New DCGA fund to give out over $200,000 to student orgsBy Hillary WebbSpecial to !e Denisonian

Need books? You can !nd them at the bookstore. Need a notebook? You can !nd one at the bookstore. Need Denison ap-parel? You can !nd it at the bookstore, but beware, they may not have it in your size.

Students that wear bigger sizes than oth-ers are not able to !nd their sizes when try-ing to purchase a T-shirt, sweater, or jacket from the DU bookstore.

Lately, the talk on campus among plus-sized students is that the bookstore does not o"er their sizes. According to the bookstore, there have only been a few stu-dents that have addressed the issue, but not enough to make the change happen.

“#e only item I have bought from the bookstore for the three years I’ve been here is a hat; the bookstore should start purchas-ing more quantity of larger items and rec-ognize not everyone is a 2XL” said Robert A. Barry, a junior from Chicago, Ill. “#ey must understand that although the popula-tion of heavy set students are low, we still attend Denison, and we should be able to express our school pride and purchase the apparel.”

According to Joe Warmke, manager of the bookstore and Business Services, whether they order more clothes in larger sizes depends strongly on student demand. If enough students stress that the bookstore doesn’t o"er their size, then the bookstore management will try to make more sizes available. Warmke has been working at the Denison bookstore since 1991, “the book-store only had one sweatshirt, one T-shirt and one co"ee mug” said Warmke.

Budget hearings, reallocation requests, and funding anxieties are some of the in-evitable challenges that come with being a student organization on campus. However, with the DCGA now doling out $200,000 in a special “capital fund,” those challenges can be a little less stressful.

#e capital fund, which was established by a DCGA resolution passed last month, is mandated to !nance signi!cant facilities and equipment purchases by student orga-nizations.

“I think this can bene!t organizations over the long term,” said DCGA Finance Chair Amy Huang, a junior from Chongq-ing, China, about the new opportunity for organizations to apply for money from the growing fund. “#e money has been sitting there not being used for students on this campus, and the [potential] capital pur-chases can last for a long time.”

Grant applicants must meet several cri-teria set forth by the Finance Committee, including promises of sustainability and long-term bene!ts of the organization’s purchase (lasting at least 5 years), a dem-onstrated need for the resource in question, and a cost of over $500.

DCGA Public Relations chair Lauren Tyger, a sophomore from Mt. Pleasant, Penn., encouraged student organizations to seize the opportunity to make ambitious purchases.

“We would like the student body to be aware of what is available to them,” she said Anyone that’s involved in an organization should be thinking about this and putting together big potential purchase ideas.”

#e Denison Campus Governance Association (DCGA) capital fund, was originally intended to be a reserve fund in which the DCGA would maintain 10% of their annual budget in case of any unex-pected de!cit.

However, in the past several years, the terms of allocation toward the fund were misinterpreted so that each year the DCGA added 10% of their budget to the fund in-stead of maintaining 10%. #e fund has steadily grown since 1999 and has main-tained a surplus every year (with the excep-tion of one), resulting in a current balance of $808,000.

#e DCGA resolution establishing the fund, which was sponsored by Huang and DCGA Rules Committee Chair Ian #om-as Shapiro, a junior from Xenia, Ohio, sim-ply redirected $200,000 from the reserve fund to the capital fund.

sure whether to make it a practice or to work with the individual, because we want to order items that will sell,” said Warmke.

#e process in which the bookstore orders the apparel is quite simple. A sales representative from a national apparel company usually approaches university of-!cials pitching their clothing line. Lisa Ol-mstead, General Merchandise Supervisor, then makes the decision of which clothing would look best with a Denison logo on it.

In the installation at Burton Morgan, Kaplan hung a ring of panoramic photos around a 14-feet tall reconstructed silo made from 168 rolled galvanized steel shingles. He also placed 4 feet by 8 feet sheets of oriented strand board printed with 200 photographs taken at di!erent times at Deeds Farm for $ooring. For the outer rung of the panorama, Kaplan took 49 photographs of Deeds Field in Granville, Ohio, and combined 108 separate images of cows at Shipley Dairy Farm in Utica, Ohio for the inner rung. #e exhibit at Burton Morgan also features 12 images that document seasonal change in a high tunnel at Northwest Organic Farm in Johnstown, Ohio. In the installation at Hu!man, Kaplan constructed a dozen independently rotating triangular panels with photos of Shipley Dairy farm and a United Dairy processing facility in Martin’s Ferry, Ohio. In the installation at Slayter, Kaplan installed a series of reclaimed barn windows from throughout central Ohio.

With an upcoming constitutional amendment vote and the ongoing events of Spirit Week, this week will likely be an important one for Denison Campus Gov-ernance Association.Elections amendment

In September, DCGA passed a constitu-tional amendment that would signi!cantly alter the way elections are held.

#e new amendment, which was ap-proved by a two-thirds majority by the DCGA Senate, would move the date for senatorial elections from November to mid-April, while elections for freshman senators would take place in September. In-augurations for incoming sophomore, ju-nior, and senior senators would take place near the end of the academic year.

#e amendment now requires approval from over two-thirds of the student body in order to be enacted.

DCGA President Rob Moore, a senior from Bexley, Ohio, who put passage of the amendment as one of the top items on DC-GA’s agenda during his state of the campus address, said that it was meant to give stu-dents who study abroad more representa-tion in campus governance. Because senate terms begin and end in the middle of fall semester, students who spend a spring se-mester abroad can only serve on the DCGA Senate for two years. Meanwhile, students who spend a fall semester or a year abroad can only serve for one year.

“[#e current election system] has the dual disadvantage of discouraging people from studying abroad and leaves a signi!-cant portion of students underrepresent-ed,” Moore said.

Moore also said that the proposed change in the election schedule would lead to a more creative and e"ective DCGA.

“A lot of things happen in the Senate during spring semester, and when you get to the summer, everything just dies,” said Moore.

#e rule change would revert the timing of elections back to the pre-2005 schedule. In 2005, DCGA moved elections to No-vember in order to allow prospective !rst-year senators more time to get acclimated to campus before pursuing their candida-cies.Spirit Week

#e DCGA is also getting ready for the events of Spirit Week, which began yester-day (Oct. 3) and will last through Saturday (Oct. 8).

#e events include a “Represent Den-sion (Spirit Wear)” day on Monday (Oct. 3) where students are encouraged to wear Denison apparel, followed by a screening of Remember the Titans at the Reese Shak-leford Commons Tuesday evening (Oct. 4). Wednesday (Oct. 5) will feature a talent show and club night at the #e Roost, and an a capella and jam band concert will take place midday #ursday (Oct. 6). On Friday (Oct. 7), DCGA will host an in$atable fun

Huang said that, since organizations tend to use only 80-85% of the budget they are given by the end of the !scal year (with the remaining money going back into the reserve fund), she hoped that many student organizations would take advantage of the fund so that the DCGA budget itself could be directed to other purposes.

