Janelle Monáe to headline Spring Fling

Meant to be? The Yale College Council’s Spring Fling Committee announced Janelle Monáe as the 2016 headliner at Toad’s Place last night. In April 2009, Monaé mentioned Yale in a tweet, saying, “Yale is pretty funky. I could see myself here … once I got my masters in time traveling, fencing and surrealism.”

Dry season. Claire Danes ’02, star of the hit show “Homeland,” will take the stage in the new off-Broadway show “Dry Powder,” which is set to premiere in New York City in March. Danes’ fellow cast members include John Krasinski and Hank Azaria.

Danes made her Broadway debut in 2007 with a revival of the show “Pygmalion.”

Committee members interviewed said they were excited about this year’s notably diverse lineup, especially after completing the semester-long process of selecting and booking artists.

Kimberly Tighe’s ex-husband died on Jan. 7, but she still came to work like it was any other day. It was the same day she realized she might lose her job. Two weeks later, she was laid off.

Tighe had worked as a technical assistant with Yale’s Information Technology Services for 15 years. Her daughter, who worked for Yale’s Campus Technology Services, was also laid off at the same time.

ITS, which employs hundreds of Yale’s over 9,000 administrative staff, is responsible for manning the University’s IT Help Desk, managing Yale email addresses and taking care of the University’s software and hardware. But in recent weeks, according to union leadership, the University has implemented the latest in a series of administrative layoffs, drawing frustration and resentment from employees and union members.

“In order to further close our budget gap, some involuntary layoffs have taken place,” Yale Chief Information Officer Len Peters wrote in an email to ITS staff last Thursday.

“Moving forward, we will continue to look for ways to be more cost-effective and agile with our services.”

University spokesman Tom Conroy did not specify how many employees are being laid off. But Laurie Kennington, president of Local 34, one of Yale’s unions, said the number is 24.

Four years ago, ITS’s budget deficit was around $4 million. Since then it has ballooned to around $7 million, according to Tighe. But Tighe, who said her department makes a sur-

This year’s Spring Fling lineup was announced at Toad’s on Wednesday at midnight.

BY SARAH STEIN AND RACHEL TREISMAN STAFF REPORTERS R&B singer-songwriter Janelle Monáe will headline this year’s Spring Fling, the Yale College Council announced Wednesday.

Monáe, the first black female artist to headline the annual performance, will be joined by opener Vince Staples, a critically acclaimed rapper from Long Beach, California, and closer, Canadian DJ and record producer A-Trak. The YCC

announced the lineup in a threeminute promotional video to a crowd of hundreds at Toad’s Place just after midnight.

“We want a lineup that is as wellrounded and inclusive as possible, which happens relatively organically as we see who we’re considering for headliner or opener and then try to balance different genres,” Spring Fling committee member Adam Willems ’17 said. “[We want] to make sure they complement each other in a way that would be as appealing to

Faculty discuss potential impact of HGS gift

BY FINNEGAN SCHICK AND VICTOR WANG STAFF REPORTERS The $50 million donation set to transform the aging Hall of Graduate Studies into a modernized humanities hub has excited the imagination of Yale’s faculty and sparked talks of increased interdepartmental collaborations, but questions

remain about how current academic programs and resources will be reorganized to accommodate this vision.

The proposed center will host a range of humanities departments and be located near various academic resources, such as the libraries on Cross Campus and the Center for Teaching and Learning, a space that will consolidate various teach-

ing resources on campus. Several professors interviewed said this geographical centralization may help facilitate collaboration. And the creation last week of the “320 York Street Planning Committee” has signaled the significant size of the project and sparked faculty conversation about how the renovation, set to begin sometime after 2017, will alter the academic

geography of campus and the face of the humanities at Yale.

Yale’s humanities departments are currently dispersed throughout campus.

Philosophy sits on Old Campus in Connecticut Hall, History already lives in the halls of HGS and English dwells in Linsly-Chittenden Hall. The largest of these humanities loci, and the only current template for

Bills, bills, bills. Colleges and universities around the country raised $40.3 billion — a record amount of funds — last year, according to Bloomberg News. Stanford led the charge with $1.63 billion in donations in 2015.

The total broke the individual school record. Harvard fell right behind Stanford with $1.1 billion.

The new drink options will be flavored with fruits and enhanced with vitamins. The university is outsourcing their flavored water to the supplier Aquahealth. The new addition sounds very similar to “spa water,” which is available at several residential college dining halls.

BOE elects new vice president

BY REBECCA KARABUS STAFF REPORTER The New Haven Board of Education unanimously elected Alicia Caraballo vice president at a Monday meeting.

On Jan. 11, Caraballo tied with incumbent Che Dawson in a 4–4 vote for the vice presidency, causing a re-election to be scheduled two weeks later. But after Dawson dropped out of the running on Monday, Caraballo gained unanimous support from the seven board members present at Monday’s meeting. Daisy Gonzalez, who is widely regarded as the voice of New Haven Public Schools parents, was the only member absent from this week’s meeting.

Caraballo, a lifelong Elm City resident, previously served as principal of the New Haven Adult Education Center and is currently chair of the BOE’s Teaching and Learning Committee.

much stronger board,” Caraballo said. “We have some real difficult issues here, and I want us to be able to work together and communicate.”

Notably, Caraballo voted against both Mayor Toni Harp’s initial election as BOE president in September and her re-election earlier this month, calling Harp’s simultaneous role as board and city leader a “conflict of interest.” But Caraballo, who said she has known and respected Harp for many years, feels they will work well together, despite her reservations about Harp serving as BOE president and mayor simultaneously.

Edward Joyner, who joined the board on Jan. 1 after a November election, said he nominated Caraballo for president because of her impressive body of work, which includes a quarter century’s worth of school district service. He also lauded Caraballo’s personal interest in NHPS.

The senior fellow of the Corporation has been described by top administrators as the first among equals — the board member who speaks with University President Peter Salovey every week, strategizes with him on meeting agendas and has the universal respect of his or her peers. Margaret Marshall LAW ’76 — a former general counsel of Harvard and the first female chief justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Court — has served that role for the past three years.

Marshall said Yale administrators approached her about joining the Corporation more than a decade ago. While sitting in her legal chambers as chief justice, she received a phone call from then-University

A

lex Zhang’s ’18 op-ed in the Jan. 25 issue of the News (“Thompson College, Not Calhoun”) makes an excellent case for the renaming of Calhoun College. Zhang’s list of Roosevelt Thompson’s ’84 accolades is impressive, and the documentary “Looking for Rosey” that he mentions should be consulted for the tributes of former President Bill Clinton LAW ’73 and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton LAW ’73. Yet Zhang did not know Rosey. I did, so I want to add just a few words to his.

I met Rosey in August 1980 before classes started, at a mixer in the Calhoun freshman counselors’ suite. Quiet, unassuming, with glasses that covered a quarter of his face, he might not have made a big impression. Nevertheless, a few days later, I recognized Rosey’s face at the pre-semester meeting for Directed Studies. It was not hard to notice Rosey, as he was the only African-American admitted to DS that year. I nodded to him across the room; his chin lifted in solidarity. He came from Little Rock’s Central High School; I came from backwoods rural Missouri. Neither one of us was ready for our baptism by fire into the depths of Western Civilization, but we both made it through — Rosey, of course, much more successfully than I. I didn’t see a lot of Rosey outside of DS lectures that fall. He was busy with football, academics and activities, yet every time I saw him, his dark eyes looked straight at me with genuine warmth and encouragement. At the end of freshman year, after missing several classes due to a medical situation, I looked, naturally, to Rosey for help reviewing some of the hundreds of pages I had omitted. He explained the texts from DS history and politics straightforwardly, comparing this author to that, and I entered the final with a sense of quiet confidence.

There were roughly a hundred of us spilling in and out of the freshman counselors’ suite back in August 1980, sipping colas and swapping stats, not knowing how much our lives would be changed by the next four years. We certainly had no idea how much our lives would be changed by having known that quiet guy behind the big glasses, whose dark, understanding eyes and affirming nod we sometimes still unconsciously search for when we are in over our heads in a room full of strangers. And I will say this, confidently and with no

hesitation: Not one person — classmate, professor or staff member — who spent any time with Rosey at all has one bad word to say about him. He was “the best of us,” to quote the full-page Newsweek obituary, and indeed, as Yale Divinity School professor Davie Napier DIV ’39 GRD ’44 said, “one of the most outstanding students to enroll at Yale in modern times, and it is doubtful we will ever see his like again.”

