DTD brothers navigate probation amid ongoing criminal investigation

Sofie Hecht / The Tufts Daily

The house of Tufts fraternity Delta Tau Delta has been vacant since the May 31 stabbing.

by Reena Karasin News Editor

Early on the morning of May 31, the university’s emergency alert system notified the community about a stabbing in the fraternity house of Delta Tau Delta (DTD). Since then, the house has been vacant, and information about the incident and its investigation has been scant. According to DTD president Nolan Karpinski, members of the fraternity are as confused about the crime that took place there as the rest of the Tufts community.

On the day of the attack, police identified a Tufts student as a person of interest in the stabbing investigation. According to Somerville Police Department’s Deputy Chief Paul Trant, who declined the Daily’s request for an official interview, the department’s criminal investigation of the incident is still ongoing.

“This incident…is an ongoing investigation,” he told the Daily in an email.

“I have no further comment beyond that.”

Deputy Chief Mark Keith of the Tufts University Police Department (TUPD) declined to provide a general definition for the term “person of interest,” and referred the Daily to the Somerville Police Department.

According to a 2006 American Journalism review article, “person of inter-

“There’s a lodging license that we need to have more than four non-related people living in a house…

[The Mayor of Somerville]…didn’t grant the permit, for whatever reason.” est” is a vague term that can have a number of meanings.

“A ‘person of interest’ hasn’t been charged, much less convicted, of a crime,” the article wrote. “But the term clearly casts suspicion … No one has ever clearly defined it -– not police, not prosecutors, not journalists.”

The article explained that “‘person of interest’ often is a euphemism for ‘suspect,'” but said this is not always the case and that police would have to specify their use of the term on a caseby-case basis.

The Daily filed a Freedom of Information Act request to obtain any arrest records related to the case, but Trant said the department has no arrest records from the DTD stabbing to provide.

According to Executive Director of Public Relations Kim Thurler, the investigation is currently being conducted by the Somerville Police Department with assistance from TUPD. On the day of the attack, two men who were unaffiliated with Tufts, aged 19 and 20, were transported to Massachusetts General Hospital for stab wounds in the neck, the latter of whom was listed as being in critical condition, according to a May 31 Boston Globe article. The attack, which occurred just before 4 a.m. on that Sunday morning, placed the Tufts campus on shelter-in-place advisory from shortly before 5 a.m. to around 8 a.m.

Six DTD brothers were living in the house at the time, but only three of the brothers were inside the house during the stabbing, according to the article.

Two victims among guests of DTD brother Multiple sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid being associated with the incident and the investigation, have identified one DTD brother who was in the house during the stabbing as the person of interest, who also agreed to speak with the Daily anonymously. He said that on the day of the attack, there were five or six guests in the house, one of whom he had invited into the house and two of whom were the victims. The brother added that he did not know many of them.

“I invited one … [The rest were] tagalongs,” he explained. “I don’t, unfortunately, know much about any of those people.”

According to the brother, when the stabbings took place, he was unconscious

DTD placed on disciplinary and social probation DTD

continued from page 1 in his room. The other two DTD brothers were also upstairs in their respective rooms in the fraternity house, he said.

“It happened on the first floor,” he said.

“Everyone went down to the first floor and came to find the people injured.”

The brother stressed that there was not a party in the house that night.

“All the lights were on,” he said. “We had hamburgers and hot dogs out, we were eating dinner and watching hockey.”

He said it was very likely that the guests in the house were intoxicated but that he could not be certain.

“I don’t even know where everyone came from,” he said.

The brother added that the victims have stated that they don’t remember what happened that night, contributing to the uncertainty of the investigation.

DTD President Nolan Karpinski confirmed that multiple non-DTD members were in the house that night, violating a university policy that prohibits fraternities from hosting guests in the summer.

“At the time of the incident, our agreement with Tufts University…was that there wouldn’t be non-brothers in the house,” he said. “That was a violation of our agreement.”

“At the time of the incident, our agreement with Tufts University…was that there wouldn’t be non-brothers in the house,” he said.

“That was a violation of our agreement.”

