Local restaurant The Downtown Deli — previously known as Treas-ures On the Square — will close just four days before Christmas on Friday, Dec. 21 after eight years of service.

Lynda Dunbar, owner of the

Deli, cites numerous reasons for the closing of the eatery, but said the real problems began in June of 2012 when she noticed a big drop off in business.

While Dunbar noted there is al-ways a downward trend in sales dur-ing the summertime months, she estimated that this past summer’s sales were down by 25 percent from what she usually expects.

“I don’t want to slam on what was going on on the other side of the corner,” Dunbar said. “But a lot of it was because Indiana Street was booked up with all the dumpsters and the construction of Starbucks.”

While most of us were catching up with family and preparing for a Thanks-giving feast, the university announced on Nov. 21 that renowned anthropologist Jane Goodall will be delivering a Timothy and Sharon Ubben Lecture on April 17, 2013. She will deliver the lecture, entitled “Making a Difference,” in Neal Fieldhouse and the event will be free to the public.

Executive Director of Media Relations Ken Owen ‘82 said DePauw is fortunate to have Goodall come speak.

“I’ve had a number of professors and students over the years say you ought to look at Jane Goodall, and I always have,”

Owen said. “But she doesn’t do many [university lectures].

“She’s been doing this for a long time,” Owen said about her work with anthropology. “She was doing it before it was hip to do it. And I think that she has influenced several generations of people. ... she was pioneering and brave, and she brings a lot of interesting things to the table.”

Goodall began her work with the Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve in East Africa in the 1960s when she studied the behavior of chimpanzees and the re-

The process of finding a new foot-ball coach is narrowing, with the list down to 30 candidates.

More than 130 candidates who ap-plied were split into three categories of A, B and C, with A being the slot for top contenders. Stevie Baker-Watson, direc-tor of athletics and recreational sports, worked with a committee comprised of students, coaches and faculty members to condense it to a list of viable candi-dates.

The process is significantly shorter than similar seraches because mem-bers of the committee know what they would like to see in a candidate.

“We want someone with a sense of community and understanding of liber-al arts, who understands how dedicated DePauw students are, has the ability to recruit student athletes, and who has had a number of successes,” Baker-Watson said.

Most of the A qualifiers are experi-enced, though their experience varies. Some have worked at one place for a long time; others have worked at multi-ple places for a short time each but have accumulated an impressive amount of experience overall. However, very few of them have participated in a search candidacy in the past.

Selecting a coach entails getting to know the candidates. These include a written series of questions, a phone in-terview, and, if the candidate generates enough interest, an interview in person.

“We ask them 3 questions: one about liberal arts, one about alumni, and one about challenges that they would face and how they would overcome them,” Baker-Watson said. “We have follow-ups to those questions on the call. Once we figure out who is viable, we move to some in-person interview process.”

These three questions are given to the candidates in advance, while the re-maining questions are answered during the phone interview. This gives the can-didate familiarity with the material and

provides for a comfortable interview.“What I don’t want to do is place

a candidate in a position where they might not know what’s coming to them on the phone interview,” Baker-Watson said.

Through the phone screenings, Baker-Watson and other committee members who listen in develop a rap-port with the candidates and get a bet-ter idea of viable traits.

“We’re trying to get to know experi-ence, skills and trades, how the candi-date meshes with DePauw and what De-Pauw needs in this time of its history,” Baker-Watson said.

Students are also heavily involved in the decision-making process.

“We’re supposed to reach out and be the liaison between athletes and stu-dents, to see what they’re looking for in a coach,” said senior tennis player Reid Garlock, a student member of the com-mittee.

Student athletes also have a big say.The committee held a 45-minute

meeting with the football team during which Baker-Watson collected feed-

back. Candidates will meet with the student athletes at least twice. Further-more, student athletes are notified of finalists sooner than anybody else in the student body.

“The last two seasons haven’t been very successful, and we’re looking for someone who can come in here and help us be successful, whether it’s a similar coaching style to the one used in the past or not,” said junior defensive lineman Patrick Keller. “Whoever the right person is for that is the person who should get the job.”

Once somebody is chosen, the com-mittee does its best to integrate the new coach into DePauw culture in a way that’s efficient.

“Since the candidates have one foot at current employment and one foot here, we try to be respectful and try to move it as quickly as possible,” Baker-Watson said. “But we don’t want to sacrifice time. We want to make sure we have a quality person.”

DePauw’s new football coach will likely be announced in early January.

Students and faculty living and working along Anderson Street re-ceived a welcome surprise Thurs-day when the fences surrounding the road, which has been under construction since August, were removed, giving pedestrian’s ac-cess to the street.

The removal of the fences comes days before the Saturday, Dec. 1 deadline outlined by asso-ciate vice president for Facilities Dick Vance. Although, Vance ad-mits that the date was never some-thing that was set in stone and that it had been somewhat arbitrary.

Rob Harper, assistant director of Facilities, agreed that the Dec. 1 date was not an accurate represen-tation of how and when Anderson Street would be opened to the public. According to Harper, this first step of removing the fences will open the street to pedestrian traffic, whereas vehicle traffic will be allowed starting Dec. 10.

“There are still some odds and ends to complete,” Harper said.

Senior Phillip Gray, a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity, was still pleased to see the street outside his fraternity open to pedestrians.

“I guess a lot of us were won-dering when the fences would be taken down,” he said. “They’ve been up way too long — I haven’t seen much construction done to the sidewalks in the last few weeks.”

A short description on the De-Pauw Anderson Street webpage describes the Anderson Street project as being one of several that share a common goal in “drawing a closer connection between the campus and the community.” Harper said he believes whole-heartedly that the new Anderson Street can lead to this connec-tion and has in fact already drawn Greencastle and DePauw closer together. The project has even be partially funded by Greencastle through the Stellar Communities Grant.

“The project was run by the city with our coordination, and we’ve built a pretty good connec-tion with the city,” Harper said. “I’ve heard that everyone’s excited

for the new look. The vision from President Casey has always been a pedestrian campus, and I think the renovations will invite people to take a walk down the street.”

Gray believes that despite the inconvenience of construction this past semester, the ends justify the means.

“The beautification of campus has come a long way since I was a freshman,” Gray said. “It makes it more pleasurable walking out of Beta and seeing tree-lined streets. It was less than a semester of con-struction— in the long run it will be worth the inconvenience. The trees will grow, and it will last a re-ally long time.”

