The verdict came after nearly two weeks of testimony from family members, law enforcement officials, medical professionals, undergraduates and experts.

“We are relieved that this

nightmare is over for Parker Gilbert and his family,” Gilbert’s attorneys wrote in a statement. “Parker is innocent, and we thank the men and women of the jury for doing their job.”

Students will no longer be able to travel to the Republic of the Marshall Islands to teach English in primary and secondary schools, due to the cancellation of the Dartmouth Volunteer Teaching Program. For the past 15 years, the program has sent about eight student interns to the Islands each winter term.

Students who participated in the program this winter opposed the cancellation, voicing their concerns in a

letter to College President Phil Hanlon.

The internship program, funded by U.S. grant money channeled through the Marshallese Ministry of Education, began in 2000 as the brainchild of emeritus education professor Andrew Garrod, who has overseen the participation of 140 Dartmouth students.

Originally affiliated with the College’s education department, the program enhanced the department’s curriculum by offering handson opportunities to teach

abroad, Garrod said.

The volunteer program provided 10-week internships to Dartmouth undergraduates, as well as yearlong posts to graduates of other colleges. Local teachers acted as mentors to the students, who taught English, assisted with extracurricular activities and helped the Marshallese children stage a Shakespearean play each year.

After Garrod’s retirement in 2010, however, the education department disaffiliated SEE TEACHING PAGE 7

Alumni Office organizes luxury trips B y CHARLIE RAFKIN The Dartmouth Staff

Despite recent steps in New Hampshire toward decriminalizing marijuana possession, a legalization bill failed in the New Hampshire House on Wednesday, and Gov. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H, has vowed to veto any similar bill that lands on her desk, the Concord Monitor reported. In light of this uptick in political action, The Dartmouth sat down with senior policy lecturer Charles Wheelan ’88 to talk about current marijuana policies.

What are some of the policy problems remaining with regard to marijuana legalization?

CW: The biggest one is that marijuana is still illegal at the federal level yet legal at the state level, which is a constitutional impossibility. The Obama administration has said they will not enforce that federal law, but they haven’t rescinded it. If another administration were to come in and enforce the law, I have absolutely no idea what would happen in Washington and Colorado.

How would the federal government rescind the current federal ban?

CW: The easiest thing to do would be to reschedule marijuana from a Schedule 1 drug [a controlled substance classification by the federal government that also applies to heroin and L.S.D.] to the same schedule as something like steroids. There’s no logical reason for marijuana to be a Schedule 1 drug. Clearly, there’s political pressure from the states to revisit U.S. policy on marijuana, but I have not seen any serious discussion of doing that at the federal level.

Are Colorado or Washington experiencing any statelevel policy problems?

CW: One of the problems early on was what to do with cash from marijuana sales, which again follows the fact that it’s still illegal at the federal level. What I’ve read is that there are perfectly legal businesses at the state level selling marijuana, making a lot of cash like any other business. Many of these businesses didn’t feel comfortable taking that money to banks because the banks feared that marijuana sales were still technically illegal at the federal level and that they would be punished for trafficking this money.

What do you find interesting about the new policies in Colorado and Washington?

CW: It’s odd that states would just say, “Let’s legalize marijuana,” and then, “Okay, now that we’ve legalized it, let’s figure out how to do it.” That’s a function of the referendum process.

Most other processes, including the way they’re approaching marijuana in New Hampshire, go the other direction. People start thinking about it, groups study how to do it and laws are proposed. Once policies are in place, the law is passed. This has turned all of that on its head.

Eric Sailer ’60, perched on a ledge high in the Costa Rican canopy about a month ago, eyed the precipice below him. He inhaled and exhaled, then leapt off the overhang, his harness whistling as he careened from tree to tree.

Sailer ziplined in Costa Rica this year as part of a trip offered

by Dartmouth Alumni Travel, a program run by the Office of Alumni Relations that will send Dartmouth graduates on 40 trips this year. Today, a group of alumni set off for Havana on the trip “Cuba: Through the Eyes of the People,” led by history and Latin American and Caribbean studies professor emerita Marysa Navarro.

Many of the visits are guided by professors with expertise in the area, and as many as 35 alumni may embark on a single trip, director of continuing education and travel Robin Albing Tu’81 said.

The Alumni Office plans vacations each year to locations like the Galapagos Islands, Cuba, Tanzania and the Baltic, and each trip incorporates a different educational component. Eric Sailer’s trip to Costa Rica, led by biology graduate student Thomas Kraft, emphasized ecotourism. A cruise along the Danube River this September will focus on the central European locales that once gave rise to the classical music of Beethoven, Chopin and Mozart.

