Racist signs found on Old Campus

Ben bites back. At the Republican presidential debate last night, Ben Carson ’73 quipped about recent media scrutiny of his autobiography, “Gifted Hands.” “First of all, thank you for not asking me what I said in the 10th grade,” Carson said to an applauding crowd. The candidate added that he had no problem being vetted, but said certain news outlets were falsely accusing him of lying.

Elm City, Mayor Toni Harp and the New Haven Veterans Affairs Advisory Committee will host the city’s annual Veterans Day celebration at the Center Church on the Green this morning at 11 a.m.

The event will feature musical performances and will be followed by a placement of wreaths at war memorials around the city.

And we’ll never be royals.

As Yale students and administrators alike debate the renaming of Calhoun College, several students at Harvard Law School are calling on the institution to change its seal, which has ties to a 18th-century slaveholder.

The image on HLS’ seal is borrowed from Isaac Royall Jr.’s family crest. The Royalls, a Massachusetts family, made the bulk of its fortune through the slave trade.

Free the pizza. In an email to Ezra Stiles students early this morning, Master Stephen Pitti announced that the MorseStiles dining hall, with its famous brick-oven pizza, would be open to all students prior to 6:30 p.m. for the rest of the week. The decision to suspend the “no transfers” rule, Pitti said, is in the spirit of building community in light of recent troubling campus events.

The Republican National Committee, in charge of organizing last night’s GOP debate in Milwaukee, made the event Wi-Fi password “StopHillary.” The frontrunner in the Democratic race, Hillary Clinton LAW ’73, has been referenced by several Republican candidates as the main opposition in the race.

Happy Veterans Day. Speaking of Clinton, yesterday the 2016 candidate announced her plan to reform the Department of Veteran Affairs in honor of Veterans Day today. At a New Hampshire campaign event, Clinton said she would, if elected, conduct a review of the government agency to identify problems such as staffing challenges and high operating costs.

The day after more than 1,000 students marched in a show of solidarity for minority students, University President Peter Salovey and Yale College Dean Jonathan Holloway released a statement on acceptable forms of protest as well as the importance of diversity and freedom of speech on campus. The same day, more than 200 faculty members signed an open letter in support of minority students.

In a Tuesday email to the Yale community, Salovey and Holloway wrote about the importance of two University principles: respect for diversity and as freedom of speech and expression. Their joint email comes after more than a week of student protests, forums and closed-door discussions between students and administrators.

While Salovey and Holloway each sent individual emails late last week affirming the need for the University to do better in light of racial controversies on campus, their joint Tuesday email sent a clearer message: While all students have the right to protest and counter-protest, they do not have the right to engage in “threats, coercion and overtly disrespectful acts.” Salovey told the News that student protests cannot infringe on a speaker’s right to be heard.

Signs bearing racist messages were found on Old Campus on Tuesday evening.

BY DAVID SHIMER AND VICTOR WANG STAFF REPORTERS On Wednesday night, just hours after Yale College Dean Jonathan Holloway and University President Peter Salovey sent out a joint email affirming the University’s support for diversity and open discussions, Holloway sent another email to the

Recount confirms Eidelson’s victory

BY NOAH DAPONTE-SMITH STAFF REPORTER New Haven’s election season has finally come to an end, as Tuesday’s recount of the Ward 1 election has reaffirmed incumbent Sarah Eidelson ’12 as victor.

The recount, held in the Hall of Records at 200 Orange St., arrived at the same result as

the count on election night: Eidelson defeated Republican challenger Ugonna Eze ’16 with 386 votes to his 369.

Eidelson’s 17-vote margin was the closest in Ward 1 history.

Recounts are automatically triggered in elections with a margin of victory smaller than 20 votes. State law required the recount to occur by Tuesday at the latest. Roughly 20 people —

New BOE elects criticize Harries

BY REBECCA KARABUS STAFF REPORTER Newly elected New Haven Board of Education members Darnell Goldson and Edward Joyner said Tuesday that before they vote on whether to renew New Haven Public Schools Superintendent Garth Harries’ ’95 contract, they want to see more of his leadership.

On the night of last Tuesday’s BOE election — the first time Elm City residents voted for two BOE representatives, a position the mayor historically appoints — Goldson and Joyner said if asked now, they would be inclined to vote against the renewal of Harries’ contract as the NHPS superintendent when it expires in 2017. The BOE negotiates contracts with the superintendent for their time in the position and votes on whether or not to extend that contract as it approaches its expiration date. The board voted to renew Harries’ latest three-year contract with NHPS in 2014. After last week’s election, the new BOE representatives discussed

their opinions about the next superintendent contract on which they will vote. The two newly elected members, who officially join the BOE in January, said that while Harries should improve communications with the district, they do not currently have sufficient information to call for the renewal or termination of his contract.

“I was asked if I had the vote now, I said no and I still say no [to renewal]. Now that’s very different than saying that I want him out,” said Joyner, the former executive director of Yale’s School Development Program. “Harries has a year and a half left to show whether or not he deserves to continue to be superintendent, and it should be based on performance metrics negotiated between him and the board.”

Goldson and Joyner emphasized the need for more transparency between Harries, the rest of the board and the school district. Goldson said he acquired the only information he currently has about SEE BOE PAGE 4

including Eze and Ward 1 CoChairs Jacob Wasserman ’16 and Sarah Giovanniello ’16 — attended the recount, the first held in New Haven since a 2012 race for ward co-chair in Beaver Hills.

Before the count began, head moderator John Cirello read out the procedure for the recount. He said state law mandates that both Republi-

cans and Democrats be present for the opening of the ballot boxes.

Cirello then gave Eze the option of not pursuing the recount. Eze declined.

“Let’s see what happens,” Eze said.

Recount procedures mandate that each individual ballot cast at the New Haven Free Public Library be entered into

the voting machine by poll workers Dominic Tamaro and Kevin Arnold, who also check the validity of each ballot.

Office of Legislative Services Staffer Donald Hayden counted the votes cast at City Hall via same-day registration by hand.

YPU debates affirmative action

ROBBIE SHORT/CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER

Dozens of students stood to protest the speaker’s arguments against affirmative action.

BY FINNEGAN SCHICK AND MONICA WANG STAFF REPORTERS The Yale Political Union held a debate Tuesday night on the topic of affirmative action, amidst ongoing campus discussions about race and the status of students of color on campus.

Amy Wax ’75, a law professor at the University of

Pennsylvania whose work addresses issues of social welfare law and policy, spoke against affirmative action on the grounds that it ultimately disadvantages the underrepresented minorities it was originally designed to help.

Although YPU members and Yale administrators expected students to protest the debate, Wax’s speech proceeded uninterrupted before the crowd

of roughly 200 students. The debate came several days after student activists rallied outside a free speech conference held by the William F. Buckley Jr. Program in protest of a speaker’s joke about the genocide of Native Americans.

OPINION

.COMMENT “We can recognize students of color without being divisive.” yaledailynews.com/opinion

Who we were?

I

go by many names, but to you, I am the average Yalie.

You know me. You recognize me. There’s a good chance you are, or at least were, me. I slip on my LL Bean boots in the morning, and put on my Barbour jacket to go to class on weekdays. I drink from red solo cups on High Street on weekend nights and stumble to Box afterwards.

I’m white. Or maybe I’m Asian. Or maybe I’m Jewish.

Maybe my parents are lawyers. Or maybe they’re doctors. Maybe, more generally, I’ve never felt particularly out of place at Yale. But one thing’s for sure. I can’t pretend to understand the pain that some are going through right now.

I posted a Facebook status last week saying, “I stand with all women of color.” I apologized for not caring more, for not being a better ally. I pledged to stop going to SAE on the weekends, although to be frank, I know some SAE brothers and I swear they’re nice guys. I’ve had countless lunch conversations about what’s been happening, and I’ve been indignant, confused and exhausted.

I may have attended one or two events last week if they didn’t conflict with my classes. But this week, I had a lot of assignments and commitments, so I wasn’t able to attend the March of Resilience on Monday. I felt bad about it. But not bad enough to skip section — it is my grade on the line, after all, and attendance is mandatory.

Or maybe I did attend, and felt good about it afterwards. I made sure to say hi to as many people as possible and put videos from the march on Snapchat. I made sure others knew I was there, and it felt good to be included in something larger than myself. I was proud.

Proud of my fellow students?

Maybe. Proud of me? More likely. But still, the day left me moved.

By the time Harvard-Yale rolls around, or maybe by the time Spring Fling comes along, I’ll find myself on High Street again. I’ll be at SigEp, and someone will say “Hey, let’s go to SAE!” I’ll be drunk and I won’t think about what happened this fall, and won’t think about the promise I made myself earlier this year. I’ll show up, remember and feel bad. Not bad enough to leave, though. I’m here anyway, and plus, all my friends are here too.

By the time it’s finals week, I’ll be too busy to think about the realities I was forced to confront in November. By the time I come back from winter break, those events will be even further in the back of my mind.

Maybe in February, I’ll hear someone talk about the racial injustice on our campus, about

'YALE COLLEGE STUDENT' ON 'FABER: FOR YALE VS. RACISM'

GUEST COLUMNIST AMELIA NIERENBERG

We are raising the dead

hiring more faculty of color, about the problems that r e m a i n u n re so lve d — and I’ll nod in LEO KIM agreement.

But I won’t On us do more. I already have done my part. I already shared my Facebook status. I already stood in solidarity with students; I already did enough to be on the right side of history, at least once.

You know me, and right now, you want to forget me. You’ve managed to get away from me and maybe you’ve convinced yourself that I am no longer on your heels. You’ve shunned me, you’ve denounced me, but don’t forget that you were me — and you haven’t shaken me just yet.

