Law School: Too Yale to fail?

I

n an increasingly competitive job market, law schools across the country are debating how make their graduates more competitive. While Yale Law School is known for its historically theoretical focus, the school prides itself on its unique mission to integrate practice and theory. But in the wider debate between practice and theory where does YLS stand? Lavinia Borzi reports.

By Adrian Rodrigues Staff Reporter

In the interest of making their graduates more competitive candidates for jobs, law schools have amped up their number of practically-oriented programs, instituting more business-related courses, law clinics and career center initiatives. But a debate has emerged among scholars and legal professionals: Should law schools focus on theoretical teaching, or do they have a duty to prepare students for their future careers?

Yale Law School tends to skirt the

On Friday, a row of students stood in front of the University’s main administrative building and chanted “83 percent,” referring to the percentage of student voters that supported divestment in a referendum last fall.

Divestment has been a long-standing topic of debate at the University since students voted in the Yale College Council referendum last fall to encourage Yale to reduce or eliminate its assets in the fossil fuel industry. On Tuesday, a dozen students set up a demonstration outside Woodbridge Hall to demand that the University divest its assets from fossil fuel companies as a way to fight climate change. On Friday, students took up the protest again — this time with nearly double the numbers.

In a single line, 20 students stood and faced Woodbridge Hall. The demonstrators — including representatives from Fossil Free Yale, the leading student group advocating divestment — held signs that read “Don’t Silence Me” and “Divest.” Though Fossil Free Yale was not involved in Tuesday’s demonstration, it did organize Friday’s protest.

Several of the protesters wore business suits to demonstrate their professionalism and commitment to resolving the issues through internal processes with the administration, said Fossil Free Yale member Gabe Rissman ’16. Levine added that the demonstration shows the Yale Corporation that students are taking the issue of divestment seriously.

Some members of Fossil Free Yale voiced concern that the group’s actions on Friday did

By Lavinia Borzi Staff Reporter When the global financial crisis hit in 2008, over 2.6 million people in the U.S. lost their jobs. No industries were spared — not even the legal profession, which had historically been among the most secure.

Upclose Wide-eyed college graduates used to flock to law school because it was the golden ticket to a stable

and financially secure career. But the legal environment has changed drastically since that crucial year. As the demand for law-related jobs has shrunk, law school graduates have begun competing more fiercely than ever before, according to law school deans across the country.

“Before 2008, we saw a lot of people go to law school because it was the best option,” said Robert Rasmussen, dean at the University of Southern California Law School.

“Now the students that I’m seeing are making a conscious decision that they really want to be lawyers.”

Installation auditions solar panels By aparna nathan contributing reporter The five new solar panels on Kline Geology Laboratory may not be harvesting energy, but they could help reduce Yale’s energy bill.

On Friday, the members of Project Bright, an undergraduate organization dedicated to increasing the presence of solar power at Yale, began installing five solar panels on the roof of Kline Geology Laboratory (KGL) on Science Hill. The test installation features a solar panel from each of the five major types commercially available, allowing Project Bright to determine the panel most suited for the New Haven environment. The data can be presented to the Yale Office of Sustainability to inform their future solar initiatives, said the founder of Project Bright, Maddy Yozwiak ’14.

“There aren’t many other installations like this, which take the currently available technology and compare predicted performance with what happens on the ground,” Yozwiak said. “A lot of panel manufacturers release that information and it’s just taken for granted.”

In 2011, Yozwiak proposed a student-led solar panel installation and received a threeyear loan from the Yale Office of Sustainability intended to fund student projects that could decrease Yale’s electricity usage.

The original plan for the project called for the expansion of a currently existing solar installa-

tion on the roof of Swing Space.

When this ultimately proved to be unfeasible, the team refined their plan to switch from a large energy-harvesting system to a smaller one that does not gather power, and only tests various solar panels. With the change of plans, Project Bright was no longer able to use the original loan, and instead received a grant from the the Yale Office of Sustainability, with additional support coming from the Yale Student Environmental Coalition, the Department of Geology and Geophysics and the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, Yozwiak said.

After scanning aerial maps of campus, the team chose KGL as the site of the installationfor safety reasons: Its flat, fencedin roof was designed for geology students to carry out weather testing. The roof was already home to one solar panel, used to power weather instruments, and some pre-existing scaffolding. An installation this size would be sufficient to power a house, but not a large laboratory building like KGL said Sam Kaufman-Martin ’15, installations and assessments leader for Project Bright.

Trained students carried out the majority of the preparation and installation. The scaffolding to support the panels and the electrical wiring were designed by students, although it was challenging due to the lack of members with electrical experience, said Julia Zhuang see solar page 4

Divestment protests gain momentum

Pierson freshmen triumph

Elena malloy/contributing photographer

The freshmen of Pierson College were victorious in this year’s Freshman Olympics.

By Rishabh Bhandari Staff Reporter This Saturday, the 12 residential colleges battled it out yet again for the annual Freshman Olympics.

Although the games were initially a contested affair, Pierson College eventually ran away with this year’s competition, garnering 3,500 points and breaking defending champion Morse’s twoyear reign. Jonathan Edwards and Timothy Dwight College came in second and third with 2,200 and 2,050 points, respectively.

As victors, Pierson also won a Freshman Olympics cup that Mory’s donated to FCC this year. Joel Bervell ’17, one of the two Freshman Class Council members

responsible for the festivities, said he hopes this cup will eventually become the traditional cup of the event be handed down from one winning college to another.

For the first year ever, the event’s organizers added a theme to the proceedings, choosing the popular movie series the Hunger Games.

The Hunger Games was a “no-brainer choice” given the competitive nature of the Olympics and the rivalry between the colleges, Bervell said.

Organizers and participants interviewed said they were pleased with the success and excitement of the games.

Spencer Rogers ’17, a cocaptain of TD’s team, said the cool but dry weather encouraged his peers to come out in

the droves.

“The weather was absolutely perfect, we couldn’t have asked for more,” Bervell said.

Although Friday’s thunderstorm forced FCC to move the Olympics’ opening ceremonies to Saturday, Bervell said this was actually a good thing in hindsight because the opening event stoked student excitement.

Stephanie Siow ’17, who organized the competition with Bervell, said the opening ceremony conveyed the lighthearted intensity of the entire games with its opening music. Each residential college’s captains and their most eager athletes ran around Old Campus while music from see olympics page 4

A just housing policy

Keep it crispy W

ith only a few weeks left in the term, we are entering a period of internship search grinds, Diplo Spotify sessions and long-neglected final papers.

As a second-semester senior, I want to share a few ways to spice up your everyday life during these crazy last weeks. In other words, let’s keep it crispy — do simple, small things to freshen up our springtime.

Create a new email signoff for friends. There’s nothing more sad than receiving an email from a friend that ends with, “Best, Jerry.” Come on, Jerry. Seriously. Do better. I’ve gotten in the habit of signing my emails off with, “Keep it crispy, John.” Feel the infinite joy I feel when I read that.

Other suggestions include: “Cheers” (for your friends working at the Yale Center for British Art), “Credo” (for your friends taking Latin) and “Goodbye, my friend, until the next time our paths cross, which may be never, given that you never respond to my emails” (for your friends who enjoy large doses of passive aggressiveness).

Go out on an unconventional date. Note: Asking someone to lunch in Silliman Dining Hall is not a date.

That’s called most Tuesday afternoons. Life is short; experiment by exploring new parts of Yale and New Haven.

This week is New Haven Restaurant Week, with discounts on 29 of the best restaurants in town. Go with friends, or ask that cute girl from your Grand Strategy section. If money is tight, keep it crispy by checking out the Yale University Art Gallery, taking a walk to East Rock or just riding on the Yale shuttle for a few hours.

Forward emails from Yale Student Employment to friends who would absolutely hate working those jobs. I recently forwarded an email titled “JobMail: Development of a database to contain experimental small-RNA abundance estimates over a wide variety of human tissues,” to a friend majoring in the social sciences. Absolutely hilarious.

Laugh at your friends’ attempts at humor. Be an equal opportunity laugher. Even if their humor isn’t good, you can make it so by laughing. I also suggest changing the orientation of your mouth while you do it to test out new forms of laugh expression. It completely alters the laughter paradigm. Try it out. Wow, you are far too kind.

Talk with your suitemates via the audio feature on Google

A

Translate. My suite started doing it during reading week of our freshman year, and our lives have never been the same. Conversations take on entirely new levels of meaning when done between the voices of computers with French accents.

Acknowledge your friends as you walk past them. I know acknowledgement is a low bar for humanity, but even I have a tendency to sometimes dart my eyes away from friends as I walk past them. Don’t be that person. Be the person indiscriminately doling out fist bumps and hugs at Commons breakfast, as you wait for your Yale-embroidered waffle to cook.

