Ater much anticipation, the Brown
Concert Agency announced that
smooth-spitting rapper Snoop Dogg
and the kaleidoscopically electric
MGMT will headline this years Spring
Weekend concerts, which will also
eature Major Lazer, the Black Keys
and Wale and will take place over the
weekend o April 2325.
This year, which marks the 50th
anniversary o the Spring Weekend
concerts, BCA aimed to combine
the new as well as the old, said
James Hinton 10, the groups book-
ing chair.
The chosen acts are imbued witha certain appeal to GenY, according
to BCAs press release.

A data breach involving unauthor-
ized access to paper records o
Brown employees and their amily
members occurred in December,
and Brown ocials were notied
o the breach Jan. 5, said David
Sherry, chie inormation security
ocer.
Blue Cross Blue Shield o
Rhode Island accidentally sent
paper records o more than 500Brown employees and their amily
members to another subscriber
company and its agent, according
to Sherry.
Within 24 hours, both the com-
panies received the records and,
upon recognizing the mistake,
destroyed the records and noti-
ed Blue Cross Blue Shield, which
subsequently notied Brown, he
added.
There was no health or Social
Security inormation in the sent re-
port, Sherr y said. It only included
names, Blue Cross subscriber
numbers and charges during
the period.From what we were told
it was human error, Sherry said.
He said there was no malicious
intent or criminal activity.
Brown addressed the breach
with legal counsel, human re-
sources and Sherry, Sherry said.

This weekend, the womens basketball
team was playing or many things.
They were playing to sweep Cornell
on the season. They were playing to
upset Columbia. But perhaps the big-
gest thing the Bears were playing orthis weekend was their seniors. And in
the nal games o the season, Bruno
dominated the Big Red, 74-58, and ell
hard to the Lions, 54-41.

Friday night, the Bears (8-20, 5-9

they snapped a three-game losing
streak by claiming the victory over
Cornell (7-20, 2-12).
Lindsay Nickel 13 and Aileen
Daniels 12 led the way or Bruno,
each scoring career-highs o 23 and
22 points, respectively. The team shot
52 percent rom the eld, ar above the
season average o 32 percent.
Cornell led by si with 12:31 letin the rst hal, but Brown gained
a 35-30 advantage heading into the
locker room.
Bruno retained the lead or the
rest o the game behind near-perect

We run oenses that have a lot
o options many o which are in-

A Tuesday aculty orum to discussa proposal to transorm the divi-
sion o engineering to ull-fedgedschool drew about 60 proessors
and administrators, mostly rom
the sciences, and many o whom
epressed skepticism o the pro-
posal.
The most contentious part o
the discussion, which preceded
an April 6 vote on the proposal,
concerned a potentially dispropor-
tionate emphasis on engineering at
the epense o other sciences.The administration does eel
that this is an important step, said
Clyde Briant, vice president or
research, who said he was speak-
ing on behal o Provost David
Kertzer 69 P95 P98. Its part o
the natural evolution o building the
sciences and engineering.
Brown would be the last Ivy
League school ater Harvard
to have an engineering school.
Browns proposal involves aculty
hires, research investment and
construction totaling $100 million.
Much o Tuesdays conversation
centered on the substance o the
changes and how these would a-
ect other science departments.

