University Stews Over Responses to Case of Sexual Harassment

Hundreds of members of the Princeton University community have been gathering this week in town hall meetings organized by the Faculty-Student Committee on Sexual Misconduct and the Title IX Office, responding with widespread frustration and criticism to the University’s handling of a sexual harassment case involving a distinguished electrical engineering professor. Eugene Higgins Professor of Electrical Engineering Sergio Verdu was found guilty in June, after a Title IX investigation, of sexually harassing one of his graduate students, Yeohee Im. A November 9 Huffington Post article (“Grad Student Says Princeton Prof who Sexually Harassed Her Was Given Slap On the Wrist”) reported that Verdu’s only punishment was an eight-hour training session. Verdu, according to the Huffington Post article, had invited Im to his house to watch a movie with sexually explicit scenes, and had touched her upper thigh and stomach during the movie. Following publication of that article, Continued on Page 11

DACA Rally Brings Crowd to Hinds Plaza About 200 people rallied in Hinds Plaza outside the Princeton Public Library at noon yesterday, loudly voicing support for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients and calling on Congress to pass the DREAM Act by December 8. Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests earlier in the morning on Witherspoon and John Streets provided a certain urgency and sobering context to the proceedings, but did not dampen the enthusiasm of the participants. Princeton Police Chief Nicholas Sutter reported that he was informed of the ICE action after the fact, but the Princeton Police Department was not involved and was provided with few details. Leticia Fraga, newly-elected Princeton Council member and Latin American Legal Defense Fund (LALDEF) board chair, said she received a panicked phone call from a local resident early Tuesday morning. She noted that she thought there were four individuals arrested, only one for whom there was a warrant. She urged residents to acquire Community ID cards. Further details of the raid were not

available at press time from the local police or Human Services Department, or from ICE. In the rally titled “Hands Around Princeton in Support of a Clean DREAM Act,” sponsored by LALDEF and an array of local community organizations and faithbased institutions, Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert, newly-elected Assemblyman Roy Freiman, Nassau Presbyterian Church Pastor David Davis, LALDEF Executive Director Adriana Abizadeh, and a 24-year-old DACA recipient all called upon enthusiastic demonstrators to urge Congress to pass a clean DREAM Act that would provide a pathway to citizenship for recipients of DACA without expanding funding for immigration enforcement. Carrying an array of signs supporting DREAMers—“No Hate, No Fear, Dreamers are Welcome Here,” “Keep Calm and Love DACA — #Here to Stay,” and many others — the crowd marched from Hinds Plaza up Witherspoon Street, through Palmer Square, and back to Hinds Plaza to listen to the speakers. The marchers called out a variety of chants as they marched, including “When DREAMers are under attack, what do we do? Stand

up, fight back!” and “Money for jobs and education, not for mass deportations!” Lempert asked the crowd a series of questions, with the supportive crowd chiming in at appropriate points. “What are our values? What do we stand for?” she asked. “Do we want to be the kind of country that kicks out hopeful young strivers? Do we want policies rooted in fear and cruelty? Or Continued on Page 10

POWER OF TECHNOLOGY: Princeton Academy eighth-grader Chase Quijano, holding two prosthetic limbs he built, took the lead in organizing a Build-A-Thon that will take place at Princeton Academy on Sunday, December 3 from noon to 3 p.m. to use 3D printers to help create prosthetic limbs.

Shay. “Chase is including other students to print parts, organize components, fundraise, and help him run the event.” Shay commented further on the project. “In a time when technology is so often blamed for a decline in empathy, it is wonderful to see students using 3D printers to meet a real-world need and benefit other children,” he added. “We can only hope that they continue to think critically about how they can use technology to benefit others and solve real problems in our world.” The Princeton Academy Build-A-Thon, a community event for families, sports te a m s, s cout s, s cho ols, clubs, and individuals, hopes to assemble 100 prosthetic hands and arms. Purchasing prosthetic limbs for a growing child can be a huge financial burden for some families, and 3D printing is helping to ease this financial burden.

Pr inceton native Brad Borkan will return to Princeton Senior Resource Center (PSRC) on December 4 at 11 a.m. to share newly selected historic photographs from the early Antarctic explorers. Author of the book, When Your Life Depends On It: Extreme Decision-Making Lessons from the Antarctic, Borkan’s immersion in the lives and exploits of the early explorers began in his youth at the Princeton Public Library. In the years since, Borkan has participated in numerous Antarctic conferences, garnering an abiding appreciation for the brave early explorers of the unknown territory — Ernest Shackleton, Robert Scott, Roald Amundsen, and Douglas Mawson — and the extraordinary challenges they encountered on their journeys. Borkan gave a first look at these explorers in a talk at PSRC last March. This presentation will delve further into some of the most incredible feats of survival imaginable, both in Shackleton’s intrepid Endurance Expedition, and the rarely told story of the Ross Sea party. Borkan will present historic photographs to accompany the talk. A graduate of Princeton High School, Borkan attended the University of Pennsylvania, Imperial College in London, and has a graduate degree in decision sciences from the Wharton School. He lives with his wife and daughter in London, where he has spent more than 20 years working at leading software companies focused on helping large business enterprises improve their decision processes. The book is coauthored with David Hirzel, a California-based Antarctic historian and writer. The event will take place at the Suzanne Patterson Building. There is a suggested donation of $15 to benefit the PSRC. Attendees are asked to register in advance at princetonsenior.org.

When considering speakers for the fourth annual Kenneth and Audrey Gould Lecture at Princeton Public Library, Audrey Gould had a feeling that Harold T. Shapiro, former president of Princeton University, would be a perfect fit. The lecture series is given in honor of Kenneth Gould, who died three years ago. A psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, Gould knew Shapiro, who was president of the University from 1988 to 2001. Currently, Shapiro is a member of the executive committee and associated faculty of the Princeton Environmental Institute Center for Environmental Research, Education, and Outreach. “Dr. Gould would have been very much interested and affected by what is going on with the environment, especially in regard to children. So I know he would have approved,” said Audrey Gould. She invited Shapiro to speak, and he agreed. His talk, “The Environment: Understanding the Nature of The Challenge,” is Sunday, December 10 in the library’s Community Room. “He is a wonderful teacher and speaker and his topic is very relevant,” Gould said. Shapiro was Princeton University’s 18th president. He earned a PhD at Princeton in 1964. He returned after serving on the faculty of the University of Michigan for 24 years, and as its president from 1980 to 1988. His fields of special interest include econometrics, mathematical economics, science policy, the evolution of higher education as a social institution, and bioethics. The Goulds had previously endowed an annual lecture series at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical

School, where Kenneth Gould was a professor of clinical psychiatry. The couple also sponsored lectures at the New York University School of Medicine, where he earned his medical degree. In addition to being a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, Kenneth Gould was also a pediatrician. Previous topics for the Princeton lecture series have focused on the wellbeing of children. Dr. Benedict Carey delivered the inaugural lecture of the series just a few months before Gould died in December 2014. A financial analyst and a library trustee, Audrey Gould established the lecture series with her husband and their daughters, Ellen Gould Baber and Georgeanne Gould Moss. “We wanted to have a tribute to his life’s work,” she said. “That was the real impetus. He was with us but no longer able to practice medicine. He liked the idea that there would be a lecture series right in town.” The family has also dedicated two rooms in the library — one in memory of Kenneth Gould; the other in memor y of son-in-law Charles Baber, who died in 2012. “The library is the center of the town,” Gould said. “It offers the community an extraordinary array of services, and it is an inspiration for people who want to learn. I really am so grateful that it’s here.” Shapiro’s talk is at 1 p.m. on Sunday, December 10. Visit www.princetonlibrary. org for more information. —Anne Levin

Happy Holidays

Salvation Army Campaign At Area Train Stations

The Salvation Army’s New Jersey’s Third Annual Kettle Kick-Off began on Tuesday, November 28. It is known as Giving Tuesday, with Red Kettle stands at New Jersey train stations including the Trenton Transit Center and Hamilton. Trenton City Mayor Eric E . Jackson and Trenton Thunder mascot Boomer were on hand at the Trenton station. Morning commuters at Newark Penn Station and Secaucus Junction also saw the Red Kettle stands. The goal is to raise $1.9 million. Funds collected during the campaign will provide for fam ilies and indiv iduals across the state during the holiday season and yearround, sustaining the programs and ser vices from The Salvation Army that help people in need manage their daily lives. “Many families are still finding it nearly impossible to stay afloat financially, and we’ve seen it firsthand in the increasing number of New Jersey residents who come to us for help,” says Major Ivan K. Rock, State Commander of The Salvation Army in New Jersey. “The Red Kettle Campaign is integral to the lives of many New Jersey residents, and is made possible in conjunction with our Platinum sponsors, Pr udential Financial, Contura Energy, and LENNAR as well as all the other companies and indiv iduals who suppor t our mission to transform the lives of those in need in our state.” Last year, 708,884 individuals in New Jersey received assistance from The Salvation Army, which included holiday and seasonal assistance, food pantry, soup kitchens, after-school programs, emergency shelter and much more. Additionally, The Salvation Army served over one million hot meals statewide last year. Ket tle stands are now at various retailers, malls, and grocer y stores until Christmas Eve. To make a donation to The Salvation Army in New Jersey, text NJKET TLE to 41444. To make a gift, send checks to: The Salvation Army 575 E. State Street, Trenton, NJ 08609.