Forget your sort-of friend’s name? Ask them. It’s a crucial corollary to the previous point.

I often walk past acquaintances whom I’ve known for years without any clue of what to call them. Accept that awkwardness and ask for their names. They will forgive you.

Then you’ll be back on track, handing out platonic highfives on your way to physics lab.

Carry a musical instrument around with you. What could be more satisfying than playing the chords to “Call Me Maybe,” with students from your senior seminar singing along as you walk down science hill? For instruments, I suggest something compact, like the melodica or the ukulele. For locations, I suggest anywhere except in Robert Shiller’s Introductory Macroeconomics class. Come on people, the guy won the Nobel Prize in Economics. Give him a break.

Make up new names for things on campus. Add some paprika to the English lexicon. Examples include: Drop the Bass Library, Wednesday Night Frogs and the Houses that Charles B. Johnson built.

These last weeks will be difficult, and by no means do I expect my advice to revolutionize your approach to life.

Still, too many of my friends use excuses about time as a reason for dissatisfaction. Not every day will be filled with trips to New York City or parties with friends. A lot of our time is spent on the grind.

Injecting a little fun into our day-to-day can go a long way.

Give your struggle bus a new subwoofer. Add some brown sugar to your bland oatmeal.

Keep it fresh, keep it interesting and keep it crispy.

s a freshman, I would have chosen to live in a mixed gender suite next year, had the option been available to me — as a result of a recent decision from the Yale College Dean’s Office, it won’t be. But it’s not too late to open up that possibility for the class of 2018.

To all those in the administration who put considerable emphasis on Yale’s performance in relation to our peer institutions, I would like to point out that we are behind every other Ivy League university with regard to gender-neutral housing. The only other institution similarly trailing is Harvard — which at least has some gender-neutral housing options open to sophomores, through an ad-hoc process.

Even on our diverse and opinionated campus, student views on gender-neutral housing are fairly cohesive. According to a recent Yale College Council survey, a substantial majority of freshmen and sophomores support the extension of genderneutral housing to all sophomores. Moreover, 70 percent of upperclassmen living in genderneutral suites would have chosen that option in their sophomore year had it been offered. Over 90 percent of the upperclassmen asked state that the policy has had a positive impact on their residential experience. This data is accompanied by an explanation of contradictions within the present housing policies. How can one justify preventing stu-

dents of different genders from sharing common rooms while permitting them to share bathrooms, for example?

Among the philosophical arguments against extending gender-neutral housing to sophomores, I have heard only one brought up repeatedly: the claim that rising sophomores are not mature enough to commit to living in a gender-neutral setting.

This is nonsense. No data suggests that rising sophomores act less mature in their housing decisions. On the contrary, 62 percent of upperclassmen living in gender-neutral suites have said they believe sophomores are mature enough to do the same. Only 14 percent believe the opposite is true.

All students should have the right to live with peers of a gender to which they don’t feel sexually attracted. Under the current policy, we deny LGBTQ students an option guaranteed for their heterosexual counterparts: the most basic sense of comfort of living in a desexualized living space. That sense of comfort can also extend beyond individual suites, bettering the sexual climate across campus. Current policy seems to neglect the needs of students who identify as gender queer.

The Yale College Dean’s Office explains that gender-neutral housing could not be implemented for next year’s sophomores because of logistical concerns. If Yale College decides to offer gender-neutral housing to sophomores, all residential col-

leges will be forced to accommodate a greater number of housing constellations. A task force has been assembled to evaluate the feasibility of such a policy. As of today, students are awaiting the results of this decision.

students should push for genderneutral housing But it’s important to note that Dean Mary Miller would have been able to implement an adhoc gender-neutral housing policy this year without facing logistical obstacles. Under this policy, all rising sophomores would be able to petition for a genderneutral suite. YCC suggests that the dean or master of the respective college could make the final decision using criteria like maturity, relationships between the requesting students and potential ramifications of a rejection.

Clearly, this policy is not ideal. It could create feelings of discomfort for students forced to elaborate on their desire to live in a gender-neutral suite. However, if the alternative is another year without gender-neutral housing for sophomores, then the ad-hoc policy is definitely preferable.

I — along with many others I have spoken to — would have loved to live in a mixed gender suite next year and I deeply regret

the administration’s unwillingness to implement an ad-hoc policy for our year. While the past cannot be undone, Dean Miller now has the chance to make the right decision for the class of 2018. The new dean of Yale College will also have to deal with this issue, especially if we students continue pressing for change.

Dean Miller’s commitment to suggest to her successor the implementation of extended gender-neutral housing if it is feasible is not enough. We do not know when and if this suggestion will be fulfilled. Instead, Dean Miller should recommend the implementation of an ad-hoc policy for the next class. Students should be included in crafting the logistics of this approach.

Students should press the Deans Search Advisory Committee to select a successor to Dean Miller who prioritizes genderneutral housing by mentioning the issue in the YCC’s online form regarding the search. The Freshman Class Council has repeatedly discussed the issue of genderneutral housing and many members of the Council feel strongly about the extension to sophomores.

I hope the student body as a whole will place pressure on the administration to grant the class of 2018 something my class was denied: The right to live together with students of any gender. nils metter is a freshman in Ezra Stiles College. Contact him at nils. metter@yale.edu .

A simple survey

for energy.” ' CharlieWalls' on 'fossil free yale's mistake'

ast Wednesday, I attended the first meeting of the Dean Search Task Force. The group is composed of five students working to compile the results of the Yale College Council survey on the search for the next dean of Yale College. The survey asks about qualities desired in the next dean and issues he or she should focus on. It also solicits names of particular individuals who should or should not be considered for the position.

The responses received by the YCC so far are thorough and touch on a wide range of student issues, but there’s a problem — only 16 responses were submitted as of last week. In order to present a fuller, more representative view of what the student body wants in the next dean, more students need to respond to this survey.

YCC emails us surveys now and then, and it is not always entirely clear how representatives plan to use the results. This case, however, is different. The results of the survey, along with a summary written by the task force, will be passed on directly to the Deans Search Advisory Committee and President Peter Salovey. The committee will compile a list of potential candidates and Salovey will ultimately choose the new dean, along with the deans of the Graduate School and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.

This search is very different from the opaque presidential search in 2012. The Presidential Search Committee solicdiana ited student rosen input via surveys, town hall Looking Left meetings and a student liaison.

However, the student liaison was not permitted to attend committee meetings; he was granted access to only one member of the committee, a professor from the California Institute of Technology.

It is very well possible that in 2012 all student input was successfully communicated to the committee and that members of the committee took it upon themselves to advocate for students during the presidential search.

Yet without a student present at the meetings, there was no way to know if the committee was taking student opinion seriously.

This time around, YCC President Danny Avraham ’15 will be sitting at the table, and he will have the power to hold the committee accountable to student demands.

But in order for him to represent our opinions, the student body has

to communicate with Avraham.

The results of the YCC survey will be published, meaning that the public will have access to the list of student expectations for their next dean. If, for example, the survey results indicate that students overwhelmingly want a dean who will push to expand gender-neutral housing and the next dean does not follow through, it will be immediately obvious that he or she is not meeting student needs.

only 16 students have filled out the ycc survey on the dean search The survey responses thus far have touched on a number of topics that affect students on a dayto-day basis, including alcohol policies, grading, mental health reform, open data policy, wheelchair accessibility, STEM expansion, the new residential colleges and student contribution for financial aid. I am sure that there are plenty of crucial issues that have yet to be mentioned by survey respondents.

The survey results also indi-

cate student opinion on qualities desired in the next dean.

Should the next dean be a graduate of Yale College? Is it important that the dean be a minority? A woman? What kind of experience with undergraduate life should the dean have? Would a STEM background enhance the dean’s ability to expand resources for those students? There are probably many more questions that need to be raised in this regard as well.

I would hate for the summary of the survey results to misrepresent or underrepresent student opinion. With only 16 responses, that is a very real possibility. So take a couple of minutes to fill out the survey. You can find it in your email, or under the “Projects” tab on the YCC website.

It’s easy to feel that student voice isn’t taken seriously at a place where a disconnected corporation appears to unilaterally make decisions without considering student (or faculty and staff) views. But we finally have a chance to voice our concerns about the next dean, an administrator who directly affects every single one of us. With a student sitting on the committee, we can finally ensure that our concerns will be heard. diana rosen is a sophomore in Pierson College. Her columns run on Mondays.