As far as other campus rehabili-tation projects, Harper stated that requests for proposals to architec-ture firms are already in the works for projects like the new athletic complex, expanding the Lilly Physical Education and Recreation Center, the new center for student engagement and the dining hall.

In the mean time, Harper advises everyone to take a walk down Anderson Street and enjoy the brand new look.

Anderson Street open to pedestrians, almost ready to be opened to vehicles

The metal fences surrounding Anderson Street, which has been under construction since August, were removed Thursday allowing pedestrian traffic along the street for the first time this semester. The street, which was scheduled to be fully operable by Dec. 1 — this Saturday — will likely be ready for all traffic by Dec. 10 according to Rob Harper, assis-tant director of facilities.

lationship between animals and hu-mans. She later founded the Jane Goodall Institute for Wildlife Research, Education and Conservation in 1977 in order to ensure that fieldwork with chimpanzees continues. Today, the Institute strives to address the ability humans have to improve the environ-ment.

The event is scheduled to take place in Neal Fieldhouse because

Owen has heard Goodall can draw be-tween 3000 to 4500 spectators, but he says this can be subject to change.

“What you don’t want to have is an empty gym,” Owen said. “But on the other hand, if you’re paying someone to come and give a speech, you want to get as many people in there as possible to maximize the experience.”

Although the Ubben Lecture Series is open to the public, Timothy Ubben understands the importance of keep-ing the DePauw community in mind when deciding on speakers.

“We certainly want something that

appeals to the kids in school because they are our audience, they are our tar-get,” Ubben said.

Senior Ariella Ford said she was surprised how many students on campus were not completely familiar with Goodall’s work. As an anthropol-ogy/sociology major, Ford referred to Goodall as a “kind of big celebrity for us [anthropology majors].”

Ford is most interested in hearing about Goodall’s current work, but for the sake of people who don’t know about her past fieldwork, Ford hopes she touches on both subjects.

“She’s a very influential person in the field of anthropology,” Ford said. “And I think that her work just really isn’t as talked about as much as it used to be but its still so relevant today.”

Owen was sure to give to credit for a lecture series he is sure will be around for a long time.

“The Ubbens have done a lot for DePauw, but this [lecture series] is a constant drumbeat that continues to give back,” Owen said. “And the great thing about the lecture series is that it should be around as long as DePauw’s around.”

As with the numerous other speak-ers the Ubben Series has brought to DePauw in the past, Owen is very hopeful that Goodall’s lecture will be an influential event for the university.

“When people look back on the roster [of Ubben Lecture speakers]. ... it says a lot of powerful things about this university and the experiences our students have,” Owen said.

Ubben stresses Owen’s hard work with the Lecture Series and the success it has had.

“As long as Ken’s around, we’re go-ing to have a good lecture series.”

But Dunbar is “trying not to be negative,” and said that later in the year, when she heard the Starbucks was final-ly opening, she was “thrilled.”

At first, it seemed that Dunbar had good reason to feel this way. The week Starbucks opened, which included Par-ent’s Weekend for DePauw students, Dunbar said the Deli had its biggest week ever, including a record day. How-ever, things have fallen off again since then.

“Alumni Weekend we might as well have been closed,” Dunbar said. “We got the one big boost day and we haven’t gotten anything else since— but I know Starbucks has been doing well.”

However, she remains cautious about placing blame. Food costs have gone up, and customers have gone down. Dunbar said that when these two things happen, “you don’t fare very well.”

Even the holiday season hasn’t boosted sales, and Dunbar said that a few weeks ago she had no special holi-day orders or bookings.

Though she admitted that the Deli has landed a few bookings since then,

Dunbar said that these events are scaled down from what they have been in pre-vious years. The slow holiday season combined with the fact her worst sale months are ahead of her and the con-tinuing construction on the square, has prompted Dunbar to call it quits.

“I just can’t do it anymore — I can’t survive there,” she said.

When told the Deli was closing, De-Pauw freshman Abby Keller was quick to voice her distress.

“I’m actually pretty upset,” Keller said. “I’ve been there a few times and re-ally loved the grilled cheese.”

She added that, as a freshman, she was looking forward to getting to know downtown shops and restaurants better and is saddened that visits to the Deli will no longer be a part of her college experience.

Junior Taylor Richison is also disap-

pointed to hear that the Deli will soon be closing its doors for good.

“It was a nice little place — a hidden gem in Greencastle,” Richison said.

Jacqueline Finney, the manager of Eli’s Books and the Starbucks, said in an email that she was, “sad to hear the Downtown Deli has announced its clos-ing.”

She agreed with Dunbar in saying that business on their end has been running smoothly, but added that the Starbucks was meant only to help local businesses.

“We were not set up as a competitor for local business like the Deli, and we do not offer lunch items to avoid such an issue,” Finney said.

Dunbar herself congratulated Star-bucks on increasing foot traffic in down-town, however, she did question where that actual traffic is going.

“I do wonder if they’re just going to Starbucks, and not the other few small businesses downtown,” Dunbar said.

Though she herself will no longer be a part of the downtown business com-munity, Dunbar urges students, faculty and townspeople alike to “get out and support these businesses.”

Dunbar said she would like to thank the DePauw community as a whole for its support over the last eight years.

The two recent donations to build a new dinning hall and offices for the Civic, Global and Professional Opportunities offices have raised questions concerning what kind of space the Union Building will become for students.

The dining services currently located in the Hub will move into its own build-ing, R. David and Suzanne A. Hoover Hall, leaving space for the Kathryn F. Hubbard Center for Student Engage-ment and various office spaces to meet the university’s needs.

DePauw Student Government Presi-dent Sara Scully and Vice President Mark Fadel were asked by their advisor, Dean of Campus Life Dorian Shager, to find out what students would like to see this building become: office spaces or a social atmosphere, like what’s currently in the building. Scully and Fadel would like to find a middle ground between these two extremes.

Scully and Fadel have started to meet with greek chapters as well as several other student organizations to get feed-back about what students would like to see in the current Hub’s dining area.

“We are going to organizations and

talking to students to have a better sense of how the space could continue to be a real ‘student union,’ even without dining services, and how students would prior-itize ideas for using that space,” Scully and Fadel said in an email.

