BULLDOGS BRING HOME A WEST COAST WIN

Laundering money. An

enterprising Yale student has begun capitalizing off the Saybrook laundry scandal.

For students who have not had the opportunity to have their clothing soiled by the “poopetrator,” brown shirts with “#poopetrator” on them are now available for sale. The shirts being sold anonymously on teespring.com are “brown so if the poopetrator strikes again, at least no one will be able to tell.” Each Hanes tagless T-shirt will run at $10.

The blacklist. If there is one

thing Yale undergraduates have learned over the past year, it is that replying ‘M’ does not mute a chain of emails. Over five dozen undergraduates either do not have a basic understanding of email or still find the “replyallcalypse” amusing because three mass email chains have filled up inboxes in the past month.

At least the students who contributed have all made their names completely public through Belle Bells’ panlists.

Let the public shaming begin…

The last frozen margarita.

Hearts sank across Saybrook College Friday morning after an announcement from the Saybrook College Council declared “Viva’s Night” cancelled. The decision came after Viva Zapata’s decided it would not allow anyone under the age of 21 to enter the establishment as a result of new police patrols in the area on the lookout specifically for underage drinkers. “As this prevents nearly 75 percent of Saybrugians from even being eligible to attend and because of how important and expensive the event is, we have elected to postpone Viva’s night,” the announcement stated. The future of frozen margarita festivities for the Saybrugians remains in flux.

Free pumpkins. In case

students did not previously have a strong reason to begin their fall shopping at the stores along Chapel Street and Broadway, the Shops at Yale are now offering the added incentive of “a free mini pumpkin while supplies last.” All the potential jack-o’lanterns are being supplied by Van Wilgen’s Garden Center.

It was unclear whether the addendum “while supplies last” was meant to suggest that the pumpkins were perishable or in high demand.

Elm City bling ring. In a

campaign dubbed “Operation Apple Harvest,” the New Haven Police Department pulled off a successful sting operation last week and repossessed thousands of stolen electronic devices.

The enormous net of phones, pagers, cameras and other goods are being kept in a 2,250-square-foot warehouse in Fair Haven for the moment.

School of Nursing dedicated

YALE FOOTBALL’S HOT START CAUSE FOR EXCITEMENT At 3–0, the Yale football team is off to its best start since starting 9–0 to open the 2007 season. The Elis head up to Hanover, N.H., next Saturday to face Dartmouth in their first Ivy road game of the season.

The Yale School of Nursing officially opened its new West Campus facility with a ribboncutting ceremony on Friday afternoon.

A crowd of several hundred YSN students, professors and alumni gathered outside the renovated facility, which marks the most recent addition to the rapid growth on West Campus. While nursing students have voiced concerns that the new location will isolate the school from the pulse of main campus, they praised the space as a vast improvement over the former YSN home near the School of Medicine. Though YSN has been in session on West Campus since late August, Friday’s event kicked off a weekend-long dedication and celebration of the school’s 90th anniversary.

“Despite our long program of success and storied history, this is the first time in our 90-year history that the School of Nursing has occupied its own building that was designed and built out to specifically enable us to accomplish our mission,” Dean of the School of Nursing Margaret Grey said in her speech.

Over the last year, the University renovated an existing building on West Campus to serve as the new home for the School of Nursing.

The 110,000-square-foot building features state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories. In her speech, Grey highlighted laboratories that allow students to simulate caring for patients in a hospital environment, as well as the University’s second Technology Enabled SEE NURSING PAGE 4

Hillary Clinton addresses law alumni

BY LILLIAN CHILDRESS CONTRIBUTING REPORTER On Saturday afternoon, Hillary Clinton LAW ’73 took the stage in Woolsey Hall to a loud roar of applause.

Clad in one of her signature pantsuits, Clinton — who came to campus this weekend to attend the Yale Law School Alumni Weekend — addressed a packed auditorium of thousands of students and alumni, speaking about her memories of Yale as a law student and her vision for America’s socioeconomically disadvantaged youth. While at Yale, Clinton accepted the YLS Alumni Association’s award of merit, which is given to a distinguished YLS graduate or faculty member each year.

Starting with her arrival at YLS in 1969, Clinton led the audience through the story of how her experiences in law school would eventually lead to her career in public service. She recalled first arriving on campus in bell-bot-

toms, driving a beat-up car with mattress tied to its roof.

It was a tumultuous time in America, in New Haven and at Yale.

HILLARY CLINTON LAW ’73 Former U.S. secretary of state “It was a tumultuous time in America, in New Haven and at Yale,” she said. “We had a lot of late-night heated arguments over the future of the country.”

Clinton highlighted the invaluable lessons she learned in New Haven outside of the classroom by speaking about her time working at the Yale Child Study Center and shadowing child abuse cases at the Yale-New Haven Hospital. These experiences led her to a long-term, SEE CLINTON PAGE 4

Journalist ordeal put to bed

BY ISAAC STANLEY-BECKER STAFF REPORTER Eight days after she was arrested for trespassing at Yale, Brazilian journalist Claudia Trevisan was cleared of all charges at a Friday hearing and assured that the incident will be erased from her criminal record.

Trevisan, a Washington, D.C.-based correspondent for O Estado de S. Paulo, was arrested on Sept. 26 after entering the Commons Rotunda in hopes of tracking down Brazilian Supreme Court President Joaquim Barbosa, who was par-

ticipating in a Yale Law School seminar on the second floor of the building. She was handcuffed and taken in a paddy wagon to the New Haven Police Department, where she was locked up for three and a half hours before being released at the request of Yale Law School Dean Robert Post LAW ’77.

Though she maintains she was arrested without cause and subject to mistreatment by Yale Police officers, Trevisan said she is satisfied with the dismissal of the charges and will not seek further action against the University.

“I’m not interested in being wrapped up in a court case that could go on for months,” Trevisan said. “I have no interest in taking any action against Yale or the police.”

Following her release, Trevisan said she feared the arrest would continue to haunt her, complicating her ability to renew her work visa and reside in the United States, where she arrived just two months ago after a five-year stint reporting in China.

But Friday’s hearing in New Haven Superior Court assuaged that fear, as it formally closed

the case and confirmed that the State would not prosecute for criminal trespassing.

I’m not interested in being wrapped up in a court case that could go on for months.

CLAUDIA TREVISAN Correspondent, O Estado de S. Paulo “When I ask for a visa, I

need to say whether I was ever arrested,” Trevisan said. “And I was worried at first I would have to answer ‘Yes.’” Trevisan’s lawyer, Westport-based attorney Stephen Nevas, said the Supervisory Assistant State’s attorney David Strollo declined to prosecute at the behest of the University. The record of the arrest will therefore be erased, pursuant to Connecticut statute that permits criminal expungement if charges are dropped or a case is otherwise dismissed, Nevas SEE JOURNALIST PAGE 6

'LAKIA' ON 'SEEKING WEALTH'

Rethinking The price of emotional poverty Johnson’s gift I L

ast Sunday, President Peter Salovey announced one of the most extraordinary gifts in Yale history. Charles B. Johnson ’54, a billionaire investor from California, gave a mind-blowing $250 million to support the two new residential colleges. This gift was, to be sure, a remarkably generous act from a remarkable man.

Yet even as I thank and praise Johnson, I find myself disconcerted by the response to his gift.

The story I keep hearing seems too easy. I have always been taught — by some of the best professors in the world, no less — to challenge simple, one-sided narratives. Like everything else, Johnson’s donation deserves deeper scrutiny.

For more than half a century, Charles Johnson ran Franklin Resources, a mutual fund that has more than $815 billion in assets.

Worth somewhere between $4 and $6 billion, Johnson is listed on the Class of 1954 website as “our class’s only billionaire.” Even before his record-setting gift last week, Johnson had given millions of dollars to Yale.

But Johnson’s financial support for education is not so simple. He was the largest single donor in the movement opposing California’s Proposition 30, which would raise income taxes on the mega-rich like Johnson by 3 percent, leaving taxes unchanged for most Californians (along with raising sales tax by a quarter of a percent). The revenue generated by the slight tax increase was needed to fund state colleges and universities. The easy premise that Johnson is simply a generous individual is more complicated than it seems.

Unqualified praise further obscures the fact that this donation was also part of a larger, and potentially disturbing, trend. In the last couple decades, the largest donators to education went from nonprofit institutions to privately funded foundations.

Education, public and private, is increasingly funded by billionaire philanthropists such as the Gates and Walton families.

While few are denying the generosity of these individuals, their influence is extremely troubling. The rise of private philanthropy in education is the rise of very few people having an inordinately loud voice in setting policy. The Gates Foundation, for instance, has no public accountability at all and has a specific political agenda; the Foundation opposes teacher tenure and strongly supports charter schools. Because of the massive amounts of money given, these positions tend to become increasingly adopted by both the public and policymakers, including by the Obama administration. Thus, a very few well-heeled individuals steer national policy.

And as the gap between the poor and the uber-wealthy gets larger and larger, fewer and fewer people will have a say.

The fact that no one has any

check on how these b i l l i o n a i re philanthropists spend their money has generated many skeptics, SCOTT even when STERN the philanthropy is A Stern undeniably Perspective g e n e r o u s .

When a Filipino businessman named Fred Uytengsu gave $8 million to the University of Southern California, his praises were widely sung. Yet a few critics raised the idea that Uytengsu lives in the Philippines, and, while USC has an endowment of $3.5 billion, the best Filipino schools have endowments closer to $8 or $10 million.

Wouldn’t Uytengsu’s money have meant more closer to his home? It is, of course, Uytengsu’s money to do with what he wants, but it is also worth pausing just a moment to consider the consequences of this philanthropic-educational complex.

Uytengsu’s donation and countless others like it are part of a trend in which the big money in education is concentrated at the very top. From 2011 to 2012, half of all donations from philanthropists to British universities went to just Oxford and Cambridge. In the United States as well, the big stories of philanthropy in education were concentrated at schools that already have tons of money.

Places like Yale receive hundreds of millions of dollars a year, while schools with smaller endowments receive fewer and less noteworthy donations.

It is, then, possible to see Johnson as a single exceptionally wealthy man trying to steer an educational institution already flush with money. Johnson never asked Yale students if they wanted him to spend $250 million on the new residential colleges. In fact, the only times Yale students were ever asked about the new residential colleges, they openly detested the idea. When the new colleges were being debated in 2007 and 2008, two polls were conducted that found that about half of all students opposed them, while only a quarter or less supported the expansion. Faculty, too, vocally opposed the new colleges.

