was just the first domino to fall. Yesterday, signage around campus indicated that numerous residential colleges and academic buildings had been unceremoniously renamed after a certain private equity magnate. But while we would not be surprised if Stephen Schwarzman ’69 could actually afford to monopolize Yale’s naming rights, you can put down the pitchforks: None of it was real.

Metropolitan revolution.

New data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis point to growth in productivity for the Elm City and other metro areas around Connecticut. New Haven’s GDP increased by 0.25 percent to $41 billion in the past year, the report indicated, largely spurred by strides made in the professional and business sectors citywide.

Still, it has been long enough to make her latest surge something of a comeback. For her work in an upcoming New York production of “Eclipsed,” in which she performed as a Yalie in 2009, Nyong’o was the subject of profiles in both The New York Times and The New Yorker published online Wednesday.

Yale is ready for Hillary — at least according to recent campaign finance filings.

Employees of the University make up the fourth-largest donor group to the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton LAW ’73. According to data from the Center for Responsive Politics, employees from the University have given Clinton more than $95,000 in the current election cycle, more than all but three law firms. However, the available data excludes donations made to super PACs or 501(c)(4) organizations, which do not have the same reporting requirements.

Professors interviewed said the donations from Yale’s faculty and staff members are in line with the historical trend of educators’ support for Democratic candidates, as well as their allegiance to University alumni.

“It does not surprise me,” School of Management professor Rick Antle said. “The main reason why people make donations has to be that they agree with her politics, and her political inclination probably has a good amount of audience at a place like Yale.”

CS50 TAs learn to teach their peers

BY STEPHANIE ROGERS STAFF REPORTER When Mary Farner ’16 prepared for her first CS50 section, she was nervous. She had never before taught a Yale course section in front of her peers — now her students.

Three weeks into classes, all 510 students enrolled in CS50, or “Introduction to Computing and Programming,” have experienced their first classroom sections, many of which were led by undergraduate learning assistants, or ULAs: Yale undergraduates who function as teaching fellows by lead-

ing sections, grading papers and holding office hours. While many peer universities, including Harvard and Georgetown, have student TAs, CS50 marks the first Yale course taught in part by other Yale undergraduates. The new ULAs face many challenges in adapting to the new role, but all ULAs interviewed described the experience as fulfilling. “[Teaching] is not a skill we teach our students, so we spent a long time working with the staff,” said Brian Scassellati, who teaches the CS50 course at Yale.

Jason Hirschhorn, a former

Harvard CS50 TA and CS50 staff head, said the team spent two weekends in the spring and a significant portion of time before the start of classes training the new ULAs. The team heads brought the ULAs into New Haven high school and elementary school classrooms to teach computer science to young students for a sort of test run.

“The most difficult part of being a TA is managing different levels of student comfort with the course material,” said CS50 ULA David McPeek ’17.

Police report sheds light on Carlisle’s death

BRIANNA LOO/SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER

After playing Harvard six times in 2014–15 and 11 total times in the past two seasons, Yale elected not to participate in the Rivalry on Ice in 2016.

BY GREG CAMERON STAFF REPORTER This year will be the third iteration of the Rivalry on Ice game at Madison Square Garden, which has pitted men’s hockey rivals Yale and Harvard against each other — but this time, Yale will not be part of the event.

After two victories over the Crimson in the Rivalry on Ice event, the Bulldogs have elected not to participate in this year’s game, leaving Harvard to play Quinnipiac in an official ECAC Hockey conference

contest. Yale will instead compete in the Desert Hockey Classic at Gila River Arena, the rink of the Arizona Coyotes, during the same weekend as Rivalry on Ice, while an Army-Navy exhibition game will fill out the card in New York.

“No one’s really upset, I don’t think, that we’re not doing it,” forward Mike Doherty ’17 said. “We get to go to Arizona State and play in the tournament out there, and guys are really looking forward to it.”

Newly released documents from the New Haven Police Department, published by Gawker early Wednesday, shed new light on the circumstances that led to a stabbing and student suicide in May. The NHPD’s report on the incident, which took place in the Taft Apartments on College Street in the early hours of May 26, reveals that Tyler Carlisle ’15 was involved in a sexual encounter with two other students, one male and one female,

before he stabbed the male student once in the neck and then jumped out of a ninth-story window to his death.

At Yale-New Haven Hospital, the male student who was stabbed, Alexander Michaud ’17, described to police officers the events that had led to the stabbing. Michaud, who was named by NHPD spokesman David Hartman in a May 26 press release, was later declared to be in stable condition and fully recovered roughly two weeks after the incident.

GUEST COLUMNIST I S I S D AV I S - M A R K S

Globalize DS A

lmost every year, students criticize the freshman Directed Studies program for its narrow focus on the Western canon. Within its syllabus, there is a striking paucity of texts written by females or minorities. But despite these criticisms, there has been little change in the curriculum over the years. Toward the end of the spring semester, as a nominal gesture, a couple of token black and female writers are featured along with a slice of Islamic history. However our focus on the content of the DS program must be coupled with an examination of broader structural forces. In order to fully understand the harms of having an extremely whitewashed version of a study of Western civilization, we have to examine the larger institutional forces that shape Yale, America and the whole of academia.

Even though I’ve only just begun the DS program, it’s already patently obvious that the curriculum is taught through a Eurocentric lens. While we’ve been studying ancient Greece as the bedrock of Western culture for the past two weeks, there has been no mention of the influential roles Egypt or India played in the formation of nascent European civilization. Additionally, there is no mention of the gender dynamics in Grecian civilization or the existence of religious female cults in Greece. Sappho, an important female literary figure who wrote in Ancient Greece, is also absent from the curriculum. I understand DS is a zerosum game: the introduction of Tolstoy comes at the expense of Chekov and reading all of Thucydides means not reading any of Diodorus. But surely we can include someone as revolutionary as Sappho by cutting out bits of Herodotus or Livy.

One argument we often hear is that women and minorities simply didn’t publish the same quantity or quality as the white men who held positions of power in the classical world.

But even if this is true and our readings are homogenous, there’s no reason why our professors can’t supplement the curriculum by discussing the lives and ideas of women and non-Western communities in lecture. There is a wealth of historical and cultural evidence with which we piece together not only their experiences and intellectual contributions but also the systematic discrimination they faced.

The exclusion of these voices is not limited, however, to the DS program. This is a pattern that has been exhibited in our broader University, higher education in America and across the world. They reflect structural barriers that different groups continue to face. Our lack of a multicultural

alternative to DS is a reflection of Yale’s narrow educational focus.

As an institution, Yale has an endowment of around $24 billion and has come under criticism for giving nearly half a billion dollars to hedge fund managers. This comes at a time when our University is unwilling to get rid of the student income contribution, an issue which disproportionately affects minority students. For a school so well-endowed, it’s inexplicable we’re unable to use those resources in order to create a more inclusive education.

I’m calling for the creation of a new program, one that differs from the DS program by focusing explicitly on giving intellectual voice to women and non-Western communities.

Higher education in America has always tilted towards the powerful. But since the development of a neoliberal economy, our universities have increasingly discouraged students and teachers from questioning existing power structures. Yale is not immune to this trend.

Some of Yale’s donations, such as the $10 million earmarked for a new Islamic law center or the whopping $150 million for the renovation of Commons, come from questionable sources that rely on the capitalistic practices often funding systemic oppression.

I would posit that even beyond taking capitalism’s money, Yale and other universities are adopting capitalism’s ethos.

Just as capitalism gains its success on the backs of marginalized groups, the academy consistently writes marginalized groups — women, disabled bodies, minorities, LGBTQ and the poor, among others — out of the history books. This process intellectually justifies the demographic destruction capitalism yields.

As the premier freshman program, DS exerts a disproportionately powerful influence on Yale’s character. It’s not a coincidence that our Philosophy and History Departments are overwhelmingly white when first-year students are only introduced to white thinkers. It would be revolutionary if Yale could create a DS program to introduce impressionable freshmen to non-Western thinkers and history. I make this point not just for the sake of equality.

African, Indian, Islamic and Asian thought truly has forged our way of life and the values we hold true. As the world becomes increasingly globalized, we’re doing our students a disservice by not exposing them to the rest of the world.

O

n Tuesday night, I made a bowl of oatmeal for a friend. He was starving, so I brought him to my room and microwaved some Quaker (not as good as stove-top, but it holds up). We crashed onto my bed and I recorded videos for Snapchat in which we discussed our abnormal love for oatmeal. We joked about how this was the perfect snack. Some people pray; we buy oats.

Despite the giddiness of our interactions, we were somber. We were both shaken, though frankly unsurprised, by the Association of American Universities’ campus sexual climate survey results that were released on Monday.

Once we descended from our oatmeal high, we talked about how scared we felt.

When I read President Salovey’s email about the results, I had to lie down. After a particularly rough weekend that marked three years since a dear friend’s murder (yes, you read that right), the last thing I needed was a reminder of other violence and trauma. While my friend’s murder can be classified as an anomaly, I can’t file away sexual violence as easily. More people experience sexual violence and it’s discussed more often.

