As the university community reacts to recent oc-currences of harassment and hate crimes through-out the campus, the culture of DePauw’s greek system — that of fraternities in particular — has also been drawn into conversations about making De-Pauw a safer and more inclusive place.

But not everyone thinks it’s appropriate to blame fraternities for the recently turbulent climate on campus.

“What I think sometimes the newspaper and others perceive as a fraternity problem is really a campus problem,” said greek life coordinator Eric Wolfe ’04.

President Brian Casey stated that recent events have caused concern about the fraternity culture on campus, but he maintains the belief that there are various fraternity cultures on campus. The lack of “monoculture” in DePauw’s greek life makes it nearly impossible to pinpoint a single fraternity life.

“I think houses have different personalities ...

I’m not sure you can say ‘fraternity life’ and have it mean one thing,” Casey said. “I think there are very distinct fraternity lives here.”

As of Nov. 4, six of DePauw’s 10 Interfraternity Council fraternities are on probation, under review or under investigation.

“I think we’re at a time now when we’re seeing that a lot of them are under investigation,” Wolfe said. “I don’t know if there’s one particular thing that has caused that, just sometimes it happens out of coincidence that we have a lot that are in that situation at the same time.”

While at times there may not be any fraternities under investigation, Wolfe says the “feel” of wheth-er or not a chapter is in trouble is sometimes more significant than actual restrictions or penalties.

Senior Tyler Giesting, president of Sigma Chi fraternity, said it often seems that probations and investigations of fraternities on DePauw’s campus happen all at once.

CORRECTIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS

The article “Forum curbs tension, cre-ates potentional for resolution,” which ap-peared in the Nov. 8 issue of The DePauw missatributed Phi Kappa Psi fraternity presi-dent Paul Dugdale as saying:

“Yeah, we looked like a bunch of idiots out there, and I agree, I completely agree, but they got disqualified for it,” Dugdale said. “Is the main issue what happened at Greek God and Goddess? No, the main issue here is what happened to Taylor [Truster] and that’s what we should be talking about.”

The quotation came from an unidenti-fied individual sitting next to Dougdale.

Following two cases of vandalism, the university administration decided to cover the Boulder in plastic in order to hinder further efforts.

On Sunday, a group of individuals who have not been identified poured red paint on the boulder. With-in 30 minutes the paint was removed and the boulder returned to its normal state. Tuesday, another uniden-tified group recreated the act.

These instances led administrators to take preven-

tative measures against further vandalism. “They did that in an effort to keep it from being

defaced,” said Director of Public Safety Angie Nally. “They already had an incident where some red paint was poured on it, but they were able to wash it off and preserve the boulder, so they put plastic over it to keep anyone from vandalizing it.”

Executive Director of Media Relations Ken Owen said the administrators involved in the decision to cov-er the boulder thought the mixture of probable dark-ness at the time of attempted vandalisms and probable inebriation of culprits would keep them from noticing the plastic.

The Boulder was covered with a tarp to prevent vandalism. CHIP POTTER / THE DEPAUW

For the fourth consecutive year in a row DePauw has been featured in The “Chronicle of Higher Edu-cation” for being one of the top producers for U.S. Fulbright scholars.

In 2011 out of twenty-one applicants of who ap-plied four were accepted. 2011 graduates Ashlee Anton, Kyle Inman, Chelsea Jonason and Stephen Worden received the scholarship of last year.

Inman, who was just featured in “The Chronicle for Higher Education,” was one of the four students chosen nationally for the Fulbright-mtvU Fellowship program, which sends American students around the globe to study music and culture.

In 2010 there were two DePauw recipients of the Fulbright scholarship and in 2009 there were nine recipients.

English Professor Marnie McInnes said, “We are very pleased about DePauw being top national pro-ducer of Fulbrights.”

The Fulbright program is an opportunity for stu-dents and scholars to go overseas to undertake a graduate study, advance research or to teach Eng-lish at different levels of schooling. The program accepts 17,000 U.S. citizens to take part in the mul-tiple Fulbright programs around the world.

DePauw students have been successful in work-ing hard to be chosen for the Fulbright program and it displays the quality of academic work that these students strive to achieve.

“I think it’s a great accomplishment for DePauw and it’s students. It’s really wonderful that we’re tracking so many high quality students,” Professor of Economics and Management Humberto Barreto said.

McInnes added that the ranking shows that De-Pauw students can compete with other top universi-ties in the U.S.

DePauw has had many students interested in ap-plying for the Fulbright program and it can be seen that they have been successful in the past.

McInnes expects the university to continue to have success.

“We’ve been doing well across the board and I think we will surpass our very respectable number of four in years to come. Our applicants are prepar-ing hard and starting earlier,” McInnes said.

McInnes encourages students to apply early.“I always encourage sophomores and juniors to

think ahead about countries in which they’d like to do research or teach English as a Fulbright scholar,” McInnes said.

During a normal football game, four or five DePauw Public Safety officers roam the campus looking for inappropriate or illegal behav-ior. At the Monon Bell game, over 55 officers will patrol Blackstock Stadium and the surrounding area.

Director of Public Safety Angie Nally said that the additional security officers will cost DePauw approximately $15-17, 000.

Off-duty officers from the Greencastle Police Department, Contemporary Services Corpora-tion, T.L. Enterprises and DePauw Public Safety will be on duty over the weekend monitoring the game and the campus.

Nally said there will be off-duty officers patrolling the game and tailgate area. Nally also said the university hopes to offset the cost of security with parking fees in the Blackstock parking lot.

“There are a couple of different focuses that we have to think about: we have to think about traf-fic control, we have to think about

crowd control, we have to think about emergency e-graphs in case there is an emergency in the game, we have to think about behavior in the tailgate areas so each one of these people are assigned to different functions within the totality of this event,” Nally said. “It’s more than just a football game.”

Atheltic Director Page Cotton agreed that security is a priority for the Monon Bell game, especially as the Wabash-DePauw rivalry presents extra risk.

“It’s very important to have extra security at this game,” Cotton said. “Everybody is really charged up and as much as we worked to separate the crowd, safety is our first and main concern. We want to provide an environment that is safe for everybody so we take some steps to make sure we have as safe an environment as we can.”

Cotton said he hopes that students enjoy the game, though it presents a greater potential for violence than other football games.

“At the same time, we want people to have a good time,” Cot-

ton said. “We also want to make sure, from a liability standpoint, that the environment is safe.”

Both Nally and Cotton said that the security officers will try to separate fans based on school in order to prevent conflict.

“We have the Wabash fans and the DePauw fans separated out for tailgating so that they’re not right next to each other,” Cotton

said. “We found that is a good way for people to enjoy the tailgat-ing festivities which has become a American sports icon over the years.”

Nally said that this mentality has guided Public Safety’s actions since the 1990s, which is when safety of both sets of fans became increasingly problematic.

The DePauw | Friday, Nov. 11, 20114 | News


Over 30 students and faculty members filled the Andy Warhol exhibit Thursday seeking to meet the first of three candidates being interviewed for the position of curator of exhibitions and university collections.

The first candidate, Craig Hadley, walked the group through the collection explaining each piece and each piece’s connections to the rest

of the exhibition. The group of attendees filled out feedback surveys and rated Hadley on his performance.

Chairman of the committee seeking a new curator of exhibitions and university collections Michael Mackenzie said the process of having each candidate guide a tour through the new exhibit allows the committee to compare them.

“We try to make it as consistent as possible,” Mackenzie said. “And a really important part is that all three of them have to talk about this

show. And so, it’s like a science experiment — we’ve reduced the number variables so we can focus on the differences.”

The other two candidates will lead similar walk-throughs of the same gallery and will also be reviewed by faculty and students. The second candidate, Sara Cunningham, will lead her walk-through on Nov. 15, with the third candidate, Christian Cutler leading the final walk-through on Nov. 22. Students and faculty are welcome to attend and review candidates.

Mackenzie said the new curator must be able to interact with students and reach out to the community through art.

“The way that this person is going to talk to students is crucial,” Mackenzie said. “It’s one of the most important aspects of the job, not just what kind of shows they hang or can hang the pictures in a straight line and make it look good, but how are they going to interpret this work for our audiences? And the students are one of the most important audiences.”

An exhausted but still enthusiastic group of LBGTQ ad-vocates and supporters gathered Thursday in Peeler Audito-rium to learn about ways to inspire leadership and change on campus.

After a series of conversations and interactive activities guided by speakers Julia Sewell and Don Patterson, mem-bers of the group of 25 said they walked away with a stronger sense of self and a stronger impression of what they should impress onto others.

Sophomore Annelise Delcambre said she enjoyed the dis-cussion and learned how to tell her own story in a way that would appeal to others.

“I think that getting an outside perspective of anyone in the DePauw community was really good, because I think that everyone in the community right now is having a hard time of stepping back and seeing DePauw in the larger perspective, so I feel like that gave us a clearer head,” Delcambre said.

Freshman John Yates said the conversation helped him to feel re-inspired after weeks of anti-homosexual harassment and community-wide initiatives to change campus climate.

“It was much-needed inspiration and recovery because this whole process wears on you a little bit, so this was like a nice reflection,” Yates said.

Freshman Jonathan Reyes explained that Patterson was teaching the concept of power. Patterson said the amount of power equates to work divided by time. In order to greater power over another group, one group must reach more indi-viduals at a time than the other group.

“I think it’s important to know that someone can have all the potential, but if they don’t know how to harness it or if they don’t know how to let it out then it can’t result in ac-tion,” Reyes said. “He taught us that if you can’t let it out, and if you don’t work faster over time than someone, then they have the power over you.”

The discussion ended in a series of presentations with at-tendees responding to recent events on campus including singing, poetry and rapping.

Republican Lynda Dunbar, owner of Treasur-ers on the Square, defeated Democratic incum-bent Theresa Glenn by 183 votes, to become the new clerk treasurer for the City of Greencastle Tuesday.

Dunbar won majorities in six of the eight wards. She lost by one vote in one ward and tied in another.

Dunbar said she was confident that she had a good shot of winning.

“I own a business in town, so a lot of people know me and see how I run by business and

handle situations,” she said. “I also have a degree in accounting and a business background, which will be important to becoming city treasure.”

Democrat Jinsie Bingham also took pride in securing her second term representing the third ward on the city council. Bingham defeated her opponent, Jade Griffin, by 18 votes. She said she encouraged Greencastle residences to vote by making phone calls and going door-to-door, be-cause she knew people were less likely to do so after Mayor Murray and all the other city council positions were unopposed this year

“Its always a surprise to win, because I had no expectations for what was going to happen,” she said. “I’m just delighted to have this opportunity.”

Bingham said her motivation for running for

a second term was to assist with the Stellar Grant and continue the kind of services the city council offers to Greencastle community, such as leaf col-lections, streetlight construction and waste ser-vices, which, with various tax cuts have become a very intricate practice. Bingham has lived in Gre-encastle’s third ward all her of her life and consid-ers herself an asset to the community.

“It’s a wonderful thing to blend in [the stellar grant] for both the university and the commu-nity,” she said. “We worked together to win that grant, and this is the first time Indiana ever issued a grant like this.”

Dunbar also anticipates working on the stel-lar grant by implementing her accounting expe-rience when filling out paperwork and keeping

track of bills and payments. “One of my goals is to be able to do as much

work on [the grant] and to be as helpful as I can in one area,” she said. “I want to find a way to make things simpler and regulate how we spend taxpayers money.”

Dunbar decided to run for office when she moved back to Greencastle in 2002, after moving away when she went off to college. When she re-turned, she ended up running her own business, Treasures on the Square, and had an urge to in-volve herself in the city council.

“I love the city of Greencastle,” she said, “I grew up here, its a great place to live, and I plan to raise my kids here and become involved as much as possible.”

I know what you might think when Zelda Fitzgerald, wife of clas-sic writer F. Scott Fitzgerald, is men-tioned. You think of the debauched jazz-age golden girl who once drank champagne from her shoe and of the rebel who swam in flesh-colored bathing suits to feign skinny-dip-ping.

Or you might think of the schizo-phrenic locked up in sanitariums, who allegedly drove her husband to his ruin. You don’t think of the an-guished wife or of the independent writer punished by the soci-ety in which she lived. Many think of the myth, the legend and the symbol of Zelda.

