    The Perry and Mar ty Grano Cen-

    ter or the Creative Arts will open

    or student use and oer classes

    and programs in spring 2011, said

    Richard Fishman, proessor o vi-

    sual art and director o the Creative

    Arts Council.

    The center will eature a recital

    hall, three production spaces, a gal-

    lery, a recording studio, a physical

    media lab and an outdoor amphi-

    theater, according to the Creative

    Arts Councils pamphlet about the

    center. The center is also designed

    with spaces or groups to gather,

    talk, hold a seminar in order to

    acilitate the exchange o ideas,

    Fishman said.

    The Creative Arts Council oc-

    es that will be housed in the build-

    ing should be open in December

    2010, Fishman said.

    The center will be used or

    programs and courses taught by

    aculty rom various departments

    but will not house any academic

    departments, Fishman said. Rhode

    Island School o Design students

    and aculty will be invited to make

    use o the building as well, he

    said, and public presentations

    and events that will be open to the

    community will also take place in

    the building.

    The center was inspired by the

    need at Brown or a space where

    barriers between the arts, science

    and technology could be crossed,

    The creation o a graduate pro-

    gram in Aricana studies marks

    the latest development in the

    growth o the department, which

    hired renowned author Chinua

    Achebe in the all. The Corpora-

    tion approved the new program

    in December, said Tricia Rose,

    proessor o Aricana studies and

    chair o the department.

    The department, which is only

    a decade old, currently oers only

    an undergraduate degree. Thegraduate school will open admis-

    sions next all or the programs

    two ully-unded student openings,

    and the rst students will enroll in

    all 2011, Rose said.

    While students will earn a

    masters degree en route to their

    doctorate, the approved proposal

    does not include a terminal mas-

    ters program, Rose said.

    The programs curriculum has

    three areas o ocus: history, poli-

    tics and theory; literary, expres-

    sive and perormance cultures;

    and eminism, gender and sexual-

    ity. Doctoral candidates will take

    two required classes and otherseminars during their rst two

    years and begin their dissertation

    proposal in their third. They will

    be able to choose among gradu-

    ate seminars with topics including

    black eminist thought and race

    and cultural politics, according to

    a September memo sent to admin-

    istrators by the Aricana studies

    aculty.

    The small size is not unusual

    or a graduate program in the

    humanities at Brown, according

    to Dean o the Graduate School

    Sheila Bonde.

    The rst class is limited to two

    students because o the amount o

    available unding, Rose said, add-

    ing that she hopes the program

    will expand to our or ve students

    in each class. This would require

    the dedication o additional re-

    sources and undraising eorts

    to create endowed student ellow-ships, she said.

    The department began consid-

    ering the program in 2001, but

    did not actually begin working on

    it until two years later, said Bar-

    rymore Bogues, proessor o A-

    ricana studies and a ormer chair

    o the department.

    In the ollowing years, the

    department made a series o

    high-prole hires such as Rose

    and Proessor o Aricana Stud-

    ies and English John Wideman.

    These hires were part o a con-

    scious decision to strengthen

    the department in specic areas,

    Bogues said.It is a departmental priority to

    have the largest number o highly

    ranked cutting-edge research ac-

    ulty in order to attract top gradu-

    ate students, Rose said.

    Five academic units are in the midst

    o being reviewed this semester by

    internal review teams led by

    the Academic Priorities Commit-

    tee and external review teams

    o scholars rom other institutions,

    according to guidelines and pro-

    cedures or reviews o academic

    programs produced by the Oce

    o the Provost. The review process

    gives departments and concentra-

    tion programs an opportunity to

    improve the quality o academic

    units individually and the Univer-

    sity as a whole, according to the

    guidelines and procedures.

    Associate Provost Nancy Dun-

    bar, who oversees the reviews o

    academic departments and cen-

    ters, said the goal o the review

    process is to think about where

    we are, where we are trying to get

    and how to get there. The units

    undergoing review this year are

    physics, chemistry, modern cul-

    ture and media, English and liter-

    ary arts.

    The issue most departments

    wanted to ocus on was how the

    department is doing in relation to

    its national or international peers,

    Dunbar said. Scholar visits rom

    other universities would help de-

    partments see themselves in rela-

    tion to their broader disciplines,

    she said, adding that departments

    want to refect on their strengths

    and their capacities or leading

    scholarship.

    On Friday night the Medical Student

    Senate hosted a undraiser at 222

    Richmond St. or the renovations that

    will transorm it into Alpert Medi-

    cal Schools new Medical School

    Education Building. With drywall

    pieces scattered on the foor, large

    holes in walls, light xtures missing

    and orange spray paint decorating

    the walls, the building whose

    renovations were approved by the

    Corporation last month is a work

    in progress.

    Were going to shell this whole

    thing, said Dean o Medicine and

    Biological Sciences Edward Wing.

    Renovations are scheduled to o-

    cially begin on April 26, but the

    University has received demolitionpermits that allowed some work to

    begin earlier, Wing wrote in an e-

    CAMS wS Our unerras will benefit extensivel. Professor of Africana Stuies Tricia Rose

    Historically, departments have

    said the most useul part o the re-view process is the initial discussion

    that happens among aculty, Dunbar

    said. Our departments are all in-

    terested in being the best they can

    be, she said.

    The review process provides

    us an opportunity to assess where

    (we) currently stand, both in terms

    o teaching programs and research

    directions, Proessor o Physics

    Chung-I Tan P95 P03 who chairs

    the Department o Physics and the

    Faculty Executive Committee

    wrote in an e-mail to The Herald.

    Tan wrote that the most meaning-

    ul part o the review to the physicsdepartment is the sel-study, which

    allows the department to examine

    what we have done over the past

    decade or our aculty hire, under-

    graduate and graduate programs,

    uture research direction and hir-

    ing and expansion. Tan added that

    the physics department discussed

    how to expand strategically in order

    to maximize the outcome o the

    growth o the Division o Engineer-

    ing into an engineering school.

    While the sel-study is valuable,

    it is nice to receive validation by

    the external visiting team, which

    the administration should take seri-

    ously, he wrote.According to Tan, the internal

    review o the physics department

    has been completed and a report

    will be provided to the external vis-

    iting team. This team consists o

    ve aculty members two rom

    Harvard and one each rom Princ-

    eton, New York University and DukeUniversity. They will visit the physics

    department in April.

    The Department is always evolv-

    ing, both in terms o new aculty and

    the natural evolution o the rontier

    areas o physics research, Tan

    wrote. The concentration program

    is evolving in tandem, he added. Tan

    wrote that the department is add-

    ing new tracks in biophysics and

    astrophysics to its bachelor o sci-

    ence concentration due to increased

    aculty research and student interest

    in those areas.

    The English department identi-

    ed our issues its undergraduateconcentration, doctoral program,

    non-ction writing program and hir-

    ing plan to ocus its review on,

    said Kevin McLaughlin, proessor

    o English and chair o the depart-

    ment.

    The review will not lead to a

    revolutionary change but the de-

    partment will try to simpliy our

    numbering system, and thats a little

    bit dicult because o the way the

    concentration requirements are,

    McLaughlin said. Thats probably

    going to lead us to step back and

    look at everything.

    The departments practice has

    been to stay open to making chang-es, McLaughlin said. Weve been in

    this current kind o system or our

    years. Its time to maybe look at it

    again and have a conversation, try to

    get some student input, he said.

    McLaughlin said one o the things

    the English department wants to get

    out o this review is an assessment othe non-ction writing program and

    its relationship with the literature

    program. More o our literature

    aculty are teaching courses in the

    non-ction writing program, but

    wed like to have more integration

    o the two i possible, he said.

