Upon announcing that it will close Sept. 30, the Humane Society of Put-nam County received messages on its Facebook page, in emails and other-wise, expressing outrage at the shel-
ter’s decision to euthanize any animals that are not adopted by the Sept. 30 deadline.
Co-coordinator of DePauw Com-munity Service at the humane society Casie Sambo said the humane society board of directors decided to men-tion the risk of euthanasia to generate
greater motivation for people to adopt animals quickly.
“We knew that when it happened the public was going to become out-raged and upset, and that’s sort of what we counted on, that it would shake them up enough that it would get them actually moving,” Sambo said.
Humane society board of directors member and former president Lynn Bohmer explained that the shelter had been informed that euthanasia would

The DePauw | Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2011
IMPORTANT POINTS FROM THE FACULTY MEETING:
— A new dean position was created to oversee the Civil, Global and Professional Opportunities office due to substantial student traffic. The increase has largely been caused by its highly visual location in the Union Building. The dean will build stronger communications with faculty, alumni and employers. When asked if the position is necessary, President Casey cited the type of students DePauw attracts and the cut in the office’s staff numbers.
— In conjunction with DePauw’s upcoming 175th anniversary, President Casey will recognize 175 distinguished alumni. The faculty will have a role in the nominations, but it was left unclear whether students will have a say.
— Dean of Academic Life Pedar Foss wants faculty and students to brainstorm more effective ways to communicate important deadlines and events to students, specifically content and delivery methods.
— Kate Knaul, director of civic, global and professional opportunities, addressed the change in Winter Term deadlines, saying the amendment was made to distinguish the post-fall break advising week from a separate meeting exclusively for Winter Term conversation. This ensures that advisers will encourage a strong academic component of Winter Term.
On Friday, Nov. 18, the 42nd President of the Unit-ed States of America, Bill Clinton, will visit DePauw in observance of the 25th anniversary of the Timothy and Sharon Ubben Lecture Series.
President Clinton will be
deliver an Ubben lecture. According to the
campus-wide email sent by President Brian Casey on Monday, students, members of the DePauw faculty and staff, university alumni and the public will be invited to attend President Clinton’s lecture at 3 p.m. Friday, Nov. 18, in Neal Fieldhouse, located in the Lilly Center.
tickets will be distributed. Getting him here is the culmination of “almost two
years of work,” said Executive Director of Media Rela-tions Ken Owen.
“I think it’s perfect timing,” Owen said. “He thinks
of the world as a place where we need to get along and have a positive impact. Right now there are concerns we have as a country about where we’re headed, and there are a lot of people who want to engage but get frustrated by the rhetoric. Clinton can be somebody that will charge students up.”
Owen expects the talk to attract about 5,000,
with single folding chairs facing the stage on the south wall.
“We’ve got a world leader coming to campus,” Owen said. “Which really positions us really well that if you have this internal bias, as a prospective student from Texas or an alumnus in New York, that DePauw is a place where things really happen.”
The Ubben Lecture Series, sponsored by Timothy and Sharon Ubben ‘58, was established in 1986. In the past it has hosted other world leaders such as Mikhail Gorbachev, Tony Blair, Elie Wiesel, Benazir Bhutto, Margaret Thatcher, F.W. de Klerk and Barbara Bush.

Sophomore Brian Alkire remembers the exact spot where he stood when he found about the 9/11 attacks 10 years ago.
“I was in fourth grade in music class,” he said. “My teacher told me to go to the office because my grandmother came to pick me up. Being so young, I did not understand the tragedy. I was just excited to go home with my grandmother.”
That was 10 years ago. This year on the anniversary of that day’s tragic events, Alkire and many others gathered in Robe-Ann Park in memory of those affected by the tragedy.
The hour-long event brought the Green-castle and DePauw communities together in remembrance. After the crowd rose for the national anthem and welcoming speech by state representative Jim Baird, DePauwcapella sang a rendition of “Hallelujah,” followed by a reading of events and a song by the Green-castle High School Classics.
Greencastle’s churches also came together to perform collectively in a bell choir, while a variety of people from the community spoke
in reflection of the happenings 10 years ago. A former DePauw English professor and
current Greencastle resident Bob Sedlack ex-plained he came to the event because “9/11 changed our world. We need to remember it.”
His wife Ellen Sedlack expanded, saying, “We were moved by the tragedy a decade ago. We were moved at church and by watching television this morning.”
“Plus we live right across the street, so we had to come,” she jokingly said.
Sporting the team’s polos and khakis, the DePauw men’s swimming and diving team, along with coach Adam Cohen, were a few of the DePauw students in attendance.
“One of our juniors found out about the event, and we decided to support the Green-castle community in remembrance of a tragic event,” said senior team captain Brendan Flores.
Despite bringing the Greencastle and De-Pauw communities together on solemn cir-cumstances, according to Alkire, “It helped everyone remember to be united.”

