“But I’ve got better things to do” — Mus i n g s of a “straight edge” pun k EDWARD BENNER Staff Reporter

a positive example for others — one that has been upheld for over 30 years. This example is one that I have chosen to follow in my own life. Being Straight Edge didn’t pose a particular challenge until coming to campus, where it immediately became evident that my opinions on the topic were in the vast minority. The utter excess of and casual attitude toward alcohol, drug and tobacco consumption were and remain to be startling. What is perhaps most troubling is the lack of any sense of responsibility or ownership for anyone’s actions. Frequently substances are used as a crutch and an excuse for insensitivity, intolerance and, frankly, embarrassing behavior. After the hangover, nothing changes, and the cycle viciously repeats itself with no one being held accountable. Even within the DIY music scene in Newark, a space that prides itself on complete openness and tolerance of all perspectives, nothing is mentioned about being Straight Edge. On a weekly basis, members of the scene drink, smoke and get high at shows and not a single person speaks up to reevaluate the practices or protect those who have or potentially could suffer at the

n 47 seconds Ian MacKaye changed my entire life. With a dizzyingly aggressive outburst of raw sonic energy, he outlined the defiant manifesto of “Straight Edge” in the 1981 “Minor Threat” song of the same name. In screaming, “Always gonna stay in touch / Never want to use a crutch,” MacKaye dispelled any premonition of the need for substances and proclaimed having “the straight edge” over his peers as a result. Not only did he present hardcore punk in its purest, fastest form, but he gave a voice to what would become generations of people, including myself. Straight edge was originally a response to the rampant drug and alcohol abuse plaguing the D.C. hardcore scene in the 1980s but has had wider reaching applications. Fed up with the behavior of his peers, MacKaye penned “Straight Edge” and unleashed his dissenting opinion, creating a cultural movement in the process. By marking a black “X” on each hand to show their commitment to a sober lifestyle, Straight Edge punks officially took a stand to set

think about their health and wellbeing and that of others. In writing this piece I am not expecting to convert every reader to this way of life or demonize anyone who partakes in substances. My message couldn’t be further from that and it should be stressed that I feel no sense of animosity or resentment toward those individuals who drink or smoke. I merely want to offer a differing perspective from what’s commonly accepted as a large part of this campus’s culture and promote serious conversation. Making the choice to abstain from or even limit the consumption of harmful, mind-altering substances allows for a greater connection to one’s surroundings and more opportunities for genuine, memorable experience. One does not have to drink, smoke or get high to be an active participant in college culture. The power to take a stand and hold oneself and others accountable for their unhealthy and reckless behavior is in one’s hands. Lead by the Straight Edge example.

hen inebriated, things become blurry. Edges become blurred, shapes lose their form, movements become foggy. One thing that should not fade, however, under the influence of alcohol is one’s understanding of consent. Alcohol consumption (and overconsumption) and sexual assault are prevalent on college campuses, and are often intertwined. Over half of all reported sexual assault in college involves alcohol, though sexual assault reporting is wholly underreported. Alcohol’s relation to aggressive and forceful behavior and decreased motor and cognitive skills creates difficulties for giving and obtaining consent. With lowered inhibitions, consent becomes complicated and confusing. The university defines consent for sexual assault policy as “an affirmative decision to engage willingly in mutually acceptable sexual activity given by clear words or actions. It is an informed decision made freely and actively by all involved parties.” When alcohol is involved, the processes to make affirmative

decisions and recognize a clear “yes” are inhibited. However, the presence and effects of alcohol are occurring within a context of pre-existing understandings of consent. “Sometimes the lines can be blurred when it comes drinking and consent,” says Lindsey McAleer, an S.O.S. Victim Advocate and senior studying health sciences and domestic violence prevention and services. “College campuses are filled with students who don’t understand where these lines can be drawn and it’s important to always ask for consent — drunk or not — especially when navigating the hook-up culture so prevalent in this day and age.” According to university policy, “Sexual conduct will be considered without consent if no clear consent, verbal or nonverbal, is given. This includes

