Gourmet Heaven owner Chung Cho has filed a motion to receive an accelerated rehabiliation in order to avoid time in jail.

BY LILLIAN CHILDRESS STAFF REPORTER Facing charges that could put him behind bars for the remainder of his life, Gourmet Heaven owner Chung Cho has filed a motion meant to keep him out of jail.

Accused of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from workers, Cho — who was arrested in February on 42 felony and misdemeanor charges of wage theft — along with

his attorney David Leff, has applied for accelerated rehabilitation. If successful, Cho would avoid jail with no traces on his criminal record and a maximum probation period of two years. Prosecutors have opposed the move, and on Monday, Leff and state attorney Michael Denison presented opposing cases before New Haven District Superior Court Judge Maureen Keegan.

Elm City “critical” to Malloy victory

BY ERICA PANDEY STAFF REPORTER With the most recent polls showing a dead heat in Connecicut’s race for governor, incumbent Gov. Dannel Malloy is banking on a strong turnout in the Elm City to carry him through next Tuesday’s election.

The Malloy campaign has taken up the help of prominent Democrats in New Haven to execute a door-to-door canvas strategy. Last Week, Malloy and Delauro also spoke at Park Ridge Towers Elderly Housing to specifically rally senior voters.

A Quinnipiac University poll, released last Wednesday, puts support for both Malloy and Republican challenger Tom Foley virtually tied, with Malloy at 43 percent and Foley at 42 percent, suggesting that Tuesday’s contest will be as close as the 2010 election. In 2010, Malloy edged a 0.5 percent victory

over Foley. Connecticut Democrats attributed Malloy’s 2010 victory in part to his landslide victory in New Haven, where he won by 18,613 votes, compared to a 6,404 vote margin for the state at large.

State Senate Majority Leader Martin Looney said that Malloy needs as many votes from New Haven, including Yale, as he can get to win the election. Vincent Mauro, the town chair of the Democratic party, echoed Looney’s sentiment.

“If we can put up as many votes for Malloy as we did four years ago, his chance of winning will be that much higher,” Mauro said.

In 2010, Malloy’s margin of victory in New Haven was larger than in any other town or city in the state.

grounds that it is too serious a matter,” Denison said. “We hope the outcome of this has a positive effect on New Haven and the employer-employee relationships around it.”

After months of negotiations, the University has received a $10 million donation, earmarked for financial aid, intended to help admitted students from low-incomes Chinese families obtain a Yale education.

The gift was formally announced by the administration in Beijing during a signing ceremony on Wednesday — which took place at noon Beijing time. The donation is part of a $100 million endowment fund created by the SOHO China Foundation, an organization funded and operated by SOHO China, the nation’s largest prime office real-estate developer. The foundation’s co-founders — Chinese billionaires Zhang Xin and Pan Shiyi — established an endowment, called the SOHO China Undergraduate Scholarship Fund, earlier this year with the aim of encouraging Chinese students to apply to elite universities worldwide regardless of their financial circumstances.

“The gift will help top Chinese national students access a Yale education today and for generations to come,” University President Peter Salovey said. “The SOHO China Foundation’s extraordinary generosity will encourage outstanding students from China to apply to Yale and assure them, should they be admitted, that we will meet their full demonstrated need for financial support.”

Yale 17th globally, U.S. News says

BY TYLER FOGGATT STAFF REPORTER While Yale has traditionally sat near the top of the U.S. News and World Report’s National University Rankings, the publication’s inaugural list of the best global universities ranks Yale at number 17.

The list, released Tuesday, marks the first time that U.S. News — known for their annual rankings of American colleges

— compiled data in order to display how universities compare with one another on a global scale. Five hundred collegiate institutions spanning a total of 49 countries are featured in the rankings, with Harvard ranked first, followed by MIT at number two and the University of California Berkeley at number three.

Aside from Harvard, Yale is also ranked beneath two other Ivy League schools, Columbia (10) and Princeton (13).

Robert Morse, U.S. News Director of Data Research, said the methodology used in determining the global rankings was very different from the methodology used to produce the U.S. News Best Colleges list — a domestic ranking that takes various components of the undergraduate experience into account. The new ranking is almost wholly quantitative, focusing on each university’s research output and reputation

worldwide, he said.

“The main reason we picked this particular methodology is that [the data] we use in our best colleges [list], which is very specific to the undergraduate experience, is not available globally to compare schools,” Morse said. “Admissions, faculty, class sizes, salaries, graduation retention rates — they’re not available to compare across borders …

The main factor you can compare globally is bibliometrics, mea-

suring academic performance and productivity.”

While Yale ranked 10th in global research reputation, it fell to numbers as low as 108th for international collaboration and 593rd for number of Ph.Ds awarded per academic staff member.

Administrators interviewed said these low rankings are due to Yale’s small size in comparison SEE RANKING PAGE 6

OPINION

.COMMENT “Some among you will find Connecticut a lovely place to live and will take yaledailynews.com/opinion

Controversy revisted A

month and a half ago, our campus was treated to a minor scandal.

The Buckley Program invited Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a controversial women’s rights and antiIslamic activist, to speak on campus. In response, the Muslim Student Association, along with many co-signees, sent an email to the student body calling on Hirsi Ali to limit her remarks to her own personal experience or to have a scholar of Islam on stage to provide a contrasting viewpoint.

I think it is worthwhile to return to this incident, after the dust has settled, to reflect on what it says about our campus’ understanding of free speech and communal respect.

Hopefully, by understanding this latest controversy, we will be better prepared to deal with the next one. In my view, the invitation of Hirsi Ali to campus, and the accompanying campus response on all sides, is a testament to the strength of the University and an example we should look to as a model going forward.

There is an inherent tension between the University’s goals of being a place for the free discussion of ideas and a place where people feel welcome and safe. Most ideas offend someone, and most really powerful ideas offend many deeply.

I find Hirsi Ali’s depiction of Islam personally offensive, fundamentally wrong and dangerous. That such views would be welcomed and celebrated on this campus is something I find disturbing.

A WELLFUNCTIONING UNIVERSITY IS ABLE TO CREATE A SPACE FOR CHALLENGING US WHILE MAKING US FEEL AT HOME But Yale is not meant to be a comfortable place. It is meant to be a place where we confront ideas we find repulsive and grapple with them. It is only in doing this that we discover what we really do believe. The sad fact is that Hirsi Ali's view is one that many people find compelling. But if I want to combat this, my tactic should be engagement, not censorship. After all, I hold ideas that others find deeply offensive, and if I were silenced at Yale, I would feel justifiably outraged. It is too difficult a task to determine objectively which speech is “hateful” and which is simply objectionable but

permissible.

Given this a m b i g u i ty, we should lean toward encouraging co n t rove rsial speech ISA QASIM instead of suppressing it. The The B u c k Passerby ley Program should thus be praised for standing by its invitation, and the MSA should be praised for not publicly requesting that the invitation be withdrawn.

At the same time, however, all students must be valued members of the University. This was the point of Dean Holloway’s address at the MSA’s annual Eid Banquet. We all have some ownership of Yale, and it is important that we recognize and celebrate that fact. That is why I found the MSA’s letter to be so moving. Although there was a small confusion over the signatories, that so many student groups on campus would sign onto this letter to demonstrate their concern with Hirsi Ali was beautiful proof of the regard Yale holds for its Muslim community. For a population that is often marginalized nationally and has been subject to covert police surveillance here at Yale, the steps large and small taken by the administration, the student body and the MSA to affirm their belonging are of immense importance.

Meaningful intellectual discourse can only take place in a space of trust. We are only willing to open ourselves up to other ideas or present our own when we feel we will be respected throughout. Some ideas or speakers will inevitably erode this trust, but that does not mean they should be shut off from this campus.

Instead, we as a community must seek to support those who may feel vulnerable or attacked, even while we engage meaningfully with these difficult ideas.

It is a difficult balancing act.

But luckily, a university is not a monolithic thing. It is not the responsibility of the Buckley Program to look after the Muslim population; their mission is to bring in conservative voices to campus. Nor is it the job of the College Democrats to provide support for Young Republicans. A well-functioning university is able to create a space for controversial speakers while also supporting those who are hurt. Yale is imperfect in this regard, but I take pride in how the community handled this latest incident.

'BILL' ON 'PRO-GUN ACTIVISTS RALLY IN HARTFORD'

G U E S T C O L U M N I S T R A L E I G H C AV E R O

Stem the tide of Ebola “D

id you know James was in the ER last night?” my suitemate asked.

That’s never something you want to hear, but it’s even worse when James shared the department with a possible Ebola patient.

Then she delivered the punch line: “I was with him until 3 a.m. and then walked him home.” I was two feet from someone who possibly had been exposed. “You should have seen all the health care workers putting on masks when the patient came in!” My stomach dropped. “Oh, and they told everyone with young children to leave without explaining why.”

Not what I wanted to hear at 4:30 p.m. on a Thursday.

I slept in another suite that night. Luckily, it was a false alarm.

I breathed a sigh of relief the next day when the Center for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the negative test result.

But it shouldn’t have come this close. We should not have had to wait with baited breath. The United States, with its global reach and excellent health care system, should be putting itself in a position of safety. Thirty other countries have enacted travel bans, and the SAFC, a federation of African states, has a mandatory 21-day quarantine on all travelers from West Africa.

