As conversations centered around racism and discrimination continue on campus, Yale alumni are also making their voices heard — including through an open letter supporting recent student solidarity efforts that has garnered more than 2,100 signatures.

Over the past two weeks, alumni have expressed their views on campus events through a variety of means, from formal exchanges with administrators to articles published in national media outlets. To keep alumni apprised of recent events, University President Peter Salovey sent an email to the alumni community on Nov. 11 thanking those who had already shared their perspectives with him and Yale College Dean Jonathan Holloway, and sharing the emails they had sent to the Yale community over the preceding week.

“A number of alumni have contacted me, primarily through email, expressing support for our minority students, as well as an interest in making sure that Yale is a campus where there can be a free exchange of ideas — and I think it’s important to note that many of these email messages express both sentiments,” Salovey told the News.

“Anyone with an experience of Yale has a role in this conversation, because they have insights, they have helpful inclinations and I listen to reactions from and advice from essentially everywhere in the Yale community.”

Beyond their engagement with the Yale administration, alumni have also voiced

ULA holds 10th Thai Taste protest

BY JIAHUI HU AND REBECCA KARABUS STAFF REPORTERS For the 10th time in six months, Unidad Latina en Acción protested alleged wage theft outside Thai Taste Friday night.

ULA, a New Haven-based immigrants’ rights group, alleges that Thai Taste owner

Roger Jaruch owes three exemployees more than $37,000 in unpaid wages at Thai Taste and Rice Pot, an East Haven restaurant Jaruch also owns.

Protesters said they have been sending letters to Jaruch asking him to compensate these workers since May, but have not yet received acknowledgment of wrongdoing. ULA organizer

John Lugo said the organization will continue to protest, encouraging patrons of Thai Taste to reconsider dining there, until Jaruch repays his workers.

“They have been playing with us, so we’re going to leave it to the Connecticut Department of Labor to take action against these restaurants,”

Lugo said. “In the meantime we will continue to protest and boycott the restaurants.”

Lugo said ULA left documents detailing the wage theft allegations against Jaruch at his attorney’s office in September. Jaruch told the News he responded by sending a letter to Lugo, stating that he is prepared to go through appropri-

ate legal channels to rectify the situation. But Lugo alleged that there was no response until Friday night, when Jaruch’s attorney told Lugo that Jaruch is currently in Thailand but is willing to meet in December.

Frats, sororities speak on diversity

BY JOEY YE STAFF REPORTER Over the past week, several groups within Yale’s Greek community have promised concrete measures to make the University’s sororities and fraternities more inclusive and welcoming to people of color.

All four of Yale’s sororities — Alpha Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma and Pi Beta Phi — have pledged to be allies of women of color and to improve Yale’s Greek life system. Among their Yale fraternity counterparts, both Sigma Nu and Sigma Phi Epsilon have announced that they will work to incorporate diversity and cultural sensitivity into their own fraternities as well.

Steps the sororities and fraternities have promised range from creating reading groups to an anonymous reporting system for complaints against fraternity brothers.

“We do not condone racism or misogyny, and we

pledge to be allies to the women of color at Yale, and everywhere, who deserve an inclusive place to call home,” read Pi Phi’s statement, which was posted to Facebook on Thursday.

Statements from the four sororities all came on

the heels of a Panhellenic Council meeting last Tuesday, where the Council — a governing body that coordinates formal sorority recruitment at Yale — discussed its role within the SEE DIVERSITY PAGE 6

Republicans unveil state budget plan

BY NOAH DAPONTE-SMITH STAFF REPORTER As Connecticut grapples with a daunting budget deficit, the state’s Republican leadership unveiled their slate of proposed cuts at a press conference Friday in Hartford.

But the announcement was overshadowed by Republican anger over the premature leak of the proposals on Thursday, after they discussed their plans in a closed-door meeting with Gov. Dannel Malloy and Democratic leadership. Republicans say they had an understanding with Malloy and the Democrats that the content of that meeting would remain private, but the proposals were leaked to The CT Mirror shortly after the meeting ended. Speaking alongside House Minority Leader Themis Klarides, Senate Minority Leader Len Fasano ’81, R-North Haven, condemned the leak. He said it was done for “political advantages,” adding that he doubts the leak

originated from the Governor’s office or with the Republicans.

“Rep. Klarides and I … put forth plans and ideas as we understood, a room that had an understanding that what was said in that room and what was talked about in that room would remain in that room,” Fasano said. “And apparently, the sanctity with which we believed we were negotiating turned out to be not true.”

The leak, Fasano said, gives the Republicans “great pause” in future closed-door budget meetings with the Democratic leadership. The closed-door meetings have been part of an effort to eliminate the hole in the state’s $40 billion biennial budget.

Hartford faces a formidable challenge in balancing the state budget in the next two fiscal years. The state faces a gap of between $350 million and $370 million for fiscal year 2016, in addition to a projected deficit SEE BUDGET PAGE 6

.COMMENT “You want to know what marginalized really looks like? Work a blueyaledailynews.com/opinion

The “next” worse Yale L

ast Thursday evening, 200 students with the moniker “Next Yale” presented Yale President Peter Salovey with a list of demands. He promised a response sometime this week. As the administration ponders how to respond, it’s a good time to think about the purpose of Yale as a university, and how Next Yale’s demands relate to that purpose.

We are here because, apart from our career aspirations, we find the pursuit of knowledge to be a worthwhile vocation. As Michael Oakshott, the British political thinker, said to his students at the London School of Economics in 1939, “‘Society,’ no doubt, will make demands upon you soon enough … [But] you have come here to get acquainted with truth and error, not with merely what is and what is not serviceable to a lunatic productivist society.”

The boundary between truth and error remains, at the very least, difficult to see.

Whether our knowledge is limited innately or simply as a function of inadequate technology, we do not know. Our knowledge of the limits of human knowledge remains itself limited.

And so we will have to be content to live in a good amount of darkness.

The University, with its commitment to scholarship, to teaching and to discourse, provides a place for those most committed to groping in that darkness.

And though there may be occasional discoveries, both the most important answers and the questions most worth asking in the first instance remain fundamentally hidden. As a great teacher of political philosophy Leo Strauss wrote, “As long as there is no wisdom but only the quest for wisdom, the evidence of all solutions is necessarily smaller than the evidence of the problems.”

If this is true, then the proper attitude toward one’s opinions is a good deal of doubt. And therefore the proper attitude toward the marketplace of opinions is an open and tolerant one.

For as long as we think this, we should welcome disagreement.

Not merely permit it in the public square, but seek it. We should, as Strauss writes, have the “boldness implied in the resolve to regard … the average opinions as extreme opinions which are at least as likely to be wrong as the most strange.”

Many have claimed that the debate at Yale is not fundamentally about “free speech.” Strictly speaking, they are correct. None of Next Yale’s demands would censor anyone. No speech would be disallowed that is currently permitted.

But the demands, if implemented, would narrow, not widen, our discourse. The demands also evince on the part of those making them an attitude hostile toward rigorous debate. Take the request for a “bias reporting system.” For fear of formal reprimand, students

and faculty would likely self-censor.

While everyone should support a U n i ve rs i t y culture that abhors outCOLE bigotry ARONSON right — “white girls only” Necessary parties and and proper the like — there’s a good deal of controversy about what qualifies as. Any “bias” guidelines given would probably be construed widely, to encompass views without which any discussion would be impoverished. Imagine, for instance, that a professor argued that the breakdown of the black family has exacerbated poverty in the black community. Such a person might make the argument with total sympathy toward the black community. But, like former Assistant Secretary of Labor Daniel Patrick Moynihan when he made this very argument in 1965, such a person might be accused of bias or racism, instead of presenting respectable arguments in good faith. Accusations and name-calling would replace evidence and logic as the way to win a debate.

Similarly, removing the Christakises from their positions in Silliman would send the message that challenging unpopular views is to be discouraged. Many have said their job is, to borrow a phrase, not about creating an intellectual space — it’s about creating a home here.

But a home, especially at a university, shouldn’t be sanitized from difficult conversations.

Those calling for the Christakises’ removal are claiming the opposite. They are upset about or offended by — that is, they vehemently disagree with — what Erika Christakis wrote in her email. (Of course, if Christakis had expressed equally controversial views agreeing with theirs, we would be hearing nothing about the “role of the master,” but never mind.) The University should encourage such disagreement. Christakis is simply adding her views to the debate. Let others support or oppose her.

A University is a community of those who want to reason together toward knowledge.

Subjugating this process to subjective definitions of “bias,” and emotions more generally, will necessarily vitiate it. In order to pursue truth all the way, all must sacrifice their intellectual and emotional “safety” — euphemisms for complacency. If in the next Yale fewer make the sacrifice — and, therefore, engage in the process — it will be a far worse Yale.

My struggle?

Why Asian solidarity

I

n light of the recent racial controversies on campus, I, an Asian non-American student, feel appropriately yet disconcertingly removed from the narrative. When students exclaim, “Support women of color!” they do not seem to be referring to people like me. I also understand that if I truly want to be supportive, I must not intrude upon the spaces meant for other minority groups who are pursuing justice and inclusion. The spotlight is theirs, not mine, and rightly so. Yet somehow, silence still feels stifling.

Silence still feels wrong.

Representation of people of color does not immediately make people think about Asian representation. Nevertheless, Asians remain underrepresented in political and executive positions across North America. In the mainstream media, Asian culture is often painted in broad strokes of martial arts, chopsticks and exaggerated accents. Hollywood rarely casts Asian actors, even for Asian roles. Generally, the world considers Asians to be less vocal in their fight for equality and less attached to issues of racial identity.

How can we speak up and ask for more when society continues to say that we are already privileged enough? This dismissive attitude is amplified by seemingly benign tropes that ultimately do more harm than good — for example, the stereotype of the smart Asian. I cannot comfortably laugh it off when people define my ambition by my race. Or when they attribute my success not to my hard work and perseverance, but to something completely out of my control. I cannot comfortably remind people that yes, Asians have suffered systemic racism in the past.

And no, Asians who ask that their struggles be recognized do not at all intend to eclipse other groups’ painful experiences.

We are partners. We are in this together.