“If you’re interested in art, there’s a trip for you,” Kraft said.

“If you’re interested in plants and animals and ecology, then there’s a trip for those people, too.”

Albing said alumni from all walks of life attend the programs, although she noted the office has recently sought to recruit younger alumni. As they do so, the office will adapt its travel philosophy to accommodate a younger generation, she said.

Albing emphasized that these

travel opportunities allow Dartmouth alumni with the opportunity to pursue education after graduating.

“We’re really looking at it as a holistic program that includes continuing education and travel with the overlay of lifelong learning,” she said.

According to the results of a survey Albing provided to The Dartmouth, which was sent out this

“We’re really looking at it as a holistic program that includes continuing education and travel with the overlay of lifelong learning.”

- Robin albing tu’81, director of continuing education and travel

January and to which over 1,000 alumni responded, 73 percent of alumni who have never attended a Dartmouth trip and 77 percent who have done so would be drawn to one for the educational component. Eric Sailer and his wife, Joanne Sailer, who also traveled to Costa Rica, said that Kraft’s knowledge about Latin American biodiversity enriched their experience.

According to the survey, 44

percent of those who traveled with the program would participate again for the “excellent accommodations, arrangements and amenities.”

Fine travel ar rangements, however, contribute to the sticker price. A cruise up the Seine River costs alumni at minimum $3,495 for an nine-day journey. In contrast, travel company Viking River Cruises offers a comparable tour for as low as $1,400.

Religion professor Susan Ackerman ’80, who has led 16 trips, noted that alumni participation in the program depends on income and work schedule. Since the Alumni Office recognizes that many alumni value vacation time, Albing said the office hopes to add shorter and cheaper vacations soon.

Because the trip to Costa Rica was only 12 days long, Kraft said he felt “obviously limited” in exposing the participants to the depth of Costa Rican culture, but he noted that the participants did interact with Costa Rican kindergarten students, an experience that Eric and Joanne Sailer said they appreciated.

Professors may also face a challenge in lecturing on the area of travel, Ackerman said, adding that she was sometimes asked to lecture on topics outside of her area of expertise. While she teaches courses about ancient Egypt at the College, she once led a cruise to the Baltic region, a place not nearly so “intellectually familiar” as Egypt, she said.

Peer institutions offer similar programs.

Two week trial concludes, Gilbert ’16 acquitted of all charges FROM TRIAL PAGE 1

Saffo also thanked the jury in a statement.

“We know that these are difficult cases,” Saffo said.

During the trial, the prosecution alleged that Gilbert raped the 19-year-old complainant vaginally, orally and anally in the early morning of May 2, 2013.

The defense stated that the two had engaged in consensual sex, arguing that the events of May 2 were “drunken, awkward, college sex,” not rape.

Gilbert, who is no longer enrolled in classes at Dartmouth, did not testify in the trial.

After beginning its deliberations Wednesday afternoon, the 12-person jury, comprising six men and six women, reconvened at 9 a.m. Thursday and returned with a decision about four hours later.

The jurors appeared upbeat as they entered the courtroom.

After the jury read their decision, the approximately 30 people who had assembled to support Gilbert hugged and cried. Following Gilbert’s exit from the courtroom, they gathered outside, saying “thank God” as they embraced.

Jury foreman Rick Rogers, of Enfield, said the complainant’s testimony most influenced his

belief that Gilbert was not guilty.

The complainant testified that she went to sleep after the alleged rape without locking her door. In her testimony, the complainant said she recounted the events of the early morning to a friend who slept in her bed, saying Gilbert had come into the room and they had sex.

Rogers said that for him, “the clincher” was the complainant’s omission of the word “rape” when describing her interaction with Gilbert to her friend.

Such behavior is typical among victims of sexual assault, WISE executive director Peggy O’Neil said.

“It can take a while for people to understand what just happened to them, particularly because there can be a delayed reaction,” she said. “The victim in this case, as I understood her testimony, was trying to understand what happened to her. She had shut down after she was assaulted. As victims will do, she went on with usual activities. This is not unusual.”

Rogers said the events of May 2 became a “problem,” in his view, after one of the complainant’s friends “insisted” that the complainant undergo a sexual assault exam.

