    The serendipitous discovery o

    a million-year-old gully on Mars

    by Samuel Schon GS may indicate

    that water was present on the

    Red Planet more recently than re-

    searchers previously thought.

    Funded by NASA, the research

    was published in the current is-

    sue o Geology, an inuential

    earth sciences journal. Images

    rom HiRISE the High Resolu-

    tion Imaging Science Experiment

    were analyzed and provided

    key photos o gullies scattered

    throughout Mars. Schon, along

    with Postdoctoral Research As-

    sociate Caleb Fassett and Proes-

    sor o Geological Sciences James

    Head, sited through the data and

    ound a gully located in eastern

    Promethei Terra which they

    were able to date to 1.25 million

    years ago.

    Schon said he and his col-

    leagues had not set out to fnd

    this specifc gully.Its a lot o geologic good

    luck, Schon said. The team

    simply stumbled upon the gully,

    which was probably created by

    the accumulation o melted water

    that originated rom ice depos-

    its nearby. The original crater

    is thought to be the result o a

    high-impact meteor crash.

    Using a technique that in-

    volved measuring the requency

    and size o craters and the bound-

    ary o the gully, Schon said he and

    his team were able to pinpoint the

    date o origin o the site.

    According to the study, the

    gully is located in a crater and

    consists o multiple lobes the

    components o the gullys depo-

    Though the new online ticketing

    system or Spring Weekend was

    met with mixed reviews rom stu-

    dents, organizers are pleased with

    sales thus ar, a representative rom

    Brown Student Agency said yes-

    terday.

    Matt Garza 11, who designed the

    ticketing Web site with Erik Naza-

    renko 11, said that while he has

    received some e-mail complaintsabout the service, the general re-

    sponse rom the student body has

    been positive.

    Tickets or the Fri., April 17 and

    Sat., April 18 concerts were made

    available eclusively to Brown stu-

    dents at 8:00 a.m. Monday. There

    were 1,000 logins within the frst

    minute o the site opening, Garza

    said, and at press time, ewer than

    200 o the 3,000 available tickets

    remained or each perormance.

    Garza said the site market.

    brownstudentagencies.com

    provided a much more eective

    way or students to obtain tickets

    than the conventional box ofcesystem.

    No one had to wake up early to

    get in line or miss class, he said,

    adding, Students didnt have to

    leave their dorm rooms. They were

    able to use their credit cards, and it

    was a much easier eperience.

    Most o the complaints Garza

    received were about the limited

    number o ticket packages or both

    Friday and Saturdays shows. The

    packages sold or $25, while sepa-

    rate tickets cost $15 each. Many stu-

    dents wanted to purchase packages

    to save $5, Garza said, but by 8:04

    a.m. they had sold out.

    Garza said there has always

    been a limit on the number o dis-

    counted packages sold, and that this

    year several hundred packageswere available.

    While the number o packages

    oered was reduced slightly rom

    last year, the extra money earned by

    Brown Concert Agency rom indi-

    vidual sales will go toward provid-

    ing discounted tickets to students

    with demonstrated fnancial need,

    Garza said.

    When Lizette Chaparro 12 tried

    purchasing tickets at 8:00 this morn-

    ing, she received a message that

    read Web site could not be ound.

    Ater multiple attempts at reresh-

    ing the page, Chaparro discovered

    that the packages were sold out.

    She ended up buying two individualtickets one or her and one or a

    riend or Saturday aternoons

    concert.

    Students walking around campus

    might encounter two frst-year girlswho look shockingly similar. Even

    though their hairstyles are dierent,

    people oten do a double take when

    they meet Heather and Carly Arison

    12 twin sisters rom Ohio who ar-

    rived on College Hill last all.

    People either reak out, or they

    dont realize were twins, Heather

    said.

    Having a twin sibling at the same

    school has its benefts, said Alicia

    Hartley 10.

    It was like having a built-in riend,

    said Alicia, whose twin sister Ale is

    also her teammate on the womens

    rugby squad and a ellow residential

    community assistant. We didnt have

    the same nervousness when we frst

    arrived here, Ale said.

    Ross Marino 12 emphasized the

    importance o simply having someone

    who already knew him well. Right

    o the bat, I had a riend, someone I

    knew, he said.

    Ross and his brother Alexander

    both participate in Tae Kwon Do and

    take two classes together, in econom-

    ics and contemporary art. Ross said

    he also fnds it helpul to have a study

    partner.

    But how did two siblings get into

    a school whose acceptance rate hit a

    low o 13.3 percent last year?

    We dont have a policy about

    twins, but in most cases we admit or

    deny them admission together, wrote

    Though mononucleosis, a commonviral disease, seems to have aected

    many on campus this semester, the

    number o ailing students is consis-

    tent with past years.

    Tor Clark, physician assistant at

    Health Services, said the number

    o cases o mono on campus has

    remained about the same as be-ore.

    Clark said he actually asked a

    couple other providers i they had

    experienced an increase in cases,

    and they didnt think so. He added

    that the number o students with

    mono is maybe somewhat more

    in the winter, but its pretty steadythroughout the year.

