and it is time for them to be integrated with the larger institute to have a greater impact and continue research. While there will be changes to the administrative structure, Mulley said that they do not anticipate any job losses. Although there is likely to be some overlap in responsibilities between the two programs, he said there will still be enough new opportunities that they will transfer employees instead of letting staff go.

$1.7 million upgrade in progress for Jones Media Center

An innovation studio, tech bar and nearly double the seating space are just a few of the amenities that will be available to students following the $1.7 billion renovation of the Jones Media Center. The renovations, which began during the winter in-terim period, are expected to be completed by the spring, associate librarian for information management David Seaman said.

My Brigadeiro brings more chocolate to Main StreetBy ERIN LEEThe Dartmouth Staff

A large display case fi lled with a dozen varieties of chocolates welcomes cus-tomers upon entering My Brigadeiro, a chocolate shop that opened on Hanover’s Main Street on Jan. 3. Store owner Ana Paula Alexandrescu began her online business two years ago from home, and although she has sold her chocolate in local stores — such as Dan and Whit’s General Store in Norwich and

the Hanover and Lebanon Co-Op Food Stores — opening a store is something she always had in mind. Alexandrescu’s business specializes in making brigadeiros — soft, fudge-like Brazilian truffl es — and offers 39 dif-ferent varieties that change daily in the shop. Each brigadeiro fl avor falls into one of seven categories: classic, fruits, fancy, nuts, liquor, fun and holiday. My Brigadeiro is Alexandrescu’s fl ag-

Kim’s Dartmouth Center absorbed by Dartmouth Institute

The Dartmouth Center for Health Care Delivery Science is in the process of being absorbed by the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice in order to increase the impact of the College’s health care research. While the Dartmouth Center was originally founded by former College President Jim Yong Kim as a separate entity from the Dartmouth Institute — so it could focus on separate oppor-

tunities for health research — Institute director Elliott Fisher said in an email that the integration of the two pro-grams was expected from the outset. Fisher said he is working closely with Al Mulley, the current director of the Center, on the integration process. The Dartmouth Center was launched in May 2010 by Kim and Dartmouth-Hitchcock health system president James Weinstein follow-ing a $35 million donation from an anonymous donor to develop the fi eld of health care delivery science to maxi-

mize the impact of high-performing organizations. The Dartmouth In-stitute was founded in 1988 by Dr. John Wennberg as the Center for the Evaluative Clinical Sciences and was renamed the Dartmouth Institute in 2007. “The purpose of the donation was to leverage Dartmouth’s existing strengths in health care by creating new opportunities for collaboration across campus and globally,” Mulley said. He said that he and Fisher believe that they have succeeded in this goal, SEE CENTER PAGE 2

Professors anticipate Center absorption Mulley stressed that the two pro-grams have always worked together and supported each other. Much of the original budget for the Center went to the Institute, he said. “This isn’t a massive upheaval, this is an administrative restructuring of people who are already working together, sharing resources and creat-ing opportunities together,” Mulley said. Together, the two groups have been applying for research funding in several different areas that involve health care delivery science work. This funding will come from new sources that have not been readily available to the College in the past, from countries such as the United Kingdom, Peru and China, Fisher said. “We expect that the integration will allow us to strengthen our financ-es, by better coordinating our efforts in grant writing, philanthropy and development of academic-industry partnerships — and by improving the efficiency of our administrative operations,” Fisher said. The master’s program housed by the Dartmouth Center will continue in exactly the same way as before the integration and matriculate its fifth

class this July. “The master’s program is probably the best example of the new kind of collaboration that the Dartmouth Center was meant to support during its early years,” Mulley said.

