“It’s miraculous, the transor-

mation,” said Chancellor Emeritus

Stephen Robert ’62 P’91, who saidhe saw the actory building beore

opened the ceremony, thankingPresident Ruth Simmons, the lateWarren Alpert and others who con-tributed time and resources to the

Phillip Grupusso, associate dean ormedical education, who said he eels“sprd” t tah th aty.

Te building symbolizes growth,

“It’s a tg tm ab-ration,” said Gov. Lincoln Chaee’75 P’4, “Ad t s ahrd by thsMd Sh.”

Simmons emphasized the exten-sion o the University’s reach beyondCollege Hill. Te presence o themace, the ceremonial sta used to

lead processions o Brown degreerecipients, on the other side o the

Providence River, carries “tremen-dous” symbolism, she said, calling

Simmons presented Kaplan,

Keynote speaker Darrell Kirch,

Te Oce o Residential Lie hasbeen working with undergraduateson a proposal to allow rst-years toopt in to gender-neutral housing,said Richard Bova, senior associ-ate dean o residential and dining

services. Queer Alliance is collecting

signatures or the proposal, which itexpects to present to ResLie withinthe next two weeks. Te proposal

Te Queer Alliance is recom-mending ResLie include a questionon the New Student Housing Ques-tionnaire or incoming rst-yearstudts that wud aw thm tbe assigned a roommate assign-mt rgardss gdr. Tughgender neutral rooms could exist ay rst-yar rsd ha, thproposal specically names Emery ad Wy has baus thrprat bathrms.

GenderAction, a subgroup o Qur Aa, ams t r mrcomortable housing to students

who do not t within the genderbary, sad Maddy Jw ’4,co-president o GenderAction. Un-der the proposal, the gender-neutral

option would be open to all incom-ing rst-year students. Past propos-als have ailed due to a narrow ocus trasgdr ssus, sh sad.

Te current system is “a lot o work” or students who do notidentiy as strictly male or emale

because they have to negotiate withResLie to change their room assign-ments, Jennewein said. “It seems like

a small thing, but it’s a big barrier i studts ha t pk up th ph

to call ResLie to get appropriatehusg,” sh sad.

Gender-neutral housing or rst-

yars was rst sdrd 006,wh RsL adptd th urrthusg ttry systm, Jwsaid. When the University approvedthe gender-neutral option or up-

perclass doubles in 2008, discussionreached the level o the Corpora-t. It s t ar th Crpra-t wud sdr a prpsa rmpmtat gdr-utrahusg r rst-yars, sh sad.

ResLie suggested GenderAc-

tion gather names to gauge studentopinion in early October, Jennewein

said. Te group hopes to present thenames to ResLie within the nexttwo weeks and then present the pro-

psa wth RsL t th O Campus L ad Studt Srs,sh sad.

Te goal is to collect at least600 ams, whh wud rprstabout 10 percent o the studentbody, Jennewein said. Over 400names have been collected so ar,including those o 60 alums, shesad.

Emily Walsh ’13, who said she

d wth a studt tw yars agwho identied as “genderqueer andtransquestioning,” signed the pro-

psa. Tugh Wash sad sh adher roommate lived amicably, she

rmmbrs th ma that th stu-dt had st hr, ttg hr kwthat he did not identiy as emale.Wash sad th stuat mad hrwonder what would have happenedi she had not been comortable with

her roommate situation. Gender-neutral housing would help students

who identiy as transgender or gen-dr-arat mr mrtab,sh sad.

T prpsa sms k a gdidea or students who identiy astransgender or genderqueer, so longas both roommates opt in to the liv-ing situation, said ene Johnson ’14,who lives in gender-neutral housingthis year with a male riend. Butincoming rst-year students mightnot opt in because they do not know

thr rmmat, sh sad.Ramsey Jeremie ’12 said the

proposal was appropriate because

transgender and gender-variantissues are oen overlooked by the

University. Allowing students tochoose a gender-neutral living situ-ation “does more good than harm,”

Te 2008 recommendation rom

the ask Force on Undergradu-ate Education that senior capstoneprojects be made mandatory or allstudents generated campus-widedsuss abut th atur thprojects and their role in the seniorpr.

Te Oce o the Dean o theCg has yt t sttut ay r-qurmts, whh ud tak thorm o senior theses, researchprojects, internships, art installa-

ts, prrmas r sgatmt a studt grup ractivity. Capstone projects are pri-marily the jurisdiction o individual

dpartmts.Da th Cg Kathr

Bergeron said many departments

have independently decided to addmore options or seniors. Te eco-nomics department, or example,debuted new advanced seminars or

seniors earlier this year, and the arthstry dpartmt s sdrgrequiring a nal refective essay ortratrs.

Besenia Rodriguez ’00, associate

dean o the College or researchand upperclass studies, said senior

partpat apsts has -creased since the recommendation.Tugh th O th Da the College does not keep exact

statistics, Rodriguez estimated ap-proximately 60 percent o studentscomplete some sort o capstonebasd th rmat g thr by dpartmts.

