Former EPA head strongly criticizes Trump administration, calls for resilience

by Hannah Uebele News Editor

Gina McCarthy (G ’81), former administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under Barack Obama’s presidential administration, discussed the future of the environment in a talk attended by a full crowd of over 100 people last night in the Alumnae Lounge.

The talk, titled “The Future of Environmental Protection,” was hosted by the Experimental College as part of the Janover Family’s “Voices from the Edge” speaker series.

McCarthy started by encouraging optimism and strength in those who stand for progress in environmental protection, especially under President Donald Trump’s administration.

“We are here not to dwell, but to rally, because if you think I’m backing off, you ain’t ever met me,” McCarthy said to applause.

During an interview with the Daily the day before the event, McCarthy said that she wants people to remain optimistic about environmental protection and greenhouse gas emissions, even with the new administration taking a strategy opposite to McCarthy’s work at the EPA. “[W]e do have some current threats, but I don’t want people to be discouraged by that,”

McCarthy said. “I think there is a lot of reason to be very hopeful that the United States is really on track, both in terms of what people want and where our energy needs are heading.”

McCarthy believes that a change in policy at the federal level is not going to take away the marketability of renewable energy and energy efficiency.

“Those things are winning in the market and we should be proud of that, celebrate it, but even if the federal government doesn’t want to, they’re not going to turn that around by a piece of paper that they sign,” she said. “We worked hard, we paid attention to the science and the law, we’ve made progress and they are not going to undo it easily.”

Nonetheless, McCarthy stressed that people who may feel anxious about the direction the EPA is taking under the new administration need to be active.

“Active citizenry and participating in your government is the most important thing you can do, and I think it’s your obligation,” she said. “Go to the marches that are coming out, show your support for science, show your support for climate action and we’ll keep moving forward.”

McCarthy explained during her talk that the government has gotten very good at getting rid of visible pollution, which gives

“We’ve gotten to the visible stuff, but we also know from looking at science that there is so much left to do,” she said. “It is not the time to be backing up or standing still.”

Yet McCarthy acknowledged that there are still places in the country that deal with visible pollution.

“We call those environmental justice communities. And until everyone in this country shares in the benefits of the work that we do, we are not done,” she said. “That’s the bottom line.”

Students aim to open food truck on Federal government approves campus as additional dining option new cost estimate for Green Line Extension

by Emily Thompson Contributing Writer

A group of students is working to create a permanent on-campus food truck that will be fully student-operated.

The truck will provide another on-campus dining option, give students tangible business experience and promote a conversation about sustainability on-campus, according to senior Julie Sanduski. If all goes according to plan, she said they hope to open the food truck in the fall.

According to Sanduski, the idea for an on-campus food truck originated over a year ago when she and fellow senior Ryan Johnson were unsatisfied with the on-campus dining options for students without meal plans, particularly upperclassmen. This idea to create another on-campus dining option eventually became Sanduski’s senior project and the beginnings of a larger initiative, she said.

“There was really no [dining] option that is close to campus … if you’re trying

to get to class fast and you just want a grab and go … and this sort of bridged to, ‘What if we did a student-run food truck?’”

Sanduski said.

Overall, Sanduski says there are three major goals of the project. It hopes to operate as a student-run business, act as an affordable campus dining option and integrate itself into the community by potentially selling local products and participating in local events, according to Sanduski.

“We want to provide another student-run business where students can get … hands-on learning about how to run a business, how to develop a menu and how to deal with different scenarios they might face,” Sanduski said. “On that same note, we would be adding another 30 jobs to campus.”

Ideally, the food truck will be accessible to all members of the Tufts community, including students, faculty, staff and administrators, according to Sanduski. Sanduski mensee FOOD TRUCK, page 2

The Green Line Extension (GLX)’s updated cost estimate was recently approved by the federal government. Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) spokesperson Lisa Battiston expressed enthusiasm for the future of the project, which will bring the Green Line into Somerville and Medford, including a stop adjacent to the Tufts campus on College Ave. “The Administration, MassDOT and MBTA appreciate the Federal Transit Administration’s analysis and recognition of the work that was put into the GLX project’s new design, timeline, cost estimates and risk review,” Battiston told the Daily in an email.

Rafael Mares, vice president and director of healthy communities and environmental justice at the Conservation Law Foundation, explained that the federal government’s grant

covers nearly half of the project’s costs. Mares said that the MBTA reexamined and updated the logistics of the project after discovering that some of the previous cost estimates were flawed, which led to the need for another federal approval of the cost estimates. “[The MBTA] had to show two things primarily. One is that the work scope was consistent with what they had previously promised to build in return for the grant,” Mares said.

“Second, they had to show that their cost estimates this time were reasonable so that the expectation can be that the project will go forward.”

According to Mares, once the project begins to actually receive this funding from the federal government, the extension’s construction process can proceed with more certainty. Mares added that after the amended grant agreement goes through, project leaders

Former EPA head urges continued focus on environmental protection in Trump administration

EPA

continued from page 1 under the Obama administration is one of the main targets of the Trump administration as it tries to roll back regulations.

“It is not just an attack on the standards, it is an all-out attack on the agency itself,” she said.

She attributes this attack on the EPA to the new administration’s belief that the economy and the environment are at odds, an idea that she strongly rebuked.

“What I understand from listening to both President Trump and [EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt] is that they believe in that old, outdated and unfounded view that there is an inherent

conflict between economic growth and environmental protection,” she said. “There is just no way that there is a shred of proof that you can’t continue to clean up the world we live in, and make it a nice … and safe place to live and grow good jobs.”

In addition, McCarthy spoke about how she believes the Trump administration is disregarding and attacking science.

