Researchers work with NASA to collect space weather data

X-rays produced by electrons in the earth’s atmosphere. The group has launched nine balloons since Dec. 27 and plans to release 11 more by the end of the mission. The researchers keep between five and eight balloons afloat simultaneously, each equipped with instrumentation used to collect data on the Van Allen radiation belts.

The belts are zones of particles that influence disturbances in Earth’s magnetic sphere caused by the sun. Millan, principal investigator and leader of the 30-person campaign, said the research serves both intellectual and practical purposes. The data collected by the balloons is combined with that of NASA’s Van Allen probes, two spacecraft dedicated to observing the radiation belts, and analyzed to

inform scientists’ understanding. Comprehending space weather will allow researchers to improve forecasting and prevent damage to technology. “It’s just like any other weather,” Halford said. “If you can predict it, you can work around it.” The radiation belts are composed of charged electrons and can damage orbiting satellites. Sudden bursts of activity can cause interruptions to everyday tools such as those used by aircraft, Millan said. Because people so deeply rely on satellite technology, the ability to predict space weather is crucial. Space weather fluctuations can distort GPS data, Dartmouth researcher Alexa Halford said. “Only being able to know where you are within a meter is generally not a problem for people,” she said. “But if you’re a farmer and fertilizing a swath of land that is 10 centimeters long and you want to be able to go back in the spring and plant seeds in the spot you just fertilized in the fall, being off by a meter is not very useful.” The conditions in Antarctica have presented some challenges for the researchers, as high winds occasionally prevent the team from launching the fragile balloons, Halford said. The balloons must remain within a narrow region of the atmosphere — approximately 22 to 38 kilometers above the Earth’s surface — to collect useful data, Millan said. Two balloons are being terminated this week because of their low altitude. “Of course there are some

Devin Chu ’14, an intern in the 8IV )[QIV [\]LMV\ IL^Q[QVO WNÅ KM said he wants to talk about how the Asian community is perceived by other students and issues related to being a multi-ethnic and multi-generational Asian-American student at Dartmouth. “Our community is viewed by many to be very homogenous,” Chu said. “It’s easy to assume that we’re all the same, but in reality we are very diverse.” The group will offer students the chance to talk about their experiences as Asian and Asian-American students in a non-Asian culture, said program founder Da-Shih Hu, a counseling and human development psychiatrist. Meetings will intentionally lack predetermined topics and a concrete

structure, he said. Students can only join the new OZW]X L]ZQVO Q\[ Å Z[\ \_W UMM\QVO[ Hu said. He designed this policy to allow group members to develop a rapport with one another, not with the intention of excluding potential members. Hu said the idea for the group occurred to him after conversations with two Asian students reminded him of his own experiences. One student had spoken about the issue of feeling masculine in an American society, saying that many Asian men do not have the usual qualities that are considered traits of ultramasculinity in American culture. Ashlee said she hopes the program will show Asian and Asian-American students that they are not isolated in their experiences. “I’m really hopeful that this group will provide a venue for Dartmouth students to authentically share that vulnerability with one another, since

being vulnerable isn’t something that is a huge part of Dartmouth culture right now,” Ashlee said. Eight students have expressed interest in joining the discussion group. They will likely meet for the Å Z[\ \QUM VM`\ _MMS _Q\P UMM\QVO[ continuing for the rest of the term, Hu said.

Chu said the closed nature of the group provides an intimate space for sensitive discussion, and he hopes it will help him broaden his perspective on identity. “I know how I identify as an Asian student at Dartmouth, but I’m looking forward to learning about how other people identify,” Chu said. ¹0WXMN]TTa _M _QTT JM IJTM \W Å VL commonalities between our experiences.”

risks,” Millan said. “The plastic of the balloon is thin. Sometimes we find the balloons we send up and we try to re-use them. Other times we can’t.” Poor phone reception can interfere with daily telecommunications, Dartmouth-stationed research assistant Leslie Woodger said. As a result, team members in Hanover sometimes find it difficult to communicate with those in Antarctica. While most of Millan’s team will remain in Antarctica until Feb. 20, researches in Hanover are currently making models using the collected data to see how theories compare to reality. The team continues to make

improvements like reducing the number of solar panels attached to the balloons to save space and weight, Woodger said. Currently based out of the South African Antarctic Station and Halley Bay station in Antarctica, the campaign includes contributions from other institutions, such as the University of California at Berkeley, the University of California at Santa Cruz and the University of Washington, among others. Millan received roughly $9.3 million in NASA funding for the project. While the researchers are currently focused on collecting data, they hope to be able to publish results by the end of the year, Millan said.