I ALREADY HAVE DONE MY PART. I ALREADY STOOD IN SOLIDARITY WITH STUDENTS. I ALREADY DID ENOUGH TO BE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY, RIGHT?

Y

ale is a lived-in mausoleum. The walls of Commons, or as we now know it, the Schwarzman Center, bear the inscribed names of countless fallen veterans from so many American wars. The Yale Glee Club sometimes sings of Yale as “rich in the toil of thousands living, proud of the deeds of thousands dead.” Grove Street Cemetery proclaims “THE DEAD SHALL BE RAISED” — to which former Yale President Arthur Twining Hadley once quipped, “They certainly will be, if the University wants the land.” This prediction, I am pleased to see, remains unfulfilled with the erection of the new colleges.

We keep our Dead close here, their individual names chiseled into the architecture.

Yale introduces its incoming and living freshman to its Dead almost immediately, marching them by the statues of Nathan Hale and Theodore Dwight Woolsey, past the cenotaph on Beinecke Plaza and finally into Woolsey Hall for Freshman Convocation. Huddled in their residential colleges, the freshmen feel the weight of a tradition of pomp and circumstance, a bap-

tism into a legacy as future Yale alumni. The living Dead of campus life is even part of our daily rituals, part of the Yale sweaters we wear and the Yale fight songs we sing. It’s the creation of a time-tapestry and a sense of joining a tradition.

Before I left to come here, my erudite-if-absent-minded father offered me a sort of blessing to mark this coming-of-age moment — the same sort of wish he has offered several bewildered teenagers before me. “I often wonder if it wouldn’t be better to view our entire life as a whole, in total. Wouldn’t we be able to better live our lives fully? But if we did see our lives as a whole, how would we keep each moment fresh?” he asked, “So here is my wish for you: That you can see your life as a total and at the same time experience every moment as fresh.” It’s a bit much, true, but his words hit on the same stuff of Yale’s mortal tradition: the blending of the past with the present.

A living awareness of mortality sharpens life. I am part of a tradition; we are part of a tradition. The constant reminders of people just like us, now Dead,

serves to ponder battles of our lives with a reminder of their finitude. Death is meant to be a ballast for each undergraduate’s tenure here.

But who and what do we memorialize?

More than just the Dead, Yale is a place of veterans. Our wideeyed freshmen don’t just pass a cenotaph and some statues.

They march by a memorial to the Yale Veterans of WWI “who true to [Yale’s] Traditions gave their Lives that Freedom might not perish from the Earth.” Revolutionary War hero and Yale alumnus Nathan Hale, hanged by the British for his work in intelligence, welcomes them to Old Campus. Through its memorials, Yale tries to transfuse into each successive generation a legacy of moral struggle and moral right. We can quibble over the historiography of the wars, but Yale lauds its warriors who dared and died for freedom. These were people who, in times of moral uncertainty, fell on and fell for the side they believed to be right.

There are times in collective consciousness that matter more.

We are living in one of those times. With the recent events

on our campus, new people are suddenly tapping into a conversation that has been underway for decades and centuries. It’s a chunk of conversation that will fold itself into the fabric of Yale, and hopefully nudge its path closer to a better University. This is a time of living veterans, people whose sacrifices today will carry a legacy tomorrow.

Right now, we need to feel the matrix of University history stretching backwards for all its good and all its bad, just as we need to understand the matrix of University history stretching before us that we are working to create. We have our Dead to ground the business of living and refresh the reasons for sacrifice.

These days are ones that remind me why the names of our Dead dot the campus. They remind us of the urgency that has informed our history, must shape our present, and will mold our future.

We shall raise the Dead. In fact, we’re doing that already.

But a part of me is scared, because maybe this time, I won’t catch up. Maybe this time, you won’t stop running and you won’t stop marching.

You won’t forget the promises you’ve made and the pledges you said you’d keep. And if you don’t forget, if you don’t stand still, I know that I’ll no longer exist.

The "average Yalie" won’t be gone overnight. I won’t go down with a fight. Do you want to change enough so that you march until your legs give out? Even when you’re tired, even when you have finals coming up? Even when no one is watching, and even when everyone else is drained?

Because that’s the only way you’ll ever get away from me.

But if we become complacent in all that has already been accomplished, I’ll be back.

And when you look in the mirror, maybe not today or tomorrow, but maybe in a week or maybe in a month, you’ll see me once again.

COPYRIGHT 2015 — VOL. CXXXVIII, NO. 47

I

n my poetry seminar last Thursday, we read two recent books by the African-American poet Claudia Rankine. She writes from a place of grace, strength, pain and experience.

That afternoon at that table in LC, her voice on the page was the only black voice in the room. We did not address this as a class.

For those approximately two hours, I tried and failed to imagine myself into the black body of the lyric subject. Reviewing my notes later, I found that I’d written: “positing a speaker whose words are relevant.” It wasn’t hard to understand for whom the words were relevant; they could not have been more relevant. But because I couldn’t fully know the speaker, I could only posit. No matter how relevant the message, when we read, we are always positing, always limited. In this classroom, that was all I was and remain capable of doing.

Though I write regularly, I’ve been eyeing this column in particular for a while now. No matter how many times I reached into my pocket to add to the little note I’d begun on my phone, no matter how many hugs I gave

and conversations I had recently, I couldn’t conceptualize the words I wanted to fill this page. I CAROLINE felt and still very much SYDNEY feel impossibly ill Selfequipped to be writing absorbed this week and this day. What right do I have to this space?

I keep coming back to this blank, white space, to this space that I’ve been allotted and charged to fill since my sophomore year. I’ve thought about all the white spaces on Yale’s campus that I comfortably fill, on and off the page. Semester after semester, it’s so easy for me to think of 750 words to fill this space, to sit in a seminar where people of color are absent. Writing now, I can’t move through these lines with the same ease.

It would be only too easy to fill the space with the beauty of the March of Resilience and its resounding message. It is

so tempting to write about the ways in which the idea of community manifested itself, about the feeling of my voice feeding into a rush of sound, and about the number 1,200.

But this groundswell of solidarity may not feel as present a week from now. Something different must sustain this drive to redefine community at Yale. I must force myself to simmer in the feelings of discomfort that have spurred me and so many others to action. I don’t want to neglect to attend to the parallel atmosphere in academic spaces.

I support the push for the additional distributional requirements proposed by the Black Student Alliance at Yale and the push for greater diversity in hiring. But creating new positions, classes and spaces does not discount the fact that we have a lot of work to do with our existing ones. Just as our community is not complete when ridden with fissures of discrimination, so too are our courses. I will still spend the rest of the semester in a classroom where a woman of color will not be heard unless she is on the syllabus. Though 31% of undergraduates are stu-

dents of color, I have never been in a class that reflects this statistic. Why? It’s important to remember that these cries are not just expressing the incompleteness of our community, but the incompleteness of our education. Surely, this is something I’ve intuitively felt in my time at Yale, in classes that have addressed implicit bias, empathy and sympathy. The brave voices I am hearing now have allowed me to understand more fundamentally this disconnect between the boundaries of academic discourse at Yale and who is most heard within them.

I’ve seen that the Yale I most want to believe in exists in the streets and on Cross Campus with a flood of determination and unity. This is a good place to start — more than good, really.

Still, we can be better at filling the spaces we have here. We need to fill the spaces that define community better, fill the spaces that define our education better.

Div School to boost faculty diversity

BY QI XU STAFF REPORTER With financial support from the $50 million faculty diversity initiative announced last week, the Yale Divinity School plans to step up its efforts in recruiting and retaining diverse faculty members.

YDS has self-supported most of its diversity efforts in the past, meaning that funding for diversity initiatives came from donations pegged specifically for use at the School. This is because YDS is one of seven Yale professional schools whose endowment is tracked separately within the total University endowment, meaning that it is responsible for managing its own budget. Under the $50 million University-wide initiative, however, YDS will now be able to apply for funding from the University to finance the hiring of diverse faculty for up to three years. Half of the necessary funding will come from the Provost’s Office, and the other half will be financed by YDS itself. YDS Dean Gregory Sterling praised the Universitywide initiative, though he said building a diverse community requires efforts beyond just faculty recruitment.

I think it is a great initiative and I am very pleased that the University is undertaking it.

GREGORY STERLING Dean, Yale Divinity School “I think it is a great initiative and I am very pleased that the University is undertaking it, and that it has included all of Yale and not just select parts of Yale in this initiative,” Sterling said.

He added that this is the first time the University will financially support YDS’ diversity efforts since he stepped into his position three years ago.

Sterling said YDS plans to apply for University funding so that if the School were to recruit exceptional candidates with competitive offers from other universities, YDS could access more financial resources than the School is typically allocated for hiring. Sterling added that YDS will have to supply half of the funding for a new faculty position for the first three years and be prepared to fully selffinance the hire after three years.

Divinity School professor Mary Moschella, who currently chairs the school’s Diversity Committee, said the University-wide initiative will provide a much-needed boost to YDS efforts in increasing faculty diversity. She added that faculty diversity is at the top of the committee’s list of priorities and is included among YDS’ five Strategic Plans for 2015, a set of goals ranging from bridging faith traditions to freeing students from debt.

Moschella said that in June, YDS hired professor Willie Jennings, a scholar in theology and race, as an associate professor of systematic theology and Africana Studies. In September, the School created a new position in Latina and Latino Christianity Studies and is now in the process of filling the position, Moschella added. Three of the four faculty members of color deal with issues of race, with one studying theology and race, one in race and literature and one in race and American history. The forth faculty member of color specializes in education among young Afri-

can-American women. Among white faculty, one focuses on the relationship between Christianity and Islam, one specializes in Native Americans and two teach classes regularly on sexual orientation. Other academic interests among YDS faculty include Asian Christianity.