situations in which an individual’s ability to consent freely is taken away by another person or circumstance,” such as alcohol or drug consumption. According to Delaware law, consent cannot be given when one is “mentally incapacitated,” thus sexual activity when drunk is sexual assault. This is not to say that it is impossible to consent while drunk, but rather it is up to the individual asking for consent to understand if a person is physically and mentally capable of making a clear and informed decision. Constant communication with a partner is essential in ensuring that consent is being given. The complication around alcohol and consent should not be a factor in a victim choosing whether or not to report and pursue support. When a person comes forward for medical, legal and emotional support, they will not be penalized for reporting intoxication or underage drinking, as the university provides Alcohol Amnesty to survivors of sexual misconduct. A victim’s first priority should be getting the services they need. Being drunk is not an excuse for not getting consent, nor is it an excuse for being assaulted. An S.O.S. Victim Advocate can be reached 24/7 at (302) EMILY MOORE/THE REVIEW 831-1001 (press 1). S.O.S. enables university students to provide support to survivors of sexual assault.

Intoxication: One man’s crim e is another man’s innocence MADELINE MCGHEE Staff Columnist

D

r. Christine Blasey Ford claimed that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was heavily intoxicated when he allegedly sexually assaulted her. According to former classmates and friends of Kavanaugh, his alcohol consumption during high school and college was falsely understated by Kavanaugh during his hearing. Underage drinking at parties is so common that when we hear about a young white boy participating, more often than not, it is considered to be a very minor infraction. In early September, twenty-six-year-old Harding University graduate Botham Jean was shot and killed in his apartment by local police

officer and resident Amber Guyger. Mistaking Jean’s apartment for her own, Guyger alleges that she believed him to be an intruder in her apartment and shot him. Though she has altered her story more than once, Guyger has alleged that this was an unintentional mistake. Regardless of the clear confession and undeniable injustice of his murder, the local police department searched Jean’s home and car rather than those of his murderer. This same department publicly released the discovery of a small amount of marijuana in Jean’s possession, as is so often done to justify the unwarranted death or assault of black men. Kavanaugh has been accused of attempted rape while intoxicated, though his actions and behavior were repeatedly excused by the same senators who voted him into the highest

court in the United States. Jean was not under any kind of substance influence when he was shot, nor was he ever arrested or accused of a crime except his mere possession of marijuana, unknown to the officer who killed him, has been used to justify his senseless death and smear his character. It is normalized for high school and college boys to break the law and drink to the point of blackout on multiple occasions, but finding marijuana on the property of a non-violent man with no criminal record is so reprehensible that we can excuse the brutality of his murderer. In mid-August, prior to the death of Jean, Mohamed Sayem was allegedly assaulted by police officers for sleeping while intoxicated in his car, according to Sayem’s attorney Scott Sanders. While he was not driving under the influence,

this was reason enough for a California police officer to drag him out of the car and beat him, claiming that Sayem was violent and belligerent. This behavior is not apparent in the dash-cam footage recording of the altercation and it is refuted by Sayem and his lawyers. In the dash-cam footage it does appear as though an officer repeatedly punches Sayem in the face and at the end of the altercation after Sayem asked if the officers were going to shoot him, one of them can be heard replying “I’d like to.” The cushioned sentence of the Brock Turner case in 2016 was based on the “severe impact” the judge in question believed a harsh sentence would have on Turner’s life. Though several witnesses saw the attempted rape, the judge claimed that alcohol “is a factor that, when trying to assess moral culpability in this

situation, is mitigating.” White men are repeatedly excused for drunken behavior. Harmless party fun that “everyone does” in college is expected behavior. This narrative, however, is only ever used to defend the actions of one privileged demographic while villainizing any others who partake. Had Blasey Ford been heavily intoxicated on this alleged night, there would likely have been talk about how she was irresponsible and was “asking for it.” Non-violent Black men who are approached by law enforcement while intoxicated are, in our society, asking to be killed or violently persecuted by police officers. Our media and our justice system constantly seek to exonerate young white boys for their bad behavior and criminalize the mere existence of black people.