    Brian Evenson, proessor o lit-

    erary arts and director o the liter-

    ary arts program, said the program

    consulted with other departments

    that had gone through the review

    process in the past, because the lit-

    erary arts program was part o the

    English department until 2005 and

    has never been reviewed beore.We worked very hard and gured

    out what was both good and bad

    about our department. We got some

    very productive responses rom the

    external review. Now its up to the

    University to implement the exter-

    nal review teams recommendations,

    he said.

    We have a responsibility as a

    top-ranked program to expose stu-

    dents to the best writers and the

    best teachers possible, Evenson

    said. We eel very good about the

    process. The recommendations o

    the external review committee were

    good. Were really hoping the ad-

    ministration will respond positively,he said.

    With additional reporting by Anita

    Mathews

    proved the proposal in 2007, but

    the department waited until ater

    an external review o the proposal

    was completed to bring the pro-gram beore the Corporation, Rose

    said.

    The external review did not

    require any revisions to the pro-

    gram, Rose said. According to the

    aculty memo, the review concluded

    that with the graduate programs

    creation, Browns department is

    poised to be one o the top three

    Aricana studies programs in the

    country. Brown will be joining only

    10 other U.S. schools with doctoral

    programs in the eld, according to

    the memo.

    In comparison with other schools

    programs, Browns proposed gradu-

    ate curriculum is notable or the

    act that its very interdisciplinary,

    Bonde said. It will also be the only

    graduate program in the country

    with a ocus on gender and sexual-

    ity, Rose said.

    Because o the programs highly

    interdisciplinary nature, Rose said,

    she expects that graduate students

    rom other departments, who al-

    ready take undergraduate courses

    in the department, will be interested

    in taking graduate seminars in A-

    ricana studies.

    The programs students will

    serve as teaching assistants in the

    departments undergraduate cours-

    es, Rose said. In the past, the depart-

    ment has had to borrow graduate

    students rom other departments

    or use undergraduates.

    Our undergrads will benet

    extensively, Rose said.

    Graduate students will also be

    able to take upper-level undergradu-

    ate seminars, Rose said, adding that

    they oten elevate the conversa-

    tion in those courses.

    The initial proposal included

    opportunities or graduate study

    abroad as part o the Trilateral

    Reconnection Project, but there is

    currently no budget in place to sup-

    port that, Rose said. The Trilateral

    Reconnection Project, a partnership

    with the University o Cape Town

    and the University o the West In-

    dies that the University established

    in 2006, encourages joint research

    and student and aculty exchange

    between the schools.

    Bogues, who will teach graduate

    courses on intellectual and critical

    theory, said he is personally excited

    to go deeper into subjects in a way

    that more basic undergraduate sur-

    vey classes are not able to.

    Im looking orward to that kind

    o work, he said.

    or the buildings renovations. A

    private donor has committed to

    contribute twice as much as the

    senate raises overall, said Patrick

    Worth MD11, president o the

    Medical Student Senate. Fridays

    event alone raised $900, which with

    the donors two-to-one match will

    bring the total raised to $2,700,

    Worth wrote in an e-mail to The

    Herald.

    The event was held on the build-

    ings second foor. Painted lines on

    the foor outlined where walls and

    openings would be constructed,and written descriptions showed

    that the space would become class-

    rooms, a lounge and part o the

    buildings atrium.

    Despite the construction in

    progress, the building appeared

    relatively intact.

    I expected raters, pillars,

    beams, said Steve Lee MD11,

    secretary o the Senate.

    The building is going to sepa-

    rate each medical class into its own

    academy, Wing said. Each academy

    will have its own lounge and eating

    area and will serve as a home or

    students during their our years at

    the Med School, he added.It will be great or students to

    have their own home and space

    because it will provide study space

    and better access to resources,

    Worth said. Having their own space

    will be very helpul or medical stu-

    dents because main campus acili-

    ties close when undergraduates are

    not in session, Worth said, adding

    that the Med School operates ona calendar dierent rom that o

    the College.

    The new building will also os-

    ter a better sense o community

    between upperclassmen and low-

    erclassmen, said Audrey Butcher

    MD13, a Senate representative.

    There are already plans or acad-

    emy Olympics as a orm o bond-

    ing, she said.

    The renovated building will

    include a large atrium and stairs

    that will lead up to each foor rom

    the atrium, Wing said. At night,

    our LED panels will be lit up on

    the side o the building so youcan see it rom College Hill, rom

    downtown, he said.

    Seventy percent o the surace

    o the building is windows, provid-

    ing spectacular views o downtown

    Providence, Wing said.

    Anatomy labs with windows,

    will be a welcome change, Worth

    said. Their current location in the

    basement o the Biomedical Center

    seems more like a dungeon, he

    added.

    The building has a parking lot

    next door, which will help make it

    easily accessible, Lee said.

    James Miller MD10 expressed

    disappointment that he is graduat-ing and will not be able to use the

    new building, which is slated or

    completion in August 2011.

    It is what the Med School

    needs, he said, adding that it will

    push the school in the right di-

    rection.

    Were really excited about this

    building, Worth said.

    Ever aspect of life affects the search for truth. Swami Atmarupanana, Veanta scholar

    k By gODA tHANgADA

    SeniorStaffWriter

    A scholar o one o the mystical

    traditions o Hinduism, Swami At-

    marupananda o the international

    Ramakrishna Order o Monks, led

    our guided meditations Sunday cen-tered around the theme Who am I?

    The Search or the Sel as part o

    the Sixth Annual Mary Interlandi

    05 Lectureship. The event, held in

    J. Walter Wilson, was organized by

    the Oce o Chaplains and Religious

    Lie and the Year o India.

    Atmarupananda, who is rom

    Caliornia, studies Vedanta, a phi-

    losophy o sel-knowledge. The our

    meditations were designed to point

    to something in our present experi-

    ence which is the ultimate reality,

    Atmarupananda said. He will give a

    lecture Monday on the history, phi-

    losophy and methods or the searcho the sel.

    Many o the approximately 20

    participants had a background in

    Buddhism, he said.

    Having been a monk in America

    or orty years, Atmarupananda said

    he has observed major changes in

    peoples attitudes toward and appetite

    or spirituality. In the 1960s, many

    young people were interested in

    seeking a spiritual path just or spiri-tualitys sake, he said. Nowadays,

    their entry is somewhat dierent.

    They are looking or connections.

    Theyre interested in environment,

    social justice and so orth. Spirituality

    is connected to that.

    Founded in 1897 by Swami Vive-

    kananda, the Ramakrishna Order

    reinterprets Hinduism or modern

    times. Hinduism is a living tradition

    that has always met the changing

    times, Atmarupananda said.

    The Ramakrishna Order main-

    tains several centers in India itsel.

    In India, our centers are involved in

    a great deal o work or the poor andthe distressed as part o our spiritual

    process, he said. In the West, we do

    more teaching work. While people

    less requently choose to become

    monks in America, Atmarupananda

    said the order is growing rapidly in

    India.

    The interest in the order remains

    strong in both the East and West,

    he said.

    The view o our tradition is thatreligion is really one, he said, and as

    a result, Ramakrishna monks main-

    tain connections and dialogue with

    people o other aiths.

    I have been challenged, cer-

    tainly, he said. Most people give

    at least a sympathetic hearing.

    Atmarupananda said he attempts

    to make Vedanta accessible to peo-

    ple, especially Western audiences,

    with a range o backgrounds and

    needs. Its something everybody

    can understand, he said. Its a ques-

    tion o explaining it in the language

    people can understand.

    Every aspect o lie aects thesearch or truth, he said. The goal

    is to nd a way o making everything

    a spiritual practice.

    Contributing Writer

    Associate Proessor o EngineeringThomas Webster and Erik Taylor

    GS have created nanoparticles to

    ght implant inections.

    According to the American

    Academy o Orthopaedic Surgeons,

    about a million people receive im-

    plants to replace a hip, shoulder or

    knee each year.