“In the future, some organizations might not have to come back for more capital pur-chases so that more of the budget can go to-ward programming and events as opposed to [replacement for equipment and other necessities],” she said.

festival similar to last year’s Aestivalia. Saturday (Oct. 8), student organizations

will set up tables in front of Slayter to raise awareness of their organizations and get more students involved. At noon, DCGA will then direct students from Slayter to Deeds Field, where the football team will have a home game against the University of Chicago at 1 p.m.

Spirit week will conclude with the annu-al University Gala on Saturday night (Oct. 8) at 8 p.m.

DCGA o%cials said that they hope Spir-it Week will help to build student unity and pride in Denison.

“#at’s the ongoing battle, to get Deni-son students motivated and to cultivate a sense of school spirit,” said DCGA Projects Committee Chair Maggie Doyle, a junior from Holland, Mich, who was responsible for planning the events.

DCGA Projects Committee mem-ber Aminata Kaba, a junior from Boston, Mass., said the Projects Committee wanted to improve from past Spirit Weeks.

“Inclusion and a good turnout is our aim for this year,” Kaba said.

DCGA plans Spirit Week, constitutional amendment

-DCGA PR Chair Lauren Tyger

“

”Tyger said that, because the fund has

been gradually building since 1999, “it be-longs to the students of the past and pres-ent. #is is a great way to pay it forward to future Denisonians in their respective or-ganizations, and for students to make their mark.”

#e process of getting the funds to ben-e!t the student body has been in the works since last year’s !nance committee. In this year’s spring budget hearing, the decision was made to over-allocate in order to try to break even and maintain the amount in-tended for the reserve fund.

Applications are available on the Black-board accounts of Denison students. To access them, students must be enrolled in DCGA as a course on Blackboard.

#e deadline for submitting applica-tions is Oct. 21, a&er which the Finance Committee will begin reviewing and ap-proving the proposed purchases.

The DenisonianDenison University‘s Oldest Student Organization-Established 1857

Curtis is a zoo for

12:30 lunch on MWF Curtis at 12:30pm is insane. !ere’s a line to get in the door, there’s a line to get up the stairs, there’s a line to get your food, and then there is not even room to sit down. It’s ridiculous! Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday it becomes a total zoo. Tuesdays and !urs-days are bad but nowhere near as insane as the other three days. You have to "ght your way through hoards of people just to get silverware. And the people in line for the main dish give you dirty looks, as if they think you’re trying to cut in front of them. It’s not worth the hassle of waiting in the half-hour long line for a sandwich, so you’re stuck with cereal, a bagel and a banana. Now, there isn’t an easy solution to this problem. No one can control when and where everyone eats lunch. It makes since that Curtis is a popular choice for lunch

since it’s closer than Hu#man and you can’t do meal exchange at Slayter for lunch. But for all of Denison to eat at exactly 12:30 is kind of weird. !is has never been such a problem in the past; it’s hard to say what makes this year di#erent. So the time and place problem can not be "xed, but the lack of seating can easily be "xed. In the Curtis Veggie Room, they only have one half of it open. Move that foldable door thing and open up all of the Veggie room so that way students can spread out and sit with their friends. It wouldn’t re-quire that much extra cleaning or sta$ng and would allow everyone the opportunity to eat lunch in Curtis. So, if at all possible try to eat somewhere other than Curtis at 12:30 (for your own well-being) and please recommend to the Curtis sta# that they open up the entire veggie room for lunch time seating.

Milkshakes in Slayter

are delicious and fun Hopefully by now you’ve experienced one of Slayter’s new milkshakes. If not, go im-mediately to Slayter and get one. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. !e milkshakes are a great addition to the Slayter cafeteria. !e Bandersnatch used to have a monopoly on milkshakes at Deni-son but now students can purchase yummy drinks at both campus hangouts. Not only are the Slayter milkshakes deli-cious, the process of getting the milkshake is pretty darn cool. Here’s what you do: "rst, you select your milkshake from the adjacent fridge. !ere’s a wide variety of %avors such as Vanilla, Strawberry, Choco-late, Mocha, Cappuccino, Oreo, and Rees-es. You stick your milkshake choice in the big silver canister on the machine, choose how thick you want your milkshake and sit back. While you wait, you can watch the machine whisk your cup up and can even hear it mixing. !e touch screen TV on the

machine shows a cool video of a dancing cow and encourages you to buy another milkshake. A&er about 30 seconds, the machine slowly lowers the cup and Voila! your milkshake is done. Naturally, you can chose to eat it with a spoon or drink it through a straw. Our only two complaints are that some-times the milkshakes come out watery or frozen at the bottom. Even when you select it to be very thick or thin. Second, the cost. At $3.69, it can be a lot to pay for 8oz of liquid or frozen-solid ice cream. Nevertheless, it is always exciting to see changes on campus, no matter how small they may seem. Change on campus typi-cally means that someone higher up on the campus food chain has responded to some-thing a student has recommended. So, thanks to whom ever spoke up and thanks to Slayter for giving us delicious milkshakes! Keep it up.

Fellow Denisonians,

!e past few weeks have brought a %ood of activity for many of us. Classes are in full swing, major assignments and exams are creeping up, and the miscel-laneous time commitments that come with extra-curriculars are beginning to surface. Despite my repeated attempts to devote my full attention to the roughly 60 commitments on my weekly schedule, I’ve managed to "nd myself distracted by a plethora of unintelligible rhetoric con-cerning some of the content that has been published in !e Denisonian over the past several weeks. Let me be clear: !e Denisonian ex-ists "rst and foremost as a student voice. Regardless of what you’ve heard (which is undoubtedly less coherent than what you’ve read), !e Denisonian does not exist to favor any student’s voice over that of another. Should you lack the ability to type, speak, write or sign e#ec-tively enough to communicate your own thoughts, I doubt you have matriculated to the point of enrollment at Denison. You have your own voice. Why not use it? Even if you do not have time to con-tribute an article, there is always the Fo-rum section, in which you are free to ca-sually debate opinions. !e Denisonian cannot publish your opinions if you do

not send them to our editors. !erefore, you cannot complain about dull content when you contribute nothing. !e Denisonian is a visible organiza-tion on campus. We are not hiding from anybody. Our o$ce location may have changed, but the new o$ce is hard to miss (read: Knapp 105). We have a grow-ing editorial sta# as well as regular contri-butions from this year’s "rst-year class. In addition to 1,500 printed copies per issue, we have e-mail, a Facebook page, Twitter, and even an up-and-coming website (stay tuned for more info on the new site). !e fact that students complain that content is lacking when many have never bothered to submit anything truly mysti-"es me. !e content is not going to “im-prove” to your standards without further input. Even if you lack the writing skills to submit a letter to the editor, the least you could do is send an e-mail when the sta# is trying to "gure out whether or not to keep the now infamous crime reports. !e key is your participation. Our editors and writers are certainly dedicated, but more content should come from more voices. I’m proud to spend my time and e#ort as an editor for !e Denisonian. I think that this particular issue represents many voices. !at said, I am not going to settle for apathy from the student body. If you care enough to form an opinion, then put your money where your mouth is and send us something we can publish. Otherwise, focus your e#orts elsewhere.