All of the jurors spoke while deliberating Wednesday afternoon

and Thursday, Rogers said. One female juror raised some concerns and asked for clarifications, Rogers said, but he declined to specify what these concerns were. Following five hours of discussion, the jury unanimously decided to acquit Gilbert of all charges.

The jury acquitted Gilbert of trespassing because the complainant’s testimony and that of her male floormate were inconsistent, Rogers said.

Rogers said that while the complainant testified that Gilbert was looking for her, her male floormate testified that Gilbert pounded on his door because Gilbert thought he was entering his own room.

Additionally, the complainant testified that she did not think she opened the door for Gilbert. Rogers said this indicated uncertainty on the part of the complainant.

While most of the witnesses appeared to have vested interests in the friend they testified on behalf of, Rogers called the complainant’s roommate “the most credible witness.”

The roommate was “instrumental,” he said, because she had not been drinking. The roommate is a member of The Dartmouth staff.

The jurors “all felt very badly” for the complainant and Gilbert, Rogers said.

SWEET TOOTH

“This is something we wish had never happened, we’re sorry it got this far, but with the case that the state had there was no way that any of us could find him guilty,” he said.

On Monday, Judge Peter Bornstein dismissed a charge of oral penetration and one of two anal penetration charges. The Court dismissed two charges of simple sexual assault on Feb. 25.

During the course of the trial, the prosecution argued that Gilbert raped a female undergraduate student after entering her room uninvited the morning of May 2, 2013. The prosecution alleged that Gilbert raped the complainant vaginally, orally and anally, and that the complainant told him to stop multiple times.

According to witnesses called by the prosecution, the complainant changed after the morning of the alleged assault, becoming quieter and refusing to sleep in her own bed for the rest of spring term.

Defense attorneys argued that intercourse between Gilbert and the complainant was consensual, relying primarily on testimony from the complainant’s roommate.

The roommate was awake in the next room during the alleged assault, defense attorneys said, and did not hear loud noises, crying or expressions of pain on the night

in question.

The defense also argued that the complainant did not seek help for the alleged attack until after talking to a female friend who urged her to go to Dick’s House.

Amy Olson, the College’s senior media relations officer, responded to the verdict in an emailed statement on Thursday afternoon.

“We know that many members of the community have been following the case of the State v. Gilbert with a range of emotions,” Olson said in the statement. “At this time, we are focused on the well-being of the community and moving forward.”

In a joint statement, WISE and the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence called Thursday’s decision “devastating.”

“There is no doubt that it sends a terrible message to survivors of sexual assault,” the statement said.

“Something has got to change if we can allow a man who has no relationship with the victim to violate her in her own bed and face no consequences.”

The team defending Gilbert included Cathy Green of Green and Utter, Robert Cary ’86 of Williams and Connolly and George Ostler ’77 of DesMeules, Olmstead and Ostler.

And you have for the targeted student, as evidenced by the opportunity to join us.

For years, administrators have looked student advocates against sexual assault directly in the eye and said mandatory expulsion for rape will never happen. It was too complicated. There were legal issues. Alumni wouldn’t support it. It was a nice idea, but it was ultimately out of their control.

It’s amazing, it seems, what a slew of bad press can do to political will. After tumultuous months of protests, a federal investigation and a staggering 14 percent drop in applications, the administration and the Board of Trustees somehow managed to do the impossible. Stricter punishments for sexual assault are a welcome change, and we applaud the efforts that went into passing them. Still, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the administration is far better at reacting to image crises than taking the preventative action our community needs.

There is a groundswell of support on this campus to end sexual assault. We saw this just last term when hundreds of students stepped away from their studies and braved the freezing cold night to stand in solidarity with survivors of sexual assault. The only reason we have yet to transform that night into progress is because most students find the issue so nebulous and overwhelming that they don’t believe they can make a difference. But this isn’t true. In fact, the administration developed and thoroughly promoted a six-hour bystander intervention training specifically designed to help students identify high-risk situations and equip them with the skills and confidence they need to prevent assault. Unfortunately for the safety of our peers, the administrations’ lackluster email nomination system has yielded a thin roster of trained students.

The administration makes a huge mistake by not meaningfully tapping into the energy of the student body. Late last summer, Student Assembly drafted a proposal to engage hundreds of students each year in the fight against sexual assault. We recommended that administrators partner with faculty to attach a PE credit to the interactive six-hour program, and we also asked the Greek Leadership Council to make completion of the training a prerequisite for recruitment. After months of difficult meetings and negotiations, the administration agreed to a substantially

watered-down version of our proposal with no credit and a one-hour, lecture-based training.

