Ahead of Thursday testimony, Bostonians attend vigil for Christine Blasey Ford by Michael Dianetti Contributing Writer
Nearly 200 people gathered outside of Boston City Hall on Monday night to participate in a vigil in support of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault. Several Tufts students were in attendance. The crowd consisted of sexual assault survivors, women’s rights advocates, students and organizers, all of whom were invited to contribute to the open-mic style dialogue that served as the format for the event. Men and women alike shared stories of sexual assault within their own lives and offered up support to Ford and all sexual assault survivors who wish to seek justice. “I think demonstrations like this serve to help raise awareness for survivors,” Marley Hillman, a sophomore who attended the Monday night vigil, said. “We just need this to get us to the midterms.” The vigil follows on the heels of an intensifying national debate surrounding Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings.

Tufts Democrats, Republicans gear up for midterm elections by Connor Dale
Assistant News Editor
With Election Day less than two months away, Tufts Democrats and Tufts Republicans are ramping up various “get out the vote” initiatives for the 2018 midterms. Both groups said they see potential to promote engagement on campus in the upcoming midterms. According to Tufts Democrats co-President Cecilia Rodriguez, the midterms represent a vital opportunity to push back on the current political climate. “I think it’s a big test of Democratic complacency hopefully taking a turn in the right direction. There’s a real opportunity here, especially in terms of college students and especially in terms of Democrats, to make a huge difference,” Rodriguez, a senior, said. Rodriguez also noted that political awareness is on the rise among Democrats. “This year, I’ve noticed more Democrats than ever before know that a midterm is happening,” Rodriguez said. “That in itself is a huge victory.”

Tufts Democrats aims to remotely support candidates in competitive races across the nation through phone banking, according to Rodriguez. The group recently hosted a phone bank for Rep. Beto O’Rourke, the Democratic nominee in the Texas senatorial race against Republican incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz. Tufts Democrats plans to hold at least three more phone banks for O’Rourke, as well as some for Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, the Democratic nominee to be governor of Florida, and for incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson, the party’s senatorial candidate in Florida. Rodriguez said that the effort to support races outside of Massachusetts represents an opportunity for members of Tufts Democrats from all over the country to get involved in the midterm elections. “We really want to give our members as much sway in the work that we do as possible, especially since we have members of Tufts Democrats from Texas, Missouri, Minnesota and all these states that have important state district elections,” Rodriguez said. “We’re really letting our members take the front seat and put-

ting our resources toward the races that matter to them.” According to Rodriguez, Tufts Democrats’ most concrete, on-the-ground canvassing efforts will take place in New Hampshire’s First Congressional District, where Democratic nominee Chris Pappas is running to replace outgoing Rep. Carol Shea-Porter. “This is the closet swing district to us, as well as one of the most competitive races in the country, so we’re really excited to support a campaign that’s as accessible as it is to us,” Rodriguez said. Tufts Republicans President George Behrakis, a junior, said that a Democratic surge in the midterms is inevitable. “I think history is pretty clear that when a president takes office, his party commonly has unified control of government, and that changes two years later because Americans like having separation of powers and divided government,” Behrakis said. “So it’s impossible to stop the swing back in the other direction, I think it’s just a matter of how well [the Republicans] can mitigate it.”

Behrakis said that while there are fewer competitive Republican midterm races in Massachusetts, Tufts Republicans hopes to support Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker’s reelection campaign against the Democratic nominee Jay Gonzalez. “There are not as many Republican candidates in Massachusetts, so we don’t really get down to the … activist stuff as much, but we plan on canvassing on behalf of Governor Baker for his reelection campaign,” Behrakis said. “I think he’s in a strong place — he’s a great governor and he’s very popular.” Tufts Republicans intends to focus on its presence on campus, according to Behrakis. “We’re doing what we normally do: having discussions, trying to reach out to people on campus, and spreading our ideas and what students may not hear from other discourse on campus,” he said.

