Head injuries are rare or Frye.Once he learned how to do a fipproperly, it took an eort to mess up,

Even in this instance, when heailed the round-o and backfip, hewakd away usathd msty.
I was s mbarrassd, ad I ddnot do that move or a really longtime because the embarrassmentdidnt hurt me physically it just

Embarrassment is a really de-structive orce or Frye and otherbreak dancers. One o the biggestchallenges is overcoming the instinctto check himsel when perorming

But Frye does not hesitate to givea demonstration. He throws out a
master swipe or sticks an arrow-back a fip that transitions intoa handstand, held or a number o
sds th mdd th S-s Lbrary bby t ustrat hsmoves. Break dancers occasionally

He is also working to improve hisreezes and the invert, a move like the

Te key, Frye said, is to enjoypractice as much as perormance.For him, this is not a problem. Breakdancing has an addictive quality,

Even though the mens and womensg tams pay th sam sprt, thy
st smhw d a way t b paropposites. Both squads resume theirseasons in the upcoming weeks a-
ter a ve-month urlough between
thr sprg ad a ampags, butthey will be looking at them verydrty.
I look at it as we are in the middleo our season, not that the all sea-
s has dd, sad wms HadCah Da Grths br thbreak. With womens college gol,everything counts, so our spring is
just as mprtat as ur a.But or the mens squad, winning
its Ivy League tournament held
April 22-24 or both men and women is essentially the only means oentry into the NCAA Championship.As a result, the championship and the
tournaments leading up to it take ona rasd sga.
Denitely the spring is muchmore important, said mens gol-er J.D. Ardell 13. When you gothrough the all season and then youhave this big break, its almost likeyoure starting all over again. You gorom all season where youre ridingthe momentum guys have rom play-ing all summer long, and theres really
no weight in those tournaments. TeIs s k t s basktba yu
basically have to win your conerencet gt t th NCAAs.
Certainly, we want to be com-ptt th a, sad ms HadCoach Micahel Hughes, but they rut that w ha t gt t thNCAAs, which obviously is the ulti-mate goal, would be or us to win theIy Lagu hampshp.
Te two squads also concludedthe all season with vastly dierent
results. Te men struggled in the all,ailing to nish better than 10th in
ay thr turamts.Te women cracked the top 10 in
ry turamt, udg a rst-pa sh at th Nrthr IsOpen in October, where they set a
school record or one-day low score.We had a great all, and hopeully
we can build upon that, said Meganuohy 12. I think it motivates us,
ad w m bak ut ray wat-g t pay.
Both teams suered a setbackover the break when their normalpractice acility, the Eagle Quest GolDome in West Warwick, collapseddue to snow accumulation. It remains
sd.Its dicult not having an indoor
aty k sm shs, spaylike some Big en schools or other
Is, Ard sad. Fr us, w kd
o need to wait or everything to thawut t g t th rag ad th gr r t t dry t b ab t gtut t th urs.
As a result o this years harshweather in the northeast, both squads
begin their season in warmer locales.he women irst travel to SouthCarolina March 20-21 and then to
Seaside, Cali. March 28-29. Te menopen their spring season in SantaBarbara, Cali. March 28-29 and thentra t Arza Apr 2.
Were the last team that hasspring break in the Ivy League, sosquty, wr th ast tam tplay in warm weather beore we start
ur shdu hr th rthast,Hughes said. A lot o teams are play-ing in warm weather now and are go-g t ha t m bak t th dweather. I think its a huge advantageor us to have spring break so latebaus wh w m bak, hp-uy th wathr shud b gd.
As th tams gar up r th Iychampionships, the mens and wom-ens rosters look very dierent. Te
women have a wealth o experience,eaturing a majority o upperclass-
men. Te Ivy League Championshipis being held this year at Atlantic CityCountry Club, the same locationwhere it was played two years agowhen many o the Bears were begin-
g thr Brw arrs.I think our experience will de-
nitely work in our avor, uohy said.My reshman year, we played at At-lantic City, so I think every one o ushas seen the course beore and played
it. I think that having been there acouple o times will help put it all intoperspective, and we will enter it witha tt mr d.
Te mens squad has much lessexperience, with only one seniorand one junior at the helm. TeirIvy championship is being held atGalloway National Gol Course inNew Jersey, a location with which
th payrs ar amar.
Wr a ry, ry yug tam,Hughes said. Were playing with themajority o kids as reshmen andsophomores, and none o us haveever played at the Galloway Club be-
ore. We have our hands ull. Some othe Ivy teams have played there withsm thr dr payrs thr rur tms.
Hughes has high expectationsr hs tam, but h sad h ds thard to predict how they are going
t prrm.My prognostication skills are
s bad, h sad. Ery tm I thkw ar gg t pay grat, w dt,and whenever I have a bad eeling,
w pay gd. I thk w sh th uppr h, whh wud burth r bttr, t wud b a gratshwg by ths tam.
But Griths has a systematic way
o predicting her teams perormance.Every semester since Ive been
hr, w gtt pa bttr,she said. Were denitely trying to
mb th addr. W startd at sth
(in 2009), and this past season wewr h, s w wat t mb a-thr spt aga.
For the players, the Ivy champion-ship is a momentous tournament, but
or Ardell, the most important things kpg t tt.
W t b tugh r a rshmath rst day just baus t s kthis is the one tournament that reallymattrs? It ud b, h sad. Id byg I ddt say thr wr smrs d ast yar r m. Itsthe big show. Its the one that mat-