CS wS Were alwas excited about bringing newer artists. James Hinton 10, BCA booking chair
work also helps inorm another proj-
ect: NeuroPop.
Using his extensive understandingo sound, neuroscience and balance,
Horowitz partnered with composer
Lance Massey to create NeuroPop, amusic album designed to help people
all asleep. He said he originally came
upon the idea while working at SUNY
Stony Brook with unding rom NASA,
where he tried to understand the in-
somnia problems that oten plague
astronauts in space.
Could the balance system be
driving the sleep system? Horowitz
asked himsel, since astronauts stabil-
ity changes when they go into space.
Subsequent research ound that the
human balance system is completelytied to the emotional system, he said.
Because balance is based in the ears
and vestibular system, with emotions
centered in the brain, he thought that
sound could be used to activate neural
sleep centers.
He ound that the whole curve
rom arousal to sleep has a lot o in-
put rom the balance system, and
that low requency vibrations could
infuence the vestibular system and
encourage sleep.
Horowitz asked Massey to alter
classical music according to algo-
rithms that he developed in the lab,
and upon distributing the music to
some riends, he ound that it very
eectively made them all asleep.
It seems to work, said James
Simmons, proessor o biology and
director o the lab in which Horowitzconducts his bat research, o Neu-
roPop. People like it.
Horowitz was quick to mention
that NeuroPop is completely sepa-
rate rom what I do at Brown, but
his lab work inorms his understand-ing o human interactions with sound
and also has several other practical
applications.
Still, NeuroPop depends upon the
scientic knowledge o the vestibu-
lar system that Horowitz has gained
in part rom watching the motion o
bats fying around the chain-room in
Hunter Lab.
Only three or our o Horowitzsbats, which he collects rom natural
habitats around Providence includ-
ing one taken rom a math depart-
ment building last week will toler-
ate wearing the modied our-gram
lasers that Horowitz uses.
These lasers, combined with 20
microphones and our inrared cam-
eras in the isolated research cave,
tell Horowitz eactly where each bat
was pointing its head when it let out
a call. As the sound waves return to
the bat ater hitting the chains hang-
ing rom the ceiling, the bat receives
a picture o its surroundings that
Horowitz hopes to use or practical
applications.
The bats are using their sound
system the way we use our vision,
he said, hoping to use his research
to understand eactly how that hap-pens.
Horowitz has yet to make any
ormal recommendations or fying
vehicles based upon his laser re-
search with the bats, partly because
o the odd set o challenges inherent
to working with the animals.
He has had to special-order toupee
tape to attach the lasers to the bats
heads because they fy so quickly that
the lasers oten all o. One bat went
bald rom the constant re-attachment
o lasers.
The lab also deals with the con-
stant threat o rabies and other dis-
eases aecting the bats, since theyare taken rom the wild.
Sharon Swartz, proessor o biol-
ogy and director o a bat laboratory
ocusing on fight and aeronautics in
Prince Laboratory, said she only uses
bats raised in captivity, and thereore
does not ace the same health risks
rom working with them.
To me, theyre just incredibly
beautiul, Swartz said o the bats
in her lab. Its a little bit like giant
airies.
According to Swartz, each one has
a dierent personality, with unique
reactions to her trials, which mostly

They pressed Blue Cross Blue
Shield to do a ew things, including
recovering all the copies, notiying the
aected individuals, oering a change
o subscriber numbers and review-
ing its claims or the net si months,
Sherry added.
Brown has no responsibility in
this whatsoever, but we took it very,
very serious enough to make sure
that Blue Cross Blue Shield acted in away that would rectiy this whole thing
and protect our employees and their
amilies, Sherry said.
Blue Cross Blue Shield conducted
an internal review and modied exist-
ing security procedures to prevent a
similar situation rom occurring in the
uture, Director o Communications
Services Jacqueline Ibbitson wrote in
an e-mail to The Herald. The company
will also be conducting an audit o the
aected members claims later this
year, she added, declining to answer
urther questions.
Brown was required by new legisla-
tion to report the breach to the U.S.
Department o Health and Human
Services because the privacy breach
aected over 500 individuals, Sherry
said.
The law is part o the Health In-ormation Technology or Economic
and Clinical Health Act, intended to
saeguard private inormation and
build consumer trust, according to an
ocial at the Oce or Civil Rights at
the Department o Health and Human
Services.
There have been 47 breaches o
unsecured protected health inorma-
tion aecting 500 or more individuals
across the nation since the act was
implemented last August, according to
a list o breaches posted on the depart-
ments Web site. The majority o the
breaches were due to thet, according
to the Web site.
Though the breach was publicized
on the departments Web site, there
has been little media attention to the
breach at Brown. This is because the
breach was o low risk and becauseBrown was required to notiy the me-
dia only i the breach aected more
than 500 people rom one state, Sherry
said. Aected individuals reside in
`three dierent states Rhode Is-
land, Massachusetts and Connecticut,
according to Sherry.
Quite rankly, Sherry said,
Brown did not make any mistakes.

coming artists.
Hinton said students will look
back on the lineup and think, Wow,
these guys played here.
Ive liked (Snoop Dogg) or a
long time, Hinton said o the hip-
hop artist who released his rst
album in 1993. He was one o the
rst three songs I downloaded on
Napster.
Brooklyn-based electronic indie
rock duo MGMT was the top request
o respondents to BCAs survey in
alls Undergraduate Council o Stu-
dents poll, which asked students to
list bands or artists they would liketo see perorm or Spring Weekend,
according to Hinton.
Usually we dont even get into
the top 10 or 20 in the poll, he
said.
The rest o the artists are less
well-known, Hinton said. Were al-
ways ecited about bringing newer
artists, he said.
Major Lazer, a collaboration o
British DJs Diplo and Switch, will
open or MGMT Friday evening.
Alex Spoto 11, BCAs administra-
tive chair, said the board members
identied Major Lazer as some-
thing that would be pretty popular
by the time Spring Weekend rolledaround.
Starting at 1 p.m. on Saturday,
April 24, rapper Wale, blues-rock
band the Black Keys and Snoop
Dogg who just released an album
and is currently shooting a lm
will take over the Main Green.
I love the Black Keys, and Im
pretty ecited about Wale, too,
Spoto said. We snagged him kind
o early on, and I think hes getting
bigger and bigger.
Because the Black Keys are re-
leasing an album in May and have
gotten a lot o radio play in recent
months, we elt like it was just a
really cool time to get them, Hin-
ton said.
Spoto also added that several o
BCAs board members have seen and been impressed by the
Ohio-based duos past perormanc-
es. Theyve put on a really great
live show, he said.
With an increased budget in
honor o the anniversary, BCA so-
licited some ar-etched prospects,
according to Spoto. We tried a ew
kind o crazy bids early on, such as
Neil Young, Elvis Costello and the
Beastie Boys, he said.
At the end o the day, though,
Hinton said he couldnt be happier
with how it turned out.
Tickets will be sold online begin-
ning March 24 or $18 per day with
a Brown or Rhode Island School oDesign ID and $25 or the general
public.