It is a common theme among those who memorialize Rosey to regret that he did not get the chance to have more influence.

Like Zhang, we emphasize the “potential” and “promise” that Rosey represented: “What could be and what should be.”

Nevertheless, the best tribute to Rosey must be, to quote President Clinton’s prayer at Rosey’s funeral, to “think not of what he might have been, but what he was; not of what he might have done, but of what he did.” Rosey never got to be governor or president, but he did get to be a Yale student. By naming one of Yale’s residential colleges after Rosey, we will allow those who never met him to participate in what Rosey was — the perfect example of a Yale student.

And he was without a doubt — again, not one of his classmates, not one of his professors will say a word to the contrary — the very best that a Yale undergraduate could hope to be. That is why Yale needs a Thompson College. Rosey does not need a college named after him as a legacy; his legacy will not be enhanced or tarnished by whatever Yale decides about renaming Calhoun. Rosey will live on in the memories of all those who knew him, as well as in and in the memorials in Little Rock.

But for those thousands of future Yalies who will enter Phelps Gate every August from now until Doomsday, the unique, history-making gesture of naming a college after a 22-year-old man will be their chance to know Rosey.

Roosevelt Levander Thompson's life epitomized the words he wrote: “Determined effort in the face of difficult challenges is worthwhile when in contribution to the team, the college, the community.” The creation of Thompson College will inspire future generations of Yale students to follow his example.

L

ike much of America, I’ve spent the last 10 years fascinated by the E! reality show, “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” The show spawned many spin-offs and has created stars of the family members, who are now famous for being famous.

As a teen, I was just thoroughly amused by the Kardashian-Jenner clan’s televised antics. These girls are funny. After a few years, I grew attached to the three oldest sisters — I was worried about Kourtney’s kids, I wanted Khloe to feel valued, and I wanted Kim to be taken more seriously. And for the one brother in the family, Rob, I hoped he would stop feeling so intimidated by his fabulous sisters.

There are a number of things about the show and about the family that are problematic, especially when it comes to the girls’ appropriations of other cultures (Kylie Jenner’s braids are certainly upsetting, to name one example). No one in the family is without fault, but there’s something so unabashedly human about them. They’re refreshingly real. Yes, they overexploit their own life struggles in order to advance their own fame but writers have been doing that for centuries. Joan Didion draws from her personal tragedies for

after her ex-boyfriend posted a sex tape online without her permission. Her former boyfriend committed a deep betrayal, and if that situation happened to me, I would probably crawl into a cave, set up some nice Pottery Barn rugs and never leave.

Instead, Kim took this moment of exploitation and launched a reality show. She turned it into a lucrative career and became a stylist for dozens of celebrities, most notably Paris Hilton. She took advantage of our obsessive, media-driven, rising Internet culture and created an empire — and she took her (already privileged) family along with her. On the whole, they’ve shared with us private moments no one asked to see. Their frank self-awareness on issues such as body image, sex, pregnancy and beauty is astounding. These women are open about deeply personal, often taboo, subjects.

And I think there’s something genius about their unabashed, unapologetic exhibition of their womanhood.

The entire Kardashian-Jenner clan is a difficult monolith to address. Kylie needs to stop acting like she’s 35 when she’s 18, and I’m pretty concerned about a number of insensitive comments made by Kris’ ex-spouse, Cait-

lyn Jenner. But I’m sending up a prayer for those two. They’re still growing — like all of us.

We live in a world that doesn’t like it when women are important. Women can’t talk too much, they can’t ask for too much attention. The Kardashians have certainly occupied a lot of space in our cultural landscape, and while I don’t think that they’re flawless human beings, I will never get over the time Kourtney tried to get Khloe to drink her breast milk, or Kim’s wedding and her many dresses.

Her cheekbones perpetually amaze me. When Khloe changed Kylie’s birth control prescription, or when Kendall learned how to drive, we all experienced those personal milestones with them. This clan of sisters (and all their extended family) captivates me. Yes, they’re wealthy and ridiculous and silly. They’re also unafraid. They’re real.

They dare to stand on stage, under the spotlight, shamelessly themselves.

There’s a reason we’ve been keeping up with the Kardashians.

T

his year for my birthday, I received a card that told me to “Dance Like Nobody’s Watching.” Being the cynical pseudo-socialist that I am, my first reaction was to grumble about this mass-produced and distinctly American emotional trope.

But when you think about it, “Dance Like Nobody’s Watching” is actually fantastic advice.

Possibly the best you could give for a 20th birthday, in fact. Why? Because it’s a request — no, an expectation — to search out the authentic You. This idea of authenticity demands the query: Why, then, would you be dancing in the first place? If you have no audience and you’re still dancing, then you’re dancing precisely because you love to dance. You need it, perhaps. In this hypothetical, scenario — which we can substitute with anything — fills your internal vacuum. Your life means something because you [dance], and [dance] would imbue your days with significance even if no one knew you [danced]. It’s a compulsion, a vocation. This is “passion.”

The direct inverse of passion is obligation: doing something explicitly because somebody AMELIA JANE is, in fact, atching.

NIERENBERG w It’s doing with the Close to intention of being seen, home specifically because (and only because) you have an audience. Here, it feels as though we are under constant scrutiny because — news flash — we are.

Yale floats in a flux state of obligation. We act because of an exterior push, rather than an interior pull.

It’s as if we are living in a constant state of Overheard at Yale — overseen in that Facebook album, over-read in our Classesv2 forum posts or overanalyzed by future employers. The ambition necessary to thrive here comes with an acceptance of always being watched. Or, perhaps more likely, because we know nothing else.

In other words, Yale is an Ivy

League panopticon.

But that’s actually okay. Obligations, even if they demand quasi-inauthenticity, comprise a huge part of our lives. We have to make a certain amount of money, if not for us, for our dependants. We have obligations to our friends even when they’re irritating. We need to abide by the norms that buttress our society — and necessarily so. Dropping off the grid is not a viable option for anyone because our obligations, our duties, are essential parts of the fabric of our lives.

It’s my (patent pending) Classic College Process Advice: Yes, you absolutely have to jump through the hoops. But here's the key to getting into your dream school (which is, of course, Yale)?

Do something you love, and in loving that thing authentically, you will do it really well. That advice can be spread across collegiate life and beyond: Find the balance of passion and obligation.

That is my call to those of you who carve out the time to read this piece (out of passion or obligation, I don’t dare to infer). Be honest with your categories. Ask:

Which is your [dance], and which is your duty?

Or: What would I do if nobody were watching, really?

I’m not talking about this very moment — I’m not asking about the hours (or even weeks) of downtime I wrote about last week. I mean in the long run — over the course of your entire life. What would you do if no one knew you were doing it?

It’s a question to keep in the back of your mind, an authenticity barometer, so to speak. I am not advocating for a pruning of all your obligations — that would be impossible without immense privilege and immense disregard for others. I am advocating for a category breakdown as a first step: What do you do for passion, and what do you do for obligation? Or, if we can rebrand the Hallmark advice: Would You Dance If Nobody Were Watching? And if not, then Why Are You Dancing?

Hartford to expand westward flights

BY JIAHUI HU STAFF REPORTER Starting June 2, a daily nonstop flight from Hartford to Los Angeles International Airport will open up new possibilities for cargo, Yale students and Gov. Dannel Malloy’s economic plans.

The Connecticut Airport Authority — an organization led by state leaders and charged with expanding flight routes into the state — announced last Wednesday that American Airlines will offer daily nonstop service to LAX from Bradley International Airport, creating the state’s only nonstop flight to the West Coast.

The deal with American Airlines comes as part of Malloy’s initiative to increase flight frequency, seating and number of destinations.

“Expanding routes gives businesses the connectivity to grow,” CAA Executive Director Kevin Dillon said. “Healthy transporting to Bradley can also convince others to relocate to the state.”

The state’s business community has been clamoring for these changes to Connecticut flights, Dillon said. The flight to Los Angeles is particularly beneficial because it provides a onestop route from Hartford to Asia, he added.

Dillon added that the new flight to Los Angeles will also help Bradley Airport enter the international cargo market since planes often carry commercial packages in addition to passenger baggage.

In 2014, the CAA — which Malloy founded in 2011 — increased traffic to Bradley by 8.5 percent by increasing the frequency of service and the size of aircraft to existing domestic destinations. In the past three months, the CAA also announced nonstop services to Dublin and Denver.

The CAA is also considering additional transcontinental flights to San Francisco, Seattle and Phoenix in partnership with airlines already at Bradley, such as Southwest, JetBlue and Delta, Dillon said. Though he could not disclose the names of specific airlines, Dillon added that the CAA is talking with international companies to expand transatlantic offerings.