After talking with students over the past week, Scully and Fadel said many want the building to continue being a central location for student gatherings. They said students suggested continu-ing the current Hub’s 24-hour access, more study group rooms, keeping the ballroom for big groups to meet and po-tentially adding a small café.

Junior Maggie Repko wants to see the Hub become a place for study groups to meet.

“I would like to see more study space because Roy O. gets too crowded,” Rep-ko said. “The Hub is also a more central for any student to get to.”

Dean of Experiential Learning and Career Planning, Raj Bellani, views the center as a place to provide students with the support for off-campus study, community service, Winter Term advice, internships and career planning. He also sees it as an important space on campus for students to socialize.

“It will be a central location where students can go to get the support they deserve,” Bellani said.

The new center will be located in what is now the Hub’s dining area, but until an architect firm is found, a plan is drafted and all costs are accounted for, the center will have a temporary location.

The short-term location will take over the unoccupied space where the book-store used to be in the basement of the Union Building.

In addition to collecting student input informally, there is going to be a formal student committee, which will consist of a small group of students to formally discuss what students are look-ing for in this center.

Scully and Fadel will continue meet-ing with students to get more ideas for the center.

“We look forward to continuing organizational visits to gather more creative input,” Scully and Fadel said. “This will be a huge and lasting change to our school, we want to make sure we are incredibly well-versed in student opinion.”

Bellani wants the center to be a central destination to provide students with life coaching.

“It’s where we provided the best ad-vice so students can make best decisions for their future,” Bellani said.

The center is scheduled to launch by September 2013.

Cases of bottled water stacked up outside the UB Ballroom beside a sign that read “Thank you for coming to do-nate blood” on Wednesday.

The Red Cross blood drive was open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. for students and faculty who had signed up to give blood and for those who walked by and felt the urge to donate. Each person who donat-ed blood will save three lives.

Jane Millspaugh, a team supervisor for Red Cross, said the organization likes to go to college campuses like DePauw for drives.

“Most of the students like to do vol-unteer community service, and this is a good way to give back,” Millspaugh said.

Millspaugh said that this particular blood drive is significant since the winter holidays are approaching soon.

“We always have an increased need during the holiday season for blood,” Millspaugh said.

This increased need stems from the fact that a lot of people take time off from work during the time of the holidays, and are likely to be busier than normal to donate blood. Blood drives around this time, like the one held at DePauw, give the staff an opportunity to replenish their blood supply.

“Blood only is good on the shelf for 42 days, so it’s perishable,” Millspaugh said. “We constantly have a need for blood.”

Millspaugh said the goal of this drive was to have approximately 50 people sign up to donate, not counting the stu-dents that walked in without an appoint-ment.

“We always have a good turnout

here,” Millspaugh said of DePauw. “The students are very aware of the need for blood donation.”

Millspaugh, who has been involved with Red Cross about 10 years and helps with three or four drives each week, said the best part of her involvement is work-ing with the donors.

She hopes that the donors from DeP-auw feel that the staff are caring, profes-sional, and knowledgeable, and that the donors will want to make blood dona-tion a part of their routine.

Junior Kenisha White chose to give blood because a fellow friend asked her to volunteer. White thinks it’s important for college students to have an impact on others in this way.

Since she had never donated blood before, she wasn’t completely sure if she would be able to. There are various rules for being a blood donor, and they were posted on the “thank you” sign in front of the UB Ballroom, illustrated by a draw-ing of a stop sign.

Senior Stephen Buchholz has given blood multiple times, and “absolutely” plans to donate again.

“I will give. ... until I die, or for some certain reason a condition arises where I’d be eliminated,” Buchholz said.

Buchholz thinks it’s important for college-aged students to give blood be-cause they are one of the most fertile populations to donate, as they are gen-erally the most healthy and can recover faster than someone who is older. Buch-holz also knows from personal experi-ence that it is very important to donate blood, especially since he is helping someone in some way while doing so.

“When it only takes 30 minutes out of my day to have a positive effect on some-one,” Buchholtz said. “It’s something that you really can’t just say no to.”

The Red Cross: taking 30 minutes to save three lives

YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DONATE BLOOD IF YOU

• Do not have positive identification • Weigh less than 110 lbs. • Are age 18 or younger, donating whole blood and shorter than 5’ (for males) or 5’6” (for females) • Are taking antibiotics • Are a platelet apheresis donor and have taken aspirin in the past 72 hours • Have cold symptoms • Have traveled outside the United States and Canada in the last 12 months • Had cancer in the last 12 months • Donated blood in the last 56 days • Received any vaccine, including for hepatitis B, in the last 8 weeks

Vivie Nguyen always tries to do presentations on issues that people may not have thought about too deeply.

Nguyen, the assistant director of Campus Life and Cultural Resource Center, looks to pop culture and the media to see how she can decon-struct it with a feminist lens.

“Queer Eye for the Straight Hip-ster: The Influence of Queer Culture on Fashion” was no different in that respect. The event, both organized and presented by Nguyen, took place Wednesday, Nov. 28 from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Center for Spiritual Life.

“I’m really trying to reach a wide audience, but also look into identity and biases and aspects of queer cul-ture that affect not only gay individu-als, but also straight people as well,” Nguyen said of the presentation.

For this particular presentation, she chose to focus on fashion, and how gay individuals in the industry effect it. Nguyen specifically exam-ined the hipster look, and how it stemmed from queer culture.

“That, for some people, makes it difficult to identify by physical traits and by dress who’s queer and who’s not,” Nguyen said.

Nguyen said that while this phe-nomenon can effect the interactions in people’s dating lives, there are also positives that can come of it.

“Those are the things I’m talking about, that maybe people haven’t considered before,” Nguyen said.

The presentation was composed of this type of cultural commentary. Nguyen discussed the top gay men in the fashion industry, how the main-stream audience viewed the merge

of sexuality and style on the runway, what it means for gay men to dress straight women and gender expres-sion and dress in queer culture.

Nguyen noted that people weren’t as openly gay in the past as they are now, and how they dressed used to be an indicator, or “marker,” of their sexual orientation. She then introduced the term “metrosexual,” which emerged during the presen-tation, followed by the rise of queer culture within the mainstream. She then introduced the hipster trend, which welcomes androgyny.

