Eleven hours later. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton LAW ’73, who is also vying for the presidency, sat in front of the House Benghazi Committee Thursday to answer questions about the 2012 attack in Libya that killed four Americans. Clinton, whose long-awaited hearing was live-streamed on YouTube, emerged largely unscathed. Getting local.

A pedestrian who was hit last week by a New Haven police car is planning to pursue legal action in response to the incident. On Tuesday, La Tanya Autry, a fellow at the Yale University Art Gallery, was crossing Chapel Street at High Street when she noticed a police car coming toward her. Police say the officer was not traveling quickly, but Autry claimed the officer was driving faster than he should have been. “It seemed really aggressive. And then [the police car] just hit me on the side,” Autry said. “I bounced up and got hit on the front, and then I fell on the ground. The driver never came over or asked if I was okay.” Autry said that while she was still on the ground, an EMT told her that Autry did not “want anyone to lose [his or her] job over this.” Now, Autry said, she is preparing to meet with an attorney, partially because witnesses have told her that the officer in question was on his cell phone at the time of SEE ACCIDENT PAGE 4

Gaga, Yale take on emotional intelligence BY JIAHUI HU STAFF REPORTER Hundreds crowded into the Yale School of Management Saturday to listen to Lady Gaga — but they were not there to hear her sing. Instead, Gaga and her mother, Cynthia Germanotta, discussed the importance of emotional intelligence, the ability to identify and respond to one’s feelings. Gaga and Germanotta’s organization, the Born This Way Foundation, partnered with the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence to host the Emotion Revolution. Around 200 high-school and college students attended the conference, which was the culmination of an almost two-year joint project between BTWF and the Center. Together, the two organizations surveyed 22,000 high school students about their emotional SEE GAGA PAGE 6

.COMMENT “Yale students should be paid to call alumni donors only to thank them yaledailynews.com/opinion

S

ex does not exist within a vacuum in our culture. Sex often reinforces power structures, shames outgroups and regulates lives. But it is also a medium through which humans come to understand themselves, challenge power structures, celebrate their individuality, affirm personal agency and connect with others. Sex has implications that reverberate beyond the realms of the bedroom. We as a campus must discuss and contextualize the cultural politics underlying, influencing and forging sex and sexuality. To this end, the Sex & Sexuality Week team seeks to widen the dialogue to touch on gender identity, faith, race and structural biases in our society, among other topics that are tangibly in conversation with sex and sexuality in our lives. Sex & Sexuality Week seeks to create spaces for conversations predicated on a few basic premises. It respects that people make different choices around sex and sexuality, and sees this diversity as a strength. Sex & Sexuality Week respects the many different kinds of bonds — friendships, hookups, friendships with benefits, polyamorous relationships and long-term relationships — that students form with each other. Sex & Sexuality Week is an unapologetically feminist endeavor.

OUR TEAM SEEKS TO WIDEN THE DIALOGUE TO TOUCH ON GENDER IDENTITY, FAITH, RACE AND STRUCTURAL BIASES IN OUR SOCIETY We are proud that student groups drive Sex & Sexuality Week’s programming. Campus organizations — publications, social groups, performance groups and advocacy groups — consider sex, sexuality and their intersections on a regular basis. Their ongoing dialogues make Sex & Sexuality Week possible, and we are grateful that these organizations have contributed their time and insights to our program. We students know ourselves best,

and our team is proud to feature events that students have creatively and thoughtfully constructed, such as a sex ed workshop for queer womyn; a community art project exploring Asian American desire and desirability; a discussion on how faith, sex and sexuality interact; and "zines" about consent, pleasure and reproductive health.

WE SEE SEX & SEXUALITY WEEK AS A STARTING POINT FOR MANY ONGOING CONVERSATIONS Nor will our conversations be limited to Yale. Emani Love, an outreach worker at Detroit’s Ruth Ellis Center, will give a talk about the sexual politics of transgender women navigating survival sex work, racism and the war on drugs in Detroit. A screening of the documentary “Treasure” in which she appears will accompany her talk. Christine Barksdale, the owner of Sustainable Passion, a sex-positive and women-centric sex toy shop, will explore issues in and around sex, sustainability and pleasure. Given that much of the sex toy industry is left to self-regulation, Barksdale’s company is important for moving towards products that are safe for the body and the environment. We hope that different students will find different events to enjoy throughout Sex & Sexuality Week. Most of our events will be dialogues; the people who attend will determine the course of the conversation. Of course, a one-week program cannot be comprehensive. Even a yearlong series could not capture the many ways that students approach sex and sexuality. We see Sex & Sexuality Week as a starting point for many ongoing conversations about what we — as individuals and as a community — want. We hope that Sex & Sexuality Week can be a useful step as our campus reflects on our values of mutual respect, health and safety and open dialogue.

Rethinking requirements

hat are distributional requirements getting at? Every Yalie must take two courses in the sciences, two in the humanities and arts and two in the social sciences. She must also take two semesters of quantitative reasoning, two of writing courses and up to three of a foreign language. The Blue Book states that the undergraduate curriculum “regards college as a phase of exploration … [ensuring] that study is neither too narrowly focused nor too diffuse.” If this is truly the goal, the University has chosen not the best route. Yale’s distributional requirements make what should be the serious business of liberal education into a vexing chore, with “easy” classes substituting for a knowledge of a discipline. The University should either examine students in the areas it requires they study, institute a core curriculum or scotch distributional requirements altogether. The main problem with distributional requirements is that students can fulfill them without actually learning much. Anyone who’s spent five minutes talking to upperclassmen knows what the easy science, humanities, quantitative reasoning and social science classes are. You can go through one of these history classes without getting real

feedback on essay structure or writing style. You can go through a science class without perCOLE forming an e x p e r i m e n t ARONSON or reaching a concluNecessary sion from eviand proper dence. And you can get credit for a math class that most intelligent high school sophomores could ace. Students know gut classes are a racket. Worse, they’re a waste of time for students. At best, they provide fodder for cocktail party conversation. “Look here, old sport, I’ll tell you, this Darwin fellow had quite an idea about finches.” But a true education in a discipline? No, the mere appearance of the thing, and not even in reality, but on a transcript. There’s an argument in favor of distributional requirements that concedes their inefficacy at providing true breadth to an education. Instead, they provide exposure. Poets have to give gravity a try, and the future CEO of TwitterFace has at least to skim through Macbeth. But is

a gut class really the best way to expose someone to a great tradition of learning? If what Yale wants is to ensure no one graduates without an appreciation for Keats or catalysis or Karl Marx, it could mandate that students in the sciences take specific humanities classes (or read certain texts) and vice versa. It could then test students, to ensure they are proficient in rather than merely acquainted with the multiple traditions outside their major. On that note: does it make any sense to require students to take a language of which they may not know enough to use? Doctoral programs in the humanities often require proficiency in one or more language, and they test proficiency with exams. Is the current system of “do it, but not well” in anyone’s interest? Yale’s system forces students to take classes unrelated to their majors taught at a low level. It defines liberal education down. Besides University-wide examinations in subjects currently required through token classes, there are three alternatives to Yale’s current system: the Columbia option, the Oxford option and the Brown option. At Columbia, students take full-year courses in western literature and political thought, and a semester of writing, of art

history, of music theory and of “frontiers of science.” At Oxford, students take many fewer classes outside their majors than most students at Yale, graduating in three years with Bachelor’s degrees earned under much more stringent requirements than those earned at Yale. At Brown, students have virtually unlimited freedom — they need only demonstrate “competence” in writing. Yale’s current goal of providing broad exposure to students specializing in a subject is honorable. But its “everything of something and something of everything” approach can leave students with only one or neither. Yale has three routes: it can get serious about liberal education, requiring fluency in a language, making humanities majors much more strenuous or instituting a core. It can decide its students are better off specialists. Or it can leave its students with the awesome task of directing their own learning. But if it does, it should be honest about it, ridding students and professors of these purely nominal requirements. COLE ARONSON is a sophomore in Calhoun College. His column runs on Mondays.

COPYRIGHT 2015 — VOL. CXXXVIII, NO. 35

Remember Maurice Richardson L

ess than a mile from my residential college, Maurice Richardson, 19, was shot and killed. On campus, his death was reported quite literally as a number: the 13th murder in what has already been a long year for New Haven law enforcement. At a time when hundreds of students will file into an auditorium to hear an activist remind them about the many threats to black life, it’s a tragedy that a death so close to our campus is so far from our consciousness. The event in question, featuring DeRay McKesson at the Af-Am House, shows how much we as a campus value racial equality. But we shouldn’t consider our efforts to be a zero-sum game. We must not allow those all too common cases that do not involve police brutality to go unnoticed and unremembered. We cannot fall victim to the “simultaneous invisibility and hyper-visibility” of black life, as Dean Jonathan Holloway described in his intro-

duction to “The Souls of Black Folk.” I want to write a little about who Maurice was, both to better serve his memory and to empower this community not to take the “Yale Bubble” as an excuse for apathy. We should feel this loss acutely.