    Over 11 percent o these im-

    plants become inected with bacte-

    ria, Webster said. The bacteria that

    cause these inections can be ound

    on most suraces, including human

    skin. But i they enter the body and

    colonize, the bacteria can cause se-

    vere damage to tissue, especially inpeople with compromised immune

    systems, he said.

    In the case o inected bone

    implants, the bacteria gradually

    multiply and orm a layer o biolm

    on the implant, Webster said. The

    biolm subsequently discourages

    attachment o the implant to thepatients bone, causing pain and

    discomort, he said. Doctors usu-

    ally prescribe antibiotics to treat

    the inection, but in the case o

    antiobiotic-resistant bacteria, the

    treatments prove ineective and

    the patients end up having the im-

    plants removed, Webster added.

    But the nanoparticles that Web-

    ster and Taylor have created pen-

    etrate the biolm, start manipulat-

    ing bacteria, decreasing bacteria

    unction, Webster said in a March

    15 interview with KFSN-TV. In lab

    tests, these nanoparticles killed 74

    percent o bacteria in 48 hours,Webster said. Their studies have

    shown that the nanoparticles pro-

    mote growth o new bone cells,

    which could be an e ect o the iron

    in the particles, he added.

    Webster said he envisions u-

    ture treatments that will involve

    a simple injection o iron oxideparticles. Doctors could then use

    a magnet to direct the par ticles

    to the source o the inection, he

    said. Unlike traditional antiobiotic

    treatments, humans can withstand

    repeat exposures o iron until

    the inection is completely gone,

    as long as the recommended daily

    intake o iron is not exceeded, he

    said.

    Though several years o re-

    search and clinical studies are still

    required beore the nanoparticle

    implant inections, iron oxide nano-

    particles are already approved bythe Food and Drug Administration,

    which will substantially reduce the

    time or the treatment to be ap-

    proved, Webster said.

    promotion to vice presient centere on perfectin new heatin

    techniques to manipulate the performance of metals, he sai.

    These techniques can then be applie to man areas of science

    an enineerin.

    Prior to joinin the Universit in 1994, Briant was a post-

    octoral researcher at the Universit of Pennslvania an worke

    for almost two ecaes at the general Electric Research andevelopment Center, accorin to his curriculum vitae. While

    spaces will allow aculty to under-

    take more ambitious projects with

    all o these constituents.

    Construction o the center is

    unded ully by generous donor

    support that covers the cost o

    construction and an endowment

    or the building, including main-

    tenance, Fishman said. This proj-

    ect would not have been possible

    without external unding, he said.

    Brown was very or ward-thinking

    by not shrinking back rom doing

    this at a time when other schools

    were not moving orward with new

    initiatives, Fishman said.

    The goal is to have a building

    which benets all constituents o

    the University community, Provi-

    dence and Rhode Island, Fishman

    said. He said the main purpose o

    the center will be to get people to

    work together and to bring diverse

    disciplines together.

    In outlining the goals o the

    building to architects, the Creative

    Arts Council emphasized three main

    points: that the building not privi-

    lege any one department, discipline

    or media, that it allow or transpar-

    ency between activities so that one

    could generate relationships among

    people and programs and that the

    building be conducive to chance

    encounters among people in the

    community, Fishman said.

    I think the challenge is to main-

    tain the vision behind it and to allow

    it to grow and develop, always to be

    orward-thinking, Fishman said.

    Fishman said his hope is or the

    center to always question assump-

    tions o what art is and what art

    can become and to play a role that

    benets the makers and the audi-

    ence and contributes something o

    real value to this community and to

    the larger community.

    I am excited to see how all those

    dierent spaces are going to t into

    one building. It will be like a magic

    Mary Poppins bag o art spaces,

    said Olivia Harding 12.

    Ana Escobedo 11 said she is

    happy to have a building dedicated

    to the arts on the Pembroke side

    o campus. Students involved in

    theater currently have a lack o

    rehearsal spaces and places to per-

    orm in general. The idea o having

    spaces where people can go, sign up

    and work is wonderul, she said.

    The topping-o ceremony or

    the building when the steel beam

    marking the buildings highest point

    is put in place will take place

    Tuesday at 10 a.m., Fishman said.

    Its going so ast. Its just amazing.

    In one day, youll see the steelwork

    doubling in size, he said.

    Browns rst-ever team destined

    or the College Unions Poetry

    Slam Invitational an annual

    nationwide competition or slam

    poets perormed or a packed

    and enthusiastic Macmillan 117

    last Friday.

    Laura Brown-Lavoie 10.5, Kai

    Huang 11, Phil Kaye 10, Tim

    Natividad 12 and Jamila Woods

    10 will be the rst to represent

    the University in the invitational,

    which will take place at Emerson

    College in Boston April 710.

    At Fridays show, the team per-

    ormed individual and collabora-tive pieces, including the ones

    they currently plan on presenting

    at nationals.

    The team was selected Feb.

    17, when 13 hopeuls competed

    in ront o an audience o about

    150 students. Accomplished Provi-

    dence slam poet Jared Paul hosted

    the competition and selected ve

    students at random rom the au-

    dience to ultimately decide who

    made the team. The team mem-

    bers selected are all members o

    Word!, the campus spoken word

    poetry group.

    Audience members were asked

    to pay a $2 entrance ee, which willgo toward paying or the teams

    competition costs.

    In an interview with The Her-

    ald, team members Kaye and Na-

    tividad said their eelings were a

    little mixed when rst consider-

    ing the idea o going to nation-

    als because o the dierence

    between spoken word poetry,which is more collaborative, and

    slam poetry, which is primarily

    competitive.

    It is very dangerous to make

    the transition, Natividad said. We

    have so little experience in slam

    poetry. Its going to be a lot harder

    than people make it out to be.

    Kaye echoed Natividads con-

    cerns, adding that infated egos

    and antagonism between compet-

    ing slam poets oten keep them

    rom uniting as a team. But Kaye

    said the Brown teams shared ex-

    perience as spoken word artists

    gave the team an advantage.I think were really ortunate

    that everyone on the team is re-

    ally close already, Kaye said.

    We trust each other, know each

    others work.

    Natividad compared the combi-

    nation o camaraderie and compe-

    tition to playing ootball with ones

    amily on Thanksgiving. Its kind

    o like you get to go on a road trip

    with your riends, plus poetry,

    he said.

    Kaye cited members close re-

    lationships with one another as

    the reason he is not concerned

    that they dont have a coach, un-

    like many other teams.Both agreed that the team is

    invested in winning, but that it

    is not their only or even their

    main goal. The desire to learn

    rom and connect with other stu-

    dents who care about the art o

    spoken word provided much o

    the impetus or Word! members

    decision to send a group o poetsto nationals, the students said.

    Kaye said the team doesnt neces-

    sarily expect to blow everyone

    out o the water.

    Slam is a big part luck, but the

    talented teams tend to be luckier

    and I have ull aith in our talent

    as a team, Kaye said.

    Fridays team perormance

    eatured a mix o individual and

    collaborative poems, both old and

    new, with interludes o rap as well.

    The rst piece o the night was a

    collaboration o all the team mem-

    bers pacing throughout the audi-

    torium and prompting audiencemembers to listen to both

    poignant and serious lines, and to

    such light-hearted ones as listen

    to Snoop Dogg every night rom

    now until Spring Weekend.

    The rest o the pieces per-

    ormed covered a range o top-

    ics. A collaboration by Huang and

    Natividad addressed their rustra-

    tions and anger toward stereo-

    types o Asian-Americans. Another

    collaboration by Brown-Lavoie and

    Woods played o thats what she

    said jokes to address issues sur-

    rounding gender in communica-

    tion. Pieces by Kaye and Natividad

    addressed internal conficts aris-ing rom, respectively, having two

    separate amily histories on oppos-

    ing sides during World War II, and

    ambivalence about religion.

