Several students who ventured onto the College’s icy walkways in the past week fell and sustained injuries.

Spectra, a new campus organization, seeks to enhance community among LGBTQ students by holding social events throughout the term. Andrew McKee ’15 and Jacqueline Panichello ’16 founded the group in the fall after hearing rumors that Gender Sexuality XYZ, was disbanding. Gender Sexuality XYZ is currently in a transitional period, which may result in new leadership or in its becoming a different organization altogether, said Reese 3MTTa IV 4/*<9 IL^Q[WZ QV \PM 7NÅ KM WN 8T]ZITQ[U IVL Leadership. McKee, who had initially planned to run for the position of social chair within Gender Sexuality XYZ, said he perceived a lack of social events for the queer community. “I wanted to create spaces where people can meet and talk and just hang out in a place where nothing is assumed,” McKee said. “[Spectra] is just a safe space for students, queer or not, to get together.” McKee has led the group since the beginning of winter term. Spectra held several events this fall, including a “show your stripes” dance party at the Tabard coed fraternity, funded by the Council on Student Organizations, and a murder mystery party held at Panarchy undergraduate society. Ideas for future events include a Cabaret-themed party. Attendance at Spectra’s events has varied from a

Freshmen will discuss leadership and their roles at the College in a new program created and facilitated by other students. The Leadership Attitudes and Behaviors program, launching on Jan. 27, will combine peer bonding and student-facilitated discussions to encourage students to consider new meanings of leadership. The program, open only to members of the Class of 2017, consists of three 90-minute-long discussion sessions called “Know

Yourself,” “Know Your Friends” and “Know Your Community.” The program also replaces one of its weekly in-person meetings with an online activity. The 12 student facilitators have diverse backgrounds and personalities, program founder and coordinator Austin Boral ’16 said. The facilitators’ varied experiences are meant to complement each other and reveal how different people with personality types can all become leaders. “We’re seeking to solve a problem,” Boral said. “Leadership has

been conceived as a concrete idea, under only one standard of leadership, which is not true. There are many paths towards leadership.” Each applicant must take a personality test, which will be compared to results from a peer evaluation that will show how others perceive the applicant. The exercise is meant to show that selfperception can be misleading. Boral said that if students understand their personal strengths, they will better understand each SEE LEADERSHIP PAGE 5

A Necessary Compromise

Vox Clamantis

Last week, The Dartmouth published two op-eds (“Backward Boycott,â€? Jan. 8 and “Dear Hanlon — Be Bold,â€? Jan. 10) that expressed rightful opposition to the American Studies Association’s recent decision to boycott Israeli academic institutions. Boycotts place blame exclusively on one side and further polarize communities that need to come together for a common vision of peace through two states, a solution that preserves Israel’s Jewish and democratic character while also ending the occupation of Palestinian territory. Unfortunately, neither piece addressed legitimate concerns regarding justice and human rights for Palestinians. Israel’s decades-long occupation subjugates Palestinians, ultimately placing them under martial law and denying them statehood.

“The most dynamic leaders we have today, their power does not necessarily come from authority.” ͳ h^d/E KZ > ͛ϭϲ WZK'Z D &KhE Z “The most dynamic leaders we have today, their power does not necessarily come from authority.” Organizers said that the program can accommodate up to 80 participants. There are no set criteria used to select the students, Boral said, though he added that applicants should have a desire to reflect and grow. While Boral said the idea for the program came to him organically, he was also inspired by his time spent with peers in Washington, D.C. last summer as a participant in the Rockefeller Center’s FirstYear Fellows program. Planning began in the fall, and he has been soliciting advice from upperclassmen throughout the process. Cynthia Tan ’17 said she appreciates that the opportunity is open only to freshmen because of its focus on peer discussion, and added that she was interested in the personality test aspect of the application. The program’s three sessions amount to a total of less than five hours, but facilitators say that its purpose of cultivating reflection is designed to reach beyond the meetings. “It has a more reflective tone that explores how we are constantly

leading and being led as we go through our time at Dartmouth,” facilitator Sarah Waltcher ’16 said. Program facilitators must all attend workshops and will lead participants in discussion. “As a freshman, I didn’t have the opportunity to interact with as many upperclassmen as I wanted to,” Waltcher said. “One of the main reasons why I wanted to participate was because it has been a goal of mine to meet more ’17s.” The Rockefeller Center also offers other leadership training initiatives, including the Management and Leadership Development Program and the Rockefeller Global Leadership Prog ram. Several organizations at the College, including the Tucker Foundation and the Office of Pluralism and Leadership, offer programs for reflection and discussion as

The group ordered delivery, rather than go out to eat. Gina Greenwalt ’14 said she has developed a new tactic of walking with friends to avoid falling alone. “I have blitzed out to friends several times before going somewhere asking them to travel with me,” she said. Several students interviewed said they have begun allocating more travel time to account for navigating through the slush. Stylianos Tegas ’17 said the ice, which has slowed him down, made arriving to his back-to-back classes on time a challenge. In addition to the over 500 tons of salt used by Campus Planning and Facilities, Facilities, Operations and Management has distributed 34 tons of a blended ice melt product to improve conditions on sidewalks, pathways and stairs across campus, said David DiBenedetto, campus planning and facilities grounds shop supervisor. The ice melt product, composed of potassium chloride, sodium chloride,

magnesium chloride and calcium salts, is considered to be more environmentally friendly than traditional salt. When temperatures are too low, however, the College cannot use ice melt products exclusively, as they do not function properly in the severe cold over long periods of time, said

Facilities, Operations and Management has also covered 75 yards of campus with manufactured sand to provide traction.