    Mono is probably less conta-

    gious than a typical cold, Clark

    said, adding that saliva spread is

    the riskiest o direct contact.

    Caused by the Epstein-Barr vi-

    rus, mononucleosis spreads through

    saliva and is sometimes called kiss-

    ing disease, according to a National

    Institutes o Health Web site. Com-

    mon symptoms include ever, sore

    throat, swollen lymph glands and, in

    some cases, a swollen spleen.

    Clark said inected students

    should avoid consuming alcohol,

    sharing cups and kissing. They mustalso avoid contact sports that are

    likely to hurt the spleen, which tends

    to be very sensitive and tender dur-

    ing the period o inection.

    As or recovery time, theres

    no specifc amount that everyone

    needs, Clark said, adding that ew

    people are so severely sick that they

    cannot attend classes or pursue their

    other day-to-day activities.

    Chelsea Macco 11, who has been

    struggling with mono or well over a

    month, said that when she frst got

    a cold she went to Health Services,

    only to be told that she would get

    better soon.

    But the ollowing week, she hadto go to Health Services again

    this time almost in tears because

    her throat hurt every time she tried

    to eat.

    Like Macco, Matthew Balatbat

    11, who recently recovered, said

    the symptoms o inection were hard

    to deal with.

    The worst part o (getting mono)

    was my throat hurting and my glands

    being huge, he said. That lasted or

    about a week.

    The students interviewed said

    they were unsure as to how they

    contracted the disease.

    CMS wS This will help s become one of the best medical schools inthe contry. Edward Win, dean of medical and bioloical sciencesM

    dents and postgraduate trainees

    by providing a large educational

    component through new masters

    and Ph.D. tracks in clinical and

    translational sciences, said James

    Padbury, a proessor o pediatrics

    who is one o the leaders o the

    original proposal or the center.

    The center will also serve as an

    absolutely mandatory academic

    home or spending a Clinical and

    Translational Science Award a

    National Institutes o Health grant

    worth up to $25 million over a fve-

    year period that the University

    plans to apply or in October, hesaid.

    The center is going to be a

    clearinghouse a networking

    agency, a research center, Pad-

    bury said.

    Members o the Universitys Di-

    vision o Biology and Medicine are

    hoping the new center will anchor

    a successul application and und

    this eciting research, he added.

    Proessor o Medicine Timo-

    thy Flanigan also helped drat the

    proposal, which was approved at a

    aculty meeting last week.

    Translational science has al-

    ready achieved some success in

    the medical world. For example,

    Padbury said, scientists have con-

    ducted research on cellular trans-

    port to increase understanding o

    ovarian cancer. Medical practitio-

    ners have been able to use new

    techniques rom the research to

    provide improved cancer therapy

    or patients.

    Given the extraordinary

    advancements in medicine, it is

    important to accelerate the pace

    o those advances into clinical prac-

    tice, Padbury said.

    The approved proposal is a cul-

    mination o planning eorts that

    stemmed rom an NIH Clinical

    and Translational Sciences AwardPlanning Grant that the University

    received in September 2006.

    The new center, whose adminis-

    trative home will likely be in Arnold

    Laboratory, will be unded in part

    by BioMed, Wing said. The rest o

    the unding will come rom grants,

    donations and the endowment. But

    Wing said the current fnancial situ-

    ation has orced BioMed like

    many University branches to

    cut back on the budget or the next

    fscal year, putting a damper on

    many eisting plans.

    We have to be very careul

    where were going to put our re-sources, Wing said. But we cant

    just pull back.

    This is one o the areas that I

    eel so strongly about, he added,

    that this will help us become one

    o the best medical schools in the

    country.

    In addition to increasing the

    Medical Schools prestige, Wing

    said the award will also provide

    money to invest in grants or new

    aculty projects and new laborato-

    ries, such as a genomics laboratory

    and a statistical core to assist the

    centers researchers.

    The clinical aculty and the hos-

    pitals are very enthusiastic, Wingsaid. Its a real opportunity even in

    this time o fnancial constraint.

    Nancy Thompson, associate

    dean o graduate and postdoctoral

    training and a member o the cen-

    ters executive committee, said the

    center will provide a way to connect

    people in the medical community

    who may not necessarily come

    across one another.

    Its very exciting because it has

    the inrastructure and means to

    nurture these collaborations and

    provide a basis that will move ideas

    orward, she said.

    wrote in an e-mail to The Herald,

    beore adding I guess it is Spring

    Weekend, ater all.

    Anthony Urena 12 also woke up

    early to purchase tickets, but ound

    that it took orever to authenticate

    his login and even longer to reach

    the checkout page, he wrote in an

    e-mail to The Herald.

    I set out to buy a package, but

    due to the long loading times and

    the Web sites request o personal

    inormation, the package was sold

    out, he wrote.

    Urena added that he was scared

    that separate tickets would sell out

    just as quickly, and ended up buy-

    ing $15 tickets or both Friday and

    Saturdays perormances.

