DARTBEAT DARTMOUTH ADMISSIONS PART 4
Enhanced security policies at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center’s Lebanon campus began on Monday, restricting entry and requiring visitor registration during evening and overnight visiting hours. The initiative comes not in response to a particular incident but part of a national trend to increase hospital security, DHMC spokesperson Mike Barwell said. The new procedures apply seven days a week, from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., according to a DHMC press release. Under the new policy, the hospital will restrict entry to the North Entrance from 8 p.m. until 11 p.m. and
the Emergency Department Entrance from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. Evening and overnight visitors must register at the designated entry points, and identification information will be entered in an electronic visitor management system. Authorized visitors will be given a temporary pass. The policy does not affect Dartmouth-Hitchcock or Geisel Medical School students and staff, who have badges that provide access at all times. Staff and students without a badge must register at a controlled SEE SECURITY PAGE 5
Fellows take first steps of yearlong projects By REBECCA ASOULIN The Dartmouth Staff
Black masculinity, fibromyalgia and Dominican citizenship rights — these are the subjects of this year’s three senior fellows, who are each spending the year focused on one academic project instead of juggling classes. This week, Hannah McGehee ’15, Bennie Niles ’15 and Yomalis Rosario ’15 are completing their first-term updates.
A faculty committee selected the three students last May for the program, which allows students to pursue yearlong personal projects with faculty advisors and financial support. Niles said his project, a documentary film called “I, Too, Am Man: Reconsidering Black Masculinity,” focuses on articulations and perceptions of black male identity. This SEE FELLOWS PAGE 2

Faculty debated the merits of an open-access policy at a Monday meeting.
B y MICHAEL QIAN The Dartmouth Staff
Faculty members met over wine and cheese Monday afternoon to discuss a proposal to make the final pre-published version of faculty-authored scholarly articles available through a public digital repository. This open-access policy mirrors those of around 170 other universities, including Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The trend toward open access follows a rising cost of journal subscriptions, which restricts the availability of scholarly work for many outside academia.
The conversation was further sparked by the January 2013 death of pro-open access activist Aaron Swartz, who committed suicide after facing prosecution for his illegal downloading of JSTOR archives. The open-access policy would not require faculty to publish in open-access journals, nor would it take away their personal copyright. Faculty could also request an embargo or a waiver to opt out of the policy, based on the requirements of the publishing journal. An upcoming Monday meeting of the arts and sciences faculty will address
the topic. Information resources associate librarian Elizabeth Kirk said in an interview that the resolution has so far encountered little to no “philosophical pushback,” noting that she had only received logistical questions. “Absolutely, this is about impact for faculty scholarship, and it’s also a preservation of faculty scholarship,” Kirk said, adding that such a policy would offer many people outside of higher education access to cutting-edge research.

Tuck’s Bridge program will be altered for Smith College.
The Tuck Business School’s Bridge program, which teaches business fundamentals in a condensed term, will expand to Smith College this summer. The three-week program will be taught by Tuck faculty on Smith’s campus, covering accounting,
marketing, leadership and more in a program targeted to women. The program, established in 1997, will be open both to Smith students and women from other colleges. The curriculum will replicate the Hanover program, but due to the program’s shorter duration, several career-related topics will
not be included, Tuck senior associate dean Robert Hansen said. Though mock interviews and resume reviews will remain part of the curriculum, students will be expected to rely more on Smith’s campus services for career-related guidance. SEE TUCK PAGE 5

DAily debriefing RESEARCH ROUNDUP Thayer Engineering School masters student Drew Matter developed a device that detects smoking at FreshAir Sensor Corporation. He joined Jack O’Toole Tu’14 and Dartmouth Chemistry professor Joseph Belbruno to develop the “AirGuard,” which monitors the air for chemicals in cigarette and marijuana smoke, according to a Thayer press release. Matter said he believes that the hotel business will benefit from the device by deterring smoking in non-smoking rooms. Researchers from Dartmouth, Stanford University and the French Geological Survey developed a tool that analyzes the chemical composition of fracking fluid, Grist Magazine reported. The research shows that chemicals that occur naturally in shale mix with fracking liquid when it is injected underground, altering the wastewater’s chemical makeup. Diffuse Optical Spectroscopic Tomographic imaging may be able to predict if patients will respond well to chemotherapy that is used before surgery, according to a Dartmouth study published online in Clinical Cancer Research. The results could determine what tumors are unlikely to respond to chemotherapy, avoiding unnecessary procedure, and could speed up future trials on optimal chemotherapy regimes, according to a Norris Cotton Cancer Center press release. Next, researchers will aim to develop a portable and compact system to better measure changes in the breast before or after chemotherapy. — Compiled by Kelsey Flower