After spend-ing fall break t r a v e r s i n g New York City with Scott’s “Ten-der is the Night” in one hand and Zelda’s “Save Me the Waltz” in the other, I’ve been thinking a lot about Zelda and her art. I’ve been think-ing about her entrapment in a world that wasn’t ready for her great and terrible love story. I’ve been think-ing about how the glamorous en-terprise of her marriage was played out on the international stage and about how seemingly everyone in her life stifled her art. She and Scott destroyed one another.

Is it really a love story? Scott and Zelda’s love letters are as romantic as they come, that much is true. It would take a fool not to recognize that their love — as desperate and destructive it was, it was love none-theless. But as much as I enjoy the legend of the grand, timeless ro-mance, I hardly think a marriage in which one member is powerless is a partnership, and I hesitate to call their despairing, terrible whirlwind a love story.

When Zelda was institutionalized in 1932, she spent six weeks writing “Save Me the Waltz,” a lush, evoca-tive novel crafted from the same material with which Scott was strug-gling in “Tender is the Night.”

Infuriated that she dare poach his material, he extracted a promise from his editor (to whom she had sent the manuscript) to prevent publication. When the matter was hashed out, Scott referred to her as a “useless society woman” and a “third-rate writer.”

Only after he threatened divorce did she capitulate, allowing a butch-ered version of the novel to be pub-lished with his edits. Scott even went so far as to lift entries from her di-

ary for inclusion in “Tender is the Night.” Zelda famously claimed, “Plagiarism starts at home.” Could that really be a love story?

They were beautiful and damned from the start

and they each burned so brightly that they snuffed the other out. But don’t get me

wrong, this isn’t a condemnation of Scott. This isn’t to suggest that he was a monster. On

the contrary, he worked and drank himself into an early grave in an en-deavor to finance Zelda’s frequent hospitalizations. There is a reason that he is a literary paragon and Zelda is not, though.

His writing is utterly iridescent and dazzling where hers occasion-ally stumbles. It is a talent to which I can only aspire. I don’t object to Scott’s success, but rather I object to the way it eclipses Zelda as an artist in her own right.

When I think of Zelda, I think not of decadence and destructiveness, but of a woman who was time and time again forbidden to find mean-ing in her life. I think of a woman determined to shape the life and art she wanted on her own terms. She sacrificed everything she held dear to have that: Her husband, her daughter and her sanity. I think that it’s time to stop seeing her as the schizophrenic party girl who lived in her husband’s shadow and finally give her the credit she deserves.

College students in today’s age can count on possessing two basic qualities: Being very technological and being very broke. With that, it is tough for some stu-dents to keep up with the continuous up-dates on software and programs. The high costs and fragility of these programs make matters more difficult for students as well.

Although there are similar services provided around campus, there are always simple complications in the means — whether that be price, effi-ciency or reliability of the service.

George Velazquez, a fresh-man Posse Scholar from Chi-cago, has acknowledged these problems and is actively working to serve the student body. As a member of ITAP, Velazquez has a broad and well-developed knowledge of technology and how to handle it’s many problems.

Velazquez is the CEO of ITS (Inte-grated Technology Services) For You, and has been since he founded the company in 2009 after working for his father’s com-pany, Integrisys. A technology solutions company, Velazquez helped Integrisys secure their network and worked on com-puter upgrades and technological system upgrades.

He started the company because of the obvious need in his community for af-fordable technology services. Technology has always been Velazquez’s passion and he has always had a deep desire to help others.

“I am a firm believer that if you do what you love, you will never work a day in

your life,” Velazquez said. “I love technol-ogy and wanted to use my skills to provide services to my community.”

After spending significant time work-ing at the Help Desk as a part of his ITAP rotation work, Velazquez developed good

relations and connections on cam-pus. When the Help Desk is un-

able to cover a technological repair due to a student’s lap-top being out of warranty or not being purchased through

the school, the student is quickly referred to ITS For You.

Velazquez has already helped numerous stu-

dents on cam-pus, including

f reshman Brian Austin.

Austin had troubles with his MacBook Pro — besides it’s inability to start up Skype, he was also unable to get any Inter-net connection and would experience a whole computer shut down after pressing the backspace key repeatedly.

He contacted ITS For You, and after a few computer update scans, his laptop was up and running.

“I could not have been happier with the service provided by ITS For You. It was quick and easy and George even of-fered tips to prevent my computer from crashing again,” Austin said.

Freshman Maura Ruppert has asked Velazquez for help with technological damage as well.

Ruppert had dropped her new phone,

cracking the screen in half and keeping it from turning on. Velazquez was able to take apart the phone, apply a new screen and get the phone fully working.

Senior Vince Aguirre agrees that Velazquez’s business is reliable and afford-able.

“ITS For You is the best around. I would have no problem referring a friend,” Aguirre said.

After experiencing first hand the ex-pensive costs that bigger companies de-mand for repairs, Velazquez decided to make his company known for affordable and reasonable prices for quality service.

“Customers deserve the best qual-ity service for a great, affordable price,” Velazquez concluded.

Though Velazquez is a self-taught expert with computers and phones, he knows how to fix and handle a wide ar-ray of technological items. On his website, www.its-foryou.com, the listed provided services include Macintosh and Windows computers, mobile phones, printers, net-working and television and video.

Additionally offered help includes up-dates and scans from the company web-site, its-foryou.com. These programs are sponsored and adaptable both for Micro-soft programs and through McAfee sup-port. As college students struggle to find time in their busty schedules for software updates and repairs, ITS For You might become a more important and wide-spread resource on campus.

“I don’t know what it is,” Giesting said. “Honestly it probably fits with the change in leadership.”

Giesting said that new leaders might be more mindful and aware of potential mistakes if a chapter undergoes probation at the begin-ning of a new leadership. Transitions, Giesting said, are important in maintaining strong fraternity organizations. He sees it as the role

of Campus Living and Community Development to help with this and continue to upgrade the standard of socializing for these new leaders.

Some of the efforts that Campus Living and Community Develop-ment plans to make in order to best prepare and train the members of the IFC community include new member education training, by-stander intervention work and facilitated discussions involving con-troversial and dangerous campus occurrences.

DePauw’s new website, set to launch next month, will include a revamped section that will provide more information about hazing, a topic about which members often have questions.

“I think it’s always concerning when we have chapters participat-ing in unsafe behavior,” Wolfe said.

He hopes that the efforts the university is taking will help pre-vent potentially unsafe environments.

Wolfe said that issues some chapters might struggle with, al-though they differ by chapter, include academics, drug use and risk management.

“And another chapter, I think, hadn’t really engaged in a philan-thropy event before, and so [we’re] creating a new culture within their chapter about service and philanthropy,” Wolfe said.

Wolfe hopes DePauw’s greek system will pro-duce members who work toward the betterment of their local com-munity as well as their much larger community — na-tionally and glob-ally.

“Really I think the role for our fraternity and so-rority community is to develop young leaders that are community-minded [and] focused on values,” Wolfe said. “They’re values-based organizations. So their role to me is to look at their values and bring those to the forefront.”

Wolfe says leadership has always been difficult for DePauw stu-dents since the majority of them are very overcommitted and aca-

demically engaged, which he encourages. The responsibility of be-ing a chapter leader is a huge commitment, and it can be difficult to balance the different interests pulling at a leader.

As the greek system thinks about elections and transitioning leadership around this time of year, Wolfe says there is a constant struggle and it’s important to look at the new leaders and see to it that they move the greek community forward.

Jeff McCall ‘76, professor of communication and theatre, sees leadership as an important issue to address in DePauw’s greek cul-ture today. McCall, whose fraternity Lambda Chi Alpha no longer has an active chapter on DePauw’s campus, has been a part of the faculty at DePauw for 26 years.

“One of the things I think has really hurt the Greek system is that the university went out and created a bunch of duplexes and what were supposed to be autonomous living units,” McCall said. “And what that has done is lured a lot of upperclass greeks out of the greek houses. And when I was in school here myself the leaders in all the greek houses were the seniors. And think of how few seniors now live in their own greek houses.”

McCall said he thinks it must be more difficult for greek houses to manage themselves when the seniors, the most mature members with the most experience at the university, are no longer amidst the chapter on a day-to-day basis.

While he sees it as important to create a cohesive campus com-munity, McCall said that isolating seniors in living units on the edge of campus could create rifts in the community overall.

“Do we want seniors segregated from the rest of campus?” Mc-Call said. “Do we want the seniors bonding with themselves and not lending their leadership or their collegiality or their wisdom to sophomores or juniors, whether in the dorms or in the greek houses?”

According to McCall, when he attended DePauw in the 1970s the dormitories operated more like greek houses. The dorms had their own officers, social activities and intramural teams.

“I think there needs to be an effort for the people who are not in [greek] houses to feel like they’re more part of the DePauw culture too,” McCall said of current greek-independent interaction.

Casey also stated that a divide he sees is greek-affiliated students distinguishing themselves from independents.

McCall said he questions why dormitories currently don’t have their own teams for events like Little 5 or why they don’t organize

their own philanthropy events. Also in the ‘70s, McCall said it was “no big deal” to be greek at De-

Pauw. Unlike at some larger, state universities, McCall distinguishes DePauw’s greek life from potentially elitist and snooty attitudes among greeks at other universities.

“The fact 70-plus percent of students are affiliated with greek life is thought of by many students as simply an ordering system rather than an elite system,” Casey said. “Because it’s so common, it’s not a big deal.”

While this may still be the case, McCall said he encounters many faculty who don’t have a lot of experience with greek systems gen-erally or who assume DePauw’s greek system is synonymous with that at other universities, when it is really quite unique.

This misunderstanding, Mc-Call said, may be part of what cre-ates potentially negative images and stereotypes against the greek system at DePauw.

“There’s plenty of ruckus and irresponsible behavior in the dor-mitories, but nobody says, ‘Well, we’ve got to close Humbert be-cause they’ve had this misbehav-ior over there in recent weeks,’” McCall said. “But when there’s misbehavior in a greek house, it’s not that uncommon for folks to say, ‘Well that house shouldn’t be allowed to continue.’”

Senior Mitchell Turnbow, president of IFC, has had to deal with people questioning IFC’s role on DePauw’s campus.

“Since I’ve been on campus, IFC hasn’t had a great reputation,” Turnbow said. “So [we’re] trying to better our name and make sure we’re doing the things that we’re supposed to.”

Vice President for Student Life and Dean of Students Cindy Babington said she sees the negative news about the fraternity sys-tem publicized much more than the more abundant positive aspects.

“You’re always scrutinized,” Giesting said. “Somebody’s going to always be trying to scrutinize you ... Waiting for you to kind of slip up, I think. But perception is reality. It’s more or less true. So you do have to be mindful of your perception and your image. Not that it should control you or anything. But it’s important how you pres-ent yourself. You’re ambassadors for the outside world and ambas-sadors for DePauw.”

McCall, who thinks it’s unfortunate that greek chapters don’t receive attention for the many positive things they bring to cam-pus, said that greek houses should do more to market themselves and talk about what they do well, being sure to make their positive works and efforts known.

“But, I think they also have to behave themselves and look in-trospectively to say, ‘What are the kinds of things we’re doing that maybe call negative attention to ourselves,’” McCall said.

Working with DePauw’s fraternity system as a greek life coor-dinator, rather than as a student, has helped Wolfe see different elements of the culture.

“I was president of my organization, too, so seeing it from that view of course then we were doing a lot of things really well and everything was doing great,” Wolfe said. “I think that a lot of that has to do with perception, too. So sometimes when we’re in those roles we perceive that our organization is a really awesome organization when really there are a lot of things to work on.”

The issues in need of attention from the DePauw fraternity sys-tem, Wolfe said, are the same issues it was working to address 10 years ago. As members cycle through the system they are continu-ally in need of education and guidance.

“Any organization has to continually evolve to be able to sur-vive,” Babington said in an email. “Since fraternities on DePauw’s

campus have a long history overall, they may not be as nimble as newer organizations.”

“I think what IFC would like to make sure everyone understands is that we have noticed the same things everybody else is noticing,” Turnbow said.

IFC is taking steps to improve the effectiveness, safety and inclu-sivity of the fraternity culture at DePauw in order to make sure that all students can participate in and enjoy greek life.

“I think that’s what’s so great about this campus is that people are willing to talk and people are willing to listen,” Turnbow said.

Although IFC is addressing ways to improve fraternity life at DePauw, Turnbow does not see these considerations as a threat to the overall health of DePauw’s fraternity life.

“The most positive part is definitely how great our greek system is,” Turnbow said. “I think sometimes we miss how great it is because we don’t see other systems.”

