Cabot hosts Special Spirit

Cheers and claps followed almost every successful shot at Solomon Court on Friday afternoon.

A particularly impressive feat of ball-handling or blocking earned a similar response, as did the halftime events where students and players danced and shot 3-pointers.

This was the scene at Northeastern University’s (NU) inaugural Special Spirit basketball game between Lynn Team Blackout and Whitney Academy, two Massachusetts Special Olympics basketball teams.

“These athletes practice for months on end just like college athletes do, but they don’t have a lot of fans at their game” said Me-

lissa Jacques, a junior psychology major and one of the event organizers. “We wanted to give the athletes the chance to be treated like college basketball superstars.”

Northeastern is failing in teaching students about culture, senior English major Lyndon Nicholas said.

“There are many reasons why I’m happy to be graduating, but one of them shouldn’t be to escape institutionalized discrimination,” he said.

“I should not look at someone who has not been taught any cultural competence. We need to do better.

That is at the hands of the administration of Northeastern.”

Other students discussed a sense of false advertisement from the university in promoting diversity.

These activists included sopho-

more political science major Elijah Booker.

“I got to campus and I was like, ‘Man, who lied to me?’” he said.

“Do I matter to you, Northeastern, or do the numbers matter? We all feel this pressure, whether we are willing to speak out or not.”

The speak-out continued on social media with scores of posts on Twitter and Facebook tagged with #DoBetterNU. of demands for the university from Students Against Institutional Discrimination were handed out to passersby as well as people at the rally.

“Don’t use international students to brag about your diversity and then

provide little to no support to international students,” said Twitter user Jasmyn Glinton.

The list of demands was categorized into undergraduate admissions, undergraduate curriculum, faculty life, health services and access, campus climate, advising and support.

Sophomore political science major Henoss Tadesse said the importance of the rally is to enhance the university.

“We are blessed to be here, but we just need a little support,” he said. “Northeastern is better than other schools in this country, but that doesn’t mean we don’t hold it to the highest standard. We hope you do better, NU.”

BasketBall, From Page 1 games are meant to give Special Olympic players recognition by bringing their teams into high-energy college basketball environments.

Horowitz said the hope is that Special Olympics teams, normally relegated to the background, will have a chance to stand in the spotlight. This both gives the players increased recognition and brings more attention to Special Olympics programs as a whole.

“They practice the same amount as any other team,” he said. “It’s about letting them be the stars.”

The event was founded by Todd Borchers, a longtime coach of Special Olympics athletes.

Borchers said he has helped to organize these games at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell and the University of New Hampshire (UNH).

This time, Borchers came out to emcee at the game, but it was NU students who took the initiative to create the event. At the end of the game, Borchers recognized Jacques and Horowitz.

“If it wasn’t for these two, Special Spirit Northeastern would not be happening tonight,” he said.

Horowitz saw the Special Spirit event last spring at UNH and decided it could work well at NU. “It was such a good cause and it seemed like everyone was really enjoying themselves,” Horowitz said.

“It just kind of struck a chord with me.”

He reached out to Jacques, who is a member of NU’s chapter of Best Buddies International, an organization which helps form personal connections between volunteers and individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

NU’s Best Buddies program ended up playing a major role in organizing the event.

“We presented the idea to Best Buddies last fall and ended up forming our committee as a part of their organization on campus rather than going through the process of forming a new club,” he said.

Horowitz cited several other Northeastern organizations as key to the event’s success, including the Resident Student Association, the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and NU’s Interfraternity Council.

Several businesses also donated gift cards and other prizes to win largely through word of mouth. Volunteers ran tables and spoke to other clubs to try to bring out as many people as possible.

“It’s really been incredible how many different people and organizations have reached out to help,” Horowitz said.

The organizers hope that this will become a yearly tradition at Northeastern as it has at other schools.

migration crisis that European Union (EU) leaders say will overcrowd the 28-state territory. Still, he proposed in Wednesday’s keynote address for Northeastern University’s (NU) “Transcending Borders: Migration and Human Rights Week” that the reason for deadlock is not rooted in population but in racial discrimination by country leaders.

“Discrimination and hate crime is all about seeing our fellow human beings in singular identities,” Kjærum said. “The human rights approach recognizes that every person is a unique individual in their complexity in multiple identities.”

