Student adds to musical tradition Sarah Robinson Staff Writer A bass, a sax, a synthesizer, a drum machine and boundless creative energy: these are the five key components that went into sophomore Cameron Gilmour’s latest release. Gilmour released his debut EP “Sleeping Minds” Aug. 19 with five self-made songs. UVM has a tradition of students making their own music, dating back to December 1983 when Phish played its first concert in the Harris-Millis dining hall, according to the band’s website. Years later, Phish went on to garner a cult following and became a key player in the jam band genre. With student bands 2% and the recently disbanded Jeddy in the spotlight, the tradition continues. Gilmour is trying his hand at becoming a part of local music history. A saxophone player since middle school, Gilmour delved deeply into the creation of music with his multi-faceted, self-described “acid-jazz” album. “I was living in Burlington this summer and wasn’t socializing a ton, so I was just alone in my room making music,” Gilmour said. “I had the thought where I was like, ‘Oh, I could actually make something out of this,’ and so I started making songs with a purpose and a theme.” He decided to explore the inner workings of the subconscious brain. The album is about how harnessing the subconscious lets people achieve more in terms of creative expression, Gilmour said. “I had all of these things in my head that I wanted desper-
ately to come out,” he said. Gilmour taught himself how to play the bass and piano for the album, he said. “I don’t know how to play piano,” Gilmour said. “I didn’t know how to play bass. “I definitely don’t know how to play drums, so I learned how to fake it on piano and I taught myself bass, essentially.” Gilmour’s friend, sophomore Curt Scheffel, spoke of Gilmour’s drive and determination. “He sets out to do something and he does it, and he plays a mean sax,” Scheffel said. A music tech and physics double major, Gilmour was able to find the art in both the creative process and the production of the album. “A big part of the art for me was mixing the album,” he said. Mixing is one of the many steps in music production where tracks are fine-tuned. When working on a song, Gilmour said he started by putting together a powerful bass line. Once he found something he liked, he recorded the saxophone, mixed the track and added whatever effects he found appropriate, he said. The mixing and production inspired him to fill the rest of the song with a smooth, cohesive melody, he said. Though the majority of “Sleeping Minds” is Gilmour’s solo work, there is one exception. The second song on the EP, “If a Tree Falls,” features a drum track performed by firstyear Ryan Darling, a member of local band 2%. Gilmour described Darling as “a super talented dude”. He looks forward to collaborating

with more musicians in the future, Gilmour said. Though collaboration is a huge part of what makes music such a powerful work, having complete autonomy over his work is special, Gilmour said. “It was really cool being just me because I could do whatever I wanted and I didn’t have to go through the process of trying to explain what was
in my head,” he said. “Your conscious mind uses language, and language is imperfect.” Gilmour said he has some plans in the works, but isn’t saying what. “We’ll see what they turn out to actually be,” he said. “Sleeping Minds” is available for purchase on iTunes and to stream on Spotify and Apple Music.
Engineering professor faces DUI charges Lauren Schnepf Assistant News Editor A UVM professor was intoxicated while driving with her children when she rear-ended another vehicle and fled the scene. Mechanical engineering professor Rachael Oldinski was accused of driving under the influence when she rear-ended a car and continued driving on North Avenue in Burlington Aug. 31, according to a City of Burlington police report. The driver Oldinski struck followed her until she stopped on Institute Road, according to the police report. Oldinski’s 3-year-old and 6-year-old children were in the car, but neither were injured, the report stated. Oldinski showed signs of alcohol impairment and was taken into custody for DUI testing, according to the report. Her blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit when she submitted to a breathalyzer

test, the report stated. Oldinski was charged with a DUI, child cruelty and leaving the scene of an accident, the report stated. Oldinski said she has
been receiving support from colleagues and the administration, she stated in a Sept. 6 email. “As always, we are taking every appropriate step to en-
sure the academic needs of our students are met,” said Enrique Corredera, UVM executive director of news and public affairs. Oldinski did not seem like the type of person to be involved in an incident like this, said senior Joshua Gervais, a student in Oldinski’s technical engineering class. “She’s young, so she’s engaging and keeps students’ attention,” Gervais said. Oldinski taught Sept. 6 after being absent the day after the incident, according to Gervais. “She came in with the dean of the Engineering School and apologized for being absent but did not discuss the incident,” Gervais said. Oldinski has been involved with research on using seaweed to treat cancer, replace cartilage and repair punctured lungs, according to a June 27 Vermont Quarterly article. “Professor Oldinski’s professional record speaks for itself,” Corredera said.
UVM junior Rebecca Ryan died while rock climbing with friends in the Lower West Bolton Climbing Area Saturday. Annie Stevens, vice provost of student affairs, announced Ryan’s death in a campus-wide email Sept. 17. “We extend our deepest condolences to Rebecca’s family,” Stevens stated in the email. “Our sincere thoughts of care and sympathy are also extended to Rebecca’s friends, classmates, and to faculty and staff who were close to her.” Ryan fell about 90 feet while attempting to descend a cliff. She was an experienced rock climber, according to a Sept. 16 U.S. News article. She was pronounced dead on scene, the article stated. The Lower West Bolton Climbing Area is the most popular and accessible climbing area in Bolton Valley, according to mountainproject.com. Ryan was originally from Knoxville, Tennessee and was studying at UVM to be an athletic trainer, the article stated. She was a student in the College of Nursing and Health Sciences, Stevens stated in the email. Ryan was a member of the UVM Rock Climbing Club and involved with in the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship on campus, Stevens stated. Her mother described her as “an adventurous young woman, deeply committed to her faith,” Stevens stated. Those in need of additional support following the accident are encouraged to reach out to UVM’s counseling and psychiatry services at (802) 656-3340. Once it becomes available, information about memorial services for Ryan will be sent out, Stevens stated.

