U.S. Senators Jack Reed, D-R.I., andShd Whthus, D-R.I., td a

Oil dependency has “turnedWashington, D.C., and specically the Capitol Building, into one o th tw r thr ast pas arthwhere climate change is still denied,”

Whitehouse told the crowd. “Tis isan industry that is comprised mostly 

o international corporations whow aga t ay ag r a-t. T da that w wud awthem to control the debate in ourcountry as to what direction ourrgy utur w g s a ry prda,” h sad.

Following the senators’ presenta-tions, a panel addressed the environ-mta ad hath rsks usg as a rgy sur br pgthe discussion to questions and com-mts rm th aud.

Stephen Porder, assistant proes-sr bgy ad th pa-

in the number o extreme weatherevents as consequences o unsustain-ab us.

“It essentially means moving theclimate o Atlanta up to Rhode Is-ad,” Prdr sad.

Molly Clark, manager o healthpromotion and public policy atthe American Lung Association in

Rhode Island, discussed the decreasein air quality caused by oil emissions.

Cathr Lutz, har th D-partment o Anthropology, com-pard sty’s dpd arswth ts dpd . Du tsuburbanization, the ailing o public

transportation systems and ashy carmarketing techniques, car and oil usehas increased dramatically in pastdecades, Lutz said. She also ocusedon “some positive but ragile trends,”such as the move toward more uel-t ad hybrd hs.

Following a brie question andanswer session, a second panel took the stage to discuss ways o decreas-g us.

Jim Malloy o Malloy Biodieseland Mike Bailey, assistant produc-tion manager o Newport Biodiesel,spk abut thr wrk t ras

th prdut ad sa bds-el as an alternative energy source.During his presentation, Malloy challenged Lutz’ labeling o suchrass as “rag trds,” tg

that his company celebrated the sale ts mth ga ths pastsummr.

Albert Dahlberg, Brown’s directoro state and community relations andthe ounder o Project Get Ready Rhode Island, emphasized the needt adpt pug- tr hs asoil availability continues to decrease.

“Te era o cheap oil is over,”Dahlberg said. “It will never comebak. It s a physa mpssbty.”

Kachmer’s run was the longest inBrw tba hstry ad put thBars th bard rst. O thrd-and-six rom Brown’s ve-yard line,Kahmr, wh had mssd th pasttwo games with tur toe, cut outsideand took o down the right sideline.

“Tat’s not necessarily where Iwas supposed to go, but I watched

said. “Ten I saw (wide receiver

But the momentum o the histor-ic run was short-lived. Yale answeredimmediately with a six-play, 80-yarddrive that culminated in a one-yardrushing touchdown by Witt to eventh sr at 7-7.

Te Bears reclaimed the leadearly in the second quarter whenquarterback Kyle Newhall-Caballero’11.5 connected with Jimmy Saros’ r a -yard tuhdw rp-tion. Newhall-Caballero threw or

Afer a Witt touchdown pass cutthe lead to 27-14, the game took awild turn in the ourth quarter.Tere were our turnovers in a bi-zarre, back-and-orth six minutespan. During this time, Yale couldnot manage to put any points onthe board.

But the Bears were not out o thewoods yet. Witt scored on a quarter-back sneak with 5:42 to play thenconnected with Cargill or a 22-yardtouchdown to cut the decit to 34-28wth : t pay.

T Budgs dd t rra sd kk t g thmss aha. But th kk, th s-oot-three inch tall Lundevall roseup above the crowd just as he washit to make what Estes called “a heck  a ath.”

“We made what could have beena ray brg gam ray trst-ing at the end there,” Estes said. “Youalways knew that with the kind o skill they have, that they always haveth pprtuty t m bak. Butwhen you’re up by three touchdowns,it’s a matter o getting rst downs,ad w bw t dw thr.”

Hhopes to show Brown that hip-hop is something with universalappeal — and in the process erasesome preconceptions about thegr, h sad.

“It’s a real socially inclusiveenvironment in that, regardlesso race, ethnicity, regardless o disability or ability, everyone isgiven the same amount o respect,”

Arra sad.Te mosaic population at the

But Arra as sad PROOV

“We hope to inspire youth tok at ths art rms ad ray d thr w dtrmsm, dtheir own path within hip-hop,”Arra sad.

Latr , b-bys mptd a one-on-one battle, also judged

by dancers Donnie “Keebla123”Sa ad Edd Ed.

During the battle, the crowdstood cheering as dancers jerk-ed in careully orchestrated se-quences o abrupt halts and reeze

rames, creating elegant architec-tur wth thr bds. Ty pr-  voked whoops o admiration asthey jolted back into a smooth,uid glide, some tipping theirbodies to the oor to balance art-uy arm. Othr darswowed the audience by drivingtheir bodies into rapid tremors, vibrating with the deep beat o th mus.

Kelvin “Poppin Groove” Rome-ro, part o Providence’s All City Rockers dance crew, said he lovesdag just r th m-g t th mus. But h as sad

hp-hp s a way t kp hms ut trub.

o cynical ears, R omero’s state-ment seems suspiciously like a linerm a afr-sh spa. But truth, hs pr spaks thip-hop’s authentic history as ammt r sa hag.

