Sound familiar? Princeton University President Shirley Tilghman announced Saturday that, after 11 years leading Princeton, she will step down in June. During her tenure, Tilghman oversaw the addition of a residential college and a $1.88 billion fundraising campaign. “There is a natural rhythm to university presidencies,” Tilghman wrote. “ … [I]t is time for Princeton to turn to its 20th president to chart the path for the next decade and beyond.”

BEINECKE PLAZA HOSTS YALE ROTC’S HOMECOMING Yale celebrated ROTC’s return to campus with an official ceremony last Friday. For the first time since ROTC left in 1972, Beinecke Plaza was filled with Yale men and women who are simultaneously students and soldiers. Brass instruments blared to the tune of “Bright College Years,” and participants waved blue Yale handkerchiefs, rather than the traditional white; members of the U.S. military do not wave white flags.

Yale reexamines online ed role

BY JACQUELINE SAHLBERG STAFF REPORTER Several online education platforms that provide free course content from a host of partner universities, including Stanford, Harvard and Princeton, have exploded in global popularity over the past year. Even with its own long-established programs, Yale has refrained thus far from joining those new

ventures.

Now, administrators plan to reexamine how the University approaches online course offerings.

On Friday, Yale College Dean Mary Miller announced the formation of a committee on online education in an email to faculty members. Committee members will consider the future of Yale’s online courses by analyzing national trends and collecting feedback on the Universi-

The newest addition to Yale’s set of officers, Goff-Crews arrived in August to fill a position created by University President Richard Levin last January — in part to relieve duties from Vice President Linda Lorimer, who previously served as secretary as well. During her first two months in office, Goff-Crews met with student life administrators in Yale College, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and the 12 professional schools, as well as students from across the University, to identify issues in students’ day-to-day lives.

While Goff-Crews says she has not had enough conversations to develop specific goals and detail plans, she hopes to establish a list of student life priorities soon that focus on both graduate and undergraduate life.

Making theater, in 24 hours

BY ROBERT PECK STAFF REPORTER The Center for Engineering Innovation & Design held orientation sessions for 60 prospective members last week in an effort to reach out to the engineering community on campus.

In order to use the CEID, which opened Aug. 26 and houses classroom and research space, students must pass an online quiz about the center’s goals and regulations and also attend an orientation session about what resources are available and how to use them. Last week the center also hired three student aides, who will provide additional guidance to members throughout the semester as they use the facilities.

[The tour of CEID was] an experience closely approximating spirituality.

JERRY WANG ’13 As of Sunday night, 160 students had taken the CEID’s member quiz, and around that number have either already attended an orientation session or registered for an upcoming one, engineering professor and CEID Director Eric Dufresne said.

The Yale Drama Coalition held a 24-hour theater festival that culminated in the performances of three plays on Saturday.

BY CORTHAY SCHOCK CONTRIBUTING REPORTER Even before the first mainstage show of the new academic year goes up on Yale Repertory Theatre stage on Sept. 27, members of the theater community have already managed to create, produce and perform three shows — in just 24 hours.

From 8 p.m. on Friday to 8 p.m.

Saturday, the Yale Drama Coalition held a 24-hour theater festival, a project that culminated in the performances of three short

plays on Saturday night. In its second year, the 24-hour undertaking is intended to incorporate freshmen into theater at Yale and to create a “place of experimentation” in which refinement is not an option, said Irene Casey ’14, the head of the YDC. The theme given to the festival, “24 Hours And Change,” relates to the new school year, the change in season and the upcoming presidential race, Casey said, adding that the YDC chose the theme for its potential to be interpreted in a variety of

ways. “Change,” she said, reflected that creative license.

The 14 students participating were broken up into three groups, each comprising a writer, a director and two or three actors. The three writers were given the line “Change, please,” and a prop to incorporate into a 15- to 30-minute play. They had 12 hours to write. The writers passed their finished scripts off to the directors no later than 8 a.m.

FOR BUSINESS’

Tailgate Village’s dark side I

wonder what would happen if someone unfamiliar with American football were asked to speculate on what a “Student Tailgate Village” might be. Perhaps it’s one of those weird team-building corporate retreats for new employees. Or a fun, hip place where people can study outside, like an academic Disneyland. Or even that weird Swedish toy room at Ikea where kids can frolic while their parents shop.

Alas, it is an oddly conceived drinking pen for Yale undergraduates. Come Saturday, many of us will encounter the latest in a set of new alcoholrelated reforms: the Student Tailgate Village.

The Village — intended to provide a safer environment for students to tailgate — is a step in the wrong direction, for football games as well as for Yale’s larger social culture.

Now, some of the new tailgate rules are productive and necessary, such as the ban on vehicles. However, the drinking-related changes — the most important from a student’s perspective — could usher in a range of larger and assuredly dangerous problems.

THE STUDENT TAILGATE VILLAGE IS A RECIPE FOR DISASTER The Village’s strict 21-todrink enforcement (which exists, truly, nowhere else in New Haven) and kickoff closing time will, in practice, accomplish the opposite of Yale’s intentions, pushing drinking into dark, unregulated corners instead of fostering a safe environment for a collegiate inevitability.

To be sure, students of all ages will be drinking Saturday morning. If we are being honest with ourselves, with the state of Yale’s football team over the last few generations, the tailgate — in a Village or elsewhere — is in fact much more of a tradition than the game itself.

Unless Yale Police (or whoever is at the gate of the Village) is willing to accept that — out of sheer coincidence — there are a ton of kids from Delaware, Pennsylvania, Texas and Rhode Island who just happen to be visiting a friend that morning and do not have a Yale ID also saying they’re 21, most of us will not receive a wristband.

So, with tailgates out of the question, how will this drinking happen? If we follow the rationale that led to the creation of the Village, one would think that students will just

choose to forgo this choice or, at worst, craftily sneak a beer or two into the tailgate.

Any adminisHARRY trator with GRAVER the smallest insight into Gravely Yale student ingenuMistaken ity, though, has good reason to be skeptical that this will actually happen.

Instead, it seems much more likely that students will be heavily drinking in their suites in the early morning and chugging Jim Beam in Coke bottles on the ride over.

Yale administrators should not look to the Village — with all its features and activities — as the way to redefine tailgate culture. The most substantial change the Village brings is the addition of a vibrant pre-tailgate necessity, whose drinking practices — heavy, to last the tailgate, and quick, to compensate for its shortened schedule — will be exactly the antithesis of what Yale has striven to foster.

As a larger issue, the Village fits into a series of administrative changes that amount to a confusing shift in a previously pretty good overall stance on undergraduate drinking.

On one level, there is actually a lot to a name. I have felt ridiculous just having to write “Tailgate Village” so many times. In real terms, it has become either a punch line for students or an awkward demonstration that the administration is too distant to actually have a productive dialogue with students.

On another level, the Village is just another mixed signal to undergraduates on how Yale looks at drinking. At times, the University is (to its immense credit) quite progressive, allowing social life to exist responsibly without the cumbersome reach of resident advisors or overzealous campus police. But there is a growing trend of selective severity in disciplining the same behavior in different forums.

There is a lack of clarity on how Yale treats drinking, and this spit-and-glue method is creating the very circumstances that lead certain student behavior — the same behavior the University is most concerned about — to happen at a greater frequency. Despite its cheery veneer, this is the real nature of the Student Tailgate Village.

Profile of a SWUG B

y definition a SWUG is a senior washed-up girl, but I believe this explanation, given to us by Urban Dictionary, is inadequate. A SWUG, in reality, is so much more.

You’ve all met one. They’re usually at penny shots promptly at 11 p.m. come Wednesday night, and are then found in Durfee’s around 1 p.m. the next day, buying every liquid they can get their hands on.

I was jealous of them when I was a freshman. They were on a nickname basis with the hottest guys at Yale and danced at the bar of DKE with their shirts off.

But looking back on it, I realize the boys were trying to get with the freshmen, not the SWUGs. Like all things in life, time inevitably played its course. I got pushed out of my cozy corner of Bingham, and new, hotter, younger freshmen replaced me. I find myself saying things like, “My body can’t handle this,” and buying the gallon jug of water from G-Heav on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings. I don’t receive texts from boys unless you count my dad, and there is certainly no one who would want to date me.

A CLOSER LOOK AT SENIOR WASHEDUP GIRLS She’s the girl in the Zeta basement, before the Coach Reno era, who is biting into a can with her teeth to shotgun on a Sunday. Although she could never beat the Zeta boys in a shotgun, she can beat most ADPhi boys.

She’s the girl who knows the

code to get into DKE. She knows the code for ADPhi. (If any single senior girl has the key to Zeta, she may want to seek help.) Facebook bores her. She uses Facebook to find out different football players’ birthdays and plugs them into an astrology website to test their compatibility. She is compatible with no one.

She’s the girl who promised she would never hook up with someone younger than her but now finds herself texting sophomore boys who unavoidably turn her down. She thinks this is funny. She thinks about getting a vibrator; she may already have a vibrator. It may be better than that sophomore boy.

She doesn’t need to walk home late at night and chance getting mugged by a New Haven local because she will just sleep on a couch in one of the frats.

The late night crew at G-Heav knows to start making her an egg and cheese when they see her stumble through the door, and sometimes they will allow her to dance behind the counter and crack an egg herself. Again, they don’t do this for the young, hot, freshman girls — only SWUGs. She’s the girl who tells her

friends she is going to have a “friendship night.” When they ask what this means she explains she is going to make a guy want her and then turn him down.

She gets drunk and wakes up next to the guy she was going to turn down. She knows this will go nowhere, as she has already plugged his birthday into the compatibility website, and their score was a two. She makes up a short lie about a meeting and asks him to leave her room and then goes back to bed. She doesn’t return his texts. She’s a SWUG. She is the last one at every party, because hey — who is she going home with? She’s not afraid to dance on tables and knows the top floor of any frat always has the cleanest bathroom. She is wise. She is hot, whether the boys believe it or not. She doesn’t give a hoot.