    We tried to oer (the audi-

    ence) something that we havent

    given them beore, Natividad

    said.

    This oer included a ull-

    fedged rap battle between Woods

    and Huang in the middle o the

    show, in which both humorously

    attacked each other to the beats

    o Three 6 Maas Stay Fly and

    Lil Waynes A Milli, complete

    with backup dancing by othermembers o the team. The battle

    elicited roars o laughter rom

    the audience, as the two threw a

    number o verbal gems at each

    other, such as Woods playul deri-

    sion o Huang: At least you got

    a backpack and a bowl o ramen,

    yes, you and homeless people got

    a lot in common.

    Huang perormed two other

    raps, one called Sick, which

    listed things he is sick o, includ-

    ing ree market capitalism and

    policing political correctness,

    and another that provided a hu-

    morous, but also thought-provok-

    ing, take on a typical meal at the

    Sharpe Reectory.

    All o the pieces conveyed what

    Natividad described as each o the

    members very distinct styles,

    which included incorporations o

    song, backup instrumentals, repe-

    tition and other aesthetic devices.

    The one-hour perormance, in-

    used with each members unique

    interpretation o spoken word,

    let audience members clapping

    vigorously. The team will travel to

    Boston next week to participate

    in a practice slam competition

    against host college Emerson in

    preparation or nationals.

    ContributingWriter

    The South Asian Students Associa-

    tion entranced the audience with

    perormances o dance, music and

    comedy during their annual cultureshow, Nashaa, Friday in Salomon 101.

    A year-long venture o planning

    culminated that night to meet the

    vision o showcasing and spreading

    awareness o South Asian culture,

    said SASA President Aparna Kumar

    10. Applause lled the packed audito-

    rium as the show provided perorm-

    ers amilies, riends and peers with

    a night ull o laughs and cultural

    appreciation.

    The event was organized chiefy

    by co-chairs Radhika Kumar 12 and

    Faiz Jiwani 12, with Akash Kumar

    10, Soumya Sanyal 10 and Gaurab

    Chakrabarti 10 emceeing.

    The perormances that night,

    which can be ound in videos on-

    line, included comedic skits, elegant

    dances and emotional spoken word

    pieces, addressing a variety o issues

    such as arranged marriages. Songs

    and dances told stories o orbid-

    den love, praised Hindu deities and

    recounted Indian customs. One act

    was based on a song rom a popular

    Bollywood movie.

    Musical acts spotlighted instru-

    ments like the tabla, a popular North

    Indian drum, and the veena, an an-

    cient lute instrument carved out o a

    single piece o jackwood. The tradi-

    tional South Asian costumes included

    colorul Indian womens garments

    called saris, as well as ghungroos,

    bells tied to the eet o the dancers,

    which serve as both decoration and

    percussion.

    The perormances were tied to-

    gether by hilarious videos starringthe emcees, which kept awkward

    transitional pauses to a minimum

    and kept the audience at the edge

    o their seats.

    The most popular perormances

    seemed to be the class dances, which

    integrated modern and hip-hop styles

    with classical South Asian dance and

    sounds. A tradition started long ago,

    the class dances serve as a un way

    not only to pit the classes against

    each other, but also to give the gradu-

    ating seniors their moment o glor y,

    said Aparna Kumar, and to usher in

    the new class o reshmen.

    The events success stemmed

    rom the emcees ability to keep

    the audience engaged. The emcees

    succeeded in stringing together the

    diverse selection o perormances,

    Aparna Kumar said.

    The planning o the event began

    a year ago when the three emcees

    approached SASA or the position,

    and much o the show came rom

    their vision or it, she said.

    Aparna Kumar also attributed

    the events success to the positive

    attitude with which the events chairs

    and emcees met obstacles, adding

    that despite a ew minor problems

    the event turned out to be abu-

    lous.

    The Jabberwocks and the Higher

    Keys placed second and ourth,

    respectively, at the International

    Championship o Collegiate A Cap-

    pellas Northeast seminals at the

    Massachusetts Institute o Technol-

    ogy Saturday.

    The two groups wowed the

    crowd in Salomon 101 by taking

    both rst and second place in the

    Northeast quarternals Feb. 20.

    The Jabberwocks, who came in

    rst, also took home awards orOutstanding Soloist Andrew

    Wong 11 or Use Somebody by

    Kings o Leon and Outstanding

    Vocal Percussion, won by Erik Abi-

    Khattar 10.

    MIT a cappella group Reso-

    nance hosted Saturdays seminals,

    where eight groups rom all over

    the Northeast region competed.

    The winners, Pitch Slapped rom

    Berklee College o Music in Bos-

    ton, will compete in the interna-

    tional nals at the Lincoln Center

    or the Perorming Arts in New

    York in April.

    But or the Higher Keys, who

    sang Cry Me a River, written byArthur Hamilton, Think by Are-

    tha Franklin and a Beatles medley,

    the experience was not all about

    competition.

    We have never been to semi-

    nals, and its really great. We

    want to work on our sound and

    not get caught up in the competi-

    tion, said Nick Herrmann 10, the

    Keys president.

    Josh Chu 11, the groups music

    director, agreed. We entered the

    competition as a goal to motivate

    ourselves, he said. You always

    study better when there is a test

    coming up. We werent expectingto win.

    Chu added, When we won at

    quarternals, it kind o validated

    all the hard work that we put in.

    Normally, the group practices six

    hours a week. For the quarternals,

    though, they put in extra sessions

    so that they were practicing nine to

    10 hours weekly, Chu said.

    A coed group is lot harder to

    blend than i you were in, say, an

    all-guy group, said Dominic Wu

    12 o the Keys. Adding choreog-

    raphy to the group is also very hard

    because were so big. Another chal-

    lenge is keeping up the energy.

    Despite the long hours and tir-

    ing practices that could last un-

    til midnight, the members o the

    group pulled through.

    Ater the quarternals, the

    Keys were like, that was a lot o

    work, said Wu. For the semis, its

    more about having un or us.

    The Jabberwocks, on the otherhand, are veterans o the competi-

    tion. The group had been to the

    seminals two years ago, where

    they also took second. This time,

    they sang Aint No Sunshine by

    Bill Withers, Use Somebody and

    a hip-hop medley that included Ke-

    shas TiK ToK, Lady Gagas Bad

    Romance, the Black Eyed Peas I

    Gotta Feeling and other songs.

    Like the Keys, the Jabberwocks

    put in a lot o rehearsal hours: three

    or more hours a night the week

    beore the seminals. Its a lot o

    commitment, said member Leland

    Lazarus 12. Normally, the group

    practices seven hours a week.But being in an a cappella group

    does not mean all work and no

    play.

    We hang out all the time. Some

    o us live together, and we do pot-

    lucks every once in a while, said

    Herrmann about the Keys. Some-

    times we go to Ben & Jerr ys and

    share a Vermonster.

    One o the main reasons I

    would pick the Keys over other

    groups, even though other groups

    have dierent styles that I may be

    into, is that the Keys has a great

    amily atmosphere, Wu said.

    For the Jabberwocks, hang-ing out means going to Wes Rib

    House, a southern style restaurant

    in Providence, beore or ater a

    big concert. The group also gets

    together to play sports.

    Lazarus, who joined the Jab-

    berwocks his reshman year,

    envisioned college a cappella as

    mainly a campus-oriented unction.

    It was at (A Day on College Hill)

    that I rst saw the Jabberwocks,

    he said. Everyone in the crowd

    knew each member, and everyone

    had their own an club. There was

    a lot o campus camaraderie. But I

    also realized there is a global com-

    ponent. We travel everywhere in

    the country and have international

    tours. We went to Hong Kong, Eu-

    rope and Korea.