WE SHOULD FEEL THIS LOSS ACUTELY Maurice’s brother Nathan was also shot in the Hill neighborhood three and a half years ago. Nathan was 29 years old. In quick retaliation, Nathan and Maurice’s cousin Trelaine Shaw shot the assailant Robert Cirino, fatally wounding him. At a sentencing hearing for Shaw, a family member asked, “When does it end?” Fear and frustration come as the inevitable

consequences of such a senseless string of losses. While we should push for reform in policing and criminal justice where necessary, we cannot treat a life lost to urban gun violence as a casual occurrence, easily forgotten amidst the world-weariness of this town. At least once a week, I run past the School of Medicine, along Davenport Avenue to Ella T. Grasso, making a long loop along the West River towards the grid of downtown. This path takes me past the parking lot at 210 Davenport, where Maurice died. Near 210 there is a little convenience store, where I stopped in to ask about the incident. Alternating between English and Spanish, the workers behind the counter seemed unfazed by the incident. Kids were playing near the parking lot, just outside a compact apartment building, in front of a bus stop. As more comes to light about Maurice, I encourage the News to make this story a priority. The

problem is that so little information exists about those who fall victim to gun violence. It’s a gap that college newspapers, better equipped in certain ways to cover these events, can fill. And few college papers can match the resources of the News. Or, the students whose passion brought McKesson to the podium could band together to create a community archive, better, at least, than the one that can be found on the New Haven Register’s Homicides Report blog. I don’t plan to change my route because of Maurice’s passing. Perhaps this makes me naïve. But I’d prefer to think of myself as hopeful: hopeful that our work in the community, whether we silently play witness or charge forward with activism, will make death on Davenport Avenue less likely.

Yale to retain Van Gogh masterpiece BY DAVID SHIMER STAFF REPORTER A six-year legal battle over Vincent Van Gogh’s “The Night Café” — a painting valued at $200 million — has likely reached its conclusion: Yale will retain the masterpiece. Last week, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit rejected Pierre Konowaloff’s appeal of a March 2014 summary judgment issued by the U.S. District Court for Connecticut. Konowaloff had originally sought the painting as well as $75,000 in damages from the University, claiming he is the rightful owner of The Night Café. Konowaloff’s assertion stems from the Russian Revolution of 1918, during which the Bolsheviks seized the painting from his great-grandfather. The painting was transported to the United States and found its way to Yale through art collector Stephen Clark, class of 1903, who had acquired The Night Café, as well as a Paul Cezanne masterpiece in 1933. Upon his death in 1960, Clark bequeathed the former to Yale and the latter to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Konowaloff claims the Bolsheviks unlawfully took the two paintings from his great-grandfather, making him the rightful owner of both masterpieces. Konowaloff subsequently filed lawsuits against the University and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in an effort to retrieve the paintings. The U.S. Court of Appeals ruled against Konowaloff in his case against the Met in 2012, and Yale Vice President and General Counsel Alexander Dreier said a single legal doctrine proved instrumental in foiling both cases. “Yale prevailed both in the trial court and on appeal because it relied on a well-established doctrine, under which U.S. courts decline to examine the validity of acts undertaken by foreign governments within their own territory,” Dreier said. “We were also able to rely on the application of this doctrine in a virtually identical case that Mr. Konowaloff brought against the Metropolitan Museum of Art.” Currently on display in the YUAG’s European Art wing, The Night Café arrived at the gallery in 1961. It depicts the interior of a nearly empty café with just five patrons seated at tables

along the walls. University President Peter Salovey said paintings like The Night Café are of tremendous value to students, researchers and the general public. “Yale’s collections are of immense value for both research and teaching,” Salovey said. “Like other museums, our galleries and museums showcase important works like The Night Café for the public to enjoy and appreciate. But we also make all of the objects we own available to our own faculty and students, as well as to researchers around the world.”

Yale’s collections are of immense value for both research and teaching.

New Haven Reads bee spells success BY MICHELLE LIU STAFF REPORTER Dressed in beekeeper’s suits, Elizabethan outfits and gorilla masks, competitors in New Haven Reads’ fourth annual spelling bee breezed through spelling “anticipate,” “chihuahua” and “anencephalic” Friday evening. Education outreach initiative Higher One CARES sponsored the bee, which is held as a yearly fundraiser for New Haven Reads, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving literacy in New Haven through tutoring services and book banks. This year a record high of 46 teams, including participants of a range of ages, filled the auditorium at the Yale School of Management’s Evans Hall, according to New Haven Reads assistant director Fiona Bradford. Teams paid a registration fee to participate, and audience members and other community organizations also donated to the event, which met its $30,000 fundraising goal. “We started [the bee] because we’re a literacy organization, and our mission is to share the joy and power of

reading,” Bradford said. “We wanted to do a fundraiser but we wanted something that was connected to our mission — yet this isn’t your sort of standard spelling bee.” Instead of competing by individually spelling words in front of a microphone, competitors formed teams of three. These teams participated in rounds, or “swarms.” Each team collaborated to spell words on a whiteboard, which they then presented to judges. After spelling a word incorrectly, teams were eliminated. The last team standing in each swarm entered the final round. At the end of the tournament, the “Spelltaculars” — a team sponsored by law firm Wiggin and Dana — cinched the win by correctly spelling “numismatic.” Seven of the teams represented local high schools, including the Foote School, Hill Regional Career High School and Wilbur Cross High School. The “Spellurz,” the winning high school team from Hopkins School, received a trophy. The judges included a slate of community leaders, including general manager of community radio station AM 1220 WQUN

Ray Andrewsen and New Haven Reads tutor Stacy Spell. The third judge, state Sen. Gary Winfield, also announced door prize winners. New Haven Reads executive director Kirsten Levinsohn told the crowd that Connecticut has the highest educationachievement gap in the country. She added that only 30 percent of the city’s third-graders are reading at grade level. “That’s a problem,” Levinsohn said. “New Haven Reads has a solution: our program works.” 400 people tutor children through the organization each week, but more volunteers are still needed, Levinsohn said. She added that each week, New Haven Reads tutors serve over 500 students of all ages. The literacy programs funded by the bee’s proceeds include one-on-one tutoring sessions, as well as a community book bank that provides local schoolchildren and teachers with free books, Bradford said. Team sponsors included local nonprofits and businesses like Connecticut Voices for Children and the Study at Yale, as well as University-affiliated

organizations such as YaleNew Haven Hospital and the Office of New Haven and State Affairs. The University’s support of New Haven Reads extends beyond spelling bee sponsorship — Yale also provides the nonprofit with office space on Bristol Street and in Science Park, Bradford said. New Haven Reads uses the Dixwell-Yale Community Learning Center for their tutoring sessions, she added. New Haven Reads tutor Greg Berg, a member of the “Beeguilers” team, said that competition in the bee has become increasingly more difficult over the years. The Beeguilers is the only team to have participated in the bee every year since its inaugural competition, according to Berg. “Our goal the first year was to beat [former Yale College Dean] Mary Miller,” said Risa Sodi, director of academic advising for Yale College and Beeguilers member. “Which we did.” New Haven Reads was founded in 2001. Contact MICHELLE LIU at michelle.liu@yale.edu .

PETER SALOVEY University President Yale first filed a lawsuit against Konowaloff in 2009 after receiving a letter from his wife the previous year stating that he was the painting’s rightful owner. Then Konowaloff filed a response and counterclaim. In a 2010 motion requesting a summary judgment, the University argued, among other things, that Konowaloff’s claims were beyond the statute of limitations and that a nation seizing property from citizens living domestically does not constitute a violation of international law. Going forward, Konowaloff’s lawyer Allan Gerson LAW ’76 — who did not return requests for comment — could appeal once again, this time to the Supreme Court. But if such an appeal were made, Dreier said he does not expect the Court to review it. “Mr. Konowaloff did ask the Supreme Court to review the ruling in his lawsuit against the Met, but the Court refused to hear the case,” Dreier said. “I don’t know whether he will try again, but given that the two cases were decided on the basis of identical and very solid law, it seems very unlikely that the Supreme Court would agree to any further review.” Van Gogh painted The Night Café in 1888.