She said it was good that androgy-ny had become more acceptable, but that this could present dating prob-lems, particularly for gay men. If a gay man depended on a physical marker of orientation, he could risk encoun-tering a homophobic person and put himself in a dangerous situation.

After Nguyen finished her pres-entation, she invited the student at-tendees to discuss the various topics, paying particular attention to the idea of markers.

Though dramatic haircuts were suggested as a possible marker for queer women, sophomore Lindsay Gay had a different perspective.

“Coming from the black commu-nity. ... that’s never been a marker for me,” Gay said of hairstyles.

Though the way that they dressed might be an indicator, she didn’t as-sume based on clothing, either. She instead used social cues to figure out someone’s sexuality.

Nguyen noted that in Indiana, she doesn’t see many blatant mark-ers, sparking discussion from the students about how much DePauw’s fashion climate differs from that of a big city.

“Maybe that’s why we’re not noticing it as much here, which ul-timately, I think, makes it more dif-ficult,” Nguyen said.

Senior Jordan Ragasa, an attend-ee, thought the presentation was insightful.

“I never really thought about the connection between queer culture and hipster culture, and how there’s that interplay between how the hip-ster movement is kind of normalizing queer culture in the mainstream,” Ragasa said.

Ragasa thought the discussion af-terward gave the audience a chance to analyze what they heard, since a lot of students don’t often talk about queer topics on campus.

“We don’t really have spaces where we can articulate how main-stream society views LGBT people,” Ragasa said.

Ragasa said events like this could help people look at the discourse and get engaged in the discussion.

“We’re not just passive recipients of what’s going on,” Ragasa said. “We’re actually analyzing these differ-ent connections.”

“That, for some people, makes it difficult to iden-tify by physical traits and by dress who’s queer and

who’s not.”

School of Music presents second annual Holiday Gala concert

In addition to showcasing the talent of the School of Music, the Holiday Gala also kicks off the weeklong “Greencastle: A Home for the Holidays” celebration. Other seasonal activities include:

Saturday, Dec. 1, sunset: Bonner Scholars will be lighting luminaries around the DePauw campus

Saturday, Dec. 1 & Sunday, Dec. 1: Provided by Civic Fellows, the Putnam County Giving Tree will be present during both Holiday Gala performances and during the Lights of Love event on Tuesday. The tree helps to provide families in need of

assistance with desired gifts during the holidays.

Tuesday, Dec. 4, 6:00 p.m.: The Greencastle Civic League hosts Lights of Love at the Greencastle Courthouse in honor or remembrance of loved ones. Members from the School of Music and choirs at Greencastle schools will also be performing. This event is free and open to the public.

Sunday, Dec. 9, 5:00 p.m.: The School of Music presents Readings and Carols, a concert of mid-winter songs at Gobin Memorial United Methodist Church. This event is free and open to the public.

“[The concert is] something that makes everyone excited to go home for Christmas and spend time with family. It’s everyone’s favorite songs amplified by 100 when you’re in that environment with live music blasting out holiday cheer.”

Laura Neel, junior and member of University Chorus

By MARGARET DISTLER

[email protected]

When vocalist Laura Neel walked onto the stage of Kresge Au-

ditorium for last year’s Holiday Gala, she was expecting to see an audience of 100.

Instead, she found herself standing in front of the 1,400 audience members for the first annual

Holiday Gala. This weekend, Neel will join over 200 students from

the School of Music in performing its second annual holiday concert. The concert will include music from various holi-day traditions performed by the Chamber Singers, University Chorus, University Orchestra, University Band, Jazz Band and several smaller ensembles. Due to the overwhelming num-ber of attendants at last December’s concert, the ensembles and soloists will give two performances this year: one on Sat-urday evening and a Sunday matinee.

Neel, a junior member of the University Chorus, said the large audience at last year’s gala has motivated the perform-ers to create another memorable kick-off for the holiday season.

“[The concert is] something that makes everyone excited to go home for Christmas and spend time with family,” Neel said. “It’s everyone’s favorite songs amplified by 100 when

you’re in that environment with live music blasting out holi-day cheer.”

Mark McCoy, dean of the School of Music, also said he thinks gala attendees will enjoy what the concert has to offer.

“The holidays are about getting together with friends and family, and this is that opportunity musically,” McCoy said. “This is a great opportunity to come and hear a lot of differ-ent styles and types of music by a lot of different, talented musicians.”

While the School of Music presents a vari-ety of concerts during the school year, McCoy said the Holiday Gala is “radi-cally different” since it fea-tures over 200 musicians in one performance.

McCoy, upon his hir-ing as the dean in 2011, has wanted to develop concert audiences and expose more community members to the wealth of talent in the School of Music. Since he started the Holiday Gala tradition at Shepherd University, McCoy thought a holiday con-cert could help break down the divide between De-Pauw and the Greencastle community.

“I think sports and music are the front porch of the university,” McCoy said. “They’re the folks that reach out to the community and invite folks on.”

McCoy hopes that as more community members realize the talent in the School of Music, the audi-ences will grow. He’s already seen an improvement.

The number of attendees, known as the house, is up almost 30 percent this year.

“The School of Music does such good things all the time, all year round, that they need to be seen,” Neel said. “People need to come and enjoy what we’re putting on.”

Like Neel, senior vocalist Emma Scherer is interested in getting more community members to the concerts.

“It’s really great to see unfamiliar faces come into the GCPA, see this beautiful build-ing and experi-ence all of the ensembles that are so talented,” Scherer said.

While Scherer will be perform-ing with the Uni-versity Chorus during the Gala, she has also used the event as an opportunity to combine her interests in busi-

ness relations and music. As part of their Management Fellows seminar this fall, Sherer and three other seniors made personal visits to area businesses asking for help with advertising the concert.

“That was a really good way to add that per-sonal touch and get the word out to Greencastle locals about the Gala,” Scherer said.

Prior to the concert Saturday night, several local res-taurants will be providing dinner specials and ensuring

that guests arrive at the concert prior to the 7 p.m. start time. These restaurants — which include 2 West at the Inn at De-Pauw, Almost Home, Chief’s, Final Approach, The Fluttering Duck, Mama Nunz and Monical’s Pizza — will also distribute vouchers for free tickets to the Holiday Gala. Details of the dinner specials can be found on the School of Music’s web-site.