    Similarly, the Keys have ex-panded their horizons beyond the

    Universitys borders. The group

    has traveled to many places, includ-

    ing San Francisco, and plans to go

    to Hong Kong next year.

    I did not expect to be con-

    nected to such a large network o

    people, said Christopher Unseth

    11.5, the Jabberwocks publicity

    manager. We have really strong

    alumni. They are so committed to

    the group that they give money

    and allow us to live at their (hous-

    es).

    At the competition, the Jab-

    berwocks were rst to perorm.There were a bunch o numbers

    in a hat, and every group picks a

    number, Lazarus said. We got

    rst. It was good because we didnt

    have to wait and be nervous. We

    were able to perorm and watch all

    the groups ater us.

    He added, On the other hand,

    we were setting the tone. The judg-

    es didnt have anything to compare

    us to.

    The semis also served as a

    learning tool or both groups.

    The competition changed the

    way we approach a cappella, said

    Herrmann, who discovered that a

    large portion o the competition is

    based on visuals, but at the same

    time, its easy to over-choreograph

    stu, and things look unnatural at

    an expense to the music.Herrmann added that he was

    glad the competition was over, as

    now the Keys can ocus on other

    songs.

    Lazarus said he thought all the

    groups had great choreography

    and impeccable sound. I eel like

    what dierentiated rst and sec-

    ond place and the rest were minute

    things one person coming in too

    loud or someone doing choreogra-

    phy a little too late. Little things.

    Hopeully next year or the year

    ater, the Jabberwocks can compete

    again and get to nals, he added.

    Currently, though, the group has

    other projects to take care o.

    Their last CD, Breaking &

    Entering, is currently nominated

    or the annual Contemporary A

    Cappella Recording Awards or

    best male collegiate album, best

    all-male song and best arrange-

    ment. Results will be announced in

    April. The Jabberwocks will also be

    singing at a Mets game April 8.

    The Keys also ended the com-

    petition on a positive note.

    The nals are during the time

    o Spring Weekend, said Her-

    rmann. So ater the competition,

    one o the members o our group

    turned to a member o the Jabber-

    wocks and said, I guess well see

    you at Snoop Dogg.

    Wu mirrored the sentiment.

    The Higher Keys have a saying:

    IJA its just a cappella.

    Many things rode on Saturdays

    mens lacrosse game between 11th-ranked Harvard and 16th-ranked

    Brown. There was a chance to start

    the Ivy season with a win. A chance

    to move up in the national rankings.

    And o course, a chance to taste

    sweet victory over an archrival.

    In what has become one o the

    top lacrosse rivalries in the nation,

    Bruno earned bragging rights with

    a 1311 victory over the Crimson

    at Harvard Stadium.

    Brown 13, Harard 11

    The Bears jumped out to a 50

    lead to set the pace or the game.

    In the words o Head Coach Lars

    Tiany 90, Bruno played a go 100miles per hour and ask questions

    later kind o game. It seemed liked

    Bruno couldnt miss with Thomas

    Muldoon 10 making a 360-degree

    shot in ront o the goal and David

    Hawley 11 launching a shot rom

    15 yards out.

    Charlie Kenney 10 and Seth

    Ratner 11 dominated the mideld,

    capturing 16 o 26 aceo opportu-

    nities and allowing Bruno to have

    more scoring opportunities.

    We crushed em, said goalie

    Matt Chriss 11. We had a great

    game, controlling the eld. The

    Ivy opener is always a big game.

    Harvards a great team but, well,

    we just wanted it more.

    Browns deense had a strong

    showing behind Chriss, who made

    nine saves and even went the length

    o the eld to make a shot, only to

    have it called back on a penalty.

    Poking un at ormer Brown All-

    American goalie Jordan Burke 09,

    Chriss said, I dont think Burke

    ever tried scoring a goal.

    Harvard was able to rally back

    several times in the second hal.

    Crimson standout Terry White

    ound the goal our times, as didteammate Je Cohen.

    We played all 60 minutes o

    that game, said Harvar d Head

    Coach John Tillman. Its hard

    though when you have to keep

    digging yoursel out. It wastes a

    lot o time and energy.

    Tiany said teams must walk a

    ne line when theyre up big in the

    second hal. Its the 4th quarter.

    Do you keep pushing or do you kill

    the clock? Its hard.

    This led to some errors on be-

    hal o the Bears as they tried to

    pass the ball around the eld to

    run time o o the clock.

    Andrew Feinberg 11 answeredthe Crimson rallies, nding the

    goal our times, with some shots

    looking almost impossible.

    When asked which goal was his

    avorite, Feinberg said, Im not

    sure. I dont really remember the

    shots. Im just glad we won.

    The Bears will be at home Tues-

    day or a 4 p.m. game against the

    University o Massachusetts at

    Amherst.

    Goalie Dan Rosen 10 was once the

    bright uture o Brown hockey.

    Plagued by injuries, Rosens ca-

    reer slowly slid downhill until he

    was made the backup in his senior

    season. But in his last game wear-

    ing a Brown uniorm, Rosen got

    one more chance to start in goal

    Saturday. And he made the most

    o it.

    In the Bears 3-0 win over St.

    Lawrence, the goalie played faw-

    lessly. Rosen had 21 saves in the

    shut-out and even got an assist on

    the games rst goal.

    We were all just hugging and

    crying in the locker room, Rosen

    said ater the game. The team just

    gave it all out or me today and that

    means a lot ater, not just or

    me personally, but the number o

    injuries and bad times that weve

    had to have everybody come

    together today and get a win in this

    game is really special.

    Rosens play was a reminder o

    the promising career everyone ex-

    pected him to have.

    As a reshman, he earned second

    team All-Ivy honors and etched his

    name in the Brown record books

    towards the top o the list in every

    major goalie statistical category.

    For eight weeks in a row, he led the

    nation in goals against average and

    save percentage.

    His statistics were less impres-

    sive during his sophomore year, but

    he still started 25 games. By the

    time Rosen was a junior, the once-

    decorated reshman was battling a

    hip injury and ghting or ice time

    with a new young talent Michael

    Clemente 12.

    As a reshman, Clemente played

    the hero in last seasons playo se-

    ries with Harvard, in which Cle-

    mente became the only opposing

    goalie to shut out Harvard in back-

    to-back home games in Crimson

    hockey history, which dates back

    to the nineteenth century.

    We both had very high levels o

    success our reshman years, Rosen

    said, without a hint o resentment o

    his teammate in his voice. It was

    kind o interesting to see it rom the

    other standpoint, as the goalie that

    wasnt playing at that point.

    The hiring o rst-year Head

    Coach Brendan Whittet 94 last

    oseason reopened the battle or

    the goalie slot, but Clemente again

    won the starting job.

    Rather than harbor any bitter-

    ness in his senior season, Rosen

    said he was thankul or his oppor-

    tunities in his rst three seasons

    and supportive o Clemente in his

    last.

    I was pretty ortunate and I was

    lucky to be able to play a large por-

    tion o the games my rst three

    years, Rosen said. Ater returning

    rom a groin injury this season, I

    just tried to be as best o a team

    player as I could, because Mike was

    playing really well this year.

    The support didnt go unappreci-

    ated by Clemente. Clemente called

    Rosen one o the most supportive

    and helpul teammates that anyone

    could ask or.

    This season has been a struggle

    or Rosen. He got his rst start on

    Nov. 17 when Brown played at

    Providence. But just less than two

    minutes into the game, he elt a

    pop in his groin and ell to the ice

    in pain. As he was helped o o the

    ice by a teammate and the trainer,

    Rosen looked down at the ice, shak-

    ing his head.

    Given that it was my rst chance

    the Bears skated out seconds

    later, only a murmur came rom

    the small Brown contingent. But

    the atmosphere didnt intimidate

    the Bears.