Abstaining at a party school FRANCISCA MORENO Staff Reporter

T

his past year The Princeton R e v i e w ranked the university as the No. 1 party school in the country. The ranking is determined by a number of factors, including beer and liquor consumption, popularity of fraternities and sororities and drug use. Even so, how does this finding affect students who choose not to drink? According to “Alcohol Edu,” a program the university requires incoming students to take, 33 percent of incoming students have not

drank alcohol the year prior to coming to the university. Catherine Canning, a senior at the university, reflects on her ability to be someone her friends can rely on if they decide to go out. “For me, I don’t like the taste, nor what it leads to — I don’t feel the need to alter my state of mind,” Canning says. “It’s not like my parents have been particularly strict, or that it’s against the law and I couldn’t, but it’s just a choice.” The Student Code of Conduct acknowledges that students are going to drink, but its main point is to drink responsibly. It also provides an amnesty policy, so

that students will hopefully be more encouraged to help someone who may be medically in danger. “If it’s something you enjoy and you like to do socially, then do it safely,” Canning says. For students like junior Madison Christian, there is no choice on whether or not they drink. She, like many other students, refrains from drinking to protect her physical well-being. “It’s because I don’t think it’s fun and I have an intolerance so I get really sick,” Christian says. Christian says she doesn’t mind the campus’ party culture, but that she tries to ignore it. She involves

herself in other activities such as marching band as a way to stay engaged on campus without drinking. “The best way is to not put yourself in any situations that involve it,” Christian says on how she abstains from drinking. E m i l y Hodgkins, a junior at the university, explains that she has a genetic condition that prevents her from drinking. Hodgkins says her condition gives her a low tolerance to alcohol and that she tends to get sick easily. She says the best way to stay away from drinking is to get involved in activities on campus. “Surround yourself with people who also

abstain from drinking alcohol, participate in activities that don’t have to do with that [drinking],” Hodgkins says. “They shouldn’t take their peers’ opinions into account for their own decision — that shouldn’t have to be a huge pressure on them.”

FRANCISCA MORENO/THE REVIEW Hodgkins find options to abstain from binge drinking, even at a well-known “party school.”

Mosaic tries something new: Drunk haikus GRACE MCKENNA Professional Haiku Lover In the spirit of Mosaic’s DRUNK issue and as a professional lover of haikus, I took it upon myself to write haikus while drunk. What follows is a night’s work. Homecoming Sixteen, thirty-four thirty-six. Yes I know how to watch The Football. Cold There are five fingers in these cozy black mittens. Also, alcohol.

SAMANTHA FORD/THE REVIEW Overheard outside Grotto’s on Thursday, 1:05 a.m.

Hidden How is there alcohol, you ask? Well, there is a secret compartment. Sorority Sometimes, family. For a family too far away from here. Cute. Thoughts on Haikus It is really hard to count five, seven, then five with sangria in hand. Tailgating Little blond people smile at me and say that I’m always welcome here. :)

The Barn Not really sure why this seems so appealing to me, although it is.

Plants Five little cacti sit on my windowsill, still. Taunting my brown thumb.

Halloweekend A good way to minimize drunken mistakes is by combining 2.

20 Honestly was my age of enlightenment, I miss the good old days.

Halloweekend cont’d Holidays into one weekend, but I’m not sure it’s working too well.

Friendships Usually require people to stay in contact with each other, yeah?

Juice Fruit dangles in juice like some people dangle their sadness in the air.

Trees Little red gardens

Intelligence Is it really necessary for you to tell me, again, you’re smart?

Stubbed toes Worse than the time you walked into her, by the pole. worse every time.

Dialogue Occurs between me and her, thank you for asking. Get away from here.

Colors Red is a symbol of power. No wonder we are blue and yellow.

Fanny Pack A convenient way to pretend I am not the biggest mom friend. Poetry It’s not writing love And dreams and hopes and feelings.

More thoughts on Haikus The art of writing drunk comes from not correcting All of yoru mistake.

SAMANTHA FORD/THE REVIEW Overheard outside Jimmy John’s on Tuesday, 11:15 p.m.

Mountain Dew Is not a very delicious drink to dirnk, but It gets the job done.

It’s expressing them. Yes1 Pease! I would love some more Sangria, but maybe it’s Not the best choice now.