Mair became a Sierra Club member in 1999 after leading a decade-long battle to shut down a polluting solid waste incinerator in an inner-city community in Albany, N.Y. His efforts ultimately led to a commitment by the state to shut down the facility and a $1.6 million settlement award to that community. Mair was also a key figure in securing the Sierra Club’s participation in the Clean Up the Hudson campaign, which resulted in a settlement between the U.S. EPA and General Electric to dredge toxic PCB sediments from the Upper Hudson River. He has held more than three-dozen leadership positions within the Sierra Club’s Hudson Mohawk Group and Atlantic Chapter.

La Tanya Autry, a fellow at the YUAG, was hit by a New Haven police officer last week. ACCIDENT FROM PAGE 1 the collision. The name of the police officer in question has not been released to the public. In a press release from the New Haven Police Department, spokesman David Hartman defended the officer, noting that a review of surveillance video indicates that Autry was outside the available crosswalk when the collision occurred. Further, Hartman wrote, the officer had a green signal and the right of way. As a result, Hartman said Autry “has been found at fault for unsafe use of a highway by a pedestrian.” However, Autry said she recalls being in the crosswalk on Chapel Street when she began to cross. As she reached the midpoint of the street, she said, the car began to move toward her. At first, she thought the officer simply wanted her to walk faster — but the vehicle never slowed down, she said. According to the press release, the officer was not responding to an incident and did not have his siren or emergency lights on. Still, Autry plans to pursue legal action, in part because she believes the officer was on his cell phone when his car struck her. But Yale Police Sergeant Sabrina Woods said a Connecticut statute allows for police officers to be on their cell phones in certain circumstances. “It is legal for law enforcement to use their cell phones while driving as long as they are working in their capacity,” she said. “So as long as they are on the phone for something workrelated, it is legal.” According to Autry, when she spoke with police officers the next day, they said the department would investigate why the officer was on his cell phone and give him a verbal warning for fail-

ing to demonstrate due diligence in not hitting pedestrians. It is unclear, though, whether there is an ongoing internal investigation surrounding the incident, as well as who within the police department reviewed the surveillance video. Hartman could not be reached for further comment regarding the incident. “[The officer] probably didn’t mean to hit me,” Autry said. “He just wasn’t paying attention because he was on the phone.” Autry was taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital in an ambulance soon after the accident. She said she sustained multiple contusions on her body, from her shoulders to her legs, as well as a sprained ankle. Hartman said in the press release that the leg and arm injuries Autry sustained were not life-threatening. Autry’s medical bills will be covered by her health insurance, she said. Christopher Bowman ’18, who witnessed the aftermath of the incident, said Autry remained on the ground for approximately 10 minutes in front of the stationary police car, which was positioned well beyond the crosswalk. Amanda Bosland ’19, who observed the incident from outside of the Yale University Art Gallery, said paramedics arrived within five minutes of the incident. She added that the scene grew chaotic almost immediately. “She was screaming and people were running over,” Bosland said. The police officer driving the vehicle was not injured, and the car did not sustain any significant damage, according to Hartman’s release.

But the document has a potential impact on students as well — Ashoka may host a Yale summer session course, and the universities are working to give both former and current Yale students new opportunities to study and teach there. Salovey said this expansion in collaboration fits his vision for increased engagement both in India and the world. “Yale’s faculty have been involved with Ashoka from its start and the cooperation represents the kind of global engagement that I want to foster — faculty-initiated and faculty-directed activities that benefit students and contribute to the research, teaching and service missions of Yale,” Salovey said. “Over the last decade, Yale has been deliberately expanding its engagement with India through the Yale India Initiative and this cooperation with Ashoka fits into the goals of the initiative to expand Yale’s ties with India.” According to the website for the Yale India Initiative, the program promotes the study and teaching of India and South Asia.

George Joseph, deputy director of the MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies, said the MoU could lead to expanded studyabroad options and establish teaching assistant positions for Yale graduates at Ashoka. Joseph added that just as Yale faculty members have formed partnerships with hundreds of universities on their own initiative, such as teaching Yale Summer Session courses at the University of Tokyo, they have formed links with Ashoka as well. Steven Wilkinson, professor of India and South Asian Studies, is among the Yale faculty members who has a relationship with Ashoka. He said the MoU will allow for faculty and students to connect with Ashoka when advantageous, but there is no evidence that a significant amount of Yale resources or a larger Yale plan is behind the agreement. Because of his focus on Indian politics, Wilkinson is most interested in collaborating with Ashoka on political science research, especially public opinion polling, he said. “Yale has some great survey researchers, and many of our students are interested in

projects that might use polls on contemporary Indian society and politics,” Wilkinson said. “But we lack onthe-ground collaborators and capacity. So by cooperating we can potentially create opportunities for our graduate students to go there, get research affiliations and cooperate on creating better social science research that also helps them in their own careers.” Yale Corporation member Charles Goodyear IV ’80 said increased collaboration between Yale and Ashoka would benefit Yale as well as its students, helping the former globalize and presenting the latter with newfound experiences and opportunities. Because the standard model for higher education in India tends toward the pre-professional, Joseph said, Ashoka is unique in its focus on the liberal arts. As a result, the founders of Ashoka see Yale as a model for the development of Ashoka, he said. Salovey said while in India, he has frequently encountered a desire for increased opportunities in the liberal arts. “During my discussions in India, again and again, Indian leaders told me that there is a

vital need for liberal arts education in India,” Salovey said. “I was impressed by the seriousness of purpose that Ashoka’s founders and faculty have demonstrated.” Ashoka anthropology professor Durba Chattaraj said she hopes Yale and Ashoka will be able to enrich one another’s anthropology and sociology departments through faculty and student exchanges, as well as research collaboration. Kai Qin Cha, a psychology professor at Ashoka, said the MoU has increased morale at Ashoka and hopefully will lead Yale and Ashoka to take advantage of the other’s resources and expertise. Going forward, he said he hopes this expansion in collaboration inspires other Indian universities. “I hope this collaboration will make Ashoka a model for other Indian universities to follow — to focus on excellence, to build partnerships across the globe, to advance knowledge,” he said. Three hundred and fifty students, including 130 undergraduates and 200 postgraduates attend Ashoka, which was inaugurated in January 2015. Contact DAVID SHIMER at david.shimer@yale.edu .

“I have ways of making money that you know nothing of.” JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER AMERICAN BUSINESSMAN

Entrepreneurship groups focus on social engagement BY JIAHUI HU AND JOEY YE STAFF REPORTERS Yale’s entrepreneurs are increasingly seeking to do good while turning a profit. In recent years, social entrepreneurship — which encompasses ventures hoping to solve social problems through business models — has become a defining feature of Yale’s entrepreneurial scene. Because of growing student interest in the field, groups like the Yale Entrepreneurial Institute and the Yale Entrepreneurial Society have begun offering more resources and guidance in social entrepreneurship, such as fellowships, professional mentoring and conferences and competitions. On Nov. 7–8, YES, an undergraduate student group, will host a panel at the Ignite conference at Columbia University for the first time to teach students from universities across the country about Yale’s successes in social entrepreneurship. Similarly, beginning this academic year, YEI — a University department that provides workshops and funding to budding entrepreneurs — is guaranteeing at least three of its fellowship spots to socially-minded ventures. YEI Communications Officer Brita Belli said YEI consciously decided to invest more in social entrepreneurship after recognizing the broad scope of student and faculty interest alike. “Yale students are really interested in the big impacts of ventures and they are not motivated simply by making a lot of money,” she said. “We have said a lot internally that we are interested in ventures that make an impact first and foremost.” The YEI now guarantees fellowship opportunities for winners of InnovateHealth Yale’s Thorne Prize and the Center for Business and the Environment at