The committee has also engaged student input in its efforts to boost faculty diversity, and the student body at YDS elected four student representatives to the committee.

Along with two staff members and three faculty members, the students attend meetings and report back to YDS’ Student Council, said Antonio Bravo DIV ’16, president of La Comunidad, a community of Latino, Latina and Hispanic students at the Divinity School.

Angel Aquino DIV ’16 said he has never had a Latino or Latina professor during his three years at the Divinity School.

“As far as I know, there are no Latina [or] Latino professors at YDS,” Aquino said.

Sterling said there are four additional ongoing searches for faculty positions at YDS. He added that the search committee in charge of these hirings reached out to leading figures in the respective fields, asking for nominations, particularly for those from minority groups.

From that pool, YDS tries to nominate a diverse group of finalists, and Sterling said that among 12 finalists who visited YDS last year, only one was a white male. Ten percent of YDS’ full-time faculty members are people of color, 40 percent of its faculty are women and 25 percent come from abroad.

The University-wide faculty diversity initiative will also help boost the YDS’ faculty makeup by financing the creation of an entirely new position, Sterling said. Currently, the funding of a new position would either be donor-driven — meaning the School’s endowment covers all the expenses related to the creation a new position — or be financed by reallocating resources internally.

Sterling acknowledged that retaining faculty members of color is challenging, given that many institutions compete to hire them. He said the University-wide funding will help YDS provide an attractive counteroffer if YDS faculty were to leave the school for better-paid positions.

“We hired [a faculty member of color] from Duke this last year. We poached, and we were able to get this person to come,” Sterling said. “Princeton tried to get this person and we beat Princeton in this case. But I don’t imagine that this is the end of it — that is, I’m sure that this person will be approached by other institutions down the line.”

Sterling added that although faculty diversity is one of the most pressing needs at Yale right now, these efforts have to go hand-in-hand with cultivating a diverse student body. Faculty members will not be interested in coming to Yale if the student body is homogenous, Sterling said.

Based on a research study conducted and published in September 2014 by Catalyst, a nonprofit organization that targets expanding opportunities for women, African-Americans account for 6.9 percent of total doctoral degrees earned in 2011– 12 in the United States. Latinas and Latinos account for 5.4 percent and Asian-Americans for 10.49 percent.

Racial controversies derail academic life

BY MONICA WANG AND VICTOR WANG STAFF REPORTERS For the over 1,000 students who attended the March of Resilience Monday, normal academic life ground to a halt: classes, sections and even midterms were canceled or skipped, with or without dean’s excuses.

The march began at 2 p.m. and lasted for more than two hours, as the outpouring of emotions about recent racial tensions in the community turned into a joyful dance party on Cross Campus. Many students at the event said they missed class in order to attend, and some faculty members said they canceled or rescheduled classes in response to students’ interest in participating in the march. The disruption of classes Monday is only one of many instances in which the emotional toll of ongoing campuswide conversations about race at Yale has affected academics at the University. During multiple events over the past week and a half — such as an open forum at the Afro-American Cultural Center Wednesday and a threehour impromptu confrontation with Yale College Dean Jonathan Holloway on Cross Campus Thursday — students have repeatedly shared their emotional distress and how that distress has left them unable to fulfill their academic obligations.

Administrators have taken note of the unusual climate on campus. Holloway met with residential college deans and masters yesterday to discuss how they should address student emotions. His message to them boiled down to a single notion: take care of everyone.

“There have been debates publicly and privately. Students are dealing with emotional stress. Some are not getting enough sleep or are not eating enough,” Holloway told the News. “Our job is to be mindful of this. We have a real concern about students’ capacity to manage all this stress and their academic obligations.”

He said residential college masters and deans have been working overtime to take care of students, who may be dealing with a wide range of issues.

For residential college deans specifically, many of these concerns center around students’ abilities to complete their academic obligations, whether this is attending classes or completing assignments.

Holloway stressed that the

Many students skipped class in order to attend Monday’s March of Resilience. residential college system aims to take care of everyone, regardless of their political stances on recent campus debates. He said there has been a “massive convulsion” in the community and students are simply “strung out.”

“Residential colleges are filled with ideas and discussions, but when there are moments of crisis, whether it is local or international tragedies, or even weather catastrophes, the master and deans’ primary duty is to take care of everyone,” he said.

Holloway added that it is up to individual faculty members to grant leniency on class assignments, but he said many instructors seem to be generous in their understanding of the situation.

African American Studies professor and Director of the Ethnicity, Race and Migration Program Matthew Jacobson teaches “Introduction to Documentary Studies,” which overlapped with the March of Resilience. Emphasizing the importance of being at the march and supporting his students, Jacobson said he invited all 18 members of his class to join him and take the event as an opportunity to practice filming and recording. Several of his students are now working on a collaborative documentary project about the march, he added.

“I regarded the [march] itself as one of those moments when what was taking place outside the classroom was more urgent than what was going to take place within,” he said. “I think my students saw

it that way, too.”

Anthropology professor David Watts, who teaches “Introduction to Biological Anthropology,” said he received two Dean’s excuses from students who missed class for reasons related to the march, though Watts added that his students may have cited more general concerns regarding the recent events on campus in requesting excuses from their deans.

At the beginning of his class on Monday, which also started at 2:30 p.m., Watts told his students that they were free to leave and join the march. Several students did, Watts said.

Director of Undergraduate Studies for Directed Studies Kathryn Slanski, who teaches a DS literature section that meets every Monday and Wednesday at 2:30 p.m., said students waited for her at the beginning of class and asked for permission to attend the March of Resilience.

“I was impressed by their courtesy in coming to class to ask permission, and moved by their argument that the event was something that felt important and real,” she said. “I hope that our students, because of their studies, have found themselves better equipped to evaluate what’s at stake in the statements and arguments whirling around campus right now, and to participate meaningfully in the discussions, with courtesy and generosity.”

Some professors said they understood students’ desires to attend the march but thought they should have been notified of students’ absences before-

hand. English professor Leslie Brisman said about half of his “The Bible as Literature” course missed class Monday, and none of the absent students contacted him prior to the class. Brisman acknowledged that students felt strongly enough about the issues to go to the march, but he said he was “distressed by the discourtesy” of students not notifying him beforehand.

Astronomy professor Louise Edwards, whose “Introduction to Cosmology” class started at 4 p.m. on Monday afternoon, said because of the later timing of her class, she did not receive any Dean’s excuses, although some students were absent. Students could have attended both the rally and the class, she said, and she started class by acknowledging the march and making time for students to share their thoughts.

Physics professor Zosia Krusberg, who said about half her class left for the event, said her students had been discussing the issue of faculty diversity at Yale even before the events that triggered the march.

“I wanted my students to know that I am aware that there is more happening in our classroom than physics education,” she said. “I recognize that many of them are working through difficult issues relating to their individual and collective identities while trying to keep up with challenging academic schedules.”

Donut store opens on Whitney

BY MICHELLE LIU STAFF REPORTER Sweet-toothed New Haven residents seeking a sugar fix can now find Tony’s Orangeside Donuts at its new brickand-mortar spot at 24 Whitney Ave.

Tony’s Orangeside Donuts opened to the public Tuesday morning, revealing tangerine interiors and donut flavors ranging from Oreo with vanilla frosting to pumpkinglazed. Owner Tony Poleshek Jr. and his business partner Oron Arbogast previously sold

Tony’s Orangeside Donuts opened a new brick-and-mortar store at 24 Whitney Ave. Tuesday morning.

donuts from retail trucks on Temple Street and around the New Haven Green. They also supply on-campus retail locations including Durfee’s and the School of Management with donuts. The new storefront caters not just to the Yale community, but to donutlovers of all backgrounds, Poleshek said. “[The love of] donuts is not restricted by age, by generation or by culture,” Poleshek said.

Poleshek said he plans to hold a grand opening for the store next week, before students leave for Thanksgiving break. Marketing has been minimal so far, he said. The store has mainly used Twitter and word-of-mouth to bring customers to the new brickand-mortar location.

Unlike Orangeside on Temple — a diner Poleshek owned until last year that serves other breakfast food as well as donuts — Poleshek said he wants his new location to only serve donuts.

Poleshek said he chose to open a stationary store so customers could purchase Orangeside donuts at the same location each time, without having to hunt down the food truck.

In upcoming weeks, the store will tweak its hours, staying open later on the weekends, Poleshek said, adding that he hopes customers linger at the store, drinking coffee or studying.

Tony’s Orangeside Donuts will also offer student discounts, Poleshek said.

In spite of its location near a number of similar food ven-

dors — including Dunkin’ Donuts, Willoughby’s Coffee & Tea and Bruegger’s Bagels — Tony’s Orangeside Donuts is unlikely to lose customers to nearby eateries, Poleshek said.

While other restaurants cater to specific mealtimes, Poleshek said he sees his donuts as a snack or as an accompaniment to meals.

The “handcrafted” nature of each donut will keeps customers coming back, Poleshek added.

The donuts will complement the crepes served by next-door neighbor Choupette Creperie and Cafe, which opened earlier this fall, owner Adil Chokairy said.

Customers interviewed said they encountered the store while passing through Whitney Avenue. Branford resident and regular customer Chris Gargiulo said he bought a dozen donuts simply because “everything just looked really good.”

“The orange paint caught my eye,” said Yvonne Fairclough, an employee of the FedEx Store down the street from the new store.

