BY LARRY MILSTEIN STAFF REPORTER Three days after the largest computer system failure in recent memory at Yale, the root cause has yet to be fully determined. Beginning Thursday evening at 6:30 p.m., the University’s data server crashed, causing all yale.edu websites and accounts to become inaccessible for hours. Over the next day, pages such as EliApps, Central Authentication Services and Yale’s Virtual Private Network were gradually restored, with Classes*v2 — the central portal for Yale courses — the last to be confirmed as fully functional at 10 p.m. on Friday. Although students interviewed said the technical problems created difficulty, Yale’s Chief Information Officer Len Peters said Saturday that he was committed to preventing an outage of this magnitude from occurring again.

City hopes to revamp Goffe Street Armory BY NOAH DAPONTE-SMITH CONTRIBUTING REPORTER New proposals from City Hall could soon transform the Goffe Street Armory — a cavernous, 240,000-square-foot building in Dixwell that has sat vacant for five years — into a storage center and generator of solar power. The building, according to City Controller Daryl Jones, could be used as a storage space for city records. Additionally, proposals from City Hall call for the construction of a new roof for the armory, on which solar panels would be built. The proposed renovations are a part of New Haven’s “Design-Build Program for the City.” On Sept. 7, Mayor Toni Harp’s administration began soliciting proposals — due by Oct. 7 — to partially redesign several buildings across New Haven, including the armory, City Hall and the Goffe Street firehouse. According the municipal document requesting these proposals, Elm City officials expect to select a firm for the armory project by Oct. 14.

Amid beating drums and a traditional Native American Round Dance, roughly 40 city residents and Yale students gathered on the New Haven Green on Sunday afternoon to protest Columbus Day. Richard Cowes, representing the Connecticut Native American Inter Tribal Urban Council, read a proclamation from Mayor Toni Harp declaring today, Oct. 13, to be Indigenous People’s Day. Cowes read the proclamation, authored by Sebastian Medina-Tayac ’16,

a former staff reporter for the News, at the end of a two-hour event that included performances by undergraduate student organization Blue Feather Drum Group, speak-outs from attendees and statements condemning the celebration of Columbus Day. “If [Columbus] were here right now, trying to invade, he’d be considered a terrorist — an illegal alien,” New Haven resident Yecenia Rivera said at the event. Rivera, a member of the Taino tribe, said she was attending the demonstration to protest the idealization of Christopher Columbus’s

exploitation of native peoples and the marginalization of indigenous groups. Two different petitions circulated among the audience during the event: one requesting New Haven to officially change Columbus Day to Indigenous People’s Day, and another requesting Governor Dannel Malloy to stop honoring a detainment request on grassroots organization Unidad Latina en Acción member Espian Lima, who has been in detention for almost a year without due process, MedinaSEE PROTEST PAGE 4

Health hackathon kicks off BY STEPHANIE ROGERS STAFF REPORTER On Friday, undergraduate Selin Isgüven ’15 entered Hacking Health @ Yale without a team, a project or any inkling of what health care problem she was going to hack. But by Sunday evening, her team had come up with an idea of how to give earlier, more cost-effective diagnoses to patients with Alzheimer’s. The event, which is in its first year, is modeled off of MIT Hacking Medicine and took place over three days in the School of Medicine, Center for Engineering Innovation and Design and the School of Management. The Hackathon’s 70 participants came from a breadth of fields, including law, business, medicine, engineering and design. But everyone was there for the same purpose — to find a solution to issues facing health care in the U.S. “It tends to be difficult working in health care because often doctors are working within their own four walls and there is a lack of collabo-

ration,” said Shervin Etemad, a research associate in the School of Medicine’s obstetrics and gynecology department and an event organizer. “We wanted to break down those inter-professional boundaries.” Coordinators began planning the hackathon over a

month and a half ago, said Jean Zheng, engineering director of the Yale Center for Biomedical and Interventional Technology and the event’s director. Organizers received many of their materials and slides SEE HEALTH PAGE 4

.COMMENT “It sends a message that the deceased will not be forgotten.” yaledailynews.com/opinion

'JOEY00' ON 'NHPD TO SET UP COLD CASES UNIT'

Refuse to come out T

he ways in which I have awkwardly attempted to tell others about my sexuality are as varied as the colors now prominently displayed on my dorm room’s pride flag. I’ve tried the standard: You sit someone down, stumble over your first few words, let out a nervous laugh, start over and finally string together so many non sequiturs that by the time you finally slip out the words “I’m gay,” the words merely confirm what was obvious at the beginning of the conversation. Other times, I’ve opted for the more impersonal: You write up a long message attempting to explain the unexplainable, beg for understanding, throw in clichés that boil love and lust down to bumper sticker language and finally click send — eyes closed and heart aflutter, hoping the recipient won’t use this personal information as a permanent weapon against you. And I’ve even gone for the creative workarounds: Show up to a pride event and post pictures, write a sentimental Facebook post, slap a Human Rights Campaign sticker on your laptop or just lose a particular round of Never-HaveI-Ever. I’ve tried each and every one of these, experimenting with how best to explain that my romantic interests differed ever-so-slightly from others. And the process of slowly and painfully expanding the circle of enlightened people dragged out for nearly three years. It was, in a word, absurd. So when I saw several national organizations celebrate National Coming Out Day over the weekend, I couldn’t shake the feeling that we are going about it all wrong. In coming out to other people, I too often caught myself apologizing for my own sexuality. By scheduling time in my week for an emotionally charged conversation about the most intimate details of my life, I signaled to others that this was a trait in need of explanation. It was a flaw I hoped they would forgive. Over and over again, I played defense, bracing for their scorn. But I should not have allowed other people to have so much control over me. I should have mustered the courage to stand firm in my convictions. I was not going through a phase. I was not strange. I was not flawed. Don’t misunderstand: It is unequivocally wrong for the non-queer majority to foster an unsafe environment in which we feel uncomfortable with our own human experience. They are the ones who most need to change. However, we in the queer community

have unintentionally amplified the stigma f o r c e d upon us by accepting “coming out” as TYLER mandatory BLACKMON apart of every queer perBack to son’s life. Gender Blackmon and sexuality are fluid, but they are also immutable. They are not chosen traits for which we should feel any guilt or responsibility. And if I could do it over again, I would have refused to buy into the philosophy that I needed to explain my sexuality to every relative, friend and random passerby who raised an eyebrow. I would have simply lived my life unapologetically, waiting for others to notice.

DON’T APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR SEXUALITY So if we must save this relic of days gone by, perhaps we should retool National Coming Out Day to focus on the person who truly matters — you. Come out to yourself. Be true to who you are. Then let everyone else simply notice how comfortable you are in your own skin. And in the meantime, the rest of us should give you the resources and support you need to make that happen. Should other people know you’re different? Absolutely. In fact, every gay, bisexual or transgender person who makes their identity known allows more Americans to attach a human face to the political and social struggle for LGBT rights. But the way we let people know matters. You want to tell your suitemates you like guys? Great. Grab a guy at the next Co-Op party, bring him back to your suite, march him right past your suitemates and sling a tie over your doorknob. No apologies. No fanfare. No awkward conversations. Because being queer is not shameful, and it’s not even abnormal. It’s a fundamental part of who you are, and you should never let anyone convince you to apologize for something you can’t change.

VIEW NOTES FOR THE DEAN

For clarity on mixed-gender housing

C

ollege brings many changes — chief among them the freedom to live with your friends. It was four years ago when a quarter of Yale undergraduates gained the option of living with friends of the opposite gender. Today, only juniors and seniors can live in mixed-gender suites. As the new dean of Yale College, Jonathan Holloway has a lot on his plate — perhaps most significantly the student body growth accompanying the new residential colleges. But one issue of vital importance to many students is administrative resistance to the expansion of mixed-gender housing for sophomores. Though the decision also involves the Council of Masters and the Yale Corporation, it is Holloway who sets the tone for the College, and he can use his position to give credence to students’ concerns. As the master of Calhoun College and in his early days as dean, Holloway has expressed opposition to the expansion of mixedgender housing. In February 2013, Holloway told the News that he did not support the policy due to “a feeling that, developmentally, sophomores are not ready for mixed-gender suites.” He offered a similar view in an interview with YTV’s “Everybody Has a Story” series last month. Holloway said research in neuroscience supports the idea that there are significant developmental

differences between sophomores and juniors, although he did not cite a specific study. He also said there were logistical difficulties involved in expanding mixedgender housing. Holloway did not elaborate beyond noting that Harvard houses its sophomores in a different way than Yale does. We think it’s time there is a thorough and open process for laying out the pros and cons of mixed-gender housing for sophomores. This should begin with clarity from the administration on the arguments against the policy change. The College should create venues for students and administrators to discuss the issue and to ask specific questions, perhaps in the form of a town hall meeting in Sudler Hall. We should debate the issue as a community, but first we all must be on the same page about the pertinent research and logistical hurdles. The News believes that sophomores should have the option of living in mixed-gender suites. We come to this conclusion having thought deeply about the limitations single-gender housing poses for sophomores, especially queer and gender-queer students. Yale is the only member of the Ivy League that does not offer a mixed-gender housing option for its sophomores. We should lead our peer institutions in fostering a more open environment for students of all genders and sexualities.