Dr. Robert Selig, an expert on Rochambeau, will be giving a presentation on the comte de Rochambeau and the French expeditionary force he led through Princeton in August 1781 to help the Continental Army capture Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown. The allied forces united just north of Princeton, followed by the encampment of Rochambeau’s army of 5,000 men on the grounds of Morven, August 29-31, 1781. The following summer, Rochambeau and his army marched back through Princeton from Virginia, receiving resounding applause as they marched.

do we want to be a country that treats our young people the way we want our own kids to be treated?” She continued, “Do we want a strong, healthy economy that lifts all boats? Do we want to uphold the values of a welcoming spirit? Do we want to protect our DR E A Mers? ” She added that in Princeton “we’ve made a commitment to be a welcoming community. We want every resident to feel supported. We’ve been working hard to build bonds of trust, and we will continue those efforts.” She concluded by urging Congress “to lead with moral courage and pragmatism and pass the bipartisan DREAM Act.” Last week immigrant youth hunger strikers, under the auspices of LALDEF, visited New Jersey congressional offices during the congressional recess to stage rallies in support of the Clean DREAM Act: last Monday at Rep. Chris Smith’s office in Hamilton, Tuesday at Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen’s office in Morristown, Wednesday at the office of Rep. Frank LoBiondo in Mays Landing, and Thursday at the office of Rep. Leonard

Lance in Clinton. O n S epte mb er 5, t h e Trump administration announced that the DACA program, providing protective status to some 800,000 immigrants known as DREAMers, would end by March 5, 2018, put t i ng t hos e DREAMers in jeopardy of losing their worker permits and making them vulnerable to deportation. Trump urged Congress to pass legislation that could allow people here illegally to stay, but DACA legislation does not seem to be a priority for congressional action in the final month of this year despite pledges of Democratic leaders and unanimous support of Democrats in Congress. The Hinds Plaza supporters of the DREAM Act and activists in other parts of the country, however, are determined to bring the issue to the top of Congress’s priority list. Noting the plight of “8 0 0,0 0 0 you ng ad u lt s whose lives are woven into the fabric of the country,” LALDEF has written, “We are calling on Congress to pass a clean DREAM Act that restores protections, provides legal status, and allows a pathway to citizenship.” —Donald Gilpin

communities across the country have committed themselves to supporting the accord on a local basis. Princeton Council passed a resolution in support of the agreement and that committed to development of a Climate Action Plan as part of its 2017 goals and priorities. A summit of mayors from across the country will be held December 4-5 in Chicago. While expressing support for the Paris agreement, Council members Jo Butler and Bernie Miller said they had concerns about just what support of the North America Climate Summit Charter would mean for Princeton. “We would be signing on without really looking at the cost analysis,” said Butler. “We have not considered the financial considerations very closely. I worry about making these commitments as a small town. It seems to prioritize above many things that are of concern to our citizens.” Miller added, “Once again, it is a case of the federal government abdicating its responsibility and looking to the states and municipalities to pick up the ball and run with it. While we can do many good things, we need to be cautious about what we are committing to. We put our name on the document and it becomes a moral commitment to fulfill what is in that document.” Councilwoman Heather Howard said that while she understood her colleagues’ concerns, it would violate her conscience if the governing body did not vote to support the measure. “I don’t see a

single thing here I wouldn’t stand up for,” she said of the information Mayor Liz Lempert issued to Council members. Councilwoman Jenny Crumiller said she felt comfortable with voting for the resolution. “I think symbolic things like this are really important,” she said. “It says each municipality can set their own goals. There is nothing specific with times or dates.” Crumiller and Councilman Tim Quinn likened it to the town’s Master Plan, where some lofty goals might not always be possible to attain. “It’s aspirational and a framework that captures a lot of what we’re already doing, and it urges us to do more when we can possibly do so,” Quinn said. Lempert said, “There is something more powerful in lots of communities getting together to do something together,” she said. “We’ve seen over the past year that it can imbue more meaning and power to what you’re doing if you do it in conjunction with other communities.” Molly Jones, director of Sustainable Princeton, expressed the organization’s support of the resolution. “They give you a lot of room to figure out the cost effective, realistic ways our community can attain the goals articulated here,” she said. “We encourage and support your signing of the charter.” —Anne Levin

Sexual Harassment continued from page one

the response on campus was strong and widespread, with many calling for sterner punishment and a more transparent, thorough University response. Vice Provost for Institutional Equity and Diversity Michele Minter said that privacy constraints prohibited her from commenting on the case, but that there are always punishments invisible to the University community and that training is never the only penalty in these kinds of cases. On November 16 a petition signed by more than 700 undergraduates, graduate students, and alumni was delivered to University President Christopher Eisgruber and the administration calling for more stringent punitive action. “We ask that the University elevate its disciplinary actions against Professor Verdu and firmly establish that sexual harassment will not be tolerated in our community,” the petition read. The petition also criticized the “opaque” handling of the case, urging the administration “to reconsider the University’s decision in this matter, and to deliver a punishment that is proportionate to the damage Professor Verdu’s victim has endured.” School of Engineering Dean Emily Carter, who sent out a statement to the community last week on the issue of sexual harassment, indicated that improvements to the process of investigating Title IX inquiries and sexual harassment complaints might be in the works. Commenting on Monday’s town hall meeting, she said,

The Area’s Premier 55+

“I was pleased that the attendance was high and that everyone had a chance to ask questions, offer suggestions for potential process improvements, and to hear clear answers to their questions. The administration is being very responsive and will be considering process improvements in coming months.” Carter’s November 20 statement to the community stated that “such abuse of power, whether it be what this victim endured or other forms of unacceptable behavior, including unethical actions, derails us from our mission in myriad ways …. This type of behavior has absolutely no place in our community.” Minter, in a letter to The Daily Princetonian student newspaper, noted “concerns about the University’s sexual misconduct policy and processes, including questions about their transparency.” She added, “We have begun a review of our policy and processes, and are considering whether changes are necessary to ensure that they are as transparent and fair as possible to all members of our community.” Nineteen members of the electrical engineering faculty also weighed in in a letter to the editor of The Daily Princetonian on Monday, expressing “anger, concern, and frustration,” calling for stronger University processes, and stating, “We have no tolerance for such behavior and condemn it in the strongest possible terms.” Electrical Engineering Professor Andrew Houck called for sterner measures. Also writing in The Daily Princetonian, he said, “We must adopt a zero tolerance policy,

where violation equals termination. Following the news in recent weeks, we can see that the world is rife with unreported or unpublished sexual misconduct, particularly in fields where one person has the power to act as a gatekeeper.” —Donald Gilpin

Artis Senior Living Celebrates Grand Opening

A r tis S enior Liv ing in Princeton Junction is opening a memory care community. A grand opening for professionals in the health care industry is January 18 from 3-6 p.m. Artis President and CEO Don Feltman will host a ribbon cutting ceremony alongside town officials at 4 p.m. On January 21, area residents are invited to a community grand opening from noon-3 p.m. “We are excited for the grand opening of our second memory care residence in New Jersey and are humbled by the warm welcome we’ve received from the Princeton Junction neighborhood and surrounding area. We feel privileged to be setting a new bar in quality care for seniors affected by Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia,” said Feltman.