Send us something we can publish

Dear Editor,

I read with interest and sadness your recent tributes concerning the attacks of 9/11. I believe it is important that we re-member, in particular, Richard Madden ‘88, the lone Denisonian we lost on that day. Rich worked for the AON Corpora-tion on the 100th !oor of WTC building #2, which was hit by the second airplane. He was able to call his wife, Maura, to whom he talked until the building col-lapsed. He asked her to tell his friends and family that he loved them and to make his funeral a party rather than a sad event. Rich was born in Elgin, Ill. and grew up in Short Hills, N.J. where he attended Mill-burn High School. He pledged the Gam-ma-Xi Chapter of Kappa Sigma in the fall of 1984 and became a valuable contribu-tor to several of Gamma Xi’s intramural teams. From speedball to basketball, Rich helped lead the Kappa Sigma chapter to overall campus intramural champion-ships in both his junior and senior years. A"er graduating from Denison, Rich at-

tended New York University Law School. While pursuing his law degree, Rich men-tored students having di#culty in school in the Hoboken, N.J. area. It was there that he met his future wife, Maura. $ey mar-ried in 1996 and welcomed their daughter Patricia into the world in 2000. Jon Silverstein ’89, who initiated the de-velopment of a college fund for Patricia, summed up Rich’s legacy by relating trib-utes from his funeral. “Everyone spoke of his big heart and how he had many friends and no enemies. He was univer-sally liked from grade school to the pres-ent.” $e other qualities that were men-tioned in almost every story were how he lived a simple life, how he loved the Mets and the Giants, but most of all how he loved his family. A tree and plaque have been placed in his honor on the grounds of Denison’s Kappa Sigma house.

$ey say that we live on the fourth !oor of Shorney, however, my lungs and sore legs beg to di%er. $ere’s the basement to consider, so for these purposes, we’re go-ing to refer to my !oor as the &"h !oor of Shorney, as calling it the fourth !oor is highly inaccurate. Shorney life is never dull, boring, or quiet, but in college, who really expects any of these things? Our !oor is co-ed, although there are a lot more girls than there are boys. Everyday life in Shorney is as normal as it gets here at Denison, contrary to the “party dorm” reputation that it has incurred over the years. On every day of the week but one, Shorney could pass for any other &rst year dorm, with rowdy freshman who are eager to have fun, not work or sleep, but eat and enjoy the &rst semester away from home. However, on any given Wednesday night in Shorney Hall, suddenly the reputation lives.

night. Inhibitions vanish, and carefree at-titudes replace the stressful faces I pass on any other day of the week. Laughter &lls the hall, accompanied by other sounds that may not be appropriate for some of our readers. $e drama of the moment is for-gotten, friendships re-new and old !ames re-kindle (despite the fact that we’ve only been here a little over a month, make-ups and break-ups have already incurred). Life is a seemingly never-ending time of plea-sure and happiness. However, the next morning must come eventually. Ladies and gentlemen publicly attempt to “sneak” back into their own rooms without anyone noticing (although someone always does), while others use-lessly attempt to piece back the events of the night before. Clues include dirty bath-rooms decorated with vomit and trash, both souvenirs for the unlucky cleaning sta% assigned to clean up the bathrooms on our !oor. As a &rst year, life way at the top of Shorney Hall has proven to be one inter-esting welcome into the Denison commu-nity. I can only hope that more hilarious events will continue to happen, so I can have some great stories to tell friends from other dorms.

Letter to the Editor

Blaming DemocracyBy Usman GulSpecial to the Denisonian

You do not need to be an expert in US national politics to develop a basic under-standing of how and why Washington has failed miserably to initiate the process of e%ectual economic reform. Both the Dem-ocrats and the Republicans are, as usual, &ercely competing to ingratiate themselves with voters while the debt crisis has slipped to the side until the next time America fac-es a default. In 2010, federal spending was nearly 24 percent of GDP while tax revenues stood at 15 percent. $e budget de&cit for 2010 was just under nine percent (of GDP). In a conservative estimate, the Congressional Budget O#ce has projected that the Ameri-can debt will reach 90 percent of GDP in

2020 if the current state of a%airs persists. According to the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, which was appointed by Obama himself, the ris-ing debt means that by 2025, government revenue will be able to &nance only interest payments, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Put di%erently, every other federal government expenditure from national defense to energy production will have to be &nanced through borrowed money. At that point, there will be no turning back be-cause the US will be struggling just to stay a!oat by paying interest on the debt; pay-ing back the principle amount will simply become impossible. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Sta% Ad-miral Mike Mullen accurately noted that the most signi&cant threat to our national security is our debt. $e poisonous aspect of increases in debt is the corresponding

increases in interest payments, which even-tually render the borrower incapable of even paying the interest on the piling prin-ciple amount. In other words, each passing day of inaction is making the task of &scal reform all the more di#cult and riskier. $e National Commission’s report that came out in December 2010 was applauded by both the president and the Congress but its implementation was conveniently ignored. $e report made it clear that any meaningful &scal reform would have to in-clude discretionary spending cuts such as limiting annual spending on war, reduc-ing White House and Congressional bud-gets by 15 percent, preventing the abuse of emergency spending which the Congress frequently uses as a loophole to get around &scal restraints and many more. $e report suggested that, like most Americans, mem-bers of Congress should lead with example by freezing their automatic annual salary increases (which, by the way, are not tied to performance). $us, having read the report, it is clear

that Obama will have to piss o% dozens of millions of voters who will be directly af-fected by the spending cuts. $e president will also be putting o% the largest corpora-tions that are vehemently opposed to the tax reforms outlined in the report. In sum-mary, the Democrats will be losing dozens of millions of votes along with signi&cant campaign funding from Corporate Amer-ica if they even try to implement the sug-gested reforms. Why not leave this mess for the next president and have him/her (probably him) take the blame? $e problem is that the next president will be faced with the exact same circum-stances – the US is faced with one of those rare occasions when a politically unpopu-lar decision becomes an imperative. Fis-cal reforms and discretionary spending cuts will not just be politically unpopular; they will likely become the determinants of the outcome of the next elections. “Our parents are grateful because they’re voting. We’re the &rst generation to say that voting is worthless.” - Marta Solanas.