By 5 p.m. Tuesday, Tony’s Orangeside Donuts sold out of Samoa, a popular donut flavor modelled after a flavor of Girl Scout cookies, Poleshek’s son Matthew Poleshek said.

He added that first-day sales exceeded expectations.

Orangeside on Temple, the diner Poleshek previously owned, opened in 2009.

EMAIL FROM PAGE 1 speaker are inconsistent with Yale’s policies,” Salovey said.

“On the other hand, protests can be visible or loud — they just can’t drown out a speaker or prevent a speaker from speaking.

A good example of an acceptable protest would be if people gathered outside an event and chanted as long as the speaker could continue. A protest that would be not acceptable would be disrupting that speaker.”

Though the email was sent near the start of a Yale Political Union debate on affirmative action that was expected to attract demonstrations from minority student groups, Salovey said the email was not specifically targeted toward that event.

In the joint email, titled “Affirming our community’s values,” Salovey and Holloway reiterated that related policy

changes would be announced by Thanksgiving. Salovey told the News late last week that policies under consideration include new mental health services specifically for minority communities and a “more obvious mechanism” for students to report situations in which they felt discriminated against.

Salovey and Holloway also wrote that they are working to renew the University’s commitment to the freedom to speak and be heard “not as a special exception for unpopular or controversial ideas, but for them especially.” They wrote that preventing anyone from raising controversial ideas would rob the Yale community of the right to engage with those ideas in a way that gets to the core of Yale’s educational mission.

The email also responded to national media coverage of recent campus events and controversies.

“The news and social media have reported threats, coercion and overtly disrespectful acts, and these actions have added to the distress in our community. They are unacceptable,” the email said.

Offering strong support for the Woodward Report — a set of ethical and social principles put together by a University committee in the 1970s in the face of “explosive debates about race and war” — Holloway and Salovey said they support its major tenet: while exercising free speech can supersede civility, it is always important to keep the latter in mind.

Sam Chauncey ’57 — who served as special assistant to former University President Kingman Brewster and served as university secretary for two decades — said Brewster formed a committee to study the question of free speech at Yale and produced the Woodward Report in

Racist messages found on campus SIGNS FROM PAGE 1 preliminary review indicates that Yale students were not involved.

“Racist messages are disgusting and cowardly,” Salovey told the News late Tuesday evening. “I don’t ever want to see them on our campus. We need to condemn this kind of behavior.”

YPD Lieutenant Brian Logan said his department’s investigation of the incident is ongoing and declined to provide further information, but the self-described comedy group “Million Dollar Extreme” — which, according to its Facebook page, consists of three men who produce “alternative comedy” for the Internet — posted a picture of two men holding the signs in question. Multiple students said they had seen these men carrying the signs on campus earlier in the day.

Nelson said that after two students saw the signs on Old Campus, they grew offended and scared. The signs were then removed from the area by another party, she said, and the situation was reported to her.

“The words were strong and scary enough that the students who saw it were shaken and scared,“ Nelson said. “It’s bad that something like this would happen at a time when students are already so fragile.”

Nelson added that she and one of the two students who found the signs filed the police report together.

Gaurav Pathak ’19 said that while he was walking past Old Campus between 6:30 p.m. and 7 p.m., he noticed the signs leaning against a statue.

He confirmed that the front of one sign read “All Lives Matter” and that the other read “No More Dead Black Children.”

Holloway said he believes the incident is an attempt to provoke members of the community, especially given the racial controversies and tension that have dominated campus recently.

In his second message to the Yale College community, Holloway reaffirmed the University’s values of diversity and respect.

“The University condemns these messages, which are an affront to us all,” he said. “As President Salovey and I wrote just a short time ago, Yale embraces our community’s diversity, and it is committed to increasing, supporting and respecting that diversity; it is what makes our campus such a vibrant and dynamic place, built on mutual respect.”

response to students protesting a number of University speakers.

“The report is a result of a number of years where controversial speakers came to campus and were allowed or not allowed to speak, and Brewster wanted a game plan that could be followed in the future,” Chauncey said.

“The committee concluded that in the end if you have to make a judgment, you come down on the side of free speech, but you really ought to think about the civility issue before you go out and say what you’re going to say.”

The Tuesday email also reaffirmed the University’s commitment to increase, respect and support diversity, citing the recently announced $50 million University-wide faculty diversity initiative. Salovey and Holloway wrote that there is work to be done, particularly regarding faculty diversity, though they also praised the “vibrant com-

munities” at Yale’s four cultural centers and the University’s support for students of diverse sexual orientation, gender, religion and nationality.

“We are committed to supporting all of these communities not only by attending to their safety and well-being but in the expectation that they will be treated with respect,” the email said.

Holloway told the News that the email was meant to address the concerns not only of students over the past week, but also those of faculty members, some of whom are particularly concerned about free speech and student decorum in light of recent protests and confrontations.

“We owe it to everyone to give an update on what is happening,” he said.

Earlier on Tuesday, five members of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Senate — Emily Green-

wood, Matthew Jacobson, Douglas Rogers, Kathryn Lofton and Vesla Weaver — published an open letter of support for Yale students of color. The letter began circulating among all Yale faculty at 2 p.m. and had received more than 220 faculty signatures as of 10 p.m. Tuesday night.

“Calls for greater diversity do not by themselves resolve the experience of racism and devaluation, and maintaining silence about racial inequality on campus only exacerbates the problem,” the letter read. “It is not for students alone to shoulder the many burdens of this work.”

C. Vann Woodward, an American historian at Yale, chaired the committee that produced the Woodward Report.

BOE reps critique superintendent BOE FROM PAGE 1 Harries’ leadership during the last few months of his campaign for a seat on the BOE. He said he attended several BOE meetings while campaigning and noticed that parents often asked the same questions of Harries, which Goldson said indicates that the superintendent was not providing New Haven families with sufficient information.

Joyner said in addition to district parents and students, board members also lacked information about schools’ staffing challenges and other issues from Harries.

“The superintendent has a moral and legal responsibility to provide people with information,” Joyner said. “When you don’t answer people who make reasonable requests for information, then you create the perception that you’re either hiding something or don’t have the

information.”

City Hall spokesman Laurence Grotheer said ample communication among all parties is a key ingredient to effective administration. But because NHPS is a very large organization, information sometimes falls through the cracks, he added. Grotheer said Harries and the board have acknowledged a need for improved communication.

Goldson and Joyner also expressed concerns about Harries’ decision-making about Hillhouse High School, which has undergone transformation from a comprehensive high school into four academies — each with a separate focus on law, entrepreneurship and social media and the arts — that students must now apply to. Just days before the school year began this year, the board announced it is still struggling to find principals for the acad-

emies.

Joyner said Hillhouse’s threeprincipal system is a “deformed structure” that reflects Harries’ poor leadership and a limited understanding of how organizations should be structured.

“I think Harries should take the school back to one leader and use some lessons learned in this city,” Joyner said. “With Hillhouse, you have a structure that is not consistent with the conventional wisdom about how you create an organization.”

Grotheer said the academies at Hillhouse will be given the chance to grow and gain acceptance among community members before Harries and the board reconsider the current structure.

Harries was named superintendent in July 2013.

Students question cultural sensitivity at FES

BY BRENDAN HELLWEG AND PADDY GAVIN STAFF REPORTER AND CONTRIBUTING REPORTER Following a town hall meeting yesterday between students and administrators at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, students expressed concern regarding cultural insensitivity on part of the school’s administration and faculty and the lack of faculty diversity at the school.

These concerns came to a head last week, when an exhibit dedicated to El Dia de los Muertos — a Mexican holiday which celebrates deceased ancestors — was taken down due to a donor event taking place in the same space on Nov. 7. At the forum, F&ES Dean Peter Crane said the display, installed on Nov. 1 by EQUID, the Equity, Inclusion and Diversity Committee— a body consisting of students, faculty and staff which aims to make the school more inclusive — in Kroon Hall at the School of Forestry Library with the permission of the administration, was taken down on Nov. 6.

Latha Swamy FES ’16 said EQUID initially planned for the display to stay up for over a week.

But Maclovia Quintana ’11 FES ’14, diversity and sustainability fellow at F&ES, was asked by F&ES staff to remove the altar several days early in order to prepare for the donor event.

Crane apologized for the “miscommunication” surrounding the removal of the installation — an apology students criticized as intentionally downplaying the interrelatedness of this controversy with other problems at the school.

“There was a miscommunication, I think, that could have been handled better with regards to the installation taken down on the fourth floor of Kroon,” Crane said to an audience of over 100 students, staff and faculty during his opening remarks at the town hall.

Agnes Walton FES ’16 said that many students believed the display’s early removal was part of a broader culture in the school that considers minority cultural symbols “unclean,” and that weighs the desires of donors far higher than the needs of students.

This culture, she said, was tied directly to administrative opacity and distance in the hiring of new faculty.

Similarly, Swamy said some student concerns could be attributed to a pervasive Christian hegemony not only present in the school. Swamy questioned whether an administrationsponsored cultural installation

would be scrapped to make room for a donor event if the installation was a Christmas tree.

But Quintana said the removal of the altar resulted solely from miscommunication between the students who put up the structure and the staff of Kroon Hall, who were organizing the space for an upcoming donor event.

“The timing [of the altar’s removal] was unfortunate,” Quintana said. “This really is not part and parcel in terms of events on campus right now. I had to take the altar down, although I’m Hispanic and this festival is near and dear to my heart. This is not an example of institutionalized racism and oppression. I know those very well and this is not that.”

Quintana added that she had spoken and resolved the issue with the students involved in the installation of the altar, in addition to sending an apology email to F&ES students last night.