The reason for this change is plain as day. A short lecture means the administration can cram more students into a single room. They have to host fewer sessions, hire fewer engaging facilitators and spend fewer employee hours conducting trainings. What frustrates us most, though, is by increasing class sizes and foregoing small group interaction, any element of experiential learning disappears. This isn’t the approach we take to undergraduate teaching, yet it is somehow our approach to educating students about violence prevention. To save money, they’ve removed the part of the program that helps students learn best. Where are our priorities?

The administration is full of compassionate individuals who care deeply about students, but they have unfortunately settled for the cheaper solution that is the easiest to coordinate. We cannot approach our biggest collective problems with fainthearted half steps. Rather, the serious challenges that lie ahead demand a more robust partnership between administrators and the student body. If administrators need our help ending sexual violence, then they come into our spaces and ask for it. For example, it would be incredibly powerful to see President Hanlon step into Greek houses and residence halls to articulate his vision for bystander intervention, lay out a meaningful way for students to participate and inspire them to make the College’s troubles their own.

Yes, many larger societal issues are at play when it comes to sexual assault. At a school like Dartmouth, though, we stand a better chance than most to eliminate that kind of violence. A small student population like ours brings tremendous potential to hold each other accountable.

Our highly organized social scene is perfectly situated to develop and spread new social norms.

A critical mass of students can make bystander intervention as much a part of our fabric as blitzing and flair.

We might be young, but we are not children.

The solution to ending sexual assault will never be to lecture us. The answer, instead, is to work with us.

Princeton cancels overnight stays Study: Sleep loss could for Preview weekend in light of lead to brain damage meningitis-related death B y ALEX GETSOS

The Daily Pennsylvanian

B y CORINNE LOWE

The Daily Princetonian

Princeton Preview will be shortened this year for the Class of 2018 and will no longer include an overnight component in light of the recent death of a student at Drexel University that was caused by meningitis and linked to contact with Princeton students.

The University will continue to fly students to campus who require financial assistance, putting students up overnight in hotels in Newark or Philadelphia if necessary before Preview starts. Those students will then fly back home the night Preview ends, Dean of Admission Janet Lavin Rapelye explained.

In addition, admitted students who choose to matriculate will be vaccinated upon their arrival at the University, starting in the summer.

The announcement was made in an email to all undergraduate students on Thursday evening.

“Because the University has been in touch with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about the meningitis outbreak we’ve had, the University has taken efforts to vaccinate our students, but since there was a case where a student became fatally ill, that caused us to reconsider the Princeton Preview program,” Rapelye said in an interview.

Last year, over 2,000 admitted students attended Princeton Preview. At the time, two cases of meningitis had been reported, and Preview occurred as scheduled.

Over 20,000 alumni are expected to come to campus in late May

for Reunions. It remains unclear whether any changes will be made to Reunions programming.

Preview usually takes place over two separate weekends and serves as an introduction to the University for admitted students.

Preview will now take place on Thursday, April 10, and Monday, April 28. It will be a one-day program and will no longer have an overnight component, beginning at 9 a.m. and ending at 7 p.m. Rapelye said.

“We’re doing this in an abundance of caution to limit the social gatherings on campus where there could be additional risk,” Rapelye said.

The University released admission decisions on Thursday for the Class of 2018. In a press release posted in the early afternoon, the University said it had 7.28 percent of applicants, its most selective class in history.

The letter being sent out to admitted students will announce the University’s adjustment to Preview and also states the University’s intention to vaccinate all incoming freshmen upon their arrival at Princeton.

“The CDC has approved the use of the vaccine for incoming freshmen,” Rapelye said.

Students will be vaccinated when they get to campus, whether that be in the summer for athletic programs or right before the start of the term, Rapelye explained.

The University has already started planning for the revised and condensed Preview, folding the programming from what is usually the second day into just Thursday

and Monday, respectively. Rapelye said this will require combining many events.

When asked about how the press surrounding Princeton’s meningitis outbreak and the revised Preview will affect yield this year, Rapelye said it will be difficult to predict.

“We are hopeful that students and families will understand that it is safe to be on this campus, that it is safe to sit next to someone in class, that this is not transmitted through the shaking of hands,” Rapelye said. “The risky behavior comes in social settings — that’s what we’re trying to reduce in this situation.”

Rapelye indicated that the University has been discussing this decision for just over a week and that the decision was made with the consultation of many community members and the approval of the CDC. This is an unprecedented occurrence that Rapelye hopes will not happen in subsequent years.

