The Alpert Medical School welcomed its largest class ever this year totalling 120 students following the opening of the schools downtown facility last fall. with the building constructed in downtown Providences Knowledge District able to accommodate more students, the school matriculated 11 additional students in this years class, up from 109 in the class of 2015. The school has expanded from 310 students in 2001 to 421 students this year, according to ed wing, dean of medicine and biological sciences. The admittance of the Med Schools largest-ever class was made possible by the new facility, wing said. Admitting classes of 120 will expand the school to 480 students in the next few years, he said. Its a terrific building, wing said, adding that the schools old space in the BioMedical Center did not allow for expansion. everything in the (new) building has allowed us to provide better

education. The Med School also witnessed a surge in applications for spots in the class of 2016, with a roughly 20 percent increase from 2,825 applicants in 2011 to 3,344 applications in 2012, according to Philip Gruppuso, associate dean of medical education and professor of pediatrics. there is in general a physician shortage in the United States, Gruppuso said. he noted that the Association of American Medical Colleges has called for a substantial increase in the countrys supply of doctors and that the University is hoping to aid this goal. Gruppuso said the Med Schools expansion was part of a long-term process that occurred after administrators received permission from the Liaison Committee on Medical education, the national accrediting organization for medical degree programs. wing said administrators have nothing definite planned to expand the student body any further than 480 students. the Med / / Medical page 2

times science writer stresses clarity of ideas Occupy

Senior Staff Writer

The ignorance that we exhibit is astonishing, Cornelia Dean 69, guest lecturer in environmental studies and writer-in-residence, told a crowd that nearly filled an auditorium in the Perry and Marty Granoff Center for the Creative Arts Monday night. Dean was referring to the publics lack of basic science literacy in a talk entitled The Scientist as Source. Dean, a former science editor at the new York times, geared her talk toward students planning on becoming scientists and engineers, emphasizing the importance of communicating their

work clearly and providing them with practical advice. The country is entering an age filled with key scientific and technical issues, Dean said, citing the controversies surrounding stem cell research, designer babies and battlefield drones. The public needs to engage in discussions about these issues, but if you dont know how to talk about them, youre going to have difficulty having that kind of discussion, she said. Dean mentioned the ongoing hot debate over evolution and said the entire scientific and technical community should hang its head in shame that this conversation is even taking place.

the annenberg institute awarded Maria salciccioli Gs the first annual simmons scholarship, which covers the costs of the program.

The first annual ruth J. Simmons Urban education Policy Scholarship, a full ride to the Annenberg Institutes Urban education Policy masters program, has been awarded to Maria Salciccioli GS, a Princeton graduate with experience training teachers to adapt to new curriculums in schools in Dallas. (Salciccioli) is very passionate about urban education policy and very passionate about life chances for children who come from low-income families, said Kenneth wong, professor and chair of the Universitys department of education. All of these things really personify and take the ruth Simmons challenge down to the trenches. The award was established in April in honor of former president ruth Simmons by the Annenberg Board of overseers, wong said. Simmons was

key to enhancing the Urban education Policy masters program, wong said, and showed commitment to community service and education reform. wong headed a five-person scholarship committee, which included Annenberg faculty members and directors. The committee began its selection process by examining a pool of 85 applicants to the Urban education Policy masters program at Annenberg, wong said. he and his team identified the 30 strongest applicants eligible for financial aid, he said. The committee chose a winner based on academic record, leadership and community service, said Michael Grady, deputy director at the Annenberg Institute and committee member. Salciccioli was at the top in all three categories, wong said. Im excited, but I also feel like its a big responsibility to receive this scholarship, Salciccioli said.

one year ago, the first occupiers set up camp in Zucotti Park in new York City to protest the greed of the 1 percent, beginning a movement that quickly led to months-long encampments in major cities across the country and brought attention to issues like homelessness and the growing income disparity. Members of occupy Providence honored the movements inception with a rally beginning Sunday and lasting through Monday on the sidewalk in front of the State house. Protesters also rallied in support of the teachers union strike in Chicago and spoke out about local education issues. the rally included discussions of the movements future, teach-ins about nonviolence and a march to the rhode Island Board of Governors for higher educations office, where members protested recent decisions to fund corporate-run charter schools and diminish funding for the Department of Labor and training. A lot of media portrayal of the occupy movement is that its a dead movement, but there are still lots of passionate people dedicated to fighting for the same issues that weve been fighting for since a year ago, said Jim Daly, an event organizer.