People are harassed and

assaulted in myriad ways that do not always feature an anony m o u s , drunken figure in an alleyADRIANA way. Drunk and sober MIELE people commit and expeCheck rience sexual violence. yourself As we continue to process the results of the survey and what they say about our campus, I think we need to be mindful of how this place is experienced by differently bodied people. Ultimately, regardless of certain voices that question the believability of an anonymous survey, a great portion of the student body participated, and there was very little incentive to lie.

Women are not safe here.

I do not mean to suggest that women are safe in some other, magical campus where violence is nonexistent. Even women’s colleges have incidents of sexual violence, and harassment and violence among same-sex partners and queer people is a real problem. We live in a world that is unsafe for women, and the reality

is that Yale is a part of it.

The survey’s results indicated that people who identify as a gender other than cisgender male or female are assaulted at a rate of 60 percent. While there are far fewer non-cis people on this campus than cis people, this suggests that certain bodies are at greater risk of attack than others.

Throughout our world, trans and queer people are murdered and traumatized at horrifying rates.

As though this needs to be said, this is not okay.

I recognize that every human being can and will experience pain. Nobody, not the wealthy or the white, is safe from violence in this world. All people who experience trauma should feel validated. Yet, some bodies are at a greater risk of pain. Some people are more likely to feel heard and supported.

When I was harassed and assaulted during my sophomore year, I didn’t understand what happened. I just knew that I was scared, and I felt unsafe, and I knew that a lot of people would doubt or question me. It took me months before I could tell the whole story. When I finally did, I didn’t feel relieved. I felt lost and ashamed.

When we're children, we are taught by our parents. Don’t

accept candy from strangers or visit a white van at the end of a parking lot. We learn to protect our bodies, but as hard as we may try to stay safe, we can still get hurt. When we are hurt, we tend to blame ourselves.

It doesn’t matter if I was honest about what I wanted, or if other boys had been respectful.

One night, someone decided that how I felt didn’t matter.

Before the survey, my reality was real. It still is now. I still survived an experience of violence, and that won’t stop being true.

As I sat in the JE courtyard finishing this column, I was amazed by how supported I felt. I was amazed by my friends and mentors, by the people who heard me and believed me and made me feel important. I implore you to understand that yes: Some people will abandon you. Some people will be mean. Some people will be dismissive. But some people will hold you and toast you bagels. Some people will sit with you on a bed with a bowl of oatmeal.

I am here. I survived. And we believe you.

Beyond Ward 1

ASHLYN OAKES/STAFF ILLUSTRATOR

T

he News sparked a conversation about civic engagement last spring in an article questioning the existence of Ward 1 (“Do Yale and New Haven need Ward 1?” Apr. 20). After interviewing 37 Ward 1 residents, the reporter found that a startling proportion of students could not identify their alder. Using these numbers, Fish Stark ’17 launched a remarkable campaign around an important issue — the political engagement of Yale students.

We talk about this issue quite a lot in the context of the Dems’ voter registration campaigns, the purpose of the Yale Political Union or the organized activism of groups like Fossil Free Yale. Some students care quite a lot about politics, but not about local electoral politics.

The News asked the wrong question, narrowing the conversation about civic engagement to the Ward 1 alder. What do you imagine would have happened if the News had asked, instead, for respondents to name the mayor of New Haven, as well as Connecticut’s governor, senators and state representatives?

To follow that up, the reporter could have asked respondents to name the same list of politicians from their hometown and state. Though I certainly hope that at least half could manage Gov. Dannel Malloy (half credit for Daniel or Dan), this skeptical writer would be willing to wager that the numbers of correctly named politicians working below the federal level would

have been similarly low.

It isn’t just Ward 1 that students are neglecting politically, and it isn’t just students who are failing to engage politically.

National voter turnout in the 2012 general elections was only 57.5 percent, which itself was a drop from 62.3 percent in 2008 and 60.4 percent in 2004. We’re trailing most developed countries in terms of eligible voter turnout by up to 10 to 20 percent.

STARK AND HIS CAMPAIGN GOT IT RIGHT WHEN THEY IDENTIFIED VOTER EDUCATION AND ENGAGEMENT AS A PROBLEM Stark and his campaign got it right when they identified voter education and engagement as a problem — it is, in fact, a crisis.

What they got painfully, significantly wrong was their claim that the source of this problem was Sarah Eidelson ’12, or that it was significant at all. If people don’t understand how politics is relevant to their lives, they sure don’t see how politicians could be.

American citizens remain existentially alienated — from

their local and national communities, from their labor, from their abilities. I believe that politics exists to empower the individual and to foster a communal space of life-building and future-making. We need to move beyond capitalism and reject competition as a measure of good community, instead developing a collaborative politics. I see the incompetence and decreasing imagination of our bipartisan politicians as a source of this political alienation. This causes radical stratification of power along income lines, alongside the increasing commodification of our cultural and political spaces. When we don’t vote, we fail our democracy — but our democracy is failing us. If even 18-, 19- and 20-year-olds can’t be mobilized by idealism, how will anything change?

When you narrow down a problem, you narrow down your solutions. Throughout this election I’ve seen a lot of finger pointing. The Ward 1 alder should make more of an effort to connect with their constituents.

Abstract groups of activists should come out of the woodwork to get people informed.

When people ask, “Who is responsible for the apathy of Yale students?” they invoke the dual definition of “responsible” as being both “cause of” and “solution to” the problem. It is imperative that we find real solutions to this problem instead of wasting time on sporadic blame games.

There’s a case to be made that our political system would need to be entirely overhauled before citizens could feel universally democratically empowered in electoral politics — that, in a post-Citizens United, two-party electoral system, the individual will never realize the immediate consequences of their vote. We definitely need to address the inequities of capitalism: improving welfare and health care opportunities, shortening workweeks and enforcing generous maternal and paternal leaves. These reforms all give people the leisure and resources to engage.

We need a more rigorous debate around these questions.

Why don’t we care about politics? Why won’t we vote? If we want to solve the problem of civic engagement, we should at least scrounge up the names of our own government representatives. Then maybe we could call them sometime, organize some marches, hold some meetings or set up a voter registration drive. We need our bandaid solutions because state mechanisms will continue to churn out profound local consequences, whether we care about them or not. Good democracy requires enthusiastic and wellinformed civic engagement, but that’s probably going to require more than getting the president a Twitter account.

Postdoc denounces model minority myth

BY MANASA RAO CONTRIBUTING REPORTER Not many Asian American children grow up to be comedians, musicians, athletes or politicians — and according to Yale School of Medicine postdoc and popular blogger Jenn Fang, this is a result of the myth of the “model minority.”

Fang — whose blog “Reappropriate” calls itself the web’s foremost Asian American activism, identity, feminism and pop culture site — spoke at St. Anthony Hall Wednesday afternoon in front of an audience of nearly 100 people. Fang explained that the myth, a set of assumptions that pigeonhole Asian Americans into determined careers and roles, needs to be destabilized to allow young Asian Americans to break out of these stock parts.

[The myth of the model minority] destroys alliances between racial groups.

SHIRLEY KUANG ’17 The myth designates Asian Americans as the ideal minority, a group of people who are inherently intelligent, hard-working, successful and good at math and science, Fang said. But this “positive stereotype,” far from benefitting this group of young people, depicts them as uncreative and unassertive, Fang added.

“Asian Americans are aware that in order to demonstrate an authentic Asian American identity, they have to perform at this high achievement stereotype.”

Fang said. “Those who do not perform at this standard start to believe that there is something wrong with them, racially and ethnically.”

Fang went on to discuss how the myth discourages young Asian Americans from entering the creative industries — comedy, popular music, sports — because society chooses to link the achievement of Asians with academic achievement.

Touching on the idea of a “positive stereotype,” she cited an article published on Slate last year

by Philip Guo, an Asian American assistant professor of computer science at the University of Rochester, who stated he had the “privilege of implicit endorsement” as a computer science student because he “looked the part.”

But Fang also said the myth has served as a historical hindrance on success, even in the basic science fields. Fang emphasized that the myth contributes to the “bamboo ceiling,” a factor that encumbers further success at a job for Asian Americans.

Fang said the myth originates from 19th-century intellectual debates in the United States, when Asians entered the workforce as low-income workers, competing with predominantly white laborers. At the time, according to Fang, Asians were seen as dirty, hypersexual and criminal, adding to the yellowperil beliefs that were already prevalent. Fang added that these types of stereotypes persisted until the 1950s.

Ultimately, Fang added, it is important to remember that the myth of the model minority is a direct response to the Civil Rights Movement and that it does not exist in a vacuum. The myth, she said, does not only harm Asian Americans, but also countless other minority groups that are constantly compared to this “model.”