He said that the master’s program has been a success, both for the College and for its participants. It has attracted students in leadership positions from across the U.S. and nine other countries, including the countries with which the Dartmouth Center will be doing applied research

in the future, he said. Mulley said that the only way health care delivery science students will be affected by the integration is by having increased opportunities for international experiences in countries such as England, Peru and Rwanda. More than 50 students have already had service learning experiences in Peru, and the Center expects to expand on that number, he said. Marie-Anne Durand, an assistant professor at the Dartmouth Institute who is conducting research into patient engagement and decision-making, said that the integration has the potential to facilitate new collaborations and increase the In-stitute’s exposure and impact. She said she thinks the merge will develop a broader professional network and enable her to make more use of her colleagues’ expertise. Samir Soneji, an assistant profes-sor at the Dartmouth Institute who is carrying out research into cancer care and tobacco marketing, said that he believes the increased interaction between the Institute and the Center will affect his research in positive ways. “In terms of the goals and the missions of both programs, they align very well, and, in a sense, not having them together created an unnecessary divide,” Sonji said.

Brown University: Before students left for winter break in December, Fossil Free Brown, an organization dedicated to divesting the University from global fossil fuel companies, had collected over 450 signatures on a petition supporting its goals. According to the Brown Daily Herald, who reported on the story, the petition had more than 330 student signa-tures in addition to more than 70 signatures from alumni.

Columbia University: A crowd of 150 individuals gath-ered at Columbia University on Dec. 18 to commemorate the violent school attack in Peshawar, Pakistan, the Columbia Spectator reported. At the gathering — which met on the University’s College Walk — students led prayers in both English and Arabic, and a moment of silence was observed. Students from other schools across New York City were in attendance at the vigil.

Cornell University: Students at Cornell University took to social media during their finals period in December to note difficult weather conditions that dropped nearly seven inches of snow on upstate New York, according to The Cornell Daily Sun. Highlighting posts from the University community, the Daily Sun noted students using hashtags on Twitter and Instagram including “#ithacaiscold” and “#arctic.”

Harvard University: On Christmas morning, more than 100 students at Harvard University received email messages from an account that had sent students and community members death threats in October, the Harvard Crimson reported. The Harvard University Police Department con-ducted a two-month investigation on the issue following the October emails, concluding that they did not pose a threat to student safety since they originated from overseas. December’s email appeared to be an apology for the earlier threats, according to the Crimson.

Princeton University: During an Economics 101 lecture in December at Princeton, students were interrupted by 20 male streakers, the Daily Princetonian reported. At the time of reporting, none of the individuals — who wore only scarfs, ski masks and sneakers — had been identified.

The University of Pennsylvania: In early December, the Daily Pennsylvanian reported on the University of Pennsylvania’s Student Veteran’s Association’s petition requesting a resource center for veterans. At the time, the Daily Pennsylvanian reported that it was unlikely that such a center would be established in the short term.

Yale University: Beginning in the fall of 2015 at Yale, gender-neutral housing, referred to as “mixed-gender” by the University, will be available to sophomore students in addition to upperclassmen, the Yale Daily News reported.

Seeking Innovative Interdisciplinary Student Arts Projects!

The Hop Garage, a suite of three studio spaces across from the Hop’s Courtyard Café, is open and in use as a space for arts teaching and the development of student arts projects. The Hop, Theater Department and Music Department invite proposals from students who wish to use the space for rehearsal, practice, project development and small-scale events (occupancy is limited to 49 persons in each studio). Students interested in developing winter term projects must submit a proposal (found at hop.dartmouth.edu/online/hop_garage) by friday, January 16 at 5 pm.

Among the criteria for successful proposals are: • Projects of an interdisciplinary nature

• Projects that take unique advantage of the qualities in the Hop Garage spaces

• Projects that lead to a specific culminating event or performance will be preferred over routine rehearsals and practice sessions

For more information, email [email protected]

Added seating, new studio and tech bar for Jones Media Centerservices. These changes came about after directors of the center observed an opportunity for greater usage of the facilities, especially since they ex-pected an increase in media-centric projects. Students and faculty members provided feedback equally, head of digital media and library technolo-gies Anthony Helm said. Students would often move furniture around to create workspaces, and this pat-tern spurred the idea to increase available seating, Seaman said. The library conducted a triennial survey in 2014, sent out to 1,528 undergraduates and 771 graduates, which also provided feedback that shaped plans for the center. One new addition will be an innovation studio — a malleable workspace made up of glass ac-cordion-style walls. Students and professors will be able to make use of the space as a small classroom or open the walls to include more seating space. The back wall will be comprised of fl at monitors and has green screen capabilities. Next to the studio will be three offi ces for staff workers and consultants. The Center moved a large col-lection of microfi lms to storage and will move their media collection

