The College received a $925,000 grant to fund cybersecurity research from the Department of Energy.

On Oct. 9, the College received a $925,000 grant from the Cyber Resilient Energy Delivery Consortium to develop cyber-secure energy delivery systems for the electric power and oil and gas industries, the College announced. This funding comes from the United States

Department of Energy.

This grant is a part of the newly-created CREDC’s $28.1 million project to create secure cyber networks for the nation’s energy delivery systems. The consortium, spearheaded by the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign, is composed of 11 universities and national laboratories. The College has been involved in the project

since its inception a decade ago.

Associate director of the College’s Institute for Security, Technology and Society Bill Nisen said that the consortium aims to ensure a safe, secure cyber environment for students, faculty and staff. The College was selected to be a part of the consortium for SEE CYBERSECURITY PAGE 2

For the past several months, members of the Dartmouth community have had access to a wireless network that allows them to connect to the internet at universities across the world, but many upperclassmen remain unaware of it.

Despite this new technology, Information Technology Services says that there are no plans to replace the Dartmouth Secure Network.

A New Hampshire state representative is seeking to make Dartmouth more accessible for New Hampshire residents and students, and is bringing the College’s management of a centuryold fund and the Second College Grant established by the state to help lowincome students into question.

According to documents from 1807 when the New gave 42 square miles of land in Coos County — now known as the Second College Grant — to the College, all revenues extracted from the property must be used to help low-income students from New Hampshire attend the College. Later, in 1883, the legislature appropriated $10,000 to Dartmouth with the condition that it create a fund for New Hampshire’s poor to

attend the College.

The latter measure also required that the College submit annual reports on the use of the endowed fund — known as the 1883 State Fund — to the state government.

“Dartmouth is not above the laws of the state of New Hampshire, although sometimes it acts like it is,” state representative Renny Cushing (D-Hampton) said.

“They took the money and ignored the law.”

Cushing has submitted a request for legislation to be drafted to bring Dartmouth in line with existing legislative demands, including the 1883 State Fund’s reporting requirement.

The College and Cushing are both discussing reporting options for the fund with the charitable trusts directorate in the state attorney general’s ofSEE LAND GRANT PAGE 3

College and state dispute use of Second College Grant FROM LAND GRANT PAGE 1

Diana Lawrence wrote in an email.

The current value of the initial $10,000 in the 1883 State Fund could be as high as $14,000,000 if it had been well-invested — as it should have been, according to the initial enabling legislation — Cushing said.

Cushing also claimed that the College has foregone a requirement that members of the state’s executive council, the president of the state senate and the speaker of the state house of representatives sit as ex Board of Trustees, as the governor currently does, when matters involving the management of the Second College Grant are under discussion.

The requirement may have been voided in the 1970s, however, after former College President John Sloan Dickey stepped down, history College historian Jere Daniell said.

Even so, there was no record of any meeting involving the members of the legislature or executive council after the early 1920s, when the Trustees voted to allow the clearing of softwood forests by the Brown Paper Company of Berlin in the Second College Grant, Daniell said.

The harvesting of the softwood — which was meant to be carried out at 40-year intervals before forest management policies began to view clearcutting less favorably over the course of the 20th century — raised roughly $1 million for the College in the 1920s and 1930s, Daniell said.

The institution of land grants for colleges — even before the advent of land-grant universities in the latter half of the 19th century — was not uncommon, Daniell said.

There exist several grants in New Hampshire for secondary schools and academies as well as a grant in Maine for Bowdoin College, he said.

Cushing began investigating Dartmouth’s use of state-appropriated funds during a broader look at college affordability in New Hampshire, an issue about which he is passionate. After recalling that Dartmouth had received numerous gifts from the state, Cushing began to investigate how those gifts were being used, he said.

In a pair of letters from Cushing to College President Phil Hanlon and Board of Trustees chair Bill Helman ’80, Cushing requested a variety of information about the reporting practices of the College to the state government in relation

to both the 1883 State Fund and the Second College Grant’s revenues.

Lawrence wrote in an email that the obligation to use all funds from the Second College Grant to educate low-income New Hampshire residents was voided by a legislative act in 1919, when the state legislature began to allow the College to use surplus funds for general purposes.

Some of the funds from the grant were utilized to build the President’s House, Cushing said.