As an international student, I have felt even more out of place the past week. Racial tensions are much higher in the United States than in Canada, because of a complex and gritty history I never had a chance to learn about in my high school. So I suppose it’s difficult for me to identify with the struggle on campus. I want to care, but I keep hearing that I am a “model minority,” that I am somehow complicit in the oppression of

other communities. I’m confused, and I’m worried about being confused. I want to learn what these terms mean in an American context. Yet, if I ask a question about the American Civil War, about emancipation or slavery reparations or about the Confederate flag and its implications, will I be mocked for ignorance? Will I understand the essence of this history if I have never lived it, walked down its streets or breathed its air?

Every Yalie comes to New Haven from a different place.

Will we be able to tie all these threads together into a common understanding of cultural appropriation, privilege and racial exclusion? I am optimistic that, one day, we will. The first step is noticing the interconnectedness of the difficulties we face, especially for those of us who are people of color.

REPRESENTATION OF PEOPLE OF COLOR DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY MAKE PEOPLE THINK ABOUT ASIAN REPRESENTATION Perhaps the past week represents a problem that is too complex for me to parse out by myself. Regardless, this is my campus. This is your campus.

This is a communal space that must be made safer and happier for everyone. This is more than a race issue; it is a human one. Universal human values — compassion, patience, respect — must be upheld. Yale should encourage not only discussion and activism, but also inquiry.

We should not feel uncomfortable trying to learn more about what is happening around us, and we should not have to feel guilty trying to put ourselves in others’ shoes to better see their perspective. All of our hurt is valid. This narrative belongs to all of us.

S

unday night, I, along with every Yale student who identify as Chinese-American received a “Statement Regarding the Past Week” from the Chinese American Students Association.

The email asks that we stand in solidarity with women of color because as part of the model minority, we “often … forget the fact that our status as a privileged minority group … does come at the expense of fellow people of color.” And as a result of “benefitting” from the current social fabric of this campus, “we as AsianAmericans are complicit in the oppression of those communities, especially when we remain silent on issues that disproportionately affect [other] communities.” Our role as supportive allies is not to verbalize our own story because we must “take care to not intrude upon [others’] spaces or overshadow their roles in this movement.” These claims echo sentiments that are all too common on this campus.

I am labeled as part of this “model minority,” and as a result I’ve never felt perfect enough to fit my race. When I tell my peers that I am a History of Art major, they usually react with a raised eyebrow, a look of confusion or an “Oh, really?” that emanates judgment. Because I would rather spend an hour analyzing a Rothko or Brancusi than solving derivatives or chemical reactions, I’ve been told “I can’t possibly be Asian,” and that “even my major proves I’m whitewashed.” Am I “privileged” to have my race predetermine my interests? The modelminority stereotype comes at the expense of people who don’t fit the mold.

Yet although I don’t fit the mold, many see me as just another Asian girl. Not even a week into my freshman year, an upperclassman approached me thinking I was his Korean friend at the Pierson freshman barbeque. Since then I’ve lost count of how many times my peers have confused me for another Asian woman.

The past few days, I’ve been told that I can’t possibly understand because I am not a certain race. It’s true that I will never experience the same oppression as women of other minority groups, but I do know what it

feels like to be an Asian-American woman on this campus where my body is hypersexualized for no reason other than my race. My freshman year, a Caucasian male told me he had “a thing” for Asian girls as he aggressively tried to pin me against the wall of a fraternity.

Last year, an African-American male told me I was pretty for an Asian woman and that he would know because he’s been with a lot of them. Women on this campus have told me that I’m perfect for their male friends who have Asian fetishes. They say that I’m lucky guys have “yellow fever” because they’ll be interested in me.

My “passive” response to injustices is not the product of collusion. I have never and will never condone racism. My silence is a defense mechanism.

I have learned to never let people who hurt me see my weakness, to always keep my head down and to only depend on myself.

When people marginalize me, I’m told to prove them wrong and gain their respect through hard work and success, not discussions or emotional reactions.

My experiences with racism, although different than those of other minorities, leave similar scars. For real change to happen no racism can be tolerated, and that means listening to every person’s story.

I do not stand in solidarity with fellow women of color because I’m part of a “model minority,” or because I’m “privileged” or because I’m “complicit” in oppression. AsianAmerican women should stand in solidarity because we know what it means to be marginalized and limited by our race and gender. This movement for a safer, more accepting campus is every woman of color’s fight, and every woman of color should be involved in the conversation.

I stand in solidarity because I don’t want my daughters and granddaughters to know what it feels like to have their interests and their worth defined by their race. They are not just an object for fetishes and quotas, and neither am I. I stand in solidarity because I refuse to stand on the sidelines any longer.

But how will they govern?

F

or the second time this semester, I tuned into a national televised Democratic primary debate with throngs of Yale for Bernie and Yale for Hillary students. As each side cheered on their candidate of choice, I sat waiting with bated breath to hear the moderators acknowledge a simple but unspoken truth: No matter who wins the Presidential race in 2016, Republicans will control the House of Representatives for the entirety of the next president’s first term.

Every halfway competent political scientist knows this is true.

By packing minority voters into urban districts and drawing other districts that make my preschool artwork look like a masterpiece, state legislatures rigged our congressional districts after the 2010 census to render all but a handful of them solidly red or blue. As they’re currently drawn, these districts will never produce a Democratic majority.

Republicans, of course, know they have a lock on the House. But they can’t state such an obvious fact publicly without admitting that the game is rigged. And Democrats can’t talk about it without admitting that taking back the House is futile.

Absent some cataclysmic rumbles from the Supreme Court, Republicans will have a solid hold on the House of Representatives at least until after the 2020 census — in other words, for the entire first term of the next president

of the United States.

And yet, during both debates, each D e m o c ra t i c candidate laid out idealistic policy proposTYLER as if they BLACKMON als would actually be able to Back to implement them once Blackmon elected. That might work in a functioning democracy, but it won’t happen in this era of American politics.

Interestingly, Jim Webb might have had an opening in the first debate. As a near-Republican, he could have acknowledged the obvious stranglehold on the House and brandished his centrism as a way to push moderate economic reforms through Congress.

To some extent, it makes sense that Bernie Sanders would never mention this. Virtually all of his proposals, from free college tuition to Medicare-for-all, will go nowhere in Congress. But even Hillary Clinton LAW '73, who boasts a history of bipartisan accomplishments from her time as secretary of state, refuses to point out this basic fact about the political constraints of her first term.

Ignoring the antidemocratic reality of our current political system only allows dysfunction

to persist.

Unfortunately, it does not matter whether or not Bernie Sanders personally supports single-payer health care. It matters whether he has a plan to implement it.

In fact, I’ll go so far as to say I do not care about any Democrat’s personal opinions on the issues any more than I care about John Kasich’s assurances that he would not be grossed out by attending a gay wedding. We as voters only care about positions because they resemble actual policy outcomes.

WE ARE ALL MISSING OUT ON WHAT COULD BE A FAR MORE INFORMED AND PRAGMATIC DEBATE Admittedly, there are reasons why one might propose a policy that could never be implemented. For example, Sanders’ support of a $15 federal minimum wage (compared to $12 for Clinton) could give progressive cities and states more political capital to pursue larger minimum wage increases in the absence of federal action. Starting at a higher wage might also put Democrats in a better bargaining position with

congressional Republicans in the first few years of the next administration.

But it’s important for voters to realize that in this particular election — with this particular Congress — voting for a candidate who supports a $15 federal minimum wage will not make it happen.

This is not 2008, when Clinton and Obama were vying to become president at a time when Democrats controlled both chambers of Congress. We are in markedly different territory now, and it has been frustrating to watch as the candidates pitch themselves much the same as they would have eight years ago.

The remaining Democratic candidates are not just running for president. They are running to be the leader of a divided government. And as long as they refuse to acknowledge the proverbial herd of elephants in the room, we are all missing out on what could be a far more informed and pragmatic debate.

The next Democratic debate is coming up in December. This time, let’s hold all the candidates accountable. If the moderator won’t say it out loud, counter each policy proposal yourself with a simple question: But how will you pass that through a Republican Congress?

CORRECTIONS FRIDAY, NOV. 15

A previous version of the article “No students on F&ES dean search committee” incorrectly stated that at a forum on Nov. 10, Dean Crane announced that students would be excluded from the dean search committee. In fact, Crane only stated his assumption that students would be excluded from the committee. Additionally, due to an editing error, Paul Burow FES ’16 was misquoted as saying that he was disappointed by President Salovey’s decision to exclude students from the F&ES dean search. In fact, Burow referred specifically to the exclusion of students from the dean search committee.

Wesleyan drug distributor pleads guilty

BY SARA SEYMOUR STAFF REPORTER A former Wesleyan University student pled guilty in a New Haven federal court Thursday to charges of distributing synthetic drugs.

The student, Zachary Kramer, pled guilty to charges of distribution and conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute MDMA, commonly known as Molly. Kramer’s charges stem from a monthslong investigation into the distribution of controlled substances that caused multiple Wesleyan students to overdose in February of this year, according to a press release from U.S. Attorney’s Office spokesman Tom Carson. Kramer began purchasing and reselling Molly to students at Wesleyan in September 2014. He was arrested on federal charges May 22 and released on bond the same day, the press release stated.

The maximum term of imprisonment that Kramer faces is 20 years as well as a maximum fine of $1 million, but his sentence is subject to change pending sentencing next February.

“The defendant acknowledges that he is entering into this agreement and is pleading guilty freely and voluntarily because he is guilty,” Kramer’s plea reads.

Deirdre Daly, U.S. attorney for the district of Connecticut, and Robert Spector, assistant U.S. attorney for the district of Connecticut, submitted Kramer’s indictment on May 21. According to the indictment, 11 individuals — 10 of whom were Wesleyan students — overdosed on Feb. 21 on what they believed was Molly, but was actually AB Fubinaca, a Schedule I controlled substance.

According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, Schedule I controlled substances are considered the most dangerous class of drugs because of their high potential for abuse and the potential for severe dependence.

According to the indictment, two of the students who overdosed were judged to be in critical condition, and one of the stu-

dents had to be revived after his heart stopped. All of the students obtained the drug through distributors whom Kramer directly supplied, the indictment said.

Kramer supplied controlled substances to a number of other distributors. Though he and many of the distributors destroyed the drugs they had in their possession, the Middletown Police Department managed to seize a sample of the substance from one of the distributors in February. The toxicology report indicates that the substance did not contain MDMA. But Kramer will be held accountable for the amount of substance he supposed to be MDMA that he intended to distribute, the indictment said.

Arrest warrants were issued for three other students alongside Kramer. Only two of these students, including Kramer, face federal charges.