of over 15,000 DVDs and 5,500 video tapes behind the help desk, thus rearranging the layout of the Center. Staff and technology help have been moved more toward the center of the space to make them more accessible and expedite service. Lookup stations will be installed next to the circulation desk so that users can search for materials they need. The new casual seating will vacate some of the equipped work-spaces for students actually in need of the technological capabilities at those workstations. Combined seating capacity will increase from 48 to 88. Several spaces are being created in which students can work, such as the “living room,” which will allow students to engage in group presentations and gaming. Helm also hopes to obtain the “whisper room,” or a sound-contained box, from the music de-partment, which will then become available to students who need voiceover work. New screens around the center will showcase a variety of media-related programs and opportunities for students. A new “Tech Bar” will supply equipment that students can bor-row, as well as provide training and

consultation for the equipment and projects. Newly-purchased equip-ment, such as sports cameras, will also be available for use. The Center will continue to offer its services during the renovations, though it will have reduced seating and workstations. Some of the ser-vices provided by Jones have been moved to the second fl oor landing

area outside the Center and the Evans Map Room. Similar presentation facilities ex-ist, such as one at McGill University, which served as inspiration. Prior renovations have included increasing available office and videotape space along with the implementation of an internship program, former director of Jones

Media Center Michael Beahan said. Beahan said that adaptability is important for a media center, espe-cially one such as Jones, which has always been able to have the most up-to-date software and hardware. “It is important for a media center to continue to innovate and to be able to change with the technology,” Beahan said.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 2015THE DARTMOUTH OPINIONPAGE 4

Staff Columnist Jon Miller ’15

Casting a Wider Net Based on current policy, the Organizational Adjudication Committee of the judicial affairs office handles cases of misconduct for student groups (both Greek and non-Greek). The com-mittee is made up of faculty members, admin-istrators and students who are given a packet of related materials beforehand so they may familiarize themselves with details of the case. Then the actual presentation of the case occurs. It is not unlike a jury, although fundamentally the committee is not determining culpability. Rather they suggest sanctions to the judicial affairs office based on precedent. Like a jury, though, the committee may debate how closely the suggested sanctions should match precedent. They can also take the past history of an organization into account — which I believe is an important part of the process. Like a person, organizations can have a character to them. Just as a jury might look differently at a one-time offender than they would at someone with an extensive background of criminal history, so too might an organization’s current offenses be seen within the context of a larger history. Currently, only a three-year backlog of an organization’s disciplinary history is presented to the committee. The rationale, judicial affairs director Leigh Remy wrote in an email, is that the oldest possible members implicated in an organization’s past activity would be seniors who had joined the organization as freshmen. Looking back more than three years, the reasoning follows, could potentially penalize current members for infractions for which they are not responsible, as they would have been committed by members whom the current members may have never met. Such a limited consideration of past incidents, however, hinders the committee’s ability to make a more holistic assessment on the culture within an organization, which can reveal the core values of the organization and its members over a long period of time. I think it is important that student groups who face potentially serious sanctions by the College should be given the chance to show that they have a long history of service and con-tributions to the College and that recent issues might only be a superficial, recent development.

