DESCRIPTION
The November 18, 2003 issue of the Brown Daily HeraldTRANSCRIPT
BY MARSHALL AGNEWThe way to combat homelessness is tostop researching and start taking moreaction, said Kim Hopper, former presi-dent of the National Coalition for theHomeless at a Monday night lecture inLower Salomon.
Hopper, who has spent the last twodecades studying homelessness, saidhe believes too much emphasis isplaced on research and ethnographyand not enough on advances in afford-able housing and work-based pro-grams.
“If there’s one thing I would havedone differently, I would rather havetechnical skills in housing develop-
ment,” said Hopper, who said he nowregrets many of the approaches tohomelessness he advocated in thepast.
Hopper said he primarily regrets thecreation of an “industry of homeless-ness.” By raising awareness of theproblem and advocating programs toassist the homeless, Hopper said hethinks he may have helped create aself-sustaining industry that has yet tomake headway.
He also said he wishes advocates forthe homeless had placed more of anemphasis on affordable housing. “Itwas not wise to make homelessness anemergency social work issue instead ofa housing issue,” he said.
Another “fight we lost was to try andconvince people that poverty had asmuch to do with why people were onthe streets as disabilities,” Hoppersaid. People often associate homele-ness with disability, but poverty is themore pressing issue, he said.
As a result, Hopper said he wisheshe’d advocated for a work-based pro-gram early on instead of an emergencyrelief-based program. In the future, hewould like to see social workers andpoliticians engage in open discourseabout innovative work-based pro-grams.
“Most positions in government areheld by politicians, not by people whoknow what they’re doing,” Hoppersaid, urging students to learn techni-cal skills rather than political skills.
“We know more than we ever need-ed to about how these people survive,”Hopper said. The next step is to findways to make their lives better, hesaid.

Homeless advocate criticizes“industry of homelessness”
“Lock up,”says DPSBY ZACH BARTERThe Department of Public Safety is urgingstudents to lock their doors after a bur-glar struck four Sears House rooms earlySunday morning. Each resident reportedbeing asleep in the room with the doorunlocked at the time of the crime.
Laura Schonmuller ’05, a first-floorSears resident and Alpha Chi Omegamember, said she went to sleep at 4 a.m.and awoke at noon, when she found herkeys, I.D. card-holder and makeup bagmissing. She said the burglar likely mis-took the makeup case for a purse.
Two other members of the sororityawoke to find their purses and walletsmissing, Schonmuller said.
A fourth student reported being wokenup by the burglar, according to a DPS e-mail sent to the campus communityMonday afternoon. The studentdescribed the suspect as a college-agedmale of medium build with short brownhair.
None of the students were injured inthe incidents. DPS is investigating theepisode.
Yannic Fletcher ’05, another Alpha ChiOmega member, said the door to thebuilding had been propped open Sundaynight because the sorority had hosted its“Commando Chi-O” cocktail party.
Although Schonmuller said she usuallylocks her door when leaving the room,she said she went to bed so late that itslipped her mind. She said another victimleft her door unlocked so her sister, whowas visiting, would not be locked out.
“I’m definitely going to be more cau-tious in the future,” Schonmuller said. “Iwould hope that a Brown student would-
DPS on lookout forBrook St. muggersA pair of muggings on Brook Street over theweekend has officers on the lookout for amaroon Toyota Camry with stolen licenseplates and a suspect described as a“scruffy” white male with short black hair.
The Department of Public Safety andProvidence Police Department, which isinvestigating the incidents, are askingBrown community members for help infinding the car, which has Rhode Islandplates VY589.
The campus community learned of theincidents in a DPS e-mail Monday evening.
A woman checking her car at the cornerof Brook and Transit streets just before 9p.m. Saturday night reported that the sus-pect demanded her purse before punchingher in the chest. The suspect then fled inthe vehicle.
PPD also received word of an earliercrime involving the suspect. A suspect ofthe same description was seen fleeing inthe car after stealing a bookbag outsideSquire’s Cleaners at the corner of Brookand Power streets.

Panel exploresreligion andsexualityBY ALEXANDRA BARSKReligious traditions may pervade peo-ple’s views on sexuality, but the moralsthey impart are by no means uniform,said Professor of Religious Studies RossKraemer in the Monday night discussion“A Conversation about Religion andSexuality.”