Giesting, too, sees a bright future for greek life at DePauw so long as the university can continue to foster and support a relationship with the greek system.

“There was a time in De-Pauw’s history where the greeks felt like they were under-appre-ciated by the university administration,” McCall said. “And I think whenever you feel like you’re at odds or under pressure from the administration, it’s going to cause you to draw in and maybe be more defensive and maybe not as cooperative with the rest of the university community if you need to be.”

Over the past 20 or 25 years, McCall said, DePauw has had an “awkward” relationship with its greek system. But he sees the greek system as having a lot to contribute to the campus community and hopes that DePauw and the greek system can work together to focus more on their positive efforts instead of worrying on micromanaging and over-regulating social events.

While Giesting said that it sometimes feels like the university

micromanages the actions of fraternity chapters, he knows the uni-versity is trying to do what is in the best interest of its students. The culture, Giesting said, is changing. But he sees most of that change for the better and part of a more progressive community.

“I’m not looking for a perfect world, perfect fraternity, sorority community,” Wolfe said. “I just don’t think that that’s going to hap-pen. I think we can be better in those areas that I mentioned before in terms of our culture.”


“There’s plenty of ruckus and irresponsible behavior in the

dormitories, but nobody says, ‘Well, we’ve got to close Humbert because they’ve had this misbehavior over there in recent weeks. But when

there’s misbehavior in a greek house it’s not that uncommon for folks to say, ‘Well that house shouldn’t be

allowed to continue.’”

CHIP POTTER / THE DEPAUW


When we all first committed to come to De-Pauw, we earned one huge packet the size of

a telephone book, which included every paper one would have to fill out before coming to campus in the fall.

Among the papers in that packet was a nice lit-tle pamphlet outlining DePauw’s “laptop require-ment.” This requirement was as follows, “all students entering DePauw are required to purchase a designated DePauw program lap-top and a software/service bundle through the DePauw Student Laptop Program.”

Sounds fair. But what laptops were available as options? The class of 2015 was offered five devices. We had the MacBook Pro, with either a 15- or 13-inch screen, Dell Latitude and Inspiron and the HP Tablet PC. Among these options is not one computer that costs less than $1,000.

Considering you can walk out of Best Buy with a brand new laptop under $1,000, I’m left wondering if students really need a laptop

from that list. I know of several students who have not pur-

chased their laptops through the university and have not had any problems. All the software and programs needed on their computer for classes have been compatible with a computer not on the

list.Furthermore, they saved a lot of money

by not buying a “top of the line” laptop that they may only use for four years.

Also, as ridiculous as it may sound, does everyone here need a laptop? De-

Pauw says yes. According to the DePauw web-

site, “a core component of … in-corporating technology into teach-ing and learning is our Student Laptop Program. The program

… supports their DePauw learning experience and enables their professors to

most effectively make use of technology in the classroom.”

None of the professors in whose classes I am

currently enrolled allow laptops in class. Thus, in my personal experience, I rarely use my computer in the classroom. Is this element really as crucial as it sounds?

If I needed to write a paper, I could easily walk over to Roy O. West and type it there. I could check my ever-so-vital email there, too. Print out slide-shows? Check. Post documents on Moodle? Done. I understand that DePauw just wants to prepare us as well as possible, but after 11 weeks in my classes, I’ve found that I could complete every assignment using a computer in any DePauw library.

I realize that there are many more classes that require more heavy-duty technology, but not ev-eryone is taking those classes. So why does every-one need a required laptop to attend college in the present day?

I knew getting a laptop for college was probably a step I was going to take, but I had no choice. It was a requirement.

Remember when Mrs. Johnson taught you about peer pressure and bullies in kindergarten? Don’t act like your teacher’s name wasn’t Mrs. Johnson — every teacher was called Mrs. Johnson.

“Bullies are just small people that get joy out of hurting you. Don’t let them get the best of you.”

Or, “Just because everyone’s saying you should do it, doesn’t mean you should. You’re your own person.”

Or what about, “If Putnam County Hospital decides you need an X-ray because you have a black eye and keeps you waiting for three hours, only to decide you don’t even need stitches, don’t let them.”

I have a confession. Unlike you lucky read-ers, I was never taught that last point. Though I did stand up to bullies by getting contact lenses. (They make you look cooler. Duh).

I managed to obtain an awesome black eye during a DePauw rugby match in early Octo-ber. It had a cut below it. Not Tyler-Durden-Fight-Club cut, just an, “Ouch, that hurt” scratch.

After the game, my teammates encouraged me to get it checked out because, and I quote, “Dude, you might need stitches.”

I went, despite the other advice like, “Don’t go, man. Just get a badass scar instead.” I head-ed over to Putnam County Hospital with my worried girlfriend and her father, continuing a

trend of having to go to the hospital whenever I am around her dad.

The one element of my experience at Putnam County Hospital that I did appreci-ate was the kind nurses, particularly their hats (which gave off a terrific World War II vibe). They were quite nice, and we ban-tered back and forth, not unlike Ben Af-fleck and Kate Beckinsale in Pearl Harbor (a truly horrible film).

But an hour later, I was still in a hospital bed and the blood had started up again. No one was around to place so little as a Spongebob Band-Aid on it.

Finally, the doctor ar-rived and declared that my eye should be cleaned. But wait, there’s more.

He then decided I needed an X-ray, be-cause the hit could have broken part of my skull, despite the fact that I felt virtually no pain, except for the uncomfortable feeling of air touching an open wound.

So I waited another half-hour, as my cut began to bleed more. Eventually, Rosie the X-ray technician placed me in a wheel chair, because eye injuries apparently cause you to lose the ability to walk, and took me over to be X-rayed.

The X-ray proved that there is indeed a

skull in my head, and it’s not broken. And, guess what? Forty minutes later, once they completely cleaned it up, they realized that

the slight scratch on my face was really just a slight scratch on my face.

After three hours of waiting, one X-ray, one decision that I didn’t even need stitches and half a dozen 1940s nurses staring at my black

eye, I got to go home. And here’s the best part:

three weeks later, I received a bill for $1,200. Oh, but don’t worry. $500 was

covered by insurance. Great.

In a few years, when I’m famous or something,

I probably won’t care about this insanely large amount of money (because famous people are rich). But right now, I know not to go to Put-nam County Hospital. Remember what Mrs. Johnson said? Just because a doctor says it’s OK, doesn’t make it OK.

Mostly, I just hope my $1,200 dollars doesn’t go toward replacing those ridiculously large nurse hats.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Cost higher than bottled water demand Water shouldn’t be a commodityIn this Tuesday’s issue of The

DePauw, Catherine Napier wrote about how bottled water was in demand on campus, and as such, should be brought back. She stated that, “A growing number of students have started to voice their unhappiness [about the ban]…” but I find this statement to be largely untrue.

Sure, the lack of bottle water sales may be an inconvenience to some students on campus, but I haven’t heard enough complaints on campus to think that bottled water is in demand.

Even though I’m involved in sustainability efforts on campus now, I had nothing to do with the bottled water sales ban. However, I understand the importance of the ban and I have my own opinion as to why we should keep it.

First of all, bottle water is barely more than tap water put into a plastic bottle. Some bottling corpo-rations like Coke and Nestle filter the water that should be free and

available to everyone, but others merely take it out of the tap and sell it for profit. Water should be a basic human right, not a com-modity we pay for. Also, the bottles themselves are made of plastic (in other words, oil) that can never be fully recycled because they are degraded in quality each time. Not only have plastic manufacturing plants been linked with local en-vironmental and social injustices from their toxic waste and emis-sions, it just continues our depend-ence on fossil fuels.

I understand Catherine’s argu-ment about supply and demand, but when it comes to our bottled water ban on campus, more than basic economics needs to be taken into consideration. We committed to this ban for a reason and unless a strong student voice comes out against the ban, for at least right now, it’s here to stay.

Cooperation must continue between media outletsBetween the sports departments

of WGRE and D3TV last weekend, we were able to produce and bring to the worldwide web a live, quality broadcast of the DePauw-Albion football game.

To the writers of the editorial “Mag-ic box loses shine,” were you watching?

Your editorial and article kept refer-encing the fact that we at WGRE have only received $1,500 from Allocations Board, in addition to constantly re-minding us that The DePauw takes no money from the university.

It takes significantly more cash to run a television station when compared to other mediums. In addition, it takes even more cash to overhaul an organi-zation and finally bring it into the 21st century.

If there’s a perception that we at

WGRE are somehow against D3TV’s proposed purchase, it could not be more off base. Together, we can pro-vide Greencastle, the DePauw com-munity, as well as family and alumni all over the country with more live news, sports, concerts and events in a way that cannot be replicated without the new equipment.

Regardless of whether or not Alloca-tions Board approves the equipment, cooperation between media organiza-tions in the PCCM is at a high level for the first time in a while. This most re-cent football broadcast only provides a glimpse of the things to come. The changing landscape of media should require all three mediums within the PCCM to work together to provide our readers, listeners and viewers with the

best possible content.A famous line from the film “The

Field of Dreams” is, “If you build it, peo-ple will come.” Instead of questioning our peers’ dedication to their organiza-tion and passion, and whether or not D3TV will successfully utilize this “mag-ic box” (which is really just a standard piece of operating equipment for suc-cessful college TV stations), how about The DePauw jumps on board with the rest of campus and WGRE in support-ing a fellow media outlet’s attempt to improve itself and, as a whole, make our beloved school look better.

University values

Foster ‘one campus, one community’

We, as the Spiritual Life Council, are deeply saddened by the recent incidents on campus. The campus climate has always been advertised as “warm and welcoming.” DePauw prides itself on its close relationships among students, faculty and staff. These incidents, however, have cre-ated a time of hardship and hostility among the community. In the face of diversity, we have used harsh slander against one another. Our faith has been tested.

Nevertheless, we firmly believe that we can learn from our mistakes. As stated in the mission statement, “DePauw teaches its students values and habits of mind which serve them throughout their lives as each of them makes a positive differ-ence as an active citizen of the world.” We must move on from this time of hardship and make a positive change. We must evolve as a tolerant body to an accepting community. We must love one another regardless of race, gender, religion or sexual orientation. For the sake of DePauw’s future generations, we must emerge as a unified community and become the positive difference. We ask you to join us in supporting this commit-ment by wearing our “We Are the Positive Differ-ence” buttons.

Spiritual Life Council

A recent opinion article in The De-Pauw claimed, “a growing number of students have started to voice their unhappiness with the lack of bottled water.” As someone who is reasonably well informed on campus happenings and who attends monthly DSG assembly meetings, I have yet to see an organized group of students protesting the bottled water ban.

The article claims demand for a product necessitates its supply at some price. However, we also learn in eco-nomics that price should be reflective of all costs. The production and distribu-tion of bottled water produces a nega-tive externality from the waste these bottles generate and the fossil fuel re-sources required to transport the bottle to your hand. If bottled water should be sold again on campus, perhaps its new price should reflect the true cost of its convenience. The article suggests buy-ing bottled water at the Hub is more convenient than buying with out-of-pocket money. While this may be true, the article also suggests the choice to purchase bottled water is an economic,

environmental and ethical one. Thus, it seems contradictory to only buy from the Hub and not elsewhere with your own money. The article also fears allow-ing a bottled water ban would naturally lead to banning trashcans on campus or other green extremes. This slippery slope argument is a logical fallacy. The conditions and reasoning for banning bottled water – having appropriate alter-natives and the relative ease of using a refillable bottle – do not apply to remov-ing trashcans from campus.

I would propose an alternative com-promise. If a group of students can con-vince the rest of the university that the work students did for the bottled water ban – taste tests, discussion forums, critical analysis of peer-reviewed litera-ture and over 1,000 signed pledges from students, faculty and staff – is wrong and that bottled water is a necessity on campus whose demand outweighs its harms, then bring bottled water back. If not, it would seem bottled water should remain banned.

Imagine two budding flowers. One is planted in a large field full of sunlight, water and room to grow. The other is planted in between two tall trees lacking proper sunlight, water and room to grow. One flower blossoms into a beautiful rose while the other, stuck in the shadows, eventually withers and dies due to a lack of basic necessities.

Now picture the withered flower as one of your fellow students.