We also think there is a strong argument that expanding mixed-gender housing could improve Yale’s sexual culture and help reduce the likelihood of sexual assault. Assistant Dean of Student Affairs Melanie Boyd '90 articulated this view in a Dec. 17, 2011 letter to the Yale College Council’s committee on genderneutral housing. She wrote that “more flexible housing arrangements” might reduce “homophobia, heterosexism, and social ‘outsider’ status” — factors that enable sexual violence against LGBTQ students. We agree. This housing option could help foster relationships between students of different genders — relationships that are not necessarily sexualized. Students would have more opportunities to form relationships outside tight-knit circles of single-sex friendships, promoting empathy and awareness. We see other reasons for the expansion, not least that students here do, in fact, form friendships that cross the gender binary. The College’s housing policy enforces a set of rigid expectations that women and men behave differently — expectations with little basis in reality and yet reinforced by learned practices and norms. Student surveys indicate strong support for sophomore mixed-gender housing. According to a YCC report last December, 90 percent of surveyed freshmen and 85 percent of

surveyed sophomores expressed either support or indifference toward the policy. Seventy percent of upperclassmen living in mixed-gender suites said they would have considered mixedgender housing as sophomores. Yet a March YCC email alerted us that, while the Dean’s Office had been working to expand mixed-gender housing, “they encountered difficulties in restructuring living spaces in certain residential colleges.” The email also said it was possible that then-Dean Mary Miller would recommend that her successor implement the policy change. No such luck. We are optimistic that Holloway will take a thorough look at the merits of gender-neutral housing; we think he owes it to students. Perhaps more importantly, we hope he can bring clarity and transparency to this issue, discussions of which have been constrained by a collective lack of understanding. How would mixed-gender housing for sophomores affect room draw? How would doubles be handled? What sorts of conversations need to happen to discourage romantic partners from living together? Is the end result mixed-gender housing for freshmen? These are all valid questions — let’s discuss them openly, and then come to a decision. We hope the result will be more freedom and more options in the lives of Yale sophomores.

Farewell, grade deflation

THAO DO/ILLUSTRATIONS EDITOR

I

had never heard of Princeton’s grading policy until I visited the campus as an eager high school junior. “Here at Princeton, no department can give A’s to more than 35 percent of students,” my tour guide said (or something along those lines — it’s been five years). “But it’s ok, because grad schools and employers know all about it.” And I knew, right then and there, that I wouldn’t apply to Princeton. Not because I’m a grade grubber (though, of course, I am). But rather, because I knew what a policy like that would really mean. Under the former grading policy, “getting an A is a ruthless, unceasing struggle of the fittest to the end, with A’s remaining rare for no justifiable reason other than to bolster the perceived difficulty of this school,” wrote Princeton freshman Sarah Sakha in a truly outstanding column in The Daily Princetonian last week. It seemed to high school me — correctly, I now believe — that such a policy would make classes at Princeton competitive, even cutthroat. Especially now, when it has become so difficult to get into college and the kids applying are better qualified than ever, such a policy remains profoundly misguided. Furthermore, I believed, such a policy would fundamentally alter Princeton’s culture, extending beyond the classroom and bleeding into all other aspects of undergraduate life. “Ultimately, it comes down to this:

it’s all about the grades,” Sakha wrote. “Princeton has engendered a culture that attributes exorbitant value to a SCOTT letter grade.” STERN We should note that A Stern P r i n c e t o n ’s Perspective yield declined over the past decade, starting roughly when the school began to deflate grades. I don’t think this is because students care so much about their grades. Instead, they care about the culture of the place they call home. But this is all old news. That grading policy is dead and gone. Yet it’s worth dwelling for a moment on what we can learn from Princeton’s mistake. Especially considering how close Yale came to almost enacting a similar — or even more draconian — policy two years ago, we should pay close attention to our neighbors to the south. First, the 35 percent cap was never intended to be a hard limit; rather, it was intended to be a “goal,” former Dean of Princeton College Nancy Malkiel told the New York Times in 2010. This sounds a lot like many of the proposals floated at Yale last year, where the limit on the number of A’s in a given course would be a mere recommendation or guideline. But, at Princeton, the “goal”

quickly became seen as an inflexible quota. “I had complaints from students who said that their professors handed back exams and told them, ‘I wanted to give 10 of you A’s, but because of the policy, I could only give five A’s,’” Princeton’s then-student body president, Connor DiemandYauman, told the Times in the same article. Indeed, Princeton’s Faculty Committee on Grading concluded in its 2014 report that the policy had been widely misinterpreted. Though the number of A’s at Princeton had increased slightly over the last few years, it had hovered mostly around 35 percent. The takeaway: Guidelines don’t work. Second, confusion and misunderstanding inevitably surround such a policy. Though Princeton claimed the policy hadn’t hurt its students’ job and grad school prospects, the university reportedly had considerable trouble explaining the policy to employers and other schools. Initially, the university sent out a letter and attached a statement to every transcript. Then, when confusion remained, the university distributed a question-andanswer booklet. In spite of these efforts, grade deflation may still have hurt Princeton graduates. A recent study by Samuel Swift, a Berkeley academic, found that grade inflation actually helps students in the search for jobs or in grad school admissions. Deflating grades, it would seem, is really not worth the confusion. Third, such a policy can have

long-lasting negative results, even once it is removed. Looking beyond the damage done to Princeton’s reputation and undergraduate culture, bewilderment remains in the policy’s wake. “The end of grade deflation was initially met with delight, then with some skepticism and finally — as with all things unclear and undefined — with confusion,” Princeton junior Ali Akram Hayat wrote in The Daily Princetonian last week. What will happen with the transcripts of upperclassmen, partly grade-deflated and partly not? The university announced it would send out a letter accompanying transcripts, but, of course, we all saw how well that worked the last time. Further, the Faculty Committee on Grading recommended replacing numerical guidelines with “grading standards” to be developed by each department. But what does that mean, exactly? According to the Harvard Crimson, many professors hoping to spur Harvard to deflate grades were disheartened by Princeton’s decision. I suspect similar sentiments were expressed behind closed doors here at Yale. With Princeton’s pitiable situation in mind, I can only hope that such ideas stay right there — behind closed doors. Out of sight. Out of mind. Forever. SCOTT STERN is a senior in Branford College. His columns run on Mondays. Contact him at scott.stern@yale.edu .

Families flock to see performance groups BY TYLER FOGGATT AND RACHEL SIEGEL STAFF REPORTERS Each year during Family Weekend, student performance groups reap the benefits of soldout concerts and shows as relatives flood campus, eager for entertainment. This year in particular, many groups reported ticket shortages and sold-out performances. Some even had to rent significantly larger venues for their concerts — the a cappella group The Baker’s Dozen, for example, relocated from the chapel of St. Thomas More to the more spacious New Haven Center Church on the Green. Unlike the rest of the year, when performances are generally targeted at students alone, Family Weekend acts as a major fundraiser for dance teams and a cappella groups, many of which do not regularly charge admission to their various shows. With many groups putting on their first fall performances on the occasion, money brought in during Family Weekend through ticket and album sales will often act as a cushion for months to come. “[The money] acts as a buffer for us until our semester shows in November,” said Joana Andoh ’17, who dances in Steppin’ Out, Groove and Rhythmic Blue. “The money goes towards costumes for the Fall Show, initiations and other group activities to usher in the new taps.” Zachary Kayal ’17, business manager of a cappella group Mixed Company, said Family Weekend performances are financially sustaining for a cappella groups, as the groups generally earn enough revenue to rent out a performance space, purchase a sound system, print tickets and hold after-parties. Caroline Andersson ’15, copresident of Steppin’ Out and the former business manager of Proof of the Pudding, said Family Weekend is especially important for dance teams that don’t perform as often as a cappella groups. As the dance team considers competing and traveling more often, she added, every extra bit of revenue counts. Small-scale costs that go towards publicity materials add up quickly, Rhythmic Blue president Nicole Feng ’16 said. But despite the expenses, she added, these groups generally do more than break even. “Family weekend is our second largest fundraiser,” Feng said. “The [Off Broadway Theater] rental fee is $200, and publicity also costs. … Still, we do end up coming out with a lump of dough at the end.” To cut down on a show’s cost — namely, paying for performance space and stage crew — many groups choose to combine

their acts in one joint concert. For example, the Duke’s Men and Mixed Company performed together on Friday night, thus cutting each group’s rental fee for Sheffield-Sterling-Strathcona Hall in half. Rhythmic Blue did something similar by holding collaborative performances with Yale Jashan Bhangra and Steppin’ Out on Saturday. Beyond cutting costs, this technique attracted such a large crowd that the groups had to turn many people away for this year’s performance. The overflow, however, was likely caused by a glitch in ticket distributions, concert-goers said, as the groups had rented a more spacious venue anticipating a large audience. Simon Schaitkin ’17 of the Duke’s Men said the group’s Family Weekend joint concert with Mixed Company generally brings in two to three times the funds of a normal concert. Schaitkin added that the cost of renting out SSS was small compared to other performance expenses. “I think we paid $70 for eight hours [of rental space], which is really a small fraction of what we end up making,” Schaitkin said. “To give you some idea, we would make that back if 10 students bought tickets at the door. The bigger costs are things like hiring a sound engineer. That sets us back a bit.” But not all groups approached Family Weekend as a major financial booster. Tangled Up In Blue, Yale’s undergraduate folk ensemble, only charged parents for tickets, contrasting with most groups which charged both parents and students. Rachel Yalowitz ’17 of Tangled Up In Blue said that the group mainly views Family Weekend as an opportunity for their new taps, the “tuiblets,” to perform for their families and friends for the first time in a more intimate setting. “That’s why we booked Slifka for the performance, instead of SSS 114,” said Yalowitz. Due to its large endowment, the Yale Glee Club rarely charges admission for its performances, Irene Connelly ’17 said. Connelly said that unless a particular concert venue requires that the Glee Club sell tickets, all performances are free of charge. Connelly added that this weekend’s joint concert with Yale Concert Band and the Yale Symphony Orchestra almost filled Woolsey Hall. In 2009, the name “Parents Weekend” was officially changed to “Family Weekend.” Contact TYLER FOGGATT at tyler.foggatt@yale.edu and RACHEL SIEGEL at rachel.siegel@yale.edu .

The Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History’s twelfth annual Fiesta Latina coincided with National Hispanic Heritage Month. BY STEPHANIE ROGERS STAFF REPORTER On Saturday, more than just dinosaurs took center stage in the Great Hall of the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History. Merengue musicians, mariachi bands and ballet folklorico performers could all be found singing and dancing next to the Apatosaurus. These performers were just one part of the events held at the Peabody’s twelfth annual “Fiesta Latina.” The free festival, which welcomed over 2,500 museum visitors, featured crafts, activities, fossil digs, performances and specimen viewings, all centered around Latin American culture. Event coordinator Josue Irizarry said this year was the most successful the festival has ever been. The Peabody hosted the event in collaboration with Junta for Progressive Action, an organization that aims to provide services and advocacy for members of the Latino community in New Haven. The event was initially inspired by a desire to reach out and engage all members of the Latino com-

munity — those from the tip of Argentina to the northern Mexican border — to teach them more about science, Irizarry added. “It’s a fascinating culture,” Irizarry said. “Each Latin American country has a different history, different culture and different music and not everybody knows that.” According to Irizarry, most natural history museums do not feature cultural events like Fiesta Latina. All information featured during the celebration, including museum specimen names, appeared in both Spanish and English, he added. Coinciding with National Hispanic Heritage Month, the event included merengue, salsa and Caribbean music, as well as cultural crafts and activities. Children were also exposed to activities showcasing pioneers in Latin American culture, from scientists to athletes to astronauts. Despite the organizers’ focus on cultural education, many children attendees interviewed said their favorite activity was face painting. Even Yale undergraduate Dante Archangeli ’17 had his

face painted like a tiger’s. Archangeli said he was surprised by all the museum had to offer and believes free-admission events like Fiesta Latina are integral to bringing science to the community. He hopes the museum plans on having similar events in the future, he said. Event volunteer Coralys De Jesus was supposed to stop working at around three in the afternoon, but so many visitors kept arriving that she had to stay later, she said. Volunteering for a second year at the event, De Jesus said it was better organized and better attended than in past years. She added that the museum does an excellent job of including various Latin American countries, rather than focusing on just one. Yale Ballet Folklórico dancer Cristal Suarez ’16 said her group, which has been attending the Peabody festivities for long as she has been a member, loves performing for the families with small children. The day, which fell during Family Weekend this year, also offers a great opportunity for the group to debut their newest members, she added.

“I think [Fiesta Latina] really gives us a chance to share our culture with other people, and in turn to learn from others and to see what we share in common,” Suarez said. Irizarry said the organizers have already received the same positive feedback they have year after year about the event, but are still trying to find ways to attract more people next year. Six-year-old museum visitor Amélie Michaelson held a live bird and snake for the first time at Fiesta Latina, but her family was there for more than fun, her father Marc Michaelson said. Through attending the event, the family hopes to stay better connected with Amélie’s mother’s Puerto Rican culture. “We wanted to celebrate Latin culture because it is a big part of New Haven and a big part of our family” Michaelson said.

At an Asian American Cultural Center event on Friday evening entitled “Asian-American Identity and the Black/White Binary,” conversations allowed roughly 40 attendees to voice their opinions on four topics: structural racism, interpersonal relations, inter-community solidarities and intra-community politics. The event was also meant to provide a setting for academic discussion, as there are no classes offered this semester with an Asian-American focus, according to the AACC’s Asian-American studies coordinators Karen Zheng ’17 and Cassie Tarleton ’16. Austin Long ’15 — current head of the Asian-American Studies Task Force — said academic representation of AsianAmericans is an important goal for their community. “We have a great cultural house and a thriving community, but Yale is an academic institution, and we’d like to see the student representation within the curriculum as well,” Long said. Zheng, who helped organize the event, said that her desire to host this conversation was inspired by the racial violence throughout the United States over the summer. On a retreat she attended with other Asian-American student group leaders, they discussed strife in Ferguson, Missouri, and its relevance to the Asian-American community. Zheng said she wanted these discussions to continue back at Yale. The event was held in the style of a fishbowl discussion, inviting attendees to share personal stories and discuss means for change. Students shared the

stereotypes attached to being Asian-American and some of the issues this has led to both on campus and in their own home communities. Tarleton said that although most attendees identified as Asian-American, the event was intended to be inclusive. “These are conversations for both within the Asian-American community and for all groups,” she said. Mary Lui, a tenured history professor, is the only professor who teaches Asian-American studies at Yale. In previous years, she has taught “AsianAmerican History: 1800–Present,” “Asian-American Women and Gender 1830–Present” and “Asian-American History and Historiographies.” However, Lui is on leave this semester, and due to the lack of a replacement, there is no class offered. Liu and

AACC Dean Saveena Dhall could not be reached for comment. The Asian-American Studies Task Force was formed in 2008 to try and combat the discrepancy between student representation and academic representation, Long said. Despite the fact that it was established over five years ago, he said, the task force has struggled to reach its objectives. The lack of collaboration from the faculty and administration has been a major obstacle, Long said. “The administration tries to conflate Asian studies with Asian-American studies, refusing to acknowledge the differences between the two,” he said. As a response to the dearth of courses, undergraduate students have taken to independently studying an Asian-American curriculum. Lili Johnson GRD ’19 said she

is setting up a reading group that will allow students to study Asian-American studies. “The reading group is meant to provide a safe and generative space for students to explore Asian-American studies and identity. All ideas, identities, backgrounds, subject positions are welcome,” Johnson said. The Asian-American Task Force will host the first AsianAmerican Studies Conference in the spring, Long said. The conference will spark further discussion on the issue of Asian-American under-representation in the Yale curriculum and generate more exchanges with faculty and administration. The Asian American Students Association was founded in 1969. Contact STEPHANIE ADDENBROOKE at stephanie.addenbrooke@yale.edu .

FROM THE FRONT Columbus excoriated at protest PROTEST FROM PAGE 1 Tayac said. He added that this petition is part of a larger push against deportation of indigenous peoples. At the end of the festivities, Cowes announced that in recognition of the violent history of Columbus, Oct. 13 of this year only would be considered Indigenous People Day. CNAITUC won this proclamation after lobbying and meeting with the mayor, Cowes said. Medina-Tayac, who spearheaded the demonstration, said that although the proclamation was a solid first step towards achieving justice for indigenous people, it was truly just a symbolic move. “It doesn’t tangibly change the continuing observance of Columbus Day,” Medina-Tayac said. “What we got today was a gesture, a little wave from the mayor’s office.” Still, Medina-Tayac said given that New Haven houses a large Italian-American community along with the Knights of Columbus headquarters, he could understand why Harp limited the proclamation to one day, as opposed to making it an annual holiday as was requested in the petition circulated among the crowd. Despite the fact that the proclamation is only effective today, Cowes said it still has the potential to create further recognition of and celebration for indigenous people, suggesting to the crowd the possibility of a citywide parade next year. This event, the first annual one of its kind in the city, drew approximately 40 attendees, many of whom were indigenous people from both North and South America. For Katherine McCleary ’18, part of the Chippewa Cree tribe, the large presence of people from both continents was both surprising and encouraging. Pablo Barrera GRD ’20 said he appreciated that the event pushed for both a “proper” historical context of Columbus Day’s origins and a better understanding of the indigenous cultures the holiday truly

Sunday’s demonstration not only protested against Columbus Day, but also aimed to raise awareness of immigration issues in the country today. attempts to celebrate. “Rather than a false narrative, get to a real one,” Barrera said in an interview with the News. The event linked Yale groups such as the Association of Native Americans at Yale and the American Indian Science and Engineering Society to community organizations like CNAITUC and ULA. Participants and organizers used the demonstration not only to protest Columbus Day, but also to call for action on immigration issues in the U.S., as well as on human rights atrocities in Mexico and Colombia. ULA volunteer Luis G. Luna said that in order for indigenous people to move forward, they needed to recognize historical struggles such as the colonization of indigenous peoples by oppressors. “Everything is interconnected,”

Luna said. “We use this space to acknowledge our past.” The event emphasized the theme of unity — Medina-Tayac urged strangers in the crowd to get to know each other, while the Blue Feather Drum Group initiated a round dance, where all participants joined together in a circle. “We are all related,” MedinaTayac said at the closing of the event. Medina-Tayac also noted that a number of events will be organized on campus today by the ANAAY to educate Yalies on Columbus Day and Indigenous People’s Day. Two percent of Yale students identify as American Indian or Alaska Native. Contact MICHELLE LIU at michelle.liu@yale.edu .

