Students in a new environmental policy workshop will learn the tools necessary to conduct research on environmental issues while preparing to present their findings to the Vermont and New Hampshire legislatures. The course, launched by the Rockefeller Center and the environmental studies department, will serve as a prerequisite for students hoping to continue their projects in the Policy Research Shop. Workshop professor Michael Cox said the course guides students

through the basics of environment-based social science research and helps them for mulate research proposals based on requests from public officials. One potential project from the Vermont legislature includes an analysis of lakeshore development policies with the goal of improving water quality. Prior to the course’s introduction, students could choose between two courses that qualified them to join the Policy Research Shop, both of which focused on state and local government. This course is the first to focus on a specific policy

After last year’s successful pilot program, the Student and Presidential Committee on Sexual Assault announced an expansion of a grant program that will fund research focused on reducing instances of sexual assault on college campuses. The SPCSA’s Elizabeth A. Hoffman grants will provide

each recipient with $750 per term for up to two terms of research. SPCSA vice president Gus Ruiz Llopiz ’14 said the project aims to encourage the investigation of topics that currently lack adequate research. Recipients will present their findings at the SPCSA’s annual symposium this spring. The SPCSA will support as (%%!/+0/,&"#$%&M

area and was added due to student interest in environmental policy, Cox said. The 11 enrolled students will be divided into three or four teams, each of which will develop a project based on requests from Vermont and New Hampshire policy makers. Sustainability director Rosi Kerr said she was excited to see a partnership between the public policy and environmental studies programs and added that the workshop would provide students with practical experience.

Five of nine Panhellenic Council executives will abstain from sorority recruitment this winter. Forgoing recruitment for one ter m, participating executives said, could provide the council with time to develop policy to improve the Greek system internally. Their abstention also aims to shed light on socioeconomic and racial inequalities that several executives say pervade the Greek system.

“Our act is not meant to be a call for the end of the Greek system, or a way to blame sororities for [the] problems that exist,” Panhell president Eliana Piper ’14, who will abstain from recruitment, said in an emailed statement. “Rather, after over a year in our positions, we’ve noticed that there’s a culture of silence around issues and an inability to get to the root of the problems to try and make long-term solutions.”

Panhell execs. to abstain from rush 7*65%*+!,"--.!"#$%3

The statement aims to increase discussion in the Greek system about socioeconomic, race and gender issues, said Kate Shelton ’14, a Panhell programming chair who will also abstain. These issues are often pushed aside during recruitment as members seek to draw potential new members to their houses, she said. Winter recruitment is scheduled for next week. By abstaining from recruitment, Panhell vice president Michelle Khare ’14 said she hopes to shed light on problems within the Greek system, including sexual assault, alcohol abuse, racism, sexism and classism. “We morally don’t feel comfortable putting more people into a system like this,” Khare said. Each year, Panhell executives spend two out of their three terms in leadership focused on recruitment. Without winter recruitment, the council could have more time to develop policy. “We need time to focus on these issues before we can allow more women to enter the system,” Jennifer Gargano ’14, the council’s vice president of public relations, said. Gargano will also abstain from recruitment. Two executives confirmed that many women who drop out of the recruitment process cite financial reasons for doing so.

If the College is going to be supportive of Greek life, it must ensure that the system is financially inclusive, Khare said. Based on fall 2012 figures, the most recent available data, new member sorority dues average $482 wet and $457 dry, while general chapter dues average $304 wet and $281 dry for subsequent terms. For the past year, Panhell has

developed a scholarship program to support women who would like to join sororities but do not have the financial means to do so. Centralizing a scholarship system through Panhell would make alumni donations tax deductible and simplify the process by sidestepping the different regulations held by national sororities, Piper said. Addressing issues of racism

within the Greek system is also crucial, abstaining Panhell executives said. Across houses, women of color disproportionately choose to go inactive or disassociate, Piper said. The system, though “purported to be welcoming,” is self-selecting and exclusive, Khare said. “As senior women on the Panhellenic Council, we have the voice to speak up about this silence that perpetuates these inequities and inequalities,” Shelton said. The group also hopes to bring attention to the issue of sexual assault. The five Panhell executives’ decision has the potential to impact the logistics of the winter recruitment process. According to Panhell bylaws, the full recruitment team — which includes the president, vice president of operations and both vice presidents of recruitment — must be present anytime the computer system is being used for inserting recruitment numbers. Sorority presidents were notified of the decision by email on Wednesday evening. The presidents met later that night and agreed to inform their houses at chapter meetings. Panhell is planning on meeting as a group with sorority presidents this evening, Piper said. Several other Panhell executives could not be reached for comment.