With the warm New Zealand spring breeze comes exam season JESSICA SHIH Study Abroad Columnist

It’s late October in the Southern Hemisphere, and for New Zealanders, this means the onset of tropical temperatures. But warm weather isn’t only what’s in season. Final exam season has arrived, and with less than a month before the Auckland World Scholars conclude their study abroad semester, they’d love nothing more than to spend their remaining days outdoors experiencing as much adventure as time permits. And especially since it’s springtime, thoughts of swimming at the city’s beaches and tramping — the Kiwi term for “hiking” — through the mountainous South Island seem all the more alluring. But so long as exams exist, students cannot treat the rest of the semester as an island vacation. While there appears to be no avail for the Auckland World Scholars, what many don’t know is that this particular bunch will always find a way to celebrate their last hurrah, even within the confines of campus. For instance, one groupmate decided to host an end-of-the-semester, nodiscussion-of-academicsallowed sleepover and invite four others (including me) using The Office-themed invitations. Each with an image of Dwight Schrute

and Gabe Lewis dishing dirt about their coworkers over the phone, as evidenced by the caption “We gossiped all night!” underneath. And that’s all well and funny, but when there are five adults trying to get comfy for the night in a studio-sized dorm, my sense of humor doesn’t extend quite that far. Maybe I’m just being a recluse, but I opted out of staying over. Everyone else seemed more adaptive to this environment, so I watched them squabble over their makeshift beds for the night: who would stake their claim atop the desk, who’d claim the space underneath it, who would remain underneath the bed (mind you, there’s only about one foot between the bedframe and the ground), and who’d sleep on the floor between said desk and bed. Basically, everyone was too humble to admit they wanted to sleep in the actual bed. To make up for not sleeping over, I bought everyone a Japanese fluffy cheesecake. With the other festivities going on — the sleeping situation, the additional snacks and the musicalstyle film we whisper-sang the song numbers to (there’s currently an excessive noise ban in effect since everyone’s studying for exams) — it laid forgotten in the fridge. Luckily, we remembered the next evening, so we held an impromptu dessert time in our building’s common

area. Due to the noise ban, we hand-signalled to figure out how to cut the cheesecake into fifths, one for each of us. Unfortunately, we ended up with eight slices instead of the aspired five. We stifled our laughter since there were others studying around us, but we still got odd looks. And who wouldn’t, especially when they’re witnessing five adults huddled on the communal couch at 7:30 p.m., doubled over in breathless laughter as they hold a wackily-cut cheesecake? It was a surreal moment, but it took our minds off of the looming exams. Plus, it’s cheesecake; no matter how much you botch the slicing process, you can’t just turn down something that delicious. So although the Auckland World Scholars have been living up to their “Scholar” title in recent weeks, they’ll leave behind a refreshing legacy of how they maintained optimism and (most of) their integrity during academically trying times. And in some ways, to remind themselves to, well, be themselves in the face of exam season is an even more fulfilling journey than imaginable.

THE REVIEW

University community gathers for vigil in aftermath of anti-Semitic shooting CALEB OWENS Editor in Chief When Jesse Sattler, a Jewish student at the university, heard that 11 Jewish people were killed during worship at a Pittsburgh synagogue on Saturday, he was heartbroken. “When something like this happens, no matter who it is or what it is, it’s just really hard,” Sattler said. Sattler’s friend, Jonathan Kopf, also a Jewish student at the university, said the incident was a reminder that no place — even areas known to be quiet and peaceful, such as the Squirrel Hill neighborhood in Pittsburgh, where the shooting occurred — is completely safe, and that any synagogue could face similar horrors. Yet, none of this stopped these students, community members, local religious leaders and Delaware politicians from gathering on The Green on Sunday afternoon for a vigil to reflect on the loss of the 11 people killed in Pittsburgh. The shooting is being considered the most violent anti-Semitic act in U.S. history and has spiked tensions across the nation, occurring within the larger trend of mass shootings that have plagued the country.

MINJI KONG/THE REVIEW The shooting occurred amid a vitriolic election season as midterm elections near, just after pipe bombs were delivered to prominent critics of President Donald Trump this past week. The suspect, Robert Bowers, 46, killed 11 and injured six with an AR-15 rifle — the weapon of choice among many mass shooters — acting on what his online activity has revealed to be a series of anti-Semitic

and anti-immigration conspiracy theories. The university, with a Jewish student population of nearly 13 percent, faced a different antiSemitic incident nearly a year ago, in which an anti-Semitic poster connected to a white nationalist group was found outside of Kirkbride Hall. At the time, the administration faced criticism for its response, which many considered inadequate. In response to the Squirrel Hill shooting, President Dennis Assanis delivered a letter to the student body via email this afternoon, offering support and advertising the vigil. “On behalf of the whole University of Delaware, I want to extend our sincere condolences to all those families and friends affected by this horrific and divisive act, including members of our own UD community who are of the Jewish faith,” the letter stated. The letter proceeded to delineate the university’s commitment to inclusivity and creating a “safe and supportive environment” for all members of the university community.