Fellows specialize in yearlong projects FROM FELLOWS PAGE 1
summer, Niles workshopped his project at a six-week humanities institute program at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in New York. Two research trips, one to Morehouse College, in Atlanta, and the other to Chicago, informed his work. Following interviews and discussions, he decided to focus on black male behavior, clothing and sexuality. Niles said talking to documentary filmmaker Taylor Witten ’08 solidified his focus, which expanded to include James Baldwin and Martin Luther King Jr. along with Malcolm X, the topic of his proposal last spring. The additions, he said, will “draw out complexity and speak to different articulations of black masculinity.” “It all started to click,” Niles said. “The work, the research trips and the questions I was interested in.” Niles said other filmmakers have influenced his technique, particularly Marlon Riggs, who inspired him to incorporate visual poetic reconstructions in his film. McGehee’s project, “Living Fibromyalgia: Communicating Chronic Pain through Narratives and Creative Expression,” will use art to show what it is like to live with chronic pain and fatigue, symptoms of the disorder. Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder of pain and fatigue that is diagnosed by exclusion after running tests that return negative for other conditions. “It’s an invisible disease because you can’t see pain, you cant see fatigue,” McGehee said of fibromyalgia. “I wanted to explore how people can express that in means other than words because it’s hard to express pain in words.”
Berry Library and the Black Family Visual Arts Center will display her exhibit in the spring term, McGehee said. After graduation, the exhibit will move to Colorado, where McGehee is currently working informally with the Colorado Fibromyalgia Center. McGehee said her biggest challenge has been recruiting people with fibromyalgia to share their narratives, but she was surprised by the enthusiastic response she got from online forums. From her initial conversations with doctors and patients, financial and weight issues emerged as themes. McGehee plans to speak with Dartmouth students, community members and doctors from Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and the Veterans Affairs when she returns to campus for the remainder of the year. “There’s no way I could have done the work that I’m doing right now through normal courses,” McGehee said. Rosario also traveled for her project, spending a summer conducting interviews and taking photographs while living among people of Haitian descent in the Dominican Republic. She plans to publish the narratives and photographs along with historical context in a book. During her summer in the Dominican Republic, Rosario worked with non-governmental organization reconoci.do, which advocates for Dominicans of Haitian descent. She plans on traveling back to the Dominican Republic to continue her work over the winter and spring breaks. Rosario is transcribing and translating 10 interviews with people whose Dominican citizenship rights are threatened by recent
legislation. In the process, she has begun picking out themes from these oral histories and placing them in a historical context. Common threads include childhood poverty, anti-Haitianism linked to Dominican nationalism, the threat of statelessness and a lack of official documentation. Rosario, whose family is from the Dominican Republic and who grew up in Washington Heights, a predominantly Dominican neighborhood in New York, said she feels most motivated in academics when the work is relevant to her, usually through a political connection. “What motivates me is that sense of purpose, convincing myself I’m doing something significant for justice, for social transformation,” Rosario said. Over the past few months, her project has evolved, switching from film to digital photography and focusing on one NGO as opposed to the proposed three. Undergraduate advising and research Margaret Funnell director said budgets for senior projects vary. Costs, timeline and content all change over the course of the project. While projects sometimes come in “streaks,” with multiple projects in a year drawing on art, music, science or other departmental backgrounds, Funnell noted that each student’s project is distinctive. All three senior fellows are taking at least one class this year, and Rosario noted that the fellows’ senior year experiences are similar to those of other students. “In many ways there isn’t that much of a difference,” Rosario said. “I’m still doing a lot of work all the time, and that’s what everyone else is doing.” Rosario is a former member of The Dartmouth senior staff.