The study also showed that young adults with at least one college-educated parent have 54 percent less student loan debt than students whose parents did not attend college. Houle said he was interested in researching this topic because attaining a college degree is “the engine to upward mobility,” and these disparities may restrict the types of decisions young people make upon graduation. “This is another way that inequalities are reproduced across generations, even amongst those who got a degree,” Houle said. The difference may arise from the fact that middle-income students are less IJTM \W Å VL IVL ZMKMQ^M IQL IVL \PMQZ parents lack the resources to cover the costs of college. Additionally, lowerincome students may be more debtaverse, while middle-income students may be more willing to take out loans.

The average amount of aid awarded to undergraduates in the 2012-2013 school year was $43,366, with about 52 percent of students receiving aid, according to the College’s 2013-2014 Common Data Set. The average need-based scholarship and grant award was $40,299, while the average need-based loan was $3,788.

“Students are passionately interested in getting their hands on real sustainability problems and solving them,” she said. “The environmental policy research workshop is an awesome opportunity to get real world experience with the challenges and realities that come with change making via effective policy.” Class member Hui Cheng ’16 said she chose to take the course because of her interest in environmental policy and its potential applications to her home state of Tennessee. “I’m interested in social justice and I’m interested in learning about how we can shape public policy in a way that’s reflected of our environmental justice ideals,” she said. The Policy Research Shop started in spring 2005 when a group of students decided they wanted to engage in research outside the classroom, public policy professor Ronald Shaiko said. Since then, it has produced over 100 reports and has received $1 million in funding, including a $750,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Education. Shaiko and his students reach out to legislators and agency commissioners to ask if they need assistance with projects they are working on. “It’s totally nonpartisan, nonadvocacy, so we don’t tell the legislature what to do,” he said. “We simply provide additional information on topics they’re interested in.” Shaiko said it can be challenging for students to have their work scrutinized by actual policy makers who may not agree with their findings, but added that it can be a very influential part of the legislative process. Past projects have

determined the success or failure of bills. Cox said the program’s handson nature makes it a unique opportunity, and is an ideal form of education. “We need to complement the traditional classroom model with opportunities for students to think creatively with each other about how to address issue and prob-

lems,” he said. Shaiko added that the program reflects College President Phil Hanlon’s stated inaugural goals to increase the College’s focus on experiential learning. “This is probably one of the better models that exists on campus, and we’re happy that is being replicated in other departments,” he said.

SPCSA to fund '3&6 3RVW *UDGXDWH )HOORZVKLS new research grant &RPEDW VRFLDO LQMXVWLFH RQH MRE DW D WLPH 8$76*$%&$'*2'34*0

many feasible and well-prepared proposals as possible, Llopiz said, calling an abundance of applications a “happy problem.� The grants were inspired by the work of recent graduates who were committed to fighting sexual assault, as well the SPCSA’s desire to produce more information about the issue. The grant is named in honor of last year’s SPCSA chair, Elizabeth Hoffman ’13, who “worked tirelessly� to make a difference, Llopiz said. Llopiz said the program is a culmination of work that began in spring 2012. SPCSA members frequently consulted with the office of undergraduate advising and research, the office of student health promotion and wellness, the President’s office and the Dean of the College’s office, according to Llopiz. Carla Yoon ’15, a member of the SPCSA, stressed students’ capacity to do research that most faculty and administrators cannot find the time to undertake given their busy schedules. “We expect students to do about 50 to 100 hours of research,� she said. “By allowing students to get involved, they have more agency over these issues.� T he prog ram funded two projects during a mini-grant pilot process that occurred last year, Llopiz said. The topics included engaging men in combating sexual assault and training faculty for off-campus programs. A study by Morgan Wharton ’13