“For this year, and because of what happened recently, we thought it only prudent to make this decision while preserving what’s good about the program,” Rapelye said. “My hope is that our current students will do everything they can to help us put Princeton in the very best light.”

The schedule for Preview is still in progress. Rapelye said the University will be reaching out to student leaders involved in planning Preview to hear student feedback on which parts of Preview are most essential.

Rapelye acknowledges that tough decisions will have to be made in deciding which programming to cut.

If you don’t get enough sleep, it’s possible that you’ll get brain damage, according to a recent Penn study.

The study, conducted by Professor of Medicine Sigrid Veasey over the past year, examined the effects of restricting sleep in mice. It showed that restricting sleep in mice results in loss of brain neurons.

Themicewerekeptawakeforeighthours overaperiodof afewdaysduringtimeswhen they would normally be asleep. Afterwards, themicewereallowedtosleepnormally.Once the experiment was finished, the mice were euthanized and their brains were examined.

After examining images of the mice’s brains, Veasey found that the mice had lost neurons,butthattherewasnophysicalinjury totheirbrains.However,sinceneuronscannot regenerate, the mice would have sustained long-term brain damage, she said.

Specifically, the brain slices were stained and the number of remaining neurons were counted in the locus coereleus — an area of the brain responsible for regulating attention, mood and sleep-wake cycles, as well as integrating facts and information.

Veasey explained that the mice lost 25 percent of their brain cells and lost connections between the locus coereleus and the control center — or cortex — of the brain.

Althoughthestudyfoundcelllossinmice, the results cannot directly be translated into humans. Veasey is continuing to research whetherornotthebraincanrecoverfromthis loss of sleep and whether there are protective mechanisms that can prevent brain damage resulting from sleep loss.

The recent study was developed following the results of a test conducted on college students, designed by psychology professor David Dinges , to measure attention after reduced sleep. It found students had lapses in attention and worsening performances when deprived of sleep.

“Once they had their first night of recovery — and even after a full three nights

of recovery—theystillhadattentionlapses,“ Veasey said. “This suggests that there is some residual injury to attention.”

Themiceexperimentwas performed on animals so that investigators could examine their brains in detail and understand the underlying mechanism of sleep deprivation and its consequences.

Veasey said her biggest concern for humans was that if people “burn out” their locuscoereleusduetolackof sleep,theycould potentially become depressed.

“Therole[of thelocuscoereleus]inmood is incredibly important, whether it’s frank depression or just where you don’t feel like doing anything — neither of these is good,” she said.

Veaseysaidthatpeopledon’trealizeittakes a long time to recover from sleep loss, and she wonders how much sleep loss could lead to “irreversible” damage.

Dinges, who also studies sleep and the consequences of inadequate sleep, said that the impact on the brain not only depends on how much sleep is lost, but also the method of sleep deprivation as well.

“Part of it comes down to whether the method of sleep deprivation contributed stress that may have ... contributed to effects separate[from]sleeplossperse,”Dingessaid.

Journalist criticizes rise of sponsored content in media B y JOHN FINNEGAN The Harvard Crimson

While the talk was titled “How Advertising Defeated Journalism,” Sullivan focusedhiscriticismonsponsoredcontent, which he defined as a piece in a magazine or newspaper that “looks almost identical to every other article in the magazine, but in fact is written by a copy-writer, hired by a corporation.” Sponsored content, he

“You think you’re reading a writer when you’re actually reading a copywriter,” said Sullivan, particularly singling out Buzzfeed as a prime example of what he considers problematic.

Sullivan, who founded the online journalism website The Dish also heavily criticized more traditional media outlets, including The New York Times, The Associated Press, The Atlantic, and many other publications for participating in the trend, and even worse, for failing to apologize for it.

“There is a conspiracy of silence in the media about the media’s own silence,”

said Sullivan, pointing to a situation when TheAtlanticranasponsoredarticlebythe Church of Scientology and the “businessside of the magazine,” rather than any editorialrepresentatives,apologizedforthe uproar that ensued, while also censoring the comments that appeared on its site.

“Does it matter whether any of this stuff is actually related to the truth? Of course not. The truth is a peripheral matter,” Sullivan said.

Sullivan blamed the proliferation of sponsored content on the rise of the Internet and the resulting diffusion of advertising revenue and collapse of the subscription model.