Getting Gateway Right
Take Action Now
The Gateway Initiative has potential, but must be done correctly. Two years ago, my U.S. history teacher told us on the first day of class that he would quiz us before teaching the material. We were expected to read the textbook and learn the material beforehand, and after the quiz he would deepen our understanding of the material, fleshing out what we had read and addressing misconceptions. I was initially terrified — the thought of being tested on something before he taught it felt unfair and daunting. But after we had our first quiz, I realized that this method of teaching was far superior to the traditional lecture-then-quiz method. Dartmouth’s Gateway Initiative is similar to this method of teaching. In the program, a few introductory classes will ask students to learn course materials first through Khan Academy and other sources as opposed to in-class lectures. Classes will then be either lecture-based, as usual, or focus on discussion and clarification. The initiative has a lot of potential. One of the biggest issues with traditional teaching is that students unfamiliar with the material may find lectures hard to follow, which hurts those who need more time to think through concepts. By encouraging and enabling students to go over the material beforehand, this method allows them to understand concepts at their own pace and not fall increasingly far behind in class. But this initiative comes with one major caveat — that students will come to class having mastered the material. The lectured-based Gateway courses, in which students can answer questions with their smartphones or a clicker, addresses this caveat. In the discussion-based Gateway courses, however, students can easily still come to class with misconceptions that will not necessarily be addressed in class discussions. In Gateway classes, the College should use class time to flesh out and strengthen material taught before class. In discussion-based classes, class time is meant for answering questions or talking about more in-depth topics related to the material being covered. But in introductory classes, students likely do not have any prior knowledge of the subject. Research shows that monologue-
based videos, like many Khan Academy videos, effectively teach concepts but do not always address basic students’ misconceptions. By using videos to teach students and using class time for only discussion, professors may not be able to address these misconceptions — especially if students do not bring them up, which leads professors to assume students fully understand the material. Discussion-based classes favor students who have a good grasp on the material. After all, many students do not participate in discussions unless they can confidently present their opinion. These classes do not do as much for students who do not understand the material, even after studying it beforehand. Discussions — which are not as organized as lectures — may confuse students who need help understanding overarching concepts. Instead of focusing classes on discussion, teachers who are part of the Gateway Initiative should use class time to review and enhance the online lessons. Reviewing material and learning it multiple ways would help students memorize it. Professors should come into class with the assumption that students have looked at basic concepts, but not necessarily that they understand them completely. Professors must highlight the key concepts, which may not always be as easy in discussion-based classes. Lectures that review basic concepts students have learned in videos more effectively help students understand and remember the information. Yet this does not mean that professors must restrict themselves to reiterating the videos. Instead of replacing lectures entirely, the videos should allow professors to go more in-depth with important or tricky concepts. The Gateway Initiative is a step forward in education, but only if done correctly. Asking students to learn material ahead of time makes sure that they do not arrive to class completely confused. But Gateway classes should remain lecture-based. By making classes discussionbased, the initiative steps away from the most important purpose of introductory classes — to make sure students understand basic concepts.

Dartmouth must make concrete moves to reform Greek houses. The Dartmouth editorial board’s Homecoming Verbum Ultimum about eliminating the Greek system caused a firestorm, but it provided neither a viable nor an intelligent solution. Logistically, eliminating the Greek system is not a simple press of the button — among other things, many Greek houses are privately owned and financed, and severing them from the College would also sever the College’s ability to regulate them. Beta Theta Pi was able to return from its “permanent ban” as Beta Alpha Omega because the College had no viable way of preventing members from reoccupying the building their organization owned. Despite all this, let us say the College did abolish the Greek system — what happens then? The problems of hazing, sexual crimes and high-risk drinking will not magically disappear. The problems would move out of regulated social spaces and into dorm rooms. In Greek organizations, house leaders are both liable for and can control who enters the house and what they do inside. Plus, Safety and Security can walk through and monitor the houses. Safety and Security can “investigate probable violation(s) of College regulations,” in residence halls, too — but it is highly unlikely that they would have the same amount of oversight across dorms spread-out over campus than they do on Webster Avenue . Whatever happens behind that closed dorm room door is nearly invisible to the outside world – until a pre-game gets too loud, someone passes out or a crime is reported. Problems in Greek houses must be addressed urgently. But nothing will happen if we try to finalize some inevitably controversial grand plan before taking action. Instead, let me suggest some steps that require minimal planning and will result in little controversy that the College should do right now to meaningfully reform the Greek system. First, administrators should seriously encourage houses to drop single-gender membership. Increasing the proportion of gender-inclusive spaces would help remove the gender inequality that leads to sexual crimes. Forcing all Greek houses to go coed might be possible, but is again both controversial and logistically difficult — houses would likely have to become local, and then figure out how to make other genders actually want to