Myles Lennon FES ’20, a Ph.D. student in the joint forestry and anthropology program at the school, said the removal of the altar was “disturbing” and telling of broader issues of tolerance at the school, although he said that he did not believe the alter was removed with the intention of hurting anyone.

“The predominance of whiteness is very palpable at F&ES,” he said. “We see this in instances like this in which a very powerful cultural item gets denigrated for the sake of formality and cleanliness.”

At the forum, Crane also responded to student criticism about lack of faculty diversity.

Students interviewed said that the lack of faculty of color in the administration and higher faculty ranks has resulted in a negative culture at the school.

Of the 49 faculty currently employed at the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, 44 are white, three are Asian, one is black and one is Hispanic, according to Kevin Dennehy, communications officer for F&ES. Out of the 49, 36 are male and 13 are female, he added.

According to Walton, out of the 20 tenured faculty, only three are women in spite of the fact that 65 percent of the school’s students are women.

“There is a particular culture here that has turned away quality candidates of color,” Crane said at the forum.

Quintana said the Dean’s Office has been made aware of student complaints regarding culturally insensitive remarks from faculty members. She added that this has created a difficult space for some students, but

School of Forestry & Environmental Studies students interviewed spoke to their experiences of cultural insensitivity from faculty.

Lennon said that while he believes Crane’s concerns regarding faculty diversity are sincere, the dean still has a “very poor understanding” of the extent and impact of cultural insensitivity at the school.

He added that the problem at the school is not only one of demographics, but also of racism, and is largely caused by the overwhelming lack of faculty diversity. Lennon said that some faculty members are “flat-out racist,” adding that he has heard one instructor refer to Hispanic women as “loud and opinionated” and Asian women as “quiet and timid” in front of a class.

Additionally, Lennon said he heard another instructor refer to the African continent as “a heart of darkness,” and advise female students not to travel to Papua New Guinea because “the people are crazy.”

Lennon said that he does not blame the school’s diversity problems on Crane, adding that the school has historically

been “very white” and has had problems recruiting faculty of color. He acknowledged that the administration had taken a positive step in working with EQUID, but added that insensitivity at F&ES was sufficiently pervasive to warrant an institutional response in which faculty participation is mandatory.

She added that last year, the school created two Pinchot Fellowship positions on the faculty to attract young academics of color, and these fellows will join the faculty next August. This is an example of Crane responding quickly to the need for a more diverse faculty, she said.

However, Walton said that the Pinchot Fellowship did not lead to a genuine growth in minority representation because the candidates were hired as postdoctoral fellows, meaning that they lack long-term job security and a structural incentive to serve in an advisory capacity to students of color. Walton explained that postdoctoral fellows are primarily focused on research, allowing them to only teach one class.

Quintana also pointed out that a lack of diversity in the broader environmental movement as well as the comparatively low financial reward associated with a

career in the field can often deter individuals of color from pursuing a career in environmental studies.

“The environmental movement has a very long history of not being inclusive in its messaging,” Quintana said. “The emphasis [of early environmental movements] was to save land conservation so that leisure activities could happen … The movement has started to tackle [the problem of inclusivity] head-on in past couple of years.”

She added that scholarship programs targeted at students from minority backgrounds are more often associated with traditionally lucrative fields than environmentalism such as law and medicine.

Nina Dewi Horstmann FES ’16 acknowledged that the school had taken positive steps toward increasing diversity, including the recent institution of the Pinchot Fellowship. However, she questioned the long-term ramifications of this step. “[F&ES students] are wondering how exactly this oneyear fellowship will translate into long-term faculty diversity,” Dewi Horstmann said. “Are there structures in place in which they might be given a tenure-

track position or opportunity to do so?”

She added that the promotion of minority professors to tenured positions is part of a broader Yale problem with regard to the transparency of faculty promotions.

“At other institutions such as the University of California system, they are very transparent about what a faculty member needs to do in order to get tenured,” she said. “At Yale, this is more of a black box. We see very often this pattern of faculty being promoted from assistant to associate professor but not receiving tenure.”

Dewi Horstmann said that, in her time at Yale, she has seen F&ES professors who have not been promoted to tenure accept positions at comparable universities, including a non-tenured professor who recently took a position at Stanford University.

On Sept. 11 2015, Crane announced he would be departing from the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies. His last day in the deanship will be June 30, 2016.

Smoothie shop bridges town-gown gap

BY JIAHUI HU STAFF REPORTER

recyclerecyclerecyclerecycle

YOUR YDN DAILY

Tropical Smoothie Café has come a long way — from its humble beginning as a Florida beach stand to its present state as a nationwide chain restaurant.

This week, it took that journey one step further, celebrating the grand opening of its New Haven location.

Mayor Toni Harp gathered with city and University officials in the cafe Tuesday morning to celebrate the store’s grand opening. The officials praised the new shop, located at 15 Dixwell Ave., for bringing booming business to the area connecting Broadway with the rest of Dixwell. Before Tropical Smoothie Café opened in mid-September, the space housed the defunct Broadway Liquor store.

“We are trying to extend the feeling you feel on Broadway, to have a sense of development and to be a part of the neighborhood,” Patrick O’Brien, University Properties marketing coordinator, said. “The goal is to have establishments like this cafe where everyone can mingle.”

The new opportunity to indulge in smoothies and light food at the cafe has increased foot traffic in the street behind Payne Whitney, Tropical Smoothie Café owner Zarko Stojanovski said. When Tropical Smoothie Café opened in September, Stojanovski said, foot traffic around the store was low, so few people entered. But with sales tripling in the first month, there is evidence

that the number of visitors to the area has increased, Stojanovski said.

Stojanovski said his cafe has become a staple for sweettoothed Yale students and community residents alike. Many customers are student-athletes, he said, adding that he has served players on the lacrosse, gymnastics and football teams. In total, around 60 percent of Tropical Smoothie Café’s customers are Yale students, Stojanovski said.

Additionally, the cafe also frequently serves public servants such as policemen, firemen and military personnel, all of whom enjoy a 50 percent discount, Stojanovski said. Even before the ribbon-cutting Tuesday morning, at least four city police officers were at the cafe sipping smoothies.

When UP courted landlords to fill the vacancy on Dixwell, Dixwell Alder Jeanette Morrison asked them to choose a store that sold goods that the majority of her constituents could afford.

During the ribbon-cutting, Morrison said she was happy with UP’s choice. Though Tropical Smoothie Café is not the cheapest establishment, it is relatively affordable, she said.

“You cannot put a high-end place to eat,” Morrison said. “It is not just about Yale.”

Morrison added that the healthy offerings at the store make it an important contribution to the neighborhood. She said new developments in Dixwell should prioritize establishments people of all ages can enjoy, citing Tropical Smoothie Café and G

Cafe Bakery as examples of this.

UP will soon add an eatery to 9 Dixwell Ave., the empty space next door to Tropical Smoothie Café. Morrison said she is extending the same request to UP. UP has not yet found a tenant for this vacancy, O’Brien said.

Tropical Smoothie Café’s success is emblematic of Dixwell’s economic growth spurt, Morrison said. Dixwell’s housing market and commercial offerings have grown considerably over the past two decades, Morrison said, naming Science Park and the Winchester Lofts as examples.

Dixwell Avenue has also been targeted by city and state officials for economic-growth funding.

Morrison added the surrounding community once saw themselves at odds with the University. But the introduction of new businesses has improved towngown relations. Morrison said this comes largely due to the work of individuals in Yale’s Office of New Haven and State Affairs.

She added that her ward — made up of an equal proportion of Yale students and permanent New Haven residents — has been the main area benefiting from these changes.

“This is a ward bridging the gap between Yale and New Haven,” Morrison said. “We will continue to intertwine as UP and I work together to bridge the gap.”

The UPS Store at 24 Dixwell Ave. is due to move across the street to 33 Dixwell Ave. Contact JIAHUI HU at jiahui.hu@yale.edu .

Recount solidifies Ward 1 election results

ROBBIE SHORT/CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER

The Tuesday recount in the New Haven Hall of Records confirmed Eidelson’s victory in the Ward 1 election.

RECOUNT FROM PAGE 1 recount confirmed the original result.

“The total matched the total from Election Day exactly, so it gives me faith that democracy in New Haven is working as it should,” he said.

Eidelson, who could not be reached for comment, did not attend the recount. Wasserman

said she is currently en route to her wedding, scheduled for this weekend.

Eze expressed similar sentiments about the recounts.

He said he was pleased that it occurred, regardless of the outcome.

“This is one of those things that really reaffirms your faith in American democracy,” he said as he awaited the results.

High turnout characterized the Ward 1 election, which drew roughly 750 voters to the polls.

Eidelson’s victory against challenger Fish Stark ’17 in the Democratic primary in September saw only 500 voters.

Eidelson held a 50-vote margin of victory in the ballots cast at the library. But that margin was cut to just 17 votes after Eze won 42 of the 53 votes cast by

voters who had registered that day. Eze’s performance in the same-day ballots, which typically lean Democratic, is unusual for a Republican. When Republican challenger Paul Chandler ’14 ran against Eidelson for the Ward 1 seat in 2013, he lost by a margin of 228 votes. On Election Day, Eze said he and his team directed dozens of unregistered students to City Hall to vote.

Voting on Election Day was interrupted by a fire alarm that went off at roughly 5 p.m., prompting the evacuation of the library. The polls reopened about 15 minutes later. The flow of voters was highest in the early evening. A long line at the polls extended voting past the official closing time of 8 p.m., meaning that the last ballot was not cast until after 8:30 p.m.

A preliminary count on Election Day showed that Eidelson had won by 19 votes. That figure was revised to 17 votes after the official count was completed later in the night.