Its kind of like a football draft. Rodne Clifton, interim dean of the division of engineering
at the University.Engineering is small, said
Proessor o Physics Chung-I Tan
P95 P03, chair o the department
and head o the Faculty Executive
Committee. It should grow. As it
grows, it will benet all science
areas. The important issue, he
said, was to ensure coordination
so that other areas grow at the
same time.
Those behind the proposal
sought to win the approval o other
departments prior to the vote. Its
very important or us to interact
with as many o you as we can,
said Rodney Cliton, interim deano the division o engineering.
Beore the discussion began,
Cliton showed a slide o Browns
Prince Engineering Laboratory, the
Universitys principal engineering
research space, which was built 50
years ago. Thats not the way re-
search is done today, he said, We
need quiet spaces, clean spaces.
To illustrate a model o modern
research acilities, he showed a
slide o Harvards state-o-the-art
Northwest Science Building.
The Harvard comparison per-
sisted when Proessor o Physics
David Cutts pressed Cliton on
the organizational structure o
the school.
Cutts said he was concerned
about a leadership o the school
that was reporting at the highest
level and thus was independent o
other aculties. Harvards model,
he said, was much more inclusive
than Browns proposed school, be-
cause the dean o the school o
engineering reports to the dean o
the aculty. Under the new proposal
at Brown, the dean would report di-
rectly to the provost, bypassing the
aculty o the arts and sciences.
The decision to have a new deanreport to the provost was made
because its just a much more at-
tractive position i we show that the
person is reporting at the level o
the provost, Cliton said.
Cliton also explained that engi-
neering would be unied internal-
ly, with no departmental divisions
within the school. The departments
o applied math and computer sci-
ence were initially envisioned as
part o a new school, he said.
They have opted not to join this
school, but I think theres quite a
lot o support, he said.
Many proessors spoke aboutcollateral benets, using a term
introduced by Proessor o Pedi-
atrics James Padbury, who said
increased research in nanotechnol-
ogy would complement his own
work. Dietrich Neumann, chair o
the aculty orum, said he heard
a chorus in unison.
When other proessors began
to suggest alterations to the plan
and voice concerns, Susan Alcock,
proessor o classics and director
o the Joukowsky Institute or Ar-
chaeology, highlighted her depart-
ments unusual involvement with
engineering. She urged other ac-
ulty to take a slightly more holisticview o the whole situation.
Tan asked whether there was
a comprehensive plan or the re-
organization o all the sciences.
Vohra replied, The whole question
o how we are organized ought to
be considered in its own right.
Donald Forsyth, proessor o geo-logical sciences and vice-chair o
the Academic Priorities Commit-
tee, said there may be discussion
o having another layer o deans
beneath the provost.
Other aculty brought up the
idea o creating multidisciplinaryinstitutes in the three areas iden-
tied in the proposal as needing
attention and expansion micro-
and nano-technologies, biomedical
engineering and energy and envi-
ronment and inrastructure.
Interdisciplinary is very e-
citing, Proessor o Physics James
Valles said. What is challenging
about it is in act maintaining a core
intellectual eeling.
In choosing areas in which to
bring new aculty and epand, en-
gineering would work with other
departments whose research areas
overlapped, Cliton said. Its kindo like a ootball drat, he said,
You go or the best athlete.
Cliton emphasized the impor-
tance o the name change and the
need or visibility to attract stu-
dents. O the 25 top universities
in the nation, 23 have schools o
engineering, he said. The other top
university lacking a school is the
Caliornia Institute o Technology,
which has a ormidable reputation
in engineering but does not have
schools. For visibility, it is impor-tant to us that it really be a school,
Cliton said.
Several speakers touched on
the issue o diversity, both in
terms o the ethnicity and gen-
der o students and new aculty
hires. However, Harvey Silverman,proessor o engineering, said he
was satised with the Department
o Engineerings current gender
breakdown. In his course, he said,
were just about 40 percent women
now. Im not ter ribly unhappy.
With the emphasis on building
sophisticated research capacity, the
impact on undergraduate students
was another thread o the discus-
sion. We do not want to tamper
with the undergraduate experience
at Brown, Briant said.
Cliton said the presence o
more aculty would mean more
courses o general interest couldbe taught.
We dont have enough elective
courses to oer undergraduates,
said Proessor o Engineering Eric
Suuberg.
The last major arc o the dis-
cussion was the plan to raise $100
million or engineering, o which
about one-third would go toward
the construction or renovation o
a new building.
Weve been very careul in
planning this whole thing that
this wont take away rom others,Cliton said. We had a bigger pro-
posal there beore. The current
proposal is the third version o a
proposal rst drawn up in sum-
mer 2008.
The game is not necessarily
zero-sum, Cliton said. The ocus
here is to bring into the University
money that were not getting, mon-
ey thats being let on the table. My
prediction is that the overall giving
will go up.
Cutts suggested giving co-
appointments to new proessors.
This could be an opportunity or
all the sciences to work together
in bringing these people here, he
said.
As or the physical location o
the building, Cliton said it has not
been discussed. John Hermance,
proessor o geology, spoke abouthow he valued running into his
students as he walked around cam-
pus. We need that kind o casual
interaction, he said, concerned
that the location o a new acility
in the Jewelry District or Wayland
Square would scatter students and
aculty.
Forsyth said he would like
Prince Laboratory itsel to be re-
placed. That would be one thing
many o the aculty would like to
see, he said.
Briant noted that Kertzer is
planning to appoint a committee
to develop the physical space com-
ponent o the proposal.