    Despite the rush, Garza said

    there were no technical difcul-

    ties with the Web site, and the prob-

    lems students had logging on were

    most likely the result o the crowded

    Brown network not that the ticket

    site couldnt handle the trafc.

    Garza also said that though the

    time stamp on receipts read an hour

    earlier than the transactions actually

    took place, the site was not active

    at 7:00 a.m. as some students are

    questioning.

    The site is not on an automatic

    timer, he said, adding, We were in

    complete control. I physically clicked

    (to open sales) at 8:00 a.m.

    Even with the sporadic com-

    plaints and student concerns, or-

    ganizers were nonetheless pleased

    with the system.

    Were still very excited that stu-

    dents were able to do this online,

    Garza said.

    And students saw the bright side

    o the situation too.

    Urena wrote that despite

    the diiculties he encountered

    with the Web site, It sure beats

    waiting on long lines in this

    terrible weather.

    With 1:23 let on the clock and the

    score tied 11-11, mens lacrosse captain

    Jack Walsh 09 scored a quick-stick

    goal o a eed rom captain Kyle Hol-

    lingsworth 09, securing a 12-11 victory

    or the No. 15 mens lacrosse team (3-

    1) over No. 18 Denver this Sunday.

    The win was Browns second o

    the weekend, ollowing a 7-3 victory

    on Friday aternoon against Quin-

    nipiac.

    The frst challenge going into the

    weekend was to play two games in

    three days at a high level. The second

    challenge we aced was more o an

    emotional one, reected Head CoachLars Tiany 90. We were coming o

    o two ourth-quarter breakdowns,

    surviving with a one-goal win against

    Lehigh, and giving up a fve-goal lead

    in the ourth quarter, only to lose to

    Hostra by one. So the emotional chal-

    lenge may have been more critical.

    bw 7, q 3

    On attack against Quinnipiac, An-

    drew Feinberg 11 and Hollingsworth

    combined or fve goals and an assist,

    while captain Jordan Burke 09 made

    10 saves in the net.

    Ater an early goal by Quinnipiac

    less than fve minutes into the game,

    Brown built momentum with three

    unanswered goals o its own. Fein-

    berg had the frst goal o the series o

    a quick pass rom deenseman Jake

    Hardy 10, then Thomas Muldoon 10

    and Hollingsworth each netted a goal,

    giving the Bears a 3-1 lead at the end

    o the frst quarter.

    The Quinnipiac deense, and goalieKevin Benzing, stymied the Bears in

    the second quarter, and with just over

    a minute let to play, the Bobcats cut

    Browns lead to just one goal.

    Hollingsworth posted his second

    goal o the game, the only goal o the

    third quarter, to secure a two-goal lead

    going into the fnal quarter.

    The Bears dominated the ourth

    quarter, quickly cushioning their score

    with three goals in the frst thirteen

    minutes or a 7-2 lead. O the three

    goals, Feinberg had two, and Nic Bell

    09 the third.

    We have to give a lot o credit

    to their goalie he was simply out-standing, Tiany said. We have an

    inexperienced deense, and limiting

    them to three goals was certainly a

    step in the right direction, as we defne

    who were going to be at that end o

    the feld.

    bw 12, dv 11

    The transition to play Denver, a

    top-twenty program, with one day o

    rest was certainly an obstacle. But the

    Bears proved resilient, capitalizing on

    six o eight extra-man situations to pull

    out the 12-11 win.

    Feinberg again had three goals

    and added three assists, coupling with

    Brady Williams 09, who netted threemore goals. Hollingsworth supported

    the attack with our assists, and a goal

    o his own, while Burke was strong

    in the net or the Bears, tallying ten

    saves.

    The Bears dominated rom the

    start, as Feinberg put away two goals

    and Reade Seligmann 09 added athird or a 3-0 lead only fve minutes

    in. However, the Pioneers retaliated

    with three goals o their own, leav-

    ing the score tied with 5:48 let in the

    frst quarter. Williams answered with

    his frst o three goals, and Jimmy

    Wittpenn 11 secured a 5-3 lead or

    the Bears, scoring o a one-on-one

    drive.

    The second quarter went into a

    lull with a series o turnovers, missed

    shots, and strong deense rom both

    teams. Late in the hal, Seligmann

    ed the ball to Williams on the crease

    or another goal, but Denver scored

    shortly aterwards to end the hal witha 6-4 lead or the Bears.

    The Pioneers opened the second

    hal with three unanswered goals

    to gain a 7-6 lead, but the Bears an-

    swered with two o their own in the

    closing minutes o the third, when Hol-

    lingsworth assisted goals by Feinberg

    and Hardy.

    Denver scored two goals to take a

    9-8 lead early in the ourth quarter, but

    Williams third goal o the game tied

    it up and Hollingsworths frst goal

    on the day gave Brown a 10-9 lead.

    Burke made two key saves to keep

    Brown in control, but with 6:30 let, the

    Pioneers tied the game at 10. Walsh

    answered with an impressve goal oa eed rom Feinberg, as he grabbed

    and fred the ball while alling to the

    ground in ront o the crease, to get

    the lead back with six minutes let. At

    4:23, the Pioneers tied it up again, but

    Walshs game-winning goal with just

    over a minute remaining put Brown

    back on top.