In light of recent occurrences on cam-pus, there has been an outcry from our fellow students who are forced to live in the shadows of life. Our community may have missed the broader issue at hand: Human rights. It’s bigger than a Cinco De Mayo facebook page and deeper than a crude t-shirt. Forums (like the one held Sunday), rallies and “No Hate” weeks fa-

cilitate conversation but unless we know the point of the conversation, things will never change. Students on our campus, as well people all over the world, are be-ing forced to live in the shadows of the dominant other. No person-- black/white, woman/man, gay/straight — should be deprived of basic human rights. If we are to achieve what ironically has become our campus slogan, “One Campus. One Com-munity,” we must somehow move out of the shadows of our narrowed views and give sunlight to all budding members of society. In the words of Malcolm X, “We need more light about each other. Light creates understanding, understanding creates love, love creates patience, and patience creates unity.”

Dear Members of the DePauw and Wabash Communities,

This Saturday, our two nationally recognized liberal arts colleges will meet on the football field for the 118th time. The annual Monon Bell Classic is a rite of fall on both campuses and for the alumni and friends of our institutions. It is special; it is something we all eagerly anticipate each November and talk about for years after.

For three hours this weekend, student-athletes from our two schools will engage in a game that will determine possession of the coveted Monon Bell for the next year. As we cheer and show pride for our respective colleges, we should also take time to celebrate the thing we share: a long history of educating people who have shaped their communities, their nations, and the world.

At Blackstock Stadium, DePauw fans will welcome their rivals from the north with hospitality and respect, and supporters of the Little Giants will embody the Gentleman’s Rule.

In thousands of households and establishments across America, alumni of our two great schools will gather to watch the national telecast of the game. Also tuning in will be a great many viewers who will be learning about our colleges and, in some cases, making first impressions.

This football game matters to both sides, but even more important is the relationship and tradition that we are all, each of us, charged with the responsibility of enhancing and protecting.

We are sending this message in hopes that you will join us in honoring the tradition that started in 1890. One team will leave Blackstock with the Bell on Saturday afternoon, but all of us should leave with pride in an event that has a long and rich history and is the envy of many other colleges.

We look forward to cheering with you Saturday.

While DePauw alumni and students celebrate Monon Bell weekend by tailgating and watching senior quarterback Will King pass the pigskin, the men’s and women’s cross-country teams will be trying to qualify for the NCAA Div. III champion-ships.

The top two teams in the region go directly to the Div. III championship meet. The rest of the top five have a possible at-large bid to the meet. In terms of individuals, the top seven runners who

are not on the teams with bids going in to the tournament will also go the championship meet.

The meet will be hosted by Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio. On Oct. 15, both teams competed in the Oberlin Inter-Regional Rumble where the women’s team placed third out of 33 teams while the men placed 11th of 34. After another month of training, head coach Kori Stoffregen is optimistic that both his teams can run better on the course they ran on a month ago.

“This is their chance to step up and shine,” Stoffregen said. “Our goal going in to this is we want to be a really solid team. I want each runner to have better times than they did a

month ago. I want all seven runners on each team to leave feeling like we’ve all had a good meet.”

Neither team is slated in the top 10 of the regional rankings. With that in mind, the Tiger runners come in to the meet with an uphill battle ahead of them to qualify a single runner.

“It’s definitely an underdog situation,” Stof-fregen said. “We have nothing to lose which is less pressure. So we’re telling them that this might be the last meet of the year and all the work you’ve done all summer and all fall, this is where it pays off.”

Both teams have battled injury all season long, resulting in a fifth place finish for the men’s team

in the NCAC championship meet and a third place finish for the women. For the men, the biggest injury has been to senior Pete Richard, who would have strengthened the team alongside junior Noah Droddy.

“This isn’t the healthiest team we’ve ever had,” Stoffregen said. “It seems like the women’s team has overcome that a little bit better than the men’s team. But the guys with Pete Richard out, that really hurts us.”

Regardless of the injuries and the obvious un-derdog scenario, the Tigers are hoping to qualify for the NCAA championships on a course which they are familiar with.

CROSS COUNTRY

Injury-ridden squads hope to warm up for regionals, championships


For the second straight year, the DePauw Ultimate Frisbee team traveled up US-231 to play for the coveted Monon Disc. Playing under the lights and on a snow-patched football practice field, the team battled an athletic Wabash College team for its fifth-straight win in the six years of the annual rivalry.

With a final score of 13-10, DePauw took back the disc they created years ago. Coached by senior Erin O’Donnell, the team utilized a horizontal stack style of offense, taking advantage of its multiple athletic players.

The style of offense uses multiple handlers at one time to move the disc horizontally down the field toward the scoring zone. Handling the disc for the DePauw team were juniors Sam Yeary and Tyler Spear and sophomores Mark Weiss and Arthur Small.

“We had to train more handlers this year, and they did pretty well,” O’Donnell said. “So the handlers were quick flipping the disk back and forth horizontally up the field, and then we have long cuts and those were caught today.”

Yeary worked with Spear and his teammates to lob passes downfield for their long-cut man, senior Eric Hubbard.

“Since it’s cold out today, we worked on little passes and had really good cuts and so we were able to work the disc up the field slowly,” Yeary said. “When we got

that long pass open, we were able to get it off especially with Eric Hubbard. Any long pass you put up in the air, he’s going to catch it.”

Hubbard led the team with five scores out of DePauw’s total of 13. He also performed well on the defensive end, knocking down pass after pass from the Wabash offense.

“They are pretty athletic and were able to get us deep on a lot of throws,” Yeary said. “That’s where they scored most of their points.”

But the Wabash offense could not connect enough of those passes and the well-prepared DePauw team got to carry the Disc back to Greencastle once again.

“I was really pumped and just stoked for this game,” Yeary said. “This is like our Monon game. Every year it’s a tough challenge even though we just play ourselves all the time in practice. Just coming up here playing in the snow, it was a lot of fun.”

With many freshmen and sophomores on the team ready to continue the tradition of winning, the future looks bright for DePauw. For O’Donnell, she hopes her team can continue to improve in its abilities and keep the winning tradition going.

“It feels great,” O’Donnell said. “We made the disc, and we’ve kept it since we’ve made it. I can’t wait to come back during Monon week and watch us win this game when these freshmen are sophomores.”

Last season, the DePauw men’s swim team trav-eled to Wabash College during Monon Bell week and won by a margin of 30 points (165-135).

This season, the Tigers pounced on the Little Gi-ants in their own pool.

DePauw beat rival Wabash in a blow out victory 205-89 Wednesday night. Freshman Casey Hooker set his third straight pool record in his third colle-giate meet. Hooker broke the DePauw pool record in the 1,000 freestyle with a time of 9 minutes, 41.77 seconds, the previous pool record being set in 1998 at 9:41:77. Hooker also won the 500 freestyle with a time of 4:40.35 and was part of the winning 400 free relay team alongside freshmen Matt Bacinich and Alex Alfonso, and senior John Montgomery.

“We wanted to come out and make a statement not only for us but also for the upcoming Monon Bell game this Saturday,” Hooker said. “I’ve had great suc-cess, but I need to keep working hard, I’ve got my eyes set down the road on nationals, so I just need to keep working towards that goal.”

The team has now won three meets in a row and sits at 3-0 on the season with a week off before hosting Wheaton College on Nov. 18. The team has a lot of freshmen, but head coach Adam Cohen said he is very happy with the senior leadership early in the season.

“The seniors have been really strong,” Cohen said. “It’s hard when you have that tough of a talent under you nibbling at you for your spots. The seniors have to step up, be the leaders and find their spot on this team.”

With an impressive freshman class that brings speed and motivation to the team, the upperclassmen are looking to maintain energy in practice. Senior captain Dylan Klossner said the team needs to keep up the hard work they have shown thus far in the season.

“We need to focus because it is a wild group of people, and we need to stay motivated and train hard,” Klossner said. “It doesn’t matter if you are the fastest or the slowest on the team, but we need to practice hard everyday. We need to stay motivated and keep the momentum up that we have had in the first three meets.”

With junior Matt Kukurugya out on Wednesday due to a shoulder injury dating back to last year, the team was looking for someone to step up in the meet against Wabash.

“Everyone talks about Alex Alfonso and Casey Hooker as the notable freshmen, but the unsung hero today was [freshman] Jordan Bantista,” Cohen said. “With Matt Kurkuyga out, Bantista really stepped up and won the 100 and 200 breast stroke for us today.”

Other winners in Wednesday’s meet include Montgomery who won the 200 freestyle in 1:46.64 before sophomore George Morrison added a win in the 100 backstroke in 54.41. Sophomore Matt Gleason

won the 200 butterfly in 1:56.04, the 100 fly in 51.88 and the 200 individual medley in 1:59.60. Alfonso was a 50-free winner in 21.69 and led the way in the 100 free with a time of 47.67.

Klossner said the team had a lot of people step up today, not only in the results, but in the team’s mentality.

“Its great to see Casey Hooker go really fast in his events, but it was those swimmers that brought it up in third or fourth place that were motivating others to swim hard and keeping a positive attitude on deck,” Klossner said. “It was really those unsung heros of the

meet that were really important today.” The team is in its inaugural year in the NCAC and

is up against two of the best men’s swimming teams in the nation. Hooker is not letting the success the team has seen thus far in the season get to his head at this point.

“Conference will be very tough. It’s our first year in the NCAC so we are really looking to make a statement this year,” Hooker said. “We need to keep working hard and not let these wins get to us because they are already in the past.”

2 | MONON The DePauw | Friday, Nov. 11, 2011


Tigers (0-0) vs. Rose-Hulman (0-0)Sept. 3

The Tigers started their season traveling south to the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. In defensive coordinator Scott Srnka’s first game as a DePauw coach, the defense scored the first points of the season on a 38-yard in-terception, returned for a touchdown by junior Robby Schuler. The Tiger defense eliminated the Rose-Hulman run game, giving up just 64 yards, but allowed 230 yards through the air. In senior quarter-back Ethan Schweir’s first start, he went 29-42 for 276 yards. On the ground, Sch-weir gained 27 yards as well.

Final score: W, 23-13

Tigers (1-0) vs. Allegheny (1-1)Sept. 17

After the Tiger’s first of two bye weeks, the team traveled to Meadville, Pa. to take on future NCAC opponent Al-legheny College. After scoring 10 points in the first quarter, the DePauw offense would not score again in the game and began an almost month-long period without holding a lead. The running game sputtered, gaining just 81 total yards led by senior Jon Ellis’s 39 yards. Schweir also struggled in his second-ever start, completing just 12 out of 30 passes for 188 yards and throwing three interceptions.

Final score: L, 10-17

Tigers (1-1) vs. Rhodes (0-2)Sept. 24

Following the loss to Allegheny, the offense looked to redeem itself. Again led by Schweir, DePauw continued to struggle to move the chains and put points on the board. The Tigers didn’t score until the fourth quarter. Reach-ing back to the previous week’s game, DePauw hadn’t scored for six straight quarters. The defense, establishing it-self as one of the elite squads in the na-tion, also suffered lapses. In the second quarter, the team allowed an 80-yard touchdown pass from the Rhodes Col-lege offense to open up scoring. In the third quarter, with the Tigers down 0-10, Schweir was knocked out of the game with a torn ACL, prompting sophomore Jackson Kirtley to get the call. Utilizing

his athleticism, Kirtley led the offense to two touchdowns in the fourth quarter.


Centre (3-0) vs. Tigers (1-2)Oct. 1

With senior quarterback Ethan Sch-weir out for the season with a torn ACL, sophomore Jackson Kirtley was thrust into the starter’s role against Centre Col-lege for the first home game of the sea-son at Blackstock Stadium. The young, athletic quarterback did all he could to move the offense down the field, but couldn’t establish a passing game. Kirtley ran for 117 yards and threw for 141 yards. Senior Brody Schoen caught seven passes for 78 yards. DePauw once again struggled to put points on the board, scoring none in the first half until Eric Malm kicked a field goal. The three points brought the door to 17-3. The of-fense reached a low point when Kirtley fumbled the ball in DePauw territory and it was returned for a touchdown by Centre.


Tigers (1-3) vs. Sewanee (2-4)Oct. 15

After another bye week, DePauw was back on the road. In Sewanee, Tenn., the offense hit rock bottom, putting up zero points from the offensive end. The only DePauw points in the game came from senior Taylor Wagner’s 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. With Kirtley under center, he completed 11 out of 30 passes for 133 yards. On the ground, which was Kirtley’s strength when plays broke down, the quarterback actually netted 18 yards on 14 scrambles.


