Following revelations that he was formally accused of sexual harassment in 2013, former School of Medicine cardiology chief Michael Simons MED ’84 has been removed from his position as director of the Yale Cardiovascular Research Center.

Simons’s removal from his directorship follows his decision not to return as cardiology chief after allegations that he sexually harassed one of his researchers, Annarita di Lorenzo. Although the University-Wide Committee on Sexual Misconduct, after examining the allegations against Simons, recommended that he be permanently removed from his position at the helm of cardiology, Provost Benjamin Polak chose to suspend Simons for 18 months instead.

However, he remains a tenured professor at Yale, according to School of Medicine Dean Robert Alpern.

According to a Thursday night email addressed to all faculty members of the medical school’s cardiology department, authored

by Gary Desir — who is interim chair of the Department of Internal Medicine — Simons’s removal is effective immediately. The email said that the removal came as the result of a

University Properties plans to open seven new businesses in New Haven this November.

BY LILLIAN CHILDRESS STAFF REPORTER The area immediately surrounding Yale is about to see a flurry of new business offerings.

This November, University Properties — the University-owned realtor of many buildings surrounding campus — will open seven new businesses in the area surrounding Yale’s

campus, featuring a mix of clothing retailers, restaurants and other merchants. Among the new businesses are Kiko Milano, a European cosmetics store, and Emporium DNA, a high-end clothing boutique, which will fill the long-vacant space at the corner of York and Broadway.

This fall, the working group planning the future details of the two new residential colleges has taken care to remember Yale’s past.

The working group, which includes members of the Admissions Office, the Provost’s Office and the Office of Career Strategy, is responsible for outlining the living and transfer arrangements of the new colleges. Last week, it met with John Wilkinson ’60, the inaugural dean of Ezra Stiles College, to inform its decisions.

“There’s always something you can learn from history,” Yale College Dean Jonathan Holloway said. “At the same time, we always have to be mindful that this is 50 years ago … For better and for worse,

GUEST COLUMNIST NAT H A N ST E I N B E R G

Divided and conquered O

n Oct. 31, Governor Dan Malloy allocated $21 million in state bond dollars to the redevelopment project “Downtown Crossing,” an effort to reunite downtown New Haven with the Hill neighborhood. Last year, the city hired the Canadian firm LiveWorkLearnPlay to design a "vibrant urban village," in the words of the developers, that will occupy the former site of the Coliseum.

The site, located along George Street near the Knights of Columbus museum, will include 77,000 square feet of retail space, 200,000 square feet of office space and 53,000 square feet of public space. I fear the potential local disruption outweighs the convenience of a new commercial venture. LiveWorkLearnPlay’s project could irreversibly gentrify the culturally diverse, albeit struggling, Hill neighborhood.

The walk from campus to the medical school is no easy feat.

Cars zip over the College Street overpass, sidewalks narrow and intersections grow dangerous.

You can thank Mayor Richard C. Lee for one of the most hostile pedestrian routes in the city. In 1959, Lee approved an ambitious attempt to improve the Elm City’s commercial sector: the Oak Street Connector, a highway stretching from I-95 to downtown New Haven. Designed to channel traffic toward downtown, the Oak Street Connector ended up disemboweling central New Haven and isolating the Hill’s 15,000 inhabitants. An aerial image of New Haven reveals the damage — the buildings are divided by six lanes of asphalt.

Now, urban planners aim to revitalize underutilized land in the wake of the Connector through the Downtown Crossing project.

The project began in 2007 after the demolition of the old Coliseum. Mayor John DeStefano Jr. received initial federal funding to bandage the area, but the area remained unoccupied for many years. Just before the end of his term, DeStefano gave LiveWorkLearnPlay the go-ahead to construct a plaza.

The plaza’s early blueprints manifest New Urbanism, a recent architectural movement that promotes urban walkability and multiuse real estate.

After all, who could dislike a trend that encourages ecoconsciousness and beautifying urban landscapes?

According to the evidence, residents of the Hill neighborhood beg to differ. At a neighborhood council meeting in 2012, some inhabitants of the

Hill were skeptical that the amenities of the project would be useful, according to the New Haven Independent. Ann Greene, a local from the West River neighborhood, dubbed the Coliseum redevelopment a “Golden Ghetto” that would only cater to the needs of yuppies.

I attended a lecture delivered

by York Street architect Herbert Newman on Nov. 6 at the First Church of Christ. Newman lauded LiveWorkLearnPlay for its effort to bring the epicenter of commerce to the geographic heart of the city.

Yet he seemed too enthralled with the new ice skating rink to mention the project’s benefits for the 40 percent of Hill residents who live below the poverty line. LiveWorkLearnPlay’s director of programming, Kiran Marok, shrugged off my concern that her company’s vision would engender dislocation.

She seemed certain that “in the long term” this project would foster community.

Perhaps Marok is misled in her belief that community is the antidote to socioeconomic tensions in the area.

Her firm’s project operates on the assumption that everyone in this city can put aside social tensions and interact positively with one another. Will shop owners mind homeless people sleeping on plaza benches?

How will they respond to cases of petty theft?

One side of New Haven has concentrated wealth, whitecollar jobs and real estate. The Hill neighborhood, however, is on the verge of becoming a food desert, an area where only fast food or convenience markets are within walking distance.

You don’t need a degree in urban design to realize that the Oak Street Connector did more to disconnect local communities than to reunite them. But LiveWorkLearnPlay’s vision is not a fitting correction for this problem. An additional $1 million in annual hotel tax revenue does not outweigh the wellbeing of New Haven’s oft-forgotten low-income citizens.

New Haven’s political and civic elite ignored community criticism of the project and turned it over to a foreign entrepreneurial group. Only the uppercrust of New Haven will benefit from this blatant act of gentrification. I encourage Kiran Marok and her team to reevaluate the ability of the plaza to create local and regional connectivity.

the administration still hasn’t bothered to hire enough new professors. “[The administration] never said SCOTT there was a STERN hiring freeze, but they cerA Stern tainly slowed hirPerspective down ing,” History Department Chair Naomi Lamoreaux told the News last month. “There have been a lot of vacancies they haven’t filled.”

Circumstances are, obviously, even more dire for staff members.

Huge layoffs have been a fact of life for Local 34 since 2008, and members of Local 35 (who have a no-layoff clause in their contract) still report the University will sometimes “go around and get us out the back door,” as Local 35 Community Vice President Frank Douglass told the News in March.

“The administration has overlooked the impact of the cuts on people’s lives,” Laurie Kennington, president of Local 34, told me in an email.

In November 2013, Provost Benjamin Polak told the News that layoffs over the next three to five years were likely. “It won’t be pain-free,” he said. In 2012, the provost made $643,317.

And circumstances remain dire for students. The administration still won’t recognize the Graduate Employees and Students Organization, which would

allow graduate students to negotiate for better pay for their labor.

On the undergraduate side, since the 2008–09 school year, the student contribution for students on financial aid has increased 34 percent (from $2,500 to $3,350).

Over that same period, the cost of tuition, room and board has risen by 37 percent (from $46,000 to $63,000). Last year, citing budgetary concerns, the administration made it harder for students not on aid to hold a term-time job.

The only people whose pocketbooks were not affected in any meaningful way by the financial crisis, apparently, are top administrators, many of whom make in the high six or low seven figures. From 2008 (the year of the crash) to 2012, Levin’s salary grew from $1.53 to $1.84 million, rising every year, with the exception of a negligible fall from 2009 to 2010.

In 2010, professor Joel Rosenbaum wrote a column calling for administrators to cap their salaries at $500,000 “until the economic situation improves.” A month later, Rosenbaum told the News, “I don’t think there are enough hours in a single day … to warrant that kind of salary.” As long as administrators continue to act as if we’re in a crisis, they should adopt Rosenbaum’s suggestion.

The University claims that Lorimer and Robinson’s pay were so high because of one-time distributions in recognition of their service to the University. “It was fitting recognition of their careers at Yale,” Roland Betts, a

former senior fellow of the Yale Corporation, told the News.

How many other hard-working Yale employees have received such generous recognition?

I don’t doubt that Lorimer and Robinson, and, for that matter, Levin and Salovey, are genuinely — perhaps extraordinarily — devoted to Yale. I don’t doubt that they’re hardworking. I wouldn’t resent them a decent, reasonable compensation. However, the money they have received — especially in light of all of the university’s austerity measures — is absurd.

I don’t care what (adopt hushed tone) “the market” would pay them out in “the real world.”

They’re here. They are employees of a non-profit organization dedicated to research and teaching. If they are so devoted, maybe they should act like it.

I’m calling on President Levin, Vice President Lorimer, Chief Investment Officer David Swensen and others to donate the massive bonuses back to Yale.

I’m also calling on administrators to follow Rosenbaum’s suggestion and cap their salaries at $500,000 until the layoffs have ceased, until the graduate student union is recognized and until hiring is back to normal.

For Yale’s top administrators to keep making this much money, while forcing austerity measures on the rest of us, would be unconscionable.

'INWOOD TIGER' ON 'FOOTBALL: YALE BEATS PRINCETON 44-30'

Yale's one percent

n Nov. 5, the News reported that Linda Lorimer, the vice president for global and strategic initiatives, made nearly $1.75 million in 2012, and University General Counsel Dorothy Robinson made $1.67 million that same year. Then-President Richard Levin took home $1.84 million. Two officials in the Investments Office each earned over $2 million. Another five administrators made more than $1 million apiece.

That same day the News also reported that, though Yale is now boasting a $51 million surplus, “administrators and faculty members interviewed expected Yale’s current cost cutting measures — issued after Yale’s $39 million deficit in 2013 — to remain unchanged.”