Burlington teachers strike and garner UVM support Brandon Arcari Breaking News Assistant Editor Burlington and South Burlington teachers are striking over contract disputes after the school board voted on a new contract that teachers say is unfair. The strike closed schools Thursday and Friday. The new contract provides an annual raise of $1,700 and lowers the health care plan cost, according to a Sept. 1 VT Digger article. This imposition came after teachers agreed to a one-year imposed contract in 2016. “We really truly believe we are fighting for the lifeblood of the Burlington public schools,” said Betsy Nolan, a member of the Burlington Education Association and a music teacher at Edmunds Middle School in the Burlington School District. Nolan said while the union is willing to compromise on salary and health benefits, they are taking a hard position over planning time for teachers. UVM’s faculty union, United Academics, issued a statement in support of teachers in South Burlington. UA stated its objection to the contract imposition because it is “forcing the teachers of South Burlington to choose between going on strike or accepting a contract they find in their best judgement to be un-

reasonable,” according to the statement. The current imposed contract will take planning time from elementary school teachers, according to a Sept. 1 Burlington Free Press article. Nolan said this is what allows them to not only set up lesson plans and grade work, but also to collaborate with colleagues.
The school board said the imposed contract is fair, and said that when both sides sat for mediated settlement talks, the BEA brought in new demands, according to a Sept. 8 VPR article. “In the context of student needs and the ability of the community to fund public education, the contract terms set by the board are fair,” school
board chair Mark Porter said in a statement. It is important for UVM students to see that their best interests lie with the BEA, said sophomore Scarlett Moore, who marched in support of the teachers said. The teacher’s union is fighting for a high quality education, against institutional racism and to protect the most
vulnerable students, she said. The BEA is the teachers union for the Burlington School District. They have not gone on strike since 1978, Nolan said. This year, they voted 282-16 to go on strike over the conditions they are facing.
University continues with efforts to restore Torrey Hall after fire Lauren Schnepf Assistant News Editor The fire in Torrey Hall last month has lasting effects on the programs and staff members that were housed there. The department is calling on the public for help. Everyone is invited to an event in the Morrill Hall computer lab from 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Oct. 21 and 22 to help catalogue plant speciments, said senior Gabriel Martin, one of the students who has been working on digitizing the building’s plant collection. The Pringle Herbarium houses thousands of plant specimens from around the world. All specimens, housed in 180 cabinets, have been relocated to Jeffords since the fire, said plant biology professor David Barrington. The department was in the process of digitizing the entire collection of specimens when the fire occurred. The fire slowed down this process significantly, Martin said. Following the fire, both the plant biology and animal biology departments were relocated to Jeffords Hall and Blundell House respectively, Barrington said. However, the fire was not all bad news for the department. Due to the water damage from the fire hoses, the entire interior of Torrey has been stripped down, leaving the potential for a redesign. The process of moving all the specimens from Torrey Hall
to Jeffords was expensive but will be covered by insurance, Barrington said. The move took about four days, but the UVM physical plant department that assisted in the move was incredibly helpful, Barrington said. During the fire, firefighters were instructed to cover and protect the cabinets containing these artifacts, according to an Aug. 3 Burlington Fire Department press release. The natural sciences library contained in Torrey Hall has also been moved to the basement of Jeffords and is contained almost entirely in boxes, Barrington said. “There are a lot of cool resources buried away that we don’t have access to right now,” Barrington said. While Torrey Hall had two classrooms before the fire, there have not been classes taught there in several years, Barrington said. Before the fire broke out, the plant biology department hosted UVM students and outreach classes where students and community members could view and learn about the specimens. Hosting these programs has become much more challenging due to limited space after the fire, but the department is still open to hosting outreach programs and hopes the community will continue to show interest, Barrington said. The fire has also brought a lot of visibility to the departments within it, Martin said.