Ellie May, a bloodhound brought to the Humane Society of Putnam County as a stray, is still waiting for adoption after the humane society annoucnced its closing last week. She and two other hound dogs are promised homes in a rescue shelter if they are not adopted by the Sept. 30 deadline. The other five dogs, however, are still in need of homes.

MTV and academia are not often paired. But De-Pauw alumna Kyle Inman ‘11 is working to bridge the gap art and education in Ireland.
Inman received the Fulbright-mtvU fellowship this past spring and is now
in Northern Ireland. Her research will explore how musical organizations decrease the division
populations that divide the country. Senior Katy Strader, who is considering apply-
ing for a Fulbright fellowship, explained the rarity of receiving such a scholarship.
“It is a competitive scholarship, and Kyle In-man is an exceptional Fulbright case,” Strader said. “There are very few MTV Fulbright scholars.”
Fulbright Program adviser Humberto Barreto mirrored Strader’s comments.
“A Fulbright is a prestigious, competitive award, so when DePauw students win, it is a clear signal of our excellence. There are even rankings of schools and how many Fulbrights they win each year,” Barreto said. “This fall, we have over 20 stu-dents applying. I am excited about our chances.”
Inman, who arrived in Ireland two weeks ago and has since started her research, said she ap-plied for the program seeking to combine her interests.
“I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to combine my passion for music and newfound affection for Northern Ireland into a project that I could pursue into my future academic career,” Inman said.
Strader said she wants to apply because of the many ways one can use the scholarship funding. She also said that the scholarship serves as a way to expand networking and credibility in order to pursue any academic goal.
Inman said receiving the scholarship has al-lowed her to speak highly of her college years and of the education she received while attending DePauw.
“Receiving the Fulbright scholarship has helped me to highlight DePauw’s liberal arts goal of encouraging a well-rounded academic experi-ence for its students,” she said. “The scholarship has allowed me to channel all of my undergradu-ate pursuits into a focused post-graduate project.”
Inman said she took advantage of the guid-ance DePauw provided.
“DePauw opens many doors for students to broaden their perspectives in several directions,” she said.

the shelter along with 28 cats. She felt optimistic that within the remaining two weeks, the
remaining animals will be ad-opted.
Sambo also said the outcry of support and efforts to reverse the closing from DePauw stu-dents have been very meaning-ful for her and for the rest of the board of directors.
“The student reaction has been very powerful and very motivating and inspiring,” Sam-bo said. “I’ve had many students
out ways to keep it open and do everything that they possibly could.”
She said that though the
messages of support and efforts to help are nice to hear, the ef-forts of DePauw students cannot save the shelter at this point.
“I think that the efforts that DePauw students take in order to help the humane society are very profound, but they’re just not enough. I think many stu-dents underestimate how much money it takes to run a humane society,” Sambo said.
Bohmer agreed the society is in too great a state of debt to recover at any point in the near future.