The contrast between this report and the administrators’ salaries struck me, and many others with whom I spoke, as outrageous at best, offensive at worst. As my suitemate Tayo Ajayi ’15, who brought the contrast to my attention, told me, “I just find it difficult to believe that [Lorimer] is that irreplaceable.”

Following the 2008 financial crisis, Yale experienced a $350 million deficit. Cuts were made.

Between 2008 and 2010, according to the Yale Alumni Magazine, 920 staff positions were “eliminated for budgetary reasons.”

Tuition rose. Hiring ceased for ladder faculty.

In 2012, the year that top administrators were raking in the dough, the number of ladder faculty fell to 682, down from 700 in 2010. In some departments,

It's okay to leave

ne Tuesday, my suitemate and I drank chai tea in our friend’s common room and listened to his old records.

The next Tuesday, he was gone.

Finding out that my friend, a fellow freshman, had decided to leave Yale initially perplexed me.

Yale undergraduates are continually reminded of our coveted position in life. From renowned professors and speakers to student organizations of every variety, the great promise of Yale is something that seems hard to walk away from. But my friend’s decision isn’t one to be scorned.

It should be lauded. It is okay to leave.

Few people withdraw from Yale. The Yale Fact Sheet compiled by the Office of Institutional Information touts a student body statistic attesting to this: 99% of freshmen return for their sophomore year. College ranking websites routinely rank Yale as one of the best colleges in terms of number student happiness.

But these statistics are deceptive and, to some extent, oppressive. Not all freshmen are content with their experiences.

You’d be hard-pressed to find

someone whose “bright college years” don’t have a fair share of not-so-bright moments. On a campus where everyone seems to be doing fine, we often keep distance from instances where our experiences fail to meet our expectations. This is a dangerous approach, especially during a time of transition where emotions are likely more volatile than usual.

It is okay for us to admit that Yale is not healthy for everyone. In fact, it is our responsibility to understand that for some of our peers, with whom we share lunch tables, classes and a home, this environment feels destructive, not constructive. We don’t need clinical expertise or administrative authority to recognize that it is possible for life at Yale to endanger the personal wellbeing of some members of our community. It is okay for someone to want to leave — and it is okay for him or her to leave. There shouldn't be a stigma attached to the concept of withdrawing from Yale.

Personal growth is not exclusively a by-product of an Ivy League education. We shouldn’t

look at leaving Yale as giving up those renowned speakers or professors from institutions around the globe. Time off can instead be an opportunity to embrace alternative paths towards learning and success. I took a gap year between high school and college, and I can attest to the numerous and varied lessons available outside of the structure of the 13 weeks of school term. Leaving a Yale education does not necessitate missing out on education — we should remember the possibility of attending other institutions or pursuing endeavors unconstrained by a formal academic environment.

Withdrawing from Yale may seem logistically overwhelming, and its financial and personal costs should not be overlooked.

We may feel obligations to the friends, parents and mentors who helped us get here. But while it is important not to preemptively abandon Yale, early withdrawal may be the wisest investment.

Rather than only half-heartedly utilize the resources at Yale now, it might be more productive to take a semester off before returning in a healthier state and

more ready to tackle Yale. Seeking alternative routes is a frightening prospect, but sacrificing up to four years of life — years of immense potential and dynamic growth — is a more devastating loss.

One of my suitemates often contemplates how she could abruptly leave Yale and go abroad or write a book. On one level, this is a form of daydreaming for her, a coping mechanism to temporarily escape from the problem sets and papers in front of her.

But, unlike my other friend’s decision, her contemplation is a form of frivolous procrastination. Leaving Yale is not as easy as in her daydream. Withdrawal is a difficult decision with serious implications. Although I feel the loss of those visits to my friend’s suite and the songs we listened to together, I understand his decision. For his friends, the doubts we may harbor and the personal toll of his new absence must come second to the hope that he is in a better place.

Alumni assembly focuses on entrepreneurship

BY TYLER FOGGATT STAFF REPORTER Nearly 500 alumni flooded campus on Thursday for a weekend of lectures, fireside chats and presentations that showcased the entrepreneurial pursuits of Yale graduates.

The assembly of the Association of Yale Alumni, an annual event that takes place during the weekend of the last home football game, is a leadership program that attracts large numbers of alumni delegates back to campus each year. This year’s assembly marks the 74th time that alumni have gathered on campus for this event, with the theme this year being “The Entrepreneurial Spirit at Yale.”

“Entrepreneurship is not something we typically associate with Yale,” Assembly Chair Darcy Pollack ’87 said. “We think of Yale as being a bastion for the liberal arts and a wonderful traditional academic education. But if you think about startup ventures or entrepreneurial thought, you tend to think of schools like Stanford and MIT.” Pollack said the first day of every assembly weekend is devoted to a Yale-related theme that reconnects alumni to current campus happenings, while the second day is focused on alumni leadership training.

People often overlook how entrepreneurial and innovative the University is, Pollack said, due to Yale’s focus on the liberal arts.

She added that as an entrepreneur, she has personally been struck by the great number of entrepreneurial ventures on campus, such as the Yale Entrepreneurial Society and InnovateHealth Yale.

Director of Entrepreneurial Programs at the Yale School of Management Kyle Jensen said this year’s theme was “brilliant” considering the University’s recent efforts to fund entrepreneurial efforts.

“We are investing heavily in entrepreneurship at Yale — expanding our curriculum and our resources for Yale founders, whether students, faculty or staff,” Jensen said.

Both Jensen and Pollack agreed that the entrepreneurial theme of this year’s assembly was conducive to student and alumni collaboration, resulting in an assembly format that was much more interactive than assemblies of the past.

A majority of the roughly 29 participating students were leaders of startups on campus, Pollack added.

“Typically, assembly has been a lot of talking heads — a lot of straight panels and speeches,” she said. “So we tried to shake it up a bit. Our opening session was a start up showcase, which was

kind of like a demo day, and then we broke up into smaller sessions where we paired up students from on campus ventures to talk to alums.”

Alumni interviewed said they enjoyed exchanging entrepreneurial experiences with current students.

John Boak ’70, who attended the conference and spoke to students about his experiences as a self-employed artist and designer, said he loved hearing from students about their budding ventures. He added that graduates today are emerging from a Yale that is very different than the one he graduated from, in which the emphasis is placed more on career prospects than on exploring ideas.

On Friday afternoon, alumni ate lunch with University President Peter Salovey in Commons, where Salovey updated them on the state of the University. During the lunch, the Yale-Jefferson Public Service Awards were presented to two students and an alumnus in honor of their charitable endeavors.

Friday evening was reserved for the Yale Medal Dinner, where five recipients were honored for their service to the University. AYA Director of Strategic Initiatives Stephen Blum ’74 said the Yale Medal is the highest award that can be given to a Yale alumnus for something they do as a volunteer.

Hundreds bid farewell to Yale particle accelerator

TYLER FOGGATT/CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER

Alumni flooded campus on Thursday for an assembly focusing on entrepreneurship.

The assembly closed with the Alumni Village tailgate at the Yale Bowl, prior to Saturday’s football game against Princeton.

Blum said Alumni Village is the “mother of all tailgates” — a place where over 1,000 alumni gather before the game to catch up with old friends and classmates.

Seven of eight students interviewed said they were unaware that the alumni assembly took place last weekend, although they all said they noticed the increased number of alumni on campus.

Assembly is one of the most important alumni events of the year, said Blum, as the University has anywhere from 160,000 to 180,000 alumni living in the world at one time. He noted that this number continues to grow each year, due to longevity and the increasing number of undergraduate and graduate students attending Yale each year.

Crowds flocked to the home of Yale’s nuclear accelerator Saturday to see it one last time.

Long lines formed outside the bunker-like home of Yale’s nuclear accelerator Saturday morning as hundreds waited to see the mammoth atom smasher one last time.

Decommissioned in 2011, the particle accelerator is set to be taken apart and removed from its home on Science Hill by spring 2015. In the first and only public tour of the nuclear physics facility, researchers at Wright Lab led groups of 35 people through the installation’s cavernous halls and into the bright blue tank that high-energy particles once zipped through.

“People have often wondered what went on in these bunker lab facilities,” said physics professor Karsten Heeger, director of Wright Lab. “When the accelerator was operational, it was not possible to conduct many tours, but now we want to take this opportunity to open up the lab and show them what we really did.”

Dedicated in 1966 under the direction of David Allan Bromley — later science advisor to President George H.W. Bush ’48 — Wright Lab and its accelerator transformed Yale into one of the leading institutions in nuclear physics, Heeger said.

The original device was replaced by the current version in 1987. Operating at 22 million volts and propelling atoms at tens of millions of miles per hour, the machine was at the time the highest-energy tandem accelerator in the world, associate director for operations and 25-year Wright Lab veteran Jeff Ashenfelter told visiting groups.

He added that the accelerator allowed research teams to gain important insights into phenomena that ranged from the micro to the macro, from the structure of nuclei to the formation of stars.

But the existence of the massive facility was little-known, according to those interviewed.

“I had no idea we had something like this!” said Joy Chang ’94, who came down from New York with her husband and five-year-old daughter specifically to catch the tour.

Neither did Stefan Reul, who had worked in New Haven for over 10 years and drove in Saturday morning with his 17-year-old son.

“Everyone knows the Peabody [museum].

But not this,” he said, laughing.

The prospect of seeing a nuclear accelerator up close excited the over 700 people who braved the chill to get a final glimpse of the

facility. Most visitors interviewed were surprised by the long lines but were willing to wait as Wright Lab staff distributed information pamphlets to the crowd.

Heeger said that he did not expect such a large turnout. Around 200 people took part when Wright Lab conducted its one previous tour that was limited to members of the Yale community, back in 2013 during University President Peter Salovey’s inauguration.

