On Oct. 8, Yale University’s program covers for the 100th Yale-Dartmouth football game featured Native American imagery that immediately drew sharp criticism.

This year’s cover featured images of eight covers from past years, several of which contained illustrations of Native Americans including Dartmouth’s unofficial former mascot, the Indian. Throughout this season, Yale’s game programs have included images of historic covers for all home games.

Students lining up for local food on Thursday evening.

On Monday, the Executive Committee on Inclusive Excellence sent out a campus-wide email announcing that University of Pennsylvania professor Shaun Harper will join Dartmouth to lead the Inclusive Excellence action plan’s external review committee.

Harper, an author of 12 books, currently serves as the founder and executive director of Penn’s Center for the Study of Race

and Equity in Education. His research — which focuses on race and higher education, masculinity and college environments, among other topics — has been cited in over 4,000 publications, according to his faculty page. Harper also serves as president-elect of the Association for the Study of Higher Education and serves on editorial boards for several peer-reviewed journals.

The Inclusive Excellence action plan seeks to increase diversity across a range of offices

and groups of people. Its website outlines six main initiatives and multiple subinitiatives to reach these goals. The external review committee will report to the College’s Board of Trustees to hold Dartmouth accountable for its commitments.

The email also called the current American climate “one of the most divisive times in our history — a time rife with social injustice, polarizing speech from political candidates, senseless violence and considerable fear and unrest in our

communities.” In light of these circumstances, the College will open up Rollins Chapel every Tuesday from noon to 2 p.m. as a space for reflection.

The Executive Committee of Inclusive Excellence is comprised of College President Phil Hanlon, Provost Carolyn Dever, Executive Vice President Rick Mills and Vice President for Institutional Diversity and Equity Evelynn Ellis. The external review committee, headed

by Harper, will meet for the first time in the spring of 2017.

Professors develop app to generate election enthusiasm

By ALEX FREDMAN The Dartmouth

With two presidential candidates possessing historically low approval ratings, the tone of the 2016 election has been less cordial than usual.

As a result, many Americans have grown frustrated with this election, which pundits fear will depress voter turnout.

Government professor Joseph Bafumi and Russian professor Mikhail Gronas are trying to reverse this trend through their new app called “HillaryDonald Go,” an electionthemed augmented reality game.

“One purpose is to get more people excited about and involved in the election,” Bafumi said. He added that he hopes the app will generate excitement among younger people about participating in the election.

The free app, loosely based on the popular game “Pokémon Go,” became available on the App Store last week. Upon launching the game, the player’s geographic location is placed on a map. Then, several “booths” appear on the map near the player’s location.

“There are about one million booths around the country, in

locations such as cafes, university buildings, Wal-Mart stores, parks, bridges [and] various landmarks,” Gronas said. On campus, booths can be found at places like Rauner Library, Wilder Hall, Parkhurst Hall and Alumni Gym. As players enter within a 50-meter radius of a booth, a large green button appears. After pressing the button, the players’ cameras turn on, and augmented reality versions of candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump appear on the screen.

Players then choose their favorite candidate by touching that candidate on the screen. The selected

candidate’s figure increases in size and says a quote from the campaign trail, such as Trump saying “wow” or Clinton saying “thank you very much.”

Players then have the opportunity to show their level of enthusiasm for that candidate. Players have 10 seconds to send positive “vibes” to their candidate by shaking their phone.

The more they shake their phone, the more positive vibes are sent.

“Sending vibes is essentially analogous to voting; sort of a ‘gamified’ voting,” Gronas said. He added SEE APP PAGE 2

Hillary Clinton for President

We’re All Involved

Clinton is the best choice to lead America for the next four years.

Every four years, presidential candidates and their supporters stress the importance of the current election. Hyperbolic statements about the apocalyptic future that would be in store for us if the other person wins color every cycle. However, we can say, without a great deal of reservation, that this election is at least one of the most important in the last quarter century — or even in the last 80 years, according to some experts. Before us stand two candidates that seem to be diametrically opposed, if not on every single issue then at least in experience, values and demeanor. It is traditional for The Dartmouth to endorse a candidate for president. During this election in particular, we feel a responsibility to make the case to all of our readers, whatever their political affiliations, that there is only one choice to be made if our country’s prosperity, future and values are to be secured. That is why, after much deliberation, we the editorial staff have chosen to endorse Hillary Rodham Clinton for President of the United States.