Conversely, it would also be important to see if the organization had a history of similar issues with the College, particularly if similar incidents continually and predictably occur. Inquiries on my part about the history of this policy simply revealed that the three-year limit dates back to the creation of the OAC. The judicial affairs office could not find files that indicated what the past policy of disciplin-ary action disclosure was prior to the formation of its creation. And while the three-year limit on disciplinary history records may be a long-standing policy, I believe it would be in the favor of students and student organizations to have it modified. In light of the recent reforms in how the Col-lege handles cases of sexual assault, the College should review how other parts of the judicial process for individuals and organizations could also be modified. The limited history of disciplin-ary action currently permitted in organizational reviews prevents the students, administrators and faculty entrusted with suggesting sanctions from adequately judging the situation. Should current members of a group be penalized for the actions of long-passed alumni? Certainly not. But it is also hard to ask the committee to make an informed decision when the evidence cannot provide a comprehensive picture of an organization. Considering more than three years of an organization’s record may reveal whether the problem perhaps rooted more deeply in the organization’s culture. I would suggest that the disclosure of information be expanded to eight to nine years, so that more leeway can be given to groups that have a consistent history of good conduct and service to the College. Conversely, the committee could consider the possibility of stronger sanctions for an organization with eight to nine years of conflict or judicial issues as compared to those for a group that has only had one or two minor judicial issues. I have always been a proponent of transpar-ency, and I believe an increased time frame of disclosed information would make sanctioning more equitable and actually work in favor of many organizations.

STAFF COLUMNIST WILL ALSTON ’16

The Price We PayJudicial sanctions should consider student organizations’ long-term histories. Public debate of unsavory views is an essential guarantor of civil liberties.

In his Nov. 17 column, “Fixing Free Speech,” Zach Traynor ’16 suggested that the United States could become more progressive by getting rid of “aggressive” civil liberties in the manner of supposedly more enlightened countries like Germany and Canada. Perhaps civil liberties are only “aggressive” in the sense that they provide our best defense — vigorous debate — against both ignorance and tyranny. I don’t think anybody’s buying the hyperbolic argument that political correctness run amok will lead to gulags for people who utter homophobic slurs, though a reminder of what state-imposed universal orthodoxy looks like in practice can be helpful. Rather, the preservation of free speech keeps alive a modern society that does a fine job of convincing others to adopt tolerant at-titudes on its own. Despite the widespread and instinctual fear of the unfamiliar and foreign, free speech acts as an effective mechanism for counterbalancing views of hate or ignorance. The idea that you have “the right to say what you want to say without significant con-sequences” in this country is patently absurd. Look at Phil Robertson from “Duck Dynasty,” Donald Sterling or any politician who makes a serious gaffe. People react to what you say and judge you for it — no matter what Big Brother is doing about it — and this includes what any reasonable person would call “serious consequences.” The internet may allow people with unpopular views to express them without censorship, but it is also home to the social media that keep them on their toes 24/7. Somebody else can always criticize their views in a public space, especially if those views run contrary to a general consensus of netizens. This may have its own undesirable consequences — an otherwise productive contributor to society like former Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich, who pri-vately donated money to the awful Proposition 8 campaign, can be pressured to resign from their job for one action out of step with the internet social activist hive mind — but it doesn’t warrant government action. As the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms states, free speech can and should be

permissible “as demonstrably justifiable in a free and democratic society.” If somebody wants to make an indefensibly bigoted statement, then they have revealed their true character to the “free and democratic society.” Others can respond by trying to convince that person to change their views. At the very least, those who espouse hateful views often find themselves discredited or ignored. How many people were persuaded to join the anti-gay cause by the Westboro Baptist Church picketing soldiers’ funerals? Putting people behind bars for their views and statements lends a veneer of undeserved credibility to the common conspiracy-theorist idea that “the system” is trying to repress them because they are brave enough to expose some uncomfortable truth. If we incarcerated those on the fringe who publicly state that President Obama is turning the United States into a 21st century fascist dictatorship, it would simply confirm to them their views and thus waste public money on giving those folks some useful propaganda material. As many people point out, civil liberties don’t come without consequences. The price we pay for civil liberties is putting up with people who promote methods or beliefs we disagree with. Sometimes that price is very real, as when a book or speaker convinces their audience to adopt certain bigoted ideas, or when a group of dissenters decides to inappropriately ruin a positive experience for numerous other people, doing damage to their own cause as well as the institutions they represent. Other times that price is no price at all — or rather a net gain — when obviously indefensible beliefs are duly discredited and cast away. The job of an open society isn’t to coddle its citizens, insulating them from any sort of personal discomfort or challenge to their worldview. It’s to present them with a bombardment of ideas, from which they can emerge as intelligent, en-gaging and questioning individuals — or not. The aphorism “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” may not apply to losing a limb, but it certainly does apply to free and democratic society in the case of free speech.