The new 64-suite residence will be a two-story, freestanding memory care community comprised of four neighborhoods — Palmer Square, Prospect House, Mercer Lake, and Grover’s Mill — that create an intimate environment with familiar living spaces. Each level of the community includes a central core, known as the “Town Center” flanked by two distinct “neighborhoods” that serve as intimate living spaces. The Town Centers feature a neighborhood center for community gatherings and a studio for activities on the first floor, a health center, beauty and barber shop, spa, café, and gallery on the second floor. The new residence is designed to enhance residents’ cognition and quality of life by creating a home environment that is both nurturing and comfortable. The design features include smallerscale spaces, residential finishes, and the use of themes for cueing and location recognition. The new community will mark Artis’s 10th residence.

ers participating on a crisp fall morning. over $30,000 was raised to support our programs, which include an early intervention program, a preschool, a K-12 school, adult life and job skills programs, and group residences. We could not have done this without the support of numerous organizations. Mercer County Parks Commission allowed us the use of their beautiful trail system. We were flooded with volunteers from Rider university, The College of new Jersey, L’oréal, Apple, Trenton Elks Lodge and many other groups. Let Me Run, a nonprofit running program for fourth through eighth grade boys, sent a large number of participants to our event. Several vendors, including REI, Starbucks, the Gingered Peach, Eastern Mountain Sports, and Centercourt, provided food, drinks, and entertainment. Even the Philadelphia Eagles cheerleaders attended to add excitement to the race kickoff. Meadows Miler was a chance for many of our students and former students to take part in their first run. over 20 people with autism, both children and adults, enthusiastically participated with their families or with our PCDI staff. Most importantly, Meadows Miler provided evidence that when nonprofit and for-profit companies work together for the common good, anything is possible. We thank all of our participants, our volunteers, and the Mercer Meadows Park Commission for their support. Together, we not only made this inaugural run a success, we also raised awareness of autism and the amazing potential of children and adults with autism. PATRICK R.

Asking Why Town Officials Extended Parking Study to Include Tree Streets

To the Editor: We have listened for decades to Princeton’s downtown merchants complain about a lack of parking space in spite of efforts by the town that actually increased the number of spaces in the business district. now we learn from an excellent parking study that the demand can be met by better utilization and management of existing spaces of which there are a surplus. But that does not explain why officials extended the study to include residential-zoned areas such as the Tree Streets where there are no businesses. Maps used in the study name an elongated stretch from Moore to Linden between hamilton and nassau as part of the downtown business district. This area is a distinct neighborhood of homes, some of them more than 100 years old. has the Planning Board targeted the Tree Streets for rezoning to mixed use to allow businesses in a residential neighborhood? That could be done with a decision to put parking meters on Maple Street or any other street and need rezoning to do. This would not increase parking spaces. But it does look like part of the plan to transform the village of Princeton into a city using economic development and increased population density as the way to go. This may happen anyway due to judges who consistently render decisions favoring real estate development over local control of growth. Sooner or later it becomes a numbers game counting winners and losers. Ask yourself whose ox is being gored. It may be the whole town. LouIS SLEE Spruce Street

Senses Revived After Seeing The “Living Hand” of John Keats On the Need to Care for Animals In a Manner Worthy of Their Love

To the Editor: I am wakened every night by the sound of barking dogs left outside not far from my house. I love dogs and I certainly do not mind being awoken by them. My concern is this: it is cold and getting colder. Why are they outside in these temperatures? The other night I checked and it was 29 degrees. now unless these dogs I hear are huskies, Malamutes, or other dogs that prefer the cold, no dog (or cat) should be out at this time of year. If you have animals, please protect them from all harm. If you know of an animal in distress, please talk with the people involved, or animal control, or the police. Animals give us So MuCh. We need to care for them in a manner that is worthy of their love for us. GInA LAIDLAW Cherry Valley Road

BOOK REVIEW

The Missing Chapter — Ending a Russian November With Dostoevsky’s “The Possessed”

was still in my teens when I read Dostoevsky for the first time. Going from Holden Caulfield in New York to a Russian student plotting an act of murder in St. Petersburg seemed like growing up. Crime and Punishment was electric, fascinating, a new world. I was 20 when I read The Possessed, older but not much wiser. I was out of my depth, unprepared for the upgrade from a philosophical axe murderer named Raskolnikov to a charismatic child molestor named Stavrogin. It would have helped if I’d been able to read the chapter in which Stavrogin describes his crime, but it was considered too shocking to print in 1872 no matter how often Dostoevsky tried to tone it down. Finally, after more than 50 years, I’ve been able to read “Stavrogin’s Confession” in the Barnes and Noble edition of The Possessed published in 2005, except it’s still not in its rightful place at the end of Part II but exiled to the back of the book as an appendix. In her introduction, Elizabeth Dalton refers to it as “this terrible story,” a “small, cruel masterpiece” that is “excruciating to read.” I agree, though I found it both disturbing and fascinating rather than “excruciating.” I’ve read it twice and I’ll read it again. It’s the high point of the novel, the one indispensable passage, and it isn’t in the novel. Transcending the Boundaries After the missing chapter turned up in Dostoevsky’s papers in 1921, it was translated into English and published a year later by Virginia Woolf and S.S. Koteliansky for the Hogarth Press. Albert Camus made powerful use of it in 1959 when he adapted The Possessed for the theatre. In effect, two of the most important writers of the 1900s were responsible for reviving material the author considered essential to the understanding of his novel and its central character. Dostoevsky’s biographer Joseph Frank says that without the chapter “there is no doubt the book ends somewhat lamely: the reader does not know either that Stavrogin has made a sacrilegious, proto-Neitzchean attempt to transcend the boundaries of good and evil or that his conscience has driven him to the point of madness.” Nevertheless, Frank calls the novel “perhaps Dostoevsky’s most dazzling creation.” “Stavrogin is Everything” In his foreword to the American edition of The Possessed: A Play in Three Parts (Knopf 1960), Albert Camus claims that he “grew up” with the novel and “took sustenance from it.” Besides being “one of the four or five works” he ranks “above all others,” it’s “a prophetic book … not only because it prefigures our nihilism, but also because its protagonists are torn or dead souls unable to love and suffering from that inability, wanting to believe and yet unable to do so — like those who people our society and our spiritual world today.” He ends with reference to “the spiritual adventure and death of Stavrogin, a contemporary hero.” It’s interesting that Camus, who considers suicide “the only one really serious philosophical problem,”

neglects to mention that the hero takes his own life. In his notes, Dostoevsky writes, “Stavrogin is everything. I have taken him from my heart.” Titling an early chapter “Prince Harry. Matchmaking,” he provides Stavrogin with a Shakespearean entrance. The “strange rumors” of his “riotous living with a sort of frenzy” and “savage recklessness” in St. Petersburg that distress his mother are interpreted by a friend as “the first riotous effervescence of a too richly endowed nature, like that of Prince Harry, who caroused with Falstaff, Poins, and Mrs. Quickly.” Pleased to have her son’s notoriety given literary stature, Stavrogin’s mother reads Henry IV “with great attention,” only to learn soon after that her son has been “involved in two duels almost at once, was entirely to blame for both of them, had killed one of his adversaries on the spot and had maimed the o t h e r.” A n d t here’s more to come — as Dostoevsky puts it, “the wild beast showed his claws” a few months later. At 25, t he beast is fabulou s l y h a n d some and women are “w ild about him,” though “s h a r p l y d i vided into two parties, one of which adored him while the other half regarded him with a hatred that was almost bloodthirsty: but both were crazy about him.” While some “were particularly fascinated by the idea that he had perhaps a fateful secret hidden in his soul,” others “were positively delighted at the fact that he was a murderer.” Although “one would have thought that he must be a paragon of beauty, yet at the same time there seemed something repellent about him.” André Gide considered Stavrogin “the strangest and perhaps most terrifying of Dostoevsky’s creations.” Writing in 1924, he adds that in spite of “the horror Dostoevsky professed for anarchy, the whole of The Possessed prophesies the revolution of which Russia is at present in the throes.” Some 75 years later, André Glucksmann goes so far as to compare Stavrogin to Osama bin Laden while placing the novel’s “nihilistic terrorism” at the root of September 11, in that “everything is permis-

sible, whether because God exists and I am his representative, or because God does not exist and I take his place.” Stavrogin’s Confession Reading the missing chapter brought back the rush of first discovering Dostoevsky in Crime and Punishment. Both Raskolnikov and Stavrogin are on “a spiritual adventure” where “everything is permissible.” But, as Stavrogin tells Tikhon, the monk to whom he reads his confession, the rule of his life is “that there is neither good nor evil.” While Stavrogin’s crime involves nothing like the killing of two women with an axe, the narrative of his movements, the fateful steps, the process, the interior architecture, resemble elements of the earlier novel: the dust-hazed St. Petersburg atmosphere, the light, the sounds of workmen elsewhere in the building where the encounter takes place. In this case, the v ictim is not an objectionable old lady but a 12-year-old girl, and the moral terr o r i s n’t s o much inspired by w h at t h e “ killer” does as by what he allows to happen. Depending on which translation you read, one of the most disturbing things about the incident is the way the child becomes complicit. In the version included with the edition of The Possessed introduced by Elizabeth Dalton, when Stavrogin kisses the girl’s hand and takes her on his knee, she suddenly pulls away and smiles “as if ashamed,” then flings her arms around his neck and begins kissing him “passionately,” her face expressing “perfect ecstasy …. When all was over, she was confused.” In the version of the scene included with the more recent translation of the novel (retitled Demons) by Richard Peavear and Larissa Volokhonsky, Stavrogin kisses not only her hands but “her face and her feet.” And “when he kissed her feet she recoiled all over and smiled as if in shame.” Even with the ambiguities inherent in translation, there’s no way of knowing what Dostoevsky specifically intended since he was editing the scene in an effort to make it printable. In any case, the power of the chapter defies paraphrasing.

