During the winter interim period, Ezra Toback ’14 roamed Tokyo and its surroundings, interviewing priests and collecting materials at over 15 sacred sites. Toback’s travels, funded by the College’s office of undergraduate advising and research, formed an integral part of his Asian and Middle

Eastern studies thesis, which looks at the ways in which Japanese shrines and temples market themselves to members of various socioeconomic classes.

B y SERA KWON and roshan dutta A two-hour blackout left students and faculty in the dark on Monday, the first day of winter classes. After trudging through the slush to arrive at class, students were forced to read their syllabi by the light of their cellphones’ flashlights while professors had to improvise without lecture slides. The outage, caused by a faulty power line at Liberty Utilities, the College’s electricity provider, affected approximately 65 College buildings, said associate vice president

of Facilities, Operations and Management Frank Roberts. It stretched from 9:52 a.m. to 11:55 a.m. Although Liberty Utilities initially forecast that the problem would be resolved by 11 a.m., only buildings on the northern part of campus had received power by that time. Businesses and homes in downtown Hanover were also included in the tally of the 143 Liberty Utilities customers who lost power, company spokesperson John Shore said. While heating in residence halls and class-

rooms was largely undisturbed, telephone and Inter net access were affected, Roberts said. Some professors cancelled class due to the weather, but many taught without functioning lights, computers or projectors. Experiencing his first power outage after six year s at Dartmouth, Arabic professor Mostafa Ouajjani was unable to use his PowerPoint slides in his morning class, but said it did not prevent him from teaching. He added, however, that the outage SEE OUTAGE PAGE 3

Seniors travel for thesis Power outage darkens main campus research during break FROM OUTAGE PAGE 1

from the daily bustle of campus. Students’ main source of funding was the office of undergraduate advising and research, which finances research across disciplines. Of the 42 student research grants that students received in the fall, 25 supported seniors working on honors theses, according to director of undergraduate advising and research Margaret Funnell. Among the seniors receiving grants, 14 planned to use them during the interim. Each receiving up to $2,000 in funding, students traveled as far as Brazil, Tanzania, England and South Korea. The grant selection process examines how much the student’s advisor supports his or her research as well as the project’s feasibility, Funnell said. The 42 students who received grants were selected from a pool of 48 applicants. In Miami, Jessica Womack ’14 investigated connections between the work of four Cuban artists and the acceptance of black people in the early 20th century. Although Womack initially intended to do her research in Cuba for her thesis in art history, the government shutdown this fall prevented her from obtaining the necessary travel clearance. Regardless, she said her trip to Miami was a success, and noted the depth of available resources. “I was there at a really good time,� Womack said. “People in Miami were looking toward the artists that I wanted to look at.� The length of the interim was ideal, said Womack, as she was able to see her family, do research and decompress. The College funded Womack’s trip, as well as another to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic last year, through the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Program, which aims to raise minority representation in academia by increasing the diversity of students pursuing doctoral degrees.

The Rockefeller Center also gave money to seniors for interim research. This fall, the center provided 12 seniors with amounts ranging from $250 to $1,000, according to professor Ronald Shaiko. Subject-specific sources of funding include the Institute for Arctic Studies and the Leslie Center for the Humanities, as well as individual academic departments. Louis Wheatley ’14 also took time over interim to conduct research for his history thesis. Funding from undergraduate advising and research allowed him to travel to Buenos Aires and Los Angeles, where he studied themes of motherhood in anti-war movements. He discovered that organizations such as Another Mother for Peace and Madres de Plaza de Mayo avoided allegations of being anti-patriotic by embracing themes of motherhood. While Wheatley had not originally planned to travel over the break, he said it was a productive trip. “It ultimately kept me focused on my thesis and pushed me to keep moving forward with my research and writing during the long break,� Wheatley said. Katie Gougelet ’14, who also received a grant from the office of undergraduate advising and research, traveled to Montgomery, W. Va., to do research for her environmental studies thesis. Through interviews with residents, Gougelet investigated health disparities present in communities affected by mountaintop removal mining. She compared their experiences with the common narratives describing them in fiction and media. Her interim research followed a term of research in Hanover, in preparation for the trip. Gougelet anticipates continuing this work after graduation. “If you spend a year learning about an issue, going into these communities and talking to these people,� she said, “you have a certain obligation to continue to work with them.�

I’ve been unusually interested in New Year’s resolutions these past few weeks, since they can be used to not only better oneself but also the entire community. In this spirit, I’d like to encourage Dartmouth students to support small businesses in Hanover. They are vital to both local economies and the U.S. economy as a whole and need increased support from consumers to compete with large corporations. From the perspective of employment, small businesses are crucial to the character of the U.S. economy. According to Forbes, small businesses account for 60 to 80 percent of American jobs. Additionally, the jobs that small businesses provide are usually more secure than those provided by large corporations. Rather than answering to a faceless corporation, a small business employee works directly with the business owner. Thanks to close employer-employee relations, small businesses foster better work MV^QZWVUMV\[ 1\ Q[ LQNÅK]T\ \W QUIOQVM I small business’ employees being treated, say, like Walmart employees, who took to the streets nationwide this September to protest inadequate wages and working conditions.