She’s single because she wants to be; her daddy told her there’s more fish in the sea. She is a SWUG, and SWUG life is pretty awesome.

A vote is not a fashion statement “P

olitics” has always been the essence of boring. When kids and grownups sat at separate tables for dinner, the kids talked about video games and music and told dirty jokes that we thought our parents couldn’t hear. The parents, as far as the kids could, tell, never strayed from a single topic.

Politics.

One word seemed to encapsulate all the reasons Peter Pan refused to grow up. Mundane yet complex and largely devoid of explosions, politics was exactly the kind of thing a kid wanted to steer clear of. Like fine scotch, politics seemed something better left to adults.

That is, until 2008, when Barack Obama rallied the nation’s voting and nonvoting youth into a frenzy of adoration.

Gone was the stuffiness, the decided uncoolness of politics: Obama admitted to having done drugs, balled it up regularly and, most impressively, spoke about government in a way that we could almost understand.

Even we ignorant kids knew what a disaster the Bush years had been, and Obama’s booming message of change was simple and accessible. He had rap songs written about him, he had his face emblazoned on Shepard

Fairey’s immortal “Hope” poster and suddenly an Obama pin or T-shirt was a must-have backto-school accessory. If ever a politician were to be called hip, it was Mr. Obama. At once a brand and a movement, he was something everyone wanted to be a part of.

And when Election Day rolled around, he reaped the rewards.

According to a Tufts study, 2 million more voters aged 18-29 went to the polls in 2008 than in 2004. What’s more, they didn’t just vote: They voted Democratic. A Pew Research Group study showed Obama taking an unprecedented 32 percent lead amongst voters aged 18-29 on his way to the Oval Office.

Four years later, the promise that seemed too good to be true has proven just that. As much as we wanted Obama to walk on water, to effortlessly part the murky seas of Washington and bring about the change he promised, he has turned out to be mortal like the rest of us. Maybe Obama has underperformed; maybe Republican obstructionism has him stuck in the mud; maybe our hopes were unrealistic to begin with, even under the best of circumstances.

Regardless, we still face many of the same problems that we

wanted to leave behind in electing Obama. The economy is stagnant, Wall Street still has carte blanche, global warming may be accelerating and Washington’s partisan paralysis shows no signs of letting up.

The picture is bleak, and it is hard not to feel a twinge of disappointment that Obama has not been able to wave his magic wand and make it all disappear.

CARRY 2008 OBAMA FERVOR INTO NOVEMBER But there never was a magic wand. Perhaps young voters’ 2008 enthusiasm was fueled by some measure of naivety, our lionization of a man in whom we saw everything we wanted to see. It was so easy to jump on Obama’s bandwagon without a second thought; the whole thing was neatly prepackaged, a miracle cure for everything that ailed us, and we flaunted our “Change” pins and T-shirts with oblivious enthusiasm.

Obama was a label we rushed to wear.

But a vote is not a fashion

statement. Is the sheen of novelty all that drew us to the polls, or did we actually believe in what he had to say? Are the ideals we embraced in 2008 just so four years ago?

Much has been made of our generation’s shrinking attention span, and the upcoming election is going to be a critical litmus test of whether we bother to maintain our commitments. Beyond that, it’s going to be a test of whether we were ever committed at all. Come November, we will be forced to confront how much our dedication four years ago actually meant.

Was “Yes We Can” worth any more than “Just Do It?” Was Obama just a fad?

We will find out soon enough, and the answer will carry more than a little weight. Obama is the same candidate he was then, minus the new-car smell. Given Mitt Romney’s recent comments regarding government dependency, the lines are just as clear as they were in 2008.

Whether American youth will stick around for the second act remains to be seen.

Yale’s true public servants

YALE DAILY NEWS PUBLISHING CO., INC. 202 York Street, New Haven, CT 06511 (203) 432-2400 Editorial: (203) 432-2418 editor@yaledailynews.com Business: (203) 432-2424 business@yaledailynews.com EDITOR IN CHIEF Max de La Bruyère

So now that I dabble in being categorized as a SWUG, I feel that it is necessary to take the time to understand what this term truly means.

SWUG. She’s the girl who Kevin, the bartender at Toad’s, hugs when she stumbles in Wednesday night. She’ll dance like no one’s looking. She’s a SWUG. She doesn’t care. Tommy at Box 63 and Compadre at Amigos will both give her free shots on occasion; they are not doing this for freshman girls — only for SWUGs.

T

he ROTC cadets really stand out in their uniforms. Eight Navy candidates ate dinner in Davenport on Friday. Their whites contrasted with the dining hall’s oak paneling. You simply had to notice them.

There are not many cadets on campus, but their distinctiveness makes their presence known.

That’s a good thing. They give the rest of us some much-needed perspective.

Advocates for ROTC’s return to Yale focused on two groups that would benefit from the program’s return: the cadets and the military.

Students interested in service no longer need to commute to other campuses, a grueling burden on top of a selfless commitment. And the military will certainly be better off with Yale-educated officers.

Less recognized is the positive effect the cadets’ presence has on us, their peers.

I have written in these pages before about how athletes — at their ideal — represent stores of character. They remind us that, in a world of “me, me, me,” there are some who sacrifice self for a team.

The soccer player who practices but barely sees the field stands in

stark contrast to the resumépadders and self-promoters — the rest of us. And, yes, I’m talking about athletes NATHANIEL at their best, is often ZELINSKY which different from what we see on On Point campus.

The ROTC candidates embody that ideal of selflessness — and more. Cadets have chosen to live a different Yale experience, one that involves more work and less play. They subject themselves to personal discipline and extra course work, limiting their potential extracurriculars and God knows what else. I am in awe of their commitment.

A little anecdote too cutely illustrates my point: I planned on attending the ROTC ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday morning.

Well, one too many drinks Thursday night … and I was reluctant to leave bed come sunup. I slept in, missing the event. Cadets certainly couldn’t have made that

choice, on Friday or any other time.

But those resplendent ROTC candidates in Davenport represent something more than mere selflessness — they stand for service to this country.

ROTC CADETS STAND FOR THE BEST OF YALE We constantly hear about Yale becoming a global university. The percentage of international students keeps rising. In the process, we have all but abandoned Yale’s role of providing future leaders for these United States. It’s déclassé to suggest that American values exist, let alone that we — as a university — should uphold those values. We no longer send graduates to the CIA and the State Department in droves. Instead, we mint investment bankers and consultants and global citizens, whatever that means. And the coun-

try suffers when her most promising, most talented, most educated desert her.

Cadets are different. In their first moments on campus, they took an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic … to bear true faith and allegiance to the same.” Those words give me chills.

They tap back into a Yale tradition of public service. Not the Teach for America kind. Not the “I work for a sexy NGO” kind. Their oath stands for service to the nation — the kind of service that sometimes demands Lincoln’s last full measure of devotion.

I’m humbled by the two ROTC programs and their cadets. It is easy for me to take to these pages and criticize members this community for their disdain of America. It is much harder to walk the walk, as a score of young Yalies has.

All I can say to them is “Thank you.”

SOM adds new career services for alumni

BY DANIEL SISGOREO STAFF REPORTER In an effort to boost its career service offerings, the School of Management is partnering with a third-party organization to provide job counseling to alumni.

The majority of career services previously offered were designed for current students or created on an ad hoc basis when an alum returned to the school for career advice, said Julien Mininberg ’86 SOM ’90, the president of the SOM alumni association. The SOM career development office will now work with the Ayers Group, an organization that offers career transition services, to help alumni who are moving between jobs, career development head Julia Zupko said.

The new service, which SOM rolled out last spring and announced this summer, came after the SOM alumni association determined that SOM was failing to assist alumni with career matters as well as its competitors, Mininberg said.

Zupko said counseling sessions with the Ayers Group can be scheduled after an inhouse consultation with SOM’s career department. She said she expects the primary users of the new service to be older alumni who have been in the workforce for 10 to 15 years, adding that the Group has a global presence and thus can effectively assist alumni working and searching for new careers abroad.

The new service follows several other recent additions the range of career service offerings for alumni, Zupko said, including the creation of an SOM LinkedIn community and a more active Web portal, Mininberg said the school is “catching up to its peers in a very impressive way” with the new partnership with the Ayers Group.

Zupko, as well as career services staff interviewed at other business schools, said economic trends nationwide have increased the demand for career

services among alumni in recent years.

“I’ve been in career development now for over 10 years, and when you start to look at what’s changed over the last 10 years, it’s the economy, and people don’t stay in jobs for as long as they used to,” Zupko said.

“You have more people needing resources and looking to their schools for help.”

Ron Peracchio, the career development head at MIT Sloan School of Management, said improvements in the national economy since the 2008 financial downturn may be responsible for an increase in older business school alumni seeking career services.

“Now that the market is starting to get better, we’re seeing a lot of alums come back who have a job and are thinking, ‘Oh, it’s time for me to start pursuing something else,’” Peracchio said.

Pat Demasters, the head of career development at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, said her office has probably seen slightly more alumni returning to the school for career help this past year than in each of the past four, adding that she attributes the rise to the recovering economy.

Mininberg said the counseling services provided by Ayers will be particularly appealing for SOM alumni because of the school’s reputation for bringing together students from multiple sectors rather than just the private sector.

“This is not like a Wharton, where everyone goes to Wall Street,” Mininberg said. “This is a world where people come from the private sector, the government sector, from not-for-profit organizations.”

According to statistics supplied by the school, 90 percent of SOM alumni from the class of 2011 took jobs in the private sector, 9 percent in the nonprofit sector and 1 percent in the private sector.

New Haven is known as a city of many burrito options. The impending arrival of national Mexican food chain Chipotle is causing great excitment among some students, but others worry that it will harm the city’s local burrito vendors and other small businesses.