The email included a hyperlink to the “UD Values” webpage. According to Sattler, the university’s response to yesterday’s shooting has been commendable. He noted the sense of security at the event and appreciated the opportunity to join with the local Jewish and campus communities in solidarity. The vigil featured appearances by numerous local rabbis, who stressed a message of resilience and unity. Rabbi Nick Renner, a senior Jewish educator at the university’s Hillel Kristol Center for Jewish Life, recalled a recent conversation with a student whose hometown suffered a school shooting. “Yesterday I reached out to him, and in the course of connecting with him, I remarked that we had just had this conversation,” Renner said. “And, in a tragic sense, at some level it’s also a Jewish conversation. Ours is a people that has known loss. We have known suffering at the hands of anti-Semitism.” U.S. Senators Chris Coons (D-Del.) and Tom Carper (D-Del.) spoke at the vigil, as did Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.) and Gov. John Carney. Both Blunt Rochester and Carper are up for reelection next week. Blunt Rochester paused at the podium before delivering a brief, emotional speech. “We are heavy hearted,” Blunt Rochester said. “We hear that term a lot, and I can tell

you that, what that feels like is to have a boulder on you to the point that you can’t breathe.” She stressed a message of unity and resisting the “weariness” that this incident and others have brought upon many, imploring the audience to resist hate and to “love thy neighbor.” “No exceptions,” Blunt Rochester said. “No exceptions. No exceptions.” Other speakers included local Catholic, Protestant and Islamic leaders, as well as other members of the Delaware Jewish community. Jewish songs and prayer were performed at the vigil. Hannah Greenberg, the lone student speaker and a student director at Hillel, appeared near the end of the vigil, reciting a poem written by Hannah Senesh, a poet and WWII paratrooper who died fighting for the British against Nazi Germany. While Jewish students in attendance noted the strength and support of the local community and cited reasons for optimism, insisting that moments like this make the Jewish community stronger, Kopf couldn’t help but think of darker connections to Nazi Germany. “I just really hope that this doesn’t become a trend,” Kopf said. “Because once this started in Europe, it just kept going on, and we need to make sure that this is a one-time thing.”

Del. Democrats out-fund-raise their Republican opponents in Senate and Congressional elections KATHERINE NAILS Managing News Editor As midterm election day approaches, candidates are facing mounting scrutiny surrounding their politics, personal lives and finances. Late last month, the Federal Election Committee (FEC) released reports on campaign finances. For Delaware’s candidates, funding ranges from nonexistent to decidedly robust. In both the 2006 and 2012 elections, the incumbent Democratic senate candidate Tom Carper significantly outfund-raised his opponents, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. This election cycle appears to follow the trend. From Jan. 1, 2017 through Sept. 30, 2018, Carper has raised around $2.87 million in total, with about $1.17 million of that coming from individual contributions and about $1.17 million from various corporate and nonprofit political action committees. Carper’s top individual donors include Erskine Bowles, the White House Chief of Staff from 1997-1998 and former president of the University of North Carolina. MetLife Chief Financial officer and Executive Vice President John McCallion and his predecessor John Hele also contributed significant donations as well as JPMorgan Chase’s Head of Federal Government relations, Jason Rosenberg.

WWW.UDREVIEW.COM

Carper’s top committee donor is the United Parcel Service (UPS). His website states that he works to “champion postal reform with the goal of protecting the U.S. Postal Service.” The National Education Association fund for children and public education has also given funds to Carper, and his education platform on his website is significantly more detailed than his opponent, Rob Arlett’s. Carper’s extensive list of donors also includes investment banking company UBS, Exelon, Aetna, Wine and Spirits Wholesalers, Community Oncology Alliance, American Nurses Association, Bank of America, Comcast and Laborer’s International Union of North America. Republican Challenger Rob Arlett’s funds look very different. According to the Federal Election Committee (FEC) finance report Arlett began receiving campaign contributions in April 2018, thus the totals for his campaign are based on a significantly shorter time frame. Since April 1, 2018, Arlet has raised just over $119,000 in total, with about $116,000 of that coming from individual contributions, and the remaining $2,950 from unspecified committees. While the FEC does not specifically list any of the committees that made