But we’re sending our citizens into the hot zone and not taking the necessary precautions when they return. I applaud those willing to give their lives to aid those in need of medical care. They are truly selfless. But a selfless mission should not conclude with the selfish act of bringing Ebola back to the United States. Your decision to expose yourself is your decision.

Do not impose that decision on innocent bystanders in the everyday walkways of our cities and airports. Do not endanger your own families or ours.

Health care officials insist that Ebola can only be transmitted through bodily fluids. This is true. But sweat and sputum are bodily fluids, easily spewed into the air or wiped onto surfaces. And with a 70 percent mortality rate.

Ebola can live for several hours on a dry surface and for six days in bodily secretions. An infected man coughs on the handrail at Grand Central, and every hand that touches it afterward gets the Ebola virus.

That’s not a risk I’m willing to mess with. Not with that disease, where death is as likely as heads or tails.

What should we do about all of this? One thing’s for sure: selfisolation and self-monitoring just aren’t cutting it. The Texas patient

lied on his intake forms to get back into the States, though he’d helped carry a woman dying of Ebola into her house. The nurse who treated him got on a plane to Cleveland, with the CDC’s permission. A doctor traveled all around New York City until twelve hours before coming down with Ebola. He should have known better.

At the end of the day, we’re risking ourselves through inaction. We haven’t imposed a 21-day quarantine on everyone returning from the affected countries. It’s only on health care workers, and even then the government is backing down after a few complaints.

Make quarantine livable but make it mandatory — for everyone. The entire problem in West Africa is that health care workers aren’t the main ones with the disease. It’s rampant in the population, and much of the spread comes from West Africans’ skepticism about governments and health care.

Screening at five distinct airports is woefully inadequate. We already saw with patient zero how easy it is to lie about your exposure risk, or just take Tylenol and eliminate fever detection. Screening does nothing to prevent people returning with the virus and bringing it to our cities. And what good does it do the world for the greatest source of humanitar-

ian aid, the United States, to get hit with the epidemic at home?

Who, then, will be helping the world, when there is no one left unmarred?

What we need is a travel ban.

Without it, people will continue traveling to West Africa and returning travelers will contaminate commercial airliners. That’s the fastest way to spread Ebola, if we’re looking for one.

We imposed a travel and immigration ban on foreigners with HIV for more than 20 years — it just ended in 2010, having ruled the skies since Ronald Reagan. So why can’t we implement a travel ban for commercial airliners to West Africa? Allow health care workers to travel with charter flights and do their part in saving the world.

Even with a travel ban, these charter flights can be tracked. But with a travel ban, ordinary citizens will be free from having those health care workers’ risky choice imposed on them. One man should be able to risk his life for others; he should not be able to risk a hundred peoples’ lives, without asking them, and without them even knowing.

M

y suitemate gives a frustrated sigh and closes his computer. “I need to get a job,” he says. I sympathize with his plight; finding an oncampus job at Yale as a freshman is not easy, even for students doing work-study. And while being employed has its benefits, the drawbacks can extend to students feeling isolated or unable to pursue other interests.

This year, policy changes issued by the Provost’s Office have capped the University’s contribution — which has traditionally been 50 percent of whatever a student earns — to student wages at $7.50 an hour.

If a student earns more than $15 an hour, Yale will retract the entirety of its contribution. In other words, if the history department wants to hire a student at $15 an hour, it’ll only effectively cost them $7.50 an hour. But if they want to give the student a $1 raise, their obligation balloons to the full $16 per hour.

This is a case of Yale searching for that extra penny at the cost of the pound. Students complain that this shift will reinforce the socioeconomic gap between students as those on financial aid are forced to work additional hours. Working on campus consumes a precious

resource: time. Students who work five or six hours each week to meet their expected student tuition contributions are limited in the time they can spend doing other things like practicing an instrument or participating in a club. An hour each day might not seem like a whole lot, but it puts pressure on an already busy schedule.

Most students do not secure positions through a traditional job search. Sending emails and filling out forms might be the way to get a job at a Dairy Queen or the local pizza place, but things work differently at Yale.

The way to get a job nowadays involves networking and tipoffs from friends. This leaves network-less freshmen with no chance of finding employment.

My experience is an exception that proves the rule. I was lucky to find a job before the school year began, but not through the Yale Student Employment website. On a recommendation from a current student, I contacted a Yale librarian and set up an interview. This summer I drove to New Haven, met with the librarian, and by the start of the semester I was shelving books and cashing paychecks.

The process was quick, easy and relatively stress-free.

Those Yalies who must work

need to navigate a bewildering and bureaucratic job application process. This process concludes, not with a pat on the back and a pizza party, but with additional work and stress.

Freshman fall is already ripe with confusion — to add a pile of tax-forms and job interviews into the mix seems unnecessarily hard on work-study students. The YSE office is located inconveniently in the basement of a building on Whitney Avenue, the edge of campus. Jobs for freshmen are like exit-visas in the movie Casablanca; everybody wants one but nobody knows where to get one.

Because of this administrative maze, many freshmen do not apply for student jobs until after they arrive on campus.

Many wait until the third or fourth week of school to begin the process in earnest. The YSE office did not contact me about applying for an on-campus job. I received no pamphlet titled “So You Want to Be Employed!” Perhaps such an absence of handholding on the part of YSE is good, and learning how to apply for a job on one’s own teaches independence and self-sufficiency. But I would argue that work-study students are given undue stress that more privileged students will never have.

The student job application process is in dire straits. Students, especially freshmen, need advice on the types of jobs they should apply for, a list of necessary paperwork and tips on balancing classes, homework and their job. Every other facet of student life is addressed during the first weeks of school from shopping period to alcohol safety. Why isn’t work-study given the same attention? It seems laughable that a university with a $120 million financial aid budget is so apathetic to working students once they arrive on campus.

Work-study gives perspective, an appreciation for work outside the classroom and an understanding of the value of money. But at what cost are these things learned? What do work-study students lose while gaining these skills? Is Yale doing all it can to help students on financial aid earn the money they need to pay tuition? Perhaps the answer is to create a better support structure for work-study students, or perhaps the answer is buried in a stack of I-9s and W-4s.

YLS-FES students raise concerns

BY PHOEBE KIMMELMAN STAFF REPORTER As faculty members and administrators work on organizing community-building events for dual law-environment degree candidates, students are expressing different concerns — namely academic and curricular integration — about the decadeold program.

The dual-degree program, administered by the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy, offers students the opportunity to obtain a master’s degree from the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies and a law degree from either Yale Law School, Pace University School of Law or Vermont Law School in four years as opposed to the usual five. The program requires two and a half years of study at law school followed by one and a half years at the FES. YCELP associate director Josh Galperin FES ’09 said there is typically a total of 15 to 20 students enrolled in the program per year at the three participating universities.

Galperin said there is now a greater push to make students in the program, whether they are at law school or at FES, feel as though they are all part of one academic cohort.

“I want the students who are part of this program to feel like they are part of a network that can rely on each other,” Galperin said. “I really want these students to feel like they are part of the same team.”

Galperin said he has already hosted social events over the past year for students to get to know each other. However, to strengthen ties between stu-

dents, Galperin said he plans to organize more academicfocused group events. He said he hopes to host summer internship and research showcases as well as career information sessions with older students to build a stronger student-alumni network beginning next semester.

Dena Adler LAW ’16 FES ’16, a current student in the dualdegree program, said these events will need to be different from those already offered by career offices at FES and YLS to attract students’ attention.

In response to this concern, Galperin said he would make the events more specific to the needs and interests of participating students.

Three out of five students interviewed said they were already acquainted with other students at different stages of the program and felt strong ties to them through their mutual interest in environmental law and advocacy. While community building is not a major problem, they said, one weakness of the program is the disjointedness between the two different parts of the curriculum.

Joya Sonnenfeldt LAW ’16 FES ’16 said that though she has spent most of her time in the program so far at YLS, she has already met members of the program who are currently at FES. However, Sonnenfeldt added that she felt the law school component of the program was distinct from the FES component, and that the program did not feel like one continuous process.

Melissa Legge LAW ’16 FES ’16 also said the two parts of her experience are not fully integrated. She said that though, as

But Legge said working with more students in the dualdegree program would be helpful in navigating the often complex bureaucratic links between YLS and FES. Connie Vogelmann LAW ’14 FES ’14 said she experienced delays in her financial aid when she made the transition from YLS to FES and that a stronger administrative dialogue between

the schools have improved her experience in the program.

But YLS professor Daniel Esty, who advises dual-degree candidates, said it is up to students to integrate the different cultures of law school and forestry school.

“I think it’s inescapable that when you’re studying at YLS, you’ll have an experience, and it will be something of a different experience when you’re focusing on the environmental side of the dual degree,” Esty said.

Panel discusses homophobia in Russia

BY MALINA SIMARD-HALM CONTRIBUTING REPORTER Sitting shoulder-to-shoulder, roughly 50 people squeezed into a WLH classroom Tuesday afternoon to hear three leading experts discuss the intersection of law and sexual identity in Russia under Vladimir Putin.