“They’re subordinating science in favor of delivering on expedient campaign rhetoric, which I don’t appreciate. They have a lack of transparency, a lack of public process and a disrespect for the courts, and a misread on the needs, wishes and expectations of American families who really know that

clean air, water and land are our core values,” McCarthy said. “They are misreading in thinking that they can get away with this.”

McCarthy told the Daily that it is critical to address these environmental issues in a bipartisan way because they affect everybody.

“Let’s try to talk about the environment in terms that are not triggering partisan conflict, but are really expressing our common value that we place as a country in clean air and clean water,” she said. “Because in the end, that’s what it’s all about – it’s about protecting our kids from pollution and keeping those precious natural resources in the quality and quantity we need to continue to live well. And that’s a value to everyone.”

Campus food truck looks to open in fall 2017, currently working to secure funding FOOD TRUCK

continued from page 1 tioned that food prices will ideally be in the $5-7 range.

According to Chris Wingard, another student working on the project, the project is fairly far along, and significant progress has been made over the past year.

“We have been meeting with several university officials and members of the administration … to seek approval,” Wingard, a sophomore, said. “We are also working closely with [Tufts Student Resources (TSR)], because the project would be a subsidiary of theirs and we will be receiving some funding from them.”

Sanduski explained that the process of getting approval for the project involves talking to a web of people to get all of the approval they need. She added that the groundwork for the project is done, including the business plan, branding and website.

One of the tasks left to be completed is securing funding, Wingard said, which will come from three separate sources of funding.

“It will be a subsidiary of TSR, [so] we are hoping to receive approximately one third of our funding from them,” he said. “Additionally, we will be running a crowdfunding campaign, and 15 percent will come from that. We are also hoping to receive a loan from [Tufts Community Union] Senate, which is not something they usually do, but it is not unheard of.”

EVAN SAYLES / THE TUFTS DAILY

Moe’s Trolley is pictured here on Sept. 19, 2014. A group of students is proposing to create a new student-run food truck on campus.

In terms of specific menu offerings, Wingard said that the truck will begin serving lunch and dinner, with the option of expanding to include a breakfast menu if desired. The menu will feature a rotating selection of seasonal and local items.

“We will have a few different items like sandwiches that will be mainstays on the menu, with a weekly or monthly specialty item,” Wingard said. “In addition to those offerings, we are looking into doing some sort of grain bowl, where you choose your proteins, veggies and other add-ons. We will also offer several sides, perhaps smoothies, and several grab-and-

go options featuring local products.”

Leonard Carmichael Society (LCS) Co-Presidents Bethany Kirby and Whitney Miller, both sophomores, voiced their support for the proposed food truck and agreed that the truck would provide both additional dining options and an avenue for interactions between Tufts and the larger Medford and Somerville communities.

“This [food truck] would provide a space for greater interactions and connections,” Kirby and Miller told the Daily in an email.

“There are many possible opportunities! LCS would welcome collaboration with the truck, especially for our Food Truck Week.”

Green Line Extension looks to mitigate air pollution in Medford, Somerville

continued from page 1 will select the design builder and the contractor who will be in charge of completing the extension’s design and construction.

In terms of the possibility of future cost increases for the project, Mares said that any unforeseen expenses would only affect the state portion of the funding.

“Considering that it’s just been through this thorough process, the expectation is that that’s less likely to happen that there’s a cost increase,” Mares said. “Also, there’s a contingency built into the cost estimate so that if costs go up a certain amount, the contingency will come into effect.”

Nonetheless, Somerville Board of Aldermen President William White noted that further steps need to be taken to ensure that the project goes forward smoothly.

“Because the state cut back in the design and scope of the Green Line Extension to save money after it received the approval of the project from the federal government, the state has had to go back to the federal government for a number of approvals in order to continue to receive federal funding of half of the project,” White told the Daily in an email.

White explained that Massachusetts has chosen three contractors to propose plans for

the design and construction of the project, and the winning contract will be adopted for the project from among these proposals.

“Now, with the federal approval, the bid documents are set to go out in May to those three bidders with the responses due in November,” White said.

According to White, the project should proceed as planned, but it will not be completely clear until November whether the Green Line Extension will move forward on schedule.

“In order for the project to go forward, the winning contractor must submit a bid less than $1.3 billion, which is the limit set by the state in order to meet the money that the state has budgeted for the project,” White told the Daily in an email.

Mares emphasized that the Green Line Extension will play a key role in the area’s transit network.

“There is no area in the region and very few in the country that are as densely populated as the corridor for the Green Line Extension.

Without the Green Line Extension, it’s not served by public transportation other than buses, so it’s actually an ideal corridor for light rail service,” Mares said. “It serves a lot of people and provides them much more reliable, consistent and quicker access to where the jobs are, and it’s a much more environmentally friendly way to get around.”

Mares highlighted the contribution that the extension will make to reducing air pollution and promoting more environmentally friendly methods of transportation.

“We’ve struggled over time with air pollution here,” Mares said. “And the Conservation Law Foundation got involved in order to make sure that the air quality doesn’t worsen, but gets improved and meets federal standards.”

According to Mares, the section of the extension that will most affect Tufts is undergoing a distinct approval process from the rest of the project.

“The Green Line Extension, as covered by the federal grant, goes to College Ave, but it’s really supposed to go to Route 16, which has big implications for Tufts,” Mares explained. “Because while that terminus is much better than College Ave, it serves … state-designated environmental justice neighborhoods, but also connects the Tufts campus in a positive way.”

Mares explained that the state will be funding this part of the Green Line Extension separately from the rest of the project. It will therefore go through its own environmental review and will receive its own cost estimate.

“Tufts University has always been supportive of the whole Green Line Extension,” Mares said.

At home in the South: Camille Jackson on Bostonians, Southern hospitality, attitudes toward diversity

Will record breaking ever end?

T

Assistant Features Editor

Editor’s note: This article is the second in a three-part series on Tufts students from Southern states.