Yale’s Sabin Prize, as well as the winner of the new Yale College Dean’s Challenge on Social Innovation. All three competitions are intended to reward promising business ideas that solve significant global challenges. YEI Fellows attend a 10-week summer program, receive up to $15,000 in funding and gain access to YEI office space and business networks. YES Chief Operating Officer Christie Ramsaran ’17 said part of the reason social entrepreneurship is growing in popularity is that students really care about why they are doing things and the product of their education. They think not just about making money, but also how to contribute to the world, she said. In recent years, Yale students and faculty have launched social entrepreneurship ventures hoping to tackle issues ranging from child literacy to gender equity in the sciences. StoryTime — the winner of the Thorne Prize in April 2015 — was founded by Phil Esterman ’17, Henok Addis ’17 and Jillian Kravatz ’17 and sends stories via text message to parents in low-income families to improve literacy rates among children from poorer backgrounds. Lab Candy, founded by 2014 YEI Fellow Olivia PavcoGiaccia ’16, aims to inspire more young girls to pursue science-related careers by creating and selling colorful, patterned lab gear. Khushi Baby, a company that creates necklaces for infants that contain the child’s complete medical and vaccination history, won the Thorne Prize in 2014. Fred Kim ’18, YES co-director of conferences and competitions, said StoryTime, Lab Candy and Khushi Baby are similar to the kind of ventures YES members commonly propose. He added that social entrepre-

neurship projects seem to happen more frequently than other types of entrepreneurship projects at Yale. “The kinds of ventures we see depends on the kinds of students at Yale and what they’re interested in,” Ramsaran said. “Social entrepreneurship pops up a lot because that’s what Yalies care about.” YEI Fellow Jesse Rich SOM ’16 said many believe Yale’s focus on

a liberal arts education may be a reason for this trend. Students, he said, are taught to see themselves as part of the larger society and understand their duties to the community. Rich added that Yale’s focus on social entrepreneurship distinguishes it from other universities with perhaps more established entrepreneurial scenes, like MIT, where students often focus on new technology and

gadgets. This year for Columbia’s Ignite conference, groups from participating universities — which include Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business — are tasked with hosting an event specific to the field of entrepreneurship representative of their school. YES chose social entrepreneurship. “We chose social entrepre-

FROM THE FRONT Law enforcement heads gather in D.C. ESSERMAN FROM PAGE 1 $1 million to fight recidivism, with some of that funding allocated to reducing recidivism for juvenile offenders. “There are many who deserve an alternative to prison,” Esserman said. “We need to come up with accountability and punishment, but accountability and punishment doesn’t always mean prison. Prison needs to be reserved for the most violent among us.” Esserman said he is proud to represent New Haven, particularly after Mayor Toni Harp’s December visit to Washington D.C. to represent the Elm City at the U.S. Conference of Mayors. At that event, President Barack Obama lauded Harp and the city for connecting young people with supportive services such as My Brother’s Keeper, a mentoring program for disadvantaged youths that Obama launched. Esserman said that after serving as a prosecutor and then as police chief for over 20 years, he realizes he has “put too many children in jail.” He added that through his role as chair of the Juvenile Justice and Child Protection Committee for the International Association of Chiefs of Police, he has spoken with Attorney General Loretta Lynch about continuing the conversation about the criminalization of children. “I think the punishment doesn’t just have to fit the crime, it has to fit the individual,” Esserman said. Children’s brains take years to develop, Esserman said, citing research and outreach

work conducted by the Child Development-Community Policing Program — an alliance between the Yale Child Study Center and the New Haven Police Department formed in 1991 — as essential to his understanding of juvenile justice. The Child DevelopmentCommunity Policing Program facilitates coordination between law enforcement and mental health specialists to effectively support children and families who have been exposed to violence. “Children who have grown up in environments … rather than being harbors of safety and developmentally enhancing stimulation are in fact exposed to toxic stimulation in the form of what is objectively chaotic circumstances and at times horrifying circumstances,” Steven Marans, the director of the National Center for Children Exposed to Violence and founder of the Child Development-Community Policing Program, said. Like Esserman, Marans said that simply punishing criminal behavior is not enough. Rather, it is important to understand where individuals come from, how they are doing emotionally and the nature of their family history, he said. Marans added that criminal activity is generally viewed as having a singular source and singular solution. “Not all violent behavior is the same,” Marans said. “The outcome may be … but the individuals who are engaged in these activities need to be thought about and understood in a more detailed way than often occurs in many

places across this country.” The state’s Office of Policy and Management and the University of New Haven’s Tow Youth Justice Institute were awarded $190,000 of the $2.3 million in total funding that Connecticut received from the federal Department of Justice. The funds are expected to improve outcomes for juveniles under community supervision. Increasing alternatives to arrest is one of the four priority issues on which the Law Enforcement Leaders to Reduce Crime and Incarceration are focusing. The remaining three are restoring balance to criminal laws, reforming mandatory minimum sentences where necessary and strengthening community and law enforcement relations. Nicole Fortier, the counsel in the Justice Program at the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law, who serves as the senior coordinator for the Law Enforcement Leaders, explained that the group is responding to a national call for change in the criminal justice system. “What this group is doing is coming together and saying that as law enforcement they know for a fact that [current] policies need not be there to keep crime down,” said Fortier. “They know that you can reduce crime while reducing incarceration.” Fortier cited the statistic that though the United States makes up 5 percent of the global population, it is home to 25 percent of the global prison population. Further, she noted that these incar-

ceration rates are a significant expense for the country. It costs $80 billion a year to run both prisons and jails, excluding the cost of law enforcement and courts, she said. The Law Enforcement Leaders’ focus on violent crime as opposed to petty crime aims to protect the communities while avoiding unnecessary mass incarceration, she added. Esserman, Marans and Fortier all said attempts to simply punish negative behavior out of society have proven unsuccessful. The Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act, which enhances mandatory minimums for certain crimes while establishing recidivism programs and limits on solitary confinement for juveniles, enjoyed bipartisan support. The act includes elements of February’s proposed Smarter Sentencing Act, which aims to reduce mandatory-minimum sentencing for controlled substance offenses. Richard Davidson, Rhode Island Press Secretary for Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, explained that Thursday’s bill is more comprehensive. “These policies will better equip inmates to pursue productive, crime-free lives after prison — helping to reduce prison populations, cut costs and make communities safer,” Whitehouse, a Senate Judiciary Committee member, said in a press release Thursday. The Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act passed in committee by a vote of 15–5. Contact SARA SEYMOUR at sara.seymour@yale.edu .

Lady Gaga speaks at SOM GAGA FROM PAGE 1 well-being. At the conference, Marc Brackett, the center’s director and a BTWF board member, announced the survey results, which revealed, among other findings, that high-school students surveyed felt bored 70 percent of the time and stressed 80 percent of the time. Conference attendees gathered the rest of the day to discuss how educators, academics and policy makers can improve students’ mental well-being. “When I was 15 years old, I told my mom I was sad and needed therapy, but she told me I was just a teenager,” Gaga said. “Today is the antithesis of that. Today we are asking you guys to be mindful of your emotions and to reveal them.” Gaga said BTWF chose to partner with Yale because of Brackett’s expertise in emotional intelligence. Through the partnership, BTWF leaders hoped to jointly conduct research on the mental well-being of today’s youth, Gaga said. The partnership’s research gives greater value to input from adolescents than previous studies have done, Gaga said. By partnering with Brackett, BTWF also sought to make emotional intelligence accessible to an audience beyond academics, Gaga said. Citing the often-spoken phrase “suck it up,” Gaga said cultural norms today are not in line with emotional intelligence theories because they undervalue compassionate responses to emotions. To change public attitudes, the Center and BTWF raise awareness of the need for emotional intelligence through social media and by hosting conferences such as the Emotion Revolution, Gaga said. BTWF has also connected around 150,000 youth with mental health services in their communities, according to an Emotion Revolution press release . “Being at Yale is very eyeopening for us as an organization that is constantly trying to tell people why it is important to pay attention to emotional intelligence,” Gaga said. “We are in a place where it is a reality. Today we want to explode that conversation to all over the world so it becomes not a fringe, niche issue anymore.” Brackett has been conducting research on emotional intelligence at Yale since he arrived in 2003 to work under psychology professor and current University President Peter Salovey. Thirteen years prior to Brackett’s arrival, Salovey and his colleague John Mayer defined the term emotional intelligence in a 1990 paper. The idea, however, did not rise in popularity until 1995 when journalist and psychologist Daniel Goleman published a book about the subject, Salovey said. He added that his 1990 paper “Emotional Intelligence” has become one of his most cited. Research, Brackett said, has shown that emotional intelligence has a profound impact on

MARC BRACKETT Director, Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence The Center applies the results of its research to classrooms through the RULER program, which trains teachers and uses classroom tools to teach emotional intelligence, said Miriam Schroers, the Center’s director of communications. Schroers added that data show RULER improves such education quality benchmarks as academic performance and teacher attrition. RULER is now in several hundreds of schools, including the entire public school district in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Several students interviewed said they attended the event because they saw the connection between emotional intelligence and mental health. Nora Smith, a student from Pennsylvania, said the dominance of negative feelings in the classroom could only exacerbate a student’s mental health challenges. Zachary Bozich of Cleveland and Gabrielle Frost, two other conference attendees, echoed Smith’s thoughts. “Stress, unacceptance and loneliness all can lead to suicide and depression,” Bozich said. As a part of BTWF’s mission to change cultural norms, the foundation also launched the hashtag “#IAmNotJust,” which encourages people to identify and begin talking about their emotions, Gaga said. She announced in the late afternoon that the hashtag, which was launched in the morning, had been viewed online five million times. In the future, the foundation will continue working with the center by conducting and publishing academic work shedding light on adolescents’ well-being, Gaga said. Brackett said that the difference between positive stress and negative stress could be a topic for additional inquiry. Salovey and Mayer’s 1990 article has been cited over 8,300 times.

an individual’s quality of life, as the ability to successfully identify and react positively to one’s emotions improves attention, memory, learning and decisionmaking. Brackett added that people educated on emotional intelligence are also able to constructively deal with rejection. “I can’t promise that bringing emotional intelligence into the school is going to change everything,” Brackett said. “But I do hope that the conversation today is about how we can make a difference and close that gap [between the prevalence of positive and negative feelings].”