Before Kramer became the primary supplier of Molly at Wesleyan, he distributed illegal substances to students after buying them from Eric Lonergan, another former Wesleyan student who was indicted for similar crimes. Lonergan began buying and selling the drugs in November 2013, according to his indictment.

Before the February 2015 incident, Lonergan sold a substance to a group of students in September of last year, several of whom subsequently had adverse reactions within 15 minutes of ingestion. Afterwards he sent some buyers a video of him testing the substance to prove that it was MDMA. But a toxicology report on a sample of that batch of drugs sent in by one of the buyers indicated that the substance did not contain MDMA. The test showed that the substance was a combination of AB Fubinaca and 6-MAPB, an uncontrolled substance analogous to MDMA. Lonergan’s plea hearing is scheduled for Nov. 23 before Judge Joan Margolis.

BY JIAHUI HU STAFF REPORTER When Emporium DNA first came to Broadway, students criticized the store’s prices, which many considered unaffordable. But a year in, Emporium DNA has adjusted its price points and retail mix to better situate itself in the Yale and New Haven community.

The average price of items at the boutique, which offers designer brands such as Rebecca Minkoff and Sam Edelman, has dropped from several hundred dollars to around $100, manager Shea Branch said. The store has also moved from stocking bright, bold designs to items more suitable for everyday wear, she added.

Branch said this shift has made the store more affordable and attuned to the needs of its surrounding area.

“Being here, I have been able to meet many different people and many people have said they

thought they could not come in because they thought it would be too expensive,” Branch said.

“But they have all been able to find something they love and can buy.”

Students interviewed agreed the store still appears to be expensive, citing what they had heard from friends and the store’s reputation when it first came to Broadway. Serena Lian ’17 said she has never entered the store because she believes the offerings far exceed her budget.

Most sandals, heels and boots on display near the store’s front door cost between $70 and $170.

Branch said the small size of the store makes it easy for staff and managers to hear customer feedback. Branch added that the store’s boutique model — which carries a variety of brands and articles of clothing — allows her supervisors at the chain’s headquarters to tweak the product mix of individual stores as they see fit.

Emporium DNA added value to the shopping options on Broadway because of this boutique model, Branch said.

The model enables shoppers to browse through designer labels from across the world in a store near their homes. The boutique model also makes it feasible for staff members to keep track of the preferences of individual customers, helping them craft complete outfits, from the shoes on their feet to the hats on their heads, Branch said.

“As of right now, business is good,” Branch said. “Of course we can continue to grow the brand, the company, the staff and selling techniques by making them better.”

The success of Emporium DNA on Broadway adds to the larger trend of the area’s economic growth over the past decade. From 2002 to 2013, the number of food and retail jobs within a mile of Broadway has increased by 17 percent, said Mark Abraham ’04, executive director of DataHaven, a

nonprofit collecting statistics about the city, in an email to the News.

DataHaven’s statistics show that downtown New Haven has become the most desirable destination for new retailers hoping to open in the Elm City, Abraham said, explaining that the growth in food and retail jobs in the city has been largely confined to the area.

“While this is a fairly modest change and the majority of food and retail jobs in our metropolitan area are still located outside of New Haven,” Abraham said, “the shifting growth pattern of retail jobs, combined with an increasing population of residents and workers, suggests that New Haven’s downtown area has been becoming a relatively more attractive place for retailers and restaurants.”

Emporium DNA has two other locations in Washington D.C. and Las Vegas.

Dwight Hall cancels service competition

BY SARA SEYMOUR STAFF REPORTER Concerns about the authenticity of competitive community service led to the indefinite suspension of a community service pilot program between residential colleges.

With the re-establishment of the Dwight Hall Outreach Fellows program in spring 2015, Dwight Hall affiliates have been working toward increasing student service in the city. To strengthen the service organization’s presence on campus, Dwight Hall appointed an outreach fellow to each residential college and launched a community service competition between the 12 colleges in October. During the competition, students completed community service hours for their college, and the college deemed to have the greatest commitment to community service as assessed by Dwight Hall would win. But Dwight Hall terminated the competition after a meeting with the Council of Masters following the competition’s launch, raised questions about the legitimacy of service when it is done competitively, said Kira Nakahara ’16, the Dwight Hall public relations coordinator.

“Engaging in service opportunities often has a really powerful effect for the individual — you can learn something about yourself, bond with teammates and most importantly, build relationships with others — all this should be based on listening and reciprocity,” Nakahara said. “We want to make sure that people enter service with those intentions, not because they have to or because they need to win a competition for their college.”

The competition was part of a larger attempt to expand community service on cam-

Dwight Hall has suspended its proposed community service competition between the residential colleges. pus. Originally, Nakahara said, Dwight Hall wanted to establish an outreach fellow in each college, but the goal of the program shifted to making service as common as possible.

Though the competition has been canceled, any service projects that were planned will continue noncompetitively.

Outreach fellows from each college work with residential college councils and other students to create unique service projects for students in that college to complete. The fellow then records information for service projects completed by the residential college, including the number of students involved, the number of hours each student participated and, if applicable, the amount of money raised, she said.

“The service competition was driven by the desire to increase the amount of service that Yalies do around campus as well as to help track service

hours with all of the opportunities being offered,” Morse Outreach Fellow Jonathan Ng ’18 said.

Though the competition was discontinued, Nakahara said the outreach fellows will continue encouraging all students to serve their communities and will work with any students interested in becoming more involved in service projects. She added that outreach fellows will work with students in their colleges to develop projects like one-day fundraisers or regular tutoring programs.

Although some outreach fellows started contacting students about the competition in October, only four students out of 34 interviewed said they had heard about the competition.

Will Gersham ’18 said that increasing student participation in community service was a positive step. Several other students interviewed voiced

similar support for increasing engagement even though they had not heard about the program.

Vincent Huang ’18 said he did not need a competition to incentivize him to complete community service. But he commended Dwight Hall’s effort to promote community service.

At the same time that Dwight Hall instituted the Community Service Outreach Fellows Program last March, a program was also created to link fraternities and sororities with local nonprofits. However, in the wake of allegations of racism against Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Dwight Hall suspended relations with fraternities last week through the end of the semester.

Dwight Hall was founded in 1886.

FROM THE FRONT

“Nobody is bothered about an institution more than its alumni.�

N. R. NARAYANA MURTHY INDIAN INDUSTRIALIST

Alumni respond to campus conversations ALUMNI FROM PAGE 1 their opinions on more public forums. On Nov. 12, a group of alumni published an open letter in The Huffington Post expressing support for the student protests at Yale. As of the morning of Nov. 15, the letter had received over 2,100 signatures from alumni who were in favor of the movement.

Rebecca Steinitz ’86, the letter’s lead author, said that mainstream media portrayals of the student movement as childish are unfair, noting that for the most part, students are protesting a very problematic situation quite civilly. “The current student protests may have been provoked by a controversy over Halloween costumes, but they have much deeper roots in Yale’s history and culture,� the letter states. “They have made it clear to us that institutional racism continues to be a powerful force at Yale, as it was when we were students.�

Steinitz, a former resident of Silliman, said she does not think Nicholas and Erika Christakis should be removed from their respective positions as master and associate master, but that they should step down since they will not be able to unify the college community effectively.

Other Yale alumni have used media outlets to weigh in on the events of the past two weeks.

Nora Caplan-Bricker ’12, a former editor for the News who wrote an article for Slate Magazine in support of the student movement, said those who view it as an attempt to curtail free speech are mistaken. In her Nov. 10 article, titled “The Yale Student Protests Are the Campus PC Wars at Their Best,� she argued that the campus protests are not about censorship, but rather

about the right of students of color not to face discrimination in their own homes. “What student protestors seem to be doing is both raising questions about identity and how they fit in on campus ‌ but they’re also challenging our kind of one-sided freedom-of-speech debate,â€? Caplan-Bricker said in an interview. “To try to dismiss them by playing to a free-speech argument, to me, is logically inconsistent.â€?

However, other alumni argue that students’ demands do in fact threaten freedom of expression on campus. Last week, a website was set up for Yale alumni to donate copies of the book “The Closing of the American Mind,� which warns against limiting freedom of thought on university campuses, to current students.

The page’s description states that the fund was established for alumni concerned about the erosion of tolerance for free thought on Yale’s campus. As of Nov. 15, the fund had raised over $1,000 from 15 donors but had not reached its goal of $1,381, enough to pay for 100 copies.

Max Eden ’11 said he donated $14 to the fund because Yale students should be encouraged to explore ideas that run contrary to their beliefs. He added that he believes Yale has become a “national laughingstock� as a result of the protests and subsequent media coverage.

Rek LeCounte ’11 also voiced harsh criticisms of the student demonstrations. LeCounte said that as a black and gay student at Yale, he primarily experienced discrimination from others in the black and LGBTQ communities. “The protesters need to get a grip, their applauders need to get a clue and the University needs to stand up for free expression and a strong academic culture of vigor-

Over the past two weeks, alumni have voiced various opinions about recent campus race-related events. ous dissent,� LeCounte said.

He added that academic free speech is not necessarily in tension with inclusiveness.

Sam Chauncey ’57 — who served as University secretary in the 1960s and ’70s — said he has been in contact with about 30 alumni about recent events, and that their opinions are widely varied and tend to differ by generation. “If you’re talking to someone my age, they think this is just ter-

rible — the students should be so lucky to be there and go work,� he said. “But if you’re talking to people who graduated in the ’60s and ’70s, they are part cheering and part worrying. They’re cheering because this is what they would have thought and wanted, and they’re worrying because they might have children at Yale who they don’t want to get in trouble.�

Chauncey added that while it is important for Yale to honor and

listen to its graduates, he cannot recall a single major decision in the University’s history in which the alumni actually influenced the outcome.

Senior Advisor to the President Martha Highsmith said administrators seriously consider the perspectives alumni provide, but added that administrators are ultimately responsible for implementing policy changes. “We’re always interested in the views of the wider Yale commu-

nity, as alumni are our ambassadors in the world,� she said. “They’re the ones who speak to their neighbors and friends about what Yale is like, so you always want to consider carefully the views of Yale alumni. But in terms of setting University policy, that takes place on campus.�

Roughly 12 ULA members and supporters protested outside Thai Taste Friday night.

