Ater much anticipation, the Brown

Concert Agency announced that

smooth-spitting rapper Snoop Dogg

and the kaleidoscopically electric

MGMT will headline this years Spring

Weekend concerts, which will also

eature Major Lazer, the Black Keys

and Wale and will take place over the

weekend o April 2325.

This year, which marks the 50th

anniversary o the Spring Weekend

concerts, BCA aimed to combine

the new as well as the old, said

James Hinton 10, the groups book-

ing chair.

The chosen acts are imbued witha certain appeal to GenY, according

to BCAs press release.

A data breach involving unauthor-

ized access to paper records o

Brown employees and their amily

members occurred in December,

and Brown ocials were notied

o the breach Jan. 5, said David

Sherry, chie inormation security

ocer.

Blue Cross Blue Shield o

Rhode Island accidentally sent

paper records o more than 500Brown employees and their amily

members to another subscriber

company and its agent, according

to Sherry.

Within 24 hours, both the com-

panies received the records and,

upon recognizing the mistake,

destroyed the records and noti-

ed Blue Cross Blue Shield, which

subsequently notied Brown, he

added.

There was no health or Social

Security inormation in the sent re-

port, Sherr y said. It only included

names, Blue Cross subscriber

numbers and charges during

the period.From what we were told

it was human error, Sherry said.

He said there was no malicious

intent or criminal activity.

Brown addressed the breach

with legal counsel, human re-

sources and Sherry, Sherry said.

This weekend, the womens basketball

team was playing or many things.

They were playing to sweep Cornell

on the season. They were playing to

upset Columbia. But perhaps the big-

gest thing the Bears were playing orthis weekend was their seniors. And in

the nal games o the season, Bruno

dominated the Big Red, 74-58, and ell

hard to the Lions, 54-41.

Friday night, the Bears (8-20, 5-9

they snapped a three-game losing

streak by claiming the victory over

Cornell (7-20, 2-12).

Lindsay Nickel 13 and Aileen

each scoring career-highs o 23 and

A Tuesday aculty orum to discussa proposal to transorm the divi-

sion o engineering to ull-fedgedschool drew about 60 proessors

and administrators, mostly rom

the sciences, and many o whom

epressed skepticism o the pro-

posal.

The most contentious part o

the discussion, which preceded

an April 6 vote on the proposal,

concerned a potentially dispropor-

the epense o other sciences.The administration does eel

that this is an important step, said

Brown would be the last Ivy

League school ater Harvard

to have an engineering school.

Browns proposal involves aculty

hires, research investment and

construction totaling $100 million.

work also helps inorm another proj-

ect: NeuroPop.

Using his extensive understandingo sound, neuroscience and balance,

Horowitz partnered with composer

Lance Massey to create NeuroPop, amusic album designed to help people

all asleep. He said he originally came

upon the idea while working at SUNY

Stony Brook with unding rom NASA,

where he tried to understand the in-

somnia problems that oten plague

astronauts in space.

Could the balance system be

driving the sleep system? Horowitz

asked himsel, since astronauts stabil-

ity changes when they go into space.

Subsequent research ound that the

human balance system is completelytied to the emotional system, he said.

Because balance is based in the ears

and vestibular system, with emotions

centered in the brain, he thought that

sound could be used to activate neural

sleep centers.

He ound that the whole curve

rom arousal to sleep has a lot o in-

put rom the balance system, and

that low requency vibrations could

infuence the vestibular system and

encourage sleep.

Horowitz asked Massey to alter

classical music according to algo-

rithms that he developed in the lab,

and upon distributing the music to

some riends, he ound that it very

eectively made them all asleep.

It seems to work, said James

Simmons, proessor o biology and

director o the lab in which Horowitzconducts his bat research, o Neu-

roPop. People like it.

Horowitz was quick to mention

that NeuroPop is completely sepa-

rate rom what I do at Brown, but

his lab work inorms his understand-ing o human interactions with sound

and also has several other practical

applications.

Still, NeuroPop depends upon the

scientic knowledge o the vestibu-

lar system that Horowitz has gained

in part rom watching the motion o

bats fying around the chain-room in

Hunter Lab.

Only three or our o Horowitzsbats, which he collects rom natural

habitats around Providence includ-

ing one taken rom a math depart-

ment building last week will toler-

ate wearing the modied our-gram

lasers that Horowitz uses.

These lasers, combined with 20

microphones and our inrared cam-

eras in the isolated research cave,

tell Horowitz eactly where each bat

was pointing its head when it let out

a call. As the sound waves return to

the bat ater hitting the chains hang-

ing rom the ceiling, the bat receives

a picture o its surroundings that

Horowitz hopes to use or practical

applications.