Police Briefs — Week of Sept. 24 by Jenna Fleischer News Editor
Water under the ceiling On Sept. 18 at 11:03 a.m., Tufts University Police Department (TUPD) responded to a fire alarm at McCollester House on 28 Capen Street, Medford. TUPD observed water seeping through the ceiling following heavy rain. The water came in contact with the smoke detector and set off the fire alarm. There was a small amount of damage to the ceiling. TUPD contacted Facilities Services, who in turn contacted a roofing company that then fixed the problem. Jumbo cashed out On Sept. 19 at 9:17 p.m., TUPD received a report from a student residing in Hill Hall that they had lost their
wallet, which contained their ID and room key. The student paid to have their ID and room key replaced, but then later discovered that someone was using their lost ID to make purchases with JumboCash. TUPD investigated and was able to successfully identify the individual who was using the student’s ID. The individual was referred to the Dean of Student Affairs, and the student was reimbursed for the individual’s purchases. Bringing down the rear On Sept. 21 at 9:24 p.m., TUPD responded to a vehicle collision in Dowling Hall Garage. An individual had backed their car into a parked Leonard Carmichael Society (LCS) van. Both the individual’s car and the LCS van sustained damage to their left rear bumpers.
Two shots of vodka On Sept. 22 at 12:55 a.m., TUPD received a medical call at Houston Hall. When TUPD arrived on the scene, they found a student sitting on the floor of a common area, covered in vomit. When asked if the student had been drinking, they responded that they had consumed several shots of vodka. The student was transported to the hospital and C&W Services was contacted to clean the common area. There’s no fog without a fire alarm Later that day at 9:30 p.m., TUPD responded to a fire alarm at Capen House on 8 Professors Row. When TUPD arrived on the scene, a student identified themselves as having set up a fog machine in the basement, which subsequently set off the fire alarm. Somerville Fire Department reset the fire alarm.
Campus groups talk youth vote, midterm elections MIDTERMS
continued from page 1 Republicans are hosting a series of expertled panels that aim to contextualize the midterm elections and to expand political engagement on campus, according to Jennifer McAndrew, director of communications, strategy and planning at Tisch College. “This series was really a student-driven initiative through the Tufts Republicans, Tufts Democrats, CIVIC and other groups; they came to Tisch College through JumboVote and asked for support,” McAndrew said. “Our goal is to expand political engagement and learning on campus, and we want student organizations to tell us what motivates them about being involved in elections and political work so that we can help them plan initiatives like this.” According to Tisch College Student Outreach Coordinator Peter de Guzman (LA ’18), the first of these events is today’s “The Midterm Elections & The Youth Vote,” in Alumnae Lounge. David Paleologos, director of the political research center at
Suffolk University, and Kei KawashimaGinsberg, director of the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) at Tisch College are slated to host. Paleologos and Kawashima-Ginsberg will be discussing CIRCLE’s research, young people’s political participation and voting habits and how young people might impact the upcoming midterm elections. “This event fits into JumboVote and Tisch College’s intentional efforts to provide resources to students that go beyond just registering students to vote and request absentee ballots, but also to provide them with educational opportunities,” de Guzman told the Daily in an email. Beyond the midterms, in terms of broader organizational goals, Tufts Democrats hopes to become a better ally, both for underrepresented groups and student organizations on campus, according to Rodriguez. “My co-president [senior Deborah Mayo] and I have both been in the club for four years, and we would like to see a shift in the culture, where I think both of us
have felt like it is not the easiest space to be a person of color, to be a woman, to be a member of the queer community, and to participate, which is pretty ironic because those are all the groups that we claim to represent and fight for,” Rodriguez said. “We’re hoping to show our commitment to those groups, not only by changing the way that people in our club participate and address each other, but also in terms of supporting other groups on campus, like [Tufts Housing League] and [Tufts Labor Coalition].” Behrakis said that Tufts Republicans looks to work toward its continuous goal of engaging students and providing an alternative source of campus discourse. “The same goal that we’ve had for a long time is broadening our base of support, reaching out to people who we think are open to conservative or center-right ideas and just informing the Tufts campus in ways that they may not be getting informed by other clubs,” Behrakis said. “Our organizational goals are not any different than they were last year or the year before — we’re just moving forward.”