Kraemer and Associate ChaplainJennifer Rankin led the event, sponsoredby the Interfaith House.
Event coordinator Priya Cariappa ’05asked panelists to explain how theybelieve religion influences people’schoices in determining their sexual prac-tices.
“All religious traditions have ideasabout people’s sexual practices and thesebecome part of the way in which peopleraised in these traditions are broughtup,” Kraemer said, but religions “don’thave a singular thing to say on theseissues.”
She added that religious traditionsdraw on different authorities to deter-mine their views on sexuality. Even with-in Christianity, she said, sex can rangefrom being viewed as a necessary evil tobeing perceived as a good and healthyact when within a proper marriage.
A student asked if the group felt thatengaging in sexual activities outside ofmarriage inhibits or promotes spiritualenlightenment. Michaella Matt ’06responded that many religions teach, “IfGod is in everything and if everything hasa spark of the divine in it, then sex toohas a spark of the divine in it.”
But “that doesn’t mean that every timeyou have a sexual impulse you shouldfollow it,” she said. Rather, “you shouldrefine that sexual impulse and find outwhat is divine in it and with the rightintention you can make it holy.”
Other issues addressed by the groupincluded traditional views of sexuality asthey relate to those in religious service,the obstacles religion poses to homosex-
BY SARAH LABRIEAuthor and professor Vijay Prashad,like many other civic scholars, wasoriginally inspired in his search forpenal justice by the French philoso-pher Foucault. Unlike other academi-cians, however, it was indignance atsome aspects of Foucault’s doctrine —especially his lack of concern for indi-vidual humanity — that inspiredPrashad’s future career as a prisonrights activist.
At a lecture Monday night for theWayland Faculty Seminar and SouthAsian Identity Week in Smith-Buonanno, Prashad recalled askinghimself, “Where are the people? Dopeople matter to him? These are juststructures” after reading Foucault’sfamous study of the justice system,
“Discipline and Punish.”Prashad, a professor at Trinity
College in Hartford and author of sev-eral books, including “Keeping up withthe Dow Joneses,” a critique of theAmerican economy published in 2003,spoke about the relationship betweenan economic underclass and thenation’s prison system.
“Prisons are the people that buildthem, the people that live there,”Prashad said. “The people make theprison come to life. The prison itselfdoesn’t live.”
Prashad centered his lecture on thecomplex social patterns that have ledto an increase in prison populationsrather than the prisons themselves. He

Friday fire atPawtucket milldestroys 13 homes,injures 11 people
Brown students looking north-
ward towards Pawtucket Friday
afternoon could see a smoky
cloud produced by a burning
textile mill.
The blaze injured 11 people,
three of whom were admitted
to Memorial Hospital. Officials
are still investigating the cause
of the fire.
Winds topping 45 miles per
hour hampered fire fighters as
they attempted to halt the
spread of the fire, which start-
ed at 2:45 p.m. in the aban-
doned Greenhalgh Mills com-
plex.
It took fire fighters more
than four hours to control the
fire, which spread both east
and south, fueled by the high
winds.
The fire destroyed 13 homes
and Greenhalgh Mill.
“It would start with an
ember from the roof,” Fire Capt.
Barry Phillips told the
Associated Press.“The house
would be fully engulfed in
three minutes.”
Officials told the Providence
Journal they know the fire
began in the old mill. But they
would not give details about
specifically where or how the
blaze started.
The city of Pawtucket is pro-
viding temporary shelter for
residents who lost their homes
in the fire.

The University will spend nearly $23 million to renovate the Doran-Speidel Building at 70 Ship St.
Local officials join Simmons in recognizingnew downtown biomedical buildingBY MONIQUE MENESESPresident Ruth Simmons, Providence MayorDavid Cicilline ’83 and Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I.,talked up Brown’s new downtown biomedicalcenter, currently under renovation at 70 ShipSt., at a reception for University andProvidence leaders Monday.
Standing on its stripped-bare third floor,Cicilline called the building “the beginning ofa great partnership between Brown andProvidence,” and crucial to the developmentof the city’s new “knowledge-based econo-my.”
The new facility will also create job oppor-tunities in the business, manufacturing andconstruction sectors, said Saul Kaplan, direc-tor of the Rhode Island EconomicDevelopment Corporation.