Nationally, the proliferation of chain stores has transformed small towns for the worse by bankrupting local businesses. My family saw this happen in the town of Williamsburg, Va., the home of the College of William and Mary. Once a colonial college town, Williamsburg is now a college town in the center of spreading suburban sprawl. While I doubt this drastic change will happen to Hanover anytime soon, students should feel responsible for the town’s future. In addition to keeping Main Street unique, Hanover’s small businesses expand the range of goods and services offered in town. Whereas Barnes and Noble’s corporate leaders dictate what each franchise sells, local bookstores have greater autonomy, resulting in dynamic selections. Supporting local stores prevents the increasing conformity that results when corporations gain more power to dictate what products [PW]TL JM I^IQTIJTM <PM LQ^MZ[QĂ…KI\QWV WN products also provides the consumer the ability to purchase items that support his or her varying philosophy.

An external hire can bring change to campus without any prior allegiance or bias, Evans said. The disadvantage of selecting an external candidate is that the search committee has access to only what papers and interviews reveal about candidates, Evans said. Internal candidates already understand campus culture, which may help them in the selection process.

Yet the distinction between internal and external candidates is not all-encompassing, according to Barden. “There are certainly plenty of examples of internal candidates who have made some real changes,” he said. “And there are plenty of examples of external candidates who didn’t change anything.” In searches for college adminQ[\ZI\WZ[ KIVLQLI\M[ IZM R]LOML on a variety of criteria, including XI[\ IKKWUXTQ[PUMV\[ Å VIVKQIT [W phistication and personal qualities such as trustworthiness, Dowdall said.

Dual-enrollment programs, allowing high school students to receive college credit for their coursework, are also important, Holcombe said. “This could help kids who might not have otherwise gone to college to try and see that they can do the work, and think about how to best take advantage of opportunities given to them,” she said. Holcombe emphasized the importance of preparing students for a changing world and ensuring \PMa IZM ZMILa \W Å VL RWJ[ QV IV evolving economy. She proposes better integrating technology into curricula and preparing students to adapt to a changing workforce. In terms of measuring achievement, Holcombe said that standardized testing serves a valuable purpose but is only “one tool in our toolkit,” and that new ways must be found to capture aspects of learning that the tests cannot adequately measure. She added that schools need

proper incentives, like grants, to improve teaching and curricula. The Children’s Literacy Foundation, for example, encourages Vermont and New Hampshire elementary schools to apply for grants of up to $25,000, which provide literacy programming and children’s books. The grant’s purpose is to supplement existing literacy programs at schools where high percentages of students score below state standards on language arts tests.

Vermont needs to strategically target resources in order to ensure that state taxpayers are getting the most value for their dollar, Holcombe said.

A dancer stands motionless on stage. He is the clock. First, one dancer appears and performs a gesture. And another, then a third. Others emerge, an accumulation of “people, ideas, clothes” on stage, Janet Wong said, associate artistic director at Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company. She is describing “Continuous Replay,” one of three repertor y pieces that the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company will perform at the Hopkins Center on Tuesday and Wednesday. The inspirations for the dance, a beautiful manipulation of form and space, include avant-garde and post-modern dance, martial arts and personal tragedy. The piece, originally choreographed in 1977 by Zane, a co-founder of the company, was later re-adapted by Jones after Zane passed away from AIDS-related causes in 1988. Many of the company’s pieces will challenge audiences’ expectations for dance, Hop programming director Margaret Lawrence said. Jones, she said, was one of the first choreographers to explore dance’s political power. Jones and Zane did so at a particularly charged time in American history — the HIV/AIDS epidemic of the 1980s and 1990s. “[Jones] took a very strong stand as an individual as a gay man, as a black man, as an American,” Lawrence said.

Dunne aims to grow the Northern Stage’s presence in the region.

Former theater professor Carol Dunne doesn’t mind a full plate. In her first season as artistic director at White River Junction’s Northern Stage theater, she directed “White Christmas,” helped organize a play reading festival and announced a capital campaign to build a new theater. Wasting no time to address the Northern Stage’s recent financial woes, she has spearheaded outreach programs to boost attendance at the Northern Stage and sought out new ways to encourage collaboration between the theater and the College. Dunne said she hopes to make the Northern Stage “a breeding ground for creativity” and has turned to professional contacts at Dartmouth to achieve her goal. The theater’s first production this season, Reginald Rose’s “Twelve Angry Men,” featured performances by theater professors Jamie Horton and Christian Kohn and lighting design by theater professor Dan Kotlowitz. Theater professor Laurie Kohn designed costumes for the second production, “God of Carnage.” Dunne also plans to recruit alumni and current students and give them the chance to intern or work in a professional theater. This term, Amber Porter ’14 and Chris Gallerani ’15 are interning at the Northern Stage. Olivia Scott ’13 began a full-time position on the theater’s community engagement team last spring.