Housing lottery revised for sophomores

The office of residential Life is adjusting the housing lottery system this year to better accommodate the needs of rising sophomores, said richard Bova, senior associate dean of residential and dining services. After the spring lottery, 260 sophomores did not know where they would be living this fall and had to be placed through summer assignment, The herald reported at the time. This year, rising sophomores will be put into a sophomore-only lottery that guarantees housing for all who apply, Bova said. In past years, sophomores have often felt disenfranchised by the second-year housing situation. By creating a special lottery and clustering sophomores in the center of campus in dorms including hegeman, Caswell and Slater halls and wriston Quadrangle, resLife hopes to create a feeling of structure and community, Bova said. A specific sophomore lottery should also take away the fear and mystery of summer assignment, he said. I felt like I had no place to go, said Gadi Cohen 15, a staff writer for The herald, after going through summer assignment this year. I felt lost, like I had been robbed of a home.

slater hall, above, is one of the dorms that will be included in the newly designed sophomore-only housing lottery this spring. I felt like we were going to all get split, said Angela ramponi 15, whose housing group is now scattered throughout Vartan Gregorian Quad. But most sophomores who went through summer assignment were happy with their placements. My group scored. They all got huge singles in new Dorm, ramponi said. The largest downside for those who go through summer assignment is that they can get separated from their peers as ramponi did. Im living with mostly juniors and seniors in singles around me, she said. You have to make a little more effort to find people. The newly designed sophomore lottery will ensure that students do not simply get what is left over after upperclassman select the best housing options, Bova said.

School hired more staff to accommodate the larger building, but they did not need to hire more faculty members, wing said, adding that the school boasts a total of 2,000 faculty members, including 600 full-time clinical faculty. The Med School revamped its curriculum but did not add additional classes or expand the size of courses. Gruppuso said the University is still considered a small medical school according to national rankings of medical degree programs by size. we had space and resources and faculty to be able to meet the needs of this number of students, he said. we were very confident this (expansion) was not going to result in any kind of erosion of the quality of the medical program. As part of its expansion, the Med School introduced a new academy model of advising and training last year, with each class divided into three academies of around 40 students in order to facilitate greater advising services and a better sense of community. each academy space provides locker and study space, designated advisers and other training services to students to help break down the student body into smaller sections. It allows us to accommodate a large

Faculty members expressed support for the new academy model, saying the system preserved quality instruction and counseling for students. I think the entire process is very deliberate and very well planned out over several years, said Julie taylor, director of clinical curriculum and an associate professor of family medicine. She added that academies were an effective strategy for providing individualized advising and training services for first-years in the midst of the Med Schools expansion. weve been able to address some of the potential risks of greater class size, like anonymity, taylor said. The Med Schools expansion has allowed for larger lecture sizes while not disrupting the facultys ability to keep small instruction groups, said Luba Dumenco, director of the pre-clinical curriculum and a lecturer in pathology and laboratory medicine. weve always had between eight and 10 students in a small group, and weve maintained that, Dumenco said, adding that more faculty members have agreed to teach small instruction groups this year to ensure the small size of those

groups remains constant. First-year medical students said they felt the schools new facilities, revamped curriculum and advising services met their needs and that they had ready access to resources. only being here for five weeks, Ive been really impressed with all the resources here, said Adam Driesman MD16, adding that he believed the Med Schools relocation helped attract better students. what was really holding Browns Med School back before was the quality of facilities, he said. According to Driesman, the academy model has allowed him to get to know classmates more in-depth, including older medical students who can provide advice on courses and careers. It really provides a home in the Med School that you can always turn to, he said. Caitlin naureckas MD16 said despite her class unprecedented size, she did not notice any shortage of available time for talking with professors. Im not concerned at all about the size of the class, she said. They have all the resources we could ever imagine needing as medical students. Anna Costello MD16 echoed naureckas feelings toward the expanded class size, saying students have received the same amount of instruction even though there are more students. She also expressed support for the academy model, comparing the process of dividing the students into the three academies to the sorting ceremony of hogwarts School in the harry Potter book series. Med School administrators and faculty members completed a self-study of the quality of the schools curriculum, facilities and services as part of a reaccreditation process in conjunction with the LCMe, which last accredited the school in 2004. The schools expansion likely facilitated a simpler accreditation process this cycle, Gruppuso said, as administrators were able to showcase the relocation from inadequate older facilities.

Committee convenes to plan 250th anniversary

By sheza atiq
Contributing Writer

campus news 3

In preparation for the Universitys 250th anniversary celebration in 2014, a steering committee has outlined goals for using the anniversary to examine both the Universitys history and future. The committee has formed seven subcommittees that will focus on to different aspects of the celebration, including community engagement, anchor events and memorabilia. The anniversary, which will mark 250 years since the 1764 signing of Browns charter, will last from spring 2014 to Commencement in 2015. The celebration will be a retrospective look at Browns history but also a prospective journey of what Browns future will look like, said ralph rosenberg 86, a member of the Corporations Board of trustees and a co-chair of the steering committee. he added that a key objective for the committee is to engage University constituents from the local Providence and rhode Island communities as well as the broader international body. The celebration will include two anchor events in the spring and fall

of 2014, which will focus on Browns external community and campus community, respectively, said russell Carey 91, executive vice president for policy and planning. As previously reported, the anniversary will also feature an academic initiative that includes a new history of the University being written by University historian Jane Lancaster PhD98, as well as a slavery and justice memorial that will be constructed according to recommendations made by the Steering Committee on Slavery and Justice. The anniversary steering committee is presently working on a budget for the celebrations that will be subject to approval by the Corporation, the Universitys highest governing body, rosenberg said. The anniversary will also present a lot of opportunities for fundraising to take place, Carey said. The University named eve ornstedt, previously the director of career and admission programs for the office of Alumni relations, as the executive director of the Universitys 250th anniversary. The 20-person committee, which is comprised of Corporation members, administration and staff, faculty and students, was formed in the spring of