join previously single-gender houses. The College should instead provide incentives for Greek houses to drop their single-gender status. For example, they could enact a policy where houses with at most 80 percent of members of one gender are allowed to have kegs or hard liquor. Alternatively, the College could disallow rushing single-gender houses until sophomore spring while allowing people to rush gender-inclusive houses their sophomore fall. Second, administrators must literally clean up the houses. Take a lesson from New York City in the 1980s — crimes tend to be concentrated in run-down, dirty and dimly lit locations. The College should require basements — and really anywhere drinking occurs — to have bright lighting. Let any inappropriate behavior or excessively drunk individuals be clearly visible to everyone around. Administrators and Greek leaders must vigilantly address anything that is a health or safety risk and enforce stricter rules. Why should Greek houses be allowed to have messy, slippery floors at the end of the night? You have much more incentive to monitor and control your members and guests if you have to completely clean up after them at the end of the night. Finally, the College must anonymously survey new members of every organization (including sports teams) either one or two terms after they join, for both Greek and non-Greek organizations. Hazing is not confined to the Greek system, and this should curb hazing and bring it to light. The survey would ask about anything new members felt uncomfortable with or felt was forced upon them. Organizations would be punished for problematic responses or lack of responses, and the organizations with the best responses would get a reward. These steps will not eradicate hazing, sexual crimes or high-risk drinking — realistically, nothing will. However, these proposals would concretely address these issues and could be implemented nearly immediately. Both administrators and students must stop dragging their feet by trying to come up with extreme, controversial and probably ineffective solutions. Instead, start taking action now.

entry points. Barwell said he hopes the new procedures will make employees, staff and patients at DHMC feel safer. Other Upper Valley hospitals have implemented similar security measures. Vice president of clinical and support services at Cheshire Medical Center Paul Pezone said that Cheshire has similar procedures, such as restricted access from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. and a sign in and badge process for visitors. In addition, Cheshire Medical Center, a hospital in Keene that announced a partnership with
DHMC in February, has increased security staff and enhanced security training programs. These tightened security measures not only reduce violence and theft but also improve the comfort level of staff at the hospital, Pezone said. Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital spokesperson Peter Glenshaw said the Lebanon hospital restricts visitor entry after 10:30 p.m., but does not require visitors to have a badge. He said that this is because Alice Peck Day Memorial is a 25-bed hospital with a “smaller footprint” than larger facilities such as DHMC. There has been an increase in violent crimes in U.S. hospitals in recent years, said Karim H. Vellani, president of security consulting firm
Threat Analysis Group. Vellani was the lead author on a heath care and crime report released this year, which assessed crime in hospitals in Canada and the U.S. Vellani and his team reported that the violent crime rate per 100 hospital beds in the U.S. rose 25 percent from 2012 to 2013. DHMC’s new policy of restricting facility entry points is a popular hospital security measure, Vellani said. When they were built, most hospitals were designed with multiple entries, and many have taken similar measures to reduce the easy entry. DHMC security director Dan Dahmen could not be reached for comment by press time.

Hood receives 118-piece gift from alum AVA gallery focuses on local river and scenery
B y haley gordon
The Hood Museum announced Friday that it received a 118-piece donation of art from the children of Barbara and David Stahl ’47. The works, collected over 30 years, include drawings, paintings ceramics and an extensive set of prints ranging from the 16th to the 20th century. Four of their children donated the pieces, a selection of which will be featured in the Hood between August and December 2015. Hood curator of American art Barbara MacAdam said she and Hood senior curator of collections Katherine Hart went through the Stahls’ collection and chose works that they felt would best supplement the museum’s current collections. The Stahl collection of prints includes works by 16th- and 17thcentury Old Masters like Albrecht Durer, Jacques Callot, Rembrandt and Wenceslaus Hollar, as well as 19th-century prints that feature scenes of popular culture and social unrest, MacAdam said. Hart said she is especially excited that the Hood acquired a print by lesser-known artist Ira Moskowitz that portrays a kibbutz, an Israeli agricultural community. The piece has both political and agricultural significance, and the Hood does not own any similar image, Hart said. A contemporary print, based on Jack Levine’s 1954 painting “Election Night,” is another exciting work, Hart said. The print shows powerful, wealthy politicians indulging themselves in various vices on election night. The Stahls were proud of their set
of prints by George Rouault titled “Le Cirque de L’Etoile Filante.” Two of these prints were the first pieces that the Stahls purchased as collectors, and David Stahl did not complete the set until 2006, MacAdam said. The prints show scenes of circus performers as marginalized persons in society, exposing a darker side to the festival performers, MacAdam said. Hart said the Stahl donation will allow for more cross-disciplinary