“Ik hou van jou” or “I love you”? That is the questionBy Christiaan WijersSpecial to the Denisonian

“I love you!” $at’s a phrase I hear here all the time. O"en I’m not the subject of this phrase though, for I have made myself quite unlovable a"er my last two columns. Nevertheless, I hear this phrase a lot around me, whether people mean romantic love to their signi&cant other, friendly love to their BFF or family love to their parents. It’s the same phrase, but it has so many di%erent meanings in my opinion. When you say “Ik hou van jou” (I love you) in the Nether-lands, for instance, it is a big, very big thing! I remember it saying to my girlfriend for the very &rst time – it was not just a phrase, it actually was saying that I love her. Also, family love is hardly ever expressed. Most Dutch people only say it when they really miss their parents, when they study abroad

for instance, or when they need money – again, when they study abroad for instance. $e great thing of making such a big thing out of those three words (or four, in Dutch) is the fact that it retains its value. It’s a great feeling when somebody actually tells you that he or she loves you. On the other hand, you tend to forget to mention it sometimes, although they deserve to hear it. Here, in the US of A, it is the exact oppo-site. People say it all the time. I don’t know whether people want conformation for the notion that they are loved, or that people just really love each other that much (when I look at all the hooking up going on here at Denison, I tend to agree with the latter of the two explanations). It is great that people love each other so much here, and that they have the urge to express that to one another, but let’s be honest – doesn’t it lose it’s meaning when it is said again and

again and again? What does it mean when you say it to your dearly beloved when you say it to your friends all the time? Don’t think that Dutch people aren’t in-timate at all, though. We might be a little thri"y with saying “I love you,” but we are extremely generous with our kisses! In some (European) countries, people give each other one or two kisses when they meet each other – it’s a form of greeting – but we, the Dutch, we give even three kisses, perverted as we are! And we do it all the time. Kisses when it’s someone’s birthday, kisses when someone gradu-ated, or just three kisses when we meet a close friend or relative. Don’t get me wrong though, we don’t kiss when we meet some-body for the &rst time – it’s not a way of introducing oneself – but soon a"er that, the kissing starts. You should see it as the Dutch version of hugging. Europeans just

prefer kissing to hugging, whereas people in the states prefer it the other way around. To illustrate my point: French kissing is a European invention, whereas grinding was invented here in the States – a very intimate form of hugging. Speaking about grinding, I &nd it a very interesting phenomenon. Some people take it very far. It is like some guys have to rinse o% a stain of a girl’s pants with their crotch. I mean come on guys, seriously? She’s somebody’s daughter for God’s sake. I guess here in the states it really is a “crazy little thing called love.” But let’s not take it too far okay? Say something nice, or at least introduce yourself before you grab a girl by her waist, and you could buy her Whit’s sometime. I know that dating is not done in college, but you could at least be nice. Most important of all though – wrap it before you attack it. Tot ziens!

Eighty percent of women are dissatis!ed with their bodies according to the National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA). As a result NEDA says 45 percent of women, as well as 25 percent of men are on diets on any given day, and dieting is particularly prevalent on college campuses.

For many, dieting does not prove enough to gain satisfaction with their bodies. Ac-cording to NEDA 10 million Americans are su"ering with eating disorders.

In the fall of 2009, Denison founded the Eating Disorder Intervention Team, or EDIT, to help combat this problem.

According to Crystal LaPidus-Mann, a sta" counselor at Denison and chair of EDIT, “the purpose of the Eating Disorder Intervention Team is to provide a compre-hensive approach to the coordination of support services for Denison University students who exhibit disordered eating and related behaviors.”

LaPidus-Mann explained that the mis-sion of EDIT has three parts; providing consultation and recommendations to anyone concerned that a classmate has an eating disorder, educating sta" and faculty to work with students with eating disorders and providing “eating disordered students with a community in which dignity, self-determination, and service are present.”

Marci McCaulay, the Interim Director of the Center for Women and Gender Action (previously the Women’s Resource Center), explained that EDIT meets twice a month.

McCaulay explained that she became involved in EDIT last year when she be-came the interim director of the center. EDIT’s mission seemed to be a natural !t for the mission of the Center for Women and Gender Action. She explained that the center’s role is largely focused on outreach and education, ”and a part of the work that we do is to help create a better understand-ing of the purpose of EDIT and to support programming that addresses issues related to eating disorders and body image.”

By the numbersAs many as 10 million females and 1 million males are battling aneating disorder such as bulimia or anorexia. Millions more are battling binge eating disorder (Crowther, J.H., Wolf, E.M., &Sherwood, N., 1992).

80% of women are dissatis!ed with their appearance (Smolak, L., 1996).

Four out of ten Americans either su"ered or have known someone who has su"ered an eating disorder (NEDA, 2005).

Most fashion models are thinner than 98% of American women (Smolak, L., 1996).

91% of women recently survey on a college campus had attempted tocontrol weight through dieting, 22% dieted “o#en” or “always” (Kurth, 1995).

25% of American men and 45% of American women are on a diet on any given day (Smolak, L., 1996).

54% of women would rather be hit by a truck than be fat (Martin, 2007).

Most fashion modelsare thinner than 98% of most women (NEDA).

If mannequins were women, they would not be able to bear children.

80% of women are dissatis!ed with their appearance (Smolak, L., 1996).

McCaulay said that she feels that body image is an important issue which e"ects everyone, but more so with women.

Body image issues are alive and well at Denison. Aria Began, a sophomore from New York City working for the Center for Women and Gender Action, noted that “everyone’s so in shape at Denison, image is a big part of life at Denison.”

Assistant professor of communication Laura D. Russell, a member of EDIT, said “I see this committee as highly devoted to helping the Denison community explicitly recognize the need for supporting the well-being of others. $at is to say, support is available to anyone who would like to talk with someone about the struggles with which they are facing.”

Russell added that “Personally, I am grateful to have the opportunity to help others in ways that I wish were available to me when going through particular chal-lenges in my life.”

Love Your Body Day, an annual event

ADVERTISEMENT

sponsored by the National Organization for Women (NOW), is intended to help promote healthy body image.

Love Your Body Day is on Oct. 19, and Denison, through EDIT, will be sponsoring events on Oct. 19-21.

Kai Kyles, a !rst-year student from Shaker Heights, Ohio working in the Center for Women and Gender Action, explained the importance of Love Your Body Day as “just promoting a greater sense of love for ourselves and our bodies, inside and outside.”

According to Kyles, “its about how you’re feeling inside, that’s whats is going to last and matter.”

Eating disorders are areal issue, a"ecting real people. With millions of Americans su"ering with eating disorders according to NEDA, it is an issue that we really need to face and combat. Began said that “it’s really important to address eating disorders and body image issues, just because it’s such a prevalent issue on college campuses.”