The bats are using their sound

system the way we use our vision,

he said, hoping to use his research

to understand eactly how that hap-pens.

Horowitz has yet to make any

ormal recommendations or fying

vehicles based upon his laser re-

search with the bats, partly because

o the odd set o challenges inherent

to working with the animals.

He has had to special-order toupee

tape to attach the lasers to the bats

heads because they fy so quickly that

the lasers oten all o. One bat went

bald rom the constant re-attachment

o lasers.

The lab also deals with the con-

stant threat o rabies and other dis-

eases aecting the bats, since theyare taken rom the wild.

Sharon Swartz, proessor o biol-

ogy and director o a bat laboratory

ocusing on fight and aeronautics in

Prince Laboratory, said she only uses

bats raised in captivity, and thereore

does not ace the same health risks

rom working with them.

To me, theyre just incredibly

beautiul, Swartz said o the bats

in her lab. Its a little bit like giant

airies.

According to Swartz, each one has

a dierent personality, with unique

reactions to her trials, which mostly

They pressed Blue Cross Blue

Shield to do a ew things, including

recovering all the copies, notiying the

aected individuals, oering a change

o subscriber numbers and review-

ing its claims or the net si months,

Sherry added.

Brown has no responsibility in

this whatsoever, but we took it very,

very serious enough to make sure

that Blue Cross Blue Shield acted in away that would rectiy this whole thing

and protect our employees and their

amilies, Sherry said.

Blue Cross Blue Shield conducted

an internal review and modied exist-

ing security procedures to prevent a

similar situation rom occurring in the

uture, Director o Communications

Services Jacqueline Ibbitson wrote in

an e-mail to The Herald. The company

will also be conducting an audit o the

aected members claims later this

year, she added, declining to answer

urther questions.

Brown was required by new legisla-

tion to report the breach to the U.S.

Department o Health and Human

Services because the privacy breach

aected over 500 individuals, Sherry

said.

The law is part o the Health In-ormation Technology or Economic

and Clinical Health Act, intended to

saeguard private inormation and

build consumer trust, according to an

ocial at the Oce or Civil Rights at

the Department o Health and Human

Services.

There have been 47 breaches o

unsecured protected health inorma-

tion aecting 500 or more individuals

across the nation since the act was

implemented last August, according to

a list o breaches posted on the depart-

ments Web site. The majority o the

breaches were due to thet, according

to the Web site.

Though the breach was publicized

on the departments Web site, there

has been little media attention to the

breach at Brown. This is because the

breach was o low risk and becauseBrown was required to notiy the me-

dia only i the breach aected more

than 500 people rom one state, Sherry

said. Aected individuals reside in

land, Massachusetts and Connecticut,

coming artists.

Hinton said students will look

back on the lineup and think, Wow,

these guys played here.

Ive liked (Snoop Dogg) or a

long time, Hinton said o the hip-

hop artist who released his rst

album in 1993. He was one o the

rst three songs I downloaded on

Napster.

Brooklyn-based electronic indie

rock duo MGMT was the top request

o respondents to BCAs survey in

alls Undergraduate Council o Stu-

dents poll, which asked students to

list bands or artists they would liketo see perorm or Spring Weekend,

according to Hinton.

Usually we dont even get into

the top 10 or 20 in the poll, he

said.

The rest o the artists are less

well-known, Hinton said. Were al-

ways ecited about bringing newer

artists, he said.

Major Lazer, a collaboration o

British DJs Diplo and Switch, will

open or MGMT Friday evening.

Alex Spoto 11, BCAs administra-

tive chair, said the board members

identied Major Lazer as some-

thing that would be pretty popular

by the time Spring Weekend rolledaround.

Starting at 1 p.m. on Saturday,

April 24, rapper Wale, blues-rock

band the Black Keys and Snoop

Dogg who just released an album

and is currently shooting a lm

will take over the Main Green.

I love the Black Keys, and Im

pretty ecited about Wale, too,

Spoto said. We snagged him kind

o early on, and I think hes getting

bigger and bigger.

Because the Black Keys are re-

leasing an album in May and have

gotten a lot o radio play in recent

months, we elt like it was just a

really cool time to get them, Hin-

ton said.

Spoto also added that several o

BCAs board members have seen and been impressed by the

Ohio-based duos past perormanc-

es. Theyve put on a really great

live show, he said.

With an increased budget in

honor o the anniversary, BCA so-

licited some ar-etched prospects,

according to Spoto. We tried a ew

kind o crazy bids early on, such as

Neil Young, Elvis Costello and the

Beastie Boys, he said.