BY JOSEPH TISCH CONTRIBUTING REPORTER Ow n e r- m a n a ge r S h a r i f Farouq’s Tomatillo Taco Joint has been open for just three months on Elm Street, but in just three more months, Farouq and other New Haven burrito vendors may face their toughest competition yet.

In the wake of last week’s news that a Chipotle Mexican Grill will open on Chapel Street in early 2013, many local burrito carts and restaurants are concerned about their ability to compete with the national chain. Their customers, meanwhile, are split between excitement about Chipotle’s arrival and apprehension about the chain’s potential to change the Elm City’s burrito landscape.

“That’s not good news,” Farouq said upon learning that Chipotle was coming to town.

But he said he remained confident in his small business’s

ability to provide a better dining experience than Chipotle, which he described as “very standard.” He added that Tomatillo’s advantages over the chain include daily fresh food, seafood, smoothies, specials and desserts.

Rony Nabas, a vendor in Rubamba’s Ay! Arepa cart on York Street, said his low prices would help him stay competitive when Chipotle arrives.

Down the block, Israel Perez just opened his burrito cart, the Portabello, two weeks ago. He says business has been good so far, and he is currently trying to find a small storefront location nearby.

“I don’t think [Chipotle] will affect us,” he said. “It’s a different flavor.” He said he will even eat at Chipotle himself, and he knows that his customers also like to “try here and there.”

While some Yale community members expressed their enthusiasm for Chipotle, others feared the effects of another chain’s

presence in New Haven. In a survey of 16 Yale student burrito eaters, nine said they would prefer supporting a local business to eating at Chipotle.

In line at Perez’s cart, Lukas Moe GRD ’17, a self-described frequent burrito eater, said he was concerned by Chipotle’s upcoming debut in New Haven.

It’s a corporate takeover …

We should be careful about bringing in the biggest chains in the country.

LUKAS MOE GRD ’17 “It’s a corporate takeover,” he said, “For a city that has so many small, independent restaurants, we should be careful about bringing in the biggest chains in the country.”

Waiting to order at Ay! Arepa, Sean Gaudette ’14 said he disliked Chipotle for its “fast-food vibe,” adding that its location on the far side of the New Haven Green was inconvenient for him.

Others, like Jared Katzman ’16, cannot wait to have Chipotle nearby. Katzman said he is a Chipotle fanatic, adding that the first solid food meal he ate after the removal of his wisdom teeth was a Chipotle burrito.

Less than a block away from the construction site of the new Chipotle, Shake Shack manager Anna Monaco said she looked forward to having another nearby lunch option.

“Bringing more easy dining options is never a bad thing unless [they] … overrun a neighborhood.”

Chipotle currently operates more than 1,000 restaurants nationwide.

Poverty rose in Connecticut in 2011

BY PATRICK CASEY CONTRIBUTING REPORTER

TOMAS ALBERGO/CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER

The School of Management is partnering with a third party to provide career counseling services for alumni.

The percentage of Connecticut residents living in poverty rose in 2011.

The American Community Survey, an annual report released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau, showed that last year 10.9 percent of Connecticut residents earned incomes below the federal poverty line, up from 10.1 percent in 2010. The increase is statistically significant, according to Connecticut Voices for Children, an independent research and advocacy organization that analyzes and tracks the ACS survey each year. Nationally, the poverty rate is 15.9 percent, above Connecticut’s overall rate, but far below that of New Haven, where 30.1 percent of residents fell below the federal poverty line in 2011.

“We need to redouble our efforts to reverse these damaging trends by raising the floor for low-wage jobs through a minimum wage increase and avoiding state budget cuts that could plunge more children and families into poverty,” said Jamey Bell, the executive director at Connecticut Voices for Children, in a Sept. 20 press release.

The report highlighted the poverty rate among children and families, which proved a particularly weak point for Connecticut

this year. The child poverty rate in the state rose to 14.9 percent in 2011 from 12.8 percent in 2010, the fifth-sharpest increase of any state. In New Haven, 41.4 percent of residents under the age of 18 were below the federal poverty level in 2011. City Hall spokeswoman Elizabeth Benton ’04 said the city is taking proactive steps to ensure that children receive proper nutrition despite the financial difficulties many face.

“New Haven Public Schools provide universal free lunches and breakfasts to students regardless of their income level in an effort to assure that all children have access to healthy and nutritious food,” Benton said, adding that education, housing and prenatal health initiatives are other ways

the city is dealing with child poverty.

We need to redouble our efforts to reverse these damaging trends.

JAMEY BELL Executive director, Connecticut Voices for Children Ward 22 Alderwoman Jeanette Morrison, meanwhile, said the poverty statistics highlight the importance of the city’s attempts to boost employment prospects for residents through New Haven Hires, a new “jobs pipeline” program.

“How do you train people and assess people in their needs, train them, and connect them to a good job? Because so often, there are programs in the community that will train a person, at the end of the training give them a certificate, and the only thing the certificate really is good for is to be a placemat,” Morrison said. “The whole purpose of that is really connecting to actual jobs.”

Connecticut has a median household income of $65,753, the fourth-highest of any state. New Haven, however, has a median household income of only $33,526.

Of Connecticut’s eight largest cities, only Hartford’s is lower.

FROM THE FRONT Committee plans next steps online ONLINE EDUCATION FROM PAGE 1 standing teaching of Yale faculty without diminishing the experience for our matriculated Yale College students or diverting the efforts of the faculty,” Miller wrote in the Friday email.

Psychology professor and committee co-chair Paul Bloom said he hopes its members, who met for the first time on Friday afternoon, can submit recommendations to Miller by the end of 2012. Music professor Craig Wright, Bloom’s fellow co-chair, said the committee will discuss a variety of new options for digital education at Yale, including partnerships with existing online education platforms and an expansion of online forcredit courses to the academic year.

[The future of online education at Yale] is a hard problem and the answer is not obvious.

PAUL BLOOM Co-chair, Yale Online Education Committee Outgoing University President Richard Levin told the News in August that online education policy will be one of the biggest challenges faced by his successor. In advance of that transition, the new committee will attempt to determine what direction Yale will take moving forward.

“Online teaching is getting very big and important,” Bloom said. “[The future of online education at Yale] is a hard problem and the answer is not obvious.

We are considering everything we can consider.”

NEW PLATFORMS EMERGE

One online education hub that has garnered significant media attention is Coursera, an interactive online education platform that offers free massive online open courses (MOOCs) from many universities and reached 1.3 million globally since launching six months ago. Coursera, which was named one of Time Magazine’s Best 50 Websites in 2012, announced last Wednesday an expansion from 16 international partner institutions to 33, including Brown, Columbia, Penn and Princeton.

Daphne Koller, Coursera cofounder and a computer science professor at Stanford, said the increasing demand for higher education worldwide and the site’s ability to share technology among universities will help the start-up to keep growing. She said Coursera’s model provides “benefits” not possible through Yale’s individual school format, including the opportunity to collaborate with other universities about course content and technological advances in digital education.

“We are at a point where the technology is really right and mature enough that we can provide a high quality education through an electronic medium,” Koller explained. “Universities gain a tremendous amount from the ability to interact with peer institutions in a changing [online space].”

Koller declined to comment on whether Coursera has been in communication with administrators at Yale.

EdX, another popular online higher education hub, was launched by Harvard and MIT in May. UC Berkeley has since joined the initiative, which recorded 155,000 registrations for its first course that ended in June, according to an article in the Wall Street Journal this month.

As opportunities in online education continue to evolve, universities across the coun-

try are exploring the best ways to utilize online education. In August, Stanford created the position of vice provost for online learning and appointed computer science professor John C. Mitchell to the job. The role, Mitchell said, is designed to help faculty experiment with online learning opportunities that are currently offered across the university’s three platforms: Coursera, Class2Go and VentureLab. “The potential to improve education through these tools is tremendous, but it remains to be seen where we will end up over time,” Mitchell explained.

A LONG HISTORY

While other universities’ online initiatives have received more attention as of late, the University’s new committee has a long history of digital education at Yale to draw upon in considering its future direction.

“Coursera and EdX have captured attention because they are presented as something new,” said Diana Kleiner, founding project director and principal investigator for Open Yale Courses and a member of the new committee. “Yale has been a leader in this field for over a decade. It has to take stock of where it is and decide where it wants to go.”

The University became an early leader in online education when it launched the Alliance for Lifelong Learning (AllLearn) in partnership with Stanford and Oxford in 2001. Kleiner said the project, which was funded

by Yale, aimed to provide programming to alumni at a low cost. Although administrators hoped to expand the program to the general public, they were unable to develop a sustainable business model. When initiative was discontinued in 2006, AllLearn President Kristin Kim said 11,000 students from at least 70 countries had taken courses.

Later that year, Kleiner launched Open Yale Courses with financial independence from the University through a grant from William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. The project has expanded from seven courses in 2007 to 42 in 2012.

As of this April, the website had received more than 3.2 million unique visitors from almost every country in the world.

In the summer of 2011, Yale launched its first online courses for undergraduate credit through Yale Summer Session Online, which Wright mentioned as an initiative that could warrant expansion in the future.

High interest levels and positive feedback from professors and students encouraged Yale to expand the online offerings to eight classes in the summer of 2012, and Dean of Summer Session and Special Programs William Whobrey said he anticipates the University will offer about 12 online courses next summer.

Wright, who taught “How to Listen to Classical Music” during Yale Summer Session Online in 2012, called the program a “complete game changer” for online education that was “radically different” from what other universities are offering, as it brings students and professors together in real time. In his class, students spending the summer in Turkey, China, Paris, London and Washington D.C. came together online to sing major scales.

Wright said he expects the committee’s work will be only a first step in determining Yale’s future in digital education.

“The issues are many and they are complex,” he said in an email.

“This is an ongoing process, and although this may be Yale’s first faculty committee of this sort, likely it will not be the last.”

