BY RACHEL CLEPHANE Business Manager business@thedepauw.com

The DePauw sat down with Alexander Komives, associate professor of physics and astronomy, to discuss what you need to know about the upcoming social solar eclipse.

The DePauw (TDP): What is a solar eclipse, and why is this solar eclipse so special?

Komives: The moon and the sun will appear close to one another about once a month, but they usually miss and don’t completely cover each other.

The solar eclipse on Monday is a total eclipse, meaning that the moon will completely cover the

sun. This eclipse is particularly exciting because the last total solar eclipse in the United States was in 1977, and the fact that the total eclipse will be visible at one specific location is very rare.

TDP: When is the solar eclipse happening?

K: The solar eclipse will happen at around 2:30 p.m. this Monday.

TDP: What will the solar eclipse look like?

K: In Greencastle, there will be a partial eclipse. Approximately 92% of the sun’s disk will be covered, so part of the sun will still be seen. It will get dark outside, similar to twilight, sunset, or early sunrise. In the path of totality, where there will be a total

solar eclipse, such as in Nashville, the experience will be different.

The sun will be completely covered, and the sky will go dark as if it were nighttime. You will see the outline of the sun, and you will be able to see the stars.

TDP: Will anything strange or out-of-the-ordinary happen?

K: The birds may get a little bit confused, but otherwise not really.

TDP: How do I view the solar eclipse?

K: It is extremely important to know that it is not safe to look at the solar eclipse without proper eye protection. You will need special glasses to view the event.

By looking directly at the eclipse and the sun, you could end up

blinding yourself. It is important to have the right glasses. The American Astronomical Society provides information about how to view the eclipse safely. All eye protection has to be compliant with the information on the website.

They also have a list of vendors on their website where you can buy glasses, although you should beware of fake solar glasses that falsely claim to protect you eyes.

TDP: What if I want to see the total solar eclipse in person?

K: The Astronomy Club is sponsoring a free trip to Kentucky for those who want to see the total solar eclipse in person. Contact Thomas Grier (thomasgrier_2018@depauw. edu) to sign up.

NOTE: If you don’t have proper eye protection, you can still “see” the eclipse, by following these steps from NASA: Make a tiny hole in the middle of a sheet of paper.

With your back towards the sun, hold that piece of paper above your shoulder, allowing the sun to shine on the paper.

Use a second sheet of paper to act as a screen. Hold it at a distance from the first sheet, and you will see an inverted image of the sun projected on the paper screen through the pinhole.

To make the image of the sun larger, hold the screen paper farther away from the paper with the hole.

Scoops of small town flavor

BY EMMA HOUSTON Features Editor features@thedepauw.com

As a wafting sweet smell of vanilla hits their noses and bubblegum pink walls welcome their eyes, customers walking into Scoops Ice Cream Parlor on Indiana Street feel as if they are stepping into a scoop of cotton candy ice cream.

The pink walls and white trim are, in the words of owner Joan Earl, reminiscent of “a strawberry ice cream cone”. The wall color is fitting, as Scoops serves both cotton candy and strawberry ice cream flavors. She and her family, including her two sisters and her young niece, picked out all the decor and hand-drew the signs to give it the special flair they hope is endearing to customers.

Earl, a retired grade school teacher, hadn’t always dreamt of owning an ice cream shop. Originally, she wanted to open a bakery on DePauw’s campus. “I love to bake.

That’s my thing,” she said. But after

the arrival of a new grandchild, she decided that running an ice cream shop instead would let her spend more time with her family. “I still get to do some baking; we make our own waffle cones, and I’ll get to do some baking this winter when we incorporate some cookies in here,” Earl said.

Last year, Earl retired after more than 25 years of teaching grade school in the Greencastle community. “I’m used to being around kids and being busy, busy, busy,” Earl said. She and her husband, Bill, decided that opening an ice cream shop would be a good use of their time. “We got approached about maybe opening one downtown because they’re working on bringing downtown back to life and so we said, ‘yeah, we’ll do that,’” Joan Earl said.

After all her years of teaching, Earl missed hanging around kids. She wants Scoops to become a mecca for kids of all ages to spend their time. “I like it when this place is full of kids, young or old,” Earl said. “I really

tried to load my ice cream with kidfriendly ice cream.”

Earl reminisced on the times she spent at Fleenor’s Drug Store as a young girl and wished to bring that same small-town spirit back to downtown Greencastle. “When I was growing up here, right on the corner where Conspire is, that was a drug store soda shop and soda fountain,” Earl said. “After school, we would walk up to Fleenor’s and sit in there and have ice cream.”