VIGIL
continued from page 1 mid-September, Ford accused President Donald Trump’s nominee of sexually assaulting her at a high school party in the early 1980s. After multiple days of uncertainty surrounding Ford’s willingness to testify, and negotiations over terms, Ford is scheduled to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee tomorrow. Vigil attendees also spoke to a system that forces sexual assault survivors to feel shame and guilt in order to seek justice. With references to the 1991 case of Anita Hill and then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas, in which Hill’s allegations against Thomas were treated skeptically by the Senate Judiciary Committee, vigil co-organizer Delia Harrington voiced a desire for change. “I think it’s pretty clear what happened with Anita Hill,” Harrington said, alleging that not all evidence was allowed to be presented. “The only silver lining is that we can learn from our mistakes. The real heartbreak would be if we let it happen again.” Monday’s vigil came to be in a matter of a week, according to Harrington and co-organizer Victoria Bilcik. They spread the message as quickly as they could via Facebook and through word of mouth with the help of Boston Socialist Alternative, Food for Activists, Boston Area
Crisis Center and other area non-profits and political organizations, according to Harrington. While sexual assault was the main topic of discussion, several members of the audience were present to protest for additional reasons. “Expect Roe v. Wade to be gutted and overhauled if Kavanaugh is confirmed,” Kate Froehlich, membership and organizing manager for NARAL ProChoice Massachusetts, said. “This will be a disaster for women’s and minority rights throughout the nation.” Several student organizations on campus have weighed in on the Supreme Court nomination, Kavanaugh, sexual assault allegations and the validity of the confirmation process. Tufts Democrats co-President Cecelia Rodriguez told the Daily in an electronic message that the organization stands by all women who have come forward against Kavanaugh in recent days. Rodriguez criticized Senate Republicans for their handling of the allegations. “The Republican Party continues to show its true colors by attempting to discredit survivors,” Rodriguez said. “This proves that for all our dialogue about times changing for women since the confirmation of Clarence Thomas, the party that confirmed him remains steadfastly
unchanged in its view of women in the personal and political realms. Tufts Republicans declined to comment on the matter. Tufts’ chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) declined to endorse or condemn Kavanaugh’s nomination, in line with ACLU’s national policy barring political endorsements. However, Madison Beke-Somers, the group’s co-leader, emphasized that allegations of sexual assault should be taken seriously. “We believe allegations of sexual assault need to be given fair and serious consideration, and that the case of [Ford] needs to be investigated properly over an appropriate period of time,” Beske-Somers, a sophomore, said. “We wholeheartedly support the right of students to protest Kavanaugh, and any other government appointment, and to peacefully demonstrate in support of [Ford].” Aside from their opposition to the Supreme Court nominee, vigil attendees spoke more generally about the need to say, “I believe you,” to survivors of sexual assault. “Let’s keep telling our stories,” Jaclyn Friedman, a writer and activist, told attendees. “But let’s start making demands too [because] #MeToo isn’t a movement; it’s a moment in a centuries long battle to end sexual assault.”

Mike Espy
ormer Congressman Mike Espy is no stranger to the people of Mississippi. The three-term legislator-turned Secretary of Agriculture won four elections in one of the most conservative states in the United States by positioning himself as a Blue Dog Democrat willing to put Mississippi above the sport of politics. And he might just be the first Democratic U.S. Senator from The Magnolia State in almost three decades. Prior to his election to Congress in 1986, Espy served as assistant attorney general for the state, a role in which he directed Mississippi’s consumer protection division. Espy’s work on the House Agriculture Committee led to his service as President Bill Clinton’s Secretary of Agriculture from 1993 to 1994. Since leaving Washington over 20 years ago, he has worked as a private attorney with Morgan & Morgan, a law firm in his home state. After announcing his Senate candidacy earlier this year, Espy spent time with renowned conservative intellectual and columnist George F. Will. In an opinion piece titled “How a Democrat could finagle a win in Mississippi,” Will expounds on the mathematical realities of the race. He predicts that Espy’s ability to engage the state’s large black voting bloc while garnering support from his white former constituents could lead to his victory in November. Espy’s election would make him the first African-American senator to represent Mississippi since 1871, and only the 11th black senator in American history. The context of the race makes Espy’s victory even more likely. Earlier this year, at the age of 80, Senator Thad Cochran retired for health reasons, prompting Governor Phil Bryant to fill the seat. He chose Cindy Hyde-Smith, the state’s commissioner of agriculture and commerce, to hold Cochran’s seat until a special election could be held on Nov. 6. While she was originally seen as a shooin for reelection this fall, an infamous fire-breather has entered the race and made it all the more complex. State Senator Chris McDaniel nearly ousted Cochran in a 2014 Republican primary, and now he is back to take on Hyde-Smith. Pointing to her record as a former Obama supporter and Democrat, McDaniel has argued that Hyde-Smith isn’t nearly conservative enough to represent Mississippi. Due to Mississippi’s non-partisan primary system — should no candidate receive more than 50 percent of the vote, a runoff election between the top two finishers will be held in December — the Republican vote may be split on Nov. 6, which creates space for Espy’s candidacy. While it is possible that Espy receives the requisite 50 percent on Election Day, it is far more likely that he and one of the Republicans engage in a blitzkrieg runoff campaign lasting only a few weeks. And should the control of the U.S. Senate come down to Espy vs. the GOP, you can expect a hailstorm of TV ads, presidential endorsements and 2020 hopefuls barn-storming Mississippi in December.

