Since College President Phil Hanlon announced his opposition to the American Studies Association’s boycott of Israeli institutions in an email to campus on Dec. 28, many Dartmouth students and faculty members have echoed his statements, while others have spoken out in vehement support of the boycott. With his announcement, Hanlon joined more than 80 college and university presidents nationwide in condemning the

group’s objection to scholarly collaboration with Israeli universities. The association, composed of academics who study American culture and history, voted by a two-to-one margin in favor of the boycott, which was sparked by disapproval of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. Although the association has under 5,000 members, making it smaller than other academic organizations, its boycott received widespread publicity and has sparked debate on uniSEE BOYCOTT PAGE 2

N.H. House first to pass bill legalizing marijuana B y heather szilagyi dŚĞ ĂƌƚŵŽƵƚŚ ^ƚĂī

The New Hampshire House of Representatives became the Å Z[\ TMOQ[TI\Q^M KPIUJMZ QV \PM country to pass a bill legalizing recreational marijuana on Wednesday. After a lengthy and heated debate, the House voted 170 to 162 for initial approval of the bill, though it still faces

serious hurtles before becoming law. House Bill 492 would legalize personal use of up to one ounce of the drug for anyone 21 or older, permit the cultivation of up to six marijuana plants and create a system for taxing and regulating sale of the drug. The House initially adopted a committee report that labeled it “inexpedient to legislate,” killing the bill, but supporters convinced some

legislators to change their votes and overturn the committee report, State :MX /MWZOM 4IUJMZ\ : 4Q\KPÅ MTL said. “It was like taking out paddles and shocking it and bringing it back to life,” he said. The bill comes on the heels of similar measures that voters approved in Colorado and Washington. The sale of marijuana for recreational use became legal in Colorado on Jan. 1.

Supporters of the bill cited personal freedom, popular support and tax revenues as reasons for supporting the legislation. “I’ve long believed that the war on drugs is a terrible waste of resources and unfairly punished people for victimless crimes and personal behaviors,” said co-sponsor State Rep. Mark Warden, R-Manchester. SEE MARIJUANA PAGE 3

His new student-run organization, the Collis Consulting Group, launched this term and aims to consult for other College groups.

Ramirez attributes the majority of problems facing campus organizations to the D-Plan. Many students assume executive positions within their groups as sophomores and juniors, but this also coincides with the time when students take leave terms. The absence of upperclassmen leadership causes administrative turnover, confusion and inconsistency, he said. “[Interim executives] do not have the SEE D-PLAN PAGE 3

DAily debriefing Yale University blocked a course evaluation and scheduleplanning website created by students, the Chronicle of Higher Education reported on Thursday. The website allowed students to compare course information and professor ratings that were already available through the university’s internal system. According to the Washington Post, more than 2,000 of the university’s approximately 5,000 undergraduates have used the site. The website’s founders believe the display of course evaluations caused administrative concern about faculty response. The administration issued a statement upon blocking the site, citing its unauthorized use of university resources. Academic leaders’ expectations for online education have fallen from last year and new enrollment in online courses has slowed, an annual survey on online education performed by the Babson Survey Research Group revealed. The survey included data from over 4,700 colleges and universities, collected in collaboration with the College Board, Inside Higher Ed reported on Wednesday.

ASA boycott sparks campus debate FROM BOYCOTT PAGE 1

versity campuses nationwide. Every Ivy League university president has publicly opposed the association’s decision, many through statements sent to their respective campuses and others by signing the Association of American Universities’ anti-boycott response. “Collaboration, especially across [QOVQĂ… KIV\ XWQV\[ WN \MV[QWV IVL LQN ference, is essential to fostering mutual understanding and solving the world’s most complex problems,â€? Hanlon said in his statement. Six institutions to date — Indiana University, Brandeis University, Bard College, Pennsylvania State University at Harrisburg, Kenyon College and the University of Texas at Dallas — have withdrawn their Association membership in response to the boycott. Other college and university presidents who oppose the boycott, including Hanlon, have taken more moderate stances, encouraging students, staff and faculty to voice their personal opinions and engage with the debate and with the Association freely. Zachary Kamin ’14, co-chair of pro-Israel and pro-peace student group J Street U, said an academic boycott is not conducive to creating healthy discourse and a more peaceful world. “I support the opposition,â€? he said. š1V OMVMZIT IKILMUQK JWaKW\\[ [\QÆ M open dialogue that can be important to creating a more peaceful and cooperative world in the long run.â€? Religion professor and Jewish studies program chair Ehud Benor said he agreed with Hanlon’s statement, citing the importance of Israeli academia in the discourse about Israeli-Palestinian relations as a reason to oppose the Association’s stance. “The Israeli academy has been the one consistent force attuned and committed to the reasonable expectations of the international community,â€? Benor said. “Boycotting your ally is a poor substitute to boycotting your rival.â€? Government department chair John Carey also emphasized Israel’s distinguished academic reputation and