Although many DePauw students complain they can’t get into the classes they want, the administration autho-rized only two national searches for
studies and political science were grant-ed the two positions for the 2012-2013 academic year.
Every year, the university loses a number of professors. Some retire. Oth-ers leave for jobs elsewhere. In the cur-rent budget squeeze, not all professors can be replaced.
The two new hires follow the trend of a dramatic decrease in faculty hiring since a freeze in 2009. Currently, the numbers rest around 200 tenure faculty and 20 term positions.
“Ten years ago the economy was booming and endowment was high,” said Rich Cameron, Chair of the Re-source Allocation Subcommittee.
Departments and programs must go through a complicated approval process to earn the right to make a tenure-hire.
In May, departments and programs can submit a proposal for tenure-po-sitions to the Resource Allocation Sub-committee, a faculty committee that sifts through the proposals and ranks them in a need-based order.
The administration then takes these recommendations and decides how many hires to approve. This year, Con-
each granted a new tenure-track hire for the 2012-2013 academic year.
“[RAS] is the faculty’s way of adding input,” said David Harvey, vice president of academic affairs.
The two tenure hires are serious positions that are held without a limit of time, a position that is highly regarded. Term positions are typically held from one to three years and don’t go through
such an intensive process. This year there were seven propos-
-nesiology, anthropology, classical stud-
studies, in order of rank. The committee’s job is to dissect the
proposal, question representatives from the respective department and make recommendations to the administration.
In this year’s proposals, need in the political science department was deemed “critical,” stating that denying it funding “would do harm.”
-ogy were recommended to the admin-
istration as “proceed with caution” and the other four departments were “not recommended to receive funding at this time.”
As part of the process, the committee

“It came as a surprise for a lot of peo-ple,” said professor Jonathon Nichols-Pethick, who was involved in both the
-posal. “But I totally trust my colleagues, and it was a fair and reasoned set of deci-sions.”
Political science received part of a Mellon Grant in the 2009-2010 academic year, a $595,000 grant that will help develop environmental education at DePauw. Terms of the grant stipulated the university must hire professors to instruct students in different areas of en-vironmental education: one in biology and one in environmental policy.
“Public policy is very important, and we don’t have any expertise in that

While an advertisement for the en-vironmental policy position went out a few weeks ago, the biology position

“We went into it hoping we would get it, knowing we probably wouldn’t,” Nichols-Pethick said. “It’s the idea of putting it forward, probably not getting funded and trying it again.”
Harvey emphasized that denying a particular proposal does not mean the

F -ternative rock fans get a fresh taste of
one of the most popular bands of the last 20 years.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers released their 10th album entitled “I’m With You” this past Monday.
The album includes the single “The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie,” which was released on July 15. This is
de Bump” in 2007.This album is special in many ways
for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. To begin
hiatus, which was a result of long extend-ed time together working and touring off of their album “Stadium Arcadium.”
“I’m With You” also features a new guitarist, Josh Klinghoffer, who is a front man for the band “Dot Hacker.” Klinghoffer has also been included as a session musician for musical acts such as Gnarls Barkley, Beck and the Butthole Surfers.
Klinghoffer replaces guitarist John Frusciante, who left the band for a sec-ond time to work on his solo career. Oddly enough, Frusciante and Klinghof-fer at one time were both co-mem-bers of the band Ataxia.
This album brings a fresh yet consistent taste of what the Peppers have continually re-leased throughout their years together. The band has always had great diversity in their albums and that quality continues on this new release.
One of the main standing points that the group has been known for is their great involvement of smooth, recogniz-able bass lines by bassist Michael “Flea” Balzary. Flea is known for being very di-verse in the way he plays, ranging from slap bass techniques to more of a melo-dious touch.
-cally for Flea’s bass jams, you are in luck. Songs on the album such as “Factory of Faith,” “The Adventures of Rain Dance
Maggie” and “Ethiopia” all start off with very catchy, head bobbing bass lines from Flea that remain triumphant throughout each of the tunes.
Many times when I think of the Peppers, I think of a strong
rhythm on the guitar to open up the song, with a very catchy sing along chorus. Songs from past albums, such as “Scar Tissue” off of the album “Califor-nication,” as well as
“Under the Bridge” off of “Blood Sugar
One song in particular that I believe captivates this theme is “Brendan’s Death Song.” Like “Under the Bridge,” this song starts off with more of a soft,
eloquent guitar intro. This song also in-cludes very deep and poetic lyrics, which like “Under the Bridge,” may serve as symbolism or storytelling of past experi-ences that impacted some of the band members.
Some of the more fun and popular songs by the Peppers have included more of a heavy, funk-like theme. In these tunes, drummer Chad Smith makes a strong impact with simple beats. The perfect song to describe this is “Give It Away,” also off the album “Blood Sugar Sex Magik.” “Look Around,” one of the best overall jams from the new album, could be compared to that song and could easily develop into a RHCP classic.
The Peppers also show off a bit of a softer side on this album. “Happiness Loves Company” starts with a piano in-tro, which serves as the main instrument throughout the song.
The piano appears again in “Police Station,” which resembles more of a soft-rock ballad with a brief transition to
heavier rock towards the bridge of the song.
This mix does not always work, how-ever. One of the last songs on the album, “Even You Brutus?” includes strong, rampant piano while trying to mix too many other sounds along with it. Fruis-cante’s light and high-pitched voice al-ways served as a great backdrop to lead singer Anthony Kiedis’s vocals. This song includes a back chorus that I believe tries to substitute for Frusciante’s absence.
Though this album does not have as many strong singles to make it main-stream quickly, it does deserve a listen and a good review. I suggest it to any rock fan who appreciates a good vari-ety of rock and has suffered from RHCP