FILM SCREENING
Expanded cinema installation to break down traditional film by Stephanie Hoechst Assistant Arts Editor
The Tisch Library roof will be lit up with film projection tomorrow from 7:30 to 10 p.m. Natalie Minik, a technical specialist and part-time lecturer in the Film and Media Studies department, has organized an experimental film event, entitled “Mixed-Use: A Night of Expanded Cinema with the AgX Film Collective,” to showcase the potential for film as an interactive and immersive experience, known as expanded cinema. Minik said that the installation will feature different film projections onto the structures and trees on the roof of Tisch Library. She explained that this setup urges viewers to experience the installation by wandering and exploring as one would in a gallery space, rather than watching a film in a traditional theater setting. “Cinema typically stays within a single channel, like in a theater or on your phone, and it’s this one-on-one relationship,” Minik said. “But what expanded cinema does is ask, ‘Where else can we experience moving image?’” Minik also said that ENSEMBLE / PARALLAX, a music group from Berklee College of Music, will be performing at the event between 8 and 9 p.m. to accompany the moving images being shown. “They’re a bunch of musicians from Berklee who work more within the avant-garde, atonal, 20th-century [and] 21st-century composers, creating more of an ambient soundtrack to complement the immersive experience,” she said. Minik finds that this approach to film encourages viewers to observe the event however they want. “It gives the audience more agency and also breaks up the idea of what a movie is,” she said. “You’re going to be able to sit and watch the musicians as well as sit and watch projections or just mill about the space and experience it.” Minik is especially interested in the tactile nature of 16 millimeter (mm)

I think in this day and age, when we experience so many things on digital screens or on our phones or these small images, we forget that film can be quite beautiful and its own material in itself. So I’m hoping that Tufts students who come to the event or just kind of stumble upon the event get to experience that beauty.” The installation will include several 16mm projectors on display as part of the experience, according to Minik. This event is not the first time Minik has worked on an experimental film show-
case. She is part of a group called AgX Film Collective that experiments with analog film and creates similar experimental exhibitions. AgX has projected onto City Hall in Boston as well as in a Boston museum called Waterworks, where it incorporated the museum’s 19th-century industrial equipment into its exhibition. Minik has been working with AgX to organize tomorrow’s event. “I’ve been wanting to do something and curate something of my own, and being up on that roof really just inspired me,” she said. “So that desire, plus my desire for more people to see moving image work on this campus, for the arts to be more a part of just the
landscape of Tufts — those two things collided to create the project.” Explaining that anyone is welcome at the event, Minik said that she hopes, above all, that students will enjoy interacting with film in a more experimental setting and appreciate film’s potential outside a theater. “I’m hoping people walk away from it thinking there [are] a lot of possibilities with film, and that there’s not just one way to approach the medium,” Minik said. “And I also hope that people get excited about the arts at Tufts because I think there are a lot of really engaged students who probably crave more arts in public spaces.”
INTERVIEW
Somerville Theatre presents third annual 70 millimeter film festival by Julian Blatt
Assistant Arts Editor
Movies. They captivate us, entertain us, make us experience a gamut of emotions and perhaps even affect our view of the world. They deserve to be celebrated. Ian Judge, director of operations at the Somerville Theatre, recognizes the special importance of 70 millimeter (mm) film, which is a wider, higher-resolution format than the standard 35mm version. In order to emphasize and highlight the significance of the format, Ian has organized the theater’s third annual 70mm & WideScreen Festival. From Sept. 20–30, movie lovers can visit the Somerville Theatre and watch a variety of films in all of their glory, culminating with the Stanley Kubrick masterpiece “2001: A Space Odyssey” (1968). To learn more about the festival, the Daily conducted an interview with Judge: Tufts Daily (TD): Why is the Somerville Theatre organizing this event?