Kjærum’s talk was one of six events comprising the weeklong agenda, which ran April 7-14. The forum, co-hosted by the Northeastern University Law School (NUSL) aimed to “examine the global migration crisis from a human rights perspective” according to NUSL’s website. The lecture itself honors NUSL Class of 1993 alumna Valerie Gordon, who died in an accident.

“In the spirit of Valerie Gordon, Europe needs to have that new vision embracing all its citizens, wherever they live,” Kjærum said.

“That goes for the Syrian refugee, the child of the immigrant living in the suburbs of Paris, the poor working European.”

Kjærum, who launched his career at the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), said that the three major terror attacks in the EU over the past year – two in France and one in Belgium – have caused European political leaders to

cling to the concept of “the Christian state” for fear that opening country borders will invite Muslim jihadists.

“We have some very nasty, very xenophobic rhetoric from the Eastern and Central European states,” he much stronger group of right-wing extremists numbing a good group of otherwise constructive parties within the member states.”

Another reason for the stalemate, Kjærum said, is what he called a “new phenomenon” in immigration to Europe. Some audience members, including freshman law student Hannah Eash-Gates, disagreed on this point.

“I’ve been working in the immithought what he had to say was interesting, but I would argue that there’s a very long history of multiculturalism and immigration in Europe.”

To illustrate the discrimination problem, Kjærum interviewed members of 23,000 ethnic minorities in the EU in 2009. The survey, which will be recast in 2017, indicated that a quarter of respondents said they had experienced a hate crime within the past year.

“The union was created in 1952 and for all these years has created an area of peace and prosperity,” he said. “Can all of this just be done away with because of refugees seeking asylum in the territory?”

Freshman law student Ivanley Noisette, who was recognized as the annual Spirit of Valerie Gordon essay contest winner for his piece on pan-African and third world inmore global approach to patching up the crisis in Europe.

“When we look at the refugee crisis happening right now, there’s a disproportionate coverage of the impact on Europe as compared to what’s going on in the rest of the world,” he said. “And the ills of the world are not going to solve themselves.”

NU partners with social media app

By Anmolpreet Kandola news corresPondent

The Career Development Center at Northeastern University (NU) announced a partnership with a new app, Rep’nUp, which works to clean and monitor the social media accounts of students before they apply for jobs or co-ops. According to a March 28 Boston.com article, NU is one of 14 schools to join forces with the app.

Junior electrical and computer engineering combined major Naoki Yokoyama, who has previous co-op experience at medical robotics company Medtronic, said that maintainessential to appearing professional.

“To some extent, I think it is important to control what you make available for employers to see,” he said. “If an employer that isn’t even friends with you on Facebook can see inappropriate content, they can only imagine the kind of content you make available to those that do have more accessibility to the things you share.”

Rep’nUp, created in 2013, was co-founded by Eran Borenstein, a former Microsoft employee, and Lior Tal, a cybersecurity veteran who has founded other startups acquired by IBM and Intel SecurityMcAfee. According to its website, the goal of the app is to review all of a user’s posts, comments, likes, shares and visual content associated with the account.

The app’s algorithms scan social sexually explicit content, as well as content with alcoholic beverages. A written report detailing problematic content is sent to the user alongside strategies to hide or delete it. For users that pay to upgrade to the full version, Rep’nUp will also provide direct links to every piece of content that is believed to be harmful.

“I think using an app like this would be interesting,” Yokoyama said. “It would be nice to be able to

screen my online presence and remove anything that I may not want to keep available to employers or friends that can access that information.”

Despite the desire of some to keep personal lives outside of a professional context, surveys show that a growing component of job applicaAccording to Jobvite.com, over 93 percent of recruiters and employers tential employees. information systems combined major Manit Ghogar, who has worked on co-op for MasterCard, said he is aware of the potential damage a poor social media presence can have in the job market.

“Personally, I do not have much inappropriate content on my social ty conscious about that when I post things. However, it is important to easily be the deciding point between getting and not getting the job.”

Some students say that employers should not put as much weight on who to hire.

“While I think it’s important to tailor social media accounts to appropriate standards, I disagree with the amount of scrutiny that we are under for our private accounts and how they affect our job applications,” said freshman computer science major Alec Li. Ghogar said that students should still be conscious of what they like, share and say online, and that automatic apps like Rep’nUp can remove potentially harmful content or locate risky posts that users may have forgotten about.

“While I do not manually review inappropriate content before each interview, I would consider this app,” Ghogar said. “It seems relatively frictionless and will, in a way, do all my dirty work for me.”