Masha Gessen — known for her books “Words Will Break Cement: The Passion of Pussy Riot” and “The Man Without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin” and regular contributions to The New York Times and The Washington Post, among other publications — spoke to an audience of undergraduates, graduate students and professors about the history and current status of LGBT individuals in Russia. Gessen was joined by two panel members — Bruce Grant, a professor of anthropology at New York University, and Eliot Borenstein, professor of Russian and Slavic studies at NYU — in examining Putin’s role in recent Russian anti-gay legislation.

Gessen stressed the ideas of civilizational conflict as a source of homophobic policies and legislation as a tool for nationalistic assertion.

“In the past two and a half years, we have seen a birth of a [Russian] ideology of civilizational conflict

between Western and traditional civilization,” Gessen said. “Putin wants to remake Russia as the leader of the anti-Western world, as the defender of traditional families … using gay and lesbians as a form of the other.”

Gessen said there is a pervasive belief throughout Russia that the West is trying to impose its rhetoric of universal human rights on the rest of the world. To combat Western importation of social norms, Russia is positioning itself as the leader of traditional and anti-Western civilization, she said.

Borenstein added that the Western values of liberal democracy and tolerance are demonized under Putin’s regime.

This ideology has fueled the political crackdown and wave of anti-gay legislation that began two and a half years ago, Gessen said. The laws that were passed in that period, she added, are meant to be a symbol of the social attitude towards LGBT individuals more than actual legal measures, as they are seldom enforced.

Borenstein said homophobic hostilities are fueled by both hatred of the West and conspiracy theories rampant in society.

“There is a notion in Russia that the minority is immediately trying to dominate the majority and that gay and lesbians are going to take over,”

he said.

The issue of sexuality was never talked about in Russia until Putin came along, Gessen said. Once Putin started the conversation, she added, he gained the power to shape it.

Contrary to common belief, in the 1990s, Russia was actually more hospitable to conversations about gay and lesbian relationships, Borenstein said.

Audience members interviewed reacted strongly to the issues presented.

Kar Jin Ong ’17 said he found Gessen’s discussion of self-definition of Russian identity particularly intriguing.

“It seems that the Russian national identity is often defined by telling Russians what is not Russian,” he said. “It’s an interesting trope in history that we continually define who we are by means of exclusion.”

History and American Studies professor George Chauncey — who teaches the popular lecture class “U.S. Gay and Lesbian History” — said the issues Gessen presented are not unique to Russia. The anti-gay legislation that Americans condemn in Russia existed just recently in the U.S., he said.

components of the program cannot be completely resolved, but he does believe that hosting more group-based academic programs will build a student network to make this transition smoother.

YCELP program coordinator Susanne Stahl said the dualdegree student handbook, written last year, should also make the move from law school to forestry school more continuous by clearly outlining the relationship between FES and the program’s participating law schools.

“The handbook identifies and hopefully simplifies the key issues students might encounter,” Stahl said. “The hope is that having resources like this available [demystifies] the process and encourage[s] broader engagement — while marking the Center as a whole ... a go-to resource for students navigating the program.”

YCELP was founded in 1994.

Organized by local nonprofit Site Projects, the two-day event — which took place alongside talks from artists, dancers and others involved with the American hip-hop scene — was open to the public as a part of the organization’s “Art in the Park” series.

The skate park at Coogan Pavilion is a popular hangout for New Haven youth from the surrounding Westville neighborhood and is a prominent feature of New Haven’s skater scene. Until recently, it was covered with spraypainted tags. Site Projects’s weekendlong event drew members from all over New Haven, including the skaters who frequent the park.

Site Projects, which has been an active part of New Haven’s art scene since 2004, is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. According to Executive Director Laura Clarke, Art in the Park is just one facet of Site Projects’ plans to mark their 10th year in the Elm City.

“When we started, we said that New Haven had fantastic theater. It had everything you would want from museums, and great performing arts. What it didn’t have was temporary art in public places that was really chosen for and accessible to everybody. That’s where we saw a niche,” said Clarke, who is also one of Site Projects’ co-founders.

To do this, Site Projects commissions work from prominent international artists for installation in “spaces not typically associated with art,” according to its website.

In its 10 years of activity in New Haven, Site Projects has tackled a variety of installations and events — from Jason Hackenwerth’s jumbo balloon dinosaurs installed alongside the Peabody’s fossil collection in 2006, to Yvette Mattern’s laser light sculpture, “Night Rainbow,” which cut across the New Haven sky for three nights in April of 2013.

But according to Clarke, although the projects have consistently delighted the community, not all of Site Projects’s undertakings have come easily.

Because they rely primarily on private donations and grants, the recession threatened the progression of one of Site Projects’s most well-recognized contributions to the city: Italian muralist Felice Varini’s “Square with Four Circles.”

“It was supposed to cost about $200,000. In 2008, we weren’t too worried about that,” Clarke said. “But in 2009, the crash happened. We didn’t know what to do. We were stunned.”

Instead of giving up, she said, the group sought money from donors outside of New Haven.

Varini’s large red mural, completed in 2010 and still painted onto surfaces in the alleyway next to Zinc Restaurant on Chapel Street, continues to be one of Site Projects’ most well known installations.

“I think it transforms the urban space from an alley to a work of art that you want to return to,” said Ivy SandersSchneider ’17, who frequently passes the mural on her way to DJ at WYBC Yale Radio.

The success of the Varini mural contributed to Site Works’s new focus on permanent installations, such as their graffiti project in Edgewood’s skate park.

As coordinated with New Haven’s Parks Department, the murals will be around for a minimum of one year, after which the community will decide whether to keep or paint over them.

Rebecca Levinsky ’15, a member of the Yale Center for British Art studentguide program and a former production and design editor for the News, said that the experience of seeing art in public is inherently different from viewing it in a museum. Although she is not familiar with Site Projects, she said there is value in the type of public art the organization is commissioning.

“When you see art in a museum, it’s not just you and the art. It’s you and the art and the descriptive texts,” she said.

“When you take the effort to approach art in the public, it’s just you and the artwork.”

In the organization’s 10th year, Clarke said, reflection on their past work is as important as planning for the future of the organization.

“We want to talk about how public art has changed in New Haven, and in the country, and even around the world. The role of Site Projects changed because people have started bubbling up who want to participate in community art.

I’ve always said that one day there won’t be a need for Site Projects anymore.”

As part of its plans for this year, Site Projects has announced a series called “Catalyze + Celebrate: Commissions + Conversations,” intended to spur conversation about the role of art in the public realm. The organization also plans to launch ArtSites:NewHaven, a curated digital app dedicated to documenting New Haven’s public art, both commissioned and non-commissioned.

DONATION FROM PAGE 1 ment Joan O’Neill said that talks with Zhang and Pan began in the late spring and that the couple visited Yale over the summer. O’Neill added that she hopes Zhang and Pan’s gift will encourage others to “follow their lead.�

Since completing fundraising for Yale’s two new residential colleges this summer, Salovey has made financial aid one of his top fundraising priorities.

Dean of Undergraduate Admissions Jeremiah Quinlan said the donation complements existing initiatives to reach out to low-income, high-achieving students.

“This gift supports Yale’s efforts to create a learning environment that incorporates the widest possible range of student backgrounds,� Quinlan said.

Yale is the second university to receive a gift from the SOHO Fund — in July, Zhang and Pan gave $15 million to Harvard for the same purpose.Following the announcement of the Harvard gift, Zhang told Forbes Magazine that the foundation’s next target was Yale.

According to a document released by the Office of Public Affairs, over 500 Chinese students have attended Yale College and its graduate and professional schools in the last academic year. Over the past

decade, more students have come to Yale from China than any other country.

Despite excitement over the foundation’s new fund in the United States, the couple’s decision to donate to universities outside of China has been met with opposition within the country.

In an online article written for a Chinese news source — referenced in a Forbes article about the Chinese donation — Yao Shujie, a professor of economics at the University of Nottingham, criticized the couple for giving much of their wealth to American schools when their wealth came from China’s housing industry.

these laws could boost democratic voter turnout. Indeed, experts say that election reform would most significantly improve voter turnout from young people, minorities and individuals with lower income and lower education — demographics that tend to vote Democratic.

DeLauro added that election reform could ease voting for parents, commuters that work out of state and students. However, she said she believes that election reform does not necessarily translate into higher turnout in support of the Democratic Party.

Others at the press conference echoed DeLauro’s sentiment. Martin Mador ’71 FES ’02, legislative and political chair for the Sierra Club — an environmental advocacy organization — said the proposed election reforms could, in fact, increase turnout for both parties.

300 senior citizens. Harp and other leaders encouraged city and state residents to vote in favor of the Connecticut Early Voting Amendment on Tuesday. If passed, the proposed measure would amend a provision in Connecticut’s state constitution that restricts the legislature in making voting reforms.

While the amendment does not guarantee changes to the voting format, speakers said that, if approved, the amendment would allow the general assembly to consider changes to voting laws, including pushing for expanding access to absentee ballots. “I believe it’s time to extend voting rights of every eligible voter in Connecticut,� Harp said. “I also believe that opposition to extending voters’ rights has less to do with changes that would be considered and more to do with voter suppression.�

DeLauro followed Harp with an explanation of possible implications of approving the constitutional amendment.