Ian Judge (IJ): Since we are one of a handful of venues in the country that can project and present the 70mm film format properly, it is a natural fit for us to host the festival. TD: Is there a connection between the movies that are playing at the festival? Why did you choose these particular films? IJ: Unfortunately, there are a limited number of titles available to us. That is both a function of the fact that only so many movies were made in the 70mm format, and also because very few of them remain in circulation; that is, there are few that still possess a physical film print to present. Many of the film prints have been damaged or ruined beyond repair over the years, mostly from theaters that don’t know how to project them properly and damage them. And the directors rarely produce new copies of these in 70mm anymore, aside from the handful of new releases that are still created in 70mm, like “Ready Player One”
(2018) or “Dunkirk” (2017). So from this limited palette of titles, we try to put together a festival that features movies that we either have not played before at our previous two festivals, or are popular enough that we can bring them back every couple of years, like “Spartacus” (1960) or “2001: A Space Odyssey.” TD: What does a 70mm format add to the audience experience? IJ: 70mm lends a much higher sound quality. We are one of the only theaters in the country that can run magnetic sound, which is the sound format most 70mm films are in. We are the only venue in the Boston area with a ToddAO speaker setup. Visually speaking, 70mm produces a sharper, brighter image. While film is not measured in [kelvins] the way digital images are, a 70mm print is about the equivalent of 15,000K to 18,000K, which creates a much higher resolution. Some of the titles we are playing are “blow-ups” of movies that were shot in 35mm but
were blown up to 70mm for theatrical release to take advantage of the sound and picture quality. However, the titles that were actually filmed in 70mm have an amazing clarity and a stunning image, especially “Those Magnificent Men & Their Flying Machines” (1965) or “2001: A Space Odyssey.” TD: What do you hope the takeaway is for people who go to the festival? IJ: I hope that people realize that this is a very special exhibition of rare materials, materials that dwindle in number as each year goes by. Those in the audience may be the last moviegoers to watch these works of art as they were meant to be seen. TD: Lastly, what is your plan for other festivals or special events at the theater in the future? Are there any events you are excited about or hope to organize? IJ: Aside from our classic film programming, almost all of the events at see 70MM, page 7

achary Hertz (ZH): Welcome back! This week’s guest is Robert Hoover, a beleaguered sophomore who, as an athlete, physics major, percussion hero and campus celeb, proves you really can have it all, as long as you don’t sleep! Today’s another pop punk classic: Fall Out Boy’s (FOB) “Infinity On High” (2007). Robert Hoover (RH): I’m not accustomed to mozzarella sticks or pop punk, so it’s interesting to experience both at once. You wouldn’t think vocals with a large pop influence go with an instrumental that is straight-up metal punk, but you really appreciate it once you get into it. Brady Shea (BS): It’s like sweet and savory, or pineapple on pizza. You realize it isn’t that bad. ZH: Eh, I haven’t tried pineapple on pizza as much as I’ve tried listening to FOB but I don’t think I’ll ever get used to that. BS: Do you ever hear music and flash back to high school? That’s me when I hear their pre-2012 albums. “Hum Hallelujah” (2007) is a super emotional song hiding behind a traditional pop punk jam, comparing Pete Wentz’s suicide attempt to a marriage or commitment you might regret. Also, hot take, but “Thriller” (2007) is the best way to open an album. ZH: Of course “Thnks Fr Th Mmrs” and “This Ain’t A Scene” are some FOB classics, but “Bang The Doldrums” is my stealth favorite, a breakup anthem, and — fun fact — originally written for “Shrek 2” (2004). RH: Honestly any 12/8 song is a jam — since it has to be swung it’s always pushing the beat. ZH: And if this moment were a song, it’d be “The Take Over, The Breaks Over” because our sticks have arrived from Espresso’s. BS: Pretty typical mozzarella stick — definitely better than last week’s. RH: They’re pretty creamy if you go at it without sauce and really work it. The mouthfeel is really interesting at first but if you keep working at it, it gets a bit softer. ZH: Let’s check out the ‘hotzerella’ sticks. These are lowkey the reason I have to diet. BS: Yeah, ‘hotzerella’ sticks have been and always will be my favorites — it’s the closest mozzarella sticks will ever get to a 10 out of 10 for me. RH: They’re definitely better than the original. I used to eat Takis all the time but I’m starting to view spicy foods as a gimmick. It’s definitely a seven or eight out of 10 though, and I am a fan of the ranch. Overall, I’m a big fan of the mozzarella sticks and while I’m less passionate about the album, it makes me wish I got into pop punk. BS: Yeah, this is a top five pop punk album. ‘Hotzerella’ sticks are also a top five food around Tufts campus, and I wish I could think of something clever to wrap it up but I’m kinda fried. ZH: Just like these sticks, am I right? And since I have no shame when it comes to bad attempts at wordplay, when thinking about a night with “Infinity On High,” hotzerella svticks and Robert, I’ve gotta say thanks for the memories.