That success spurred the Wright Lab to hold this first public tour, and the interest the community showed in the science being conducted at Yale was very encouraging, Heeger said. The lab will be looking for more opportunities to share its research with the public, he added.

Attendants interviewed said that they would welcome similar outreach efforts in the future.

Chang explained that it was because of their daughter that the family decided to make the three-hour roundtrip from New York. At the age of five and a half, she already has a passion for astrophysics, Chang said.

Thirteen-year-old Michael Loalbo also came in from outside of the Elm City. Arriving from Hamden with his mother, he was enthused about studying atoms in school and said he could not miss a chance to see how scientists studied them.

One visitor with a slightly different motivation was Martin Cobern GRD ’74. It has been 40 years since he obtained his Ph.D. working in this very same bunker, doing research into the structure of light nuclei.

The tours conducted by Wright Lab had a special significance for him, he said. His journey in science began on a similar tour nearly 50 years ago, when he visited the accelerator at Brookhaven National Laboratory, New York.

“It’s sad to me. It’s the end of an era,” said Cobern.

The decommissioning of Yale’s particle accelerator comes as Wright Lab shifts its research focus. Heeger said that the lab will develop new detectors that will be deployed around the world to probe the nature of neutrinos and dark matter.

The bunker facility itself will be transformed to house state-of-the-art labs that will support teaching and research.

BY STEPHANIE ADDENBROOKE AND NOAH KIM STAFF REPORTER AND CONTRIBUTING REPORTER Despite their recent efforts to reach out to the Yale community through a week full of events celebrating African culture on campus, many African students still feel misrepresented at the University.

Julia Jenjezwa ’16, the vice president of Yale African Students Association, said that during Africa Week — an annual celebration of African culture hosted by YASA held last week, which included events such as an African dance master class and an address from South African female opposition leader Lindiwe Mazibuko — there were often times where she felt that the Yale community did not want to engage with the discussions the week raised.

YASA president Esther Soma ’16 said she was disappointed that the Veritas Forum with Philosophy professor Shelly Kagan on Wednesday filled Battell Chapel, while many of the intellectually focused Africa Week events saw minimal participation.

The theme of this year’s Africa Week was “Pamba Zuko: Voices of a New Generation.” Soma said that the theme was chosen because YASA wanted to highlight voices that are not often being heard, particularly those from a younger generation, adding that every speaker YASA selected was under 40 years of age.

“When you think of Africa, it’s very easy to hear about Kofi Annon or [Nelson] Mandela,”

she said. “But this is a new generation, and the stories from that new generation have to be told.”

In her talk on Monday, entitled “New Voices in Governance,” Mazibuko said there is no option for the African youth but to rise and make their voices heard.

Sangu Delle, a U.S.-based Ghanaian entrepreneur who cofounded a sanitation project for a village in his home country while he was in college, gave a talk about founding entrepreneurial businesses. He also, however, discussed the challenges faced

by African students who come to the U.S. for university. Delle, who studied African Studies as an undergraduate at Harvard, said he was confronted with criticism and prejudice from his home community.

Five students interviewed during the panels said they appreciated that YASA made an effort to invite young and inspirational African leaders.

Jenjezwa said that Yale is a much better place for African students than many schools in the U.S. However, she suggested that when writing about Africa, many forget that there are actually Africans on campus.

The most recent example of this that students interviewed cited was the Ebola crisis. Jenjezwa said many students from the continent are not going home for Christmas because they fear not being allowed back into the U.S., even if Ebola is not in their countries.

Yale students are not alone in these concerns. Jessica Sithebe, the freshman representative for the Harvard African Students Association, said fears of

Ebola across the U.S. led to misconceptions about Africa. She added that the virus’ spread has sparked inappropriate jokes and comments in conversation.

Wabantu Hlophe ’18, a student from South Africa who is involved with YASA, said African students struggle to break down conceptions of their home countries.

“Our home countries stop being places of civilization and start being places of events,” he said. “Places where things went wrong and our countries’ names become synonymous with whatever that problem was. When people hear the word, Rwanda, they think ‘Rwandan Genocide.’

When they hear Sierra Leone, they think ‘blood diamonds.’

Somalia, they think ‘piracy.’”

While some students feel misrepresented, Warner said YASA helps incorporate African students into campus culture and provides a comfort for them.

She said it is sometimes difficult to frequently read news articles about corruption and problems in her home country.

“It is disheartening to read, but since I have been at Yale I am proud to say I’m from South Africa, and it has made me excited about returning with a new and more positive perspective,” she said.

Yale College has only 55 students from the African continent currently enrolled, 9 percent of the international student population of 598.

FROM THE FRONT

“Branford College is the oldest and most beautiful of the Yale residential colleges.”

ROBERT FROST AMERICAN WRITER

Simons removed from directorship TIMELINE SIMONS’S REMOVAL FROM DIRECTORSHIP Dr. Michael Simons is formally charged with sexual harassment through a complaint brought before the UWC in 2013.

October 2014 Simons decides to not return to his position as Section Chief in 2015, according to Desir’s email to all faculty members in the School of Medicine Cardiology Department on Nov. 13.

April–August 2014 An independent management review is conducted evaluating Simons’s leadership.

Nov. 13, 2014 Gary Desir sends an email to all faculty members in the School of Medicine Cardiology Department that Simons will no longer serve as Director of the Cardiovascular Research Center.

SIMONS FROM PAGE 1 prior review of his leadership.

It did not mention the sexual harassment charges. However, faculty members interviewed claimed that the process of Simons’s removal did not involve administrative transparency.

Desir’s email also stated that Simons decided in October not to return to his position as chief of cardiology at the end of his suspension in 2015.

According to Desir’s email, Simons’s management of the Cardiovascular Research Center was reviewed from April through August. However, many within the Department of Cardiology said Desir’s email was the first acknowledgement of any investigation into Simons’s conduct and leadership.

Faculty members interviewed expressed frustration with the lack of procedural transparency, claiming the majority of their information regarding the UWC investigation, as well as Simons’s eventual removal, came as the result of widespread news coverage — such as a front-page article in The New York Times on Nov. 1 — and not from University administrators.

“If The New York Times article had not come out, it would just be business as usual,” said an anonymous source from the School of Medicine who wanted their identity protected for fear of retribution. “I find that troubling.”

The source said faculty within the cardiology department had received no official word regarding the UWC investigation or Simons’s subsequent suspension. Rather, the source said faculty were led to believe Simons was taking a leave of absence unrelated to any allegations of misconduct.

“I heard rumors and heard talk of what was going on, but there was never any official explanation,” the source said.

The source noted Desir’s email — the only official communication from the administration — was sent just one day before a second New York Times article reported Simons’s removal.

According to multiple people within the cardiology department interviewed. The two-part independent review of Simons’s leadership included an anonymous online survey sent to department faculty members.

Shortly after, select members of the department were brought in for individual interviews conducted by an outside firm.

A source who participated in the online survey and was also brought in for an interview said he was not aware of any particular method used to select faculty members for the interviews, which lasted between 30 minutes and one hour. The source said the survey involved “pretty generic questions about leadership,” such as “does this person have any fatal flaws that would prevent them from holding an effective leadership position?”

Another source, who requested to remain anonymous due to fears of retaliation, expressed relief that recent media coverage exposed what the source described as poor management of the cardiology department under Simons.

According to The New York Times, Desir wrote in an email to medical school administrators earlier this month that he had learned that “[Simons] and a couple of research senior cardiology faculty [had] been pressuring” other faculty to speak in defense of Simons. Desir added that he had already met with some of these faculty who had supposedly been pressured, the Times article stated. “[The] story is completely untrue,” Simons wrote in an email to the News Friday afternoon. “I never asked anyone to do anything on my behalf.”

Medical school cardiology professor Martin Schwartz said there were a substantial number of Yale and non-Yale faculty who, upon hearing the sexual misconduct allegations, independently contacted Simons, the administration and other members of the research center to show their support for Simons.

Simons became chief of cardiovascular medicine and director of the Yale Cardiovascular Research Center in 2008.

Working group seeks advice from former Stiles dean

LARRY MILSTEIN/CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER

The working group planning the details of the two new residential colleges takes into consideration Yale’s past in planning for the future.

WORKING GROUP FROM PAGE 1 ert A.M. Stern Architects have completed the construction drawings for the project.

Holloway said these floor plans are close to final, explaining that while the major programming spaces are set, some details of the dorms — such as specific room assignments for freshman counselors, for example — may still be reconfigured.

In his meeting with the working group on Thursday, Wilkinson encouraged the members to continue practices that were successful in his time.

Specifically, he recommended that the members put the new college administrators in place two years prior to the colleges’ opening — as they did for the debut of Morse and Stiles Colleges. This will allow the colleges to form communities even before students arrive, Wilkinson explained.

“I urged them to consider that if they possibly can,” he said.

“Creating a community overnight is not an easy thing to do.”

The new colleges’ masters will begin their terms of service on July 1, 2016, and the deans on Jan. 1, 2017, Holloway said.

The new residential colleges are slated to open in August 2017.

While these time frames are shorter than those used in the past, Wilkinson said they may still provide enough time to build communities as strong as Morse and Stiles’ were. This will depend on when and how the first students are affiliated with the new colleges, he said.

“The important thing is that people don’t all walk in in September or August and say, ‘What do we do?’” he said.

Still, Wilkinson acknowledged that some aspects of residential college life are very dif-

ferent now.

He explained that when Morse and Stiles first opened, many students wanted to transfer into the colleges because they offered single bedrooms — a rarity in those days. However, because renovations have endowed some of the colleges with more singles, fewer students may transfer seeking privacy, he said.

Wilkinson also said that because in the early 1960s, students were not placed into residential colleges until the end of their freshman year, college affiliations were not felt as strongly. Because students are

now grouped into colleges all four years, they might be less likely to want to transfer, he said.