2011 and has met several times since. having an individual lead up the effort was essential, said Marisa Quinn, vice president for public affairs and University relations. The committee sought individuals who have an in-depth understanding of the University, Quinn said, and selected ornstedt from a pool of over 50 applicants. ornstedt is presently transitioning from her previous position and will work full-time as executive director starting nov. 1. ornstedt also headed last years 120th anniversary celebration of women at Brown. In developing the position of executive director, the committee also sought guidance from six peer institutions, including harvard, Princeton and Yale, all of which have achieved similar milestones in their establishments history. Committee members said the milestone of 250 years is one that very few institutions have experienced and marks a significant moment for the University. I look forward to working with President (Christina) Paxson, the steering committee and members of the Brown community to make the celebration memorable, but also create content that has long-term impact, ornstedt said.

scientists reluctance to engage with the public and become politically involved, she said. Scientists and engineers need to present their work to the public, and they need to do so clearly, Dean said. Many people have negative associations with science because of early classroom experiences in which they were alternately bored or humiliated, Dean said. And often when scientists try to communicate their work to non-experts, they sound as if they are mumbling incoherent gibberish evoking that early distaste of science some people experienced in school. Dean also shared practical tips to help scientists navigate the public sphere. every concept can always be explained in simple terms, Dean said. Scientists become attached to the intricate details of their work, but sometimes its to their advantage to strip them away when explaining their findings to the public. Practice, Dean told the scientists in the crowd. Dean also emphasized the importance of paying attention to the audience. notice when the veil of incomprehension starts to fall over their eyes, she said, adding a word of caution talk about work in a way that minimizes the chance of misrepresentation.

two experts in constitutional law discussed the conflict between privacy and security in the Internet age Monday night in Salomon 101 during the first Janus Forum lecture of the semester. In a world in which cities are suffused with video surveillance networks capable of face recognition, license plates can be read by satellites, data about ones location and interests can be mined online, and robotic drones can be programmed to keep tabs on individual people, how can the U.S. legal system keep up? And how much privacy should citizens of a free society demand? these questions and more were posed by Michael Dreeben, deputy solicitor general of the United States, and Jeffrey rosen, professor of law at George washington University and legal affairs editor of the new republic. A question-and-answer session followed remarks by Dreeben and rosen. Dreeben invoked the Supreme Court case U.S. v. Jones as an example of the issues involved in interpreting the Fourth Amendment, which is meant to protect civilians from unreasonable searches and seizures, in the modern technological era. In U.S. v. Jones, the court assessed the constitutionality of tracking drug dealer Antoine Jones movements via a GPS tracker attached to the bottom of his car. the court did not find that GPS tracking is illegal under the Fourth Amendment, but instead found that it constituted trespassing because of the nature of the devices attachment to Jones car. the courts, Dreeben said, are not fully responsible for regulating governmental abuses. he also stressed the importance of the legislatures in imposing privacy regulations. Jeffrey rosen, acclaimed by legal

two constitutional law experts kicked off the Janus Forum lecture series with a debate on personal privacy and government surveillance. historian David Garrow as the nations most widely read and influential legal commentator, was next up to the podium. the Fourth Amendment does not go far enough, rosen said. In a conversation with the head of public policy at Google, rosen said he found out about the open earth project. this project, rosen said, would entail the compilation of all the worlds live video surveillance footage into one individually searchable engine. with this technology, rosen said, one could achieve 24/7 surveillance of anyone, anywhere. In an environment of constant surveillance by government and other sources, rosen warned that individual liberty would be greatly curtailed, and we would continuously feel the need to prove our innocence to the cameras. Both rosen and Dreeben said they are in favor of expanding the Fourth Amendments protection of privacy, though Dreeben urged the audience not to forget that government access to information has a positive side that sometimes, protection is a good thing, he said. Both agreed that the government must work to find a balance between respecting individual privacy on the one hand and interests of security on the other.

never say anything off the record, advised Dean, who still writes for the times just dont say it at all, because journalists have different ideas of what off the record means. Make sure any journalist interviewing you knows how to get back in touch to clarify questions. If there are errors in a story in which you are interviewed, point them out. Call or email journalists who do a good job. Such practical steps will ultimately benefit the publics perception and understanding of science, Dean said. Students who attended the talk largely agreed with Deans assertions about the need for scientists to better communicate their work and their ideas. Adam Scherlis 15 said he is planning on entering a scientific field and hopes to engage with the public about scientific issues. Deans speech gave him some concrete ideas for how best to do that, he said. Alex Durand 16, a student in Deans first-year seminar enVS 0070D: The Misuse of Scientific Information in American Life, said she agreed that scientists need to present their work in a clearer way, but added that the public needs to be better educated so they can understand it. I think its a double gap because we as a public are not given the information we need, but were also not prepared to synthesize the information, she said.

forced into jobs that they didnt love based on financial pressure. with traditional debt financing, you take out a loan, and it doesnt matter if youre doing well or not payments are the same and theres no sharing of risk, Keltner said. Most early stage businesses finance themselves with equity, and we wanted to bring a sense of equity to personal financing. The average 2010 college graduate carried $25,250 in student loan debt. This often forces recent graduates to opt for more financially-stable jobs rather than pursue their dreams, said Greg Victory, director of career services at rISD. Upstart is also unique because backers serve not only as investors but also as mentors for the graduates. Backers tend to find that it is in their best interest to mentor the graduates because they are the future of this country, Victory said. Its not a dona-