“Our position serves as a way to wedge other minority groups and other people of color by preventing us from finding common cause,” Fang said. “We are now seen as competitors and serve as a model for how other groups are supposed to behave,” Fang said.

A possible solution to destabilize the myth of the model minority, Fang said, is to engage in cross-cultural dialogue and study. She said that at places like Yale, the study of Asian American culture and history is deeply lacking — and this is precisely the kind of place where these conversations could be had and these ideas could be explored.

Students at the event said they agreed that the myth exists and needs to be dismantled through discussion.

“I think it is one of the most damaging parts of the myth of the model minority. It harkens to the old days when races were pitted against each other. It means that it destroys alliances between racial groups, which can be damaging to political alliances,” Shirley Kuang ’17 said. “It is really awful.”

Kevin Hu ’18 agreed that while the myth is perpetuated in popular media, such as mainstream television shows or music, it is also a self-fulfilling phenomenon.

An Asian seeing other successful Asians creates pressure to fill that role, he said.

Fang ended the talk by stating why she believes the myth has persisted. She stated that the idea of a model minority is very appealing and easy for the general public to understand and unassumingly internalize.

“We think about stories that are easy to tell. When we think about a minority boosting out of hardship and succeeding, it gives us hope,” Fang said. “So, it is a part of our national conversation since it reinforces the American Dream.”

Certain Ivy League schools have changed their testing requirements in order to accommodate the new SAT exam launching this spring.

BY TYLER FOGGATT STAFF REPORTER With a redesigned SAT set to launch in the spring, certain Ivy League schools — Yale included — have altered their testing requirements in order to accommodate the new exam.

Dean of Undergraduate Admissions Jeremiah Quinlan said the Admissions Office used the redesigned SAT as an opportunity to take a more comprehensive look at the University’s current testing requirements. Previously, applicants were expected to either take the ACT Plus Writing test, or the SAT along with any two SAT II subject tests.

Now, Quinlan said, applicants can choose between the ACT Plus Writing or the redesigned SAT with the optional essay section. He added that Yale will be requiring the essay section for students who just wish to submit SAT scores.

SAT II subject tests are now simply recommended, Quinlan added, and students have the option of using Score Choice to send in their highest subject test scores.

“There’s no perfect standardized admissions test,” Quinlan said. “But the redesigned SAT does look to be an improvement over the last exam, in terms of clearness and connection to [the college] curriculum. We felt like requiring the optional writing portion would send a message that quality writing is highly important at Yale. And because the SAT and ACT are now more similar, it didn’t make sense to have the additional SAT II requirement.”

The redesigned SAT will be launched in March 2016. In addition to the exam aligning more closely with college curriculums, Caldwell said, the test will emphasize evidence-based reasoning and more specific math concepts. The exam will also be returning to a 1,600point scale, Caldwell said.

One notable component of the redesigned SAT is the exam’s optional essay section, which will ask students to evalu-

ate and analyze source texts. The current test simply requires students to write an opinionated essay.

Although Yale and many of its peer institutions — Harvard, Princeton and Dartmouth — have decided to require the optional essay section of the test, the other four Ivies have not aligned their testing policies in this way. Columbia, Cornell, Brown and the University of Pennsylvania will not be requiring its applicants to complete the writing section.

Quinlan said Yale made alterations to its testing requirements based on internal conversations, referring to the policy change as an “institution-specific decision.” The choice was discussed by the faculty committee on admissions and financial aid, Quinlan said, as well as admissions staff.

Parke Muth, a former associate dean of admissions and director of international admissions at the University of Virginia, said that when each Ivy League school considered whether to require the optional essay, there were likely a variety of factors taken into account.

[T]he more information you gather, the better you’ll be able to holistically evaluate a student.

MICHAEL GORAN Director, IvySelect College Counseling “Why are some schools — including Stanford and a few of the Ivies — requiring the writing section of the SAT?” Muth said. “If you look at the changes the SAT has made to the writing section, it looks as if they really are trying to give universities a chance to read and evaluate writing and critical thinking skills. The new writing section for both the SAT and ACT requires more thought on the part of the students.”

Muth added that other schools may be hesitant to require the new essay because past studies have shown the SAT essay to be ineffective in assessing writing quality.

Michael Goran, director and founder of IvySelect College Counseling, said schools have always questioned whether or not the essay is indicative of a student’s ability to do college-level work.

Goran cited the University of Pennsylvania as a school that has expressed doubt regarding the essay’s usefulness.

“Some schools may still choose to require it,” Goran said. “It’s a philosophical difference of whether you want to have more information, because the more information you gather, the better you’ll be able to holistically evaluate a student.”

According to Muth, some schools may have opted against the essay in an attempt to encourage more students from certain backgrounds to apply. The issue, some admissions officers noted, is one of cost.

The redesigned SAT costs $43 without the essay, and $54.50 with the essay included. Columbia Dean of Undergraduate Admissions and Financial Aid Jessica Marinaccio wrote in a statement that Columbia will not require the optional essay, partly because the essay poses an extra cost to students.

Though the College Board does offer fee waivers to eligible students, Marinaccio noted, Columbia does not want the “perceived expense of testing costs to be a barrier.”

Both Muth and Goran agreed that requiring the optional essay will not result in fewer applicants to Yale.

“Schools that give more freedom about tests or the writing section may increase the number of applicants,” Muth said.

“But the schools that still require SAT II or the writing section or both are the most selective and highest ranked in the U.S, so it is unlikely that their application numbers will fall as a result.”

PA organizations split on Yale proposal

BY EMMA PLATOFF AND AMAKA UCHEGBU STAFF REPORTERS While students remain vocally opposed to Yale’s plan to move forward in creating a separate online Physician Assistant program, national physician assistant organizations have voiced differing opinions on the topic.

One such organization, the Physician Assistant Education Association — the only national organization that represents physician assistant programs — sup-

ports Yale’s proposal. Another, the American Academy of Physician Assistants — the national professional society for physician assistants — said it “does not endorse the Yale program,” when asked

by Facebook users to clarify its stance.

“A diversity of program missions, curricula and instructional methods creates a more innovative educational system,” said Sean Stickle, chief communications director for the PAEA, in an email. “We support all programs in developing innovative educa-

tional models and techniques that help them respond to the evolving needs of their students, their communities and the welfare of patients. Yale’s blended program, like every accredited PA program, must meet the uncompromising standards developed by the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA) — standards which guarantee a consistent and high-quality foundation for PA programs nationwide.”

Still, Yale’s proposed online program has yet to be accred-

ited by the ARC-PA. In fact, its last application for accreditation was rejected this spring. Current PA students have also expressed concerns that students educated online will not receive the same quality of training as their oncampus peers.

Close to 100 Facebook users commented on the AAPA’s post.

The AAPA told Facebook users that it did not endorse Yale’s proposed online program, but did not respond to the News’ request for an official statement.

Chandra Goff MED ’14, an

alumna of Yale’s PA program, said that although she would prefer that Yale did not go ahead with the online program at all, she is glad that it is now being proposed as a separate program to the residential program.

Goff said that it is important to train a broad workforce. But, she said she questions whether or not it is possible to do this through an online education.

“Training people to practice medicine is not something that can be easily done online,” Goff said. “I question whether it can be

adequately done at all.”

Program director James Van Rhee said he is still waiting on a response from the ARC-PA about Yale’s request to move forward with program development. At a meeting last month, Van Rhee said a potential early online program would not start before 2017.

The AAPA was established in 1968.

A

s is consistent with years past, students pursuing positions in the public sector, including nonprofits, government and nongovernmental organizations, remained strong at 30 percent.

Robyn Acampora, OCS’s director of strategic initiatives and public service careers, said the figure should not come as a surprise considering how involved students are in on-campus community service.

Acampora highlighted alumni connections as a major motivator for how students pursue careers in public service.

“When students can hear from alumni who have created careers in public service, it not only inspires them to do great work but also shows them that it is possible to make a living in these sectors,” Acampora said, adding that she hosts weekly public service walkin advising hours for interested students.

Akinyi Ochieng ’15 said that growing up in the Washington, D.C. area, she was surrounded by family and friends who were engaged in the nonprofit and public service worlds. Ochieng said that exposure, coupled with her interest in public and private approaches to international development, peaked her interest in a position in public service. Ochieng currently works at the Global Shea Alliance, a nonprofit association working to drive a sustainable shea industry to improve the lives of rural African women and their communities, in Accra, Ghana.

“Yale certainly places a moral imperative and a sense of urgency in giving back to the world,” Ochieng said.

But, Ochieng added that she did not have help applying to her current fellowship and job from OCS, though she did for applying to graduate school from which she deferred.

T

he class of 2015 also saw an increase in students pursuing careers in the healthcare industry, which moved into the top five industries — alongside financial services, consulting, education and technology — chosen by this class.

The other four categories remained consistent from the previous year.

Kristin McJunkins, OCS’s director of health professions advisory programs, said the majority of Yale graduates entering the healthcare industry do tend to apply to allopathic, or MD, medical programs, though OCS does provide resources for those interested in osteopathic and dentalmedical schools.