The Town of Hanover maintains several key avenues on campus including Webster Avenue, College Street, Wheelock Street and Main Street, which are not under the jurisdiction of Facilities, Operations and Management, Hill said. Hill stressed the importance of wearing proper footwear during inclement weather to avoid injury. Safety and Security director Harry Kinne said he has seen an increase in weather-related injuries and accidents this winter, primarily because of dangerous walking conditions. “Still, ice-related injuries are not atypical, especially in an outdoors place like Dartmouth,” he added.

The program is sponsored by the Rockefeller Center for Public Policy and the Collis Center for Student Involvement.

Red Baraat fuses Punjabi ‘Freya!’ honors local Nazi resistor with jazz for all-out party B y Caela murphy dŚĞ ĂƌƚŵŽƵƚŚ ^ƚĂī

ŽƵƌƚĞƐLJ ŽĨ ƌŝŶ WĂƚƌŝĐĞ K͛ ƌŝĞŶ

Red Baraat composes its own pieces to incorporate a range of instruments.

B y apoorva dixit Baraat is the Hindi word for a groom’s wedding procession, which travels to the bride-to-be’s house on the day of their nuptials. Though it may sound like a formal affair, a baraat is a party on the move. The groom, family and friends dress in elaborate, colorful clothing and dance their way to retrieve the bride. Now add to this the equally wild and fun energy of a New Orleans jazz band, and you have Red Baraat, who will perform in the Hopkins Center’s Spaulding Auditorium on Thursday evening. Sunny Jain, Red Baraat’s founder, said he began the group because he wanted to play in a band that reflected Indian brass and baraat bands as well as American jazz, rock and hip-hop influences. “It’s not just an Indian baraat band or a Punjabi band, but something that is ver y much a reflection of that energy of the Indian-American boy,” Jain said. Born in Rochester, N.Y., Jain said that he had to trick his conser vative parents to allow him pursue a music major at Rutgers University. Now, just five years after forming the band, Red Baraat schedules about 200 concerts a year — even performing at a TED talk and at the White House. Don Glasgo, director of the Barbar y Coast Jazz Ensemble, said the band stands out for its high energy sounds from different regions of the world. The perform-

ers play instruments traditional to baraats, such as dhols, a type of North Indian drum, and shehnais, a double reed oboe, as well as the saucy brass instruments that New Orleans jazz is known for: flugelhorns, soprano saxophones, sousaphones, trombones and trumpets. “[It’s] one incredible nonstop world music jam,” Glasgo wrote in an email to The Dartmouth. Creating the band, Jain said he knew he was looking for specific musical voices. He wanted multiple drummers to create a “density of rhythm” and included a variety of brass instruments for a full-bodied jazz sound. The combination of so many loud and unique instruments is possible since the group composes pieces tailored to highlight its individual musicians, Jain said. The group is also influenced by its favorite Hindi and Punjabi songs, which it infuses with improvisation. “Ever yone is ver y aware and sensitive to the type of player each person is — their unique style of playing,” Jain said. “[We’re] not looking back at the past and not hoping for the future but just really being in the moment.” Hop publicity coordinator Rebecca Bailey said that the Hop tries to schedule winter performances that “fight back that seasonal affective disorder.” This band hit the mark, she said, as the group typically leaves its audience “ready to go to a street party.”