“This is a competitive business,” Dillon said. “Here in New England we are competing with Boston, New York and Provi-

dence [for domestic flights]. But we are actually competing with every airport in the country [for international airlines].”

The service will provide an additional travel option for many Yale undergraduates, almost 700 of whom are from the Golden State. Several students from California said they would take advantage of the nonstop route.

Mackenzye Smith ’18, who flies home to LAX, said many students returning to Yale from the West Coast fly to one of the two main airports in New York to take advantage of nonstop flights, though Bradley is closer to campus. Nonstop flights eliminate the possibility of delays at layover airports, Smith said, which occur more often during the colder months.

“I would definitely buy the flight with American Airlines, even if it’s a red-eye,” Smith said.

“That eliminates getting stuck in Dallas or Chicago because of the weather, especially in the wintertime.”

The air service to Bradley should also be accompanied by better ground service to Yale, added Smith and Daniel Hamidi ’18, who also flies into LAX. Both said that the commonly used CT Limo service can be unreliable when traveling to and from airports.

This is not the first time American Airlines has offered nonstop flights from Hartford to Los Angeles. In 2013, the CAA secured the same deal with American, and service lasted one year beginning that August.

When the airline canceled the flight a year later, it cited high vacancy rates.

The flights to LAX began when American Airlines and US Airways discussed cutting costs as they prepared for a merger, finalized in December 2013. Though the nonstop flights had not yet been able to show profitability at the outset, by the last few months of service, travelers flying from Hartford to Los Angeles occupied 90 percent of seats on the flights.

The new flight will depart Bradley at 7 a.m. Eastern time and arrive at LAX at 10 a.m.

Pacific time. The return flight departs LAX for Bradley at 9 p.m. and arrives at 5:20 a.m. the next day.

Sustainable employment and housing MAYA SWEEDLER/PRODUCTION & DESIGN STAFF

BY AMY CHENG STAFF REPORTER Secure Jobs Connecticut — a state pilot program geared toward providing aid to homeless families — has already taken on eight New Haven families, just six months into operation.

Secure Jobs CT prevents the formerly homeless and unemployed from losing their jobs and houses by subsidizing their rent and increasing their shortand long-term earning power.

Secure Jobs CT helps finance family members’ community college and GED educations, and also provides funding for work equipment and uniforms.

The program emphasizes flexible financial assistance to help families overcome personalized challenges, such as child care and transportation, in an individualized way. The organization’s goal is to stabilize the lives of 50 formerly homeless

families in two years.

“The beauty of philanthropy is that the investments that were given to each region’s [service] providers are determined [by themselves],” said Melville Charitable Trust Program Officer Rebecca Allen. “[They] tell us, the funders, how they want to spend this money.”

Launched last October, Secure Jobs CT was an independent initiative until July, when it fell under the umbrella of the CT Rapid Rehousing Program — a larger statewide and state-funded initiative.

Led by a coalition of 28 national and regional organizations, Secure Jobs CT derived its mission from Secure Jobs Massachusetts, a similar but unrelated effort that began two years ago. The Melville Charitable Trust, the main donor supporting Secure Jobs CT, contributed $50,000 to each of the five regions within Connecticut. Secure Jobs CT col-

laborates with half a dozen local service providers to allocate resources and services to individual families.

“Our role with homelessness has been not only [as] an investor, but also the managing agency, or what we call the ‘backbone’ function, for the coordinated access network,” said Amy Hall, vice president of income and health initiatives at United Way. New Reach, a New Havenbased group that identifies and works closely with the families Secure Jobs CT helps, operates CTRRP and shares its resources with Secure Job CT. According to Kellyann Day, chief executive officer of New Reach, families must already be receiving services from CTRRP to be eligible for Secure Jobs CT. Families enrolled in CTRRP must be underemployed or unemployed and living in homeless shelters.

Day said Secure Jobs CT is successful because of contri-

butions from private funders willing to take a risk on an innovative approach to tackling homelessness.

“It doesn’t always happen [in the nonprofit organization world],” Day said.

Hall said it is still unclear what will happen to Secure Jobs CT after its two-year pilot elapses.

Though she noted the program’s future depends on the success of the pilot program, the support Secure Jobs CT provides will always be in demand.

“What doesn’t go away is the need for this work,” Hall said.

“The issue isn’t going anywhere, and we are universally committed to making progress on this issue.”

There are 12 children in total from the eight families enrolled in Secure Jobs CT. Contact AMY CHENG at xiaomeng.cheng@yale.edu .

Mixed awareness of OCS resources

BY JON VICTOR STAFF REPORTER Though the Office of Career Strategy has increased its efforts to branch out to students over the past couple of years, some students remain unaware of the office’s extensive programming.

New initiatives introduced this academic year by OCS include internship ambassadors to communicate with students about summer opportunities, resume review sessions hosted in the colleges and walk-in hours held in LinslyChittenden Hall and the Hall of Graduate Studies — locations closer to central campus than OCS’ offices on Whitney Avenue. Student appointments and walk-ins to see advisors are up by 26 percent this academic year when compared to this time last year, said Jeanine Dames, director of OCS and associate dean of Yale College. Still, some students said they are unaware of the department’s resources.

“I think students are just really busy,” Dames said. “But my hope is that when they are ready to engage in their career search, they know where to come. We definitely want to make sure students know these opportunities exist.”

Dames said many paid summer opportunities arranged

by OCS go unfilled each year.

She added that students were either unaware of the opportunities or may have chosen not to apply under the belief that the application process would be too competitive.

Students interviewed were split on whether they had used OCS’ advising resources in the past. Of the six students interviewed, three had met with an OCS career advisor or had been to an OCS-sponsored event during their time at Yale, while three others had not taken advantage of any such opportunities.

Three years ago, OCS began sending out weekly newsletters to the student body, outlining career services opportunities for the upcoming week.

However, Nicholas Dacosta ’18 said OCS’ communications are sometimes drowned out by the number of other opportunities available to Yale students.

“There are tons of different programs and resources for things to do over the summer, and OCS is just one of

TARNA ZANDER VELLOSO/CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER

OCS is located at 55 Whitney Ave. those resources,” Dacosta said.

Dacosta added that he finds most of his career information online or from friends who have participated in programs that he finds interesting.

And while Elizabeth Karron ’18 agreed that students were generally unaware of the resources available to them, she said they were to blame for their own lack of information.

The weekly emails are a good way of reminding people about OCS programming, she said.

Karron suggested that there could be more encouragement from college deans in their own weekly emails to pursue some of the opportunities offered by OCS. Still, she noted that more long-term chores like job searches often give way to students’ more immediate needs.

Caroline Pringle ’16, however, said students are well

aware of OCS resources. Pringle, who has used OCS to find jobs in consulting and has found a summer job through Symplicity in the past, said that while she herself has been pleased with OCS’ services, she has heard from friends pursuing other fields that were not satisfied.

“I think that if you’re not looking for consulting and finance, then people are a lot less happy with the circumstances,” Pringle said. “I don’t know what my experience would have been like if I was looking for a biotech job.”

But Dames said that in the past two years, OCS’s largest growth area has been in support resources for students pursuing careers in public service, public interest and the arts. The office has an advisor dedicated specifically to advising students for arts and

is working on developing arts apprenticeship opportunities, art-specific internships and workshops for auditioning and screenwriting.

Furthermore, only one advisor in OCS works with finance and consulting firms, while others focus on areas including public sector organizations, legal careers and science and technology. Of 11 career fairs organized this year

by OCS, just three were centered around finance and consulting.

Pringle said she believes finance and consulting jobs are simply more visible on campus because they have more resources to devote to recruitment.

There are currently 1,476 jobs listed on Symplicity.

FROM THE FRONT

“Spring is nature’s way of saying, ‘Let’s party!’” ROBIN WILLIAMS AMERICAN ACTOR AND COMEDIAN

Monáe, Staples, A-Trak to perform at Fling SPRING FLING FROM PAGE 1 October, the personal intuitions and tastes of committee members, videos of live performances, artists’ reputations, how interactive artists are and how well they fit into the Spring Fling persona.

According to committee member Mikaela Rabb ’18, Monáe — whose first studio album made it into the Billboard 200 — was chosen as this year’s headliner because of her musical versatility and her ability to engage with audiences. Willems added that her songs, which he said cannot be reduced to one genre, make her more “inclusive” so all students can enjoy her performance.