So while we praise Johnson for his generosity, we should also note that his money allows him to wield unusual power in concretizing a policy so many Yalies oppose. Big philanthropy and Yale are so firmly enmeshed that we embrace names like Harkness, Bass, Sterling — and now Johnson — without thinking enough about who they are, what motivates them and the startling power they hold over us.

f you only have five minutes today and are reading this column, put it down and look up Robert F. Kennedy’s speech at the University of Kansas on March 18, 1968 instead.

Not only is it one of the most beautiful and soaring works of oratory presented on the national stage in recent memory, but it’s also full of oft-neglected insights about the state of American social life, written during a time of unprecedented turmoil. Kennedy, in a far cry from what our political discourse has looked like recently, talks about the health of our “national soul” and the emotional challenges we encounter in confronting growing poverty and inequality. Why, he asks, does the Gross National Product data look great on paper while there is social instability everywhere?

“Even if we act to erase material poverty,” he notes, “there is another greater task, it is to confront the poverty of satisfaction purpose and dignity - that afflicts us all.”

If this sounds like a bizarre thing to say, consider how far removed our political conversations are from this kind of thinking today.

In a discourse largely dominated by a tug-of-war between factions arguing for a little more redistribution or a little less, too little thought

people are increasingly disassociating from community institutions like churches that have traditionally taken responsibility for emotional wellbeing. Because people don’t have those social resources to turn to, the political rhetoric needs to start grasping these issues.

Both in rich and poor communities, Americans need more than material wealth. In communities with few materials resources, the problems go beyond economic stagnation—issues like physical violence and poor health have roots in emotional problems like vulnerability and loneliness. In wealthy communities like Yale, we may not struggle with lack of material resources, but we do have some of the same emotional hunger. Our insecurity is manifesting itself in our sex culture, in our disturbing lack of inner peace and in our inability to get beyond superficiality in many of our friendships.

With the issue of emotional poverty so widespread, government – an increasingly large source, for better of worse, of social authority – must begin to speak to these problems.

FES, more female leaders please F

or a three-day period recently, my Twitter feed began to hum with unusual chatter about inspirational women in the environmental community. Tweeters were “so in awe” of a “powerhouse that is this room of international women working to #fixtheplanet.” Series of 140-character sentences drew attention to how “women are leading the way in changing entrenched behaviors that fuel #climate change.”

Twitter’s sudden enthusiasm for female environmental leadership sprang from the International Women’s Earth and Climate Summit, which was taking place in upstate New York. I was delighted at this outburst of appreciation, and I was surprised — and then surprised at my own surprise. Of course women are doing impressive work on environmental issues.

I knew that, yet I wasn’t used to hearing it.

We need to boost the visibility of women in the environmental community — and no, please don’t interpret this as a call for more up-close photos of their footwear and detailed deconstructions of their hairstyles. Highlighting the extraordinary work done by these females — who are fearless, certainly, and frequently fun, too, even if not sporting the kind of

garb seen in the pages of Cosmo — is essential for inspiring new generations to work to keep the planet habitable for everyone.

Seeing successful people who look like you is an astonishingly big part of believing that you can be successful as well. Every time I see another all-male panel speaking about a subject that is close to my heart, it erodes a little more of my assurance that I too could sit up there on a stage like that one day — even in such an enlightened institution as Yale. Anyone reading the list of speakers in this semester’s FES seminar series, for example, could be forgiven for thinking that we were still in the 1970s and the figures etched on the Women’s Table were some kind of fantasy.

The speakers listed were all male.

All of them — until one woman was added at the last minute after the Yale Environmental Women student group questioned the lineup.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that most of the people who have nudged me forward through my career to date have been female.

One of the first was my high school geography teacher, who planted the idea in my head of applying to Cambridge — something I had until then dismissed as not for me. My undergraduate dissertation supervisor was at the time the only female professor in the Geog-

raphy Department and it was in part her encouragement — and her example — that gave me the confidence to apply to Yale. Sitting as a youth representative on the steering committee of the U.K.’s coalition of climate-focused campaign groups, I saw that out of all the high-level spokespeople in attendance there was only one other woman. But she also happened to be the most inspiring person there. All of these individuals have helped to counter the influence of people such as the teacher I had when I was 15, who asked me if I was one of those “women’s libbers” who burn their bras, because I expressed an interest in pursuing a career other than housewifery.

All this means that the uneven spread of men and women in Yale’s faculty is a cause for concern, because it indicates a shortage of female role models for the University’s students. Perhaps it also helps to explain FES’s choice of seminar speakers this semester: male faculty are probably less likely than their female counterparts to notice that kind of thing, or to see it as a problem. Statistics about male and female faculty at Yale are presented every five years by the Women Faculty Forum in a report called “The View.” The 2012 report states that, in the 2011-'12 academic year, two out of 17 ten-

ured faculty at FES were women.

Rectifying the uneven gender balance in top environmental jobs and conference panels isn’t just an issue for the navelgazing members of elite universities. We need to raise the status of women in the environmental community because, globally, women are disproportionately harmed by the impacts of climate change. For example, the United Nations reports that women in low-income countries tend to be responsible for collecting water, a task that becomes more difficult as droughts become more frequent and last longer. Furthermore, if cultural biases privilege one gender over the other, half of the potentially world-changing leaders are held back, which could stop movements and organizations from reaching their full potential.

The good news is that there are many women doing wonderful work already, as was highlighted by the flurry of tweets surrounding the recent summit in New York.

If we’re to truly #fixtheplanet, women’s success stories must become the new normal.

learn in, bedtime stories and much more.

I was lucky. I grew up in a home with two parents who loved unconditionally. We didn’t have much money. My parents had immigrated from Armenia to New York the year before I was born, and while they were doctors there, it would take more than a decade before they could earn anything remotely close to an American doctor’s salary. So for about the first ten years of my life, we lived in small apartments in Manhattan and my parents worked in pawnshops, at labs running dishwashers and as babysitters. They kept me clothed and fed while studying for exams and climbing their way up. Classic immigrant story. But they also stayed up with me until I finished my homework and took me to the park on weekends. We were a family, and it felt that way every day.

Home was a very safe place, where I could feel loved and wanted.

There is no discussion of emotional poverty in today’s political paradigm. It’s just not built into the discourse. When was the last time you heard either political party talk about the poverty of love in their narratives? Traditionally, we have not believed that government is supposed to make people feel loved. But, as Robert Putnam argued in his book Bowling Alone,

is given to the resources beyond money that people need to flourish.

Poverty takes many forms.

Its JOHN material form AROUis the most TIOUNIAN obvious and calls for our most immediJohnny attention.

Come Lately ate But its more deeply rooted form, that of emotional poverty or the “poverty of satisfaction,” is subtler and much harder to get rid of. It can affect the rich and the poor just as harshly, and I have personally seen it both inside and outside Yale’s walls. And to understand poverty in America, we must come to grips with both forms.

When the wealthy suffer from emotional poverty they usually have the resources and the community to either pull themselves of the situation or to find help. But to suffer from both intense emotional and material poverty leaves an individual with next to nothing. Endemic poverty perpetuates itself when people grow up without unconditional love, communities that care, schools that are safe to

I

t is Saturday night. I am sitting in my dorm room, watching my sixth episode of 30 Rock and eating my second pint of Ben and Jerry’s of the night. In between episodes, I switch tabs to Facebook out of reflex, and I see thousands upon thousands (read: several) of mobile uploads and Instagrams of everyone I know doing cool, fun, social things — things that I wasn’t invited to, or things that I turned down because I just wanted a quiet night.

I’m sure the above scenario feels at least somewhat familiar.

You are having a nice, quiet evening at home and suddenly, you’ve fundamentally failed. Everyone you know is out and socializing and making sure you know about it. Your news feed screams: “I’m at a concert! I went to a cool restaurant! We’re out socializing!

It’s 11 p.m., and you’re … watching The Emperor’s New Groove and wearing pajamas?”

Maybe I’m being oversensitive, and social media isn’t actively trying to make me feel bad about myself. But it sure seems like it.

Just think about the very structure of social media: public communication. Yes, there are private

messages, but the entire structure of Facebook was revolutionary in its advent of widespread public communication. We often accept this as normal, but think about the last time you wrote on someone else’s wall. Couldn’t you have conveyed the same information via private chats?

Sometimes the publicity of wall posts is necessary. But most of the time, the reason for the publicity is the desire to make sure everyone is aware of your interaction, your friendship or your event. Think about something as simple as “I had a fun time last night :)” Why must that be a wall post rather than a private message? When I read wall posts like this, I really read, “Hey everyone, look at me: I socialized and had fun!” Indeed, when you write on someone’s wall, you are not solely communicating to the person, but also to everyone else who’s reading it.

This exhibitionism is inherent to social media: communication is no longer just communication.

It is marketing, and it shapes how we are perceived by our community. Facebook helps us sell to the world that we are constantly hav-

ing fun.

Social media takes on even more importance first semester freshman year, as it serves to validate via exhibition newly forming friendships. I’m sure you remember from your freshman year; beginning late August, the stream of mobile uploads appearing on your news feed is relentless. Many of them, of course, are from late nights out, often a picture of someone doing something weird with a caption that references some inside joke that no one besides the picture taker and the subject of the picture understand. In some cases, the caption of the picture, or even a tagged status, is purposely drunkenly misspelled. Occasionally, you see a mupload in broad daylight, perhaps of two roommates with a caption like “roomie love <3.” Of course, this phenomenon is not limited to Yale. It is prevalent at every undergraduate institution, and you are as likely to see such posts from your old high school acquaintances as from Yale students. This exhibitionist instinct is nearly universal.

One might argue that these muploads serve as reminders.

But a photo would sufficiently serve this purpose. No — muploads do more than remind; they validate. All new friendships in the Facebook era must go through this gestation, suggesting that if the public does not recognize a friendship (or an event or fun night), it didn’t happen. Friendships must be seen, and, more importantly, liked, to be recognized. Which brings up an interesting question: if a mupload is taken in a forest, and no one sees it, are the people even friends?

Did they even go out last night?

Are they even people?

I don’t necessarily think the need for validation is new with social media, but social media certainly facilitates it. I’m also not going to command you to stop muploading and wall-writing, so you can rest easy. Rather, I implore you to consider friendships and events for what they are, and not worry how many likes they will receive. An unliked mupload in the forest is just as valuable as one that’s heard all around.