The baseball team took on some o
the nations elite talent when it trav-
elled to Louisiana to ace Pepperdine
and deending national champion
Louisiana State over the weekend.
The Bears nished the trip 1-3, but
came back to Providence with an
upbeat attitude.
We really swung the bats very
well, said Head Coach Marek
Drabinski. We played some great
teams and did pretty well . We need
to work on timely hitting, but over-
all it was a positive weekend and wehave lots to build on.
The Bears earned their lone
win on Friday, an 8-7 victory over
Pepperdine. But then they dropped
two games to No. 1 LSU, 13-7 and
9-2, and lost the rematch to Pep-
perdine, 19-3.
bw 8, p 7
Brown got o to a strong start
on Friday to open the season. In
the victory, winning pitcher Kevin
Carlow 13 and starter Mark Gorm-
ley 11 each pitched our innings,
giving up a total o only ve earned
runs. Matt Kimball 11, the teams
closer, gave up only one hit in the9th inning to close out the game.
Oensively or the Bears, the
highlights came in the sith and
eighth innings when the Bears
scored our runs in each rame.
Daniel Roso 12 went 2-3 with
three RBI and two runs to lead
Browns oense.
lsu 13, bw 6
The happiness rom the season-
opening win didnt last long, as later
that aternoon the Bears ran into
the juggernaut that is the No. 1 LSU
Tigers. The Tigers got o to a ast
start and led, 8-0, by the end o the
second inning.
But the Bears did not go downwithout a ght. They scored seven
runs in the last ve innings and
the nal score was 13-6 in avor
o LSU.
In the loss, Matt Colantonio 11
was 3-5 and Graham Tyler 12 was
2-5 with three RBI.
p 19, bw 3
The next day, the Bears took on
Pepperdine again, but this time, the
Waves came out with a vengeance.
Despite a rst inning 1-0 lead ater
an RBI single by Pete Gresko
11, the Bears trailed ater two in-
nings, 9-1. From there, Pepperdine
didnt let o the gas and went on tothe 19-3 victory. In the loss, Cody
Slaughter 13 was 3-4 and Ryan
Zrenda 11 was 3-5 with an RBI.
During the game, Brown was
plagued by spotty deense. Browns
inability to practice outside because
o the weather may have hurt the
teams elding, Gresko said.
Having not been on the eld yet,
we struggled deensively, Gresko
said. But our oense perormed
better than we epected.
lsu 9, bw 2
The Bears closed out the road
trip by playing LSU again. Brown
took an early 2-0 lead on the Tigers
on RBI singles by Slaughter andNick Punal 10.
But rom there, the Tigers
pitchers kept the Bears in check,
and LSU went on to a 9-2 victor y.
Brown took away some posi-
tives rom the rst road trip o the
season. We denitely are begin-
ning to get a eel or what positions
guys are really going to succeed
in, said Will Weidig 10. The at-
mosphere and competition is some
o the best we will play all year and
denitely some o the best in the
nation, and we really held our own
in the games.
The Bears net play on Friday,
when they travel to ace the Uni-
versity o South Carolina.