Eidelson will start her third term on New Year’s Day. Contact NOAH DAPONTE-SMITH at noah.daponte-smith@yale.edu .

Amidst unrest, YPU hosts anti-affirmative action speaker YPU DEBATE FROM PAGE 1 tural Center Director Rise Nelson Burrow had asked students to boycott the debate, rather than protest it, in order to avoid fueling criticisms that student activists are infringing upon others’ free speech.

Still, before Wax delivered her speech, Yale College Dean Jonathan Holloway spoke before the YPU, asking members to respect freedom of expression at Yale.

“By preventing anyone from bringing ideas into the light of day, we deny a fundamental freedom,” Holloway said, going on to remind students of the University’s policies regarding disruption and appropriate demonstration at University-sponsored events like YPU debates. Five Yale police officers stood at the back of the hall for the duration of the event.

The chairs of two of the YPU’s left-leaning parties also spoke before Wax’s speech, stating that they wished the debate had been postponed out of sensitivity to students who felt shaken by the past week’s protests and discussions about race. The YPU’s guest speakers for the fall semester were invited last spring; Wax was not invited in response to ongoing campus conversations about race at Yale.

Emaline Kelso ’17, the chair of the Liberal Party, spoke first, saying that the YPU governing body,

by permitting the debate to proceed as planned, “refuses to be sensitive to the needs of its constituents, members and friends.”

Layla Treuhaft-Ali ’17, the chair of the Party of the Left, said her party did not approve of the way the YPU handled the debate, and it did not represent what her party wanted from the Union.

Her party wishes to participate in debates that contribute to constructive campus conversations at appropriate times and not debates that are held just for the sake of debating, she said.

“This week we heard from students of color that they felt excluded from institutions and discourse at Yale,” Treuhaft-Ali told the crowd. “The Party of the Left cannot condone a Union that willfully ignores what’s happening outside its walls and prides itself on being unresponsive to its community.”

Still, Treuhaft-Ali said she had no intention of preventing Wax from speaking.

The debate proceeded as planned. During her speech, Wax cited several statistics about the academic performance of underrepresented minorities like African-Americans who are accepted to colleges and universities as part of affirmative action. She criticized affirmative action as an ineffective method for promoting equality and called it detrimental to the institutions and people

who are touched by it.

Wax argued that discrepancies between racial groups should be amended during early childhood, not when students are applying to college. Too many resources are being put toward affirmative action in a “diversity machine” that seeks diversity for its own sake, and not enough energy is going into improving the quality of early education, Wax argued.

“What does [affirmative action] do for blacks in America today? My answer is pretty much nothing,” she said.

During Wax’s speech, about a dozen members of the YPU, including the two who had asked to postpone the debate and members of the political left, rose and walked to the back of the room, where they turned their backs on Wax and raised their fists in the air. Several students cried during her speech.

Typically, during YPU debates, after the guest speaker has finished, students deliver speeches for and against the guest’s argument. But students from several parties — including some who agreed with Wax’s arguments — instead used their time to further criticize the YPU for not respecting the voices of students who might find it difficult to participate in the debate due to its subject matter.

Party, said she mostly agreed with Wax’s arguments that affirmative action tends to reinforce negative stereotypes and create new ones. With socioeconomic diversity also comes academic divergences, she said — and for one, she personally feels academically unprepared to be at Yale.

Still, she said, the debate came at an “inopportune time due to the general campus climate.”

Lifting the Gemstones: Writing Contemporary Poems in the Biblical Tradition

Aia Sarycheva ’16, a member of the Independent Party and former president of the YPU, said that although the YPU demonstrated its commitment to open discourse, last night it was not listening to all voices on campus.

“I stand here to protest, which is its own form of speech,” she said. “We need your help.”

Wax’s speeches at other colleges have sparked protests and

opposition. When she spoke at Middlebury College in 2013, students filled the room where the talk was held, with many displaying signs that called her “racist,” according to the school’s campus newspaper.

With just two graduating seniors in goalkeeper Rachel Ames ’16 and captain and defender Ally Grossman ’16, members of the team noted a positive outlook for next season.

To fill their shoes, goalkeeper Maritza Grillo ’19, the only other netminder currently on Yale’s roster, may see time inside the 18-yard line next season. Ames added that defender Carlin Hudson ’18, who suffered an early seasonending injury, will likely return as center back, Grossman’s past position.

“I think it’s really good that a lot of the freshmen played,” Ames said. “A lot of them played a majority of the time, so next year they know what to expect. Of course the freshmen went in with the talent and skill that they needed, but it’s a whole different thing seeing them progress with experience, on the bench and on the field.”

Meredith added that his

With plenty of talent returning, the 21-year Yale veteran coach holds height-

ened expectations after the last-place finish in 2015.

“We could all do better, offensively and defensively,” Meredith said. “Everybody should be improving in the program.”

The eight freshmen hail from two countries — England

and the United States — and three states — California, New York and Florida.

Beckett seeks input tive change in the wake of the recent events on campus,” men’s soccer player Max Cook ’17 said.

Women’s golf head coach Chawwadee Rompothong ’00 also noted that the Yale athletic community can have a large impact on the campus as a whole, but said she has not spoken directly with her players, who are in their offseason, about the issue.

Football head coach Tony Reno said that he has discussed the ongoing events with his players, and he views the diverse makeup of his team as a positive factor in the team’s

ATHLETES FROM PAGE 12 school’s football team, citing issues with Wolfe’s handling of racist incidents against students of color, staged a boycott.

The players refused to participate in their next game — which will take place this Saturday — until Wolfe stepped down.

The boycott received national attention, and on Monday morning, two days after the boycott was announced, Wolfe announced his resignation.

“I think that athletes and athletics, as illustrated by the University of Missouri, can use their position to affect posi-

ability to handle these discussions.

“One of the beauties of our team is that we have guys from every corner of the country, many different ethnicities, religions and races,” Reno said.

“The melting pot of the University is Yale football, as far as we see it.”

Cook added that although athletes often spend much time at practice, he and several of his athlete friends have been participating in events around campus this past week, including the March of Resilience on Monday.

Football player Bo Hines ’18

said he has spoken to many athletes who are currently pondering initiatives to help stimulate the ongoing movement.

“Every athlete who I have spoken to fully supports the movement to end discrimination and marginalization on this campus,” Hines said.

“The athletes, along with the entire Yale community, must be willing to stand up for what is right.”

There are 33 varsity athletic teams at Yale.

“A lot of the guys are bigger and older, and there’s a little less space and time with the puck,” Snively said. “I knew it was going to be a little bit of a transition. It’s never going to be seamless.”

Despite the Ivy League-mandated late start to the season delaying his Yale debut, Snively — alongside forward linemates Chris Izmirlian ’17 and Ryan Hitchcock ’18 — did not waste time before making an impact.

In the season opener against Princeton, Snively assisted on Izmirlian’s game-winning goal.

Their line has only gotten hotter: the trio has accounted for more than half the team’s goals so far this campaign.

“I think we think the same way when we have the puck or don’t have the puck,” Snively said. “I think we’ve been doing a pretty good job of transitioning fast and just getting the puck to areas where we can use our skill.”

After the pair of scores in Boston this past weekend, Snively owns four goals to his name through four games. Three other collegiate players currently average a goal per contest: two are NHL draftees, and the third is 24 years old. All three are taller and heavier than Snively.

Standing at 5-foot-9, the rookie is on the shorter end of the Elis’ roster. Yet Snively believes his stature complements his style rather than hindering his game.

“Size I’ve never really seen as a disadvantage,” Snively said. “I’m a little weaker than some of the guys, but it gives me a low center of gravity. [I’m] quicker and a little more slippery.”

That brand of play was particularly useful in the final minute of Yale’s game against the Crimson, when Snively, following behind a pair of opposing defensemen, took a pass from forward John Hayden ’17 with under 40 seconds to play and rifled the equalizer into the Harvard net while falling to one knee.

In his introduction to the Ivy League’s most historic rivalry, Snively took on the challenge of

facing a top-10 team in a sold-out arena on the road and thrived. “[I’ve been] really impressed [with Snively],” said forward Mike Doherty ’17, who led the team with 12 goals last season. “The stuff he does in practice you [saw] out there at the end [of the Harvard game]. He’s really skilled and he can make plays so you know, we need him.”

According to the freshman, who has already matched the four goals scored by forward John Baiocco ’18 that led all Yale newcomers last season, he is continuing to work on strength and consistency as his debut campaign progresses. And though he has played everywhere from Saskatoon to Siberia, he has still yet to hit the ice for an official game at Ingalls Rink.

He will not need to wait long: the team’s home opener against Cornell on Nov. 20 is on the horizon. That Friday night, the atmosphere will likely be markedly different from his experiences in Sioux City and as a visiting Bulldog.

“I’m not used to playing for a school. There’s more school pride on the line, [which] adds a little more incentive, especially when you only play teams twice a year in our league,” Snively said. “I’m really excited to play [at home].

I’ve heard it’s really fun.”

Before that home opener, Yale faces another round of road ECAC Hockey games against Rensselaer and Union.

And although the season has just begun for the Elis, the rookie’s impressive start has provided a veteran-laden locker room with a youthful boost.

“He’s smart, he’s quick, he’s skilled [and] he’s pretty cool in the big moments,” head coach Keith Allain ’80 said. “I think he’s going to be a nice player.”

Although he is just four games into his collegiate career, Snively has certainly proven to be a nice addition thus far.

ARTS & CULTURE Sterling hosts first exhibit of Asian-American material

BY JOEY YE STAFF REPORTER On the day of his expected college graduation, Yonekazu Satoda was taken to a Japanese internment camp.