Coming from the second largest city in Indiana to what many consider
to be the smallest, I arrived at DePauw thinking that placid, backwater Green-castle could offer nothing to shock, as-tonish or otherwise offend my urban sensibilities.
While Fort Wayne is by no means an exquisite hellhole of high culture and metropolitan depravity like Chi-cago or New York City, it has its fair share of the everyday horrors char-acteristic of urban society — alleyway
-lums, crumbling pavement, etc.
As it turns out, my preconceived notions were wrong. The eccentricity so often ascribed to city residents has followed me as far from the city as I can get.
I am an irrevocable city girl through and through. I’ve lived my entire life in a moderately large me-tropolis and vacationed in some of the largest. I can walk long distances in
high heels and would always choose urban grime over genuine soil.
That being said, my extended family hails from a town not too dissimilar from and not much larger than Greencastle, which has contributed to familiarizing me with the visceral horrors of country life — swimming in murky ponds, dogs disappearing into the clutches of coyotes, walking pigs on leashes as though they were the very same evaporated dogs.
Perhaps in light of a well-rounded world view, I consider my-
strange that such strangeness be-comes rather normal.
My thoughts about the all-too
commonplace nature of eccentricity were rocked this past weekend when my parents visited and we escorted
my sister, who had never before set foot in Greencastle, on a car jour-ney through the community.
While venturing into what may or may not have been the ghetto of Greencastle (is there such a place?), what
to our wondering eyes should appear but the ultimate bromance: two grown men locked in the heat of a deadly driveway battle that can only
be described as jousting.
One exposing
his shirt and the other wearing a shirt surely pilfered from the kitschy closet of Alan in “The Hangover”, they cir-cled one another with pitifully short
lances and comically large shields, jabbing and ducking periodically. As you so often do when grown men be-have like children, we had to circle the block for my sister to snap a photo.
A conversation with my neighbor about LARP (live-action role-play, he tells me) inspired me to widen my ho-rizons and do a little research.
Employing Google, I found that this was not jousting, but rather Dago-rhir: a half-sport, half role-play game invented in 1977 and derived from the combat methodology of Tolkien’s Middle Earth.
form of fencing, but with lances rather than foils.
All that was missing from the pe-culiar Sunday afternoon tableau that I witnessed were the regulation Middle Earth costumes.
This display of geekery and male bravado left me equal parts aston-ished, skeptical and oddly giddy.
How often are we so fortunate as to see people embracing their inher-ent strangeness as opposed to at-tempting to sequester it away?
How often do we see people truly unhinged, unlocked, undone? I thought that I had been around both the city and country blocks, but it seems that I don’t know as much as I thought I did.
I think it good and healthy and necessary to be taken aback from time to time — to see something uncom-mon, to be shocked, to be ripped from the waking reverie of everyday life.
We need to recognize the strange-ness in the extraordinary lest we for-get how strange it is just to be alive at all.