First-year Camille Jackson is from Oklahoma City, Okla., where she has lived all her life. When other students find out where she is from, Jackson said they frequently react with astonishment. She recounted two instances where she had to deal with unexpected questions about her home state.

“They always ask if Oklahoma is the home of the Thunder — that’s our most well-known fact,” she said. “Someone actually asked me if we had actual roads, if we did not just have dirt roads. Well, we have actual roads. We were not left behind in the olden days. We came with the times.”

Although Oklahoma City is the largest city in Oklahoma, Jackson described it as small and rather quiet.

“You see maybe 20 people each day who you know personally … our downtown is not very big,” she said. “Pretty much the only things to do are school functions or sporting events. It’s one of those places where you make your own fun. There’s no real attractions.”

The city may be small, but Jackson said it fosters a sense of community even between complete strangers, which she appreciates.

“People are definitely a little more friendly in Oklahoma, so it gives a bigger sense of community, because just on a baseline everyone says hi to each other and asks how each other’s doing, regardless if we know the person or not,” Jackson said.

Even if ‘Oklahoma hospitality’ is a stereotypical notion, Jackson truly misses the communal activities that dominated social life back home.

“If it wasn’t going to a sporting event, it was maybe going to an eatery, because there is a plethora of food places in Oklahoma, so everyone tends to meet up and just go eat somewhere,” she said. “I kind of miss that.”

In contrast, she observed that Bostonians tend to mind their own business more.

“Everyone has some place to be, no one’s just hanging around,” Jackson said. “[I’m] not saying that people here [in Boston] aren’t as friendly as people in Oklahoma, it just seems like they won’t go out of their way to make someone feel more welcome.

You just have to find your own place here.”

She also noted that while the community in Oklahoma City was closely knit, it was also exclusive and difficult to join as an outsider. “[Oklahoma] is such a communal place, and if you are not in that community, you’re more or less an outcast,” Jackson said.

“Everyone’s kind of related to everyone, and the roots go back very far in Oklahoma.

Everyone lives in the same little neighborhood, at least in my area. Everyone tends to talk amongst themselves in that microcosm. It’s hard to penetrate into that.”

This exclusivity pervaded day-to-day social interactions in Oklahoma, which made Jackson’s ethnically diverse high school friend group the exception rather than the norm.

“Groups like that do happen [in Oklahoma], but it’s not something you’ll necessarily see on the day-to-day,” she

Camille Jackson poses for a photo on the Memorial Steps on April 18. said. “And when it happens, people do take a second glance. That’s not because it’s unwanted — although I can’t speak for everyone — but it’s because there’s such a small amount of diversity, so that forces a group mentality on people.”

She compared this to her experience with social interactions on Tufts’ campus, where she observes more diversity than back home.

“At least for me, coming from [Oklahoma], I see a lot more diversity here,” Jackson said.

“It’s not the fact that they don’t see race … but it’s the fact that it doesn’t matter, which is different from Oklahoma.”

Jackson acknowledged that people living in Oklahoma definitely place more emphasis on following the status quo and creating a distinct way of life in the state.

“I’m not going to say that Oklahomans are not forward-thinkers, but they definitely think of things in a more traditional way — this is how things are, so this is how things have to stay,” Jackson said. “We don’t really stray from what we’re doing, which is very different from other places, as I’ve found out.”

To seek a different environment and new opportunities, Jackson felt compelled to travel outside of the South for college.

Her mother, in particular, wanted her to experience life outside of Oklahoma and broaden her horizons.

“Nothing new really happens in Oklahoma. Everything is just a cycle that

keeps repeating itself. On top of that, my mom banned me and my brother from staying in-state, so we were forced to venture out,” Jackson said. “Her point was that since we grew up [in Oklahoma] our whole lives, we should leave for college. … She saw that we needed that opportunity to see what else is out there and to know that Oklahoma isn’t everything.”

Jackson’s parents grew up in Norman, Okla., 20 miles south of Oklahoma City.

They both left Oklahoma for school and to start a family, before returning to Oklahoma City to raise their children. As a result, Jackson’s southern roots have not defined her identity.

“I never related too hard to the Southern ideal. In that sense, I don’t do many of the things that are considered Southern,” Jackson said. “[My parents] lived in D.C. and then Albany for a while, so they really like the feel of these places and brought those [Northern values] to heart. That’s how they raised me and my brother.”

Nonetheless, Jackson said that she and her Tufts friends, who come from all over the country, each bring a piece of home into their friend group and their conversations, even if it’s something that they do not focus on.

“Where we are from has patterned our way of thinking, so with that we bring our ideals with us, and those differ from each other,” she said.

he fastest finisher of Monday’s Boston Marathon finished the 26.2-mile race in just under two hours and 10 minutes – an impressive feat considering it means that the champ, Geoffrey Kirui from Kenya, ran each mile of the marathon in under five minutes. More impressive is that according to the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF), the record for fastest marathon ever ran by a man is set at a remarkable 2:02:57 by Dennis Kimetto of Kenya from the 2014 Berlin Marathon.

For women, Paula Radcliffe of the United Kingdom holds the record of completing the 2003 London Marathon in 2:15:25. Most notable, however, is the steady improvement of these times as athletes beat each other out of world record holdings. Human capability now is not far off from the illusive two-hour marathon and records that were once thought to be impossible lie just around the corner. Now, athletes, coaches and fans wonder if these records will ever peak and what we can predict from past improvements for the future.

The first sanctioned marathon of 26.2 miles occurred at the 1908 London Olympics and was won with a time of 2:55:18 by American Johnny Hayes. Now, Kimetto’s current record has shaved almost an hour off this time. This massive improvement represents decades of record breaking and expectation shattering as a new understanding of fast was born. Looking to the next century, can we expect humans to be running marathons in a mere 60 minutes? Or is there bound to be a plateau of athleticism and ability? I took a look at the record data and research for both the men’s and women’s races to attempt to extrapolate how fast our little legs really might be able to carry us in the future.