    I thought we were going to

    win this game because we were

    on a roll, and our guys believed

    not only believed we should be

    here, but believed we should win

    a championship, and thats pretty

    powerul, Whittet said.

    Brown controlled the opening

    period, getting out to an 115 ad-

    vantage in shots. But both goaliesshut down the nets, and the teams

    skated into the locker rooms at

    intermission with the scoreboard

    still blank.

    They did a lot o good things

    in the rst period against us and

    put us back on our heels, said

    Cornell Head Coach Mike Scha-

    er. We did a good job in the sec-

    ond period and started to create

    some oensive chances.

    The rst chance to nd the

    back o the net came o the stick

    o Locke Jillson 15:35 into the pe-

    riod. Jillson took the puck rom

    the let aceo circle, sized up

    Brown goalie Michael Clemente12, made a quick move and red

    a blistering wrist shot inside o

    Clementes elbow to give Cornell

    a 10 lead.

    What happened in the second

    period was we couldnt get any

    pressure at all because they were

    in our zone or 40 or 50 seconds,

    Whittet said. By the time we got

    out, we were dumping pucks in

    and we were gassed and had to

    change.

    The chances were there or

    Brown in the third. Bobby Farn-

    ham 12 got on a breakaway seven

    minutes into the third period butwas shut down. And Jack Maclel-

    lan 12 had a chance rom point

    blank with 6:30 let in the nal

    rame. But Cornell goalie Ben

    Scrivens denied those two pucks

    and 21 more in the shut out.

    I one o those pucks went

    in, its a dierent game, said tri-

    captain Jordan Pietrus 10, who

    returned Friday rom what was

    once labeled a season-ending

    injury.

    John Esposito and Riley Nash

    both beat Clemente in the third

    period, giving Cornell the 3-0 vic-

    tory.

    Brown 3, St. Lawrence 0

    In his last collegiate game, Dan

    Rosen 10 who backed up Cle-

    mente in goal this season got

    the start and made the most o

    his oppor tunity.

    Rosen blanked the Saints and

    had 21 saves.

    Hes the real deal, St. Law-

    rence Head Coach Joe Marsh

    said o Rosen. He sees the puck

    so well, hes quick. He made a

    couple o saves that we had somereally good shots on we set

    screens and he just stuck the pad

    out there. Theres two really

    quality goaltenders at Brown.

    Ater a scoreless rst period,

    Rosen got some support on the

    other end when second team

    All-Ivy selection Aaron Volpatti

    10 got on a breakaway with little

    more than ve minutes let in the

    period. Volpatti approached the

    goal rom the right, then swooped

    to the let and dinged a wrist shot

    o o the post and into the net,giving Brown a 1-0 lead.

    I think (the rst goal) set us

    up or, Okay, lets pop another

    one and get the win or our class

    and or the rest o the team and

    send these guys on a high note or

    next year, Volpatti said.

    And the Bears did just that.

    Jesse Fratkin 11 made it a 20

    game on a one-timer rom Harry

    Zolniercyzk 11, who then added

    an empty-net goal with 3:08 let

    on the clock to seal third place

    or Brown.

    Not many teams, or especially

    seniors, get to go out with a win,Rosen said. To have the team

    play as hard as they did and play

    the way they did it meant a lot

    to the seniors and particularly to

    me.

    Tri-captain Aaron Volpatti 10 went

    down in the record books Saturday

    or the most penalty minutes o any

    player in Brown history and he

    did it on purpose.

    Volpatti who was ve penalty

    minutes shy o the single-season

    record beore the game told

    reeree Chip McDonald beore a-

    ceo not to be scared to give him

    a 10-minute game misconduct i

    the Bears were ahead late in the

    consolation game, Volpatti said.So when the Brown orward was

    whistled or a slashing penalty with

    4:33 let in the third period with

    Brown ahead 20, he knew it was

    his chance to break the record.

    I got that penalty and then I said

    to Chip (McDonald), Was that a 10

    or? And he goes, Do you want a

    10? And I cant really say what was

    said, but, yeah, Volpatti said.

    McDonald gave Volpatti the

    game misconduct and boosted

    his season total 10 extra minutes,

    pushing Volpatti to 115 penalty

    minutes on the season, ahead o

    ormer leader Ryan Mulhern 96,

    who had 108 minutes in the 1994

    95 season.

    Ten o the top 11 leaders in

    Brown history beore this season

    were ormer teammates o HeadCoach Brendan Whittet 94.

    We had some knuckleheads

    back then, Whittet said with a

    laugh. Im glad (Volpatti is) the

    king o knuckleheads.

    Jonathan Bateman / Heral

    Aaron Volpatti 10 set a new recor for most penalt minutes in menshockes histor, surpassin Ran Mulhern 96 b seven minutes.

    to play with the new coach, I really

    wanted to make a good statement

    in my rst game, he said. To have

    (the injury) happen, it was just very

    rustrating.

    The groin injury kept him out

    o uniorm or seven games, and

    he wasnt back on the ice until 10

    games ater he was helped o it.

    Rosen struggled in his two regu-

    lar season appearances ater the

    injury, and with the Bears locked

    in a race or playo home ice at

    the end o the season, Rosen didnt

    even play on Senior Night. In act,

    he asked not to.

    The night beore, Whittet called

    Rosen into his oce, sat him down

    and told him ace-to-ace that Cle-

    mente was going to start on Senior

    Night.

    I was glad he did that, Rosen

    said. I told him I didnt want to get

    a pity start on Senior Night. In-

    stead, he said he wanted Clemente

    to go out and win it or the Bears.

    Even this weekend Rosens

    last games o collegiate hockey

    he maintained the selfess attitude.

    Ater the Bears lost to Cornell in the

    opening round o the Final Four,

    Whittet asked Rosen i he wanted

    to have one more start in goal or

    the consolation game. It was a ques-

    tion Rosen wished his coach didnt

    have to ask.

    To be honest, we all includ-

    ing mysel would have rather had

    Mike ... playing in the champion-

    ship game today, Rosen said.

    But Rosen had spent all season

    backing up the position he once

    held so rmly, and in his last game,

    he took the opportunity to get one

    more start.

    Dans a selfess guy, Whittet

    said ater Rosen shut out St. Law-

    rence in the nal game o the sea-

    son. Dan was a guy that bided his

    time, and he was unbelievable to-

    night. It was a tribute to him.

    Twenty-one saves, no goals

    against and one assist what a

    way to go out or Rosen, who said

    the bright uture now belongs to

    Clemente.

    Mikes a great goalie, and this

    team is going to do a lot o special

    things with him in net, Rosen said.

    Theyll be back in Albany and

    theyll win it with him there.

    JACKSONVILLE, Fla. So Wiscon-

    sin was the higher-seeded team Sun-

    day at Veterans Memorial Arena?

    Like so many previous games in

    the 2010 NCAA mens basketball

    tournament, 12th-seeded Cornell

    proved to Wisconsin and the rest

    o the nation that seedings mean

    little once the teams step onto the

    court.

    The Ivy League champions were

    the better team early in building a

    double-digit lead less than our min-

    utes into the game, withstood one

    surge by the Badgers late in the rst

    hal and then dominated the rest othe way to oust ourth-seeded Wis-

    consin, 87-69, in the second round

    o the East Region.

    When top-seeded Kentucky takes

    the foor in the East Region semi-

    nals Thursday night in Syracuse,

    N.Y., the Wildcats opponent will be

    the upstart Big Red (29-4).

    The reason: Cornell played Wis-

    consins style o basketball and did it

    better than Bo Ryans team.