Vol. IX No. 12

Column: Clinton betraying climate

In what has quickly become an infamous video, Hillary Clinton blasted a woman who had asked her about campaign donations from the fossil fuel industry. Clinton claimed these accusations were lies put forward by the Bernie Sanders campaign. Later, on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” she said “I feel sorry sometimes for the young people who, you know, believe this.

They don’t do their own research.”

The Clinton campaign has, apparently deliberately, ignored the fact that the woman who confronted Clinton, Eva Resnick-Day, is not a member of the Sanders campaign, but an activist with independent environmental organization Greenpeace. She was, in fact, extremely well-informed, with information that comes not from the Sanders campaign but from Greenpeace’s own research. Clinton surely knew this when she went on the show.

She didn’t change her line, however, because it’s more politically expedient to pretend these are baseless accusations created by the Sanders campaign itself. When Sanders makes accusations against Clinton for taking money from the fossil fuel industry, he is generally taking his statistics directly from this report. Unless Clinton believes Greenpeace is a fundamentally dishonest organization – a hard sell – then it’s hard to see how she thinks the Sanders campaign is “lying.”

Sean Connolly In the end, this squabbling over sources allows the Clinton campaign to do two things. It paints Sanders as disingenuous, which is important, since he consistently outranks Clinton as the more honest candidate. It also allows the Clinton campaign to ignore the heart of the issue. Clinton shouldn’t be taking money from any special interest lobbyists, whether or not they have ties to the fossil fuel industry. She ence her policy decisions. I believe her. That’s never been the issue. I don’t believe the money she is receiving will change her views; I believe that the fact that she thinks it is morally permissible to take this money in the It’s becoming an increasingly common sentiment that politicians shouldn’t take money from large-money donors. Monday’s Democracy Spring protests are a poignant example of this. It essentially serves as a way for the rich to pick and choose candidates – historically, candidates of winning an election. Many politicians use the insipid defense that “everyone does it,” as if they were teenagers explaining a pot habit to their the people. But her opponent isn’t doing it, so how exactly does Clinton defend her actions? How does she defend accepting millions of dollars from Wall Street? On CNN, a Clinton campaign representative defended her actions by saying that she is trying to “raise resources.” How, exactly, opponent who refuses money from the same interests?

The fact that she accepts these funds highlights a trend in her politics that I disagree with. If you’re willing to take money from an industry or special interest group, then you are inherently passing on credibility to that group. This is presumably part of the reason her campaign has pledged to not accept money from the private prison industry. If she had a similar moral opposition to other big-money interests, she would do the same with them. Lobbyists aren’t giving her money to try to change her mind; they’re giving her money because she’s already the candidate who better represents their interests. She’s already softer on Wall Street and slower to act on climate change. She accepts the money because she doesn’t have an inherent moral opposition to these industries. To her, these issues simply don’t take front and center; winning is more important.

News illustration by David London

Obama’s tarnished legacy Last Sunday, The Boston Globe editorial board offered a dystopian portrait of the United States with Donald J. Trump as president.

Highlighting quotes from Trump’s past speeches, the Globe’s mock headlines envisioned a future in which US army troops refuse orders to kill Islamic State group family members, protectionist trade policies threaten the world economy and a xenophobic wave of deportations sweeps the country.

The Globe’s satire seems intended to take a stand against Trump’s rise by showing undecided voters how a Trump presidency could negatively impact the country. The centerpiece in particular suggests an alarming situation: “Deportations to begin,” the headline blares.

“President Trump calls for tripling of ICE force; riots continue.”

While Trump’s stance on immigration absolutely deserves questioning and scrutiny, an executivemandated increase in deportations would be nothing new for this country: Under the Obama administration, the number of people ejected from this country through legal proceedings, collectively known as “removals,” has drastically increased. An average of 301,000 people per year were removed over President George Bush’s second term, according to data from the Department of Homeland Security.

In 2013 – the most recent year for which the statistics are available – the number jumped to more than 438,000. President Barack Obama should be criticized for the harm his policies have caused to families, parents and children across the country.

Obama’s supporters have pointed to other aspects of his immigration policy, saying the uptick in removals was necessary to buy the political capital for more positive immigration initiatives. These other priorities included Obama’s pushing the DREAM Act and issuing executive orders that temporarily ease deportation orders for

adults whose family members hold citizenship.