The after-school trips to Fleenor’s were “a daily thing” for Earl and her friends. She would like Scoops to become the same kind of haven for young kids. “Hopefully the kids will come in back down here,” Earl said.

“I know DePauw kids will walk by, but it’s funny how many parents drive their kids here after school.”

Fond childhood memories and nostalgia also drove the Earls in their naming of the shop, dubbed “Scoops” after her favorite ice cream shop near her parents’ condo in Venice, Florida.

“What I love about [the Scoops in Florida] is it’s just a little hole-inthe-wall... and they have the whole wall, everything in there, covered with... license plates from all over the United States,” said Earl.

The quirky decor made an impression on the young Earl, and she wanted her place to have the same unique flavor that other children can remember. “We just loved that as kids, and we’ve taken our kids there, and that’s what we remember,” Earl said.

Earl wants to expand in the future, offering cookies in the winter and iced coffee in the spring. But she wants the main focus of the shop to be the hard-serve scoops of ice cream after which it is named. “It’s an ice cream shop,” Earl said. “I want to offer something else, but I want ice cream to be the focus of our shop.”

Throughout the process, Earl has been surprised at the eager reception that the Greencastle community has offered to Scoops. “I never expected the crowds that we had,” Earl said. “Our first First Friday event, they were out the door, down the sidewalk, all the way to Moore’s Bar waiting to get in. I had to recruit Jackie from Moore’s Bar to come help me dip that night.”

But since that first night, Earl has prepared for the type of crowds she expects now that DePauw students are back on campus. “It’s been so well-received, and we’ve been thankful for all the support from the town, and that the students I hope will be giving us when they get here,” Earl said. “We’re really excited about it.”

On warm summer evenings, both DePauw students and Greencastle residents can be seen congregating outside the shop, eagerly devouring both their generous scoops of ice cream and the fresh night air. “It’s

amazing. Very delicious and wellpriced,” said Greencastle native Chris Rady as he chatted with his family over their single scoops and waffle cones.

Offering a unique spread of flavors like Turkish coffee, Lemoreo, and Twinkie at an affordable price, Scoops appeals to residents and college students alike. “I really like it. It’s my first time trying it,” said DePauw University sophomore Emma Krug. “It’s really good, they have really creative flavors, it’s not too expensive, and I’m just really loving it on this summer night.”

Earl and her family are thrilled to offer Scoops as a way to develop downtown Greencastle and bring the community together. “We’re just looking forward to DePauw kids getting back and coming in,” She said.

The Earl family is “just happy to be here,” Earl said, “happy to be part of this great expansion and bringing the town back to life.”

The First-Year Mentor experience

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

An indispensable part of the DePauw first-year experience can be credited in part to the devoted students and staff of the mentor program.

“I always knew I wanted to work with the program and eventually one thing led to another,” said Cara Setchell, first-year class dean and director of the mentor program when asked about how she got involved with the group.

She has helped run the program directly for eight years, but has been helping out since her first year at DePauw in 1999, when the modern-day mentor program was introduced.

Setchell and her fellow staff members train 55 upperclassmen to help ensure the incoming first-year class has prepared leaders they can count on.

Training for this year’s mentors started on Aug. 13, and lasted up to 12 hours a day, everyday, until first-years move in on Aug. 18. Although exhausted, most mentors radiate excitement in anticipation of meeting their future mentees.

According to Setchell, two fundamental pillars of the mentor program are to “help first-years find their home at DePauw and help create a sense of belonging to the DePauw community.” The second is to help every student have awareness of resources they can use to thrive at DePauw.

These ideas were the basis for their activities and discussions throughout the week.

Setchell expressed her views regarding the mentorship program’s student diversity. “They have different backgrounds, diverse interests,

The 2017-2018 mentors pose for a photo. PHOTO COURTESY OF GRANT POTTS they just bring something unique to the table,” said Setchell. “When you get that all in one room I just think really incredible things can happen and they can learn from each other.”

Oftentimes a student becomes a mentor are because they either had a worthwhile mentor or a not so great one. For junior Kelsi Dye, one of her motives was having the opportunity to aid the incoming class. “I just really wanted to help them transition from high school to their firstyear of college because I know I didn’t have an easy transition...

I thought maybe I could be there

and help ease that,” Dye said. “I kind of struggled with it and I feel like I’m just now getting it settled.”

Being a mentor is seen as a way for upperclassmen to share their experiences, helping mentees avoid the same mistakes the mentors themselves made.