“The challenge in the committee is how to make these two new colleges something that will be attractive to students that might want to transfer,” he said.

Of 14 students interviewed, only three said they would consider transferring to the new residential colleges. Most cited strong ties to their residential college communities as a reason not to transfer.

Chris Rudeen ’17 said that he would consider transferring only if his all of his suitemates

did.

“I already feel so strongly tied to the Morse community,” Sam Savitz ’17 said. “I can’t think of anything off the top of my head that would make me want to transfer.”

Savitz also noted that he feels a tie to Morse because his mother was also a member of the college. The two new residential colleges will not yet have these alumni ties, he added.

The new residential colleges will have 904 beds.

SOM holds low-carbon investment competition

Olive oil shop opens

BY VICTOR WANG CONTRIBUTING REPORTER

JULIA HENRY/CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER

Extra Virgin Oil Store, the new University Properties specialty shop, opens today on Chapel Street.

BY JOEY YE CONTRIBUTING REPORTER Subway is no longer the only business in New Haven asking customers if they want oil and vinegar.

Opening today, Extra Virgin Oil Store is one of seven new businesses openings University Properties is celebrating this month. The store, located at 1020 Chapel St., is the second Extra Virgin specialty shop to open in the state and seeks to bring organic and natural olive oils and vinegars to the New Haven community. Several students interviewed said that while they did not know anything about the store, they thought it would bring a welcome variety to the shops located around Yale. “[Extra Virgin Oil is] great actually because there are very few good olive oils around,” Adrian Martinez DRA ’15 said.

“In my community at the Grad School, a lot of people cook and I think the success of the store will depend on how much cooking people do.”

Store owner and New Haven native Stephen Clemente said University Properties called him asking if he would want to open a second branch of his store in New Haven. Clemente said that the business was well received in Mystic, Connecticut — where the first branch opened — and he

expects that the store will also fit into the fabric of the Yale community.

Paul Eisele, an employee at Raggs Fashion for Men, located next to Extra Virgin, said that much aesthetic work, including creating raised wooden floor panels, had been done on the store before today’s opening. He added that many potential customers have already been looking through the windows, checking to see if the store is open.

“What makes our store unique, compared to every other olive oil stores out there, is that we are not a franchise,” Clemente said. “The only place to get my products are in one of the two stores, either in Mystic or New Haven.”

In addition to the two olive oil stores, Clemente has opened two other businesses, specializing in pasta and wine, respectively.

Inspired by his grandmother’s recipes and culinary knowledge, Clemente opened the first location in 2011 to celebrate her 100th birthday. He said his grandmother’s philosophy was to consume an ounce of olive oil in the morning and an ounce of vinegar in the evening. He added that this would help protect the stomach throughout the course of the day while speeding up digestion and metabolism overnight.

“People ask me all the time, does it work? Well of course it

works, she was a hundred years old,” Clemente said. “That was three years ago. She’s still alive today and still continues to drink her oil and vinegar.”

All of the store’s products are designed by Clemente and his staff. Not only are customers able to taste the oils and vinegars, they are also encouraged to choose their own blends, Clemente said. He added that customers are then able to taste the mixture as a vinaigrette or marinade.

Leah Loricco, an employee at Therapy Style on Chapel, said she thought the community will like the store because it is one of a kind. Director of University Properties Lauren Zucker echoed that sentiment, noting that UP always looks for a unique mix of tenants.

However, several undergraduate students and New Haven residents have also said that the store will not be of much use to them. Kim Carlson, a resident of New Haven, noted that the shop seemed “out of step” with the other stores on the street.

Bruce Wujcik, another local resident, said that the business occupies a unique niche and might not do well in the long run.

Before Extra Virgin Oil leased 1020 Chapel St., it was occupied by 1804 Fashion Footwear.

Hundreds bid farewell to Yale particle accelerator

BY DIEGO RODRÍGUEZ CONTRIBUTING REPORTER After facing significant challenges with snow removal in past winters, city officials have developed a plan to keep streets cleared this season.

Last year, some of the Elm City’s streets received more than 16 inches of snow after experiencing three consecutive major storms. Deputy Director of Operations of the Emergency Operations Center Rick Fontana said the city was caught off guard last winter because several of its snow removal trucks were taken off of the streets by the State Department due to maintenance issues. While the city has not yet experienced a blizzard this year, city officials plan to introduce a strongly enforced parking ban and a larger fleet of trucks to improve snow removal.

“It’s typically when we get to snow levels of six inches or greater that we have to declare a parking ban,” Fontana said. “It’s kind of common sense. You’ve got to get the cars off the street to get it plowed.”

The bans will be communicated whenever necessary through phone calls, text messages or emails to all New Haven residents who sign up for the service. Alerts will also be transmitted through the Yale Alert System and the city’s website.

With a fleet of approximately 30 vehicles, including nine new class-eight trucks and a 10-foot snow blower loaded into a trailer truck, the EOC has stockpiled tools to remove the snow this year, according to Fontana.

It has even hired contractors to have more trucks available when needed. With a properly respected parking ban, this would allow even the eight narrowest snow routes in the city to be cleared whenever necessary, Fontana said.

Rachel Williams ’17 said she recalled having a tough time with the snow when visiting Stop & Shop in February last year.

“Once you got outside the Yale area, you could tell that it was not that well taken care of,” Williams said. “One time I went to Stop & Shop, and as soon as I got off the Yale Campus, there were just piles of snow that hadn’t been pushed off the sidewalk, and I was basically climbing down small mountains of snow.”

The city’s inability to fulfill its streetclearing plan last year made several residents, such as William Iovanne, director of the Iovanne Funeral Home, step in to help with snow removal. That winter, Iovanne cleared a five-block area from Olive Street to Franklin Street and from Wooster Street to Green Street.

Iovanne testified at a meeting of the Board of Alders on Oct. 14 to express concern with the way that New Haven managed snow removal last year, but he trusts Fontana to lead an efficient operation this year.

“This year, the city has a plan, and I’ve got a lot of confidence in Rick Fontana,” Iovanne said. “They’ve put together, from what I can see, an excellent plan.”

Fontana underscored that snow removal is necessary to maintain safe streets — with excessive levels of snow, senior citizens are at risk of slipping on the sidewalks and getting injured, while automobiles may skid and cause accidents.

Some streets along 22 major routes are scheduled to become part of what Fontana called “posted snow routes,” on which violators of parking bans will be ticketed and towed to allow for quick snow removal. The highest priority routes will be those leading to New Haven’s two public hospitals, so that emergency vehicles can move in a safe and quick manner.

If all else fails, the city will spread salt and sand as necessary on snow-ridden streets.

The city is currently considering a variety of alternatives to meet residents’ parking needs. Iovanne said that, with proper communication would encourage residents to cooperate with the city, because the fees for parking overnight are still less expensive than the tickets faced by ban violators.

Even while he sees improvement over last winter’s conditions, Iovanne still feels that the plan is highly dependent on the collaboration of New Haven’s citizens.

“No plan is perfect. What they have now is a great plan,” Iovanne said. “They’re headed in the right direction, but it’s going to take the cooperation of owners of vehicles.”

Business school students and prominent members of the investment world gathered last Friday to discuss responsible, low-carbon investing during a Yale School of Management event.

MBA candidates from across the country competed in the inaugural National Low Carbon Case Competition, hosted by the SOM. The 11 teams — including participants from the SOM, New York University Stern School of Business and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business — presented their strategies to lower the carbon intensity of a hypothetical university’s investment portfolio. The judges, led by Bob Litterman, former head of Risk Management at Goldman Sachs, ultimately announced the NYU Stern team as the winner.

Beyond the competition, the event was used as an opportunity for MBA students and the investment community to engage in conversation about responsible investment.

“Yale has a history of engaging responsible investing, and we really wanted to showcase a way for Yale to continue to be a thought leader in responsible investing,” said Logan Yonavjak SOM ’16 FES ’16, co-director of the competition.

The NYU Stern team offered an investment plan that divested from companies that owned or extracted fossil fuels, while pursuing shareholder engagement with other energy-intensive companies like utility companies and manufacturers. The second-place Yale SOM team also pitched a strategy that involved divestment by ranking all the assets in the endowment’s portfolio by the amount of carbon emitted per dollar of revenues.

Still, other teams focused on carbon-free investing strategies beyond divestment.

Yonavjak said that these strategies reveal that “divestment is a part but not the whole of the conversation, and it is important to think about broader strategies.”

One of the key themes was “divest to reinvest,” according to the Yale SOM team, which argued that divestment from fossil fuel companies should be accompanied by investment in eco-friendly firms as well.

A number of teams, including the Chicago Booth team, found that a low-carbon portfolio could produce higher returns than a traditional portfolio by investing in high-growth clean energy sectors.

During the competition, teams also discussed the feasibility of their low-carbon investment approaches. Sabrina Szeto FES ’16, a member of the conference’s organizing team, said portfolio managers can build a

diversified portfolio from green bonds, which have the same risk and return profile as traditional bonds, along with a mix of investments in green infrastructure.

Some teams suggested that investment decisions are built on the moral, financial and legal foundations of a university. Others also emphasized the moral obligations of investment managers.

The teams’ models and strategies were well received by the audience and the judges during the competition.

“The 11 competing MBA teams did a fantastic job of exploring the challenges and nuances involved in actually taking action and the whole room left inspired and energized,” said Yonatan Landau SOM ’15, codirector of the competition.

Szeto said that she was extremely impressed with the quality of the presentations and highlighted the NYU Stern team’s presentation, which modeled 20 scenarios based on different combinations of carbon prices and oil price shocks.

Organizers of the event said that it was a success more because of the conversations that were generated than the competition itself.