Law School raises $291 million

Disability office sees increase in students

BY ANDREW DUEHREN Harvard Law School raised $241 million of its $305 million goal during the quiet phase of its capital campaign, which launched with fanfare on Friday evening. James Attwood, one of the co-chairs of the campaign, announced the total Friday during the fundraising drive’s public launch, a daylong series of events featuring university President Drew Faust and Jeffrey Toobin, a New Yorker writer, CNN analyst and former Crimson sports editor. Also announced at the launch event was the school’s decision to rename the Berkman Center for Internet and Society to the Berkman-Klein Center in honor of a $15 million gift from alumnus Michael Klein, the chairman of the Sunlight Foundation. Titled the “Campaign for the Third Century,� the fundraising effort will focus on clinical education and financial aid for students. The Law School recently finished a capital campaign in 2008, when it raised $476 million, surpassing its $400 million goal. Because of the proximity to its last fundraising drive, the Law School is the last of Harvard’s schools to launch its part of the university-wide Harvard Campaign, which kicked off publicly in 2013 and seeks to raise $6.5 billion. In addition to a later launch, the Law School set a lower fundraising goal than its last campaign. The Law School also started reaching out to a broader set of donors during the “quiet phase� of the campaign, breaking from the traditional fundrais-

ing strategy of courting the wealthiest donors b e f o r e the public launch, according HARVARD to Steven Oliveira, the Law School’s dean of development and alumni affairs. Attwood recognized the early success in his remarks. “For those of you who have been involved in campaigns in the past, you don’t usually start with 80 percent in the bag,� he said. On display at the gala event was another aspect of the Law School’s fundraising strategy: distancing itself from the image of its hyper-competitive past. One of the speakers during the night was John Jay Osborn, the author of “The Paper Chase,� a novel-turned-film that follows several Harvard Law School students as they navigate the oftentimes hostile first year of law school. Osborn discussed just how different the Law School is now from when he was a student. In her remarks, Faust discussed the history of the Law School, whose bicentennial will be in 2017. “We need the Law School and the extraordinary leaders it creates. We need the clarity that it brings to confusing and divisive times. We need its capacity to civilize and we need lawyers wise in their calling,� she said. The Law School’s campaign will close in 2018 — when Harvard’s university-wide drive is expected to conclude — making its public phase two years shorter than the Harvard Campaign.

BY GIULIA OLSSON AND ABBY WHITE An estimated 500 students were registered with Columbia’s Office of Disability Services 11 years ago. Today, that number has grown to over 1,500. This significant increase in the number of registered students follows an expansion of services provided by the Office, which helps disabled Columbia students navigate college life, all of which have happened during Director Colleen Lewis’ decade-long leadership of the Office. During Lewis’ time at Columbia, ODS has added learning specialists, assistive technologies, career development services, and Commencement Week accommodations. Any student registered with

the service can w o r k with the o f f i c e ’s full-time learning COLUMBIA s p e c i a l ist or two part-time specialists to work on study strategies and developing academic skills. To register with ODS, students must provide proof of their disability. Registering comes at no cost at all, but it can takes an average of three weeks to be processed. There are now also specialists in the office who help train registered students about how to use assistive technologies, such as wheelchairs and hearing aids. Lewis has also overseen efforts to help disabled students fully participate in the college

experience — even when they are not on Columbia’s Morningside Heights campus. “If students have an outside-the-classroom component to their course, we’ll look at, ‘Can we provide accommodation for that?’� Lewis said. “Students in an Art Hum course, they might need to go to a museum to do a paper. They may need assistance in transportation there.� Through a close partnership with Lime Connect — a nonprofit that focuses on providing career support for individuals with disabilities — since 2007, ODS also provides assistance to registered students applying for jobs at Google, IBM and Target, among other big companies. The Lime Connect partnership has also enabled ODS to host panels on the challenges

Lewis said ODS also places special emphasis on preparing students for study abroad programs and graduate school admissions examinations like the MCAT or LSAT. ODS also provides services to students’ family members. The office is particularly busy during Commencement Week as they work to provide accommodations for disabled visitors. “People aren’t anticipating how much walking there’ll be when they come to campus, so we give a lot of families wheelchairs for the day or for the week when they’re here,� Lewis said. “A lot of people need supportive equipment. They have walkers, they have canes, they have other wheelchairs and we have a check for those.� Beyond help with transporting visitors with limited mobility, ODS provides them with a designated entrance and seating area which they are guided to by chaperones. The Office also tries to honor specific requests. “We provide them with assistance getting to the seating area, we provide captioning at the ceremonies and programs in large print,� Lewis said. Although ODS isn’t planning any big changes for the future, Lewis said students are in control of the direction the program grows. But her mission remains the same — to continuously evolve and expand Disability Services to best reach students. “We’re always thinking about and listening to what our students say,� Lewis said, “in terms of what types of programming we do and to help us to meet their needs.�

The Bulldogs, who had not lost to the Bears since 2005, battled even with Brown (10–10, 4–4) for two sets but were thoroughly dismantled in the match’s final two frames. “I think we failed to execute this weekend,” captain and outside hitter Karlee Fuller ’16 said. “Brown is a feisty team that really wanted to beat us, and we didn’t combat that passion to the best of our ability.”

A year after coming just 1.9 seconds away from going dancing in the NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament, the Yale men’s basketball team has been named the Ivy League’s preseason favorite for the first time in the 31-year history of the league media poll.

BASKETBALL With 117 points, including five first-place votes, defending cochampion Yale narrowly edged Columbia, which had 114 points and six first-place votes. The threepoint separation at the top is the narrowest in 17 years and secondclosest in history. “From top to bottom, we just keep getting better and better every year,” head coach James Jones said of the Ivy League in the preseason Ivy teleconference Wednesday. “I don’t know if we have a Sweet 16 team or a team that will make it into the Elite Eight, but I do know that top to bottom, all our teams are better and much improved. Everyone has opportunities to win outside our conference … I suspect that we have four teams that can win 20 games.” Princeton finished in third with 108 points and six first-place votes, followed by five-time defending Ivy League champion Harvard at 96 points.

Yale drops opening game

Alozie ’19 scores again

WOMEN’S HOCKEY FROM PAGE B4 half of the second period, the Elis fought back into contention late in the frame. Forward Emily Monaghan ’18 scored her first career goal at 15:26 with an assist from forward Jordan Chancellor ’19, who also earned her first career point. However, Yale did not remain within close striking distance for long. Quinnipiac stretched the gap to 4–2 less than two minutes later to cap the scoring in the second period. “The game was fast-paced, a lot faster paced than the previous weekend,” Murray said. “Our offensivezone opportunities were good, but as a whole, we need to start taking care of all three zones better. Our defensive-zone coverage and backtracking were not up to par with the other team.” The Bobcats did not slow down after the second period intermission, finding the net another two times to give themselves a four-goal lead, the greatest margin of the game. Captain and forward Janelle Ferrara ’16 earned Yale its third goal of the game off an assist from Yip-Chuck in the final two minutes, but ultimately the Bulldogs could not surmount the Quinnipiac lead. Both teams saw players across the lineup contribute offensively, with only one player, Kosta, getting the puck past the posts twice. “[This amount of scoring] shows that our team has a lot of potential offensively,” defenseman Mallory Souliotis ’18 said. “Especially scoring three goals against Quinnipiac, who is known to be very strong defensively.” The Bobcats have only given up more than a single goal once in their five games so far this season. On the defensive end, goaltender Hanna Mandl ’17 saved 20 of 26 shots in her sixth career start, the first contest in which the Bulldogs have competed without graduated three-year starter Jaimie Leonoff ’15, whose career statistics include a 0.918 win percentage and over 3,000 saves during her time at Yale.