hen I ask whether urbanization is a positive force, I am really asking two questions: Is the standard of living higher for people who live in cities? And, is it a positive force for the environment? Urbanization can lead to economic development, and, if done well, can help reduce the effects of climate change by concentrating populations and infrastructure and freeing up rural lands to be reclaimed by natural ecosystems. However, if urbanization is executed poorly, no good can come of it. And there are clear economic and political barriers that prevent us from reaping the environmental benefits of successful urbanization, namely pollution, poverty and political instability. China, whose urbanization has been coupled with industrialization over the past 80 or so years, has experienced unprecedented levels of air pollution, which contributes to 1.6 million deaths annually, according to one study. In Mauritania, 42 percent of the population lives at or below the poverty line, and this precondition fuels a cycle of “booming but dysfunctional cities.” Lastly, Niamey, Niger, is known for its public corruption, and financial mismanagement of the city has increased terrorist activity while decreasing investment and quality of life. The lack of security for property rights, and the exploitation of natural resources has harmed both the economy and ecology. All these issues lead to negative urban environments, and while overcoming them is difficult, it’s not impossible. It’s clear that several conditions are necessary for effective, positive urbanization — that which works for people, the economy and the environment. A growing metropolitan area must have access to clean, abundant energy. China faces this issue, and has decided to invest in nuclear power, a technology with a track record of providing reliable energy with little pollution. A city must have systems to combat poverty and disease. Following the 2013 garment factory collapse in Dhaka, the Bangladeshi government reformed many systems to ensure safer working conditions for their largest industry. While imperfect, the reforms — monitored worker welfare and attempted to alleviate the worst problems in the developing economy — led to the continued growth of the economy and nation as a whole. A city must have a stable government, a strong police force and an efficient justice system. International aid, advisors and peacekeeping efforts can go a long way — as was the case in Côte d’Ivoire, where U.N. peacekeeping efforts left the country stable and with a strong legal infrastructure. Lastly, the city must respect ecosystems in place, and promote interaction and protection. Berlin’s approach is to reintegrate the city into the watershed by making it a “sponge city.” By redesigning how Berlin interacts with water, city planners are creating a better urban environment for humans, plants and animals. Rooftop gardens, moss and other plants are being reintroduced to the city which reduces both runoff and the urban heat island effect. Greenery make us happier, so a greener city will not only mean a more eco-friendly city, but also a higher quality of life for everyone. Urbanization is a positive force, when clean energy solutions are employed, poverty-combatting policies are in place, the political environment is stable and the environment is viewed as a partner. People will be happier to live in these types of cities, and we must keep these principles in mind if we wish to see productive, healthy urban areas.

continued from page 12 properly, touch up our games and figure out who we need playing to solidify a spot in the top four [at the NESCAC Qualifier].” Tufts will tee off against plenty of talented competition this weekend at the Qualifier, from which the top four teams will advance to the conference championship tournament in the spring. Last season, the Jumbos qual-
ified for the first time since the tournament was instituted in its current format, and they will look to repeat their success this year. The team will face off with powerhouses such as Williams — which handily won the last two regional tournaments — Trinity, Middlebury and Hamilton, which finished in third, seventh and tied for eighth this weekend, respectively. Feldman, Karr and Theodore will return to the qualify-
ing tournament after competing in the event last year, as the trio finished third, fourth and fifth for the Jumbos, respectively, in the team’s third-place effort. The two-day NESCAC Qualifier will be held at the Lyman Orchards Golf Club in Middlefield, Conn. on Saturday and Sunday. There, the Jumbos will take on the host Wesleyan Cardinals and the rest of the NESCAC in hopes of earning a spot to compete in the conference championship.
Bettez takes first place, earns conference recognition WOMEN'S CROSS COUNTRY
continued from page 12 The team lost out only to MIT (67) and Williams (81), and finished in third place. Tufts runners also competed in the 5,000-meter event. Sophomore Johanna Ross led the way for the Jumbos, finishing with a time of 20:56.7 to score six points. Right behind her was firstyear Lucy Tumavicus, who recorded a time of 20:58.6 for eight points. First-years Alex Walter (21:34.0) and Heidy Acevedo (21:42.5), along with sophomore Emily Murray (22:03.5), all placed within the Top 25, finishing 16th, 20th and 25th, respectively.