Helen Wang ’15 said she attended the conference because she wanted affirmation that a portfolio can remain diverse and thrive immediately post-divestment.

Landau was impressed not only by the quality of the presentations, but also by the conversations among audience members.

“It was amazing to hear senior fund managers from Goldman Sachs, state pension funds [and] leading investment advisory firms basically agree that divestment is both a powerful tool for communication and, increasingly, a prudent financial decision,” he said.

In light of the positive feedback from the investment community, Yonavjak added that the competition may become an annual event.

“The competition may not always be about low carbon, but we want to keep the conversation going about responsible investing issues that the investment community is discussing at the moment,” she said.

Besides the student-led presentations, the conference also featured Yale economics professor Kenneth Gillingham and Peter Knight, founding partner and president of Generation Investment Management, as part of the discussion about low-carbon investing.

The NYU Stern team was awarded $10,000 as part of their first place prize in the competition.

Fmr. NSA head talks surveillance

BY JED FINLEY CONTRIBUTING REPORTER On Friday, the William F. Buckley Jr. Program hosted its fourth annual conference honoring the 50th anniversary of James Burnham’s book “Suicide of the West” — which argues that the spread of liberalism is causing the downfall of Western societies.

The Buckley Program held three panels that afternoon, followed by a gala featuring former CIA and NSA director Michael Hayden that drew roughly 200 people. In his keynote speech, Hayden said that the debate surrounding the NSA’s surveillance is not an argument between positions of right and wrong. It is a balancing act of fundamental American values, he said.

“When these debates happen in our society, there is a default option where we talk about these things in terms of the forces of light and the forces of darkness,” Hayden said.

“What we are debating here in the United States is not good versus evil — it’s good versus good. We are attempting to balance two things that are virtues: our liberty and our security.”

Hayden said controversial NSA surveillance programs, such as those that mandated seizures of phone data and information from Americans, were undertaken with three considerations in mind: lawfulness, technological feasibility and effectiveness. Only when a proposed action on the part of the NSA meets these three conditions, he added, does the agency proceed with the action.

Hayden said that in his time at the CIA he found a fourth condition that was not considered by the NSA in its deliberation prior to implementing the NSA’s surveillance program: political feasibility.

Hayden also said in his speech that there is the presence of a singular U.S. perspective on foreign policy that has emerged since the Bush and Obama administrations. Because of both presidents’ consistent focus on national security and targeting

of terrorist activities, leaders in the rest of the world have come to recognize that U.S. foreign policy is now distinctive of American society and public opinion.

Caitlyn Walsh ’18 said she expected Hayden to be a stern figure, but she was pleasantly surprised by his congeniality and ability to connect to his audience.

“He was very balanced and honest in his concerns about American exceptionalism and the similarities between the foreign policy of Bush and Obama,” Walsh said.

Amalia Halikias ’15, a Buckley Program student fellow, said that every year she is surprised by the amount of support the Buckley Program receives and that she was impressed by Hayden’s accomplishments.

The afternoon panels fielded voices from the son of the honored author James Burnham to the editor of the Wall Street Journal’s opinion website, James Taranto, to the editor and principal author of the Forbes blog on health care policy and entitlement reform Avik Roy. The three panels tackled hydraulic fracturing, the recent Russian expansion into Ukraine and U.S. intervention in the Middle East.

The third panel discussed the “The Drift of US Foreign Policy and the Challenges to Western Survival,” featuring Fox News national security analyst Kathleen McFarland, journalist James Kirchick ’06 and author and prominent critic of Islam Ibn Warraq. McFarland said that utilizing America’s energy resources through fracking holds the greatest potential for creating millions of jobs in the U.S. and eliminating foreign powers’ grip on the energy industry.

In his discussion on U.S. tensions with Russia, Kirchick said that the former Cold War adversary is again on the move and its people are being manipulated by government lies and propaganda.

Warraq said the threat of militant Islamists in the Middle East is not the result of concepts of western imperialism or U.S. intervention.

Instead, groups like the Islamic State

are motivated by the fundamental underpinnings of their interpretation of Islam.

“I think the annual Buckley conference is an excellent way to navigate the salient questions in contemporary American politics,” Josh Altman ’17, membership director for the Buckley Program, said. “It’s great that the Buckley Program is able to bring together such a diverse group of people with different angles to address these pertinent questions.”

The Buckley Program published the second paperback edition of Burnham’s “Suicide of the West” in conjunction with Encounter Books.

The book has been out of print since 1985.

FROM THE FRONT

“The art of medicine consists in amusing the patient while nature cures the disease.”

VOLTAIRE FRENCH ENLIGHTENMENT WRITER

Med school faculty skeptical of gender task force TASK FORCE FROM PAGE 1 responding negatively, agreed with Steitz, noting that the school does not need another committee but rather a leader who is willing to change the school’s climate.

According to School of Medicine Dean Robert Alpern, the lateness of the task force’s first meeting had nothing to do with a lack of enthusiasm for its mission, but was rather due to the hectic schedules of the individuals involved.

Alpern added that the administration was made aware of the Times’s investigation in the week prior to the article’s publication. Still, he said it was a “total coincidence that the first meeting was the Monday after the article was printed by the Times.”

Eleven of 13 faculty members interviewed raised concerns about the task force’s objectivity. Though eight committee members are female, all but two of the 12 were appointed to positions — including chiefs, associate deans, chairs and directors — by the medical school administration.

“Our task force seems to feature a lot of the same people the University has already appointed. Is it really objective or are there favorites?” said another medical school faculty member, who asked to remain anonymous due to fears of retaliation by the administration.

Despite the lack of confidence in the task force expressed by multiple faculty members, cardiology professor Steven Wolfson said he thinks the task force is making a serious effort to improve the climate for women at the medical school.

Alpern said that one of the criteria for being a task force member is the ability to think independently, but the first

anonymous source said that a large number of outspoken faculty who have worked on gender equity in the past were left out. Alpern said he thinks the 12 individuals selected are the best for the job.

Earlier last week, the Yale Diversity Summit Report of Discussions and Recommendations — produced in February 2014 by an ad-hoc committee that assessed the state of diversity in all areas of the University — was released by University President Peter Salovey to all Yale faculty.

Faculty members interviewed said they were unsure of why it took nine months for the report to be released, and the first anonymous source said there are other reports that are being kept from the Gender Equity Task Force. For instance, the individual said that the Yale Medical School Salary Committee — established to examine wage disparities between genders — made its statistical findings available to the administration, but not to the task force.

Bockenstedt would not comment on the direction of the task force beyond referring to the task force’s website, which outlines its plans to review 11 reports spanning from 1999 to 2014. The website does not say anything about what happened at the Task Force’s first meeting. All other committee members either declined or could not be reached for comment.

According to the Diversity Summit Report, 36.5 percent of the ladder faculty at the School of Medicine are female. The report contained 16 recommendations, the last of which was to disseminate the results of the Yale Diversity Summit.

The Yale School of Medicine’s Gender Equity Task Force continues to remain silent about its plans moving forward.

Seven new businesses to open around Yale UP FROM PAGE 1 evening for all seven businesses on Nov. 25, when Yale students are on Thanksgiving break.

“We’re very thoughtful about making sure throughout the districts that we have a good mix and blend of tenants. And that’s across different product offerings, across different price points,” said Lauren Zucker, assistant director for New Haven and state affairs. “We’re a very diverse community, so we want to have something that appeals to people from all different backgrounds and pocketbooks and the like.”

Barbour, an upscale British clothing store, and Lou Lou, an accessories store — two of the other businesses slated to set up shop in the Elm City — will join Kiko Milano and DNA on Broadway. Joining the retail offerings on Chapel Street are the Extra Virgin Oil Store, a handcrafted olive oil store, and Harvest, a selfproclaimed “farm to table” restaurant. Tarry Lodge, the Italian restaurant and pizzeria located on Park Street next to Box 63, will also host a grand opening, even though it opened for business earlier this month.

Mayor Toni Harp, in conjunction with UP, will officiate the midday celebratory openings.

Both Zucker and Bruce Alexander ’65, vice president for New Haven and state affairs, stressed that the main reason for opening several businesses in a short period of time was to ensure the stores could open their doors before holiday shopping — the time of year when businesses conduct the majority of their transactions.

UP spent extensive time deciding which retailers to put at these locations, including the coveted location at the corner of York and Broadway.

Zucker said that because of 1 Broadway’s space as a prominent corner in UP’s portolio, the criteria for the search were not only to find something unique, but also a retailer that would draw both outside shoppers and residents alike to downtown. Zucker said that, through extensive surveys

at events like College Nights — evenings of discounted shopping, free food and live music in the Broadway Shopping District — the Office of New Haven and State Affairs found that many students believe that New Haven does not have a reliable place to buy cosmetics. This common response, along with the prospect that New Haven would be the first U.S. city outside of Europe to house a Kiko Milano, was what ultimately drew UP towards the cosmetics store, according to Zucker.

But after the University announced the two new tenants for 1 Broadway, some students expressed dissatisfaction, noting

that they would have preferred to see a drugstore or a late-night diner.

“We certainly want to consider Yale students as part of the shopping community that we’re serving, and Kiko is a great example of that because student focus groups always say that they can’t find cosmetics, and we had to make a little operation in the bookstore just to try and satisfy that need before Kiko came along,” Alexander said. “But the Broadway shopping area cannot be successful if we rely on just the Yale community to support it.”

Alexander said that, when he first came to New Haven, Broad-

way was a collection of barbershops, liquor stores and vacancies. He stressed that the reason the area is so different now is because it attracts enough shoppers to keep it alive and vital.

Michael Morand ’87 DIV ’93 added he believes New Haven’s retail mix is “the best it’s been in decades,” saying that the new businesses will create even greater traffic for existing businesses. Former Mayor John DeStefano said that although he has no idea what student retail preferences are, he thinks that business for retailers downtown is largely dependent on local residential traffic.