“The Stahls were very socially conscious people and collectors, and a lot of the subjects have to do with social conditions.” - Barbara Macadam, hood museum curator of american art learning between classroom discussions and visits to the Hood. Last winter, she said, the museum pulled out more than 1,000 works for classrooms to view during the term and offered programming to nearly 700 students. “David Stahl was a loyal Dartmouth alumnus and he and his wife and his children all value education very highly,” MacAdam said. “I think the way the Hood has reached out and become so integral to the curriculum here really excited him, and I think
that’s why the family gave us a call.” A French class at Dartmouth has already viewed some works in the collection. The pieces are by Honoré Daumier, a 19th-century French artist known for his caricature drawings, paintings and prints. Katherine Clayton ’18, a member of the French class who viewed the Daumier works, said the artist’s “Le Passé—Le Présent—L’Avenir” drawing, translated to “Past, Present, Future,” was a favorite. The work depicts King Louis-Philippe of France with three faces, a satirical depiction of the monarchy in decline, she said. “I thought that it was really cool that first of all that Dartmouth had these works that were really pertinent to what we were learning and that we could look at them firsthand, get to see them on actual paper and touch them,” Clayton said. “I thought it was a great thing that Dartmouth was able to bring to us, especially because it was so applicable to our class.” Many of the artworks grapple with themes of totalitarianism and war, intolerance and faith, showing the collectors’ interest in social issues. “The Stahls were very socially conscious people and collectors, and a lot of the subjects have to do with social conditions,” MacAdam said. “They were real humanitarians, and I think that’s reflected in the collection.” Hart called the Stahls “collectors’ collectors” because of their passion for printmaking, not just acquiring a financial asset. Following next fall’s show, the collection will be fully integrated into the Hood’s collections, catalogued and entered into its online database.

TUESDAY LINEUP
MEN’S SOCCER AT BOSTON COLLEGE 7 PM
3-1 loss knocks field hockey out of first Crew teams compete haley gordon at Princeton Chase By
The field hockey team lost a crucial league game to Columbia University in its Sunday matchup and fell out of a tie for first place in the Ivy League. The Big Green (5-9, 3-2 Ivy) let up three goals in the first half and failed to equalize in the second despite shutting the Lions (11-4, 4-1 Ivy) out in the final frame. Dartmouth dropped to fourth place in the league, behind Columbia, Cornell University and Princeton University, who have 4-1 records in the Ancient Eight. The win extended the Lions’ win streak to five. “I think everyone put their hearts out on the field. Everyone left everything on the field. Unfortunately we just couldn’t put it together as a team, which resulted in us not being able to take home the ‘W,’” Janine Leger ’15 said. The Big Green had the first chance of the game on a penalty corner from Ali Savage ’15 and consecutive shots by Brooke Van Valkenburg ’16, but the team could not find the net in the fourth minute. The Lions responded in the seventh minute when Columbia senior Zoe Blake found the back of the net after a penalty corner taken by senior Kyle Marsh. The Big Green fought to level the score and had possession in Columbia’s
end, resulting in five shots on goal. One went wide, another hit the post, two were saved by the goalie and one by a defender, however, as the Big Green remained unable to break through. The shots off the post, Anna Ewasechko ’18 said, were particularly disappointing “because it was a big game in terms of Ivy League standings.” The Lions notched their second goal of the game in the 16th minute, off of a penalty corner from senior Lauren Skudalski. Blake ultimately assisted freshman Whitney Hartstone for the point. The third goal for Columbia came over 10 minutes later when junior Christina Freibott put a shot past Meyer. After the Lions scored their third goal of the game, the Big Green called a time out. After this break, Meyer said, the team “buckle[d] down” and “kick[ed] it up into another gear.” Meyer attributed the team’s success in the second half to a renewed intensity and aggressive defensive transitions. Ellen Meyer ’15 had a strong showing in net, making 13 total saves, including three in a 14-second span in the 29th minute. The Dartmouth players took the field after halftime and immediately moved to strike back, with a scoring attempt by Julia Donald ’18 just 35 seconds in. Ewasechko scored the only goal for Dartmouth after Eliza Becker ’16
drove to the baseline and fed the ball in. Ewasechko, who had five total shots in the game, buried it for her second tally of the season. The Big Green offense, despite a 20-shot performance on the afternoon, could not connect with the back of the net again. This was due in part to junior goalkeeper Kimberly Pianucci’s nine saves, as well as three saves by Columbia’s defensive line. “It was really frustrating because you could see how hungry people were for goals and how they were trying, but it just didn’t fall in our favor,” Leger said. Dartmouth had six penalty corner situations in the first half, but only managed three in the second half. Columbia had 14 such opportunities “We were able to get a lot of short corners, but we just weren’t able to execute,” Ewasechko said. “If we were able to execute on them, the score would have been completely different.” The field hockey team will next take the field against Harvard University on Saturday at 1 p.m. Harvard (8-6, 2-3 Ivy) occupies the fifth-place spot behind Dartmouth. The team’s final game of the year is at league-leading Cornell University. If the team hopes to win the Ivy title this season, it must win its last two games and get some help along the way.