from MIT’s hackathon. Zheng said she hopes that the Yale hackathon can foster similar developments to that at MIT, with winning teams moving on to make their projects a reality. Ayesha Khalid, one of the founders of MIT Hacking Medicine, said that the school’s hackathon has been the inspiration for the creation of a number of businesses. She cited PillPack, a company that delivers prepackaged daily medicine regiments to patients — a service especially important for those on multiple medications and the elderly — as an example. In contrast to MIT’s hackathon program, which is run solely by students, Yale’s brought together a pre-existing infrastructure of faculty mentors, center directors and science and engineering resources, Khalid said. Zheng and Etemad agreed that they would like to engage a larger community in next year’s health hackathon. Zheng said the organizers had to turn away about 60 people from the greater Connecticut area, including University of Connecticut students and employees of local biotechnology companies, because they did not have CEID access. Access to the center was one of the hackathon’s participation requirements. The event consisted of three stages. First, over 40 problem pitches were delivered to participants on Friday evening. The pitches, which had to be less than one minute in length, ranged from children with diabetes unwilling to test their blood sugar levels to the cost and effort cancer patients have to incur to get a second medical opinion. In the second stage, participants broke into smaller teams on to choose and deliberate on their problems. Finally, participants created prototypes of inventions in the CEID, working with the Center’s engineering resources. They then presented their solutions in front of a panel of judges

at the School of Management. One of the groups, Team BestCare, tried to tackle the expenses, time and effort cancer patients have to endure to get a second medical opinion. With Team BestCare’s iPhone app — which places the patient’s information, condition status and insurance provider into an algorithm — they can find the closest and most accessible doctor who will also accept their insurance provider. The app would also transfer patients’ medical records between their various health care providers. Meanwhile, the winning team created a new instrument for noninvasive stent removal. After kidney transplants, patients have a stint placed in their bladder. When stints are later removed, patients find themselves undergoing uncomfortable and often expensive procedures. Team NISE’s invention, a surgical device three times smaller than the one currently used, would significantly decrease discomfort for patients and cut the procedure’s costs in half. Another group, in response to children’s aversion to daily blood sugar tests, invented a diabetes meter that doubles as a video game. Isgüven, whose project focused on detecting Alzheimer’s disease through continued temperature monitoring, said she was happy about the diversity of participants and loved working in the CEID on actually hacking. “We were lucky to have input from practicing physicians and other health care providers as they shared their experience and directed us toward areas that they knew would benefit from solutions,” she said. “I guess that’s the importance on the global scale, the problems we tackled were real-world and universal problems that required a holistic approach.” The hackathon was hosted by InnovateHealth Yale and CBIT.

Passenger pigeons commemorated BY STEPHANIE ROGERS STAFF REPORTER The Yale Symphony Orchestra has shared the stage with renowned performers like Yo-Yo Ma. But until Saturday night the YSO had yet to share the stage with a pigeon. The YSO’s performance, which honored the extinct passenger pigeon, was the culminating event to the daylong symposium “Extinction: Biology, Culture and Our Futures” hosted by the Franke Program in Sciences and Humanities. Attended by over 50 people in the Whitney Humanities Center, the symposium was inspired by the 100th anniversary of the extinction of the passenger pigeon. Six experts in various fields spoke on the topic of extinction, incorporating into the discussion history, comparative literature and the way we talk about extinction. “I hope that people see that there is a real conversation going on between the sciences and humanities on the topic of extinction,” said Justin Eichenlaub, assistant director of the Franke Program. “There are actual moments where humanists can help scientists and social scientists see the stakes of what is hap-

pening with these issues and vice versa.” The idea behind the Franke Program is to bring people together from different fields and expand otherwise limited discussions beyond disciplinary boundaries, Eichenlaub added. The talks featured historians, linguists, evolutionary biologists, researchers and even comparative literature experts. The symposium’s culminating event underscored the Program’s cross-disciplinary aim. Over 90 members of the YSO performed The Columbiad, 19th-century composer Phillip Anthony Heinrich’s musical interpretation of the passenger pigeon migration. The piece ranges from resembling the bird’s thunder-like flapping to the cooing of the doves in their nightly repose. On stage with the orchestra stood a passenger pigeon specimen provided by the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History. The YSO performance was the North American premiere of the piece and the first time the piece has been played in more than 150 years. In one of the event’s speeches, “Catastrophic Thinking: Extinction and the Value of Diversity,” David Seposki, a research scholar

from the Max Planck Institute of Science in Germany, explained how ideas surrounding extinction have changed over time. Before the advent of Darwinism, people denied the existence of mass extinction. But during the Darwin era, the conversation changed, and scientists began to accept extinction. Still, they viewed it only as a natural occurrence, refusing to believe it had anything to do with human actions. Then the passenger pigeon went extinct, and it “revolutionized” the way society thought about extinction, said Ben Novak, lead researcher at the Long Now Foundation — an organization that is working to reverse the extinction of the passenger pigeon. Tali Perelman ’17 attended both the symposium and the YSO concert after reading about passenger pigeons in her environmental history class. “I was really struck by Novak’s assertion that human history is tied so closely to the passenger pigeon history” Perelman said. “I think the YSO performance really reinforced that, making what could have been just dry facts into a really intimate, really comprehensive presentation.” Novak’s talk focused on the

Beinecke displays children’s books BY AMANDA BUCKINGHAM STAFF REPORTER Between the Gutenberg Bible and the Canterbury Tales, the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library now has increased its holdings of a different kind of treasure — characters from children’s books. Announced this fall, the Beinecke is now in possession of the works of children’s author and illustrator Mo Willems. The archive consists of all of Willems’ published work up to 2012, as well as some of his drafts, notebooks, toys and games. Future acquisitions will include later works and materials dating from Willems’ time at Sesame Street, prior to the launch of his publishing career in children’s literature. “[The archive is] mostly notebooks, sketchbooks, ideas, drafts — anything I will no longer use,” Willems said. “The idea is to see the work develop — [the Beinecke] will become a repository for the work as it changes.” At the archive’s heart are notebooks featuring drawings and ideas related to Willems’ main characters — Pigeon, Knuffle Bunny, Elephant and Piggie. There are several manuscript “dummy” books for Elephant and Piggie and sketches for some of Willems’ earliest comics. The archive also includes the different translations of many of Willems’ published works. Curator of Modern Books and Manuscripts Tim Young said one of the highlights of the archive are the three Rickshaw sketchbooks. After Willems graduated from college, he

spent a year traveling abroad and documented his journey by drawing one cartoon every day. “It shows him, for a year, working on his drawings and developing a style,” Young said. Young said the archive is the first of many shipments of Willems’ work the Beinecke will receive. The Beinecke will contact Willems every five years to initiate the process of acquiring more of the author’s works and drafts he will no longer use.

The idea is to see the work develop — [the Beinecke] will become a repository for the work as it changes. MO WILLEMS Author and illustrator Hosea Baskin ’90, who is the proprietor of Cumberland Rare Books and facilitated the acquisition, said the group of works Beinecke has acquired is substantial. But what is most important about the acquisition is that it begins an ongoing relationship between Willems and the Beinecke, he said. Plans for the acquisition began a few years ago. Baskin, who lives in the same neighborhood as Willems, knew of the Beinecke’s impressive collection of children’s literature. Willems said he wanted to find a home for some of his drafts and finished works and liked the idea of the

The Beinecke and Mo Willems consider new acquisitions every five years.

papers being in one place. “The Beinecke is very clear about only wanting dead materials — they only want the stuff that is completely done with,” Baskin said. “Once a book is published and the drafts, manuscripts and sketches are sitting in a drawer, the Beinecke is a better place for them.” Young said he was interested in obtaining more contemporary, archival materials to complement the Beinecke’s mostly historical collection of children’s literature. Though the Beinecke typically acquires archives of authors who are already in the latter part of their career, Baskin said this was too great an opportunity to miss. The archive arrived at the Beinecke in 2012. Afterwards, it was catalogued and prepared for use in research. Young said news of the acquisition was delayed until this fall to complement Willems’ return from a yearlong trip to Paris. Both Young and Baskin said the significance of the archive is farreaching, as it reveals both Willems’ merit as an author and his creative process. “Mo has had a meteoric rise in the world of children’s literature — in just over a decade, he has created three pretty iconic series of books,” Baskin said. Young said Willems writes books that credit the intelligence of children. Chief Curator and founding Director of the Carle Museum of Picture Book Art Nick Clark said that for example, Willems’ first book — “Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!” — gives children the authority to tell the pigeon what to do. Baskin said Willems’ books and drawings appear simple, but they are thoroughly crafted. His “dummy manuscripts,” he added, exhibit the steps of the creative process. “Mo would first make a handdrawn book, where he really worked out the narrative, the flow, the humor and the pacing,” Baskin said. “They’re such a wonderful insight into his working process — to see how the leap gets made from the idea to the book.” English lecturer Michele Stepto said this new resource provides Yale students with an insight into the creative process of contemporary authors and illustrators. “I’m looking forward to discovering what connections people make with my work that I haven’t even realized,” Willems said. Willems began his career on Sesame Street in 1993.

lived. Professor of English at UCLA Ursula Heise spoke about how extinction is represented in literature and whether the narratives surrounding extinction should be changed. “The problem is that a lot of these [extinction] stories are stuck in a template of mourning and loss. There may be other ways

of talking about natural change,” Heise said. “You have to be careful about only telling decline stories.” Martha, the world’s last passenger pigeon — named after the American matriarch Martha Washington — died in 1914 in the Cincinnati Zoo at the age of 29.