“It’s not a regional shopping center,” DeStefano said.

Stephen Clemente, owner of the Extra Virgin Oil Store, added that his olive oil store that opened in Mystic, Connecticut three years ago attracts a fair number of undergraduate students from that area and expects to see a large number of Yale students shopping at the New Haven location.

Clemente said that he expects to see a wide range of clientele, although the majority of his customers are what he calls “discriminating food buyers.”

Because of the somewhat limited shopping needs of the Yale population, as well as the

extended periods of time when students are absent from campus, UP must also cater to a diverse city population and those visiting from out of town to consistently drive traffic to businesses downtown.

“There’s a perspective that says every space should somehow be measured by how it serves Yale students, and that just will not create a successful collection of retails shops there,” Alexander said. “And, so we need a successful shopping area that will appeal to a wider community.”

Bulldogs bite back vs. Tigers FOOTBALL

DANIELA BRIGHENTI/CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER

Twenty unanswered points in the first and second quarters proved too much for Princeton to handle.

BY GREG CAMERON STAFF REPORTER In yet another high-scoring matchup at the Yale Bowl, the Yale football team set itself up with a chance to secure a share of the Ivy League title by defeating Princeton 44–30. The win is the Bulldogs’ first victory over the Tigers since 2011.

With the win over the Ivy League preseason favorite, the Elis (8–1, 5–1 Ivy) will share the Ancient Eight championship with currently undefeated Harvard, and possibly Dartmouth, under one condition — if they topple the Crimson in Cambridge next Saturday.

“It was a great team effort,” head coach Tony Reno said.

GameDay, meet “The Game”

BY GREG CAMERON AND ASHLEY WU STAFF REPORTERS Next Saturday morning, the most-watched sports broadcasting channel in the country will focus its attention on a historic Yale football matchup.

After weeks of speculation, ESPN announced yesterday that its popular college football pregame show, College GameDay, will head to Cambridge, Massachusetts, for the 131st edition of the Yale-Harvard football game.

The matchup will mark just the second appearance of College GameDay at an Ivy League school since the show first aired in 1987.

“People do not get to watch a lot of Ivy League sports on TV, so the GameDay decision is definitely out of the ordinary,” tight end Sebastian Little ’16 said. “It’s awesome [Yale and Harvard] have been given the opportunity to represent Ivy League athletics as a whole.”

Associate director of athletics sports publicity Steve Conn added that the decision is a testament to the success and tradition of the Yale and Harvard football programs.

GameDay is a three-hour-long show hosted by ESPN personalities Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, Lee Corso, David Pollack and former Heisman Trophy winner Desmond Howard.

“Offensively, I thought our guys controlled the game on the ground, especially in the second half.”

Princeton (5–4, 4–2 Ivy), a team that also needed a win to remain in Ivy contention, jumped out to an initial lead thanks to scoring contributions from its pair of quarterbacks, Conner Michelsen and Quinn Epperly,

as well as an early interception thrown by quarterback Morgan Roberts ’16.

But Yale snapped Princeton’s momentum with a blocked punt for a touchdown, eventually jumpstarting the Elis’ offense. In the latter three quarters, the Bulldogs outscored the Tigers 34–16, taking home a victory in the Yale seniors’ final home game.

Roberts more than made up for the error, as he finished with a career-high 405 passing yards and a pair of touchdown passes against what has become the worst pass defense in the Ivy League this season. “[The problem] was just big plays,” said Princeton defensive back Matt Arends, who picked off Roberts’ pass. “That’s what’s

happened all season, and that’s what we have to work on.”

Arends added that the Tigers, who had allowed just 87.9 rushing yards per game entering Saturday’s contest, did a solid job defending against Yale’s rushing attack. But against a running back like Tyler Varga ’15, eviSEE FOOTBALL PAGE B3

Harvard clinches share of Ivy crown

BY MAYA SWEEDLER CONTRIBUTING REPORTER With its 34–24 win against a struggling 1–7 Penn squad, the Harvard football team clinched a share of its second consecutive Ivy League championship and dampened the Quakers’ goodbye to longtime head coach Al Bagnoli.

“Today, [Penn] played like a team that expected to win,” Harvard head coach

Tim Murphy said. “They gave us all we could handle and more.”

The Quakers (1–8, 1–5 Ivy) gave the visiting Crimson everything they had, surprising the undefeated Cantabs (9–0, 7–0 Ivy) by taking a one-score lead into the fourth quarter. Harvard’s secondranked offense looked shaken at times, with junior quarterback Scott Hosch under center in place of injured senior Conner Hempel.

Hempel’s back injury kept him out earlier in the year, but he returned to action against Princeton on Oct. 25. Harvard won 49–7, but Hempel injured his shoulder in the following game against Dartmouth. He has not played since Nov. 1.

In his place, Hosch threw two interceptions in the first quarter against SEE HARVARD PAGE B3

There are so many firsts, so many things that happened in Yale-Harvard.

STEVE CONN Yale Athletics The show is located on the campus of a notable game each week, chosen and announced during the weekend prior to the game.

For Ivy League fans, there is no question that the matchup on Saturday will be notable, as this year’s playing of The Game will be crucial in determining the Ivy League standings.

“I’ve always seemed to have my best performances when I’m under the most pressure.” AARON RODGERS NFL LEGEND

Bulldogs fall in double OT M. BASKETBALL FROM PAGE B4 and second halves.

Still, the box score revealed multiple bright spots for the Elis, such as Duren’s 26 points, which matched his regular season career-high, Sears’s double-double, and unexpected but welcome contributions from Montague and guard Khaliq Ghani ’16.

Ghani’s 13 points in eight minutes were especially noteworthy considering he played 21 minutes in total last year, scoring only four points in his seven games played. His bump in playing time seemed to come as a result of guard Nick Victor ’16 being inactive due to a PCL injury that will keep him sidelined for three to four weeks.

“Khaliq has done a great job in practice at working hard at making himself better,” Jones said. “He did a really good job to get himself stronger, and we expect him to help us going forward.”

But the most glaring numbers

without question were found under team rebounding. Quinnipiac proved why it was the No. 1 team in the nation a year ago in rebounding as they snatched 54 rebounds compared to Yale’s 38.

“We were exposed rebounding the ball. That’s something we put our hat on,” Jones said of his team that finished atop the Ivy League in rebounding margin last season.

Friday night’s -16 rebounding margin for Yale is four rebounds worse than in any game the Elis played last year.

And when the Bulldogs defeated the Bobcats last March in the first round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament, the margin was just -10. More importantly, Yale allowed 13 offensive rebounds in the tournament thriller as compared to 22 on Friday night.

“It was tough … We didn’t lose that game in overtime,” Duren said. “We lost it in the first and second half, when we weren’t rebounding.”

That combination of inabil-

ity to effectively hit the boards and the play of Quinnipiac stars Drame and guard Zaid Hearst — who put up a career-high 34 points and 11 rebounds — were enough to keep the Bulldogs winless for at least a couple more days.

Quinnipiac head coach Tom Moore credited the play of Hearst, but not just for his remarkable night on the offensive end.

“I thought Hearst obviously was great on both ends. Duren has 19 at halftime, and we put [Hearst] on [Duren] in the second half, and he gets seven,” Moore said. “I think this win will look better and better as the season goes along because I think that Yale team is going to win a whole, whole lot of games.”

Quinnipiac also learned from its mistakes back in March, most notably in terms of defending Montague. In just 15 minutes of action in Yale’s tournament win, Montague knocked down three of four three-point attempts as a major spark plug off the bench.

With Montague in the starting lineup on Friday, the speedy Chandler was within arm’s reach of Montague all night, limiting him to just three threepoint attempts in 44 minutes of playing time.

The Bulldogs had the weekend to shake off the disappointing result and now have their collective attention turned towards tonight’s home-opener against Division-III opponent, Newbury College (1–1, 0–0 NECC).

Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. at John J. Lee Amphitheater. It will be the first game of the Men Against Breast Cancer Classic.

Tim Taylor Award for the Most Valuable Player of the Harvard-Yale matchup. The award is named in honor of the former Yale head coach who spent 28 years at the helm of the men’s ice hockey team.

“I think it’s really special because it’s the Tim Taylor award,” Lyon said. “That’s the thing that’s most humbling to me because he’s a Yale legend.”

With these two wins, Yale finds itself in a three-way tie with Colgate and Dartmouth for fifth in the ECAC. Fallen, who had an assist in addition to his goal on Friday, remarked that the team has improved rapidly over the past few games.

“I think we just need to keep forming our identity as a team and this weekend was a good testament to that,” Fallen said.

The team will be back on the road next weekend for games against Cornell and Colgate.

The Bulldogs swept the weekend for the first time this season, beating Harvard 2–1 and Dartmouth 4–1.

Yale sweeps Penn, Princeton nick ’15 led the Bulldogs’ defense, contributing 24 and 21 digs, respectively.

Rudnick, who currently has the second-most digs in Yale history, moved up to 12th-most digs in Ivy League history with 1,496 career digs after the match.

“I felt we really upped our level and worked for that win together,” Rogers said. “That was truly a team effort.”

The next day, Johnson again led the team with 15 kills against Penn, while Rudnick contributed 23 digs. Middle blocker Jesse Ebner ’16 put up four blocks, reducing Penn’s hitting percentage to just 0.101 compared to Yale’s 0.267. With the championship, the class of 2015 becomes the second consecutive Yale class to win an Ivy championship in every year it spent on campus.

Johnson noted that the team managed to overcome a significant amount of adversity in terms of injuries and road travel in its quest for another title.