Internet pageviews traditionally drive

“So along comes this amazing thing called ‘sponsored content,’” he said.

Sullivan said he believed that the increasing popularity of sponsored content would eventually lead to widespread readercynicismandaneventualreduction of the effectiveness in sponsored content.

“Afterawhile,inthiscircusof desperate attempts to get attention…there will be a moment in which the average reader will look at The New York Times and be so disgusted by what it’s become,” he said, adding that he wanted his journalism company, The Dish, “to be there when

that happens.”

Sullivan characterized The Dish, which uses a yearly subscription model and currently has 28,000 members, as an alternative path for journalism.

However, Caroline O’Donovan, an audience member and staff writer at the Nieman Journalism Lab, asked Sullivan whether his model could work for journalists who lack the prominence he had when he launched The Dish.

In response, Sullivan said it had taken him 14 years to reach the point he was at now. “If we can get 28,000 subscribers, why can’t anyone else?” he asked. “Why are they so afraid?”

Students protest ending of Marshall Islands program FROM TEACHING PAGE 1

with the program, Garrod said.

Education department chair George Wolford confirmed in an email that the Marshall Islands program is not affiliated with the department.

Lynn Higgins, associate dean of the faculty for international and interdisciplinary studies, said the College has planned to phase out the program since Garrod’s retirement.

In a response to the students’ letter, which was addressed to both her and Hanlon, Higgins said she and Garrod had communicated about ending the program after his retirement. In her letter Higgins also mentioned safety concerns as a having contributed to the decision.

Higgins said in an interview that the internship program differed from regular off-campus programs because students could not receive academic credit for participating and did not undergo the safety screenings and processes that are required for College off-campus programs.

Garrod said that as long as they act sensibly and respect Marshallese culture, students are just as safe in the Marshall Islands as they are on campus, In their letter to Hanlon, students emphasized that they felt safe in the small community of Majuro, the capital. Located in the Pacific

Ocean, the Islands have a total land area of 70 square miles and a population of about 71,000.

Julien Blanchet ’15, who attended the program this winter, said he had a “one of a kind” experience and pointed to the differences in culture and geography between the Marshall Islands and the U.S. Taylor Enoch-Stevens ’15, who taught three eighth grade science classes this past winter, described her experience as challenging but said the community welcomed her.

Hannah Coleman ’15 said she believed the Marshall Islands program could serve as a model for other off-term programs.

“I learned more in that classroom than I have in some of my Dartmouth classes,” Coleman said.

Garrod said he looks back on the program’s tenure with satisfaction and pride.

“I’m a firm believer that Dartmouth students — sometimes from quite privileged backgrounds — learn a very great deal from being exposed to a different culture, particularly in a developing country,” he said.

Garrod said he is currently investigating the possibility of sending teachers to the Marshall Islands through a program unaffiliated with Dartmouth.

Representatives from the Marshall Islands Ministry of Education did not respond to requests for comment by press time.

lumbia University at 6.9 percent, according to The Crimson, The Yale Daily News and The Columbia Daily Spectator, respectively.

The 11.5 percent acceptance rate represents a rise from previous years.

The College admitted 10 percent of applicants to the Class of 2017 and 9.4 percent of applicants to the Class of 2016, a record low.

Of the accepted students, 38.5 percent are valedictorians, 9.9 percent are salutatorians and 97 percent rank in the top 10 percent of their high school classes, according to a College press release. Their average SAT score falls in the 98th percentile nationwide and their mean ACT score was a 32.6.

“Looking at the traditional profile information — academic performance, testing, demographics, geographic, biographic factors and testing — it’s really clear that it’s another exceptional group of students that have been admitted,” Dean of Admissions Maria Laskaris said.

Around half of those admitted identify as students of color, 46 percent qualify for need-based financial aid and 12.4 percent will be the first in their families to attend college.

Nearly 9 percent are international students, including the first students admitted from Fiji and Iran.

Laskaris said the diversity of applicants self identifying by race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, home life, community and secondary school experiences, made the admissions process exceptionally interesting and complex.

She said she sensed a real interest in co-curricular engagement among applicants. In their applications, many students discussed issues and experiences that held personal meaning, like anti-bullying efforts and campaigns to end sexual violence.

The class’s diversity extends to their academic interests, which include 54 of Dartmouth’s academic departments and interdisciplinary programs, with the most cited areas of interest including biology, engineering and economics, according to the press release.

Alex Weinberg, of Dallas, was admitted to the College on Thursday after being deferred when he applied early decision in the fall. He said Dartmouth’s small size, campus, and the makeup of its student body influenced his decision to apply.