Stavrogin knows “that all that happened must have seemed to her, in the end, infinitely horrible.” The aftermath, as related by Dalton, is that following “several days of despair and illness, she hangs herself, while he awaits, fully aware, in the next room.” For all its vivid wide-ranging Shakespearean complexity as Dostoevsky’s most politically prophetic work touching on issues that came to fruition with the Russian revolution and that can actually be seen to prefigure agents like those at work in Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, not to mention Stavrogin’s relevance to the current media frenzy about sexual molestation, The Possessed has been violated, its darkest, most Dostoevskian scene consigned to an appendix. “A Gruesome Charade” My post-adolescent relationship with Dostoevsky, and everything implied by that adjective “Dostoevskian,” was heightened by the real-life story of the reprieve he received a minute away from death by a firing squad. In a letter to his brother Mikhail dated later the same day, December 22, 1849, he describes how “they read us all our death sentence” and “attired us for execution …. They were calling three names at a time. I was in the second group and so I had no more than one minute to live …. Then they sounded retreat. Those who were tied to the post were led back, and they announced that His Imperial Majesty was granting us life.” t was only after reading Joseph Frank’s biography that I learned that the whole scene was a “gruesome charade.” Dostoevsky was 28 at the time, and his actual punishment would be four years hard labor in Siberia. The playthings-for-thegods aspect of the bogus execution diminished the existential glamour that the legend had had for me. Such a travesty feels very 21st-century, as in “fake news.” Others knew of the death sentence as they watched the prisoners carted off to the site of the execution; that’s why Dostoevsky’s main concern in the letter to his brother was to assure him the news was a lie: no one had truly been condemned to die, the authorities were only making a point, exacting a moral lesson. No wonder gambling with life and death is called Russian roulette. —Stuart Mitchner The newspaper image used for the cover of the Barnes and Noble edition of The Possessed is titled Conspiracy in Russia: A Nihilist Meeting Surprised. The scene could just as easily be taking place in 1917 as in 1872 when the novel was published. Dostoevsky might have been at such a meeting when he was in his twenties, but as Constance Garnett explains in her preface to Crime and Punishment, he was “neither by temperament nor conviction a revolutionist.”

William F. Buckley Jr. Subject of Discussion

A l v i n Fe l z e n b e r g a n d Charles Stile will be discussing Felzenberg’s new book, The Man and His Presidents: The Political Odyssey of William Buckley Jr. ( Yale Un iversit y Press) at Labyrinth Books on Thursday, November 30 at 6 p.m. William F. Buckley Jr. is widely regarded as the most influential American conservative writer, activist, and organizer in the postwar era. Felzenberg considers Buckley’s role as a backchannel adviser to policy makers, his intimate friendship with both Ronald and Nancy Reagan, his changing views on civil rights, and his break with George W. Bush over the Iraq War. The New York Times calls it “a gracefully written and richly informative book.” According to the Wall Street Journal, The Man and His Presidents is “Deeply researched and smoothly written … a superb political biography … [a] fresh account of a much-chronicled figure.” Alvin S. Felzenberg served in two presidential administrations and was principal spokesman for the 9/11

Princeton University profes s or A nt hony G raf ton writes, “This spectacular book teaches us to read Hamlet as a searing critique of the humanist verities that Shakespeare and his audience had mastered at school —―principles and practices that had guided generations.

The paper presentation begins with contemporary dystopias and a persistent liberal discomfort with them. Drawing on long poems by H.D. and Susan Howe, I will then ask whether the non-place of literature or literature as a place without the limitations of place, might enable us to think pasts, presents, and futures that are literally unhabitable and yet whose temporary psychic, imaginative, intellectual, and affective inhabitation is vital for human life.

Music and Theater Eisler’s “Chilling and Lyrical” Songs Are In Karyn Levitt’s Cabaret Program It was her fondness for the music of Kurt Weill that introduced soprano and actress Karyn Levitt to the works of another composer of Weill’s era, Hanns Eisler. It wasn’t love at first hearing. But Levitt, who will perform a program of Eisler’s works at Princeton University on Friday, December 1, soon began to fall under the spell of his 12 tone, modernist style. “In the summer of 2011, I wrote a letter to Eric Bentley [critic, playwright, singer, and translator], the world authority on Bertolt Brecht, because he was his original translator,” Levitt said during a telephone conversation. “I had been wanting to do a show on Weill songs for a while. He wrote back — he was 94 at the time — and said that in his opinion, singers are too focused on Weill and suggested I focus on other composers who

worked with Brecht. Among them was Eisler, whom he emphasized. It was that suggestion that set me on a path of working with (Bentley) directly on this repertoire and falling in love with it.” Brecht is best known as the author (with Elisabeth Hauptmann) of The Threepenny Opera (1928 ), for which Weill composed the score. While less internationally known, the Austrianborn Eisler, who lived from 1898 to 1962, wrote the music for several of Brecht’s plays as well as films. “He was Brecht’s favorite collaborator,” said Levitt. “People think that was Weill, but it was Eisler.” “Will There Still Be Singing? A Hanns Eisler Cabaret” is the title of the show Levitt will perform Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Taplin Auditorium in Fine Hall. The evening is presented by the Program in European Cultural Stud-

ies. Co-sponsors are the University’s Department of Music; Department of German; the Program in Contemporary European Politics and Society; the Program on Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies; and the Lewis Center for the Arts. Pianist Eric Ostling, guitarist Ira Siegel, and accordionist Benjamin Ickies will accompany Levitt. Levitt found Eisler’s music difficult at first. “It was hard to take. He is a modernist composer,” she said. “He was [Arnold] Schoenberg’s best student and the first to compose in the 12tone method. He was also a communist, and some of his songs are very political. Then there is Brecht’s poetry and ideology itself, which I found very dark. “ Weill’s work is dark, but also “seductive,” Levitt said. “His music is, ultimately, romantic music. Even if the

COME TO THE CABARET: Soprano Karyn Levitt brings the music of 20th century Austrian composer Hanns Eisler to the forefront in “Will There Still Be Singing? A Hanns Eisler Cabaret,” at Princeton University this Friday. romantic is degenerative, it is still in the realm of the romantic, in my opinion. Eisler, on the other hand, is modern and completely unsentimental.” The very qualities that initially put her off Eisler “made me fall madly in love,” Levitt continued. “He is chilling and lyrical, a model of concision. There is simply no indulgence. The music so transparently reflects the message of Brecht’s words and is such a comment on the dark times that I think it is a remarkable repertoire.” A classically trained soprano, Levitt was born in El Paso, Texas and is a graduate of Oberlin College. She has appeared at New York’s Town Hall, Cafe Sabarsky at the Neue Galerie, and Carnegie Hall. Under Bentley’s guidance, she curated an evening of Eisler’s songs that won her favorable re-

views around the U.S. and abroad. She released a CD, Eric Bentley’s Brecht-Eisler Song Book, last March. Levitt also has her own production company. T his Fr iday’s prog ram was first performed at Cafe Sabarsky last year. The show had its European premiere in Berlin in March at BrechtHaus, the home of Brecht. “This is the first universitysponsored performance of the cabaret show,” Levitt said. “The fact that there are so many different sponsors really speaks to the interdisciplinary nature of what we’re presenting.” The show is notable because it will encompass all three categories of Eisler’s repertoire: his art songs, his ideological songs, and the theater songs he wrote for Brecht’s plays. “There are different camps of singers who do the different

repertoire, but I really can’t think of anybody [else] who is artistically comfortable singing a theater song, an atonal art song, and a communist marching song,” Levitt said. Last year, Levitt produced a program at New York’s Town Hall in honor of Bentley’s 100th birthday. Among the participants were actor Austin Pendleton, playwright Tony Kushner, and several others. “It was a wonderful tribute to him and it included the world premiere of songs by Darius Milhaud to the words of Brecht,” she said. Levitt said that Friday’s program is relevant because it can be related to the current global situation. “These songs are coming from a destroyed world going down in flames,” she said. “You would think that would be ancient history and that the human race has evolved and moved on, but these things come around again. It strikes notes that are happening right now.” —Anne Levin

“The Mask You Live In” At Princeton Academy

Princeton Academy of the Sacred Heart hosts a free public screening and discussion of the documentary The Mask You Live In on Wednesday, January 17, at 6:30 p.m. in the McPherson Athletic and Convocation Center (MACC). Princeton Academy’s vision to lead a national reinvention of boys’ education for a new generation of enlightened men is at the heart of this event and discussion about masculinity and raising sons. The Mask You Live In follows boys and young men as they struggle to stay true to themselves while negotiating America’s narrow definition of masculinity. Written, produced, and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2015. The documentary presents the personal narratives of young boys and men and features experts in neuroscience, psychology, sociology, sports, education, and media, further exploring how gender stereotypes are interconnected with race, class, and circumstance. The Mask You Live In ultimately illustrates how we, as a society, can raise a healthier generation of boys and young men.