“I think it turned out to be a wonderful afternoon. There was an unofficial count of about 500 people here today and with the rain coming and going and football season starting, we didn’t know quite what to expect. But I think it was important for us as a community to come together and to remember what is good about the community, and we have been
changed by history and we are different people right now, but we still have folks that we depend on ... who need to be celebrated and remembered. I think that was our hope — that we not only remember the past but be grateful for who we have with us today
and every day. I’m just delighted, and to have so many different parts of our community represented I think is what made it very, very special.”
—Mayor of Greencastle Sue Murray
“It meant a lot to me, both as a scout leader and as a state trooper. I’m a trooper with the Indiana State Police, and it just made me feel blessed to have the community support that we have as first responders, and also it was nice to be here today to pay homage, especially with the scouts and how dedicated they were to such a
great flag ceremony that they performed.”—Jason Fajt, leader of Weblos Den Pack 99
“I didn’t know what to expect when I left home, but as soon as I got here and I saw all of our firemen in their suits I got a big lump in my throat. It was really, really powerful for me. I believe that everybody
needs to see how tight-knit we are for a small community. A lot of people complain about living in a small community, but when you see everyone come together that’s what the small community is about,
the coming together of everybody.”—James “Figgy” Hardwick, born and raised in Greencastle
“I thought it was wonderful ... I kept looking, hoping more people would come from every walk of life and congregations. I thought it
was wonderful that our community gave the respect and showed their patriotism. I’ve watched a lot over the TV, and it’s very heartwarming. I
can’t imagine being a loved one that was left after losing a precious son or husband or brother or sister. I enjoyed it very much, and I liked having the university be a part of it, and the high school just all tied together.”

take for granted everything that we are given.”—Jack Burgeson, sophomore

An estimated 500 community members and DePauw students gathered in Robe Ann Park on Sunday to pay tribute to the tragedies and heroes of 9/11. The
As we boarded the plane to Houston, on the way to Cuet-zalan, Mexico for a summer research project, a woman in
front of us said, “Y’all are crazy for goin’ to Mexico. I live near Brownsville and things are gettin’ so bad down there.”
I didn’t mention that I’d spent the past semester in Xalapa, Mexico, and had come back with little more than bug bites.
On the one hand, I understood her concern and the concerns of so many people I talked to, many of whom offered the advice, “Don’t get killed by the cartels,” before I left for Mexico in Decem-ber of last year. After all, between 35,000 and 40,000 people have been killed as a result of what the media calls the “drug war.”
On the other hand, talking about Mexico as “the failed state next door,” as an October 2010 Baltimore Sun editorial put it, didn’t quite square with my expe-rience in Xalapa. In fact, there was only one major shoot-
600,000. Was I just lucky to make it back to the U.S.? I don’t think
so. It’s true that there is violence in Mexico. However, I think we’re getting a very different picture of it here in the North.
Take, for example, the cnn.com headlines covering an Aug. 25 event. At 11:25 p.m., “At least 40 killed in Mexico grenade attack.” At 5:42 p.m. on Aug. 26, the death toll is corrected and we get a generic location: “52 killed in attack at Mexican casino.”
It may seem like a nit-picky detail, but I think the resulting effect is serious.

is the border with the United States and it’s all over-run by cartels. A federal district amid some 32 states is collapsed into a single, violent mental image. It’s true that Ciudad Juárez and Mexico City are often mentioned in headlines, but they’re the exception
rather than the rule.This universalization of Mexico creates
an image of all-out war that just isn’t accu-rate for the country as a whole. It’s true that some states are dangerous. Mexican
friends warned me to stay away from the
instance. But I don’t think that’s enough to declare the whole country a failed
state, war zone or lost cause.The effects are more local than we might initially think.
My study abroad program in Xalapa, for instance, is seeing fewer and fewer applicants every semester because of the fear — not the fact — of local narco-violence. Other pro-grams have already shut down or moved. The loss is ours.
Mexico has its problems, but it also has more than two millennia worth of cultural heritage (including hundreds of archaeological sites), a spectacularly diverse and, in my ex-perience, warm and welcoming people and natural beauty rivaling that of anywhere else I’ve been.
If nothing else, do yourself a favor next time you skim
what’s going on, but where it’s going on, too.