    I thought we maintained our com-

    posure in the ourth quarter, and some

    guys really stepped up and had great

    plays, Walsh said. Kyle made an awe-

    some pass at the end. And the crowd

    made a big dierence it was great

    to have that support.

    Denver gained possession o the

    ball with 32 seconds let in the game,

    but Burke came up with a crucial save,locking up the victory.

    Ater the game, Williams said the

    main dierence between this Sundays

    victory and last seasons 11-8 loss to

    the Pioneers was the teams ability to

    remain poised and capitalized on our

    etra man opportunities.

    Last year Denver pressured us

    early and took us out o our game, but

    yesterday we ocused on playing our

    game and did not worry about them,

    Williams said.

    Looking orward to next Satur-

    day, when the Bears will ace UMass-

    Amherst, Tiany said the Bears will

    need to shore up their deense.

    Right now were allowing too

    many good shots and too many creaseshots to be taken on Jordan, he said.

    We need to be tougher in ront o

    Jordan. This will be a big test against

    UMasss outstanding attack unit

    this weekend.

    to dey history. They went in justtrying to extend their season and

    end 5th-seeded Harvards. All signs

    suggested that wouldnt happen.

    A 12-seed had never deeated

    a 5-seed since the current ormat

    o the tournament began in 2003.

    Brown (7-21-5, 5-15-4 ECAC) hadnt

    won back-to-back games in over a

    year, and Harvard (9-16-6, 9-7-6

    ECAC Hockey) hadnt been shut

    out at home in consecutive games

    in 111 years.

    All streaks end sometime.

    In a best-o-three-game series

    that only needed two contests, the

    Bears stunned Harvard. In 86 shots

    over two games, the Crimson didntscore once on goalie Mike Clem-

    ente 12.

    Nobody really expected this,

    said Harvard captain Brian McCa-

    erty. But thats why they play the

    games I guess.

    bw 1, Hv 0

    Coming into Friday nights game,

    Clemente had never posted a shut-

    out in his young career at Brown

    and orward Harr y Zolnierczyk 11

    hadnt scored a goal in two years.

    But when the fnal buzzer sounded,

    Clemente was a perect 39 or 39 in

    goal, and Zolnierczyk had scored

    the games only goal.

    Harvard goalie Ryan Carroll

    stayed even with Clemente in the

    frst period, stopping all seven shots

    he aced. Harvard maintained a 13-7

    shot advantage in the scoreless frst

    period. The Crimsons six-game un-

    beaten streak looked like it was in

    danger when the Bears came out

    with the frst six shots o the second

    period. But Carroll denied every

    shot, and the Crimson regained an

    11-10 shot advantage by the end o

    the rame.

    The fnal period was 15-5 or Har-

    vard on the shot charts, but 1-0 or

    Brown on the scoreboard.

    Just over three minutes into the

    third, Browns ourth line produced

    the games only goal. David Brown-

    schidle 11 shot a backhand rom

    close in on Carroll. Carroll denied

    the shot, but couldnt corral the re-

    bound. Zolnierczyk slapped the wild

    puck into the back o the net or the

    games only goal.

    I thought the ourth line was

    tremendous, said Browns Head

    Coach Roger Grillo.

    Harvard put the pressure on Cle-

    mente in the fnal minutes Carroll

    let the net with 46 seconds let on

    the clock, giving the Crimson an

    etra attacker.

    But Clemente, playing in his

    frst collegiate postseason game,

    embraced the pressure.

    Its un, he said. When youre

    a little kid, you want to be in a 1-0 or

    2-0 playo game where your team

    needs you.

    With the man advantage, Har-

    vard fred shot ater shot on Clem-

    ente. Doug Rogers shot two one-tim-

    ers the frst o which Clemente

    pushed aside and the second owhich sailed wide.

    The rebounds kept coming out to

    Harvard, and Crimson assistant cap-

    tain Alex Biega got the fnal chance.

    He wound up rom the right point

    and sent a rocket at the goal, but

    Clemente maintained his shutout

    with his 39th stop o the night.

    bw 2, Hv 0

    The Bears showed no signs o

    slowing down on Saturday, as Cle-

    mente blanked the Crimson again

    with a career-high 47 saves.

    I dont think Ive ever had back-

    to-back shutouts at any level, Cle-

    mente said.

    Eric Slais 09 and assistant cap-

    tain Aaron Volpatti 10 gave Cle-

    mente some insurance, scoring a

    goal apiece, both o which were

    assisted by assistant captain Matt

    Vokes 09.