My Brigadeiro brings Brazilian sweet to Hanover downtownship store, but she said she hopes to expand her business in the future. The storefront previously housed the Wine Crate, which announced it was closing last September after two years in business. Town manager Julia Griffi n said that the location of the space could make it diffi cult to gain traffi c. “The location she’s going into right now has been particularly chal-lenging because it’s subterranean,” she said. “A business that goes in there must really have a following of folks that are loyal to the brand, so it’s all about signage and social media promotion and those sorts of things. This business has quite a loyal following, so our hope is that it’ll do well in that location.” The Hanover shop will now be the site of 75 percent of the business’s handmade chocolate production,

while the remaining 25 percent will continue to be made in Alex-andrescu’s studio in Norwich. In the shop, customers can watch the handmade brigadeiros being rolled and decorated behind a glass divider. The tourism and student activity surrounding Dartmouth drew Alex-andrescu to open shop in Hanover, rather than Norwich or elsewhere in the Upper Valley. “It’s a great area — it’s one of the main places around the Upper Valley where everybody comes to eat to try different things, and it’s close to where I live in Norwich,” she said. Though The Chocolate Shop, a store located on Lebanon Street, sells similar products, Alexandrescu does not believe there is much competition between the two stores. “I feel like there’s plenty of space for all of us to coexist here,” she said. “My product is unique and different, so it stands out by itself.”

A representative from The Choco-late Shop declined to comment. Store employee and Lebanon resident Brandy James said that the reaction in the past week has been overwhelmingly positive from cus-tomers. “I hope that the town embraces this shop and loves it as much as we love to make them,” James said. “The feedback that we get from the customers that walk through out door and on our Facebook is just superb, and I think that’s what we strive for.” Alexandrescu started making brigadeiros when she was growing up in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and continued to make them for her three children on their birthdays, she said. Her oldest daughter Gabby, who also works in the store, was diagnosed with scoliosis two years ago, and one of Alexandrescu’s friends suggested she make more of the chocolates to take her mind away from the stress.

FROM BRIGADEIRO PAGE 1 “I never though it would be so big, the way it is now,” Alexandrescu said. “Every time I see a customer leave the store happy and loving my chocolates, that’s what makes me happy. That’s the reason for me to be here.” While some students are excited for the new store, others expressed concern over the price point. A nine count premium box of brigadeiros costs $21.65, according to the web-site. Preeti Rishi ’18 said that she thinks the chocolates will be perfect as gifts, especially around Valentine’s Day, but is unsure about how popular the

store will be among students, as it has to compete with Morano Gelato and The Chocolate Shop. “I hope it does well though, be-cause the chocolates are really good,” Rishi said. Heidi Ahn ’18 said she was con-cerned about the high prices of the desserts and the location of the store, adding that it was slightly diffi cult for her to fi nd. Barry Yang ’18 said he thinks Dartmouth students would go be-cause it offers something different from the other stores in town and “carves out its own niche.”

Dartmouth College

Winter to bring variety of events to Hood, Hopkins Center

From ancient sculptures to jazz classics to a world-famous love story, Dartmouth students will have a wide range of arts events to choose from this winter. The Hopkins Center The Hopkins Center publicity coordinator Rebecca Bailey said that she is “agog” at what is booked for the start of the term, particularly Shantala Shivalingappa and the performance of “Cineastas.” Shivalingappa, who performs Jan. 7 and 8, specializes in South Indian dance. Bailey said that “Cineastas” will be a theatrical production unlike anything the College has had before. The piece simultaneously tells the story of both the lives of four filmmakers in Argentina and the films they are producing in a “split screen” set. “The concept, the stories, the acting and the technical aspects are all sup-posed to be incredible,” she said. The Hopkins Center will present “Cineastas” on Jan. 15 and 16 in the Moore Theater. The Chamber Music Society of Lin-coln Center will venture up to Hanover to perform a selection of American and European folk tunes, including pieces by renowned composers Johannes Brahms