According to The Washington Post’s collection of men’s marathon record times, the fastest marathon run time at the end of 1909 dropped more than five minutes from the held record set earlier that year. The history of women’s marathon record breaking is even more exciting, as a remarkable eight minutes were cut off the record time in 1964.

These leaps are astounding when noting that today, the record drops by seconds each time that it is broken.

Michael Joyner, a professor of anesthesiology at the Mayo Clinic, conducted a study in 1991 to model optimal marathon performance. He predicted that with optimal setting and athleticism, a male runner could complete a marathon in 1:57:58. If these predictions are correct, then the under-twohour marathon isn’t far off in comparison to recent improvements.

But, will humans ever be running marathons in significantly less than two hours?

Research on animal and human ability says probably not. According to Mark Denny, a professor of biology at Stanford University, models of statistics on race speed improvements of dogs, horses and elite human athletes assert that humans are likely to hit a limit of maximum speed while technology advancements may allow us to continue to slowly improve. Thus, though we may continue to see record breaking past the two-hour mark, new times may be in large part a testament to technology rather than to human ability.

Time for the Tufts Administration to Address the

in the Room

An Open Letter in Support of Tufts’ Part-time Faculty

1/4

We, students of Tufts University, stand with our Part-Time Lecturers in their ongoing contract negotiations this semester. As students, we know that our teachers’ dedication and love are at the core of our education. Part-Time faculty at Tufts teach countless courses across disciplines. We have a responsibility to stand with them as they demand fair working conditions.

Three years ago, Part-Time Lecturers won a fair union contract after a long, hard-fought struggle against inequitable job conditions. Students, tenured faculty, alumni, and university staff gathered in solidarity, playing a critical role in pressuring the administration to hear the demands of Part-Time Lecturers.

Despite reaching an agreement with the university administration, Part-Time Lecturers continue to suffer from job instability and low pay—realities that don’t match up with Tufts’ stated values of creating an inclusive and collaborative environment. The obstacles our adjuncts face are part of a larger pattern across higher education of marginalizing and devaluing professors—Tufts can be a leader in changing this destructive pattern.

1/8

This semester, the Part-Time Lecturers are re-entering negotiations with the Tufts Administration with the goal of improving their contract. We support them in their demands and ask the Tufts Administration to demonstrate its leadership in higher education by approving a fair contract with Part-Time Lecturers.

The singles bar: Coachella 2017 edition Arts Editor

It’s Coachella time, kids, and you know what that means: flash tattoos, day drinking, questionable celebrity fashion, unfortunate instances of cultural appropriation and new tunes from some of our favorite artists. Even if you can’t spend upwards of $399 per weekend to attend either of the festival’s extravagant weekends in Indio, lots of new music is already available for streaming, so you can listen while you save money! Don’t worry, Beyoncé couldn’t go either.

“The Cure” – Lady Gaga For Gaga fans who hated the stripped down, folksy “Joanne” (2016), you’re in luck. During her Coachella headliner performance on Saturday night, Lady Gaga included the surprise debut of a brand new song called “The Cure” that’s pure contemporary pop. One Tufts fan lovingly described the track as “so 2008,” but it’s more reminiscent of something from Selena Gomez’s “Revival” (2015) than anything from the beginning of Gaga’s career. Infectious electronic rhythms are paired with toned-down vocals and snapping that build to a chorus as catchy as the flu. The lyrics are sweet and easy, as Gaga gives her unconditional love and support to the object of her affection.

“If I can’t find the cure / I’ll, I’ll fix you with my love / And if you say you’re okay / I’m gonna heal you anyway / Promise I’ll always be there / Promise I’ll be the cure,” she sings. No doubt you’ll be hearing it at your next party.

Rating: 4.5/5 “Seize the Block” – Migos In the wake of “Culture” (2017) and the insane success of “Bad and Boujee,” Migos has been keeping a pretty low profile. The Atlanta trio dropped their first new material since the album with “Seize the Block,” their contribution to the soundtrack for “The Fate of the Furious” (2017), the eighth installment of the “Fast and Furious” franchise. Migos holds their own against the rap heavy-hitters like Lil Uzi Vert, Quavo, 2 Chainz and Young Thug on the rest of the soundtrack. “Seize the Block” is the pumpup rap song that’s unassuming enough to support on-screen action, but big enough to fuel your workout. Fans shouldn’t be disappointed by the new material, but

there’s no promising that it will hold them over until the next album.

Rating: 3/5 “Homemade Dynamite” – Lorde Lorde fans are over the moon about the amount of new music that the New Zealand ingénue has been dropping lately. In March, we got the first taste of her sophomore album “Melodrama” (2017) with “Green Light,” an energetic break-up anthem, and “Liability,” a lonely piano ballad. Ahead of her set at Coachella this past weekend, Lorde premiered anoth-

there.” This feel-good approach to pop is very different from the moody teen angst we get on “Pure Heroine” (2013), but it doesn’t quite sound like selling out, either. Hopefully both new tracks will be available on streaming services before the album’s release on June 16.

Rating: 3.5/5 “Squatting in Heaven” – Black Lips Black Lips, the Atlanta garage rock ensemble you probably know from the “(500) Days of Summer” (2009) soundtrack, just dropped the second single from their

Lady Gaga performs live at the Airbnb Open Spotlight concert in downtown Los Angeles, Calif., on Nov. 19, 2016. er single, “Sober,” at a surprise warm-up show in Pioneertown, Calif., her first full performance since 2014. While recordings of “Sober” sound promising, the real gem is yet another song she previewed during her Sunday night Coachella performance, “Homemade Dynamite.”