Undergrads hunt through Peabody By stephanie rogers staff reporter While no animals came back to life on Saturday night, organizers said the first annual Night at the Museum at the Peabody Museum of Natural History was a rousing success.

Hosted by the Yale Undergraduate Society for the Biological Sciences (YUSBS), the event featured a museum-wide scavenger hunt that saw more than 100 undergraduates running around the exhibits to answer a series of questions about natural history. The night helped attract undergraduates to the Peabody and promote the YUSBS, said lead organizer and YUSBS director Angela Chen ’16. She added that the event exceeded expectations and that YUSBS anticipates making the night into an annual event.

There’s a really special thing that happens when you’re here with a small group at night.

David heiser Head of education and outreach, Peabody Museum “A lot of undergrads can’t attend tours or events at the Peabody that are from nine to five, so we wanted to open up the museum for a fun event that was after hours,” Chen said.

Participants searched all three floors of the museum to find answers to questions about minerals, meteorites, museum history, paleontology, evolution and Native American culture.

Teams learned that the approximate elevation of Machu Picchu is 8,000 feet, the famous Beatles’ song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” was the inspiration for the name of the earliest hominid species specimen, “Lucy,” a Tyrannosaurus rex skull on display has about 28 teeth on its bottom jaw and that lightning creates the mineral fulgurite.

The first place prize went to the team of Zach Miller ’17, Angus Mossman ’17, Genevieve Vi Fowler ’16 and Rebecca Beilinson ’16, who selected a FroyoWorld gift card for their efforts.

With a consolation prize of a Peabody pencil with a built-in rock collection, no team left emptyhanded.

Beilinson said while many students never find the time to visit the Peabody, the event gave them an excuse to go.

“Why not spend a Saturday night at a museum with dinosaurs?” said Tlalli Moya-Smith ’16, who attended the event. “It’s

YUSBS Treasurer Austin Igelman ’16 said that the night went better than any member could have expected, as Igelman said YUSBS did not expect many students to show up to the event.

In the past, the Peabody has hosted overnight events for younger children, but never for a college crowd, said David Heiser, head of education and outreach at the Peabody. Annual Peabody events such as the Martin Luther King Jr. Legacy of Environmental

and Social Justice initiative and Dinosaur Days target families and undergraduates only at the volunteer level, he said.

“There’s a really special thing that happens when you’re here with a small group at night,” Heiser said. “We’re always work-

ing to improve relationships with everyone.”

Heiser has spoken with Chen about creating a campus-wide scavenger hunt for natural specimens around Yale.

The scavenger hunt bonus question asked how Peabody staff

brought the Irish elk into Peabody, despite the animal being larger than the museum doors— they cut off the antlers and reattached them inside.

Shake Shack responds to health threat By sarah bruley Staff reporter On Friday afternoon, the front of Shake Shack was covered in a thick sheet of plastic and surrounded by workers wearing hazardous material suits.

Shake Shack closed down on Wednesday evening after an employee called in sick with flu-like symptoms, according to Bryan Murphy Shake Shack’s general manager for the local market. In response to the call, the restaurant hired workers to spray the area in and around Shake Shack to rid it of any potential disease. Following visits from a team of cleaners and a health inspector, the establishment reopened on Saturday morning.

“They wanted to have it closed preventatively,” said Paul Kowalski, acting director of health for the New Haven Health Department. “I think they were afraid it might have been norovirus.”

Shake Shack does not know what caused the employee’s sickness, said Thomas Lerou, assistant manager for Shake Shack’s New Haven location. The restaurant was closed as a precautionary measure to make sure the symptoms were not the result of a more serious problem, he said.

The decision to close the restaurant was a collective decision made by Shake Shack management after receiving the call,

Edwin Bragg, public relations coordinator for Shake Shack, said in an email.

After receiving a call from their employee, Shake Shack notified the New Haven Health Department that they would be closing that afternoon, said Bryan Murphy, Shake Shack’s general manager for the local market.

They wanted to have it closed preventatively. I think they were afraid it might have been norovirus.

Paul Kowalski Acting director of health, New Haven Health Department Usually the health department forces an inspection, but in this instance Shake Shack contacted the Health Department with the potential problem, Kowalski said. He added that this is “not very common.”

“This is the first time we’ve ever had someone close before they were told to close,” Kowalski said. “They did it on a preventative basis and I appreciated it.”

It is not Shake Shack’s official policy to shut down the restaurant when an employee is ill, but the manager made the call just to

be safe, Murphy said.

They contacted the Health Department first to keep them informed of the potential health risk so the department was not left speculating, he added.

“It’s not a policy,” Murphy said. “It’s just something we didn’t want to mess around with.”

The restaurant hired a private company to clean the location on Friday before calling in health inspectors to examine it the next morning, Murphy said.

After visiting the restaurant, the health inspector found no traces of virus at the location, Kowalski said. “[The health department] said we were clean,” Lerou said.

“They seemed excited to get a heads-up from us.”

Murphy said he does not expect the restaurant’s closing to effect future business.

Over half of the 12 Yale students interviewed said they were unaware Shake Shack had closed temporarily for cleaning.

Paolo Roxas ’17 said the closure speaks well of Shake Shack’s health standards.

Other local restaurants have not reported similar symptoms amongst their employees, Kowalski said.

Shake Shack opened on Chapel Street in September 2012.

Despite ongoing student protests calling for fossil fuel divestment, the Yale Corporation has yet to take action.

According to Fossil Free Yale member Alexandra Barlowe ’17, some members thought Friday’s actions were too confrontational, while others said the demonstration did not go far enough.

Barlowe said she was frustrated that Fossil Free Yale would not affiliate itself with Tuesday’s demonstration.

“Fossil Free Yale has established itself as a group that works with the administration,” she said. “But it’s a mistake that Fossil Free Yale only affiliates itself with that kind of work. I’d personally like to see it go further.”

A successful divestment campaign should not have to limit itself to working within established channels, she said.

“The purpose of the protest is to show the Yale Corporation that we will continue to push for our proposal,” said Fossil Free Yale member Gabe Levine ’14. “Now is the time to articulate our proposal.”

Late last week, the Yale Corporation Committee on Investor Responsibility met privately with the Advisory Committee on Investor Responsibility — a committee of eight professors, students and alumni that evaluates ethical issues surrounding the University’s investments — to continue discussions on the possibility of divestment.

Though the meeting’s notes are confidential, the CCIR, which has final authority, is expected to make a decision one way or another on the issue of divestment in the coming months.

Fossil Free Yale proposed the initial YCC referendum and has presented to the ACIR on several different occasions. Based on findings and data from Fossil Free Yale, the ACIR first met with the CCIR in February.

Yale Law School professor Jonathan Macey, chair of the ACIR, could

not be reached for comment over the weekend. The three members of the CCIR, Neal Keny-Guyer SOM ’82, Catharine Hill GRD ’85 and Paul Joskow GRD ’72, could also not be reached for comment.

Tebbe said she and her cocaptain, Dylan Onderdonk-Snow ’17, organized study breaks and texted their fellow Pierson classmates throughout the day to ensure that the college’s turnout was both high and also focused, with students coming out to play in events they were particularly good at.

Though a number of colleges embraced the new theme by creating Hunger Games inspired apparel — Pierson’s shirts read “College on Fire” — the events were mostly the same as last year, according to Maia Eliscovich Sigal ’16, student life chair of the Yale College Council and a FCC member last year.

Still, Sigal said she appreciated the ingenuity of this year’s FCC in adding a shavingcream-based Twister game and continuing some of last year’s well-received additions such as the rap battle. FCC representative Adriana Embus ’17 said this year’s Olympics also featured a sack race, a Rubix Cube battle and a “Riddle Relay” where each member of a team answered a unique riddle.

Both Sigal and Grant Fergusson ’16, who co-organized the Freshman Olympics last year, said this year’s attendance was lower than last year’s because this year’s FCC

broke from tradition in not offering a barbeque. In prior years, FCC organizers would take the meal swipes of the freshmen class to pay for a barbeque on Old Campus in hopes that this would encourage more students to attend and participate in the games.

“I’m actually pretty happy they didn’t have a barbeque because you’re not forcing students to stand around in Old Campus if they don’t want to,” Fergusson said.

“Although attendance was lower this year, the overall energy of the games was higher because only people who really wanted to be here were here.”

Bervell said the organizers made this decision because some freshmen had told them earlier in the year that they either did not enjoy or could not eat the food that would be available at a conventional barbeque. He added that the logistical challenges of hosting a barbeque were immense and the organizers could spend more of their time planning and preparing the games.

In prior years, attendees and college captains have criticized FCC organizers for either opaque rules or arbitrary refereeing. To prevent these complaints from being repeated, Bervell and Siow said FCC sent out a handbook to all captains explaining the rules to each game thoroughly.