    Unlike Friday night, Clemente

    didnt have to deend the goal with

    a blank scoreboard or long. Less

    than three minutes ater the puck

    dropped, Vokes, skating along the

    let boards, spotted Slais cutting

    rom center ice to the let ace-o

    circle, with only one deender stand-

    The wrestling team fnished o

    its season with three ourth-place fnishes in the consolation

    bracket at the Eastern Intercol-

    legiate Wrestling Association

    Championships at Penn this past

    weekend. Many wrestlers lost

    their opening matches and ought

    their way back into contention in

    the wrestle-back bracket, includ-

    ing co-captain Matt Gevelinger

    09, who qualifed or the NCAA

    National Championships, which

    will take place March 19 to 21 in

    St. Louis.

    Our expectation was to have

    as many place winners as pos-

    sible, Gevelinger said. We all

    battled and had a lot o pride in

    what we were doing we never

    quit.

    Gevelinger, the No. 6 seed at

    184 pounds, received a frst-round

    bye, but ell short in the second

    round, 11-3, to 3rd-seeded Justin

    Kerber o Cornell. He bounced

    back with three straight wins,

    wrestling back into the third-

    place match, where his day ended

    with a 10-2 loss to 2nd-seeded

    Ivy League oe Louis Caputo o

    Harvard.

    Beore the regional competi-

    tion this week, each weight class

    had a predetermined number o

    spots in the NCAA champion-

    ships. Gevelinger ound him-

    sel in the elite group o our

    184-pound wrestlers rom the

    region who will make their wayto the Gateway City in search o a

    national title. Gevelinger returns

    to nationals or the second year

    in a row and hopes to come away

    with more than his guaranteed

    two matches.

    I had the goal o going back

    Id been working or it all sea-

    son, Gevelinger said. I have to

    be mentally prepared, and above

    all, believe in mysel.

    Branden Stearns 09, wres-

    tling at 197 pounds, came out o

    nowhere to claim ourth place

    in the consolation bracket as an

    unranked wrestler. He lost his

    opening match, 7-5, to Armys1st-seeded Richard Starks, but

    stormed back and rattled o

    three wins o his own entering

    the third-place match. He lost

    a hard-ought fnal match, 5-3,

    to 8th-seeded Lou Miller o Co-

    lumbia, and narrowly missed

    the cut or nationals, as only the

    top two fnishers at 197 pounds

    moved on.

    Stearns resilience came as no

    surprise to Gevelinger.

    The great thing about wres-

    tling is that in this tournament,

    Mens lacrosse won twice last weekend, beatin Denver 12-11 with a last-min-te oal from Jack Walsh 09, assisted by Kyle Hollinsworth 09 (above).

    anything can happen, Gevelinger

    said. It all comes down to thesematches.

    Seventh-seeded Greg Einrank

    10, wrestling at 125 pounds, did

    not wrestle until the second

    round and came up short in his

    frst match as 2nd-seeded Penns

    Rollie Peterkin recorded an 18-1

    technical all at the 6:28 mark. He

    won three consecutive matches in

    the wrestle-back bracket to reach

    the third-place match against 3rd-

    seeded Derek Reber o Bucknell.

    Einrank could not fnish o Re-

    ber, alling 6-2 and claiming ourth

    place. Einrank ell one spot shorto making his frst trip to nation-

    als, as the top three places pro-

    ceed on in competition.

    Both Stearns and Einrank are

    hoping their names will be called

    when the NCAA announces 52

    wildcard berths on Wednesday.

    Bryan Tracy 10 at 157 pounds

    and 6th-seeded Zach Zdrada 09 at

    heavyweight both won their frst

    match o the day, but could not

    stay in the winners bracket. Each

    wrestler lost their next match and

    fnished the day 1-2.

    Ross Baldwin 09 (133 pounds),Stephen DeLorenzo 10 (141

    pounds), David Foxen 11 (149

    pounds) and Je Lemmer 12

    (165 pounds) all lost their open-

    ing matches and could not muster

    up another win to advance in the

    double-elimination tournament.

    We had trained all season or

    this one meet, Gevelinger said.

    I wish we could have placed fve

    or si guys.

    ing between Slais and the goalie.To be honest with you, I dont

    know how I got around the guy,

    Slais said. Im not the astest

    skater.

    But Slais lowered his head, pow-

    ered orward and came up on Car-

    roll all alone, then backhanded the

    puck through the fve-hole to put

    Brown up, 1-0.

    Harvard controlled the rest

    o the period, gaining a 15-8 shot

    advantage. The Crimson got their

    closest chance when Captain Jimmy

    Fraser fred a wrist-shot on a two-

    on-one break. The puck hit the top

    right post, ricocheted across thegoal to the let post and bounced

    out.

    Despite the bounce-out, the siren

    lit up as Fraser hoisted his stick in

    the air. But ater a reeree huddle,

    the striped shirts ruled that the puck

    had not crossed the goal line plane,

    preserving Browns 1-0 lead.

    The call looked like it was go-

    ing to be crucial ater neither team

    scored in the second period, and it

    remained a one-goal game.

    But the Bears made it a two-goal

    game just under three and a hal

    minutes into the fnal rame, when

    Volpatti managed to get a shot out

    o a cluster in the slot in ront o

    Harvards goal.

    Carroll let Harvards net with

    2:14 let in avor o an extra attacker.