Tigers (1-4) vs. Ohio Wesleyan (1-5)Oct. 22

After losing four games in a row, the Tigers made a quarterback switch to try and jumpstart an ailing offense. Freshman Drew Seaman made his first collegiate start and looked to provide the offense with new life. In DePauw’s first two possessions, Seaman threw an interception and fumbled the ball, forc-ing the DePauw defense to step up. The first quarter ended with DePauw down 0-10. Seaman would recover nicely from his first quarter struggle to find tight end Bobby Coburn for two touchdowns. The

defense also put points on the board with the season’s first safety. In the second quarter after Seaman’s second touchdown strike to Coburn, the Tigers took the lead, their first time since the third quarter of the game against Allegh-eny. Seaman finished the game com-pleting 17 out of 27 passes of 166 yards and three touchdowns. Nikko Sansone led the DePauw running game with 65 yards.


Tigers (2-4) vs. Austin (0-7)Oct. 29

Seaman looked to build on his strong offensive performance in Sher-man, Texas. Against a winless Austin team, the Tigers prepared for a team that is better than its record shows. The Tiger offense showed up again in the running and passing game. Sophomore Armani Cato led all rushers with 95 yards, complementing Seaman’s aerial attack of 11 completions for 114 yards. The real winners were the DePauw de-fenders, who gave up just 34 net yards on the ground to Austin. In the fourth quarter, Seaman was hit hard and taken out of the game, prompting senior Will King to finish the game.


Albion (4-4) vs. Tigers (3-4)Nov. 5

With Seaman still recovering from the concussion he suffered against Aus-tin, Will King assumed command of the offense in his first start of the season as the fourth quarterback to start with the Tigers this season. Albion College had averaged over 20 points per game heading into its matchup with DePauw and scored only seven points as the Ti-gers’ defense stepped up in Seaman’s absence. The Albion team did not start its first string quarterback and running back, having already locked up a spot in the NCAA Div. III playoffs, a move which helped the Tigers. Albion gained more total yards on offense (380) than DePauw (126) and held the edge in first downs 20-8. But Albion could not put points on the board against the Tiger defense. Senior Ben Brandstatter and sophomore Mitch Dwenger led the de-fense with 13 tackles each.

Final Score: W, 7-3

Little Giants (0-0) vs. Wooster (0-1)Sept. 10

The Little Giants racked up nearly 500 total yards on offense with 246 rushing and 244 passing yards in the first game of the season at the College of Wooster. Quarterback Chase Belton completed 17 of 35 passes while running back Vann Hunt carried the ball nine times for 84 yards. The game was heralded as a return to the lineup for multi-threat wide receiver and punt returner Wes Chamblee. Last season, Chamblee missed the entire sea-son after tearing his ACL in the Wooster opener. In this game, Chamblee caught six passes for 68 yards and was the punt and kickoff return man.


Ohio Wesleyan (1-1) vs. Little Giants (1-0)

Sept. 17

In their season home opener, the Little Giants offense performed well again, led by Wes Chamblee. The Wabash team scored in the first three quarters, estab-lishing a 28-7 lead before putting in its second string to finish out the game in the fourth quarter. The weak rushing game was a point of emphasis for head coach Erik Raeburn. Quarterback Chase Belton led the Wabash runners with 55 yards on the ground while starting running back Vann Hunt had just 51 yards. Belton car-ried much of the offensive load through the air, completing 13 of 20 passes for 252 yards and four touchdowns. He was also sacked seven times, exemplifying the of-fensive line’s struggle with pass protection and creating holes for Hunt.


Little Giants (2-0). vs. Chicago (2-1)Sept. 27

Wes Chamblee continued to put up incredible numbers on offense and special teams against the University of Chicago. With a 94-yard punt return for a touchdown and one reception for another touchdown, the senior from South Bend, Ind. accounted for two of Wabash’s seven touchdowns in the game. For that week, Chamblee was named to the D3football.com Team of the Week. The Little Giants put up 326 yards on

offense compared to just 137 yards by Chicago. The defense of Wabash was also impressive, catching four interceptions and sacking Chicago’s quarterback five times.


Kenyon (0-3) vs. Little Giants (3-0)Oct. 1

While last weekend it was Chamblee’s turn to receive national attention for his incredible offensive numbers, it was his quarterback’s turn on this weekend to earn the spotlight. Against Kenyon Col-lege, the Little Giant’s homecoming game featured quarterback Chase Belton ac-counting for five Wabash touchdowns. Belton threw for three and ran for two more touchdowns in an absolute rout, 49-0. On just five carries, Belton ran for a game-high 111 yards, including a long run of 47 yards. Through the air, he was 11-13 in passing for 203 yards. After the game, Wabash was ranked 12th by the lat-est D3football.com poll and 13th by the American Football Coaches Association.


Washington-St. Louis (2-2) vs. Little Giants (4-0)

Oct. 8

The Little Giants continued firing on all cylinders and earned more national and conference attention for individual perfor-mances. This week, the defense, led by linebacker CJ Gum, held the Washington Bears to just three points. Gum earned the NCAC player of the week award after mak-ing 13 total tackles. Over the past three games for the Little Giants, the defense had given up just 10 points. Gum was the NCAC defensive player of the year last season. On the offensive end, Wes Cham-blee scored a touchdown off a punt and quarterback Chase Belton went 18-30 for 199 yards.


Little Giants (5-0) vs. Oberlin (2-3)Oct. 15

The defensive player of the week award stayed with the Little Giants, this time being awarded to Luke Zinsmaster. Zinsmaster intercepted and returned the ball for a five-yard touchdown in the first quarter for a Wabash 14-0 lead. In the third quarter, Wes Chamblee returned a kickoff 80 yards for the third Wabash touchdown of the game. For the first time all season,

however, Oberlin held the edge in first downs 16-15 and put up more offensive numbers, 235-231. But Belton and the of-fense held through, going 12-25 through the air and Chamblee backing up his touchdown on special teams with 6 recep-tions for 47 yards.


Denison (3-4) vs. Little Giants (6-0)Oct. 22

With just three games left after Deni-son, the Little Giants pointed to the third quarter of this game as a testimony to the team’s capabilities. Quarterback Chase Belton threw two touchdown passes, one to Wes Chamblee and another to James Kraus, and scored himself on a 42-yard run. The defense stifled the Denison of-fense as Wabash outscored the Big Red 21-0. Belton didn’t throw the ball much, completing just 9-17 for 210 yards. His main contribution came in the running game where he compiled 150 yards on 16 carries.


Little Giants (7-0) vs. Allegheny (4-3)Oct. 29

After a highly successful game against Denison, the next opponent for the Little Giants was the toughest on schedule yet. It came down to a final, fourth quarter stop against Allegheny College that pre-vented the first loss of the season for Wa-bash. With the 22-16 win on the road, the Little Giants maintained their undefeated season. The running game for Wabash was unsuccessful throughout the game. Vann Hunt and Belton, along with Tyler Homes, accumulated just 77 yards on the ground. The Little Giant offense picked up steam through the air, though. Belton com-pleted 14 of 28 passes for 208 yards and two touchdowns. Wes Chamblee received six of those passes for 104 yards and one touchdown.


Wittenberg (7-1) vs. Little Giants (8-0)

Nov. 5

For the NCAC title, the Wabash team had yet another challenge in Wittenberg University. Although it came down to the wire in last week’s game against Al-legheny, Wabash regrouped and took the NCAC title by a wide margin. The Little Giant defense held Wittenberg scoreless through the first half while the offense put

up 21 points on two Chase Belton rushing touchdowns and a touchdown pass from Belton to Wes Chamblee. By the time Wit-tenberg was able to refocus on offense, the team was in a 28-10 hole. The run-ning game recovered from a tough week against Allegheny to put up 285 total yards

on the ground. Through the air, Belton completed 10-17 passes for 126 yards and one touchdown. The win captured the NCAC title for Wabash and guaranteed them a spot in the NCAA Div. III champi-onship.

3 | MONON

The DePauw | Friday, Nov. 11, 20114 | MONON

By MARITZA MESTRE [email protected]

The staff of Chief’s restaurant in downtown Greencastle began preparing a week early for the expected spike in business during the Monon Bell Classic this year.

Steve Geabes, the owner of Chief’s, said the restaurant tries to get ahead on preparations that can be done in ad-vance. Other planning includes ordering more beer and staffing one or two addi-tional members for the Saturday of the game.

According to Geabes, the additional business brought in by the Monon Bell game can actually turn things around for a business that is experiencing a “crum-my” month or year.

“I’ve worked with a number of differ-ent restaurants and bars in town,” said Geabes, who has lived in Greencastle on and off for 50 years. “It can be the big enchilada.”

While profits on Friday and dur-ing Saturday lunch do not markedly increase, a major difference occurs on Saturday night.

According to Geabes, his profits on the Saturday night of the Monon game increase 30 to 40 percent, probably 15 percent more than for other sporting events.

Gail Smith, the owner of Almost Home, said that she also notices an in-crease in business on the Saturday of the Monon Bell game for dinner. Almost Home’s accompanying bar, the Swizzle Stick, also sees an increase.

While the increase is not as much as on weekends when DePauw hosts sports tournaments that bring in multi-ple teams, Smith said, Almost Home still puts effort into drawing crowds to the restaurant on the Saturday of the Monon Bell game.

For example, Smith has hired a band to play Saturday evening as a special event for the Monon Bell weekend.

“We’re going to send out emails and let DePauw students know that this is available, and I’m also catering for … a tailgate party for somebody at DePauw,” Smith said. “We’re all involved in all the hoopla.”

Chief’s is also catering a tailgate for the game.

Unlike Geabes and Smith, Lynda Dunbar, owner of Treasures on the Square, experiences a decrease in busi-ness on the Saturday of the Monon game.

Dunbar, whose restaurant is only open for breakfast and lunch on Satur-days, attributes this decline in business to the increase in tailgating and increased activities on DePauw’s campus during lunchtime on the day of the Monon.

While the business for breakfast re-mains fairly regular, the decrease in busi-ness during the lunch hour at Treasures on the Square is not consistent with busi-ness during other sporting weekends when the restaurant is normally pretty busy.

Dunbar said she originally tried heav-ily advertising her busi-ness in The DePauw in the week prior to the game but didn’t see any improvement in business. Since then, Treasures on the Square hasn’t made much of an effort to advertise.

“Normally, we kind of forget about it,” Dunbar said of when the Monon Bell game occurs.

Often times, Dun-bar said, she is un-aware of events that occur on DePauw’s campus until a larger crowd appears in town to attend the events.

“It would be great if there would be, you know, something more that we could do to pick up a little bit more of the Monon Bell business,” Dunbar said.

Unlike Treasures on the Square, Chief’s continues to advertise the restau-rant, in particular around the time of the Monon Bell game.

“I’ve got two ads in the The DePauw for next week, whereas [normally] I might not run an add at all,” Geabes said.

Last year, when the game was held at Wabash, Geabes ran a promotion to encour-age costumers to eat at Chief’s on Monon weekend since Gea-bes still experiences an increase, however slight, in business on years when the game is away.

“Crawfordsville’s not a great restau-rant town at present time,” Geabes said.

The promotion Geabes ran last year offered a discount based on the point spread to DePauw students if the Tigers beat Wabash. In light

of DePauw’s loss, the discount did not apply.

This year, in fear of jinxing the game, Geabes is not running the same promo-tion.

While Smith has never been to a Monon Bell game — always preoccupied in the restaurant — Geabes and Dunbar have both been to games in the past, al-though not in recent years.

Despite the gap in years since Geabes has attended a game, he has noticed an overall decline in excitement surround-ing the game since previous years.

“Maybe in general I don’t see it as be-ing quite the event that it used to be pre-1990,” Geabes said. “You could count on all sorts of pranks from either school happening the week before. You could count on, my God, the campus was like, say like in the ‘80s the campus was just rolling in beer…You could count on a lot of fights…I’m just not sure that people are quite as into it as times past.”

Although it’s been a long time since any of the owners have been to a game, if ever, and the atmosphere surrounding the game has changed, they all agree that the Monon Bell game has a positive im-pact on the community.

“[The visitors are] spending money,” Smith said. “And whenever there’s extra people in town spending money it’s al-ways a good thing.”

Geabes said he thinks the Monon game is a wonderful tradition that he hopes to see continue forever.

“We kind of look at it [like] if DePauw wins, Greencastle wins,” Geabes said.

Monon makes big business for local restaurants

By TAYLOR [email protected]

While the Monon Bell Game and the week leading up to the showdown is ar-guably the most exciting time for DePauw students during fall semester, local emo-tions regarding the event range from indif-ference to respect to anticipation.