As a Denison student, you may have al-ready known that 40% of the student body belongs to a fraternity or sorority. Of the 19 organizations, Denison is home to "ve historically African-American fraterni-ties and sororities. Here’s what you should know:

History National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc. (NPHC) is the umbrella organization of historically African-American organiza-tions. Founded in 1930 at Howard Univer-sity, in Washington, D.C., NPHC consists of 9 fraternities and sororities: Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc., Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc., Delta Sigma !eta Sorority Inc., Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc., Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc., Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc. and Iota Phi !eta Fraternity Inc. Five of the nine organizations have formed chapters at Denison. !ey include: Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Alpha Kappa Alpha Soror-ity, Inc., Delta Sigma !eta Sorority, Inc., Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., and the colony Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. !e governing body, NPHC, was estab-lished here on campus in 1997 a#er the ad-dition of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. However, the oldest NPHC organization to exist on campus is Alpha Phi Alpha and it has been here since 1985. !e purpose of the organizations, as stated on their website, is “Unanimity of thought and action as far as possible in the conduct of Greek letter collegiate fra-ternities and sororities, and to consider problems of mutual interest to its member organizations.”

Service NPHC is dedicated to service, not only on a chapter level, but as a council in its entirety as well. For example, on Sept. 11,

2011 the council helped clean up gardens in Newark. !ey also made blankets for the YWCA Battered Women’s shelter in Newark. NPHC council creates service programs with particular attention to contributing to local communities. Aimee Maczko, As-sociate director of campus leadership & involvement said, “NPHC understands the impact they can make in their own area.” !e council also places a lot of importance on supporting each other’s service projects. President of NPHC, senior E$ Taylor of Silver Spring, Md., explained that ser-vice projects are open for participation and are a great way to get to know members of NPHC organizations.

Intake Process Intake is the way in which a non-mem-ber becomes a member. Robert Barry, Vice President and junior from Chicago, Ill., ex-plained what it means to be a member. “It is a lifelong commitment, you are [a$liated] until the day you die,” said Barry. Both Taylor and Barry emphasized that knowing which organization to join is very important. “Ignorance is not an excuse, education is key,” Taylor said. While each organization is di%erent, getting to know what they stand for and their history is re-quired for all. Also, each semester NPHC organizes an ice breaker where potential members, peers and representatives of organizations can come together and get to know one another. One of the many highlights of the evening includes strolling, a synchronized dance that has singing, chanting or acting, with roots in African dance.

Advantages & Alumni Some of the primary advantages of be-ing greek in NPHC include scholarships, networking, and even international rela-tionships. During BigRed weekend, a large percentage of the Black Alumni Associa-tion, many of whom are NPHC members, came back to talk to current members of NPHC. As Barry stated, “It’s still home [to them], they’re always willing to come back.”

To have an understanding of Greek, one must understand the Do’s and Don’ts and the or-ganization has quite a few.

Do’s :- Do Your research to "nd the organization that best "ts you and your interest/goals.

- Do Find a member of the or-ganization that you are interest-ed in, express the interest a#er doing research.

- Do Discretely approach a member of the organization that you are speci"cally inter-ested in.

- Do Understand that when trying to join, it is not an an-nouncement, and discretion is the key.

Don’ts- Don’t throw up signs seen as inappropriate (members-it’s a privilege to put up signs).

- Don’t wear someone else’s let-ters.

- Don’t hop in or interrupt a stroll line at parties.

PostSecret creator Frank Warren inspires students

The Doobie ranked 18th best college radio station

As Denison students, we are all famil-iar with the school’s top ranking stats in academics, but as it turns out, more than just the academic grind has put Denison on the map. !e school’s radio station, 91.1 WDUB, known as “!e Doobie,” has just been named the 18th Best College Radio Station by the 2012 Princeton Review’s “20 ‘Most Popular’ College Radio Stations.” Sta-tion Manager and junior Wes Judd of Bar-rington Hills, Ill., attributed the station’s success to its dedicated following. “I think !e Doobie is doing so well because of the number of listeners we get. I wish I could tell you some secret we have, but really what determines a radio station’s success is how many people you get to listen.” Senior DJ Lucas Meyer of Concord, NH, also looked to the station’s following as rea-son for its success. “Having a small school helps. As lame as it sounds, artistic freedom and the demographic of Denison – music can be geographic and we have students from all over,” he said. !e Doobie certainly has come a long way since getting its start as a “‘carrier current’ radio station on November 12, 1953 at 7 a.m. with the Star Spangled Ban-ner” according to the station’s website, www.911wdub.com. Now boasting 64 DJs and a total of 48 shows throughout the

week, there are endless options for listen-ers. While you will "nd an assortment of shows on the Doobie including talk shows, music is a major draw for many, including those working at the station. When asked about his own reason for being involved in the Doobie, Judd said, “Music, plain and simple. I get to look for new music, talk about it, write about it on our website, play it on air, and show other people the music I love. I think that’s why every DJ joins WDUB, we all love music.” Adding to a love of music, Meyer discussed his own reasons for working at the station and said “It’s just fun, and a relaxing way to decompress.” While it may be no surprise to Deni-son students and Granville locals that the Doobie was ranked so high, you may be shocked to "nd just how far-reaching the station is. Judd said, “We get listeners from all over the world via our online stream. A Russian company actually wrote us last se-mester and said they have !e Doobie play-ing in their o#ce all day.” But no matter how global the Doobie may be, Denison students remain the sta-tion’s focus and target audience. As far as his own goals as station manager go, Judd said, “!ere’s no telling how many students tune in every night, and for all I know it may be a great deal, but I’d really like to see !e Doobie have a bigger presence within the student body.”

Frank Warren, founder of the popular blog PostSecret, is known as “!e most trusted stranger in America.” Warren came to Denison this past Wednesday, Sept. 28, to speak to students about starting the blog and how important it is for some secrets––like thoughts of suicide––to be shared. !e PostSecret blog accepts postcards sent anonymously from all over the world, confessing secrets ranging from humorous to inspirational to heartbreaking. PostSecret is “an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard.” It is the largest advertisement-free blog in the world. Over 473 million people have viewed the site. Warren accepts any secret as long as it is completely truthful and never has been told to anyone. !e secrets are o$en admissions of sexual misconduct and criminal activity or confessions of secret desires, embarrass-ing habits, hopes and dreams. In addition to the website, Warren has published "ve books, compiling images of the postcards. !e PostSecret books have been very successful as well and are also popular among Denison students. “I have one of his books because I love PostSecret and I think it’s a really neat con-cept,” said Moriah Ellenbough, a sopho-more from Olney, Md. Warren’s %ight was delayed so the event time had to be pushed back an hour. “Ev-erything came together a$er all,” said Dolly Cho, a senior from South Korea and UPC’s Director of Lecture Series. Tali Lekorenos, a junior from Concord, Mass., is the director of graphic design for University Programming Council (UPC). She was responsible for making all of the

promotional posters and postcards for the event. She also is a huge fan of the PostSe-cret blog and loves to read the secrets on-line. “Despite the fact that I have a ton of work to do tonight, I’m still going to see Frank speak. It’s a once in a lifetime event,” she said. Many Denison students actively follow the PostSecret blog and were eager to learn more about it and meet its creator. “I’ve been following PostSecret for years. I’m curious about what he’s going to talk about tonight,” said Ryann !omas, a soph-omore from Anaheim, Calif.