PROTEST FROM PAGE 1 New Haven residents to boycott the restaurant. A police officer arrived on the scene around 7:30 p.m. Friday and advised ULA protesters against blocking the sidewalk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wage theft is a crime that affects not just the workers but also our city,â&#x20AC;? the pamphlet read.

Saran Chuntaratit, who manages Thai Taste with her husband Jaruch, said ULAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complaints about unresponsiveness are unwarranted because she and her husband have indeed responded. The coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney sent ULA a letter in response in September, Chuntaratit said.

She added that ULAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimate of the amount of wages Jaruch owes his workers is incorrect, if any money is owed at all. She and her husband will take the case to court if necessary, Chuntaratit said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We sent them the letter, but they did not respond to the letter,â&#x20AC;? Chuntaratit said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to go legally so that we can show evidence.â&#x20AC;?

Chuntaratit added that ULA is pressuring the couple to immediately pay the sum they allegedly owe rather than enter legal negotiations with the attorney.

Though ULA will leave the case in the hands of the Department of Labor, ULA will con-

tinue to hold protests outside Thai Taste, Lugo said. The organization will schedule its next protest at their weekly meeting Monday evening, he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not fair that these workers have been waiting since May 1 to get an answer from us â&#x20AC;&#x201D; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been waiting too long,â&#x20AC;?

Lugo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to the labor department to decide what to do with this case.â&#x20AC;?

“I dream of an Africa which is in peace with itself.”

NELSON MANDELA SOUTH AFRICAN ANTI-APARTHEID REVOLUTIONARY

Africa Week showcases contemporary continent

BY RACHEL TREISMAN CONTRIBUTING REPORTER From last Thursday to Saturday, the Yale African Students Association hosted Africa Week, a series of events meant to foster discussions and celebrations of the continent.

This year’s theme, “Think.

Contemporary Africa” centered around the growing global influence of African countries. Events included a dance workshop with the Yale African dance group Dzana, a documentary screening and panel discussion about HIV stigma in Swaziland and a debate hosted by the Party of the Left on whether African states should nationalize their resources to further development. Speakers included Zimbabwean fashion designer Farai Simoyi, former Tunisian tourism minister Jamel Gamra and Kenyan photojournalist and activist Boniface Mwangi.

“This year, we made more of an effort to collaborate with other student groups on campus so that Africa Week is both a way for Africans to talk about issues related to the continent and also a way to make the continent more visible to the larger Yale community,” said Houriiyah Tegally ’16, YASA publicity chair and member of the organizing committee for Africa Week.

According to YASA President Khalid Attalla ’16, Africa Week’s annual theme is shaped by the speaker list. This year, YASA members wanted to showcase the influence and character of contemporary Africa, and were able to do so partly through the guest speakers, with whom they had been in contact since the beginning of the summer.

“The speakers are self-made people with a lot of influence who showcase the excellence of the continent,” Attalla said.

“There’s a narrative of Africa as

The Yale African Students Association hosted Africa Week from last Thursday to Saturday to promote discussions and celebrations about the continent. a continent that needs help, and the speakers we chose show that we don’t need saving. We have the capacity to pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps.” Attalla added that Africa Week is more than just a series of events; it is also a message to the entire Yale community about intercommunity engagement.

On Friday afternoon, Gamra gave a presentation about the history of Tunisia and its relationship to the continent as a whole. He explained some of

the challenges African tourism faces, such as high poverty rates and low employment, as well as the areas in which it has potential, including natural resources.

Gamra added that tourism in Africa is increasing overall and that African countries have some of the greatest growth potential in the world. He also credited the Tunisian Revolution in 2011 with allowing the country to gain the democracy and freedom to innovate and promote tourism.

nally from Cairo, Egypt, said she was interested in Gamra’s talk because tourism rates following the Arab Spring have also been an issue in her country.

“Even if you’re not from the region or don’t have a personal stake in it, it’s important to educate yourself,” Nasr said. “One of the most valuable things at Yale is that you can learn about things that are completely foreign to you.”

As the week’s final speaker, Mwangi discussed the chal-

lenges he has faced as a photographer and activist, emphasizing the importance of not conforming to the majority. He advised students to find a cause they believe in and devote themselves to it, adding that it is essential for everyone to tell their story.

Mwangi also played several videos of news clips, interviews and footage from protests he has been involved with, many of which concern government corruption and violence.

“Don’t conform at this age,”

Mwangi said during his talk.

“This is the age of believing you can change the world.”

Nodumo Ncomanzi ’16, who is from Zimbabwe, said she admired how this year’s Africa Week, as well as those of years past, portrayed Africa in an authentic way, rather than just presenting the public perceptions of the continent.

YASA was founded in 1966.

FROM THE FRONT

“A budget tells us what we can’t afford, but it doesn’t keep us from buying it.”

WILLIAM FEATHER AMERICAN PUBLISHER

Republican budget plan leaked early BUDGET FROM PAGE 1 at least $400 million for the following fiscal year.

Klarides said the deficit’s scale results from “bad fiscal decisions” in years past and still nags at the state’s finances despite the two largest tax increases in Connecticut history. As a result, she said, businesses have found staying in the state increasingly difficult, and the state can no longer produce the high-paying jobs it needs to thrive in today’s economy.

“Small businesses and large businesses alike — whether it’s the GEs of the world or Joe’s coffee shop down the street — are all suffering and trying to get out of Connecticut,” she said. “Although they love it here, they cannot afford to be here any longer.”

Klarides added that Republicans intend not to offer merely short-term solutions to the present budget gap, but to ultimately enact structural changes that will allow Connecticut’s economy to prosper for “generations to come.”

The bulk of the Republicans’ proposed cuts comes in the form of a retirement incentive program.

Republicans say the program could save $80 million in FY16 and just under $100 million the following year. The proposals would save another $100 million in FY16 by diverting excess funding from the Municipal Revenue Sharing Account — an account that allows for revenue-sharing between the state and municipalities.

House Speaker Brendan Sharkey, D-Hamden, said in a press conference later on Friday that the Democrats — due to present their slate of budget cuts on Monday — will take into account the Republicans’ proposals when forming their own.

“There were a lot of very productive, useful ideas from all three groups — Democrats, Republi-

cans and the administration — and I think we’re trying to take all that into consideration,” he said.

“The Republicans took a lot of our thoughts into consideration with their package; we’d like to do the same with ours.”

Sharkey added that the Democrats will also seek to ensure that their cuts “protect those folks who need help the most.” He echoed Klarides, who said the Republican budget will not cut funding for Medicaid or the mentally disabled.

We are not cutting hospitals in any way, shape or form, for Medicaid.

STATE REP. THEMIS KLARIDES Connecticut House Minority Leader Malloy released the administration’s proposed budget cuts on Thursday. The proposal includes controversial cuts to mental health centers, hospitals and Medicaid funding. Malloy has also proposed slashing over $20 million from the University of Connecticut, which currently receives $243 million through a block grant, and $10 million from municipal aid.

Klarides criticized the proposal to cut funds from many of the programs that will lose funding in the administration’s budget.

“We are not cutting hospitals in any way, shape or form, or Medicaid,” she said. “That is not the way to run a budget, by cutting from people who need it the most.”

Fasano has represented parts of East Haven, Wallingford, North Haven and Durham in the state Senate since 2003.

The Republicans in the Connecticut Legislature released their budget proposals at a press conference Friday.

Greek community reaffirms diversity DIVERSITY FROM PAGE 1 ongoing campus conversation surrounding racial tensions and the marginalization of minority students, especially women.

Over 100 members of the four sororities attended, and the organization issued a collective statement of solidarity after the gathering as well.

In line with these goals, Yale Theta president Jessica Leao ’16 said her sorority will form a finance committee to solicit donations so that financial concerns will not deter potential members from recruitment. She added that Theta will also start a book club to read some of the autobiographies, novels and essays suggested during a campuswide teach-in on racial issues at Yale that was held in Battell Chapel on Wednesday.

“We are having conversations that many often took for granted but are important to express outwardly,” Leao said. “I am a woman of color and have been proud to represent Theta as a woman of color, and it has been incredible to see so many of our sisters rising up to the events and really having these conversations and thinking how to make our campus better in every way.”

Sig Ep’s statement was not published on Facebook but was instead sent directly to a number of student groups, including the Black Student Alliance at Yale, Yale Black Women’s Coalition and Unite Against Sexual Assault Yale. With the collaboration of other groups on cam-

pus, the fraternity will implement cultural awareness training addressing the issues of race, gender and sexuality. While trainings on sexual respect, consent and bystander intervention with Yale’s Communication and Consent Educators have been mandatory for all new members since last year, the fraternity will also now require all of its brothers to participate in additional bystander intervention trainings conducted by USAY and other campus groups representing women of color. The fraternity will also work to make sure that brothers have access to support from mentors within the cultural houses and Office of LGBTQ Resources.

Similarly, Sig Nu has voiced its support for people of color, adding that it realizes “action is necessary.” According to the fraternity’s statement, published last Wednesday, it will work to expand recruitment efforts to bring in members from all backgrounds, regardless of race, sexuality or socioeconomic status.

The organization will also implement an anonymous reporting system for students to report complaints they have regarding any incidents that occur within the house.

“We are enormously grateful to the women of color who broke the silence and catalyzed this dialogue for positive change on campus, especially given the emotional costs of sharing their stories,” Sig Ep’s statement said. “After several conversations within our chapter,

GREAT ORGAN MUSIC AT YALE

we have decided to take a series of actions to create a safer, more open and more equitable environment within our fraternity and within the Yale community at large.”

Other sororities’ statements were broader, simply expressing their support and admiration for women of color. Yale’s chapter of Omega Phi Beta — a sorority that is not part of the Panhellenic Council and that aims to unify women of color — released a statement Thursday affirming its solidarity with other campuses gripped by racial tensions, such as the University of Missouri and Ithaca College.

We are enormously grateful to the women of color who broke the silence.

STATEMENT BY SIGMA PHI EPSILON “As the largest organization of women on campus, the Panhellenic community has the potential to alter campus dynamics and incite meaningful change,” Yale Pi Phi President Caroline Pringle ’16 said. “I believe that it is our responsibility to do so.”

Founded in 1985, the Yale chapter of Theta was the school’s first sorority.

Bryan Garcia was named president and CEO of the Connecticut Green Bank in 2011. He oversees the nation’s first state-level green bank. In that role, he is responsible for using limited public funds to attract and deploy private investment in clean energy in Connecticut. The “green bank model” is demonstrating that more clean energy can be deployed at a faster rate while using public funds more responsibly.