Gun control forum opens space for debate Lindsay Freed Senior Staff Writer Students and community members packed the Livak Ballroom of the Davis Center while waiting to discuss gun control. The Janus Forum presented the discussion “Gun Control Policy: An exploration of legal, social and moral issues” Sept. 14. The forum is a UVM faculty group that organizes panel discussions about controversial issues to encourage open and constructive debate, said Richard Vanden Bergh, director of the Janus Forum and professor in the Grossman School of Business. “When we came up with the idea,” Vanden Bergh said, “there was a gubernatorial election in Vermont in which one of the candidates— the candidate who lost —supported increased gun control.” Panelists included Cassandra Crifasi, Johns Hopkins University assistant professor of public health, Michael Huemer, University of Colorado Boulder philosophy professor and Sanford V. Levinson, University of Texas Law School professor. Levinson focused his argument on the constitutional and historical aspects of the second amendment. Though the individual’s right to bear arms is protected by the constitution, the bulk of firearms legislation is left to the states, and most states have gun rights in their own constitutions, he said. “If you’re interested in firearms, find out what your state
constitution and state legislature says about it,” Levinson said. Levinson also raised concerns about how convicted felons are prohibited from owning guns, regardless of whether they committed a violent or non-violent offense, which he referred to as the “Martha Stewart problem”. Martha Stewart, a successful television personality, is unable to protect herself and her estate with a firearm. In 2004, Stewart was convicted of insider trading, Levinson said. Huemer spoke about the moral questions behind gun control during the forum. The debate in moral philosophy is whether you can limit rights in the name of the greater good, he said. “You shouldn’t frame an innocent person for a [high-profile] crime,” Huemer said, “but if killing one innocent person would stop a world war, maybe you should kill that one innocent person.” People should be allowed to be able to defend themselves with firearms, he said. Crifasi argued that gun control legislation does play a role in preventing gun-related crimes. After the state of Missouri repealed its law requiring people to have permits in order to purchase firearms, the number of firearms involved in violent crime that could be traced back to the state increased, she said. Crifasi, who has a concealed carry license in Maryland, said it doesn’t make sense to ban guns or have super-strict limitations on them.
Left to right: Sanford v. Levinson, Cassandra Crifasi and Michael Huemer discuss gun control Sept. 14 in the Davis Center Livak Ballroom. The discussion was organized by the Janus Forum, a UVM faculty group that organizes constructive debates over controversial issues. Sabrina Hood/The Vermont Cynic “We are in a country that is going to have guns,” she said. “We need to cultivate moderate gun owners and shift the culture war to a discussion about safety.” If you follow the rules of the land, you should be allowed to own guns, Crifasi said. The majority of Americans
agree that people have a right to bear arms but that there is also reason for some limitations, Levinson said. “I like to invoke Goldilocks,” he said. “We’re torn between the porridge that is too hot and the porridge that is too cold.” Senior Carolyn Hopkins at-
tended the debate because it was a requirement for one of her classes and because she found the material intriguing, she said. “It’s an interesting issue,” Hopkins said, “especially since we live in a state that has a lot of guns but very little gun violence.”

ne week ago, a member of our staff was at a small party on campus, drinking with eight of her friends in a residential hall. As the night went on, the group got rowdier. At 11 p.m. one of the party attendees, a sophomore with a car on campus, suggested the group drive downtown to look at Lake Champlain. The majority of the group was interested in heading downtown, but the member of our staff felt uncomfortable getting in the car. The sophomore who offered to drive had come to the party late, already tipsy. She was drinking beer and vodka when she volunteered to drive downtown. The member of our staff, fed up after years of watching members of her family drink and drive, stepped forward to say she wouldn’t join because the driver was risking her life, the lives of her friends and countless other drivers in Burlington. After she refused to get in the car, another woman stepped forward to say she wouldn’t join the group either. The driver, angry, repeated over and over that she was capable of driving. “I’m fine,” she said. “I’m fine.” One by one, members of the party decided not to get in the car. Eventually, the group decided to take an Uber in-
IZZY SIEDMAN stead. In April 2016, UVM soccer player Joseph Castano injured himself and killed his childhood friend while driving drunk. This week, after a UVM professor was charged with a DUI while a 3-year-old and a 6-year old in the car Aug. 31, we are reminded of the consequences of drinking and driving. We are reminded of the prevalence of driving while intoxicated within the UVM community. In 2015, 10,265 people died in alcohol-related car accidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The biggest group at risk of dying in one of those accidents? College students. Your friend leaving bars
downtown after a couple of drinks on a Tuesday? They’re in the age group most likely to be involved in a fatal alcohol-related car crash. Of the drivers with BAC levels of 0.08 percent or higher, about 28 percent were between the ages of 21 and 24, according to the Center for Disease Control. No matter how much programming UVM runs to educate students on the danger of drunk driving, no matter how many anti-drug initiatives local and federal government implement, the safety of our community ultimately depends on the ability of the individual. You must stand up when someone intoxicated tries to get behind the wheel. It’s that moment, when you’re faced with that “five minute drive home” that you
have to choose whether or not you want to put not only your life but other lives in danger. It’s that moment when you notice a guy at a College Street party walk out, keys in hand, after crushing a few PBRs that you need to intervene. Even if you feel uncomfortable, step forward. You have the potential to prevent tragedy. Staff editorials officially reflect the views of the Vermont Cynic. Signed opinion pieces and columns do not necessarily do so.