Students slow to test Ibiza’s replacement BY KELSI CAYWOOD CONTRIBUTING REPORTER Despite its prominent placement near the Yale Center for British Art, Olea — a Spanish and Mediterranean restaurant — remains relatively unknown to Yale undergraduates two months after its opening. Olea opened in late August at 39 High St., where local favorite Ibiza had operated for over 15 years. The restaurant closed in the Spring due to a dispute between the landlord and restaurant owners Sonia and Ignacio Blanco, the New Haven Independent reported in March. Although Olea is now operating under the same chef and much of the same staff as Ibiza, Manuel Romero — chef of both Ibiza and Olea — told the News in an August interview that he wanted to “break away from traditional dishes.” According to an email from Olea management, most of the restaurant’s customers on weekdays are Yale students, faculty, staff or other affiliates. But most students interviewed were not even familiar with the new restaurant. Of 17 undergraduates surveyed, five were familiar with Ibiza while only three of those surveyed knew of Olea, and only one had eaten at Olea. Despite Romero’s proposed change in menu, student customers familiar with the change of names said they have not experienced a drastically different dining experience from Ibiza. “It will be the same type of cuisine and not groundbreaking like something in New York City,” said Earl Lee ’15, coeditor in chief of the Yale Epicurean, an undergraduate publication about food. Han-ah Sumner ’18 visited the restaurant last weekend with her parents and noted the high quality of the service and the complimentary dishes. This past weekend, Olea offered a special Family Weekend menu tailored to those visiting campus and looking for a special meal. Student foodies recognize Olea as filling a unique niche. “Olea, just as Ibiza was, is one of the

best restaurants in New Haven within their price range,” said Lucas Sin ’15, co-editor of the Epicurean along with Lee. “The food is well executed and the profiles are unique to the establishment.” Lee echoed Sin’s sentiments but identified other “finer dining experiences” including Zinc, Heirloom and 116 Crown as potential competitors to Olea in the upcoming months. Other students mentioned Barcelona and Briq as rounding out the roster of restaurants appealing to the same audience by offering a high-end dining experience close to campus.

Olea, just as Ibiza was, is one of the best restaurants in New Haven within their price range. The food is well-executed and the profiles are unique to the establishment. Lucas Sin ’15 Students remarked that Barcelona, located next to the Omni Hotel, has similar offerings to Olea’s Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine options and also offers a larger venue and renowned ambiance. But Romero said in August that he was not worried about potential competition and not interested in his competitors’ prices of ingredients. Olea’s marketing material notes that its new name is from a genus of about 40 species, including the olive, in the family Oleaceae, native to temperate and tropical regions of Europe, Africa, Asia and Australasia. Olea’s hours are Monday to Thursday from 5—9:30 p.m. It is open Friday and Saturday from 5—10 p.m. Contact KELSI CAYWOOD at kelsi.caywood@yale.edu .

FROM THE FRONT

“It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.” ALBERT EINSTEIN PHYSICIST AND PHILOSOPHER

ITS still searching for root of Thursday crash ITS FROM PAGE 1 Peters said that last week’s server failure was particularly notable since it was a “hard” crash, meaning there was no way to smoothly shut down the system after the power went out. He said that while some sites could be restarted, others, such as Classes*v2, were entirely disabled and as a result had to be rebuilt rather than simply migrated to the alternate server on West Campus. Yale’s primary server is located on 300 George St., and after both backup systems in place — an uninterrupted power supply and diesel generators — failed to kick in, ITS was forced to reroute servers to an alternate location on West Campus. However, as of Saturday morning, Peters said all functions had returned to the George Street location. When asked whether George Street would remain the primary site of server function, Peters said West Campus would continue to serve as the back up. Still, he noted ITS will continue to consider alternatives to reduce the risk of similar glitches or errors from occurring. “We are looking to increase the diversity of power supply into the data center,” he added. The timing of the power failure was particularly inconvenient timing on Thursday night as students and faculty found themselves unable to access Yale sites in the midst of midterm season. As a result of the data failure, students and faculty have begun to reevaluate the nature of their dependency on Yale network systems. Of 14 students interviewed, 10 said the power outage interfered with their ability to complete work and the other four did not use Yale systems that evening. Samuel Sussman ’16 said he had a problem set due the following morning and was unable to access Classes*v2 to complete his assignment. He said he was

fortunately able to receive the instructions from a friend in the class, but feared that the outcome would have been different if he were taking a smaller class or was not able to reach anyone. Zong Xuan ’18 said he faced a similar difficulty since he was unable to access a lab report posted on the shared platform. Like Sussman, he relied upon a friend to share a copy that had been locally saved prior to the system failure. When asked how the incident may change his technology habits in the future, Xuan said he will look to download more assignments in advance. Christian Probst ’16 said the computer failure almost caused him to miss a deadline for an essay. “My computer broke yesterday, so I emailed some files to Yale email,” he said. “Luckily I was able

This is the first time this has really happened in my Yale experience. AMELIA NIERENBERG ’18 to access some files on my phone, but otherwise I would not have been able to do it.” Still, some students were not particularly troubled by the crashed websites. April Wen ’17 said she was not affected by the power failure since the assignment she was working on did not require access to the central server. Amelia Nierenberg ’18 similarly was unharmed. “It honestly didn’t have an impact because I wasn’t doing homework at the time,” Nierenberg said. “This is the first time this has really happened in my Yale experience and this sort of technology failures are really forgivable.” Some departments even

sought unconventional solutions, often reaching out directly to students when email was restored the following morning. In an email to senior history majors, the department’s undergraduate registrar Essie LuckyBarros wrote that the deadline for depositing research plans had been extended until Monday due to the site crash. Peters said he was aware of communications within the Yale College Dean’s Office and among faculty regarding the impact it had on students. However, he said he did not have specific knowledge of actions taken within the departments. Still, some students hoped for better communication from Yale administration and staff during the window of time in which servers were down. “I think it would have been nice to get information directly from [ITS],” Artem Osherov ’17 said. “If they just sent out a mass blast saying they expected for it to take a certain amount of time, people could have gone to sleep or [gotten] other work done, rather than simply waiting.” Osherov said one lesson the computer failures taught students was the importance of completing work in advance. He added that this type of computer problem is exactly what professors warn against when they urge students to not wait until the last minute. When asked what students should do to prepare for the potential of a similar problem, Peters offered a similar solution. “The best thing to do … is to ensure that you have a copy of your syllabus, any assignments with due dates you have in your own personal calendars, and [my] last bit of advice is to communicate with your faculty during those times and ask for assistance,” Peters said. A recent unplanned network outage occurred on Aug. 22, lasting from 7:07 a.m. to 11:36 a.m.

Armory may include city storage space, solar panels ARMORY FROM PAGE 1

ISAAC STANLEY-BECKER/CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER

Proposals from City Hall could transform the Goffe Street Armory into a solar-paneled storage space for city records.

campus at 280 Goffe St., has stood empty since the National Guard vacated it in 2009. The state transferred ownership of the building to the city in 2012 — a shift of responsibilities that spurred a debate over which party would pay for repairs. That year, the Armory was in serious need of repair, as the accumulated weight of snow tore a hole in the roof in the winter of 2011, causing significant flooding. That issue has still not been entirely resolved, and a prime objective of this new project is to repair the roof in an effort to make the Armory fully useable once more. The proposed use of the armory as a storage space aligns with a general trend in New Haven’s government, according to Giovanni Zinn ’05, a city engineer. “We have a lot of different storage spaces in the city,” he said. “In the short term, we can use that as a simple storage space.” Ward 18 Alder Salvatore DeCola also emphasized that using the Armory as a storage facility could save the city a significant sum. Indeed, in an interview with the New Haven Independent, William Macmullen, a city engineer, said the plan will save the city $600,000 per year — the money currently spent on leasing storage space for documents. Zinn said that the construction of solar panels on the newly repaired roof will also produce benefits for New Haven. “It’s a 15-year agreement where we pay a set rate per kilowatt hour produced, and we don’t pay for any of the capital,” Zinn said. The city government will provide a private company the rights to build on the Armory’s roof in exchange for a 15-year commitment to buy solar energy at a fixed price from the company. This arrangement would produce “significant cost savings” for the city, according to Zinn. “It’s a win-win for everybody,” Zinn said. “Private capital goes up and public entities save money.” Zinn added that the project incentivizes the use of energy sources with a low environmental impact. Zinn said that the Zero Emission Renewable Energy Credits program, signed into law by Governor Dannel Malloy in July 2011, has incentivized many municipal

authorities to pursue solar power. Under this program, Connecticut Light and Power and United Illuminating, the two electric utility companies in the state, must enter into contracts amounting in total to $8 million with firms producing sources of zero-emission energy, such as solar power, wind turbines and hydro generators. While the city has presented its short-term plans for the armory, its long-term goals for the armory remain unclear. One proposal is the conversion of the armory into a community center, a cause championed by Ward 28 Alder Claudette Robinson-Thorpe since the National Guard vacated the building. Robinson-Thorpe and former alder Bitsie Clark proposed in 2010 that the Armory be converted into a community center for the Dixwell neighborhood, possibly as a replacement for Q House. They envisioned a “one-stop” center, with a diverse array of programs all concentrated in one place. Ward 1 Alder Sarah Eidelson ’12, who chairs the Aldermanic Youth Services Committee, supported Robinson-Thorpe’s proposal as a step towards creating a network of community centers in the Elm City. It is unclear whether a community center could fill out the entire space in the armory building. “When they threw that out there with respect to the armory becoming a teen center, that was one of just many things, since the building is so big,” said Jeanette Morrison, alder for Ward 22. New Haven’s problems with the Armory are not unique — old industrial warehouses vex municipalities across Connecticut. The Goffe Street Firehouse and old Winchester Arms industrial complex both raise similar issues in New Haven. In Stratford, the debate over the refurbishment of the vacant Army Engine Plant has raged for 20 years, and Bridgeport faced the same problem with the remnants of the Remington Arms Factory. Currently, the Armory is being used as a venue for temporary artistic exhibits in the annual CityWide Open Studios festival, similar to use of the Seventh Regiment Armory in New York City.