At the height of World War II, Countess Freya von Moltke’s husband came to her with a request: could she turn against friends and colleagues to form a resistance group of upper-class German citizens like themselves? Moltke considered the proposition and emphatically agreed. The Kreisau Circle began as a meeting of two dozen of Moltke’s friends and quickly strengthened. By the war’s end, however, Hitler had arrested and executed half of the group’s original members, including Moltke’s husband. “They were aristocrats,” German studies professor Bruce Duncan said. “They could’ve had a comfortable existence by not resisting the Nazis, but in fact they quite willingly took a huge risk that led to his execution.” This evening, the German Club will host a film screening and panel discussion of “Freya!” (2011), a documentary celebrating Moltke’s life and legacy. The film, directed by Boston College German studies professor Rachel Freudenburg, is based primarily on a 2002 interview the director conducted with Moltke, who died in 2010 in Norwich. The film also gives historical context for the Kreisau Circle’s founding and charts its specific history. Primary source material includes letters the couple wrote to one another while Helmuth James von Moltke was imprisoned during the war. According to Freudenburg’s research, members of the group communicated with Allied forces about political life in Hitler’s regime while making plans for a democratic postwar German government. Helmuth was arrested for his involvement in the resistance and executed for treason in 1945. Freudenburg said that although she had little experience with filmmaking, Moltke’s interview made the process easy for her. “She knew what she was doing,” Freudenburg said. “She had given many interviews, and she knew what she felt was important to say about the resistance and her role in it.” Following the war’s conclusion, Moltke traveled to South Africa and back to Germany, before settling in Vermont in 1960, where she joined long time friend and former Dartmouth philosophy professor Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy. The two had met in a German youth camp movement and lived together until Rosenstock-Huessy’s death in 1973. Moltke remained in Norwich for the rest of her life. Duncan, who met Moltke when he began teaching at Dartmouth, called her “one of the great figures of the 20th century.” “She was an extremely famous person and central to the resistance against Hitler, but she was also active

Szabo ’17 stays humble despite on-court successes in first season

B y j0sh schiefelbein dŚĞ ĂƌƚŵŽƵƚŚ ^ƚĂī

After a recent victory, women’s basketball forward Fanni Szabo ’17 taught her teammates to say “believe in yourself ” in Hungarian. Although injuries and illnesses have taken their toll on the women’s basketball team to the tune of a 2-12, 0-1 Ivy League record, Szabo, a Budapest native, consistently pushes her teammates to step up their game. The humble and team-oriented Szabo has been the driving force behind Dartmouth’s offense. Szabo leads the team and the League with 17.6 points per game and scored over 30 points in three games, including Dartmouth’s only two wins so far. In her second career game, she scored 31 points, setting a new freshman scoring record in a 66-62 victory over the University of Vermont. She broke her own record 10 games later, with 34 points in Dartmouth’s 76-72 victory over the University of Massachusetts in the Blue Sky Classic. Szabo registered one more game of over 30 points when she scored 33 against Providence College in a 82-72 loss. Dartmouth’s offense suffers when Szabo is shut down by the opposing team’s defense. When Syracuse University shut out Szabo for an entire game, the Orange won 88-47. The two other games where Szabo scored

fewer than 10 points were against La Salle University and Hartford University, both Dartmouth losses by double digits. After each lackluster performance, however, Szabo has bounced back. Teammate Lakin Roland ’16, a forward, said that Szabo plays smart. “She leads by example,” she said. “She’s not one to criticize or be very vocal. When she is vocal, it’s more of a positive tone. I think the coaches appreciate her.” Teammates and friends commented on Szabo’s humility and team-oriented attitude. Calling her sincere and modest, ;bIJW¼[ Æ WWZUI\M :]Ja 0WXSQV[ ’17 said she had not been aware of Szabo’s success on the court until she heard about it from other people. “When I congratulate her, she redirects the attention away from herself by saying nothing could have occurred without the team,” Hopkins said. Szabo played various sports growing up in Budapest. As a child, she wanted to emulate her brother by playing tennis. The tennis coach told the six-year-old Szabo that she was too young and that she should return when she was older. She turned to basketball and gradually fell in love with the sport, the start of a path that eventually led her to Dartmouth. While attending Britannica International School, a long-established

British school in Hungary, Szabo was named the nation’s top student and top athlete in 2012 and received an award for academic excellence. She played three seasons with UNIQA Euroleasing Sopron, a Hungarian women’s basketball club, where she won the First League National Hungarian Championship and the 0]VOIZQIV +]X ;PM Å VQ[PML [MKWVL in the First League HungarianSlovakian Championship and was named to the U18 All-Tournament Team, among other honors. Szabo said she chose Dartmouth over universities with stronger basketball programs due to the school’s strong academic record. ¹.ZWU \PM Å Z[\ UWUMV\ 1 LMKQLML to come to the U.S., I told myself that I would only come if both academic and athletics were a high priority,” Szabo said. In high school she was restricted to studying four subjects, so Szabo, a planned psychology major, said she has enjoyed exploring other topics since arriving at the College. “I love how I’m able to see my teammates every part of the day,” she said. The team is positioned to improve thanks to Szabo and the leadership of Å Z[\ aMIZ PMIL KWIKP *MTTM 3WKTIVM[ Despite its 2-12 record, the women’s basketball team has yet to give up. Szabo says she sees that the team has improved and knows it can win.

“We work every day to make winning an Ivy Championship possible,” Szabo said. “Our record doesn’t show it because we’ve had a lot of sicknesses and injuries. Now, all of us are able to play and it’s going to make us a better and more consistent team.”

Szabo and the Big Green return to action on Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m., traveling to Newark, N.J., to take on the New Jersey Institute of <MKPVWTWOa \PM Å Z[\ UI\KP WN I [Q` game road slate. Dartmouth’s next home game isn’t until Feb. 14, when the team will play Cornell University.