Police recover thousands of stolen electronics

BY TASNIM ELBOUTE CONTRIBUTING REPORTER Last week the New Haven Police Department carried out an undercover sting operation, raiding local establishments that buy misappropriated Apple products in an attempt to stop thieves from snatching valuables such as iPhones and Mac computers.

This is much more important as a future message to people.

DAVID HARTMAN Spokesman, New Haven Police Department

The operation, called “Apple Harvest” required a team of two dozen officers and a group of detectives to search four local establishments in New Haven: Wireless Express, New Haven Furniture Plus, Elm City Wireless and Wireless Wizard. Five people were arrested during the undercover operation on various charges, including operating as a secondhand dealership without a license, which is a felony.

Yale students tend to be a target for Apple product thievery and students interviewed said that this raid serves as a reminder to be careful while carrying Apple products around campus.

The purpose of the mission was to deter future crimes.

Thieves can make between $75 and $100 for selling one smartphone to a disreputable dealer, according to a press release sent by the NHPD. The release said that by raiding these dealers, the NHPD hopes to send a “strong message” to criminals that this activity will not be tolerated in the future.

Unfortunately, the stolen items will likely not be returned to their owners. Though the police have completed the investigation, it is difficult for themn to return the recovered products due to the sheer number of items and the difficulty of identifying and matching them with their rightful owner, said New Haven Police Department spokesman David Hartman. He explained that the process of identifying the stolen phones and other personal electronics and pairing them to specific theft cases is overwhelming and complex, and many people whose phones are stolen do not have a record of their device’s serial number. The department has a 2,250 square foot property room that is currently filled with stolen products.

“There are thousands of cell phones to go through,” Hartman said. He called the process of matching the stolen phones with their owners, “virtually impossible.” He added that the police department has already received hundreds of calls from local residents trying to retrieve their electronics.

Hartman said that everyone with electronic devices should record their descriptions and

serial numbers so that if they are stolen the police can trace the item back to the owner.

Though the stolen items will likely not be returned, Hartman said the mission was far from a failure.

“This is much more important as a future message to people,” Hartman said.

The problem of apple product thievery is very relevant to the Yale student population, and though New Haven has not expe-

Harp, Elicker pick up new endorsements

BY MATTHEW LLOYD-THOMAS STAFF REPORTER Two major New Haven names lent their support to the Elm City’s mayoral candidates on Friday and Saturday.

For Toni Harp ARC ’78, the endorsement came in the form of Sergio Rodriguez, an alderman and former candidate for city clerk.

Elicker, a day later, brought in the endorsement of former Congressman Bruce Morrison ’73. While Morrison’s endorsement carried the weight of having served in the House of Representatives, he has lived away from New Haven since leaving his seat in 1991. Rodriguez, meanwhile, remains an active member of the New Haven community.

Whether New Haven voters will deem either supporter’s opinion significant enough to change the name they check on the polls on Nov. 5, though, remains unclear. Both endorsements were attended almost entirely by supporters of one candidate or the other, meaning that few attendees were likely to base their votes on the events.

Harp was the first to pick up an endorsement this weekend, with Rodriguez throwing his support behind her at Orangeside Luncheonette, at which Harp campaign staff frequently have breakfast. Rodriguez emphasized Harp’s record in the state senate and Board of Aldermen, as well as her commitment to the underrepresented as reasons for his support.

On Saturday morning, Elicker drew Morrison’s endorsement, whose son Drew Morrison ’14 leads Yale for Elicker, the campaign’s oncampus branch. The younger Morrison introduced both his father and Elicker as “rabble rousers” standing up to the democratic establishment. The elder Morrison, who began his involvement in the city as a legal aide, based his endorsement on Elicker’s work on housing, public safety and education. Beyond speaking to the issues though, Morrison took on the dynamics of the race, in which the establishment-backed Harp has long held the frontrunner’s seat.

“This election is not decided,” Morrison told the crowd. “This election is being decided each and every day up until election day.”

Rodriguez’s endorsement came a week after he conceded defeat in his bid to become the next city clerk, a part-time position few New Haven residents have heard of. He is currently the Ward 26 Alderman, although he chose not to run for re-

election in order to run for clerk. As alderman, he served on the aldermanic affairs, human services and tax abatement committees.

“We need strong, seasoned leadership,” Rodriguez said to a small group of Harp supporters and restaurant patrons alike, adding that Harp would help “the most vulnerable […] the homeless, the immigrants, the mentally ill, and those suffering from addiction.”

One day later, Morrison spoke at Dixwell Plaza in favor of Elicker’s candidacy to a group of approximately 50 people. The plaza is where he first began his political involvement as a legal aide while at Yale Law School, and sits across from what is now a mixed-income housing development filled with neatly kept homes. In the 1970s, though, Morrison said the area was fundamentally different, with a series of crime-ridden high-rises and other housing projects.

If [New Haven] is going to compete, it has to become a more attractive place.

BRUCE MORRISON ’73 Former congressman, Connecticut In endorsing Elicker, Morrison stressed the Ward 10 alderman’s focus on improving the quality of affordable housing. Morrison worked extensively as chair of the Federal Housing Finance Board, which he joined in 1995, four years after leaving Congress.

“If [New Haven] is going to compete, it has to become a more attractive place,” Morrison said, pointing to the development across the street as an example of success.

He said that Elicker was the right person to bring high-income jobs into the city and in turn the people to fill those jobs, many of which will require college degrees.

While at Yale as a member of the Law School class of 1973, Morrison developed a continuing friendship with Bill and Hillary Clinton, both LAW ’73, and Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal Law ’73. Morrison returned to New Haven this weekend partly for the endorsement and partly to attend his class’s 40th reunion.

However, after over 20 years in Washington, D.C., the extent of Morrison’s continuing name recognition in the Elm City is unclear.

While two people interviewed at the

endorsement remembered him from their time living in the city while he was in Congress, others present — including Elicker — moved to the city long after Morrison left. Asked if anyone in New Haven remembered him, Morrison maintained that he was not entirely forgotten in the Elm City.

“Some of the people here remember me,” he told the News. “Some people have introduced themselves as the children of people I worked with.”

Beyond Morrison’s support, though, some of the most fundamental tensions of this year’s mayoral race were on display.

Standing behind Elicker and both Morrisons through their speeches was Kermit Carolina, the Hillhouse High School principal and former mayoral candidate who endorsed Elicker in mid-September. Carolina, who is black, has been heavily criticized for not endorsing Harp, who is also black.

Yale Professor and New Haven historian Douglas Rae said that Dixwell is the most historically black neighborhood in the city, dating back to the Civil War. Despite Carolina’s endorsement and Elicker’s efforts here, though, he suggested that it would not be easy for Elicker to sway black voters given the dynamics of the election, which he described as “black versus white.”

Despite the fact that only six of the attendees were black, Carolina was slightly more optimistic about support for Elicker amongst blacks.

“Although supporting Harp seems like a popular decision in the community, the fact that I’m opposing her has forced people to stop and think,” he said.

Also present at Morrison’s endorsement was organized labor — a rare sight at Elicker. Two members of Laborers Local 455, who have endorsed Elicker, stood in the crowd wearing union sweatshirts and hats.

The union consists of primarily construction workers. Throughout the election, Harp has capitalized on her extensive support from the city’s most influential labor unions, most notably Yale’s Local 34 and Local 35 and American Federation of Federal, State, County and Municipal Employees.

The Nov. 5 general election will allow approximately 20,000 independents and republicans to participate than the Sept. 10 democratic primary.

Abramowitz advocates solar power

KATIE CRANDALL/PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR

Yosef Abramowitz, president and CEO of Energiya Global Capital, discussed the urgent need for the United States invest in the development of solar energy.

BY AKASH SALAM CONTRIBUTING REPORTER America needs to take the lead in the shift toward green energy, and Yale students can help. At least according to Yosef Abramowitz, the president and CEO of Energiya Global Capital and cofounder of the Arava Power Company.

Abramowitz spoke to about 40 students Sunday about the dangers of climate change and how solar power can have a positive environmental impact. As Israel’s leading solar developer, the Arava Power Company built the first grid-connected solar field in Israel and aims to provide at least 10 percent of Israel’s electricity through solar power.

“It’s not rocket science,” Abramowitz told the crowd. “The world you are inheriting is rapidly changing. What are we going to do about it? What’s our responsibility?”

Abramowitz said the grim effects of climate change — such as severe droughts in Africa, tropical storms in the United States, floods in low-lying regions and water shortages — exacerbate world poverty and hinder educational efforts.

Rising carbon dioxide levels in developed regions are especially problematic, Abramowitz said, explaining that the resulting damage to the ozone layer will become irreversible within four to five years unless action is taken.

When Abramowitz first arrived in Israel, he said he found barren deserts and lots of sunlight but no solar power infrastructure. With years of experience at non-governmental organizations under his belt, Abramowitz, along with a few colleagues, decided to found the Arava Power Company, he said.

“When we got started, we had no idea what we were doing,” he said.

Though his company is for-profit, Abramowitz said its mission is to promote positive environmental change for the planet. He added that he believes incorporating business practices with a nonprofit-like mission is an effective

way to handle a crisis like global warming.

Non-governmental organizations do not have the resources to bring electricity to the masses, but companies can often use their capital to find efficient ways to solve world problems, he said.

“You have to be prepared to fail,” Abramowitz said. “In Israel, people are not afraid to fail, so we are risk takers.

And by taking risks, we innovate.”

Abramowitz said the world is locked into a system in which thousands of people are killed because of disputes over oil reserves. Oil companies are indirectly affecting global politics and harming the planet because of their negative influence on geopolitics and oil’s contributions to global warming, he said.

People should be “outraged” at oil companies for their irresponsibility, and Yale students should take risks to bring about change, he said.

“It’s kind of obvious,” Abramowitz said. “We are being irresponsible. Somebody has to lead. America has to lead.

You have to lead — good luck with that.”

Students interviewed said they thought Abramowitz provided a thought-provoking perspective on how to deal with climate change.

“It was inspiring and hopeful that individuals can bring together private capital and structure to make positive change,” Jon Silverstone ’15 said. But he added, “It’s going to take a global effort to bring positive change.”

Emma Ryan ’17 said she found Abramowitz’s arguments for using a business model to bring about social justice interesting. Eliza Dach ’17 said she was struck by Abramowitz’s description of how oil companies are indirectly affecting wars.