Sophomore Madeleine Oliver rounded out the scoring for the Jumbos with a time of 23:07.0. Noble was proud of the team’s accomplishments in the young season. “The team is doing very well and is on track to [have] a great season,” she said. “Although we had a few fast seniors graduate last year, we are just as strong of a team, if not stronger. We have some talented [first-years] that have been great additions to the team, and many of our returning runners have significantly improved since last year. Some great performances from [new and veteran runners] alike have
allowed us to do well at our first couple of meets. Overall, the team has a positive vibe going, and we are very optimistic for our future meets.” Tufts will compete next at the Bowdoin Invitational on Sept. 29. Based on the Jumbos’ performances thus far, Noble is optimistic about their chances at the meet. “We did not race everyone last weekend, so we will have a lot of fresh legs racing at Bowdoin,” she said. “It will be our first time racing at Bowdoin, and much of the team is excited to use their speed on Bowdoin’s flat course. I expect to see a lot of fast times and further improvements from my teammates.”
om vs. Time” is reaching an untimely pinnacle for Patriots fans. As in, is it time to worry about Tom … for good … like really start sounding the alarm … and realizing there’s no backup plan. Uh oh. Brady’s arm unremarkably expired on a fourth quarter heave to Phillip Dorsett in the dying embers of a 26–10 defeat to Matt Patricia’s Detroit Lions. Tom, leaning back as if he was creaking in a rocking chair, appeared to blindly chuck a wobbly spiral into triple coverage. And speaking of backup plans, the Colts brought on Jacoby Brissett to throw a Hail Mary on the final play in their loss to the Eagles. Asked why the change was made, the quarterback with perhaps the greatest natural gifts in history, Andrew Luck, explained that Brissett “has a stronger arm than [he does].” In case you forgot, the Patriots traded Brissett for Phillip Dorsett. You may say that since Jimmy Garoppolo tore his ACL for the 49ers, trading him when Belichick did (*cough Brady requested cough*) was inherently correct. Sure, chide the boy all you want for trying to stretch a running play a couple yards, but have you ever seen Tom engage a defender like that? Jimmy G is elastic enough. Maybe Belichick sprinkled some of his dark magic upon the poor boy. The 49ers are rebuilding (unless you listen to Richard Sherman), and they can waver through a lack of expectations while they wait for the greener pastures of Jimmy G to return. There’s no rush. Their coach isn’t a surly old man in a hoodie. The Pats? How about Brian Hoyer, ironically the 49ers starter last year when they stumbled to a 0–6 record. Draft picks? They used a first rounder on win-now piece Sony Michel, who — given the fickle nature of running backs — was probably a reach. A Sony PlayStation to a team that needed a television set. The offensive line is underwhelming without Nate Solder. The defense has the second-fewest sacks and has allowed the second-most rushing yards. There’s no Vince Wilfork, Richard Seymour or Jerod Mayo saving that front seven. The secondary is a hair better, but Stephon Gilmore and Devin McCourty aren’t Ty Law and Rodney Harrison. The biggest problem, of course, is that Tom Brady isn’t Tom Brady. He isn’t the Tom of 50-touchdown glory. He isn’t the Tom whose hairstyle oddly resembled Justin Bieber’s at one point. Romanticizing “Tom vs. Time” (which actually had an odd amount of romance) into a folkloric testament to Tom’s body was cute as the Patriots romped their way to the AFC title last season. When Brady throws for 133 yards against Detroit? When the Pats have a minus-20 point differential through three weeks, fourth-worst in the NFL? Not as much. Time may be winning. Cue “falling off a cliff” jokes. But hey! Brian Hoyer will be there to catch you, ready to play with his Sony PlayStation.