A new organization being piloted at the rhode Island School of Design this fall will help recent graduates raise capital in exchange for a percentage of their future income. Through the program, called Upstart, graduates can put the money towards starting a business, paying off student loans or other goals that will help build their career. Upstart utilizes a crowd-funding format in which users build online profiles, and backers can fund the users of their choice in increments of $1,000. The users then share up to 14.99 percent of their income with their backers for the subsequent 10 years. They can defer payments in years where they make $30,000 or less, or they can pay extra in years when they do well, according to Upstarts website.

upstart matches recent college graduates with backers, who fund the graduates projects and get a cut of the projects income over the subsequent 10 years. school participating in the pilot program. Its important for us to be at a place like rISD where theres a different student than at other universities, Keltner said. we wanted to have diversity in the early days to make it clear that this wasnt targeted to one kind of student, but useful to a wide array of students with different interests after school. The freedom Upstart gives students after graduation fits rISDs model of artrepreneurship and the innovative spirit on which it was founded, Victory said. Matt Kulp, who graduated from rISD in 2012, majored in furniture design and is the first rISD student to participate in the program. he is currently building an Upstart profile and going through the review process. Kulp said he aims to apply the ideals of european design tradition to north American home products. Potential Upstart users set their own fundraising goals, according to the website. If Kulps profile is approved by the organization, and if he raises enough money in the allotted amount of time, he will officially become an upstart. without Upstart, Id have to defer my ambitions for a few years, Kulp said. I would be looking for a job at a big tech company because I would need some sort of secure income to get my debt out of the way, and thats not something Id want to do. By investing directly in graduates, Upstart offers a freedom after graduation that is becoming increasingly rare. An artist can put a lot of time into applying for funding, but grants are very competitive, Kulp said. whats cool about Upstart is that people who give money can give very directly to a certain cause instead of having no control over where it goes. There are no set timelines for the expansion of Upstart, but the organization plans to spread to other schools based on the amount of interest from potential upstarts and backers.

republican riley challenges six-term incumbent

equality, which Langevin supports and riley does not. riley said he wants to concentrate on economic issues in Congress, because he has spent 35 years as a business guy. he wants to reform the tax code to make the U.S. more competitive with foreign countries by replacing the progressive tax rate with a flat tax rate, he said, adding, Im for limited government, which means flatter, simpler taxes. But not all of rileys policies are in

A republican has not represented rhode Islands second congressional district since 1991, but Michael riley, a businessman and consultant, hopes to break the Democrats two-decade streak this november with his campaign to unseat six-term rep. James Langevin, D-r.I. Last week, riley defeated three other republicans to win his partys nomination with 65.6 percent of the vote.The closest runner-up garnered 18.5 percent of the vote. with the weight of his party behind him and a political climate that some experts believe will favor anti-incumbent republican challengers especially in the house of representatives riley probably represents the most significant threat Langevin has faced during his tenure in the U.S. Congress, said Maureen Moakley, professor of political science at the University of rhode Island. while campaigning, riley has frequently contrasted his life in the private sector with Langevins relative inexperience outside of professional politics. (Langevin) knows nothing about the economy, riley told The herald. never has. Probably never will. Langevin was unavailable for comment. riley has highlighted his experi-

ence starting companies and working on wall Street to convince voters that he knows the inner workings of the economy in a way Langevin does not. riley has also signed a pledge that would limit him to three terms six years in the house of representatives if he is elected. riley said he believes that signing the pledge indicates he is not interested in a career as a politician he already has a career in business, he said but that he is just someone who wants to fix a broken system. riley has run unsuccessfully for both the narragansett town Council in 2008 and the republican nomination to contend for a seat in the rhode Island State Senate in 2010. while six years in the house would not allow riley enough time to build up seniority which often translates into political clout riley said his opponent has spent 12 years in Congress and considers his greatest accomplishment signing the health care bill, which I think should be repealed. riley cited a 2008 ranking by the national Journal that listed Langevin as the 217th most effective Democratic congressman out of 235. This ranking was published when Democrats had a majority in the house, which the party has since lost. They could vote him in this year and have him be a minority member who doesnt head any committees, riley said.

Despite an ambitious campaign that may reenergize the republican Party in a district often considered a Democratic lock, riley still appears poised to lose the general election, Moakley said. But in a district where the Democrat consistently wins with upwards of 60 percent of the vote, you have to put (rileys run) in context, she said. even if theres a credible challenge (to Langevin), its newsworthy, Moakley said. Its not just about this race. Its about the fact that the republican

(langevin) knows nothing about the economy. Never has. probably never will.