At the end o the day, though,

Hinton said he couldnt be happier

with how it turned out.

ning March 24 or $18 per day with

Its kind of like a football draft. Rodne Clifton, interim dean of the division of engineering

at the University.Engineering is small, said

Proessor o Physics Chung-I Tan

P95 P03, chair o the department

and head o the Faculty Executive

Committee. It should grow. As it

grows, it will benet all science

areas. The important issue, he

said, was to ensure coordination

so that other areas grow at the

same time.

Those behind the proposal

sought to win the approval o other

departments prior to the vote. Its

very important or us to interact

with as many o you as we can,

said Rodney Cliton, interim deano the division o engineering.

Beore the discussion began,

Cliton showed a slide o Browns

Prince Engineering Laboratory, the

Universitys principal engineering

research space, which was built 50

years ago. Thats not the way re-

search is done today, he said, We

need quiet spaces, clean spaces.

To illustrate a model o modern

research acilities, he showed a

slide o Harvards state-o-the-art

Northwest Science Building.

The Harvard comparison per-

sisted when Proessor o Physics

David Cutts pressed Cliton on

the organizational structure o

the school.

Cutts said he was concerned

about a leadership o the school

that was reporting at the highest

level and thus was independent o

other aculties. Harvards model,

he said, was much more inclusive

than Browns proposed school, be-

cause the dean o the school o

engineering reports to the dean o

the aculty. Under the new proposal

at Brown, the dean would report di-

rectly to the provost, bypassing the

aculty o the arts and sciences.

The decision to have a new deanreport to the provost was made

because its just a much more at-

tractive position i we show that the

person is reporting at the level o

the provost, Cliton said.

Cliton also explained that engi-

neering would be unied internal-

ly, with no departmental divisions

within the school. The departments

o applied math and computer sci-

ence were initially envisioned as

part o a new school, he said.

They have opted not to join this

school, but I think theres quite a

lot o support, he said.

Many proessors spoke aboutcollateral benets, using a term

introduced by Proessor o Pedi-

atrics James Padbury, who said

increased research in nanotechnol-

ogy would complement his own

work. Dietrich Neumann, chair o

the aculty orum, said he heard

a chorus in unison.

When other proessors began

to suggest alterations to the plan

and voice concerns, Susan Alcock,

proessor o classics and director

o the Joukowsky Institute or Ar-

chaeology, highlighted her depart-

ments unusual involvement with

engineering. She urged other ac-

ulty to take a slightly more holisticview o the whole situation.

Tan asked whether there was

a comprehensive plan or the re-

organization o all the sciences.

Vohra replied, The whole question

o how we are organized ought to

be considered in its own right.

Donald Forsyth, proessor o geo-logical sciences and vice-chair o

the Academic Priorities Commit-

tee, said there may be discussion

o having another layer o deans

beneath the provost.

Other aculty brought up the

idea o creating multidisciplinaryinstitutes in the three areas iden-

tied in the proposal as needing

attention and expansion micro-

and nano-technologies, biomedical

engineering and energy and envi-

ronment and inrastructure.

Interdisciplinary is very e-

citing, Proessor o Physics James

Valles said. What is challenging

about it is in act maintaining a core

intellectual eeling.

In choosing areas in which to

bring new aculty and epand, en-

gineering would work with other

departments whose research areas

overlapped, Cliton said. Its kindo like a ootball drat, he said,

You go or the best athlete.

Cliton emphasized the impor-

tance o the name change and the

need or visibility to attract stu-

dents. O the 25 top universities

in the nation, 23 have schools o

engineering, he said. The other top

university lacking a school is the

Caliornia Institute o Technology,

which has a ormidable reputation

in engineering but does not have

schools. For visibility, it is impor-tant to us that it really be a school,

Cliton said.

Several speakers touched on

the issue o diversity, both in

terms o the ethnicity and gen-

der o students and new aculty

hires. However, Harvey Silverman,proessor o engineering, said he

was satised with the Department

o Engineerings current gender

breakdown. In his course, he said,

were just about 40 percent women

now. Im not ter ribly unhappy.

With the emphasis on building

sophisticated research capacity, the

impact on undergraduate students

was another thread o the discus-

sion. We do not want to tamper

with the undergraduate experience

at Brown, Briant said.

Cliton said the presence o

more aculty would mean more

courses o general interest couldbe taught.

We dont have enough elective

courses to oer undergraduates,

said Proessor o Engineering Eric

Suuberg.