The sotball team (2-2) began the
Retriever Classic at the University
o Maryland-Baltimore County on a
strong note, beating Morgan State
(4-6) and Fairleigh Dickinson (4-4)
on Saturday. But UMBC (9-1) beat
the Bears in both games on Sunday,
including the championship game.
bw 9, m s 8, 11
Saturday began with Morgan State
scoring two runs in the top o the rstinning with two hits, a stolen base and
two errors on the Bears part. Brown
had a total o si errors in the game.
We gured it would be a bit o a
rough start because it was the rst
time we actually elt the dirt under-
neath us, as the team has had to
practice indoors, said Head Coach
DeeDee Enabenter-Omidiji.
But the Bears managed to nd
their ooting. At the end o seven
innings, Brown tied the game, 4-4.
The game went to etra innings until
Katie Rothamel 10 drove in Danielle
Comissiong 11 or the winning run
in the 11th.
bw 7, F d 5
The Bears led the game, 4-0, ater
the top o the third but allowed Fair-
leigh Dickinson to come right back
with three runs. Pitcher Liz DiMas-
cio 13 relieved Trish Melvin 12 and
gave up just two more runs. The Bears
posted three more runs in the seventh
inning to win the game.
The deense struggled and the
pitching wasnt where it shouldve
been, but the team just came togeth-
er, DiMascio said.
umbc 4, bw 2
The Bears jumped out to an early
1-0 lead in the rst inning Sunday
morning against UMBC, but the
host team answered right away with
two runs o their own. UMBC scored
two more runs in the ourth inning toclinch the game.
umbc 6, bw 5
Later that aternoon, the Bears
aced UMBC again in the champion-
ship game.
We really wanted to beat them,
Rothamel said. This time we elt more
condent that we could beat them.
But they had good hitters and their
pitching was consistent.
UMBC came out swinging, lead-
ing the Bears, 4-1, ater two innings.
Though the Bears attempted to rally
back in the seventh, their two runs
were not enough to overcome the
decit.I wed had (the rally) earlier on,
we wouldve been much better o,
Enabenter-Omidiji said. But overall,
we were pleased with what we saw
this past weekend.

ships best among East Coast
teams on March 1-6 at Sunday
River Resort in Newry, Maine.
Its by ar the best nish wevehad since Ive been on the team,
said captain Krista Consiglio 11.
Its better than winning Regionals
or our division.
It was the best nish or the
Bears since the 2004-05 season,
when the team claimed second
place, according to Head Coach
Mike LeBlanc.
The level o competition just
went up quickly in the past ew
years, LeBlanc said. The act that
weve ought our way back up to the
top is incredible.
And given the teams peror-
mances this season, a third-placenish at Nationals was even more
impressive. In the ECSC MacCo-
nnell Division, the Bears came
in ourth place and at Regionals
managed only a th-place nish
overall.
Its saying something to go to
Regionals and get th and then go
to Nationals and get third, LeBlanc
said. This was the rst time in a
while that the team has just gone
out and eecuted like they can.
In giant slalom, the Bears raced
out to a strong start and nished
third. Consiglio led the team with
an 11th-place nish. Her teammates
ollowed close behind Kia Mo-
senthal 12 nished in 14th and Em-
ily Simmons 12 came in 16th.
However, it was the teams
ourth-place nish in slalom that
clinched third or the Bears over-
all. It was one o the Bears best
nishes in slalom all season.
That was denitely a big shock
to all o us, Consiglio said. It was
really, really close between all the
teams. The dierence between
second and sith was only a ew
hundredths o a second.
All the girls nished with clean
runs, LeBlanc said. Thats only
happened once all season. They
were relaed and condent.
Consiglio and Mosenthal were
the Bears top perormers in both
slalom and giant slalom and they
both won All-America Honors or
each event.
Only Westminster College and
Sierra Nevada College placed high-
er than the Bears. Both teams re-cruit European skiers who are very
ast and have access to snow all
the time because they go to school
in the mountains, Consiglio said.
Its just really big to beat theseteams rom Europe, LeBlanc said.
Our team has to travel or two
hours in one day to train, and theysometimes only train or one day
a week. I people could see what
these girls did, how theyre so
incredibly strong. Its just mind-
boggling.
C .
skiing
players werent able to carry over the
success rom the night beore.
Only two Bears made it over the
ve-point mark on the evening. Dan-
iels led the way with 14 while Court-
ney Lee 10 netted si.
With 4:05 remaining in the rst
hal, Bruno went on a run and cut the
Lions 14-point lead down to just our
at the hal. In the second hal, Brown
came out with strong deense and tied
the game with 16:50 remaining.
Columbia (18-10, 9-5) slowly
pulled away behind a dominating
perormance by Judie Loma, who
had 20 points and a school-record 27
rebounds on the evening.It was a tough ending to the ca-
reers o seniors Lee, Natalie Bonds
10 and Christina Johnson 10.
It is going to be really hard to see
our seniors go, Nickel said. I dont
think it has actually sunk in yet that
they wont be back on the court with
us net year. But all three have had
such an impact on the program in
their our years, and they will be truly
missed.
The Bears nished the season
sith in the Ivy League. Brown will
take a week o and begin postseason
training on Monday.