While the Saturday concert is expected to last over 90 minutes, the Sunday matinee will be approximately 60 min-utes. Janice Bagwell, event coordinator for the School of Mu-sic, said even though the matinee includes fewer songs and is more geared towards children, students are still welcome to attend. McCoy also hinted that Santa might make an appear-ance during the Sunday performance.

Those interested in attending one of the performances are encouraged to pre-order their tickets at the Green Center Box Office or through brownpapertickets.com. While tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the door for community members, there is also a “pay what you can” option. There is no admission fee for DePauw students, children or senior citizens.

Even though McCoy has received feedback regarding ticket prices, he said people should be willing to support art-ists. He’s also found that people often tend to equate free with no value.

“Art isn’t free, and this is an educational institution,” Mc-Coy said. “We’re not teaching people wisely if we’re teaching them that art is free. Art is very expensive — it’s dear to us, and we should be willing to support it.”

Regardless of ticket prices, McCoy hopes the Holiday Gala will help community members and students alike real-ize what talent is in the School of Music.

“We’re hoping it just becomes a part of life at DePauw and the holidays in Greencastle.”

EDITORIAL POLICY

email us at [email protected]

In 1867, DePauw University adopted the then-con-troversial practice of admitting women into our fine institution.In hindsight, it seems this policy is a no brainer.

Women are not only equal to men in terms of mental aptitude and work ethic, but they actually attend college at higher rates than men and bring a key perspective to the classroom. Although we were over 50 years ahead compared to the ratification of the Nineteenth Amend-ment, it still seems shameful that at one point we as an institution would have discriminated against someone based on a trait they were born with.

But, the sad reality is that there is still an institution that has missed the memo about equality of the sexes by almost a century compared to the Nineteenth Amend-ment. Over half of our student body — any of you not graced with a Y chromosome — would be rejected by Wabash College’s Admissions Office before your applica-tion got past M / F question.

There may at one point have been a time for gen-der segregated higher education though that time is no more. The Wabash paradigm makes the statement that the institution still believes there is an advantage, thus a superiority to male only environment. We have no doubt that Wabash College is an outstanding institution (full

disclosure: Stewart’s father and uncle graduated from Wabash and another uncle from DePauw), with a tre-mendous record of success.

Look to the front page of their admissions website where it says, “Wabash challenges young men to take their lives seriously,” How then, Wabash, can your own students take their lives seriously when they are in an environment that is far removed from reality? Liberal arts is about heated debate among viewpoints but open acceptance of all who come to the table. Wabash, DeP-auw and other liberal arts universities aim to construct a well-rounded human being that is capable of critical thinking, deep understanding and the ability effectively express one’s opinions. Wabash however, immediately limits their students to the opinions of only other male students.

Women who are in similar situations — striving to earn a college degree, find their place and develop world views — are unable to offer their perspectives to the men of Wabash in a collegiate setting.

Therefore, when the day comes that August National Golf Club (a club that did not allow black members un-til 1990) allows women into their membership, so too should Wabash College.

The DePauw editors just reminded us that on Aug. 20, 2012 Augusta did admit for the first time, two women into their club. Your move, Wabash.

The recently-announced closing of Downtown Deli comes as a sad blow to the downtown square and will leave an empty space on the corner next to Star-bucks.

Causation is hard to prove, but the correlation won’t be missed. The com-munity will undoubtedly view this as an indication that Starbucks, predicted to spark business, has had the opposite effect. In the big picture of town-gown relationships, the timing stinks.

Lynda Dunbar, owner of the Deli, has multiple reasons for shutting down the diner such as rising food prices and less customers, but points to problems that began in the summer 2012 with a slump in business that coincided with the construction of Starbucks. It’s important to note that historically, Greencastle restaurants are prone to bow out after a few years of operation.

Dunbar is a busy woman. She works as Greencastle’s Clerk-Treasurer in tan-dem to running the Deli; splitting time between a demanding public position and a café can’t easy to balance. With the business in a rough spot, perhaps, closure was her best choice.

So what’s going to happen to the empty space with supposedly a golden spot opening up right next door to the most popular stop on the square? Who’s going to be the next company or small business owners willing to take a gamble on Greencastle?

We can only wait and see and hope others don’t follow suit. The Blue Door has already shortened its hours (but returned them), and the manager has ex-pressed serious strain on business from Starbucks.

We hope this is the only restaurant to fall in the wake of Starbucks, and that the original forecast for a positive impact on Greencastle will start to take place in noticeable developments in the square. The building of a parking garage on the square holds the expectation of more traffic.

Hopefully, the restaurants and businesses on the square will see more circu-lation of costumers, instead of watching students line up at the cash register of Starbucks.

Timing speaks, right or not

I’ve been sick for about three weeks now, and I still have not completely recovered. Part of the reason for my prolonged sickness is that I

was never given the chance to rest and get well, which I accredit to the university’s lack of a clear and universal attendance policy.

College campuses breed disease between the lack of sleep, abundance of stress, cramped liv-ing areas, and the fact that we come into contact with several hundred people a day. The attend-ance policy outlined in the student handbook leaves the number of days missed up to the individual professor. That’s great, but some professors give you only a small amount of days that you are allowed to miss before disciplinary actions are taken, which can include being re-moved from a class.

Having an attendance policy, in general, does not foster the type of individual that the

university has repeatedly stated they want us to be. This overly vague policy provided by the uni-versity is harmful to its students.

I think a no attendance policy is far better. Each of us pays $40,000 a year to go here. If we want to waste our money by not going to class and not doing well in the course, why should the university stop us? Especially considering the fact that anybody who has a poor GPA have consequences such as academic probation, as per the student handbook.

Not to mention, not having an attendance policy provides students with an intrinsic desire to go to class, which in turn makes it more en-joyable. One of my professors does not allow for us to miss, unless we are sick and have been to the Wellness Center, which still does not provide time for recovery. As a result, I dread going to that class because I am forced to go.

On the other hand, another one of my pro-fessors has an open attendance policy. She could honestly care less if we are there. She wants us there, but because she does not force us to be there (with the exception of tests, quizzes, pres-entations, and graded discussions), the vast ma-jority of the class is present. As a result, I love

going to her class. Ironically, her class is at 8:10. Hypothetically, I could sleep in, but because

the choice is left up to me, I go to class because I want to. I’d argue that the majority of students at DePauw would make the same decision as me, simply because that is the type of student attracted to DePauw.