McCarter Theatre’s “A Christmas Carol”

After 2016’s record-breaking inaugural reimagined production brought Charles Dickens’ timeless story beyond the stage and into the aisles and lobbies, McCarter Theatre Center is proud to announce the return of A

to the final bows. Adults and children will meet Dickensian characters and discover new surprises in the lobbies during the pre-show; and enjoy a myriad of enhanced special ef fects and new dance numbers on stage. Since its publication in 1843, Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol has come to embody everything that is good and right about the human spirit — not only during the holidays, but throughout the year. Originally written in rebuttal to the squalid working conditions of child laborers in Industrial Age England, A Christmas Carol remains

a heartwarming tale of redemption, hope, and love. McCarter’s latest reimagining of this annual tradition has been honored with acclaim by audiences and critics alike, praising the Community Ensemble, in particular. Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol runs December 5-31 in the Matthews Theatre. Single tickets range from $25-$102.50 and are on sale now online at mccarter.org, by phone at (609) 258-2787, or in person at the McCarter Theatre Center ticket office, located at 91 University Place in Princeton.

CINEMA REVIEW

Novitiate

Aspiring Nun Struggles With Vows in Coming-of-Age Drama

athleen Harris (Margaret Qualley) was raised in rural Tennessee in the 1950s and at an early age became interested in a religious life. That fixation was disconcerting to Nora, her single mother (Julianne Nicholson), who openly and forcefully declared her atheism. Nora blamed the Catholic school Cathleen attended for encouraging her daughter’s obsessive interest in religion. By the time she was a teenager, Cathleen’s faith had grown so strong that she wanted to become a nun. And, over her mother’s objections, she entered a convent when she was 15. She took the name Sister Cathleen and dropped her surname, however, there were still years of training ahead of her before she would be allowed to take her final vows. To achieve this, she had to prove herself worthy during her postulance, the probationary period that tested a novice’s commitment to silence, poverty, obedience, and chastity. Cathleen’s class at the convent was comprised of several equally pious teenagers who also desired to live ascetic lives as “wives of Christ.” They were all being trained by the convent’s Reverend Mother (Melissa Leo), whose job

was to weed out those young women who were uncertain about whether or not they wanted to be nuns. That is the point of departure of Novitiate, a drama written and directed by Margaret Betts (The Carrier). The compelling character portrait plumbs the depths of Cathleen’s soul as she struggles to decide whether or not she’s meant to enter the order. The picture takes place in the mid-1960s, just after Pope John XXIII had issued a series of 16 historic proclamations including one that lowered the standing of nuns to that of lay believers. Stripped of their status, 90,000 nuns renounced their vows and returned to private life. The movie explores how this change in status effected someone like Cathleen who was just embarking on the path to becoming a nun. Novitiate explores the internal angst of a young teen age woman who is struggling to decide whether or not she’s meant to be a nun. Very Good (HHH). Rated R for profanity, sexuality, and nudity. Running time: 123 minutes. Production Studio: Maven Pictures/Novitiate Productions. Distributor: Sony Pictures Classics. —Kam Williams

Although Sebastian Much spent most of the first half on the bench as the Princeton University men’s basketball team hosted Lafayette last Wednesday, he still had his head in the game. “I was feeding off of Richmond [Aririguzoh] because he brought such an intensity to the game,” said freshman forward Much of his sophomore teammate. “I didn’t play much in the first half, but that didn’t matter; Richmond kept everyone on their feet because everyone was always clapping for him.” In the second half, people were clapping for Much when he poured in 10 points to spark a 17-5 run as Princeton pulled away to a 6046 win over the Leopards before a crowd of 1,575 at Jadwin Gym. “I just did my job, made open shots, and tried to play hard and keep up with Richmond’s intensity,” said Much, reflecting on his outburst. While Much did his job well against Lafayette, he acknowledged that it has been hard getting up to speed at the next level. “I think a lot of it is getting acclimated to the intensity that comes with college basketball,” said Much, a 6’8, 225-pound native of Laguna Niguel, Calif. “Coming from high school, everyone was not at this level obviously. You are playing at a different level with everyone being a very good player and a star in high school. Matching that and learning how to play and be a different player in the sense of fitting what is needed of you is the hardest thing.” P r i nce ton h e ad coach M i t c h H e n d e r s o n l i ke s the way Much is fitting in. “Sebastian hit a couple of

key shots; it covers up all ills when you can make a shot,” said Henderson of Much, who hit some more shots on Sunday, tallying nine points off the bench as Princeton defeated Fairleigh Dickinson 83-76 to improve to 2-3. “He has adjusted to the college game well; he is very talented.” In Henderson’s view, the play of the athletic and charismatic Aririguzoh, a former Trenton Catholic standout, helped change the tone of the Lafayette game in Princeton’s favor. “We are putting a lot of pressure on our defense and I thought Richmond did a great job with energy,” said Henderson of the 6’9, 220-pound center who contributed six points and four rebounds in 22 minutes of action. “For me, it started with Richmond. He brought a spark, he lights up a room with his smile. He is a special young man who has the ability to affect a game that way. He takes ownership of that, which is a lot of fun for us. The team loves him.” He n d er s on love d s e e ing Princeton holding the Leopards to 17 points in the second half on the way to posting its first victory of the season. “They are always hard to guard, [Matt] Klinewski, in particular, is difficult,” said Henderson. “They challenge you in terms of your spacing defensively. We have an opportunity to be a very good defensive team. We were really happy to get the win.” While the team’s big three of Devin Cannady, Myles Stephens, and Amir Bell has shouldered much of the scoring load in the early going, Henderson believes the Tigers will eventually be harder to guard all over the

court. “By league play, we won’t even be talking about those three guys; it will be a team, that is the objective,” maintained Henderson, whose squad will look to keep on the winning track as it hosts Lehigh on November 29 and then plays at Miami on December 2. “This is a good group, it is a good team. We are missing Will Gladson and Elijah Barnes so we are going to keep growing together as a group until those guys can come back.” Much, for his part, believes that his performance against Lafayette will prove to be a key step in his growth as a player. “It will help me a lot, but I think I can’t think about it too much,” said Much. “I just have to play and things will come.” —Bill Alden

Kuffner Displays His Increased Confidence, Helping PU Men’s Hockey Top Bemidji State Even though the Princeton Universit y men’s hockey team fell behind Bemidji State 1-0 after just 17 seconds last Friday evening, Ryan Kuffner and his teammates weren’t concerned. “We have a lot of guys coming back who can skate and move the puck,” said junior forward Kuffner, a 6’1, 195-pound native of Ottawa, Ontario. “Being together as four lines who are confident, we are ready to play from puck drop every night so if you let in one goal, that is not really going to bother you whatsoever.” Showing his confidence, Kuffner helped spark a twogoal outburst in a span of 1:39 late in the second period, tallying the first goal and assisting on the second as the Tigers went up 2-1 and never looked back on the way to a 4-1 win over the Beavers. In reflecting on his goal, Kuffner acknowledged that he got a lucky bounce. “I just got the puck from [Josh] Teves, it was just a broken down play and a few guys were by the net so I figured I would just send one and hopefully Dave [Hallisey] would tip it,” said Kuffner. “It just made its way past the goalie.” On his assist, Kuffner sent the puck to linemate Alex Riche, who converted the pass into his first goal of the season. “They bring three or four guys right down so we knew that we had to get one or two guys beat and that is what Riche did there for his goal,” said Kuffner. “He should have a lot more. He is a great player and we are lucky to play with him.” With the Tigers off to a 4-4-1 start, Kuffner believes that the team is playing better all over the ice. “We are working as a fiveman unit a bit more than last year,” said Kuffner. “That is huge in this type of game, when everybody is fast and they will hit.” Hav ing worked on the same line with classmates Max Veronneau and Riche since freshman year, Kuffner senses that the trio is totally in synch. “Even in games when the production isn’t there necessarily, we just try to work together,” said Kuffner, who now has 10 points this season on five goals and five assists with Veronneau having tallied a team-high 11 on five goals and six assists. “I think the biggest thing is staying close to each other. When we get separated that makes the passes a bit tougher in the zone. We get less shots and we get less bodies to the net. It is just playing together. Max and Alex are just great players