New VP to ease Levin departure GOFF-CREWS FROM PAGE 1 to understand and present the student point of view to the officers — the University’s highest-ranked administrators — and the Yale Corporation. As secretary, Goff-Crews said she considers herself a “steward of tradition” — charged with coordinating annual ceremonial events such as the freshman assembly and Commencement. In keeping with the secretary duties that she inherited from Lorimer, Goff-Crews will also serve as liaison to the Yale Corporation.

Levin said he had his own eventual departure in mind when he appointed Goff-Crews to her new role.

“It is clear that when I appointed her to the secretary’s job, it was understood she would be here during a transition.

Although I didn’t know at that point [when it would be], I knew it would be in the next few years,” Levin said. “The secretary’s role with the Corporation will give her special responsibility to make sure any transition works well.”

Rather than focusing her efforts on one specific school, Goff-Crews said she aims to work on issues that affect all students and to make sure undergraduates, graduate students and professional students have opportunities to meet each other. In her previous role as vice president for campus life at the University of Chicago, Goff-Crews overhauled student health services and specifically targeted mental health offerings. She cited health services as one cross-cutting issue she could address at Yale as well.

Kimberly Goff-Crews ’83 LAW ’86 serves as secretary and vice president for student life.

Within Yale College, Goff-Crews said she will mainly provide advice to Dean Mary Miller and Dean of Student Affairs Marichal Gentry on their request.

Though Goff-Crews oversees student affairs administrators across the University, Miller and Gentry do not report directly to her.

Miller said she is currently “working on getting to know” Goff-Crews and developing an agenda of projects on which the two can collaborate.

Goff-Crews said she has been meeting with undergraduate student leaders to identify their concerns. She recently attended a meeting of the Undergraduate Organizations Committee, and plans to meet with the Yale College Council

this week. Goff-Crews added that she is excited to work with the many student organizations on campus, which she said have expanded in “depth and breadth” since she graduated from Yale College in 1983.

Yale College Council President John Gonzalez ’14 said he hopes to work with Goff-Crews on a schoolwide voter registration effort this fall in anticipation of the presidential election in November.

Goff-Crews served as assistant dean and director of the Afro-American Cultural Center from 1992-’98.

YDC hosts ‘24 Hour Theater’ 24 HOURS FROM PAGE 1 12 hours to rehearse. “[The project] can be very intense, but on the other hand it’s very low-pressure in some ways because everyone knows you have had a limited amount of time,” Casey said.

Casey noted that of the 14 participants, about half were freshmen, who are one of the event’s main targets.

“It’s a great way for freshmen to be able to meet other people in the theater community and sort of bond as a team,” said Ali Viterbi ’14, one of the YDC board’s event coordinators.

The three plays inlcuded two love stories and one work that functions as a missing scene from Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.”

Ilana Strauss ’14 said she spent about four and a half hours writing “Hamlet’s Missing Scene,” which was directed by

Irene Casey. Strauss crafted the play as a comedic piece, infusing the Bard’s landscape with a variety of historical references along with an Irish pirate and a leprechaun. Strauss even rewrote the opening lines of Hamlet’s famous soliloquy, “To be, or not to be,” as “To pee, or not to pee,” a question the Danish prince asks himself as he weighs the pros and cons of such an act.

“It was an opportunity to not have to worry about doing all the editing you’re supposed to do,” Strauss said.

The actors and director of Strauss’ play began blocking the show at 2 p.m., 18 hours into the project. With two hours until showtime, they reconvened in the Davenport-Pierson Theater to begin final rehearsals. The question of going off book or not was still up in the air at 6 p.m.

The theater was packed when the shows opened at 8 p.m., kicking off with Thomas Yabroff’s ’16 “Post,” which cen-

ters on the letters a couple exchanges with one another.

The final play, “No More Than a Boy”

by Julian Wise ’14 and directed by Malina Buturovik ’16, combined a series of monologues and short scenes. A more serious piece that involved more than twice as many characters as there were actors, “No More Than a Boy” tested the audience’s ability to remember which character was which.

Actress Jen Kramer ’14 said the project was a great way to meet other people.

Annemarie McDaniel ’16, who came to see the shows on Saturday night, said she thought the performances were impressive for the amount of time that was given to writing and rehearsing.

The YDC plans to host another 24-hour theater festival next semester.

Design center sessions draw crowds

KAMARIA GREENFIELD/PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR

The new Center for Engineering Innovation and Design, which opened this August, is located on the first floor of the Becton Center.

DESIGN CENTER FROM PAGE 1 “We’re delighted with the number of students who have already come [for orientation sessions] and plan to come in the near future,” Dufresne said.

SEAS Deputy Dean Vincent Wilczynski told the News earlier this month that he believes the CEID will attract more freshmen and sophomores to engineering majors.

During the orientation sessions, which began last Tuesday and typically last for about 45 minutes, Assistant CEID Director Joseph Zinter ENG ’11 shows students the center’s laboratory equipment, tools and meeting spaces, Dufresne said, adding that he and Zinter emphasize the importance of safe practices. He also said the groups are capped at 15 students each to enable participation.

As the center’s popularity grows,

Dufresne said he plans to hire a total of six student aides to help train new members, plan activities and maintain the center’s equipment. The student aides will organize a variety of activities, including lectures, workshops and networking events, he said. Though these six student aides will all be undergraduates, he added that he hopes to eventually acquire funding to hire graduate student staff as well.

All 12 students interviewed who are planning to use the facilities said they are excited by the opportunities the center offers. Jean Zheng ENG ’14 said she expects the center’s community environment to improve her research and efficiency, adding that it was clear to her that a lot of work had gone into making the facility both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Mechanical engineering major Jerry Wang ’13, who attended an orientation on Wednesday, called the tour of the

center “an experience closely approximating spirituality” for those excited by the prospect of STEM programming.

“The center is simply marvelous,” he said. “There’s no getting away from that.”

Mechanical engineering major Chase Young ’13 said he believes CEID creates an opportunity for interdisciplinary cooperation that was not possible before the center’s creation, adding that he hopes student groups and administrators will actively seek out ways to make use of the facilities.

The three student aides hired thus far are Stephen Hall ’14 and Jan Kolmas ’14, who are majoring in mechanical engineering, and Ellen Su ’13, who is majoring in art.

Rock gym gives Yale climbers a new home

CONNECTICUT ROCK GYM

Connecticut Rock Gym on Winchester Avenue, above, was the home of the Yale Climbing Team until it closed for financial reasons last fall. A new gym, City Climb, opened in the same location over the weekend.

BY SEBASTIAN MEDINA-TAYAC CONTRIBUTING REPORTER New Haven’s only rock climbing gym, City Climb, officially opened Sunday afternoon, attracting local youth and the Yale Climbing Team to its facilities.

City Climb is located in the same building on Winchester Avenue used by the YCT’s former gym, Connecticut Rock Gym, before it closed for financial reasons last fall. Since then, YCT members have had to use another gym outside the city, which hurt the team’s unity and practice regimen, said Andrew Calder ’13, the team’s captain. With the opening of City Climb, the club team can truly start up again.

“Commuting effectively put the team on a hiatus, as very few team members were able to commute for half an hour to the gym in Fairfield,” Calder said.

Owners Crystal and Dmitry Tananykin began renovations on the old Connecticut Rock Gym facility a few months ago, resurfacing the walls and replacing the handholds to bring the walls to higher standard, City Climb’s gym manager Matt Loter said.

“The renovated facility looks great — there are a ton of new holds,” Calder said.

Loter said he has worked at most rock climbing gyms in the state — including Connecticut Rock Gym — and met Calder and other YCT members at other

gyms. He said he worked hard to maintain a strong relationship with YCT, even allowing the team to practice a few times on the walls this month before the gym opened to the public and offering student discounts.

The gym’s proximity to campus will make the team both stronger and more unified, YCT member Halley Kaye-Kauderer ’15 said.

Because of the gym’s location and cooperation with its managers to create flexible hours, Kaye-Kauderer said, the team’s more casual members who are not training for competitions will have more opportunities to attend practice.

Now, at least one head and one assistant captain will be present at the gym every afternoon

between Monday and Thursday, allowing climbers to come and train as rigorously or as casually as they would like.

City Climb’s outreach has also motivated climbers from other New Haven schools. University of New Haven freshman Patrick Rushmore came to the opening Sunday with some classmates to explore the possibility of starting up a climbing team for their school. The gym will also work on reaching out to the Yale community through channels other than YCT. Loter said he intends to work with the Yale School of Management by having workshops to teach corporate-style teambuilding activities to its students.

As it courts clients, the City

Climb management is also working to balance the birthday party crowd — catered to with the gym’s cartoon wall adornments — and serious climbers who can take advantage of the gym’s more difficult walls. While Sunday’s opening event featured face paint and birthday cake, an unofficial opening Saturday night attracted more experienced adult climbers, including YCT members, many of whom registered for memberships. Climbers waited in line for more than five hours to get a special opening membership price of $199 for the year.

Crystal Tananykin, Loter’s husband, said the pair was inspired to start up the gym because they felt that the com-

munity was missing something after Connecticut Rock Gym closed.

“It was just sitting there empty.

We felt a void because it was such a large part of this area,” Tananykin said.

In addition to the top-rope rock climbing walls, the gym has a bouldering room for lower-lateral climbing and offers a variety of fitness programs in the space, including Krav Maga, yoga, kung fu and Pilates.

The gym is located at 342 Winchester Ave., just past Science Park.

Opposition leaders discuss Indian economy

BY DHRUV AGGARWAL CONTRIBUTING REPORTER Two politicians from India’s leading opposition parties spoke on a panel Sunday afternoon about the numerous socioeconomic issues confronting their country.

Arun Jaitley, leader of the opposition in the Upper House of India’s parliament, and Nand Kishore Singh, another opposition and Upper House member, spoke at a session in Luce Hall moderated by Steven Wilkinson, director of undergraduate studies for the Ethics, Politics and Economics Program. In front of roughly 50 students, faculty and members of New Haven’s Indian community, the two discussed the possible negative consequences of the Indian government’s economic policies.