The single is still the same sultry, breathy Lorde we know and love, but with a new party edge and catchy, tongue-in-cheek chorus: “Blowin’ shit up with homemade dynamite.” The singer explained before the performance that “Homemade Dynamite” is about “the moment at the party when you’re with all your friends and it’s sick. Everyone’s

forthcoming LP, “Satan’s grafitti or God’s art?” (2017). The rough-and-ready preview single, appropriately titled “Squatting in Heaven,” will sound familiar to fans of Black Lip’s “Good Bad Not Evil” (2017), but unfortunately doesn’t have the same devil-may-care bounce of songs like “Bad Kids.” “Squatting in Heaven” is heavy on horns that drone rhythmically, making the whole thing sound pretty monotonous.

However, producer Sean Lennon’s psychedelic influence shines through in some of the guitar riffs. It’s a good listen if you’re feeling moody, but their first single, “Can’t Hold On,” is the stronger track.

Rating: 2.5/5

ART SHOW

Polykhroma’s ‘Utopia/Dystopia’ to round out semester with immersive installation

by Libby Langsner

Assistant Arts Editors

Student curatorial collective Polykhroma’s last show for the semester, “Utopia/Dystopia,” diverges from their usual gallery-like showing of works.

Artists were encouraged to submit plans for an immersive installation space, as opposed to individual paintings, sculptures, films, photographs and works of other various mediums. The cumulative effect is the creation of a space that narrows the gap between viewers and art.

Ella Huzenis, a member of Polykhroma, explained that the show is a departure

from the traditional white box gallery model.

“Given that our first two exhibitions took place at 59 Ossipee, we thought site-specific works would be a great tribute to the space itself and the experiences that Polykhroma, the artists we’ve exhibited and those who have attended our shows have had together there,” Huzenis told the Daily in an email.

The show displays the works of Montana Gulbrand and Sam Malabre, MFA candidate Katie Lee Haley, BFA candidate Çagğğıl Harmandar, senior Parker Heyl, senior Cecily Lo, Andrei Okolokoulak and Katrine Tsoris. The

show promises to display an interesting relationship between individual works within the installation and the various effects different kinds of work create.

Lo’s work, K A F K A // E $ Q U E€, addresses the show’s theme while seeming to pose questions about the unconscious and how it influences, and can sometimes even disrupt, our everyday lives. “[My work] explores the dichotomy of discarded opulence, a once utopic universe mangled by time, unsightly decay and ultimately what society deems indecent for further consumption,” Lo explained. see ART SHOW, page 6

Mini Metro

W

hy should you play “Mini Metro” (2015)? Because it is one of the most beautiful examples of using minimalism to make an incredibly intuitive, relevant and rewarding game.

Dreamed up in 2013 by the developers of New Zealand-based Dinosaur Polo Club at a game jam, this hypnotic wonder of a game is about creating an efficient transit system for real city layouts. The challenge starts off small, but as time progresses and the population grows in your city, whether it’s Osaka, Cairo or San Francisco, you must deal with the transit demand of the people there. The gameplay is simple in that the only thing you need to take care of is the layout of the railways and the trains on each line. Everything else is automatically taken care of; passengers, represented by small black shapes, calculate their own optimal transfers and destinations, and trains, represented by brightly colored rectangles, know when to stop and when to pass stations.

At certain junctions, the player can select which improvements to make to their metro, such as an extra train, an extra carriage, more tunnels to use to cross water or broadening a station to heighten its commuter hold capacity.

The game progresses until a station overcrowds and must be shut down.

Figuring out the most optimal layout of a subway system may sound dull and wholly uninteresting if you’ve never taken an interest in transit layout before, but that’s where this game truly shines. It is addicting, and it is as calming as it is electrifying. Drawing colorful lines from one station to the next is immensely satisfying, especially since you can see every step of every commuter’s journey from their beginnings to their destinations. It can even put the pressure on toward the end of a level. When your stations begin to fill up and there don’t seem to be enough trains, it takes a good amount of finagling to figure out the games’ algorithms and save your city. I cannot overstress how bizarrely fun this is.

If you play games with the sound on (please, please do), you may recognize the soothing soundscape characteristic to its composer, electronic artist Disasterpeace. This game would simply not be the same without its music.

Starting out silent, the levels become more and more abuzz with small pops and pleasantly pitched drones, turning into a complex yet soothing representation of a bustling city.

“Mini Metro” can be purchased on Steam for $9.99 (sometimes 15 percent off ) and downloaded to Windows, Mac or Linux. It’s also available for $4.99 on iPhone and Android. I would personally recommend purchasing it on mobile platforms because it allows for the curious situation of designing your own metro while riding on the T, wondering who on earth came up with the terms “Outbound” and “Inbound” or the monstrosity that is the Green Line.

tuftsdaily.com

Students, local artists featured in experiential exhibition ART SHOW continued from page 5 According to Huzenis, the title of the show, “Utopia/Dystopia,” came out of the brainstorming for Polykhroma’s previous show, “Borders.” “[The show] was initially inspired by the divisive nature of the political climate in the world right now, but as we started to brainstorm what ‘borders’ meant to us, we became interested in exploring the origins

of borders in general … and their personal implications, how perceived divisions and differences shape our individual points of view and identities,” Huzenis said.

Huzenis added that Polykhroma’s final show promised to be an inimitable experience. “[It’s going to] interrogate the distinction between ‘utopia’ and ‘dystopia’ in unique ways, and we encourage those who come to consider the meanings of and rela-

tionships between these concepts as well.”

Under a political administration that to some has felt dystopian since election day, maybe art can function as a vehicle to not only release the pressures of a dystopian society, but also as a way to understand why certain things are included in utopias and dystopias. For example, “Utopia” (1516), by Thomas More, originally sought to exemplify how the author’s homeland, England,

was not the perfect place it pretended to be. More understood that by looking at what people consider a perfect society, or the absolute opposite, sheds a light not only on the times people are living in, but also exposes their values in the form of something larger than themselves.