and it makes it a lot easier.” Princeton head coach Ron Fogarty is happy with how his players are working together. “ I j u s t l i ke d h o w w e played, but you never know,” said Fogarty. “In the Brown game (a 3-0 loss on November 18), we played well and you think that you should score and we didn’t.” Fogarty sensed a goal was coming for the Tigers as they carried play after the early tally by the Beavers. “We had a lot of opportunities, we had 53 after two so I knew we were getting pucks toward the net and we hit on 28 shots,” said Fogarty. “It was better offensive tendencies for us tonight.” Kuffner has established himself as one of Princeton’s better offensive players. “Ryan has been our leading scorer the last two years, he is a great player,” said Fogarty. “He is going to have a chance to play professional hockey; teams are on him right now because he does things over and over again in the right way. Every time you put him over the boards, you know exactly what you are going to get and it is good, as a coach, to know that.” The Tigers were looking to do better on the defensive end on Friday after falling 5-3 to Bemidji two days earlier in the first contest of the two-game set. “Our defense was very porous on Wednesday; we kept the shots at a very manageable number tonight, it was better for our defense,” said Fogarty, whose team out-

shot the Beavers 40-27 on Friday. “We wanted to make sure that we have control. They came with a little more heat because they were down and we just made sure that we could go back and forth more efficiently and with confidence. It is not just flinging it around. It is getting to spaces and being available for the movement of the puck.” Fogarty believes his team is moving in the right direction. “You look at where we were last year exactly at this time and we are ahead of the game,” said Fogarty, whose team hosts Dartmouth on December 1 and Harvard on December 2. “We are at .500 and we were trying to chase .500 last year. We are playing as a team. We are beyond where we were, even at the end of last year. It is comforting to know that guys are putting meat on the bones of the systems and our philosophies.” In Kuffner’s view, getting the chance to play the Beavers in back-to-back games was a valuable experience. “They are a bigger and faster team than what we see all the time; and to play somebody twice definitely helps us,” said Kuffner. “We get to see how we adjust. We are pretty familiar with other teams but to play out of conference, it is like a little playoff series. Even if we did come up short a bit in the first game, the second game is the biggest one, just like the playoffs. You have to win that second game, no matter what, so that is huge for us.” —Bill Alden

L ook ing a head to t he season, Cour tney Bang hart believed that she had put together a challenging schedule that would force her Princeton University women’s basketball team to compete, and not just play. Displaying competitive zeal, the Tigers have been up to the task, producing a 3-1 start, topping George Washington (72-52 on November 10) and Seton Hall ( 85-83 on November 16) and then falling to Georgia Tech (67-56 on November 19) before rebounding with

a 63-57 win at Davidson last Saturday. P r i nce ton h e ad coach Banghart likes the way her squad has risen to the challenge. “The schedule has been really difficult; we have had young people we can count on and we have older guys that we have been able to count on,” said Banghart. “I have said all along, this is a really good team and it’s fun to watch them grow.” S ophomore s tar B ella Alarie is growing into a

dominant force, averaging a team-high 17.0 points and 10.5 rebounds a game. “Bella has gotten better and better; she has such a huge impact on the game on both ends,” said Banghart of Alarie, who tallied 21 points and had 11 rebounds in the win over Davidson, her third straight double-double. “She is a really special talent.” Just four games into the campaign, freshman guard Carlie Littlefield has already made a huge impact, averaging 12.0 points, 2.8 assists, and 3.8 rebounds a game. “She is a quintessential point guard; she can run a team, she can score, she can hit the three, she can go all the way to the rim, she has a pull up game, she gets others involved, and she defends over 94 feet,” said Banghart. “We always say a good point guard makes playing the game easy and a team without a point guard makes playing the game really difficult. She makes our game easy.” One of the team’s veterans, senior Tia Weledji, has raised her game. “We needed her to play like a senior and she has done that so far,” said Banghart of Weledji, who has been contributing 12.0 points and 4.0 rebounds a contest. “You have to count on your seniors when you need them; she has given us a lot without a doubt.” While encouraged by the 3-1 start, Banghart sees room for growth at both ends of the floor. “We are pretty good at defending our own, but as we have to defend more and more teams, it is being able to communicate in play,” said Banghart. “That is what you expect from a young team and we are still learning to do that. Offensively, we are playing so fast that we are turning over the ball too much. It is earning easy ones and putting pressure on the defense with valuing the possession. We are still a little further away from where we need to be there.” The Tigers will be under pressure this week as they host Villanova, who defeated Princeton in the opening round of the WNIT last winter, on November 29 and Delaware on December 2. “Villanova almost went to the Final 4 of the WNIT last year, they start three seniors who have played almost every minute they have been there,” said Banghart. “It is a really experienced team that runs a really difficult action for a young team to figure out. It is going to be a test of two postseason teams, it should be a really neat battle. Delaware has been playing really well under a new coach with a lot of new energy and a really talented roster. The schedule doesn’t get any easier.” In Banghart’s view, her squad could end up being really difficult to beat. “This team continues to get better, I think we have an opportunity to be really, really good,” asserted Banghart. “Therefore, we are going to go through times where we think we can be better and times where we are sailing. It is staying in the moment when you have a really good team.” —Bill Alden

Chase Taking the Helm of PHS Boys’ Hockey, Bringing Focus on Hard Work, Aggressiveness Tim Chase enjoyed a superb hockey career, starring at Brown University before joining the Montreal Canadiens organization in 1993 and making several stops in his stint as a pro. After hanging up his skates during the 2005-06 season, Chase went into the financial sector as a trader. But Chase couldn’t resist the pull of hockey for long. “When I quit playing, I was in Tampa and was good friends with one of the assistant coaches for the [Tampa Bay] Lightning,” said Chase. “He was involved with youth coaching in the area and he got me to help coach one of his teams. I loved it.” In 2010, Chase moved to Princeton to work for Eagle Trading Systems on Palmer Square and quickly became involved in youth hockey in the area. At the end of 2016, he left Eagle to become the Director of Hockey at ProSkate Ice Rink in Monmouth Junction and the general manager for the New Jersey Stars travel program. Now, Chase is diversifying his coaching portfolio by taking the helm of the Princeton High boys’ program, succeeding Terence Miller, who stepped down last summer after taking a job in New York City. While Chase, 47, had a lot on his plate, he couldn’t pass up the chance to get into high school hockey. “It wasn’t really what I was looking for this year, but opportunities pop up,” said Chase, who is leading a program that went 19-4-4 last winter on the way to the state Public A semifinals. “You look at the team and I thought it was a great fit.” As the Little Tigers went t h roug h t h e pre s e as on, Chase looked to instill a blue collar ethic.

“We w ill def initely be hardworking, we will definitely force the play all over the ice and we will be aggressive and physical,” said Chase, who enjoyed a big debut as PHS defeated Nottingham 11-1 in its season opener last Monday. Chase likes the quality of work he has been getting from his new players. “I try to make things up tempo, I want to play that way,” said Chase. “It is good. I am thankful to Terence, he handed off a team that has got a lot of good talent. We are pretty deep up front and we have got some good defensemen. I think that our goalies are much better than anticipated.” The depth at forward includes senior Justin Joyce, sophomore Rocco Salvato, junior Ben Drezner, sophomore Keith Goldberg, sophomore Ryan McCormick, sophomore Stephen Avis, and the Trainor brothers, junior Robbie, sophomore Aidan, and freshman Colm. “They are good, we are pretty fortunate there,” said Chase. “We are going to roll three lines.” The team’s defense unit features senior Max Garlock, junior Nathan Podgalsky, junior Augie Preziosi, sophomore Danny Mulligan, and freshman Patrick McDonald. “We have five solid defensemen,” said Chase, in assessing his blue line crew. “Max is solid; he is a big kid and physical. Patrick is really good, especially as a freshman. Podgalsky is a big kid and reads the play well as does Preziosi. Danny didn’t play much last year. but he is pretty good.” Juniors Harry Skopas and Scott Mayers are looking to fill the shoes of graduated senior star Sawyer Peck. “In the two scrimmages,

they have looked good,” said Chase. “I will probably rotate them for a handful of games and go from there.” The play of the goalies and getting the most out of team’s depth at forward will be critical factors in determining PHS’s success this winter. “One of the keys coming into the season is how solid will our goaltending be to compete against the better teams not in our conference,” said Chase. “Some programs try to stack a line or two and hope to fill in with the rest. I want to roll three lines against good teams. You can’t beat a good team on two lines, you are going to run out of gas in the second or third period.” No matter what the record turns out to be, Chase is going to have a good time guiding the Little Tigers. “For me, it is exciting,” said Chase, whose team plays the Hun School on December 1 at the Ice Land Skating Center before facing Lawrence on December 4 at the Mercer County Skating Center. “Hockey is my full time job now, coaching high school hockey along with the travel programs. I coached some of them in the Princeton Youth Hockey Association and with the Stars organization. We have got a lot of good hockey players in the area.” —Bill Alden