Bervell said FCC organizers also repeatedly stressed to all referees — who were either YCC or FCC members — that impartiality was crucial to a successful and enjoyable games.

All 11 participants interviewed said they enjoyed this year’s activities and thought the events were well-organized and helped bring each college’s freshman class closer together.

Several students cited this year’s Assassin’s Games, which began as an advertising campaign for Saturday’s Games, as a particularly enjoyable event which elicited more collegiate pride than they expected.

“I was kind of surprised that such intensity and spirit was out there,” Fergusson said of the Assassin’s Games.

Still, in coming years, Siow said she hopes the FCC will continue enhancing its use of technology when covering the Games. This year, the FCC requested that the “kills” of the final Tributes be recorded on video and uploaded to the FCC Facebook page. Next year, Siow said she hopes more of the games will be digitalized and that the FCC will do a better job of using Twitter to update students on events and the changing scoreboard throughout the day.

Advisors from Yale supplemented the students’ training, including Kevin Ryan and Glenn Weston-Murphy, research support specialists at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences in electrical engineering and mechanical engineering, respectively.

Initial planning and design were carried out during the fall term, parts were ordered before spring break and the installation began on Friday. The turnout for this culminating moment was impressive, said Tess Maggio ’16, co-president of Project Bright.

“It was a really exciting

moment when we screwed in the first piece,” Zhuang said. “It’s the product of all our work.”

The installation is targeted to be finished by the end of the semester, so that data collection can begin over the summer and continue through the next academic year, Maggio said.

The panels will also be accessible to classes as an educational resource.

“Because it’s so safe and accessible, it’s an incredible learning tool for people to go up and visualize how solar energy works,” Yozwiak said.

Conference brings Native students together

By Akash Salam Staff Reporter This weekend, Yale hosted more than 100 students from several colleges for the 11th annual All-Ivy Native Council’s conference.

The All-Ivy Native Council is a student organization composed of Native American representatives from all eight Ivy League schools. This year’s conference — hosted by the Association of Native Americans at Yale and the Native American Cultural Center — focused on exploring Natives’ role in environmental sustainability.

The conference featured a number of events, including discussion panels, a speaker series and an open rehearsal with Blue Feather, a student-run Native drum group that performs traditional and contemporary powwow music. Organizers interviewed said the goal of the weekend was to help Native students sustain a traditional Native life in modern society and to never forget the cultural roots of Native traditions.

“From place-names, religious practices and resources struggles with external corporate and governmental entities ... Native peoples confront particular challenges in maintaining ecological balance and harmony,” said Ned Blackhawk, professor of History and American Studies and director of undergraduate studies for American Studies.

Christian Brown ’15, one of the head coordinators of the conference, said the event brought together a diverse group of speakers to educate students about the challenges Natives face. He added that panelists came from a broad range of geographic, social and cultural backgrounds, thus accommodating different student interests.

In the conference’s keynote speech, Dr. Karletta Chief — assistant professor of Soil,

Water and Environmental Science at the University of Arizona — spoke about her own experiences. She explained the hardships she endured while living on her reservation, where resources such as electricity were scarce.

Chief also described how she ultimately went on to receive a PhD and is currently seeking tenure.

Dr. Chief had everyone on the brink of tears while sharing her life story. It was a proud day to be a Native American at Yale. leanne motylenski ’16 Chief challenged other students to use their education to pursue their dreams.

“Dr. Chief had everyone on the brink of tears while sharing her life story,” said Leanne Motylenski ’16, who attended the conference. “It was a proud day to be a Native American at Yale.”

Other speakers included Douglas George, Vice President of the Hiawatha Institute for Indigenous Knowledge, and Melissa Zobel, an author and historian of the Mohegan Tribe. The topics of the conference’s events ranged from “History of Natives at Yale” to “Equality Versus Exceptionalism.”

Organizers said the conference was not just about the speakers and discussions — it was also about building a unified Native community across Yale and the rest of the Ivy League.

“We wanted to show off all the resources and the wonderful community Yale has to offer to Native Americans,” Brown said.

Yale hosted more than 100 students from several colleges for the 11th annual All-Ivy Native Council’s conference. he hoped students would become inspired to grow their own communities in their respective colleges.

To foster closer relationships, the conference included “icebreaker” activities, tours of various Yale attractions and the opportunity to learn about Native drumming with Blue Feather. In between these events, students socialized, played games and shared meals.

“It’s great to be able to connect with students from other Ivies and get to learn their stories and experiences,” said Maggie Sea-

wright, a freshman from Dartmouth College who attended the conference.

All students interviewed said they appreciated the conference, adding that the speakers resonated with everyone.

Stephanie Harris, a senior from Brown University, said she engaged the discussion on the Wampanoag tribe featuring Everett Weeden, a Mashantucket Pequot and Wampanoag elder. As a member of the Wampanoag tribe, Harris said it was refreshing to hear someone else talk about her tribe and the dif-

ficulties it has faced.

Others spoke of the friendships they made during the conference.

“I’m leaving with friends I’ve made from other schools and I’ve made closer connections with people from Cornell,” said Quinton Horton, a freshman at Cornell University.

For students, advisors, mentors and professors, the conference served to tie the Native community together and build for a more sustainable future, organizers said.

“We were blessed to have

elders such as Kanentiio Doug George and Tall Oak with us, and to hear them talk about our long histories and leadership around the environment and its stewardship,” said Dr. Theodore Van Alst, assistant dean of Yale College and director of the Native American Cultural Center. “I look forward to seeing the Ivy Native students move these discussions forward.”

Yale’s Native American Cultural Center was established in 1993.

Journalists talk science writing

kathryn crandall/photography editor

Four science writers addressed the challenges and importance of spreading scientific knowledge on Friday.

By rachel siegel staff reporter On Friday afternoon in Linsly-Chittenden Hall, four science writers addressed the challenges and importance of spreading scientific knowledge.

The discussion, “Breaking it Down: Writing about Health and Science,” emphasized the need for accurate and concise science writing accessible to the general public. Drawing from their own careers as writers, bloggers and reporters, the panelists — Randi Epstein and Lisa Sanders of the New York Times, Yale English professor Anne Fadiman and Curtis Brainard of Scientific American — reflected on the gaps they see in both medical

and scientific journalism.

Panel moderator and editor of Yale Medicine John Curtis asked panelists on how they decided to cover science and how they make their writing comprehensible to the general public. Most panelists cited science’s unpredictability and their general fascination with nature and medicine as draws to the field.

Epstein, who covers medicine for the New York Times, National Public Radio and Science News, said she chose to write about science because every story contained a new disease, a new issue or a new concept. Epstein added that medical writing involves both continual learning and teaching.

As an undergraduate, Fadiman

entered Harvard intending to major in history and literature.

Her interest in science writing began after she covered a solar astronomy expedition.

“I really didn’t know anything about solar astronomy,” Fadiman said. “But my complete lack of knowledge would actually be an advantage. If I could understand, I could make it comprehensible to others.”

Brainard, who serves as blog editor for Scientific American, said a journalist’s job is to become immersed in science that needs to be covered. For instance, fully understanding a field allows a journalist to put a new publication in the context of a larger body of research, he said.

All panelists agreed both jour-

nalists and the public should be wary of claimed scientific breakthroughs, as truly novel discoveries are rare.

“Anyone who declares that their work is brand-new is probably speaking from their imagination,” said Sanders, who writes the New York Times health column “Diagnosis.” “That’s just not how science works. It’s not how medicine works. Very few things come out of nothing.”

When asked for advice on how to start a career in journalism, Brainard said unpaid internships are important for gaining experience. Brainard urged young writers to be “indispensable” to editors—for instance—by coming up with innovative story ideas.

The talk closed by addressing the politicalization of science writing, including the recent public debate over climate change. Epstein said many writers claim to report objective news about climate change while in reality pushing a political agenda. Moreover, Brainard also noted that journalists often source experts without considering those experts’ motivations.

Sarah Eckinger ’15, co-president of the Public Health Coalition and a former photography editor at the News, said that the talk reminded her that while writing about science is a challenge, science writing performs an important public service by spreading awareness of new dis-

coveries.

“It can be really satisfying when you find a way to accurately communicate the findings to your audience in an appealing, readable way,” Eckinger said.

Editor-in-Chief of the Yale Journal of Public Health Meredith Redick ’14 said one of the challenges of science writing is providing the ideal amount of technical background information without overwhelming readers.

The talk was sponsored jointly by the Yale Public Health Coalition, the Yale Scientific Magazine and the Yale Journal of Public Health.

from the front

“If there were no bad people, there would be no good lawyers.”