“Utopia/Dystopia” will be on view at 59 Ossipee Rd. on Thurs., April 20, from 8:30 p.m. to 12 a.m.

Opinion EDITORIAL

The dangers of promoting selectivity We’ve all seen the memes: a photo of ivy peeling off of a building captioned, “When you’re convinced you’ll get into Brown but then have to settle for Tufts,” the “Tufts Class of Brown ED1 Rejects” Instagram bio and the complex math equation with a quote underneath, “Damn it Jim, I’m Quirky, not an Ivy League Student!” Some are funny, most have gone stale, but they all raise the same question: Why do we keep perpetuating the idea that attending a more selective school like Brown University would have been better for us?

It’s because we are falling into the all-too-common trap of looking to false indicators of how students should pick a school, namely rankings and acceptance rates. Many students are groomed to think that their goal is the Ivy League and that lower acceptance rates mean a school is inherently superior. The chase for prestige has clouded our judgement toward how we pick schools and has led to unnecessary levels of selectivity and cutthroat competition.

It’s not our faults that some of us think this way. Every year around col-

lege acceptance time, our feeds are clogged with articles headlined “Teen gets accepted by all eight Ivy League schools,” and “[Insert Highly Selective College Here] has become even more selective, with an acceptance rate dropping 2.3 percent from the previous year.” Tufts students often share articles touting acceptance rate drops, proud at the selectivity (although our acceptance rate actually increased slightly for the class of 2021). To be fair, while these factors — rank, reputation, acceptance rate, etc. — usually signify a high-quality university, sometimes they miss the mark.

A college’s exclusivity does not directly correlate with its quality, and a school does not intrinsically improve because its acceptance rate dips. It only means that more people applied and the same number got in.

Some of those people may very well be applying for the prestigiously low acceptance rate.

This perpetuates a dangerous cycle of selectivity. If more and more students continue to apply each year because they are drawn in by a low acceptance

rate, the university is left with little incentive to improve its resources and quality of education.

The further these acceptance rates drop, the more high schoolers feel they must do to stand out, leading them to bolster their resumes with classes and clubs they don’t care about just to compete with other students in this small pool of selective schools.

Colleges, including Tufts, need to stop promoting their selectivity as if they are becoming more selective because the quality of their education has increased. The reality is that the college market is being flooded with more interested students, allowing schools to be more selective and increase already steep tuition.

Prospective students should also try to think beyond the realm of selectivity and instead look at which colleges are actually able to support all of their students through need-blind admissions policies, guaranteed housing and low student-to-professor ratios. At the very least, as Tufts students, let’s try not to be part of the misconception that selectivity is what matters most.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dean Solomont ignores double standards for dialogue Editors’ Note: Noah Habeeb is a former executive copy editor at the Daily.

Alan Solomont writes in his April 18 op-ed “Is this civic engagement?” that “Tufts University has a long and impressive history of students advocating for change.” I would add that Tufts also has a long and impressive history of chastising these very students until it becomes expedient to co-opt their labor and accomplishments into the narrative of “active citizenship.”

Solomont, in his concern for the “climate on this campus” which he finds is “discouraging open dialogue,” seems to point the finger squarely at Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) for our recently successful Tufts Community Union (TCU) Senate resolution. This sophomoric analysis ignores systemic barriers to cherished “dialogue” and fails to even flirt with the concept of power.

At Tufts Hillel, which is the umbrella organization for Friends of Israel (FOI), J Street U and Tufts American Israel Alliance ( TAIA), there are rules and red lines surrounding dialogue called the “Standards of Partnership for Israel Activities.” These include the stipulation that Hillel will “not partner with, house or host organizations, groups or speakers that as a matter of policy or practice … support boycott of, divestment from or sanctions against the State of Israel.” This systematically excludes Jewish Voice for Peace and Students for Justice in Palestine from campus dialogue with other groups and makes Jewish students who are critical of Israeli actions and policies shed part of their self if they want to enter institutional Jewish spaces.

Solomont is also either unaware or willfully ignorant of the systematic suppression that advocates for Palestinian

human rights often face. On this campus members of SJP have received social media threats, been profiled on a McCarthyist blacklist website and targeted in hate incidents by SPLC hate group the David Horowitz Freedom Center. Where was Solomont to decry the “climate on this campus” that was “discouraging open dialogue” when tactics of intimidation were used in “suppressing some voices,” namely those of SJP students? Instead, he has chosen to transfix on a far from perfect Senate proceeding, yet one that followed Senate procedures and included hours of rigorous debate.

We invite Dean Solomont, and any member of the Tufts community, as we have in years past, to join us for “Tea with SJP” this Friday in the Mayer Campus Center from 12:30-2:00 p.m.

Come and talk with us.

Anna Tolette The Elephant in the Room

Are all my friends doing things without me?

S

trength, I’ve found, comes in numbers. That being said, I am an unapologetic extrovert.

When going through a rough patch, I tend to turn to others around me to either validate or commiserate with how I’m feeling. My roommate, Jess, can definitely attest to the fact that if I have a headache, or feel nauseous, or feel anxious, or have a tingle in my foot, I will ask whether or not she feels the same way. Don’t get me wrong though, I wasn’t necessarily born an extrovert; rather, it is the way that I have chosen to be.

Just as some recharge when they are alone, I recharge when I am with other people. Even if Jess and I are sitting silently in our beds watching our own Netflix show, it somehow feels better to me than if I was doing the exact same thing without her in the room. Maybe I want validation that I am not the only one just sitting around and watching TV. Or maybe I just want to double check that everyone isn’t hanging out without me. I couldn’t tell you why I am the way I am, but I have a constant fear that my friends will find me annoying or just decide to ditch me.