She said that although many residents eligible to vote in Connecti-

cut are unable to reach their polling places, they are not eligible for an absentee ballot under the state’s current laws. “If the constitutional amendment passes, it will remove these restrictions from our Connecticut constitution,â€? DeLauro said. “Our general assembly ‌ will be able to have greater authority to pass a law that allows voters to cast their ballot without having to appear at their polling place on election day.â€?

According to Merrill, approving the constitutional amendment could put Connecticut on track to allow residents to mail in votes early, leading to higher voter turnout.

But Merrill said approving the ballot measure does not guarantee that election reformers will change the state’s electoral process. “If you vote yes, nothing changes immediately, because these laws are also in statute as well,� Merrill said.

According to Scott McLean, professor of political science at Quinnipiac University, changes to Connecticut’s absentee voting laws are unlikely to pass if the Republican candidate, Tom Foley, wins the gubernatorial race, considering

In the same Forbes article, several Chinese education professionals expressed frustration that the endowment money isn’t going towards addressing domestic Chinese issues.

Some claimed the donations are meant to increase the chances that Zhang and Pan’s son, who is attending high school in the U.S.,will be accepted to an American university.

Yi-Ling Liu ’17, who attended an international school in Hong Kong, said she thinks the gift will help diversify the demographic of Chinese students studying at Yale, as the majority of Chinese students currently

here tend to come from wealthier families. “My impression is that it is still very difficult and rare for Chinese students with limited means to attend a school like Yale,� Yi-Ling said. “I am preempting a much more socioeconomically diverse student body with a fund like this.�

Yi-Ling added that the gift, along with the recent opening of Yale Center Beijing, strengthens the relationship between the University and China. She noted that China is becoming a more prominent player in the world of academia.

Zoey Peterson ’17 said any fund that gives students access to a Yale education who might

otherwise be unable to attend is something the University can be proud of. She said the gift reflects the University’s shift towards becoming a more global institution, and it will contribute to defeating the notion that only the children of wealthy families can attend Yale. “Even before I got in [to Yale], my parents thought that Yale and the Ivies were schools for rich students,� Peterson said. “Everyone thought that it wasn’t enough to be smart.�

In 2001, Yale’s extended its need-blind admissions policy to international students.

Construction program graduates all-female class

BY JIAHUI HU CONTRIBUTING REPORTER The Construction Worker Initiative 2, Inc. — a six-month program that trains unemployed or underemployed New Haven County residents for construction careers — graduated its first and only all-female class on Oct. 23.

Since its first cycle in 1999, the CWI2 has annually trained between 200 and 300 males and females combined. However, this year, a national non-profit donor, Wider Opportunities for Women, requested that CWI2 consider running the program solely for women and for a shorter period of time — three months instead of the usual six. This stipulation from WOW only applies to 2014,

and next year the program will return to accepting both men and women.

Nichole Jefferson, the head of the Commission on Equal Opportunities and the director of the program, said that the edition this year was important for the community because many of the participants are the single heads of their households with no stable source of income.

“It allows women a lot of economic stability.” Jefferson said.

“Truthfully, many of the women find us through homeless agencies. Some of them are in very abusive domestic situations.”

Before joining the program, Jefferson added, most women worked odd-jobs — Dunkin’ Donuts, McDonalds and other low paying positions.

According to Jefferson, all of the participants lived at or below the poverty level, and most supported families on their own.

Only three graduates of the program were married, while almost all of them raised children at home. This year, 87 students graduated, a relatively low number compared to usual CWI2 classes, considering that only females were accepted.

Chris Cozzi, the chairman of the CWI2 Board, said he believes the program teaches not only construction, but also life skills.

Successful participants showed up at 6:30 a.m. every weekday and trained until 2:00 p.m. They also were required to regularly pass drug tests and participated in employability training, life coaching and math tutoring ses-

sions.

“It’s a huge career change, as well as exposure,” Cozzi said. “A big piece of what the program does is give them skills to help them succeed in the industry as well as match them up for industries in which they might have the right aptitude to be successful.”

Graduates are currently in the process of interviewing for positions with Connecticut building trade unions, which have first choice on how many and which graduates to hire. If successfully hired, participants enter the trade union as first year apprentices and work on construction sites that employ union members — such as the University’s new residential colleges and Sterling Chemistry Laboratory. Cozzi said Yale has signed contracts with local trade

unions committing to employ at least 20 percent New Haven residents, 25 percent minorities and 6.9 percent women on those two major projects.

The CWI2 has taken advantage of a growing number of construction projects in New Haven in the last decade. According to Ward 5 Alder and Board of Alders President Jorge Perez, New Haven Public Schools, for instance, have renovated 36 facilities in the past decade, and plans are in the works for a new high school. The CWI 2 is one of many working training initiatives, in addition to New Haven Works — a program that recruits for jobs at Yale and seeks to alleviate unemployment by training workers in active industries.

“We wanted to connect New

Parmesh Shahani, a 2014 World Fellow and LGBT activist, spoke about his career trajectory that led him to challenge cultural perceptions.

BY JACOB POTASH CONTRIBUTING REPORTER Parmesh Shahani had a twofold epiphany in 2009. Having just quit a Ph.D. program, while still mourning the recent death of his best friend, he realized that he did not want to do anything in life that he did not feel like doing and that he wanted to be a “connector” between disciplines, people and ideas.

Shahani, a 2014 World Fellow, has followed through on his resolutions. In front of a small group of undergraduates and World Fellows, he shared anecdotes from his colorful life at a Timothy Dwight college Tuesday Master’s Tea. In the latest incarnation of his career, he is head of a culture lab for Godrej, one of India’s biggest corporations. On the side, he is editorat-large for Verve, a fashion magazine, and an LGBT activist.

The culture lab Shahani runs is “format agnostic,” which means they host performances, debates, conferences and exhibitions that try to answer the question of what it means to

be modern and Indian. His other responsibilities at Godrej include advertising, communications, product design and human capital.

“I’m trying to make [corporations] agents of change, knowing full well that my bosses are fixated on next quarter and the next annual earning cycle,” he said. “I want to change the way that companies think of themselves.”

He said he credits the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he earned a masters in media studies, for transforming his life. His time there, he said, was “all about possibility and openness.” His thesis was published as a book in 2008 under the title “Gay Bombay: Globalization, Love and (Be)longing in Contemporary India.”

Shahani said he continues to speak on LGBT issues to MBA students and corporations in India, despite a 2013 Indian Supreme Court ruling reaffirming the criminal status of homosexual activity. Shahani said Indian homophobia is a legacy of British imperi-

alism, rather than Hindu tenants. The stigma around being gay, he added, is closely linked to the common notion of what it means to be a “good Indian,” which Shahani said he seeks to challenge in his work.

I want to change the way that companies think of themselves.

PARMESH SHAHANI 2014 World Fellow Wayne Zhang ’18 said he was impressed with Shahani’s insights.

“He gives off such an approachable demeanor,” Zhang said, “but when it comes down to being profound and saying things that are important, he just whips them out.”

Shahani’s reflections were especially poignant to some audience members. Nitika Khaitain ’16, who is from New Delhi, said the event was important to her because it

gave her a new perspective on a country she thought she knew.

For Lucy Hui ’15, the talk served as a reminder to focus on the big picture.

“As undergrads, a lot of the time we’re so focused on a single exam, or about one little thing that we think will affect our lives or ruin us,” Hui said.

“But then listening to him talk, it reminds you there’s so much out there, and we’re so young, and there’s so much possibility.”

Shahani also holds fellowships at TED, MIT, Utrecht University and the World Economic Forum. His past includes jobs at Mahindra, Sony, ELLE and Times of India. Between those stints he started India’s first youth website and worked in film. He quipped at one point that he never runs out of material for his monthly magazine column about his life.

Since the World Fellow program’s inception in 2002, there have been 257 fellows, representing 83 countries.

Haven residents with those who are looking for jobs to those industries that are hiring,” Perez said about CWI2.

Not all graduates of the program stay in construction work.

According to Jefferson, approximately 4,500 workers have successfully completed the program while only around 2,000 graduates are currently employed by the trade union. Jefferson said that reasons vary, but sometimes graduates decide they are not fit for a construciton career or cite industry prejudice against women.

Yale is set to begin construction on the new residential colleges in February 2015.

A new undergraduate publication has recently made its way onto Yale’s literary scene.

Established last month, The Yale Guidepost is a literary magazine that publishes short fiction by undergraduates. The publication was founded by Irene Connelly ’17 and Caroline Wray ’17, a staff reporter for the News, who said they came up with the idea for the magazine last spring after realizing that the University did not have a platform for publishing short fiction stories. Connelly said the publication aims to highlight a previously unexplored area of Yale’s literary community, noting that existing outlets for creative writing are mostly filled with other forms of composition.

“Most literary magazines are focused on poetry and will include short stories, but they aren’t dedicated to short fiction,” Connelly said.

The first Guidepost issue will arrive in December and will feature roughly 15 pieces, along with illustrations. Wray and Connelly said they hope to recruit roughly five illustrators for the issue in hopes that every featured piece will have an accompanying illustration.

Connelly said that both the submission and editing processes for Guidepost pieces will be lenient. She explained that the only requirement for submissions is that the piece be under 5,000 words in length, adding that she and Wray decided on a minimalist editing approach because they do not want to interfere with the writing styles of those who contribute to the magazine.