Andrew Briggs ’15, an analyst for the healthcare consulting firm Health Advances, said he used OCS to connect with employers who specifically recruit at Yale but that he did not specifically seek out any OCS administrators for advice on entering the healthcare industry or in choosing a particular employer. Briggs said it was possible that his graduating class entered the healthcare indus-

try in higher numbers because of the changing nature of the field itself.

“Everything about healthcare — costs, treatment rates, the number of healthcare professionals — is growing, so there are always new opportunities unique to healthcare,” he said.

Briggs added that he thinks some opportunities within the healthcare field, such as clinical research, are underserved by OCS. Briggs said OCS resources may tend to go where the money is, namely industries like consulting and finance.

Though the data will likely continue to fluctuate until the final survey results are compiled in November, OCS Director Jeanine Dames said the survey should help dispel the myth that most post-graduate jobs are secured in the fall of senior year.

Similar to the past two years, approximately 60 percent of those working in the class of 2015 secured their post-graduate position during their final spring term or later.

Alpha Phi recruitment continues

Doughnut supplier to open store on Whitney

BY AMY CHENG CONTRIBUTING REPORTER

WILLIAM ALIKA SMITH/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Yale’s newest sorority Alpha Phi will continue to accept members on a rolling basis throughout the fall semester.

BY JON VICTOR STAFF REPORTER Despite extending 43 bids for their charter class nearly two weeks ago, Yale’s newest sorority will continue to accept members on a rolling basis to interested students throughout the rest of the fall semester.

In late April, Yale Panhellenic announced that Alpha Phi would come to campus as Yale’s fourth sorority to accommodate increased demand for Greek life among women at Yale. For the past few weeks, the sorority has been recruiting sophomores, juniors and seniors to be part of its charter class. Freshmen will then be able to join during the standard spring rush process, which is also when all the other sororities will officially begin recruiting.

Members were officially offered bids at an event on Sept.

12. Since then, Alpha Phi has been functioning as a regular sorority: It has held mixers, chapter meetings and sisterhood events. Still, they are looking for more members to be part of the charter class before official rush begins in January.

“Many women were unable to attend our recruitment events due to conflicts with shopping period or because of prior commitments,” said Lauren Drewniany, a representative from Alpha Phi’s national headquarters tasked with helping establish the Yale chapter. “Now is a great opportunity for the women who were in those situations to still have a chance to learn more about Alpha Phi.” Though Alpha Phi is currently reaching out to even more students, dozens of women were turned away during the initial round of recruitment earlier this month. Over 70 students interviewed for spots in the charter

class, and only 43 were ultimately offered bids, Drewniany said.

Jéssica Leão ’16, president of Kappa Alpha Theta, said keeping Alpha Phi’s initial class small would help to facilitate close relationships among new members. Pi Beta Phi and Kappa Alpha Theta both had 53 members in their most recent new member classes.

Although Yale does not allow Greek organizations to organize formal recruitment during the fall, Leão said that having a base of members was necessary for Alpha Phi to participate in formal recruitment in January. They were therefore encouraged to recruit a class of upperclassmen informally this fall, she said, instead of doing all of their recruiting through the official spring process.

Despite the advantages to having a small chapter, Alpha Phi’s most recent outreach may be an attempt to take the maximum number of students they can.

According to Leão, sororities at Yale may not accept more than a certain number of members, which is set by the National Panhellenic Council based on factors like average chapter size and number of rushees. When that number is not met after initial bids are issued, they can choose to recruit informally to get up to the quota.

Since many women have already been inducted into Alpha Phi, Drewniany said the sorority will work hard to integrate those members who join later in the semester through additional recruitment.

“We have prioritized planning sisterhood events throughout the semester so all our sisters, whether they joined in the initial recruitment process or after, can bond,” Drewniany said. “A lot of women who we have reached out to after our initial recruitment

process already know women in Alpha Phi.” Alpha Phi maintains a very active social media presence.

Yale Alpha Phi’s Facebook page has over 800 likes, and their Instagram account has over 350 followers. In addition, Alpha Phi representatives have been using Facebook to directly get in contact with students who they believe may be interested in joining Greek life.

Drewniany said Yale Panhellenic provided Alpha Phi with a list of students who withdrew from formal recruitment last year. In addition, she said, they have been receiving recommendations from current members, other Greek organizations and clubs on campus.

“We are reaching out to women via Facebook because it is simple, easy to use, and more often students check social media more frequently than emails,” Drewniany said, adding that there has generally been a positive response to their messages.

Caroline Colwell ’18 said she received a Facebook message last weekend from Jillian Knowles, another Alpha Phi representative managing recruitment. In the message, Knowles asked if Colwell was interested in learning more about Alpha Phi and invited her to get coffee if she wanted to discuss Greek life at Yale.

“I think it’s great that they’re reaching out to people and making sure that everyone feels included,” Colwell said.

She suggested that Alpha Phi’s efforts may encourage people who would like to join, but might not have thought of it themselves.

Until Alpha Phi, Yale had not added a new sorority since Pi Beta Phi came to campus in 1989.

Entering its eighth year in business as a doughnut supplier, Tony’s Orangeside Donuts will soon have a retail storefront dedicated to dogughnuts within the next two to three weeks.

Tony Poleshek Jr., owner of Tony’s Orangeside Donuts, said the new doughnut shop will be located at 24 Whitney Ave., right across the street from the Willoughby’s Coffee & Tea behind Timothy Dwight College. In the past year, Orangeside used retail trucks to sell their doughnuts in the area around the New Haven Green and at various locations on Temple Street. But Poleshek said he has always been fond of the Whitney Avenue area, adding that he picked the specific storefront location because of its proximity to campus and Yale students.

“As far as being closer on campus, there are only a few locations — Whitney Avenue, York Street and Broadway,” Poleshek said. “As you know, Broadway is busier, but is also very highvalued. So choosing Whitney Avenue made sense.”

Last year, the shop worked with and became a vendor for Yale, supplying its doughnuts to Yale retail locations, including Durfee’s, the School of Management and Kline Biology Tower. Originally, Poleshek also owned a restaurant — Orangeside on Temple — that served both breakfast and doughnuts. But, as the demand for the doughnuts grew, he decided to branch out and establish a space dedicated squarely to doughnuts.

Adam Millman, director of auxiliary operations at Yale Dining, characterized the collaboration between the two as a great working relationship that permits Yale to order many customary doughnut flavors directly from the source.

“Orangeside is just one of the small local New Haven businesses we work with, which promotes our commitment of working with local businesses.”

But the new Orangeside Donuts faces competition in the surrounding area on Whitney Avenue. For instance, Dunkin’ Donuts is located just a few doors down from the new storefront.

Still, Poleshek and his business partner Oron Arbogast, though, both said they have great confidence in their products.

“I have never been worried about competition,” Poleshek said. “If you make better products, people will buy more.”

Poleshek added that Orangeside Donuts’ popularity stems from the craftsmanship involved in the doughnut-making process. The only machinery involved in the production is the mixer, and all other ingredients are handcut and hand-rolled.

Poleshek added that Orangeside’s doughnuts are distinct in their square shape.

“I say abnormal donuts are round,” Poleshek joked.

Traditional round doughnuts require multiple cuts to the dough, and more flour with each cut, causing the dough be tighter and denser.

But square doughnuts do not need multiple cuts, making them softer and tastier, according to Poleshek.

Becca Young ’18, a TD resident, had already noticed the new shop under construction as she walked past the storefront. Several students interviewed said they were interested in trying out the new shop.

Daniel Matyas ’16, another TD resident, said he is excited that the area around his residential college continues to add local businesses.

“I am a senior, so it is fun to watch this whole [Whitney Avnue. area] start to develop for the past few years,” Matyas said.

Some of the most sought-after doughnut flavors include almond butter crunch, apple cinnamon and Mounds. There will also be many additions to the menu in the near future, including pumpkin cinnamon.

FROM THE FRONT

“Education, housing and hospitals are the most important things for society.”

ZAHA HADID IRAQI-BRITISH ARCHITECT

Inequality pervades Elm City housing market INEQUALITY FROM PAGE 1 land Investment Corporation, through New Haven Legal Assistance.

Mayor Toni Harp told the News that the city has been working in collaboration with the landlords and the Housing Authority to move families to safer housing, but the next steps still remain unclear. The complex as a whole, which houses close to 300 families, will either be remediated or torn down, Harp said.

“One of our basic needs is a home, and no one can live in a place that is environmentally hazardous,” Harp said.

But living in a hazardous environment was the reality for many of the Church Street South tenants and others across the city.

Natalie Gonzalez, who was recently displaced from her home in Church Street South, told the News after her first displacement in early September that her home had mold growing in it, with the smell becoming so strong that it made her physically sick.

Along with her neighbors who have also been displaced, she has been left frustrated.

“I’ve been complaining since 2008, but they didn’t want to fix my apartment. There was no response at all. No response.