Many residents agree the week pro-vides a spike in business. Ben Barham, an employee at the Blue Door Café, said the increase in people on campus affects the café.

“We get alumni,” Barham said. “We get families. There’s a big flux of people.”

Barham mentioned that outside of the work context, Monon does not affect him.

Jack Sutton, member of the class of 1981 and scene shop foreman at the

Green Center for the Performing Arts, be-lieves that the game brings good results to the community.

“[Monon] has a positive impact be-cause of all the extra money it is generat-ing for local businesses,” Sutton said.

Because of the spike in customers this weekend, Sutton will be assisting friends who own a local business instead of at-tending the game.

Valene Garrison, a preschool teacher who also works at a local restaurant on the weekend, said the game and surrounding events affect the city.

“[Monon week] is hustle and bustle” Garrison said. “It’s busy. Lots of people coming into town. It brings business, so that’s good.”

Garrison has never attended a Monon Bell game but said that the events struck her as exciting.

Greencastle resident and Walmart greeter Hallie Taylor enthusiastically shared her support for DePauw going into the game Saturday.

“I certainly want to hear who wins,” Taylor said. “And it’s got to be DePauw.”

Though Taylor will not be able to at-tend this year’s game because of work, she is quite aware of its importance outside of the world of business.

“I think a lot people know about the Wabash and DePauw game,” Taylor said. “I mean DePauw’s a big part of Green-castle.”

Like Taylor, many residents know and embrace the spirit of Monon, particularly alumnus and former Dean of Students Dr. Robert Farber, who is now a resident at Asbury Towers. Farber has been affiliated with DePauw since he arrived at the uni-versity as a freshman in 1931.

“I think I’ve seen every Wabash and DePauw game except during the war,” Farber said.

Farber said that over the years two games in particular have stood out to him — the year DePauw’s football team set a record as undefeated, untied and un-scored upon in 1933, including the game against Wabash, and the 2007 game when DePauw won with a last minute field goal.

This year, Farber will be watching the Monon game on television.

While the overall impact of Monon on the community is a positive and reward-ing one, the event still has its negative moments.

Farber recalled “many, many memo-ries of some very heated tensions between the two schools.”

During his 26-year career as dean, Far-ber worked with the dean at Wabash.

“We appealed to both student bodies to be gentle, be decent and be friendly,” Farber said. “And to have a good contest without terrible yells against each other. But each year we had some riots on our campus and on the Wabash campus.”

“It depends on the “wild” factor,” Sut-ton said. “It’s a very special game, it’s very emotional. It has a long history, but it’s only a game and people need to stay in the stands no matter what happens.”

Both acknowledged that at the heart of Monon is a respectable rivalry paired with a well-played football game.

“One of the highlights from my ca-reer at DePauw was the Wabash football game,” Farber said.

Sutton agreed that part of Monon’s impact is “the fact that both schools, no matter what the standings are, go into the game and play that game like life and

Monon adds excitement to Greencastle, DePauw connection

“Chief’s profits on the Saturday night of the Monon game increase 30 to 40

percent, probably 15 percent or more than

for other sporting events.”

The first reported theft:Student poses as a high school reporter

On Oct. 16, 1959, Joe Harper ’62 of The DePauw reported that five Wabash College students stole the Monon Bell. One student made contact with DePauw Admissions Director John Wittich after identify-ing himself as a Crawfordsville High School newspaper reporter. Wittich allowed the student to see and photograph the Bell. After noting the location of the Bell, the student returned later with four friends to make the heist.

“Operation frijoles” The DePauw reported on Nov. 2, 1965 that Wabash student James

Shanks contacted William E. Kerstetter, president of DePauw, to perpe-trate a hoax. Shanks called saying he was a representative of the United States Information Service in Mexico City. Shanks arranged a lunch meeting with Kerstetter claiming he wanted to include the DePauw-Wabash rivalry in an informative booklet about universities that would help explain them to Mexicans.

Kerstetter took Shanks to the storeroom by Blackstock Stadium so that Shanks could get a picture of the Bell. Later that night a security of-ficer was called after three Wabash men were found in need protection from a number of DePauw men. Shanks was also found and the four were held until 12:30 a.m.

Men of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity nab Bell with help of

Wabash students On Oct. 1973, The DePauw reported that 14 DePauw men from

Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity stole the Bell from a balcony in the Wa-bash gymnasium.

It was reported that the DePauw students conversed with Wabash students during their visit, who helped the DePauw students load the Bell into the station wagon.

An estimated 200 Wabash men came to recover the Monon Bell. They reportedly did $1,000 worth of damage to the SAE chapter house after breaking into the barricaded house and spraying urine in fire ex-tinguishers. It was decided that the Bell would be returned to Wabash in a secret meeting at the Putnam County Fairgrounds that night. In exchange, Wabash College would pay for all damage to the SAE house.

Wabash men arrested on front lawn of Kappa Alpha Theta In October 1978, The DePauw reported that DePauw’s Sigma Chi

fraternity pledge class had stolen the Bell and brought it to Greencastle. After hearing the news, about 300 Wabash men headed to Green-

castle and camped out on the lawn of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority to protest the theft. They stayed until police arrived. One senior DePauw woman and 10 Wabash students were arrested. The next afternoon, the Bell was returned by the pledge class at the ‘neutral’ Monument Circle in Indianapolis.

Bell thefts covered by The DePauw


By PARKER [email protected]

On Nov. 14, 1998, the 105th Monon Bell Classic was played following the “Halloween Heist,” in which eight Wabash students had successfully stolen the Monon Bell trophy two weeks prior to the game at Neal Fieldhouse. DePauw responded in resounding fashion with a 42-7 victory, on five consecutive scores to start the game.

Forty-two points was the second highest number of points scored by a single team in the rivalry’s history since the introduction of the bell in 1932.

Last season, the Little Giants upped the ante in the modern history of this timeless classic when they de-feated DePauw 47-0. It was a tie for the largest blowout in Monon Bell Classic history. In 1952, Wabash also beat DePauw 47-0.

The 47-0 loss is something the Tigers have used as motivation throughout the season.

“It’s in the back of our heads everyday. I’m sure most people have been thinking about it all season,” said se-nior defensive lineman Graham Wilkerson. “You focus on each game, but you got that one big game at the end of the season. Our alumni gave us a mat that says ‘47-0’. It’s a reminder. Everyone is ready to get some redemp-tion this week.”

This year’s saga pits the DePauw Tigers (4-4) against an undefeated Wabash Little Giants (9-0) squad, fresh off a NCAC championship title after last week’s win against Wittenberg, 28-17.

“It’s going to be a big week of preparation,” said se-nior captain and defensive lineman Michael Fultz. “It’s obviously the biggest game of the year. We know Wa-bash is a solid football team. It’s the Monon Bell game, anything is possible.”

A victory for DePauw in the 2011 Monon Bell Clas-sic would be nothing out of the ordinary. In the past 13 Monon Bell Classic contests, DePauw has beaten a previ-ously undefeated Wabash team three times. The 1998 42-7 win was the first, followed by a 24-21 Tiger win on a game-winning 47-yard field goal by kicker Jordan Haver-camp in 2007. The Tigers then beat undefeated Wabash again the next season with a convincing 36-14 victory.

The Tigers look to beat another stout, undefeated Little Giants squad this year. Wabash is ranked No. 9 in the country this season and has NCAA Div. III football’s third best rushing defense. Wabash uses frequent blitz packages and smart zone pass defense that has talented youth in the starting defensive back positions.

“Wabash brings another stellar defense to the game this year,” said senior captain and tailback Jon Ellis. “For us to have success we are going to have to run the ball early and often and convert on our passes to our big play receivers.”

In its 28-17 victory over Wittenberg for the NCAC title, Wabash proved it also had scoring potential. The Little Giants have a group of four core receivers high-lighted by senior Wes Chamblee, also one of the most dangerous return men in the NCAC.

“Momentum and field position will be key factors in determining who wins the game,” said senior linebacker Matt Johnson. “For the defense to come out on fire right away is going to give our team a lot of confidence. Hope-fully, we can put up some points on them early.”

Wabash leads the all-time series, 55-53-9, and is look-ing for its third straight victory in the Monon Bell Classic. Despite being down in the all-time rivalry, dating back to 1890, DePauw holds the lead since the Monon Bell was introduced, 37-35-6.

DePauw enters this matchup on a three-game win-ning streak, with wins against Ohio Wesleyan, Austin College and Albion College. The Tigers’ newfound suc-cess has been predicated on minimal offensive turn-overs. Senior quarterback Will King, despite throwing for only 69 yards in last week’s 7-3 win against Albion, did not throw any interceptions.

“I feel confident in my abilities, I always have,” King said. “Once I was given the shot, I felt comfortable in our system and with our coaching staff.”

DePauw also adds an improved defense to the game plan that has been intently focused on stopping the run. The Old Gold only allowed 10 PPG over the course of its three-game winning steak and ranks 24th in Div. III football in rushing defense.

Injuries have also been a recurring factor for DePauw, most notably on offense. Senior wide receiver Taylor Wagner sustained a sprained ankle on Oct. 29 against Austin College. In that same game, freshman quarter-back Drew Seaman suffered a season-ending concus-sion. In light of those injuries, freshman D.J. Steward and sophomore Jordan Hickam have stepped up as the primary Tiger receivers and fourth-string quarterback Will King has emerged as the new starter under center.

“With all the injuries that have happened the next man has got to be ready,” said head coach Robby Long. “That’s what we’ve been preaching in practice.”

On the other side of the injury spectrum, DePauw expects Ellis to make his comeback from a torn groin in-jury. Ellis, who ranks seventh in DePauw history in rush-ing yards, hasn’t played in a game since Sept. 24 against Rhodes College.

“There is a lot of intensity going around, but you don’t want to be too intense because when you get too intense you have mental mistakes,” Ellis said. “It’s about finding the right equilibrium, not too relaxed, but ready to go. “

It is likely the Tigers will have to rely on their se-nior leaders on offense, such as offensive linemen Lewis Brown and Mitch Turnbow. King will have to manage the game by effectively creating drives down field, along with big plays from Ellis and sophomores Bryan Cole-man and Armani Cato in the rushing attack.

Most of DePauw’s experience in this game is located on the defensive line, who gave up only 92 rushing yards on 32 Albion attempts in last Saturday’s 7-3 win. Fultz and Graham Wilkerson lead the Tigers up front and are hungry for their second career Monon Bell Victory.

“A win would mean everything to me. It’s something I’m going to re-member for the rest of my life,” Wilk-erson said. “I’ve put my entire heart into this season. We need to play this game for the people that have put on the jerseys before us. Not only for them but for one another.”

The Tigers will play amid a sold-out crowd Saturday at Blackstock Stadium. The Tigers look to snap their two-game Monon Bell Classic losing streak. Weather conditions are projected to be more than ideal with a projected high of 56 degrees and

partly sunny skies. “The Monon Bell is the reason you

play football,” senior linebacker Matt Johnson said. “It’s a special rivalry. We are fortunate to take part in such a historic and fierce rivalry. “

As the hours dwindle down to the big game, guys and girls alike begin to dig through drawers and rifle through closets in search of the perfect game day outfit.

But as jerseys and tiger costumes hit the floor, some DePauw fans may ask them-selves just how crazy is too crazy to dress for this game?

The answer: There is no such thing as too crazy. This game provides an opportu-nity to go all out and fans should strut their tiger pride accordingly. Take a risk. Wear tiger-print leggings, paint your face (or your body) or even go with this year’s theme: De-Pauw blackout.

Some may wonder whether others will follow in suit and dress up like rabid tigers.

The answer: Probably not. But that should not keep any fan from wearing what makes him or her excited about the game. After all, that is how certain individuals come to be known as “that girl” or “that guy” and occasionally end up on national TV.

Fans who feel uncomfortable roaming Blackstock in paint and tiger print should consider a classic alternative: The Monon shirts distributed by student government.

Nothing says “I support my team but simultaneously feel uncomfortable being singled out” quite like those shirts.

Any sort of DePauw apparel, black or otherwise, will win you a warm welcome on the DePauw side of the stadium. So re-member, no matter what you wear (or don’t wear) be sure to support the tigers. and ful-fill the slogan “DePauw Blackout.”