Wray and Connelly added that they hope to expand the magazine next semester by accepting more pieces or deciding on an overarching theme for the issue to focus on. As a broader goal, Connelly said

the publication aims to foster a stronger community of students that specialize in writing short fiction.

In order to launch the publication, Connelly applied for a Creative and Performing Arts Award through Branford College. The awards are given to support a variety of different on-campus creative productions, including literary publications. She and Wray added that they plan to register the Guidepost as an official undergraduate student organization in the near future.

Aryssa Damron ’18, who has already submitted a piece to the Guidepost, said she expressed interest in the magazine because of its inclusiveness to writers of all backgrounds, adding that unlike with other campus publications, she does not have to

Most literary magazines will include short stories […] but they aren’t dedicated to short fiction.

IRENE CONNELLY ’17 Co-founder, Yale Guidepost be funny or write with a certain tone to meaningfully contribute.

Skyler Inman ’17, a contributing reporter for the News who is considering submitting a piece to the Guidepost, said she is drawn to publications that focus on short fiction over those that only feature a few short stories as part of their issues. Inman said she thinks the Guidepost will play a unique role within the existing literary community that is currently not served by any other publication.

The deadline to submit a piece for the upcoming issue is this Nov. 1.

FROM THE FRONT Prosecutors oppose rehabilitation for Cho GOURMET HEAVEN FROM PAGE 1 dary-Alexander, the representative of six former Gourmet Heaven workers who suffered from the wage theft, said he thinks that the extent of Cho’s wage theft and his behavior throughout the Department of Labor investigation would most likely meet both of these criteria. Because the sum of stolen wages amounts to over $10,000, Cho faces a charge of first-degree larceny — a Class B felony.

One of the main criteria the Connecticut Supreme Court uses to decide whether to grant accelerated rehabilitation is the length of the sentence, as authorized by state statutes. The shorter the sentence, the more likely the applicant will be eligible.

According to Bhandary-Alexander, the aggregate of Cho’s offenses could lead to a long prison sentence, totalling “something like 145 years.”

“If you go by that standard, this qualifies as too serious [to grant accelerated rehabilitation],” he said.

Denison said that there is reason to believe that Cho will reoffend. After the DOL found that Cho was underpaying workers in August 2013 and explained what steps he needed to take to comply with the DOL, he continued to commit labor violations. After further negotiations, Cho agreed to pay $140,000 in back wages to 25 workers in three payment installments beginning in 2014. However, Cho failed to pay back the full extent of the payments, Denison said.

At Monday’s hearing, Leff emphasized that Cho has been cooperative throughout the DOL’s investigation, seeking to rectify the situation and willingly turning over wage records. He also displayed a petition signed by roughly 2,000 Gourmet Heaven customers over the last two months who supported Cho’s application for accelerated rehabilitation.

“It’s a primetime for our love and heaven is bettin’ on us.”

Gourmet Heaven owner Cho Chung has presented a petition with roughly 2,000 signatures from customers in support of his accelerated rehabilitation, despite counts for wage fraud.

Yet Evelyn Nunez ’15, president of MEChA de Yale, an undergraduate social justice group heavily involved in protests against Gourmet Heaven last year, said that she does not think the petition accurately reflects Yale students’ perceptions of Cho. “I think most likely the people who sign this petition probably are not familiar with anything that’s happened and don’t really know the incidences of wage theft that have happened at [Gourmet Heaven],” she said Nunez attended the Monday hearing to show her support for the workers. Although

she said a few other members of MEChA had expressed interest in coming, she did not see any other Yale students at the hearing.

The next hearing is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 3, at 2:00 p.m. The six workers that experienced wage theft who are represented by Bhandary-Alexander, as well as current Gourmet Heaven workers speaking in favor of Cho, are scheduled to testify.

margin in New Haven was especially necessary because the governor’s 6,404-vote victory in 2010 amounted to just a few votes’ margin per precinct. In an effort to encourage as many voters as possible to hit the polls next week, the Connecticut Democratic Party has used a “door-todoor, neighborhood-to-neighborhood” approach, according to Devon Puglia, spokesman for the state Democratic Party.

But Looney and Mauroboth agreed that this election year would have a lower voter turnout compared to 2010 because there is not a Senate seat up for grabs.

Despite the Democrats’ grassroots campaigning, in 2010, only 43 percent of eligible New Haven voters showed up to the polls.

Former Ward 10 Alder Justin Elicker FES ’10 SOM ’10, who ran against Mayor Toni Harp as an independent candidate last year and recently endorsed Malloy, said he noticed even less excitement around the election in the city this year.

“There hasn’t been as much as noise around this election in New Haven as there was four years ago,” Elicker said. “I know the Malloy campaign has been working to generate enthusiasm.”

Calling New Haven “critical” to Malloy’s reelection bid, Tickey said that he and his team

have frequently collaborated with the Yale College Democrats to encourage Yale students to vote.

He added that they have placed a particular emphasis on canvassing freshmen. DeLauro, for example, canvassed on Old Campus with the Yale College Democrats two weekends ago.

“It’s really important for young people to exercise their right to vote,” Tickey said.

In spite of these efforts, of 22 Yale students interviewed, only five intended to vote. Of the 17 students who did not intend to vote, 11 cited being registered in their home states.

Lucia Baca-Spezzacatena ’17 said she was voting in her home state of Florida because she knows Florida better and is more invested in the politics of her home state.

Harp has not yet endorsed Malloy, but City Hall spokesman Laurence Grotheer said her endorsement was implied.

Grotheer said Harp believes that a Malloy victory will benefit New Haven voters, adding that the mayor hopes Yale students will join her at the polls.

Thirty-six states will choose governors on Nov. 4, and, in nine of those states, polls have the leading candidate within the margin of error.

Yale lags in inaugural U.S. News international rankings RANKING FROM PAGE 1 to the other research institutions featured on the list as opposed to evidence of failure to reach out globally.

“The methodology of the ranking skews its accuracy and calls into question its value as a reflection of a school’s quality,” said Pamela Schirmeister, associate dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. “In this ranking, for example, more than 50 percent of a university’s place depends on factors related to publications, the first of which is sheer number. The larger the university’s faculty, the more publications it will have, and that number in turn affects four other ranking factors that contribute more than 50 percent of the weight in rankings.”

Yale School of Public Health Dean Paul Cleary also said he thought the methodology of the rankings was flawed, as the use of absolute numbers, such as the total number of citations, immediately gives larger universities like Harvard and UCLA an advantage.

Morse attributed Yale’s ranking to its focus on less researchcentric fields, such as English and history.

“Yale may be negatively impacted by this methodology because of its focus on the social sciences and humanities, which aren’t fields that use this system,” he said.

Schirmeister said most students applying to graduate school are more concerned with the quality of the specific field they wish to pursue, so the fact that Yale is ranked 17th as a whole will probably not play much of a role in their decision-making. She also said most applicants choose based on specific faculty members and their knowledge about the specifics of individual departments, making rankings irrelevant, both for students applying from within the

U.S. or internationally.

Administrators also questioned Yale’s ranking as 108th in international collaboration. Shana Schneider, communications director for the Office of International Affairs, said Yale has successful collaborations all around the world, including in China, Brazil, Singapore, Mexico and the UK. But Sandy Wongwaiwate ’17, an international student from Thailand, said she believes Yale could make more efforts to reach out abroad.

“I think Yale is beginning to expand more internationally, but it is still behind other top schools, for example Harvard,” Wongwaiwate said. Wongwaiwate added that she consulted online rankings when applying to colleges.

Madeline Tomlinson ’17, a student from England, said that while she did not look at college rankings when applying to college, she had already known that Yale was supposedly one of the best universities in the United States, which was part of what attracted her to the school.

Isabel Hummel ’17, a student from Germany, said she thinks international applicants would pay attention to the global rankings, due to the investment these students are preparing to make when they study abroad in the United States. Because most schools in Europe are either free or relatively inexpensive, international students want to make sure they’re getting the best of the best when they come to America, Hummel said.

Michael Goran, director of and founder of Ivy Select college counseling, said the international students he works with often look at the rankings and sometimes mistake them as the official U.S. ranking of American universities. Still, Goran said it was unlikely that the rankings would affect Yale’s num-

“The overarching thing is that the focus [of the global rankings] is not on the separate undergraduate or graduate programs, but specifically on the school’s academic research and reputation,” Goran said. “On the undergraduate level, is that going to affect international applicants coming to the states?

sincerely don’t think so.”

“Risk something or forever sit with your dreams.” HERB BROOKS 1980 OLYMPIC HOCKEY COACH

Freshman finds success

The Ivy League landscape FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 12 Two squads remain perfect in the Ivy League — Dartmouth and Harvard — and Yale will need both of them to lose a game if it hopes to claim a share of the title. Yale has yet to play Harvard, so a win at Harvard Stadium to close out the 2014 campaign would give the Bulldogs a shot at the title.

The most Yale can do about Dartmouth, however, is hope for a stumble by the Big Green. The northernmost Ivy team has Harvard, Cornell, Brown and Princeton still on its schedule, with Harvard and Princeton providing the best opportunity for a Dartmouth defeat.