They didn’t even send anybody,” Gonzalez said.

THE CITY’S HOUSING LANDSCAPE

In December, a new apartment building is set to open on the corner of College and Crown Streets.

Right in the center of downtown and minutes from City Hall stands a brand-new five-story complex, a project that was estimated to cost $50 million.

“The upscale complex by Centerplan Development Company will offer residents the unique combination of premium amenities and convenient location which will attract buyers that are not only looking for a home, but a lifestyle,” the developers wrote on the apartment block’s Facebook page on March 10.

The lifestyle, however, is not accessible to the entire New Haven community, reflecting economic divides in the Elm City.

A report from the Economic Policy Institute in Washington, D.C. released in January this year highlighted that the state of Connecticut has the largest income gap between the top 1 percent and the other 99 percent. The state is home to towns of phenomenal wealth, such as Greenwich, and cities plagued by poverty, such as Bridgeport.

When translated into dollar amounts, the top 1 percent earns an average income of $2,683,600, while the average income of everyone else is $53,603. And, in regard to income growth, in Connecticut the top 1 percent of earners saw an average of 35 percent growth from 2009 to 2012, whereas the other 99 percent received a negative 5.4 percent growth in the same years.

The numbers, when focused specifically on New Haven, are so striking that Bloomberg ranked the Elm City 39th in the country for the highest income inequality.

New Haven was also 49th on a list of the cities with the highest rates

of poverty in the country.

Numbers like these can cause sites like College and Crown to receive significant backlash from the rest of the community. A resident of Church Street South, who wished to remain anonymous to protect his identity when applying for city jobs, said it is disheartening, and sometimes offensive, to see a lot of projects arise for the sake of Yale students, graduates and professors when people for whom New Haven is their home are “thrown to the side a little.”

“Most of us can’t afford even the cheapest apartments in these buildings,” he said.

Data from Partnership for Strong Communities — a Connecticut-based research forum working on addressing issues of homelessness in the state — would suggest that he is correct.

The median annual income for renting households is $27,452, with the median gross rent in the city being $1,090 per month. For the average renter in New Haven, 48 percent of their income is spent on rent.

One of our basic needs is a home, and no one can live in a place that is environmentally hazardous.

MAYOR TONI HARP At the College and Crown apartments, the cheapest apartment — listed as a “Junior 1 Bedroom” — has a monthly rent of $1,620. The most expensive apartments — “Loft” apartments on the top floor— have a monthly rent of $5,000. For the median renter to live in these apartments, they would have to spend 71 percent of their pre-tax income on rent each month.

Centerplan Development Company, the group overseeing the project, did not return a request for comment.

The Partnership for Strong Communities group identifies any living situation which costs above 30 percent of a household’s income as “cost-burdensome.” In New Haven, according to the group’s 2015 data, 59 percent of renters are in this category, as are 42 percent of people who own their homes. Furthermore, 21 percent of all households in the city fall under a category defined by local nonprofit organization DataHaven as “severely cost-burdened,” meaning that over half of a household’s income is spent on their rent.

For people living downtown, where the rents are higher, these numbers increase, leading to a concentration of homelessness in the city’s core.

SPOTLIGHT ON DOWNTOWN

The sharp housing inequality in the city most prominently manifests itself in the downtown area within a one-mile radius of City Hall, said Ward 18 Alder Salvatore DeCola, who represents the East Shore area. Many developers interviewed said they

are attracted to the prospect of profiting on the expansion of the University and the biotech companies which are funneling new jobs and more high-income earners into the area.

“There’s not much affordable housing downtown,” DeCola said. “In the next three or four years, 3,500 new apartments will be available, but most of them are high-end. So, there is a problem.”

Last Wednesday, that list of new apartments grew even longer as the City Plan Commission approved another apartment development, to be built no more than 50 feet away from the College and Crown apartments. Metro Properties wants to develop a series of studio apartments above the BAR restaurant, which would be targeted toward Yale graduate students.

While the apartments may be a new development, that section of town has featured vacant buildings, which, in the past, have served as a popular place of refuge and shelter for the city’s homeless population. This information was brought to light by New Haven Police Department spokesman David Hartman when the department discovered the torso of Ray Roberson, whose body parts were discovered in three locations — including this area — across the city this past July.

Ward 7 Alder Abigail Roth ’90 LAW ’94 — who represents portions of Wooster Square, the Medical District and the Hill and Dwight neighborhoods — presented a more optimistic vision.

Roth said she is confident that the new developments will increase the density of people using the area, which can simultaneously help address some previous safety concerns. Furthermore, she also said, because the developments will not displace anyone currently living in the area, the situation is “better than nothing.”

And, in “New Haven Vision 2025” — a 10-year development program for the city which was recently approved by the City Plan Commission and is now awaiting approval from the Board of Alders — the plan is to increase the number of these housing complexes downtown. The complex that the program uses as a prime example of positive housing development in the city is 360 State St., the first high-rise apartment building in the city.

THE YALE CONNECTION

While the focus has been on Church Street South as of late, the conversation turned to Yale this week when the New Haven Independent reported that families originally displaced from the housing complex would be displaced yet again. This time, they would be moved from hotel rooms at the Premiere Hotel and Suites at Long Wharf so that Yale parents who had booked the rooms for the upcoming Family Weekend could take the rooms.

Kiana Hernandez ’18 posted a link to the article in the popular Facebook group “Overheard at Yale,” commenting that students should be mindful of the impact Yale can have on the day-to-day lives of those living in the city.

She told the News that she feels

In Carlisle death, no easy answers CARLISLE FROM PAGE 1 dent], and Carlisle had all been drinking,” according to the police report.

“Carlisle started to get jealous of Michaud and [the female student].

Carlisle grabbed a knife that was on the nightstand next to the bed. Carlisle stabbed Michaud in the neck area.”

The female student has not been publicly identified in any police documents, and her name was redacted from the report that Gawker published online. According to the report, the female student was too distraught to provide a statement to the police at the time of the incident. Both students remain enrolled at Yale.

After the stabbing, according to the police report, Carlisle went into the living room and paced back and forth, saying “I’m sorry,” while the female student called the police and held a t-shirt to Michaud’s neck to stanch

the bleeding. Although Michaud told police he did not see Carlisle actually jump, he told police that he recalled him sitting on the windowsill and saying he was going to do so.

Michaud did not attend Carlisle’s memorial service, held early in June, said Reed Morgan ’17, a friend of the two men.

“He worried that his presence would make it more about the incident and less about Tyler’s life,” Morgan said.

As to making sense of the incident, Morgan said, “some things are beyond understanding and we move on by accepting that.”

many students are unaware of this impact, which can have both positive and negative effects.

“I feel like from the viewpoint of the student, it’s great because then Yale can create new spaces for new programs and centers and stuff,” Hernandez, who grew up in the New Haven area, said. “But from the perspective of a New Haven resident, there’s this sense of ‘Yale is buying everything.’”

But not all of her classmates agreed with her comments on the article, with others arguing that Yale can serve as a major economic driver for the city — an anchor institution that generates jobs, particularly in the health and tech sectors. In fact, the University and Yale-New Haven Hospital are currently the city’s two largest employers, providing jobs for 40 percent of the city.

Roth said, particularly in her ward, making space for people in a higher income bracket can be positive as those with higher incomes would pay higher taxes and put more money into the local economy.

Ward 22 Alder Jeanette Morri-

son, whose constituency includes residents from both parts of Dixwell and parts of the Yale campus, said irrespective of whether or not Yale is a positive force, it brings about diversity of income and therefore a diversity of demands and needs in regard to housing.

“That’s why I think this neighborhood is so diverse in people because of the availability of housing and where the setting is. In this area you have a lot of people that are affiliated with Yale because they’re a student or they work there,” Morrison said.

“As far as cost, the cost ranges from people who have very little money to people who have a lot of money.”

These differences can be difficult to address, and no simple solution has made itself evident.

DeCola described the issue as “a very complicated puzzle.”

There has been progress, however. Ruth Hanna ’17, one of the directors of Yale’s Hunger and Homelessness Action Project, said this August, Connecticut became the first state to end chronic homelessness among

veterans, adding that the total number of people experiencing homelessness in New Haven has dropped 9 percent — from 660 to 567 individuals — since 2011, according to a report released by the social advocacy group Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness.

“Any number of people experiencing homelessness is disturbing, but recent events provide reason for hope,” she said.

But, while homelessness numbers have dropped, alders interviewed emphasized that the inequality seen in New Haven’s housing market is a clear demonstration that the income divide remains a critical challenge facing city policymakers — a challenge that requires not only more affordable housing options, but a comprehensive review of all barriers to better employment opportunities.