“This is a key element in Rhode Island’seconomic strategy,” Kaplan said. “We are
redeveloping this site into one to house thejob growth that’s right for Rhode Island.”
Construction crews gutted the building inJuly in the first stage of a $23 million renova-tion project, slated for completion in fall2004.
The building, which Brown purchased for$14.6 million in May, will contain about105,000 square feet of research space for up to150 researchers, according to University pressreleases.
The launch of the renovation represented a“turning point in Brown’s Medical School andthe (Division) of Biology and Medicine,” saidRichard Besdine, interim dean of Biology andMedicine, at the reception.
In the past, space constraints have beenthe “biggest challenge” in hiring faculty andpursuing on-going research efforts in thebiology division and Medical School, Besdine
said. But with the addition of the Ship Streetbuilding, Brown will finally be able to fosterresearch collaborations with neighboringhospitals, he said.
“This will be a place for translating labwork to benefiting issues related to humanhealth,” he said.
Simmons told the group that research col-laborations are essential to promoting thecreativity for which Brown prides itself.
“Brown is about expressing life in a com-munity,” she said.
Following brief speeches, visitors weretaken on a tour of the building’s fifth floor,where construction crews have made themost progress.

painted a tableau of class andwelfare systems, emphasizingfour points he said led to thedevelopment of “the contingentclass,” the lowest rung on thesocioeconomic ladder, and theclass from which most prisonerscome.
“If you’re only angry with thesystem, you’ve already dehu-manized social change,” Prashadsaid.
Prashad implicated decreasesin welfare funding, the increasein repressive and punitive actionby the state, a governmentfocused more and more on cor-porate welfare and the conceptof “personal responsibility” inproducing a U.S. contingentclass.
“The reason the human rightsmovement is so big now is thatpeople believed you could vestrights in the state. The state wasthe vehicle for justice and thedispenser of equity,” Prashad
said. He added that the declineof welfare funds presents a pic-ture that contradicts this viewonce widely held by mostAmericans.
Prashad also argued againstthe myth of “personal responsi-bility,” which he referred to asthe doctrine that says “pull your-self up by your bootstraps.”
“What bootstraps?” Prashadasked. Asserting that every U.S.citizen has an equal chance atsuccess undermines the legacyof slavery and the circumstancesof poor immigrants, Prashadsaid.
“The wealth of this countrywas built on tariffs and enslave-ment,” Prashad said.
Prashad recounted his studiesof trends among individual pris-oners. He found that only 50 per-cent of the prisoners he encoun-tered had been employed andthe other 50 percent made anaverage of less than $10,000 ayear. He added that over sevenmillion children have a parent injail.
Although the war on drugs ledto higher rates of incarceration
for the poor, drugs were just onepotential cause of an inevitableproblem, Prashad said.
“The conventional argumentthat the war on drugs has pro-duced a prison population is agrievous error,” he said.
Drugs became the target ofprisons because they were such aprevalent industry within thecontingent class. Because mem-bers of this socioeconomic groupare unable to sustain themselvesand their families on the meagerincome their minimum wagejobs provide, they turn to nar-cotics, Prashad said.
“They enter the drug economyas a mode of survival,” Prashadsaid, adding the war on drugscould just as easily have had“petty theft” as its target.
“Prison is a form of disciplinenot only for people in jail but forthe entire class,” Prashad said.“The contingent class feeds theprisons.”
Prasad suggested studentsattempt to find a solution to theproblem. He recalled a student atWesleyan once complainingthere were two types of studentson college campuses “communi-ty service students and politicalstudents.”
“The two types disdain eachother,” Prashad said. “The politi-cal students call the communityservice students ‘reformists‚’ andthe community service studentssay their political counterpartsare ‘all talk no action.’”
Prashad proposed the two
groups come together to form acomplete framework for socialactivism and change. Althoughcommunity service studentshave the most direct access tothe contingent class, “communi-ty service work without a clearpurpose is mindnumbing,”Prashad said. On the other hand,“Political students make outra-geous demands on humanitybecause they have no connec-tion to reality.”
Prasad asked the audiencewhat suggestions they mighthave to fix the system. He left theaudience with a proposal andfew words of advice. He said“understanding of the totality ofsocial life to produce radicaldemocracy” is essential to avoidbecoming “a spoksperson forsomebody rather than a humanbeing beside them.”

pulled out his rookie tradingcard.