Taking aim at a recent decision by the government to allow foreign direct investment in the retail sector, Jaitley called the reforms a “knee-jerk reaction” by a prime minister who has “skated along on past reforms.” Jaitley accused the administration of not building political consensus or consulting the opposition about the investment reform. Singh went further, arguing that the government had the wrong priorities and was “breaking the social compact and social consensus” by not enacting reforms supported by the opposition.

After discussing the controversial foreign

direct investment policy, the two shifted their focus to issues of emigration and internal relocation in India. Singh defended people’s right to move as they like, and warned against “artificial impediments to moving from one place to another.” He said the “asymmetry” between an aging West and young, populated countries like India would only spur emigration from the younger nations.

When a student later expressed concern about potentially unequal economic development in India, Singh responded that the country’s Gini coefficient — an indicator of income inequality — suggests that inequality has not increased in rural or urban areas over the past 15 years.

The discussion was somewhat one-sided due to the absence of Salman Khurshid, India’s minister of law and a member of the ruling party, who had to cancel his scheduled appearance because of an imminent cabinet reshuffling in New Delhi. Singh and Jaitley were at Yale as part of a tour of American universities that includes Stanford and Columbia.

The event was organized by the South Asian Studies Council, the Yale India Initiative and the South Asian Society.

THE DARTMOUTH

Vice President Joe Biden speaks at Dartmouth

BY MICHAEL RIORDAN STAFF WRITER Vice President Joe Biden encouraged a crowd of 1,300 students and Upper Valley residents to support President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign in a rally held on the lawn of Cutter-Shabazz Hall on Friday.

In a speech largely focused on expanding access to higher education for young Americans, Biden said that the United States must improve education opportunities in order to compete in the global economy.

“None of us would be standing here today if someone did not reach out and give us a hand in the form of a scholarship or loan,” Biden said.

Republican presidential nominee former Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Mass., does not believe that the government should play an active role in funding public education, according to Biden.

His running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., has consistently proposed budget cuts to public education programs, Biden said, stating that a Romney administration would “eviscerate” public education Romney’s recent remarks disparaging 47 percent of Americans who are dependent on government assistance highlight the philosophical differences between the two parties, according to Biden.

“How can he be so profoundly wrong about America?” Biden said.

The Republican ticket’s posi-

tions are consistent with t h e p a rty’s worldview that America DARTMOUTH has adopted a culture of dependency, Biden said. Romney does not realize, however, that a wide range of Americans, including middle-class families and students who take out loans, rely on government programs, he said.

“This is not a country of victims,” Biden said. “It has never, ever been a good bet to bet against the American people.”

Biden drew cheers from the crowd when he referred to the Democratic Party’s liberal position on social issues, including gay marriage and women’s reproductive health rights. Romney’s potential Supreme Court nominees would support curbing minorities’ civil liberties and overturning Roe v. Wade, Biden said.

“This is not your father’s Republican Party,” Biden said.

A second Obama administration would end the current war in Afghanistan, Biden said, while claiming that Romney has not adopted a coherent foreign policy.

In her opening remarks, Second Lady Jill Biden argued that the election is especially important for women. The Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, a bill that protects female workers from salary inequities, and the

administration’s commitment to protecting female reproductive rights should motivate women to support the president, she said.

First Lady of New Hampshire Susan Lynch introduced the vice president and his wife and said that New Hampshire could potentially decide the winner of the presidential election.

Lynch said that her experience working at DartmouthHitchcock Medical Center raised her awareness of issues related to health care affordability and delivery. The Obama administration is committed to expanding health care coverage and assisting the “most vulnerable in society,” she said.

Robert Avruch ’11, Obama for America regional field director for Grafton and Sullivan Counties, delivered remarks before the event and said that he had personally benefited from the Obama administration’s reformed student loan repayment program, which reduced his monthly student loan payment from $500 to $98.

“He’s fighting for us,” he said.

“He believes that no matter who you are — your religion, your socioeconomic status or your sexual orientation — that there is a place for you in America.”

Students who attend college in New Hampshire should register to vote in the state, Avruch said.

New Hampshire residents interviewed at the rally said they attended the event because they wanted to hear from Biden in person.

Lin Hill, director of the awards program at Practice Greenhealth, a nonprofit devoted to promoting sustainable reforms in the health care sector, said she wanted to talk to Biden about revising the No Child Left Behind Act. “Resources are currently not going to accelerated students,” Hill said. “Provisions need to be added so that schools can provide for them.”

Government funding is only mandated for programs that assist underperforming and underprivileged students, she said. If a provision that allocates resources to high-achieving students were added to the No Child Left Behind Act, funds would be better distributed among all students, according to Hill.

“We need to keep America on the cutting edge,” Hill said.

The next president must focus on how to improve the nation’s position in the world community, P.J. Tierney, an Episcopal priest and author of “Theocracy: Can Democracy Survive Fundamentalism?” said.

Before the event, Chaplain Richard Crocker delivered an invocation, and local firefighter Brian Rapp led the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance. The Dartmouth Aires performed the national anthem after earlier performing three songs before the other speakers took the stage.

The event marked Biden’s 13th trip to New Hampshire since the start of his vice-presidency and his sixth of the year, according to an Obama campaign press release.

Suu Kyi emphasizes youth activism

Tilghman to step down in June

BY SAMANTHA COONEY STAFF WRITER Renowned Burmese dissident Daw Aung San Suu Kyi took the stage at the Columbia World Leaders Forum Saturday afternoon with a clear message: Young people are key in bringing about political change.

Students filled the rotunda of Low Library to listen to Suu Kyi’s discussion with NBC News correspondent Ann Curry on why the success of Myanmar’s youth is vital to the ongoing fight to rid the country of the heavy influence of its military and repair its underdeveloped economy.

“We all forget that the most special resource of any country is its human resource,” she said.

“Young people who are ill-educated, in ill health, who have lost hope, are a danger to the country.”

Suu Kyi was a political prisoner on and off for nearly 15 years from 1989 to 2010. She told Curry that she kept active during her time under house arrest by listening to the radio and meditating.

“I think I was the healthiest prisoner of conscience in the world,” she said.

In 2012, following the dissolution of Burma’s military junta — which ruled for nearly 40 years — Suu Kyi was elected to the Myanmar parliament.

A former Manhattan resident, Suu Kyi was on her first trip to the United States in over 40 years. She stressed that improving her nation’s education system would be essential to motivating Burmese youth.

“We need so much help to bring our young people up to the standard that has been achieved in other countries,” she said.

Her message resonated with students in attendance. Roger Li, CC ’15, wrote about Suu Kyi in one of his application essays to Columbia and tutored political refugees as a high school student.

“Hearing her makes me want to do more,” he said.

In a question-and-answer session that followed the discussion, one student asked whether the efforts of young people would be taken seriously. Suu

Kyi insisted that there was no right or wrong time to get involved in activism.

“If you COLUMBIA believe in the cause to which we are working, no age is right,” Suu Kyi said.

University President Lee Bollinger, in his introduction, quoted Václav Havel, the first president of the Czech Republic, who spent eight weeks as an artist in residence at Columbia in 2006. A political dissident himself, Havel wrote of Suu Kyi in the Washington Post, “I would like to meet her and give her a rose like the one she is seen holding in a photograph in my study.”

Bollinger relayed his memory of Havel’s stay at Columbia and presented Suu Kyi with a white rose at the close of his introductory remarks.

Bollinger said, “Let me celebrate the recent progress in your home country and welcome you to Columbia by following Havel’s wish, and by doing that simple, and now easy, thing to do that was unjustly forbidden to our great mutual friend.”

Registration for World Leaders Forum events is notoriously difficult, but Curry noted that the discussion with Suu Kyi set a record, filling up 34 minutes after registration opened.

When the hour was up, Suu Kyi told students who had not had time to ask their questions that they should email her. Curry quipped, “I think maybe an email from Aung San Suu Kyi might be worth not having had an opportunity to answer your question here today.”

Though Suu Kyi spoke about reform efforts in Myanmar, some students felt the message was universal.

“The message wasn’t specific to Burma,” Weyu Shameka Hodge, BC ’13, said. “You can inspire youth anywhere.”

“We have to live our life with integrity. It’s something that we forget to do on a day-to-day basis, especially living in New York,” Keren Baruch, BC ’13, said. “We have to remember who we are and what we believe.”

BY TEDDY SCHLEIFER NEWS EDITOR Shirley Tilghman, the University’s 19th president whose on-campus, activist pushes drew both the lavish praise and ire of the University community, announced Saturday that she will step down this June after 12 years as president.

Tilghman announced her departure in an email to the student body after informing the University Board of Trustees at their meeting on Friday night.

The trustees learned the news for the first time this weekend, though Tilghman told Kathryn Hall ’80, the chair of the board, about her plans to retire prior to Friday’s meeting. Hall and Tilghman both said the board had encouraged Tilghman to stay on as president. Tilghman plans to finish out the year and then take a year leave, partially in London, before returning to the faculty.

Tilghman led several major University initiatives after being picked from the faculty ranks to lead the school in 2001.

From Nassau Hall, Tilghman expanded the residential college system with the addition of Whitman College, launched and completed the five-year, $1.88 billion Aspire capital campaign, created the Lewis Center of the Arts, fought an ultimately victorious battle to establish an Arts and Transit Neighborhood and recently banned freshmen from rushing Greek organizations.

On Saturday, Tilghman told The Daily Princetonian in an interview that she had “no big regrets” about her tenure, though she noted that she had certainly made mistakes.

“Would I like to take those mistakes back? Of course I’d like to take those mistakes back. But was there a single day where I thought, PRINCETON ‘Gee, I could be back in the lab doing cool science instead of sitting here in this office’? There wasn’t a single day I had that thought,” Tilghman said.

Tilghman’s announcement came as a surprise after previous indications she had no plans to retire in the near future.

In an interview with the ‘Prince’ in February, Tilghman said she had no immediate plans to retire, walking back earlier statements that she planned to retire at the conclusion of the Aspire campaign, which ended this summer.

