A panorama of choral music linked to Spain and Latin America, this concert centers on a ravishingly beautiful 1951 setting of poems by Federico García Lorca, Romancero Gitano, with accompaniment by Dartmouth guitar instructor John Muratore. The program also includes other works full of sparkling dance rhythms, including Spanish Renaissance sacred songs and Mexican folk songs—and zarzuela (Spanish operetta) featuring Met Opera tenor (and six-time Opera North artist) Hugo Vera.

I paused among the hordes as I got into the more disturbing bits of the hazing scandal, shocked that I was standing in a place where such things may have happened. I remember walking across campus with an uncertain sense of uneasiness. I would look at people, UW[\Ta INĂ…TQI\ML UMV IVL _WVLMZ QN \PMa hazed or had been hazed. The thought that my classmates and friends might have participated in something like that left me numb. Flash forward to this week’s appalling incident — after the Real Talk scandal, after the Bored at Baker bomb threat, after I myself had started going on Bored at Baker — and the only numbness I felt as I stood at Monday’s community gathering was the cold wind hitting my face. That is not to say that I don’t sympathize for the victim, or that I don’t condemn the actions of the perpetrator. However, I am no longer shocked that something like this could happen on our picturesque campus.

I immediately had an opinion, passing the “numbnessâ€? stage altogether. No longer did I need time to process the event, despite its horrifying nature. Though this might be explained by my relative separation from the event — I had been out of the country in the fall and knew no freshmen — some of my close friends have

experienced sexual assault and harassment, so it is not as if the developments were foreign to me. Instead, I think this is a manifestation of two concepts I have “learnedâ€? at Dartmouth, though I would never have expected these lessons to come from my college education. First, I have mastered the convenient talent of intellectualizing any social issue, no matter how personally connected I am to it. Perhaps the unfortunate succession of scandalous events since my matriculation has desensitized me to the actual impacts they have had on our community. In any event, I now know how to push empathy aside in an effort to be able to discuss an event’s implications immediately. 6M_[ PI[ UW^ML NZWU PQ\\QVO UM Ă…Z[\ QV \PM gut to right in the brain. So much importance is put on being able to discuss and articulate your “sideâ€? of the argument that I am afraid I have lost sight of the more important issue at hand: that one of our classmates has lost her sense of personal safety.

Engaging in discussion is important, but we need to ensure that we do not forget that these events happen to our neighbors.

Sitting in class the day after, I didn’t feel terribly comfortable asking my friend how her meeting went. And doing so puts her in an uncomfortable place, because it’s supposed to be “secret.â€? And that’s what frustrates me. It seems likely that if I didn’t know they were joining secret societies, my friends could keep their secrets, acting on the premise that what the rest of us didn’t know wouldn’t hurt us. Except that’s not how it works. While our knowledge of any given situation allows us to react to that situation, it’s still the situation itself that triggers our emotions.

To clarify, when I say “social,â€? I am referring to groups that exist solely for purposes of social interaction. I’m okay with exclusivity, provided it has a purpose. Our varsity sports teams would never get anywhere if they weren’t exclusive. My a cappella group would sound considerably worse were we to accept anyone on the premise of their simply wanting to be in an a cappella group. But I also ran an open, no-singing-ability-necessary a cappella group over sophomore summer — I think it’s important to provide people a place where they can participate because they want to. Too often in life, we are limited because _M TIKS Y]ITQĂ…KI\QWV[ ;WKQIT TQNM [PW]TL VW\ JM one of those occasions. But at Dartmouth, our conception of when it is acceptable to be socially exclusive is tremendously warped. While the Greek system tries to be welcoming, dues still create classist divides that are only agOZI^I\ML _PMV UMUJMZ[ WV Ă…VIVKQIT IQL U][\ LW extra chores to compensate for reduced dues. And even if it’s not meant to be so, the homogeneous makeup of most Greek houses can make students of color feel unwelcome or excluded. This culture of social exclusion, driven by rush and society taps, is subconsciously perpetuated by

the social connotations of many highly selective organizations on campus. While extracurricular activities exist that are open to anyone interested, the things considered “coolâ€? or “A-sideâ€? often come with an application. There can be valid reasons for this selectivity, because these extracurriculars serve purposes outside of being social [XIKM[ IVL [\]LMV\[ VMML KMZ\IQV Y]ITQĂ…KI\QWV[ to participate. But the idea that it’s “coolâ€? to be involved in things like Dimensions, Ski Patrol, Trips or a performance group reinforces a deeper, UWZM XZWJTMUI\QK QLMI ¡ \PI\ QV WZLMZ \W Ă…\ QV Q\ is not enough to be yourself. You need to apply and be evaluated. You need to be chosen. While selective, not-primarily-social organizations are not necessarily problematic in themselves, the social connotations that come along with membership directly contribute to how Dartmouth’s social culture is built on the pillars of exclusion. I sat and watched my relationships change sophomore year as many of my friends struggled through rush, and now I’m watching my friends get sucked into yet another exclusive system as they accept their taps for societies. A few weeks IOW Ă…^M 8IVPMTTMVQK +W]VKQT M`MK]\Q^M[ \ZQML \W make a statement decrying the unjust nature of the sorority rush process, and many women supported this statement. Yet these women who supported the Panhell boycott are inviting juniors into their societies as if there’s nothing wrong with being exclusive for the sake of exclusivity. I don’t want to demean the work of the Panhell executives. I supported their decision and consider it a positive step toward making our social culture more inclusive. But if we really wanted to change the exclusivity that permeates Dartmouth’s social life, we would start by radically reforming social organizations that exclude people for no reason. We would start by ensuring that all of them are genuinely open to any student who wants to participate. Until we do that, we must accept that our relationships lie across and between the boundaries of unnecessary exclusion. If we continue subscribing to divisive social systems, then we must be prepared for our friendships — and campus cohesiveness — to suffer the consequences.

Known for energetic covers of pop songs, Reckless Breakfast, which was founded in 2009, frequently plays concerts at the Hanover Farmer’s Market and Collis Center. Outdoor operations assistant Michael Silverman, who helped organize the event, said the event attempts to cure feelings of cabin fever. “Everyone huddles indoors for the wintertime, so the idea was to get the students and the community out to enjoy a winter evening,â€? he said. Gerben Scherpbier ’14, who plans to work at the event after volunteering

for it the past two years, said Howl at the Moon is one of his favorite events of winter. “I think the best part is that it’s open to the community, Dartmouth students and Hanover residents alike, and they get together to enjoy a night of food and music,â€? he said.

B y KATIE M cCONNELL The Dartmouth Glee Club is full of accomplished classical and choral singers who are more than ready for a challenge — even singing in a foreign language and mastering new rhythmic patterns. For Saturday’s “From Spain to the Americasâ€? concert, the group’s members will perform songs from Spain and Latin America in Spanish. <PM Ă…Z[\ PITN WN \PM [PW_ _QTT sample Spanish Renaissance songs, dance rhythms, Mexican folk songs and excerpts from zarzuela, Spanish musical theater. The second half will feature a gypsy ballad composed of Federico GarcĂ­a Lorca poems, which Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco set to music in 1951 and titled “Romancero Gitano.â€? Guitar instructor John Muratore will accompany the group for the ballad, and pianist Timothy Steele will join the members for other numbers.