Karpinski said the assault would not have occurred if there had been more supervision, but at the time of the incident only three of the six brothers who were planning to live in the house during the summer were there.

“In the middle of the summer… surveillance is just not there,” he said.

“During the school year that would never happen.”

Karpinski said he could not confirm that the person of interest was identified as such, and is unclear about the person of interest’s level of involvement in the assault.

“We don’t really know what his involvement was,” he said. “As a brother, I would assume that he had no part in the wrongdoing, and so I’m going to continue to assume that going forward with my relationship with him.”

Karpinski spoke highly of the brother in question and said that he has returned to Tufts for the current semester.

“He was in my pledge class, lovely kid, definitely one of my friends in the fraternity … He’s been put through a lot this summer, for whatever reason.”

According to a different anonymous source, the person of interest may no longer be identified as such in the investigation, but the person of interest himself did not confirm or refute this.

The identified person of interest said his brothers have been very supportive since the incident, and his hope is that the entire fraternity can move forward and heal.

According to Keith, the perpetrator of the stabbing will likely receive a prison sentence once they are identified, but the length of the sentence will depend on which charges will be levied against them.

Since the investigation is still ongoing, no perpetrator has been identified.

Mayor of Somerville prevents brothers from living in DTD house

Karpinski said that in DTD’s original agreement with the university, the brothers were still to retain use of their house for the fall semester.

“We reached an agreement with Tufts University that we would be on social probation and … [disciplinary probation] … and that was going to be our punishment for the events that happened, and we were going to be allowed to live in the house under those sanctions,” he explained.

However, the 27 brothers who were planning to live in the DTD house were notified by email on Aug. 6 that they would need to find new housing for the semester.

“There’s a lodging license that we need to have more than four non-related people living in a house,” Karpinski explained. “Houston Hall needs it, South Hall needs it, Delta Tau Delta needs it.

And usually it’s as simple as a stamp, and nothing’s thought of it, but in this case, it’s a discretionary permit and…[the Mayor of Somerville]…didn’t grant the permit, for whatever reason.”

Mayor of Somerville Joseph Curtatone has not responded to the Daily’s request for comment.

Karpinski confirmed that all displaced brothers were able to find housing and that no one is currently living in the DTD house.

It is unclear at this time whether DTD will face additional obstacles to recovering its house. According to the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life website, DTD is one of five fraternity and sorority houses on campus that are “independently owned and operated by independent house corporations.”

Although the house is privately owned, there are still situations in which the fraternity could lose its house, according to Thurler.

“Theoretically, a house could be closed by the house’s corporation and/or its national chapter in coordination with or independently from the university,” she told the Daily in an email. “It is premature to speculate on this situation.”

Karpinski said he and the brothers of DTD are unaware of the circumstances surrounding the crime.

“We really don’t know, and trust me, it’s been very frustrating throughout the last three or four months because of how little we know,” Karpinski said. “We got kicked out of our house for something that we still don’t know what happened, and the police investigation has been ongoing for three months now … It’s as frustrating to us as it is to anyone else that we don’t know what’s going on.”

According to Thurler, although the Tufts DTD chapter is on probation, it is still recognized as a fraternity.

“The university and the fraternity’s governing board are awaiting the results

of the police investigation before making any ultimate decisions about discipline,” she told the Daily in an email.

According to documents provided by Karpinski, the DTD chapter has been on disciplinary probation since Aug. 8, which will last until May 22, as well as social probation until February.

“The chapter will be placed on social probation until at least Feb. 1, 2016,” the document said. “At the start of the spring semester 2016, social probation status will be re-evaluated and lifted at the discretion of the Dean of Student Affairs and the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life.”

Thurler explained that disciplinary probation is a period of time during which “an organization is not in good standing with the university.”

“Violations of the terms of disciplinary probation may result in the revocation of the organization’s recognition and in the immediate closure of the chapter house,” she wrote. “During social probation, chapters are not permitted to coordinate and/or hold social events with alcohol, whether in the chapter house, brothers’ homes or third party venues.”