“I really enjoy the people,” Weinberg said. “I met plenty of great people there in just one weekend, and that was the thing that attracted me the most — spending time with people I’d really like to go to college with.”

Weinberg was playing baseball when the online portal opened and had to wait until the game concluded before he could check his iPhone.

A teammate of Weinberg’s, Phil Rasansky, opened his acceptance letter to the College in the parking lot following the game. After hearing the news, he called his friends and family and breathed a sigh of relief, Rasansky said.

“I loved it when I visited,” Rasansky said. “I’m still waiting to hear back from a couple places, but I imagine that I’ll be accepting that letter pretty soon.”

Jarius James Brown, another accepted student from Hollywood, Fla., was recruited to Dartmouth to play football after attending a camp and connecting with coach Buddy Teevens.

Brown, who learned of his ac-

ceptance at a barbershop Thursday afternoon, said he is excited to live outside of Florida, try skiing and connect with a new community.

Rachel Strodel, a senior from Cambridge, Mass., read her acceptance letter Thursday afternoon when she returned home after a run. Upon hearing the news, she said she ran into the next room to tell her mom and grandmother.

Strodel said she envisions spending much of her time at Dartmouth outdoors.

“It’s a very unique place in its geographical location and small town, and I think that creates a sense of community that affects everything.”

Students were notified online of their acceptance today at 5 p.m.

Admissions officers expect approximately 1,110 to enroll as students in the Class of 2018.

Baseball looks for Ivy championship B y GAYNE KALUSTIAN The Dartmouth Staff

The six-time defending Red Rolfe Division champion baseball team starts Ivy League play this weekend. Co-captain Jeff Keller ’14 called the team feisty, competitive and relentless — in prime position to return to the Ivy Championship Series.

“I feel better about this team than the other three,” he said. “The other three have been great, and last year’s chemistry was fantastic, but I honestly have a better feeling as far as chemistry and competitiveness and the intangibles.”

With the next month dedicated to the grueling League schedule of back-to-back weekend double headers, the team is looking for one thing

and one thing only: an Ivy League Championship.

“It would be a disservice to the players if we thought about any objective other than to win a championship every year,” head coach Bob Whalen said.

Dartmouth (3-9) opens Ivy play this week against Cornell University, which sits atop the Ivy League’s Lou Gehrig Division, with a 7-7 record.

Before taking on Sacred Heart University, which handed the Big Red four losses, Cornell scored 76 runs in 10 games. The apparently potent offense, however, was shut out in the first game against Sacred Heart, which put star pitcher Kody Kerski on the mound for most of the game. Kerski allowed just four hits against 29 at bats, leaving Cornell scoreless.

The Big Green is taking preseason results in stride without putting too much weight on early results, Ryan Toimil ’14 said. Teams’ performances before Ivy play is not necessarily indicative of how they will fare, he said.

The defending champion Columbia Lions sit at the bottom of the Gehrig Division with a 5-12 record, after tough competition over the break, including No. 15 University of Texas at San Antonio and Texas A&M University.

Among Ivy League schools, Dartmouth has one of the lowest win percentages at .250 early in the season. The Big Green is ahead of only Harvard University, which will open Ivy play with a 4-13 record.

B y dan bornstein The Dartmouth Staff

Since college basketball entered the national spotlight, it has been marked by class warfare. The most wellregarded programs receive lucrative television and equipment deals, while most produce little revenue. Schools like University of Kentucky and the University of North Carolina have an essentially unlimited recruiting budget.

Smaller Division I programs, meanwhile, cannot afford to send coaches across the country to court high school talent.

The latest installment, as Billy Witz reports in Tuesday’s New York Times, has to do with analytics, which have already begun to revolutionize sports.

SportVU, a sophisticated sports analysis system that uses cameras to monitor movement on a basketball court, is one of the newest technological development in this growing field.

It can inform assessments of a team’s performance and boost scouting reports about opponents, shedding light on which strategies work best.

However, it costs roughly $100,000 annually, making it accessible only to a limited group of schools. Some who can afford it, like Duke University and Louisville University, have already begun to use the system.

Yet, rather than decry the gap between the power conferences and the lesser-known mid-major leagues, let’s ask a better question: Have the successes of prestigious programs trickled down to ones with fewer resources? I see two ways that this has occurred, both evident in this year’s NCAA Tournament.