Eldo Kim charged in bomb threat

T H E D A I LY PRINCETONIAN

U. adds firm to lawsuit BY CHITRA MARTI

BRYAN LI/THE HARVARD CRIMSON

Eldo Kim, left, exits the federal courthouse in december after he has been released on bail awaiting further trial BY CRIMSON NEWS STAFF Eldo Kim, the Harvard College sophomore who threatened to bomb four campus buildings last December, was charged Friday with emailing bomb threats to the Harvard University Police Department, The Harvard Crimson and two Harvard officials. The U.S. Attorney asked Friday that the court defer prosecuting Kim for 18 months, while he takes part in a pretrial diversion program. Under the diversionary agreement, Kim will be confined to his home for four months, will have to complete 750 hours of community service and will have to pay restitution to the law enforcement agencies active in responding to his bomb threats. The agreement also stipulates that Kim will have to make a public apology.

The Probation Department and Pretrial Services O f f i ce will oversee Kim’s diversion proHARVARD gram. If the court signs off on the agreement and Kim meets its terms, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said that it plans to dismiss all charges. If Kim does not, the office will initiate criminal prosecution. Kim, 21, was previously charged by complaint in December; he has been under supervision since then, pending a trial. Allison D. Burroughs, Kim’s lawyer, wrote in an email Friday evening that Kim was “relieved” at not having to face felony conviction, and that he is “fully prepared” to meet the requirements of the agreement.

Burroughs added that Kim was “deeply remorseful” about what he had done and grateful that the U.S. Attorney’s Office “was willing to distinguish between a terrorist and a bright, sleep-deprived kid under difficult personal circumstances who made a very poor decision.” Kim did not appear in court Friday, according to Burroughs. Kim allegedly sent his threats half an hour before he was scheduled to take a final exam at 9 a.m. on Dec. 16, 2013, according to a press release from U.S. Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz’s office. The threats provoked a massive response from local, state and federal authorities, as well as the evacuation of the Science Center, Emerson, Sever and Thayer halls, the closure of Harvard Yard and the cancellation of several exams. The closures lasted for roughly five hours as HUPD, Cambridge

Police and federal law enforcement searched campus, clearing the four threatened buildings one by one. Several noon exams were also postponed or cancelled. Many students made up the affected exams in February. Kim’s threats were sent using Guerrilla Mail, a free application that generates temporary anonymous email addresses, according to an affidavit filed in December. Kim also used a free application called TOR, which generates a random anonymous IP address for temporary use that is difficult for law enforcement to trace. The affidavit aid law enforcement authorities determined that Kim had accessed TOR on the Harvard network before the email was sent. Assistant U.S. Attorney John A. Capin represented the prosecution in the case.

Princeton has brought on additional outside counsel in a discrimination lawsuit by a student who alleges that he was forced to withdraw following a PRINCETON suicide attempt. In addition to William Maderer of Saiber LLC, who has represented Princeton in the past, Princeton has hired two lawyers from the firm Arent Fox LLP — Henry Morris, Jr., and Karen Vladeck — based in Washington, D.C. Arent Fox also has offices in New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles, and had revenues of $263.5 million in 2013, according to the National Law Journal. Princeton’s current lawyers, Saiber LLC, filed a motion for admission — called pro hac vice — for Arent Fox, moving that, although Morris and Vladeck are not currently licensed in New Jersey, they should be allowed to participate in this case in the New Jersey District Court. The motion was made without the defendant’s consent, and he is allowed to deny the request if he so wishes. In an interview, the student said he hopes to block Arent Fox from participating in the case. The student has so far participated in the lawsuit anonymously. Morris, a partner at Arent Fox, specializes in litigating employment, labor and education law cases, according to his profile on the firm’s website. He has also worked on breach of contract cases and often represents clients in the education industry or government entities. Vladeck, an associate of the firm, often represents clients in mediations and agency proceedings, as well as in state and federal court litigation. She advises employers in complying with federal and state discipline and discharge decisions, and has experience in fair housing litigation and defending employers against allegations of discrimination, according to her profile. In the case, a student alleges that he was forced to withdraw from Princeton following a suicide attempt. He lists seven administrators and Princeton in his complaint as defendants in the case. Among his causes of action are claims involving the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Rehabilitation Act and the Fair Housing Act, as well as breaches of contract, which Princeton is currently seeking to dismiss.

Divest Coal expands goals under new name BY HANNAH KERMAN One year after the Corporation voted not to divest Brown’s endowment from the country’s 15 biggest coal companies, the Brown Divest Coal Campaign is redoubling its efforts, changing its name to Fossil Free Brown and altering its mission to divesting from the top 200 fossil fuel companies in the world. Divestment from fossil fuels has always been part of the group’s broad mission, said Ryan Greene, a member of Fossil Free Brown. But in the past, group members chose to focus on divestment from coal because they hoped a more specific campaign would achieve immediate results and pave the way for future divestment from other fossil fuels, he said. When the Corporation’s “no vote” on divestment from coal was made public last October, the group decided that “it made more sense to ask for what we really wanted,” Greene said. This summer, Greene and five other undergraduates helped plan the group’s transition toward tackling a broader issue. “Given the urgency of the problem and the reality of it, it makes much more sense to expand our ask to all fossil fuels,” said Camila Bustos, another member of Fossil Free Brown. “This is a new campaign with a lot of membership that overlaps with the last one and a lot of history that overlaps with the last one,” Greene said. While divestment is a finan-

BROWN

cial action, g r o u p members assert that the movement is more about social justice than

money. “My goal is that the Brown community critically engages with the question of climate change as a social justice issue,” Bustos said. “The people in the group fundamentally see the fossil fuel industry as exacerbating and perpetuating social inequity,” Greene said. Since the semester began, the group has focused on creating a community in which new members are kept up to speed on the history of the campaign and feel their voices are heard. In focusing on fossil fuels, the movement at Brown aligns with campaigns at campuses across the country. “In a lot of ways the action being taken on our campus ties directly to movements on other campuses in other cities,” Greene said, citing the 400 campuses pledged to the Fossil Free campaign. “Of the many factors that went into our decision, one of them was being in solidarity with a national movement, internationally, all over the world,” said Cameron Johnson, who has been involved with the movement since the beginning of last year. He added that this

Fossil Free Brown joins 400 other campuses nationally and internationally in promoting divestment from top fossil fuel companies. solidarity creates a “collective power.” Several other institutions in the U.S. and abroad have recently reached decisions to divest. On Wednesday, Glasgow University in Scotland became the first European institution to divest from fossil fuels, marking a victory for the Glasgow University Climate Action Society, multiple news outlets reported.

Last May, Stanford University’s Board of Trustees concluded the university would not make direct investments in coal mining companies following a campaign by Fossil Free Stanford, according to a Stanford press release. “From alums to faculty to students, so many people I’ve talked to are severely disappointed” by the Corporation’s

decision against divestment, Greene said. But while group members were disheartened by the Corporation’s decision not to divest, “there were a lot of victories,” he added. Corporation members were forced to consider climate change and how Brown is implicated, Green said, adding that the group also perceived an outpouring of support from indi-

viduals both inside and outside the Brown community. Several group members expressed excitement that the Undergraduate Council of Students has included a question on this year’s undergraduate fall poll about support for divestment from coal. “This is a big chance for people to interact with the issue,” Johnson said.

Dartmouth spoils perfection again FOOTBALL

Yale shut out on the road BY HOPE ALLCHIN CONTRIBUTING REPORTER Despite a promising win against Bryant last week, the Bulldogs fell 4–0 to Maine on Saturday, registering just one first-half shot and only six shots all game.

FIELD HOCKEY Yale (2–9, 0–3 Ivy) was shut out by the Black Bears (8–6, 2–0 America East), even with the positive momentum following the Elis’ first win in seven matches. “All in all, Maine was a strong opponent,” back Noelle Villa ’16 said. “We stepped up in the first half and stuck to our game plan, but ultimately needed to capitalize [on] the 70 minutes we had.” In this matchup, however,

Yale did not take advantage of its opportunities. Maine outshot the Bulldogs 21–6, with the Bulldogs staying in the game thanks to goalkeeper Heather Schlesier ’15, who recorded eight saves. This was the seventh straight game in which Schlesier stopped at least five shots. Three of the Elis’ shots were by midfielder Carol Middough ’18, who also leads the team in goals this season. Yale also had just one penalty corner, compared to Maine’s seven. The game remained scoreless for the first 26 minutes until the Black Bears’ Annabelle Hamilton took advantage of a loose ball in the circle and scored the first goal. Hamilton was honored as an SEE FIELD HOCKEY PAGE B3

Captain Deon Randall ’15 grabbed nine passes for 106 yards, his third 100-yard game of the season. BY JAMES BADAS AND MAYA SWEEDLER STAFF REPORTER AND CONTRIBUTING REPORTER A year after Dartmouth blemished the Yale football team’s record with a fourth quarter touchdown, the Bulldogs seemed destined to write a new ending this weekend. Things were different from a year ago: Yale hosted instead of Dartmouth, quarterback Morgan Roberts ’16 was under center after the graduation of Henry Furman ’14 and the Yale offense entered play as the most proficient scoring attack in all of Division I football.