and Antonin Dvorák, on Jan. 14 at 7 p.m. in Spaulding Auditorium. On Jan. 23, Inuit singer Tanya Tagaq will perform in in front of the1922 silent film “Nanook of the North.” Bailey said that, much like the “Cineastas” performance, Tagaq’s performance will link film and performing arts. “This similarity wasn’t intentional,” she said. “It just comes out of the fact that so many performing artists are using film and video these days in live events.” Beginning on Jan. 24, the Hopkins Center will start its “Combat Paper Project” workshops as part of its “World War I Reconsidered” series — which will run for the remainder of the calendar year — commemorating the centennial of the start of World War I. Drew Cameron, a co-founder of the “Combat Paper Project,” will use traditional hand papermaking to transform used military uniforms into art. Cameron will also hold workshops on Jan. 25 and a discussion on Jan. 26. On Jan. 30, Oliver Mtukudzi and the Black Spirits will perform pieces focusing on social issues, with a mix of traditional Zimbabwean and modern instruments. As part of the “World War I Recon-sidered” series, the Kronos Quartet will perform “Beyond Zero,” a piece that will be accompanied by film footage to create a narrative of the early years

of World War I. The performance will occur on Feb. 10. On Feb. 25, Grammy-nominated jazz singer and 2010 winner of the Thelonious Monk competition Cécile McLorin Salvant will perform a selec-tion of jazz classics. Bailey said that she suggests that students take a chance on at least one of the artists visiting this term. The Hood Museum of Art On Jan. 10, the Hop and the Hood will host the second Dartmouth Alumni in the Arts Biennial Exhibition at the Top of the Hop. The exhibition will include public performances by alumni in both January and March. The Hood’s exhibit of “Poseidon and the Sea: Myth, Cult and Daily Life” will open on Jan. 17. The exhibition will focus on the impact that Poseidon had on day-to-day life in Ancient Greece and Rome and will include sculpture, mosaics and coin. On Jan. 30 and 31, the Hood will hold a celebration and symposium on the exhibition that will include a public reception, lectures and a keynote ad-dress by Tampa Museum of Art acting director Seth Pevnick ’99. On Jan. 31, the exhibit “About Face: Self-Portraiture in Contemporary Art” will open at the Hood. The exhibit looks at the diverse approaches to the traditional art of self portraits in the

modern world. The exhibit will include pieces by artists including photorealist artist Chuck Close and photographer Cindy Sherman. Student Performances While the winter term offers the shortest season, Bailey said that student performers rise to the challenge and con-tinue to turn out strong performances. On Jan. 17, dance groups Sugar-plum and Raaz will take part in the Hop’s “HopStop” series to introduce school-aged children and their families to the arts. SugarPlum co-president Valerie Zhao ’15 said that the group has never done a show like this and plans to focus on interacting with children, through teaching breaks after dances. “The goal is to engage the kids and show them how fun it is to dance,” she said. While the location of the event, Alumni Hall, is not ideal for their choreography, she is excited to have the opportunity to make ballet more accessible. Dartmouth Idol will return, starting with auditions on Jan. 25, semifinals on Feb. 3 and the finals on Mar. 6. On Feb. 6, the Dartmouth Dode-caphonics will help kick off Winter Carnival with the annual “Winter Whingding.” Dodecaphonics president Katelyn Onufrey ’15 said she expects that the group will debut 10 to 12 new

songs at the event. She said that the concert’s location in Spaulding Auditorium and its wider audience, including community mem-bers and parents, make it different from most of their shows. Onufrey said that the group has not finalized their song choices or which student groups they will invite. On Feb. 7, the Barbary Coast Jazz Ensemble will have its 39th annual Winter Carnival concert. The group’s director, Donald Glasgo, said that the group’s selection will include music by composers Duke Ellington and Mary Lou Williams. Other student groups performing this term include the World Music Percussion Ensemble on Feb. 13, the College Glee Club on Feb. 14 and the Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra on Feb. 28. During the last two weeks of February, students at the College will have the opportunity to see a new spin on “Romeo and Juliet.” The theater department’s production, directed by Peter Hackett, will include interviews with the actors and rehearsal footage. Wrapping up the term, the Dart-mouth Wind Ensemble’s partner group the Dartmouth Youth Winds will have a concert on Mar. 7. Bailey said that the program, which is in its third year, has helped connect young musicians with students at the College.