For first-years, Dye stressed the importance of balancing their emotional and physical wellbeing along with academics and social life when starting their first year at DePauw.

The imprint the program left on sophomore Nick Carlson’s first year became one of the reasons for his interest in being

a mentor. “It was just nice having a friend group going in and having that class everyday really helped,” said Carlson.

The benefits of having a mentor group continued long after his first semester, helping him to build lasting friendships. “As I went on throughout the year, one of my best friends was from my mentor group,” Carlson said.

Training is also a time of selfdiscovery for mentors. “It kind of surprises me about myself,” said Carlson, “We talked about privilege and about how people don’t really think about their privilege. I guess it’s not a part of their daily life, especially

for a white male.” Training meetings for the mentors have helped Carlson and the rest of the attendees learn how to have discussions on topics such as inclusion and diversity.

And the mentors and mentees are not the only people who learn from the program. “I’m just amazed at how much I learn every year from the mentors,” Setchell said.

First-year students will meet their mentors and their first-year seminar instructors on Aug. 18 in the afternoon after opening convocation for a mentor group dinner.

What is not surprising about Charlottesville

BY EMMA MAZUREK Managing Editor opinions@thedepauw.com

Why are people surprised about what happened in Charlottesville this past week? This type of hatred and bigotry is not new by any means and this is not the first time it has been justified as “free speech.”

These white supremacist rallies are not the first, and are unfortunately most likely not the last time people have wielded torches while shouting “Jews will not replace us,” and “blood and soil.” White supremacy is not new. In fact, white supremacy exists within all of our institutions, and has for as long as the United States existed. In Mississippi, the Confederate Flag is part of the state flag, and in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Arkansas the state flags have Confederate colors and symbols. These flags function as a normalization of the Confederacy and the horrible atrocities it committed for hundreds of years during the enslavement of African peoples.

The organizer and leader of these two white supremacist rallies, Jason Kessler, went on record saying that he planned on suing for the violation of free speech of his groups. It is absurd to even suggest that rallies including torches and cars crashing into people

fall under free speech. Those fall into “clear and present danger,” a reference to a Supreme Court ruling which provides precedent to stop a protest or rally that poses a clear and present danger to people. His statements are insulting to people who have protested in peaceful manners like members of the Black Lives Matter movement.

By calling the acts of domestic terrorism that occurred “free speech,” it is an attempt to normalize what happened at these rallies. Part of this is already normalized and ingrained into our society, but what Kessler wants is to create a society where all of this is completely accepted and completely normal. These white nationalist groups are happy to have President Donald Trump say nothing because it contributes to this normalization.

They are thrilled to be under a president who not only believes these events should be normal, but are something that deserves protection.

Donald Trump’s response should not be surprising. He has shown the world exactly who he is and what he believes since the beginning of his campaign for president.

It is also not shocking that the white terrorist who drove his car into a crowd, killing Heather Heyer and injuring 19 others, was a perpetrator of domestic violence.

According to The Washington Post, he beat his mother. The Washington Post has published articles showing how many terrorists are connected, despite different views, but misogyny undeniably plays a role in terrorist attacks. Again, misogyny is not a new thing in the U.S. and with so much overlap there is a strong case to be made for misogyny involvement in the U.S..

So, here’s the thing. Stop being shocked, do not tell people to love and not hate, and do not sit by. If you do nothing you are the bad guy.

There is no gray area. If you have wondered what you would have done in situations of oppression and hatred, you are doing it right now. So it is not enough to post on Facebook or Twitter. Now is the time to go to rallies, vigils, and talk to people about how they are contributing to white nationalism. Talk to your families, your friends, and even strangers. Do something to help solve the problem, because if you are white you benefit from white privilege, and if you identify as a man you benefit from male privilege. It is important to use your privilege to put yourself in spaces that may not be safe for people of color and be an activist. In the final Facebook post of Heyer, “If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.”

Take advantage of your summers as a DePauw student

BY MATT LABUS Staff Writer opinions@thedepauw.com

This past summer I had the privilege of interning with a small technology company called Springbuk located in Indianapolis. I was able to secure this experience through a DePauw University connection, and it was an eye opening experience. All students should take advantage of their summers in some way, shape or form.

Whether that is an internship, studying abroad, or even creating your own business, I think that getting out of your comfort zone

is crucial to finding out what you want to do and, maybe even more importantly, not want to do after DePauw.