Assuming Yale wins out — by no means an easy feat — a Harvard win over Dartmouth would give Yale a two- or three-way share of the title with the Crimson and the Big Green. If Dartmouth beats Harvard, however, Yale would then rely on a Dartmouth loss from either Cornell, Brown or Princeton to share the title with the Big Green.

But if either Dartmouth or Harvard wins out, or if Yale fails to do so, the Elis have effectively no shot at an Ivy title.

RED HOT CRIMSON

For most of this season, while Yale wowed fans, opponents and analysts alike with its offense, its archrival, Harvard, was winning in a quieter fashion.

Until last week, the Crimson maintained an undefeated record through less impressive victories, winning with scores of 22–14 and 24–7 against Brown and Cornell, respectively. Compared to Yale’s 30-point average margin of victory in conference games, this makes Yale’s rival seem not only beatable, but even perhaps the underdog heading into Nov. 22.

But that neglects one factor: Conner Hempel, Harvard’s senior quarterback, missed four games with an injury this season.

Upon his return, Hempel made a strong statement, lighting up a Princeton squad that was ranked first in the preseason poll, passing for 382 yards and three touchdowns en route to the Crimson’s 49–7 destruction

of the Tigers.

In an event of symbolic significance, Hempel and Yale quarterback Morgan Roberts ’16 shared honors as Ivy League cooffensive players of the week on Monday.

In the only two games Hempel has played in, Harvard has scored over 40 points. He may be the key to overcoming Yale’s offense come The Game.

Although this year’s rendition of college football’s most historic rivalry is shaping up to be closer than last’s, Harvard’s domination of a squad as talented as Princeton assures that there is still reason to be wary of the Crimson this season.

A DIVIDING LINE

As for the rest of Ivy League football, it seems to have split into two clearly defined tiers, save for one team.

Harvard, Dartmouth, Princeton and Yale all remain contenders for an Ivy League title, with the only two Ivy losses among these four teams being Yale’s loss to Dartmouth and Princeton’s to Harvard.

Princeton was undefeated in the Ivy League until that blowout loss to Harvard. The Tigers also fell 31–30 in a non-conference matchup against Colgate, a team that Yale defeated by two scores a week later.

Penn, Cornell and Columbia, meanwhile, are all in the midst of disappointing seasons.

Columbia has not won a game since 2012, Cornell is 0–6 with a 21-point average margin of defeat and Penn’s only victory in its season was against Columbia. Cornell and Columbia are likely waiting eagerly for their matchup on Nov. 15, the only game that either of them seems to have a chance at winning.

Brown, with a 42–16 win over Cornell and fairly close losses to Harvard and Princeton, is an unknown in the middle. The Bulldogs’ contest in Providence on Nov. 8 will be indicative of both squads’ abilities.

Before that test of Yale’s skill, the Bulldogs take a trip to New York to face Columbia on Saturday. Kickoff is at 12:30 p.m.

“When the coaches told me I was going to man mark these players, I was proud that they felt that I could do the job well. I was nervous, but I’m also very competitive, so playing someone almost one-on-one was thrilling the whole game,” Hudson said.

The Yale defensive unit has been the driving factor for many of the points the team has earned in Ivy League play.

The team has only allowed two goals in five conference games. This defensive prowess, in addition to stellar goalkeeping performances, has given the Bulldogs the

best defensive performance in the entire league, keeping adversaries to just .40 goals on average per game.

“Although saves are counted equally in the statistics, the defense has been really good about stepping to the ball and preventing shots from close in so that I’m able to make the save,” goalkeeper Elise Wilcox ’15 said.

Hudson’s defensive abilities have been encouraged by her upperclassmen teammates. She added that everyone on the team was supportive and welcoming when the freshmen first joined the team, which provided them with the comfort needed to play at the top of their game.

Though defensive play-

ers do not usually gain the same statistical recognition as offensive players and goalkeepers, Hudson’s manner of play has not gone unnoticed.

After her performance in the Harvard game, Hudson was named Ivy League Rookie of the Week.

Besides an encouraging team and set of coaches behind her, Hudson said that her real inspiration is her family. She thanks them for giving her the opportunity to participate in soccer and for their support throughout her career.

With only two games left in the season, both against Ivy League opponents, Hudson and the Bulldogs are focusing on winning out and rais-

HENRY EHRENBERG/SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER

MEN’S SOCCER FROM PAGE 12 admirably all season, UConn launched a barrage of shots, firing eight in the first half and another 12 in the second, compared to a paltry Yale offensive showing that produced just five.

However, for most of the game, the Bulldogs played bendnot-break defense, allowing shots but forcing the opponents to take low percentage opportunities. In fact, in spite of the Huskies’ 23 shots, gatekeeper Blake Brown ’15 was forced to make just five saves in 110 total minutes of play.

“I’m really proud of the team — we held our own against a very good Uconn team and were unlucky to lose in the last minutes of overtime,” said Henry

Flugstad-Clarke ’17. “The team played really well, and Blake Brown had a great game again.”

Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, Yale’s defense could only hold up for so long under the pressure of a Husky offensive onslaught. Although Yale desperately needed an offensive push, the Bulldogs were able to produce only one shot on target during the game and were held shot-less in both overtime periods. Ultimately, the Elis failed to produce in the clutch, unable to find any offensive groove in a game that would have been a massive upset had the Elis won.

“I would say that starting in the second half of the game, [the Huskies] had more possession of the ball as fatigue started to set in with our players,” midfielder

Conner Lachenbruch ’15 said.

For most of the night, UConn forward Ethan Vanacoredecker tormented Yale’s defense, leading the match with eight shots of his own and four on target.

His statistical offensive production single-handedly out-paced Yale’s as a team. However, it was Marco Beso Adria who proved UConn’s game-winning hero.

In the 103rd minute, Adria launched a shot from the top right corner of the box, for his third goal of the season and giving the Huskies the lead with just seven minutes left to play.

In spite of Brown’s heroic goalkeeping against VanacoreDecker and seeing 22 of the 23 total shots sail away, the Yale defense finally broke down after an impressive 103-minute

stand.

“I thought overall we did a solid job of negating their attacks and just got unfortunate to let in a goal,” said Keith Bond ’16. “UConn has some really skilled players, so we knew coming in we were going to have to contain them and play a tactically disciplined game. We were very patient on defense.”

Ultimately, a lack of offense proved Yale’s undoing once more. The Elis have scored just six goals in 14 games, with zero repeat goal scorers, and have been unable to find a consistent rhythm.

More than a game BASEBALL FROM PAGE 12

UConn took 23 shots to Yale’s five in last night’s contest. A strong defensive effort took the game to double overtime.

ing their standing from fifth place. While the team looks forward to the opportunity to compete against more conference opponents, Hudson said the Bulldogs’ performance so far this year has been solid.

“The team this year has been extraordinary. We are all so close and I think we are playing great soccer. Unfortunately, some games haven’t gone our way, but we go out and we play our hearts out every game,” Hudson said.

S a t u rd a y ’s m a tc h u p against Columbia is Senior Day. Play begins at 4 p.m. at Reese Stadium.

EVEN IN THE LIGHT OF TRAGEDY, THE BEAUTY OF BASEBALL IS MORE OBVIOUS THAN EVER Baseball is a team sport played by individuals and, for most of the regular season, this is exactly how it seems. But in the playoffs something different happens. All of a sudden, those collections of individuals become teams, fueled by emotion and passion and, as Matheny put it, love.

This abstract part of the game is what makes playoff baseball so fun to watch. It is what sent Torii Hunter flipping over a fence at Fenway last year in an unsuccessful attempt to rob a game-tying grand slam.

It is what led to Luis Gonza-

lez’s walk-off single in game seven of the 2001 World Series.

It is what made possible Dave Roberts’ infamous steal in the historic 2004 ALCS. It is every fist pump, every pig pile, every walk-off and every last moment of pure magic that fans wait for all year.

Baseball is a game of failure and thus a game that rewards consistency. But it seems that the rules of averages and probability don’t apply in October.

When the outcome of a sixmonth-long season rests on a seven game series, anything can happen. Averages are what get teams to October; heart is what makes them come out on top.

It’s this heart that makes watching teams in October special. And it’s in the fall that groups of individuals become teams and teams become families. There is a love — of the game, of teammates, of the fans — that becomes apparent during this time of the season, and it sure is fun to watch.

Taveras’ sudden death is nothing short of tragic. Baseball has lost a great young talent, the Cardinals have lost a teammate and many others have lost a friend. But from his death and reflections on it, we have been reminded of what makes baseball so special. We are reminded that it’s just a game. But we are also reminded that, when played right, it can feel like so much more.

ARTS & CULTURE Artists, scholars discuss pioneer record label

WA LIU/PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR

Last night, Yale’s African-American Studies department hosted a discussion on a vinyl reissue project titled, “The Rise and Fall of Paramount Records.” Guests included famed record label owners Jack White and Dean Blackwood.

BY JED FINLEY CONTRIBUTING REPORTER Last night, a group of music industry executives and cultural scholars gathered to celebrate the legacy of one of America’s first record labels.

Yale’s African-American Studies department welcomed artist and Third Man Records owner Jack White and Revenant Records owner Dean Blackwood to a discussion focusing on the second installation of their recent vinyl reissue project, “The Rise and Fall of Paramount Records.”