“A common theme [in her music] is embracing the other — whatever that may be — and selflove. There are worse messages to have spouted from the stage on Old Campus,” Spring Fling Committee Chairman Tobias Holden ’17 said.

Holden said the planning committee was especially proud of booking the first performer, Staples, because many students said hip-hop and R&B have been underrepresented genres at Spring Fling in the past. Holden added that Staples’ music touches on such topics as violence and police brutality. Alexandre also noted that she has seen Yale stu-

dents posting about his newest album, “Summertime ’06,” on social media.

“His music is super energetic, which is good for people earlier in the day, because in the past, that spot has been the cue for people to take their naps,” Holden said.

“That will be different this year.”

A-Trak, the first person to win five DJ World Championships, was chosen because a DJ act as a closer has been popular in previous years, committee members said. A-Trak differs from most DJs in that he is widely known for scratching records and performing energetically, Holden said, adding that A-Trak’s act will not be the performer simply pressing “play on a Spotify playlist.”

Willems called A-Trak the “Francis Bacon of the DJ world,” suggesting that students have probably heard his music in the past even if they did not know it was his.

Holden said the committee will be making other changes to Spring Fling in order to make it “feel more like a music festival.”

Committee members mentioned the addition of booths, giveaways and activities to expand the experience on Old Campus and provide different perks, such as temporary tattoos.

Willems said that in the months leading up to Spring

Monáe ‘s first studio album, “Metropolis: Suite I (The Chase)” reached number 115 on the Billboard 200 chart in 2007.

Fling, the planning committee will provide further information about logo and T-shirt design contests, as well as applications for student musical groups and DJs. Other resources, including a Spotify playlist featuring this year’s artists and a website for information on logistics, food, restrooms and the festival schedule, will also be made available.

HGS gift to centralize humanities HGS FROM PAGE 1 to HGS, said art history professor Mary Miller GRD ’81, who sits on the 320 York Committee. Still, Miller said she is excited that the centralization of many humanities departments will allow many of her colleagues to work in a single location.

“Generating the sort of intellectual possibilities across the humanities [has] not always been easy in our fragmented architectural spaces,” Miller said.

Some faculty members, like religious studies professor Kathryn Lofton, who also sits on the committee, said they do not see the current landscape of Yale’s campus as an impediment to collaboration.

“The campus is too small in size to make departments feel truly scattered,” said Lofton.

In addition, she noted that there may be less visible barriers to collaboration, such as a potential clash of personalities after the merger. She compared the consolidation of humanities departments at Yale to the joinder of the engineering departments at AT&T and Western Electric in the 1920s to form Bell Laboratories — a partnership that caused some tensions but ultimately produced great innovation.

Likewise, Lofton said, she hopes the new humanities hub will encourage faculty from different departments to tackle problems together, as great things can come when people trade ideas and work in close proximity.

“The transition wasn’t easy, as there were a lot of egos among those engineers and a lot of logistics to relocating them,” Lof-

ton said. “But the science that was produced in those spaces changed the world.”

The consolidation and reorganization of academic resources are not unique to the HGS project. The Center for Teaching and Learning was established in 2014 to integrate on-campus support services for undergraduates, graduate students and faculty members in areas like writing, language study and technology use. While these resources have previously been situated in several locations on campus, the center plans to consolidate them in one central location within Sterling Memorial Library by December.

Just as the faculty sees the revamped HGS as a place for collaboration, Yale’s librarians are thinking of ways to further connect the University’s libraries with the humanities departments, using the new humanities center as a means to that end. The proximity of 320 York St. to both Sterling and the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library will simplify the way humanities professors teach using library collections, said University Librarian Susan Gibbons.

“Together, these buildings form a cluster for humanities study,” Gibbons said. “The amenities, facilities and services in the different buildings should be complementary.”

Although Gibbons said it is too early in the planning process to know if any of the $50 million gift will go toward building new library spaces in 320 York St., she said that some departmental libraries and reading rooms are already housed in HGS.

The development of the new humanities center has also led to comparisons with the Whitney Humanities Center, a current center dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of the humanities.

East Asian Languages and Literatures professor Edward Kamens ’74 GRD ’82 said he thinks the new humanities hub will be “much like a bigger Whitney Humanities Center.” Associate Director of the Whitney Humanities Center Norma Thompson said that while she is unfamiliar with the overall initiative, she believes that the WHC will move to the HGS location by 2020.

Enrollment and the number of major programs in the humanities have declined, Kamens said, but the programs themselves are still as vital and engaged in their studies as ever. In addition to increasing the interaction between departments, Kamens added that the renovated 320 York space will add more energy to an already vibrant field.

Beyond physical renovations, the $50 million gift for HGS will also enrich the humanities at Yale by paying for high-profile visitors who may teach, lecture and hold office hours during their stay.

When asked who she might like to see visit, Lofton said she hopes Yale uses the endowed fund to attract a scholar who has yet to change the world: “Someone who hasn’t been labeled genius yet.”

Students cheered as the YCC video announcing the performers aired on stage. Students interviewed after the announcement expressed generally positive feedback, especially about Monáe.

Seven students including Alicia Lovelace ’17 and Aman Kabeer ’19, said they were very enthusiastic about the committee’s choices.

However, such positive reviews were not universal. Ollie WynneGriffith ’17 said he was underwhelmed with this year’s lineup.

He called previous performers Diplo and Ja Rule more impressive Spring Fling acts.

Still, Eshe Sherley ’16 expressed excitement about this year’s headliner.

“Janelle Monáe is the best thing to happen to this campus

in literally a billion years,” Sherley said. “She’s not just a pop artist. She speaks to people of color, and women of color, in a really big way.”

Spring Fling is scheduled for April 30.

Marshall: Corp. senior fellow MARSHALL FROM PAGE 1 President Richard Levin asking whether she would be interested in serving as an alumni fellow of the Corporation, a position she ultimately assumed in 2004.

“There was not a moment’s hesitation, because I knew I wanted to serve — Yale is one of the great institutions in the world and I was happy to do whatever I could,” she said. “Coming to Yale was the most liberating, wonderful, extraordinary opportunity of my life, and if I had the opportunity to repeat it again, I would jump on it.”

On Thursday and Friday, Marshall will host two open forums with the Yale community to discuss campus naming issues.

She said she considers student input “very seriously,” partly because she was a student activist in her youth and partly because she holds Yale students in the highest regard.

“I believed passionately when I was [that] age that you never trust anyone over the age of 30,” she said. “So for me it’s not just about taking student views into account, but learning from them, either in the graduate schools or in the College. It is one of the things that keeps one feeling most engaged, because there are new ways of looking at the world, which are different, and that’s one of the privileges of serving on this Corporation.”

CORPORATION YEARS

Though Marshall said the leadership traits of the senior fellow are in many ways ceremonial, Salovey said the holder of the position is usually chosen by consensus and possesses “wisdom, good judgment, broad knowledge of Yale and great passion for the University.”

He added that Marshall encompasses all those traits, and has been an invaluable resource to him as a result.

“Chief Marshall is a great partner in thinking about what are the best issues to bring to the Corporation, other than the more routine kinds of agenda items,” Salovey said. “Basically the planning and strategizing of Corporation meetings themselves is something that we do together. Beyond that, Justice Marshall and I speak on the phone once a week at length.

In those phone calls, our view is that anything going on at Yale, or in the world relevant to Yale, is fair game.”

Since 2004, Marshall has served in various positions on the Corporation: as an alumni fellow, a successor fellow and now the senior fellow. She emphasized that the positions

differ little in substance.

“Once you are on the Corporation, it’s hard to remember who is an alumni fellow or who is a successor fellow,” she said. “The president listens no matter who you are. The Corporation works as a whole, and yet it is small enough that we can sit around the table but large enough that we can have subcommittees.”

Senior Advisor to the President Martha Highsmith said it is a “tribute” to Marshall that after stepping down from her position as an alumni fellow in 2010, she was invited back as a successor fellow and given an honorary degree from the University in 2012.

Highsmith said Yale is unique in that the University president chairs the corporation. Still, Highsmith said that Marshall serves as the president’s “confidante” and works to ensure that Corporation meetings are as efficient and effective as possible.

She added that Marshall frequently visits campus, partly because her granddaughter recently attended Yale College.

Coming to Yale was the most liberating, wonderful, extraordinary opportunity of my life.

MARGARET MARSHALL LAW ’76 During the racially centered controversies of the past semester, for example, Salovey said he and Marshall spoke regularly.

