he University is solicitingideas or innovative ways to de-
velop tech nology invent ed byBrown researchers through apartnership with Allied Mind-strm, a rwd-surg wbstthat allows public thinkers tobrainstorm ideas in exchange or a
monetary reward. In its rst post-ing on the Allied Mindstorm web-site, the University sought ideasor protable uses o a paper-thinplastic battery developed in 2007by ayhas Palmore, proessor oengineering, and Hyun-Kon Song,
a ormer postdoctoral researchassat.
Allied Mindstorm was devel-
oped last all to more ecientlydiscover proitable ideas thatcould be applied to technologycoming out o universities, said
Sara oussaint, university rela-ts maagr r Ad Mds.
In the past, Allied Minds, an
equity rm that acilitates thegrowth o startup companies, didt ud rta th-gs baus t ud t thk protable applications or them,
oissant said. An open orumsuh as Ad Mdstrm awsthinkers to generate ideas that
could aid Allied Minds eorts todevelop technology companies,
sh sad.Te University began talking
with Allied Minds about several
projects they could work on to-gether when the rm became asponsor o the Universitys Lie
Sciences echnology Fair in 2011.We thought it was an interest-
ing idea, said Katherine Gordon,director o Browns echnology
Ventures Oice. We thoughtlooking or new applicationswould be really important. Brown

Danny Liu o Chengdu, Chi-
na won the contest or his ideato use the plastic battery with
carbon-based nano-coatings orconductive abrics applied to win-ter clothes and shoes in orderto provide more heat in wintermonths, especially or those indeveloping countries, accord-ing to his submission. Liu, chie

whh h wud ha a rmar.

not burden university technology
trasrs s. Tus, th AdMindstorm challenge was born.
T st aws th pub t rideas or applications to technolo-gies coming out o several univer-sities, and its only requirement isthat the thinkers have LinkedInaccounts. Aer the deadline or

Over a year ater proposingtwo technology projects to en-hance student lie, the Undergrad-
uate Council o Students recentlylaunched one o the initiatives a system that al lows graduatesto transer inormation rom their
student email accounts to alumaccounts but it is still in thebeginning stages o implementing
th sd, a systm that wud
enable students to check laundrymah aaabty .
Udr th hag, whh wasimplemented in March, gradu-ates will be able to keep all the
inormation in their Brown emailaccounts starting with the class o2011, though they will be required
to switch to alumni.brown.eduaddresses, said Michael Lin 14,
har th admsss ad stu-dent services committee o UCS.
he email transition cost the
University around $100,000, mak-ing it the Universitys largest new
aum gagmt tat the last ive years, wrote oddAndrews 83, vice president oalumni relations, in an email toh Hrad.
Under the new system, emailst studt addrsss w b r-warded to the alum emails, and
senders will receive automatic re-sponses explaining the address
has hagd, h sad.he University was concerned
that keeping Brown student emailaddresses could create conusion
or allow alums to misrepresentthemselves, but students com-plained about losing the inor-mation in their accounts atergraduatg, L sad.
It was actually a pretty con-
troversial issue, and (Computingand Inormation Services) tooka mdd pst, L sad. CISeventually decided to keep thedrt aum addrsss but ad-
justed the system so account hold-
rs had t trasr th rma-tion rom their original addresses.
Whether alums will take ad-
vantage o the extende d Brown
email services remains to be seen,Adrws wrt.
Another project UCS proposedlast spring was installing Laun-
dryVw, a systm thr gsuse to enable students to check
the availability o dorm wash-rs ad dryrs r thrughma arts.
h O Rsdta Lis currently working on a planthat would connect the laundry

I youre on the cutting edge, itw b rftd yur tahg,said Sheila Blumstein, proessor ocognitive and linguistic sciences.
She conceded the diculties o bal-ancing teaching and research es-pecially with the extra eort neededto secure research unding in the
sciences in the current economic
climate but she said the Uni-versity hires and values individualswh sk t d bth rsarh adteaching. In Te Herald aculty pollconducted last all, aculty estimat-d that thy spd abut th samamut tm tahg ad -