Another DTD source, who also spoke to the Daily on the condition of anonymity, expressed frustration at the lengthy, ongoing police investigation.

“The police have taken an extremely long time … No one was arrested … They still haven’t processed the work in the lab,” the source said.

DTD sees successful fall rush despite probation According to Karpinski, the DTD brotherhood has seen its attempts to turn over a new leaf realized in its fall rush, which took place last week.

“It was incredible,” Karpinski said. “I was blown away and just heartened … [by] the commitment to DTD and the commitment to the brotherhood that our brothers displayed over the last two weeks … In fact, we had more interest this fall [than in previous years], for whatever reason … I really, really believe that people see the events as a singular and unrelated piece of who we are.”

Karpinski added that he has found surprising upsides to losing use of the house.

“It is unfortunate that we don’t have a house,” he said. “That is a significant piece of who we are as an organization, but I believe the impact that it’s going to have on our brotherhood is a positive one.”

He explained that before, it was easy to walk in and out of the house and loosely call 80 or 90 other brothers friends.

“The new investment that we now have to make in each other’s lives because we don’t have a house makes this a really exciting time to be a Delta on campus,” Karpinski said.

He emphasized that the brothers of DTD are focused on the future.

“As an organization we’ve done a remarkable job of putting this behind us as quickly as possible and moving forward,” Karpinski said. “This is not something we’re lamenting or digging up every time we talk to each other, it’s not a conversation that we feel like we need to have and we’re trying to move forward.”

Commemorating end of WWII, ‘Last Folio’ exhibits neglected part of Holocaust

Evan Sayles / The Tufts Daily

by Diane Alexander Contributing Writer

Past and present blend together in a display of lived history currently located in the downstairs Koppelman Family Gallery of the Aidekman Arts Center. The exhibit, “Last Folio,” is a collaborative effort by photographer Yuri Dojc and media producer and documentarian Katya Krausova. Using three types of media — photography, film and a published book — the project depicts Slovakian Holocaust survivors who returned to their country after the end of World War II, and explores a now-decayed abandoned Jewish school in eastern Slovakia.

Entering the exhibit through the main doors, visitors are immediately faced with 28 of Dojc’s black and white portraits of survivors. The exhibit flows into a circular space which features a shortened nine-minute version of Krausova’s documentary film following Dojc through Slovakia, as well as Dojc’s photographs of books and other objects from the abandoned Jewish school in Bardejov, Slovakia.

Dojc emphasized the project’s unusual nature.

“This whole project is based on serendipities — this was not planned,” he said. “None of the stages were ever planned. Every stage happened by pure chance. It’s important because some people plan this kind of project, but we somehow discovered it.”

Krausova agreed, describing how she discovered the abandoned school.

“We knew where [the survivors] were, and we knew where the cemeteries were — it was a question of going there,” Krausova said at the Art Gallery’s opening reception on Thursday, Sept. 17. “Our unique moment came when, by total serendipity, we found the abandoned school.”

According to the book that accompanies the exhibit, also titled “Last Folio” (2015), the Bardejov school had been abandoned since 1942, when all those who attended were deported to concentration camps, primarily Auschwitz.

A neighbor of one of Dojc and Krausova’s interviewees first led the pair to the Bardejov school in 2006. They found the interior untouched: books and notebooks with corrections on desks and shelves, reports, birth certificates, accounting ledgers and even sugar in the kitchen cupboard. They describe these objects as “the final witnesses to a once thriving culture,” according to the Art Gallery website.

The book is mostly composed of Dojc’s photographs.

Krausova, who wrote the book’s text in German and English, describes the volumes they found there: “The disintegrating tomes, the beautiful, decaying spines, all

the crumbling pages are mesmerizing.” Dojc’s color photographs of these books, preserved in the same place since the school’s abandonment, take center stage.

It was also serendipity that brought Dojc and Krausova to the Tufts Art Gallery. Before making its way to Aidekman, the exhibit was featured at the United Nations in New York City and the National Library of Germany in Berlin, according to Last Folio’s website.