the connection between scholars there and at Dartmouth. Many Dartmouth professors have professional relationships with Israeli academics, he said. Carey rejected the idea of an academic boycott of any kind, a sentiment that Hanlon also expressed. “Clearly this was motivated by an opposition to Israeli government policy, but I don’t see a boycott of Israeli academic institutions as a constructive step,� he said. “I don’t support it in any regard.� Ala’ Alrababa’h ’14, who recently restarted Dartmouth’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, emphasized that scholars on both sides of the issue stand together in disagreeing with the boycott. “President Hanlon is trying to do what is best for Dartmouth, and his decision makes sense,� Alrababa’h said. “Even pro-Palestinian scholars, including [University of Michigan professor and Middle East expert] Juan Cole, have opposed such boycotts of Israeli academic institutions because Israeli academics tend to be among the most moderate and pro-peace parts of Israeli society.� History professor Russell Rickford, who has publicly endorsed the boycott, said he found Hanlon’s statement insincere and believed it asserted a false equivalency between Israel and Palestine. “It’s absurd to suggest that in the absence of boycotts, an open forum for free exchange about Israel and Palestine exists in the academy or in our society,� Rickford said in an email. Rickford also said academics should bring the pro-Palestinian perspective to light. Mainstream media and culture perpetuate American support for “Israeli militarism and imperialism,� he said. “Scholars have a responsibility to speak truth to power, and to expose the suffering of the oppressed and the colonized at the hands of world powers,� he said. “The ASA boycott is only another small but important challenge to the massive bias toward Israel that exists among the institutions

of the wealthy and the powerful — a bias that is aggressively cultivated and maintained.â€? Native American studies program chair Bruce Duthu, who also supports the boycott, joined in a statement written by the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association, of which he is the treasurer. The statement asks academics to continue “honoring this boycott until such time as the rights of the Palestinian people are respected and discriminatory policies are ended.â€? Simon Bronner, an American studies professor at Penn State Harrisburg and an association member who has broadly criticized the boycott, said Hanlon’s statements, while symbolic, ZMINĂ… ZU ]VQ^MZ[Q\QM[Âź UQ[[QWV[ WN XZW moting dialogue. “These statements reassure the public, students and faculty that the university continues to stand for being an open forum,â€? he said. Some university presidents, however, have faced criticism for their anti-boycott stances. New York University president John Sexton has been accused of hypocrisy for opposing the Association boycott but failing to speak out against the United Arab Emirates, where NYU operates a satellite campus, for alleged transgressions against academic freedom. At Trinity College, 21 faculty members wrote an open letter to President James Jones, saying his statement WXXW[QVO \PM JWaKW\\ šI^WQL[ \PM Ă… VM grained conversation and returns to cliched denunciations.â€? Last weekend, the Modern Language Association’s annual conference in Chicago drew more than 7,000 people, including more than 20 Dartmouth professors. During the conference, the association’s delegate assembly voted in favor of a resolution calling on the U.S. State Department to challenge Israel’s blockade of American scholars to Palestinian academic institutions. The association denied, however, that its vote was a precursor to a boycott, and struck down a measure in support of the American Studies Association.

same goals and the same initiatives as the prior execs did in the term before,” Ramirez said. The group will establish guidelines for executive transitions in student organizations and will teach groups about available resources. The group also aims to assist student groups that are not familiar with administrative tasks, such as budgeting and sending proposals to the Council on Student Organizations. “A lot of the organizations don’t have the resources necessary to be the best that they can be or they are too intimidated to ask for help from their administrative faculty members,” Ramirez said. “CCG will be the middle man between the administrators and the student groups.” The group is launching its pilot stage this winter and announced in an email to campus on Tuesday that it seeks to recruit a sophomore codirector to join Ramirez, currently the group’s only member.` This term, the group will reach out to a few organizations to offer assistance and will hold nighttime WNÅ KM PW]Z[ <PW]OP \PMa _QTT UW[\Ta

The group will have a hierarchical structure similar to that of COSO — once selected, members will remain in the group until they graduate. In the long term, Ramirez would like the group to become an “umbrella organization,” consulting for campus religious groups and Greek organizations. Ultimately, the group seeks to consult for companies in Hanover and the surrounding area. Collis Center director and group supervisor Eric Ramsey said Collis administrators and future group members will collaborate to give meaningful advice to student organizations. Tucker Byrne ’16, who is applying for the group’s co-director position, said the organization offers a mechanism by which students can connect with administrators.