Brgr sad gg dsus-sion about capstones has led tobigger issues, including makingsure concentrations “articulatesmthg.”

Capstone projects give studentsthe opportunity to “integrate many aspects o the Brown education,”Brgr sad. “T ray rtanotion is that you’re putting some-thing together or yoursel beore

yu a ths ampus,” sh sad.Christina Skonberg ’12, who

is currently writing a researchpaper examining the relationshipbetween cattle ranching in Brazil

and deorestation in the Amazon

or her independent concentrationin agricultural sciences and oodpolicy, said capstones are a “great

way to develop student and aculty ratshps.”

Dore Levy, proessor o com-parat tratur, sad sh thkscapstones can be important, but

t wud b mprata t rqurall seniors to complete a project.S auty adsg studts capstones still have to teach their

normal course loads and get noadditional unding, the projectscan create a strain on proessors,

sh sad.In her experience, Levy said she

td apsts td t a ds-prprtaty th prssrsin more popular departments orths wth mr ppuar asss.

But Jan ullis, proessor o geo-logical sciences, said she believesthat even though sponsoring senior

prjts s t a rma part thteaching load, it is still a respon-

sbty prssrs ad thatsh thks s a mprtat part

tahg.ullis said she thinks capstones

can be a “transormative experi-ence” because they can help stu-dents make the leap rom simply

learning to actually “doing.” Tey

can help students gure out howto integrate what they’ve learned thr ur yars, sh sad.

“Yu gt t g ut ad pratinterpreting the real world,” ul-lis said. “Oen textbooks presentan idealized, clean version o the

world, but it’s actually quite messy.”

Capstone requirement unrealized

yu,” h addd.“Te culture in every society

s that ry s s austmdto not having power,” said DougMcDonald ’13, arguing that theOccupy movement is the beginning

o a cultural shi that will allow themasss t d ra pwr.

“Te point o this movement isconronting these really great pow-rs,” sad Ju Pttma ’, th rgazrs th t.

Ultimately, the group decidedt wud prst gras t thCrprat hps pga dialogue about what could bedone to improve the University.T sp gras wr t bdetermined through discussionsover the course o the night andduring the next morning’s teach-

s.Te University’s lack o support

or the Providence community wasdiscussed as a major concern. As anonprot, Brown is not required topay prprty tas, ad t stadcontributes voluntary payments toth ty. As th ty’s argststtuts, th Ursty wudpay abut $30 m auay taxes i it were to pay in ull, the

Ouprs sad.“Brown makes a shit-ton o

my,” sad K Cast ’3. TUrsty a ard t pay tasto a city that desperately needs theunds, he said. Te local educa-tion system is particularly suer-

ing, he noted, reerencing the ourmtary shs sd May to reduce the city’s budget decit

by $0 m.Occupiers also criticized the

Ursty’s stmt prats,

expressing discomort with the

ak traspary. “W ha idea where that money is going,”

sad Ba Rast ’3.5. T Ur-sity’s investment portolio may notmath up wth th bra das tpurprts t hamp, sh sad.

Te group identied the Cor-

poration’s structure as severely undemocratic due to the lack o transparency and student involve-ment. “Te Corporation is made up

a buh stmt bakrsand (expletive) CEOs,” Casto said.“We need to make it clear that what

thy’r dg s t kay,” h sad.At 9 a.m. Saturday, Corporation

members began ling into Uni- rsty Ha. Ty wr grtd by about 30 Occupiers resh rom aght spg udr th stars, u-d by a ht brakast datd by Loui’s Family Restaurant, armedwith slips listing their grievances

and ready to play what Pittmancalled “the spot-the-Corporation-mmbr gam.”

Most Corporation membershurried past the Occupiers, butthose who stopped to chat seemedinterested in talking, Rast said.“Te world is ar rom perect. Weneed your help,” said ChancellorEmeritus Stephen Robert ’62 P’91,wishing the group luck. “Tey’re

all good questions. Tey deserve

t b aswrd.”Kevin McLaughlin P’12, dean o

the aculty, suggested the possibil-ity o a public discussion acilitatedby aculty members to address thegrievances. “I wonder i this is atahg mmt,” h sad.

Rev. Janet Cooper Nelson, Uni- versity chaplain, had expressedr that th Ouprs mghtdsrupt a mmra sr takgpa at Mag Chap, but th

protestors were careul to quietly

rspt th rmy.“T studts ha b w-

derul,” said James Campbell, as-

sat da r studt , whspent the morning on the MainGr t wath r th t.

About 50 participants rom Oc-cupy Providence marched up the

h that mrg t shw sdar-ity with the Occupiers on campus.Many seemed hopeul about themovement’s prospects at the col-

gat .“Ts s smthg that’s gg

to take a long time,” said Provi-dence resident Michael McCarthy,adding that many o the Occupy

protestors will need to return totheir amilies and jobs. “Tey can’tkp t up but studts a.”