Despite the difficult matchup to open the 2015– 16 schedule, the Bulldogs kept pace for the majority of the game and finished with 21 shots, not far off behind Quinnipiac’s 26 attempts. “There are a lot of positives that we can take from the game against Quinnipiac, and we learned what we need to improve on in order to get where we want to be as a team,” defenseman Kara Drexler ’18 said. “I’m looking forward to playing them again this upcoming weekend so we can prove that we are a force to be reckoned with.” While Quinnipiac is a fellow member of the ECAC, this weekend’s contest did not count as a conference game that is reflected in the ECAC standings. The Elis will begin ECAC play this weekend when they host Princeton on Friday night before wel-

the game remained scoreless at halftime. Although they were outshot 7–3 in the second half, the Bulldogs got on the scoreboard first when defender Cameron Riach ’19 scored his first career goal. Off a free kick, Nicky Downs ’19 sent the ball 40 yards into Quaker territory. Positioned just inside the box, Riach eluded a host of Quaker defenders to head the ball in, beating Etan Mabourakh, Penn’s freshman keeper. Mabourakh was the reigning Ivy League Rookie of the Week, but his reflexes were not quick enough for a save. The Bulldogs were unable to maintain their lead for long though, as within five minutes, the Quakers notched an equalizer. Off a free kick similar to the one the Bulldogs had scored on, the ball sailed into the Yale box. A scramble ensued and although the Quakers’ header shot high in the air before bouncing around the box, forward Jerel Blades capitalized on the confusion and coolly slotted the rebounded ball into the net. “Their goal was against the run of play, which seems to be a common occurrence for us,” midfielder Lucas Kirby ’19 said, referencing Cornell’s overtime gamewinner last week. In the remaining 30 minutes, both teams looked to score the winner, but the Quakers had the better chances and kept goalkeeper Ryan Simpson ’17 busy. The match was Simpson’s first outing since tearing a muscle in his right quad, which forced him to miss seven matches. He performed well, though, making five fine saves to push the game into overtime. “Since being out, my biggest concerns were the speed of my decision making, goal-kicks and confidence in my performance,” Simpson said. “Two of those three things, my decision making and confidence, felt where they needed to be to perform. While some of the goal kicks went well, there definitely needs to be a bit more consistency that will be worked on in practice.” In overtime, Simpson continued his noteworthy performance. With less than two minutes to go, he made a leaping save with his left arm completely outstretched to prevent an otherwise superb Penn strike from finding the back of the net. Yale’s best chance came with less than 30 seconds left on the clock, but the team was unable to recreate the last-second

coming Quinnipiac to Ingalls Rink for a rematch on Saturday. According to players, the Bulldogs are hoping for a chance to prove themselves against the Bobcats now that they have a game under their belts. “We underestimated our opponent, but in all fairness they have already played many more games than us,” Murray said. “This coming weekend should be more even. We have bad habits sometimes and that cost us a few goals on Saturday. We need to work on doing the simple things right.” The puck will drop on home ice at 7 p.m. against the Tigers, who have kicked off their season with two wins versus out-of-conference opponent Mercyhurst.

offense to make up for it. In the past five games, the Elis’ opponents have outscored them 8–0, forcing Yale to play from behind for much of the game. “We give up goals too early in games,” head coach Rudy Meredith said. “Six out of our eight losses we’ve given up a goal in the first 15, 30 minutes of the game. When we don’t do that we usually do pretty well. We have to mentally focus and concentrate on the first 20 minutes so we don’t have to chase the game afterwards.” In addition to those early goals, the Quakers were able to maintain the ball in Yale’s third for the majority of the game, with the stats to back up their domination. The Elis managed only four shots on net to Penn’s eight, while the Quakers outshot the Bulldogs in total 12–6. Penn’s defense was just as aggressive as its attack, committing nine fouls while allowing Alozie’s goal only when the Elis did not have enough time to mount a full comeback. “By the time we switched on and started playing well, it was too late,” Ames

said. “[Alozie] did a great job of creating an opportunity and taking a nice shot to put us on the board, but our efforts to tie the game were unsuccessful.” Yale went into the game knowing that it would have to put up a fight to find the back of the net. Penn goalkeeper Carrie Crook is second in the Ivy League in goals against average, having conceded just seven goals over the 12-game season. Yale is one of four teams to break Penn’s clean sheets in the last month. The Bulldogs will take on Columbia next, and according to Meredith, they will be working hard this week in practice to make sure they limit additional defensive lapses. “We’ll look at film tonight and see how [Columbia is] playing,” Meredith said Sunday. “Mostly, we’re going to focus on what we need to do to make sure to start off the game better.” Yale will be taking to the road once more next Saturday afternoon, when they meet the Lions at 4 p.m.

heroics from last weekend’s Cornell contest in which Kenagy forced overtime with a thrilling goal. Kenagy had plenty of space, but his right-footed shot went two meters wide of the net. “We really turned on the pressure during overtime and were pushing for a winning goal throughout the 20 minutes of overtime,” Kirby said. “We got extremely close to putting the winner away, so we were a bit upset with the result.” Kenagy added that the draw was a step in the right direction, but expressed his disappointment that the Bulldogs had “plenty of chances to put that game away.” Nevertheless, the freshman, who is the team’s leading goal-scorer, is confident the results will improve as the season nears its close. “I think another win is right around the corner for us,” Kenagy said. His prediction will be put to the test this Tuesday when the Bulldogs travel an hour north to take on an in-state foe, the University of Connecticut.

The Elis ride a three-game losing streak heading into this weekend.

Valiant efforts fall short FIELD HOCKEY FROM PAGE B4 Forward/midfielder Carol Middough ’18 notched her team-leading seventh goal of the season at the 42:50 mark off an assist from midfielder Nicole Wells ’16 on a penalty corner. Shortly following the goal, Middough helped set up Yale’s second strike of the game as her shot was tipped in by back Kiwi Comizio ’18, her second goal in as many games. Yale’s rally fizzled from that point forward, and a Penn goal less than seven minutes later provided some valuable insurance to the Quakers as the two-goal gap would last through the final whistle. Hoping to salvage the weekend against the Bison, Yale’s afternoon started off in promising fashion. Ultimately though, a 1–0 lead over its Patriot League foe was not enough for victory. “It was a disappointing loss, no question,” Stuper said. “It was an opportunity we had to try and win, and to take a 4–1 loss is really disappointing.” Despite a scoreless first half, the period was still full of opportunities for each side. Together, the teams accrued 17 shots in the first half — 12 to five in Bucknell’s favor. Bulldog goalie Emilie Katz ’17, second in the nation in saves, made several highlight reel-worthy stops in the half including a diving block in the ninth minute. Katz delivered multiple slidingkick saves throughout the period and also turned away Bucknell senior and the Patriot League’s leading goal scorer Kiersten Sydnor on a wideopen break away. Early in the second half, it was Yale that earned a promising opportunity at the net. On Yale’s third corner of the afternoon, Middough unleashed a shot, which Bucknell goalie Emily Flinn saved. But forward/midfielder Evagelia Toffoloni ’19 was positioned perfectly for the rebound, and slipped the ball around Flinn to midfielder/back Marissa Medici ’19 who smacked it home to take the lead and earn her first career goal. “It felt great to score my first collegiate goal,” Medici said. “There honestly wasn’t much to be done on my part besides sweep the ball in. Eva gave a great ball past the keeper and I was just there to touch it past the last defender’s stick.”

DENIZ SAIP/CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER

The Bulldogs have two Ivy contests remaining to improve their 0–5 conference mark. For several minutes after that goal, Yale was able to maintain steady pressure in hopes of building a cushion. However, Yale’s attack never broke through in Bucknell’s final third, a fact Stuper addressed. “We played well up until our attacking 20,” Stuper said. “But we just can’t create enough.” As the second half wore on, the tides turned rapidly. Despite Katz’s impressive play, Bucknell scored two goals in quick succession. The first goal came after Comizio received a green card, leaving Yale with only nine field players. Bucknell’s Abby Watson scored the tying goal and the next came from Sydnor less than six minutes later, the first of three straight for the senior. Down 2–1 with seven minutes left, Stuper called a timeout, hoping to rally her team and to mount a lategame comeback. Instead, the opposite happened. Minutes after the timeout, Sydnor scored her second goal on a penalty corner. And then with less than a minute left in the game, she completed her first career hat trick off a give-and-go with teammate Abby Watson.

“Typically when I can call a timeout, we regroup, there’s a lot of energy [and] we get back on the field,” Stuper said. “But I don’t think we had any other shot after the timeout [this time].” Stuper explained that each of the goals was a result of a defensive breakdown in situations they have practiced, but none were the fault of her goalkeeper, Katz. Katz remains positive despite the plethora of shots she has had to fend off this season. She has made 156 saves thus far, while the next most saves in the Ivy League belongs to Dartmouth’s Paige Duffy, who has saved 86 shots. “I try to walk away from each game knowing that maybe I wasn’t thrilled with the outcome, but I gave everything I had, and I made the saves I could make, and they really had to earn their goals.” Katz said. The Elis travel to the Big Apple to try and earn their first Ivy League victory against Columbia at 1 p.m. this Saturday, before visiting Lafayette on Sunday in Pennsylvania.