The harsh realties of the economic downturn’s effect on Putnam County often go unnoticed at DePauw.
But with the recent string of Greencastle businesses closing their doors, those realities have been thrown into sharp relief.
The Monon Restaurant, which served as an enduring tie between all members of the Greencastle community — including this university — closed with little warning on Monday.
Soon, those taking refuge in the A-Way Home Shelter will be turned out on the streets.
Abandoned and stray animals will have no haven, when the Humane Society of Putnam County, where many DePauw students volunteered,
We live, like many other Americans, in a community that struggles. Especially now, the residents of Putnam County feel that weight.
We’re glad the university takes a global approach to its philanthropic endeavors. Student organizations such as Building Tomorrow and pro-grams such as Servicio en las Americas do great things, and the students who participate in them should be proud of what they accomplish.
Still, we can’t help but wonder what kind of stewards we are to our
send to those in need overseas, but we can’t seem to scrape together enough for those next door.
Service events hosted by greek houses only go so far. They raise the necessary funds but don’t get the entire community involved.
Greencastle is our home. We should feel socially responsible for what happens here, too. What can be done from this point in time is unclear, but we hope that all members of the DePauw community share this same sense of commitment.
What can we do to help these local charities sustain themselves? How can the campus’s generally inspiring commitment to philanthropy trans-

After years of serving food and a memo-rable experiences to many DePauw and Greencastle community members, the Monon Restaurant closed down unexpectedly in the middle of the day on Monday, Sept. 5. The Indiana Department of Revenue marked the doors of the restaurant with bright orange signs prohibiting owners from conducting further business on Thursday, Sept. 8. Indi-ana’s state website explains that such signage is posted following a business’s failure to pay its back retail taxes. Monon owners Beverly and Jerry Monnett could not be reached for contact by press time.

If the apparent demise of The Monon res-taurant is as final as it looks from the bare
walls and the empty parking lot, the prevailing feeling is sadness from my little corner of the world.
During its heyday, The Monon was one of those unique small-town eateries where a guy in a suit and tie was just as comfortable as the fellow in farm overalls and the mechanic in coveralls.
The biscuits and gravy, gigantic tenderloins and legendary meatloaf manhattans temptingly teased taste buds whether you were wearing Brooks Brothers, Carhartts or Oshkosh, by gosh.
Most of you, I am sure, have memories of The Monon. Good food, good times, good conver-sation.
That’s why it was so sad to be an unwitting part of The Monon’s final act on Monday afternoon ... as the restaurant’s last customers -- maybe ever from the way it looks.
Like many a weekend day before, we found ourselves hun-gry for lunch, while the young people staying in our midst were just rolling out of bed even though it was after noon. The go-to local place for breakfast all the time (at least through Monday) and lunch for others? The Monon, of course.
So wife Ruth, daughter Emily and her boy-friend Josh and I headed to the little place along the railroad tracks, hoping to feed our hunger with good, old diner food. It was about 1:45 p.m. now.
We made our way inside the front door
and stood, waiting for a table. One in the front window had to be cleared so we could sit. But we noticed a tenseness about the place. The waitress was far from her cheery self in wiping down the booth.
And then she dropped a hint. “First I have to tell you what we don’t have,” she began. “We don’t have any hamburger. We don’t have tenderloins. We didn’t have any eggs but they went and got some a little while ago.”
Still, I was thinking, OK, it’s Labor Day. The delivery truck probably doesn’t come in until Tuesday and the holiday probably brought out a bigger breakfast crowd than normal.
A few moments later, the waitress re-turns with our drinks, just as another group is coming through the front door, including a woman in her Scooter Chair.
“I’m sorry, we’re closed,” she tells them as they look around to see sev-eral tables occupied with diners. “We’re just waiting for them to finish eating.”
Actually, we hadn’t even given her our order yet. And when we do, she is sniffling like she’s been crying.
“You OK,” Josh asks her.“Yea,” she is able to voice between sobs.Obviously, Columbo, we know something
is wrong now.Another waitress ventures to the front
door with a paper sign that says: “2:00 closed.” Somebody else locks the door.
We are waiting on our food now, wondering if we will be hustled to eat fast and get out when suddenly comes a great crash from the kitchen, the obvi-ous sound of dishes being bro-ken.
The staff runs to the back, and a few moments later one of the kitchen help storms through the dining area, a towel wrapped around an injured hand.
Bad news seems to have made him dangerous to himself, and he walks out, only to return
a few minutes later.We’re all wondering if our food was on
those flying dishes, just as we’re hoping we’re not about to see someone actually “go postal.”
Nobody wants to talk about it, but the wait-ress at the next table is overheard telling the customers, “Yea, it sucks, especially when I’ve been here 16 and a half years.”
So there we were, flush in the realization we were about to be the last people possibly
ever served at The Monon as we know it.The food really didn’t taste the same after
that.But memories of The Monon came flood-
ing back.I remember setting foot in the place the
first time the night the Skelton-Skinner lumber yard burned on the opposite side of the tracks. It was The Monon Grill then. That was pre-Jer-ry and Bev Monnett and the place was half the size it has been in recent years.
The Monon became a weekend morning staple for my daughters and me. We’d eat a late
breakfast there after Kara’s swim practice was over or Nicole’s paper route was finished.
We got to know the characters. Like the guy who practiced his sermons in a booth there -- out loud.
Or the guy with the briefcase who laughed and carried on conversa-
tions -- with himself (always fun to watch others encounter him for the first time, thinking he was talking to them).
It was the place where Ruth, Pat and Sue and I planned out the best vaca-
tion ever — a long-ago Labor Day weekend trip to Key West that we have longed to repeat but know that the sequel could never match the original.
I even have a great memory of the time my late mother, visiting here from California, ask-ing a waitress at The Monon about the myriad sides on the menu.
The poor girl looked like she’d just been asked to reveal where they keep the Holy Grail when Mom questioned the green beans. “Are your green beans fresh or are they canned?” Mom wanted to know.
Strange, since I had never before heard my mother order green beans in a restaurant.
In a painfully halting response — none-theless framed in perfect “Jeopardy!” fashion — the uncertain young waitress phrased her answer in the form of a question: “Freshly canned?”
Those are among the memories The Monon evokes for me.
And ever since Monday, everyone I have told about our unique situation as the final customers has had the same reaction: Oh, you have to write about that!
So there you have it. Just wish it didn’t have to end this way ...