While it is important to note that Clinton’s opponent has made remarks and committed actions that are racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, xenophobic and Islamaphobic and has repeatedly proven himself unfit to hold an office as serious as that of the president, this election should not be about choosing between “the lesser of two evils,” as the media has often framed it. It should be about choosing the most experienced, qualified and competent presidential candidate — and no matter how you look at it, that candidate is Clinton.

Clinton’s résumé of public service is staggering.

Since her days as a law student at Yale University, where she worked on the Senate subcommittee on Migratory Labor, to her time as First Lady of Arkansas and later the U.S ., to her service as a U.S. Senator and then Secretary of State, Clinton has spent decade upon decade serving the American people. Not only has she done so by holding office; she has also used that time in office to champion important causes, ranging from education to women’s rights. Upon graduating law school, for instance, she went to work at the Children’s Defense Fund. As the First Lady of Arkansas, she established and chaired organizations for the protection of children and families. As First Lady of the U.S., she took on an unprecedented role in shaping policy, and Bill Clinton often described

them as a “twofer” — two presidents for the price of one. As Secretary of State, she continued to fight for causes she believed in, consistently raising the issue of the rights and treatment of women and children around the world.

Clinton’s detractors have often criticized her for being a “career politician.” Dedicating one’s life to serving one’s country, however, shouldn’t be a reason to tear them down — it should be a reason to celebrate them. If this reflects an intense ambition to be president, then what is so wrong with that? It seems that someone who has had her eye on the presidency for several years is more likely to be invested in her performance than someone who turned a mere publicity stunt into a campaign for one of the most powerful positions in the world.

The criticism that Clinton is dishonest or “crooked” is likewise unfounded and unfair.

During this election, this sentiment has often been supported by catchphrases about Benghazi and her email scandal. The opposition has even gone so far as to outright call her a criminal, and “Lock her up!” has become one of their more popular catchphrases. One thing should be made perfectly clear: independent government agencies investigated both of these instances. In both cases, they reached the conclusion that Clinton’s actions did not warrant charges against her. Whether or not one chooses to doubt the integrity of this system, as Clinton’s opponent has done vocally, is up to them. Admittedly, Clinton did not handle these situations as well as she should have, and she herself has admitted to as much. However, in decades of public service, even the most effective leader is bound to make mistakes, and Clinton certainly wouldn’t be the first presidential candidate to have done so. This doesn’t mean that we as voters should discount a long and impressive record of exemplary service.

In the last several months, this election has often felt more like a reality TV show than anything else. Amidst the drama, tweets and name-calling, it may be easy to forget what this contest is truly about: choosing the most effective person to lead our country for the next four years. Clinton has proven, through her storied career of service to the public, that she is the most qualified person to hold that office.

Affiliated students should listen to those excluded by the Greek system.

At Dartmouth, it is practically impossible to escape the Greek system. If you’re hard at work in the Class of 1902 Room, you notice when new sorority sisters run through dressed in flair. On your walk home from the Stacks, you notice when a large group of brothers walk down Webster Avenue. Greek houses affect all Dartmouth students, whether or not they are affiliated.

Because all students interact with Greek life, it is important to consider Ben Szuhaj’s Oct. 18 column, “In Defense of Fraternities.”

Szuhaj argues that fraternities are inclusive spaces that provide a sense of brotherhood. I do not deny that fraternities as well as sororities can be sources of comfort. I also recognize their capacity to do good in the community, as evidenced by their aid to students affected by the Morton fire. But, in turn, affiliated students should be receptive to criticism and empathize with those who feel alienated by the Greek system. The issues people have with fraternities are more than just “crazy stories,” as Szuhaj calls them, but historical and current patterns of exclusivity. Enjoying Greek life does not mean one cannot criticize it; in fact, being affiliated is all the more reason to recognize issues in the system.

Discrediting those brave enough to speak out about their own experiences with exclusion from Greek life is a way of blaming the victim. It’s similar to arguments like, “What about racism against white people?” or “Don’t white lives matter, too?” People do not critique Greek life to be “entertained,” as Szuhaj claims, but because Greek life embodies exclusivity.

Fraternities and sororities represent systems of privilege, so it is all the more important that those who enjoy these privileges are sensitive to those who do not and, in many cases, cannot.