Prssrs may as up thtw mts a mpmtarymanner. Even in introductorycourses, proessors come acrossopportunities to talk about their
latest research and ndings, vanDam sad, ad udrgraduats th mputr s dpartmtmay incorporate research into theirstuds as ary as thr sd s-mstr at Brw.
But students are not the onlyones who benet rom the rela-tionship between teaching and
research, he said. Tough proes-sors at Brown may not be able to
compete as successully with thosecommitted to ull-time researchat research institutes, teachingand working alongside studentsa bst rsarh ad t wideas, van Dam said. eaching andresearch are two halves o the same
coin, he said. You lose some time,but you gain intelligence rom stu-dt put ad partpat.
But thr auty mmbrs b- rsarh s gag th upprhad at th Ursty. Prssrsare expected to be at the top o their
eld, said Harold Roth, proessoro religious studies, and research isbecoming increasingly important
tur dss.I would like to see a clear
message rom the administration
that th quaty tahg w bviewed on equal ooting to the sig-a ad quaty rsarh,he said. Right now, I dont eel likethats th as.
Should we attempt to compareourselves to Harvard and Princeton
a aarmgy rqut bass?h sad. Wr a drt ama.
Roth emphasized the impor-tance o the relationship betweenteaching and research, where top
researchers are present in the class-room and develop personal men-torships and relationships withstudents. Tis is rare at larger re-
search institutions and at some Ivypr ursts, h sad.
Va Dam rutd th da thatthe University pressures proessorsto prioritize research due to themr drt bts t rs wthregards to prestige. What is in rstpa? Rsarh, h sad. But at apa k Brw, tahg s rghtbhd thr.
Rather than moving the Univer-
sty away rm ts us udr-
graduate teaching, van Dam said he
believes Simmons eorts through
the Plan or Academic Enrichmentha strgthd rsarh at thUniversity in a necessary and ben-ecial way. Its been redressing thebaa th rght drt, hsad.
I dont think you come toBrown expecting to be le alone todo research in your lab, said Deano the Faculty Kevin McLaughlin
P2.But Ivo Welch, proessor o -
nance and economics at the Uni-
versity o Caliornia at Los Angelesand ormer proessor o economicsat Brown, wrote in an email to Te

erence between (the Universityo Rhode Island) and Brown, not
tahg quaty, Wh wrt. Iyou do not want Brown to com-pete with URI, but compete with
Yale, Columbia and Princeton, youneed top research that drives theknowledge that we are teaching.
I anything, Brown has too little
emphasis on research relative tots prs.
Yu at at yur ak adhave it, too, Welch wrote. Yes, un-dergrads in the short run and
most have only a our-year per-spective would be better o i allresearchers suddenly deemphasized

Amidst the discussions regarding the Universitys contributionsto Providence, we have been pleased t hat University oicials and
the general student body sti ll consider inancial aid a top priority.In act, he Herald poll conducted in March shows that nearly 40percent o students believe that President-elect Christina Paxsonshould make inancial aid a top priority. Recently, the student ad-
vocac y group Brown or Financial Aid came into t he oreground,bbyg r a gratr mmtmt t ths aus. W b thataddressing this issue is o paramount importance or anyone whotakes pride in being a Brown student, and we ully support Brownr Faa Ad.
As hghghtd by a um wrtt by mmbrs BFA astweek, the groups goals are to achieve completely need-blind admis-
s, wr th arag dbt burd by mr tha $5,000, as was increasing student voices in inancial aid and policy decisionsad mak(g) aa ad mr rsps t studt ds.hese goals, which relect a strong dose o necessary idealism witha touch o pragmatism, are ul ly compatible with th e Universitys
mission to be one o the top competitive institutions in the world.I razg ths gas, spa y ahg try d-bdadmission, the University would put itsel in a position to help

t y ds th udrgraduat bdy rprst a 50 statsad a arg sampg utrs, but t as huss studts all races, belies, political values and most importantly, socio-economic standing. Despite our dierences, we are united byone characteristic we possess a special merit that is worthy

UN negotiations unwelcoming to outsidersTo the Editor:
I am currently an undergraduate student atAmra Ursty studyg rmta s-ence and global environmental politics. I also at-
tended the Durban negotiations, and ater readingthe article about them (Climate lab reports on UNgtats, Apr 6), I t mpd t rpy. Iwas struck by the resounding optimism that wasexpressed by your contributors. I agree with SpencerFields 12, who is quoted calling the United Na-
ts Framwrk Ct Cmat C hagy-pg, thugh my p, t shd ght
onto the somewhat chaotic and unair nature otrata rmta pts.
I wonder i the Brown attendees shared my eel-ings o disappointment that most o the action
occurred behind closed doors. My own reaction toths prdamt was t sak t th hgh-meetings beore the security arrived to scan badges,since they would surely have turned away mysel asw as my prs g ur NGO status.
Ultimately, I was dismayed at the lack o inluence
most o the attendees, including many o the smallerdeveloping nations, had on the actual negotiations.Essentially, the convention was a back-and-orth
squabble between the most inluential world playersover dominance and power, which produced ew
suts. Wh J. mms Rbrts, prssr sociology and environmental studies, may consider
the talks to have been a global turning point, Iwud ha t pty dsagr.

Cr prad 0-.We just let them hang in
there, pitcher Anthony Galan 14
said. We kept walking guys, we
kept allowing a lot o baserunners. We didnt exactly pitch to win.
Game two was not as close. Te

Another blow to the Bearswas that Sheridan dislocated hisshoulder on a swing in the secondinning. Te starting center elderhad to be removed rom the gameand missed Sundays action. Galansad th tam ds t kw hwlong Sheridan will be unable to

Bruno ailed to get on the board
at all in the rst game against