This is such an engrained thought process for me that I had a very vivid dream about it. This dream consisted of me walking into my closest friends’ room in our Wren suite and seeing boxes with all their stuff packed up.

When I asked them what they were doing, they said, “We’re moving to Hodgdon, didn’t we tell you? We said it in the group chat!” But when I checked our group chat there was no sign of their departure message. Then the nightmare surfaced. “Oh, it must have been the other group chat,” one of them said. The fact that they had a group chat without me (in my dream) was absolutely devastating.

Granted, I have wonderful friends and I know they would never exclude me from a group chat or plans, but I still sometimes get that nagging feeling that I’m not good enough. It’s funny, I wrote my common application essay about a time in high school that a few girls that I was very close to ditched me as a friend and how I took that situation and turned it into a positive one for myself. Remember everyone, mean people don’t end up doing cool things with good people. Although I know that I have found some good eggs both at home and at Tufts, I still have to make sure that I am being a good friend myself. If I want people to like me, the solution is as simple as being a thoughtful and caring friend to them.

If you are extroverted and you recharge with people like me, you also have to make sure those people are doing okay for themselves too.

Jumbos look to rebound in match-up against Cardinals MEN'S LACROSSE

continued from back up goal in the third quarter, pushing Tufts to the top of the NESCAC in goals scored in man-up plays. In the final quarter, sophomore attackman Ben Connelly scored three goals of the six total scored.

With just under three minutes remaining and the score at 19-18, the Jumbos put everything they had into tying the game.

Despite finishing the game on an offensive possession, the Jumbos couldn’t tie it up, and the Bobcats rushed the field to celebrate their narrow win.

On Saturday, it was the Jumbos who secured the lead at halftime, but they were not able to maintain it through the second half, and the Mammoths eventually caught up and overtook.

Tufts jumped out to a 4-1 lead early in the first quarter with a pair of goals from Richman, and one apiece from Murphy and Mattson, but the

Mammoths evened the score at 5-5 by the end of the quarter.

The Jumbos generated a lead in the second quarter with Mattson scoring a trio of goals, Connelly netting a pair and Murphy and Richman grabbing one each to put the Jumbos up 12-8 at halftime.

However, the second half was a disaster for the Jumbos, and they only scored three goals to the Mammoths’ 13, to give up the game for a final score of 21-15. Mattson scored twice in the third quarter, totaling six through the whole competition, and the final goal was scored by sophomore defenseman Arend Broekmate.

Meanwhile, Amherst senior attackman Chris Albanese netted six, including two man-up goals.

“We needed to continue to attack through all 60 minutes, so it wasn’t enough to play any amount of minutes less than that,” Mattson said. “We have to make sure we’re unrelenting in our

pressure, and I’m confident that we will have the opportunity to do that, and will rise to that challenge throughout the rest of the year.”

Despite the two losses, it wasn’t all bad. Robert Treiber fired up the team late in the Bates game by pushing the ‘tenman ride’ offense and carrying the ball up the field for the team. The face-off unit demonstrated consistency in its strong wing players, who fought for every single ground ball in order to create offensive opportunities.

“We like to say that [the face-off unit] has ‘dirty knuckles’ from picking up those balls in the grass,” Mattson said. “They are a really hard working group and this week was no different. As an offense we have them to thank for a great deal of our possessions.”

This weekend Tufts faces Wesleyan. The Jumbos narrowly defeated the Cardinals 13-12 last season.

continued from back a 77, finishing tied for 13th, and Karr shot a 78 to tie for 15th. In doing so, Elliott notched his ninth consecutive round with a score in the 70s, a streak that started at the Williams Fall Invitational in September. Junior tri-captain Aaron Corn’s 81 (tied for 22nd) and sophomore Brian Creonte’s 88 (tied for 35th) rounded out the scoring for the Jumbos.

With so many first-years performing well in the Bentley Newport Classic and in recent tournaments, Elliott is excited for the future of the team.

“I’m the only senior on the team, so considering there are 12 [other] guys on the team currently and some good recruits coming in, the team really shouldn’t have trouble keeping the forward momentum,” Elliot said.

The Jumbos finished fourth out of six teams in the tournament with a total

team score of 312, finishing 24 over par.

The team results were close, as there was only a nine-stroke gap between the firstplace Bentley Falcons and the fourthplace Jumbos. Bentley was lead by senior captain John Perkins, who claimed first place at the tournament with a score of even-par 72.

Elliott was pleased with the outcome of the tournament and noted that it came despite some unfortunate circumstances that presented new challenges for the Jumbos.

“I think we played remarkably well,” Elliott said. “For the past week, we have been grieving over the loss of coach [George] Pendergast to a hip replacement. So considering [his current absence], it was impressive for us to compose ourselves and shoot some low scores.”

Associate head coach Brian Golden explained that he was also pleased

with the Jumbos’ performance and took it as a sign of a bright future for the Jumbos.

“The conditions were much drier than the conditions a week ago, but the team still had to contend with strong winds at Newport National and posted a very respectable team total,” Golden told the Daily in an email.

Tufts will compete in its last tournament of the season at the Johnson and Wales Invitational, hosted at Cranston Country Club in Cranston, Rhode Island.

The two day tournament will take place April 22 and 23.

According to Golden, the team is looking forward to the final tournament of the season, and the players view it as a means to measure their success one final time before the fall season.

“Heading into the team’s final tournament this coming weekend, I feel very confident the team can contend again and build even more momentum looking to the fall season,” he wrote.

Five early round draft mistakes

he key to a successful fantasy football draft is getting the highest value player for each of your picks.