“Hip-hop is not ully represent-ed at Brown as the powerul socialmmt that t s th wrdand in Providence,” Rosenbergsaid. He detailed the origins o hp-hp 7s Nw Yrk Cty,where reormed gang membersusd t as a way t prss thm-ss raty. Fr thm, t was

Tey worked in Los Angeles withthe group the G818ers, holdingdance, music and art classes orkids as part o a gang reductionprogram that received recognitionrom the Caliornia State Legisla-tur, Rsd sad.

He wants to continue those e-rts w that h has rturd tthe East Coast, he said. Havingevents like PROOV at Brown helpsthe hip-hop community see that

a major academic institution isinterested in their movement. Aprt th prds rm thevent went to und the purchase o

Arreola said hosting these

Wh th arag Brw studtmight be more amiliar with the

T rt — prrmd anearly lled Sayles Hall — occurredboth Friday and Saturday nights,as part o the two-week “Visionso Liszt” estival held in honor o the Hungarian composer’s bicen-ta.

Daa Gy, assat prs-sor o music, described Liszt Sat-urday evening as “one o the rstmultimedia composers,” drawing

sprat r hs ps rm art— hence the estival name “Visions Lszt.”

According to Gooley, the piecesperormed at “Lisztomania” werechosen to highlight Liszt’s lesser-known religious and orchestralps.

Gooley said the estival organiz-ers wanted to have a concert thatrpratd th smb rtso an orchestra, organ, piano and

chorus to showcase the diversity o Liszt’s work beyond the pianomus r whh h s bst kw.

“I think Liszt is one o thosemisunderstood, maligned com-

posers in the musical world, andpeople may only know him or

one or two pieces, or even moreor his reputation than his work,”

said Mark Steinbach, University organist, curator o instrumentsad turr mus.

Steinbach said the concert gaveaudience members a chance to ex-perience the complexity o Liszt’swork and his composing virtuosity.Steinbach’s perormance o “Pre-ud ad Fugu th am B-A-C-H (7 rs)” th rgawas suay stmuatg, a bur  rapidly moving ngers on keys andeet on pedals. Audibly, it was a ulland resonant piece o music thatrtd Lszt’s tras.

As a prrmr, Stbah sadplaying Liszt is both technically 

and physically challenging, akin to“running a marathon.” As a lover o 

mus, Stbah sad h appr-ates Liszt or his “musical surprises”ad “mrura” atur.

“I yu ha a Bah ugu, t scomplicated but very logical. Lisztis very complicated but not alwaysga,” Stbah sad.

I a rt mpsd wrk that explores the themes o heav-

ad h, th Brw Ursty Chorus lled the role o angelic

 voices in the pieces “Anima Christi”ad “Ossa Arda.”

But the logistics o accompany-g th rga mat th audwas able to watch the perormanceonly on a projection screen. WhileLiszt was the “rst multimediacomposer,” having to watch the

rst portion o the concert on ascreen put up a wall between theperormance and the audience thatsghty dtratd rm th shw.

But pieces such as “Consola-

tions, No. 4” more than made upor this by providing the kind o intricate, epic music that one wouldexpect to accompany a brilliant pe-rd p r award-wg m.

Andrew Garland, teachingassociate in music, commandedprrmas bth “T Bat-tude” and “Te Bells o StratsbourgCathdra,” a p whh Lsztused English poetry by Henry Wadsworth Longellow. With hisbart , h mpd th sra ad humast atur  Lszt’s wrks.

Guest pianist Kenneth Ham-

ilton wowed the audience in thepiece “otentanz” and received astanding ovation. ranslated inEnglish as “Dance o Death,” thecomplex piano and orchestra ar-rangement was a prime example o how Liszt can take something thatstarts ry smpy ad ayr t ta rich and haunting piece. Te way Liszt quickly shifs rom somethingseemingly sof and simplistic tosmthg mpg ad ab-rat, ad th ds a stragy tender note is emotionally draining a artstay ug way.

Tough “Visions o Liszt” andthe bicentennial are now over,

“Lisztomania” will linger at Brownr sm tm t m.

Te women’s soccer team saw its suc-ssu sas m t a safr arrwy ag t Ya - New Haven Saturday. Te Bears (10-5-2, 3-3-1 Ivy League) could not ndan equalizing goal afer a rst-hal strike rom the Bulldogs (9-5-3, 4-2-1), marking only the second game

this season in which Bruno was kepto the scoreboard. Te loss ends anotherwise positive season or theBears, whose 10 victories, the team’smost since 2003, were good enoughr a urth pa agu sh.

“We accomplished quite a bit,”said Head Coach Phil Pincince. “Ithought we had strong leadership.Tat was a goal. We wanted com-mtmt rm ry payr, ad whad that. And we nished in the tophal o the league, so it was a very rwardg sas r us.”

Te Bulldogs controlled the gameearly, dominating the mideld by corralling loose balls and holdingpossession. Yale held a commanding-5 adatag shts th rstha, rg Bars kpr MC Bar-rtt ’4 t mak ur sas.

“It’s t that w dd’t d a gd job in the rst hal,” Pincince said. “I just think that we didn’t win enoughrst and second balls in the middle-third o the eld, and we let themdtat th tmp. Ad th kd thatscored hit a rocket. Great shot. Noth-g MC ud d that .”

“I thought we dominated the sec-ond hal,” Pincince said. “But we justcouldn’t get the equalizer. It was a ry strg Iy batt.”

Te loss does little to detract romBru’s wg sas, but t dssigniy the end o the road or some.Bruno’s six seniors will be leavingthe program upon graduation this