The two were joined by authors Greil Marcus and Scott Blackwood, and artist Adia Victoria.

Hundreds of people attended the event, which took place in an overcrowded Battell Chapel.

In her opening remarks, Afri-

can-American studies and theater studies professor Daphne Brooks emphasized the historical importance of Paramount Records as a record label that gave a voice to artists who otherwise may not have had a chance to showcase their talents.

“This is people being who they were: complicated, changeable, human,” she said. “This is the music of a people, many of whom are gone but not forgotten.”

The event primarily consisted of a listening session in which each speaker selected two songs from the Paramount Records collection to showcase the record label’s cultural impact. White had the audience listen to a pair of blues songs — Blind Blake’s “Diddy Wah Diddy” and Charley Patton’s “Spoonful Blues.” Marcus followed the blues theme in

choosing “Hard Time Killin’ for Blues” by Skip James and “Last Kind Word Blues” by Geeshie Wiley. White said he chose “Spoonful Blues” because of the song’s emotional intensity as well as its blend of religious and secular themes.

Paramount Records operated from 1917 until 1932, employing obscure artists from minority communities and selling records to minority groups, thereby capitalizing on the so-called “race record” industry. Dean Blackwood highlighted Paramount’s surprising origins, noting that the company began as a manufacturer of speaker cabinets. He noted that Paramount was initially the Wisconsin Chair Company, adding that the company started producing records as a means of boosting its speaker

cabinet sales.

Blackwood emphasized that Paramount produced the firstever solo artist recordings, noting that before these records existed, practically all recorded music was of large ensembles, such as orchestras and big bands.

He said that the music of many early American folk, gospel, jazz and blues artists would not have been preserved had Paramount not been so widely accepting of minority voices, adding that musicians such as Louis Armstrong were among those discovered by Paramount.

But Dean Blackwood noted that Paramount’s recording policy was grounded in more of an economic than an artistic or social objective. He explained that because the company’s primary aim was to sell their speaker

cabinets and also could not afford to sign major artists, it was willing to record the music of any artist as long as that music could generate revenue for the business.

“They had no preservationist mission. They had no egalitarian mission. Nothing like that,” Blackwood said. “But they were uniquely comprehensive in their representing people who otherwise would be without a voice, especially in what they called ‘race records,’ which where black performers marketed to black audiences.”

Seven attendees interviewed said they decided to attend the event because they were admirers of Jack White’s music, but learned a great deal about the impact of Paramount Records on American music. John Flynn ’18

said he thinks the project is significant in raising public awareness of a topic that had remained in obscurity for nearly a century.

White highlighted the profound but unintended historical consequences of Paramount’s recordings, given the fact that the company never expected its records to be of any cultural value or influence.

“What’s beautiful about Paramount, though, is … the accidental capturing of American culture for the sake of a dollar,” White said.

The first volume of “The Rise and Fall of Paramount Records’”was named Best New Reissue by Pitchfork Media in 2013.

Students transform mythical tale

BY MICHELLE LIU CONTRIBUTING REPORTER A new production will explore a classic myth through music and talking stones.

“Eurydice” by Sarah Ruhl opens tomorrow night at the Whitney Theater. The play is based on the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, but looks at the story from Eurydice’s perspective as she journeys through the underworld. The production is a senior project of Lucie Ledbetter ’15, who plays Eurydice, and Leah Osterman ’15, who is directing the show. Ledbetter suggested that this change in the myth underscores the importance of Eurydice’s relationship with her father over her romance with Orpheus.

“In our production and in my interpretation of the character, the story is not about the tragedy of Orpheus and Eurydice not being united, but rather the triumph of Eurydice finding her independence and being reunited with her father,” Ledbetter said.

The storyline revolves around Eurydice’s marriage to Orpheus, her death and her subsequent journey to the underworld, where Orpheus attempts to save her. In Ruhl’s version of the myth, Eurydice encounters her father in the underworld. Ledbetter said she was drawn to “Eurydice” because of a playwriting class she took with Ruhl two years ago. Ledbetter noted that she believes several of the play’s themes are similar to the types of challenges that many college students go through, such as the process of becoming an adult and confronting the future.

Osterman said she and Ledbetter wanted the play to feel timeless and self-contained.

According to producer Alison Mosier-Mills ’17, the costumes reflect this timelessness, as they do not correspond to a

specific time period. This idea of “Eurydice” as a world without outside associations, Ledbetter added, allows the production to resonate with a broader audience.

Ledbetter said that one prominent feature of the show is the pool of water on stage — a technical feat that producer Alison Mosier-Mills ’17 said rarely occurs in Yale productions.

Set designer David ShatanPardo ’15 said the set incorporates water into all parts of the show. The stage, Shatan-Pardo said, will include a boardwalk and sewer pipes. He noted that the challenge in designing the set lay in Ruhl’s stage directions, which mandate that the stage itself should not change dramatically even as the play’s setting shifts from the land of the living to the land of the dead.

The network of sewer pipes from which water will also flow on stage is another feature that was made specifically for the production, Mosier-Mills said.

Shatan-Pardo said that the pipes will serve as a visual contrast to the rest of the set, which will resemble a beach.

Ledbetter added that the production will also feature original music compositions of Gideon Broshy ’16. She explained that the continuous music and sound throughout the play are integral to the show’s design because Orpheus is a musician, while Eurydice fails to comprehend music, so the music embodies the tension within their relationship.

“We see the play as a symphony,” Ledbetter said. “Sarah Ruhl actually wrote it in three movements, so it’s structurally very musical, and we wanted to reflect that in the set design of the piece.”

Performances of “Eurydice” will run through Nov. 1.

Exhibit honors design legend

Play to revisit Salem witch trials

BY JOEY YE CONTRIBUTING REPORTER

MICHELLE CHAN/CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER

Curated by Molly Dotson, the Sterling Memorial Library’s “Paul Rand: Pioneer by Design” exhibit celebrates the life of Paul Rand.

BY SARA JONES STAFF REPORTER A new exhibition at Sterling Memorial Library aims to celebrate the life of an iconic graphic designer.

Located in the library’s Memorabilia Room, “Paul Rand: Pioneer by Design” opened on Sunday and features a variety of the designer’s works, including maga z i n e a d ve r t i s e m e n t s , illustrations for children’s books and writings on design theory. The exhibition is curated by Molly Dotson, special collections librarian; Jae Rossman, assistant director for special collections and Holly Hatheway, assistant director for collections, research and access services. Dotson highlighted Rand’s longstanding relationship with the University and said that the exhibit was conceived as a commemoration of the designer’s centennial — he would have turned 100 years old this August.

“We wanted to showcase the wealth of materials available in archival collections, as well as focus on his writings and his teaching here at Yale,” Dotson said. “The goal is to showcase the Paul Rand

papers as a resource for students, classes and researchers.”

Organized in roughly chronological order, the objects in the exhibition follow various stages of Rand’s career. During his early years, Dotson said, the designer engaged heavily in editorial design and advertising.

Examples from this period of his career include a handful of cover designs for “Direction” — an anti-fascist cultural magazine — completed in the late 1930s and early 1940s.

Dotson noted that Rand’s commercial design vocabulary drew heavily upon concepts adapted from European avant-garde influences.

“For him, design was about problem-solving,” Dotson said. “He took various design principles from modern art trends, but always brought it back to the particular problems of a specific project or client.”

On the advertising end of the spectrum are a series of designs for an air freshening product called “Airwick,” Frazer Manhattan luxury cars, Coronet Brandy and El Producto cigars, whose advertisements and packag-

ing feature swaths of palm green and flamingo-pink, as well as Panama hats and playing cards.

Amounting to much more than tongue-in-cheek visuals and witty wordplay, Rand’s formal advertising vocabulary was revolutionary, Dotson said. She explained that in Rand’s designs, text and images were directly integrated into a cohesive whole for the first time in the history of graphic design. Previously, she noted, the pictorial and verbal elements of advertisements appeared as physically separate entities.

The exhibition also features examples of the designer’s “corporate identity” work, including a variety of logos for a number of corporations — IBM’s, with its horizontally-striped block capitals, is still in use today.

Samples of Rand’s own writings on design theory and lesser-known selections, such as the four-part series of children’s books that he and his wife jointly produced, appear in the exhibit as well.

Dotson said the concluding section of the exhibition focuses on Rand’s career at Yale, where he joined the fac-

ulty in 1956 — five years after the University established the nation’s first graduate program in graphic design.

Rossman said this portion of the exhibit touches upon the designer’s relationship with the School of Art. Along with a collection of prints he designed for the school, there are projects Rand assigned his graduate students, including the redesign of a Parcheesi game board.

Mark Saba, who designed the exhibit’s banner and online promotional materials as well as the show’s section labels, said that as a graphic designer, he is glad that the University is showcasing Rand’s work and revisiting the importance of his career.

“I think the thing that separates Paul Rand from other designers is his willingness to use design as a functional tool, but that gives something commercial a meaning and an identity,” added prospective architecture major Natalie Sheng ’17, who visited the exhibit.

Paul Rand: Pioneer by Design will be on view through Jan. 30.

This Halloween, students will be invited on a witch hunt with members of the undergraduate theater community.