University treats FSL community unfairly Ian Nathan
“
Alpha Beta Chode” was chalked on the sidewalk outside of the Royall Tyler Theatre in spring 2017. This phrase targeted a population on campus, yet nobody spoke up about it. This University, for some time now, has pushed a hypocritical agenda that preaches awareness and respect, unless you’re a part of Fraternity and Sorority Life. The FSL community on campus has been attacked and targeted within recent years, yet the school does nothing. Students use school property to showcase a phrase that is meant to slander a whole community and what happens? Nothing. Following the Black Lives Matter flag case, a sorority woman and close friend of mine recalled her professor saying “all fraternities rape” without regard for the FSL members in the class. Nobody seemed to care. The class didn’t bat an eye and the students involved in FSL were afraid to speak in opposition of the professor to defend their organization. A fraternity member drinks, and the whole school is up in arms. We see a whole fraternity targeted because of one in-
HOLLY COUGHLAN
dividual taking a Black Lives Matter flag, even though the fraternity separated itself from the individual by kicking him out immediately. Yes, there were claims of hazing but, in that case, we should compare the incident to the men’s hockey team. A player gets hazed and those involved get a five-game suspension. A fraternity member is hazed and the organization is shut down. Do we not see the double standard? FSL holds a stigma that constitutes the acts of being treated differently.
Does this not raise the question of discrimination? Show me another organization of students that raise tens of thousands of dollars each year for charities. Now, show me an organization that doesn’t get commendation by the school it represents but gladly does it all over again the next year. FSL members don’t care about the slander. All they want is to be treated equally. Friends are stereotyped when wearing their letters, yet stereotyping is forbidden by the University – but the Uni-
versity is a hypocritical establishment that picks and chooses which organizations it wants to support. The administration has members who attend award ceremonies for SGA, IRA and affinity groups. Why do they not attend the FSL ceremonies? If you consider abandoning organizations as support, then FSL gets a great deal of support from this institution.

GENEVIEVE WINN
A nation divided leads to fear and violence
T
James Simpson
he 2016 presidential election seemed to be the peak of the political divide facing the American people. The level of violence that has risen from this divide wreaked havoc across the nation. Both sides of the political spectrum are to blame. From the right, we witnessed the horror in Charlottesville, Virginia where a white supremacist rammed his car into a group of protesters, kill-
ing one. From the left, the nation was stunned after the assassination attempt on a group of Republican congressmen by an anti-Trump fanatic. While these two examples highlight the deep divide in the U.S., there are many lower profile events that show how deep it runs. Ben Shapiro, founder of The Daily Wire, spoke at the University of California at Berkeley Sept. 14. In anticipation of the backlash the school has seen in response to conservative speak-
ers, the university erected concrete barriers surrounding the venue. Across the nation, so-called “antifascists” resort to violence at otherwise peaceful protests to shut down those whom they ironically call fascists. Mask-wearing Antifa members attacked peaceful rightwing demonstrators Aug. 28, according to the Washington Post. The level of polarization facing America today is deeply troubling. People on both sides of the political spectrum seem to be moving further
away from each other, leaving a shrinking group of those in the middle. Nothing constructive can come about when people engage in violence and refuse to listen to each other. To bridge this widening gap between the left and the right, people need to be willing to listen to each other and find common ground. President Donald Trump is demonstrating this right now by working with congressional Democrats and Republicans to come up with a plan to provide safeguards for DACA recipients
tied with increased border security. In response to viewpoints you may disagree with, use your speech to reach out to the other side and try to convince them. While it is not always possible to find a common ground with certain groups like white supremacists, unprovoked violence is never the answer. James Simpson is a junior political science major.

Why the University has a moral obligation to divest from TD bank
U
Keely Lyons
VM is helping build the Dakota Access Pipeline. UVM invests in three major banks: TD Bank, Citizens Bank and People’s United Bank. It is unclear how much money UVM invests in these banks. However, it is clear how much money these banks give to the companies responsible for constructing the DAPL. TD Securities gives $365 million to Dakota Access and Sunoco Logistics in project level loans and revolving credit. Citizen’s Bank gives $72.5 million to Sunoco Logistics in revolving credit, and U.S. Bank gives $275 million to Sunoco Logistics and Energy Transfer Partners in revolving credit, according to Food and Water Watch. Thus, UVM should divest immediately from TD Bank, Citizens Bank and U.S. Bank. The DAPL is a humanitarian and environmental disaster. Seventeen million people’s water faces risk of contamination, according to Dave Archambault II, chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. By investing in these banks, UVM endorses a crisis on the scale of Flint, Michigan. Investing in these three banks goes against the Univer-
SARAH STERN sity’s principles of social justice and environmentalism. How can we attract our generation’s future activists while funding this massive humanitarian crisis? How can we call ourselves the best place to study environmental science while funding a company that supports the fossil fuel industry? UVM must make a choice about whether it wants to be an
ethical institution that is dedicated to the success of all people, rather than only looking out for its own financial success. By allowing these banks on our campus, we disrespect the protestors at Standing Rock, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and all victims of pollution caused by the DAPL. By using TD Bank to help build our athletic complexes
and sponsor our athletes, we show our complacency regarding the violence against protesters. By investing in Citizens Bank, we say that we stand with the fossil fuel industry. When we keep U.S. Bank as our custodial bank, we say we are fine with our University contributing to anthropogenic climate change. UVM needs to divest now
from TD Bank, Citizens Bank and U.S. Bank in order to stop contributing to the DAPL. If UVM divests, students can be sure the University is committed to making the world a sustainable place.