In support of gamete cells right to life
To the Editor:
I wsh t mmd Sarah Gass 2 r hr r-t ps um (T as r at rghts,March 18). Im pleased to see that Gassel and othersare standing up or the rights o etuses even beorethey can exist as independent organisms outside th mthrs wmb. But sady abst Gasssum was supprt r th rghts gamt s specically, the millions o ova and billions uponbillions o sperm cells t hat are heartlessly murderedeach year as a result o C/M/A: contraception,
masturbat ad sua abst. I tuss arvoiceless, then gametes are doubly so, because thereare two o them or every embryo produced. Can
we simply stand by as these countless potential livesa t b ratd?
Just as wth Gasss tuhg stry adpt,everyone reading these words would not be alive
tday had th gamts strg thr gs b d-stroyed through C/M/A. It is truly horriying thatorganizations like Planned Parenthood support thiswhsa baby saughtr thrugh thr prmto contraception, amily planning and sexual health.
Millions o uture American lives are at stake, andI would argue that in terms o sheer quantity, this isa ar more pressing issue than abortion, though lesswdy pubzd. Wh I agr wth th psprssd Gasss um, I b w pr-
advocates need to direct our attention rst to solvingthe C/M/A issue beore tackling the comparativelymr ssu abrt.

Earr ths mth, T Hrad rprtd that th O Rs-
dential Lie is considering a reorganization o on-campus housingthat would concentrate rst-year dorms and dining around either
Keeney or Pembroke campus. Tough these plans are only in theprmary phas, w appaud ths rt t str a mr mmu-a rst-yar pr. Currt mpats abut a uqua adsgmtd g pr r mg studts ar warratd,and urthermore, re-allocating housing spaces on campus will likelybt a asss.
Ky ad Pmbrk ah bast adatags t bg th usr rst-yar g. Ky s ty s t th Sharp R-ectory and the Main Green, easing the rst ew weeks o dicult
navigating or those new to campus at the beginning o each year.
Having rst-years in proximity to main campus and one anothermay also diminish the saety risks posed by students walking lateat night, requently alone and across long distances between their
dorms and their academic and social activities. But Keeney lacks the
lounge space necessary to accommodate an entire rst-year class,and its layout is not likely to oster the same kind o bonding that
smar, qutr drms d.O th thr had, Pmbrk, as a ustr sparat budgs,
provides more opportunities or units to coalesce. Tough urther
rom campus, a more removed rst-year living space may aid in orm-g ts a qutr, ss rma sttg. It s wrth ptgut, urs, that whhr ara s t usd r rst-yar husgwould become sophomore and upperclass dorms, and Pembrokemay oer more diverse options or those entering the housing lotteryaer their rst year. Either location would require structural renova-tion as well as a reorganization o community resources like units

Tough some have raised concerns that removing upperclassmenrm rst-yar drms wud rdu tr-ass rdshps, w ha

We are pleased to see that ResLie and the Corporation are brain-storming ways to make the rst-year living experience more cohesive.Presenting a well-constructed rst-year community is likely to serveas mr ras r prspt studts t k rward t at-tdg Brw.

Revelry, deception and arias intoxicate opera audience

Die Fledermaus or Te Revenge th Bat, Brw Opra Prdu-tions spring show directed byAudrey Chait 11, is a whimsical,
atasta tak Jha StraussIIs prtta abut a wd ght rry.
Te opera begins with the cham-
bermaid Adele (Rebecca Lichtin4) sgg abut a ba sh gsto attend. She eigns her aunt issick so she can get the night o.Meanwhile, Dr. Falke (Zal Shro4) trs t Gabr Esst (Natha Marg )t attd a party br h spdsght days ja r a ptty rm.H prmss hm bautu d,women and wine our wordsthat prty apsuat th p-

As Dr. Falke and Eisensteinescape to the ball, Alredo (An-drw Wg ) wh ps rEisensteins wie Rosalinde (JulianaFriend 11) comes to visit herjust as the prison director (NathanWeinberger 13) enters. Alredopretends to be Eisenstein and istaken to jail in his place. At the ball,Adele, Rosalinde, Eisenstein, theprison director and a prince (IvyAlphonse-Leja 14) all encounterah thr dsgus as Dr. Fakstrs up us rg r aprank Eisenstein played on him. Anight o intoxication, indelity andm hag sus.
Because the story itsel wastrite, Chait said she decided toplay up the antastical aspect andram th sd at as atasy.
Tere are also anachronistic ele-ments in the opera in one scene
when Eisenstein reveals that Adele
has been lying about her aunt beingsk, sh muttrs sht udr hrbrath wth a guty sm.
Its not contemporary, but re-
moved rom historical context,Chat sad.
Te stage opens displaying largered soas, several lamps in the back-
ground and a table with a bottle whsky ad tw gasss. But thmost striking element o the setis the large clock, which initiallydisplays eight oclock. Its hands arethen moved around by the actors toshow the progression o time at theparty. At th d th ght, s-eral numbers are missing, strippedaway by the drunken guests. Color-ul costumes add to the mirth oth party s.
Shro, Lichtin and Friend sangwith complete control, but the voic-
s thr atrs wr smtms
lost as a result. Te song sung by
Lichtin, Friend and Margolin atth d At O s mastruyperormed as Friends Rosalindeeigns sorrow at the departure oMargolins Eisenstein but is secretlyrjg. Sh ws r th aud-ence with her charm, declaringtwo can play this game tonightwhen she sees the firtatious ways o
her husband in Act wo. Trough-out the show, the actors project thewords o the songs to the audience,but th tmg s smtms .
Te actors also have a strongstage presence. In one scene, Dr.Falke stands calmly to the side,holding his cane and glass ochampagne as the guests become
increasingly intoxicated. At the endo Act wo, he stands triumphantlyin the center o the stage, under thesptght ad rt th k.
Te orchestra, directed by Ja-
cob Klapholz 13, seamlessly moves

Chait said the opera was bigand un very dierent rom theproduction she directed last year,