Michael riley Republican congressional candidate

line with the those of the republican leadership he said he has rejected the partys refusal to raise any form of taxes. A flat, simple tax code requires closing loopholes for wealthy individuals and corporations, which in some ways is not what the republican Party currently supports, riley said. he has refused to put his name on a pledge circulated by Americans for tax reform, Grover norquists tax reform advocacy group, which would commit him to not voting for any tax increases while in Congress and has been signed by the majority of republican congressional

might be in it for the long haul, she added. riley told rhode Island national Public radio that he may be willing to use $1.5 million of his own money to narrow the gap between him and his opponent. The campaign will likely revolve around issues similar to those central to the presidential election the size and scope of the federal government, tax reform and President Barack obamas signature health care law, riley said. Both riley and Langevin are generally pro-life, though they differ on marriage

candidates. But riley supports lowering taxes on corporations as well as people. If the rest of the world was at 90 percent (corporate tax rate), we might be able to raise, but its not, riley said. were trading all over the world. Canada is 15 percent, ours is 35 percent, he added. on most other issues, riley supports the republican leadership. he opposes most of obamas health care reform law, except for the provisions that prevent insurers from excluding individuals with preexisting conditions and extend the age people can stay on their parents health insurance to 26. riley said he also supports the repeal of the Dodd-Frank wall Street reform and Financial Protection Act, calling it a bunch of baloney. he compared both the Dodd-Frank bill and the health care bill to banning wheels to prevent car accidents. riley will be able to make an intelligent and eloquent case for the republican partys platform, but the odds against him are likely too steep for him to overcome, Moakley said. Langevin has been a conscientious legislator and maintained his connection to his hometown, warwick, a major city in the second district that represents 20 percent of his constituents. These advantages on top of the typical Democratic voting block will make Langevin very difficult to defeat, she added.

despite surplus, budget gap persists

sues hit home locally, Daly said, adding that he sees many parallels between the problems the teachers in Chicago are dealing with and those that Providence teachers will face with budget cuts to the Department of Labor and training. he said he hopes the rally not only demonstrated the movements support for Chicago teachers, but also their concern for the welfare of local teachers. weve seen nothing but support so far, said terry Cummings, a member of occupy Providence. Approximately 15 members attended Sundays rally. Several people stopped by to discuss the issues with the occupiers, and even more people yelled supportive exclamations out of car windows, Cummings said. the police asked them to move once, but were very cordial, he added.

The state budget surplus for the end of fiscal year 2012 exceeded estimates by $21.7 million, according to a report released by State Controller Marc Leonetti Aug. 30. But the surplus will have little impact on dismal out-year budget gaps projected at $103.6 million in 2014, a figure expected to more than quadruple by 2017. revenue estimates are just that, said Christine hunsinger, press secretary for Gov. Lincoln Chafee 75 P14 P16, who said differences between projected and actual surplus occur quite frequently. The (budget) office has a record of being fairly close, she said, adding that in the context of an $8 billion budget, returns of $21.7 million more than expected show that surplus estimates for fiscal year 2012 were fairly

accurate. Most of the extra surplus comes from an additional $14.7 million in personal income tax revenue and $4.4 million in sales tax. But some of that surplus was offset by shortfalls in other areas, including deficits of $8.4 million from corporate tax revenue and $2.5 million from cigarette taxes. The end of the current fiscal year has a projected surplus of $32.7 million. when the projected surplus for 2013 and $93.3 million estimated surplus from 2012 are combined, nearly half the funds come from non-recurring savings and revenue, according to state house Fiscal office budget analysis briefings. This means the 2012 and 2013 budget surpluses are not likely to continue. The General Assemblys fiscal year 2013 enacted budget does not resolve out-year budget gaps, but includes initiatives to limit the detrimental iminitiatives changes. wong said he sees great promise in Salciccioli as a future leader in education reform, adding that what she has already done is proof of her potential. Salciccioli worked as a project coordinator in texas, where she helped teachers use a new math curriculum effectively and assisted them in finding strategies to help individual students who were struggling, she said. She also taught in a high-risk area of the washington, D.C. public school system. You do your best to pick the right person, but you dont really know until you meet them, Grady said.

The state may reduce future deficits through other measures, like a tax amnesty program, hunsinger said. The program offers incentives for past-due taxpayers to complete payments they owe during a 75-day period from Sept. 2 to nov. 15. The states health Information exchange program, which will allow for electronic transfer of medical records, is expected to reduce costs to the state in out-years once it begins, hunsinger said. But the most pivotal game-changer in combatting projected out-year deficits could be in the hands of voters nov. 6. nearly one-third of the budget gap projected for fiscal year 2017 is attributed to losses in gambling revenue,

The addition of table games at twin river could bring in an additional $60 million alone, said Larry Berman, spokesman for rhode Island house Speaker Gordon Fox, D-Providence. Past referenda in 1994 and 2006 to expand gambling in the state failed to pass, but the states future financial uncertainty may be a deciding factor in the success of the measures this year. table games will help rhode Island be more competitive with our neighboring state, Berman said.

During her year of graduate school, Salciccioli said she will conduct research for the More and Better Learning time Initiative alongside Annenberg faculty members. The Annenberg Institute recently received a $600,000 grant from the Ford Foundation for this initiative, which seeks to examine how time spent in high school can be used more effectively.