Women’s cross country continues strong form with third-place finish at Purple Valley Classic
MADELEINE OLIVER / TUFTS TRACK AND FIELD
Senior co-captain Natalie Bettez races ahead of the competition on her way to winning the Purple Valley Classic at Mt. Greylock High School on Sept. 22. by Liam Finnegan Sports Editor
Disclaimer: Madeleine Oliver is a staff photographer for the Daily. She was not involved in the writing of this article. The Jumbos competed in the Purple Valley Classic on Saturday in Williamstown, Mass., where they built upon last week’s first-place finish with more success, as they came in third place out of the 13 teams running at the event. In the 6,000-meter race, senior co-captain Natalie Bettez continued her great form and took first place in the 129-runner field for the second week in a row. Bettez clocked a time of 22:06.9, out-pacing the sec-
ond-place runner, Coast Guard sophomore Kaitlyn Mooney, by 9.8 seconds. With her first-place finish, Bettez was named NESCAC Women’s Cross Country Performer of the Week, the second time she has won the honor in her career. Last year, Bettez placed sixth at the NESCAC Championships and was named to the All-NESCAC First Team. “Being NESCAC cross country performer of the week is a nice honor and it was definitely an exciting race,” Bettez said. “Last weekend was a really great race for a lot of people on our team, and it was exciting to see that we could hold our own against other NESCAC teams that we will be competing against later in the season.”
Bettez’s strategy has been key in her recent successes. “I usually aim to go out and listen to how I feel and then increase my pace later on in the race if I am feeling good,” Bettez said. “I am more of a long-distance runner, so I prefer to start out conservative and get faster as the race goes on. I try and remember that everyone is just as tired as I am and that racing is both a test of how strong you are mentally and physically. Just being confident and focusing on passing people can go a long way.” Senior Julia Noble, who posted a time of 23:37.8 for a 16th-place finish, said she was happy to see progress in her performance. “It was extremely rewarding to see my training pay off during the race,
and I am thrilled to be making major progress,” Noble said. “Last year I was unable to race at the [Purple Valley Classic] due to an injury, so I am more than happy to be back racing and feeling great.” First-year Danielle Page (23:37.7) was the third Jumbo to cross the line, finishing 21st, and was followed by fellow first-year Anna Slager (24:02.5), who finished 37th overall. The last three Jumbos to finish the race were senior co-captain Caitlin Porrazzo (24:06.6) in 39th, junior Jennifer Jackson (24:26.3) in 48th and sophomore Melissa Rowland (24:33.4) in 55th. Tufts finished with a team score of 114 and a cumulative time of 1:57.215. see WOMEN'S CROSS COUNTRY, page 11
Golf team fades on Sunday in tune-up for NESCAC Qualifier by Ethan Zaharoni
Assistant Sports Editor
Tufts visited conference rival Williams over the weekend to compete in its final competition before the NESCAC Qualifier. The Williams Fall Invite was held at the Taconic Golf Club in Williamstown, Mass., where the Jumbos finished in a tie for eighth place out of 20 teams, shooting 622 overall. The tournament was won by the host Ephs, who shot 588, 17 strokes ahead of second place Husson University. The Jumbos kicked off the Invite in strong form, finishing Saturday’s first round in third place. The team was led by senior co-captain Justin Feldman,
who finished with a 4-over 75, closing the first round in a tie for eighth. Junior Brandon Karr and sophomore Henry Hughes both finished at 5-over 76 to place in a tie for 12th. The Jumbos’ scoring on Saturday was rounded out by first-year Mac Bredahl, who shot a 6-over 77 to enter the second round in a tie for 24th, and sophomore Harry Theodore, who recorded an 8-over 79. The Jumbos finished the day in prime position to challenge for a great finish on Sunday, sitting only one stroke behind the second-place Babson Beavers and eight shots behind the leading Ephs. Tufts was unable to capitalize on its first-round success, however, shooting a 318 on Day 2 to fall into a tie
for eighth. Every Jumbo golfer finished with a higher score in the second round than they recorded in the first. Karr dropped one shot, firing a 6-over 77 to end the tournament in a tie for 16th place. Feldman fell into a tie for 28th after shooting 9-over 80 on Sunday. Bredahl shot 8-over 79 to finish in a tie for 32nd, while Theodore (11-over 82) and Hughes (14-over 85) to tie for 57th place. The tournament featured only just one golfer under par, as Williams junior co-captain Sam Goldenring finished with a 2-under 140. Last year’s top finisher at the NESCAC Championship, Trinity senior Will Rosenfield, finished second with a 3-over score of 145. While the Jumbos were disappoint-
ed by Sunday’s results, they felt that their first round performance showed signs of being able to compete with NESCAC powerhouses in the upcoming conference tournament. “We had a really strong showing on Saturday and obviously Sunday was disappointing,” Karr said. “Still, we proved to ourselves that we can beat teams that have been playing well this year, like Trinity and Middlebury. We have a lot more confidence after this past weekend, regardless of where we finished, and know we are plenty capable of qualifying this coming weekend. This week, we’re just looking to prepare see GOLF, page 11