KIRK SMITH/THE REVIEW Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.)

donations, many of Arlett’s top individual donors are local business people. One of these donors is lawyer Thomas Neuberger of the Neuberger Firm who dropped out of the Delaware Attorney General race in Feb. 2018. Attorney and entrepreneur Alexander Pires, who ran against Tom Carper as an Independent in 2012 also contributed. The following are listed by the Center for Responsive Politics as having contributed to the Arlett campaign as businesses, but itemized FEC receipts indicate that contributions were made under the individual names of management and their families:

investment company Hudson Management, Insight Homes, paving contractor Greggo & Ferrara, Jim Parker Builder and Mid-Atlantic Electrical Services Inc. Many of Arlett’s donors appear to be Delaware-based businesses. This aligns with his website’s economic platform, which largely zeros in on the needs of small businesses. Democrats, it appear, have largely out-fund-raised their Republican opponents not only in the Senate race, but in the congressional race as well. Lisa Blunt Rochester, the Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives has raised around $1.2 million

as of Sept. 30 2018. Nearly $800,000 has come from committee contributions, while almost $370,000 was contributed by individuals. Top individual donations come from Jim Stewart, the CEO of advisory firm Epic Research, as well as Blue Cross Blue Shield Michigan senior executive Michele Samuels, founder of Jordan Real Estate Investments Wayne Jordan and president of Discover Financial Services Roger Hochschild. Like Carper, Rochester received funds from the National Education Association fund for children and public education. Her other top funders include The Home Depot, the Transport Workers Union, John Deere, the National Beer Wholesalers Association, KPMG and E.I. Du Pont De Nemours. Neither the FEC or the Center for Responsive Politics appear to have any information pertaining to her opponent Scott Walker’s finances.


Opinion: An outsider’s perspective in defense of the administration In recent weeks, The Review has published multiple editorials and opinion pieces that have taken unfair and uninformed attacks at the university’s trustees and administrators. Having spent numerous hours with these “untrustable” leaders that the school’s paper has tirelessly attempted to smear, we, as the student body presidents for the classes of 2018 and 2019, would like to set the record straight. Certain Review staff members don’t seem to remember the university prior to Nancy Targett serving as interim president and refuse to recognize the many improvements to student involvement in major decisions that have occurred since President Dennis Assanis first came to campus. A common complaint found in the opinion section is that university administrators just don’t care what students think, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Last year, Natalie Criscenzo became one of the only undergraduate students to ever serve on a high-level search committee for a new provost. Once finalists were chosen, a group of undergraduate and graduate students were convened

to evaluate each candidate and give their recommendations to the president. This year, with an ongoing search for a new vice president of student life, Kevin Peterson was asked to serve on the search advisory committee. This time, an open offer was extended to students to meet the VP finalists. While this latest execution of involving students was not ideal, they certainly are making far more of an effort than the past, and the administration is consistently listening to input on how they can do a better job in the future. Not only is the administration constantly berated, but lately the Board of Trustees has also come under fire. The trustees, ridiculed in a recent editorial for lacking any interest in student concerns, have on many occasions sought our input to make certain that student interests come first. Furthermore, The Review’s editorial fails to mention the seat on the Board of Trustees reserved for a recent graduate, who is selected every two years, ensuring that students are heard. As for why only members of the Student Government

Natalie Criscenzo (above) & Kevin Peterson (below)

Association (SGA) are chosen to represent student views at trustee meetings, we are there because that’s the purpose of an elected student government. Just recently, Peterson made a point of gaining insights from students at September’s meeting of the Counsel of Student Leaders — a meeting that The Review decided not to attend — to bring up at the trustees’ retreat. Similarly, SGA members often take suggestions from UDecide, an open online forum for all university students, directly to the trustees. Instead of complaining about the trustees, why not encourage students to talk to their student government — the only students who already have a seat at the table? For the first time, through immense effort in building relationships with the trustees, SGA spoke at the retreat and has been allocated time on committee meeting agendas. Last week’s mockery by the editor in chief of the university’s latest ad campaign compelled us to