For example, in a draft last year, I got Ezekiel Elliott in the third round of one of my drafts. In case you aren’t aware, this is a CRIME. The man was a top-three back and should’ve been off the board in the first 10 picks. In contrast, someone in my league took Jamaal Charles early in the second round because he “had a feeling.” That was a mistake. So this week, I highlight five players who I think would be mistakes if drafted before the end of third round.

1. Brandin Cooks, WR, New England Patriots Before all you Patriots’ fans start calling for my head, hear me out. Brandin Cooks’ previous QB was Drew Brees, who is the certified stat king. Brees throws more than almost any QB in the league and Cooks was his primary target. Yes, Cooks is now with the legendary Tom Brady, but Brady is known to spread the love across the offense. How much does Cooks’ value increase now that he’s on the Pats? If you ask me, I’d say his fantasy value probably drops a bit.

2. Marshawn Lynch, RB, Oakland Raiders Please don’t let the hype get to you.

Marshawn is a year out of football, and I have no idea what kind of shape he’s kept himself in. Obviously, it was good enough to get him signed, but I’m just unsure how well he is going to be able to play for the first half of the season. However, this is Beastmode we’re talking about … draft at your own risk.

3. Any Quarterback at all This is just my personal philosophy, but I never draft a QB before round four.

There are so many passable starting fantasy QBs, and really only players like Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady are gone by round three. Last year, I drafted Matt Ryan in the eighth round and Matt Stafford in the twelfth. You can almost always find top-tier QB value in the later rounds, so use those early picks for the RBs and WRs. 4. LeSean McCoy, RB, Buffalo Bills The run-heavy offense of Rex Ryan is dead. Ryan, who vowed to run more than any coach in history, tried to stay true to his word and made McCoy and Co. a bunch of fantasy studs. With Sean McDermott in town as the new head coach, I expect an entirely new game plan that will have more balanced passing and running games. The signing of TD-vulture Mike Tolbert is only going to lower McCoy’s value even more.

5. DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Houston Texans* I starred this one because it’s too early to tell what’s going to happen in Houston.

Hopkins was a widely-accepted first round pick last season who ended up being a massive bust due to horrible QB play.

Well, there is still no QB in Houston, but there is still time to snag one. If Houston gets a reliable QB, then ignore this post.

If they enter the season with Tom Savage at the helm, then stay the hell away from DeAndre.

MEN'S LACROSSE

Jumbos drop two straight after setting program record

by Maddie Payne Sports Editor

After a record breaking 11 wins to start the season, the Jumbos succumbed to back-to-back defeats at the hands of the Bates Bobcats and the Amherst Mammoths. In a heartbreaking 19-18 loss on Tuesday, Tufts conceded their No. 2 rank to undefeated Bates, and now sit at No. 3 nationally. After being tied for first in the NESCAC since the start of the season, the Jumbos fell to 6-2 in the conference, while the Bobcats top the leaderboard at 8-0.

On Tuesday at home the Jumbos gave up nine goals in the first quarter alone, going down 9-4 with five goals alone coming from Bobcat’s senior tri-captain midfielder Charlie Fay. Bates capitalized on both man-up chances in the first 15 minutes, and even added a man-down goal.

The Jumbos were kept in the game thanks to senior attackmen Zach Richman and Michael Mattson, sophomore attackman Danny Murphy, and first-year midfielder Nick Shanks.

“When you’re playing the number one team in the [conference] you can’t go down 9-4 at the end of the first, and you can’t be down seven goals in the third quarter and expect to have a good chance to win,” coach Casey D’Annolfo said. “We dug ourselves a little bit too deep of a hole, and weren’t able to climb out of it.

I thought we played really well for about two and a half quarters.”

In the second quarter, junior goalkeeper Robert Treiber traded spots with sophomore goalkeeper Ben Shmerler, and the teams went 4-4 before the half. The Bobcats scored an early man-up goal that Mattson answered, and then found the net once

Tufts attempts to intercept the ball from Williams during a game on Bello Field on April 5. more before the Jumbos had a run of their own. Bobcats’ first-year midfielder Sean Clark was given a 30 second penalty for pushing, and the Jumbos utilized quick ball movement to finally find Richman, open in the middle right in front of the goal. Less than a minute later junior attackman Frank Hattler received a feed from Murphy and slotted the ball in from a low angle. Only 23 seconds after that, Murphy fired his own into the net after rolling the crease.

It seemed as though the Jumbos would continue to dominate the quarter, until a Bates player went down in the midfield and the game was disrupted for over 10 minutes as Tufts EMT’s tended to his fractured leg. After the player was driven away in an ambulance, the game resumed, but the Jumbos had lost their momentum and the Bobcats quickly scored twice to cancel out the Jumbos’ work.

“I thought that the game was just a game full of runs,” D’Annolfo said.

“Obviously you never want to see someone get injured like that, but did it stifle our momentum? Probably.”

The Jumbos outscored the Bobcats in both the third and fourth quarter, but it wasn’t enough to tie or win the game.

First-years flash potential at Newport Classic

by Liam Finnegan

Assistant Sports Editor

On Tuesday, Tufts competed in the Bentley Newport Classic at Newport National Golf Club in Middletown, Rhode Island. In the second-to-last tournament of the spring season, the Jumbos had a successful outing led by a number of strong performances by first-year players.

First-year Sanjay Mukherjee had the team’s best round. In just his second tournament for the Jumbos, the Montclair, N.J. native shot a four-over-par 76, sharing ninth place out of 41 entrants at the tournament with three other players.

Senior tri-captain Owen Elliott noted that this was the first spring tournament for some of the new players who largely performed well.

“Sanjay was the real standout performer of the day. He said after the round that it was the first time he had really been comfortable during a tournament round, and it showed,” Elliot said. “Seventy-six in breezy conditions on that course is a very good score. It’s a real testament to his progress as a tournament player.”

Elliott and first-year Brandon Karr finished not far behind, as Elliott shot see MEN'S GOLF, page 11