Although Scott Bertoli isn’t sure whether his Princeton Day School boys’ hockey team is going to be dominant this winter, he is certain that it will provide plenty of entertainment. “Our speed is a tremendous asset and that has been really evident through the first three scrimmages and even jus t watch ing them practice,” said PDS head coach Scott Bertoli, who guided the Panthers to a 13-11-2 record last winter as they won the state Prep title. “The speed and the skill level of this group is as good as I have had here in my 10 years. That is not to say that this will be the best team we have had, but from the skill level and speed perspective, it is a very talented group so it is fun to watch.” The group has gotten off to a fast start in preseason. “It has gone well; I think we have progressed quicker that I expected us to,” said Bertoli, whose team starts its 2017-18 season this week by hosting Seton Hall Prep on November 28, St. Joe’s Metuchen on November 30, and North Yarmouth Academy (Maine) on December 2. “I have been really pleased with the way we have played, they have adjusted well. They are taking in everything that we are putting out there for them. There is a certain way we want to play and for the most part, in the first three scrimmages, they have executed beyond my expectations.” The team’s top line of junior Ty Eastman, senior Ryan Lisk, and junior Coby Auslander figure to execute well at both ends of the ice. “Ty Eastman, more than any kid on our roster, has made tremendous strides from last year to this year; he is a totally different player,” said Bertoli. “He is a big, strong kid

and plays physical. He is looking really, really good, which is encouraging to me. Lisk and Auslander are good two-way hockey players. My expectation is for them to be our best line, playing against the opposition’s top line and not only shutting them down but still being able to generate offense. They have controlled the game when they have been out there in our three scrimmages.” Bertoli is confident that his second line of senior Russell Friedman, sophomore Cade McLaughlin and freshman Luke Antonacci will generate plenty of offense. “Russell is really good, he is really effective and has been involved in a lot of scoring through the first three scr immages,” said Bertoli. “He is playing alongside Cade and Luke. That line has looked really good. Luke is an elite level player. Their play to this point has been really encouraging and they, more than that top line, have really produced.” In a testament to t he squad’s depth, PDS should also get production from its third line of freshman Drew McConaughy, sophomore David Sherman, and senior Brian Frister. “Drew and David are both Tier 1 kids. One plays with the Rockets, one plays with the Chiefs,” said Bertoli. “They are good, solid kids who know how to play the game. Because we have depth on our defense, we have got Brian playing the wing on that third line. The kid can skate. He is the fastest kid on the ice and relishes the role of having the freedom of making mistakes in the offensive zone and getting after it on the forecheck. I think he will be effective up there, especially playing with those two young kids.” The Panthers boast an effective defensive unit, starting with the pair of senior

Eric Sherman and freshman Birch Gorman. “Eric is one of our captains; he looks great, he is a just a two-way hockey player,” said Bertoli. “He is a little undersized but he is one of the strongest skaters on the ice. He defends well; he is someone that our kids will all look up to. Birch is a big kid, he plays high level Tier 1 hockey. He is a really good talented kid with a tremendous work ethic.” The pair of senior star Nic Petruolo and junior standout Chip Hamlett figure to provide scoring from the blue line as well as tough defensive play. “Nic Petr u lo is a big, strong kid; he is very good offensively and looks good,” said Bertoli, who will be using sophomore Chris Cecila and sophomore Justin Sherman as his third pair of defensemen. “Chip, like so many of these guys, is another kid who has really progressed and developed. They look good, they are going to get involved offensively.” At goalie, senior Boris Gorelenkov is primed to fill the void left by the graduation of four-year starter Logan Kramsky. “Boris has been good, he is a big kid and I think he is going to relish the role of being the starter,” said Bertoli. “It is his team, we have talked to him about that a lot, going back to the end of last year. It is his job to lose. He probably only played three or four games last year but he did well.” Freshman netminder David Lee is showing good potential as he makes the adjustment to high school hockey. “Our backup is David, he is athletic and plays at a high level,” added Bertoli. “He is being challenged by kids that are 17 or 18 years old rather than kids who are 14 so there is a difference there.” PDS plans to challenge its foes this winter with its speed and skill. “We are going to play aggressively and we are going to attack all over the ice,” said Bertoli. “I just feel that against good competition, if we sit back and spend too much time in our d-zone, we could get overwhelmed physically against some of these bigger, older groups. We are going to be on the offensive and attack.” In Bertoli’s view, the PDS players have been showing an attacking mentality. “I like the progress that we have made, the kids are motivated,” said Bertoli. “They all want to play hockey at the next level so as a coach, you can leverage that in practice and push them a little harder and hold them to a little higher standard. It is exciting; you can see the energy on the group.” —Bill Alden

Featuring Solid Contingent of Returning Players, Hun Boys’ Hoops Aiming to Regain Winning Ways Although the Hun School boys’ basketball team is welcoming back a solid core of returners, it still has room for growth. “We are coming along,” said Hun head coach Jon Stone, who guided the Raiders to an 11-15 record last winter. “We have a lot returning but the guys are still young.” One of the squad’s top

young guys is sophomore star guard Niels Lane. “Niels is look ing ver y good,” said Stone, whose team tips off its 2017-18 campaign when it hosts the Haverford School (Pa.) on November 29. “He has improved a lot, not that he needed to. He has taken his game to the next level.” Stone is confident that a pair of seniors, Tyler Wash-

ington and Lorenzo Spinazzi, will take things to a higher level in the backcourt. “Tyler can do so many things for us, there is nothing he can’t do,” said Stone, who will also be using juniors Shamar Florence and Blake Morrisey at guard. “Most guys can shoot but they can’t dribble or they can rebound but they can’t score. He can literally do everything. Lorenzo has been a swing player for us in the past; he will play some more at the guard spot for us this year.” In the frontcourt, 6’5 senior Max Gussen figures to do a lot for Hun. “Max is looking great,” added Stone. “He is very steady and a terrific shooter.” The Raiders boast some terrific additions in the paint in junior Eric Fleming and sophomore Amir Basma. “Eric brings a lot of athleticism and length; he is 6’5, 6’6 and gives us some size,” said Stone. “Amir is about 6’7, he brings some good length and some size as well. He has a good sense and feel for the game and real ability to pass as a bigger guy.” While Stone is confident that the quartet of Lane, Washington, Spinazzi, and Gussen will provide scoring punch, he knows his team will need to be scrappy to enjoy a big season. “With our schedule, we are going to have teams that are bigger than us,” said Stone. “So the ability to team rebound and team defend are going to be two of the biggest keys, for sure.” —Bill Alden

After Producing Big Turnaround Last Season, Hun Girls’ Hoops Primed for More Progress L a s t w i n te r, t h e H u n School girls’ basketball team authored an inspiring turnaround story, posting a 1014 record after going 1-22 in 2015-16. Adding some promising newcomers to go with a superb contingent of returners, the Raiders are poised to make more progress this season. “It is a terrific balance between perimeter players as well as interior players,” said Hun head coach Bill Holup, whose team gets its 2017-18 season underway this week by hosting Germantown Friends (Pa.) on November 28 and then playing at Padua Academy (Del.) on December 2 and at Lawrenceville on December 5. “We do have people that score outside and we have people who can score inside. It is just a matter of maintaining consistency.” The team’s top perimeter threat, junior guard Jada Jones, is bringing a diversified game into the season. “Jada has really worked on her ball handling to be able to take over that position when need be,” said Holup, noting that Jones had to play point guard last season when post-graduate star Anna Maguire was sidelined by injury. “Jada was always a shooting guard and she wasn’t somebody that felt ver y comfortable playing point but she was our best ball handler overall. Her ball handling has really improved and she still has the shooting and scoring skills.” The Raiders boast two more skilled guards in sophomore Nicole Angelini and freshman Kennedy Jardine. “Nicole has been terrific,” said Holup, who will also be using sophomore Emily Buckley and Alexis English in the backcourt. “She is somebody that I can count on to step in there and help out when need be. She will be a really good player for us. Kennedy can score and handle the ball. She just has to continue to learn the nuances of the game. She is very confident in her abilities and her teammates are very confident in her shooting the ball and handling the ball as well.” The addition of 6’4 postgrad Kai Volcy gives Hun a scoring threat in the paint. “Kai moves ver y well,