Charles dickens english writer and social critic

Law School balances theory and practice law school From page 1 question altogether. Over 25 faculty, students and administrators claimed that Yale Law School does not have to make any compromises between the two paths.

Not only is it an institution that has topped law school rankings for years — it is also “just different.”

Faculty and administrators interviewed said Yale Law School has a stable identity, making it relatively exempt from the current debate on liberal versus practical law education. The school consistently gets a sizable slice of the job market pie — but it also remains faithful to the same ideals and principles it held at the time of its 1843 founding.

“We have not felt that pinch because we are still in the top of the top tier, and we have never been a law school that has ever relied exclusively on the private sector,” said Yale Law School Dean of Admissions Asha Rangappa.

Deputy Dean for Experiential Education Michael Wishnie said the school is more committed to theory and experiential education, in the form of clinics, than any other law school in the country.

But just because the school enters the discussion on legal education from a more privileged standpoint does not make it immune altogether.

PRACTICAL ACADEMIA?

What exactly is Yale Law School’s secret recipe for success?

The recession has widened the gap between top and middle-tier law schools, because top policy or high-end corporate employers began recruiting primarily from more elite schools, said Cornell Law School Dean Stewart Schwab. Schools that are not in the top tier expose graduates to a greater risk of debt.

Even among the top tier, Schwab said,Yale Law School is envied and admired for attracting the most talented students.

He said Cornell strives to do the same, but doesn’t have the same funding as Yale Law. Some speculate that Yale Law School students are all naturally driven toward competition and prestige.

But Raphael Graybill LAW ’15 said he believes students come in with certain career ambitions but are open to changing their minds. Michael Solender LAW ’89, a general counsel for Ernst & Young LLP, said he wanted to be a constitutional or international lawyer when he came to Yale Law School — despite not knowing what either of those professions truly involved. Though it is good to have a balance of practical and theoretical courses for future careers, Solender said, he supports Yale Law School’s method of providing students with almost total freedom of choice.

A dozen Yale Law School faculty members said students’ career interests have also remained characteristically varied.

The law school’s focus on academia alongside more conventional legal paths is one of its most famous characteristics.

Yale Law School launches more academic careers than any other school, said Wishnie, adding that an “outstanding portion” of law school deans come from Yale Law School.

The school’s theoretical focus sometimes appears to conflict with real-world legal practice.

Georgetown Law School Dean William Treanor LAW ’86 said that while most schools try to strike a balance, Yale Law School has a “fundamentally different orientation.” Practicality was never one of the school’s main goals, he said.

“Yale Law has always thought of itself as preparing people with an understanding of the law but not of the legal practice,” he said.

Graham White LAW ’16 admitted that Yale Law School has a stereotype for theory — people often say that attending Harvard will teach one how the law works, and attending Yale will teach one how the law should be, he said.

Still, White does not perceive an imbalance in his daily life at the school. And while remaining faithful to tradition, Yale Law School has changed and diversified over time, he said. For example, the school has an increasing number of graduates going into the public interest field.

Deborah François LAW ’14 said she believes Yale Law School’s reputation for being theoretical is only partly true. While some students feel it is “frustrating at times” to have so much of an academic emphasis, she said they also know that the school encourages real-world work in nonprofit and government fields as well as the private sector.

Though Yale Law School may have a heavy hand in academics, Yale Law School professor Oona Hathaway said it is also widely regarded as the leading law school for preparing students for legal practice.

Ryan Thoreson LAW ’14, an aspiring legal scholar, said he still envisions practice as an essential part of his education, and most faculty interviewed said they do not believe there is a separation of theory and practice.

“Yale Law School is a uniquely vital and intense community, which rejects any rigid distinction between theory and practice because it believes that each must inform the other,” said Yale Law School Dean Robert Post.

Yale Law School professor Amy Kapczynski said that even experiential learning at the law school, traditionally associated with a more practical philosophy, is deeply integrated with theory and academic rigor. People have come to realize that there is a broader set of things that lawyers can and want to do, which naturally diversifies a model that is already successful, she said.

Several faculty members pointed to a significant change in the last 30 years that moves Yale Law School toward a practical philosophy — the deep integration of academics with the school’s law clinics.

“We not only offer the most serious, hands-on clinical program in the country, but the sometimes maligned ‘Yale method’ of focusing on understanding the underlying principles at stake is actually the best way to train great practicing lawyers,” Hathaway argued.

Yale Law School professor Heather Gerken said all kinds of students — from members of the law journal to would-be academics — participate in clinics, which engage students in real-world pro-bono cases. “It’s just part of the warp and woof of the place,” she said.

Education 3.19%

Many students and faculty claimed that the Law School does not have to make any compromises in teaching both the theory and practice of law.

A CLINICAL EVOLUTION

Less than a year ago, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to revive Proposition Eight, California’s ban on same-sex marriage. The case, Hollingsworth v. Perry, is widely known as the trial of the century and invalidated a significant legal barrier against samesex marriage in the state.

Helping San Francisco litigate the case at the trial level, the Ninth Circuit and all the way up to the Supreme Court were Yale Law School students. Involvement in the case is one of the recent accomplishments of the San Francisco Affirmative Litigation Project, a partnership between Yale Law School and the San Francisco City Attorney’s Office.

SFALP is only one among many of Yale Law School’s clinics — programs that allow students to represent real clients with real legal problems and offer academic course credit. These clinics, or experiential learning programs, are described by many as the epitome of practical training.

About 80 percent of Yale Law School students participate in at least one clinic before they graduate, according to Wishnie. And while clinics started out as a small program in the 1970s, they are now “mainstream” and “deeply ingrained in the fabric and the soul of Yale Law School.” Yale Law School rivals other top tier schools like the Georgetown University Law Center and Northwestern University Law School as having the largest clinical program in the country.

Clinics mean different things to different people. Graybill, who is enrolled in SFALP, said his clinic is as much about learning the mechanics of government and social change as it is about professional development.

Gerken, who teaches at SFALP, said clinics give students a chance to try a career on for size, while also having the chance to do some good in some corner of the world. While clinics can be useful for preprofessional training, students sometimes just want to get a sense of what direct services or structural reform litigation looks like. But some students are also very dedicated to the subject matter of a particular clinic.

A major purpose of the clinics is that they provide a very direct and effective avenue to provide service to the community, Wishnie said.

“Whether it’s a child caught up in a family court proceeding, an immigrant facing deportation or a tenant facing homelessness

Judicial Clerkships 41.49%

Public Interest 13.29%

Business & Industry 3.19% Government 4.80%

or eviction, students want to use their skills in aid of people in need who are generally without representation,” he said.

Many Yale Law School graduates also report that their clinical courses are more helpful than any others. Gillian Quandt LAW ’14 believes a practical legal education is important for all, as clinics or trial practice classes can offer invaluable experience. Even scholars need practice, she said — an immigration law professor must surely learn what it is like to actually represent an immigrant directly.

Yale Law School professor James Silk said the three main goals of clinical education at Yale are to instill a commitment to human rights and justice, to challenge students to think critically about the issues to which to they are passionately committed, and to challenge them to inform theory with practice and practice with theory.

Stephanie Kim LAW ’14 said she probably took more clinical courses than the average student because of her interest in human rights, and her belief that these are the most useful and educational.

Not all clinics are alike. Yale Law School professor Linda Greenhouse, who leads the Supreme Court Advocacy Clinic, said her program is nontraditional. Although it involves a client-attorney relationship like the others, it also includes a larger academic component in which students study the Supreme Court.

Wishnie said not all clinics involve litigation practice and may be based on regulatory or advocacy work instead, though there is always a form of client representation involved.

François said Yale Law School’s clinical offerings — which attracted her to the school in the first place — are the equivalent of a residency after medical school.

Still, Graybill said that the career preparation involved in clinical education depends on what students want.

“Not all clinical work resembles typical law practice,” he said.

“Law students have a tremendous opportunity through clinical work to try a wide range of different kinds of law. That is a luxury practicing attorneys typically don’t have.”

Columbia Law School Dean David Schizer LAW ’93 said that although law clinics in general are a “wonderful way for students to get a certain kind of experience,” each student has his or her own priorities and interests. Hence, the exact preparation they require will vary.

At Columbia, Schizer said, courses and programs focused on national security or investment banking help students narrow down their training and experience for targeted fields. Like Yale, Columbia was not dramatically affected by the 2008 job market crash — so though the school has focused its curriculum on recent practical trends, it has not done so out of necessity.

