Recap
Woo! It's been a little while, but i'm back. Things got really hectic around here for a while, but that's just life at DePauw. What else can you expect from one of the top 50 liberal arts colleges in america? Oh well...
Since I've been gone a lot of things have happened on campus. We recently had our ArtsFest and this years theme was Arts & Power.
I must say that this was by far one of our better years for the week! We had world renowned artist and DePauw Alumni, William "Bing" Davis, come to campus and talk to young artists about his experience at DePauw as well as how to expand upon their own art. There was another symposium with Sonja Hinrichsen, an installation artist, a film screening of V for Vendetta, and HUGE inflatable sculptures all around campus!
There was a big Ice Cream cone, a rubber duck in Bowman Park, a giant blue squid in front of Peeler and at one point on top of Julian, a boxing glove at the Women's Center, a sea anenome by the Lily Center, a giant couch on top of Peeler, boobs (yes boobs) in front of Emison!
We also had our Old Gold football game, with DePauw winning of course!
Keeping it moving.
We are getting close to one of the most anticipated weekends at DePauw. This is hands down, easily, the most exciting weekend to hit this campus. The weekend starts off with the Varsity Swim Team, who by the way recently beat Wabash 200 to 100 Wednesday, swimming against Centre College at the Lily center pool at 7:00pm. Immediately following is the Fabolous and Asher Roth concert held by Union Board in the Lily center starting at 9:00pm. For those who may not know, Fabolous is a hip-hop superstar with hit singles, Holla Back Youngin', Throw it in the Bag, Can't Deny It, Into you, Breathe, Make Me Better, and My Time (which was featured in the opening sequence of America's Best Dance Crew)
There will be an official after party following the concert hosted by Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
However, all of these things pale in comparison to the main event of the weekend.
THE MONON BELL GAME!
This si the time of the year when campus erupts with Tiger Pride! This year we will be hosting the game at Blackstock Stadium and our team is looking better than ever! We're playoff bound and are going to destroy those Wallies (It's all friendly competition though) This year will be one of the largest crowds that DePauw has ever had! The tickets sold out in record time this year, both at DePauw and at Wabash!
I am so looking forward to this game! I went my freshman year, the year that we reclaimed the bell! I have never been so proud to be a DePauw student. We won that game with a 49 yard field goal kick by Jordan Havercamp with 4 seconds left on the clock! It was amazing! It made sports center highlights, which is a phenomenal feat for a school best known for it's academics and not necessarily it's sports team. I somehow managed to snag TWO tickets too! This is going to be a great game!
Mascots shaking hands before the game
DePauw emerging victorious with the bell held high!
I'll be back soon with more updates and more things going on at DePauw. Until then, stay classy.