Have your apple and eat it, too?
editorial
The week-long strike between Chicagos teachers Union and school board officials was expected to end last Sunday, but instead took a turn for the worse over the weekend as negotiations failed to satisfy either party. As of press time, the strike rages on, continuing to frustrate teachers, students and elected officials, particularly Chicago Mayor rahm emanuel. we urge both sides to think critically about the implications of holding a strike of this magnitude and duration. Chicago public school teachers are protesting several changes, the most substantial of which is the school boards proposal to evaluate and potentially dismiss theoretically underperforming teachers based on students standardized test performance. The teachers are also demanding recall rights in the probable case of school closures, as well as fair compensation. we must, however, consider the possibility that it is the teachers who are failing. Four in 10 children do not graduate out of Chicagos school system, but teachers are annually paid on average nearly $50,000, which ranks near the top of many public school systems in the U.S. There is a reason why emanuel wants to overhaul the school system Chicagos kids simply arent succeeding with the established educational system. of course, the general public and the teachers themselves realize how rewarding and burdensome being a teacher can be. More specifically, the arduous responsibility of teaching in a low-income, under-achieving school is bound to test teachers grit, patience and altruistic characters. Many Chicago public schools are faced with less-than-ideal circumstances and absolutely require experienced teachers who put students achievements and successes before their own. while many of the teachers on strike would and should characterize themselves as being noble, we are disappointed that these teachers seem to be undermining their character for personal gain. Indeed, it is sad to witness the selflessness of teachers be dampened by personal, though realistic demands for improvement. we simply do not believe these teachers can have their cake and eat it, too. It is a huge contradiction when teachers attempt to preserve their honorable, selfsacrificing status while picketing at the same time. not only are hundreds of thousands of kids out of school, but many have also lost respect for their teachers and feel betrayed that their greatest role models have put themselves over their students. This is something all teachers need to take into account when voicing their discontent in such a public manner. At Brown, relationships between students and faculty are highly encouraged. Though much of the faculty engages in more professional activities than just teaching, they were hired in the first place to teach and inspire students. Furthermore, we urge the public school teachers in Providence, though the citys education system is in dire straits, to recognize their awesome power in affecting students minds. This is why teachers should teach, and by striking, we question whether this inspiring notion is compromised. emanuel isnt trying to end benefits and opportunities for teachers. he is trying to end something that clearly isnt working, and that is commendable on its own. while we are impressed with Chicagos teachers for joining together in the pursuit of a common interest, we warn them and other teachers about what they might lose.

techniques even here in this column. But in a democracy it is also a tool of education. This was true in the ancient world, and it is still true today. Then as now, rhetoric is the way by which we formulate identity and ideology. A good speech should have the intention of educating constituents about the reality of the crises they face and inspiring them to be better in the face of those challenges. Political rhetoric means everything in a democracy. It is the means by which we understand the policies of our leaders and their opponents and are able to choose between the two. Most Americans dont have the time difficult for any one person or entity to control an image or be an authority on information. This great access gives us the ability to distinguish good from bad rhetoric the kind that educates and unites us as opposed to the kind that deceives and divides us. The obama administration did not deliver on its powerful rhetoric of hope, change and possibility, and while we will not stone him or ostracize him for it, we may not elect him again as a result. Yet the past four years has seen President obamas optimistic message of progress drowned out by a more powerful rhetoric that has swept the country. mocracy rotting. our country cannot function when rhetoric becomes so sensational and isolating. when Mitt romney tries to establish a fundamental opposition between caring for your family and caring for the environment, challenge it. when the Democrats shout war cries glorifying the death of osama bin Laden, dont rush to join the frenzy. If we cannot communicate, if we continue to use empty rhetoric that has no substance, no truth and no integrity, there will continue to be no cooperation. The television ads may disappear in eight weeks, but their rhetoric will set the tone for how the newly instated government will function. Then who we elect as president, senator, congressman will not matter. Government will either be incapacitated or as tyrannical as a one-party state. we live in a big, beautiful, diverse country. Conversation among our elected officials is key, as is conversation amongst ourselves. As consumers of information, we are free to pick and choose among our sources. So avoid indoctrination. Be wary of falling in love with any one source of information whether it be rachel Maddow or rush Limbaugh. we have the tools and the access to demand excellence from the political conversation. Lets not let modernity go to waste, otherwise we may find ourselves just the blind and helpless victims of our fate. Claire Gianotti 13 hopes she effectively employed rhetoric to persuade you to be wary of everyone elses rhetoric.

At the Democratic national Convention this year, former president Bill Clinton appeared a true statesman, urging a ceasefire to this countrys bipartisan politics. with great finesse, he effectively appealed to Americans deepest frustrations with a legislative government that seems to have been rendered useless. Let us hope that the party he endorses strives to live up to its promise of cooperation and that Clinton did not lift Democrats above congressional pettiness only for us to find them engaged in the same practice in 2013. As you read, imagine you cant. Imagine there are no newspapers and no Internet. where do you get any and all information about your village, your city, your leaders, your enemies and your allies? word of mouth. who are the sources of authority? orators. You gather in public spaces to hear men make speeches speeches about the character of that guy next door who may or may not have stolen his cousins cow or about the war strategies of your elected generals. even oral poets are authorities of information on pretty important issues: the gods, cult heroes, human history. rhetoric has always been used as a tool of persuasion. It is inseparable from the expressive arts as a whole, and you will find its