Northwestern Law School Dean Daniel Rodriguez said his students also feel confident about their job prospects. What the students are concerned about is making the most of their time at law school to develop the skill base that will make them good lawyers throughout their career, he said. For this reason, students take practical courses to gain genuine experience, he added.

Faculty and students at Yale Law School similarly said that though it is good to show employers evidence of practical experience, this is far from a necessity.

But practice still occupies an

important place in the life of Yale Law School. It is more integrated than ever in the school’s legendary pantheon of theory, with clinics becoming more and more abundant over the years.

LEADER OF THE PACK

Ralph Nader, political activist and five-time candidate for the U.S. presidency, stood in the middle of the quiet Yale Law School courtyard on a chilly spring afternoon and looked around at the historic Gothic buildings.

Reflecting on the debate over academia versus practicality in law schools, Nader voiced concern that faculty and administrators are not fostering the right kind of practicality.

“They don’t have courses on the realities of how the law is being used for suppression and repression,” he lamented. “In that sense they are not being very practical — they are not teaching the law that is being used against people.”

Standing a few feet away from Nader in the courtyard was Edgar Cahn, founder of the Antioch School of Law — a law school built entirely on the concept of clinical education. The experimental school, which now operates as the University of the District of Columbia David A. Clarke School of Law, requires students to live with their clients to create truly society-serving lawyers.

The task for socially engaged lawyers is even more pressing today, Cahn said.

“We now need to build lawyers who can architect social change,” Cahn said. “Because our social system needs to change.”

Nader and Cahn are not the only ones who believe current legal educations to be lacking.

Some Yale Law School students expounded similar views.

Quandt said she thinks there is no reason a law education should last three full years, as many of the skills needed to be a lawyer can be learned through day-today legal practice.

Graybill said law schools in the U.S. should be more practical, but a three-year legal education will not achieve that purpose. It could be a good idea for law schools to require work or civil service in the last one or two years, he said.

But Graybill stipulated that this idea should not apply to Yale Law School — only schools that need to keep up their application and post-graduation employment rates.

Yale Law School professor Peter Schuck said the law school has no reason to become more practical, even in a small way.

Schools that are “desperate to rise up in the rankings,” make a huge effort to concert vocational opportunities for their students, he said, but this is not vital for Yale.

Yale Law School students, faculty and administrators agree that students are less worried about seeking vocational opportunities to find employment than those at other schools.

Yale Law School Assistant Dean and Head of the Career Development Office Kelly Voight said the biggest difference between what her office does and what another career office would do at another law school is that Yale does not have to sell its students.

“Many schools spend a significant amount of time explaining to potential employers the value their graduates would bring to the table,” Voight said. “The typical phone call I get is from an employer asking, ‘How do I get in front of your students more?’”

Voight said employers are generally familiar with Yale Law School’s academically-oriented

curriculum. She also believes students should not be focusing solely on their careers during law school. For private sector jobs especially, she said, there is a lot of on-site training during the first year.

But Schwab said that at private firms, clients are increasingly reluctant to pay for young associates’ training. For this reason, law schools might need to provide a little more practical training at least for these sectors. Cornell has made a series of changes to its curriculum that heavily emphasize business law, Schwab said.

Schuck said when he has taught at schools other than Yale Law School, his approach has been much more vocational. Yale Law School students tend to have first choice on certain government and nonprofit jobs already, he said, whereas students at other schools are more aware of the tightening job market and are much more concerned about finding internships and jobs.

Still, Yale Law School students interviewed do not think everything is that simple.

Thoreson said that the job search process for students is extremely individualized, because students at the school have so many different backgrounds and field interests.

Everyone is differently equipped for going into the job market, he said.

Most students agree that the search for clerkships — research assistant positions with state and federal judges — also remains a very stressful process. Although around 40 percent of Yale Law School graduates go on to clerk, students said the application process creates a lot of confusion and competition.

There is also a lot of competition to get into clinics in the first place, students agreed. Although the situation is better than at other schools, there still are not enough clinical spots for everyone and some clinics are more difficult to get into than others.

Silk also said that he has observed an increase in the level of students anxiety, especially in those students who want to pursue careers in public service, more than those who want to enter the private law sector. Public interest jobs tend to be more affected than others when economic crises hit, he said.

“There is real anxiety among our students who come here because this is a place that fosters careers in public service, but then find that there are [still] few opportunities in public interest law when they graduate,” he said.

All students interviewed said they seek practical opportunities at Yale Law School. Due to their near guarantee of employment, law school students said they are aware that they are more fortunate than most law school students — but still, none described themselves as complacent.

While some students called for small changes such as more clinics, all students agreed that Yale Law School is different from other law schools in both its goals and practices.

“When people say we need more practical education in law school, I think, sure, if you are at number 20 [in the rankings] it matters,” said one second-year student.

So where does Yale Law School stand in the entire debate?

In answering, the student expressed a sentiment largely echoed by the rest of the Yale Law School student population.

He shrugged and said, “Yale Law School will do what it wants.”

Softball wins on walk-off

The baseball team won three of its four games against Ivy League foes this weekend.

By grant bronsdon Staff reporter Following an emphatic sweep of Ancient Eight rival Princeton, the Yale baseball team is firmly set in first place of the Red Rolfe division of the Ivy League after a 3–1 weekend that also included a walk-off victory over Cornell.

The Bulldogs (12–13, 5–3 Ivy) found success thanks to small ball play and a pair of walk-off plate appearances by third baseman Richard Slenker ’17.

“We’re excited,” captain Cale Hanson ’14 said. “This is the best Yale team I’ve been a part of in my four years here.

We’re sitting tall going into our half of Ivy League play and we’re excited about it.”

Saturday’s first game against the Big Red (13–11, 5–3) was a classic pitchers’ duel. Right-handed flamethrower Chasen Ford ’17, making just his second career Ivy start, and Cornell pitcher Michael Byrne each dominated the opposing lineup, with neither offense plating

a runner through the first six innings.

A pair of walks to open the fourth inning, however, put Ford in a jam. After Cornell’s Matt Hall bunted the runners over to second and third, the freshman induced an awkward foul out to the third baseman and a lazy fly ball to centerfielder Green Campbell ’15 to get out of the inning unscathed.

In the following inning, Ford again walked the leadoff man, but escaped the pickle when the Bulldogs called a

perfectly timed pitchout.

Catcher Robert Baldwin ’15 nailed the Big Red’s leadoff hitter at second trying to steal, mitigating the threat.

Meanwhile, the Yale offense struggled to get anything going against Byrne, who leads the Big Red with a sparkling 1.56 ERA and 25 strikeouts in 34.2 innings pitched. The lanky lefty allowed only two hits all game, both singles, and racked up eight punch outs. see baseball page b3

The softball team took advantage of playing at home on Saturday afternoon, scoring in the bottom of the seventh inning to defeat Princeton in the second game of a doubleheader for its first win in 15 games.

Softball Yale (4–22, 1–7 Ivy) faced two tough Ancient Eight foes in Cornell (12–15, 4–2) and Princeton (10–18, 3–3) this past weekend, posting a 1–3 record.

“I think that we played well this weekend and showed that

we will never give up,” said captain and center fielder Tori Balta ’14. “We really dug deep as a team and put all of the pieces together in the last game.”

Head coach Jen Goodwin added that the team fought all weekend and was in every game until the last at-bat.

The first game of the doubleheader between the Bulldogs and the Big Red was a pitcher’s duel through six innings, with neither team pushing a run across the plate. Cornell threatened in the top of the third inning, with designated hitter Lauren Bucolo singling to start the inning. An see softball page b3

Crew teams cruise on Saturday

By Erica Pandey Contributing Reporter The Yale women’s and lightweight men’s teams swept Cornell and Georgetown in home races this Saturday.

The lightweight and women’s crew teams swept their races on the Housatonic this weekend.

stat of the day 2

The No. 9 Yale women’s first varsity eight clinched a one-second win over the No. 19 Big Red to hold on to the Cayuga Cup. The lightweight team cruised with the slight tailwind on the Housatonic after battling rough conditions at Princeton last weekend, and all four of its crews triumphed against the Hoyas.

“I was pleased to get out of the weekend with the sweep given the week of practice we had,” women’s head coach Will Porter said.

“Our lower boats raced well and went fast against Cornell. Our varsity eight raced well but went slow. We were lucky to win.”

According to Porter, the

Housatonic was flooded and windy in the week leading up to Saturday’s race and posed extra challenges in practice.

The women’s second and third eights and first and second fours saw wider margins of victory than the tight margin in the first varsity’s race against Cornell. The third varsity eight bested Cornell’s crew by 23 seconds.