Krausova explained that she had known Jonathan Wilson, the director of the Center for the Humanities at Tufts (CHAT), from their time at Oxford. After seeing her work with Dojc, Wilson reached out to her about coming to Tufts.

According to Gallery Educator and Academic Programs Coordinator Liz Canter, CHAT worked with the gallery, reaching out to Director of Galleries and Collections Amy Schlegel to bring Dojc and Krausova to Tufts.

The exhibition has been traveling internationally throughout 2015 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, Dojc said. According to the Tufts Art Gallery’s website calendar, the artists will be completing a residency at CHAT from Oct. 5 to Oct. 9. During this time, the pair will take part in a number of events, including a showing of their documentary on Oct. 6.

According to Canter, the exhibition of “Last Folio” is just one manifestation of the Tufts Art Gallery’s emphasis on global citizenship.

“We’re always trying to show great contemporary work, and we are always trying to think of Tufts’ mission in terms of promoting social justice and raising awareness about global issues — all of those goals of Tufts as a whole,” Canter said.

According to English lecturer Nan Levinson, Canter has been working with other faculty and staff to spread the word about the exhibit, and there has been a strong response. Last semester, Canter ran several guided conversations with Tufts faculty that seem to have had a lasting impact. “[The conversations] were for faculty to think about how their courses intersect with the gallery,” Levinson said, who participated in these conversations and has brought classes to the Tufts Art Gallery in past semesters.

Levinson said that she plans on incorporating “Last Folio” into her classwork for the semester.

Drew Zeiba, a senior and visitor services ambassador at the Tufts Art Gallery, also emphasized the educational value of the gallery’s ongoing efforts.

“I think the gallery’s mission is not only to inform, but to educate,” Zeiba said. “By bringing people here and allowing them to move through [the exhibit], we can take it out of the historical moment and move it to the present.”

Deconstructing Symbols of War

never thought much about war memorials. They’re pretty ubiquitous in the United States, and most of the time they claim to express a politically neutral message in honor of American soldiers who lost their lives during the war in question.

Then my friend expressed distaste for the Tufts Memorial Steps, which honor Tufts alumni who served in the armed forces from the Civil War to Vietnam. I started to wonder what these seemingly innocuous memorials really represent, and what — and who — they ignore.

Take Vietnam, for example. Seventy-six percent of the Americans who served in Vietnam came from lower-middle or working class backgrounds, and enlisted blacks suffered disproportionately higher casualty rates. In addition to the eight million tons of bombs the United States dropped on Vietnam, American forces used approximately 20 million gallons of herbicides to reduce jungle foliage in Vietnam, causing serious ecological damage throughout the country and still afflicting children growing up in Vietnam today with various diseases and disabilities.

The casualties go beyond innocent civilians and ecological disasters in Vietnam. Between 1964 and 1973, the United States dropped more than two million tons of ordnance on Laos, a country that arguably posed no threat to the United States, as part of a secret proxy war. As a result, Laos is the most heavily bombed country per capita in history, and because up to a third of these bombs did not explode initially, they continue to injure and kill civilians.

There are over 100 casualties from latent bombs in Laos each year.

War memorials also ignore the gendered violence in which war often plays out; they discount not only the women who became breadwinners for their families while their husbands fought or died, but also the primarily female rape and abuse victims who suffer during too many conflicts.

Though there are some pacifist war memorials that commemorate civilian casualties or the injustices of war, war memorials in the United States rarely reflect the sobering, unjust statistics behind the conflicts to which they allude, whether they are commemorating soldiers who fought in Vietnam or in Iraq. On the contrary, they promote the military-industrial complex, nationalism, colonialism, neocolonialism and patriarchy.

Having grown up privileged in the United States in an ostensibly “liberal” family, I never felt displeased or uncomfortable by the existence of war memorials until looking into the issue more closely. My stepbrother and both my grandparents served in the armed forces, and perhaps it was initially difficult for me to denounce something in which people I know and care about participated.

And yet, we as a nation and as a global society let the military and anything done in the name of defense and security off the hook when it comes to issues of environmental and social justice. For this reason, the environmental damage and civilian casualties caused by the military — particularly powerful militaries like the American one — are not seriously scrutinized.