“America is an influential power — why aren’t we acting?” she said.

The Arava Power Company was founded in 2006.

FROM THE FRONT

“I’m undaunted in my quest to amuse myself by constantly changing my hair.”

HILLARY CLINTON AMERICAN DIPLOMAT

Clinton talks past and future at Law reunion CLINTON FROM PAGE 1 dedicated concern for children’s welfare, she said.

Several times throughout her speech, Clinton mentioned her new “Too Small to Fail” initiative — a project that aims to improve the health and well-being of children under five years old through research and education outreach to parents and businesses.

“If you want to know about the moral, economic and social health of a society, look at the children,” Clinton said.

In his opening remarks before her speech, Yale Law School Dean Robert C. Post LAW ’77 called Clinton an “advocate, a practitioner … and a teacher, both to the nation and to the world.” Post added that some have speculated Clinton “might sometime soon seek to add one last elusive line to her resume” — a line that was greeted with thundering applause.

Ted Kennedy Jr. FES ’91 — son of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy — told the News after Clinton’s speech that he was impressed at how Clinton tied together her education at Yale and her thoughts on today’s political and economic climate. Kennedy added that he particularly enjoyed Clinton speaking of children as the “canaries in the coal mine” of American society.

But some audience members were dissatisfied by the scope of Clinton’s speech. Wayne Lueders LAW ’73, a graduate of YLS in Clinton’s year, said he wished she had mentioned whether she plans on entering the presidential race in 2016. Nancy Pick LAW ’88 said she was disappointed that Clinton didn’t “attack the Republicans.”

Overall, reactions to the speech from students and alumni interviewed were positive.

Many audience members throughout the crowd sported “Ready for Hillary” stickers, which were handed out by a student group associated

with the Ready for Hillary political action committee.

“It was such a thoughtful and substantive speech,” Mike Shapiro LAW ’16 said.

If you want to know about the moral, economic and social health of a society, look at the children.

HILLARY CLINTON LAW ’73 Former U.S. secretary of state Andrew Park LAW ’08 said he was impressed by the “glimpse of her as a human being,” adding that he loved Clinton’s nostalgic tales of her time at YLS. Post joked that the years 1969 to 1973 are known in the official history of YLS as “the dark ages,” due to the alternative social climate and frequent campus protests. But Clinton’s speech abounded with fond memories of her time at YLS — she spoke about helping to put out a fire in a library and meeting her husband Bill Clinton LAW ’73 for the first time in the YLS Library.

“It was definitely a walk down memory lane,” Lueders said.

Among those present in the audience were University President Peter Salovey, former U.S. President Bill Clinton LAW ’73, former Sen. John Danforth and Sen. Richard Blumenthal.

Clinton — who was one of 27 women in her graduating class, out of a total 235 students — served as the U.S. secretary of state from 2009 to 2013. Before that, she served as a U.S. senator from 2001 to 2009.

West Campus nursing facility sees opening NURSING FROM PAGE 1 Active Learning (TEAL) classroom.

Two years ago, former University President Richard Levin approached Grey with the idea to improve the school’s facilities. When West Campus offered to host the school as part of a larger effort to populate the new facility, the School of Nursing decided it made more sense to move than to remain at the old space.

“Our former building really didn’t meet the needs for 21st century education — to renovate the old space really would not have ever resulted in what we have in our building on West Campus,” Grey said.

Despite the promise of these improved amenities, some YSN students expressed concern after the University announced that it would isolate the school from main campus and the School of Medicine, where many of their academic and social activities take place.

While shuttles between West Campus and New Haven used to run every hour, they now run every 20 minutes.

“It is, in a sense, inconvenient to be so far away from the rest of the Yale community. But, at the same time, there is a West Campus community developing that is nice to be a part of,” Lisa Spencer YSN ’15 said.

Chelsea Hinchey YSN ’15 said she thought the new facility

was a great improvement from the school’s old home, citing enhanced classroom technology and perks like their own cafeteria and fitness center.

Salovey told the crowd on Friday that the school’s new West Campus home is “one of the enviable new spaces on campus.” While some were initially concerned that the school would be isolated from central campus, Salovey said the new home has generated great excitement within the Yale community.

In a surprise announcement, Salovey, whose mother was a nurse, said his family will sponsor a student scholarship at the school.

Yale acquired West Campus from Bayer Pharmaceuticals in 2007, and Vice President for West Campus Planning & Program Development Scott Strobel said the arrival of the School of Nursing marks a turning point for the facility.

“I am just so happy that, in just a few short years, West Campus has become such an important part of our University,” Salovey said.

On Saturday, YSN held an Alumni Day, which included open tours of the facility and a speaker panel on health-care reform, as well as a banquet to celebrate the School’s 90th anniversary.

Chabad at Yale dedicates new building

BY SHAYNA OTIS CONTRIBUTING REPORTER Chabad at Yale, an organization that serves the University’s Jewish community, celebrated the opening of its new building on Sunday.

More than 200 people gathered to witness the ribbon-cutting for Chabad’s new building at 36 Lynwood Place, including University President Peter Salovey and Connecticut Governor Dan Malloy. The new $4 million building, which is more than nine times the size of Chabad’s former venue on Edgewood Avenue, officially opened for Friday Shabbat dinners and holiday services in September, though construction workers were still putting the finishing touches on the center until last Friday. Students interviewed said the expanded building will help Chabad at Yale become a larger presence in the Yale community.

When [Rabbi Shua Rosenstein] and I moved here, picturing this building would have been a mirage.

SARA ROSENSTEIN “The job of growth [for Chabad at Yale] starts now,” Rabbi Shua Rosenstein, co-director of Chabad at Yale, said at the ceremony. “[We want to] reach out to every single person, to invite them in, to give them a hug and to invite them home.”

Before the ribbon-cutting,

Salovey and Malloy addressed the crowd, which filled almost half of a city block despite the impending rain.

Beginning with a warm greeting in Hebrew, Salovey commended Chabad for having built a strong presence at Yale and for reaching out to students “with an incredible tone of acceptance and warmth.” The new building will give Chabad enough space to become a center of Jewish study on campus, he said.

Sara Rosenstein, Shua’s wife and the other director of the organization, thanked all donors who contributed to the organization’s $6 million fundraising campaign, which enabled Chabad to build the new complex and establish a $2 million endowment to support the organization’s operating costs.

“When [Rabbi Shua Rosenstein] and I moved here, picturing this building would have been a mirage,” she said. “Thank you for being part of our family and for giving us our home.”

Jillian Merns ’05, one of the original members of Chabad at Yale, told the News that the new building and endowment will enable Chabad at Yale to offer many more programs in addition to dinners and classes. Merns said she joined Chabad at Yale back when the organization met weekly in a rented room in the Taft Apartments.

The organization is newly dedicated in memory of Alice Lewin Bender MUS ’34, with a new name, the Alice Bender Chabad House. The new building, called the Berger Family Building, is dedicated to Martin Berger.

In his speech, Norman Bender said his mother had insisted no one would remember her after her passing. Referencing the organization’s new name, the Alice Bender Chabad House, Bender told the crowd that no one would forget his mother’s name now.

Brad Berger, Martin’s son, told the News he was initially skep-

tical when he heard about Shua Rosenstein’s plan to build a multimillion dollar new center.

“I thought he was crazy that he wanted to raise all this money,” he said. “[But] Chabad taught him that nothing is impossible.”

Members of the organization interviewed said they hope Chabad can retain its signature “homey” feel despite the larger size of the new center.

Anna Baron ’16, who regu-

larly attends Shabbat dinners on Friday at the center, said the organization has been experimenting with different table configurations to try to create the most welcoming atmosphere in the new building.

Berger told the News that he predicts Chabad will continue to encounter “growing pains” as the organization adjusts to its new venue.

Chabad houses such as Chabad

at Yale are part of an international movement to make traditional Jewish study and practice accessible to Jews of all backgrounds.

Other organizations that serve the Jewish community at Yale include the Joseph Slifka Center for Jewish Life at Yale and the Eliezer Society.

LAMP Festival brings together artists and performers

BY LILLIAN CHILDRESS AND DAVID KURKOVSKIY CONTRIBUTING REPORTERS

NICK DEFIESTA/CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER

Arts lovers at the LAMP Festival were capitvated by the many traditional art works and exciting interactive pieces.

Hundreds of people flocked to New Haven’s Ninth Square District on Friday night to attend the third annual Light Artists Making Places (LAMP) Festival.

The festival, unique to New Haven, is an art, music and culture festival focused around the use of light to make art.

LAMP was conceived by the group 9Arts, a collection of artists and volunteers from the historic Ninth Square area, according to the festival’s website. The festival was combined with the annual Citywide Open Studios event put on by galleries in the area.

The theme of this year’s festival was “The Phantom Shippe,” a local historical legend based on the “Ghost Ship” of 1647, chosen to celebrate New Haven’s 375th anniversary. The Ship has inspired artists and poets, including Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, for centuries, according to Christopher Arnott in an article of New Haven Living Magazine.

The festival took place in several different galleries, performance spaces and outdoor lots throughout the Ninth Square District. The sides of buildings were lit with colorful projections, and the sounds of drums, guitars and ethereal noises wafted through the night air. Throughout the night, attendees wandered among the festival’s exhibits, murmuring

in hushed amazement.

Candles, weighed down with sand-filled paper bags, lined the streets. A lighthouse on wheels, approximately 15 feet tall, also made its rounds through the streets, acting as a “beacon for the phantom ship,” according to the driver of the lighthouse.

The exhibits of live art enliven the space down here, which sometimes can seem a little dead.

KALEE SPRAGUE Attendee, LAMP Festival “The exhibits of live art enliven the space down here, which sometimes can seem a little dead,” said attendee Kalee Sprague, a Yale University library employee.

Many local galleries were open for the festivals, showing off exhibitions that following the theme of light and phantom ships.

The Grove, a local performance space, was one of the featured locations. Exhibits ranged from dancers performing with neon Hula Hoops, wire sculptures spelling out different words and even a staged mermaid autopsy in a room filled with blue haze and permeated with the strong scent of fish.

Local artist OluShola Cole

also participated in an exhibit at The Grove. Cole, who is a first-year MFA student at the Maryland Institute College of Art, came home to New Haven to present her first big piece in a gallery, an interactive piece featuring paper boats and a lobster net.

“I love the creativity [the LAMP festival] brings out in people,” Cole said.