3–1 loss at Brown VOLLEYBALL FROM PAGE B1 Having lost all three of their conference road matches, the Bulldogs sit at a crossroads as they seek an Ivy League title. Though the three Ivy losses are the most Yale has had since 2009, the team is still in control of its destiny. Winning out — which would require home victories over conference leaders Dartmouth and Harvard late in the season — would guarantee the Elis at least a share of the conference title. The Bulldogs opened the match looking like a far superior unit, getting kills from five different players en route to a 7–2 lead. However, Brown quickly came back to tie the frame at eight apiece. After a back-and-forth battle, the Bears fought back to win a tight 26–24 set, with major contributions from outside hitter Sabrina Stillwell and middle blocker Payton Smith, who combined for 11 of Brown’s 19 first-set kills. Yale rebounded in the second set. The Bulldogs won the frame’s final six points to pull away from a 19–19 deadlock, getting four kills each from outside hitters Kelley Wirth ’19 and Jesse Ebner ’16. The set-clinching kill came from middle hitter Meaghan Truman ’18, whose three kills matched her season total coming into the weekend. The Bulldogs entered the match’s all-important third set looking to carry forward their momentum and take a commanding 2–1 lead. Instead, Yale’s offense tanked, with only seven kills against five errors in the third set, while Brown significantly improved its play. The Bears took advantage of errors from Fuller and outside hitter Brittani Steinberg ’17 to open up a 12–4 lead, and Yale was unable to sustain a comeback, succumbing by a 25–14 margin. “We just have to continue staying focused on controlling our side of the net,” Steinberg said. “For this coming weekend, we have to stay consistent throughout the course of a game.” The fourth set proceeded in a painfully similar fashion as the Bulldogs continued to struggle, losing seven of the first 10 points and 19 of the first 30. Yale made a brief run aided by two Ebner kills to close the gap to 20–15, but errors from Wirth and Steinberg sparked another Bear run. Brown closed out the match by a sizable 25–16 score. “We weren’t as consistent as last weekend,” setter Kelly Johnson ’16 said, referring to Yale’s 3–1 and 3–0 victories over Penn and Princeton, respectively. “The small errors added up, and Brown took advantage of that.” While Yale’s struggles magnified as the match went on, Brown grew stronger as it closed out the contest. The Bulldogs committed just five errors in their first two sets before combining for 11 in an ugly latter half of the match. On the other hand, the Bears hit for a higher percentage in each successive game, peaking with an impressive 0.342 mark in the deciding

The next two weekends send Yale on another pair of road trips, facing four Ancient Eight rivals that the Elis soundly defeated on their home floor.

The 2014 Second Team AllIvy selection now leads the Ivy League in interceptions. The final nail in the coffin came when, at the beginning of the fourth quarter with Penn leading 27–20, the Quakers chewed up almost seven minutes with a 97-yard march that culminated in a 28-yard rushing touchdown. Responsible for all but two of the plays, Torgersen racked up 61 all-purpose yards on the drive. Running back Tre Solomon, who had his first career 100-yard rushing game, scampered through Yale’s secondary, cutting between defenders to put the Bulldogs away. “[On] an earlier play, I thought I was going for a touchdown but I got caught from behind,” Solomon said. “I was thinking, maybe I wasn’t as fast as I thought I was, so I made that cut.” The loss drops Yale beneath 0.500 in league play for the first time since 2013. Though either Harvard or Dartmouth will lose this week, as the two remaining undefeated Ancient Eight teams face one another on Friday, Yale still needs help if it is to earn a share of the title.

for two-time Ivy Rookie of the Week wide receiver Christian Pearson. The speedy freshman burned the Eli secondary, ending the day with six receptions for 133 yards and two touchdowns. Pearson ran the same route on both scoring catches, which were 27- and 63-yard catch-and-runs, en route to his second career 100-yard game. “The play before that first touchdown, I laid out for [the ball] and didn’t catch it,” Pearson said. “I was pretty upset I didn’t catch it, so we ran it again and I caught it. I was glad [Torgersen] trusted me on that one.” The Quakers’ offense ended the day with 533 yards. Though Yale put up a respectable 419 yards, four turnovers and a 40 percent third-down conversion rate prevented the offense from reaching the end zone. When Roberts did search for the end zone on Friday, he was more likely to find a member of the other team. Through six games, the quarterback’s nine picks total more than his eight passing touchdowns. Six of those interceptions occurred within the opponent’s 20-yard line. Roberts, who has seen a decline statistically this season with many of his top targets injured, struggled particularly on his third interception. Reuland was open as a checkdown option near the line of scrimmage, but Roberts threw into traffic for the pick instead.

ished with 350 yards through the air, impressing the home crowd multiple times with long and accurate strikes to his wide receivers. The junior’s 397 allpurpose yards rank fourth in school history in terms of yards gained in a single game. Yale’s night began on a positive note, as for the first time since Week 1, starting wide receivers Robert Clemons III ’17 and Bo Hines ’18 took the field together. Recovered from upper body injuries that had sidelined the receivers for a combined seven games, the two tallied 165 yards in total on 11 receptions. Hines, however, exited the game with another undisclosed injury in the third quarter. Six weeks in, the slot receiver is yet to play a full game since transferring from North Carolina State in the offseason. Tight end Sebastian Little ’17 and second-string running back Deshawn Salter ’18 also left the field with apparent knee and neck injuries, respectively. “Rob and Bo are great players for us and we were happy to have them back on Friday,” captain and defensive back Cole Champion ’16 wrote in a message to the News. After the game, Reno acknowledged that the lack of consistency in the receiving corps made passing more difficult. He added that it has been frustrating to have Clemons

and Hines both healthy for such a small part of this season. Salter, the reigning Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week, left during the first quarter and came in only sporadically throughout the remainder of the game, leaving running back Austin Reuland ’16 with the bulk of the carries. Reuland ran well between the tackles, as the converted wide receiver picked up 61 yards and one touchdown on 12 carries. Penn’s ground game, on the other hand, flourished as a complement to Torgersen’s passing performance. The Quakers picked up 183 rushing yards on 40 carries, a step up from the Bulldogs’ 101 yards on 27 tries. “I think our offensive staff did a good job of watching tape, taking what [the defense gives] you,” Penn head coach Ray Priore said. “For example, it was difficult to run football last week because Columbia stacked the box. Tonight, Yale started playing out wide against the receivers, so that opened up lanes on the inside for the receivers. It’s patience and taking what they give you.” After ceding four catches of 20-plus yards to Penn wideout Justin Watson, Yale’s defense made the appropriate adjustments at the half. Watson caught just one ball in the final 30 minutes. However, the tight coverage on Watson opened spaces

League, though they have been picked as the runner-up on seven prior occasions, including last season. This year, with forward and defending Ivy Player of the Year Justin Sears ’16 headlining an experienced squad, the Bulldogs look to avenge back-to-back heartbreaking losses that cost them a stand-alone conference title and their first NCAA tournament berth in 53 years. “The way things went down at the end of the season for us did not sit well and obviously still does not sit well,” Jones said. “Disappointment is something that pushes you forward. It’s a new year now, though, so everything that happened last year doesn’t matter. I have a new team, new players, so now my focus is on the guys we have and getting the most out of them.” With three of the team’s top five scorers graduated, the onus is on Sears and captain and guard Jack Montague ’16 to propel their team — which finished second in the conference in both scoring offense and scoring defense last year — to the next level. Montague led the league in threepoint shooting percentage a year ago, knocking down 43.5 percent of his shots from behind the arc. Filling out the backcourt alongside Montague will likely be guard Makai Mason ’18, whose 6.2 points per game led all freshmen on the team. The sophomore, who averaged 19.2 minutes of play in 2014–15, earned the team’s Outstanding Freshman award and could see even more time this year. “Because of how good Javier Duren ’15 was for us last year, Makai didn’t play as much as he would have if we didn’t have a great player at the point,” Jones said. “I expect that people are going to get a steady diet of him. He’s a talented guard and he’s come to understand our system a bit better so he can put his teammates in positions to be successful. I’m expecting him to have a great year for us.” Joining Sears in the frontcourt is forward Brandon Sherrod ’16, who made national headlines in 2014 when he announced he was taking a year off from basketball to tour the world with his a capella group, the Whiffenpoofs. As a junior, the 6-foot-6 Sherrod was second on the team in blocked shots and third in rebounding. Jones said that Sherrod’s athleticism and leadership are welcome additions to an already veteran team. In separate surveys of six college basketball publications, Sears and Columbia guard Maodo Lo, last season’s Ancient Eight scoring leader at 18.4 points per game, were each tabbed as Player of the Year favorites. Should Sears earn the honors, he would be the sixth player to win the award twice. Lo, who spent this summer playing on the German national team with NBA players Dirk Nowitzki and Dennis Schröder, will take the court alongside