A Step Toward Safety

Break the Barrier

Lowering  the  drinking  age  would  solve  problems  at  the  College. Although the College has recently taken steps to curb sexual assault and enacted programs to ensure student safety, the most potentially effective step, lowering the drinking age of “softâ€? alcohol (as in, not wine and spirits or liquor), is out of its hands. Despite the commonly held belief that there is a national drinking age, the law is actually determined by each state. In fact, more than half of the 50 states had lower drinking ages 40 years ago, with some as low as 18 . However, when Congress passed the 1984 National Minimum Drinking Age Act, it imposed a 10-percent reduction in federal highway funds for noncompliant states, which pushed them to raise their drinking ages to 21. While the increased drinking age has reduced the prevalence of drunk driving among 18- to 20-year-olds, other alcoholrelated concerns would be easier to address if the drinking age were lowered. For instance, colleges could combat alcohol poisoning if they could take proactive steps toward prevention and response instead of turning a blind eye to underage drinking. According to the National Institute of Health, four in five college students report drinking alcohol, and of those who drink, about half binge drink. Because it is illegal, drinking in college remains secretive and dangerous. If students could report instances of excessive and dangerous alcohol consumption without fear of criminal charges or school disciplinary sanctions, these dangers could be dealt with more effectively and more frequently. As it stands, however, the avenues for underage drinkers to respond to dangerous alcohol-related situations are severely limited. Furthermore, according to Hearts for Families, an advocacy organization devoted to family wellness, alcohol consumption is connected to about two-thirds of all reported sexual assaults and date rapes of students. This could prevent victims under the age of 21 from reporting sexual as-

sault. This understandable hesitation could complicate evidence collection, especially forensic samples and identifying witnesses or even perpetrators. Additionally, the less time elapses after an assault, the more likely it is to be prosecuted. Even at Dartmouth, a college that is fairly pragmatic about underage drinking and sexual assault, there are major considerations preventing students from reporting. For instance, those who have been “Good Sammed� cannot become UGAs, and if they want to hold executive positions in their Greek organizations, they will face an uphill climb. Furthermore, the process is expensive and oftentimes personally degrading. Most importantly, Greek organizations may be subject to legal charges if minors are Good Sammed in or found to have been drinking at their houses. This lets intoxicated students, who fear being caught drunk, stay in an unsafe environment and encourages other students to refrain from reporting. It also prevents members from getting involved in risky situations. The drinking age also encourages students to join Greek houses or other social clubs to obtain alcohol, which then opens them up to hazing and other more dangerous consequences of drinking alcohol. With a drinking age set at 18, students would be able to make the decision to become affiliated completely out of their own volition, rather than as an easy way to procure alcohol. Ultimately, lowering the drinking age to 18 would give colleges leeway to take effective steps to curb alcohol-related harm and sexual assault. They would be able to offer safe alternatives to covert or organized drinking, and the barriers to seeking medical attention or police assistance would be removed. A beer in the hands of an 18-yearold can lead to dangerous situations on its own — but the potential consequences are made scarier when he or she has limited safety options.

In 2008, former College President James Wright announced that Dartmouth would reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 20 percent by 2015, and 30 percent by 2030.