For people affiliated with a fraternity, Greek life may easily appear inclusive. I do not doubt that many students involved in Greek life enjoy the chance to make a diverse set of friends and “have their voices heard” — but that is because they are already in a Greek house.

Some people try to rush and do not get in, as evident in the 79 percent bid acceptance rate for Dartmouth’s eight sororities. Although the remaining 21 percent includes students who dropped rush midway, it also includes women who have been excluded by every sorority. Other students may choose not to join a Greek house because of financial strain; while Greek houses tend to offer scholarships or financial aid, some students do not receive any aid, and even those who do may still feel financially unable to participate or may choose to prioritize other expenses.

But for all unaffiliated students, whether or not they rushed, the Greek system often feels like an “us and them” environment. Instead of thinking of the internal inclusivity of fraternities and sororities, we should also consider how affiliated members treat other members of the student body as a whole. Choosing to shift the focus away from criticism against fraternities is a way to conveniently discredit those who have been left out of the Greek system.

Szuhaj claims that “we hear the crazy stories all too often” about fraternities. These crazy

stories, however, are not random incidents, but related events that clue us into fraternity culture across the country. One recent story entails University of Oklahoma’s Sigma Alpha Epsilon brothers chanting racist slurs. The event sounds similar to Duke University’s Asian themed party, which included invitations that read “Herro Nice Duke Peopre,” or University of Mississippi’s Sigma Phi Epsilon hanging a noose on a statue of civil rights leader James Meredith. Dartmouth College cannot distance itself from such stories, and, indeed, has a fair share of its own. The recently banned fraternity Alpha Delta hosted a Bloods and Crips themed party in 2013 with then-national sorority Delta Delta Delta, and Kappa Delta Epsilon has held an annual Kentucky Derby themed party until changing the theme to Woodstock this year.

It is not just these outright racist parties that should be concerning but also the culture in which they are thought to be appropriate.

According to a 2010 paper by University of Connecticut sociology professor Matthew Hughey in the Society for the Study of Social Programs, the average membership of a Greek house consists of 2.4 nonwhite students out of 63, representing a mere 3.8 percent.

While Greek fraternities and sororities often partake in philanthropic or community-based initiatives, there is also a history of tense race relations.

Greek life also has a history of heteronormativity, a trait that is implicit in institutions that separate people based on gender. Szuhaj claims, “At its heart, a fraternity is a brotherhood, a tight-knit group of guys.” Being a brotherhood, however, is part of the problem.

Specific forms of masculinity are encoded in the idea of brotherhood, and therefore in a fraternity. While being a sister in a sorority allows a woman to celebrate her femininity and being in a fraternity provides brotherhood, this often excludes gender-nonconforming students and perpetuates traditional notions of femininity and masculinity.

These problems of exclusivity and lack of empathy are not isolated to Greek life, but extend to the social and political environment of the country. Greek houses are merely a microcosm of the gender politics prevailing in American politics and culture more broadly.

They demonstrate power; all U.S. presidents since 1825 except two were members of a fraternity. “Locker room talk,” after all, stems from the idea that men and women behave differently when segregated — as they are in Greek life. The mostly white fraternities and sororities reflect in miniature the racial divide and privilege in our country. Ignoring those who did not make it into the Greek house of their choice — or into any house at all — highlights the widespread belief that, “If I’m fine, you’re fine.” Rather than view criticism of Greek houses as an attack and threat to their lifestyle, we should realize the negative impact they can have on others. In the same way that patriotism does not mean being closed to improvements, enjoying Greek life does not mean being closed off to criticism of the system.

Dartmouth’s Indian mascot criticized FROM YALE PAGE 2

Te-Moak tribe, are among those expected to be at the meetings.

Fayard said she is looking forward to the meetings.

“It seemed to me that a lot of folks in athletics [department] didn’t even know, even after the game, that [the imagery] was on there,” she told the Register. “I’m really interested in educating people, not just so they know it’s wrong, but also to know why it’s wrong, given the history of caricatures of Native people and how it affects Native people today.”

Onyx Brunner, the Yale student who posted the image of the cover on Overheard at Yale, a popular campus Facebook page, told the Yale Daily News that the campus administration and organizers of sports events should be more cognizant of and sensitive about what imagery would be considered problematic.