“I don’t begrudge President Hanlon living in public housing, but we’d like to see that students from New Hampshire growing up in public housing in Portsmouth or Nashua or Berlin have the same opportunities for education that President Hanlon had,” he said.

Dartmouth has more than two dozen endowed funds aimed at helping students from New Hampshire, Lawrence wrote. In total, these funds have accounted for $8,178,139 in scholarships for New Hampshire residents between 1999 and 2014, the years for which data are available, she wrote.

Over the same period, the College has awarded a total of residents of New Hampshire, and at no point in the 15-year period

has the total aid awarded to New Hampshire residents failed to exceed the amount awarded from the endowed funds by any less than $450,000, Lawrence wrote.

For nine of the years in the period, the endowed funds earmarked for New Hampshire residents accounted for less than half of the total scholarships awarded to New

of those years they were less than a third of the total, she wrote.

The awarding of scholarships to New Hampshire residents is “greatly in excess of the distribution from endowment funds earmarked for this purpose,” Lawrence wrote.

“Dartmouth has certainly done an immense good for New Hampshire as a whole and for students from New Hampshire,” Daniell said.

The Second College Grant has more often cost the College money than raised funds, Daniell said. Even income from forestry and rented cabins cannot support massive volumes of scholarship funding individually.

Cushing claimed that DartPamela Peedin’s annual compensation — $1.074 million in 2014, according to the College’s tax

returns — exceeded the amount of scholarship funds awarded to New Hampshire residents in the same period.

Cushing also raised objections to the current uses of the Second College Grant. While no provision had ever stated that the grant must remain open to New Hampshire residents, Cushing said the fact that the state paid for roads and bridges in the grant implies that some public use of the grant could be valuable.

“It seemed like it was turning into a wilderness theme park solely for the enjoyment of the Dartmouth family,” he said. “A graduate of the Tuck School who is a hedge fund operator in New York City can have access to the grant and the wilderness experience, rent a cabin at below market rates, but somebody who lives in Berlin can’t go up and rent a cabin.”

Cushing attempted to rent a cabin in the grant and was told he with Dartmouth, he said.

Dartmouth general counsel Bob Donin declined to comment through manage the ongoing legal and legislative issues regarding the Second College Grant and the 1883 State Fund.

Watch and Learn, Republicans

Racism’s Raw Truth

Democratic presidential candidate and former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley summed up the differences between Republican and Democratic party rhetoric when he concluded the Oct. 13 debate, saying “on this stage, you didn’t hear anyone denigrate women, you didn’t hear anyone make racist comments about new immigrants, you didn’t hear anyone speak ill of anyone because of their religious belief.”

Indeed, while not as controversial or headline presidential debate thoroughly and elegantly addressed the issues of immigration reform, income and racial inequality, women’s rights, climate publican presidential debates, as Heather Digby Parton asserted in her Salon column “Trump’s America vs. Hillary’s America,” portrayed America as a “dystopian hellscape in which evil, violent foreigners are trying to kill us in our beds while rapacious jackbooted government thugs try White House come 2016, they should stop fearmongering and name calling, and instead offer a practical and substantiated policy agenda. candidates, particularly Donald Trump, is notorious for making false statements. In fact, Politifact has rated 74 percent of the statements by Donald Trump that they have reviewed as mostly false, Ben Carson’s statements reviewed by Politifact The lying, brashness, name-calling and lack of substance in Republican policies have alienated a great deal of Americans while mobilizing the worst fears of America in a demagogic manner.

Any attempt to call out the rudeness, arrogance and xenophobia in the GOP platform seems to be decried as “political correctness.” Republican attempts to disparage Hillary Clinton through the Benghazi investigation and her email scandal have damaged Clinton’s presidential bid. Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders captured much of

Presidential debate when he told Hillary Clinton that “the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails.” The GOP strategy has failed and must evolve for the party to have a chance at winning the presidency.

If the GOP can learn anything from the Democratic debate, it’s that they should stop blaming everyone else for America’s problems and focus on what policies can improve the country.

Candidates like Donald Trump and Ben Carson must stop making promises without substance and factually incorrect statements that many Americans mistakenly believe. Their continued use of these tactics only works to alienate women, immigrant, minority and youth voters — ultimately undermining the Republican cause. The GOP’s leading candidates must offer a policy agenda with substance and stop talking down to America.