Anticipation for the long-awaited Monon Bell game has been building since the first signs of fall signaled the beginning of football season. Students, faculty and alumni alike have been anxiously waiting for this week’s various competitions against the men of Wabash to begin.

Arguably the most anticipated of all events is the pre-game tailgate that will consume the Blackstock Stadium parking lot all afternoon. DePauw and Wabash fans will be eating, drinking and socializing in preparation for the game, all out of the back of a truck or two. A few “must have’s” will undoubtedly be spotted on Saturday afternoon:

Blaring stereos, grills of all shapes and sizes, hamburgers, hotdogs, drinks of choice and a nice pair of sunglasses complete with a “fratty” croakie.

Unfortunately, those hamburgers and hotdogs might be the only food in sight for hungry fans looking to increase their tailgating stamina. But the time has come for some variety. The tailgating staples are a classic, but such a special occasion calls for something above and beyond the norm. The following are a couple of options to try out. Luckily they don’t require much more effort than it takes to flip a burger.

Spice up your tailgate

YOU’LL NEEDBoneless, skinless chicken thighs,

rinsed and patted dryWhole onions, green & red peppersBarbecue sauce of your choice6-inch flour tortillasSalt and pepper

YOU’LL DO1. Season the chicken with salt and

pepper and slice the onions, green pep-pers and red peppers. Coat the vegeta-bles in olive oil. Cook the chicken and vegetables over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes on each side.

2. Brush the chicken and vegetables

generously with barbeue sauce and con-tinue grilling until they are crispy and the chicken has reached an internal tempera-ture of 150˚F.

3. Once finished, remove the chicken and vegetables from the grill and cover them with foil until they are cool enough to handle. Once cooled, shred the chick-en.

4. Warm the tortillas for 2-3 minutes over the grill before filling them with chicken, onions, green peppers and red peppers and rolling them into a wrap to serve.

BBQ CHICKEN WRAPS

YOU’LL NEEDSteakOnions, green peppers, red pep-

pers2 cups vegetable oil1 cup soy sauce1 cup Worcestershire sauce2 tablespoons granulated garlic2 tablespoons black pepper2 tablespoons dry mustard (for

marinade)Wooden skewers

YOU’LL DO1. Cut steak into one square inch

cubes.

2. Mix vegetable oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, pepper and dry mustard. Marinate steak cubes overnight in refrigerator.

3. Soak skewers in water for 20-30 minutes prior to cooking. Dice veg-etables into pieces roughly the same size as the steak cubes.

4. Thread the steak and vegetables onto skewers and cook over the grill on medium to high temperature, rotat-ing until the ingredients are cooked to the desired doneness (5-15 minutes), and serve.

STEAK KABOBS

Portion your ingredients according to how many people you plan on serving.While the steak kebabs take a little more preparation, they will be just as

pleasing — if not more so — as the BBQ chicken wraps for eager tailgaters. But if this is still too much work, at least try to remember the condiments. Hamburger quality increases ten fold when combined with lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese or pickle. Grab some cool drinks, throw on some black and gold apparel and enjoy the afternoon. — Green is a sophomore from Muncie, Ind. majoring in communications and Span-ish.

The season began with senior Ethan Schweir making his first collegiate start af-ter riding the bench behind quarterbacks Spud Dick ‘10 and Michael Engle ‘11 in his three previous years on the team.

Since then, the story of the offense has been a season-long revolving door of quarterbacks.

The Tiger coaching staff decided to go with a senior at starting quarterback for the second year in a row. Schweir was touted as a highly athletic and mobile quarterback, new qualities in the DePauw offense.

In week three in Memphis, Tenn. against Rhodes College, Schweir tore an ACL, ending his collegiate football ca-reer. In three starts, Schweir threw five interceptions and just one TD. His injury started a line of succession for the Tiger offense at the quarterback position.

In stepped another quarterback, soph-omore Jackson Kirtley. He, like Schweir, brought a highly mobile and athletic pres-ence to the quarterback position.

But in two starts, Kirtley struggled to move the offense downfield and went 0-2 against Centre College at Blackstock Stadium and away against Sewanee: The University of the South. Frustrated with Kirtley’s performance late in the game, DePauw offensive coordinator Joe De-ifel called up freshman quarterback Drew Seaman. In four starts, Kirtley threw for just one TD and three interceptions.

For a newer offensive line with just two veteran players in seniors Lewis Brown and Mitch Turnbow, the adjust-ment between quarterbacks was trying.

“It’s tough for people to get in sync, not so much in the run game but espe-cially in the passing game,” Brown said. “On top of that, we’re going through dif-ferent types of quarterbacks. Ethan Sch-weir was more of a pocket quarterback, Jackson Kirtley was a scramble and look down field quarterback — that for the offense line is tough, because you don’t know where he’ll be.”

As the third starting quarterbacak, Seaman ended DePauw’s four game los-ing streak with a 34-10 win other Ohio Wesleyan University.

Seaman, with a blend of athleticism and good passes to junior tight end Bob-by Coburn, brought new energy to the offense.

“The whole team just comes together and is working towards the same goal,”

Brown said. “It is up to us to make the QB comfortable. When Drew Seaman was back behind center, we all came forward and said, ‘This is a freshman QB, we have to make him comfortable.’ It’s the same thing with Will [King].”

Two weeks ago against Austin College, Seaman was hit after a play and suffered a serious concussion in the third quarter, ending his season. In stepped DePauw’s fourth quarterback of the season, senior Will King.

The senior started for the first time in his collegiate career in last weekend’s game against Albion College. The Tigers won with a score of 7-3. The offense, led by King, netted just 126 yards. But the key for King was that he never turned the ball over.

“It’s been tough,” King said. “People get hurt that you can’t predict. Every quarterback who has been called to step up has done that.”

King is now set to start the 118th Monon Bell Classic. The team has battled through adversity not only at the quarter-back position, but multiple positions on the offense.

“We’ve been battling it since camp,” Brown said. “We’ve had receivers go down, tight ends go down, offensive line-men go down and while you don’t wish that on any team, it’s really helped us come together. If anything happens on Saturday, we are confident we’ll be able to rebound from it.”

The quarterback injuries has taken its toll on the development of chemistry with wide receivers, but the Tigers are ready to face a tough Wabash defense with King at the helm.

Head coach Robby Long was pleased with what he saw from King last week against Albion.

“Will executed the game plan,” Long said. “It’s never going to be perfect, Will went out there and did the things we asked them to do. He knows the offense pretty well, now, we just have to get him going in the right direction all the time.”

King will need to get going in a hurry to compete with the proven Wabash of-fense, but he has confidence the team’s ability to produce positive results in the 118th Monon Bell classic.

“I need to be prepared mentally to take control of the team,” King said. “Luckily, I’m just one of 11 guys to help soften the fall a bit.”

Head coach of the Wabash College Lit-tle Giants football team, Erik Raeburn, is no stranger to coaching big games.

Raeburn was an assistant coach for Mount Union College during three straight NCAA Div. III football national titles from 1996 to 1998.

Now competing for his third straight Monon Bell, Raeburn understands the in-tensity of the rivalry in his fourth year at the helm for the Little Giants.

Led by an electrifying kickoff/punt re-turner and a multi-threat quarterback, Wa-bash won the NCAC title last week against Wittenberg University by a score of 28-17. In that game, the Wabash running game came to life, gaining 238 yards on the ground led by running back Tyler Holmes with 111.

For that game, the Wabash players played with lots of emotion, according to Raeburn, and poured out a lot of energy on the field.

“To have an emotional game, to win the conference championship, to achieve one of your team goals, you’re always worried about a letdown after that,” Raeburn said. “But this is about the only week that this isn’t as big of a worry.”

The main worry Raeburn has for his team heading into the 118th Monon Bell Classic is the excellent DePauw defense with which his offense must contend.

“They’ve had a lot of injuries on the of-fensive side, but defensively, week in and week out, they have played at a really high level,” Raeburn said. “They are one of the best defenses in the country in the red zone, not allowing touchdowns.”

The Tiger defense has allowed 17.2 points per game and just 94.8 yards on the ground.

The Wabash offense has averaged a gain of 170.7 yards on the ground which, according to Raeburn, is critical in the suc-cess of his offense and quarterback Chase Belton.

“When we have not been able to es-tablish the run, we are inconsistent on of-fense,” Raeburn said. “It was nice to bounce back last week and gain some yards rushing and get that game going. Hopefully, we will be able to maintain it, because we have struggled in that area.”

With the running game firmly estab-lished with Holmes and Vann Hunt, who netted 85 yards, Belton was able to find wide receiver Wes Chamblee for a 21-yard

vtouchdown and a 21-0 lead in the second quarter.

If Belton and the run game can find holes, Raeburn thinks his 9-0 Wabash team can do what last year’s 9-0 DePauw team could not do.

“It’s been my experience that the 9-0 team has little to no chance of winning the game,” Raeburn said. “This will be my fourth one and twice there has been a 9-0 team and twice they have lost.”

The Tigers technically enter the game as underdogs with a 4-4 record. But Rae-burn knows that records do not mean much in the Monon Bell Classic.

“Throw out the records is the big cli-che, but it has held true” Raeburn said. “But that’s one of the reasons why this rivalry is so good. It’s been so even and our guys know, just like last year, one way to salvage your season is to win the Bell game.”


By MICHAEL APPELGATE [email protected]

Former head coach of the DePauw football team Nick Mourouzis had an 11-11-1 record in the Monon Bell Clas-sic in his 23 years at the helm from 1981-2003. As much as it is special for the players of the game, the coaches realize and embrace the intensity of Monon as well. The DePauw’s Sports Editor Michael Appelgate sat down with coach Nick to talk about coaching 23 Monon Bell games.

The DePauw: How did you and your coaching staff prepare for the Monon Bell Classic?

Nick Mourouzis: I always said it was a season in and of itself. You could be 9-0 or 0-9 and it’s just like a season. There are red-letter games and there are key games. This is a key game.

I used to tell players, ‘This is 60 minutes, and a lifetime to remember.’ We knew that the intensity level would be automatically up because eve-ryone is thinking about it. It’s the last game of the year, and it’s a ‘senior bowl.’

We had to do a very good job in watching film and finding some key plays we could work or key things we could stop their offense with. Special teams also play a

big role in this as well.What I really talked about was having emotional con-

trol.

TDP: What sort of things did you stress in the first day of practice during Monon week?

NM: You didn’t have to talk about too much because the emotional level was just magnified. It’s just amazing. Everyone goes 100 percent, and that’s what you have to do on every play.

It is a full 60 minute game, and you have to prepare yourself. You need to be intense, but keep yourself under control — to not commit penalties. That’s a key thing.

TDP: How did you balance the players’ excite-ment and intensity and preparing to face Wabash on the field?

NM: It’s sort of built in because everyone knows the importance of the game. They are going to remember this forever, so they would want to go out with a victory.

Here you have two great universities, and both sides want to win so they can brag about having the rights to the bell. There’s enough intensity that you don’t have to magnify it. We want to bring everything out and have everything covered offensively and defensively.

TDP: Coach Nick, you went 11-11-1 in Monon Bell Classics in your 23 years as head coach. How intense was the game on the field?

NM: The intensity was so amplified you could literally cut it with a knife. Everyone feels it, the hits, blocks and the tackles, everything is 100 percent.

I always look forward to it. There’s nothing like it, because players know each other from high schools because they are predominantly in-state. The intensity and rivalry is magnified.

In all my 23 years, this will be my 31st game I’ve seen. There has been only one game where two players got in a fight and were kicked out, only one time when players started fighting against each other.

TDP: What does it come down to, to win this game?

NM: Emotional control comes into this, but you’ve got to have Tiger pride baby.

You’ve got to have Tiger pride where you want to go out and play

perfect. You don’t want to fumble the ball, and you have to win the turnover/takeaway margin.

Whoever has won the turnover/takeaway margin will win the ballgame. So that’s why we don’t want to be ourselves. The only team that can beat us is ourselves, and if we approach it that way, we should win the ball game.

“Throw out the records is the big cliche, but it

has held true. But that’s one of the reasons why this rivalry is so good.”

-Erik Raeburn, Wabash head coach


If DePauw wants to reclaim the Mon-on Bell, it must re-member four simple words.

Don’t. Kick. To. Wes.

Wes Chamblee is the Little Giants’ big play threat when he’s returning kicks or

punts. He has three returns for touchdowns this year, but even when he’s not breaking one all the way to the end zone, he can put Wabash in excellent field position. He has 18 punt returns for 393 yards and nine kick returns for 276 yards.