Hall will lead the search for Tilghman’s successor. The search committee will include nine trustees, four representatives from the faculty, two undergraduate representatives, a staff member and a graduate student. University Vice President and Secretary Robert Durkee ’69, who will staff the search committee, said the nine trustees on the committee are decided but declined to name them. The undergraduate representatives, he said, will be decided in consultation with the USG. Durkee, who has served under four University presidents, said immediately following the announcement the retirement was “largely unexpected.”

“We didn’t know this was going to be the precise time, but we knew once the campaign was over it was probably time

Princeton President Shirley Tilghman will step down at the end of the academic year.

for the president to move on,” Durkee said in an interview in his office. “We all hoped it would come a little bit later.”

Tilghman said she chose to step down this year after the Aspire campaign concluded because she thought projects she undertook were on their way to completion.

“What I realized is that almost everything — if not everything — that I had set out to do as president I’d either done or ... I am confident that it is irreversibly on its way to being done,” Tilghman said. “I began to ask myself what’s next.” To start new projects or initiatives, she said, she “would have to have a five-year runway.”

Hall, who said she has a “close relationship” with Tilghman, put the 19th president’s decision in the context of the capital campaign’s conclusion. Hall said following its completion Tilghman had the opportunity to breathe and reflect on what is best for the University.

Tilghman explained that she made the decision by asking a similar question: What is best for the University? After her 12-year presidency, which she noted is a long tenure for the leadership post, a new president would be better able to critically assess the state of the institution.

“After 12 years, you’re inevitably more defensive, less critical, because a lot of what you should be looking at really critically is your work. This is the right time for Princeton to have that transition,” she said.

In a 2009 interview with the ‘Prince,’ Tilghman explained that she planned to retire at the end of the academic year following the Aspire campaign — this academic year — saying there is a “rhythm of the presidency.” That phrase returned in Tilghman’s Saturday email announcing her departure, who noted the “natural rhythm to university presidencies.”

Tilghman’s 12-year presidency follows on the heels of the 13-year presidency of her predecessor, Harold Shapiro GS ’64.

Princeton presidents preceding Tilghman have served terms of similar length.

When Tilghman was chosen by — and from within — the search committee to lead the school in 2001, she had fairly little administrative experience; a molecular biology professor, she had led the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Intergrated Genomics. But Hall said that despite this inexperience she learned quickly on the job.

“It wasn’t that she grew; it was just unknown how much she would emerge as a really effective leader of a very large, very complex organization,” Hall said.

“And honestly, I would say that, really right off the bat, she proved herself really adept at that intersection of managing a large complex organization, being able to chart a course, being able to motivate people to be able to follow her course and being able to communicate that very clearly.”

Obama counters Romney’s tough talk on Mideast

BY JOSH LEDERMAN AND STEVE PEOPLES ASSOCIATED PRESS

KEITH SRAKOCIC/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A crew works on a gas drilling rig at a well site for shale based natural gas in Zelienople, Pa.

BY KEVIN BEGOS ASSOCIATED PRESS PITTSBURGH — It sounds like a free-market success story: a natural gas boom created by drilling company innovation, delivering a vast new source of cheap energy without the government subsidies that solar and wind power demand.

“The free market has worked its magic,” the Barnett Shale Energy Education Council, an industry group, claimed over the summer.

The boom happened “away from the greedy grasp of Washington,” the American Enterprise Institute, a think tank, wrote in an essay this year.

If bureaucrats “had known this was going on,” the essay went on, “surely Washington would have done something to slow it down, tax it more, or stop it altogether.”

But those who helped pioneer the technique known as hydraulic frac-

turing, or fracking, recall a different path. Over three decades, from the shale fields of Texas and Wyoming to the Marcellus in the Northeast, the federal government contributed more than $100 million in research to develop fracking, and billions more in tax breaks.

Now, those industry pioneers say their own effort shows that the government should back research into future sources of energy - for decades, if need be - to promote breakthroughs. For all its success now, many people in the oil and gas industry itself once thought shale gas was a waste of time.

“There’s no point in mincing words.

Some people thought it was stupid,” said Dan Steward, a geologist who began working with the Texas natural gas firm Mitchell Energy in 1981. Steward estimated that in the early years, “probably 90 percent of the people” in the firm didn’t believe shale gas would be profitable.

“Did I know it was going to work?

Hell no,” Steward added.

Shale is a rock formation thousands of feet underground. Among its largest U.S. deposits are the Marcellus Shale, under parts of Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and West Virginia, and the Barnett Shale is in north Texas. Geologists knew shale contained gas, but for more than 100 years the industry focused on shallower reserves. With fracking, large volumes of water, along with sand and hazardous chemicals, are injected underground to break rock apart and free the gas.

In 1975, the Department of Energy began funding research into fracking and horizontal drilling, where wells go down and then sideways for thousands of feet. But it took more than 20 years to perfect the process.

Alex Crawley, a former Department of Energy employee, recalled that some early tests were spectacular - in a bad way.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama, defending his foreign policy record at a time of anti-American rage in the Muslim world, fired back at suggestions from Republican Mitt Romney that the president has been weak with allies and enemies alike.

In an interview airing the night before Obama meets with other world leaders at the United Nations, the president said, “If Gov. Romney is suggesting that we should start another war, he should say so.”

It was Obama’s most direct rebuttal yet to persistent skepticism by his White House rival on his handling of an unraveling situation in the Middle East. Romney has charged the U.S. stance has been marred by miscalculations, mixed messages and appeasement.

As far back as May, Romney was condemning Obama’s response to unrest in Syria, dubbing it a “policy of paralysis” and calling for more assertive measures, such as arming the opposition to Syrian President Bashar Assad. As deadly anti-American protests erupted earlier this month in Libya and elsewhere, Romney sought to undercut what polling shows is a significant foreign policy edge for Obama by calling the president’s handling of the situation “disgraceful” and decrying a lack of U.S. leadership in the region.

In a companion interview to Obama’s appearance on CBS’ “60 Minutes,” Romney broadened his reproach to include Israel, criticizing Obama’s failure to meet with the U.S. ally’s head of state, Benjamin Netanyahu, during the annual U.N. gathering. Romney called it a mistake that “sends a message throughout the Middle East that somehow we distance ourselves from our friends.”

The White House has said scheduling precluded a meeting between the two leaders, who won’t be in New York

at the same time. With the final six weeks of a hard-fought election hanging over the U.N. summit, Obama has opted out of face-to-face meetings with any of his counterparts - not just Netanyahu - during his compressed U.N. visit.

But Obama pushed back on the notion that he feels pressure from Netanyahu, dismissing as noise the Israeli leader’s calls for the U.S. to lay out a “red line” that Iran’s nuclear program mustn’t cross to avoid American military intervention.

“When it comes to our national security decisions, any pressure that I feel is simply to do what’s right for the American people,” Obama said. “And I am going to block out any noise that’s out there. “ In a wide-ranging interview conducted the day after U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens was killed in an attack on Benghazi, Obama defended his foreign policy successes, noting he’d followed through on a commitment to end the war in Iraq and had nabbed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.

He also waxed optimistic that winning a second term would give him a mandate to overcome obstructionism from congressional Republicans whose No. 1 goal, he said, has been to prevent his re-election.

“My expectation is, my hope is that that’s no longer their number one priority,” Obama said. “I’m hoping that after the smoke clears and the election season’s over that that spirit of cooperation comes more to the fore.”

Romney, in an interview conducted last week, sought to deflect attention from his running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, over their differences in Medicare policy: “I’m the guy running for president, not him.”

While reaffirming his commitment to lowering all income tax rates by 20 percent, Romney expressed no unease about his refusal to offer specifics, such as which loopholes and deductions he’d eliminate to pay for the cuts.

Elis hold on for victory over Brown in Ivy opener

BY KEVIN KUCHARSKI STAFF REPORTER The volleyball team escaped its first weekend of Ivy play with a 3–1 win over a feisty Brown squad in Providence, R.I.

VOLLEYBALL The Bulldogs (5–5, 1–0 Ivy) prevailed following a tightly contested fourth set during which Brown mounted a formidable comeback. Although they faced set point at 25–24, the Bulldogs pulled through for a 27–25 triumph and a 3–1 match win. Outside hitter Mollie Rogers ’15 said that it was a character-building win for the team.

“Starting [Ivy League play] with a loss is not ideal,” she said. “The fact that we were able to play those tough games says a lot about our team. It’s great practice to pull off those types of matches.”

Brown (3–7, 0–1 Ivy) won the third set to pull within 2–1 and built early 5–0 and 10–4 leads in the fourth set. Yale responded with an offensive spurt to pull within 13–12 and eventually held a 24–22 lead.

But on the cusp of victory, Rogers and Kelly Johnson ’16 made consecutive attack errors, and Brown’s Kathryn Glickman notched a kill to give Brown a 25–24 lead. With set point in hand, Brown’s Kathryn Conner bailed out the Elis with a service error to tie the score at 25. On the next point Jesse Ebner ’16 logged a service ace, and Rogers finished the match with a kill.

That was not the first time in the match that the Elis faced set point. Down 1–0, Brown pushed Yale to the brink in the second set and led 24–23 following a kill from Shannon Frost.

Following ties at 25 and 26, Yale put a 28–26 win away with a kill by Ebner. Ebner said that although the team struggled at times throughSEE VOLLEYBALL PAGE B2

Volleyball begins title defense VOLLEYBALL FROM PAGE B1 out the match, it pulled it together during the high-pressure situations.

“I thought that our performance overall was a little shaky,” she said. “But at the end of games we snapped back into it. At the end of those close games we had so much energy, and we played as a team.”

After the first set it looked like history would repeat itself and Yale would sweep the Bears for a third straight time. With just a 10–9 lead in the first set, something clicked for the Bulldogs, and they took off on a 15–6 run to capture a convincing 25–15 opening victory.