two Lions returning from injuries. Grant Mullins and Alex Rosenberg, a former first-team All-Ivy selection, are both expected to play this season, head coach Kyle Smith said. Mullins suffered a season-ending head injury, and Rosenberg withdrew last season after fracturing his foot right before the season began. His reemergence elevates Columbia to contender status, as Rosenberg averaged 16.0 points in the 2013–14 season. “I think [Mullins and Rosenberg are] a little more experienced and mature in the way they play,” Smith said. “There’s still a little rust. You can’t just overcome missing a whole season, but I think experience will overcome that rust … Their leadership has been really strong. I think they just want to see the team’s success … and get back on the court.” Princeton, meanwhile, looks to build on a 16–14 season, including a 9–5 Ivy campaign that placed it third in the conference standings. Three upperclassman forwards, each of whom averaged more than 10 points per game last season, will lead the Tigers, who are likely to rely on their big men around the post. One season removed from a 22–8 overall, 11–3 Ivy record that culminated in its fourth consecutive March Madness appearance, the Crimson suffered a big loss earlier this year with the loss of point guard Siyani Chambers. Chambers, a three-time All-Ivy player who played in 90 of Harvard’s last 92 games, tore the ACL in his left knee this past summer and subsequently withdrew from Harvard for a year in order to preserve his remaining year of league eligibility. “Hearing that news, first of all you think of [Chambers],” Harvard head coach Tommy Amaker said. “As a senior, you’re devastated for him. Then you think of our young team and who he needed to be for this ball club, and how devastating that can be for us.” Chambers had surgery on his knee about three weeks ago, according to Amaker, and his rehabilitation is on schedule. Even without Chambers, the Crimson can be a formidable threat. Amaker has proven himself to be a talented recruiter, with two of ESPN’s Top 100 players entering the school next year. Harvard’s current crop of underclassmen includes three- and four-star players such as guards Andre Chatfield and Tommy McCarthy. “We’ll be as young as we’ve ever been, but nonetheless we think we have confidence and key guys in terms of experience,” Amaker said. “We’ll see what that brings for us.” Yale opens its 2015–16 basketball season on Nov. 13 at the Connecticut Six Classic against Fairfield. Central Connecticut, Quinnipiac, Sacred Heart and Hartford will also participate in the season-kickoff tournament. Contact MAYA SWEEDLER at maya.sweedler@yale.edu .

“The true competitors, though, are the ones who always play to win.” TOM BRADY FUTURE HALL OF FAME QUARTERBACK

Quinnipiac spoils season opener

Early goals too much to handle

WOMEN’S HOCKEY

BY ANDRÉ MONTEIRO CONTRIBUTING REPORTER The Yale women’s soccer team conceded two goals early in the first half at Penn on Saturday — a trend consistent with the Elis’ last four losses. The Bulldogs managed to get on the scoreboard in the last 10 minutes, but were unable to equalize the score before the final whistle, falling 2–1 in the conference contest.

WOMEN’S SOCCER This marks the third straight loss for Yale (4–8– 2, 1–4–0 Ivy), making this stretch the team’s longest losing streak this season. The Bulldogs remain seventh in the Ivy League, with Dartmouth — the Elis’ only conference win — claiming the eighth spot. “Once again, the team worked really hard, but when you go down two goals early, it’s tough to come back,”

midfielder Maggie Furlong ’18 said. “We ended up scoring later on and everyone was really excited, but we need that energy to be there from the get-go for the next two games.” The Quakers (6–3–5, 1–1– 3) scored in the 14th minute of the game when a Penn corner kick found midfielder Allie Trzaska, whose header put the ball in the back of the net. Less than six minutes later, defender Caroline Dwyer beat goalkeeper Rachel Ames ’16 in a oneon-one to take the early 2–0 lead. Penn held on to that margin until the 82nd minute, when forward Michelle Alozie ’19 fired a shot just under the crossbar from 25 yards out — the sixth goal this season from the freshman. Yale’s defense has suffered from first-half goals recently, without the early SEE W. SOCCER PAGE B2

Forward Krista Yip-Chuck ’17 notched two points thanks to a goal and an assist to lead the Elis’ attack. BY HOPE ALLCHIN STAFF REPORTER A year removed from a 15-win campaign — the team’s best since 2005 — that included an upset victory over then-No.5 Quinnipiac, the Yale women’s ice hockey team dropped its first match against that same local rival on Saturday. In a high-scoring affair, the Bulldogs (0–1–0, 0–0–0 ECAC) could not keep pace with the

No. 8 Bobcats (4–0–1, 0–0–0), whose aggressive offense earned them a 6–3 victory over the Elis. Despite the loss, Yale showed promise as the team debuted several new faces in the lineup in addition to a strong core of returning players. “This is what we needed, honestly,” forward Eden Murray ’18 said. “If we want to be up there, we have to change some things, and that was very evident Saturday. The potential is clearly

there also, so I see it as an exciting opportunity.” The game started with a slow first period for the Bulldogs, who managed just one shot in comparison to Quinnipiac’s seven, before the Bobcats put themselves on the board at 9:44 in the first period off the stick of Nicole Kosta. The Elis answered with a goal of their own by forward Krista Yip-Chuck ’17 on an assist from defenseman Taylor Marchin ’17 less than four minutes later.

Field hockey drops pair BY KEVIN BENDESKY CONTRIBUTING REPORTER After failing to complete a comeback from three goals behind Penn on Saturday, the Yale field hockey team saw a 1–0 lead slip away on Sunday to Bucknell, conceding four unanswered goals to cap off a disappointing weekend of action.

FIELD HOCKEY The Elis (2–12, 0–5 Ivy) fell 4–2 at Penn (12–2, 4–1) before ending up on the wrong end of a 4–1 scoreline against Bucknell (8–9, 3–2 Patriot). In each contest, Yale saw itself outshot — dramatically so against Penn. The Quakers attempted 26 shots, 15 of which were on target, as compared to just eight Yale shot attempts, with five of

those ending up on target. “For the amount of shots we get, we are scoring goals. We are just not getting enough opportunities on shots,” head coach Pam Stuper said. “You shoot enough and they go in.” Tasked with an explosive Penn opponent, the highest-scoring team in the Ivy League, two first-half goals extended a streak of four Ivy contests in which the Elis entered halftime facing a deficit. When Penn found the back of the net once more, barely more than two minutes into the second half, Yale’s hopes for its first Ancient Eight win of the season seemed slim. However, a six-minute stretch soon thereafter shifted the momentum in the visiting Bulldogs’ favor. SEE FIELD HOCKEY PAGE B2

The Bobcats broke the tie before entering the first break with a power-play goal in the final two minutes of the period, as Kosta struck again. It was this consistent scoring pattern — two Quinnipiac goals to a single Yale goal — that put the Bulldogs in a position they could not come back from later in the contest.

Draw snaps losing streak BY LISA QIAN CONTRIBUTING REPORTER For the second match in a row, the Yale men’s soccer team found itself engaged in an overtime contest in pursuit of its first conference victory.

MEN’S SOCCER Away at Penn (2–8–2, 1–2–1 Ivy), the Bulldogs (1–10–1, 0–3–1) could not muster a winning strike during extra time despite some promising chances and ended up with a 1–1 draw. “That lockdown mentality [during overtime] while still creating a plethora of attacking opportunities shows that we are improving each game,” goalkeeper Ryan Simpson ’17 said. The 1–1 scoreline at the end of regulation forced overtime, but neither team won the game, even in 20 minutes of added time. The draw is Yale’s best result since its home win against Quinnipiac more than a month ago, and snaps a six-game losing streak. The Bulldogs, however, still sit at the bottom of the Ivy League table with one point and are the only Ivy League team that has not yet won a conference match. “Though we didn’t win the game, we also held on late in the game to prevent losing the game,” Simpson said. As has been the theme this season, the Bulldogs struggled to find their offensive footing during the first 45 minutes of the match, instead relying on a more defensive approach. Although Penn was more prolific on the attack, the Bulldog defense ensured that none of the Quakers’ chances presented any real danger, as just one of their six shots was on target. Forward Kyle Kenagy ’19 attributed Yale’s lackluster first-half attacking performance to the team’s subpar ability to maintain possession, which allowed too many Eli passes to be intercepted by the Quakers.