The Cornell mens basketball teamcould earn a No. 11 or No. 12 seed
in the NCAA Tournament, which
begins March 18, according to a
prominent analyst.
Ater clinching the Ivy League

ESPN college basketball analyst Joe
Lunardi told Bloomberg newswire
that the 79-64 loss to a lousy Penn
squad on Feb. 12 likely cost Cornell
a shot at a single-digit seed.Only three Ivy teams have won
their opening round game in the
past 25 years Penn in 1994 and
Princeton in 1996 and 1998. Cornell
will learn its opening-round matchup
when the selections are announced
Sunday evening, but the Big Red did
get recognition in the interim.
Senior orward Ryan Wittman

editorial
The Herald reported Feb. 25 that Health Ser vices
plans to implement several new measures in orderto be more welcoming to transgender students.
These steps include training caregivers and sta
on transgender issues, changing orms and signs to
refect the range o gender identities and allowing
students to state a dierent name or pronoun than
is listed on their medical orms. We support these
eorts and we are glad to see that Health Services
is tr ying to be as inclusive as possible.
These sorts o initiatives are impor tant not just
because they improve the experiences o students
here at Brown, but also because they set a positiveeample or other institutions and policymakers.
Many critics o equality or gender and seual mi-
norities speak as i giving these individuals rights
and protections is in some way socially destructive.
Theyre just wrong. And not surprisingly, since TheHeralds report two weeks ago, lie at Brown has
gone on just ne.
Its highly regrettable when others choose not
to go the ull distance in making all individuals
eel accepted, but its downright reprehensible
when public ocials go out o their way to make
lie more di cult or marginalized groups. Thats
why were outraged at Virginia Attorney General
Ken Cuccinelli, who last week sent a letter to the
states public universities telling them to end poli-
cies that ban discrimination on the basis o seual
orientation.
According to Cuccinelli, only Virginias General
Assembly has the authority to etend legally en-
orceable protections to certain classes o citizens.
It hasnt, so universities cannot, Cuccinelli claims.
But the University o Virginia, or instance, has in-cluded sexual orientation in its non-discrimination
policy since 1991.
So why is the recently elected Cuccinelli mak-
ing such a uss all o the sudden? A statement he
made ve months ago while campaigning oers a
pretty good clue and undercuts any credibilityhe might have had in claiming hes just enorcing
the law.
Homoseual acts are wrong. Theyre intrinsi-
cally wrong, Cuccinelli said. And I think in a
natural law based country its appropriate to have
policies that refect that.
So while Cuccinelli now wants to be thought o
as a principled conservative deending the preroga-
tives o the democratically elected legislature, its
clear he is just a bigot intent on using his authority
as attorney general to do a little social engineer-
ing.
Cuccinelli apparently has not been persuaded by
the basic ideas o airness and privacy that justiy
equal treatment o gender and seual minorities.
Still, were airly condent that the 41-year-old willrecant these views at some point in his lietime. I
hes concerned about his political viability, he will
eventually be orced to take note o the act that
58 percent o Americans between ages 18 and 34
support legalizing same-sex marriage, according to
a CNN poll conducted last year. I he is concerned
about his social acceptability, he will want to keep
in mind that roughly hal o all Americans report
having a close riend or relative who is gay.
Unortunately, the state o Virginia is stuck with
an attorney general whose views are backwards
and whose methods are righteningly aggressive.
We can only epress solidarity with the LGBTQ
students, aculty and employees at Virginias uni-
versities, who will actually have to deal with the
direct eects o Cuccinellis willingness to permit
discrimination and oppression.