Other exhibitions were not limited to the interiors of galleries and buildings in the New Haven area. Many of the thematic light exhibitions of the festival were dispersed among various parking lots in the Ninth Square District. At these sites, an artist would project a visual onto the wall of a building to musical accompaniment.

Edmond Deraedt, an artist from northern N.J., produced light paintings projected onto the wall of a factory. His artwork consisted of mixing viscous fluid and ink into different light solvents. As he mixed different fluids together to create his painting, music and improvisational dance accompanied the movements of the ink across his canvas.

Many of the same galleries are open on the first Friday of every month for the Ninth Square District’s monthly Gallery Crawl.

University expunges charges against Trevisan JOURNALIST FROM PAGE 1

CLAUDIA TREVISAN

Brazilian journalist Claudia Trevisan will not face any charges from her Sept. 26 arrest for trespassing on the Yale campus.

said.

The nonprofit advocacy group Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press requested that he represent Trevisan, Nevas said. Before entering private practice, Nevas was the executive director and senior researcher at the Yale Law School’s Law and Media program.

Yale did not have counsel present at the hearing but submitted a letter to the court supporting the removal of the arrest from Trevisan’s record.

“I write to confirm that Yale University supports Claudia Trevisan’s request … that the record of her arrest on Sept. 26, 2013 for trespass and proceedings related thereto be permanently expunged, so that the incident on Sept. 26, 2013 will not interfere with her ability to continue traveling to the United States for her work as a journalist,” Dorothy Robinson, Yale’s vice president and general counsel, wrote in the letter, addressed to Nevas and submitted to New Haven Superior Court judge Raheem Mullins.

Steven Duke, a Yale Law School professor and expert on criminal procedure, said he doubts the arrest “will have any serious adverse consequences” for Trevisan.

He added that the arrest seemed lawful given Trevisan’s actions, which he said made her “guilty of trespassing.” He said the circumstances further suggested Trevisan was a “security risk,” meriting the arrest and further investigation.

Nevas declined to pass judgment on the actions taken by Yale Police officers but said the arrest was “the result of a series of miscommunications and misunderstandings.”

“I believe that the University is as happy to put this behind them as we are,” he added.

The result of the hearing was “the resolution the University expected based on its decision not to pursue the charge,” University

spokesman Tom Conroy said in a Sunday email.

“The University has no problem with it,” he added.

I think being a victim of violence is unfortunate, but we’re journalists and we see these problems all over the world.

CLAUDIA TREVISAN Correspondent, O Estado de S. Paulo In statements last weekend, Conroy said the police action was “justified” given Trevisan’s “attempts to enter the private meeting and because she misrepresented her intentions to a police officer.” He said she was handcuffed “as a matter of standard procedure.”

Trevisan called the arrest an act of “violence” and said she was not trying to forcibly enter the seminar but merely to find out Barbosa’s whereabouts to interview him afterwards about a high-profile Brazilian corruption case. She said she told the arresting officer she would wait outside to conduct the interview, but that he arrested her anyway.

“I just want to put it behind me now,” she said. “I think being a victim of violence is unfortunate, but we’re journalists and we see these problems all over the world.”

Barbosa was participating in the Yale Law School’s Global Constitutionalism Seminar, an annual forum and discussion with leading international jurists that is closed to the public and to the press.

Failed adoptions stir outrage

BY DAVID CRARY ASSOCIATED PRESS Half a world away from her birthplace in Ethiopia, teenager Hana Williams died on a rainy night in the backyard of what a prosecutor called a “house of horrors” — the rural home of her adoptive family in Washington state.

The official causes of her death, after being forced outside as punishment, were malnutrition and hypothermia. Authorities said Hana, during three years of adoption, had been beaten repeatedly with switches, starved and made to sleep in a locked closet.

The parents, Larry and Carri Williams, have been convicted of manslaughter and face sentencing Oct. 29.

Yet more than two years after Hana’s death in May 2011, few meaningful steps have been taken by state policymakers to reduce the chances of other adopted children suffering such abuse. A task force offered detailed recommendations, and one limited bill was introduced in Washington’s legislature but died in committee this year after raising some concerns that it might infringe on parental rights.

“We really are struggling to find something that will be both effective and constitutional,” said the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Mary Helen Roberts, who plans to continue her efforts.

While most adoptions are successful, the Williams case is among several recent grim adoption developments around the U.S., prompting urgent calls for better safeguards and more post-adoption support. Yet many of those making the appeals admit to frustration, having sounded alarm bells before, and they hold out little hope for prompt, sweeping responses that would strengthen international and domestic adoptions nationwide.

A key reason is the nature of adoption in America — marked by inconsistent laws, incomplete data and the lack of any central authority. There are no authoritative statistics on the number of adoptions that fail, no reliable source of federal funding for post-adoption services. And there is a multitude of passionate organizations with often diverging views on how to maximize success stories and minimize tragedies.

“There are so many different perspec-

“What we are advocating for is the best possible situation for a child and his or her newly formed family,” she said. “We can’t seem to get through the political challenges to make it a reality.”

We really are struggling to find something that will be both effective and constitutional.

MARY HELEN ROBERTS U.S. representative, Washington Hana Williams’ death, while notable in its sad details, was far from an isolated tragedy. A report compiled after her death documented 14 other cases of severe abuse or neglect of adopted children in Washington from 2009 to 2011.

Other cases of adoptions gone wrong have been highlighted by Russia, which last year banned adoptions of Russian children by Americans. Though the move was part of a broader political skirmish, it afforded Moscow the opportunity to complain about mistreatment and lack of postadoption oversight. About 20 Russian adoptees have died at the hands of their American parents, and in 2010, a Tennessee woman sent her 7-year-old adopted Russian son back to Moscow on a plane alone after losing patience with his behavior.

More recently, articles by the Reuters news agency in September detailed a phenomenon known as “re-homing” in which adoptive parents who’ve grown frustrated with a child — often one adopted from abroad — arranged through Internet sites for another family to take the child.

The websites were not regulated by any government authority and the families taking the adopted children were not subject to any screening, in some cases leading to incidents of mistreatment. Advocacy groups are now calling for such childswapping to be outlawed or subject to oversight by state child-protection workers.

WASHINGTON — A government shutdown is having farreaching consequences for some, but minimal impact on others.

Mail is being delivered. Social Security and Medicare benefits continue to flow.

But vacationers are being turned away from national parks and Smithsonian museums, and that’s having a ripple effect on those businesses and communities that rely on tourism. Borrowers applying for a mortgage can expect delays, particularly many low-to-moderate income borrowers and first-time homebuyers.

AIR TRAVEL

Federal air traffic controllers remain on the job and airport screeners continue to funnel passengers through security checkpoints. But safety inspections of planes, pilots and aircraft repair stations by government workers have ceased because federal inspectors have been furloughed.

INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL

The State Department would continue processing foreign applications for visas and U.S. applications for passports, since fees are collected to finance those services.

Embassies and consulates overseas are expected to remain open and provide services for U.S. citizens abroad. A small, but undisclosed, number of employees have been furloughed from several programs, including the State Department’s Office of Inspector General and the International Boundary and Water Commission.

Force studied in DC police chase

BY LARRY NEUMEISTER AND ERIC TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Police in Washington are reviewing the use of officers’ deadly force in the killing of a woman who tried to ram her car through a White House barrier, a shooting her family says was unjustified.

The investigation will reconstruct the car chase and shooting, which briefly put the U.S. Capitol on lockdown, and explore how officers dealt with the driver and whether protocols were followed.

Senate Sergeant at Arms Terrance Gainer said he was confident the officers “did the best they could under the situation.” Police guarding national landmarks must make fast decisions without the luxury of all the facts, especially when a threat is perceived, he said.

“This is not a routine highway or city traffic stop. It is simply not that,” Gainer said Saturday. “The milieu under which we’re operating at the United States Capitol and I suspect at the White House and at icons up in New York is an anti-terrorism approach, and that is a difference with a huge, huge distinction.”

Capitol Police Chief Kim Dine said that

while the shooting remains under investigation, he was proud of his officers’ “heroic” response and their overall efforts in protecting the Capitol campus and keeping it open for visitors.

Still, the family of 34-year-old Miriam Carey called the shooting unjustified, and

We’re still very confused as a family why she’s not still alive. I really feel like it’s not justified.

AMY CAREY-JONES Sister of Miriam Carey some deadly force experts agree it merits scrutiny.

“We’re still very confused as a family why she’s not still alive,” Amy Carey-Jones said in New York late Friday after traveling to Washington to identify Miriam Carey’s body. “I really feel like it’s not justified, not justified.” Another sister, retired New York City police officer Valarie Carey, said there was “no need for a gun to be used when there was no gunfire coming from

the vehicle.”

Secret Service agents and Capitol Police officers fired shots during the Thursday afternoon encounter, which began when Carey — in a black Infiniti with her 1-yearold daughter — rammed a White House barricade and was pursued by police toward the Capitol during a high-speed chase.

D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said she was confident after the shooting that Carey’s actions were “not an accident,” but the department’s internal affairs division is investigating as part of standard protocol.

Carey struck a Secret Service agent with her car at the White House and reversed her vehicle into a police car, authorities say. A Capitol Police officer was also injured. Both are expected to recover.

Experts in the use of deadly force said there were more questions than answers at this point. Many police departments direct their officers not to fire at moving vehicles — even if the driver is using the car as a weapon — or permit it under extremely limited circumstances. And experts wondered whether police should have relied on other options, such as establishing a roadblock, to diffuse the situation.

Social Security and Medicare benefits continue to be paid out, but there could be delays in processing new disability applications. Unemployment benefits are also still going out.

FEDERAL COURTS

Federal courts continue to operate normally and will do so until mid-October. If the shutdown continues, the judiciary would have to begin furloughs of employees whose work is not considered essential. But cases would continue to be heard. The Supreme Court also says its business will go on despite the ongoing shutdown, and the high court will hear arguments Monday and will continue do so through at least the end of next week.

The Supreme Court announced on its website that its building will be open to the public during its usual hours.

MAIL

Deliveries continue as usual because the U.S. Postal Service receives no tax dollars for day-today operations. It relies on income from stamps and other postal fees to keep running.

RECREATION

All national parks are closed.

Grand National Canyon National Park was shut down for only the second time since it was created in 1919. The Grand Canyon averages 18,000 tourists per day in October, which has left hotels, concessionaires and tour operators losing money by the hour.