With being forced to go to class regardless, students come to class sick as a dog, which is detrimental to not only their health, but the health of others.

This vague policy leaves the decision on whether or not a student has to come to class, without any regard to certain circumstances, up to the professors, when the ultimate decision should be up to the individual student.

Thus, the university needs to revise its at-tendance policy and either have a set number of days that students can miss throughout a semes-ter, or better yet, not have an attendance policy at all.

Stop the Vandalism

For the second time in four years, the bench in front of First Christian Church on Indiana Street has been vandalized. The first time was several years ago, and the bench was destroyed. It had been placed there in memory of the parents of one of our mem-bers. It was replaced with a bench given in memory of another of our deceased mem-bers. Yesterday, I arrived to find that the bench had been ripped from its mountings on the concrete pad. Fortunately, it was not otherwise damaged.

It is not just us. The neighboring office has had its fence destroyed several times.

The Church takes much effort to keep this corner as a beautiful and peaceful place. Two of our members are gardeners, and spend hours every summer with the plants. It is a symbol of the beauty and peace that we find in our worship of the Lord. And to destroy the monuments to loved ones is an act without sense.

To those who have committed these acts, you know who you are. We invite you to worship with us to find a better use for your obvious physical strength.

A 26-year-old tradition will continue this weekend in Erdman Natatorium when the men’s swimming team competes in the Ti-gers’ Invitational.

DePauw is hoping to take first place for the fourth straight year at the home invita-tional.

DePauw finished second in the Woehnker Invitational at Wabash College two Saturdays ago with 645 points, behind Div. II Univer-sity of Indianapolis, who placed first with 681 points. DePauw is now eager to get back in the pool to host the DePauw Invitational this Friday and Saturday.

“After our last invitational, we have been going through a recovery period,” head coach Adam Cohen said. “The team is cutting back on yardage during practice to be well rested for the rest of the season.”

The Tigers will be going up against seven other Div. III teams: Wittenberg University, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Illinois Wesleyan University, Transylvania University, Rhodes College, Franklin College and Millikin University.

“The team’s biggest challenge will be mental because we are in the middle of our season and are still striving to perform at our highest level,” Cohen said.

DePauw outscored Wittenberg and Rose-Hulman and in previous meets and invitation-als this year. This weekend will be the first op-portunity for the Tigers swim against Kenyon, who took second in the NCAC championship last year, which Denison University won.

“The depth of our team is our biggest strength,” Cohen said. “Even our seventh and eighth swimmers are really great swimmers.”

The Tigers preliminaries will start at 9:30 a.m. Friday and Saturday. Finals are slated for 6:15 p.m. on Friday and 4:30 p.m. on Satur-day.

GENEVA, N.Y. - Caroline Torie is defined by teammates and coaches as consistent.

That doesn’t just mean she’s consistent on the field in ability, but consistent meaning she’s never absent from the field.

The senior field hockey midfielder played in all 82 games in her collegiate career — a DeP-auw record. She never missed practice because, as she said, she’s never dealt with injury. Torie describes herself not as the most talented player on the field, but one that takes satisfaction of being a distributor to one of the top offenses in Div. III.

That’s a change from what she used to be in high school.

“I scored a lot in high school,” she said. “Go-ing into DePauw, I thought anything could hap-pen. I just wanted to put my best foot forward, and I guess coach liked my style of play, so I was lucky. I was able to mesh with the upperclass-men as well.”

Head coach Gina Wills slotted her into the midfield as a freshman, and tasked her with making stops and intercepting passes, then making pinpoint passes to forwards.

“It fits me a lot better,” Torie said. “I feel like

I could step up to be a shooter, but we have so many talented front line girls that filling in my role in the midfield is what’s needed.”

The only adjustment Torie said she had to make was on her fitness.

That’s improved over the years, and this season she was seen as the one of the top, well-conditioned players on a high-paced Tigers team.

“She never has an off-day, you can rely on Carol back there,” senior Bridgette Shamleffer said. “Since freshman year, she’s worked really hard and gotten her speed up. If the ball gets behind her you know she will recover back. She never gives up and just keeps going.”

Torie started all 20 games her freshman year and tallied three assists. Through her sopho-more and junior years she continued to start and notched three more assists.

In her senior year, Torie discovered her scoring stroke again, and found the cage on two occasions. Head coach Gina Wills called her senior captain a vital cog not just in distributing the ball to the offense, but dropping back on defense to intercept passes.

“It’s never flashy, but she always gets the job done,” Wills said. “She might not be the person who is assisting or scoring the goal, but she is the person leading up to the play. She’s al-ways the player that’s doing everything. People

sometimes don’t notice her, but I notice her all the time.”

Wills said what has made Torie a more com-plete player throughout her collegiate career is her improvement on defense.

“Every year that has been my No. 1 goal to improve,” Torie said. “I’m not quite where I want to be with that, but in the big games I’ve played in, my mindset is moving my feet faster, and I get to the ball before the girl is able to pass to another teammate.”

This year, Torie stepped up in a greater lead-ership role along with fellow seniors Shamleffer and Margaret Ellis. Shamleffer said what Torie brought most was her confidence in practice and in games.

“Even freshman year, she had a lot of confi-dence on the field,” Shamleffer said. “The team looks up to her, and she is always calm, cool and under control. Margaret and I aren’t always the most calm. She’s very nice and everyone gets along with her.”

Added Torie, “I like being with my team-mates the most. I like the satisfaction that comes with making a good pass or a good shot. I also like the satisfaction of knowing that I’m a senior, and it’s my job to be a role model for the younger players. I like being able to give the underclassmen advice and being a mentor and support system if they need it.”

Consistency’s key for Caroline Torie

GENEVA, N.Y. – With time winding down, Margaret El-lis took the ball after a whistle and sprinted down the field.

There was just one problem — a foul was called on DeP-auw, and it was Tufts University’s ball.

Ellis’ frustration was clear as the team’s biggest strength, stick-to-stick passing, was virtually eliminated by a funda-mentally-sound Tufts team.

On McCooey Memorial Field at William Smith College almost two weeks ago, the Tigers were downed, 2-0, in the NCAA Div. III field hockey semifinals – the first time DeP-auw (21-2) was shutout all year.