“It’s so incredible for our team and our program,” Johnson said. “The fact that we were able to pull through and come out and win an Ivy League championship just speaks so much to the character of our team.”

The tie between Harvard and Yale will be broken in a one-match playoff. In 2004, the last time the Crimson won the Ivy League championship, they shared the crown with Yale, Penn

and Cornell. That time, Yale emerged victorious from the four-way playoff.

All of the players interviewed noted that the team looks forward to another chance to defeat the Crimson and that the Bulldogs will view the game as just another regular-season match.

“We’re going to go in for film, we’re going to scout, we’re going to practice,” Crawford said. “We’re just going to keep our normal routine and keep it as game-like as possible.”

Under head coach Erin Appleman, the Bulldogs have made five NCAA tournament appearances. Most recently, in 2013, they lost in the first round to Utah.

The playoff will take place in Cambridge on Friday at 7 p.m.

later with its first goal of the game, put into the net by forward Courtney Pensavalle ’18.

Yale never returned from the deficit, falling to the Big Red 6–2. The Bulldogs only took 12 shots the entire game, compared to Cornell’s 32.

Yale accrued nine penalties in the game, allowing three successful power-play goals.

“With a team with so much offensive talent like Cornell, they are bound to convert these opportunities into goals,” Leonoff said. “We definitely learned the hard way that we need to be disciplined and play the stronger teams five-on-five as much as possible.”

Cornell is among one of Yale’s toughest opponents, in part because it has two members who play for the Canadian national team. The Big Red, who were winless heading into last weekend, were playing what Martini called “desperate hockey,” as they felt the need to prove themselves as major conference contenders.

This Friday, the Bulldogs will face Sacred Heart at home. The Elis defeated the Pioneers 10–2 in a preseason scrimmage in mid-October.

According to Martini, Yale is hoping to focus on perfect

execution and other details that cannot be addressed against stronger opponents, like Cornell for instance.

The Elis’ second game of the break will be a rare Tuesday night match against No. 1 Boston College. In addition to their rank, the Eagles have also just seen the return of five members who played as part of the U.S. national team at the Four Nations Cup. “They are a tremendously talented team,” Martini said.

“But if we execute our systems properly and work hard, it is definitely a game that we can win.”

The team is positive about its potential, though. According to Kennedy, as long as they show up ready to play 60 minutes of hockey and don’t take any shifts off, there is nothing they need to change in order to beat Boston College.

Roberts sets career-high in big Ivy win

Get up — it’s GameDay GAME DAY FROM PAGE B1 would give the Bulldogs (8–1, 5–1) a share of the Ivy title and snap a seven-game losing streak at the hands of the Cantabs.

“Both teams are just fun to watch,” Little said. “They score points [and] play sound defense, and both have a shot at the Ivy League title.”

Andrew Sobotka ’15, co-founder and former president of The Whaling Crew, a student fan group, added that a lack of significant matchups in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision helped the Ivy League’s case for being the GameDay site.

Still, Yale-Harvard beat out other potential rivalry matchups such as UCLA-USC, which has major implications in the Pac-12 South Division, as well as the 150th playing of LafayetteLehigh, a Football Championship Subdivision contest that is being played at Yankee Stadium.

“I think that The Game is probably always in GameDay’s back pocket, but they’d only come if the Ivy Championship was somehow at stake,” Sobotka said. “The confluence of those two things — a mediocre FBS lineup and the stakes of this year’s version of The Game — I think, created a perfect opportunity for ESPN.” However, many college football fans on social media expressed disappointment with the decision to have an Ivy League school host a show whose analysts almost exclusively discuss top FBS programs.

Though the Yale and Harvard squads may feature fewer NFL prospects, and may be of less national prominence, GameDay contributors will have the opportunity to talk about the historical significance of one of the oldest college football rivalries in the nation.

“There are too many people who consider themselves college football aficionados who know very little about the origins of the game, and of the college game,” Conn said. “There are so many firsts, so many things that happened in Yale-Harvard. It’s kind of a must-do at some point.”

ESPN will position the GameDay set on the Dillon Quad, just outside Harvard Stadium in Allston, Massachusetts. Tapings for the show will take place both on

FOOTBALL FROM PAGE B1 dently that does not mean much.

Using his speed and outstanding blocking more often than his ability to punish defenders in this game, Varga scored three of Yale’s five touchdowns — two on the ground and one through the air — and also tallied 137 rushing yards on 26 carries.

It was his eighth game this season of triple-digit yardage in rushing. The only time Varga failed to top 100 yards was at Cornell, when he was taken out after the first half with 83 yards in a 51–13 blowout. “[Princeton is] a big pressure team, and they bring a lot of hats to the box,” Reno said. “Our offensive line did a really nice job, as the game went on, of picking those things up and creating new plays.”

Varga got the ball on six of Yale’s first 10 plays, setting up a seven-yard touchdown connection between Roberts and wide receiver Robert Clemons ’17 to tie the score at seven early in the first quarter.

Though Varga scored three times in the contest — on rushes of 30 and six yards, and a reception for 13 — the Elis utilized the pass to move the ball more so than they have done in previous games.

Roberts tied a season-high with 42 attempted passes, largely due to the simple fact that the aerial attack was working well with all of the Elis’ weapons, including previously injured tight ends Sebastian Little ’16 and Stephen Buric ’16, on display.

Wide receiver Grant Wallace ’15 finished another exceptional performance with 10 catches for 149 yards, putting the Ivy League receiving leader over 1,000 yards on the season.

Captain Deon Randall ’15, meanwhile, also put up triple digits with 112 yards. Randall, Wallace, Clemons and receiver Nick LaTesta ’15 all caught deep passes for more than 25 yards.

But that passing offense did not get going in earnest until the blocked punt by defensive end Marty Moesta ’17 in the second quarter. Linebacker Jaeden Graham ’18 dove on the loose pigskin in the end zone to score seven points and retaliate for the touchdown the Tigers registered earlier on a Yale interception.

“It was something we saw on film early in the week, something that we

Friday and Saturday mornings. Fans are invited to both tapings.

The show is known for the tailgating atmosphere it captures at its weekly site, as well as amusing signs that fans in the area hold behind the ESPN hosts and analysts.

“I think the atmosphere at The Game is always incredible and this year, GameDay or no GameDay, will be no different,” Sobotka said. “I fully expect Yalies to come up with some great signs to put in the background of the GameDay set, though.”

Many assumed that the Yale-Army game, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Yale Bowl, would be Yale fans’ best shot at participating in GameDay this season when producer Lee Fitting confirmed that the game was on the “short list” of potential matchups.

But ESPN chose instead to visit Columbia, South Carolina, for the game between Missouri and South Carolina.

Even without ESPN to witness, Yale defeated Army 49–43 in a memorable showdown that went into overtime.

Since that win, the Bulldogs have surged from a fifth-place Ivy preseason ranking to a nearly undefeated record, laying claim to the highest-gaining offense in all of Division-I football.

The Crimson was also a member of the first Ivy matchup that College GameDay visited on Nov. 16, 2002. Penn was the host, however, and crushed Harvard 44–9 en route to an undefeated Ivy finish that season.

Before the announcement, Yale captain Deon Randall ’15 noted that having College GameDay in attendance would not affect the team’s preparation or mindset. But it would, he said, certainly be an exciting opportunity.

“It’d be awesome to have College GameDay there, to get a couple fans, for us to play on TV,” Randall said. “It’d definitely show that people have respect for Ivy League football. We’d love to have them.”

GameDay will start at 9 a.m. on ESPN, and kickoff for the football game is scheduled for 12:30 p.m.

Quarterback Morgan Roberts ’16 threw for 405 yards, seventh-best in Yale history, and a pair of touchdowns. thought we could try to take advantage of on their punting team,” Moesta said.

“We went out there with Jaeden [Graham] on my right and Everett Johnson [’15] on my left … I was able to get skinny through the hole and get my hand on the ball.”

The punt block also began a scoring drought for the Tigers, who took a 14–7 lead early on but allowed the Bulldogs 20 unanswered points in the middle of the first half.

Epperly was a central figure in Princeton’s offense with three touchdowns, but not because of his throwing arm for which he garnered Ivy League fame last year — all three scores were on the ground.

The 2013 Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year traded time behind center with Michelsen, who has taken over the majority of passing duties for Princeton this season. They were both on the field for much of the game, however, as each lined up in the slot or as a running back on many plays.

“Princeton presents you with a lot of different formations and a lot of different ways to attack you,” Reno said.

Epperly was especially success-

ful on third-and-short situations, on which a direct snap play almost guaranteed the Tigers positive yardage on every play.

But in the end, strong coverage downfield, as well as three sacks by Yale defenders, proved to be the difference. Princeton, meanwhile, did not sack Roberts a single time despite leading the Ancient Eight in sacks entering the matchup.

“It was a great defensive win,” Roberts said. “You look at a 44–30 game, and you might not say it’s a defensive win, but those guys went out of their minds today.”

Yale will seek an Ivy League title next Saturday at Harvard. Kickoff is at 12:30 p.m.

Crimson remains unbeaten

KEN YANAGISAWA/PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR

Harvard is undefeated this season, boasting a 9–0 record (6–0 Ivy).

HARVARD FROM PAGE B1 Penn, but ultimately rebounded to complete 65 percent of his passes for 174 yards and a touchdown.

The Crimson secondary, best in the Ivy League in passing yards allowed, ceded 212 yards to Penn’s passers, including several long plays. Sophomore quarterback Alek Torgersen hit wide receivers Spencer Kulscar and Connor Scott for 22 yards and Justin Watson for 25 yards.

“We knew there were holes in their defense we needed to exploit, in their secondary where we knew we could pass on them,” Torgersen said.