In late October, Marshall said it was too early to have opinions on controversial issues like the naming of the new residential colleges and the potential renaming of Calhoun College and the title of residential college “master,” because the Corporation had yet to discuss them. She added that the skills she gained while serving as chief justice and the respect she holds for her peers on the Corporation often lead her to adjust her opinions during Corporation meetings.

“The deliberations of the Corporation are very careful, and they are on some occasions — I can’t think of any at a particular time — subject to an actual vote. More likely, a very strong consensus will emerge,” she said.

MARSHALL AND YALE

Before attending the Law School, Marshall — who is originally from South Africa — said she had no intention of remaining in the United States. But following

the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Senator Robert Kennedy in 1968, she said she felt “very lost.”

She then grew involved with the anti-apartheid sanctions movement and decided to go to law school to learn more about the United States.

“In a nutshell Yale Law School changed my life, so I have extremely strong feelings about Yale,” she said. “I learned to argue in a careful, civilized way with people whose views I disagreed with entirely while here. South Africa at the time was a totalitarian and racist regime, and I had experience with that. So one of the things I love most about this entire campus, not just the law school, is the constant engagement with ideas that fluctuate.”

Marshall said that upon graduating from law school, she never would have expected to serve in the positions she did — especially as a justice.

However, she said the foundational skills she learned at the Law School, as well as its “enormous reputation,” made differences “across the world” for her.

While serving as a lawyer, vice president and general counsel of Harvard and chief justice over the past several decades, Marshall remained involved with Yale in two major ways: advising law school applicants and organizing alumni events.

Marshall said her most important contributions to the University include actively serving the Law School’s alumni association, primarily in Boston. Soon after graduating from the school, she started inviting Yale professors to visit the city to meet with its graduates, the goal being to form a mutually supportive community.

As a “complete outsider” who did not know any lawyers or judges when applying to law school and as one of the few women in her law school class, Marshall said she feels indebted to those who offered her a helping hand. As a result, she said she has tried to return the favor by helping people decide whether and where to go to law school.

“My career has taken me in directions where I don’t have a huge amount of money, but I have tried in as many ways as I can to give back to Yale,” she said. “I always say to people if any part of your Yale education has been life-changing for you — I don’t think you realize how life-changing it will be while you are in the University — give back in anyway that you can.”

Beinecke director reappointed

BY JOEY YE STAFF REPORTER While the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library is currently undergoing extensive renovations, its leadership remains unchanged.

Last Wednesday, Yale University President Peter Salovey announced the reappointment of Edwin Schroeder as director of the Beinecke and associate University librarian. Schroeder, who is currently overseeing a multimillion-dollar renovation of the Beinecke, was first selected as the library’s director in 2010 following the death of Frank Turner GRD ’71, previous University librarian and Beinecke director. Since then, Schroeder has overseen the establishment of the WindhamCampbell Literature Prizes and more than doubled the amount of classes held in the library. His colleagues emphasized his spirit of collaboration as one of his greatest strengths. His second term will last five years, until July 2021.

“Being the director of the Beinecke is a great position to have,” Schroeder said. “The combination of the staff, resources that we have available and amazing collections makes it one of the most exciting jobs in the world to have.”

Since Schroeder took up the mantle of the directorship, the number of classes held annually in the Beinecke has risen from 200 to 500. After the renovations — which began in the summer of 2015 and are projected to cost between $50 million and $70 million by the time they conclude this fall — that number will grow even more, as classroom space in the Beinecke will double, leading to further academic and teaching opportunities. The library will have a total of four large classrooms, he said, in addition to four consulting rooms usable for small group work.

The renovations will also make possible a number of other

changes, including an expansion of the research scholarship program for visiting scholars and support for weeklong seminars in the summer. When the library reopens, 20,000 maps will be moved from Sterling Memorial Library into the Beinecke, Schroeder said.

“We are scheduled to finish major construction by early June, and we will reopen the first of September,” Schroeder said. “Once it’s all done, we’ll all take a deep breath, relax and celebrate the finish.”

The combination of the staff, resources that we have available and amazing collections makes it one of the most exciting jobs in the world to have.

EDWIN SCHROEDER Director of the Beinecke The renovations have been the largest project under Schroeder’s stewardship, but as director of the Beinecke, Schroeder is also responsible for engaging members of the Yale and New Haven communities with the library’s vast collections and resources. In his first term, he oversaw the development of the popular exhibit “Lux: Ideas Through Light,” when the library’s exterior became a canvas for digital art for several days last April. Additionally, during Schroeder’s tenure, the library has acquired numerous collections, such as the archives of playwright Paula Vogel and the papers of award-winning children’s author Mo Willems.

But Schroeder’s contributions have extended beyond just the Beinecke. Associate University

Librarian for Arts and Humanities Allen Townsend said Schroeder has helped foster a unique collaboration between the Beinecke’s curators and specialist librarians at Sterling. The subject specialists concentrate in the areas of humanities, international studies and social sciences, and Schroeder, more than any director before him, has reached out to see how they can all work together, Townsend said.

“Schroeder has the absolute highest level of integrity, and the previous director with whom he worked, Frank Turner, spoke very highly of him,” Townsend said.

“Frank was really impressed with his integrity and work ethic, and that has revealed more of itself over time when working together in the library executive committee.”

University Librarian Susan Gibbons said that during the last five years, she and Schroeder have partnered to think of ways for the central library and the Beinecke to work together. She also described Schroeder’s eye for innovation as a particular strength, noting how he has recently hired a digital archivist for the Beinecke. Schroeder also noted that more time and effort have been devoted to developing the Beinecke’s digital library during his tenure.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, perhaps one of Schroeder’s greatest attributes is his personality, Gibbons said.

“Often I have found that heads of rare books and manuscript libraries can be erudite and intimidating, and [Schroeder] is not that,” Gibbons said. “He is warm and approachable, and he is unique in his class and kind of librarian.”

Schroeder first began work as a catalog librarian at Sterling in 1989.

Mental health activist packs Sudler

BY PADDY GAVIN STAFF REPORTER Kay Redfield Jamison, prominent mental health activist and professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Johns Hopkins University, spoke Wednesday night to a packed Sudler Hall about her decadeslong personal battle with bipolar disorder, the difficulties associated with mental illness, its relationship to gun violence in the United States and its romanticization as an enhancer of creativity.

The event was hosted by Mind Matters — an undergraduate group that raises awareness about mental health issues on campus — with the support of the Wellness Project, which awards funding to student groups focused on mental health. The audience of more than 200 included University Secretary and Vice President for Student Life Kimberly Goff-Crews, whose office has been involved in sponsoring the Wellness Grants.

Jamison, whom Time Magazine has described as a “hero of medicine,” said that because disorders such as mania, schizophrenia and depression are common among college students, these conditions have overwhelmed campus health services at universities nationwide.

“Many students now are treated for this problem, not always adequately,” she said.

“It varies a lot from college to college but there’s just been a huge demand on student health services, even in the best of places.”

Although Jamison stressed that recent scientific progress has made many of these diseases very treatable, she iden-

tified a gap between scientific and clinical knowledge of the conditions and community perception of the disorders.

Jamison described her own experience with mental illness, explaining that she did not start taking medication for her condition until years after she first became psychotically ill as a high school senior. As a result, she said, she had become “ravingly manic” within a few years of joining the faculty of the University of California, Los Angeles in 1974.

Jamison characterized her early mania as sometimes giving her great pleasure and endowing her with creative abilities. She said she became reluctant to continue taking her prescribed medication because it cut into these possibilities and produced painful side effects.

“It took me far too long to realize that lost years and relationships cannot be recovered.

The damage done to oneself and others cannot always be put right again,” she said.

In response to an audience member’s question about romanticization of mental illnesses as creatively powerful, Jamison acknowledged the scientific basis for this connection, but warned against this romanticization and the trivialization of treatment for these conditions.

“I don’t think there’s anything romantic about this illness at all,” she said. “I think it kills, it destroys lives, it destroys families. It’s painful beyond reckoning, if you haven’t been there … [Romanticization of mental health disorders] is a very real issue.”

Asked about the relationship between mental disorders and acts of mass violence in the United States, Jamison stated that although 50 percent of

acute mania episodes are characterized by at least one act of physical violence, representations of mass violence perpetrators as mentally ill are often false.

She emphasized the discrepancy between politicians’ willingness to explain away such incidents using mental illness and their reluctance to support essential infrastructure for mental health treatment and research.

“I get sick and tired of politicians … calling it mental illness when they don’t support mental illness research, when they don’t support mental illness facilities and outreach programs, and then I get sick and tired of hearing about when they won’t allow the [Center for Disease Control and Prevention] to study gun violence,” Jamison added. “I find it rankling. Anyone who is sentient in this country knows we have a violence problem.”