    The Crimson got a two-man advan-tage when Slais was whistled or

    hooking with less than two minutes

    on the clock.

    Despite the si-on-our attacker

    advantage, Harvard couldnt fnd

    the back o the net. The Crimson

    took the last 11 shots o the game,

    but Clemente stopped them all,

    bringing his total to 47 saves.

    Their goalie was seeing the

    puck well, said Harvard Head

    Coach Ted Donato, shaking his

    head. He was incredible.

    With 4.8 seconds let on the

    clock, the whistle blew, stopping

    time once more. The small contin-gent o Brown ans, wearing team

    jerseys, stood up and began clap-

    ping. They didnt stop until ater the

    buzzer, while the Bears slapped each

    other on the helmets and jumped up

    and down in a huddle.

    Theres just a good eeling in

    the locker room right now, and it

    hasnt been there or a couple o

    years, Slais said, while Clemente

    added Its kind o un to end some-

    ones season.

    The win sends Brown to New

    Haven, Conn. next weekend or

    another three-game series in the

    ECAC quarterfnals against top seed

    Yale (20-7-2, 15-5-2 ECAC Hockey),ranked No. 10 in the nation.

    Were sorry that Roba Dolce is dead and gone. It was a nice addition

    to Thayer Street, and its always sad to see a local business ounder.

    However, prime commercial real estate should not be let as a memorial,

    especially during difcult economic times, and we think theres a pretty

    natural choice to succeed Roba Dolce at 178 Angell St.: Chipotle.

    The prospect o a Thayer Street Chipotle was frst mentioned in a

    Herald article over two years ago, to the delight o many Brown students

    who became Chipotle partisans during their high school days. The

    low-cost, high calorie, highly delicious burritos are explicitly marketed

    to college students, who make up the sweet spot o the restaurants

    18-34 core demographic. So they want us, and we want them whats

    the problem?

    Mainly, the other Thayer street restaurants or, to be more specifc,

    Stonehenge Partners LLC (Johnny Rockets) and Dale Dulgarian (An-

    dreas, Gordito Burrito). Ater Chipotle attempted to move in at 2 Euclid

    St., this impromptu anti-burrito coalition fled a lawsuit alleging thatChipotles proposed outdoor seating and parking plans violated state

    zoning laws. Though the court rejected Stonehenge and Dulgarians

    claims about parking, it ruled that Chipotles outdoor seating pushed

    the building unacceptably ar away rom the sidewalk, ending the Euclid

    Street project.

    This clearly isnt the case with the ormer Roba Dolce spot. Since the

    building has operated with an outdoor seating area or some time, the

    space could accommodate Chipotles needs. Further, the act that the

    court already agreed to Chipotles o-site parking plan at the old location

    might acilitate the transition and orestall other legal challenges.

    But this tit-or-tat over arcane zoning laws obscures the most un-

    damental issue at stake in this debate: Brown students right to a good

    burrito. Were sorr y, Gordito, but or years weve been settling or sub-par

    burritos that make the Rattys usual are look appetizing by comparison.

    No more. The cruel and arbitrary denial o our right to put on that

    Freshman 15 by indulging in ood that actually tastes good cannot, in

    good conscience, be allowed to stand. Its time to put on our collectiveactivist hats and get to work. Chipotles cause must be our own.

    Narrow-mindedness: the real embarrassment

    t h e:

    Intelligently designed or not, it was a bit iron-

    ic how Tyler Rosenbaums 11 opinion piece (An

    unortunate embarrassment, March 3) was about

    how others shouldnt have opinions. Despite his at-

    tempts to protect the image o Brown, Rosenbaum

    only succeeded in illustrating the closed-mindedness

    o many students on our campus. While Rosenbaum

    is certainly entitled to his opinions, what he needs to

    understand is the act that others, including Bobby

    Jindal 91.5, are as well.

    Then again, what was I thinking? How dare Jindal

    have an opinion dierent rom relatively liberal

    Brunonian(s) such as Rosenbaum? I mean there is

    a certain truth in the notion that Brown does churn

    out individuals similar to Rosenbaum individuals

    who come to Brown expecting to be coddled and

    unchallenged intellectually. In truth, Rosenbaum is

    more conservative than his portrayal o Jindal. His

    advocacy o suppressing intellectual dialogue, on the

    grounds that the epressed opinion diers rom his

    own, reveals his unwillingness to listen and consider

    all views. In the end, isnt that what so-called liberals

    hate the most about conser vatives? Additionally, con-

    trary to Rosenbaum, I believe most people understand

    that Jindal represents only one view amongst a diverse

    spectrum o opinions present at Brown. No one person

    can truly represent Brown in its entirety.

    pinionsThe Brown Daily Herald

    It was a pretentious gathering, even or Brown

    the kind o panel discussion where each

    speaker is allotted fve minutes but takes 15 to

    20 due to ecessive hand gestures and elon-

    gated syllables. The prahhhh-cess by which

    we ooorrrr-ganize the diiiiiscipline is viiii-tally

    important.