He also is pretty dangerous as a receiver with a team high seven touchdown recep-tions.

The last few games, teams have made an effort to keep Chamblee from hurting them, but while a kicker can just aim at the other side of the field, it’s more difficult to stop him as a receiver. Wabash has made an effort to establish the running game early, which has been effective with the help of dual-threat quarterback Chase Belton and the running back duo of Tyler Holmes and Vann Hunt.

But once a team starts to address the running game of the Little Giants, that leaves fewer players to stop Chamblee. In winning the NCAC title last week over Wit-

tenberg University, the Little Giants went to the ground play after play, until Wittenberg began bringing up more players to stop the rush, at which point Belton found Chamblee in single coverage.

On offense, Wabash will run, run, run. As soon as DePauw adjusts to it, Belton

will find Chamblee or one of his other re-ceivers, Jonathan Horn or James Kraus.

Meanwhile, DePauw’s offensive line has to deal with the Wabash defense that has racked up 25 sacks and grabbed 11 intercep-tions this season. If the line can keep the pressure off, the Tigers passing game can thrive.

DePauw will just have to slow down the Wabash attack, but that won’t be easy.

Wabash has had trouble getting the of-fense going early in games before, and of course DePauw’s defense has been stellar in the past two games, so if the Tigers can keep that Little Giants offense in check, they’ll be in good shape.

Of course the Wabash defense is tough as well.

I think Wabash stays unbeaten in a low scoring game, with the deciding points com-ing when DePauw commits the cardinal sin of kicking to Chamblee.

Here we are again. It’s Monon Bell week, with Wabash and DePauw a day from squaring off in one of the nation’s oldest and most fiercely contested foot-ball rivalries. Not much has changed in the 118 years that these two teams have done battle on the gridiron. The series is separated by one game and a mere 30 miles divide the campuses.

For the third time in the last four years, one team enters this rivalry with an undefeated record and one team enters with something to prove. One team has already punched its ticket to the playoffs, and one team is looking for a season’s worth of validation in one game.

Last year’s game featured a two-loss Wabash team hosting an undefeated and playoff-bound DePauw team. We all

know how that one ended, with Wabash blanking the Tigers 47-0. That result was similar in many ways to a 2008 game when an undefeated Wabash team dropped a 36-14 shocker at home.

Basically, what I’m saying is what all of us already know about this game. Records don’t matter, season statistics don’t matter and number of all-American players on your roster don’t matter (my condolences, Alex Koors). What does matter is what team values the Bell more on that given Sat-urday. That was pain-fully apparent last year. Wabash was able to ride an emotional wave right through DeP-

auw, and an otherwise underwhelming season became a success.

This year the shoe is on the other foot. And if Wabash thinks for a

second that DePauw doesn’t want to defend its home turf (or natural grass, as the case is in Greencastle), they are going to have a rude awakening Saturday. Wabash

enters this game having ac-complished everything

it has set out to do so far this year. It ended

a two-game slide against Wittenberg, it won the NCAC for

the first time in three years, it has had numerous individuals

awarded at a conference and national level and it achieved a perfect pre-Bell record.

But when you look at it, this game is nothing and it is everything.

This game is nothing in the sense that it has no bearing on Wabash’s con-ference title or playoff berth, but it is eve-rything in that an entire season rests on one game’s results. Regardless of play-offs and conference titles and individual accolades, a win in the Bell game erases a bad year or punctuates a great one.

Wabash is the better team in this game. The Little Giants have more weapons offensively and have continu-ally proven they possess a high-level de-fense. In special teams, both squads cer-tainly have playmakers who can change

a game. This matchup is going to come down to whether Wabash puts DePauw away early or if the Tigers are able to hang around, rely on their own staunch defensive unit and look for a big play or two to win the game. Because if it’s a tight game come the fourth quarter, the Little Giants may be in an uncomfortable situation.

With all that said, I don’t see this Wabash team overlooking anybody, es-pecially their rivals to the south.

Final Score: Wabash, 30-10.

Defense, special teams crucial

History has a crazy way of repeating itself. We’ve seen it time and time again and the stage is set Sat-urday for the ultimate reversal

of fortunes. This season,

the DePauw and Wabash football programs are on opposite ends of the spectrum. DePauw is currently sitting at 4-4 on the season, but riding a three-game winning streak. Wabash on the other hand is cruising into the 118th Monon Bell Classic with a per-fect 9-0 record. Sound familiar?

The same scenario presented itself last year when the Tigers hit U.S. 231 north to Crawfordsville, boasting a 9-0 record, with everyone fully expecting DPU to be returning with the Bell. Wabash had other ideas and defeated the Tigers handily, 47-0. Fate doesn’t know records, nor does she know rosters — she only knows irony and there would be no greater irony that DePauw flipping the tables Saturday.

While Wabash features a few key offensive returners in quarterback Chase Belton and receiver Jonathan Horn, DePauw has what looks to be a

whole new crew. In the Tigers most recent game

against Albion, of the nine players who record offensive yardage, only two — quarterback Will King and receiver Steve Ganser — are seniors. Injuries have forced underclassmen to step up and while they’ve taken their lumps, they have a three-game win streak to show for their efforts.

Everyone knows how the Monon Bell Classic loves its dramatic mo-ments and DePauw fans will be look-ing for a few of those this weekend. But to look at the stats, opponents and efficiency, it’s going to be a tough row to hoe.

As a team, Wabash has outscored and out-gained the Tigers this sea-son and is coming off a big win over Wittenberg. A look at the stats shows Wabash is a quick starter, putting up 92 first quarter points this season. The game could be huge in another way as if Wabash manages to win the game, the all-time Monon Bell Classic will be tied 37-37-6.

For DePauw to continue its win-ning streak, they’ll need to hold the Little Giants scoreless or at least limit their first quarter points. They’ll also need to have a balanced defensive attack to stop quarterback Belton through the air and on the ground,

as well as keep rusher Vann Hunt in check.

Offensively, it’s going to be a day for the underclassmen to shine. The Tigers have a bevy of young talent and only at kickoff will we see who’s ready to seize their moment. They’ll never display their skills on a stage so grand and it only takes a single moment to become part of Monon Bell lore — just as alum Jordan Havercamp.

I think the Tigers will be more pro-ductive than they have been, Wabash has put up some impressive numbers this season and defeated some equally impressive opponents. Saturday’s game will come down to who wants the game more and sometimes heart and desire trumps skill and precision.

Hopefully that will be the case at Blackstock.

While I look for Wabash to con-tinue its strong play and be able to come away with a victory to tie the Bell series, I think DePauw has the ability to hang with them and show the Little Giants, when you come to the home of the Black and Gold, nothing is easy.

Prediction: Wabash 28, DePauw 17

Black and gold winning streak can continue

There are two weeks that every student on DePauw’s campus anticipates. This week hap-pens to be one of them.

As a football player, this is the most important week of the year. It is more than just a game. It is more than just a bell. It is a rivalry like none other.

Come game day, the record and stats are thrown out and it boils down to whoever comes out to play on Saturday.

On Saturday, 16 seniors will strap up for one last time and one last Bell game. Nobody wants to end his college career with a loss, so expect that kind of effort.

Take the intensity of a normal game and mul-tiply it by 20 and you might come close to the intensity of the Monon Bell game.

Wabash comes into this game at 9-0, having just won their conference and clinched a NCAA playoff berth. But as coach Raeburn put it this week, over the past few seasons, it has seemed that the team with the worse record should be favored.

That dates back to my freshman year when

Wabash was ranked second in the nation and we pulled an upset in Crawfordsville. And I know no-body has forgotten about the 47-0 beat down we took down last year.

This week has been as intense a week of practice as any and the team can’t wait for Saturday.

As a senior, I have gotten to ex-perience something no one but the seniors on this campus have. I’ve walked off the field after the crowd rushed it, bell in hand. That feeling during my freshman year is a feeling that I will never forget.

The only problem is that the feeling from sopho-more and junior year are stronger than the one from freshman year. Seeing the seniors walk off the field with their heads down knowing they lost their last chance at the bell will always haunt me.

Feelings like these are what fuels our team, game in and game out, and it does nothing but

fire up the team even more to have a sideline full of black and gold on our side.

Monon is critical to the experience of a De-pauw student. Everyone should see it first hand

and there is really no reason to miss it. Come out to the tailgate early and get ready for the game. At 10:30 the football team will make our traditional walk from Lilly, stop-ping before we enter the locker room to sing the fight song for the fans.

I am not going so far as to make a prediction about the outcome of the

game, but I can say one thing.This year this team has battled

more adversity than any team I have been on in more than 15 years of playing football.

We’ve fought and won close games and we’ve fought and lost

close games. We’ve been on the good and bad sides of lopsided scores. This will only be our third game in the friendly confines of Blackstock Stadium this year.

Oh yeah, and we are on our fourth quarter-

back. And we are still finding ways to win. If this is your first Monon in Greencastle, get

ready for an experience. It is something you will never forget. Get your black and gold ready for Saturday and get ready for a battle.

And always remember that DePauw never quits.

Monon a time to fight for victory, regardless of obstaclesPLAYER’S PERSPECTIVE

LEWISBROWN

“This year the team has battled more adversity than any team I have been on in more than 15 years of playing football...

We are on our fourth quarterback. And we are still finding ways to win.”

We’ve all heard it before. You throw the re-cords out for this game.

For the 4-4 Tigers facing a 9-0 Little Giant team, the odds are seemingly stacked against the Old Gold.

But there is a chance. Anything can happen in the Monon Bell Classic.

Last year, the incon-ceivable happened. A 47-0 final score sent DePauw fans away in droves at halftime. The Tigers came into that game 9-0 led by two-time all-American wide receiver Alex Koors and steadied by senior quarterback Michael En-gle.The running game for DePauw was also potent, led by Derrick Karazsia and now-senior Jon Ellis.

The Wabash defense deserves all the credit for shutting down the Tiger offense. Engle, who averaged 289.1 passing yards per game, was held to 84. Koors caught just three passes for 24 yards, way below his season average of 114.1.

On the ground, Karazsia gained 23 yards on 10 carries, also below his average per game of 57.3. In total, the DePauw offense mustered just

95 yards compared to Wabash’s 498.That’s how defense can win a game. The Tigers hope to mirror that strong de-

fense on Saturday at Blackstock Stadium in Greencastle.

Defense has kept the Old Gold competitive in almost every game this season. During the Tigers’ four-game los-

ing streak, the defense surrendered points be-cause of the offense’s inability to drive down the field. The poor field position limited the field for opponents.

Led by senior cap-tains Steve Valdiserri, a cornerback and Michael

Fultz, a lineman, the Tiger defense has held op-ponents to 17.2 points per game.

That average could easily have been a full touchdown smaller if the offense moved the ball downfield. Middle linebacker Matt Johnson, along with safeties Ben Brandstatter and Robby Schuler, have done an excellent job stopping the running game and coming up with key inter-ceptions when needed.

The Tiger defense has allowed an average of 94.8 yards on the ground, but if there is a weak-ness which Little Giants quarterback Chase Bel-ton could expose, it is the passing defense of the Tigers.

Opponents have averaged 206.6 yards through the air against the DePauw sec-ondary. This is mostly due to the fact that the Tigers have faced good running-based teams and most defensive game plans have purely focused on stopping the run.

In DePauw’s first game of the season against the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technol-ogy, all-region running back Kyle Kovach was the center of attention. Kovach netted just 35 yards on the ground against the Tigers. Kovach’s stats at the end of the season proved the effec-tive Tiger defense, with 112.6 yards per game, 10 touchdowns and 1,081 total yards on the ground.

That is what the Tiger defense can stop. They will look to do that to not just one player, but multiple offensive threats from the Little Gi-ants in Belton and wide receivers Wes Chamblee and Jonathon Horn.

DePauw needs to play a perfect game to beat Wabash. Stopping the Little Giant offense is a daunting task. But the Old Gold can do it.

Putting points on the scoreboard…the Tigers are hoping senior quarterback Will King, DePauw’s fourth starting quarterback this season and backup to Stanford’s Andrew Luck in high school, can generate just enough offense and,

most importantly, not turn the ball over.

DePauw might be living on a prayer, but I’m a believer. I’m

calling an upset win for DeP-auw at home, 21-24.

Call me ridiculous, but this game does not lend itself to following scripts. Throw

the records out the window, we will witness pas-sion and desire like is seen nowhere else in this 118th Monon Bell Classic.