Goff-Crews said the event was especially beneficial to the Yale community because it was organized by students and appealed to diverse parts of campus. She also expressed enthusiasm at the size and diversity of the crowd that attended the event, noting in particular the high proportion of medical school students at the talk.

“It’s great that all the medical school students are here as well, improving their practice, and that’s going to be important for us as well, and I know that our mental health services are working on many of the issues she’s talking about, as well,” she said.

According to Borter, Wednesday night’s event was Mind Matters’ biggest ever.

“Most companies that go through layoffs are never the same. They don’t recover because trust is broken.”

BEN HOROWITZ AMERICAN BUSINESSMAN AND INVESTOR

Admin. staff decry ITS layoffs, cost cutting LAYOFFS FROM PAGE 1 plus each year, does not know why money is being lost.

“It just makes no sense to me, I guess. Where is this deficit?”

Tighe asked. “I don’t think anyone saw it coming as fast as it came.”

The laid-off staff will receive 90 days’ full pay and benefits

before they must leave, Conroy said. After that period, Conroy said, the staff will receive some compensation based on the type of work they were doing and how long they had been working at Yale. They will not, however, receive their retirement benefits.

Conroy added that out of “deference to the staff who are being laid off,” their names and depart-

ments are not being identified.

For Tighe, the process began at a Jan. 7 meeting, where her bosses asked her to think of ways to restructure and streamline her department in an effort to lower costs, she said. Last Thursday, Tighe was called into another meeting. At the table sat two co-workers, her director and a representative from Human Resources. No union representatives were present. Tighe is a member of Local 34.

Realizing what was going on, Tighe said, she rose from her chair and stormed out of the room, demanding the presence of a union representative. There were none immediately available, and the meeting proceeded.

“We were completely blindsided. We felt ambushed,” Tighe said.

Now, Tighe said she does not know what she will do. If Yale does not rescind the layoffs by April 19, the end of the 90-day period, she will apply for another job at Yale.

“I just want to retire with my benefits,” Tighe said, speculating that the layoffs targeted employees with better, more expensive benefit packages.

Kennington said that of the approximately two dozen employees who were laid off, 10 were Local 34 members. Kennington said that justifying the layoffs by claiming a need to cut costs does not make sense.

“The U n i ve rs i t y has announced a $196 million surplus, but ITS is claiming a $7 million deficit. It doesn’t add up,” Kennington said.

When asked to give specifics about Yale’s cost-cutting mea-

sures with regard to ITS, Conroy said ITS needs to find ways to balance its budget “as part of an overall balanced Yale budget that funds new initiatives and reflects evolving research and teaching priorities.”

Peters said in his email to ITS staff that the layoffs were part of “required cost reductions” that include reducing services, finding cheaper hardware contracts and providing “voluntary layoff incentives” to reduce the size of the staff.

According to Vice President for Human Resources and Administration Michael Peel, the University has asked administrative departments to “find 1 percent productivity each year from their budgets.” Furthermore, Peel said Yale laid off fewer people this year than it has done since before the 2008 financial crisis, although he noted that Yale should keep spending levels low to avoid finding itself in a “major budget crisis which causes painful layoffs and other urgent cost-cutting.”

Yale’s endowment dropped by 25 percent overnight after the financial crisis, Peel said. Even after the crisis, Yale’s spending had to be kept down. Only recently has Yale been able to spend more money on initiatives that grow the University, he added.

“Yale had to significantly reduce its budgets to live with the reduced amount of money coming from the endowment and other funding sources,” Peel said.

But despite the endowment’s strong returns over the past few years — Yale’s endowment saw

an 11.5 percent return last year, one of the highest in the Ivy League — Peel said the endowment is not back to where it was before the crisis when adjusted for inflation. Additionally, he said, salaries, benefits, operating costs and the like have risen over the past seven years, creating a $400 million spike in the University’s total operating costs.

As a result, Yale is still reducing the budget of every area of the University, from Science Park to central campus. Yale currently has around 9,490 administrative staff, and while this number has increased by about 200 positions in the past four years, this growth is slower than the growth of the University as a whole.

“Each of these actions help to lower our annual expenses,” Peters wrote in his email.

These layoffs may affect the University’s contract negotiations with its unions. Kennington said job security will be Local 34’s number-one concern during negotiations prior to the union’s contract expiration in January 2017.

Kennington called the layoffs “an unacceptable way for the biggest employer in town to save money.”

Furthermore, Kennington said, the layoffs both demoralize the staff who remain employed and create an undue burden for them as they must compensate for the work of their co-workers who have been laid off.

Although Jo-Ann Dziuba, an ITS employee of 28 years and a member of Local 34, was not laid off, she said she is fighting for those who were, through her work as a union representative.

“I am trying to help them because we want our jobs,” Dziuba said. “We know technology is changing, and we want to change with it. Don’t just cut us off.”

Anxiety persists among some of Yale’s administrative staff members, as worries over job security create an atmosphere of fear and suspicion. Of 22 administrative staff members in ITS contacted for this article, all but Tighe declined to speak on the record because they said they feared losing their jobs.

“I’m not comfortable doing an interview. Anything is possible,” said one employee in Information Technology Services. “I don’t want to get caught up in something.”

While some administrative staff are members of Locals 34 and 35, which collectively represent nearly 5,000 blue-, pinkand white-collar Yale employees, staff without the protection of a union said they do not have the same degree of job security as union members.

An administrative employee, who asked to remain anonymous because she feared retribution, said the culture among the administrative staff has changed during her time here.

“Ten years ago, people talked about ‘the University.’ Now people talk about ‘the Corporation,’” the employee said. “People understand that we have to be cost-conscious, but there’s a feeling that everything is being done for the dollar instead of being done for the good.”

BOE vice president unanimously elected BOE FROM PAGE 1 “She had a son that was a student in NHPS, she has grandchildren currently in NHPS, she was a social worker, she was a principal and she’s been a lifelong resident of the city of New Haven,” Joyner said. “She is a very intelligent and courageous woman, and we need that voice.”

Joyner echoed Caraballo’s concerns about Harp’s BOE position, arguing that Harp’s presidency is problematic because Harp is a municipal leader, while the BOE is an agency of the state.

Darnell Goldson, who also joined the board at the start of this calendar year, said although Harp and Caraballo had a difference of opinion regarding the BOE presidency, he feels the two agree far more than they disagree and will effectively serve the best interests of NHPS students.

In a Wednesday statement to the News, Harp welcomed Caraballo’s election as vice president of the board, highlighting that she values Caraballo’s commitment to NHPS and New Haven as a whole.

“Her unanimous election to be vice president of the board reflects the consensus that her priority remains the well-being and sound education of New Haven Public

Schools students,” Harp said.

Caraballo said while many things are going well in NHPS — notably teachers’ degree of intensity, commitment and creativity — she feels much could be improved in the district.

She added that she will continue to hold Superintendent Garth Harries ’95 to high standards as BOE vice president, acknowledging that she has been critical of him in the past. She said Harries was her supervisor when she directed adult education in the city, and she anticipates that her relationship with him will “take on a different level” now that she is his supervisor.

Caraballo said one urgent problem the BOE currently faces is the vacancies in key NHPS positions such as physical education supervisor and early childhood director.

She said she, the board and Harries need to work closely together to identify and enlist the most qualified candidates for these positions. She added that communication among board members and NHPS must improve to strengthen the school district.

Caraballo was appointed to the BOE in June 2014.

Columbia unveils faculty initiative

BY JESSICA SPITZ When Columbia Dean of Humanities Sharon Marcus was a student at Brown, there were no professors dedicated to LGBTQ scholarship. Now, as part of a new initiative announced to faculty last week, Columbia will hire four faculty members who specialize in queer studies.

“I’m very excited because this is a field in which I’ve worked,” Marcus said. “I am myself a lesbian, but besides some of the personal investment that I have as a person and intellectual, I understand what a difference it makes; when I was in college I didn’t have a single professor who talked about issues of what we then called homosexuality.”

The authorizations for the new hires are the latest effort of the Columbia Diversity Initiative, to which the university has committed $83 million over the last decade to recruit and retain diverse faculty, and is the first initiative of its kind among peer institutions.

Schools from around the university submitted proposals for the hires to the Office of the Provost, and a review committee approved the proposals from the English and comparative literature departments in collaboration with the Institute for Research on Women, Gender and Sexuality, the religion department, the history department and the Columbia School of Nursing.