The list never ends —Patterson: domestic assault,Wells: trespassing, ZachRandolph: underage drinking.Randolph also punchedPatterson in the face in practicelast year, right before the play-offs, breaking his eye socket.With the numerous scuffles andfights, one gets the impressionthat it would be safer walkingthrough Watts then a Blazers’practice session.
But behavior aside, theBlazers are one of the most tal-ented teams in the entire NBA.Wallace, Stoudamire and Wellswere all lottery picks and collegestars. Wallace was an all-star in2000 and 2001, whileStoudamire was named Rookieof the Year in 1996. ZachRandolph is having a breakoutseason and is worthy of an all-star appearance. Here’s animpressive, little-known fact:The Blazers have made the play-offs for 21 consecutive seasons.That’s the longest current streakin the NBA and the secondlongest in NBA history, behindthe Syracuse Nationals who didit for 22 consecutive seasonsfrom 1950-1971. Chances arethat they’ll tie the record this
postseason, which is no smallfeat.
Fans were praising Portlandmanagement for keeping theoff-season arrests total at threelast summer, but they still arecalling for a reassembling of theroster, especially by breaking upthe Wallace-Stoudamire-Wellsnucleus. Wallace is in the lastyear of his contract and could betraded before season’s end,especially with the wayRandolph’s been playing.
While they clearly have somebehavioral issues, there is nodisputing the fact that theseguys can ball. The fans inPortland deserve seeing themget their act together and makea serious run during their 22ndconsecutive playoff appear-ance. And if they can avoid sus-pensions, incarceration anddevastating injuries from inter-squad brawling, I think they cando it.

the Ivy LeagueChampionships, he said.
The 35th-place finish ofAnna Willard ’06, who has heldthe first or second spot for theBears all season, led the wayfor Brown. Her time of 22-minutes, 19 seconds for the 6Kdistance was a personalrecord. Willard said her suc-cess was the result of theteam’s new race plan of goingout faster.
“Usually we go out morerelaxed and then try and passpeople,” Willard said. “Thistime we went out faster. Wehad a workout recently thatwe ran a fast mile and then atempo run and I feel it reallyhelped me during this race.”
Willard’s confidence in herracing strategy translated intoa much better individual per-formance than she had initial-ly expected. Hoping to finisharound the 40th-place range,just behind where she ran atthe Ivy LeagueChampionships, Willard saidshe surprised herself by finish-ing in 35th.
“I thought the field wasmuch tougher than it was at(the HeptagonalChampionships),” Willardsaid. “I was happy with how Ifinished and overall this sea-son, I did what I wanted to.”
Willard was followed byteammate Meredith Crocker’05 in 55th place with a time of22:46. A pack made up ofMichol Monaghan ’07, AnyaDavidson ’06, Caci Cambruzzi’04 and Julie Komosinski ’05closely followed in 66th, 69th,72nd and 73rd, respectively.Captain Kristin Ware ’04rounded out the Brown finish-ers with a 103rd place finish in23:25.

defense, they could not stopMinnesota’s eighth and final goal,scored by Olympian KrissyWendell on the power play. Withonly one minute remaining, KatieGuay ’05, assisted by Link andChristine Holdredge ’07, postedher second goal of the season,ultimately denying the Gophersthe shutout victory.
“Game experience is a learnedbehavior and we are still season-ing our leaders,” said Head Coach
Digit Murphy. “Players are creat-ing enthusiasm and tempo. Weare going to work on playing threeperiods together and let thissnowball to produce the positiveenergy we need down thestretch.”
The setback marked Brown’sthird consecutive loss, as theteam continues to struggle withexecuting its system. The womenwill face Quinnipiac (3-7-0) onTuesday night at the NorthfordIce Pavilion. The Bears beatQuinnipiac 6-1 in their show-down last year and look to snaptheir losing streak with anothervictory over the Bobcats.

Finishing second for theBears was Tarpy in 16th placewith a time of 30:52. He was fol-lowed by Michael DeCoste ’04,Brendan O’Keefe ’04 andEmond, all of whom stayedtogether throughout the race,just as they had done at the IvyLeague Championships.