The true difference in the

game was Harvard running back Paul Stanton Jr., whose 279 allpurpose yards and three scores carried the day. Stanton’s first rush from scrimmage, on Harvard’s second play of the game, was a 42-yard touchdown. He later added touchdowns from 75 and 14 yards out en route to running for the third-most yards in Harvard’s history.

Bagnoli called these long rushes “home runs” and said that Penn made too many missteps.

“We knew we had to play well for 60 minutes, but we made a couple too many mistakes,” Bagnoli said. “We left some points on the field. Against a good team, you can’t do that.”

Two missed field goals cost the Quakers. Although they had more passing yards, forced more turnovers and entered the red zone twice as often as Harvard, Penn could not quite pull off the upset.

We left some points on the field. Against a good team, you can’t do that.

AL BAGNOLI Penn Head Coach The Penn offense, however, did its part. Harvard allowed

more than 18 points for the first time this season.

In the end, the Quakers’ defense was the team’s undoing.

The Cantabs rushed for 86 yards and scored 17 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to preserve its perfect record, as well as its 10-game conference winning streak dating back to last year.

Murphy attributed Harvard’s success this season to players stepping up and performing when they needed to.

The Harvard-Penn matchup marked Bagnoli’s final home game at Franklin Field. The legendary coach was honored both before the game and at halftime.

Despite the disappointing season, he remained upbeat about

both the game and the program.

“We’ve been reasonably successful,” Bagnoli said. “Very few things have gone according to script. It’s been one of those weird years.”

Murphy was complimentary of his Pennsylvanian counterpart, crediting his success and his longevity.

Bagnoli was on the Quaker sideline for 23 seasons, nine of which culminated in outright Ivy League titles. He is the winningest coach in school history, and his winning percentage of 0.698 is behind only Murphy’s 0.703 among active Ivy League coaches. “[Bagnoli is] the standard by which all other coaches will

be compared to in this league,” Murphy said.

Murphy and the Crimson face Yale on Nov. 22 for the 131st rendition of The Game. A Harvard win guarantees an outright Ivy League championship, while a Yale win would ensure the Bulldogs get their first share of the title since 2006.

Bulldogs sweep Dartmouth, Harvard

BY ALEX WALKER STAFF REPORTER Five different Bulldogs put pucks in the back of the net as the men’s ice hockey team powered its way to its first two conference victories on Friday and Saturday.

The Bulldogs (3–1–2, 2–1–1 ECAC) faced off against Dartmouth (2–2–1, 2–2–1) on the road on Friday night and came away with a decisive 4–1 victory. Forward Mike Doherty ’17 led the charge with a redirection past Big Green goaltender James Kruger early in the first period. Yale scored again early in the second period off a wristshot by forward Frankie DiChiara ’17, but Dartmouth struck back a few minutes later. However, a power play goal from both captain Tommy Fallen ’15 and from forward Ryan Hitchcock ’18 put the game away for good.

The Elis outshot the Big Green with 30 attempts on net to Dartmouth’s 27, while goaltender Alex Lyon ’17 had 26 saves on the night.

Yale was also two for five on power plays and the team’s shorthanded defense did not allow a single Dartmouth goal on four Big Green power play opportunities.

Hitchcock, whose goal on Friday was the first of his college career, noted that a Bulldog team that struggled to find its rhythm last week did so against Dartmouth.

“I think we had a lot more

chemistry and worked a lot smarter,” Hitchcock said. “We played a really good team game.”

I think it’s really special because it’s the Tim Taylor award. That’s the thing that’s most humbling to me because he’s a Yale legend.

ALEX LYON ’17 The next night the Bulldogs traveled to Boston where they handed Harvard (3–1–2, 2–1– 2) its first conference loss. The 2–1 Yale victory began with two scoreless periods before defenseman Ryan Obuchowski ’16 put one in the back of the net off of a drop pass from Doherty early in the third. It wasn’t until the final minute of play in the game that the Doherty scored on an empty Crimson net, and the last-ditch effort from Harvard to pull the keeper failed with 17 seconds left.

Both teams were relatively equal in shots on goal — Yale had 35 to Harvard’s 34 — but it was Lyon who made the difference on the defensive end. Lyon, who had 33 saves on Saturday, received the SEE MEN’S HOCKEY PAGE B2

Elis make it five in a row

Yale falls in double overtime thriller

BY JAMES BADAS STAFF REPORTER Even in the most thrilling of basketball matchups, outcomes are often determined by the fundamentals.

Jesse Ebner ’16 currently has a 0.287 hit percentage in the Ivy League this season.

BY ERIN WANG AND ALEX WALKER CONTRIBUTING REPORTERS The Yale volleyball team continued its unprecedented run of dominance this weekend, capturing its fifth straight Ivy League championship after defeating both Princeton and Penn.

VOLLEYBALL On Friday, the Elis (16–7, 12–2 Ivy) beat the Tigers (14–10, 9–5) in four sets with

scores of 25–21, 25–22, 24–26 and 25–21.

The next night, they dismantled the Quakers (8–17, 5–9) in straight sets 25–17, 25–20 and 25–15 to clinch the championship. Yale shares the title with Harvard this year, and the two squads will face off this Friday in Cambridge to determine who will represent the Ivy League in the NCAA tournament on Dec. 18 and 20.

Outside hitter and captain Mollie Rogers ’15, who lost only five matches out of 56 in Ivy League play over the course of her Yale career, remarked on the importance of a

fifth consecutive championship.

“This means so much for our program.

Winning it as a senior is also great because you get to go out with a win,” Rogers said.

“We did work pretty hard to get here and it definitely feels good to close it out right.”

In the Princeton match, Yale hit 0.240 to the Tigers’ 0.177. Rogers recorded a careerhigh 28 kills while setter Kelsey Crawford ’18 posted a career-best 54 assists. Setter Kelly Johnson ’16 and libero Maddie RudSEE VOLLEYBALL PAGE B2

The Yale men’s basketball team was reminded of that Friday night, falling to its crosstown rival, Quinnipiac, 88–85 in double overtime as part of the sixth annual Connecticut 6 Classic.

With an opening-season win just moments away, the Bulldogs (0–1, 0–0 Ivy) had a straightforward scenario facing them: Ahead by two with 42 seconds remaining in regulation, Yale needed to force a stop and limit the Bobcats to only one shot on the possession.

Yale made good on the first condition, as Quinnipiac (1–0, 0–0 MAAC) point guard Kasim Chandler misfired on a contested, mid-range jumper from the right wing.

As for the second condition, Yale faltered. The Bulldogs were unable to secure the weakside rebound, allowing Ousmane Drame to grab one of his 15 rebounds on the night and convert on a lay-in despite a foul to square things up at 67-apiece — he missed the ensuing free throw attempt — which ultimately resulted in overtime.

Yale certainly still had its chances to pull off the victory on Quinnipiac’s home court in each of the overtime periods, but its best opportunity was that sequence of events at the end of regulation.

“The score is 65–67, and all we need to do is get a stop and we win the game,” head coach James Jones said. “We end up not only not getting a stop, we give up an offensive rebound and a put back and an and-one. We could have lost the game right there.”

In the first overtime, Quinnipiac carried the momentum over from extending the game into a quick start, opening with a 7–1 run.

With point guard Javier Duren ’15 having just fouled out — a disappointing conclusion to a career game for Yale’s floor general — it was guard Jack Montague ’16 who stepped up and drilled a clutch three-pointer with just 14 seconds left, giving Quinnipiac a taste of its own medicine and forcing a second overtime.

But without Duren, the Bulldogs didn’t have the firepower to come out victorious, despite forward Justin Sears ’16 scoring six of his 23 total points in the final 1:33 of the game. Sears’s production in crunch time was a welcome sight for the Elis as he suffered from a scoreless drought of over 30 minutes between the first SEE MEN’S BASKETBALL PAGE B2

Yale splits on the road

BY HOPE ALLCHIN CONTRIBUTING REPORTER Despite improved play, the Yale women’s hockey team remains at 0.500 after a weekend split on the road.

WOMEN’S HOCKEY The Bulldogs (3–3–1, 1–3–0 ECAC) had their first shutout of the season on Friday, preventing Colgate (3–8–0, 1–3) from getting the puck in the net. However, the Elis suffered a 6–2 defeat the following day against the first fellow Ivy in their schedule, Cornell (2–4–0, 2–2–0).

“Getting a shutout was the product of what we have been working on by keeping the play in the offensive zone, blocking shocks and overall just limiting shots [allowed],” captain Aurora Kennedy said ’15.

Yale’s matchup against the Raiders was also the Elis’ first conference victory. According to defender Kate Martini ’16, Colgate was a team that the Bulldogs could not afford to lose to if they were hoping for postseason success.

Yale scored three goals throughout the first and second periods, ushering in a scoreless final period that secured the win.

While the offense was on point, it was goalie Jaimie Leonoff ’15 who had the most impressive game. Leonoff had 18 saves in the game and 188 so far this season.

It is her skill and her 0.913 saving percentage that propels the team, players said.

“Jaimie Leonoff played an amazing game,” Martini said, “We didn’t play as well as we were hoping to in the first period, and Jaimie made some key saves.”

This was Colgate’s first shut-

out loss of the season. Yale limited the Raiders to just five shots in the first period and four in the third.

Leonoff also had her first assist in the game’s final goal, scored by forward Krista Yip-Chuck ’17 at the end of the second. The team had been running that play for years, Leonoff said, noting that it was nice to see the little things pay off.

“Apart from Jaimie, [the win] came down to hard work,” Martini said. “Colgate did a good job of disrupting our systems, but we were able to adjust our game and outwork them.”

It was a different story, however, when the Bulldogs faced the Big Red. Cornell had already scored two goals by 4:06 into the first period, although Yale answered less than 20 seconds SEE W. HOCKEY PAGE B2