BANNER GRAPHIC EDITOR LOOKS AT IMPACT OF GREENCASTLE STAPLE
“So there we were, flush in the
realization we were about to be the last people possibly ever served at The Monon
as we know it.”
Anywhere you go in the state of Indiana, there is no avoiding the subject. After Sunday’s blowout loss, it seems a lot of people have jumped off the bandwagon.
Let’s face it. The Colts were just bad on Sunday afternoon. It wasn’t just the offense, it wasn’t just the defense and it wasn’t just special teams. The Colts were beaten in every aspect of the game. Many people want to blame it on
-nitely part of it, it is hard to win any game when giving up 34 points before halftime when up against defense like the Houstan Texans.
Last season, when these two teams met, Manning was 40 of 57 for 433 passing yards and three touchdowns for the Colts, but his efforts were not enough. The fact of the matter is that this is a team that does rely on Manning to dig them out of and keep them from falling into holes.
The offense is different without Manning under center but they still have a lot of talent. Kerry Collins is still learning this new, complicated offense that Manning has been us-ing since 1998 and 208 straight starts.
Yes, the Colts could
could have played better, but what the Colts are really missing is a leader. Everybody in the country knows that Peyton Manning is the lead-er of that football team and that is what they are missing most.
Manning is a great quarterback but so is Ker-ry Collins. I’m not trying so say Collins is better, because he’s not. But he has been selected to two Pro Bowls and thrown for over 40,000 yards
and 200 touchdowns in his career. And don’t forget he led the New York Giants to a Super Bowl in 2000.
In any sport, a leader does way more for the team then just being a great player. Manning has set a lot of records in his career, has made a name for himself and the Colts and guaranteed himself a spot in the Hall of Fame. The Colts don’t need the player. They need him there be-ing a leader.
You can’t blame Sunday’s loss on one guy or one group. You can blame it on a lack of leader-ship. Nobody on the team stepped up, nobody put an end to the bleeding.
I am not even a Colts fan, but I felt bad
against the Texans. A leader makes sure that the team comes out ready to play, and the Colts weren’t ready to play all day.
The Colts have multiple players still on their roster who have been to a
Super Bowl. Even with one of the best quarterbacks to play the
game out, the team still has the talent to be successful. If people thought Manning was just a quarterback, think again. The entire NFL found
out how much he meant to the franchise and how much they need somebody to step up.
If Indianapolis is ready to say goodbye to Manning and nobody wants to step up into a leadership role it will be a long season. Get your Andrew Luck jerseys ready, Indianapolis.