This time, despite Brown’sfailure to beat PC, the duo ofDeCoste and O’Keefe made sureevery last measure was taken inthe final 200 meters of the race.Unsure if their individual placeswould be enough to defeat theFriars, DeCoste and O’Keefe,seeing two PC runners in thelast straightaway, took off andfought to finish just stepsahead. As a result, Brownearned spots 23 and 24 whilethe Friars took 25 and 26. Thefour-point difference, however,was not enough for the Bears tocatch PC and qualify for nation-als.
“We knew we had to beat PCman-to-man to boost ourchances of beating them as ateam,” DeCoste said. “Wethought we had them but theirthird guy was just up too far. Weclosed the gap a little but notenough.”
Despite their frustration withnot advancing to nationals, themen will be cheering on theirteammate from afar asGaudette competes on Nov. 24at Byrnes Park in Iowa. The racewill consist of 255 competitors,including 31 teams and 38 indi-viduals.
“It’s going to be difficult,”Gaudette said. “Traveling withthe team takes the stress off, butI just have to relax and makesure I remember to have fun. Wedeserve to be there as a teamand hopefully I’ll show themwhy Brown should be there inthe first place.”

Students at riskAs Brown students nestled in their dorm rooms late Sunday night,
they were blissfully unaware of the dangers they faced. Just 24 hours
earlier, on Saturday night, an unidentified male entered four
unlocked dorm rooms on Wriston Quad, undeterred by the students
sleeping inside. The intruder stole items from three of the rooms and
bolted from the building when a student awoke in the fourth room.
But students didn’t know about the disturbing incident until late
Monday afternoon — almost two days after the break-ins — when
the Department of Public Safety finally released the crime report to
the community. In the more than 36 hours before students were
notified, another evening passed. And it most likely was another
evening during which Brown students slept with their doors
unlocked, free from worries about midnight intruders.
There’s no doubt that students should lock their doors while they
sleep, but it’s obvious that they don’t necessarily do so, assuming no
one would dare to enter a room while they were in it. Tonight many
more students will no doubt sleep with their doors locked. But DPS
could have allowed another crime to occur by waiting more than a
day-and-a-half to notify the community.
DPS exists to serve the community by both responding to crimes
and preventing them from occurring. But by waiting for regular busi-
ness hours to release the all-important crime report to students, staff
and city residents, DPS is taking unnecessary risks with the safety of
its charges.
Unlike the Providence Police, DPS, as a private police force, is not
required to release information about crimes to the press. That
makes crime reports, sent via e-mail, students’ only way of finding
out that crime has occurred on campus. The Herald — or anyone
else, for that matter — should be able to find out all crimes that have
occurred in their neighborhood or building simply by asking DPS. By
refusing to provide that information 24 hours a day, seven days a
week, DPS is standing in the way of students’ ability to protect them-
selves.
Everyone needs a weekend. But the simple act of notifying the
community via e-mail and perhaps protecting just one more person
seems to outweigh the benefit of an afternoon on the couch.

WHEN YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOclue about what’s going on in the world,you praise whatever higher power youbelieve in and thank It for the Internet.Going immediately to CNN.com, I see avery distressing headline: “ArnoldSchwarzenegger has been sworn in asgovernor.” I guess this makes it official.Maybe it was just me, but did anybodyelse have a little glimmer of hope in theback of their minds that this whole recallthing was some sort of elaborate prankby the morning DJ team in L.A. or some-thing? You know, you watch the inaugu-ration and Ashton Kutcher comes outwith that smile that says, “Havingsex with someone old enough tobe my mom has made me into atabloid whore.” (By the way,Ashton, just ask Anna NicoleSmith how well that strategyworks out in the long run; infive years you’ll be doing areality show on E! whosesole redeeming factor isthe recurring joke thatyou’re too fat/lazy to liftyourself out of bed.) Butback to the inauguration… Ashton then goes upto Arnold and says,“You’ve been Punk’d.” Atthat point they hug,Arnold laughs, sane peo-ple throughout the worldshed quiet tears of happiness,
and the integrity of the republic is saved.Imean despite all of the Monica Lewinskysand the like, I have always maintained aperhaps naive faith in our governmentalsystem, but this whole recall/ArnoldSchwarzenegger election really shakesme. (I’m also concerned that my spellcheck accepts Schwarzenegger as a word.What is this world coming to?) This isn’t aDemocrat or Republican thing for me; it’sjust a common sense thing. It’s one ofthose things where you just want to bangyour head on a table until you haveenough brain trauma to understand whysomeone would do such a thing. My onlyhope is that the geological forces that are
slowly pulling California off of main-land America will accelerate about amillion-fold so that we can hope towish Arnold bon voyage in a few
months. To all Californians whowill have to take that journeywith him (and in Brown termsthat means the varsity waterpolo teams), I honestly doapologize. I really do likeall of you (especially thoseof you in the suizzle), but Idon’t think I can ever for-give a state that elects ajuiced up misogynist as
governor, unless it’sMinnesota … because I feelbad for Minnesotans …
because they have to live in Minnesota. Alright, so maybe that last paragraph
was a little harsh. I urge everyone to for-ward any complaints/ass kickings theymay have to Jamie Sholem; he’s thebrains behind this whole California-bashing operation (thank you to my loyalroommate for ever being my scapegoatand not minding that I keep our roomlooking like a shantytown). Come tothink of it, though, California definitelyhas redeeming factors. The greatest ofthese is most certainly “The O.C.” “TheO.C.” is one of those things in your weekthat you are always looking forward to:like weekends, the TGIF lineup circa 1991or Thursday hip-hop nights at theUndergound (oh wait they stopped beingopen on Thursday … Damn the man!) Itcomes from the “Saved By the Bell” moldof quality television: you don’t know whyit’s so good — it just is.