Prior to joining the Green Bank, Garcia was program director for the Yale Center for Business and the Environment. At Yale, Garcia led efforts to develop a leading global program responsible for preparing environmental leaders for business and society. He was co-editor of Carbon Finance: Environmental Market Solutions to Climate Change and Carbon Finance II: Investing in Forests for Climate Protection, publications that present the opinions and experiences of leading practitioners in finance, global carbon markets, and the business of climate change.

Students attend speak-outs

Campus weigh in on protests

BY CAUVERI SURESH On a day of nationwide solidarity with black students across college campuses, the message from black students at Columbia rang out: “We here, we been here, we ain’t leaving, we are loved.”

Black student activists from several groups led a speak-out at the Sundial on Thursday evening that focused on black students’ narratives in response to terrorist threats toward students at the University of Missouri and Howard University, racism at Yale and Ithaca College, and a general underlying feeling of insecurity among black students across college campuses.

At the University of Missouri, student protests led to the resignation of both the university’s president and chancellor.

Meanwhile, at Yale, controversy erupted over a fraternity allegedly denying entry to an event to female students of color, as well as an email to students from an administrator regarding cultural appropriation in Halloween costumes.

While students at Columbia spoke about a host of issues — including both personal experiences with racism on this and other campuses and racism’s manifestation in the lives of people of color, black people in particular — the point most reiterated on Thursday was that the feelings of Columbia’s black students and black students everywhere are valid.

“I’m talking about this with people of color, and they get it — we all get it,” Hannah Eyob said. “And then I get out of those circles, and it’s not in conversation anymore.”

“This is happening. It just feels like I have this stack of evidence, but every time, they’re like, ‘I don’t understand this language’ or something,” she said. “That feels pretty exhausting.”

Students stated repeatedly that, above all, this was a time for black students and allies to amplify black student voices.

Students also addressed the discrepancy between the desire at universities to have diverse student bodies in order to meet diversity quotas and the lack of resources, outlets and support for students of color once they arrive on these campuses.

“M icro- and macroaggressions are a salient part of institutions that weren’t built for us,” Leah Hairston said.

“If schools have opened

t h e i r doors to us, they need to embrace everyt h i n g COLUMBIA t h a t comes with that. That includes having the conversations about ‘The way that you’re treating me is dehumanizing and you need to address it,’” she said.

Many students also criticized what they described as Columbia’s lack of administrative support following traumatic events.

“It’s really getting to a point where — for students of color and allies, it really can be traumatic to hear of students fearing for their lives and see videos of brutality — all of these things are traumatic,” Evy Exime said on Wednesday.

“It’s really taxing people’s mental health. I would really love to see Columbia say, ‘If you need help, here’s some resources.’”

In addressing these issues last year, the administration came under fire for its delayed response in the wake of the non-indictment decisions in the cases of the officers involved in the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown.

This year, the response came sooner, with an email from Barnard administrators Thursday morning.

The email from Barnard President Debora Spar, Dean of the College Avis Hinkson, and Provost Linda Bell was followed up later in the day with a conversation among students, administrators and faculty. Spar began that event by expressing the administration’s desire to better the school’s ability to provide support for students of color now and moving forward.

Spar also said during the discussion that Hinkson and Bell were considering cancelling classes for a day or half a day and having students and faculty attend mandated diversity sensitivity training instead.

“I’m sure we don’t do everything right all the time, so the more we can hear from your perspective about what’s working, what’s not working, what we could be doing better, how we can make this a more inclusive, diverse, comfortable, productive campus for all members of our community,” Spar said, “the more we can try and do.”

Student leaders and attendees expressed appreciation for the administration’s speedy response and for holding a discussion. Still, they

emphasized the need for comprehensive, mandatory diversity training.

Columbia University President Lee Bollinger sent an email to Columbia students nearly two hours after the end of the rally.

“At Columbia, we have a long and deep commitment to overcoming racism, on our own campus as well as in the broader society; a steadfast belief in the value of free expression, even when offensive or dangerous; and an equal determination to bring reason, respect and empathy to our interactions with one another. We do not need events elsewhere to remind us of these basic values, which when embraced strengthen our capacity to work toward a more tolerant society. But in moments like these it is vital that we reflect upon and reaffirm them through our actions,” the email said.

The Office of Multicultural Affairs also posted a statement offering students a safe space to talk on its Facebook page.

A Columbia College spokesperson referred Spectator’s request for comment — which was sent at approximately 7 p.m. — to the Facebook status, which was posted at about 8 p.m.

But students at the Sundial speak-out said that increased understanding of the issues facing black students might not be the reason behind Barnard’s improved response time, nor the larger crowd that gathered this year in comparison with a similar protest last year.

Students said that it could be easier to support fellow students rather than support a black person who was killed while engaging in a criminal behavior, as in the case of Eric Garner, who was selling loose cigarettes on a street corner when put into a chokehold by NYPD. At noon, students from Teachers College led a demonstration and speak-out on Low Steps that was also attended by undergraduate students.

Throughout the day’s events, students continued to articulate that black feelings matter and that black voices belong at the frontlines of this conversation.

“I feel angry and exhausted that it’s happening again,” Eyob said. “And I feel worried for other black students across campus who have to juggle being a black person, being a black student, being a student and being invisible all the time. I feel pain for them.”

In the wake of student demonstrations against racism at Yale and the University of Missouri at Columbia, dozens of Harvard undergraduates weighed in both on social media and in person on Wednesday, with many declaring their support for the movements on those campuses.

The student protests in New Haven and Columbia, Missouri follow a series of controversies there that have sparked debate about the experiences of students of color and how administrators have responded to allegations of racism. At Yale, a student’s claim that a member of a fraternity said a party was for “white girls only” over Halloween prompted backlash, as did an email from Erika Christakis, the former Harvard Pforzheimer House co-master who now oversees a residential college at Yale alongside her husband Nicholas. In an email to her college’s residents, Christakis challenged an earlier message from Yale administrators telling students not to wear culturally insensitive costumes for Halloween.

Shortly before they departed Harvard several years ago, in a Time op-ed about free speech, the Christakises had criticized College administrators for their response to a controversy involving a flyer that seemed to satirize final clubs and offended some students.

At Mizzou, students have similarly protested incidents involving racism and criticized top university officials for their

response.

After players on Mizzou’s football team said they would boycott team HARVARD activities and a graduate student said he would go on a hunger strike until the Missouri system’s president resigned, president Timothy Wolfe stepped down from his post on Monday. The campus’s chancellor also said he would leave his position.

The series of events have put issues of race on college campuses in the national spotlight.

They have also prompted debate about issues involving the freedom of speech, as some people have defended Christakis’ email at Yale and pushed for journalists’ access to the protest site at Mizzou.

Facebook posts addressing the protests flooded Harvard students’ news feeds on Wednesday. Several black students shared a message, signed by “Black Students at Harvard College” and addressed to “Our Family” at Mizzou and Yale. It read: “Your peers at Harvard College want you to know you are not alone in the constant struggle to make your voices heard … What has happened these past few weeks is only a snapshot into years of oppression that pervades this nation.”

Another popular post said: “We students of color at Harvard stand with you in solidarity. To those who would threaten their sense of safety, the world is watching. #ConcernedStu-

dent1950 #InSolidarityWithMizzou.” Other students and some Harvard alumni posted variations of the same statement.

According to Cyrus Motanya, who posted on Facebook about the demonstrations, Harvard students took to social media to show their support for students at Yale and Mizzou.

“In light of Harvard-Yale coming up, we definitely need to show this solidarity,” Motanya said.

“I think there’s a really big need for all [people of color] to come together on this issue and show solidarity,” said Jenny Choi, who also writes a column for The Crimson’s editorial board. “I’m happy to see the amount of support from not just black students, but a whole array of diversity coming out and supporting students that are affected at this University.”

Black student groups also organized a town-hall discussion in light of the demonstrations on Wednesday night in Quincy House’s Stone Hall basement. The meeting was closed to the press, but afterward students said they discussed their own experiences and plans to show support for the movements in the future.

“I’m very hopeful that the results of this meeting will come with something that’s very fruitful, not just for the Harvard community, but the Boston black community and communities of color at other colleges,” William Greenlaw said.

Some students plan to wear black on Thursday to show their support for the movement.

Yale gears up with win at Princeton FOOTBALL

Penn snaps Harvard’s win streak

BY MAYA SWEEDLER STAFF REPORTER On Saturday, the Penn football team did something no other team has managed to do in 106 weeks: defeat Harvard. The Quakers stunned No. 12 Crimson at home, winning 35–25 and creating a three-way tie at the top of the Ivy League. With Penn, Harvard and Dartmouth all 5–1 in conference play, a win by each program in the final game of the season will ensure at least a share of the crown.

down of the season before tossing a perfect dime to wide receiver Robert Clemons ’17, and kicker Bryan Holmes ’17 was on the field for three additional Yale scores: two field goals and one in which, on fourthand-eight, holder and quarterback Logan Scott ’16 lobbed a 22-yard touchdown to tight end Leo Haenni ’17.

The go-ahead score was Roberts’ touchdown pass to Clemons, which put the Elis up 35–28 with just 4:31 remaining in the game. The winning drive came after a key inter-

The historic win, which broke Harvard’s 22-game winning streak that dates back to 2013, saw a powerful effort from the Quakers, who took advantage of several uncharacteristic mistakes from the Crimson.

“In the end, they just made a few more plays than us,” Harvard head coach Tim Murphy said in the post-game press conference. “Specifically, in a big, tough game like that, you’ve got to come out on the good side of the turnover margin. We had two good drives going at the end where we coughed up the ball.”

Three turnovers, two failed two-point conversion attempts, a blocked field goal and a missed extra point all impeded Harvard’s league-leading offense, which rallied from a 21–6 first-quarter deficit but could not muster a response to two second-half touchdowns from the Quakers.

Harvard quarterback Scott Hosch, whose first career loss as a starter was Saturday, said major winds during the first half could not excuse his performance. Hosch finished 20-for-30 with 246 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Hosch was also sacked five times after taking five sacks the prior eight games combined.

Penn succeeded in containing Hosch, an excellent scrambler, to -2 yards on 12 carries. Quaker linebacker Donald Panciello said after the game that the team was able to get

Quarterback Morgan Roberts ’16 threw a perfect dime to wide receiver Robert Clemons III ’17 to put Yale ahead for good.