Meyer scored the equalizer goal in Saturday’s game against Earlham College to send the game into overtime, finishing with a 2-1 victory for the Tigers. He assisted on freshman Andy Morrison’s goal in Sunday’s game against the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology for the Tiger’s 3-2 victory. Meyer leads the team in assists with three and is tied for the team lead in goals with three.
“We knew that we needed to get some sort of an offense going down 1-0,” Meyer said. “Coach ended up putting a few more men forward, a ball came to me out of the box, and I got off and scored the equalizing goal. Once we had that one we knew we had the momentum to get the next one. We’re definitely dominating every game. Teams are tending to put 10 guys behind the ball so that’s hard to break through.”

Coming off a dominating 9-0 victory over Mar-ian College last week, the men’s tennis team was looking for improvement in every aspect of indi-viduals’ games.
The main strength of the team thus far has been its doubles play. But the team has improved singles play since its Fall Invitational this weekend.
“There are still some areas to improve in the singles,” said assistant coach Andrew Gregory. “But with doubles, they were impressive.”
Still, Gregory said the team played better match-es in doubles and singles in comparison to Marian.
“I think it was just inconsistency and lack of
match play,” Gregory said of the high and low points of the singles matches. “It’s early in the fall season so many of them are hoping to build on that and keep continually improving that match play so
The team found itself facing tough competition on the court in singles matches Saturday.
“I started off by playing a couple of hard matches on Sunday, and I think everyone was playing hard matches that day,” said junior David Moss. “The main thing for me on Sunday was that our team was
Gregory agreed and said the team didn’t have any bad singles matches on Sunday.
“I think a lot of it is these guys are running a lot and getting their conditioning in,” he said. “They
are hitting a lot of balls, so they’re getting their rhythm back and footwork which works with tim-ing. A lot of these guys are improving each week.”
In singles, Gregory said the one area that still needs improvement is placement on the second serve.
“We have to improve on serve placement and picking up on opponents’ weaknesses on their re-turn,” he said. “I saw too many double faults. Add more spin to those second serves and be consistent with those.”
get in, Moss said the second serve can still dictate play if it is placed in the right area of the court and the opponent has to get out of position to return it.
“Our second serves are the place where we let
down a little bit,” Moss said. “On the second serve you’re really trying to still manage to move some-one off the court even though it may not be as fast of a serve but still position it whether they can set up a point.”
the Tigers hope to continue developing their talent and working on their weaknesses.
“You can practice but it takes time to not only get into physical form but mentally getting pre-pared for a match,” Moss said. “I think this weekend we made a big step getting back towards getting mentally ready for big matches.”
The team will travel to Peoria, Ill. next weekend for the Bradley Invitational.

Senior forward Sam Meyer received the ball in front of the goal box and buried it in the back of the net, evening the score at 1-1 against Earlham and ending an afternoon of frustration for the DePauw offense. After out-shooting their opponents 25-13 in regulation time, having one of their shots sneak by the goalkeeper was a relief for the players.

“We have to get more intensity and win the balls in
our box,” said sophomore defender Louie Souza. “We have to get more pride and realize that one slip up can cost us and that will put more pressure on the offense to score more goals.”
Rose-Hulman and Earlham both scored on coun-ter-attacks when the DePauw offense turned over the

“It will take a better mindset,” Souza said of the ne-cessities in improving the team’s defensive play. “We are moving ourselves into position to make a play, and we have to understand that we have to make the play ourselves. We cover each other very well but it comes to that one moment where we have to really step up and get that ball out.”

probably do a lot of shooting,” Meyer said. “Our coach loves the term ‘get to the post’ and it’s proved in the past to work. A lot of our goals come from getting around the defense and slotting it across, so I’m sure we’ll do a fair amount of drills regarding that.”
On defense, the team will work on maintaing that intensity it brought in the second half against Rose-Hulman.
“What it was going to take is going 110 percent on every play. Rose-Hulman came out with a little bit
little gassed and we just had to keep up the pressure.”