As I see it, there are three groups in theworld: 1) There are those who watch “TheO.C.” religiously. (I think most of them
watch it in my room.) To you enlight-ened few I say huzzah … or some mod-ern translation of it. You are part of therevolution. You realize true genius whenyou see it. 2) There are those who don’treally know about “The O.C.” Well nowyou know and knowing is half the battle.The other half is tuning in Wednesdaynight at 9 p.m. Come to my room if youdon’t have a TV — you’re all invited …there’s plenty of room to sit on Jamie’sbed. 3) This last group consists of thosewho have watched “The O.C.” and notenjoyed it. These are the ones who reallyconfuse/shock me the most. You peoplemake no sense to me. I have come to theconclusion you are the ones who electedArnold Schwarzenegger.
Anyway, like the rest of the civilizedworld I will be sitting down on Wednesdayto watch the twists and turns in the livesof young Ryan, Seth, Summer andMarissa, and I suggest that you all do thesame. And as long as “The O.C.” doesn’tget cancelled, California will remain in mygood graces. And I know that staying inmy good graces is the goal of all states.
WITHIN THE NEXT TWO YEARS, 77 per-cent of the United States Air Force’s enlistedmen and women will face a choice: theycan either re-enlist and continue their serv-ice under the conditions available to them,or they can exit the forces for the relativesafety of civilian life. The deci-sion will be a personal one forevery soldier involved, and itwould be impossible for anycivilian commentator to saywhat each soldier can — orshould — do.
Ensuring successfulrecruitment and retentionwithin the services is a neces-sity in the successful execu-tion of any military venture.We, as Americans, are luckyenough to live in a countrythat cannot force anyone toserve for an indefinite periodof time. However, this freedom presents uswith a clear, perpetual challenge: We mustdeal with the fact that our military, in thelong term, will only be as strong as the trustsoldiers and potential recruits can place inthe government that employs them.
It was troubling, then, when the Bushadministration last week confirmed it willnot earmark a cent of seized or frozen Iraqifunds to repay 17 tortured early-1990sAmerican prisoners of war who had beengranted monetary recompense from theIraqi government in American courts. TheWhite House’s response, that “there is sim-ply no amount of money that can truly
compensate these brave men and womenfor the suffering that they went through atthe hands of Saddam Hussein’s brutalregime,” is laughable from a legal stand-point. If, for example, a hospital accidental-ly gave my child the wrong medicine and
killed him, no amount of moneycould “truly compensate” me formy loss. But I would still be enti-tled to monetary restitution, andno court in the nation woulddeny that. The practice of pay-ing previously awarded judg-ments with the seized assets of adefunct estate is commonplace.As the United States govern-ment is now in control of theseized assets, it is fully within itspower to use them to help paythe veterans. But it will not. Thisis one incident that affects ahandful of soldiers, but it is just
another drop in the steady stream of disre-spect that has been eroding the feeling oftrust and appreciation necessary to main-tain healthy recruitment and retention.