Rather than viciously attack Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama, the Republican candidates should consider using their platforms to let Americans know what is working in America.

This is where the Democrats have a leg up — they are able to help voters understand which policies help to make America the most powerful and prosperous country on Earth, while also acknowledging those that harm the country. Parton expressed this divide between the GOP and the Democrats in her Salon column, when she wrote that Democratic leaders see America as a powerful country “struggling with a declining middle class and economic insecurity at the hands of the ultra-rich.” The party, she said, understands that a degree of government intervention is required climate change and manage global crises without going to war overseas.

If the GOP can restructure its message and way of communicating in the next year, it may be able to compete with the Democrats. The the party needs to create a sharper and more coherent and practical platform. Above all, they to start talking about their plans to move America to people’s fears.

I still remember the sinking feeling in my gut, promptly replaced by a simmering rage, when a pedestrian in the Pennsylvania suburbs — where my family had moved to from South Korea — hurled an ethnic slur at me. Then there was the time when my parents, unskilled in spoken English, remained shocked in silence as a homeowner launched a racist tirade against them for accidentally driving through his frontyard.

Throughout high school, whenever I volunteered at a community tutoring center for children, several children mocked me by slanting their eyes Even after entering college, racist behaviors have continued to bedevil me. Once at Logan Airport, I encountered a Dunkin’ Donuts employee who proceeded to address me as “Korea,” despite my explicit request to call me by my name.

While on my government foreign study program in London, I was accosted by a trio of British men lewdly commenting on my Asian features. I had never felt so genuinely endangered and humiliated in my life, and without my classmates’ help to leave the scene, I would have dissolved into tears.

These indignities, though relatively few and far between, have been just frequent enough to stay seared in my memory. In all cases, I can recall how my initial bewilderment would morph into fury and dismay, as I fully grasped the message after being caught off guard by a stray jeer. I almost

These children, however, expressed positive views about their own color group and unfavorable ones regarding the out-group when asked about their intelligence and niceness, among other traits. The scholars ascribe this result to children’s propensity to develop in-group preferences, primarily on the basis of highly visible attributes.

This propensity contrasts with other studies showing that many white parents take an abstract, colorblind approach to teaching their children about equality and rarely make direct mentions of race. Meanwhile, minority parents tend to discuss race and ethnicity more regularly with their children. Scholars contend that this colorblind philosophy enables white children in particular to form misguided opinions about other races and to think of themselves as fundamentally different from non-white peoples in habits and characteristics. Some research has also suggested the presence of “developmental windows” in which children’s perceptions of race are most malleable, pegging the maximum age around

also through ostensibly trivial interactions such as those described above.

Contrary to Rousseau’s assertion that a child’s mind resembles a blank slate without bias, recent research has concluded that even six-month-old infants can discern differences in skin color by demonstrating that they stare much longer at pictures of faces of a race different from their parents’. In another experiment, scholars distributed

After each episode of casual racism, I often wondered exactly how I should have responded to the perpetrators, especially if they were mere tykes like the kids who delighted in imitating my eyes. It was most astonishing when children, so innocent that they did not recognize my hurt, threw around racist epithets. Is it best to shout back crude, racist remarks of my own, to smile graciously to make them ashamed by my forgiveness or to argue cogently to refute the culprit’s views?

In hindsight, I realize that the most effective rejoinder to a racist comment depends on the situation. In London last fall, considering how drunk and potentially belligerent the men were, I would have been better off avoiding direct confrontation. In the cases of children and even some adults making seemingly harmless utterances, however, I now believe I should have conveyed in plain speech just how hurtful their actions were.

It is frustrating to explain how immoral and inaccurate racism is — a basic principle in any free and just society. But using racist attacks in revenge would only further degrade both parties. Turning the other cheek would pour salt in the wound and leave it to fester. Based on the research I have mentioned, I am nursing a careful hope that the next time I come face-to-face with a nonchalantly racist teenager, I will be able to

deliver any crushing comebacks.

Wealthy and educated Americans, removed from the grit of everyday discrimination, seem inclined to think racism no longer exists in the proverbial melting pot — a 2013 Gallup poll found that only 15 percent of non-Hispanic whites thought discrimination caused black Americans’ social disadvantages. The invocations of a “postracial” or “colorblind” American society overlook the sobering truth that racism persists, not only