to explore the big issues and their nitty-gritty details that threaten our security whether it be the unemployment rate, war in Afghanistan or climate change. In a functioning democracy politicians are paid to understand the problems and come up with good, longterm solutions. Then, it is their job to convince us that those are the right solutions. The business of rhetoric has always been a shady one, but in this modern era it need not be so. The average American is infinitely more equipped to access information than was the average ancient person. A decent literacy rate, multiple competing news networks, the black hole of the Internet even just Youtube itself all make it incredibly Clinton referred to the rhetoric of hate that he sees dominating the republican Party, and he makes a good point. But Democrats can be just as sophistical as well. to refer to religious conservatives as crazy is no better than calling obama a Muslim. neither adds anything helpful to the conversation, both just estrange people that are supposed to be countrymen. Look at Democratic rhetoric surrounding womens issues. Sarcastic phrases such as government small enough to fit on the end of a vaginal probe and the grotesque image of a crossed out wire hanger are used if nothing else to incite fear in the female voter.

hundreds of Brown students study abroad each year, often with the intention of learning a language. They join other American students as they jet off on mass-booked planes, fidget through orientation sessions, drink supermarket wine from the box and roam their new cities toting backpacks of phrase books and nalgene water bottles. while there is nothing wrong with study abroad per se, I would argue that for students who are really serious about learning a foreign language and culture, taking time off to live abroad independently is the only way to go. At least that was my experience. I just returned to Brown from a year-long leave of absence. I spent the summer of 2011 in Amman, Jordan, on a Critical Language Scholarship from the U.S. State Department, taking intensive Arabic alongside 59 other Americans. After a fall spent working at home, I moved to Lebanon to keep studying Arabic and truly experience the Middle east. In Lebanon, I took Arabic courses and interned at time out Beirut magazine before moving to a remote mountain region to teach english in an elementary school and live with a host family. of course, I sacrificed the logistical and social safety net of a traditional study abroad program. But living independently forced me to negotiate with Lebanese realities. A pre-arranged program vets and interviews students potential host families, making sure that questions are answered and expectations are clear. By contrast, my host family thought I was a kind of servant, come to teach their bratty 15-year-old daughter english in return for room and board. however, she refused to talk to me at all clearly, this was an ineffective return on the familys investment. I discovered their discontent when I returned from a weekend in amongst ourselves all the time. But we invented a strange, garbled language, American english translated word for word. But Arabic pronunciation and modes of expression are very different to english. our instructors and peers understood us, but ordinary Jordanians were bamboozled by our nonsensical Americanized Arabic. By escaping the student bubble and talking to Lebanese people, I learned how to say words and construct sentences in a way that made sense in Arabic. Linguistics aside, it is also easier to travel to Lebanon due to current safety and security concerns. Admittedly, sporadic violence is a feature of Lebanese life, and American citizens have been kidnapped or killed in the past. But I find this advice to be overly paranoid and more related to Israeli-American coziness it was easy to stay out of trouble. For example, in Providence, you should not head into dangerous neighborhoods all alone lest you be robbed, raped or murdered. In Lebanon, you stay away from hezbollah areas when things are tense, and you cancel your plans to tripoli when gunfights break out. I felt much safer walking home after a late night in Beirut than I do in Providence or at home in London. The random violence of other popular study abroad destinations, such as Cape town, frightens me far more than Lebanese political or religious violence. And after months of jumping at every firework, I got a sense of how it feels to live in instability and how the forces I study at Brown really play out in peoples lives. It is certainly scary to jump headfirst into a new country on your own, with little structure and no idea of how to spend your time. But the process of finding your feet is simultaneously exhilarating and educational. You fully engage with the realities of your new country and make friends in a new language. what better way to challenge yourself?

Beirut to find my bags neatly packed and placed outside the door. turns out Lebanese people dont do direct confrontation, except for commenting on how much weight you have gained. That was a bad experience, but in negotiating with the mother and the daughter and the school principal in Arabic, I learned that getting anything done in Lebanon takes a long time. I also acquired more Arabic taking time off in Lebanon than I did studying in Jordan. In Jordan we had a language pledge a commitment to speak Arabic find interesting people once you escape the student tide pool. In Beirut I made friends with journalists, aid workers, businesspeople, stewardesses and event planners. In Amman I made friends with other Americans, who were long on friendliness but short on lived experience and insight. taking time off offers a way around Browns adherence to State Department travel warnings. Brown prohibits study abroad in many different countries, including Lebanon. The U.S. government currently advises its citizens to avoid all

The Brown womens golf team has not missed a beat since completing a successful season last year, carrying its momentum into the first tournament of the season. This past weekend, the team placed third overall in a field of Ivy League and regional competitors at the Dartmouth Invitational at hanover Country Club. Last years progress was continued at Dartmouth, said head Coach Danielle Griffiths. All five team members contributed to the team score this weekend. The young squad led by sole upperclassman and captain erica Farrer 13 started the season without any apparent growing pains. on Sunday, the team registered the second lowest round of the tournament, 304, en route to a third-place finish. Standout Stephanie hsieh 15 was a major contributor, posting the lowest individual round of the tournament after shooting in the red with a two-under par 69. The round earned her a third place individual finish, a continuation of the scorching standard she set last year. hsieh was not alone atop the leaderboards. In her first collegiate tournament, Maggie Min 16, placed ninth individually after shooting 151. Michelle Chen 15 also contributed a strong performance, shooting a 160 to start off her sophomore campaign. we have top performers from last year, Stephanie hsieh and Michelle Chen, Griffiths said, plus the addition of Maggie Min from hawaii to give depth to the team.