First, the tournament’s broad television coverage grants national exposure to many lesser-known schools. The immense popularity of the best-seeded teams is what triggered television networks to broadcast college basketball in the first place. Mid-major conferences enjoy the media benefits because of the tournament’s inclusivity, which grants automatic bids to winners of all 32 Division-I basketball leagues.

The tournament’s first-round upsets are all the more glamorous because they are often an underdog’s first opportunity to play in front of a national audience. No doubt that these

victories pave the way for coaches to attract elite high school basketball stars such as George Mason University’s magical run to the Final Four in 2006.

In this way, the tournament’s national television coverage doesn’t merely magnify the glory of one game or one Cinderella run. Rather, by raising the profile of an under-appreciated program, the national spotlight can provide a foundation for coaches to build a program’s longer-term reputation. There is historical precedent for this phenomenon: the Big East conference rose to prominence in the 1980s because its founders had seized on opportunities for television broadcasts previously never afforded to Northeast-based schools.

Second, assistants for legendary coaches are often hired to fill head coaching jobs at second-tier schools.

They end up adopting the philosophy and game-plan of the coaches they worked with — effectively transferring the basketball genius of the top-ranked teams to smaller programs.

That knowledge transfer may be paying the greatest dividends right here in the Ivy League. For the second year in a row, Harvard University pulled off an upset victory in the first round.

Coach Tommy Amaker formerly played for and coached alongside Duke legend Mike Krzyzewski. Harvard has soared to the top of Ivy League hoops, after years where the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton University were without question far ahead of the pack. The transformation has to at least be partly attributed to the wisdom Amaker gleaned from Coach K. Sometimes a protégé may build his program to be on par with that of his mentor. Billy Donovan, who assisted Louisville’s Rick Pitino at Kentucky in the 1990s and played for him at Providence College, has catapulted University of Florida into the upperechelons of college basketball.

There may be no hope of ever leveling the financial playing field in college sports, but it doesn’t necessarily require complex analytics systems to build a reputable basketball program.

Instead, lesser-known teams can draw upon two resources long held by their wealthier peers — television exposure and Hall of Fame-level coaching.

Baseball aims for its seventh straight Red Rolfe division title FROM BASEBALL PAGE 12

The Big Green, however, took on one of the toughest preseason schedules, with three of its four opponents — Florida International University, Texas Christian University and the University of Kansas — ranked at one point this season in the top-30 NCAA Division I baseball teams.

The strength of Dartmouth’s preseason opponents, co-captain

Dustin Selzer ’14 said, is just one of many reasons the team is confident about its chances this year in the Ivy League.

“I think having faced these great arms from Kansas, TCU and FIU really got us ready for the guys we’re going to face this weekend,” he said.

“Cornell and Princeton have great arms, but it’s nothing we haven’t seen.”

The four seniors on the team

have made it to the Championship every year they’ve worn the green and white, but have left each time without the League title. Dartmouth lost last year to the Lions (5-12) who return both starting pitchers from the Championship series, seniors Joey Donino and David Speer.

The three-time runners up, Louis Concato ’14 said, are hungry for the win.

The team has strived to win the

Ivy Championship since his freshman year, he said.

“We’ve come extremely close every year, so we’re just trying to relay that message to the freshmen, especially keeping in mind that we know what it’s like to lose in the Championship,” he said.

The lineup includes a mix of new talent and veteran experience, a point of unique bonding for the players, Toimil said.

Freshmen Michael Ketchmark ’17 and Mike Concato ’17 have both seen significant playing time.

Mike Concato made his college debut in the Big Green’s last game against Kansas, in which he allowed only two runs in eight innings. The pitching performance, Whalen said, proved Dartmouth’s ability to fill the void created by the loss of four members of last season’s rotation.

“Mike Concato threw as good of a game as any player all year,”

Whalen said. “That was certainly against the best offensive team we’ll see all year.”

With its midweek game against Siena College cancelled due to unfavorable weather conditions, Dartmouth will start League play coming off of the extra-inning win against Kansas 3-2 last Sunday.

Last season, the Big Green tallied a program record 32 wins but still fell short of the ultimate prize of an Ivy championship.

“I think we know how good we can be, and I think we know you can’t just show up and win,” Keller said. “The Ivy League is very balanced. I’ve lost to and beaten every team. You don’t just dominate a team and you’re done. Going back to the intangibles, I think everyone realizes that we’re no different than any other team, but we have as much talent and experience as everyone and we have the ability to win as much as anyone else.”