“I’m very proud of the team and the way they played to-day,” DePauw head coach Gina Wills said after the game. “They’ve had a tremendous year, and that’s a testament to how hard they’ve worked all year.”

In the 27th minute, Tufts got on the board first off of a penalty corner.

The pass went to freshman Dakota Sikes-Keilp who un-leashed a shot from the top of the scoring circle that blew past DePauw’s defense and into the left corner of the cage.

“I didn’t really look up,” Sikes-Keilp said. “I just ignored the goalie and shot it.”

The first half ended with DePauw being outshot, 7-4, and the Jumbos holding the edge in corners, 8-7.

“Tufts stepped up, and they were there on defense,” Wills said. “We just weren’t quite able to get it in, and the goalkeeper did a great job of recovering and getting to the right spot to make the play.”

Added Tufts head coach Tina McDavitt: ”[DePauw’s] tackles were so consistent, and I think they were really strong on the ball. ... That took us a while to figure out what they were doing so we could go around them.”

Out of halftime, Wills moved Ellis out of her center for-ward position to a sideline spot to get the ball on the stick of DePauw’s greatest scorer in history.

“I got a little flustered, especially in the first half, and that’s why I was moved outside to the wing,” Ellis said.

DePauw’s passes were intercepted one after another, and the Jumbos added another goal off of a corner in the 57th minute that all but put the game away.

The Tigers took just one shot in the entire second half compared to Tufts’ five. In total, the Jumbos outshot DeP-auw, 12-5, and held the advantage in corners, 11-9.

The 21 wins on the season is the most in program his-tory, and the senior class of Ellis, Shamleffer and Caroline Torie finished with an overall record of 62-20.

“It’s hard when you don’t play your best in your last game,” Ellis said. “But we did so well and made it so far, and it’s hard especially as a senior. I’m clearly upset, but I’m so proud of this team.”

GENEVA, N.Y. – Nestled in the cor-ner of the DePauw athletic department sits Gina Wills amidst stacks of paper with the door wide-open.

It was no different on the road be-fore the NCAA Div. III semifinals.

The DePauw field hockey head coach constantly carried her laptop and various papers while talking to her players, and it’s not all about the game.

That is what’s core in Wills’ philoso-phy as the head of the field hockey pro-gram: an emphasis on the players and making sure the game is an enjoyable experience. Her players know she’s available and talk to her frequently.

The philosophy has paid off.DePauw won its first ever NCAA

playoff game this season, and Wills was named the NCAC’s coach of the year for her team’s perfect 16-0 record in the regular season and conference title. While she is quick to attribute the suc-cess to the team, her first coach of the year recognition was meaningful.

“It is nice to be recognized by my peers in the conference,” Wills said. “I think we have a lot of good coaches in the conference, so it’s nice to be se-lected out of the group.”

Wills graduated from Centre Col-lege in 2004, and then was an assis-tant coach for three seasons at NCAC competitor Earlham College. She spent a year at Washington and Jefferson College, and then came to DePauw in 2007.

As a four-year starter at Centre, Wills said she was led by four differ-ent head coaches that helped her see many different coaching styles. She learned from all of those coaches and developed since taking the DePauw job five years ago.

For seniors Caroline Torie and Bridgette Shamleffer, they have seen Wills grow as a coach in a few different ways, one being her low-key but some-times intense, attitude.

“She’s more confident with herself, and that has transferred to her players,” Torie said. “We all know she was a great player herself and has the credibility to tell us to run because we know she

went through it herself.”Wills played primarily as a defender

at Centre and her defensive mindset is evident in this year’s team. The Tigers lead Div. III in goals against average, and there isn’t one player on the team that doesn’t drop back and help on defense.

The defensive attitude is balanced by her assistant coach, Molly McCue, who was a forward at Denison Univer-sity.

“She sees things I don’t see, and I see things she doesn’t see at first,” Mc-Cue said. “I look at the forwards, and she looks at the defense.”

The defensive mindset is what players bought in to, and what was the catalyst for overall success this season. But it came from players’ willingness to accept criticism from Wills, and a desire to get better.

“She’s watching us do these drills, and if she sees we’re not working 110 percent she’ll call you out on it,” Torie said. “She communicates to you what you’re doing wrong and how you can improve is really her strength.”

Not only does Wills possess a detail-and fundamental-oriented field hockey mind, her personality is contagious.

“She makes jokes that are subtle so you have to catch them,” Shamleffer said. “She’s funny and calm, and likes to focus on the positives. We try not to yell at each other, and she encourages positives.”

Wills has never coached a losing team in her tenure at DePauw. It’s been a steady increase in wins the past four years: 12-8 in 2009, 13-7 in 2010, 16-3 in 2011 and now 21-1.

“She’s a really good recruiter,” Shamleffer said. “Our team has gotten better and better each year. That’s re-ally helped out team develop.”

Added Wills, “I’ve always shared with them the goals of the program: to win the conference tournament and go to the national tournament. . . . [The success] feels all of a sudden. I knew they had it in them, and it’s nice to see this year that we’ve been able to accomplish this. While we do have lot of talent, a lot of the success comes from the ability to play to each other’s strengths.”

The way of WillsBy MICHAEL APPELGATE

GENEVA, N.Y. - In the regular season, Maggie Steele looked bored.

To pass time, the sophomore goal-keeper sang songs like Taylor Swift’s “We are never ever getting back together” and Elton John’s “Bennie and the Jets” because the defense in front of her halt-ed opponent’s attacks before they had a chance to shoot.

In the second and third rounds of the Div. III NCAA championships, on the other hand, Steele’s ability as the last line of defense was tested, and her talent was displayed. Against Utica College and Mid-dlebury College, she tallied 18 saves to-tal — doubling her save total during the regular season.

She finished the season atop the Div. III standing in goals against average at 0.60 per game.

When the team most needed her, Steele stepped up.

She only started playing field hockey as freshman in high school. Since Steele was in seventh grade, Steele played as a goalkeeper in lacrosse. She started play-ing field hockey because it’s played in the fall and lacrosse takes place in the

spring.“It’s just completely different styles,”

Steele said. “It was the hardest transition going from field hockey to lacrosse prac-tices. I was doing things with my feet that were not working at all.”

Through her high school years, she enjoyed field hockey more and chose to focus on the sport in her junior year.