The last major arc o the dis-

cussion was the plan to raise $100

million or engineering, o which

about one-third would go toward

the construction or renovation o

a new building.

Weve been very careul in

planning this whole thing that

this wont take away rom others,Cliton said. We had a bigger pro-

posal there beore. The current

proposal is the third version o a

proposal rst drawn up in sum-

mer 2008.

The game is not necessarily

zero-sum, Cliton said. The ocus

here is to bring into the University

money that were not getting, mon-

ey thats being let on the table. My

prediction is that the overall giving

will go up.

Cutts suggested giving co-

appointments to new proessors.

This could be an opportunity or

all the sciences to work together

in bringing these people here, he

said.

As or the physical location o

the building, Cliton said it has not

been discussed. John Hermance,

proessor o geology, spoke abouthow he valued running into his

students as he walked around cam-

pus. We need that kind o casual

interaction, he said, concerned

that the location o a new acility

in the Jewelry District or Wayland

Square would scatter students and

aculty.

Forsyth said he would like

Prince Laboratory itsel to be re-

placed. That would be one thing

many o the aculty would like to

see, he said.

Briant noted that Kertzer is

planning to appoint a committee

to develop the physical space com-

ponent o the proposal.

The baseball team took on some o

the nations elite talent when it trav-

elled to Louisiana to ace Pepperdine

and deending national champion

Louisiana State over the weekend.

The Bears nished the trip 1-3, but

came back to Providence with an

upbeat attitude.

We really swung the bats very

well, said Head Coach Marek

Drabinski. We played some great

teams and did pretty well . We need

to work on timely hitting, but over-

all it was a positive weekend and wehave lots to build on.

The Bears earned their lone

win on Friday, an 8-7 victory over

Pepperdine. But then they dropped

two games to No. 1 LSU, 13-7 and

9-2, and lost the rematch to Pep-

perdine, 19-3.

bw 8, p 7

Brown got o to a strong start

on Friday to open the season. In

the victory, winning pitcher Kevin

Carlow 13 and starter Mark Gorm-

ley 11 each pitched our innings,

giving up a total o only ve earned

runs. Matt Kimball 11, the teams

closer, gave up only one hit in the9th inning to close out the game.

Oensively or the Bears, the

highlights came in the sith and

eighth innings when the Bears

scored our runs in each rame.

Daniel Roso 12 went 2-3 with

three RBI and two runs to lead

Browns oense.

lsu 13, bw 6

The happiness rom the season-

opening win didnt last long, as later

that aternoon the Bears ran into

the juggernaut that is the No. 1 LSU

Tigers. The Tigers got o to a ast

start and led, 8-0, by the end o the

second inning.

But the Bears did not go downwithout a ght. They scored seven

runs in the last ve innings and

the nal score was 13-6 in avor

o LSU.

In the loss, Matt Colantonio 11

was 3-5 and Graham Tyler 12 was

2-5 with three RBI.

p 19, bw 3

The next day, the Bears took on

Pepperdine again, but this time, the

Waves came out with a vengeance.

Despite a rst inning 1-0 lead ater

an RBI single by Pete Gresko

11, the Bears trailed ater two in-

nings, 9-1. From there, Pepperdine

didnt let o the gas and went on tothe 19-3 victory. In the loss, Cody

Slaughter 13 was 3-4 and Ryan

Zrenda 11 was 3-5 with an RBI.

During the game, Brown was

plagued by spotty deense. Browns

inability to practice outside because

o the weather may have hurt the

teams elding, Gresko said.

Having not been on the eld yet,

we struggled deensively, Gresko

said. But our oense perormed

better than we epected.

lsu 9, bw 2

The Bears closed out the road

trip by playing LSU again. Brown

took an early 2-0 lead on the Tigers

on RBI singles by Slaughter andNick Punal 10.

But rom there, the Tigers

pitchers kept the Bears in check,

and LSU went on to a 9-2 victor y.

Brown took away some posi-

tives rom the rst road trip o the

season. We denitely are begin-

ning to get a eel or what positions

guys are really going to succeed

in, said Will Weidig 10. The at-

mosphere and competition is some

o the best we will play all year and

denitely some o the best in the

nation, and we really held our own

in the games.

The Bears net play on Friday,

when they travel to ace the Uni-

versity o South Carolina.

The sotball team (2-2) began the

Retriever Classic at the University

o Maryland-Baltimore County on a

strong note, beating Morgan State

(4-6) and Fairleigh Dickinson (4-4)

on Saturday. But UMBC (9-1) beat

the Bears in both games on Sunday,

including the championship game.

bw 9, m s 8, 11

Saturday began with Morgan State

scoring two runs in the top o the rstinning with two hits, a stolen base and

two errors on the Bears part. Brown

had a total o si errors in the game.