Brown went on to drop the second set as well, but bounced back for a 25–20 victory in the third game. Amanda Nickel led the Bears in their only win of the afternoon with five of her match-high 15 kills. Maddie Lord, who was Brown’s primary offensive threat heading into the match, notched 13 kills herself, including two of the final three points of the third set.

Rogers said that Brown provided a stiff challenge to the Bulldogs.

“Brown played pretty well, and it was our first Ivy match so there was probably some nerves,” she said. “They came out solid, and we had a little trouble handling that.”

On Yale’s side of the net, Rogers led the offense. She had a team-high 14 kills and also added 15 digs. Setter Kendall Polan ’14 recorded her second straight triple-double with 10 kills, 31 assists and 20 digs, and Ebner led the squad with a .348 hitting percentage.

The Bulldogs hit the road again this weekend to take on Columbia and Cornell.

W. SOCCER FROM PAGE B4 regulation, Gavin slid the ball up from just past midfield to Frannie Coxe ’15 who slammed a shot past goaltender Claire Pinciaro, but a Princeton defender stepped in behind the keeper to clear the ball out just before it rolled across the goal line.

After the first 90 minutes expired with a 1–1 tie, the game was sent into overtime. Half way through overtime, Hoy — the leading scorer in the Ivy League — exploded up the field with a teammate on a fastbreak and was about to cross a pass into the bottom corner of the net when she was taken out by a hustling Yale defenderwho slide-tackled her.

Just two minutes later, the Tigers threw the ball in, and Berkanish inadvertently ended the game with a deflected header.

“I think that everyone poured their heart and soul into the game, and I think that our preparation leading up to the game was to work as hard as we possibly can,” defender Shannon McSweeney ’15 said. “I think it showed on the field. Obviously we have things to work on going forward, but, like [Meredith] said, we are going to put this in our past.”

the Bulldogs’ goalposts. In the next 15 minutes, the Bulldogs went on an offensive rampage and recorded a shot every minute.

At 72:40, Yale missed another chance to put one up on the empty scoreboard.

This time Armbrust fed defender Tony Wilbar ’13, who was stationed near the visitors’ goalposts. The Eli defender did not hesitate to take the shot, but Fordham goalkeeper Brailey once again denied Yale’s on-target attempt.

In their own zone, the Bulldogs demonstrated superb defense, with defenders Alers, Milan Tica ’13 and Pablo Espinola ’16 blocking many of the visitors’ shots and occasionally coming upfield to play pivotal roles in the offense. Whereas so far this season, the Elis have relied on Thalman to make an average of four saves per game, the defense needed only one to keep the Rams at bay.

The two teams failed to decide the winner within 90-minute regulation and went into sudden-death overtime for another 20 minutes.

The teams exchanged a shot apiece in the first overtime, but neither found the net. But in the second overtime, the Bulldogs almost missed a golden opportunity. Forward Kevin Michalak ’15 sent a long pass to forward Fox. Fox, not situated in an off-side position, moved ahead of Fordham defenders. However, running nearly 20 extra minutes took its toll on Fox, as he slowed down and the Fordham defense converged on him before he could connect with a shot.

With two minutes left in the period, the Rams had their last game-sealing opportunity, but Thalman stepped out of the goal to intercept Fordham’s offensive play off the turnover before Fordham could shoot.

“The players deserve a lot of credit as they prevented Fordham from scoring many times, counter attacked and got out some breaks,” head coach Brian Tompkins said.

Alers said Yale should work on placing shots more deftly, out of the defense’s reach.

“We need to be more clinical in attacking, especially in creating chances,” he said.

The Elis kept their momentum going on Sunday with a 2–1 win against Marist in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Last year, the Elis also dominated the Red Foxes with a whopping 7–0 shutout.

In an apparent attempt to make up for Friday’s scoreless tie against the Rams, the team went all out offensively, and the Bulldogs executed shots with more precision.

“Marist was an energetic team, highly motivated from last year’s loss and it was a good test for our team,” Thalman said.

However, only two minutes after kickoff, Yale gave a goal away when Marist striker Dylan Lee found an opening in Yale’s defense and took a 30-yard shot.

Yale recorded four shots, including two attempts by forward McKiernan. The Marist defense cleaned up the first shot, and the goalkeeper denied the second.

Yale’s defense continued to tie down the opponents, while the offense moved more effectively as a unit. But Yale closed off the first half scoreless.

In the second half, the Elis’ improved playing style started to pay off.

At 64:40, forward Conner Lachenbruch’s ’15 second attempt hit on target, allowing the Elis to get even with Marist.

Just six minutes after the first goal, Fox took action. He shrewdly cut off Marist’s offensive drive, took the ball to the right side and crossed it to forward Michalak.

Michalak’s ten-yard shot connected with the net, and the hosts could not turn the game around in the remaining 20 minutes.

On Tuesday, Yale will take on its first nationally ranked powerhouse, state rival

No. 2 Connecticut.

“They are a very skillful team that plays beautiful soccer and are good at possessing the ball,” Thalman said. “If we stayed tuned up with a formed defense, we will be able to pull something out.”

Kickoff starts at 7 p.m.

BY CHARLES CONDRO STAFF REPORTER The Bulldogs were left seeing red on the gridiron yesterday in their first Ivy League game of the season.

FOOTBALL Cornell (1–1, 1–0 Ivy) blew out Yale (1–1, 0–1 Ivy) 45–6 in the Ancient Eight opener in Ithaca, N.Y., on Saturday. The Big Red rode quarterback Jeff Mathews’ arm and four turnovers by the Blue and White to a big win on their home turf. “[Mathews] is probably the best quarterback I’ve played against,” defensive back Nick Okano ’14 said. “If we made just a slight mistake … he’d thread the needle.”

Yale managed to stop Cornell on the opening drive after the Big Red drove into Eli territory, but Cornell got the ball right back when Cornell safety Andrew Nelson jumped a screen and picked off the pass from Eli quarterback Eric Williams ’16.

Cornell scored on the very next play on a run by tailback Luke Hagy to jump out to a 7–0 lead. Although that would be enough to win the game, Mathews and company did not stop there. Mathews

threw for three scores, and Hagy ran for another as the Big Red took a big 35–0 lead by halftime.

Yale also lost running back Mordecai Cargill ’13 midway through the first half to a right shoulder injury. He did not return to the game, and Khalil Keys ’15 and Tyler Varga ’16 filled in for him in the backfield.

Cargill said the two younger players did a great job running the ball.

“Our team mantra is ‘Next man up.’ We work hard at practice and compete every day to make sure everyone’s ready to go,” Cargill said.

The Bulldogs finally got on the board in the final seconds of the third quarter when Williams found wide receiver Grant Wallace ’15 on a seven-yard slant to make it 42–6, but holder Derek Russell’s ’13 pass for the two-point conversion fell incomplete.

The Big Red added a 22-yard field goal with 8:25 to go in the fourth quarter to finish the scoring at 45–6.

Despite allowing Cornell to run away with the first half 35–0, the Elis renewed their drive to keep pace with the Big Red in the second half. Cornell outscored Yale by only four points after halftime. Head Coach Tony Reno attributed the improvement to his team’s resilience. “[We] had a bad half but came out and

played better football,” Reno said. “You need to learn from mistakes … We’re just looking to continue to improve.”

Mathews finished the game 29–39 with 340 yards and four touchdown passes, while his Eli counterpart Williams finished 27–37 for 211 yards, one score and two interceptions. Matthews won the Bushnell Cup as the Ivy League offensive MVP last season.

Varga led the Yale ground attack with 91 yards on 13 carries. Hagy had 88 yards for Cornell, but it took him 21 rushing attempts.

Yale will kick off its home season Saturday against Colgate. Ivy play at the Yale Bowl will begin the following week against Dartmouth.

Last year, the Bulldogs trounced Cornell 37–17.

Uproar over NFL replacement

BY BARRY WILNER ASSOCIATED PRESS Suspect officiating decisions during several games contributed to a chaotic third Sunday of the NFL season.

Replacement officials admitted making two mistakes in Minnesota’s victory over San Francisco, while a few other games included questionable calls that could have affected the outcomes.

Referee Ken Roan said he twice granted 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh video challenges after Harbaugh called timeout in the fourth quarter. Neither challenge should have been allowed once Harbaugh asked for time.

“What I told him was, ‘Well you challenged it not knowing what the result of the play was going to be,’” Roan said. “So I granted him the challenge and we went and looked at it. That was wrong. I should not have.”

Both mistakes happened in the span of six plays in Minnesota’s 24–13 upset of the 49ers.

“My interpretation of it was that he could do that based upon the time factors and not knowing it was a challengeable play to begin with when he called timeout,” Roan said. “If you don’t have a timeout to lose, you can’t make a challenge.”

In the Lions-Titans and Bengals-Redskins games, officials marched off too much yardage on penalties.

Lions linebacker Stephen Tulloch’s helmet-to-helmet hit on Craig Stevens wound up as a 27-yard penalty in Tennessee’s 44–41 overtime win. In OT, from the Titans 44, Jake Locker passed to Stevens over the middle for a 24-yard gain and Tulloch was flagged for the hit. Fourteen yards were added to the end of the play, which then was reviewed and overturned because the ball hit the ground.

However, the penalty still is enforced.

Instead of 15 yards, officials marked it off from the Detroit 44 — the wrong spot.

“As soon as the play was declared incomplete it becomes a first down and it becomes 15 yards from the play before,” Lions coach Jim Schwartz said.

The Redskins were penalized 20 yards

instead of 15 for unsportsmanlike conduct in the final seconds of their 38–31 loss.

Robert Griffin III spiked the ball to stop the clock with seven seconds left.

Then tight end Fred Davis was called for a 5-yard false start penalty.

According to Washington coach Mike Shanahan, at least one official indicated there would be a 10-second runoff, ending the game — and the Bengals, led by coach Marvin Lewis, started walking onto the field. There shouldn’t have been a runoff, though, because the clock had been stopped by the spike. The Redskins began arguing, and eventually the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty was called.