    With a title like Scholarship in a Time o

    War: Universities, Associations and the Re-

    sponsibilities o Citizenship, maybe I was ask-

    ing or trouble, but Id like to think that there

    was potential or some enlightenment. Instead,

    I received urther confrmation that all Brownroads lead to the third oor o University Hall.

    Perhaps the most interesting panel mem-

    ber was Norm Hebert, director o the ofce o

    sponsored projects, who spoke about research

    unding at Brown. Ater emphasizing his role

    as an administrator not a scholar, Hebert

    went through a list o past research sponsor-

    ships that his ofce had considered (without

    mentioning whether or not they were accept-

    ed), including a white supremacist organiza-

    tion and the American tobacco industry.

    When I asked Hebert how he decided

    which sponsors to accept, his superior, Vice

    President or Research Clyde Briant, eplained

    that the ofce simply ollowed the guidelines

    laid out by the Corporation. But o course.

    I dont have a bone to pick with the Corpo-ration. The only reason I keep bringing them

    up is that they run this school and so I think its

    worth our eorts to understand them as best

    as possible.

    In a recent Herald column, a student who

    clearly doesnt understand the Corporation

    wrote, Corporation members are not paid or

    their eorts but attempt to maintain and im-

    prove this University o ours. They act as stu-

    dents advocates and, unlike other members o

    the community, can govern equitably because

    they dont have any fnancial interest in the

    University (A deense o the Corporation,

    Feb. 23).I think that such an attitude is a common

    one among Brown students. Ater all, it seems

    to be true. There is no monetary salary or

    Corporation members. They dont seem to

    have any fnancial interest in University ac-

    tions. But o course, as Im sure any o the bil-

    lionaire members would tell you, nothing in

    this world is ree.

    The frst and most concrete way that Corpo-

    ration members are compensated is through

    admission o their children. Finding Corpora-

    tion members with children who were accept-

    ed at Brown isnt eactly Wheres Waldo? Call

    it correlation and not causation i you want, but

    the link is undeniable. O course, Corporation

    kids arent the only ones who beneft rom pa-

    rental connections I was admitted in part be-

    cause my dad is a Brown graduate.

    Still, regardless o whether or not their chil-

    dren merited admission and indeed what it

    means to merit admission is highly conten-

    tious these students aced a lower level o

    scrutiny in their admission process than stu-dents whose parents were not directly decid-

    ing how Brown spends its money.

    The second and more benefcial way that

    Corporation members are paid is through social

    networking. In what other situation are such a di-

    verse range o wealthy and powerul people in

    felds such as fnance, medicine, law and gov-

    ernment gathered into one room?

    Members oten sit on other boards such as

    Goldman Sachs (President Simmons) and one

    has a side gig with the U.S. Treasury Depart-

    ment (Steven Rattner). U.S. Securities and E-

    change Commission Commissioner Annette

    Nazareth works alongside fnancial fgures shemay one day investigate.

    Want truly dizzying connections? Brown

    Corporation member and Princeton sociology

    proessor Marta Tienda is on the board o the

    Jacobs Foundation, the RAND Corporation,

    the Alred P. Sloan oundation, TIAA and the

    Princeton Healthcare System.

    The main point is that Corporation mem-

    bership gives one access to power and inu-

    ence in an incredible range o areas, many o

    which overlap, and those kinds o connections

    have legitimate and enormous value outside o

    Corporation meetings.

    The most salient aspect o the Corporations

    unofcial salary rom relaed admissions

    standards or their children to networking ben-

    efts is that students arent the ones paying

    it. The result is that the Corporation does not

    answer to the students it is supposed to serve.

    Which brings us to the other part o the ear-

    lier quotation: The Corporation as students

    advocates that is, a group o altruists look-

    ing out or students best interests. Conceiv-ably, i the Corporation does not answer to stu-

    dents, it might act in its own interests instead

    o ours.

    A particularly relevant case involving sel-

    interest and uture Brown trustees occurred

    less than two years ago.

    In late May 2007, billionaires Steven A. Co-

    hen and Barry Rosenstein, both managers o

    successul fnancial frms, teamed up to write

    a letter to online brokerage TD Ameritrade

    advising them to combine with either Charles

    Schwab or E*Trade. The letter accused mem-

    bers o that companys board o acting against

    the combination and thus against stockhold-er interests in order to maintain their inu-

    ence on board decisions.

    In a second letter written a ew weeks later,

    Cohen and Rosenstein insisted that leaders o

    Toronto Dominion, the TD o TD Ameritrade,

    were blocking a combination which could di-

    minish Toronto-Dominions ownership stake,

    eectively placing their own interests above

    those o the shareholders.

    At the time, one observer called the letter

    a shot across the bow at the directors, saying,

    you better pay attention to everybody, not just

    the one who put you on board.

    Pay attention to everybody? Not just the

    ones you put on the board? Sound amiliar?

    Almost eactly one year later, Cohen andRosenstein were named Corporation members

    where they, along with other members, have

    ignored calls or student representation on the

    Corporation or community approval o any o

    its decisions.