We gured it would be a bit o a

rough start because it was the rst

time we actually elt the dirt under-

neath us, as the team has had to

practice indoors, said Head Coach

DeeDee Enabenter-Omidiji.

But the Bears managed to nd

their ooting. At the end o seven

innings, Brown tied the game, 4-4.

The game went to etra innings until

Katie Rothamel 10 drove in Danielle

Comissiong 11 or the winning run

in the 11th.

The Bears led the game, 4-0, ater

the top o the third but allowed Fair-

leigh Dickinson to come right back

with three runs. Pitcher Liz DiMas-

cio 13 relieved Trish Melvin 12 and

gave up just two more runs. The Bears

posted three more runs in the seventh

inning to win the game.

The deense struggled and the

pitching wasnt where it shouldve

been, but the team just came togeth-

er, DiMascio said.

umbc 4, bw 2

The Bears jumped out to an early

1-0 lead in the rst inning Sunday

morning against UMBC, but the

host team answered right away with

two runs o their own. UMBC scored

two more runs in the ourth inning toclinch the game.

Later that aternoon, the Bears

aced UMBC again in the champion-

ship game.

We really wanted to beat them,

Rothamel said. This time we elt more

condent that we could beat them.

But they had good hitters and their

pitching was consistent.

UMBC came out swinging, lead-

ing the Bears, 4-1, ater two innings.

Though the Bears attempted to rally

back in the seventh, their two runs

were not enough to overcome the

decit.I wed had (the rally) earlier on,

we wouldve been much better o,

Enabenter-Omidiji said. But overall,

we were pleased with what we saw

River Resort in Newry, Maine.

Its by ar the best nish wevehad since Ive been on the team,

said captain Krista Consiglio 11.

Its better than winning Regionals

or our division.

It was the best nish or the

Bears since the 2004-05 season,

when the team claimed second

place, according to Head Coach

Mike LeBlanc.

The level o competition just

went up quickly in the past ew

years, LeBlanc said. The act that

weve ought our way back up to the

top is incredible.

And given the teams peror-

mances this season, a third-placenish at Nationals was even more

impressive. In the ECSC MacCo-

nnell Division, the Bears came

in ourth place and at Regionals

managed only a th-place nish

overall.

Its saying something to go to

Regionals and get th and then go

to Nationals and get third, LeBlanc

said. This was the rst time in a

while that the team has just gone

out and eecuted like they can.

In giant slalom, the Bears raced

out to a strong start and nished

third. Consiglio led the team with

an 11th-place nish. Her teammates

ollowed close behind Kia Mo-

senthal 12 nished in 14th and Em-

ily Simmons 12 came in 16th.

However, it was the teams

ourth-place nish in slalom that

clinched third or the Bears over-

all. It was one o the Bears best

nishes in slalom all season.

That was denitely a big shock

to all o us, Consiglio said. It was

really, really close between all the

teams. The dierence between

second and sith was only a ew

hundredths o a second.

All the girls nished with clean

runs, LeBlanc said. Thats only

happened once all season. They

were relaed and condent.

Consiglio and Mosenthal were

the Bears top perormers in both

slalom and giant slalom and they

both won All-America Honors or

each event.

Only Westminster College and

Sierra Nevada College placed high-

er than the Bears. Both teams re-cruit European skiers who are very

ast and have access to snow all

the time because they go to school

in the mountains, Consiglio said.

Its just really big to beat theseteams rom Europe, LeBlanc said.

Our team has to travel or two

hours in one day to train, and theysometimes only train or one day

a week. I people could see what

these girls did, how theyre so

incredibly strong. Its just mind-

boggling.

C .

skiing

players werent able to carry over the

success rom the night beore.

Only two Bears made it over the

ve-point mark on the evening. Dan-

iels led the way with 14 while Court-

ney Lee 10 netted si.

With 4:05 remaining in the rst

hal, Bruno went on a run and cut the

Lions 14-point lead down to just our

at the hal. In the second hal, Brown

came out with strong deense and tied

the game with 16:50 remaining.

Columbia (18-10, 9-5) slowly

pulled away behind a dominating

perormance by Judie Loma, who

had 20 points and a school-record 27

rebounds on the evening.It was a tough ending to the ca-

reers o seniors Lee, Natalie Bonds

10 and Christina Johnson 10.