“The Crucible,” written by Arthur Miller, opens tomorrow night at the Off-Broadway Theatre. Penned during the 1950s, the play is set in colonial Massachusetts during the Salem witch hunts — when members of the community accused each other of witchcraft, leading to a number of incarcerations and even executions. The play was written as a social commentary on the 20th-century Red Scare when Wisconsin Sen. Joe McCarthy falsely accused many of harboring communist beliefs. Noam Shapiro ’15, the show’s director, said that the ruthlessness of the prosecutors and eagerness of the neighbors to turn against each other in the play provides insight into many aspects of human nature.

“This particular production looks at what happens when a community falls apart and how a community, on one hand, strengthens itself by creating a sense of camaraderie and, on another, also eats itself from within,” Shapiro said. “That is what happened in both circumstances: You had friends and neighbors turning on each other.”

With 24 total actors and actresses, the play features the largest undergraduate cast of the semester. Aviva Abusch ’18, the production’s stage manager, noted that several of the principle roles in the show are being played by freshmen.

Shapiro said actors will initially be sitting amongst audience members and will, at certain points in the show, stand up and become a part of the show.

He explained that by having the actors in the audience, the audience members will be able to actively engage in the drama.

“When you visit the show, you immediately become a part of the community,” said Shapiro.

“You’re not just a spectator, but

you’re also a participant in the story and in the theatrical creation of this show.”

Shapiro said the production uses collaborative story theater, a process in which all of the actors are involved in every aspect of the show. All of the actors are needed to light the show, to create the different effects and to move the different sets, he noted.

All ensemble members interviewed emphasized the collaborative nature of the show’s creative process. Abusch mentioned that every actor personally met with the director to go over the thought process of his or her character as well as how the character is tied to the whole story.

“So much of the rehearsal time has been spent really picking out the details and emotions of the characters’ beings at every moment,” Abusch said.

Cast members interviewed said that the play was originally set to be performed in Connecticut Hall or Marquand Chapel in order to more closely match the play’s setting. Shapiro said that although the play is now taking place in the Off-Broadway Theater, the space will no longer look like a regular theater, but instead will look like a communal meeting hall.

Laurel Lehman ’17, the show’s producer, said that in order to stay true to the time period in which the play is set, the production design was conceived through a minimalistic approach. Shapiro explained that actors will be using flashlights on stage instead of traditional lighting and that sound effects will be created using various household objects. The play will also incorporate various Puritan hymns throughout the show in order to more accurately reflect the era.

“The nature of the production is bare bones,” Lehman said.

“I think it’s theater at its rawest, and at that point, I also think its theater at its rarest.”

Twenty people were executed during the Salem witch trials.

New grant promotes Chinese scholarship

BY CAROLINE WRAY STAFF REPORTER A newly funded initiative from the department of East Asian languages and literatures aims to make pre-modern Chinese texts more accessible to scholars.

Named after an eighth-century poem by Chinese poet Du Fu, the Ten Thousand Rooms Project hopes to craft a new online platform for people around the world to collaborate on transcribing, translating and analyzing ancient Chinese writings dating back as far as the 13th century B.C.E. The project — which is being spearheaded by East Asian languages and literatures professors Tina Lu and Mick Hunter — was launched after the University received a three-year, $430,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation last month. Lu compared the proposed platform to sites such as Wikipedia, noting

that she hopes the online database will be constantly updated as new research emerges.

“Nobody has, so far, attempted a platform like this,” Lu said. “It is an ongoing project that just gets more and more refined.”

The project is split into two areas of development. The technical development aspect — led by the Yale Digital Collections Center — will create the online platform and beta versions of sources, translations and annotations, while the community development will look to gain scholarly recognition and recruit contributors, nationally and internationally.

The technical team assembled at the YDC2, as the digital collections center is known, began to develop the platform earlier this month, according to project coordinator Carly Bogen.

She said the technical development will occur in three phases,

all scheduled to be completed by fall 2016. The first phase, currently underway, is dedicated to the development of the web portal that will ultimately host the platform as well as subsequent test projects to assess the portal’s function. The second phase, Bogen said, will allow for the viewing and creation of scholarly annotations to accompany the translations that will appear on the platform.

Hunter emphasized that perhaps the largest goal of the project was making the Chinese tradition more accessible to the general public. Lu said non-academics might also help with contributions to the site.

“There are a lot of people out there who love [certain premodern works], who are not affiliated with a university, who, I think, would really enjoy channeling their energies to doing textual work on a novel online,”

she said, adding that in compiling many types of research, the project aims to connect readers, scholars and academic work that is currently scattered.

The infrastructure of the program will build off of the work that the YDC2 has done since 2012 for the Digitally Enabled Scholarship with Medieval Manuscripts program, a partnership with Stanford University that sought to improve online access to the study of medieval documents. The DESMM utilizes the Canvas Viewer/Mirador tool and the Image Study Service, which are designed to improve access to transcribed documents as well as their accompanying annotations.

The Ten Thousand Rooms Project intends to use the same tools and design to allow a site visitor to simultaneously view an original source, a translation, commentary and a translation of that commentary. This tool will be

invaluable, Lu and Hunter said, for particularly ancient works that may be written on a medium such as an ancient bamboo stalk.

Lu said the platform will be particularly useful for the study of ancient Chinese because most ancient texts have numerous translations, rather than a single universally agreed-upon version.

The hope with the Ten Thousand Rooms Project, she noted, is that a reader could simultaneously view two different versions of a page of text, as well as another window that would point out specific places the versions differ. Lu added that she believes this option will grant a far more comprehensive reading experience than what is currently available to scholars.

To further develop the platform’s collection of texts, Lu and Hunter said they plan to give talks and spread word of their website, as well as approach

other Chinese literature scholars to contribute their research.

Hunter said they hope to recruit “some of the big fish of Chinese scholarship” from around the world.

“We’re looking for the ‘dark matter’ of the academic world,” Lu said. “That project you already wrote a book about, but you have a filing cabinet full of stuff? We want the filing cabinet.

We want the stuff that hasn’t hit the light of day.”

The grant’s term will conclude in September 2017, when Hunter said they presume they will continue to work on improving the platform into a long-term collection.

The Mellon Foundation has given Yale 214 separate grants since 1969, amounting to a total of $78.5 million.

Six games into its season, the Yale football team is outperforming virtually all expectations.

After defeating Penn this weekend, the squad’s record now stands at 5–1. Once ranked fifth in the preseason Ivy League media poll, the team has now become a power that

no defense, not even Football Bowl Subdivision opponent Army, has been able to completely stop.

What that means for the Bulldogs (5–1, 2–1 Ivy) is that the annual goal of winning the Ancient Eight, which has not been done since 2006, now looks realistic.

But Yale still has four more Ivy opponents to defeat, including Princeton and Harvard. And one

pesky 38–31 loss to Dartmouth leaves the Bulldogs with no margin for error in their final games.

What is more, Yale is not entirely in control of its own destiny — other teams’ records will impact the Elis’ chances at the Ivy League title.

Bulldogs fall to Huskies in 20T

More than just baseball For baseball fans, it doesn’t get much better than October. It has given us Curt Schilling’s bloody sock, Kirk Gibson’s infamous pinch-hit home run and Willie Mays’ iconic over-the-shoulder catch. We have watched Carlton Fisk wave a home run fair and a bearded Brian Wilson strike out the side. And this year, October has given fans the chance to watch two wild card teams compete in the World Series.

October is Christmas in the world of baseball. But amid the excitement, fans were given pause Sunday by the news of Cardinals outfielder Oscar Taveras’ tragic death.

The 22-year-old Taveras, an elite prospect for St. Louis, was killed in a car accident at home in the Dominican Republic on Sunday, along with his girlfriend.

There is much to be said in the wake of this tragedy that has shaken up the baseball community. Just over two weeks ago, Taveras hit a game-tying pinch-hit home run against the San Francisco Giants in Game Two of the National League Championship Series.

The news has devastated teammates, friends and fans, but it was Cardinals manager Mike Matheny who best articulated the impact of Taveras’ death.

“In my opinion, the word ‘love’ is the most misused and misunderstood word in the English language,” Matheny said. “It is not popular for men to use this word, and even less popular for athletes. But, there is not a more

The Huskies, in spite of an impressive record in the American Athletic Conference, have actually struggled in their non-conference matchups, playing sub .500 soccer and failing to live up to their gaudy AAC stats. Yale provided them with just their third non-conference victory — though it did not come easily. Against a talented Eli defense that has performed

For the Yale women’s soccer team, having 10 new players in the class of 2018 is unusual, especially for a team with only seven seniors, seven juniors and six sophomores.

With 30 players on the squad, the freshmen had to prove their skills early on, and Hudson did just that.

Hudson’s stunning start as an Eli was just the beginning — she has continued to have a remarkable season.

“Since I play defense, I don’t usually score, so that made scoring all the more exciting,” Hudson said.

“The fact that it was our team’s first goal of the season just added on to that.”

Of the team’s 13 games, Hudson has started in 12, including all five conference games. In the Ivy League games, she has been matched up against some of the toughest offensive players around.

Against Harvard, Hudson faced off with Margaret Purce, the 2013 Ivy League Player of the Year. Purce is currently tied for second in the league with six goals, as well as in second place for most shots in the league. Hudson did her job in the match and kept Purce from scoring