Even well-designed, newer buildings like the Life Sciences Center still use a lot of energy, Packard said. The initiatives will save the College over $1 million per year — funding which then goes toward repaying loans for the projects, Packard said. The College has invested about $14.5

million in energy-related projects to date. “Fundamentally, the College is here to do education and research, so we want to keep the energy footprint as small as possible,� he said. “But that’s secondary to meeting the needs of the institution.�

Jake Gaba ’16

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT The dartmouth staff While Jake Gaba ’16 participated in theater and choir in high school, he’s found himself in his biggest role yet: global social media star. This fall, on his Chinese Language Study Abroad Plus trip to Beijing, Gaba filmed himself wearing rainbow-patterned swim tr unks and dancing in public places — 91 distinct places, to be exact. The video, “Guy Dances Across China in 100 Days,” is a mash-up of Gaba dancing to Bruno Mars’s “Treasure,” and includes footage from travels to a mountainous region of Tibet, the terracotta soldiers in Xian and his university home, Beijing Normal University. The video, featured on Good Morning America last week, has nearly 200,000 YouTube views and over 300,000 views on YOUKU, a Chinese video-sharing website. Gaba sat down with The Dartmouth to talk about the video, his involvement in the ar ts at Dartmouth and his plans to enjoy the winter weather. How did you get the idea to film a video like this? JG: I brought my camera with me to China, which does video and still photography. I took it just to take pictures, but my friend Nash Larmoyeux ’15, who was also on the trip, suggested I make a video, something like Nathan Barnatt. The first time filming was at the Great Wall. I remember thinking that this was going to be good, this was going to be really good. I started carr ying my camera and tripod wherever I went. Was it difficult to find time to film? JG: During the week, I couldn’t really do much, because we were really busy. We had six hours of class a day and three to four hours of homework. We’d work, eat, sleep and not much else. On the weekends, we would either travel or get on a bus and get bused to a cultural thing. On Wednesdays, too, we would go to see a Chinese play or opera. When we finally got out on the weekends, I might have the group stop three or four times so I could film. The other kids on the trip got a little annoyed toward the end, but they put up with me. What kind of reaction did you get while you were filming? JG: It would be so fun. Sometimes 40 to 50 Chinese people would gather around my camera, pointing and taking pictures on their phones. When I finished dancing, a lot of people would clap and smile. At least I think ever yone really liked it. Some of them would come up to take pictures of me and be a little shocked that I could speak

Chinese. I’d always ask my professor if it was an appropriate place to film when we were out on trips together. Was post-production difficult? JG: I tried to do as much as I could on the plane back, but there wasn’t a power outlet to charge my laptop. In total, it took about 15 hours to edit but more than that to catalogue and arrange the clips. What was most surprising about the viral success of the video? JG: It’s been really popular in China. One of my friends from the trip, Max Liu ’14, has been helping me promote the video in China, and we’re hoping I’ll be able to get on a Chinese talk show. The video was also featured on a popular ex-pat lifestyle blog, The Shanghaiist. What did your parents think about it? JG: They think it’s crazy that it’s getting so popular. I told them that I was doing it, but when they came to China to visit me for two weeks, they were so embarrassed when I’d dance in public. That was the ver y end of the trip, and I kept reminding them that I had done it 70 times before. When they saw the finished product, though, they loved it. My dad is a professor at Southern Methodist University and sent it out to his students.

KELSEY KITTELSEN/THE DARTMOUTH STAFF

Gaba brought his camera to China to take photos, but he was inspired to document his travels with video clips. What kind of projects are you interested in next? JG: My friend Devon Koch ’16 and I have been making videos together, but he’s off this term. We started a recording and video production group, Symbiotic Studios, and have worked with different people on campus to produce music videos: Amber Dewey ’12, Nate Graves ’13 and Michael Tree ’13. Xavier

Curry ’14 and I recorded an album last spring that we are hoping to release soon, and I actually filmed some stuff with Devon last year, another video of me dancing around campus, that we never got around to editing. Maybe we’ll go back to that now. It might be a good follow-up. This interview was edited and condensed for clarity.

THE FINAL WORD If I could take any celebrity to lunch: Jon Stewart. He seems like a cool, funny guy. My favorite food on campus: yellow cake at FoCo. It’s so good. One thing I want to try this winter: learning how to ski. I’ve never gone. The first time I went snowboarding, I fell, like, over 800 times.