BY MAYA SWEEDLER STAFF REPORTER In a meeting of two teams battling for pride, rather than for a championship on the line, the Yale football team built crucial momentum before next week’s matchup against Harvard with a 35–28 victory at Princeton on Saturday.

The Bulldogs (6–3, 3–3 Ivy) dug themselves into an early 14–0 hole against the Tigers (5–4, 2–4) but, reminiscent of their early-season comeback victories, stormed back behind a balanced attack from the offense and game-changing plays

from the defense when they were needed most. The loss marked Princeton’s first on home turf this season.

“I think Princeton was doing a great job with the pace of their offense and catching us off guard,” head coach Tony Reno said. “[We had to] settle down and play our brand of football, which is to focus on the play and the process and don’t worry about what happened before, just on what we can control.

We did a great job of that.”

The team did settle down, mostly due to a dominant running game and a series of calculated risks that

paid off. Converted cornerback Dale Harris ’17 set the game’s pace as running back, utilizing his impressive speed to tally 177 yards on just 30 carries.

Harris, who took over the bulk of carries after the first series of the game, began Yale’s scoring with a 71-yard rushing touchdown just three plays after Princeton’s second-consecutive scoring drive. Despite Harris’ monster day of rushing, though, the remainder of the Eli points were initiated by either quarterback Morgan Roberts ’16 or Yale’s special teams. Roberts ran in his third rushing touch-

Ivies end with weekend sweep

BY JONATHAN MARX STAFF REPORTER Entering the Ivy League season’s final weekend, the Yale volleyball team needed a pair of wins — and some help from other teams — to keep its hopes at a sixth consecutive Ancient Eight title alive.

VOLLEYBALL While the Bulldogs (14–9, 9–5 Ivy) kept up their end of the bargain with wins over Harvard (14– 10, 10–4) and Dartmouth (12–11, 9–5), other results across the Ivy League did not go the Elis’ way.

The end result is Yale ending its league season a single game out of first place, sending the Elis home without a conference championship for the first time in half a decade.

“Beating Harvard and Dartmouth this past weekend was an amazing way to end the season,” setter Kelsey Crawford ’18 said. “It proved how good we are and how much we can still grow because everyone had a hand in winning the two matches this weekend.”

Even though Yale was unable to climb its way to the top of the standings, the Bulldogs ended

their year on a high note with the weekend sweep, in addition to playing spoiler for other Ivy title contenders. On Friday, Yale’s victory over the Crimson kept Harvard from winning an outright conference championship, and the Saturday win over Dartmouth knocked the Big Green out of the race for the Ancient Eight’s lone NCAA Tournament berth.

Last season, Yale split the Ivy League championship honors with Harvard. In a tiebreaker to decide who would advance to the NCAAs, the Elis swept a threeset match in Cambridge. This year, the Bulldogs will instead watch as Harvard and Princeton face off next weekend in a similar one-game playoff for a spot in the national tournament.

For Yale’s five seniors, this season is a deviation from their first three. The Bulldogs have no postseason to prepare for, with their slate of meaningful games entirely completed. However, for the first time, this crop of players can end their season with a win, as they have been bounced from the NCAA Tournament in each of the past three seasons.

Gaus ’19 scores game-winner

Stannard’s debut season disappoints to find the back of the net.

Princeton’s dominance continued into the second half, but Yale responded better to the Tigers’ pace of play. Not two minutes in, Schipper made two excellent back-to-back saves to prevent the Tigers from extending their lead. Riach had perhaps Yale’s best chance of the game in the 67th minute when, a meter outside the six-yard box, he had only the Tiger goalkeeper to beat, but his light shot went high. “[In the second half,] we switched systems and played in a 3–5–2 to just go for it a bit more and to generate our own offense instead of just absorbing pressure, which I think worked because we created more,” midfielder Nicky Downs ’19 said.

This season marks the first time in school history that Yale has finished with consecutive one-win seasons.

MEN’S SOCCER FROM PAGE B4

YALE DAILY NEWS

The Bulldogs led in shots during both games but managed to come away with just a single victory.

MEN’S HOCKEY FROM PAGE B4 An assist from Snively led to a low shot from Hitchcock that bounced off the leg of an RPI player before making its way into the net to tie up the score.

Yale maintained control of the game even after the first intermission, and despite 15 shots to the Engineers’ six in the frame, the Elis went scoreless while allowing RPI to take the lead once more with a long shot through traffic.

With RPI leading 2–1 at the final intermission, the number of shots fired only became more unbalanced in the third as the Bulldogs ripped 11 at freshman goaltender Cam Hackett, more than tripling the three attempts made by the Engineers. Hackett, whose team has not lost any game in which he has seen ice time, finished with a 0.953 save percentage in the contest.

The Elis seized on a powerplay opportunity to tie up the game when Gaus capitalized on a puck that deflected off Hackett’s pad, scoring his first career goal for Yale and send-

ing the team into a five-minute overtime period at the end of regulation play.

“It was just a great play by all five guys,” forward Frankie DiChiara ’17 said. “The power play had been creating a lot of chances for us all night, and we were fortunate enough to cash in … You always remember your first college goal, and that was a big one for the team.”

Despite a 24-shot deficit in the game, the teams finished dead even in that category in extra time, as it took just a single shot from RPI to hand the Bulldogs their first loss of the season. RPI forward Victor Liljegren found himself with a breakaway after a Yale possession, and faked right before shooting the puck high past Lyon’s stick.

The Elis got another chance to prove themselves in overtime the next night, facing Union in another contest with a large Yale shot advantage of 31–20 — the fifth time in six games that the Elis have led in shots.

“I felt like we were the better team all three periods [against

RPI],” head coach Keith Allain ’80 said after the Union contest. “With young people that can sometimes lead to frustration, but our guys stuck with the program and [against Union] we got what we wanted.”

It was a defense-driven game for the majority of play, as both teams were kept off the scoreboard until late in the second period. The Dutchmen capitalized on a power play to get the puck past Lyon, who had an otherwise flawless night that included making a save while lying flat on his back in the second period. The powerplay goal was the first that Yale has allowed this season.

More than doubling Union’s shot total after the second intermission, the Elis dominated the third period, quickly tying up the game off a shot from DiChiara to send the game into overtime.

“We take a lot of pride in being a good third-period team,” Gaus said. “I think our captain Mitch [Witek ’16] did a really good job getting us excited, and we came out with a

Sarju ’16 scores 30 W. BASKETBALL FROM PAGE B4 opener against Albertus Magnus.”

After their strong performance in Ohio, the Elis set the tone early on with a 16–0 lead and kept their momentum up until the 67–34 finish.

By halftime, Yale had held the Falcons to 12 points, giving the Bulldogs a 21-point advantage going into the second half of the game. In a significantly more balanced showing than the Friday contest in which Sarju tallied 40 percent of Yale points, forward Elizabeth Haley ’17 led the team with seven points at halftime, while forward Katie Werner ’17 posted a team-high seven rebounds going into the third quarter.

The second half continued the offensive dominance for Yale, as Sarju and guard Tamara Simpson ’18 led the team with a combined 21 points in the half. The Elis finished with a 33-point advan-

tage after outscoring the Falcons 34–22 in the final two quarters.

Simpson led the team with 15 points, with Sarju and guard Clara Mokri ’18 following her lead with 12 points each. Also leading the team with seven steals was Simpson, while center Emmy Allen ’16 dominated the boards with 13 rebounds.

With this first weekend of play over, players noted that they are confident moving forward into the rest of the season.

“We proved that we can compete with the top teams in the country,” Mokri said. “People are starting to realize that Ivy League basketball as an entirety is a force to be reckoned with.”

The Bulldogs head to Chapel Hill, North Carolina this upcoming weekend for the Hall of Fame Women’s Challenge, where they will face Iona, Farleigh Dickinson and North Carolina.

It took four minutes of overtime play, but eventually Gaus one-timed a game-winning goal off assists from DiChiara and forward Stu Wilson ’16 to secure the Bulldog victory.

With his second goal in as many games, Gaus adds to the offensive power of the rookies on the roster, who have scored six of the team’s 19 goals this season.

Though Yale finished with split results on the weekend, O’Gara highlighted the team’s ability to battle back from deficits — Yale tied the game in the third period in both contests — as a silver lining.

“This is huge to have for a team because it’s still early and we will continue to remove imperfections from our team game as time passes,” O’Gara said.

Princeton’s third goal came less than a minute before the end of the first half, when Sanner passed the ball into the box, leaving it for senior midfielder Andrew Doar to strike it into the net. “[The Princeton offense] was unbelievable in the midfield.

They would play one-two balls and at some times, it was almost impossible to defend and they played very fast all the time,” Kenagy said. “I don’t think we’ve seen too much of that this year and they have a lot of chemistry in their offense.”

Forward Cameron Kirdzkik ’17 returns as a senior for next year’s Yale team, looking to improve on the Elis’ performance in 2015.

Mason ’18, Sherrod ’16 duo leads Bulldogs M. BBALL FROM PAGE B4 doubled up on Sears at times, its defense was not the reason Sears posted just six points and four rebounds, paling in comparison to the 14.3 points and 7.5 rebounds he averaged a year ago.

“Justin took Justin away today,” Jones said. “He just wasn’t himself today, and I expect him to be himself tomorrow and going forward.

But certainly if we add [Sears] playing like himself to the mix of the guys we have, I think we got a chance to be really pretty good.”

In his absence, the Bulldogs relied on the strong backcourt duo of Mason and captain Jack Montague ’16.

Montague shot 50 percent from both the field and beyond the arc, notching 13 points in addition to snatching five rebounds. Mason, meanwhile, seamlessly stepped into the point guard role so successfully held by first-team All-Ivy recipient Javier Duren ’15 last season. The sophomore from Greenfield, Massachusetts combined scrappy defense with an 8–15 shooting performance en route to a careerhigh 23-point game.

“Obviously [Duren] was a huge part of the team last year and he kind of made everything run, but I felt pretty confident coming into the game, just because of the trust of my teammates and practice,” Mason said. “It hasn’t been too bad of a transition to try and fill that role.”

While Mason and Montague combined for 36 points, Yale’s returning Whiffenpoof, Sherrod, picked up the slack for Sears’ lack of offensive production. Sherrod posted a career-high of his own with 20 points on just eight shots in his first basketball game in over a year. He also led the team in rebounds with seven — Mason called him “a monster on the

boards today” following the contest.