SPORTS THURSDAY LINEUP

No athletic events scheduled

Squash travels to San Diego for interim training Squash is a one-on-one game, a sport in which two players enclose themselves in a court with just a ball and two rackets. Dartmouth’s varsity squash players work so hard during their matches that their heart can beat upwards of 180 times each min-ute. The intense, fast-paced play can make it hard to even think, let alone concentrate on the game at hand. But the players execute anyway. And while the court is a solitary place, Dartmouth’s squash players are not really alone. They are members of a team that supports, coaches and calms them. Building that vital connection be-tween every member was what made the squash teams’ 11-day training trip to San Diego this winter break so important. “Having the supportive team behind you makes it so much better

when you’re playing on the court,” women’s captain Helena Darling ’15 said. “You know you have basically a family behind you cheering you on. Most coaches would say squash is 80 percent mental.” Men’s captain Mark Funk ’15 added that having a tight-knit group is critical, particularly when the coaches can’t concentrate on or work with ev-ery player at once. The athletes have a mere 90 seconds between games to get advice and catch their breath. When coaches are working with other players, teammates have to step up to help out. The training trip consisted of two practices a day. The athletes usually played on the court in the morning, leaving the afternoons for fi tness train-ing. Team members of all ages took the trip as an opportunity to get to know each other better and to work on their craft in a new environment. The squad also visited alumni in Los

Angeles and Irvine, Calif., and played squash with the graduated athletes to further hone their skills. During their free time, some team members took opportunities to explore the beach, swim, sea kayak or play Spikeball. The team also managed to include a trip to the San Diego Zoo in between practices. Of course, while the team managed to schedule in some time for fun in the warmer weather, squash training was the primary focus of the trip. Funk said that while on the court, the team worked on technique, foot-work and positioning the ball. “Eventually, as we get further down in the season, these will become second nature, muscle memory,” Funk said. The athletes practiced hitting the “right” shot, rather than the shot that just felt good, in a series of situations, head coach Hansi Wiens said. He explained that repetition will allow the players to execute the “right” shot

when their heart rates begin to elevate so high that it becomes hard for them to think straight. Wiens also had the team take part in a couple of challenging yet fun sessions of water training during their time in San Diego. Assuming the teams stay healthy, both Darling and Funk said they feel good about Dartmouth’s positioning for the season thus far. Now that the season is underway, the athletes will focus less on technique and more on conditioning for long matches. Aside from the training trip, both men’s and women’s squash competed in matches over break. The no. 9 men’s squad went 1-2 in three matches, with their only win coming at home against The United States Naval Academy on Dec. 6. For the no. 10 women, both of their two matches resulted in losses. Dartmouth’s 5-4 win over Navy had plenty of excitement as several of the best of fi ve games matches demanded

for a fourth or fi fth game . The fi ve Dartmouth wins came from Funk, Brian Giegerich ’18, Kyle Martino ’16, James Fisch ’16 and Glen Brickman ’17. Harvard bested the Dartmouth men on Dec. 2, 7-2 with two wins coming from Brickman and Harvey . Finally, No. 3 Trinity shutout the men’s team 9-0 on Dec. 7 . On the women’s side, Dartmouth was handed another shutout by no. 1 Harvard who bested the Big Green 9-0 on Dec.2. No. 2 Trinity handed Dart-mouth a 7-2 loss on their home court on Dec. 7. , with Rebecca Brownell ’18 and Carloline Canning ’18 picking up both wins for the Big Green. Coming up next for the green and white, both men’s and women’s squash will head south this Friday to face Drexel University at 3 p.m. Both teams will then travel to the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton University Saturday and Sunday, respectively.