The guest column by Roberta
Goldman 13 (Brown Students or
Palestine (and Israel), March 4)
misrepresents Brown Students or
Justice in Palestine, as well as their
use o the word apartheid.
To be clear, I am not writing as a
member o Brown Students or Jus-
tice in Palestine. I attended BSJPs
presentation on their campaign or
University divestment rom com-
panies proting rom Israeli apart-heid in the Occupied Territories. I
learned that the goal o BSJP is not
divestment rom Israel itsel; rather,
it is divestment rom companies that
prot rom the illegal military occu-pation o the Palestinian Territories.
BSJP has demonstrated a precise
and responsible use o language.
Anyone who attended their event
or visited their table on the Main
Green would know that they limit
their use o apartheid to reer to
the Occupied Territories only.
Misrepresenting BSJP by distort-
ing their language (down to their
name and main goal) and then ac-
cusing them o cheapening wordsdemonstrates a reusal to engage in
a actual debate about divestment
and the reality o lie under occupa-
tion. It would be nice, or eample,
to hear Goldmans perspective on
illegal settlements, in which Israeli
settlers are subject to civilian law
while Palestinians endure military
law. This dual system o law estab-
lishes the condition o apartheid
as dened by the United Nations.
The illegal settler population can
live reely, while limitations on
movement, conscation o natural
resources, and restrictions on politi-
cal reedom dene the Palestinian
eperience.
A sign on the main green asking,
Do you want your university prot-ing rom apartheid? leaves no room
or objection. Whatever you label it
(apartheid, occupation or plain old
injustice), lets not pay or it. I the
use o a single word was the sole
objection o BSJPs detractors, then I
see that as an endorsement o BSJPs
message o ending our complicity in
Israels human rights violations.
Currently, Brown University is
potentially invested in companies
that acilitate the illegal military
occupation o the Palestinian Ter-
ritories. Rejecting an unacceptable
status quo through selective divest-
ment is the true message o Brown
Students or Justice in Palestine. It isone that all o us should endorse.

Its that time o year again: the applications
have been reviewed and a lucky ew have
been invited to attend interview weekends
at their prospective grad schools. This is a
chance or both the aculty and the potential
students to evaluate each other and get a eel
or the t between student and program.
And while its important or you, the student,
to learn about the program and proessors
during your visit, you should not orget that
this is an interview, and to treat it as such.As a grad student, I went to several
interviews beore deciding to come to Brown.
Now, or the past several years, Ive been in
the position o watching prospective studentsinterview with my department. Ive seen some
pretty egregious interview mistakes that could
easily be avoided. So I have decided to share
some tips here on how not to screw up your
grad school interviews.
Dont talk about how another school is
your top choice. Even i the school at which
youre interviewing isnt your number one
choice, dont tell them that. A graduate pro-
gram can only admit a cer tain number o stu-
dents. I they think youre going to decline an
oer o acceptance in avor o another school,
thats an easy reason to eliminate you rom
their nal list o accepted students.
Dont be late to an appointment. I youare late, apologize. Interview days can be mara-
thons o meetings with dierent proessors,
many o whom will not be keeping an eye on
the time or you. I you can politely remind
someone that you have to meet with your
net appointment and leave, do so. I Proes-
sor x keeps you late, apologize and eplain
the situation when you meet with Proessor
Y. They know how it works, but you should
demonstrate that you realize how valuable
their time is.
Have questions ready, and ask them. I
have seen ar too many prospective students,
when asked i they have any questions or
their interviewer, simply say, No and then
just sit there. This sends the message that
you are uninterested in the program and the
research that goes on there. Take charge! Ask
questions. Show them that you care about this
program and that you are an intellectually curi-
ous person. Plus, i you ask a proessor about
his or her research, he or she will likely talk
or the net twenty minutes straight, giving
you some time to collect your thoughts and
think o more interesting things to say.
Research the department to which you
are applying and the proessors who are inter-
viewing you. All this requires is looking at the
universitys Web site. See what the program
requires o graduate students so you get a
general idea about the department. When you
know which proessors will be interviewing
you, look them up. See what they teach, what
their area o research is and what their most
recent publications have been about. It is a bad
idea to appear unaware o or uninterested in
the research o someone in the department
to which you are applying. By making a small
eort, you show that you are invested in the
program and will be an involved member o the
department. Looking over your interviewers
Web sites is also a great way to come up with
incisive questions about their work, demon-
strating both that you did your background
research and that you are capable o critical
thinking.Dont get sloppy with the current grad
students. It is likely that the current students
in the program to which you are applying will
take you out. Even though you have had a
very long day, and are probably ehausted
and maybe still nervous, dont drink too much.
Proessors ask the current students what they
think o the visiting prospectives. I, when
your name is mentioned, the overwhelming
response is, Oh, you mean that guy who
threw up in the bushes and then got into an
argument with a stop sign? chances are no
one will be very impressed. Use your time with
the current students to ask them questions
about the department, the social scene, the
city not to get wasted.Thats my humble advice, taken rom
eperience. Getting invited to interview at
a grad school is a great opportunity. I your
application was strong enough to get to that
point, it would be a shame to squelch your
chances by making a silly, preventable mis-
take. The takeaway message here is be aware
o how you are presenting yoursel and make
an eort to show that you think the interview
is important. Showing enthusiasm, interest
and respect at an interview will always make
a good impression.