“Ultimately, we’re expanding the role of diversity in the university,” Vice Provost for Faculty Diversity and Inclusion Dennis Mitchell said. “If we just got four new wonderful scholars in these areas, spread out throughout the university, we would be able to move ourselves to the place where we could have a center of excellence in this work.”

Marcus expressed excitement at the

opportunity to hire faculty “who have a demonstrated long-term commitment to LGBT studies, who have done COLUMBIA pioneering, cutting-edge work.”

“Everyone is going to benefit from these classes,” she said. “The biggest benefits are often to students who identify as straight — that’s been my experience teaching these classes, that students who identify as straight take them and in course evaluations say how eye-opening the courses were.”

The hires could also play an important role in bringing a new perspective to the way core classes are taught, according to Marcus.

“I would be very happy if we saw these professors come here and teach in the core,” Marcus said. “The core texts bring up issues of gender and sexuality, so it’d be fabulous to have somebody in LGBT studies teach the core.”

English and Comparative Literature Department Chair Sarah Cole noted that although her department does offer courses covering topics related to LGBTQ studies, it is a “huge area,” and the department currently lacks an adequate number of introductory and advanced courses in the field.

“English has always had a very capacious notion of what queer theory is about, so it’s not tied specifically to any narrow field within literary studies,” Cole said. “We want someone who can reach across different departments and units and even outside of [the Faculty of] Arts and Sciences.”

The religion department’s proposal centered on the intersection of religion and sexuality, pointing out that the two have been closely linked throughout history.

College to replace house master title

BY JALIN CUNNINGHAM AND IGNACIO SABATE After unanimously agreeing to change their collective titles last December, Harvard’s house masters have yet to agree on a replacement.

Harvard College Dean Rakesh Khurana issued a statement in December announcing that the leaders of Harvard’s 12 residential houses had “unanimously” agreed to change their title to “suggest a new title that reflects the current realities of the role,” and would announce the replacement sometime early in 2016. Some students have criticized the title for a perceived association with slavery.

But, according to house masters in Winthrop, Mather, Eliot and Adams, progress on a new title has been slowgoing.

Ronald S. Sullivan Jr., co-master of

Winthrop House, said “no” when asked whether discussions on a new name had begun.

“We’re going to discuss [the name HARVARD change] when spring semester starts,” he wrote in an email to the Crimson last Thursday.

In an email, Harvard College spokeswoman Rachael Dane confirmed that no decision on a new name has been made yet.

“The house masters have been in discussion and are considering several options for new titles. They have not yet shared their discussions with [Faculty of Arts and Sciences Dean Michael Smith] for his consideration,” she wrote in a separate follow-up email.

That, however, has not stopped speculation on potential replacement titles.

Adams House Co-Master Sean Palfrey wrote in an email that some potential replacements were less preferable. For example, Palfrey wrote that he found the title “leader” — as Khurana has referred to house masters in recent emails — too boring a title, whereas some more ornate words like “magister” or “rector” are too old-fashioned or religious.

Discussion around house masters’ controversial titles began late last semester, during a tumultuous period of racial protests and activism on campuses nationwide. Within Harvard’s own gates, a group of Harvard Latino students issued a set of demands to University President Drew Faust, one of which requested changing the existing nomenclature.

Student Assembly votes to raise activity fee

BY GABRIELLA LEE Even though 16 of the 27 organizations funded by the undergraduate Student Activity Fee received either no increase or a decrease in allocations for the 2016–18 funding cycle, the Cornell Student Assembly still voted 23–1–0 on Dec. 3 to recommend an overall Student Activity Fee increase from $236 per student to $241 per student.

Cornell President Elizabeth Garrett, who accepted the allocation recommendation Dec. 15, will now recommend $241 as the undergraduate Student Activity Fee to the Cornell Board of Trustees during the board meeting this week.

If the allocation recommendation

is approved by the trustees, the SA will receive an increase from $1.90 to $2 per student. However, less than two weeks before the CORNELL SA was required to vote on the final Student Activity Fee recommendations for the 2016– 18 funding cycle on Dec. 4, it still had not determined how it would spend its approximately $40,000 surplus.

In order to request an increased Student Activity Fee allocation from $1.90 to $2 per student, the SA needed to present a byline packet to the appropriations committee that outlined,

among other things, its budget and how it planned to utilize any funds allocated, according to Shivang Tayal, SA international at-large representative and appropriations committee member.

However, after the SA tabled a resolution that proposed spending $15,000 of the surplus on iPads on Nov. 19, the assembly still had not decided fully what they would put in the byline packet that would be sent to the appropriations committee. As a result, 17 SA members convened an executive session on Nov. 22 to discuss how the budget surplus might be spent ahead of the presentation to the appropriations committee following Thanksgiving break on Nov. 30.

HOCKEY FROM PAGE 10 current teammate, forward Ryan Hitchcock ’18, on the U-18 team. He also contributed to silver medals for the United States in the U-17 World Championship in 2012 and the U-18 World Championship in 2013.

“When we first got there I didn’t know him very well,” Hitchcock said.

“He helped me out my first year, and now we’re really good friends. When I was in Ann Arbor, he was able to provide so much help for me.”

Hayden arrived in New Haven in the summer of 2013 — directly after high school — and, as an 18-year-old, was the youngest player in his class by nearly a year. But at 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds, he was also one of the biggest.

That size — along with experience gained playing collegiate teams while on the NTDP U-18 squad — helped smooth the transition between the worlds of junior and collegiate hockey.

“Age goes out the window once you’re [playing college hockey],” Hayden said. “You’re in your class.

That’s it. You feel like you’re the same age [as everyone else in your class], and everyone on the team is really close, but your in-class bond is really special.”

By midseason, Hayden found his groove, winning ECAC Player of the Week honors for a four-point midJanuary performance at Clarkson and St. Lawrence. He finished his rookie year with 16 points, second among the team’s freshmen.

Now, of the Bulldogs’ five junior skaters, no one has more collegiate points in his career than Hayden — nor more shots, power-play goals or gamewinning goals. In his three seasons, Hayden has missed just four games —

including none this year.

Following two seasons in which Hayden was sixth on the Bulldogs in points with 16 his freshman year and 18 the next, Hayden is now on pace to break 21.

“I think I’ve had steady development here,” Hayden said. “Coach Allain’s done an incredible job. I owe him a lot of credit because he’s taught me a lot about hockey and the right way to play … And I think the game slows down once you have more experience, [and] so you see more.”

And Hayden also has ties to one more organization: the defending Stanley Cup champions Blackhawks, who hold his professional rights. Before coming to Yale, the forward was chosen in the third round of the 2013 NHL entry draft as the 74th pick overall.

Since his selection, he has attended a week of “intense” Blackhawks training camp each summer, and has continued to receive instruction from the professional franchise throughout his collegiate seasons. But Hayden’s primary focus, he says, is unwaveringly on his current situation, with just over a month left before the Elis begin postseason play. “[The Blackhawks] have a great staff and they help me … and give me pointers and development tips, and all of that’s helped me,” Hayden said.

“But the most important thing for me is staying in the present and focusing on Yale, my team and my teammates here.”

Number 21 and the rest of the Bulldogs next hit the ice on Friday, when they host Union at 7 p.m.

hard work pay off as we head into the championship portion of the season, as she’s projected to finish in the top three or five [across the Ivy League] in her strong events.”

Kaminski clocked the fastest time in the Ivy League in the 100-meter breaststroke, as well as the secondbest time in the 200-meter breaststroke, at the Nike Cup in November. In addition to Hindley, Zhou and Kaminski, Maddy Zimmerman ’18 owns the best time in the Ivy League this season in the 100-meter butterfly, also earned at the Nike Cup. The women will also rely on two of their most consistent swimmers, Cailley Silbert ’18 and Eva Fabian ’16, in the distance events. The pair boasts the top two times in the 500-, 1,000- and 1,650-meter freestyle events.

As for the men’s individual events, Yale will look to Scott Bole ’19 in the 200-meter freestyle, as he has the second-best swim in the conference, with the next HYP competitor, a Princeton swimmer, coming in at sixth. In the 500-meter swim, Kei Hyogo ’18 and

captain Brian Hogan ’16 sit at fourth and fifth, just ahead of two Princeton and Harvard swimmers. Hyogo also clocked the third-fastest time in the 1,000-meter freestyle, just three seconds off of a second-place Princeton swimmer.

Yale’s relay teams also appear competitive heading into the weekend. The women’s A-teams in the 200-, 400-, and 800-meter freestyle events, in addition to the 200- and 400-meter medley teams, are all the fastest in the conference. The men rank third in both the 400- and 800-meter freestyle relays, though the Tigers have the second-fastest team in each event.