For example, a study conducted by students and faculty from Complutense University of Madrid, Indian River State College, Sonoma State University and St. Cloud State University, published in “Project Censored,” found that the U.S. military “is responsible for the most egregious and widespread pollution of the planet, yet this information and accompanying documentation goes almost entirely unreported.”

While the obvious problem is not the war memorials but the wars themselves, my friend’s point rings true: these memorials represent for more privileged Americans innocuous commemorations of American soldiers, but their meaning ignores the experiences of colonized peoples, of blacks, Hispanics and people of color, of low-income Americans and of women. Therefore I hope this column does for you what my friend did for me —reconsider and criticize the symbols we have been taught to accept, even those as seemingly harmless as war memorials.

ALBUM REVIEW

New Order’s ‘Music Complete’ is respectable addition to illustrious catalog

by Ascher Kulich

Assistant Arts Editor

English outfit New Order is a legend in the synth-rock genre; it successfully combined post-punk and synthesized dance music to create one of the more iconic sounds in rock history in the ’80s. The group was formed from the remaining members of Joy Division after the group’s lead-singer Ian Curtis’ suicide in 1980. It was well publicized that Curtis suffered from depression and epilepsy.

New Order’s “Blue Monday” (1983) is arguably the most important rock song of the ’80s: It remains, to this day, the biggest-selling 12-inch single of all time, and its influence on ’90s and more recent post-rock is immeasurable. Escaping the shadow of Joy Division, which had more of a heavy, punk-rock sound, was challenging at first, but the music landscape of the early ’80s — especially the growing club scene in New York City — influenced New Order to incorporate dance music into its sound.

Released on Sept. 25, “Music Complete” is the group’s 10th studio album, and its first without long-serving bassist Peter Hook. Three of New Order’s original four members — Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert — are featured on “Music Complete,” as well as newer members Phil Cunningham and Tom Chapman, who makes his first appear-

EXIT FESTIVAL VIA FLICKR CREATIVE COMMONS

On new album “Music Complete,”New Order's sound continues to evolve. ance on a New Order full-length project with this album.

In an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine published on Sept. 23, Morris — who plays percussion and keyboard on “Music Complete” — explained the reasoning behind the album’s name.

“We weren’t thinking people would think, ‘It’s your last record, isn’t it?’” Morris said.

“We didn’t think it meant that. It also doesn’t mean, ‘Oh, bloody New Order has got a new compilation.’ We just thought it fits, because it’s like a few different styles of music.”

Sumner — on vocals and guitar — added his own explanation of the title.

“I think the title was the last thing we did,” Sumner said in the same interview.

“We were completing the album, music complete. It just felt right.”

“Music Complete” is some of New Order’s most danceable material. Its sound is typical of New Order, but it also has a polished, modern feel to it. The album begins with the single “Restless,” which covers familiar territory as New Order sings about the band’s personal

struggles. “Restless” is more synth-pop than synth-rock and is New Order at its most accessible. “Plastic,” the second single and third track on “Music Complete,” is one of the group’s strongest songs in decades, combining vocals from guest Elly Jackson with tottering synthesizers and repeating guitar chords.

“Tutti Frutti,” dripping with ’80s-synthrock sounds, is a caricature of a pop-rock track, and its distorted vocals and groovy bass chords lend it a unique texture.

There are a few redundant tracks on “Music Complete” — some are repetitive and boring, others flowing with over-thetop chords and cliché vocals — but the majority of the album is a nice return to form for New Order. “Superheated” closes out “Music Complete” on a high point; it’s a more mature-sounding New Order, lacking the dark, jarring, angsty sound present in some of the band’s earlier work but bringing new, accessible music for old fans and newer listeners alike. Many tracks on “Music Complete” still have the ability to throttle skulls and pluck groovy riffs to make for a captivating ride.

New Order is, somewhat famously, still awaiting admission into Cleveland’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, thougwh that’s not stopping it from continuing to produce new music. “Music Complete” is another solid addition to New Order’s strong, influential catalog, and fans can only hope it won’t be its last.