Williams runner-up for Ivy League Bushnell Cup On his fi rst day of tackle football in seventh grade, Dalyn Williams ’16 was told, in no uncertain terms, to practice with the defensive linemen. For the Texas native , however, playing quarterback was always in the front of his mind. “I was a chubby kid, but I could always throw far,” Williams said. Throw long, he was dared, as a teammate ran down the fi eld. Wil-liams cocked his arm, tightened his core and released. The ball came off his fi ngertips, fl oated into a perfect arc and overshot the receiver by a long shot. At that moment, his coach named him fi rst team quarterback. Shorter than the average college quarterback, Williams has been sized up, sent down and passed over before. Now, in his junior year at Dartmouth, he fi nds himself the runner-up for the Bushnell Award — an award given to the Ivy League player of the year. The winner, senior Tyler Varga of Yale University, had 22 touchdowns and averaged 142.3 yards per game, the highest for both categories in the league . Varga has a fi ghting chance at making it at the next level, Williams said. “He’s a good player,” he said. “He’s a strong guy, low, compact to the ground.

He runs with a lot of power. I think he has very good speed for his size.” Though Varga’s year was excep-tional, Willams left an impact on the league in his nine game this season for the Big Green. His 157.57 passing ef-fi ciency led the rest of the Ivy League. He also made Dartmouth history after throwing for 2,119 yards and 21 touchdowns, interrupted by only three interceptions —he best ratio in the Col-lege’s history. Williams has 200 more rushing yards than the next quarterback in the league, averaging 49.3 rushing yards per game . With stats like these, head coach Buddy Teevens believes Williams was, at the very least, extremely competitive for the award. “He set the marks that he did for Dartmouth football, league marks and so forth,” Teevens said. “He was deserv-ing of recognition which he was given, but he also easily could have been the guy that won the award.” While Williams’ record-setting statistics make his ability on the fi eld clear, Teevans also expanded on what his role as quarterback meant for the team. Unlike Williams, Varga was a tailback for the Bulldogs. “There’s a history in the League in seniority. Did that carry sway? I don’t know,” Teevens said. “In my mind, the impact a quarterback has on the game

is just pervasive. It’s all-encompassing. They touch the ball on every single snap. They have to make decisions that no one else has to.” In order to try securing the award in his fourth and fi nal season with the green and white, Williams is zeroing in on the skills he feels he needs to improve, including mechanics, speed of release and footwork, he said. He emphasized that most of his energy, however, will be spent poring over fi lm, studying the team’s strengths, weaknesses, plays and imperfections. “He is what he is,” Teevans said. “He’s an upbeat, happy guy, energetic, curious. He’s a deep thinker. Cerebral. He is a perfectionist — he wants to have great success in everything that he does.” Though his long term goals include winning the Bushnell Award next year, playing in the senior bowl and making it to the NFL, he lists having a successful four-course winter term and improv-ing his grade point average as his most important short term goals. Williams prioritizes leading a successful and balanced life over becoming absorbed into the world of football. His decision to come to Dartmouth is evidence of the value of education his parents instilled in him as a kid, he said. “There’s a lot to him. He considers a lot of different things in life, not just on the football fi eld,” Teevans said. “He has

high standards and is very demanding and has high expectations of himself. He will challenge other players to challenge themselves at a higher level. He wants to bring the best out of everybody.” His emergence as a leader on the team has taken shape over the years. Co-captain and offensive lineman Sean Ronan ’15 said he has faith not only in Williams’ abilities as a teammate, but as an authority on the fi eld. “He’s defi nitely matured into a leader,” Ronan said. “He knows that we look up to him because he’s such a great athlete, you know? A great player. His energy brings up everybody on the

fi eld. He’s happy, so we’re all happy.” As satisfi ed with his season and thankful for his time at Dartmouth that Williams might be, he is not satisfi ed with being known as the runner-up. Having been passed up before, con-sistently underestimated as too big as a kid and too short as man to play the position he feels he was born to play, the Bushnell decision hasn’t been the easiest to accept. “I plan on winning it next year by playing in a fury with a chip on my shoulder,” he said. “I think I’m going to repay all the coaches that didn’t vote for me.”