Yale employees fund Clinton campaign CLINTON FROM PAGE 1 Although tax-exempt educational institutions, including Yale, are prohibited from participating in or donating to political campaigns, educators across the nation have tended to support Democrats in recent elections. In 2012, for example, President Barack Obama received more than $21.6 million from educators, compared to only $3.78 million for former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Due to this tendency, as well as Clinton’s personal connection with the University, students, faculty and staff members interviewed were generally unsurprised by the monetary support the University’s employees have provided.

Antle said the deep and personal relationship that Clinton developed with her classmates and professors over the years has contributed to her popularity with Yale-affiliated voters.

“This is a tangible manifestation

of the community spirit at Yale,” Antle said.

From what I understand, Hillary’s values and Yale’s values are pretty similar in many ways.

EUGENIA ZHUKOVSKY ’18 Antle further added that this is especially true in professional schools like the law school, where students develop friendships based on common interests in their future careers. He noted, however, that the general association of the educational sector with the Democratic Party is not always true. He cited the University of Chicago, where he used to work, as an example of a college with a more conservative environment.

Mitch Weiner, a general building

mechanic at the University who identifies as a Republican, said he believes that Ivy League schools usually back liberal candidates, suggesting that professors who have liberal inclinations “corrupt their students.”

Students interviewed, however, had more mixed and moderate views on Clinton.

“I am not surprised [by the support for Clinton],” Eugenia Zhukovsky ’18 said. “From what I understand, Hillary’s values and Yale’s values are pretty similar in many ways.”

However, several students said that Democratic presidential candidate and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders appears to be a more popular choice among their peers. Zhukovsky said that she supports Sanders because she respect Sanders’ honesty and idealistic view of politics.

Clinton received the Award of Merit from the law school in 2013.

Mobile shop peddles art on city streets

BY RACHEL TREISMAN CONTRIBUTING REPORTER This week, the typical colors of New England autumn will be joined by vivid orange, in the form of a shiny bicycle that sells handcrafted artwork. Called CityLove, this bike-propelled retail shop that sells handmade local gifts is working to make New Haven art easily accessible to city residents.

The retail shop is an initiative of Project Storefronts, a program that connects artists and entrepreneurs to new retail spaces in hopes of promoting the local artistic community in New Haven. CityLove, which will sell handmade products including canvas tote bags, T-shirts, pins, journals and stationary, begins its official run tomorrow and plans to continue through the holiday season and beyond.

Elinor Slomba, program manager of Project Storefronts, explained that the organization spearheaded the idea for CityLove as a means to help artists prepare to sell their work professionally while also promoting locally made products in a city whose artistic community is often overlooked.

“We don’t have a ‘Welcome to New Haven’ gift shop right now, so this fills that niche and encourages artists to incorporate New Haven in their branding,” Slomba said. “There’s a large emphasis on product development as well as products that speak to a sense of place.”

The bicycle and the cart both come from New Haven’s The Devil’s Gear Bike Shop on Orange Street. In addition to providing these materials, The Devil’s Gear owner Matt Feiner said he also plans to support the mobile shop by selling hand-printed T-shirts with a tricycle logo spelling out “First Love,” as a bicycle is often a child’s first love.

Feiner said he became involved with CityLove because he believes the initia-

recycleyourydndaily

tive is an innovative way to promote local artistic talent and support the city community more broadly. He added that he believes many Elm City artists have been “overlooked” for New York or Los Angeles artists.

“New Haven isn’t famous for its art, but it absolutely should be,” Feiner said.

Among the other dozen vendors whose work will be sold on the bike is Clymenza Hawkins, a photo collage mixed-media artist who has lived in the New Haven area for four years and operated a Project Storefronts pop-up store this summer.

Hawkins, who will be selling cards and journals that focus on “women in transformation,” believes the mobile shop will be beneficial to artists and consumers alike.

“It’s a good way to expose local artists who may not have access to a gallery or the media; it’s nice of the community to know who they are and in a small way help them out by buying something homemade or handmade. Whatever craft it may be, it’s art,” Hawkins said. “And it’s a great thing [for consumers] to know about before the holidays, because people are still interested in handmade gifts, even in this world of technology.”

Slomba echoed this sentiment, adding that the community response has been overwhelmingly positive so far and that the project plans to continually improve the concept as they receive more feedback. She added that the artists who carry works on the cart have already been paid, and CityLove hopes to eventually carry work from up to 20 artists at any given time.

CityLove can be found on Church and Chapel Streets this week, as well as at the New Haven Pride Street Festival this weekend. Prices range from $1.50 for pins to $30 and up for larger pieces.

Telepharmacy saving YNHHS money

BY AMAKA UCHEGBU STAFF REPORTER The Smilow Cancer Hospital is preparing to incorporate Lawrence and Memorial Healthcare into its telepharmacy system, which uses video, audio and photo surveillance to supervise technicians preparing chemotherapy drugs from a central location in Smilow.

The system, which has cut down the turnaround time for cancer drugs by more than half since its launch, was developed in 2012. At the time, Smilow was preparing to acquire nine physician oncology practices across Connecticut, said Howard Cohen, associate director of oncology pharmacy services at Yale-New Haven Hospital. Smilow wanted to integrate the practices without incurring extra costs through putting additional staff in the centers.

Telepharmacy allows a central team of pharmacists stationed in Smilow to supervise multiple technicians across Connecticut as they prepare chemotherapy drugs.

The pharmacists not based in New Haven are able to counsel patients and advise physicians about drug dosage concerns. Before it was piloted in 2012, the turnover for a single drug order took more than an hour and a half. With the system, it now takes roughly 45 minutes. Telepharmacy speeds up drug turnaround by eliminating the need for technicians to wait for drug order verification from the pharmacist in their specific location. Instead, any pharmacist in the network can review and approve orders.

Now, as Smilow’s network grows larger, the hospital is looking to expand the reach of its telepharmacy system.

“From a patient perspective, [telepharmacy] enhances their ability to deliver treatment in a

recycleyourydndaily

recycleyourydndaily

cost-effective way that is close to home,” said Executive Director of Patient Care Services at Smilow Cancer Hospital Catherine Lyons.

Smilow’s model uses digital photography, audio and video connectivity to monitor technicians in real time as they prepare cancer drugs for patients. Cohen said telepharmacy streamlines the drug turnover process.

After a health care provider in Smilow’s network enters a drug order into Epic, the hospital’s electronic patient portal, any pharmacist in Smilow’s central New Haven location can view and verify the order.

With telepharmacy, [pharmacists] wouldn’t be tied to the computer. They can be out educating.

HOWARD COHEN Associate director of oncology pharmacy services, Yale-New Haven Hospital Technicians in each practice prepare the drugs while being monitored from afar. The distance, Cohen said, actually enhances the amount of supervision they receive. Pharmacists in the central location can talk to the technicians preparing the drug through telephone systems and send technical instructions telling them step by step how to prepare the drugs.

The technician photographs the drug preparation throughout each stage of the process. As a final failsafe, pharmacists verify the therapy and review the photos taken by the technician before they allow the drug to be administered.

Cohen said this remote supervision system has decreased the

recycleyourydndaily

number of errors at the hospital. After the 2012 pilot, Smilow recorded 1.7 percent fewer errors.

The improvement prompted the state to change a law that required pharmacists to be physically present to supervise technicians, Cohen added.

“We’re not opposed to challenging regulations if they don’t make sense,” Cohen said. “My word of wisdom is ‘don’t let regulation be a brick wall.’”

Telepharmacy has also allowed Smilow to double its patient base.

With a cost-effective system in place, Smilow can now acquire oncology practices across the state without worrying about the money it may lose transporting drug treatments, Lyons said.

“With telepharmacy, [pharmacists] wouldn’t be tied to the computer,” said Cohen. “They can be out educating patients. They can use telepharmacy as an enabler.”

Cohen said the benefits of telepharmacy reach the patient through shorter wait times for orders. With the new system, orders can be processed as soon as they are submitted by a provider.

Cohen added that as Smilow’s network grows, efficient care will become more important.

As part of Yale New Haven Health System’s affiliation with L+M, the Epic electronic medical record system will be implemented throughout the L+M Healthcare system, allowing it to access and share drug orders and other medical information.

L+M will also become a corporate member of YNHHS, joining Bridgeport, Greenwich and YaleNew Haven Hospital as a full member of the system, and becoming the first hospital since 1998 to join YNHHS. Contact AMAKA UCHEGBU at amaka.uchegbu@yale.edu .

FROM THE FRONT

“C is quirky, flawed and an enormous success.”

DENNIS M. RITCHIE AMERICAN COMPUTER SCIENTIST AND CREATOR OF C

Teaching comes naturally, undergrad learning assistants say CS50 FROM PAGE 1 “I suppose this is one of the main challenges for all teachers. It’s difficult to put yourself back into beginner’s shoes and remember that the most basic elements of a subject you think about for hours each day are non-obvious to beginners.”

Each week, the ULAs receive an agenda of topics they should cover in class, but the team heads understand that there are multiple ways to teach a subject. As long as the ULAs abide by the staff’s philosophy and put in the time necessary for the job, the team heads are satisfied.