It is going to be really hard to see

our seniors go, Nickel said. I dont

think it has actually sunk in yet that

they wont be back on the court with

us net year. But all three have had

such an impact on the program in

their our years, and they will be truly

missed.

The Bears nished the season

sith in the Ivy League. Brown will

take a week o and begin postseason

training on Monday.

The Cornell mens basketball teamcould earn a No. 11 or No. 12 seed

in the NCAA Tournament, which

Ater clinching the Ivy League

ESPN college basketball analyst Joe

Lunardi told Bloomberg newswire

that the 79-64 loss to a lousy Penn

squad on Feb. 12 likely cost Cornell

a shot at a single-digit seed.Only three Ivy teams have won

their opening round game in the

past 25 years Penn in 1994 and

Princeton in 1996 and 1998. Cornell

will learn its opening-round matchup

when the selections are announced

Sunday evening, but the Big Red did

get recognition in the interim.

editorial

The Herald reported Feb. 25 that Health Ser vices

plans to implement several new measures in orderto be more welcoming to transgender students.

These steps include training caregivers and sta

on transgender issues, changing orms and signs to

refect the range o gender identities and allowing

students to state a dierent name or pronoun than

is listed on their medical orms. We support these

eorts and we are glad to see that Health Services

is tr ying to be as inclusive as possible.

These sorts o initiatives are impor tant not just

because they improve the experiences o students

here at Brown, but also because they set a positiveeample or other institutions and policymakers.

Many critics o equality or gender and seual mi-

norities speak as i giving these individuals rights

and protections is in some way socially destructive.

Theyre just wrong. And not surprisingly, since TheHeralds report two weeks ago, lie at Brown has

gone on just ne.

Its highly regrettable when others choose not

to go the ull distance in making all individuals

eel accepted, but its downright reprehensible

when public ocials go out o their way to make

lie more di cult or marginalized groups. Thats

why were outraged at Virginia Attorney General

Ken Cuccinelli, who last week sent a letter to the

states public universities telling them to end poli-

cies that ban discrimination on the basis o seual

orientation.

According to Cuccinelli, only Virginias General

Assembly has the authority to etend legally en-

orceable protections to certain classes o citizens.

It hasnt, so universities cannot, Cuccinelli claims.

But the University o Virginia, or instance, has in-cluded sexual orientation in its non-discrimination

policy since 1991.

So why is the recently elected Cuccinelli mak-

ing such a uss all o the sudden? A statement he

made ve months ago while campaigning oers a

pretty good clue and undercuts any credibilityhe might have had in claiming hes just enorcing

the law.

Homoseual acts are wrong. Theyre intrinsi-

cally wrong, Cuccinelli said. And I think in a

natural law based country its appropriate to have

policies that refect that.

So while Cuccinelli now wants to be thought o

as a principled conservative deending the preroga-

tives o the democratically elected legislature, its

clear he is just a bigot intent on using his authority

as attorney general to do a little social engineer-

ing.

Cuccinelli apparently has not been persuaded by

the basic ideas o airness and privacy that justiy

equal treatment o gender and seual minorities.

Still, were airly condent that the 41-year-old willrecant these views at some point in his lietime. I

hes concerned about his political viability, he will

eventually be orced to take note o the act that

58 percent o Americans between ages 18 and 34

support legalizing same-sex marriage, according to

a CNN poll conducted last year. I he is concerned

about his social acceptability, he will want to keep

in mind that roughly hal o all Americans report

having a close riend or relative who is gay.

Unortunately, the state o Virginia is stuck with

an attorney general whose views are backwards

and whose methods are righteningly aggressive.

We can only epress solidarity with the LGBTQ

students, aculty and employees at Virginias uni-

versities, who will actually have to deal with the

direct eects o Cuccinellis willingness to permit

discrimination and oppression.

The guest column by Roberta

Goldman 13 (Brown Students or

Palestine (and Israel), March 4)

misrepresents Brown Students or

Justice in Palestine, as well as their

use o the word apartheid.

To be clear, I am not writing as a

member o Brown Students or Jus-

tice in Palestine. I attended BSJPs

presentation on their campaign or

University divestment rom com-

panies proting rom Israeli apart-heid in the Occupied Territories. I

learned that the goal o BSJP is not

divestment rom Israel itsel; rather,

it is divestment rom companies that

prot rom the illegal military occu-pation o the Palestinian Territories.

BSJP has demonstrated a precise

and responsible use o language.

Anyone who attended their event

or visited their table on the Main

Green would know that they limit

their use o apartheid to reer to

the Occupied Territories only.