In his diary, Satoda wrote, “Today was supposed to be my graduation from Cal.” Dated May 15, 1942, the entry is a prelude to nearly three years of internment. Satoda’s diary, along with roughly 100 other materials from Yale’s Sterling Memorial Library and Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, compose “Out of the Desert,” the first studentcurated exhibition at Yale to feature Japanese internment materi-

als from both libraries. The show includes photographs, posters, newspapers and correspondence from the Japanese internment period during World War II, during which time over 127,000 United States citizens of Japanese ancestry were imprisoned in internment camps. Courtney Sato GRD ’19, who curated “Out of the Desert,” said it is the first exhibit at Yale to be entirely devoted to Asian-American history.

“The exhibit demonstrates that not only students should be interested in what’s here at Yale, but Asian-American scholars should be interested in what’s here as well,” Sato said. “In a place

that could have a much more robust Asian American Studies program, Yale actually has a rich history to support that area.”

Timothy Dwight Master Mary Lui, who teaches a course on Asian-American history, said the process of organizing the exhibit began more than three years ago, when Sato started cataloguing any materials in Yale library collections that related to Japanese internment in the United States during WWII. Sato highlighted Satoda’s diary, which was acquired by Beinecke curator George Miles, as one of the exhibition’s most important pieces. She noted that Satoda, now 94 years old, is

one of few Japanese-American internees still alive today. Lui said other key works in the exhibition include the original posters produced within the camps.

Through her research, Sato said she discovered that a large portion of the materials included in the exhibition were the result of a 1940s correspondence between then-Stanford librarian Nathan Van Patten and librarian James Babb at Yale.

“Van Patten kept stressing in his correspondence how important it was that Yale hold on to these materials,” Sato explained.

“He said he saw this as being one of the largest collections on the East Coast and I think it’s amaz-

ing how someone was collecting something that important during that time.”

A formal opening reception for “Out of the Desert” took place Thursday afternoon. Columbia International and Public Affairs professor Gary Okihiro, who recently made a 2,000-book donation to Yale’s Asian American Cultural Center, delivered opening remarks to an assembled crowd that included Satoda himself. Miles, who also attended the event, said he hopes the exhibit will increase the visibility of Yale’s collections of materials related to Japanese-American internment, as well as encourage both students and faculty to pur-

sue research related to the Japanese-American community.

“Many of the materials that the students see in the exhibit, if they’ve taken or are taking the Asian-American history class, they will have encountered them before in some form,” Lui said.

“Hopefully some of that will come to light much more when they see it themselves, and I hope it will spark some interest in digging into the history more deeply rather than just doing the assigned reading in the class.”

“Out of the Desert” will remain on view through February 2016.

Algerian journalist discusses award-winning novel

BY VEENA MCCOOLE CONTRIBUTING REPORTER Algerian novelist and journalist Kamel Daoud gave a talk at the Whitney Humanities Center Monday afternoon, reflecting on his experience penning the critically acclaimed novel “The Meursault Investigation” and his journalistic endeavors during wartime.

Daoud, who publishes a political column entitled “Raïna raïkoum,” meaning “Our opinion is yours,” in the Algerian newspaper “Le Quotidien d’Oran,” is best known for his debut novel, “The Meursault Investigation,” which was published in 2013 and

has received prestigious literary awards such as the Prix Goncourt. The lecture discussed his book, which can be read as a continuation of Albert Camus’ “The Stranger.”

“Kamel Daoud’s visit to Yale couldn’t have come at a better time, as we are asking hard questions on campus about exactly what it means to be ‘othered,’” French professor Alice Kaplan GRD ’81 said. “That very question is at the core of his novel.”

The title of Daoud’s novel, “The Meursault Investigation,” alludes to the name of “The Stranger’s” protagonist, and has caused some to view the work as a counter-narrative to Camus’

novel, according to Imane Terhmina GRD ’20, a graduate student in French who attended the event. During the talk, however, Daoud stated that the book is not a response to Camus, but instead “at once a variation, continuation and a liberation from Camus.”

Additionally, the novel uses its author’s personal experience to emphasize Algeria’s role in the narrative as more than just a setting.

Despite infusing the novel with insights about Algeria gleaned from his career as a journalist, Daoud insisted, in an interview with the News, that for him the worlds of journalism and

literature are mutually exclusive.

“In literature, I try to write about the human condition, and in my journalistic endeavors, I try to assert my political engagement,” he said. “They are two separate worlds.”

Like much of his reporting, Daoud’s novel has sparked backlash from a cleric who insisted he be tried for blasphemy, Daoud said. During a book tour in France, Daoud added, an imam said that the author should be put on trial for insulting Islam and publicly executed. As a consequence of expressing his political views, Daoud said he has had to be increasingly vigilant about his public life and the safety of his

children, but he remains committed to writing about politics.

“I make an immense effort to write about these topics in the same way as I did before,” he explained. “I don’t want fear to change me.”

Daoud said he thinks the death threats he has received are indirect messages from “the regime,” attempting to make him leave Algeria. Regardless of the struggles he faces as a journalist, Daoud said he is unwilling to leave, noting that if he were to do so, his criticisms of the government would lose legitimacy.

In the interview, Daoud noted several differences he sees between journalism in Algeria

and reporting conducted in areas with a more liberal press, like the United States.

“If you write about religion in the U.S, you’re not risking your life,” Daoud said. “If you talk about corruption here [in the U.S.], you won’t be killed. If you talk about female rights, you won’t be harassed like you would be in Algeria.”

“The Meursault Investigation” has been adapted for the stage, is currently being translated to more than 25 languages and will soon become a motion picture.

“Dance is the hidden language of the soul of the body.”

MARTHA GRAHAM AMERICAN DANCER AND CHOREOGRAPHER

YaleDancers’ fall show incorporates diversity of styles

BY MIRANDA ESCOBAR CONTRIBUTING REPORTER Audience members last Saturday night felt the ground shake beneath them as attendees of the YaleDancers’ fall show expressed appreciation for the performance by stomping enthusiastically in their seats, filling the auditorium with calls of “Yeah, YD,” and “I see you!”

The show, which took place on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Educational Center for the Arts Theater, brought together pieces from a diverse array of dance styles. Incorporating fastpaced group dance numbers, intimate duets and dynamic solos, the production was almost entirely choreographed by the dancers themselves.

“The blend of styles isn’t an explicit goal of the company’s, but it comes naturally since our company members come from all different dance backgrounds and are all willing to try new styles,” said Kaylyn Williams ’17, YaleDancers co-director.

The performance opened with a striking tableau of posed dancers, their silhouettes illuminated

by a bright red backdrop. As soon as the opening beats of Beyoncé’s “Partition” erupted from the speakers, the dancers unfroze, filling the stage with a blend of sharp hip-hop movements and smooth contemporary turns and leaps.

Choreographer Devin Hilly ’18 explained that her number, the show’s opener entitled “Brooklyn Brim,” mixed her own contemporary dance style with the hip hop experience of Sabrina Rostkowski ’19, Naiya Speight-Leggett ’19 and Monica Tuñez ’19, three freshmen who helped her choreograph the piece.

“The mix of hip-hop and contemporary was intentional,” Hilly explained. “I tend to choreograph to songs that frequently change mood and/or tempo, so I inadvertently end up incorporating many styles in one piece.”

The fusion of dance styles exhibited in Hilly’s piece was a theme that was evident throughout the show’s various performances. Classical ballet sequences such as pirouettes and grands jetés were performed alongside more experimental contemporary choreography, while quick hip-hop kicks were accom-

panied by sultry jazz poses.

In putting together their dances, Williams said that company members were given “free reign” to choreograph in whichever style they chose. She added that the show’s choreographic variety represented the diversity of experience and style of the company’s dancers, rather than an intentional decision made by the group as a whole.

My background is in circus performing, [so] creating a lyra piece comes much more naturally to me than a dance on the ground.

GRACIE WHITE ’16 The show’s numbers also sought to incorporate company members’ talents outside of dance, such as acrobatics and musical theater — incorporating props, intricate lifts, live vocals and aerial acrobatics into the

production. Halfway through the performance, dancer Gracie White ’16 attached a lyra — a large hoop hanging on a chain — to the ceiling. White proceeded to climb into the hoop and perform an entire number suspended in midair.

“My background is in circus performing, [so] creating a lyra piece also comes much more naturally to me than a dance on the ground,” White explained.

Despite their diverse backgrounds, dancers emphasized that YaleDancers’ unity is what ultimately leads to their success as a company.

Tuñez highlighted this sense of community among company members, adding that she thought it helped her adjust to a new environment as a freshman.

“My first semester with YD has been absolutely amazing,” Tuñez said. “It was comforting to find such a tight-knit family here among the chaos of getting to used to Yale.”

ECA Theater is located at 55 Audubon St. in New Haven.

YUAG lecture centers on naming practices

BY SUSANNAH KRAPF CONTRIBUTING REPORTER At the Yale University Art Gallery this past Friday, English professor Ruth Yeazell GRD ’71 talked titles.

In a lecture titled “Picture Titles: How and Why Western Paintings Acquired Their Names” after her recently released book of the same name, she explored the history of titling as well as titles’ effects on understanding and interpreting works of art.

After, introducing questions about

where titles come from, what functions they serve and how they interact with the art objects they accompany, the talk presented a few of the responses proposed by Yeazell’s book, drawing on examples that ranged from 17th-century Dutch oil paintings to abstract work by contemporary artist Jasper Johns. She noted that her book, partly inspired by her own fascination with titles, explores the influence titles can have on the understanding of a work of art, and seeks to debunk notions of there being “something illicit about reading

rather than looking.”