After a pair of missed layups, Sherrod overcame his initial nerves, settling down once he made a pair of free throws 14 minutes into the first half.

When he made his first of what would end up being a 10–13 day from the charity stripe, it broke a 22–22 tie. Minutes later, Sherrod had broken the game open all on his own, behind a couple more free throws as well as a pair of dunks, and the score was 34–22.

All 12 points in the Yale run came from the Bridgeport native.

“I thought he might’ve been a little nervous,” Jones said of Sherrod’s first minutes of the game. “He hasn’t played in a year. It was his first time lacing them up and going into a college game … He had some jitters, I thought, but he really calmed himself and was a force for us down low, in scoring the basket and really rebounding the ball. They only have him down for seven [rebounds], but it seemed like he got his hands on every single one of them.”

Guard Nick Victor ’16, back from an injury that sidelined him for most of last year, was right behind Sherrod with six rebounds — three offensive and three defensive — and guard Khaliq Ghani ’16 added four defensive rebounds.

Ghani, who played 16 minutes, was one of three Bulldogs who came off the bench and played at least 10 minutes.

Guard Anthony Dallier ’17 and forward Sam Downey ’17 combined with Ghani to add 11 rebounds, four steals and three assists.

Six other Elis, including four freshmen, added minutes though none scored — Yale’s starters scored 68 of its 70 points with the lone bench points coming from two Downey free throws. Fairfield’s bench outscored Yale’s, 27–2.

“We only had two points

Yale won handily despite just six points from forward Justin Sears ’16. from our bench. That obviously can’t continue,” Jones said. “In order to be really good this year, we have to get some help from the guys coming in and adding to it … When they’re not scoring … they’re adding other things that help us be successful. I like the group of guys that we have and I think there are some other guys on our team that we can work into the mix.”

But bench points was the only area in which the Stags outperformed the Elis. With

17 points off turnovers and 16 second-chance points, Yale led for over 28 minutes of action, including the entire second half. Fairfield also gifted the Bulldogs with 26 fouls; Yale took advantage, converting 21 of 27 free throw attempts.

The team’s home opener is Monday night, when Sacred Heart comes to John J. Lee Amphitheater. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

“Every winning streak will have to end sometime.” JAHNGIR KHAN PAKISTANI SQUASH LEGEND

Yale enters Game weekend on win streak FOOTBALL FROM PAGE B1 ception by cornerback Spencer Rymiszewski ’17 — his second in as many games — gave the Bulldogs a short field.

Roberts looked like the veteran signal caller he is, going 5–5 on the drive and finding Clemons for the 19-yard game-winner.

On that play, Clemons ran a seam route, finding a gap between four defenders before Roberts tossed what he later called “the best throw of my career.”

“We almost had [the touchdown] earlier, to Michael Siragusa Jr. ’18, and we’d run it a couple times and really liked the look we were getting,” Roberts said. “The safety actually came over late, which wasn’t what I was anticipating, so I had to put a little more height on it, but it was a great play by Rob and a great job with the protection up front.”

Linebacker Darius Manora ’17 iced the win with another interception, picking off Princeton quarterback Chad Kanoff with three-and-a-half minutes remaining in the game to provide the cherry on top of a fantastic performance from Yale’s defense.

The Bulldogs held Princeton, which entered the game averaging 31.8 points per game, to just seven in the final 30 minutes.

The defense hung tight in key situations: in addition to the pair of picks, which came on thirdand fourth-down, respectively, the unit forced the Tigers to go 0–2 on fourth down and 6–13 on third-down attempts.

Individually, there were several standouts: safety Hayden Carlson ’18 led the team in tackles for the fourth straight game, and linebacker Matthew Oplinger ’18 notched his fifth sack of the season.

“They’re finishing,” Reno said.

“That’s the difference. Some of the games earlier in the year,

The game also saw each team pull out a few trick plays. Princeton ran a flea-flicker in the first quarter, which picked up 34 yards and put the Tigers in scoring position. Yale responded later in the half when, down by seven and facing fourth-andeight from Princeton’s 22-yard line, Reno called the trick play that resulted in Haenni’s touchdown.

The Bulldogs made a similarly bold call for their next score: On fourth-and-goal from the oneyard line, Reno called a quarterback keep. Harris went into

motion, emptying out the backfield and confusing the Princeton defense before Roberts plunged into the end zone to equalize the game.

“I really felt comfortable with what we were doing,” Reno said.

“I had confidence at the end of the game, and I had confidence early on with the plays we called, and I had confidence in the players.”

The final gamble came after the Elis’ final touchdown. Up by five points, Reno took a timeout before electing to go for a twopoint conversion. Tight end Jackson Stallings ’17, who had three receptions for a careerbest 29 yards, caught a perfectly placed ball from Roberts

to extend Yale’s lead to seven.

In addition to converting three of its four fourth-down attempts, Yale finished the day 11–20 on third-down, a seasonhigh clip for the Bulldogs.

“We talk process all the time, and we’re a big family out here,” Stallings said. “We believe in each other every time we go out here. We just stick to our process, play our game and over the 60 minutes we know we’re going to come out on top.”

Yale’s offensive game plan includes, as Reno said in a press conference last week, a commitment to the ground game. Of the Eli offense’s 467 yards, 260 came from the rushing attack on a season-high 55 attempts. While

Elis knock off Crimson, Big Green VOLLEYBALL FROM PAGE B1 non-conference game remaining, a Nov. 24 tilt against Hartford, which should provide head coach Erin Appleman an opportunity to devote more time to some of the team’s underclassmen.

“The underclassmen compose some of the most talented and motivated volleyball players in the league,” captain and outside hitter Karlee Fuller ’16 said. “There’s a lot in store for these girls in the rest of their careers.”

Those underclassmen will have large shoes to fill, as shown by the team’s resolve over the weekend against two teams that each held at least a share of first place during play against Yale.

On Friday night, the Elis played host to Harvard. Yale took the critical matchup in four tight sets, with a number of Bulldogs who are set to return next year providing promising

performances that bode well for the program’s future.

In particular, Yale saw standout performances from outside hitters Kelley Wirth ’19 and Brittani Steinberg ’17, who combined for 34 kills and 21 digs in the victory. Wirth provided a service ace to close out the opening set and a kill to end the match in the fourth set, and Steinberg ended the second set with a kill off a Crawford assist.

Crawford, who missed five Ivy games before returning last weekend, continued to provide excellent play, registering a double-double with a teamhigh 42 assists and 13 digs. Her solid play from the setter position allowed Kelly Johnson ’16 to return to a hitting position, where she notched nine kills including two clutch, consecutive points with the Bulldogs down 24-23 in the first set.

While Friday night’s rivalry win provided a glimpse of what is to come for the team, Sat-

urday allowed for one final moment in the Ivy sun for Yale’s star-laden senior class.

“The weekend was even more special for us seniors because we all had family members there,” libero Christine Wu ’16 said. “We’ve all been playing the sport for so many years, and as much as it is the end of our playing career, it’s the end of an era for our parents, too.”

On Saturday night, the Bulldogs were on their heels for much of the match. Yale won the first set, but quickly dropped the next two, allowing Dartmouth to hit 0.500 and 0.345 in the second and third frames. The Big Green’s Emily Astarita proved a particularly difficult matchup for Yale, recording a match-high 23 kills including 13 in Dartmouth’s second and third set wins.

From there, the Bulldogs rallied back to force a fifth set, scoring the last three points thanks to kills from Wirth and

Johnson to break a 22-all deadlock. In the decisive fifth set, all four healthy seniors provided at least one kill as Yale pulled out a 15–13 win.

Playing all weekend with the pressure on their title-seeking opponents rather than themselves, the Bulldogs utilized loose and efficient play en route to victory.

“We put a lot of serving pressure on both teams and played really smart offensively,” Wu said. “We were really gritty and scrappy on defense. In general, we just were able to play relaxed and have fun and work really hard to play clean volleyball.”

Over the five seniors’ four years on campus, the class of 2016 recorded three Ivy League titles and a 48–8 conference record, including a 27–1 mark at Payne Whitney Gymnasium.

the story of the rushing performance was once again the explosive Harris, the Bulldogs were able to rotate him out. Fellow converted running back Austin Reuland ’16 added 50 yards on 13 carries, while injured starter Deshawn Salter ’18 played one series, picking up seven yards on his two carries before exiting the game.

That consistent ground attack allowed Roberts to attempt just 30 passes, of which he completed 21 for 185 yards. Half of Roberts’ receptions went to slot receiver Christopher Williams-Lopez ’18, who followed up a careerday against Brown last week with a 10-catch, 69-yard performance.

Right guard Jon Bezney ’18 joined Salter on the sideline, leaving the game with an injury.

Siragusa, who sustained a knee injury against Maine, took the field for the first time since midOctober. Despite a clunky knee brace, the sophomore wideout still picked up 17 yards after Roberts tossed him a lateral on an option run in the second quarter.

It is unknown how many, if any, of Yale’s injured players will return next week in the Bulldogs’ final game of the season against Harvard.

Harvard win streak snapped HARVARD FROM PAGE B1 into Hosch’s head by applying pressure early on.

“Once he scrambled and saw the pressure, he didn’t want a part of it,” Panciello said. “Our guys did a great job, and our pursuit stopped him from getting yards on the scramble.”

Hosch was not the only Harvard player to throw a touchdown: wide receiver Justice Shelton-Mosley, a serious candidate for Ivy League Rookie of the Year, also picked up an aerial touchdown, lobbing a 28-yard pass into the end zone off a double-reverse to give Harvard a 25–21 advantage, its only lead of the game. The touchdown was on the exact same play that the Crimson ran against Yale last year to take a 17–7 lead in the third quarter.

Shelton-Mosley’s versatility, though, was outshone by that of Justin Watson, Penn’s sophomore wideout who finished with 249 total yards, outgaining even Quaker quarterback Alek Torgersen’s total of 245 yards.

“We knew the shots we could take downfield,” Torgersen said. “Obviously Justin is a great player and we had good matchups on the inside and the outside, so we were going to take advantage of those all day. We weren’t going to hit all of them, but we were going to hit the majority, and that really showed.”

Watson’s 149 yards on seven receptions is consistent with his eight-catch, 105-yard performance against Yale. However, his career-best 100 rushing yards, which came mostly from a 79-yard scoring run, made it a particularly standout performance. That touchdown came a minute into the fourth quarter to make the score 35–25, ultimately sealing the win.