rounding out the scores were Lauren Flynn 16, who shot a 163 in her first collegiate tournament, and Farrer, who shot 171. hsieh said she was excited about the performance of her new teammates. our freshman are amazing players and have so much potential, hsieh said. to shoot under 80 in their first college tournaments is amazing. we are a young team, but with golf it doesnt matter how old or how young (you are), Griffiths said. Its who gets it in the hole with the least amount of strokes. For both coach and players, the teams youth seems to be a point of potential, not weakness. we mesh really well together and feed off each other in a really beneficial way, hsieh said. But Griffiths is not ready to let her young team compete on talent alone. As was the case with last years team, preparation will be an integral part of Griffiths vision for the teams success. our team goal for the season is the will to prepare for each tournament, Griffiths said. we take each shot one at a time and practice our putting and chipping every day to prepare to do our best as a team. The womens golf team will take this focused preparation into its next tournament at the Yale Invitational on Sept. 21-23, visiting the home course of the Dartmouth Invitational winner. The third-place finish for the team was a good start to the fall season, and we will go into the Yale tournament with great momentum, Griffiths said.

The 19th-ranked mens water polo team finished first in tournament play at the Collegiate water Polo Association north-South Challenge this weekend, triumphing over no. 20 St. Francis University 9-8 in the championship match. earlier in tournament matches, the squad defeated Princeton 10-9 and George washington University 18-7. Those victories brought the Bears to the final match against rival St. Francis, who had already lost a close game to Bruno at this years Labor Day tournament. Though the terriers were ahead at halftime, the Bears

managed to come away with another win, outscoring the terriers 6-4 in the second half of the match. Goalkeeper walker Shockley 14 led the defensive effort with 10 saves, while henry Fox 15 led the offense with three goals. Forward James Mcnamara 14 said the Bears were better rested and more mentally prepared this week after coming off of a 3-2 showing at the Princeton Invitational. In the semifinal, the Bears also turned up the engines late in the match, as they outscored the tigers 3-1 in the final quarter to grab the win. Fox led the Bears with four goals. nick Deaver 15 added three, and Matty Gallas 16, Cyrus Mojdehi 12.5 and captain Svetozar Stefanovic 13 each

scored once. Stefanovic led the offensive onslaught against the Gw Colonials with seven goals. Mojdehi added three more, and Dean Serure 13 and Mcnamara had two goals each. Though Mcnamara said the team took positives out of the Challenge victory, the Bears focus remains on larger prizes. we need to keep improving. Its all preparation for that final weekend, he said, referring to the Collegiate water Polo Association eastern Championship at Princeton nov. 16-18. next weekend, the team returns home to face Connecticut College and, for the third time this year, St. Francis.

bruno sweeps with third straight victory against sacred Heart

Mika siegelman 14 and the womens soccer team enjoyed their third consecutive win sunday. the team hopes this streak will continue when the team starts playing ivy league games on sunday at Dartmouth.

The womens soccer team beat Sacred heart University 1-0 at home Sunday with a winner in the first half by Chloe Cross 15, improving its record to 5-1. Playing at home after three consecutive games on the road, the Bears victory extended their winning streak to three. Cross said the team wanted to make sure the first half was as good as our second half was at northeastern, when the Bears scored a late winner to grab an away victory. ShU (3-5), who according to head Coach Phil Pincince plays a physical game and has always been a strong opponent dealt the Bears their first loss of the season last year, but Bruno turned the tables in this matchup. In the first half, the Bears had multiple opportunities to score, including two shots that hit the crossbar. The Pioneers were pinned to a defensive stance, producing only two shots on target. ShU goalkeeper Sydney Judkins was forced to work hard, facing four shots and relying on teammate Alyssa Brandofino to save a shot on the line. The offensive pressure finally resulted in a Bruno goal in the 34th minute. Mika Siegelman 14 sent a through ball to Cross, who slotted it into the bottom

corner of the net. The Bears came out for the final 45 minutes looking to Pincinces advice to play like its a 0-0 game in the second half, while the Pioneers came back looking for the equalizer with more attacking energy. But their increased offensive presence did not translate into any clear chances through most of the second half. The Bears also failed to make good use of their scoring opportunities, and this almost cost the team the victory after ShU midfielder Jen Melvey received a pass inside the box, spun quickly and shot, missing narrowly with less than two minutes left on the clock. The teams current winning streak is important as it prepares for the start of Ivy League games, Pincince said. The conference schedule begins with next Sundays matchup against Dartmouth. Cross, whose goal against ShU was her fourth of the season, said the win is one of those games that can prepare us physically and mentally. It was really good going forward, she added. Pincince said he was pleased with the win but preached a bit more caution about the result. Its just a tune-up, he said. Come next Sunday, its a whole different ballgame.