By Debbie GillumForum Editor

Warren started out the night by sharing a couple of his favorite secrets that had been shared with him. He said he viewed the se-crets as precious gi$s that people were kind enough to share with him. Warren said that the most common secret he receives is, “I pee in the shower.” Warren also shared a slideshow of con-troversial postcards with secrets that could not be included in any of the PostSecret books for various reasons. He ended the evening by inviting students to come up to a microphone by the stage and share their secrets with everyone. Only four female students shared.

!roughout his talk, Warren emphasized the importance of suicide prevention and encouraged students to reach out to friends whom they are worried about. He also heavily promoted the PostSecret iPhone App that is available for $1.99 through iTunes. UPC had been trying to get Frank War-ren to come to campus for three years. !ey were very pleased that so many students came and enjoyed his talk. Warren le$ the audience with the follow-ing words of wisdom: “Free your secrets and be who you are.”

The minimalist style and startling violence of DriveReview:

By Tristan EdenArts & Life Editor

Drive, Nicolas Winding Refn’s new heist/chase thriller is a glittering spectacle of good taste and minimalism. !e blurred Clippers game on the motel TV that opens the "lm is the perfect introduction to Re-fn’s vision of 80s-tinged realistic yet styl-ized Los Angeles grit. !is art-plus-action aesthetic makes Drive not only exciting to watch but also simply cool to look at it. !e pace of the "rst half of the "lm seems slowed down. Every movement is deliber-ate, almost no one speaks; a mood is cre-ated. Ryan Gosling as the nameless hero–the Driver–chews toothpicks and moves his driving glove-clad "ngers on the steer-ing wheel, producing a satisfying and loud crunch of leather. He is almost unable and de"nitely unwilling to talk to anyone and when he does there is a painful pause in which he grins, nods, removes his tooth-pick. He is all eye movement and tension, exuding quiet cool and obviously evoking Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, Clint East-wood–actors who say as much as anyone but do it without speaking. During the mood-setting minimalism of the "rst half, though, a somewhat complex and detail-rich plot is slowly introduced. Gosling is a mechanic and stuntman by day–working for the luckless Shannon (Bryan Cranston)–and a getaway driver for

hire by night. He is, you gather, an incred-ible driver. Shannon asks crime boss Bernie Rose (Albert Brooks) to invest in a stockcar with him, a stockcar his ace driver Gos-ling will drive and win races with. Gosling, meanwhile, has started spending time with his neighbor Irene (Carey Mulligan) and her son, Benicio. Irene’s husband (whose name, strangely, is Standard), though, is almost out of jail and evidently in seri-ous "nancial trouble. When Gosling "nds Standard bleeding out in his apartment building’s parking garage, he agrees to help him, if only to protect Irene and Benicio. But everything falls apart as the Los Ange-les crime world soon reveals itself to be far too small and unbelievably interconnected. !e second half of Drive retains the "rst’s minimalism, but ups the action and vio-lence to hitherto-unseen levels. Refn makes Quentin Tarentino look out of touch (or too with it?) by comparison. Skulls explode, people spray and gush blood. !is is aes-theticized violence of the highest order: the modes of deaths are absurd and startling to watch, engineered solely to shock and dis-may. !e death and violence is in keeping with the "lm’s artful grittiness–it’s grossly realistic; Gosling sweats and breaths hard a#er stomping someone to death in an el-evator–but something about it is incongru-ent. Gosling becomes (or, we must think was always) a grotesquely skilled killer, a discovery that is almost disappointing and

somewhat at odds with his peaceful atti-tude introduced in the beginning (when on the phone with prospective clients, Gosling tells them “I don’t carry a gun. I drive.”) As GQ’s "lm and culture critic Tom Car-son wrote of Drive in the September issue, even if Refn doesn’t have “anything more on his mind than trash-compacting every cool, laconic action classic he’s ever seen

is basically Dinner For Schmucks, I think, I haven’t actually seen that movie,” it seemed pretty clear that I was going to be in for a night of raucous laughter and cringe-in-ducing hijinx—and what the audience and I ended up with wasn’t far from the mark. !e Nerd, which opened Friday, Sept. 30th and continues until Oct. 8th, brings together a handful of very talented actors and actresses to tell the story of Willum Cubbert, played with admirable control

by "rst-year Jacob Betts of Bryan, Ohio, a kind if fairly spineless architect who, in the middle of dealing with a tactless and impos-ing client, "nds himself reunited with Hill’s Rick Steadman, the man who saved his life in Iraq, whom he never met, and the titular “Nerd.” Regardless of his past heroics, Rick’s tenuous grasp on manners and childish personality quickly pervade the situation, and it doesn’t take long for Rick to make a mess of Willum’s life. While Willum’s anxious attempts to keep Rick under control form the central source of comedy, he is far from without help. At his side in this struggle are Willum’s on-again o$-again girlfriend Tansy played by junior Ellen Rosebrough of Wildwood, Mo. and his best friend Axel, portrayed with rapid-"re wit by junior Emily Schuman New York City, each bringing her own %a-vor to the story. Also not to be forgotten are junior of Xi’an, China, HongYi Tian’s Warnock “Ticky” Waldgrave, Willum’s ill-tempered client, his sweet, if battered, wife Clelia played by sophomore Meghan Calla-han of Centennial, Colo., and his boisterous son !or, played by sophomore Jen Salkin of Solon, Ohio. Since speaking about these characters just in terms of their personalities does little to evaluate the strength of their per-formances, I think it’s time we get into the speci"cs. While the main attraction of the show is undoubtedly Hills, whose comedic

timing and mastery of character is appar-ent throughout, the brilliant deadpan that Schuman brings to the part of Axel, not to mention her complete inability to trip over her words, made her a treat to watch and to listen to. Also noteworthy are the perfor-mances of Rosebrough and Callahan, who each, albeit in quite di$erent ways, are able to portray the dogged niceness and occa-sional frailty of their characters in a way that is both sympathetic and tickling to watch unfold. Aesthetically, though, no performer is more transformed than Salkin as !or Waldgrave. While !or spends much of the show screaming and running in and out of closets, Salkin does a good job at playing the brat, seeming to channel, at times, all the entitled scowl of Dudley Dursley. !e Nerd is indeed a funny play, but while it delivers a fair sum of laughs by the end of its run, it avoids being a wholly sublime experience, ironically, due to how funny it is at its best. !ere are stretches of the plot that can leave you in stitches, but the con-sequence of this is that the necessary but undoubtedly less funny scenes in between become forgettable "ller by comparison, at no real fault to the actors themselves, or the director, for that matter. It’s merely a feature of the script. Despite these criticisms, I can say that !e Nerd is fully worthy of your time. It may be “a simple, funny play,” but then again, is there really anything wrong with that?