Harvard’s ground game, meanwhile, did not see the same success. The league’s leading rusher, Paul Stanton Jr., who entered the game averaging 91.9 yards per contest, was held to 74 yards on 13

carries. Stanton also committed a costly fumble on Penn’s 11-yard line in the second quarter.

Fellow running back Semart Smith also fumbled in the red zone, coughing up the ball on Penn’s 18-yard line in the fourth quarter and essentially killing any chance the team had to come back.

Penn football head coach Ray Priore also pointed out that Harvard trailed for much of the game, unusual for a team that defeated its opponents by an average of 28.1 points this season, and said that “chasing points” forced the Crimson out of rhythm and shook their confidence.

Penn’s first three touchdowns all came in quick succession in the first quarter, due in large part to excellent field position. Torgersen ran the first two in himself but took to the air for the third, passing to Watson for a 68-yard score.

“If you look at it … they scored on short field,” Priore said. “They had the blocked punt, the whiffed punt that went only 13 or 14 yards. They were scoring on a short field, and they’re a good, explosive team, but anybody inside the 50 can get there … You never know when the critical play will be.”

The Game is now nearly a must-win for the Crimson, which looks to capture its third-consecutive league title.

A victory either by Penn against Cornell — currently tied for seventh place in the Ivy League — or by Dartmouth against Princeton would mean that a 6–1 conference record is necessary for a share of a title.

“I mean, absolutely,” Crimson captain and linebacker Matt Koran said when asked if the loss lends special significance to The Game. “Our destiny is still in our hands, and we can still end up winning a championship, but we’re going to come back strong against Yale next week.”

Late comebacks lead to split weekend MEN’S HOCKEY

Hoops opens with impressive win

BY MAYA SWEEDLER STAFF REPORTER The Yale men’s basketball team lived up to high expectations Friday afternoon, winning its season opener against Fairfield 70–57 despite seeing just six points from reigning Ivy League Player of the Year, forward Justin Sears ’16.

MEN’S BASKETBALL A strong defensive performance and impressive days from point guard Makai Mason ’18 and forward Brandon Sherrod ’16 allowed the Bulldogs (1–0, 0–0 Ivy) to dominate the Stags (0–2, 0–0 Metro Atlantic), leading by as many as 24 points at one point in their season debut.

“The biggest thing coming into the game was we knew they were going to press,” Mason said of Fairfield. “It was just trying not to get sped up and run our offense in the half-court whether they were doing man or zone, so I had a couple opportunities

and tried to take those. If the defense came over, I’d just drop it down. It’s pretty simple with our offense.”

That offense did not shoot particularly well — Yale hit just 37.9 percent of its attempts from the field and 23.8 percent from the threepoint line arc, both figures slightly worse than Fairfield’s record. But a 47–24 rebounding edge, including 19 Eli offensive boards, and 14 more free-throw attempts enabled the Bulldogs to earn the upper hand.

With Sears in foul trouble early on, the Ivy League’s reigning Player of the Year played just 10 minutes of the first half. Though he would return in the second half and end up with six points in his 23 total minutes, going 3–9 from the field, it was not the performance Yale fans have come to expect from the senior forward.

Following a three-point weekend against two Ivy opponents last week, the Elis tallied just two this weekend in a pair of contests that went to overtime.

BY HOPE ALLCHIN STAFF REPORTER Just 10 minutes decided this weekend’s outcome for the Yale men’s hockey team, as a pair of overtime finishes led to opposing results and a two-point weekend during a conference road trip.

Despite outshooting Rensselaer (5–4–2, 4–0–2 ECAC) 43–19 on Friday, the Bulldogs (4–1–1, 2–1–1) suffered their first loss of the season, 3–2, to the ECAC Hockey dark horse, cur-

rently seated first in the conference though a preseason coaches’ poll predicted a 10th-place finish.

Saturday night’s contest against Union (3–6–3, 1–5–0) gave Yale a chance to redeem itself, as the Bulldogs came from behind to defeat the Dutchmen 2–1 on a sudden-death goal by forward Andrew Gaus ’19, one of two goals for the freshman this weekend.

“It was certainly nice to end the weekend on a high note with the OT win at Union,” defense-

Yale impresses in opening weekend

BY MADDIE WUELFING CONTRIBUTING REPORTER While the Yale women’s basketball team throttled its opponent in its home opener Sunday morning, playing as a favorite, it was how the Bulldogs responded to the underdog role on Friday that turned heads.

W. BASKETBALL Starting off in Ohio on Friday, the Bulldogs (1–1, 0–0 Ivy) kept up with last season’s Elite Eight contestant Dayton (1–0, 0–0 Atlantic 10) for all 40 minutes, falling 81–75 in a 30-point performance by guard Nyasha Sarju ’16. Rebounding on Sunday afternoon at home, Yale produced a 67–34 win against Albertus Magnus (1–1, 0–0 Great Northeast Athletic) in the first-ever meeting of the two teams.

“We really rose to the occasion and played our hearts out,” guard Lena Munzer ’17 said. “We came out with lots of energy on both ends of the floor.”

Sarju’s 30 points, which came along with nine rebounds for the senior, marked not only the highest in her career, but also the highest for a Yale player since 2004.

From the start of the first quarter against Dayton, the Bulldogs knew that they were up against a tough opponent. The Flyers outrebounded Yale 12–7, giving them an 18–13 advantage after the end of the first 10 minutes.

Despite falling behind early in the game, the Elis found an offensive surge in the second quarter.

Sarju scored 13 of Yale’s 27 points in the quarter to help tie up the game 40–40 by halftime. The Bulldogs’ defense held its opponents to 36.1 percent shooting while themselves shooting over 50 percent, which included going

five for 13 from the three-point arc.

Less than two minutes into the third quarter, Yale found itself behind 46–40, but came back with a seven-point run to gain its first lead of both the game and the season.

Down by just two points, 60–58, going into the final quarter, the Bulldogs were able to tie it once again at 71 with just over two minutes left in the contest. Captain and guard Whitney Wyckoff ’16 sunk seven points for the Bulldogs, but the Dayton offense pushed into the lead, outscoring the Bulldogs 10–4 in the last few minutes to take the 81–75 win.

“We came out really strong against Dayton and the game was neck-and-neck,” guard Mary Ann Santucci ’18 said. “While we didn’t end up getting the [win], it was still a positive experience because it gave us a glimpse of what we are going to be able to accomplish this year.”

Although the game was tight for the majority of time — the score was tied for nine minutes of play — the Elis suffered from 19 turnovers, which numbered five more than the Flyers. Yale shot 42.6 percent from the field as a team, which surpassed Dayton’s 41.3-percent clip, but was outrebounded 42–36.

A season opener against a top national opponent proved too difficult for first-year head coach Allison Guth to pick up the first win of her tenure, but Guth seized the next opportunity she had when taking on the much weaker Albertus Magnus two days later.

“It’s hard losing a game [after putting] everything into it, but the just loss just made us feel hungrier,” Munzer said. “You could definitely feel that hunger from the start of [the] home SEE W. BASKETBALL PAGE B2

man Rob O’Gara ’16 said. “We battled really hard, played well in our team game, and I think that was a fitting way to finish the weekend. Friday was frustrating in that it was certainly a winnable game, but a few too many mistakes cost us.”

RPI’s three goals on 19 shots came in spite of a stretch during which goaltender Alex Lyon ’17 saved 15 of the 16 shots fired at him. The Engineers scored on just their second shot of the contest, 79 seconds into the first period,

along with their game-winning score. The Bulldogs would match, but never overcome, the initial 1–0 lead, though they largely dominated the rink.

The Elis quickly established their offensive prowess in the first period as well. Promoted to the starting line for the first time this season, the young duo of forwards Ryan Hitchcock ’18 and Joe Snively ’19 scored at 6:45, just five minutes after the RPI goal.

Season closes in disappointing fashion

ROBBIE SHORT/CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER

Midfielder Ollie Iselin ’18 finished the season tied for second in goals despite missing five games.

BY LISA QIAN CONTRIBUTING REPORTER On Saturday in New Jersey, the Yale men’s soccer team found itself in a precarious position, opposing the Ivy League’s most prolific offense — a squad that had scored 13 goals in its past five games.

MEN’S SOCCER Princeton (10–5–2, 3–3–1 Ivy) dealt Yale (1–14–2, 0–5– 2) — which scored 13 goals all season long — a 3–0 defeat to close the Bulldogs’ season. “[Princeton] came out with a lot of desire to win on their senior night. They pressed us pretty high and we had a hard time tracking their runs from the back,” midfielder Lucas Kirby ’19 said. “In the sec-

ond half, we came out with a lot more heart and the game was more even. It was good to end at least on a good note where we kept ourselves in the game mentally even though the scoreline was uneven.”

In the process, Yale saw the largest number of losses in a single season in the program’s history, eclipsing last year’s total by one to finish with 14 losses for the season.

The defeat also cemented an eighth-place finish in the conference for the Elis.

While the majority of league games were closely contested — Yale tied two Ivy opponents and three of five losses were by a single goal — the Bulldogs were outpaced and outshot 32–9 by Princeton’s powerful offense, and suffered its largest conference loss of the season.

Princeton controlled the action from the outset. Star senior forward Thomas Sanner, who leads the league in goals, points and shots, has scored the same number of goals on his own this season as the entire Yale team combined.

The Bulldog back line struggled to contain this high-powered Tiger onslaught which included a first-half stretch in which the Tigers created 16 unanswered chances.

But despite the barrage of opportunities, the Tigers failed to get onto the scoreboard until senior midfielder Jack Hilger was brought down in the box 20 minutes into the game. Hilger fell to the ground after defender Cameron Riach’s ’19 foot caught on his own, though Yale suspected the midfielder fell a bit

too easily.

“He definitely was stopped from a goal-scoring opportunity, but he also did sell it pretty well. Definitely some theatrics,” forward Kyle Kenagy ’19 said.

Another senior midfielder, John Kendall, stepped up and easily struck the penalty home to put Princeton ahead. Although goalkeeper Kees Schipper ’19 — filling in for Ryan Simpson ’17, who is recovering from a concussion — guessed the direction of the penalty kick correctly, he was unable to bat the ball away.

The penalty kick jumpstarted the Princeton attack.

Not three minutes later, Sanner had an excellent chance when he trapped a high ball with his SEE MEN’S SOCCER PAGE B2