she has got good hands for somebody her size,” said Holup. “She is very athletic and she has really been improving with her post moves. Every weekend, she would go home and work out with her AAU club. She will really help us out.” Volcy’s presence should help returning sophomore star Alexis Harvell. “Alexis is back and looking better than last year,” said Holup. “She doesn’t have to carry everything in the post for us. Kai has taken a lot of that and Alexis is given a little more freedom.” Junior returner Leah Sutphen and junior transfer Erin Harrigan give Hun a lot of depth in the frontcourt. “When Leah is out there, she brings so much; it is just

her all-around hustle. She makes things happen,” said Holup, who is also welcoming back senior Lauren Cunniff at forward. “She gets rebounds, gets steals, and does a lot of that dirty work that is out there. It really creates things for us. Erin is about 5’10; she gives us good size and runs the floor well. She has a great attitude and personality. She is physical and experienced.” Holup, for his part, is confident that the Raiders can get better and better as the season unfolds. “I am excited for the season to get underway; they are jelling well together,” said Holup. “We w ill be play ing a tough schedule so hopefully we will just continue to improve and have everything balanced out by the end of February.” —Bill Alden

Quality over quantity is going to be the theme for the Hun School boys’ hockey team this winter. “We have got a barebones team, we will have a core of 13 varsity skaters, three lines of forwards, four defensemen, and a goalie,” said head coach Ian McNally, who guided Hun to an 8-16 record last season and its fourth straight Mercer County Tournament title. “They are all pretty talented; it is a strong group. I am not concerned about it but it is a smaller team than we have had recently.” Imposing 6’4, 230-pound junior forward Kyle Mandleur possesses a rare blend of size and talent. “He has the stature that, regardless of his current output, pro coaches are eventually going to say, ‘I want to get my hands on that guy,’” said McNally, whose team gets its 2017-18 campaign u nder w ay t h is we ek by playing at Holy Ghost Prep (Pa.) on November 29 before hosting Princeton High on December 1 and LaSalle College High (Pa.) on December 6 at the Ice Land Skating Center. “I haven’t really seen anybody like that before with his skill set and size. This is a chance for him to lead us. If he has got that pedigree, which people are all kind of betting on, he should absolutely light up New Jersey ice hockey this year.” Freshman forward Matt Argentina is bringing a lot of skill to the mix.

“We always have one or two players who have to jump in right away and he is the next one,” said McNally, who will also be using senior Nick Aubry, junior Brian Nelson, and junior James McCall at forward. “He is very capable and is highly touted; he will be an instant impact freshman.” McNally is hoping that sophomore Eddie Evaldi will make a big impact as he moves to defenseman from forward. “Due to a fact that we have limited resources, he is a guy that we thought might translate to defense,” said McNally. “He skates really well. He is going to be on the ice a lot and he is going to be passed the puck a lot. We are going to bank on him for offense from the back.” The rest of the Hun defensive unit will feature sophomore Hayden Watson along with junior transfers Aidan Mc D owel l a n d B r e n d a n Mrotchek. “The only returning kid is Hayden, he played as a freshman last year and played every game but in a secondary role,” said McNally. “He will get to jump into a regular spot. We have a couple of two new players in Aidan and Brendan. We are pretty lucky to have both of them. They are both very good and I think they can carry the load for us.” The Raiders are depending on sophomore goalie Jack-

son Cole to carry a bigger load this year. “Last year, he had some unbelievable effor ts and some average efforts,” said McNally, noting that Cole had a big fall playing for a Princeton Youth Hockey Association (PYHA) travel team. “I assume this year that, just naturally, he will be more mature and be able to have more of those unbelievable efforts. That experience last year will be helpful for him this year, now he comes in knowing that he is the guy.” In McNally’s view, having a tighter roster will help each player keep on his toes. “We have a group where basically there is no decision to be made, one line goes and then this line goes and then this line goes,” said McNally. “They need that time to rest otherwise. Sometimes it is better having a smaller bench, everyone knows their role.” While the squad may not boast a lot of manpower, McNally believes the Raiders can pile up some big numbers. “We have a fair amount of offensive weapons but we only have four defensemen so I am fully aware that we have to score a bunch of goals this year.” said McNally. “We are not going to get into a dogfight where we are going to win 2-1 because we don’t have the legs for that. We have to score goals and know that we are going to let up a few and that is fine.” —Bill Alden

Obituaries

Jeffrey William Raser Jeffrey W. Raser, of Rancho Santa Fe, Calif., passed away on Sunday, November 12, 2017 in the peaceful presence of his wife of 30 years, Mary Schowalter Raser. Jeffrey (Jeff ) was born December 12, 1960, in Evanston, Illinois. He was raised by his loving parents Thomas W. Raser and Edith Peters Raser in Princeton, N.J. He graduated from Princeton High School in 1979 and then went on to graduate from Franklin & Marshall College in 1983 with a B.A. in Government. He is an alumnus of the Chi Phi Fraternity. Jeff worked passionately in the Biopharmaceutical industry for the majority of his career. Prior to his passing, he was serving as the President and CEO of Nuerana Pharmaceuticals and Executive Director of OrPro Therapeutics, Inc. Previously, he has served as the SVP of Sales and Marketing for Somaxon Pharmaceuticals and Women’s First HealthCare, SVP of Corporate Development and Marketing of CancerVax, and held a number of positions at Roche Laboratories. He will be missed by his many

colleagues who had the opportunity to work with him throughout his career. Jeff loved nothing more than spending time with his family. Alongside his wife Mary, he eagerly vested his entire heart and unwavering support into each of his children’s various passions. He cherished the beaches of Martha’s Vineyard and Del Mar over any place else. Jeff adored cooking family dinners, watching college football, discussing U.S. history and politics, watching his children participate in sports, and introducing his many friends to one another. Jeff is sur vived by his wife Mary, and his four children — Stephen, Elizabeth, Charles, and John Raser — who will carry on their father’s legacy, each in their own remarkable way. He is also survived by his step-siblings Peter, Diane, Robert, and Susan Mooney; and his step-mother, Florence Raser. He was preceded in death by his parents Thomas and Edith Raser. Jeff’s charismatic energy will remain as a constant presence in the life of all of his family and friends. His glimmering eyes, wonderful smile, deep laugh, eloquence, and love will never be forgotten. A memorial service will be held at the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif., on December 9th at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Jeffrey W. Raser Memorial Fund and sent to The Village Community Presbyterian Church, P.O. Box 704 Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067.

Jonathan Michael Selikoff Jonathan Michael Selikoff, 47, our sweet, gentle, kind, a n d m u c h - l ov e d d a d i n , husband, son, and friend, passed away on November 23, 2017 of ALS. Jon faced t he disease with his trademark humor, meeting its many challenges with courage and grace. Upon diagnosis he declared his intent to live as fully as possible, and did so, attending nine Bruce Springsteen shows (plus assorted others); zip lining and communing with sloths, monkeys, and burglars in Costa Rica; cheering through countless

Yankees games; connecting with his many friends; and, more than anything, making each moment count. Jon had a great love for desig n and t y pog raphy, which he expressed through his graphic design studio and his letterpress business, which he often described as his “midlife crisis.” He listed his position at both businesses as “Owner/Janitor,” and amassed a collection of hundreds of pieces of wood type, thousands of pounds of paper, countless fonts, and several tons of limband-life-threatening printing presses. His eye for color was a regular point of contention between him and his wife Lauren, who couldn’t tell one slate blue from another, despite the fact that they were “obviously very different” according to Jon. Despite her obvious flaws, they loved each other deeply every day of their more than 20 years together. His great passions were Yankees baseball, live music (particularly Bruce Springsteen), thrashing friends in epic games of Words with Friends, and spending time with his family. Before his passing, his father Joel was his best friend and confidante. His mother Isabelle was his first great love, his unwavering supporter and his rock for each day of his 47 years. His greatest love was his adored son Sam. Watching Sam sing onstage, teaching him guitar and photography, going to concerts together and just sitting and talking about life — moments with Sam were the greatest joys of Jon’s life. Born and raised in New Jersey, Jon graduated from Peddie School, Emory University, and Portfolio Center. He is survived by his wife Lauren; his son Sam, 11; his mother Isabelle of Princeton; his uncle and aunt Paul and Barbara Mohl of Dallas; his brother-in-law Brett Shanahan, father-in-law John Shanahan and mother-inlaw Kathryn Shanahan. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made to the ALS -NY chapter.
