Yale’s defeat of Quinnipiac followed upsets of Minnesota, North Dakota and UMass-Lowell in the NCAA Tournament. By the time they beat the Bobcats, the Elis had defeated the top three teams in the national rankings. BY ALISON GRISWOLD AND ASHTON WACKYM SENIOR REPORTER AND STAFF REPORTER PITTSBURGH — Quinnipiac beat Yale all season. Except when it mattered the most. The Bulldogs stunned the Bobcats, the CONSOL Energy Center and the college hockey world on Saturday as they rode a wave
of upsets to its completion: the national championship. Sticks and helmets flew, goaltender Jeff Malcolm ’13 disappeared into a sea of players and the Yale coaching staff swarmed head coach Keith Allain ’80 as the team sealed a 4–0 victory over Quinnipiac to claim its first NCAA Division I title in program history.
It was Yale’s first Frozen Four appearance since 1952, and made the nation’s oldest college hockey team the 19th program to join the list of DI national champions. Malcolm stopped all 36 shots he faced, captain Andrew Miller ’13 scored one and earned a record-breaking 114th career assist, and Jesse Root ’14 put away the game with an empty-
netter at 13:02 in the third period. “This is a goal of ours and a dream,” said Malcolm, who celebrated his 24th birthday on Saturday. “I’ve been tearing up earlier, but I mean it’s just an unbelievable feeling to share with the coaches and the team.” The Elis broke through nearly 40 minutes of deadlock to take a 1–0 lead with just three-and-
YUAG ‘irreplaceable’ to teaching At 2:08 p.m. on a Wednesday afternoon, class is in session. Huddled together, eight students circle around a small Elizabeth Catlett painting. Talk turns to brushwork and background before professor Key Jo Lee interrupts to reference “Parks and Recreation.” Laughter echoes along the room’s blinding white walls. A far cry from the familiar woodwork of WLH, this class has no desks, no blackboard and no chalk. Above Curly Raven Hotlon’s “Bred for Pleasure,” gently lit white letters announce the location: “Jane and Richard Levin Study Gallery.” Located on the top floor of the Yale University Art Gallery, the Levin Gallery opened as part of the museum’s 14-year renovation project, which finished in December and cost $135 million

in total. The gallery, a single room, is a microcosm of the museum’s breadth: a grab bag of ancient Indian coins, graphic prints of Vietnam and religious panels. As a teaching tool for Yale professors, the space showcases pieces related to specific University courses. During the Wednesday afternoon sessions, the gallery plays host to “Re-Visioning Subjectivities: Art, Literature, and Black Womanhood,” an American and African-American Studies class taught by Lee and professor Hazel Carby. But efforts to expand the museum’s educational offerings have not stopped with the Levin Gallery. The Nolen Center for Art and Education, also built during the renovation, includes two object study galleries and a library open to the public. The Mimi Gates study gallery, on the first floor, houses a bourgeoning collection of Islamic art. Since its conception, the YUAG has
enjoyed a close relationship with the University’s academic programs. Deputy Director for Collections and Education Pamela Franks estimated that 48 courses visited the museum in the 2011’12 academic year, excluding those in the History of Art Department. Including art courses, the gallery hosted 578 individual class sessions that same year. The physical might of the renovation effort, which linked the museum’s Kahn, Street and Swartwout buildings along High Street, mirrors an effort to diversify the breadth of the YUAG’s collection. Along with the growth in capacity comes a more involved relationship with the University and New Haven communities. But students and professors are still struggling to define the YUAG’s new place in the Yale community. SEE GALLERY PAGE 4
turn in the third. Left-winger Charles Orzetti ’16 started what would become a third-period scoring spree at 3:35, picking up his own rebound and niftily sliding it past Hartzell to put Yale up 2–0. Nine minutes later, right-winger Miller added to the tally for his second goal of SEE HOCKEY PAGE B1

a-half seconds remaining in the second period. Defenseman Gus Young ’14 snagged a loose puck inside the blue line and shot it low on net while Clinton Bourbonais ’14 screened Hobey Baker runner-up Eric Hartzell, then deflected the shot through his legs.

BY CYNTHIA HUA STAFF REPORTER At the end of an election with an unprecedented three seats left uncontested, Danny Avraham ’15 was officially named president of the Yale College Council for the 2013-’14 academic year. In a Friday email to all undergraduates, the YCC announced that Leigh Hamilton ’15, Andrew Grass ’16 and Ben Ackerman ’16 were elected to the positions of treasurer, secretary and Undergraduate Organizations Committee chair, respectively, while Avraham, Kyle Tramonte ’15 and Eli Rivkin ’15 each won with 100 percent of the vote, running unopposed for president, vice president and events director. Tramonte said this year’s YCC elections — which took place from Thursday at 9 a.m. to Friday at 5 p.m. — were more
relaxed than last year’s because of the three uncontested spots. While official vote counts were not included in the Friday email, Elizabeth Henry ’14, chair of the elections committee, said that 725 people voted for Avraham and 228 abstained in the election for YCC president. In the 2011 and 2012 YCC elections, when vote counts were released to the student body in a campus-wide email, 2,618 and 2,704 students, respectively, voted for president. In the vice presidential race, Tramonte received 667 votes, with 135 abstentions, compared to 2,379 and 2,311 total votes in 2011 and 2012, respectively. Hamilton defeated Eugene Yi ’15 with 581 votes and 60.71 percent of the vote, Ackerman captured 32.13 percent of the vote to beat out Brian Lei ’16, SEE YCC ELECTIONS PAGE 4