However, the supposed victories won in this tradeoff have been tepid at best. Neither the DREAM Act nor any other expansion of education opportunities for non-citizens ever passed Congress. This election cycle has eliminated virtually all national openness to compromise on immigration policies, if it even existed before. Executive deportation relief, known as DAPA, is facing a challenge in front of the Supreme Court from 23 states, led

by Texas, who claim the action overstepped the bounds of presidential authority. In the likely event the court deadlocks at 4-4, a lower court decision will strike down the measure.

Even if DAPA stands, the order contradicts its own stated intention. Averting the destruction of mixed-status families – which are typically composed of at least one non-citizen parent and one or more children who do have citizenship, though can refer to any family whose members have a mix of citizenship statuses – is common sense and common decency. But shifting resources to “criminal deportations” is a false and misleading distinction.

Politicians, Immigration and cials and scores of Americans are quick to paint any undocumented immigrant who goes through legal proceedings as dangerous, violent menaces. This is far from the case.

The category of “criminal deportations” includes people pulled over for DUIs, drug use, disturbing the peace, public nuisance violations and all manner of low-level misdemeanors that pose no threat to this country or its citizens. Particularly insidious are federal-local partnerships like Secure Communities, a program which tracks the immigration status of people booked in county jails across the country and cages anyone without citizenship in ICE detention centers. Under

Dear President Aoun,

fact, it was violations at a Nike factory in Mexico that led colleges and universities to take action to ensure

escalated raids targeting scores of non-citizen adults who are detained for any reason, many of whom are longtime, employed residents with families arrested for minor offenses. In the past, the program swept up domestic violence victims, people with outstanding speeding tickets and at least one US citizen, according to a 2015 Frontline report.

The impact of such draconian and predatory policies extends far beyond the people ripped from their homes and held in detention centers with little due process and no guaranteed legal help. According to 2011 study, more than 5,000 children in 22 states were in foster care as a direct result of their parents’ deportation; the same study predicted more than 15,000 children would be in the same situation by this year. Thousands more children have their childhoods thrown into turmoil. Many face the equally damaging prospects of being deported along with their parents or remaining in the US with little prospect of ever seeing a deported parent again.

The Obama administration has said its executive actions will dispatch with Secure Communities.

While technically true, this is a specious claim: Data including immigration status and biometric scans will still be collected on people who encounter local law enforcement.

The only real change is in how federal agencies will use the data, which they claim they will restrict to pursuing high-level offenders.

Some cities, including Cambridge, have proclaimed themselves sanctuary cities and refused to participate in the program or aggressively enforce immigration law. Such cities should be applauded. However, real change must come at the national level. In his last year in ofoffer relief – in spirit, not just name – and humanity to this country’s non-citizens and their American children.

Letter: Halt use of sweatshops

We, the Progressive Student Alliance and members of the United Students Against Sweatshops, are writing to alert you that Nike, which manufactures Northeastern University apparel, is barring Workers Rights Consortium (WRC) inspectors from accessing its factories.

The WRC – of which Northeastern is a member – is an independent labor rights monitoring organization that conducts investigations of working conditions in factories around the globe. Nike is the industry leader, and we fear that if Nike is allowed to bar independent inspectors, other companies will follow suit. This sets a dangerous precedent and risks the rapid deterioration of the WRC as an effective voice for factory safety.

Nike has demonstrated itself unable or unwilling to self-police. In

place. With the WRC barred from Nike factories, there is no way of knowing if Northeastern’s Nike apparel is being made under sweatshop conditions.

The Northeastern University licensing policy guarantees “that all products bearing Northeastern’s name are manufactured by socially and ethically responsible vendors that comply with fair labor staners Rights Consortium.” In order to uphold these standards, Northeastern University calls for “careful monitoring of products carrying our marks,” a responsibility the WRC has traditionally carried out.

It is clear that Nike’s recent actions violate many of the principles delineated in Northeastern Univer-

sity’s licensing policy.

In alignment with this policy and Northeastern’s core values, further steps must be taken against Nike.

You have said that Northeastern must be a “model for society.” In accordance with that vision, the Progressive Student Alliance is calling on Northeastern University to cut its contract with Nike. We are proud that Northeastern has stood on the side of garment workers in the past, most notably by cutting a contract with Adidas over its sweatshop conditions. We look forward to meeting soon to discuss the urgency and absolute necessity of cutting Northeastern’s contract with Nike.