    The Badgers, who saw their

    season end in the second round

    or the second consecutive season,

    will be home with a 24-9 record and

    painul memories o their stay in

    Jacksonville.Senior guard Louis Dale hit 10 o

    17 eld-goal attempts and scored 26

    points to lead our Cornell players

    in double gures.Senior orward Ryan Wittman

    hit 6 o 9 eld-goal attempts in the

    rst hal when he scored 14 o his

    24 points to help the Big Red build

    a 43-31 haltime lead. Wittman n-

    ished 10 or 15, including 3 or 5

    rom three-point range.

    The Big Red repeatedly burned

    Wisconsins deense and nished at

    61.1 percent (33 or 54), including

    53.3 percent rom three-point range

    (8 or 15).

    The overall shooting mark was a

    season-high against Wisconsin. The

    previous high was 53.3 percent, set

    by Illinois in a 63-56 victory at theKohl Center.

    Senior center Je Foote (12

    points) and sophomore guard Chris

    Wroblewski (12 points) also played

    well or Cornell.

    Junior orward Jon Leuer was

    Wisconsins best player. He went 5

    or 5 in the rst hal en route to 14

    points but didnt get nearly enough

    help. He nished with 23 points.

    Senior guard Jason Bohannon

    broke out o his three-game shoot-

    ing slump and inished with 18

    points on 7-or-15 shooting

    Senior guard Trevon Hughes had

    ve rst-hal turnovers, struggled

    deensively and gave a orgettable

    perormance in his nal game at

    Wisconsin. He ouled out with 2 min-

    utes 39 seconds let and nished

    with 10 points, six turnovers andtwo assists.

    Junior orward Keaton Nankivil

    was limited to two minutes in the

    rst hal because o two early ouls

    and picked up two more in the rst

    3:10 o the second hal. He nished

    with no points and two rebounds.

    Redshirt reshman orward Ryan

    Evans added 11 points or Wiscon-

    sin, Sophomore guard Jordan Tay-

    lor, also limited by oul trouble in

    the rst hal, nished with seven

    points.

    Cornell was sharp early and

    Wisconsin appeared discombobu-

    lated.Wittman buried two open jump-

    ers; Nankivil missed two shots and

    Jon Jaques stole a pass by Hughes

    and drove in or an uncontested

    layup to give the Big Red a 6-0 lead

    just 1:45 into the game.

    Ryan called a timeout just one

    second later and pulled Hughes and

    Nankivil in avor o Evans and Tim

    Jarmusz.

    Wisconsin missed its rst three

    eld-goal attempts and didnt score

    until Leuer hit 1 o 2 ree throws

    with 17:09 let.

    Leuer hit a jumper to cut Cor-

    nells lead to 11-4 but the Big Red,

    which hit its rst ve eld-goal at-tempts, got a three-pointer rom Wittman to push the lead to 14-4

    with 15:47 let in the hal.

    Leuer continued to carry Wis-

    consin in the rst hal. He scored

    Wisconsins rst 12 points, on 4-or-4

    shooting to keep Wisconsin within

    striking distance at 18-12.

    Bohannon inally got on the

    board with a three-pointer with 10:26

    let and when he scored on a drive to

    pull Wisconsin to within 24-19 with

    8:37, Cornell called a timeout.

    Brimming with condence, Bo-

    hannon buried a step-back jumper

    to bring Wisconsin to within 24-21

    with 7:20 let.Cornell answered with an 8-2

    run, highlighted by a three-pointer

    rom Wittman with one second let

    on the shot clock, to build the lead

    back to 32-23.

    Leuer hit a jumper to cut the de-

    cit to seven and then orced Foote

    into a traveling violation.

    Wisconsin ailed to capitalize,

    though, when Hughes saw his drive

    rejected.

    Unlike Wisconsin, Cornell took

    advantage o the opening.

    The Big Red outscored Wiscon-

    sin, 11-6, over the nal 3:29 o the

    hal to build its lead to 43-31.

    Wroblewski sparked the run with

    a three-pointer and a jumper and

    Wittman closed the scoring with a

    three-pointer with ve seconds let

    in the hal.

    Led by Wittman, Cornell shot a

    sizzling 59.3 percent in the rst hal

    (16 or 27).

    Wisconsin, which had made

    just 18 o 56 three-point attempts

    (32.1 percent) and 64 o 179 shots

    overall (35.8 percent) in its previous

    three games, shot 40 percent rom

    three-point range (4 or 10) and 52.2percent overall (12 or 23) and still

    trailed by 12.

    Wisconsins comeback bid ended

    in the opening minutes o the sec-

    ond hal.

    The Badgers hit 2 o their rst 4

    eld-goal attempts to pull within nine

    points but Dale hit a three-pointer

    and ollowed that with a three-point

    play. That sparked a 13-6 run that

    allowed Cornell to build the lead to

    56-41 with 16:15 remaining.

    Wisconsin never got closer than

    13 points the rest o the way.

    theorlando Sentinel

    ORLANDO, Fla. Time was when

    spring break was synonymous with

    beer and bikinis. But these days, a

    large and growing number o college

    students are spending their precious

    time o helping underprivileged

    kids, abandoned pets, disabled vet-

    erans and disaster victims.

    Alternative spring break, as

    the movement is called, will draw

    roughly 72,000 students across the

    country this year, according to the

    national nonprot Break Away.

    Florida is both a leading provider

    o student volunteers and the ben-

    eciary o scores o team projects

    led by out-o-state students seeking

    a side o sunshine with their altru-

    ism.

    Our alternative spring break

    program has become so popular

    that were actually booking schools

    two to three years out, said Susan

    Storey, communications director or

    the Kissimmee-based Give Kids the

    World, which treats children with

    lie-threatening illnesses and their

    amilies to an all-inclusive Central

    Florida vacation. This week we have

    Purdue with 55 students and Colo-

    rado State with 10. DePaul gets here

    next week, and St. Johns (Univer-

    sity) and the University o Georgia

    just let.

    With 1,500 volunteer shits to ll

    each week, Give Kids the World putsthe students to work doing every-

    thing rom laying sod to serving up

    pizza parties or the kids.

    At University o Central Florida,

    the alternative spring break pro-

    gram has grown so much, so ast

    that this year three students were

    turned away or every one accepted.

    Jessica Maureen Schwendeman, 23,

    said theres no better way to spend

    the week.

    Im very passionate about this

    work, and Im having a great time,

    she said last week rom Birming-

    ham, Ala., where she was leading

    a group volunteering at inner-city

    schools. I eel like its a waste o

    time to just sit around when I could

    be doing something thats ullling

    to me as a person and helps some-

    body else. I have the rest o my lie

    to sit around.

    That seems unlikely. The UCF

    senior is not only a double major in

    political science and sociology, but

    she also has minors in womens stud-

    ies and public administration and

    she is student director o Volunteer

    UCF, the group that coordinates the

    alternative spring break trips. She al-

    ready has applied to the Peace Corps

    and, ater graduation, hopes to spend

    two years working in Arica.

    The super-achiever personality is

    typical o todays generation o alter-

    native spring breakers, said Saman-tha Giacobozzi, program director o

    Atlanta-based Break Away, which

    helps match participating colleges

    with eager charities.

    The caliber o student leader-

    ship within these alternative break

    programs is astonishing, she said.

    The ones we meet have tremen-

    dous motivation and interest in so-

    cial justice and the desire to make

    an impact.

    Although Break Away was ound-ed in 1991, Giacobozzi and others

    say the concept o alternative spring

    break really came into its own ater

    Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

    Colleges that already had alter-

    native break programs added trips

    aimed at disaster relie, and colleges

    that lacked such programs began to

    launch them.

    Since then, Giacobozzi said,

    student participation has risen 10

    percent to 15 percent each year. Atthe University o Florida, which has

    won national recognition or its ex-

    tensive volunteerism, students this

    year could choose rom nearly two

    dozen projects, including protecting

    marine lie, educating communities

    about HIV and AIDS and laboring

    alongside impoverished arm work-

    ers.

    the hartford Courant

    HARTFORD, Conn. To Colin

    Carlson, its clearly a case o dis-

    crimination.