While he is a co-sponsor of the bill, Warden does not think it goes far enough and said he would support legalizing marijuana without any restrictions. “I would treat it like a tomato you grow in your backyard,” he said. State Rep. William Butynski, D-Hinsdale, a retired substance abuse expert, said the expected tax revenue generated by legalization cannot be determined. Though he opposes the bill, Butynski said that effective treatment and prevention are viable alternatives to incarceration. There is a tough road ahead if the bill is to become a law. It heads back to the House Ways and Means Committee and, if it passes a second vote in the House, will go to the Senate, which rejected a less stringent decriminalization bill last year. Despite signing medical marijuana legislation, Gov. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., has said she would veto the bill. “The vocal opposition from the governor is a problem, and I think some in the Senate are going to use that as cover,” Warden said. Butynski said he opposes the bill as a matter of public health and advised the New Hampshire

legislature to wait until the effects of the law’s passage in Colorado become evident. “If all adults could purchase marijuana, it becomes much more available and accessible to underage people,” he said. “And that’s clearly a problem.” Matt Simon, the New England political director of the Marijuana Policy Project, said this “symbolic victory” will make legalization a top issue this election cycle. Despite national momentum, Simon added that recreational legalization in New Hampshire would be surprising, as New Hampshire was last state in New England to legalize marijuana for medical purposes and failed to pass decriminalization legislation, which removes criminal penalties for possession but does not make consumption legal. Lambert said popular support could make legalizing marijuana a reality, and noted that the bill’s passage marked an unprecedented opportunity for public engagement. Some New Hampshire legislators _PW PI^M JMMV Å OP\QVO NWZ TMOITQbI tion for years believe the tides are shifting in their favor. Lambert has been an advocate since before he joined the House. “I’ve been going up for seven years to the House to hand out litera-

ture on some sort of decriminalization or legalization of marijuana,” Lambert said. An October study by the University of New Hampshire found that 60 percent of voting-age adults in the state approve of H.B. 492. The U.S. Department of Justice has stated that it will not challenge state laws that legalize marijuana, but Marijuana Policy Project spokesperson Mason Tvert said it could effectively challenge regulation and licensing provisions. This, however, would essentially leave marijuana use completely unrestricted — a scenario that the government will do its best to avoid, therefore making any challenge unlikely. Warden said there is a growing dichotomy between public opinion and the legislators’ beliefs. Dartmouth students echoed this sentiment in their support of legalization. While some said the legislation shows a continued trend toward liberal policy, others emphasized that marijuana use is an individual decision. “Since it doesn’t necessarily affect community health, it affects personal health, as long as it’s taxed properly I have no issue with it,” Gabby Bozarth ’17 said.

However, Colgate has a few weaknesses to exploit. First, Colgate has converted just 14 of its 100 power plays this season. On the penalty kill, Dartmouth has allowed 17 power play goals in 69 attempts, the second worst percentage in the ECAC so far. What might be most beneficial for the Big Green is Colgate’s in-

ability to score in the first period, having been outscored 20-11 during the first 20 minutes. Recently, Dartmouth has shown the capability to start strong score points quickly, seen best by its first minute goal on Saturday against UNH.

Men’s hockey set for home pair

Dartmouth men’s hockey returns home for the first time since Dec. 30 with a two-game homestand against Colgate University on Friday and No. 12 Cornell University (8-4-3, 4-3-2 ECAC) on Saturday. “Both teams play fast and physical, so we have to match their intensity and put the pressure on them,” forward Brad Schierhorn ’16 said. “We just got to play our game.” Dartmouth (3-12-2, 2-8-0 ECAC) currently ranks last in conference standings with only four points, possessing the worst conference record and the worst overall record. A Dartmouth victory in either game would be regarded as a surprising upset. If the Big Green takes both games, it would signal that Dartmouth refuses to write off its season and believes that it can climb out of the conference cellar. After losing its first eight games, Dartmouth has gone 3-4-2 since its first win of the season against Harvard University on Nov. 30. Even Dartmouth’s losses have been agonizingly close. After losing by big margins early on, three of Dartmouth’s four most recent losses have been by a lone goal. The exception was last Saturday’s 4-2 loss, when the University of New Hampshire scored on a delayed penalty call with 33 seconds left in the game. Colgate (9-9-3, 5-3-1 ECAC)