When she was considering colleges, she focused on playing field hockey only, instead of lacrosse. DePauw graduated a four-year starter in goal the year before, so Steele had an opportunity to start as a freshman.

“I knew I didn’t want to stop playing field hockey,” she said. “I love it so much, and I couldn’t see myself not playing it... The first time I visited DePauw, I hated it. Then when I came for my official visit I decided it was for me.”

At first, Steele said it was intimidat-ing to be the goalkeeper for a team with such a strong and dynamic offense and a talented defense.

She started all 19 games last year, re-corded 32 saves and tallied a 1.19 goals against average.

“When I did see the ball, I didn’t want to make a mistake,” Steele said. “I was re-ally nervous in the beginning of the year, but by the end of the year I felt more con-fident in myself.”

This season, she entered the season with virtually the same defense in front of her. Seven times during the regular sea-son, Steele didn’t have to make a single save as the Tigers’ midfield and defense held possession the entire game. Howev-er, Steele is still credited with an NCAC-record and Div. III-leading 15 shutouts.

“It’s really cool to see, and I never thought I’d be able to achieve that,” Steele said of being atop the goalkeeper statistics. “But it’s not just an individual statistic, it’s a team statistic. It’s the whole thing doing it together.”

Head coach Gina Wills said the NCAA games were tough and demanding situ-ations for Steele — one that she hadn’t seen in her entire career as the DePauw goalkeeper.

“She stepped up huge and showed that she’s a very talented goalkeeper who kept us in the game,” Wills said. “She takes good angles, and she makes sure she follows the ball. She does a great job of blocking the initial shot and then clearing it away.”

Added Steele: “When they start en-tering into the circle, I never take my eyes off the ball. When I see a girl run-ning back post, I’m back there to be the eyes of the defense because there are things going on behind the defenders they don’t know about.”

DePauw cross country’s most successful runner peaked his sea-son at just the right time — the NCAA national championships.

Finishing eighth on Nov. 18, senior Noah Droddy stayed in-state for his last collegiate race in Terra Haute, Ind., and improved one place from last year’s champion-ships. Droddy also cut 30 seconds off his previous course time, which is regarded as one of the fastest courses in the country.

“I went out more aggressive than in previous years,” Droddy said. “Guys broke away right in the first mile, but I hung back with the larger, 10-to-15 range. On the last straightaway, I was able to catch up with them.”

Head coach Kori Stoffregen added: “He actually ran a pretty smart race. Most of the lead group except two really dropped off, so he kind of worked his way up and got a real nice finish.”

One of the big mental advan-tages for Droddy was the close dis-

tance of the championships, a hour away from Greencastle and a hour and a half from his hometown of Indianapolis.

“We had a big group from De-Pauw so that was really nice, also my family and friends from home,” Droddy said. “I was still by myself [before the race], I didn’t let it throw me off. It was my last race, so I was focused on enjoying every bit that I could.”

With the support of his entire team, Droddy also received his second straight All-American hon-ors after his top 10 performance amongst the 280 other runners. Last year, Droddy placed ninth in the nation at Wisconsin-Oshkosh, and 68th as a sophomore.

“To finish top 10 in the country is great, everything has to go right, and he had to be healthy in the important meets,” Stoffregen said. “To get back to that level and fin-ish that high again is a big deal, and he’s real proud of his efforts.”

Droddy isn’t done running yet, however. He will continue running in a few indoor track meets in De-cember, in hopes of qualifying for the indoor national championships.

The DePauw women’s basketball team is ranked first in the country after a sweep this past weekend against ranked opponents.

The Tigers received 23 first-place votes Monday evening to earn the rank-ing by D3hoops.com, followed by Uni-versity of Mount Union in second and University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point in third. Then on Tuesday, DePauw was ranked No. 1 by the USA Today Sports Div. III Top 25 Coaches' Poll with eight first place votes.

"It’s an honor to be ranked No. 1, but the only time it matters is in March," head coach Kris Huffman said Wednesday. "So we need to continue to work hard because the target on our back just got bigger. ... As I’ve told the team all season long, the early polls are just peoples' guesses based on last year’s team and performances. We’re willing to take the challenge."

DePauw competed in the Frontier Communications/Titan Tournament at Illinois Wesleyan University against Wash-ington University in St. Louis and Illinois

Wesleyan. Facing Washington, the No. 6-ranked team in the country, DePauw gutted out a 60-59 win Saturday, then downed the No. 7 team and defending national champion, Illinois Wesleyan on Sunday.

This is the first time the Tigers began the season 5-0 since 2002.

"I think its an honor to be part of such a great team, but we need to realize that any team could be ranked No. 1 at this point, and it just happened to be us,” sen-ior point guard Kate Walker said.

The wins left the team feeling content with their toughness at this point in the season, but they’re still anticipating up-coming challenges.

“We pushed the team hard this pre-season to prepare for this difficult stretch of games,” head coach Kris Huffman said.

Walker led the team with ten total assists, while junior Alex Gasaway led in points, scoring 18 against Illinois Wesley-an and eight against Washington. Junior Alison Stephens and senior Ellie Pearson both notched 12 total rebounds.

For Walker's efforts, she was named NCAC player of the week and was select-ed to D3Hoops.com's team of the week.

“Kate Walker did a nice job handing the press against Illinois Wesleyan,” Huff-

man said. “Savannah Trees had a heck of a shooting day against Wash U. Pearson, Gasaway, Stephens and [Erin] McGinnis have been consistently rebounding. Ali Ross worked her tail off defensively to slow down top guards.”

One struggle the team faced in this first set of games was finishing free throws against Washington University, missing 11 of 29.

“We went down to the wire against Wash U,” Huffman said. “We hit our [free throws] when we needed to. We want to improve our consistency.”

Down by one point with six and a half seconds left in the game against Washing-ton, Walker was fouled and hit both of her free throws. Her baskets, along with Gasaway’s steal as her opponent drove to the basket, won the game against Wash-ington University, 60-59.

Despite the Tigers’ undefeated start, they’re not going to take their first con-ference game Saturday against Denison University lightly.

The Tigers and the Big Red played a close battle last year, finishing with a win, 58-45, and DePauw is expecting nothing less this year.

“They are challenging and have a lot of experience returning,” Huffman said.