    As a double-degree honors stu-

    dent with a 3.9 grade point average

    at the University o Connecticut,

    he was a natural candidate or an

    Arican ecology course oered this

    semester that involved a summer

    eld study in South Arica.

    In act, when he decided to go to

    UConn, it was partly because this

    course particularly addressed his

    interests in the interplay between

    culture and the environment.

    However, Colin, a prodigy, is13 years old. And he believes that

    the proessor who is teaching the

    course turned him down last all

    because o his youth.

    His mother, Jessica Or, oered

    to pay her own way on the trip to

    chaperone Colin and to release the

    university rom any liabili ty, but the

    university response remained a rm

    no.

    Colin, who plans to earn a doctor-

    ate degree and then a law degree,

    said, I you dont eel comortable

    taking a 13-year-old just because you

    dont, then its the same thing as i

    you dont eel comortable having a

    black student on your trip or havinga woman on your trip.

    I you cant teach any student

    that the university deems capable

    o taking your class and teaching

    them, then you shouldnt be teach-

    ing. You cant pick and choose your

    students based on personal com-

    ort, he said.

    Colin and his mother, Jessica O-

    r, contend that the decision violates

    the universitys anti-discrimination

    policy and state and ederal civil

    rights law. The Coventry amily has

    led a complaint with the univer-

    sitys Oce o Diversity and Equity

    and with the U.S. Department o Ed-

    ucations Oce or Civil Rights.

    Mike Kirk, spokesman or theuniversity, said he cant comment

    on cases where litigation may be

    involved. However, he said, when

    it comes to trips abroad, gener-

    ally speaking, student saety is our

    number one concern.

    I his mother accompanies him

    on the trip, Colin doesnt see any

    reason or the university to worry

    about his saety any more than other

    students. Yes, something could

    happen, he said. I could get eaten

    by a lion, but I am at just the same

    risk as any other student.

    I the university believes its un-

    sae or him, Colin said, by that

    logic, no one should be going on the

    trip and UConn should not be oer-ing a study abroad program.

    Colin started taking courses at

    UConn at age 9 and matriculated

    as a reshman last year. He has ex-

    celled at UConn, and proessors who

    have worked with him have nothing

    but praise or both his academic

    talents and his ability to get along

    easily with other students.

    His lawyer, Michael Agrano,

    said that although it appears that

    Colins age was the reason he was

    not allowed into the course, it is

    not clear exactly why his age is a

    problem. Given the act that UConn

    did accept him, said Agrano, Im

    not sure yet what UConns problem

    really is.Ater he was turned down or the

    Arican eld ecology course, Colin

    was admitted to another ecology

    and evolutionary biology course that

    also involves eld study in South

    Arica. But that course ocuses on

    plants rather than animals, which

    are his greater interest. In addi-

    tion, because he applied late or the

    course delayed while waiting to

    hear whether he was accepted intothe Arican eld ecology course

    there was no grant money let. He

    expects that his amily will have

    to pay his way at close to $4,000,

    plus the cost o his mothers travel

    expenses.

    Colin ears now that the univer-

    sity might nd a way to keep him

    rom going on this eld trip, as well.

    Or said, We are willing to do any-

    thing and everything to assuage

    their ears on the liability ront.

    Colin said he also ears that his -

    nancial aid might be in jeopardy.

    Until now, Colin said, his educa-

    tion has gone smoothly at UConn,and he has enjoyed it greatly.

    Id like to say that I am really

    shocked that the university would

    behave this way. I dont go look-

    ing or ghts. Im generally a very

    agreeable person, he said.

    Carl Schlichting, the proessor

    who has agreed to have Colin in

    his class and on the South Arican

    trip, said in an e-mail that he eas-

    ily qualies or inclusion and is a

    ne student.

    Isaac Ortega, the proessor who

    was teaching the class to which Co-

    lin was not admitted, was out o the

    oce and could not be reached or

    comment.Chris Simon, a proessor in the

    department o ecology and evolu-

    tionary biology and Colins adviser,

    said that he is a antastic student

    who asks the kinds o questions

    that usually come rom graduate

    students or a colleague and is very

    mature.

    editorial

    Last weeks weather began to undo some o the

    damage done by the cold, rain and snow o the past

    our months. Most students quickly orgave Mother

    Nature and embraced the outdoors. But on Thursday,several tore themselves away rom the estivities on

    Main Green to attend the State o Brown lecture.

    Those who did were treated to an extremely inorma-

    tive and engaging look at where the University stands

    now and where it is going in the uture.

    Thursdays lecture was the rst State o Brown

    address President Ruth Simmons has delivered

    since 2006. Simmons addressed the Universitys

    internationalization eorts, plans or expansion and

    response to the economic crisis, as well as its identity

    and position relative to other schools. She also took

    students questions, and brought along several other

    top administrators to help provide as detailed answers

    as possible. We thank President Simmons or agree-

    ing to give the talk and speaking candidly, and we

    applaud the Undergraduate Council o Students orarranging the event.

    In deciding whether to hold another State o Brown

    lecture next year, President Simmons and UCS should

    not be discouraged by the low attendance which

    can mainly be attributed to the beautiul weather

    outside. The State o Brown presents a unique op-

    portunity or students and the administration to en-

    gage with one another. The speech should become

    an annual tradition.

    The next several years will be especially chal-

    lenging or the University, as it seeks to recover

    rom the economic downturn while simultaneously

    growing. And with new dorms and expanded gradu-

    ate programs on the agenda, the University could

    very well undergo a surprisingly great amount o

    change in just a ew years. At the very least, our

    years must not be allowed to pass beore the next

    State o Brown address.

    We dont doubt President Simmons willingness

    to give a speech like this more regularly, nor do we

    doubt UCS willingness to arrange it. We mainly

    want to impress upon students that attending the

    State o Brown is extremely worthwhile. Wed evengo so ar as to say its obligatory or those who want

    to be inormed and engaged members o the Brown

    community a community centered on College Hill

    but also including alums across the globe.

    Current students may be primarily concerned with

    Browns consistently strong showing in the Princeton

    Reviews annual student happiness rankings. But as

    alums venturing into a competitive labor market and

    an interconnected globe, well all have reason to be

    equally i not more concerned with how Brown is

    perceived both domestically and internationally. All

    students make a tremendous investment in Brown in

    terms o both time and money, and the State o Brown

    crucially exposes students to the kind o long-range,

    strategic thinking that one sensibly applies when

    considering any big investment.For underclassmen, the need to stay inormed

    about the administrations outlook is particularly

    pressing. At the speech last week, President Sim-

    mons noted that the University must expand and

    improve its graduate school and research capacity

    i it wants to remain competitive with its peers in

    the years to come. But she also expressed her belie

    that the graduate school can grow without aect-

    ing Browns emphasis on undergraduates. Current

    underclassmen will watch this expansion continue

    to unold and will have to be active in ensuring that

    it is mutually benecial.

    We look orward to the next State o Brown ad-

    dress we just hope President Simmons and UCS

    will keep the weather report in mind beore nalizing

    the date.

    correction

    An article in Fridays Herald (Seniors struggle with theses, March

    19) incorrectly stated that the Department o Economics had instituted a

    summer course or rising seniors interested in writing theses. In act, thecourse is being oered this spr ing to juniors.

    An editorial in Fridays Herald (Motion to Table, March 19) incorrectly

    attributed an estimate o potential savings rom phasing out tableslips to Juan

    Vasconez 10. The editorial also incorrectly stated that Vasconez was the

    chair o the Undergraduate Finance Board. In act, the estimate came rom

    Jose Vasconez 10, who is in act chair o the nance board. Juan Vasconez

    is the vice-chair o the nance board. The Herald regrets the errors.