Te Occupiers held a teach-in

durg th Crprat’s mtgand ormalized their grievancesin a letter they ceremonially tapedto the door o University Hall in

what Pittman described as “MartinLuthr sty.”

“Ts s hstry,” sh sad.“I really believe in what students

are able to accomplish, but they have to be willing to do it,” McCar-thy sad. “Ty mght mss had-g a papr. Ty mght ha tt a prssr thy’r a part awrdwd mmt.”

Adrw Stwart, a a du-mentary lmmaker, joined thestudents o Occupy College Hillto vocalize his concern with theUniversity’s early ties to slavery and the University ounders’ as-sociations with what is now Bank o

America. He expressed excitementabout the movement at Brown andarss th utry.

“Tis is denitely the last thing I

ever expected,” he said. “But I think

ths s a bautu thg.”

Te weekend also marked therst meeting o the two commit-ts taskd wth hsg th U-

or public aairs and University rats, wrt a ma t THrad that th mmtts had “aproductive session” in planning how

best to involve the community in

Gy, assat prssr mu-sic. For this reason, Gooley, whorgazd mst th sta, sadshe hopes it will inspire studentsrom outside the department, as well

as the community at large, to take

trst Lszt’s ad wrk.And that was something that

was a th rag th th tury.Liszt’s impassioned perormanceshad auds a tzzy k rbeore — ladies swooned, people

ought over his discarded hand-kerchies and, i eBay had existed,

trprurs wud ha hawkdhis old cigar butts. Poet HeinrichHeine termed the phenomenon“Lsztmaa.”

“Liszt made it seem okay notto seem so proper. … Tere was arelease o a kind o Dionysian en-

ergy that Liszt seemed to bring out,”Gy sad.

Gy sad ga th -ebration is to extend awareness andappreciation or the artist beyondhis more eminent works, includ-ing exposing Liszt as a biographicalsubjt.

Aer beginning his career as ahd prdgy Pars, Lszt d thlie o a traveler. Tough he was a

devout Catholic, he athered three

hdr ut wdk ad rmarried. His charisma and kindnessled him to brush elbows with many other great composers o his day and infuence their lives and works.Historians continue to explore his

inamous relationship with the mu-

sical genius and anti-Semite Richard

Wagner, who eventually became hiss--aw.

“H was aways prkg -trrsy,” Gy sad.

His generosity o spirit may havegtt Lszt t trub, but t asd hm t bm a grat tahr.In the later part o his lie, he taughtsuch important pianists as Hans vonBulow, Arthur Friedheim and Emil Saur, ad was kw r -couraging his young pupils to break w grud.

In that spirit, students will be able

to participate in a Liszt-style masterclass Nov. 4, taught by renowned

pa rtus Kth Hamt.Te estival’s major event will be

essor o history o art and visualutur at th Rhd Isad Sh Dsg, w trbut t a - versation about Liszt at a sympo-sium Nov. 4. He will be joined by Hamilton, Baker, Gooley and SusanBernstein, proessor o comparativeliterature and German studies, whois also an expert on Liszt. Monika

Hennemann, proessor in the de-partment o modern and classical

languages and literatures at the Uni- rsty Rhd Isad, w rudut th pa.

Te estival will conclude witha nal perormance by HamiltonN. 6.

“I think o (Liszt) as a very open,giving soul who gave so much tomusic and the arts,” Baker said.“We’ve got to bring him to the ore.”

T Ursty has b uab t

he uition Aid Program, abenet provided by the HumanResources Department, currently provides up to $10,000 to aculty

and sta to help pay or each o thr hdr’s udrgraduat tu-itions. Because tuition costs acrossthe country have steadily increased rt yars, th Bts Owanted to raise the amount o aid itdoles out. But the recent economicdownturn has prohibited an in-

crease to the aid package, said DrewMurphy, drtr bts.

T as dsussd dga “bhmarkg study wth prsttuts” t study smar pr-grams, according to the Human

Resources Advisory Board’s An-nual Report rom 2010. Toughthe study was put on hold due tonancial constraints, Murphy saidthe oce is still periodically check-g wth pr sttuts.

Kmbry Amda, bts -nancial manager, said some orm

o the tuition program has beenaround since the University’sounding and has remained largely unchanged. Te biggest change oc-urrd 00 wh th stadardrate was set at up to $10,000 perhd, Murphy sad.

Tugh th s t ab t

Because the rate is equalized, the

benet is not taxed, which many

aculty and sta seem to appreciate,Murphy said. Te benet is alsoappd tward ah hd wh at-tds g.

Te benet can be applied to“virtually any school,” Murphy said. “In the past ew years, we haverarely had to turn anyone away,”Amda sad.

“Because dance doesn’t havea literary- and object-based his-tory, it’s a very embodied practice,”

Schneider said. “Te question is‘What’s da rsarh?’ Shar-ship has not developed as muchr da.”