Dartmouth’s three crew teams competed in the three-mile Princeton Chase on Lake Carnegie over the weekend, with the men’s lightweight first varsity eight finishing sixth. After a disappointing outing at the Head of the Charles earlier this month, the women’s first eight rebounded with a better finish, coming in 13th of 50 boats. The women’s second varsity eight took 30th, while the first varsity four placed 25th and the second finished 28th. The men’s heavyweight team entered three varsity boats in the race, which took 21st, 22nd and 44th, respectively. The men’s lightweight second eight finished 19th. The lightweights also entered three boats in the varsity four race, with the B boat taking 23rd and the A taking 25th. The varsity boat shows promise this fall, lightweight rower Julian Danziger ’15 said, noting that this is unusual. “Dartmouth usually has a late start because the junior class is off, and although we have some really, really talented juniors that are missing, we have a pretty talented freshman class coming in,” he said. “Two of them have helped our speed a lot in the varsity boat. We’ve been clicking at higher ratings which hasn’t really happened in the fall.” The second women’s varsity eight turned in a worse performance than last week’s 13th-place finish in the club eight race at the Head of the Charles, but head coach Linda Muri said she thought the boat performed better. “We worked on some technical changes during the week,” Muri said. “And they were able to execute those changes during the race, which can be quite challenging.” The women’s C boat finished in 47th place. This was the crew’s first race of the season, so it was a good opportunity for Muri to evaluate them. “Even though that’s not the major scoring boat, how they do helps support the rest of the team,” Muri said. “The top boats wouldn’t do as well as they did if we didn’t have that third boat of firmly dedicated women as well.” Three women’s varsity fours also competed later in the day, with the A boat taking 25th with a time of 18:25.344. Dartmouth’s A boat hit a snag about halfway through the race
when leaves got caught on the rudder and knocked the boat off course. “The end result doesn’t look as good, but they were really doing very well,” Muri said. The men’s heavyweight top two boats finished the three-mile race in nearly identical times — the A boat completed the course in 13:41.868 with the B boat finishing just under one-10th of a second behind. The close results show that the team is competitive, which according to head coach Wyatt Allen is one of its strengths. “I think we had one boat that underperformed and another boat that exceeded our expectations,” Allen said. Dartmouth’s men’s third varsity eight finished in 14:13.193, placing 44th. Allen said that the fall is generally a time to build endurance for the spring, which is when the team makes its push for nationals. “At this point in the year we’re working on base fitness, kind of building endurance,” he said. “That’s the base for making fast crews in the spring.” Danziger said that the lightweights strong results are encouraging, as a strong fall performance usually correlates to a strong spring performance. He added that the team has been very committed to racing this fall, prioritizing the team. “I think in the fall if you have a team that’s really committed and healthy and strong and has a good dynamic, then that bodes really well for the winter, which then allows you to pick it right back up in the spring,” he said. “What matters almost more than the speed that we show is our commitment to the team and the team dynamic, both of which have been exceptional this fall.” In addition to the men’s lightweight first varsity eight, the other two men’s lightweight varsity eights had strong races, too, with the B boat placing 19th in 14:21.838 and the C boat finishing 26th in 15:50.564. In the lightweight varsity fours race, the Big Green’s second boat overtook its top crew and finished the course in 16:49.045, just under 21 seconds faster than the A boat. Coming in just a few places behind, in 28th, was Dartmouth’s third varsity four, which completed the course in 17:39.973.