Yet much to the dismay of the Elis, the result remained the same. Dartmouth (3–1, 2–0 Ivy) left the Yale Bowl the victors yet again, overcoming an early twopossession deficit and leaving the Bulldogs (3–1, 1–1 Ivy) down in the dumps following the 38–31 loss. “It was a battle,” Yale head coach Tony Reno said. “They’re a good team — they’re a very good football team — and we had a chance to put them away, but we didn’t do it today.” Ultimately, the Elis lost because Dartmouth quarterback Dalyn Williams proved hard to stop, putting up over 400

yards of total offense. Typically known for his legs, the dualthreat signal caller set a career-high with 388 yards on 32 completions. Though Dartmouth managed just 46 rushing yards on 31 carries for a measly 1.5 yards per attempt, the Big Green’s passing attack gave the Bulldogs’ secondary trouble all afternoon. “We have a lot of respect for that team, for their offense,” Yale cornerback Spencer Rymiszewski ’17 said. “[Williams] made some crucial plays at crucial times.” For much of the game, it looked as if the SEE FOOTBALL PAGE B3

Elis dominate thanks to doubles success BY KATIE SABIN CONTRIBUTING REPORTER The Yale women’s tennis team made the most of its home court advantage this weekend at the Bulldog Invitational, posting an impressive 24–11 record over the three-day tournament.

WOMEN’S TENNIS The Bulldogs hosted Brown, Dartmouth, Pittsburgh, William & Mary and Rutgers at their first home event of the season, and much of their success was due to an impressive performance in doubles play. “I’m really pleased with our team’s effort this weekend,” head coach Taka Bertrand said. “There’s a lot of room for improvement, but this weekend gave us an opportunity to test what we’ve been working on against high quality competition.” The Elis excelled in doubles play this weekend, with a combined record of 11–1. The team emerged undefeated in doubles play against both Pittsburgh and Rutgers. Captain Hanna Yu ’15 and doubles partner Ree Ree

Li ’16 set the tone in their first match of the weekend with a comfortable 8–3 win over the Pitt pair of Audrey Ann Blakely and Lolande Ogungbesan. The only doubles loss all weekend came when Yu and Li lost 8–5 to a pair from William & Mary on Saturday. “We are still trying to figure out the players who mesh well together,” Yu said. “We have been mixing it up and this weekend we definitely had a couple of good pairings.” The success in doubles continued throughout the invitational, with Valerie Shklover ’18 and Madeleine Hamilton ’16 playing an extremely competitive match against their Pitt opponents. In a back-and-forth event, they finally overcame the Panthers in a tiebreaker, winning 8–7(6). The tandem of Shklover and Hamilton faced a similar situation against William & Mary on Saturday, and the duo fought and won its second tiebreaker of the weekend, finishing the match 8–7(4). Yu noted that members of the freshman class had strong performances in doubles at the

tournament. Caroline Lynch ’17 and Sunday Swett ’18 defeated a pair from Brown while another impressive win came from the pair of Courtney Amos ’16 and Elizabeth Zordani ’18, who overcame a Rutgers duo 8–2. “We had to deal with a lot of different variables this weekend,” Zordani said. “But the team had great energy, we were able to support each other, and I think that’s why doubles play was so successful.” The Bulldogs carried the momentum from doubles into singles play. On the opening day of the tournament, the team went 5–3 against Pitt in singles. After a strong performance in doubles, Yu and Hamilton won straight-set victories over their Pitt opponents. Finke defeated her competitor with an easy 6–2, 6–0 victory, while Amos swept over her challenger 6–0, 6–3. Meanwhile, Swett, in her collegiate debut, won a tense threeset match against Pitt’s Amanda Wickam. She came from behind to post a 2–6, 7–6(11), 6–4 victory.

The Princeton game marks the end of a month-long road stretch in which the Bulldogs went 4–1 in conference play and 7–4 overall, with the only conference loss a narrow defeat to Harvard. Both players and coaches expressed happiness at being able to return home for the next few matches.

Setter Kelly Johnson ’16 had 71 combined assists against Penn and Princeton, 46 more than she had all season before Friday.

Hugh Danilack iced Dartmouth’s win with a fourth score, crashing the net and forcing what proved to be the final tally of the night. Goalkeeper Blake Brown ’15 notched four saves, an impressive statistic given that the Bulldogs were outshot 14–3 and allowed four corner kicks. The struggling Elis will be forced to turn around quickly this week, with a non-conference matchup scheduled against Temple on Tuesday. With little rest and no momentum, the game will pose a challenge for a Yale team that is still searching for its first win. Though scoring has improved

recently for the Elis, with two goals in their last three games, they have not netted more than once in a single game. With five straight losses, Yale will look to right the ship against a Temple (2–8–2, 1–2–1 American Athletic Conference) squad that has struggled to put games away. With a 0–4–1 record on the road, Temple may prove Yale’s best opportunity of the season to finally secure a win. Furthermore, like most stumbling teams, Temple’s scoring is far from balanced. The Owls rely heavily on four key offensive players, which could afford a usually sound Eli defense the ability to shut down Temple’s goal producing options. “Everyone is itching to play on

Tuesday and make a statement after a game [versus Dartmouth] that we certainly didn’t deserve to lose by three goals,” Iselin said. The game against Temple kicks off at 7 p.m. on Tuesday at Reese Stadium. Contact MARC CUGNON at marc.cugnon@yale.edu .

Wilcox ’15 shines in scoreless tie W SOCCER FROM PAGE B4 one of which came just three minutes into play. Dartmouth came out with a total of six shots in the first half, and the Big Green defense all but shut down the Bulldogs, who only came away with one shot in 45 minutes. After the referee reversed an own goal by Dartmouth, forward Melissa Gavin ’15 was given a penalty kick immediately after. But the ball just missed the net. Gavin’s attempt was the last shot by either team in the first half, which did not go the way the Elis wanted. A halftime talk, however, helped them turn up the intensity. “We weren’t happy with the way we played in the first half, as we came out kind of sluggish and played with no confidence,” Gavin said. “We talked about it at halftime and came out in the second half playing with a lot more heart and getting a lot more chances.” The Bulldogs did capitalize on chances throughout the rest of regulation and overtime, though Dartmouth kept the pressure on and outshot the Elis seven to two in the second half. Wilcox kept up her remarkable performance with four more saves in the latter half of the game. Gavin added that Wilcox’s performance was the fuel the team used to fight back against the Big Green, and that she was the team MVP of the game. Paula Hagopian ’16 took the only shot on goal in the second half for Yale. The shot came about ten minutes into the half, but Big Green goalkeeper Tatiana Saunders managed to block it. After 90 minutes of play, the score remained tied at zero and the game went to overtime. The extra periods proved to be an even stronger showing

for Yale’s defense. The Elis shut down the Dartmouth offense, which only took two shots in the first overtime period. Yale finally managed to outshoot the Big Green with Gavin, defender Hannah Coy ’18 and forward Georgiana Wagemann ’15 taking shots. Wagemann’s was the only shot on goal for the Bulldogs in the first overtime. The second overtime was less eventful with only two shots total, one by Gavin that missed the goal and one from Dartmouth that Wilcox saved yet again. After 10 minutes, the score remained 0–0 and both teams earned one point in the Ivy League standings. With two straight games of fantastic showings by the defense, the Bulldogs are pleased with their performance on that side of the field. “The defense has been very solid which is very encouraging. But that’s only half the battle. The defense can only earn one out of the three points we can get for each game,” Wilcox said. Gavin added that, offensively, the Elis have to take advantage of the chances they get, and they have to play more urgently in situations where a goal is needed to seal the lead. The Bulldogs will head to Central Connecticut State tonight for their final away non-conference game of the season. Play begins at 7 p.m. Contact SYDNEY GLOVER at sydney.glover@yale.edu .

Fourth quarter comeback dooms Yale FOOTBALL FROM PAGE B1 Bulldogs might extend their perfect record to 4–0. On a dreary New Haven day, neither the chilly weather nor the Big Green defense could cool down the redhot Bulldogs’ offense early on. Yale’s first three drives down the field resulted in three touchdowns, something Yale supporters have gotten used to this season. Coming into the game, the Bulldogs averaged 51.3 points per game as well a staggering 631 yards per contest. In comparison, Dartmouth entered Saturday averaging just 326 total yards per game. Against the Big Green, Roberts picked up where he left off in last week’s game versus Cornell, scoring twice on the ground and once through the air and orchestrating a 21–7 Yale advantage that would turn out to be the largest lead of the game for either squad. “It does burn a little more [after such a quick start],” Reno said. “The burn that I feel, [that] the kids feel right now is going to help us continue to improve.” The turning point Saturday may not have been the 14–0 third quarter scoring advantage for Dartmouth that converted a 10-point deficit at halftime into a three-point lead entering the final quarter. Instead, it may have come on Yale’s fourth drive of the game. Looking to drive down the field once more and potentially give themselves a three-possession lead, the Bulldogs got in their own way. Facing a second-andsix from the Yale 24-yard line, Roberts dropped back and connected with wide receiver Grant Wallace ’15 for a gain of 10 yards, good enough for a first down. However, referees called the play back due to two Yale penalties on the toss and catch. Rather than a first-and-10 at the Yale 34-yard line, the Bulldogs dealt with a second-and-21 inside their own 10. Yale was unable to overcome