The officials never announced specifically who the call was against, just that the penalty would be added to the false start, a total of 20 yards. But they walked off 25 yards — the official game play-byplay said 20 yards were enforced for the unsportsmanlike conduct.

That left the Redskins with a thirdand-50.

“They threw the flag at us, and there was half of the (Bengals) team on the field,” Shanahan said. “I was disappointed in that.”

Earlier Sunday, the players’ union posted an open letter to team owners calling on them to end the lockout of the regular officials that began in June when their contact expired. The NFL used replacements in 2001 for one week before a new deal was reached.

This year, criticism from coaches and players has mounted for the replacements, who come from lower college levels or from other leagues such as Arena Football.

There have been numerous complaints by players and coaches — certainly more than when the regular officials work — and Sunday was no different. In one particularly embarrassing episode an official was removed from working a New Orleans game last week because he posted photos of himself in Saints gear on Facebook.

Then there were more questionable decisions Sunday: -At Nashville, with 16 seconds remain-

ing in regulation, Detroit’s Shaun Hill threw to Nate Burleson on the sideline and he then lost the ball. It looked to be a completion then a fumble because the side judge threw his beanie, but another official ruled an incomplete pass. Titans CB Alterraun Verner had grabbed the ball and started to run and there were questions why the replay booth didn’t review it.

-Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo fumbled twice on plays in the third quarter that weren’t initially ruled turnovers until challenged by Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano.

First, Romo was in the grasp of Gerald McCoy with his right arm extended, when he flicked the ball forward in what was initially ruled an incomplete pass. Officials watched the replay and determined the ball was loose when Romo tried to push it out, and called it a fumble recovered by Gary Gibson at the 19.

Later, Michael Bennett sacked Romo and knocked the ball loose, but officials quickly whistled the play dead and Romo down even as Eric Wright ran toward the end zone with the football.

After Schiano challenged, officials reversed it to a fumble recovered at the 31, and the Bucs failed to score.

“They blew it dead. But the refs are doing a great job,” McCoy said. “A lot of people are complaining. We’ve got what we got. Everyone needs to accept it.

They’re trying their hardest. No ref wants to go out there and make a bad call.”

-Raiders receiver Darrius HeywardBey was taken to the hospital with a neck injury after a helmet-to-helmet hit from Steelers safety Ryan Mundy that was not penalized.

Heyward-Bey was running across the end zone early in the fourth quarter to catch a pass from Carson Palmer when Mundy launched his body and lowered his helmet into Heyward-Bey’s facemask.

Heyward-Bey’s neck jerked violently and his head also crashed into the ground. The pass was incomplete.

“Once again the refs missed it, like they always do,” Oakland defensive tackle Tommy Kelly said.

Former heavyweight champion shot dead

Former heavyweight champion Corrie Sanders, 46, was shot dead by robbers at a restaurant in Brits, South Africa during a family celebration. The southpaw fought professionally from 1989 to 2008 was best known for his upset of Wladmir Klitschko for the heavyweight title in March, 2003.

Princeton defeats Yale in OT

Undefeated weekend for Elis

BY EUGENA JUNG STAFF REPORTER Almost halfway into the season, the Elis again notched an important 2–1 victory against Marist (3–4–1) on Sunday, but tied Fordham at nil on Friday.

MEN’S SOCCER Against Marist, Yale (3–3–2) came back from a one-goal deficit in the first half to pull ahead 2–1 within the first 25 minutes of the second. But despite a double overtime and 11 ambitious shots from the Elis over the course of Friday’s game, both Yale and the visiting Fordham team (3–3–1) failed to convert their efforts into goals.

“Defensively, we did a great job dealing with Fordham, but offensively, we should have been a bit sharper,” defender Nick Alers ’14 said.

On a chilly Friday night, many of the Bulldogs’ parents and fellow varsity athletes came out to cheer on the team throughout the unusually long game, when the Elis sought to extend their winning streak to three. The Rams

struck first, with forward Kalle Sotka’s strong shot threatening to open up the hosts’ goalposts. But the Bulldogs foiled Sotka’s attempt as captain and goalkeeper Bobby Thalman ’13 blocked the shot.

It took the Bulldogs almost 20 minutes into the game to have their first attempt at a goal, but the shot fired from forward Jenner Fox ’14 was bumped away by a Rams defender. At 33:55, the Elis failed to capitalize on what was perhaps the brightest scoring chance in the first half, when Scott Armbrust ’14 crossed the ball to fellow forward Avery Schwartz ’16. Schwartz sent a brilliant header towards the net, but Fordham’s keeper Sean Brailey caught it.

“They had some good forwards who tried to get in the space between our defense, and they were also strong in the back,” Alers said.

In the second half, it was again Sotka who initiated the Rams’ offensive drive just four minutes after the whistle. Sotka took a wild but nevertheless threatening shot that swerved a bit away from SEE M. SOCCER PAGE B2

Midfielder Murial Battaglia ’15 headed in her third goal of the season in Saturday’s game against Princeton.

BY ASHTON WACKYM CONTRIBUTING REPORTER An accidental header from a Yale defender ended the Bulldogs’ three-game winning streak on Saturday and gave the Elis their first loss at home this season.

WOMEN’S SOCCER With just over three minutes to go in overtime, Princeton (4–3, 1–0 Ivy) scored after a throw-in by Tiger Liana Cornacchio was unintentionally deflected into the net by defender Trish Berkanish ’13.

“I think we battled really well,” forward Anne Song ’13 said. “It was unfortunate it turned out the way it did.”

Like their other games this season, the Bulldogs (5–4, 0–1 Ivy) played another highly physical game on Saturday. The Tigers received two yellow cards, one during each half.

Yale scored first, despite Princeton’s fiery play. Just 11 minutes into the game,

forward Melissa Gavin ’15 found midfielder Muriel Battaglia ’15 in the swamp of players in front of the Tigers’ goal with a precise corner kick. Battaglia jumped up and headed the ball in to give the Bulldogs their only lead of the game. But it was not long before Princeton came back.

The Tigers flew out onto the field with fierceness in the first half, taking control of the ball and the midfield. Princeton fired a total of nine shots during the course of the first half, but goalkeeper Rachel Ames ’16 and solid defense from the Bulldogs kept the Tigers scoreless until 24 minutes into the game, Tiger midfielder and defender Gabriella Guzman boomed a shot from 25 yards out, picking off the top corner.

“They controlled the midfield a little bit better,” head coach Rudy Meredith said. “I thought the midfield play was the difference in the game.”

After Princeton’s onslaught in the first half, the Elis were tired of the Tigers’ claiming the midfield as their own. Yale came back to the field charged with the

speed Princeton initiated. The Elis moved the ball back and forth, weaving in and out of Princeton defenders. Give-and-go play helped the Bulldogs gain control of the field.

Six minutes into the second half, Gavin tiptoed around a slide-tackling Tiger, deftly walked between two other defenders and fired a shot on goal that the Tigers stopped.

But the Elis’ burst of energy was not consistent enough to get a leg up on Princeton. Just two minutes later, a Tiger headed a floating corner kick just above the crossbar.

With 11 minutes remaining, the Tigers could have ended the game. Princeton snuck attacker Jen Hoy in behind the Elis’ defense, and she blasted a shot past Ames. The goal was called back, however, because the Tigers were offsides.

In spite of Princeton’s vicious rebound, Yale was not ready to give in to Princeton’s assault. With just over four minutes left in SEE W. SOCCER PAGE B2

Elis fall to Tigers, beat Sacred Heart

BY PATRICK CASEY CONTRIBUTING REPORTER Last year, Yale and Princeton’s field hockey teams were Ivy League co-champions, but on Saturday, the Bulldogs fell to No. 3 Princeton in an 8–0 shutout. Yale, however, regained its footing to beat Sacred Heart the following day.

FIELD HOCKEY Princeton (7–1, 2–0), entered Saturday’s game at Yale’s Johnson Field undefeated and beat Yale (3–4, 1–1) in what was mostly a defensive struggle for the Elis. Princeton outshot Yale 33–4, and Yale goalkeeper Emily Cain ’14 made nine saves before being relieved midway through the second half by Heather Schlesier ’15. Princeton scored three goals in the first half and five in the second.

“A team like Princeton is difficult to defend because they have proven themselves to be very dangerous inside the circle — even if only given a few opportunities,” Cain wrote in an email to the News. “That being said, I think that our defense really did a good job stepping up against some of the best strikers in the country and had many successes in our performance.”

Losing to Princeton is a tough blow for Yale, as the Tigers are

the highest-ranked team in the Ivy League. Since 2009, Yale has won 18 of 19 games it has played against Ivy League schools other than Princeton, and the Elis lost to Princeton last year, 3–2.

Each year, Yale spends much of the beginning of its season preparing for the game against Princeton, as it is considered one of the most important games in the field hockey schedule.

“Every year we play Princeton pretty early in the season, and I always try to get some top teams … on the schedule before we play Princeton, because we know they’re going to be a top team,” head coach Pam Stuper told the News last week. “I think

I definitely think the win today will help carry us into next weekend against Cornell.

HEATHER SCHLESIER ’15 Goalkeeper, Field hockey it’s important that you have an opportunity to play a top team before you have that game.”

On Sunday, Yale defeated Sacred Heart (5–3) with a final score of 3–1. Midfielder and back Noelle Villa ’16, midfielder

Erica Borgo ’14 and forward Jessie Accurso ’15 each scored goals.

“We worked as a team very well against Sacred Heart,” Schlesier said in an email. “We continued to find each other up the field and were able to put in three beautiful goals. I definitely think the win today will help carry us into next weekend against Cornell.”

Borgo added that the team will keep its focus as it heads into an Ivy League competition against Cornell next weekend.

Yale will hit the road to take on Cornell (1–6, 1–1) on Saturday and Syracuse (9–0) on Sunday.