In Washington, monuments along the National Mall have been closed, as have the Smithsonian museums, including the National Zoo. Among the visitor centers that have closed: the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island in New York, Independence Hall in Philadelphia and Alcatraz Island near San Francisco.

Libya bristles at U.S. raid that captured militant

BY TONY G. GABRIEL AND ESAM MOHAMED ASSOCIATED PRESS A suspected Libyan al-Qaida figure nabbed by U.S. Special Forces in a dramatic operation in Tripoli was living freely in his homeland for the past two years, after a trajectory that took him to Sudan, Afghanistan and Iran, where he had been detained for years, his family said Sunday.

The Libyan government bristled at the raid, asking Washington to explain the “kidnapping.”

The swift Delta Force operation in the streets of the Libyan capital that seized the militant known as Abu Anas al-Libi was one of two assaults Saturday that showed an American determination to move directly against terror suspects — even in two nations mired in chaos where the U.S. has suffered deadly humiliations in the past.

Hours before the Libya raid, a Navy SEAL team swam ashore in the East African nation of Somalia and engaged in a fierce firefight, though it did not capture its target, a leading militant in the al-Qaida-linked group that carried out the recent Kenyan mall siege.

“We hope that this makes clear that the United States of America will never stop in the effort to hold those accountable who conduct acts of terror,” U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Sunday at an economic summit in Indonesia. “Members of alQaida and other terrorist organizations literally can run but they can’t hide.”

Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, known by his alias Abu Anas alLibi, was accused by the U.S. of involvement in the 1998 bomb-

ings of the U.S. Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya, which killed more than 220 people. He has been on the FBI’s most wanted terrorists list since it was introduced shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001 attack, with a $5 million bounty on his head.

U.S. officials depicted his capture as a significant blow against al-Qaida, which has lost a string of key figures, including leader Osama bin Laden, killed in a 2011 raid in Pakistan.

Members of al-Qaida and other terrorist organizations literally can run but they can’t hide.

JOHN KERRY U.S. secretary of state However, it was unclear whether the 49-year-old alLibi had a major role in the terror organization — his alleged role in the 1998 attack was to scout one of the targeted embassies — and there was no immediate word that he had been involved in militant activities in Libya. His family and former associates denied he was ever a member of al-Qaida and said he had not been engaged in any activities since coming home in 2011.

But the raid signaled a U.S. readiness to take action against militants in Libya, where alQaida and other armed Islamic groups have gained an increasingly powerful foothold since the 2011 ouster and killing of dictator Moammar Gadhafi and have

set up tied with a belt of radical groups across North Africa and Egypt.

Libya’s central government remains weak, and armed militias — many of them made up of Islamic militants — hold sway in many places around the country, including in parts of the capital. Amid the turmoil, Libyan authorities have been unable to move against militants, including those behind the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, in which the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed. Libyan security officials themselves are regularly targeted by gunmen.

The latest victim, a military colonel, was gunned down in Benghazi on Sunday.

Several dozen members of the Islamic group Ansar al-Sharia, which has links to militias, protested on Sunday in Benghazi, Libya’s second largest city, denouncing al-Libi’s abduction and criticizing the government.

“Where are the men of Tripoli while this is happening?” they chanted, waving black Islamist flags.

Al-Libi’s capture was a bold strike in the Libyan capital. He had just parked his car outside his Tripoli home, returning from dawn prayers Saturday, when 10 commandos in multiple vehicles surrounded him, his brother Nabih al-Ruqai told the Associated Press. They smashed his car’s window and seized his gun before grabbing al-Libi and fleeing.

He was swiftly spirited out of the country. U.S. Defense Department spokesman George Little said he was being held “in a secure location outside of Libya.”

He did not elaborate further.

Egypt: 51 killed in bout of violence

BY HAMZA HENDAWI ASSOCIATED PRESS CAIRO — Security forces and Islamist protesters clashed around the country Sunday, leaving 51 killed, as a national holiday celebrating the military turned to mayhem. Crowds from Egypt’s two rival camps — supporters of the ousted Islamist president, Mohammed Morsi, and backers of the military that deposed him — poured into the streets and turned on each other.

Several neighborhoods of the capital, Cairo, resembled combat zones after street battles that raged for hours. Morsi supporters fired birdshot and threw firebombs at police who responded with gunshots and tear gas. Streets were left strewn with debris, and the air was thick with tear gas and smoke from burning fires, as the crack of gunfire rang out.

Sunday’s death toll of 51 was the highest on a single day since Aug. 14 when security forces raided two sit-in protest camps by Morsi supporters, killing hundreds.

Even as fighting continued in the streets, the military went ahead with lavish celebrations for the holiday marking the 40th anniversary of the start of the 1973 Mideast war with Israel.

In the evening, a concert was aired live on state TV from a military-run Cairo stadium where pop stars from Egypt, Lebanon and the Gulf sang anthems to the army and dancers twirled on stage before a cheering crowd. Military chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, other top brass and interim President Adly Mansour attended the show.

“There are those who think the military can be broken,” el-Sissi said in an address at the concert. “You see the Pyramids? The military is like the pyramids, because the Egyptian people are on its side.”

The clashes were the latest chapter in the turmoil roiling the country since the ouster in February 2011 of autocrat Hosni Mubarak. The new violence is certain to set back efforts by the interim, military-backed government to revive the economy, especially the vital tourism sec-

tor, and bring order to the streets of Cairo, where crime and lawlessness have been rife.

Morsi was Egypt’s first civilian and first freely elected president, succeeding four since the early 1950s who hailed from a military background. But after a year in office, Morsi was faced by massive protests demanding his ouster, accusing his Muslim Brotherhood of taking over power — and on July 3, el-Sissi removed him.

The military is now back as the real source of power in Egypt, and state and independent media have been depicting it as the country’s savior — with growing calls for el-Sissi to run in the presidential election due early next year.

Sunday’s holiday was an opportunity for Egypt’s leaders to further fan the pro-military fervor sweeping the country since the coup. But the holiday was also a chance for Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood and its Islamist allies to show that they are surviving a fierce crackdown that has jailed more than 2,000 from their ranks since the coup.

You see the Pyramids? The military is like the pyramids, because the Egyptian people are on its side.

ABDEL-FATTAH EL-SISSI Military Chief General Thousands of their backers held marches in various parts of Cairo, while at the same time crowds in support of the military took to the streets. In some cases, the two sides set upon each other, pelting each other with rocks and firebombs.

The Health Ministry reported 51 people killed nationwide, with at least 40 of them in Cairo, and more than 240 injured. The Interior Ministry, which is in charge of the police, said 423 Morsi supporters were detained across the nation.

Football lassoes Mustangs FOOTBALL

GRANT BRONDSON/CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER

Wide receiver Deon Randall ’15 (No. 2) caught seven passes for 79 yards as Yale upset Cal Poly on Saturday. The senior built upon a performance last week that earned him Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week honors.

BY GRANT BRONSDON CONTRIBUTING REPORTER Heading into this weekend’s trip to play FCS No. 19 Cal Poly, the Yale football team hoped to state its case as an Ivy contender. After a convincing 24–10 victory over the Mustangs, the Bulldogs went even further to put themselves on the national radar.

Big games from tailback Tyler Varga ’15 on offense and defensive back Cole Champion ’16 on defense clinched the victory for the Bulldogs (3–0, 1–0 Ivy).

Varga rushed for 114 yards, while Champion intercepted two passes and recovered a fumble in addition to his 13 tackles.

“I think it’s a big win,” wide receiver Deon Randall ’15 said. “It’s a national

statement that we can compete with anyone.”

Cal Poly’s (2–3, 1–0 Big Sky) opening drive started inauspiciously, with a block in the back bringing the Mustangs back to their own five-yard line. After the Mustangs had moved 50 yards down the field, Champion recovered a fumble following a poor pitch from quarterback Chris Brown.

Two drives later, a bad Cal Poly snap helped the Bulldogs block the Mustang punt and recover at the Cal Poly 40-yard line. Yale capitalized on the turnover, but the Elis had to rely on some trickery to get on the scoreboard. After marching down to the three-yard line, a fake field goal turned into a touchdown as quarterback Derek Russell ’14 kept the snap and leapt over Cal Poly defenders with 3:52

left in the first quarter.

The Cal Poly offense was unfazed, however. The Mustangs finished off a touchdown drive of their own when fullback Brandon Howe ran through a Yale defender for a 33-yard touchdown dash.

Though Yale’s next drive started with a big kickoff return from wide receiver Chris Smith ’14 and was aided by a late hit call, Yale failed to do anything. Quarterback Morgan Roberts ’15 passed to Varga on fourth down, but the tailback came up short of the first down marker.

The teams traded punts before Cal Poly drove down into Yale territory. On a rare downfield pass by Brown, Champion undercut the throw and picked it off.

“Cole’s a playmaker,” head coach Tony Reno said. “He’s proven every week that no matter where he is on the field, he

makes plays.”

Each team punted again, then Yale was able to capitalize on another Mustang miscue. The punt from placekicker Kyle Cazzetta ’15 took an errant bounce off a Cal Poly blocker and wide receiver/ defensive back Robert Clemons III ’17 recovered the fumble. But Cal Poly came away unscathed when it forced a threeand-out and blocked the 37-yard field goal attempt by Cazzetta.

Just before halftime, the Mustangs took advantage of their own special teams play. Seven quick plays netted them 37 yards, and kicker Bobby Zalud nailed a 53-yard try to break the deadlock and take the lead going into the break.

In the third quarter, Yale’s coaching adjustments shined through. After a personal foul penalty on the Mus-

tangs breathed new life into the Bulldog offense, a combination of Varga runs and Furman screen passes set placekicker Parker Toms ’15 up with a 31-yard field goal to tie the score.

When Yale next touched the ball, it was a third down penalty that saved the Bulldogs yet again. Another personal foul, this one a roughing-the-passer call, helped the Elis convert. A couple Furman passes got the offense into the red zone and tight end Keith Coty ’14 scored on a screen to make it 17–10 Yale.

The defense took the field for only the second time in the quarter, and for the second time, they held. Defensive end Dylan Drake ’14 sacked Brown to force a Mustang punt and Yale took over at their SEE FOOTBALL PAGE B3

Bulldogs bite Crimson in final minutes

BY FREDERICK FRANK STAFF REPORTER In front of a raucous home crowd, the Elis snatched victory from the jaws of defeat against archrival Harvard.