Misrepresenting BSJP by distort-

ing their language (down to their

name and main goal) and then ac-

cusing them o cheapening wordsdemonstrates a reusal to engage in

a actual debate about divestment

and the reality o lie under occupa-

tion. It would be nice, or eample,

to hear Goldmans perspective on

illegal settlements, in which Israeli

settlers are subject to civilian law

while Palestinians endure military

law. This dual system o law estab-

lishes the condition o apartheid

as dened by the United Nations.

The illegal settler population can

live reely, while limitations on

movement, conscation o natural

resources, and restrictions on politi-

cal reedom dene the Palestinian

eperience.

A sign on the main green asking,

Do you want your university prot-ing rom apartheid? leaves no room

or objection. Whatever you label it

(apartheid, occupation or plain old

injustice), lets not pay or it. I the

use o a single word was the sole

objection o BSJPs detractors, then I

see that as an endorsement o BSJPs

message o ending our complicity in

Israels human rights violations.

Currently, Brown University is

potentially invested in companies

that acilitate the illegal military

occupation o the Palestinian Ter-

ritories. Rejecting an unacceptable

status quo through selective divest-

ment is the true message o Brown

Students or Justice in Palestine. It isone that all o us should endorse.

pinionsThe Brown Dail Herald

Its that time o year again: the applications

have been reviewed and a lucky ew have

been invited to attend interview weekends

at their prospective grad schools. This is a

chance or both the aculty and the potential

students to evaluate each other and get a eel

or the t between student and program.

And while its important or you, the student,

to learn about the program and proessors

during your visit, you should not orget that

this is an interview, and to treat it as such.As a grad student, I went to several

interviews beore deciding to come to Brown.

Now, or the past several years, Ive been in

the position o watching prospective studentsinterview with my department. Ive seen some

pretty egregious interview mistakes that could

easily be avoided. So I have decided to share

some tips here on how not to screw up your

grad school interviews.

Dont talk about how another school is

your top choice. Even i the school at which

youre interviewing isnt your number one

choice, dont tell them that. A graduate pro-

gram can only admit a cer tain number o stu-

dents. I they think youre going to decline an

oer o acceptance in avor o another school,

thats an easy reason to eliminate you rom

their nal list o accepted students.

Dont be late to an appointment. I youare late, apologize. Interview days can be mara-

thons o meetings with dierent proessors,

many o whom will not be keeping an eye on

the time or you. I you can politely remind

someone that you have to meet with your

net appointment and leave, do so. I Proes-

sor x keeps you late, apologize and eplain

the situation when you meet with Proessor

Y. They know how it works, but you should

demonstrate that you realize how valuable

their time is.

Have questions ready, and ask them. I

have seen ar too many prospective students,

when asked i they have any questions or

their interviewer, simply say, No and then

just sit there. This sends the message that

you are uninterested in the program and the

research that goes on there. Take charge! Ask

questions. Show them that you care about this

program and that you are an intellectually curi-

ous person. Plus, i you ask a proessor about

his or her research, he or she will likely talk

or the net twenty minutes straight, giving

you some time to collect your thoughts and

think o more interesting things to say.

Research the department to which you

are applying and the proessors who are inter-

viewing you. All this requires is looking at the

universitys Web site. See what the program

requires o graduate students so you get a

general idea about the department. When you

know which proessors will be interviewing

you, look them up. See what they teach, what

their area o research is and what their most

recent publications have been about. It is a bad

idea to appear unaware o or uninterested in

the research o someone in the department

to which you are applying. By making a small

eort, you show that you are invested in the

program and will be an involved member o the

department. Looking over your interviewers

Web sites is also a great way to come up with

incisive questions about their work, demon-

strating both that you did your background

research and that you are capable o critical

thinking.Dont get sloppy with the current grad

students. It is likely that the current students

in the program to which you are applying will

take you out. Even though you have had a

very long day, and are probably ehausted

and maybe still nervous, dont drink too much.

Proessors ask the current students what they

think o the visiting prospectives. I, when

your name is mentioned, the overwhelming

response is, Oh, you mean that guy who

threw up in the bushes and then got into an

argument with a stop sign? chances are no

one will be very impressed. Use your time with

the current students to ask them questions

about the department, the social scene, the

city not to get wasted.Thats my humble advice, taken rom

eperience. Getting invited to interview at

a grad school is a great opportunity. I your

application was strong enough to get to that

point, it would be a shame to squelch your

chances by making a silly, preventable mis-

take. The takeaway message here is be aware

o how you are presenting yoursel and make

an eort to show that you think the interview

is important. Showing enthusiasm, interest

and respect at an interview will always make

a good impression.