burlington on tap Simple roots brewing
Healy Fallon Oddities Editor
ZEro Gravity
This past weekend was weirdly warm. We put our box fans and AC units halfway back in our windows and spent as much time on Leddy and North beach as daylight allowed. Come nighttime, we were still sweating, in search of the perfect ice-cold beer. Here are our staff’s local brew picks to keep you cool through these leftover nights of summer heat.
Planted right on Pine Street for imbibing pleasure, the Zero Gravity Brewery offers a selection of many appealing ales. In the spirit of state pride, you can’t skip over the crisp, drinkable Green State Lager. Though often commercially photographed near peaceful settings of rushing streams and pine trees, the lager faces turmoil. According to an unsatisfied user on the Rate Beer website, a user-driven alcohol review forum, the drink is “lightly bitter.”
Coming out of the Old North End, Simple Roots Brewing presents a tasteful, small menu of brews. Dan Ukolowicz and Kara Pawlusiak, a husband and wife team, package their product in 22 ounce bottles, according to their website. You can pick up the jumbo bottles in Chittenden County, Montpelier and Waterbury. Gose the Destructor is our pick from Simple Roots. It is pronounced Goes-uh. Uhhh.
the vermont pub and brewery Billy Buck Bock. The cryptic name is the key to understanding this complex, slightly spicy 7.9 percent lager. The term “maibock” is a type of highly alcoholic beer. Crafted in the mechanical fires of this classic College Street spot, the Billy Buck Bock, doesn’t kick as strongly as the high percentage would make you think. Billy and his friend Buck mellow out their crazy cousin Bock.

First, the year-round Single Chair, named after the single chair lift at the Mad River Glen ski area Fayston, Vermont. This malty golden ale smells like fresh bread and pairs well with with sharp cheddar. Enjoy! Just remember: don’t look down.

Music festival captures Burlington’s essence Kelsey Neubauer
H
igher Ground and Vermont singer-songwriter Grace Potter hosted the Grand Point North Festival for the sixth year in a row. GPN is an annual celebration of local arts and music. An essential part of the UVM bucket list, it is the ultimate fusion of Burlington and the creative academia that surrounds her, mixed with a distinct and diverse local music scene. The festival was held Sept. 16 and 17 at Burlington Waterfront Park. Here are details about the artists who were there this year: Grace Potter Potter, a founder of the festival, is a folk pop artist from Waitsfield, Vermont. Her last album release was in 2015 and drew more from pop and rock than ever before. She started the festival alongside Higher Ground to support local arts. Over five years later, Potter has come home to play during both nights of GPN. Trey Anastasio Band Trey Anastasio has musical roots at UVM. He founded the rock band Phish 20 years ago in the Harris-Millis Dining Hall. Phish became an international sensation in the decades after their UVM conception. They garnered a cult-like fan base with their improvised jam style. Ben & Jerry’s even has an ice cream flavor named af-
ter them, properly titled Phish Food. Anastasio set his sights on more experimental solo projects after the band broke up in 2004. Anastasio’s most recent album draws much of its inspiration from sounds of the Grateful Dead, according to the band’s Spotify biography. Mondo Cozmo Currently on a national tour, Josh Ostrander, who goes by his stage name Mondo Cozmo, is an indie rock artist from Philadelphia. His newest album “Plastic Soul,” which came out in August, explores the use of electronic vocals within folk music. He combines acoustic and electronic music to create a syncopated and distinctly con-
temporary sound while maintaining the geist of folk. Eastern Mountain Time This folk trio recorded their latest music in a Burlington bedroom. They are wholesome Vermont folk - like the type of music to listen to on those rainy, cold days on the way home from a hike up Camel’s Hump sometime in late fall, heat blaring and feet frozen. They have played at local venues Monkey House, Radio Bean and ArtsRiot. Their new album “Mountain Country” will come out Nov. 11. Kelsey Neubauer is a senior English major.