recommended that all faculty leading trips abroad undergo sexual assault first-responder training, a proposal included in the SPCSA’s July recommendations for effectively fighting campus sexual assault. Llopiz said that student recommendations such as Wharton’s could be readily implemented. Yoon said she hopes the grants will encourage students from across campus to think of creative ways to fight sexual assault. “You might think the issue is removed if you’re an engineering student, but you might come up with a reporting app or investigate the way campus lighting affects student safety,� she said. “It’s not just for people who are women’s and gender studies majors.� Llopiz said he wants to see more research on how sexual assault affects minorities and people of color, while Yoon said she is interested in the judicial procedures for assault cases. Van Nguyen ’17 said students should research the issue of sexual assault awareness, as perpetrators may not understand the issue well enough to identify their actions as assault. Students who wish to apply for a grant have until Jan. 14 to submit an application. The SPCSA was founded in May 2010 to improve communication between students and administrators regarding sexual assault. The topic received increased attention following the Real Talk protests, students’ filing of a Clery Act complaint last spring and the Title IX complaint lodged against the College.

One day many, many years ago, an evil monster captured the sun goddess, taking her hostage as she emerged on the horizon. Numerous “Kamuys,” or gods, tried to rescue her to no avail. Aynu Rakkur must slay the shadow monster, who threatens the future of humankind. “Poro Oyna,” the creation myth of the Aynu people, will be brought to life at 8 p.m. this Friday and Saturday. Audiences in the Hopkins Center’s Moore theater will be treated to a production that features supersized puppets, shadow and light effects and an original soundtrack. The show began two years ago as a collaboration between Aynu musician OKI and American shadow master Larry Reed. OKI adapted the myth for the stage and created the show’s original soundtrack, while Reed brought the story’s dramatic elements to life with custom-made puppets and masked actors. This weekend’s performances will be the project’s American debut. The show will include Japanese shadow puppeteers, and while the music’s lyrics are in Japanese, the show will feature English narration. Marewrew, a singing group of four Aynu women, will perform live music for the show, accompanied by OKI playing the tonkori, a traditional Aynu string instrument. The group specializes in “upopo,” ancient, rhythmic songs that accompany traditional dance. Much of the show’s music has improvisational elements, which creates the impression of dialogue between singers and shadow puppets on stage, OKI said. The show aims to bring “a new perspective” to the traditional myth, as well as share Aynu culture’s richness with new audiences, OKI said. The result, he said, was a project where “Aynu culture meets Larry Reed and Indonesian culture.” Dating back to 1200 B.C., the Aynu culture is one of the oldest in Asia, known for its musical expression, especially through song. However, there are currently fewer than 15 living

native speakers of the Aynu language, which was designated a “critically endangered language” by UNESCO. The show gives voice to a group historically oppressed and discriminated against in Japan. The Japanese government did not formally recognize the Aynu people, who were forced to assimilate into Japanese society, until 2008. Reed said the show is unique for the way that it transforms a traditional story with modern artistic techniques. Imaginative, dreamlike elements also heighten the myth’s drama. “You kind of need two different points of view that you hold in your mind at the same time,” Reed said.

“One is conservative, where you keep what you’ve had for generations, and the other is innovative, where you fill in the missing parts.” Koyano Tetsuro, the show’s lead performer and co-adapter, called the project a “dream project come true.” “Aynu culture is the first culture of Japan,” he said. “We have to conserve that culture.” The audience must come to the show ready to “use their full imaginations” and engage, he said. Marewrew will also perform a solo concert accompanied by OKI playing the tonkori on Saturday morning in Alumni Hall. The concert will include audience participation.

HOSPITAL

The first performance group in the nation comprised primarily of people who have experienced homelessness, LAPD teams up with Netherlands-based theater company Wunderbaum, which, like LAPD, tackles critical social issues with intelligence, humor, compassion and absorbing stagecraft. Combining material from interviews with patients and doctors with the familiar tropes of hospital television series, the actors create a metaphor for the healthcare system: an exciting “ficto-mentary” of love, life, money and death.