Dartmouth was founded in 1769 to educate Native American youth, but there were only 19 Native American graduates during the college’s first 200 years. The college established the Native Ameri-

can program in 1970 to recommit itself to its objective of advancing Native American education. In 1974, Dartmouth adopted the new nickname “The Big Green.” Its athletics teams were unofficially known as “the Indians” until then.

Criticisms over usage of the Dartmouth Indian mascot have still flared up in the College’s recent history.

Last October, flyers promoting apparel and accessories featuring the Dartmouth Indian were distributed at Dartmouth during the final days of the Native American Fly-In program, during which prospective Native American students visit campus. Provost Carolyn Dever and Dean of the College Rebecca Biron criticized such actions at the time as “cowardly and disrespectful.”

In December 2006, Dartmouth Athletics apologized for scheduling a hockey tournament with the University of North Dakota “Fighting Sioux.” UND was banned by the NCAA, along with several other colleges with American Indian nicknames, from presenting its logos during playoff games.

Tracks from artists you may not know Amy Hassinger reads for Poetry and Prose series

By VICTOR WU The Dartmouth

The songs listed below are some of the newest tracks released by some less well-known artists.

“Blood Sweat & Tears,” BTS, “Wings” While the Bangtan Boys may not be well known in the United States, they are quickly becoming one of the biggest international boy band groups in Asia, Europe and South America. Hailing from South Korea, this seven-member boyband has been able to subvert the often manufactured K-POP machine to tackle important social topics, even in a conservative country.

Their latest song, “Blood Sweat & Tears,” sees the group shed its previous adolescent boy band image for a more mature and artistic transformation. The song’s melancholic and electronic-dance vibe has drawn comparisons to the sounds of Western artists like Major Lazer and Justin Bieber. The accompanying high-production value music video is complete with wacky costumes and backdrops. The video and the lyrics of the song, in a twist on this seeming-perfection, bring up metaphors about the impossibility of perfection. In a K-POP industry that holds celebrities up as the ideal partners without any flaws in looks, personality or talent, that message is important.

“Picking Cotton,” Cupcakke,

“Audacious”

Elizabeth Eden Harris — known by her stage name Cupcakke — is a rapper from Chicago best known for her explicit music videos featuring sex-positive imagery and lyrics. But don’t dismiss her for her fun and raunchy anthems; she’s shown herself to be a songwriter of immense talent who raps about deeply personal topics. And people are taking note. In fact, Pitchfork highlighted her as one of the nine essential rappers to not miss this year. Rolling Stone named her second album S.T.D. as one of the best rap albums of 2016.

“Picking Cotton” is one song off her latest album “Audacious” that shows just why Harris is one of the most exciting up-and-coming emcees. “Of course, there’s no remorse / Upon the force, freedom of speech till I’m hoarse,” she raps in a statement for racial justice. She joins the voices of other female black artists this year, including Beyoncé and Solange Knowles, tackling issues of racism, slavery and police brutality. But unlike them, Harris is unrestrained by the burdens of fame, allowing her to be direct and cutting without the fear of controversy. Who knew one of the most salient voices of 2016 would come from such an unexpected artist?

“Same Old Blues” and “You’re Mine,” Phantogram, “Three”

Phantogram is an electronic-pop

duo from Greenwich, New York.

They self-describe their music as street beat pop with influences including the Flaming Lips and David Bowie.

“Same Old Blues” and “You’re Mine” make up the one-two punch from their latest album “Three” released on Oct. 7. While “Same Old Blues” features a gospel choir framed with synths and a roaring chorus, “You’re Mine” is a more rock influenced song exploring a passionate and possessive relationship. Both songs are bangers, with uptempo beats and productions.

The sonic contrasts between the songs showcase the duo’s range and also make for a hypnotic listen.

“Learning to Fly,” Deep Sea Arcade Deep Sea Arcade is a psychedelic indie band hailing from Australia.

Featuring two members, Nic Mckenzie and Nick Weaver, the band has toured with the likes of Noel Gallagher and the Charlatans.

Currently preparing for their second album, Deep Sea Arcade recently released a single called “Learning to Fly” featuring both psychedelic and electronic influences. Staying true to its namesake, the song feels like the wind blowing in your hair with your arms outstretched, conjuring up the image of Jack and Rose standing on the bow of the Titanic. Featuring a soaring electric guitar and layered vocals, the song is a blissful fiveminute listen perfect for riding your bike or, more obviously, flying.