Accomplished poet shares his story in guest lecture Bridget Higdon The sun sparkled through the intricate stained glass of Old Mill’s John Dewey Lounge Friday as students and faculty gathered for an hour with an accomplished poet. David Lehman, an acclaimed American writer and editor who has published numerous collections of poetry, visited UVM Sept. 15. His lecture was followed by a question and answer session. English professor Major Jackson coordinated the event. “I am always looking for opportunities to extend the classroom experience by exposing students to people who live a life of passion,” Jackson said. “This is what we should be doing in academia.” In his introduction, Jackson called Lehman a man who “made a career out of being curious.” Lehman, wearing navy blue suspenders and dark-rimmed glasses, smiled widely as he explained that his talk would chronicle how, as a poet, he “lived and learned to earn a living.” He began his story by bringing the audience back to the year 1966. “My parents thought I would go to law school or study business,” Lehman said, but after his first four months at Columbia University, he declared himself an English major. “I was writing a poem a day and had become completely intoxicated,” he said. Lehman said it is not a bad idea to study English. “You will be of value to every institution because you can grapple with major issues and can write succinct, beautiful prose,” he said. After leaving academia,
Lehman began a career in journalism at Newsweek, he said. With a note of wistfulness in his voice, Lehman said that he had found a romance in journalism. The workings of the newsroom and its 2 a.m. phone calls fascinated him, he said. Through telling many anecdotes, Lehman said the valuable experience he gained while at Newsweek. “I learned how to write fast and on a deadline,” Lehman said. “Now, I can write 1,000 words in an hour.” He came up with the idea for one of his most popular piece, “The Best American Poetry” anthology, while driving a car Aug. 1, 1987, he said. Soon after “The Best American Poetry” was picked up by a publisher, Lehman was able to leave his job at Newsweek to become an editor and poet full time, he said. “I had previously associated poetry with failure,” Lehman said. But, since 1988, the anthology has been published annually. It includes 75 poems curated by a guest editor, according to the American Academy of Poets website. Lehman’s wit and character had the audience laughing throughout the lecture. Chuckles erupted when Lehman did impressions of his friend John Ashbery, an acclaimed poet who died Sept. 7. Ashbery was the first guest editor of “The Best American Poetry.” He concluded his lecture by giving some advice to the poets in the audience. “Somebody else is going to get the recognition you deserved,” Lehman said. “That’s going to happen as sure as night and day.”
Poet Dave Lehman signs a copy of his poetry collection “Poems in the Manner of...” Sept. 15 in the John Dewey Lounge. He came to UVM through the English deparment’s Painted Word Poetry Series. ERIKA B. LEWY/The Vermont Cynic He urged the audience to remember why they pursue poetry in the first place. “You pursue poetry because you love it, not to win awards,” Lehman said. “Envy will kill your poetry.”
Senior Stephen Indrisano attended the event because “poetry is such a condensed form, and I am always interested in seeing the literary personality behind it,” he said. Lehman is certainly a lit-
erary personality: a man who, with curiosity and deep passion for his craft, proved that a successful literary life is entirely possible.

Local chefs rival for spot on food truck fleet Tour de Taste Alex Shannon
I
t’s hard to imagine UVM’s University Place road without a midday fleet of food trucks. The aromas of dumplings, cheeseburgers, tacos, kabobs and breakfast sandwiches permeate the air surrounding University Place. During each 20-minute period between classes, the scents of international and local fare attract lines of students along the sidewalk. Lap Ninh, the owner of the Lucky Chinese Food food truck, said he has some customers who come to his truck almost every day. “I like working with students,” Ninh said. “You get to talk to people and have relationships; it’s like a family.” His truck has been parked on University Place for 25 years, Ninh said. The city of Burlington controls the distribution of permits for food trucks on University Place and keeps a wait list for interested truck owners, according to a July 2016 Seven Days article. There are only seven spots available at once. The application process includes a variety of requirements such as a background check, proof of registration and insurance and a $400 fee, according to the article.
Some vendors have waited for University Place for over five years, like William Mitchell, owner of the barbecue truck All Fired Up. “I was on a list for six years to get up here, and once you get up here, you don’t leave,” Mitchell said. He said every food truck owner has to apply through the City of Burlington for a prime place on the road. “It’s just a matter of when your number comes up,” Mitchell said. Although only in his second season at UVM, Mitchell has also developed a strong customer base, he said. Senior Samantha Frankel is a regular at All Fired Up and tries to go four out of the five school days to Mitchell’s spot, she said. “I would choose a favorite [food], but I love them all,” Frankel said. “I can’t explain it, it’s just something you have to try for yourself.” Farmers and Foragers, the newest food truck on campus, waited for a spot for over two years until a spot opened up in July, said Solomon Bayer-Pacht, co-founder of the local organic food truck. “This is our third season and we just finished preparing our second truck as well, so the timing was great,” Bayer-Pacht said. “We’ve been on the wait list here at UVM since we opened up.

“We opened in April 2015 and going into that season we put ourselves on the waitlist.” The food trucks on campus are a reflection of the passionate and talented businesses and people in the Burlington
community. The food truck owners not only offer eclectic and delicious food options, but also work hard to establish relationships with their customers on campus.

Is recycling a priority at UVM? Erin Powell Cynic Correspondent The slogan for saving the planet is “reduce, reuse, recycle” — not “dispose, dump, degrade.” UVM is recognized for its commitment to preserving the environment. However, despite the faculty’s best efforts, recycling just isn’t a priority for all UVM students. Some students, like firstyear Caeli Rice, came to school with good waste disposal habits. “At my house, we recycle everything; it’s just so ingrained in me,” Rice said. “I don’t think everyone is as conscientious as my roommate and I. “I see people on my hall just tossing everything in the trash. It’s really annoying when people don’t recycle stuff that is obviously recyclable.” Not everyone was lucky enough to start school with eco-friendly knowledge. “In my hometown, we don’t have the best recycling program, so recycling isn’t my first thought,” first-year Emily Schwartz said. Dining halls have large compost bins for students to dispose of food waste. “I got used to composting after I eat, which I never did back home, but there hasn’t been the same push to recycle,” Schwartz said. 9/5/17 7:42 PM