Thousands walk to fundraise for sexual assault

By Will Angell-James news corresPondent A line of shirts hung in both bright and muted colors, red next to white next to gray. A sign explained that this was called the Clothesline Project, where people who were victims of sexual violence could tell their stories or open a dialogue on sexual assault and rape. One statistic on a shirt read that one in four women and one in seven men are victims of sexual violence over the course of their life.

The Clothesline Project was only one scene at the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center’s (BARCC) Walk For Change. Around 5,000 people gathered in Brighton’s Artesani Park on Sunday, April 10 to raise both awareness and money for BARCC. From the park, people traversed a 2.5-mile loop for the 10th anniversary of the walk.

Their motto: “There’s strength in numbers. Walk with us. Together we can end sexual violence.”

This mantra epitomizes the event’s goal – to help provide free support to victims, friends and families affected by sexual violence. BARCC offers free services for survivors and families.

BARCC executive director Gina Scaramella said that her organization offers hope to those in and around Massachusetts. As it is the second rape crisis center in the US, Scaramella said

Around 5,000 people gathered for the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center’s 10th annual Walk For Change.

Donors have raised a collective $155,000 so far. she is proud of BARCC’s work.

“I think we’ve been a model proof its kind in Boston,” Scaramella said. “It’s a way that we can create a community around our mission, which is to end sexual violence.”

Founded in 1973, BARCC is the only rape crisis center in the Greater Boston Area and the oldest in Massachusetts. Events like Walk for Change raise funds to provide both survivors and families 24-hour hotline, 24-hour medical advocacy and

individual and group counseling, vocacy. The organization receives around 5,000 calls per year, all of which are fueled by fundraising campaigns like Walk For Change.

In kicking off April’s Sexual Assault Awareness Month, BARCC raised more money than organizers expected. The running total is $155,000, with money still coming in. Scaramella said that by raising money, people are giving more than a donation.

“It’s a chance for people to think about how they can contribute,” Scaramella said.

Beth Molnar, an associate health sciences professor at Northeastern University, has been involved with BARCC for almost 20 years. She said volunteers are essential to make “They are really important,” she said. “I work as hard as I can to get friends and family to come and support our cause.”

BARCC consists of 27 full-

time staff members and 120 to 140 volunteer workers. Molnar said BARCC can educate communities like Northeastern about rape prevention and coping.

“It is important to be a better bystander […] as well as recognizing consent,” Molnar said.

“Every campus can do more.”

Walk attendee and Northeastern graduate Kara Blue has dedicated much of her time to rape prevention services. She now works for Transition House, an organization that aims to stop domestic violence.

“When I go to their [BARCC’s] larger events […] I look around at all of the attendees and feel like we are making small changes and taking steps forward in combating all issues encompassed within sexual assault,” Blue said.

While many from the Northeastern community were there, the walk was made up of concerned Bostonians who wanted to stand united against sexual assault.

“It was a really large event, and it helps bring the people of Boston together,” said veteran Walk For Change participant, Evelyn Milford.

Through BARCC’s services, Blue hopes the rape crisis center will eventually end incidences of sexual assault.

“I feel that BARCC is a beacon of hope for survivors and allies alike; the hope that one

Hotel tax to be extended to short-term rentals

By Sam Haas, Rowan Walrath & Liam Hofmeister city editors

Some Massachusetts lawmakers are backing a bill to extend the state’s hotel tax to shortterm rentals, including vacation homes and rooms rented through companies like Airbnb.

Airbnb has fallen under scrutiny over the past several months. In San Francisco, where the company is based, a ballot measure known tween short-term renters and hotel unions in fall of 2015. The proposition sought to impose a stricter limit on the number of nights land-

lords could rent spaces through services like Airbnb, changing it from 90 days annually if the renter isn’t present – and unlimited days if they are – to 75 days regardless.

Airbnb spent more than $8 milwas ultimately rejected by voters.

However, in Massachusetts, Airbnb supports the regulation bill, believing it will add legitimacy to the company.

“We are eager to work with policymakers to help our community in Massachusetts collect and remit hotel taxes to the state – just as we have done in Alabama, Florida, Illinois, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington and nearly two dozen US cities and counties,” Airbnb wrote in

a letter it planned to send to lawmakers this week, according to an April 4 Boston Globe article.

“This bill would simplify the complicated tax structure that our hosts face and help ensure the state and the localities receive their fair share of tax revenue,” the letter added. “The Commonwealth has the opportunity to generate millions of dollars in new tax revenue from these transient accommodations.”