The men’s and women’s squash teams were both shut out by undefeated teams from Trinity College on Wednesday night in Hartford, Conn. The No. 8 Big Green women (1-4, 0-3 Ivy) fell to No. 2 Trinity (5-0) 9-0 . Tori Dewey ’16 was the only player to win a game, taking two before her opponent won three in their eighth position match. “We certainly expected a tough match going in,” said head coach Hansi Wiens. “The Trinity wom-

en’s team got stronger over the last year as well, but our teams fought hard.” Despite what appeared to be a landslide victory for the Bantams, the Big Green worked hard throughout the match,first seed Jackie Barnes ’17 said. “Even though the scores may not indicate it, a lot of the girls on the team challenged Trinity and made them work hard to earn points,” Barnes said. The No. 10 Dartmouth men had a similarly challenging match against the top ranked Bantams,

with Trinity’s players winning all nine matches. Out of the scoring nine players, only Fletcher Pease ’14 and Michael Mistras ’15 were able to win a game for Dartmouth, losing in four games at the No. 4 and No. 6 spots, respectively. In the non-scoring 10th spot, Joshua Renaud ’17 won his first two games, eventually falling in five games to his opponent. On the women’s side, Dewey had the closest match, falling 3-2 SEE SQUASH PAGE 11

As the Big Green men’s basketball team travels to St. John’s University tomorrow, players are part of a long history of teams eagerly descending on New York City to play at the center of college hoops. But as I wrote in last week’s column, the relationship between college basketball and New York has been dramatically altered in a tragic way. The break up of the Big East conference means that some of the nation’s premiere programs will no longer meet at Madison Square Garden every March for the highly-anticipated conference tournament. What the Big East’s collapse has done, then, is not only put an end to one league’s great rivalry matchups and tradition, but it has raised a much more daunting question: will New York still hold the same prominence in the college basketball world that it has enjoyed over the past few decades? Because of the slew of exceptional XTIaMZ[ QV \PM *QO -I[\ _PMV Q\ Å Z[\ began holding its tournaments at the Garden in 1983 — think St. John’s Chris Mullin and Georgetown’s Patrick Ewing — the nation’s eyes were cast on New York. Big East schools were so closely located to one another that fans could easily access the Garden. That proximity also ensured that even during the regular season, high-stakes matchups in New York had an ambience unlike any other arena. The Big East, in fact, has long converged on New York for another reason: to recruit talent. Its top contenders have long sought the best players from this stronghold, making the post-season tournament a homecoming. For Mullin, a Brooklyn native, what must have been most rewarding about playing for his hometown team was the chance to shine in the nation’s spotlight every March. Bronx native and University of Connecticut standout Kemba Walker’s exceptional performance in the 2011 tournament must have felt even more special because it was in his hometown. St. John’s fans in the post-Lou Carnesecca era have lamented his successors’ inability to recruit the city’s young stars, who are highly coveted

by stronger Big East programs. New York has long been the point of convergence for the city’s premiere high school programs and the Northeast’s elite college ones, but such a New York-centric basketball atmosphere is in danger of vanishing without the powerhouses of the Big East such as Syracuse University, which is currently ranked No. 2 in the nation. It’s not just the Big East that views the Big Apple as prime recruiting territory. Just look at the number of early season out-of-conference games played at MSG or the newly built Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Coaches will use those road trips often to court potential recruits. But of course, those teams don’t return for a tournament every March, and thus unlike the Big East, they are in no way foundational to New York’s prestige in basketball. The rise of New York City as the “capital of college basketball” dates back to the 1930s, as Richard Davies and Richard Abram discuss in their book “Betting the Line: Sports Wagering in American Life.” As college basketball rapidly grew in popularity, sportswriter Ned Irish took notice of the jam-packed gymnasiums across the city, and he began to promote games at Madison Square Garden. He organized doubleheader matchups that achieved raucous sellout crowds, helping propel New York’s basketball reputation into the national consciousness of fans. The authors argue that Irish’s success pushed New York area schools into the limelight, boosting the team’s national appeal. “Strong teams from other regions vied to be invited to the Garden to play the local teams,” the authors write. “The basketball powers of the day were eager to challenge one of the eastern giants and bask in the limelight of the Big Apple.” For over 70 years, traveling to New York had an intangible aura attached to it. Playing in the city told players that this wasn’t just any game. But if the traditional powers of college basketball won’t be doing that annually anymore, then I can’t help but wonder whether the symbolic value of the journey for all visiting teams has forever been diminished.