And indeed if Refn’s idea behind Drive was simply to create the coolest-looking movie possible, he succeeded. If he had higher aspirations (which he surely must have), he succeeded too. But that success still rests on Drive’s style over its substance.

Big Red bikes: DU Bike Share rules the road

By Christian PayneEditor Emeritus

!ink back to when you hopped onto your "rst set of wheels. Maybe it was Bar-bie, or for the fellas it was Batman boldly displayed across your handlebars. Regard-less, the shiny training wheels on your brand new bike were your ticket to free-dom. Well, Denisonians, if you are about to graduate or even if you just want to tear o# those training wheels, then put on your pedal pushers and check out Denison’s Bike Share. No worries if you haven’t felt the wind in your hair for a while, or bikes seem way too “middle school” for you to come to grips with. Free yourself from the library, leave your backpack behind for a bit, and grab a bike. Believe me, a quick cruise through Granville or a short loop around campus will do you wonders. “!ere must be something else involved.

!ere must be a catch,” you’re thinking. “You de"nitely have to pay. My Denison Dollars account is already depleted from too many dips at Whits.” Even if that’s the case, your ticket to the open road isn’t tak-en away. Yes, DU Bike Share is a completely free service designed to give you a chance to get away from the “Hill” for "$een minutes or even an entire a$ernoon. “I think that the program is great,” said Denise Kerr, a Residential Education Ad-ministrative Assistant. Starting out as a new and “green” alter-native last spring by Campus Sustainability Coordinator Jeremy King, the program has burst onto Denison’s recreational and so-cial scenes. Bikes have been rented almost 200 separate times during the Bike Share’s three full months of existence. So, Big Red bikers, here’s the deal. Just get whatever gear you want to take along, shoot on over to the Curtis Service Center between 8:30 a.m. and 9 p.m. (12 p.m.-9 p.m. weekends), greet the student atten-dant with a smile, and say, “Keys, please.” You have your choice of over "$een used or donated bikes; featuring classic red and white beach cruisers, mountain bikes, or traditional cycles. Unlock the bike with a turn of the key, and your ride is ready and waiting. A few friends and I have already taken advantage of the Bike Share program sev-eral times. It was not only a lot of fun, but

a great way to check out all of the beautiful fall scenery that Granville has to o#er. To say the least, it’s a great way to "nd some “me” time and is de"nitely an adventurous option to add di#erent element to your dat-ing game. Take along your iPod for some must-have tunes, throw on a jacket, and even bring your camera to snap some action shots for Facebook. !e options are endless. Above all else, Bike Share is good, old-

At that point, a rear-view mirror is an af-terthought. So, jump out of your seat in Slayter and feel the biking beat. No beer, no wine, but plenty of spirits. Denisonians, the road ahead is yours. Take it.

A recent ESPN study shows that the mar-ket value of a top tier men’s college foot-ball or basketball player is over six !gures. Yes, you read that right, SIX !gures. "e average Football Bowl Subdivi-sion (FBS) player is worth $121,000 per year and the average basketball player is worth $265,000. "at’s the average player. Now imagine how much money Au-burn’s Cam Newton and North Caro-lina’s Tyler Hansbrough made for their schools-- o# of merchandise alone. Even players like Nebraska’s Eric Couch or Syracuse’s Gerry McNamara generated hundreds of thousands of dollars for their schools but never made it to the next level. In the past year, despite a miserable economy, the South Eastern Confer-ence (SEC) became the !rst confer-ence to surpass the billion-dollar barrier. "e Big 10 conference accumulated $905 million and they just added ath-letic powerhouse Nebraska to the con-ference. "is money comes from ticket sales, merchandise, concession sales, licensing fees and television contracts. "ese players are not just making money for their schools though; they’re making money for television stations and shoe companies. For the money that these kids bring in they should reap some of the ben-e!ts. And let’s stop acting like these athletes

are “normal students,” because they are not. "ese big time athletes are spending up-wards of 45 hours a week playing, watching !lm, li$ing or receiving physical treatment. When I was in !$h grade, I had !ve rush-ing touchdowns in a game and was ready to sign my letter of intent to Oregon and win a Rose Bowl with Joey Harrington. When I was in eight grade, I took the Nike Sparq test and then reality set in; so I started reading books. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying we should throw hun-dreds of thousands of dollars at these kids. But, they should be rewarded with traveling money, money for food, and money to cov-er expenses for a college kid’s life activities. Many people say that paying college athletes would ruin the integrity of col-lege sports. First of all, not paying these athletes is diminishing the integrity of the NCAA. Not rewarding the people who put their well being on the line for the business of college sports is dishonest. College sports a$er all, is a business. Schools

and conferences accumulate millions of dollars o# of their players and they do not see a dime. Players are not even allowed to sell their own game worn memorabilia. Moreover, if players were given money, it would clean up the recruiting mess that taints college sports. It seems like every other week a program is being put on pro-bation or creating self imposed sanctions. Most of these recruiting violations are not even over big amounts of mon-ey. Miami (Fl.) had three players sus-pended for the opening game of their 2011 season because those players re-ceived bene!ts of fewer than !$y dollars. If a hard cap were put in place, giving these athletes a sum of the money would clean up the sport. If anything, it would increase parity and distribute more tal-ent across the board. Mid-major pro-grams could then o#er more money to high pro!le recruits if they choose so. In short, college athletics accumulate mass amounts of moneys for schools, conferences, manufacturing compa-nies, television stations, etc. To not re-ward the athletes that are responsible for generating this income is simply unjust. Athletes put their health on the line to for institutions and create happiness for millions of people. Yes they experi-ence unique events that others don’t, but they also put in more work and more time than most people devote to any-thing. For this they should be rewarded.

Big Red Golf: smashing records

Big Red golf is o# to a record-breaking season. In just a few short weeks, the men’s and women’s teams have rewritten the record books a$er only two invita-tionals. "e men !nished second over-all in the Denison Fall Invitational held at Granville Golf Club course. "ey set the 18-hole school record in the second round with 287 strokes, beating the pre-vious 288 stroke record set back in 2003. Sophomore Aaron Klimchuk, who tied for second with a two day total of 141, led the Big Red with a career-best 69 on the second day of play. "e following week-end at the Guy W. Kuhn Invitational at the Meadville Country Club, the men !n-ished fourth overall. Sophomore Dylan Lee led the team and !nished !rst overall with a career best 69 in the !nal round. A$er only two weeks of play, the men are headed in the right direction. “We have a talented team this year, and a very young team too,” explained Lee. “We’re hoping to take a run at Wittenberg in the spring,” who, Lee noted, is currently sitting at #14 in the country, “but most importantly, to keep working hard on our games and play smart golf.” "e Big Red men practice every day a$er class in preparation for the con-ference tournament in the spring. "e men are not the only ones ex-periencing early success. "e women’s team is also exhibiting some young dominance in the form of !rst-years Amanda Castle and Stacey Adams. "e women !nished !rst overall at the Ohio Wesleyan Invitational, lead by Castle’s career low 86. Not only was this a career best, but it was the fourth low-est 18-hole score in the history of Big

Red women’s golf and the second lowest by a !rst-year. Like the men, the women also broke the 18-hole school record af-ter posting a 375 at the end of the day. However, one week later, the ladies smashed this by 23 strokes, shooting a 352 at the Denison Fall Invitational. In addition, Castle’s lowest 18-hole re-cord was taken then by Adams, who carded an 82. "e Big Red ladies most recent tour-nament at the Depauw Small College Classic was rained out a$er the !rst day, leaving the ladies in sixth place with 9 holes unplayed.