MEN’S SOCCER Yale (2–6–0, 1–0–0 Ivy) scored two goals in the last 2:15 to beat Harvard (1–6–2, 0–1–0) 2–1 and snap a five-game winless streak.

“It was exactly the kind of win we needed,” captain Max McKiernan ’14 said. “We showed some grit and that we can come from behind and pull off a victory which isn’t something we’ve done so far this season. It definitely gives us a lot of confidence moving forward in the league.”

Four of Yale’s six losses this season have come in one-goal games. In the Ivy League opener for both teams, Yale brushed its demons aside and finished off its late chances to kick off conference play in style.

The Elis, playing in only their third contest at home this year, dominated the game for large portions of time. Shortly after the whistle, forward Jenner Fox ’14 forced standout Harvard goalkeeper, Brett Conrad to make a smart save to keep the game tied. After the resulting corner kick, Fox saw his shot blocked before a foul on Yale relieved the

pressure on Conrad’s net.

Eight minutes later, Yale goalkeeper Blake Brown ’15 was forced into action to save what would prove to be the Crimson’s only shot of the half. Shortly after, the Elis pushed up the field and forward Cameron Kirdzik ’17 had his shot blocked in the 16th minute. Kirdzik, who has been one of the brightest players on offense for the Bulldogs, had two more shots in the 22nd and 24th minutes punctuated by captain Max McKiernan’s ’14 shot on target in the 23rd minute.

While Yale put most of the pressure on Harvard for the opening half, the Bulldogs endured a nervous moment in the closing stages of the period.

After defender Nick Alers ’14 was booked for a foul on a Harvard player in the 43rd minute, the resulting free kick was sent into the Bulldogs’ box, where it deflected unexpectedly and forced Brown into a goal line save to preserve parity. The Elis then had to clear a Crimson corner kick before the whistle sounded for halftime.

Harvard kept up the pressure after the break forcing Brown into making a save in the 52nd minute.

Yale would regroup through Cody Wilkins ’14, who only a minute and a half after coming on in the second half, saw his effort saved

The Elis swept their singles competition on Friday, including a 7–5, 6–1 victory by Ree Ree Li ’16.

WOMEN’S TENNIS FROM PAGE B4 great experience for everyone,” Sherry Li ’17 said. “The competition was great, and playing as part of the team was such a blast. I’m so glad it’s only just begun.”

The Elis were able to pull out eight separate victories over Virginia Tech and Brown as every member of the team defeated her opponent. These singles triumphs were highlighted by a dominant 6–1, 6–1 victory by Sherry Li over Virginia Tech’s Carol Kalhoun and by Annie Sullivan ’14’s victory over Virginia Tech sophomore Raluca Mita in straight sets.

In doubles, the team’s success was tempered lightly as it lost two matches against Purdue while attaining only a single victory over the Boilermakers, as Sherry Li and Madeleine Hamilton ’16 trumped Purdue’s Claudia Escribens and Andjela Djokovic 8–5.

The Bulldogs did manage to find success against an Ivy League adversary, Penn, as Courtney Amos ’16 and Amber Li ’15 won their doubles matchup 8–6.

On the tournament’s second day, Yale produced mixed results. The Elis struggled as they split matches against Purdue and Penn in singles. While Sullivan suffered a tough loss against Purdue in straight sets, Hamilton, the

2012–’13 ITA women’s tennis rookie of the year, pulled out a hard fought 7–5, 2–6, 6–0 singles win over Penn’s Kana Daniel. Furthermore, while Ree Ree Li ’16 suffered a loss in her singles match against Purdue’s Daniela Vidal, she managed to hang in for the day’s longest individual bout in only her second day of competition since an injuryshortened 2012–’13 season.

Overall, I thought the team performed really well for the first tournament of the fall.

DANIELLE LUND MCNAMARA Coach, Women’s Tennis In doubles, the Bulldogs won only one of their three matches against Virginia Tech. The day’s doubles highlights came against Dartmouth, as Hanna Yu ’15 and Amos scored an encouraging victory.

On Sunday Oct. 6, the tournament concluded for the Bulldogs as they faced Iowa in doubles and Boston College in singles. Sherry Li continued her strong play in the tournament, as she competed in both the No. 1 singles and doubles matches — and won both.

“Overall, I though the team performed really well for the first tournament of the fall,” head coach Danielle Lund McNamara said. “We played against some strong ACC and Big Ten competition, so it was a good measuring stick to see where we are with our level.”

Caroline Lynch ’17 was encouraged by the team’s performance over the weekend.

“I think the team overall did a really good job this weekend as it was our first tournament of the year,” Lynch said. “We are all really supportive of each other and its great to hear your teammates cheering your name.”

Ree Ree Li was also enthusiastic about the team’s performace following Sunday’s final matchups.

“We all fought and learned a lot from these matches, whether it was a win or a loss,” she said. “As our first tournament back as a team, it was wonderful to be competing alongside each other and we’re looking forward to continue representing Yale at Regionals in a few weeks.”

The Bulldogs will next compete at the ITA Northeast Regionals on Oct. 18 in Cambridge, Mass.

VOLLEYBALL FROM PAGE B4 Dartmouth, who entered the match having lost a five-set nail-biter against Brown.

Rogers again led the team with 14 kills as the Elis combined to hit an efficient .336 for the match. Polan exceeded her assist total from the previous night with 29, while libero Maddie Rudnick ’15 led the team with 14 digs. Steinberg rounded out the team with 12 kills on a .435 hitting percentage to go along with nine digs. Both marks were good for second highest on the team.

“The setters were getting me great one-on-one options,” Steinberg said.

“The whole team contributed to how well I played. It wasn’t just me.”

The Big Green came out strong in the first set, going toe-to-toe with the Elis until the very end. With Yale leading 23–20, consecutive kills by opposite hitter Emily Astarita brought Dartmouth within one and forced a Yale timeout. Rogers then came to the rescue, scoring two kills to give Yale a narrow 25–23 victory in the set and a 1–0 lead in the match.

Johnson said that the Bulldogs were prepared for a hard-fought match against the Big Green.

“We definitely expected a lot out of Dartmouth,” Johnson said. “We knew they were a very good team and that they were going to be gunning for us.”

Successful results are definitely motivating, but it’s just as important to look at the big picture and just use each regatta to learn and improve.”

The coed team also brought home a fifth place finish at the Jesuit Open at Fordham University, where skippers Mitchell Kiss ’17 and Clara Robertson ’17 made their regatta debuts for Yale.

A sixth-place finish in A division, led

by Kiss, and a seventh-place showing in B division, led by Robertson, carried the Bulldogs to fifth overall.

Bulldog underclassmen were also prominent at the Gardnier Invitational, hosted by the University of Rhode Island, while a more veteran group competed at the Women’s Olympian’s Regatta at Salve Regina.

Yale placed seventh in the eight-team field at the Gardnier, as multiple Bulldogs were able to put some collegiate sailing experience under their belts.

At the Women’s Olympian’s Regatta, Morgan Kiss ’15, along with Max Nickbarg ’14 and Mary Isler ’16, put together a strong second-place finish.

Middle blocker Jesse Ebner ’15 (No. 2) recorded 11 kills against Harvard on Friday, then added nine more against Dartmouth on Saturday.

Carter ’14, followed by two straight kills from Rogers, were enough to put the Big Green away.

It’s a morale booster,” Steinberg said, referring to Carter’s two clutch blocks. “It affects the hitters on the other side; makes them more cautious. I think that was really a huge turnaround.”

Polan recorded 10 of her 29 assists in that set, while Steinberg connected for five kills.

The final set was a Yale volleyball clinic. The Elis stifled Dartmouth with defense — they held the Big Green to just five kills after giving up a combined 26 kills in the first two sets — while dismantling them on offense with 17 kills. The final score was 25–12.

“I think our mentality of staying calm and strong and playing our game just elevated us [over Dartmouth],” Johnson said. “At the end everything just came together.”

The Elis will next take on conference rivals Penn and Princeton in back-to-back nights this weekend.

While the opponent is ever-changing, Steinberg said that the goal remains the same.

“We go into every single practice wanting to get better,” Steinberg said.

“Every single day, every single touch of the ball, we’re striving to improve.”

The Elis will play Penn this Friday at 7 p.m.

Urska Kosir ’15 captured third at the New England Women’s Singlehanded Championship. ago and sixth last year, Kosir needed to finish in the top five to claim a spot at Nationals. She did just that with a third-place finish, coming in right behind conference champion Erika Reineke of Boston College and Sky Adams of Brown.

“I am very pleased that I qualified, I felt ready, and I had fun and sailed a good regatta,” Kosir said in an email.

“There is room for improvement and I will keep working hard until the nationals, which will be happening in Newport.”

Both sailing teams will resume

action next weekend, highlighted by the NEISA Match Race Championships hosted by Salve Regina. The coed team is seeking to defend its title in the event and advance to Nationals. The women’s team will compete in the Women’s Navy Fall Intersectional, which is set to take place at the U.S. Naval Academy. The Bulldogs are looking to improve upon their second place finish in the Navy regatta last season.

Bernstein said. “We had good numbers as a team, and we’ve had three strong finishes to start this season.

If we continue to play at this level of golf, we know we can achieve our ultimate goal, which is to contend for an NCAA championship berth.”

The top performer for the Elis this weekend was Davenport, who finished in sixth place with a score of -4. Sean Gaudette ’14 recorded an eighth place finish with a score of -2, and James Park ’17 placed 14th with a score of +2.

Examining the results, it may have appeared that Davenport shot his worst round of the weekend on Sunday, posting an even par of 70 after shooting rounds of 69 and 67 on Saturday. But extenuating circumstances were in play: Davenport battled the flu all day on Sunday, and still

managed to finish strong.

When asked about the team’s overall performance in the tournament, Berstein said, “We’re a deep team. We started strong and limited our mistakes. It was a solid weekend of golf for us.”

Although the Elis were not able to defend their Macdonald Cup title, the team gained valuable experience this past weekend facing one of the best golf teams in the nation in Illinois. With a strong start to the season, the Elis look to continue proving that they can play among the best.

The men’s golf team will play its last tournament of the fall season on Oct. 19th at the Ivy League Matchplay, which will take place at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J. Contact KEVIN CHEN at kev.chen@yale.edu .

FOOTBALL FROM PAGE B1 own 30-yard line.

“When you make a triple option team throw the football, you’re doing your job on defense,” Reno said.