ALBUM REVIEW

In ‘Honeymoon,’ Lana Del Rey revisits old themes, sound

by Sabrina Chishti Staff Writer

Lana Del Rey is one of those avant-garde noir singers who confuses her listeners as much as she entertains them. Bolstering her carefully constructed persona of old school Hollywood glamour with her smoky, ’60s-era vocals, Del Rey combines rich, dramatic sound with a compelling narrative of the American experience.

In her new album, “Honeymoon,” released Sept. 18, the singer returns to her roots in a way that fans of her first album, “Born to Die” (2012), and the follow-up edition, “Born to Die – The Paradise Edition” (2012), will enjoy. Her ethereal voice and the dark, provocative soundtrack urge the audience to contemplate and experience her sadness and disquiet.

Lana Del Rey — born Elizabeth Grant — is a persona as meticulously created as her music. Flayed by critics for developing such an overly artificial character for her entrance into the music industry, Del Rey has striven to incorporate the femme fatale motif into the lyrics of her past albums, and “Honeymoon” continues this trend. It’s important to remember when listening to her music that Lana Del Rey was created for the stage. The pouty ’60s jazz singer character is meant to emphasize the themes in Del Ray’s music, such as the way the American Dream often sours when one tries to chase it.

The focus of “Honeymoon” is romance and Del Rey’s relationship with her audience. Her slow and soft music makes frequent references to Del Rey’s past relationships but often hides a backbone of

steel within the lyrics. In “God Knows stood.” Perhaps Del Rey is expressing her choice to regress to her roots almost feels I Tried,” she croons, “I feel free when desire to develop as an artist and at the underwhelming for those expecting more I see no one / And nobody knows my same time not be lost against the back- pizzazz from the singer. name.” Del Ray references the loss of ano- drop of her own persona.

This idea shows up again in the last song of the record, “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood,” a cover of Nina Simone’s song. The track is a clear summary of the rest of the album; she sings, “But I’m just a soul whose intentions are good / Oh Lord, BEATRIZ ALVANI VIA FLICKR CREATIVE COMMONS please don’t let For critics who have dismissed Lana Del Rey for her musical style and carefully crafted persona, "Honeymoon" gives me be misunder- them more to complain about.

Golf

Tufts, led by Elliott, Corn, dominates at Newbury Invitational

by Ray Paul Biron

Assistant Sports Editor

Tufts finished in first place at the Newbury Invitational at Franklin Park in Boston this past Wednesday with a score of 287 — 10 points lower than Babson, whose team finished second. Junior Owen Elliott and sophomore Aaron Corn each shot 70, tying them for first place among all competitors. Each of the Jumbos’ five golfers finished in the top 20 and scored +7 as a team.

“This is our head coach’s first season,” Corn said. “It’s been an adjustment, but we’re trending in the right direction.

The leadership of senior co-captains Brendan Koh and Jay Wong has been crucial, as well as [Elliott’s play], and we have a real chance of cracking the top 10.”

The Jumbos did more than simply crack the top 10; they are now in position to make a run at a top four spot to qualify for the NESCAC championships in the spring — a feat the Jumbos have never achieved. For now the team members are enjoying their current victory and preparing for their chance to make history when they compete at the NESCAC qualifiers at Williams College on the weekend of Oct. 3.

“It was great to have all the fans come out and support us today,” Elliott said.

“It’s a city course, so you get odd bounces and end up in divots, and there is a lot of loud music and other activities going on in

the park, which makes it difficult. But I loved it — I grew up on courses like Franklin Park, so it was still a blast.”

“Usually I talk consistency, but yesterday was just awesome,” head coach George Pendergast said. “We were just scoring better than we ever have … It just all seemed to come together.”

Elliott and Corn led the way, but it was the tremendous skill of fellow teammates, such as sophomore Mike Lefkowitz who shot a 71, Wong who shot a 76 and sophomore Glenn VanWinkle who scored 78, that made the performance so dominant.