Madeline DiLullo, a sophomore international business major, and her family rented out a house in Carmel, Calif. using Airbnb for several months.

“Since we had an empty house, we weren’t going to live in it, and we’d only use it in the summers,” DiLullo said. “[With Airbnb,] we

Airbnb offers a form of insurance, but according to DiLullo, actually obtaining the insurance is a complicated process.

“It takes forever to get the insurance,” DiLullo said. “You

get back to you within three weeks, but it takes a really long time to actually get the money.”

As time went on, problems grew.

“One of our barstools got broken, which I was really amazed by be-

cause it’s a hefty piece of wood,” DiLullo said. “It wasn’t really a fair tradeoff, because people would break things. [...] We found that the guests through Airbnb were more rowdy than anywhere else.”

Eventually, DiLullo and her family decided that renting through Airbnb was not worth the cost and ended up going with a management service instead.

Salvatore LaMattina, 10-year Boston City Council member for the North End, East Boston and Charlestown, is one of the

policymakers backing the bill.

“I’m supporting it because Airbnb needs to be regulated,” LaMattina said. “I have concerns about investors coming into neighborhoods like East Boston, buying our properties and renting our units through Airbnb because they can make more money renting it daily. I have seen that happening in the North End. I have seen that happen in East Boston. If you live in the apartment, have an extra room and want to do tor coming into my neighborhood,

then I’ve got some concerns.”

LaMattina isn’t the only person with this concern. According to an Oct. 19, 2015 article from The American Prospect, Airbnb’s system allows landlords to rent out a space for short stays at high prices, which is more lucrative than having long-term tenants live in the space, incurring upkeep for the landlord.

The Prospect cites a number of examples of this. According to the article, San Francisco City Attoragainst two property owners, ac-

cusing them of evicting longtime tenants, two of them disabled, so the owners could illegally convert the residential buildings into pricey tourist hotels using Airbnb, VRBO and other short-term rental services.

DiLullo agrees with LaMattina: Airbnb should be regulated.

“I think that within the sharing economy products – although they’re different formatting and target a different demographic 76251 – they should fall under the same regulations,” DiLullo said. “They shouldn’t have special treatment.”

A&E Musical satirizes Boston transportation service

H u n t n e w s n u. c o m

tHe t, From Page 1 tion Authority’s (MBTA) longtime problems, such as its frequent delays and more recent issues, like the end of late-night train service and the incident when a Red Line train left the station without an operator on board.

The show portrays Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) workers as evil minions of the general manager of the month, a supervillain whose mission is to ruin people’s lives via the T’s subpar transit service.

“I think anyone that has had to deal with the MBTA in Boston will relate to most of the show if not all of it,” Sarah Pelrin, ImprovBoston house manager, said. “We have a lot of fantastic shows, but I think ‘T’ can appeal to a broader crowd.”

Pelrin said that the musical is different from other ImprovBoston shows because the majority of productions require fewer props and less preparation.

“It did so well here, and it’s such a funny show that we were happy to have it back,” Pelrin said.

Boston and then had a second run at American Repertory Theater’s OBERON stage. According to the musical’s writer, Mike Manship, the show was brought back because transit problems caused by last year’s winter made the show once again relevant.

“Last winter was such a disaster for the T. People couldn’t drive.

People couldn’t take the T with all the snow,” Manship said. “I think [bringing back the show] was a little bit of a prophetic move.”

ice, in the current run of “T” played duction and was an ensemble memAlthough Laverdiere said that acting in “T” was a fun and rewarding experience, she complained about the irony of having to ride the T to work.

“There was a train [that I was on] that was taken out of service because it was smoking,” Laverdiere said.

She said that while the show centers around Boston’s T, she believes that the story is truly about the people who run and use the transit system. She also said that her frustration with the system motivates her performance.

“It’s amazing what bonding over a bad transit experience can do for your personal growth and growth of friendships,” she said.

Audience member Steve Lunt of Somerville said that he particularly liked how the musical depicted the range of excuses that the MBTA has for out-of-service trains, including haps.

“I thought it was hilarious,” Lunt said. “I ride the T everyday so I thought they did a really good job of having a good time with it.”

Lisa Purdy from Cambridge said that she liked how the show united local residents through a common experience.

“I think it pulls on a lot of cultural references that people in Boston love to have comradery about,” Purdy said. “Just the catharsis and exclamation of the anger is pretty relatable.”