After a punt from each team, Furman’s pass was intercepted off of a deflection with 10:03 remaining in the quarter.

However, a sack by linebacker Victor Egu ’17 gave the Mustangs a longer field, and their option offense was unable to convert. The Mustangs had to settle for pinning Yale at its own two-yard line with a 48-yard punt.

The ensuing drive, however, was Yale’s best all year. On a third-down play, Furman pump faked and hit Deon Randall deep down field for a 41-yard gain.

“Hank threw it up there and let me make a play,” Randall said. “And I did that for him.”

Later in the possession, Furman stood tall and hit Smith for a full-extension

grab in the end zone to give the Elis a twotouchdown lead.

When Cal Poly took the field next, it was Cole Champion who again came up huge for the Bulldogs. Following two incomplete passes, Champion hauled in an interception to ice the victory for Yale.

We prepared for this game in the preseason. We knew that we had the potential to do this in the locker room.

COLE CHAMPION ’16 Defensive back, Football Though Yale’s offense was the one running out the clock at the end, the swarming Eli defense was equally responsible for

the victory; it held Cal Poly to a measly 13 rushing yards in the second half.

“We prepared for this game in the preseason,” Champion said. “We knew that we had the potential to do this in the locker room.”

Despite the final score, coach Reno remained unimpressed.

“It’s the next step in the process,” Reno said. “I’m just concerned with winning one game at a time.”

Yale travels to Hanover, N.H., next Saturday to take on Dartmouth (1–2, 0–1 Ivy).

Men’s soccer nips Cantabs MEN’S SOCCER FROM PAGE B1 his shot-stopping prowess.

It was shaping up to be another frustrating day for the Bulldogs, who had the majority of shots leading up to the last 20 minutes of the game but couldn’t seem to break through the Crimson net.

Conrad, ranked second in the Ivy League in saves with 38, and the rest of the Harvard defense, were repelling all that the home side could throw at them. A Yale victory looked to be even more unlikely when a Crimson corner kick was directed into the Bulldog net in the 69th minute. The 1–0 scoreline, resulting from a set piece play, resembled last week’s defeat at the hands of Quinnipiac.

But the Elis looked determined to get a result from the rivalry match in front of a large home crowd. As the Bulldogs applied pressure, Conrad and the Crimson stood strong.

As time dragged on, a result looked to be in doubt for the Bulldogs. However, the match truly got interesting in the 87th minute. After a corner kick, midfielder Henry Albrecht ’17 had a shot from 20 yards saved and forward Peter Jacobson ’14, who reacted quickest to the rebound, had his follow up attempt blocked up over the bar resulting in another corner kick opportunity. The resulting set piece was dealt with poorly by the Harvard defenders. After bouncing off two different players heads, the ball fell to midfielder Conner Lachenbruch ’15 at the back post. He jammed the unclaimed ball into the Crimson net from a yard out.

The tying goal lifted Yale fans at Reese Stadium to their feet while teammates piled on Lachenbruch

in celebration of the score, which came just two minutes and 15 seconds before the final whistle.

Just a minute later a Harvard player committed a foul that resulted in a free kick opportunity for Yale close to Harvard’s goal. From about 25 yards out on the left-hand side of the field, Musie, a sophomore transfer from Sweden, stepped up to take what everyone in the stadium knew would be a shot on goal.

The resulting shot redirected off the top of the Harvard wall and rolled into the net past the helpless goalkeeper to give the Bulldogs their first lead of the game with only 40 seconds remaining

As a senior, this is the best win I can remember. I’m definitely happy to finish my career with a winning record against Harvard.

MAX MCKIERNAN ’14 Captain, Men’s soccer on the clock.

“The first goal really fired us up,” forward Avery Schwartz ’16 said. “Overtime was definitely something that was in the back of our minds, but we had the momentum and we all thought that we could get that second goal. Seeing the second goal go in was unbelievable. There’s nothing better than beating Harvard.

We always believed we could come back. We’ve bee so close to putting it together all year, and we found a way to get it done when it really mattered.”

The goal sent Reese Stadium into scenes of hysteria with players, students, and fans alike celebrating the goal against the rival Crimson. The goal represented only the third lead that the Bulldogs have had this season. In the closing seconds of the game, Harvard threw everything it could up field to score and forced Yale into several long defensive clearances. In the Crimson’s haste to get forward, a Harvard player was whistled for an offside, effectively ending the contest.

As the final whistle blew, students and fans stormed the field to join the Yale team in celebration of the biggest win for the men’s soccer team this season.

“As a senior, this is the best win I can remember,” McKiernan said. “I’m definitely happy to finish my career with a winning record against Harvard. And to do it in such thrilling fashion is just the icing on the cake.”

Musie’s freekick goal in the 89th minute was his first career goal for Yale and was one of his three shots on goal in the contest. Yale peppered the Harvard net with 16 shots, forcing Conrad into 7 saves, and managed to pull out a late victory to start the Ivy League campaign with a 1–0 record.

The win represented only the Bulldogs’ second win in five years in a game decided by one or fewer goals.

“While we made every attempt to focus on the soccer aspects of the game last night, there’s no doubt that the intensity of the Yale-Harvard rivalry made the outcome even more special and exciting,” head coach Brian Tompkins said. “The fans were amazing; one of the best crowds

Midfielder Henos Musie ’16 (No. 12) scored the game-winner against Harvard on a free kick in the 90th minute.

I’ve ever witnessed at my time at Yale. They were a big part of the outcome and I want to thank each and every one of them for their energy and support.”

The Elis have a short turnaround this week with a game on Tuesday at University of Albany as well as a Ivy League game next Saturday against Dartmouth at Reese Stadium.

The Great Danes (1–7–2, 0–1–0 American East) are on a four game losing streak but have featured in four overtime con-

tests. Eight of their 10 games this season have been decided by one or fewer goals, so Tompkins said that the Bulldogs should be prepared for another tight contest.

“Saturday night was emotional for a number of reasons but it will be essential that the team narrows its focus and limits distractions for the next game,” Tompkins said. “Our experiences thus far have proven that there is no such thing as an easy college soccer game. We expect a very tough game on Tuesday and will

need to be focused and competitive to get the result we want.”

Yale takes on Albany at 7:00 PM on Tuesday.

Volleyball swept Harvard and Dartmouth in straight sets this weekend to extend its Ivy League winning streak to 17 games.

BY DIONIS JAHJAGA STAFF REPORTER Volleyball extended its Ivy League winning streak to 17 matches with convincing wins over Ancient Eight rivals Harvard and Dartmouth.

The Elis (9–3, 3–0 Ivy) spent their weekend dominating their

VOLLEYBALL matchups against Harvard (6–6, 1–2) and Dartmouth (7–8, 0–3),

defeating both schools in straight sets.

The Bulldogs came to play against the rival Crimson on Friday. The match was likely the most lopsided Yale has had all season. The Elis held Harvard to negative kill percentages in two of three sets, as the top two Cantab scorers, outside hitter Kathleen Wallace and middle blocker Caroline Holte, went without a single kill between them.

The Elis outpaced the Crimson in every statistical category,

recording more than double the number of kills, assists, digs and points as their opposition.

Outside hitter Mollie Rogers ’15 and middle blocker Jesse Ebner ’16 led the Bulldogs with 11 kills each. No Harvard player recorded more than four kills.

Team captain and setter Kendall Polan ’14 recorded 27 assists and 12 digs to go along with four kills, while setter Kelly Johnson ’16 just missed a triple double with eight kills, nine assists and seven digs.

“I think the whole team was just really excited,” outside hitter Brittani Steinberg ’17 said. “We also were just really prepared.

I think we generated our own energy and we came out strong.”

In three sets against the Crimson, Yale trailed only once — Harvard got the step on them to start the second set 1–0, but the Elis scored the next six points.

Bulldogs finish strong at home

BY KEVIN CHEN CONTRIBUTING REPORTER The men’s golf team did not capture its third consecutive Macdonald Cup this weekend, but the team has plenty to be proud of as the Elis finished strong in second place.

MEN’S GOLF Competing at home this past weekend at The Course at Yale, the Bulldogs faced a tough playing field that included Illinois, who placed fifth at last year’s NCAA championships.

As expected, the Fighting Illini performed at an elite level with four of the team’s golfers placing in the top five. Breaking several tournament records along the way, Illinois finished the tournament with a score of -33.

“This was a solid showing for us. We met up with last year’s NCAA finalist and a current topfive team in the nation and we were within striking distance of them all weekend,” Will Davenport ’15 said in an email. “It was a quality team effort, and our second place finish was a very convincing one as well, joining Illinois as the only two teams to shoot under par for the weekend.”

Still, the Elis played consistent and solid golf. Placing second in the tournament, the Elis carded a final score of -8, which was well ahead of Ivy League rivals Dartmouth (+23), Penn (+37), Cornell (+43) and Brown (+46).

With another strong tournament finish for the team this season, the Elis are more determined than ever to win the Ivy League championship. Captain Sam Bernstein ’14, who finished the tournament in seventh place with a score of -3, expressed satisfaction with the team’s result.

Yale captures Danmark Trophy on the Thames

BY JAMES BADAS CONTRIBUTING REPORTER In a weekend where both the coed and women’s sailing teams entered as the No. 1 ranked squads in the country, Yale came away with a significant victory as the coed team claimed the coveted Danmark Trophy, and, representing the women’s team at the NEISA Women’s Singlehanded competition, Urska Kosir ’15 nabbed a third-place finish to earn a spot at the Singlehanded Nationals.

SAILING Overall, Yale competed in five regattas over the weekend with the coed team racing in four while the women’s team featured in one. Of the four, Yale focused on the Danmark Trophy, hosted by the U.S. Coast Guard Academy on the tricky Thames River, as the premiere event of the weekend.

“The Danmark Trophy was definitely the big regatta of the

weekend heading in,” skipper Graham Landy ’15 said. “Winning there was pretty big. The Thames River is one of the more challenging venues in college sailing, so to show a consistency through both positions was something to be proud of.”

Landy sailed the A division alongside crew Katherine Gaumond ’15, where the duo dominated despite the strong current and gusts of wind that resulted in multiple delays over the weekend. Skipper Ian Barrows ’17, with crews Charlotte Belling ’16 and Meredith Megarry ’17, ended the event fourth in B division, finishing outside the top ten just once in 10 individual races.

The A division win paired with the B division consistency aided Yale to only its second victory in the Danmark Trophy in recent history.