In my experience, working in the heart of the city of Indianapolis was very cool, as this was my first “real” job. I was able to create unique connections amongst my coworkers and my capstone project even allowed me to present in front of the CEO and COO of the company. You learn so much about yourself when you take a risk and do something special with your summer.

From learning the etiquette of the business world to gaining exposure in a multitude of

departments across the company, I know that I will be bringing back valuable skills that I will utilize each day.

It is easy to get by every summer and not take advantage of the experience you could gain in the summer. Even though it may seem out of your comfort zone, or flat out scary, take a leap of faith and apply for that internship you don’t think you could get.

Study abroad in a place you have always wanted to go. Or, start the business you have always said would be a million dollar idea.

Don’t let a great opportunity go to waste during the summer.

Move-in day from the perspective of an upperclassman

BY BROOKS HEPP Opinions Editor opinions@thedepauw.com

Everybody remembers their first move-in day.

Meeting your roommate. Your mom being overly controlling about the arrangement of your room, but you know it’s because she’s upset to see you leaving the house. That painful process of trucking up a big futon from the first floor to the fourth floor. Meeting everyone on your floor and answering the same series of questions: “What’s your name? Where are you from? What are you planning on majoring in?”

That first meeting with your mentor group and the first ice breaker exercises. Should I try to be funny? Who should I sit next to? What should I say

as my fun fact when it’s my turn to introduce myself? We all asked ourselves the same questions.

It all feels so recent.

That feeling in your stomach that’s a combination of excitement, fear and confusion.

Pulling out your campus map because you have no idea where anything is. Not knowing what to eat at the Hub, or the Inn, or wherever the first-years are eating these days.

It all feels so different now.

Now as sophomores return for their second year, juniors make their return as upperclassmen and seniors begin their last ride, move-in day is much different.

Your roommates your firstyear are now your best friends.

Your parents do not even need to come help you move in if they

do not want to because it is not your first rodeo. The pressure to meet new people and answer all the essential questions is no longer a priority. The brutal transportation of your futon may be the only similarity.

You lose the fear and confusion in your stomach and are simply filled with excitement. You do not need a campus map anymore. You have your exact order of food at your respective dining location. Maybe you even make a trip to Marvin’s on your first day, which you didn’t even know existed on move-in day your first year.

It is easy for first-years to mistake that feeling in their stomach as a mistake. I would be hard pressed to find a single college student who went through their first year without

any doubts on their college decision.

But stick it out. That feeling in your stomach is not a mistake. It is the start of something great. One day your move-in day will be one of the best days of the year.

One day that couch will not feel as heavy to carry because you will have your three best friends holding each corner.

One day you will actually look forward to move-in day.

So first-years: cherish your first move-in day. You will never have another one like it. Despite all the nervous tensions running through your body as you adjust to your new home, one day when it’s all over, you will be wishing you could experience that feeling again.

FALL SPORTS PREVIEW Previews are written by The DePauw Sports Editors: Austin Candor and Andrew Gold

FIELD HOCKEY Since coming on as head coach lowercase title in 2015, Erika Dombkowski has continued the winning traditions of DePauw field hockey.

But after winning conference in Dombkowski’s first year, the Tigers took a small step back last season, falling to Kenyon College in the NCAC Championship 2-1 in overtime.

For a program that’s put together winning seasons year after year, the team’s success is now measured by what happens in the postseason.

With a strong lineup in place, the Tigers are set for another conference championship and a deep run in the NCAA Division III tournament.

Key losses: Defender Sofia Carretero, Defender Annie Wyman, Midfielder Addie Ball What to Watch For: After losing only three starters, this year’s talented senior class that includes forward Paige Berliner, defender Grace Waldman, and forward/midfielder Reilly Bruce will look to make its mark in program history.

SPORTS VOLLEYBALL Coming off of a fantastic season last year ending in a loss to eventual national champion Calvin College, DePauw Women’s Volleyball looks to take that momentum forward into this season.

The goal for this year’s team is simple: go further. Head Coach Deb Zellers thinks this team has a very real chance to do that.

“We’d like to go further than before and make our mark in ways we never have before,” said Zellers.

The challenge will be replacing two program all-time greats in Rachel Lenderman and Elizabeth Wilson who both graduated decorated in accolades. Would-be sophomore Gabi Allread also left the team when she transferred away from DePauw.

Despite losing such integral players, Zellers is ecstatic about what this season holds.

“This is going to be a team that has the most depth and versatility of any team I’ve coached. Even though we are young, we have experience in that youth and will be well balanced,” said Zellers.