"e Big Red golf teams are o# to argu-ably the hottest start in school history. If this caliber of play continues, expect more records to be broken. When asked about the remainder of the season, Lee believes both teams will continue with success. “I think we can go really far this year.” "e men take the course next week at the DePauw Small College Classic at Deer Creek Golf Course in Clayton, Ind. "e women will compete next weekend at the at Pat Clouse Invitational at Windy Knoll Golf Course in Spring!eld, Ohio.

With the “Old Red Lantern” on the line, Big Red came home with a win over !e College of Wooster, and the lantern

!e “Old Red Lantern”, the trophy given to the winner of the Denison vs. Wooster football game, has been obsolete in Gran-ville since 1995. !e Big Red have waited more than a decade to raise the trophy and bring it back to the friendly con-"nes. Saturday was that day, and the Big Red were rewarded as victors in their 27-13 win over College of Wooster. While this win marks the "rst time the Lan-tern has visited Granville in 16 years, it also snaps a ten-year drought against Wooster. Junior tailback Sam Fioroni harped on the importance of this win saying, “A ri-valry win like this is huge for us, it’s an-other step in the right direction for DU football, and proves to everyone, includ-ing ourselves, that we can beat some of the better teams in this conference.” With the wind howling and visibility lacking at John P. Stadium, Denison looked to get the ball in the hands of their go-to man, junior running back, Sam Fioroni. Even playing on an injured ankle, Fioroni took the ball 28 times for 125 yards. Junior quarterback Max Paulus also had a good day, throwing for 260 yards, with one pass-ing touchdown and also ran one himself. Paulus and sophomore running back John Wilson have made a weekly tradi-tion of hooking up for long strikes early in the game. Saturday was not any dif-ferent as their 67-yard assault in the "rst quarter was the catalyst that got them on the board. Paulus explained that plays like these are not an accident: “Wilson had a great game yesterday, both catching and running the ball. He’s got the ability to go the distance, and we’ve devel-oped a connection that has been leading to

big plays. Johnny is a good athlete and he gives us another option on the perimeter, which we took advantage of on Saturday.” A#er the play took the Big Red down to the Wooster 14-yard line, Paulus com-pleted an eight-yard pass to senior wide out Braden Layer. Senior kicker Matt Ring then put Denison on the board "rst with a "eld-goal from 25 yards out. On Wooster’s very next possession, howev-er they struck back with a touchdown. A#er a botched point-a#er attempt, the Fighting Scot’s took a 6-3 lead into the second quarter. In the second quarter, Fioroni led a 78-yard drive for an eventual Big Red touchdown. A#er a 13-yard comple-tion to junior wide out Nick Keller, and three hand-o$s to Fioroni, John Wilson punched it in for a score from four yards out putting Denison back on top. “In a big game like this, there a ton of pivotal points,” said Paulus, “but in the "rst half our o$ense had a huge conversion on 4th and 2 which lead to Wilson’s touchdown.” Wooster refused to fade, and cut the Big

Red celebration short with a score of their own bringing the game within three points. !e Big Red and Wooster battled back and forth for much of the second quarter, nei-ther letting the game get away. !e key to the game was the stretch right before hal#ime, where we were able to answer their touch-down with one of our own and take the mo-mentum and the lead going into the break. With just under three minutes le# in the half, freshman return-man Colin Morris took the kick back 25-yards to the Deni-son 48-yard line setting the Big Red o$ense up for a touchdown right before the half. Taking the snap, Paulus threw a strike to Layer for 26-yards, and then to senior re-ceiver Lucas Graham for 11-yards. On the one-yard line, Paulus scrambled into the end-zone for a touchdown right before the half, and took the Big Red into the locker room up 17-14. “!is was really the key to the game for us,” said Fioroni, “where we were able to answer their touchdown with one of our own and take the momen-tum and the lead going into the break.” In the second half, the Big Red defense took over and kept the Scots from put-ting up another point and only allowed one "rst-down in the third quarter. Fioroni gave the defense well deserved credit saying, “!e defense played great again today, pitching another second half shutout. It’s a combination of our coach-ing sta$ making the right adjustments and our defense making all the plays.” Matt Ring tacked on anoth-er three points in the third quar-ter putting Denison up by a score. !e Denison defense kept the o$ense on the "eld, which led to Denison controlling the ball for ten minutes in the third quarter. A#er taking over with just under 12 min-utes to play, Paulus would lead Denison on an impressive ten play 55-yard drive end-

ing in a 15-yard touchdown pass to Fioroni. Senior linebacker Adam Frudden led the Denison defense with nine tackles and junior safety Alex Sycher posted sev-en stops and one half tackles for a loss. Junior defensive lineman Nat Kell also had four stops and one forced fumble. A#er the game Paulus commented on the win saying, “We haven’t beat Wooster in a long time, and a win like Saturday’s helps prove that our hard work is pay-ing o$. It really boosts con"dence going into the last half of the season and solidi-"es our team as a legitimate contender.” Denison remains in a tie for "rst place in the NCAC with the victory and im-proves to 3-2 overall and 2-0 in confer-ence play. Denison will take on the Ma-roons of the University of Chicago next week at Deeds Field-Piper Stadium.

Final Word!e Denison Women’s Field Hockey Team had a nine game winning streak come to an end on Saturday morning against DePauw University. For the "rst time in the 38-year history of the program, the DU "eld hockey team was at a perfect 9-0 record following a 5-0 win at Earlham on Friday. In their 1980 campaign, the Big Red opened the season with a record-setting 8-0 mark. !at year, Denison outscored opponents 34-6 and posted three shutouts throughout the span of the eight game winning streak. To-day, the squad has posted similar impressive numbers. DU has outscored opponents 31-7 and has posted a remarkable six shutouts. !e Big Red was hoping to extend their winning streak on Saturday morning in Greencastle, Ind., against new North Coast Athletic Conference foe, DePauw University. Denison pushed their luck into overtime against the tigers, unfortunately DePauw scored the heart breaking tie breaker. DePauw handed DU their "rst loss of the 2011 season. !e Big Red falls to an overall 9-1 re-cord with six of the wins coming against conference opponents. DU returns to action on the road tomorrow when they travel to !e College of Wooster for a 4:30 p.m. start.