ULAs interviewed said they were surprised to find that teaching their peers has come more naturally than expected, and similarly, students said being taught by ULAs of their same age has not been awkward.

[My CS50 tutor] is definitely a peer … but it doesn’t feel awkward. In some ways, it makes her more approachable than the alternative.

KATHERINE WATSON ’18 “I originally thought that having a peer as a TA would be a bit weird,” said CS50 student Katherine Watson ’18 in an email.

“However, that hasn’t been the case. I’ve been very impressed with my TA. She is definitely a peer, considering that she is both in my class year and residential college, but it doesn’t feel awkward. In some ways, it makes her more approachable than the alternative.”

Haohang Xu ’18 agreed, saying that she thinks her students are more comfortable with asking her questions than they would be with, for instance, a graduate student because she is their age.

CS50 has 30 sections that are each one and a half hours long — 40 minutes longer than the normal Yale section.

Hockey to head for warmer weather in Arizona HOCKEY FROM PAGE 1 senior associate athletics director Wayne Dean, who assists with the men’s hockey scheduling process, could be reached for comment.

The Yale-Harvard men’s hockey rivalry has lasted since the year 1900 for 249 games, with 11 of those taking place in the past two years due to Rivalry on Ice and additional games in the ECAC playoffs.

Harvard’s history with Quinnipiac, however, comprises just 24 matchups since the Bobcats joined the ECAC in 2005.

Despite the objective of Rivalry on Ice to honor a storied tradition of Yale-Harvard matchups, Yale director of sports publicity Steve Conn noted that repeating the event several times can be a disadvantage for a team.

No one’s really upset, I don’t think, that we’re not doing [the Rivalry on Ice].

MIKE DOHERTY ’17

BRIANNA LOO/SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER

The Bulldogs are 8–2–1 against the Crimson over the past two seasons, including victories in each Rivalry on Ice game.

“From my perspective, certainly it’s attractive for recruiting to mix things up and take a trip to a place that you don’t usually go to, another NHL building,” Conn said. “There’s also no real advantage to playing a rival three times, and possibly as many as five or six times. It can dilute the rivalry.”

The Army-Navy matchup will continue the event’s initial purpose of showcasing historic football rivalries on the ice. However, the game will not be an official collegiate game because the Navy men’s hockey team is a club program rather than an NCAA-recognized varsity team.

Harvard men’s hockey associate head coach Paul Pearl said that despite Yale’s decision not to compete in the event, the Crimson agreed to a third game at Madison Square Garden because the venue makes for an “off-the-charts” player experience.

“For us, it was a great chance to play at that venue again,” Pearl said. “We’re really excited, and we’re happy that Quinnipiac can play …

Obviously Quinnipiac will be a really good test for us down there, too.”

Over 2,100 miles away in Glendale, Arizona, Yale will play in a tournament with Connecticut, Michigan Tech and brand-new Division I program Arizona State. The trip will be the Bulldogs’ first ever to Arizona, and the longest journey they have taken since playing in the Great Alaska Face-off, at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, in November of 1992.

Though the Elis played UConn as recently as last season, they have not faced off against Michigan Tech since a 7–3 loss in 1974, and this will be their first time playing the Sun Devils.

“We’re going to get to play teams we don’t usually play, which is probably good for pair-wise advantage,” Doherty said, referring to the ranking system that NCAA hockey uses.

Doherty added that the popularity of ice hockey is expanding across the country, and that it may be helpful for recruiting purposes to play in the western part of the country. He mentioned the example of Auston Matthews, the top 18-year old prospect in the country, who is a Scottsdale, Arizona native.

Elsewhere in the Elis’ nonconference schedule this season, Yale hosts Boston University on Dec. 11 in a rematch of last year’s Northeast Regional Semifinal game. The Bulldogs start the season with the Capital City Classic in Trenton, New Jersey, where they will play Princeton on Oct. 30 and either Maine or Massachusetts the next day.

Yale’s first game of the Desert Hockey Classic will be against Arizona State on Jan. 8, after which the winner face the victor of the UConn and Michigan Tech game.

“I never said most of the things I said.”

YOGI BERRA 13-TIME WORLD SERIES CHAMPION.

Men surge to fourth-place finish GOLF FROM PAGE 12 “I have drawn a lot of experience from playing international golf,” Leonard said.

“It is very similar. It has helped me handle the pressure of competing for a great school like Yale. Playing for Yale makes me want to be better.”

California and East Tennessee State, a pair of national powerhouses, battled for first place, with the Golden Bears (+25) finishing just three strokes ahead of the Buccaneers (+28). The No. 1 overall medalist at the tournament was Michigan State’s Mitch Rutledge, who recorded the only total score below par of the tournament at -2. The Inverness is a challenging course overall due to its length and fast greens, but Willis believes that it was a great experience for the team.

The women’s team was unable to mirror the success of the men’s team.

Five players from the women’s golf team competed over the past week, traveling to Nashville, Tennessee for an invitational hosted at Vanderbilt University.

Amid tough competition that included six top-25 teams, the Bulldogs finished the three-day tournament at the bottom

of the standings after shooting round scores of 310, 313 and 327.

The Elis were not competing with a full arsenal of players, however, as only Elisabeth Bernabe ’17, Jennifer Peng ’18, Sabrina Long ’19, Sara Garmezy ’17 and Julie Luo ’19 made the trek to Tennessee.

Peng had the lowest combined score for the Bulldogs, shooting a 77, 75 and 81. She was tied for 76th in the individual rankings. Bernabe cruised for her first two rounds, turning in a pair of 76 rounds, before shooting an 86 on the final day. She finished 83rd in the individual standings, one spot ahead of Long. Overall, the Bulldogs had five of the bottom 11 finishers that completed all three rounds.

“The tournament was not our best showing,” Bernabe said. “When you are competing against these [Southeastern Conference] schools, it’s challenging.

The course was also playing very difficult. It was longer than most courses that we are used to and the greens were really fast, which affected the speed of our putts. But the fact that we were able to play in the tournament and compete against great competition was a good

start to the fall season.”

Alabama and Northwestern duked it out for first, and Alabama was led by the top individual golfer, Lakareber Abe, who shot an extremely impressive -12 over the three days, with all three rounds under 70. Both Alabama and Northwestern finished over 100 strokes above than the Bulldogs.

One bright spot for the team, according to Bernabe, was the team bonding that occurred. Garmezy, who is originally from the Nashville area, was able to give the Bulldogs a tour of “the home of country music,” including backstage passes to the Grand Ole Opry.

“It was definitely a great homecoming,” Garmezy said. “It was kind of like a homecoming [at] The Masters because I grew up watching the Mason Rudolph, and being able to play in it now was exhilarating.”

Although the women do not compete again until Oct. 3, the men tee up on Monday at the Primland Collegiate Invitational.

The Yale women’s golf team opened its season this past weekend, finishing 17th at the Mason Rudolph Invitational.

Yale squares off against Crimson

Yale, Wesleyan to face off BASEBALL FROM PAGE 12 “It will be a special experience,” captain Chris Moates ’16 said. “The opportunity to play the same team Yale Baseball played in its very first game 150 years ago is awesome in itself, but when you add all the festivities of the weekend, like former MLB commissioner and Yalie Fay Vincent LAW ’63 giving a speech and President Salovey throwing out the first pitch, the experience will undoubtedly be a memorable one.”

With scores of alumni flocking back to watch their alma maters compete, Yale head coach John Stuper and Wesleyan head coach Mark Woodworth will each make opening comments beginning around 6:20 p.m. Following the remarks of both men will be words from a pair of guests: Vincent and Wesleyan graduate Jim Dresser.

A former senior vice president at the Boston Consulting Group, Dresser’s roots date back to his great-grandfather, a classics professor who named the original Wesleyan squad, and his grandfather, who captained the 1908 Cardinals.

Vincent, meanwhile, followed in the footsteps of former Yale president and MLB commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti ’60 GRD ’64, serving as commissioner from 1989 to 1992.

Capping off the ceremony, in traditional fashion, will be the first pitch. University President Peter Salovey will deliver the honorary toss ahead of the 7 p.m. start time.

In the team’s first live competition of the new school year, the Elis will be wearing throwback uniforms to recognize the history and significance of the game.

“It is very exciting to reflect on the history of the program, and I think that will be reflected in the throwback uniforms we got,” righty Chris Lanham ’16 said. “I think all the guys are excited to

play with the old school look for a night.”

The two teams last met this past spring, where the Bulldogs continued their domination of the Cardinals. Yale holds a 59–17–2 advantage in the alltime series following a 7–3 win in April.

The Elis will look to channel the energy and hype surrounding the game onto the field in the tuneup before the start of the City Series, where the Bulldogs will face Southern Connecticut State in two weekends.

“The throwback jerseys, pregame ceremony and alumni in attendance are great for celebrating the tradition of both programs,” shortstop Derek Brown ’17 said. “However, as soon as the pitcher steps on the mound to throw the first pitch, we will be focused on winning a baseball game.”