    I the Corporation doesnt answer fnancial-

    ly to the student body, why wouldnt they act

    like the TD Ameritrade board members that

    Cohen and Rosenstein were criticizing and act

    primarily in their own interests? Why are Co-

    hen and Rosenstein worried about damaging

    sel-interest on TD Ameritrades board but not

    on the Brown Corporation?

    Their letter concludes with a telling line:

    We believe that the light o day is a powerul

    asset or shareholders and we welcome the

    Boards opening o a public discussion o thesematters.

    Cohen and Rosenstein should share such

    wisdom with their ellow trustees. Advocate or

    students by letting us advocate or ourselves.

    Permit students to sit on the Corporation.

    So I was sitting in my room, as I oten do,

    trying to determine the next Brown policy

    to deconstruct and criticize. Though I have

    been a pugnacious opponent o several o this

    great Universitys policies, this time around, I

    wont be attacking a specifc policy but a state

    o aairs. Now, Ive criticized the meal plan in

    another one o my columns (The meal scam,

    Oct. 15). To my surprise, some students ound

    this column disagreeable.

    I wont deny complaints about the quality

    and availability o the ood at Brown are get-

    ting old, but that act says something about the

    inaction o the administration our voices are

    going unheard. While I would otherwise love

    to be ignored, this is not the case here.

    The greatest innovation rom Dining Ser-

    vices o late (or at all or that matter) was

    the Tastes o the World line at the Ratty. It

    added variation, maybe even a bit o cultural

    character to the lieless reectory. But pita and

    tacos can only add so much character beore

    students begin to cry out in dissatisaction.

    O course, we are fckle. Show us some

    hummus and implement a no tray policy

    and were content. But we are only content

    or a while. We need a long-term solution to

    our dissatisaction. We must realize that, as is,

    the dining halls are unprepared to meet our

    nourishment needs. So what do we do?We riot!

    Okay, maybe not. Instead, Ill now present

    an idea that is by no means original but should

    be in print: We implement the meal plan at

    o-campus retail locations. Imagine using

    Flex points at Starbucks, or meal credits at

    Au Bon Pain and East Side Pocket. Is that not

    such stu as dreams are made o?

    There are three oreseeable advantages to

    this: First, it would make meal plans less o a

    rip-o. I cranked the numbers in my previous

    column, and something doesnt add up. Not

    only are our ood options limited, but we get

    relatively little bang or our buck. I we had

    to hold the latter constant because Brown

    probably would not want to revise its meal

    plans, why not take the opportunity to easily

    improve the ormer?

    O course, there are a ew who apparently

    do not share this sentiment (as their angry

    letters will attest). I think its sae to say these

    Dining Services anatics are in the minority.

    Second, more people would be on the

    meal plan i they knew they could use theirmeal plan at o-campus eateries. Ater a ew

    years at Brown the dining options really get

    old. Accordingly, students abandon the meal

    plan or the prospect o greater ood glory

    o-campus. Under this change, the diversity

    o menu options will keep us entertained ad

    infnitum.

    Third, it would stimulate Providence busi-

    nesses. Imagine how many more customers

    o-campus retail eateries would get i students

    were not bound to Brown dining halls.

    This would consequently take an operations

    strain o the University, as dining halls would

    service ewer students daily. With Brown

    trying to be economical during Americas

    fscal crisis, this could be a step in the right

    direction.

    Naturally, one might question whether this

    change would render dining halls obsolete.

    Ater all, why go to a dining hall when you can

    eat o-campus at no detriment to you?

    Well, o-campus ood is signifcantly more

    expensive, and so that alone might be a deter-

    rent. Convenience and accessibility are otheractors. Indeed, sometimes its just easier to

    walk to the Gate than a Thayer restaurant, and

    most Thayer restaurants arent open late at

    night anyway. However, I dont see anything

    wrong with Brown putting a cap on the num-

    ber o meal credits or Flex points or combina-

    tion thereo that one can use o -campus. Im

    satisfed so long as I can spice things up even

    once in a while o-campus.

    Other universities, such as Boston Univer-

    sity, Northwestern and NYU have instituted

    systems similar to the one I am proposing. In

    act, our Ivy League schools (Harvard, Penn,

    Princeton, Yale) have done so, according to

    their respective Web sites. I think its time we

    stepped on board.

    And stepping on board would be as sim-

    ple as the University brokering a deal with

    o-campus retailers through which Brown

    monopoly money could be electronically e-

    changed or cash makes you wonder why

    we never considered it beore.

    So maybe, just maybe, when all is said and

    done, and years rom now your child asks you,

    (Father or mother), were you able to use your

    meal credits at o-campus eateries when you

    were in college? youll be able to confdently

    respond: Yes, (child name), yes.

    D f-

    We shold implement the meal plan at retail

    locations. Imaine sin Flex points at Starbcks,

    or meal credits at A Bon Pain and East Side

    Pocket. Is that not sch stff as dreams aremade of?

    The most salient aspect of the Corporations

    nofficial salary from relaxed admissions

    standards for their children to networkin benefits

    is that stdents arent the ones payin it.