Manship said that last week, an MBTA board member came to see the show and meet the cast. Accord-

ing to Manship, she had a good time.

“The show makes fun of the T but then also, at the end, it makes fun of us,” he said. “It has some playful stuff to say and some legitimate critiques that [the MBTA] has heard over and over so it can’t be news to them.”

Manship also said that, despite the fact that his musical portrays MBTA

employees lurking and cackling across the stage, he believes that the actual T workers are doing the best that they can.

“I do think there are a lot of smart, well-meaning people involved with the MBTA,” Manship said. “I think it’s kind of a mystery to everybody. [...] Why can’t the T do what other public transit systems do?”

Manship said he would love for “T” to continue running at ImprovBoston in the future.

“I think the perfect lampoon idea would be if we added a bunch of shows and canceled them in the spirit of the T,” he said.

“T: An MBTA Musical” will be running at ImprovBoston until May

The songs for the concert were chosen by music professor Joshua Jacobson, who is also the director for the Choral Society.

“I have to say the whole concert was a tremendous high for me,” Jacobson said.

The last performance before intermission was a progressive rock song entitled “White Rabbit” by Grace Slick. Wear-

psychedelic song, junior theater major Monica Cole sang lead vocals while members of the Northeastern Rock Ensemble provided rhythm and the chorus sang backing vocals. “[White Rabbit] gave me chills,” Ben Deurso, a thirdyear anthropology major, said.

“It was a very authentic performance. They always go for something epic.”

After a short intermission, the music resumed with a full-length rendition of “Carmina Burana” accompanied by two pianists and seven percussionists in lieu of a full orchestra. “[Carmina Burana] wasn’t a piece of music that you listened to; it was a piece of music that you felt,” Andrew Robbertz, who came to see his brother Matt Robbertz, said.

Students performed solos from the famous cantata alongside Ron Williams, a professional baritone, while Northeastern music professors Won-Hee An and Edwin Swanborn provided the piano accompaniment.

The translated lyrics of the piece were projected onto a screen above the performers, so the audience could understand the music.

“It sounds really academic and formal and what you’d expect from choral music, but really it’s women, wine, drinking and song,” Rebecca Cerasoli, a chorus member and third-year criminal justice major, said.

“Seeing work that ranges from textured paint to plexiglass to fully rounded sculpture opens ideas of how art can interact with the space of the viewer,” Meyers said.

Meyers’ artwork used a framing of three-dimensional somber black and dark grays, through which the visitors see a combination of body parts and nature.

Group raises funds for the LGBTQA+ prison population

By Oliver Price news staFF

Indoor cheering accompanied by thumping bass could be heard out on the streets. Huddled toBTQA+ and allied community members gathered to celebrate poetry and music and to raise money for LGBTQA+ prisoners.

The event, held at Central Square venue Danger!Awesome Black and Pink, a group of volunteers who raise funds to support the LGBTQA+ prison population.

“It is our job to support those on the inside,” Charles Jefferson, volunteer for Black and Pink, said. “[Prisons] need to be ripped down brick by brick.”

The main act of the night was internationally-recognized nonbinary South Asian trans poetry duo Darkmatter. Based in New York and comprised of Alok Vaid-Menon and Janani Balasubramanian, the duo voiced their opinions on a variety of topics ranging from feminism to race and manhood through spoken word performances.

“She tells me I am a disgrace to my family,” Balasubramanian said about their grandmother.

“My white friends tell me my family is too traditional.”

Balasubramanian spoke on the status of white people within society.

“I want you to tell me more about your gap year,” they said.

Vaid-Menon criticized feminist self-centeredness.

“You don’t care about LGBT rights,” they said. “You care about yourself.”

Two freshman Wellesley College students, Rebecca Leu from Taiwan and Linda Liu from Beijing, performed a poem that dealt with the juxtaposition of cultures, professing a struggle of reconciling with cultural identities. Other guest artists included Bostonbased musicians Yamamba, Haro Caz and Evan Greer.

Vaid-Menon transitioned into the topic of manhood, speaking about their father.

“When you call him a father, you cease to call him a person but a punchline of everything you hate,” they said.

Trying to lighten the mood, Vaid-Menon joked about Justin Bieber.

“I really want to create a nonthey said, earning a screams of laughter from the audience.

Amid the supportive community and excited cheers, the message of the night remained clear.