In an earlier column, I discussed the factthat this year House Republicans sought a$15 billion cut in appropriations for veteranbenefits and a $14.5 billion cut in veteranbenefit entitlements. I also discussed the“concurrent receipts” exception, whichrobs many disabled veterans of a portion oftheir pensions. At the time, the Bushadministration and the Republican leader-ship opposed repealing the exception, butearlier this month, the House finally passeda bill correcting the problem. Undeniably,this is a step in the right direction, despite
the fact that the benefits are inexplicablyphased in slowly over the course of tenyears – perhaps to avoid having to pay thepensions to ailing World War II veterans.But no administration should have to bedragged kicking and screaming to pay fullmilitary pensions, and no governmentshould drag its feet to correct such a mis-take.
Most troubling, of course, is the occupa-tion of Iraq. A recent Nation article coveredMilitary Families Speak Out, a growing anti-war-in-Iraq group of family members ofservicemen and –women. The articlequotes one e-mail sent to the group by awoman, herself an Iraq veteran, whose hus-band is still stationed in the country: “Itsickens me every time I see news articlesquoting dignitaries coming from [Iraq] say-ing, ‘the soldiers are in good spirits,’ ‘themorale is high.’ I’m here to tell you, it’s alllies. Morale is at an all-time low. ... As muchas I love the military, when this enlistmentis up, I’m running so fast for the civilianborder, as is my husband.”
The question of re-enlistment loomslarge, and the only solution offered so far
may only exacerbate the problem: Earlierthis month, the Pentagon added 43,000more reservists and National Guard troopsand 20,000 Marines to the rotation. In arecent discussion with Salon.com, retiredUniversity of Missouri military historyprofessor Jerry Cooper noted the Marineshave intentionally not been involved in amajor nation-building effort in 70 years.This is unsurprising — the Marines arecapable, dedicated soldiers trained andprepared for intense military strikes anddefense. They are not and have not beentrained to be police officers. The newMarine deployment is the national securi-ty equivalent of an understaffed, layoff-plagued office where the chief program-mer is forced to also act as the receptionistto save money — it’s not extremely effec-tive, and the programmer probably isn’tgoing to like it.
Maintaining a strong military is neces-sary for the security of a nation of our sizeand stature. Until we reclaim respect for oursoldiers as more than just a rhetoricaldevice, that strong military will be far fromguaranteed in future years.
Earning soldiers’ trust is key for U.S. military’s success

Jeff Gaudette ’05 (top row, far left) finished fourth at the Northeast Regional Championships, while the team finished third overall.
BY LEXI COSTELLOThe women’s ice hockey team dropped twogames to the undefeated MinnesotaGophers in a weekend series at MeehanAuditorium, losing 5-2 on Saturday andsuffering an 8-1 blowout on Sunday after-noon.
The opening match-up found the Bears’defensive zone unprepared for Minnesota’simmediate attack, as the Gophers scoredtheir first goal within five minutes of play.While the Bears tied up the game with aseason-debut goal from forward KeatonZucker ’06, assisted by Jessica Link ’05, theGophers’ offense answered back with theirsecond goal of the game only 20 secondslater. The powerhouse continued to domi-nate the period with their speed and pass-ing game, tacking on another three goals inthe first for a 4-1 lead.
“You have to be playing your sharpestgame to compete with the best team in thecountry, and, mentally, we were not there,”Zucker said. “When you let them steal yourconfidence, it’s hard to regain control ofyour game.”
Brown came out a more intense team inthe second, breaking through theMinnesota defense by rushing and break-ing out the puck more efficiently. The
Bears’ defense stepped it up as well, con-trolling the Gophers’ shots from the pointand finding their marks. Still, the Gopherswere able to widen the deficit with theirfifth and final goal at the 7:38 mark.
Going into the third trailing by fourgoals, the Bears found their signaturegame 40 minutes too late. Brown penetrat-ed the Minnesota defensive zone with bet-ter control of the puck, strong shots fromthe point by Myria Heinhuis ’06 and per-haps most notably, the mental edge. Thisintensity paid off halfway through theperiod with a goal from forward KerryNugent ’05, her first of the season, assistedby Zucker.
“We need to learn how to play three hardperiods,” Nugent said. “We have been wait-ing until the second to let teams know thatwe are a solid team that is capable of play-ing tough defense and powerful offense.”