Moates noted that the game will be an opportunity to see how the team stacks up and set the tone for the rest of the fall. He added that the fall brings a fresh start following a disappointing 15–23 season, and that returning players are excited to show their improvements while freshmen will get their first taste of collegiate ball.

The celebration comes as part of a larger alumni gathering, as Yale football hosts its home opener against Cornell.

“It could not be better for the Yale community to celebrate something like this,” infielder Harrison White ’17 said. “Not only does it tie together generations, but it ties together different demographics than lots of other events. This game is meant for everyone, not just sports fans.

It’s a celebration of Yale baseball, yes, but it’s also a celebration of Yale College.”

Elis begin Ivy play with Tigers W. SOCCER FROM PAGE 12 At Yale, the women’s soccer team practices on their home turf field at Reese Stadium.

However, Princeton plays on grass.

According to goalkeeper Rachel Ames ’16, on Tuesday afternoon the Bulldogs traveled to the Hopkins School, a private school not far from Reese, in order to prepare on their grass fields and simulate the conditions that the Elis will face this Saturday on Princeton’s campus.

“We have also been practicing with high intensity and productivity because we all

know how big this game is going to be,” defender Brittany Simpson ’19 said. “And we want to be prepared for it.”

As this is the fifth week of the season, not only does this week of practice matter, but everything that the players did to train up until this point contributes to where they are today.

Currently, the Elis are No. 169 according to the NCAA Women’s Soccer Ratings Percentage Index. Yet, as early as its second game of the season, the Yale women’s team battled against No. 34 Hofstra — a game that the Pride barely won in overtime.

After the loss to Hofstra, the Bulldogs came back and went on a three-game win streak until falling to powerhouse Maryland.

“We have definitely gotten a little better each game, so I’m happy we packed so many challenging non-conference games in the beginning of the season,” said Loring.

The Elis settled their following two games with two ties.

Against Stony Brook this past Sunday, the Elis were up by one goal for the whole game until Stony Brook scored with three minutes left on the clock.

Both teams remained scoreless

for the following two overtime periods.

“One thing that has been tough for us is game management: We play well for 89 minutes and make a momentary mistake in the last minute that allows the other team back in the game.” Conneely said.

“Moving forward to Ivies, we are looking to stay focused for the entire game, which should solve both of those problems.”

The Yale women’s soccer team will be playing away against the Tigers this Saturday at 4 p.m.

FIELD HOCKEY FROM PAGE 12 much closer on shot percentage.

Harvard is shooting at 64 percent, with Yale close behind at 58 percent.

“I think the biggest challenge for us this weekend will be to treat the game like any other so we are not too nervous or overthinking,” back Kiwi Comizio ’18 said. “[That way we will be] playing our best, at the level we know we can and have against other teams.”

Middough also mentioned that the team needs to be focused going into the game, so as to not let the centuries-old rivalry get to the players.

Although Yale won four straight contests from 2009 to 2012, Harvard is currently holding on to a two-win streak over

the Bulldogs.

“Everyone is incredibly excited to play Harvard,” Middough said.

“Our biggest challenge going into this weekend is not psyching ourselves out.”

Back Tess Thompson ’18 added that the team prepared for this weekend by focusing on strengthening the weaknesses from last weekend’s games. However, she said most of the team’s preparation comes from their offseason.

After taking on Harvard on Saturday, the Bulldogs will travel to New York to play Hofstra (5–3, 0–0 Colonial). The team is riding on a three-game winning streak, and will play Quinnipiac on Saturday before hosting Yale.

Women’s soccer kicks off Ivy competition WOMEN’S SOCCER

Field hockey takes on rival Crimson

BY DANIELA BRIGHENTI STAFF REPORTER After coming away with a split last weekend, the Yale women’s field hockey team is preparing for their Ivy opener this Saturday against rival Harvard.

FIELD HOCKEY Harvard (3–2, 0–0 Ivy) is currently riding on a two-game winning streak, having beat both Northeastern and Colgate last weekend. Harvard goalie Issy Davies, however, made only seven saves in her last two games — Yale goalie Emilie Katz ’17, in comparison, made 26. This leaves Harvard with a 0.645 save percentage compared to the 0.810 mark of Yale (2–3, 0–0 Ivy).

“We are all feeling very confident going into Ivy play this weekend,” Carol Middough ’18

said. “We’ve put in the work and we have the capability to win in league play.”

Middough has been a crucial player in Yale’s roster this season. The forward/midfielder has scored five of Yale’s six goals — two of which were game-winners. Her performance has also contributed largely to Yale’s average shots per game, which currently stands at 13.2, up 10 percent from last season’s.

Harvard, however, is currently averaging 16.6 shots per game.

Back Elizabeth Jacobson leads in total points while forward Marissa Balleza leads the Crimson with five total goals, the same as Middough. Balleza as been named an All-Ivy League honoree twice in her college career.

Although Harvard has shot more so far, the two teams are SEE FIELD HOCKEY PAGE 10

The Bulldogs have converted 15 percent of their shots into goals while Princeton has managed just a 12 percent conversion rate.

BY NICOLE WELLS STAFF REPORTER Conference play is finally here, as the Bulldogs will clash against the Princeton Tigers for their first in-league game this Saturday.

At the completion of the 2014 season, the Elis (3–3–2, 0–0–0 Ivy) and the Tigers (5–3–0, 0–0–0 Ivy) tied for third place overall in the Ivy League. In the past, the Bulldogs won their games against Princeton from 2005 to 2007; however, the team lost to the Tigers in 2008. The Bulldogs won again against their Princeton foes in 2009, only to drop down to a loss in 2010. In a matchup between the Elis and the Tigers, the games followed in this pattern. Most recently, last sea-

son, the Bulldogs fell to Princeton in the last six minutes of the game. For 2015, the team is looking to get that win back in its hands this weekend.

“This game sets the tone for the season,” midfielder Eliza Loring ’16 said. “So I think everyone on the team has a perfect combination of nervousness and excitement. People are ready to rise to the challenge, and I’m sure we’ll have an intense week of practice to get everyone in the right mindset.”

Entering the fifth week of competition for Ivy League women’s soccer, Princeton boasts a strong offensive presence with 158 total shots taken in eight games, making the Tigers the first-ranked team in number of shots. Yale ranks fifth in the league with 93 shots taken.

Despite the fact that the Tigers have outshot the Bulldogs, the two teams are competitive with one another in converting those shots into goals. The Elis have tallied up 14 goals while Princeton has scored 19. However, out of the shots the Tigers have taken, 12 percent of them have gotten past the goalkeeper, whereas Yale has put 15 percent of their shots behind opposing goalkeepers.

“Right now, our strengths are finishing scoring goals, working together and having a deep bench,” midfielder Shannon Conneely ’16 said. “Everyone has stepped up when we have needed them to — freshmen especially, and then people off the bench.”

Elis celebrate 150th anniversary

Yale went 15–23 last season, including a 6–14 conference record.

This Saturday, nearly 150 years to the day, the Bulldogs will host in-state counterpart Wesleyan as a tribute to the Sept. 30, 1865 meeting between what was then the Yale Nine and the Wesleyan Agallian Club.

“Baseball is this country’s pastime and there are not very many places that have a longer history of it than Yale,” third baseman Richard Slenker ’17 said. “To be a part of this history is something we as a team respect and appreciate because it is an unbelievable opportunity to wear the Yale jersey.”

To understand the history Slenker is referring to, one only has to take a brief look at some of the highlights that have transpired at Yale Field, the Bulldogs’ home since 1928.

Historic Yale Field, as it is often called, has hosted Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig, both as a Columbia Lion and as a New York Yankee. It served as the home field for former captain, and former president, George H. W. Bush ’48.

And it also served as one of Babe Ruth’s final public appearances, when the Great Bambino presented then-captain Bush with an original manuscript of his autobiography for donation to the University.

As both Yale and Wesleyan celebrate this historic 150th anniversary, the pre-game festivities, which will include a host of individuals with strong ties to both programs, will attempt to capture the grandeur of the moment.

Golf teams see divergent results

BY JACOB MITCHELL STAFF REPORTER While the Yale men’s golf team is off to a strong start this year, the women’s team, which debuted this past weekend, has not fared as well.

GOLF In tournaments over the past week, while the Yale women’s golf team finished last at the Mason Rudolph Women’s Championship, men’s captain Joe Willis ’16 shot a +3 to lead the men to a fourth-place finish at the Inverness Intercollegiate Tournament in Toledo, Ohio. On Tuesday, the final day of the Inverness, Willis found himself competing near the top of the field after shooting 75 and 70 in the first two rounds, the latter score tying for the best in the round. He finished strongly with an even-par 71, earning him fifth-place individual honors at the tournament.

“I had a real outside chance of winning the tournament if I could post a really low score in the final round,” Willis said.

“After I got off to a slow start, I knew that was not really going to happen … I tried to focus on