The Anti-Homoseuality Bill introduced inUganda last all is deeply disturbing: it called
or the death penalty or any orm o seual
relationship between persons o the same
se, which was later lightened to lie im-
prisonment. However, capital punishment is
still applicable or serial oenders and HIV
positive individuals. Unsurprisingly, this bill,
refective o the ecessive homophobia and
ruthless suppression o gay rights in many
parts o the Arican continent, immediately
drew condemnation and protests rom the
West which hoped to pressure the Ugandan
congress to stop its gruesome criminalization
o homoseual activities.
Among progressive minds, however, there
are also objections to the Western pressure and
intererence. My colleague Dominic Mhiripiri
12 noted etremely one-sided takes on this
controversial issue in a recent opinion column
(Understanding the odd story o gay rights
in Arica, March 5). Underlying the liberal
eorts to deend the basic human rights in
Uganda, Mhiripiri argues, is a lamentable want
o understanding o the ultra-conservative root
in Arican culture; correspondingly, stern at-
titudes o Western societies on this issue would
yield no positive outcomes. Such objections to
Western inter vention in the Ugandan situation
are well-intentioned and laudable, but in this
particular case cultural relativism is a poor
ecuse to support Western non-action in the
ace o the anti-gay rights bill in Uganda.
To begin with, it is arguable that homopho-
bic sentiments in Uganda could be attributed
as much to indigenous culture as to colonial
import o Christian doctrines. In any event,
we must bear in mind that evangelical groups
rom America had a hand in stirring up the
most recent waves o persecution o homo-
seual people in Arica. It is certainly no co-
incidence that the bill was introduced shortlyater three American evangelical Christians
arrived in Ugandas capital to teach about
curing homosexuals, which received a great
deal o publicity at that time.
I Aricans hostility towards gays is West-
ern in origin whether the r uit o past im-
perialism or modern evangelism it is at
least a sign that a portion o Arican people are
already hugely susceptible to Western valuesand infuence. Thus, the real question posed is
not just giving the right amount o respect or
a dierent culture, but to propagate Western
values o liberalism to countervail an existingculture o homophobia and intolerance that
unortunately was also o Western origin. To
eert the right kind o Western infuence is
thereore more relevant than the concern o
cultural relativists.
Second, we need to careully discern the
sentiments o the populace and the ruling
elites in Arica. Despite the Ugandan publics
determined antipathy towards homosexuality,
the political leaders there are clearly in a bar-gaining mood with the Western countries who
implored or the cause o gay rights. So ar, the
Ugandan government has backed down a little
bit and changed the death penalty provision to
lie imprisonment or the homosexuals or thesake o millions o dollars in oreign aid.
These changing positions likely point to a
very cynical circle o Ugandan leaders who
reason dierently rom their constituents, but
were willing to mobilize popular eelings and
cultural dierences to barter or diplomatic
gains regardless o the cultural belies their
people have long held against homoseual
behaviors. This shocking cynicism and hy-
pocrisy o the political elites is obviously not
something that cultural relativism can account
or. Thereore, any moral objection to stronger
Western pressure on Ugandan leaders should
be removed.
Third, the anti-gay rights bill in Uganda
goes beyond the question o cultural relativ-
ism and reaches the jurisdiction o universal
human rights. Indeed, cultural dierences
eist not only across national borders but
also within a countrys bounds. In the United
States, or instance, we can easily make an
legal argument or protecting diverse and even
exotic religious doctrines or cultural traditions
insoar as the most undamental rights are
protected within those religious or cultural
groups. For instance, some orm o protec-
tion or legal eception is oered to peculiar
religious groups, but ultimately even in thosegroups, the recognition o their special status
is contingent upon the principle that minimal
rights o the members are guaranteed.
We can reasonably compare the right to
autonomy o those groups and a nations right
to resist oreign intererence: the anti-gay
bill in Uganda violated homoseuals right to
live; this must no longer be eplained away
by cultural relativism. International condem-
nation and intervention in this case is not
just warranted but essential to Arican gays
survival.
For all these reasons, we should not stop
at the concept o cultural relativism in de-
liberating our strategies in Uganda. T rue,
it is a complicated problem, one o clashing
Western values, crooked political calculations
o Ugandan political elites and, above all, the
urgent need to deend the basic human rights
o homosexual groups in A rica. Meanwhile, it
is also a case where strong determinations to
condemn and stop gross violations o human
rights must take precedence over enlightened
sensitivities towards dierent cultures and
values.

In this particular case cultural relativism is a
poor excuse to support Western non-action in
face of the anti-ga right bill in Uganda.
If ou ask a professor about his or her research,
he or she will likel talk for the next twent
minutes straight, giving ou some time to collect
our thoughts and think of more interesting
things to sa.