“This weekend was a solid performance for the team as a whole,” said women’s captain Maddie Lips ’14 said. “We have a lot to learn from our races across the squad as we continue to work on putting together fast boats moving into the middle of our season.”

Like Lips, lightweight captain Matt O’Donoghue ’14 commended his team for delivering “great performances all around.”

All of the lightweight boats saw strong starts and were able to obtain their leads in the first 500 meters of the 2000-meter see crew page b3

Yale turns the ball over at the highest rate in the Ancient Eight, averaging 16.36 giveaways a game.

The win over Dartmouth brought the men’s lacrosse team’s record back to 0.500.

double-digit saves. The junior had seven saves in the final two quarters of play, helping Yale preserve the lowest goals against average in the Ivy League.

“Eric has played great the last two games and has bailed out the defense on multiple occasions,” defenseman Michael Quinn ’16 said. “He’s been crucial to our success and has continued to improve as the season’s gone on.”

One note of concern for the Elis was an uncharacteristic performance in transition. The Bulldogs successfully cleared the ball on 16 of their 21 opportunities, a rather poor 76 percent for a team that had averaged seventh in the nation at 91 percent through seven games.

Yale again committed a large number of turnovers — 20 — marking the fourth time this

year the Bulldogs have given up the ball 19 or more times. The Elis are third best in the conference, averaging just over 15 turnovers a game.

“From every game here on out we are going to need to bring great effort and execution for 60 minutes,” Bonacci said. “If we do that I think we will be very happy with the outcome.”

The Bulldogs play their third and final game in Rhode Island this Friday against Brown. Faceoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Track and field solid in two meets track From page B4 livan ’16 took second in the polevaulting competition, just inches shy of the first place Binghamton finisher. Freshmen James Randon ’17 and Andre Ivankovic ’17 took to the track in the 1,500-meter elite race. Competing in the event for Yale for their first times, they took fifth and ninth place, respectively.

The second day of competition was also successful for the Elis.

Alexander McDonald ’16 took 10th in the 800-meter run. Jacob Sandry ’15 also placed in the top 10, taking ninth in the 1,500-meter open race. The highlight of the day came from the 4x400-meter relay team. Marc-Andre Alexandre ’17, Chandler Crusan ’17, Dylan Hurley ’15 and William Rowe ’15 took fourth overall.

The women’s team split between Stanford and Princeton as well over the weekend. Kira Garry ’15 set a personal record in the 3,000-meter steeplechase with a time of 10:21.01 and finished eighth in her heat.

Emily Stark ’16 also set a personal best, recording the fourth best time in Yale history in the 10,000-meter run.

“Six of the eight athletes we brought ran personal records. We also got several regional qualifiers out of the trip,” Dooney added about the male and female Bulldogs in California.

Karleh Wilson ’16 started off the Sam Howell Invitational with a fifth place finish in the discus on Friday. Saturday began with a 10th place finish in the 100-meter hurdles by Mackenzie Mathews ’16.

The women’s 4x400-meter realy team also finished in good standing, taking 10th overall. Grace Brittan ’16, Elle Brunsdale ’15, Kelsey Lin ’14 and Kristen Proe ’14 finished with a time of 4:04.46. Emily Urciuoli ’14 took fifth in the pole vault with a finishing height of 3.45 meters. Taylor Eldridge ’16 also broke a Yale record in the hammer throw, making the 10th-best Yale throw ever with a distance of 47.20 meters.

Rivalry will flare when the Bulldogs compete against Harvard this coming weekend. The whole team will be at Harvard, so the Elis will be going into the meet with full force.

“We definitely know that it’s a really important meet coming up since Harvard will be one of the top teams to beat at the Heptagonal Championships,” Katerra Logan ’17 said. “As long as we go in with confidence like it’s any other meet, we will get the results we want.”

Events begin in Cambridge, Mass. on Saturday, April 12 at 12 p.m.

“There’s a long drive ... it’s gonna be, I believe ... THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT!! THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT!” Russ Hodges Late Baseball Broadcaster

Baseball sweeps Princeton baseball From page B1 He sat down the side in order in the fifth, sixth, and seventh innings, sending the game to extra innings in a scoreless tie.

But Yale pitcher Chris Moates ’16 came out dealing after relieving Ford in the seventh. He struck out one in the seventh and the side in the eighth.

“I really have to tip my cap to Ford, Moates and Chris Lanham ’16,” Hanson said. “They’re incredible for us and I’m really excited how they’re pitching.

It’s really reassuring, even when you’re not hitting your best as a team, to have a guy that … keeps your team in the game.”

That frame was also when the Bulldogs came alive. Pinch-hitter Harrison White ’17 reached base following a poor throw from Cornell’s shortstop, and Baldwin bunted him to second only to himself be safe after an errant throw by the pitcher. After second baseman Nate Adams ’16 bunted into a fielder’s choice, Hanson walked to load the bases.

Campbell, the ensuing hitter, worked the count full off of Byrne — and, in a rarely seen move, a reliever sent in after two pitches — before swinging at a pitch that could very well have been ball four to strike out. But Slenker connected on his own payoff pitch, lining the ball into right field for the walk-off win.

“You approach them the same way,” Slenker said of his walk-off at-bat. “You look to get a pitch to hit. I went to a full count and he threw me a 3–2 fastball away, the same pitch he threw [Campbell] before. I thought he was going to go back to it, and luckily he did.”

The sunshine that greeted the Bulldogs on Sunday proved to be a good omen for the double-

header against the Tigers. Starter Chris Lanham ’16 continued the strong run for Yale pitchers by throwing 6.1 innings and yielding just a single run on five hits.

Yale scored its only run before extra innings through some luck and some heads-up baseball.

Slenker was hit by a pitch and advanced to second on a bunt.

After a wild pitch moved the runner to third, Campbell came through with a squeeze bunt to score him.

“We work on [situational baseball] all the time,” Hanson said. “We’re always talking about the mental side, the fundamental side, and small ball is obviously a big part. We work on bunting every day in practice and it paid off today. More than anything, that [comes down to] coaching to make sure we’re ready to win an Ivy League game.”

But after Lanham allowed a single and a walk in the top of the seventh, Hanson came in to pitch and allowed a single to tie the score at one. Yale’s offense failed to get on the board in the bottom half of the inning.

In the Elis’ second extrainning game in as many days, they again found a way to walk off with the victory. Baldwin singled to left to start the bottom of the eighth and reached second following an error by the Princeton outfielder. Second baseman Nate Adams ’16 bunted Baldwin to third, causing the Tigers to intentionally walk both Hanson and right fielder David Toups ’15 to load the bases and create a force play. The Tigers then moved Jonathan York from right field to the mound to replace starter Cameron Mingo, but he walked Slenker to force in the winning run. Slenker said it was his first career walk-off base on

Yale got off to an inauspicious start against Princeton in game two of its doubleheader, with southpaw David Hickey ’14 allowing a run in each of the first two innings of the game. But Hickey soon settled down, yielding just two hits and no runs over the next 4.1 innings.

In the third inning, the Elis came through with some clutch hitting. A pair of singles by Baldwin and Adams, the latter on a bunt, put two runners on, and a Princeton error loaded the bases with no outs. Two sacrifice flies

Elis dominate on the water crew From page B1 course. The first varsity eight finished the race in 5:36.72 minutes.

“Varsity stern pair Austin Velte ’16 and Brendan Harrington ’14 did a really nice job finding a good rhythm all the way down the course,” O’Donoghue said.

As the stern pair, Velte and Harrington were in the front of the first eight.

Yale’s first freshman boat and third varsity boat raced together against Georgetown’s third eight. The first freshman boat pulled a 5:50.43 and beat out Georgetown by fourteen seconds. The Bulldogs’ and Hoyas’ third eights were closely matched, but Georgetown fell to

Kevin Fortunato ’14 knotted the score at two apiece.

“I wish there was a formula for success there,” Hanson said of the team’s recent knack for clutch hits. “I think it’s just a lot of guys that have the determination to win, and that’s why we’re so successful.”

The bottom half of the lineup came through in the sixth inning for Yale. After right fielder Brent Lawson ’16 was intentionally walked and first baseman Alec Hoeschel ’17 was hit by a pitch to juice the bases, Baldwin doubled down the line to break the tie and deliver a two-run lead to the Elis.

From there, Hickey recorded an out before Moates came on in relief with two on base in the top of the seventh frame. The Smithville, Ga. product induced a double play and then set the Tigers down in the final two innings to earn the save.

“They’re doing awesome,” Slenker said of Yale’s hurlers. “They’re getting outs and they’re keeping us in the game.

Chris Moates has done an unbelievable job coming in relief and challenging the hitters.”