“To go to the playoffs you have to crack this past weekend. Elliott had the high think we’re pretty happy with our overall the top four, and we haven’t done that in a score for Tufts, shooting a 150 over both team score and, among NESCAC schools, long time, but I think our chances are good days, and tied for fourth individually. that put us in fifth.

Hockey

Tufts hires Pat Norton as new hockey coach

by Phillip Goldberg Sports Editor

After a 2013-2014 season in which it recorded a mere four wins, the Tufts hockey team resurged last season, ending the year on a high note with a victory over Trinity in the NESCAC quarterfinals and a close loss to Amherst in the semifinals. To ensure that their success continues, the Jumbos have brought in new head coach Pat Norton who boasts 20 years of coaching at the Div. I, Div. III and prep school levels, as well as a collegiate career at the University of New Hampshire. With decades of experience to draw from, Norton hopes to create a perennial powerhouse program.

The son of a hockey coach, Norton was exposed to the sport at an early age and fell in love with the game when his father’s former players took him under their wing, helping him develop as a player. Highlights of his coaching career include a tenure as an assistant coach at Div. III Norwich University — a team that won a national championship and earned two additional Frozen Four berths during Norton’s time there — and assistant coaching jobs at the Div. I level, at the University of Vermont from 2000 to 2003 and Northeastern University from 2003 to 2004. “[My long coaching career] allows me to bring patience,” Norton said. “I’ve learned that where we want to be may not happen overnight and that we’ve got to allow this group of players to build a

foundation. The second part of it is, I’ve got a lot of contacts and guys that I can go to and rely on as far as questions and experience — guys that I’ve learned from, that I think will help a lot of the different situations…I’m going to face over the course of the year.”

For the past 11 years Norton was head coach of the Tilton School in the New England Prep Schools Interscholastic Hockey Association (NEPSIHA) — the highest level of prep school hockey. Norton’s tenure as a coach in the NEPSIHA uniquely disposes him to recruit effectively for the Jumbos.

“There are probably about eight to 10 kids [from some of the schools that I am familiar with] that I don’t know would have been on Tufts’ radar [otherwise],” Norton said. “They are outstanding students [whom] I think are very, very good hockey players, and I’m planning on pursuing those kids and getting them involved in the process.”

Along with assistant coach Matt Keating, Norton is also currently scouting players at the North American Hockey League Showcase in Minnesota.

After winning its first ever NESCAC playoff game last season against first-seeded Trinity, the team faces sky-high expectations this year. Rather than feeling the pressure, Norton embraces these heightened goals for the season as a means of getting the players to buy into their own success.

“I think it shows what the players are capable of,” he said. “It’s now a question of putting that together with some consistency. I also think that one of the things that attracted me to the job…is [that there] are some very good players here. I didn’t

feel like the tank was on empty. I’d like us to be hard to play against every single night. I’d like us to play an up-tempo style [of ] hockey, but the most important thing is I want us to play and compete every single night and be disciplined. [I want] a competitive, disciplined hockey program every single night.”

Because the Jumbos are currently in their off-season, Norton has yet to watch them practice but is currently meeting and getting to know his players before the season starts.

Right now, what’s exciting Norton the most is getting to see the players take the ice on Nov. 1, the official beginning of the preseason. Preparation for games is almost a second thought for the new coach, who is even more enthusiastic about the first practice.

Norton hopes to build off of last year and compete for the NESCAC championship, but he emphasizes the importance of doing it the “right way.”

“First of all, I want us to carry ourselves with a lot of class, and I want us to be a team that gets heavily involved in the community,” Norton said. “I want to put a team together that’s successful, and I would say that I’m hungry to do that. And I’m putting together a staff that is hungry to do that as well. I think we are going to recruit…student-athletes that are going to represent the school in a positive fashion.”

The Jumbos open their season on Nov. 20 by traveling to take on the Bantams for a rematch of last year’s NESCAC quarterfinals. Trinity went on to win the national championship last season, so this matchup will be a good early test for Tufts. Before then, though, is a whole off-season and preseason — opportunities for improvement and for the team to coalesce around Norton’s vision for the upcoming season.