the down and distance and was forced to punt. However, the kick from punter Brian Holmes ’17 was fielded by Dartmouth wide receiver Ryan McManus at his own 40-yard line. McManus benefited from some timely blocking and raced into the end zone untouched for a 60-yard score. The return not only cut Yale’s lead in half — it also jump-started McManus’s day. “[McManus] is strong, so that vertical game, he’s able to go up and make that play up in the air and not get moved off of settled routes,” Reno said. “We knew that he was a really good player; he’s towards the top of the league, and he made a couple more plays than we did.” McManus had a career day at the Yale Bowl, concluding with a dozen catches for 188 yards. He leapfrogged Wallace as the Ivy League’s No. 2 wide receiver in receiving yards per game at 91.2 per game, only behind Yale’s Deon Randall ’15, who has notched 115.2 receiving yards per game. Randall compiled a respectable nine receptions for 106 yards, but the story on offense was the plays Yale was unable to make. The top offense in the nation was limited to just seven second-half points and was outscored 31–10 to close the game. “Obviously the first three games [Yale] has had a ton of success and we knew it’d be a huge challenge coming in,” Dartmouth free safety Stephen Dazzo said. “[The Bulldogs] are explosive in all facets of their offense. [In the second half], they got a little bit predictable on third and fourth downs so we definitely made some changes there in our coverage schemes and it worked out for us.” Roberts still threw for 302 yards through the air but completed just 13 of 21 second-half passes with two costly interceptions. Despite three total intercep-

tions, Roberts still had an opportunity to lead the Bulldogs to victory on their final drive of the day. Following Williams’s fourth touchdown — which put the Big Green ahead by seven with just 2:20 to play — the Bulldogs took over at their own 19-yard line. The possession started off with a flurry, as Roberts completed five straight passes including a 16-yard strike to thirdstring tight end Leo Haenni ’17, who had a breakout game for the Elis after increased playing time due to the injuries of tight ends Stephen Buric ’16 and Sebastian Little ’16. “Leo, I thought, did a great job stepping into [his] role,” Reno said of the tight end and his four receptions for 97 yards. “We got a lot of good guys on the team, and he made some great plays out of his opportunity.” With less than two minutes to play and positioned at Dartmouth’s 37-yard line, Roberts missed on a pass to running back Tyler Varga ’15 on first-and-10. Two incompletions later, the Bulldogs found themselves facing a do-or-die fourth-and-10. Roberts sought out his No. 1 option, Randall, over the middle of the field, but the dynamic duo could not connect, effectively sealing the Big Green’s comeback. The Bulldogs will have a chance to refocus and regroup with a non-conference matchup this Saturday when they host Colgate (4–2, 2–0 Patriot). Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. Contact JAMES BADAS at james.badas@yale.edu and MAYA SWEEDLER at maya.sweedler@yale.edu .

Shutout loss for Bulldogs

Elis record successful invitational W. TENNIS FROM PAGE B1 successful on Saturday in singles competition. Although Yale participated in eight singles matches on the second day of the tournament, only Yu, Finke and Shklover were able to pull out wins. “We still have a lot to work on,” Yu said. “We got a chance to see what we need to do in order to be successful in our upcoming tournaments.” Despite the losses on Saturday, the Bulldogs finished strong against Rutgers on the last day of competition. They won all but two singles matches against the Scarlet Knights.

Amos and Li both fought through three-set matches, but were unable to secure wins for the Elis. Swett finished her highly successful debut weekend with a 7–5, 6–1 victory over her Rutgers competitor. “Overall, it was a good weekend,” Bertrand said. “Now we have some momentum heading into the Regional tournament this coming weekend.” The Bulldogs will host the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Regional Tournament beginning this Thursday, Oct. 16.

Against Maine, the Bulldogs were shut out for the third time in four games. FIELD HOCKEY FROM PAGE B1 third-team All-American player last season. “Maine is a strong team,” back Kiwi Comizio ’18 said. “We were able to play very well in the first half, but we definitely could’ve come out stronger in the second half.” Despite coming back after intermission down by only a single goal, Yale gave up two goals in quick succession as Maine scored twice in a 53-second span. Maine’s Katie Bingle then notched the final goal of the game in the last minute of play. Yale has had trouble scoring of late. In the last five games, the Elis have not scored in the second half, and they have not scored more than one goal in a game since an overtime loss against Boston University on Sept. 21. The Bulldogs’ last three losses have also been shutouts. Despite the inability to score, the Bull-

dogs have been improving, according to players. “I think we improved many areas of our game from Bryant to Maine and will continue to do so as we move forward in the season,” Comizio said. The Black Bears are second in their conference and will return to conference play this weekend. Maine’s winning streak has increased to six games, a remarkable turnaround from the five straight losses the team had earlier this season. Meanwhile, Yale has changed its focus toward the games to come. “We’re taking this week at practice to focus on strong fundamentals and high support and communication,” Villa said. The team will play Dartmouth this coming Saturday and Connecticut on Sunday. Yale is the only team in the Ivy League with fewer goals this season than Dartmouth, with just 10 goals compared to 22 on the season for the Big Green.

Connecticut, last year’s NCAA national champions, are currently on a three-game winning streak after, defeating Boston University 2–1 in a penalty shootout last night. “As far as this coming weekend, we’re excited to get back to Ivy League play,” forward Jessie Accurso ’15 said. “We’re looking to capitalize on our opportunities in the circle.” The Elis will travel north to face the Big Green on Saturday, starting at 2 p.m. Contact HOPE ALLCHIN at hope.allchin@yale.edu .

“I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.” MICHAEL JORDAN SIX-TIME NBA CHAMPION

Back-to-back clean sweeps for Yale BY ALEX WALKER CONTRIBUTING REPORTER The Yale volleyball team extended its Ivy conference winning streak this weekend, beating both Penn and Princeton on the road to move into a tie for first place in the Ancient Eight.

VOLLEYBALL On Friday, the Elis (8–6, 4–1 Ivy) faced off against the Quakers (5–11, 2–3 Ivy) in Philadelphia and came away with a clean sweep. The Bulldogs hit .243 to Penn’s .138 and the team managed five aces on the night as well. Captain Mollie Rogers ’15 led the Elis, posting one of seven double-doubles this season on Friday with 18 kills and 20 digs. “On the whole, this weekend was really great for us,” Rogers said. “To cap off the five weeks of road trips with two victories is really huge for us.” The Bulldogs recorded a decisive win in the first set, finishing with a nine-point margin of victory and never once falling behind the Quakers. In the next set, they overcame a three-point deficit late in the game, during which they tied with Princeton 15 times, to win 27–25. The Bulldogs then maintained the lead throughout the final game, which ended 25-17. Head coach Erin Appleman said that although the Elis were missing a player due to injury, the team pulled together to come up with two good victories away from home. In the game against Princeton (9–6, 4–1 Ivy) on Saturday, Yale handed the Tigers their first conference loss in a 3–0 sweep. The match highlighted setter Kelly Johnson’s ’16 passing abilities, as she contributed 34 assists. Rogers, who posted another double-double with 14 kills and 11 digs, emphasized the importance of the Bulldogs’ passing game, saying the team has been working on it in practice. Yale managed to hit .327, compared to Princeton’s .124 on the night. The Bulldogs also delivered seven aces, while the Tigers had just one. Middle blocker Maya Midzik ’16 was a strong contributor to the team’s success with 11 kills and a hit percentage of .476. SEE VOLLEYBALL PAGE B2

Elis lose fifth consecutive match

Bulldogs record another scoreless tie BY SYDNEY GLOVER CONTRIBUTING REPORTER In the third conference game of the season, the Yale women’s soccer team tied Dartmouth at zero in a double overtime match — an identical outcome to the Elis’ game against Harvard a week ago.

WOMEN’S SOCCER After the tie against Dartmouth, the Bulldogs (5–3–2, 0–1–2 Ivy) have been put in a difficult but workable position for the conference title. They currently stand five points behind Harvard and Princeton, who are tied for first in the

league, with just four conference games remaining. “The tie against Dartmouth didn’t leave us in the most advantageous position for the Ivy League title, but it is still very possible,” goalkeeper Rachel Ames ’16 said. “The team just needs to continue to play with intensity and heart as we finish out the season.” Yale’s defense had another outstanding showing by shutting out Dartmouth. The Big Green has the secondhighest average of shots per game in the league at 14.9. Its offense gave the Elis a tough contest from the start, with starting goalkeeper Elise Wilcox ’15 making four saves in the first half alone, SEE WOMEN’S SOCCER PAGE B2

Goalkeeper Blake Brown ’15 stopped four shots against Dartmouth. BY MARC CUGNON STAFF REPORTER In its second Ivy contest of the season, Yale matched up against a red-hot Dartmouth, winners of six straight matches and possible title contenders for the Ancient Eight crown. And just as they have in every game this season, the Elis fell short.

MEN’S SOCCER In a victory characteristic of Dartmouth’s current form, the Big Green (7–2–1, 2–0–0 Ivy) dominated the Bulldogs (0–8–2, 0–2–0 Ivy) in a 4–1 thrashing.

In the first 45 minutes, Yale looked primed for an upset. After Alex Adelabu netted an early goal for Dartmouth only four minutes into the game, Yale fired back with a score of its own when defensive midfielder Ollie Iselin ’18 took advantage of a defensive lapse and scored an unassisted goal in the 11th minute to draw the match level. “It was great to see Ollie Iselin get on the score sheet for us, and I think going forward we’re going to focus on creating more and more chances on the attack and becoming more dangerous,” forward Keith Bond ’16 said. Both teams failed to find the back of the goal for the rest of the first

half. After 45 minutes, the Elis and Big Green went into the locker rooms knotted at one. It was the second half that would prove Yale’s undoing, as sloppy mistakes and a predatory Dartmouth offense opened up a scoring levee. In the 59th minute, Dartmouth’s Jonathan Nirenberg took advantage of a bouncing deflected shot to put the Big Green ahead. Proving to be quite the nuisance for the Eli defense, Nirenberg completed his brace just four minutes later with a 25-yard strike that put the game out of Yale’s reach.