“My dream is that the Northern Stage helps Dartmouth students become skilled in the profession, not just to study and learn, but an actual occupation so that they can have a real impact,” Dunne said. In the months ahead, the Northern Stage will try to build its existing relationship with the College. In January, the theater will host its first play reading festival, including original work by visiting playwriting professor Joseph Sutton ’76 and Kate Mulley ’05. Dunne will direct the third play of the festival, by local playwright Marisa Smith. The theater also hopes to boost student attendance at its shows by offering students $10 “anytime” tickets to attend productions. With a capacity of 240 seats, student tickets will still offer exceptional stage views, Dunne said. Dunne’s efforts so far seem fruitful, as over 100 students attended the “Twelve Angry Men” production, a jump from the handful of student attendees at past shows, Dunne said. On average, show attendance is up this season, with over 1,000 unique new visitors to the theater during the fall. Scott described Dunne as an “enthusiastic, fearless, down to earth and extremely relatable” person who takes on new projects with enthusiasm and produces measurable results. “She’ll tell you what you want, and you’re able to go do it,” Scott said. Horton said the Dunne’s ambitious vision at the Northern Stage will provide rich opportunities for students, faculty and staff going forward.

Squash teams pick up wins over break

The Dartmouth men’s and women’s squash teams each won one match over winter break, with the men defeating No. 14 U.S. Naval Academy and the women taking down No. 10 Franklin & Marshall College. A 1-2 interim allowed the men to hold onto their No. 10 ranking while a 1-1 break kept the women at No. 8 in the nation. Both teams opened their seasons against Harvard University, whose women’s and men’s teams are ranked first and second in the nation, respectively, on Dec. 3. The Big Green teams were outmatched by their rivals from Cambridge — both fell 9-0. On the men’s side, only Michael Mistras ’15 and Bayard Kuensell ’15 won games. In his collegiate debut, Glen Brickman ’17 beat Crimson sophomore Sam Goldberg at the No. 10 spot. His victory, however, did not count toward the overall score, as only competitors in the first nine spots count toward match scoring. The women fared no better against the top-ranked Crimson, with only Melina Turk ’14, Oona Morris ’15 and Tori Dewey ’16 winning games. Players used the matches to set high goals, Kate Nimmo ’14 said. “We noticed that our level of

fitness was equal to theirs, but some technical things set them apart,” she added Freshmen said they enjoyed starting their college careers with tough competition. “I could see the level of squash playing that could be achieved,” said Jackie Barnes ’17, who played in the number one spot against Harvard. After the home match, both teams traveled to Lancaster, Pa. The women enjoyed a strong 8-1 victory against the Franklin & Marshall’s No. 13 team while the men suffered a 7-2 loss to the No. 6 Diplomats. For the women, Barnes was the only team member to lose, falling in four games in the number one spot. While the top three matches M`\MVLML \W NW]Z IVL NQ^M OIUM[ the Big Green women shellacked the Diplomats’ players in spots four through nine to pull away for the win. “Everyone was playing very well, and it was a nice first win of the season,” Nimmo said. “We have quite a few matches that are away this season so the trip made ][ UWZM M`KQ\ML NWZ \PM NM_ PWUM matches we do have.” The men, however, did not fare as well. Only Chris Jung ’14 and Mark Funk ’15 pulled out wins.

Funk rallied after dropping the first two games to take the match in five. Five of nine Dartmouth men won games and virtually all games camedown to a few points. The following day, the Big Green traveled to Annapolis, Md., to take on the Midshipmen. They clinched their first win of the season in a close 5-4 match. Funk, Mistras, James Fisch ’16, Fletcher Pease ’14 and Jung picked up wins. The match was crucial, Jung said, because the teams are so closely matched both on the court and in the rankings. “Navy is always a couple spots behind us, so it’s usually a must-win match,” he said. During the men’s matches, the women played an unofficial scrimmage against the junior varsity Navy men. “It was a really fun match since it was low key, and going to the Naval Academy is a very cool M`XMZQMVKM º 6QUUW [IQL The squash teams return to the courts this weekend at home for matches against highly-ranked teams from the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton University.

Varsity athletes seem to get a lot of perks: free TruMoo, private yoga classes and a wardrobe of Nike or New Balance gear. But when nonathletes return to campus refreshed after the lengthy interim, they contrast sharply with varsity players, many of whom spent the break practicing and playing with their \MIU[ )\PTM\M[ PI^M TQ\\TM Æ M`QJQTQ\a to travel, get internships or spend time with family at home. Between training trips, holiday tournaments and Hanover workouts, athletes don’t end up getting much of a break. With grueling trainings surrounded by fellow students, some athletes felt like they barely got a chance to escape the Dartmouth bubble. The College’s academic calendar differs from that of the Big Green’s competitors — most of which have winter breaks that fall in January. Dartmouth athletes, then, must practice and compete during the December break. From the outside, it’s easy to envy the chance to travel with friends to a tropical destination, J]\ \PM[M \MIU[ [IKZQÅ KML \QUM I\ home, which for us is priceless.

Men’s hockey played seven games, including a tournament at Thompson Arena. Men’s basketball team tallied nine games, many on the road. Some of these matchups — such as the men’s basketball game at the University of Illinois, the women’s basketball game against DePaul University and the men’s hockey game against the U.S. Air Force Academy — could not have happened during the regular school year.