rebut the never-ending cynicism. The subject of the piece, as with many before it, was the university’s “propaganda,” aimed at converting the university into a Big 10 university, a sentiment that we have publicly spoken to. Students have complained that the Delaware First mission disregards some of the qualities of campus that students love most. The substance of an accurate assessment, though, is lost in the overblown critiques. At the same time, student athletes, who have felt neglected in the past, finally feel heard, which often goes unacknowledged by The Review. A role of any student newspaper is to hold campus leaders accountable, but that should also include the newspaper itself; without a high standard of integrity, there can be no credibility. Kevin Peterson is a senior at the university and the current Student Body President. Natalie Criscenzo is a graduate student at the university and former Student Body President (2017-2018). They can be reached at kpnj@udel.edu and nataliec@ udel.edu, respectively.

A letter from the president & provost President Dennis Assanis and Provost Robin Morgan recently received a letter from faculty members who are concerned about media reports regarding a potential rollback of federal legal protections for transgender people. In response, President Assanis and Provost Morgan shared the following statement with the faculty.

At the University of Delaware, we are committed to building a campus community that reflects the rich and complex diversity of the human experience, and this includes transgender and non-binary individuals. As a community, we work diligently to nurture a welcoming culture where everyone can express themselves fully and without fear of discrimination or exclusion. As an institution of higher learning, we are dedicated to the ideals of

personal freedom, free speech and free inquiry, and we must always live out those ideals with civility and respect toward one another. You can read our values statement at www.udel. edu/values. Gender identity, gender expression and sexual orientation are all protected under the university’s nondiscrimination policies. We will always enforce our policies, uphold our values and work to protect students, faculty and staff from discrimination. In addition, the university will reach out to Delaware’s congressional delegation, and we will continue to monitor the situation regarding a potential change to federal policy. Our values are essential elements of our fundamental mission as a university. Faculty, staff and students are indispensable members of our community who provide the

guidance and inspiration that drives our excellence. No one should feel unsafe, unwelcome or cut off from the full UD experience. Available resources for those who would like to seek counseling or other support are listed below. In addition, our new Student Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Board is one initiative we have launched to engage with students around these issues. Every student at UD is valued because every student is part of our great tradition of scholars, stretching back 275 years and looking forward far into the future. The University’s Division of Student Life is in close contact with LGBTQ organizations on campus to ensure that students know about the support systems that are available to them, whether in the residence halls, the Center for Counseling and Student Development or other

offices. Ultimately, it is up to all of us — every student, faculty member and staff member — to live out these shared values through daily interactions with each other and the rest of society. We are proud to be part of a community that upholds this culture of respect and inclusion. Resources available to students, faculty and staff:

DELAWARE KNOCKS OFF NO. 10 TOWSON IN THRILLING FASHION DANIEL ZABORSKY Senior Reporter

Delaware battled back in an exciting 40-36 homecoming victory over nationally ranked CAA rival No. 10 Towson. “We didn’t do anything right in the first half. Literally, we did not do a darn thing right,” Head Coach Danny Rocco said. “We had guys in good position who just couldn’t make a play, they were beating us to the ball.” Delaware truly couldn’t do a darn thing right during the first half. Towson marched down and took a field goal on the first possession. The long snapper Skyler Korinek sailed the ball over punter Nick Pritchard’s head and allowed Towson to redeem a safety. Towson sneaked in a field goal as time expired as a result of a crafty kickoff return, following a time-consuming, 13-play drive by Delaware. The Tigers nickeled and dimed their way to an 18-6 advantage to close the first half. Special team woes plagued the Blue Hens all day long. Two snaps over Pritchard’s head spotted Towson nine points, following a safety and a seven

Kani Kane slammed Towson’s defenders for 68 yards and two touchdowns. Pat Kehoe tossed four touchdowns and 305 yards with a 56 percent completion rate.

DeJoun Lee made a 47-yard return to place the offense on Towson’s 36-yard line. The offense took control with 2:01 left in the game and marched down the field. Joe Walker had two big receptions of ten and sixteen, then Kehoe fired it to Papale in the right corner of the end zone for the game-clinching score. Delaware snapped Towson’s five-game winning streak and broke the team’s stranglehold on the erence. The Blue Hens are averaging 37.2 points per game during their win streak, which only acts as insurance to their highly touted defense. These Blue Hens control their own destiny entering the latter portion of the season and look to secure their first playoff berth since 2010.