The other game of the weekend, a 6–4 loss to Cornell, featured a two-out, two-run single

by the Big Red that broke a deadlock in the ninth. But even with the loss, the Bulldogs sit three games in front of Dartmouth in the Red Rolfe division. The other three members of Yale’s division, which also includes Harvard and Brown, were swept this weekend, padding Yale’s lead.

The Elis play two non-conference games on Wednesday against Fairfield before a four game series at Dartmouth this weekend. Wednesday’s games start at 3:30 and 5:30 p.m.

error put runners at first and second base with no outs. An out later, another single loaded the bases before pitcher Lindsay Efflandt ’17 got the final two outs of the inning without allowing a single run.

Cornell loaded the bases again with two outs in the fourth inning but was stymied

by Efflandt, who escaped the inning unscathed. Yale left two on base in the bottom of the fourth inning and did the same in the sixth but could not score.

In the top of the seventh, the Big Red broke through with three runs, which proved to be the final margin as Cornell defeated the Elis 3–0.

In the rematch between the two teams later on Friday, the Bulldogs outhit the Big Red 6–5, but fell 5–3. Cornell strung together a series of hits in the third inning to go ahead 3–0.

Yale struck back with a run of its own in the bottom half of the inning. The Elis then tied the game in the fifth off of first baseman Lauren Delgadillo’s first home run of the season, a tworun shot.

The Big Red struck again late in the ballgame, scoring two decisive runs in the sixth inning, both of which were unearned.

Yale went quietly in its final two at-bats and was defeated 5–3.

The Bulldogs started off strong against Princeton the next day, putting two runs on the scoreboard in the first inning. Delgadillo picked up the two RBIs when her single scored second baseman Laina Do ’17 and shortstop Brittany Labbadia ’16.

The Elis looked as if they would pick up their first conference win of the year before the Tigers roared back with five runs in the seventh inning, two of which were unearned. The Bulldogs were unable to respond in the bottom of the inning, falling 5–2.

Yale, however, answered in the second game of the twin bill to win the game 2–1. Princeton crossed the plate first in the fourth inning, scoring an unearned run. A couple of hits in the bottom of the inning led to a run for the Bulldogs, who tied the game at one after an RBI double by catcher Sarah Onorato ’15 scored Balta.

The Elis had an opportunity to score in the sixth inning, but left two on base following singles from Balta and Onorato.

Yale applied the pressure again in the squad’s final at-bat. Right fielder Camille Weisenbach ’17 got things started with a twoout single. Labbadia followed with a single that was misplayed, allowing both runners to advance an extra base. With two runners in scoring position, Do singled to center field, plating the game-winning run.

“I’m proud of how the team battled and stayed in it until the bottom of the seventh of the last game, where we were able to string some hits together and get the win,” Goodwin said. “We saw some things come together for the team offensively, and we really had some defensive web gems this weekend, and our pitchers did a great job on the mound for us.”

The team now turns its attention to a doubleheader against Hartford at home on Wednesday afternoon before four games at Dartmouth this weekend.

Princeton scored the first eight goals en route to a 15–8 victory over the Yale women’s lacrosse team.

By Yale Daily News After dropping two consecutive league games in the middle of March, the women’s lacrosse team seemed to get on track two weekends ago with victories over non-conference opponents California and Lehigh.

The team’s 17–6 win over the Golden Bears appeared particularly promising: leading only 9–6 at one point, the Bulldogs went on to score the last eight goals of the game.

women’s lacrosse But that script flipped when the Bulldogs reentered Ivy League play this weekend at Princeton. Yale (7–4, 1–3 Ivy) surrendered eight straight

goals to start the game on Saturday and could never catch up to the Tigers (7–3, 3–1), eventually falling 15–8 in New Jersey.

“We definitely need to regroup after this loss,” defender Flannery Carney ‘16 said. “We were surprised by Princeton in the first half but we upped our play in the second and never stopped fighting.”

With the loss, the Bulldogs fell to seventh in the Ivy League standings midway through the conference schedule. Princeton, meanwhile, moved into a tie for second place with Harvard.

Yale struggled from the get-go at Sherrerd Field. Just under two minutes into the contest, Princeton midfielder Erin Slifer began the scoring barrage,

notching a tally off an assist from fellow midfielder Sarah Lloyd. Four different Tigers scored in the team’s ensuing 8–0 run, including attackers Erin McMunn, Mary-Kate Sivilli and Alexandra Bruno, as well as midfielder Anna Doherty.

The Bulldogs finally got on the board with a free position shot from attacker Tess McEvoy ’17 with 4:31 remaining in the half, but at that point, the damage was done. Yale was unable to get any closer than seven goals the rest of the way.

Midfielder Lauren Wackerle ’16 said the Bulldogs were frustrated with their conference play and noted a number of areas where the team could stand to see women’s lax page B2

Ten different players contributed goals for the Bulldogs (6–3, 2–2 Ivy), helping Yale even its conference record and move into third place, while the Big Green (1–6, 0–3 Ivy) remained winless in its last four games.

The men’s and women’s track teams competed at the Sam Howell Invitational and the Stanford Invitational this weekend.

By Sydney Glover Staff Reporter Sophomore athletes stood out for the men’s and women’s track and field teams this week at the Sam Howell Invitational at Princeton, helping the team take home a number of top-10 finishes at the meet, while eight distance runners headed west to face a higher level of competition at the Stanford Invitational.

track In California, Kevin Dooney ’16, Duncan Tomlin ’16 and James Shirvell ’14 competed in the 10,000-meter race, 3,000-meter steeplechase and 1,500-meter race, respectively.

Dooney placed second in his heat and ran a new personal record, running the second-best time in Yale history in the process with a time of 29:10.13.

“I was happy with how I got on in

my race. Overall the team performed very well in California,” Dooney said.

Tomlin took 13th in his heat with a time of 9:10.85, and Shirvell placed 16th overall in his event. All three Bulldogs qualified for the outdoor IC4A Championships with their performances.

“I think this was a great team win for us,” midfielder Mark Glicini ’16 said. “Although going down three certainly wasn’t expected, we fought back and that says a lot about this year’s team. We are going to have to keep working at it during the week and make sure that going down early does not become a habit, but Saturday’s performance was a great overall effort in a must-win game.”

Yale’s opponent flew out of the gate, scoring on three of its first eight shots to stun the Elis. However, the Bulldogs mounted a comeback thanks to clinical finishing during man-up opportunities. Going into the game, Yale had scored only six goals with man advantages, but scored on all five of Dartmouth’s penalties on the afternoon.

Half of the Bulldogs’ eight-goal run came in man-up situations, including two from attackman J.W. McGovern ’16, who now has five goals and nine points in his last four games.

The Bulldogs cut Dartmouth’s lead down to one by the end of the first quarter before attackman Jeff Cimbalista ’17 tied the game five minutes into the second quarter. The team’s leading scorer, attackman Conrad Oberbeck ’15, put the Elis in front with his second goal of the game just 13 seconds later. Yale added four more tallies in the next 10 minutes before Dartmouth found a response in the third quarter.

The Big Green stayed within three or four goals of Yale until late in the fourth quarter. Midfielder Sean Shakespeare ’15 scored the eventual gamewinning 11th goal just three minutes into the final frame. The junior dodged down the left ally before stopping, causing his defender to fall down. He then cut back inside before unleashing a shot that found the back on the goal.

The Elis added six in the last period, including a hat trick from midfielder Shane Thornton ’15. The sniper blasted two shots by the Dartmouth goaltender, the first coming when the midfielder was left wide open after a poorly timed defensive substitution and the second coming off a skip pass from Shakespeare. Thornton completed his 10-minute hat trick on the man advantage with the Big Green’s goalie pulled. The junior added an assist for a career-high four-point game.

Yale’s midfielders, including Thornton and Shakespeare, had a huge day, scoring nine goals and assisting on eight others. Michael Bonacci ’16 had two goals and three points, Colin Flaherty ’15 and Mark Glicini ’16 each had a goal and an assist to lead the charge.

“The midfield scoring was definitely a little bit higher than normal, but their close defense was pushing out and preventing the attack from getting the ball and this made it a lot easier for midfielders to get good looks at goal,” Bonacci said.

Key to the Bulldogs’ win was a dominant performance by the Eli’s premier face-off specialist: Dylan Levings ’14.

The senior lost the first three restarts of the game, but then dominated, winning nine straight face-offs and finishing 21-for-28 on the afternoon.

Levings improved his winning percentage to 0.576, good for second best in the Ivy League.

On defense, goaltender Eric Natale ’15 continued his fine play, stopping 10 shots for his seventh game with see men’s lax page B2