The youth of the team could be one of the defining factors for the squad’s success. Lowerclassmen take 12 out 16 spots, leaving one junior and three seniors. Zellers hopes the team can rally around the three seniors and ultimately make history. “For the seniors, Keegan, Haley, and Emily, you just hope that they go out with a bang. They have put in the time and work, so for them, I want to see us be successful,” said Zellers.

Key Losses: Defensive specialist Rachael Lenderman, middle hitter Elisabeth Wilson What to Watch For: Who can step up on defense in lieu of Lenderman’s absence as reigning conference defensive player of the year.

Best Case Scenario: This team not only makes a deep postseason run, but gains valuable experience with the younger players to carry into the next couple of seasons.

Worst Case Scenario: The loss of two great players leaves holes too large to be filled and the team settles for lower half of the conference standings.

Best Case Scenario: The senior class leads the Tigers to a conference championship and past the first round of the NCAA Division III Tournament.

Worst Case Scenario: After putting together another strong regular season, the Tigers struggle in the NCAC Tournament for the second year in a row, leading to another disappointing finish.

FOOTBALL The last play of the season ended with the Hunt brothers connecting in the endzone to bring back the Monon Bell for the first time in nearly a decade.

Though only half of the duo remains, junior wide receiver Andy Hunt and a new core of talent are gunning for a repeat and a conference championship.

“We’ve been excited about this football team ever since we got done last year,” said Head Coach Bill Lynch.

The Tigers will be getting back senior wide receiver Jake Hagan, who’s been out since early last season with an injury. Hagan will join wide receivers Nolan Ayres, Chase Sadler, and Ryan Grizzard to round out a strong senior offense.

The team’s biggest concern will be on defense, which has been a consistent strength in past years. The Tigers look to replace linebackers Thomas Gray and Will Longthorne as well as Pete Nelson and Michael Mitsch on defensive line.

“But again, we’ve got some good young guys, too ,who have practiced a lot and worked hard, and it’s their turn,” said Lynch.

Key losses: Quarterback Matt Hunt, running back Jason Kirchhoff, kicker Marko Adams, wide receiver Ian Good, linebacker Will Longthorne, linebacker Thomas Gray What to Watch For: With quarterback Matt Hunt gone, Lynch will get a good look at who wants the starting job. The group of candidates will include senior Jake Lasky, junior Matt Labus, and freshman Chase Andries, who was an Indiana All-Star his senior year at Beech Grove.

Senior Wide Receiver, Ben Wilson, reaches out to make the completion. KALEB VANARSDALE

Best Case Scenario: The Tigers quickly fill the holes left by last year’s seniors. The team beats both Wabash College and Wittenberg University and earns a berth in the National playoffs.

Worst Case Scenario: The team struggles to find a consistent replacement for Hunt. Unable to duplicate last

MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY Last season’s finish was a sign of things to come for the men’s squad.

Senior Polo Burguete and junior Zach Batt represented the team at the NCAA Division III Championships in Kentucky after posting top-10 finishes in the regional.

Add junior Paul Christian to the mix, and the Tigers are looking at what could be one of the best men’s teams in program history.

A few of the team’s runners are currently battling pre-season injuries, which could create a slow start for an otherwise talent-heavy program.

“The season will be about overcoming a lot of obstacles,” said Burguete. “Our goal is to collectively build an attitude that will help us gain momentum and achieve results on the course.”

The three runners will be supported by seniors Pierce Sheehan and Josie Smith as well as sophomores Cole Martin and Nick Meszaros.

Key Losses: Brad Burch, C.J. Copeland, Jack Evans, Brad Wise What to watch for: The trio of Batt, Burguete, and Christian have all qualified for Nationals at some point in their DePauw careers. Expect these three to push each other through Conference and beyond.

Best Case Scenario: Batt, Burguete, and Christian post PR’s and stay injury-free all season. DePauw’s get strong seasons from the supporting cast around the Tigers’ top three runners and the team wins the NCAC championships.

Worst Case Scenario: Injuries linger well into the year as the team struggles to put it all together. By the time conference rolls around, the Tigers are looking at a lost season and a missed opportunity to capitalize on the team’s talent.

MEN’S SOCCER

SPORTS

PG. 15 | August 18, 2017

It’s conceivable that losing 7 of 11 starters could instill expectations of a rebuild or transition for the men’s soccer team. However, the word “rebuild” doesn’t seem to be in the team’s vocabulary.

After coming off of a second straight NCAA tournament run, Head Coach Brad Hauter expects nothing less than that level of success out his squad again this season.