“I’ll start with a confession,” Yeazell said. “I am the sort of person whose eyes always drift down to the label next to the image when I go to a gallery, almost before I even look at the image itself.”

Her discussion examined how a title can influence what one sees in a work of art, a phenomenon Yeazell terms the “hermeneutic power of titling.” Exploring this power in relation to pieces like British painter Joseph Mallord William Turner’s “Keelmen Heaving in Coals at Night,” she explained

how titles, which have the power to influence viewers’ interpretations of the narrative a work presents, can be entirely manufactured by the “middlemen” who handle a piece throughout history, and not its creator. In the case of the Turner painting, Yeazell said that the work’s current owner, the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., changed the painting’s original title to “Keelmen Heaving in Coals by Moonlight.”

Yeazell noted that while she questions the morality of the choice to change a title from that given

by the artist, she thinks that such modifications are often inevitable.

“If you are an artist who wants that title to stick, you have to really push for it,” Yeazell said.

Kar Jin Ong ’17 said he was intrigued by Yeazell’s description of how titles changed through history as they passed into the hands of auctioneers, curators and private owners, adding that he was particularly interested in who serve as today’s “middlemen” and whether titles might be something imposed on works of art, rather than something that reflects an

artist’s autonomous choice.

Olivia Armandroff ’17, an art history major, who said she was perturbed by the National Gallery’s title change, had similar concerns.

“As someone who wants to work in a museum someday, the question is what is the morality of changing the titles?” Armandroff said.

“There’s usually an adjustment period … as a freshman and for [Joe Snively ’19] there just hasn’t been one” MITCH WITEK ’16 MEN’S HOCKEY

Snively ’19 makes immediate impact MEN’S HOCKEY

Athletics addresses campus climate

BY DANIELA BRIGHENTI STAFF REPORTER

DAVID WELLER/CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER

Forward Joe Snively ’19 scored twice against Harvard last weekend and currently leads the Elis with four goals in four games.

BY HOPE ALLCHIN AND DAVID WELLER STAFF REPORTER AND CONTRIBUTING REPORTER Freshman forward Joe Snively ’19 is listed at 165 pounds, the lightest of any player on the No. 8 Yale men’s hockey team. Nevertheless, the slightest Bulldog has been perhaps the most impactful of any player on the team, and his play thus far — including his heroics in the team’s biggest game of its young season — is turning heads his way.

Through the Elis’ first four contests, Snively leads the team in goals, points and faceoff percentage. It was his one-timer in the dying seconds of Yale’s 2–2 tie at No. 6 Harvard, however — the rookie’s second score of the game — that confirmed his arrival on the collegiate hockey landscape.

“There’s usually an adjustment period coming in as a freshman, and for him there just hasn’t been one,” captain and defenseman

Mitch Witek ’16 said.

Snively is not a typical Yale hockey freshman. In fact, he is not a typical Yale hockey player at all: he grew up in Herndon, Virginia, making him only the second Virginian to ever don an Eli sweater, and the first to do so in over 50 years.

It was Snively’s father, Richard, a Canada native, who turned his son onto hockey at an early age.

“My dad grew up in Montreal, so he played when he was young,” Snively said. “So I started [playing] when I was four or five, and started skating when I was three or four.”

After playing for local club teams in Virginia for several years, Snively moved to Connecticut following his freshman year of high school. He enrolled in the Selects Hockey Academy at the South Kent School, a national junior program geared toward players with collegiate and professional aspirations.

During his time at South Kent, Snively began to seriously consider where he would attend college.

“My sophomore year at South Kent is when I was looking at a lot of schools,” Snively said. “[Former Yale assistant coach] Dan Muse, the guy who recruited me, reached out the summer before my 10thgrade year. I really liked him and really loved the school — it had all the things that I wanted.”

But while Snively was catching the eye of Yale — coincidentally, in the same year the Bulldogs won the national championship — the 16-year-old was also drawing attention from the United States Hockey League, the top junior league in the nation.

After spending a year at South Kent, Snively was drafted by the USHL’s Sioux City Musketeers. In his three seasons with the Musketeers, the forward scored 50 goals and totaled 125 points over 159 games.

It was after Snively’s second season with Sioux City that he decided, with the support of the Yale hockey staff, to defer matriculating and to play an extra year on the junior circuit, which caps players at the age of 20. Snively turned 19 during his final year with the Musketeers.

“I was originally supposed to come [to Yale] as a true freshman,” Snively said. “But I decided I wanted to take a year to develop and physically mature. [Yale] left it up to me.”

The ensuing 2014–15 campaign proved to be Snively’s best in the USHL. He doubled his career totals in goals and points while boasting a 0.220 shot percentage, the highest on the Sioux City roster.

And when he at last arrived in New Haven, Snively noticed the differences between the USHL and collegiate hockey.

As leaders of cultural centers and residential colleges have extended support to students who have been affected by recent campus events regarding race and alleged discrimination, Yale’s athletic administration is taking similar steps to comfort and accommodate student-athletes.

On Friday, Director of Athletics Tom Beckett sent out an email to all varsity athletes encouraging students to reach out to administrators, coaches and teammates if they have any questions about the current campus climate. Beckett sent a second message Monday, asking student-athletes to fill out a one-page survey with their thoughts on current happenings as well as their experiences with marginalization in general. The survey received over 200 replies in 24 hours, Beckett said. In addition to the administration’s response, some coaches have also been meeting with their teams in order to address the current state of campus climate.

“The Yale Athletics family strives to create a safe, welcoming place for all,” Beckett wrote in his Friday email.

“Our doors are always open.

In athletics we want to be a part of the dialogue and part of the solution to make Yale the best place it can be.”

The survey asked studentathletes about on-campus experiences, such as whether they had ever felt marginalized at Yale and if they were concerned with “the situations that are currently happening on campus.”

However, the survey also had more proactive questions, asking student-athletes how they think the athletic department might

contribute to a potential solution, and if studentathletes would be interested in attending an open meeting to share thoughts and ideas. Beckett said the event, termed “Listening to our Athletes,” is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 16 at 9:30 p.m.

Student-athletes interviewed said they were satisfied with the athletics administration’s outreach effort.

“Mr. Beckett, [baseball head coach John] Stuper and our captain, Chris Moates ’16, have all been very open to discussion and have been extremely willing to hear our thoughts, concerns and whatever else we might need to express about the situation,” baseball player Harrison White ’17 said.

Chandler Gregoire ’17, who wrote a column for the News on Monday about her experience as one of the few students of color on Yale’s sailing teams, expressed similar sentiments. After her column was published, both her coach and her captain reached out to her in support. Gregoire said she will be meeting with the athletic department to discuss solutions to the problems she has encountered as a minority student on the team. These problems include being significantly less wealthy than her teammates and feeling pressured to not mention their difference in race.

Gregoire also touched upon the impact studentathletes can have in their community, citing recent events at the University of Missouri as an example of what student-athletes can achieve.

Freshmen deliver on expectations

BY NICOLE WELLS STAFF REPORTER Despite a fall to the bottom of the Ivy League standings, the Yale women’s soccer team’s 2015 season did not end without a bright spot — over the past few months, the Bulldogs discovered the fountain of youth as the freshman class led the Elis in nearly every statistical category.

WOMEN’S SOCCER Yale’s eight newcomers made 76 starts out of a potential 128, scored 15 of the team’s 18 goals and notched 11 of the team’s 18 assists. The performance of the Eli class of 2019, which amateur soccer website Top Drawer Soccer rated as the 12th best recruiting class in the country last May, bodes well for Yale’s future.

“Nearly all of our goal-scorers from this season are returning for the next, which is great,” head coach Rudy Meredith said.

Yale’s freshmen had large shoes to fill after last year, when Yale battled its way to a third-place finish in the Ivy League — its best result since

2011. Five out of the seven graduating seniors from the class of 2015 started in a minimum 11 of 17 games, and multiple Elis racked up post-season honors: goalkeeper Elise Wilcox ’15 was named Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year, defender Muriel Battaglia ’15 earned a first-team AllIvy selection alongside midfielder Meredith Speck ’15 — her third consecutive appearance on the first team — and forward Melissa Gavin ’15 was named to the All-Ivy second team.

After those seniors’ graduation, the void left Meredith with the heavy task of replacing such an accomplished class. After the early honor from Top Drawer Soccer, Meredith’s freshmen quickly made an impact when the beginning of the season on Aug. 28 came around. When the announcer called out the players for Yale in its opener against Arkansas, five freshmen received spots in the starting lineup.

“We had high expectations coming in, they were talking about our freshman class,” midfielder Sofia Griff ’19 said. “We had a lot of expectations and a lot of pressure on us to do all of these great things.”

Sixteen games later, those freshmen look back on achievements not just by virtue of getting on the field early and often, but because of their performance once in the game.

Forward Michelle Alozie ’19 and fellow rookie Griff matched each other exactly as the top offensive performers for Yale, tying for fifth in the Ivy League with 16 points each and seventh in the conference with six goals apiece. Alozie added Ivy League Rookie of the Week honors during the third and fourth weeks of the season, and midfielder Keri Cavallo ’19 was given the same award on Week 8 after scoring her first career goal in Yale’s 1–0 win Dartmouth — the Elis’ lone Ivy victory.

The freshman standouts were a highlight of an otherwise disappointing season for Yale. The Bulldogs finished the season with records of 4–10–2 overall and 1–6–0 inconference, marking the first time in 30 years that Yale finished last in the Ivy League.

“It was a rough season, obviously,” Alozie said. “I think at the begin-