The Anti-Homoseuality Bill introduced inUganda last all is deeply disturbing: it called

or the death penalty or any orm o seual

relationship between persons o the same

se, which was later lightened to lie im-

prisonment. However, capital punishment is

still applicable or serial oenders and HIV

positive individuals. Unsurprisingly, this bill,

refective o the ecessive homophobia and

ruthless suppression o gay rights in many

parts o the Arican continent, immediately

drew condemnation and protests rom the

West which hoped to pressure the Ugandan

congress to stop its gruesome criminalization

o homoseual activities.

Among progressive minds, however, there

are also objections to the Western pressure and

intererence. My colleague Dominic Mhiripiri

12 noted etremely one-sided takes on this

controversial issue in a recent opinion column

(Understanding the odd story o gay rights

in Arica, March 5). Underlying the liberal

eorts to deend the basic human rights in

Uganda, Mhiripiri argues, is a lamentable want

o understanding o the ultra-conservative root

in Arican culture; correspondingly, stern at-

titudes o Western societies on this issue would

yield no positive outcomes. Such objections to

Western inter vention in the Ugandan situation

are well-intentioned and laudable, but in this

particular case cultural relativism is a poor

ecuse to support Western non-action in the

ace o the anti-gay rights bill in Uganda.

To begin with, it is arguable that homopho-

bic sentiments in Uganda could be attributed

as much to indigenous culture as to colonial

import o Christian doctrines. In any event,

we must bear in mind that evangelical groups

rom America had a hand in stirring up the

most recent waves o persecution o homo-

seual people in Arica. It is certainly no co-

incidence that the bill was introduced shortlyater three American evangelical Christians

arrived in Ugandas capital to teach about

curing homosexuals, which received a great

deal o publicity at that time.

I Aricans hostility towards gays is West-

ern in origin whether the r uit o past im-

perialism or modern evangelism it is at

least a sign that a portion o Arican people are

already hugely susceptible to Western valuesand infuence. Thus, the real question posed is

not just giving the right amount o respect or

a dierent culture, but to propagate Western

values o liberalism to countervail an existingculture o homophobia and intolerance that

unortunately was also o Western origin. To

eert the right kind o Western infuence is

thereore more relevant than the concern o

cultural relativists.

Second, we need to careully discern the

sentiments o the populace and the ruling

elites in Arica. Despite the Ugandan publics

determined antipathy towards homosexuality,

the political leaders there are clearly in a bar-gaining mood with the Western countries who

implored or the cause o gay rights. So ar, the

Ugandan government has backed down a little

bit and changed the death penalty provision to

lie imprisonment or the homosexuals or thesake o millions o dollars in oreign aid.

These changing positions likely point to a

very cynical circle o Ugandan leaders who

reason dierently rom their constituents, but

were willing to mobilize popular eelings and

cultural dierences to barter or diplomatic

gains regardless o the cultural belies their

people have long held against homoseual

behaviors. This shocking cynicism and hy-

pocrisy o the political elites is obviously not

something that cultural relativism can account

or. Thereore, any moral objection to stronger

Western pressure on Ugandan leaders should

be removed.

Third, the anti-gay rights bill in Uganda

goes beyond the question o cultural relativ-

ism and reaches the jurisdiction o universal

human rights. Indeed, cultural dierences

eist not only across national borders but

also within a countrys bounds. In the United

States, or instance, we can easily make an

legal argument or protecting diverse and even

exotic religious doctrines or cultural traditions

insoar as the most undamental rights are

protected within those religious or cultural

groups. For instance, some orm o protec-

tion or legal eception is oered to peculiar

religious groups, but ultimately even in thosegroups, the recognition o their special status

is contingent upon the principle that minimal

rights o the members are guaranteed.

We can reasonably compare the right to

autonomy o those groups and a nations right

to resist oreign intererence: the anti-gay

bill in Uganda violated homoseuals right to

live; this must no longer be eplained away

by cultural relativism. International condem-

nation and intervention in this case is not

just warranted but essential to Arican gays

survival.

For all these reasons, we should not stop

at the concept o cultural relativism in de-

liberating our strategies in Uganda. T rue,

it is a complicated problem, one o clashing

Western values, crooked political calculations

o Ugandan political elites and, above all, the

urgent need to deend the basic human rights

o homosexual groups in A rica. Meanwhile, it

is also a case where strong determinations to

condemn and stop gross violations o human

rights must take precedence over enlightened

sensitivities towards dierent cultures and

values.

In this particular case cultural relativism is a

poor excuse to support Western non-action in

face of the anti-ga right bill in Uganda.