“I try my best; my roommate and I try to recycle everything we can,” first-year Rachel Gubar said. “Recycling makes the world a better place.” But recycling can be an extra step many students are undermotivated to take, Gubar said. “It can be a bit of an inconvenience because my room isn’t near the trash room,” she said. “As the year progresses and I get more stressed, I might not think about it as much, and my recycling habits might decline.” With one look into any
on-campus residence, one can see how the difficulty of sorting waste is aggravated by the presence of a school-provided recycling bin for each room, yet nothing for trash. “Neither my roommate nor I brought our own trash can, so we just throw everything in the one given to us,” first-year Stella Cunningham said. “I just threw away a big bag of stuff, I don’t even know what was in it.” Many students’ care for the environment encourages them to adopt the attitude of first-year Logan Zandri. “Heck yeah, I recycle, bro,” he said.

Beekeepers’ garden builds ecological buzz Isabella Alessandrini Staff Writer Amid all the construction on campus, honeybees are working on building a place of their own in UVM’s first apiary, the official name for bee yard. The pollinator-friendly garden sprouted up this August in the lush space between the Catholic Center and University Heights South. This new apiary is the triumph of a two-year-long effort by the UVM Beekeepers club. The idea for the apiary originated with a UVM alumna, said the Beekeepers president, senior Peter Chlebowski. He said he and faculty hive mentor Steve Flemor set the plan in motion with the help of generous donations from the community. For a club that’s only been SGA recognized for a little over a year, its impacts on campus have surprised the faculty adviser and plant and soil science professor, Mark Starrett. “The growth of the club has been pretty amazing,” Starrett said. “In just a few months we went from having zero members to hundreds.” The Beekeepers’ iconic tiedye stickers decorate dozens of Nalgenes, laptops and doors all over campus. Its Listserv includes 842 members, Chlebowski said.
UVM has been certified as the first Bee Campus in New England and the 17th in the U.S., Starrett said. They’ve generated quite a lot of interest, but the question remains: what’s all the buzz about? “Besides making honey, bees are huge,” Starrett said. “Most of the things you find in the produce aisle are not going to be there without pollinators.” Fresh honey, organic chapsticks and other cooking products aren’t the only reasons the bees are booming. “I think bees have become a mascot for the sustainability movement because they’re cute and they’re fuzzy and they are responsible for so much of what we have,” junior Ben Kotzen said. Kotzen joined the Beekeepers last fall in an effort to learn more about Vermont culture, he said. In fact, they are such a big part of Vermont culture that although honeybees aren’t native to North America, they’re the state insect of Vermont, according to statesymbolsusa. org. Bees have also seeped their way into social media campaigns through prominent hashtags #SaveTheBees and Kellogg’s Cheerios’ #BringBacktheBees.
To the horror of environmental activists, bee populations have plummeted in recent years as a result of colony collapse disorder. It is a phenomenon that causes swarms of bees to desert their hives and disappear, Starrett said. Colony collapse disorder is brought on by a variety of causes, including the use of pesticides like neonictinoid, commercial transportation and extreme weather patterns, he said. “All of these things together stress [the bees] out and weaken their immune systems,” Starrett said. Thanks to the spread of awareness about the crisis, neonicotinoid use has been severely restricted in the U.S. and researchers are working tirelessly to find solutions, he said. According to an Aug 2017 Time article, efforts like this and organizations like the UVM Beekeepers have resulted in “the number of commercial U.S. honeybee colonies rising by 3 percent” this year. UVM has the potential to contribute to the research now that the apiary has been established, Chlebowski said. This is UVM’s apiary and, “now that it’s here, it’s here to stay,” he said.

Students personalize dorm rooms to feel like home Stephanie Hodel Cynic Correspondent Arriving at UVM, students are housed in a 12-by-15 foot box. The concrete and plaster walls aren’t what makes those boxes feel special – it’s the decor. Sometimes, students may feel homesick when they come to college, no matter what year they are. Decorating a dorm can make students feel like they have a piece of home with them at school, as well as help them express a unique style. Through decorating, students can express their individuality in one of their most frequently-visited locations: their dorms. Whether the purchase is a trending salt rock lamp from Amazon.com, a geometric carpet from Ikea or posters from RedBubble, it is completely up to the student. Students also tend to add decor to their dorms throughout the year. Church Street is home to many shops including EarthBound and Homeport, where students can find everything froom tapestries to art. Whether online or on the street, decor is everywhere. “Shout out to Society6 because that’s where all our tapestries come from,” sophomore Aryanna Ramsaran said. Ramsaran and her roommate have four tapestries in their room. Her dorm acccesories came from Bed Bath & Beyond and Target she said–

On her walls is an orchid purple mandala tapestry surrounded by twinkling lights. “I love my tapestry because it’s big and covers half the wall,” Bittner said. “You’ve only got to buy one, whereas with posters you have to buy, like, 10.” Another wall features twine hung up in five rows, each dangling photographs. The pictures of friends and family remind her of home, she said. Most students decorate to enhance their feeling of comfort in the space and its likeness to home. Such an important endeavor sometimes calls for a little bending of the rules. Candles to achieve their favorite aroma, tapestries and