Bruno was unable to carry its third peri-od momentum over to the showdown onSunday afternoon, as Minnesota scored itsfirst goal only 47 seconds into play. TheBears played poorly down low and failed tocover the rushes from the point. TheGophers capitalized on these weaknesses,adding another three goals for a 4-0 lead bythe end of the first.
“Hockey is a mental game, and we justdidn’t show up to play,” said Co-CaptainKelly Sheridan ’04. “Whenever we tookaway their space and played them tight,the game was evened. The weekend taughtus that we need to come to play from thefirst drop of the puck.”
The Bears entered the second periodwith some adjustments in the lineup in aneffort to reverse the momentum of thegame. Marie-Pier Desbiens ’07 relievedgoalie and Captain Katie Germain ’04 forher career debut in net, posting 15 saves in40 minutes. While both teams were rela-tively quiet in the first half of the secondperiod, Minnesota’s offense reawakened,sniping three goals in five minutes.Olympian Natalie Darwitz earned a hattrick scoring Minnesota’s seventh goal atthe 17:35 mark.
Once again, Brown found itself trailingits opponent going into the third, anunderhand position all too familiar to theBears, who were battling this disadvantagefor the third time in only four games. Whilethe girls once again played their strongestperiod last, breaking out more offensiverushes and playing solid man-to-man
BY MELISSA PERLMANJeff Gaudette ’05 will be making thecross-country trip to Cedar Falls, Iowa,alone. Gaudette finished fourth at theNortheast Regional Championships inBoston, qualifying for nationals as anindividual, but the Brown team finishedthird, just 21 points shy of qualifying forthe National Championships.
The men, however, are walking awayfrom a historic season filled with suc-cesses. The Bears won the Ivy LeagueChampionship for the first time inBrown’s history, finished second at theNew England Championships and a closethird at last weekend’s regional meet. Themen also have had their share of individ-ual triumphs including a victory at NewEnglands by Pat Tarpy ’05, where he alsoset a new school record, and last week-end’s 30:10 national qualifying perform-ance by Gaudette.
Gaudette has spent the last two
months cross-training in the pool and onthe bicycle. He said it was a combinationof confidence gained from a strong sum-mer of base training and his focus on thelast meets of the season that kept his goalof advancing to nationals in sight.
“I just made sure that I did everythingright this season,” Gaudette said. “I min-imized errors during competition as wellas outside of running. I also put off theearly meets which made me work harderand want it more.”
Gaudette used his strategy and fifth-place finish at the HeptagonalChampionships as motivation during hisregional race.
“There was a group of three guys ataround mile three that made a surge,”Gaudette said. “I debated for a secondwhether I should go with them or not.But the same thing happened at Hepswhen (Steve) Sundell (of Columbia) put asurge on me and I regretted not going
with him. So this time I went.”Gaudette’s decision paid off. Initially
nervous about whether he would be ableto stay with the front group, he success-fully held on to his position and finishedjust 10 seconds behind the third placerunner.
Brown finished third out of 33 teamswith a score of 94 points, 36 behind No. 4Iona and 21 behind Providence College.The Bears knew it would be a tough fightgoing into the highly competitive meet,but battled their competitors over theentire 10K distance.
“We knew PC and Iona were very goodteams, but we had to give it a shot,” saidTeam Captain Matt Emond ’04. “We knewit was going to take more than it did towin Heps, which took a lot, but (Coach)John (Gregorek) set up a race plan and wefigured we’d give it everything we had.”
BY MELISSA PERLMANIntent on meeting its potential, thewomen’s cross country team arrived atthe Northeast Regional Cross CountryChampionships set on pushing thepace and going out aggressively.
The Bears met the challenge and fin-ished seventh out of 36 teams, with 297points. They lost to Ivy League squadsColumbia, Dartmouth and Yale butconvincingly defeated Harvard by 100points.
“We bounced back as far as compet-ing against people we should havecompeted against at Heps,” said CoachRick Wemple. “We crushed Harvardand even though we didn’t beatCornell, I’m pretty confident that wewould have beaten Penn in head-to-head competition.”
Wemple attributes Brown’s improve-ment from the Heptagonal RegionalChampionships to going out aggres-sively in the first part of the race. Thestrategy allowed the Bears to run aheadof athletes who slowed them down at

Off the court, these guys are wild.This column unfortunately can’t fittheir entertaining rap sheets, so here’sall you need to know.