“HYP is always a tough meet for us since we’re facing the two fastest teams in the Ivy League,” swimmer Derek Kao ’18 said. “However, I think it’s great to race them as our last meet before Ivies because it is a wake-up call and gives us the motivation to push through the last stretch of the season.”

In diving events, the women in particular will look to receive a boost from their talented cast of competitors.

Lilybet MacRae ’17 was named to the All-Ivy Second Team in both 1-meter

and 3-meter dives last season. However, the First Team honoree was a Princeton diver who edged MacRae by less than two points in the 1-meter dive, 298.00 to 296.30.

In addition, two Yale freshmen, Hannah Walsh ’19 and Talbott Paulsen ’19, have provided the Elis with depth in the diving events leading up to the critical weekend.

“It will also be interesting because Ivies are coming up in a few weeks and Harvard and Princeton will be our biggest competition for Ivy champion, so during HYP we’ll get a sense of where we stand against them,” Paulsen said.

The men’s diving events will feature James McNelis ’16 in his final HYP meet, as well as Wayne Zhang ’18, a staff reporter for the News, and Anthony Mercadante ’17. McNelis finished fourth in both the 1- and 3-meter dives at last year’s HYP. The meet will take place at Princeton on Friday and Saturday for the men and on Saturday and Sunday for the women.

that should largely pose less of a challenge than their recent competition.

“We are looking forward to getting back into competition this weekend after a tough loss last week,” Georgia Blatchford ’16 said. “Trinity was really tough, but we learned a lot from the match and look forward to potentially crossing paths with them again in the postseason tournament.”

The most testing match of the weekend will be the women’s against No. 5 Stanford, Blatchford said. Last weekend in a bird-bird face-off, the Cardinal was able to top the Trinity Bantams 5–4 just after Yale’s loss to the same team. Stanford also won by a score of 7–2 over Columbia, which the Bulldogs topped 8–1 earlier this season.

The No. 13 George Washington, No. 15 Middlebury and No. 11 Williams women’s squads are expected to be less serious competition for the Elis.

The real challenge for the Bulldogs, rather, will be their schedules: in a period only slightly longer than 24

hours, the Yale women will play four matches and the men will play three.

“Playing four matches in a weekend is going to be exhausting, but we have put a lot of work into our fitness, both on and off the court, so I am confident our endurance will hold up into our final matches,” Blatchford said.

With matches against No. 13 George Washington, No. 14 Navy and No. 18 Williams, the Yale men will face similarly light competition.

Last year Yale beat George Washington, Navy and Williams by scores 8–1, 8–1 and 9–0, respectively.

Despite the expected wins, the players said the weekend will be key for the Bulldogs to regain momentum after a pair of losses.

“This weekend is a great opportunity for us to get back competing and hopefully get a few wins to carry us into the last couple weeks of the season, where we finish with four-straight Ivy League encounters,” Zac Leman ’16 said. “Obviously the last two matches didn’t go as we had hoped, but despite the losses, our

morale has stayed high.”

Those final four regular-season matches will feature both men’s and women’s contests with Ivy foes Princeton, Penn, Dartmouth and Harvard over the course of eight days.

Both Eli squads are perfect against Ancient Eight competition thus far, but Penn, Harvard and Dartmouth rank No. 2, 3 and 4, respectively, making the end of the Ivy season much more difficult than the first half. The morale boost from a strong performance this weekend could be just what the Bulldogs need to capture the title that has evaded both teams since the 2010–11 season.

“Our current goal is [to win] the Ivy, and we are in a great position to accomplish our goal,” TJ Dembinski ’17 said.

The women open play 2:30 p.m. this Friday at the Brady Squash Center against Stanford, and both teams will face off against George Washington later that night at 7:30 p.m.

“[John Hayden ’17 is] a guy who’s learned how to get to spots where he can receive a pass and get a puck to the net quickly.”

KEITH ALLAIN ’80 HEAD COACH, MEN’S HOCKEY

YALE MEN’S SWIMMING AND DIVING SCHOLAR ALL-AMERICA TEAM Two days before the annual Harvard– Yale–Princeton meet, the Elis were honored for their achievements outside the pool by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America. Yale earned a 3.43 team GPA in the fall, tied for second highest among D-I programs.

Hayden ’17 bolsters Yale offense

BY HOPE ALLCHIN AND DAVID WELLER STAFF REPORTERS The No. 11/12 Yale men’s hockey team is on an eight-game unbeaten streak, during which the Bulldogs have found the back of the net 21 times. Nearly a third of those goals have come from the stick of just one source: forward John Hayden ’17, whose hands, physicality and consistency have made the Connecticut native one of the Elis’ most invaluable assets in 2015–16.

Not only does Hayden pace the Bulldogs with 10 goals this season, but seven of those tallies, including three game-winners, came in a 10-game stretch when Yale was without injured forward Mike Doherty ’17. The Chicago Blackhawks draftee’s offensive outburst, which has already raised his goal total above that of his first two seasons, minimized the void left by the absence of the Elis’ 2014–15 goal leader. “[Hayden’s] taken a huge step forward [this year],” head coach Keith Allain ’80 said. “I think [his] last 10 or 12 games have been his best 10 or 12 for us … He’s a guy who’s learned how to get to spots where he can receive a pass and get a puck to the net quickly.”

Born in 1995 in Chicago, Hayden moved to Denver shortly thereafter. Influenced by a successful University of Denver hockey program and the turnof-the-century dominance of the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche,

he fell in love with the sport and began playing hockey at just four years old.

After resettling in the Nutmeg State for family reasons, Hayden began his high-school career with a two-year stint at the Brunswick School in Greenwich.

During his time there, Hayden began the college recruitment process, and Yale quickly became what Hayden called his “dream school.” The University’s proximity to his home, academic reputation and athletic opportunities all appealed to him, and he committed to Yale the fall of his sophomore year.

“It was a no-brainer,” Hayden said. “Between Coach Allain, the rest of the staff, the academics, the social life, from what I saw and what I heard, it was a really easy decision for me.”

At the same time the Bulldogs were scouting Hayden, so too was USA Hockey. Recruited to join the prestigious USA Hockey National Team Development Program — which competes as a member of the USHL, the preeminent American junior league — Hayden moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he stayed with a host family for his last two years of high school.

Following a 15-point campaign for the NTDP U-17 squad, Hayden notched 20 more points in his final season of junior hockey while playing alongside a SEE HOCKEY PAGE 8

Bulldogs gear up for HYP meet

Squash preps for packed weekend

BY GRIFFIN SMILOW CONTRIBUTING REPORTER Following a pair of decisive 8–1 losses to in-state rival Trinity, the Yale men’s and women’s squash teams aim to bounce back this weekend by hosting five different opponents over the span of just two days.

YALE DAILY NEWS

The Yale women will face their toughest challenge this weekend against No. 5 Stanford.

STAT OF THE DAY 7

The meet will feature some of the best competitors in the conference, as the three schools comprise the top three in both the men’s and women’s Ivy League standings. These teams have historically featured prominently in the Ancient Eight, with the Crimson, Bulldogs and Tigers taking all three podium spots in four of the last seven seasons for the women, and

three of the last five seasons for the men.

“We have been training really hard all season, so it’s exciting to get to race two of our fiercest opponents right before the Ivy League Championships,” swimmer Paulina Kaminski ’18 said.

According to CollegeSwimming. com, Harvard’s men’s team is the top of the three, followed by Princeton and Yale. On the women’s side, Yale leads Harvard and Princeton.

According to USA Swimming’s Ivy League records, Yale women’s competitors Bella Hindley ’19 and Kina Zhou ’17 claim two of the top five spots in the conference in the 50-meter freestyle, and Princeton has one swimmer ranked fourth. The same duo of Yale swimmers holds the first- and third-

best times in the 100-meter freestyle event, while the Crimson and Tigers have no top-five times on their rosters.

Hindley and Zhou also claim those same first- and third-place spots in the 200-meter freestyle, with Harvard and Princeton swimmers making up the fourth- to sixth-best times. On top of those freestyle events, Hindley has also completed the second-fastest time in the league in the 100-meter backstroke.

“This is [Hindley’s] first season racing in the U.S. and she’s adjusted really well,” Kaminski said. “We are so lucky to have [in Hindley] one of the fastest and most accomplished junior swimmers from the U.K. on the team … It’s going to be a privilege to watch all her SEE SWIMMING PAGE 8