Field hockey snags win agaisnt Dartmouth Nickie Morris Sports Writer On Friday afternoon, women’s field hockey secured their third win this season with a dominant 5-2 win against Dartmouth College. First-year forward Sydney Melfi opened the game with her first goal of the season, followed quickly by a Dartmouth goal.
Each team scored one more goal before the end of the half. “We played for the whole 70 minutes today with no lapses on defense, but really came together at the half,” senior goalkeeper Lena Benwood said. Following halftime, the Catamounts’ goalscoring leader, junior forward Landon Warren, scored two unassisted goals within six minutes of each other, giving Vermont a strong
lead. Junior forward Jackie Gillen rounded out the game with a goal in the 50th minute, determining the final score. It was the first time the Catamounts beat Dartmouth in head coach Kate Pfeifer’s threeyear tenure with the team. “There definitely seems to be a Vermont-New Hampshire rivalry with Dartmouth from year to year, but we came out
on top today and we came out with confidence for the rest of the season,” Pfeifer said. This is Vermont’s only game of the season against Dartmouth, but the Catamounts will play the University of New Hampshire two more times before the playoffs. The win brings the team to a 3-3 record so far this season, putting them in a three-way tie for third place in the competi-
tive eastern division. The next women’s field hockey game is Sept. 19 against the College of the Holy Cross at Moulton Winder Field. Following the game, the Catamounts will head onto the road for three games before returning home Oct. 1 to oppose the nationally-ranked University at Albany.
Women’s soccer only gets one point after two games Madeleine Allen Sports Writer The women’s soccer team was only able to come out with one point from two games this week. The women’s soccer team fought to a 1-1 draw against Marist College Sept. 12 at Virtue Field before losing 2-0 to Central Connecticut State University Sept. 15. The Catamounts now have a record of 4-3-1. The game against Marist was the team’s fifth in a row that went into overtime. The Red Foxes struck first two minutes into the game, taking the lead with a goal by senior midfielder Erica Crosier off of an assist by first-year forward Annika Nielsen. “It’s really hard to go down in the [first two] minutes of the game,” junior captain Brooke Jenkins said. Following the early goal by the Red Foxes, the Catamounts had many chances and outshot their opponent 5-2 in the first half but were unable to score. “We had a couple good chances, we just have to put away our chances there,” Jenkins said. The Catamounts were able to tie the game in the 72nd

minute of the game with a goal by Jenkins, who was assisted by senior co-captain Sarah Martin. “I kind of just tried to get anything I could on it,” Jenkins said. “ I [just] tried to flick it back post and it went in which is awesome.” A bright spot for the Catamounts was the performance of senior goalkeeper Coco Speckmaier, who had many saves following the early goal.
“Coco played excellent today; she came up with a lot of big saves,” head coach Kristi Lefebvre said. “She was great on set pieces, which we knew was a big threat from them.” Both Jenkins and Lefebvre said the team was tired following a stretch of three games in the last six days, all of which went into overtime. “We’re pretty exhausted,” Lefebvre said. “We have definitely accumulated some of
those overtime games and stretched some of our starters pretty far.” Despite the long game and many overtimes, Jenkins said that she was proud of her team for digging deep to pull out the draw. Three days later, the Catamounts were outplayed and lost 2-0 at Central Connecticut State. Speckmaier made eight saves, but the team’s attacking
output was nonexistent. They were only able to attempt one shot on target, while Central Connecticut State attempted 16 shots. The team faces more games on the road coming up before returning to Virtue Field Sept. 28. “The travel sometimes sucks; sometimes you are sitting there for a long time,” Jenkins said. “[But] our team is so close this year, which is a huge positive for us going forward.” Seven games into the season, the Catamounts are 4-3-1 and have one more game before the start of conference play for America East. “We have learned a lot of lessons along the way, thankfully some that haven’t cost us games,” Lefebvre said. “We are definitely happy with our start.” The team has some areas they would like to improve before the start of Conference play, Jenkins said. “We have been doing a lot of stuff on speed of play in front of the goal,” she said. “Getting a good shot off, that kind of thing.” The Catamounts play University of New Hampshire at 7 p.m. Sept. 28 at Virtue Field.

Pro athletes donate to Harvey victims Greg Mandozzi
I
t is no secret that Texas has been devastated by the wrath of Hurricane Harvey. The sports world has been shaken up by the recent weather as well. Games have been canceled, practices have been postponed and athletes’ schedules have been thrown into a frenzy. However, athletes understand that Harvey has affected not only them, but also the people of Texas. One hometown athlete has come to the forefront of relief efforts. Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt has been digging into his pockets to try and make a positive impact. With an initial goal of $500,000 to be raised, Watt and his donations have exceeded this goal. More than $37 million have been donated by Watt and his foundation, according to a Sept. 16 SB Nation article. Other athletes and sports figures have answered the cry for help, too. Matching donations from Texans owner Bob McNair and the NFL foundation raised $2 million, according to an Aug. 28 CBS Sports article. Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones contributed $3 million. Players like Kobe Bryant, Ezekiel Elliott and Brian Cush-