Soccer standout Stefan Cleveland ’16 finds success in Louisville

By BRANDON LEE The Dartmouth

Former Big Green goalkeeper Stefan Cleveland ’16 knows quite a bit about winning. The 6-foot 1-inch Dayton, Ohio native has had the perfect college career.

After riding the pine behind the incumbent Noah Cohen ’14 his freshman year, Cleveland has made a name for himself on the pitch as a premier goalkeeper both during his time at the College and now at the University of Louisville.

As a sophomore, Cleveland made his debut against the College of the Holy Cross on Sept. 7, 2013 and made an immediate and lasting impact. Against the Crusaders, Cleveland allowed just one goal on seven saves en route to a 1-1 tie. For the remainder of the 2013 season, he allowed just four more goals out of seven games, made 24 saves and recorded his first shutout against Lafayette College. Unsurprisingly, Cleveland only got better.

There was “constant progression individually and with the team,” he said.

However, he does not attribute his improvement solely to his motivation. Rather, he credits Ryan Fahey, an assistant head coach for the men’s soccer team now in his third year, who specializes in goalkeeping.

“He really pushed me to get out of my comfort zone in training every day,” Cleveland said.

During his junior year, Cleveland posted six shut out games, a record which he surpassed in his senior year with nine shutouts. He finished his undergraduate career with 33 goals allowed, 16 shutouts and an astonishing 126 saves. He posted a stellar 0.99 goals against average, a measure of the number of goals allowed multiplied by the length of the game and divided across the minutes logged.

Cleveland said he thinks the team improved every year, noting the improved organization of the team’s defense.

“I didn’t have to make as many saves,” he said. “I had five guys in front of me who were rock solid.

They didn’t have to call on me too often, but when they did, I tried not to let it slip through the cracks.”

Cleveland helped lead the team to two consecutive Ivy League Championships and two NCAA Tournament appearances in his final years, which he identified as his “proudest moments at Dartmouth.” For his efforts, in 2012 and 2013, the Ivy League gave him First Team All-Ivy honors.

He earned the prestigious role of co-captain during his senior year, along with being voted the Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year in 2015.

Reminiscing about the two championships on the pitch, Cleveland noted how great it was to have a packed and excited home crowd at Burnham Field.

Stefan Cleveland ’16 is currently ranked 11th in the NCAA for goals against average.

“It was unbelievable when we put the first goal in the net,” he said. “You could feel it in the air.”

But after his senior year, Cleveland said he didn’t know what he wanted to do regarding soccer.

Because the Ivy League only allows a redshirt due to injury, Cleveland was not eligible to play another year of soccer for the Big Green.

Instead, with one year of NCAA eligibility left, he took his talents to the Atlantic Coast Conference.

A mutual friend helped put him in touch with the Cardinals’ head coach, Ken Lolla, whose experience helped make the team a powerhouse in NCAA soccer, Cleveland added. Given the soccer program’s track record at Louisville, the decision was “pretty easy” for Cleveland.

“The facilities and resources are one of the most unbelievable programs in college soccer, hands down,” he said. “It’s truly awesome here.”

While Lolla cannot remember the last time he has had a graduate student transfer in to play for the Cardinals, he praised Cleveland for already playing college soccer at a high level.

Since transferring, Cleveland has had to face the likes of Wake Forest University, Notre Dame University and Syracuse University, three teams currently ranked in the NCAA’s top-20 rankings.

Lolla noted that Cleveland is a very mature and disciplined student-athlete.

“He’s adjusted to one, the speed of play and two, the rigors of playing in the ACC, which appears to be the best conference in the country,” Lolla said.

With a 10-3-2 record, the Louisville Cardinals currently rank 13th in the NCAA. The team is also second to Wake Forest in the Atlantic subsection of the ACC. Similarly, Cleveland continues to dominate. Through 15 games, Cleveland has only allowed nine goals and shut out eight teams, including the University of Connecticut, Notre Dame and Syracuse. He boasts a 0.795 save percentage, 35 saves and a 0.581 goals against average percentage, which is currently 11th in the NCAA. While this will be Cleveland’s only year at Louisville, soccer still continues to be a part of his future.

He has an engineering degree from Dartmouth and is pursuing

an MBA at Louisville but wants to play professional ball. With his success with the Big Green as well as the Cardinals, it’s clear that he’s taking all the right steps.

“He...is very tuned in and understands what he needs to do to be successful,” Lolla said.