“Talent wise, we are no different from other years. The difference will be in how we play and what tools we have at our disposal,” said Hauter.

Two of those tools Hauter had to work with last year were seniors. Julian Gonzalez and E.J. Moore. Gonzalez led the team in goals and points, broke the school’s all-time scoring record, and was named second team All-American. Moore led the charge in the midfield and was the field general for the team, earning All-Region honors.

The Tigers return four starters and a handful of players with experience and ambition to make their mark on the squad.

Key Losses: Forward Julian Gonzalez, midfielder E.J. Moore, midfielder Chase Rollins, Forward Jonathan Wheeler, Forward Zach Hoffman, Goalie Harrison Glover What to Watch For: A balanced and potent attack culminating in multiple goals for multiple players.

Best Case Scenario: It’s hard to argue that anything short of another run in the NCAA tournament is the ceiling for this squad.

Worst Case Scenario: The team fails to generate enough offense and finds themselves hovering around .500 and possibly missing out on the conference tournament.

WOMEN’S CROSS COUNTRY

Head Coach Kori Stoffregen refuses to use the word “rebuild” to describe any of his teams. This season is no different, but the Tigers will need to replace last year’s senior class.

DePauw lost six of their seven top runners to graduation, including Claudia Monnett, who qualified for the National Championships her junior and senior seasons.

“When you have six girls dominate for most of their career, it’s going to be a very, very different team,” said Stoffregen.

Regardless of how the Tigers fare in Conference, the season will be an indicator of what the fairly young program will look like over the next few years.

Senior captains Rachel Higson and Andrea Nunez-Garcia are more than capable of leading a team that rely on a sophomore-heavy class.

Junior Gabby Coffing will also be returning after helping the Tigers place in the Top 10 of last year’s Regional.

Key Losses: Claudia Monnett, Lois Miller, Emma MacAnally, Becca Conley, Grace Cook, Kendall Weinert What to Watch For: The Tigers will be getting a shot in the arm from senior transfer Megan Hennessey, who brings varsity experience from Saint Joseph College after the school closed at semester’s end last spring amid financial issues.

Best Case Scenario: The younger runners follow Higson and NunezGarcia’s lead and see constant improvement throughout the year. The Tigers finish strong at conference and are left with a strong core for next season.

Worst Case Scenario: The team struggles to find consistency behind Higson and Nunez-Garcia. The absence of last year’s seniors is felt all season long.

WOMEN’S SOCCER

After failing to make the NCAA tournament last year, the women’s soccer team is highly motivated to improve this season. The Tigers lost in the NCAC tournament and had their bubble burst on NCAA selection day.

The good news is that the majority of the core returns, with an extra chip on their shoulder. Seniors Kathryn Ruark and Bridget Brendza, who both earned post season accolades, look to lead the attack for the Tigers, while all conference midfielder and defender Maddie Baker and Gail Enright hope to sure shore up the spine of the team as juniors.

The team will be taking the field without a couple of All-Conference contributors last year, missing defender Jen Dimos and keeper Riley Riordan who both graduated.

Ruark is optimistic about the season at hand.

“We are looking forward to getting back to the top of the conference standings by using last year as motivation. Our goal is to return to the tournament and that starts with our season opener against the defending national champion,” Ruark said.

Key losses: Goalie Riley Riordan, midfielder Kelsey Cobbs, forward Elizabeth Seewer, forward Liz Fraser, defender Lexy Burton What to Watch For: Whether or not a solid back four can establish themselves, allowing for Enright to slide back into the midfield.

Best Case Scenario: With the mix of talent, experience, and attitude, this team seems poised to make a run in the postseason.

Worst Case Scenario: They fail to fix their inconsistency and come up just short of the tournament for the second year in a row.

Tips to being a good roommate

BY EMMA HOUSTON - - - - -

Discuss boundaries and keep them.

Knock before you enter. Hogate doors do not always lock.

Wash your dishes. Beware of bugs.

Be open to sharing.

Be considerate when hosting overnight guests. Always

ask first!

- Keep normal sleeping hours.

- Share your snacks. Nothing brings people together like food.

- Decide who does what chores. Remember to vacuum!

- Be conscious of who you bring into you and your room

mate’s shared space. Dorm storming is not for everyone.

- Try to contain the mess to your side of the room. Dress

ers are provided for a reason.

- Use your headphones, especially if you have unusual taste (or you like country music).

- Rather than leaving passive-aggressive Post-its detailing your issues, confront your roommate with your problems face-to-face.
